The VIS Ski racing team earned 30 medals in the 2019 Hauser Kaibling International School Ski Races last week. At VIS, we believe that races are an opportunity for our students to display their athletic skills, but also a chance to demonstrate their sportsmanship and international understanding.
The VIS competitive sports programme gives students the opportunity to compete against schools and clubs within the International Schools Sports Tournaments (ISST), Central & Eastern European School Association (CEESA), Danube Valley Athletic Conference (DVAC), Österreichische Schülerliga (Austrian student league) and at other local sports tournaments. VIS offers a range of sports to allow the students to experience and enjoy a balanced programme, which aims to develop an all-round athlete.
The role of the competitive sports programme is to extend and supplement the regular curricular programmes of the school. Its aim is not only to promote excellence in sporting achievement, but also to cultivate the qualities of good sportsmanship i.e. cooperation, team work, respect for others, both on and off the field, and the ability to both win and lose with grace. To this end, all our athletes are expected to exhibit the highest standards of responsibility and behaviour in their pursuit of sporting excellence.


With this paper option, DuraReady's green book spine label is a wonderful alternative to its plastic counterpart. A perfect label for bibliography, classification, cataloging, and other color-coded applications when used with #5016DCH, #5016DOR, and #5016DPK. The great thing about using our labels is that you can change the information on them as often as necessary.


I was 20 years old when I saw this concert. I recall to this day thinking that I may have heard the best rock and roll I'd ever hear. I was right. This was the last tour with ace guitarist Mick Taylor before he quit the band. I still feel the energy.

The Consolidation Of The Space Industry
This post was written by: John Clifton
In episode #63 of The Tech That Connects Us, we were lucky to be joined by Sebastian Asprella and Vojtech Holub, the CEO and CTO of ThinkOrbital. We wanted to learn about their take on consolidation in the space industry (and a few other interesting topics).
We touched on the technology behind ThinkOrbital, tried to learn whether they were ambitious or just crazy, and wanted to know roughly where the industry was headed as they explore new and attractive opportunities.
When will we see new consolidation in space?
The first area appears to be launch. We're not saying we're experts in this field, but we did talk to people who are. We analysed the market in depth regarding where we come in to see where that sets us apart. So, I would imagine that launch would probably be the first one.
I'm not sure if the market is oversaturated. But it's interesting to see that there are still new startups or new companies coming into launch. And I would imagine unless they're extremely differentiated, I don't see how that's a concern.
The second area that comes to mind is the mega IoT constellations. So many of them could be sustained, and there's been so much capital going into them. Consolidation doesn't necessarily mean that companies go out of business, but there may be some mergers and acquisitions along the way.
Vojtech, do you agree or have different opinions on that?
Launch may end up even worse than consolidation, in the sense that consolidation assumes that the larger, more successful companies will buy the smaller non-successful ones. Unfortunately, most of them will just go bankrupt and disappear. There will be just a few survivors of different sizes for the few markets.
In space, there is a need for orbital tags, and a lot of companies have seen that. These tags would allow you to change orbits, grab a satellite, move it, refuel it, etc. And this is a crucial capability that is desperately needed everywhere. But there are also a lot of companies that are working towards that. And I don't know how many companies can be sustained this way. Maybe the national security interest of individual countries will come in and make them all work. I'm not sure. But it's another thing that pops into my mind.

The CRKT Ripple 2 is a classic gentleman's folder knife with high quality materials and some of the smoothest opening action on a folder/flipper we have seen. It uses the IKBS system. This Ken Onion designed knife has been recently updated for the year 2013 and the new variations are the K401GXP and K401BXP. The BXP is bronze, the GXP is grey. This new style is just a little bit longer than the original 400 series. They still have the stainless steel handles with a titanium nitride finish, although the pattern on the new version is a bit "bigger". I think it is a definite upgrade in the look. If you are looking for an upscale flipper knife, the new CRKT Ripple 2 knives are definitely a series to check out. Watch out over the next few weeks, we are expecting the new variations of the 405 series to be showing up soon.
Here is a quick video review on the upcoming CRKT Swindle.
Looking forward to having this knife in stock–it is excellent.

