This is one of the questions we get asked most often when people are getting serious about dental implants – What to expect during teeth replacement surgery with dental implants?
Before jumping into that answer, there are a few other questions we need to tackle first.
Single tooth – or full mouth – dental implants are some of the most popular treatments in dentistry, and for good reason. Compared to "old-school" solutions like removable dentures, implants require less maintenance, look better and can last a lifetime with proper care. But, what are permanent implants for teeth? What's involved in the process? And, how do you know if they are right for you?
Dental implants, also known as endosseous implants or "fixtures", are used to support all manner of dental prosthesis such as dental veneers, bridges, and crowns. Modern fixtures are made of materials such as titanium which – over time – fuse with the bones of the patient; thereby becoming (in both form and functionality) a natural part of your body.
Now we can get to your question. Implants are surgically embedded into your jaw bone in order to achieve the best fit and hold. This ensures that they will not wiggle in your mouth like removable dentures, or come loose like dental crowns. The surgery involved in the procedure is described as extremely gentle (no nerves in the jaw bone) and quick (completed within one dentist visit). The non-intrusive and speedy nature of teeth replacement surgery boosts the success rate of the treatment – which is very high when compared to other procedures.
Thanks to a secure anchor point keeping them in place in your mouth – and the superior materials used in modern tooth crafting – implants look and feel like your natural teeth and you can treat them like it! Clean them as you would your original teeth, keep your regular dentist appointments, and there is no reason why your fixtures can't last over 15 years. If the time does come where your teeth are beginning to become discolored, you simply get the visible portions replaced. No follow up surgery required.
Single implants can be installed to replace an individual tooth, or several can be rooted to support full mouth dentures. It is the versatility of the treatment that makes it a favorite for doctors as well as patients. Fixing many of the visible effects of periodontitis and other oral diseases, dental fixtures can provide incredible results within one day.
Due to the simplicity of the process, the average cost of dental implants is relatively low ($3,000 – $6,000 depending on your location and the amount of work needed).
After receiving your implants, maintenance is fairly simple. Other than regular cleanings and check-ups, your doctor will prescribe antibiotics (just in case) and schedule a few additional appointments to check on the fixtures. Patients have reported some slight jaw pain while healing from the procedure, however that is not common and it usually fades quickly.
The most effective way to maintain your new smile is through healthy lifestyle habits. Good nutrition is a key component to your recovery and continued health. When your body is fueled with good, clean nutrition you will experience less discomfort during the procedure and heal quicker after its done.
Are permanent dental implants right for you?
Are you tired of poorly-fitted denture wiggling in your mouth?
Do you want to spend less time worrying about your smile and more time living life?

Well-maintained trees can do a world of good for just about any landscape. Determining the health of trees can be difficult for property owners who don't have any dedicated experience in the field, but there are certain steps that almost always must be taken to maintain their health and appearance. Regular Tree Trimming in Annapolis MD is one of those steps.
Trees that are suffering from diseases or insect infestations can often benefit substantially from routine trimming or pruning. Removing the affected areas can prevent the pests or disease from spreading throughout the tree and stop it from impacting other nearby specimens. Removing any branches that are dead, diseased, or in poor health can also help the tree recover by allowing it redirect more of its energy toward growing new, healthy branches.
By scheduling annual tree trimming in Annapolis MD, property owners can exert more control over the tree's overall growth. It can impact what its crown looks like and prevent overcrowding, which can wind up killing off otherwise healthy branches. The best way to go about this process is not to wait until the tree has already begun to grow in directions that property owners don't want, but instead to hire a tree service to provide annual trimming, removing small amounts of growth each year.
When an arborist trims a tree, he or she will have the opportunity to evaluate its overall health. It's not uncommon for them to identify diseases that could be affecting the specimen much earlier thanks to the opportunity to evaluate it. This ensures early diagnosis so that the tree specialist can take steps toward preventing the spread of the disease.
If a tree is located near power lines, homes, or outbuildings, it may be necessary to trim them each year so that the trees themselves and the structures around them remain safe. Failing to take this important step can lead to significant property damage and create a potential hazard to human health in the event that a serious storm comes through.

