Q: Javascript ? operator: how to pass multiple parameters EDIT: I have to make this work on IE11
I have the following code:
span.classList.add(span.textContent === '\ ' ? 'char' : 'spaceChar')

It is working fine, but I would like to add 2 classes in case it's true, something like this:
span.classList.add(span.textContent === '\ ' ? 'char','animated' : 'spaceChar')

I tried using brackets but had no luck:
span.classList.add(span.textContent === '\ ' ? ('char','animated') : ('spaceChar'))

Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks

A: You can add multiple classes with classList.add by passing additional arguments, so one option is to use arrays as the conditional expressions, and spread them into the .add call:
span.classList.add(
  ...(span.textContent === '\ ' ? ['char','animated'] : ['spaceChar'])
);

This is equivalent to
if (span.textContent === '\ ') {
  span.classList.add('char', 'animated');
} else {
  span.classList.add('spaceChar');
}

The first version might be terser, but IMO the second version is a lot more readable.
IE11 does not support multiple arguments for classList.add, so even if you Babel (which is the usual go-to tool for turning ES6+ syntax into ES5), so you'll have to add each class separately:
if (span.textContent === '\ ') {
  span.classList.add('char');
  span.classList.add('animated');
} else {
  span.classList.add('spaceChar');
}

For larger number of class names, you can also use a helper method which takes an array and calls .add with each.

Copyright, Music, My Stories, Stupidity, Treating Fans Like Shit
The Copyright Games
July 23, 2016 destroyerofharmonycollusion, Copyright. hijacks, corruption, lobbying Leave a comment
It is big dollars to an artist when they sell their copyrights to a business entity to administer. For example. Downtown Music Publishing will have paid Nikki Sixx some dollars to acquire his Motley Crue song catalogue.
Deals like these are meant to be a partnership between publisher and artist where both benefit. The Publisher forks out some cash as an incentive and then aims to recoup that investment by licensing the songs to commercials, movie/tv placements, gaming or some other outlet that requires music. The publisher keeps a portion of the income and then charges an administration fee on the rest.
But, these days, publishers and record labels have amassed a lot of copyrights and when they have business models based on holding these copyrights, you have a copyright system that benefits a corporation more than an artist. So that gives them power in negotiations.
And is YouTube really that bad to the recording industry. Read the Guardian article about how the existing power players believe YouTube is "anti-artist".
So can someone tell me how these existing power players find a hardware maker called Apple as "artist-friendly" and how those same people find a music service like Spotify and Pandora as "anti-artist". Let's not kid ourselves here. Most artists (old and majority of new) want the 1980's pay structure, the signing bonus, the $20 CD, even though it cost the label, $1 to make. But these same people love free gmail, free Facebook, free something else. And yet they still scream to be paid like it's the 80's. As the Guardian article states;
"Although many have a conflicted relationship with YouTube, there is a generational conflict dividing the field. Those in the "old" music industry want to keep things the way they always were, nailing down copyright in every way possible. Yet around them a "new" business is emerging – prescient and whip-smart artists, managers, labels and media organisations – who see YouTube as a facilitator of a creative renaissance rather than a death sentence."
Is the system perfect?
Of course not, however neither was the music eco-system when the record labels controlled it and due to lobbying the labels had a government granted monopoly on it. But would the artist prefer. Napster like piracy that offered $0 into the eco-system or a platform that offers millions. And when you combine this platform with other streaming platforms and other ways to monetise music, you get to see different income streams. Because the people have spoken and they don't want overpriced CD's.
"With all the major label contracts coming up for renegotiation it makes absolute sense [to attack it]. These are huge businesses run by intelligent people and as much as it's a mud-slinging exercise at the moment, I am hopeful they will reach a middle ground where artists are being [properly] remunerated and YouTube continues to grow its platform and its offerings to artists. YouTube has given us and many independent artists an audience and an opportunity to build a brand. That's allowed us to exercise a business that goes far beyond what's on YouTube."
And with all of these deals being made, the companies holding the copyrights want the Government to step in and change the royalty rates because the artist is getting screwed and not them. So, on one side you have Music publishers like ASCAP and BMI, along with their "stars" arguing that streaming has led to a reduction in songwriters' income. Lucky the Justice Department of the US declined their request.
"And in a move that has caused widespread worry throughout the music publishing world — the side of the business that deals with the lucrative copyrights for songwriting — the government has also said that, according to its interpretation of the consent decrees, the music agencies must change a major aspect of how they license music. The agencies must now adopt a policy known as "100 percent licensing," which means that any party who controls part of a composition can issue a license for the whole thing. In the case of major pop hits, which tend to have many songwriters, there can sometimes be a dozen or more parties involved."
And now the business model based these publishers have based on a government granted monopoly by extending copyright laws is threatened by another government decision. But hey, "artist friendly" Apple is putting in their own request to increase the royalties because if that does happen, it will kill off all of Apple's competitors like Spotify and Pandora. And then Apple will have a business model based on another government granted monopoly.
Seriously to see how fucked up copyright is, the fact that a politician needed to settle with Rude Music, the company owned by Frank Sullivan from Survivor for $25,000 because of "copyright infringement" is a joke. Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee used "Eye of the Tiger" during a rally. And this is somehow copyright infringement because Rude Music believes he should have asked for permission. The truth is, Frank Sullivan doesn't agree with views of the politician and wants the populace vote.
And Queen has joined a long list of artists to send cease and desist letters to Donald Trump because even though his campaign does the right thing and pays a licensing fee to the publishers to use songs in their catalogue, if the artist disagrees with the views of the politicians they believe they have a power to stop it. All in the name of being liked.
To close out my rant, the Electronic Frontiers Foundation sums up my copyright argument in one nice paragraph.
And on it goes. Again and again, large content owners seem to think that the only way to fight unauthorized media consumption is to expand copyright. But more copyright won't change users' behavior. What it will do is chill innovation and free expression online. The way to bring in more paying customers isn't to write new law; it's to build a better product and get it to more customers at the right price.
A to Z of Making It, Classic Songs to Be Discovered, Derivative Works, Influenced, Music, My Stories, Unsung Heroes
July 18, 2016 destroyerofharmonySeal The Deal, story, Volbeat 2 Comments
I've got a lot of time for Volbeat. For any aspiring artist who believes all they need to do is write a song and everyone will love it, read no further. For any aspiring artists that wants the truth about the music business and how hard you need to work, then read on.
Volbeat without a doubt are a hard-working band, that tours like crazy, building their audience, city by city, state by state, country by country. Known in Europe prior to 2010, it wasn't until Metallica put them as openers on the U.S Death Magnetic trek that Volbeat started to get traction in the U.S. And then their albums started selling. And then they went out on their own, and the shows kept on selling out.
But the story of Volbeat goes back a long time.
Michael Poulsen from Volbeat was in a death metal band called Dominus from 1991 to 2000. Then he formed Volbeat in 2001, a pseudo supergroup of extreme metal musicians. His musical journey began 10 years before Volbeat was formed and almost 20 years before he broke through in the lucrative U.S market.
Their first album came out in 2005. American success came knocking in 2012. To U.S audiences, Poulsen became an overnight success however that success was a long time in the making and a large part of those years dealt with being ignored.
The very essence of the internet is that only excellence rises to the top. And that which rises and lasts usually has an innovative twist to it. Volbeat merged rockabilly, country and metal into a commercial property. A band like Coheed and Cambria introduced a whole new style of storytelling, making each album a mass media event that involved novels, comics and music. When Metallica broke out they merged the NWOBHM scene with fast tempos and then with progressive time changes. When Rage Against The Machine broke out they merged rap with classic rock pentatonic riffs aided by Morello's grasp of effects. When Tool broke out, they merged various prog rock acts with new wave acts with metal acts into a cacophony of sounds and style known as Tool.
Recognition and success comes much later . In Volbeat's case their entry in the mainstream American market was a long time coming. Hell their first gold certification in the U.S was 20 years in the making. It is the lifers who last. The success they had in the U.S from 2010 onwards, is based on a song that was released on their 2008 album. Eventually the audience will catch up with the artist and when it happens the artist needs to be around to capitalise on it. Volbeat released "Outlaw Gentlemen And Shady Ladies" in 2013, and they still had their 2010 album "Beyond Heaven, Above Hell" selling decent numbers.
How many artists today can claim that stat?
The hardest thing today is to make a new fan or to get people to check you out. So anywhere music can be played, your stuff should be there. Volbeat do just that. Check out their Spotify stats if you don't believe me.
"Still Counting" is at 52,740,671 streams. From the new album, "The Devil's Bleeding Crown" is at 8,405,750 streams. For comparison, Metallica is the biggest metal band on the planet and "Enter Sandman" is at 87,118,248 streams. As you can see, Volbeat are not that far off when it comes to listens.
And if you haven't checked the new album, Volbeat sealed the deal with me via three songs.
"The Devil's Bleeding Crown"
Falling from the sky
Cast out from heaven's light
Drenching the soil with blood
Baptized in the fire hole
It's storytelling.
They gathered all the children outside the church
And never would they know what went on in there
Close the door and hear all the angels scream
Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, oh mercy please
I really dig the swampy sludgy feel of the tune. It's classic metal/rock.
A sixties bubblegum vibe/feel smashes head on with a heavy metal freight train. That is the only way I can explain this addictive song.
Left my heart on the shelf for way too long
Sick and tired, picking up from the dirty floor
I saw the line of snakes that came to me
Sold my soul and signed my name in blood
Stole it back, now praying in the dark
Fooled the devil, begging for a fight
Count the dollars, make your bet tonight