The CRKT Hissatsu is a fixed blade knife series that has three variations. You can also get the Hissatsu in a folder or spring assist model but specifically I will review the fixed blade edition. Similar in some ways to the much more expensive Hisshou knife that is also a James Williams design, the Hissatsu is relatively inexpensive. At just $79.95, you can pick one up without breaking the bank. Here are the things I really like about this knife.
Designed as a fighting knife after a legendary blade shape by Takeda Shingen, this knife is built to give you maximum penetration.
It also gives you slashing capabilities.
The thin profile means you can carry it into tactical situations as a secondary weapon for close quarters combat.
The handle has an Oyatsubo, which is the traditional name for the node on one side–which means whatever the conditions, you will know which way the blade is facing by the feel of the handle.
It has a great injection molded glass filled nylon sheath that has multiple carry options.
If you are looking for a CQC knife that can be carried easily and is built for performance, the Hissatsu is definitely a knife to consider. You can pick it up with an all black blade, a satin finish blade, or a desert tan blade and handle.
Ken Onion has designed some pretty fantastic knives through the years. Recently, he and CRKT released the Ripple 2 knife. This manual folder has a lot going for it. It is built on a proprietary ball bearing system that creates a nearly frictionless glide for the knife blade as it opens. You pull the flipper with your finger and the blade just whips right open. This knife isn't a spring assisted, but it sure opens as good as one. It stays closed through a detent system with the bearings. So it has a positive lock. Then, when you flip it, out comes the blade and just keeps going until it snaps into place–open.
One other thing I really like about this knife is the CNC machined handles. You can get it in either a blue or charcoal color–but it is the feel of the handle I like best. Made with a whole ton of texture, the handle gives you a nice solid grip. This is a great pocket knife for EDC.
CRKT makes some really great spring assisted knives. Most of their knives use the Outburst technology, which is their name for their proprietary spring system. It is good. Real good. The Notorious, designed by McGinnis who is a student at NC State University, is a great new addition to CRKT's line of spring assist knives. This knife has a great blade shape, a very comfortable handle, and it works like a charm.

Q: How do I switch between Player and Model joystick inputs in a regular interval? So I'm currently working on a machine learning model (in Python with Keras and Tensorflow) that can drive by itself in Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005. I recorded a couple of hours of me driving in the game and fed it to the model. I was able to get the inputs of the model to the game with vjoy via its "vJoyInterface.dll" file. So that works fine.
Now, the model is of course not perfect and the data that I recorded is mostly of me just driving normally through the streets. When the model is driving on its own it quickly gets itself into situations for which there are hardly any training samples in the training data.
Inspired by the solution in this video, where he faced the same problem, I wanted to try to switch between the player and the model being in charge while collecting data.
But it turned out to be much more difficult for me than expected. Here are various things I have tried or thought about doing:

*

*Using Joystick Gremlin to forward either the steering wheel or the model inputs. (Couldn't access the same device from two places)

*Create two vjoy devices (NFSMW can't see any devices if there is more than one vjoy device)

*Hide second vjoy device with HidGuardian (But apparently you can't hide a vjoy device.)

*Running the model as a plugin in Joystick Gremlin (Maybe possible, but I don't know how to access an environment or if all the existing code works within the plugin)

Nothing worked out and I'm close to just giving up this idea. But before I do that, I wanted to see if anyone else knows a way to do this.
PS: It's my first time posting. I hope everything is clear. Let me know if anything is missing.

Supporting the emergency services
We're thrilled to announce our sponsorship deal with the nationwide Emergency Services Football League, as well sponsorship of the West Midlands Ambulance Service Coventry team which plays within the league.
The Emergency Services Football League (ESFL) is the only one of its kind in the UK, and was set up in 2020 to create regular, flexible fixtures for those that work for the NHS, Fire, Police and prison services, but are often unable to commit to regular leagues due to unsociable working patterns.
Peter Overton, ESFL Co-Founder, said: "The ESFL is proud that Open Study College has decided to join the league and become a sponsor. We are really looking forward to working with the college and helping them promote their courses to all the Emergency Service Football Clubs in the UK."
Samantha Rutter, our CEO, said: "We all know what an amazing job our emergency services do for us, all the time, and especially over the last 18 months during the pandemic. To show our appreciation and support, we're delighted to sponsor the league as well as the West Midlands Ambulance Service Coventry team, and wish them every success for the new season.
"Aside from the sponsorship deal, we're also offering anyone in the league a special discount on any of our distance learning courses and advice on choosing the right course, as another way to give back to these incredible people."
Karl Williams, WMAS Coventry Club Secretary, commented: "During this pandemic we have seen phenomenal changes to the way the health care system has had to operate, not only in Coventry but around the world! It is very humbling to see so many members of the public and companies coming together to support the NHS in a remarkable sense of unity. This football club was created to give the local ambulance staff of Coventry and Warwickshire a release from the day job and expend some energy elsewhere whilst also having the opportunities to socialise and network. Without the support of our sponsors such as Open Study College this team would not be where it is today."
We're proud to be sponsoring both the league and a local team, this is one of the small ways we can give back and support our hard working emergency services to do something they love outside of work. We wish the West Midlands Ambulance Service Coventry team a successful season ahead!

