The Spiritual Benefits of Technology in a Time of Crisis
By Brett Robinson, Catholic News Service
View or download article
"Gather 'round the TV, kids, it's time to pray." Those are words I never thought I would utter as a Catholic media studies professor who has spent the past 20 years studying the effects of media on children and families.
And yet, for the past few weeks during the coronavirus quarantine, I have found myself saying those words every day at noon as we gather to "attend" Mass at a church in England that offers a daily livestream. The experience has forced me to reevaluate our relationship with media technology as a Catholic family in a time of crisis.
As a kid, I can remember watching Mass on television during a particularly bad snowstorm in Pittsburgh, where I grew up. It was a little unsettling, but it also sent a powerful message. To this day, I still tell my parents that watching Mass on 1V in that snowstorm left more of an impression on me than anything I learned in catechism class. It showed that my parents put such a high value on witnessing the holy sacrifice of the Mass on Sundays that we weren't going to miss it, even if it meant watching it on 1V.
Shouldn't the opposite be true? Didn't watching Mass on 1V cheapen the experience by hollowing out its embodied and sacramental character? Under normal circumstances, perhaps. If we could travel to Mass safely, there was no reason to watch on 1V. But then there's the story of St. Clare of Assisi who, when she was too ill to attend Mass, was granted a vision of the liturgy that was projected onto the wall of her room. It's why St. Clare is now the patron saint of television. All of this came into particular focus on Friday, March 27, 2020, when Pope Francis delivered an "urbi et orbi" extraordinary blessing to an empty St. Peter's Square. Unable to attend because of the pandemic, the faithful were invited by the Holy Father "to participate spiritually through the means of communication."
We watched as a family as Pope Francis ascended the stairs of St. Peter's alone in the rain as evening descended on the empty streets of Rome. The images were stark and arresting. There was a sad beauty in the emptiness.
The thought of praying with the pope and the rest of the world while adoring the Blessed Sacrament was a consoling reminder that God's love and mercy is not confined to any particular place. The televised experience provided a fitting analogy for God's ability to transcend the temporal and physical constraints of this world to unite the church through spiritual communion.
There is a very good case to be made about the corrosive effects of television that have accumulated over the past half-century. But our recent need to see and hear the prayer of the church while being separated from it has attenuated those effects for the moment. For now, as our television culture gives way to a digital culture that has yet to reveal its own lasting effects, the 1V is providing a spiritual lifeline to the church that has been physically separated but remains spiritually intact.

This weekend was a little bit split as far as gaming goes. I spent about four hours in SkyForge and the rest of it wandering around in Final Fantasy XIV. I had a bunch of side projects that I never really got off the ground. One of the things about being a tank is that you are constantly getting called on to do tanky things. Last night for example, I had all intentions of simply wandering around the new zones doing hunt mobs, but I ended up getting drafted to tank both Neverreap and Fractal Continuum for a friend who just dinged 60. Since this would allow him to unlock the content, and be yet another possibility for a daily expert roulette, as well as providing three of us in the dungeon run some tasty tasty first time bonus, I did not mind giving up my relaxing evening of hunting to help out.
Both runs went fairly smoothly other than Warenwolf falling off the side of the final boss in Neverreap. Luckily we had the stamina to go ahead and finish that boss without him. Fractal Continuum went extremely smoothly other than some annoyances with bomb placement on the final boss. Luckily the loot gods seemed to be at least a little favorable and Waren walked with a bow and some other items helping him inch towards that all too critical level 170 mark for Alexander. It is my hope that in this last week we will have increased our item level enough to be able to put a good attempt in on Bismarck Extreme tonight. I found out that apparently the dps constraint is that you be able to break the spine in a single attempt without also blowing every cooldown. Wednesday we were able to break the spine, but it was a "just barely" situation and we absolutely had to abuse every cool down available to get there.
Last night I had a moment when I was overcome with warm fuzzies. Folks were doing what they always do and filling my screen with green happy spam, and somehow it came around to the discussion of the free company. I am not sure if I remember who started it but someone made the comment that they were happy that I had recruited them into the guild, because if not for that they probably would not be playing. Then in a burst of activity a bunch of people chimed in with pretty much the same thing. So I wanted to talk a bit this morning about how much all of my guildies mean to me. There are so many days where I have had a rough patch, that I can log into our free company and within moments of seeing the cheery conversation I am in a much better mood. Having a happy guild family is ultimately what helps me keep returning to one game over another, and ultimately is what keeps me engaged in Final Fantasy XIV.
