Department of Defense/US Navy
A highly anticipated report on the Pentagon’s research into Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), aka UFOs, will be released as early as today. There’s going to be a book-load of background on the Pentagon’s new UAP task force, which examines unknown objects through a national security lens. The Defense Department said last year it takes “any incursions by unauthorized aircraft into our training ranges or designated airspace very seriously…”
The government’s UAP program and the upcoming report have spawned a news cycle that has shot UFO conspiracies back into the mainstream. Despite the hype, the report will almost certainly not contain proof of aliens. Here’s what we know so far.
When will this Pentagon UFO report come out?

Kyrie Irving wants to stay in Boston for a couple more years.
Irving, 26, is entering the final year of the five-year, $94 million contract he signed with Cleveland before the 2015-16 season.
“I’ve shared it with some of my teammates as well as the organization as well as everyone else in Boston. If you guys will have me back, I plan on re-signing here next year,” said Kyrie.
— Boston Celtics (@celtics) October 4, 2018
Rumors all summer had Kyrie leaving Boston to join forces with Jimmy Butler in New York.
“I’m accepting it’s going to be a constant story,” Irving said of the free-agency rumors. “It’s a point in my professional career where it is a big-time decision. I’ve been away from Cleveland officially for a year now, and I’m finally getting acclimated in Boston.”
This was the best possible move for Kyrie outside of landing on a team that is rebuilding.
“Who wouldn’t be a part of this?” Irving told MacMullan. “Who wouldn’t want to be a part of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum and Al Horford and Gordon Hayward? People keep saying, ‘Why won’t he commit to Boston?’
“Well, there are financial implications involved.”
If Kyrie would have signed the extension this summer he could have lost out on $80 million dollars. It made more sense for Irving to wait until 2019 to sign a deal.

It is AMD brand manager suits who created this awkward situation. It still shows AMD is a mature company who dares to take such decisions like putting Intel in it. Imagine Oracle suggesting IBM servers for running their software.

I’d like to begin the second Good Women Innovation Blog by posing you a question: what would the global problems be if everyone had your own personal lifestyle?
Floree asked this of me the other week and it got me thinking of how fundamentally, no matter how environmentally and socially friendly we try to be, there will always be deficits in resource. However, the food crises that faces our world today is not only deeply damaging but also easily reduced if simple steps are taken; knowledge shared and power redistributed.
Few of us grow our own food, most of us buy food, and all of us eat it. So on Tuesday evening we met to learn, to share, and to consider sustainable food consumption and the impact of our current not-so-sustainable practice.
The second Good Women Innovation Lab was a deeply informative evening which left us all reflecting on our own food habits, and more importantly their impact. The evening kicked off with a brief mindfulness practice by our own Good Woman, Pippa. After we had all landed in mind and body in the corner of Impact Hub Islington room (same location as last time but now their wood burner made it smell deliciously of saunas in the wintery climate) Hannah, powerhouse eco-warrior and all round Good Woman shared a startling presentation on the current climate of the global food crisis.
What would the global problems be if everyone had your own personal lifestyle?
In 1980s’ 80% of food in the UK was grown here, whereas today we import 40% of food; ten companies including Coca Cola, Nestlé, P&G and Unilever control most of the worlds food supply. 90% of us only eat one hundred of 35-thousand possible edible plants, and only four(!) provide for 60% of plant calories.
We were all shocked by the level of waste, condition of production and all round ignorance involved in the farm-to-plate journey. One third of global food production is lost or wasted annually, for reasons of unachievable aesthetic standards, poor harvesting practice and food loss during storage and transport. Hannah spoke of how global food production must increase by 70% by 2050 and how the pressures of modern demand are creating issues with crop cultivation and pressures to grow cash-crops, such as coffee and bananas. And this isn’t even touching on the soil damage that is created by modern practice – a pretty bleak picture by anyone’s standards…
Reclaim the Food Chain!
However, there are promising movements to reclaim the food production chain; aquaponics and urban farms such as Growing Underground, FARM:shop in Dalston, and GrowUp are producing veg and fish through simple, energy and space efficient processes. Hannah led us through some simple ways to make a difference: conscious purchasing and consumption; joining the food share revolution with apps such as OLIO and Fare Share, and buying in-season produce. So we learnt that all is not lost!
Following the talk, the conversation kept leading us back to the same thing: education. Stories were shared about how in Latvia, school children are responsible for sections of land, types of crops and, by tending them, they completed assignments. Potatoes not grown? Assignment not passed… In contrary, we reflected on how nutrition and food knowledge has been dropped by the UK curriculum. How now, children design food packaging rather than knowing how to store grains or cook liver. As nostalgic and pastoral as it sounds, there is a lesson in this. With obesity in the UK rising to record heights and the style of food we eat moving more and more to the high-fat end of the spectrum. As Hannah said, it is the first time in history that we have incidences of people being both overweight and malnourished, so it seems logical – obvious even – to reintroduce good food practice into the school rhetoric.
Supermarkets cancel huge orders last minute and throw out mountains of "gone off" food every week
Kate from FeedBack, the organisation making serious waves in the food industry, spoke about some of the projects they run, and some of the absurdities of policy. In spite of continuous offers of donation, Feedback will not accept funding from large supermarkets, which mean they are able to act as a totally non-biased pressure tank. FeedBack, started by Tristram Stuart in 2009, runs ‘Feed the 5000’ a public banquet cooked from 100% waste food, they have an international ‘Gleaning network’ helping to reduce the amount of discarded food from the farming process, and recently they got Tesco to stop cutting their beans at both ends. No biggie. Perhaps the most shocking Kate spoke of was the rate of dumping from large supermarkets, where they cancel huge orders last minute and throw out mountains of “gone off” food every week. Watch more about it below. Kate told us how sell by dates factor in days and days of buffer and as a result FeedBack are campaigning to remove them. They are also making beer from the crusts of loaves used from supermarket sandwiches. It’s called ToastAle, and you can buy it here.
After Kate’s exposé we watched Tristram Stuart, food waste Guru, giving a great TED talk on the global food scandal and what led him to start Feedback that you can see here.
All in all, we left hungry for change and all dispersed into the night thinking a little more deeply about our impending dinners.

