IRCAM (French: Ircam, , English: Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music) is a French institute dedicated to the research of music and sound, especially in the fields of avant garde and electro-acoustical art music. It is situated next to, and is organisationally linked with, the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The extension of the building was designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. Much of the institute is located underground, beneath the fountain to the east of the buildings.

A centre for musical research

Several concepts for electronic music and audio processing have emerged at IRCAM. John Chowning pioneered work on FM synthesis at IRCAM, and Miller Puckette originally wrote Max at IRCAM in the mid-1980s, which would become the real-time audio processing graphical programming environment Max/MSP. Max/MSP has subsequently become a widely used tool in electroacoustic music. Many of the techniques associated with spectralism, such as analyses based on fast Fourier transforms, were made practical by technological contributions at IRCAM. For instance, researchers at IRCAM have developed a special microphone capable of isolating each of the cello's four strings for separate amplification or electronic treatment. Along with tools for sound synthesis and analysis, IRCAM has played an instrumental role in developing programs for visualization of musical form with the creation of OpenMusic, a Lisp-based visual programming language.

IRCAM provides classes to train composers in music technology. Composers who do not have programming experience to create the technology end of a piece for ensemble and electronics are provided with an assistant who helps them to realise technically intensive parts of the piece. The assistant will follow the conceptual advice of a composer with no technology experience to realize a computer part, or will help a composer who can program in Max/MSP to make their "patch" more efficient and elegant. Tristan Murail's Désintégrations is an example of a piece realized in this program by a composer with significant technological skill, whereas Harrison Birtwistle's The Mask of Orpheus required an active and creative role for the technology assistants, such as Barry Anderson and Ian Dearden.

A cultural centre for musical modernism

Apart from electroacoustic programmes, IRCAM has programmes in contemporary classical music. It has disseminated music of post World War II modernist musicians such as that of Luciano Berio or Pierre Boulez, as well as younger performers and composers. Musical spectralism such as that of Tristan Murail, has also received support from IRCAM. Murail taught at IRCAM for a time. Kaija Saariaho, whose work has been influenced by spectralism, has also been supported by IRCAM.

IRCAM has also helped to develop various performance models. A resident ensemble of IRCAM, Ensemble InterContemporain, specialised in contemporary classical music, where each performer could be called upon to perform solo literature or ensemble literature. The Ensemble InterContemporain has been a model for many large ensembles in Europe, for example the Ensemble Modern and Klangforum Wien. Many classical contemporary pieces have been written for the chamber orchestra section of Ensemble InterContemporain.

There are regular concerts at IRCAM.

History
In 1970 President Georges Pompidou asked Pierre Boulez to found an institution for research in music. In 1973 the section of the building underneath  was finished, and IRCAM opened in 1977. From the outset, Boulez was in charge of the institute. The initial administrators included Luciano Berio, Vinko Globokar, Jean-Claude Risset, and Max Mathews. 1990 Ircam established the Cursus Program for young Composers, a training in Computer Music and Composition. In 1992 Boulez, who then became honorary director, was succeeded by . In 2002 the philosopher Bernard Stiegler became the new head of the institute. On 1 January 2006, Stiegler became Director of Cultural Development at the Centre Pompidou and was replaced by .

The creation of IRCAM coincided with the rise of the debates about modernism and postmodernism in culture and the arts.

Its multimedia library was established in 1996. It is one of the first music hybrid libraries to have been created with close to 1000 hours of recorded music and over 2,000 scientific articles available online, in addition to its physical collections of sheet music and books on music and related domains.

Several international conferences have been held at IRCAM:
 ICMC, the yearly International Computer Music Conference, in 1984
 ISMIR 2002, the 3rd international conference on music information retrieval, in October 2002
 NIME-06, the 6th International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression, in June 2006
 Acanthes, a yearly summer festival and series of composition workshops started in 2012

Software developed at IRCAM
Some software is being developed at IRCAM, such as OpenMusic, AudioSculpt, OMax, Spat, Modalys, Antescofo and Orchidée.

Orchidée is developed as a tool to aid in orchestral composition in which musical scores using traditional instruments are generated by imitating a target input sound. It is used in Jonathan Harvey's 2008 piece, "Speakings", a composition based on emulating speech patterns and inflections. Orchidée is capable of computing the complex combinatorial possibilities of an orchestra based on musical attributes such as dynamics and instruments, perceptual attributes such as brightness, and timbre models.

