Q: working with fifo data on linux using dotnet core I would like to use Linux's fifo-like stream on disk (created by using mkfifo) with C# code (dotnet core). I am looking for examples with using data on disk but I have trouble with finding ones.
I would like to make some modifications of fifo data on disk (e.g. first.raw) and using another tool/task (written in dotnet core) read that fifo and make an another modification and send it to another fifo data (e.g. second.raw) and finally by using third tool/task read that second.raw data modify it and send to another fifo data (e.g. third.raw) to read it by another tool.
Is it possible using dotnet core on Linux? Is there any correct way to do that on Linux (queue, named pipes)?
EDIT
When I am doing this on Ubuntu 18.04 (before running: mkfifo fifoStream.pipe):
FileStream fs = File.OpenWrite( "fifoStream.pipe" );
using (var sw = new StreamWriter(fs))
{
  sw.WriteLine("first line");
  sw.Flush();
}
fs.Close();

and running code it hang up and I have to use ctrl+c to stop execution of the app.

A: I found a solution for Ubuntu 18.04.
As per: https://johnkoerner.com/csharp/IPC-in-net-core-using-protobuf/
This works for my case:
first running "server" code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Starting Server");

    var pipe = new NamedPipeServerStream("fifoStream.pipe", PipeDirection.InOut);
    Console.WriteLine("Waiting for connection....");
    pipe.WaitForConnection();

    Console.WriteLine("Connected");
    pipe.WriteByte(66);
    pipe.Disconnect();
}

then running "client" code:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Starting Client");
    var pipe = new NamedPipeClientStream(".", "fifoStream.pipe", PipeDirection.InOut, PipeOptions.None);
    Console.WriteLine("Connecting");
    pipe.Connect();
    pipe.ReadByte(); //here I receive byte 66

    Console.WriteLine("Done");
}

Google Adds Snapseed-like Photo Editing to Google+ Photos
By Nick Sutrich September 12, 2013, 4:51am
Google+ has been quite possibly the fastest growing social network in history, largely thanks in part to all of the unique services Google includes with the social networking site. Since launching in only June of 2011, Google+ has grown to be the second largest social networking site, and is quickly catching up to the declining Facebook every month. Google's commitment to being the best services company around is only being further solidified by their constant updating of the services, and just this year alone we've seen additions like Hangouts, Auto Awesome Photos, auto hashtags, a complete interface redesign using their card UI and more. Even with all this updating and pure awesomeness, Google isn't content with resting on their laurels like some other social networks out there, but is announcing a new feature today. Following their Snapseed acquisition in September of last year, Google has finally started to make some real implementations of that technology, and today's update brings all new photo editing functionality to the table. For those that have used Google's Picasa in the past, you'll be familiar with the style of tools and the interface of the new photo editing found within Google+.
As you can see from the screenshot above, there are a number of tools you can choose from to give your photo cool filters and effects. Since there are plenty of other services out there that already have excellent filters like Instagram, Google had to take it one step further to make the service unique. That's where the editing tools come in, particularly the selective adjust ones. Selective adjust tools allow you to choose a certain part of a picture, say the sky or a building, and adjust parameters of an image only on that selection. Things like exposure, blurring, center focus and more are all at your disposal as of this most recent Google+ update. Best of all you can do all of this in the browser or the mobile app according to Google's own post about the update on Google+. Google already automatically backs up your photos and will "Auto Awesome" them, as Google calls it. Since Auto Awesome is an automatic image processing tool, adjusting things like sharpness, colors and exposure, these tools will give you a more fine-tuned manual approach. Google will be rolling these out soon, so keep an eye out for the update as it gets pushed out. In the meantime check out the neat little video below that Google put together showing all the awesome new features.

EU states are witnessing an alarming epidemic increase in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and chronic obesity with proportional cost increases and demands on health systems.
CVD alone is estimated to cost the EU 170 Billion per year. Improving health and lowering disease risk through preventative nutritional education is the only credible way to treat this critical issue.
LYCOCARD, a 5 year integrated Project within the 6th Framework Programme, investigates the role of lycopene in the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Started in April 2006, the project aims to identify exactly why lycopene (sourced mostly from tomatoes) may protect EU citizens against these diseases.
LYCOCARD will create new dietary guidelines to be transmitted by partners, Deutsche Herzstiftung (German Heart Foundation) and NUTRIUNIT Rome with obvious benefits for consumers, care systems and the EU tomato industry. First results were presented at the 10th European Nutrition Conference in Paris, 11th July.
See why tomatoes are good!


How often do you toss out produce that isn't super fresh anymore? It feels as if it should still be ok to eat. You just aren't sure what to do with it. I am a zealous farmers market shopper and frequently find myself scrambling to find recipes for produce before it goes bad. Slightly soft tomatoes would be grossly soggy on a sandwich. Instead turn then into a rich burger topping when you make Roasted Garlic Ketchup.
Slightly wilted greens greens like arugula, baby kale, and spinach are transformed into fragrant pesto. I keep to the basics of classic pesto. Some form of garlic is a must. Plus a little splash of something acidic and whatever nuts are in the freezer. Cheese is optional but encouraged. After that I like to mix things up like in this Spinach Cranberry Pesto recipe.
I love dried cranberry sprinkled over a fresh spinach salad. So adding them to a pesto recipe didn't seem too far fetched. Roasted garlic has been the star in my kitchen lately. There was plenty involved when I made my Easy Roast Chicken Quarters recently in order to update the recipe photos. Anytime I bake a savory dish a few bulbs end up in the oven. Might as well right! I also like to add more oil than some recipes call for. You can drain the excess off once the pesto has rested in the fridge overnight. Use it in a vinaigrette or marinade for subtle freshness!
What Kitchen Hacks do you have to save produce that is almost to it's expiration point?
I hope you like this Spinach Cranberry Pesto recipe as much as my crew does. If you love this easy seasonal recipe, you can find more like it by checking out my other pesto recipes! For daily recipe inspiration, subscribe to my newsletter, follow me on Instagram, and for generally inappropriate humor follow like me on Facebook!
Add all ingredients except oil to a food processor. Run on low until well blended, approximately 30 seconds.
Drizzle in oil while food processor is still running until pesto is smooth.
Add pesto to a lidded jar. Drizzle more oil over the top if desired.
Store closed in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
After 1-2 days drain off excess oil for use in vinaigrettes or marinades.

"It's a terrible tragedy for his family and those closet to him. But it's his actions that put him on trial for capital sexual battery and it was his decision to take his own life," said a statement from assistant state attorneys Ryan Felix and Brooke Kernan. "We have zero doubt that he's guilty of sexually abusing these children. Both of these young girls showed great courage in testifying against their abuser at trial."
Just after 6 a.m., North Port police were called to the 7200 block of Beckwith Avenue to reports of an unattended death, according to posts on their social media accounts. The death appeared to be suicide, police said, and was within two blocks of the defendant's home.
Rios was arrested a year ago after the allegations of the one victim came to light. The girl revealed that when she was about 3 years old, sometime in 2015, Rios had forced her to perform oral sex on him.
While Rios was only facing the one charge, detectives learned of a second allegation of sexual abuse involving another one of his foster daughters prior to his arrest.
Both girls took the stand, detailing for the jury in front of Rios, how he sexually abused them and told them not to say anything. The first girl testified Tuesday that Rios told her that if she didn't do what he said she wouldn't be adopted. On Wednesday, the second girl said Rios told her that if she didn't comply with his demands she would go to jail.

