Q: JavaScript adding text after pageloads in a paragraph HTML(can't change this):
<fieldset>
   <legend>Question 8</legend>

        Create a new "p" element with the text "New Element", and add it to #question-8

    </fieldset>

JavaScript:
var node = document.createElement('p');
node.setAttribute('id', 'q8');

var content = document.createTextNode("New Element");
node.appendChild(content);

console.log(node);

I am trying to get the text New Element to show up in a paragraph with the ID of q8. I must use non-obtrusive JavaScript.  In my console window it shows up correctly, but it does not sow up in my HTML. How do I get it to appear?

A: Something close to this should work.
The code will only run once the whole document is loaded.
It will get the element in question by its id, then append a paragraph element to it, which in turn gets a text node with the desired content appended.
Since appendChild returns the child node we need to get its parentElement to pass to the upper appendChild call.
document.addEventListener('readystatechange', function(event) {
    if (event.target.readyState !== "complete") {
        return;
    }
    document.getElementById('question-8')
    .appendChild(document.createElement('p')
    .appendChild(document.createTextNode('New Element')).parentElement);
}, false);

A: It's probably easiest to do this:
var doc = document, bod = doc.body; // never use document or document.body again
function E(e){
  return doc.getElementById(e); // never use document.getElementById() again
}
E('question-8').innerHTML = "
New Element
";

Of course, you could do this:
var doc = document, bod = doc.body;
function E(e){
  return doc.getElementById(e);
}
function C(t){
  return doc.createElement(t);
}
var q8 = C('p'), txt = doc.createTextNode('New Element'), qest8 = E('question-8');
q8.id = 'q8', q8.appendChild(txt); quest8.appendChild(q8);

Today, United Republic and Republic Report were joined by a passionate group of activists outside Koch Industries' downtown Washington lobbying headquarters to criticize the petrochemical billionaire Koch brothers' attempt to take over the Cato Institute.
Charles Koch, worth $22 billion dollars, is attempting to a hostile takeover of the Cato Institute by appointing a small army of Koch Industries lobbyists to the Cato board, while also filing a lawsuit to seize control of the Institute's shares. That's why we protested at the Koch Industries lobbying office. As we've reported, Koch has an agenda that is anything but libertarian: the petrochemical-political empire has supported anti-gay, pro-war, and crony capitalist politicians, and the company takes advantage of special government carve-outs, everything from military contracts to eminent domain.
The fight to #SaveCato is garnering some bipartisan support. Anti-tax, anti-war, and pro-civil liberties Congressman Jared Polis (D-CO) tweeted yesterday with the SaveCato hashtag.

Dr Daniel J Bell ◉ and Dr Bruno Di Muzio ◈ et al.
Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), in the most recent definition, correspond to a transient episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal ischemia, without acute infarction.
Treatment and prognosis
History and etymology
In the past, TIA was arbitrarily distinguished from stroke by the duration of neurological symptoms of less than 24 hours 1. However, this definition allowed for risk of permanent infarction to be classified as a TIA, and thus the aforementioned tissue-based definition was favored 1. It is well established nowadays that in most TIAs, symptoms resolve in less than one hour but occasionally prolonged episodes may occur 1,2.
The clinical features are variable and dependent on the mechanism (see below):
low-flow TIA: classic transient focal neurological symptoms, either anterior or posterior circulation symptoms, last only minutes, and are often recurrent 3
embolic TIA: similar presentation to a thromboembolic ischemic stroke, localized to a specific arterial territory rather than a general circulation, tend to last hours, and do not tend to be recurrent 3
lacunar or small penetrating vessel TIA: also known as the capsular warning syndrome, these are similar to low-flow TIAs but the transient and recurrent neurological symptoms are those of lacunar stroke syndromes 4
There are three pathophysiological mechanisms:
low-flow TIA: caused by large artery stenosis (e.g. internal carotid artery stenosis) 1,3
embolic TIA: caused by the same etiologies of thromboembolic ischemic stroke 1,3
there is controversy as to whether these should actually be classified as strokes as per the tissue-based definition
lacunar or small penetrating vessel TIA: caused by either stenosis of intracranial arteries (e.g. middle cerebral artery stenosis) or lipohyalinosis of penetrating arteries 1,4
There is uncertainty regarding the radiographic features of TIAs given that there is currently no perfect radiographic corollary to the pathology, especially when even minute regions of infarction could differentiate a stroke from a TIA 1. While CT brain is often unremarkable, there is controversy regarding the significance of regions demonstrating high signal on DWI, a finding present in approximately half of all TIAs 5.
It has been proposed that if a region demonstrates high signal on DWI, and especially if there is no early DWI reversal, then that is a region of infarction and hence should be a stroke and not a TIA 5. However, the confusion lies if a lesion demonstrates early DWI reversal, because it has been found that these such lesions may still have some degree of infarction, and thus the patient may, in fact, have had a stroke instead of a TIA 6,7. Thus, determining which, or determining if all, "DWI-positive" TIAs should, in fact, be classified as strokes remains unclear and a subject of ongoing research 5.
Management is complex, but in short, revolves around determining the etiology of the TIA, risk stratification, and then medical and surgical therapy where appropriate 8.
The term transient ischemic attack was coined by Charles Miller Fisher (1913-2012), a renowned Canadian neurologist, in 1951 9.

