There are many different reasons that an infection may occur in the regions of the mouth, jaw and face. Most infections are linked to the teeth.
Patients don't always notice an infection around the tooth root or in the area of the periodontium (due to tooth decay or parodontitis) immediately, meaning that pathogens have a good opportunity to spread into the tissue (soft tissue or bones) and later, throughout the entire body. After an accident, a tooth removal or for other reasons, pathogens can also penetrate into the surrounding tissue or into the body via the bloodstream.
To ensure precise analysis, a careful clinical examination is necessary, usually as well as additional measures, such as imaging and taking blood or tissue samples or a smear. Possible risk factors such as a weak immune system or medicines which raise the risk of an infection (bone resorption inhibitors, antibodies, chemotherapeutic drugs) must be surveyed and the extend and the localisation must be calculated with precision.
Depending on the type of infection and its causes, an infection may be surgically cleaned, usually with accompanying medication. When treating an infection it is extremely important to search for the cause and treat this as well.

Former mayoress Di Heffernan passes on
By Ken Bennett Reporter
SAD NEWS: Di and Derek Heffernan
FORMER Oldham mayoress Di Heffernan has passed away almost a year after her husband Derek also died.
Mrs Heffernan Saddleworth also served as the wife of Saddleworth Parish Council chair Derek 1992–93 and 1999–2000.
She was mayoress for Oldham Council alongside her mayor husband in 2016–17.
Parish council vice-chair Pam Byrne said: "Di, along with Derek, was part of many of our lives over the years. Chairman's Lady was a highlight with flea markets, bacon butties, jumble sales. It was sad that her illness began when she was Lady Mayoress – which she loved."
Parish council chair Barbara Beeley added: "We send our condolences to her family and friends. Derek could not have achieved his long public service without her support, and we will all miss her."

Homes Under the Hammer - Season 5
In todays show Martin Roberts & Lucy Alexander visit a picturesque cottage in Newquay that will draw plenty of attention at the auction, but before they buy the bidders might want to take a look round the back. In Stockport there's an office block up for auction which could be great for a growing business, or perhaps someone could turn it into designer flats!

Topic and Summary:
History in general
History of Basketball in Germany
History of Basketball in America
Basketball as entertainment
Some rules

BBL:
Basketball and Media
My topic is Basketball in America and Germany and there I had to write about history, structure and differences in the two countries. As people may know, the American Basketball-team won the Gold medal at the Olympic Games only a few weeks ago while the German team was not even there. The following text will show some interesting information about the development of the game itself and all the facts that are interesting to know about Basketball. As I enroll the economic branch at my school, I also write about "Basketball as entertainment" where I will talk about the money-making side of Basketball and also the importance of media. I really tried to get as much information as possible but for some reason, the people I asked for help were not really interested in helping a pupil with their work and so it was really hard to get the information I needed , I managed to do so nevertheless. For me it was really interesting to do something of that kind and I hope that people will recognize that while reading the following text. Something that is important for me is that the people shouldn't forget about the sport itself. It's really nice that the NBA jumped into the Food Business in November 1999 but the sport itself shouldn't be forgotten because that's the reason why they all are able to make the money they make. And a sport shouldn't only be a moneymaker at all.
illustration not visible in this excerpt
At first I would like to give you an overview on the history of Basketball. To structure it I split the history up in "History in general", "History of Basketball in Germany", and "History of Basketball in America". I shall first turn to the topic "History in general".
Abb. 1: James Naismith
It all started in 1891 when Luther Gulick, chairman of the physical education department at the School for Christian Workers in Springfield Massachusetts, instructed physical education teacher James Naismith to invent a new game. He did so and introduced his class of 18 young men to the game of Basketball to "Entertain them during the winter season."[1] J. Naismith dispatched the janitor to find two boxes to be fastened to the balcony railing where they would serve as goals but the janitor only found two half-bushel peach baskets and they used these instead. In the early days, they played with an ordinary soccer ball. "But the soccer ball and the peach baskets soon gave way to specialized equipment. For example, in the early days the peach baskets were closed at the bottom, meaning that someone had too climb onto a ladder to retrieve the ball after a made basket."[2] James Naismith also outlined 13 original rules according to which the teams of today still are playing. The next important step was in 1934 as Basketball became a part of the Olympic Games. "The first official Olympic Basketball tournament was held at the 1936 Games in Berlin. The 1936 contests were held outdoors in a tennis stadium on courts of clay and sand."[3]
However, it took much longer for Basketball to become a popular sport in Germany. Therefore, in 1896 Ernst Hermann told his father about Basketball because he knew about it from his school in Boston, USA. Ernst Hermann was the sports director of a college and his father, August Hermann, was the leader of a gymnastic club in Braunschweig. The first game was played in Braunschweig, but the game could not assert itself. Hermann Niebuhr, who is called the "Father of German Basketball" today, became familiar with Basketball in 1930 at a U.S.-College in Istanbul.[4] As he returned to Germany in 1933 he introduced Basketball at several universities and sports clubs. And, because of this foreign students started playing Basketball at universities in Munich, Breslau, Gera, Wünsdorf, and Bad Kreuznach. Hermann Niebhur took further action to introduce Basketball in Germany and in 1935 Basketball became an organized game.[5] Unfortunately, due o the Second World War, Basketball disappeared because of the destruction of the country. However, after the war, French and American occupation troops helped to rebuild the game again and brought new life to the game. Because of that great development of German Basketball, the "Deutsche Basketball Bund – DBB" was founded in Düsseldorf on October the 1st in 1949.[6] Therefore, in 1951 the first German team took part at the European Championship. The "1. Bundesliga" and "2. Bundesliga" started in 1975.[7] The next thing which was very important for the development of popularity of Basketball in Germany was the European Championship in 1993. This Championship took place in Germany and the German team won. After this success, Basketball had become the most famous sport among 12 – 19 year olds in 1997 and 1998.[8] The next and simultaneous athletic successes for Germany were the 3rd place at the World-Championship in 2002 and Dirk Nowitzky election as most valuable player of the tournament.[9]
"Professional Basketball in America began in 1896 at a YMCA in Trenton, New Jersey. A dispute between members of the YMCA team and a YMCA official led to the players forming a professional team and playing for money. In 1898 a group of New Jersey newspaper sport editors founded the National Basketball League (NBL) – the first professional league."[10] In May 1901 several schools and colleges formed the "New England Intercollegiate Basketball League". To standardize rules and form regional conferences a committee was formed in 1915. However, an official championship tournament was too difficult to realize because of the tremendous size of the country and various other problems. The first successful national professional league was the American Basketball League (ABL). This league lasted from 1925 to 1931. In 1946 another new professional Basketball league was formed and called the Basketball Association of America (BAA). A further new professional League was founded, taking the same name as the earlier NBL. This league is important because of the additional development. In 1937 the first national collegiate tournament was held in Kansans City.[11] In 1939 a group of coaches organized and sponsored the first "National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)"[12] tournament. In 1946 another new professional Basketball league was formed and called the Basketball Association of America (BAA). Between 1948 and 1950 the NBL-teams joined the BAA and a new three-division league was formed – the National Basketball Association (NBA). In 1950 the NBA reduced its size and established two divisions. In 1967 the American Basketball Association (ABA) was formed and disbanded in 1976 as several teams joined the NBA. In 1970 the Eastern and Western conferences were established. In the late 1970s the NBA experienced difficulties when the game was perceived as dull, the ticket sales decreased, the revenue declined, and television ratings were as low as they had ever been. In March 1979 two players (Larry Bird and Magic Johnson) helped to revive public interest in Basketball again. In the late 1980s more and more male collegiate players left college before graduation to enter the NBA and, due to that, the rookie salary cap was transitive in 1995. In the 1997-98 season NBA owners and players could not agree on rules regarding a salary cap and the NBA owners instituted a player lockout.[13]

