All children as special in their own way, with different abilities, learning, & views. But there are some children out there, who are different, who don't follow the pack, who march to their own beat, & tend to stick out. I have the privilege of parenting two children who are unique, one of a kind, a spirited soul. And let me tell you, that even on our bad days, I wouldn't change a thing about my boys, I would gladly go down this road again, because they both have given me so much more than I have given them.
When I was a young single mom, I thought I was the world's worst mom. I couldn't get my son (my oldest) to listen, behave, or do anything he didn't want to do. It was a nightmare for a while and I had no one to help or guide me, so I could better help my son. I have been brutally honest with my son and everyone knows he was a terror and at times still is at 15. Starting at 8 years old, doctors tried to help me understand why he does what he does (at this time he was acting out) yet nothing was working. Over the years, different doctors (he has seen a bunch) has given him the label of ADHD, Bipolar, mood disorder, & ODD. We tried medicine, therapy and a few others things with no luck. I didn't want to put him on medicine after medicine. I was worried of the effects on him down the road. When we got the last diagnoses, I had enough with doctors. How could they mistake one thing for another?
My youngest son, who is 4 years behind his brother, is different than his brother, but has struggles just the same. He wouldn't speak, eat (hardly anything other than protein shakes for years) do what kids his own age did, till he was about 5. I knew by 1 he was different than other kids. The doctors diagnosed him with Autism, which didn't mean a thing to me. He has had an equally hard but different road than my other son. My littlest son, whom looks a lot like me, is someone you won't ever forget. For example, when he 1st started talking around 4 or 5 (talking so others could understand him, I always knew what he wanted or was saying), he would use words and phrases from shows he watched like Star Trek & Star Wars. Plus, he would add these big words and people would just stare at him. Both my boys are amazing but different than societies norms. They tend to have a harder time at things compared to my 3 girls.
For me the biggest change in our family, was the day I realized that these doctors couldn't put my boys in a mold. And why was I trying so damn hard? There wasn't a certain diagnoses to help them, because there wasn't anything wrong with them. They are who they are, just as you and I are. Saying my son is Autistic or ADHD or Bipolar doesn't mean a thing to me anymore. God made them the way he made them, who am I to change that. Things changed after I came to this realization & along the way I have met some great people with children who are equally unique. A friend of mine has a son, who is like my boys, a unique soul, because of the way he dresses, he loves to dress in girl clothes. No he isn't transgender because he is only 4, but if he is so be it. That is who he is and we all love him for it. Right now he is just a boy who loves the look and feel of girls clothing. I was blessed enough to be ask to do his 4 yr photos, which came out amazing. Everyone loved them. And I was able to capture him perfectly in them.
Now don't get me wrong, we have good days and bad ones, just like anyone else. My oldest is on one medicine which is a mood stabilizer, which he does need and it does work. On his medical chart, it says he is Bipolar, but I hate using that word because there is so much stigma associated with it from peoples lack of understanding or how crime shows portray people who are Bipolar. My littlest boy is still Autistic, well because it doesn't change. He doesn't need any help in school, in fact he has made honor & high honors 2 times this year. All on his own. Pretty amazing considering he was so far behind and didn't speak till very late.
Every Valentine's day , I make little things for the kids. This year I'm didn't have much of a budget, so I decided to make a few dollar store items. My 1st project was 2 hair clips & headbands. This was a simple, easy, & frugal which cost $3.00/for two with some ribbon left over. I loved how simple they were and how cute they look. My girls are going to love it.
All of the above items were found at my local Dollar Tree Store.
And there you have it……..A cute & affordable Valentine's day project that anyone can afford and make time for.
For a refresher here is Frugal Foodies Pt. 1 & Frugal Foodies Pt.2. And here is part 3 of this series.
*how I go shopping: I make a list of every item I need for my weekly meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks.) My list isn't in order of the grocery store, but it's in order of the weekly meals. Then I go shopping according to the all the meals. Whatever is left, I use for extra fruits & veggies, as well as ingredients I need for snacks, and snacky foods. This way has helped me save tons, as well as having my weekly meals all planned out, so there isn't a need to splurge shopping. I do save $20 or so for fresh fruits, veggies, or whatever we need during the week to get us by. I also do $10 stockpile twice a month not every week. I use coupons for the stockpile or anything else that I get at drug stores, Target, or Walmat, but I don't use coupons for my food shopping anymore, unless its a great deal on the items I use regularly. . I am saving more not using coupons.
*only shop on the outside of the stores- don't buy anything in the middle of the grocery stores. If you can help it.
*freezer cooking saves you time, money, & stress I recommend this at least once a month. We do this for our weekly snacks 2 times per month. Snacks are so expensive; this literally cut half of our grocery budget and puts more money towards veggies, fruits, & proteins.
*grow your own garden during the spring, summer, fall, & winter- you can have a few plants indoors that would work well in any room that had sunlight and wasn't freezing cold. Tomatoes, peppers, herbs, and some lettuce are a few that can do well indoors.
*allow yourself & your family to have a cheat item, every so often. This will prevent any break downs in your diet.
*cut out as much processed foods as you can (this was the hardest for thing for me since I was raised on frozen dinners)- this is an instant savings. The way I got through junk food withdrawals is that I was able to find a quick homemade snack to replace the junk food with. We actually found about 10 different snack foods that are homemade, takes less than 20 minutes to make, and satisfy my cravings whether it was junk food or sweets.
*eliminate shopping in the middle of the store where all the processed foods are, but if you do need to shop in the middle, my rule of thumb is that I don't by anything unless I know all the ingredients on the label.
*Some freezable items are: milk, bakery items, butter, yogurt, cream cheese, shredded cheese, fruit, veggies (most things in item 1 of the perishable list can be frozen), and lunch meats to name a few.
*come up with or create new unique recipes- to keep it fresh- otherwise you may be more tempted to eat something you really didn't want to eat.
* make your own baked goods- do this when you have time, freeze some for later when you have no time. Making your own is a lot cheaper and a lot healthier than the premade snacks.
* start doing a $10.00 stockpile (which I do twice a month)- I picked 10 since it was an amount I could always do. You have to set a realistic amount in order for this to work. You spend the amount on items you house hold regular uses that are non-perishable. You then see how much you can stretch your 10 to get the most you can. This is an easy way to start working up your stockpile or to actually start a stockpile without breaking the bank. This can take a little time but a lot of saving sites are doing this, go to momsbyheart.com and she helps you match up deals to get the most for your money. And she does the stockpile 10 every week, so go see how she does.
Internet– The sites I use are: moneysavingmom.com, frualiving.com, momsbyheart.net (which is a great site for everything including free printable and holiday things), and Healthy Life Deals.com (coupons for healthy foods). Just a side note- some of these sites are from down south so sometimes the deals and coupons are different.
Blog sites that I are my favorite are: Love and Olive Oil, Annie Eats, Fabulously frugal, Moneysavingmom, Momsbyheart, GoodCheapEats & Skinnytaste.com. And don't forget Localharvest.org is the best place to find CSA information as well as farmer's markets and event going on year round.- where I found my CSA for this year-my 1st CSA.
There are numerous ways to get healthy foods locally just in Peterborough. In the Monadnock area there are so many more opportunities you can choose from. It just depends what you are looking for and whether you want to get it locally or travel to stores for it. Since gas is so high, this is something you need to think about because your gas money to the grocery store out of town comes out of your grocery budget. You need to make sure it is worth it.
*Farmer's markets- happen year round now. In our area alone there are farmer's markets every day of the week. Peterborough, Keene, Rindge, Milford, and Hancock are a few.
What are some of your frugal resources that have helped you?
Today, I spent the day getting ready for a blizzard coming our way tonight and lasting till late Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning. The Northeast will be getting slammed in a little bit, but thankfully we are ready for it. I used to hate it when it snowed, since we were never prepared, but it's different when you are ready and waiting.
One thing that happens for me everytime we get ready for a storm like this, is how it gives me a glimpse of our lives, without the ease of electronics, how the people lived way back when, in the olden days. It makes me realize just how ease we have it nowadays. But it also makes me aware how much electronics can take away from our lives if we let it for ex. less actual person to person interaction. So, yes I am thrilled about tonights snow because it gives me some extra time with my family, plus it gives us something to play in.
So here I am, waiting for our blizzard preparing & making sure we have plenty of food & water, keeping candles all in one spot w/ a lighter, checking our inverter making sure it still works……..to mention a few things.
Have you made this cake before? If so, what version did you make?