Evansville, Henderson labor force: Needs seen in health care, driving, hospitality
John T. Martin
Evansville Courier & Press
There are still plenty of "help wanted" signs posted in the Evansville-Henderson region, and the need for health care providers, truck drivers and restaurant workers remains high.
Some local industries have openings, too, with Toyota Indiana striving to meet its stated goal of having 1,400 more workers building vehicles by 2023.
But overall industrial employment in the region is on an upswing, with much less need in that sector than several months ago. In November 2021, about 1,000 more people were employed in local manufacturing than in November 2020.
That data covers Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey and Gibson counties in Indiana, as well as Henderson County, Kentucky.
More:Q&A with new Visit Evansville CEO Alexis Berggren, the city's new tourism chief
"We certainly saw growth and people coming back into the workplace," said Greg Wathen, president of Evansville Regional Economic Partnership. "Are we where we need to be? Probably not, but we're seeing an uptick in who's employed.
Average annual wages in the region trended up nearly 6% in 2021.
Henderson County sees the same workforce trends as Evansville and the larger region.
"Almost every manufacturer I talk to, business is up, business is good, and pay is up. They're doing well," Judge-Executive Brad Schneider said.
COVID has strained hospitals across the country, and the bistate region needs registered nurses and other health professionals. One plank in Southwestern Indiana's successful application for READI economic stimulus funds is an effort to increase seats in the University of Southern Indiana nursing program.

Those with a commercial drivers license, meanwhile, can find work very quickly in the current environment. Schneider said a CDL is "like a gold bar."
Restaurants in the region continue to need staff, and Wathen said data shows many people have dropped out of that industry.
Schneider said just about every Henderson restaurant he sees "has a hiring sign."
As for Toyota Indiana, which in April announced it is adding 1,400 workers to build two new SUV models, hiring thus far is "on track" to train newcomers and open production in early- to mid-2023, said Tim Hollander, vice president of manufacturing.
Toyota's hiring effort is ongoing, however.
"We have opportunities for folks looking for that next level, that next career opportunity," Hollander said. "We're aggressively hiring and recruiting."
Unemployment rates in the region are microscopic. Vanderburgh County in November checked in at 2.2%.
"We're trying to decide why people are still on the sidelines," Wathen said.

Reports of junk DNA's 'demise' were based on junky logic and dubious definitions
Tom Siegfried | Science News | April 9, 2013
Magnificent organisms capable of composing symphonies, calculating quantum energy levels and dunking basketballs are built from DNA molecules containing 90 percent junk.
At least that was the prevailing biological wisdom until last September. Previous studies of the human genome — the catalog of all human DNA and the genes made from it — showed that most DNA was junk, with no biological importance for the survival of the species. But then came a report in Nature from the ENCODE project (for ENCyclopedia of DNA Elements). It proclaimed that 80 percent of the human genome could be assigned a "biochemical function." News reports heralded the demise of "junk DNA."
Since then, though, some scientists have begun to analyze the ENCODE papers the way ENCODE analyzed the genome, and have reached an entirely different conclusion. Not only is most of the genome junk, it seems, so is the ENCODE analysis. It uses a questionable definition of function and commits various logical fallacies in applying it, contend Dan Graur of the University of Houston and several collaborators.

I have a patient who had 3 dental implants restored on three teeth on the upper left side. His dentist at the time decided to keep the 3 teeth connected so that when placed, all 3 crowns were cemented as one piece.
Last year one of the porcelain facings fell off in a place where bonding some filling material would be nearly impossible. The goal is to give the patient something more esthetic without having to remove the implant crowns. That is a difficult task, and the crown in question for him was the middle one. One solution is to drill on the crown itself to make room for a zirconium overlay type crown. In a week or so when the crown comes back from the lab the crown can be cemented and all should be fine. It's a surprisingly simple technique and works very well. This can also be utilized with large spans of bridge work when something is chipped. It should be more stable than the current products for porcelain repair with composite.


Hong Kong based French artist L1ES ONE held an opening party for his exhibition titled "LE GRAFF1T1 C'EST CH1C" at M1NT on Thursday night. The show included a series of canvases, but the real stars were the tags and pieces he created on the club's interior. Showing the eye of a true graffiti artist, L1ES attacked key surfaces within the club. M1NT deserves credit for not flinching, and giving him carte-blanche to write on whatever objects he chose, including their precious shark tank pictured above.
Walking into the club, I had flashbacks to public school seeing the staircase leading up to the club covered entirely in graffiti!
By the time I arrived, the opening was packed. The crowd was a mixture of people in the art scene, friends of the artist, and M1NT's normal members.
The canvases on the wall pictured images of women and then often an abstraction of the same image.
I've seen him do this previously in his show at the now defunct Six Keyz gallery in Chai Wan. There were also outlines of female figures in some of his pieces on the walls.
DJ Samir and DJ Doze were providing a fitting soundtrack for the night.
Playing sets of Hip Hop, they were employing the quick-cut style of mixing, going into a new song nearly every minute. I heard a few great tracks that I haven't listened to for a long time, including The Bush Babies "Remember We".
After an hour socializing and checking out the work I was on my way. Thursday was a busy night and I had three more events to attend!

Thanks L1ES! I've corrected the post.

Earnings from Deceased Writers
Where does the money go?
According to Wikipedia "the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years" depending where in the world you live. But what exactly happens to the proceeds made from literary works after the author has died? In most cases it is attributed to family members or spouses but that can become a murky area with extended family, divorce, remarriages etc; unless there is a will left by the writer that says otherwise. And even then I'm sure there would be some one to challenge it.
I was reading a recent issue of the Smithsonian where Keenan Mayo briefly discussed the family feud over Emily Dickinson's writings and it struck me as odd how long this in-fighting has gone on. The woman has been dead since 1886! And what happens when the fighting is going on? The income from dead authors doesn't just wait around until the lawful heir is decided.
Personally, I think that after the first generation that money made from the works of an author should go into a fund of some kind to help up and coming fresh writers, as in a grant; or to start a literary program in the author's name. And what about after the copyright has expired? Technically, anyone can republish the work and make money from it. If copyright must end for the author and family, why shouldn't the literary community as a whole benefit from these works. Especially in a time when art programs, literary festivals, and the like are being cancelled for lack of funding (NOT lack of interest) because it lacks priority in the big picture. Recently it was announced in Ottawa the city was cutting all it's funding by 100% for author's grants and literary festivals leaving these programs that have previously thrived because of the aid to fend for themselves.
I realize it would be incredibly difficult to institute a plan like this but I can dream can't I. What about you, what would you like to see happen with the works from deceased authors and the money earned from their projects?