Researchers used data to develop a nomogram that identified factors associated with worse prognoses in patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and liver metastases.
Using information from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, researchers developed a prognostic nomogram for patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and liver metastases to help personalize prognoses.
Writing in Scientific Reports, the authors explained the nomogram has satisfactory accuracy and that their findings serve as a guide for development of patient treatment plans.
Although NSCLC accounts for around 85% of lung cancer cases, signs of the condition are not obvious and between 40% and 55% of patients are in advanced stages at the time of diagnosis.
Previous research has revealed liver metastasis serves as an independent poor prognostic factor for this patient population, as “the risk of death in patients with NSCLC in the presence of liver metastases is 1.53 to 2.41 times higher than that of distant metastases from other sites.”
Tumor, nodes, and metastases (TNM) staging is widely used to predict NSCLC prognosis, but several factors can have an impact on its effective implementation. In addition, there is currently no effective model to predict prognosis of patients with NSCLC and liver metastases.
“The nomogram is a simple statistical tool that can meet our needs for a comprehensive clinical model,” the authors wrote. “Nomograms enable rapid calculations as well as higher accuracy and easier-to-understand prognosis compared to traditional TNM staging to assist physicians in clinical decision-making.”
Data from patients included in the SEER database between 2010 and 2015 were used to create the model. All included individuals were at least 18 years old and had a primary site tumor pathologically diagnosed as NSCLC.
Patient factors that could be associated with prognosis were extracted from the data, and individuals were randomly divided into a training group (n = 1375) and a validation group (n = 588) in a ratio of 7:3.
In the training group, the majority of patients were older than 66 years, White, and male. “For tumor characteristics, 54.6% of them were adenocarcinoma, 59.2% were upper lobe, 68.4% were histologic grade 3, and 50.2% were N2,” the researchers said. Throughout the follow-up window, most patients did not receive surgical treatment (97%), 55.7% received chemotherapy, and 42.9% received radiation therapy.
Results showed that females with NSCLC and liver metastases had a better prognosis compared with males, while more advanced T and N stages and larger tumor size were linked with worse prognosis. The researchers hypothesized this could be due to the fact that sensitivity of the tumor cells to treatments like radiotherapy decreases as the tumor grows.
Patients with adenocarcinoma are also more likely to develop liver metastases compared with those with squamous carcinoma and other histological types. “However, the histologic type is not one of the poor prognostic factors for NSCLC patients with liver metastases, which may be due to different chemotherapy regimens for patients with different histologic types,” the authors wrote.
Specific information on targeted therapies and immunotherapies was not available in the SEER database, marking a limitation to the study. Data were also only representative of the US population and findings may not be generalizable.

In yesterday’s Developer Update, Jeff Kaplin announced the return of Overwatch’s Lunar New Year Event which will last for four weeks. Called “The Year of the Dog,” this update brings “awesome and new stuff.” Jeff didn’t detail everything that would be released with the new update, but he did provide some minor details.
The update will bring back Capture the Flag which was introduced last year. The Overwatch team have improved Capture the Flag with some much needed updates.
First, Capture the Flag will no longer have any draws. Instead, a match resulting in a tie will lead to sudden death overtime. During sudden death, both teams’ flags are moved closer to the center of the map. By bringing the flags closer to each other, the Overwatch team guarantees a quick and action filled overtime round.
The developers have also made picking up the flag instantaneous. To balance out this change, they have limited the abilities which flag carriers may use. Any ability that gives invulnerability or greater mobility will cause flag carriers to drop the flag. One example Jeff provided was a flag carrier using Winston’s jump ability will drop the flag.
The Overwatch team wants more offense based Capture the Flag matches with sudden death being a rarity.
Jeff also announced the addition of a new map located in Thailand. This map was developed with Capture the Flag in mind. He stated that Capture the Flag plays “fantastically” on the new map. Jeff described the map as “gorgeous.” One side of the map will have an ancient temple and the other have a much more modern design.
A competitive Capture the Flag season was announced. Those players who reach the top 500 will get a special player icon and spray. All players who place will receive a special spray. The season will last the entire Lunar New Year Event.
The update will bring six legendary skins. It was confirmed in the video that both Mercy and Genji will have a legendary skin up for grabs. In addition to six legendary skins, Jeff teased a highlight intro for “one of the new heroes coming.” It is likely he is referring to the new “Hero 27.”
The Lunar New Year Event begins tomorrow, February 8.

Find Myrtle Grove Hormone Replacement Near You Today
What Is Myrtle GroveHormone Replacement Therapy?
HRT (also known as hormone therapy, menopausal hormone therapy, and estrogen replacement therapy) uses female hormones — estrogen and progesterone — to treat common symptoms of menopause and aging. Doctors can prescribe it during or after menopause.
After your period stops, your hormone levels fall, causing uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, and sometimes conditions like osteoporosis. Myrtle Grove HRT replaces hormones your body no longer makes. It’s the most effective treatment for menopause symptoms.
Menopause and Bladder Control, Kegel Exercises Used in Alternative HRT
Our body is like a well-constructed machine, with every part having a multitude of functions. The human body acts properly because of some important hormones that our endocrine system produces. However, as we begin to age, these hormones become insufficient, thus creating an imbalance and leading our body not to function properly. Hormone deficiencies or hormonal imbalance is one of the major problems both men and women experience as they enter midlife. With extensive research, scientists have come up to a solution for hormonal imbalance called Hormone Replacement Therapy. An almost similar treatment is the Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy, which uses hormones that are entirely identical in chemical structure to those found in the human body.
Hormone replacement therapy is a popular form of medication which is used to reduce the discomforts of menopause in women. When women reach menopause the production of estrogen and progesterone hormones by the ovaries is greatly reduced. They hence experience lots of changes in their bodies and exhibit symptoms which vary from time to time.
Replacement therapies are recommended so as to help ease these symptoms and most women experience a sense of well being after using these therapies for several weeks. There a number of known long-term and short-term benefits associated with the use of replacement hormones.
Replacement hormones reduce stress attacks, headaches, night sweating, and migraines. Women using these hormones also have a reduced chance of succumbing to muscular degeneration and Alzheimer's disease. Estrogen replacement hormones effectively treat symptoms experienced during menopause such as hot flushes and mood swings, vaginal dryness, and burning sensations and loss of vaginal elasticity. Studies also indicate that osteoporosis, a condition associated with the loss of bone density, can be avoided with the use of replacement hormones. This greatly reduces the risk of bone fractures as a result of weakened bones and joints.
Every individual wishes to maintain a youthful appearance. There are several beauty enhancement products available in the market. However, cosmetic products do not provide permanent positive results. They can cause certain complications with the presence of harmful chemicals. As people get older, they lose their charm and youthful appearance. According to the medical survey, this occurs due to the decrease in the hormones in the human body. The natural production gets affected or stopped with aging. The imbalance starts to take place as soon as the individual crosses 20. These changes are experienced by both men and women. There are many reliable clinics in Ohio that offer hormone replacement treatment. It has benefited many individuals in this region.
Hormones are considered to be crucial for the smooth development of the body. They are termed as chemical messengers that flow in the blood systems to promote proper functioning of the mental and physical aspect of human being. There is no denying that with aging, the deficiency starts to occur and thus appropriate measures have to be taken. The reliable clinics have state of the art facilities to offer appropriate solutions to the patients. You can contact experienced and qualified physicians to get detailed information about the entire procedure. Bio-identical hormone replacement therapy is perfectly suited for both men and women. It has proven its worth as an effective medical solution to promote wellness, healthy aging and vitality among the human being.
7 Ways on How to Avoid the Risks Associated with HRT
You've probably heard such terms as perimenopause and postmenopause floated around. These are menopausal terms that refer to the transition into, and out of menopause. It's a normal part of life, one experienced by every woman, at some point. Menopause is characterized by cessation of hormone production of the hormones involved with the regulating of a woman's menses. With the resulting changes in the levels of estrogen and progesterone there are usually changes in a woman's body. There are certain common symptoms; hot flashes, depression and being short tempered. But the level and degree of the various symptoms vary on a case-by-case basis, and may not occur in some women at all.
Peri-menopause lays the groundwork for menopause. The symptoms here may begin years before you experience your last menstrual period and may last up to a year after that. Post-menopause is what you go through after a year without your period-and lasts for the rest of your life. The average age is still an object of debate, some women tend to go well past their 50's, while some barely get to their 40's before it starts. It all varies based on lifestyle choices, genetics and habits among other influencing factors. Some women may have needed to get their 'tubes tied' or their uterus removed but even this does not guarantee a free pass. The ovaries still produce hormones, and they may eventually still experience these symptoms.
The side effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) fall into two categories. First are the immediate side effects, such as headaches, nausea and vomiting and many others. Not all women will experience such side effects, and generally speaking these side effects resolve themselves once the HRT is stopped. Then there are long term risks such as increased risk of breast cancer (and other risks too). These longer term consequences of HRT are not reversible and in some cases are lethal. We'll start by answering the question "What is hormone replacement therapy?" Then we'll look at the advantages of bioidentical hormones, and finally at the side effects and risks associated with hormone replacement therapy.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Now let's look at hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Actually HRT is no longer routinely recommended for relief of menopausal complaints. It's too risky.
For a long time, doctor's thought that HRT was a cure all. Then some major studies, particularly the Women's Health Initiative revealed the risks associated with HRT. But before looking at the risks of HRT, let's make sure that we understand what it is.
The name "hormone replacement therapy" implies that HRT is replacing the estrogen and progesterone lost. It is, but not with the same hormones that our body makes. So its not replacing apples with apples. It's more like replacing apples with watermelons, and that's the main reason for the risks associated with HRT.
Bioidentical Hormones - What Are They?
With publicity about the dangers of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) getting so much publicity, a lot of women are turning to herbs and supplements for hot flashes and other symptoms associated with menopause. Soy, black cohosh, Dong Quai root, and Evening primrose oil have all been promoted for hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. But do they really work? An initial study of 104 postmenopausal women randomized to 40 g daily of soy or a placebo showed a statistically significant reduction in number of hot flashes that was greater for soy (45%) that was greater than the reduction obtained with placebo (30%). Another study of 351 women age 45-55 with two or more hot flash symptoms per day were randomly assigned to black cohosh, multibotanicals, multibotanicals plus dietary soy counseling, placebo or hormone therapy for one year. Only hormone therapy was associated with significant reductions in hot flashes. Taking dietary soy actually turned out to be less effective at stopping hot flashes than taking a placebo for one year.