Early in the summer we created a list of all the fun things we wanted to do over the summer, made a poster, and checked them off as we completed them. I was hoping that it would help keep things top of mind while providing a fun activity as we decorated the poster with stickers. Most importantly, it was a good reminder to celebrate what is truly important – family and the time we spend together.
1. Go camping – We went four times, including a trip to Dosewallips with five other families.
2. Swim in the lake – We got to swim in both Lake Sammamish at my aunt and uncle's lake house and Pine Lake with some good friends.
3. Go to SeaFair – Auntie Steffi, Unkie Paul and Oliver joined us at SeaFair this year and we got to watch the Blue Angels and the hydroplane boat races from the shoreline.
4. Make tie dye shirts – The family has a matching set of tie dyes. I am sure this is only the first of many tie dye projects.
5. Find a new ice cream spot – While in California we went to a new ice cream spot near Auntie, Unkie and Oliver's house.
6. See fish throwing at Pike Place Market – After selecting our fish, Jack was so excited to see it get thrown back over the fish counter to be wrapped up.
7. Make garden art – Our painted rocks for the garden were not only fun, but were also featured in FamilyFun Magazine.
8. Pick berries – The boys and I got to pick blackberries near our house and came home with some war wounds to prove it.
9. Play golf – There was backyard golf, as well as golf on the course. Jim and I even got to go play a couple of rounds on our own – a rarity.
10. Paint a project – Jim and the boys made a pirate flag for the play fort and Jim is currenly working with Jack on a complete room makeover. They are making Jack and Optimus Prime bed and his room has been repainted to match the new colors.
Summer was fun, but we are ready for fall. Fall means Husky football, Friday night soccer and prep for Halloween. What will the costumes be this year? You will just have to wait and see.
I am so impressed that you made a list on a poster (and stuck to it)! And went camping 4 times! It sounds like an idyllic summer for kids.
I like your summer plan, they were all obtainable but very special treats. We saw fish and picked blackberries. And camped too! Looking back, it was a lovely summer,so glad you loved yours.
I LOVE that you made a list on a poster. What a great idea. And kids always have great ideas of things to do if you ask. I bet they thought it was the best summer ever!
Fun fun summer. Maybe next year we can try the tie dye shirts 🙂 Congrats on the magazine feature, so cool.

This is the worst sort of prison movie; clichéd and predictable, with dialogue that would make even Magnum PI blanch.
Tom Selleck plays a too-good-to-be-true airline mechanic, Jimmie Rainwood, whose life is turned upside-down when two crooked, coked-up cops muck up the address of a drug deal, and burst in on his house. He comes out of the bathroom with hair dryer in hand; they shoot him, and to cover up their mistake they plant a gun and drugs on him and concoct a story that he fired a shot at them. He immediately gets bail on release from hospital, as no doubt most people who are alleged to have attempted to murder Police do, but is unable to prove his innocence. He gets six years. Inside, he immediately gets stood over by some African American dudes and has to decide whether he enlists the help of the Aryans (after which he would be beholden to them), or gets raped by his tormentors, or kills their main man. He chooses the latter and is soon struttin' around the yard and high-fivin' black prisoners on the basketball court.
He gets out in three, but the bad cops pay a friendly visit to his house just to warn him not to go making trouble for them. Worse, they call his wife an extremely naughty word. It's only then that he realises that just like in prison, he won't be left alone and his life will never return to normal until he does something about it. He sets up the crooked cops, fights them almost single-handedly when the sting goes a bit awry… but of course gets his revenge in the end. Fortunately, we don't have to see him deal with either the death of his innocent mate whom he dragged into his private war and who gets killed in the midst of it all, or the fact that he murdered someone in prison… we just assume he goes back to being a vindicated, worry-free, loving husband and airline mechanic.
Oh, and the one surviving crooked cop (his partner also having been killed), who framed or ripped off all these blokes who are now in jail, is last seen smack-bang in the middle of them all in the very same jail. Yeah, sure.

I have seen this Movie.From start to finish.Talk about injustice.This modest citizen is shot,and framed by two crooked cops,sent to prison,has to endure the harsness,is forced to kill one of his tormentors,is sent to solitare for 90 days,and when released from prison has to endure the visit from these scumbag cops again?The only justice that comes in this Movie is the bad-cops getting caught(one is killed,and the other sent to prison).Injustice,because the highers up in the justice system seem to be working together.Except,however for one.That person is an honest Internal Affairs Investigator.He helps Jimmie Rainwood get Justice.