"Blizzard Of Ozz" is 39 minutes long. A year later, "Diary Of A Madman" comes out and it clocks in at 42 minutes. Ozzy built his career on these albums. Two albums in two years.
"You Can't Stop Rock'N'Roll" from Twisted Sister is 38 minutes long. A year later, "Stay Hungry" comes out as a tight, nine-song, 37-minute set. Like Ozzy, Twisted Sister built their career on the backs of these albums.
"Kill Em All" is 51 minutes long. "Ride The Lightning" is 47 minutes long. "Master of Puppets" is 54 minutes long. Three albums in the space of three years and Metallica's career is defined and built. In comparison, "Death Magnetic" is 75 minutes long and we are approaching EIGHT years between releases with the opus scheduled for an October release.
"The Number Of The Beast" is 39 minutes long . "Piece Of Mind" is 45 minutes long and "Powerslave" is 51 minutes long. In the space of three years, Iron Maiden built a career on the backs of these three albums. In comparison, "Book Of Souls" is 92 minutes long and it was released six years after their previous album.
"Highway To Hell" is 41 minutes long. "Back In Black" is 42 minutes long. "For Those About To Rock" is 40 minutes long. Three defining albums in the space of three years and AC/DC went from an Australian band to global superstars. In comparison, "Black Ice" is 55 minutes long and "Rock Or Bust" is a return to a normal time length of 35 minutes long. Although the quality is just not there and their main riff meister is missing in action.
"Heaven And Hell" is 39 minutes long and a year later "Mob Rules" came in at 40 minutes in length. Two albums in two years and Black Sabbath's career is resurrected as a commercial force. For Ronnie James Dio, it was 5 studio albums and six years, and when the 42 minute long "Holy Diver" dropped in 1983, the foundations to Dio's solos career are set.
What are these figures trying to say?
You don't need 60 to 90 minutes' worth of new music to be released on one slab at one time every two to three years. People don't have spare hours. They have spare minutes. You need 30 to 40 minutes of new music to be released more frequently. Based on the past, bands got traction by releasing new music every 12 months.
Labels want albums because it is easier to charge money RIGHT NOW when there is a bundle of songs involved. Artists want albums, because they grew up on them and they want to be like their heroes and make a statement.
However the album means nothing to the listener who has a digital music collection. While the label heads and the artist want to be paid right now, the fan/listener thinks differently. And the difference between now and the past, is that the listener can influence the outcome.
You buy a track or an album and you could play it once. Maybe you could play it a hundred times or a thousand times or a million times. The artist and their label will never know how many times you played the track. All they will know is the ONE sale and all the money they would have received is from the ONE sale. But if you stream a track a million times, the artist will know. But listens pay less than sales and listens pay when a track is streamed! And if it is streamed a lot it will pay.
Focus on listens. Fans are made by listens. We can talk about albums, but most people are listening to songs. And if a track has longevity, then so does the career of the artist.
Like when I go to "Blizzard Of Ozz", I listen to "Goodbye To Romance", "Mr Crowley" and "Crazy Train" as a must.
When I go to "The Number Of The Beast", I listen to "Children Of The Damned" and "Hallowed Be Thy Name" as a must.
Of course there are other tracks that I like depending on moods, but the ones mentioned are essentials for me.
Listens are everything and based on how copyright law is designed to last the life of the artist plus 70 years after death, the copyright holder will get paid on each and every listen, forever. And the focus should not be on making an album-length statement of 60 to 90 minutes. It should be about putting out a song that can be listened to, over and over again.
Dokken 2016
July 11, 2016 destroyerofharmonyDokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown, reunion. Don Dokken 4 Comments
It's October 1989 and the issue of "Guitar World" hits the newsstands. It was a period of change for a lot of guitarists. Steve Stevens was on the cover with the headline, "Life After Billy Idol" and right next to Stevens was a boxed picture of George Lynch with the headline "Bye-Bye Dokken".
Hard rock and metal was a commercial behemoth in the 80's and in a lot of the bands that tasted "success", you always had a guitarist that could have, should have, would have, stolen the spotlight from the lead singer. So it was no surprise towards the end of the Eighties, those guitarists actually breaking free from the band and going out on their own or via a new band where they are the band leader.
Think Jake E. Lee, Steve Vai, George Lynch, Steve Stevens, Zakk Wylde and Slash all going their own ways.
But this post is about Dokken, a very talented band mired in chaos and resentment. The fact that Don Dokken got a record deal under his own name via songs written by George Lynch and Mick Brown was enough of an earthquake to shake the foundations.
So when a band from this era gets back together for the money, what should we expect?
As Don Dokken puts it;
"I approached George and Jeff, and I said, 'You guys wanna make a s—load of money for about one week of work?' And I told them the price, and I told them how much I wanted and how much they'd make, and, basically, they could make more money in one week than they'd probably make in several years. And so everybody said, 'Okay,'". So I said, 'Well, I'll do it on the condition that I don't wanna do it in America or Europe or anywhere else. Just six shows in Japan.' 'Cause we were very big in Japan, and it's just a reunion tour. So they agreed, and we're gonna do six shows in Japan."
25 plus years from 1989, one thing is certain; the sound and the songs do not remain the same. I for one would pay to see the band live if they came to Australia, however it would be for nostalgic reasons more than anything.
The last time the members of the classic 1980s lineup got together was for on November 29, 2009 at the House of Blues in Anaheim, California for a two-song encore of "When Heaven Comes Down" and "In My Dreams". Reunion talks happened and went.
A recent set list from Lynch Mob show attended by 200 fans, shows that George Lynch should be in fine form to play the songs.
Included in the 12 song Lynch Mob set are "When Heaven Comes Down", "Into the Fire", "The Hunter", "Mr. Scary" and "Tooth and Nail" from Lynch's Dokken days. Would "Mr Scary" make an appearance in a Dokken concert in 2016. Even Don Dokken had a dig at the Lynch Mob "bar gigs".
"I feel bad for my agents, 'cause they're getting bombarded from these offers for us to play these big festivals all over the world as a reunion, but I'm just not interested. I'm sorry, I'm just not. Jeff's busy. He plays like crazy in Foreigner. He's on the road. George is out, you know, playing the bars with Lynch Mob, so everybody's busy."
I am just picturing Lynch asking Dokken why he said what he said before the first show of the reunion. Because if you believe what Jeff Pilson said on Mitch Lafon's podcast, there should be no more digs at each other;
"We're actually working really hard to try and pull something together right now. It has to fall in spaces where there is time off [from my gig with FOREIGNER], so I don't know for sure whether it's gonna happen. So let's just say we're all friendly now, we're all past all the decades-old crap, and we all talk and everything's great. Now it really is just down to scheduling and trying to figure it out. Because, you know, you've gotta do it right, if you're gonna do it. We all feel that way."
Guess Don Dokken has gotten over the decades old crap.
Is the drama of Dokken worth it?
A Japanese promoter believes so. But being huge back in the 80's doesn't mean you are still huge right now because bands need to replenish their fan base with the younger generations.
Has Dokken done enough to replenish its 80's fanbase with kids born in the Nineties and Two Thousands?
Is it about the fans or more about the payday?
So many questions, yet so few answers. One thing is certain, expect to hear more Dokken stories as the shows get closer.
Pilson is already talking about a musical track that he and Lynch wrote and sent to Don for lyrics and vocal melodies. If Don, doesn't complete it, would there be resentment?
For me, Dokken holds a special place and the fact that on their day they could be one of the heaviest speed metal bands around (think "Tooth and Nail", "Turn On The Action", "Lightning Strikes Again", "Kiss Of Death", etc…) or the most melodic poppy metal band out there with "In My Dreams", "Just Got Lucky", "Alone Again", "Into The Fire", "Heaven Sent", etc.. is brilliant.
I suppose we all should get ready for Dokken 2016 and the stories the reunion would bring to our lives.

