All-on-4 Dental Implants: Why are they so great?
All-on-4 dental implants have been impacting the dental implant process since the mid to late 1990s. When a patient qualifies for this procedure and is in need of a teeth makeover it really is a very nice procedure to have done. In fact, it can even have you walking out of the procedure with a mouth that isn't swollen and in very little pain, not even needing pain medication.
The all-on-4 procedure is as its name implies. Using only four secure implant locations, the implants are placed in the existing bone. With this procedure, the patient can have the entire set of non-removable teeth placed with little to no pain and no swelling – all in one day. For qualified patients, this really is the way to go.
If you're interested in the all-on-4 dental implant procedure, please don't hesitate to give our office a call to request a complimentary consultation to see if you qualify.
The All-on-4 is available to clients that after the initial consultation have shown to be eligible candidates. The procedure will not be available for those patients that will require bone grafting or another surgical procedure before implants can be placed.

Camp de blat amb xiprer és una sèrie de tres quadres que va pintar Vincent van Gogh l'any 1889. Tots tres quadres van ser pintats en el manicomi de Saint-Paul-de-Mausole, a Saint-Rémy, prop d'Arle, França, on Van Gogh va ser pacient per pròpia voluntat des de 1889 a 1890. Les obres van ser inspirades per les vistes a través de la finsestra de l'asil, de la serra de Les Alpilles.

La primera versió, pintada el mes de juliol, s'exposa al Metropolitan Museum of Art de Nova York. La segona versió del quadre, pintada el setembre del mateix any, està exposada a la National Gallery de Londres. El tercer quadre, que forma part d'una col·lecció privada, també va ser pintat el setembre de 1889.

Descripció
La imatge mostra camps daurats de blat madur, un xiprer provençal fosc que s'aixeca com un obelisc verd a la dreta d'unes oliveres de color verd més clar a una mitjana distància, amb turons i muntanyes darrere, sota un cel blau atzur ple de núvols blancs i grisos.

La primera versió (F717) va ser pintada a finals de juny de 1889, durant una època en què Van Gogh pintava frenèticament, just després de pintar La nit estelada, una època en què estava fascinat pels xiprers. És probable que el quadre hagi estat pintat a l'aire lliure, quan Van Gogh podia abandonar l'asil. Van Gogh va considerar aquest treball com un dels millors que va fer aquell estiu. En una carta al seu germà Theo, escrita el 2 de juliol de 1889, Vincent va parlar d'aquest quadre: "tinc un llenç de xiprers amb unes espigues de blat, unes roselles, un cel blau com un tros de quadres escocesos; aquest últim pintat amb un impasto gruixut com els de Monticelli, i els camps de blat al sol, que representen la calor extrema, també pintats gruixuts".

Van Gogh va patir greus atacs de malalties mentals a finals de juliol i principis d'agost, va poder tornar a pintar a finals d'agost i principis de setembre. Després de fer una edició del quadre en ploma de canya vermella, ara en mans del Museu Van Gogh a Àmsterdam, va copiar la composició dues vegades a l'oli al seu estudi: una d'aproximadament la mateixa mida (F615) i una versió més petita (F743). La versió gran del quadre va ser pintada probablement en una sola sessió, amb alguns petits ajustos posteriors per afegir tocs de groc i marró. Van Gogh va esbossar-ne el disseny amb un dibuix subjacent de carbó vegetal; va aplicar pintura fina sobre els xiprers i el cel, i algunes parts del terra, i impasto gruixut en el primer pla dels camps de blat i els núvols de dalt del quadre. Característicament, va preferir el blanc brillant de l'òxid de zinc al blanc de plom, tot i les seves males qualitats d'assecat, incloint en la seva paleta el blau de cobalt, el groc de crom, el verd veronès i el verd esmeralda, amb tocs de vermelló i blau marí sintètic. La versió a l'aire lliure feta el juliol va ser treballada molt més fortament i es pot considerar un assaig de la versió de setembre pintada a l'estudi. Va regalar la versió d'estudi més petita i menys treballada a la seva mare i la seva germana.

Van Gogh va enviar les altres dues versions més grans (les de juliol i setembre) al seu germà a París, posteriorment, el setembre de 1889. La versió de juliol va ser venguda per la vídua del Theo l'any 1900 a l'artista Émile Schuffenecker. Va passar per les mans del col·Leccionista Alexandre Berthier i per les del marxant d'art Paul Cassirer a París, on es va exhibir i fotografia per primer cop a la Galerie Eugène Druet, el novembre de 1909. Es va vendre al banquer Franz von Mendelssohn (1865–1935) a Berlín el 1910 i va romandre a la família Mendelssohn a Alemanya i Suïssa fins que va ser venut a l'industrial Emil Bührle a Zurich el 1952. El seu fill, Dieter Bührle, va vendre el quadre al Metropolitan Museum of Art de Nova York per 57 milions de dòlars, utilitzant els fons donats per l'editorial, diplomàtic i publicista Walter Annenberg.