Розе́ттский ка́мень — стела из гранодиорита, найденная в 1799 году в Египте возле небольшого города Розетта (теперь Рашид), недалеко от Александрии, с выбитыми на ней тремя идентичными по смыслу текстами, в том числе двумя на египетском языке — начертанными египетскими иероглифами и египетским демотическим письмом, которое представляет собой сокращённую скоропись эпохи позднего Египта, и одним на древнегреческом языке. Древнегреческий был хорошо известен лингвистам, и сопоставление трёх текстов послужило отправной точкой для расшифровки египетских иероглифов. С 1802 года Розеттский камень хранится в Британском музее (инвентарный номер EA 24).

Текст камня представляет собой благодарственную надпись, которую в 196 году до н. э. египетские жрецы адресовали Птолемею V Эпифану, монарху из династии Птолемеев. Начало текста: «Новому царю, получившему царство от отца»… В эллинистический период многие подобные документы в пределах греческой ойкумены распространялись в двух- или трёхъязычном виде, что и сослужило впоследствии добрую службу лингвистам.

Камень был обнаружен 15 июля 1799 года лейтенантом французских войск в Египте Пьером Бушаром при сооружении форта Сен-Жюльен близ Розетты на западном рукаве дельты Нила. Офицер понял важность камня как потенциального ключа к расшифровке иероглифов и отправил находку в Каир, где за год до этого по приказу Наполеона был открыт Институт Египта. В 1801 году французы потерпели в Александрии поражение от англичан и были вынуждены передать им камень вместе с рядом других памятников.

Описание

Розеттский камень имеет высоту 114,4 см, ширину 72,3 см и толщину 27,9 см. Он весит примерно 760 кг. На камне имеются три надписи: в верхней части — древнеегипетские иероглифы, посередине — демотический текст, и в нижней части — текст на древнегреческом языке. Передняя поверхность полированная с вырезанными надписями на ней. Обратная сторона грубо обработана.

Розеттский камень, внесённый в каталог предметов, обнаруженных французской экспедицией, и переданный британским войскам в 1801 году, как «камень из чёрного гранита, имеющий три надписи иероглифами, египетском и греческом, найденный при Розетте». В более поздних описаниях, с 1847 года, камень упоминался как чёрный базальт. Однако в 1999 г. анализ небольшой части камня во время работ в Британском музее показал, что это гранодиорит — магматическая интрузивная горная порода переходного между гранитом и диоритом состава.

Спустя некоторое время после прибытия камня в Лондон надписи на камне были окрашены белым мелом, чтобы сделать их более различимыми, а остальная поверхность была покрыта слоем карнаубского воска, предназначенного для защиты от пальцев посетителей. Это придало тёмный цвет камню, что привело к ошибочной идентификации как чёрного базальта. Когда камень был очищен в 1999 году, был выявлен тёмно-серый оттенок, блеск его кристаллической структуры, а также розовые прожилки в верхнем левом углу.

В течение 1802 года с камня было выполнено четыре гипсовых слепка, которые были переданы в университеты Оксфорда, Кембриджа и Эдинбурга и в Тринити-колледж (Дублин). Вскоре после этого были сделаны отпечатки надписи и распространены среди европейских учёных.

В 1802 году камень был передан в Британский музей, где он находится по сей день. Новые надписи, нанесённые на левой и правой гранях плиты и окрашенные в белый цвет, гласят: «Захвачено в Египте Британской армией в 1801 году» и «Передано в дар королём Георгом III». В середине XIX века камню был присвоен инвентарный номер «EA 24», где «EA» — сокращение от англ. «Egyptian Antiquities».

По данным музея, розеттский камень является наиболее посещаемым одиночным объектом, и в течение нескольких десятилетий открытки с его изображением были самыми продаваемыми.

Исходная стела

Камень является фрагментом большой стелы, происходящей, вероятно, из Саиса (расположенного в дельте вверх по течению розеттского рукава Нила). При последующих поисках в Розетте никаких дополнительных фрагментов не было найдено. Из-за повреждений ни один из трёх текстов не является абсолютно полным. Греческий текст содержит 54 строки, из которых первые 27 сохранились в полном объёме, а остальные частично утрачены в связи с диагональным отколом в правом нижнем углу камня. Демотический текст сохранился лучше остальных: это 32 строки, из которых у 14 первых слегка повреждена правая сторона. Иероглифический текст пострадал больше всего. Сохранились только последние 14 строк иероглифического текста, все они отколоты на правой стороне, 12 — на левой.

Полная длина иероглифического текста и общий размер первоначальной стелы, фрагментом которой является розеттский камень, может быть оценена на основе сопоставления со стелами, которые сохранились. Из сравнений можно предположить, что дополнительные 14 или 15 строк иероглифических надписей, отсутствующих в верхней части розеттского камня, составляли ещё 30 сантиметров. В дополнение к надписи, вероятно, была сцена, изображающая царя, представленного богам, увенчанная крылатым диском. Первоначальная высота стелы была, вероятно, около 149 сантиметров.

Толкование текстов
До открытия розеттского камня и его последующей расшифровки у лингвистов не было понимания древнего египетского языка и письменности. В поздний период правления фараонов использование иероглифического письма становится все более специализированным; в IV веке нашей эры немногие египтяне были способны читать иероглифы.
Использование иероглифов для монументальных надписей прекратилось после закрытия всех нехристианских храмов в 391 году по приказу римского императора Феодосия I; последняя известная надпись, найденная в Филе, датируется 24 августа 396 года.

Расшифровкой египетских текстов на камне параллельно занимались русский языковед Иван Гульянов, французский востоковед Сильвестр де Саси, шведский дипломат Давид Окерблад, английский учёный Томас Юнг и французский исследователь Жан-Франсуа Шампольон. Гульянов издал свой анализ в 1804 году.

В 1822 году Шампольон совершил прорыв в деле дешифровки иероглифов, использовав метод, ставший ключом к пониманию египетских текстов. Этому учёному удалось прочитать обведённые картушем иероглифы, обозначавшие имена «Птолемей» и «Клеопатра», однако его дальнейшее продвижение тормозило господствовавшее мнение о том, что фонетическая запись стала применяться только в Позднее царство или эллинистический период для обозначения греческих имён. Однако вскоре он натолкнулся на картуши с именами фараонов Рамсеса II и Тутмоса III, правивших в Новое царство. Это позволило ему выдвинуть предположение о преимущественном применении египетских иероглифов не для обозначения слов, а для обозначения согласных звуков и слогов. Расшифровка древнего языка стала всеобщим достоянием после публикации его труда «Египетская грамматика» в 1841 году. Открытие Шампольона дало толчок дальнейшему активному изучению египетской иероглифической письменности.

