Have you noticed a plaque in your canine’s teeth? Or did your dog just have his first dental cleaning session? If yes, then you must be wondering about how often this will happen.
Dog dental services aren’t cheap in the US. A simple routine checkup costs anywhere from $50 to $300. And if you go for a complete dental cleaning session, expect to pay up to $800. That’s a lot!
So, in today’s post, we will help find your answer to the question – how often do dogs need dental cleaning? This will not only give you a better understanding of your pet’s needs but it will also make finance management easy. Let’s get started!
Why is Dental Cleaning Important for Dogs?
We, humans, brush and floss our teeth daily. Yet still, we visit the dentist every month for checkups and professional cleaning.
Why do we do that? To maintain our oral health!
It works the same for dogs. These canine fellows use their teeth to eat and explore the world around them. This makes their teeth 10x more likely to catch infections. Even if you brush their teeth regularly and offer them dental chews, the teeth will still get damaged.
And a dog with tooth problems can’t eat or drink properly. This leads to weight loss, fatigue, depression, and overall poor health.
So, it doesn’t matter how well you take care of your pet’s teeth at home – if you want it to live a happier and healthier life, you must get its teeth professionally cleaned!
Oral Health Problems in Dogs
Dogs will start developing serious dental issues – if you don’t take them for professional cleaning by their third year. Here’s a brief overview of these problems:
1. Tooth Decay
Similar to humans, dogs can experience tooth decay. It happens when plaque builds up on teeth and bacteria enter the mouth. It reacts with plaque and produces corrosive acids that erode the tooth enamel (the outermost protective layer of the teeth).
If teeth aren’t cleaned for a long time, the bacteria will continue eroding the teeth until it will form a huge cavity and infect the root pulp. This can lead to infections.
2. Periodontal Disease
This is one of the most prevalent dental issues in dogs. It occurs when plaque and tartar collect on the adult teeth and trigger an infection. If left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis – which can cause damage to the supporting structures of the teeth.
An abscess refers to a red, swollen bump on the gums or in a tooth. It is triggered by a bacterial infection and can be very painful. If your dog has an abscess, it should be drained immediately because the abscess doesn’t stop – only spreads further into the mouth.
A lack of dental cleaning can result in persistent bad breath in dogs. It is often caused by the collection of bacteria, food particles, and plaque in the mouth. Bad breath can also be a sign of underlying dental issues that need attention.
Gingivitis refers to gum inflammation. It causes redness, swelling, and tenderness in the dog’s mouth. If not addressed, it can progress to more severe gum disease and impact the overall health of the dog.
How Often Do Dogs Need Dental Cleaning? 3 Factors
Generally, veterinarians suggest that all dogs should have professional dental cleaning once a year. But, depending on a few factors, this frequency can vary. Let’s have a look at each of them in detail!
Surprisingly, the type of breed does not only affect the appearance, personality, eating habits, and average lifespan of your dog. It also influences the dental health of your pooch.
Small dog breeds (like Chihuahuas and Shih Tzus) are more prone to dental issues than larger ones. This is because as they mature, teeth grow to reach the standard size but their mouth remains small. So, the teeth have no space to adjust properly.
The overcrowding creates the perfect situation for food particles and bacteria to hide in between teeth gaps – leading to plaque and tartar build-up. Things get more complicated in small dog breeds (like Yorkies) that don’t lose their baby teeth easily.
Another problem with dogs, who have small faces and noses, is they are likely to have naturally deformed teeth. They are also susceptible to shallow tooth roots and misaligned jaws. This allows bacteria to collect in crooks and corners.
Comparatively, larger breeds don’t have many dental problems. But since they exert stronger bite force and try chewing everything, their teeth break a lot. Still, your little pooch may need more dental cleanings in a year than your huge canine friend.
Similar to us, the oral health of dogs deteriorates with time. The tartar and plaque buildup encourages bacteria to settle down – which attacks the tooth and gums. This leads to tooth decay and infections.
So, adult senior dogs require more frequent dental cleaning than younger ones. It is especially true if your dog has a history of dental issues. If it experienced an infection, tooth loss, or physical trauma earlier in life, the deterioration will occur at a faster rate.
However, please note puppies have very healthy teeth and don’t need professional cleaning at all. Veterinarians recommend getting your dog its first dental cleaning session at the age of 2.
The dog’s dental care routine also matters a lot. If you brush your dog’s teeth regularly with an enzymatic toothpaste and provide a healthy diet, your furry pal should only need one professional cleaning in a year (after the age of 2).
But, if you never took care of its teeth and didn’t offer chewing toys either, the teeth will develop serious issues at a young age. You will have to take it for dental cleaning sessions frequently to restore oral health.
Are There Any Complications from Dog Dental Cleaning?
Dog dental cleaning doesn’t have many complications. But, considering the process involves the use of anesthesia, it can cause a few problems:
1. Anesthesia reactions
Dogs who are allergic to anesthesia may experience shocks. They will also exhibit hypotension and an abnormal heartbeat. All of this can be monitored through technology, so the dog can be helped in case of an anesthesia reaction.
2. Low body temperature & blood pressure
Low blood pressure (also called hypotension) and low body temperature are both witnessed in senior dogs. They don’t have the strength or stability to deal with anesthesia allergy and stress – which triggers these conditions and may send them into a shock.
3. Compromised Organ
If a canine already has issues with an organ (like the liver and kidneys), this information should be communicated with the vets. This will help the vet avoid sedating these organs or affecting them in any way. As a result, your pup’s dental cleaning will be completed without complications.
4. Acidic burns in Eesophagus
OEsophagus is the food pipe through which food travels from our mouth to the stomach. When the dog is sedated, the gastronomical walls relax and the acid will pour into the pipe. This causes a burning, painful sensation.
The dog might vomit too. In fact, the longer the canine vomits, the worse the condition will become. So, the vet will control it by injecting medicinal substances that will lessen the vomiting and protect the stomach.
1. How long does a dog teeth cleaning last?
Generally, a dog teeth-cleaning session lasts 1 to 2 hours. But the exact time depends on the dental condition. If a dog has severe plaque buildup, the cleaning will last longer.
2. When should your dog have his first dental cleaning?
A dog should have his first dental cleaning session when it’s at least 2 years old. Before that, the dog usually has very healthy teeth and no significant plaque buildup. But if you notice any signs of dental disease, consult the vet immediately.
3. Does dental cleaning help dogs live longer?
Yes, dental cleaning helps dogs live longer by keeping their teeth healthy and strong. When their oral health is good, they can eat easily and maintain proper nutrition intake – hence, helping them live longer.
4. Is dog dental cleaning worth the risk?
Absolutely! A professional vet will thoroughly clean your dog and inform you about any other potential dental issues. You can’t do all of this at home – without proper tools and knowledge.
5. Why is dog dental cleaning so expensive?
Professional teeth cleanings for dogs are expensive because it requires lots of advanced tools and dental exams. However, it’s totally worth it since your dog will get to live a better life.
All in all, dental cleaning for dogs is very important. It removes harmful bacteria and stuck food particles from their teeth. As a result, their teeth stay safe from potentially fatal infections and diseases.
So, how often do dogs need dental cleaning? A healthy dog should get dental cleaning only once a year. However, if the dog belongs to a smaller breed, is old, or doesn’t receive good dental care at home, the cleaning sessions will be more frequent.