The 2008–present Spanish financial crisis, also known as the Great Recession in Spain or the Great Spanish Depression began in 2008 during the world financial crisis of 2007–08. In 2012 it made Spain a late participant in the European sovereign debt crisis when the country was unable to bailout its financial sector and had to apply for a €100 billion rescue package provided by the European Stability Mechanism (ESM).
The main cause of Spain's crisis was the housing bubble and the accompanying unsustainably high GDP growth rate. The ballooning tax revenues from the booming property investment and construction sectors kept the Spanish government's revenue in surplus, despite strong increases in expenditure, until 2007. The Spanish government supported the critical development by relaxing supervision of the financial sector and thereby allowing the banks to violate International Accounting Standards Board standards.. The banks in Spain were able to hide losses and earnings volatility, mislead regulators, analysts, and investors, and thereby finance the Spanish real estate bubble. The results of the crisis were devastating for Spain, including a strong economic downturn, a severe increase in unemployment, and bankruptcies of major companies.
Even though some fundamental problems in the Spanish economy were already evident far ahead of the crisis, Spain continued the path of unsustainable property led growth when the ruling party changed in 2004. In these early times Spain had already a huge trade deficit, a loss of competitiveness against its main trading partners, an above-average inflation rate, house price increases, and a growing family indebtedness. During the third quarter of 2008 the national GDP contracted for the first time in 15 years, and, in February 2009, Spain (and other European economies) officially entered recession. The economy contracted 3.7% in 2009 and again in 2010 by 0.1%. It grew by 0.7% in 2011. By the 1st quarter of 2012, Spain was officially in recession once again. The Spanish government forecast a 1.7% drop for 2012.
The provision of up to €100 billion of rescue loans from eurozone funds was agreed by eurozone finance ministers on 9 June 2012. As of October 2012, the so-called Troika (European Commission, ECB and IMF) is in negotiations with Spain to establish an economic recovery program required for providing additional financial loans from ESM. In addition to applying for a €100 billion bank recapitalization package in June 2012, Spain negotiated financial support from a "Precautionary Conditioned Credit Line" (PCCL) package. If Spain applies and receives a PCCL package, irrespectively to what extent it subsequently decides to draw on this established credit line, this would at the same time immediately qualify the country to receive "free" additional financial support from ECB, in the form of some unlimited yield-lowering bond purchases.
The turning point for the Spanish sovereign debt crisis occurred on 26 July 2012, when ECB President Mario Draghi said that the ECB was "ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro". Announced on 6 September 2012, the ECB's Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) program of unlimited purchases of short-term sovereign debt put the ECB's balance sheet behind the pledge. Speculative runs against Spanish sovereign debt were discouraged and 10-year bond yields stayed below the 6% level, approaching the 5% level by the end of 2012.
The residential real estate bubble saw real estate prices rise 200% from 1996 to 2007.
€651 billion rubles is the current mortgage debt (second quarter 2005) of Spanish families (this debt continues to grow at 25% per year – 2001 through 2005, with 97% of mortgages at variable rate interest). In 2004, 509,293 new properties were built in Spain and in 2005 the number of new properties built was 528,754. In a country with 16.5 million families, there are 22–24 million houses and 3–4 million empty houses. From all the houses built over the 2001–2007 period, "no less than 28%" are vacant as of late 2008.
House ownership in Spain is above 80%. The desire to own one's own home was encouraged by governments in the 60s and 70s, and has thus become part of the Spanish psyche. In addition, tax regulation encourages ownership: 15% of mortgage payments are deductible from personal income taxes. Even more, the oldest apartments are controlled by non-inflation-adjusted rent-controls and eviction is slow, therefore discouraging renting.
As feared, when the speculative bubble popped Spain became one of the worst affected countries. According to Eurostat, between June 2007 and June 2008, Spain has been the European country with the sharpest plunge in construction, with actual sales down an average 25.3%. So far, some regions have been more affected than others (Catalonia was ahead in this regard with a 42.2% sales plunge while sparsely populated regions like Extremadura were down a mere 1.7% over the same period).
Banks offered 40-year mortgages and, more recently, 50-year mortgages. While some observers suggest that a soft landing will occur, others suggest that a crash in prices is probable. Lower home prices will allow low-income families and young people to enter the market; however, there is a strong perception that house prices never go down. As of August 2008, while new constructions have come virtually to a halt, prices have not had significant movements, neither up nor downwards. The national average price as of late 2008 is 2,095 euros/m2.
Housing prices were projected to fall another 25%. Government protections allow banks to avoid marking-to-market to postpone losses. "Spanish housing prices are now falling at the fastest pace on record" dropping 15.2% over the last year. Mortgage holders must continue to pay the debt even after a foreclosure. Banks have begun to accept "deed-in-lieu deals" in which the debt is cancelled if the property is surrendered, allowing the bank to quickly sell and recoup a greater percentage of the loan or turn the property into a rental.
Some developments resemble ghost towns. For instance, the town of Valdeluz was constructed for 30,000 people, but had a population of only 700 people in 2011. Ghost airports such as €1.1 billion Ciudad Real Central Airport, Castellón-Costa Azahar Airport and others were built.
Due to the lack of its own resources, Spain has to import all of its fossil fuels, which in a scenario of record prices added much pressure to the inflation rate. Thus, in June 2008 the inflation rate reached a 13-year high of 5.00%. Then, with the dramatic decrease of oil prices that happened in the second half of 2008 plus the confirmed burst of the property bubble, concerns quickly shifted to the risk of deflation instead, as Spain registered in January 2009 its lowest inflation rate in 40 years which was then followed in March 2009 by a negative inflation rate for the first time ever since this statistic was recorded.
As of October 2010, the Spanish economy has continued to contract, resulting in decreasing GDP and increasing inflation. From 2011 to 2012 alone, prices rose 3.5% as compared to 2% in the United States. The rise in prices, combined with the recently implemented austerity measures and extremely high unemployment, are heavily impacting the livelihood of Spanish citizens. As the average wage decreases, the buying power of the money decreases as well. The frustration of this decreases in buying power has manifested in several, very large, worker demonstrations.
The Spanish banking system had been credited as one of the most solid and best equipped among all Western economies to cope with the worldwide liquidity crisis, thanks to the country's conservative banking rules and practices. Banks are required to have high capital provisions and demand various proofs and securities from intending borrowers. Nevertheless, this practice was greatly relaxed during the housing bubble, a trend to which the regulator (Banco de España) turned a blind eye.
Spain's unusual accounting standards, intended to smooth earnings over the business cycle, have misled regulators and analysts by hiding losses and earnings volatility. The accounting technique of "dynamic provisioning", which violated the standards set by the International Accounting Standards Board, obscured capital cushions until they were depleted, allowing the appearance of health as problems mounted.
It was later revealed that nearly all the Spanish representatives in Congress had large investments in the housing sector, some owning up to twenty houses. Over time, more and more news has emerged about the informal alliance between Spanish central and regional governments, the banking sector (bear in mind for example the recent government pardon of the second in command at the Santander Bank, while all the major parties are strongly indebted with banks, and such debts are extended from time to time) which increased the bubble size over the years. Most regional semipublic savings banks (cajas) lent heavily to real estate companies that at the end of the bubble went bankrupt, then the cajas found themselves left with the collateral and properties of those companies, namely overpriced real state and residential-zoned land, now worthless, rendering the cajas in essence bankrupt.
In stark contrast to countries like Ireland, no nationalization took place. Instead the problem was rolled-over with the extension of the remaining real estate companies debts, while the central government bailed once and again banks and cajas alike. For more than three years, there has been a steady process of bank concentration. Spain had the densest bank-office net in Europe, which led many bank employees to be dismissed. By contrast, the bank Board of Members have mostly kept their jobs, even those in merged entities. Golden parachutes have been prevalent: it has been speculated that this was because of fear that laid-off senior members would talk about the sector's rampant malpractice. To this date no bankers have been legally charged for having roles in this process.
In May 2012 credit ratings of several Spanish banks were downgraded, some to "junk" status. The Bankia bank, the country's largest mortgage lender, was nationalised on 9 May, and on 25 May it announced that it would require a bailout of €23.5 billion to cover losses from failed mortgages.
In addition to Spanish banks, other European banks have a sizable presence in Spain. German banks lead with an exposure of $146 billion. Germany's Landesbanks "rushed in" during the early 2000s. Barclays, Deutsche Bank, and ING have large Spanish units.
On 9 June 2012 Eurozone finance ministers agreed that Spanish banks would be provided with up to €100 billion of rescue loans. This money is to be distributed via the Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring, and that the exact amount to be loaned would be determined after audits of the banks. EC President Jose Manuel Barroso and vice-president Olli Rehn welcomed the move, praising the combination of a "thorough restructuring of the banking sector", structural reforms, and fiscal consolidation; U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner also welcomed the move.
Recent bank stress tests will enable the Spanish government to make a formal request for the €100 billion credit line. Further analysis and tests will be undertaken prior to restructuring and recapitalization over the next year. Restrictions on the credit line exempting funds from covering "legacy assets" suggests limits to the planned banking bailouts.
In May 2012, Spanish banks lent €1.66 trillion to the private sector and took in €896 billion. Historically it would borrow the difference from foreign banks (i.e., interbank lending) but reduced access has led to a greater reliance on ECB loans. Spanish banks borrowed a record €376 billion (net) from the ECB in July 2012. Depositors are fleeing Spanish banks; deposits have dropped 4.7% from June to July (2012) as money is moved abroad.
On 28 November 2012, the European Commission approved the Spanish government's plan to shrink and restructure three major Spanish banks—Bankia, NCG Banco, and Catalunya Banc—and sell a fourth, Banco de Valencia. This is part of a €37 billion EC bailout or restructuring approved in June. It includes loss-taking by investors of up to €10 billion, the creation of a "bad bank" to absorb up to €45 billion of failed loans, closing thousands of bank branches, and reducing staff.
After having completed substantial improvements over the second half of the 1990s and during the 2000s, which put a few regions on the brink of full employment, Spain suffered a severe setback in October 2008, when it saw its unemployment rate surging to 1996 levels. Between October 2007 and October 2008, Spain had its unemployment rate climb 36%, exceeding by far the unemployment surge of past economic crises like 1993. In particular, in October 2008, Spain suffered its worst unemployment rise ever recorded and, the country has suffered Europe's biggest unemployment crisis during the 2008 crisis.
Spain's unemployment rate hit 17.4% at the end of March 2009, with the jobless total now having doubled over the past 12 months, when two million people lost their jobs. In this same month, Spain had over 4 million people unemployed, By July 2009, it had shed 1.2 million jobs in one year and was to have the same number of jobless as France and Italy combined. By March 2012, Spain's unemployment rate reached 24.4%, twice the eurozone average.
Spain has a two-tiered work force, in which privileged labor gets wage increases as unprivileged labor is thrown out of work. The privileged two-thirds have "armour-clad permanent contracts" that shield them from the ravages of recession while the non-privileged, generally temporary workers, are dismissed. Rigid labor laws prevent wage reductions, encouraging dismissals instead. Dismissals are costly and companies are hesitant to hire new workers prompting many to seek jobs abroad. During the last decade, Spain's unit labor cost rose 40% relative to German unit labor cost changes making Spanish labor uncompetitive at the current wage scale. Unions organized a general strike to protest proposals to weaken union power, enable cuts in wages, and lower firing costs.
By the end of 2012, Spain's unit labor costs improved. It narrowed the gap with Germany by 5.5% and 4.6% with respect to France. Spain's policy of internal devaluation cut public sector salaries by 5% with an additional 7.1% cut consisting of a suspension of the "14 month bonus". Private sector wages have changed little and Spain continues to discourage private investment.
Spain, as in other southern European nations, relies heavily on the inter-generational family structure for a significant portion of the social safety net. Employment expectations should be adjusted for this cultural ethos. The unemployment rate for the "principal breadwinner" is 12.4% less than the 25% overall rate (June 2012.) Employment is also found in the underground economy, which is estimated to be as large as 20% of the economy during the boom years.
Unemployment for those under 25 has been reported to be 50%. Spain's current generation is considered the most educated that the country has ever had, yet it faces the greatest rate of unemployment in Europe. Roughly 68% of young people are willing to leave the country to search for a job, and those with college degrees are willing to settle for working at so-called minijobs for a paycheck. The State Secretary for Unemployment states that higher education is a way for the current generation to battle this issue; however, government cuts are occurring that slash university staff salaries and increase the number of students per class. For those paying their own way through college, the tough economy has made it nearly impossible to find a job and study simultaneously. Hopes for the future are dwindling as Spain's unemployment rate is almost as high as it was for the United States during the Great Depression. People are beginning to fear the transformation of this generation into one referred to as a "Lost Generation" that is constantly looking for work and whose futures are closed off from "good careers". The stress of unemployment has also affected personal relationships, with many young adults separating from partners. Youth unemployment is about double overall unemployment.
The high unemployment rate, at 56% as of June 2013, is overstated. Subtracting students and young mothers not looking for jobs, the actual number is closer to 22%.
Large-scale immigration continued throughout 2008 despite severe unemployment, but by 2011 the OECD confirmed that the total number of people leaving the country (Spaniards and non-Spaniards) had over taken the number of arrivals. Spain is now a net emigrant country. There are now indications that established immigrants have begun to leave, although many that have are still retaining a household in Spain due to the poor conditions that exist in their country of origin.
As the financial crisis was getting started in Spain, it was already underway in the United States and other western countries. The decrease in disposable income of consumers led to a sharp decrease in Spain's tourist industry, a rarity in a country with so many coastal towns. Indeed, the EU as a group saw a decline in tourists coming to their countries in 2008 and 2009, with -13% tourism growth in coastal Spain. Despite its traditional popularity with Korean and Japanese tourists, the relatively expensive cost of holidaying in Spain led many to pursue "sun and beach" Mediterranean getaways in Turkey, Spain's tourism rival.
However, Spain has also seen the largest growth in tourism since 2011 and 2012. Its geographic advantages, the Arab Spring, and other non-economic factors are contributing to its resurgence as a tourist destination. While Spain's economy itself is not doing great, purchasing power parity is generally going back up. Furthermore, but violent unrest in North Africa and the Middle East is redirecting tourists towards stable countries like Spain.
Spain entered the crisis period with a relatively modest public debt of 36.2% of GDP. This was largely due to ballooning tax revenue from the housing bubble, which helped accommodate a decade of increased government spending without debt accumulation. In response to the crisis, Spain initiated an austerity program consisting primarily of tax increases. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy announced on 11 July 2012 €65 billion of austerity, including cuts in wages and benefits and a VAT increase from 18% to 21%. The government eventually succeeded to reduce its budget deficit from 11.2% of GDP in 2009 to 8.5% in 2011 and it is expected to fall further to 5.4% in 2012.
As of 15 June 2012, Spain's public debt stood at 72.1% of GDP, still less than the Euro-zone average of 88%. If Spain uses the €100 billion credit line to bailout its banks, its debt will approach 90% of GDP. To avoid this the EU has pledged to lend to banks directly although it now appears that the Spanish government may have to guarantee the loans.
In June 2012, the Spanish 10-year government bond reached 7%, 5.44% over the German 10-year bond. As Spanish credit default swaps (CDS) hits a record high of 633 basis points and the 10-year bond yield at 7.5% (23 July 2012) Spain's economic minister travels to Germany to request that the ECB facilitate government bond purchases to "avoid an imminent financial collapse". Promised borrowing by the ECB has enabled Spain's 10-year yield to stay below or close to the 6% level and settling below the 5% level in the spring of 2013.
For the third time in 13 months, Moody's Investors Service has cut Spain's rating. On 18 October 2011 Moody's Rating cut Spain's rating by 2 notches to A1 from Aa2 with the outlook remaining negative. Standard and Poor's has downgraded Spain on 14 October 2011 and Fitch Ratings cut it to the same level on 7 October 2011. On 14 June 2012, Moody's downgraded Spain to Baa3, just one notch above "junk". Standard and Poor's downgraded Spain to BBB- (one notch above junk) on 11 October 2012. DBRS downgraded Spain to single-A, which remains higher than the major credit rating agencies. This rating allows the ECB to use a lower margin for banks that borrow with Spanish debt as collateral. After a recent review, Moody's maintained Spain's investment-grade credit rating, removing the pressure on the country's debt. This decision by Moody's assures that Spanish bonds will continue to gain investor support; yields feel 5.50%, a level last seen in April. Although Moody's can still downgrade the country's ratings in the future, the decision to not downgrade will encourage the buying of Spain's bonds.
On 9 June 2012 the Eurogroup held an emergency meeting to discuss how to inject capital into Spanish banks. The IMF estimated the capital needs of the Spanish banks to be about 40 billion euros. The Eurogroup announced intentions to provide up to 100,000 million euro to the Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring to the Spanish government. The Spanish government is then expected to give the appropriate amount of money to the respective banks. On 21 June 2012 it was decided that 62,000 million euros would be shared among the Spanish banks in need. The European Union warned that rescued banks are subject to control and Union experts would meet stringent requirements. Since then, the country's borrowing costs have reached levels deemed unsustainable in the long run, raising the prospect of a second aid program for Madrid following the 100 billion euro lifeline it obtained for its banks in June. Spain expects the European Commission, to approve the restructuring plans of the banks needing aid on 15 November 2012 and then to authorize the disbursal of the first credit line of up to 100 billion euros within three weeks after that.
A larger economy than other countries which have received bailout packages, Spain had considerable bargaining power regarding the terms of a bailout. Due to reforms already instituted by Spain's conservative government less stringent austerity requirements are included then was the case with earlier bailout packages for Ireland, Portugal, and Greece.
As the EU's fifth largest economy, Spain remains a large concern. In 2011 Mariano Rajoy took over the government with his conservative views, pushing out José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and his left-wing views. Trying to get Spain out of the highest unemployment rate in the European Union was proven to be harder than expected. The bailout for Spain has been estimated to not be enough to restore the economy. There is a serious debt in the country, and substantial cuts would have to be put in place to restore the economy at this point. The recession has been a concern for a while and shows no sign of lifting any time soon as Spain has yet to meet budget cuts and shows no sign of changing. Many youths are trying to find jobs abroad, creating a problem for the future domestic economy and job market. Rajoy recently proposed a new budget for 2013 that would be very different and would cut government spending by 8.9%. By April 2013, unemployment had risen to 27%.
One effect of the financial crisis is an increase in support for independence in Catalonia. The Statute of Autonomy included a package of laws that gave more power to the region and would have recognized Catalonia as a nation, although one still within Spain. As with the rest of Spain, Catalonia has had high levels of unemployment. As many as 22% of the economically active population, which is still lower than Spain's national jobless rate. In 2010, Spain's Constitutional Court weakened the Statute of Autonomy for Catalonia, which further irritated Catalan secessionist organization.
The 2015 regional election was the first to produce a majority for openly separatist parties. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy insisted that Spain's constitution does not allow a region to secede. Spain's Basque Country unsuccessfully tried to get such a move approved in Parliament in 2008. Catalonian president Artur Mas instead scheduled an independence referendum for 2014, which was downgraded to being a more informal ballot after further intervention by the Constitutional Court. The dispute remains unresolved, as of March 2015.