Греческий текст

Древнегреческий язык был широко известен учёным, но детали его использования в эллинистический период как государственного языка в Египте Птолемеев были не столь известны. В апреле 1802 года Стивен Вестон устно представил английский перевод греческого текста на заседании общества антикваров. Тем временем две из литографических копий, сделанных в Египте, достигли Института Франции. Там библиотекарь и антиквар Габриэль де Ла Порт дю Тейл приступил к работе над переводом греческого языка. Почти сразу же он по приказу Наполеона был направлен в другое место. Он оставил свою незаконченную работу Юберу Паскалю Амейлону, который в 1803 году выпустил первый опубликованный перевод греческого текста, на латинском и французском языках, для обеспечения широкого распространения. В Кембридже, Ричард Порсон работал над утерянным греческим текстом в правом нижнем углу. Он создал предполагаемую реконструкцию, которая вскоре распространилась в обществе антикваров.

Перевод греческого текста на русский язык выполнил Арон Гуревич.

Демотический текст

Тайны демотического текста удалось открыть достаточно быстро. На момент открытия камня в Египте шведский дипломат и учёный Давид Окерблад работал над малоизвестными текстами, которые незадолго до того были найдены в Египте (сегодня они известны как демотические). Французский востоковед Сильвестр де Саси в 1801 году получил от французского министра внутренних дел Жана Антони Шапталя один из первых литографических отпечатков розеттского камня. Саси понял, что средний текст имел ту же систему письма, что и тексты, над которыми работал Окерблад. Саси и Окерблад приступили к работе, фокусируясь на среднем тексте и считая, что система письма была алфавитной.

Они попытались отыскать в демотической надписи повторяющиеся группы знаков, удалённые друг от друга на промежуток, пропорциональный расстоянию между соответствующими сходными именами греческого текста. В 1802 году Сильвестр де Саси сообщил Шапталю, что он успешно определил пять имён («Александр», «Александрия», «Птолемей», «Арсиноя» и прозвище Птолемея «Епифан»), а Окерблад опубликовал алфавит из 29 букв, которые он выделил из греческих имён в демотический текст. Однако они не смогли определить все остальные символы в демотическом тексте, который, как теперь известно, включает идеографические и другие символы наряду с фонетическими.

Иероглифический текст

Расшифровка иероглифического варианта текста представлялась сложной задачей для учёных, так как на тот момент иероглифическое письмо было почти не исследовано. Много споров было о самом значении иероглифов — фонетичны ли они (то есть обозначает иероглиф звуки, а не слова) или нет. Важный вклад в расшифровку египетских иероглифов внёс французский учёный Жан-Франсуа Шампольон, который сначала от мысли о символичности иероглифов перешёл к тому, что только иностранные имена и названия пишутся, используя иероглифы как звуки, и только потом, проведя сравнение иероглифов и коптского языка, установил их родственность, что стало гигантским шагом вперёд для египтологии. Таким образом было установлено, что поздние египетские иероглифы фонетичны. Следует добавить, что иероглифические надписи на камне идут справа налево, что является традиционным для древнеегипетского написания. Однако в других надписях встречаются написание сверху вниз и слева направо. Порядок чтения иероглифов (слева направо или справа налево) можно установить по тому, куда направлены головы людей и животных, являющихся иероглифами, — они всегда смотрят в начало строки. Если же читать надо сверху вниз, то текст будет разделён на колонки длинными прямыми линиями.

Вопросы о возвращении в Египет

Впервые притязания на Розеттский камень высказал руководитель «Верховного совета древностей Египта» Захи Хавасс на 250 юбилее Британского музея, назвав артефакт «иконой египетской идентичности». Два года спустя он перечислил важные для египетского наследия объекты, среди которых помимо Розеттского камня были бюст Нефертити (Египетский музей Берлина), статуя Хемиуна (Музей Рёмера и Пелицэуса в Хильдесхайме, Германия), Дендерский Зодиак (Лувр, Париж),  (Музей изящных искусств (Бостон), США).

В 2005 году Британский музей подарил Египту полноразмерную копию Камня, которую установили недалеко от места обнаружения. В ноябре 2005 года Хавасс просил предоставить Камень сроком на 3 месяца для выставки в Египте, вновь напомнив об окончательном возвращении артефакта. В 2009 году Хавасс обещал забыть требования о возвращении, если Британский музей предоставит стелу во временную экспозицию на период открытия Большого Египетского музея в 2013 году. Просьбу отклонили.

Среди национальных музеев превалирует жёсткое неприятие идеи репатриации памятников культурного наследия человечества. Объясняется это тем, что «приобретённые в прежние времена предметы должны рассматриваться в свете различных восприятий и ценностей, отражающих эту раннюю эпоху», а также «музеи служат не гражданам одной нации, а людям всех наций». Более того, своей известностью и значением Розеттский камень обязан именно тому обстоятельству, что в своё время он был перемещён в Европу, а не остался в Африке.

