The dental implant procedure is a series of procedures where your missing tooth is replaced at the roots by an artificial tooth. In recent decades dental implant surgery has been the preferred alternative to other tooth replacements like dentures and bridges.
The procedures that are performed will depend on your personal circumstances and condition of your jaw. Let's take a closer look at what is required for successful dental implant surgery.
Before you can move forward with dental implants you require a thorough dental examination. Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and jaw. He will take x-rays of your mouth and discuss your medical and dental history with you.
Not everyone is eligible for dental implant surgery and it is important that your gums are generally healthy and that you do not have any uncontrolled or chronic medical conditions that affect your body's ability to heal.
Once your dentist has evaluated the number of teeth to be replaced, what sort of condition your jaw bone is in and what your long term needs are he will be able to draw up a treatment plan that documents each step of the tooth implant procedure.
If it is still in your mouth, the damaged tooth will be removed first. Then your jaw will be prepared for dental implant surgery. If you require a bone graft, it will be done at this stage. If your tooth has been missing for some time, you may have bone loss.
Having sufficient bone to anchor the implant into is very important. If you do not have enough of your own, your dentist may perform a bone graft by taking bone tissue from another part of your body (or another source) and implanting it at the site.
If you do not require a bone graft, an incision will be made into your gum to expose your jaw. The dental implant will be placed and the incision will be closed up.
You will need to give your jaw time to heal after dental implant surgery and this could take a few months to complete. You can only move forward with your treatment plan once healing is fully completed. This is important because your jaw needs to integrate the implant into it, a process that is known as osseointegration. This is what makes the implant strong and stable.
Sometimes the abutment, an extension component, can be placed at the same time as the implant, at other times your dentist may wait a few months for healing to take place.
In order to do this, your gum will need to be re-opened to access your implant. The abutment will be attached, and then your gum tissue will be closed again.
Your dentist will make a cast of your teeth so that he can create a realistic crown that blends in with your natural teeth. Once your soft tissue has healed completely, the crown can be placed onto the abutment.
Placing the implant in your jaw may only take an hour or two in the chair, but the entire dental implant process can take up to 12 months from start to finish.
The total period of time depends on the complexity of your personal circumstances and your body's ability to heal itself. Your dentist will give you an indication of the timeline when he creates your treatment plan.

Please Return the Siloam Inscription to Jerusalem
By Hershel Shanks
The Siloam Inscription is the most famous, most significant and most precious ancient Hebrew inscription ever discovered. Carved in elegant paleo-Hebrew letters, the kind used by the Israelites before the Babylonian Exile, it was found in 1880 carved in the rock wall of Hezekiah's Tunnel, beneath the oldest inhabited part of Jerusalem known as the City of David. Soon thereafter vandals chiseled the carefully prepared surface out of the rock, breaking the inscription into several pieces. The pieces were then sold to an antiquities dealer, from whom the Ottoman authorities recovered them, ultimately taking them to Istanbul. The inscription is now in a display case in a part of the Istanbul Archaeological Museum not generally open to the public, so it is rarely seen today.
The Siloam Inscription should be returned to Jerusalem.
There is ample precedent for the return of this great cultural treasure to its original home—especially since there is no question where it came from, to 059whose culture it belongs or that it was removed from an immovable monument. Moreover, for the Turks it has little, if any, significance. Nor is it particularly beautiful—unless you appreciate the finer points of ancient paleo-Hebrew lettering. Turkey will be especially understanding of such a request because she herself is seeking—and obtaining—the return of cultural treasures from her own plundered past.

