FIND OUT ABOUT OUR TEAM
Tennis has evolved gigantic steps, has stopped being a select sport for fans or played in backyard private courts and has turned into an incredibly competitive game, but its essential characteristics have remained invariable: the pleasure of playing and of winning.
The principal ingredient must be 'will'. The will to win, to learn, to practice, to train, to return to play after a defeat, to fight, to have a real winner's instinct and finally the desire to demonstrate that one is the best.
Secondly, a real love for the game. Young players have many distractions, other sports and activities that lead to them losing interest. But the real tennis players always want to play.
Tennis is one of the most complete sports. To play well, you need agility, balance, resistance, speed and force. The physical training will form a part of a strategic long-term plan to improve the performance on the court. In a good player, a physical condition is fundamental in tennis.
If you have talent or good technique, your tactic and strategies could be better. Technique will be one of the first aims to work on.
Mental preparation is very important. Probably one of the most important aspects of a match is the psychological factor since concentration is the easiest skill to lose in a moment of great tension. All players lose their patience in some situations. It is very important that the player enjoys the competition and the challenge to not get stressed.

Eilean Records is a new French-based label run by Mathias Van Eecloo and twincities – variations for the celesta is the label's first release (although ironically labeled ). Long Islander (New York) Fletcher McDermott creates music in his basement studio in the guise of twincities (funny, when I think of "Twin Cities" I think of Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota).
Eilean is Scottish Gaelic for Island and the label's works will each relate to a point on an imaginary map with up to one hundred predetermined locations. Coincidentally, McDermott lives on an island (albeit a rather large island). Eilean releases will vary in quantities from 75 to 200 physical copies and there will be up to 100 releases with hand made covers and related artwork in this map series. Connections to the place where the music is created will be memorialized with an image of a small bottle containing the soil from the musician's locale. On the reverse of the image with be the map quadrant assigned to the musician. Each release will be a part of the puzzle of the overall map…the music connected to the artist, a point on the map and a small vial of soil. In effect, an imaginary hybrid island with a small yet tangible existence. Islands of the imagination, islands of the mind, perhaps even islands of isolation. Have any of you ever read the short story The Man Who Loved Islands by D. H. Lawrence?
1) variations opens with rapid-fire automated Morse code, soothed with slow comforting celesta responses. 2) The celesta is transformed into restful wind chimes with long passages of deep resonant tones and distant faint melodies. There are some comparisons to the recent works of Kane Ikin's otherworldly explorations (seek out his recent 12k label releases). 3) Is like hanging on the edge of a dream while awakening in the misty early morning light—the calm and the quietude. The celesta treatment is like it could be from portions of the soundtrack to Forbidden Planet—rather mysterious, almost ominous.
4-7) This collection of tracks seems like a suite, at first sonorous, gentle and deep tones and mysterious atmospheres (in time, a slower Morse code reappears), transitioning into an edgier realm (6) and finishing in a gritty drift across the radio dial, sharper sounds with kalimba-like percussives. 8) Sways gently and is the most peaceful track on the album. It evokes some of the feeling of Robert Rich's recent album Nest. 9) This piece is a broad soundscape (in some respects like those created by the band Lambchop as links between songs…William Tyler's moody electric guitar drones). The celesta is treated like chimes sounding like church bells, in memoriam. 10) A gritty close, like the beginning, and the distant music returns one last time from a far away island.
Eilean Records is off to a fine start with twincities variation for the celesta. Visit their website soon for the next planned destination which will be released on 5/5/14 and monthly thereafter.

I was searching through my external hardrive for old photos of etsy projects I could relist, when I came upon some of my first and favorite quilts.
From what I understand, my niece actually has this quilt hanging on her bedroom wall. While flattered that they didn't want it to get "messy," I couldn't help being slightly disappointed that she wasn't snuggling her little face into it each night. I had this dream of it getting dragged around on sleepy mornings, to slumber parties later on, and getting enough wear into it that the fabric turns ultra soft from so many washings. I never had a quilt growing up, but I have fond memories of my favorite blankies and I wanted this quilt gift to be one of hers.
this photo taken when my sewing desk was still uncluttered with projects!
The process of quilting is very multi-step. Assembling the quilt top is the most dynamic and thoughtful part. When you finally square up and get all the measurements checked, the fabric backing cut, and the batting ready, you can begin to actually quilt the fabric sandwich together. This, for me, is extremely arduous. I usually end up with neck aches because I like to just get as much of it done in one sitting as possible. Plus, the anticipation of seeing it all together and bound can be just too much!
Anyway, back down memory lane...this second quilt still stuns me with its color. While I was sewing it, because it was my first more complicated pattern (other than patchwork squares), so I was nervous! Nervous about the color and pattern juxtaposition, nervous that it would be too busy, nervous that it wouldn't be liked...Even when I finished each block, I was a little bit unsatisfied with its progress - because my original vision was getting harder to imagine. However, once that quilt top was sewn together, I was shocked. It worked! There is a lot going on, but it's organized at the same time. Plus, it was a quilt for a baby and I just knew that with something this colorful she would probably be more entertained by her quilt than her mobile hanging above!

Fire agencies have a burning desire to recruit females, with little luck
by Jessica Murri
Courtesy of Kate Leadbetter Kate Leadbetter spent seven summers of her life fighting wildfire on hotshot crews all over the west. "I would never admit something was hard," she said.
At work, Molly Leadbetter rappels out of helicopters. She carries a pack weighing nearly 119 pounds (around five pounds less than Molly herself). She walks into wildfires and when she gets there, the 25-year-old spends 16 hours digging trenches, clearing fuels and containing fires burning thousands of acres of Idaho wilderness. She is, by definition, a bad ass.
"It gets hot," Leadbetter said. "You're next to the fire, you're sucking in smoke, burning your eyebrows digging a hot line. Suddenly, I'm like, 'Why do my ears hurt so bad?' My earrings get really hot."
Molly and her 27-year-old sister, Kate, have worked on wildland fire crews for six and seven years, respectively. They've fought fires across the West and work a grueling schedule of 14 days on, two days off, throughout the summer.
They're used to being outnumbered by men—usually at a 10-1 ratio—and they've both been the only woman on their crews.
Molly and Kate both said they are surrounded by women who are physically strong enough to tackle wildland firefighting, yet have seen a decline in the number of women in their field. It's a problem fire agencies across the country, from wildland firefighting organizations to city fire departments, are dealing with.
"I think, initially, a lot of women are like I was: They think they're not fit enough or don't think they can do it," Molly said. "I tell every girl, 'You could do fire.'"

