For those that didn't see, there is a new all singing all dancing 'light-weight' Codec in town that is actually a trojan.
Indeed it's not the first time we've seen this kind of thing.
The zCodec software actually messes with your DNS settings.
Users looking for the latest and greatest video software may not just be in danger from media lawyers. Security firm Panda Software last week warned that zCodec, which claims to offer "up to 40 percent better (video) quality," is in fact an adware program that can install Trojans, rootkits and other malicious software.
zCodec is freely available online and, as of Monday afternoon, was easy enough to find, offering downloads from its own website – zcodec.com. The site uses images from the films Sin City and Pulp Fiction, and claims zCodec will boost audio as well as video quality.
"zCodec is a multimedia compressor/decompressor which registers into the Windows collection of multimedia drivers and integrates with any application using DirectShow and Microsoft Video for Windows," the site states.
Media players use codecs (compressor/decompressors) to compress and play back digital media files, but in the real world, for a codec to make any quality difference, a file must be encoded using that codec.
As always do be vigilant when installing software and use a software or desktop firewall to patrol outgoing connections. You can also use something like TCPView to check on outgoing connections a little easier than using plain old netstat.
Panda's advisory last week revealed that the 100KB file is in fact adware, which "downloads and runs files, changes the DNS configuration and monitors accesses to several adult websites".
zCodec, formally known as Adware/ZCodec or Adware/EMediacodec, affects most versions of Windows and was first detected last week, Panda said.
When run, the program alters the system's DNS configuration in order to divert traffic to DNS servers of its choice, a technique sometimes used as part of a phishing scam or to rack up clicks for advertising schemes.
zCodec also accesses a particular IP address to randomly select and download one of a collection of files. The files that could be downloaded include Ruins.MB, a Trojan horse that uses rootkit techniques to conceal itself, Panda said. zCodec could also download an online casino program.
A second file launches every time the user starts Internet Explorer and monitors Web usage. Panda said its software can remove zCodec.
Companies are getting really unscrupulous, what is going to come next I do wonder?
I thought FFDSHOW can decode other codecs and also enhance it?