Korean Entertainment and the War on Women
Earlier this week, cosmetic company Mamonde released a commercial advertisement for their new "total solution" skin care product featuring one of SNSD's resident symbols of perfect(ly unattainable) womanhood, Yuri. Cue the fangirling! Except…wait a minute. This time around, your regularly scheduled helping of fawning over Yuri's flawlessness is accompanied by a most unusual side dish: feminist rage.
To which I say: really?
Okay, I'll bite: this advertisement is outrageously gendered in the worst possible way. It isn't even attempting to be subtle in its portrayal of the complete subordination of women to men. It's an in-your-face, undeniable endorsement of women accepting their own incapability and willingly turning over the reins of responsibility and power to men. The fact that the premise of the commercial is barely even tangentially related to the actual product it portends to endorse adds another layer of total inanity. It's a horrible commercial and it's a shame that Yuri was made to act like such a stereotypically stupid woman.
But this just in: when it comes to women, nearly everything in K-pop is ridiculously gendered — and a fantastically gross proportion of it is complicit in portraying the exact same subordination and subjugation of women that we see in the commercial above. Did it really take something as blatant as Yuri coming to the conclusion that a boyfriend will solve the immediate issue of not having enough cash to buy a designer handbag for people to start getting pissed off?
Let's think about this. Why are people upset about the commercial? Because it makes women look bad. And how does the rest of K-pop make women look?
Pretty much like that.
For those who don't understand the meaning of the expression "molla / 몰라," it translates as, "I don't know." And the above songs are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the total number of times that girl group members say, "I don't know" in any given song that obviously orients to the cutesy concept. It is usually used to express the singer's innocence and can often be found in conjunction with such feminist phrases as, "Oh, what should I do?" "This is my first time to feel this way!" "'I'm so shy!" "I like Oppa!"
Hyperbole aside (obviously, the above does not represent absolutely everything in K-pop), there is a serious problem with the way females are represented in K-pop — and it isn't just aegyo that's to blame. Of course, acting like a sexually -developed child is not helping matters, but everything — from styling and dress to lyrics — contributes to the sense of overall inferiority that women in K-pop project. Women are infantilized and subordinated to a ridiculous extent, portrayed as clueless pre-teens that are utterly reliant on the men in their lives to guide them in the ways of love. And unfortunately, this sort of behavior, dress, and language directly reflects and enforces the idea of how the perfect woman should act in order to attract a man.
One could argue that groups do not always choose to play up the cute concept, and it is true that many groups alternate between "cute" and "sexy" in order to shake things up a bit. However, the "sexy" concepts are rarely about empowering women and deal mostly with either taking revenge on playboy boyfriends or bemoaning the loss their boyfriends due to a painful breakup. Either way, women in K-pop almost always orient themselves around men (or at the very least, the idea of men) in promoting themselves. Even songs that seem like they should be about girl power and the strength of women wind up being accompanied by disastrous visuals or lyrics that totally subvert the purported intention of the song. Consider Lee Hyori's "U-Go-Girl." The title clearly implies the empowerment of the feminine, but the accompanying video (in which geeky, book-reading Hyori transforms into a sexy bombshell after being mocked by a bunch of guys with Euro-mullets) completely destroys any chance of this actually happening. Viewers are left with a simple equation: books and glasses = bad; plastic surgery + makeup + hot clothes = good! As if the music video hadn't already destroyed any credibility it might have originally had, Hyori is also seen holding a damn lollipop. For the love of god, why is she holding a lollipop?!
The same can be said of Lim Jeong-hee's last hit, "Golden Lady." In this case, the lyrics tell of an independent woman who is kicking her mooch of a boyfriend out of her apartment — but the fact that the independent woman is played by the aegyo-saturation that is G.Na does very little to reinforce this idea of a badass woman who buys her own car and house without a man.
It's all well and good that people have decided to be outraged by Mamonde's commercial, but really, they could have decided to be outraged much, much long ago — the material has been there. What accounts for the silence? It could be a change in women's attitudes over time, but I'm more inclined to suspect that this sort of infantilization and subordination has sadly been internalized by many women to the point where it has become commonplace and even expected. With the boom of girl groups since the early 2000s, women have increasingly been bombarded with visual images of this sort of behavior, and it seems that it has now become deeply embedded in the societal discourse surrounding women, gender, and the attainment of the ideal. Yuri's advertisement did more than just portray this kind of gender stereotype — it verbalized it, and perhaps this is why many viewers felt that it was just too much.
It is my hope that female consumers of K-pop stop being complacent with their own subjugation. The backlash against Mamonde is a start, but it isn't enough to change the way that the K-pop industry has operated for a number of years. Women ought to speak out more in favor or an honest and empowering portrayal of women in Korean entertainment, or they will continue to reinforce their own subordination through tacit endorsement and complicit consumption of the way things are.
What do you say, Seoulmates? How did you feel about Mamonde's commercial?

Q: Visual Basic Console Application Copy Percentage? I am making a Console Application that will copy larger files (up to 2 GB) (with My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory) and I would like make a percentage indicator. I just want it to show the current percentage in numbers (ex. 23%). I'm new to Visual Basic and I have no idea how to do this.
Any help would be appreciated.

A: You can simply print line like this:
"Copy process: 30% done    \r"
to the console (note few extra spaces in the end - you will need them to erase old junk). Also note that \r will return cursor the the beginning of line, so next print will occupy the same line.

