Mark Brandi wins 'Debut Dagger' Award
At Cube Group, we are proud of all of our team members, but all the more so when they win major international awards.
Senior Consultant Mark Brandi recently won the 2016 Debut Dagger, the British Crime Writers' Association prize for the best unpublished crime novel. It was awarded for Mark's first manuscript, 'Wimmera' – a moody, blackly humorous, but unsettling depiction of small-town crime and vengeance.
Nick Field sat down with Mark to find out more.
Why crime writing?
I mostly write literary fiction – in the case of 'Wimmera', this happened to include a crime at its centre. My background is in criminal justice, so I have long been fascinated by the social dimensions of criminality.
How did you become a writer?
The catalyst was a serious bike accident – it made me realise I had to take a risk and truly commit to my writing. Since then, I've been fortunate to receive freelance opportunities with The Big Issue, The Guardian, The Age, and ABC Radio National. The radio work has especially helped my craft – writing for the ear means every word has to do its job. It's a discipline I've tried to carry over to my novel work.
How does your background influence your writing?
I was the youngest child of a migrant family – the only Italians in a small country town. It was the sort of place where, as the cliché goes, you're only local once you have a few generations in the cemetery. But there is a quiet intensity to country life – the constant gossip hums alongside unspoken secrets. There is a lot of tension in rural towns, fizzing just below the surface.
I loved reading throughout my childhood, especially my older brother's 2000AD comic books, which probably kindled my interest in writing fiction. That said, I went to a local school without particular emphasis on the arts. Then at university, after dropping out of law, it took me a while to find anything of interest. I started five different courses before finally completing a Criminal Justice degree.
My subsequent career in the justice portfolio – and, more particularly, as a ministerial adviser for corrections – exposed me to some of the darker elements of humanity. This experience infused some of the territory my writing explores.
How have your family reacted?
They have been pleased, probably a little mystified, but have enjoyed and shared in the successes to date. My partner has also been very supportive. Oddly enough, my three older siblings all work in criminal justice, so they're all looking forward to reading 'Wimmera'.
What is your writing routine?
Routine and ritual is important. I jealously guard my time – the immersion in my writing is more valuable than any daily word count. I'm also a bit of a night owl, so I tend to do my initial drafting earlier in the day, then return to it late.
I also enjoy running and time outdoors with my dog, Millie. It's important to have a rounded life that isn't centred solely on writing.
Tell me more about the award you have won?
The Debut Dagger competition has been running for 15 years through the British Crime Writer's Association as a means to encourage unpublished writers. The award is judged by a panel of top crime editors and agents.
What are you reading at the moment?
Cormac McCarthy's 'No Country For Old Men'. Next up is MJ Hyland's 'Carry Me Down'.
A writing career can be fickle – I always hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
That said, I'm cautiously hoping to see 'Wimmera' on the shelves one day. But it has to be with the right publisher who is as passionate about the story and characters as I am. Meanwhile, I'm working a new manuscript, and a few shorter works.

Lorrie knits and sews: Knit a Mile from Stash?
Knit a Mile from Stash?
I've taken up a Ravelry challenge to knit a mile from stash in the next 6 weeks. I'm ready. I've weighed all the remaining yarn in my ongoing projects and figured the yards/ounce which is unknit. When I finish the project, I'll weigh the remains and subtract. Someone figured that at 200 yds for a sock, 4 pairs would meet the challenge. That sounds doable. I do have a couple of other things in minds also.
I've started the January mystery sock and finished clue 1 for one sock. I've almost finished the red part for the 2nd sock.
Socks for John are almost to the heel, just a plain 2x2 ribbing.
I finished Peg's Fidget. I'll give it to her tomorrow morning when we meet for breakfast. Soon I won't be able to talk about gifts. I'm telling the whole family about the blog and many of them will look in. Maybe I'll talk about the knitting and not identify the recipient.
As usual, I had to work today. I get Thursdays off. I'm home all evening, so lots of knitting time. We're having roast beef has for dinner, to use up the end of a small roast. There are only two of us so it doesn't pay to cook a lot of meat. I do still make big pots of things and freeze the remains in one or two person servings.
Your Fidget is lovely! What is the yarn?
Is it Spring in January?


before my birthday! I'm turning 35, and I'm proud of it. There will be no grand celebration, all I wish is a simple family bonding with the 3 most important people in my life - my husband, my daughter and my son. I may not see my son on the 24th since he's still in the province but I will make it up to him once he arrive next week.

The power of pushy
The appointment today of Anne Marie Owens as editor of National Post, the first woman ever to head a Canadian national newspaper, raises the question: how will a member of the fair sex fare in the role? It's hard not to think about the recent firing of Jill Abramson as editor of the New York Times. Media specialist Ken Auletta, who wrote more knowledgeably about the dismissal than anyone else, said one of the reasons was because Abramson was seen by management as "pushy."
Pushy. What a word. It's only used about a woman, never a man. Owens, currently deputy editor at Maclean's, doesn't tweet very often (only three times this calendar year) so it's interesting that she recently tweeted a definition of pushy by saying, "People expect women to be communal leaders and men to be autocratic ones."
Owens was at National Post in 1998 when the paper launched. So was I. I have no recollection of her which probably says more about me than her. It was a big newsroom; I was in the business ghetto. But I do know this. Founding editor Ken Whyte was not a communal leader. Every Friday afternoon he'd throw out most of the Saturday features that journalists had been working on all week and order up a batch of new pieces. His editorial judgement was always right.
Whether she likes the idea of being pushy or not, Owens cannot be communal. The role demands other talents. In this case, the requirements include being pushy. Even if it gets her fired.