IRCAM software is distributed via a subscription-based Forum. As of 2011, IRCAM Forum has 534 members including individual artists and art institutions around the world. IRCAM Forum members gather yearly at IRCAM for workshops regarding new technologies developed at IRCAM and elsewhere.

There are also partnerships with companies such as Cycling 74 (Max/MSP) and Flux:: (IRCAM Tools) for the development of proprietary software.

Microbial rhodopsins are major contributors to the solar energy captured in the sea
Laura Gómez-Consarnau (Lead / Corresponding author), John A. Raven, Naomi M. Levine, Lynda S. Cutter, Deli Wang, Brian Seegers, Javier Arístegui, Jed A. Fuhrman, Josep M. Gasol, Sergio A. Sañudo-Wilhelmy
All known phototrophic metabolisms on Earth rely on one of three categories of energy-converting pigments: chlorophyll-a (rarely -d), bacteriochlorophyll-a (rarely -b), and retinal, which is the chromophore in rhodopsins. While the significance of chlorophylls in solar energy capture has been studied for decades, the contribution of retinal-based phototrophy to this process remains largely unexplored. We report the first vertical distributions of the three energy-converting pigments measured along a contrasting nutrient gradient through the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. The highest rhodopsin concentrations were observed above the deep chlorophyll-a maxima, and their geographical distribution tended to be inversely related to that of chlorophyll-a. We further show that proton-pumping proteorhodopsins potentially absorb as much light energy as chlorophyll-a-based phototrophy and that this energy is sufficient to sustain bacterial basal metabolism. This suggests that proteorhodopsins are a major energy-transducing mechanism to harvest solar energy in the surface ocean.

So, could this simply be natural variation?
...Study authors and outside scientists think this is temporary.
So, it could just be a response to a natural cycle.
We didn't know how big a factor ocean temperature was in glacier retreats & advances but we're sure this is only temporary relief.
I'm sorry. Have I missed something? What empirical evidence do you have to connect stock market prices (a man made phenomenon) and GAST (Ma Nature)?
Do these idiots even read the crap they spew?
That's ~100% more accurate than the warmist's models, no?
These comments may set alarmists' hair on fire, because religious-like conviction does not tolerate conflicting evidence. Unrealized forecasts should induce modesty rather than intensify certainty.
We should responsibly develop the resources we have been blessed with because we owe it to our countrymen in the here and now. Also, economic growth can finance science and adaptation, which offer the best opportunity for breakthroughs in innovative technology and environmental protection.
These issues are particularly stark for developing countries.
Canada is warming up twice as fast as the rest of the world and that warming is "effectively irreversible," a new scientific report from Environment and Climate Change Canada says….
I MEAN, IT SURE IS LUCKY WE FINDING THIS OUT FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SCIENTISTS ON THE SAME DAY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS IMPOSING CARBON TAXES ON DENIER PROVINCES.
The so-called science of claiming that a 1 degree Celsius warming is twice 0.5 degree warming is pretty embarrassing. We need to start from absolute zero at -273 C and then provide reference temperatures. So a rise from 10.5 C to 11.0 C would be a rise of .0018%.
Saying Canada warmed twice as fast as the whole planet doesn't prove anything.
Kids just won't know what snow is!
Blizzard warnings issued across central U.S. as region faces "bomb cyclone"
A storm impacting Rockies and Plains states has met the scientific definition of what's commonly known as a "bomb cyclone." It's the second such blast to hit the region in less than a month. Hundreds of flights have been canceled and some roads in the region are becoming impassable or accidents have already occurred.
The National Weather Service said up to 2.5 feet of snow could fall in parts of eastern South Dakota and southwestern Minnesota.
Two and a half feet of Globull Warming, in April!!!
Ran across this Facebook post by a guy who helped install monitoring stations in Inuvik and Yellowknife. A good read.
The air quality monitoring stations that were installed after 2000 are a point of faulty data collection. The person who installed them (i helped them find locations for the ones in Inuvik and Yellowknife) were placed in locations to to get 'hits' ... when I asked the person in charge why he wanted them in locations where it would obvious give high readings he told me they want 'hits' so they can get more funding.
I thought that was bad science so I would only approve a site that was average air quality for the town of Inuvik by a soccer pitch and no buildings or traffic near it... since they are going to use that single point to represent the surrounding 500 km I felt that was best... the person complained to the SAO and Mayor ... but I held firm on my assertion that the location away from direct sources of pollution was a better location to collect a representative sample. Since I moved away they moved the air quality station next to the boiler end on one of the larger buildings in Inuvik (Midnight Sun Rec Center) obviously to get 'hits' ... the air quality monitoring station in Yellowknife (see pictures) is next to one of the larger sewage lift stations (think pig barn) in the city... I would get calls a couple times a year from environment Canada asking about a high numbers...LOL! so the data from any of these sources are suspect... not because I don't believe data... quite the opposite ... I collect and analyze data professionally... there are serious problems when the data is collected to get 'hits'... the report 'leaked' by CBC has been fixed with 20 years of manipulated data... we are being miss-lead.
If this is happening on Canadas Arctic... where else has the data collected been placed so the monitoring system will get 'hits'?

