The current clinical practice of endodontics involves utilization of a variety of new technological advances and materials. Technologies available for use in endodontic offices today include battery or electric motors using NiTi rotary file systems, new generation of electronic apex locators (EALs), improved digital radiographic sensors, surgical microscopes, and ultrasonic units. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and use of newer technologies among Iranian dental practitioners.
The population under study included the dental practitioners participating in the 49th and 50th Congress of Dentistry, who were selected with a simple sampling method. Data was collected by questionnaires which were completed by the participants in an anonymous manner. The contingency table and chi-squared test were used for data analysis by SPSS 13.5 software.
A total of 700 dental practitioners participated in the study; NiTi rotary systems were used by 50.1%; electronic apex locators were often employed by 46.3%; 21.7% reported that ultrasonic units were often used. Only 1.1% frequently used surgical microscopes. Males and females differed with respect to the use of newer technologies (P<0.05).
Based on the results of the present study, it seems necessary for dentists to take part in continuing dental education programs related to the newer technologies to improve their knowledge and practice.

There have been great advances in the design and manufacture of dental materials and equipment in recent years, parallel with advances in other fields. In the endodontic field, there have been great changes in the techniques and systems used [1 Kenneth MH. Pathways of the pulp In: USA: Mosby Co 2011; chap 6: p. 1242.]. The use of better and more effective equipment can improve treatment outcome and shorten the duration of treatment sessions [2 Pinkham J, Casamassimo P, McTigue D, Fields H, Nowak A. Pediatric dentistry infancy through adolescence In: USA: Saunders Co 2005; pp. 577-88.].
The use of NiTi rotary instruments, endodontic microscopes, digital imaging techniques, canal obturation systems and biocompatible sealing agents have improved treatment outcomes. The use of new high-tech equipment has simplified treatment procedures and can prove beneficial for patients with complex systemic conditions and the elderly, making the treatment outcome more predictable [3 Shahravan A, Rahimi H, Eghbal M, Movahedian A, Moradi S. A comprehensive reference of root canal preparation instruments and techniques In: Tehran: Moalefi Publications 2 2005; pp. 121-58., 4 Silva MR, Biffi JC, Mota AS, Fernandes NAJ, Neves FD. Evaluation of intracanal post removal using ultrasound Braz Dent J 2004; 15(2): 119-26.].
Several studies have shown the superiority of NiTi files over conventional instruments used for shaping the root canals [5 Tabari K, Esna AM. Maintaining tooth pulp vitality with MTA. 1st. Tehran: Noure Danesh Publications 2005; pp. 201-47.]. In 2003, Molven et al. reported a large number of root canal treatment cases with effective canal obturations obtained using NiTi rotary techniques [6 Molven O, Halse A, Riordan PJ. Prevalence and distribution of root-filled teeth in former dental school patients: follow-up after 10-17 years Int Endod J 1985; 18(4): 247-52.].
Several studies have evaluated the acceptance of new endodontic techniques among dental practitioners in several countries, including Denmark, Australia and India [7 Casella G, Ferlito S. The use of mineral trioxide aggregation in endodontics Minerva Stomatol 2006; 55(3): 123-43., 8 Bogen G, Kim JS, Bakland LK. Direct pulp capping with mineral trioxide aggregate: an observational study J Am Dent Assoc 2008; 193(3): 305-15. quiz 305-15]. In 2007 Brian et al. showed in a study in India that 19.7% of dental practitioners used digital radiographic techniques, with the general dental practitioners comprising 73% of the users [9 Brain JN, Williamson GF. Digital radiography in dentistry: a survey on Indian dentists Dentomaxillofac Radiol 2007; 36(1): 8-23.]. A study by Bjorndal et al. in 2005 showed that 18% of dental practitioners in Denmark used hand NiTi instruments [10 Bjorndal L, Reit C. The adoption of new endodontic technology amongst Danish general dental practitioners Int Endod 2005; 1(38): 52-8.]. Furthermore, the results showed that EAL (electronic apex locators) and soft gutta-percha were used by 19% of the dental practitioners [11 Zho XY, Dong Q, Wang SM, Zhang CF. Comparison of clinical effect of different tapered gutta-percha root filling with warm vertical condensation Hua Xi Kou Qiang Yi Xuue Za Zhi 2008; 16(5): 505-8.,12 De-Deus G, Gurgel ED, Magalhaes KM, Coutinho FT. A laboratory analysis of gutta-percha-filled area obtained using Thermafil system B and lateral condensation Int Endod J 2006; 39(5): 378-83.].
In 2004 Arab-chirani et al. evaluated the clinical use of NiTi rotary instruments. The results showed that all the undergraduate dental students should be instructed in the use of NiTi rotary instruments and these methods have a significant role in and central importance for endodontic treatment and educational courses in France [13 Arbab CR, Vulcain JM. Undergraduate teaching and clinical use of rotary nickel-titanium endodontic instruments: a survey of French dental schools Int Endod J 2004; 37(5): 320-4.].
In 2008 Tay et al. evaluated the use of new technologies by general dental practitioners in New Zealand. The results showed that apex locators (81.4%) and intraoral cameras (49.6%) had the highest application rates. Male dental practitioners used implant systems (41.6 vs. 24.1%) and intraoral cameras (53.6% vs. 39.8%) more than female dental practitioners. The abilities and capabilities of the dental practitioners were reported to be the most important factors determining the use of new technologies in New Zealand [14 Tay Kl, Wu JM, Yew MS, Thomson WN. The use of newer technologies by New Zealand dentists N Z Dent J 2008; 104(3): 104-8.].
In 2009 Lee et al. carried out a study to determine the rate of use of the new endodontic materials and technologies in the United States and concluded that 82% of the dental practitioners still used hand filing techniques. Lateral and continuous wave techniques were the most commonly used obturation techniques. A total of 72% of the participants used digital radiographic techniques; 45% used electron microscopes and 97% used ultrasonic units. They finally concluded that new endodontic technologies are used with greater frequency in recent years [15 Lee M, Winkler J, Hartwell G, Stewart J, Caine R. Current trends in endodontic practice : emergency treatments and technological armamentarium J Endod 2009; 35(1): 35-9., 16 Peng L, Ye L, Tan H, Zhou X. Outcome of root canal obturation by warm gutta-percha versus cold lateral condensation: a meta-analysis J Endod 2007; 33(2): 106-9.].
Peciuliere et al. carried out a review study in 2009 on the attitude of general dental practitioners toward endodontic standards and acceptance of new technologies, and concluded that there are differences between the daily routines of dental practitioners and academic instructions in various countries. A large number of dental practitioners violated the basic principles of endodontic treatment. The most prominent finding of the study was the negative attitude of general dental practitioners toward acceptance of new endodontic techniques. The results confirmed the technical difficulty of endodontic treatment and the sub-optimal quality of the treatments rendered by general dental practitioners. The study showed the importance of continuing dental education programs to improve the knowledge of general dental practitioners [17 Peciuliene V, Maneliene R, Drukteinis S, Rimkuviene J. Attitudes of general dental practitioners towards endodontic standards and adaption of new technology: a literature review Stomatologija 2009; 11(1): 11-4.].
Furthermore, Koch et al. reported in 2009 in Sweden that 70% of dental practitioners who had received instructions about new endodontic techniques used rotary systems to prepare root canals; however, only 6% of dental practitioners who had not received such instructions used rotary systems [18 Koch M, Eriksson HG, Axelsson S, Tegelberg A. Effect of educational intervention on adoption of new endodontic technology by general dental practitioners: a questionnaire survey Int Endod J 2009; 42(4): 313-21.]. No such studies have ever been carried out in Iran.
Studies have shown that every new technique has a low acceptance rate when it is introduced and only a limited number of people have a positive attitude toward new techniques [17 Peciuliene V, Maneliene R, Drukteinis S, Rimkuviene J. Attitudes of general dental practitioners towards endodontic standards and adaption of new technology: a literature review Stomatologija 2009; 11(1): 11-4.,19 Gerland N. Glickman 21th Century Endodontics J Am Dent Assoc 2001; 131(1): 395-465.]. Since no studies to date have evaluated the rate of the use of new endodontic techniques by dental practitioners in Iran and since endodontics is currently associated with new materials and methods, the present study evaluated the acceptance rate of new endodontic materials and techniques and the factors influencing their adoption.
