The long straight highway can make you swayed and drowsy, especially when it is empty. You must have heard often about the accidents that happen on the highway, right? For this, Check In Jakarta is sharing few tips to drive safely on the highway. Check these out!
On the highway or not, sleepiness is the main enemy for drivers. Before driving, make sure you are fit. If you get sleepy on the way, pull over and get some rest at the rest area. Avoid resting on the road shoulder because it can only be used for emergency situation such as flat tire or broken machine. Chew a gum to keep you awake. Also make sure you are healthy so you can fully concentrate on the road. You don't want to get interrupted from your sickness while driving, don't you?
Driving calm and not in a rush are the key for save driving on the highway. Keep distance with other vehicles and watch the minimum and maximum speed signs on the roadside. Also position your hands equally on the wheel, with your right hand on the 3 o'clock and left hand on the 9. Don't forget to always use the sign lamp whenever you want to change lanes. And the most important thing is, always use the safety belt.
You must have seen this red or yellow lights patched on the road borders. This is called cat eye and it is the clue to safe distance and safe speed to brake between your car and other vehicles. Cat eye also functions to reflect light in the night. On a city highway, cat eye safe distance is about 10-20 meters while in the intercity will be 25-50 meters apart.
4. Always Remember, There are Sign Lamps!
Not only using it when you want to change lanes, you must always be aware with the sign lamps given from other vehicles so you can adjust your safe distance and speed.
If you want to see the rear mirrors when driving, make sure you only have a glance, not turning your hear over. The moment you are moving your head, another car could change lanes in only one second and you can be distracted for not focusing to the front.
After too long focusing on the street, your eyes can get tired and need 'an entertainment'. You can stimulate your eyes by glancing to the right or left. But remember, if you are sleepy it is better to take a rest at the rest area.
Yup, safety car kit or emergency tools is a must-have in your car. It usually consists of the safety triangle, jumper cable, fire extinguisher tube, and others. Spare tire is also a must have thing in a car. By having the emergency equipment you can at least do yourself the first aid while waiting for help to come. For example, if you have to stop at the road shoulder, you can put the safety triangle to warn the other cars.

John Legend Thinks 'Blurred Lines' Verdict May Be A "Slippery Slope"
"You have to be careful when it comes to copyrights, whether just sounding like or feeling like something is enough to say you violated their copyrights," says Legend.
By Dominique Hobdy	· March 22, 2015 October 27, 2020
John Legend says he has concerns when it comes to the 'Blurred Lines' verdict.
According to Hollywood Reporter, Legend spoke to the Associated Press saying he thinks the verdict could set a scary precedent for artists creating music inspired by other artists.
While he does admit that the song sounds like Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give it Up," he also says, "you have to be careful when it comes to copyrights, whether just sounding like or feeling like something is enough to say you violated their copyrights."
Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke were ordered to pay nearly $7.4 million to the Gaye family after a jury decided that 'Blurred Lines' mimicked elements of Gaye's 1977 hit.
Legend says he's "a little concerned that this verdict might be a slippery slope."

MSC reverses COA on Sajewski, black ice was open and obvious
Posted on May 28, 2010 by Brian Frasier
In our May 24, 2010 issue, Carol Lundberg detailed the blow-by-blow from the oral arguments in Janson v Sajewski Funeral Home, a case in which challenged the blanket application of the "open & obvious" doctrine to black ice injuries.
The Court of Appeals had overturned the circuit court's summary disposition order, holding that there was no "visible indicia of an otherwise invisible hazard," thus, the black ice could not be open and obvious.
In a 4-3 order, the Michigan Supreme Court reversed the appeals court :
The Court of Appeals failed to adhere to the governing precedent established in Slaughter v Blarney Castle Oil Co, 281 Mich App 474, 483 (2008), which renders alleged "black ice" conditions open and obvious when there are "indicia of a potentially hazardous condition," including the "specific weather conditions present at the time of the plaintiff's fall." Here, the slip and fall occurred in winter, with temperatures at all times below freezing, snow present around the defendant's premises, mist and light freezing rain falling earlier in the day, and light snow falling during the period prior to the plaintiff's fall in the evening. These wintry conditions by their nature would have alerted an average user of ordinary intelligence to discover the danger upon casual inspection. Novotney v Burger King Corp (On Remand), 198 Mich App 470, 475 (1993). Moreover, the alleged condition did not have any special aspect. It was avoidable and not unreasonably dangerous. Joyce v Rubin, 241 Mich App 231, 243 (2002).
Chief Justice Marilyn Kelly dissented:
I would affirm the result reached by the Court of Appeals. Given the facts of this case, summary disposition was improper. Plaintiff raised a genuine issue of material fact regarding the open and obvious doctrine, and the issue should be submitted to a jury.1
Black ice is not open and obvious unless 1) there is evidence that it was visible on casual inspection by the person who fell or 2) other indicia of a potentially hazardous condition were shown to exist.2 In this case, plaintiff presented evidence that when he fell, 1) precipitation was light and had tapered off earlier in the day, 2) the roads leading to defendant's premises were not icy, 3) defendant's parking lot appeared not to be icy, 4) plaintiff had not encountered ice in defendant's parking lot before his fall, and 5) a person employed by defendant who had been in the area saw no ice where plaintiff fell.
On the other hand, defendant presented evidence that 1) there was snow on the grass by the roads leading to defendant's premises at the time plaintiff fell, 2) temperatures had been below freezing throughout the day, 3) it had rained and misted earlier in the day, and 4) defendant's parking lot was generally slippery.
The trial court was required to evaluate this evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiff.3 Given the conflicting evidence, a genuine issue of material fact existed. I agree with the Court of Appeals that summary disposition should not have been granted.
1 See, generally, Bertrand v Alan Ford, Inc, 449 Mich 606, 609-611 (1995).
2 Slaughter v Blarney Castle Oil Co, 281 Mich App 474, 483 (2008).
3 See Wade v Dep't of Corrections, 439 Mich 158, 162 (1992).
Justices Michael F. Cavanagh and Diane M. Hathaway voted to deny leave.

