This poem’s dedicated to the ones that need a reminder that the sorrows of your past doesn’t have to define you. Make your future stronger than the present, and your past weaker than your present. Yesterday doesn’t have to make you break down today; yesterday can teach you who not to trust, where not to visit, but most importantly yesterday can shape your today into the first day of knowing something new. The first day of you demonstrating the raw strength you possess. A chance for you to highlight to the ones that look down at you that you are independent. That you can move on. That you have courage. Yesterday brought pain, today creates memories, and the future holds you reflecting back with pride at the one time you ploughed on through the lashing rain. Amongst the bad times there always is a way to genuinely smile through it if you observe yourself with a less critical eye. It all begins with loving yourself. Accepting you have your flaws, made your mistakes, and took a blow gives you the power to overcome immense hatred of yourself. No one is perfect. Never was, and never will be. Learn to believe that.
When you feel you’ve done enough, so
Weary of trudging on that you’re
Falling prey to giving up,
Strain to snatch up that fine thread of resilience, just
Don’t let the numbness spread over.
Instead glide your wings out wide
That’s when the stars appear,
Twinkling from a far
A little glimpse of hope
Watching you over in times of darkness though glimmering as if to say don’t ever stop.
You might not believe yourself
If twelve million doubts swim in your mind,
But a contract of the will
To your soul
Will see you battering down the closed doors of consciousness,
Leave behind the things you want to let go
Trailing them along will burden your heart
As one day you’ll come to realise
That even though they talk to your back
They never had the courage to spit in your face,
Making you all the stronger walking around with a scarred spine.
Wrapped in chains
You’re the one stained as the one with the caged heart,
Don’t let the key slip
Slowly the chains will loosen and hit the gloom,
So don’t force it, these chains protect you.
Just the thought of
Makes me so mad,
Makes me rage with anger at myself for trusting you
Yet I learned to file it under could have been,
Cause at one point you wanted me.
I’ll be drowning in midst the thoughts of sorrow,
When they began throwing pebbles
Landing in midst my field of loneliness,
Adjusting is difficult but it’s real –
I got tired of drowning alone.
So even if you’re friends with the monsters,
And think you are what you feel
RIP to the shadow you used to be
Because you aren’t home bound,
Break free and save yourself,
Leaving a blank space where you used to leave your downs in life.
Even if you can’t conquer it,
Stop holding your breath, it won’t fade away,
You’re still human so take it back to the days when you smiled a smile of joy,
Even if you can’t feel,
Maybe your eyes can shine instead at the memory –
What about, what about loving yourself first?

Studio performance in the main hall
Eight short stories by Cekhov form the basis of Csaba Kiss‘ play which all merge into one single text in an interesting context with precise dramaturgy. The genre of text infused with grotesque humor and various comical scenes is: male-fairy tale. Various stories of three troupers are intervined and add various pieces to the puzzle like appearance of a mysterious woman, Irina Bikulina. Flight of women and romantic love, lewdness and death defying loyalty – only so many contradictory brush strokes paint the picture of this make-believe woman, but the question of what exactly happened to her, remains open until the end.

EWI Hosts Discussion on East Asian Geopolitics
On May 2, 2019, EWI hosted Yasushi Kudo, founder and president of the Genron NPO, for a wide-ranging discussion on the current geopolitical dynamics around Japan, including the U.S.-China trade frictions and the rapidly deteriorating Japan-South Korea relationship, which present significant challenges for Japan to promote peace and stability in Northeast Asia.
The exchange of views delved into the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance and maintaining dialogue between Japan and South Korea as well as Japan and China to reduce miscalculation and prevent escalation of confrontations in the region. Current funding trends of these dialogue processes were also discussed.
EWI's Zoe Leung, senior associate with the Asia-Pacific program; David Janes, fellow with the Asia-Pacific program; and Noel Gonzalez, assistant to the CEO and executive vice president, discussed the challenges and opportunities in fostering partnerships between countries in the Asia-Pacific region through constructive Track 1.5 and 2 dialogue processes.

Movie Person of Interest (2010) download free
Book Title: Person of Interest|
Directors: Gregory Bayne
Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller
Release Date: 2010-10-02
Runtime: 72 min
Stars: J. Reuben Appelman,Nova Tydings,Stitch Marker
IMDb Rating: 5.8
Full movie description "Person of Interest":An Iraq War veteran suffering from PTSD becomes convinced that the federal government is setting him up as the fall-guy in a soon-to-be domestic terrorist attack.
Reviews of the Person of InterestYeah it definitely references Scorsese's TAXI DRIVER, but seems more homage than anything. The story itself was very contemporary and did a good job of presenting a pretty political subject in an unbiased way. It's non-linear and doesn't follow any conventional formula which may be off putting for some, but is something I like. I found myself pretty engrossed for the whole movie and thought the ending was intense. Technically it looked great. The camera work, lighting and off kilter editing definitely set a tone. There was solid acting throughout. It seems like one of those movies you need to watch more than once to catch everything. Also appreciated that the movie was just over 70 minutes. Too many indie movies are too long - IMHO.

Following the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) logged onto Instagram and told her truth-a truth that she had not told many people about before that moment. AOC disclosed that she is a sexual assault survivor.
Survivors of sexual assault experience Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD). PTSD can present itself in many different ways and affects every person differently. Some people may have few triggers, some may experience triggers daily. Trauma manifests in many ways at any time. Traumatic events can trigger past traumas as well, so being in a riot could easily trigger someone’s PTSD.
AOC recounted her experience during the siege, detailing the panic she felt, and that she thought she was going to die. She discussed her experiences with Katie Porter, who helped her in the moment as well as an unsettling moment with a Capitol police officer. AOC then went on to explain that people who were telling her to “just move on” from this traumatic experience were no different than the tactics used by abusers.
Some of the feedback AOC has received after telling her truth has been vile and disturbing. News articles shared on Facebook have laugh reactions on them, and the comments section are full of people commenting horrific things. People are calling her a liar, saying if she is telling the truth then she is not fit to be in a position of power, and saying she is using her assault to play the victim. Many comments say she is only saying it now for political gain. Others call her a liar because she “doesn’t seem like a victim,” and the more horrific ones make jokes about her assault. Some people have gone so far as to post pictures of her when she was younger, and victim blame her for what she was wearing and how she was behaving among friends. Which, by the way, none of those things lead to sexual assault.
The only thing that leads to sexual assault is rapists, therefore nothing AOC, or anyone, has done, worn, or anything is the cause of that. Victim blaming negatively impacts the survivor and is a big reason why survivors do not come forward about their assault or even report it. Also, sexual assault is not funny, it is not something that anyone should laugh at, especially when a survivor is coming forward about it. Some of the things said in the comments were so vile I don’t even feel comfortable repeating them. Some people even go as far as to make jokes about the assault and side with the rapist.
AOC may or may not see those comments, which I hope she does not because the things people are saying about her are despicable. However, other survivors are seeing them. These people leaving these comments are harming people they know, family members, friends, siblings, children, anyone they know that has been assaulted that may or may not have come forward. Survivors choose not to report for many reasons and saying that if she did not have evidence it did not happen, or questioning her honesty because it has been so long since the assault, is harming those around them who have gone through the same thing.
Laughing about this is truly abhorrent, whether you like someone or not there are lines that should never be crossed and laughing about someone’s sexual assault just because you do not like them is crossing it.