SOAR Residency Program lays foundation
for independent research careers
Suzann Pershing, MD, serves as the director of Stanford's ophthalmology residency program, and is implementing the new SOAR curriculum.
The Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford prides itself on training undergraduates, medical students, residents, and clinical fellows in both clinical care and innovative research. While all residents participate in basic science or clinical research during residency, the newly established Stanford Ophthalmology Advanced Research (SOAR) Residency Program allows residents who want to accelerate their academic research program to dedicate an extra year to full-time basic science or translational research. Typically, this year takes place after the internship year and prior to beginning the rest of the three-year ophthalmology residency, and the research continues using elective time during the next three years. Through SOAR, the department sponsors the resident's career growth with funding, mentorship, and other resources according to each trainee's research needs, both during the research year and the following three clinical training years.
"Mentorship is critical, and SOAR residents develop their own research program under the guidance of one or more faculty mentors," Jeffrey Goldberg, MD, PhD, professor and chair of ophthalmology said. "The purpose of the SOAR Residency Program is to help residents transition to independence as clinician-scientists, to carry their research into the future as faculty members, and to position themselves as strong applicants for NIH and other independent funding."
Luciano Custo Greig, MD, PhD, (left) collaborates with Sui Wang, PhD, on research to discover new sources of stem cells hiding in the human retina.
Through the eyes of a SOAR resident
Luciano Custo Greig, MD, PhD, is a current trainee in the SOAR Residency Program. He graduated from Harvard Medical School with a PhD in genetics in 2015 and earned his MD, magna cum laude, in 2017. After completing his internship year, Greig has begun collaborating with Sui Wang, PhD, assistant professor of ophthalmology, and Goldberg to develop new strategies for replacement of retinal ganglion cells that will help patients with glaucoma and other degenerative eye diseases.
Retinal ganglion cells are the neurons that send visual information to the brain through the optic nerve, and degenerate in glaucoma. These same neurons are also compromised in developmental disorders such as optic nerve hypoplasia and are injured in traumatic or ischemic optic neuropathy. Greig aims to use precursor cells present in the adult eye to generate new retinal ganglion cells and replace those that have died from disease. His studies draw on expertise developed during his PhD, which focused on how different types of neurons in the cerebral cortex are generated during development.
Greig has also had the opportunity to interact with and be mentored by other ophthalmology faculty members such as Vinit Mahajan, MD, PhD, associate professor of ophthalmology.
"Dr. Greig is a superstar already, and the opportunity to mentor rising stars like him is one of the reasons I joined the faculty at Stanford," Mahajan said.
Lucie Guo, MD, PhD, finished her thesis research on epigenetics before matching to the SOAR Program.
"It is really fantastic to be in a department where there are many physician-scientists, who are not only excellent role models, but are also generous with their time and excited to help trainees navigate this career path," Greig said.
Like Greig, next year's SOAR resident Lucie Guo, MD, PhD, also plans to pursue an academic career as a physician-scientist. Guo graduated from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 2018, earning her MD with Alpha Omega Alpha honors and a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biophysics. She is currently completing her internship year at the nearby Santa Clara Valley Medical Center.
During her PhD, Guo made advances in the epigenetic mechanisms of centromere inheritance, using tools in biophysics, quantitative cell biology, and gene editing. She plans to apply her basic science skillset to ophthalmology.
"There are new, powerful tools for probing and altering the human genome and epigenome," Guo said, "and the eye is a uniquely ideal space for developing innovative therapies."
"The purpose of the SOAR Residency Program is to help residents transition to independence as clinician-scientists, to carry their research into the future as faculty, and to position themselves as strong applicants for NIH and other independent funding.
"I am excited to join the SOAR Residency Program to build a research foundation to maintain during my clinical training," Guo said. "It's great to be part of a department that invests in our scientific productivity and growth during residency, while still delivering unbelievably strong clinical and surgical training."
Greig said that training programs tailored to physician-scientists with dedicated time for research are common in other specialties but are rare in ophthalmology, which is what drove his decision to come to Stanford.
"Most universities don't offer the unique opportunity that Stanford does," Greig said. "When I started the residency application process, I was worried that I would have to give up science for the next four or more years of clinical training, but as a SOAR resident I can do both. The strong integration of research into the residency program here is rare, and ultimately the goal is to lay a strong foundation for independent research projects that I can carry through into my future career as a physician-scientist."

West-Bruggekwartier is een wijk in het westen van de binnenstad van Brugge. Ze wordt begrensd door de R30, met name de Hoefijzerlaan en Koning Albert I-laan, en de vesten, met name de Smedenvest en de Boeverievest. De wijk wordt van oost naar west doorsneden door de Smedenstraat, die de wijk in twee delen verdeelt. De deelwijk ten zuiden van de Smedenstraat wordt Boeveriewijk genoemd. Helemaal in het oosten van het West-Bruggekwartier, boven op de R30 en de Smedenrei, liggen 't Zand en de Vrijdagmarkt.

Door de aanleg van een spoorlijn rond 1837-1838 werd deze wijk afgescheiden van de rest van de binnenstad. Enkel aan de Smedenstraat was er een overweg. Later verdween deze spoorweg, maar kwam er een drukke weg voor in de plaats. Deze werd tussen 1978 en 1982 in een tunnel onder 't Zand gelegd.

