Vienna ( i/viˈɛnə/;German: Wien, pronounced [viːn]) is the capital and largest city of Austria, and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primary city, with a population of about 1.8 million (2.6 million within the metropolitan area, nearly one third of Austria's population), and its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 7th-largest city by population within city limits in the European Union. Until the beginning of the 20th century it was the largest German-speaking city in the world, and before the splitting of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in World War I the city had 2 million inhabitants. Today it has the second largest number of German speakers after Berlin. Vienna is host to many major international organizations, including the United Nations and OPEC. The city lies in the east of Austria and is close to the borders of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary. These regions work together in a European Centrope border region. Along with nearby Bratislava, Vienna forms a metropolitan region with 3 million inhabitants. In 2001, the city centre was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Arcadia or Arcadia Aegypti was a Late Roman province in northern Egypt.
It was created between 386 and ca. 395 out of the province of Augustamnica and named for the reigning Byzantine emperor, Arcadius (395 to 408).
The province comprised most of the historical region known as "Heptanomis" ("Seven Nomes"), except for Hermopolis, which belonged to the Thebaid.
In the Notitia Dignitatum, Arcadia forms one of six provinces of the Diocese of Egypt, under a governor with the low rank of praeses.

Arcadia is a collectible card game involving combat and terrain, created in 1996 by White Wolf, Inc. and based around the world of the fae, who are changelings that draw on the dreams of humans. Quests, delineated and represented by cards, are completed by cards similarly representing Characters moving from one Terrain card to an adjacent one until the Quest is completed. The game was discontinued after the base set (subtitled The Wyld Hunt) and a single expansion set (King Ironheart's Madness).
Card types and gameplay
Each player chooses objectives, or quests, and plays upon the table Character cards that, together with modifying cards, move from one Terrain card to the next. Each player may play Waylay cards to thwart their opponents or opponents' progress through the terrain.
Arcadia has no starter packs; playing requires only one character booster pack and one story booster pack for each player, and two dice. Each booster pack includes a rulebook; dice were sold alongside the game.

Arcadia is a completed at-grade light rail station in the Los Angeles County Metro Rail system located at the intersection of 1st Avenue and Santa Clara Street in Arcadia, California. When it re-opens, this station will be served by the Metro Gold Line.
This station is currently approved for design/construction as part of the Gold Line Foothill Extension project Phase 2A. It will open on March 5, 2016. A overpass bridge was constructed over Santa Anita Ave, as so the Gold Line rail should not slow traffic on the Santa Anita double drive.
Former station
Former bridge
In Arcadia, in the past, there was a steel railroad bridge that transitioned the old Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway in between the I-210 to street grade. This bridge, located between Baldwin and Santa Anita, was removed by Caltrans, which deemed the structure unsafe following the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The Phase 2A project constructed a new, fully functioning light rail bridge, known as the "Iconic Freeway Structure or Gold Line Bridge" (IFS), as the bridge's replacement. The bridge, designed by Minnesota artist Andrew Leicester, was unveiled in December 2012. Leicester's design was chosen from 17 others in a competitive process. The artist worked with L.A. design consultant AECOM as well as the bridge's builder, Skanska USA, on the final design and construction. The woven-basket look of the bridge's support columns emulate the famed woven baskets of the native Chumash people of the San Gabriel Valley while the underbelly of the bridge is supposed to evoke a Western diamondback rattlesnake.