Sure the game is awesome, but having this big group who is willing to drop what they are doing to help someone else out, makes the experience so much better. Yesterday during the evening I worked through a backlog of dungeon runs that I had recorded, and came across a video that didn't turn out quite as intended. Since the launch of Heavensward the guild crafters as lead by Solaria have been working away on making us an Airship. When it came time to launch it for the first time a good chunk of us gathered in the workshop basement of the guild hall. In part we hoped a cut scene would happen, and as a result I had OBS rolling away in the background recording the event. While the event did not turn out as I had expected, looking back on the footage it makes me exceptionally happy to see so many of my guild members roaming around in one place. I love the housing district for the constant flow of guild members popping in and out as they go off to other adventures, and this moment was probably the largest meeting of sorts we have had. It made me realize that we need to do something like this more often.
The SkyForge open beta finishes up this Wednesday and in the mean time I plan on playing for a little bit each night. I have to admit while there are still problems with the game for me, it is growing on me in ways I can't quite fathom. During yesterdays run I finally figured out something that had been bugging me. I said in my videos and in my blog posts that it seemed like the combo system was largely ineffectual, and for the most part this is true. However I noticed on my character to the right of the health bar was a charge counter of sorts marked with a lightning bolt. This is directly above the dodge counter that shows how many times in a row you can dodge, and how long before the counter regenerates when they are all spent. This lightning bolt number tied to the special combo attacks, and if I use a combo while I have a charge available it does significantly more damage. However any additional combos while that charge is regenerating end up being largely useless.
Knowing this is a thing, made combat feel more purposeful. Essentially I had one special move to use every 30 seconds or so, because that seemed to be roughly how long it took to regenerate a charge. When that ability was not available however I could happily wail away on the target then set up for the next special attack. This little bit of information seemed to dynamically change the way combat felt. Additionally doing the more open world zones, seemed much more enjoyable to me given that if I started wailing away on a boss, chances are someone would come along behind me to help me finish it. Running around with a group of other players also made me realize just how little damage the paladin does comparatively. In all honesty… I might end up playing quite a bit more of this game because it feels like I am starting to grasp the reason why it does the things it does. It is not the sort of game I would ever play as a primary mmo, but I have been enjoying playing it in these short bursts, where I complete a single objective and then log back out for awhile.

NEED FOR POLICY ON SAFE ROAD TRANSPORTATION
DwarkaParichay.com April 30, 2019 News-Events, Update
Eminent road safety experts and stake holders from Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, state transport departments, CBSE, NCERT, Ministry of Human resources, Schools and Fleet Operators taking part in the Two day conference on 'Formulation of Draft Policy for the Safety of Transporting School Children' which concluded here today have stressed on the need of a comprehensive National Policy for Safe Mobility of School Children using all modes of transportation which plugs the gaps and provides solution safe transport to school children in the country.
" The proposed policy on safe school transport should stablish a simple, robust, cost-effective system including proper school bus design and maintenance, sound driver qualifications and continual training, as well as a regulatory framework are some of the key factors for a safer school transport system, said a new World Bank paper which offers recommendations on how to ensure the safety of children in school buses based on examples and best practices from other countries." said Dr Rohit Baluja, President ,Institute of Road Traffic Education (IRTE) while releasing the recommendations
"The interest of providing safe school transport is in line with the existing government strategies of 'Education Priority' and 'People Orientation'. By using these platforms to pursue improvements to school buses, vans and other modes of transport , drivers, and the regulatory framework in combination with more vigorous enforcement of traffic laws, emphasis on sustainable financing, and heightened public awareness, India is poised to make a breakthrough in the provision of safe school transport." Said Dr Baluja.
"The school transport draft policy document is not only for India but both for India and South East Asia to incorporate the following domains: roles and responsibility, road environment, vehicle factors, standard operating procedures as well as the curriculum of training of important stakeholders dealing with the transportation of school children in all modes of transport including both motorised and non-motorised means, enforcement, and post-crash management." He added.
"The school transport policy should be granted permission to operate only if they formally accept, adopt and implement this policy. The policy should be publicised and be made available free of cost for all schools to adopt. There is a need to develop a robust system of gathering all types of data regarding accidents, modes of transportation and other demographic factors involving school going children and school transportation. " Dr Baluja Said.