Outre-Tombe "Nécrovortex" LP Black
Second Pressing
Black vinyl LP, 3mm jacket, insert
(Description by J. Campbell)
After three years of deathlike silence, Québécois death metal adepts Outre-Tombe return with Nécrovortex, their second album of grotesque graveyard anthems. To the band's credit, Outre-Tombe have not attempted to flood the underground with useless releases; over the course of their eight-year existence, the band has released a single demo and two albums, all of which are meticulously written, performed, and recorded. This methodical approach to their work is part of what sets Outre-Tombe apart from the majority of their peers. With this album, Outre-Tombe continue to sharpen their sound, which faithfully captures the essence of late 80s and early 90s death metal. Outre-Tombe's influences are no secret—they clearly draw inspiration from bands such as Grave, Nihilist, Asphyx, and Pestilence—but rattling off a list of classic death metal influences doesn't do justice to the impact that Outre-Tombe achieve with their music, a sound that is as relentless as it is morbid. The songs on Nécrovortex are generally aggressive and pummeling, leaving the listener with little or no respite from the assault, but even at breakneck speed, there's a compositional intricacy on display. These songs reveal the aural machinations of horror and death through riffs that are coordinated, precisely carved and chiseled, and surgically sutured together, tightly, with no room for error. The production is just crisp enough to allow the instrumentation to stand out, permitting the listener to grasp the many memorable riffs around which each track is constructed. The vocals are also unique. Bassist and vocalist Crachat captures the guttural essence of the French language with his vocals, disgorged and spewed across the tracks. Like every element of the band's sound, the vocals are insistent, commanding attention. Lyrically, the band focuses on horror and the macabre, but with a rare degree of sophistication. For those capable of deciphering French, the imagery conjured by the lyrics is extraordinarily vivid and perfectly suited for the music. Completing the overall presentation of Nécrovortex is cover art masterfully created by Matt "Putrid" Carr. It is, therefore, with tremendous honor that Temple of Mystery Records presents Outre-Tombe's second offering on black vinyl, as well as a limited die-hard colored vinyl edition.

Company Profiles IPOs
What does the underwriter do in a new stock offering?
By Investopedia
The underwriter in a new stock offering serves as the intermediary between the company seeking to issue shares in an initial public offering (IPO) and investors. The underwriter helps the company prepare for the IPO, considering issues such as the amount of money sought to be raised, the type of securities to be issued, and the agreement between the underwriter and the company.
The underwriting agreement can take a number of different shapes. The most common type of underwriting agreement is a firm commitment in which the underwriter agrees to assume the risk of buying the entire inventory of stock issued in the IPO and sell to the public at the IPO price. Often, there is a group of underwriters for an IPO that shares in the risk for the offering, called the syndicate.
The investment bank then files a Form S-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), outlining the business of the company, the planned use for the capital raised by the IPO, the basics of the IPO and any legal issues the company may have. The SEC then has a cooling-off period when it investigates to ensure all material information about the IPO has been disclosed.
The underwriter then creates a draft prospectus to take on a road show to potential institutional investors. The road show seeks to create excitement for the IPO and involves conferences given to investors around the country. After the road show, the underwriter and company determine of the final price for the IPO based on the orders received during the road show. Then, the syndicate allocates shares to investors. The final step is the first day of trading, when the investing public can first buy the stock on an exchange.

Riverhounds Jump Past Eagles
USL PRO Game Report
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Pittsburgh Riverhounds moved into a tie for eighth place in the USL PRO standings as Miroslav Cabrilo scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory against the Charlotte Eagles on Friday night at Queens Sports Complex. The Riverhounds are now level on 32 points with the Rochester Rhinos, with two games remaining in the regular season, while the Eagles sit two points back in 10th place.
The game started with a number of good opportunities for the Eagles in the first 10 minutes. The first came to Fred Sekyere when he took a cross from Zak Boggs in the sixth minute, but Pittsburgh goalkeeper Mike Lisch was able to get a hand on it just before Sekyere could get his shot off. Wells Thompson gathered in the rebound, but his shot went just over the crossbar.
The first half continued to give both teams good opportunities but neither was able to capitalize. In the 42nd minute, Pittsburgh appeared to take the lead when Jose Angulo redirected a shot by Danny Earls from the edge of the penalty area, but the Riverhounds' leading scorer was ruled offside to keep the game scoreless at the break.
Both teams continued to create opportunities in the second half. The Eagles had a chance right at the hour mark when they got a free kick just outside the penalty area, but the shot deflected off the wall andaway to safety. Sekyere then almost gave the Eagles the lead when he took a good first-time finish off a pass from Drew Yates, but the shot went just wide of the right post.
The Riverhounds took the lead after they earned a corner kick In the 76th minute. Cabrilo was able to get a header on target, and it went past Eagles goalkeeper Alec Kann and into the back of the net. Charlotte pushed everything forward in the game's final 20 minutes, but couldn't break through a stout Pittsburgh defense as Michael Lisch recorded his fifth shutout of the season.
The Eagles next travel to Montreal to take on the Impact Reserves at 1 p.m. ET on Monday afternoon. The Eagles will return home for their final USL PRO home game of the season on Saturday, September 6th as the Harrisburg City Islanders come to Queens Sports Complex for a 7 p.m. ET kickoff.

Trafficking in Persons Report, 20th Edition [open pdf - 48MB]
From the Document: "This year marks a major milestone--the 20th anniversary of the TIP [Trafficking in Persons] Report. Twenty years ago, when the United States Congress passed the TVPA [Trafficking Victims Protection Act] mandating this report, it signaled the U.S. government's resolve to fight human trafficking and marked a pivot from indignation to positive action. Whether used to raise awareness, spark dialogue, spur action, or create a system of accountability, the TIP Report has served to reinforce global anti-trafficking norms and ideals. At a time when many governments denied the existence of human trafficking in all its forms, the TIP Report became a standard-bearer for the principles enshrined in the TVPA and the UN Trafficking in Persons Protocol (Palermo Protocol). Throughout the last two decades, and as the availability of information on human trafficking has expanded, the TIP Report has grown in both its breadth and depth of analysis. [...] The introduction this year will provide a look back at the evolution of the TIP Report. It is a celebration of 20 years documenting progress in combating human trafficking and, as always, a candid reminder of the work yet to be done."