In their opinions …
Posted on May 28, 2010 by Ed Wesoloski
"[T]he [trial] court and the DHS failed to facilitate respondent's participation in the child protective action by telephone in light of his incarceration, as required by MCR 2.004. …
"The court effectively terminated respondent's parental rights merely because he was incarcerated during the action without considering the children's placement with relatives or properly evaluating whether placement with respondent could be appropriate for the children in the future.
"Incarceration alone is not a sufficient reason for termination of parental rights."
– Michigan Supreme Court Justice Maura D. Corrigan, writing for the majority in In re: Mason. Dep't of Human Services v. Mason, et al.
"[T]he majority reverses the judgment of the Court of Appeals, which affirmed the trial court's termination of [respondent's] parental rights, on the basis that the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the trial court did not do enough to help respondent become a better parent. I believe that the majority has it exactly backwards — respondent is the one who did not do enough to become a better parent."
– Michigan Supreme Court Justice Stephen J. Markman, dissenting in Mason.
While Richard Mason was doing time for a drunken driving conviction, and then for the resulting probation violation of a larceny conviction, the DHS removed his two sons from Smith, the boys' mother.
Mason and Smith's parental rights were eventually terminated when Mason was up for parole. Smith didn't attend the termination hearing and did not appeal. Mason was there and did appeal. The Court of Appeals shut him down.
But Corrigan, joined by Chief Justice Marilyn Kelly and Justices Michael F. Cavanagh and Robert P. Young Jr., faulted the trial court for not facilitating Mason's participation by telephone during some phases of the proceedings.
The majority also said the court and the DHS didn't "ensure[ ] that [Mason] had a meaningful opportunity to comply with a case service plan, or consider[ ] the effect of the children's placement with his family."
Markman, joined by Justice Diane M. Hathaway, didn't see any problem with the extent of Mason's participation:
Because respondent was incarcerated, he was not present at all the proceedings, but his counsel was always present on his behalf.
Respondent's counsel indicated that although he wrote to respondent and notified him of the proceedings and of the fact that respondent could participate by way of speakerphone, respondent did not initially respond.
That is, contrary to the majority's repeated contention that respondent was not informed of his right to participate in the hearings by telephone, respondent's attorney did, in fact, inform respondent of this right. …
[R]espondent did also, in fact, participate by way of speakerphone during at least two of the proceedings, and he did physically attend the termination hearing.
Markman also took issue with the majority's conclusion that the DHS and the trial court did do enough to help Mason "become a better parent." Any mischief here was that of Mason's own making:
The majority, quoting the children's lawyer-guardian ad litem, asserts that respondent was "'hamstrung from the beginning [in] trying to get things in order so that he [could] one day be a father to these children.'"
However, the majority disregards two quite significant points.
First, to the extent that respondent was "hamstrung," this was of his own making — nobody but respondent can be blamed for the fact that he was in prison during the pendency of these proceedings.
Second, there is no evidence that respondent did anything to provide for his children while they were living with their unfit mother, with foster parents, or with their paternal aunt and uncle. Instead, respondent pleaded "no contest" to the removal petition that alleged that "Mr. Mason has failed to provide for the children physically, emotionally and financially."
Justice Elizabeth A. Weaver joined Markman's dissent in a separate opinion.

At least she wasn't on Oceanic Flight 815
Posted on May 27, 2010 by Douglas J. Levy
Attorney Geoffrey Fieger has filed a four-count lawsuit for negligence, false imprisonment, emotional distress and breach of contract, after his client, Ginger McGuire of Ferndale, was locked on an airplane for four hours after it landed.
The Detroit News reports:
[McGuire] flew Monday on a trip for an accounting training session that began in Detroit and ended in Philadelphia. During her travels, she was shuttled to Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., before heading to Philadelphia, where she was left stranded on the airplane after landing.
McGuire said she was exhausted from traveling and fell asleep as soon as she took her seat on the Philadelphia-bound Trans States airplane — Trans States works in conjunction with United Airlines. She was not taking medication and did not have any alcohol to drink.
McGuire woke up at 3:50 a.m. and found herself alone on the 50-seat plane.
McGuire said she walked up and down the aisle for 15 minutes. She said she panicked and didn't think of calling for help.
"Then the door to the airplane opened and two Philadelphia police officers were standing there with a TSA officer," McGuire said. "They wouldn't let me off the plane until I proved who I was. It was like, 'Show us your ID, show us your ID.'"
Officials let her go after about 10 minutes. McGuire then checked into a local hotel.

A carrot and a stick for Michigan voters
Posted on May 27, 2010 by Carol Lundberg
Twelve years to the day after the Michigan Supreme Court ruled unanimously in Massey, et al. v Secretary of State that term limits for state legislators, approved by Michigan voters in 1992, are indeed constitutional, the state house judiciary committee discussed a possible tweak-and-massage of those limits.
It's not the first time legislators have looked at the idea of tinkering with, but not eliminating, term limits. But yesterday was the first time they'd discussed sweetening the deal in hopes of gaining favor with Michigan voters.
The term-limit adjustment would go like this: it would allow legislators to serve up to 14 years, as they are now. Currently, elected members of the state legislatures can serve three two-year terms in the state House and two four-year terms in the state Senate. But the joint resolution, HJR EEE, proposes that they could serve all 14 years in the House, or 12 years in the Senate and two years in the house, which would slow the turn-over in the state legislature. The upshot would be that more experienced legislators could stay in office, and ideally could gain the experience and build the relationships necessary to sort out Michigan's numerous and deep challenges.
Here comes the sweetener. Also proposed in the resolution is a provision that if the legislature does not present a balanced budget to the governor by July 1 of every year, each and every representative and senator would pay the price, and would forfeit his or her salary for every day until it's it's done. If the governor does receive the budget on time, but refuses to sign it, the governor and lieutenant governor would forfeit their salary until the governor seals the deal.
The resolution, sponsored by Westland Democrat Richard LeBlanc, is a melding of two house bills, sponsored by Tim Bledsoe, D-Grosse Pointe, and Bill Rogers, R-Brighton. LeBlanc said that both ideas are appealing, but attaching the paycheck forfeiture to reforming term limits would provide an attractive selling point to get voters on board.
According to LeBlanc, voters like term limits. But Bledsoe noted that Michigan has the most "draconian" limits in the country. Only California and Arkansas have similar limits.
"At one point in our country, 21 states had term limits," LeBlanc said. But they've had such devastating consequences that as of today, six of those states have repealed.
In 1992, he was in favor of them, he admits. And in fact, he wouldn't have been elected without them.
People were "astounded" he said, when LeBlanc announced that he liked proposal B in 1992. But he's had a change of heart, now that he's seen what widespread inexperience does to the legislative process.
"They were right," he said of term limit opponents. "I was wrong."
Next year, if term limits are not tweaked, all of the most experienced representatives will be gone, at a time when Michigan is facing serious issues, said Rogers. He likened electing representatives to choosing a heart surgeon.
"I would rather have someone who's been doing it for a few years than someone who is doing it for the first time," Rogers said.
The proposal will come back to the committee, "very soon," said Chairmain Mark Meadows, D-Lansing. Bill sponsors hope to get a ballot proposal in front of voters for the August primary elections.