Did Henry Cooper do the Brut advert?
For blokes in the 1970s and 80s, there was something wrong if they didn't go for a night out stinking of Brut. The aftershave's most famous endorser was ever-popular British boxing champion Henry Cooper who appeared on TV adverts advising males of the time to "splash it all over".
Who did the Brut 33 advert?
Meanwhile Brut 33 spokesmen Henry Cooper, Barry Sheene and (dreamboat) Kevin Keegan urged men to "splash it all over". The ad showed Cooper and Keegan in a gymnasium.
Did Barry Sheene advertise Brut?
Probably the first motorcycle racer to take full advantage of his own 'marketability', Barry Sheene will always be remembered for his association with Faberge's Brut 33 aftershave.
Who is the actor in the Brut advert?
Soccer player-turned-movie tough guy Vinnie Jones plays on his East End geezer image in a new campaign for Unilever men's fragrance Brut.
When was Brut aftershave invented?
BRUT was first launched in 1964. However, in 1973 the more familiar BRUT 33 was launched as everyday cologne. BRUT products range from Aftershave, Eau de Toilette, Deodorant, Anti-perspirant, Shower gel and Gifting. The brand has continued to develop new fragrances that go on to become a must for men across Britain.
Who Advertised Old Spice aftershave?
Actor Isaiah Mustafa, who gained sudden fame when he was cast as the brooding, half-naked Old Spice man in their 2010 commercial, has been replaced by a character known as Mr Wolfdog, whose 'official' title is Executive Director of Marketing. In a series of new viral adverts available on the brand's YouTube channel.
Is Henry Cooper alive?
May 1, 2011Henry Cooper / Date of death
Who makes Brut cologne?
Brut (French pronunciation: [bʁyt]) is a brand name for a line of men's grooming and fragrance products. It was launched in 1964 by the American firm Fabergé and has been owned since 1989 by the British multinational company Unilever.
Is Brut coming back?
Unilever brings back Brut with best-use-of-Vinnie Jones award contender. Readers with long memories – or surviving relatives – may recall the archetypal 1970s "Great Smell of Brut" fronted by Kevin Keegan and boxer Henry Cooper. Made by an American company cheekily called Faberge as I recall.
Do they still make Brut 33?
Fabergé discontinued the Brut 33 label, but kept the formula and swapped out the original cologne for the lighter "splash-on," presumably thinking no one would notice. Few did. Brut 33, now simply called Brut, continued to sell just fine, as it does today.
What does Brut 33 smell like?
Brut was launched in 1968. The nose behind this fragrance is Karl Mann. Top notes are Anise, Lavender, Basil, Bergamot and Lemon; middle notes are Geranium, Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine; base notes are Oakmoss, Vetiver, Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Vanilla and Sandalwood.
Can you sue Old Spice for burns?
Attorneys are now interested in talking to persons who developed a rash, chemical burn, or similar condition after using Old Spice deodorant. Such persons may be eligible to join the Old Spice lawsuit with a legal claim of their own.

More parents plan to get flu shot for kids this fall
Aug 13, 2020 | For more information, contact Kerry Blackadar
COVID-19 concerns may be motivating factor
New research from University of British Columbia researchers suggests the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may drive more parents to immunize their children against the upcoming seasonal influenza strain.
The study, recently published in the Journal of Pediatrics, surveyed nearly 3,000 families from Canada, Israel, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the United States who visited 17 different emergency departments between mid-March to the end of June. Families were asked how COVID-19 has influenced their willingness to vaccinate their children in preparation for the flu season.
Dr. Ran Goldman
More than half (54 per cent) of parents surveyed globally plan to vaccinate their children against the flu this year—an increase of nearly 16 per cent from last year. Among parents who did not vaccinate their children last year, more than a quarter (nearly 29 per cent) plan to vaccinate for the upcoming season.
"Public health officials worldwide are concerned about the potential harmful combination of the COVID-19 infection with influenza in the upcoming season, and immunizing children will be critical in protecting both children and adults against those viral infections," says the study's lead author Dr. Ran Goldman, professor in the UBC faculty of medicine's department of pediatrics.
The research team, comprised of scientists from Canada, the United States, Europe and Japan, found that, among families who did not vaccinate last year, the level of concern that their child may have COVID-19 at the time of the emergency department visit was an important motivator for immunizing their children against the flu this year.
Overall, parents were more likely to plan to immunize their children if they were worried about the child having COVID-19, if their child was up-to-date on their vaccines other than influenza, and if the parent received the flu vaccine last year.
"Understanding parents' plans for the upcoming influenza season will help us respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and future public health needs," says Goldman.
This study is part of a broader examination by Goldman to explore parents' concerns, thoughts, and actions related to the health and wellbeing of their children during COVID-19.