Zbór Kościoła Zielonoświątkowego "Charisma" w Lublinie – jeden z zielonoświątkowych zborów działających w mieście, będący wspólnotą protestancką o charakterze ewangelikalnym i charyzmatycznym.

Pastorem zboru jest Bogdan Perenc.

Działalność
Nabożeństwa zboru odbywają się w niedzielę o godz. 10:00. Składają się z dwóch zasadniczych części: uwielbienia oraz kazania. Podczas uwielbienia wierni przy akompaniamencie różnych instrumentów muzycznych (m.in. fortepianu, gitary, perkusji) oddają chwałę Bogu przez śpiew, modlitwy, klaskanie w dłonie, taniec itp. Podczas nabożeństw dostępne są różne usługi, m.in. wkładanie rąk  oraz dary duchowe, jak mówienie językami, czy proroctwo. Ważnym elementem każdego nabożeństwa jest modlitwa. Miejscowy zbór za swoje szczególne intencje wybrał modlitwy o Izrael, przebudzenie w krajach islamskich, polski rząd i rynek pracy, przebudzenie w kraju, ożywienie duchowe i ekonomiczne lubelszczyzny oraz przemianę duchową, dary duchowe i nowe miejsce spotkań dla zboru. Kazanie jest wygłaszane wyłącznie na podstawie Biblii. Zbór obchodzi regularnie Wieczerzę Pańską pod obiema postaciami. W trakcie nabożeństw organizowane są zajęcia dla dzieci w ramach szkółki niedzielnej (trzy grupy wiekowe: 4–6; 7–9; 10–12). Spotkania modlitewne zboru odbywają się dwa razy w tygodniu (poniedziałek i piątek) o godz. 18.00.

Młodzież spotyka się ponadto na spotkaniach we własnej grupie wiekowej. Podczas tych spotkań poruszane są różne tematy, zarówno typowo biblijne, jak i dotyczące codziennego chrześcijańskiego życia. Młodzież Kościoła zaangażowana jest w działalność EuroMission Polska. Przy zborze działa również grupa muzyczno-uwielbieniowa, która prowadzi uwielbienie podczas coniedzielnych nabożeństw. Przy zborze działa także punkt poradnictwa chrześcijańskiego.