6th Cir. Judge James Ryan retiring in Sept.
DETROIT (AP) — Federal appeals court Judge James L. Ryan of Michigan says he's stepping down in September.

Kilpatrick off to jail again, fired by Compuware
DETROIT (AP) — Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was sentenced to up to five years in prison Tuesday for violating the terms of his probation stemming from his conviction for lying under oath about an affair with his chief of staff.
Kilpatrick, 39, asked Judge David Groner to show him compassion during the hearing, but Groner said "that ship has sailed."
Groner said Kilpatrick would have to serve at least one-and-a-half years in prison. He is still obligated to pay back the remaining balance of his $1 million debt to the city of Detroit.
Kilpatrick, the father of three young sons, was led from the courtroom in handcuffs.
Groner ruled last month that Kilpatrick failed to report all of his assets and meet other conditions of his probation. In court Tuesday, Groner scolded Kilpatrick for his continued lack of candor about his finances.
"Your continued attempt to cast yourself as the victim, your lack of forthrightness, your lack of contriteness and lack of humility … clearly rehabilitation has failed," Groner told Kilpatrick after the former mayor spent about 15 minutes explaining why he should be allowed to return to his family in Dallas.
"I want to go home your honor, where I belong," Kilpatrick told Groner. "I'm not here because of a gun charge, or a drug charge. I'm here because of my confusion over some of the written orders that have been before me."
At issue is the restitution Kilpatrick was ordered to pay the city after he pleaded guilty in 2008 to obstruction of justice. Kilpatrick testified in a whistle-blowers' lawsuit that he was not romantically involved with his chief of staff, but text messages between the two later showed he was lying. Before the text message scandal broke, the city paid the two whistle blowers an $8.4 million settlement.
Kilpatrick, a Democrat, resigned, served 99 days in jail, agreed to give up his law license, repay the city $1 million, and stay out of politics for five years.
After Groner announced the sentence, a loud, collective gasp rose from many of Kilpatrick's supporters in the packed courtroom. Kilpatrick appeared shaken.
Kilpatrick has 42 days in which to file an appeal.
After he was released from jail in February 2009, Kilpatrick found a job as a medical software salesman with Dallas-based Covisint. Since then, he has said he is working on his marriage and trying to be a better father to his three sons. He also has been making $3,000 monthly payments to the city of Detroit, saying he hopes to repay everything he owes.
But prosecutors contend he continues to lie — that Kilpatrick could afford to give more and has intentionally hid assets.
Groner agreed, saying Kilpatrick failed to disclose $240,000 in loans from prominent businessmen. He also said Kilpatrick failed to surrender nearly $23,400 in tax refunds and a share of cash gifts from two people.
In addition to his sentencing, Compuware Corp. CEO Peter Karmanos announced his company has fired Kilpatrick. [Detroit Free Press].

Court: BK franchisees can't have it their way
And now for the third course in the trilogy of food-related legal matters.
First, we reported on a Hooters waitress being called out by management for carrying more than chicken wings and burgers, as she was put on "weight probation." (This week, she filed an ELCRA lawsuit, and an Irish wagering site is accepting bets on how it turns out.)
Then, a burger joint in Cambridge, Mass., launches a burger that pays tribute to both U.S. Supreme Court candidate Elena Kagan and to the U.S. way of doing business.
Now, a federal court judge in Miami has ruled that Burger King management has the right to dictate value-meal pricing to franchisees. This comes after store owners, by way of the National Franchisees Association, were complaining that BK's setting the double cheeseburger price at $1 was hurting their bottom line, making the value menu only a value to – gasp! – the consumers. (Though it should be noted that it's not exactly been a value for cheese lovers, because, for the past month, BK has been skimping on the yellow stuff.)
Yet, allegations by the franchisees of bad faith by the company had enough plausibility to be argued in court.
Still, MSN reported, "[I]f franchisees and Burger King management know what's good for them, they'll spend less energy on this lawsuit and more energy on boosting BKC stock through stronger sales and profits."
Maybe getting rid of those creepy commercials that feature the guy in the King costume would help, too.