Smiley Smile is a Beach Boys album that continues to draw me like a moth to the flame. I return to this album every year or so and can never quite grasp all that it contains. It is one of the most unpredictable albums in the Beach Boys catalogue as it evokes different thoughts and feelings during each listening.
Smiley Smile is an album that should never have happened. Shortly following the release of Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson produced the single “Good Vibrations.” “Good Vibrations” is now recognized as one of the most creative and revered songs in rock and roll history. The harmonies flow along and build upon each other until they form a virtual symphony of sound all within three and a half minutes. Brian Wilson recorded “Good Vibrations” in small sections and then pieced them together into the finished song. This one single took weeks to produce and cost over $50,000 which was an unheard of sum at the time. “Good Vibrations” rewarded the Beach Boys with their third number one single.
This success, both creatively and commercially, gave Brian Wilson the impetus to begin work on his next great creation entitled Smile. He formed a musical partnership with Van Dyke Parks and they worked for about six months on the Smile project.
Problems began when Mike Love voiced his displeasure about many of the Smile songs. He felt that the songs were too complicated to be sung in concert. Capitol Records was worried about the commercial viability of the album. Finally, Brian Wilson began to suffer from exhaustion and mental problems. The Smile project was shelved and Smiley Smile was quickly pieced together as a substitute. Smile would not surface as a completed project for decades but various songs would be issued on a number of Beach Boys albums over the years.
Smiley Smile was released in 1967 at the height of the psychedelic rock era. While followers of such artists as The Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead were not likely to be Beach Boy fans, Smiley Smile would fit this era in music well. It can legitimately be considered psychedelic pop.


Section of York County's Rail Trail closed for tree removal
York County Parks has closed a section of the Heritage Rail Trail from daylight until 4 p.m. for several days while dead trees are removed.
Large electronic signs announce the closure between miles 18 and 19, from the Regents Glen entrance to Indian Rock Dam Road. Approximately 20 trees, mostly ash but also a few locust and walnut trees, are being removed in the area to make the trail safer for trail users and neighboring homes.
The closure is expected to last through Friday, Sept. 20, while the work is being completed. Trail users are asked to avoid the area.

WayForward bringing Double Dragon: Neon to PSN, XBLA
Publisher Majesco and developer WayForward (who were the team behind the excellent Contra 4 and the less excellent BloodRayne: Betrayal) have announced their latest retro revival: Double Dragon: Neon!
Double Dragon: Neon will be available for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade this Summer and will make its public debut at this year’s PAX East expo (which starts in just under an hour!). Gamers are encouraged to take the battle to the Black Dragon Clan (and their new leader, Skullmageddon) at the Reverb Booth (#808).
“Double Dragon: Neon is far from a standard retro remake,” said Sean Velasco, Director, WayForward. “It’s WayForward’s love letter to the decade that spawned the franchise – the music, the style, and culture of the 80’s pulse through the nucleus of Double Dragon: Neon. But don’t think this is a simple graphical facelift; with our innovative ‘mix tape’ level up system and power-up high-fives, we pushed it to the limit!”

Mockingjay is the third book in the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, in which our heroine Katniss Everdene finally comes into her own. Hereâ€™s the super condensed version of the setup: dystopia, dictatorship, reality TV, gladiatorial games, love triangle, rebellion. That will get you most of the way there, but you can read my review of The Hunger Games or Catching Fire for more detail.
After the filler that was book 2, I was glad to see Collins finally start running full speed with a theme sheâ€™s been hinting at since the first book: Katniss as an unwilling and even unknowing role model and inspiration to the growing rebellion in Panum. She, along with several of the other characters from previous books, find themselves in the middle of a full-out war against Capitol, fighting for their freedom by cutting off the cityâ€™s access to the goods and services it had traditionally plundered from its various surrounding districts. Only Katniss finds that life as a the face of a rebellion isn’t much better than the alternative, since sheâ€™s still being pushed around, still having to throw herself into danger to protect those she loves, and still finding herself literally on camera and fumbling to play a part for the sake of appealing to home viewers. It is, in short, very much like being in the Hunger Games. I thought this was pretty clever of Collins, and I really like how she plays with this intersection of celebrity, politics, and warfare, which you can see pretty clearly in the real world if you squint your eyes and cock your head just a little.
The author also continues to touch on other themes like responsibility, government control, sacrifice, the role of media in war and politics, class warfare, poverty, and the rest. And, of course, while things resemble the Hunger Games thematically, we are finally not watching Katniss and Peeta stomp around an actual arena. Instead we see Katniss and her crew engaging in real warfare, making hard decisions (or failing to), and living with the consequences (or trying to). The book does, in fact, get pretty dark at times. Like really dark. Like, dead babies dark. This is kind of surprising for a book found in the â€œYoung Adultâ€ section of the bookstore, but at the same time it gives it a sense of gravity that entirely fits with the themes being laid out.
I cannot, unfortunately, say the same thing about the love triangle between Katniss, Peeta, and Gail, but at least in Mockingjay I can sigh and remind myself of three things: 1) this is indeed a book written for young adults, 2) Katniss is supposed to be like 16 or something and most every one of us was also emotionally retarded at that age, and 3) itâ€™s not nearly as bad as it was in the first two books. And, in the end, Collins decided to give us a payoff (or at least a resolution) that actually felt natural and deserved.
So, while Mockingjay wasnâ€™t the novel page-turner that I found the first book to be, it was definitely better than the second and made for a nice cap to the series.

OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Oklahoma City School District is officially on probation, but the district's Superintendent says it's a good thing.
Thursday the state Board of Education cited 14 Oklahoma City schools for poor performance on test scores, attendance and graduation rates. Yet the Superintendent sees it as a spur to improvement.
Just as Bricktown turned around downtown Oklahoma City, so Superintendent Karl Springer vows to turn around the Oklahoma City School system, only more so.
That's an ambitious goal for someone who has only been on the job for a year, but the sign on his desk conveys Springer's sense of urgency--and explains why he thinks probation is a good thing.
"It helps me as a school superintendent get the community to understand that what we've been talking about for 13 months is real," Springer said.
Starting this fall Oklahoma City and Tulsa will be among 10 districts in the country participating in a secondary school reading improvement initiative. The program, developed by the ACT and America's Choice, will be financed by federal stimulus dollars.
"We determined that Oklahoma City and Tulsa together, we could become the premiere urban school district in the United States working together," Springer said.
Springer says the two high schools on probation--U.S. Grant and Capitol Hill--are already showing improvement and could get off probation this year.
And starting next month Oklahoma City goes to full-day kindergarten to ensure the youngest students get off to a good start--and fulfill the goal inscribed outside one city school.
In recent history no large urban school system anywhere in the country has recorded the sort of academic turn-around that Springer is talking about.
He insists that Oklahoma City, along with Tulsa, will be the first.
Requests for an on camera interview from State Superintendent Sandy Garrett, but she hasn't made herself available for comment.