There are many misconceptions about depression, and because of this, sometimes people with the best intentions make comments that fall flat. In their eagerness to make a person feel better, they say things that can come off as insulting or make the person feel worse. Here are five common phrases that people living with depression hear and why these comments can backfire.
You never know what is going on in someone's life behind closed doors, or what has happened in their past. It is quite possible that this person's depression stems from a traumatic event. However, this is damaging even if you do know the person well and know all about his/her life because there is not always a situational cause for depression. As a person living with depression, I know very well that logically I should not be depressed; I have a close family, great friends, a roof over my head, etc. Unfortunately, that does not stop a biological illness. These chemical and electrical imbalances in my brain will still be present despite living the "perfect" life.
I wrote a whole article about this backhanded comment that you can read here. Long story short, you shouldn't assume you know what is best for another person's mental and physical health. Even if you have had a bad reaction to an antidepressant and are saying this out of concern, it's important to realize that different medications affect people differently. What works for one person may not work for another. Some people thrive on medication, some people don't. You're not my doctor so please don't presume what is good for me and what isn't.
Again, different things work for different people. The problem with depression is that it strips away your willpower, energy, drive, and interest. In the midst of a depressive episode, I could not do any of these things even if I wanted to. It also implies that depression is a quick fix, and I could "get over it" if I really wanted to take the correct actions.
People tend to confuse depression with sadness. To be fair, depression does usually include sadness, but it also boasts a variety of other symptoms such as fatigue, lack of concentration, suicidal thoughts, irritability, mood swings, apathy, hopelessness, social isolation, and more. Sadness is usually a result of a sad or disappointing experience, whereas depression can creep up any time for any reason (or no reason at all). It contains a whole spectrum of emotions that cannot simply be compared to someone being sad.
If happiness were a choice, wouldn't everyone choose it? Why would anyone prefer to suffer when they could feel good? Of all the people that depression harms, it harms the one suffering the most. Telling someone they could choose happiness is blaming them for an illness they did not choose to have.
Offer a supportive ear. Ask if they want to talk, but do not force the issue. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is just be there with someone. Invite the person to join in fun or distracting activities, even if they continue to turn you down. Offer your support and see what you can do to help, but do not forget to set your own boundaries and take care of yourself as well. You are not responsible for anyone else's mental health but you can be there for loved ones in times of need.

Rock music is a genre of popular music that originated as "rock and roll" in the United States in the 1950s, and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later, particularly in the United Kingdom and the United States. It has its roots in 1940s' and 1950s' rock and roll, itself heavily influenced by rhythm and blues and country music. Rock music also drew strongly on a number of other genres such as blues and folk, and incorporated influences from jazz, classical and other musical sources.

Calderón, M. (2018, November 29). Polymers as nanocarriers for controlled drug delivery [Video file]. In The Biomedical & Life Sciences Collection, Henry Stewart Talks. Retrieved April 20, 2019, from https://hstalks.com/bs/3847/.
Hi, my name is Marcelo Calderon. I'm Professor for Organic and Macromolecular Chemistry at the Freie Universität Berlin in Germany, and I'm an Ikerbasque Research Professor in Polymers for Biomedicine in POLYMAT, San Sebastian, Spain. Today, we'll be talking to you about polymers as nanocarriers for controlled drug delivery.
As an outline, I would like to go over the topics from today's talk. First, we will get started with the definition of polymers and their use as nanocarriers. Later, we will move to discuss the mechanisms that it could be used for drug delivery using polymers, which kind of triggers could we use for controlling the drug delivery at the site of action. Moreover, we will discuss how the different properties of the polymeric nanocarriers could influence their biological fate, and we will finalize our presentation from today by discussing some examples regarding the development of polymer-drug conjugates for anticancer therapy, the development of thermoresponsive nanogels for topical drug delivery, and moreover, the use of polymeric nanoparticles for hair follicle penetration. At the end, we will close the talk with a summary.
So the first question we have for today is what are polymers. So, polymers, as has been defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, are substances compose of macromolecules. They're very large, with high molecular weights ranging from few thousands to as high as millions of gram per mole. The IUPAC defined polymers as molecules of high relative molecular mass. Their structure is essentially comprised by a multiple repetition of units derived mostly by molecules from relatively low molecular mass. There are different kind of polymers. There are natural polymers and synthetic polymers. And, for sure, you know already some of natural polymers. There are proteins, starch, cellulose, and DNA. And from synthetic polymers, for sure, you know some of them that you may use when you go to supermarket. Like, for instance, nylon, polyethylene, and many others. So now, the question we have for today's discussion is how these polymers can be used for controlled drug delivery.