University of Colorado Hospital Advanced Practice Provider appointed to medical board
By: Jessica Berry, UCHealth
Dr. Ethan Cumbler, president of UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital's medical board, congratulates Amanda Brill, a nurse practitioner who specializes in neurosurgery, on her election to the board. Photo by UCHealth.
A nurse practitioner who specializes in neurosurgery has been elected to serve on the medical board of UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, located on the Anschutz Medical Campus. Amanda Brill is believed to be one of a few Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) in the country to serve as an elected member at-large on a hospital medical executive committee.
Advanced Practice Providers perform key functions throughout UCH and UCHealth's networks of hospitals and clinics. APPs include physician assistants (PA-Cs), nurse practitioners (NPs), certified nurse midwives (CNMs), certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs), clinical nurse specialists (CNS), and anesthesia assistants (C-AAs).
APPs are considered full voting members of the medical staff, and three years ago, were granted the opportunity to stand for election to University of Colorado Hospital's medical board.
Amanda Brill
Since 2002, Brill has worked as an acute care nurse practitioner in the Department of Neurosurgery, working with Dr. Robert Breeze, and other outstanding neurosurgeons, neurologists and APPs. Throughout her career as a faculty member of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, Brill has provided medical care for patients both in the hospital and in outpatient clinics. She specializes in neurovascular, tumor and gamma knife radiosurgery. Since becoming the neurosurgery department's first APP in 2002, Brill has been joined by an additional 14 APPs and provides leadership to her colleagues along with excellent patient care.
"We are proud to have APPs with full medical staff voting privileges. Adding Amanda to our medical board is a critical milestone. We hope to be a model for other institutions as we recognize and reward APPs for their contributions to hospitals and patients," said Dr. Ethan Cumbler, president of the UCH medical staff.
"I am enthusiastic about working with inter-professional care teams and providing a voice for the medical staff members," said Brill. "As an APP, I value team-based care and work with attending physicians, resident physicians and medical learners on a daily basis, and promote working as a coherent care team with our nursing staff and allied health staff."

Barclays CEO Staley Resigns After Epstein Probe
Barclays CEO Staley
Barclays (BARC.L) chief executive Jes Staley is to step down following a probe by British regulators into his ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, ending a controversial six year reign at the lender marked by his successful backing of its investment bank against an activist investor.
Staley will be replaced as CEO by the bank's head of global markets C.S. Venkatakrishnan, who on Monday pledged to continue his predecessor's strategy.
Barclays said it was made aware on Friday evening of the preliminary conclusions from the Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulatory Authority's investigation into Staley's characterisation to Barclays of his relationship with Epstein and the subsequent description of that relationship in Barclays' response to the regulator.
"In view of those conclusions, and Mr Staley's intention to contest them, the Board and Mr Staley have agreed that he will step down from his role as Group Chief Executive and as a director of Barclays," the bank said.
"It should be noted that the investigation makes no findings that Mr Staley saw, or was aware of, any of Mr Epstein's alleged crimes, which was the central question underpinning Barclays' support for Mr Staley following the arrest of Mr Epstein in the summer of 2019."
Barclays shares fell 2% following the announcement.
Barclays said last year that Britain's financial regulators were probing links between Staley and Epstein, who killed himself while awaiting trial on sex trafficking offences. Staley has previously said his relationship with Epstein, which he now regrets, ended in late 2015.
The FCA and PRA said in a statement they could not comment further on the Epstein investigation.
Staley told staff in an internal memo seen by Reuters that he did not want his 'personal response' to the investigations to be a distraction.
"Although I will not be with you for the next chapter of Barclays' story, know that I will be cheering your success from the sidelines," he said.
In a separate internal memo also seen by Reuters, Venkatakrishnan, known as Venkat, told staff the strategy put in place by Staley at Barclays was the "right one", although he added that he would announce changes to the organisation of the corporate and investment bank in the coming days.
UK regulators launched their investigations into links between Staley and Epstein after JPMorgan (JPM.N) provided them with emails the two exchanged when Staley was the head of JPMorgan's private bank, the Financial Times reported last year.
The bank's share price has fallen 9% since Staley became CEO in December 2015.
Barclays fought off a campaign launched by activist investor Edward Bramson in 2018 to have Staley removed. Bramson sold his stake earlier this year.
Britain's financial regulators and Barclays fined Staley a combined 1.1 million pounds ($1.50 million) in 2018 after he tried to identify a whistleblower who sent letters criticising a Barclays employee.