Root canal morphology of primary mandibular second molar: A systematic review p. 1
R Mahesh, MS Nivedhitha
DOI:10.4103/sej.sej_18_19
For many years, it has been the constant endeavor of researchers to understand the complexities of root canal anatomy. This systematic review aimed to analyze the root canal morphology of primary mandibular second molar using different diagnostic aids in different ethnic population. An exhaustive search was undertaken to identify published literature related to the root anatomy morphology of the primary mandibular second molar. Using a combination of keywords, search was done up to August 2018 in PubMed, The Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, and Science Direct. The included data consist of type of population, number of teeth per study, number of root canals, and type of root canal configuration. A total of 10 articles were selected for the review. The most common morphology in primary mandibular second molar consists of 3 canals (two mesial and one distal) in 63% of the teeth examined. The mean root length was estimated to be 8.2 mm in the mesial and 8.6 mm in the distal roots. The review concluded that there are variations in canal morphology and number of canals based on the ethnic origin of the study population. The common canal morphology in primary mandibular second molar is 2 separated roots (mesial and distal) with 3 canal systems. Vertucci's Type IV (22) and Type I (11) canal configurations were the most prevalent in the mesial and distal roots, respectively.
Outcomes of nonsurgical endodontic treatment among endodontic postgraduate students at Riyadh Elm University p. 7
Hassan Muteq, Saad Al-Nazhan, Nassr Al-Maflehi
Aim of the Study: This study aims to investigate the outcomes of endodontic treatments performed by endodontic postgraduate students at the Riyadh Elm University College of Dentistry. Materials and Methods: The records of 187 patients with 432 teeth endodontically treated by endodontic postgraduate students at Riyadh Elm University College of Dentistry from February 2013 to February 2017 were randomly selected. In all, 151 patients were lost to follow-up. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed in 135 teeth of 36 patients. Two qualified endodontists reviewed the results of clinical and radiographic examinations. Outcomes were healed, healing, or diseased. Data were coded and statistically analyzed. Results: Overall results of endodontic treatment were healed teeth in 68.1%, healing teeth in 27.4%, and diseased teeth in 4.4%. The proportions of healed teeth in one and two visits were 64.3% and 90.5% (P = 0.083), respectively. The acceptable quality root canal filling had a higher healed rate (74.4%) than long or short root canal filling (P = 0.027). The presence of apical periodontitis significantly affected the success of endodontic treatment (P = 0.002). Conclusion: The outcome of this study is similar to those of previous studies, despite the limited sample size.
Pulp protection protocols under posterior composite restorations: A survey of dentists in Palestine p. 15
Naji Ziad Arandi
DOI:10.4103/sej.sej_146_18
Introduction: This study aimed to assess the knowledge and practice of dentists in Palestine toward pulp protection protocols under composite restorations and to find any associations with age, years of experience, and gender. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire was randomly distributed among 500 licensed dentists. It included six questions. The first three focused on demographic variables (gender, years of experience, and type of practice). The others focused on the protocols followed in three different Class I cavity scenarios: shallow (remaining dentine thickness [RDT] >1.5 mm), moderate (1.5 >RDT >0.5 mm), and deep (RDT <0.5 mm). For all scenarios, the questions were about using calcium hydroxide, resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), flowable composite, and dentin bonding agents under composites as the final restoration. Results: The response rate was 61%. There was a significant difference in the protocols the respondents chose for restoring shallow (P < 0.001) and deep (P < 0.001) cavities. However, there was no significant difference in the protocols the respondents chose for moderate cavities (P = 0.576). There was a significant association between the time since graduation and the protocol used for all cavity scenarios (P < 0.001). There was significant association between the gender and the protocol used in shallow (P = 0.001) and deep (P = 0.002) cases, but there was no association between gender and the protocol chosen in moderate cases (P < 0.418). There was no significant association between the protocol used and the type of practice in shallow (P < 0.236) and moderate (P < 0.055) cavities, but there was a significant association between the protocol used in deep cavities and the type of practice (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Irrespective of the cavity depth, there was an inconsistent implementation of pulp protection protocols among the respondents.
In vitro cytotoxicity of some hemostatic agents used in apicoectomy to human periodontal ligament and bone cells p. 21
Panupat Phumpatrakom, Watcharaphong Ariyakriangkai, Tanida Srisuwan, Phumisak Louwakul
DOI:10.4103/sej.sej_8_19