Catching up #6
Peter Terzian, boyfriend of Steamboats Are Ruining Everything, reviews The Age Of Wonder, Richard Holmes's account of the British scientists of the Romantic era, for The National (Abu Dhabi), 20 November 2008:
What patterns could be found in the shifting night skies? What did it look like on the other side of the world, and who lived there? Could man find a way to fly? Could the dead be brought back to life? What was life, anyway? These were imaginative as well as empirical questions. To solve them required inspiration and originality, the traits celebrated by Romantic writers and thinkers. The Romantic scientists bridled at the "purely mechanistic universe" described by Newtonian physics. Like their poetic counterparts, they believed in an "infinite, mysterious Nature."
Keith Gessen assesses Edward Said and Alexandr Solzhenitsyn for Bookforum:
Both came from cultures that had been violently uprooted and dislocated; both were exiled, their lives threatened; both found refuge eventually in the United States—and became outspoken critics of this country. Both fought the regimes they opposed with words and the application of counternarrative. Both wrote famous accusatory tomes—Orientalism (1978), The Gulag Archipelago (1973)—that, through the sheer accrual of evidence, fundamentally altered the worlds they described.
Most interesting of all, both lived to see their political projects succeed to a degree they could never have anticipated. The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991; Israel acknowledged the existence of the Palestinian people, and their right to a state, in the 1993 Oslo Accords. And both writers were, immediately and thoroughly, critical of what had once seemed their fondest wishes: While the West celebrated the Yeltsin regime, Solzhenitsyn warned that it was in irresponsible free fall; at almost the same moment, Said denounced Oslo as "a Palestinian Versailles." Both, sadly, were right.
In the forthcoming n+1, Wesley Yang subjects the average frustrated chump to a cost/benefit analysis:
The players of the Game made explicit the workings of a new sexual economy, one that was always implicit in the old, but was mediated by illusions that, it turns out, did more than merely obscure. We had disaggregated community, love, sex, and the family to allow a new protocol of maximum efficiency to establish itself.
Interviewed by the Tisch Film Review, A. S. Hamrah condemns contemporary film criticism:
To blame the Internet for editors' and publishers' lack of imagination isn't fair. It's only half the story. If magazines and newspapers were publishing writers worth reading, and who were writing original and unexpected things, and giving them enough space to do it, people would read them. Instead, they publish toadies.

Hmmmm, I am glad from a style-sheet perspective that Peter is not Mr. Steamboats, or (worse!) Mr. SARE!
Indeed. "Mr. Steamboats" sounds like a character from the world of Thomas the Tank Engine.

My group works on the evolution and ecology of plant-insect interactions, with special focus on pollination ecology and insect herbivory. We use a variety of approaches including field and lab experiments, chemical analysis of plant secretions, and comparative ecology. In particular, we have attempted to gain a long-term (macroevolutionary) perspective on plant-insect (co-)evolution by conducting phylogeny-based studies of the evolution of traits and of pollination relationships. This involves integrating ecological field studies with phylogenies estimated from morphological and molecular data. We also work on quantitative genetics and development of floral traits involved in attracting, rewarding, and manipulating pollinators.
Our arctic/subarctic research program has focused primarily on the effects of local variation in microclimate on the composition and function of plant and insect communities. For example, the flora, insect fauna, and pollination ecology is often completely different on nearby hill slopes that face north vs. south. This research includes understanding insect thermal ecology, weather effects on pollination, and latitudinal patterns in beta-diversity (species turnover across microhabitats). We have related interests in Beringian paleoenvironments, and the distribution, ecology, and phylogeography of Beringian plants and insects.
Another research program, in collaboration with Bruce Baldwin (UC Berkeley), Christa Mulder (UAF), and Susan Kalisz (University of Pittsburgh), examines the evolution of plant mating systems and such floral traits as corolla size, pollen/ovule ratio, and timing of self pollination, in a molecular phylogenetic context. We are employing the sister genera Collinsia and Tonella (Scrophulariaceae) as our study system. Preliminary data suggest that mating-system evolution in this group has been driven at least partly by pollinator dependability, as influenced by the weather during the flowering season.
Our research on the above topics has been conducted in Alaska, Yukon Territory, the Russian Far East, California, Norway, and Svalbard. Research on plant-insect interactions has also taken us to Madagascar and various parts of Africa, South America, and Meso-America. Our work in the tropics has recently expanded from studies of plants and insects to an ongoing conservation-biology project examining the biological consequences and social causes of tropical-forest fragmentation.