La National Gallery de Londres té una versió similar pintada per Van Gogh a l'estudi el setembre de 1889, comprada a través del Fons Courtauld el 1923. Està sense folre, i mai no va ser ni envernissada ni encerada. La tercera versió, més petita, és en mans d'una col·lecció privada (venguda a través de la casa d'apostes Sotheby's, a Londres el 1970, i posteriorment als Estats Units el 1987).

For the critics of American-style capitalism in the Third World, the way that America has responded to the current economic crisis has smacked of double standard. During the East Asian crisis, just a decade ago, America and the IMF demanded that the affected countries reduce their government's deficits by cutting back expenditures-- even if, as in Thailand, this resulted in a resurgence of the AIDS epidemic, or even if, as in Indonesia, this meant curtailing food subsidies for the starving, or even if, as in Pakistan, the shortage of public schools led parents to send their children to madrassas, where they would become indoctrinated in Islamic fundamentalism. America and the IMF forced countries to raise interest rates, in some cases (such as Indonesia) to more than 50 percent. They lectured Indonesia about being tough on its banks and demanded that the government not bail them out. What a terrible precedent this would set, they said, and what a terrible intervention into the smooth-running mechanisms of the free market.

Banco Santander recaptured the Best Bank for Latin American currencies award this year, making it the third time that the Spanish banking group will take home the coveted title in the last four years.
"We are very much a Latin American-led and deeply customer-focused business, so this is a very natural process for us to want to be involved in," says Andrew Brown, global head of foreign exchange at Santander Corporate & Investment Banking.
LatAm is one of Santander's main growth engines, with the region contributing some 51% of the group's total income. Santander's significant exposure to LatAm is evident in its more than 6,000 branches in the region, serving more than 44 million customers. The bank's top markets include Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico.
"A significant competitive strength for the bank is our strong local presence, from Mexico down through South America, and I am very grateful to all our clients for voting Santander as the Best Bank for Latin American Currencies. We have a large number of very committed professionals throughout the business and it is excellent when those efforts are recognised," says Brown.
Still, operating in those markets this year was not easy. Growth in the region has been uneven and some currencies experienced a massive rout against the greenback this year. The Argentine peso, for example, lost approximately half of its value against the dollar, while the Brazilian real hit a 31-month low in August, ahead of the country's October election. The real has since recovered nearly 14% of its lost ground against the greenback.
Much of the rout in LatAm currencies has been down to central banks in the US, UK and Europe moving away from post-crisis monetary policies, and gradually normalising financial conditions in their respective economies.
This, however, presents liquidity challenges in emerging market and Latin American currencies as investors pile into the dollar and other developed units. That Santander has a European presence and a strong footing in the LatAm region has its advantages: the bank can benefit from regions that are, in the interim, relatively stronger than LatAm, and investors are able to benefit from both the global and local market expertise.
"Whilst LatAm is clearly an area where we feel very comfortable, I am keen to build on our existing G10 capabilities through Hong Kong, Madrid and New York," says Brown.
"We also have an excellent business in Poland, and access to the CNY/CNH markets through Shanghai and Hong Kong, respectively. FX remains a very logical asset class for large commercial banks and here, at Santander, we are optimistic for the asset class going forward," he adds.


A surfer was seriously injured by a great white shark on Monday in Australia, but the nearby Margaret River Pro tournament continued without mishap.
Crystalline water and big, gorgeous waves attract surfers to the mouth of Margaret River in southwest Australia.
Less clear is what has recently drawn at least one large, aggressive shark to this coastline. It might be the whale carcass rotting on one of the surf breaks. Maybe it's the surfers themselves — several of whom, in any case, have refused to let a little shark mauling spoil their fun.
Attacks are a known risk on these beaches. A relatively small shark bit off a chunk of someone's foot in January. A Margaret River resident wasn't so lucky in 2013, when he became the area's third shark fatality in a decade.
Last week, a group of American surfers were preparing for this month's Margaret River Pro tournament when they saw a splash in the water. They flew a drone overhead, and subsequently narrated an Instagram video of two large, finned shadows prowling the shoreline.
"He's in the friggin' murk!" one man said.
"That thing looks pretty big," said another.
Sharks notwithstanding, the event started as planned last week. On Monday morning, shortly before the start of round two in the women's event, a tournament crew worker was surfing a few miles north of Margaret River — near Gracetown, where the man in 2013 had been killed.
The man was still visible from the beach when what one witness described as a great white shark knocked him off his board, and he started to scream.
Mikel Basanies told 9 News it attacked the man three times over the next 20 seconds, even as he tried to beat it off.
Jovic saw the crew worker, identified as 37-year-old Alejandro Travaglini, finally getting away by "miraculously bodysurfing into a little wave." Others swam over and helped him paddle to shore, where his legs, both bleeding, were tied off with ropes, and he was carried inland on his own surfboard.
Travaglini was then loaded into a helicopter, which The Associated Press said flew him 160 miles to Perth, where he reported to be in stable condition after surgery.
As word of the attack made its way to Margaret River, officials delayed the day's event for about an hour to deploy "additional shark-spotting drones and Jet Skis," the AP reported.
But it was a very clear day, a tournament official explained, any sharks would be easy to spot. So the tournament went on.
No sharks troubled the competition on Monday, even as authorities closed the break where Travaglini had been mauled, and several others.
A 13-foot shark has been spotted after the attack, the AP reported. A whale carcass had also been found along one beach, according to the ABC, which could be drawing the sharks.
And still, a man wanted to surf.
By afternoon a sign had been posted at the entrance to Lefthanders surf break, about half a mile from the morning's attack. The sign depicted a man swimming, a shark, and a large red X. Jason Longrass, 41, would later tell reporters that he failed to see it.
So he went into the water — to enjoy his own private surf break.
"I was having a ball," Longrass said. Then he spotted a large shadow in the water, much like the one Travaglini had spotted that morning, and the two the Americans had seen with their drone the week before.
"It was beelining straight at me," Longrass said. He slapped the water, but the shark only sped up.
Longrass held up his surf board to the camera. A semicircle of tooth marks, as large as his head, were imprinted on either side.
Unlike Travaglini, who left Margaret River on a stretcher, Longrass' wounds were minor. He drove himself to the hospital that afternoon, the AP reported.
He's not competing in the tournament, which is scheduled to continue throughout the week, by the way.

