In this grim age of Trump and Brexit, online fury is a dead end for the left | John Harris
Progressives obsessed by Twitter spats and social media takedowns of the day's chosen foe lose sight of what is really going on
Along with international football, brown grass and flaming hillsides, political swearing has been an integral part of the summer's zeitgeist. The protests against Donald Trump's visit to Britain were exactly the carnivals of dissent that they promised to be: I went on the march in London, and had a great time. But the subsequent media coverage also brought a pang of ambivalence about a seemingly endless array of slogans that mixed profanity with what the modern vernacular calls virtue signalling, and looked like they were unwittingly playing the president's game: "Piss off you orange twat", "Fuck off Trump". One particularly subtle placard simply read: "Prick" .

Our phones and gadgets are now endangering the planet | John Harris
The energy used in our digital consumption is set to have a bigger impact on global warming than the entire aviation industry
It was just another moment in this long, increasingly strange summer. I was on a train home from Paddington station, and the carriage's air-conditioning was just about fighting off the heat outside. Most people seemed to be staring at their phones – in many cases, they were trying to stream a World Cup match, as the 4G signal came and went, and Great Western Railway's onboard wifi proved to be maddeningly erratic. The trebly chatter of headphone leakage was constant. And thousands of miles and a few time zones away in Loudoun County, Virginia, one of the world's largest concentrations of computing power was playing its part in keeping everything I saw ticking over, as data from around the world passed back and forth from its vast buildings.
Most of us communicate with this small and wealthy corner of the US every day. Thanks to a combination of factors – its proximity to Washington DC, competitive electricity prices, and its low susceptibility to natural disasters – the county is the home of data centres used by about 3,000 tech companies: huge agglomerations of circuitry, cables and cooling systems that sit in corners of the world most of us rarely see, but that are now at the core of how we live. About 70% of the world's online traffic is reckoned to pass through Loudoun County.

The national calamity we don't hear about – the death of local democracy | John Harris
Cuts and closures underline the flaws of a system dominated by Westminster's power. From health to schools to housing, we need an urgent rethink
'We cannot survive as we are beyond this next financial year. There is no money. I am not crying wolf. I never cry wolf." So says the Conservative leader of Torbay council, in Devon: a local authority that delivers the full range of services but can no longer function at even the most basic level.
After years of bone-crunching austerity, by 2020 it will be faced with another £12m of cuts – so the most obvious option is to downgrade itself to a district council, hand over its most essential work to the bigger Devon county council, and hope for the best. Whether this will improve anything is an interesting question: since 2010, in real terms, Devon's funding from government has been cut by 76%.

Robots could solve the social care crisis – but at what price? | John Harris
It's the next wave of automation beyond retail and financial services. Yet can artificial intelligence ever replicate altruism and empathy?
Pepper is a 4ft tall approximation of a human being developed in France, and now manufactured and marketed by the Japanese-owned corporate giant SoftBank Robotics. If you went to the recent Robots exhibitions at London's Science Museum or the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, you will be aware of what he (Pepper has been given a male pronoun, for some reason) can do.
Using a screen on his chest, he tells interactive stories, approximates the basics of conversation, and performs everyday gestures – all the while, according to his creators, "recognising the principal human emotions and adapting his behaviour to the mood of his interlocutor". I have met Pepper on three occasions: the fact that my two children were so entranced spoke volumes not just about his capabilities, but the easy charm his inventors have wired into him.

Artificial Intelligence has various definitions, but in general it means a program that uses data to build a model of some aspect of the world. This model is then used to make informed decisions and predictions about future events. The technology is used widely, to provide speech and face recognition, language translation, and personal recommendations on music, film and shopping sites. In the future, it could deliver driverless cars, smart personal assistants, and intelligent energy grids. AI has the potential to make organisations more effective and efficient, but the technology raises serious issues of ethics, governance, privacy and law.