Fianna Fáil TD for Galway East Colm Keaveney has expressed alarm following new figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation which reveals that 670 people were left on trolleys at University Hospital Galway in June – a 59% increase on last year.
Deputy Keaveney said, "The situation in Galway has been allowed to deteriorate over the past three years to a place where it is almost beyond repair. Every month hundreds of people are being treated in crowded emergency rooms and packed wards as the Health Minister sits back without intervening. This is causing much stress and anxiety not only for the patients themselves, who are being deprived of dignity in these exposed areas, but also for the frontline staff charged with their care.
"Patients are not receiving the quality of care that they deserve and I believe that patient care is being compromised as a result of this chronic overcrowding. The fact that the number of patients on trolleys has risen by almost 60% in one year is a damning indictment of Minister Leo Varadkar's inability to deal with the situation. He has failed to engage meaningfully with doctors, nurses and other frontline staff to address the core problems. Despite warnings about the seriousness of the situation, the Minister set up a taskforce and took a backseat, preferring to give a running commentary on the seriousness of the situation without initiating tangible measures to improve the conditions in our Emergency Departments.
"Over the past three years, the number of people on trolleys in University Hospital Galway has jumped from 181 in 2013, to 422 in 2014 and stood at 670 last month. This is completely unacceptable. Services in Galway have not been sufficiently expanded to deal with the increased demand. Units outside of UHG have been shut and have not been replaced, leading to a greater demand on the existing services.
"The status quo cannot be allowed to continue. Patients are being compromised and urgent action is needed. The entire health system is creaking under the strain and Emergency Departments are bearing the brunt of the burden. Additional funding and resources across the health service must be allocated to ease the pressure. Minister Varadkar needs to stop commentating and take immediate action to resolve this crisis".

More on Albon's first DTM win
Thai driver Alex Albon celebrates the first DTM win of his career in Sunday's race eight at the iconic Nürburgring circuit to move up to fourth overall in the title race.
– Following a difficult race seven on Saturday, Sunday's race could not have gone better for Albon as he managed difficult, wet conditions in his #23 Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo 2020 to top qualifying.
– He remained calm during the race, despite numerous incidents and safety car periods, crossing the line after 38 laps with a lead of 4.6 seconds to record his first DTM series career victory and third 2021 trip to the podium following third-place finishes at Zolder and Monza.
Albon, 25, said: "A great day for the team, and for me too! Zolder had already gone well and we took another big step forward here and that after being essentially nowhere on Saturday. We were pondering that for a long time in the evening. We went in the right direction with the set-up today and we were rewarded with the win. I hope that we can take this momentum to the home race at the Red Bull Ring."
– Ahmet Mercan, CEO of Red Bull's premium fashion brand AlphaTauri, added: "First DTM race victory! Congrats to Alex and the team. We are excited about a successful weekend in the 2021 DTM season."
– While Albon's race eight victory on Sunday was a welcome bounce back from race-ending suspension problems on Saturday, teammate Liam Lawson did not enjoy the same turn of luck.
– In race seven, the young New Zealander spun after a rival car made contact, falling way back through the field. He battled his way to the line but missed out on points after finishing 13th.
– Race eight also did not go as planned for Lawson. Starting in midfield, he was involved in multiple incidents that forced him to make extra pit stops and eventually retire with suspension problems.
– Lawson, 19, said: "A frustrating Sunday race to round off a frustrating weekend for us overall. I actually made a very good start today and we timed my pit stop well. When I came back out, I was in a battle with Maximilian Götz. Unfortunately, there was contact and he opened up my rear tyre so I had to come back in and continue on used tyres. I still managed to make a good restart and battled my way forward however there was then some chaos in the chicane during the battle with an Audi."

BIHIMA Round Table Event Focused on Connection Between Hearing Loss and Dementia
Published on April 1, 2019 by The hearing review
A cross-sector summit was held last month, bringing together experts to discuss the connection between hearing loss as a risk factor in developing dementia, as well as highlighting the preventative role of hearing technology. The round table event was convened by the British and Irish Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Association (BIHIMA) on February 28, 2019 at the Royal College of General Practitioners in London, BIHIMA announced.
A series of podcasts of the event's discussion has been created in order to spread greater understanding, available for download here.

The event united audiologists, research scientists, and representatives from the media and charity sectors, to share knowledge and develop strategies to get the crucial message out into the public arena, so the proven link between the two conditions is taken seriously by individuals and policymakers.
There is growing evidence of the connection between the two conditions, including a Lancet study which showed that midlife hearing loss may account for up to 9.1% of preventable dementia cases worldwide and is a modifiable risk factor in developing the condition1. Dr Sergi Costafreda Gonzalez, co-author of the study, attended the Round Table.
There is less research, however, into the mitigating benefits of hearing aids. A University of Manchester study2 showed the rate of age-related cognitive decline is 75% less following the adoption of hearing devices. Co-author of this study, Dr Asri Maharani, shared details of these findings on the day. Further studies are now underway but this remains an undeveloped area, and so last month's forum called publicly for further trials.
The panel also called on policymakers to make this area a funding priority. As new data emerges which proves the impact of hearing aids in preventing dementia, this will provide greater economic argument for making hearing technology more available to those at risk of cognitive decline.
"The better we understand cognitive decline and why hearing aid use helps, the better we can design intervention," said Dr Helene Amieva, author of the 25-year study, "Death, Depression, Disability, and Dementia Associated with Self-reported Hearing Problems."3
The panel also strongly recommended a cross-sector approach, whereby hearing loss is understood as part of a wider discussion which links with both neuroscience and social issues around isolation and wellbeing in the aging population.
"Dementia is a condition which affects 47 million people globally and is fast becoming a social care crisis. There is no time to waste in understanding the role of hearing technology which could stem the tide of the disease, and in educating people about looking after both their hearing and cognitive health," said the BIHIMA Chairman, Paul Surridge.

