Q: Subsetting a matrix by row names and column names in R I have a symmetric matrix that looks like this (this is a relationship matrix between 6 animals):
     AN1   AN2   AN3   AN4   AN5   AN6
AN1   1    0.5    0   0.25    0    0.5
AN2  0.5    1     0    0.5    0     0
AN3   0     0     1   0.25    0     0
AN4  0.25  0.5  0.25    1    0.5    0
AN5   0     0     0    0.5    1     0
AN6  0.5    0     0     0     0     1

I would like to subset this matrix and select only some animals stored in a 1 dimension dataframe. Here is the matrix that I would like:
     AN1   AN3   AN6
AN1   1     0    0.5
AN3   0     1     0
AN6  0.5    1     1

Here is what I tried:
list_individuals <- as.list(df['ID'])  # create list from the dataframe (the list contains the animals that I want to extract from the matrix: AN1, AN3 and AN6)
matrix2 <- subset(original_maxtrix, rownames(original_maxtrix) %in% list_individuals[["ID"]])
matrix3 <- subset(matrix2, colnames(matrix2) %in% list_individuals[["ID"]])

But I have an issue when selecting the columns (last code line): Error in x[subset & !is.na(subset), vars, drop = drop] :
(subscript) logical subscript too long
What am I missing here?

A: Try to filter rows and columns in this way:
matrix[rownames(matrix)%in%list_individuals,colnames(matrix)%in%list_individuals]

Only rows and columns contained in list_individuals will be mantained in the output.

My Inner thought process on display.
The winter is moving over and making for the summery hot days pretty soon.And we had some unprecedented rains which took us by surprise and gave us all some really sore throats.This tea is to soothe those horrid throats.This chukku (dry ginger) kaapi(coffee)- an easy and effective home remedy for cold, is made out of palm jaggery which is also an excellent source of calcium and lots of other stuff.
Crush all the above in a blender and add it to the water and let it boil down to half the original quantity.
Sieve and drink hot to soothe that hurting throat.
You can increase or decrease the ingredients to suit your taste.But its more effective if you drink it regularly for a few days and make it more strong.You can add tulsi leaves to this too.
Rita thanks for the quickie reply.
lovely clicks and remedy too.


Iraqi fighters have not mounted "a coherent defence" and major combat there is essentially over, a US Army major general said today.
The presidential palace was seized without a fight, the military said, and large numbers of US troops were visible in the afternoon in central Tikrit.
"There was less resistance than we anticipated," said Brigadier-General Vincent Brooks, US Central Command spokesman, noting that Tikrit's defenders had been subjected to punishing airstrikes over the past several days.
He said Marines attacked Tikrit from the south, west and north, capturing a key Tigris River bridge in the centre of town.
"I think we will move into a phase where it is smaller, but sharp fights," Major General Stanley McChrystal told reporters during a US Defence Department briefing.
Two US Navy aircraft carriers and the ships in their battle groups will leave the Persian Gulf this week and return to their home ports, he added.
While there is still a lot of work to be done, McChrystal said: "I would anticipate that the major combat operations are over."
Also, there have been no positive test results on the suspected chemical weapons found by coalition forces, McChrystal said.
Even so, the hunt for chemical and biological weapons or nuclear materials is rising on the priority list for American troops. There are more potential nuclear, biological or chemical weapons sites in Iraq than US military teams to check them, Pentagon officials said yesterday.
The departure of the USS Kitty Hawk and the USS Constellation reflects a winding down of the air campaign, although the Pentagon is still sending more ground forces to Kuwait and Iraq.
McChrystal said today was the last day that aircraft from all five carriers would fly missions over Iraq. The number of missions flown is down to about 800 a day, with fewer than 200 precision-guided bombs and missiles dropped.
The US Army's 1st Armoured Division is moving its equipment to ports for shipment to the Gulf region, and its troops will follow by air in a couple of weeks, a division spokesman, Major Scott Slaten, said today.
The division is sending two armoured brigades and one aviation brigade from bases in Germany, and one brigade is going from its base in Kansas, Slaten said.
It is not clear whether one of the army divisions already in Iraq will leave once the 1st Armoured gets there.
Also, soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division, recently arrived in Kuwait from Fort Hood, Texas, crossed the border into Iraq today. First to go were two convoys of about 500 tanks and other vehicles. It was not clear whether their destination was Baghdad or northern Iraq.
The Kitty Hawk will return to its base at Yokosuka, Japan, and the Constellation will return to California, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The United States will also be focusing on unfinished business from the 1991 Gulf war. A team of experts from the Defence Intelligence Agency and the Central Intelligence Agency have arrived in the Gulf region to search for clues to the fate of Navy pilot Michael Scott Speicher, who was shot down on the first night of that war, US defence and intelligence officials said today.
The Pentagon originally declared Speicher killed in action, but changed his status to missing in action, then to "missing captured," after an Iraqi defector and others reported that an American was being held in Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's prison system.

What type of reaction is a lava lamp?
What kind of chemical reaction is a lava lamp?
Are lava lamps chemical or physical change?
What is a lava lamps heat transfer?
Is a lava lamp a homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?
What is the name of the chemical reaction?
Why is lava a chemical change?
When you drop an Alka–Seltzer tablet into the glass, it sinks to the bottom. It sinks straight through the oil without any chemical reactions occurring. When it touches the water, however, a chemical reaction occurs that releases carbon dioxide gas bubbles.
We made a lava lamp. It was a chemical change because you can't change it back to oil, water and barocka's!!!
A lava lamp consists of oil, and wax in a glass, and a heat source (a light bulb) placed underneath the glass. When the lamp is turned on the bulb gets hot. … Conduction is heat transfer between two objects that are touching each other. As the wax heats up it begins to melt and become less dense than the surrounding oil.
The lava lamp shows in an esthetic way that heterogeneous systems are composed of several phases―here two―at whose interfaces the physical-chemical properties change abruptly.
The five basic types of chemical reactions are combination, decomposition, single-replacement, double-replacement, and combustion.
Therefore, the correct answer is "The lava can cool back into rock." According to the Law of Conservation of Mass, mass cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, when solid rock changes into liquid rock, the mass of the rock does not change. … Burning of lava is an example of a chemical change.
IT IS AMAZING: What must you avoid when handling halogen bulbs?

Mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) is a test used by pharmaceutical and biotech organizations to show the safety of a drug or implantable material. It is commonly used as part of the FDA clearance process. Put simply, it is mixing populations of T-lymphocytes (category of white blood cells) together, and measuring the reaction that occurs. Technically, it is an ex-vivo cellular immune assay that occurs between two allogeneic lymphocyte populations (same species but genetically distinct). In a one-way MLR, only one lymphocyte population can respond or proliferate. In a two-way MLR, both populations can proliferate.  MLR's are performed to assess how T-cells react to external stimuli. T cells are a type of white blood cell that scans for cellular abnormalities and infections. They are essential to human immunity.