Album Review: Rhonda Vincent & Daryle Singletary – 'American Grandstand'
Rhonda Vincent & Daryle Singletary
American Grandstand
"Traditional country music is a whole different genre," Vincent said. "A lot of people will say that there is not a market for traditional country music, but I know that is not true as it has its own niche. I did that traditional country album with Gene Watson not long ago, and I found out that there is a tremendous audience out there for traditional country music. Daryle and I have been doing shows together, and he is so much fun. When everybody hears this new album, they will know how special it is." – Rhonda Vincent discussing American Grandstand. h/t That Nashville Sound
It's hard to believe it's been six years since Your Money and My Good Looks, which helped redefine Vincent's pedigree beyond bluegrass. American Grandstand is a companion album of sorts to the project with Watson, a chance to recreate the magic all over again. Her friendship with Daryle Singletary goes back 23 years when they were labelmates on Giant Records. One of their earliest collaborations, a cover of Keith Whitley's "Would These Arms Be In Your Way," appeared on his self-titled debut album. They've collaborated frequently through the years, most recently on "We Must've Been Out of Our Minds," from Vincent's Only Me in 2014.
To say American Grandstand has been a long time coming is an understatement. With the timing finally right, they went into the studio to craft an album that mixes old and new, covers of classic duets interwoven amongst tracks newly-composed. A few of the duets may be oft-covered, but in the care of Vincent and Singletary, are as expertly executed as they've ever been. They tackle the mournful nature of "After The Fire Is Gone" with ease and extract the effervesce from "Golden Ring" without issue. "Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man" is a revelation, one of the strongest collaborative recordings I've heard in years.
They also surprise, with a stunning rendition of Merle Haggard and Bonnie Owens' lesser-known "Slowly and Surely." Also not as famous is George Jones and Tammy Wynette's "One," which the pair released in 1996. Vincent and Singletary's serviceable take is the album's lead single. Other surprises include Harlan Howard's "Above and Beyond," which they deliver flawlessly. A third Jones cover, "A Picture of Me (Without You)" is also very good. "Up This Hill and Down," which originated with The Osborne Brothers, is excellent.
The remainder of the album consists of the new songs, which include a reprise of "We Must Be Out of Our Minds." These tracks are all ballads, which varying degrees of tempo. "As We Kiss Our World Goodbye," about the end of a relationship, feels like the kind of track Singletary would've recorded back in the mid-1990s. In any other era, "Can't Live Life" would be cemented as a standard.
If you can believe it, the rest of the album only slightly pails in comparison to the title track, which showcases Vincent as a songwriter (she wrote it solo). The spellbinding ballad is a grand finale of sorts, detailing the tale of duet partners preparing for their final show and the emotions attached to such an ending. I love how Vincent presents the well-worn themes in a new and exciting light.
American Grandstand is everything you would expect from a Vincent and Singletary collaboration, yet it's even more deeply satisfying than you could even imagine. In a rare move, they actually sang together in the studio, at the instance of Singetary, who knew immediately that recording separately wasn't going to work. The pair were born to sing together, even if Vincent's power overtakes Singletary's understated charm on occasion. He sounds to me like a modern day incarnation of Whitley, with a voice that has deepened over the years. It proves that Whitley's influence continues to this day, which only makes this record even more special and essential.
I cannot recommend American Grandstand enough.

Album Review: Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison – "Cheater's Game"
Kelly Willis and Bruce Robison
Cheater's Game
If there exists a constant within country music in 2013, it's the collaborative album. Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell are teaming up for a long-awaited record, tour partners Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan recently completed work on an album, Vince Gill and Paul Franklin have a record of their own in the works, and Steve Martin is branching out from The Steep Canyon Rangers to release a CD with Edie Brickell.
Yet another project, and first of these to see release, is Cheater's Game, the inaugural duets album from Kelly Willis and her husband Bruce Robison. Produced by singer/songwriter Brad Jones, it's the first album from either artist in more than five years, and well worth the wait.
The majority of the project strikes a mournful tone, allowing Willis to showcase her fine interpretive skills as a honky-tonk balladeer. She does it best on the stunning title track, a couple's lament on their marriage in the wake of unfaithful behavior. But she's equally superb on "Ordinary Fool," the story of a woman who understands a friend's predicament following the end of a relationship. Both boast excellent lyrics (Robison co-wrote the title track with Liz Foster and The Trishas' Savannah Welch and penned "Ordinary Fool" solo) and fine production work by Jones who uses wistful steel and lush acoustic guitars to effectively set the mood.
"Waterfall," also written solely by Robison, showcases Willis' gifts a singer better than any track on the album, opening with her gorgeous twang backed by a mandolin so light and weightless, it need not exist. The track, about a woman begging a bartender to pour her a waterfall of drinks to drown her sorrows, is one of the best and most delicately handled drinking songs I've ever heard.
Robison is a criminally underrated songwriter, on par with the likes of Bobby Braddock, Hank Cochran and Harlan Howard. His innate ability to take well-worn themes and vigorously bring them back to life with dynamic hooks elevates Cheater's Game from ordinary to extraordinary. Even better is the pair's ability to weave in outside material that blends with, opposed to distract from, the originals.
My favorite of the covers is Dave Alvin's "Border Radio," which wouldn't sound out of place on a George Strait album. It took me a minute to warm up to the Tex-Mex vibe, but the duo brings it to life wonderfully. Also excellent is Robison's laid-back reading of Don Williams' "We're All The Way," which brings out the sensual side of his voice and showcases a tender moment for the pair as a duo.
I much prefer Willis and Robison's take on "Long Way Home" to Hayes Carll's original, as they exude a warmth missing from the gruffness of his version. Only Razzy Bailey's "9,999,999 Tears" (a #3 hit for Dickey Lee in 1976) doesn't fit the vibe of project, and while Willis sings it wonderfully, the catchy sing-a-long aspects of the track take away from the album as a whole.
Robison takes the lead on many of the project's uptempo moments and adds a pleasing contrast to the seriousness of the songs sung by his wife. A fabulous mixture of acoustic guitar and fiddle prove the perfect backdrop for his take on Lawrence Shoberg's "Born To Roll," and he brings a calming easiness to his solely penned "Leavin," a road song with an appealing singer-songwriter vibe and Spanish-y acoustic guitar.
"But I Do," a co-write with Jedd Hughes, has an attractively plucky acoustic aura and playful vocals from the duo that match the vibrancy of the backing track. It's a sharp contrast from "Dreamin," a delicate acoustic ballad about budding love. I especially love the banjo on "Lifeline," and the way the fiddle and steel gently guide his somewhat sleepy vocal on Robert Earl Keen Jr's, "No Kinda Dancer," which would otherwise have been too slow for me to fully appreciate.
Before Cheater's Game I had begun to think that the heart and soul of country music had been lost, replaced by sound-a-like party anthems extenuated by an 80s rock mentality. Thank goodness Willis and Robison remain unaffected by the glitz of mainstream Nashville and put authentically raw and uncomplicated gems like this out into the world. Music in this vein isn't made much anymore, which makes albums like this such a treat. I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates and loves traditional country music.

The cold and damp is slowly seeping into my bones, undermining my pseudo-cheerful attitude, cradling me in the rich darkness of a rainy fall evening. Leaves scuttle across the street with hollow skeletal grace, streetlights cast an otherwordly, plasticine glow on the slick black pavement, and a lyrical, haunting echo of a forgotten wind-chime reverberates cold and sharp through the air. I live for nights like this. The whiskey kicks hot in my stomache, flooring my senses-- (I am not drunk, but emotionally levelled: cold and sane) and the thought of you pressed warm against my naked body leaves me shivering and alone. So goes the comfort of depression, blackness scuttling through my mind, like the leaves of yesterday moving quietly across the asphalt world to their graves.
An angel gets its wings Alone In the Dark Operation Popeye Santa's festive fear mongering wasn't going as well as he'd hoped, but the other Santa and I were enjoying the gingerbread.

