New York Times (June 20, 2010): Hallucinations in Hospital Pose Risk to the Elderly
No one who knows Justin Kaplan would ever have expected this. A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian with a razor intellect, Mr. Kaplan, 84, became profoundly delirious while hospitalized for pneumonia last year. For hours in the hospital, he said, he imagine despotic aliens, and he struck a nurse and threatened to kill his wife and daughter.
"Thousands of tiny little creatures," he said, "some on horseback, waving arms, carrying weapons like some grand Renaissance battle," were trying to turn people "into zombies." Their leader was a woman "with no mouth but a very precisely cut hole in her throat."
Attacking the group's "television production studio," Mr. Kaplan fell from his hospital bed, cutting himself and "sliding across the floor on my own blood," he said. The hospital called security because "a nurse was trying to restrain me and I repaid her with a kick."
Mr. Kaplan's hallucinations lifted as doctors treated his pneumonia. But hospitals say many patients are experiencing such inexplicable disorientating episodes. Doctors call it "hospital delirium" and are increasingly trying to prevent or treat it.
Disproportionately affecting older people, a rapidly growing share of patients, hospital delirium affects about one-third of patients over 70, and a greater percentage of intensive-care postsurgical patients, the American Geriatrics Society estimates.

A guided anti-tank missile attack is a missile system that can be directed or directed spontaneously after launch from the mechanism/system in which it is located. These systems can destroy the armor of tanks and destroy their electronic systems thanks to the warheads and ammunition features they carry. Guided anti-tank missiles are optically tracked and guided to the target. In self-directed systems, infrared marking, laser targeting, radio signals can perform attacks without optical sight tracking. These missile systems are used from air to land and from land to land. In addition, guided anti-tank missiles carry dual attack headers in response to the tanks ' evolving armor. In this way, the first title eliminates the additional armor, and the second title affects the actual armor.

Language Policy Victory for Open Stellenbosch!
“The doors of learning and culture shall be opened to all” The Language Policy Has Fallen. For the last year Open Stellenbosch has been campaigning for equal access to education at Stellenbosch University. We have taken up a struggle that began in 1976 and that black students in this country have waged since that time. We have drawn attention to how Stellenbosch University, the birthplace of the ideology of apartheid, has preserved white supremacy through discriminatory policies and practices. We have called for the language policy at the university to be rethought in order to make the institution accessible and welcoming to all who study and work there. Today, after many months of staged interventions by Open Stellenbosch, and particularly after debates and consultation with us, management announced the university’s agreement to the resolution made by Open Stellenbosch. That is, from the beginning of the 2016 academic year, English will be the primary medium of instruction at Stellenbosch University! In addition, English will also be the primary mode of communication for the official business of the university. Moreover, management has agreed to our demand to table this decision at the next Council meeting, to be adopted as the official position of the university from here on out. The radical change from instrumentalising Afrikaans as the primary tool for oppression and exclusion, to adopting a language shared by all as the official language, is a significant victory in this struggle for access to education and for social justice in this country. It is also the first step to undoing the cultural monolith that is Stellenbosch, with its excess baggage from apartheid. The university primarily continues to attract historically privileged members of society, in a post-apartheid context, and has remained complicit with structures that perpetuate injustice and racial discord. This is related to the existing institutional culture, which is insensitive to the social manifestations of language and to the importance of transformation as well as the overall project of the de-privatization of education. Although we note with great concern how the Rector, his management team as well as Council, have been uncooperative with respects to transformation and addressing the continuing hegemony of Afrikaner culture, we nevertheless acknowledge and commend the ultimate gestures that lead to this agreement. We celebrate this victory and at the same time we remember those who died for this to become possible in the long years of struggle against apartheid. In particular we remember the students of 1976. Many of the students who were protesting then are workers today, and we stand in solidarity with their struggle to earn a living wage and for their children to have access to the education they were denied. Sadly, the announcement that the language policy at Stellenbosch University has fallen comes in the wake of violent responses to ongoing protests at campuses across the country for fees to fall and for outsourcing to end. Open Stellenbosch stand in solidarity with the ongoing protestors of#UJfeesmustfall & #UWCFeesMustFall and urge their Vice Chancellor’s and management bodies to engage the students and end the current tension and violence on campus. Last night we were witness to how the situation at UWC escalated as a result of the presence of large numbers of heavily armed police officers and private security guards. The situation could have been defused had the Vice Chancellor elected to employ dialogue rather than the threat of violence. For weeks students have been demonstrating and calling for the management of the University to engage with them in open discussions. Instead there have been a number of people injured as a result of the insidious collusion between the state and university machinery, and many students have been traumatised by the violence of the police. A number of students were forced to flee their residences. Among those injured was a security guard who was allegedly assaulted by five students. We condemn the use of violence and call on our comrades to continue to demonstrate peacefully to achieve our goals. At the same time, however, it is critical to draw attention to the conditions that caused this violence. Critics have been quick to accuse students of bringing violence upon themselves. This is a misreading of the situation at UWC and at campuses across the country. Peaceful protest has been criminalised and legitimate demonstrations have been policed and shut down. The right to peaceful protest must be protected and its practices must be encouraged rather than closed down. When legitimate protest is silenced and dissent is met with riot police and the SAPS Tactical Response Unit, it is unsurprising that unarmed protestors will feel threatened. It is difficult to understand the actions of those in positions of leadership at universities who have put their students in harm’s way. So while we celebrate the hard won victory of the fall of the language policy, we must emphasise our refusal to be taken in by victories against the backdrop of these vexed socio-economic and political conditions. #IAmNotStellenbosch, so the fight against racism and white supremacy continues! #FeesHaveNotFallen, so the struggle for free quality education continues! #UWCShutDown #FeesMustFall #EndOutsourcing Amandla!