Home/Interview with Bev Walton-Porter of Scribe & Quill
"I don't believe advance review copies should be sold or donated under any circumstance," says Porter.
Interview with Bev Walton-Porter of Scribe & Quill
Mayra Calvani June 12, 2008 7 Comments 137 Views
Bev Walton-Porter is an author, reviewer, freelancer, editor and publisher. She's the lady behind the succesful ezine, Scribe & Quill. Her books include Sun Signs for Writers, The Complete Writer: A Guide to Tapping Your Full Potential, and Mending Fences. Her work has appeared in many publications, both print and online. In this interview, Porter talks about her e-zine and about various aspects of book reviewing. She welcomes e-books for review and is currently looking for more reviewers to join her staff.
How long have you been reviewing?
Wow…let me think! About 11 years, when I first became a full-time professional with my writing. I have reviewed books for Inkspot (the awesome site run by Debbie Ridpath Ohi many years ago), The Charlotte Austin Review website (now defunct), Bridges (based out of B.C. Canada), Suite101, Inscriptions, and, of course, Scribe & Quill.
Please tell us about Scribe & Quill.
My site isn't just for book reviews. Scribe & Quill covers many areas related to writing, reading and publishing – including book reviews. I first launched Scribe & Quill as a small e-zine on ListBot in the late 90s and it has evolved into a larger e-zine with 6,000+ subscribers, plus a web site, editing services and online professional writing courses that dovetail with and complement the zine. I think longevity is our greatest hallmark. Scribe & Quill has been around in some form or another for over a decade, and in the online world (especially for small-size e-zines), that's a long time!
What is the most challenging aspect of running a review site?
Finding reliable reviewers who are also willing to review both print and electronically published books. We also like our reviewers to be willing to review any type of book, and sometimes that can be a challenge as well.
How many books do you review a month?
Since we no longer publish monthly, but rather quarterly, we publish five to ten reviews per issue. Due to the influx of review books, it's likely we'll publish additional ones on the site in between issues of the zine.
How many staff reviewers do you have?
Ten, but we are looking for more.
Are you currently recruiting more reviewers? If so, what are your guidelines?
Yes we are! Our guidelines can be found here. For further information, send an e-mail to [email protected] with REVIEWER in the e-mail subject line.
How should an author contact you about a review request? Do you review e-books as well?
Have them send an e-mail to [email protected] with REVIEW REQUEST in the subject line. We welcome e-books and actually prefer electronic copies of review books.
How do you select the books you review? How do you determine which reviews to post on your site?
If you send us a book, unrequested, we may or may not review it, depending on our current queue. It's best to send a query first, then we'll let you know how to submit your book for review. We receive countless books per year for review and most are suitable for review. However, if your book includes questonable or perhaps illegal content, we may choose not to review it. In all cases, we reserve the right not to review any particular book due to a variety of reasons. However, we publish reviews of all books we select for review.
Do you think there's a lot of 'facile praise' among many online review sites? What is your policy when it comes to negative reviews?
First and foremost, we want honest reviews. That means that while we are always pleased to find books that get an excellent review from us, we are aware that some books won't always hit that top mark. Therefore, while we will run a review about a book that may not be completely positive, we try to be tactful about our criticisms and comments about a book. There's usually something constructive that can be said in the face of a not-so-good book. For instance, there's a tactful, yet honest way of mentioning that a book's characters could be fleshed out, and then offering suggestions for how the author might have done that more successfully.
There was a lot of controversy last year between print publication reviewers and online bloggers. In your opinion, what defines a "legitimate" reviewer?
If you review a book, whether in print or online, you're "legitimate." I think it's a silly argument that is a waste of time and breath. Just review books and stop with the silly in-fighting over such things. We have better tasks to accomplish and can better use our energies.
What is your stand on paid reviews?
I believe if a publication pays for reviews, that's obviously a good thing. However, if you're asking if I think it's legitimate for authors or publishers to pay for people to review their books, I would have to say I believe that's unethical. If you pay someone to review a book and you're an author or a publisher, then it seems you're 'buying' a positive review. In addition, I believe if you have a personal or professional 'axe to grind' against an author or publisher, I believe you should not review any books related to said author or publisher. I've seen reviewers and others try to inflict damage on an author's reputation and work by posting less-than-positive reviews that were based on a personal vendetta rather than an objective view of the book itself.
Do you think it's okay for reviewers to resell the books or advance review copies they review?
If a reviewer has many books and needs, for whatever reason, to thin out his/her previously read and reviewed books, then I think donating them to the library would be the first recommended action. I don't believe advance review copies should be sold or donated under any circumstance, though.
What are the most common mistakes amateur reviewers make?
Going over or under the word count. This is because they either haven't been detailed enough with their review, or they haven't imparted the necessary information and criticism in a succinct and cogent manner.
With so many major newspapers getting rid of their book review sections, how do you see the future of online review sites?
I believe online review sites will continue to grow, and if there's a shortage of reviews in print papers, that void will be filled by online reviews and reviewers.
Do you keep the author's feelings in mind when you review?
Yes, in that comments or criticism about a book and its author should always be constructive, as well as honest. I believe a criticism or a comment should be constructive rather than just mean or intentionally nit-picky. Authors put their hearts and souls into their books.
Have you received aggressive responses from authors or publishers because of a negative review? If yes, how do you handle it?
Yes, on occasion. I respond to the author and/or publisher and explain that we strive for honest reviews of books, but realize that reviews are subjective. While one reader or reviewer may love a book, another one may not for various reasons. My stance is if you don't want an honest review of your book by a reviewer, then perhaps you shouldn't send us a copy for review. Also, keep in mind that one reviewer's take on a book does not necessarily reflect how I personally would view that book, nor is it the end-all, be-all review of the book.
What does your site offer readers?
We offer articles, interviews, columns and book reviews about all aspects of writing, authors and publishing. We also occasionally publish fiction and poetry, so there's a smorgasbord of available 'treats' for people who love to read.
What promotional opportunities does your site offer authors?
Authors may send us press releases about their upcoming book releases and we'll run them in our e-zine for no charge. In addition, if an author is launching a promotional tour, we'll run announcements on that as well. Finally, we do offer paid text ads and banners for more lengthy and concentrated exposure.
What is the most rewarding aspect of being a reviewer? The most challenging?
The most rewarding is, of course, discovering new authors and books that you may not have otherwise discovered. The most challenging is balancing the commitment to both readers and authors/publishers when it comes to a fair and honest assessment of a book.
Is there anything else you would like to say about you or Scribe & Quill?
I'd also like to invite readers to also visit a couple of my other sites they may find of interest: Sun Signs for Writers, Int'l Order of Horror Professionals site and my own website with links and information on my nonfiction and fiction books. Thanks for giving me this opportunity!
Thank you, Bev!

Commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation.
The commission from the BBCSO more or less coincided with my discovery that the David Bomberg was not only the finest British painter in the first half of the twentieth century (and the subject of one of my next operas) but also a war poet of some distinction. So I decided to join the ranks of those composers who have worked with First World War texts as I began to set Bomberg's horrifying 'Winter Night', which he wrote as a sapper in the Royal Engineers on the front line in 1916. But Bomberg's text was too rhythmic, too vivid, too musical to require the application of an 'external' music.
"The Americans got their oil/The Russians ate meat to their fill/The Chinese got an abundance of neckties/And the Israelis more land".
"I see the texts now as a film in my mind. I think I am going to discover my text afresh in your hands".
In the final section, verse 11, the ghost of Bomberg reappears in the form of a long canon for strings, the material of which is derived from the opening lines of 'Winter Night' that I had started setting.
A Handshake in the Dark sets verses by the Iraqi poet Jamal Jumá addressed to his brother, then a soldier in US captivity during the first Gulf War. They are intimate and harrowing, imagining what the prisoner might have been going through; and they have provoked an angry musical work, which sounds like an attempt to articulate the anguish that the war and its successors has caused. The sheer loudness and density of this performance, sung with mighty stamina by the BBC Symphony Chorus, was bewildering.
Nyman's new choral work, A Handshake in the Dark, which sets 27 of Juma's texts together, some of them simultaneously, was unveiled in this BBC Symphony concert under the Finnish conductor John Storgards. It's a big piece, over 30 minutes long, and as always with Nyman there's a fierce energy and anger to the music.