"While AIS Standards for School- bus bodies have been legislated in April 2019, there is an urgent need to define the standards for other motorised and non-motorised means of school transportation. These include vans, mini-vans, auto rickshaws, and E-Rickshaws " he added .
Some of the eminent participants at the conference will include Mr Abhay Damle, Joint Secretary, MoRTH, Mr Sudeep Lakhtakia, Bureau of Police research & development, , Dr Robert Nowak, UNECE, Ms Jo fung, Transport Division, UNESCAP, Mr Pemba Wangchuk, Bhutan Road Safety and Transport authority, ,Mr Saroj Kumar Pradhan, Department of Roads, Nepal, Dr Jae hoon Sul, Korea transport Institute, Dr Sewa Ram, School of Planning and Architecture, Mr M S Upadhye, Chief Security Commissioner, Metro Rail (DMRC) .
SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE TOLES AND RESPONSIBILITY OF STAKEHOLDERS
Since Road Safety is a subject that cannot be dealt with in isolation, an integrated model of inter-ministerial collaboration needs to get formulated for ensuring a safe travel experience to the school. Safe, secure and inclusive school transportation is a joint responsibility of the State, School and the Parents.
Identify all stakeholders and clearly define their role and responsibility and seek their collaboration to work in close coordination to develop the policy and implementation plan across Centre and States.
Given that road transport comes under the jurisdiction of the respective State governments, Centre-State coordination is a must with similar structures at the State level to make the road environment safer around schools.
The State cannot absolve itself of the responsibility of providing adequate cost effective and safe transportation for school going children.
Public bus service coordinated with other modes of transportation must be planned carefully after making a study of demand. This will reduce the burden on parents who are forced to send their children on overloaded means of non-formal transport or use personal vehicles for the same.
Since Transport Department is the nodal authority for the traffic and transport management in any State/Union Territory, it becomes the responsibility of the Department to update legislations and codes of practice from time-to-time based upon the needs of safety.
Driver licensing, vehicle licensing and enforcement of vehicle standards of transport vehicles is the responsibility of this department. Therefore it is important to ensure that drivers of school transport are properly trained and assessed, and they receive post license training to keep them updated with changing legislation. School transport vehicle fitness must receive priority and that unfit vehicles must not be allowed to operate.
Education Department need to ensure
That sanction of schools should be governed by the criteria of neighborhood schools, availability and permission of transport.
That already existing school should take responsibility of ensuring that students are using safe modes of transport.
That road environment outside schools traffic circulation does not hinder safety, security and discipline.
That schools submit detailed reports with cases of accidents causing serious injury and death to their students, which may be caused in any jurisdiction.
That Road Safety Education by the medium of the hidden curriculum is imparted through the existing subjects of the school curriculum to students on a regular basis.
Schools need to
Ensure that admission of students is governed by the criteria of location of residence to fall within a maximum distance as may be defined by the department of education.
Be responsible for safe traffic circulation outside their school premises. They need to take necessary permission for halting and parking of vehicles outside from local traffic police/authorities.
Provide data on type of transportation, distance travelled by students to the education department.
Ensure that none of the students are underage, without licenses or not using seatbelts/helmets when driving into schools or parking their vehicles within their school zone.
Involve PTA's to review safety norms, support the school during peak hours when the school opens and.
Train their teachers in the methodology of providing road safety education and awareness to students through the already existing subjects of school curriculum( hidden curriculum)
Constitute a Road safety committee/team which would monitor the safety and security of all students in their transport systems. This would be one of the functions of the School Management Committee which is in charge of the safety and security of school children.
Ensure that rules and regulations are strictly enforced in their jurisdiction as far as school transportation is concerned.
Under age driving, driving without effective driving license must be strictly enforced.
All eleven violations spelt in the Chapter of legislation/enforcement within the school zone should be enforced strictly and brought to the knowledge of school authorities.
Congestion outside schools during opening and closing hours must be dealt with effectively.
Bring road safety education to schools by highlighting issues and problems which they observe locally.
Should encourage the use of public transport wherever possible for their children commuting to school.
Must ensure and take responsibility that their children who are underage, or who do not have effective driving license not to drive motor vehicles.
Should encourage their children to walk or bicycle to school where ever possible.
Should encourage car/vehicle pooling.
Should offer help to schools towards the development of safety norms and support safer management of traffic outside schools during opening and closing hours.