San Francisco Giants Rumors: Madison Bumgarner injury update provided
Madison Bumgarner celebrates. - [Fox / YouTube screencap]
Fantasy baseball owners and Giants fans got some updated news on Bumgarner's broken hand.

Rumors on Giants' Madison Bumgarner - Video
San Francisco Giants rumors bring some good news for fans of the team. With the frustrating injury reports about Johnny Cueto, this is a welcome change for Giants fans. Cueto is heading to the 10-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation, as revealed in a report by the team. The team also revealed an injury update on Madison Bumgarner, which could come as great news to Fantasy Baseball owners.
Bumgarner has been cleared to begin throwing. This is a big step in his recovery from a fractured pitching hand he suffered in March. A recent visit with specialist Donald Sheridan went well, and Giants manager Bruce Bochy told ESPN that Bumgarner will start throwing this weekend. He will start by throwing from flat ground and increase his arm strength until he is comfortable moving to the mound.
The timetable for Madison Bumgarner's return
The plan will be for Madison Bumgarner to start with games of catch before advancing to bullpen sessions. If he continues to find comfort after that, the Giants will move him up to live batting practice, simulated action, and then eventually a minor league rehab assignment. It means there are going to be many more San Francisco Giants rumors before he finally gets cleared from the disabled list.
So what does all of this mean? It means that if Bumgarner can stay on schedule, he should be able to return to the starting rotation of the Giants by mid-June. That means he could have a huge impact on whether the Giants remain competitive for the remainder of the 2018 MLB season. It's also an important time period for fantasy baseball leagues, as it gives him a lot of value for the stretch run.
The updated MLB standings
Despite losing Madison Bumgarner to injury, the San Francisco Giants have managed to stay afloat in the National League standings.
The team sits at 15-15 entering the games on May 2, which is six-and-a-half games behind the Arizona Diamondbacks in the NL West. As for the NL Wild Card race, the Giants trail the Milwaukee Brewers by two-and-a-half games for the second slot. Losing Johnny Cueto is going to make it tough to stay in the race, but this good news about Bumgarner could give the team a little boost.
More MLB news
Elsewhere in the league, Major League Baseball messed up on a call for the Seattle Mariners, taking a home run away from Robinson Cano.
The Mariners also completed a trade with the Boston Red Sox, acquiring minor league starting pitcher Roenis Elias in order to add some depth to the team.

New Mexico Game Commission votes to end recreational cougar trapping
By Denise Hughett | November 24, 2019 | 0
(November 22, 2019)—Yesterday, the New Mexico State Game Commission voted unanimously to approve a new regulation that ends recreational cougar trapping in the state beginning in 2020. The decision follows a lawsuit waged by Animal Protection of New Mexico and the Humane Society of the United States, which argued that indiscriminate traps and snares threatened legally protected species including Mexican wolves, and that trophy hunting quotas for cougars were unsustainably high. The approved rule also substantially reduces hunting quotas for cougars throughout the state, albeit at levels that are still far higher than what is considered sustainable by the best available science.
"Cougars have a crucial role in the balance of nature and the Commission's vote to stop cruel recreational cougar trapping was the right decision" stated Laura Bonar, chief program and policy officer for Animal Protection of New Mexico. "We urge the Commission to take the next logical step which is to prohibit all traps and snares on public lands. Trapping and public lands are incompatible."
The 2015 decision to open recreational cougar trapping using steel-jawed leghold traps and snares for the first time in nearly five decades elicited statewide outcry. New Mexico was only one of two states in the continental United States that authorized the practice. In addition to exposing cougars to extreme pain and suffering, trapping presented a mortal and unlawful threat to non-target species, including Mexican wolves, cougar kittens and their mothers, and pets. As of this year, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimated that fewer than 150 Mexican wolves remained in the wild in the United States.
"While the new cougar rule is far from perfect, we applaud the Commission for terminating the barbaric and pointless practice of recreational trapping," said Nicholas Arrivo, staff attorney for the Humane Society of the United States. "There is no moral or scientific justification for inflicting such indiscriminate pain on New Mexico's cherished wildlife."
Despite the progress made on trapping, the new regulation authorizes substantial trophy hunting of both cougars and black bears throughout the state. From 2020 through 2024, New Mexico hunters will be permitted to kill 580 cougars and more than 800 black bears annually, despite the Department of Game and Fish's lack of reliable population estimates for either species.