Q: If there are two different standing waves of different lengths in an open air column, what frequency would resonate? Suppose I am playing a hypothetical woodwind instrument with both ends open. Somewhere along the length of the tube is a hole, which cannot be at or near the exact center of the tube for the sake of this question. If I were to blow into the instrument with this hole open, the frequency of the standing wave between the hole I blow into and the hole along the tube would measure less than the standing wave between the hole along the tube and the open hole at the end of the instrument. If the hole was in the center, the waves would be the same length, as it's just dividing the instrument into two. I shall provide a visual representation of what I mean:

*

*The black lines represent the tube

*The dotted black lines represent the open ends of the tube

*The blue waves represent the standing waves of the instrument

*The red circle represents a possible location for the hole
Ignore the fainter, numbered black lines
So now that you hopefully understand what I mean, what frequency will resonate? Am I doing something wrong with the standing wave? I'm not asking for a specific answer, I'm asking for the abstract mathematics behind it, if you know what I mean.
Thank you!

A: A standing wave is the result of a reflected wave interfering on itself, and for a tube the energy, depending on its size is concentrated at frequencies that are integer multiples of the tube length. The energy, no matter where it is introduced will find the path of least resistance. If you introduce energy into the tube resonator where you have drawn the hole, and create separate standing waves, they will interfere, but will not sustain a resonance since they are not of the same frequency. If however the hole is large enough to act as a boundary it may sustain a resonance with one of the two ends, but not both.
Studies using a Rijke tube have shown the occurrence of resonance does depend on where the thermal energy is introduced, but it's a nonlinear, and complex mapping.

Many countries worldwide are striving for improving the quality of care and for reducing costs in the health care sector by establishing large IT infrastructures. In Germany, the introduction of the electronic health card and the national telematics infrastructure is lagging years behind the original schedule. In this paper, we describe and analyze a case study of one selected part of this ultra-large intervention. The selected part is the failed implementation of the electronic prescription. The related activities started in 2003 and ended in 2010 when a decision was made to abandon this part of the intervention. We present a detailed analysis of the project and identify 14 reasons in five categories for the project's failure. Furthermore, we provide a multi-layered overview of the episodes and sub-projects.