Constance Georgina Louise Bourbel de Monpincon (March 28, 1838 – 1910) was born in Florence, Italy. Her father was French, her mother English.
In 1863 she married her cousin, the Count Wachtmeister, with whom she had a son, count Axel Raoul. After three years of marriage she moved to Stockholm where, in 1868, the count was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. After the death of her husband in 1871, she still lived in Sweden for several years. In 1879 the countess began investigating Spiritism and in 1881 joined the Theosophical Society.
She was an important partner for Helena Blavatsky and essential support for the work of The Secret Doctrine. She has not left many written texts, but her work "Reminiscences of H. P. Blavatsky and the Secret Doctrine" is a source for a study on the personality of Madame Blavatsky. Subsequently organized the Theosophical Publishing Co. alongside Bertram Keightley, in order to publish the works of H.P.B. After working tirelessly to spread the Theosophical message, the countess died in 1910.

Rolling Stone recently published an article claiming that The Weeknd‘s upcoming HBO series The Idol is “twisted torture porn.” Now, it’s published an article alleging that The Kelly Clarkson Show is “toxic behind the scenes.”
To be clear, Kelly is not responsible for the alleged “toxic” behavior, according to the article, and is described as likely being unaware of it. Instead, 11 current and former employees blame several producers, including executive producer and showrunner Alex Duda, who one former employee describes as “a monster.”
According to those quoted in the article, there have been numerous complaints made to human resources about how working with Duda, a production manager and other staff was affecting their mental health, but HR allegedly didn’t do anything about it. One person described themselves as “really traumatized,” while others claim they were yelled at and cursed at, bullied, picked on and retaliated against.
“There’s a culture of non-accountability for some people, and that needs to change,” a former employee told Rolling Stone.
“Kelly is fantastic. She is a person who never treats anyone with anything but dignity and is incredibly appreciative,” another ex-employee said. “I would be shocked if she knew.”
Contacted by ABC Audio about the article, a rep for NBC Universal denied the allegations. A rep said in a statement, “We are committed to a safe and respectful work environment and take workplace complaints very seriously and to insinuate otherwise is untrue. When issues are reported they are promptly reviewed, investigated and acted upon as appropriate.”
“The Kelly Clarkson Show strives to build a safe, respectful and equitable workplace that nurtures a culture of inclusivity and creativity,” the statement added.

Progress Chukwuyem has emerged the winner of the Nigerian Idol season 7, defeating 12 others who emerged as top contestants after earning the majority of fan votes during the show.
Chukwuyem will work away with the N100 million grand prize comprising N30m cash, a brand new SUV, a Bigi branded refrigerator, one year supply of Bigi drinks a music recording contract, a weekend getaway from TravelBeta, and a DStv Explora fully installed with a 12 months premium subscription.
IK Osakioduwa announced him as the winner of the seventh season at the grand finale held at the Africa Magic studios on Sunday.
Chukwuyem battled his closest rival, Zadok Aghalengbe, for the crown title of the Nigerian Idol after raking in a majority of the 175 million votes recorded.
Aghalengbe, as the first runner up, will get an EP produced by a leading music producer in Nigeria and a top-notch music video shoot.
The grand finale saw live performances by D’banj, Simi, Pheelz, and Kingdom (season 6 winner) accompanied by the top 10 contestants.
The music reality show started on February 6, 2022, when music stars like Dapo Oyebanjo, known as D’banj, and Similoluwa Kosoko, aka Simi, joined Obi Asika, who returned as a judge from the previous season.
Nigerian Idol is the local version of the Idol series franchise. It is the second Idol franchise for the country as it was already part of Idols West Africa which was also shot and produced in Stockholm, Sweden.
The show started with its first season in 2010 during the 50th anniversary of the country with the tagline “Live your dream. Accept no limitation.”
The season six of the Nigerian Idol was won by Kingdom Kroseide. He walked away with a N30m cash prize and N20m in other prizes.


Here’s a question that has been burning me and probably anyone frequently heading to and from the harbor: why is the Highway 101 undercrossing at Castillo Street always wet? —D.
As I mentioned in a recent Odds & Ends post, the water table is simply too high for an area that dips low, and as a result, water penetrates through the undercrossing’s slab. The question then becomes whether anything can be done about it.
A different D. asked just that over a year ago, and I tried the Caltrans media reps, to no avail. When the question came up again, I tried Caltrans again (and again, and again, and again), and I got nowhere. So when the city announced public meetings about making improvements to the intersection, I reached out to the Public Works staffers overseeing the project, and they were willing to talk about the situation.
The issue has been around for a long time, they explained, and Caltrans owns the right of way below the freeway, so the city doesn’t actively maintain it. The longterm fix is to change the crossing to an overpass, which would cost a minimum of $100 million. And that’s not something Caltrans has planned anytime soon.
A few years ago, the city did public outreach to share conceptual designs for bike and pedestrian improvements on W. Montecito Street, W. Haley Street, and Castillo Street—that whole connection between downtown and the waterfront. That outreach didn’t include the undercrossing, however, and community members suggested looking into widening the undercrossing’s sidewalk, which Caltrans is onboard with.
So what the city wants to do now is to raise cyclists out of the wet roadway, which would make biking through the area more pleasant and less treacherous. (Cars will still have to deal with the water.) The plans also include reconfiguring traffic lanes at various points.
There are two options for how to fit a bike lane on W. Haley Street between De La Vina and Bath. The first one adds the bike lane to the south side of the pavement; the alternate concept moves the bike lane up near the sidewalk.
At the intersection of W. Haley and Castillo, the thick green lines are dedicated bike lanes raised to sidewalk level. The two current westbound lanes on W. Haley would become one lane that splits into two left-turn lanes and one lane to go forward or turn right. (The second image below is a crop to make the text more legible.)
On Castillo Street between the 101 undercrossing and W. Montecito Street, the dedicated bike lane continues on the west side of the street (where you bike uphill), while on the north side, cyclists going downhill share a lane with cars. The plans show the possibility of widening the sidewalks on both sides to 10 feet, which would allow for tree wells, although some property would have to be acquired.
The slide for the intersection of Castillo Street and W. Montecito Street shows how the new raised bike lane would connect to the Cliff Drive multi-use path (construction to start in 2027) and a “future two-way path along west side of Castillo between Montecito and Cabrillo (next to Pershing Park).”
The Public Works reps said that if they can make these changes—they’re planning on asking the city council for approval to pursue grant funding next month—it will hopefully improve the moisture situation at the undercrossing a bit, but it won’t fix the problem entirely.