What Facebook's Threat Report Means for Brands
As we hit the halfway point of 2021, one trend that we have been particularly interested in at SLD is the continued rise of fake news and misinformation. While our recent DeepReal research elevated the conversation around real versus fake, the publishing of Facebook's State of Influence Operations 2017-2020 Threat Report has helped validate our own findings and further showcases why this topic is something that brands should be taking seriously.
Facebook has been at the forefront of the fake news debate for years now, as it has become clear their platform is one of the main channels in which misinformation is spread. As such, they have been working with industry, government, and civil society to find meaningful solutions to influence operations (IO), which they define as "coordinated efforts to manipulate or corrupt public debate for a strategic goal."
In their report, Facebook highlights how threat actors have evolved their techniques over the past few years. These threat trends show that as governments and social media platforms clamp down on deceptive internet behaviour, threat actors are finding new ways to spread misinformation:
A shift from "wholesale" to "retail" IO: Threat actors pivot from widespread, noise deceptive campaigns to smaller, more targeted operations.
Blurring of the lines between authentic public debate and manipulation: Both foreign and domestic campaigns attempt to mimic authentic voices and co-opt real people into amplifying their operations.
Perception hacking: Threat actors seek to capitalize on the public's fear of IO to create the false perception of widespread manipulation of electoral systems, even if there is no evidence.
IO as service: Commercial actors offer their services to run influence operations both domestically and internationally, providing deniability to their customers and making IO available to a wider range of threat actors.
Increased operational security: Sophisticated IO actors have significantly improved their ability at hiding their identity, using technical obfuscation and witting and unwitting proxies.
Platform diversification: To evade detection and diversify risks, operations target multiple platforms (including smaller services) and the media, and rely on their own websites to carry on the campaign even when other parts of that campaign are shut down by one company.
While the primary focus of Facebook's report is on political interference, these threat trends should also raise some red flags for brands. Targeted operations, mimicking real people, creating false perceptions of misinformation, selling influence operations as a service, hiding identities, and spreading messages across multiple channels are all issues that impact consumer's willingness to accept what they are being shown online, regardless of who it is coming from.
One major concern for brands is highlighted in the chart below, which shows that in the USA, PR/consulting firms and media websites were among the top coordinated inauthentic behaviour networks taken down between 2017-2020. The idea that a brand can outsource its influence operations has wide-ranging implications and should be of concern to every industry.
Source: Facebook Threat Report
Along with presenting some key threat trends, the Facebook report also offers suggestions on how to mitigate these manipulators:
A combination of automation and expert investigations to remove IO
Product innovation and adversarial design
Partnerships with industry, government and civil society
Building deterrence
Though it won't happen overnight, a collective effort is needed to limit the influence of misinformation. Brands are not exempt. To find out more about Facebook's mitigation strategies, you can read the full report here. To find out how to drive greater consumer trust and brand loyalty, we encourage you to explore our extensive DeepReal content.

NASA Is Not Worried About The Recent Soyuz Rocket Launch Failure
By Vadim Ioan Caraiman , in Sci/Tech on October 14, 2018 . Tagged width: International Space Station , NASA , Roscosmos , Soyuz Rocket
NASA wanted to be calm on Friday after the Soyuz rocket launch failure and the restless return to Earth of the two astronauts aboard the spacecraft that was heading towards the ISS. At a press conference in Moscow, NASA's administrator Jim Bridenstine praised the "wonderful relationship" between Russia and the United States regarding space cooperation, adding that "it is quite expected" that NASA will continue to use Russian Soyuz rockets to send its astronauts to the ISS.
Jim Bridenstine, who was in Baikonur for the launch of the Soyuz that had to bring Nick Hague, a NASA astronaut, and Alexei Ovchininin, Roscosmos's astronaut, to the International Space Station, also said that "everything went well after the failure of the rocket," as both men returning to Earth safely.
Russia's Roscosmos Space Agency Executive Director Sergei Krikaliov certified that the ISS could operate unoccupied but warned that the Russians would do "everything possible to prevent this from happening."
"We will try to slightly advance the departure of the next crewed mission," normally scheduled for December 20th, he added. However, Sergei Krikaliov stated that the next scheduled takeoff of a Progress supply cargo ship, set for October 31st, could be delayed.
"The guys will have to fly again," said Dmitri Rogozine, the director of Roskosmos, on his Twitter account, talking about a flight "for next spring." On Friday, the two men joined the Star City, the cosmonaut training center near Moscow. Following this failure, all launches were suspended, and the Russian authorities opened a criminal investigation.
In the meantime, the three current occupants of the ISS, Alexander Gerst of Germany, Serena Aunon-Chancellor of the United States, and Sergei Prokopiev of Russia, will have to remain alone on the International Space Station longer than expected. It is not impossible that the mission of the three current occupants, which was due to end in December, could be extended, as the European Space Agency (ESA) reported.
The potential problem is that the batteries of the Soyuz rocket that is to bring the ISS astronauts back to Earth have a limit of about 200 days, thus, extending the deadline for a return to Earth up to January, tops.
The first results of the investigation on the Soyuz rocket launch failure, set up by Roskosmos, would be revealed on October 20th, the Russian space agency promised on Friday.