On Friday, a group of unknown threat actors carried out one of the largest cyberattacks of its kind, which infected hundreds of thousands of computers in 150 countries. The ransomware, known as WannaCry, exploits a Microsoft Windows OS vulnerability that was patched in Microsoft's Security Bulletin two months ago. The universal advice was straightforward: Update your Windows systems to include the latest patches to prevent attacks.
The idea of employing basic endpoint hygiene to keep your data safer seems simple, so why has WannaCry been so damaging? The answer may lie in the hidden complexities found in effective patch management.
The nuances of effective patch management run much deeper than simply having a system administrator push out patches or relying on inconsistent vendor-supplied mechanisms. Because of organizational silos, it takes most IT departments weeks or even months to deploy patches throughout their highly distributed environments. In fact, it can take organizations several months to even come close to achieving complete patch compliance.
How should an organization deploy critical out-of-band patches, such as MS 17-010, that arrive urgently and off the routine patch schedule?
How can system administrators keep track of patches in an environment with thousands or hundreds of thousands of highly distributed endpoints running a variety of operating systems (OSs) and applications?
How long will the patching process take from start to finish, and how will system admins confirm that every endpoint in their infrastructure remains properly patched?
How can patches be deployed without interfering with the end-user experience and productivity?
Insufficient visibility. Incomplete visibility provides poor context to discover and report on the current state of all endpoints (including unmanaged ones), especially in highly distributed environments.
Sporadic endpoint hygiene. Manual processes and cumbersome scan-and-poll-based mechanisms reduce the ability to effectively prioritize and respond to the most critical vulnerabilities.
Silos of teams and tools. Security teams and IT operations are typically siloed, leading to fragmented defenses that are slow respond.
Fortunately, these hurdles are surmountable. IBM BigFix removes these obstacles with a comprehensive solution that is purposefully built for highly distributed, heterogeneous environments. With this solution, organizations can finally see, change, enforce and report on patch compliance status in real time, on a global scale and through a single console.
IBM tracks patch releases from OS, anti-malware and common third-party application vendors, and makes them available to users, eliminating the need for time-consuming patch research processes. Users can simply open up the BigFix console to view the latest updates and select patches for deployment.
Within 24 hours of the disclosure of the WannaCry vulnerability, BigFix had a fixlet for MS17-010, as well as previously unsupported Microsoft OSs, which were made available to all BigFix customers.
With BigFix, a single intelligent software agent is installed on all managed endpoints to continuously monitor and report on the endpoint state, including patch levels, with a management server. The agent also compares endpoint compliance against defined policies, such as mandatory patch levels and standard configurations. This information is especially critical during emergency patch scenarios such as MS17-010 because security analysts must rapidly quantify the overall magnitude and risk from the related exploits.
Since BigFix customer servers automatically download the latest patch updates, endpoints can immediately begin to assess whether a particular patch is needed without the need for operator intervention. The endpoint agent receives the new policy and immediately evaluates the endpoint to determine whether the patch is applicable. If so, it downloads and applies the patch, reporting back success or failure within minutes.
Once a patch is deployed, the BigFix agent automatically and continuously reassesses the endpoint status to confirm successful installation, immediately updating the management server in real time. This step is critical to support compliance requirements, which require definitive proof of continuous patch installation. Closing the loop on patch deployment enables organizations to ensure patch compliance in a way that is smarter, faster and much more reliable.
The BigFix intelligent agent continuously enforces patch policy compliance, helping to ensure that endpoints remain updated. If a patch is uninstalled for any reason, the policy can specify that the agent should automatically reapply it to the endpoint as needed. Through the same centralized console, endpoint compliance status is reported in real time, allowing IT administrators to easily monitor the state of all managed endpoints in the organization. Administrators enjoy full control of their endpoints, enabling them to handle significantly more work than other products that require a lot of manual intervention and introduce significant time lags into the reporting process.
These five steps have enabled BigFix to deliver real and effective patch management against this massive ransomware attack and the diversity of endpoint vulnerabilities that exist today. It provides an automated, simplified patching process that is administered from a single console and delivers real-time visibility and enforcement to all endpoints, on and off the corporate network. The result is a first-pass patch success rate of more than 98 percent, the reduction of patch cycle times from weeks or months to minutes or hours, and significant cuts in operational costs.
While the WannaCry wreckage is splashed across news headlines, some security thought leaders are taking this opportunity to remind their clients about the importance of endpoint hygiene.
I just wanted to let you know the help we had with BigFix for the ransomware that caused havoc today.
Our Information Security alerted us to the issue, and within minutes we had a list of servers still needing the patch and were able to quickly determine that no files were present on any server. It definitely reduced any panic we might have had.
For two decades, IBM BigFix has provided clients of all sizes with best-in-class multiplatform solutions for endpoint detection and response (EDR), enterprisewide asset discovery, patch management, software distribution, usage analysis, configuration management, security and regulatory compliance, and more.