KÄLAD is a symphonic metal band from Mexico, formed and debuted in 2020. The quartet released “Sail Away“, their first single on the eve of the pandemic, followed by “Kalad” single which reached the rankings for the Top 100 Mexican Metal favorites. These two, previously mentioned tracks set a classic symphonic metal style accompanied by a dense atmosphere – here’s our interview with the lead singer (who’s actually not just very talented, but also a super nice person), Julieta Ruiseco.
KÄLAD was born exactly when lockout hit Mexico in 2020, back then we had a heart full of hope and expectations with the release of our first single “Sail Away”, however, the idea of forming the band came when Mario and I played together for the first time. I was a studio singer and he was the guitar player of a power metal band which was the opening act for Stravaganzza, a rock metal band from Spain. I was invited by Mario’s band to be part of the choir for the concert and that’s when he decided to invite me to form a metal band, and of course, I had no project at the time, so I said yes! That’s the day we started thinking about names, concepts, and the recording of our first single.
Behind the name:
Most people ask this and we understand, we’re from Mexico and the name is not even in Spanish! (laughs) Well, so KÄLAD means “Pisces” in Estonian. Mario and I share the same zodiac sign which is Pisces, and, if you believe a bit in astrology you know that Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions… Well, that’s Mario and me! (laughs) we cannot be more opposite! We are quite different but at the same time, we have the same objective, so, when we realized we share the same zodiac sign, it kind of made sense we name the band Pisces, and in Estonian sounds badass! We guess… (laughs)
As I told you in the previous question, Mario and I are complete opposites, and Gus, who is the other guitarist and composer of KÄLAD, well, let’s say we always agree to disagree, we’re so different from each other, however, that enriches the concept quite a lot because our sources of inspiration come from so many different bands and artists, nevertheless, we have learned to respect each other’s tastes, and agreed to be a great symphonic metal band who likes to do things and compose music the best we can. We get inspired by music from old-school symphonic metal bands such as Nightwish, to new stuff like Spiritbox.
At first, it was only me composing the songs with the help of our producer, Roy Cantu. I mean, I am a singer, not a composer, so I needed a lot of help, Roy is a fantastic composer and he has always believed in us. A year later, when Gus joined the band, we realized what a genius mind he has for music, so we started to let his genius mind free to compose, so, along with the music which is basically done by him, structured by Mario, and orchestrated by Roy, I write the melodies and lyrics.
When KÄLAD was born under the Pisces name, we agreed that all songs would be talking about the beauty of life and its adversities, human nature experiencing the love and rebirth of the spirit also despite the adversities, all this in an ocean-y metaphorical language, because, you know… fish. We decided to speak about these topics because we as humans never have it easy in life, art is how we cope with these experiences.
We all have our share of funny stories, especially while composing and rehearsing, being together is never boring, but I know the best anecdotes are yet to come, as we are starting touring pretty soon, first in our own beloved country Mexico, and then internationally, so stay tuned and follow us in all our social media sites as @kaladmx on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to be featured on Metal Meter, thank you to all the viewers who took the time to read about us, please go check out our music, you will not regret it. We appreciate all your support and we hope to see you soon on tour!

This content was written and submitted by the supplier. It has only been modified to comply with this publication’s space and style. Motorized Actuator
Thomson’s Electrak XD linear actuator offers a high-power, zero-maintenance alternative that is simpler, cleaner and more controllable than hydraulic alternatives. In addition to the capabilities mentioned above, the new actuator features or has options for:
• Shock dampening to protect electromechanical components from impacts common on warehouse and factory floors as well as other mobile applications in which hydraulics are traditionally used.
• Manual brake release and override, which enable backdrive under load and can be valuable for machine maintenance or situations where emergency lowering is required or beneficial.
• Up to 1200 mm of stroke, which is 20% more than comparably priced hydraulic cylinder options.
• Regen capability, which reduces energy consumption in battery-powered, industrial applications by enabling motor torque to charge the battery. Regen also extends the time between charges, allowing more movements from a single charge.
• Brushless motor technology, which enables high duty cycle by virtually eliminating wear on motor components. Brushless technology also contributes to the Electrak XD’s high controllability.
• Complementing these performance benefits is onboard intelligence that enables ease of use and programmability far greater than hydraulic systems can provide. The electronics also enable control and diagnostics through real-time position feedback, force feedback and control, and programmable end-of-stroke limits. Designers can implement applications over a CANopen® or SAE J1939 CAN bus network, which, among other things, simplifies synchronization of multiple actuators.
Linear Actuator With Servo Motor • Electrak XD linear actuators are available immediately as a compact, fully integrated unit, including the motor, drive, IP-rated housing, control architecture, diagnostic features and more. The end result is a plug and play actuator that saves the designer money and time.