But while layered hair can work well with most types of hair and hairstyles, there are some drawbacks that you may want to evaluate before layering your hair. Firstly, very curly hair does not layer well, because the shorter layers tend to curl too much and this disrupts the layered look creating a scruffy appearance. Secondly, folks who like to change their styles frequently may not want to have their hair layered as it can take quite a while to grow out them out, depending on how fast your hair grows and how short your layers are.
The best way to grow out layers is to keep the bottom layer at an unchanging length, allowing the upper layers time to catch up with it. But it can get very boring and tedious and many people get frustrated by the wait and work. Also, if layers are done in such a way as to enhance the shape of your face it can make your features stand out too starkly. And while layers can be cut in many different lengths, the best range for layers is to keep them below the earlobe on long hair and below the eye on short hair, otherwise they may look out of control.


Sorry for my unannounced hiatus from the blogging world. Last Sunday through Wednesday I was house sitting for a professor and watching his 2 cats and 1 dog. I had full ambitions of blogging, photographing, and being super productive. Most of the days were rainy with come-and-go clouds, so those plans were traded in for relaxation, Netflix, and lots of Redbox. I watched Apollo 18 (cannot say I'll ever feel the same way about rocks again), Bucky Larson (I have cheesy guy humor when it comes to movies and I'm proud of it), and We Need to Talk About Kevin (this furthered my reason for not wanting kids, lest I push out the son/daughter of Satan). I got hooked on Breaking Bad and watched 10 episodes of Pretty Little Liars in one day, and I must admit it is my new favorite show.
Employed, academic, tied down, go-go-go Jocellyn from 2 months back would have stuck her nose up at such sloth behavior. Jocellyn right now is admitting the week of laziness was needed and a-okay. I've been dealing with some friend business that has been making me sad, but the time to just chill and veg out has helped me realize the situation I'm in, that I do have other great friends and I'm not alone in this tiny city, even though I've felt that way for most of the month. I must include a personal shout out to miss Laura P. for letting me call her through the blubbering and sputtering; decade long friendship is pretty awesome. I dealt with some anxiety (forgot how much that sucked), feelings of uncertainty, and after this past weekend I'm feeling a lot better about where I am and more sure of where I want to be these next few weeks, which leads me to my next endeavor.
One thing I need to do is start (okay, okay, for the millionth time) working out again. I've built a workout schedule that centers around the areas I want to work on—booty and abs, baby, booty and abs. I spent several afternoons searching Youtube videos to find the "personalities" I wanted to follow. There are some people that are great to watch, but the type of workouts they employ are either too intense or repetitive for my body. I've also decided I'm going to pick up light running again. Last summer I was into it, but not doing it consistently enough and thus getting injured. Plus, I was concerned it was hurting my yoga practice. Well, it has been a year of no running and I'm only a few centimeters closer to getting into lotus , so I figure a bit of cardio isn't going to hurt me. I'm going to be running 1 mile a day 5-6 days a week. Last summer I was running around 3-3.5 miles at a time. However, I was only making it out once and week and, as stated above, haphazardly. So now I'll be running less distance at once, still getting in some cardio, but covering more distance per week. There is a track at the local high school, so I'll be off the concrete and it'll be a nice morning routine where I can be alone and, as the yogis say, set an intention for the day. I'm figuring once my shins have gotten accustomed to the running, I can start working on sprints, and maybe even dedicate one day to doing hills (lord only knows Burlington has enough of those!) 1 mile doesn't seem that exciting or monumental, but I've come to accept that right now in my life I'm not a 5k girl, nor do I want to be one.
My break from reality was unexpected and highly needed, but I'm excited to be back with you all.