The subjects in the present cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study consisted of the dental practitioners participating in the 49th and 50th International Congress of Dentistry in Tehran. The subjects were selected by simple random sampling method. An anonymous researcher- designed questionnaire was used for the purpose of the study, which included the following: demographic data (gender, age, year of graduation) and some questions regarding the use of new endodontic materials and methods, such as surgical microscopes, ethyl chloride spray, loops, transillumination, digital radiography, apex locators, NiTi rotary files, electric motors, ultrasonic devices, high-taper gutta-percha, intraoral cameras, local anesthetic injection techniques, Thermafil technique for canal obturation, and MTA. In order to evaluate validity and reliability of the questionnaire 10 endodontists and pedodontists were asked to fill in the questionnaire as a control. Then the questionnaires were collected and evaluated by a statistical consultant to validate the questionnaire. The questionnaire proved to be appropriately valid. In the second stage, the questionnaires were distributed among 20 dental practitioners who had given their consent to take part in the study to evaluate the reliability of the questionnaire. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated by a statistical consultant after they were collected. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient showed that the questionnaire was appropriately reliable. Subsequent to editing and prioritizing the questions the final questionnaire, which consisted of 16 questions and some demographic data, was prepared and completed and then distributed among the subjects. An instructed individual distributed the questionnaires a few minutes before one of the Congress sessions among 824 participants of the Congress, who had volunteered to fill in the questionnaires and asked them to return the questionnaires at the end of the Congress. A total of 700 (84.9%) of the questionnaires were returned. After data collection, data was coded and the mean questionnaire score was taken into account in order to better evaluate the answers to the questions (Each 'yes' received a score of 1 and each 'no' received a score of 'zero'. Then the total score of the use of new materials and techniques was calculated. Contingency tables and chi-squared test were used to evaluate the relationship between the use of new endodontic instruments and techniques. In addition, means and standard deviations were used to express frequencies of demographic variables of the participants. Data was analyzed by ver. 13.5 of SPSS statistical software.
In the present study 824 questionnaires were distributed, of which 700 (84.9%) questionnaires were retuned. Males and females comprised 245 and 452 of the participants, respectively. The greatest and lowest number of participants had gradated during 1998-2009 and 1958-1967, respectively. The results showed that the mean number of root canals treated during a week ranged between zero and 80 canals. The greatest numbers of root canals treated, in decreasing order, were reported to be in groups 0-4, 5-14 and 15-25, respectively. Tables 1 and 2 show the rates of the use of new endodontic instruments and techniques separately for gender and educational levels (general practitioners vs. specialists), respectively.
The highest positive response to the use of instruments was related to NiTi rotary files with 50.1% (348 participants) using them. The lowest response was related to surgical microscopes with only 1.1% (8 participants) using them. There were significant differences in responses to use loop for magnification, digital radiography, Niti rotary file ,electric motor for Niti rotary file, oral camera , Injection technique (Obtura) for canal obturation , Use of MTA in apicoectomy procedures (between males and females (p value <0.05)There were significant differences in responses to all the questions in relation to the academic degree (general practitioner vs. specialist) except using surgical microscop, oral camera, injection technique (obtura)for canal obturation and centeral heating technique(thermafil) for canal obturation.
The results of the present study showed a significant relationship between the use of new endodontic instruments and treatment modalities and gender (P=0.007). Females used new techniques more frequently than males.
There was a significant relationship between the use of new endodontic instruments and techniques and being general practitioners and endodontists (P=0.001); in other words, the highest and lowest rates of use were observed in endodontists and general practitioners, respectively.
This is not significant! Table 3 shows the usage rates of new endodontic instruments and techniques separately for graduation year, demonstrating no significant relationship between the two variables (p=0.29).
Regarding the use of MTA, the results of the present study showed that it is more frequently used as an apical plug in young permanent teeth; it is least frequently used in apicectomy procedures.
The present study evaluated the use of new endodontic instruments and techniques by general dental practitioners and specialists.
At present endodontics is associated with new instruments and techniques and great advances have been made in the endodontic materials and instruments since 1990. The new techniques available now include electric motors with NiTi rotary systems, apex locators, digital radiography sensors, microscopes and ultrasonic units. Nowadays post-graduate programs are designed based on these new instruments and techniques in many countries [20 Slaus G, Bottenberg P. A survey of endodontic practice amongst flemish dentists Int Endod J 2002; 35(9): 759-67.].
New instruments and techniques make the treatment outcome predictable, decrease duration of treatment and treatment sessions and simplify the treatment procedures [6 Molven O, Halse A, Riordan PJ. Prevalence and distribution of root-filled teeth in former dental school patients: follow-up after 10-17 years Int Endod J 1985; 18(4): 247-52.]. Several studies have shown that proper and correct use of instruments along with the use of new instruments, and practitioners' experience, expertise, and knowledge result in a success rate of 90% in endodontic treatment. It is obvious that shortcomings in any of the steps above might result in the failure of endodontic treatment [15 Lee M, Winkler J, Hartwell G, Stewart J, Caine R. Current trends in endodontic practice : emergency treatments and technological armamentarium J Endod 2009; 35(1): 35-9.]. Studies have shown that more than 50% of teeth do not receive proper endodontic treatment and approximately 30-50% of root- filled teeth have radiographic signs of apical periodontitis [16 Peng L, Ye L, Tan H, Zhou X. Outcome of root canal obturation by warm gutta-percha versus cold lateral condensation: a meta-analysis J Endod 2007; 33(2): 106-9.]. Despite the great number of reports about incomplete and improper root canal treatment, few studies have evaluated factors affecting the quality of root canal treatment. A review study by Peciuliene et al. in 2009 showed that there are differences between the daily practice of dental practitioners and the standards promulgated by educational programs offered at universities in different countries. Many dental practitioners may violate the basic principles of endodontic treatment [16 Peng L, Ye L, Tan H, Zhou X. Outcome of root canal obturation by warm gutta-percha versus cold lateral condensation: a meta-analysis J Endod 2007; 33(2): 106-9., 19 Gerland N. Glickman 21th Century Endodontics J Am Dent Assoc 2001; 131(1): 395-465.].
The results of the present study showed that 74.6% of Iranian dental practitioners under study sometimes use new endodontic instruments and techniques and 14.1% never use them. The results showed a significant relationship between gender and usage rate of new endodontic instruments and techniques, with females making greater use of such instruments and techniques. The results of the present study are inconsistent with those of a study carried out by Tay et al. in 2008 in New Zealand, in which males used new techniques, including intraoral cameras, more frequently than females [14 Tay Kl, Wu JM, Yew MS, Thomson WN. The use of newer technologies by New Zealand dentists N Z Dent J 2008; 104(3): 104-8.]. The difference might be attributed to the fact that female dental practitioners take part in continuing and on-the-job training courses more frequently than males, which results in the improvement of their knowledge and increases the frequency of the use of new techniques. The results of the present study showed a significant relationship between the dental practitioners' experience (general practitioner vs. specialist) and the rate of the use of new endodontic techniques. This indicates that there is an increase in the frequency of the use of new endodontic instruments and techniques with an increase in the knowledge and experience of dental practitioners.
The results of the present study showed that 50.1% of respondents used NiTi rotary files for root canal preparation. Reith and Bjorndal in 2005 in Denmark reported a 10% usage rate for NiTi rotary files [10 Bjorndal L, Reit C. The adoption of new endodontic technology amongst Danish general dental practitioners Int Endod 2005; 1(38): 52-8.]. Lee et al. reported that 28% of their subjects used NiTi rotary files in the United States in 2009 [15 Lee M, Winkler J, Hartwell G, Stewart J, Caine R. Current trends in endodontic practice : emergency treatments and technological armamentarium J Endod 2009; 35(1): 35-9.]. Slaus and Bottenberg, in 2002 reported 47% and 50% usage rates for NiTi hand files [20 Slaus G, Bottenberg P. A survey of endodontic practice amongst flemish dentists Int Endod J 2002; 35(9): 759-67.]. Other studies have reported usage rates of 1.6-22% for NiTi rotary files [10 Bjorndal L, Reit C. The adoption of new endodontic technology amongst Danish general dental practitioners Int Endod 2005; 1(38): 52-8., 15 Lee M, Winkler J, Hartwell G, Stewart J, Caine R. Current trends in endodontic practice : emergency treatments and technological armamentarium J Endod 2009; 35(1): 35-9., 17 Peciuliene V, Maneliene R, Drukteinis S, Rimkuviene J. Attitudes of general dental practitioners towards endodontic standards and adaption of new technology: a literature review Stomatologija 2009; 11(1): 11-4., 21 Parashos P, Messer HH. Questionnaire survey on the use of votary nickel-titanium endodontic by Australian dentists Int Endod J 2004; 37(4): 249-59.].
