Ape Camp's Photographers of Note
by Torrey Nelson
This is a list of photographers that have made a significant mark in history, society, and the world of media. Some are artists, some are photojournalists, but many are a big chunk of both. Many have expanded the envelope, others refined and improved the envelope, and still others were in the right place at the right time with camera in hand.
I created this list because of my interest in photography and the people involved in it. You can see examples of my photography in The Print Gallery, Photographs of Musicians, my All Star United page, my Tempest page, and throughout www.radbike.net. You can review my photography services at Torrey Nelson Productions.
This is an alphabetical list with a short description for each photographer. Links may be included for some photographers. In association with Amazon.com bookstore I have added links to various books by or about the photographers listed. Additions of more photographers will be made on a regular basis. If you would like to see a particular photographer added please send me e-mail. If you have corrections or additional information, such as links, just send e-mail. Please feel free to link your page to this page.

Federal Circuit Remands Issue of Enhanced Damages for Determination Whether this was an Egregious Case of Misconduct Beyond Typical Infringement
In WesternGeco LLC v. Ion Geophysical Corp., [2013-1527, 2014-1121, 2014-1526] (September 21, 2016), the Federal Circuit, on remand from the Supreme Court after Halo Electronics, Inc. v. Pulse Electronics, Inc., vacated the district court's judgment with respect to enhanced damages, but reinstated its earlier opinion and judgment in all other respects.
The district court found that WesternGeco prevailed on the subjective prong of the two-part In re Seagate test, but not the objective prong, and denied enhanced damages for willful infringement. The Supreme Court removed the objective prong in Halo, so the Federal Circuit vacated and remanded the case for the district court to address enhanced damages under the new standard set forth in Halo, giving district courts greater discretion in awarding enhanced damages in cases where the defendant's infringement was egregious, cases "typified by willful misconduct."
The Federal Circuit said that the principal problem the Supreme Court had with with Seagate's two-part test was that it requires a finding of objective recklessness in every case before district courts may award enhanced damages: "The subjective willfulness of a patent infringer, intentional or knowing, may warrant enhanced damages, without regard to whether his infringement was objectively reckless."
If willfulness is established, the question of enhanced damages must be left to the district court's discretion. However, nothing says that enhanced damages must follow a finding of egregious misconduct. As with any exercise of discretion, courts should continue to take into account the particular circumstances of each case in deciding whether to award damages, and in what amount. Section 284 permits district courts to exercise their discretion in a manner free from the inelastic constraints of the Seagate test.
The Federal Circuit said that after Halo, the objective reasonableness of the accused
infringer's positions can still be relevant for the district court to consider when exercising its discretion. The Federal Circuit noted that the Supreme Court itself has said that district courts should exercise their discretion, taking into account the particular circumstances of each case," and consider all relevant factors in determining whether to award enhanced damages.
The Federal Circuit said that on remand the district court must review the sufficiency of the evidence of willfulness as a predicate to any award of enhanced damages, mindful of Halo's replacement of Seagate's clear-and-convincing evidence standard with the "preponderance of the evidence standard." Then the district court must consider whether enhanced damages should be awarded, and specifically whether the infringement constituted an egregious case of misconduct beyond typical infringement meriting enhanced damages under § 284 and, if so, the appropriate extent of the enhancement.

