Hospitals' daily operations heavily rely on processes that align patient streams with hospital resources (infrastructure, medical supplies, staff) and related information flows. But a hospital is a complex environment in which operations prove to be a great optimization target. One particular area for improvement includes hospitals' supporting processes, which are meant to ensure that the right (and sufficient) resources end up timely at the right location.
Within this context, HIPS designed a methodology to effectively scope, list, model and evaluate supporting workflows. As a second step, that knowledge was used to design an innovative 'to-be' process supported by an open, scalable and standards-based platform that combines workflows with RFID technologies, and translating in supply chain savings of up to 30%.
"HIPS brought together a complementary group of industry partners who saw an important opportunity in offering operational optimization solutions for hospitals," says Jan Van Ooteghem, HIPS' scientific research lead.
H.Essers specializes in supply chain management; Amaron focuses on workflow automation and IT integration in healthcare; and Aucxis provides automation and IT integration solutions based on track-and-trace radio- frequency identification (RFID) technology.
"We took hip replacement surgery as a use case, since the underlying (medical) procedures have been standardized. That provided us with a head start to get a better grip on all related pre- and post-surgical processes. After all, that was a prerequisite in order to find correlations between those processes and introduce the methodologies and technologies to optimize supporting workflows – in line with a hospital's KPIs and in function of its patients," Ben Devis, HIPS' project lead, adds.
The HIPS project was nominated for the Health&Care Awards.
The HIPS project won the Agoria eHealth Award for 'best ICT project that improves quality systems and optimizes processes'.
UZ Gent granted a consultancy commission to the HIPS project for Tracing of Blood Product Administration.
HIPS (Innovation through optimized and integrated Patient and Supply Flows in Hospitals) is an imec.icon research project.
It ran from 01.03.2014 until 29.02.2016.


Ndume Olatushani is an artist, organizer, and a passionate advocate for justice who works with the Children's Defense Fund's Nashville organizing team. He helps us fight to keep children and people of color, especially Black boys, out of the Cradle to Prison Pipeline™ and mass incarceration system which will trap 1 in 3 Black boys born in 2001 sometime during their lifetime. He also combats zero tolerance school discipline policies that push Black children, especially Black boys, out of school and criminalize children of color. I met Ndume soon after he was freed as an inmate wrongly convicted of murder who served almost 28 years in prison, 20 on death row, before his release June 1, 2012. He's a gentle, forgiving man. Long before that, Ndume was a small Black boy trying—and failing—to survive the violence, poverty, and low expectations that surrounded him.
"My name is Ndume Olatushani. I was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. I currently reside in the Nashville, Tennessee area. I spent my early years in the notorious Pruitt- Igoe Projects where the best and worst of human behavior were always on display. Because the Pruitt-Igoe Projects had become so lawless they were the first to be torn down by the federal government in the 1970's.
"At a young age I was exposed to all kind of things that no child should ever be exposed to. At the age of five I witnessed my first murder, which was of a young black man. At the time, I did not realize how this tragic event would help shape me but, like any child exposed to violence over a sustained period of time, I gradually became desensitized to violence. In some ways I became the people who stood around at the site of the playground murder, laughing and joking, as the young man took his last breaths.
"Though I officially dropped out of school in the eleventh grade, I had checked out of school mentally years earlier. In the newly integrated schools I attended, I experienced hostility from my white peers and discouragement from my teachers. My fourth grade teacher who was white asked my class what we wanted to be when we grew up. When I told her I wanted to be a veterinarian, her response was that I should instead aspire to do something with my hands, like construction.
"Years later, when I was sitting in a prison cell assessing my life, I understood the significance of her statement. As a child I did not understand the effect her statement had on me psychologically, and I did not understand the pathology of racism. Of course I do not lay the misguided decisions I made on her doorstep, but she was a part of the thread that weaved the quilt of my life. It was her and so many small but significant events that I was exposed to as a child that contributed to the trajectory of my life's decisions.
"As a young man, I began making some bad decisions that landed me in jail and prison on a range of felony charges. I have seen the inside of jails and prisons in four states. While I was making the decisions that landed me in all those jail and prison cells, I had no idea that the criminal record I was developing would lead to me being falsely accused and wrongly convicted of a robbery murder. I was 26 years old when, in 1985, I was wrongly convicted and sentenced to death for a murder that took place in Memphis, Tennessee, a state I had never even stepped foot in before standing trial there.
"I was red-lined for failure, although I do not absolve myself from the decisions that I made that helped make it possible. But those decisions were not without some guidance and direction from a system [whose] only use for some people is for them to be sitting in a jail or prison cell. We have to ensure that we are fully aware of this system and we have to continue to work hard at disrupting and dismantling this system to save our children.
Ndume taught himself to become a fine artist in prison and has not a bitter or mean bone in his body. He works tirelessly today with poor children, especially boys of color living in Nashville housing projects, encouraging alternatives to the street through art.
Ndume's art along with his mentees' creations grace our offices in Washington, D.C. and Tennessee to remind us of the gifts children have if we enable them to come forth and blossom and not discourage them. Every parent and educator ought to be very mindful about the power their words and attitudes convey to the children we raise and teach. They will live up or down to our expectations. Let's make sure we lift them all up and give them something to strive toward.