2: Searching for truth in literature
In this post we'll look at the following:
• Should we read books from other faiths? • What about the books of biblical characters that have been left out of the bible?
• What place does Christian literature have?
Truth is a person, His name is Jesus
As we read our Bibles, and other literature we must remember that Truth is not information, knowledge or facts. Truth is Jesus, Truth is God's word to us.
Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me - John 14:6 NLT
Sanctify them by Your truth, Your word is truth - John 17:17 NKJV
The more we know Jesus, the more He frees us from deception. We don't need to study error in order to find or discern what is true. The more we know Jesus His discernment in us will sharpen.
The Desire for Knowledge
We are in a time where there is a great temptation to appear wise and knowledgeable - a temptation endlessly repackaged since the Garden of Eden. Though there is nothing wrong with education, gaining understanding, studying the word and other literature, we have to remember that the highest goal is to "come unto the knowledge of the Truth".
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. - 1 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV
This means an intimate knowing of our Saviour, more than knowing about Him Everything we read should lead us to draw near to Him, recognize Him or understand Him more. Jesus said:
“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life."
The same can be said for other books aside from the Bible. We may search for knowledge and understanding, but if it doesn't point us back to Christ or somehow strengthen our walk with Him, what's the point?
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. - 2 Timothy 3:16 NKJV
Many in the Body of Christ will argue their freedom to read books like the book of Enoch, and even books of other faiths. Yet the book of biblical characters have been left out for a reason; they were not inspired by God, therefore not revealing Christ or reflecting the love story Abba tells throughout scripture. So yes we are free to read anything, but not everything is beneficial and edifying for us.
All things are legitimate [permissible—and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life]. - 1 Corinthians 10:23 -AMPC
Remember, knowledge puffs up, but love edifies (1 Corinthians 8:1).
There is no law against reading books aide from the Bible. There are many a great Christian books to help us on our journey, but we should always consider; are we reading edifying books? Do we weigh their concepts against scripture? Are they pointing us back to Christ/Biblical principles or into works/worldliness? Are we reading as led by the Spirit of God?
We are in the last days, and time is precious. May our growth in Christ be supplemented with edifying literature, free from distraction and not given to the temptation for the kind of knowledge that only puffs up.

I am a firm believer that kids need snacks. Not the typical snack but instead one that will help add more nutrition to the child's diet. Snacks aren't a time to give those "empty" calories to fill the small void until the next meal. Instead, use snack time to give them a pick me up, to add more fuel to the tank.
Fridays are my days with the girls. A day to take a break from my other job, Health Promotion Specialist for a Health & Wellness program, and focus on my main job as mommy! So on Fridays we get to play around with our food a little more. We are usually on the go in the morning, after a nice complete breakfast, and then back home for rest time and play time. Today, after having my outrageous oatmeal we headed out to the children's museum for fun. I won't mention the special, very infrequent lunch we had because this blog is supposed to be about healthy eating right? But, remember, you must have fun and be relaxed with eating, too. It's all about moderation! So after a full day and a nice rest time we had a small snack of Ezekiel Raisin Bread with almond butter; my oldest enjoyed a small amount of Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter with hers, too, and a ripe juicy peach. To make the snack even nicer, my oldest and I shared a glass of ice tea. I've got her liking this yummy Pure Organic brand green tea on ice. What great taste. Heehee.

The location makes this an excellent transit hotel, either between flights or a drive further down to one of the resort towns. You can also visit nearby attractions such as the Crocodile Farm, Safari World, and shopping malls such as Seacon Square and Fashion Island. If you have the time, you can also make a quick trip to the downtown area. Baan Chay Namm Resort is a different kind of a transit hotel with a location that makes you feel away from the city while still being in it.