A: Here a code sample to show percentage indicator in a console application:
For i = 1 To 100
  Console.Write(String.Format("Copy progress: {0}%" & vbCr, i))
  Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
Next

VB.NET does not react to \r, you need to use vbCr const instead.
Also notice that you don't need extra spaces in the end, because percentage values will always increase - cleanup is not necessary.

West Zone champions Baroda and South Zone runners-up Kerala made a winning start to their campaign in the Syed Mushtaq Ali All India T20 tournament by defeating Bengal and Delhi, respectively.
Baroda, who won all their four league games in the zonal event, notched up their fifth straight victory by overwhelming Bengal by seven wickets at the Sharad Pawar Cricket Academy ground in the Bandra-Kurla complex.
Baroda shot out their rivals for a paltry 96 and then chased the target in 14 overs to score a comprehensive win.
Kerala overcame a depleted Delhi by 14 runs in the other Group B game at the Wankhede Stadium by notching up a challenging 150 for 6, with opener V Jagadeesh top scoring with 52 in 36 balls.
They then restricted Delhi to 136 for 9 with some efficient bowling and brilliant fielding.
In the Baroda-Bengal game, the latter plunged into trouble soon after being asked to bat first by their rivals as they were reduced to 50 for five and never recovered from this poor start. Captain S Sanyal top scored with 13.
For Baroda, medium pacers Lukman Meriwala and Abhijit Karambelkar captured three wickets each on a seaming track.
Chasing the modest target, Baroda were given a decent start by Kedar Devdar (11) and Aditya Waghmode (27).
Although in the middle they lost two wickets in close succession, Baroda sailed home thanks to an unbroken fourth wicket stand of 43 between R Solanki (16 n.o.) and Deeepak Hooda (24 n.o.).
In the Kerala-Delhi match, Kerala were off to a fabulous start with openers Jagadeesh and J Rakesh (36) putting on 89 runs before a brief wobble saw them lose three wickets for three runs.
Captain Sachin Baby (28) rallied the innings around with the lower order to reach a score of 150/6 in their 20 overs.
However, Delhi – without several top players – failed to get off to a sound start and slumped to 35 for three. They could never really recover from the early setback and lost the encounter.
It was Delhi's first loss after having won all five north zone league games to qualify for the inter zonals.
For Kerala, Rakesh took three wickets to add to his batting effort, while Vinod Kumar and Prashanth Padmanabhan got two each.
Brief scores: Bengal: 96 all out in 20 overs (L Meriwala 3-19, A Karambelkar 3-22, H Pandya 2-10) lt to Baroda: 97/3 in 14 overs (A Waghmode 27, D Hooda 24 n.o.; A Gani 2-28).
Kerala: 150/6 (V Jagadeesh 52, K Rakesh 36, S Baby 28; J Khan 2-22, V Sood 2-29, Y Nagar 2-29) bt Delhi: 136/9 (V Kumar 2-17, P Prashanth 2-23, K Rakesh 3-34).

Guilherme IV da Aquitânia (937 — 3 de fevereiro de 994), dito "o Braço de Ferro" foi duque da Aquitânia e conde de Poitiers.

Em 963, após a morte de seu pai sucedeu-lhe nos títulos de Duque da Aquitânia e Conde de Poitiers. O seu reinado foi marcado por guerras desde logo os primeiros anos do seu reinado na luta com o Conde de Anjou e Godofredo I de Anjou.

Em 988, Guilherme IV começou uma guerra contra o recém-eleito rei da França Hugo Capeto, uma vez não o considerava com direito ao poder sobre os seus territórios. Capeto tinha obtido o título de Duque da Aquitânia do rei Lotário I de França (941 — 986), facto que o levou a reivindicar o referido título que Guilherme IV tinha por seu. Em 988, Capeto invadiu a Aquitânia, mas o seu exército foi derrotado durante a passagem pelo vale do Rio Loire pelas tropas de Guilherme IV.

Relações familiares
Foi filho de Guilherme III da Aquitânia  e de (915 - 3 de Abril de 963) e de Adélia da Normandia (915 - ?) filha de Rolão e de Popa de Bayeux.
Em 968 casou com Emma de Blois, filha de Teobaldo I de Blois, Conde de Blois e Luitgarda de Vermandois, filha de Herberto II de Vermandois, conde de Vermandois.