WAILUKU, Maui — Close your eyes.
Hawai'i players Nate Jackson, Robert Grant and Craig Stutzmann listen intently as Aina head coach Bob Stoops goes over a few players.
Of our eight guests, three paid their way through the first two years of college, one did not start for his college team and another did not start in high school, one dropped out of a military academy, and two received only one college offer apiece.
OK, time's up. The answer is: Hula Bowl Maui football players from the University of Hawai'i.
"It's kind of overwhelming to be here," defensive end Joe Correia said. "It's kind of intimidating, actually. But I'm here, and I'm very happy."
If asked, four years ago, how many UH players would compete in the 2002 Hula Bowl, "I don't think you would have guessed more than one," receiver Craig Stutzmann said. "It just goes to show you the importance of hard work and great coaching."
There are eight versions of the Cinderella story.
Correia, a quarterback at St. Louis School, retired from professional baseball after suffering a shoulder injury. He enrolled at UH as a walk-on in 1998 and, despite several injuries, developed into a quality defensive end.
• Tickets: $30 and $25. Available to charge by phone (808) 871-4141 or at Maui Mall.
In high school in California, Robert Grant was a backup running back, a position he played until moving to safety last spring. Grant was an honor student in an accelerated course on defense, and last season emerged as one of the Warriors' top playmakers. He will play linebacker in the Hula Bowl.
Nate Jackson, who weighed 155 pounds as a freshman, and Jacob Espiau, who suffered a serious leg injury as a sophomore, entered UH as non-scholarship players. Both safeties have been named to Western Athletic Conference all-star teams.
Mike Iosua, who transferred from a military academy four years ago, overcame shoulder and knee injuries this season and was named the Warriors' most inspirational player. Stutzmann, who received only one college offer as a St. Louis School senior, and offensive guard Manly Kanoa III, who used to resemble the "before" picture in a SlimFast ad, became team leaders.
Nick Rolovich, who replaced injured quarterback Tim Chang, was 8-1 as a starter. Discount the game in which he was used for one play, Rolovich would have led the nation in total offense in 2001.
To be in the Hula Bowl, Rolovich said, "it's pretty unreal. I've been lucky."
This week, the eight former Warriors have blended easily with Hula Bowl teammates and coaches during drills and community activities. Rolovich asked for pointers from Steve Spurrier, the incoming Washington Redskins head coach.
"It's a good experience to be here," Iosua said. "Since we didn't qualify for a bowl game, this is a chance to play one more game with some of my teammates."
Kanoa played in the East-West Shrine game two weeks ago, but said the Hula Bowl is more meaningful. "I was all by myself at the East-West game," he said. "To come out here, with seven guys from my team and other guys from Hawai'i, is pretty unbelievable."
Said Grant: "We're just having fun, kicking back. You see a lot of people you've seen over the years on TV. To see them in person is a different experience."
Of the UH players in the Hula Bowl, it is widely believed that Rolovich, who has drawn praise from Spurrier, and Kanoa have the best chances for pro careers. The others might earn invitations to NFL free-agent camps.
Jackson said he will return to the UH baseball team next year if a pro opportunity does not work out. For now, he is enjoying his version of "Ferris Bueller's Week Off."
"I get a break from school and get to spend the whole week with nothing but football," Jackson said. "This is fun."

Covid 19 Delta outbreak: Six cases reported in Stratford, Taranaki were 'reluctant' to get tested, didn't use tracer app
Stratford Mayor Neil Volzke on Delta coming to Taranaki. Video / Newstalk ZB
NZ Herald
Six positive Covid cases in Stratford were very reluctant to get tested and have not been using the tracer app.
Taranaki DHB medical officer of health Dr Jonathan Jarman told RNZ the group of three adults and three children have kept to themselves, but there may be one or two locations of interest in the area, which will be released later this morning.
He says the children have not been to school or pre-school during their infectious period.
"The key message is - if you have symptoms, get a test. The virus is here. Get vaccinated if you are not already vaccinated."
The new cases found in Taranaki are the first of the deadly Delta strain in the region that has kept parts of the country locked down since August 17.
Stratford District Mayor Neil Volzke confirmed all six cases were in Stratford.
These cases come after a number of recent wastewater tests in Stratford tested positive for Covid-19.
He said the people involved were all from one family group and had been isolating. They caught the virus from a person who was connected to the Auckland Covid outbreak.
There had been limited, if any, outside connection as the family had largely been staying at home, Volzke said.
Volzke told Newstalk ZB he believes the news would bring a lot of angst in the community.

But this did not come as a shock given there had been traces of the virus had been found in wastewater samples recently, he said.
Volzke said more pop-up testing clinics would be set up over the weekend as a result, but acknowledged that testing rates had gone up slightly before this.
On vaccination rates in the area, which remains somewhat low, he said the new cases would certainly move people to get the jab.
"There's certainly some hesitancy, but I think as well as that, there is a degree of complacency.
"This will certainly prompt some people in getting vaxxed and those that are unwell, of course, we want to get tested."
Asked whether he expects any change of boundaries in the area, he said he had not yet been given any indication that would happen.
However, he said he is due in a meeting at 8am and that more information would be known after that.
Relief source of wastewater tests found - mayor
Speaking to TVNZ's Breakfast, Volzke said there was somewhat relief as well, given the source of the positive wastewater samples had now been identified.
No locations of interest associated with the group have been released at this stage. If any would be identified, the mayor said if the family had been at home, there could be very few if any at all.
"I don't think anyone would've expected to find six in one go - that will be a surprise to people.
"But the message is stay calm, do what you need to do around social distancing, wearing your masks, those kinds of things. And if you're feeling unwell, go and get tested."
And go and get vaccinated, he said.
Taranaki DHB's Public Health Unit confirmed on Wednesday that two or three further wastewater results taken in Stratford came back positive.
The Ministry of Health says all six cases are clearly linked and there is a clear link to the current Auckland outbreak.
One person has been hospitalised at Taranaki Base Hospital last night.
The other five affected people are currently isolating at home.
"I was informed tonight that Covid test results today showed six positive results. All six cases are in the Stratford area," Volzke said yesterday.
"I am pleased we have been able to identify the source of Covid in our wastewater and the health authorities are now working with the infected people."
Volzke says it was important people continue to be vigilant.
"The most important thing now is containment, and I strongly encourage anyone with flu-like symptoms or feeling unwell to get tested as soon as possible."
The district health board is encouraging anyone in Stratford, or any recent visitors to the town with Covid-related symptoms, no matter how mild, to get tested.
Testing stations will be set up at the Stratford pop-up clinic at the War Memorial carpark and the Taranaki Base Hospital.

Time to sync Gmail to Droid?
Discussion in 'Android General Discussions' started by leahsfarm, Nov 11, 2009.
All of a sudden the lag time for syncing gmail to droid is FOR-EV-ER.
I was having a problem with Gmail push not working about 10% of the time. Someone on here recommended not using an app killer program because it could be killing a program that's used to push email. I uninstalled app killer and reset the phone.....no problems anymore, works flawlessly.
What do you mean by reset? Taking the battery out or doing the factory reset in the settings? (though those could do the same thing - I don't know).
Does resetting the phone eliminate all the changes i've made to customize my ringtones, vibrate, notifications, etc.?
I just meant turning the power off then on.
I've been having Gmail push issues as well. I haven't found a way to consistently ensure gmail pushes quickly. I do have advanced task killer installed, but I have both my gmail and email programs on the ignore list. Not quite sure why it won't push quickly.
i uninstalled it as i use a different app for monitoring/killing tasks. i'm having issues with contact updates/additions being pushed to GMail, so we'll see if that fixes it.