Crash was not a big surprise or was it the biggest upset in Acadamy history. For once the acadamy voted Best Picture to a film that truly deserved it. I am a gay man and from the day the nomintaions came out I said Crash was the best film I had seen last year. Had I been an acadamy voter, I would have voted the way all the awards went last night except for Best Supporting Actress. I felt Catherine Keener was much better than Rachel Weiz.
Well, it was certainly a surprise to me and to everybody else who was watching it at our little â€œOscar partyâ€. Let’s face it, it was truly a handicapper from the start:
(1) its release date (May 8, 2005) – it barely made it in â€œunder the wireâ€ as an eligible candidate;
(2) by industry standards, this movie was already â€œold newsâ€ â€" when the nominees were announced, it had already been released on home video for several months (since September 6, 2005), whereas other nominees were just beginning wide theatrical release and are still in theaters today (and are only now being released on home video â€" a smart â€œpost-Oscarâ€ marketing move);
(3) a low-budget ($6.5M) and low-profile film, from a Hollywood production and publicity standpoint (and yet it did a respectable $55M box office when compared with Brokeback Mountainâ€™s current $79M take, which will undoubtedly continue to go higher).
Looking at the nominees across all categories, you could say that the playing field was â€œloadedâ€. Three out of the biggest contenders focused on themes and characters that were either gay (â€œBrokeback Mountainâ€, â€œCapoteâ€) or trans-gendered (Transamerica). Perhaps it was more gayness than even Hollywood could handle all at once.
Sorry to say, but in these â€œp.c.â€ times, it seems that excellence can also be a liability: “Brokeback Mountain” received SO much buzz, hype and critical acclaim (not to mention many other â€œbestâ€ awards – and deservedly so) that the Academy must have felt that a vote for it would have been perceived as an obvious “no-brainer” pressure bow to popular consensus. From an image standpoint, they must have felt it better to deliberately â€œgo against the grainâ€, shock everyone, pick an underdog and err on the side of â€œpolitical correctnessâ€ – the Academy at its â€œliberalâ€ best: â€œedgyâ€ and at the same time â€œsafeâ€.
Ironic (and disappointing) actually, because so much of America still has a hard time accepting or acknowledging issues of sexual orientation or identity on ANY level, and being gay or trans-gendered is ANYTHING but popular or mainstream. If the Academy REALLY wanted to make a genuine statement about â€œtoleranceâ€ on awards night, they could have stepped up to the plate and voted the way so many others have. Besides, donâ€™t they have ANY clue as to who Oscarâ€™s most loyal audience is???
Ah, thereâ€™s nothing like Academy Awards night â€" the second biggest gay national holiday (after Halloween, of course!) :–)
â€œAgendaâ€? Hmmâ€¦I never received a memo from the â€œhome officeâ€ about any agenda. I must be out of the loop!
As for â€œnormalizingâ€â€¦I didnâ€™t realize it was abnormal in the first place (the American Psychological Association recognized that 32 years ago).
“Brokeback Mountain” told a love story, plain and simple, without resorting to obvious clichÃ©s, â€œpreachy-nessâ€, â€œin your faceâ€ language, or sordid sex scenes (unlike so many other movies).
No need to strive for â€œshock valueâ€ – the screenplay and dramatic elements speak for themselves, allowing a variety of perspectives and dimensions to emerge. Undeniably, this was an â€œunconventionalâ€ love, given the time, setting and social climate the characters found themselves in (the characters themselves were not your â€œusualâ€ gay men – anything but stereotypical). Director Ang Lee and writers Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana did a masterful job of adapting Annie Proulxâ€™s short story for the big screen – the fact that they didnâ€™t â€œgay it upâ€ is precisely why I loved this film!
â€œLove is a force of nature.â€ – movie tagline
I never received my agenda either and I’m thoroughly out of the closet and have been for 35 years. I think someone has got the gay agenda confused with the straight agenda. Brokeback was made by straight people for a straight audience. It’s theme (according to the straight author of the story) is homophobia in rural America. We see this form of psychological terrorism inflicted on Ennis at a young age and the repressed and fearful person that Ennis turns into. We see that it destroys his marriage— and the love of his life. Rural America (and the big cities for that matter) can still be a very dangerous place for gay people and this is not 1963. The high profile murder of Matthew Sheppard comes to mind. My own personal opinion is that I thought Brokeback was a far superior film to Crash although I liked it also. The fact that it didn’t really have an agenda is one of the reasons the film has done well in all it’s bookings nationwide and will probably have a huge dvd audience next month when it comes out again. Might not have won best picture but I think Brokeback, as a story and a film, will have a long life.
I posted the first comment. I just knew some right wing idot (gee is this Bush posting something under a false name he lies about everything else)would start up on the gay issue. Nobody pushed Brokeback down your throat or anybody elses. I think the acadamy showed they are not hoomophobic or prejudice by awarding both films.
All rights groups like the Christian, ACLU groups all fight towrd getting people to accept what they believe. People should accept what they want.
What I do believe is that these organizations are trying to advocate fair and equal treatment in housing, accommodations, and the workplace, and protection under the law from those that try to deny these rights (and in a modern democratic society, these are basic rights, not privileges). Acceptance is a pipe dream, because it is ultimately a personal choice that cannot be decided or regulated by someone else, and Iâ€™m not sure what a â€œnormalâ€ lifestyle is, because normalcy has no universal definition. However, if oneâ€™s daily lifestyle means living in fear of losing oneâ€™s job, being denied insurance benefits, or having the tar beaten out of them in public, then compared to the rest of society (i.e. the â€œmajorityâ€), I would have to say that it is definitely not â€œnormalâ€.
All gay people should NOT expect or deserve special treatment, just fair treatment. All gay people should NOT expect everyone to like them, but should expect others to let them live without fear or harm.
But that was not your original point. You seemed to be saying that you are tired of the movies (and mass media) being used as a vehicle of sorts to push some specialized homosexual â€œagendaâ€ (or dare I say â€œpropagandaâ€) of â€œnormalcyâ€ to mainstream society, and that gay rights groups play an influential role in this. Actually, if one watches or reads the news regularly, one would probably conclude that it is the rest of societyâ€™s behavior that needs to be â€œnormalizedâ€ first in order for ANYBODY to get along.
We all have choices, and you will find many more movies out there that do NOT make it a point of advocating tolerance towards gays or promoting â€œthe gay lifestyleâ€ ** anymore than they do so for blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Jews or women, and you are more than welcome to view those movies, regardless of whether you are gay, straight, or anything in-between. If you or I feel that we are being relentlessly â€œassaultedâ€ by messages with the words â€œbigot, â€œracistâ€ or â€œdiscriminationâ€, we have the right to say so, but we also have the right to ignore those messages by changing the channel, turning the page, ignoring the movie, or simply walking away. Democracy may not be perfect, but at least we have it.
** Iâ€™ve always found humor in people using this phrase, since those same people have yet to define â€œthe straight lifestyle.â€
Just like straights, there are some gay people who need to synchronize the speed of their mouths (and keyboards) with their brains.
George W. Bush, although not exactly the sharpest tack on the board, really has nothing to do with this. However, with regards to the worldâ€™s problems, he has far exceeded his personal quota.
Are you serious? Perhaps you have never seen â€¦â€Pattonâ€, â€œTora!Tora!Tora!â€, â€œFull Metal Jacketâ€, â€œApocalypse Nowâ€, â€œPlatoonâ€, â€œThe Deer Hunterâ€, â€œGood Morning, Vietnamâ€, â€œGloryâ€, â€œThe Tuskegee Airmenâ€, â€œBlack Hawk Downâ€, â€œSaving Private Ryanâ€, â€œPearl Harborâ€â€¦not to mention oldies like “All Quiet on the Western Front”, “Bridge On the River Kwaiâ€, â€œStalag 17â€, â€œThe Great Escapeâ€ and every John Wayne, Henry Fonda or John Ford WWII movie ever made. Just go to IMDb.com and search under the genre â€œwarâ€ â€” I think youâ€™ll find something from the 5,464 titles listed there.
Correct me if Iâ€™m wrong, but if I follow your â€œa tit for a tatâ€ train-of-logic, I suppose then that Hollywood would have to produce approximately 5,464 gay-themed movies, just to make the playing field â€œevenâ€. Calling all gay actors! (Shouldnâ€™t be any problem finding too many of those.)

Others know that we give them too much, they own half of Australia, there are already 1,300 serving them in the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, we are dividing the nation, why should they get…? The former are arguments of the social media readers. Reasoning with, having negated their arguments, their next sentence is a repeat of the same statement you think that you have reasoned away!
Some people agree and buy YES badges and take corflutes to display.
The Uluru Statement from the Heart and the First Nations people are my inspiration. I try to emulate their gentle way of life, balance and harmony with Country. "...a spiritual life; the ancestral tie between land ... and the people who were born therefrom, remain attached thereto and must one day return thither ...possessed the land for sixty millennia and this sacred link disappears from world history in ...the last two hundred years?
Tragically the federal opposition is treating the heartfelt call to unity as a political contest; an opportunity to confuse and frighten the Australian public with obfuscations and lies.

