Introduction: In this study, we quantitatively assessed 3-dimensional condylar displacement during counterclockwise maxillomandibular advancement surgery (CMMA) with or without articular disc repositioning, focusing on surgical stability in the follow-up period.
Methods: The 79 patients treated with CMMA had cone-beam computed tomography scans taken before surgery, immediately after surgery, and, on average, 15 months postsurgery. We divided the 142 condyles into 3 groups: group 1 (n = 105), condyles of patients diagnosed with symptomatic presurgical temporomandibular joint articular disc displacement who had articular disc repositioning concomitantly with CMMA; group 2 (n = 23), condyles of patients with clinical verification of presurgical articular disc displacement who had only CMMA; and group 3 (n = 14), condyles of patients with healthy temporomandibular joints who had CMMA. Presurgical and postsurgical 3-dimensional models were superimposed using voxel-based registration on the cranial base. Three-dimensional cephalometrics and shape correspondence were applied to assess surgical and postsurgical displacement changes.
Results: Immediately after surgery, the condyles moved mostly backward and medially and experienced lateral yaw, medial roll, and upward pitch in the 3 groups. Condyles in group 1 showed downward displacement, whereas the condyles moved upward in groups 2 and 3 (P ≤0.001). Although condylar displacement changes occurred in the 3 groups, the overall surgical procedure appeared to be fairly stable, particularly for groups 1 and 3. Group 2 had the greatest amount of relapse (P ≤0.05).
Conclusions: CMMA has been shown to be a stable procedure for patients with healthy temporomandibular joints and for those who had simultaneous articular disc repositioning surgery.

DOVER — Only one team was able to stop the Dover High offense this season.
The Senators have their chance for a rematch tonight.
And this time, there is a berth in the state championship game on the line.
Dover hosts Sussex Central at 7:30 p.m. in the semifinals of the DIAA Division I football state tournament. Dover is seeded second with a 9-1 record while Sussex Central is the third seed and carries a 10-1 record into the contest between the two Henlopen Conference Northern Division rivals.
The two teams met on Sept. 28 — the fourth week of the season. Sussex Central earned a shutout at home with a 21-0 victory.
Dover's lowest point total aside from that game was 35 points. The Senators have averaged 43.8 points per game — the best mark in the state even with the shutout against Sussex Central.
Sussex Central is looking for its first championship game appearance since 2008. Dover meanwhile has not reached the title game since 2001.
This is the first time Dover has made the playoffs since 2013 when the Senators lost to Salesianum in overtime.
Dover has opened up a new school since then and this will be the first state tournament football game played in the new stadium. Dover received a bye in the six-team Division I field so did not have a game last weekend.
The Senators slumped through four consecutive losing seasons after that 2013 playoff berth. Dover only won 12 games over the last four years entering this season.
Peace is a big part of Dover's high-powered offense.
He rushed for more than 100 yards every game except the Sussex Central loss. He has 26 rushing touchdowns in 10 regular season games along with 1,844 yards on 145 carries (12.7 yards per carry.
Peace did record 49 receiving yards against Sussex Central in Week Four but was held in check on the ground. He carried the ball 11 times and only gained seven yards.
Senior quarterback Jordan Magee provided a bulk of the offense for Dover that day with 12-of-19 passing for 136 yards. But Magee too was stymied on the ground, only rushing for 12 yards.
NOTES: The Dover-Sussex Central matchup will be broadcast by Delaware 105.9 FM. … ESPN 930 AM and 102.1 FM will broadcast the Delmar-Woodbridge Division II state semifinal (7:30 p.m.).


How was everyone's week? The Fiji trip just went way too quickly for me. Such a lovely place, I had a beautiful and relaxing time. Hard to get out holiday mode at the moment but Christmas isn't far away.
Share some of your favourites!


I know I'm not the only one sitting here sweating, frantically drinking iced tea and looking forward to the arrival of autumn. Anticipating chilly nights ahead, I'm shopping around for some cozy throw blankets. Here's a few tempting ones from Sourpuss!
I find Sourpuss's Skull blanket to be quite versatile. You can use it in autumn, at Easter, on your birthday, on the way to a funeral, etc!
The "Batt Attack" blanket features black bats on a red background. How perfect for Christmastime!
If your tastes run more to steampunk, the Octopus blanket might fit nicely into your home decor.