Aims: The aim of this study was to test the cytotoxicity of some hemostatic agents used in periapical surgery to primary human periodontal and bone cells. Materials and Methods: Primary human periodontal ligament and bone cells were divided into five experimental and two control groups. In each of the experimental groups, the cells were cultured in complete media containing various concentrations of different hemostatic agents: epinephrine, aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, ferric sulfate, or tranexamic acid. The cytotoxicity was evaluated at 1 min, 5 min, and 24 h. Regular complete medium and sodium hypochlorite were used as positive and negative control groups, respectively. The number of viable cells was investigated using MTT assay. The data were analyzed statistically at the 95% confidence interval. Statistical Analysis Used: The statistical analysis was done using Kruskal–Wallis and multiple comparisons tests. Results: The cytotoxicity of all hemostatic agents was time and concentration dependent. Epinephrine and tranexamic acid showed mild or no toxicity to both human periodontal and bone cells at all-time points. Aluminum chloride, aluminum sulfate, and ferric sulfate were moderately to highly toxic to the cells. No significant difference was found between epinephrine and tranexamic acid (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Epinephrine and tranexamic acid tended to be nontoxic or mildly toxic to periodontal ligament and bone cells. Both of them might be considered as the appropriate hemostatic agents for surgical endodontics.
Evaluation of temperature rise on the external root surface during the application of laser in root canals: An in vitro study p. 28
Akansha Verma, Rakesh Kumar Yadav, Aseem Prakash Tikku, Anil Chandra, Vijay Kumar Shakya
Background: Laser systems play an eminent role in endodontic treatment; however, some parameters should be investigated so that damage to the periodontal tissues can be prevented. Hence, in this context, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the temperature rises during the application of different power levels of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser and erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser to the external root surface of permanent teeth. Materials and Methods: Sixty mandibular single-rooted premolars were selected and prepared chemomechanically. Nd:YAG laser (Group I) activated irrigation was performed in 30 teeth and remaining 30 received Er:YAG laser (Group II) treatment at three different power levels (1, 1.5, and 2.0 Watt), applied to 10 samples from each group. Type K thermocouple wire, along with a digital calibrated thermometer, was used to measure the temperature changes on the external root surface. Data were assessed with unpaired Student's t-test and two-way ANOVA. Results: With increasing power levels, temperature of external root surface also increased to some extent in both the groups. For apical third, at power level of 1.5 and 2 Watt, the difference in mean temperature between the two groups was found to be significant (6.30°C and 7.75°C; P = 0.005 and 9.11°C and 10.05°C; P = 0.036), whereas for middle third region, it was found that at power level of 2 Watt, the difference in mean temperature between the two groups was significant (6.69°C and 7.91°C; P = 0.007). Conclusion: Both Nd:YAG laser and Er:YAG laser at various power levels lead to rise in temperature on the external root surface, but the temperature changes in all the tested groups remained below the critical threshold.
Dental students' perception of difficulties concerning root canal therapy: A survey study p. 33
Tuna Kaplan, Güzide Pelin Sezgin, Sema Sönmez-Kaplan
Aim: This study aimed to analyze dental undergraduates' perceptions about the difficulties they are facing while performing root canal therapy at a Turkish university, using a survey to identify students' answers to difficulties and to make a dissertation by the educators about possible resolutions. Materials and Methods: One hundred and six undergraduates who had experienced endodontic theoretical and preclinical education before clinical procedures enlisted in endodontics at the College of Dentistry at Biruni University were involved in this survey in 2018. All of the undergraduates who had experienced the same clinical procedures answered the survey based on problems at particular stages of root canal therapy. A Chi-squared test was used to determine statistical significance between different parameters (P < 0.05). Results: For the first 13 parameters, students had the most difficulty in radiography (50.9%), root canal identification (67%), and obturation (54.7%) procedures. For these parameters, respondents mostly did not report any trouble; especially, in irrigation (87.7%) and intracanal medication (89.6%) procedures. Conclusion: Assessment of the major undergraduate difficulties during endodontic treatment may assist the development of teaching methods during preclinical and clinical teaching.
Radiographic evaluation of root canal treatments performed by undergraduate students at the Dakar Dental School p. 39
Khaly Bane, Seydina Ousmane Niang, Mamadou Lamine Ndiaye, Ghassen Zaafouri, Babacar Touré
Aim: The aim of this study is to assess radiographically the technical quality of root canal treatments (RCTs) performed by students at the Dakar Dental School. Materials and Methods: Out of 420 patients who had undergone RCTs, 501 teeth were randomly selected. Forty-eight teeth were excluded and the final sample involved 453 endodontically treated teeth. The length and the density of the root filling were evaluated for each filled root of each tooth. The presence of procedural errors was also evaluated. Descriptive statistics were used for expressing the frequencies of criteria and Chi-square test was used for comparing qualities of RCTs in terms of tooth locations, tooth types and academic level of students. The level of students, the significance level was set at 0.05. Results: From the 453 RCTs, 63.6% were acceptable. The rate of adequate RCTs was higher in the maxilla than in the mandible (P = 0.022) and in the premolars (75.5%) followed by the anterior teeth (69.7%) and the molars (49.2%) (P = 0.026). The difference was not significant in terms of level of students (P = 0.429). Inadequate density was found in 27.8%, whilst underfilling and overfilling were found in 26.5% and 7.3%, respectively. The frequency of procedural errors was 2%. Conclusion: The technical quality of RCTs performed by undergraduate students at the Dakar Dental School using step-back preparation and cold lateral condensation was classified as acceptable in 63.6% of the cases.