It's amazing how often we encounter real life examples of opportunity lost, simply because someone was afraid to ask. More about that in a minute. Here's a personal note that brought this to mind for me again recently.
At the time of this writing, my mother, 95, is gravely disabled and in a skilled nursing facility.
During a recent meeting with one of my three brothers, I suggested that we approach the facility about adding another layer of care for our mom, due to her unique situation.
What is remarkable is that my brother and I weren't discussing cars or sports or food, we were talking about our mother's health. Even then, he was hesitant…afraid of rejection. I was stunned at his response. I just do not understand the hesitancy so many people exhibit when there is absolutely nothing to lose.
Sadly, he is not alone. A severe fear of failure or rejection has a clinical term: kakorrhaphiophobia.
But it's extremely common for people to hold back on even harmless issues where, truly, there is no genuine risk—and much to be gained—from simply asking a question.
And so what if they decline? Is that a measure of one's worth? Of course not. But that no-cost marketing exchange question is rarely asked. It's a simple strategy, but it's low cost and mutually beneficial.
If you are not in a medical office building, you still have countless opportunities to partner with other businesses in your geographic and demographic area…and grow your business. But it simply takes someone to ask.
It's hard to say exactly what we imagine will happen. Perhaps a "no" or "no thanks" would be taken personally, or it's a fear of looking (or feeling) stupid, or a mild anxiety about change. Simple requests are nearly always risk-free, and any fear is perceived and not real.
If you are uncomfortable asking the no-cost/high return questions because you anticipate rejection, it is normal and understandable. Consider it a therapeutic exercise and just ask. You are likely to be surprised that you can capitalize on many opportunities.
Let us know how it works out for you. We'd love to hear your story. And for related posts, see: Opportunities to Partner-and-Prosper and Like-Minded Businesses Want to Build Your Organization.
Comedian Bill Cosby once said, "In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure." Only that time, he wasn't joking.