Drunk and cold, Jeffrey C. Pittman, 44, allegedly broke into the Sikh Temple of Spokane early Thursday morning, possibly looking for a place to get warm.
When he took in his surroundings — Punjabi text and illustrations of men with beards and turbans — he thought he had entered a place that was associated with the Taliban, or ISIS, he told police, and began damaging things inside the building. In America Sikhs are commonly mistaken for Muslims, the Atlantic reported in 2015.
Pittman allegedly sprayed a fire extinguisher throughout the building, flooding the sacred space with fine, yellow powder. He ripped the pages out of the Sikh sacred text — the Guru Granth Sahib. He poured out the gurdwara’s sacred water imported from India.
Early Thursday morning, when some Sikhs came in the building for prayer, they found the suspect, hiding naked, and detained him, according to a statement from the Spokane Valley Police Department.
Pittman was arrested on burglary and malicious harassment charges.
Members of the Sikh Temple say damages are estimated between $30,000 and $50,000.
On Thursday afternoon faith and political leaders gathered in the temple’s langar to condemn the vandalism at a press conference organized by the Spokane Interfaith Council.
“We are your classmates, neighbors and colleagues and we would like to take this negative act of vandalism and turn it into an opportunity for the community to learn more about each other,” said Subarna Nagra, member of the Sikh Temple.
She said the temple (also called a gurdwara) would soon be holding an open house for the Spokane community to learn more about the Sikh faith.
Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich said there are too many acts like the one on the Sikh Temple happening throughout the area. Last year the Bosnia and Herzegovina Heritage Association of Spokane, a Muslim prayer space, was vandalized and in 2014 Temple Beth Shalom was also vandalized. Over the weekend two Spokane Valley churches were set fire.
“I think it’s time that we as a community bond together so that these acts no longer occur,” Knezovich said. “Fear, anger and hate are what is happening to our society. No longer is it love one another, respect one another and be kind to one another. These kind of acts are not who we are as an American society.”
He said acts like this would not be tolerated in the Spokane area.
Bishop Jim Waggoner of the Episcopal Diocese of Spokane said the vandalism at the gurdwara is saddening, but also an opportunity.
“I think it’s an opportunity to encourage everyone to get to know your neighbor and get to learn and respect other religions’ traditions, practices and beliefs,” he said. “…Sometimes what we don’t know does cause fear.”
Admir Rasic, a local Muslim, came to the press conference to stand in solidarity with the local Sikh community. He said when bigotry and hate speech go unchallenged, vandalism like today’s is the consequence.