Studies have shown that NiTi files decrease errors and improve treatment outcomes compared to stainless steel hand instruments. It is obvious that use of rotary systems decreases the time needed for canal debridement and as a result decrease the number of treatment sessions [18 Koch M, Eriksson HG, Axelsson S, Tegelberg A. Effect of educational intervention on adoption of new endodontic technology by general dental practitioners: a questionnaire survey Int Endod J 2009; 42(4): 313-21.].
Apex locators were used by 46.3% of the participants in the present study, ranking the second highest usage after NiTi rotary files, which was higher than that reported by some other studies [10 Bjorndal L, Reit C. The adoption of new endodontic technology amongst Danish general dental practitioners Int Endod 2005; 1(38): 52-8.].
In a study carried out by Lee, et al. in 2009, 72.5% of the participants used apex locators, which was the highest usage rate. However, Bjorndal and Reith reported a rate of 15% in 2005 in Denmark, which is attributed to the lack of registered endodontists in Denmark until 2005 and a lack of adequate education for other undergraduate dental students at universities and also the lack of continuing training courses [10 Bjorndal L, Reit C. The adoption of new endodontic technology amongst Danish general dental practitioners Int Endod 2005; 1(38): 52-8., 15 Lee M, Winkler J, Hartwell G, Stewart J, Caine R. Current trends in endodontic practice : emergency treatments and technological armamentarium J Endod 2009; 35(1): 35-9., 18 Koch M, Eriksson HG, Axelsson S, Tegelberg A. Effect of educational intervention on adoption of new endodontic technology by general dental practitioners: a questionnaire survey Int Endod J 2009; 42(4): 313-21.].
The results of the present study showed that only 1% of the participants used surgical microscopes. More than 50% of the dental practitioners under study never used microscopes or lenses or seldom used them, which might be a reason for the fact that 75% of general dental practitioners never or seldom prepare or obturate the fourth root canal of maxillary first molars [16 Peng L, Ye L, Tan H, Zhou X. Outcome of root canal obturation by warm gutta-percha versus cold lateral condensation: a meta-analysis J Endod 2007; 33(2): 106-9.]. The low rate of the use of surgical microscopes in the present study compared to that reported by Lee et al in 2009 in the United States (45.3%) might be attributed to the out-of-date educational programs, lack of endodontic expertise by general dental practitioners and the high cost of such microscopes in Iran. Digital radiographic techniques were used by 30.9% of general dental practitioners and 46% of endodontists under study in the above-mentioned study. Brian and Williamson reported that 19.7% of Indian dental practitioners used digital radiographic techniques in 2007 [9 Brain JN, Williamson GF. Digital radiography in dentistry: a survey on Indian dentists Dentomaxillofac Radiol 2007; 36(1): 8-23.]; the rate was 73% of the general practitioners in the present study. Brady reported a rate of 36% for the use of digital radiographic techniques in 2007 in Hawaii, which is consistent with the results of the present study [22 Brady DT. Digital radiography: a survey of dentists in Hawaii Hawaii Dent J 2007; 38(4): 10, 12-3.]. The high price of the equipment might be a reason why some dental practitioners do not use it. Lee et al. in 2009 reported a rate of 72.5% in the United States, which might be attributed to the higher economic potential of American dental practitioners and the better education they have received [15 Lee M, Winkler J, Hartwell G, Stewart J, Caine R. Current trends in endodontic practice : emergency treatments and technological armamentarium J Endod 2009; 35(1): 35-9.].
Sharland et al reported usage rates of 65% for intraoral cameras, 18% for digital cameras and 12% for intraoral digital video cameras by dental practitioners in 2004 in England [23 Sharland MR, urke FJ, McHugh S, Walmsley AD. Use of dental photography by general dental practitioners in Great Britain Dent Update 2004; 31(4): 199-202.]. Morse et al. in 2010 in England reported usage rates of 59% for digital cameras, 34% for intraoral cameras and 19% for video cameras [24 Morse GA, Haque MS, Sharland MR, Burke FJ. The use of clinical photography by UK general dental practitioners Br Dent J 2010; 208(1)]. In a study by Tay et al. in 2008, intraoral cameras had the highest usage rate with 49.6% [14 Tay Kl, Wu JM, Yew MS, Thomson WN. The use of newer technologies by New Zealand dentists N Z Dent J 2008; 104(3): 104-8.].
The differences between the results of the present study and those of the three above-mentioned studies might be attributed to out-of-date academic instructions, paucity of continuing training courses and the high equipment prices.
The usage rate for ultrasonic units to dislodge posts and cores or endodontic surgeries in the present study was 21.6%, which is much lower than that reported by Lee et al. in 2009 in the United States (97.8%) [15 Lee M, Winkler J, Hartwell G, Stewart J, Caine R. Current trends in endodontic practice : emergency treatments and technological armamentarium J Endod 2009; 35(1): 35-9.]. The low usage rate of this equipment in Iran might be attributed to the lack of adequate training courses and the resultant unfamiliarity of Iranian dental practitioners with the equipment, and the possible complications which arise during the clinical application, including dentinal cracks. Injection and Thermafil canal obturation techniques were used by only 11.5% of respondents in the present study. Bjorndal and Reith in 2005 in Denmark reported that 19% of the dental practitioners under study obturated root canals with heated gutta-percha [10 Bjorndal L, Reit C. The adoption of new endodontic technology amongst Danish general dental practitioners Int Endod 2005; 1(38): 52-8.]. Slaus and Bottenberg reported in 2002 that lateral compaction was the principal technique to obturate root canals by 60% of Finnish dental practitioners [20 Slaus G, Bottenberg P. A survey of endodontic practice amongst flemish dentists Int Endod J 2002; 35(9): 759-67.]. Lee et al. in 2009 reported that lateral compaction was the principal technique used by American dental practitioners [15 Lee M, Winkler J, Hartwell G, Stewart J, Caine R. Current trends in endodontic practice : emergency treatments and technological armamentarium J Endod 2009; 35(1): 35-9.].
The low usage rate of injection and Thermafil obturation techniques in all the above-mentioned studies might be attributed to possible errors during obturation, complexity of the techniques and the need for more equipment compared to the ease and simplicity of the lateral compaction technique. In the same context, it is worth mentioning that in most universities lateral compaction techniques are the principal obturation technique used.
MTA was used by 54.8% of dental practitioners in the present study. MTA was introduced to endodontics during 1990s by Torabinejad [25 Ford TR, Torabinejad M, Abedi HR, Bakland LK, Kariyawasam SP. Using mineral trioxide aggregate as a pulp-capping material J Am Dent Assoc 1996; 127(10): 1491-4.], which revolutionized this branch of dentistry. Peciuliene reported in 2009 that MTA was the most commonly used material by dental practitioners as a root-end filling material [17 Peciuliene V, Maneliene R, Drukteinis S, Rimkuviene J. Attitudes of general dental practitioners towards endodontic standards and adaption of new technology: a literature review Stomatologija 2009; 11(1): 11-4.].
In the present study, ethyl chloride was used for the cold test of pulp vitality by 23.5% of the participants; loops were used for magnification by 15.2%; transillumination was used to diagnose cracks in the tooth structure by 19.3%; electric motors were used for NiTi rotary files by 30.7%; and high-taper gutta-percha was used by 44.7%. The results of the present study cannot be compared with those of other studies since these are no similar studies. The results of the present study show that in some cases the usage rates of new endodontic instruments are less than what is expected.
The results of the present study showed that despite significant advances in the manufacture and design of new endodontic instruments and techniques, the use and acceptance of such instruments and techniques by dental practitioners are not at an acceptable level.
Considering the results of the present study, it is suggested that general dental practitioners be properly and adequately instructed in the new endodontic instruments, materials and techniques and conferences and continuing training programs be designed, offered and held to improve and enhance the scientific and practical capabilities of dental practitioners.
It is also suggested more comprehensive questionnaires with questions about the qualitative and quantitative use of new endodontic materials, instruments and techniques be prepared and used.