Scientist Paul M. Quinton in his lab at the University of California, San Diego.
California scientist Paul M. Quinton learned that he has cystic fibrosis at age 19 and has spent his long career in his lab working on ways to cure it.
He is, in short, not the kind of person you'd expect to be fighting with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc., the company developing a new class of breakthrough drugs for the obstructive lung disease.
But he and a group of prominent cystic fibrosis doctors are doing just that. For the past three years, they have engaged in a private and largely fruitless dialogue with Vertex over their complaints that the Boston biotechnology firm is overcharging for its medicines.
Now, nearly three weeks after Vertex won US approval for a two-drug therapy called Orkambi that eventually could treat roughly half of the 30,000 Americans with cystic fibrosis, Quinton and his medical colleagues are going public with their objection to the company's decision to price the drug at $259,000 per patient annually.
If the drug is approved, Vertex executives could reap $53 million in bonuses while patients pay hundreds of thousands per year.
The question resonates with health insurers and consumer groups that have raised alarms about the soaring prices of specialty therapies for everything from cancers to rare genetic disorders. Vertex's prices have come under scrutiny, initially in a 2013 article in a leading medical journal, partly because they seemed to crystallize the broader debate over how to hold down health costs while rewarding makers of treatments for relatively small numbers of patients.
Vertex spokesman Zach Barber said the company, which has lost money in all but one of its 26 years, has invested billions of dollars in its cystic fibrosis program. Vertex needs to generate the revenue and profit that will enable it to expand the market for Orkambi worldwide and develop treatments for cystic fibrosis patients with other mutations, Barber said.
Dr. Brian P. O'Sullivan, a pulmonary specialist at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Children's Hospital in New Hamphire, is one of those who joined Quinton in meetings with Vertex executives. He said the group is concerned not only about the cost of Orkambi and Kalydeco, another Vertex cystic fibrosis drug priced at more than $300,000 a year, but about the cost of specialty drugs of all kinds.
"This is not sustainable," said O'Sullivan, who until recently taught at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester. He said he hopes to bring the issue of high drug prices to larger groups of specialists in cystic fibrosis and other medical fields.
The Food and Drug Administration initially approved Orkambi for a population of only about 8,500 patients age 12 and over with the most common cystic fibrosis mutation. Vertex already has begun making the treatment available to those patients and is testing it on Americans under 12 and on subsets of patients in other countries with the same mutation. Its other drug, Kalydeco, treats about 2,000 cystic fibrosis patients with a different mutation.
Patients don't typically pay for drugs out of their own pockets. About 35 percent of those now eligible for Orkambi are insured by Medicaid, the government program for low-income residents. Most of the rest are covered by private insurers. But even when insurers foot most of the bill, patients are responsible for often hefty deductibles and copays. And the drugs contribute to a health care system that is increasingly expensive for everyone.
Vertex says its aim is to make sure every patient who is eligible for Orkambi can get it. The company has launched a program to provide the drug free to uninsured patients and subsidize copays for qualified insured patients.
In a conference call after the FDA approval, Vertex chief commercial officer Stuart Arbuckle cited four factors in justifying Orkambi's price: a small patient population, the clinical benefit of a drug combination that treats the underlying cause of the disease, the time and cost of Vertex's efforts to bring the medicine to market, and the need to invest in research to develop other therapies for tens of thousands of patients with other forms of cystic fibrosis.
"It is highly expensive and risky," Arbuckle said.
Quinton and his associates are quick to note that other parties, including the US government and a private foundation, helped fund early research on Vertex's medicines. In the 1980s, in his federally funded lab, Quinton himself made a discovery — identifying a basic defect in the sweat glands — that was a building block in research that led to cystic fibrosis drugs. While he said he doesn't believe he should profit from his own contribution to cystic fibrosis therapies through publicly funded research, Quinton questions the compensation to executives who he said got involved in the drug program much later. "It just seems wrong," he said.
Quinton said he is particularly upset about Vertex's board awarding more than $53 million in one-time bonuses to a dozen senior executives. The payouts would not come until the end of 2017 at the earliest, and only after the company posted profits for the previous four quarters. Analysts say this is a likely scenario given their sales projections for Orkambi.
"What we've done is essentially make the executives a bunch of millionaires," said Quinton, who takes Vertex's Kalydeco to improve his breathing and who runs a lab focusing on cystic fibrosis at the University of California at San Diego.
Quinton, O'Sullivan, and other cystic fibrosis specialists, including Dr. David Orenstein at the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and Dr. Mark Pian, a San Diego doctor who is former director for the cystic fibrosis center at the University of California at San Diego, first raised the issue of Vertex's pricing after Kalydeco entered the US market in 2012.
They corresponded by e-mail with company leaders, including chief executive Jeffrey M. Leiden, and personally brought their concerns to Leiden and his lieutenants in private meetings during North American Cystic Fibrosis Conferences in Orlando in 2012 and Atlanta last fall.
At the meetings, they recall, Leiden invited them to support Vertex in its campaign to find treatments for almost all types of cystic fibrosis by 2020. But he also made it clear, they said, that Vertex needed to generate the revenue that would let it invest in other profitable drugs. They said he warned that lower prices could make the company vulnerable to a takeover by a pharmaceutical giant with less interest in pursuing cystic fibrosis drug development.
Quinton and the cystic fibrosis doctors say they also proposed that Leiden and other Vertex executives address the price issue before a larger forum or in a webcast that would be open to doctors and patients via the Internet, but nothing came of the idea.
"We really saw that the bottom line was what the market would bear," Orenstein recalled. "He [Leiden] said every year they were in the red and Wall Street has only so much patience and no more." Orenstein conceded that he and his colleagues don't know what the price of a drug like Orkambi should be. "We're not health economists," he said.
Barber, the Vertex spokesman, said that in the meetings Leiden sought to communicate the company's goal of becoming a sustainable and independent business. But he denied the Vertex chief executive said that drugs were being priced to Wall Street expectations.
In October 2013, about a year after they first met with the Vertex executives, O'Sullivan, Orenstein, and Dr. Carlos E. Milla at the Stanford University School of Medicine coauthored an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association criticizing the pricing of drugs for rare diseases. The article centered on Kalydeco, which had been introduced the previous year. Vertex had set Kalydeco's price at $294,000 per year and increased it to $311,000, they wrote.
"The vast majority of patients cannot afford this financial burden, and transferring the cost to private or federal insurers does not obviate the underlying problem — an unsustainable pricing structure," they wrote. They also noted that, as with most drug development programs, Vertex didn't develop Kalydeco alone. The National Institutes of Health and other funders, including the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, helped underwrite basic research and subsequent development at Vertex and a company it acquired, Aurora Biosciences Corp. of San Diego.