The Debrief
Debrief: Tracking Week 1 storylines that actually matter
Published: Sep 14, 2020 at 06:26 PM
Gregg Rosenthal
Around The NFL Editor
The quality of play was normal. The amount of injuries was normal. Even the trio of spicy upsets (hello, Jacksonville, Washington and Arizona) was normal. If the lack of an offseason program and preseason games made an appreciable difference in Week 1, it was difficult to see.
The lack of home crowds will take some getting used to -- Aaron Donald said Sunday Night Football felt like a scrimmage while he treated the Cowboys like his scout team -- but otherwise, the football looked like it would in a standard opening Sunday, which is to say it was eclectic. I'm always in favor of allowing teams and players to find themselves in September before judging too harshly, and that is doubly true during a pandemic.
With that in mind, this week's Debrief will focus on the stories from Week 1 that truly matter.
1) The injuries to tight end Blake Jarwin and linebacker Leighton Vander Esch will hurt the Cowboys more deeply than their disappointing season-opening loss. The Cowboys expected Jarwin to have a breakout season before he tore his ACL on Sunday night, and the drop-off at the position to Dalton Schultz is massive. (Dak Prescott threw to Schultz four times for a total of 11 yards in the loss to the Rams.) This is hardly an offense short on pass catchers, but a weak tight end group will make the Cowboys more predictable.
Vander Esch's broken collarbone is another heartbreak. He had a strong pro debut in 2018, but he was not the same player last season before being sidelined by a neck injury that cost him seven games and required surgery, and now he's suffered another significant injury. I came into this season believing the Cowboys' defense would go as Vander Esch and fellow linebacker Jaylon Smith did, and now Vander Esch is gone, failing to even make it out of the first quarter. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Vander Esch will be back in six to eight weeks, but it's fair to wonder how long he will last -- and whether he'll be able to play at the high level he did as a rookie.
2) Aldon Smith already looks like one of the best free-agent signings of the offseason. In a world where average starting defensive ends make nearly $10 million per season, Smith's $2 million contract in Dallas is an outrageous bargain. Smith hasn't played in four seasons, thanks to suspensions issued for multiple substance-abuse and personal-conduct violations, yet he looked much like the player who took the league by storm back in San Francisco, where he racked up 19.5 sacks in 2012. If anything, he looked stronger in the running game. The Rams' game plan helped mitigate the Cowboys' pass rush Sunday, but it's going to be a force once DeMarcus Lawrence and Everson Griffen get going.
3) The Patriots' offense will be as funky as you wanted it to be. Some folks had to see evidence that Cam Newton's running could be the foundation of the Patriots' offense before believing it could happen in Foxborough. Believe it. New England has the running backs, offensive line, quarterback and coaching staff to play in a Baltimore North style that will be the opposite of the Tom Brady era in every respect -- except for the quarterback's attention to detail regarding postgame outfits and social media posts.
The Patriots threw the ball 19 times in 63 plays in Sunday's win over Miami, with Newton running 15 times himself. Pairing option football on offense with one of football's best defensive backfields is a recipe for a lot of close, low-scoring games reminiscent of Bill Belichick's early New England squads.
4) Teddy Bridgewater will be a lot more fun to watch in Carolina. Bridgewater's 6.2 average depth of target during his time in New Orleans was like a Scarlet Letter, misread by others as a sign that all he could do was dink and dunk. His first start with the Panthers on Sunday was far more fun to watch, with the aDOT figure jumping up to 8.2, while his deep-ball percentage also more than doubled, according to Jim Sannes. Sample-size caution applies like it does to everything else after Week 1, but Bridgewater also routinely made the first defender miss. He's never going to be a running quarterback, but the athleticism he shows while extending plays before finding a receiver has been undersold going back to his Louisville days. The Panthers may not win a ton of games, but they are going to be a lot more enjoyable -- like they were in Week 1's delightfully entertaining 34-30 loss to the Raiders.
5) Josh Jacobs' fantasy owners don't need to worry about his backups. Remember all that concern about Jacobs giving up passing-down work? On a hot day in Charlotte, Jacobs refused to come out of the game while racking up 139 yards from scrimmage on 29 touches. Jacobs played 49 of 63 possible snaps, with Devontae Booker next in line among running backs with eight snaps. The second-year star has clearly worked on his receiving skills and was the best player on the field in Carolina in Week 1.
6) The Seahawks going extremely pass-heavy against the Falcons is a terrible omen for the rest of the NFC. Russell Wilson has delivered the Seahawks to the playoffs with one hand tied behind his back the last few years because of Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's conservative play-calling. After a somewhat tiresome offseason during which "Let Russ Cook" went from Football Twitter to Carroll's ears, it appears the organization has wised up.
The Seahawks and Cowboys passed on the highest percentage of early down plays in the first 28 minutes in Week 1, according to Mike Sando of The Athletic. This is one way to measure how aggressive a passing game will be, and it's a measure where the Seahawks have consistently lagged well behind average despite the presence of their top-five NFL passer. If the Seahawks continue to play to Wilson's strengths rather than simply wait for him to create fourth-quarter magic, they will look like a title contender.
7) Aaron Donald may have another level to reach. I know it's not smart to mine football takeaways from Hard Knocks, but I couldn't help thinking Donald somehow looked better than ever while ruining the Rams' offense in training camp throughout August. That preposterous level of play continued Sunday night, where he almost single-handedly destroyed the Cowboys with 10 pressures, despite facing constant double teams. That's the most pressures Donald had in a game since Week 16 of the 2018 season, according to Pro Football Focus -- and it serves as a reminder that at age 29, it's possible for this all-time great to get even better.
8) The NFC West could be the NFL's best division in a few years. Week 1's results confirmed my priors here, so I'm not worried about an overreaction. There is no other divisional coaching four-pack as strong as Seattle's Pete Carroll, Arizona's Kliff Kingsbury, San Francisco's Kyle Shanahan and Los Angeles' Sean McVay. The Cardinals' upset in Santa Clara shows there are no easy games in the division. There is continuity and talent at key positions for all four teams. They also enjoy a favorable out-of-division schedule, drawing the AFC East and NFC East this year.
With seven teams making the playoffs in each conference in the new expanded playoff format, it will now be possible for all four teams in a division to reach the postseason -- and the notion isn't that crazy with this division. Three teams making it to January from the NFC West feels like a safe prediction.
9) The Colts will look a lot different without Marlon Mack. Colts coach Frank Reich does not want Philip Rivers to throw the ball 46 times each week, like he did in a frustrating loss in Jacksonville. Mack's torn Achilles tendon, however, makes the team more one-dimensional. There were a lot of positive developments from the Colts' offense in a game where they racked up 445 yards with youngsters like receiver Parris Campbell and running backs Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines all playing well, but Rivers leading a one-dimensional attack inspires flashbacks to his San Diego days with Reich. Taylor can be a three-down playmaker, but the rookie's apprenticeship lasted all of one week.
10) Michael Thomas' high ankle sprain will further limit a condensed Saints offense. It's tempting to overreact to how poor the Saints passing game looked for most of Sunday's game against the Bucs. Tampa coordinator Todd Bowles' group was handled twice by the Saints a year ago, but this time, Bowles crowded the line of scrimmage, sent defensive-back blitzes and dared Drew Brees to beat them deep. Saints coach Sean Payton mostly responded by retreating into a shell, often using Taysom Hill at quarterback on key third downs.
It's strange to see a Saints offense that is so passive. Payton and Brees have become experts at working around Brees' arm-strength issues, but the degree of difficulty increases each season without a big-play element. To Brees' credit, he connected with tight end Jared Cook for 46 yards when the team needed it. Still, it's disarming to watch a Saints offense fail to have a wide receiver top Thomas' three catches for 17 yards.
Rapoport and NFL Network's Tom Pelissero report that Thomas will try to play through the injury, which sounds like a dubious idea. The Saints need Thomas at 100 percent late in the season, and this is an injury that can linger. As the Saints showed Sunday, they are capable of winning with a strong defense, special teams and situational football, just like they did with Teddy Bridgewater filling in for Brees last season.
11) The Ravens don't need to run well to embarrass a defense. Baltimore's ground game gained 107 yards against the Browns, which sounds respectable -- until you realize it was the team's lowest total in Lamar Jackson's 23 career regular-season starts. It's scary that the Ravens can still put up 38 points without much of a running game, but that's life with Lamar. The 23-year-old's 47-yard downfield strike to Marquise Brown, his touch pass for a score to Willie Snead and the 21-yard toss to tight end Mark Andrews were as precise and pretty as any passes Sunday not made by Aaron Rodgers. Jackson still led the Ravens in rushing (45 yards on seven carries), but it was noticeable how he used his speed to buy time to throw rather than always taking a rushing gain.
After an offseason of talk about the Ravens expanding their passing game, Jackson was 11 of 13 for 194 yards and three touchdowns on throws traveling more than 10 yards, according to Next Gen Stats. The threat of the Ravens' running attack opens up the field, but Jackson also hit a number of tight-window throws. It almost feels unfair to live in this time of Young Lamar and Young Patrick Mahomes. As with the fact that this entire season exists at all, I will not take it for granted.
12) Ben Roethlisberger is still Ben Roethlisberger. It took all of two drives for Big Ben to make it clear that elbow surgery didn't change what makes him special. On a third-and-7, Roethlisberger cycled through his first two reads before hitting old buddy JuJu Smith-Schuster in stride, just as Ben was crunched by two Giants defenders. Three plays later, Roethlisberger dropped a rainbow into the waiting arms of rookie Chase Claypool, 28 yards away on the opposite sideline. If you squinted, Claypool looked just like Plaxico Burress catching passes from a rookie Ben, yet another great Steelers receiver draft pick off the assembly line.
Roethlisberger warmed up further in a hurry-up drill to close out the first half and wound up throwing for 229 yards and three touchdowns, but the stats are beside the point. Ben played like Ben and the Steelers should be an AFC contender as long as he stays on the field.