Preiskel, Harold / Wilson, Nairn
Attachment Systems for Mandibular Two-Implant Overdentures: A Review of In Vitro Investigations on Retention and Wear Features
Alsabeeha, Nabeel H. M. / Payne, Alan G. T. / Swain, Michael V.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to review the published literature on in vitro articles investigating the retentive force or wear features of different attachment systems, specifically for mandibular two-implant overdentures using an unsplinted prosthodontic design.
Materials and Methods: An electronic search was performed through PubMed, Embase, and Medline databases using Boolean operators to combine the following key words: "retention," "wear," "overdenture attachments," "attachment systems," "implant-retained overdentures," and "implant-supported overdentures." The search was limited to articles written in English published up to October 2008. In addition, a hand search through articles and reference lists retrieved from the electronic search and peer-reviewed journals was also conducted.
Results: From a total of 193 articles, only 15 met the specified inclusion criteria for the review. These articles provided evidence that the majority of attachment systems for mandibular two-implant overdentures demonstrate a reduction in their retentive force under in vitro conditions. Wear was unquestionably implicated as the etiologic factor for the loss of retention; however, the specific mechanisms involved in the wear process have not been researched adequately. Findings from the literature have also implicated several factors that influence the retentive force of the attachment system and its wear features; compelling evidence on its precise role however, is still lacking.
Conclusions: Further in vitro investigations of the factors involved in the retention and wear of attachment systems for mandibular two-implant overdentures are still needed. These factors must be investigated separately under well-controlled conditions to limit the influence of confounding variables on their outcome.
Forced Eruption of a Solitary Nonrestorable Tooth Using Mini-Implants as Anchorage: Rationale and Technique
Smidt, Ami / Gleitman, Joseph / Dekel, Mikhal Steinkeller
Purpose: The need to place a restoration's margins on sound tooth material may require crown lengthening or forced eruption. The latter intervention may benefit from a severance of the tooth's circumferential fibers during the orthodontic process in an effort to stabilize the bone level. Orthodontic appliance design for the extrusive action, especially in the absence of neighboring teeth, may require the use of mini-implants, which are a useful adjunct in such situations.
Materials and Methods: This case history describes the management of a maxillary left canine that lacked sound tooth material in the cervical zone for a proper ferrule. It was diagnosed as requiring extrusion so as to recruit it into an abutment role for a fixed partial denture design. This treatment modality was considered more favorable compared to the alternative of a crown lengthening procedure. The tooth in question was a strategic abutment in an old and failing porcelain-fused-to-metal fixed prosthesis.
Results: Fiberotomy permitted rapid extrusion of the canine and available sound tooth margins for crown preparation with a proper ferrule.
Conclusion: Following 28 days of tooth stabilization the implants were easily removed and treatment continued as originally planned.
Plaque Accumulation on Exposed Titanium Surfaces and Peri-implant Tissue Behavior. A Preliminary 1-Year Clinical Study
Baldi, Domenico / Menini, Maria / Pera, Francesco / Ravera, Giambattista / Pera, Paolo
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate plaque accumulation and peri-implant tissue response adjacent to machined and dual acid-etched (DAE) titanium implant surfaces.
Materials and Methods: Two types of implants were used-control implants with a DAE surface in their apical portion and a machined coronal part, and test implants with a DAE surface throughout their entire length. A total of 10 sets of implants were placed in the posterior quadrants of eight patients, with at least 2 implants (1 control and 1 test implant) placed in each site. Machined healing abutments were placed on the control implants and DAE-surfaced healing abutments on the test implants. Plaque Index and bleeding on probing (BOP) were recorded together with histologic and microbiologic analyses of the peri-implant tissues. The healing abutments underwent a scanning electron microscope scan at 5 months postsurgery. Standardized radiographs were also taken at the time of implant placement and 3, 6, and 12 months postsurgery.
Results: DAE surfaces accumulated more plaque than machined surfaces (P < .0006) and the plaque was assessed as more difficult to remove (P < .0143). No histologic abnormalities were seen and the test implants showed significantly lower crestal bone resorption than the control (P <.0174).
Conclusion: DAE healing abutments showed an increased plaque accumulation, but no significant BOP differences or histologic analyses were found between test and control sites. The test implants showed less interproximal bone resorption than the control ones at the end of a 1-year follow-up evaluation.
Short Communication: The Responsiveness of the Liverpool Oral Rehabilitation Questionnaire (LORQ): A Pilot Study
Pace-Balzan, Adrian / Butterworth, Christopher / Lowe, Derek / Rogers, Simon N.
This study aimed to evaluate the responsiveness of denture patients to the Liverpool Oral Rehabilitation Questionnaire (LORQ). Changes in scores for 20 core items completed from 2000 to 2005 by 16 patients both before and after oral rehabilitation were assessed. The median age of respondents was 68 years and the median time between questionnaires was 2.6 years. Results indicated that masticatory efficiency impacted both food choice (P = .03) and social life (P = .06). After rehabilitation there was less worry about maxillary prostheses falling out (P = .07), less embarrassment while conversing (P = .02), and less worry about losing self-confidence from embarrassment caused by dentures (P = .06). Also, drooling problems deteriorated (P = .03). This exploratory study reports encouraging findings, but a larger prospective multicenter study is required to determine the responsiveness of the current version of the LORQ (version 3).
Profiles of 500 Patients Who Did and 486 Patients Who Did Not Respond to a Prosthodontic Treatment Questionnaire
Layton, Danielle / Walton, Terry R.
Purpose: This paper aims to analyze the demographic and prosthodontic treatment differences between patients who did and did not respond to a mailed questionnaire.
Materials and Methods: All living patients who received tooth- and implant-related fixed prosthodontic treatment between January 1984 and June 2005 (n = 986) in one private prosthodontic practice were mailed a questionnaire regarding their prosthodontic treatment. Demographic data (sex, age) and treatment data (survival, type of treatment, time in situ, number of units, number of treatments) for responding and nonresponding patients were collected from patient files and analyzed. Statistical significance was set at P = .05.
Results: There were 500 responding patients (50.7%) with 2,702 fixed prosthodontic units (60.02%) and 486 nonresponding patients (49.3%) with 1,800 fixed prosthodontic units (39.98%). Prostheses were in situ from 1 to 20 years, with the average time in situ for respondents of 7.47 ± 5.48 years and 6.5 ± 5.21 years for nonrespondents. Responding and nonresponding patients had similar sex distributions (P = .61), Kaplan-Meier 10-year estimated cumulative survivals (92.2 ± 1.72% and 91.5 ± 1.92%; P = .13), and received a similar distribution of treatment prostheses (implant versus tooth) (P = .24). However, responding patients were significantly older (P < .001), had their prostheses in situ for a greater length of time (P <= .01), received more prosthetic units (P < .001), and underwent more treatment episodes (P < .001) than nonresponding patients.
Conclusions: Patient questionnaires provide valid and unique research information. Prosthesis outcomes for patients who did and did not respond to the questionnaire were the same. Treatment outcomes of patients who attend review appointments and those who are lost to follow-up cannot be assumed to be different. Demographic- and treatment-related characteristics of responding patients indicated that an enhanced provider-patient rapport was a principal motivator for responding to the questionnaire.
A Systematic Review of the Clinical Performance of CAD/CAM Single-Tooth Restorations
Wittneben, Julia-Gabriela / Wright, Robert F. / Weber, Hans-Peter / Gallucci, German O.
Purpose: This systematic review sought to determine the long-term clinical survival rates of single-tooth restorations fabricated with computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacture (CAD/CAM) technology, as well as the frequency of failures depending on the CAD/CAM system, the type of restoration, the selected material, and the luting agent.
Materials and Methods: An electronic search from 1985 to 2007 was performed using two databases: Medline/PubMed and Embase. Selected keywords and well-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria guided the search. All articles were first reviewed by title, then by abstract, and subsequently by a full text reading. Data were assessed and extracted by two independent examiners. The pooled results were statistically analyzed and the overall failure rate was calculated by assuming a Poisson-distributed number of events. In addition, reported failures were analyzed by CAD/CAM system, type of restoration, restorative material, and luting agent.