Aside from turkey, on any given holiday table, my least favorite thing is very often the cranberry sauce. Perhaps I had one too many cloying canned versions as a kid, or the ones I had were simply too tart; for whatever reason, I usually pass the cranberry bowl to the next person swiftly. But then as an adult, I learned that you can actually make your own, and hey!, you can even add things like orange juice and cinnamon to temper the fruit’s tartness and give it layers of flavor complexity that just so happen to complement basically everything else on that holiday table. Since this revelation, I’ve become much more interested in incorporating cranberries into my holiday dessert rotation as well, which is why Smitten Kitchen‘s Cranberry Pecan Bread caught my eye last year. Even though I’m drooling over her new Smitten Kitchen Keepers book at the moment, I knew I wanted to make this recipe again; its toasty pecans, puckery cranberries, bright citrus, and crunchy sugar-studded lid sing all the right notes for November and December. (And honestly, I feel like it’s perfectly at home in chilly January during this bomb cyclone in Northern California…)
I love how Deb clarifies more than once in her blog post that this is “definitely actually cake”, not “bread” per se… but I think we all knew that. I mean, did any of us really think we weren’t having this for dessert? Though to be fair, it’s a completely justifiable excuse to have cake for breakfast– if we call it “bread” and serve it with butter or cream cheese, that feels way more acceptable as a means to start the day. (Not that I haven’t had chocolate layer cake for breakfast. Maaaayyybe you too at some point?) Similarly, when I attended Claire Saffitz’s cookbook talk recently for her new What’s For Dessert book, she too talked about how muffins are really just cake, so why can’t we all just embrace that and admit that we eat a lot of secret cake?
In the event that you’re wondering why I’m even making this in January, I had an abundance of cranberries left over and I really hate wasting food, so I made a double-loaf in my extra-long loaf pan, which was nearly the right size for all the batter; I had just a smidge left over for one mini loaf, the ideal size for gifting. If you, like me, cannot help but buy “exotic” cake pans when you travel, you just might have a double-sized loaf pan that can be found in Europe, in which case you can double the recipe below and bake it for about 85 minutes (just remember to take the mini out after about 45 minutes). Plus I’m still savoring my last few days of winter break before school starts up next Monday, so I’m taking every opportunity to keep baking!
While there’s a good amount of prep work for this recipe between zesting/juicing the oranges and slicing the individual cranberries, the gorgeously thick, chunky batter is very easy to work with and yields a handsome loaf with a deep golden, crackled top– one of the prettiest loaves I’ve made. It’s great for gifting… if it makes it out of your kitchen. And if it doesn’t, I mean, it’s really not your fault.
My oranges were huge and yielded more than 1 cup juice for 4 oranges, so I stopped squeezing at 1 cup and topped it up with enough sour cream (280g) to fill 2 cups. Anywhere in this range is fine– it’s a pretty forgiving recipe in this respect (but you’ll have half this amount for a single batch). The loaf has a wonderful orange perfume without being overpowering– beautifully balanced flavors between the tart cranberries, citrusy orange, and nutty toasted pecans, and the sweetness/crunchiness on top.
I really, really super loved this loaf, especially the sweeter top part with the pearl sugar– don’t skimp on that! This is the perfect recipe to use up any post-holiday extra cranberries, or just squirrel it away for next holiday season. 🙂
Cranberry Pecan Bread
Adapted from Smitten Kitchen
Yields 8 servings
The photos here are a double batch baked in my extra-long loaf pan. Proceed as written below in a standard loaf pan for a single batch.
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 medium-to-large oranges, any variety
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- ½ – ⅔ cup (120 – 160 grams) full-fat sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups (8 ounces/225 grams) fresh or frozen cranberries, sliced in half
- ¾ cup (85 grams) pecans, freshly toasted and coarsely chopped
- 2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1½ tablespoons pearl sugar* for the topping, or to taste (or you can substitute coarse raw sugar)
Preheat an oven to 350°F and position a baking rack in the center. Line a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan with a large piece of parchment paper so that it hangs over on all sides.
Pour the sugar into a large bowl, then zest the two oranges right over the sugar. Rub the orange zest into the sugar with your fingertips, breaking up any clumps and distributing it evenly throughout the sugar; this releases more of the citrus oil and fragrance.
Cut both oranges in half and squeeze the juice into a 1-cup measuring cup; you should have around ⅓ – ½ cup. Add enough sour cream to the cup so that the juice reaches the 1-cup line, then whisk to combine until the mixture is smooth.
Add the butter and egg to the bowl with the orange-sugar mixture and whisk all ingredients until smooth. Next whisk in the OJ-sour cream mixture. Sprinkle the salt, baking powder, and baking soda over the wet ingredients and whisk well, scraping the sides and bottom of the bowl when finished. Switch to a wooden spoon and stir in the cranberries and pecans, and finally stir in the flour just until incorporated and there are no visible flour streaks.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top, then sprinkle pearl sugar over the entire surface (optional, but recommended).
Bake for 60-70 minutes, rotating the loaf halfway through to even out the color, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (Make sure to test the very middle where the loaf has cracked open, which tends to be the last part to cook through.) Give the cake a little more time if needed; if it gets too dark, loosely cover the top with a piece of aluminum foil. Remove the pan from the oven and transfer it to a metal cooling rack until it’s lukewarm or fully cooled to room temperature. Slice the loaf and enjoy its gorgeous, festive brightness!
The Cranberry Pecan Bread keeps for 5-6 days at room temperature. I’m always inclined to store baked goods in an airtight container, but Deb says to leave it in the loaf pan and simply cover the cut side with foil to help the sides stay moist and the top stay crisp.

Modern-day Philadelphia doesn't completely shut down on Christmas, and those who have to work on the holiday may be encouraged to learn about another group of city dwellers around during the Revolutionary War era who also didn't take a break on Dec. 25.
Of course, George Washington and soldiers from his Continental Army famously crossed the ice-packed Delaware River from Pennsylvania into New Jersey on the nights of Dec. 25 and Dec. 26 in 1776 to launch an attack that became known as the Battle of Trenton.
But that well-known episode actually occurred on the third anniversary of a lesser-known chapter of the American Revolution involving Philly.
On Dec. 25, 1773, residents of Philadelphia had their own peaceful Tea Party nine days after the first, better known protest happened in Boston.
But the idea of rejecting British tea shipments as a stand against the taxes the empire levied on Americans without representation in parliament had its roots in a meeting Philadelphia patriots held at Independence Hall on Oct. 16, 1773.
That's where several fathers of the American Revolution, including Benjamin Rush and Thomas Mifflin, gathered to draft the eight "Philadelphia Resolutions." They constitute the first example of a public protest against the importation of taxed British tea.
This was a response to the Tea Act the empire passed that May, which slashed the price of the British East India Co.'s tea so it would be cheaper than the smuggled tea most Americans drank at the time.
Purchasing smuggled tea was in part a protest against the Townshend Acts passed in 1767 and 1768, which were meant to help the empire tighten the reins on its North American holdings and impose new taxes on the colonists.
Three weeks after the Philadelphia Resolutions were published, patriots in Boston gathered at Faneuil Hall and adopted them as their own.
"The sense of this town cannot be better expressed than in the words of … our worthy brethren, the citizens of Philadelphia," the Boston group declared.
It was only a few more weeks until the Boston Tea Party happened on Dec. 16. That's when the Sons of Liberty dressed up as Native Americans and forcibly boarded a tea ship docked in Boston Harbor and heaved 342 chests of the import into the water.
The act galvanized the British elite against the patriots' cause and brought the 13 colonies even closer to a war with their imperial overlords.
The Philadelphia Tea Party was carried out very differently than the Boston Tea Party, but was no less effective.
On Dec. 25, a ship called the Polly, carrying 697 chests of tea, docked less 20 miles south at the port in Chester, where it was met by several Philadelphia gentlemen who intercepted the captain and escorted him back to Philadelphia.
The next day, a group of patriots held another meeting at Independence Hall to discuss what should be done with the ship. It was attended by 6,000 people, which made it the largest mass gathering ever held in the colonies at the time.
They ended up passing a resolution stating that the tea should be refused and that the Polly should be sent back down the Delaware River.
The captain decided to turn around and return his tea cargo – which was more than twice as large as the one destroyed in Boston – back to its port of origin in England.
Although the Philadelphia Tea Party was largely non-violent, some say due to the Quaker leanings of the city's elite, the captain and anybody who helped him were threatened with the prospect of being tarred and feathered.
In the mind of Rush, an influential Philadelphia doctor who participated in the quiet act of defiance and eventually signed the Declaration of Independence, the resolutions that led to the Philadelphia Tea Party were the true starting point of the American Revolution.
This was an idea he said he got from John Adams, the nation's second president and a founding father from the Boston area.
"The active business of the American Revolution began in Philadelphia in the act of her citizens in sending back the tea ship," Rush wrote in a letter to Adams. "Massachusetts would have received her portion of the tea had not our example encouraged her to expect union and support in destroying it."