Venice Neighborhood Council Takes Action on Homelessness
The Venice Neighborhood Council Board unanimously accepted an interim report from its Committee on Homelessness and Vehicular Living recommending support of the St. Joseph Center in its efforts to create a service registry of the homeless population of Venice. The program, modeled after successful projects in Santa Monica and Downtown Los Angeles, would assess the needs of the chronically homeless and find permanent supportive housing for the 40 individuals at greatest risk. The VNC Board will request that the Los Angeles City Housing Authority provide additional "Section 8" vouchers to St. Joseph's in support of this new program.
Section 8 vouchers assist low income renters with subsidies that pay their monthly housing costs. The Board will also request that the "Fair Market Rent Level" be raised so that the subsidies fairly compensate land-lords for the housing they provide. The Committee was praised for its ability to come together in making their report and for the work they have performed. A final Committee report focusing on recommendations regarding vehicular living, supportive services and housing for the homeless is expected at the Board's May meeting.
The report was presented at the VNC Board Meeting on March 17th. In other action, the VNC Board voted to reject the placement of advertisement bearing "street furniture" in Venice. Seven years ago a private company received a contract from the City of Los Angeles to place advertising on bus shelters, sidewalk information kiosks, automated toilets and other eye-level emplacements installed by the company at locations it specified in three council districts. In comments describing the advertising as a contract for "blight" and destructive of the character of Venice, the Neighborhood Council refused to participate in the program and called on City Councilman Rosendahl oppose any further installations in Venice.
The Council also postponed consideration of a motion to alter its by-laws to comply with the City of Los Angeles' new definition of a stakeholder. The City's new definition allows anyone who "declares a stake in the neighborhood" and can confirm that stake on some "factual basis" to vote in Neighborhood Council elections and run for Neighborhood Council Office. Board members were concerned that people without ties to the community could exert an undue influence because the new definition of stakeholder is so broad while the "factual basis" rules for confirming stakeholder status have not yet been established. A special meeting of the VNC's Rules and Elections Committee will deal with the matter, considering alternatives ranging from by-laws limiting the number of "factual-basis-stakeholder" Board seats to outright rejection of the new stakeholder definition.