Country Stay Close to Bsngkok”
This is a beautiful and relaxing resort about 20 miles from the center of Bangkok in a secluded area with lakes and serenity. I enjoyed my stay here, the room was a separate small Thai style house that was clean, air conditioned and comfortable and the staff was very polite and efficient. This property is better suited however for Bangkok residents who want to get away from the City without going far than it is for tourists. It's too remote, too far from the center of town and too secluded for tourists, but if you want a peaceful, beautiful and very inexpensive place to escape the noise of pollution of the city, this is a great choice.
First time trying this”
The hotel is very new, just operated about 3 months and everything are good. If you required their transport from the airport, it is best to get their phone numbers from agoda first as you need to call them to arrange once you arrived. Very relaxing place and no plane sound. Enjoy your trip.
Great location and great rooms plus service”
Everything was perfect with the exception of the hard matress, but that is a problem all over Asia. Breakfast a bit too restricted (only eggs and bacon) and the coffee too weak. Still, very much recommended.
Lovely unique place to stay”
we arrived quite late at night, long after sunset, so were unfortunately unable to see the resort in daylight. the two thai ladies who greeted us were very friendly and polite but could speak very little english. this was by no means a negative reflection of the resort generally, and we were soon referred to who we gathered to be the resort owner who could speak better english. we were shown to our rooms and were impressed by the spaciousness and cleanliness of each room. we had a balcony overlooking what we assumed was a small lake, but with it being dark throughout our stay (we departed before sunrise the following day) we were unable to appreciate our views. we enjoyed a very well prepared meal of fried rice in the evening. the staff at the resort were very helpful. we would consider staying at this resort again.
decent alternative to an airport hotel”
It's further from the airport than I thought and cost 200B in a taxi. It's a quiet place set around a pond full of fish. Our chalet was a little dusty and there was blood on one of our towels, so we used our own. You need to bring your own food though because there was nothing available when we arrived at 9pm and the 'breakfast' was just spam & toast which left us hungry all morning. We went looking for a restaurant nearby but there's nothing and the few stalls we found were all closed. We ended up just going back to the airport to find some food!
secluded and private location near airport”
only stayed two nights while waiting to depart thailand. friendly staff who arranged an afternoon trip to bangkok for us and were more than helpful with our requirement for a very early morning departure. a simple menu consisting mainly of thai dishes which were well-prepared and delivered to our room.
Great chalet style room but far from the airport”
owner does not speak good english. airport pick-up was not well organized. i notified the hotel very well in advance and nobody met me at the airport. i called several and due to poor level of english, there was not much of a communication. after waiting for over an hour, i took a cab there myself. the hotel is too far to be justified as an airport hotel. the cab driver got lost a couple of times (genuinely). room was nice - chalet style, overlooking a lake, very peaceful with country atmosphere. owners are very welcoming. food was basic. dropped off efficient.
Fifth visit to this wonderful place.”
We will always keep coming back to Baan Chay Namm. We love this place. We have a truck so are able to get around. if you want a clean room, friendly hosts and peace and quiet then don't hesitate to stay..
very surprised that's a nice area w/ nice pond view, clean n neat, staff r very polite, good price, I will go again as it's really romantic, just too far away, dont forget to call driver to pick up fm airport
Secluded and very relaxing”
The resort is very beautiful and quiet. the staff is very friendly and accomodating. The internet is good, but wireless. The food is good, but only tha, but very reasonable and clean. Overall a great experience. Well worth the money. It does takes about 20 minutes to the airport, but only about 150 baht trip.. nice people.
Serve's a purpose”
We stayed one night here, after arriving from Australia at 1am. A hotel pick up was included in the rate, but it was never clear through Agoda if the pick up would be there or not. Agoda said to contact the hotel directly, but there was no phone number on Agoda, or the Hotels website. We eventually had to get this directly off Agoda when trying to confirm the pick up. As we were arriving so late and just wanted to get to bed, we wanted to be certain that someone would be there or not. As such, it was no surprise that no one was there on arrival, and with no coins / mobile phone it proved difficult to ring. Eventually someone rang, and the Hotel turned up ~20mins after that (ie about an hour after arrival). We had asked for a Cot for our 21 month old son, but nothing was set up upon arrival. When we asked, about the cot, they ended up just bringing a mattress down to put on the floor. Having arrived so late, we were also looking forward to a long sleep in. Unfortunately the curtains were very thin, and with the white interiors it made for a bright room and no chance of a sleep in. That said, the room was tastefully decorated (surprising given the price), and the bed (King) was very comfortable, and the airconditioning was very very effective (good when overnight lows were 31 degrees)!. The place was very quiet too. Despite no apology about not being there when we arrived, the staff were very polite and friendly, and happily rung our Limo / Taxi (at no charge) to get them to come early. Breakfast was fairly basic, but when you look at how much they normally charge for it, you can see why. Each of the villas were stand alone, and the location over the pond was fairly peaceful, so makes for a good quick stay somewhere close to the airport.
good value all round”
It is obsolete ideal for people staying overnight between one flight and the other Get the hotel phone number to arrange for transfer in case they are not there, they will turn up promptly. I have actually stayed there for four days and the friendliness and helpfulness of the owner and staff more for make up for the basic amenities plus the place is very new therefore clean and well maintained
quiet paradise so near Bangkok.”
hired a car and picked it up at Suvarnabhumi Airport. Nice 20 minute drive to the hotel. We were very pleasantly surprised on arrival at the friendly and welcoming demeanour of the staff and the situation, size and cleanliness of the bungalows. it turned out to be exactly what we wanted, peace and quiet within driving distance of everything we needed. I cannot speak higher praise of this small family run resort, we have now returned for a second time after being so impressed and will continue to do so. just a couple of words of warning; only come here if you are wanting to relax and enjoy peace and quiet (even after the plane stacking due to the volcanic ash there was no aircraft noise, just a nice breeze..) and the hotel location on the agoda map is a few kilometres out of place, so do not rely on a printout to show a taxi driver if they are not employed by the hotel. all in all, for us, a 30 something aged couple, we give here 10 out of 10.
Best Resort in my Thai Trip”
Very nice setting in rural area, not far from Bangkok international airport, Friendly staff, quiet indivisual unit for privacy with private balcony, almost brand new facilities, reasonable room rate, free wireless internet, Perfect almost everything, nice pond view restaurant, comfortable like home away home, thanks Baan Chay Namm Resort staff
Fancy Thai contry style hotel!”
It was 20 min. distance from the airport with free transportation. It was family operated warm house with very friendly people. And impressed with Thailand country style. All the facilities were quite new. After dark, there's nothing around and very quiet. It was great rest for us after energetic city stay. Recommend stop-over before the early morning flight!
All in all, this is just what we were looking for - a quiet place to relax (not too far from the airport) after a VERY long flight. The young lady who seems to always be working in the lobby/restaurant area is exceptional - very friendly, efficient and helpful. The Baan Chay Namm is located in a small village area so if you're looking for excitement - this won't be the area for you. However, it was just what we needed - peace and quiet. Lovely individual cabins that I found to be exactly as shown on the webiste. We plan a stop at the Baan Chay Namm before our return flight. Lovely!
Airport hotel ”
The hotel was clean and quiet . The staff were nice and the view was nice. It was too difficult to communicate with the hotel before arrival. Also the manager was misinformed about the airport check in time and I missed my flght
Quiet and Peaceful”
We used the Baan Chay Namm for two days of recovery having just arrived at the airport. Perfect, peaceful, picturesque, good Thai food on room service or at the restaurant. Close to the airport but we never heard a plane. I mean quiet. No disturbances. The room is well presented and the bathroom is good with a wet-room style shower.
We spent only one night here as we were just passing through Bangkok. We hadn't made proper arrangements for the shuttle to pick us up so we took a taxi and had some difficulties. The hotel is out of the way and the taxi driver couldn't find it - we drove in circles for quite some time - if you have to use a taxi make sure you have a map and the phone number of the hotel. We did finally arrive and spent a pleasant afternoon and evening. The cabins are furnished quite simply but are clean and comfortable. The staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and the food was very good. We had an early flight and they ensured that someone was on hand to drive us to the airport which is only about 20 minutes away. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a place to relax between flights.
Nice stop-over hotel”
The hotel hotel is located in the middle of a rural area near the airport (15 minutes by car), next to a small village. The tropical surroundings are very peaceful. The hotel is pretty new, the rooms are nice and clean. Each bungalow has a small terrace with a fantastic view of the lush greenery around the hotel. The staff is extremly friendly, but not everybody speaks english. The staff wanted to make our stay in the hotel as comfortable as possible: even though we didn't ask for it, the pond fountain was switched on during dinner just for us (as the only guests that night). Before the transfer to the airport at 6 a.m. the entire staff was trying to make our departure as nice as possible by serving complimentary coffee and by switching on the TV to a european channel, again even though we didn't ask for it. The transfer to the airport was quick (15 minutes) and the driver was very friendly. All in all a great place to stay for a night near the airport.


