You may wonder whether you need to have a tooth extracted before getting braces. Be sure to discuss the pros and cons of having a tooth extracted for braces with your orthodontist before making your final decision. You might also want to research your dental health to determine if you need tooth extractions.
Often, tooth extraction is the best option for people with crowded teeth, experiencing tooth decay, or whose teeth cannot be restored. An impacted tooth makes braces more challenging to use since the tooth grows at an angle instead of straight up and down. Other cosmetic options can be used to replace any missing teeth, such as bridges, implants, and dentures if removal is necessary.
The best way to determine if you need to have your teeth removed for braces is to follow your orthodontist’s recommendation, who will assess factors such as tooth position, gum health, and any other factors that may lead to permanent tooth loss if left untreated.
Should Teeth Be Extracted Before or After Braces?
Most people wonder if they will have to extract their teeth when getting braces. This is because the effectiveness of braces depends, in some cases, on the removal of teeth. The advantages and disadvantages of tooth extraction are as follows:
Pros of Tooth Extraction Before Braces
- Tooth extraction will make additional room for braces.
- In some cases, extractions can help align teeth.
Cons of Tooth Extraction Before Braces
- Extractions can cause pain and complications.
- Extractions are more invasive than getting braces.
- In some cases, they may not be necessary.
You and your orthodontist will decide if you need teeth extracted before getting braces. Make sure you discuss the pros and cons of a tooth extraction with your orthodontist.
How Many Teeth Need to Be Extracted for Braces?
There are many things to consider before removing a tooth for braces. First, you must visit an orthodontist or dentist specializing in tooth extractions for a thorough evaluation. An orthodontist can determine whether your teeth can be straightened without removing them or whether the mouth has enough space for all your teeth to line up properly. If a tooth extraction is needed, your dentist will discuss the pros and cons with you.In general, 25% of orthodontic brace cases require dental extractions from their impacted front teeth. Usually, it results from an internal problem or an issue hidden from X-ray images. Several treatment options are available depending on the diagnosis. We have experienced dentists and oral surgeons who specialize in extraction dentistry. In addition, you will benefit from this procedure if you wish to have a more pleasing appearance to your smile.

Improvement can’t be accomplished in a second; perpetual advancement is the law of life that requests time, strength, and exertion. Would we be able to envision existence without time? No! Nor it’s truly unworkable, and in the event that it becomes conceivable then life will lose its charm and excellence. We esteem each and every occurrence due to the valuable time. Aside from time, advancement likewise requests strength and exertion. Her strength doesn’t suggest just actual strength; yet include mental and moral strength. Our readiness spurs us towards accomplishing something or accomplishing some objective. Yet, readiness without appropriate exertion is only an unpolished hatchet that has the quality to cut something into pieces, yet can’t do as such as a result of an absence of sharpness. It is effectively referenced by some researchers that “Rome wasn’t underlying a day”. It consumed a large chunk of the day for the Roman public to foster a city like Rome that was the point of convergence of the world during old times.

Shrewd classes and digitized technique for learning assist the instructors with making a climate where kids can investigate themselves and the world in a more coherent way.

I became a grandmother just a few weeks ago, and I am absolutely delighted about this new identity!
I chose a picture of me holding the brand-new baby, and I did a simple line drawing from it. I then screenprinted the drawing on fabric.
Of course, there had to be a heart somewhere on my quilt.
Then, a list of things I would like to share some day with this little being (there was not enough space on the piece of fabric for the whole list...).
I thought adding a few beads here and there was very appropriate for a little girl.
I chose almost the same colour scheme for this quilt as for my previous 12x12 quilt... Did you say "Identity"?
This is the picture I used as the source for my line drawing...
And don't forget to have a look at the Twelve by Twelve blog to see the other "Identity" quilts!

I think life is too short to keep the frozen salmon in the fridge! :-) So I made a teriyaki salmon bento, which was so fast to cook, that I had too much idle time in the morning... Just be careful not to overcook the teriyaki sauce, because it may have a burnt taste. Also, optional lotus root slices will keep the fish tender and juicy for the time when you can finally devour every last bit of it ;-)
Tamagoyaki is a great and easy to make bento ingredient. It's savory taste goes well with vegetables and diary ingredients, it packs a reasonable amount of protein and will satisfy your hunger for a long time. It's good served warm, as well as cold.
Bento is not only rice, but also other ingredients, like... pasta. This recipe came to life when I had some uncooked beef left-overs and just wondered what to do with them. Cooking them as a part of bento was a great idea!
Japanese word tamago means an egg and word yaki usually indicates that it is fried in some kind of way — with this recipe you can make a wonderful Japanese delicacy that not only tastes great, but also is a great way to make a great-looking little dish for your breakfast or bento!
Tamagoyaki has really interesting taste and springy, delicious texture.