Paul Currie: Trufficle Musk
Genre: Absurd Theatre, Comedy, Stand-Up
Venue: Heroes at The Hive
Strap in for explosive surrealism as we plunge into Paul Curries sparkling mind-satchel of solid gold silliness. Last year's Comedians Choice Best Show winner is back with something stunningly funny.
The Edinburgh Fringe is dominated by comedy. It's by far the biggest section in the book. This means there are many talented comedians doing the same type of show. There are a smaller number of acts who are less mainstream and they stand out because of this. And then there is Paul Currie.
Paul is from Northern Ireland, he has a strong physical presence, bubbling with energy. His beard, long wild blonde hair and distinctive blue eyes hold your attention. Visually at times, a cross between a marauding Viking and a renaissance representation of Jesus. His voice has the harsh Northern Irish accent, which he plays up or down as required.
You think that would enough, but not for Paul. His entrance, from the behind the audience, is a sight to behold. It's dramatic, unexpected and from the start, attention grabbing.
I should explain for those unfamiliar with Paul, he's an absurdist comedian. Normally when writing a comedy review discretion is required. Revealing a punchline ruins a gag and that's unfair to the artist. In this case it is difficult to describe any element of Paul's show that will reveal or undermine the funniness.
The show appears to be a stream of consciousness, with the randomness that implies. It's frenetic, it changes direction repeatedly. There are longer form physical pieces, inter-sped with some very short form gags. Some jokes fly past so quick you miss them. He uses call back, links, tells jokes, reveals elements of his own life and paints pictures in our minds. We have no idea what is coming next.
There's audience participation, which is caringly done. Everyone joins in, this isn't picking on people. Any wariness on behalf of the participant is down to being unsure of what Paul will do next. Even when it goes wrong, for example when the selected individual is the only person in the room who doesn't know a very famous song, it manages to become part of the show.
Running throughout is an infectious soundtrack with songs and tunes. The volume is high, the energy is contagious. We stand, we sing, we dance and no one minds. This is one of the happiest audiences from any show I've seen. It is not just that we laugh, the genius lies in making us happy. The two things are not the same.
For all the noise, chaos and borderline insanity it would be easy to think that this was a show where the artist is just randomly doing silly things, without form and plan. This is not the case, each routine has been gone through in detail, gestures, looks, glances, scripts and props are exquisitely crafted. You can see this in the complexity of the technical cues, the beauty of the puppetry and the sound of the typewriter.
There are some more serious moments. Paul has a message, he takes time to share it and we want to embrace it. His chaotic anarchy is an inspiration, a call to throw off normalcy and be.
Fair warning, not everyone will take to Paul's show, although I didn't notice anyone who didn't enjoy the experience, it's not mainstream, it is different. In absurdist comedy, it stands out from its peers because of the level of detail and the emotional connection it evokes and like jazz or abstract art, it isn't for everyone.
I tried to work out why it's funny and I have to say that I don't know. Describing elements of the piece to people, even something as iconic as his Panda Hands, would produce a look of bafflement. "Why is that funny?" they'd ask and in answer, I would have none. If 100 other comedians were to perform this act, tumbleweed would drift through the room and if you saw it on the telly, you'd be reaching for the remote control. However, to a live audience it's infectious, contagious, it's almost alive.
The closest I can come to explaining this show is that he taps into our memory of what it was like to be a child. He skips through our rational adult mental filters and speaks to that sense of wonder and laughter that ordinary life has buried. The feeling you had when you were convulsed with the giggles over something that, as an adult, seems quite mundane.
As reviewers we are asked to consider how a show could be improved. I cannot. Nothing I could suggest would be of relevance because this is such a unique creation. It would be like telling Michelangelo he needs to work on his hand carving.
In years of watching comedy three comedians have made me cry with laughter, mid-show. Paul is one of them.
This show is a 'must see' show. It's brilliant, it's fun and a joy to behold but honestly, I have no idea why.

I grew up in Murphysboro IL, down in the tip of Illinois, in hillbilly country. My first job was carrying papers for the Southern Illinoisan, a newspaper that was the only real paper in Southern Illinois. I remember the misery of carrying papers in winter, often in snow so deep that I had to drag my feet through it. I wore gloves and heavy winter clothing, but my face seemed to freeze. And on windy days, the wind-whipped snow would hit my face like grains of sand in a wind tunnel. It was awful!
Later, to my extreme sadness, my family moved 300 miles farther north from there to Ottawa, one of the most beautiful towns in Illinois, but only so in summer. Two rivers, the Illinois and the Fox, met in that town. They were beautiful in summer, with a high cliff on the south side of the Illinois River and downtown on the north side. But the winter was deep and miserable. But in winter, the tops of the rivers would freeze solid. I remember walking across the Fox one day when the temperature was -27 degrees. When it gets that cold, you can spit, and the spit would crack to pieces when it hit, frozen solid. People living in the south don't believe it gets that cold. On a still day, you could hear the tinkling of your own breath! One day during such cold, I parked my parents' car a block away and walked with the wind to the bank to cash a check. When I came out and faced into the wind, I could not stand it! I had to keep my eyes shut tight against the wind, and my lashes would freeze together. I went into every single store between the bank and the car to thaw out. That is serious cold! People in Ottawa said that the only thing to block the wind between there and the North Pole was a barbwire fence. Every winter we could see the aurora borealis on clear nights. We often had to tunnel into or out of our house due to drifting snow.
Ottawa Township High School was right east of downtown on the north side of the river. I ran cross country, so I would often run the two and a half miles to school in the mornings. One windless morning I was running to school, wearing a couple of sweatshirts and a stocking cap. When I got almost to the bridge on the south side, a brand new 1959 Buick stopped and the driver shouted, "Get in!" I was pretty cold, so I got in. On the way to the school, he said, "Are you nuts!? It's 26 below out there." I had no idea it was so cold. When I got to school, my right ear began to tingle. I felt of it, and it was as cold as ice. Apparently, it had frozen. It still tingled after that for years in cold weather. I guess I should have pulled that stocking cap over my ears.
God asked Job, "Do you know the treasuries of the snow?" It was one of eighty-eight questions God asked Job, to show Job his extreme ignorance of the creation. It is God who controls the snow, ice and cold. We don't control it yet. Maybe one day we will. But as it is now, we are able to survive the extremes of earth's temperatures because of the limits God has placed on the heat and cold.