Cottar's 1920s Camp & Bush Villa
Maasai Mara / Kenya
With a luxury aesthetic inspired by African safari expeditions 100 years ago, Cottar's 1920s Camp along with it's sister Bush Villa and the fly tented Conservation Camp have their own 7,608-acre private conservancy, while sitting just on the edge of the Maasai Mara – one of the continent's finest game reserves. Designed to accommodate a small number of visitors at any one time, it's remarkable how quiet this conservancy with such incredible wildlife-spotting opportunities can be. It has also won big awards for its cutting-edge sustainability and conservation work.
What to love
Sitting next to the Maasai Mara and the Tanzania Serengeti game reserve, the resort is incredibly positioned for game drives and bush walks. Professional guides with the highest qualifications in Africa are on-hand to accompany you on safari.
Cottar's Wildlife Conservation Trust has a mission is to make natural biodiversity the most valuable and productive land use option for rural landowners in Africa.
There is a willingness, a desire even, to show guests this beautiful wilderness and it's lovely people in a different way to many other operators and you should expect to genuinely miss the new friends that you will make at the conservancy.
The 1920's camp has nine tents: four double tents, four family suites, and one unique honeymoon tent. The five-bedroom bush villa with private pool can also be reserved and can accommodate up to 12 guests. The Conservation Camp has seven comfortable fly tents.
The Olderkesi Community Wildlife Conservancy is implementing a new model of conservation – demonstrating practices that could be replicated on a global level to empower local communities.
Unwind after a day exploring the savannah with a range of massage and spa treatments.
The Cottar family has a history with safari in Africa that goes back five generations, which not only gives this truly unique place its 1920s-styled heart, but it also means there's no better place to go for knowledge and insight into this remarkable part of the world.
The 7,608-acre private conservancy is watched over by the Olderkesi hills and looks across the wondrous savannah plains. It's a spot with an unparalleled vantage point when it comes to wildlife, particularly for the annual wildebeest migration pattern. With such proximity to Kenya's world-famous Maasai Mara reserve and Tanzania's Serengeti too, success rates for sightings of all the big five game are the best around. Cottar's also has the highest number of gold safari guides within one camp in Kenya. These are available to accompany guests on private game drives, night game drives and bush walks.
Over the years, the conservancy has actively engaged in preserving these crucial habitats as part of its award-winning conservation projects, securing the area from poachers while also keeping essential migration routes clear. It is also doing important work to support and maintain the traditions of the Maasai community, including numerous school, medical and water supply initiatives.
Cottar's 1920's camp prioritises style, comfort and privacy. Charming memorabilia from the area taps into the historic, cream-canvas tent aesthetic, while the amenities themselves are super-modern and luxe. The nearby Cottar's Bush Villa is a somewhat more modern affair. Designed and built by hand using indigenous and eco-friendly materials the villa offers the only real private luxury home in the Maasai Mara. Lastly, for those seeking to learn more about the conservation work being done in the conservancy, a simpler but comfortable fly tented Conservation Camp is also available.
The Maasai Mara is an excellent destination to visit year round. When to go will depend on your preferences. July to October offer the easiest game viewing period as the season is dry and the vegetation less dense. The great wildebeest migration usually unfolds in the Mara from August to early November. This is naturally a busy time of year so you may prefer April to June when the rains turn the landscape vibrant green or December to March when there is still very good experiences to be had.
The conservancy is located just 1km to the east of Maasai Mara Reserve and north of the Serengeti. Most guests will travel from Nairobi from where you can take short shuttle flights to Cottar's or Keekorok airstrips (10 mins/90 mins respectively from camp).

Mark dest as copies of sources; mark sources for deletion. If dest is a directory, copies are put in that directory. If dest is a file, there can only be one source.
By default, this command copies the contents of files as they exist in the working directory. If invoked with -A/--after, the operation is recorded, but no copying is performed.
This command takes effect at the next commit. To undo a rename before that, see "hg revert".

Q: appengine sees User as additional parameter I am using OAuth with my app-engine server. It's rather simple to do, simple add User as one of the parameters. But when I do I get the compile error

Multiple entity parameters. there can only be a single entity
  parameter per method...

@ApiMethod(path = "updateDocument", name = "updateDocument", httpMethod = ApiMethod.HttpMethod.POST)
public void updateDocument(User user, MyDocument input){
  ...
}

It works fine for the methods of the form
public MyBean sayHiUser(@Named("name") String name, User user)

It just doesn't work when I have custom objects like MyDocument.

A: I have the feeling your User is not of type import com.google.appengine.api.users.User.
The documentation states that "there can only be a single entity parameter per method" (see https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/endpoints/parameter-and-return-types).
However "Any type except a parameter or injected type is considered an entity type" and com.google.appengine.api.users.User is of type "injected": so you should not have any problem normally, unless your User is not of this type.
Personaly I have methods like
public Customer insert(final User user, Customer customer, ...