History & background
The MLR was first recognized when researchers mixed leukocytes from two unrelated donors in culture.  After several days, lymphocytes underwent blast transformation, DNA synthesis and cellular proliferation in response to the major histocompatibility antigen (MHC Class I and II) differences between the two cell populations designated as Responder and Stimulator cells.  Responder cells proliferated without previous exposure to Stimulator MHC antigens. This response became quantifiable when incorporating radioactive [3H] labelled thymidine or 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU), into the mixed cell suspension.  This cellular response to the histocompatibility antigens that occurs in the MLR is also involved in cell-mediated immune responses within an individual and offered an in vitro correlate of cellular immune function.  Standard MLR assays were performed in humans and most other animal species.

The leukocyte subpopulations involved in the MLR were first characterized by using cells from neonatally thymectomized and bursectomized chickens. No MLR occurred when the Responder cells came from thymectomized animals, whereas bursectomized chicken leukocytes reacted in culture demonstrating that T-cells were the major cell type in Responder cell populations.

Originally, this assay was used to study possible donor — recipient incompatibilities for graft transplants to help predict better outcomes.  However, the standard for graft matching now depends on a series of HLA-matching done with molecular typing methods.

Principle
The assay set-up consists of purifying responder lymphocytes from peripheral blood, thymus, lymph nodes or spleen and co-culturing with stimulator cells. Stimulator cell populations that also contain T-cells (Two way mixed lymphocyte reaction) will replicate in the presence of the Responder cells, therefore for a One way mixed lymphocyte reaction, stimulator cells are prevented from replicating by irradiation or treatment with mitomycin C, a DNA crosslinker to prevent cell replication.  Maximum measurable cellular proliferation occurs around 5–7 days.

Applications
For research purposes, the MLR cell-based assay continues to provide an in vitro correlate of T cell function. Further characterization of the lymphocytes, accessory cells (dendritic cells, macrophage) and cytokines that participate in the MLR have been done as this assay continues to be used to define mechanisms for understanding cellular immune function in vitro.

Sirak Hakobyan (en ) est un boxeur français né le  à Gyumri en Arménie. Il obtient la ceinture de champion méditerranéen WBC des poids welters le .

Carrière
Surnommé The Scud en référence à sa puissance de frappe, Sirak quitte l'Arménie à l'âge de 13 ans pour s'installer avec sa famille dans la ville de Châteauroux . Âgé de 14 ans, il fait ses débuts dans la boxe et dispute 24 rencontres chez les amateurs. Il en remporte 21 combats dont 4 avant la limite. À seulement 18 ans, il devient boxeur professionnel dans la catégorie des poids super-welters (moins de ) et entame cette nouvelle carrière dans le département de l'Indre en région Centre.

Suivi par deux entraîneurs, Bahi Bechergui et Kader Nemsaoui, Sirak connait des débuts difficiles car le jeune boxeur connaît sa première défaite lors de son premier combat professionnel le  face à Mike Vice.

S'ensuivent huit victoires consécutives face à des boxeurs quelques fois plus expérimentés que lui (Kelvin Arevalo, Joachim Elkaim, Antonin Gonel, Mahmoud Khayat, Samuel Boulogne, Philippe Donat, Mariusz Biskupski, Herman Ferdinand).

Le , à seulement 20 ans, Sirak dispute son  professionnel lors d'une grande soirée de boxe à Issoudun face au boxeur Bernard Follea. Au grand regret du public, il manqua la victoire aux points par décision partagée des 3 juges. Lors de cette même soirée, le boxeur Arsen Goulamirian, un ami proche de Sirak, devient alors champion de France face à David Radeff.

Cette défaite marqua le début d'une nouvelle vie pour The Scud. Il prend la décision de quitter sa ville de cœur pour rejoindre le Blagnac Boxing Club en Haute-Garonne afin d'être suivi par Mohammed Bennama qui a notamment formé Mahyar Monshipour, champion du monde des poids super-coqs WBA entre 2003 et 2006.

Le , il remet les gants face à Alain Alfred, un combat qui se terminera par un match nul. Sirak Hakobyan enchaîne ensuite neuf victoires consécutives face à : Nicolas Ladias, Mohamed Toubal, Sladjan Dragosic, Mifodzi Pilipenak, David Afonso Pereira, Konstantins Sakara, Salim Ben Rejeb, Romain Nemery et Gurami Kurtanidze, ce qui lui permet de remonter dans les classements afin de pouvoir disputer le titre de champion méditerranéen WBC des poids welters.

Le , il remporte ce titre face à Romain Nemery, champion de France de sa catégorie. Une grande fierté pour les supporters castel-roussins venus nombreux l'encourager dont le maire de Chateauroux Gil Avérous.

Le , Sirak dispute un nouveau combat pour tenter de décrocher la ceinture WBC des jeunes de moins de 25 ans, chez lui à Blagnac, face à Tomi Silvennoinen, boxeur finlandais expérimenté présentant plus de 180 combats amateurs et 9 combats professionnels pour seulement une défaite. C'est un adversaire imposé par la fédération WBC.
Alors qu'il domine le combat, il se fait surprendre par une droite qui l'envoie à terre à la fin de la . Sirak tente de se relever mais l'arbitre décide d'arrêter le combat par mesure de sécurité pour le boxeur. Un énorme coup dur pour le boxeur local.

Il essaie de relancer sa carrière en enchaînant très vite par deux victoires consécutives : le premier par KO en seulement 30 secondes face à Roland Hamar venu de Hongrie et le second face à Badri Gogichashvili le  au carreau du temple à Paris.

Après 4 mois d'attente, le boxeur franco-arménien remonte sur le ring le  à Cahors pour son 25e combat professionnel. . C'est face à un boxeur très coriace, venant tout droit de Georgie et qui a dernièrement surpris le champion de France avec un KO dès le premier round, qu'il remporte ce combat avant la limite à la fin de la 4éme reprise. Sirak Hakobyan devient n°1 Français dans les classements nationaux et prépare désormais un 26ème combat pour décrocher le titre de champion de France dans les mois à venir.