The Giving Challenge has been a blessing to our organization. During the pandemic we didn't know if our doors would stay open, the Giving Challenge made a way. Both in 2020 and 2022 our churches utilized the Giving Challenge's peer to peer function in a beautiful way. The reach and mission of Hope 4 Community was shared with more donors than ever before. We believe that directly impacted our results; we served 2750 kids in 2022.
During the years of Covid, when churches closed their doors and went virtual, they did not know how to raise the financial support the many wonderful programs they offer to our community. One of these programs is our Days 4 Hope, the back to school readiness program for homeless children and those in need.
Prior to 2020, our Giving Challenge efforts were geared towards helping Hope 4 Communities grow and expand. In 2020, as well as 2022, it had to be about helping our churches host our Day 4 Hope initiatives. We took a huge leap of faith, but it paid off in blessings we were not expecting. The Giving Challenge allowed us to take care of the needs of the organization and our churches, and most importantly our families during a time when families said, "we didn't think you'd be here for us this year".
The peer to peer function also helps our donors to share in a unique and safeway. We know that it can be difficult to spread the importance of giving amongst someone's inner circle. We believe that the Giving Challenge brings a sense of communal purpose and in a joyful, fun way. The peer-to-peer function allows people to see the direct impact of their efforts.
We all want to be part of something larger than ourselves. The Giving Challenge shows us that many hands make light work. While each donor mayonly be able to make a small impact, together our donors raised $51,120 dollars. The matches and prizes raised this amount to $93,415. That is a collective difference. This is why the Giving Challenge is so important to our organization.

'There in people's darkest hour' - inside story of life-saving air ambulance after 30,000 flights
- Credit: East Anglian Air Ambulance
It has been a saviour in critical emergencies when the victims of falls, car crashes and accidents have needed it most.
But as the East Anglian Air Ambulance marks saving thousands of lives after reaching the milestone of 30,000 call-outs in 20 years, it now aims to realise its ambition to fly 24/7.
This will enable the team to come to the aid of many more people in the next two decades.
The charity was established in 2000 to cover the region with helicopter and rapid response vehicles (RRV) and operates 365 days of the year.
Prince William worked with the ambulance service for two years and flew his last shift as a pilot for EAAA in 2017. In a farewell letter to his colleagues, he said he had a 'profound respect' for those working for the charity and was proud to work with 'such an incredible team of people'.
You may also want to watch:
Now in a more challenging year than ever, EAAA has been tasked 1,328 times by helicopter, 1,061 by rapid response vehicle and helped 1,603 patients in 2020.
Each trip by air costs £3,500 and the charity requires around £13million in funding each year to keep going.

The helicopters have flown a staggering 88,800 miles and supported 284 patients with the dedicated aftercare service.
Teams have been more recently engaged in transferring critical ill patients between intensive care units to help hospitals during the pandemic.
Ollie Handley, a 14-year-old go kart racing prodigy from Colchester, nearly lost his leg in a horrific crash in March and has recently been able to get back out onto the track thanks to the swift care he received from the air ambulance.
The teenager hit a wall of tyres at 58mph and broke his femur in three places in what the surgeon said was the worst spiral break she had ever seen. After months of physio he finally got back behind the wheel in October.
Speaking after the service’s 30,000th callout, Patrick Peal, CEO of EAAA, said: “It’s a very poignant time of year for EAAA to have reached this milestone, as our service doesn’t stop over the holidays and both of our crews will continue to be there for patients in need, 24 hours a day, right across the Christmas period.
"Although not something we can celebrate, as that’s 30,000 times the red phone has rung to say there’s someone out there in a bad way that needs our help, it just goes to show what an important lifeline EAAA is for the region, especially when we have only been operational for 20 years.
He added: "We have ambitious plans to take our service to the next level in 2021, by starting to fly 24/7 for the first time, and this is only possible due to the generosity of the community which funds us."
Work began in January to build a 24/7 flying base in Norwich which will allow the charity to operate its life-saving helicopter 24 hours a day from Norwich Airport — becoming the first air ambulance in the East of England to do so.
Community-funded highly-skilled doctor and critical care paramedic teams currently operate 24/7 by rapid response vehicles but flying will allow them to reach hundreds more patients.
The charity currently has one H145 helicopter at Norwich Airport, named Anglia One, and Anglia Two at Cambridge Airport.
The helicopters fly at around 158mph and can reach anywhere in the region within 25 minutes.
The new base has cost in the region of £7million and works have been delayed by 16 weeks this year due to the pandemic, however Mr Peal hopes the facility will be finished in just a few short months.
He is incredibly proud of the charity's supporters, who have ensured EAAA has been able to carry on its vital work despite the hit to their funding from the pandemic.
Mr Peal added: "We urge everyone to stay safe over the festive period and to keep on supporting EAAA in any way that you can, so that we can continue to be there for the local people who need our help in their darkest hour.”