Book Report: You Want to Do What with PHP?
On the Zend Developer Zone today Cal Evans has posted his review of a book by Kevin Schroeder called "You Want to Do What with PHP?", a look at some of the less commonly used PHP functionality in action.
You Want to Do What with PHP?" isn't your usual PHP book. I am guessing that even advanced PHP developers don't have a book like this on their shelves as I've never read one that covers quite this variety of material. Kevin talks about a lot of topics that we politely call "Edge Cases" for PHP developers. [...] This book guides you through building things like your own stream handler, asynchronous operations and my personal favorite, writing Daemons in PHP.
Cal covers both the good and the bad about the book. Among the things lacking are no real "ease into it" introduction and a debugging chapter that feels like an ad for Zend Studio. On the good side, the book provides a enterprise-level developer with a whole new toolset they might not have tried out before.
On his blog today Kevin Schroeder has the latest in a series of excerpts from his book "You Want to Do WHAT with PHP?" - a section of the chapter on daemons.
PHP is a language generally not suited for running daemons. That said, PHP can do it, and in certain circumstances does it sufficiently for the job. In this chapter we look at some of the things you need to know about to build a PHP-based daemon. This excerpt doesn't feature any code, but it does set the foundation for why I think PHP is fine for daemons in some circumstances.
The excerpt is mainly the first part of the chapter that just introduces the idea of daemons including some of the right and wrong uses, using the right tool for the job and how using PHP for a daemon can help with needs in a place where PHP might already be a norm.
On the Zend Developer Zone today there's a new post from Cal Evans about an article from the minds of Ryan Stewart (Adobe) and Kevin Schroeder (Zend) about the powerful combination of Flex and PHP.
These two have gotten together again to show how you can use Flex (Flash, ActionScript, AIR, you know the drill) and Zend Framework (Winner of a BOSSie) Their new article "Flex and PHP" from the most recent issue of Flash & Flex magazine, talks about using the same controllers and actions for returning both HTML and JSON. This concept of programming for multiple destinations is important in a web where your API may be more important than your HTML.
You can get the full article as a PDF from the DevZone site. It's an extended tutorial on getting Flex and PHP to work together via multiple formats (similar to what Kevin presented on his blog recently.
Kevin Schroeder has the latest excerpt from his book posted ("You Want to Do WHAT with PHP?") with a focus on the SPL - Standard PHP Library. He specifically takes a quick look at Iterators.
If you are doing any data processing whatsoever you are using arrays. And most likely you are doing database queries, iterating over the results and doing your algorithm-ing. But what if you have additional functionality that you need to have integrated with your data. You could go the traditional route and copy and paste half your application around or you could build, what we like to call structured applications. SPL allows you to do that.
In the excerpt he mentions the methods that come built in to Iterators like rewind, current and valid. There's also some sample code showing a custom iterator that works with some user data to output the information set in the constructor. You can find out more about this chapter and the rest in Kevin's book.
Kevin Schroeder has another new post to his blog today with an excerpt from his "You Want to Do WHAT with PHP?" book. This new post is a section from the fourth chapter looking at stream handling.
Communication is key to building applications now and for the future. While it is not something that I think that everyone should do, I have not seem many applications that make good use of streams in PHP. Streams can be immensely useful in the right situations, but a lot of developers are not really aware of how streams can be used. [...] While I don't think you will end up basing your application around streams it is a really good idea to know how streams work.
The sample code (and description) talk about changing the properties of a stream on the fly. He shows how, with a fgets loop checking the input, he can catch a command from the already running script and change the compression setting on the currently open stream. The compression changes the stream's data from plain text to a binary format as handled by the streams functionality.
In a new post to his blog Kevin Schroeder talks about a book he's written about some of the stranger things you can do with PHP - You want to do WHAT with PHP?.
You will not find another book on the market like it. Mostly because other PHP authors are not as crazy as I am. [...] In short, if you want a book that goes beyond the practical for the purpose of expanding your mind, this is the book for you. It is not meant to be a "cookbook", pre se. It is meant to, as Einstein put it, stretch your mind so that it does not return to its original shape.
You can see the table of contents [pdf] and a sample chapter [pdf] about working with daemons. Other topics covered include networking/sockets, streams, character encoding, debugging, profiling and good development practices. You can pick up your copy on the MC Press site and have it shipped in early September 2010.


When making the above I just jumped right in, and didn't really think to much about it. But after taking a step back I realized just how HUGE and boxy this ship was. I considered going back and stripping the ship and reshaping it a bit, but that just seemed like more trouble than it was worth. I may finish it at some point and continue with what I started, but right now it is just to big for the vision I have of having a ship in a dock section on a Mordheim table. So after a bit more looking around and seeing a few of the other boats here, I decided to give it another go, but this time scale down the project.
Once again I set out using foam as a base, and worked out the basic shape. I have been seeing a lot of ships made with the planks made from card, over a basic shape, but I think I still prefer the look of wood / balsa so I am thinking I will go that direction. I am mostly happy with the shape I have now, but might go and refine it a bit more. Anyways, here she is as she sits now.
Not using any plans, and just working from various pictures, I think this one has a better ship look to her. Please share your thoughts with me or any suggestions as I stumble further along into ship building.
The shape looks good It seems to be in good proporion, Just one question What are the dimentions of your new ship. What ships sre you useing for inpirstion?
I think it looks great. It would make a good ship for the Treasure Ship Scenario.
Might I suggest to cut some off of the bottom.
You've made the hole ship.
You only need the part that sits above the waterline.
This is a mistake I made on my ships. Mine sit too high on the water.
Cut the bottom layer of foam off, or a little more, and it won't look so big.
A FINE LOOKING SHIP! She has the look of a Spanish or, in War Hammer, Estalian Galleon riding high in the water. If you feel she too high, you just have to paint the water line higher...indicating she's sailing unladened. A VERY PROMISING PIECE OF WORK!
Well I got some more work done on the ship despite a change to my work schedule.
THIS Guide as a rough how to. Rather than use balsa wood, which I felt might have been a bit too fragile I decided to go with using coffee stir sticks. In order to get them to bend, I soaked them in warm water for a few minutes, glued them into place and then pinned them. I have been working small sections at a time and letting it dry overnight before I remove the pins. I initially started out using hotglue, but quickly found that the glue didn't stick so well to the wet wood, and the hotglue cooled to fast against the wet wood making it more of a chore to get the planks to lay flat.
The whole thing is fairly smooth, but I am noticing slight imperfections. This is mostly from the layer of foam under, which I could have spent more time smoothing.
I also cut some brass sleeves for the masts, this will allow me to remove them for easier storage. I will of course be covering over the brass.
Port side, with most of the pins removed.
Shot for scale with some pirates, also gives you an idea of the curve going towards the bow.
Shot running down the port side.
Bending the planks, and trimming them to a nice arch on the bow of the ship I am sort of just doing by feel. Not the pretiest so far, but I think I am getting the hang of it. I had planned to add the keel after I planked, and will be covering / touching some of this up with decoration / anchor / figure head etc.. I am almsot embarrased to show it, but here is a picture. In hindsight, I should have added the keel first as I did with my first ship.
As someone mentioned earlier, she sits a bit high. When creating the base shape I had envisioned two rows of guns (I always think a single row looks a bit silly) one on deck, and one below. I wanted to make sure I had enough room. I will most likely be shaving down a few mm from the bottom now.
The rest of the planking should go fairly quick as it is mostly squarish.
Please let me know what you think, all comments and critques welcome.
Oh my, what a lot of work!
I was lazy when I did my ships; I just used strips of heavy card. When they're all painted up you can't tell what they're made of. Your's should look great.
I'll back up on my post about it being too high. That was directed at the ship in your very first picture. The one you are working on now seems just fine.
The size is about right too.
Check these pictures out for sizing your ship. They might be helpful.
These are all concidered to be small ships by the Warhammer FB "General's Compendium"
And this is my "Medium" ship.
Which sets a little high in the water just like the rest..
I do have one general criticism/preference although about all the vessels I have seen so far for Mordheim/Pirate battles: The hulls all taper inwards towards the waterline (smaller profile than the deck), when in fact the widest part of the hull should still be under the water thus the tapering should be outward.
I know this is probably for boarding and practicality reasons. So nevermind that, just thought I would remark.
Anyway I love the new vessel. I hope at some point you may finish the first "blocky" one as well, I think when you add mouldings, and wooden detailing bit you might be able to hide a lot of the "blockyness".
You're a braver man than moi...I just carve the planking into my ships. I'm sure all the effort will pay dividends. Keep up the GOOD WORK!
A tad bit slow on the updates, been working a different shift at work.
Mostly done with rough planking now, finished the main deck, still have to plank the upper sections. I hope to have all the rough planking done in the next day or so.
Here are a few WIP shot updates.
and a side shot with rough planking.
After the rough planking I will start in on the siding, cannon ports, keel, rudder etc.
Looking good it has come along nicely and cant wait to see it completely board up.
Got some work done on the bow last night, here are some WIP shots.
I fixed a spot on the side that was really bothering me, it blends in better now.
And a shot of the opposite side.
I also covered one of the mast ports, here is a shot of how the front half looks now.
A close up shot of the finished main deck, and mast port. I stll plan on adding some grating.
I cut some dowels to length for the masts, just to get an idea of how she might look, I will most likely make some adjustments. I also plan on having crows nests etc..
So there she is, I think it is coming along nicely, still lots of work yet to do, but the rough frame is more or less complete.
Any comments / suggestions are always welcome.
VERY NICE piece of work! She's a FINE LOOKING ship...you come up with a name yet? I LOVE the way the prow looks.
just cause it's the 19th of september... Yarrr! be turning into a fine vessel me hearty!
Did a bit more work on the front of the ship after looking at various pictures of tall ships, I thought it needed a bit more decoration.
So I took the Gary Chalk plans remembering there was a decorative bit for the front, and stretched the design a bit to fit my needs. Here are a few pictures with the design taped on (one side only), not quite sure how I feel about it. I am considering adding putty or something like that to round it out and make it look a bit more decorative. I might work to come up with my own design, maybe something that fits the ship a bit better. I really can't decide. There is still plenty of room for adding my figure head that I have planned which is good.
Also working with some granny grating to create the desk grating. I will border this with balsa to blend it into the deck, this is just me trying to get a rough idea of the size I want. I think this looks about right. I plan on making it into a 2x3 grid.
VERY CLASSY...you're going to have to spring for a REALLY COOL LOOKING Crew.
Wows! This makes me want to make a pirate ship...If I ever get back to having a little bit of time to spare!
Very cool! The ship's coming along nicely!
Thanks for the comments. Always helpful to keep things moving along.
I have hit a point in the design process where I actually need to think things out a bit. I hope to get some more work done on it this weekend. I am currently working on the railings, I was initially planning to use some decorative beads, but they dont quite look right, so I have to re-think that. I also plan to extend the aft part up a bit so I can put a crest, the ship name and some decorations etc.
I was considering putting a little gallery(I think they call it) type section on the rear, but this ship might be to small for that. I am also playing around with using putty / clay to add some details to the railings and the bow.
She's coming along very nicely!
Got some more work done on the ship.
Glued into place the front bow detail, I am fairly pleased with the way it looks. I still plant to detail it a bit more, but that will be towards the end.
I also raised up the aft section to look more like pictures I have been seeing of tall ships on the web.
thats looks great! amitious and well carried out. look at some reference material on masts to get the staggered look of tall ships. they tend to be in sections adn rather thin.
Good choice with the GoW ships, by the way.
Your pirate ship is looking really nice!
So much intricate woodwork, that will look really nice painted.
I just can't resist showing this shipwreck from UK games day!
Watch out for those reefs!