Aaron Rodgers has played every season except his rookie year under Mike McCarthy.
Meaning he led the team in attempts for the game.
Because every Packer coach must be named "Mike".
Minimum six starts during the season, using data since 1990 (the era of the current playoff setup).
Though their defense was shredded by Matt Ryan and the Falcons for 493 yards, ending the streak.
It then compares that number to the per-game average allowed by the opposing defense in all other games that season (excluding the game in question). By definition, an average PVA is 0.0. Then a running mean of PVA is kept for both teams and individual QBs, which is used to modify the team's base rating depending on which QB is used. (Interestingly, the predictions work best when the individual ratings update slightly faster than the team ones, which suggest QB "hot streaks" do contain extra information.) Debut QBs are assigned an expected PVA of -47, and they reduce a team's effective Elo rating by 108 points relative to an average QB.
In addition to the lack of starters from recent drafts, only two of the team's current starters were drafted by a team other than Green Bay. Again, this was the byproduct of the Packers' religious devotion to drafting and developing their own prospects, but that plan only really works when you draft well.
A little note is in order here, to explain how these game importance ratings are now calculated. All season long, I have been crunching the numbers on how a given game affects the two teams involved. But this week, with the playoffs on the horizon and certain matchups taking on more importance because of their outside implications, I changed the formula to add up a game's potential swing in playoff odds for every team in the league — including those not participating in the game itself.

Group to weigh bricks against trees for park
By ROGER DROUIN
The intersection of Main Street and Palm Avenue has been due for a makeover for more than four years, with as much as $130,000 set aside to install plants, brick and benches.
But for those same four years, the project has been mired in debate.
On one side, members of the downtown group Save Our Sarasota want more trees and plants. On the other side merchants and some downtown residents prefer an urban look with more brick and fewer plants.
But everyone agrees Main and Palm is a key intersection, and ought to be a model for other intersections.
Now, after several failed attempts at compromise, city officials have appointed a committee to break the stalemate.
The five-member group -- which consists of a property owner, a restaurateur, a gardener, a downtown condo resident and a person who has lobbied in the past for more greenery downtown -- will have its first meeting Tuesday to talk about improvements at Main Street and Palm Avenue.
"They'll have a blank canvas to work within the lines," said Clifford Smith, a senior planner with the city.
Smith says the committee could eventually become a model for how the city initiates improvements downtown.
The group will eventually make recommendations to the City Commission. But after years of debate, some of the funding may have dried up.
Three years ago, the city funded $80,000 and the developer of the nearby 1350 Main project kicked in $50,000 for improvements there. The $80,000 is still set aside in the city's budget, but city officials are not sure if the $50,000 is still available.
One of the main engineering goals is to improve visibility for pedestrians at the heavily-traveled intersection, said the city's director of engineering, Alex Davis-Shaw.
Committee member John Moran has high hopes for the intersection in the middle of two of the most popular streets downtown for shopping and dining.
"My goal is to create an outstanding intersection that can compete with the ambience of St. Armands Circle," said Moran, president of the Downtown Condominium Association. "And that's a challenge."
Janice Green, who voiced concerns about an earlier plan to spruce up the intersection, hopes that the committee will come up with something more palatable.
"There has to be some greenery so you don't feel overwhelmed," Green said. "Even New York City has lots of trees on the east side."
Green is chairwoman of Save Our Sarasota, a group that has lobbied against several proposals to make downtown more urban.
"Let's see what they come up with," Green said. "So far, SOS is very pleased with what is going on. I think it is a wonderful first step."
Carol Reynolds, also a member of Save Our Sarasota, will serve on the committee.
Other members of the committee include: Diana Hamilton, a downtown gardener; Andrew Foley, co-owner of Sarasota News & Books; Giovanni Migionini, owner of Epicure Restaurant; and Moran.
Hamilton, who was instrumental in extending a street tree program into Laurel Park in 2000, said she will try for a balance of green and outdoor dining or other space where people can meet and mingle.
"Over the next couple of years, we will see downtown really take off," Hamilton said. "There is a real undercurrent of excitement. And I think our little committee will contribute a lot."