O casamento foi tempestuoso, porque Guilherme era um grande mulherengo e acima de tudo, gostava de namorar. Este facto levou a que a esposa Emma muitas vezes tivesse de expulsar da corte de amantes do marido. Apesar das vicissitudes tiveram:

Guilherme V da Aquitânia, "o Grande" (969 - 31 de janeiro de 1030), Duque da Aquitânia.
Ebalus (? - 997)
Hildegarda ou Ermengarda (? -1046), casada com Fulco III de Anjou "o Nerra" literalmente "o Negro", Conde de Anjou (972 - 1040).

DLNA launches new guidelines for streaming premium content
The move aims to set a common standard for delivering premium content wirelessly to connected TVs, set-top boxes and more
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) has announced new 'interopability guidelines' to aid the delivery of high-quality, premium video content to supported devices.
DLNA support allows devices such as TVs, Blu-ray players and games consoles, such as the PlayStation 3, to stream content from DLNA-enabled devices such as PCs and NAS drives, over your network.
This latest certification aims to set a common method by which premium content can be delivered using DLNA devices.
Nidhish Parikh, chairman and president of DLNA, said: "The release of these Interoperability Guidelines is the first step in what is a key global strategic objective for DLNA over the next year."
DLNA boasts more than 200 companies as members including LG, Panasonic, Samsung, Sharp and Sony, and US content providers such as Time Warner Cable.
We're off to a briefing with DLNA later today to find out what these developments mean for consumers, and what DLNA has in store for 2011.

Cavern News
Your Are Here: Home Cavern News Jimmy Coburn launches his new solo album at the Cavern
Jimmy Coburn launches his new solo album at the Cavern
He's best known to Cavern dwellers as one quarter of the Cavern Club Beatles – one Lennon-shaped quarter to be precise.
But Jimmy Coburn is stepping out from occupying the shoes of the late music legend this weekend to launch his own album of original tracks.
He's not going too far however, with the official unveiling of Waterloo Key taking place in the Cavern Live Lounge on Sunday, November 11.
Read more about the launch event HERE.
The album's punning title is taken from a track of the same name which Jimmy penned during a flurry of songwriting last year – inspired by a move to the Liverpool waterfront which, it appears, really opened the creative floodgates.
Jimmy, who was part of The Blue Meanies before forming the Cavern Club Beatles with brother Tony six years ago, explains: "I felt like I wrote it in two months, it just came so fast.
"I've had a bit of a back away from writing my own songs, with the Cavern Club Beatles and other things going on in my life. But then I moved to Waterloo Quay and I just got all this inspiration for writing the songs and thought – I've got an album!"
The Mersey view certainly seems to have fired his imagination, with Jimmy coming up with lyrics and tunes as he stared out at the water, watched over by the nearby Liver Birds on the Royal Liver Building, or while walking home at night after playing in Mathew Street.
"I've even dreamt about a song and written it in the morning," he laughs. "I woke up with a tune in mind and thought…quick, write it down!"
Among his favourites on the album are Outside My Window, which was the first song he penned after moving to the waterfront and is also the first song on the album.
"It's about getting up and doing something new," he says. "And it made me want to go and write more.
"I also love Second to No One. I was reading an article which said you can open your mind and be whatever you want to be. Leave your ego behind and follow your intuition."
Jimmy recorded Waterloo Key in Leicester with musician Rick Willson, whom he's known for a decade, building the tracks together, and with Jimmy playing both guitar and piano along with his lead vocals.
This weekend's launch in the Live Lounge will see Jimmy accompanied by a five-piece line-up. The evening's entertainment also includes a set by the Cavern's Scott Beckett, and an appearance by jazz blues band Amanda and the Common Ears.
CDs and vinyl of Waterloo Key will be available to buy.
And it seems the Mersey is still working its magic on the musician.
"I've got about five songs written already for the next album," he reveals. "It's inspirational, I don't know what it is. Maybe it's the Liver Birds looking out for me!"


He's known as a driver who makes the most of every opportunity – in the thick of the midfield battle, give Sergio Perez a sniff of a podium and the Mexican will normally take it.
This week on Beyond The Grid, supported by Bose, 'Checo' tells host Tom Clarkson about where that desire and racing ability came from, taking us on a journey from his childhood in Guadalajara to his formative years in Europe, when he journeyed across the world on his own at 15 with little more than a dream to reach F1.