Wiltshire Police ran the World of Work (WoW) scheme in Swindon, Salisbury and Melksham during recent weeks. Key Stage 4 students joined in a week of activities to get a taste of the police service.
Students learned there is more to keeping Wiltshire and Swindon’s communities safe than wearing a uniform and patrolling the streets.
The students gained a better understanding of the different career opportunities the police service offers. From constables and detectives to mechanics, managers and more, the different roles to suit a variety of skills.
PCSO Alan Aldersley-Byrne, Schools and Youth Liaison Supervisor said; “Due to the nature of modern day policing it is not possible to have students work alongside front line officers or officers in support roles dealing with members of the public or sensitive issues.
Chief Constable Kier Pritchard said: ” The scale of opportunities is very wide and diverse. I encourage students looking for work experience to consider visiting Wiltshire Police to get a taste of all aspects of police work – exciting, challenging, rewarding, interesting and incredibly fulfilling. Even if you choose another career, the life skills and experience you get will stand you in good stead for your future.”
“It was great seeing an insight into the workings of Custody and got to see that officers are human beings too.”
Students currently in Key Stage 4 who want to learn more about careers in the police service, are urged to join the World of Work. Opportunities to take part in next year’s World of Work are on the Wiltshire Police website and applications are accepted from September.

Moody, Sandra A. and Newsham, Kevin K. and Ayres, Peter G. and Paul, Nigel D. (1999) Variation in the responses of litter and phylloplane fungi to UV-B radiation. Mycological Research, 103 (11). pp. 1469-1477.Full text not available from this repository.
The development of 12 litter and seven phylloplane fungal species was examined from spore germination to colony sporulation across a series of environmentally relevant UV-B doses. For the litter fungi all aspects of fungal development and morphology studied were affected. On the basis of the responses of mycelial extension rate and spore germination to increasing UV-B, the 12 litter fungi were divided into two groups. Group A (Aspergillus fumigatus, Penicillium hordei, P. janczewskii, P. spinulosum and P. purpurogenum) were sensitive to UV-B, with the predicted effects of a 15% ozone depletion resulting in 22–44% reductions in spore germination. Mycelial extension rate on the agar surface was similarly affected, with reductions ranging from 15 to 25%. In contrast group B (Mucor hiemalis, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Leptosphaeria coniothyrium, Trichoderma viride, Ulocladium consortiale, the Verticillium state of Nectria inventa and Marasmius androsaceus) were relatively insensitive to UV-B, with significant, but small, reductions in mycelial extension rate (< 5%) and spore germination (0–22%). Spore production in response to UV-B in the litter species was very variable, reductions ranging from 5% to complete inhibition. Only P. hordei showed a significant increase in spore production in response to UV-B dose. In contrast, in all seven phylloplane species, spore germination was unaffected by increasing dose. Mycelial extension rate was slightly (2–12%), but significantly, inhibited by UV-B for the four phylloplane fungi tested. The contrasting responses of phylloplane and litter fungi to UV-B are discussed along with the implications for resource capture by competing fungal species and the possible effects of UV-B on decomposition processes.

Hello! Long time – no post! I apologize for my unexpected two-week absence. I’ve not been well, but am on the mend and excited to get back to blogging and share some delicious new recipes. I have so many exciting meals planned! However, today I would like to share some healthy vegetarian lunch ideas with all of you. I suffer from a chronic medical condition that is normally controlled, but sometimes my health can go from good to bad in a matter of hours. In order to maintain my health with limited medication, I have been focusing on eating natural/unprocessed foods, trying to get proper sleep and start exercising more.
Generally speaking, I am really good at eating a very healthy breakfast and wholesome dinners. However, I’ve been slacking off when it comes to lunch. I’ve been buying a few too many processed microwave dinners or even skipping lunch all together! So, to make things easier for myself (and hopefully for my lovely readers), here are 30 fantastic healthy, vegetarian lunch ideas from some of my favourite blogs. Some of the recipes require a bit of advanced prep, but each recipe is simple and perfect for lunch. Each lunch options is packed with veggies, protein, and tons of fibre – everything you need to keep you full + energetic throughout the afternoon at work.
I’ll be back tomorrow with a new recipe post and some exciting news!

Just wanted to alert you that fish is not on the menu for vegetarians! Great ideas though!
Sorry-just realised that you haven’t put fish on here at all-the Tuna (not Tuna) sandwiches threw me!;)
Not a problem :) If I saw someone claiming tuna was vegetarian, I’d be concerned too!
This is absolutely awesome thanks for it. God bless you.

Coagulopathy and platelet disorders in critically ill patients.
Summary of "Coagulopathy and platelet disorders in critically ill patients."
Coagulation disorders are common among intensive care patients and may range from isolated thrombocytopenia or prolonged global clotting tests to complex defects, such as disseminated intravascular coagulation. There are many causes for deranged coagulation in critically ill patients and each of these underlying disorders may require specific therapeutic management. Hence, a proper differential diagnosis and the initiation of adequate (supportive) treatment strategies are crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients with coagulation abnormalities.

Blood Platelet Disorders
Disorders caused by abnormalities in platelet count or function.
A serotonin uptake inhibitor that is used as an antidepressive agent. It has been shown to be effective in patients with major depressive disorders and other subsets of depressive disorders. It is generally more useful in depressive disorders associated with insomnia and anxiety. This drug does not aggravate psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p309)
Blood Coagulation Disorders
Hemorrhagic and thrombotic disorders that occur as a consequence of abnormalities in blood coagulation due to a variety of factors such as COAGULATION PROTEIN DISORDERS; BLOOD PLATELET DISORDERS; BLOOD PROTEIN DISORDERS or nutritional conditions.
Gray Platelet Syndrome
A rare, inherited platelet disorder characterized by a selective deficiency in the number and contents of platelet alpha-granules. It is associated with THROMBOCYTOPENIA, enlarged platelets, and prolonged bleeding time.

Interview: Twin Atlantic
I recently interviewed Twin Atlantic for the recent issue of Audio Addict, the first of the current editorial team’s efforts. It looks fab and I can’t wait for more. Have a look at it here: http://issuu.com/audioaddict/docs/issue_21_300dpi_web_final/0
My interview is on page 22.