Q: How to transpose rows into columns of contact details without mixing them up? (Google Sheets) I have a data set of contact details where the emails and their names are scattered in rows, I would like to list them in 2 nice columns. I've tried using "paste special" and use this code below, but none of them worked.
This is how it looks like:

I've tried this code, but it only applies to one row, whereas I want to apply it to all rows and columns.
=transpose(A2:R2)

and
=transpose (A2:R300)

Both don't work. I hope somebody can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

A: It looks that you are using the wrong terms so you are using the wrong functions.
Apparently you have a cell with data separated by spaces and break lines and you want to have each email and name on it's own cell, having emails on one column and names on the next column.
One way to achieve that, first replace the separating spaces by using a character like | and the break lines by another different character like $.
Note: Some people use Unicode characters that are very unlikely to appear like ♦, ❤.
To do the above for break lines you could use FIND and REPLACE (Ctrl + H) or function formulas like REGEXREPLACE, SUBSTITUTE, and maybe others. As there are spaces used both as word separators and values separators, FIND and REPLACE can't be used easily. For a single cell, maybe the easier way is to insert the name/email separator manually.
Then separate the cell data. To do this you could use a formula function like SPLIT or Data > Separate values into columns.
Another way is by using Google Apps Script and JavaScript string handling methods but basically the algorithm is the same.

Puro Sound Labs volume limiting headphones Review and Giveaway 23
May 26, 2016 in competition / parenting / travelling with kids by Jen Walshaw
I recently learned that youth hearing loss was on the rise due to the increase in children wearing headphone and earbuds. As a Mum to two boys who often wear headphones as they want to watch or listen to different things this really concerned me. So we have been putting Puro Sound Labs volume limiting headphones to the test.
Puro Sound Labs volume limiting headphones Review
Wow, the headphones come in their own hard case to protect them. We have the white Puro Sound Labs volume limiting headphones and they are great looking headphones and the boys can not wait to give them a try. They also come with an adapter and USB charging cable, so I pop them on charge. Mini is the first to try them and he can not believe just how much of the background noise that they block, which is great as it means he doesn't need to have the volume turned up as loud as he normally would.
Not only do the Puro Sound Labs volume limiting headphones look great, they are really practical and effective too. We have mainly used them as Bluetooth headphones, but you can also use a cord. They paired to all the devices we tried easily (for both the boys and me) and have become the boys go to headphones.
We were really impressed by their noise reducing capability. They block out 82% of the background noise, which is great as it means that you do not have to turn the volume up loudly to drown out everyday noise. They have a volume limiter set at 85 dB which provides me as a parent with a great piece of mind.
However, I know from experience that as a parent you can not force your children to use a specific product. The great thing is that Puro has that covered. By ensuring that their headphones provide studio-grade audio quality and are great looking ensure that children including teens want to use them. They have done such a great job of making their headphones desirable that my boys have been fighting over them!
I am going to admit that initially I thought that £85 for a pair of headphones was excessive, however, having all used the Puro Sound Labs volume limiting headphones I can really see their value. So much so I have ordered a second pair so that the boys no longer have to fight over them.
Win your own set of Puro Sound Labs volume limiting headphones
I am delighted to have three, yes three pairs of Puro Sound Labs volume limiting headphones to give away. They really are great quality headphones perfectly pitched at kids. For more info on the Puro Sound Labs volumelimiting headphones, visit www.purosound.com. They are also available on Amazon for $79.99 and Amazon.co.uk for £79.99 and come in three colors.

Kids have always listened to music loudly (I know I did) but these days with new tech, tablets, phones etc and the media you can get on them, I'm not surprised hearing problems in children is on the rise. I think at £85 it's worth it to protect your children's hearing.
mama syder May 26, 2016 at 9:48 am
These look great. When I first left school I worked in a small factory where they tested, assembled and packed different headphones and the more expensive ones were definitely worth paying the extra pounds for because not only was the quality of the sound far better but they lasted longer than the cheaper headphones. I'm always more than happy to pay a bit extra for quality headphones x
Tasha May 26, 2016 at 10:18 am
We fly with a toddler so try and entertain her as much as possible with not a lot of movement so having some head phones that are volume limiting and also cordless would be amazing so she can move a bit and also play some games and watch shows and hopefully make an 9 hour flight a bit easier!!

I don't think that £85 is excessive – you get what you pay for and for the sound quality and comfort it'll be worth it. Glad they both have a pair, they look great!

Q: why data column shows as modelname object(1) when I refer foreign key? Django When I am trying to get data from the model the column which I refer foreign key shows as  object(value). why not value alone?..
say for example in y model i am using foreign key of x model column (id). it showing as x object(1) instead of 1.
How to solve it?

A: A ForeignKey will lazily load the object it refers to, so if you have a ForeignKey named foo that refers to the Foo model, it does not return the primary key of that Foo object, but the Foo object itself.
In the column it will call the __str__ on that object, and the default for the __str__ is the name of the model, with between brackets the primary key, so ModelName(pk) with ModelName the name of the model, and pk the primary key of the object.
You can change this behavior by overriding the __str__ method, for example:
class Foo(models.Model):
    # …

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.pk)
Where Foo is the class that is referenced by the ForeignKey, this is not (per se) the class where the ForeignKey is defined.
Usually __str__ however should not return the primary key, but for example the name of the object, or something similar.
If you want to use the value stored in the database as foreign key, you can use foo_id, with foo the name of the ForeignKey.

Data Classification: Building a Foundation for Data Security and Privacy
Visit us at https://www.spirion.com to view more videos on this topic. Data classification is a core component of defining and understanding data that security and risk professionals must protect, as well as identifying the way employees should handle it and the types of security controls that are necessary. Data classification tools, which include manual (user-driven) and automated classification, help organizations apply metadata tags to sensitive data. In the last year, more than half of global security decision makers have implemented data classification. What are their biggest challenges and what are options to overcome them? In this webinar, guest Forrester Senior Research Analyst Heidi Shey and Spirion COO AG Crum discusses what to look for when evaluating an enterprise-wide Data Classification implementation—whether you're exploring or have already implemented some form of data classification. Key takeaways:- * Core capabilities you must consider for effective data classification. * What constitutes sensitive data, which provides context for controls and policies. * How organizations can build a culture of data awareness and responsible data handling. * Closing the gaps in existing DLP classification implementations. Key metrics for building a business case and reporting your organization-wide risk posture. Who should attend: Information security and cyber security, also Information Officers including CIOs, Information Security Directors, Staff Attorneys, or anyone concerned with Privacy and Compliance