New type of hearing aid for Buckinghamshire
We are always on the look out for new hearing tech at the Chalfont hearing centre. Today we are posting a review on the newly available Sivantos hearing aids that buck the trend of how hearing aids should look like.
Chalfont hearing news:
Sivantos Launches New Form Factor with Signia Styletto SLIM RIC
Signia Styletto
Why should a hearing aid looklike a hearing aid? That's the question Sivantos engineers asked themselves when designing the new Signia Styletto receiver-in-the-canal (RIC) hearing aid which is being launched today. Styletto is a rechargeable SLIM RIC that features a contemporary design and breaks the mold of traditional behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids by taking advantage of how its lithium-ion battery technology doesn't need to conform to the traditional size and shape of a button cell. The new RIC, which uses the Signia Nx platform with Own Voice Processing (OVP), also comes with an extremely small charger which offers fast charging solutions as well as three full charges on the go.
Bucks hearing tests
"There are people who look at a hearing aid and really don't see it matching their style," says Eric Branda, AuD, director of product management at Sivantos Inc, Piscataway, NJ. "We see all these people wearing large Bluetooth headsets flashing on their ears—huge devices on their ears—and yet [the hearing industry has] struggled to get them to adopt hearing aids, and I think it really comes down to the fact that we keep asking them to wear what looks like a hearing aid."
Styletto uses a slim-pin design instead of the current coin or button-cell design.
Stylistic freedom by thinking outside the button cell. In terms of the history of hearing aids, Branda points out that, going all the back to the original body-worn devices and moving into today's CIC and RIC devices, hearing aid sizes and styles have been dictated by the size and shape of button cell batteries. Although lithium-ion rechargeable batteries have also been built in this coin design, they're not restricted to it—as demonstrated by the new Styletto SLIM RIC. Instead, it departs from the traditional coin cell look by using a slim pin design to create a new form factor.
"With today's battery technology, we can take a new approach," says Branda. "Rather than being discreet by being invisible, we can be discreet and drive acceptance withvisibility, which is a novel approach for people with hearing loss."
Differentiating a hearing aid practice by appealing to different wearers. With its slim, elegant design that harkens to other high-tech product categories, Styletto provides a new option for those who might be put off by the traditional look of a hearing aid. In a US study of 500 mostly new users (92%) with moderate hearing loss, Sivantos found that when participants were given a choice between traditional BTE (Motion) or RIC (Pure) designs, or given the option of no hearing aid at all, more than half (57%) opted for the RIC, 19% selected the BTE, while almost one-quarter (24%) chose to go without a hearing aid. However, when the new Styletto was inserted into the study as an option, 90% of the participants selected a hearing aid: 65% of the study participants selected the SLIM RIC design, while about equal percentages opted for either the BTE and RIC (13% and 12% respectively), and only 10% chose no hearing aid at all.
Buckinghamshire ear wax removal
Similarly, when consumers looked at a simulated practice storefront window with a standard portfolio, only about 16% of the participants chose an offering without Styletto, while 84% of people chose an offering with the new aid.
Branda says that this indicates Styletto provides dispensing professionals with a new product that aligns more closely with patients' style and view of themselves. "It may come down to the fact that people know what a hearing aid looks like," he says. "But, when they see Styletto, they think 'I can see myself wearing that and it doesn't make me look like a hearing aid wearer.'"
Recharging case for Styletto.
Portable rechargeability for the wearer. The Styletto's recharging case is very small, and reportedly offers 19 hours of full-day use with a 3-hour charge. If the wearer forgets to charge the device, they can drop it into the charger for 30 minutes and be able to use the device for 5 hours, says the company. The charger also carries three additional full charges. Thus, if the user starts out in the morning with a full charge and the charger is fully charged, they actually have four days of portable battery capacity available to them, according to Sivantos. The charger also contains an LED indicator to view the status of the charging, as well as an automatic on/off feature which means that the charger can serve as the primary carrying case.
The Styletto recharging/carrying case is exceptionally small and carries 3 full charges.
Nx technology. The Styletto hearing aid uses Signia Nxsignal processing which is designed to emphasize a natural experience using Sivantos' Own Voice Processing (OVP) technology. Signia's ear-to-ear wireless (Ultra HD e2e®) is used in OVP as well as the hearing aid's Narrow Directionality for a more natural sound quality and better speech intelligibility in noise. The wireless technology also enables the device's Twin Phone capabilities, which allows the wearer to place the phone up to the ear, obtain the acoustic signal, and then the hearing aid wirelessly sends the signal to the opposite ear for binaural advantage during the phone call.
The sleek instrument does not have push-buttons or a volume control. For those who want more control, the touchControl®App is a downloadable cell phone application that allows for the changing of volume, programs, and directionality. Similarly, miniPocket™, which resembles a keychain type remote control, allows for volume and program changes.
Styletto is available in all three of the Nx performance levels (7/5/3) and uses a Size M (60/119) receiver in lengths 2 and 3. The device is applicable for people with mild to moderately severe losses (60 dB gain).

Widex Announces New Insights into EVOKE Hearing Aid's AI Function
Hearing aid, hearing test and ear wax removal in Bucks
Widex announced the first data gathered from the WIDEX EVOKE™ hearing aid, which is said to achieve "a new level of Artificial Intelligence (AI)" through machine learning, and is helping to bring new insights into how users are taking control of their sound environment to improve their hearing experience, according to the company.
Denmark-based Widex launched the WIDEX EVOKE hearing aid in April. The hearing aid is reportedly the first to give users the ability to employ real-time machine learning that can solve the tricky hearing problems that users face in their daily lives.
"We launched WIDEX EVOKE with SoundSense technology to put users back in control of the most difficult hearing situations," said Jens Brehm Nielsen, data science & machine learning architect at Widex. "And we can see that EVOKE users have taken the opportunity to do that and, in the process, are helping us understand more about them. That information will help us to make the EVOKE and future hearing aids even better."
Hearing aids in Bucks
SoundSense Learn is an AI system, because AI is said to refer to systems that solve tasks humans are inherently good at—such as driving a car, doing the dishes, etc. SoundSense Learn expands into entirely new applications by helping end users adjust their hearing aids in the moment, reportedly something that no humans can replicate to the same degree of accuracy, according to Widex.
The SoundSense Learn smartphone app is connected to the EVOKE hearing aids and uses machine learning to guide users in optimizing the settings to their exact needs. The app gathers a variety of anonymous data such as how often they turn the volume up or down, which sound presets they use, and how many custom settings they create—including those made with SoundSense Learn.
Ear wax removal Bucks
Tagging of custom settings has proved to be one of the interesting pieces of data generated by EVOKE.
"We found that many people have created a setting and tagged it with, for instance, 'work' which suggests that it is something that our end users need and want," said Nielsen. "And from SoundSense Learn we already have an idea of how they like the settings."
Some hearing aids give users the ability to customize their sound experience by adjusting frequency bands to boost or cut bass, middle or high tones. Adjusting frequencies works well in many situations once the initial settings have been set by a skilled audiologist. However, some situations are so complex that hitting the right combination of adjustments can be difficult.
"Widex hearing aids are well known for the quality of their sound," said Nielsen. "But SoundSense Learn has added an extra layer of quality sound on top of that by using a machine learning algorithm together with reinforcement learning—the two key ingredients in state-of-the art AI algorithm, that enables the algorithm to learn in the moment.
"The algorithm learns an optimal setting every time a user finds the sound to be a little below expectations in a given sound environment. It learns these settings by simply asking the user to compare two settings that are carefully picked by the algorithm. This allows it to learn an optimal setting in a new environment very fast."
By collating and analyzing the anonymous data WIDEX EVOKE will continue to become even smarter as time passes.