It’s done. The deadline for South Florida’s Best Block Contest has passed, and now comes the hard part: sifting through scores of submitted photos and videos to pick the outstanding urban places in a region that — judging from the rich and diverse evidence collected here — may have more examples than you think.
You, the reader, will play a role: Starting right away, you can peruse all the entries online and, just for fun, help select a “people’s choice” winner in the video and photo categories. That can be done by “liking’’ the photo entries on Instagram (#sfbestblock) and the videos on YouTube (find the playlist, as well as all the photos, on www.miamiherald/bestblock). The video and photo entries with the most “likes’’ by 11:59 p.m. on Sept. 30 win the popular choice.
An expert panel of five jurors, meanwhile, will begin combing through the submissions to decide the winners and finalists who will receive cash awards for best video and best photo, as well as the big overall prize: South Florida’s Best Block, which will be rewarded with a block party this fall.
Three jury finalists in each of the categories -- that is, best video, best photo, and Best Block -- will be announced in print and online in The Miami Herald after the jury convenes for voting on Oct. 1. The first, second and third cash prizes in video and photo, as well as the Best Block, will be announced soon thereafter at a public exhibit of images from the competition. That exhibit will be followed at a subsequent date by the block party.
One sad note: The jury must proceed without a distinguished member, South Beach and Wynwood developer and urbanist Tony Goldman, who died last week. But his place on the panel will be taken by his lieutenant at Goldman Properties, Joe Furst, who shares Goldman’s vision and expertise on what makes a special urban place.
Just before Monday’s midnight deadline, a last-minute wave of entries brought the total number of videos and photos submitted to 170. Sorry to say, some entries trickled in just past deadline and can’t be included in the competition.
But what’s on hand represents a rich and varied panoply of places stretching from downtown West Palm Beach through Fort Lauderdale and down to Miami and environs, which captured the majority of entries.
The submissions range from the tony and established to the funky and emergent. Entries include some well-trod places — like Calle Ocho in Little Havana, West Palm’s Clematis Street, Miracle Mile in Coral Gables and Espanola Way on South Beach, all of which received multiple entries — to the more out-of-way but clearly deserving of broader exposure, like downtown Wilton Manors in Broward County.
The Miami Herald is sponsoring the competition in partnership with WRLN/Herald News, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation and The Townhouse Center, a nonprofit that promotes redevelopment of urban neighborhoods through construction of human-scaled, multi-use buildings.
It aims to showcase the most vibrant urban streets in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, and discover what makes them so, as South Floridians flock to the region’s reviving downtowns, city neighborhoods and suburban town centers for fun, work and commerce.
The expert panel will judge nominations based on several criteria, including a block’s friendliness to pedestrians, the architecture of its buildings and the mix of activities it hosts, as well as the photo or video presentation.

I've been playing classical and jazz trumpet since the 4th grade. Since then, I had gone on to join multiple honor bands in high school, leading to me attend Juilliard majoring in jazz trumpet. I have spent the last 5 years dedicating myself to performing and teaching the next generation of trumpet.
I am more than happy to teach all ages and levels of players. My specialties include basic trumpet foundational help, lead playing, range, improvisation, sight reading, and training your ear.
I've had the pleasure and honor of playing alongside Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Roy Hargrove, Evan Sherman Big Band, and many more around the country and the world.
high school: all state (3 years), Grammy Band (2 years), nafme all American jazz band (1 year), Next gen orchestra (1 years), Berklee 5 week (1 year), Sf Jazz Allstars (3 years), CJC studio band (3 years), SJA Camp (2 years)
college: Juilliard (2016-2020)Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra (4 performances and 1 album), Evan Sherman Big Band (4 years), Nate Sparks Big Band (4 years), Brazil Tour, Europe Tour, Kyle Athayde Dance Party (4 years)
I love being able to teach the next generation of musicians because my teachers are the reason I am where I am, so I always wanted to be able to help teach the new trumpet players what I learned.
He gave me great and clear instruction and is a great teacher!
Jonah had so many unique exercises and methods that help tremendously with whatever I seem to be struggling with. You learn so much and have so much fun at the same time. He’s really encouraging, sweet, and he makes your playing 10x better. Taking lessons from him made me more confident, higher in my range, and gave me so many improvisation skills and tools that i continue to use. I highly highly recommend him as a teacher to high school or middle school jazz students.
I want to get to get a basic understanding of your current knowledge and how comfortable you are with trumpet. From there, I'll create a personal regiment to target weak spots in your playing and help build upon your strengths. I also want to know who you are and what you want to accomplish
I've learned from the best: Wynton Marsalis, Roy Hargrove, Bobby Shew, Chris Jaudes, Tatum Greenblatt and more.
ive been teaching privately for 5 years or so with around 20 total students during that time, all while attending Juilliard as a full time student.
$30 for half an hour
$40 for a full hour
I've always credited my own success to the great teachers that helped me get there. Teaching has always been something I wanted to pursue so when I had enough knowledge to pass on I started teaching back in high school.
All types. All ages from 7 to 20 years old, from beginners to advanced students.
I had the opportunity to record an album with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, "Black Brown and Beige", playing lead trumpet.
Be prepared to work hard and feel frustrated and understand that it's totally ok to mess up or to not get something the first time. Trumpet takes time to hone and I will be patient.
What do you want to accomplish and how hard are you willing to work to achieve those goals?