WHAT: The Political Art and the Public Sphere (PAPS) series presents a screening of the film Life & Debt, which will be followed by a group discussion.
WHEN: Monday, February 20, 2012 at 6 p.m.
DETAILS: Life & Debt tells the stories of individual Jamaicans whose day-to-day existence is profoundly impacted by U.S. and other foreign economic agendas. Combining traditional documentary with a narrative framework, this film explores the complexity of international lending, structural adjustment policies, and free trade policies. Life & Debt clarifies the impact that economic policies have on the lives of the people they are said to benefit. And this film is not only about Jamaica, where these policies have been in effect for nearly twenty-five years. Life & Debt critically reviews the policies most often associated with "globalization," which impact the lives of everyday people in Haiti, Russia, throughout Africa, and in many other countries around the world.
The PAPS series is a monthly event on the UIS campus featuring a showing or a performance of some kind of "political art," followed by an hour or two of group discussion. The discussion is hosted by Dr. Richard Gilman-Opalsky, professor of Political Philosophy and Dr. Heather Dell, associate professor and chair of Women and Gender Studies at UIS.
Each of the installments in the spring 2012 series will explores the meanings and impacts of the phenomenon called "globalization," highlighting its history and problems, as well as what everyday people have done to confront its ill-effects. All events are free and open to the public.
For more information contact Dr. Gilman-Opalsky at 217/206-8328 or email rgilm3@uis.edu.

Vladivostok welcomes 2013 Universiade flame on Russian soil
Lighting the flame of the Kazan 2013 Summer Universiade in the Russian city of Vladivostok (RIA Novosti / Alexandr Kryazhev) © RIA Novosti
The flame that will light the 27th Universiade or World Student Games in Kazan this summer has landed in the Far Eastern city of Vladivostok ahead of National Students' Day, before beginning its journey across Russia's nine time zones.
The torch for the Kazan 2013 Universiade was lit on July 12 in Paris – the city that hosted the first World Student Games, in 1923.It then began a round-the-world journey on the Russian sailing ship Sedov around the five continents. Severe storms in the Pacific Ocean delayed the ship's arrival in Vladivostok, so a special lantern transported the flame, by air, from the South Korean city of Pusan."The flame has finally arrived in Russia – and it's a big event for us," Kazan Mayor Ilsur Metshin said. "It's made a long trip, and let this fire light up the enthusiasm for sport for everybody around the country."Vladivostok is the city in Russia where the next leg of the relay kicks-off. Travelling from east to west – from January to July – the torchbearers will carry the flame through all of Russia's student cities.The captain of Kazan's ice hockey side Ak Bars, Alexey Morozov, was the first runner to start the relay from the Far Eastern Federal University on Russky Island – 6.500 kilometers from Moscow.Despite temperatures as low as minus 20 Celsius, with strong winds 35-year-old Morozov didn't feel the cold."I enjoyed taking part in it," he told RT. "Hopefully; this torch relay will be remembered for a long time. I was really touched by it."It's hoped that up-and-coming athletes will be inspired by this event and, for some students; the Universiade could be a stepping stone towards professional sport.January 25 is Students' Day in Russia, also known as Saint Tatiana's Day, and it was symbolic that local student, and Kazan Universiade volunteer Tatiana Zubareva, finished the Vladivostok stage of the relay, before lightning the city's cauldron."It's an honor and a great privilege for me," she said. "I was delighted to be a part of it, and talk to some of the athletes. We were all one team."The torch relay has started its 30,000 kilometer journey across Russian soil to the finish line at the Universiade.After visiting thirty major student cities the lighting of the flame will become the climax to the Games' opening ceremony in Kazan, on July 6.