How simple can a meditation be? How about watching nature for one minute? Sound doable? It totally is.
Our moment-to-moment life is our practice. The quality of our practice directly informs our quality of life. Practice can be all about doing something skillful and delightful in any moment in our life. Benefits of practice are dose-dependent, meaning the more often we practice the more likely we are to get benefits from our practice. It's not about how long we practice for, it's about how often. How can we practice often? By making it really simple and really pleasant.
Nature is our original object of meditation because, as a species, it's our original environment. When the Buddha instructed his monks he told them to go out into nature, to sit at the foot of a tree, and meditate. Sure, their schedule of meditation was probably pretty rigorous, but it was still nature the early practitioners were practicing in.
Nature is soothing, impermanent, and just "there" for us to be with. Nature teaches us that there are causes and conditions, that life can be quite simple, that adapting to change is a good idea, and that nothing lasts forever. Shapes in nature are soft on the eyes; sounds in nature are soothing to the ear; and there's something about watching animals just be who they are that is totally inspiring.
Environmental psychologists Rachel and Stephen Kaplan, in their book, The Experience of Nature: A Psychological Perspective talk about the difference between our experience of directed attention and fascination. Many of us use directed attention for much of our day, focusing on tasks within a busy schedule and working toward goals. The Kaplans argue that when we use too much directed attention this can lead us to "directed attention fatigue" which brings on behavior like irritability, forgetfulness and distraction. "Directed attention fatigues people through overuse," Stephen Kaplan explains. "If you can find an environment where the attention is automatic, you allow directed attention to rest. And that means an environment that's strong on fascination." The Kaplans called this approach the attention restoration theory.
The Kaplans point out that we generally are pretty fascinated by nature. In a Harvard Medical School article (removed from the internet since I wrote this article), Scott Edwards wrote, "According to [attention restoration theory], people can concentrate better after spending time in nature or even after simply looking at pictures of nature. Watching a beautiful sunset or the nesting of birds in a tree doesn't demand the type of attention from the brain that filtering a multitude of competing stimuli on a bustling city street does. Natural vistas allow the brain's attention circuits to refresh." We don't have to actually be in nature to be fascinated and rejuvenated by it.
So, dear ones, if you're suffering from directed attention fatigue or a nature deficit my growing collection of attention restoration video meditations are for you (or on YouTube here). These meditations are little videos of beings in nature who have inspired me over the years as well as contemplative scenes to soothe the senses. Inspired by a tree? Totally. Inspired by squirrels? Definitely. Inspired and soothed by water? Yes! Of course actually being in nature is the best way to soothe those jangly workaday nerves, but you can microdose yourself with nature to get you through until you can have the full nature experience (forest-bathing, anyone?).
Attention restoration meditations are a great way to add in a self-compassion pause to your day, wherever you are. How does resting away from your work for 2 minutes to revive yourself sound? This is how you can use these meditations. There are no verbal instructions, but there are subtle invitations from our wise friends in nature. Listen to them. Feel into them. Allow them to come to you. There's nothing you need to do other than to be.
Try an Attention Restoration Meditation today!


Dressing for yourself, sort of.
Many years ago, I purchased a pair of camouflage pants that had a cool pink embroidered flower, or maybe it was a dragon on one of the legs. I was in my late 30's and I thought they were pretty cool. One day I couldn't find them–couldn't find them anywhere. A couple of months passed and I was putting away laundry in my husband's dresser, there they were, but not by mistake. He is not one to readily weigh in on my clothes so why he would be so sneaky about removing them? No surprise that he hated them and just couldn't bring himself to say it. So many things I have read said that women should dress for themselves. So, if we think we are dressing for ourselves but our family or friends are the ones looking at us, should we consider their opinion? My husband and I have worked out that communication issue and I do care what he and a select few think of how I dress. The GAP jacket in the below pic that was owned for a mere 2 weeks before I yielded to the pressure to get rid of it. It had a dual daughter and close friend condemnation that it wasn't flattering on me. When my best interests are at the heart of the opinion of others, I consider that dressing for myself.

The Padres Have a New Shortstop. What About Fernando Tatis?
Last we checked on the superstar, he was serving an 80-game PED ban
That man is too talented to give up on. Where will he play in San Diego?

By Tanner Garrity @tannergarrity
Finally, someone is willing to take money from A.J. Preller.
The San Diego Padres' aggressive general manager offered Trea Turner a sum of $342 million, then Aaron Judge an astonishing $400 million, but neither blinked. Turner is moving to Philadelphia and Judge is staying in New York. It took until late last night, after most of the baseball world had gone to bed, for the Padres to ink longtime Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts to a $280 million deal.
He'll fit in nicely with the Fathers, as he would with just about any team: the 30-year-old is always a threat to bat .300, has fetched MVP votes five years in a row, is usually healthy enough to play around 150 games a year, and ranks in the top third of the league's shortstops for advanced defensive metrics, ahead of stars like Corey Seager, Carlos Correa and the aforementioned Turner.
That said, where does this leave San Diego's other multi-hundred-million-dollar shortstop, a much younger and arguably much more exciting player by the name of Fernando Tatis Jr.?
Last we checked on Tatis, he was serving an 80-game suspension after testing positive for Clostebol, a performance-enhancing drug that's banned by MLB. Thanks to the Padres' deep playoff run (they were dispatched by the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLCS), this suspension isn't slated to extend too far into the 2023 season. Tatis could be back as early as April 20, which means he would only miss a couple weeks of games.
Padres management was justifiably furious after Tatis was caught, especially considering he was already on the injured list for crashing his motorcycle in the Dominican Republic the previous December. Just when the franchise thought they were getting their five-tool wunderkind back for the most important baseball of the year, his season was officially shut down.
Tatis has spent his abnormally long offseason humbled and hungry, though, according to reports, and even took the extra time to replace a screw in his wrist. He should be fully healthy once he's allowed back on the field.
Aaron Judge Got His Contract. The Captaincy Comes Next.
The Yankees are prepared to make a historic announcement
Where on the field will that be, though? Believe it or not, San Diego actually now has three capable shortstops on its roster — Tatis, Bogaerts and Ha-Seong Kim, the latter of whom posted 4.9 WAR in Tatis's absence this year, and was named a Gold Glove finalist at the position. (The Atlanta Braves' dazzling Dansby Swanson ended up taking home the hardware.)
Well, you can expect the new shortstop to play shortstop. That's Bogaerts's post, and Kim will likely be flexed to second base…which could prove a trivial assignment for a man of his talents. Meanwhile, the versatile Jake Cronenworth can cover first base now that Eric Hosmer is no longer with the team.
It's an absolute embarrassment of infield riches (remember, Manny Machado plays third base for this team!), which will almost certainly push Tatis to the outfield, where he does have some experience. He played 23 games out there in 2021 (most of them in center), and knows how to catch a fly ball. He's lithe, quick, has great instincts and a cannon for an arm. He should excel.
In a bizarre way, Tatis's suspension could actually help the Padres — and his career — in the long run. Remember all the crap Derek Jeter got from the Yale nerds towards the twilight of his career, on account of his poor metrics at shortstop? The Yankees' top brass wanted him out in center field, figuring a move could maximize his defensive value (and the lineup's output), but there was no shot he was going to shed a position so synonymous with his adult identity. And what leverage did they have, really? He was Jeter.
But Tatis is firmly in the doghouse. He has zero leverage right now. Wherever you land on the 23-year-old, he's objectively lucky San Diego hasn't chosen to dispute a cent of the 14-year, $340 million contract it awarded him before he missed an entire campaign for back-to-back boneheaded reasons. Instead, the Padres just seem determined to see him back on the field. Their recent comments have been supportive.
Asked what position he wants to see Tatis playing next year, Preller answered, "That position would be on the field. Maybe for 145 games. That position would be best."
As for baseball fans not excited to see the Padres gobbling up another superstar — if your team plays in the NL West, fair enough, but otherwise…this is a good thing for the sport. A robust, competitive free agent market is one sign of a healthy league (when's the last time over a billion dollars were committed before the Winter Meetings?), while Preller's determination to make San Diego relevant is frankly inspiring.
While some "small market teams" (owned by billionaires, mind you) are feigning poverty and tanking on purpose, the Padres are doing everything in their power to keep pace with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The team two hours north has a much higher valuation, sure, but that hasn't stopped Slam Diego from essentially manifesting themselves into a heavyweight. If you build it (buy good players), people will come, Ray (the Padres have leapt from 18th to fifth in attendance).
Take note, MLB owners. And congratulations, Padres fans. Your infield is so good it's spilling into the outfield.