Whenever we think of a tooth extraction, most of us might think of wisdom teeth, but there are certain instances when a tooth extraction is necessary in cases of irreparable tooth damage.
At Manhattan Dental Care Studio we believe that it is the dentist's job to be as conservative as possible, so a tooth extraction will only be an option we'll consider when it presents the best possible solution for the patient's long-term oral health plan.
We might suggest a tooth extraction if a tooth has experienced severe decay, infection, to help clear a path for an impacted tooth, to prevent overcrowding, or as a method of treatment after an accident or trauma.
However, having a tooth extraction does not have to be a traumatic experience. We're happy to provide options to patients needing tooth extractions in Los Angeles, CA.
We provide a comfortable ambience at Manhattan Dental Care Studio, where the focus is put on you.
We begin our tooth extraction procedure by applying an anesthetic, which will numb the mouth and minimize any discomfort. For patients who experience anxiety, we can provide additional sedation techniques geared toward making the procedure as comfortable for you as possible.
A certain amount of bleeding, pain, and swelling is perfectly normal and will resolve quickly. We'll also provide all of the follow-up care you need to ensure the treatment is successful.
Contact Manhattan Dental Care Studio today if you believe that you're in need of a tooth extraction procedure in Los Angeles. Schedule your consultation and we'll get you back on the footpath to oral health success.
Science Advances recently published a paper linking Alzheimer's (AD) to periodontal disease (also known as gingivitis).
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia — a general term for memory loss or mental deterioration that can sometimes occur to patients later in their lifespan (during middle or more advanced ages). Alzheimer's accounts for over 60% of cases of dementia and is the most common cause of premature senility.
Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) spurs an increase in amyloid beta production, which is found in plaque that has been linked to Alzheimer's — this was found in lab animals orally infected with Pg.
The bacteria is believed to travel from the mouth to the brain while coinciding with two proteins that have also been associated with AD, ubiquitin and tau.
The fact that your oral health is inextricably linked to your overall health is nothing new. Gum disease also contributes to other health problems in addition to AD, conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and more. There is also a noted link between periodontal disease and overall mortality rates in advanced stages of life.
Although there isn't a study out there that says periodontal disease is the direct cause of Alzheimer's, it's worth mentioning that keeping a good oral health routine is your first line of defense against conditions that can really impede upon living a good quality of life down the road. Having healthy teeth and gums is an investment in your future, in more ways than one.
At Manhattan Dental Care Studio we believe in providing innovative oral health care, both general and preventive, that sets our patients up for a healthy, productive life.
By scheduling (and keeping) your biannual checkups and routine cleanings you'll give yourself a much higher chance of advancing through the many stages of life with good health intact, which means you'll save time, money, and hardship that comes along with living with a chronic condition.
Contact Manhattan Dental Care Studio today to schedule your consultation. We provide modern care for healthy gums and we have a long track record of keeping our patients healthy and well through our comprehensive dental treatments, services, and procedures.
As the new year approaches many of us make resolutions and set new goals — usually these goals have something to do with our vocations, our fitness, our health, maybe even learning a new skill of some sort.
Even though taking special care of your teeth and gums might seem like it's sort of low on the priority list for 2019, it's more important than ever to have a nice, sparkling set of pearly whites. Not only will having a sparkling, healthy open new doors for you in many realms, it will also help you maintain your overall health.
It's true. Study after study supports the idea that gum disease has been shown to be linked to all sorts of awful health problems like diabetes, heart disease, and more.
Read on for a few resolutions you can set that will help you stay on top of your oral health this year. You won't regret it!
Whether you're at work or at play, packing an extra travel brush will help you take care of your smile when it counts. When you're out and about eating and drinking, you're doing an inside job to your teeth that can create real problems down the road.
After eating any sort of sugary or acidic foods, make sure to wait 20-40 minutes before brushing, that way your mouth can neutralize the acids. Otherwise, you can do damage to your enamel. Brush and floss twice a day with a soft bristle toothbrush. Mouthwash is optional. Stay on top of your oral health routine because it's the cornerstone of a healthy smile.
Keeping your check-ups and oral health examinations at Manhattan Dental Care Studio twice a year will help you stay on top of any problems before they become more serious issues. We can clean away plaque and harmful bacteria that might be lingering — even after your diligent brushing.
This means staying away from sugary foods and candies. If you're going to eat almonds, try to opt for chopped. Drink plenty of water and stay away from sodas and carbonated beverages. Limit snacking in between meals and, as mentioned above, packing a travel toothbrush is always clutch. Try to be the designated driver when you can — it's the responsible choice and that old fashioned or Manhattan can really do a number on your teeth.
If you partake here and there, it happens. However, smoking or using chewing tobacco can stain your teeth and is harmful to your mouth in more ways than one. If your resolution in 2019 is to quit smoking for your health, you'd also be doing your oral health a huge service as well.
If you have any additional questions about how you can maintain your oral health year-round, contact Manhattan Dental Care Studio today. We have a demonstrated history of improving smiles for patients of all ages.
At Manhattan Dental Care we're all about transparency, which means that we're always willing to take our patients and prospective patients behind the curtain about our practice, as well as the technology and techniques we use to help build amazing smiles.
We customize our treatments and procedures to meet the unique needs of each patient.
Tooth decay is a serious matter that we never take lightly, because it can lead to infection, illness, even loss of teeth. We like to deal with tooth decay in its minimal state to avoid further damage. However, we're also equipped to deal with tooth decay in advanced stages as well.
Also called periodontal disease, gum disease causes more people to lose teeth than cavities do. We check for inflammation in the gums and treat any underlying problems. After all, gum disease can lead to heart disease.
Did you know that fillings can get old or damaged? Tooth decay can also hide underneath your fillings, so we always make sure to check this through thorough examination and x-rays when needed. We'll suggest replacement whenever it's necessary.
5.) Finally, We Clean Your Teeth!
Even though you might brush properly and floss regularly, nothing beats a professional cleaning. We have the tools and expertise to stay on top of your oral health. During our cleanings we set your teeth up for success year-round.
We always let our patients know that great oral health, like so many things, starts in the home. We'll give you advice and guidance when it comes to best oral health home practices during your exam.
Take Advantage of Your Dental Insurance Before 2018 Ends!
When it comes to dental insurance, if you have it, use it!
Many dental insurance plans run on a traditional calendar year, and your benefits, unfortunately, do not roll over like minutes would with some cell phone plans.
If you take advantage of your remaining dental insurance benefits you can save yourself hundreds in spending.
Your dental benefits are going to reset at the beginning of 2019 anyways, so it's important to take advantage now! If not, you'll lose out on your unused benefits after 12/31/18. In short, this means that your dental dollars are going to disappear when your dental insurance plan renews at the beginning of the year.
In 2016 the ADA published a surprising study which found that almost 40% of individuals with dental insurance didn't have a single claim within their respective year. This resulted in hundreds of thousands of dollars being wasted each year on insurance.
Don't wait for an emergency to use your insurance. You can use your insurance for check-ups and routine cleanings that will help you avoid costly procedures, like root canals.
There Might Be Fee Increases!
The fact that your monthly fee might increase is another reason to maximize what you get out of what you've spent this year. Many dentists raise their rate at the start of each year to make up for cost of operation, increases in cost of materials, as well as increase in cost of equipment. These fee increases can often make your copay higher, too. That's why you should make it a point to see your dentist while your copay rates remain where they are.
There's also the undeniable fact that when you delay treatment, you're opening yourself up to damage that can cause costly problems down the road.
The solution? Contact Manhattan Dental Care today to schedule your consultation. We'll make sure you get the most out of your insurance before the year's end.
Braces have historically been given a negative connotation generally, mainly because of their imposing nature. Nobody loves the idea of having metal appliances attached to their teeth, sitting in their mouth for a year or more.
The Invisalign clear aligner system was designed for patients who want to fix their smile without the discomfort and embarrassment of traditional metal braces. The system uses a series of clear aligners that fit over your teeth to gently, but effectively, move your teeth into perfect alignment. Orthodontists have successfully treated patients crowded teeth, overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, and gap teeth using the Invisalign system.
The Invisalign system uses crystal-clear custom aligners to mould your teeth into position. When the aligners are in your mouth, people will barely be able to tell you are wearing an orthodontic appliance! Adults who do not want to feel embarrassed by a mouth full of traditional metal braces will enjoy the low-profile of the Invisalign system.
With Invisalign, there's no need to worry about the hassle of keeping complicated orthodontic appliances clean. The trays simply pop out when it's time to eat or brush your teeth. A quick rinse of the tray is sufficient for keeping them free of debris. For best results, be sure to wear your Invisalign clear aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day.