Australian Greens senator Bob Brown marks 10 years in Parliament
As the Australian Prime Minister John Howard celebrated his ten-year reign this week, Greens Leader Bob Brown marked the 10th anniversary of his election into the Federal parliament.
Senator Brown has outlasted 10 other party leaders: Meg Lees, Cheryl Kernot, Natasha Stott-Despoja, Brian Greig, Andrew Bartlett, all former Democrat leaders. Pauline Hanson, Len Harris of the One Nation party, plus the Australian Labor Party's Kim Beazley, Simon Crean and Mark Latham have all been and gone during that time.
Only Prime Minister John Howard and Senator Bob Brown are left standing as leaders in the Australian Federal Parliament. Bob Brown was elected to the Senate in 1996, and re-elected in 2001. He has introduced bills for constitutional reform, forest protection, to block radioactive waste dumping, to ban mandatory sentencing, and greenhouse abatement.
Senator Brown says his party has hardly been in the balance of power at any stage, yet the Australian Greens have risen in popularity. "We've become the third major political party in the country and we're on our way to becoming a real power broker in this country and ultimately, the aim has to be becoming part of the Government of the country," he told ABC Radio.
While there's perpetual media speculation over John Howard's possible retirement, Senator Brown says he's full of beans and ready for the next 10 years. "And there's no speculation about me standing at next year's election. I can't wait," Senator Brown said. "Our election aim will be to rescue the Senate from the Howard government, and doubling our team is not beyond reality."
The Tasmanian Greens senator predicts his party could govern the country one day. "We're on our way to becoming a real powerbroker in this country and ultimately the aim has to be becoming part of the government of the country," he said.
The Greens started with Brown's entry into the Senate after the 1996 election, doubled to two senators in 2001, and has four had senators represented since 2004.
The four Greens senators and their staff say they will celebrate with a chocolate cake – and 10 green candles. The government held a gala fundraising dinner in the Great Hall of Parliament on Wednesday night to celebrate Mr Howard's milestone.
Senator Brown said the success of Prime Minister John Howard is in his ability to play on fears. "(Howard)... is able to "dig a little bit below surface to play on fears that people have. He has presided over a country where the rich have got richer much faster than the poor have seen their conditions improve," he said. "And it is a country that says if you are down on your luck, bad luck. The good Samaritan aspect which is very strong in this country, doesn't reside with this government."
Of the Federal Labor Party the Greens leader said they should move back to humanitarian politics He said Labor was trying to swing to the right but had lost its way. "I think the Opposition has lost its way and I think it is going to get worse," Senator Brown said. "The indications are that the Opposition thinks if it moves to the right it will do better," said Senator Brown.
Bob Brown is among 20 environmentalists, organisations and concerned citizens who were issued a 216 page writ by the Tasmanian-based timber company Gunns Limited in December 2004. The woodchipping giant is sueing for a combined AU$6.3 million for actions it claims has damaged their business and reputation. The defendants say the case is 'industrial' style litigation, alleging conspiracy, interference with trade and business and defamation. Nine different campaigns are cited.

If a document is authenticated with an Apostille, it will be recognized and will not need further certification as long as the foreign country requesting the document has joined the Hague Convention. Since October 15, 1981, the United States has been part of the Convention.
Depending on the country and the circumstance, the documents may not be accepted by the foreign government officials unless they have been authenticated by the Texas Secretary of State's Office.


WHITEFIELD — After more than 25 years at the Weathervane Theatre, Managing Director Lyn Osborne Winter will be retiring from the popular Whitefield theatre in May.
"Retirement," as she points out, is from being at the helm and as a key representative of the Weathervane – but won't impact her active roles with the NH Theatre Awards and colleagues statewide in the professional theatre community.
Winter has been Managing Director since the 2008 retirement of Richard Portner, and prior to that had been Marketing Director and Associate since the early 1990s. The single year-round and full time employee has long been the consistent voice – along with Board members – of the popular professional summer theatre in the wider region where this summer, the Theatre will ring with a remarkable 53rd Season.
Remarkable because, as the region knows, the Weathervane has 'weathered' many a storm – including a total rebuild in 2001 after the original building could no longer be used, as well as a dramatic fire in October 2011 that required rebuilding the property.
"After the fire - and having lived through the building ten years earlier – I had said I thought I'd plan to be on vacation the next time a 10-year anniversary came around," says Winter, "so this is a departure that was always planned for, just taking place a couple years sooner while the Theatre addresses some transitions and changes."
"For more than 25 years, the cycle of putting on summer theatre has driven not only a professional schedule but a personal one as well. We even planned the timing of our wedding in 2005 around what needed to be done when," she said smiling, "and there are really many other interests that I'd really like to spend time with."
For residents of northern New Hampshire, she also continues her parallel leadership as pastor of Lisbon-Landaff's Shared Ministry; and added the pastorate of Bath Congregational Church last August. Rev. Lyn continues to be a popular officiating clergy at any number of events, and spiritual voice for several generations of families in multiple towns.
"I hesitate using the word 'retire' because I'm not slowing down in any direction – if anything, I expect to be occupied even more and contribute to any number of efforts and organizations, as well as in ministry," she said. "It's just time to move away from active responsibilities at the Weathervane, where many transitions are taking place."
Her plans include consultancy in theatre management, operations, and development; and she will work through May as overall staffing changes are addressed and much of the Season prep is underway.
Weathervane Board President David Kenney observed, "Lyn's contributions to the stability and growth of the Weathervane over the years has made a big difference, and we'll miss her energy, enthusiasm and love for all things Weathervane. For me, personally, it has been a good working relationship, and she willed be missed. A transition team is in place, and plans continue for the coming summer without interruption."
The Weathervane Theatre's 53rd consecutive summer Season will open on July 7 with their traditional "Bubble & Squeak" performance that introduces the new and returning performers and working staff. Look for their performance lineup and news of the Season at www.weathervanetheatre.org.