Cosmic Horror: From H.P. Lovecraft to Thomas Ligotti
Posted on May 8, 2018 May 9, 2018 by m1k3y
This is the text and slides from a short talk I gave last week.
What do: a racist pulp writer, a reclusive horror writer, the rise of psychedelics, magic & mysticism, two different philosophical movements, the collapse of the world system and a detective tv show have in common?
The answer is: cosmic horror.
In The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, William Blake wrote
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite."
The Doors took their name – via Aldous Huxley's writings about his religious experiences on mescaline – from this and sang about "breaking through to the other side."
But what if you saw things 'as they truly are' and were left horrified by the experience?
This is cosmic horror.
To be broken – to the point of madness – by a confrontation with the raw chaos of an uncaring universe. Or worse.
This is the great contribution of the pulp writer, H.P. Lovecraft.
As Eugene Thacker writes in his first volume on the Horror of Philosophy, In The Dust of This Planet, Lovecraft's protagonists weren't magical or mystical folk, but earnest explorers of the frontiers of knowledge. Scientists. Doctors and Archaeologists.
But what they were doing was akin to magic; using cutting edge technology instead of arcane rituals.
Lovecraft's ill-fated protagonists created what Thacker calls a 'technological magical circle' – usually an experiment gone oh so wrong – trying to penetrate the mysteries of the universe.
Or break on through to the other side…
Only to find something like the hell dimension conjured up in Event Horizon, bleeding into our own.
Lovecraft was unequivocal in his thoughts on the hidden world being revealed. Writing in the opening his classic The Call of Cthulu that…
As we edge closer to a new Dark Age, and are increasingly seeing 'things as they truly are' in the political and entertainment worlds – cosmic horror seems more relevant than than ever.
So what inspired its creation?
H.P. Lovecraft was a white guy living in America during a time of great change.
Big ideas like Quantum Mechanics and the Unconscious were challenging our previous conceptions of the universe and our place in it.
Einstein's Theory of Relativity in particular freaked him out.
Urbanisation and immigration were changing the demographics of America's cities. (Ie there were a lot more non-whites on the streets.)
Lovecraft wasn't a fan of any of this.
He hated progress yet wrote weird fiction – a combination of horror, fantasy, and science fiction.
He was a reactionary.
OK… he was racist as fuck.
He was also – long before DC or Marvel – creating a shared universe, the Cthulhu Mythos, with other pulp writers, such as Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan.
Lovecraft is generally considered the kind of trashy writer best encountered in one's teenage years… yet his legacy is unquestionable.
The term Lovecraftian alone is proof of his lasting influence.
His monsters have become free-floating signifiers in pop culture, shedding their horrific origins to become commodities. (There are Cthulhu plushies, donchaknow…)
But it's in his protagonists' experience of cosmic horror that Graham Harman argues, in Weird Realism: Lovecraft & Philosophy, lifts this writer out of the ghetto of pulp and into the realm of literature.
As Harman explains:
Lovecraft's first description of a Cthulhu idol runs as follows: "If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing… but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful…"
Lovecraft hints at an octopoidal dragon while also suspending that literal depiction…
Any practiced reader of Lovecraft knows that this sort of de-literalizing gesture is not an isolated incident in his stories, but is perhaps his major stylistic trait as a writer.
Graham Harman and Eugene Thacker are part of the Speculative Realist philosophical movement.
Undaunted by the fate his protagonists suffer, they look to Lovecraft for inspiration in understanding the dark forces – like climate change – that are tearing the world apart.
Meanwhile, "Lovecraftian Pastiche" has become an oft derogatory term for fiction influenced by, or set within, the Cthulhu Mythos. Charles Stross's series, The Laundry Files – which mashes together Cthulhu with Bond – is just one example.
If only someone would reinvent cosmic horror for the new Dark Age…
As inciting incidents go, Thomas Ligotti was destined to become a horror writer.
At 17 he took 'a heroic dose' of LSD… and had a panic attack.
Ligotti 'broke on through to the other side' and freaked out.
That bad trip led him on a quest to find others who shared a similar vision; he soon discovered the writings of Lovecraft.
Ligotti was so reclusive that for a long time he was rumoured not to exist at all. There was a conspiracy theory among fans that "Thomas Ligotti" was another pen name for Stephen King.
Primarily a short story writer, he's also written poems, a novella, the best episode of the X-Files never recorded and… a book of philosophy.
It's the last book – which summarised the worldview of his fiction – that enabled him to break through into popular culture.
In 2014 True Detective debuted. The tv show's setting was immediately recognised as a Lovecraftian Pastiche – with its background of weird cults worshipping strange idols – and featured overt references to The Yellow King by Robert W. Chambers; an influence on Lovecraft.
But it was the character of Rust Cohle that made the show.
His monologues weren't Lovecraftian, they were straight from the pages of Ligotti's book of anti-natalist philosophy, The Conspiracy Against the Human Race. So much so that Nic Pizzolatto, the show's creator, was accused of plagiarising him.
Ligotti, now retired from writing, had his work collected by Penguin Classics in Songs of a Dead Dreamer and Grimscribe; instantly elevating him to the realm of literature.
That book's foreward is written by another weird fiction writer, Jeff VanderMeer.
VanderMeer's own work has a Lovecraftian aspect. The force emanating out of Area X in his Southern Reach trilogy being a kind of alien, unknowable, incomprehensible… other; transforming… mutating… everything it encounters.
Ligotti's influence can be seen in the recent adaptation of Annihilation from that series.
What the characters in the novel refer to as a burning 'brightness' inside them mutates in the film to become a Darkness that consumes them.
What Ligotti explores is a change in the locus of cosmic horror; from the extraordinary to the ordinary.
That Darkness, as he often simply calls it, is everywhere. It doesn't have to be sought out.
His protagonists are banal everymen, not heroic scientists.
The cosmic horror is everyday life seen 'as it truly is'.
In this new Dark Age, shaped in part by another philosophical movement, the Dark Enlightment (who overlap with the NeoReactionaries Lovecraft would be among if alive today), things can't be seen as they are without acknowledging the dark forces behind it.
Lovecraft's writings, his legacy and the evolution of cosmic horror have never been more important than now.

Sharon Osbourne breaks down after discovering five of her grandmother's children died – as Who Do You Think You Are viewers are in tears – The Sun