Kyle Massey, who played Cory Baxter in the Disney Channel shows That's So Raven and Cory in the House, is now facing an arrest warrant after he missed a court date in Washington state. He was set to be arraigned in his immoral communication with a minor case on Monday, but he missed the hearing. A King County judge signed a $100,000 warrant for his arrest, TMZ reports.
Massey's arraignment was first set for late June, but he missed that date and it was rescheduled to today. Prosecutors said the former child star never arrived for the hearing. The actor's lawyer, Lee Hutton, told TMZ they called the King County District Attorney's office several times, but they have not received a response. Massey has also not been served, Hutton said. Massey's legal team is now "concerned with the misrepresentations made in court," Hutton told TMZ. "Indeed, we will move forward to defend these allegations but also determine why due process has not been followed."
The 29-year-old Massey, who competed on Dancing with the Stars in 2010, is facing one count of communication with a minor for illegal purposes. Prosecutors accused him of sending pornographic material to a 13-year-old girl between December 2018 and January 2019. The accuser also filed a civil lawsuit in March 2019, seeking $1.9 million in damages. The accuser claimed Massey sent "numerous sexually explicit text messages, images, and videos" via Snapchat, allegations that Massey denied. After the civil lawsuit stalled in court, the accuser and her family took the allegations to the sheriff's office, leading to Massey being charged in June.
After the charges were announced, Hutton told Page Six the original lawsuit was "extortive" and Massey denied the allegations. "It is unfortunate that Kyle Massey had to learn through the media yesterday that the 2019 allegations have resurfaced in the State of Washington a year after their dismissal," Hutton said on July 1. "Massey claims that the allegations then and now are extortive." Massey will "aggressively defend these accusations again and will seek civil damages from those that refuse to hear the facts," Hutton added. "We plan to seek an early dismissal — finally putting these extortive attempts to rest."
Massey starred as Cory Baxter on That's So Raven from 2003 until 2007, when he got his own short-lived spinoff, Corey in the House. He was not involved in the revival Raven's Home, which debuted in 2017. Last year, Massey was cast in Millennials, a sitcom for the ALLBLK streaming platform. After he was criminally charged, the vaping company Dr. Dabbler cut ties with Massey, who later deleted all references to the company from his Instagram page.

