The anisotropic magnetoresistive (AMR) sensors provide an excellent means of measuring both linear and angular position and displacement in the earth's magnetic field. The electrical output of these sensors is proportional to the magnetic field strength along its sensitive axis. When such a sensor is spun around a horizontal plane starting from magnetic north, the output is a cosine function of the heading angle. Generally, a minimum of two sensors that are arranged mutually perpendicular would eliminate the ambiguity in electrical output with respect to heading direction. In this paper, based on cross effect estimation, the insensitive-axis cross-term of sensor A in HMC1002 is measured and a low power compass is designed. The results of experiment show that the accuracy of proposed compass is about 2° in horizontal position. The current consumption of proposed single sensitive-axis compass is about 20 mA, which is about 30% lower than that of formerly designed two sensitive-axis compass. It can be seen that proposed single sensitive-axis compass is effective.

During a recent countrywide food safety check, a team of inspectors from the Ministry of Health found traces of harmful substances such as formaldehyde, borax and banned coloring agents in a number of food items.
|A man selling an assortment of chemical additives to flavor food, in Kim Bien Market (Photo: SGGP)|
They found formaldehyde, also called formol, in fresh vermicelli and vegetarian items; and banned coloring agents in sour sprouts, banana flowers, areca, melon seeds and various confectionery items, some of the most common food items during Tet Lunar New Year.
Added proportions of the above items far exceeded permissible limits by 20- 40 percent.
In Dong Xuan Market in Hanoi, flavoring chemical substances used in confectionary were displayed along streets, with no expiry date or manufacturing labels.
When a customer asked for a sweet smelling flavor for cakes, a shop assistant presented a plastic container marked with a Chinese script, saying that it was popular with most customers.
Dubious and unsafe additives that can make drinking water into a delicious soft drink or make fruit juices highly palatable are sold in plentiful in Hang Ba Market in Hanoi as well as in Kim Bien Market in Ho Chi Minh City’s District 5.
The additives come in many flavors like orange, lime, grape, strawberry, coffee, chocolate, beef and seafood. Market vendors say that additives make a drink or broth even tastier and are much cheaper than traditional flavors in broth, like adding bone stock.
The shop assistant instructed adding one spoon of the liquid chemical over 10 kilograms of Chinese sausage, to keep the food from rotting.
Without using additives, the profits will not be so high and the food will not be tasty enough to lure customers, said one shop owner to a customer. She said a liter of an unidentified chemical additive costing VND250,000 (US$11.9) can cook 100 kg of beef rice noodles.
Out of 299 food samples taken, health authorities found that 42 failed to meet safety standards; 33 percent of chilli powder and melon seeds contained high levels of Rhodamine B, a harmful coloring agent, and 20 percent of soy sauce had MCPD, an organic chemical compound which is carcinogenic and suspected to be genotoxic for humans.
Only 5 percent of additives are made by Vietnamese companies while Chinese products constitute 30 percent. Around 191,919 tons of additives have been imported into the country and health authorities announced that 1,251 tons of imported additives failed to meet national safety standards.
Health agencies cannot control smuggled additives and this is a real threat to people, said Nguyen Thanh Phong, deputy chief of the Vietnam Food Administration (VFA) under the Ministry of Health.
Medical experts believe the government must tighten control on import of additives. Market managers should be given more powers to penalize shops selling unsafe chemicals.
|Market management teams raided the house of Nguyen Duy Tam in Thanh Oai District in Hanoi on Wednesday to uncover 2 freezers stuffed with 30 tons of oxen meat that had turned putrid. |
The owner was unable to produce legal documents to verify its origin. Tam said he had collected the meat from slaughterhouses in the district.
Last year, more than 4,800 people were rushed to hospitals in 105 food poisoning cases across the country, in which 17 people are said to have died.

|CIVIC TYPE R FK8
Code No. 15004-AH004
Oil Cooler Kit with Optimum Core Size and Layout Design.
The kit for the fastest FF model CIVIC TYPE-R(FK8) is released.
■Product Development Concept
The K20C engine generates 320ps with 2.0 displacement; therefore, the vehicle is equipped with a water-cooled oil cooler to stabilize the extreme high engine output. However, under circuit driving, the temperature of both oil and water rise sharply because adequate heat radiation cannot be obtained, and fail safe mode becomes activated.
Adding HKS air cooling type oil cooler kit provides high heat exchange efficiency to suppress the temperature rise not only of the oil but also the water. HKS oil cooler kit includes a special aluminum air guide.
- Newly developed 48mm wide 9-layper oil cooler core and special air duct to extract the maximum performance are utilized and mounted to the inside of the inner fender.
- The oil pump’s pulsation noise generated by increase of engine rotation sometimes transmits to the vehicle interior through the high pressure-resistant stainless mesh hose. HKS oil cooler kit has the insulator to substantially reduce this pulsation noise.
- The attachment has a thermostat to restrain excessive cooling of the part.
- Vehicle modification required to install this kit is minimized. (Modification of back of the bumper, inner fender, and brake duct are only required.)