'Station 19': Danielle Savre Teases 2 Bumps in the Road for Maya Bishop and Carina DeLuca in Season 5 (Exclusive)
In ABC's Station 19 Season 5, Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre) and Carina DeLuca (Stefania Spampinato) are happily married and planning to start a family. However, Savre teased that it's not that simple in an exclusive interview with Showbiz Cheat Sheet. The Wild About Harry actor teased some upcoming struggles on the horizon for her Station 19 character, Maya Bishop.
'Station 19' Maya Bishop realized she wanted to have a baby
In the Station 19 Season 4 finale, Maya Bishop and Carina DeLuca finally tied the knot. However, the wedding night was tainted because of a text the entire team received. The Battalion chief removed Bishop as head of Station 19 because she defied his orders. Instead of waiting eight minutes for an AID car to arrive, she transported a young boy in a different vehicle. Although it was against the policy, she saved the child's life.
After spending the day with Dean Miller's daughter, Pruitt Arike Miller, Maya had a change of heart about having children. In the Thanksgiving-themed episode, "Little Girl Blue," she told Carina she wanted to have a baby. Then in Station 19 Season 5 Episode 7, the couple discussed the logistics of starting their family. Maya insisted that Carina carry the baby and contribute the egg. The couple had a romantic day together, dreaming about their future family.
In the Dec. 16 Station 19 Winter Finale, Maya and Carina announced to the station that they planned to have a baby together. Everything this season so far is romantic and happy for the couple. However, in a conversation with Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Savre teased some bumps in the road ahead.
Who will be the sperm donor for Maya and Carina in 'Station 19?'
In an interview with Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Savre explained that both upcoming challenges for Maya Bishop in Station 19 revolve around having a baby with Carina DeLuca.
"There's a lot of elements and a lot of steps that have to be taken and in regards to who's going to be the sperm donor," Savre began. "Is it going to be somebody from a company or a donor place, or is it going to be someone they know? I think that playing with that and seeing kind of how that plays out is really interesting. Then obviously the emotional ups and downs of deciding to have a child and, you know, the stresses that come with that."
Avid viewers of Shondaland shows like Station 19 and Grey's Anatomy know that the sperm donor probably won't be from a sperm bank. Choosing someone the two women know would be more exciting and drama-filled. Will Carina and Maya argue over who to choose? Probably. However, Shondaland fans hope it's not as complicated as the Arizona-Callie-Mark baby, Sofia.
Bishop still wants to be captain at Station 19
"And then and then the other thing is just Maya's heart and her desire to be captain and how that's going to play out — what's going to happen there," Savre added.
In the Station 19 Season 5 Winter Finale, viewers find out that there's a new female fire chief. Bishop revealed her excitement over the step in the right direction for the fire department since a male typically holds the role. Hopefully, this news means Bishop could get her captain position back in the future.
"I think we have always seen Maya struggle with the balance between her career and her personal life," Savre continued. "And before Carina, the only thing that mattered was her career. And now, what should be the most important thing is her relationship with her wife and her desire to have a child. So it's the balance of those two things."
It sounds like Maya's two worlds collide in the back half of Station 19 Season 5.
"So I think that it's really telling that story regardless of the fact that it's an LGBTQ relationship," Savre concluded. "I think it's really valid that a woman is trying to balance taking on the responsibility of being a mother and also balancing her career — a career she wants, but that may not play out the way she wants it to."
Savre's teaser doesn't sound like good news regarding Bishop's career in the upcoming second half of Station 19 Season 5. According to ABC, Station 19 returns on Feb. 24, 2022.

Round 22 Injury Report
Thu 15 Aug 2019, 10:24 AM
General Manager of Football Frank Ponissi has the latest on our injury list as we head into round 22.
Key utility Brandon Smith was a late out for our clash with the Rabbitohs last week after he rolled his ankle during captain's run.
"He's probably another two to three weeks away," Ponissi said.
"He will definitely be back for Manly (round 24) and he's a slight chance for next week against the Titans."
Premiership centre Curtis Scott played his first game for the Sunshine Coast Falcons on the weekend after 13 weeks on the sidelines.
"Curtis played 56 minutes on Sunday and will play a full game this week for the Falcons," Ponissi said.
"He has pulled up well and is focused on a return to first-grade ahead of the finals."
Jahrome Hughes has been named to start at fullback in Saturday night's top four clash with the Raiders at AAMI Park, with Ryan Papenhuyzen named in the 21-man squad on the interchange bench.
"Hughesy was ruled out with back spasms last week (against the Rabbitohs) but he will play this week - he is not in any doubt."
"Paps had a mid-foot sprain."
"He will complete a fitness test on Friday. At this stage we expect he will play."

The classic capers of It's a Knockout are coming to Bosworth Water Park to raise money for the rescheduled Hinckley Carnival.
The It's a Knockout event takes place on Sunday August 2 and the carnival committee are putting the call out for teams of ten to get in touch and put in their entry.
But in a change from last week's report, the new carnival date is no longer September 6 as this clashes with the Shackerstone Family Festival. The committee is working with all parties involved to set a date around the end of August or beginning of September.
The committee hopes by holding as many fundraisers as possible throughout the summer, they can recoup some of the money lost from the cancelled event on Sunday, June 7.
There are a number of things that still have to be paid for even though the event did not go ahead, and the committee may have to refund a number of stall fees if the companies who booked them can't make the rescheduled event, as their insurance doesn't have enough cancellation cover to meet the losses.
Because of the cost of hiring the equipment and the teams that run It's a Knockout, the cost will be £200 for a team of 10.
The winning team will receive £300 in prize money and a trophy. Entry forms are available at the Copyshop on Castle Street and payment can be made in cash or by cheque.
Committee members will be in the Britannia Centre collecting for the carnival this Saturday and also recruiting for It's a Knockout.
There is a family fun night at the Meeting Place, behind Hinckley Leisure Centre, on July 3 and they will also be out at The Clarendon Club and The Wharf doing car washes. Dates to be confirmed.