The rights and freedoms of Moroccan women: has the 2004 reforms benefited Moroccan women?
21 Booley.pdf (336.7Kb)
Booley, Ashraf
Morocco has maintained its identity and adherence to the Islamic faith since before colonialism and after. As a result of such identity the Moroccan monarchy over the years developed the Code of Personal Status (referred to as the mudawana) which affected only the Muslim population. This type of family law was drawn mostly from Islamic doctrines with little or no participation of women. The mudawana has been criticised by many as being one-side and feminist groups have made numerous calls for a reformed mudawana that addressed the plight of women and to improve their status within the wider community. In 2004, the monarchy decided to reform the mudawana as a result of women's groups pressuring the monarchy to do so. The 2004 reforms has the possibility of enhancing the rights of Moroccan women, for example, a wife is no longer legally obliged to obey her husband, contrary to a widely-held custom which regards obedience as an absolute duty of a Muslim wife, the minimum age for marriage for both parties eighteen years of age, including free and full consent. Polygyny has also been addressed. Although the 2004 version kept the concept of polygyny, there are severe restrictions to curtail this practice, for example, judicial authorisation is required as well as informing the current wife of the prospect. There are certain obstacles that seem to be hampering the full implementation of 2004 reforms which are discussed in this contribution.

Q: $E = mc^2$ derivation thought experiment seems to not have conserved energy There is an interesting derivation of $E=mc^2$ given here which I have updated to use relativistic momentum and relativistic kinetic energy. I find when doing the derivation that it doesn't appear that kinetic energy is conserved.
The setup: Consider an object $A$ moving at a speed $v$ to the right of an object $B$. Let $m_A$ be the mass of $A$, Let $KE_A$ be the kinetic energy of $A$, let $PE_A$ be the potential energy of $A$ and let $P_m$ be the momentum of $A$.
We consider the case of $A$ spontaneously emitting two photons (or generally equivalent pulses of light), one moving vertically up and one vertically down relative to $A$ in a frame where $A$ is at rest.
Frame where $A$ is at rest
$$\begin{matrix} \begin{matrix}
\textbf{Before Emission}
 \\ \text{Potential Energy} = PE_A \\ \text{Horizontal Momentum} = 0 \\ \text{Kinetic Energy} = 0\\ \text{Mass} = m_a  \\ \text{Photon Vertical Momentum} = 0  \\ \text{Photon Horizontal Momentum} = 0  \\ \text{Photon Energy} = 0 \end{matrix}  &   \begin{matrix}
\textbf{After  Emission}
 \\ \text{Potential Energy} = PE_A- E \\ \text{Horizontal Momentum} = 0 \\ \text{Kinetic Energy} = 0\\ \text{Mass} = m_a' \\ \text{Photon Vertical Momentum} = \frac{E}{2c} - \frac{E}{2c}=0  \\ \text{Photon Horizontal Momentum} = 0  \\ \text{Photon Energy} = E \end{matrix} \end{matrix} $$
From here we can verify that the total Potential + Kinetic Energy is the same before and after, and the momentum is the same before and after.
Frame where $A$ is moving at speed $v$ to the right
$$\begin{matrix} \begin{matrix}
\textbf{Before Emission}
 \\ \text{Potential Energy} = PE_A \\
\text{Horizontal Momentum} = \frac{m_Av}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} \\
\text{Kinetic Energy} = \frac{m_Ac^2}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} - m_Ac^2 \\
\text{Mass} = m_a  \\
\text{Photon Vertical Momentum} = 0  \\
\text{Photon Horizontal Momentum} = 0  \\
\text{Photon Energy} = 0 \end{matrix}  &   \begin{matrix}
\textbf{After  Emission}
 \\
\text{Potential Energy} = PE_A- E \\
\text{Horizontal Momentum} = \frac{m_A'v}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}  \\
\text{Kinetic Energy} = \frac{m_A'c^2}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} - m_A'c^2\\
\text{Mass} = m_a'  \\
\text{Photon Vertical Momentum} = \frac{E}{2c} \frac{\sqrt{c^2 - v^2}}{c} - \frac{E}{2c}\frac{\sqrt{c^2 - v^2}}{c} =0  \\
\text{Photon Horizontal Momentum} = \frac{E}{2c} \frac{v}{c}  \\
\text{Photon Energy} = E \end{matrix} \end{matrix} $$
The trick then to derive $E=mc^2$ is to simply observe that in the left hand side before emission the total horizontal momentum (sum of horizontal momentum and photon horizontal momentum) was $ \frac{m_a v}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} $ and on the right hand side it is $\frac{m_a' v}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} + \frac{E}{c} \frac{v}{c} $ and by equating these we find that the change in mass $m_a - m_a'$ depends on the energy $E$ in the famous way.
But I realized with this model there is a problem:
The Question:
If you look at the frame where $A$ is moving at speed $v$. Then one sees that that the sum of Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy + Photon Energy is ONLY conserved if $m_a$ remains the same. Since we have on the left hand side:
$$ PE_A + \frac{m_Ac^2}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} - m_Ac^2 $$
And on the right hand side:
$$ PE_A - E + \frac{m_A'c^2}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}} - m_A'c^2 + E $$
If we assume $m_a$ changes then some energy appears to have disappeared. How do I make this problem go away?

A: To simplify, let me set the $PE_A$ to zero. Which isn't used anyway.
The conservation of energy before is:
$m_A c^2 = m_A'c^2 + 2E$
Lorentz transformations don't change the perpendicular part of the the 4-vector to the boost. Also there is no parallel component in your setup. So the new energy conservation equation after the boost is:
$\gamma m_A c^2 = \gamma m_A'c^2 + 2 \gamma E$
Canceling the $\gamma$ from both sides, you see that the energy is conserved.