Fatal DUI Crash in Lufkin
Anastasia Gray tragically killed in Lufkin car accident
Gray was passenger in sedan that crashed on South First Street; driver charged with intoxicated manslaughter
LUFKIN, TX, (December 17, 2022) - Anastasia Gray sadly died on Dec. 17 in a crash caused by an alleged intoxicated driver in Lufkin.
Anastasia Gray sadly died on Dec. 17 in a crash caused by an alleged intoxicated driver in Lufkin.
According to the Lufkin Police Department, Gray, 19, was traveling in a sedan driven by 17-year-old Tyler Lewis on South First Street at about midnight that made a sudden lane change, causing the car to be pushed into the median by another vehicle. Sadly, Gray was pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people were killed in the accident.
Lewis was charged with alleged intoxication manslaughter.
FATAL DUI CRASH INVESTIGATION
The consumption of alcohol and/or drugs can greatly diminish a driver's ability to operate a motor vehicle and Mr. Banuelos should have taken that into consideration when they got behind the wheel.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), almost 30 people die daily in the U.S. in drunk-driving crashes, factoring into one person every 50 minutes. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reveals that drugs other than alcohol play a role in approximately 18 percent of all motor vehicle driver deaths in the nation.
When a driver is under the influence, they can suffer from a lack of judgment, impaired vision, reduced coordination, and delayed reaction time. Banuelos also allegedly fled the scene after the crash, rather than render aid to the victim, which is a crime.
Candice Bond, an experienced DUI accident attorney, was interviewed and provided her thoughts on incidents such as this one.
"Separate from criminal charges, a victim's family may be entitled to compensation through a civil lawsuit against the responsible party," said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and national analyst for The Legal Advocate. "In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash, and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a grieving family during this difficult time, protecting their legal rights, while ensuring that a drunk driver is held accountable for their reckless actions."
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the results of the investigation, the family of Anastasia Gray may be entitled to a wrongful death claim for medical and funeral expenses, the loss of love and companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma.
"An incident is considered a wrongful death when either a person or entity commits a wrongful or negligent act resulting in a person's death," said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal. "When vehicle accident fatalities result from unsafe driving, aggressive or distracted driving, speeding, a hit-and-run, or driving under the influence, family members are usually left with the option to pursue a civil action against the responsible motorist."
If you or a family member have been involved in a situation similar to this article and would like to speak to our national legal analysts Candice Bond or Stefano Formica free of charge, please use the contact information found on this page