A statement said: "Whilst the majority of stores in our portfolio are delivering satisfactory returns on capital, certain stores are loss making and achieving low returns.
"As a result, we are considering closing 15 stores across the business over the next two years.
"These stores are a combination of owned and leased properties and the estimated cash costs of exit are expected to be covered by sale proceeds from the owned stores.
"Focusing on markets where we are, or can be, leading: At Q3 we announced the strategic decision to exit Russia and Iberia to focus on markets where we have, or can reach, a market leading position.
"Those exit processes are ongoing.
"Further, we have taken the decision to close all 19 of our Screwfix Germany outlets, while retaining an online presence. These outlets are expected to close in FY 19/20."
The announcement comes as Kingfisher reported a 52.8 per cent plunge in pre-tax profits to £322 million for the year to January 31.
Kingfisher has nearly 24,600 staff in the UK and Ireland and more than 61,500 overall.

History Of Geelong Australia
For 25,000 years the area has been occupied by the Wathaurong people, the Traditional Custodians of the lands that span the coastline from the Werribee River to Lorne and inland toward Ballarat.
The Wathaurong people are a recognised tribe that forms part of the Kulin Nation of Aboriginal people. Prior to European settlement, there were 25 individual clans each with a clan headman who was called an Arweet.
Geelong was proclaimed a town in 1838 and land sales commenced a year later. In 1840 the Geelong Advertiser established a weekly paper, and it's now the states oldest morning newspaper.
The city's first industries were made up of flour mills, lime kilns, soap works, tanneries, and ropeworks. The first wool mills opened in 1868 and wool became the town's major trade.
Industry boomed in the 20th century in Geelong, which saw the opening of Ford's first Australian motor-car plant, International Harvestor begin manufacturing agricultural equipment, the establishment of Pilkington glass factory, Shell build an oil refinery, and Alcoa open an aluminium smelter.
Now, in the 21 st century most of these companies have either closed or moved on. Many of the industrial buildings have been repurposed as hip bars, cool cafes, and trendy accommodation.