Ahead of 2019 General Elections, the youth arm of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Progressives Youth Movement has said the National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole was more interested in fighting personal battle than work for the reelection bid of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The youths claimed that Oshiomhole was insincere about Buhari's re-election. In a statement issued by its Chairman, Usa Abdullahi, and Secretary, Udo Akpandem yesterday, the youth stated that some of Oshiomhole's actions undermined the electoral chances of Buhari.
The statement reads: "We view with concern the threat by Comrade Oshiomhole to report political parties, other than the APC, who are adopting and campaigning for President Buhari ahead of the 2019 elections.
"With his present stance, Comrade Oshiomhole is demonstrating that fighting his personal war against some perceived adversaries is more important to him than the successful election of Buhari for a second term.
The group further called on the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the APC to caution the former Edo State Governor to order before the prosecution of his personal fights undermines the chances of the party in the 2019 elections.


Radiolarians were studied in silt and shale samples from the Upper Jurassic Volgian part of the Slottsmøya Member (Agardhfjellet Formation) of Central Spitsbergen, Svalbard. Identifications could only be made from thin-sections, which hinders precise species level identifications. Nevertheless the preservation is sufficient to reliably identify some taxa and to establish general attributes of the fauna. The overall composition of the fauna is characterised by an abundance of spongy spumellarians and a dominance of parvicingulids among the nassellarians. These attributes have also been noted in samples assignable to the bipolar Boreal and Austral Realms, and the Svalbard fauna shows all the characteristics of the Northern Boreal Province as would be expected from its high palaeolatitude in the Late Jurassic.