Lehigh at UC Davis Tailgate Report 9/14/2019: Hip Hop Rivalries, Vegans At the Gates!, And More
If you're planning to go to this game, it means one of three things: 1) you live in California, 2) you have way more disposable income than me, or most likely, 3) both. Nonetheless, below I'll have some information on where the stadium is and where to tailgate.
If you can't make it to the game, it is available to watch or listen in a variety of ways. Note that the kickoff of this game is at 10:00 PM EDT, or 7:00 PDT, so it's one of the latest kickoffs in all of Division I football.
The local radio broadcast, which starts an hour before kickoff and sets the table for the game, can be caught on your AM dial on Fox Sports Radio AM 1230 or 1320. Matt Kerr, Matt Markus, and Steve Lomangino are on the call this Saturday. If you're on the East Coast, that means 9:00 PM EDT.
Through internet radio, the pregame, game, and postgame can be streamed through TuneIn or just simply going to the LVFoxSports.com webpage.
The best part about this game is that the video stream will be available via a free service called Pluto.TV. It is available from any web browser here, but where it really shines is if you have a Roku box (install and run the Pluto.TV app, and search for UC Davis) or Google Chromecast (on your phone, load up the Pluto.TV app and cast it to your 55 inch TV).
The LFN Approved way of catching the game is streaming the radio call of the game via Alexa, the internet or whatever, and broadcasting the video to your big-screen TV. (That, of course, and keeping lots of LFN's "Drink of the Week" handy.)

Restaurant Openings
Photographs by Zach Desart
1301 Newkirk Ave., at Argyle Rd., Ditmas Park, Brooklyn; 718-284-0005
When the Farm on Adderley opened in the culinary wasteland of Ditmas Park a year and a half ago, the neighborhood rejoiced. Things are looking even brighter on the food front now that the Farm's owners, Gary Jonas and his wife, Allison, have teamed up with Brooklyn gastropreneur Jim Mamary on their second venture, an unassuming French bistro named Pomme de Terre. The unswervingly Gallic menu, designed by Farm on Adderley chef Tom Kearney, sticks to standards like duck confit (pictured), skate in brown butter, tarte Tatin, and a croque monsieur. "Pretty straight- forward stuff," says Kearney. Still, churning your own butter, making your own charcuterie, and dry-aging your own beef speak to something a little more ambitious. And if the twice-cooked fries are as crisp and delicious as they are at the Farm, Pomme de Terre will do its name proud.
50 W. 8th St., nr. Macdougal St. 212-228-2373
Five years ago, University of Pennsylvania undergrad Seth Berkowitz launched an on-campus late-night cookies-and-milk delivery program that has since expanded to a dozen colleges nationwide, including NYU. Until now, oversized Insomnia Cookies baked in a commercial West Village kitchen have been a phone call or mouse click away only between the hours of 8 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. But this week, the company opens a bricks-and-mortar retail shop, still in cookie-run distance of its target demographic, but conveniently open during regular business hours to satisfy daytime cravings. Prices range from 90 cents for basic flavors like white chocolate macadamia and double chocolate chunk, to $1.25 for variously topped brownies, but the "deluxe" triple chocolate chunk and chocolate peanut butter cup will run you two bucks a pop.


Click image for larger view in Lightbox.
It's been a while since I posted a This Image post so I figured this one should be next, had a few people ask about it so let's get in to it. Also my blog has been quiet for a bit too long so this is pulling double duty.
Shot back in July 2012 in Liverpool's China Town it was a rainy, windy cold day with intermittent cloud cover and or open sky, after dodging the rain (none of my gear is 100% water proof) we walked over to Liverpool's China Town. Prior to this I had shot with flash for most of the shoot so wanted to change that.
As it goes it's a real simple image/head shot nothing really difficult going on technically here. Sometimes it's good to keep things simple so you can give your subject 100% of your attention.
I also tend to come back to simple head shots during most shoots at some point.
Available Light (Sky) diffused through a reflector.
Why 1/500th sec? Well it was windy enough to blow not only the reflector around but us as well at points so a faster shutter speed helps combat subject and camera movement as a result of the wind.
Why the 85mm lens? It's my best portrait lens, certainly the best lens in the bag for head shots using my DSLR's and I only had about 3-4ft of board to work with which meant I needed to compress perspective, otherwise we would start to see the edges of the background. Chose to shoot at F2.2 for a nice shallow depth of field, its not that the 85 is not sharp at F1.8 because it is but it suffered from CA (Chromatic Aberrations wide open) and F1.8 would not of held both eyes in good enough focus.
We came across this old board, they type that are used to cover windows in old buildings… nice and simple and has some texture. The light was coming from above (the sky) and whilst it was soft I still wanted to diffuse it some more to make it softer so in comes a 5in1 reflector used as a diffuser and held by Mark Boadey this was held just out of frame and above Karina to keep it nice and close for soft light.
Once the reflector was in place (held above Karina) I dialed in exposure and started shooting, directing and talking to Karina to get what I wanted. Karina has a natural smile and as great in front of the camera, working this close (as you can do for head shots) it can sometimes be intimidating for your subject but Karina handled this well.
I am happy with the exposure and framing (I like tight head shots) I like the pose, light and connection with camera... But I wish I had stopped down to F2.8/3.2 and gone to ISO 200/250… F stop to gain more depth of field to keep the left eye in better focus and the ISO jump would have been needed to maintain a fast shutter speed. Also would like to tweak colour a tad but my Lightroom Catalogs are being worked on at the moment… colour is not far off but a slight tweak is needed to my eye (it was processed just before I purchased my monitor calibrator).
Looking back at his makes me want to grab my 5D2 and the 85 and go shoot some natural light portraits/headshots. Anyone need some portraits?
I went in to Manchester this weekend to shoot some street again with the X100, still getting to know that camera. I was not really getting much and felt terrible all day but I did come away with some images.
This image below is by far my favourite Image from the day. The two gents in it are my good friends Kev Pack and Mark Boadey. I like the symmetry and contrast and the fact they are looking up and she.. Well the statue is looking down.
It was shot ISO 3200 so its grainy but in a good way. Actually quite like the grain the X100 produces so removed any noise reduction applied in lightroom before export.
I am still not feeling great so will blog the rest of the days images some other time.
Another frame for my #HrdLight project. Taken at a local studio.
2 Light used in this. Key light is a Bowens studio head with a 30 Degree Grid boomed over head (love that position) and the background light had a bare reflector and red gel.
Jess (Sevensin) was great to work with and really suited this type of light, I asked Jess for a strong symmetrical pose.. hands on hips (use this allot) to create shapes/symmetry in the frame.
A larger version of this image can been seen in the Gallery for this project.
Really enjoyed this shoot and will be looking in to Steam Punk some more in 2013.