After gaining strength Friday morning, Beryl was a Category 1 storm with maximum sustained winds of almost 80 miles per hour, according to the hurricane center.
The Caribbean island of Dominica, ravaged by the deadly passage of Hurricane Maria previous year, was again under a hurricane watch Friday as the first such storm of the 2018 Atlantic season moved toward the Lesser Antilles.
A tropical depression strengthened into Hurricane Beryl on Friday after gaining strength overnight, the National Hurricane Centre said. As Beryl approaches the Lesser Antilles by late this weekend, it should feel the influence of the shear over the eastern Caribbean (see Fig. 6) and weakening back into a tropical storm looks likely. If this storm reaches Tropical Storm status, it would be given the name, "Chris".
Maximum sustained winds are reaching 80 miles per hour with larger gusts. The storm's hurricane-force winds are only 20 miles wide, relatively small for a hurricane, so Beryl's behavior is especially unpredictable.
A hurricane watch was issued for Dominica, which was battered by Hurricane Maria in September as a Category 5 storm. The projected wind speeds also came down a tad to an expected peak at 90 miles per hour in two days, but forecasters stressed there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding Beryl. A tropical storm watch was issued for Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique, Guadeloupe, St. Martin and St. Barthelemy, where conditions are expected to deteriorate Saturday night with a potential for a foot of rain in some areas.
Beryl, the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2018 season was headed for the Lesser Antilles, where it was expected to make landfall by Monday.
Latest forecast track for Beryl from the NHC.
Interests elsewhere in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of Beryl, as additional watches could be required for other islands tonight or early Saturday.
As Beryl continues to show signs of strengthening, the BVI should begin feeling the effects of the hurricane by late Sunday.
Another tropical wave, known as Invest 96-L, near Bermuda may also become a depression or a storm by next week, according to the National Hurricane Center. The development of this feature is possible as the storm moves through a low shear environment and warm ocean waters.

Lynette, you asked, "Are you a planner (purchase your gifts or cards more than 6 days beforehand) or are you a procrastinator (purchase gifts and cards 6, or fewer, days ahead)?" I'd say a planner purchases gifts or cards more than six hours in advance, and a procrastinator buys six minutes ahead of time. Do I have a card for my husband? Not yet.
PS: That power ring suits you.
LOL! I think I'm of the six minutes ahead of time variety. I haven't bought one for my husband yet, either.
I ordered a gift last week. It's still in transit, so not sure if that will make me a procrastinator. 🙂 Oh if I only had a power ring!
I'd say you're in the planner camp, Coleen. You're waaaay ahead of me. You know, if I find two power rings, I'll give you one!
LOL. Maybe not a romantic Valentine's Day, but a sure sign that you two are comfortable and confident in your relationship with each other. That's cool.
I think it's wonderful that you didn't (and still don't) need a holiday to express your love for each other! Being poor isn't wonderful, but it can teach you what's important in life. Seems like you did that very well. Thanks for sharing, Diana.


Nov 27 (Reuters) - Manchester City progressed to the knockout stages of the Champions League after twice coming from behind to draw 2-2 with Olympique Lyonnais in Group F on Tuesday.
Goals from Maxwel Cornet were cancelled out by Aymeric Laporte and Sergio Aguero to leave City top of the group on 10 points. Lyon are second on seven points, two ahead of Shakhtar Donetsk who snatched a late 3-2 win at Hoffenheim to keep alive their hopes of reaching the last 16.
City often found themselves on the back foot in France and struggled to contain Ivorian forward Cornet who hit the bar before halftime. He gave the hosts the lead 10 minutes after the break with a fine left-foot finish from the edge of the area.
Pep Guardiola's side equalised when Laporte headed in just after the hour. However, Cornet struck again 10 minutes from time with a low angled finish after latching on to a through ball from Memphis Depay.
Once again City levelled with a header, this time from Sergio Aguero straight from a Riyad Mahrez corner.
The draw would have been enough for both sides to reach the last 16 were it not for Shakhtar's late winner. Lyon travel to Ukraine in a final group showdown next month.