Escanaba Success Stories
Highlighting those graduates who exemplify the Escanaba Area Public School District's tradition of excellence
Brukardt, Larry A.
Larry attended Pine Ridge School and then Escanaba Junior and Senior High Schools where he was in track and cross country. He attended Bay De Noc Community College and continued his education while serving 22 years in the United States Air Force.
He served at Kincheloe AFB in Rudyard (now closed), overseas for almost 10 years in Zeiwbrachen, Germany, Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha, NE; and Andrews AFB including Camp David, Maryland, among others. He began employment after retiring from the Air Force with a company which manufactured batteries for the space shuttle program. He then began employment with ARINC (now Booz Hamilton), a contractor working with the United States military and also installing lightening detection systems for numerous airlines.
Larry's expertise and technical skills are a testament to his education, dedication and hard work but have enabled him to travel the world sometimes to the most remote and arduous locations where most people will never go (or be allowed to visit).
Among his installation projects are such locations in Hong Kong, Greenland, the Aleutian Islands, Guam, Australia, Italy, and South Korea. Among the projects and installations of solar telescopes and space weather equipment he has done are those listed below.
The Radio Solar Telescope Network (RSTN) is a network of solar observatories maintained and operated by the U.S.Air Force Weather Agency. The RSTN consists of ground-based observatories in Australia, Italy, Massachusetts, New Mexico and Hawaii.
It became apparent in the early 1960s that certain space weather events might interfere with the stated U.S. objective of a manned mission to the moon. In particular, the sun emits continuous electromagnetic energy and electrically charged particles, which can cause disturbances in the near-Earth environment and disrupt satellite communications.
Foremost among these concerns was the possibility of a geomagnetic storm of solar origin. Metric Type II radio bursts, signatures of coronal shock waves or coronal mass ejections, were known to be commonly associated with solar flares. The United States Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) was thus assigned the task of developing and validating a network of ground-based solar observatories. AFRL established a world-wide network of sweep frequency recorders from which estimates of the shock speed in the corona could be made. This network, called the Radio Solar Telescope Network (RSTN), uses a bandwidth from 25 MHz to 85 MHz. The prototype was assembled and operated at the Sagamore Hill Solar Radio Observatory during the early 1960s. The Sagamore Hill Solar Radio Observatory began operating solar patrols in 1966. The Air Force Geophysics Laboratory (AFGL, currently Phillips Lab) transferred operation of the observatory to Detachment 2 of the 2nd Weather Group of the Air Force Weather Agency in October 1978. However, Phillips Lab continues to work in an advisory capacity to the observatory.
The RSTN is complemented in its real-time capability by a radio telescope operated from 25 MHz (the ionospheric cutoff) to 1800 MHz by the Ionospheric Prediction Service in Culgoora, Australia. The USAF/RSTN system is currently being upgraded in frequency to a bandwidth from 25 MHz to 180 MHz by the Solar Radio Spectrometer (SRS) system at Palehua, Hawaii; San Vito dei Normanni, Italy; Sagamore Hill, Massachusetts; and RAAF Learmonth, Western Australia. The Sagamore Hill site is scheduled to be moved in the future to Holloman AFB, New Mexico.
The mission of the solar observatories of the RSTN is to monitor solar flares, noise storms and other releases of energy from the sun, and when necessary, notify military and civilian personnel concerned with space, weather, power and communications in countries throughout the world. The observatories are operated by detachments of the 2nd Weather Group, as follows:
Det. 1, RAAF Learmonth, WA, Australia
Det. 2, Sagamore Hill Radio Observatory, Hamilton, Massachusetts, USA
Det. 4, Holloman AFB, New Mexico, USA
Det. 5, Palehua, Hawaii, USA
Det. 6, San Vito Solar Observatory, San Vito dei Normanni, Italy

Q: How to reload MVC view using AngularJS? I have ASP.NET application. The code looks as following:
View (List.html):

            Events
            Date
            Price

            {{t.Artist}}
            {{t.ActionDate}}
            {{t.Price}}
            <input type="number" ng-model="t.NewPrice" />

    Ok

AngularJS:
'use strict';

//Routing
var ChangePriceApp = angular.module('ChangePriceApp', ['ngRoute', 'ConcertServices'])
    .config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
        $routeProvider
            .when('/list', { templateUrl: 'partials/ChangePrice/List.html', controller: "ListController" })
            .otherwise({ redirectTo: '/list' });
    }]);

ChangePriceApp.controller("ListController", ["$scope", "ChangePrice", function ($scope, ChangePrice) {

    ChangePrice.get().success(function (ticketGroups) {
        $scope.ticketGroups = ticketGroups;
    });

    $scope.save = function () {
        ChangePrice.save($scope.ticketGroups).success(function () {
            ChangePrice.get().success(function (ticketGroups) {
                $scope.ticketGroups = ticketGroups;
            });
            toastr.success("saved");
        });
    }
}]);

Initially, the view displays data correctly. I change data and click "Ok" to save it. The issue is after I clicked "Ok", all data disappeared. I want to reload the view with updated data.
UPDATE:
The MVC methods:
public class PriceController : ConcertApiController
{
    private readonly ITicketModelService _service;

    public PriceController(ITicketModelService service)
    {
        _service = service;
    }

    [HttpGet]
    public IEnumerable<RevaluationTicketGroup> GetRevaluationList()
    {
        return _service.GetRevaluationList(CurrentUser);
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public void PostRevaluationList(IEnumerable<RevaluationTicketGroup> tickets)
    {
        _service.PostRevaluationList(CurrentUser, tickets);
    }
}

The AngularJS service:
.factory('ChangePrice', function ($http, ErrorUI) {
    return {
        get: function () {
            return $http.get('/RestApi/api/Price/').error(ErrorUI.showApiError);
        },
        save: function (ticketGroups) {
            return $http.post('/RestApi/api/Price/', ticketGroups).error(ErrorUI.showApiError);
        }
    }
})

A: Not sure exactly what the problem is but I re-factored your promise chain in a DEMO to something like below and it seemed to update correctly. Try this;
factory
get: function(){
  return $http
    .get('/RestApi/api/Price/')
    .then(function(response){
      return response.data;
    })
    .catch(ErrorUI.showApiError);
},

save: function (ticketGroups) {
    return $http
        .post('/RestApi/api/Price/', ticketGroups)
        .catch(ErrorUI.showApiError);
}

controller
 ChangePrice
      .get()
      .then(function (ticketGroups) {
          $scope.ticketGroups = ticketGroups;
      });

 $scope.save = function () {

    ChangePrice
      .save($scope.ticketGroups)
      .then(function(){
          toastr.success("saved");
          return ChangePrice.get()
      })
      .then(function(ticketGroups){
          $scope.ticketGroups = ticketGroups;
      });