which work perfectly well

The announcement makes it the third time the Brit has split from a coach in as many years.
British No.1 Johanna Konta is on the search for a new coach after ending her collaboration with American trainer Michael Joyce.
The 27-year-old appointed Joyce to her team last December after parting ways with Wim Fissette. Joyce is a former player who reached the fourth round of the 1995 Wimbledon Championships. He has previously coached Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka prior to Konta.
"I feel that we are clear on my game, and we're putting in the work to try to make me the best player that I can be, for sure. Whether the results will come now or in a few months or whether they don't, I don't know. But it's definitely not for a lack of trying." Konta said about her work with Joyce during the US Open.
Since reaching the final of the Birmingham International in June, Konta has experienced a series of disappointing results on the tour. She has failed to win back-to-back matches at six consecutive tournaments with her latest loss being to Julia Goerges at the China Open. So far this season, Konta has managed to defeat three top 20 players. Jelena Ostapenko (Montreal), Magdalena Rybarikova (Rome and Madrid) and Madison Keys (Brisbane).
As a result of her recent results, the Brit is currently ranked 45th in the world. Should she fall any further, Konta risk ending the season outside of the world's top 50 for the first time since 2014. Last year she finished at a career-best ninth in the world.
The former world No.4 is set to play one more tournament before she ends her season. Next week she will travel to Moscow to play in the Kremlin Cup. A tournament that is set to feature seven players currently ranked in the top 20. The field will be headed by world No.1 Simona Halep.
Konta is yet to make a formal statement concerning the departure of Joyce from her team.


The port itself is known as a LocalTalk. It speaks a variant of RS422 (ie it's differential transmission). Here's a pinout of the port, relative to the DCE. It uses a mini DIN-8 plug.
Keep in mind that if you're relying the pin purposes to work out which lines you need to send or receive data on, don't forget they are relative to the DCE ('modem' side). Don't do what I did and forget to swap connect TxD to RxD (and vice versa), and instead have the two devices literally shouting at each other and listening to silence.
To take an example, and for my own future reference since I kept making this mistake during development; the DCE's HSKo pin 1 will connect to the DTE's (Mac's) HSKi.
If you're simply making a cable, you shouldn't need to (mentally or physically) swap anything!
Confusingly, Apple also has a thing called a GeoPort connector. The pinout is the same as LocalTalk, but with the addition of an extra pin (pin 9; +5V power rail). Since it has an extra pin, it uses a mini DIN-9 plug. This means at a hardware protocol level, if it can speak GeoPort, it can speak LocalTalk (but not vice versa).
GeoPort also defines a specific purpose for pin 7, which is used for wakeup/DMA request. Under LocalTalk, the pin's purpose is defined by a combination of the connected hardware, and the software connecting to the serial port.
AppleTalk is just a protocol on top of LocalTalk to provide networking features. Its name is here to confuse you. Ethernet has long replaced it.
The function of HSKi/HSKo/GPIO can be switched depending on the register values inside the SCC (see datasheet), and the software using the serial port.
This is useful if you want to connect it directly to RS422. In this mode, HSKo/HSKi are switched to DTR/CTS mode, and GPI is treated as Carrier Detect.
We can also use RS232 if we only ever talk on the negative side of the differential communication link.
There are details on how build adapter cables on the internet. You can also take a look at Apple Peripheral Interface Guide (March 1989).
There used to be a published Apple note that also contained this information, but I can't seem to find it any more. They seem to be scrubbing all this useful old information off their website.
The key was working out which pins did what on the connector. Don't ask me how I got this.
This one's called the Dash II, according to this specific version of it, but is sometimes generically referred to MicroDash (which, confusingly, can have a different pinout). Note that there are some modem-specific pins we leave unconnected (as they are on other modem-serial adapters).
If you look at the Microdash connector pinout, you can see the Mac side is basically RS232 with the extra clocking pins and GPIO pin that's on the Zilog SCC UART controller. Interestingly, all the newer PowerMacs seem to have the Zilog controller as an IP core inside one of their south-bridge ASIC, rather than as a separate chip). For the ASIC implementation, these appear to speak at or around TTL level (don't quote me on that, though).
On the device side, we have essentially RS422 with some extra pins (which are not differential). So, really, what we're trying to do here is make an RS232/ RS422 adapter!
How does the Stealth Port do it? It uses only a single IC — the DS8925 (datasheet) — and some filtering capacitors. The DS8925 is a "single chip" GeoPort transceiver IC from National Semiconductor (now Texas Instruments). Unfortunately, it's is an obsolete part, so I can't just build an exact replacement circuit.
The Jamport doesn't any of those ICs; it uses individual RS422 drivers and receivers. The reason was, I think, because in bulk the single-chip solution cost more than the cost of individually buying the driver/receivers. I also wasn't sure about their future life cycle status — yes, they're listed as Active, but realistically, how many people need RS422 drivers compared to GeoPort transceivers? I would presume RS422 would be used in many more applications.
On the Jamport, the driver and receiver are basically are wired up per the "Typical Application Information" diagram on page 7 of the DS8925 datasheet.
From what I can see, both manufacturer's OS X driver is simply a compiled version of Apple's AppleSCCSerial module, with their own licenses slapped onto it.
Apple provides the source code tarballs to this driver through their Apple Open Source programme. There is an unofficial Github mirror here if that's useful.
Similarly, I suspect the OS 9 drivers are just Apple's serial debug drivers. However, I don't know where the source comes from, so I can't compile my own versions and provide those.
Position count is the total number of pins. Thus, say we have a 20-pin, 2 row connector. Then there are 2x10 pins total pins.
Dash? 2x35 = 70 Yes iMac G3, Power Mac G3, Power Mac G4 (PCI Graphics) Don't know pinout yet, but guessing pins 1-14 are the same?
Hand-soldering the fine pitch connector was a pain. I made a breakout adapter board for my own sanity.
Testing the Jamport with an Opcode Studio 4.
Probing the output pins to make sure I hadn't switched TxD and RxD (again).