Intro: The Adventures of John Barleycorn and his Uncle Sam
The post-Prohibition era was very, very good for a very, very small number of people. If you had pushed your way through the 1920s with a toe still dipped in the legal liquor business—by managing, for example, to secure one of the small number of 'medicinal spirits' licenses available—you might be one of the lucky few. If you were huge and successful enough before Prohibition that you had other income sources, and you held on to your booze-making equipment just in case, you might be in luck. If you had a product that might easily be made nonalcoholic—like grape juice, or some kind of malted beverage—the news was also good. The failed Noble Experiment really crushed a previously-competitive industry; with all the small producers out of the game, the landscape was ripe for a total takeover by a few well-positioned companies.
One of those well-positioned companies was called Schenley Industries, and one of those lucky people was its owner, Lewis Rosenstiel. Rosentiel's father was a distiller in Kentucky, and the business-savvy son took dad's idea and blew it up. He acquired several distilleries toward the end of Prohibition, believing it would soon end. His gamble paying off, he built the company into one of giants of the mid-20th century, part of the "big four" of Schenley, Seagrams, Hiram Walker, and National Distillers, which together came to control almost three quarters of the American liquor business.
At the beginning of the 1950s, however, Rosenstiel made a bet that put the whole thing at risk. As Reid Mitenbuler describes it in his excellent book Bourbon Empire, World War II had created a serious whiskey shortage, and when the Korean War began, Rosenstiel figured the same supply pinch was just around the corner, and he ramped up production. When the war wrapped up without the same kind of economic peril, he was in trouble; he had produced far more whiskey than American consumers wanted.
Thankfully for Rosenstiel, he had some serious political connections. The ardent anti-communist was closely aligned with Joseph McCarthy's camp, and close friends with infamous McCarthy lawyer Roy Cohn. He spent much of the 1950s and '60s championing various law changes that might make it easier to sell his stores of whiskey. Some were successful, some were not; all were probably good ideas for the industry in the long run, but nearly all were opposed by at least some of his competitors, since they would have given him a market advantage. Perhaps his most important legislative triumph was the Forand Act, which increased the amount of time distillers could age their whiskey before they had to pay taxes – good for the industry, and very good for Rosenstiel and his supply surplus. What could now be called his most famous success, though, was really only a footnote at the time.
America's growing international role after World War II had created new possibilities for American businesses. One of Rosenstiel's goals was to turn international markets on to American whiskey, and to do that he hoped to build up the prestige of that most American of whiskeys, bourbon. Europe was known for placing trade protections on distinctive regional products, helping to ensure that no one from another country or region would sell something that used the same name as a product heavily associated with a specific place (think "cognac" or "scotch"). Rosenstiel went to Congress and asked them to recognize bourbon in a similar way – as a "distinctive product of the United States."
A few members of Congress had reservations about all this. The distilling industry had an unsavory reputation at the time, with ties to crime bosses and questionable business practices still clinging to it from the Prohibition era. Rosenstiel himself was suspected of crimes related to bootlegging during Prohibition. Why should Congress give bourbon such a show of support?
But, as is so often the case, the economic argument won the day. Those misgivings stayed out of the spotlight, the bill passed in 1964, President Johnson signed it, and hardly anyone noticed. People just didn't find bourbon-related news all that exciting.
And then that changed. The American alcohol scene took off, first with Robert Mondavi and California wine, then with microbreweries and brew pubs, then with the modern cocktail movement and a tide of interest in spirits, especially whiskey. Rosentiel's dream of seeing bourbon on the same pedestal as scotch and other European spirits became reality, and the "distinctive product" label became important, both as an actual trade protection and as a symbol of its national importance. The resolution is now trumpeted by bourbon producers and aficionados as an essential moment in American whiskey history. It's quite the sentimental legacy for such a calculated move.
Funnily enough, today references to the law often claim that it named bourbon "America's Native Spirit", not just a distinctive product, though those words never appear in the bill. In fact, when the Senate declared September National Bourbon Heritage Month in 2007, their resolution began: "Whereas Congress declared bourbon as "America's Native Spirit" in 1964…"
The first source for this post was Reid Mitenbuler's excellent book Bourbon Empire, with additional research into several of the sources cited therein, as well as archived newspaper articles on Rosenstiel, this Slate article by Mitenbuler, and this interview with him.

When the holiday season comes, people must plan it in a thorough way on which gifts are good for men and it can make their problems to be simple and there are numerous lists which people can follow when buying gifts. Most people can also get to try to focus on hobby specific gifting that men can do especially since a large number of men are still interested by normal hobbies where they would collect different kinds of toys. One of the truly first gifts which individuals can buy are remote controlled planes and helicopters, this is the right solution to their problems on which products they can purchase to provide as a gift to men that they are close to.
Most people can easily be assured which they can find numerous range of RC products on the market, they can easily use these products as a good hobby during their free time where thjey can fly these RC planes. When men likes to fly RC planes and also helicopters, they would also provide them the chance of flying real planes and helicopters by providing them flying lessons as a gift during their birthdays and also holidays.
A number of people would also give men as a gift sports memorabilia, there are numerous ranges of items in the market that are offered that men would usually think are interesting for them to own due to their love of sports. They can give them a picture frame of a sports item which can be soccer ball or a baseball bat which has been signed by the favourite player of the one that they are going to give it to, these are priceless gifts that men can appreciate.
Electric train sets are also a good gifting option for men, there are different kinds of train sets that people can purchase and there are different brands that are known to produce high quality train sets. Most men can also have a good chance on working on their train sets for long amounts of time, they can build them and also design unique train tracks and build a diorama based on their overall theme.
Individuals would also give to men gifts like optics and telescopes, a number of men loves to bird watch and also star gazing on their free time and they can utilize these gifts in an extensive way during their free time. There are surely different kinds of gifts that are good for men to give, people can only get to do enough research on which one of these gifts are good to purchase and also know which type of hobbies they have.