I spent way too much time last week thinking about baseball and circus trains. In my defense, baseball is my favorite sport and Opening Day was last Thursday. The very next day Disney premiered its new, live-action/CGI version of Dumbo. Dumbo is my all-time favorite Disney movie and I am anxious to see if the new version can hold a feather to the magic of the original.
When you spend time reflecting on baseball and circus trains, you end up making new connections. For example, did you realize that Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida have contrasting Caseys?
I didn’t either. At least not until last week.
The Casey Jr. Circus Train opened at Disneyland as an original 1955 attraction. It is a Fantasyland favorite. Partly because of its proximity to Dumbo but mostly because of its inspiring message. Can the words “I think I can, I think I can,” ever get old?
At Walt Disney World, Casey comes at the end of Main Street U.S.A. It’s not a ride but a restaurant. Famous for its foot-long chili cheese dogs, Casey’s Corner celebrates the 1888 poem “Casey at the Bat.” Main Street U.S.A. tells the story of a time in America’s past. Baseball, America’s pastime, is a perfect fit for the park’s turn-of-the-century street and story.
But the stories between Casey in California and Casey in Florida couldn’t be more different. Casey Jr. is an underpowered underdog. He is Disney’s version of The Little Engine that Could. You don’t have to keep telling yourself “I think I can, I think I can,” unless there is the under confident likelihood that you actually cannot.
Casey at the Bat doesn’t suffer from such a shortage. Quite the opposite. Casey is the team’s star player. When he comes to bat in the bottom of the ninth inning his team is down two runs and already has two outs. But no worries–runners are on second and third—and Casey is so confident that he allows the first two pitches to casually pass by as strikes.
Casey only needs one swing. One swing and a…miss. Why is there no joy in Mudville? Because their hometown hero, the mighty Casey, has struck out.
Walt Disney was a big believer in baseball. When he built his new studio in Burbank he also built an on-site baseball field. In 1946, Disney created a cartoon version of Casey at the Bat. When Gene Autry opened Angels Stadium in 1966 he insisted on two things—his new park needed to be next to Disneyland and he wanted his friend, Walt Disney, to throw out the ceremonial first pitch.
The Angels inaugural season in Anaheim was Walt’s Disney’s only season of Anaheim Angels baseball. Walt died of lung cancer in December 1966.
Before writing The Wisdom of Walt, I first tried to write a baseball book. me, Bob, and Ralph is a true story about three friends who bond around their love of the game. I still have the unfinished manuscript. I still look at it every now and again. I still hope to finish it.
On Opening Day last Thursday, I couldn’t help but think about me, Bob, and Ralph. Not the unfinished book, but the unfinished friendship. For years, the three of us spent March going to Spring Training games in Arizona and our summers traveling the country going to as many games and ballparks as possible. Our goal was to see every team and tour every stadium.
Halfway toward our goal Ralph was diagnosed with cancer. At first, Bob and I refused to believe it. Ralph was one of the good guys. He grew up an orphan on the streets of Pittsburgh and served our country as a decorated Colonel in Vietnam. Despite the difficulties, Ralph had an infectious spirit that never quit. For Ralph, every day was Opening Day. Every season was spring.
In March 2007, our trio watched our last game together. Ralph was only well enough for a quick trip to Tucson and a single exhibition game. He died in June. Bob and I were with him that night, at the Veterans Hospital, across the freeway from Tucson Electric Park where we had seen so many games together. Watching Ralph lose his battle with cancer is one of the hardest losses either of us have ever experienced.
The late Bart Giamatti (his son, Paul, plays the chauffeur in Saving Mr. Banks) warns us that “Baseball breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall all alone…when you need it most, it stops.”
But Giamatti is wrong. Baseball doesn’t break your heart. Life does.
The world will never forget Walt Disney. Bob and I will always remember Ralph. The start of spring reminds us that we all have unfinished business. The start of another season reminds me that I need to honor my friend, whom I miss so much, and take another swing at finishing me, Bob, and Ralph.
I think I can.
“Baseball is a great teacher of an important secret of living: the giving and taking in the group, the development of qualities and behavior that will stand us in good stead through life in pursuits both personal and professional.”

LONDON (ICIS)--US chemicals major LyondellBasell said on Friday its planned 500,000 tonne/year high density polyethylene (HDPE) plant will be located at its complex in La Porte, Texas.
The plant's construction will start early in 2017 and will start up in 2019, said LyondellBasell.
The company announced plans to build an HDPE plant in the US Gulf Coast in July.
Capital expenditure (capex) figures were not disclosed.
"This location [La Porte] is ideal for this facility because of the feedstock advantage we enjoy, the ability to ship product around the world and, most importantly, the outstanding workforce that the Gulf Coast has to offer," said Bob Patel, LyondellBasell’s CEO.