While undergoing Invisalign treatment, you can still eat your favorite foods. Traditional braces restrict the patient from eating anything that hard, chewy, or sticky which may damage the metal brackets and wires. But with Invisalign, you can easily remove the trays so that they don't get damaged while eating.
With the traditional braces you have to visit the doctor every month to fix the braces according to your teeth alignment. But with the Invisalign system, you will receive a set of trays that are swapped out every few weeks, eliminating the need to make monthly trips to the orthodontist's office.
Patients with traditional braces commonly complain of sores on the inside of their mouth caused by the metal brackets and discomfort following their monthly office visits to get their braces "tightened." With the Invisalign system you are able to avoid both these common complaints and enjoy a more comfortable orthodontic experience.
To see if you are a candidate for treatment with Invisalign, contact Manhattan Dental Care Studio to request a consultation your consultation today.
At Manhattan Dental Care Studio we work hard to create lasting, beautiful smiles — which can open new doors for you no matter your age.
A part of what we do is provide reconstructive options that have experienced damage, trauma, or decay.
Dental inlays and onlays are two reconstructive options for teeth that have mild to moderate tooth decay. They are offered by some dentists as an alternative to crowns, which require manipulation of the natural tooth before being fitted in the mouth. Inlays and Onlays can also be used as an alternative to traditional fillings. In such instances, the inlay or onlays offers a stronger, longer-lasting solution for repairing tooth decay or similar damage.
Dental inlays and onlays are a type of premolded filling, manufactured in a lab to fit perfectly on or within your natural tooth. Restorations requiring the restoration material to be bonded within the points (cusps) of the tooth biting surface are called Inlays. Whereas restorations covering the one or more cusps of the biting surface is called an Outlay. These customized restorations can be made out of gold or a tooth-colored ceramic or resin. Once bonded to your natural tooth, your inlay or onlay not only restores the look of your natural tooth, but also provides structural reinforcement against daily wear and tear.
The process of getting an inlay or onlay is very similar to the process for getting a dental crown. At your first appointment, your dentist will numb the area being treated and clean out the decayed area of the tooth, much the same way the tooth would be prepared for a filling. Ensuring that all decay is removed is essential for preventing further decay and possible infection after the inlay or onlay has been set. Once all the decay has been removed, your dentist will take an impression of the remaining tooth area. This impression will be used by the laboratory to create your inlay or onlay. A temporary filling will be installed by your dentist to last until your second and final appointment.
Once the laboratory has completed your inlay or onlay, you will return to the dentist's office for your final appointment. During this visit, the dentist will numb the area, remove the temporary filling, and bond your permanent inlay or onlay to your natural tooth.
Inlays and onlays are strong, long-lasting, and require no additional care than any other tooth. With good daily brushing and flossing and regular professional cleanings at the dental office, your inlay or onlay restoration can last for years.
Many adults balk at the idea of visiting the dentist when they aren't having any problems with their teeth. They assume that visiting the dentist just to receive a clean bill of health is just a waste of money.
But, in fact, keeping your regular dental check-ups and cleanings can actually save you money in the long-run by making sure small problems don't turn into expensive ones.
If you don't keep up with your oral health cleanings and exams, costly dental problems might occur.
Maintaining good oral health is also an important part of keeping your whole body healthy. While daily brushing and flossing is essential for a healthy mouth, regular check-ups and cleanings are also very important. Good oral health is also linked to good overall health.
For most adults, it is recommended they get a dental checkup and cleaning every six months. However, depending on your individual needs and personal dental history, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits.
During a typical dental exam, patients go through two important preventative treatment processes: cleaning and evaluation. Exams often begin with a deep clean performed by a dental hygienist. These are dental professionals who have been trained to use special equipment and techniques to remove the tartar and plaque that daily brushing and flossing might miss.
Once your teeth have been cleaned and polished, the dentist will come in to evaluate your neck, throat, tongue, teeth, and gums for any signs of damage, disease, or decay. X-rays may also be taken. If any troubled spots are found, your dentist will recommend a treatment plan and subsequent visits will be scheduled.
Even though the American Dental Association has invested millions of dollars in educating the public on the importance of maintaining good oral health, 50% of Americans do not visit their dentist regularly. This is a disturbing statistic considering that nearly the same percentage of adults have some level of gum disease and nearly three-quarters of adults are estimated to have at least one cavity.
If you haven't been in the office in a while, we'd love to see you. Contact Manhattan Dental Care today to schedule your consultation.
Teeth misalignment can happen genetically or be artificially induced. Some people have a smaller mouth that doesn't allow for their teeth to align themselves correctly.
The upper jaw or the lower jaw might protrude forward causing an underbite or overbite. People who have dental alignment of this type inherit these traits from biological family members.
Restorative dentistry can be done in the wrong way, forcing the teeth to misalign. When a child loses a tooth at an early stage, which might cause misalignment as the other teeth continue to grow. Adults are also affected by teeth misalignment due to tooth loss.
When an adult loses a permanent tooth, a gap is left behind. Then other teeth crowd in to fill the gap. At times a dental restoration such as fillings and crowns can go wrong during the procedure and fail to fit correctly causing the adjacent teeth to shift.
Sometimes a person may have a dental illness such as gingivitis forcing the gums to weaken and not hold the teeth in place leading to misalignment.
You might think why bother correcting it when it doesn't hurt? Correcting misalignment will save you time and money.
You Want to Correct Your Misalignment, Now What?
Choosing the right realignment method is vital since you want to correct the teeth misalignment and at the same time look good. Invisalign is the treatment of choice for the patient who is looking to correct their smile without being ostentatious about it.
Here are 5 reasons to choose Invisalign over metal braces.
Once you have your Invisalign, you are not required to visit the dentist as often as you would with traditional metal braces. You'll get a new aligner tray every two weeks and you'll keep routine dental visits to check on progress.
You are allowed to eat everything you wish so long as you clean your teeth before putting the Invisalign tray back in your mouth. The old traditional braces would not let you eat sticky, or hard foods because they can cause damage to the hardware.
Metal braces can be seen even with a person who is far away from you. But with Invisalign, nobody will know you even have it on your teeth!
Metal braces have specialized flossing equipment which works in a certain way. It can be rigorous to follow through with such a rigorous routine. The design structure of Invisalign allows you to remove them and clean your teeth the usual way. You can also clean Invisalign trays easily and conveniently.
According to cases reported, the use of metal braces irritates the gums and cheeks. Invisalign comprises of flat plastic trays which can easily be installed and removed without any adverse reactions.
If you feel Invisalign might be right for you, we'd love to tell you more about it. If you're looking for an experienced dentist who knows Invisalign inside and out, contact Manhattan Dental Care Studio today for further guidance and assistance.
Dental care should start as early as the first month from birth. Caring for your teeth and oral health, in general, doesn't necessarily end with regular brushing and flossing at home. It requires more than just brushing and flossing to keep away the harmful bacteria that attacks and destroys the teeth.
To achieve optimum dental and oral health it is crucial to observe your regular dental visits without skipping. It is during these visits the dentist can note any dental problem at an early stage and address and adjust accordingly.
Restorative dentistry is when periodontal disease is identified, managed and prevented from recurring again. Restorative dentistry in many cases usually starts during the regular visits. A dentist might locate tartar formation on your teeth which he/she will clean using a dental brush and toothpaste and later on conduct preventive measures to stop it from recurring.
When you have a cavity in your tooth, the dentist will clean and inject filling to the gap to prevent further damage. When a tooth is destroyed and in need of extraction, the dentist will guide you on the various types of tooth replacement.
These are some of the most common restorative dentistry in any standard dental clinic.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses more on the appearance and to some extended treatment of the tooth. It also improves the appearance of your mouth and smile as well. It is done professionally by a dentist who specializes in cosmetic procedures, one who deeply understands the dental structures and treatments involved.
Cosmetic dentistry can be restorative to some extent. An example is when you want an inlay or only done on your decayed tooth. You'll be restoring a decayed tooth back to its original structure, but this time you are free to choose a material of your choice.
Restorative and cosmetic dentistry are more related than different. This is evident when patients are having corrective procedures done on their teeth. They consider the appearance the most instead of the functionality and overall health of the teeth. In this era most restorative dentistry clinics have incorporated cosmetic aspects of dental procedures to meet the rising demands of patients.
If you have any additional questions about restorative or cosmetic dentistry, please contact Manhattan Dental Care Studio today. We'll schedule your consultation and get your oral health back on track, leaving you with a seriously good-looking smile.