Results: From a total of 1,957 single-tooth restorations with a mean exposure time of 7.9 years and 170 failures, the failure rate was 1.75% per year, estimated per 100 restoration years (95% CI: 1.22% to 2.52%). The estimated total survival rate after 5 years of 91.6% (95% CI: 88.2% to 94.1%) was based on random-effects Poisson regression analysis.
Conclusions: Long-term survival rates for CAD/CAM single-tooth Cerec 1, Cerec 2, and Celay restorations appear to be similar to conventional ones. No clinical studies or randomized clinical trials reporting on other CAD/CAM systems currently used in clinical practice and with follow-up reports of 3 or more years were found at the time of the search.
Short Communication: The Effects of Extraoral Porcelain Polishing Sequences on Surface Roughness and Color of Feldspathic Porcelain
Yuzugullu, Bulem / Celik, Cigdem / Erkut, Selim / Ozcelik, Tuncer Burak
The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties and color of porcelain modified by extraoral polishing sequences. Six different surface treatment regimens (diamond burs, self-glaze, overglaze, reglaze, Pearl Surface polishing system, and Diamond Twist SCL) were applied to 60 porcelain disks (n = 10 per group). Profilometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used for the determination of surface roughness (Ra); color changes (DE*) were investigated by spectrophotometry. Statistical comparisons were made using analysis of variance, the Kruskal-Wallis test, and the Pearson correlation coefficient test. Surface treatments significantly affected Ra values (P < .001) but had no effect on color (P > .05). AFM findings were consistent with Ra values. Color did not appear to be correlated with surface roughness (P > .05). The findings concluded that the Pearl Surface system helps to decrease chairside time and may be used as an alternative to overglazing.
Short Communication: Relative Hardness of Composite Buildups Polymerized with Two Different LED Lights
El-Shamy, Hassan / El-Mowafy, Omar
The relative hardness (RH) of five composite materials was determined through polymerization via LED lights. Disk specimens were prepared by using composites composed of Artiste, an experimental glass fiber composite, Filtek Supreme, Z100, and LuxaCore. Specimens were polymerized for 10 and 20 seconds from the top surface only with two lights, Smartlite-IQ2 and DEMI LED, with light maintained 8 mm from the surface through a coronal section of the molar tooth. Knoop hardness numbers were determined for the top and bottom surfaces both immediately and 24 hours later. Ten RH values per group were calculated and data were statistically analyzed. Generally, RH increased with increasing polymerization time. The DEMI LED light resulted in RH values that were significantly higher than those obtained with Smartlite IQ2. Z100 had RH values of > 80% under most testing conditions and had the highest hardness values of all composites tested. Therefore, it is considered to be the most appropriate for core buildups.
Clinical Performance of Cements as Luting Agents for Telescopic Double Crown-Retained Removable Partial and Complete Overdentures
Behr, Michael / Kolbeck, Carola / Lang, Reinhold / Hahnel, Sebastian / Dirschl, Lisa / Handel, Gerhard
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the survival rates and technical failures of removable prostheses (RPs) supported by telescopic double crown (TDC)-retained abutment teeth luted with zinc-phosphate or glass-ionomer cement.
Materials and Methods: Clinical records of 577 patients (288 women, 289 men) who received 577 TDC-retained RPs supported by 1,807 abutments at the Department of Prosthodontics of the University Hospital Regensburg, Regensburg, Germany, between 1984 and 2007 were analyzed. The 577 prostheses included 200 attached to telescopic crowns with friction fit (FFs), 62 to conical crowns (CCs), and 315 to parallel-sided telescopic crowns with clearance fit (CFs). Survival probabilities were evaluated for the RPs, loss of cementation of the inner copings, secondary caries, and abutment teeth that required endodontic treatment using the Kaplan-Meier method. A Cox regression analysis determined the impact of covariates such as sex, denture location (maxilla/mandible), Eichner classification, number of abutment teeth, and the type of double crown system used.
Results: The 10-year survival probability was 98.8% ± 0.09% for FFs, 92.9% ± 0.41% for CCs, and 86.6% ± 0.05% for CFs. During the observation period, loss of cementation was frequently observed (FFs: 32%, CCs: 53.2%, CFs: 21.3%). After 15 years, more than 75% of patients had experienced at least one "loss of cementation" event. In this respect, zinc-oxide phosphate and glass-ionomer cements did not show any significant difference.
Conclusion: The long-term successful outcome of the RP experience was not compromised, although numerous clinical visits were required for maintenance. The predominant maintenance procedure was the need for recementation of the inner copings.
Short Communication: Attachment of Candida albicans to Denture Base Acrylic Resin Processed by Three Different Methods
Young, Beth / Jose, Anto / Cameron, Donald / McCord, Fraser / Murray, Colin / Bagg, Jeremy / Ramage, Gordon
Denture stomatitis is a debilitating disease associated with the presence of adherent Candida albicans. This study compared the attachment capacity of C albicans to three different acrylic resin materials (self-curing [SC], conventional pressure-packed [CPP], and injection-molded [IM]) to determine whether the physical properties of the materials influenced candidal attachment. No significant differences in attachment between the isolates were observed for each acrylic resin. However, a comparison of the mean of all isolates showed significantly less attachment to SC than to CPP (P < .05). These data indicate that choice of denture acrylic resin material may influence the capacity for developing denture stomatitis.
Short Communication: Clinical Evaluation of All-Ceramic Posterior Three-Unit FDPs Made of In-Ceram Zirconia
Eschbach, Stephanie / Wolfart, Stefan / Bohlsen, Frank / Kern, Matthias
This prospective study evaluated the clinical outcome of three-unit posterior fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made of In-Ceram Zirconia. All 65 FDPs were inserted at the Department of Prosthodontics, School of Dentistry, Kiel, Germany, and cemented with glass-ionomer cement. Follow-ups were performed annually. During a mean observation time of 54.4 months, two FDPs failed (one technical and one biologic failure). Two FDPs debonded and the veneering ceramic fractured in four cases. Three abutment teeth needed endodontic treatment and two additional abutment teeth exhibited secondary caries. Results suggest that posterior three-unit all-ceramic FDPs made from In-Ceram Zirconia may be a viable prosthetic treatment option with an outcome comparable to metal-ceramic FDPs.
Evaluation of Tongue-, Jaw-, and Swallowing-Related Muscle Coordination During Voluntarily Triggered Swallowing
Ono, Takahiro / Iwata, Hisayuki / Hori, Kazuhiro / Tamine, Kenichi / Kondoh, Jugo / Hamanaka, Sato / Maeda, Yoshinobu
Purpose: The prosthodontic treatment of dysphagic patients may preclude favorable treatment outcomes due to uncoordinated or discordant oral and pharyngeal functions. Since optimal treatment requires a full understanding of the mechanism of oropharyngeal swallowing, this study seeks to describe the normal temporal pattern of tongue-, jaw-, and swallowing-related muscle coordination during voluntarily triggered swallows in healthy patients.
Materials and Methods: Tongue pressure against the hard palate at seven measuring points, swallowing sounds, and surface electromyography (EMG) activity of the masseter, anterior digastric, and infrahyoid muscles during voluntarily triggered swallowing were recorded in seven healthy male volunteers. The order of onset and offset of these parameters was analyzed by repeated-measures two-way analysis of variance.
Results: The onset of anterior digastric muscle activity occurred first and was significantly earlier than the onset of the masseter or infrahyoid muscles and tongue pressure. The onset of masseter muscle activity was also significantly earlier than that of the infrahyoid muscle and tongue pressure. Offset of masseter activity was almost simultaneous with the swallowing sound and was significantly earlier than the offset of the anterior digastric and infrahyoid muscles as well as tongue pressure. The EMG burst of the anterior digastric muscle continued until the offset of tongue pressure, and was followed by the offset of infrahyoid muscle activity.
Conclusions: The temporal coordination patterns of the tongue, jaw, and oropharyngeal muscles during voluntarily triggered swallowing appear to agree with known safe management of a bolus and offer criteria for evaluating the function of oropharyngeal swallowing.
The IJP Workshops for Young Prosthodontic Educators
Narrative: Case History 1
White, Shane N. / Zarb, George A.
The selected case history describes a 56-year-old surgical nurse who is very dissatisfied with her existing anterior removable partial denture, especially the presence of anterior diastemas, but she is unaware of any speech impediment. She also dislikes the instability, bulk, and removable nature of both of her removable partial dentures, as well as the soreness of her palatal mucosa. She expresses a desire to receive fixed implant-supported prostheses, if possible, but is open to all treatment options. She explains her need for a predictable, safe, and lifelong treatment outcome.