Patna: The NDA is leading in 15 seats, while the Grand Alliance is ahead in nine constituencies, as per the early trends of counting in Bihar assembly polls.
Official trends showed the BJP is leading in nine seats and its allies JD(U) and Vikassheel Insaan Party in five and one respectively.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal is leading in five seats and its ally Congress in three and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in one seat.
The Bahujan Samaj Party is leading in one seat.
Counting of votes got underway at 8 am and postal ballots were opened first and these trends are mostly based on these ballots.
Officials said the final results may be delayed a bit this time owing to an increase in the number of polling stations in view of the coronavirus pandemic.

Well not really bubbles as in sudsy bubbles…more like SUDS as in Subjective Units of Distress in EFT Tapping. One gets you clean and the other gets you clear! See what I did there?
When I say Subjective Units of Distress you probably zone out, right? It sounds like a dull subject and I can hear you snoozing already! Promise, I'll keep it quick so continue reading!
The SUDs scale is a handy little tool that makes it easy to tell if you are making progress while tapping on a your issue. Of course, there are countless ways to test your progress but using the SUDs scale is, in my opinion, the simplest way. It was especially helpful when I was just learning how to tap. Choose the way that works for you!
Step 1) Think of your issue / problem.
Step 2) Ask yourself: How bad is it for me? What number would I use to rate this problem? Note: Typically the SUDs scale ranges from 1-10 but any number is okay. For example, if the number 35 pops into your head when you ask yourself the above questions, great! Don't judge it, just go with it. Write it down as your starting point.
Step 3) Tap a round or two on your problem and all thoughts that come up around it.
Step 4) Stop tapping, take a deep breath to clear your mind and test your SUDs rating again by asking yourself the very same questions: How bad is it for me? What number would I use to rate this problem? Note: You want to keep the questions consistent because if you change your questions you may not notice your shifts in distress or perspective around the original subject. You aren't truly testing the original subject if you change questions each time you tap. It is okay to change the questions once you reach a SUDs rating of zero because it is as if you have completely put the first issue / problem "to rest" and are now starting with a separate subject and set of questions. Make sense? Hopefully so!
Now you have the basics down and can put it to practice…if you dare.
Any questions about Subjective Units of Distress or the SUDs Scale? Send me a quick note. I enjoy your questions!

It may be hard to believe, but Sonic the Hedgehog is a quarter of a century old this year. As part of the year-long celebration, Gamnesia is that Sega is working with Archie Comics to create a special comic that aims to recapture the classic feel of the beloved character, his friends and his notorious enemy, Dr. Eggman.
The comic will be called "Sonic: Mega Drive," and the story takes place after the Blue Blur and Co. have bested the Death Egg. Apparently Dr. Eggman is working on a new weapon called, you guessed it, the Mega Drive, and now it's up to Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles to stop him.
The comic will be a one-shot, so no worries on picking up an issue every month for the rest of 2016. It'll set you back $3.99 for 32 pages of Sonic goodness, with cover art by Tyson Hesse, a script by Ian Flynn and interior art by Hesse, Jack Morelli and Matt Herms. The release date is set for June 6, which is just in time for any other Sonic-related news to pop up at E3.
And that seems pretty likely, as Sega has announced that Sonic's big birthday is being celebrated with a year's worth of promotions. Along with the comic, expect new games, memorabilia and who knows what else to make the occasion a memorable on for longtime fans.
It's nice to see Sega pouring so much love into Sonic's 25th birthday, but they probably felt it was a necessity after seeing Nintendo's plans for Pokemon. Those pocket monsters are only turning 20 and they're getting new games, 3DS bundles, a mobile app, new toys, a movie and more. Can you imagine being Sega, looking over at Sonic and trying to explain why his birthday was going to be low key? Maybe this will start a sort of parental showboating rivalry, with Nintendo and Sega trying to one-up each other's celebrations. Nintendo gets a magician for Pokemon's party, so Sega brings out a petting zoo.
If nothing else, this news should make anyone who remembers a gaming world before Sonic feel nice and old…Or is that just me. Anyway, let us know how you plan on celebrating Sonic's 25th birthday in the comments section below. Feel free to share a favorite Sonic-related memory or talk about the first time you played a game featuring the spinning critter. Also, anything in particular you're hoping to see come out of this momentous occasion?

The Team Approach to Managing Dental Implant Complications: The Periodontist's Point of View
Stuart J. Froum, DDS
November 2019 RN - Expires November 30th, 2022
Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry (Suppl)
Implant-related complications are a fact of life among practitioners who place or restore implants. They occur for a variety of reasons with varying consequences. Those classified as minor complications are most easily corrected and may have little impact on the course of treatment, but severe complications can have serious consequence in expense, complexity, and ultimate success. Many severe complications may be irreversible, leaving the patient with less desirable esthetic options, or worse, permanent disability in terms of speech and function. While various members of the dental team may have different points of view, implant complications are a concern to all. Successful results require comprehensive care, collaborative treatment, and knowledge of dental implant complications. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the patient that all involved in treatment be aware of the different types of complications that can be experienced and learn how to work together as a team to achieve successful outcomes.