The Iranian parliament, Majlis, today voted 171 to 36 to investigate the country's central bank over its response to last year's currency crisis. The value of rial against the U.S. dollar plummeted in the last year as sanctions against the Central Bank of Iran and limitations on Iran oil exports started going into effect. The rial ended up losing more than half it value against dollar in 2012.
Parliamentarians have accused the central bank of mishandling the currency's decline, including accusations that it did not provide the market with enough dollars to meet demand.
The investigation will also look into how the central bank manages Iran's money market, sets interest and loan facility rates, and allocates currency for imported goods, Alipour told Iran's parliamentary news agency ICANA.
It's no secret and very simple.The so called "parliamentarians" need look no further, and ask their boss of bosses in the mafia theocracy about all the failures of the Islamist regime.

Have you ever wondered what the animals really get up to after closing time at the zoo?
Strutting their stuff, filling their faces with street food and getting their faces painted into other animals…Ok, this may just be the visitors at the zoo but you catch my drift.
ZSL were back with their #SunsetSafari, enabling visitors to tuck into street food, go crazy with the face paint and watch the setting sun cast an orange glow over the animals.
I was delighted to be invited back to my beloved Whipsnade Zoo to enjoy this experience for myself. The Sunset Safari at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is an event I had always wanted to attend and I couldn't wait to see the animals at night.
Greeted by stilt-wearing zebras, visitors were given their maps with the list of talks and run down of entertainment for the evening before being given the opportunity to explore.
This unique sunset safari experience provides fun for all the family, with a schedule for feeds and fascinating talks giving insight into each animals' behaviour.
The self-guided sunset safari enables you to see the animals at your own pace and plan your evening. Ensuring we blended in with the wild animals, it was only fair we got our faces painted, much to Adam's dismay!
Cue a photo of my purple, sparkly cheetah-inspired print and Adam's tiger print, which began as a giraffe print until Tyler (ZSL face painter) realised his face was too brown, following our recent holiday to Croatia! Thanks to Tyler and Zoe Roberts for bringing out our wild side at the Sunset Safari.
All set, we began our tour of the zoo with the intention to see the majority of the animals before the sun went down, culminating in a stunning view over Dunstable Downs at the penguin enclosure.
If you haven't been to the Downs before, the view is breathtaking and it is the perfect backdrop for the on-site safari lodges at Whipsnade Zoo.
Back at Base Camp, we were spoilt for choice food-wise with Mexican, Thai, burgers, pizza and pancakes available. We chose pizza and sat on a giant bean bag, sipping our wine and beer as we watched the flamingo dancers and street artists.
It really was the perfect evening, seeing the animals at dusk and soaking up the atmosphere.
I even wore my elephant necklace and striped trousers, really wild I know!
Though, low and behold, Oasis are collaborating with ZSL on a brand new 'Wonder of Wildlife' collection, therefore I will have to visit the zoo wearing one of their garments on my next trip! Shop the collection by clicking here.
Adam and I hope to attend again soon and bring our picnic hamper along with us, as we loved taking a picnic to Stratford-upon-Avon, where we recently got engaged. With stunning views like this at Whipsnade Zoo who can resist?!
I can't recommend the Sunset Safari at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo enough, it really is an incredible way to view the animals at dusk and watch all the monkey business!


The Outreach team led by Rev. John Harrison went to Akatsi, South Volta Region on 15th April, 2013. The purpose for the mission was in two folds: to evangelize and help Pastor Dotse's Church with revival programs. The visit should have taken place in the first quarter but due to unforeseen delay from Pastor Dotse.
though they go to church all right, yet their belief in the idol practice is also quite open.
The village the team went to is Monome where Ps. Dotse has one of the branches. As their custom demands, they were introduced to the chief, Togbi Chargli, and his kin's men in the area and their missions were spelt out to them. The help of an interpreter did this. He gladly received the word of God and urged the team to be regular with their missionary duties.
One area visited was a fetish home. To their surprise, some herbs with a live chicken were being boiled. An advantage was taken and the gospel preached to them. Out of 7 people, 3 gave their lives to Christ. One on one evangelism was conducted as well.
There is one woman whose husband was a fetish priest. The gospel was brought to their home and gladly received Jesus as Lord and saviour with the daughter. She told team her husband was allegedly claimed to be very powerful in idol practice. The people used to fear him for that but one night he died in bed. Hearing the gospel and some miracles that took place in the name of Jesus Christ, confessed: "only the power of Jesus Christ could save her and the family".
The team held revival programs at Living Word Household Ministry. The two nights brought revival to the church and people also urging them to be frequent with their visits. Rev. Dotse encouraged them to come back because they do not normally attend church activities on market days yet the attendance for the two days was very impressive.
We preached to other people at the evening program services held at rev. Dotse's church. The hand of God moved powerfully during these services.

Q: Why can't my Django root url-conf find my app module? I'm wondering if someone can help me. I am looking to restructure a new django project, to represent the below:
-repository/
       -config/
           -asgi.py
           -settings.py
           -urls.py
           -wsgi.py
           -__init__.py
       -project root/
           -app_1/
               -admin.py
               -apps.py
               -models.py
               -tests.py
               -urls.py
               -views.py
               -__init__.py
           -app_2/
               -...
           -app_3/
               -...
           -migrations/
               -__init__.py
           -static/
           -templates/
       -docs/
       -manage.py

I have tried to implement this so far by appending the below lines to the settings.py file:
# This is the <repository root>
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent

# This is the <project repository>
PROJECT_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'project'

MEDIA_ROOT = PROJECT_ROOT / 'media'

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/static-files/
STATIC_ROOT = PROJECT_ROOT / 'static_root'
STATIC_URL = PROJECT_ROOT / 'static'

ROOT_URLCONF = 'config.urls'

Templates = [{ ...
'DIRS': [PROJECT_ROOT / 'templates'],
... }]

In the installed apps I have to specify '.app1' vs traditionally just 'app1'. I amended the manage.py,wsgi.py,asgi.py file etc to point to the settings file.
However...
When I try to include() an app specific urlconf in the config root urlconf using the below:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
import project.app1

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('app1/', include('app1.urls', namespace='app1'))
]

it says

"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'app1'"

Please can someone advise if i am missing a step in this restructue and/or if i'm missing something in the url conf?