SAB's Go Farming initiative is developing small-scale farmers to meet its current and future raw material needs.
and other soft drinks. SABMiller, SAB's parent company, has committed to achieving five sustainability imperatives by 2020. Sourcing raw materials locally will work towards achieving some of those targets, which include growth and development of communities, responsible farming practices and food security for farmers, reduction of carbon emissions, and water security for local communities.
In order to achieve this, one of SAB's key CSI initiatives is the Go Farming project, which aims to develop small-scale farmers growing maize, barley and ultimately sugarcane. The initiative not only serves to uplift the country's small- scale farmers and create much-needed rural employment, but it also reinforces SAB's business imperative of ensuring the reliable supply of high- quality raw materials.
The longest-running scheme is the Taung Project in North West. It's been in operation for more than 15 years, and between 100 and 165 small-scale farmers from the region supply barley and maize to SAB annually. Similarly, SAB's KwaZulu-Natal initiative, which has been running for around five years, currently has 1 500ha of yellow maize being produced, with an output of roughly 7 500 tons annually. Together these two schemes contribute about 5% to SAB's maize and barley requirements. In 2013 SAB launched a new barley initiative in the Free State.
To ensure that Go Farming succeeds, SAB works in conjunction with a number of stakeholders along the supply chain. GrainSA, the Grain Farmer Development Association and the Bureau for Food and Agriculture Policy have all come on board to assist with the supply of seed, raw materials, equipment and financing, as well as offering mentorship to guide and upskill the farmers. The brewer also works closely with government to ensure that small-scale farmers have adequate access to water supply, funding assistance and long-term support.


Just for the record …. the dog wasn't imagined or lied about. How I know this is no-ones business. BUT hey, JC, who needs the facts when scoring a point!
What I don't udnerstand, boo, is why 'Martin' had to delete the whole thread.
When the real Martin was about last year, he explained to me that as long as the first post of a thread wasn't offensive, the thread could remain. He would just delete any threads whihc were offensive.
Well, I read Gerry's opening thread and it was definitely not offensive. The guy obviously felt upset about losing his dog – not a feeling I share, as dogs don't bother me – but it's a feeling I respect. I know people can become very close to their pets, and feel heartbroken when the pet dies.
So why delete the whole thread?
Delete the offensive posts and that's a mark of respect for Gerry's loss.
Delete the whole thread and that's a mark of disrespect for Gerry on something about which he obviously feels very deeply.
Not really a good idea you might end up going home with a dog.


The relentless attacks on ACORN's members, its staff and the policies and positions we promote are unprecedented. An international entertainment conglomerate, disguising itself as a "news" agency (Fox), has expended millions, if not tens of millions of dollars, in their attempt to destroy the largest community organization of Black, Latino, poor and working class people in the country. It is not coincidence that the most recent attacks have been launched just when health care reform is gaining traction. It is clear they've had these tapes for months.

Two incidents cause traffic backup on I-15 South near California border
Katherine Webster
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -- A passenger in a vehicle on Interstate 15 South suffered a medical emergency, causing traffic to back up Friday afternoon near the state line.
A motorist traveling south on I-15 pulled over and called for ambulance when a passenger in their vehicle suffered a medical episode, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.
I-15 was temporarily shut down so a helicopter could land and pick up the passenger to transport them, according to NHP. The helicopter took off at 12:33 p.m.
The California Highway Patrol also had to shut down I-15 South following a collision that occurred about 11:43 a.m.
Southbound I-15 was fully shut down in California when a white SUV rolled off the road, CHP said. One person was transported by air to UMC Trauma; the extent of their injuries was unknown.

Misguided information is hurting franchise marketing when it comes to Local Social.
A public relations firm focusing on the franchise space that has recently positioned its team as being "social media experts" told me that they are advising franchisor clients not to allow local Facebook pages for franchisees. They recommend having just one Facebook page for the brand.
I asked why … because of a concern over consistency? Workflow fears? Worries over customer response?
No. Their answer was that it's easier for the PR firm to measure that way.
I was at a loss for words. Instead of localizing social and growing communities of customers and potential customers, this agency was counseling its clients to make the agency's own work easier.
My only response was that their approach was that it's like losing a contact lens in the bedroom, but looking for it in the kitchen because the light is better.
This is not just uninformed. It's lazy. And, if I were their client already, I could not fire this agency fast enough.

Jack, I totally agree, it's laziness but it's also controlling! Years ago when social media was new, I could almost accept the rationale behind the PR firm. Today, organizations understand the higher logic of social media marketing and the need to give control to the local franchisees by supporting and monitoring their efforts. Shame on the PR firm implementing an antiquated policy and shame on franchisors/franchisees accepting it!

Q: MySQL 5.7 stopped working on mac El Capitan I upgraded the mysql from 5.5 to 5.7. I was working very well.
Today when I turned on my mac the mysql was not working and I can't start.
I tried to start by LaunchDaemon on system preferences but nothing happens and I tried by this command on terminal:
sudo launchctl load -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist

When I run this command I receive this message:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist: service already loaded

but not work...
edit: I have no Idea why, but I restarted my mac and now it's working

A: first unload
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist
(replaced from onload )
then
sudo launchctl load -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist

A: I do not know why, but my system automatically renamed the MySQL directory.
I identified that the usr/local/mysql/ directory was now called usr/local/mysql-5.7.21-macos10.13-x86_64/
What I did that solved the problem, was to create a symbolic link
{sudo ln -s mysql-5.7.21-macos10.13-x86_64 mysql}
I rebooted my mac, and everything worked correctly.
you will probably need to identify the new directory name with the command
{ls usr/local}