Implant related complications and failures fall into several main categories: surgical, biological, prosthetic, mechanical, esthetic, and those related augmentation procedures, placement, and loading.1 While complications concern all members of the dental team, periodontists are trained to focus on biological complications, while their restorative colleagues are most familiar with prosthetic and mechanical complications. Therefore, the focus of this discussion from a periodontal point of view will be on implant loss or failure, peri-implantitis, dehiscence, and recession, as well as implant malposition. It also will stress the importance of working together as a team to recognize and manage dental implant complications.
Classification of Complications
Implant related complications may be classified as minor, intermediate, major reversible/nonreversible, or major nonreversible. For example, a simple complication like a fractured abutment screw is usually considered a minor complication. It usually can be corrected with minimal cost, time, pain, and inconvenience. Treatment may be more involved for an intermediate complication such as a fractured implant (Figure 1). Up the severity scale are major complications, such as when an implant migrates into the sinus2 (Figure 2), or is exposed by mucosa and bone loss and visible to the patient a year after restoration (Figure 3 and Figure 4). Major complications may cause irreversible damage and/or require multiple procedures to try to make the patient "whole," adding cost, time, pain, and surgeries (Figure 5 and Figure 6), and the patient may or may not receive the original restoration.
The literature describes a major nonreversible complication of numbness after implant placement due to damage to the alveolar nerve (Figure 7). Articles by Misch and Resnik,3 Alhassani and AlGhamdi,4 and most recently by Renton and Yilmaz5 discuss treatment of neurosensory complications. A case by Kan and others6 published in 1997 described another major complication of fracture of the mandible that occurred after an endosseous implant was placed in conjunction with an inferior nerve transposition.
Incidence/Prevalence of Complications
Doctors who have never experienced implant failures or complications likely either have not performed enough of them or their patients are seeing another doctor for treatment of the problems they experience. In 2010, Steve Eckert, editor-in-chief of International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Facial Implants, wrote: "I believe that the study and elimination of complications is the most fertile field in implant dentistry at this time."7 The concern was also reflected in the 2010 guidelines published by the Academy of Osseointegration for those placing or restoring an implant: "In particular, the ability of a practitioner to predict, recognize, and treat complications arising from treatment is of paramount importance."8 The latter was cited as the "legal standard."
While many are concerned about the incidence of implant complications (that is, the number of new cases that occur during a given period of time), it is its prevalence—ie, the total number of cases of a disease that exist—that is a better reflection of the problem, mainly because complications may take many years to become apparent.
Studies by Pjertursson et al9,10 found that 38.7% of patients had complications in the first 5 years after implantation; and that implant-supported complications occurred at more than double the rate of the tooth-supported complications. After a total of 10 years in function, Lang et al11 found biological and technical complications occurred in about 50% of the cases.11 These findings suggest that one out of every two patients who receive implant restorations will eventually experience complications.
Biologic Complications: Implant Failure
A biologic complication of great concern is implant failure. Examining 14 trials over a period of 2 to 16 years, Paquette found an overall mean implant survival rate of 94.4% with a range between 76% and 98.7%, meaning that 1% to 24% of the implants failed.12 No differences were observed between the various types of implants for implant failure, but Esposito et al concluded that machined surface implants appeared to be less prone to peri-implantitis, compared to rough surface implants.13 Different surgical techniques (ie, early, immediate, or delayed) in placing dental implants do not appear to be associated with different survival rates, according to Coulthard et al.14
Perhaps most worrisome about implant failure is that most practitioners agree that replacement implants and replacement restorations rarely measure up to the esthetics achieved with the original implant restorations. Whether it is the reasons for the failure or its aftermath—loss of bone, tissue, and blood supply—research shows that the survival rate of the replacement implants drops progressively with each replacement. A study by Grossman and Levin of failed implants replaced by a similar implants in the same location reported a 71% survival rate.15 As for third attempts to place implants in sites where previous surgeries have failed, Machtei et al reported a 60% survival.16
A so-called "cluster effect"—ie, more than one implant failure per patient, which was not necessarily in the same area or quadrant—was discussed in the work of Schwartz-Arad et al,17 who reported that one-third (32.8%) of the patients in which 56.6% of all failures were found exhibited this cluster pattern in failures that occurred both in the surgical and prosthetic phases.
Causes of Failure
Signs of early failure requiring implant removal include mobility, pain, pathology, and/or radiolucency. Early (preprosthetic) implant failure has five possible primary causes: overheating of the bone, lack of initial stability, underpreparation of the osteotomy, overpreparation of the osteotomy, or contamination of the implant surface. Late (post-loading) failure is caused primarily by implant overload, parafunction issues, peri-implantitis, and implant malposition. It follows that strategies for avoiding these complications involve avoidance of the foreseeable problems, such as by limiting micromotion to <50 um, observing surgical guidelines related to site preparation and hygiene, taking care to keep the drill and bone temperature cool during implant insertion, avoiding overload—especially in poor quality bone and with early loading protocols—and considering issues of parafunction/temporization.
Post-loading Failure
The four categories of post-loading failure include: occlusal overload, dehiscence and recession, implant malposition, and peri-implantitis.
Occlusal Overload
The occlusal overload topic remains controversial. In 2006, Isidor18 reported an association between the loading conditions and marginal bone loss around implants, but a causal relationship has not been shown. However, it seems obvious to this author that overload means a case is under-engineered and does not offer sufficient support for the implant in function, particularly in cases where parafunctional habits (ie, bruxing, clenching) exist.
Dehiscence, Recession, Poor Implant Position
The biological problems of dehiscence and recession usually occur because of poor implant position. Poor implant positioning is not just an esthetic problem, it can damage adjacent teeth or vital structures. Its causes are generally due to poor planning and poor surgical technique. Prevention of this complication requires proper collaborative surgical/prosthetic planning—ie, mounted study models; surgical guides prepared from ideal wax-ups; use of properly designed implants (tapered, short, narrow diameter)—and proper surgical and restorative experience and execution.
The implant of the patient shown in Figure 8 demonstrated all three of the red flag situations: it was placed too far buccally, had inadequate bone and soft tissue at the time of implant placement, and lost bone and soft tissue post implant placement. Correcting this required increased time, cost, and surgeries (Figure 9).
Prevention of this type of complication requires collaboration between the periodontist and the restorative dentist in the planning phase, and proper collaboration in the surgical placement, and in the restoration of the implants. No one member of the dental team can do it alone.
The topic of peri-implantitis is often fraught with confusion, mainly due the definitions and overlapping symptoms it shares with peri-implant mucositis.19 According to the First European Workshop on Periodontology—1993, peri-implant mucositis is a term used to describe a reversible inflammatory reaction in the mucosa adjacent to an implant, whereas the definition of peri-implantitis is an inflammatory process that affects the tissues around an osseointegrated implant in function and results in loss of supporting bone.20 In 2008, at the Sixth European Workshop on Periodontology, Lindhe and Meyle revised these definitions to determine that a diagnosis of peri-implant mucositis should be based on the parameters of bleeding upon probing without loss of supporting bone, while the diagnosis of peri-implantitis should include both bleeding upon probing and detectable bone loss after 1 year in function.21
Ultimately, the consequences of peri-implantitis, as defined above—with both inflammation in the soft tissue and bone loss—are far more serious. Moreover, if the bone loss is not treated, the implant will fail. This was discussed in 2012 by Tomasi and Derks, who used the revised definition by Lindhe and Meyle.21,22
David Cochran, DDS, has referred to peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis as "convenient diseases" while questioning whether they are diseases at all. He wrote, "While these might be catchy and convenient terms, their use and implication are fraught with huge assumptions. Are these really diseases, and if so, why aren't their definitions so obvious? They certainly imply that they are similar to gingivitis and periodontitis but is this misleading and or convenient. Why can't we simply and more accurately call it like we see it? The fact is, we are observing conditions where there is peri-implant inflammation with and without bone loss."23
In support of Cochran's observations, dog studies by Lindhe et al in 1992,24 Marinello et al in 1995,25 Ericsson et al in 1996, 26 and Persson et al in 199627 found that peri-implantitis may not develop in all peri-implant sites with mucositis, just as periodontitis may not develop in all sites with gingivitis. As demonstrated by the lesions studied by Lindhe et al24 in plaque-associated peri-implant tissues in dogs, if allowed to progress, the lesions lead to loss of the implant.
Therefore, for purposes of simplification, and in line with previous published literature, the author will refer to peri-implant inflammation with bone loss (PII w/BL) as peri-implantitis and peri-implant inflammation without bone loss (PII w/o BL) as mucositis.
The proven principle behind mucositis (PII w/o BL)—that is, the existence of a cause-and-effect relationship between bacterial plaque and developing mucositis—was demonstrated for oral implants in separate studies by Pontoriero et al28 and Salvi et al,29 who had patients refrain from oral hygiene for a period of 3 weeks, after which time both the teeth and the implants developed gingivitis and mucositis. That the condition is reversible was also demonstrated in those same studies in which the tissues were returned to health after regular oral hygiene was resumed.28,29
Prevalence of peri-implant mucositis (which is reversible through removal of the biofilm and accretions) ranges from 33% to 66%, according to several studies, cited in the work of Tomasi and Derks,22 which also reported the prevalence of peri-implantitis to range from 8.9% to 47% of the subjects studied.
Koldsland et al30 suggested that a clearer picture of the prevalence of peri-implantitis can be gained by establishing a threshold for bone loss. While defining peri-implantitis using the Albrektsson criteria31—that is, greater than 0.2 mm bone loss per year after the first year—places the prevalence of patients who will develop peri-implantitis at 47.1%. Changing the definitive amount of bone loss to 3 mm or more after the first year reduces the prevalence to 11.3%.30
Given the amount of confusion that surrounds definitions of these oral conditions and confounds useful characterization of their prevalence, the author and Paul Rosen, in 2012,32 sought to establish a standard peri-implantitis classification system differentiating early, moderate, and severe disease based on bone loss. In all cases, these classifications assume pocket depths of 4 mm or greater and bleeding on probing or suppuration. When bone loss as shown on x-rays is present up to 25% of implant length, the disease is classified as early peri-implantitis; 25% to 50% is moderate peri-implantitis; and greater than 50% of implant length is classified as severe/advanced peri-implantitis. These delineations are not only useful for determining prevalence, they also have implications for treatment, which should be rendered without delay when caused by bacterial contamination combined with a compromised host response. An approach involving regenerative therapy that is described by the author, Dr. Stuart Froum, Dr. Scott Froum, and Dr. Paul Rosen, seeks to resolve the inflammation; promote soft tissue and bone formation; and promote re-osseointegration.33
The Importance of Good Hygiene
Among the seven risk factors for peri-implantitis identified by the Sixth European Workshop, the one deemed most important by the author is poor oral hygiene. Noting that both peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are caused by bacteria, according to two reports that studied disease prevalence, peri-implant mucositis occurred in about 80% of subjects (50% of sites) restored with implants, and peri-implantitis in 28% and 56% of subjects (corresponding to 12% and 40% of sites).21
Because oral hygiene is so important, treatment planning should take into consideration restorative design that can impact hygiene. A case controlled study by Serino and Strom found that 48% of implants that had no accessibility or capability for proper oral hygiene were affected by peri-implantitis, compared to only 4% with accessibility.34
It is essential to consider hygiene both in terms of in office professional care and at-home preventive maintenance. A 5-year follow-up study by Costa et al found that without preventive maintenance, patients with pre-existing peri-implant mucositis had a 44% higher incidence of peri-implantitis.35
From these studies, it can be concluded that to maximize oral hygiene and thereby minimize the risk of developing peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, patients must be able to clean the implant-supported restorations placed and these patients should be urged to comply with recommended recall visits during which hygiene and peri-implant health can be professionally maintained and monitored.
The growing prevalence of dental implant complications stands to create a crisis of confidence that could set back the significant strides made in the field of implantology and hinder patients' access to this treatment option. Dentists who lose confidence in the implant option could make the mistake of returning to limiting restorations to teeth rather than utilizing an implant option; patients who lose confidence could turn to lawyers, rather than doctors; and third-party control of treatment plans that include implant restorations could result in denial of implant options that may be considered risky and expensive by non-dentists or dentists with limited implant experience.
To prevent this from happening, dentists should make every effort to prevent complications from occurring. This requires knowledge of the causes of complications together with proper collaboration between the periodontist and the restorative dentist, not only on planning, but also in execution of proper treatment. Dentists should adhere to complete planning from top down utilizing surgical and radiographic guides, wax-ups, and scans. They should ensure proper implant spacing, with adequate embrasures. They should prevent and/or treat peri-implant mucositis by removing biofilm and accretions and reinforcing proper hygiene procedures. Finally, to prevent complications from becoming more complicated, they should know what to do when things go wrong. This includes removing excess cement (with lidocaine); when necessary redoing the prosthesis with adequate embrasures; avoiding splints when feasible; re-preparing abutments with adequate room for maintenance between them; and redoing ill-fitting implant-supported restorations. Most importantly, working together to optimize implant placement and restoration helps achieve successful results while minimizing potential complications. When complications do occur, their resolution is again best accomplished by collaborative treatment between the periodontist and restorative dentist.