Using her basic knowledge of building and construction and unskilled labour, Annemarie transformed a dilapidated shack into an amazing guest house for when family and friends stay over.
Builders Warehouse in Bloemfontein supplied almost everything needed for this improvement project and Annemarie and hubby already have an extensive collection of Bosch power tools.
The project itself took just over 7 months to complete and Annemarie almost gave up a couple of times, but finally managed to finish this charming little addition. Annemarie and her husband live on a farm in the Free State and now have guest accommodation for any family and friends that want to visit to enjoy the wide open spaces and fresh air.
"We live on a farm and I am always busy renovating and repair everything as this farm has a lot of work on it." says Annemarie. Although not one hundred percent complete, Annemarie hopes to finish off the project so that she can concentrate on other areas that require improvement.
An old Singer sewing machine cabinet was used for the hand basin in the bathroom. These were all items unused and standing around in my garage and I had to make a plan either to get rid of it or use it somewhere.
On the opposite side of the bathroom the shower is powered by a solar hearing system.
The second bedroom with an antique double bed that I bought at auction.
When my sister moved home she had these old cupboards that were all scratched and dark wood. I received it for free and gave the cupboard a coat or two of light-coloured paint.
I was lucky to get the steel kitchen cabinets from my sister. I painted them in a light blue to match the colour scheme.
The table was bought from a local auction and was sanded and varnished.
Lending a touch of local charm and my mascot.

"ASTRONAUT WINGS" FOR 10,000 USD
Here has still found the article with the my project.
There were not many advanced long-term space projects exhibited at the International Aviation and Space Salon (MAKS-2001). Nonetheless, the project exhibited by a Russian company under the title of "Cruise-Service" was extraordinary due to the distinctive and bold solutions underlying the project. So we have decided to make it a starting point for a cycle of articles about advanced domestic and foreign space projects.
O. Aleksandrov specially for Astronautics News
Universal Space System (USS), the project developed by Cruise Service, is aimed at establishing space tour business in Russia with support from foreign investors. Provisions are made in the project for building universal cruise modules which will be able to dock with themselves thus allowing to be launched with the use of various launchers, for example, "Space Shuttle", "Zenit", "Soyuz". Real "space hotels" with any accommodation capacity can be built in the orbit on the basis of such modules.
The company decided to start implementing the Universal Space System project with participation in the X-Prize content (Astronautics News No. 8, 2001, p. 15) where it intends to demonstrate the capabilities of its system. With regular suborbital flights to the altitude of over 150 km under the Sea Launch Cruiser the cost of one passenger seat is expected to go down to 10,000 USD with the passenger capacity of one module reaching 150 to 200 persons!
Passenger safety is a serious consideration at all flight stages. Due to three spare parachute sets, a powerful, a powerful SAS and a triple system backup the safety of the Universal Space System can exceed that of passenger planes.
Unit A (the first stage of Energiya launch vehicle) designed for multiple use is planned to be used as the launch vehicle in suborbital cruises. The Universal Space System will be launched from the Sea Launch platform, and the company intends to combine high profile sea cruises with exotic space travel.
Just imagine a luxurious cruiser slowly mooring at the Sea Launch platform where a not less luxurious suborbital spacecraft is waiting for the lucky ones whose health and wallet allow to pay for the additional service.
But the company will go beyond suborbital cruises. The modules are originally designed as universal orbital units that can be placed into the cargo module of a shuttle. They will be equipped with a docking system with additional fuel modules and engines which will allow to fly round the Moon as early as in 2008 (a module with the passenger capacity of 35 persons for the price of 20 mln USD for each)!
And if there is nothing to hamper the implementation of suborbital flights under the Sea Launch Cruiser project, space in the shuttle cargo module will have be leased so that Universal Space System modules can be taken to the orbit. It should also be taken into account that, as a rule, the cargo capacity of shuttles is under-utilised by 10% to 60%. Accommodating Universal Space System modules as an additional cargo in flights to the International Space Station can reduce ISS logistics costs by 3 to 5 times.
According to the estimates made by specialists, the reconstruction of Energiya-Buran, the similar Russian system, will be possible, if about 10 bln USD of investment is available. Should it be possible to reconstruct the Energiya-Buran system for 2 to 3 bln USD, the project will be quite realistic without the need for using a US shuttle.
Currently Cruise Service has a specific plan for raising investment for the project. Nonetheless, the company is inviting all interested organisations and individuals to cooperate with the project.

BBC promised 1 million Micro Bit computers to school children
By Adam Kreller -
The BBC aims to build new learning computers, which is named as Micro Bit. The company has announced to give one million Micro Bit computers to 11 and 12 years old children across the United Kingdom. The BBC has focused on targeting the younger generation who is totally involved in the country's growing latest technology.
The Micro Bit hardware project will be a slice of the BBC's "Make it Digital" program. It is an initiative by the company for a new generation to grab intuitive knowledge of coding, programming and digital technology.
Meet BBC's Micro Bit, a pocket sized device
The BBC will associate with 25 companies to develop the tiny device, Micro Bit. The companies include chip-makers ARM and Nordic Semiconductor, Microsoft, Samsung and many more. This pocket sized machine prototype is up and running. BBC is hoping to inspire youngsters to join the technical industry by launching this machine. Recently, many of the devices were given to school children to explore.
Gareth Stockdale, the developer of Micro Bit, says:
"The BBC's role is to bring focus to the issue, and then we will withdraw from the market."
He also added,
"The initiative is our big education project for 2015 to get people to talk about digital creativity, to code, to build games and shape our future."
The tiny device measures 4cm by 5cm in size and contains of twenty five red LEDs and two buttons. Micro bit final version will have a Bluetooth technology, which will be linked up to devices like Raspberry Pi. Micro Bit development is still in progress, but it will be rolling out by the end of 2015 with three coding languages – Touch Develop, Python and C++. The machine will be given directly to school teachers who can pass on to students by the end of this year.