By Pat Harty
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Former Alabama offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor raised some eyebrows when he told reporters a few weeks ago that the Iowa coaches were supportive after he had struggled in a game this past season.
Proctor’s comments to the media caused concerns that Iowa might have violated rules on tampering, and that’s why Iowa Athletics is now in the process of self-reporting the potential violation.
Iowa Athletic Director Beth Goetz said after Thursday’s Presidential Committee on Athletics (PCA) meeting in Iowa City that Iowa recruiting director Tyler Barnes, who is the son-in-law of Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz, sent Proctor a text message after a loss to Texas in September telling Proctor to basically hang in there.
Proctor had allowed two sacks in Alabama’s 34-24 loss to Texas on September 9 in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Proctor has since transferred to Iowa in January and is now attending classes as a member of the Iowa football team.
Goetz was responding on Thursday to a question asked by Scott Dochterman from the Athletic.
She said it was important to report the text message from Barnes as a potential violation.
Proctor was attending an Iowa basketball game at Carver-Hawkeye Arena shortly after he announced his decision to transfer when he was interviewed by members of the Iowa media.
In one of the interviews Proctor said:
“No bridges were burned,” Proctor said in one of several interviews he did with the Iowa media that day. “That’s why it was so easy for me to pick them when I did enter the transfer portal because I had those relationships. Even when I was doing bad in the SEC, they hit me up and said, ‘We’re proud of you.”
Proctor, a former five-star recruit from Southeast Polk, started all 14 games at left tackle for Alabama as a true freshman last season.
However, he decided to transfer to Iowa shortly after Nick Saban announced that he was retiring as the Alabama head coach.
Proctor had initially committed to Iowa in high school, but then switched his commitment to Alabama shortly before the signing day in December 2022.
The 6-foot-7, 360-pound Proctor is expected to start at left tackle for Iowa next season.


Shehnaaz Gill has been off the radar ever since the untimely demise of Sidharth Shukla. The actress was spotted with his family earlier this month on the occasion of his birth anniversary. But as the Bigg Boss 13 contestant is heading towards a normal life, fans are getting to witness her bubbly side again. The latest appearance is making them happier than ever!
Pictures of Shehnaaz from her manager’s engagement party are going viral. The diva has even posed with celebrities like Kashmera Shah, Monalisa, Giorgia Andriani amongst others. There was something about her charismatic smile that fans have missed for so long and it was back on the rare occasion!
Shehnaaz Gill was dressed in a shimmery black one-piece. She paired her outfit with black strappy heels and minimal jewellery. She tied her hair in a low pony and opted for nude makeup.
In a viral video, Shehnaaz Gill could also be seen learning the steps and then dancing to the tunes of Zingaat with her friends. As soon as the pictures and video surfaced on the internet, Sidharth Shukla and Sana fans were happy to see their favourite getting out of their shell.
A Shehnaaz Gill fan took to Twitter and shared, “Mere Nona bache ko kisi ki nazar na Lage 🧿 #ShehnaazGill Aakhon main khushi ke aansu aa gaye itne dino ke baad khush dekh kar. Love you so much Shehnaaz please khush raho just like my strong Shehnaaz”
Another shared, “Morning like this>>>🥺❤🤞 Happy to see her stepping outside ,chilling and interacting with ppl. She is looking freaking hot 🔥🥵😍 Evil eyes off plz🧿🧿”
“no thoughts, just Shehnaaz Gill being happy and healthy,” a fan shared with glimpses from the event.
Well, we hope Shehnaaz continues to rise and shine the same way!
Stay tuned to Koimoi for more Television updates.

English Premier League leaders Liverpool are tipped to sign PSV forward Hirving Lozano in the coming winter transfer window which reopens in coming days.
The Reds are in need of a backup in the attack and have identified the Mexico international as the best fit for the club owing to his style of play and ability to score goals.
Hirving Lozano started this season on a high note and has been impressive so far to have deserved the interest from top European sides including Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
The 23-year-old is a major part of his PSV team and has contributed immensely since he joined the club in 2017 from Pachuca.
So far this season, Hirving Lozano has made 23 appearances across all competitions and has scored 13 goals in addition to 7 assists.
With a release clause of £40 million, Hirving Lozano’s contract with the Dutch club expires in 2023 but with the interests of these clubs, there are suggestions he would be leaving any time soon.
However, Liverpool are currently sitting on top in the Premier League table with four points ahead of second place Manchester City and they will be hoping to extend the lead in subsequent games so as to win their first major title in a long while.

E-mail Bill with your Claw Questions
Claw Revision Update
I've decided to rework my original claws to make them even more accurate than they were. Basically, after reviewing and scaling countless photos as well as getting some feedback from fellow builders I am in the process of making the following revisions:
- Increase the angle of the claw
- Make the claws slightly fatter
- Put in the “infamous” recesses on the inside of the claws
New claw flat patterns were created by studying studio blueprints, promo photos, and screen grabs. Flat patterns were put in 2d format in Autocad 2002. These 2d patterns wer manipulated in 3d space. The results were rendered and shown below in comparison to promo photos from various angles.
Outermost bend was not
smoothed, and recesses have not been added. These were done to validate the
flat patterns that were created for the new basswood master. Additonally,
some annomolies exist since all 4 pieces were originally hand sculpted
and vary slightly.

The internet is abuzz with reports of forced micro-chipping taking place in Clint, Texas. Dozens of families were said to be rounded up by American troops, and given the option of an RFID implant, or imprisonment for an indefinite amount of time.
These allegations first appeared on Twitter, and has exploded across the social media landscape. While some were skeptical of the accusations, others swore by the events, and had the RFID chips to prove it.
“Military personnel rounded up everyone on our street. They forced their way into the homes of people who wouldn’t open their doors. We were put on military trucks and drove to the old Hartwell Mall about ten miles from here. We were separated and put in holding cells based on our age and gender. We were then called 3 at a time to another room and given the option to have an RFID implant, or be imprisoned in the base for an unspecified amount of time. Some of the soldiers were arguing amongst themselves.. I could hear one of them saying, “this isn’t what I signed up for. I wanted to protect Americans, not imprison them…”, but the officer in charge reminded them that they have their orders, and if they’re not carried out then they would be thrown into prison themselves.”


Houston is seeing a surge of interest in inner Loop living, industry experts say.
Bucking the trend of suburban flight, more Houstonians are opting to spend money on location rather than space, said Jacob Sudhoff, CEO and founder of Houston-based Sudhoff Properties, which sells luxury homes inside the 610 Loop. Moreover, home seekers are looking for homes with higher-quality finishes and are willing to sacrifice space to be inside the Loop.
“Empty nesters and young professionals want to downsize into a lock and leave lifestyle,” he said. “They want to live in a better location — closer to the restaurants they like, the museums, theaters — and want things to be convenient. Today, it’s less about size, and it’s more about quality. Overall, people are realizing they don’t need to live in as much space as we used to.”
Developers are quick to jump on this trend. This week, demand for inner-Loop property shined through Houston-based Hines’ announcement that it acquired a 46-acre property inside the 610 Loop for a new gated residential development.
Plans for the project — Somerset Green at 6900 Old Katy Road — include about 500 three- and four-story single-family townhomes on small lots, as well as community spaces, such as parks and swimming pools.
Infrastructure development is expected to start early next year, followed by the first phase of home construction beginning late next year. Coventry Homes, Pelican Builders and Toll Brothers will be building in the first phase, and Preston Wood & Associates is the land planner for the community.
Hines did not comment on the price of the deal.