Already facing tough fundraising prospects in a sluggish economy, the local United Way agency found more cause for worry this week thanks to its well-heeled colleagues in Charlotte.
News that Charlotte's United Way president earns more than $1.2 million in annual pay has sparked outrage from critics who say it's too much for a nonprofit.
Now, United Way leaders in York County fear perceptions of lavish salaries will dissuade local donors at a time when budgets are already strained. Their concern is that donors will link the two organizations, even though York County operates as a separate body.
"We don't want to disparage what they're doing and talk about them," said board chairman Scott Wells, a developer from Fort Mill. "We just want people to be aware we're not affiliated, other than through the United Way of America. Other than that, everything else is local."

ABC is one of the biggest television networks in the United States, and many of its latest TV episodes can be streamed directly through the WABC Programs addon. While it won't have everything you can imagine, it does have quite a bit for an addon that's fully legal and free of charge. We highly suggest downloading the WABC Programs addon as part of your Kodi addon selection. It should be noted that it's possible that this Kodi addon might not work outside of the United States, in which case you can always use a VPN service to gain access internationally.
WABC Programs is distributed exclusively by the official Kodi addon repository, which is run by the XBMC Foundation themselves. Addons in the official Kodi repo must adhere to stricter development regulations, must be stable, and not require constant updating. This is why online the most stable of Kodi addons make it into their own repository, since most addons need updates more often than they'll allow. We will now take you through the whole step by step process (even though it's super short) of downloading and installing the WABC Programs Kodi addon to any Kodi box.
Step 6: Choose the WABC Programs Kodi addon from the listing.
Step 9: Launch the WABC Programs addon from the Video add-ons tab.
Step 10: Select the television show you'd like to watch.
Step 11: Select the episode you wish to stream!
It's no wonder that once again we see t1m as the developer of another fantastic addon that scrapes its content from legitimately licensed sources. It is comforting to see that there are still good free sites that you can watch TV through without needing to break the law. WABC Programs comes highly recommended.

State Representative Lana Theis of Brighton announced her candidacy for the 22nd state senate seat today, which covers all of Livingston County and portions of Washtenaw County. Current State Senator, Joe Hune, is term-limited and cannot seek re-election.
"I am excited and proud to announce my candidacy for state senate. I have gained a tremendous understanding of the complexities of state government over my two terms as state representative. More importantly I know how critical it is to understand the issues that come before me. I am proud of my reputation of digging deep into the issues; learning all I can; and making informed, educated votes," Representative Theis said.
First elected in 2015, Representative Theis serves the 42nd House District in Livingston County. From 2008-2014, Theis served as Brighton Township treasurer. Additionally, she has served as the chair of the Brighton Area Fire Authority, the Livingston County Republican Party and the Livingston County Treasurers' Association. She was also a member of the Brighton Township Planning Commission.
"Throughout my time in public service, I have worked tirelessly to make government at all levels efficient, responsive and more accountable to my constituents and the people of Michigan. From fighting over-reaching local township zoning ordinances, to testifying in Lansing before state committees as a private citizen, and now as a member of some of those same committees; I have spent more than 10 years working to reduce the size of government and fighting for the hard-working taxpayers of our great state." Theis stated.
"I believe the focus of our state government should be simple: freedom, family, finance and fundamentals! We need a government that sets the framework and then gets out of the way. This allows our people and our businesses to thrive and creates the best possible environment for success and freedom in our country. The family is at the heart and most important part of this equation. Raising our children and working hard to guarantee Michigan is the best it can be is the key to ensuring the success of future generations." Theis continued.
"I am fortunate to be in a position where I can devote my time and energy serving my community. Keeping Livingston and Washtenaw counties a wonderful place to live, work and play for future generations are the cornerstones of my campaign. I look forward to meeting and hearing from our citizens, tackling the challenges ahead and a positive campaign." Theis concluded.
State Representative Theis has been married to her husband Sam for over 20 years and they are the proud parents of Jacob and Gabrielle.