ANGELINA INJURY LAWYERS


Best-selling author, Ann Hood wrote one of my favorite novels last year, THE BOOK THAT MATTERS MOST (WWNorton). We were delighted to meet her in New York City in May at BookExpo and get a signed copy of her new memoir, MORNINGSTAR: GROWING UP WITH BOOKS (WWNorton) that we're giving away to one lucky Thoughts on This 'n That blog follower. It speaks to the intimate relationship Ann has with reading and books.
Ann grew up in Rhode Island inside a home that didn't share her love of literature. Nonetheless, she devoured books such as THE BELL JAR, MARJORIE MORNINGSTAR, THE HARRAD EXPERIMENT and many others. She was able to learn about "taboo" subjects not discussed in her home, such as sexuality and madness. One of Ann's fondest memories is when the Warwick Mall opened, including a bookstore and she could walk to it.
MORNINGSTAR: GROWING UP WITH BOOKS is broken up into ten chapters called lessons, partnered with a novel she uses to teach a particular lesson. Ann's prose are so conversational and comfortable, I felt as if I was in a book club of two – me and her. Ann's choice of authors and novels include Erich Segal's, LOVE STORY which she employs to share how books touch her soul. She reveals how reading, "love means never having to say you're sorry," as one of the most profound lines she'd read up until that time.
FYI. Costco has chosen Ann's novel, The Book That Matters Most for their August book of the month. Congratulations.
Ann Hood is the author of the best-selling novels, THE BOOK THAT MATTERS MOST, THE KNITTING CIRCLE, THE RED THREAD, THE OBITUARY WRITER, AN ITALIAN WIFE and SOMEWHERE OFF THE COAST OF MAINE. She recently remarried and lives in Providence, Rhode Island with her husband.
We're lucky to have one signed copy of MORNINGSTAR: GROWING UP WITH BOOKS to giveaway. Just tell us what you love about reading. We'll announce a winner next week.
I love to read because I feel like it takes me to another place. For me, books are like mini vacations.
There are so many things I love about reading. I guess an important one is learning things I didn't previously know.
I enjoy reading as it relaxes me. I feel as if I leave my current situation and enter into a storybook atmosphere.
Reading provides me with enjoyment, entertainment and allows me to dream, travel and experience new places, new realms and another era.
What I love about reading is that it let's me escape my everyday life and takes me to places I would of never been and I get to experience people that I would of never had a chance to meet. It's like I get to live more than one life.
I can pick and choose where I want to go! I can pick any book I want according to my mood.
I don't know when my love of reading began. I think it started when I was in elementary school and read the Boxcar Children and Little House series. I remember when I was 13 and during summer break, I started writing down all the books I've read. I had a dictionary nearby for difficult words. Reading was an escapism for me. Today, it's for entertainment, leisure, learning, and a little escapism.
I love to read because it helps me relax and takes me to another place. It's nice to escape for a few hours!
Cindy what I love about reading is that is is relaxing and that it can take you to a place far away from the real world. Reading makes me very happy. Thank you for the chance Cindy Roesel.
I found books by age 3. They have been my companion, my confidante, my life-saver.
Words are my art. I breathe them in and colors flow, music sways, and clay speaks.
I love Ann Hood's work. Her voice understands my heart.
Books are the stuff of dreams that light the path I follow in this life.
Reading was my escape and my teacher and sometimes my teddy bear when I was young. And now. Still is.
I love reading because it relaxes me. Books help me escape into a different time and place and situations I wouldn't normally experience. You always learn something from reading.

EUROPE - Seafood products are among the most widely traded food commodities in the world, with total trade estimated at US$ 145 billion per year. As demand for healthier diets increases, opportunities for trade in fish and fish products are expanding. How countries can benefit from those opportunities was the subject of a regional workshop in Armenia.
FAO, in cooperation with EUROFISH and the Armenian Ministry of Agriculture, organized the three-day workshop for Central and Eastern European countries interested in international and intraregional trade in fish and fishery products, livelihoods and food security.
Representatives from Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Georgia, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, FYR Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia and Ukraine participated.
Capture fisheries and, to an increasing extent, inland aquaculture play an important role in the economies of many of the countries.
Fish processing for export represents a significant source of hard currency earnings and employment. Current low levels of fish consumption in these countries, and an abundance of rivers and lakes, indicate potential for improving food security using this natural resource.
The European Union is the world's largest importer of seafood products, currently importing 68 per cent of the seafood it consumes, and actively working to increase the volume of fish farmed within the EU.
traceability of seafood products along the value chain.
A session was also devoted to the controversial topic of voluntary seafood certification, commonly known as eco-labeling.
The current round of multilateral trade negotiations (the WTO Doha Development Agenda) remains stagnated on the issue of fisheries subsidies. However, some of the major trade issues facing the fisheries and aquaculture sectors are outside the realm of WTO negotiations, namely market measures that are either voluntary (eco-labels) or supported by governments to insure resource sustainability and deter Illegal Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing.
"International seafood value chains are evolving and becoming increasingly complicated," said Audun Lem, deputy director of FAO's fisheries and aquaculture policy and economics division.