Charge: Nightclub worker tried to sexually assault woman after fundraiser
The victim claims she felt dizzy after the defendent handed her a drink
Published 6:24 pm, Wednesday, July 20, 2016
A 43-year-old man may face more than four years in jail after being charged in a sexual assault incident after a Pioneer Square nightclub fundraiser in May.
Marc A. Morin is charged with indecent liberties. Senior Deputy Prosecutor Carla Carlstrom wrote in court documents that he may be sentenced to 51 to 68 months in prison should he be convicted as charged.
A 34-year-old woman reported that on May 7 she attended a fundraiser at Trinity, which was co-hosted by Morin, Seattle Detective Leigh Fielder wrote.
Morin's social media pages indicate he works security at the nightclub.
The woman, an acquaintance of Morin's, said she felt fine while she enjoyed a few drinks, until she was handed another by Morin. She reportedly felt hot and dizzy after consuming the drink and told Morin she wanted to go home. He offered her a ride and she agreed.
The woman told police that as soon as they entered Morin's car, he tried to kiss her and repeatedly groped her. She reportedly told him to stop and that she needed to go home, but Morin said, "You know you want this," and continued to grope her breasts and reach between her legs. He also pinned one of her arms back and, while feeling sick and dizzy, the woman struggled to push Morin off her, Fielder reported. She tried to get out of the car, but Morin drove away.

That was the woman's last memory until waking up in Morin's bed at his home in Shoreline, court records say. She felt his body weight on top of her, but she told police she pretended to be asleep until he finally switched off the lights and went to sleep.
The woman then sneaked away to call an Uber ride and go home about 3:53 a.m.
Morin reportedly apologized to her with a text message the next afternoon, writing, "I know I did act inappropriately." The woman did not respond and reported the incident to the police more than a week later.
The woman told officers she was friends with Morin but was married and not romantically interested in him. She said she had never previously been to his house.

What is the most important thing you can do throughout the entire plastic surgery process?
Choose the right plastic surgeon.
There are many qualified plastic surgeons, and it’s important to have a conversation with your trusted surgeon about the safety measures and risks of a plastic surgery procedure. At the office of Dr. Linville, safety is always the number one concern. While all surgical procedures have some level of risk, those risks should be clearly outlined before you make your final surgery decision.
Plastic surgery can be safe depending on the quality and technique of the surgeon. Below, we will discuss some of the ways that you can ensure the safest possible experience with your procedure, as well as some pitfalls and risks to avoid.
Board-Certified Surgeons are the Only Option
The first thing you can do to make sure you will have a safe experience with your chosen plastic surgery procedure is to ensure that your surgeon of choice is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. In many cases, a good quality plastic surgeon will be certified by more than one board.
In addition to the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Linville is also certified by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American College of Surgeons, and many more.
Tour the Facility
After visiting the surgeon’s website or learning more about the surgeon’s certifications, you can also take the time to learn about the surgeon’s office. Your surgery should take place somewhere that you feel comfortable, safe, and clean. It’s also important to find out whether your surgeon has hospital privileges, meaning that they are allowed to use equipment and facilities at a hospital.
This does not mean the surgery will take place in a hospital – it will more than likely take place right there in the surgeon’s office. What hospital privileges implies, however, is that the surgeon’s peers and colleagues can vet for their professionalism and quality.
Look at Previous Results
One of the biggest risks with cosmetic surgery specifically is the risk that the patient will be unhappy with their appearance after the procedure is complete. It’s imperative that you take a look at some of your chosen surgeon’s previous work to assess the quality and technique of their surgeries.
You can also ask your surgeon directly about their experience. They should be upfront and honest with you about their surgical history to help you feel confident that you’ve made the right choice.
Know the Risks
All surgical procedures come with risks. Anything that requires anesthesia or incisions poses some risks to the patient. Have an honest conversation with your surgeon beforehand to ensure that you are aware of all of the risks and you have weighed them against the benefits of getting your chosen procedure.
Some of the most common risks with any surgical procedure, including plastic surgery, include:
- Blood loss
- Organ damage
- Nerve damage
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Anesthesia complications
- Dissatisfaction with the results
Again, your surgeon will take the time to discuss all of these risks and other common complications that can possibly occur during your surgery. However, the rate of complications is incredibly low, with the success rate running higher than 99%.
Get a Safe and High-Quality Surgical Experience with Dr. Linville!
In 2017, Surgery.org reported that Americans spent over $6.5 billion on different plastic surgery procedures. Out of all of these surgeries, the rate of complications was incredibly low. A PubMed study showed that out of 26,032 studied cases of plastic surgery, the complication rate was less than 1%.
Ready to take the next step and talk with a board-certified surgeon about your plastic surgery options? Get in touch with Dr. Linville today! You can contact our office online or give us a call at (713) 300-2567 to schedule a consultation.

“Discrimination is a violation of human rights and must not go unchallenged,”
“Everyone has the right to live with respect and dignity.”
This year’s theme Open Up, Reach Out encourages all members of the international community to unite under the banner of diversity and celebrate each other’s difference in an authoritative rejection of discrimination in all its forms.
At the same time, Zero Discrimination Day, observed annually on 1 March, draws attention to the millions who still suffer from social and economic exclusion due to prejudice and intolerance. Millions of women and girls in every region of the world, for instance, experience violence and abuse on a daily basis and struggle to access adequate health care and education.
Meanwhile, globally, there are almost 80 countries that still have laws criminalizing same-sex sexual relations while some 38 countries, territories and areas impose some form of restriction on the entry, stay and residence of people living with HIV. Furthermore, legal and social environments are still failing to address stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV and those most vulnerable to HIV infection.