Lead Levels Found in Tap Water of Older New York City Homes Return to Normal
Run Your Tap Campaign Still Advises Residents How to Lower the Risks of Lead Exposure from Household Plumbing
Environmental Protection Commissioner Cas Holloway and Health Commissioner Thomas Farley today announced that lead levels found in drinking water in older New York City homes have returned to normal. In 2010, DEP and Health Department launched the Run Your Tap campaign, a public service campaign to educate city residents about simple precautions that can reduce potential exposure to lead from internal plumbing systems. While New York City's drinking water in reservoirs and throughout the distribution system is virtually lead-free and of the highest quality, the campaign was in response to elevated lead levels found in tap water of some older homes that are known to have lead in their household plumbing. The City monitors lead levels in a sampling of these residences and provides notifications to all homeowners when elevated levels are found.
"The results of our most recent sampling confirm that NYC Water remains the safest and healthiest drink available," said Commissioner Holloway. "We have always known that our reservoir and distribution system is lead free, but some older homes have plumbing that can impact water quality and allow lead to enter tap water at those private residences. Because of slightly elevated levels found in samples taken last year, we launched our Run Your Tap campaign with public service announcements and bus stop and shelter ads to tell people how to reduce potential exposure. Residents should still take those simple precautions, including running your tap until the water gets cool—for at least 30 seconds—for drinking, cooking and making baby formula whenever the faucet has not been used for several hours. We will continue testing tap water in older homes with lead plumbing and keep New Yorkers informed of any new findings; based on the latest data, the steps DEP has taken, such as adjusting our pH levels and minimizing fluctuations in treatment, are having their desired effect."
"Water is the healthiest of all beverages and we encourage people to drink tap water," said Commissioner Farley. "We're pleased that the recent testing shows that lead levels in the water have declined."
As part of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act, DEP conducts tap water testing at a sample of homes in New York City known to have lead service lines or lead solder in pipes. The EPA requires that if test results from these at risk homes indicate that more than 10% of water samples exceed 15 parts per billion (ppb), then water utilities must notify the public of potential lead exposure risks. The results of the most recent sampling, taken from January 1 through June 30, showed a substantial decrease in the number of samples that exceeded EPA standards. This year's test results showed that less than 2% (2 samples) of 114 samples were elevated, well below the 10% threshold.
The results of last year's sampling had showed an increase in the number of samples above 15 ppb, with 14% (30 samples) of 222 samples that were elevated. At the time, New York City was required to increase the frequency of testing from once a year to twice a year and notify the public because of the elevation. DEP and the Health Department subsequently launched the Run Your Tap campaign. New York City was not unique in experiencing this. Cities such as Boston, Washington D.C., Providence, and Portland, Oregon have all exceeded the action threshold in the past decade. In order to comply with EPA notification requirements, DEP will continue to inform customers of potentially elevated levels of lead on water bills until a second round of testing, to be completed by the end of this year, comes back within regulatory requirements. To increase the sampling pool to get a better and more accurate representation of lead levels, homeowners who live in residences with lead services lines or lead plumbing who are interested in participating in the sampling program can now receive a $25 dollar credit on their water bill. Those interested should call 311 to more information and see if they qualify.
A panel that includes DEP scientists and world-renowned experts in corrosion control is currently examining the potential reasons for last year's elevation in lead levels with the goal of determining a cause. Although the work of the panel is not yet complete, the most likely factor appears to be minor fluctuations in pH levels, which can impact the corrosivity of water and result in faster chemical reactions within older homes that have lead pipes or plumbing in them.
Protective Steps New Yorkers Can Still Take To Reduce the Risk of Exposure
The Run Your Tap campaign highlights simple safety precautions that can significantly reduce lead exposure including:
Running tap water until it is cold or for at least 30 seconds, until the water is noticeably colder, before drinking, cooking or making baby formula any time a faucet has not been used for several hours; and
Using cold tap water for drinking, cooking and making baby formula even after the tap has been running.
More information about the campaign and ways to further reduce exposure can be found at www.nyc.gov/dep. In the event that someone is still concerned after following these safety precautions, call 311 to request a free lead testing kit from DEP.
Lead is a common metal found in the environment. In the past, lead has been used in pipes, plumbing fixtures and solder, paints, gasoline and other products. Lead may be found in air, water and soil from past uses of these products. Drinking water is rarely the primary cause of lead poisoning, but elevated lead levels in water can increase a person's total lead exposure. Lead in tap water has declined since 1992, when DEP began anti-pipe corrosion water treatments.
In addition, as in the rest of the country, childhood lead poisoning continues to decline as lead-paint hazards and other lead sources have been reduced. Last year, during the four-month sampling period (June – September 2010) when lead in water levels were slightly elevated, there was a 2.4% decline in the number of young children newly identified with elevated blood lead levels as compared with the same period in 2009. Also, blood lead levels in children have been dropping precipitously over the past several years. Since 1995, there has been a 93% drop in the number of children with elevated blood lead levels from 19,232 cases in 1995 to 1,387 cases in 2009.
Lead poisoning is a preventable health problem and young children are at greatest risk. Lead poisoning may cause learning and behavior problems as well as delays in growth and development in children. In New York City and across the country, peeling lead paint in homes is the primary cause of lead poisoning. Landlords must inspect and safely repair peeling paint if a young child lives at a residence. If a landlord doesn't fix peeling paint, call 311. Children may also be exposed to lead from other sources including, imported consumer products, soil, and water.
How Lead Enters Drinking Water
New York City's drinking water is virtually lead free in the upstate reservoirs and throughout the distribution system. However, lead can enter tap water from solder, fixtures and pipes in the plumbing of some older buildings and homes. When water "sits" for several hours in lead service lines or pipes containing lead, some lead can be released into the water. As a result, the water first drawn from the tap in the morning, or later in the afternoon after returning from work or school, may contain high levels of lead. Regulations have been put in place to reduce the lead in plumbing, yet individual residences may still contain plumbing and fixtures with lead content if they were installed before these rules came into effect.
How the City is Reducing the Risks of Lead in Water
DEP maintains an active program to reduce the quantity of lead that dissolves into water, especially in private homes with lead or lead soldering in pipes. DEP carefully and continuously monitors and adjusts pH levels of water to a specific range that reduces the corrosiveness of the water and adds phosphoric acid—a common food preservative—to create a protective film on pipes that reduces the release of metals, such as lead, from household plumbing.
To Learn More About the Health Effects of Lead
Call 311 to request information from the NYC Health Department about the health effects of lead, causes of lead poisoning and how to have a child's blood tested for lead poisoning.
Consult a health care provider to make sure children are tested for lead poisoning at ages 1 and 2 as required by New York State law. Also, talk to a provider about testing older children and pregnant women if they are at risk of lead exposure.
DEP manages the city's water supply, providing more than 1 billion gallons of water each day to more than 9 million residents, including 8 million in New York City. New York City's water is delivered from a watershed that extends more than 125 miles from the city, and comprises 19 reservoirs, and three controlled lakes. Approximately 7,000 miles of water mains, tunnels and aqueducts bring water to homes and businesses throughout the five boroughs and DEP performs rigorous and comprehensive monitoring every day, to ensure that we continue to deliver the healthy, great tasting water that New Yorkers expect. DEP monitors its drinking water for approximately 250 contaminants, approximately 100 of which are not currently required by regulators. DEP performs more than 900 tests daily, 27,000 monthly, and 330,000 on an annual basis from up to 1,000 sampling locations throughout New York City. This work is in addition to 230,000 tests performed in the watershed. For more information, visit www.nyc.gov/dep or follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/nycwater.
The New York City Health Department's Lead Poisoning Prevention Program promotes public and private action to reduce children's exposure to lead hazards in the environment. The program works to ensure that children are routinely screened for lead poisoning. It also provides services for lead-poisoned children and pregnant women, as well as their families and health care providers.