NEW BRUNSWICK - A 44-year-old North Brunswick has been convicted of the fatal shooting of his next-door neighbor more than two years ago.
Roland E. Amos was found guilty of murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, unlawful possession of a weapon and hindering his own apprehension in connection with the shooting death of Brian A. Hoey, 43, according to Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey.

Amos also was convicted of being a certain person prohibited from having a weapon because he had previously been convicted in an unrelated criminal case.
He was found guilty by a jury following a trial that began Jan. 18 before Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Dennis Nieves.
Amos is facing a maximum prison term of life plus 10 years when he is sentenced on May 4. He will be required to serve 85 percent of the life term and five years on the gun charge before becoming eligible for parole, according to Carey.
During the trial, Middlesex County Assistant Prosecutors Christine D'Elia and Fabrice Charles presented evidence and testimony showing Amos shot Hoey multiple times around 1:30 a.m. Sept. 1, 2014 outside the Belcourt Townhouses at Hidden Lake apartment complex where the two men were next-door neighbors. Hoey died at the scene.
Amos was arrested following a monthlong investigation by North Brunswick Detective Robert Powell and Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office Detective Gregory Morris.
Amos' companion, Zoraida Rodriguez, has been indicted for allegedly hindering the investigation by providing false information in an attempt to help Amos avoid arrest.

Porfirio Alejandro Muñoz Ledo y Lazo de la Vega (Ciudad de México, 23 de julio de 1933), conocido como Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, es un político, polítólogo, diplomático izquierdista mexicano. Fundador del PRD. Actualmente pertenece a Morena.

Durante su amplia carrera política, que data de finales de la década de 1960, ha militado en varios partidos políticos y ocupado numerosos cargos de primer nivel, entre los que están titular de las secretarías del Trabajo y de Educación Pública, líder del PRI y del PRD, senador y diputado federal, en dos ocasiones presidente de la Cámara de Diputados y diplomático representante de México en diversos países y organismos internacionales.

Biografía

Primeros años
Cursó la licenciatura en Derecho en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), con posgrado en la misma materia y realizó cursos de doctorado en Ciencia Política y Derecho Constitucional en la Universidad de París, fue presidente de los Estudiantes de Derecho de la UNAM, siendo discípulo del Maestro Mario de la Cueva, Secretario de la Revista Universitaria Medio Siglo, en donde participaron o colaboraron personajes como Víctor Flores Olea, Carlos Fuentes, Enrique González Pedrero, Sergio Pitol, Salvador Bermúdez Castro y Salvador Elizondo, entre otros; maestro emérito por la Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez y maestro de asignatura en la UNAM durante (1956-1960), de la Universidad de Toulouse, Francia (1959), de la Escuela Normal Superior (1962-1963), del Colegio de México (1964-1978), del Instituto de Estudios para el Desarrollo Económico y Social de la Universidad de París (1965) y de la Universidad de Oxford (1979).

Primeros cargos
Entre los puestos gubernamentales que ha ocupado durante su trayectoria destacan, Subdirector de Educación Básica y Tecnológica de la SEP, Subsecretario de la Presidencia de la República, Subdirector de IMSS, Secretario del Trabajo y Previsión Social, Secretario de Educación Pública, y presidente nacional del Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), en las gestiones de Luis Echeverría Álvarez, José López Portillo y Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado. Fue precandidato presidencial en el ritual sucesorio priista de 1976, según cuenta, en sus memorias, el presidente Luis Echeverría acudió a visitarlo a su casa, cuando llegó Echeverría, casi sin hablar caminó hasta el jardín, y le dijo: "Es muy pequeño para recibir contingentes". Años después, Muñoz Ledo recordó: "En ese instante creí que el dedo me había iluminado. Y compré el terreno de atrás", creyó que la frase de Echeverría le anticipaba su destape como candidato oficial, y que no habría suficiente espacio para recibir a los contingentes del PRI que irían a felicitarlo públicamente, al final Echeverría se decidió por López Portillo, nuevamente fue precandidato presidencial en 1982, aunque finalmente el presidente López Portillo designó como candidato a Miguel de la Madrid.

Asimismo, se desempeñó como consejero Cultural en la Embajada de México en Francia. También fue Representante Permanente de México ante la ONU (donde le tocó ser Coordinador del Grupo de los 77 y, también, presidir el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, durante el tiempo que México formó parte de este). Miembro del Consejo Consultivo de México ante la UNESCO.