Just like people, pets can develop diabetes. The condition occurs when your pet cannot process glucose the way that it should. While diabetes is most common in senior pets, it can also occur in younger or pregnant pets. There is no cure for diabetes, however, with treatment and regular visits to All Care Animals Clinic in West Palm Beach, it can be manageable.
What Are the Symptoms Of Pet Diabetes?
It is essential to your pet's health that you can recognize the early signs of diabetes. Early diagnosis is vital for a long and healthy life. The symptoms of diabetes include:
- Drinking more water than usual
- Increased urination
- Decreased appetite
- Recurring or chronic infections such as urinary infections and skin infections
- Cloudy eyes, particularly in dogs
How Is Diabetes Diagnosed?
Our veterinarian can diagnose the condition by performing a blood test to check for glucosuria and hyperglycemia. While the test is relatively simple, our vet may want to run additional tests to rule out any other underlying conditions.
How Is Diabetes In Pets Treated?
If your pet is diagnosed with diabetes, our veterinarian may prescribe insulin. It is given via injection, therefore, our vet will teach you how to administer the injection. Your pet will also need to follow an exercise and dietary regimen.
To manage your dog's diabetes, you will need to do the following:
- A high-fiber diet.
- Create an appropriate daily exercise program based on your pet's age, weight, and overall health. Our vet can help you with that.
- If your female dog is not spayed when she is diagnosed with diabetes, you should consider having it done.
To manage your cat's diabetes, you will need to do the following.
- Feed your cat a diet that is high in protein and low in carbohydrates.
- Since it can be challenging to get a cat to exercise regularly, our veterinarian can help you create an exercise plan that will work for your cat.
Whether it is your cat or your dog who has diabetes, you are going to need to stick to a strict feeding and insulin schedule. This is the best way to control their blood sugar.
If your pets are showing symptoms of diabetes, schedule an appointment with our veterinarian at All Care Animal Clinic in West Palm Beach for an assessment. Diabetes can be manageable, and with early diagnoses and treatment, your pets can live long and healthy lives. Call us at (561) 688-1154 for more information.

Characterization essay on the great gatsby this film only after your child has finished reading the book. Discuss the concept of a person inventing a new persona for him or herself and note that this is similar to the process that each person goes through as they mature from a teenager to an adult, except that it occurs during adulthood and involves a radical departure from what has gone before.
If you know anyone who has successfully reinvented themselves to be someone totally different from who they were or from what could be expected given their background, point that out to your child and note some differences and similarities between how that person and Gatsby dealt with the challenges of their lives.
Using the Film in the Classroom: Teenagers who might not have known that their families or families like theirs were overextended now know it in retrospect. Lifestyles of the rich, celebrated, blinged, and athletically gifted are bandied about in all the new and old media.
There are blow-by-blow descriptions of the rise and fall of these public figures in every news cycle. As a result, students are very comfortable with the concept of reinventing the self, and The Great Gatsby affords the opportunity to discuss the limitations of this important phenomenon of American life.
Henry David Thoreau: Collected Essays and Poems (Library of America) [Henry David Thoreau, Elizabeth Hall Witherell] on regardbouddhiste.com *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. America’s greatest nature writer and a political thinker of international renown, Henry David Thoreau crafted essays that reflect his speculative and probing cast of mind. Characterization Definition. Characterization is a literary device that is used step-by-step in literature to highlight and explain the details about a character in a story. It is in the initial stage in which the writer introduces the character with noticeable emergence. This course was created by Rebecca Epperly Wire. You can contact her through the Facebook community group with questions. You can say thank you to her with a gift. Please review the FAQs and contact us if you find a problem. Credits: 1 Recommended: 10th, 11th, 12th (This is typically the 11th grade course.) Prerequisite: Literature.
The social and psychological conditions of the main characters are manifested in the parties and social gatherings that are threaded through the novel and the film adaptations. These touch points of the story resonate with every rising generation. Cross-curricular benefits will result when reading the book is coordinated with American history classes that cover the early 20th century.
That study will anchor the novel's story into its historical context. When showing a filmed version in its entirety after the book has been read, teachers can ask students to fill out a chart comparing scenes in the novel with scenes in the movie, rating their relative effectiveness.
For classes having trouble with the text, teachers can chunk the movie and interweave it with sections of the novel.
Nick's First Gatsby Party: Beginning with Gatsby dressing; Why did Nick say that Gatsby "turned out alright in the end" and was "worth the whole damned bunch put together" even though Nick "disapproved of him from beginning to end"?
Do you agree or disagree? Explain your reasons for this conclusion. Fitzgerald tells us what he thinks at the beginning of the book. Gatsby had "an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness.
There are also other ways to say it. Some will assert that Nick admired Gatsby for his willingness to change his entire life for Daisy, the woman he genuinely loved.
He was faithful to Daisy and even willing to take responsibility for the hit-and-run automobile accident. Some might disagree with this overall positive evaluation because Gatsby was a bootlegger and a stock swindler focused on material possessions and willling to use people to get what he wanted.

In addition, in the version, the screenwriter invents scenes and adds imagery to enhance the impact of the story. Here are some examples of incidents or dialogue that appear in the version of the movie but not in the novel.
Invented for the movie is the flashback of Gatsby and Daisy at the club in Louisville where Daisy gives Gatsby the gold cufflinks, which she has convinced a rich club member to "contribute to the war effort.One steamy May morning, in the fastidiously antique, vast parlor of the century-old Gasparilla Inn, the most expensive of the handful of hotels on the island, sunlight streamed in from the outside, and giant overhead fans pushed the musty air.