Bulgaria Believes That The US Has No Grounds For Sanctions Against The Balkan Stream
The Bulgarian energy Ministry believes that the US has no grounds for imposing sanctions in connection with the construction of the Balkan Stream gas pipeline, according to Energy Minister Temenuzhka Petkova in an interview with bTV on Wednesday.
"We are not building the Turkish Stream, but the Balkan Stream. Our project is implemented by our company Bulgartransgaz, at its expense, and it meets all the legal rules of the European Union. We believe that there is no reason to impose US sanctions on the Balkan Stream. There is no risk for Bulgaria," Petkova stressed. At the same time, according to the newspaper 24 hours, the US Embassy has already sent the Bulgarian government a corresponding warning about possible sanctions.
"Balkan Stream is actually a continuation of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline through the territory of Bulgaria; but in official documents, it is called the object of" expansion of the gas transport infrastructure of the company "Bulgartransgaz" parallel to the Northern (main) gas pipeline to the Bulgarian-Serbian border." The name "Balkan Stream" for the gas pipeline was proposed by Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov. The total length of the gas pipeline is 474 km.
The US House of Representatives on Tuesday approved the draft defense budget for the next fiscal year (starting in the country on October 1), which obliges the administration to tighten sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 and Turkish Stream gas pipelines. This is about imposing restrictions against foreign persons who significantly contribute to the sale, lease, or provision of vessels for laying pipes intended for the construction of Nord Stream 2 and Turkish Stream.
The Turkish Stream, which was launched on January 8, runs along the bottom of the Black sea from the territory of Russia to the coast of Turkey. Then there is a land transit route to the border with neighboring countries, from where gas is already exported to Greece, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia. In the future (after the completion of the entire infrastructure), gas will go to Serbia and Hungary. The capacity of the 930 km long gas pipeline is 31.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year.

Discovery Day. Dooms Day. Disaster Day. It's got many titles but in the world of the betrayed, almost everyone has a D-Day. For some, the discovery comes in bits and pieces, unfolding into truth. For me it was like a broken dam, exploding all over my seemingly ordered world. It's been three years since what I describe as my first D-Day and there are several things I learned through the difficult times:
- Do not make any major life decisions in the middle of emotional chaos. There is no reason to rush.
- The way you feel today is not the way you will feel forever.
- Make time to think. You need the emotional space to process what you have learned. Even if it has been going on for a while, this new reality needs time to be accepted. Be cautious not to be so 'busy' that you avoid dealing with the trauma.
- Find a way to take care of yourself. Walking, long baths, books of recovery and time with encouraging friends. You will be enough for all that you must do.
- More than any other time, take care to feed your faith. Do not abandon the principles of scripture when you will need them most. If you have never studied the Bible, do so now. Start in Psalms or Proverbs to remember that others have survived betrayal and hurt, glean the wisdom necessary for rebuilding. You do not have to survive this alone.
- Choose to act, not react. Remember to be a woman of dignity, even when you find yourself part of very undignified circumstances. You can be proud of how you handle this terrible season.
- Activate a support system - find those who can help you practically with meals, childcare, therapy, prayer, whatever it is you need now. This is the time to relinquish caring for others and let others care for you.

Things You'll Need
4- to 5-inch diameter plant pot
Plastic storage bag
Creeping Jenny, which has the formal name of Lysimachia, also is called moneywort and loosestrife. The plant has a vine-like growth that most often is used as a ground cover. In the summer, Creeping Jenny develops light green or yellow leaves and tiny, white flowers along the vines. It grows rapidly and can be propagated by taking a cutting from an existing vine, which will soon develop roots.
Locate a Creeping Jenny vine that has leaves but no open flowers in early to mid-summer. Cut the vine off 3 to 5 inches from the tip using a pair of hand pruners. Make the cut straight across the vine.
Pull off all of the leaves from the bottom one-third of the cutting.
Pour 1/8 cup of a rooting hormone powder into a dish. Dip the lower one-third of the cutting into the hormone until it is covered in powder.
Fill a 4- to 5-inch diameter plant pot with sterile potting soil until it is 1/2 inch from the top rim.
Create a 1- to 2-inch deep hole in the center of the soil with a finger. Insert the powdered end of the cutting into the soil and press the soil up around it so that it stands up.
Water the soil until it is thoroughly damp.
Turn a plastic storage bag upside down and insert it over the pot to conserve moisture.
Place the pot in an area that has bright but indirect sunlight. Feel the soil daily, adding more water as needed to prevent it from drying out. When the vine begins to grow, it has developed roots and can be transplanted to a permanent location.