Q: PHP/PDO: how to handle Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() on a non-object Can someone please provide a way to handle the Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() on a non-object.
Here is my Scenario:
I have a Singleton Database Class which stores my database details and creates an instance of a PDO object when requested.
I then have the following two classes:
Base class:
namespace lib\translator;
use lib\database as db;

class EntityTranslator {
    protected $dbConn;

    public function __construct() {
        try {
            $this->dbConn = db\Database::getInstance();
        }
        catch(\PDOException $e) {
            // do some error logging here
        }
    }
}

Sub class:
namespace lib\translator;
use lib\entity as entity;

class RequestTranslator extends EntityTranslator {

    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function createRequest() {
        $request = new entity\Request();
        try {
            $stmt = $this->dbConn->prepare("CALL createRequest()");
            $stmt->execute();

            $rowCount = $stmt->rowCount();
            if ($rowCount == 1) {
                $row = $stmt->fetch(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

        // do stuff with the data here
            }
            return $request;
        }
        catch (\PDOException $pdoe) {
        // do error logging here
        }
    }
}

Now, I am not wondering why the error occurs. I am trying to handle the very rare case when my database connection is not available and the PDO object instantiation (done via the call to db\Database::getInstance()) throws an exception, resulting in the variable $dbConn remaining null.
I realise, it would be possible to test $dbConn for null before using it each time. But As I stated, this should be an exceptionally rare situation and may in fact never occur, so I don't think that checking for null each time is a smart performance choice.
I would like to be able to add on another catch(\Exception $ex){} block to handle what is essentially a NullPointerException (as seen in Java) but PHP does not provide for such an exception. Rather they issue the Fatal error: Call to a member function prepare() on a non-object.
So what I am looking for, is a way to handle this error, for this situation, without checking for null each time.
Maybe I have missed the basic concept of error handling in PHP, but I have not been able to find a definitive resource on this topic.
Any suggestions?

A: public function createRequest() {
        $request = new entity\Request();
        try {
            if(!is_null( $this->dbConn)){
            $stmt = $this->dbConn->prepare("CALL createRequest()");
            $stmt->execute();

            $rowCount = $stmt->rowCount();
            if ($rowCount == 1) {
                $row = $stmt->fetch(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

        // do stuff with the data here
            }
            return $request;
          }
        }
        catch (\PDOException $pdoe) {
        // do error logging here
        }
    }

A: You can't catch and recover from Fatal Errors in PHP. You can register a shutdown function to report details of the last error, but nothing like a finally block in Java.
More detailed explanation here:
How do I catch a PHP Fatal Error
I would recommend checking for null each time - compared to other things your code is doing, this is an inexpensive call.