ROAD ENVIRONMENT
Principles of road and traffic engineering within the School Zone should be based upon the Safe Systems Approach. The design and operation of the road system should guide the road user towards safe behaviour and also to mitigate the consequences of common human errors of children.
There is a need to formally integrate the design principles and definitions of school zones and buffer zones within the Codes of Practice of The Indian Road Congress (IRC) and consequently these zones should be demarcated within the existing and future road environment.
The Buffer Zone is a zone for preparing the motorist that he/she is about to enter a school zone, these requirements therefore are primarily for the implementation of road maintenance agencies who are responsible for the installation of traffic control devices as well as undertaking traffic engineering measures.
The School Zone should be most recognisable to all road users. It should be the responsibilities of all responsible road agencies to install and maintain recommended traffic control devices prominently. These should be done in coordination with the local police/traffic police and school authorities and must conform to the legislation (Motor Vehicles Act)
The definition of School Zones should be integrated in the legislation i.e. the Central Motor Vehicle Rules /Motor Vehicle (Driving) Regulations and State Motor Vehicle Rules wherever necessary, so that the eleven type of road traffic violations as spelt in the Chapter of Legislation can be effectively enforced.
The recommended traffic engineering management techniques should be further discussed and defined for different and varied road environments such as hilly areas, highways, congested urban areas etc., by the IRC in co-ordination with State/UT Governments.
Speed management is a crucial area of definition and implementation within the school/buffer zones, and this must receive priority by all concerned stake holders.
Pick-up and drop locations in and around residential areas should be defined in consultation (as mentioned in this chapter) and appropriate signage of bus stops should be installed accordingly.
LEGAL INSTRUMENTS, CODES OF PRACTICE & ENFORCEMENT
Safe transportation for school children needs to be seen within the larger framework of rights for road users that includes pedestrian rights. There is a need for the development of comprehensive legislation for road safety and safe mobility for children and their commute to schools. All public transport must be strengthened to meet the safety guidelines and needs of school going children
This policy recommends the following to be included in the proposed amendments to the Motor Vehicles Act 1988, or other similar legal instruments dealing with the safety and transportation of school children.
It is important that provisions within the legislations should be need-based and these must be appropriate, reasonable, well understood communicated and enforceable.
A new provision needs to be introduced "Zero Tolerance for Protection of Children" under which the following areas are recommended.
Concept and definition of a 'School Zone' should be included.
Eleven types of traffic violations to include –
Wrongful overtaking
Not giving right of way to pedestrians
Jumping a traffic signal
Driving under the influence of drugs /alcohol
Driving without an effective driving licence/underage driving
Wrongful U turns
Wrongful parking
Driving backwards and
Use of handheld mobile phone.
3. Should attract double the quantum of fines when such offences are committed within the defined school zone. Furthermore these violations should also qualify as 'Dangerous driving' under section 184 of the Motor Vehicle Act/Section 279 of the Indian Penal Code.
A new provision describing the responsibilities of Caregivers has been recommended
The Regulations/Codes of Practice framed under Sections 109/110 of the Motor Vehicle Act 1988 with respect to construction and maintenance of motor vehicles should be extended beyond buses to auto rickshaws, e-rickshaws as well.
An amendment to section 185 is recommended:
School transport drivers as well as conductors should have 0% alcohol mg/100 ml while on duty.
Road Safety Education /Awareness for School Children should be provided within the legal framework as recommended in this chapter.
Fines & Liability of underage driving should be made higher and stricter. Parents/those responsible for allowing children to drive motor vehicles should be booked for these offences. It is recommended that school authorities should be included under this provision for such offences within their school zone.
Faulty, wrongly or missing installation of traffic control devices within the school zone by responsible road authorities should be considered as negligence and consequently penal provisions should be adequately framed.
While training and assessment of drivers has been defined within the legislation, it is recommended that it should be made mandatory for commercial vehicle drivers especially those transporting school children to renew their licences every three years after obtaining refresher training and assessment thereof.
Proper and timely management of RTIs among school going children calls for a comprehensive and coordinated action on all fronts, including on the ground incident management, by all the concerned stakeholders like the Parents, Schools, Hospital and Police.
Schools need to have a well-defined emergency response system and a band of well-trained first responders to help handle road crash incidents and their aftermath through prompt interventions of first aid, resuscitation and communication with appropriate authorities for timely assistance.
Schools need to identify and train people as First Responders. They can be from the parent, teacher and driver community.