By Daniel Funke September 15, 2020
Made-up CNN headline about Crips fighting wildfires is satire
The headline does not come from a real CNN story. It was published by a popular meme account on Instagram.
A made-up CNN headline claims one of the largest street gangs in the country is helping put out the dozens of wildfires raging on the West Coast.
Why? Because the fires turned the sky red.
"Heartwarming: Members of Crip gang volunteer to fight wildfires after sky turns red," reads a screenshot of the headline, which was published Sept. 12 on Instagram.
"These crip gang members suit up to help fight wildfires," sayss a caption under a related photo, which shows purported gang members alongside firefighters. "Due to their ongoing feud with the bloods, they despise all things red; after the sky in their area turned red, they put (down) the guns and picked up the hoses."
(Screenshot from Instagram)
This post was flagged as part of Facebook's efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook, which owns Instagram.) It has more than 229,000 likes.
The Crips is a Los Angeles gang that has been associated with several illegal activities, such as drug dealing, theft and murder. They have a rivalry with a gang called the Bloods, whose members wear red accessories to identify themselves. The Crips, meanwhile, tend to wear blue or black.

By Ciara O'Rourke • December 1, 2021
It is not true that the Crips were inspired by their disdain for red to fight the West Coast wildfires, which have killed at least 36 people across three states.
The fabricated headline was published by Grape Juice Boys — a well-known meme account with more than 3 million followers on Instagram. Other fact-checkers have debunked it.
To avid Instagram users, it may seem obvious that a post from Grape Juice Boys would be satirical. But some users who shared the made-up CNN headline expressed doubt about its authenticity, so we took a closer look.
The meme was originally published on a website called iFunny, a collection of comical images, memes and videos. It was created by doctoring a real article that CNN published Sept. 10.
That article is about United States sanctions on a Ukrainian lawmaker — not gang members putting out wildfires.
"It is not a screenshot from CNN. It's been fabricated," said Emily Kohn, senior director of communications for CNN.