On Nov. 23, when President Obama addressed the nation to tout the deal his administration struck with Iran over its nuclear program, he credited bipartisan sanctions passed by Congress for making such progress possible.
“However, now is not the time to move forward on new sanctions,” he cautioned members of Congress. “Doing so would derail this promising first step, alienate us from our allies, and risk unraveling the coalition that enabled our sanctions to be enforced in the first place.”
The statement was just the latest twist in Obama’s tortured relationship with imposing sanctions on Iran.
In December 2009, as Congress moved on Iran sanctions, Obama's State Department sent a letter to John Kerry (then chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee) expressing concern that pending legislation “might weaken rather than strengthen international unity and support for our efforts” to pressure Iran.
As legislation developed, the administration tried to soften it by exempting some countries that were cooperating with the Obama administration's efforts.
In June 2010, sanctions against Iran's energy and banking industries passed 408 to 8 in the House of Representatives and 99 to 0 in the Senate, making Iran a rare issue of bipartisan agreement in a period marked by acrimony among Republicans and Democrats.
Obama, seeking to firm up support among the pro-Israel community, declared at a May 2011 speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee: “Here in the United States, we've imposed the toughest sanctions ever on the Iranian regime.”
Later that year, Sens. Robert Menendez, D-N.J, and Mark Kirk, R-Ill., crafted a bipartisan measure imposing sanctions against the Central Bank of Iran. But the Obama administration aggressively fought the effort.
On Dec. 1, 2011, then-Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner wrote a letter to the Senate Armed Services Committee expressing “the administration's strong opposition to this amendment because, in its current form, it threatens to undermine the effective, carefully phased, and sustainable approach we have undertaken to build strong international pressure against Iran.”
At a time when Washington was polarized by budget battles, the Senate voted later that day 100 to 0 to approve the amendment, and a boxed-in Obama signed it into law.
Throughout the 2012 campaign, Obama bragged about the sanctions whenever he wanted to bolster his claims that he was committed to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
“We've put in the toughest, most crippling sanctions ever,” Obama said during his Oct. 22, 2012, foreign policy debate with challenger Mitt Romney.
Now, after signing on to a deal with Iran that provides the terrorist-financing Islamist regime with billions of dollars in sanctions relief while allowing the nation to continue enriching uranium despite six U.N. Security Council resolutions calling on Iran to suspend all activity in that area, Obama is telling Congress to hold off on additional sanctions.
But both Democratic and Republican members of Congress have blasted the Iran deal. One of the big fears is that beyond any immediate financial relief, it undermines the psychology of the sanctions.
The effort to isolate Iran is meant to dissuade would-be investors from doing any business with the nation. But any loosening up of pressure could be viewed as a green light to businesses.
That’s why lawmakers want to pass a new round of sanctions set to kick in after the six-month agreement is over — as well as at any sign Iran is violating the agreement.
This would, in the words of one GOP aide, signal to businesses that there will be a “guillotine” waiting if they choose to invest in Iran.
Whatever happens next, the fact that Obama has been praising the success of sanctions that were passed by Congress over his objections and warnings has left him with little credibility on the issue.

DON BLANKENSHIP, the boss of Massey Energy, is taking roughly the opposite public-relations approach, in the wake of the explosion that killed 29 miners at the Upper Big Branch mine last month, to that taken by BP in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon blowout. Where BP has apologised and pledged to cover all costs of the clean-up, Mr Blankenship is aggressively disclaiming responsibility. "Whatever happened at UBB is something that needs to be figured out, but it's not the result of my management style," Mr Blankenship told Bloomberg's Mario Parker. Mr Blankenship's tone-deafness has focused public ire on him and his company and has put coal-mining practices back on the national agenda; it may even have alienated big coal's biggest defender, the mighty Senator Robert Byrd.
But what I find curious about both the Massey Energy and BP cases is that in both cases, disasters have focused public attention on the industry while possibly focusing it away from the main issue. Clearly, offshore-drilling blowouts are ecological and economic catastrophes; but the real issue for environmentalists before the BP blowout was that there's no point opening up new areas for offshore drilling at a time when America and the world need to make fossil fuels more expensive and reduce carbon emissions to forestall climate change. And while the deaths at Upper Big Branch are tragic and the hazards of coal mining are a real issue, the main trouble with Massey Energy is not so much the disaster at one mine as the disasters the company deliberately inflicts on West Virginia every day as part of its business model. Environmentalists have been trying for years to bring public attention to the practice of mountaintop-removal mining, which is annihilating large chunks of the Appalachian Mountains in a manner one doesn't expect to see outside the third world.
The pressure group Appalachian Voices has a fantastic Google Earth application that lets you see how mountaintop removal works. You can view it in your browser with a plugin, or in Google Earth with a KML file. Mike Lillis of the Washington Independent has also done tireless reporting on this subject, and local activists like Denny Tyler, a former Massey electrician, have set up their own websites. It's simply bizarre that an advanced country with a strong environmentalist record has been allowing this practice to go on; it was prohibitively expensive until a rules change by the Bush administration allowed companies to dump the waste from blowing tops off mountains into adjoining stream valleys.
The hopeful take on all this is that the disasters focus public attention on environmental damage, which then permits progress on the major issues of limiting carbon emissions and barring mountaintop removal. But it would be nice if there were a way to focus public attention without waiting for a catastrophe involving multiple deaths to occur.