Does My Tooth Look Good In This?
Sometimes a front tooth may not look very good. It may be chipped, worn or discoloured. It may have one or more large old fillings that have become stained or don't match the colour of your surrounding teeth. A replacement filling may not be an option because the surrounding tooth structure could of weakened over time due to tooth decay. In instances like this, it may be advisable to consider a veneer. If you are concerned about the look of your teeth because of chipping, tooth wear or discolouration, then a veneer is definitely the option you are looking for.
Veneers are all about aesthetics. It can be thought of as a resurfacing treatment for your teeth much like what false nails do for your fingernails. False nails are glued to the front of the real nails, resulting in a new appearance while the real nails remain underneath relatively unchanged. Veneers provide a similar effect for teeth. The tooth under a veneer is not significantly altered, but the veneer on top can provide the desired new shape, size and colour. Like false nails where all the fingernails on each hand are usually covered, veneers are commonly done on all teeth that are most visible when someone smiles, typically the front 6 upper teeth.
Veneers can be made from porcelain or composite resin (tooth coloured filling material.) Porcelain veneers are made in the same way crowns are made. At the first appointment, the tooth is first reshaped and an impression taken of the prepared tooth. A plastic temporary veneer is placed to cover the prepared tooth while a Dental Technician makes the final veneer using the impression in a Dental Laboratory. Usually 2 weeks later, the final veneer is ready to be fitted onto the tooth at a second appointment. Porcelain veneers are beautiful restorations that can look amazingly natural.
Composite resin veneers are a cheaper alternative to porcelain veneers. Composite resin veneers are directly built onto the tooth usually in one longer appointment, with the result immediately visible. However, composite resin is basically a reinforced plastic material. Because of this composite resin veneers have less strength and aesthetics compared to porcelain veneers. They can wear and slowly lose their shine and colour over time. They can be renewed by surface polishing or by re-coating their surfaces with new composite resin so that it is not always necessary to replace the whole veneer over time.
Have We Got A Veneer For You?
How Did We End Up Veneer?
As we've mentioned, a veneer is used for aesthetic purposes. Over time no matter how much care you take with your teeth you will likely end up with some wear and tear. Even the most regular patients find that their front teeth don't look as fresh as they did in their teenage years. Small chips and minor tooth wear are not uncommon on our thinner front teeth. While regular brushing and dental checkups can prevent the need for veneers, there really is no beating the clock on this one.
Don't let minor issues with your front teeth affect your confidence in day to day life. What you are experiencing is not uncommon and a veneer is an excellent solution to restore that new tooth look. Veneers are not something you'll need all the time, and not something you have to have. But if you are finding your confidence is down because of a little bit of wear then just prioritise the solution. The people around you want to see that beautiful smile and you need to have the confidence to show off those pearly whites.
An attractive smile is worth more than a simple money figure. However, money tends to be the major limiting factor when it comes to achieving an attractive smile. Many patients know what dental veneers or teeth veneers are. They understand what dental veneers can do for their smile. They want dental veneers, however they also think that dental veneers cost a lot of money and are out of their price range. Some patients opt for the cheaper material simply because of cost. They know the difference between porcelain veneers and composite veneers. They understand that dental veneers in porcelain are stronger, more aesthetically pleasing and last longer than those made in composite resin. However, the prices of porcelain dental veneers stop them from choosing this material. Composite dental veneers are cheaper and can give quite a good result, but don't give the best result and do not last a long time due to chipping and staining issues of the weaker material. Some patients are so restricted by the dental veneers cost in Brisbane and Australia in general, that they even look for options overseas, like getting dental veneers in Thailand. The prices of their package deals may be cheaper than in Brisbane, but dental tourism or dental vacations come with their risks and may cost you more money if something doesn't go as planned.

Q: Parsing Arguments Through Class Method I want to send input through a calculator Class. A sample is as follows:
class Calculator
  def initialize(num1, num2, op)
    @num1 = num1
    @num2 = num2
    @op = op
  end

  def addition
    if @op == "+"
      sum = @num1 + @num2
    end
    puts sum
  end
end

p calc = Calculator.new(2, 5, '+')

This is not working as intended. There is a way to do this with a switch statement in C++ (parsing out what function to go to based on the operand), but I am slightly confused as to how to parse input through definitions in by a class in Ruby. Any tips would be really appreciated.

A: You can use send. Pass the string to it, together with the other operand, and that method will be executed.
@num1, @num2, @op = 2, 5, "+"
@num1.send(@op, @num2) # => 7

@num1, @num2, @op = 2, 5, "*"
@num1.send(@op, @num2) # => 10

A: As it is not hard to convert your example to do something useful I will give it a shot. Try the following:
class Calculator
  def initialize(num1, num2, op)
    @num1 = num1
    @num2 = num2
    @op = op
  end

  def execute
    res = nil
    case @op
      when "+"
        res = @num1 + @num2
      when "-"
        res = @num1 - @num2
    end
    # puts res
    res
  end
end

calc = Calculator.new(2, 5, '+')
calc.execute
# => 7

calc = Calculator.new(2, 5, '-')
calc.execute
# => -3

This should give you an idea as the #execute method will return the result you expect. If you want it printed instead you can uncomment the puts res in there, note however, that puts will return a nil. If you do not want to call #execute yourself on the Calculator object you may include the call into the initializer as @bjhaid suggested.
As I still fail to understand what you really want to accomplish (just "executing the appropriate method" is usually not all you want to do, you will need the result somewhere) this might not be enough. But I hope it gives you an idea on how to continue, otherwise you would have to clarify your intensions (and drop a comment on this answer as I would not notice if you do not).

Of the raft of new men's fragrances that have landed on my desk of late (most of which copy each other in what amounts to olfactory cannibalism) one – Armani Code Profumo – has leapt out at me. As well as being housed in one of the most ridiculously sensual bottles you'll ever come across it happens to pretty decent fragrance too. It takes its cues, of course, from the other Armani Code bottles but feels more premium thanks to heavier, thicker glass and there's a grained collar at the top of the bottle that's supposed to resemble a cummerbund. And the fragrance itself? Well, it's a woody-ambery number that's intensely balsamic and vanillary, with creamy tonka bean (the signature note of the Code fragrances) supported by hints of leather, tobacco and styrax (included to bolster the tonka since it also has a vanillary vibe). The result is an exceptionally sensual fragrance that's gourmandy without being sickly or cakey and one that's perfect for warm summer evenings. Recommended.