Need to develop a robust data collection and invest in research studies for better understanding of RTIs among school-aged children, their prevention and management.
EDUCATION, AWARENESS AND TRAININGS
All School Drivers/Riders/Pullers need to undergo customised post licence training and refresher courses. These can be organised by the school or enforcement agencies highlighting the role, attitude, responsibility, accountability and safe practices while carrying school children in their vehicles.
Specialised trainings on Safe School Transportation need to take place for School Authorities, School Transport Manager, Parents, Parent School Associations, First Responders and Enforcement Agencies like the Traffic Police and the Road Transport Officials.
Select Teachers need to be trained in every school on Road Safety Education and its pedagogy so that they can impart the training to their students through the hidden curriculum.

Teratoma refers to a neoplasm that recapitulates all three germ layers. Teratomas may be histologically mature and oncologically benign. Teratomas may also be histologically immature while being oncologically benign, or they may harbor malignant components and have the potential to exhibit an aggressive biological behavior. Teratomas of the head and neck are extremely rare and usually present in the neonatal period. As a general rule, pediatric teratomas of the head and neck tend to be oncologically benign, whereas adult teratomas tend to be histologically and oncologically malignant. Most of these teratomas are found in the cervical region and nasopharynx. Calcification within the mass is often evident.
A 27-year-old Caucasian man complaining of a nasal obstruction was admitted to our clinic in January 2006. A transnasal endoscopic examination revealed a mass arising from the nasal septum which was completely removed using an endoscopic approach. Histologically, it was determined to be a benign teratoma.
Herein, we present a rare case, along with a review of the related literature, in order to emphasize that a benign teratoma of the nasal septum should not be ignored.
Teratoma
Nasal Obstruction
Activate Partial Thromboplastin Time
Dermoid Cyst
Benign teratomas are solid and cystic tumors composed of a variety of both immature and mature tissues derived from all three germ layers. The epithelial component of a benign teratoma usually consists of mature squamous epithelium and immature intestinal or respiratory epithelium. Primitive neuroepithelium with rosettes, pseudorosettes or neurofibrillary matrix predominates in some tumors. Pigmented retinal epithelium can also be seen. The mesodermal component consists of fibroblasts and embryonic, immature spindle cells embedded in a myxoid matrix. Islands of cartilage, smooth muscle cells, and skeletal muscle cells exhibiting varying degrees of maturity may also be present.
Teratomas of the head and neck are extremely rare and usually seen during the neonatal period. While pediatric teratomas of the head and neck tend to be benign tumors, adult teratomas tend to be histologically and oncologically malignant. Calcification within the mass is often evident. Sinonasal masses present with nasal obstruction symptoms. The presenting symptoms are those associated with a sinonasal mass. Radiologically and grossly, these tumors are heterogeneous and composed of solid and cystic components [1].
The following should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal teratomas: immature teratomas, teratomas with malignant transformation, sinonasal yolk sac tumors, sinonasal teratocarcinosarcomas, dermoid cysts, hamartomas, and hairy polyps. While teratomas can be surgically resected, malignant teratomas also require adjuvant radiotherapy [2].
A 27-year-old Caucasian man who had been suffering from a nasal obstruction for eight years was admitted to the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, the Ministry of Health Izmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital in January 2008. His past medical and family history did not include any abnormal or notable features. A mass with smooth surface, arising from the left posterior side of the nasal septum and filling the whole nasopharyngeal cavity, was seen on his endoscopic nasal examination. Other systemic examinations were normal. Complete blood count (CBC), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) were normal. A soft tissue mass with lobulated margins was seen on computed tomography (CT) scan. Calcification was present in the septa. The mass extended from the posterior nasal septum to the pharyngeal space on the right and the nasal turbine on the left (Figure 1A and 1B). A punch biopsy was performed and the biopsy specimen was reported as sinonasal papilloma.
(A and B) Axial and coronal computed tomography sections. No adipose tissue or cystic components were seen on the computed tomography (CT) scan.
The nasopharyngeal mass, approximately 4cmx3cm in size, was completely resected under local anesthesia via an endoscopic approach within our clinic (Figure 2). No complications were seen during the early postoperative period.
Photograph of the nasopharyngeal mass. The nasopharyngeal mass was approximately 4 cm × 3 cm in size and was totally resected under local anesthesia via an endoscopic approach.
Histopathological examination with hematoxylin and eosin staining revealed a semi-cystic nasal teratoma consisting of mature epithelial and mesenchymal components (Figure 3A and 3B).