Trail changes to Staple Hill High Street
(Taken from the South Gloucestershire Newsroom)
From Monday 29 June, changes to Staple Hill High Street will be introduced on a trial basis to enable people to shop in a safe environment and adhere to social distancing guidelines as we emerge from COVID-19 restrictions.
As we begin to recover from the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown restrictions are eased, our roads and High Streets are becoming busier. Staying safe and saving lives by keeping to social distancing is more important than ever to help protect the most vulnerable and reduce the rate of infection.
We have a statutory duty to make it as easy as possible to follow rules for social distancing in public places and we are working on several projects to make public places safer.
The changes involve installing traffic signals on the High Street and reducing the road to one lane of traffic across the junction with Page Road, which will enable us to create additional space for pedestrians and cyclists to use.
Traffic will be separated from the pedestrian and cycling areas with barriers and a temporary crossing will be in place. Parking bays on the north side of the High Street, a bus bay and the current, signal-controlled pedestrian crossing will be suspended for the time-being.
Page Road will be closed to through traffic between the free car parks and there will be no direct access to the High Street for motor vehicles. We will signpost the routes to free car parks on Page Road from the High Street.
Following feedback from residents and discussions with local councillors, we will also be closing Signal Road and Charnell Road to through traffic from Monday 29 June to prevent congestion on nearby roads and to improve access to the Bristol-Bath railway path for cyclists and pedestrians.
Cabinet Member for Planning, Transport and Strategic Environment, Cllr Steve Reade said: "These changes are part of our emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic in order to help stop the spread of the virus and save lives in our local communities as lockdown eases.
"We have a statutory duty to make it as easy as possible to follow rules for social distancing and we are supporting the local economy by giving shoppers the confidence to start using their High Street again by providing space to queue and pass each other at a safe distance while enabling businesses to trade outside where possible.
"We will be reviewing these measures regularly and we welcome feedback from the local community. Further schemes across South Gloucestershire will be announced over the coming weeks."
This scheme is one of many we are delivering to help support businesses, allow people to safely get to work and to walk and cycle safely as well as to help schools reopen. The funding for this work comes from central Government through the West of England Combined Authority (WECA). Further information is available on our website www.southglos.gov.uk/making-public-places-safer
We welcome feedback on the trial, please visit www.sustrans.org/space-to-move
We have also adapted our Local Transport Priority List (Assess and Decide) process for considering requests from residents. We welcome any useful suggestions from the public.
If there are any interim measures we can implement to easily help people maintain social distancing we will put these in place as soon as possible. Visit www.southglos.gov.uk/local-transport-priority-list