Report: Flyers Given Permission to Speak with Chuck Fletcher Regarding GM Job
Kevin Durso
(Bruce Bennett/Getty Images)
It's been just over 48 hours since the Flyers fired Ron Hextall and the pursuit for a new GM started. Several names have been mentioned, but one has emerged as a clear frontrunner.
Chuck Fletcher, the former GM of the Minnesota Wild and currently a senior advisor with the New Jersey Devils, is atop the list. The Devils granted the Flyers permission to speak with Fletcher regarding the open GM position on Wednesday, according to a report from TSN's Bob McKenzie. Darren Dreger reported on Monday that Fletcher was a name highly regarded on the Flyers list and was considered a frontrunner for the job.
In addition, Dave Isaac of the Courier Post reported that the Flyers have spoken to Fletcher specifically, and The Athletic's Michael Russo reported that the Flyers were already doing their due diligence on Fletcher, contacting people in the Minnesota Wild organization.
Fletcher was the Wild GM from 2009 to 2018. During that time, Minnesota had a 359-265-80 in 704 games. The Wild missed the playoffs in the first three seasons with Fletcher as GM, but made the playoffs in the next six seasons. They were eliminated in the first round four times and the second round twice.
Prior to being the GM in Minnesota, Fletcher spent three years as the assistant GM to Ray Shero with the Pittsburgh Penguins from 2006 to 2009. From 2002 to 2006, Fletcher held multiple roles with the Anaheim Ducks, including assistant GM, director of hockey operations and vice president of amateur scouting and player development. Fletcher was also an assistant GM with the Florida Panthers from their expansion year in 1993 to 2002.
Prior to entering the executive side of hockey, Fletcher worked as a sports agent for two years. He is a graduate of Harvard. Chuck Fletcher is the son of Cliff Fletcher, an inductee of the Hockey Hall of Fame in the builder category in 2004. Cliff Fletcher served as the GM of the Atlanta Flames, Toronto Maple Leafs and Phoenix Coyotes in his long career and currently is a senior advisor for the Maple Leafs.
Outside of Fletcher, names like Steve Yzerman, Ron Francis and Steve Greeley have all been mentioned, but there has been no formal contact from the Flyers with any of them, nor has there been any reports of interest from the potential candidates. Holmgren already stated that Dean Lombardi has no interest in the job and it was reported that former Flyer Chris Pronger was not being considered.
Paul Holmgren said the GM search would likely be completed in weeks, not months, so it seems like the Flyers will fast-track this to some extent to find the right man for the job as soon as possible.

After my work on the Concord Watch campaign, and having left the Wall Street Journal, I was tapped for other illustration projects at Ogilvy. Ross Sutherland, among the most talented Creative Directors I have ever worked with, kept me busy in the late eighties. It is only now, in pulling together pieces for this post, do I realize how generous this A/D was to me.
Another ad we did together was for AT&T. It shows the brilliance of this Ad man, in my opinion. Ross got his hands on an ancient copy of the Boy Scouts manual, so I could get familiar with the Semaphore system of signaling. I produced a bunch of b&w illustrations (the color was applied by the agency, Ogilvy and Mather) depicting scouts utilizing their flags. I'll present this to you as the entire double-page spread, then a couple of details that express the heart of the ad and its brilliant copy. Finally, a close-up of the worthy scouts who volunteered for this action.
Lastly, I must relate a personal anecdote. Ross's deputy A/D knew I was preparing for my next ad in the Black Book. She pulled me aside one day and said, "Why don't you get him to write your next ad for you?" I was quite taken aback by the idea, and not sure if it might be pushing my luck. But, I did ask him, and the result was the following prodigious piece of advertising.
Aside from the Concord watches, we've got some star-power going on here: Peter O'Toole, and two hedcut portraits I produced for the Journal, Frank Lloyd Wright and Gloria Swanson.
I am humbled that this big wheel of Madison Avenue deigned to pay me such an honor! If you're out there reading this, Mr. Sutherland, a big shout-out from Kevin Sprouls —-THANKS!