The purpose of H.R. 1261 is to establish a national program
to identify and reduce losses from landslide hazards, authorize
the existing national 3D Elevation Program, and authorize
studying, mitigating, and restoring instances of ground
subsidence.
BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR LEGISLATION
Landslides are serious hazards that exist throughout the
United States. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimates that
landslides account for $1 billion to $2 billion in damages and,
on average, more than 25 fatalities every year.\1\ As expansion
of urban and recreational development occurs, individuals are
more exposed to potential impacts from landslide hazards.
Landslides are often triggered by events such as heavy storms,
earthquakes, volcanic activities, and wildfires. The Landslides
Hazards Program (LHP) in the USGS has existed since the 1970s
to provide scientific information to minimize loss of life and
property from landslides.\2\ The LHP partners with states and
federal agencies to conduct landslide hazard assessments,
investigations, and forecasts, and it provides assistance in
response to landslide events. Local decisionmakers depend on
the LHP for information before, during, and after landslide-
triggering disasters. Since fiscal year 2014, the LHP has been
funded at approximately $3.5 million annually.\3\

H.R. 1261 directs the Secretary of the Interior to bolster
the LHP's activities by creating a National Landslide Hazards
Reduction Program to identify and understand risks and reduce
losses from landslide hazards and to help improve communication
and emergency preparedness. The bill also authorizes the
existing national 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) to update and
produce standard, publicly accessible 3D elevation data for the
United States, in coordination with other federal agencies and
nonfederal entities. This 3DEP authorization would have value
not only for assessing landslide hazards but also for
identifying geologic and environmental hazards such as active
faults and seismic areas, unstable ground, swelling soils,
floodplains, and abandoned mine lands.
The bill establishes two committees to oversee and
coordinate the activities of the National Landslide Hazards
Reduction Program and the 3DEP Program: the Interagency
Coordinating Committee on Landslide Hazards, and the 3D
Elevation Federal Interagency Coordinating Committee,
COMMITTEE ACTION
H.R. 1261 was introduced on February 14, 2019, by
Representative Suzan DelBene (D-WA). The bill was referred to
the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology and the
Committee on Natural Resources, and within the latter Committee
to the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources. On May 1,
2019, the Natural Resources Committee met to consider the bill.
The Subcommittee was discharged by unanimous consent. Chair
Grijalva (D-AZ) offered an amendment designated Grijalva #1; it
was adopted by unanimous consent. Representative Aumua Amata
Coleman Radewagen (R-AS) offered an amendment designated
Radewagen #1; it was adopted by unanimous consent.
Representative Garret Graves (R-LA) offered an amendment
designated Graves #1; it was adopted by unanimous consent. No
additional amendments were offered. The bill, as amended, was
ordered favorably reported to the House of Representatives by
unanimous consent.
For the purposes of section 103(i) of H. Res. 6 of the
116th Congress--the following hearings were used to develop or
consider H.R. 1261: Full Committee Markup on Wednesday, May 1,
2019, at 10:00 a.m. in Longworth House Office Building, Room
1324; and Hearing by the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral
Resources on November 30, 2017, regarding H.R. 1675 (115th).
COMMITTEE OVERSIGHT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Regarding clause 2(b)(1) of rule X and clause 3(c)(1) of
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the
Committee on Natural Resources' oversight findings and
recommendations are reflected in the body of this report.
COMPLIANCE WITH HOUSE RULE XIII AND CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ACT
1. Cost of Legislation and the Congressional Budget Act.
With respect to the requirements of clause 3(c)(2) and (3) of
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives and
sections 308(a) and 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of
1974, the Committee has received the following estimate for the
bill from the Director of the Congressional Budget Office:
U.S. Congress,
Congressional Budget Office,
Washington, DC, May 9, 2019.
Hon. Raul M. Grijalva,
Chairman, Committee Natural Resources,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 1261, the National
Landslide Preparedness Act.
If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Robert Reese.
Keith Hall,
Enclosure.
Bill summary: H.R. 1261 would direct the United States
Geological Survey (USGS) to implement two programs focused on
mapping the territory of the United States. Under the bill, the
National Landslide Hazards Reduction Program (NLHRP) would
develop a national strategy to reduce landslide risks, create
and maintain a publicly accessible database on landslide
hazards, expand the current early warning system for flash
floods and debris flow following wildfires, and lead an
interagency coordinating committee on landslide hazards. The
bill also would authorize two grant programs under the NLHRP.
Under the 3D Elevation Program, the USGS would be required
to develop elevation data for the United States and to produce
publicly accessible data products. In implementing the program,
the USGS would be authorized to make grants and enter into
cooperative agreements. The bill would direct the USGS to head
an interagency coordinating committee for the program.
Estimated Federal cost: The estimated budgetary effect of
H.R. 1261 is shown in Table 1. The costs of the legislation
fall within budget function 300 (natural resources and
environment).