Histology of the nasopharyngeal mass. (A) Hamartomatous appearance resembling upper airway epithelium and consisting of septum bone frame, mucosa, mucosa-associated glands, and loose connective tissue stroma (hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), X40). (B) An epithelial component, loose connective tissue, and stroma-forming cystic structures were evident, partially covered with epithelial cells (H&E, X40).
The patient was followed up by periodic examinations for eight months and no recurrence was seen during this postoperative period.
Teratoma refers to a neoplasm that recapitulates all three germ layers. Teratomas of the head and neck are extremely rare and usually seen during the neonatal period. In general, lesions in the head and neck region account for approximately 5% of all benign and malignant germ cell neoplasms. Common sites of involvement include the neck, oropharynx, nasopharynx, orbit, and paranasal sinuses [3]. Mature teratomas of the sinonasal tract are even less common. Most of the cases occur in neonates and older infants, with equal distribution between girls and boys. In the sinonasal tract, the maxillary antrum and nasal cavity are affected more often than the sphenoid sinus. Common manifestations of mature teratomas include facial deformity, nasal obstruction, and a nasal mass [4].
Teratomas may be histologically mature and oncologically benign. Teratomas may also be histologically immature while being oncologically benign, or they may harbor malignant components and have the potential to exhibit an aggressive biological behavior. As a general rule, while pediatric teratomas of the head and neck tend to be oncologically benign, adult teratomas tend to be histologically and oncologically malignant [1, 4].
The following should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sinonasal teratomas: immature teratomas, teratomas with malignant transformation, sinonasal yolk sac tumors, sinonasal teratocarcinosarcomas, dermoid cysts, hamartomas, and hairy polyps. Immature teratomas and teratomas with malignant transformation are tumors of infancy and early childhood, whereas sinonasal yolk sac tumors and sinonasal teratocarcinosarcomas have only been documented in adults [4–6]. Immature teratomas of the sinonasal tract are rare. Immature teratomas tend to be either solid-nodular or solid-cystic, while mature teratomas are usually cystic. Teratomas with malignant transformation are neoplasms composed of benign tissue elements of all three germinal layers, but which also have acquired somatic malignancy. Sinonasal yolk sac tumors are neoplasms with histological features of the embryonic yolk sac [5, 6].
Sinonasal teratocarcinoma has a marked male predominance. These neoplasms almost exclusively arise in the ethmoid sinus and maxillary antrum. Patients usually present with a short history of nasal obstruction and epistaxis. Imaging studies reveal a nasal mass, occasionally accompanied by opacification of the paranasal sinuses. Bone destruction may be seen. Teratocarcinosarcomas are highly malignant. They are locally aggressive, rapidly invading soft tissue and bone as well as the orbit and cranial cavities. They also have the potential to metastasize to regional lymph nodes and distant sites, mainly the lungs. A dermoid cyst is a developmental lesion histogenetically and histologically composed of ectoderm and mesoderm, but not endoderm. Dermoid cysts of the nose account for 3% of all dermoid cysts and about 10% of those of the head and neck region. Dermoid cysts of the head and neck are located more often in the subcutaneous tissue of the lateral supraorbital ridge and nose. In the nose, they occur most commonly in the bridge and always in the midline. A few cases of dermoid cysts arising from the paranasal sinuses have been reported. The term hamartoma refers to an abnormal, oncologically benign proliferation of indigenous tissues. The sinonasal tract, particularly the area of the nasal septum, is the most common site for hamartomas of the head and neck region. At the histological level, benign disorganized epithelium, salivary glands, muscle, and cartilaginous and vascular tissues are seen [4–7].
The ideal treatment for mature teratomas is total surgical excision. Sinonasal teratomas are associated with high mortality rates, despite the utilization of different modalities in the treatment.
In our case, histopathological examination revealed epithelial and mesenchymal components, and the diagnosis of benign teratoma was established based on these findings. In the literature, benign teratomas arising from the nasal septum have only been described once in a young adult [8].

Here's our first look at the Motorola Moto G8 with a triple-lens rear camera
The primary lens of the Motorola Moto G8 appears to be a 48MP sensor. Hopefully, this device lands in the United States!
C. Scott Brown
We recently got our first look at the Motorola Moto G8 smartphone, courtesy of reliable leaker Evan Blass. So far, we have several promo images as well as a short video clip to give us an idea of what to expect from the G8.