Marie-Chantal Avoaka-Boni, Wendpoulomdé Aimé Désiré Kaboré, Yolande N.D. Gnagne-Koffi, Stéphane Xavier Djolé, Koffi T.D. Kouadio
Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of the occurrence of endodontic complications according to the dentists of the town of Abidjan and to identify the various types encountered so as to prevent them. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional prospective study. A survey form was randomly distributed to 150 dentists working in 128 private and public dental clinics in the town of Abidjan. The dentists were asked about the daily average number of patients treated, the frequency with which canal treatments were performed, and the complications encountered by dentists. The information collected was analyzed by means of EPI Info version 06.01 software. Results: A total of 135 dentists replied to the questionnaires; nearly all of them (94.8%) stated that they had encountered complications during endodontic treatment. Canal wall damage represented 54.68% of the complications when generating the access cavity. Fracturing of instruments was a frequent occurrence during exploring the root canal (72.58%) and during canal shaping (55.47%). Overfill of the gutta-percha cone and/or the cement for obturation was the complication that occurs most with canal obturation (55.47%). Flare-up without swelling was often encountered postoperatively (81.49%). Conclusion: Complications occurring during endodontic therapy remain a concern. Their prevention necessitates rigorous adhesion to the treatment protocols.
External root surface temperature changes during high-temperature injectable thermoplasticized root canal obturation in simulated immature teeth p. 51
Mamta Singla, Vivek Aggarwal, Neha Sinha
Introduction: The present study evaluated the change in the temperature of the external root surface of simulated immature teeth obturated with high-temperature injectable thermoplasticized gutta-percha. Materials and Methods: Root canals of 60 mandibular premolars were enlarged till size # 6 peeso freely passed through the apex. After placement of an apical barrier of 4 mm of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), two K-type thermocouples were attached at middle and apical thirds. The canals were obturated using high-temperature injectable thermoplasticized gutta-percha with either no sealer; AH plus sealer; or MTA Fillapex sealer. Maximum temperature rise was measured and evaluated. The data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA test. Results: The temperature increased after 4 s of placement of heated gutta-percha. There was no significant effect of sealer placement on the peak rise in temperature at the middle third (P < 0.05). There was no difference between the AH plus and MTA Fillapex groups (P = 0.42). Conclusions: The use of thermoplasticized gutta-percha can significantly increase the temperatures on the external root surface.
Cutting efficiency and dentinal defects using two single-file continuous rotary nickel–titanium instruments p. 56
Khoa Van Pham, Nhat Quoc Nguyen
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the cutting efficiency and dentinal defect rates using two single-file continuous rotary nickel–titanium instruments. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two resin endo training blocks and 48 mesiobuccal roots of extracted human first lower molars were divided into five groups (16 for each group). Roots were checked for the homogeneities of root canal dimensions, thickness of dentin walls, and curvatures using images of X-ray radiographs on AUTOCAD software. Two groups of resin blocks and two groups of mesiobuccal canals were instrumented using two continuous rotary nickel–titanium instruments (Neoniti A1 and OneShape), the remaining group (control group) of mesiobuccal canals was left intact. The cutting efficiencies of instruments were quotients of the loss weights of specimens, and the time needed for instrumentation. ANOVA and post hoc Tukey tests were used to analyze the differences among the experimental groups. The cracks on the sectioned root surfaces at 3-, 6-, and 9-mm levels were recorded. Fisher exact test was used to analyze the differences among the experimental groups. Results: Cutting efficiency of OneShape was greater than that of Neoniti on both resin and human root canals (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between dentinal defects created at different levels of canals by two kinds of nickel–titanium instruments (P > 0.05). Conclusions: OneShape instrument was more efficient than Neoniti on both kinds of root canals. Both instruments created dentinal defects on root canal walls.
Hemisection with platelet rich fibrin: A novel approach p. 61
Sweety Gupta, Aseem Prakash Tikku, Promila Verma, Ramesh Bharti