Tuberculosis: Let us end it together!
Get update on your WhatsApp
15 Feb 2022
Tuberculosis (TB) has haunted mankind since 400 BCE. It is a bacterial pulmonary (affecting lungs) and extra-pulmonary disease (affecting lymph nodes, brain, kidneys, etc.) which is highly contagious and fatal if not treated. Even though it is treatable and curable, it is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide.
‘TB knows no borders as it can affect anyone and everyone irrespective of their age, caste, religion, etc.’
What is the causative agent?
It is caused by a bacterium known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis which is an aerobic, acid-fast bacillus (based on Acid-fast staining technique), non-sporing and has slow growth rate. The cell membrane contains mycolic acid which gives it property of virulence. Other predisposing factors that contributes are presence of poverty, malnutrition, overcrowding and incomplete health care system.
There are two different types of TB:
(i) Active TB- people incubate the bacteria and display symptoms and can spread the disease.
(ii) Latent TB- people incubate the bacteria BUT do not show any symptoms and CANNOT spread the disease. But since the bacteria are present, it can be reversed to active TB anytime in their lifetime.
It is a worldwide spread disease. Today, half of the global cases are contributed by countries such as India, Russia and China. The prevalence rate now is 2 billion people which accounts for 1/4th of the world’s population and the incidence rate is 10 million. In 2019, globally 7.1 million people with TB were newly diagnosed and 1.4 million people succumbed to death. However, according to WHO reports in 2017, very few active cases are observed in developed countries such as UK and USA but with many people having latent TB.
How is it transmitted?
The bacteria are transmitted from person to person through air droplets expelled in air while sneezing, coughing, speaking or singing. The contraction of disease depends on several factors such as infectiousness of the TB patient (mild v/s severe), environment (open v/s closed), frequency of exposure (once v/s multiple times), duration of exposure, and the immune status of the exposed individual.
Signs and Symptoms to look out for:
Persistent cough and coughing up blood, fever, chest pain, chills, weight loss, night sweats, fatigue, no appetite.
Different Diagnostic Methods:
1. Mantoux Tuberculin skin test (TST)- tuberculin is injected into the forearm and waited for 48-72hrs. A wheal and flare reaction shows hypersensitivity. It is however not a fool-proof method and cannot distinguish between active and latent TB.
2. TB blood tests- detection of interferon gamma (cytokine) secreted by T cells which are involved in immunity.
3. Chest X-rays- for pulmonary TB. It may show infiltrates or cavities in lungs which can suspect TB.
4. Culture of sputum-TB is confirmed by culturing the sputum and detecting the presence of bacteria in the sample.
5. Sputum smear microscopy- Using acid-fast staining technique and then examining smears for acid-fast bacilli.
1st line drugs- Isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide, streptomycin.
2nd line drugs- Para-aminosalicylic acid, ethionamide, cycloserine, linezolid, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycosides
We can take certain measures stop the transmission of TB:
Vaccination: BCG vaccine is only vaccine available currently. It is extremely safe. Every child must take it in their infancy to develop immunity. School-based vaccination for those who missed it and Supplementary immunisation programmes for vaccination of close contacts of diagnosed TB individual should also be initiated.
Break the chain: Isolate the patient to avoid transmission from one adult to another.
Take your medicine timely: TB drugs should be taken exactly as prescribed by the health care provider.
Chemoprophylaxis: WHO recommends TB Preventive Treatment (TPT) for health workers and family members residing with patient.
TB education: Spread awareness on etiquettes to be followed by TB patients and community on how to identify case of TB and what should be done if detected.
Several Global plans by organisations such as WHO, CDC are in progress to control & eradicate TB globally. However, we all must come together and support them by detecting symptoms, taking treatment properly and necessary precautions to eradicate this disease!
It will be great, if you share your view on above write-up.

It was on September 20, 2017 that Hurricane Maria made landfall on Puerto Rico, causing havoc on the island. Most of the homes and businesses were without power and water. It was not only the worst natural disaster to ever hit Puerto Rico, but also the third-costliest tropical cyclone on record with a total of roughly $100 billion in damages. Sadly, 499 people alone died in Puerto Rico.
Over winter break I was lucky enough to visit my friends and family who had suffered from the catastrophe months before. As I was there I was able to notice how the beautiful island was slowly recovering. Less than half of the island did not have power when I arrived—that is about 1.5 million people struggling to do their daily routines. The current U.S. administration did not help the island as much as expected, leading to many people leaving their homes in Puerto Rico. More than 140,000 have left since the storm, most of them heading to Orlando, searching for safety.
“As Commander in Chief and the face of our nation, I feel as though President Donald Trump’s efforts to bring attention and necessary supplies to Puerto Rican people have not been sufficient,” sophomore Fabiola Rivera said.
However, 22,000 troops and 33 ships had arrived after it hit and about 9000 remain. The recovery efforts have been speeding up lately, increasing the number of people that have electricity. Now most of the cities and major towns have power, although there are some neighborhoods in rural areas in the dark, especially those in the mountains who need it the most.
Nevertheless, the destruction caused by the hurricane has given the island a new chance to explore different ways of acquiring energy. Companies like Tesla and Sonnen are seizing the opportunity and are constructing solar power microgrids on the island. They claim that this new arrangement will create a more resilient system in anticipation of bigger storms.
Since I was on the island, I was able to see the actual damage cause by the hurricane. Puerto Rico seemed to be doing pretty well considering the fact that the hurricane was three months ago. However, there were some places that I remembered visiting as a kid that were destroyed. For example, a famous pier in the Northwestern side of the island was mostly underwater.
On the other hand, among the fallen trees and the homes without roofs, I noticed something interesting: even though there were not any traffic lights working, the drivers were patient. They were slowing down at intersections and letting people go when it was there turn. I witnessed no crashes and it seemed as if the people understood what the others were going through, and took the hurricane as a way to band together in a time of need. It was no longer other people to help Puerto Ricans, it was Puerto Ricans helping Puerto Ricans.