Basis of estimate: For this estimate, CBO assumes that H.R.
1261 will be enacted during fiscal year 2019 and that the
authorized amounts will be appropriated for each fiscal year
beginning in 2020. Estimated outlays follow historical patterns
for similar programs.
H.R. 1261 would authorize the appropriation of $77 million
a year for a total of $308 million over the 2020-2023 period.
Assuming appropriation of those amounts, CBO estimates that the
bill would cost $300 million over the 2020-2024 period and $8
million after 2024.
National Landslide Hazards Reduction Program
annually from 2020 to 2023 for the USGS to implement the NLHRP.
CBO estimates that implementing the program as authorized would
cost $146 million over the 2020-2024 period. Currently the USGS
operates a similar program that meets some of the requirements
of H.R. 1261. In 2019, the USGS allocated about $4 million to
that program.
3D Elevation Program
The bill would authorize the appropriation of $40 million
annually from 2020 to 2023 for the USGS to implement the 3D
Elevation Program. CBO estimates that implementing the program
would cost $154 million over the 2020-2024 period. Currently
the USGS operates a similar program that meets some of the
requirements outlined under H.R. 1261. In 2019, the USGS
allocated about $38 million to that program.
Pay-As-You-Go considerations: None.
Increase in long-term deficits: None.
Mandates: None.
Previous CBO estimate: On May 2, 2019, CBO transmitted a
cost estimate for S. 529, the National Landslide Preparedness
Act, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Commerce,
Science, and Transportation on April 3, 2019. CBO's estimated
costs of implementing the NLHRP are the same for both bills.
CBO's estimated costs for implementing the 3D Elevation Program
differ because the authorizations of appropriations in the two
bills are different.
Estimate prepared by: Federal Costs: Robert Reese;
Mandates: Jon Sperl.
Estimate reviewed by: Kim P. Cawley, Chief, Natural and
Physical Resources Cost Estimates Unit; H. Samuel Papenfuss,
Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
2. General Performance Goals and Objectives. As required by
clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII, the general performance goals and
objectives of this bill is to establish a national program to
identify and reduce losses from landslide hazards, authorize
EARMARK STATEMENT
This bill does not contain any Congressional earmarks,
limited tax benefits, or limited tariff benefits as defined
under clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of rule XXI of the Rules of
the House of Representatives.
UNFUNDED MANDATES REFORM ACT STATEMENT
This bill contains no unfunded mandates.
FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACT STATEMENT
The functions of the proposed advisory committees
authorized in this bill are not currently being nor could they
be performed by one of more agencies, an advisory group already
in existence, or by enlarging the mandate of an existing
advisory group.
EXISTING PROGRAMS
Duplication of Existing Programs. This bill does not
establish or reauthorize a program of the federal government
known to be duplicative of another program. Such program was
not included in any report from the Government Accountability
Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139
or identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance published pursuant to 31 U.S.C. Sec. 6104, as
relating to other programs.
APPLICABILITY TO LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

Review: Stone Temple Pilots put on revolutionary rock show at Jones Beach Special
By Markos Papadatos Jul 27, 2018 in Music
Wantagh - On July 27, Stone Temple Pilots performed at the Northwell Health at Jones Beach Theater on Long Island, as part of their co-headlining "Revolution 3."
Stone Temple Pilots shared the stage with such musical acts as The Cult and Bush.
They kicked off their set at 7 p.m. with "Wicked Garden," which featured killer guitar riffs. and it was met with a raucous response from the New York audience. They immediately broke into "Vasoline" and "Big Bang Baby," both of which were chart-topping singles on the Billboard Mainstream Rock charts.
In "Big Empty" and "Plush," Gutt was able to display his dynamic vocal range, thus leaving the audience in total awe. The inclusion of such newer songs as "Meadow" and "Roll Me Under" from their seventh studio offering, Stone Temple Pilots, was an added treat for the fans and it was a substantial indication that these songs have the potential to become future classics for the group.
Stone Temple Pilots were able to take their fans on a trip down memory lane to the early '90s with such popular hits as "Dead & Bloated," "Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart" and "Sex Type Thing," as they rounded out their hour-long set.
Overall, Stone Temple Pilots put on a high-octane, rocking set at Jones Beach, and they were able to rock hard. It is evident that Jeff Gutt was born to sing this kind of music. His passion and love for his craft were infectious tonight. Robert DeLeo was tremendous on bass as always, and Dean DeLeo displayed his intricate guitar work. Last but certainly not least, Eric Kretz delivered on the drums. Their live set at this historic amphitheater garnered an A rating.