It has been some time (since early last May) that I wrote an In My Kitchen post. The months flew by, but somehow I managed to capture each one of them in an image – food related, but not necessarily kitchen related. For the most part, travel kept me away from the kitchen. But, travel broadens your outlook, not least in culinary matters. So, I’ve managed to store away some ideas for those less travelled months.
June saw the end of our artichoke season. They were all gathered in, a little bit past their prime before they became giant thistles. We have a hodgepodge of varieties growing in a small square of ground out the back of the kitchen. They were all pickled, packed and sealed for future use.
Two weddings on Crete this summer was quite a challenge. The first was in Chania in July and the second in Heraklion in mid-August. Both, of course, served the traditional Cretan wedding rice (gamopilafo) – more a soupy rissoto made with a rich meat stock with a little stakovoutiro (Cretan goat milk butter) added for a creamy richness. The boiled meat (lamb/goat, chicken/cockerel) was served first. Generous proportions, but it was quite tasteless. By the time the big bowls of wobbly rice arrived, I realised where all the flavour had gone. Gamopilafo is not a beautiful looking dish, but it is extremely delicious. At the wedding in Chania, to serve the huge number of wedding guests, it was stirred up with a giant wooden paddle in a massive cauldron on the edge of the outdoor reception area – a spectacle to match the lively lyra music and fast footed Cretan dancing troupe.
Late August took us back to Crete again – this time on the far east coast where wild samphire grows on the beach. How I itched to pick some, but no bag to collect it plus it needs to be consumed immediately and we were not due to go back to Athens for another day. I will try to come prepared the next time…
September we were in the opposite end of Greece, in the hills of Epirus and Western Macedonia. In the Vlach village of Samarina, the ladies of the village dry hulled out aubergine halves (along with their hot peppers) and hang them like little bells. It must be a shared Ottoman practice since it is also a common way of preserving the crop of aubergines in parts of Turkey. I was told that it is rehydrated, stuffed with rice and meat then baked with tomato sauce in the oven.
October we were back in Athens for the start of the academic year with a quick trip back to the UK. One of the little pleasures of flying is reading the gastronomy section in the inflight magazine. The issue highlighted Greece’s national cheese: Feta. It really must be difficult to photograph white on white.
In November we took a short break to the Mani in the south central Peloponnesus where we indulged in siglino, the local delicacy – an orange scented ham. One of the local restaurants used it in a variation of the Mani potato and orange salad that is traditionally served at olive harvest. And, yes, evidence of olive harvesting was all around us – a lot of industry with netting spread to catch the fallen olives and workers collecting or agitating the branches with a special mechanical tool. I will try to reverse engineer this salad with its smoky siglino, warm potatoes, Kalamata olives and orange-vinegar-olive oil dressing.
With the holidays coming up, no doubt there will be cooking again In My Kitchen. Check in with Sherry at Sherry’s Pickings for more In My Kitchen posts.

Preclinical in vitro testing for ADMET (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity) properties has come a long way in the decade since it became an important consideration in the discovery process. But it still has a long way to go.
“Before the late 1980s to early 1990s, ADME testing was not a significant component of the drug discovery effort,” noted Robert J. Guttendorf, Ph.D., vp, pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, Sequoia Pharmaceuticals.
“As a result, poor ADME was a significant contributor to attrition of drug candidates. As higher-throughput methods allowed us to be more involved in the drug discovery process, by the 2000s we were able to optimize ADME properties while simultaneously optimizing intrinsic pharmacologic activity. We became an integral part of the discovery effort, enabling teams to solve two key problems in parallel.”
Dr. Guttendorf noted that, while eventually trimming attrition due to poor ADME from 40% to 10% is a great thing, “drug discovery is not working by the old blockbuster standard anymore. Overall attrition of drug candidates is still 90 percent, and the burden has merely been shifted from ADME to toxicology and pharmacology. But since pharmacokinetics is crucial to optimizing pharmacology and toxicology in vivo, we still have significant work to do.”
There is no doubt that there are still challenges. Hinnerk Boriss, Ph.D., CEO at Sovicell, observed that “the bottleneck is in the tox part of the field. It’s difficult to come up with meaningful tox assays, because they only run a short time, and PK typically acts over the long term. So it’s hard to tell long-term toxicity and whether it has any relativity to long-term, low-level toxicity.”
At the “Predictive Human Toxicity and ADME/Tox Studies” meeting, researchers had the opportunity to assess ADMET’s impact on the quality of leads that are nominated for clinical development, as well as see what new tools and methodologies are becoming available.
“ADMET is no longer a nice-to-do tool. It has become an integral part of drug discovery and development,” noted Katya Tsaioun, Ph.D., president, Apredica. “New ADMET tools are being developed and validated. These tools are more predictive of human mechanisms of toxicities and metabolism. A lot of interesting work is being done in ADMET right now to allow organ-specific (particularly hepato- and cardio-) toxicity, and the mechanistic modes of toxicity to be predicted early in the lead-optimization process.”

Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney has echoed the sentiment of President Donald Trump on the possibility of a government shutdown this week.
Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says now that EPA is handing out buyouts, it’s likely other agencies will follow suit.
President Trump issued an executive order for federal agencies to review their policies and procedures for buying American. He suspect loopholes in buy-American laws are too often used when the government buys. Agencies are to forward their legal and procedural reviews to Commerce Secretary Wilber Ross, who will in turn deliver a draft set of recommendations by the end of the year.
The EPA said it will continue an external hiring freeze as part of its efforts to meet the White House’s government reorganization directive.
A 31 percent cut to the Environmental Protection Agency’s budget in fiscal 2018 would force EPA to cut nearly 4,000 full time equivalent employees, begin cost-saving IT modernization projects and reduce the agency’s physical footprint. New budget documents describe funding levels and policy decisions at EPA that would support the President’s 2018 budget request.
Heading toward April, the Trump administration was operating on several fronts, following the withdrawal of Republican-led legislation revising health care law.

The Environmental Protection Agency faces a 31 percent cut to its budget, a number that agency advocates say will harm the workforce and public health.
Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said proposed budget reductions for agencies such as EPA or HUD are based on the administration’s goals and priorities, and leaders at those agencies will be able to decide how best to address smaller budgets.
Significant cuts to EPA’s state programs and workforce have sent agency executives and employees’ unions scrambling to get a better understanding of what direction the Trump administration wants to take the department.
About 58 percent of federal employees say their workloads have increased since President Donald Trump authorized a temporary hiring freeze for some agencies, according to a recent survey from the National Treasury Employees Union.
The Trump administration’s plan to reduce non-defense discretionary spending by 10 percent means civilian agencies will need to look at programs and personnel, not just for this year, but for the long-term. Some fiscal observers says it’s time to consider budget process reform.
Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt has been sworn in to lead the Environmental Protection Agency
Cars coming from Mexico can reach half the world’s market with no tariffs, twice as much as cars built in the U.S.
A plan for rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure would cut across several agencies — Transportation, EPA, Interior and maybe Commerce. And that might be part of the difficulty of getting it done. Roll Call Senior Editor David Hawkings shares his take on Federal Drive with Tom Temin.

Book excerpt: George Washington did not throw a silver dollar across a mile-wide river, but he did suppress the first rebellion against the government of his newly formed nation. In Washington's case, the true stories are more interesting than the myths. And many people today may not realize that, in the end, the way he left public life was just as important as anything he did in it.

Documentary film highlights lifelong benefit of playing music
10:37 a.m., March 24, 2014--A short film by Newark resident Doortje Shover, a member of the University of Delaware’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute in Wilmington, is gaining attention for its focus on the role of music in helping Alzheimer’s patients maintain their quality of life.
Playing On is Shover’s short documentary about playing the recorder with her friend and fellow musician Buna Fletcher, a former UD lifelong learning member who has Alzheimer’s disease.
Reviresco June run
Their story will be profiled Friday, March 28, on the public television program First, WHYY’s public media newsmagazine for Delaware, at 5:30 and 11 p.m.
Shover and Fletcher met and became friends while playing in recorder ensembles at UD’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Arsht Hall in Wilmington. Both grew up in musical households and shared a love of playing music.
Unfortunately, Fletcher’s progressing Alzheimer’s disease gradually affected her ability to participate in the ensembles. She was prone to occasional outbursts and had difficulty getting along in the program. Shover was saddened to see Fletcher leave the group, especially since her friend’s musical ability hadn’t declined in the least.
Some time had passed when it occurred to Shover that she might try to play with Fletcher again. Almost on a whim, she bought some new music for recorder duets while visiting family in Holland.
Although she wasn’t sure what would happen, a personal hunch led her to hope that Fletcher would be able to pick up her recorder and play as before.
Shover’s mother had also suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, and Shover often traveled back to the Netherlands to help with the family’s caregiving efforts. As her mother’s ability to communicate diminished and she would become agitated, Shover said it helped when she would sing with her mother. She hoped that she would also be able to communicate with Fletcher through music.
Her hunches were confirmed when she sat down to play with Fletcher in her home. At first, Fletcher was confused, but then she began to play, easily sight-reading the new music Shover had brought. “I put the music in front of her, and she played it beautifully just like she would have before,” said Shover.
Shover continued to introduce new pieces on the Fridays when they played together, and Fletcher continued to sight-read and learn the new music, playing as expressively and beautifully as always.
“I am still so amazed by it, how wonderfully she continues to play,” said Shover. “In fact, sometimes I don't count properly while we’re playing, and Buna stops, knowing something is wrong.”
Just as significant, Shover noticed that Fletcher appeared happier while she was playing, and often, for the rest of the day as well. Family members and caregivers remarked that Fletcher would have a more positive demeanor and was somewhat more responsive on the days she played.
On one particular day when Fletcher and Shover had played together more than usual, Fletcher’s family was astonished when she spontaneously began drawing sketches of family members at dinner. Although an artist all her life, such flashes of creative expression were nearly unheard of since Fletcher’s worsening Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
Shover’s enthusiasm for their shared musical experience continued to grow, realizing that through music, she and Fletcher were able to continue their friendship, communicating without words. “It’s a language that we have amongst ourselves,” said Shover. “It is nonverbal, it is beautiful, it is from the soul, and it is purely emotional.”
Shover's next thought was, “This is so amazing, it has to be filmed.”
After a few months of playing duets with Fletcher, Shover wanted to share the experience with a wider audience, who she felt could benefit from the message of how music might help us connect with those experiencing cognitive decline.
“I had no clue of how to go about it, but I knew it had to be on film,” said Shover. “I was just so fortunate to find the right people.”
Through fellow UD lifelong learning member and instructor Peggy Brick, she partnered with educational filmmaker Mark Schoen to produce the documentary last year. Family and friends from all around the world helped with critical fundraising.
The 10-minute documentary Playing On features Shover and Fletcher's haunting recorder harmonies, as well as conversations with both musicians, and with family and friends of Buna Fletcher. Another highlight is the family photo history tracing Fletcher's musical upbringing.
Shover’s film premiered at a UD reception hosted at Goodstay Center in Wilmington last fall, which also featured performances by recorder ensembles from UD’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute in Wilmington.
The documentary will also be screened at the Wilmington Film Festival on April 27.
“I feel a great hope from this story, that even if a time comes when we cannot communicate in other ways, that music can be a nonverbal language where we will be able to connect with each other and experience joy,” added Shover.
After its initial airing this Friday, the WHYY segment about Fletcher and Shover will appear on the WHYY First website.