An easy guide to prices for replacing missing teeth – both dental implants and the alternatives. Prices for dental implants start at £1975.
The price is subject to number of teeth replaced and implants used. Those with higher quality and quantity of jawbone may need less implants to achieve the required stability. The price also depends on which implant system is used – we offer Biomet 3i, one of the leading implant systems in the USA, and the premium Straumann SLA Active BLT, currently the most technically advanced implant system in the world.
Fill in any unsightly gaps in your smile with single implant and crown – your smile will benefit immensely.
Dental implants also stimulate the bone, preventing bone loss and subsequent sinking of the surrounding teeth into the gap.
This is the best way to replace a missing tooth.
A traditional bridge is a false tooth which attaches to surrounding teeth – 'bridging' the gap. The two teeth on either side of the gap are trimmed to accommodate caps, which are fused together with crowns that span the gap, creating a single prosthetic unit. Though preparing the adjacent teeth damages them the results can be very successful.
For a traditional bridge, healthy teeth are required on either side of the gap.
Price depends on the quality of the materials.
Missing Multiple Teeth? Tired of your Dentures?
Implant-supported bridges replace three neighbouring lost teeth using only 2 dental implants – providing more for your money.
During full mouth reconstruction, dental implants can be used to replace every tooth in the mouth. Using a series of implant-supported bridges, all the required teeth can be replaced.
This is a popular option for people who have lost all their teeth but don't like the idea of a denture, which needs to be removed at night. Full mouth restoration with implants is a fixed alternative with aesthetic, long-term results.
Price depends on materials and how many implants need placing. Those with more jawbone remaining will require less.
In more and more countries around the world, stabilising dentures with implants is becoming a standard of care. Whether you already have a denture, or are planning to have one made, stabilising your denture with implants can completely change the way you think about your teeth. With implants supporting them, dentures are stable, retentive and can be used to eat a variety of foods and speak without embarrassment.
Once the implants are placed, dentures can attach to them through studs (like press-studs on clothes) or by clipping onto bars. Like normal dentures, they can be removed at night for cleaning and storage.
Traditional dentures can either replace missing teeth or a full arch. Partial dentures are retained mostly by clipping on to other teeth, while complete dentures stay in by creating a seal between them and the underlying gum.
At Scott Arms Dental Practice we provide a variety of denture material options including both very strong and elastic materials.
Can't pay in one go? We offer the opportunity to spread the cost over up to two years for treatments over £500 – no interest, no hidden costs. Please contact us for details.
You'll pay one price for all implant work – this includes any crowns, bridges or dentures. However, an x-ray/radiograph will cost an additional £30 if you need it (many do).
Dr. Phil Tangri is our implant expert at the Scott Arms Dental Practice. Since completing extensive postgraduate training in implant dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons (London), he's placed thousands of implants over 24 years with a success rate of 98%.
Phil has been the practice owner since taking over the practice in 1994. He has been fundamental in helping Scott Arms grow into one of the largest and most highly reputable practices in the West Midlands.
Our other implant dentists Dr. Richard Ostins and Dr. Adam Higgins have over 10 years experience with implants each.
The Scott Arms dental team is dedicated to quality care and patient satisfaction. Here are the thoughts of a patient who's had success with us in the past.

Despite the countless stories of how naturopathic medicine has helped people make positive health breakthroughs, it's still somewhat misunderstood. Dr. Doni seeks to clarify what naturopathy is – and what it isn't.
There are many types of health practitioners, so how will you know when you've found the right one for you? Dr. Doni has come up with a list of five overall attributes to look for in a practitioner to help you meet your health goals.
Setting specific goals is really important to making health changes in your life. In this post, Dr. Doni talks about how to set a health goal – and how to use your intuition as a tool in doing so. After going through this process, you might find that your goal is something you previously thought was impossible!
Your intuition is a really important factor in managing your health. While this may seem to go against conventional wisdom, there is increasing medical and psychological research showing how essential it is to health. Let's take a deeper look at intuition as a tool to help you achieve your health goals.

As regards the victory of the BJP in 2014 elections, a majority of the Hindus had felt pleasure, because Indian elections based on media campaign against Islam, Muslims and Pakistan enabled BJP hardliner Modi to become Indian prime minister. Whereas, the Muslim community in India had felt alienated, frightened and perturbed, as most of them believed that they had been effectively disenfranchised.
Undoubtedly, Muslims were already aware of Narendra Modi's agenda to reduce the Muslim community in India to second class citizens, had felt nervous and gloomy. Muslim anxiety in India was multiplying due the fact that during the election campaign, Hindu majority was mobilized on 'hate Muslim' slogans and 'anti Pakistan' jargons, while the incessant and unjust Indian propaganda against Pakistan was beyond anybody's cognition, which still continues unabated. It simply speaks of Hindu deep seated animosity against Pakistan and Pakistani public.
Anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan approach of the BJP and Indian Prime Minister Modi could be judged from two developments. Encouraged by the election-victory of the BJP, on May 28, 2014, in a provocative act to disturb communal harmony among different religious communities in India, Rashtriya Hindu Andolan, a little known Mangalore-based Hindutva group and activists from various right wing groups organized a protest in Mangalore in front of the office of Deputy Commissioner by demanding the authorities to ban the morning Muslim call to prayer (Azan) across the country.
Besides, various developments like unprecedented rise of Hindu extremism, persecution of Muslims, assaults on Muslims, including their places of worships and property by the fanatic Hindu mobs, inclusion of Hindu religious books in curriculum and ban on beef and cow slaughter clearly show that encouraged by the Hindu fundamentalist outfits such as BJP, RSS VHP, Bajrang Dal and Shiv Sena, including other similar parties have been promoting religious and ethnic chauvinism in India by propagating the ideology of Hindutva (Hindu nationalism) which is the genesis of Hindu terrorism.
It is mentionable that on May 27, 2014, during his meeting with Pakistan's former Prime Nawaz Sharif who went to New Delhi to participate in the oath-taking ceremony of the India's Prime Minister Modi proved faultless, because Modi raised baseless issues of terrorism as pre-conditions to advance the Pak-India dialogue to resolve various disputes, including the core issue of Kashmir. He said that slow pace of trial of against the terrorists regarding the Mumbai 26/11 terror case, being held in Pakistan—Islamabad should take action against the culprits in this respect, and should stop cross-border terrorism in India.
Modi forgot that on July 19, 2013, the Indian former home ministry and ex-investigating officer Satish Verma had disclosed that terror attacks in Mumbai in November 26, 2008 and assault on Indian Parliament in January 12, 2001 were carried out by the Indian government to strengthen anti-terrorism laws.
However, continuing false flag operations, on Setember18, 2016, New Delhi staged the drama of the terror attack in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) at a military base in Uri, close to the Line of Control (LoC) with Pakistan.
After the Uri episode, without any investigation, India's top civil and military officials, including their media started propaganda against Pakistan by accusing that the militants who targeted the Uri base came from Pakistan's side of Azad Kashmir and the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba controlled by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) were involved in it. Under the mask of the Uri base attack, India created war-hysteria against Pakistan and started mobilization of troops near the LoC, while claiming surgical strikes on the Azad Kashmir.
But, the myth of Indian surgical strikes was exposed, when in a statement, DG of Pakistan's the Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) Lt. Gen, Asim Saleem Bajwa stated: "The notion of surgical strike linked to alleged terrorists bases is an illusion being deliberately generated by India to create false effects. This quest by Indian establishment to create media hype by rebranding cross border fire as surgical strike is a fabrication of truth." He repeatedly stated that Pakistani troops have been giving equal response to Indian unprovoked firing across the LoC.
In fact, with the assistance of Indian secret agency RAW—by arranging various false flag operations—at Indian Air Force Base in Pathankot on January 2, 2016, at a military base in Uri, at Baramulla etc., the BJP-led regime of Modi deflected the attention of the world from the uprising in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK) owing to the US-led West's double standard. Other aim behind was to increase the vote bank of the BJP by getting the sympathies of Hindus. By manipulating the false flag terror attacks, the BJP-led Indian Prime Minister Modi has also accelerated war-hysteria against Pakistan and instructed Indian forces to continue shelling across the LoC and Working Boundary, which have killed many innocent civilians inside Pakistani side of Kashmir and other nearby villages.
In this connection, in order to win the general elections 2019, Modi and the BJP-led coalition of the extremist parties are, again, propagating the ideology of Hindutva by targeting Muslims and Pakistan. Hence, pre-election strategy of the BJP needs attention.
Nevertheless, following a well throughout plan; BJP is playing anti-Muslim/anti-Pakistan card to gain votes of a majority of Hindus. Earlier BJP intended to create fissures in Muslim voters by blowing up "Triple Talaq" (irrevocable divorce), issue aiming to get votes of Muslim women, but the move turned to be counterproductive. Resultantly, BJP is focusing on Hidnu votes by creating a series of anti-Muslim and anti Pakistan controversies as seen in Jawher Lal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi and Ali Garh Muslim University (Abdullah Mustafvi) Alighar.
The controversies of JNU and Abdullah Mustafvi were created to implicate Islamabad through a well-deliberated media campaign. In the recent past, Pakistani and IOK's journalists were invited on the talk shows and efforts were made to mould their point of view. It is expected that they would be invited again to confront Indian journalists on the above mentioned issues.
Regarding pre-election activities of the BJP, an analyst remarked, "This needs to be taken up as an urgent campaign around the country, a campaign that is inclusive of all whose hearts beat for the nation. And one cannot wait until the dates of the next elections are announced to start this campaign. It is not hard to imagine that the electoral process and this campaign are intimately intertwined. The BJP's Hindutva card is its chosen pathway to electoral victory".
Nonetheless, we can conclude that although tactics have been changed, yet like the elections of 2014, pre-election strategy of the BJP for the general elections of 2019 is based upon the anti-Muslim and anti-Pakistan slogans.