Since time immemorial, endodontics have proved to be an ultimate tooth savior. Hemisection is a conservative procedure where a part of hopeless multi-rooted teeth, with better retention, is preserved rather than saving the tooth as a whole. But with time, the extraction socket shows alveolar ridge resorption thus complicating the prosthetic procedure. Thus, a new technique of socket preservation evolved preventing such dimensional changes in postextraction socket. This case report shows grossly carious first and second mandibular left molar with furcation involvement in the second molar of a healthy 25-year-old male patient. Following endodontic treatment and hemisection, autologous platelet-rich fibrin was placed in the extraction socket, and the patient was followed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months for hard- and soft-tissue evaluation, clinically and radiographically. The fixed prosthesis was placed at the end of 3rd month. Radiographs at 6th and 12th months showed little resorptive changes with better healing, occlusion, and function clinically.
Chemical burn from direct application of aspirin onto a painful tooth p. 65
Hussam Alfawaz
Aspirin is one of the most effective oral analgesic agents available worldwide without prescription. Aspirin tablets can be directly placed on the painful tooth and adjunct mucosa to relieve pain and avoid dental visits. However, aspirin is acidic in nature and its protein coagulation effects can cause severe chemical burns to the surrounding mucosa when placed directly. Here, we describe a rare case of chemical burn caused by the direct placement of an aspirin tablet on a painful tooth. A 55-year-old healthy African female presented to the clinic with a history of pain in the right maxillary region. The patient stated that she had placed aspirin locally to relieve her toothache for a few days. On intraoral examination, a grayish-white fibrin-coated ulcer was observed on the buccal mucosa near the painful tooth, extending to the upper and lower buccal vestibules, up to the premolar area. The source of pain was resolved by root canal treatment of #17, and the patient was advised to discontinue the direct application of aspirin to oral tissues. Two weeks later, the lesion had healed entirely without scarring. This case highlights the differences in the degree of clinical presentation of the lesion and the importance of considering the injudicious use of aspirin as a potential cause of white lesions in the oral cavity.
Management of traumatically intruded permanent maxillary central incisors p. 69
Nuha S Alghamdi
The management of intrusive luxation varies depending on the patient's age, stage of root development, and severity of the trauma. These kinds of injuries are associated mostly with severe damage to the pulpal tissue, periodontium, and the tooth. The aim of this case report is to present multidisciplinary management of complete intrusion of maxillary central incisors in a 9-year-old healthy girl with external root resorption. The root canals were cleaned and medicated with calcium hydroxide then the teeth were extruded by an orthodontist. After two months, a 4 mm apical plug with mineral trioxide aggregate was placed in the apical third of the canals and the remaining of the canal was obturated with thermoplasticized gutta-percha. Cervical root resorption was noticed during the follow-up evaluation and was surgically managed.
Root canal treatment of a maxillary second premolar with Type VI canal configuration p. 74
Yaser Mohammad Almazrou, Yazeed Almuhizi
The roots and canals of maxillary second premolar have several typical anatomical features, as well as a great number of anomalies. The awareness toward atypical anatomy can be a critical factor in determining the success of endodontic therapy. This case report of 32-year-old healthy female patient describes the successful endodontic therapy of a left maxillary second premolar with Type VI configuration according to Vertucci's classification. The pulp of the tooth was previously initiated with asymptomatic apical periodontitis. An operating dental microscope was used to locate the orifices of the canals. Recall radiograph shows reduction in the size of the apical radiolucency.
Mineral trioxide aggregate plug and conventional root canal treatment of traumatized maxillary central incisor with an open apex: Three-year follow-up p. 77
Rania Anas Elgailani, Elhadi Mohieldin Awooda
Traumatic dental injuries may cause the loss of a tooth's pulp vitality before the development of the root has been completed. A 12-year-old boy complained of a broken crown of one of his upper front tooth due to falling down. The tooth had a history of previous trauma 1 year ago. Clinically, the tooth was discolored with complicated crown facture. Intraoral periapical radiograph revealed an open apex of 1 mm in width. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plug, placed orthogratelly on the apical part, has proven a successful outcome based on a 3-year follow-up. In conclusion, MTA plug is a treatment of choice for cases of small open apex (1-mm diameter or less) of traumatized nonvital permanent teeth.