Reducing soil fertility to enable ecological restoration: A new method to test the efficacy of Full-Inversion Tillage
Milligan, G. and Scott, R. and Young, D. and Connor, L. and Blackbird, S. and Marrs, R. (2017) Reducing soil fertility to enable ecological restoration: A new method to test the efficacy of Full-Inversion Tillage. Ecological Engineering, 98. pp. 257-263. ISSN 0925-8574
Reducing soil fertility to enable ecological restoration_ A new method to test the efficacy of Full-Inversion Tillage.pdf - Accepted Version
Official URL: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/...
Ecological restoration of high-quality, semi-natural communities of conservation value on ex-arable soils with raised fertility has been a major problem in northern Europe. One suggested way of tackling this problem is to use Full-Inversion Tillage (FIT) where the fertile top-soil is moved below infertile sub-surface layers. This should provide infertile conditions at least in the short- to medium-term for the establishment of communities that require these conditions. Here, we pioneer a rigorous test of the efficacy of this approach. Our new method, using Principal Response Curves (PRCs), overcomes the difficulty in testing for change in soil physico-chemical properties down soil profiles with the inherent problem of autocorrelations between soil layers. Principal Response Curves (PRCs) is a multivariate technique, usually used to test for effects of treatment effects through time on a community matrix. We propose an extension of their use for the multivariate analysis of properties down a soil-depth profile. We tested the effects of FIT in two contrasting soils, before and after treatment. In a clay loam soil, FIT was effective in reducing the soil fertility in the surface 12 cm. Indeed the soil available P concentration, a key variable, was more than halved in the surface layers, and was below the lowest literature target threshold for the establishment of semi-natural grassland. In contrast, in the sandy soil, soil properties increased throughout the profile after FIT, primarily because of the pre-treatment nutrient distribution within the soil. Before FIT treatment, the maximum concentrations of most measured variables were at mid-depth and FIT redistributed these to the surface and bottom layers. Our results demonstrate the potential for FIT in ecological restoration, but indicate that its efficacy depends on soil type and the site history. We recommend that in future a pre-treatment assessment of soil properties with depth is undertaken before FIT is implemented, and that afterwards our PRC approach can be used to test efficacy immediately after treatment, and has the potential for measuring soil resilience to perturbation through time.

In the album "70/80" will feature the song "Zakhodyvsya u viyni" by "Kamyaniy gist
"Zakhodyvsya u viyni" is the only singing group "Kamyaniy gist" that you hear on the album "70/80". It is written by the group's leader, Yuriy Veres in the fall of 2013, several months before the events on Maidan.
This song is about a soldier who is in the thick of the war. In each dream he sees his family happy around him. But, waking up screaming and explosions, he is forced again to go into battle, although it is on the brink and unable to see the death of their comrades.
Yuriy Veres: "there Are songs that are written by themselves, when something from outside the text dictates and sings the melody. I felt similar when he wrote "Sahadeva at win". The song is built on one breath. I could not understand why this topic has arisen now, in time of peace. Even a year ago it was difficult to imagine that life will change so drastically and our country will be forced to go through such an ordeal."

The leak is the display size of Samsung's next year's folding phone
By Shuvro
Last updated December 26, 2020 12:24 PM

Reports have surfaced that Samsung plans to launch a number of phones under its Fold series next year. There is also speculation that in 2021 the South Korean tech giant may launch tablets with triple folding designs and phones with transparent or transparent display panels. This time, display analyst Ross Young brought out information about the display of Samsung's upcoming foldable series of phones.
According to him, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 will come with a smaller display in size than its predecessor However, the display of Z Flip 3 will be a bit bigger. He said the third-generation Galaxy Z Fold will have a slightly smaller display than the Galaxy Z Fold 2's 6.59-inch display. Samsung can give a 6.55 inch main display and the cover display can be reduced to 7.21 inches. He also said that with a 5: 4 aspect ratio and 365 ppi pixel density, the resolution of the main display will be around 2208×16 pixels.
Lately it has been heard that Samsung, Galaxy Z Fold 3 will have stylish pen support. Launched in August this year, the Galaxy Z Fold 2 had a display size of 6.23 inches. According to Ross, the display size will be reduced to make room for the S-Pen in the chassis of the phone. Accordingly, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 will be the first foldable with stylish pen support that will come with UTG or Ultra Thin Glass Display.
In this context, the company could not provide the S-Pen on its predecessor foldable phone, as Samsung could not create an additional screen protection layer to prevent scratches on the screen when it came in contact with the S Pen and the screen at that moment. But now the company is using Ultra Thin Glass (UTG) instead of Transparent Polyamide (CPI) film on the screen, so the upcoming foldable phone will have S-Pen support.
Now let's come to the context of Samsung's clamshell design phones. Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Z Flip Lite phones will have a 6.60 inch display. Compared to the predecessor, their display size will be increased by 0.03 inch The size of the cover display of Z Flip 3 will be 1.61 inches. According to the report, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 will have a 120 Hz refresh rate LTPO display. That's all there is to it about phones.