It's been quite a while since we've had a good old-fashioned photo challenge around here.
Our inspiration this time is coming from a photo series I love, Mommy Asanas.
I love this woman. So strange and unapologetic with those damn shears.
And then there's this one that tugs at my fraught relationship with the dishes.
And this. The mother of all baby wearers.
Since I'm such a fan of these, I invited Barbara, the photographic mastermind behind these photos, to help me craft a photo challenge based on this series. And here it is, in her words.
self-portraits – they can show their face or not, but I would try to go deeper here. journal for 1 week & find 1 symbol that serves as a metaphor for their feelings that week. include that symbol in the image somehow.
I love this idea. Take some time, journal or not, to find your symbol. I say that because I was initially overwhelmed by the journaling idea. I'm averse to any more to-dos. So I just sat here, and it came to me.
I've been wading eyeball deep through Jo/Cal aggression recently.
This morning, I knew I needed some listening time from a friends about last night, when I was all aglow over celebrating Jo's 5th birthday. I went swiftly dead inside after watching Jo kick Cal for no apparent reason and then receiving 2 intentional blows on my face from Cal's soft fist. I sulked off to the kitchen where I cleaned up and cried. This is not what I signed up for. I hate senseless kid aggression. I hate testosterone. I hate that this is part of my life. I worry that Jo is teaching Cal to hit and kick. And that my otherwise sweet little sweety is being morphed into another bad hitting boy. I want to surgically remove these routine kicks and smacks from my kids, leaving everything else intact. This is the part I know I don't want. And yet it's always here. Again and again and again.
So that's my photo. And my diatribe.
Care to hop on the old Mommy Asana photo challenge bandwagon?
Not a mommy or a woman or someone who is good at taking pictures? Who cares?! Please share a photo if this challenge gets you going.
You can post your photos on my Facebook page or message the photo to me through Facebook if you'd like to share anonymously. And if you're not all Facebook-y, just leave me a comment here, and I'll be in touch over email so you can send 'em that way.
Sooner rather than later, I'll post a photo gallery of our work here. And we can all sip wine and wear fancy clothes and discuss.
I love this and will try to come up with something!!!!
hooray, rosie! please do even if it feels half-baked. I want this to feel pressure-free and like a fun, creative exploration.
This is not a contest, its an invitation!
This approach is so intriguing and creative and liberating. I'm not much of a photographer but I'm really looking forward to what others post.
But Lisa, I put that aside in for YOU: "…not good at taking pictures? who cares?!" If you're willing, I'd love it if you stepped in the ring–the more folks who don't fancy themselves photographers but go for it anyway, the more who will be willing to follow.
oh my gosh! love barbara's photos too!! challenging, illuminating, and hilarious at the same time. i would love to be part of this, so i'll be steeping.
it does feel familiar…those shears.


EOG Resources reported improvement in wells after implementing new completion techniques in 2012. In the company's core acreage centered around the Parshall Field, 320-acre spacing success has been confirmed and the company is encouraged by early results at 160-acre spacing. Recent wells are indicating cumulative production over previously drilled wells has improved by a range of 30-70%.
In the North Dakota Bakken/Three Forks, positive results from downspaced drilling tests, together with significant modifications in drilling and completion techniques, further boosted EOG's crude oil production growth.
The first wells tested at 160-acre spacing in Parshall, the Wayzetta 022-1509H and Wayzetta 149-1509H, came online at max rates of 1,185 and 1,265 b/d, respectively.
The Hawkeye 01-2501H and 102-2501H, Three Forks wells in McKenzie County, were turned to sales at 2,445 and 2,945 b/d, respectively.
During the fourth quarter and currently our Eagle Ford crude is priced off an LLS index and essentially all of our Bakken and part of our Wolfcamp crude is being railed to our St. James terminal.