Purpose : Psychological stress is well documented to increase pain responses, so called stress-induced hyperalgesia （SIH）. The neural basis for SIH is not fully understood, ample evidence supported the notions that dysfunction of brain mechanisms plays a role for SIH such as increases in nociception in the deep craniofacial tissues under psychological stress conditions.
Study selection : Descending modulatory effects of the nucleus raphe magnus （NRM） on neural activity in the trigeminal subnucleus caudalis （Vc） and upper cervical spinal Cord （C2） regions, which are well documented to be the substrates to constitute the descending pain control, can regulate pain responses in the deep craniofacial tissues, while dysfunction of descending pain controls could increase pain responses. Here, to understand the modulatory roles of stress conditions on the descending pain controls, we have determined the neural changes in the Vc, C2 and NRM regions in response to deep craniofacial tissue injury using psychophysical stressed model in the rats.
Results : Our studies revealed that repeated stress conditionings had facilitatory effects on nociceptive neural activities evoked by deep craniofacial tissue injury in Vc, C2 and NRM regions. These results appeared to be consistent with those seen in various spinal pain models, indicating that stress-induced hyperalgesia could be induced in a non-site specific manner where noxious stimulation was applied.
Conclusions : Enhanced nociceptive responses in the deep craniofacial tissues under psychophysical stress conditions could be induced by dysfunction of the descending pain controls.
“Pain” is one of body defense mechanisms and crucial for the life support. Orofacial nociceptive information is received trigeminal ganglion neurons and transmitted to trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis and upper cervical spinal cord. The nociceptive information ascends to the central nervous system ; consequently, lead to orofacial pain perception.
Recent studies have indicated that plastic changes in the activities of trigeminal ganglion neurons, satellite glial cells in trigeminal ganglion, secondary neurons, microglia and astrocytes in trigeminal spinal subnucleus caudalis and upper cervical spinal cord following orofacial inflammation and trigeminal nerve injury are responsible for orofacial pain mechanisms. This review outlines the current knowledge on the orofacial pain signaling mechanisms and its pathophysiology following trigeminal pathological changes.
Patients: A 50-year old female complained of pain on the left lateral temporal area and left-upper posterior teeth. The dentist diagnosed atypical odontalgia, and she received drug therapy. But the symptom did not change and she was referred to our pain clinic. The clinical examination and panoramic radiograph revealed no obvious problems and pathological tissue alterations. According to the criteria of the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition ; beta version, we suspected migraine without aura and neurovascular orofacial pain associated to it. In addition, she had tension-type headache and panic disorder as her past medical history. So we referred her to a physician and a psychiatrist, and managed the patient together with them. Based on the diagnosis of tension-type headache, migraine without aura and anxiety disorder, psychotherapy and kampo medicine relieved her pain and associated symptoms.
Discussion: This patient is classified into the type C of MW classification（both psychic symptoms and somatic diseases are present）. For such a case, we need multimodal management including psychological supports by psychiatrists. We managed this patient by psychotherapy and kampo medicine which could be effective for the management of pain accompanied with a variety of associated symptoms.
Conclusion: For patients with complicated orofacial conditions, both physiological and psychological problems should be taken into account, and also be managed in multidisciplinary approaches in a liaison system.
Primary glossodynia is characterized by abnormal sensations such as tongue pain without pathological changes and is not fully understood. Primary glossodynia is reported to be associated with neurophathic pain. We describe the cases of 3 patients（2 males, 1 female, mean age 54.3 years, range 42-79 years） with primary glossodynia that was treated with the concomitant medication of pregabalin （50-300mg/day）, tramadol hydrochloride/acetaminophen tablets （37.5/325-150/1,300mg/day）, and powdered processed aconite roots （0.5-1.5mg/day）. This medication remarkably relieved the patientsʼ primary glossodynia and promoted health-reated quality of life of them. Significant adverse events did not occur in any of the cases. This concomitant medication may be useful for the treatment of primary glossodynia.
Patient: The patient was a male in his mid-40s. He had been suffering from lingual hypesthesia on the right side with a burning sensation for 2 months. He visited our liaison outpatient clinic which perform team medicine by dentists and psychiatrists. According to the letter of referral, his previous oral and maxillofacial surgeon decided to refer him to our liaison outpatient clinic since the CT imaging did not show any abnormality, and he was under strong psychosocial stress. Our team performed MRI to reconsider the possibility of trigeminal neuropathy due to an organic disease, as the patient has continued to complain of his oral symptom even after his psychosocial stress relieved and the sign of depressive mood ameliorated subsequently. The MRI image pointed out some sort of cerebral abnormal lesion which could cause trigeminal neuropathy. Thus the team referred him to the neurology physicians, which turned out as trigeminal neuropathy presenting right trigeminal hypesthesia and dysesthesia caused by some organic lesion in the brain. Although the oligoclonal band was negative, the possibility of multiple sclerosis was undeniable according to the clinical presentation of spatial and temporal frequency. Therefore, careful follow up by the department of neurology is continued.
Discussion : Pain and hypesthesia are subjective complaints. Therefore, information obtained by medical interviews and appropriate examinations are particularly important for the diagnosis. This case was difficult to diagnose as strong psychosocial stress was apparent. However, performing head MRI by our clinic leaded to the discovery of organic disease in the brain.
Conclusions : This was a case first diagnosed as burning tongue caused by psychosocial stressor, but later diagnosed as some organic disease in the brain by collaboration and discussion by dentists and psychiatrists. We regarded this case as a valuable suggestive case in everyday clinical practice.
Patient: A 37-year-old man experienced severe pain at the maxillary left second molar and orbital area. First, he visited an ophthalmology clinic ; however, his pain did not alleviate. Second, he visited a nearby dental clinic, where he was prescribed clarithromycin and loxoprofen sodium ; however, his symptom did not improve. Dental caries was detected and removed. However, the pulsating severe pain over the tooth and temporal region still occurred more than 5 times per day, and this symptom was accompanied by conjunctival hyperemia and nasal discharge. When the symptoms occurred, the patient exhibited restlessness in the clinic. Since, we first diagnosed his condition as cluster headache, oxygen was administered, following which the pain decreased. Subsequently, we consulted the physician at our hospital and the patient was prescribed sumatriptan succinate 100mg. However, the patient presented to us again after the symptoms recurred. At this time, we suspected paroxysmal hemicrania（PH） and prescribed indomethacin 50mg. The symptoms of toothache and headache alleviated. There has been no recurrence of pain since then.
Discussion: In total, 15％ of patients who develop PH experience toothache, and they often visit a dental clinic with paroxysmal toothache and facial pain. In this case, the patient presented with a chief complaint of toothache ; however, the cause of toothache was thought to be PH.
Conclusion: We believe that dentists should have adequate knowledge of headaches, because patients often visit the dentistry department with neurovascular toothache.
Patient: We report a case of xerostomia and glossodynia that was treated with traditional Japanese kampo medicines.
Case: A 31-year-old female complained of dry mouth and tongue pain for two months after extraction of four wisdom teeth. Three months later, she was treated with Goreisan, but with no improvement in her symptoms.
General condition: She complained of headache, coldness of limbs, general malaise and severe menstrual pain.
Clinical test results: VAS 43, Anti-SS-A and anti SS-B antibody negative, Saxon test for xerostomia : 1.2g/2min, CMI area Ⅱ＋angry type, SDS 47, State-trait anxiety inventory（STAI）scores : state-anxiety 48（Ⅳ）, trait anxiety 47（Ⅳ）.
Clinical diagnosis: Xerostomia and psychogenic glossodynia.
Treatment and subsequent course: Since the Saxon test was 1.2g/2 min, assuming dry mouth as being the cause of the tongue pain, we started administration of 5 g/day of Hochuekkito and 5 g/day of Tokishakuyakusan. After 35 days, her Saxon test result improved to 1.9g/2 min. However, since tongue pain severity on a visual analogue scale（VAS）was 43 and she had a neurotic tendency, therapy was changed to 5 g/day of Kamishoyosan, which was discontined after 56 days when tongue pain scores on the VAS were zero.
Discussion: In this case, the patient had a combination of basal metabolic decline, body fluid loss, peripheral circulatory failure and anxiety symptoms. Therefore, her symptoms improved with a two-stage treatment consisting of supplementing vital energy and blood, controlling fluid balance and treatment of anxiety symptoms using kampo medicines.
Conclusions: In cases where xerostomia and glossodynia coexist, it may be difficult to decide the treatment policy. However, there are cases in which the treatment efficacy of xerostomia and glossodynia can be improved by using psychological tests, oriental medicine examination methods and administration of Hozai and Qi medicine.
Patient: A 38-year-old man suffered from pain of the right lower molar and difficulty with mouth opening. No abnormal findings were observed in the panoramic radiography and periodontal tissue examinations. No conspicuous pain of the right mandibular molar was observed, and there was no abnormal finding of the temporomandibular joint. Although several marked tender points were observed at the right masseter muscle, it was difficult to palpate the obvious muscle induration. Referred pain was recognized in the right first molar due to compression of the right masseter muscle. The pain was diagnosed as myofascial pain of the right masseter muscle. Observations of the right masseter muscle using the ultrasound diagnostic equipment showed findings that appeared to be adhesions of the fascia. We injected 1％ mepivacaine into the site believed to be an adhesion of the fascia under ultrasound guidance, and adhesion release was confirmed. Pain was relieved after this injection, and the extent of mouth opening was also increased.
Discussion: This case describes myofascial pain without obvious muscle induration. Symptom improvement was observed by releasing the adhesion of the fascia under ultrasound guidance.
Conclusion: This report suggests that ultrasound-guided fascia release is an effective treatment for myofascial pain without muscle induration.