In this special installment of Collider Kids, our weekly family-friendly article that puts the spotlight on content for our younger viewers, we talked with Ready Jet Go!
creator Craig Bartlett (Hey Arnold!, Dinosaur Train) about the science-focused PBS Kids show and its upcoming holiday special. Ready Jet Go!: Holidays in Boxwood Terrace will launch on PBS KIDS this December 11th (check local listings). The merry and bright special will also be available to stream for free beginning that date on pbskids.org and the PBS KIDS Video App, and fans can check it out via the 24/7 PBS KIDS Channel as well.
Craig Bartlett: I would say it's a kids-first space show. It's about an alien kid who comes to live in the neighborhood, so in the cul de sac you have this guy from outer space.
They're all really huge fans of the Earth; Jet and his parents, they think it's the greatest. So kids who are watching, I hope they get an idea of how great the Earth is from watching Jet say how great it is. Basically, they keep going out into space and looking back at the Earth, and that's my favorite message to kids: Once we see the Earth from space, we realize how precious it is.
Bartlett: I think the space piece is interesting because it really does represent that frontier of our ability to accomplish things. The things we do when we send probes out into space and navigate them around planets, bringing back the most beautiful photography that I can think of ... The new pictures from Juno, of Jupiter's surface, are perfect examples of that. And there's something really impressive to me about the engineers and scientists who create those machines, and they get out there and perform these maneuvers that are all about amazing math ... even though math isn't even my thing, I still have this appreciation for how beautiful an endeavor that is.
Jet is, as an alien, just running around, super curious about everything; he's not super- critical, he's super-curious. That's why there are several characters: Sean is the one going, "Wait, wait, wait, we have to be scientific about this." And Sydney's creative and using her imagination. And then Mindy, the fourth character, is just meant to represent real four-year-olds. [laughs] In Season 2, she turns 5. We had a running gag where once she turns 5 she can go to space, so we send her into space in Season 2.
Bartlett: So great. On Dinosaur Train, we worked with Scott Sampson, who is a paleontologist who basically tells you what's new in paleontology. Amy is that for us, too. Every time we sit down for a bunch of shows, we go, "Amy, what's new in space?" She loves that things that they just discover wind up on the show. She calls it bleeding- edge science, where if they make a discovery about an asteroid, or discoveries about Pluto–both Amy and I are big fans of Pluto, we just like it because it's small and cute, and of course got kicked out of the planets. We wanted to do a story, but we knew that it's been three years since New Horizons went by. However, when we were writing our Pluto show, she said, "Wait, hold on. Let's not really start that one until New Horizons goes by." So we got all that information and put it right into the episode. That aspect of it's really fun.
It's the same with Dinosaur Train, too. Scott Sampson made a new discovery one summer, and in the fall, that was a character in the next episode. That stuff is really fun. They're finding brand new stuff and we get to include it in our show. And Amy's just incredible. She's very creative, has a great sense of humor, and she shoots those live- action interstitials for us. Her day job is managing teams who look at space telescopes, and they're tracking near-Earth objects and looking at the asteroid belt and that kind of stuff, and she says there's a lot of running numbers in that job, so she loves to take a break and work on our show. She pours a ton of energy into advising us on all this science. It's the best; I can't think of anything cooler.
Bartlett: By the time we got to that one, that was at the end of our first two seasons worth of shows, so we were like, "Well, we have to do a Christmas special. That'll be great!" It was fun to have done it that long. We've had several episodes where Jet kind of puts on a show. Truly, one of the foundations when I pitched it was that Jet is kind of a Music Man. Jet is this little alien kid but he's kinda dancing around like the Music Man with his elbows out, marching around, and he's always ready to burst into song. That aspect where Jet, he's kind of irrepressible–you can't keep him from starting a show– and by the time we'd gotten to the Christmas show, we had already done several of those. So the Christmas special is kind of meta. Jet's like, "A Christmas pageant? What's that? Great! Let's go look at it!" He immediately goes downtown and finds Mr. Petersen, who's one of the DSA guys, and he can't wait to hand over the directorial reins to Jet; he's been doing it for years and he's exhausted. Jet comes in with a whole pitch sequence and Petersen can't wait to give it to him. So now you have Jet, the alien kid, directing a Christmas pageant.
On his hopes for "Holidays in Boxwood Terrace" becoming a holiday favorite: Bartlett: I hope so. I really like that. I think that's the nicest thing about the holiday shows. I totally hope it'll be a perennial and that people will watch it. I hope that the show gets to go on so we can make more in the future.
Ready Jet Go! makes the science of space cool for the 3- to 8-year-old set with vibrant animation, action-packed adventure and high-energy music, taking young viewers on a journey into outer space, and building on their natural curiosity about science, technology and astronomy. The series also features a leading NASA astronomer – the Jet Propulsion Lab's Dr. Amy Mainzer, the show's science curriculum consultant who stars in its fun and informative live-action segments.