One of the worst nightmares, for dog owners, is that their beloved dog goes missing.
The Dogs Trust's Stray Dogs Survey 2015 estimated that, over 2014-2015, 102,363 stray dogs were handled by local authority dog wardens and environmental health officers (47,000 of which were deemed abandoned, though). According to the Survey, between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2015, around 50% of collected dogs were reunited with their owners, 22% passed to welfare organisations or dog kennels for rehoming, while a reputed number of 5,142 dogs was put to sleep by local authorities (around 5%).
Many people are unaware of the fact that, if a stray dog is collected and not claimed within 7 days, local authorities can either rehome it, pass it to dog rehoming centres, or euthanise it (see Sections 149(6) and 150(2) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 as amended).
Prevention is better than cure, so here you are some tips to avoid your dog be lost, and eventually enhance your chances to be reunited with it in the worst case scenario.
A collar should fit the dog comfortably, but at the same time not be loose. The usual advice is to fasten it as to allow you to easily slide two fingers between the collar and the dog's neck. If you use a head collar, always secure the leash to the normal collar as well. This precaution will avoid the risk of escaping.
Work hard on recall training. Especially if you have a dog with a high prey drive, you need your recall to be strong enough to ensure the dog's response also in presence of distractions such as other animals, toys, food, etc. There are several exercises you can practice to achieve this. I myself went to dog training classes where I received precious advice regarding useful exercises and I keep working on this.
In case you have a good recall and control over your dog, but it sometimes likes wondering around, you can also consider to use a collar with a GPS device to track your dog. There are many of those in commerce.
I personally prefer to exercise my dog in enclosed dog areas. If you know that your dog would/could chase wild animals, run after footballs, bikes, or whatever else, there are at least two good reasons for choosing a safe environment where to let it off: prevent it from going missing, and keep it under control (which is also imposed by the law).
You can explore your local area to discover whether there are any enclosed dog areas and check our Dog Parks category, featuring reviews of London enclosed dog areas/parks. For out of London enclosed areas, you can also refer to the Facebook group Dog Walking Fields – securely fenced, private, off lead dog walking areas and map (which lists a number of enclosed areas across the UK, many of which are private spaces for hire) to find a convenient one.
Many dogs go lost because they escape from gardens, or are stolen while left unattended in houses' gardens. Check your garden's fence for holes or other openings which could put your dog at risk of escaping and don't leave it outside while you are away.
Know your dog, i.e. assess the circumstances your dog is unconfortable with, including fireworks nights, thunderstorms, very crowded places, other animals presence, etc., and put in place all common sense precautions to prevent your dog escapes for fear.
Microchipping is a very good way to make sure your dog returns to you as soon as it is scanned. This has recently also become a legal requirement (see our earlier post on the topic).
In case you move house, change phone number, email address or wish to add other contact details, remember to contact the database you registered with asking to update your details (with some databases, as for example Petlog, you can do this online, as long as you have activated your online account).
A collar tag with your name, address and phone number is maybe the best way to ensure the quickest reunion between you and your dog in case someone finds it. Moreover, that a dog shall wear a collar with a tag or inscription carrying the name and address of the owner when in a public place is required by the Control of Dogs Order 1992 (Section 2).
To take action as quickly as possible is essential in case your dog is lost. For this reason it can be handy to print and keep with you a list of phone numbers to call in case of emergency (local council dog wardens, animal welfare organisations, lost dog lines, etc.). Find our complete lost dog contact list blog post.
Take and keep at hand some recent good pictures of your dog in a sit and standing, to use for posters and on social networks in case it is lost.
You can collect your dog's DNA by keeping a piece of nail or a whisker, or register with a DNA database. Shall your dog's microchip not be working properly, this could be another resource, and you never know what new technologies could do to help.
A good example of this is a pilot dog DNA scheme carried out by the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham. Although the scheme aims at collecting dogs DNA in order to test it for uncollected fouling, imagine if your dog is lost and you are warned by the Council that your dog's DNA was found in mess collected in a certain place. This would definetely help in your researches.

Фидон из Аргоса () је био краљ и тиран Аргоса у првој половини 7. века п. н. е. Аргос је у његово време постао доминантна сила на Пелопонезу потиснувши Спарту у други план. Преузео је контролу над Олимпијски играма. Први је увео систем утега и мера.

Успоставља тираниду

Према Ефору био је десети по реду краљ након Темена. Према Теопомпу био је шести након Темена. Темен је био пети након Херакла. За време Фидонових претходника краљевска власт се свела више на протоколарни ниво. Фидон је међутим приграбио готово све полуге власти и власт му је постала деспотска, па су га називали тираном. Аристотел помиње да је Фидон као краљ успоставио тираниду. Пре Фидона власт је као и у осталој Грчкој тога доба била олигархија. Прави носилац власти била је аристократија, а краљ је био личност без праве власти. Изгледа да је Фидон осмислио хоплите и да је као вођа хоплита извршио преврат и укинуо превласт аристократије уз помоћ својих хоплитских присталица.

Хоплитска хипотеза

Као могући узрок брзога успона Аргоса, његове војне доминације на Пелопонезу помиње се увођење хоплитскога ратовања. Аргос је био или прва држава, која је користила хоплитску фалангу или је прва почела да ефикасно користи тај начин ратовања. Штит, који је био најистакнутији део хоплитскога ратовања називао се аргивским штитом. То значи да је штит био или измишљен у Аргосу или су се Аргивци посебно истакли у његовом кориштењу.

Успоставља хегемонију на Пелопонезу

Фидон је успоставио контролу над Клеоном, Флијем, Сикионом, Епидауром и Егином, који су успели раније да постигну практичку независност и изађу из конфедерације са Аргосом. Међутим Фидон је за кратко време Аргос уздигао на ниво једне од најјачих грчких сила. Аргивци су победили Спарту 669/668. п. н. е. код Хисија. Фидон је на тај начин успео да Спарту лиши хегемоније на Пелопонезу. Аргос је постао доминантна сила Пелопонеза.

Контрола над Олимпијским играма

Фидон је преузео контролу над Олимпијским играма, па је протерао елејске судије из Олимпије. Дао је предорским становницима Писе да уместо Елејаца контролишу Олимпијске игре. Могуће је да се то десило 668. п. н. е. Сам је организовао Олимпијске игре и због свега тога замерио се многим Грцима. Контролу над Олимпијским играма је преузео позивајући се на порекло од Херакла. Напао је и градове, које је Херакло био освојио.

Пад

Спарта се придружила Елиди, јер се надала да ће повратити своју хегемонију на Пелопонезу. Успели су заједно да свргну Фидона, а Спартанци су помогли Елејцима да врате под своју контролу Пису, Трифилију и Олимпијске игре.

Систем утега и мера
Увео је систем утега и мера, који су по њему назване Фидонске. Према Ефору почео је да кује златан и сребрн новац. Што се тиче новца Херодот и Ксенофан су помињали Лидијце као прве, који су ковали новац. У време Фидона није било новца у Грчкој у време Фидона, тако да је та Ефорова тврдња по свој прилици нетачна. Међутим што се тиче утега и мера Херодот потврђује да је Фидон први увео утеге и мере.

New revelations show the FBI still poses serious threats to civil liberties
Sam Woolfe
A document obtained by The Intercept reveals how the FBI can use loopholes to secretly infiltrate political and religious organisations. And many civil liberties groups worry about the implications.
Civil liberties group Muslim Advocates filed a lawsuit, resulting in the FBI's Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide (DIOG) being made public in redacted form. The redacted marks are exceptions to rules that are easy to exploit. If not for this lawsuit, the details of this guide would still be a secret.
The rules show a worrying level of oversight when it comes to so-called "sensitive" groups. These include groups with particular environmental, political, religious, and academic affiliations.
If an FBI agent wants to infiltrate a particular group, they must obtain approval and justify the operation's importance and alignment with the constitution. But not if the agent deems the group "illegitimate", or if an informant spies on the group of their own accord.
The redacted definition of a "legitimate group" is one "formed for lawful purposes" and whose "activities are primarily lawful". But this could exclude activist groups if an agent decides that their "primary purpose" is to protest in an unlawful way. These loopholes give FBI agents perhaps too much leeway in deciding when a group is legitimate or not. This is especially troubling given how the FBI has previously infiltrated groups that threaten the status quo.
We should be outraged that the police listed Extinction Rebellion as extremists. But we shouldn't be surprised.