Facebook removes Michelle Malkin's post featuring Laura Loomer and Gavin McInnes for supposedly violating its community standards
Facebook now seems to be actively prohibiting mentioning or posting images of banned individuals.
By Tom Parker
Conservative columnist and author Michelle Malkin has had one of her posts censored by Facebook for supposedly violating its community guidelines and, as always, Facebook has failed to provide a specific example of how the post broke its rules.
It seems to have been taken down because it featured photos of two people who have been banned from Facebook – independent journalist Laura Loomer and political commentator Gavin McInnes. Facebook has already said that it bans people for associating with individuals that are banned from its platforms and now it appears to be further tightening the rules and making posting photos of banned figures a crime.
Malkin posted the photos featuring her, Loomer, and McInnes to Facebook and Instagram on the same day Loomer and other high profile figures were banned from both platforms. Here's her original post:
Source: Twitter- @michellemalkin
It reads:
"These are two of my friends, Laura Loomer and Gavin McInnes. They are banned from Instagram and Facebook for exercising their free speech—while violent jihad groups are allowed on these platforms to spread their murderous poison. I spoke out passionately about de-platforming at CPAC and have done what I can to use my voice to speak for the voiceless. Laura and Gavin are suing the radical forces (SPLC and CAIR) behind the insidious agenda to criminalize political dissent. I have donated to their causes and I hope you will, too (DefendGavin.com and LauraLoomer.us). I do not know how much longer it will be before I am next. Anyone and everyone who refuses to capitulate to the open-borders, sharia-enforcing social justice agenda is "DANGEROUS."
And here's the notice Malkin received from Facebook when the post was taken down:
"We Removed Something You Posted
It looks like something you posted doesn't follow our Community Standards."
To make matters worse, Malkin says that after her post was censored, Facebook asked her to buy a boost in order to spread the news about her post being removed:
When Facebook banned Loomer and the other figures, it said that interacting with Gavin McInnes was one of the reasons they were banned. This set a new precedent of Facebook banning people based on who they associate with.
Now it seems that Facebook is stepping up its restrictions on what you can and can't post to the platform by prohibiting the posting of photos that feature people who have been previously banned.


This presentation describes experiments that examine interesting and relatively unusual combustion configurations that broaden the typical considerations of maximizing efficiency, minimizing harmful emissions, and reducing the threat of fire destruction. This presentation covers three topics: (1) Hydrocarbon flames have long been known to contain naturally a small quantity of charged species that allow them to act as weak plasmas. Experiments with flames in the microgravity environment of the International Space show how electric fields can affect flames, including changing their shape and direction, their sooting behavior, and their stable burning limits. (2) Methane hydrates are ice-like crystalline solids that encapsulate methane, and under appropriate conditions can burn steadily. As the water evaporates during the hydrate burn, it creates a watery-fuel diffusion flame. (3) Hot air ballooning is an evocative recreational adventure, and at the heart of hot air ballooning is a naturally aspirated propane combustor that must intermittently and reliably deliver megawatts of thermal power into the balloon envelope. The broader significance of each of these examples is explored, and they all demonstrate the rich multi-physics environment that arises when combustion is involved.
Derek Dunn-Rankin is Professor and current Chair in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). Dr. Dunn-Rankin's research is in combustion and energy, droplet and sprays, and applications of laser diagnostic techniques to practical engineering systems.