Background:to combat the rapid spread of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the UAE, unprecedented steps have been taken. Public's knowledge and practices about COVID-19 have an impact on their adherence to control measures.
Aim: to assess the knowledge and practices regarding COVID‑19 among Residents in RAK Emirate - UAE during the Pandemic.
Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted on a sample (204) of clients attending Primary Health Care Centers in Ras Al-Khaimah Emirate from September to December 2020).Systematic sampling technique used to recruit the study participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Predesigned self-administered structured questionnaire to collect the data composed of the following parts: Part  socio-demographic, and information sources regarding covid19. Part  knowledge statements about covid19 and Part  practice statements about covid19.
Results: The mean age of the study group was 32.11±11.4. More than three quarter were females. The main sources of information were internet (86.8%). Most of the study group had sound knowledge and proper practices about Covid-19. The age and occupation were the independent factors affecting the overall knowledge and practice of the study group with statistically significant difference.
Conclusion: There were a positive correlation between the health care workers, family and friends and official web sites as a source of information and the overall practice of the study group with statistically significant. The public had sound knowledge and proper practice in different issues related to Covid-19. Good public knowledge about COVID-19 are helpful in maintaining safe practices. Hopefully, under the combined efforts of UAE authorities and all residents, UAE surely will win the battle against COVID-19 in the near future.

Staff Sgt. Anthony Bermudez, 28, of Dallas, was identified by the Army as the soldier killed in the incident.
The accident occurred in a commercial vehicle, not a Humvee or tactical vehicle, though the soldiers were on duty, according to Army Central spokesman Col. Armando Hernandez.
One of the two injured soldiers, a passenger in the vehicle, was transported to Al Jahra Hospital in Kuwait before they were brought by helicopter to U.S. Military Hospital–Kuwait for further evaluation and treatment, according to an Army Central press release. The soldier was in stable condition as of Tuesday.
The second injured solider was the driver of the vehicle, according to the release. That soldier was transported to U.S. Military Hospital–Kuwait immediately and discharged Tuesday after treatment for non-serious injuries.
The cause of the accident was not released and the entire incident is still being investigated, Hernandez said.
The names of the two injured soldiers are being withheld in compliance with HIPAA requirements and privacy concerns, the release stated.
“Our deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of Staff Sgt. Bermudez,” said Lt. Col. Randy McClendon, Base Support Battalion–Kuwait commander, in a statement. “Anthony was a vital asset to our team, a dedicated professional, and his service will not be forgotten.”
Bermudez was a small-arms and artillery repairer who enlisted in 2011. He attended basic training at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, and advanced training at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.
Bermudez had been deployed to Kuwait since June. This was his first overseas tour.