Corriente democrática y futuro PRD
Fue miembro del PRI hasta que salió de sus filas y fundó, junto con Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano e Ifigenia Martínez, la Corriente Democrática que más adelante se convertiría en el Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD), en donde formó parte de su consejo nacional, fue su representante ante el recién creado IFE y fue elegido su presidente nacional. Fue elegido senador de la república por el Distrito Federal -el primer senador de oposición emanado del PRD-, en las elecciones federales de 1988, con Cárdenas como abanderado presidencial, terminando su período en la cámara alta en 1994. El 18 de agosto de 1991, Muñoz Ledo contendió por la gubernatura del estado de Guanajuato, representando al PRD, donde enfrentó a Vicente Fox Quesada, del Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), y a Ramón Aguirre Velázquez, del PRI. La elección resultó sumamente controvertida, puesto que el triunfo de Aguirre Velázquez fue inmediatamente impugnado por el candidato del PAN, con lo cual Porfirio Muñoz Ledo quedó marginado en el proceso.

Fue una de las figuras más influyentes del PRD hasta que decidió renunciar en 1999 tras pretender fallidamente la nominación a la presidencia de la República, que finalmente fue otorgada a Cárdenas por tercera vez consecutiva. Intentó también conseguir la nominación a la candidatura para jefe de gobierno del Distrito Federal en 1997, la primera elección para jefe de gobierno de la ciudad, pero finalmente Cárdenas fue designado como el candidato; en ese mismo año, fue elegido diputado federal plurinominal.

En su actividad legislativa fue tanto senador coordinador del grupo parlamentario del PRD en la Cámara de Senadores como diputado coordinador del grupo parlamentario del PRD en la Cámara de Diputados. Se conoce que en el último informe del presidente Miguel de la Madrid, en 1988, interpeló al Presidente, siendo algo poco visto en la historia de México. Posteriormente, sería el primer Presidente de la Cámara de Diputados de oposición en 1997, cargo en el que fue el primer político de oposición en responder un informe presidencial.

Periodo sin partido político
Contendió por la Presidencia de la República Mexicana en 2000, como candidato del Partido Auténtico de la Revolución Mexicana, un pequeño partido ahora inexistente, en donde al ver perdida su aspiración, al final de la campaña declinó su candidatura en favor de Vicente Fox, argumentando la necesidad de un cambio de régimen en el país, y su fractura personal con el candidato del PRD. Después del triunfo electoral de Vicente Fox Quesada, Muñoz Ledo fue nombrado coordinador de la Comisión de Estudios para la Reforma del Estado, comisión presidencial convocada por Fox para tratar el tema. Posteriormente, lo nombraron embajador de México ante la Unión Europea. De regreso a México, trabajó en diversos foros sobre el estado de la política mexicana, vertiendo opiniones como analista. Según el propio Muñoz Ledo, su distanciamiento de Fox se debió a la intención de este de intervenir en la campaña electoral de 2006. Muñoz Ledo decidió apoyar al Jefe de Gobierno del Distrito Federal, Andrés Manuel López Obrador en la búsqueda de la Presidencia, considerando que el triunfo de la izquierda estaba más cerca que nunca. Desde entonces, ha sido uno de los hombres más cercanos a López Obrador.

Partido del Trabajo
Tras las controvertidas elecciones en las que se declaró perdedor al candidato perredista, Muñoz Ledo apoyó a este en realizar una presidencia alterna, denominada "legítima". También fue miembro y coordinador político del Frente Amplio Progresista en 2008. Fue elegido diputado federal plurinominal en 2009 por el Partido del Trabajo. En dicha legislatura, se desempeñó como presidente de la Comisión de Relaciones Exteriores. Fue conductor de televisión de Televisión Mexiquense durante cinco años, hasta enero de 2012, en el programa Bitácora Mexicana. Sugirió que la eliminación del programa podía deberse a una decisión del gobierno del Estado por "descafeinar" la televisión frente a las elecciones de 2012, comentando que "los que no leen libros no toleran programas donde se comentan libros". Es articulista del periódico El Universal, fundador en 1999 y presidente del Movimiento Ciudadano Opción Nueva República, uno de los objetivos de dicho movimiento es dotar a la República de una Constitución más acorde con los tiempos actuales.

Fue nombrado por el jefe de Gobierno de Ciudad de México, Miguel Ángel Mancera, Comisionado para la Reforma Política del Distrito Federal y Secretario Ejecutivo de la Comisión Redactora del Proyecto de Constitución para la Ciudad de México, integrada por otros 28 personajes. Sostuvo que la primera gran Constitución del  sería la de Ciudad de México. Autor de numerosos artículos, publicaciones, ensayos y análisis de opinión, afirmó en entrevista con la revista Proceso (2013) que su generación fracasó en buena medida al no lograr evitar el "triunfo" del neoliberalismo, y que los momentos de la formación de la Corriente Democrática y el Frente Democrático Nacional son únicos en la historia del país, que demuestran la organización social para construir movimientos.

Militancia en Morena
A raíz del triunfo histórico de la izquierda mexicana en las elecciones presidenciales de 2018, afirmó que, con ello, se acabó con el ciclo neoliberal de 30 años en México, que generó exclusiones y una vasta desigualdad, por lo que cuando el presidente electo Andrés Manuel López Obrador habló de la "Cuarta Transformación del País", esta podía ser viable y se podría armar un nuevo tejido de relaciones sociales, pronunciándose por un cambio de fondo pero sin imposiciones y un cambio democrático en serio. Afirmó también que entregarle la banda presidencial a Andrés Manuel López Obrador representó la culminación de una historia política iniciada en 1988 de desafío al poder, de recuperación de la historia y la democracia, y la culminación de su vida pública, mientras que el gran deber será "sanear a las instituciones republicanas". En octubre de 2019 recibió el doctorado Honoris Causa de la Universidad Juárez del Estado de Durango, por su trayectoria profesional al servicio de la nación.

Diputado federal en 2018
El 27 de agosto de 2018 la fracción parlamentaria del Movimiento Regeneración Nacional lo eligió para ser propuesto como presidente de la Cámara de Diputados —y por tanto del Congreso de la Unión— para el primer año de la LXIV Legislatura; por lo que le correspondió encabezar la sesión en la que protestó como Presidente de México, Andrés Manuel López Obrador. En consecuencia, el 29 de agosto al constituirse la LXIV Legislatura, fue elegido presidente de la mesa directiva para el primer año de ejercicio, que comenzó el primero de septiembre de 2018.