Keeping Family Farms Thriving
Many people are surprised to learn that 97% of farms in Nebraska are family owned. That statistic flies in the face of those who believe that we’ve “lost” the traditional family farm to large corporate farming. Clearly, that is not the case. In fact, many of these Nebraska farms have been in the family for generations, having actually got their start as part of the Homestead Act of 1862. It’s not unusual to find Nebraska corn family farms that have been around for more than a century.
For a closer look at how these farms thrive in today’s environment, check out CornsTalk’s Fall 2015 article about family farms or explore the videos below.
With that kind of family tradition, it’s clear that Nebraska corn farmers are dedicated to preserving the land, protecting the environment, improving soil health, water quality and being good stewards of our natural resources. After all, land and water are the very foundation of agricultural production and the ability to continue a family tradition of farming for generations to come.
Growing More with Less
Through responsible stewardship, new genetics and improved management practices, Nebraska corn farmers are growing more corn with less – less fertilizer, less chemicals, less water, less land and less of an impact on the environment.
Sustaining agricultural innovation – an unwavering commitment to doing a better job in every row, on every acre, on every farm, every season. It’s how family corn farmers in Nebraska and the nation are ensuring the long-term viability of their industry and our natural resources.
Nebraska’s corn farmers – and their fellow corn farmers across the U.S. – continue to make significant advancements that have a direct impact on the sustainability of corn production and the natural, environmental and social systems that are connected to it.
Today’s Smart Farm
Farmers are among the first to adapt new technologies and innovation. Here are just a few of the advancements in smart farming technologies and management practices that Nebraska corn farmers are using to grow more with less:
- Precision agriculture that uses GPS technology and mapping to help farmers place seed, fertilizer and crop protection production in exactly the right place and in exactly the right amount.
- Mapping technologies that allow farmers to manage their crops down to the square inch, helping them target their crop inputs to the areas that need them most.
- Soil moisture monitors that help farmers know how much water their crop really needs.
- Soil testing to understand current nutrient levels and apply fertilizer on a “prescription” basis to match the needs of the soil and the crop in specific areas of the field.
- Variable-rate irrigation that controls the amount of water that is applied to specific sections of the field – applying more water in areas that need it, and no water in areas that don’t.
- Sensors that “read” the health of the plants to determine disease, stress or the need for fertilizer.
- Use of cover crops between harvest and planting to hold soil in place over the winter, improve soil health, reduce erosion, increase the ability of the soil to retain and store moisture, and add nutrients to soil – thus reducing the amount of fertilizer required.