BRISTOL — In front of the usual high-volume, standing-room-only crowd that goes along with the rivalry between the boys' basketball teams from Vergennes and Mount Abraham union high schools, the visiting Commodores on Friday took a big lead over the Eagles, withstood Mount Abe's third-quarter surge, and pulled away for a 64-39 victory.
The result improved VUHS's season record to a misleading 5-6. Four of their losses have come to Division I teams, and four were by five points or fewer.

Sudan rebels reject junta-opposition political agreement
Hentet fra Radio Dabanga | Ingen journalist kreditert
The Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF), a coalition of Sudanese armed movements, has declared its categorical rejection of the political agreement signed between the ruling Transitional Military Council (TMC) and the Forces for Freedom and Change (FFC formerly known as the Alliance for Freedom and Change) on Wednesday.
Jibril Ibrahim, head of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), told a joint press conference in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa that the SRF was surprised by the signing of the agreement while they were still meeting with representatives of the FFC and discussing their approach to reach a document.
He said that the signing of the agreement "fatally hit the dialogue in Addis". He pointed out that the political agreement does not include all members of FFC.
He asked the parties to seriously consider the reservations and not to sign the Constitutional Declaration until after the meeting of the FFC has concluded. The text should include issues of marginalisation, just peace, issues of displaced persons and refugees, and of diversity in the transitional authority, and restructuring of the state and citizenship, and the inclusion of women and youth.
The SRF expressed readiness to sit with the parties of the FFC to deal with the challenges ahead.
Ibrahim pointed out that the dialogue in Addis Ababa addressed a number of issues, including the formation of an effective leadership body for the FFC.
Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM-MM)
The head of the Sudan Liberation Movement (SLM-MM), Minni Minawi, said that the agreement went beyond the basic issues and considered it unacceptable and called for stopping what is going on inside until the completion of the document.
He said that the SRF had called on its partners in FFC to postpone the signing of the agreement until the completion of the dialogue in Addis and to include its results, but it rejected it.
He explained that the agreement, which was signed is not adequate and Sudan will not emerge from the impasse, saying that what is required is not the transfer of power from military to civilian, but the removal of the causes and root causes of the crisis that led to to genocide and the secession of the South Sudan.
Minawi explained that the parties to the agreement deliberately ignored these issues.
The SRF is still dealing with its partners with an open mind, calling for leadership to be wise, he said.
Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North
Malik Agar, leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North faction in Blue Nile said that the political agreement disregarded the ongoing dialogue between FFC and the SRF, did not address the issues of war and peace and the civil war that has besieged Sudan for decades.
Yesterday, Malik Agar told a joint news conference of the SRF members in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa "The current situation is the last chance for Sudan to be and not be".
He said that the circulated statement about the SRF's demands in mind had previously led to the secession of South Sudan and warned of the dire consequences of ignoring peace issues.
Sudan Call
Osman Hussein, head of the displaced and refugees' delegation to the Sudan Call (a coalition of the SRF, opposition parties and civil society organisations) said that the agreement ignored the issues of displaced people and holding accountable the perpetrators of rape, murder and occupation of land.
He stressed at the press conference that they will not be part of an agreement that does not guarantee the return of refugees and displaced people to their places of origin.
He pointed to the arrest of displaced people from the beginning of the revolution, the latest of which included 28 people in Gireida, he demanded their release.
Communist Party of Sudan
In Khartoum, the Communist Party of Sudan announced its rejection of the political agreement signed between the military junta and the FFC on Wednesday morning.
The party said in a statement that the agreement ignored the decisions of the African Union supported by the European Union, the Troika, the US Congress and the United Nations, which called for full civilian leadership of the transitional government and building on what has previously been agreed upon.
The statement pointed out that the agreement was also devoted to the dominance of the military coup junta over all the details of the state in contradiction to the principle of building on what was done in the previous agreement.
In addition, the agreement also ignored the dismantling of the regime, the accountability of its corrupt figures, the recovery of the looted property and property of the people, as well as the dissolution of all militias outside the armed forces in accordance with security arrangements in the interim period.
Darfur Bar Association
In Khartoum, the Darfur Bar Association played down the political agreement signed on Wednesday morning between the military junta and the FFC.
Yesterday, the Darfur lawyers said in a statement that the agreement signed has the fundamental defects will be announced by the Association later. The association that it is "deeply concerned about leaving the fate of the country to some of the affiliates of the Sudanese Professional Association" and others of the FFC who lack proper understanding of the fateful issues of the homeland.