b. George Richard Davis Jnr., 30th March 1938, New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A.
d. 10th September 2008, Liburn, Georgia, U.S.A.
George Davis was a New Orleans musician/arranger.
He played guitar, bass, saxophone and oboe and was a composer and label owner.
Born in New Orleans in 1938, George co-wrote and produced Aaron Neville's 1967 million-selling ballad 'Tell It Like It Is.'
George Davis was a childhood friend of Aaron Neville and his brother Art.
He was a member of the Hawketts, who recorded the classic Crescent City hit 'Mardi Gras Mambo.'
Art Neville joined the group, while Aaron Neville began recording with producer Allen Toussaint.
George later teamed with saxophonist Alvin 'Red' Tyler, and ex-school teacher Warren Parker, to start a production company.
Aaron, who hit a 1960 number hit with 'Over You' on Minit Records, was the first act signed to the imprint.
George's writing partner, bandleader Lee Diamond, was a member of Little Richard's Upsetters.
They were a house band for the Cincinnati, Ohio-based King Records imprint.
Lee Diamond passed on a partial piece of work to George, which developed into the full song titled 'Tell It Like It Is' which became one of four songs recorded by Aaron at Cosimo Matassa's studio in 1965.
George began to promote the recording of 'Tell It Like It Is' to various record labels in New Orleans then in New York, however, it was received with a limited enthusiasm.
In 1966, he and his partners started Parlo Records and pressed about 2,000 singles of 'Tell It Like It Is' and forwarded it to various local radio stations.
As the songs poularity grew, recording studio owner Matassa handled orders for the song.
'Tell It Like It Is' held the number one R & B spot for four weeks and went to number two pop on Billboard's charts in early 1967.
The flip side was the song 'Why Worry'.
A follow-up to the hit never materialised and Parlo shortly folded thereafter.
Aaron Neville, said he never received a gold record plaque for 'Tell It Like It Is'.
The song was, however, awarded one from Collectables Records on a segment of The Arsenio Hall Show during the late '80s.
Aaron received a gold record with 'Don't Know Much,' a 1989 number two Pop hit on Elektra and a 1991 number eight pop hit with his cover of the Main Ingredient's gold 1972 number two R & B / number three pop hit 'Everybody Plays the Fool' on A & M.
George sadly died from heart failure in 2008.

Mexico: Hot, Humid and Hospitable
When I mentioned that I would be going to Mexico many people showed concern, “Are you sure?”, “Is it safe?” Even though it had been in the news with some not so welcoming and down right scary stories I wasn’t afraid or put off. First of all, I wasn’t going anywhere near those horror stories, and secondly I always say, ‘if I want to travel I can’t let a few stories hold me back, life is too short.”
And so for my best friend’s wedding I headed off to Mexico for my first visit. Flying into Cancun’s airport we were welcomed by sun and it was here that I encountered a perhaps anxiety inducing situation that instead made me giggle. There at the airport check point each individual was ushered up to a large red button. This button once pressed would randomly choose from green – you can go, or red – you must stop and you and your luggage will be checked over. I stepped up and felt like I was on a game show more than I was at an airport security check point.
Our drive from the airport, along the Yucatan Peninsula was stunningly beautiful. The striking sunshine and hot Caribbean heat was on our side all week long. We arrived at Akumal Beach Resort an hour later. It was a relatively small resort yet quaint and had everything you needed. Right on the beach it was like our own slice of paradise. We were immediately welcomed by the smiling and friendly front desk staff who sent help to show us to our rooms. My room struck me with its pleasant warm orange hue with a balcony overlooking the picturesque palm trees on the resort and the beautiful ocean.
After settling in I set out to explore the grounds. I was surrounded by pretty palm trees, gorgeous red hibiscus flowers, tranquil waves brushing the shores and brilliant white soft sand. I searched for more, of course me, Lady of the Zoos, was looking for wildlife. On one side of the resort I scarcely saw a soul, yet I saw plenty of iguanas everywhere basking in the heat of the sun. Throughout my stay I encountered various new bird species, some comical, like the bird almost hanging upside down from the palm trees like a bat, and some that almost brought an excited tear to my eye as I had always wanted to see them, like the Magnificent Frigatbird. Another unique and amazing aspect of Akumal Beach Resort is that it is the site where many sea turtles come to nest and lay their eggs every year. The resort and its staff hold these tiny treasures close to heart and are very protective of them. They section off each nest site, date it and are always on the lookout and ask it’s visitors to be respectful to these gentle giants that swim off it’s shore.
It was hard not to feel overwhelmed with the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, the friendly and hospitable staff like server Wilber, who made us all feel right at home and even knew our names like a character out of Cheers. Then there was Ricky who seemed to be ‘the man’ to entertain whether with dancing at the bar at night, performing in comedy shows or beach events. He was made for the part, he was friendly, funny and his smile was infectious.
A group of us decided to take advantage of a day trip that would take us to a sampling of Mexico and the Mayan culture. First was an epic visit to Coba. Built between two lakes during 600 – 900 A.D., Coba’s main pyramid Nohoch Mul (meaning ‘large hill’) is the highest on the Yucatan Peninsula at 138 feet tall (42 meters). Of the estimated 6,000 ancient structures only a few are restored and uncovered.
We unloaded from the shuttle bus and were immediately moist from the humidity, what a difference the ocean made to the temperature. Welcome to the interior of Mexico! Sticky but excited we headed into the forest and down the trails as our guide introduced us to some of Coba’s ancient life. From stele (which are large stone slabs with drawings and Mayan glyphs on them), one dating back to 780 A.D. to ballgame courts, not unlike a Roman sports complex. Then it was the long, hot and humid trek along the white road (also known as a sacbe – roads constructed by the Maya for travel and commerce) towards Nohoch Mul. Many people opted for a rickshaw type of transport but I wanted to walk the path as many Mayan’s had before me.
Like when I was walking along the cobblestones around the Coliseum in Rome, here at Coba walking the white road I could feel the energy of people past, the thrum of life that once was. Along the path, amongst the forest were more ancient structures and trees growing out of rocks, birds, lizards and beautiful bromeliads. After a slow trek I arrived in the shadow of Nohoch Mul. I’ve seen ancient buildings in Italy and Stonehenge in England but nothing compared to seeing this massive pyramid standing in the middle of the rainforest. We all looked like termites scurrying around a large termite mound. I was awestruck! Though sadly my fear of heights and vertigo kept me grounded I watched as some of my friends climbed it’s steep stairs towards the magical vista the summit offered.
Next on the agenda was a cenote. Wikipedia describes a cenote as “a deep natural pit resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath.” They were sometimes used by the ancient Mayans for sacrificial offerings. What it offered us was a refreshing coolness, a great way to recharge after the heat and humidity from above. We entered through what looked like an old well and walked down the steps into an eerie peaceful oasis. There was a small hole above that allowed some light into the cave and played off the stone walls and hanging tree roots. The water was crystal clear. It felt like it was a scene out of Journey to the Center of the Earth.
After an authentic Mexican lunch across from a small lake where hundreds of butterflies fluttered and various birds perched we headed to our last stop at a Mayan Village. Off a dirt road we awkwardly entered a family’s yard. I felt intrigued but sad and strange to be walking around where they called home, but through our tour they are given money – at least that’s something. There were a few huts and one large one where the mother made crafts as well as a traditional type of pita bread. It was here that I first spotted the family’s pet black spider monkey – though not in the traditional scenes of pet – it wasn’t wearing a ridiculous outfit or chained or caged, it had free rein. While we scattered around the village the monkey hung out in the trees watching us. There were numerous other local wildlife that were kept in the village such as a pair of playful coatis, a stunning toucan and a family of peccary (of the wild pig family) that even had wee little babies scampering around. It was cute to see the children following us around, curious, and all came to the entrance to see us off. It was a good reminder of how different family life can be for others in different countries.
I had a fantastic time in Mexico, being witness to different cultures, seeing its wildlife and wild spaces like Coba and even taking relaxing walks along the beach towards Akumal, passing the picturesque anchored boats in the shallows. I felt safe. I felt content and I felt at one with the World.
Did the safety of a place, like Mexico, ever scare you away from travelling there?