At Altitude Dental, we are dental implant specialists. The dental implant procedure places an artificial tooth root into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth, provide a permanent tooth structure and to cosmetically look like a natural tooth.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth. When completed, a dental implant will look and feel like a natural tooth. The benefit of using dental teeth implants is that they don't rely on neighboring teeth for support and they are permanent and stable. Cosmetic dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.
The abutment - the piece that connects the implant device to the final restoration.
Support for your jaw: When teeth are missing the jaw bone in that area decreases. A dental implant bridge helps maintain and support that bone.
Enhance function: Missing teeth prevent the jaw from making proper chewing motions. Over time, improper jaw function can lead to further complications of the jaw, such as TMJ.
Re-establish a natural look to your smile.
How long will it take to finish my implant?
The length of treatment time varies according to your specific needs and your oral health. There are different phases of implant treatment and each one is reliant upon your ability to heal, how much bone you have in the mouth, the health of your surrounding teeth and gums, your finances and the extent of treatment that you desire. Dr. Vaida will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your specific dental needs.
We treat each implant case individually and therefore the cost depends on what is needed after Dr. Vaida has evaluated your oral health and the area needing the dental implant.
Dental implants have been used successfully for many decades and with careful maintenance, they will function for many years. With very good oral hygiene, regular recall appointments and avoidance of smoking, your dental implant has every chance of lasting for many years. Dr. Vaida, of Altitude Dental, is one of the Greater Vancouver Area Dental Implant Specialists and is available to provide you with advice on the best option for your oral health needs.
If you are interested in finding out more about dental implants and if they are an option for you, then call our dental office and book your dental implant consultation today.

76ers coach Brett Brown wants Ben Simmons taking one 3 a game
Yaw Mintah Featured, Foreign, Top Stories Leave a comment 128 Views
PHILADELPHIA — What would Brett Brown like for Christmas? One 3-point shot per game from his All-Star point guard.
After his Philadelphia 76ers routed the hapless Cleveland Cavaliers 141-94 at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday night, Brown was asked about Ben Simmons taking — and making — his second 3-pointer of both the season and his career.
And, in response, Brown said he'd like to see Simmons take at least one of them a game — every game — moving forward.
"This is what I want," Brown said, "and you can pass it along to his agent, his family and friends. I want a 3-point shot a game, minimum. The pull-up 2s … I'm fine with whatever is open. But I'm interested in the 3-point shot. The mentality that he has where he's turning corners and taking that long step, that gather step, and bringing his shoulders to the rim and trying to dunk or finish tight, will equal higher efficiency, or getting fouled. That's the world that interests me the most. Those two things."
When Simmons made his second career 3-pointer in the second quarter, the game was already well out of reach, with the Sixers going up by 40 points in the first half and over 50 at times in the second while spending the final 24 minutes on cruise control. Philadelphia's win, along with Dallas' 46-point rout of New Orleans earlier Saturday, marked the first time in NBA history two teams won by at least 45 points on the same day, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
But on a night that was spent almost exclusively waiting for the final buzzer to sound, the sight of Simmons cleanly and calmly catching in the corner in front of Cleveland's bench, rising up and burying a triple was the one meaningful moment to come out of it.
"I'm getting more comfortable," Simmons said after scoring a career-high 34 points to lead the Sixers, who are now 11-0 at home heading into Sunday's game here against their Atlantic Division rivals, the Toronto Raptors. "Obviously, throughout time I'm getting more comfortable with the game, and just learning my spots. And just adjusting."
What hasn't adjusted is the reaction to Simmons making a 3-pointer from the hometown fans. Like when he made one in the preseason, as well as the one he made against the Knicks, the crowd erupted after he hit it, and fans yelled at him to shoot more 3s during the game.
That Simmons has succeeded as much as he has without a 3-point shot thus far — he won Rookie of the Year in 2018, made an All-Star team last season and signed a max contract extension with Philadelphia this summer — is an indication of his natural talent level.
And while the fan reaction to him making a simple catch-and-shoot corner 3 is over the top, there is no arguing the importance of that shot to a Sixers team that is desperate for any kind of shooting it can get.
"The drama of it is overblown," Brown said. "The reality [is] that he can shoot and it's ultimately going to need to come into his game in a pronounced way from an attempt standpoint, that's not overblown. I think the drama surrounding it is completely overblown. When I put on my coaching hat and I'm looking at a 23-year-old young man trying to grow his game, it's completely, first, in his wheelhouse. And, secondly, he will be liberated. His world will open up.
"And I think, in many ways, so will ours."