From Warriors to Pilgrims: Narragansett's Neve Demarest, Tyler Dill to pursue academics, athletics at New England College
By Jay GearanSports Correspondent
BALDWINVILLE — Two months from now, Neve Demarest and Tyler Dill will be Narragansett Regional High graduates. But come next fall they will be classmates again — at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire.
Both outstanding athletes for the Warriors and friends since middle school, they were highly recruited—Demarest for field hockey and Dill for basketball — and are excited about taking the next step in both their academic and athletic careers.
"We're going from Warriors to Pilgrims," said Demarest, 17, referring to New England College's mascot. The NCAA Div. 3 Pilgrims compete in the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC).
Dill, a sharpshooting captain for the Warriors, who advanced all the way to the Western Mass. Div. 3 finals, averaged 21 points per game. The son of Scott and Heidi Dill of Baldwinville, he plans on studying sports management. At Narragansett he has earned a 3.3 grade point average and is a member of the National Honor Society.
"New England was one of the first college campuses I toured, and I knew immediately that I would feel comfortable there," said the 17-year-old Dill, a Mid-Wach League All-Star for three years, a member of the Central Mass. Select Senior team and the Warriors' Most Outstanding Player in the 2018-19 season.
New England College men's basketball coach Charlie Mason watched Dill at several games throughout the winter season.
"I wanted to go somewhere where I think I can play right away, and I received that feeling from Coach Mason," Dill said.
"Tyler is dedicated, hard-working and coachable," said Narragansett boys' basketball coach Rich Zalneraitis. "Over the years I've had the pleasure of watching Tyler develop into a top-notch high school basketball player with a complete game. He worked tirelessly on his individual game to make us a better team. Physically, he is still coming into his own, and I think New England College has a real diamond in the rough whose best basketball is ahead of him."
Dill listed his team's triumph at the prestigious Clark Tournament this winter as his best experience among many great ones he has had as a Narragansett athlete.
The daughter of Mark and Amber Demarest of Templeton, Neve, who also played varsity basketball for the Warriors, was scouted closely by New England College field hockey coach and former Gardner High star, Carly Sweeney.
"I've visited the campus five times starting the summer before my senior year," said Demarest, who plans on majoring in elementary education. Demarest, a forward, four-year starter and three-year Mid-Wach E All Star, said Sweeney told her that she would love the New England College campus because it looks just like the center of Templeton.
Leading the team in goals and assists, Demarest helped the Warriors win back-to-back Mid-Wach E League championships with undefeated records. She also carries a 3.6 grade point average and is a member of the National Honor Society and the Rho Kappa National Social Studies Honor Society
Praising Demarest, Narragansett field hockey coach Denise Moulton said, "Neve was my only captain this year and a captain last year as well. She is very passionate about field hockey and has played since her youth years starting at the Quabbin camp. Neve is very coachable, a great role model for our team and has a lot of desire to always improve. She will be dearly missed both on the field and off as she was a huge part of our field hockey family."
"I've had a great experience here at Narragansett," said Demarest, who won the Jamie Smart Most Inspirational Player Award last fall and was co-MVP with Emma Tallman.
Added Dill about heading north to college with a friend, "It's always good to know somebody, especially going away pretty far from home."

Yes, *on* Long Island... That's our bad.
As for last night's game Jake Guentzel got his 40th goal courtesy of Sidney Crosby and his 100th point on the season. It was a huge goal because it helped undo the catastrophic shorthanded goal the Penguins had given up just earlier in the period. Losing to the Rangers on a shorthanded goal would have been on brand for the team this year though.

OT underground conveyor from thyssenkrupp
Published: Wednesday, 08 November 2017 07:39
Written by ASIA Miner News
ONE of the world's richest underground copper deposits will be accessed with the help of high-capacity gearless driven conveyors from thyssenkrupp. The Industrial Solutions business area has won a contract to supply a material handling system for the new Oyu Tolgoi (OT) underground mine in Mongolia.
The Los Pelambres downhill conveying system was developed by thyssenkrupp and transports copper ore over 12.7km.
The contract value is in the higher double-digit million euro range. thyssenkrupp will supply nine conveyors with a combined length of 9.5km as well as seven transfer towers operating at an hourly design tonnage of 7100 tons.
First production from underground is expected in 2020. The OT mine complex is a joint venture between the Government of Mongolia and Turquoise Hill Resources, which is majority-owned by Rio Tinto.
From a depth of nearly 1400 metres beneath the Gobi Desert, the new underground material handling system is planned to transport 95,000 tons per day of copper ore to the surface. The main components are four high lift conveyors each equipped with 1.6 metre wide steel cord belts and dual 5500 kW gearless drives from Siemens. Further conveyors will feed the main incline conveyors and tie the new underground system into the existing process facility.
thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions' Mining Technologies business unit CEO Torsten Gerlach said, "This order again proves that thyssenkrupp is a strong player in the mining and materials handling industry. We are proud to contribute to this project with our intelligent belt conveyor technology and our strong global project execution capabilities. The system will help the OT mine set standards in terms of productivity and safety."
The mine began producing copper concentrate from an open pit operation in 2013. The future underground construction activities will transform OT into one of the most significant copper mines globally.
The order given to thyssenkrupp includes the engineering, design and supply of the new material handling system as well as required site support services during the construction and commissioning phases. It will be designed with an emphasis on ease of maintenance. This includes the ability to quickly replace chute sections as well as idler rolls and belt cleaners.
The drive components are massive and great attention will be paid to safely transporting them underground and ensuring they can be safely exchanged. Overhead bridge cranes will be strategically located to not only service the equipment, but also to aid in erection of the major structures.