Is building our own starship Enterprise possible? Will we ever travel between the stars as easily as they do in Star Trek? JJ Abrams' new feature, Star Trek Into Darkness, hits the screen in a golden age of scientific discoveries. HISTORY is there, giving viewers a deep look behind the scenes, on the set, and into the science–amazing new exoplanets, the physics of Warp drive, and the ideas behind how we might one day live in a Star Trek Universe.
Take a look back at many of the most fascinating science stories of 2017, a year full of stunning advancements in individual fields of study, from astronomy to biology, geology to history – when we piece these discoveries together we see the year in a new light.
2017 • Science
Dame Sally Davies talks to Brian Cox about her interest in antibiotic resistance and admiration of Alexander Fleming and Howard Florey for their development of penicillin.
Questions of good and evil, right and wrong are commonly thought unanswerable by science. But Sam Harris argues that science can -- and should -- be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life.

Fylde teenagers used fake IDs bought on Snapchat to illegally obtain alcohol
A group of teenagers were caught with a stash of fake IDs which they were using to buy alcohol, Fylde police said.
Officers were out on patrol around Lytham Green, the windmill and the surrounding areas at the weekend due to recent reports of anti-social behaviour there.
A spokesman said: "Several youths were stopped by local police patrols during the weekend. It was found that these youths were in possession of fake IDs, which we were informed had been purchsed via an account on Snapchat. We believe that this account is charging £25 to create these IDs, which are then being used in the local shops to buy alcohol.
"We are asking parents to speak with their children with regards to this matter. It is a criminal offence to use false or borrowed ID to buy alcohol. The maximum penalty is a £5,000 fine and 10 years imprisonment. Shops that sell alcohol to underage persons using fake ID's can also recieve large fines and in some cases be shut down.
"Local police patrols will be continuing with spot checks this weekend to actively tackle anti-social behaviour in this area. Visits will be conducted to local shops selling alcohol and information passed to Trading Standards."


The Katsina State Police Command has arrested four bandits, identified as Isiya Halliru, Nasiru Bature, Bello Hamza, and Hassan Iliyasu over alleged castle raiding and as well recovered 208 animals from the suspects.
It was learnt that bandits were apprehended with 170 cows and 38 sheep suspected to be rustled animals by the personnel of the law enforcement agency after their operations in Kankara and its environs.
The Katsina Police Command spokesman, Gambo Isah, who confirmed the development in a statement made available to The Guild, disclosed that the suspects’ arrest followed credible intelligence received on 10 May 2011.
In the statement released on Tuesday, Isah said the command succeeded in smashing a notorious syndicate of bandits terrorizing Kankara and its environs.
He noted that during investigations, the suspects confessed that the animals belonged to their masters living in the dreaded Rugu forest.
The police spokesman further said that the animals’ owners failed to show up and claim ownership of the animals.
Isah said that the animals have already been handed over to the State’s Standing Committee for further necessary action while investigation n the case was ongoing.


Oracle's gargantuan $28.3 billion acquisition of health care data company Cerner, the largest deal in its 44-year history, is not just about electronic patient records. From algorithmic systems that predict the likelihood a patient will contract sepsis to tech that tracks hospital bed capacity, Cerner will bring an array of cloud-based data analytics and AI technologies to Oracle as it competes with Amazon Web Services, Google, IBM and others to serve the health care industry's data and AI needs. In fact, the deal is poised to shift some business away from AWS, which Cerner named as its preferred cloud partner in 2019. Oracle's acquisition of Cerner, a company that got its start in health care IT in 1979, is expected to close in 2022. The all-cash deal is also expected to improve Oracle's bottom line in its first year, the company said in a press release.
The ubiquitous availability of computing devices and the widespread use of the internet have generated a large amount of data continuously. Therefore, the amount of available information on any given topic is far beyond humans' processing capacity to properly process, causing what is known as information overload. To efficiently cope with large amounts of information and generate content with significant value to users, we require identifying, merging and summarising information. Data summaries can help gather related information and collect it into a shorter format that enables answering complicated questions, gaining new insight and discovering conceptual boundaries. This thesis focuses on three main challenges to alleviate information overload using novel summarisation techniques. It further intends to facilitate the analysis of documents to support personalised information extraction. This thesis separates the research issues into four areas, covering (i) feature engineering in document summarisation, (ii) traditional static and inflexible summaries, (iii) traditional generic summarisation approaches, and (iv) the need for reference summaries. We propose novel approaches to tackle these challenges, by: i)enabling automatic intelligent feature engineering, ii) enabling flexible and interactive summarisation, iii) utilising intelligent and personalised summarisation approaches. The experimental results prove the efficiency of the proposed approaches compared to other state-of-the-art models. We further propose solutions to the information overload problem in different domains through summarisation, covering network traffic data, health data and business process data.
I t wasn't long ago that technology was a topic only discussed among techies. In fact, technology was an elective course in many graduate school programs until very recently. Today, technology is part of our daily lives so it's not surprising that technology is very much a part of any industry. It's also not surprising to see the direction technology has taken. It has evolved from a way to communicate with each other and store important information, to a way to interact with each other, express ourselves and manage our lives. The drive to monetize our personal information for the purpose of creating the latest and greatest target marketing algorithm has paved the way for artificial intelligence or AI. Google was a pioneer and early adopter of this type of AI, gathering information about our interest based on our searches and pairing businesses and products we would likely use. It is this type of AI that brings customers to businesses like an arranged marriage. Collection of data through cloud-based applications originally created for business solutions slowly evolved for consumer convenience for everything from banking to entertainment. Amassing raw data to create solutions for everyday activities helped to speed the process of AI for the birth of AI. Had we not partaken in taking information once only saved on our desktops and placing it on cloud servers, AI may not have evolved into the presence of daily life today. Years ago, reluctance and lack of understanding of how digital information is used kept many people who are not computer savvy from partaking in this community. Today, thanks to companies like Facebook and Amazon, people readily share their information with companies with a basic trust that the information will only be used for the purpose intended. This is why, even though the information is occasionally breached, we are so willing to join communities like Citizens app and Waze which use crowd sourcing for the collective purpose of helping each of its participants. Crowd sourcing applications can then place ads as a form of revenue, though not all do. This rather invasive, though passive, business model hones in on our inherent need to share information in order to benefit from the information shared by others.