Thanks to the use of modern technologies and materials, our Orthopaedists will restore quickly and effectively the dental arch.
How's your 'smile zone' looking? A little discoloured perhaps? A little misaligned? More importantly, how's your 'smile zone' feeling? Is it leaving you feeling embarrassed, lacking in confidence or shy? Yes? Then maybe it's time to do something about it.
Time for a porcelain veneer – an ultra-thin ceramic shell that coats and bonds to the front of your teeth. Requiring little or no anaesthesia it offers a quick and simple way to improve the appearance of your front teeth. Now you can easily mask discolorations, brighten teeth, and to learn to smile with confidence again!.
Colour: Precision porcelain veneer can be used to enhance one or more teeth. Cosmetic consistency that can look fresh and confident – commonly front upper teeth.
Shape: Veneers can enliven small, timid looking teeth to give them more vibrancy and expression. Use a thick porcelain veneer to overlay your chipped tooth or teeth and leave them looking in pristine condition once again.
Position: Single and multiple gaps and spaces can be smoothed and slightly misaligned teeth aesthetically repositioned.
Broken a tooth? A tooth weakened through decay, a large filling perhaps? Tooth damaging root canal work? Then fit a crown. A natural looking cap designed to match both the shape and color of your other teeth. Long lasting too. Depending on the health of the underlying tooth your crown should last for many years.
By extension a dental bridge consists of a number artificial teeth that are permanently fixed to healthy supporting teeth by crowns. A comfortable, elegant and attractive way of dealing with missing teeth.
If you're looking for a permanent solution for your missing teeth, Nobel Biocare Implants are a highly effective treatment. The process starts when we fit the titanium, which enters a bonding period that lasts 3-4 months, as it integrates with the bone. In this time, one of our dentists prepares the crown, which will be attached to the implant.
Once the bonding is complete, we insert the implant and the titanium becomes a strong anchor for your new tooth. Your replacement tooth will look and feel completely natural. The placement of an implant will be done under local anaesthetic, and it can take up to ninety minutes.
We have Specialists in Oral Surgery and dental implant dentists. Our highly experienced team of implant dentists and periodontists provide the highest standard of treatment without compromising on a high quality of care.
Nobel Biocare – a short chair time, rapid heal treatment from Sweden.
MIS implants – innovative products and the most comprehensive and efficient array of solutions. Manufactured in Israel.
Even if you lack sufficient bone mass and your dentist has recommended bone-substitution or even discouraged from dental implants we have an option – beautiful Nobel Procera® All-on-4™ technique restorations.
Dentures can correct problems resulting from missing teeth, since dentures replace the structure and functionality of missing teeth.
Whether full or partial, there are many excellent reasons to use dentures. Your appearance, confidence, your health, even eating and speaking can improve. And of course, the more natural they look, the better.
Disadvantages with dentures range from being loose, uncomfortable and unstable; especially when eating or speaking. Denture wearers often report that their speech is impaired and that they cannot taste their food properly.
Fortunately there is a solution using dental implants – with denture implants. Implants can be placed to provide the dentures a stable and comfortable foundation, essentially a 'denture implant' with many positives over standard dentures.
As for the disadvantages of speech impairment and not being unable to taste food properly; this is solved by the implant-supported denture being horse-shoe shaped – so there is no need for a plate!