70th anniversary of the Allgemeine Gehsperre and the 68th anniversary of the liquidation of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto
September 2012 marks the 70th anniversary of the so-called Wielka Szpera (Allgemeine Gehspere, General Curfew) - an action carried out by the Germans in the Łódź ghetto. As a result, over 15 thousand people were deported from the ghetto, including almost all children under 10 years of age. This concluded the first phase (lasting from January until September) of deportation of Jews to the extermination center at Chełmno on the Ner (Kulmhof).
SZPERA '42 performance
The performance was presented on 29 August and 4 September, as a part of the commemoration of the 68th anniversary of the liquidation of the Litzmannstadt ghetto and 70th anniversary of "Wielka Szpera".
Below, we are presenting video footage of the performance, made by Grupa Filmowa as well as photographs by Kamila Bogulewska
Video reacording and photographic documentation were possible with the financial support from the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw, under the "Patriotism of Tomorrow" program.
14 Zachodnia St.
It is one of the least known and at the same time most important places in the Łódź ghetto. At 13 Lutomierska St., the office of the Jewish fire brigade were located. At the back of the building, there were the fire brigade barracks with cars and equipment. It was there that Chaim Mordechai Rumkowski, the Eldest of the Jews in the Łódź ghetto, gave his speeches. The buildings at 13 Lutomierska St. no longer exist, replaced by blocks of flats. Only one of the houses survived (at 14 Zachodnia St.). It was in front of that building that Rumkowski gave his famous speech in September 1942, appealing to the residents of the ghetto to give away their children so that others may be saved.
Bridge over Zgierska St. by Kościelny Square
Two streets, Zgierska and Limanowskiego, were excluded from the ghetto and belonged to the Aryan part of Litzmannstadt. The ghetto, intersected by these two streets, was divided into three parts. At first, at specific times, special gates were opened through which the residents could move from one section to the other. In the summer of 1940, three wooden bridges were erected, connecting the divided parts of the ghetto, allowing people to cross over the streets.
The Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary Church
During World War Two, the church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary was located within the Łódź ghetto. For thousands of Jews who had to move to the ghetto, the church and the nerby wooden bridge over Zgierska Street were the most important symbols of the ghetto. In 1942, the Nazis decided to transform the church into a warehouse for storing stolen Jewish property. From spring to autumn 1942, clothes of people murdered in Chełmno on the Ner were brought there. Some people discovered the clothing of their loved ones who had been deported in an unknown direction. The Jews called this place "white factory" and the Virgin Mary - the patron of the temple - Mary of the Down.
4 Kościelny Square
In the corner building at Zgierska St. "The Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto" was created, one of the most important documents of World War Two. Chroniclers collected documents concerning the operation of the ghetto: announcements, posters and circulars as well as Rumkowski's speeches and deportees' documentation– their passports and personal letters. Also here, at the Department of Statistics worked the ghetto photographers and graphic artists who created propaganda materials, showing that the ghetto was useful. Many of these documents survived to this day and are now found in the State Archive in Łódź.
Courtyard at 16 Wojska Polskiego St.
In the years 1940-1944, almost 200 thousand people lived in old buildings in the Łódź districts of Bałuty and Old Town. Jewish families lived in each building. Children, their parents, grandparents, uncles, neighbors. Adults work hard, food was scarce, diseases spread, but children - as children do- were playing how they could. Until to September 1942.
The House of Culture, 3 Krawiecka St.
This small building, where today a local shop is located, used to be a cinema. The auditorium held 400 seats and a stage, where both symphony orchestra and theater troupes could perform. This was the center of the ghetto cultural life. The house of culture opened on March 1, 1941, although theater performances and concerts had already been held there. The troupe consisted of prominent pre-war Jewish artists, including Moshe Puławer and Róża Bloch, the orchestra was by conducted by Dawid Bajgelman, decorations were prepared by Pinchas Schwarz. After transports from Prague, Berlin and Vienna arrived at Litzmannstadt, world-famous virtuosos performed there, as well as children from orphanages. After "wielka szpera", cultural life in the ghetto practically ceased to exist. In the summer of 1943, the building was converted into a department of quilts and blankets.
Hospital at 36 Łagiewnicka St.
The building was constructed for the Health Fund just before the war. It was one of the most modern and elegant buildings in the Bałuty district. During the war, it housed the Department of Health created by Rumkowski and Hospital No. 1. In one of the wings, there was the private apartment of the Eldest of the Jews in the ghetto. Until September 1942, health care in the ghetto functioned more or less normally. Tthe most common documents issued were death certificates. It was only during the September "szpera" that all hospitals were closed down. The Germans deported all the sick to Chełmno on the Ner. The rallying point for people selected for the deportation from the ghetto was located here.
Video recording and photographic documentation were possible with the financial support from the Museum of Polish History in Warsaw, under the "Patriotism of Tomorrow" program.
WIELKA SZPERA
From January until May 1942, 55 thousand Jews from the Łódź ghetto and nearly five thousand Gypsies from Austria were sent to their death, but it was that autumn action of Wielka Szpera that became the most important moment in the history of the ghetto, the most tragic and most often remembered, probably because the victims were small children. Deportations took children from orphanages, shelters and hospitals, babies were torn away from their mothers and families. There is probably not a single person who went through the Lodz ghetto that would not be personally affected by these events. The memories of Szpera appear in all testimonies, diaries and interviews. The history of the Litzmannstadt ghetto is divided into before and after Szpera ...
The word "Szpera" derives from the German expression Allgemeine Gehsperre , which meant a general curfew - a strict ban on leaving the house. It was introduced on 5 September 1942 and lasted until 12 September. It was preceded by the famous speech of Chaim Mordechai Rumkowski delivered on 4 September 1942, at the so-called Strażacki Square, beginning with the words "Give me your children ...". Children were deported and the Germans turned the ghetto into a labor camp. From then on, everyone who managed to survive Szpera had to work hard.
From February until December 2012, in secondary schools in Łódź and in several towns in the region, the Dialogue Center is carrying out an educational project "Give me your children ...", including lessons, exhibition, screening of the film "From the depths I cry ..." directed by Wojciech Gierłowski, reading passages from diaries written by children, talks with students, etc.
The year will conclude with a series of events in early September, including a performance of "Szpera '42" directed by Tomasz Rodowicz (Łódź) and Ruth Osterman (Israel, Tel Aviv), realized in co-production with the Chorea Theater, which will feature Polish and Israeli artists, as well as other events.
Polish Parliament proclaimed 2012 the Year of Janusz Korczak, a doctor from the Warsaw ghetto, who did not abandon his pupils and followed them to death. Also in the Łódź ghetto, teachers and carers never left children from orphanages and followed them on transports during Szpera. Łódź had its own Korczaks, therefore the main theme of this year's events will be the deportation of children in September 1942.

If you read for pleasure, enjoy H is for Hawk, a fascinating, award-winning memoir about a falconer who trains a goshawk. If you "Read as a Writer," keep four questions in mind: 1) how the first paragraph works to set the stage for what follows; 2) how Macdonald enlarges and layers the memoir from a narrow "I" focus, and 3) how she tackles challenging issues, and 4) how she uses hawks and falconry as metaphor.
After Helen Macdonald's father dies suddenly, she begins a downward spiral. The death of a loved one is something we all face and, although there are recognized stages to the experience, we each find our own way through the labyrinth of loss. Of grief and madness, she writes, "I knew I wasn't mad mad…[but then] I started dreaming of hawks all the time…raptor, meaning 'bird of prey.' From the Latin raptor, meaning 'robber,' from rapere, meaning 'seize.'" The dreams led to an obsession: "I dreamed of the hawk slipping through wet air to somewhere else. I wanted to follow it." Macdonald turns to a goshawk, a raptor with a reputation for being the most challenging to train—even for the experienced falconer she is.
Macdonald names her hawk Mabel. "Mabel. From amabilis, meaning loveable, or dear. An old, slightly silly name, an unfashionable name.… There's a superstition among falconers that a hawk's ability is inversely proportional to the ferocity of its name." She wants Mabel to be ferocious. Through Mabel, Macdonald becomes goshawk, becomes wild. The goshawk becomes a metaphor, a spiritual guide.
"I was turning into a hawk.
I didn't shrink and grow plumes like the Wart in The Sword in the Stone, who was transformed by Merlyn into a merlin as part of his magical education. I had loved the scene as a child. I had read it over and over again, thrilling at the Wart's toes turning to talons and scratching on the floor, his primary feathers bursting in soft blue quills from the tips of his fingers. But I was turning into a hawk all the same.
Macdonald weaves White's biography into her memoir. For more than a few pages, H is for Hawk, seems more White than Macdonald, but always relevant to her state of mind and passage through bereavement.
Ability of hawks to cross borders that humans cannot is a thing far older than Celtic myth, older than Orpheus—for in ancient shamanic traditions right across Eurasia, hawks and falcons were seen as messengers between this world and the next.
Macdonald constantly probes literature and raptor lore, seeking understanding while revealing truths she only half realizes at the time of her "not mad mad" period. For nature lovers, she takes us into fields near the edge of woods in weather that only a diehard falconer would venture. She also debates the moral issue of keeping a hawk whose purpose is death.
We witness the deterioration of her physical and mental life after her father's death and her escape into wildness. Through memories and Macdonald's reflections on falconry literature and practice, we come to see how she copes with loss and also how she grows and changes.
Look closely at the all-important first paragraph, noticing how Macdonald provides a setting, the first-person narrative, the idea of a journey, and her purpose which is to see goshawks. See how relevant this is to what follows.
Think about how she weaves her story into T.H. White's biography, and more generally, how she uses literature and lore to enlarge the narrative, lifting it above a potentially maudlin or nostalgic ramble.
Think about the role metaphor plays throughout the story.
H is for Hawk is a winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize, and it was the COSTA Book of the Year 2014. It's a good read. Enjoy.

Telavåg o Tælavåg es una localidad del municipio de Sund en la provincia de Hordaland, Noruega. Se ubica en la isla de Sotra, a 39 km al suroeste de la ciudad de Bergen. Tiene una superficie de 0,67 km² y unos 551 habitantes.