SpaceX is preparing for liftoff Tuesday of its first mission for the U.S. Space Force, a launch from Cape Canaveral that will deploy a new GPS navigation satellite using a redesigned profile to allow the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage booster to reserve enough propellant for landing on SpaceX’s drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean.
The launch profile adjustment to make landing of the Falcon 9 booster possible ended up saving “several million dollars” for the military from the original SpaceX launch contract value of $96.5 million, according to Walter Lauderdale, mission director for the GPS SV03 launch from the Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center.
The U.S. Space Force’s third GPS 3-series navigation satellite is set for liftoff from Cape Canaveral’s Complex 40 launch pad during a 15-minute launch window opening at 3:55 p.m. EDT (1955 GMT) Tuesday. There’s a 60 percent chance of favorable weather, according to a forecast issued by the Space Force’s 45th Weather Squadron.
Built by Lockheed Martin, the spacecraft will join two previous GPS 3 satellites launched by SpaceX in 2018 and by United Launch Alliance last year.
Tuesday’s mission is the first by SpaceX for the Space Force since the establishment of the new military branch in December.
“This is our first U.S. Space Force launch, and we’re really excited about it and hope this is the first of many, many of those launches in the future,” said Lee Rosen, SpaceX’s vice president of customer operations and integration.
During a nearly 90-minute launch sequence, SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket head northeast from Cape Canaveral and propel the 9,505-pound (4,311-kilogram) GPS 3 SV03 spacecraft into an elliptical transfer orbit ranging between about 250 miles (400 kilometers) and 12,550 miles (20,200 kilometers) in altitude. The Falcon 9’s on-board computer will aim to release the GPS 3 SV03 satellite into an orbit inclined 55 degrees to the equator.
On SpaceX’s first launch of a GPS navigation satellite in December 2018, military officials required the launch company to devote all of the Falcon 9 rocket’s capacity to placing the spacecraft into orbit. That meant SpaceX could not install landing legs on the Falcon 9’s first stage or attempt recovery of the booster.
SpaceX lands, refurbishes and re-flies Falcon 9 first stages to reduce costs, and it is the only launch company that currently reuses rocket hardware.
The launch of the GPS 3 SV03 mission Tuesday is the first flight with a high-priority national security satellite that will reserve propellant for landing of the rocket. SpaceX has recovered rockets on previous launches with military payloads, such as a Falcon Heavy mission last June, but those missions carried experimental technology demonstration and research satellites — not operational spacecraft like a GPS satellite.
On SpaceX’s first GPS launch in 2018, the military required the Falcon 9 rocket to place the spacecraft into an orbit with a higher perigee, or low point, of more than 740 miles, or about 1,200 kilometers. Teams also loaded extra fuel into the GPS spacecraft as an extra precaution.
It was the first high-priority national security payload to launch on a SpaceX rocket, and it was also the first satellite in a new design of GPS spacecraft.
“Simply put, there was insufficient performance given the mission trajectory and payload weight, combined with the uncertainties associated with this demanding mission,” Lauderdale said.
“Our evaluation of that mission’s performance, combined with additional work with SpaceX, reduced uncertainty in many areas,” Lauderdale said. “When we approached SpaceX to revise some spacecraft requirements for this mission … they responded with an opportunity to recover the booster in exchange for adding these requirements, as well as other considerations.”
Officials are now more comfortable with the performance of the Falcon 9 rocket and the new GPS 3-series satellite design. That allowed engineers to load less propellant into the third GPS 3 satellite.
Mission planners also changed the perigee of the spacecraft’s initial orbit after launch from around 740 miles to 250 miles, according to Col. Edward Byrne, senior materiel leader at SMC’s Medium Earth Orbit space systems division.
“All that required from us was to reassess our burn profile, so we made some slight modifications to that burn profile, but there’s been no mission impact associated with the booster recovery option,” Byrne said in a pre-launch conference call with reporters.
One change to the Falcon 9 rocket requested by the Space Force for the GPS SV03 mission is a gray band of thermal insulation on the launcher’s upper stage. The thermal layer will help maintain kerosene fuel at proper temperatures during a nearly one-hour coast phase between the first and second burns of the upper stage’s Merlin engine.
SpaceX has tested the thermal layer before, but it did not fly on the first GPS 3 launch in 2018. The company has experimented with long-duration coasts of the Falcon upper stage to gather data before the first dedicated launch of a national security payload on SpaceX’s triple-core Falcon Heavy rocket late this year.
Military engineers charged with overseeing the design and production of SpaceX rockets for national security missions assessed numerous configuration changes since the Falcon 9’s first launch of a GPS satellite in 2018.
“Since the GPS 3 launch in December 2018, we’ve worked with SpaceX to stay current on the configuration of the Falcon 9, evaluating 665 changes,” Lauderdale said. “This enabled us to maintain the vehicle technical baseline that is the foundation of our independent mission assurance.”
The military has contracted with SpaceX to launch the fourth, fifth and sixth GPS 3 satellites. Assuming the launch of GPS SV03 goes according to plan, the SV04 mission could launch from Cape Canaveral on a Falcon 9 rocket as soon as Sept. 30, according to the Space and Missile Systems Center.
The GPS SV05 spacecraft is scheduled for launch on a Falcon 9 rocket in January.
Space Force officials have not yet approved SpaceX to launch critical national security satellites using previously-flown boosters. SpaceX has re-launched Falcon boosters 37 times to date with a 100 percent success record.
Lauderdale said the SMC mission assurance team is becoming more familiar with how SpaceX refurbishes rockets in between flights.
“I can’t commit to when we’ll be ready,” he said Friday, referring to when the military could launch a national security payload on a reused Falcon 9 booster.
SpaceX is building an all-new Falcon Heavy rocket for a national security launch late this year, and the company is expected to use a brand new booster for the next GPS launch no earlier than Sept. 30.
The military is currently considering proposals from four companies — SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin and Northrop Grumman — in the next round of launch service procurements. Lauderdale said the military will allow launch service providers who win the the so-called “Phase 2” contracts to bid reused rockets for national security space launches in an effort to reduce costs.
“As a program, we are open and ready and looking forward to whatever industry wants to make available to us, but predominately we’ve been looking at the Phase 2 competition as that opportunity,” Lauderdale said.
The GPS 3 SV03 spacecraft awaiting launch Tuesday will use its on-board propulsion system to circularize its orbit after separation from the Falcon 9 rocket. It’s expected to enter service later this year.
Both of the previous GPS 3-series satellites are healthy, according to the U.S. Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center. They were “set healthy” and officially entered the operational GPS constellation Jan. 13 and April 1, an SMC spokesperson said.
The launch of the GPS 3 SV03 spacecraft is timed to inject the satellite into Plane E, Slot 4 of the GPS constellation. That position is currently occupied by a GPS satellite launched May 10, 2000, from Cape Canaveral on a Delta 2 rocket. Military officials did not say whether that satellite, which was originally designed for a 10-year mission, will be decommissioned or moved to another slot in the GPS network.
The GPS satellites are spread among six orbital planes, each with four primary spacecraft, plus spares. Byrne said Friday the GPS constellation currently consists of 31 satellites.
The GPS network provides positioning and timing services worldwide for military and civilian users, beaming signals relied upon by airliners, ATMs, drivers and smart bombs, among numerous other users.
“The Global Positioning System has become part of our critical national infrastructure, from transportation to financial markets to energy grids to the rideshare industry,” said Tonya Ladwig, acting vice president of Lockheed Martin’s navigation systems division. “It’s no longer a matter of did you use GPS today. It’s a matter of how many times did you actually use it.”
The GPS 3 satellites provide more accurate navigation signals and boasting longer design lifetimes of 15 years. The new GPS 3 satellites also broadcast e a new L1C civilian signal that is compatible with Europe’s Galileo network and Japan’s Quasi-Zenith Satellite System.
Other space-based navigation networks operated by Japan and China are also adopting similar compatible signals.
Like the previous line of Boeing-built GPS 2F satellites, all GPS 3-series spacecraft broadcast a dedicated L5 signal geared to support air navigation. The GPS 3 satellites also continue beaming an encrypted military-grade navigation signal known as M-code.
The M-code signal allows GPS satellites to broadcast higher-power, jam-resistant signals over specific regions, such as a military theater or battlefield. The capability provides U.S. and allied forces with more reliable navigation services, and could also allow the military to intentionally disrupt or jam civilian-grade GPS signals in a particular region, while the M-code signal remains unimpeded.
L3Harris Technologies builds the navigation payloads for the GPS 3 satellites.
Ladwig said the GPS 3 SV04 and SV05 spacecraft are complete and in storage awaiting launch, and the next three satellites are fully assembled and undergoing environmental testing. SV09 and SV10 are currently being assembled at Lockheed Martin’s GPS satellite factory near Denver.
Lockheed Martin is on contract with the Defense Department to build 10 GPS 3 satellites — two of which have launched — and up to 22 upgraded GPS 3F-series satellites.