A: Why is your application allowed to call RequestTranslator::createRequest() anyway, when, at the time of instantiating RequestTranslator, you already know whether or not the database connection has instantiated properly?
Shouldn't your application logic be something like the following:
try
{
    /*
     * the following line should throw
     * SomeMeaningfulException when it
     * is unable to connect to the database
     */
    $rt = new lib\translator\RequestTranslator();

    /*
     * this line should not be reached
     * if the above throws SomeMeaningfulException
     */
    $rt->createRequest();
}
catch( SomeMeaningfulException $e )
{
    /* $rt database connection has not instantiated properly */
}

In other words, if you ask me, the constructor of RequestTranslator should already throw SomeMeaningfulException if it is unable to instantiate the database connection when the object's methods are that dependant on functioning properly:
class EntityTranslator {
    protected $dbConn;

    public function __construct() {
        try {
            $this->dbConn = db\Database::getInstance();
        }
        catch(\PDOException $e) {
            // do some error logging here
            throw new SomeMeaningfulException( 'some meaningful message' );
        }
    }
}

If this is somehow not preferred, then I don't see why checking for null is that much of an issue. I agree with others, that the performance penalty is probably neglectable.

• Activity / Our reports to international bodies
Human rights in the territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine along the delimitation line and in so-called Luhansk People's Republic and Donetsk People's Republic (2017)
Submission for the third cycle of the Universal Periodic Review
Human rights in the territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine along the delimitation line
Almost 3 years have passed since the start of the Russian Federation's aggression on the territory of Donbas and the beginning of an armed conflict. The Russian aggression led to the establishment of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic ("LPR") and Donetsk People's Republic ("DPR").
Since there are no prospects for an early end to the occupation of Donbas territories, it is necessary to examine the social reality that has emerged in the LPR and the DPR and, in particular, the human rights situation, both at the normative level and in practice.
Contact line (delimitation line, "grey zone") – the conditional delimitation of Donetsk and Lugansk regions, in fact – buffer zone of settlements and territories controlled by the Government in which the authorities of Ukraine do not conduct or carry not in full its powers, including the territories if self-proclaimed LPR and DPR.
Typical human rights violations in the so-called "grey zone"
Dead and wounded as a result of shelling and explosions
According to the High Commissioner of UNHCR from mid-April 2014 till December 1, 2016 in Donbas were killed at least 9758 people, including more than 2,000 civilians. A further 22,800 people were injured. In this number includes soldiers and civilians who died or were injured on both sides of the conflict. Data of Ukrainian authorities are different.
Inappropriate demining
Since the beginning of the military conflict in the Donbass 1,205 cases undermining of people were recorded. The data provided by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine are the next: 403 of the victims - civilians, 68 of them - children[1].
It did not take appropriate actions for reducing the number of accidents of mine explosion of civilians and soldiers on mines and other explosive devices. Demining is very slow and selective.
Problems in the investigation of cases of causing deaths and injuries of civilians
The facts of causing deaths and injuries in parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions controlled by Ukrainian authorities are registering into the Unified Register of pre-trial investigation (hereinafter - URPI), but the investigation is quite inefficient.
Firstly, the local police often do not register information about the crime with the purpose to reduce the negative statistics on crimes related to the conducting of ATO.
Even if such information were included to the URPI, there is no single approach how to qualify such crimes. In particular, some episodes of killings and injuries of civilians was submitted to the URPI under Article 258 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (hereinafter - the CCU) - terrorism, and some - for article 115 of the CCU (premeditated murder), if people were injured – under Article 15 and Article 115 of the CCU (attempt to murder).
Secondly, criminal proceedings are opening by local police and automatically transferring to the Office of Security Service of Ukraine (hereinafter - SSU) in the Donetsk and Luhansk region, located in Mariupol and Severodonetsk, respectively, for further investigation, which does not conduct appropriately, according to the interviewed victims.
Thirdly, persons who were injured or relatives of dead persons are often not recognized as victims in these criminal proceedings. For obtaining of this procedural status they need to send motion to the investigator, who in most cases refusing to satisfy it and there is need to appeal such refusal to the investigating judge.
Fourthly, there is a tendency to underestimate the number of deaths of civilians using incorrect indication of causes of death. In particular, the KHPG's monitors received confidential information about the fact of a pressure to forensic experts with the purpose to induce them to change the real causes of death related to the ATO (mine-explosive trauma, gunshot wound, etc.) to domestic (household injury, explosive injuries that not concerning the ATO), or even the natural causes of death (heart attack, pneumonia, etc.).
Violations of property rights - destroyed and damaged property
During the all period of conducting the ATO the violations of the silence had occurred almost every day on the contact line. It caused many damages and destruction of residential buildings, multifamily and private. Both sides of the conflict are using weapons of lethal force, to the civilian targets as well, particularly in residential areas, residents do not know when the next attack will be. These attacks are not planned and controlled so as to reduce or minimize harm to the civilian population of the use of lethal force.
For almost 3 years Ukraine has not developed an effective mechanism for compensation of damage that was caused to real and personal property of civilians. There is no court practice in civil proceedings for recovering such damages. Some settlements have no district inspectors of police or their schedule contains only a few hours a week. Citizens, whose property was destroyed or damaged, are unable to contact the police for initiating the criminal proceeding's opening.
Violations of children's rights to a safe environment and education
The KHPG's monitoring team had recorded the next situation: there is no proper school in the territory controlled by Ukraine (Lopaskino, Lobachevo towns) so children every day in a small boat are crossing the river to the uncontrolled by Government territory. This situation is well-known by Tryohizbenka military and civilian administration, but no steps to address it has not been done.
In addition, children under three years of constant fighting received varying degrees of psychological trauma associated with the situation. Many children saw injury or death of relatives or friends, which led to grave consequences for the normal development of the mind, but there is still no state program for the relevant psychological rehabilitation.
Violation of the right to a safe crossing of the delimitation line
There are some problems in check point of entry and exit "Stanitsya Luhanska" – the only one checkpoint in Luhansk region that is working. It is the need of significant of logistic, reducing of time for waiting and creating normal conditions for people crossing the delimitation line, especially for those who couldn't wait long because of state of health. The safety should be ensured for civilians, passing through the line of demarcation and for persons providing this crossing.