At the feet of Socrates! Know thyself!
Posted on July 21, 2017 by V.Isvarmurti
Nothing in excess! Man is the measure of things!
Three Greek ideals!
These are the lessons the momentous, historic visit once again brought home to us. A lesson I sought to learn more than half a century and yet only what I missed by chance so many years ago, in 1959-61 when I was at Oxford, I was able to fulfill only now!
Thanks to many favorable circumstances this visit, this July, was fulfilled only this time!
What once I thought, it was possible for some few pounds; say ten or fifteen bucks, as they say; now it cost a fortune! But what a historic perspective in which this opportunity came about!
So, the readers have to bear with some, preliminary reflections on what is raging inside my mind and intellect to get some momentum to come to the actual first-hand experience of our Greek encounter!
It is no exaggeration to say this. We, Indians are not known for our historic sense at all.
We have not had any such great history. All we have a certain type of Orientalist fantasies only. Even the British colonisation played role to dim our historic views. The learned classes in India believed the colonizers' perspectives only. But the British ruling class, from the 17th century onwards, more so in the 18th and 19th centuries sought to appropriate the legacies of Greek and Roman civilizations and it is long history of learning and loot. The much sought after treasures, the incomparable sculptures, the priceless marbles, like the Elgin marbles and other such treasures had been stolen blatantly and the European museums and art galleries are full of the looted antiquities.
Along with the loot came the much sought after Grand Tours, the British ruling class appropriated for themselves in terms of education, culture and exposure to the world of high culture and the art of ruling. So, our visit from India, to classical Greece and Rome can be seen and I like to see as a historic turn to a hopefully new awakening of sorts. I invite readers to see our experience and arguments in this wider perspective.
Yes, it was a dream of more than a half century! The dream of visiting Greece and seeing the historic sites, the soil on which Socrates (469-399 BC), the first great thinker of the classical world walked! Yes, we did tread on his divine feet! The ancient Agora, the original 2,500 era market and public place where the ancient Athenians used to congragate, for both day-to-day affairs and also as a government to sit in this house. That structure had gone."Where is the prison?"When I asked this question I noticed headquarters! The very soil is intact even now! Just the other side lies the Roman Agora, which the Romans occupied Greece and ruled as one of Roman provinces. The old Agora was the place where the first flowering of the idea of democracy originated. The very structure, a raised round platform still stands where the council of thirty, the cabinet met and deliberated. Many of the surviving structures are, we are told, functioned as governing offices, judiciary, treasure and even prison, also the portion where Socrates drank the poison and willingly died.
Why did he die? Where is the very spot? We asked the woman guide?"Yes, sir, it is here!"She replied matter of factly. She also showed a name board:"Simon's House. Simon was Socrates' close friend. Socrates used another person and young lady of course well-educated suiting not far from the place. I beckoned her. She came forward and told us that she is a staff of the American School of Classical Studies, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation that is carrying out the archeological investigations. There were the clay cups that were lying in the spot where other prisoners too might have been killed by serving poison in similar cups. So, the learned archeologist explained to us how the science of archeology reaches conclusions by such reasoning. Athens has had a very long history. It faced many invasions from the Persians. Modern Greece too faced many occupasions. The last was Ottoman occupation. Only in the 19th century Greece became independent. Modern Greece is a poor copy of the classical Greece, of course!
We visited Greece for a family holdiay, five members and for ten days! So we now know each nook and corner of the Athens city! I consider our visit historic! For some very historic reasons. I have to put the question in some broad and long historic context. Also when I look at the timing of the happening, from what I see from the future evolution of the India we are going to create as a great democracy and a great nation. Let us look back and also at the vision for India. By way of values of governance, institutions the values of a mass democracy, various freedoms of the citizens, the direct democracy practiced by the ancient Athenians!
The great general and statesman, Pericles (495-429 BC) said at the funeral speech at the end of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC) education for the world. Our government is not of the few but of the many. That speech must be taught in all our schools. Let us connect with the march of civilization. My mind wandered, far and wide as I lost in my reflections. Why? Modern India, the first seventy years of India's freedom, brought Indians many freedoms. But in my opinion the most cherishable freedom of awakening, an awakening of the civilization values, the modern ways of thinking, the many strands of new knowledge, philosophy, science and much of the other sources of knowledge, months, astronomy and medicine, to mention just a few sources, were all the contributions of Greece, right?
But then this awakening couldn't come to India owing to, again in my opinion, to the sort of education that came to India much later to the British education, the contribution of Macaulay who decreed that Indians are good only for a clerical education. So, the original contributions of Greece and Rome remained confined only to the British youngsters. The cream of the ICS fraternity remained only with the British cadre. The so-called Bengal Renaissance with all its brilliance also remained in my view only confined to the British contributions. What we lost I like to get connected with the great civilization links.
Our education must incorporate the best of the Greek and the Roman contributions to mankind. Teach courage, moral strength and politics that are truly democratic and teach citizens all the practicalities of the Greek citizenship ideals. How the Greeks had that strength to raise the Parthenon (447BC) the acropolis, the giant pure white marbles? It is so staggering and so majestic. It rises on the acropolis hill and shines in such lighting overlooking the city of Athens down below!
Words fail to recreate the emotional outburst first-timers have to climb and struggle to stand up and raise our eyes! To fully describe is impossible. On a vast hill space of two and half hectare spread three temples stand for the past 2,500 years.
So, we have to initiate a big vision for India, Indian thought processes. The many names that we would narrate later and they are too many in all branches of knowledge and practical affairs, in Greek ideal, you as an individual are both a thinker and a practical man; Socrates had participated in a war! Classical Greece in all its full bloom arises before us. That is a priceless gift to mankind!