Liverpool could end up signing Naby Keita from RB Leipzig in January, according to Bundesliga expert Lee Price.
He told The Sun: "As I revealed back in June, Keita had agreed terms with Liverpool long ago, and it was just Leipzig playing hard ball.
"Cornered by his release clause of £48m kicking in next summer, the German club always knew that they'd have to come to an agreement this summer to maximise their income, hence charging Liverpool a premium to do the deal now.
"This makes sense for all parties – unless Keita picks up an injury.
"There is a chance, depending on Leipzig's domestic and Champions League progress, that Liverpool could pay a further premium to capture the midfielder in January.
Philippe Coutinho has been told by Brazil legend Pele he doesn't need to leave Liverpool.
The midfielder handed in a transfer request at Anfield amid interest from Barcelona this summer but a move failed to materialise.
And Brazil hero Pele does not think Coutinho needs to change teams to prove his ability.
Pele told Marca: "No. You don't necessarily have to change teams all the time to prove you are good.
Lionel Messi phoned Coutinho in a bid to coax the Brazilian to Barcelona.
Coutinho was chased by Nou Camp chief Ernesto Valverde for several weeks.
However, Liverpool bigwigs dug their heels in and repeatedly refused to let him leave, rejecting a number of offers.
But Barca kept pushing and Spanish media outlet Don Balon say Messi personally called Coutinho as the Catalans upped the ante.
It's suggested Luis Suarez was also involved in the final push to secure his signature.

Q: Manually specify shape of plotly violin or similar trace when using categorical axes I am aiming to combine two types of charts - a horizontal bar chart using a categorical axis and some form of line, scatter, violin, or similar chart that displays a trace paired with each category on the same axes but "dithers" up and down around some bounds.
Below is sort of what I'm trying to create. However, the shape of the violin chart is generated automatically behind the scenes from scattered points. In my use case, I already have what the distributions are and I'm trying to plot them over top of related data.
I can't find a utility in Plotly that allows me to specify a categorical axis, but then offset points, lines, etc from that category-derived position on the axis.

Bob Rolder ran the Friendly Tap, a neighborhood tavern in Berwyn, for more than 30 years.
The late Bob Rolder made sure his Berwyn bar, the Friendly Tap, stayed true to its name.
Bob Rolder ran a neighborhood tavern in Berwyn for more than three decades, greeting customers by name as they walked through the door of the Friendly Tap along a stretch of Roosevelt Road now known as "The Veltway."
He opened at 6 a.m. to accommodate his regulars, mostly tradesmen working the night shift — among them carpenters, plumbers, pipe fitters and ironworkers — who would drop by for a beer before heading home.
Over the years, Mr. Rolder's warmth and affable nature forged lasting friendships and created a loyal following, his family said.
"He was a wonderful listener, who loved a good story," said his daughter Robin Rolder, who began mopping floors at her father's bar around the age of 8. "He had a great sense of humor and laughed easily. He was a real people person."
Mr. Rolder, 90, who after suffering a mild stroke in 1997 continued operating his tavern with the help of family, died of lung cancer Sunday, April 26, at the Illinois Veterans Home in Manteno, his family said. He formerly lived in Oak Park.
"That's all he said, that was it," Pierce recounted with a laugh. "But it turned out to be the best advice he could have given me."
According to family members, Mr. Rolder often worked 16-hour days. He never drank at the bar.
"He used to say, 'Drink and you drink your profits away,'" daughter Kelly Hohman said.
Mr. Rolder's tavern was also a place for coffee and long conversations, as well as an intimate setting for generations of families that gathered to celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays and anniversaries.
"Bob made it a fun place to work and hang out," said Marion Boley, who for years helped out at the tavern. "He had a great memory and knew everybody's name, or at least their nickname."
Born in Chicago, Mr. Rolder grew up in Oak Park and attended Oak Park and River Forest High School. He worked for two years on the receiving dock for Sears, Roebuck and Co., before joining the Navy and serving at a naval base in San Diego during World War II.
After the war, he returned home and to his job at Sears, working his way up to dock foreman. During that time, he also worked part time making deliveries for the Friendly Tap, which at that time had a takeout liquor store. He worked there for 20 years, before leaving his job at Sears and buying the tavern in 1968.
"He cashed out all his Sears stock and bought the bar, something he had wanted to do for a long time," Hohman said.
For years, Mr. Rolder kept hidden behind his bar a cigar box filled with IOUs from people he had lent money to, some small, others totaling in the thousands of dollars. According to family members, he once lent nearly two thousand dollars to a customer he had known for just a short time but who needed the money to buy a car for a new job.
"I doubt he collected on half those loans, but he sure helped out a lot of people that had nowhere else to turn," Boley said.
Mr. Rolder moved to Oak Park in 1959, a year after he was married. His wife, Bonnie, died in 2009. About two years ago, he moved into the Illinois Veterans Home in Manteno.
He is also survived by another daughter, Kerri Williams; two sisters, Jeanne Sikora and Marilyn Noga; and three grandchildren.

There are lots of people that are considering dental implants or dental implants abroad. This is a surgical procedure that has become more popular over the years because it helps you get the smile that you need without tiny me type of bridge or crown. There are more people that are interested in the dental implants when they have things like accidents where they have lost teeth.
There are also people that may have gum disease that may have a need for dental implants. The thing that you need to know is that the surgical procedure is extensive because it comes in two parts. In the first part there is a dental implant post that is placed in the gum, but you do not get the actual dental implant in place until possibly five to eight months down the line. People that are trying to obtain dental implants need to know about this time line before they sign up for these implants.
Another thing that is worth mentioning when it comes to dental implants is the look and appearance of these implants. Most people that are getting consultation about these type of implants want to know if these teeth will feel real. These are implants that are going to feel very realistic to your teeth. These implants also look like real teeth. That is the whole objective of getting the implants.
There are a number of clinics that provide dental implants. People that are trying to get this done might need to get a consultation so that they can find out exactly how expensive these procedures can be.
The titanium post that is used for the dental implant is the most extensive part of the surgical procedure. There are two surgeries and two types of implants – the subperosteal and endosteal. The subpersosteal is outdated, but the endosteal implant that is referred to as a procedure that goes into the bone is still performed on patients that need dental implants. This dental implant market is excelling in growth and billions of dollars are spent annually by patients in insurance companies to provide these types of implants. That shows that there is a large amount of growth in this industry, and people that get these implants are going to feel confident about the alignment of their teeth.
The thing that people may appreciate the most of about dental implants is that these teeth do not have to anchored down like a bridge on the gums. It is the implant post, not the gum line, that plays the most significant part in the dental implant. That is better for oral hygiene. There are some concepts like root canals, bridges and crowns that can be implemented instead of dental implants, but it all depends on the level of trouble you are having with your teeth. It is also relevant to look at the number of teeth that your dental implants will save. If there are several teeth that are being replaced the dental implants may work well for your situation.