Far from the newcomer on the block of holistic remedies, iodine has been a traditional remedy used by doctors in years past as an antiseptic and natural antibiotic. As far back as 2700 B.C. records show that Emperor Shen Nung used seaweed for the treatment of goiters. Pliny, Vitruvius and Juvenal describe prevalence of goiter in the Alps and use of burnt seaweed for treatment in 40 B.C. Dr. Weston A. Price reported in 1939 that certain primitive cultures used iodine to successfully treat goiters.
Why Did Iodine Fall out of Favor?
It was during World War II that patented pharmaceuticals like penicillin and sulfa drugs began to replace iodine. In 1969 Drs. Drs. Jan Wolff and Israel Lyon Chaikoff erroneously theorized that large amounts of iodine were harmful. Unfortunately, a large portion of the medical community bought their theory and recommended dosages of iodine in the United States dropped to a low of 150 mcg. daily. This stands in sharp contrast to the average Japanese intake of 12 mg. or more daily.
Iodine is present in every organ and tissue in the body. It is key to intelligence, proper fetal development, the health of salivary glands, endometrium, prostate, ovaries and skin.
Research has shown that women with good iodine status bear smarter children. Researchers at Bristol and Surrey universities in England studied 1,040 pregnant women and discovered that children born to mothers with even mild iodine deficiencies had lower IQs and reading levels.
Iodine is present in every organ and tissue in the body. It is key to intelligence, proper fetal development, the health of salivary glands, endometrium, prostate, ovaries and skin. Iodine assists in many bodily functions including detoxification of radiation and toxic metals, especially mercury; thins excess phlegm and mucous; improves water metabolism and relieves water retention; cleanses the lymphatic system and blood; and supports thyroid function. It is necessary in order for the thyroid gland to produce adequate amounts of thyroid hormones, in particular T4. Additionally, it helps alleviate liver stagnation. This plays a significant role in the liver's ability to convert T4 to the more biologically active thyroid hormone, T3.
Part of iodine's vital role in both thyroid and liver health contributes to protecting the breasts from abnormalities. It is used therapeutically to assist the body in resolving breast cysts, as well as uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. Iodine deficiency is a common finding in cases of fibrocystic breast disease, breast cancer and other hormone driven cancers such as prostate, ovarian and uterine cancers. Essential to breast development and protective against cysts, iodine desensitizes estrogen receptor in the receptors in the breasts. Iodine reduces estrogen production in overactive ovaries, making it therapeutic for those suffering from estrogen dominance, premenstrual syndrome and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
In my clinical experience, iodine is one of the best support minerals for acne and eczema. It is also an important antioxidant as well as an inducer of apoptosis in cancerous tumors. It has anti-sclerotic properties making it beneficial for use in persons with atherosclerosis. Historically iodine has been used to treat syphilis, malaria, scarlet fever, obesity, depression, pneumonia, uterine fibroids and prostatic hypertrophy.
The best food sources of iodine are wild ocean fish and seafood. Seaweed (marine algae) products such as kelp, nori, dulse, hijiki, arame and wakame. Use caution in choosing seaweed products since the Fukushimi nuclear power plant leak. Avoid products from Japanese waters.
Several laboratories now are able to determine whole body iodine sufficiency through the use of a 24-hour collection test. It is very simple, cost effective test and available through my office. We also offer iodine patch testing. This requires a 2" square patch of iodine be painted on the arm or thigh and assessed for its length of time present on the skin. The faster the body absorbs the iodine, the greater the need for iodine.
100-400 times the USRDA of iodine is recommended by expert doctors such as Guy Abraham, M.D., David Brownstein, M.D. and many others. Supplemental sources that I recommend include Lugol's, Iodoral, Nascent Iodine and Prolamine Iodine. According to Dr. Guy Abraham, a researcher and an authority on the safe use of iodine, the daily dose of iodine should be 12.5 mg. to 37.5 mg. daily. The Japanese live longer and have lower rates of breast and thyroid cancer than any other population. And as we all know, they generally have very high levels of intelligence. Could it be the iodine?
Do not diagnosis or treat any disease or disorder based on the information in this post. Always consult with your health care practitioner. Use the guidance of a knowledgeable health care practitioner for iodine dosing.