The quickest and best way to enhance your visibility on social media and connect with your target market is to first reach out to a powerful social media influencer. You can then piggy-back your way to success and can also transform the influencer into your brand ambassador.
Your first line of action will be to look out for a social media influencer that is connected with your industry, your products or services, and your target audience. The influencer should have a large fan following and should be a respected voice in your industry. You can opt for a controversial influencer that can ignite passionate tweets and shares all over the social media scene, but only after ensuring that it does not adversely harm your business or your reputation.
If you personally know the particular influencer, you can use that to your advantage. But even if you do not know that influencer, you can still reach out to them by posting positive comments on their posts as well as sharing them with others. You can also begin sharing ideas with that person so as to develop a relationship with them, before giving them an idea of creating personalized content especially for them that they could then share with their fans.
If a particular influencer refuses your offer, you merely need to move on to another influencer without feeling dejected. Once you locate a social influencer that likes your idea then you can begin working on creating content that will be happily shared by that influencer with his or her followers. This content should be created keeping in mind the creative tastes of your influencer and their fans too.
Once you have created eye-pleasing and thought-provoking content that you feel will be liked and shared by your influencer, you need to send it exclusively to him or her and hope that your influencer posts and shares it with all fans and followers. Your SEO team needs to ensure that the content and links not only garner interest from followers of your influencer, but also achieve enhanced authority in the process.
The fact that your influencer starts sharing your content with fans and followers will turn them into a brand ambassador for your products and services. This can turn into a win-win situation for all involved since you can add value to your influencer's blog with high-quality and related content while you get instant access to their large number of followers even as your influencer gets a lot of good content for free.
Lastly, you need to measure the success of your efforts by using a wide range of tools and sources such as Google Webmaster Tools, Moz, Majestic, etc. The resultant data will help you measure success as well as make suitable changes to enhance your social media strategy.
You should certainly try out the above strategy since the worst that can happen in your search for a good social media influencer is a negative reply from a few of them. However, the rewards can be huge and can be enjoyed within a very short time.


When you have teeth in the back of the mouth, it serves 2 functions: to help chew food and also keeps the maxillary sinus from pnumatizing or coming down. When teeth have been missing for a long period of time, bone has a tendency of resorbing or disappearing.Furthermore, the maxillary sinus pnumatizes, or keeps coming down, causing less bone in the area. Remember, sinus are air filled cavity and implants have to be surrounded by bone all around. If there is not enough bone to place an implant, then a sinus elevation is required.
Pending on the amount of bone you have, there are two types of sinus elevation- osteotome sinus elevation and a lateral window sinus elevation. Osteotome sinus elevation is done at the same time of the implant. We numb you up the same way you would get a filling. Before the implant is placed, we gently bump up the area and add bone graft. Within a few minutes, the implants are placed the same day. You go to work the same day with minimal discomfort. Lateral window sinus elevation is done when there is not enough bone to place the implant at that time. We numb you up the same way you would get a filling. We gently elevate the sinus with bone grafting and the area has to heal for a few months. After a period of healing, implants would then be placed in the area.
Either procedure, there is no harm or changes in the sinus. The amount that we are elevating is miniscule compared to the amount of cubic volume in the sinus. Half of all implants placed in the back of the mouth requires some sort of sinus elevation.