Pundit predicts 'Excellent' Leeds defender will want permanent exit as multi-million deal mooted
By Sam Stone

Three Brentford players set to miss Premier League clash v Leeds United
Brentford have confirmed that Frank Onyeka, Pontus Jansson and Shandon Baptiste will all miss the Bees' trip to Leeds United on Sunday 22 January.
25-year-old Nigerian international Onyeka has been sidelined with a hamstring injury along with Jansson – and both will be out of the fixture against Jesse Marsch's side (Brentford official website, 20 January).
Baptiste is believed to be on the way to recovery, however, the trip to West Yorkshire will come too soon for the 24-year-old midfielder. Summer signing Aaron Hickey is currently "touch and go" for the match after featuring in a friendly against Leyton Orient on Wednesday (18 January).
However, Thomas Frank will be able to call upon full-back Rico Henry, who missed the 2-0 victory over Bournemouth with a calf strain.
Brentford are not the team Leeds United want to be facing at the moment. Frank's side are unbeaten in seven and have put their slow start to the campaign behind them. They will travel to Elland Road full of confidence and with little pressure on their shoulders due to their good recent form.
It's now up to Jesse Marsch to ensure this group of players build on their demolition of Championship side Cardiff in the FA Cup. Leeds were electric in the first half and it has felt like that kind of performance has been in the pipeline. The challenge is to now replicate it on the Premier League stage.
This weekend could be huge in the Whites' relegation fight. Everton and West Ham United are both playing each other at the London Stadium which could allow Leeds to put some significant distance between them and the bottom three, whilst having a game in hand.
It will be a tough task, but this is looking like another huge game for Marsch's men in their fight to avoid being involved in the relegation conversation come the end of the season.

I offer independent, confidential one-to-one and couples counselling in Weston-super-Mare.
Counselling enables individuals or couples to spend quality time exploring the issues that affect them. I believe this is best achieved within the context of a non-judgemental, empathic and genuine therapeutic relationship which offers the chance for the 'inner' voice to be heard – that which reveals the true Self.
I believe in the value and uniqueness of the individual. So often who we really are gets overshadowed by who we believe we ought to be and how we ought to relate to others, the world around us, and even God. However, these beliefs and rules are likely to have been externally influenced and may not actually reflect our true core Self, resulting in an inner tension. This is what causes anxiety and depression in a lot of cases.
The approach to counselling I employ is referred to as Person-Centred counselling. As the name suggests, it focusses on the individual or couple, and what they feel and believe. I may very gently challenge what is said from time to time, but it is important that how the person feels is validated and heard. The opportunity afforded by our therapeutic relationship allows each person to re-evaluate his or her own sense of self-worth, which then leads to having the courage, and even permission in some cases, to re-assess how they see other people and the world around them.

News-ish with Seann Walsh and Mark Simmons
This week's News-Ish was a very special one; recorded live from Standon Calling! It kicked off with a lovely bit of audience interaction, which was helped by the rain bringing in festival revellers, much to the delight of Seann and Mark. As usual though, Seann's mum was on the phone to deliver the latest dose of local news, including her visit to the animal hospital, and much, much, much more. Seann and Mark also delved into the problems of Fortnite, and introduced a new feature called 'Can You Cross Your Legs'. Neither Seann and Mark could cross their legs, and neither could guest Jake Lambert, who was on weather duties. Seann also had a fight with a child and lost.


Spring has sprung! As the greenery in NYC begins to bloom and the weather begins to warm up, it's safe to say these seasonal changes affect not only our climate but our attitudes.