Adding a line-up of gourmet soups to your café is a great way to please customers throughout the year. When your café features traditional soups with gourmet twists, you'll set yourself apart from your competitors and increase the likelihood of offering something new to your restaurant patrons. Here are some gourmet twists on five classic soups for your café. Remember, to make and serve great soups all you will need is a few good stock pots, soup ladles, and attractive soup bowls.
Tomato soup is one of the most popular soups featured at a café. This flavorful soup is perfect when paired with a grilled, cheese sandwich. However, plain tomato soup is rather dull, so you can give this dish a gourmet twist by turning it into a bisque. Just add some heavy cream and some grilled, pureed tomatoes, and you can provide customers with an indulgent, satisfying meal.
Pairing vegetables with cheese in to make soup is nothing new, but you can astound guests with your gourmet flair by adding a little bit of the unexpected to this common soup. For broccoli and cheese soup, skip the cheese-flavored cubes and add real melted cheese. Adding gourmet cheese such as muenster cheese makes this traditional soup sound interesting and taste delicious.
Chicken noodle soup is traditional and flavorful, and it's also easy to turn this soup into a gourmet culinary experience. Make your own noodles from scratch, fill the soup with shaved rotisserie chicken, and add a variety of in-season vegetables for a delicious and visually stunning gourmet soup.
Butternut squash, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkin and acorn squash have become quite popular as pureed soups. Their bright, appetizing colors make the soup visually interesting, and these soups are perfect when seasoned with clove, cinnamon, coriander, cumin, curry, or other non-traditional spices.
There's no reason why a soup that is superbly comforting and casual cannot also be gourmet and impressive. Chili and chowder are two soups that are incredibly popular among consumers. When a customer orders a steaming bowl of chili, he knows that will be receiving a hearty meal that will drive the chill out and satisfy his stomach. If chili and chowder seem to blasé for your café, you can add gourmet ingredients to give these casual soups a face lift.
For example, clam chowder is a popular type of chowder. Instead of this normal menu item, though, consider making it gourmet with the addition of crab meat, lobster meat, or scallions. Top-notch seafood chowder sounds much fancier than traditional clam chowder. With chili, the opportunities are endless. You can add gourmet meats such as bison or lamb to make the chili sound more interesting, or add interesting spices such as curry, Garam Masala, or clove for a unique twist on a common dish.
A quality line of gourmet soups can do wonders for your café. Soups with delicious and aromatic ingredients, or an unexpected twist, will show customers that your café is a few steps above the average food establishment. Most of these soups are simple to prepare, and you can easily turn a plain soup into a gourmet soup with a few non-traditional additions.


Getting braces as an adult is easier when you can choose options that fit in with your needs and lifestyle. If you need to be conscious of the way your smile looks for work or because of your social life, it's good to know that invisible braces exist. Invisible braces are any teeth straightening method that is discreet or hidden once it is in place. They tend to be unobtrusive and either see-through or tooth-coloured.
At Ace Dental, we have lots of options when it comes to your invisible teeth straightening treatment. These can be divided into two categories – fixed and removable.
Fixed invisible braces are attached to the teeth in the same way as traditional braces. The difference is that the wires and brackets blend in with the teeth so they are harder to spot from a distance. They stay in place for the duration of your treatment and they are periodically adjusted to ensure that they remain effective.
At Ace Dental, we offer our patients maximum choice so that, when you are selecting your teeth straightening system, you know you're picking the one that is right for your needs. That's why we carry many of the leading brands when it comes to fixed, invisible braces such as Quick Straight Teeth, Six Month Smiles and the Damon System.
When you choose removable aligners, you are in control of your equipment and can remove it at any time. There are guidelines that you need to follow to ensure that you hit the minimum quota of hours that you are required to wear them so that they will be effective. Some aligners are made from very thin pieces of metal whereas others are clear plastic. Either way, they have a low impact on the appearance of your smile. You still need to visit the dentist for check-ups when you have removable aligners but each appointment will not be very long.
Removable invisible braces come in a number of formats and each is designed to suit different circumstances. That's why, when you are choosing removable braces from Ace Dental, we can recommend Quick Straight Teeth, Inman Aligner or Invisalign depending on your circumstances.

Are you one of the many thousands of people who are unhappy with their smile? Is your smile misaligned or overcrowded? You deserve to be happy with your reflection and Ace Dental in Camden can help you achieve this with the use of invisible braces.
Quick Straight Teeth uses transparent brackets that attach to your teeth. They use white, tooth-coloured wires so that the braces are discreet. Most people won't even be able to tell that you are wearing invisible braces. The treatment works much like removable aligners, but tooth movement is more predictable and more than twice as quick.
Quick Straight Teeth achieve very fast results as the focus is on moving your front six to eight teeth, known as the 'social six'. These are the teeth that are normally seen when you talk and smile. Once the invisible braces are on your teeth they work in a similar way to other fixed braces by gently applying pressure to your teeth to guide them into the correct position.
Due to low laboratory fees and quick very treatment times, invisible braces costs are kept to a minimum. Quick Straight Teeth are more cost-effective than all other similar systems in the UK for invisible braces.
Will they take a long time?
Getting invisible braces for teeth is fast. Treatments take 4 — 24 weeks depending on the complexity of each case. Invisible braces cost little time and money.
The best way to find out is to book a consultation with one of our experienced dentists at Ace Dental. Quick Straight Teeth will work best for patients who have slightly protruding front teeth and mild to moderate overcrowding. Once your invisible braces treatment is complete you will need to wear a retainer to keep your smile as perfect as possible. Otherwise the teeth can begin to drift back towards their original positions.
It could be the time to improve your smile. Give us a call today to find out when you could start your treatment and achieve your happier smile as soon as possible.