Being Sued By Amex. I'm terrified.
Hi everyone. Long story short, I am completely lost. I have no idea what to do and can't afford to pay Amex anymore. I was young and got into a lot of trouble financially and ended up using their card a lot more than i should have. I have tried to pay it off over time but the interest makes it impossible to pay off any portion of the actual debt . I was advised to not pay them anything anymore and hope that they move the debt to a collection agency where I could dispute it. That never happened. I received word that Amex filed a summons against me. The summons went unserved because I moved to a different state but I am terrified that they are suing me and have absolutely no idea what to do. I verified this online in the Broward County clerk of courts. I currently have a waitressing job but I'm not making enough money to even pay my bills let alone pay Amex. I'm losing sleep and have lost weight as a result of the stress. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Good evening, I'm so glad I found this forum and hoping I can get some insight on how to handle this legal issue. I just received a priority letter (attached) from Discover stating that if I do not contact them by April 30th, they will obtain a lawyer to collect. The $3,000 debt has incurred fees and is now sitting at $3,600. Last year prior to having no choice but to let the debt go, I had an automatic payment plan setup for $60/month which was fine for a little over a year until I had medical problems. I knew that would be out of work soon so I picked my poisons and decided to pay off my smaller debt credit cards which are now in perfect standing, and let the larger Discover card debt go. Here it is a year later and I'm unemployed but going to college full-time. I have zero income and will need to take a student loan next semester to finish paying for my degree. My question is, I've read a little bit on here about arbitration and curious what that is, how it could help and if it's a good option for me. If so, how do I begin that process? My next question is, I've read about them possibly garnishing my bank account for payment. Since I plan to take a student loan next semester (August), will they take my student loan money?? I really need to complete my degree so I can get back to work and earn income lol. Thank you in advance!
Back in 2013 I had successfully defeated BoA and FIA card services in court over an alleged credit card debt that was and isn't mine. These guys will not correct my credit report even after their lawyers stated they would in their stipulation of discontinuance of their suit against me after I won the case. Now I feel like I have no choice but to sue them in district court. I'm not entirely positive whether I should file a civil claim or a small claim against them for violations of the FCRA/FDCPA... So any advice I could get would be completely appreciated. I have defended myself in court before pro se, so I'm comfortable with the process. I just want to know what would be the best way of building my case and having BoA removing their erroneous account information off my credit report for good.
Hello, I am being sued by Resurgence Legal Group. I answered the summons within the 30 days timeframe. I denied all allegations and requested for debt validation with the following information: A copy of the original application with my signature for the alleged debt How much was the debt purchased for? Provide a fully itemized statement for the amount you are asking which clearly details how this amount over the amount that was paid for this debt was calculated, including the interest rate being charged. Confirm that this fate falls within state usury limits. They responded with: Below is an explanation of this account. Our clients records indicate that the account was a Wellsfarro back with an account number of....The account was opened on or about...and was charged off on....The last payment on the account was made on about...At the time of charge off, you account carried a balance of...the account now carried a total balance due of... The debt was purchased by Resurgence Capital...The last known address as to where builling statements had been sent, in addition to the social security number under which the account opened. To verify, the last four digits of you social security number are... Address of original creditor is Wellsfargo... This response does not answers the questions that I answered with. I sent a follow up letter asking for the information that I originally requested. And is still waiting for a response. However, they sent me Form Interrogatories, Plaintiffs first set of requests for admission propounded on defendant and a wellsfargo card agreement (that you can print from their website). 1st question: Do I have to answer his form interrogatories, and admissions requests. 2: How do I beat this case? I have an idea that my mother opened this card since we have the exact same name and she knows my social and she has opened accounts in the past under my name. 3. What do I ask for in the case management conference? I appear for case management conference tomorrow and I want them to validate debt to show that it wasnt me.
ARS National Services, Inc / Citibank, are they a JDB or Assignee of debt?
Received a dunning letter from ARS National Services, Inc., PO Box 463023, Escondido, CA 92046-3023 It looks a LOT like this letter: http://www.creditinfocenter.com/community/topic/286881-should-i-settle-please-help/ You can see thier site at arsnational dot com I am trying to decide if I should settle or not. I don't have much time left to take them up on their 50 cents on the dollar offer. May 20th is the deadline for them to receive payment. For the first step, I am thinking of sending them a DV letter. Thier first letter to me is dated April 30, 2013 and offers the 50% deal if I pay them by May 20. Yesturday (May 11) I received ANOTHER letter from ARS. This letter is dated May 8, 2013 and says they are authorized to accept the same 50% "in full settlement of the above referenced acount, provided your payment reaches this office by 05/13/2013. Well this is pretty stupid. Today is sunday, and May 13 is Monday. I don't know how they thought I was going to pull that off, especially since I got the letter yesturday, not to mention the fact that this letter contradicts the April 30 letter (which had a 'due' date of May 20). Looked up my credit report. It shows the Citibank charge off and some amout past due (not the full amount). Does not say it was sold or transferred, but it may be too early. The most recently inquiry by Citibank was in May 2013, so this just happened, as I posted this May 12. The confusing thing is that the sentence about making payments payable to says: CITIBANK PO Bbox 469100 Escondido, CA 92046-9100 Because this address is only a few PO boxes away from ARS's, it leads me to think ARS is cashing the checks even if they are made out to Citibank. I searched this forum, but did not find anything really concrete. http://www.creditinfocenter.com/community/topic/315454-citibankars-national/ I also found this thread: http://www.creditinfocenter.com/community/topic/304567-settlement-letter-from-chase-telling-me-to-contact-ars-national-services-inc/ But I did not receive a letter from Citibank as the person in the above thread did from Chase. I did just receive another statement from Citibank for this account. Its just another statement showing even more interest accrued. Does anyone know if ARS National Services, Inc does collections on behalf of Citibank (assigned debt) or do they purchase the debt (junk debt buyer or JDB) ? Does Citibank sue for debt in Nevada?
Hi everyone, I got a letter in the mail yesterday from a local attorney office stating that I am being sued for money due. This attorney office wants to represent me but I have NOT been served papers yet. I went to the Court website and i see the case was filed May 9th 2013, There is no court date and no papers have been served. I have not owned a credit card in over 6 years. Isn't this debt passed the Statute of Limitations? I recently bought a house in 2011 and I'm guessing they must see that as assets they can seize to pay this debt. I don't understand why this came up all the sudden? I was reading other cases on this site and someone said that a creditor will actually make a small payment on an old account to restart the SOL? is this TRUE? how can they get away with that? Is there anyway to file a motion to dismiss this case before I am served Papers? I don't have money to even pay a Lawyer. I am on Unemployment now cause i lost my job back in February. I want to squash this before it even goes to court. I literally have NO money. What can I do? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Was wondering if anyone has suceesfully used the Delaware Choice of Law provision to invoke the 3 year SOL as opposed to the California 4 years SOL. I have an alleged debt and it is about 8 months out of the 4 year SOL. I am expecting the CA to file suit any day now and have been reading up on possible strategies.
I'm new to this forum. I'm seeking a little help because I'm also new to dealing with collection agencies. I'm sending Midland Funding, LLC a ITS letter but I want to send them a copy of the unfiled motion(not sure if I'm saying that right . Soo my first question... On the court form it says "The PLAINTIFF must file a small claim action in the county where at least one of the defendants resides" Does this mean I need to file a small claim action in San diego where their head quarters are or can I file in my county?


Stacked coin quilts are really popular right now. I needed a baby quilt for a gift, so I thought I'd play with the stacked coin idea with some charms. For this quilt I used only the girl prints from 2 Funny Babies charm packs for a total of 40 charms.
This pattern could easily be altered for just about any charm pack, regardless of how many charm squares. And the best part is that it can easily be pieced in an hour or two!
Baby Stacks, 38" x 38"
This step is optional, but it helps me embrace the random piecing.
Toss the 80-2.5" x 5" pieces into a bag and give them a shake!
Measure the length of each of the 5 coin stacks and take an average of the 5 measurements. Don't worry if they aren't all exactly the same.
Now cut the 2/3 yard coordinate print into 8 strips 3" wide by WOF. Set 2 strips aside for the top and bottom borders. Trim the remaining 6 strips so that they are the average length of your coin stack strips.
Attach the strips of coordinate fabric to the coin stack strips. You may want to pin these a bit. I usually pin at the top, bottom, and once in the middle.
Piece all of the coin stacks together and press all seams. At this point you should have a nearly complete top with both side borders, 5 pieced coin stacks and borders between each stack.
Measure the width of your quilt top at the top, bottom, and middle. Find the average of the 3 measurements. Now pull out the top and bottom 3" border strips that you set aside earlier. Trim the length of both of these strips to the average measurement that you just calculated.
Attach the top and bottom borders. Again you may want to pin at a few places.
Press all seams. Layer top, batting and backing. Quilt. I quilted straight lines 1/2" apart. This is a great pattern for practicing straight line quilting without marking any lines because you can check your quilting lines against the seams in the top. I used the edge of my walking foot as a guide to keep my lines 1/2" apart, and when I approached a seam I adjusted my quilting to keep my lines moving straight down the quilt.
Bind your quilt however you like.

Q: IOS:upload a image to server Php From ios devices is Not Working? i used This Code for devices:
    NSURL  *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://localhost/phd-admin//testing.php"];

   NSData *imageData=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url];
    ;
    NSLog(@"data length %d",[imageData length]);

    if (imageData != nil)
    {
     NSString   *filenames = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Deal.png"];      //set name here
        NSLog(@"%@", filenames);
        NSString *urlString = @"http://localhost/php-admin//receiveFile.php";

        NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];

        [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
        [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

        NSString *boundary = @"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449";
        NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@",boundary];
        [request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];

        NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];

        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"filenames\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [body appendData:[filenames dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

i Used This Code For Server Side:
<?php

$mytextLabel= $_POST['filenames'] ;  //getting textLabe Here
echo $myparam;
echo $mytextLabel;
$target_path = "upload/";
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['myfile']['name']);
if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['myfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
    echo "The file ". basename( $_FILES['myfile']['name']) . " has been uploaded";
} else {
    echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!".$myparam."val".$mytextLabel;
}
?>

but it is not working?
pls suggest your answer.
thank,s.