What's the secret to The Rock's success?
Dwayne Johnson, star of the newly released blockbuster Rampage, is the world's biggest movie star. Could his Crossrail-tunnel-proportioned arms take him even further?
Dwayne Johnson is big. Really big. The WWE wrestler-turned-Hollywood star is 6ft 4in, a solid 250lb-worth of hunk – a muscular alpha monument of a guy, much like the "Brahma bull" logo which he has tattooed on to one of his Crossrail-tunnel-proportioned arms.
Yet his shaven head, which he has sported for some years now, also gives him a kind of Buddha-like calm to go with the bulk, an easy geniality that makes him castable in family adventures and action comedies. Aged 45, he is up at 5am every day to work out for at least a couple of hours, a regime he inherited from his dad, Rocky Johnson, himself a professional wrestler, from whom Johnson adapted his wrestling name – The Rock. Johnson is of impeccable wrestling lineage. His Samoan grandfather, Peter Maivia, was a legend among wrestling fans.
And Johnson is big in another way. He is now simply the world's biggest movie star. In 2015, his films reportedly made $1.488bn at the box office . In an industry which desperately needs tentpole stars and above-the-title players, people whose simple presence can "open" a movie, Johnson is a prince. As he today opens his new, outrageously silly extravaganza, Rampage, Johnson is entering his celebrity prime, now confident enough to discuss his problems with depression, his tough upbringing and the agony of witnessing his mother's attempt at taking her own life after they were evicted from their apartment when he was a teenager.
But how did this happen? What exactly has he done? Has he ever made any good films? It is difficult to pin down quite what roles Johnson has made his own. Arnie had The Terminator, Sylvester had Rambo and Rocky, Bruce had Die Hard and, these days, Tom has Mission: Impossible. But Dwayne isn't like that, and he's not a classic action star, either. He has spread his career and brand identity into a wider portfolio of genres and franchise properties, and the return on these has collectively added up to a colossal amount of celebrity clout.
Like Arnie with Conan the Barbarian, Johnson began by parleying his muscles into a "mythic" role. He was The Scorpion King in 2002, a role spun off from his small part in The Mummy Returns the year before. Johnson made action movies such as The Rundown in 2003 and the not-much-liked Doom in 2005, based on a video game. He had a brief and very surreal flirtation with auteur-arthouse, making his debut at the Cannes film festival in Richard Kelly's cult movie Southland Tales in 2007, alongside Seann William Scott. But his career takeoff really came at the end of the decade, when he made his debut in the fifth movie in the petrolhead Fast and Furious franchise, playing Luke Hobbs, the Government agent dedicated to taking on Vin Diesel's daredevil criminal Dominic "Dom" Toretto. Johnson siphoned off the huge popularity of these movies into his own career petrol tank. But he also played the lead in Disney's Race To Witch Mountain, the action-adventure remake of the 1975 film Escape To Witch Mountain. And if you've got tweenage children and they've ever had a sleepover, with a DVD being put on, then you will have witnessed the awesome power of this film. Johnson is a lovable dad.
His secret is that he didn't go down the pure action route, still less the "Hulk" blind alley suffered by someone like, say, Lou Ferrigno. Like Arnie, he is self-aware and good-natured enough to play comedy and family-oriented movies – but, unlike Arnie, it wasn't a matter of irony or sending himself up. With his open, wide-eyed face and unassuming, essentially unaggressive persona, he could carry it off. And he can be funny — developing a genuinely successful odd-couple double-act with the standup Kevin Hart in the films Central Intelligence and Jumani: Welcome To The Jungle. They are like Schwarzenegger and DeVito in Twins. He is the action Dean Martin to Kevin's Jerry Lewis. He is also working on a double-act spinoff from Fast and Furious with Jason Statham, and he cheerfully declares they will be called "Dwaytham".
For Johnson, being a nice guy is a central part of his persona. But it wasn't always like this. As a college football star at the University of Miami, he had a ferocious temper, and was always getting into fights. In his wrestling career in the 90s and early 00s, Johnson was originally cast as the "heel", the bad guy, always trash-talking and insulting his opponents – including that other wrestler-turned-actor, John Cena. And even now, in his movie career, we have seen flashes of Johnson's dark side. "Vin and I had a few discussions, including an important face-to-face in my trailer," Johnson icily told Rolling Stone of an incident during the filming of Fast and Furious. "And what I came to realise is that we have a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach movie-making and collaborating." Quite a paraphrase.
For the moment, The Rock is the colossus of the industry. Will he progress to something more solid? Does he even need to? As he grows into character roles, Johnson might have something bigger to show us before he taps out. He has spoken about how he hopes one day to host the Oscars … maybe even win an Oscar. And, last May, while hosting Saturday Night Live, he announced his bid for the US presidency in 2020, with Tom Hanks as his running mate. Of course, he was just kidding. Or was he?