Timeform's Tony McFadden reflects on the Cheltenham Festival, highlighting four points of interest.
Rewind the clock to a quarter to three on Tuesday afternoon. Popular veteran Vintage Clouds has just led home a 1-2-3-4-5 for British trainers in the Ultima Handicap Chase, giving them a 2-1 lead over the Irish in the Prestbury Cup.
There wouldn't be much for the British to celebrate in the remaining 25 contests, however, as they won only three more races at the meeting and, remarkably, were lucky to secure even that paltry total when you consider Envoi Allen – one of the bankers of the week – fell in the Marsh Novices' Chase and Entoucas probably would have won the Grand Annual had he not hit two out. Still, we'll always have the memories of Porlock Bay digging in to win the Hunters' Chase, eh?
It was a chastening week for British racing, but even when you think you are at rock-bottom things can usually get worse – and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that in 12 months we'll look back with nostalgia on a tally of five winners!
One positive that might come out of the drubbing is that it could lead to British trainers campaigning their horses more aggressively during the winter, leading to fewer of those four-runner fields with long odds-on favourites that serve little purpose and even less in the way of entertainment.
It makes no sense for connections to pass up the possibility of earning good prize-money to wait for Cheltenham, where the Irish Armada lies in wait.
It may have been complete domination for the Irish at the Festival, but one pleasing aspect was that the winners were shared around. Yes, Willie Mullins retained the Leading Trainer Award, snatching the prize on countback following Galopin des Champs' success in the Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle, but few would contest the view that Henry de Bromhead enjoyed the better week.
De Bromhead became the first trainer in history to win the Champion Hurdle (Honeysuckle), Champion Chase (Put The Kettle On) and Gold Cup (Minella Indo), while Bob Olinger showed himself to be a star of the future when displaying an electrifying turn of foot to win the Ballymore Novices' Hurdle. Consider that he also has Envoi Allen, who many consider to be the most exciting horse in training, and it is clear that there is now another powerhouse stable in Ireland.
The majority of the best horses being trained in Ireland will be of little concern to most racing fans – it would be a much bigger issue were they all based in the same yard and routinely ducking clashes with one another.
Now there is the tantalising prospect of the pick of the Mullins string regularly taking on De Bromhead's best, while Gordon Elliott will still be a force to be reckoned with when he returns from his suspension in the autumn. Denise Foster, who has taken over the licence at Elliott's Cullentra House Stables, sent out three winners at the Festival to highlight there is still plenty of talent at the yard, despite some high-profile departures.
Nicky Henderson enjoyed some success at the meeting, winning the Sporting Life Arkle with Shishkin – whose Timeform rating of 171P places him at the top of the novice chase pecking order – and saddling a one-two in the Marsh Novices' Chase with Chantry House and Fusil Raffles.
The Cheltenham Gold Cup, however, was a horror show for Henderson as his two representatives, Champ and Santini, were out of the race with a circuit still to go. Santini's future does not look bright as a change of headgear did not result in him applying himself any better, and he was labouring soon after a mistake at the seventh fence.
Champ had already been pulled up by that point and was never going well after belting the first fence. It was a bitterly disappointing effort from Champ, though there is one positive that his connections can cling to. Champ's RSA Chase success at last year's Festival looked like a strong piece of form at the time and that was confirmed in no uncertain terms by events last week.
Allaho, the third-placed horse in the RSA, ran his rivals ragged in the Ryanair Chase, earning a rating of 178 – the highest of any horse in training – while Minella Indo, the RSA runner-up, landed the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Champ is clearly a horse of remarkable talent and it is too soon to be writing him off after one poor effort.
It's fair to say that the addition of a mares' chase to the Cheltenham Festival programme, at the expense of a really interesting novices' handicap chase, was not met with unanimous approval.
Even Cheltenham supremo Ian Renton conceded that its creation was with the long-term benefit of the mares' programme in mind, rather than in expectation of it being a stellar standalone contest from the outset.
However, the race exceeded all expectations and resulted in one of the most exciting finishes of the meeting as Colreevy fended off stablemate Elimay after a rousing battle up the straight.
There was also more depth to the race than might have been imagined, with 11 going to post and seven of them having reached a Timeform rating that identified them as smart chasers. If the race is of similar quality in most years, then it will be well worth its place on the card.

The Korea Fair Trade Commission is penalizing Apple for hampering its antitrust investigation, and is referring Apple Korea plus one executive for prosecution.
Following its settlement of a local antitrust case, Apple Korea is now to be fined $265,000 by the same authorities for reportedly impeding its investigation. The Korean Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) says that the company, and in particular one unnamed executive, blocked the investigation.
The Korea Herald reports that the unnamed executive physically attempted to deter a related part of the investigation in 2017, but has no further details.
“We have fully cooperated with KFTC, and neither Apple nor any of our employees did anything wrong,” Apple told The Korea Herald in a statement. “We follow the law wherever we operate and strongly disagree with KFTC in this case. We look forward to sharing the facts with the authorities.”
The investigation was concerned with the allegation that Apple had forced phone carriers in the region to pay for warranty services, and for television advertising. The Korean Fair Trade Commission ultimately allowed Apple to propose recompense, without admitting fault.

Trinidad & Tobago, the originator of Caribbean carnivals, recently kicked off the festive season. Lasting a week or even a few months, each island puts a unique spin on the traditional elements that include musical competitions (calypso, soca, steel band), beauty pageant shows (queen, teen) and, of course, elaborate parades that are truly a spectacle. These cultural festivities, which also provide the opportunity to eat lots of traditional food, are one of the main reasons that many people, including those in the Diaspora, continually return to the Caribbean. However, if for whatever reason you can’t make it to the region, below are three international Caribbean carnivals to consider attending.
1. Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival: Toronto, Canada
The Scotiabank Toronto Caribbean Carnival is the largest street festival in North America, attracting more than one million visitors each year. Staged over three weeks each summer, the Scotiabank Toronto Caribbean Carnival is a cultural fusion of music, food, and revelry as well as visual and performing arts influenced by the Caribbean. Revelers dress in elaborate costumes and take over the streets of metropolitan Toronto, dancing to the hypnotic sounds of Reggae, Calypso, Soca, Chutney, Steel Pan, Brass Bands and Hip Hop. Already home to a broad mix of cultures, Toronto welcomes thousands of visitors from the United States and other countries to this exciting celebration of Caribbean culture. This event alone is responsible for generating more than $400 million in annual revenue to the economy of Ontario. The Scotiabank Toronto Caribbean Carnival was previously known as Caribana but was renamed in May 2011.

2. Notting Hill Carnival: London, England
The Notting Hill Carnival has been taking place on the streets of Notting Hill in London, England, since 1966. Held annually during the last August Bank Holiday weekend, the carnival is still growing in popularity, by some estimates attracting more than one million attendees in recent years. The event is led by the West Indian community but attracts people from various countries and cultures to enjoy the weekend of festivities. Festivities typically kick off on Saturday with an open-air event for the entire family, including a competitive performance by national steel bands. Sunday, the activity begins at daybreak with an exciting Jouvert to mark the carnival’s opening. Revelers dance in procession to the pulsating rhythms of African drummers, steel bands, and riddim bands. The early morning revelers will make way for the Children Parade, where the little ones will show off flamboyant costumes and dance along to traditional rhythms and steel bands. In addition to a diverse array of food from around the Caribbean, there will also be performances by visiting calypsonians and new artists from soca and other genres. The Notting Hill Carnival closes with the Monday Parade and Grand Finale, where as many as 60+ bands showcase their magnificent costumes and celebrate the rhythms of mobile sound systems or steel bands.