A: I believe you have too many lines there, do not need it all. Try just this instead all your appendData:
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"%@\"\r\n", filenames] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

Your PHP:
<?php
    $file = $_FILES['userfile'];
    $target_path = "upload/" . $label;

    if (move_uploaded_file($file['tmp_name'], $target_path)) {
        echo "The file ". basename($file['name']) . " has been uploaded";
    } else {
        echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!" . var_dump($file);
    }
?>

Try this way.


For individuals who wish to replace missing teeth, dental implants may be an effective long-term solution. Implants provide greater structural support and have shown great durability. Implants serve as the artificial root to which new teeth are bonded. They are typically constructed of titanium, a strong and safe material that effectively attaches to bone. The procedure to insert dental implants typically involves three steps: the implant insertion stage, osseointegration (the period of healing for the jawbone), and the attachment of restoration or new tooth.
The most popular form of implant is the Root Implant. This type of implant is very effective and mirrors the size and shape of a patient's natural tooth. Many times, this implant will be as strong structurally as the original tooth's root. Once the dentist applies the local anesthesia, he or she makes an incision in the gum in order to gain access to the jawbone. The bone is then prepared and the implant inserted into the jawbone with care and precision. Finally, the dentist stitches the gum and prescribes the appropriate medication. During the osseointegration step which lasts anywhere from three to eight months, the jawbone firmly attaches itself to the implant. Once the osseointegration is completed, the patient returns to the dental office where the implant is fitted with the new tooth.
Another form of implant is the Plate Form Implant. This implant is ideal in situations where the jawbone is not wide enough to properly support a Root Implant. The Plate form implant is long and thin, unlike the Root Implant, and anchors into thin jawbones. Once the dentist applies the local anesthesia, he or she makes an incision in the gumline in order to gain access to the jawbone. The bone is then prepared and the implant is inserted into the jawbone with care and precision. The dentist then sutures the gums and prescribes the appropriate medication. In certain cases, Plate Implants are immediately fitted with the restoration without waiting for the osseointegration period.
The last type of implant is the Subperiosteal Implant. These implants are utilized when the jawbone has receded to the point where it no longer supports a permanent implant. These implants are placed on top of the bone and imbedded in the gums, but not in the jawbone as with other types of implants. The dentist applies a local anesthesia and makes a mold of the mouth and jawbone. From this impression, a dental lab constructs implants to custom fit the patient's jaw. On the second visit to the dentist, the dentist exposes the jawbone and inserts the implant on top of it. Over the next month the gums grow up and around the implant. This same type of implant can sometimes be performed in a single procedure with the use of an initial CAT scan of the gumline and jawbone.
Strong, durable and natural in appearance, implants are among the most successful dental procedures performed.
Normally, the bone tissue surrounding the root of your tooth is maintained by your body's natural renewal process. However, if you loose a tooth, you will be left with a hole where your tooth root used to be and the bone around this area will slowly begin to disappear (atrophy) and may change the shape of your jaw. A dental implant placed in that area can actually stimulate bone growth and production, preventing loss of valuable bone structure. In some patients where bone loss is substantial a bone graft may be required before placing a dental implant. Bone loss is a problem for people who have dentures and as the shape of the jaw slowly changes the dentures need to be adjusted or re-made to fit the new shape of the jaw. Bone loss can also make a person look older since the area around the mouth can sag as bone is lost.
Once dental implants are fully integrated into you jaw they function just as well as your own natural teeth and you can eat the foods you want and speak with complete confidence. With dentures, eating hard foods such as an apple can be a problem, either the dentures come loose or patients cannot withstand the hard biting forces as they cause pain in the gums. Irritation and inflammation of the gums is a common problem amongst denture patients. Dentures can be supported by implants or mini-implants which will improve function greatly enabling patients to eat the foods they want with complete confidence and not having to worry about bone loss and loose dentures falling out.
When replacing missing teeth with dental bridges, the teeth adjacent to the gap need to be prepared and healthy tooth structure is removed to accommodate a crown or bridge abutment to fit over the top of the tooth. In the future if one of the supporting teeth is damaged the entire bridge restoration will also be compromised whereas with an implant the restoration is independent of any of your other teeth. By replacing lost teeth with an implant, no support is required of the adjacent teeth, and hence your natural teeth do not need to be prepared or altered in any way.
Traditionally an implant placed into your bone supports a single crown and this is know as a "single tooth implant". However if you have several missing teeth you do not necessarily need an implant for every missing tooth, one implant can support several teeth via a bridge or a denture. The number of implants required depends on the volume and density of bone tissue available at each implant site. Often smaller sized "mini implants" are used to secure dentures in place.
In the case of full mouth reconstructions where an arch of several teeth (10+) need to be supported in either the upper or lower jaw a minimum of 5-6 implants in each jaw would be required. The exact number of implants needed would depend on the individual case and your implant surgeon would be able to advise you on the best solution after a through examination and assessment.

Bayern Munich Director Salihamidzic On Inter Linked David Alaba: "He May Leave"
Bayern Munich sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has admitted to being unsure as to whether a contract renewal will be able to be agreed with defender David Alaba.
The Austrian national team player, who has spent the past 12 years with the reigning Bundesliga champions and current Champions League holders, has just a few months left on his contract with his contract set to expire at the end of the season.
As per various reports, there have been multiple rounds of negotiations but no agreement over a new deal has been found and Salihamidzic has reaffirmed that the latest contract renewal offer to the 28-year-old has been pulled from the table.
"I don't know if we will still be able to find a common solution. Now we have to deal with the reality, which is that David may leave," Salihamidzic explained in an interview with German broadcaster Sky Sport Deutschland, earlier on today.
"We have decided to withdraw our offer, we will not make any more proposals to the player. He is an important element of our squad, is of great value to us and we all appreciate him but we are all professionals.
"When you lose a champion like that on a free transfer, it's always the worst case."
Inter, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with potentially moving for Alaba as of late given his expiring contract status.

Telstra chairman blasts NBN as consumer watchdog queries basic tier pricing
The chairman of Telstra says the internet in Australia would be faster and cheaper if the $50 billion NBN had never been built.