 }

Teacher unions are constantly in contract negotiations around much of the world these days as contracts are constantly expiring and needing renewal in one place or another. Some of these can drag on and/or get rather unpleasant in nature. We are in the middle of a negotiation situation where I live. Some incorrectly perceive I'm not in a position to comment without being in conflict of interest despite having my individual rights of free speech, but I'm not here to discuss that. I don't want that to be a distraction here, nor this to be the hill they die on. Instead, I'm here to share a familial story on teacher working conditions for perspective and documentation of stories not otherwise preserved beyond oral retelling in the family.
My Mother was a teacher in Viet Nam in the 1960s and 1970s. You might know there was a war there during that time, with the aftermath post-1975 even less pleasant for those in the South who were not generally subject to direct war being waged until the last days, but teaching during a war that lasted decades was still trying, to say the least!
Starting in the fall of 1975, my Mother had to work for a government who put her husband in a labour camp, uncertain if he would ever return alive. She had to work for next to no pay as there was some rationing system for the people. Most of the 50-100 students in the middle school classes she taught didn't have all basic school supplies to even take notes or do homework. Yet, 40 years on, some of my Mother's students throughout her teaching career are still calling her to wish her a happy and prosperous Chinese New Year! Some had kept in touch throughout it all. Others had reconnected after they had stabilized their lives after the war, either in Viet Nam or elsewhere around the world where they had settled after escaping the country. Myself, when I returned to Viet Nam 35 years after I had left, my Grade 1 teacher, Miss Hanh, who had kept in touch with my Mother, requested I make time to see her, which I was absolutely delighted to do because I had thought about doing the same.
In every profession, culture or general group of people, there will be those who stand out for good, and bad reasons. However, the type of teachers my Mother and my Grade 1 teachers were, and the respect they had earned from their students for their impact on the students' lives, are more typical than not in Viet Nam. That's the type of teachers we generally have, and that's the general type of respect we give them, not only in trust to start, but in earnings after they influence our lives.
In today's very different world of different time and place, contract negotiations over all kinds of issues will be what they will be. Perhaps things aren't comparable. However, a little perspective for appreciation and for the record is still worth having.

They're still driving Miss Dot's Impala
Her name was Dorothy Fulgham. But everyone called her Dot. Miss Dot.
Miss Dot with the brown car.
Her grandson, Jean-Paul Etienne, is familiar with the car. His remembers that his grandmother retired a year early when he was a first grader in Mrs. Lantz's class at St. James Episcopal School in Baton Rouge so she could transport him since there was no school bus.
She would pull up out front in her shiny 1972 Chevrolet Impala — painted a color called Honey Bear Brown — and hold a cardboard placard with the number "70" written on it out the window. "All the first graders had a number and when your ride arrived you got sent out," the Bloomington eye doctor recalled. "That's the car she drove me to school in every day. It had air conditioning, something she hadn't had before. I loved my grandma's car."
That's fortunate, since he inherited the black-vinyl-roofed car when Fulgham died 10 years ago. But not much has changed; it remains parked under the carport at his late grandmother's home in Ackerman, Miss. "It still runs ... with a little coaxing," said Patricia Havranek, Fulgham's daughter and Etienne's mother. She lives part of the year in Bloomington and the rest at her mother's Mississippi house.
"It has little rust and has got around 65,000 on the odometer," she said of the car her mother bought new on June 13, 1972. "So many happy memories are associated with it."
When her son visits, he tends to the car. "I tinker with it, check the fluids, drive it around town," he said. "Everybody in the neighborhood, it seems, knows the car. They remember my grandmother driving it."
In 1985, Fulgham bought a new Oldsmobile Delta 88. Instead of trading in her Chevrolet, she kept it for her grandson, who didn't get his driver's license until years later.
Etienne talks about bringing the car to Bloomington and having the motor refurbished, and some rust on the rear wheel wells repaired. The driver's seat upholstery needs to be redone, and he wants to replace the headliner. "It doesn't need much," he said. "For a 40-year-old car, it's in good condition."
It might be a while before he backs Miss Dot's Impala out from the carport where it's been parked four decades and drives it away for good.
"It's a staple there on the carport at the house, and I don't know if I could take it away from there. It's like part of coming home. You turn the corner and you see the brown car there and you know everything is right."
Got a story to tell about a car or truck? Call 812-331-4362, send an e-mail to lane@heraldt.com or a letter to My Favorite Ride, P.O. Box 909, Bloomington, IN 47402.

13 Female Celebrities Every Single Guy Who Grew Up in the 2000s And 2010s Had a Massive Crush On ›
13 Female Celebrities Every Single Guy Who Grew Up in the 2000s And 2010s Had a Massive Crush On
You probably still do
Andrew Padovano
The State University of New York at Stony Brook
The 2000s was a fun decade. The music, clothing, T.V shows, movies, and technology were just some of the good things to experience. We remember comedies, dramas, and action movie, along with programs on the Disney Channel with hilarious advertisements between them. However, the guys who grew up during that time likely developed a crush on the female celebrities from the shows and films during the time. It was difficult to avoid getting star-struck by their talent and beauty. Here are some of those celebrities that had resulted in my (and most likely yours) insanity growing up during the last two decades.
1. Vanessa Hudgens
She was one of the girls that I was attracted to. Her enthusiasm and singing were amazing. With a beautiful smile, bright eyes, and just a great personality overall, it was impossible not to love Vanessa.
2. Selena Gomez
It might of had to do with her crazy sense of humor. Selena was a cute and funny character on Wizards of Waverly Place.
The Star Wars prequels is not as loved compared to the original trilogy. However, Natalie Portman did look amazing as the beautiful and uncompromising Queen Padmé Amidala.
4. Anna Paquin
The first superhero movie that I saw was X-Men. Watching Anna portray Rogue, an attractive yet conflicted mutant made you feel sympathy for her.
5. Sarah Michelle Gellar
The Scooby Doo movies were bizarre and less entertaining compared to the animated series, but Sarah portraying the live action version of Daphne was awesome and reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was great as well. She was one of the my earliest crushes. There's nothing like a strong, beautiful, confident female character who is also the same in real life.
6. Angelina Jolie
Tomb Raider was a fun game, but even though the films based on it could not live up to my expectations, Angelina as Laura Croft made up for it. She is a beautiful actress who is also charitable, and has a nice personality. What's not to love?
7. Megan Fox
She was the reason guys went to the movies to see Transformers and Jennifer's Body despite both films being cash-grabs.
8. Liv Tyler
Anyone who saw The Lord of the Rings franchise will recognize Liv as Arwen the elf. She also played Betty Ross in the Incredible Hulk. Two different characters and performances, but she is very talented actress. You could not help, but have a crush on her. Liv is also the daughter of Steve Tyler of the rock band Aerosmith.
9. Mila Kunis
You will remember her as Jackie from That '70's Show. Her other films include comedies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Bad Moms. She has a funny personality and looks beautiful. Her eyes are hypnotizing. Mila is now married to actor, model, producer, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist Ashton Kutcher who co-starred on That '70's Show.
10. Gabrielle Union
This beautiful actress is best known from the films Bring It On and Bad Boys II. She has an amazing smile and shining eyes. She is a great dancer as well. Union is married to NBA star Dwayne Wade of the Miami Heat.
11. Anne Hathaway
She is another crush of mine who you saw in the movies Les Miserables, The Dark Knight Rises, and Interstellar. Anne is a really talented and beautiful actress. Love her smile. As much I enjoy her more serious roles, her performance in comedies are my favorite.
12. Mandy Moore
For those that watched the films, Chasing Liberty or 47 Meters Down, you can see why Mandy is my favorite actress. She has a gorgeous smile and glistening eyes. She does great acting performances in either comedies or drama films. Mandy also has a beautiful singing voice, which is another reason to love her.
13. Keira Knightley
The Pirates of the Caribbean movies are one of the wildest and most entertaining action/adventure films. Glad that I had the opportunity to see them. Keira is my favorite actress from the films. It has to be the mesmerizing eyes.
I need someone to show that they want me for me, not that they're using me to chase the idea of being in a relationship.
You hear your phone go off. He's asking you to hang out. Then, of course, you get the advice of your friends to decipher this text. Is it just hanging out or is it more than hanging out? You've probably done this at least once in your life or at least seen a tweet where someone posted their screenshots with a potential love interest.
That. Is. The. Problem.
We are almost always never forward with our intentions with others. It shouldn't be a common thing for people to try and decipher texts with the help of friends or, in other cases, with the help from people on the internet. My first date was almost four years ago. Well, what I consider my first date anyways. It definitely had date qualities, but at no point was the word "date" used by anyone.
Even though it has been four years, that doesn't mean I haven't been interested (slightly interested) in anyone since then, but there hasn't really been anyone that has interested me enough to date.
The way people are "dating" nowadays is such a turn off that I think I would need more convincing to date rather than to not date. The casual sex and the lack of transparency we have with our peers are absolutely unappealing. When did asking someone to hangout become the equivalent of "would you like to go on a date?" Now, don't get me wrong. It would be so nice to have someone who supports me, who I can talk to about anything and who can cuddle with me. But I need someone to show that they want me for me, that they're not just using me to chase the idea of being in a relationship. And I don't think I have met someone yet that's truly been interested in me for me.
When I was younger, I was taught to be cautious with any of my actions "if I want to find someone" and whether that was a Hispanic thing or not, I've grown up knowing what I deserved from a future partner. Maybe that's why my standards tend to be higher than societal standards. Maybe that's why when a guy shows interest, more often than not my friends are encouraging me "for the experience" even if I know it won't work out.
If we are driven by "the experience" then that's probably why things do not work out. We are always chasing after the next best thing. And a fear of mine is if I were to get into a relationship would my partner try to seek out the next best thing since that is what we're taught more often than now.
I always joke to friends about how nice it would be to have a boyfriend just to have someone, but my reality is that I am too stubborn to let go of ideals set from years of obsessing over young adult novels and romantic comedies. And I'm okay with that because I deserve that.