Chasing your dreams often means taking big risks.
Sometimes they end in failure, but other times, they help us progress in ways we never thought possible. Claire Howell knew she could face either outcome when she appeared on "The Voice: Australia" in 2016, but the 18-year-old took the risk anyway when she performed one of the judge's songs for her blind audition.
The makeup artist and aspiring singer from the Gold Coast is a huge Jessie J fan, so she went with the British superstar's hit, "Who You Are." She had no idea whether her idol would love or hate her rendition, but she had to take the chance… and she was glad she did. Within seconds of recognizing her own song, Jessie J hit her red buzzer. She was the first one to turn her chair!
She wasn't the only judge impressed by Claire's beautiful sound and vocal runs, though. Ronan Keating, Benji and Joel Madden, and Delta Goodrem all followed suit shortly after, turning their own chairs.
And each of them gave her a standing ovation at the end.
Delta, Ronan, and the Madden brothers knew it was a foregone conclusion that Claire would choose Jessie J as her coach — which, for the record, she did. But they didn't expect the singer to join Claire for an impromptu duet. The two sang the same song together, complementing each other's voices beautifully.
If Jessie J wasn't sure about Claire before, she certainly was after performing alongside the talented teen.
While Claire ultimately didn't win the competition, she did compete in the following season and made it to the top three on Delta's team. This was really only the beginning for the gifted singer, who's sure to accomplish her dreams as long as she keeps it up.
Watch as Claire captivates the judges with her Jessie J cover in the video below, and don't forget to share.


Hard money lenders come handy when borrowing money from regular financial institutions becomes impossible. This type of borrowing offers convenience. Such type of borrowing can be risky, especially when working with an untrustworthy lender. To avoid falling prey to fraudulent lenders, it is important not to work with the lender that you come across first. Researching well before making a move is important. How do you choose such a provider?
It is essential to factor in credibility and experience when choosing a lender. You need a lender that would not defraud you. Make certain that they are licensed to offer hard loans. They should also be licensed to operate in your state. Experience is important because it means convenience. Consider how long the providers have been in the industry. It is also important to check what past clients say about them.
You should not overlook the financial strength of the firm. This is important, especially if you need a large amount of money. A reliable private money lender california would be willing to discuss their financial capability with you. It is important to factor in loan processing time. It could be that they can provide any amount of money you need. However, you should not choose them if processing the same would take too long. Make sure that they do not give you promises simply to sign you up.
Take note of their interest rates. The excitement of being approved for a loan should not cloud your judgment as far as interest rates are concerned. You should work only with a provider that would lend you the amount of money you need at an acceptable interest rate. It is important to inquire whether their interest rates are fixed. This is because some lenders offer variable interest rates. While any type of interest rate can be favorable to you, variable ones are likely to go up in case of unfavorable market conditions. It pays to compare rates across different lenders before committing.
You should ask about repayment. You need to be sure that their plan would be ideal for you. It is important to know that such hard money loans california are short-term. This means that assuming that you would have all the time in the world to repay the loan would be a bad decision. It is integral to consider flexibility, as well. Get to know what would happen in case of late or missed repayments. Ensure that the provider would not impose a hefty penalty for such an instance.
It is integral to factor in documentation. Do not assume that the same is not necessary if the firm has glowing reviews from past clients. The contract should also highlight the conditions. Reading the document carefully is important to avoid falling prey to fraudulent lenders.


So David, Eian and I we were driving to church today. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the morning. David had the Sunday morning radio program on we usually listen to and I, as always, was running behind and so therefore putting my makeup on in the van. Don't worry, David was driving!
Halfway through our route I heard a faint murmur coming from the backseat. I turned around to see my son with his Bible open, his hands folded and laying in the Bible, his head was bowed, and I could see his little lips moving. I gently nudged David for him to peak in the rear view mirror. It was the sweetest sight that my eyes instantly welled up with tears of joy. Neither David or I made a big fuss or drilled him about what he was praying for.
It wasn't until this evening when Eian and I were alone that he told me what he prayed for. He admitted that he had been questioning his salvation for awhile and wondered if he really knew what he was praying for back when he was four and claimed to have been saved. The intent and sincere look on his face told me this was a big deal to him, which just touched my heart even more. So he was asking the Lord for forgiveness again and re-committing himself to live for the Lord, just in case he didn't really mean it when he was four. Too sweet!
It provided a wonderful opportunity for to discuss ways in which we can demonstrate our love and devotion to Christ in gratitude for dieing on the cross. We both shared practical ways in which we can live for the Lord every day. It was one of the most precious conversations I believe I've ever had with my son. God's so smart too because while I'm training my child in the way he should go (Eph 6:4) the Lord's teaching me as well!
He did the same thing I did as a teen. Just sort of rededicated or reaffirmed my decision to follow Him!
Great to see you blogging again! I've been following you to see what you're up to, so good to see you back!