Q: How can I connect to a wireless network with hidden SSID using the terminal? I'm starting to learn about wireless pentesting with BackTrack, and while learning how to find out the hidden SSID I wondered how could I connect to the wireless network after I discover the SSID. The book I'm studying does not cover that topic, only how to find the SSID.
I tried:
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid "XXXX" channel X
but that doesn't work. Result in screenshot:

The Best New Surf Movie Not About Surfing - National Geographic ADVENTURE
The Best New Surf Movie Not About Surfing
Text by Assistant Editor Ryan Bradley
Photograph courtesy Magnolia Pictures
Surfwise is not a documentary film about surfing. For this reason, it's the best movie about surfing to come out in a good long while. Confused? Fair enough. Let me try to explain.
Surfwise is, in the most classic Tolstoyian sense, a film about an unhappy family. The patriarch, Dorian "Doc" Paskowitz, leaves a successful medical practice in Honolulu, Hawaii in the late 1950s and, with his new bride, embarks on a nomadic surf-bum lifestyle throughout North America—though for the most part he sticks to Southern and Baja California, where the surf is good and the people less uptight. During this long strange trip Doc Paskowitz and Juliette have nine children. The whole gang lives on the beach in a 24-foot camper. They surf all the time, eat natural food, never go to school, and live a utopian, off-the-grid life. Or not. Daddy Doc is a dictator. Juliette is constantly pregnant and overworked. And the nine kids inevitably grow up and realize that life is not a beach.
And then Surfwise gets really interesting. The psychology and family dynamics of all nine grownup Paskowitz kids is explored—deftly, and often devastatingly—by director Doug Pray. Pray's previous work includes the ultra-fresh doc Scratch (it's about DJs), and Surfwise is filled with plenty of fast cuts and fast music. Rare is the full, slow, beautifully ridden wave. But no matter, Pray is genius at getting surfer dudes and dudettes (Doc and Juliette had eight guys and one girl, who is now an SUV-driving homemaker in a Los Angeles suburb—take that hippy parents!) to come off as insightful, smart, self-aware adults struggling with a materialistic world they were not prepared for because dear old Dad was too busy being stoked.
Surfing, specifically the health and spiritual fulfillment one gets from riding a wave, is what has dictated Doc Paskowitz's life; a life that is at turns both beautiful and ugly. When the film was made Doc was 85-years-old and still surfing every day, but was estranged from many of his children. It is Paskowitz's unyielding belief in surfing that rips his family apart. It is also surfing that pulls them back together (or is it the fact that a Paskowitz co-produced the film?).
Surfwise is the first surf film I'm aware of that fully explores what it is to be stoked—a word that attempts to describe the ineffable high of riding a wave. All great surf films get at this in some way. In Bruce Brown's The Endless Summer two buddies try to be perpetually stoked by following the changing seasons southward. One of my favorite recent surf films, Thicker Than Water, takes a similar approach by focusing on the blissful comradeship found among surfers. But Surfwise sets itself apart by exploring the darker aspects of being stoked. Surfers get angry, even violent, protecting waves they claim ownership over. A few films have portrayed surfers as crazy extremists (one of the best is, no joke, Point Break) but Paskowitz is a rare character indeed—thoughtful and opinionated, his philosophy tends to teeter between brilliance and insanity. And best of all, he's for real.
Surfwise opens Friday, May 9 in New York and in select cities thereafter. Check surfwisefilm.com/ for details.


Nothing like a fall Saturday in Tuscaloosa with a hundred thousand of your closest friends enjoying a SEC football game. In fact, in numbers released by the NCAA, Alabama home game attendance ranked fourth in the nation and lead the SEC in accumulated attendance and average attendance per game this season. Here is the breakdown of the SEC schools, their national rank is in parenthesis.


Amidst all that is going on in your life, please look carefully. Jesus is there somewhere. Sometimes He is present in our lives out front and center. But other times He comes in ways that we can miss seeing Him, if we're not looking intentionally. Whatever you do, it is our hope that you don't miss your God moment by not looking for it… or rather, looking for Him.
Please prayerfully read the following description of Jesus' birth (presented in The Word for You Today Devotional) where author Max Lucado explains what we are trying to say here.
"The ground is hard, the hay scarce. Cobwebs cling to the ceiling…Mary looks into the face of her Son. Her Lord. His Majesty. At this point the human being who best understands who God is and what He's doing, is a teenage girl. She remembers the angel's words, 'His kingdom will never end.' Majesty in the midst of the mundane. Honor in the filth of manure and sweat. Divinity entering the world on the floor of a stable. This baby had once overlooked the universe. His robes of eternity were exchanged for the rags keeping Him warm. His golden throne room abandoned in favor of a dirty sheep pen. Worshipping angels replaced with shepherds.
We hope you will look for him and not miss your blessing. With all of the distractions you have surrounding you, be intentional in your search. Sometimes He makes His presence known through a "low whisper" as He did with Elijah. Other times, the Light of the World appears in other ways.
Lastly, God tells us in the Bible in Daniel 2:22, "It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things. He who knows what is in the darkness. And the light dwells with Him." In those "hidden things" —those times when you need His blessing, it is our prayer that God will shine His "Gentle lights" upon you. We hope He will help you to see things closer to the way He does. Please look for them –don't miss what He has for you.
Also due to all your messages I feel that chances are being offered to us again and again and God will never stop calling us. All we have to do is keep looking for Him.
Thanks a lot and I wish you both and your family a wonderful time and good preparation for the new year, wishing that violence as we experienced during the course of this year in the US, Europe and the Middle East will finally stop soonest.