“In 2007 our NYC chapter worked with the city to develop post disaster scenarios in case the city was hit by a hurricane. Disaster preparedness matters.”
Among other predictable containers-as-shelters-solutions for an hurricane aftermath, the selected entry titled CLOUD CITY (Ostap Rudakevych, Gretchen Stump, Erik Jostock) proposes inflatable cloud homes in order for New Yorkers, to stay near their houses during reconstruction. They preview a project for phases, from construction of a unit, agglomeration of units, up until final deconstruction:
The concept for CLOUD CITY is based on the desire to allow people to remain in their community, and as close to their homes as possible. This will allow residents to remain an active part in the rebuilding of their community, while fostering a sense of security. The way to achieve this is to literally float a layer of provisional housing over the damaged or destroyed portions of Prospect Shore.
Inflatable homes would be pre-fabricated and stored in warehouses for deployment as required. Each home consists of three basic components: an inflatable bladder, a rigid core, and metal and wood platform. The bladder would consist of two compartments, filled with pressurized helium (which is non-combustible). The pressurized gas would give shape to the tailored and stitched fabric shell, creating an open living space.
Made from recycled polyester fabric, the balloon has a large surface area suitable for mounting of flexible solar panels for generating electricity. Within this living space is a rigid core which contains an efficient kitchenette and bathroom, along with plumbing and electrical services. The 300sf living space is open, and can be configured in many ways, with up to three bedroom spaces suitable for a family of four. The metal and wood platform is composed of recycled aluminum structural members, and salvaged wood flooring. It is designed to be lightweight and to facilitate storage and transport.
The homes can be rapidly deployed with minimal site preparation. Upon completion of the survey and basic infrastructure upgrades, the homes can be shipped to the site. They are intended to ‘plug in’ to existing utility services, and can be deployed by a team of four workers in roughly an hour. Once in place, access to the floating home is gained by lowering the entire home to the anchorage point (either an old rooftop, or temporary boardwalks). A keyed hand cranked winch would guide the home lower to allow for even the mobility impaired to gain easy access via the gangplank. The homes are minimally appointed, in an effort to reduce overall fabrication costs. They are fully reusable, and can be stored indefinitely.
Once airborne, the floating homes allow construction crews below to work unimpeded, speeding up the recovery effort. This in turn reduces cost overruns and unnecessary delays. Though perhaps an unusual proposal, CLOUD CITY is literally an uplifting living experience that will allow communities to remain intact as they pull themselves out of the rubble. It will provides residents with a new perspective on their community and the greater city as a whole.