Australian broadband: Aussie Internet speed has dropped in global rankings
Australia's average broadband speed now sits below nine developing countries.
NBN Co has attracted the consumer watchdog's attention for the third week in a row.Source:Supplied
The chairman of Telstra has savaged the National Broadband Network as a costly mistake.
John Mullen told shareholders at Telstra's annual general meeting on Tuesday that Australians could have enjoyed 100 megabit-per-second internet speeds even if the NBN had never been built.
"It is always easier to comment with the benefit of hindsight, but it is my view that over the last 10 years private sector competition between strong players such as Telstra, Optus, TPG and others was always going to build 100Mbps broadband access and speed to the majority of the population of Australia, in an ongoing competitive landscape and at no cost whatsoever to the taxpayer," Mr Mullen said, according to IT News.
"Governments could then have decided how much subsidy they were willing to provide the industry to extend this coverage to regional and rural areas where private sector economics were unattractive.
"This would have been at a fraction of the cost of today's NBN.
"Instead, however, in the NBN we have created a state-owned monopoly that is going to cost the country more than $50 billion."
Mr Mullen also called for the wholesale prices Telstra and other telcos pay to NBN Co in order to resell network access to their customers to be dropped.

"Australia already has some of the highest wholesale broadband pricing in the world, and if this trend continues, over time most resellers of the NBN will withdraw or go broke," Mr Mullen said.
"The downside of this in turn will be fewer service providers and ultimately higher broadband prices to the consumer."
It comes a day after the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission announced an inquiry into the lowest tier NBN plans.
RELATED: Mobile network Telstra will axe
The basic NBN plans offer download speeds up to 12Mbps, with up to 1Mbps upload speeds.
These speeds are roughly equivalent to what you'd experience on an ADSL connection, but they don't come at ADSL prices.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has now announced an inquiry into whether the prices NBN Co charges to telcos to access the network need to be changed for basic plans to allow a smoother transition for customers joining the network who can't afford or don't want a higher speeds.

Customers have 18 months to switch to the NBN once it becomes available in their area.
"We have concerns that NBN Co's wholesale pricing has resulted in unfair outcomes for those consumers who have no need for, or do not want, higher speed plans," ACCC chairman Rod Sims said.
"Most consumers have no choice but to migrate to the NBN if they want to keep their home service active, but are at risk of not being able to obtain a comparable NBN service at a similar price to their ADSL service."
The ACCC raised concerns about basic speed wholesale pricing earlier this year, after changes to wholesale pricing prompted many telcos to drop their 12Mbps plans entirely.
Earlier this month, NBN Co introduced a modified version of the entry-level bundle, which an NBN spokesperson said "provides retail service providers (RSPs) with the flexibility to develop affordable 12/1 broadband plans for a similar price to legacy products".
But the ACCC is also concerned about the company's use of discounts to adjust wholesale pricing, which can be withdrawn ahead of a notice period that NBN Co sets itself.
The commission expressed concern this didn't provide telcos with enough stability.
"This lack of certainty creates unnecessary risks that may ultimately be passed on to consumers, who may face higher prices and reduced quality and product offerings as a result," Mr Sims said.
RELATED: NBN Co smacked down over price differences
An NBN spokesperson said the company would publish a "rolling two-year road map" of future pricing for all wholesale speed tiers to provide telcos and customers greater security.
The inquiry announcement marks the third consecutive week the ACCC has set its sights on the company in charge of delivering Australia's national broadband network.
When asked about the consumer watchdog's recent heightened interest, an NBN spokesperson said the company remains "committed to working with the industry to improve customer experience and service, and will always work constructively with the ACCC to help achieve this".
"We welcome any additional options the ACCC may identify through its Access Pricing Inquiry to promote competition and the interests of customers, while allowing NBN Co the opportunity to grow its revenues and reinvest in the network."

At least there's an Italian guy thrown into that mix for variety.


Sydney grew up in the Lanarkshire village of Cleland. He was known around the village as the boy whistler and soprano. His talent was recognised by Kathleen Garscadden of "Children's Hour" who got him a spot on television in London, that was followed by eight years touring with the White Heather Group. Sydney often found himself on the road with the late Alex Harvey, the singer who was to form the sensational Alex Harvey Band. A guy in the group Joe Moretti, raised his interest in country music and soon he was performing country songs himself. On a visit to South Africa, Sydney was heard by a record producer who offered him a contract. That record contract found an outlet in this country and thus began Sydney's recording career. Sydney is now a Top-Selling British Country music performer selling over five million albums.

Home / news / Sunshine Hospital, Gachibowli – First in Telugu States to perform "Modified Capanna's technique" Successfully on A Yemeni Patient
Hyderabad 11 Jan 2020 : Sunshine Hospital, achieves yet another milestone by successfully performing a "Modified Capanna's technique" – for femur bone loss, First to perform in Telugu States. "We are a leading Multi-speciality hospital of India and Asia's largest joint replacement centre to maintain a 'patient first' approach to healthcare" said Dr.A.V.Gurava Reddy, Managing Director and Chief Joint Replacement Surgeon at Sunshine Group of Hospitals.
Suaad Ahmed Hamed 24 Yrs suffered a bomb blast in 2014 at Yemen. She had Left Femur fracture with around 15cms bone loss and was operated twice at Yemen In 2015. She had implant failure and was unable to walk since then. She approached Sunshine Hospital, Gachibowli in the month of October 2019. Necessary investigations were done and the diagnosis was made and the infection was ruled out.
"Usually such type of bone losses are seen only in major road accidents and bomb blasts" Dr. Gurava Reddy further added in a press meet held today.
"There are various methods like distraction osteogenesis and Masquelet's technique to treat such conditions but these take prolonged treatment and require multistage procedures" said Dr. Vasudeva Juvvadi, Orthopaedic Surgeon at Sunshine Hospital, Gachibowli. He finally decided to perform "Modified Capanna's technique" which is a definitive single stage reconstruction using a combination of free vascularised fibular graft with allograft.
"Allograft (femur bone) was brought from bone bank in Bangalore and vascularised fibula was taken from the patient with the support of Plastic Surgeons Dr Ravichander Rao and Dr Venkatesh. Fibula was pegged into the allograft and was placed in the gap of bone loss and fixed with plate and vascular anastomoses was done. Surgery was successfully performed on 26th November 2019. It took 10 hrs for the whole surgery" said Dr.Vasudeva Juvvadi & Dr.P.Rajashekar.
"The patient will start walking with the help of walker from 3 weeks post-surgery without putting weight on the operated leg. Progressive weight bearing will be initiated after 6 weeks and full weight bearing will be done after 3 months. The average time for bone union will be 6 months" he further added.