Modern braces don't have to be made from metal, and in some cases orthodontic treatment needn't mean wearing a fixed brace at all. Ace Dental in Camden offers a number of discreet teeth straightening options, designed for adults who would like to enjoy the benefits of straighter without having to wear obvious metal braces.
Orthodontic treatment is often wrongly thought of as only being for children or teenagers. In fact, the benefits of straighter teeth can be enjoyed at any stage in life. Ace Dental in Camden welcomes adult orthodontic patients who either missed out on having braces in their younger days or had treatment only for their teeth to move back to their original position.
Our Camden dental practice uses both fixed braces and clear, removable aligners to move adults' teeth. The benefits of orthodontic treatment are more than just aesthetic; whilst it may be concerns about your smile's appearance that initially bring you to our Camden dental centre for teeth straightening consultation, there are numerous health benefits to be gained, too.
To put it simply, straighter teeth are healthier teeth. Improving tooth alignment reduces the hard-to-clean areas where plaque can build up. So long as you practise good dental hygiene and visit your dentist and hygienist regularly, using braces or aligners to straighten your teeth can reduce your chances of both gum disease and tooth decay.
Studies have linked gum disease to a number of general health conditions, including heart and lung disease, premature labour and low birth weight in babies whose mother has the condition.
When you come to Ace Dental in Camden for a teeth straightening consultation, your dentist will conduct a thorough clinical examination to ascertain the best way to treat you. If you have a preference for braces or aligners, please let your clinician know; we always do our best to accommodate patients' wishes at our Camden clinic, although the best option for your clinical situation will always be used.
Among the options are lingual braces, which are attached to the rear surfaces of the teeth, tooth-coloured braces, and various removable aligners.

Straighter teeth is the number one item on many people's smile wish list. Teeth that are misaligned, crooked or crowded cause many adults to be embarrassed about smiling or laughing in public. However, a lot of people when they think about orthodontic treatment imagine traditional metal and wire braces. These are highly effective, but are also very obvious.
The thought of wearing metal braces for a considerable period of time is even more embarrassing to many than having crooked teeth. Fortunately, there are discreet options available to correct a range of orthodontic problems. Read on to discover how we can help. . .
Fixed appliances (braces) are often the best solution to correct misaligned bites, crowded teeth or unwanted gaps between your teeth. The dental specialty of orthodontics has advanced greatly in recent years, so that patients can benefit from the effect of treatment with fixed braces without the metallic glint to your smile.
Quick Straight Teeth fixed appliance are based on the same principals as metal braces. However, they use tooth-coloured wires and clear brackets, meaning they are almost invisible. Treatment with Quick Straight Teeth fixed braces is predictable and often twice as fast as with clear aligners. They work so quickly by focussing on the front six to eight teeth, which also means they are more comfortable than traditional braces because there is no need for excessive tightening of the wire.
Six Month Smiles are a popular way to correct minor to moderate orthodontic problems, focussing on the aesthetic appearance of your smile. They comprise clear brackets and tooth-coloured wires to gently move the "social six" front teeth into a better position. Because they focus on the front teeth they act quickly, with many patients completing treatment in less than six months. They use milder forces than traditional braces, so are more comfortable, as well as being cheaper than traditional orthodontic treatments.
Damon lingual braces are much like traditional braces, but the major difference is they are fixed to the back or "lingual" side of your teeth. This means that nobody will know you are wearing them.
Brackets and wires are customised to fit your teeth exactly, and are suitable for almost every type of orthodontic problem. Damon lingual braces provide accurate treatment for even severe orthodontic cases, and average treatment time is 24 months.