Historia

Tragedia de Telavåg
Durante la ocupación nazi de Noruega, Telavåg cumplió un rol importante en la ruta de Shetland entre Noruega y Reino Unido y siendo sede de la tragedia de Telavåg durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

El 26 de abril de 1942, luego de descubrirse a 2 agentes de la compañía Linge ocultos en la zona (Arne Meldal Værum y Emil Gustav Hvaal), la Gestapo envía a dos oficiales para detenerlos (el Kriminalrat Gerhard Berns y el Kriminalsekretär Henry Bertram). Finalmente se inicia un tiroteo, resultando en la muerte de los alemanes y de Arne Værum. Emil Hvaal y su hijo fueron ejecutados en represalia.

El reichskommissar Josef Terboven dirigió la reprimienda. Los edificios fueron quemados y las propiedades de los habitantes fueron confiscadas, incluyendo comida. Los hombres fueron castigados con el encarcelamiento en el campo de concentración de Sachsenhausen, aunque algunos fueron ejecutados antes del traslado. Mujeres y niños fueron detenidos y condenados a 2 años de prisión en el campo de Trandum, en el cual igualmente se produjeron muertes.

Zack Whitford/Courtesy of Janie's FundAerosmith will get back in the saddle tonight when they play a concert at Atlanta's State Farm Arena, part of the first-ever Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest.
This marks Aerosmith's first live performance since last August at the MTV Music Awards, where the band also teamed up with Post Malone during the ceremony's finale.
The concert will be guitarist Joe Perry's first performance since he collapsed backstage after a guest appearance at a Billy Joel concert at New York's Madison Square Garden. After the incident, Perry was hospitalized for several days and was diagnosed with pulmonary issues.
Aerosmith's most recent full-length concert was its May 2018 headlining set at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
Looking ahead, the band also will performing in Hollywood February 10 at frontman Steven Tyler's second annual Grammy Viewing Party benefit to raise money for Janie's Fund, the charity he co-founded to help young women and girls who have been victims of physical and sexual abuse.


Silhouettes Cream is from the absolutely stunning festive collection called Scandi. Inspired by the traditional red and white Scandinavian Christmas style, this collection brings a festive feel using much softer colours.
Why not make some traditional stockings to hang from the mantle piece? (or radiator, why not?) Great for making Christmas patchwork blankets, aprons and much more!

Tennessee lawmaker says he rejected House Speaker's effort to 'buy' his vote on vouchers legislation
Posted at 11:30 AM, Jul 22, 2019
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A veteran Tennessee state representative says he rejected an effort by House Speaker Glen Casada to "buy" his vote on the controversial school vouchers legislation proposed by Gov. Bill Lee.
Rep. John Mark Windle, D-Livingston, confirmed information obtained by NewsChannel 5 Investigates that another lawmaker had overheard Casada suggesting that – in exchange for his vote – Windle could promoted to the rank of general in the Tennessee National Guard.
Windle, an Iraq war veteran, currently serves a colonel.
"In response to your question, your characterization of the conversation is correct," Windle said in a written statement.
"I voted against the bill as a matter of principle, and that vote decision did not change. The people of Fentress, Jackson, Morgan, and Overton counties are fiercely independent, and their vote is not for sale."
Windle said that, "after the vote, as a former prosecutor, I sought the guidance of Tennessee ethics authorities and followed their recommendations."
It is not clear what those recommendations were, and Windle did not elaborate.
Lee's controversial voucher program, dubbed Education Savings Accounts, narrowly passed the state House on April 23rd on a 50-48 vote – after the initial vote was tied at 49-49.
Casada left the vote open for 38 minutes while he summoned various lawmakers, including Windle, to an outside balcony behind the speaker's podium in an attempt to convince a "no" vote to switch to "yes."
Ultimately, Rep. Jason Zachary, R-Knoxville, agreed to vote for the bill after Casada and Lee agreed to exempt Knox County from the legislation.
Zachary later denied that he was offered anything improper for his vote.
Sunday morning, Casada posted a statement on his Facebook page denying that he "promised" Windle a promotion for his vote.
"I did not," Casada wrote.
"The Office of the Speaker does not have the authority to hire or promote persons in the Executive Branch. That power belongs solely to the Governor."
In fact, under Tennessee law, the governor has sole authority over the promotion of National Guard officers.
However, at least one key member of Lee's administration was on the balcony during Casada's attempt to wrangle votes, and NewsChannel 5 has learned that Windle was put on the phone with the governor at least twice during the discussions.
There is no hint that Lee himself personally promised a promotion to Windle.
NewsChannel 5 Investigates reached out to Lee's spokespeople seeking comment, but the administration has not responded.
Still, veteran Nashville lawyer Gary Blackburn, who has prosecuted and defended public corruption cases, said that potentially offering to promote a lawmaker to general in the National Guard — in exchange for his vote — should set off alarm bells.
"It crosses the line when there is something of value offered for a person to exercise his official authority," Blackburn said.
"There's a big difference between being a general and being a colonel – in terms of your personal prestige, pay, benefits. It would seem to me that would be right on the right line."
NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked, "It would raise some serious questions?"
Blackburn answered, "It would raise serious questions as to whether that was intended as a bribe."
Other lawmakers have provided details of offers made to them in an attempt to secure their votes.