A: Add app1 in your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py

A: You add some subdirectory (project_root) to your app without add __init__.py. Django can't found your app1 path.
Try to register subdirectory to your Django path in settings.py
import sys
sys.path.append(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'project_root'))

Suggestion: Do not use whitespace to your Django module/directory

Province kicks off Aboriginal housing effort
It's federal jurisdiction, but enough was enough for B.C. premier John Horgan.
Frank Peebles
He stood in the great hall of the Prince George Native Friendship Centre on Monday and announced that the provincial government would invest $550 million to provide new on- and off-reserve housing for Aboriginal people in need of a home.
That's typically the responsibility of Ottawa, but Victoria felt it was an important step to take. The program is designed to construct more than 1,700 homes in the next 10 years across B.C., depending on priorities brought forth by public dialogue and stakeholder feedback.
Horgan refrained from scolding the federal government, and instead talked about how this was but one effort he hoped the federal government would soon join, to give Aboriginal housing the full boost it needed.
"This will be unprecedented," Horgan said. "Historically there has been a 'that's not my responsibility' (attitude) coming from governments when housing was called for. We as a government are tired of that and the people of the province are tired of that... The status quo was no longer acceptable and we had to start doing some extraordinary things."
Minister of Municipal Affairs & Housing Selina Robinson was also on hand at the announcement. She said that catching up on housing shortfalls of the past was an important aspect of present reconciliation efforts.
"The housing situation that's facing Indigenous people in British Columbia is absolutely unacceptable," Robinson said. "In fact we know that Indigenous people are overwhelmingly over-represented in the homeless population right across the province. And it makes no difference if the need is on-reserve or off-reserve, it is incumbent on us as a government to be there to help British Columbians when they need it. Regardless of who has jurisdiction, it is the right thing to do."
A third minister was also on hand. Scott Fraser, Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, said that it didn't ultimately matter which level of government made the investment, since the taxpayer to the provincial coffer is the same as the taxpayer to the federal coffer. What did matter was getting a roof over the head of people who could then base a productive life for themselves and their families.
"Addressing all types of poverty saves the taxpayer money," he told The Citizen. "It's not just the right thing to do, whether it's housing or homelessness or any form of poverty. Addressing these issues is a good investment in people and a good investment for the taxpayer. (Regardless of which government department makes the move) it is good for the taxpayer."
The government contingent then departed, guided by local Aboriginal leaders, for a tour of some reserves in the Prince George and Fort St. James areas in particular need of new homes.

Q: Threejs: glb file reflect the environment but not itself In threejs, I successfully import and display a glb file of a house (the house has two floors and various objects on each floor, among which chairs, some tables, a kitchen etc, such as a real house). My problem is that I am able to make the house and its objects reflect the environmental light but I am not able to make the objects of the house reflect themselves. My ultimate goal would be to implement some real time ray-tracing, but at this point I would be happy to only generate some real time reflections which in addition to the environmental light also reflect the other objects of the house. Same with shadows.
I have not found anything online about it this type of reflections. Does anyone know a good place where to start? Or if you have faced a similar challange, how did you solve it?

A: You'll need to use a CubeCamera to render the scene with the environment including the objects to be in the reflection. Then you pass that resulting texture to the .envMap property to the object(s) that you want to show those reflections. The only problem with this is that if you have many objects that show other objects in the reflections, you'll need a huge amount of cubeCamera renders, each one from the position of that object.
See this working demo, it only captures one reflection pass as I described above, from the position of the sphere. You can kind of see the knot has a reflection of itself, which isn't realistic, but it isn't very noticeable. It's a tradeoff.
You could also copy the mirror demo if you only have a few planes that act as mirrors.

Pearl and Unident partner to bring AI dental pathology detection to the Nordic markets
Pearl, the leader in artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for efficiency, accuracy, and consistency in dental care, and Unident, the leading imaging technology and digital dental care distributor in the Nordic region, have partnered to market Pearl's AI dental radiology solutions Second Opinion® and Practice Intelligence®, integrated into the workflow of Unident's popular Onepix® imaging software, and as standalone solutions.
The software integration is the first of its kind available to patients and practitioners in the Nordic market, bringing the full range of benefits of AI-assisted clinical care to a practitioner cohort that, in other aspects of dental care, has established itself as among the most tech-forward in the world.
"Our work with Unident is the start of a new era of dental technology in the Nordic region," said Ophir Tanz, chief executive officer and founder of Pearl. "Offering our dental AI technologies through Unident and integrated with Onepix® gives dentists the most advanced imaging toolset available. We look forward to officially launching this collaboration and seeing the broad reaching benefits for dentistry in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland."
Pearl's Second Opinion® software provides AI detection assistance for an array of conditions, which include carries, bone loss and periapical radiolucency and among others –giving practitioners a more powerful lens through which to view radiographs. It will be fully integrated into Unident's Onepix® imaging software, enabling dentists to bring AI to bear in their clinical workflow in real-time.
Integral AI pathology detection is the next logical step for dental imaging, explained Tanz: "The doctors who employ it will be able to derive better, more consistent insights from dental imagery, allowing them to deliver higher quality and more standardized care for patients."
Unident is also offering Second Opinion® to dental practitioners as a standalone solution to allow the dental industry at large to enjoy the benefits of AI-assisted radiology.
"One of our main goals has always been to ensure that dentists are able to focus solely on providing the best possible patient care and not worry about the intricacies of technology," said Carola Sturesson, chief product officer of Unident. "Through our partnership with Pearl, we're helping those in the industry embrace the future of dentistry and incorporate the most innovative solutions in order to streamline and improve their practices."
To that end, Unident will also be introducing Pearl's Practice Intelligence® AI clinical performance solution to Nordic dentistry. Applying AI radiologic analysis in conjunction with patient treatment data, Practice Intelligence® delivers an array of actionable patient care insights that facilitate efficiencies in clinical operations and enable practices to identify and schedule additional necessary treatment.
The Pearl-Unident partnership is the latest in a series of global developments for Pearl, which has in recent months received clearances in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe for its novel dental AI technologies.