"The free fruit in the canteen is a nice perk."
"Everyone gets Easter eggs at Easter and generous retail vouchers at Christmas."
"Fresh towels in the changing rooms is a game changer for cycling to work. There are lots of good external talks and subsidised/free events as well as subsidised language lessons and lots of support for charity sports events etc. We also get the usual gamut of health/travel insurance and cycle-to-work schemes."
"I think the exercise allowance is the best perk and the gym membership is heavily subsidised."
"There are often discounted theatre tickets on offer and a £30 fitness allowance."
"We get free dinners, free expert mortgage advice and free (or heavily subsidised) courses on subjects such as history, art or languages."
"The wide list of benefits that you can add on to your salary is good."
"We get a great pension and healthcare package."
"Offers for free or subsidised tickets to a wide range of events are commonly emailed round. Dinner is free if you're here past 7.30 pm and taxis are free after 10.00 pm.

"There are subsidised languages classes (French, German and Spanish) and a history of contemporary art course."
"We get free entry into exhibitions at the Royal Academy before they are made available to the public."

"We get free dinner from 7.30 pm, free taxis from 10.00 pm and 26 days of holiday. There's no compulsory litigation seat and we get six weeks of qualification leave (the firm will match three weeks of holiday)."
"The firm will make a contribution towards any sports activity of your choice including a gym, tennis club, base jumping or tiddlywinks etc."
"The best perks about working at Macfarlanes LLP are the benefits that come with the partnerships it has. For example, you are able to get discounted tickets to a variety of plays and theatre shows before these tickets have even been listed to the public. Furthermore, the firm is extending dress down to not just Fridays, but to the whole months of July and August, which is a testament to Macfarlanes LLP's ability to go against the grain and to not be afraid to trial something new."
"The perks here aren't particularly great. If you stay late you have to use the canteen here as you can't get food ordered in. Dinner is only free from 7.45 pm and you can't get a taxi home on expenses until 10.00 pm."

"We get discounts to a broad range of retailers."
"The firm provides all of the perks that you would expect from a City law firm and offers to help start clubs and societies where there is a demand."
"Macfarlanes have just introduced a fitness subsidy so you can get up to £360 a year towards whatever fitness activity you like – you're not tied to any particular gym."
"Culture club: lots of things to do that are either free or subsidised."
"People often email round about free tickets to events (eg football, cricket). There are the usual free dinners and taxis if you're working after 10.00 pm etc. Generally the sporting events are reasonably well funded and there are firm drinks afterwards."
"I haven't really benefited from many perks so far. The best has been the £100 vouchers at Christmas, which was a very nice gesture. There is a good subsidy for clubs/societies, which helps a lot."
"The free dinners are a real bonus and the sports events are great fun. The sports teams are all free. I particularly enjoy being able to play squash every other week for free."
"Many free firm-organised events (including sporting events/tournaments, film nights with free food and drink, and various parties). Taxis are paid for after 10.00 pm and free evening meals after 7.45 pm."
"The firm is very good at hosting regular social events. For example, the Tower of London was rented out for a recent firm anniversary party."
"Pretty good pension and healthcare. The firm has just introduced a fitness allowance of £30 a month for all fee earners. This can be used towards any gym or other fitness memberships."
"I think the Culture Club is great, and there is decent pension matching."
"Free dinners and taxis are provided if you are working late, there are corporate gym rates, discounts at nearby bars and restaurants and a pension etc. The best perk, in my opinion, is 2-4-1 burritos at Chilangos round the corner!"
"I appreciate the free dinners after 8:00pm. We also have some good offers at local bars and restaurants which I have made use of in my 11 months at the firm."
"Perks are various: a subsidised lunch, free dinner, a Tube season pass loan, cycle to work scheme, subsidised/free drinks on Fridays quite a lot, and we often get free corporate tickets to sporting events."
"Free taxis are provided after 10:00pm, and there is free dinner from 7:45pm onwards. Pension, health insurance and travel insurance are available (if you opt in)."