President Lincoln stood at the battlefield at Gettysburg and declared that that ground had been consecrated by the blood of the brave men who struggled there. For centuries valiant Americans have struggled, bled, and died in defense of freedom and the values for which this nation stands. As a result, there are hallowed places across the world that have been consecrated by the blood of those who have fought for liberty and justice.
At places such as Flanders Field, Normandy Beach, northern Africa, Somalia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Eastern Europe, Central America, Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as on the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, Americans have made the ultimate sacrifice and have thereby consecrated those sites.
As a combat commander who led a rifle platoon into battle, I especially want to acknowledge the more than 58,000 young Americans who laid down their lives in the effort to enable others to live in freedom. I've walked in the mountains and valleys of that farflung part of the world, on ground consecrated by brave warriors. Let us never forget them or the thousands of others who have who have given all for us.
I arrived in Vietnam in the fall of 1971, fresh from a year and a half tour in Germany in the First Infantry Division. After a brief orientation, I was given my orders, handed my gear, loaded onto a helicopter, and flown out to the mountains west of DaNang, a reluctant warrior whose mission was to command 35 young men who were equally as reluctant.
As the chopper landed on the mountainside, I noticed several soldiers running toward us. "They're happy to see me," I thought. It didn't take me long to realize that they were rushing to unload the rations and mail from the Huey.
I slid out rather ingloriously, stepped onto the skid, and, holding onto my helmet and struggling to get my rucksack properly adjusted, asked the first GI that I encountered to take me to Sergeant Garlic, the platoon sergeant.
Sergeant Mike Garlic, a 3-tour combat veteran, was to become my right hand, an experienced and tested NCO upon whom I learned to lean.
It was in that moment that I realized that I had been given a new moniker. Men didn't salute or call you sir in the jungle, because Charlie liked to target officers. L.T. was fine with me.
After the Huey had been unloaded and our position secured again, I began to meet the men of my platoon. They were a diverse bunch who had little in common except for a shared mission and a shared hardship, and the fact that virtually every one of them had been drafted, as had I. This assemblage of soldiers was a cross-section of America – every corner of the country, every ethnicity, every political persuasion. There were southerners such as Jimmy from Alabama and our machine gunner, Mike, from Louisiana. There were northerners like Bob, from Pennsylvania, and another grunt that we all knew simply as Linebarger. There were even two E5s from California who had been in graduate school.
Our mission was to disrupt the supply caravans that traveled the Ho Chi Minh Trail from North Vietnam into the south. We patrolled each day, setting up ambushes in areas of suspected activity. Before dark we circled into our night defensive perimeter and braced for attack.
When we moved each day we had to cut a trail through the jungle undergrowth. Yet, as difficult as were our circumstances, these young men went about their duties without grumbling or complaining. We knew how much we needed to hang together for survival.
For the next several months the first platoon of Alpha Company, First of the Forty-sixth Infantry, slogged through the jungles, slept in two-man defensive positions, engaged the enemy, and battled the elements – monsoon rains, snakes and leeches. As we patrolled together, fought side by side, and for three days each month partied together in the rear, we grew to be a unit, and I grew to admire and respect every young man in my command. I felt honored to lead them.
One episode in particular reminds me of the indomitable spirit of the American fighting man. Early one October morning, we were all startled by the thud of an anti-personnel mine, then realized with horror that it was Bob Maggs, our radio operator, who had caught the trip wire. Bob died before we could get him evacuated by helicopter. This nineteen-year-old soldier left behind a wife he had hardly gotten to know before he shipped out to the other side of the world.
After we regrouped, I began asking for volunteers to carry the platoon radio, one of the toughest and most dangerous assignments. I was amazed by the number of volunteers.
If I heard it once, I heard it a dozen times.
These were brave young men with whom I was privileged to serve. They were heroes. Represented by men like Bob Maggs and 58,000 other names on a granite wall in Washington, along with thousands more who came home to a less-than-grateful nation, they were and are America's finest. I salute you – and every veteran of every era. Welcome home.
You know that you lied.
All the stories today concerning your military record are quoting your sources as saying that you "misspoke" when you stated that you served in VietNam. Here in the south we don't use such a euphemism. We simply say, "you lied."
To speak or pronounce incorrectly: The lead actor misspoke his lines.
Now, applying this definition, the best that can be said of you is that you are an actor playing the part of an actual veteran of VietNam. But the stakes are too great for any candidate to be playing the part of someone they're not. In your case, you're not a veteran of VietNam, but rather than misspeaking about you military experience, you simply and knowing lied.
As a peer from that same era, I can certainly understand the value of the deferments that so many sought, myself included. I was a college student at the height of the war, with a 2A student deferment, but unfortunately I flunked out of college in 1968 and was drafted. Already married, I was sworn into the Army on the day my daughter turned 3 months old. I tried to convince the local draft board that I should be granted some other kind of deferment as a husband and father, but my pleas fell on deaf ears.
While in basic training at Fort Knox, I applied for and was accepted into both officer candidate school and flight school. Upon graduation from OCS I was given orders to Germany, where I served for 18 months in an infantry battalion as a mortar then a recon platoon leader. Then, in the summer of 1971, the Army decided that my services were needed in Southeast Asia, so I relocated my family back to our home town and off I shipped to command a rifle platoon in the mountainous jungles west of DaNang. Later I was reassigned to command the battalion heavy mortar platoon.
In the late spring of 1972 the adjutant's office called me in to discuss my future. They offered to promote me to captain and give me my own company to command in exchange for extending my tour by six months in country. If I didn't accept this offer, I could go home a couple of months early. I chose the latter, and don't regret it one bit.
That's my story. I was there. I served alongside some of the finest young men I've ever been privileged to know. Most of my platoon were conscripts who weren't able to obtain deferments or arrange a reserve assignment. They served bravely and honorably and most came home under their own power. Not all did.
Your deceit dishonors their service, and the service of the thousands of young Americans who have served in combat.
To quote a song from our era, "You know that you lied. You lied, you lied, lied, lied, lied." So, spare us the euphemisms, sir.
One thing is for certain: storms will come. I was reminded of this just today when I ran into a dear friend outside the post office. Jack was my neighbor for nearly ten years, but before and since he has been a great friend. Jack is one of the kindest, most soft-spoken people I know. He genuinely cares for others, and has the heart of a servant. Just a couple of years ago Jack lost an eye to cancer, and today he told me that it appears that the cancer may have spread to his liver. He asked for prayer - especially this Friday morning as he undergoes a biopsy procedure.
We got to talking about the storms of life, and Jack reminded me of the sermon he heard just two Sundays ago about how Jesus calmed the storm that arose on the sea of Galilee. And not only did he calm the storm, he calmed his frantic followers as well.
This gave me an opportunity to share with Jack a personal experience of being in a storm. Twenty years ago I had emergency surgery to remove my colon - yes, the entire length of it. I learned later that it had perforated and that I was in really bad shape. In fact, my surgeon gave me less than a 50/50 chance of surviving.
At that very moment a peaceful calm settled over me and I had this undeniable sense that I was not alone in this room. I never heard a voice, but I believe that Jesus himself was standing at the head of my bed, and the message I heard within was, "Child, I'm here with you. What I have in store for you is beyond description, and someday you'll be with me in eternity. But, it's not today. I will be here with you as you recover. I'm not through with you yet."
As I related this to Jack I felt the sting of tears in my eyes, and noticed that his own good eye was moist as well. I assured him of my prayers, and also told him I'd share his concern with others and ask them to pray also.
So, please pray for my friend Jack, and his wife, Deborah. Ask God to remind Jack that he is not alone and that the Lord will give him the strength and the peace that he needs.
"Lord, like the song says, 'Sometimes you calm the storm. Other times you calm the child.' May your perfect peace fall on Jack and Deborah as they face this storm. And, if I might be so bold, I'd ask you to heal him of this affliction, in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen."
Commanding an airmobile infantry platoon in Vietnam changed my life - for the better. So has my marriage of 45 years, my four children, and 8 grands. I'm just a clay pot, full of cracks and imperfections. But inside dwells a perfect treasure.