2. Labor Day Parade/West Indian Carnival: New York, United States
The Labor Day Parade, also known as the West Indian Carnival, is held on the first Monday in September each year, which is recognized as the National Labor Day Holiday in the United States. Staged in the Crown Heights area of Brooklyn, New York, the event attracts between one and three million participants, which include representatives from Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Dominica, Haiti, Saint Lucia, Grenada, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Central and South American countries such as Guyana, Suriname and Belize also participate. Possibly the earliest known carnival street activity in the United States, the West Indian Carnival was started in Harlem in the 1930s by Trinidadian Jessie Wardell and some of her friends. It resembled something more like an indoor costume party until the 1940s, when Wardell finally secured a permit to hold the first street parade. The event’s popularity has ballooned over the years, and it is now one of the biggest calendar events held in the city. It attracts thousands of participants and tourists alike to experience the melting pot of cultures, and especially the influence of Caribbean culture and traditions in the Tri-state area

The second career of Catherine Deneuve is one of the ongoing pleasures of Western cinema. Here’s an actress who became famous for being icy and beautiful, and a half-century later she is matter-of-fact and down-to-earth, warm and unguarded in a way that makes you think that this is what she must have been like all along. This is what she was hiding.
So the later career is not an epilogue or some less-interesting other chapter. Old Deneuve is the fruition of young Deneuve. Young Deneuve was the question, but old Deneuve is the answer, and at 73, she keeps opening up and challenging herself, as in “The Midwife,” in which she is paired with France’s other great Catherine, Catherine Frot. The film is about two women coming to terms with a wounding event from long in the past.

12 stalls affected after fire breaks out at hawker centre in Telok Blangah
An overheated wok caused a fire at a hawker centre in Telok Blangah yesterday morning.
At least 12 stalls were affected after the gas supply was cut as a result, Chinese-language paper Shin Min Daily News reported.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it responded to the fire at 11 Telok Blangah Crescent at 9.08am.
No injuries were reported, said SCDF.
The first firefighter who arrived on the scene observed flames coming from a partially covered wok and tried to extinguish it with water.
However, the flames grew bigger, leading the firefighter to use a dry powder fire extinguisher and a compressed air foam backpack to put out the fire. He was subsequently assisted by other SCDF officers.
The SCDF said the fire also affected a kitchen exhaust duct at the hawker centre.- CHOO YUN TING


Birthday boy John Abraham, who turns 39 today, has managed to bag one more film with a big banner. It’s the sequel of his 2008 hit film Dostana, this time. John has been paired with his good friend Abhishek Bachchan again, as the makers have roped in Katrina Kaif in place of Priyanka Chopra. The film is expected to go on floors, by mid 2012.
Karan Johar, who is the producer of the film tweeted about the definite plans of this sequel, using his Twitter ID. He tweeted, “DOSTANA 2 is definitely starting next year….Script is locked…abhishek and john are ready!!! the boys are back!! Tarun is all set….”
According to rumors, a host of other bollywood stars have been booked to play significant roles in this film. The basic plot of the sequel is expected to remain in line with its prequel. The first installment of the Dostana series, had John and Abhishek portrayed as a false gay couple trying to win the heart of their lady love Priyanka Chopra. How the two actors, actually become a couple forms the part of the story.
The news will be music to the fans of John, as the actor had garnered public attention for his physique in the first part. Year has gone on a pleasant note for the actor, as his films Force and Desi Boyz both have done well at the box office. The actor has also moved on nicely in his personal life, following his breakup with actress Bipasha Basu. The couple was in a relation for almost 9 years and broke up recently. He has since been reportedly dating Priya Runchal, a banker by profession. He has also buried the hatchet with Salman Khan, by promoting his film, Desi Boyz on the Big Boss show which is hosted by Salman. The two reportedly had a tiff back in 2006, on an international tour over some financial issues. As things finally begin to settle down for John, we wish him all the best for his future.

Sixteen cases of intestinal injuries following illegally induced abortion are reviewed. They constituted 2% of all such cases in the study period. Ten were terminal ileal injuries while six were colonic. Colonic injuries were predominantly encountered in the first trimester. The relative fixity of the terminal ileum and pelvic colon may be a factor in the determination of the site of injury. Morbidity and mortality are related to both gestational age and site of injury.

| Abstract|| |
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of odontogenic origin. It is an aggressive neoplasm that is locally invasive and can spread to regional lymph nodes or distant sites such as lung and bones. Histopathology is a vital tool for diagnosis of ameloblastic carcinoma and is also required to differentiate it from ameloblastoma. Its biologic behavior recommends necessity of early diagnosis and prompt treatment. However, due to lack of case reports with long-term follow-up, there is no established treatment protocol for these cases. Here, we are presenting a unique case of ameloblastic carcinoma of left mandible in a 48-year-old female patient treated successfully with resection and reconstruction by fibular graft.

| Introduction|| |
Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor of the odontogenic epithelium with 36.9% occurrence among all the odontogenic tumors. The malignant transformation of ameloblastoma is a matter of debate since years and two variants have been identified – malignant ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma. The extremely rare occurrence of these lesions explains the lack of detailed description about the characteristics of these entities. Slootweg and Muller (1984) and Corio et al. (1987) defined ameloblastic carcinoma as any ameloblastoma with histologic evidence of malignant disease in primary or recurrent tumor, regardless of metastasis. Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant odontogenic neoplasm characterized by aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. The occurrence ratio of ameloblastic carcinoma to malignant ameloblastoma is 2:1.
| Case Report|| |
A 48-year-old female patient reported to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Kanjibhai Manjibhai Shah Dental College and Hospital, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth University, Piparia, Vadodara, Gujarat, India with the chief complaint of an extraoral swelling on left side of the face since 3 years. The swelling was initially small in size and slowly increased and attained the present size. As the swelling was asymptomatic, the patient completely ignored it. During the course of the swelling, the teeth in the region became mobile and exfoliated but still the patient ignored it as it was asymptomatic. Patient was cachectic with history of weight loss. On extraoral examination, a single well-defined swelling [Figure 1] was present on lower third of the left side of face causing facial asymmetry. The swelling was roughly oval in shape and approximately 3 × 4 cm in size. The overlying skin appeared stretched and shiny. On palpation, the swelling was hard and non-tender. Paresthesia was elicited in the left mandibular region extraorally.
On intraoral examination, the left mandibular quadrant was completely edentulous. Buccal vestibular obliteration was present in the same region with proliferative growth covered by slough. The growth was extending from premolar region to 3rd molar region anteroposteriorly. On palpation, the growth was nontender and firm in consistency. Expansion of lingual cortical plate was felt with discontinuation of cortical plate in the premolar region [Figure 2]. Based on the history and clinical findings, a provisional diagnosis of ameloblastoma was made and odontogenic myxoma was included as a differential diagnosis. Due to the cortical plate disruption, the possibility of ameloblastic carcinoma or primary intraosseous carcinoma was also considered for the differential diagnosis.
On radiographic investigation, panoramic radiograph revealed [Figure 3] a large, multilocular lesion involving left side of mandible extending anteriorly from symphysis menti and involving ramus posteriorly. There was expansion of the lower border of mandible. Ultrasonography [Figure 4] showed a mixed hyper and hypoechoic lesion. Plain computed tomography (CT) scan [Figure 5] showed an expansile lobular lesion with multiple septations in the mandibular body and ramus region with thinning of the cortex. There was no evidence of calcification. The CT report stated that the lesion was extending to the left temporomandibular joint and inferior temporal fossa superiorly, close to the alveolar process inferomedially, to the cheek antero-laterally, and posteriorly it had a retro-oral extension. Post-contrast CT [Figure 6] showed irregular enhancement of the tumor. On radiographic investigations, the radiographic diagnosis of ameloblastoma was made and possibility of primary intraosseous carcinoma was ruled out. However, a possibility of ameloblastic carcinoma could not be ruled out.