Gibson, James L., +quot;A Creationist view of chromosome banding and evolution+quot; Origi
Gibson, James L., "A Creationist view of chromosome banding and evolution"
Origins 13(1) 1986.
From the Geoscience Research Institute (Loma Linda University, Loma
Linda, CA 92350). From a synopsis:
Four hypotheses to explain similarities of chromosomal banding are
discussed. Such similarities could be the result of common design, of
common ancestry, of chance, or of the action of virus-like agents. The
hypothesis that chromosomal similarities could be due to chance seems
unreasonable. It seems more likely that virus-like agents would cause
differences between karyotypes than that they would change different
karyotypes to look similar. Common ancestry appears to be the most likely
basis for chromosomal similarities in species classified in the same genus,
and for some species classified in different genera. However, to extend
this explanation to higher taxonomic categories, in which similarities are
of lesser extent and of lower quality does not seem necessary. To a
creationist, it seems more probable that chromosomal similarities such as
are found within the artiodactyls, the carnivores, the marsupials or the
primates may be the result of common design.
This issue of Origins also contains a helpful summary of the recent
debate over the authenticity of Archaeopteryx and a lengthy review of
Michael Denton's book Evolution: "A Theory in Crisis [which isn't]."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/9/2014 (1024 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
These are not soldiers
The recent murders of minorities and other innocent people tells me a lot about the perpetrators. These aren’t soldiers! They’re atrocious murderers who love killing defenceless people! There’s no honour in that. Peace-loving Muslims and others should unite against this social cancer.
Police salaries out of line
Interested to read in Aug. 23 Brandon Sun Editorial that “the base wage for a first-class constable” in Brandon “will top $92,000.” This is “with five years experience.” Something wrong with this picture? I earned a diploma and degree in nursing and even after 45 years in nursing I didn’t make that much working full time. Oh, you say it is because a police job comes with high risk? Granted, nurses may or may not have guns or knives pointed at them but our risk is just as insidious, for example, dangerous viruses, SARS, AIDS, and probably coming soon Ebola. We need to get a grip on police salaries.
One minute saved
To the idiot in the white car who passed me while I was doing the legal speed limit on No. 10 highway between Ditch Lake and Onanole — you nearly caused a head-on collision. I’m glad you were able to get to Clear Lake a full one minute before I did. When you have a medical checkup you should consider being tested for stupidity.
Not seeing straight
Has anyone else been wondering about the crew that is painting the lines on Brandon roads? Many of these street lines are far from straight and look like a child painted them. Is there any quality control being done on city crews or the contractors that they hire?
No inquiry needed
I believe that a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women is not a good direction. I think the cause is obvious — as long as young girls and women are on the streets looking for drugs and companionship they will continue to be taken — we know the outcome of that. Instead of spending millions on an inquiry I think programs and a serious look at how to provide a better lifestyle would be more of a solution. However, some of this caring has to start at home.
Vive la différence
I would first like to congratulate Karli and Ashley on their wedding. As a person who was born and raised in southwestern Manitoba, it’s hard to believe how narrow-minded some people are in 2014. I consider myself a religious person, however, as a true religious person one must not past judgement on someone for their beliefs. It’s unfortunate that we still live in a society where people are constantly being judged for what they wear, what they drive and who they marry. If everyone had identical beliefs, we would only have one box store, one style of restaurant, one brand of vehicle and one church. Wouldn’t that be something.


Justin Bieber Explains How Skrillex & Diplo Added to a Song He Was Writing for Piano
Just before taking the stage at Los Angeles' Wango Tango Festival this weekend, Justin Bieber sat down with KIIS 102.7 to talk about what he has coming up -- particularly with notable recent collaborators Skrillex and Diplo.
Noting that the superstar EDM producers are "super talented," Bieber gave some insight into how their recent track "Where Are Ü Now" (currently at No. 30 on the Hot 100) came together. At first, Bieber says, the track "was just me and a piano, and then Skrillex -- him and Diplo came in and messed up the beat."
As to whether the producers (who are collectively going by the moniker Jack Ü) will be on his next album, Bieber wouldn't completely confirm it, though he said he had been in the studio with Skrillex "the other night" and mentioned recent sessions with Diplo as well.
"Overall I'm just really happy with the place I'm at, creatively," the Biebs said of his recent studio work. What will new Bieber sound like? "Uplifting music that people are going to dance to." So.. fairly similar to the Bieber of yore, though he says "it's a little different."
Don't expect to hear much from Bieber in the near future, though. "I'm using my voice in my music, rather than out here in the world," he told KIIS. "Not really talking a lot, just using my music for that."
His new contemplative outlook didn't keep him from turning up the Wango Tango crowd, however -- watch the interview and his full set below.