Parkland Regional Waste Management Authority Inc. came into being in 2001. The associate members met at a R.M. spring meeting in Canora and then an informational meeting in Kamsack. It was decided to elect a interim board and work on a constitution and by-laws. Soon after PRWMA was incorporated as a not for profit society and the by-laws and constitution was accepted and passed by all members. We have grown somewhat from the original group. We now serve approximately 10,000 square kilometers and a population of about 13000.
We will make the cost of collecting all waste more reasonable and divert all recyclables away from the waste stream.
We will decommission the many unacceptable garbage dumps as they become unusable under the direction of Saskatchewan Environment. We will construct permitted central landfills to serve the entire area we cover. We will divert the projected 50% of waste that is recyclable to the depots.
PRWMA owns 150 paper fiber bins located over our area. A contractor empties all bins every ten days. The material collected is taken to a central facility located in the Town of Kamsack. It is sorted into three grades of recyclable material and then baled. The facility in Kamsack employs six full time part time employees including a manager.
We presently only collect bale and sell paper fiber. We will continue to expand and look after the other materials (plastic, tin and glass) as their markets improve.
Presently all paper firer is salable. The price fluctuates and there is no certainty in its value. The expected stewardship program to be instituted by Saskatchewan Environment in April of 2006 will solve the difficulties with the paper market. This same multi material stewardship program should address all the difficulties we encounter.
PRWMA advises all members of each meeting date and agenda and with minutes of the previous meeting. All members are welcome at our monthly board meetings and can bring to our attention any difficulties or concerns they have. Our board members and administrator are also available by phone or email.
Our annual general meeting also makes available all of our previous years activities and any future plans we have may propose.
The following list is comprised of all the communities in our area. Those in black are not members but still do contribute to the amount of paper fiber we process. There is also information about the number and location of recycle bins. Population served is approximately 13000.
Our present board is comprised of the following; they are elected at the annual general meeting for a one year term. If for some reason they leave their respective council that council must submit another member to finish the term.

Mom's Night Out and Church Membership
November 27, 2007 Kevin Larson
We have been walking through a study in our Community Groups through Mark Dever's great book, What Is A Healthy Church? One thing we will be emphasizing quite a bit is the importance of committed, local church membership. Last night, I was reminded of the importance of joining hands with a local body of believers. Amy led another Karis Women's Conversation last night (ironically about Contentment in a Worried World). Before that seven o'clock meeting, she had dinner with her best pal, Jeanna, at 5:30 at Chevy's. That, of course, means that I was at home with three kids under four for quite a long time. Well, the first thing nights like that do for me is remind me of how amazing my lovely wife is. She handles the three of them with such love and grace. Second, and related, it reminds me of how much I need to grow. I honestly can't handle it very well. People who say that stay-at-home moms don't work obviously haven't tried it. As much as I love my children, it is very difficult. Add to the normal struggles with three kids under four is the fact that our infant Kylen has some serious stomach issues that leave him crying very much of the time. In fact, last night he cried from about 5:20, when she left, until at least 7:30. It was crazy. I am not nearly patient and loving and godly enough to handle it all without a near meltdown.
But, third, it reminded me, once again, of why it's so important to be a member of a healthy church. Amy told me once of a quote from a book on women's ministry, where one lady said, "I used to be patient until I had kids." The author, however, corrected her and said, "No, you just never had your patience tested." Now, ask my elders, and they'll tell you for sure-- I'm not a very patient person. So I can't claim that, period. But it's far easier for me to be patient when I'm sitting downtown, as I am now, in Panera, typing on my computer. It's much harder to practice that fruit of the Spirit when I am holding a screaming 2 month year old and when I have two other kids fighting over a toy.
What, then, does this have to do with church membership? It's easy to say we love God's people, that we're growing in patience, and that we are seeking kindness in theory or without commitment. In other words, at the worst, we may not have opportunities to practice the fruit of the Spirit at all. At best, we may practice them in a random way with a hodge-podge of Christians to whom we aren't held accountable and from whom we could run at any time.
Church membership is messy. It isn't far from 3 children kicking and screaming at times. But it is beautiful. I wouldn't trade hugs and kisses from my kids, Hadley, Melia, and Kylen, for anything in the world. Similarily, the church is the most beautiful thing on earth. Christ's redemption shines through people gathered together to share hurts and joys. And, those standing on the outside have no idea what we're really talking about. That's because it's love, patience, and kindness that hasn't been tested.

Q: Android Storage Locations Can someone explain in detail about the various storage locations in Android,

*

*/sdcard/ (along with /root/ directory and other system-level directory)

*/storage/emulated/0/

*/storage/emulated/legacy/

*/storage/sdcard0/

Really confused with these? And are there any methods to access them programatically whenever needed?

A: I can't speak for storage paths on all phones. But I can explain you clearly with respect to my phone; Coolpad Note 3 - running on Android 5.1. Because, the storage locations or paths may vary on other mobile phones depending on your vendor/manufacturer and different versions of Android OS.
Generally, /someDirectory or /root/someDirectory or >root>someDirectory are same. Which among them is picked to display; depends on your file manager.
On my phone:
/root/sdcard is storage path to  phone's internal memory(16 GB in my case).
Both /storage/emulated/0/ and /storage/sdcard0/ are symlinks to /root/sdcard. It means, these two paths are also storage paths of my phone's internal memory.
/storage/sdcard1/ is storage path of my micro SD card.
On ANY phone:
Before Android 4.2, only one user could user your phone. There was no concept of two or more users creating separate profiles and logging into the same phone.
As a result, there were no such paths like /storage/emulated/someDirectory
The emulated directories came up after the introduction of multiuser API in Android 4.2.
Source: source 1 and source 2
So from then,
/storage/emulated/legacy/ points to External Storage(Android terminology) of the currently working user. It would be a symlink.
/storage/emulated/anyNumber/ points to External Storage(Android terminology) of a specific user.
On my phone: I have two users.
internal memory location for user1 (Ramesh) is: /storage/emulated/0/
internal memory location for user2 (Kishore) is: /storage/emulated/10/
So /storage/emulated/legacy/ would point to /storage/emulated/0/ if user1(Ramesh) logs in & uses the phone. In this case, /storage/emulated/legacy/ would be a symlink to /storage/emulated/0/
And /storage/emulated/legacy/ would point to /storage/emulated/10/ if user2(Kishore) logs in & uses the phone. In this case, /storage/emulated/legacy/ would be a symlink to /storage/emulated/10/
If you want to know more about storage paths, please go through this answer on android.stackexchange.com
I specifically mentioned External Storage(Android terminology) above. Because, the Internal and External Storage terminology according to Google/official Android documentation is quite different to that of normal Android OS user.