2 measures of water of the condensed milk can you used.
2 || Place the ingredients for the caramel sauce (the sugar and water) in the pan you will use for the flan (I use a bread pan like this one). Place on a burner in medium heat. Mix ingredients only once and without mixing again leave it here until the sugar melts and turns into caramel (the water ends up evaporating and the sugar turns liquid and brown). About 8-10 min. Let this cool down.
3|| Blend the eggs, the condensed milk, and the vanilla together in a blender. Then add the first can of water and blend again ( most blenders will only fit one can of water at a time. So you can blend it in two batches). Pour half of this blended mixture into the loaf pan with the melted caramel to make room for the second can of water. Then, add the second can of water to the mixture and blend again. Pour this second batch into pan as well.
4|| This mixture in the loaf pan is going to go in the oven in a double boiler sort of system. So you will need to find a larger pan ( a casserole pan works well like this one), into which you will place this loaf pan. Cover the loaf pan with aluminum paper. Fill the casserole pan with water so that it reaches about half the height of your loaf pan. Place it inside the oven.
5|| Put it in the oven for 45 min. Then, take the aluminum paper off and lower the oven temperature to 350 F. and leave it here for approx. 30 min. (you may need to add another 15 min. All ovens are different and it also depends on how much water you placed in the double boiler. You will know when its ready if you place a tooth pick in the middle and it comes out dry.
6|| Let cool. This is a great dessert to prepare ahead of time as it last for days in the refrigerator. To unmold (does this word even exist? to take it off from the mold)- cut around the edge with a knife. Then turn on a burner for a few minutes to warm up the metal in the stove top. Turn the heat off and then place the pan on top of the stove top....this will loosen the melted caramel. Once you can shake it a bit and feel that its lose, you place on top of your serving dish and flip it over. Voila!!
I promise, this recipe is SO easy! Don't be afraid of the double boiler part in the oven. And its SO delicious. All your guests will want seconds. A big thanks to my friend Maria Cristina for sharing this secret recipe and for giving me permission to post it here. What are you addicted to lately??

My brain says "no, it isn't!" but my gut says "could be, go on then."
Using Build 20121003_2115(x64) I get the same error. Good catch. Hope to see some good posts.
I have been using Revit since 2008 and never looked back. It went swiftly from a passion to an obsession. I remember how mysterious and eccentric it seemed. Now that I am sharing my experience with collegues I realise that it's time to share with all of you. Whether you are new to Revit or a Zen master, I hope I can provide you with a few little gems ,even if it means pointing you in the direction of those who inspire me.

Ukraine-The Human Cost of War.
For six years, people in Donbass, Ukraine have been living in fear. Fear of the physical violence caused by the conflict surrounding them. Fear about whether or not they will earn enough money or be able to access pensions to support themselves. Fear of living close to the 'contact line', which is littered with landmines and other explosives. And now, fear of a virus that has wreaked havoc on the world and threatens to intensify all the challenges associated with a humanitarian crisis.
More than10,000civilians have beenkilled or injuredand1.4 millionpeople have been registered asinternally displacedas a result of Europe's deadliest conflict in the past two decades. Already enduring so much, the COVID-19 pandemic has only intensified the challenges faced by people living in this conflict-affected part of Ukraine. Some3.4 million peopleare in need of humanitarian assistance, with that number projected to rise due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and associated economic impacts.
Despite the ongoing conflict, the humanitarian response in eastern Ukraine has been consistently underfunded for the past five years. As a result, humanitarian actors are unable to ensure that people in urgent need of assistance receive the support they require. In 2020, only 28 per cent of humanitarian funding needed for this year alone has been provided. Thehumanitarian community urgently needs anotherUS$149 millionto respond to the humanitarian and health crises and support vulnerable people living in conflict-affected areas.

At 10am we heard the first bombs fall so we took refuge in the basement of the restaurant. After several minutes we decided to escape from the cellar because we were afraid we might die, crushed in the cellar, so we ran to the nearest building. A bomb fell a few metres from us and I remember the cries of the people who tried to help us. When I regained my senses I noticed that my left leg was burning. I was transported to the nearest military hospital but they couldn't do anything given the severity of my wounds. I was then transported to a hospital in Kharkiv, where I stayed for three months, and finally to Kiev." © Richard Juilliart