Answer the following about things that happened during years when the Detroit Lions won the NFL championship. Note that there are no actual questions about Detroit Lions championships, because they all happened so long ago they're hardly a fair subject for a quiz.
In 1935, the Lions beat the New York Giants 26-7 to win their first NFL title. WHAT MAN would later claim to have had a vision of Jesus on Easter of that year, in which he was anointed by Jesus to become a parent to all humanity?

I've formed quite an affinity for portable headphones, chiefly Denon's MM-400; a highly overlooked headphone with a gorgeous aesthetic and ear-pleasing sound. However, if I had a main complaint, it would be its rather paltry stock cables, both thin, rubbery units with minimal strain relief. The same can be said for many others with even the highly regarded Oppo PM3 shipping with a fairly standard rubber cable. As headphones designed for portable use during commute, they feel poorly equipped to deal with the rigours of daily life. Earmax propose a solution with their 8-core 7N silver plated cable priced at just $30 USD. Despite its asking price, the cable is sleek in design with a well-considered build. You can read more about the cable and purchase it here.
I would like to thank Yan for getting in touch and providing me with Earmax's silver plated cable for the purpose of review. All words are my own and there is no monetary incentive for a positive review. Despite receiving the cable free of cost, I will attempt to be as objective as possible in my evaluation.
The cable isn't the beefiest unit out there, rather assuming a more streamlined form factor suited towards portable use. It has a similar thickness to most stock cables so it doesn't weigh down the attached headphone. Its 8-core braid feels super supple and, as its jacket has a smoother texture, the cable also doesn't catch on clothing and is easily untangled. Moreover, its loosely braided design produces notably reduced microphonic noise compared to traditional cables.
I'm also a fan of the cable's design, its transparent insulation revealing the intertwining copper and silver conductors below. It's an intriguing aesthetic that feels far more complementary on premium portable headphones than the standard black rubber units that come from factory. On a side note, the connectors also have a metal exterior that feels tactile and blends perfectly with the silver trim on the MM-400's.
The cable also impresses in its construction. Obviously, at this price, buyers won't see custom components, but Earmax do terminate the cable with a nicely relieved right angle plug. The plug is also case friendly and low-profile for convenient pocket use. Up top, Earmax offer a variety of connection options, I went with a standard TRS 3.5mm plug in my configuration.
Some portable headphones tend to be picky about their plugs, especially the MM-400 as it has a recessed, oval plug. The slender, offset plug on Earmax's cable is among the few that will fit without issue. The same goes for Oppo's, V-Moda's and most other portable headphones though Bowers and Wilkins use a proprietary 2.5mm connector that is not supported. Of note, though similar in design, it is not identical to the unit included on Astrotec's high-end earbuds.
I spent a few hours AB-ing the Earmax with the stock cable running from the Fiio Q5 (that has a low sub 1ohm output impedance) and felt that changes to sound were apparent. Please note that this isn't a transformative upgrade, but an alteration, the extent of which also depends on the quality of the stock cable. The differences will also vary by source and those running from one of higher output impedance may not notice changes at all. Comments below are in reference to the stock Denon MM-400 cable.
The Earmax cable has a slightly brighter signature that finds great synergy with the warmer MM-400 (and many other portable headphones for that matter). Its presentation is clean, its tone slightly cool. And though the cable doesn't expand the soundstage to a notable degree, it does enhance its properties. In particular, its greater midrange transparency and separation enable a considerably more layered presentation and with it, greater background detail retrieval. These features culminate to produce a noticeably more accurate presentation though, of course, one that doesn't always find perfect synergy with every headphone.
Differences within the low-end aren't night and day, but they're pronounced enough to be immediately noticeable. Bass is slightly cleaned up, primarily on behalf of slight mid-bass attenuation that provides more accurately sized notes and a cleaner tone. Sub-bass also loses a touch of presence, but extension remains impressive, retaining solid impact at the very bottom. As a result of the cable's cleaner presentation, bass is more defined and separated. I also hear slightly faster decay, producing more concise notes and greater dynamics that flatter more monotonous tracks.
The midrange changes were most pronounced to me, mostly due to an increase in vocal clarity and, similar to its low-end, a slight decrease in warmth. Again, I found this to complement the MM-400 very well, as it can sound a little too warm and full-bodied at times. With the Earmax cable, lower-mids are attenuated, enhancing male vocal definition. The cable has little effect on the centre midrange, with similar vocal presence and positioning, though upper mids have slight elevation. Accordingly, the cable nicely balances darker, warmer headphones, providing greater transparency and clarity. However, it also won't be ideal for already brighter, thinner headphones such as the B&O H6.
Highs are also slightly enhanced, most notably with regards to extension. Lower and middle treble have a slight bump in quantity, heightening detail presence and delivering a crisper presentation with greater air. The result is a sound that's not only more detailed, but also clearer and more articulate in its delivery. Finer nuances are more apparent and extension is notably improved, aiding resolution throughout. There are exceptions, portable headphones tend to sound quite intimate by nature of their form factor. This cable doesn't append that but does enhance traits that culminate towards a more coherent, detailed presentation.
I don't often pay much attention to headphone cables, especially ones such as cheap as this. However, colour me impressed! Earmax's cable is not only incredibly ergonomic, it also has a clean, separated and slightly more revealing sound that finds great synergy with the majority of warmer portable headphones. Unfortunately, the cable isn't offered with an in-line remote/mic and some may be sceptical of sound changes. However, at just $30, the cable provides a strong build, a super supple, tangle-resistant 8-core construction and a striking aesthetic that complements premium headphones.
The cable can be purchased from Aliexpress. I am not affiliated with Aliexpress nor the individual seller and receive no earnings from purchases through this link.
Seems like a decent cable indeed. May try this with my pm3 actually nice review mate!
Those Denon's are absolutely gorgeous! They may be the nicest over ear headphones I've seen for a long time.
Cheers, the MM-400 is definitely one of the most over-looked portable headphones!