If you feel like you've already heard about the Motorola Moto G8, that's because you have — at least, in a way. Motorola has already launched the Moto G8 Plus alongside the Motorola One Macro and the Moto E6 Play, all of which are likely not coming to the United States.
However, the Motorola Moto G8 will likely hit the US as the follow-up to the popular and well-reviewed Motorola Moto G7, which is one of the best budget devices from the past year.
Check out the leaked photos of the device below:
As you can see, the star of the show when it comes to the Motorola Moto G8 is its rear triple-camera system which includes a 48MP primary sensor. We aren't totally sure yet if this is the same triple-lens system as we saw on the Moto G8 Plus, which, in our review, wasn't the greatest.
Aside from the rear camera system, the Moto G8 comes with a waterdrop notch on the front, a rear fingerprint sensor, and three bold colors. Check it out in motion in the GIF below (courtesy of The Verge):
We don't know anything about potential pricing yet for the Moto G8, but it will likely be in the $300 range. The Moto G8 Plus sells for £239 (~$306) in the United Kingdom, so a $300 price point for the Moto G8 here in the States makes sense.
We also don't know anything about a release date. We do expect to see Motorola launch its revival of the Motorola Razr on November 13, so it's possible the Moto G8 will launch then, as well.
What do you think? Are you in the market for a budget device? Is the Motorola Moto G8 on your radar? Let us know in the comments.

El Hassana Dome National Park is a unique geological formation in Giza, Egypt. In fact, it created 100 million years ago. The park designated a natural protectorate in 1989. It was by Prime Ministerial Decree 946/1989. In fact, the park currently threatened by encroaching urbanization and construction works. El Hassana Dome National Park located in the area of Abu Rawash which is 8 Kilometer from Giza Pyramids. Moreover, it features geological importance and richness in fossils. It first discovered in the mid nineteenth century. In fact, El Hassana Dome name owes to its dome shaped hills. It also owes to its location at the end of El Hassana Valley.
Furthermore, the dome is 149 meters high. The highest points from its eastern part raises 109 meters. In fact, El Hassana Dome National Park split in two by the Cairo Alexandria Desert Highway. Its western side is rich in chalky sediment-ed hills and seashells. They are along with plant and animal fossils dating back to the Upper Cretaceous Period. Moreover, it is 135 million years old. With an area of just one square kilometer, El Hassana Dome National Park is one of Egypt's smallest. In fact, it not a well known tourist destination. Moreover, it surrounded by urbanization and the pollution that accompanies that it.
The upscale New Giza housing project lies at its southern border. A network of pipelines currently installed along its eastern side. Moreover, quarries operate in the vicinity and commercial farms found along its southeast border. El Hassana Dome National Park does not receive many visitors. It is except those interested in geology and paleontology. They are along with students on scientific school field trips. So the protectorate is not disturbed or polluted by visitors.
The geological richness of the National Park, first discovered by Gustave Le Febrve. He was a French engineer. He commissioned by Mohamed Ali Pasha in 1839. It was to survey the area around the Pyramids of Giza. To someone who is neither a geologist nor a paleontologist, there may not be much to see here. El Hassana Dome National Park looks like an ordinary plot of desert with hills. But to specialists, El Hassana Dome National Park does resemble an open air prehistoric museum.

Arnold Weislo and Annabelle Delaval complement each other well and this is how the story unfolds. It all started in a town market, with its colourful and fragrant stalls. That day, Arnold Weislo was accompanying his friend, a great cook. "When I saw him choose the vegetables while I was buying pasta, it bugged me slightly. And I wanted to do like him - be able to choose vegetables and most of all, be able to cook them afterwards. Arnold and his friend imagined writing a cookery book for singles. The project did not materialise but the idea stayed on Arnold's mind. Sitting beside him, Annabelle Delaval smiles: "I left them raving on the idea. I did not want to get involved". In the end, she plunged into it with delight!