Many elderly have missing teeth or total tooth loss. You may wonder if that is something that will inevitably happen. However, it's not. You can keep your natural teeth all life long with the right oral health habits and frequent dental visits. These are tips for taking care of baby teeth, adult teeth and the teeth during all those transitioning years!
As soon as the first baby tooth comes in, it needs to be brushed. Use a rice-sized amount of safe infant/child toothpaste.
Brush your infant's tooth/teeth at least twice a day, or after meals.
Never leave a baby with a bottle for naps or during the night. Sugars in the milk (both breast and formula) cause tooth decay very quickly.
Wipe an infant's gums and smile with a damp cloth to remove milk sugars and food particles after feedings.
Start them off with dental visits sometime between 18 months and 3 years to check for tooth decay or oral health care problems.
Use a gum brush for small infants and graduate to an infant toothbrush as they get a bit older.
No sugar. Children should have less than 6 grams of sugar in a day and infants should have none. Never put soda, sports drinks or sugary drinks in cups or bottles for infants.
Brush and floss your child's teeth for the first few years until they can do it well on their own.
Children may not be able to brush their teeth properly until they are 3 or older. It takes time for them to develop the dexterity they need in their hands to make all the brushing movements. When a child can hold utensils well and eat alone with those utensils, they are definitely ready to start transitioning to brushing their teeth on their own.
During this time, help them to know how to hold a toothbrush correctly and hold their hand as you teach them the brush strokes and the movements. Teach them to put about a pea-sized amount of toothpaste on their toothbrush. As a person ages, they may use more toothpaste. As soon as the spaces between the teeth become smaller with a child, flossing should start. Flossers are great tools that children can learn until they can floss with string floss properly. Mouthwash and fluoride should only be used by the direction of a dentist in a child.
Get bright, colorful child toothbrushes that have their favorite characters on them.
Sing a song while they brush.
Have your child watch a 2-minute video clip of something they like as they brush for those 2 minutes.
Make it a game! Brush along with them and see who can get cleaner teeth.
Have a reward chart for children where they get stars, stickers or earn small prizes over time for brushing well.
Let a child practice on you. Show them how you take care of your teeth and then have them practice on your teeth and theirs.
As children grow older, their mouth is getting bigger as they get taller. The baby teeth will start to fall out starting around age 5, and adult teeth will start to come into the mouth. If your child has crooked teeth as a small child, they may need orthodontic treatment before the adult teeth come in.
As the baby teeth fall out, adult teeth will come in to replace those teeth. There will be 32 adult teeth total over the years that teens and pre-teens are getting their adult teeth, which include the 4 wisdom teeth. There will be more teeth coming in to replace the 20 baby teeth because there is more room in the mouth. If there are speech or eating problems present in your child, definitely consider orthodontic treatment to correct bite and alignment. Then, when all the permanent teeth come in, consider having them get orthodontic treatment to just align the teeth. A straight smile is one that is much easier to clean, which can help a child to have a healthy mouth all life long.
Many adults struggle with proper oral hygiene, even though most people know that brushing and flossing is important. We provided so many tips for children because oral health care starts when you're young. Those who teach children proper oral care early-on can expect to have children and adults that generally take better care of their teeth. Studies show that oral health care problems lead to the most chronic and prevalent diseases that Americans face. Gum disease alone affects at least 64.7 million Americans. Tooth decay (cavities) affect even more.
You avoid these with the simple habits we've mentioned. As a teen or adult, brush your teeth at least twice a day, for 2 minutes at a time. Floss 1-2 times a day, making sure to get up into your gum line. Scrape the teeth gently as you move the floss down your teeth. Limit your sugar intake throughout the day, as sugar makes plaque, which decays your teeth. Teens and adults can use mouthwash to kill decay-causing bacteria. Fluoride treatments and dental sealants may also be advised by a dentist. To know for sure, schedule a comprehensive dental exam and cleaning with a dentist, and make sure you have these appointments at least every 6 months. These measures will help ensure you don't have tooth loss as you age.
Tooth Loss: Is It Inevitable?
Tooth loss is not inevitable. There are plenty of people that live their entire life with their natural teeth because they took care of their smile. That can be you! For more tips on taking care of your pearly whites, call Dr. Ania's office today at (303) 872-9940!

Q: i would like to convert oracle function to big query can some one let me know the best way  NVL (SUBSTR (ARY_TE, INSTR (ARY_TE,   '|',  1,   3)  + 1,
                          INSTR (ARY_TE, '|',  1,  4)  - INSTR (ARY_TE,  '|', 3)- 1), '@@')   LNG_TE,

Explanation: The data is separated by the delimiter | and they are using the data from the position of the particular column to fetch the data between the pipes based on position and adding with  1
Now, what I want is the right syntax to use in BigQuery.
Here in the data we have delimiter as | where we use the place 1,3 value to pick from the data at
sample data { @@|1.0|2.3|2.3|@@|@@|1.0|@@|@@}
Sample output:
1.25(approx not the out pot from that query)

A: SPLIT(column_name, '|') [SAFE_OFFSET(4)] )
this will pick the value where you want the data from an the offset value


AMAZING SPEECH ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT TO THE U.N. BY AN ABUNDANTLY AMAZING 12 YEAR OLD GIRL - An Abundant Woman!
"I am here speaking for ECO, the Environmental Children's Organization. We are a group of 12 and 13 year olds trying to make a difference. We raised all the money ourselves to come here ourselves, to come 5,000 miles to tell you adults you much change your ways.
Coming up here today, I have no hidden agenda. I am fighting for my future. Losing my future is not like losing an election or a few points on the stock market. I'm here to speak for all generations to come. I am here to speak for all the starving children who's cries go unheard. I am here to speak for all the animals dying across this planet because they have nowhere left to go.
I am afraid to go out in the sun now because of the holes in our ozone. I am afraid to breathe the air because I don't know what chemicals are in it. I used to go fishing with my dad in Vancouver until just a few years ago when we found the fish full of cancers. Now we hear of plants and animals going extinct every day, vanishing forever. In my life, I have dreamed of seeing herds of wild animals, jungles and rain forests full of birds and butterflies; but now I wonder if they will even exist for my children to see. Did you have to worry about these things when you were my age?
This is happening right before our eyes, and yet we act as if we have all the time and all the solutions. I'm only a child and I don't have all the solutions. I want you to realize, neither do you. You don't know how to fix the holes in our ozone layers. You don't know how to bring the salmon back up into our dead streams. You don't know how to bring back an animal, now extinct. And you can't bring back the forests that once grew where there is now a desert. If you don't know how to fix it, PLEASE stop breaking it!
Here, you may be delegates of your governments, business people, organizers, reporters or politicians. But really, you are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles. And all of you are someone's child. I am only a child, and yet know I am part of a family…5 billion strong; in fact, 30 million species strong. Borders and governments will never change that.
I am only a child, yet I know we are all in this together, and should act as one single world towards one single goal. In my anger I am not blind and in my fear I am not afraid of telling the world how I feel. In my country, we make so much waste. We buy and throw away, buy and throw away; and yet, we northern countries will not share with the needy. Even when we have more than enough, we are afraid to share, we are afraid to let go of some of our wealth. We live a privileged life. We have plenty of food, water and shelter. We have watches, bicycles, computers and television sets. The list could go on for two days.
Here in Brazil, two days ago, we were shocked when we spent some time with children living in the streets. This is what one child told us, "I wish I was rich. And if I was, I would give all the street children food, clothes, medicines, shelter, and love and affection." If a child on the street, who has nothing, is willing to share, why are we, who have everything still so greedy? I can't stop thinking that these are children that are my age, that it makes a tremendous difference where you are born. I could be a child living on the streets in Brazil, I could be a starving child living in Somalia, or a victim of war in the middle east, or a beggar in India.
I am only a child, and yet I know if all the money spent on wars was spent on finding environmental answers, ending poverty and finding treaties, what a wonderful place this earth would be. At school, even in Kindergarten, you teach us how to behave in the world. You teach us how to not fight with others, to work things out, to respect others, to clean up our mess, to not hurt other creatures, to share…not be greedy. Then why do you go out and do the things you tell us not to do? Do not forget why you are attending these conferences, who you are doing this for. We are your own children. You are deciding what kind of world we are growing up in.
This child seemed to make such an impression. I could see the reactions on the faces of the delegates. It seemed they were taking it to heart. Twenty-three years ago…..I really thought she made an impression. I was obviously wrong.
Extinction rates are up – it is estimated we could lose up to 15 species this year alone. Deforestation has raped the Amazon of millions of acres of forest and jungle. The population growth, over 8 billion people on this planet now, is also pushing the animals out of their natural habitat.
Global climate change has brought drought to what was historically agriculturally rich areas, bringing famine to even more countries. The food rich countries that could help those that are desperate for assistance, turn their backs on their brothers and sisters. Yes, we are a greedy lot.
As for the economy, with a few exceptions, the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. The whole global economic crisis will surely bankrupt this world if the conglomerates, banks and governments don't come up with viable plans to help this world as a whole, instead of finding quick fixes to appease the public while hoarding more for themselves.