Vatican Priest: Catholics Are Being Persecuted Like The Jews
April 3, 2010	Uncategorized
A Vatican priest stepped in it yesterday when he compared the global rash of child molestation investigations to the systemic persecution of Jews.
Speaking in St. Peter's Basilica, the priest, the Rev. Raniero Cantalamessa, took note that Easter and Passover fell during the same week this year, and said he was led to think of the Jews. "They know from experience what it means to be victims of collective violence, and also because of this they are quick to recognize the recurring symptoms," said Father Cantalamessa, who serves under the title of preacher of the papal household. Then he quoted from what he said was a letter from a Jewish friend he did not identify. "I am following the violent and concentric attacks against the church, the pope and all the faithful by the whole world," he said the friend wrote. "The use of stereotypes, the passing from personal responsibility and guilt to a collective guilt, remind me of the more shameful aspects of anti-Semitism." Good Friday has traditionally been a fraught day in Catholic-Jewish relations. Until the liberalizing Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, Catholic liturgy included a prayer for the conversion of the Jews, and Catholic teaching held Jews responsible for the Crucifixion.
The Vatican immediately distanced themselves from the remarks, but Jewish groups are livid.
Jewish leaders around the world used words like repugnant, obscene and offensive to describe the sermon, particularly, as Di Segni noted, it came on the day that for centuries Christians prayed for the conversion of the Jews, who were held collectively responsible for Jesus' death. "How can you compare the collective guilt assigned to the Jews which caused the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people to perpetrators who abuse their faith and their calling by sexually abusing children?" demanded Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the international Jewish rights group.

Birmingham 2022: Our 2020 Rewind
Words by
Ian Reid
Birmingham 2022 Chief Executive
It is undeniable that 2020 has been a challenging year for everyone but we are grateful that despite the complexities that Covid-19 has brought, we've been able to make significant progress in organising the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
That progress has only been possible thanks to the incredibly strong Games Partnership and because of the fantastic team we are assembling at Birmingham 2022. My staff have shown remarkable resilience this year and I would like to pay tribute to all of them.
We've tripled in size since January 2020, with our internal team and official recruiter, Gi Group, leading the way in demonstrating flexibility, by recruiting scores of new team members virtually. This includes 12 new apprentices who will join us in January, with around 18 more starting later in the year too.
The pandemic has of course had an impact, but we have successfully limited this.
We made a slight change to our dates, following changes to the international sporting calendar and updated our schedule, to allow athletes as much time as possible to prepare for the Games.
We also found a new solution for accommodating the 6,500 athletes and team officials we'll be welcoming to the region in July 2022, after it became clear that, because of the global pandemic, the housing being built in the Perry Barr area of Birmingham unfortunately couldn't be completed in time for the Games.
The flexibility, resilience and tenacity the partnership has shown in abundance this year, when responding to these challenges, will stand us in good stead as we move into the next phase of delivering an outstanding and memorable edition of the Commonwealth Games.
We've also been lucky enough to have huge moments of celebration in 2022. Longines was announced as Official Partner and Timekeeper for not only Birmingham 2022 but also for a further two editions of the Games and we activated the Longines sponsored countdown clock in the heart of the host city. We also launched our community programme, United by Birmingham 2022, which already has more than 50 projects signed up.
In the summer we launched our nation-wide mascot campaign, with young people from across the country amazing us with their incredible creativity. We can't wait to unveil the winning design.
On the 28 July we celebrated two years to go by unveiling Smithfield in the heart of Birmingham as the location for beach volleyball, basketball 3×3 and wheelchair basketball 3×3 and we've also recently added St Nicholas Park in Warwick and West Park in Wolverhampton to our venue portfolio. Both of these beautiful parks will provide a stunning backdrop for our road cycling events.
Towards the end of the year both our daily schedule and medal event programme were unveiled. The publication of the latter confirmed that we'll make history by not only having the biggest ever integrated parasport programme, but we'll also be the first ever major multi-sport event to award more medals to women than men.
We've continued to create exciting new partnerships this year with Longines, the University of Birmingham, Gi Group, North, Sunset and Vine and NVT Group all joining Gowling WLG as official sponsors.
The BBC was also announced recently as our domestic broadcast rights holder and with the corporation's amazing track record in covering previous editions of the Games, we know we are in safe hands.
Fantastic progress has also been made on our two key capital projects this year. Full credit to the teams working on the redevelopment of the Alexander Stadium and the construction of the brand new Aquatics Centre in Sandwell because it is truly impressive what they have been able to achieve, and those facilities, which will both serve the community post-Games, are on budget, on schedule and are really starting to take shape.
We are all now fully focused on 2021 which will be an important and exciting year for us.
We hope to release details of the routes for our road cycling and marathon events, unveil the mascot, start our recruitment of more than 12,000 volunteers, publish a more detailed timetable, launch our tickets and the Queen's Baton will also begin its journey around the Commonwealth nations and territories.
We're also looking forward to sharing more details about the six-month culture programme which sits alongside the 11 days of sport, this will be extensive, inclusive and a fantastic and joyful celebration of the city and region, providing even more opportunities to be part of the Games.
Early in 2021 we'll welcome two new board members, a new community engagement team and key team members, including a head of equality, diversity and inclusion.
We're also continue to recruit and procure, underlining the critical role that we know that the Games will play in helping the West Midlands recover from a turbulent time in 2020.
2021 really will be a crucial and exciting 12 months and I for one can't wait for it to begin.
"Hugely encouraging" progress at Birmingham 2022 Alexander Stadium


Saunas and steam rooms have been known for their health benefits for centuries. The health benefits of sauna/steam bathing is personal. It is an individual experience, however medical research does indicate that it can provide a number of benefits mentioned below.
The skin is the largest organ in the human body. Your skin protects your inside organs and keeps infections out. This prevents you from getting sick. Your skin loses about 30,000 to 40,000 dead skin cells from the surface almost every minute. You won't see it happening but it does! Another fact is that your skin sheds a layer of these dead cells every 24 hours, and renews itself completely about every 28 days. Your skin swells when it absorbs water hence sauna/steam bathing is the perfect way to cleanse your body's largest organ. Brushing your body helps remove the dead skin.
A sauna/steam session increases your metabolic rate. The energy required for sweating means calories are being burned.
The heart rate increases when the body is exposed to high temperatures, which also improves circulation.
Being relaxed through a sauna/steam experience may help you to enjoy a deeper sleep.
Sauna/steam bathing helps you to relax from every day stress and anxiety in your life. Sauna/steam bathing may assist your muscles recovering from heavy exercise.
Having a regular sauna/steam bath could give you a more youthful appearance. With the opening of pores and cleansing of the skin, you will feel and look fresher as well.
Consult with your own physician before stepping into a sauna/steam room.
If you suffer from high blood pressure your doctor may agree to you enjoying a steam room session or a soft sauna/Tylarium experience where the temperature is only around 45C-60C.