The New York Times has written a profile highlighting our publisher, Victoria Schneps, and the work that she has done since The Queens Courier got its start in 1985.
The article looks at her publishing career, from gaining inspiration after protesting the Willowbrook State School to now, where Schneps Communications publishes 20 print newspapers and 10 digital publications.

Our property has 3.3 acres of land and our church building has over 15,000 square footage of floor space. You will find that our auditorium to be very comfortable and enjoyable.
We have plenty of off-road parking in front of and behind the church (follow signs). Although we are in an older residential section of Ocala, our neighborhood still needs Jesus and we care about them, just as Jesus does. There are people all around our church and they need the Gospel.


Everyone feels stress from time to time. You might feel anxious when you arrive late to an important work meeting. You may feel bothered when your roommate asks for money when he or she hasn't paid rent yet. Or you could feel agitated when your parents expect you to host the next family reunion.
While some stress keeps you on your toes and ready to tackle problems, chronic stress can lead to exhaustion, muscle tension, and high blood pressure. Furthermore, stress can have a negative impact on your oral health, putting you at risk for the following problems.
When you feel impatient, frustrated, or angry, you may grind your teeth or clench your jaw to keep from lashing out at someone. This habit may help you avoid saying something you regret, but you may regret the impact it has on your teeth.
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, puts a lot of unnecessary force on your teeth. Over time, your teeth may fracture, loosen, or fall out under the pressure and strain. Bruxism also wears away at your teeth, leaving you with shorter, smaller, and more sensitive teeth.
During the day, you'll want to practice different techniques to break the habit. For example, you may try to relax your jaw by keeping your lips together and letting your teeth rest slightly apart. Or you could try visual cues such as a sticker on your phone or a string around your finger to remind yourself to take a deep breath and relax.
At night, you'll want to wear a mouth guard to cushion your teeth and absorb the impact. Schedule an appointment with your dentist to create a custom-fitted mouth guard.
Stress triggers the production of cortisol, a stress hormone that suppresses the body's inflammation response. In chronic stress situations, your body quickly adapts and develops a resistance to cortisol and doesn't respond to the hormone as it should. Soon, your body ramps up its production of chemicals that promote inflammation, and your immune system takes a hit.
With inflammation on the rise and your immune system compromised, your oral health may quickly decline. Your mouth will have a much harder time fighting the bacteria, and your gums may swell because of the inflammatory response. If left unchecked, the condition may lead to periodontal disease and symptoms such as bleeding gums, tooth sensitivity, receding gums, and loose teeth.
When you learn proper coping responses and stress management techniques, you can keep your stress under control and give your immune system a boost. Deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation can keep you calm and give your mind a chance to think clearly.
In addition to managing stress, you can manage your oral health through regular brushing and flossing. Rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash can also kill germs that would otherwise attack your gums and teeth and lead to periodontal disease.
Although experts remain baffled by the true cause behind canker sores, many theorize that these small ulcers result from stress. As stress decreases the immune system and increases the likelihood of clenching the teeth (bruxism) and biting the cheeks, you may see these sores pop up more often during and after intense situations.
Fortunately, canker sores are not contagious. However, they can be quite painful and can make chewing and speaking more difficult.
If you find that canker sores tend to occur more often when you feel stressed, give yourself a break and step away from your problems for an hour or two every day. Don't be afraid to say no to things that would add stress to your life, and use your extra time to pursue your own hobbies and interests.
To alleviate canker sore pain, rinse your mouth with salt water for 30 seconds. The sodium chloride will create an alkaline environment in which bacteria will struggle to survive.
While the above tips can help you minimize the damage stress can do to your oral health, don't forget that stress can cause a variety of other problems as well. If you regularly suffer from stress, schedule an appointment with your doctor as well as Dr. Patty Martin here at Stone Creek Dental Care. Our medical professionals can help you get back on the right track and suggest the best techniques for managing your health. Call us today at 509-525-5902.