Home Society and History ➞ Zoroastrian Funeral Practice at the Towers of Silence
ly ly December 8, 2019 0 comment
Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest religions that survive in modern times. Like many other religions, Zoroastrianism guides the followers to do more good to life and believe in their High One. The Zoroastrian Funeral Practice not only presents an air of mystery about this religion but also reflects their care towards the environment.
So how did the fellows of Zoroastrianism treat the corpses? According to the surviving sources, they would expose the dead bodies to the scavenging animals. Many scholars believe that this practice dated back to the 5th century.
Zoroastrian Funeral Practice and the Environment
In the belief of the Zoroastrian followers, four elements – fire, water, earth, and air – are the most sacred in the cosmos. No one and nothing in the cosmos would pollute these elements. And they would do anything in order to prevent the pollution. For example, the cremation would cause pollution to the fire, air, and river water. Burial would cause pollution to land and groundwater.
So the solution to this was to dispose of the corpse. There are some other ways to dispose the corpse but leaving them to the scavenging animals was the reason why the Zoroastrians built their Towers of Silence.
The vultures on the Tower of Silence
The Towers of Silence
So the towers of silence that the archaeologists find these days might resemble the ancient ones. They were constructed with three circles within. The bodies of the men would lie on the outer circle, the women in the middle and the children in the inner circle.
Inside the Zoroastrian Tower of Silence
When a person was gone, the Zoroastrians would bring the corpse to the tower. There, the vultures would eat the flesh. Some sources said that the vultures could finish all of the corpses within less than an hour as long as they were present in adequate numbers.
The remaining bones on the tower would just be left there to dry. The sun would bleach them as well. The Zoroastrians believed that the process of flesh stripped and bones dry was a purification process. The bones then might be located in an ossuary somewhere near the tower. Alternatively, the bones would be put in the central well on the tower.
This Zoroastrian funeral practice, of course, meets with many disapproval in modern times. During the 1970s, the government in Iran banned this funerary practice.
Meanwhile, some other regions face a challenge of the depopulation of vultures. The decline of the vulture population is because people feed the vultures in many parts with Diclofenac which is a type of painkiller. This made the vultures suffer irreversible kidney failure causing their death.


I will be part of an exciting new art show opening March 1st at the LTD. Art Gallery in Seattle, titled 'George R. R. Martin presents WINTER IS COMING - Art Inspired by A Song of Ice and Fire' - Yes, this is very much the same series that inspired HBO's Game of Thrones.
The image on the left is a preview of my oil painting in the show. Anyone who has read the book (or seen the series) will be able to identify the character in the image.
If you are in Seattle, come see the show which runs till March 23rd. The show will also be presented inside the Emerald City Comicon at the end of March.