A.J. Ross has the latest details.
WOODHAVEN, Queens (WABC) -- Police are looking for a man who lured a girl into his car and drove her for an hour in Queens Wednesday morning.
Authorities say the 10-year-old girl was walking on 102nd Street and 88th Avenue in Woodhaven around 7 a.m. when a man in a gray vehicle pulled up and started talking to her.
"I was in the front of the school," she said. "Someone just stopped in front of the school and said, 'Why are you here?'"
She reportedly told him she was going to school, and he said he was a friend of the family and would drive her. The victim got into the car.
"He said, 'Come in the car because I know where (the school) is,'" she said.
The NYPD released a wanted poster after a 10-year-old girl was lured into a car on her way to school in Woodhaven.
The victim's grandfather was also in the area and saw her get in the vehicle. He gave chase, but he was unable to get to the car before it drove off.
"My dad tried to stop the car," the girl's mother said. "He said, 'Why you take her, why you take her?' The man drive fast."
She said the stranger apparently got scared after about an hour and dropped the girl off in Jamaica, near Jamaica Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard. She walked the rest of the way to her school, where she reported what happened.
"Thank God, I am so glad," her mother said. "I want the police to catch this person, because I don't want what happened with my daughter to happen to other people too."
Police have identified the vehicle as a silver 2001 to 2003 Acura TL.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

KILLOUGH CHRONICLES
A Little Madness in the Spring
THE WEEK FROM MY VIEW
by James Killough
It was heartening to see that so many Americans haunting my sector of the Innernet—i.e., politics, foreign affairs, entertainment and Manhunt.net—were so accepting and philosophical about the apparent Islamist victory in Egypt this week. They seemed to understand how hypocritical it is for a nation like ours—which until 2008 had an evangelical Christian president who followed God's direct spoken commands, and which unilaterally supports the essentially fundamentalist Jewish state of Israel—to get up in arms if the Muslim Brotherhood forms a government in Cairo.
Screamin'-at-ya gay and borderline cheesy, Muto Manifesto is still beautifully shot and laid out. The text is pretentious, but it's French, so never mind. Click on the image for more.
This was a something of an unexpected outcome in Egypt; the Arab Spring was fueled and fanned by leftist, secular factions, not by the Egyptian equivalent of our own Nation of Islam. But ain't that always the case: the lefties do all the work, and the righties tell them what to do. I doubt we're going to see a return to the veil in Egypt anytime soon, but the trains will probably run on time.

Q: trigger function in postgresql I want to write a trigger that operated only after all the data I need was inserted.
if for example i'm waiting for 10 parameters, I want to operate the trigger after I get all the 10 parameters.
can I do it in postgresql? how can I know that all the data that I need already inserted?
Thanx

A: In the general case, you can't. The trigger will run on every insert. It needs to look and see whether all the info it wants is there and do nothing if it isn't yet. That's because PostgreSQL has no idea what "all the data" means.
If you can find a way to express that condition in a useful way, like a trigger WHEN clause, such that you can write it as a predicate you might be able to do it. You haven't provided anywhere near enough information to guess.
You may also want to look into deferred constraint triggers. See the documentation.

Q: Is there a way to check if user has scrolled before Is there a way in Kotlin and jetpack composes Lazylists to check if the user has scrolled the list before checking if it stopped? I know that there is a state of isScrollInproggress but if you ask if !isScrollinproggress then this will be true from the start before the user has eaven scrolled once. So my question is is there like a scrollended state to get a hold of or am i screwed?

A: If you need a boolean flag to determine if the user has scrolled before, you can save that data in a state manually.
Sample code logic
var isScrolled by remember {
    mutableStateOf(false)
}
val scrollState = rememberLazyListState()
LaunchedEffect(
    key1 = scrollState.isScrollInProgress,
) {
    if (!isScrolled) {
        isScrolled = scrollState.isScrollInProgress
    }
}

Example code
@Composable
fun IsScrolled() {
    var isScrolled by remember {
        mutableStateOf(false)
    }
    val scrollState = rememberLazyListState()
    val list = Array(50) {
        "Item ${it + 1}"
    }

    LaunchedEffect(
        key1 = scrollState.isScrollInProgress,
    ) {
        if (!isScrolled) {
            isScrolled = scrollState.isScrollInProgress
        }
    }

    Column(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxSize(),
    ) {
        Text(text = "$isScrolled")
        LazyColumn(
            state = scrollState,
            modifier = Modifier
                .background(LightGray)
                .fillMaxSize(),
        ) {
            items(list) {
                Text(
                    text = it,
                    modifier = Modifier
                        .padding(16.dp)
                        .background(White),
                )
            }
        }
    }
}

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington state's insurance commissioner says health insurers in the state have proposed an average rate increase of 19 percent for next year for the individual and family market.
Mike Kreidler said in a statement Monday that 11 insurers filed 74 health plans for 2019. He said there would be no counties where health insurance wouldn't be available, although 14 would have only one insurer selling through Washington's Exchange, Washington Healthplanfinder.
All proposed rates, health plans and coverage areas are under review and may change. Once Kreidler's review is complete, the Washington Health Benefit Exchange Board is scheduled to certify plans for sale on Sept. 13. Open enrollment for the 2019 individual market starts Nov. 1.
Authorities say about 268,400 people buy their health insurance through the individual market and more than 60 percent of people currently enrolled through Washington Healthplanfinder receive a subsidy to help lower their premiums.
The Trump administration is underfunding & deregulating provisions that ensure stable markets & strong patient protections. Wa. will continue to do everything we can to provide affordable options for consumers, but ultimately Congress has to do its part to protect our care.


At the March meeting of the HPTNA Marlon Kimpson requested our support to switch the zoning for 67 Moultrie to Commercial Transitional. After hearing his proposal and answering questions we voted not to support the change to Commercial Transitional. The City of Charleston and the Preservation Society of Charleston also oppose this change.
Despite the lack of support he has requested that it be put on the agenda for approval at Wednesday's Planning Commission Meeting beginning at 5 p.m. The agenda is on the following link.
HPTNA will be present at the meeting to reiterate our position of not supporting the change. We need for others to come to the meeting to show that we do not want this change.
Here is what would be allowed at 67 Moultrie Street if the zoning is changed to Commercial Transitional.