The suspect named by the media as "Man Haron Monis" also has gone by the names "Manteghi Boroujerdi" and "Mohammad Hassan Manteghi" and was an individual now confirmed to have long been on the radar of the Australian government, media, law enforcement, and court system since his arrival on Australian shores almost two decades ago.
If we explain about the meaning of the word 'Islamic' as a religious society, if we say Islamic society is a religious society, and a society which has a relation with God, and wants to be honest, we can say Australia, Canada, England, USA, so many western countries, they are religious societies. They don't say 'We are religious', but in fact the spirit of religion, we can see the spirit of religion in these societies. And some other countries in the Middle East, in Asia, they say 'We are Islamic' they have a name of Islamic, but in fact they are not religious societies and religious governments.
Whenever I walk in the street, whenever I go out in Australia, I feel I am in a real religious society. I don't want to say it is perfect, we don't have a perfect society on the earth, but when we compare, if we compare Australia with Iran and other countries in the Middle East, we can say it is heaven.
People in Sydney walking past the State Parliament buildings on Macquarie Street in recent weeks might have noticed a tall Muslim cleric who has taken up residence in a tent on the footpath outside. He is Ayatollah Manteghi Boroujerdi, a liberal cleric who fled Iran four years ago after being very critical of the Iranian regime. Ayatollah Boroujerdi's wife and two daughters are now under house arrest in Iran, and he's hoping the Howard government will put pressure on the regime there to let his family join him here in Australia.
Far from an extremist – Boroujerdi/Monis/Manteghi instead posed as the perfect poster child for the ongoing anti-Iran, pro-war propaganda building at the time – propaganda that continues to this very day and is an integral part of current efforts to overthrow both the Syrian and Iranian governments.
He was a "liberal Iranian" fleeing the "Iranian regime" who held his family "hostage." He professed his admiration of Western society and praised it as "heaven." "Heavenly" could have also described his propaganda value to the West at the time.
Over the years, however, Boroujerdi/Monis/Manteghi would shape-shift, coincidentally along the same unsavory lines Western pro-war rhetoric shifted – first by helping discredit anti-war sentiment in Australia by sending abusive letters to the families of fallen soldiers, then discrediting Islam itself through cartoonish acts of rhetorical extremism. And just like a shape-shifter, the character Boroujerdi/Monis/Manteghi would don many different costumes.
At times he would appear as a secular liberal dressed in Western, if not outdated attire, at other times a "Shai'a cleric" wearing traditional robes. Most recently, to help sow ISIS hysteria, he impersonated an ISIS supporter, claiming to have "converted to Sunni Islam" a month ago, wearing Wahabi-inspired terrorist attire. And in his final act amid the "Sydney Siege," he would produce the flag often carried by Al Qaeda affiliate Al Nusra in Syria – a terrorist front that has in fact drawn many Australian's from Sydney over the course of the recent Syrian war.
His alleged ideological causes were as contradictory as his attire. First claiming for years to be a pro-Western "liberal Shia'a," dressed as a Shia'a cleric, his recent shift to supporting ISIS terrorists would mean he was backing a terrorist front of Wahabists – enemies of Iran and the Shai'a communities across the entire Muslim World that depend on Tehran for protection. It would also mean he was adopting an ideology that at least rhetorically claims to stand in complete opposition to the West he had previously claimed to admire.
FEDERAL agents have been urged by the nation's senior Shia leader, Kamal Mousselmani, to investigate an Iranian man purporting to be a prominent Islamic cleric.
Sheik Mousselmani told The Australian yesterday the mystery cleric – who has been identified as Ayatollah Manteghi Boroujerdi on his website after appearing under the name Sheik Haron – was not a genuine Shia spiritual leader.
He said there were no ayatollahs – supreme Shia scholars – in Australia and none of his fellow spiritual leaders knew who Ayatollah Boroujerdi or Sheik Haron was.
However, were that the case, and had Iran warned Australian authorities of this man, one wonders why he would be allowed political asylum in the first place, let alone allowed to occupy the spotlight amid Australia's divisive political landscape for so long, especially in light of his many alleged criminal offenses.
Considering the global surveillance state Australia finds itself a willing partner in, how is it possible to claim Boroujerdi/Monis/Manteghi was a "lone wolf" terrorist? Surely if Australians are being surveilled without probable cause, so too was Boroujerdi/Monis/Manteghi, and yet he was apparently able to obtain weapons, travel freely with them, all while publicly supporting terrorist organizations including ISIS.
According to a portion of his now-deleted website (which you can see here) … Monis pledged allegiance to ISIS before the attack.
Vox would go on to cite Washington-based Neo-Conservative pro-war, anti-Iranian think-tank, the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy (FDD) to claim Boroujerdi/Monis/Manteghi had no ties to ISIS and that he was simply a "fruitcake." No evidence was provided.
However, this "fruitcake" was credible enough to be granted political asylum by the Australian government in 1996, credible enough to serve the West's propaganda campaign against Iran in 2001, and then play along with the West's coordinated strategy of tension designed to discredit anti-war sentiment during Australia's participation in the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, and more recently ratchet up anti-Islamic sentiment and help justify continued Western military intervention in nations like Syria and Iran against which both Boroujerdi/Monis/Manteghi and the FDD are/were clearly opposed to.
In fact, if unable to convince Australians to back "liberals" like himself in opposition to the Iranian government, perhaps he and his handlers felt posing as an extremist to provoke support for direct military intervention in Syria and in turn, Iran, was the next best bet.
One thing is for sure, for a man in Australia's political and legal spotlight either for good or for bad for nearly two decades, it is highly unlikely he was able to put together this plot without Australian security and intelligence agents knowing. After several recent "anti-terror" operations carried out across Sydney based on intercepted communication, why hadn't federal agents also visited a suspected murderer openly pledging allegiance to ISIS?
The Western media's eagerness to dismiss Boroujerdi/Monis/Manteghi's actions amid the "Sydney Siege" before a full investigation reeks of a cover-up and whatever the truth may be – what is being insisted upon by the media, government, and corporate-funded think-tanks now certainly isn't it.