H&M, the Swedish clothing retail giant, has vowed to become greener and more sustainable when it comes to the water it uses to make its clothes.
“Water is a key resource for H&M, and we are committed to ensuring water is used responsibly throughout our value chain. We do this to minimize risks in our operations, protect the environment and secure availability of water for present and future generations,” said Karl-Johan Persson, the head of H&M, in a press statement released yesterday.
The World Wildlife Fund, the venerable environmental group, will monitor the effort and collaborate with H&M in a campaign called “Pioneering Water Stewardship for Fashion” over the next three years.
With 94,000 employees selling clothes in 48 countries and 750 direct suppliers, H&M is a significant global force in the garment industry.
WWF sees H&M’s commitment to changing all aspects of its water use — from cotton to the customer — as a chance to change the way an entire industry deals with water use and pollution.
“This partnership marks an evolution in the corporate approach to water,” said James P. Leape, Director General of WWF International, according to the statement.
Just two years ago Greenpeace U.K. condemned H&M for wasting water, shaming it with commitments Puma, Adidas and Nike had made to do better. At the time Greenpeace charged: “H&M had links to factories discharging a range of hazardous chemicals into China’s rivers.”
The German sportswear-maker Puma (owned by the French PPR) has been scoring points with environmentalists on several sustainability campaigns. Two years ago, the company introduced an accounting tool that measures the sustainability of products in terms of the greenhouse gases emitted and water consumed to make them. More visible to consumers, the company has received much praise for its environmentally friendly packaging.
Even the corporate behemoth Nike, which in the ’90s was forced to fight against the image of profiting from child labor, has long vowed to be a good and sustainable corporate citizen. In 2011, it announced it wanted to stop discharging hazardous chemicals by 2020.
Join our sustainability discussion. Do you trust these multinational companies when they announce sustainability plans? Or are such announcements more public relations and marketing than honest goals?

EMCN donation centre provides essentials, sense of belonging for newcomers
When the Edmonton Emergency Relief Services Society (EERSS) closed its doors at the end of September, a gap in services was left for many newcomers to Canada.
The Edmonton Mennonite Centre for Newcomers (EMCN) knew that many of its clients were relying on EERSS to get settled in their new lives in Canada, so they decided to fill that gap.
“The idea came when EERSS closed their doors. We had already had a partnership with them,” says Dalia Abdellatif, Emergency Relief Connector at EMCN.
At the beginning of November, EMCN opened the Don Baergen Donation Centre to help the new refugees.
“At the time EMCN didn’t have any sources to help their clients get essential goods or gather donations so we thought about opening a small donation centre so we can help our clients,” says Dalia.
Donations have already started coming in since the space has been opened at EMCN, but more donations are always needed.
“We’ve only been open for a month and have been helping approximately 30 families,” she says.
“We have household items, clothes, bedding, pillows, shoes, all the winter gear.
Most of the newcomers, especially if they come in the winter, they struggle to adapt to the temperature and the weather,” says Dalia.
Many of the newcomers being served are refugees.
“Some of them have jackets, but they’re from back home not going to work in freezing temperatures, so they need good winter jackets,” says Dalia.
The donation centre, located at 11713 - 82 Street, is still in need of household items and winter gear for immigrants and refugees arriving in Edmonton.
“These donations are important because newcomers, when they arrive, some of them they don’t have anything,” she says. “They left everything behind, especially the refugees. They don’t have the money to buy all the things you need to start your new life, so a little bit of help at the beginning makes them feel welcome in the community.”
The donations not only meet a practical need but show newcomers that Canadians are glad they are here, and want them to succeed.
“I always tell them the donations are from the community,” she says. “So they know that the community is welcoming them to their new homes.”
To make a donation to the Don Baergen Donation Centre, contact Dalia at firstname.lastname@example.org.

When will post-truth thinking extend to buildings and bridges, which will remain intact because of faith rather than physics?
Stephanie Innes of Arizona Central writes the state of Arizona has canceled a vaccine education program after receiving complaints from parents who don’t immunize their school-age children.
The pilot online course, modeled after programs in Oregon and Michigan, was created in response to the rising number of Arizona schoolchildren skipping school-required immunizations against diseases like measles, mumps and whooping cough because of their parents’ beliefs.
But some parents, who were worried the optional course was going to become mandatory, complained to the Governor’s Regulatory Review Council, which reviews regulations to ensure they are necessary and do not adversely affect the public. The six-member council is appointed by Gov. Doug Ducey, with an ex-officio general counsel.
Members of the council questioned the state health department about the course after receiving the public feedback about it, emails show. The state responded by canceling it.
The complaints that ended the pilot program came from about 120 individuals and families, including 20 parents who said that they don’t vaccinate their children, records show.
“We’re so sorry we couldn’t make a go of this — strong forces against us,” Brenda Jones, immunization services manager at the Arizona Department of Health Services, wrote in an Aug. 6 email to a Glendale school official, along with a notification about the course’s cancellation.
In an email to two Health Department staff members on Aug. 14, Jones wrote that there had been “a lot of political and anti-vaxx” feedback.
“I’m not sure why providing ‘information’ is seen as a negative thing,” said state Rep. Heather Carter, R-Cave Creek, who spent the last three legislative sessions as chairwoman of the House Health Committee and helped create the pilot program.
“Providing information doesn’t take away a parent’s choice to seek an exemption. … This is a major concern. Vaccines have saved lives for generations. We all want to live in safe and healthy communities.”
Kindergartners in Maricopa County as a whole are now below herd immunity for measles, said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, medical director for disease control for the Maricopa County Department of Public Health.
Maricopa County reflects national trends that show people who choose not to vaccinate their children tend to be higher income and white, sh
The American Academy of Pediatrics views non-medical vaccine exemptions to school-required immunizations “as inappropriate for individual, public health, and ethical reasons and advocates for their elimination,” a September 2016 policy statement says.
A California law that took effect in 2016 — a little more than a year after a measles outbreak erupted at Disneyland and spread to include seven Arizona cases — prohibits personal belief exemptions. Children in California may still get exemptions for medical reasons, as long as their exemption is signed by a licensed physician. Otherwise, they aren’t allowed to enroll in school.