Many adults, when asked what they would like to change about their smile, reply that they would like straighter teeth. However, the thought of having to wear braces for any period of time is enough to put many people off seeking treatment.
Traditional metal braces, with their "train-track" style wires and brackets, are very obvious, and even clear and tooth-coloured fixed appliances can interfere with your lifestyle, as they require careful cleaning, more frequent visits to the dentist and hygienist, and can affect your speech, your diet and ability to pursue interests such as playing musical instruments in the early days.
That's why, for mild to moderate cases of crowded teeth, misaligned teeth and bites, and gaps between the teeth, we recommend using removable clear appliances.
These appliances work in a similar way to fixed braces, gently guiding your teeth into a more desirable position. They have two key features: they are removable, meaning you can take them out to eat – so your diet isn't restricted – and to clean, and they are clear, meaning that when you are wearing them, nobody will notice you are having orthodontic treatment.
Quick Straight Teeth offer a range of clear, removable appliances that use gentle forces to guide your teeth into a new position. These plastic appliances are incredibly comfortable and highly discreet, using state-of-the-art technology to change the position of your teeth. Average treatment time is between six and 16 weeks.
This clear aligner is great for treating protruding or crowded front teeth. Its unique design utilises gentle forces applied to the front and back of the teeth to move them quickly and safely. Average treatment time is between six and 18 weeks, and you can remove the aligner to eat and to clean.
Invisalign comprises a series of clear aligners that guide your teeth into a new position. Each set of between 18 and 30 aligners is made to fit your teeth perfectly, and you will need to change your aligner approximately every two weeks as your teeth move. It can correct a wide range of problems, and has average treatment times of between nine and 15 months.

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi officially declare his intention to run for the 2023 Presidency 2022/01/19
The Kogi State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja has dismissed the petition filed by Natasha Akpoti, the candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and her party against Governor Yahaya Bello.
A three-man panel of judges led by Justice Kashim Kaigama dismissed the suit in a unanimous judgment on Monday.
The petitioners had filed the suit to challenge the victory of Governor Yahaya Bello of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the November 16, 2019 governorship election in Kogi.
Delivering the lead judgement, Justice Kaigama held that the petition failed woefully as the testimonies given by the petitioners' witnesses amounted to hearsay, doubtful, illogical, and of no probative value.
The Tribunal, however, awarded a cost of N600,000 to be paid by the petitioners to the three respondents.
They include the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the APC, and Governor Bello.

Airpower Studies # 1 43-1716 contain the fires they caused" (Guttman,4). "The defensive armament was particularly scarce and no Italian bomber had a tail turret" (D'Amico, 5). The listing of the errors and of the lacks could continue such as "the insufficient size of the bombs used, the inadequate radio equipment of the planes, the imprecise aiming systems of the bombers, the primitive instruments for the night and low visibility flying. Moreover, the lack of the radar, never allowed any concrete kind of day and especially night fighting" (Pramstrahler,7). Such a listing would have been a very serious one for any air force. Thus, it was dramatic for the RA. On the other hand, the technical inferiority also effected Italian pilots' spirit and eagerness to fight. "The most sublime pages of heroism are generally written in wars that are lost"(Giancola,226). This condition led a general to bitterly write to one of his friends "our aircraft are inferior to the British's aircraft in an absolutely laughable fashion. Nowadays, nobody wants to become a fighter pilot. Before our pilots receive their flight badges, fifty percent are shot-dead" (Hallion,6).