In addition, we are concerning of frequent attacks to the check-points that lead to injuries and deaths of civilians (the latest case - December 2016 – check-point "Mayorske"), as well as numerous cases of subversion in mines and shells near check-points on roadsides.
Human rights in the so-called Luhansk People's Republic and Donetsk People's Republic
Violations of human rights in the quasi regulatory framework of the LPR and DPR
Human rights and fundamental freedoms are violated in the LPR and DPR already at the normative level.
The Constitution of the LPR contains provisions that lead directly to the violation of the Convention. For example, Article 22 section 5 contains the following 'gem': "Censorship is prohibited, except as provided by law," which is in breach of Article 10 of the Convention. Article 5 section 4 reads: "The sale of land is prohibited in the Luhansk People's Republic", which goes against Article 28 that guarantees the right of ownership, and leads to the violation of Article 1 of the First Protocol to the Convention.
Direct violations of human rights are also laid down in ordinary legislation. The acts 'On the mass media' prohibit the distribution of foreign periodicals without the permission of the registration authority. This prohibition applies to the media financed by foreign countries, legal persons or citizens. The same acts ban foreign journalists from working in the DPR and LPR without accreditation. All of them are disproportionate restrictions on freedom of expression, protected by Article 10 of the Convention.
The requirement of accreditation laid down in the acts applies to all journalists coming to the DPR and LPR, not just to foreign ones. It should be noted that an accreditation in the LPR and DPR means much more than just the registration of journalists: it actually introduces access control. Without presenting an accreditation pass a journalist cannot speak to any official.
Many odious norms that violate human rights can be found in the Criminal Code and Criminal Procedure Code, both of which are part of the quasi-regulatory framework of the DPR and LPR. For example, "wilful refusal by a head of an organisation or a citizen to repay substantial payable debts or to repay securities after the entry into force of the relevant judicial act" is punishable with imprisonment of up to two years. This provision of the Criminal Code of the LPR is a medieval vestige, directly contradicting Article 1 of Protocol 4 to the Convention (prohibition of imprisonment for debt). The Criminal Code of the DPR provides for death penalty as a punishment.
So, the violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms are directly enshrined in the legislation, a fact which will inevitably lead to systematic and massive violations of human rights and entail further violations.
Civil and political rights and freedoms
In the 16th report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights states that "armed groups regularly subjected detainees to torture and ill-treatment" and provides many examples (pp. 47-56). There are many reports of enforced disappearance. Thus, in July 2016, three young taxi drivers had gone missing in Luhansk in one day between 22.00 and 23.00. At this time in the curfew begins. All three missed drivers had special permission for working during the curfew. Young people were working in taxi service. They received calls by radio to different areas of the city and after that they gone missing. A few days later all three cars were found in different parts of the city. One of the taxi drivers, 27-year-old Dmitry Krylov, found the morning after the disappearance, he was dead without knife or gunshot wounds.
On freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, freedom of information, freedom of assembly and freedom of association in the self-proclaimed republics inhabitants should not even dream. In the local media there are no alternative points of view, media is using very aggressive terminology. Even just an attempt to speak impartially on the Internet can lead to repression. So, bloggers from Luhansk Eduard Nyedyelyayev and Gennadiy Benytskiy were accused of "extremism" (punishment - up to 4 years in prison) for publishing in their blogs critical materials on "authorities of LPR". Both were forced to publicly confess (we can only guess that means for this purpose), Nyedyelyayev even confessed on spying. Two young football team fans of "Zorya" from Luhansk - Vlad Ovcharenko and Artem Akhmerov were accused of "treason" (sanction - to 15 years imprisonment) by just sharing their views.
People living in the two republics are frustrated, and the sense of disappointment, hopelessness and depression prevails. People are tired of the war, uncertainty and disbelief. They do not trust any authorities and do not expect anything good in the future. The negative attitude towards the Ukrainian authorities is supported by aggressive Russian propaganda, and is reinforced by the memory of the dead and wounded, and the deprivation of housing and other property as a result of destruction. The expectations that the young republics supported by the Russian Federation would succeed have been replaced by disappointment. The most optimistic residents continue to hope that these difficulties are temporary and will be overcome. Nevertheless, families with children who attend high school are trying to find possibilities for their children to graduate in the controlled area, pass the final exams and go to college in the controlled area.
It should be noted that the number of hours for teaching Ukrainian language and literature drastically reduced. For example, for Ukrainian literature it's only one hour a week.
The social and economic rights in the DPR and LPR
In the spring of 2015 pensioners and public sector employees began receiving regular pensions and salaries/wages in Russian roubles. Payments were made on the basis of the previously received pensions and salaries using the conversion rate of 1 UAH = 2 RUB, even though the actual exchange rate varies from 2.4 to 2.8 roubles, depending on the location. The minimum pension of 2,000 RUB (1,000 UAH) actually turned into 760 UAH (minimum pension on the controlled territories is 1,130 UAH).
Our analysis of the food component in the minimum consumer basket in the cities of Ukraine and DPR/LPR shows that the prices on almost all food products except bread/grains are higher in the LPR and DPR than in Ukraine, with some prices being substantially higher. It is known that a subsidy has been introduced for bread/grains. It should be noted that the prices on utilities in the LPR and the DPR have remained unchanged, i.e. they are significantly lower than in Ukraine. Petrol is also noticeably cheaper.
According to the data from the Ministry of Economic Development of the so-called DPR, 'the average monthly number of actual population in 2015 in the whole of the Donetsk People's Republic was 2,277.2 thousand people, of whom 68% live in the three largest cities of the DPR: Donetsk (962.0 thousand people), Makeyevka (382.8 thousand) and Gorlovka (210.0 thousand people). A similar distribution was recorded for the average recorded number of people in full-time jobs, which amounted to 346.4 thousand people in the whole Republic, or 15% of the total population. In the three major cities, the figures were, respectively: 146.1 thousand, 55.3 thousand and 30.3 thousand people.
The average monthly salary of one full-time employee in 2015 in the regions and cities of the Donetsk People's Republic varies widely: from 4,685 Russian roubles in Gorlovka to 10,850 Russian roubles in Zhdanovka. In Donetsk, the figure was 6,782 Russian roubles. The average monthly payments per retiree are somewhat less varied: in 2015 they ranged from 2,619 Russian roubles in Telmanovski district to 4,368 Russian roubles in Zhdanovka.
Thus, with the higher prices on staple foods, the income received by residents of LPR and DPR is substantially lower than the one in areas controlled by Ukraine.