In the first cross country race Joel Norras ever ran, he took a hard tumble.
“I felt like a fool,” the USC Beaufort senior recalled. “I was like, ‘How did that just happen? Does that happen often to people, tripping in races on (tree) roots? Do I get up and keep going?’
“I just got up and kept going and finished the race.”
It turned out to be something of a harbinger for Norras’ running career. Diagnosed with a brain tumor at age 13, mild nerve damage left him unable to quite regain all of his motor skills. As a result, he stumbles more than one would expect to see from a college runner.
“If I trip, I trip,” he says nonchalantly. He gets up and finishes the race.
Said fellow senior Tyler Durst: “Joel persists, no matter what adversity he has to overcome. So if I’m having a bad day, it’s really nothing in comparison.”
Last weekend, Norras was honored by the Sun Conference with its Champions of Character Award for men’s track and field.
The award is part of the NAIA’s initiative by the same name, recognizing the “true spirit of competition” through core values of integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership.
Friday brought a finish line of another sort, too, graduating with a degree in hospitality management. Academically ineligible to compete when he first arrived at USCB, Norras has spent the past two years with the highest grade-point average (3.44) on the Sand Sharks’ roster.
“He’s just one tough cookie who persevered and plowed through,” said Larry Kimball, USCB’s longtime cross country coach. “Four years later, you can (look back and) see the maturation process as he went along.”
In a different sort of team structure, Norras might be thought of as a role player. The Savannah native wasn’t part of the parade that saw USCB athletes rewrite school records 43 times in a season that brought their first conference titles.
Even so, he’s a contributor. A seventh-place finish in the 10,000 meters scored points at last weekend’s conference meet. And who knows how many teammates’ points and records might carry a hint of Norras’ influence.
“He never made an excuse for anything,” said Betsy Douglas, USCB’s most decorated runner. “It’s really easy to come up with excuses. But when someone is going through something and they don’t come up with an excuse — you should really think about what you’re going to say.”
Norras, for his part, tends to shrug all that off.
“I just do what has to be done to get the job done,” he said. “I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
Norras played basketball and baseball as a youth, though for some reason he never could get the hang of throwing a baseball. It wasn’t until he was 13 that they found out why.
Doctors found two cysts surrounding a brain tumor, hampering his right-side motor skills. Three operations followed in the next four months, culminating in a 13-hour procedure to remove the tumor.
Though the affliction thankfully didn’t affect his cognitive function, it did leave him with a limp that still persists. He pursued golf in the recovery process, but would find himself easily frustrated.
“Golf’s way more mental,” he said.
He took up running for exercise during his junior year at St. Andrew’s School, soon discovering he had a connection with cross country coach Daniel Batten.
“He also had a brain tumor when he was around my age,” Norras said. “He had two or three, but they didn’t mess up his body like mine did. He wrestled all through high school and ran cross country just to stay in shape for wrestling. So that was a weird connection we had.”
There was another connection, too, that would prove valuable. When poor grades left Norras with limited college options, it was Batten who introduced him to Kimball.
“He told me a little bit of his story, but not a lot,” Kimball said. “But you could tell he had that presence.”
Submitting his paperwork, the NAIA ruled him ineligible as a freshman. Norras asked if he could still train with the team.
“By that time, I’d already made friends with people on the team,” Norras said. “I might as well (stay). It’s fun.”
Over four years, Norras has risen to become a team captain and become an integral part of the team’s fabric. “Really, part of the glue,” Kimball said.
“He tolds people accountable, and I think that’s his biggest attribute,” Kimball said.
Durst recalls more than one occasion when Norras has been the one to keep a teammate on the proper path.
“If there’s a bad idea that somebody comes up with,” Durst said, “Joel will let you know. Joel is not afraid to let you know that you’re doing something dumb.”
As for the trips and falls, some may have been exaggerated over time. Norras acknowledges there was one race when he went down three times in the space of a mile, and he does take a spill more often than other runners.
“When I get to a certain speed,” he said, “sometimes my right leg likes to react properly and sometimes it doesn’t.”
That said, the limp almost disappears when he runs. And that three-falls-in-a-mile experience showed him something.
“It gave me an adrenaline boost,” he said, “and I ended up running faster after I got up. After that race, I kind of realized that falling almost helps me.”
The Sand Sharks could always count on this: Norras finishes the race. Always has.

Background: Currently, hepatitis B immunoglobulins (HBIg) and/or lamivudine have become the main options for prevention of hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation.
Aim: To assess the benefits of HBIg and/or lamivudine for prevention of hepatitis B recurrence after liver transplantation.
Methods: We conducted a search of electronic databases and a manual search of bibliographical lists of relevant articles. All randomized clinical trials and non-randomized studies that meet the pre-specified criteria were included. However, results of non-randomized studies were reported under ‘exploratory analyses’ in the result section. The outcome measure was hepatitis B recurrence.
Results: Two randomized and 44 non-randomized studies were included. Meta-analysis of two randomized studies shows one week HBIg combined with lamivudine regimen had equivalent effect compared with long-term high-dose HBIg regimen for preventing hepatitis B recurrence (RR 1.23; 95% CI 0.38–4.03; P = 0.73). For 44 non-randomized studies, only qualitative systematic review was performed. With long-term HBIg prophylaxis, hepatitis B recurrence rate ranged from 3.7% to 65%; with lamivudine prophylaxis, hepatitis B recurrence rate varied from 3.8% to 40.4%; Long-term high-dose HBIg plus lamivudine prophylaxis can reduce the risk of HBV recurrence to less than 10%.
Conclusions: Long-term HBIg prophylaxis or lamivudine prophylaxis can reduce the risk for hepatitis B virus recurrence. Long-term high-dose HBIg combined with lamivudine can further reduce HBV recurrence to less than 10%.

We've seen how the
yield statement is able to pause the execution context of a
generator function, and yield a value back to the calling context. There's a variation on the
yield statement that allows us to defer to other
generator functions. Another technique involves creating a mesh of generators by interweaving several generator sources together. In this section, we'll explore both of these ideas.
Deferring to other generators gives our functions the ability to decide at run-time, to hand off control from one generator to another. In other words, it allows the selection of a more appropriate generator function based on a strategy. Here's a visualization of a generator function that makes a decision ...

Australia head coach John Connolly has attributed the Wallabies’ 25-17 come-from-behind win over South Africa in Sydney to veterans George Gregan and Stephen Larkham.
Connolly said he was satisfied with his team’s fight back after a terrible start but said the night belonged to his veteran halves, who were playing their final Test match on home soil.
“This game for us was very much about Stephen and George. The players were very conscious of recognising what they’ve done for Australia,” Connolly said. “They’re probably two of the greatest players that have played the game in Australia so it was an important night for everyone.”
He added: “We made it easy for them (Springboks), gifting them a try and then the intercept, and then (Derick) Hougaard, every time he got the ball he turned us around so we had to play our way into the game.”
“We were always confident of working our way back into it but we just started so slowly,” Connolly said.
Springboks coach Jake White described the match as an emotional roller coaster and said a lot of positives came out of the match, but he agreed with Connolly that the experience of the Australian backline was decisive.
“At times I thought we were outstanding and I was enjoying it and other times I was leaning over in the box trying to defend,” said White.
“I thought we started well – I wouldn’t have put money on Derick (Houghaard) missing those two kicks – we would have been 23-0 ahead and I think that would have been the difference.
“But the one thing the Wallabies have shown is that they never give up, they keep coming back at you and with guys like Gregan and Larkham at nine and 10, they just had too much ball running at our very inexperienced backline for us to keep them out.”