"Perks include: free theatre tickets/discounts, free taxis after 10:00pm. free dinners after 8:00pm (and they're pretty good), and a season ticket for the tube which helps immensely."
"The pension is great!"
"There are taxis after 10:00pm, free dinner after 8:00pm, good pensions, health insurance and shopping discounts, etc."
"The best perks for me are the free lunches at training, invitations to events for incoming trainees, free taxis and dinners if staying late, showers, cycle to work scheme, and pension, etc."
"We have a good subsidised cafeteria, receive subsidised shopping, free taxis after 10:00pm, free meals after 8:00pm, and up to 5% firm pension contribution."
"Perks include a free gym membership, and season ticket loans."

A Passion for Collaboration
HISTORY OF AFROMEDIA GROUP
In 1928, under a charter granted the Royal Niger Company (later re-christened UACL), West Africa Publicity (WAP) Limited was incorporated. WAP handled everything media, including media agency services, and media contracting display services for the Royal Niger Company. However, on the 28th of October 1959 and in harmony with then international convention mandating the separation of media agency services from media contracting services, WAP was bifurcated into two independent companies; namely, Lintas Limited (as a media agency services company) and Afromedia Nigeria Limited (as a media contracting display services company). Arising from the spin-off, Afromedia Nigeria Limited partnered with Mills and Allen International (then the largest outdoor advertising company in UK at the time) and British Franco Electric Company, largest UK manufacturer of illuminated and road traffic signs.
Ownership Change and Corporate Status:
It is noteworthy that as a result of the Enterprise Promotions Decree of 1972, which reserved, among others, Public Relations and Advertising ownership and controls exclusively for Nigerians, Afromedia Nigeria Limited was acquired in March 1974 by its Nigerian managers, with Chief Joseph Okoye Nwabunie, Rev Iretunde Olopade and Mr Simeon Olaghere as the then founder-owner/managers.
Subsequently, Afromedia Plc was incorporated on the 2nd of July 2008 as a publicly quoted company with changes to the ownership structure, and Otunba Akin Ire Olopade and Engr. Patrick O. Nwabunie as founder-owner/Managers. Haven received the incorporation approval from Corporate Affairs Commission - CAC and subsequent NSE consent to list its shares on the floor of the Nigerian Stock Exchange on 18th of May 2009.

A Profound Regard for our society
A lifelong Commitment to Excellence

To be Brands first choice in the support media industry by offering audience delivery solutions across the support media touch points that meets Brands objectives and thereby achieve Nigerian Market dominance by 2030 with a level of profitability and growth that will meet and exceed the highest expectations of AfromediaGroup shareholders and exceeds the hopes of AfromediaGroup employees and other stakeholders.
People Orientation At Afromedia Group
As our business grows, it becomes increasingly necessary to delegate responsibility and to encourage all employees to exercise their initiative as Intrapreneurs. This requires considerable tolerance as we expect those to whom we delegate authority and responsibility, will want to do their jobs autonomously. These are characteristics we want and will continue to encourage as long they align with our values and culture.
We expect that mistakes will be made, but if a person is diligent and has taken intelligent risk, the mistake he or she makes may be minimal in the long run compared to that of a leadership style that is dictatorial and authoritative – and has a tendency to micro-manage and tell employees how to carry out their roles. A leadership style that is overly critical when mistakes are made, stifles initiative, and it is therefore essential that our people are given the space to succeed and demonstrate initiative if we are to continue to grow.


The Who is one of the most influential rock groups of the 1960s and '70s. The band, formed in 1964, consisted of Pete Townshend (guitar), Roger Daltrey (vocals), John Entwistle (bass) and Keith Moon (drums). One of the originators of "rock opera", The Who have sold about 100 million records worldwide. The Who logo, still recognized and worn by thousands of music buffs around the world, adorned Keith Moon's drum kit until his death in 1978. The logo was unveiled by their manager and record producer – Kit Lambert.
Shape of The Who Logo: The famous "target" logo of The Who features an arrow coming out of the last letter of their name, similar to the medical symbol for male, therefore superbly symbolizing masculinity and portraying an uplifting edge at the same time. The two 'h's in the logo merge to create a feeling of unity. Color of The Who Logo: The Who logo boasts of the Union Jack, the British flag, hence comprising of three colors: Royal Blue, Red and White, while using a black background. Font of The Who Logo: The Who logo uses a bold, custom font which was designed by the famous British painter and visual artist Brian Pike in 1964 as a part of the original logo.