Why Are Carrots Not Mentioned In The Atkins Diet
What Is The Keto Diet Regimen?
The keto diet regimen is a very low-carb, higher-fat diet. It’s comparable in many means to various other low-carb diet regimens.Why Are Carrots Not Mentioned In The Atkins Diet
While you consume far fewer carbs on a keto diet, you preserve moderate healthy protein consumption and might increase your intake of fat. The decrease in carbohydrate intake puts your body in a metabolic state called ketosis, where fat, from your diet plan and also from your body, is burned for energy.
What Is Ketosis– The Science Behind Working?
Ketosis is a metabolic state which includes the production of ketone bodies via the body fat and their in-turn consumption to create energy.
The body typically uses carbohydrates (glucose or blood sugar) as the key source of energy. However, when the carbohydrate consumption in the body is reduced (less than 50 grams a day), then the body participates in a phenomenon referred to as ketosis.
Burning fat is the body’s all-natural alternative for generating power when it does not get an ample quantity of glucose.
While the body is short on carbohydrates, the insulin level in the body goes down. A large number of fats kept right into the fats are released into the body, ultimately consuming the fats. The fats are moved to the liver, where the oxidation reactions transform the acids right into ketones (ketone bodies). These ketone bodies create energy for the body.
Though the liver generates ketones consistently, ketosis modifies the rate and also quantity relying on the carbohydrate intake. In this way, ketosis assists you to shed the saved fat to produce power in the body– putting the extra fat books to helpful use.
It is worth keeping in mind that the ketosis phenomenon has two benefits. Apart from aiding you shed fat, it additionally offers you an increase of power because shedding the exact same quantity of fat produces even more power than burning the very same amount of carbohydrates.
When it comes to the best keto foods, you want to eat real low-carb foods and stick to foods with fewer than 5% carbs. Here are some examples.Why Are Carrots Not Mentioned In The Atkins Diet

Growing up in the 60's in The Youngstown Area, my "Must See" TV was "4:30 Showtime" on WFMJ-TV, channel 21, an NBC affiliate. Showtime always showed a Sci-FI movie usually the "B" type, that usually made you laugh more than be scared by the monsters, etc. that graced the screen. You could always see Space Ships flying across the skies and notice they were suspended by a string or see the zipper on an actor's monster suit. What a hoot!
Being eight or nine at the time, a few of the movies grabbed my attention and caused nightmares that reoccurred for years. Back in the Cold War Days, our parents were more worried about Nuclear War than what their children were watching on television. A family very seldom had more than one TV, a color set was a real luxury. Of course, my Dad controlled what shows we watched in the evening. After school until dinner time, I had my choice and "4:30 Showtime" was my favorite. I never dared telling my folks that some of the movies bothered me, knowing that I'd never get to watch Showtime again.
The movie that bothered me the most was, "The Sand Men". One of the corniest "B" movies ever made. Aliens landed in the outskirts of a small town and built an underground network of sand tunnels that unsuspecting locals walked upon and fell into the tunnels. The people were then captured and converted into Zombie-like creatures that were returned to their community. They slowly took over the town by attracting others to the sand dunes that swallowed up most of the town's people, including the Eight year old boy main character's father. Naturally, no one believed the little boy until it was almost too late. The military came to save the day, the boy was a hero, yadda, yadda, yadda...
Not long after seeing this flick, I had a nightmare that featured my aunt and uncle as the leaders of The Sandmen. They were always trying to capture me in my house by hiding in our furnace ducts and reaching through the grates to try and grab me. Our house actually did have huge furnace grates on the walls, being a converted coal furnace. The unmistakable sign that someone was an alien in the movie was two puncture marks on the back of their neck. This showed they had undergone the alien medical process of conversion. Never saying anything to anyone, I was always secretly checking adults for the tell-tale scars on their necks, especially my aunt and uncle.
I frequently was asked to go to my aunt and uncle's house after church on Sunday. I'd spend the day with them getting spoiled and knowing there would be special treats, like Dairy Queen. After the movie and my nightmares, I politely declined. I don't know what they thought about it, I just knew I wasn't going to become an alien! My days of visiting them alone were over.
Fast forward to 1973 when I was eighteen years old. Growing up in the Blue-Collar Steel Town of Struthers, I was a self-proclaimed Tough Guy. I admitted no fear and was always up for a challenge to prove my manhood. Then, I saw the movie, "The Exorcist". That movie scared the Crap out of me! When Linda Blair was spinning her head around and hurling Pea Soup, I was cowering low in my seat. Never appearing weak, I laughed along with my buddies afterwards proclaiming how lame the movie was. If my friends only knew then that the next day I moved my bed back upstairs after being in the basement most of my teen years.
I never trusted that dark, dank basement anyhow. When I was down there alone, I always had a feeling of someone was watching me. I'd race up the steps before anything could ever catch me. I heard enough hype about the Exorcist movie and some of the bizarre things that happened to the cast and crew. It was probably just conjured up to generate interest and help publicity. I just wasn't taking any chances. For all I knew, my aunt and uncle were still hiding in the furnace ducts!