Washington(CNN) Journalists weren't the only ones shut out from the Environmental Protection Agency's conference this week on chemically contaminated drinking water. Many victims of water polluted by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances were also left out, and are struggling to get clear answers about the dangers to their communities.
The EPA's PFAS National Leadership Summit landed in the spotlight because the Trump administration has withheld a Department of Health and Human Services report on the chemicals' health risks, and because the agency blocked some reporters, including from CNN, from covering a speech by EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt. After an Associated Press reporter was physically shoved out of the building, the EPA allowed reporters to attend about four hours of the two-day conference.
A list of invited organizations provided by the EPA, as well as CNN's conversations with multiple attendees, turned up just two representatives of local advocacy groups who received invitations. Experts have said millions of Americans live in communities where PFAS contamination is a problem.
Multiple attendees, including several from environmental groups that have questioned Pruitt's actions at the EPA, described the meeting to CNN as primarily attended by state and federal regulators. They noted a chemical industry official gave one of the opening presentations, and several voiced frustration that victims' voices were not given a similar platform.
"Many of the communities that have been impacted were not represented," said Scott Faber of the Environmental Working Group. "I think what you missed with that is you missed the sense of urgency that these families are feeling."
Faber said conference organizers could have highlighted "the voices of people who have been directly impacted by these chemicals, just to remind the regulators that there are real people who are being directly impacted."
Several individuals who did not get in described their efforts to reach out to the EPA. Shaina Kasper of the Toxics Action Center said members of a national PFAS coalition she coordinates had written to the agency and their congressional delegation asking for invites. Laurene Allen, a counselor who became concerned about water contamination and co-founded Merrimack Citizens for Clean Water, signed on to that letter. EPA officials responded that the meeting would be primarily for state regulators -- which she said came off as "patronizing" and discounted her role as a stakeholder.
"Having a seat at the table is very important," Allen said.
Peter Grevatt, director of the EPA's drinking water office, said this week's national meeting would be followed by as many as five regional meetings.
"We do need to hear very clearly from all of the stakeholders as we're working towards this," he told conference attendees.
"I think that's really great that they're going to do the stakeholder meetings," said Ansje Miller with the Center for Environmental Health. But, she added, "I don't think that at all dismisses the concerns that folks weren't allowed in the meeting in the first place."
"It just doesn't seem right to exclude the perspective of people who are actually facing this issue on a day-to-day basis," Amico said.
She co-founded the group in response to toxins linked to a former Air Force facility in coastal New Hampshire, and realizes that her counterparts in other communities are skeptical the federal government will step up. But she was encouraged by Pruitt's pledge to develop legal concentration limits for the chemicals and she said of the EPA, "They deserve, in my opinion, the benefit of the doubt."
Mayor Rob Allen of Hoosick Falls, a music teacher who ran for office in his New York town after the discovery of contamination from nearby industrial sites, called the PFAS issue "exceedingly important to our village." Last week, the top EPA official in his region told him he could attend, but Allen said people at home also wanted to watch.
"The first day of the summit, the first hour -- and only the first hour -- was available via livestream, and that irked people in our community, because they wanted to see the whole thing," he said. Blood testing showed PFAS concentration levels in his body above the national average, and his children had around twice the level of concentration he has, Allen said.
The presentation from the American Chemistry Council at the meeting "kind of came across as an infomercial for the great new ways they are using these chemicals," he said.
At the conference, the American Chemistry Council's Jessica Bowman touted the industry's "innovation" in developing new products, which she said "have significantly improved hazard profiles compared to the legacy products."
"Today's PFAS are critical and continue to enable a myriad of applications that are vital to the US and the global economy," Bowman said.
During his tenure, the EPA turned down a petition to strengthen its ban on the controversial pesticide chlorpyrifos, which some scientists believe is linked to nervous system issues but its manufacturer has defended as safe. The agency blocked chemical safety rules developed under the Obama administration following the 2013 fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, that killed 15 people. And recently released internal emails show the HHS report into PFAS has been held from public release since January, when a White House official voiced concern the release could be a "potential public relations nightmare."
Breysse spoke at a panel that also included the only presentation by a member of a nongovernmental group advocating for clean water. Erik Olson, of the Natural Resources Defense Council, told CNN later that he had "never seen the routine exclusion of the public" from an EPA event like this, but that it was "entirely consistent" with the Pruitt approach to similar meetings.
"I'm going to give the EPA the opportunity to make good on the promises they made in this summit," said Amico of Testing for Pease. "If they don't, the community will hold them accountable."
Here's the roster of conference attendees, as provided by the EPA.

The fortress of Sao José da Ponta Grossa is distant 25 miles from the center of Florianopolis, in Santa Catarina Island.
Strategically located on a hill, framed by the beauty of the cliffs and white sandy beach of Forte, was the third vertex of the triangular system of defense.
Most of its buildings completed its restoration in the second half of the 90s. Between them, the most significant is the Commander´s House, curiously detached building to the locker Gunpowder, forming the only set in place with two floors.
The strength and sobriety of generating composition of the main courtyard, designed by the colonial mansion and the austere chapel, and reflect the importance and interrelation of the powers of state and church in the eighteenth century.
In addition to own the Federal University of Santa Catarina, which organizes tours to students and scholars, private companies operate tours to fortresses which are located on islands (Grande Anhatomirim and Mice).
The tours are done in schooners and the flagship company of the branch is the South Scuna Even outside the summer season there are daily tours at different times and on-board service. Besides these services, dinghies are found in various beaches and to Lagoa da Conceicao walks nearby.


Nutrient Dense Foods: Eating for Optimal Health!
How nutrient dense is YOUR food supply?
In order for our bodies to thrive, we need to ensure that the food we eat was fed properly as well. Depleted soils, pesticide use, and factory farming all contribute to foods being deficient in vital nutrients, as well as overloading our bodies with chemicals. What we eat determines our health!
"You are what you eat" needs to be carried to the next level. Consider instead: "You are what your metabolism can do with what you eat."
Chew your food thoroughly. Get in the practice of putting your fork down until you have swallowed your previous bite of food.
Evaluate the quality of food you are putting in your body. Buying "the best of the best" when it comes to nutrients may save money as you will feel satiated with less.
Increase consumption of fat and include fat with every meal. Remember: saturated fat is good for you! Fat consumption is not the cause of weight gain. Carbohydrates and unnatural fats- not healthy, natural fats in your diet- make you fat. It is the higher glycemic index carbohydrates which raise insulin that facilitate weight gain. Focus on combining lower glycemic carbohydrates with a healthy fat: Raw butter, cream and cheese from grassfed cows, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, nuts and seeds, nut butters and olives. For example, combine an apple with a nut butter, a pear with cheese, veggies with butter, etc.
Eat the protein portion of the meal first. This has a very balancing affect and aids in energy conversion and utilization of all your macronutrients.
Keep a meal diary. Note how you feel after consuming nutrients. If you feel hungry, irritable, sleepy or sluggish after you eat, you are likely not giving your body the fuel that it needs to do its job properly.
How do you insure that your body is absorbing and assimilating nutrients?
Please share YOUR healthy living tips!