Easing the Transition to College Amid a Pandemic
A Hunt Institute panel tackled the challenges—and opportunities—facing students, families, and institutions in the age of covid
Stefanie Sanford
Even in the best of times, moving from high school to college is a challenge. After 13 years of going almost automatically from one grade to the next, students are faced with a slew of choices and procedures. Applications, scholarships, financial aid, classes, dorms—the process is often dizzying, and for many, intimidating.
"The transition to higher education has always been tricky, especially for students without much of a cushion to fall back on," said former Delaware governor Jack Markell. "Every summer, 10 to 20% of students nationally who plan to enroll in college never make it to their first day. And that's when we're not in the midst of a national economic and health crisis."
Markell, a longtime advocate of college access, was one of several policymakers who participated in Governing Principals: Supporting Student Transitions in Times of Crisis, a panel hosted by the Hunt Institute on September 15. He was joined by former Ohio governor Bob Taft and Eloy Oakley, chancellor of the California Community Colleges, in an hour-long discussion about the consequences of covid-19 on students' college plans.
The pandemic has added a different kind of urgency to the already important conversation about students attending college. Enrollment nationwide was already trending downward in 2019, and there are worries that the disruptions to K–12 schools in the spring may have caused even more students to fall off track for college.
"We all need to be concerned about losing an entire generation of students due to covid," Markell said. "We need to get students to apply to college and apply for financial aid."
Oakley agreed. "It's never been more important to have clear, actionable steps to college," he said. Given the uncertainty created by the pandemic—not only economically, but also in terms of health and safety— many students may be more comfortable, or find it more financially reasonable, to start out at community colleges. That means leaders must ensure that K–12 counselors, teachers, and principals are familiar with the process of transferring from community colleges to four-year universities.
"This is going to be critical to our most vulnerable students," Oakley added, recalling his own path of starting at a community college and transferring to earn a bachelor's degree. "No matter what challenge you're facing, we will create a pathway for you right now, so that we don't lose this generation of students."

Clear expectations about college readiness can also make a big difference, Taft said. He pointed to a policy that guarantees students scoring above a certain level on the SAT or ACT wouldn't have to take remedial classes at Ohio universities. "It gives students a clear goal," he said, and that matters for building motivation in high school.
Markell pointed out that avoiding remedial classes is crucial for students to make immediate progress toward a degree. Otherwise, he said, "the chances are so much higher that they're going to end up dropping out and end up with this double-whammy of debt but no degree."
Markell, Taft, and Oakley also agreed that employers also have a role to play in keeping students on track. Too many students enter higher education without a specific goal in mind, which makes it easier to give up when challenges arise. Colleges partnering with employers to map out specific curricula or programs as preparation for a specific job can keep students pushing forward. Knowing there's a career waiting for them at the end of a four-year education can make a difference in how students experience college—especially those who are concerned about the financial risk of higher education.
"Governors have an amazing opportunity to convene" and help broker those relationships between K–12, higher education, and the business community, said Oakley. "The more we can have this cross-sector dialogue, the easier it is to find solutions."
At a time when federal policymakers are intensely divided, states still have plenty of power to make meaningful progress on college access, Markell said. Streamlining regulations, simplifying transfer processes, and setting clear guidance on college readiness can all happen at the state level if governors, legislators, and education leaders can find common ground.
"You have to approach this with a total sense of humility," Markell said. "You've got to listen to people. You've got to be willing to try new things, and you've got to try and make it not political. If you really try to make every decision based on what's in the best interest of students, you're more likely to get it right."

Adam Minter, author of 'Junkyard Planet,' to speak for Jewish Museum Milwaukee
Ellen Braunstein | October 29, 2021 | 23 Heshvan 5782 | 23 Heshvan 5782
Adam Minter comes from a family of scrap dealers going back more than 100 years. He is the great grandson of Abe Leder, a Russian immigrant, who echoed the common cry of the turn-of-the-century Jewish peddlers: "Junk man! Any rags, any bones, any bottles today?"
Minter will be speaking 7 p.m. Nov. 18, virtually for Jewish Museum Milwaukee, which is hosting through Jan. 30 a traveling exhibit: "Scrap Yard: Innovators of Recycling." The event is being held in partnership with the Milwaukee Public Library. Visit Jewishmuseummilwaukee.org.
Minter, of Minneapolis, grew up around his father's scrap metal yard and has researched the history of the industry. He went into the business as a chronicler of the modern-day recycling industry – a trade journalist and book author.
"The scrap recycling and resale trade," he said, "played a crucial role in the immigrant experience of Jews in the late 19th and early 20th century."
The exhibit, curated by the Jewish Museum of Maryland, chronicles an industry that turns waste into raw materials. For more than 200 years, discarded metals, rags, paper and animal hides have provided economic opportunities for scrappers – immigrants and native-born Americans who collected, stored, brokered, and sold them.
Minter, author of "Junkyard Planet: Travels in the Billion Dollar Trash Trade," said, "by one accounting, more than half of the Jewish population of New York City in the early 20th century was directly or indirectly involved in scrap and resale." And it wasn't just New York, either. His great-grandfather landed in Galveston, Texas, having fled conscription in the tzar's Army. "Wherever there was a fast-growing early 20th century city with a manufacturing base, there were Jews collecting, processing and re-selling that city's scrap. It's an essential piece of our collective history in America."
The business passed down through the generations. A backpack became a hand-drawn cart, then a pickup truck and eventually a scrap yard. "My childhood memories are walking around the metal warehouse with my dad, looking at the stuff we were buying to process for sale," Minter said. "So, I grew up around it. It wasn't anything unusual for me to talk about recycling."
Minter, his wife and six-year-old son were based, pre-COVID, in Kuala Lumpur, where among his many assignments, he writes a column for Bloomberg Opinion on China, the environment and technology. In his most recent book, "Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale," Minter delves into the vast, multibillion-dollar industry that resells used stuff around the world – and what it tells us about consumerism and the environment.
What people least understand about the recycling industry is it is first and foremost a business, Minter said. "In developed countries, if you put something in the recycling bin, you think it's good for the environment. But the reality is that nothing gets recycled if they're not going to make something out of it. So, it's a raw materials business. Growing up in the business, I didn't think of it in terms of the environment as much as it was my family's livelihood."
In a vision for the future, he would like to see a world of less disposable things and more heirlooms. "When people buy something, they will think at that point that maybe I'll give it to a friend, a sibling or child at some point. It can continue to be used because not only does it affect the environment, it's kind of good for our soul."