Civil liberties under attack
In 2010, the FBI broke the rules when it investigated groups such as the Catholic Worker, Greenpeace, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
The FBI's COINTELPRO programme in the 50s and 60s led to agents spying on, harassing and attempting to discredit leftists, civil rights leaders, and anti-war protesters. But the FBI were exposed. And there was institutional reform. Since 9/11, however, governments have weakened these stricter rules. This means that civil liberties are under threat once again. Muslim Advocates executive director Farhana Khera said:
Going into political gatherings, houses of worship — these are First Amendment-protected activities. We believed the DIOG to be a broadening of their authority to go into those spaces.
It could spell trouble for environmental groups
The FBI also violated its policies while spying on Keystone Pipeline protesters. An internal memo labelled the protesters as "environmental extremists". The FBI said:
Many of these extremists believe the debates over pollution, protection of wildlife, safety, and property rights have been overshadowed by the promise of jobs and cheaper oil prices. The Keystone pipeline, as part of the oil and natural gas industry, is vital to the security and economy of the United States.
Trump, who has an anti-climate-change agenda, has now inherited an agency that regards protecting the environment as 'extreme'.
The exposure of this uncensored document tells a similar story to the Snowden leaks. That even in a country strongly founded on the protection of civil liberties, the US government is secretly chipping away at these freedoms all the time.

Q: Spiceworks Auto-Discover creates cached profile on remote machines? I recently installed Spiceworks and after I did the auto-discover it created a local profile on all the XP and Server 2003 machines.  Is there a way to avoid this?
What part of the auto discover actually needs to log in?  Remote registry, remote perfmon and remote WMI can all be done without creating a local profile.
This seems like a huge security risk so I'd like to avoid it.

A: I got a response from Spiceworks forums:
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/84096
Hi Dan,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is actually caused by reading registry settings through WMI and is a known issue with WMI. The registry reading in used mostly to get your installed software list. We are looking at using WS-MAN as a replacement to WMI, but it is too early to tell if this will suffer the same issue.
Probably no a great work around, but I suppose these profiles could be safely removed after a scan? Perhaps I could add a flag to do this automatically for you? Or, do you have a better idea?
Thanks,
Francis

Don't get me wrong. I'm not suggesting that the problem is the inability of congregations or seminarians to quote old catechisms or rattle off the Articles of Religion, although it would be something if our people had at least an acquaintance with them. No, by catechesis I mean what J.I. Packer and G.A. Parrett define in their recent book, Grounded in the Gospel: Building Believers the Old-Fashioned Way (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2010).
We can quote our own "father in the faith," John Wesley, with regard to the absolute imperative of formative catechesis: "…the preaching like an Apostle, without joining together those that are awakened, and training them up in the ways of God, is only begetting children for the murderer" (Works of John Wesley, 21:424).
Over twenty years ago, William Abraham raised a similar concern in his book, The Logic of Evangelism (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1989; see his more recent thoughts in William J. Abraham and David F. Watson, Key United Methodist Beliefs [Nashville: Abingdon, 2013]). He argued forcefully for a reinstitution of the catechumenate as an indispensable part of the ministry of evangelism and initiation into the life of faith. "Extensive catechesis or instruction, incorporation into the body of Christ, the handing over of basic spiritual disciplines, participation in the works of the Holy Spirit — all these are minimum equipment to enable the convert to stand up to the ravages of the world" (p. 207).
The work of scholars like Christian Smith (Souls in Transition: The Religious and Spiritual Lives of Emerging Adults [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009]) and Kenda Creasy Dean (Almost Christian: What the Faith of Our Teenagers Is Telling the American Church [Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2010]) is revealing that the recovery of the art of catechesis is becoming ever more urgent.
All this is to say that I want to explore in a series of articles the broad topic of the lost art of catechesis and how it might be reinvigorated. My current research on reclaiming the catechumenate in The United Methodist Church will yield trajectories for discussion and exploration.
Current resources for catechumen-like experiences in the local church.
How can membership, baptismal preparation, and confirmation classes function in ways similar to a catechumenate?
Comments from readers of this blog about their experiences with formation or the lack of it, resources they'd like to recommend, or questions they'd like to raise.
I've been following the blog for a little while. While I'm a reformed pastor, I enjoy reading other "tribes" who are focused on the gospel. So, from this Calvinist, I appreciate your post!
Developing a structure like the catechumenate is one thing. People feeling the need for it is another. The whole issue of catechesis losing ground, I think, is a by-product of the modern Western mindset that discipleship is an "option" for Christians like roast beef is an option for me at the local restaurant. People think that membership, baptism, catechism, etc. are optional "activities" rather than essential elements of what it means to start, continue, and finish well in the faith. So the big question is: how can we change the culture in our churches so people think differently?
Looking forward to your research findings!
I'm a Methodist who teaches at a Reformed institution, so we should get along just fine. I appreciate your calling attention to Parret's larger book. I've used that text more as a basic Christian Ed text, but the Grounded in the Gospel book, I find, really helps students to grasp the urgency of the catechesis issue in a practical way.
And you are clearly right that there is a gap between structuring a catechumenate and people's desire to enter one! This is not new. Consider all the sermons in which Augustine pleads with those on the catechumen roles to take the final step toward baptism!
How might catechesis work at a non-denominational "Bible" church? I guess for that matter what kind of format does Catechesis usually take?
I volunteer in my church's youth ministry and over the past few years I've developed an interest in more formal doctrinal education as I've realize you can't hit upon all the important things to know about the Christian faith in a timely manner with just weekly Bible study.
That said, what exactly would you say is the goal of catechesis?
In my mind, I associate catechesis with catechisms and spiritual retreats. Having attended low-church evangelical congregations all my life I never did either of those; the only formal formation I remember having was a four week class that my middle-school youth group had for those who newly accepted Christ–but that was optional. I don't remember what they taught. So most of my formation was done informally through listening to Sunday sermons, reading my Bible, reading books, and talking to other Christians when issues like baptism or healing came up. From what I can tell, this seems to be the way most evangelicals are spiritually formed–at least the ones I know.

Q: DLL Timer Best Practice I have a DLL that polls a GSM modem.
When the modem receives a SMS, the DLL preprocesses the content and  sends it off to the Application via an interrupt.
The application processes the data and sends back the result to the DLL, which passes it on the sender via SMS.
If the system has two modems then the application has two instantiations of the dll.
 IMyModem modem1 = new MyModem(...);
 IMyModem modem2 = new MyModem(...);

I am thinking that there are two independent instantiations of the Dll in memory therefore I only need one System.Timers.Timer in the DLL. i.e. two separate copies of it will be elapsing independently of each other.
The Application UI can also effect the modems. (Results, Request isolation,test tx, etc).
To control the interaction between UI requests and the polling I have two static Mutex's in the DLL, one for each modem. The timer elapsed handler and other routines knows which modem they are dealing with as they were told during instantiation. So they know which Mutex to WaitOne() on.
I have tested, and while it seems to work ok, I am concerned that there may be a weakness in the design that won't show up until it goes under production load.
I would appreciate 'The Panel's' thoughts on the matter.