People versus the bureaucracy: In the new custodial order, citizenship is being replaced by compliance. By the Z-Man.
"I really want to hassle [the unvaccinated]. And so, we will continue to do it, until the end," said the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, in an interview about his Covid policies. This outraged the French, but with so many outrageous things happening every day, it was lost in the turbulence.
It was, however, an important admission. Macron makes it clear that as far as he is concerned, the unvaccinated are something other than citizens who have rights and protections as conventionally understood. Since noncitizens now have rights in a modern Western society, this means the people Macron is hassling are some new category of person or possibly not even people at all. …
The evolving nature of Western societies:
As the definition of the state has evolved with liberal democracy, the people's relationship to those in charge of their societies is changing along with it.
In the old liberal order, a citizen was someone who could participate in the running of his government, either through voting or holding office. … The foundation of the liberal order was the individual. It was assumed that it was impossible to have a civil society without respecting the individual, as it was individual labor that made society possible. …
The new order is something different. As managerialism has slowly displaced the old liberal idea of government, the administrative state has slowly taken control of the relationship between the citizen and his government. The bureaucrats running the vast administrative state now make the rules and enforce them. The political class is a vestigial adornment to provide the veneer of legitimacy.
Without anyone noticing, a citizen went from being someone born into a country to someone who happens to be in the country. The French ethnicity, for example, stopped being people who are actually French, in the biological sense of it, and became anyone who happens to be in France and is under the control of the French bureaucracy. …
Covid:
Covid has brought this change to the fore, but the pandemic is not a cause; rather, it's an accelerant to trends dating to the last century. …
The panic over the Covid pandemic has been a great leap forward in this transformation of Western societies. There are those under the care, custody, and control of the administrative state and then there are those who are noncompliant. This is more than just a tick on an official form. It is a moral designation. This is why Macron brags about attacking the noncompliant. They deserve to be hassled.
Across the West, governments think it is perfectly normal to deny the noncompliant access to basic services. You see, things like restaurants, gyms, parks, and concert venues operate within the care, custody, and control of the administrative state, so it is perfectly logical to deny these things to the noncompliant. The noncompliant are choosing to otherize themselves, so they have no complaint.
Citizenship is now irrelevant. It's whether you comply with the bureaucracy that determines your access to protection and whether you can participate in society.
This is not just a Covid phenomenon. The vaccine passports and other control mechanisms are part of the evolution of the administrative state. In the United States, people who fall outside of acceptable discourse are denied access to internet services and the financial system. Corporate actors are free to attack ordinary people because those people are outside the new moral order as defined by the administrative state.
In this new civil order, your status is measured by your compliance. Those ticking all of the right boxes get rewarded and protected. The noncompliant are considered outside the care, custody, and control of the administrative state, so they are afforded no protection by the system. …
It is not hard to see where this will lead. Soon, fidelity to Gaia will bring a new set of rules the compliant must accept. The climate deniers will not be allowed to buy produce until they pass a climate-change course. If you used the wrong pronoun in a Zoom meeting, your company can not only fire you, but report you to the appropriate agency, forcing you into a rehabilitation center for the gender-noncompliant.
It sounds ridiculous, but look at what is happening in corporate America. … The corporate class makes medical decisions for its staff, because they are part of the vast administrative state now. That means their employees are under their care, custody, and control. …
The West is now in the midst of a great transformation. The old liberal order of respect for the individual rights of the citizens as things they possess by nature of being alive is now giving way to a custodial order. In the old order, you were responsible for you. In the new managerial order, the administrative state is responsible for you.
Newsflash: It's the people versus the bureaucracy.
The bureaucracy, with control over taxpayer funds and the ability to manufacture infinite money out of thin air, has bought most of the professional and managerial class. It has merged with the left mainstream party in most western countries. It is global, and a surprisingly high number of its leaders attended Klaus Schwab's school and act in unison.
Biggest threat to democracy comes from leftist 'elite'

Announcement: Julia Alvarez Speaks at UT Tonight!
Mar31 by American Studies
Today! Acclaimed novelist, poet, and essayist Julia Alvarez will speak about her life and work with University of Texas at Austin professor, Dr. Jennifer M. Wilks, at 7:00 p.m. in Jessen Auditorium at Homer Rainey Hall. A book signing and reception will follow at the Harry Ransom Center. The event is sponsored by the Texas Institute for Literary and Textual Studies (TILTS) as part of their "Reading Race in Literature and Film" series. It is also sponsored by the Harry Ransom Center, where Alvarez's archive resides.
Here is a little more about Alvarez from TILTS:
Alvarez was born in New York City but raised in the Dominican Republic until she was 10. In 1960 her family was forced to flee the Dominican Republic when it was discovered that her father was involved in a plot to overthrow dictator Rafael Trujillo. Much of Alvarez's work is considered semi-autobiographical, drawing on her experiences as an immigrant and her bicultural identity. Alvarez's unique experiences have shaped and infused her writing—from such award-winning novels as How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents and In the Time of the Butterflies to her poetry.
Seating is limited, so get there early! Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

5 Questions with Affiliate Faculty Member Dr. Coleman Hutchison
Dec2 by American Studies
Happy Monday! Today we bring you an interview with associate professor of English Coleman Hutchison, an affiliate faculty member of the American Studies department.
What has been your favorite project to work on and why?
I have a healthy dose of the presentist in me: I really like whatever I'm working on right now. For instance, I'm really excited about a collection I'm pulling together for Cambridge University Press, the first omnibus history of American Civil War literature. As editor I've been able to draw on a number of disciplines—literary studies, yes, but also, history, cultural studies, musicology, art and art history—and draw together a truly international roster of scholars. Together we'll be addressing a literature that emerges in response to a very specific historical drama and then continues to develop across both the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Needless to say, this is a much more collaborative project than my first book, and it's been hugely gratifying.
Of course intellectual pleasure can also come from unexpected and somewhat awkward sources. My first book offered a literary history of the Confederate States of America. It may have been about the "bad guys," but there was immense pleasure in getting to work with archival material that people either didn't know existed or didn't want to deal with. The extraordinary historical interest and extraordinary political problems of that material were really exciting and daunting and uncomfortable for me. That project pushed me to the edge of my comfort zone, the edge of what I thought I could do as a responsible critic. There was, then, a strange intellectual pleasure in that sort of "recovery work."
How do you see your work fitting in with broader conversations within academia or within society as a whole?
Because I'm a first-generation college student—because this life was never a given for me—it's always been important for me to make my writing and research available to as many people as possible. Part of that has to do with style—with writing in a clear, cogent, and concise way that doesn't involve a lot of jargon. The work may be theoretically rich and complex, but it is, I hope, delivered in a way that's accessible. I think that scholarly knowledge production is increasingly important in a moment of intense information overload. Just because everyone has a blog or a Tumblr or a Twitter feed doesn't mean that the knowledge we produce in the academy is less necessary, less urgent. The glacial pace of academic publishing and knowledge production is in some ways an advantage, because we can take a more considered, more careful argumentative tacks and engage in longer, older, maybe even slower critical conversations. This is not to say that we should return to a closed circuit wherein academics produce work only for other academics, but we should continue to do what we do best, which is produce careful, well-researched critiques, and then put those critiques into new and interesting forms. For instance, I've done a good bit of work for Southern Spaces online, and I love the idea that careful, considered scholarship can engage a broader, open source community.