An amendment snuck into the budget bill passed by the Republican-controlled Ohio House on April 18 would force public universities to decide between charging lucrative out-of-state tuition rates or providing out-of-state students with documents required for voting in Ohio, raising concerns from Democrats that Republicans are attempting to limit voting opportunities in the state once again.
The measure would force public universities to classify students living on campus as in-state if they receive utility bills or official letters that can be used for identification when voting in Ohio.
Out-of-state tuition rates are typically higher than in-state tuition rates, which means universities would be giving up potentially millions in revenue to provide out-of-state students with the proper documents.
For universities, the measure adds a financial incentive to hold on to the documents. For out-of-state students, that could mean a more difficult time getting the documents to vote in Ohio elections.
Students can vote in Ohio if they have lived in the state for at least 30 days, but voting requires proper identification and proof of residency. Utility bills and official letters qualify, but student identification cards do not.
Republicans have been quick to defend the measure, while Democrats have been quick to oppose it. For both sides, there’s a clear political motivation: In the 2012 elections, 63 percent of Ohio voters aged 18 to 29 supported Democratic President Barack Obama, while only 35 percent supported Republican Mitt Romney, according to exit poll data.
Toledo Blade: “The real issue for local areas in particular [is], what happens when somebody from New York City registers to vote. How do they vote on a school levy? How do they vote on a sheriff’s race? To me, there is a significant question, particularly the levies, as to what having people who don’t have to pay for them would do in terms of voting on those things.”
The comments prompted a response from Ohio Democrats, particularly attorney general candidate David Pepper, a Greater Cincinnati native.
“It’s startling to see one of Ohio’s leaders voicing such a blatantly unconstitutional justification for this cynical law,” Pepper said in a statement. “The Constitution guarantees an individual’s right to vote, regardless of what views they espouse (‘how ... they vote’), whether they own property, or where they hail from originally. The Speaker’s comments would quickly become Exhibit A in a successful Constitutional challenge of this scheme to keep Ohio’s college students from voting.”
Pepper’s statement went on to cite three U.S. Supreme Court cases to support his argument: Kramer v. Union Free School District No. 15 from 1969, Carrington v. Rash from 1965 and Dunn v. Blumstein from 1972.
In Kramer v. Union Free School District No. 15, the court argued any laws that discriminate against certain types of voters must endure strict judicial scrutiny because “any unjustified discrimination in determining who may participate in political affairs or in the selection of public officials undermines the legitimacy of representative government.” The ruling struck down a New York statute that said those participating in school board elections must be property owners, the spouses of property owners, lessors or a parent or guardian of a child in the school district.
Pepper’s statement claims the ruling invalidates Batchelder’s argument: “The Court rejected the state’s argument (identical to the Speaker’s) that only those two groups had a primary interest in such elections.”
In Carrington v. Rash, the Supreme Court ruled states may not limit voting based on how someone may vote: “‘Fencing out’ from the franchise a sector of the population because of the way they may vote is constitutionally impermissible. ‘[T]he exercise of rights so vital to the maintenance of democratic institutions’ ... cannot constitutionally be obliterated because of a fear of the political views of a particular group of bona fide residents.”
Similarly, Dunn v. Blumstein struck down Tennessee’s one-year residency requirements for voting in a ruling that said residents recently coming from other states can’t be barred from voting: “[T]he fact that newly arrived [Tennesseeans] may have a more national outlook than long-time residents, or even may retain a viewpoint characteristic of the region from which they have come, is a constitutionally impermissible reason for depriving them of their chance to influence the electoral vote of their new home State.”
The Ohio House’s budget bill amendment is only one of many attempts from Ohio Republicans to limit voting opportunities in the state since 2011.
In 2011, the Republican-controlled legislature and Gov. John Kasich approved two laws that reduced early voting hours. Democrats and third-party groups threatened to bring the legislation to referendum, but the Republican-controlled legislature and Kasich repealed most of the measures and restored expanded early voting in Ohio before the referendum came to a vote. A federal court also restored early voting for all Ohioans for the three days prior to Election Day, which the previous repeals had only brought back for military voters.
In 2012, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, a Republican, invoked uniform early voting hours, effectively eliminating most weekend voting, and made last-minute changes that placed the burden of proper identification on voters instead of poll workers, which Democrats argued made verifying provisional ballots more difficult.
When asked to justify some of the measures, Doug Preisse, close adviser to Kasich and chairman of the Franklin County Republican Party, wrote in an email to The Columbus Dispatch, “I guess I really actually feel we shouldn’t contort the voting process to accommodate the urban — read African-American — voter-turnout machine.”
The race-based reasoning prompted a harsh response from Democrats, who claimed Republicans were trying to suppress minority voters who tend to vote for Democrats.
“The Chastity Bunch,”issue of April 24).
The budget bill still has to be approved by the Ohio Senate and Kasich to become law.

Regular dental hygiene is essential for maintaining the health and strength of your teeth. Daily brushing and flossing, along with biannual dental cleanings and exams, are all crucial components. Ignoring oral hygiene can lead to a buildup of plaque and bacteria, both of which can lead to the development of cavities. If a cavity does form, treatment is necessary. At Spalding Dental, we can treat your cavities with composite fillings.
What are Cavities?
A cavity is a small pit that forms on the surface of your tooth as a result of tooth decay. Tooth decay occurs when the acids produced by plaque and oral bacteria are left to linger on the surfaces of your enamel for too long. The acids gradually erode the protective enamel layer of your teeth, causing decay. Eventually, the decay gives way to a cavity. The longer the cavity goes untreated, the larger it becomes. It can weaken the integrity of the affected tooth. The cavity can also develop into the inner layers of the teeth, providing a direct path for bacteria to get inside. Bacteria in the tooth can lead to a serious, and very painful, infection.
Traditionally, cavities have been treated with amalgam fillings. Amalgam fillings are made up of a mixture of metals, including tin, silver, and nickel, which are suspended in liquid mercury. These fillings, when cured, are extremely strong. However, they are silver in color, which makes them stand out from the rest of your natural tooth color. The mercury content of these fillings is also a major concern for many patients.
Composite fillings provide you with an alternative to amalgam fillings. Composite fillings use a composite resin material. Composite resin consists of a mixture of fine glass, plastic, and other materials. The biggest advantage of composite fillings is that they are tooth colored. They blend in perfectly with the rest of your natural tooth structure, which can make them ideal for cavities that are located in the teeth visible in your smile.
Composite vs Amalgam Fillings
The procedure for getting your composite fillings is fairly straightforward and takes only a single visit to complete. First, the tooth is cleaned, and the decay is drilled out of the cavity. After the tooth is dried, an acid etch placed in the cavity, which works to create a rough texture on your enamel. This texture aids in enhancing the bond between the composite resin and your natural tooth. The acid is washed off, and your tooth dried again. The composite resin material is packed inside the cavity, and blue light is used to cure it. Finally, the material is polished smooth, providing you with immediate protection from further harm.
They blend in perfectly with the color of your natural teeth.
They bond with the tooth. This means that less of your natural tooth structure needs to be drilled away.
They are fairly strong, and they can stand up to almost daily use.
These fillings do not contain any metal or any mercury.
Composite fillings not only restore the health of teeth affected by decay, they also restore your smile. Call Spalding Dental for more information and to schedule your appointment today at (907) 276-7366.