Additional health risks can develop in women with both psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Arthritis is the leading cause of pain and disability in the UK. The disorder typically causes pain and inflammation in the joints, and can affect people of all ages. It is an extremely debilitating condition that can force people to give up work or favourite hobbies.
There are several kinds of arthritis, including the commonly known osteoarthritis. This type is related to wear and tear of the joints due to older age, or damage from sports and other activities. But other kinds of arthritis – known as inflammatory arthritis – can affect the organs and skin, too.
In our newly published research, we wanted to find out the associated cardiovascular risks that come with types of inflammatory arthritis – particularly rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis. Researchers have already found that people with rheumatoid arthritis (which occurs when the body's immune system targets affected joints, leading to swelling and pain) have higher rates of cardiovascular disease. And those with rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis also have an increased risk of developing other conditions, such as skin and heart disorders.
However, it is not entirely clear whether those with psoriatic arthritis – a joint condition that affects around 30% of people with the skin condition psoriasis – are subject to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, too.
We cannot simply say arthritis causes heart problems, as there are numerous factors at play. There are several things that can affect everyone's heart health whether they have inflammatory arthritis or not. Obesity and smoking are just two examples. However, as the disease process of rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis involves inflammation, this can cause an additional risk of developing heart problems. Add to this that treatments used to control arthritis symptoms can also affect cardiovascular health and the situation becomes even more complex to understand.
So, to understand the true cardiovascular risk in individuals with inflammatory arthritis, we decided to look at the health records of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis.
Using information from an anonymised databank, we looked at GP, hospital and death records of arthritis and psoriasis patients. 8,650 had been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, 2,128 with psoriatic arthritis, and 24,630 with psoriasis. We then compared these to 1,187,706 individuals without these conditions, looking at rates of heart attack, stroke and deaths related to these.
When the data was analysed, we found that cardiovascular risk factors were higher for those who had rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis, compared to people who did not have these conditions.
When we controlled for known cardiovascular risk factors (such as obesity and high blood pressure) there was still a higher risk of heart attack and stroke in women with rheumatoid arthritis, and in men and women with psoriasis. This increased risk of heart attack and stroke can be explained by the inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis causing inflammation in the heart. However, we are not yet sure why this occurs only in women. In addition, we know the level of inflammation in psoriasis is low so this does not explain the higher risk of heart attack and stroke in this group.

Kritiken
Das Album wurde kontrovers diskutiert. Einige haben die Auswahl der beteiligten Künstler bemängelt, die zumeist keine erkennbare Beziehung zum deutschen Hip-Hop hätten. Wenn schon der Bezug zum Hip-Hop fehlt, hätten sich die Künstler an ein Rap-Cover wagen können, fordern diese. Andere werten diese Compilation als einen interessanten Querschnitt durch die deutschen Musikgenres. Selbst wenn das Album eingefleischte Fans der Fantastischen Vier zusammenzucken lässt, sind durch die verschiedenen Genres keine Plagiate entstanden, sondern gänzlich neue Kreationen.

"I have attended a couple of Matt's sweat lodges in Woodstock. I didn't know what to expect as I had never done one before. Matt puts in a lot of work to create the experience and authenticity of an indigenous sweat lodge ceremony. Through each step of the ceremony, Matt clearly explains what the meaning is and allows you to participate at your comfort level. After the ceremony, I felt very peaceful and my body felt amazingly purified. I would highly recommend trying one!"
I am trying to help people, whether with healing, guidance or visions. I create a safe container for them to receive what they need from the Great Creator, their ancestors, and their spirit guides. I utilize all aspects available to me in this modern world. I am thankful I have so much information at my access, so many tools from so many cultures, so many beautiful elders who have willingly shared with me. It has been an honor. The work that I perform represents the culmination of decades of spiritual, geographical and socio-cultural journeying.
The sweat lodge is not something to be taken lightly. I am very serious about mine. I adhere to all the standards I have been taught over many years from my Lakota and Mayan elders. I was called to indigenous teachings over 20 years ago after I sat in my first lodge. The healing was more than transformative and unbelievably life-changing. I was an addict then and in desperate need of help. While in recovery, I decided I wanted to learn more. In an attempt to learn servitude, I volunteered at the American Indian Center in Chicago. I helped to do their landscaping, worked in the food pantry, made fry bread at events and gathered all the gifts for Toy for Tots from the surrounding suburbs. Despite being told that it would have a hard road to travel, I maintained my interest in the sweat lodge and other healing modalities and, several years later, I started working with a Lakota/Cherokee elder. I became a fire tender and spent years working and learning from him. One year, we did a lodge every single week, right through the winter. In the end, he gifted me ALL the songs. He told me, "The Lakota kids aren't learning this." He continued, "We need someone to carry on the traditions or it will all be lost." He gave me the name Path Keeper and told me that my job was to help heal people and to keep the red path alive. I honor that.
In addition to transmitting the knowledge that Lakota and Maya elders authorized me to teach, I incorporate elements of Buddhism, yoga and the Christian spirituality that I learned while walking the Camino de Santiago with a Shaman. Other learning processes that helped form who I am include studying sacred plant medicines with the Shipibo in Peru and worked in a healing center in the Amazon Jungle.
Simply put...I have been trained and sanctioned by both Lakota and Mayan elders. They requested that I used the training to help others. I am here. Please contact me or sign up to be added to my mailing list.