Rooibos Herbal Tea joins Stash in their pure ingredients quest. Though not as easily found, Rooibos Herbal Tea still has a 4.6 star rating on Amazon and their product looks top notch. What is the key behind this great tea and why do people love it so much?
Rooibos Herbal Tea focuses on providing a great and beneficial tea, without the use of artificial additives. And even though Rooibos is not a rare tea, this brand makes sure their tea stands out from the rest. Their rooibos is actually sourced from South Africa and a lot of their inspiration comes from the area as well. So if you are going to get 100% natural rooibos tea, it is best to get it directly from the source.
Rooibos Herbal Tea specializes in providing the best quality tea possible. For this reason, their Rooibos tea is organically grown in South Africa where the founders live as well. Not to mention that 100% organic rooibos is their only ingredient in their tea. No artificial additives, preservatives, or flavors. Just pure and simple Rooibos.
Rooibos is a highly beneficial, but strong tea. It can relieve headaches, as well as prevent skin disorders, high blood pressure, premature aging, and overactive allergic responses in the body. Many people do not like Rooibos tea for its very strong taste, but others rather enjoy it.
Herbal teas in general have a lot of great benefits to them. Regardless of the type of herbal tea you are drinking, there are somethings that you will be take advantage of. One benefit that you will get from all tea is weight loss. Now, this is not like the tea will burn off fat. Rather, the best herbal tea will remove water retention, so you will visibly look slimmer because you will lose a lot of your excess water weight. Another great thing about herbal tea is that you get a access to a wide variety of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Because herbal tea often features a combination of herbs, you are able to take in a variety of great things that can be highly beneficial to your body. Other common health benefits of the best herbal tea include relaxing the body and mind, aiding in sleep disorders, reducing inflammation, easing various pains, protecting against common diseases like the cold or flu, boosting immune system, regulating the digestive system, and stimulating cognitive function. Rooibos Herbal Tea gives you 100% organic rooibos which has numerous benefits, including helping with headaches and even preventing premature aging.
While no product is perfect, Rooibos Herbal Tea gets incredibly close. However, for the price, I would have liked to see more quantity. For over $10, you are only getting 40 tea bags. There are other brands that offer up to 120 tea bags for $10 more. However, seeing as this tea is sourced and shipped from South Africa, it makes a bit more sense. You are paying for 100% quality over quantity, which is definitely what you want to be doing.
However, because it is a red tea, this is definitely not going to be everyone's cup of tea. Red tea is very strong and can be very bitter as well. While it is highly beneficial for you, it is hard to get used to, unless you enjoy bitter and strong teas. So just be wary of that.
The founders of Rooibos Rocks discovered South Africa on their honeymoon and fell in love with it. Not long after, they decided to move down there from the UK and create a tea company. Their product line is not very expansive, but what they do have available is of the best quality and taste. Not to mention that every thing is 100% organically grown in South Africa.
If you are looking for top quality, 100% organic tea, Rooibos Herbal Tea has got you covered.
Rooibos is highly beneficial. It is mainly used to relieve headaches, but can tackle a number of issues including preventing high blood pressure, and overactive allergic responses.
What's better than a great quality tea? Getting it straight from the source. Rooibos Herbal Tea is grown and shipped from South Africa.
The taste of red tea is extremely strong and bitter, which not everyone may enjoy.
Rooibos Herbal Tea offers the best quality tea possible with 100% organic and fresh ingredients. Actually, ingredient, since there is only Rooibos used here. This stuff will give you exactly what you want it to with its antioxidants and other various benefits. That is, however, if you can get past the taste of it. Red tea is extremely strong and bitter, and most people do not like it very much. But if you are one of those people who love strong and bitter teas, then look no further than Rooibos Herbal Tea.
Overall, Rooibos Herbal Tea is a great brand that you will not regret buying from. Their ingredients are high quality and offer some great health benefits. If you want to try them out for yourself, you can grab a box for $12.50. For more information about the best herbal tea, check out the rest of Green and Growing.
Here are some top questions that I found for people seriously considering buying the Rooibos Herbal Tea South African Red Bush.
Do the tea bags have a dipping string attached? No, just the tea bags.
Can this tea be brewed in a coffee maker? Absolutely!

Funny in between banter ALA Paul Bearer from Sheer Terror or Jimmy G. from Murphy's Law.
16 tracks in all including covers from Breakdown and The 4 Skins.


Very intense ruby red colour. Attractive bouquet with hints of blackberries, raspberries, spices and mint. Good intensity on the palate, with silky tannins greatly balanced with the oak. Great with red meats, games and rich cheeses.

One of many things that is great about spreadsheets is the ability to use formulas to create patterns. This can oftentimes be a huge timesaver from manually typing a long list. For example, if I have first names in one column and last names in another column I can write a formula to put them into the format of last, first.
When you need to construct a formula instead of directly type a formula, use the INDIRECT function. It turns text strings into a cell reference. For example, if you need to have a formula that references a column of data. You may want the same formula for a different column.
For example, if you have lists of data in different columns on Sheet1 and want to bring up a particular column. =Sheet1!A1 would return the value in cell A1 from Sheet1. Dragging the formula would result in the cell reference adjusting.
To adjust for a different column, construct a formula that references the desired column. In the Formula =Sheet1!A1 the reference to column A would need to change to column B, C, etc… Using INDIRECT allows you to utilize cell referencing and concatenation to build the desired formula. If in cell B1 you were to identify the column you wish to reference you would need to concatenate the text string of Sheet1! with cell B1 and the row reference. =INDIRECT("Sheet1!"&B1&"1") would join the text string of the sheet name with the cell that contains the column value and the row value.
Christine Pinto and I went through a use case of the INDIRECT function in the webinar below.