Which is a useful word, but it can lead to overloaded sentences.
Take this example from an article in The Australian Financial Review during the global financial crisis.
For example, the conversion of former US investment banking giants Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley into commercial banks (which have tougher capital requirements) had the unintended consequence of squeezing funding to hedge funds – which in turn has exacerbated their dumping of assets across world markets.

The correct punctuation when you join two independent clauses with however is to put a semicolon before it and a comma after it. This is because it is an adverbial conjunct (an adverb acting as a conjunction).
The weather forecast was for thunderstorms; however, we were determined to walk the track.
This can cause problems when it's overused or it's not clear what it refers back to. It's sometimes called the 'slippery this'. Similar disconnects can happen with other pronouns such as It and They.
The following example is by Lynn Gaertner-Johnston.
What's created the unfortunate situation – the writer's lack of awareness or the driver's behaviour?
Sentences that begin with It is and There is (and variants, e.g. It was, There are) are known as expletive sentences. These phrases are also sometimes called false or filler subjects because they are not the real subject of the sentence.
Problems can arise with these phrases in business writing if they make your writing waffly.
When you come across an expletive sentence, re-assess it and see if it would be better re-worded with a real subject at the beginning.

Food stores nowadays have abundant stock of cauliflower couscous or cauliflower rice as some call it. To make 'cauli rice' you just grind up fresh cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble couscous. It's healthy, its tastes great, its vegan and versatile. You can do so much with it, steam it, saute it, bake it. This is a simple, humble, and super easy way to turn your couscous into a delicious side.
Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter for a minute and add the ginger. Saute for 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and cook till them become a bit mushy. I added ½ a teaspoon salt and the turmeric at this stage.
Now add the couscous and the peas.
Stir in the spices- coriander powder, cumin seed powder, chilli powder and curry powder. A little more salt will be required. Adjust as per taste. Mix well and cover for 5 minutes on medium flame.
You do not need to add any water to this as the couscous leaves moisture.
Uncover after 5 minutes and continue cooking on medium to high heat for another 5-7 minutes. It is important to cook the couscous uncovered, otherwise it can become quite limp.
Check for seasoning one last time.
Serve hot garnished with some chopped coriander. This dish is a great side to have. You can have this just by itself, with some flatbread, stuff it in a sandwich, create your own cauliflower couscous tortilla wrap. The possibilities are endless!
If you don't have any ready made couscous, you could just blitz a few cauliflower florets in your mixer and hey, there's your fresh cauliflower couscous.
Feel free to play around with this recipe and add more of your favorite veggies to it!