After radiographic investigations, hemogram was obtained and incisional biopsy was performed. Histopathological examination revealed connective tissue stroma and epithelial islands along with follicles. Connective tissue was predominantly cellular, infiltrated with the follicles, islands, strands, and cords of epithelial cells. Basal cells (lining cells) of some of the follicles were tall columnar in shape showing reversal of polarity. All features resembled ameloblast-like cells and odontogenic epithelium. Connective tissue was also infiltrated with the inflammatory cells chiefly comprising of chronic inflammatory cells. At one focal area, connective tissue was infiltrated with the cords and many single scattered epithelial cells were present showing exceedingly dysplastic like features, extensive cellular and nuclear pleomorphism and an enormous number of abnormal mitotic figures [Figure 7].

With the clinicoradiographic and histopathological examinations, the diagnosis of ameloblastic carcinoma was given. The patient was treated surgically in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery where hemimandibulectomy [Figure 8] followed by microvascular reconstruction with fibular graft was performed. The postoperative period was uneventful.
| Discussion|| |
Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant tumor of odontogenic origin with only 92 cases reported in the scientific literature during 1984–2012. The tumor shows an age distribution of 5th to 7th decade of life with a male predilection. Our case demonstrated ameloblastic carcinoma occurring in a middle-aged woman. Mandible is more commonly seen to be involved as compared to maxilla. Similarly, our case also demonstrated involvement of the mandible.
The ameloblastic carcinoma can develop in cases of long-standing ameloblastomas. Once developed, it shows more aggressive behavior. The most common clinical presentation of ameloblastic carcinoma is a facial swelling with marked perforation of cortical plates and extension into adjacent soft tissues. Our case exhibited similar presentation. The radiographic appearance of ameloblastic carcinoma is consistent with that of ameloblastoma except for occasional presence of some focal radiopacities, apparently reflecting dystrophic calcification. In our case, no calcification was noted on radiographic examination.
WHO (2005) has classified malignant tumors of odontogenic origin. According to which, carcinoma associated with ameloblastoma can be classified as metastasizing (malignant) ameloblastoma or ameloblastic carcinoma. Metastasizing ameloblastoma is the one which shows distant metastasis and the primary tumor demonstrates benign histological features, whereas, ameloblastic carcinoma is described as a tumor that exhibits malignant features along with the features of ameloblastoma with or without metastasis. Ameloblastic carcinoma can be of primary or secondary type. The primary type demonstrates malignancy in the primary tumor. The secondary type consists of malignant changes, which originate in a previously existing ameloblastoma. Our case was of primary type of ameloblastic carcinoma.
In cases of ameloblastic carcinoma, the treatment of choice is extended surgical resection with at least 2-3 cm of bone margins in order to prevent recurrence. This results in recurrence rate of less than 15%. The utility of radiotherapy in cases of ameloblastoma is debatable. Distance metastasis is reported in cases of ameloblastic carcinoma to the lungs, brain, bones and liver which is a serious condition and at times fatal. In our case, the patient did not demonstrate any clinical feature suggestive of distant metastasis and no radiographic evidence of recurrence was noted after one year of surgery. Further investigations to rule out distant metastasis were advised.
| Conclusion|| |
Ameloblastoma demonstrates a spectrum of histologic and biologic behavior ranging from benign to malignant. Therefore, thorough histopathological examination becomes an inevitable step in management of these cases in order to determine their nature and also to guide the treatment plan. Cases showing carcinomatous transformation require prompt surgery and a long-term follow-up.

Another restaurant—this time on the ground floor—has been confirmed for LondonHouse, the swanky hotel at Wacker Drive and Michigan Avenue that’s best known for its tri-level rooftop. Land & Lake Kitchen should open this summer with an entrance outside of the hotel at 85 E. Wacker Dr. LM Restaurant Group, the company behind Troquet in River North, will operate the “upscale, yet casual” 3,500-square-foot eatery.
There are also plans to use the sidewalk space on Wacker Drive for seating. That’s the space right next to the Corner Bakery. Its views of the Chicago River are obscured, but there’s no mistaking the view of Trump Tower, a dominating sight to the north. Inside should feature medium and dark wood accents with a modern classic interior, according to a news release.
Former Troquet chef Tim Davidson is Land & Lake’s executive chef. He plans a menu of American classics. A news release describes those as familiar dishes with local flavors. LM is still working on the beverage program.
Last month, details leaked that Ocean Prime—a pricey Columbus, Ohio-based steak and seafood chain—will also move into the hotel. Oxford Capital Group, the investment group that owns LondonHouse, has yet to confirm that the deal has been finalized.
Take a look at the renderings provided by LM below.

February was a bit hot wasn’t it? What’s going on there? This time last year we were in the grip of the Beast from the East, now I’m looking out the window considering cracking out an icy can of Lilt and slathering on some tanning oil.
February was equally eclectic with its new releases on the sonic front. This month’s playlist could comfortably be sorted into two moods of ‘Chill’ and ‘No Chill’, depending on the forecast. On the ‘Chill’ side is Tiny Ruins’ new one, which pours in your ear like dusk light, and Jessica Pratt’s four-chord daydream ‘This Time Around’. We close out with a sliver of Nivhek’s ethereal new record After its own death / Walking in a spiral towards the house. A mouthful of a title and a tough listen to steal a piece of. If you like what you hear give the whole thing a go end to end.
Then onto the matter of ‘No Chill’, where Ithaca set the world to rights with some truly nasty shred-and-squeal, Surfbort pedal some high-energy casual-love, and our favourite canucks Alexisonfire gear up for a new record and a big ol’ show at Ally Pally.