BACKGROUND: The number and cost of dental-related visits to Emergency Departments (ED) is a significant issue nationwide. A better understanding of the treatment provided to ED patients presenting with dental complaints and community dental resources is needed. METHODS: A three-tiered approach included: 1) a 12-month retrospective chart review for dental-related ICD-9 visit codes at an urban academic ED in Kansas City; 2) surveys of 30 providers at the same ED regarding the dental patient process and treatment; and 3) telephone surveys of 16 Kansas City area safety net clinics regarding service access. RESULTS: Out of 49,276 ED visits, 676 were related to dental conditions (70 were repeat dental ED visits). Most patients were female (54%), white (45%), age 20-39 (65%), and self-pay (56%). The most prevalent codes utilized were dental disorder not otherwise specified (NOS; 57%), periapical abscess (22%), and dental caries NOS (15%). Nearly all providers (97%) felt comfortable seeing patients with dental complaints. Chart review indicated that patients received a dental screen/exam during 80% of the encounters, with medication provided to 90% of the patients. Over two-thirds of the providers (N = 23/30) regularly prescribed antibiotics and pain medications for their ED dental patients. ED providers performed dental procedures in 63% of the patient cases. The most common procedures included dental blocks (N = 16 providers) and incision and drainage (N = 4 providers). Only two of the 16 safety net clinics provided comprehensive dental care, almost all (94%) clinics required patients to call to schedule an appointment, and there was a two to six month waiting period for 31% of the clinics. CONCLUSION: The limited scope of dental treatment in the ED, coupled with poor availability of safety-net dental resources, may result in dental exacerbations and suboptimal patient clinical outcomes. The enhancement of safety-net dental service accessibility is crucial to reducing dental ED visits and improving dental health, particularly among low-income, self-pay populations.

Q: does a call to a cuda synchronous function block all preceding tasks on the GPU? Will a call to a synchronous cuda function (e.g. cudaMalloc(), cudaBindTextureToArray(), etc.) block the host until all preceding requested tasks on the device have completed? Or will it block only until the call to that synchronous function has completed?
In other words does a call to a synchronous cuda function have the same effect as cudaDeviceSynchronize()?

A: Yes, it should block until all preceding tasks have completed.
You can test this by timing execution of statements on the CPU side:
Put one asynchronous task like kernel execution and then after it a synchronous one like cudaMemcpy() and time execution of both separately. If you put cudaDeviceSynchronize() right after the kernel, the timing will be correct for both calls. But if you delete the cudaDeviceSynchronize() call, you will see that the time for executing the kernel seems to be attached to the cudaMemcpy() call.

An Irish Country Doctor Story
By: Patrick Taylor
Narrated by: John Keating

Barry Laverty, M.B., can barely find the village of Ballybucklebo on a map when he first sets out to seek gainful employment there, but already he knows that there is nowhere he would rather live than in the emerald hills and dales of Northern Ireland.

An Irish Country Village
By: Patrick Taylor M.D.
Welcome back to the village of Ballybucklebo. Come and say hello again to Dr. O'Reilly's odd-as-two-left-feet patients; his housekeeper, Mrs. "Kinky" Kinkaid; and O'Reilly's pets: Arthur Guinness, the beer-swilling black Lab, and Lady MacBeth, the demonically possessed white cat. And of course, to young Dr. Barry Laverty. After Barry's first month as an assistant to crusty Dr. O'Reilly, he has been offered a permanent spot. But Laverty's excitement is dashed when one of his patients unexpectedly dies.
Pleasant but lightweight

An Irish Country Christmas
Barry Laverty, M.B., is looking forward to his first Christmas in the cozy village of Ballybucklebo, at least until he learns that his sweetheart, Patricia, might not be coming home for the holidays.