Islands and the Historical Imagination
Having grown up on a small island (Jersey), and lived there for almost half of my life, I have often had occasion to pause and reflect on what it is that makes island life "special" and "different," what it is that gives islands a particular character. My book. Islands in Time (www.mark-patton.co.uk/id1.html) was an attempt to explore these questions through archaeological evidence. The book focussed on a range of issues including the development of human communities in island ecosystems; the establishment of exchange networks linking islands with one another, and with adjacent mainlands; and the flourishing of unique monumental traditions in isolated communities. It was a fascinating exercise, but it always seemed to me that something was missing. That something, I now realise, was the emotional dimension of island life.
With the Autumn Term now finished, I have started on my holiday reading, discovering, in the process, three works of fiction which illuminate this dimension of island societies, rather as Italo Calvino shone a light on urban cultures with Invisible Cities.
From the Mouth of the Whale, by the Icelandic writer, Sjon (Telegram, 2011) is a work of "pure" historical fiction, set in 17th Century Iceland. Accused of sorcery and necromancy, the poet, naturalist and healer, Jónas Palmason, is exiled to the remote Gullbjorn's Island. Ancient myths mingle with beautifully observed evocations of the natural world as Jónas struggles to save his family, dreams of leaving his island prison, and finally takes solace in nature as he comes to see the solitary life of the sandpiper as a metaphor for his own predicament.
Darrell Kastin's The Undiscovered Island (University of Massachussetts Dartmouth, 2009) is set in the Azores, and begins with a mystery set in the present day. Julia Castro, a naturalised American, returns to the islands in search of her father, a local historian who has disappeared without trace. She is soon caught up in a surreal kaleidoscope of past and present; myth and reality; with tales of an enchanted island that appears periodically from the depths of the sea; ghostly sirens emerging from the mist; talking skulls; and threads of ancestry and tradition that bind the people of the present to the murderous intrigues of the royal courts of the 16th and 17th Centuries.
Hy Brasil, by Margaret Elphinstone (Canongate, 2002) is set entirely in the present, and on an imaginary mid-Atlantic island. Sidony Redruth, a young Englishwoman, has been commissioned to write a tourist guide to the island. Her researches uncover a number of mysteries, behind which lie dark truths about the island's recent past and the 20th Century revolution in which the island won its independence. Elphinstone has the political and social intrigues of a small island community spot-on (uncannily so for this reader) but she also draws on the connections between the present and the past, with modern institutions rooted in the Age of Piracy and the island's identity forged in relation to its ever-shifting volcanic landscape.
The themes that unite these three books all relate to the nature of human communities in environments that are geographically (and perhaps also genetically) circumscribed: the ways in which this "boundedness" draws people into a closer relationship with the rocks, plants and animals that make up their miniature universe; and draws the present into a more intimate relationship with both the recent and the more distant past. Myth, likewise, enters into a more enduring compact with reality in a setting with fixed and tightly drawn boundaries.

12: Dr. Anthony Esolen: Who Burned Down the Culture, Why, and Now What? 0
Tony Esolen speaks with the urgency and verbal economy of a prophet. No words are wasted and the point of the conversation is ever before him. The professor of Renaissance English Literature and the Development of Western Civilization
at Providence College in RI, is a translator and a sage of things cultural and authentically Catholic. He's also a connoisseur of classic movies.
Following a strong series of articles and books on marriage, sexual sanity, and Catholic social teaching, his latest book is titled Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture.
And what a wallop it packs.
Our interview used the themes and arguments in the book as jumping off points for a discussion that ranged from the long journey from boy-to-manhood to the origins of the culture crisis, to the evergreen problem of Why Johnny Can't Read. Few writers today combine erudition with humor, insight, and a Christian spirit.

Today Neighbors Across the Country Celebrate National Night Out
Today, communities across the country are gathering at block parties, BBQs, and meetings in order to get to know their neighbors and build stronger and safer communities. Started in 1984 by the National Association of Town Watch, National Night Out* (NNO) is "America's Night Out Against Crime" and is celebrated by 37 million people in 15,000 communities across the country.
Nextdoor is proud to be an official sponsor of NNO in its 30th year.
Neighbors have used Nextdoor to organize their NNO events and to keep their neighborhoods safe all year long. From creating events, to spreading the word about NNO, to reporting suspicious activities in their neighborhoods, Nextdoor members are passionate about keeping their communities connected and safe.
Gathering with neighbors in person is an important step towards building safer communities. Recognizing this, today neighbors across the country are connecting with longtime neighbors, meeting new ones, and spreading tips and information about ways to stay safe in their communities throughout the year. These events are also fantastic opportunities to invite new neighbors to join Nextdoor communities to continue the conversations.
We are excited to be affiliated with the National Association of Town Watch to celebrate this important day, and to help neighbors stay connected and informed throughout the year.
Did your community celebrate NNO this year? If so, what did you do? We would love to hear about your NNO events at stories@nextdoor.com.
The Nextdoor team hopes you have a wonderful day connecting with your neighbors!
*Some communities, including the state of Texas, are sponsoring NNO events on alternate dates. See the official National Night Out site for details.

DC Development News
Poll: Is Fannie Mae's HQ historic designation exciting or ridiculous?
Do you agree with the Historic Preservation Review Board?
By Michelle Goldchain@goldchainam Dec 11, 2017, 2:14pm EST
Rendering via Sekisui House and Roadside Development
Last week, the Historic Preservation Review Board unanimously voted in approval for the Fannie Mae headquarters to be named Washington, D.C.'s newest historic landmark, and not everyone is pleased. When Curbed DC shared the news of the historic designation on Facebook, responses were mixed, varying from "exciting" to "ridiculous" to "Landmark, yes. Historic, no."
The historic designation covers the original colonial revival buildings, located at 3900 Wisconsin Avenue NW, which were designed by architect Leon Chatelain Jr. The design of the structure was inspired by the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Both the Historic Preservation Office and Advisory Neighborhood Commission 3C showed support to the landmark application, but not everyone has been in agreement. Washington City Paper argued that the building "possesses little architectural merit," further describing the property as having "wrong" proportions and "bulky" projecting wings.
D.C. Preservation League Executive Director Rebecca Miller seems to disagree. In a letter sent to the Historic Preservation Review Board on October 30, 2017, Miller wrote, "It is significant ... for its association with the expansion of the insurance and mortgage industries after World War II, and ... for its embodiment of Georgian Revival Style during an era that idealized Colonial Revival aesthetics."
What are your thoughts? Let Curbed DC know by responding to the poll below.
Is Fannie Mae's HQ historic designation exciting or ridiculous?
I have no real feelings about the historic landmark status either way
I have so many feelings about this subject that I'll leave a comment on this article with what I have to say