Mack Wilson Makes It Seven Alabama Players Leaving Early for NFL Draft
Ben George
On Friday, four Alabama players announced they'd be turning pro during a press conference held by the school. Since that time, three more players have decided to leave early for a future in the NFL.
The latest was linebacker Mack WIlson. The junior thanked the team and staff in a message he shared on Twitter Sunday.
Wilson's announcement comes after defensive backs Deionte Thompson and Saivion Smith both decided to forego their final season in Tuscaloosa. That now means that Alabama will lose a total of seven players that could have been a part of the 2019 team. As Ben Jones points out, that's the most the program will have lost in a single season. Nick Saban had to replace five early departures in 2014 and 2018.
Once Friday ended, it looked like the Crimson Tide secondary might be in great shape a year after having to replace every starter in the secondary. The good news is that Trevon Diggs will return from injury and should give Alabama a pair of cornerbacks that could become elite players in the SEC next season.
Much like last year, this offseason will be all about turnover and new faces. Alabama already lost four assistant coaches on offense so integrating everyone into the program will be a key part of spring practice, which will begin in March. Stay tuned to Tide 102.9 and 100.9 for complete coverage and discussion of this and all Alabama football news.

Sep 14 Goodbye Messenger, Hello WeChat
James Wen, Dartmouth Business Journal
Since the smartphone first came out on the market, people have been filling their screens with dozens of new apps. On many phones, you can find Uber, Facebook and perhaps a few apps from banks and popular stores. WeChat, a messaging app created by Chinese company Tencent, combines all of them into one and is taking advantage of the growing mobile e-commerce market to move beyond providing simple messaging services. Released in just 2011, WeChat has grown to have over 806 million users and makes its counterparts, Facebook's Messenger and WhatsApp look primitive in comparison.
WeChat sets itself apart by combining and innovating features of many other social media and e-commerce apps. Besides simple messaging, WeChat also allows users to video chat and call their contacts. Users can also post photos and status updates in the "Moments" section much similar to Facebook's Newsfeed. Their contacts can then tag, comment or like each others posts. WeChat has also brilliantly streamlined the process of connecting to new people. Users simply scan personalized QR codes to connect with new contacts. At large functions, such as a parties or networking events, users can quickly connect with each other by using the "shake" or "radar" features that connect individuals to others in their immediate vicinity.
WeChat's foray into e-commerce is what truly set them apart. In 2013, WeChat launched WeChat Wallet, an internal app feature that at first allowed users to send money to each other, similar to PayPal's Venmo. Many Chinese users especially took advantage of the new feature during the holiday season. According to the Wall Street Journal, in 2016 Chinese users sent 32 billion "bundles" of cash during New Years alone. About a year after the start of WeChat Wallet, Tencent partnered with Didi, a taxi hailing app. WeChat users were then able to call and pay for a taxi all within the app. In its first month, over 21 million cab rides were ordered via WeChat according to TechInAsia. This service largely helped Didi push Uber out of the Chinese market.
Tencent's partnership with Didi was WeChat's first major advance in e-commerce. Shortly after, WeChat launched in-store payments. Tencent took advantage of the WeChat Wallet platform and QR codes already in the app to make in-store payments more seamless. Users would first link their credit cards with WeChat Wallet then have their QR code scanned when making a purchase at a store. According to the Financial Times, WeChat handled 21 percent of Chinese mobile payments in 2015, just a year after starting the service.
WeChat also allowed businesses to make their own accounts, similar to Pages on Facebook. As a result, consumers can browse, research and make purchases all within the app. According to Tencent, over 300,000 retail stores connect with customers on WeChat. Like eBay and Amazon, individuals can start accounts to sell their own products. Businesses like McDonalds and Starbucks use their WeChat pages to allow customers to find the nearest store and order products for pickup. Other companies such as Coca-Cola took more creative measures to increase direct customer interaction. WeChat users can play games in the app and then receive Coca-Cola coupons, which then go to their "wallet" for later use.
WeChat's diverse range of features affords it a unique advantage: one-stop shopping. Unlike other apps such as Uber or Amazon that offer a narrow focus of features, WeChat allows users to carry out many activities in one place, making mobile phone use more user-friendly. The app's efficiency has allowed it to grow to its current size in just half a decade while also bringing in high revenues for Tencent. According to the BBC, WeChat's growth helped Tencent overtake the better-known Alibaba as China's most valuable tech company in August 2016. Tencent was valued at $249 billion, $3 billion more than Alibaba.
Another advantage of WeChat's "one-stop-shopping" characteristic is that it can holistically look at users' habits, unlike other apps that can only collect users' habits in specific areas. This means that Tencent has the data to potentially analyze consumer markets more efficiently than other companies. The data collected from WeChat itself could also be a significant profit maker for Tencent.
With a strong user base in China, WeChat has turned its attention to foreign markets, most notably in South Africa and South Korea. In many foreign countries, more people use phones than computers. Therefore, the future of e-commerce will depend on mobile e-commerce growth. According to Gartner, a technology researching company, consumers will spend $2 billion on online shopping through their mobile devices by the end of 2016. Social media and messaging apps, especially Facebook's Messenger, are losing out on what could potentially be billions of dollars in revenue. According to Forbes, in the first quarter of 2016, WeChat brought in $1.8 billion in mobile revenue. In contrast, Facebook's Messenger brought in zero. WeChat's potential to become a major player in overseas markets will increase as mobile e-commerce grows, despite the company's moderate success abroad. Apps like Messenger need to innovate and go beyond simple messaging — otherwise many more people will be scanning each other's QR codes than friending each other.