The Kansas City area home market remains strong and continues to gain momentum. Local sales have increased nearly 8 percent year to date, making it clear that buyers are finding it to be an ideal time to enter the home search process.
Home prices in the Kansas City metro remain favorable and among some of the most affordable in the nation and we are beginning to see average sale prices moving moderately upward. This is good news for homeowners who have long anticipated gains in their home values. The average sale price for homes in the Kansas City market is currently 5 percent higher than one year ago. One reason behind this upward momentum is the low supply of homes on the market.
The latest Kansas City Real Estate Market report, published monthly by the Kansas City Regional Association of Realtors (KCRAR), indicates that the current supply of local homes for sale is just 4.5 months — a clear seller’s market.
What does this really mean for buyers? It means fewer homes to choose from and a more competitive market.
The local home inventory is down nearly 7 percent compared to the same time last year. This dwindling supply is creating longer home searches for many potential buyers who are finding it difficult to locate available homes that meet their needs.
Data also shows that homes are selling faster. In fact, average days on market are down more than 14 percent. These factors are creating a more fast-paced buying environment due to increased urgency and competition. Realtors report that in recent months, some of the most desirable homes have been receiving contracts within mere days of becoming available on the MLS.
This is just one of the many reasons why working with a Realtor is so important during a home search. These professionals have instant access to information about new properties as they enter the market, providing their clients a clear competitive advantage in the home search process. Realtors can also provide expert guidance to buyers on ways to streamline the buying process and increase the chances of finding the ideal home within the desired timeline.
With a strong buyer base out there searching for their ideal home, today’s market conditions provide distinct opportunities for homeowners who have been considering listing their home. Additionally, home values have rebounded in recent years, resulting in increased fair market values. Locally, homes are receiving an average of 96 percent of their original list price. These factors, combined with the clear need for more inventory, make now a great time to sell for many homeowners.
Whether you are ready to put your home on the market now, or simply want to know more about the home selling process, your first step is to contact an experienced Realtor who can provide you detailed insight to help you make the most informed decisions about your home.
If you don’t already have a trusted Realtor, connect with one at www.KCRealtorLink.com. There are nearly 8,000 Realtors in the Kansas City area who stand ready to serve the local market.
Dan O’Neill, MGRIm is the 2015 KCRAR president.

Facts About Prince Henry
Death of Prince Henry
Prince Henry died on November 13, 1460
It is unspecified how he died, but some says it was due to heart failure.

Inventing the Caravel was the best among his inventions. You can see that Prince Henry was very devoted to his work.
Prince Henry was also famous for improving maps of Africa, like this one. The yellow line above the line of unknown shows where his crew explored. The line going across Africa shows the uncharted world where nobody had ever explored. Prince Henry had a strong interest in exploring Africa because he had a theory that the gold from the south was coming from southern Africa.
He established a school for the study of the arts of navigation, map making, and shipbuilding. This would allow sailors to guide their ships and to come up with new ship designs.
He, his father and brothers captured the Moorish port of Ceuta in northern Morocco, that had long been a base for Barbary pirates who raided the Portuguese coast, depopulating villages by capturing their inhabitants to be sold in the African slave market.
They also succeeded in spreading Christianity.
One of the major accomplishments of his navigation was that he sponsored expeditions of discovery in the Atlantic Ocean, down the western coast of Africa.
Reasons For His Expedition
He wanted to find a sea route to Africa
To spread Christianity
He had a theory that the gold from the south was coming from southern Africa.
Although he was called Prince Henry the Navigator by the English, Prince Henry never actually sailed on any of the voyages of discovery he sponsored.
Before Prince Henry, sailors and navigators refused to sail toward Africa because they were scared of “Sea of Darkness.” They fear that they might be swallowed by a sea monster.
According to a legend, it is located where the sun was so close to the Earth that a person’s skin would burn black, the sea boiled, ships caught on fire, and monsters hid waiting to smash the ships and eat the sailors.
Out of 14 voyages to the sea of darkness, only one voyage got passed
The caravel was a new and much lighter ship and it could sail faster and further than a normal ship.
Inventions And Tools Used By Prince Henry
To measure the angle between the directions of two stars.
Used to measure the altitude of a celestial body, particularly the sun or moon
Used to calculate latitude and distance north to south from the equator.
What is the "Sea Of Darkness?"

…the creation of a character is like listening to something faint and distant. It’s like trying to remember someone one knew slightly, in passing, a very long time ago, but to remember them so that one knows them better than one knows oneself. It’s like trying to know a family member who died before one was born, from looking at photographs and objects belonging to them; also from hearing the things, often contradictory, that people say about them, the anecdotes told.
from Molly Fox’s Birthday by Deidre Madden
This morning, driving to pre-school, the cow parsley on the verges was a head-high veil of flickering white, the fields and roadsides were dotted red with poppies. Sitting here, in our loft room, I can hear the children at T’s school playing outside. The breeze is warm and gentle on my bare arms. The air smells of cut grass and privet. It’s the kind of day that you feel you are swimming out into, floating along in its warmth and fragrance. Days like this always remind me of the first page of Mrs Dalloway,
What a lark! What a plunge! For so it had always seemed to her, when, with a little squeak of the hinges, which she could hear now, she had burst open the French windows and plunged at Bourton into the open air. How fresh, how calm, stiller than this of course, the air was in the early morning; like the flap of a wave; the kiss of a wave…
Or maybe Mrs Dalloway is where I got that image of plunging into water from…it’s strange how once we’ve read something its images enter us in that way, its phrases linger.
Last week I read another wonderful book set in one day, Molly Fox’s Birthday by Deidre Madden. In this case, the day is the birthday of the famous actor, Molly Fox, the twenty-first of June, midsummer’s day. The book is quiet and unusual, constructed so that much of it takes place in the memory of its un-named playwright narrator. Friends with Molly Fox for over twenty years, she’s staying in Molly’s house in Dublin, supposedly working on her next play, while Molly is in New York. Her thoughts about identity and friendship, the unknowability of both the other and the self, are at the heart of the story, together with her reflections on writing and acting. It’s thought-provoking and captivating, and I’m really glad to have read it and encountered Deidre Madden’s work. Rachel’s lovely review says more & persuaded me to pick this up at the library.
What about you? Any favourite circadian novels? I think I’m rather in love with the form. Eva Figes’s novella Light – a day in the life of Claude Monet and his family – is another amazing read. We’re planning a weekend in the garden, a dinner with friends. Savouring the warmth and light while it’s here. I hope that you enjoy the midpoint of the year wherever it finds you.