#ANTIFA ALERT: #BREXIT #SWEATSHOP @slatukip @EXPOSINGBF @dubdanu @JLRFB #ukip
ANTIFA ALERTZ | 12.06.2016 15:01 | Anti-racism | Indymedia | Repression | Birmingham | South Coast
Once more, repeating the pattern of the entire Murdoch reign, the British people have been hoodwinked into supporting Conservative Party oppression by a deceitful and manipulative media hell-bent upon persuading turkeys to vote for Christmas. Brainwashed by racism and xenophobia drip-fed over decades by Britain's shameful rightwing press, gut-reaction racism has swung the #EU vote in favour of #Brexit, the moment when the ghost of deadly Thatcherism is reincarnated into a hybrid of a police state and a sweatshop / workhouse. Instead of immigrants doing the low-paid jobs, once immigration is curtailed, and EU workers are switched to visas and repatriated, it will be the misled British worker crushed into the ground by global capitalism, using the UK as a source of cheap labour once all workers rights have been repealed "to make Britain competitive again".
Boris Johnson will be the first to profess how American companies are lining up to offer employment opportunities to British workers to make up for jobs lost as European employers move out of the UK to remain competitive. Last month, it was reported by Oxfam that some workers in the US poultry industry were forced to wear adult diapers as they were denied toilet breaks. Spending the whole day with ones crotch, groin and backside coated in diarrhoea is not just smelly and demeaning, turning workers into the human equivalents of battery hens, swamped with their own faeces. When faecal bacteria such as e-coli enter the bladder and vagina, this will result in extremely serious infections, sexual dysfunction, and even birth defects. Let alone the embarrassment of an unpleasant aroma following low-paid workers on the way home.

Other stories from the states report catheterisation, particularly males, to replace visits to the gents' room, which can result in regular UTIs, which if untreated may result in sepsis, kidney failure and even death. Such is the worry of losing ones' job on even a minimal wage, many workers are willing not just to risk their health and their lives to put bread on the table for their families.
#Brexit will result in British workers denied toilet beaks resorting to such drastic measures, but also much, much worse exploitation. Once European health and safety laws are shed, Victorian factory practices such as working on machines without guards, will return to the workplace. Speaking on the Daily Politics show, #Brexiteer Ian Duncan Smith refused to give any guarantee that the Working Time Directive was safe after Brexit speaking on the BBC's Daily Politics show, which is as good as saying, this measure will cease in effect after Britain goes it alone.
A hardline Thatcherite Britain freed from the leash of human rights restraint, is a devil dog ready to go straight for the bollocks, ready and waiting to sink its teeth into all the misguided voters hold dear. The Sun had you scared that bananas would be banned, and you believed it. The Daily Mail scared you into believing crime would rise inexorably if we stayed in Europe, and dumb as you can be, you believed it. Last but not least, Hitler's Own - Daily Express, gave you nightmares that white Aryans would become extinct if you didn't vote out, and so you posted your X in the box - KKK-style.
All those complete numpties who regularly posted absolute rubbish about Europe being "like the Nazis", will be quiet as a mouse when you, your family and your children are persecuted for being poor. Your misplaced patriotism won't save you from poverty, illness, injury and starvation, come the day when your friendly, trustworthy #Brexiteers go the Full Niemoller. You failed to listen to the trade unionists when it mattered, because Union-destroyer Rupert Murdoch brainwashed you into being anti-trade union, and when you are the one suffering, no-one will come to save you.
Human rights vanishing, health and safety laws dismantled, the minimum wage cancelled, zero hours contracts for the vast majority of workers, the NHS deliberately run down to encourage private medicine and health insurance policies to become the norm (Obamacare in reverse), you stupid idiots cannot claim you were not warned not to trust Boris, IDS and Nigel Farage.
Hargreaves-Lansdown boss Peter Hargreaves is a major financial backer of #Brexit and recently spoke to the media, calling for maternity leave to be scrapped. And still women stupidly vote for #Brexit.
Anybody who thinks they will be free to protest against the @brexit Thatcherite oppression, will find themselves unable to do do, as life under a real police state (not a fictional EU one) kicks in, not that left-wingers / humanitarians will have even a couple of seconds to listen to your cries of help, battling constantly against encouraged xenophobia, Islamophobia, anti-black racism, anti-Semitism, neo-Nazism, UKIP-style homophobia, and 24/7 hate. Puppies aren't just for Christmas, and UKIP are not solely a party of #Brexit. Even though leaving Europe is a victory of sorts for Herr Farage, Farage, his party, and millionaire funder and porn baron Richard Desmond won't stop until there are race riots throughout the UK. Despite being from a Jewish background himself, Desmond does not think twice about using the Daily Express to encourage vulnerable young white people to become full-blown, National Action-style neo-Nazis, like those campaigning on the streets of Leeds for Vote Leave.
Take LEAVE of your senses, and destroy your future and that of your family and loved ones.