Q: What is a Chrome data compression proxy? I am getting lots of clicks to my servers with headers like so:
HTTP_VIA:1.1 Chrome-Compression-Proxy
HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR:105.XXX.XX.XXX,66.249.93.214
HTTP_FORWARDED:for=105.XXX.XX.XXX

66.249.93.214 is the ip that shows in $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'], while the 105 address is the real IP address of the visitor(I believe). An IP lookup of 66.249.93.214 shows a google proxy/data center.
Advertisers I work with are complaining that this traffic is bot traffic and should not be paid for. They are seeing thousands of clicks in the 66.249 range.
To me, it looks like some sort of chrome extension. Can anyone tell me what's happening here? And if this traffic is legitimate?

A: I'm the tech lead for the Chrome Data Saver proxy. This is indeed legitimate traffic from users who have enabled the Data Saver feature in Chrome. Because the requests to your server will appear as though they are coming from Google's IP addresses, it doesn't surprise me that you are seeing a large volume of traffic from a narrow range of IPs. However, the X-Forwarded-For and Forwarded headers contain the IP address of the user accessing the proxy.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

A: Chrome for Android has a "Data Saver" proxy. This is likely what is sending the traffic you see, which is more than likely legitimate traffic. If you want to prevent users from accessing through this proxy, you can restrict traffic to HTTPS-only, which is preferable for other reasons anyway.

Q: Smartphones and Ubuntu It is time for a new cell phone and I am facing the difficult question: which one?
I would like to get a smartphone and am now browsing around the web to see
which smartphone provides the best support for Ubuntu and can synchronizes best with Ubuntu.
Any tips, info and experience to share?

A: The Nokia N900 is a full-on Linux smartphone. A little less popular than Android, but capable of communicating with your Ubuntu installation through Samba, NFS, Ethernet, USB, etc.

A: Do not get a Samsung Galaxy S,
Samsung rolls out updates via it Kies software. Kies only runs on windows. Samsung does not provide over the air updates.
This means that you will have no way of updating your phone with official firmware.
I found this out the hard way. I assumed it would be like every other android phone and get updates over the air. Sadly it does not.

A: I've only had experience with BlackBerry phones.  BlackBerry phones which have added microSD cards installed are recognized as digital audio players in Ubuntu when connected via USB cable.  As such, you can drag and drop MP3 music files, photos, MS Office documents (if you use Documents to Go) or compatible eBooks onto the drive within their designated folders.  Video is a bit trickier on older BlackBerrys like the Curve or the Pearl as they need to be reduced in resolution to fit the native screen and compressed for size (this can be done with the software program Handbrake).  BlackBerrys tend to prefer the MP4 file container.
Like other phones, a Windows machine with native desktop software (BlackBerry Desktop) is required to back up mail, calendar and contact information as well as update the OS.  Though the newer model BlackBerrys do allow over the air OS updates if you have a good data plan.

A: As others have mentioned, Android-based phones work out of the box. My Nexus One shows up as mass storage, which lets me manage it via my music player, photo editor, etc. You can drag and drop things to it like any device:

The one problem with the default music application (Rhythmbox) is that the playlists currently do not sync. This problem will be addressed in a future version. However the Banshee media player currently manages this quite well, which is what I use to manage the music on my Nexus.
The other downside for you might be that you have to use Google services to get the over-the-air syncing goodness. So if you have your contacts/calendar/email locally in your applications then you have to find a syncing solution vs. if you use gmail everything just works transparently. Some people might not like this but I find it to be a very handy feature. Having owned both a blackberry and an iPhone 3G (which I needed to plug in and sync) there's much less hassle to have everything syncing over-the-air.
Also, depending on whether your carrier has Android 2.2 and doesn't disable tethering it just works when you plug it in.

A: I have an Android device (Motorola Milestone, called "Droid" in the US) that works great with Ubuntu... but you actually don't need to "sync" it, since the purpose of Android is to sync with your Google account.
 Then I have my Thunderbird + Lightning synced with my Google mail/contact/calendar (also works with Evolution), and I have the Android smartphone doing the same on its side.
You also can use UbuntuOne contact syncing if you prefer (works on Evolution, Thunderbird, and Android devices). It is still in beta, and seems to be targetted for paying users, but it may be a solution, if you don't want to rely on Google only :)
Then for music: Rythmbox can see it when I plug it on USB, and I can manage my phone's playlist from it. For photo/video/whatever, the phone is actually seen as a USB drive, so you can go put/remove files as you like.
No issue so far, I really find it easy to use.
Edit: About the iPhone... I guess it's worth some comments :)
We already have questions about iPhone syncing with Ubuntu on this site. Run a search for "iPhone" to find more. But you'll find all needed information here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone
Basically: it works, at least for music/video/podcast syncing. You can even get tethering working. Contact/calendar cannot be synced, but you can sync your iPhone to Google, so it's not a big deal.
Now the fact is that some things will require iTunes. For instance: Application management, phone's upgrade and phone's settings backup. And iTunes doesn't work on Linux :(
I am mentionning it because I know people are advertising the support of iPhones on Ubuntu, while this support is not as complete as you might think.
I had an iPhone some times ago. Great device, but I had to sell it because of this incompatibility (and other personal reasons). No fun to have a VM just for iTunes :-(

A: In general Android phones will work best. They behave out of the box, like a camera, a removable drive and an mp3-player. Bluetooth also works. (and the phone runs linux like Ubuntu, which is kind of cool)
For Ubuntu One, they seem to focus on iPhone support for syncing first. So if you want to synchronize your tomboy notes or your ubuntu-one files over the air, the iPhone is the better choice.