Before August 2018 runs its course, I thought it appropriate to note that this month marks an even 180 years of the arrival of the first train in Tecumseh.
The Palmyra & Jacksonburg Railroad a line constructed north from a Palmyra connection to the Toledo-Adrian line of Michigan's first railroad, the Erie & Kalamazoo Railroad. The first P&J train arrived in Tecumseh on 09 August 1838. Tecumseh would then serve as the terminus of the line for several years, as the P&J's money ran out and further construction northward was not possible at the time.
Thirty years ago, in 1988, the recently-formed Southern Michigan Railroad Society decided to mark the sesquicentennial of the event in a similarly grand way. Under the organization of then museum director Edward Hodges, the arrival of the first train was recreated, along with a band, speeches by politicians and a banquet (the Tecumseh Masonic Hall substituting for the long-gone Peninsular House).
The SMR train of a locomotive and two cabooses was staged on the south side of Tecumseh, where the VIPs boarded. Following the train, a set of motor cars carried any members of the public interested in participating. The train ran through north through downtown, arriving at the site of the old north depot (by St. Peter's Church) to the sounds of Don Dobrowski's jazz ensemble.
From the back platform of the train, Ed Hodges greeted the attendees and gave a talk about the history of the railroad in Tecumseh and the importance of the occasion. This was followed by speeches by state senator Norm Shinkle and state representative Timothy Walburg.
The speechmaking finished, the gathered crowd re-boarded the train for the short ride north to Brown Street. From there, it was a short walk on the warm summer night to the Masonic Hall. The festive banquet lasted several hours, with music and further speeches, including one from Tecumseh mayor Harold Easton.
The SMR's ex-New York Central caboose carried a banner commemorating the 150 years of rail service in Tecumseh, designed by Steve Slayton.
The band plays as the crowd gathers.
Don Dobrowski's jazz ensemble played on the old railroad loading dock. This area was site of Tecumseh's north railroad station, and the original terminus of the Palmyra & Jacksonburg Railroad.
State senator Norm Shinkle addresses the crowd from the rear of the SMR caboose.
Too bad the group can't even manage to run a train let alone come close to doing these kind of events anymore. Maybe if they spent a little more time on community outreach and were more open about their internal workings they would not chase away so many volunteers.

Need a good reason to outsource your software development project to Latin America? We'll give you 10! Latin America's broad landscape of opportunities for nearshore outsourcing brings with it a multitude of benefits beyond just price and proximity. With over 30 years of experience in the tech space, PSL knows a thing or two about outsourcing and nearshoring software development projects. We know that choosing where to outsource your IT software projects is definitely a decision that requires quite a bit of consideration. That's why we're more than happy to help you spot a few aspects that might've flown under your radar. Here are 10 reasons why Latin America is the place to go when it comes to outsourcing software development.
1. Latin America is worth the extra $$ On average, blended rates in Latin America are 10-20% higher than India or China. But as we've mentioned, the sticker price isn't all it's cracked up to be. If you were to compare the cost of larger, more experienced firms in Asia to those in Latin America, you might find that the rates are actually lower! Besides, the real value becomes more obvious when you consider the next 9 reasons to choose Latin America as your nearshore option.
2. Latin America's value lies in time-zone proximity When you think of IT outsourcing projects, you're probably thinking about agile or scrum methodologies. Agile delivers software faster, in part, because written communication tends to be replaced by conversations about requirements—conversations you can't have with a team that's asleep while you're awake. When does agile work best? When both teams can work in real-time or near real-time, so you need an outsourced team close to your time zone.
3. Latin America is a great cultural fit Culture is a tricky thing to navigate, especially when the difference is significant. As opposed to vendors in Asia, Latin America's culture is much closer to that of the US and enables better collaboration. Workers in Latin America feel confident enough to push back or raise flags when something isn't going well, admit mistakes and address issues before they get out of hand, as well as disagree or propose improvements as they see fit.
4. Latin America means reduced flight times Speaking of culture, in our experience, nothing helps bridge the gap between an in-house and an outsourced team better than on site visits. However, if you have to fly for up to 18 hours, it's not only an incredibly tiring experience but a costly one too! Visiting a software development partner in Latin America can take one day (back and forth) at most and is much more affordable than going halfway around the world.
5. Latin America's creativity-driven culture As neighbors, North and Latin America share a lot in terms of aesthetics, culture and even taste in movies, music and art. These, no doubt, manifest in our GUI and UX designs, and fit in with American products seamlessly. Additionally, countries like Colombia and Argentina are known for their creative prowess in advertisement, game design and other creative endeavors.
6. Latin America is Agile When it comes to fast, cheaper and lower risk software delivery, nothing beats agile. Latin America, more than any other region outside the US, has adopted agile software development which makes it a strong competitor in the IT outsourcing world. Additionally, due to our proximity, Latin American universities have been influenced academically by the US and push agile as the preferred method to develop software.
8. Latin America's significantly lower churn rates The problem with attrition is you face having to recruit and train more people as others move on. This is not only time-consuming but elevates costs every time a team member needs to be replaced. But, because Latin America has a significantly lower employee churn rate (11-16% a year to India's 25-30%), an outsourced project in the region could benefit from greater stability, productivity and savings.