The University will also accept a request from a legally authorized family member, health care provider, or other representative who is legally authorized to make such requests on behalf of an individual with a disability.
Applicants or Employees should complete the Disability Accommodation Request Form for Applicants or Disability Accommodation Request for Employees form and submit it to IDEAA. The form asks for information on the medical condition, the requested accommodation, how the accommodation will assist the individual in performing the essential functions of the job, and the anticipated duration of the requested accommodation. Verbal requests for accommodation are also acceptable. If a supervisor, academic representative or HR representative receives a verbal or written request for accommodation, he or she must contact IDEAA.
IDEAA may require an applicant or an employee to submit medical documentation from an employee's doctor or health care provider in support of the request. The Accommodation Request Form also includes a release which, if signed, authorizes IDEAA to contact the health care provider directly and obtain necessary medical information related to the request. If an employee does not sign the release, then it is the responsibility of the employee to obtain the necessary information from the health care provider.
Once an applicant or employee has requested an accommodation, the University will engage the employee in a dialogue known as "the interactive process" to determine what accommodation, if any, is appropriate. No specific form of accommodation is guaranteed for all individuals with a particular disability. Rather, an accommodation must be tailored to match the needs of the individual with the disability with the needs of the job's essential functions.
In some situations, the University may request the applicant or employee undergo an Independent Medical Evaluation ("IME") at the University's expense, if the employee and health care provider are unable to provide sufficient medical information in support of the accommodation request. The IME will be limited to determining the existence of a disability and/or the functional limitations that require a reasonable accommodation. When an IME is warranted and the employee fails to participate, it could result in a denial of a reasonable accommodation.
As part of the interactive process, IDEAA may contact the appropriate departmental official for the purposes of discussing possible accommodations. No medical information is shared or released to the department. Medical information is confidentially housed within IDEAA and is not to be included in employment/departmental files. Limited information may be shared with managers if necessary in order to arrange for necessary accommodations, but only with the knowledge and agreement of the individual requesting the accommodation.
In making this determination, IDEAA, in conjunction with the appropriate departmental supervisor or official, may consider a number of relevant factors, including:
The nature and duration of the requested accommodation.
The impact of the requested accommodation on the performance of the employee's essential functions or core work-related duties.
The financial impact of the requested accommodation.
The impact of the requested accommodation on other employees, students, or university operations. Note that this may include consideration of seniority within the same unit or department.
Any alternative accommodations.
Once an accommodation has been deemed appropriate and reasonable, both the employee and the departmental representative are notified and an accommodation work plan is implemented for the duration specified. The work plan is monitored by IDEAA and reviewed on occasion to ensure the accommodation enables the employee to complete the necessary work tasks and to ensure effectiveness.
If an accommodation is deemed appropriate and reasonable for an employee, then the department bears the responsibility for funding the accommodation.
Modifications to the work plan can be made if the health conditions change and/or the nature of the work performance/duties changes.
IDEAA must be contacted to re-engage the interactive process.
If no reasonable accommodation can be made, the employee is notified in writing.

Frequency and prognostic significance of secondary ventricular fibrillation complicating acute myocardial infarction. SPRINT Study Group

DOI: 10.1016/0002-9149(93)90730-z
The incidence of secondary ventricular fibrillation (VF) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was 2.4% in a large cohort of unselected patients with AMI (142 of 5,839). Secondary VF was more frequent in patients with recurrent AMI (4%) than in those with a first AMI (1.9%) (p < 0.01). The hospital course was more complicated and in-hospital mortality was significantly higher in patients with secondary VF than in those with the same clinical hemodynamic condition but without VF (56 vs 16%; p < 0.0001). Multivariate analyses confirmed secondary VF complicating AMI as an independent predictor of high in-hospital mortality, with an odds ratio of 7 (95% confidence interval 4.6-10.6). However, long-term mortality after discharge (mean follow-up 5.5 years) was not increased in patients with as compared with those without secondary VF (39 vs 42%). These findings were also true when patients receiving beta blockers and antiarrhythmic therapy were excluded from analysis. Thus, this life-threatening arrhythmia occurring during hospitalization is not a marker of recurrent susceptibility to VF or an indicator of increased mortality after discharge from the hospital.