Do I Really Need a Root Canal?
If you’re suffering from a constant toothache and pain, a root canal might be needed. In addition to relieving the pain and discomfort it can also prevent bacteria from spreading from the tooth to the rest of your mouth. A tooth infection can cause serious health issues.
The symptoms of the effects of a root canal
One of the initial signs of root canals is the sensation of pain. The pain will be worse if you chew on your tooth or apply pressure to it. The tooth can also be sensitive in response to temperature fluctuations. The affected tooth may also appear yellowed or brown, in addition to the pain. These signs can be very severe , therefore it is vital to visit your dentist as soon as you notice any signs.
Other signs are a cracked or chipped tooth. These symptoms are common in contact sports and also when you eat foods that are hard. Additionally, bacteria can cause infection, which results in pain and swelling. In some instances the infection could be serious. If the infection is not treated, it could spread to the jaw and face.
The signs of a root canal may differ from one person to another however, some of them are similar enough to prompt you to see your dentist. To avoid further complications, it is important to get a checkup if you suspect that you might require a tooth root canal. The treatment for a root canal can protect your tooth from further decay and infection.
Another sign that you require an appointment for a root canal is swelling around the tooth that is affected. If the infection is spreading to the gums, you may have an abscess or tooth infection. This can be treated with the root canal. It is possible to experience discomfort in your teeth as well as sensitivity to hot or cold, or gum swelling.
Your dentist should be consulted immediately if you feel pain in your teeth. Your dentist can use endodontic techniques to remove the infection. In certain instances, your dentist may extract the tooth. Regardless of the method used it will trigger an unpleasant recovery. It is imperative that you consult a dentist as quickly as possible if you suspect you have a root canal.
Root canals are sometimes successful, but they may also fail. This is when the initial treatment isn’t enough to eliminate the infection completely. The infection may return, creating symptoms that persist for months. The signs of a failed root canal include tooth discoloration, swelling or pimples on the gum. In the most severe instances, the infection can develop to other teeth making it more difficult to save the tooth.
Root canals heal quickly and symptoms usually go away within a few days. Soreness that is mild can last from 24 to 48 hours. However, it can be easily treated with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately. Consult your dentist if you feel pain after the procedure to ensure that you do not develop an infection.
Although the pain following the procedure is usually minor, it’s important remember that you are still healing. There is a possibility of sensations of sensitivity following the procedure because of the inflammation of the tooth tissue. However, over-the-counter pain relievers can help ease this discomfort and make it easier to move around and take food.
After a root canal procedure, you will be numb for a while. Avoid chewing on hard surfaces for a few days. Avoid hot drinks as they can cause damage to your teeth. However, once the numbness is gone it is possible to eat soft food again. As your levels of comfort improve you can gradually introduce foods that are solid.
A root canal treatment can save your tooth. The procedure can require many visits to the dentist. It is a standard procedure. It is possible to recover from a root canal by paying attention to the body’s signals. Depending on the severity of your problem you might experience swelling and discomfort.
The majority of root canals only take a few days to heal. However, some suffer problems following the procedure and may require several days to fully recover. The severity of the infection the complexity of the treatment, and your general health can all impact the time required to complete an operation called a root canal. To avoid complications, you should consult with your dentist.
Root canals take less time to heal than tooth extractions. If you feel pain after the procedure, it’s crucial to visit a dentist immediately. The dentist will be capable of treating the issue right away, but you may need to wear a mouthguard for some time.
If you’re suffering from the root canal, you will find relief from pain in a variety of ways. A cold compress can be applied to the affected area to ease swelling and pain. Achieving a higher level of the tooth can also help to minimize discomfort. You can apply this technique several times a day. In addition applying a cold compress to the affected area You can also apply the frozen bag of vegetables as a home remedy.
The majority of root canal pain will ease within several days. If you are experiencing persistent pain, it is a good idea for you to visit a dentist , or an endodontist. Root canals are usually outpatient procedures that can be done by an endodontist using local anesthesia. The healing process is swift. However, between 3 and 6 percent of patients could be in pain for a long time following the procedure. To reduce discomfort and avoid infection, it’s essential to follow the guidelines of your dentist as quickly as possible.
Anti-inflammatory medicines can also aid in alleviating pain after an extraction. Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB) and Ibuprofen (Tylenol) are both common over-the counter medicines that work well for pain relief. However, you should always discuss the use of prescription medications or supplements with your dentist. Moreover, you should avoid eating foods that are hard to chew after having a root canal, as this can cause pain and discomfort.
Root canals are a common procedure to restore natural teeth. The dentist will administer anesthetic to the patient and then remove the affected pulp and bacteria. The tooth is then sealed using a safe material. Although root canals can be painful, most patients do not experience any significant pain afterward. Some patients may feel some discomfort, but this will disappear within a couple of hours.
In addition to a root canal patients must maintain regular oral hygiene to ease the discomfort following. Although the pain will lessen within a few days, it is recommended to avoid grinding your teeth. Relaxation techniques such as yoga and meditation can be beneficial for some patients.
It doesn’t matter if you need the services of a root canal
Root canals are an easy procedure that relieves pain and protect the integrity the tooth. It is usually performed after an accident or cavity has caused damage to the tooth, resulting in an extensive infection. The infection could affect the nerve inside the tooth, which is the reason root canal therapy is necessary.
Some signs that you might require a root-canal include sensitive gums or teeth that are discolored. It could be a straightforward tooth stain, or more serious infection. Infected teeth can develop an abscess which is a pocket of pus caused by the infection. If you notice any of these signs, you should visit a dentist as soon as possible. If the abscess has become severe, it can lead to an unpleasant taste in the mouth or even cause difficulty breathing.
The symptoms of a root canal may vary depending on the severity and type of the infection. Consult your dentist to determine if you require the procedure. It’s a good idea to seek treatment if you have had a recent injury or a tooth that has been damaged in the past, to see your dentist immediately. Even a small chip can let harmful bacteria into the tooth and create the conditions for an infection that can be serious.
A root canal may be used to save teeth. A cavity treatment involves filling the tooth with composite material and then taking out decay. A root canal removes the entire tooth structure. The procedure is required when bacteria have infected or exposed the pulp, which is at the center of a tooth’s vital structure. The bacteria that have invaded the pulp can cause rest of the tooth to die if it is not treated. An infection in the pulp may get into the bloodstream and cause serious health issues.
A root canal may cause a dull ache or sharp pain. The pain could be caused by sensitiveness to cold and hot liquids. Teeth discoloration may also be caused by a root canal. The infection in the tooth’s pulp can cause a tooth’s surface to turn grayish-black, or even completely discolored.

Synopses & Reviews
Renowned garden photographer Mick Hales has traveled around the globe to capture some of the greatest gardens in the world. Large and small, elaborate and intimate, public and private, tropical, subtropical, and temperate, all manner of gardens are featured in this lavish book filled with spectacular photographs. Designed in the same format as the best-selling "Earth From Above: 365 Days, the book shows these magnificent gardens to their best advantage, capturing all their texture, color, and light in beautiful reproductions.
More than 150 gardens in the U.S. and Canada; Mexico, Brazil, and the Dominican Republic; England, Ireland, and Northern Ireland; France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal; and India, Sri Lanka, Bali, and China make their appearance here, accompanied by informative texts by the photographer himself. Hales is a wonderful guide, offering not only the basics of location, ownership, and design of each garden but also valuable insights that will add to the viewer's interest and pleasure. Perfect for gardeners, photography enthusiasts, and armchair travelers alike, this splendid volume will make an ideal gift.
"This book's novel approach to showcasing international gardens allows the author considerable freedom to display lovely photographs of widely varying scenes, while allowing readers to take each image literally one day at a time. Garden photographer Hales (The Fine Art of Flower Arranging; etc.) shares photos of more than 150 gardens from North America, Europe and Asia. He arranges the gardens alphabetically, from The Abkhazi Garden in Victoria, British Columbia (on January 1), to A Zelun Garden, in Chengdu Province, China (on December 31). Although the gardens don't seem to overtly correspond with the dates, their day by day positioning may help readers appreciate the photographs more slowly and carefully. Some gardens receive numerous pages (for five days in late August, Hales focuses on Portugal's Quinta da Bacalhôa gardens), while others appear only once (such as Jones Wood Garden in New York City and The Elizabeth Lawrence Garden, in Charlotte, North Carolina). Each image appears full-bleed on a right-hand page, and brief commentary accompanies it on the left-hand page. Green thumbs and non-gardeners alike should find enjoyment in these calming, inspiring vistas." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