I sensed them before I saw them. A carbonated excitement that pushed aside the steady hum of the front lobby. It was a gaggle of girls, clinic perhaps 10 or 11 years old. They had tote bags on their shoulders and duffle bags dropped to their feet. Their small group, roughly a half dozen, tittered blissfully, gazing up to the ornate ceiling, pointing to the chandeliers, looking around at the austere paintings on the wall. Nearby, two mothers are digging in their handbags and collating paper printouts, waiting to check in. A third woman stood with the girls. Her smile seemed to relish the girls' delight while her eyes were attentive to the other lobby guests. Great instincts; she was not a rookie chaperone.
I offered to share cupcakes with the girls in the café while the mothers got checked in. More great mother-chaperone instincts: she was listening for red flags and scanning my soul as I introduced myself. I expected nothing less. I asked her to join us and we all tumbled into the café.
They were a Girl Scout troop from a suburb of Chicago. In addition to a camping trip, an excursion to a fancy hotel in another city had been their goal for this year's cookie money and fundraising.
"This is SO cool," said one, as we sat at a long table. They nodded to each other in agreement. They were a calico assembly of curls, ponytails, dimples, glasses, friendship bracelets and giggles.
I learned most of them were fifth graders as well as veteran Girl Scouts. I asked what they liked most about being Girl Scouts. They told me they enjoyed learning new things, going new places, and sharing a connection that was special from their "regular" classmates and friends.
When I asked what they each wanted to be when they grew up, I was prepared for Doctor, Lawyer, Veterinarian, Police Officer, the short list of ambitions that we grown ups typically dispense to children. My heart leapt with joy to hear, instead, Trapeze Artist, Interior Designer, Teacher, Viola Player, Pilot.
Of course, I'll have no way of knowing if the girls will land on these goals 10-20 years from now. Still, I was excited to hear that they were already dreaming outside the box. Don't get me wrong, there are phenomenal careers inside the box, but you have to admire the vast number of pre-schoolers who, according to a recent Forbes poll, intend to become superheroes and princesses. They'll realize how competitive those gigs are, eventually. In fact, a survey on Salary.com reports that 70% of us changed our "dream job" once we became adults. (Although 60% of us still wish for those childhood ideals.) Realized or not, the point is to dream.
My merry band of cupcakes began to fall away into spirited side conversations. All three mothers were with us now, the adult business of check-ins and room keys handled. Annie, my cupcake girls' self-appointed spokesperson, explained that they were hoping to have two adjoining rooms separate from the mother-chaperones.
"I doubt that's going to happen," she said with a comical twist at the mouth.

Arsene Wenger is confident that Arsenal's FA Cup success can spur the Gunners onto more silverware next season.
Wenger's side ended their nine-year wait for a major trophy back in May thanks to their dramatic FA Cup final win over Hull City at Wembley.
We are ready for a fight and we are better than last season
The north London club finished fourth in the Premier League on 79 points – and the Frenchman feels that his side now have a platform to build on next term.
"We have the ambition, we have the desire, we should have the confidence from last season – so we have a good basis. It's now up to us to make sure we have the right attitude and the right hunger to go for more," Wenger told Arsenal's website.
"In the Premier League [last season] we were not far away, we got 79 points and with what happened to us with injuries, I feel that we did quite well.
"On top of that we won the FA Cup so I think it's a good platform to go for more. But in the Premier League everybody tries to improve the team and it's very difficult to predict what will happen this year.
"What we can be sure about and what we can make certain of is that we are ready for a fight and we are better than last season – that's our target."