Do you address your appeal to the same firm who told you your mother' s lfe were only worth 1500. or nothing, The appeals should generate a class action case itself.
The law firm that handled your case would handle any appeal. Or if you prefer, you could retain new counsel.
250 million to 10000 lawsuits equals $250.00 each.
Actually C. Stokes, 3 things.
First, if you don't want a free $250, fell free to send it to us.
Second, you math is off. $250 million divided by 10,000 lawsuits is NOT $250 each, it's $25,000 each.
And third, MDL cases are not disbursed on an even-steven, everyone-gets-an-equal-slice-of-the-pie basis; they are divided based on severity and level of injury, normally using some type of grid or merit point system.
Not all cases are approved, so far I'm hearing from my lawyer very few have been awarded pts.
I was contacted last nov to fill out PPW marked "urgent" and return ASAP. but that was the last I heard.
Yeah, that's usually how the law firms get you to respond and not throw their letter in the trash.
I'd suggest you give them a call and find out where things stand.
my mother was on dialysis from 2011 to 2016 she died of heart failure september 12 2016 she was in and out of the hospital having surgery after surgery her name Carrie Jackson she went on tuesday thursday and saturday to Fesenius in Mccomb Mississippi.
Has any one received any of the 250 million yet?
Nope, my lawyer said they are dealing with appeals from families turned down , each case is scored , I got 100 points towards my mom's case, that's how they determine how much each family is awarded. They are saying all appeals should b wrapped up by fall.
I have a lawsuit pending for this however, since my mother already passed away, they say it would be hard to prove she died from these chemicals. It's awful funny though, she was having heart attack"s repeatedly after 3 years of dialysis treatments. Go figure.

A rocky pursuit for the elusive SUV boulder
Posted on August 26, 2022 by lawncuttingcrew1
The elusive SUV boulder, so named because … well, it looks like an SUV. And it's a boulder.
The rock hunter stalks his quarry with a cool, levelheaded calm. He looks completely at peace. His steps are quick and effortless. In a single, fluid motion, he scampers down a hillside and hunkers alongside a scraggly brush, his eyes squinted against the sun. Beads of sweat dot his forehead. His arms appear chiseled from granite, his leathery skin bronzed. He peels back his dry, cracked lips, sucking in a quick breath and savoring the fresh, outside air.
Then, he lights a cigarette.
At this moment, the rock hunter looks intent and menacing. The stones scattered around him lie petrified by his presence.
But this hunter's not interested in mere pebbles. Too easy. His prey is larger, and bulkier. He's in this game for the sport, and there's no sport in plucking marble-sized rocks from the ground. No, he's seeking out a far bigger prize – one that will bring him fame, awards and money. This hunter is stalking the elusive SUV boulder.
Once thought to be extinct, the SUV boulder inhabits the far reaches of the desolate Great Basin desert. Its numbers are small, and few people have reported seeing them. Many of the purported sightings have later proved to be hoaxes.
But our hunter seeks the real thing. Armed with his trusty rock hammer, which is holstered in his belt, he rises from his spot and strides across the terrain. The heat is brutal and unforgiving. A lone buzzard swoops in circles overhead. The hunter raises an eyebrow, his face steely, and scary. A lizard scurries under a rock, as if frightened by the hunter's sinister gaze.
The flats soon give way to clumps of dense sagebrush. A single, lonely flower sprouts from the dry, ragged earth. It's a bright-red Indian paintbrush, which offers a speckle of color against the swaths of gray brush.
The hunter kicks at the flower, uprooting it. Its roots wave like tendrils in the breeze, grasping for a hold that's no longer there.
The hunter crushes the flower's petals with the heel of his boot, a wicked snigger escaping his parched lips. He should definitely consider chapstick, but he's much too tough for that. Especially as he mercilessly grinds the flower's petals into the sand.
A herd of rocks lies ahead. The hunter can see it. They're way off in the distance – at least a dozen. They're not SUV rocks – SUV rocks don't travel in herds – but they're beautiful specimens of cherry-red jasper. The hunter moves forward, stealthily.
But the rocks are alert. They raise their heads, sensing a predatory presence. The larger ones instinctively encircle the herd. They're all fine, beautiful specimens. And because they spend so much of their time rolling, these stones have gathered no moss.
The hunter pauses. He knows the rocks can sense his presence, and he doesn't want them to scatter. He stands and stares, his palm shielding his eyes. Ever so slowly, he runs his fingers along the handle of his rock hammer.
A moment passes. And another. Then, one of the jasper rocks turns, signaling to the others to start rolling.
And away they go, spreading like startled deer. The hunter unholsters his rock hammer and starts running. He sets his sights on the largest rock – a buck. Though not as valued as the SUV boulder, a chunk of jasper can be broken up and put into a tumbler to create smooth, glittering gems. The rock hunter can then sell them for 25 cents apiece in a Virginia City souvenir shop.
The rocks are rolling faster, barreling toward the edge of a steep canyon. If they can make the canyon, they can escape the hunter. So they roll even faster, tumbling over stones and brush.
The hunter grabs his hammer and throws it like a tomahawk. It grazes the rock's shoulder and stabs into the ground, protruding like a wayward projectile. The jasper rocks sail into the canyon Thelma-and-Louise-style, bouncing down the cliffs and colliding with one another in the narrow valley below. A few are chipped and bruised, but otherwise, they're unhurt – and they've all gotten away.
The hunter has been eluded, and he knows it. He's explored this terrain for years, but he forgot about the valley. And that was his undoing. He should have known that provided with such a convenient escape route, the rocks would get away.
The rock hunter has lost some of his cool, but not his swagger. He pauses to catch his breath, then saunters forward to collect his rock hammer. Its cold, hard steel glimmers in the afternoon sun.
The hunter continues his search for the elusive SUV boulder. The sun hangs high in the sky, scalding the forbidding landscape. The hunter passes the bleached remains of a fellow desert wanderer. Perhaps he was a hapless rock hunter who ended up losing his marbles.
The SUV boulder is out there. The hunter is sure of it. He's spent his whole life pursuing the creature, but he's never laid his eyes on one. It's the only specimen he doesn't have in his yard. The hunter doesn't want to die without first attaining the ultimate trophy.
The winds whisper across the desert, stirring up the dust. The sun sinks lower in the late-afternoon sky. Another day is passing. Another day with no SUV boulder. Another day of wretched, agonizing failure.
The hunter sits upon a rock outcropping to rest. He gulps from his canteen. His boots, trousers, shirt – and even the roof of his mouth – are all coated with a fine, powdery dust. He leans back his head, pulling his hat low to shade his eyes. The heat can drive a man insane; make him do things he might later regret … like forgetting to put rinse aid in the dishwasher so that his glasses come out all spotty.
As twilight approaches, the hunter gets up to leave. His camp is not too far. He'll spend the evening cooking beans and dreaming about that prized SUV boulder.
Then later, in his tent, the flap half-open to let out the farts, the hunter will drift off to a deep and restful sleep. He'll dream about the SUV boulder, that sacred trophy that has eluded him for so long.
And in his dream he'll be wandering, crossing the rugged miles in boots worn thin from time, as he searches for that holy grail of boulders, leaving no stone unturned.