Nigeria // Port News
Why Lekki Deep Seaport should avoid pitfalls of Lagos ports by stakeholders
Lekki Deep Seaport, Lagos.
As President Muhammadu Buhari commissions the Lekki Deep Seaport in January 2023, stakeholders in the maritime sector have called on government to articulate plans to ensure the port operate within a sustained serene district.
This is because there are concerns that the Lekki Deep Seaport may make life miserable for residents and businesses around the Lekki area of Lagos if appropriate facilities to aid easy cargo evacuation were not put in place.
The stakeholders, who spoke at the one-day retreat organised by the League of Maritime Editors (LOME) on the theme: 'Lekki Deep Seaport: Identifying Gains, Challenges and Potential Threat to Lagos Ports', urged government to urgently provide seamless hinterland connectivity for the port.
Speaking at the forum, Managing Director, Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) Mohammed Bello-Koko, said that though the port may face constraints of hinterland connectivity now, efforts are in top gear to provide infrastructures to ensure smooth operations.
He said: "With the immense benefits that the Lekki Deep Seaport hope to offer in changing the landscape of port operations, there is the constraints of hinterland connectivity. This is considered a fundamental flaw of the planning process.
"It is important to note that port is segmented into two: there is the aspect of maritime space and hinterland connectivity for cargo evacuation. While the attention has been on maritime space, there is complete neglect of hinterland connectivity.
"This is likely to be an albatross for the optimisation of the benefits of the project's investment as well as efficiency of the port operations. For instance, there is no rail connectivity, even when the road connection is grossly inadequate.
"The only way out is to embrace barge operations in the short-run. This does not forecloses the need for multi-modalism and inter-modalism that should guarantee the fluidity of cargo evacuation and ultimately efficiency of port operations," he said.
Bello-Koko, who was represented by Mr. Ago Durowaiye said that the commencement of operation in the port in the first quarter of 2023 will be a game changer, not only to Nigeria, but the entire West Africa.
He said that the efficiency will be very high and operators will minimise operational cost using the port.
Bello-Koko allayed fears that the Lagos ports will automatically die because of the Lekki port. He said that the Lekki port is not a threat to any of the existing ports in Lagos.
According to him, the existing port will function as a feeder port, because they are river ports and will also serve as regional port to serve cargoes of their catchment areas.
The Chairman, Shipping Terminal Operators Association of Nigeria (STOAN), Princess Vicky Haastrup, represented by the Chief Executive Officer, Ships and Ports Communications, Bolaji Akinola, said that government and stakeholders should ensure that past mistakes are not repeated in trying to resolve issues bedeviling the industry.
Haastrup said that it is getting too late to address the issues of encroachment and congestion around Lekki port, noting that almost all the lands around the port and the Free Trade Zone have been bought.
She said that ab-initio, a rail should have been planned along with the port, while barges should have been mandated on the port. "With the commencement of port operations, and cargo evacuation activities that road network will be locked, making life difficult for people living in that axis."
The Chairman, League of Maritime Editors (LOME), Timothy Okorocha, said that there was need to fully drive the blueprint and its support system to realise the economic projections of the new Lekki Deep Seaport.
He also stated that there is need to have a comprehensive overview of the new and old port systems, not just to strengthen future decision making, but also to interrogate the possibility of future seamless interconnectivity.
"We all know that the major challenge of the old Lagos ports has to do with space and the logistics value chain. Fifty years from today, will the Lekki Deep Seaport still be as attractive in operation as it is presently is on paper and conception?
"It will be necessary to remind the operators of the Lekki Deep Seaport to begin early to articulate plans to sustain and maintain a strict port district devoid of encroachments, whether municipal or industrial, environmental or physical to avoid the Lagos ports mistakes," he said.

The last month has seen a number of major anniversaries for Rugby League. August 29th saw the 125th anniversary of the meeting at The George Hotel in Huddersfield, which led to the breakaway of clubs from the Rugby Football Union and, consequently the formation of the sport of Rugby League.
September 14th saw the 40th anniversary of Fulham's first game, beating the recently relegated Wigan at Craven Cottage.
Fifteen years later to the day, the Student Rugby League Old, won the Hemel 10s, a competition that preceded the start of the season for the sport in the south of England. Indeed the sport as a whole played their games from August through to May, the summer game only coming in 1996.
The Student Rugby League Old Boys became London Skolars and we're proud to celebrate our 25th anniversary, even if we can't celebrate it the way we'd intended at the start of 2020.
The club had warmed up for the start of the London League season with three pre-season friendlies. Maybe anticipating the long journeys they'd have to make in later seasons, the first pre-season friendly was in Cumbria against Broughton Red Rose on August 3rd. The Cumbrian connection came through John Risman, who played full-back for Fulham in their first game and along with his brother Bev did much for the game in the capital, especially the student game.
Elsewhere in the world of Rugby League at that time, Hunter Mariners were launched in Australia, Nottingham dropped out of the National Conference League in the close season, Northampton doing so early into the season, and the sport as a whole was coming to terms with the impending move of the professional game in the UK to summer. The centenary season also saw the Royal Mail issue a set of commemorative stamps, including one of the Risman's father Gus, who was one the first players inducted into the Rugby League Hall of Fame after an illustrious career for Salford, Wigan, Wales and Great Britain.
We don't have a record of who scored in the 22-12 defeat, but the report in the Hackney Gazette name checked winger Mark Ruffaro as the man-of-the match and the report carried an appeal for more players. The following week saw a trial game against East London. Charlie Oyebade scored a hat-trick in the 52-12 win over East London. September saw a 62-18 win in a friendly against Ealing.
That was followed by the Hemel 10s, a pre-cursor of the 9s competitions that developed at the start of this century. Charlie Oyebade was the player of the tournament, with the Old Boys beating Fulham Travellers in the final.
The picture commemorating the win shows the side still waiting for their first kit. Like many of the pictures of that era, there is one significant person missing. Club founder Hector McNeil was taking the picture. Two of the players in that squad went onto play in Skolars' first season in the professional ranks eight years later, Oyebade and Bobby Brown.
We'll be posting match reports from the inaugural 1995/96 season over the next few months, along with a few other memories and viewpoints.
If you have any details of that first season, or any photos or memories, please send then to info@skolarsrl.com. We'd love to hear from you.

L to R, back row: Mark Ruffaro, Alan Knight, Martin Snell, Jason Samuel, Hakeem Ashorobi, Nigel Kitching, Darren Williams, Gabriel Parker.