PCIe peer-to-peer communication P2P is a PCIe feature which enables two PCIe devices to directly transfer data between each other without using host RAM as a temporary storage. The latest version of SDx PCIe platforms support P2P feature via PCIe Resizeable BAR Capability. PCI Peer-to-Peer DMA Support¶ The PCI bus has pretty decent support for performing DMA transfers between two devices on the bus. This type of transaction is henceforth called Peer-to-Peer or P2P. However, there are a number of issues that make P2P transactions tricky to do in a perfectly safe way.
Its low latency, high bandwidth, widespread support and cost-effective silicon have made PCI Express ubiquitous. It can however, be used for more than merely communicating between a host and a peripheral: it has many advantages as a peer-to-peer communications technology. 04/12/2019 · NI peer-to-peer P2P streaming technology uses PCI Express to enable direct, point-to-point transfers between multiple instruments without sending data through the host processor or memory. This enables devices in a system to share information without burdening other system resources. NI P2P. 21/12/2016 · If a TLP travels to Upstream port and if it matches to its Base and Limit Registers it will be handled as "Unsupported Request" on secondary interface. again it will pass to the downstream port, other than one that it received, since it may be peer-to-peer communication. 24/10/2018 · The recently covered PCI peer-to-peer memory support for the Linux kernel has indeed landed for the 4.20~5.0 kernel cycle. This is about PCI Express devices supporting peer-to-peer DMA that can bypass the system memory and processor via a standardized interface. Page 4 Dolphin Express – Remote Peer to Peer made easy Introduction PCIe peer-to-peer communication P2P is a part of the PCI Express specification and enables regular PCI Express devices to establish direct data transfers without the need to use main memory as a temporary storage or use of the CPU for moving data.
We are trying to make a peer-to- peer transaction between 2 End-Points, through Intel chipset without succession. Not through CPU/ CPU memory. The 2 E.P. connected to PCIe channels of the QM57 \ QM77 \ QM170. There is communication between the EP and the CPU/CPU memory. but not peer-to- peer between the 2 E.P. PCIE endpoint to endpoint transaction. Ask Question Asked 6 years, 10 months ago. Active 6 years, 10 months ago. Viewed 9k times 4. 2. I would like to clarify that the endpoint to endpoint transactions peer to peer transaction of two PCIE endpoints behind a PCIE switch are not forwarded to. The mystery of peer-to-peer transfer I want to use PCIe p2p transfer to exchange data between two FPGAs. One is connected with external PCIe over fiber and the other one is plugged in the computer.
Designs 1 and 2 above make use of the cost effective 48 channel switches however if one changes to using the higher channel count switches it is possible, within certain distance limits imposed by the requirements of PCIe, to build systems with very high bandwidth system-wide PCIe peer to peer support.

Conditional cash transfer programs in Brazil, Mexico, and Ecuador have resulted in a significant reduction in child mortality, saving more than 700,000 lives, according to a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal). The study, published in JAMA Network Open, also suggests that expanding these programs could save an additional 150,000 lives by mitigating the impact of the current economic crisis.
Conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs are well-established policies aimed at alleviating poverty. These programs provide financial support to low-income families in exchange for meeting certain health and education requirements for their children. With 30 such programs currently implemented in Latin America, a region known for its high income and health inequalities, their impact across countries and during times of crisis has been uncertain.
Led by Davide Rasella of ISGlobal, an international team conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the health impact of these programs over the past two decades and projected their potential effects in future scenarios. The researchers analyzed data from 4,882 municipalities in Mexico, Brazil, and Ecuador, countries with significant CCT coverage through programs such as Progreso, Bolsa Familia, and Bono de Desarrollo Humano, respectively.
The retrospective analysis revealed that consolidated municipal CCT coverage between 2000 and 2019 was associated with a 24% reduction in overall child mortality, preventing approximately 739,919 child deaths in the three countries during the same period. The study found that higher CCT coverage led to a greater impact on child mortality and hospitalization, particularly for poverty-related diseases such as malnutrition, diarrhoea, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, and malaria.
Daniella Medeiros, the first author of the study and a researcher from the Federal University of Bahia in Brazil, suggested that the positive effect of CCT programs on child mortality is mainly attributed to improved socioeconomic conditions, including better nutrition and housing, rather than the conditional nature of the income tied to the use of basic health services. This may explain why the impact was more prominent on postneonatal and under-five mortality, which are influenced by socioeconomic factors, compared to neonatal mortality, which is more influenced by healthcare services.
In response to economic crises, the study conducted forecast analyses considering different scenarios and responses related to CCT coverage. In a medium crisis scenario, expanding coverage to include those who have become newly impoverished (mitigation) could reduce child mortality by up to 17% and prevent 153,601 child deaths across the three countries by 2030. The findings indicate that rapidly expanding CCT programs during economic crises is an effective policy approach to mitigate the health impact and save the lives of children.
Rasella emphasized the significant role poverty plays in driving disease and mortality in low- and middle-income countries. By focusing on poverty as a determinant of health outcomes, multiple perspectives can be utilized to effectively address this issue.
The study provides crucial evidence of the positive impact of conditional cash transfer programs on child mortality and highlights their potential to mitigate the effects of economic crises. The findings support the expansion of these programs as a vital strategy for improving child health and well-being.

In these Covid times, Dutch singer and comedian Claudia de Breij realizes how much she misses the stage to express herself. Together with musicians Michelle Samba and Abdelhadi Baaddi, she performs some of her own new songs, which tell the wonderful life and war story of singer and comedian Heintje Davids (1888-1975), but which are also essentially about themselves - because all three of them had to fight for their place on the stage. In Hier zijn wij (Here we are) director Suzanne Raes follows the creation of this production, which was developed during lockdown and shows how the makers were inspired by Heintje Davids.