ICCO in the Philippines
Unit 213 Eagle Court Condominium,
#26 Matalino St., Central District, Quezon City
Typhoon Haiyan - ICCO helped the survivors by going back to basics
In the Philippines, ICCO Cooperation promotes sustainable livelihood and justice and dignity for all through pro-poor programs in which we integrate elements of inclusive value chain development, peace building and democratization, and innovative impact investment and financial services. We find market solutions to address underlying causes of poverty, thereby focusing on sustainable business processes and systemic change. Gender and disaster preparedness is mainstreamed through all our programs
ICCO has been in the Philippines since the 1970s. Centered on agrarian reform and rural democratization, our program has made significant contributions in people empowerment and the re-distribution of land to small farmers and indigenous people. This formed the bases of our current programs, in which we integrate elements of inclusive value chain development, peace building and democratization, and innovative impact investment and financial services. We find market solutions to address underlying causes of poverty, thereby focusing on sustainable business processes and systemic change.
In the Philippines, ICCO Cooperation works on establishing inclusive and sustainable value chains where small producers (farmers), businesses, governments, service providers and financial institutions work together, bring in their capital or expertise, and thereby strengthen each other's successes and social impact. Together with our partners we develop value chains where actors cooperate on equal terms and where small producers and private sector businesses engage in mutually beneficial relationships. In this context, we pay special attention to organizing and strengthening producer groups in their engagement in value chains, support the private sector in developing policies and operations that are pro-poor and gender responsive, and conduct lobby and advocacy to influence policies of both government and businesses.
In the Philippines, ICCO Cooperation South East Asia makes use of the following interlinked approaches and models:
Markets for the Poor (M4P)
The M4P approach aims to transform market structures by increasing the participation of the poor, and to make the market more beneficial and sustainable for them.
We focus on empowering small producers and marginalized groups by connecting them to viable and sustainable value chains and its actors, to generate income and improve food security.
Our emphasis has always been on partnerships and cooperation. The PPP-model connects the resources and expertise of various sectors (governments, companies, knowledge institutes, ngo's) when implementing entrepreneurial programs to eradicate poverty.
Business Incubation & Impact Investment
Through our investments programs, ICCO contributes to fair economic development in emerging economies. ICCO provides conditional capital (such as loans, equity and guarantees), by 'blending' financial instruments. Our Business Incubator Program (AgriBusiness Booster) provides capacity and capital to small and medium enterprises and farmer cooperatives, for them to grow and develop into strong and independent enterprises.
Business & Human Rights (BHR)
We work with local communities, private sector actors and governments to achieve a world where the private sector operationalizes its role as an important partner for development. We see the United Nations Guiding Principles (UNGPs) as an important guideline and framework for private sector sustainability.
The Disaster Management program includes disaster response (emergency relief, early recovery and rehabilitation), disaster risk reduction (preparedness and risk management) and developing resilience (DR3). ICCO's unique DR3 approach emphasizes the development of sustainable livelihoods as part of its menu of responses to ensure that disaster survivors do not return to poverty but become sustainable and resilient in the long term.
In the Philippines, the work of ICCO focuses mainly on responsible business and inclusive markets. We implement programs focusing on the (organic and sustainable) value chains of pili nuts, seaweed, muscovado sugar, organic rice, cacao, coffee and coconut.
Typhoon Haiyan, known locally as Yolanda, left a wide swath of devastation on people's livelihoods, access to social services and in public and private infrastructures. A large number of population were displaced. UN agencies and government reports estimate that 14 million people were affected, including 6,500 casualties and 28,000 injured. Hundreds more are missing. One million houses were damaged or totally destroyed, leaving 4 million people displaced across 600 municipalities and 44 provinces in 9 regions of the country.
ICCO helped the survivors by going back to basics. Its Asset Reform and People-Centered Rehabilitation Project helped thousands of farmer survivors engage in cash crop and vegetable production with trainings on intercropping, organic agriculture and marketing. Because it takes a village to recover from disaster, village-level organizing is done for the management of communal farm-related enterprises and for sustaining community participation in the rehabilitation process. Relying on decades of organizing experience, ICCO and its partners mobilized villages as self-help groups in support of advocacy to engage government on short-term and long term rehabilitation issues including asset reform, right to land and right to secure housing.
The impact of climate change combined with acute poverty and extreme inequality exposes the Philippines to high vulnerability to shocks and risks from disasters. In this context, ICCO realizes the importance that its Disaster Management program should not only focus on disaster response (emergency relief, early recovery and rehabilitation), but also and even more on disaster risk reduction and resilience (DR3).