Developmental and Medical psychologist, Diana Baumrind's work on management kinds spawned her investigation into how dad and mom lead their families. The forms of parenting styles that I am referring to (and that you could be learn extra about beneath) are positive parenting, attachment parenting, unconditional parenting, non secular parenting and gradual parenting. Although this parenting fashion might sound good to most youngsters, this style isn't related to the best outcomes. If one parent is authoritative, however, this can assist mitigate the other guardian's authoritarian, permissive or uninvolved parenting. This is one of the largest parenting traits of right now, where youngsters are allowed to venture exterior the closed-in field that modern society has created.
Complete Basic Parenting Questionnaire (caregivers of 1 to four year olds)a. Gentle corporal punishment equivalent to spanking is taken into account a traditional aspect to parenting in many Indian families. Authoritarian – In this parenting style, the dad and mom set the rules they usually merely expect their kids to follow. You and your partner might want to sit down and hash out the potential points from every of your upbringings that might have an effect on your parenting collectively. Some instances are hereditary, parents, themselves raised in a adverse atmosphere with no expression of affection, guidance, assist, or positive communication are liable to modelling this parenting model.
In Asian ethnic families, authoritarian parenting is linked to constructive social outcomes and tutorial success, due partly to parenting goals and training specific to Asian-origin families. Neglectful parenting is among the most dangerous types of parenting that can be used on a baby. In this context, an understanding of different parenting types could also be helpful. Furthermore, the optimistic and unfavourable youngster outcomes associated with various kinds of parenting types in preschool children could not necessarily apply to children at later phases of improvement.
The problem right here is that trying to insulate kids from all dangers can even deprive them of opportunities for play and social interplay which can be crucial for his or her growth. Parenting on this technology or any has been a very influential factor in how a toddler may change into in a future. Because of the intrinsic type of Chinese tradition, it's seldom to encounter supportive parents. Future research could explore if overprotective parenting is also current amongst parents with children of varied ages and from different cultural or socio-economic backgrounds.
Children want each a mom and a father, and it isn't nearly family solidarity. On this evaluation, we controlled for BMI z score at 36 months and had been unable to indicate any attenuation of impact of parenting type on youngster obese in first grade. Neglectful parenting is in contrast to the other styles in that parents not often fluctuate naturally into neglectful parenting as a response to little one behavior. Specifically, it examines the relation between parental role, adolescent gender, nation of origin, SES and these perceptions. There are 4 frequent parenting fashion which might be follow throughout the phrase that are Authoritarian, Authoritative, Permissive and Neglecting.
As a parenting fashion, authoritarian parenting is characterised by high behavior management (demandingness) and low parental responsiveness (heat). The inclusion of this variable within the mannequin didn't alter or attenuate the affiliation between parenting style and chubby danger, providing proof that parenting model was not affected by the child's previous weight standing. In line with Baumrind 9, responsiveness refers to the extent to which folks deliberately foster individuality and self-assertion by being attuned, supportive, and acquiescent to children's wants and demands" (p. 410).
And the outcomes clearly show that the most effective outcomes, both socially and academically, are related to parenting kinds with excessive responsiveness, clear explanation and moderate self-discipline (the authoritative type). Permissive dad and mom do not set clear boundaries, and have a tendency to just accept their kid's conduct regardless if it is good or dangerous. How a father manages rough play determines whether this type of play helps a child's development of peer competence and emotional regulation or whether the kid simply becomes more aggressive.
Obviously, the family that abuses or neglects a baby shall be detracting from his pure growth. As an illustration, if youngsters are likely to grow to be more anti-social over the years – even after controlling for their preliminary conduct problems – that is stronger proof that a particular parenting model is not less than partly accountable. Before policy-makers and clinicians can set pointers or make recommendations concerning acceptable parenting behaviour, the extent to which the analysis conclusions apply to completely different ethnic/racial/cultural and socioeconomic groups should be evaluated.
Even if you happen to suppose you are just winging it, you most likely fall into certainly one of these parenting classes. Thus with a view to feel accepted the child will show 'good' habits – not because it feels good as such but as a result of the kid has learnt that good conduct results in approval and a spotlight. Different elements such as tradition, ethnic background, and social dynamics additionally play a job in shaping the child's conduct. Although Baumrind's concepts have been utilized in locations as different as Brazil, China, Scandinavia, Mediterranean Europe, and Turkey (Martinez et al 2007; Zhange et al 2017; Turkel and Teser 2009; Olivari et al 2015), the 4 primary kinds do not always map onto local parenting methods.
In its most excessive form, such a parenting usually leads to the authorities getting concerned, since neglectful parenting places a child in peril. They will dictate suitable pursuits, involve themselves heavily of their youngsters's daily lives and 'hover' relentlessly, thus the term Helicopter parenting. Throughout cultures, authoritative parenting is consistently linked with higher child outcomes. As broad as it might sound, authoritative parenting combines parental responsiveness and parental demandingness vis-Ã -vis the age of a child.
Even for parents with the identical parenting type, they could select to make the most of totally different parenting practices which can have an effect on the diploma of outcomes. When they do not show that good habits they also know that the consequence will all the time happen: these will not be fun however these might be fair. I agree with you that our perspective depend on the tradition through which we have been raised and the system in which we have been parented in. There is a cross-cultural misunderstanding in regard to parenting self-discipline and corporal punishment.
Dr. William Sears and his spouse, Martha, were the primary to describe attachment parenting as a style that highly calls for responsiveness from parents. There are tons of parenting strategies on the market, some of them relatively radical and different unconventional. She distinguished between Authoritative, Authoritiarian, Permissive and Uninvolved parenting. As a quickly to be mother or father, i have been pondering alot about parenting kinds and how I'm going to be as a dad or mum. Be aware that you may not essentially fall into any of the 4 categories as a result of the types aren't water-tight.

I have some doubts regarding some cccure Quiz questions and concepts mentioned below. Would really appreciate it if you could take out some time and help me with them. Request you to please provide a quick reply as I need to appear for the exam in the month of July.
Which of the following is not provided by a public key infrastructure (PKI)?
You did not provide any answer to this question. Please review details below.
A Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) provides confidentiality, access control, integrity, authentication and non-repudiation. It does not provide reliability.
Source: TIPTON, Hal, (ISC)2, Introduction to the CISSP Exam presentation. Available at http://www.cccure.org.
1. PKI can provide confidentiality by way of using receiver's public key to encrypt a message?
2. PKI can provide authentication and non-repudiation by way of using the sender's private key to sign a message?
3. For any symmetric or asymmetric cryptography algorithm to provide integrity as a service, we need to involve a hashing algorithm. Can any symmetric/ asymmetric algorithm provide integrity as a service by default without using a hashing algorithm?
4. Please explain how PKI can provide access control and integrity?
From the questions presented, it seems that you will need to go over the whole cryptography domain in details.
CORRECT AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A VALID PKI IN PLACE!
In cryptography, a cipher block chaining message authentication code (CBC-MAC) is a technique for constructing a message authentication code from a block cipher. The message is encrypted with some block cipher algorithm in CBC mode to create a chain of blocks such that each block depends on the proper encryption of the previous block. This interdependence ensures that a change to any of the plaintext bits will cause the final encrypted block to change in a way that cannot be predicted or counteracted without knowing the key to the block cipher.
A digital certificate can be use as an access control mechanism either on the logical side or even the physical side today. For example to access many of the .mil websites on the net you need to have a certificate issued by the DoD which is usually kept on a smartcard (CAC Card).
Integrity of course is through the usage of digital signature.
it could be frustrating to others though.
Sorry I saw the below message a bit late.
Didn't want my mails to be an anoyance - would have preferred to send my questions in 10 attachments in a single mail to be very honest but since that was not allowed so I thought this was the normal way.
Anyways... no more individual question mails :).


Moroccan regulations governing the entry to Morocco stipulate that any foreigner wishing to travel to Morocco should have a valid passport or any other document recognized by the Moroccan State as a travel document (Law No. ° 02-03, November 11, 2003 linked to foreigners' entry and stay in Morocco).