WA bushfires: Firefighters work through the night to control several blazes
South Australia Premier Steven Marshall is giving a COVID-19 update
By David Weber
Posted Sun 22 Nov 2015 at 4:42am Sunday 22 Nov 2015 at 4:42am Sun 22 Nov 2015 at 4:42am , updated Sun 22 Nov 2015 at 3:03pm Sunday 22 Nov 2015 at 3:03pm Sun 22 Nov 2015 at 3:03pm
An emergency warning has also been issued for people in the western part of Ellenbrook. (Twitter: Johanna Garnett)
abc.net.au/news/three-bushfire-warnings-for-wa-residents/6962188
Firefighters in Western Australia are working through the night to control and contain several blazes.
An alert for a fire burning near the Brand Highway at North Muchea has been downgraded to "watch and act".
An emergency warning was in place for the area, where a fire threatened homes along Brand between Timaru Road and Byrne Road.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) said the blaze started in Yanchep pine plantation.
An emergency warning for the western part of Bindoon was earlier downgraded to "watch and act".
A man was injured defending his property at Bindoon, but not seriously.
Bindoon incident controller Brad Miles said it appeared property losses were slight.
"We have had a report of one property [being] lost, [which] we believe that is an outbuilding for one of the rural properties," he said.
"There's been no loss of life, one man was treated for burns to his legs.
"He's an elderly gent [who] was fighting the fire on his property and he received minor burns to his legs.
"About 10 power poles have been damaged. We'll be working through the night to contain the fire, I think that will be achieved by probably sunrise."
Chittering Shire chief executive Gary Tuffin thanked firefighters for their efforts.
"There's probably about 120 or so career-grade, as well as volunteers, so it's been a fantastic effort," he said.
Mr Tuffin said Bindoon Primary School was under threat for a time.
He said no stock losses had been reported.
The alert level in Ellenbrook was also downgraded.
A fire in bushland adjacent to Charlottes Vista had posed a threat to homes for much of Sunday afternoon.
Further outside of Perth, the alert levels for Julimar State Forest in the Shire of Toodyay and Myrup in the Shire of Esperance have both been downgraded as conditions have eased considerably.
Authorities said residents should remain alert.
Meanwhile, DFES has given the all-clear for residents in the Karri Lakes Subdivision in the Quinninup townsite in the Shire of Manjimup.
That fire, which was reported to authorities shortly before 5:00pm on Saturday (local time), has been extinguished.
There have been several devastating fires in the region since last weekend.
One of the blazes claimed the life of four people, including local farmer Kym Curnow and three European nationals.
The Mullet Lakes bushfire also flared on Saturday. (Twitter: Andy Johnston)

Donald Trump wants to bring back stop-and-frisk to help high-crime areas. But those who were affected by the program in New York want nothing to do with it.
Clinton is trying to unify the left to make her president but many Sanders loyalists are resisting that call. That might be a principled stance but it hurts them, too.
Bernie Sanders's campaign for president has inspired a new generation of political activists to get involved with their feet and their voices, not just their votes.
People from across the country descended on Cleveland to protest and "Stop Trump." But they still don't want to vote for his opponent.
The Republican National Convention comes to Cleveland next week, and with demostrators coming from across the country to both protest and support Donald Trump, things could get ugly.
If Trump Were a Clinton Plant, What Would He Do Differently?
Donald Trump talks a lot about winning but he runs a campaign that almost seems intended to fail — and wreak havoc on the GOP in the process. Could he be helping an unpopular Hillary Clinton more if he tried?
WWW DIGS: Did the 2014 Sale of a Manhattan Rat Den Lead to Brooklyn's Voter Purge?
Shortly after Hillary Clinton won the New York primary, the theory emerged that a Manhattan real estate deal could be tied to the purging of tens of thousands of Democratic voters from the rolls. We looked into the allegations and here is what we found.
The candidates who dropped out of the race already made their mark on the election by finding new ways to break the rules and eliminate transparency in the process.
For some people, Bernie Sanders is too far to the left. But, for others, he isn't far enough to the left — and they are increasingly vocal about their discontent.


the reported symptom will not show after patching ffplay.c as such.
Please post patches on ffmpeg-devel, they get more attention there.
Let's forget the patch, it is does not work now.
But the symptom remains. After changing audio stream, video becomes out of sync. The user have to seek backward then forward by pressing arrow key in order to sync the audio and video streams.
FFplay should handle this unless the A-V difference becomes greater than 10 seconds, which may happen for some files.
Can you reproduce the problem if you change AV_NOSYNC_THRESHOLD to 60 seconds? If you can, then please provide a sample file.
I confirm that after setting AV_NOSYNC_THRESHOLD 60.0, the problem goes away.
but A-V will not be sync-ed anymore after pressing 'a' during the playback process.
I put the sample here.
For the specific sample it is sufficient to set AV_NOSYNC_THRESHOLD to 11, we should probably commit this as a work-around.
The bigger problem that I see with the sample is that shen changing audio, ffplay automatically skips 10 seconds instead of continuing to play from the current position.
As a user, I do not expect ffplay make the decision on my behalf to skip 10s. What I tell it is just to change to another audio stream. But the work-around is acceptable if fixing the problem requires big change of the code.
I don't think it skips it by intention, it is just that there is probably a lot of audio data already demuxed and buffered for the enabled and in-use stream.
When switching to a different audio stream, demuxing of that will only be enabled at that point.
ffplay has now the two options of either continuing to play the old stream until it gets data from the new one (annoying and complex to implement) or just to drop the audio for the old one and start playing the new one even though the first data for that is several seconds in the future.
Cus's patch works for me. Thanks!