The clock is ticking. Christmas is officially less than one week away.
While I thrive under the pressure of waiting until the last minute to buy presents — I love shopping on Christmas Eve — others find the whole thing stressful. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
If you know someone who is a gamer and are looking to surprise them this year, here are some easy gifts you can buy. This article is dedicated to Xbox, specifically, and gifts that you can purchase at the very last minute.
Xbox Gift Card
This is the most straightforward present you could give someone. An Xbox Gift Card is basically the equivalent of cash but shows you at least put a little thought into the present by thinking about their console of choice.
The best part is, you don’t even have to go to the store these days to get it. You can purchase a digital Xbox Gift Card directly from the Microsoft website. You can select a value anywhere between $1 and $100. The Gift Card can be used at the Microsoft Store online, on Windows, and on Xbox, and there are no fees or expiration dates. It can be used to buy games, apps, movies, shows and even peripherals.
Xbox Game Pass Core 12-Month Membership ($59.99)
If the person you’re buying for already owns an Xbox, then consider buying the a membership to Xbox Game Pass Core. This is Microsoft’s new version of Xbox Live Gold. It’s required to play most games online and offers access to a library of over 25 games to play on Xbox consoles.
Xbox Series X or S console
Want to splurge? Consider buying an actual Xbox console. The Xbox Series S – Starter Bundle is available for $249.99, a savings of $50 from its normal price. This comes with the Series S console and three months of Game Pass Ultimate.
Xbox Series X|S Wireless Controller
Target currently has a variety of Xbox wireless controllers available for $10 off. You can find these in stores or online and they still say shipping will arrive by Christmas Eve. Although the Xbox comes with a controller, a second controller, or something with this special design or color, will surely be appreciated.
Getting an actual game for someone is a bit trickier because it requires that you actually know their interests. Baldur’s Gate 3 ($69.99), for example, is the 2023 Game of the Year, but it’s a fantasy strategy RPG that’s admittedly not for everyone. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor ($34.99) is an amazing game for Star Wars fans, but also requires that they’ve played Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Cyberpunk 2077 ($29.99), once a colossal disappointment, is finally a game worth playing — and it’s quite good now!
Here are some noteworthy games that were released on Xbox in 2023 that may be worth buying someone:
- Diablo IV
- Dead Space
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Forza Motorsport
You really can’t go wrong with any of these gifts and while they may not be as fun as something personalized, everyone loves the freedom that a gift card allows for.


Cheers, Theresa. The PM is already showing the sort of common sense her predecessor frequently lacked. The slapdown for top doc Dame Sally Davies over alcohol guidelines is significant. May’s move shows a government intent on treating us like grown-ups, not like children who need to be nannied. Her hysterical warning that ANY amount of alcohol is bad for you was simply ridiculous… As the Brexit vote showed, we Brits like to make up our own minds – regardless of a small, closed Westminster cabal hectoring us.
Sun on Sunday editorial, 21 August
If a trendy charity announced that it was holding seminars for burglars, to show them how to avoid being hurt in the course of breaking into our homes, you wouldn’t expect the police to approve. They may not care all that much about crime these days, but they’d have to put a stop to it. Yet when a trendy charity offered to test illegal drugs for ‘quality’ at a music festival inCambridgeshire, the local police gave their blessing. The ‘tests’ duly went ahead, and hundreds of squalid, selfish people went unpunished for blatant breaches of criminal law. All that users of illegal drugs need to know about quality is that they are dangerous. That’s why it is illegal to possess them.
Peter Hitchens, Mail on Sunday, 31 July
Debates about harm reduction always follow the same pattern. Hysterical fears are confidently asserted as if proven beyond doubt while potential benefits, often based on considerable research and experience, are dismissed or ignored.
Alex Wodak, Guardian, 11 August
If we really want to treat addiction like the medical problem it so clearly is, we can’t use the criminal justice system to arrest people for showing symptoms of it. If you want to fight stigma, you’ve got to first fight criminalisation and reform the coercive and demeaning addiction treatment system that has been warped by it.
Maia Szalavitz, Guardian, 5 July
Several studies have shownthat a belief in the disease concept of addiction increases the probability of relapse. And that shouldn’t be surprising. If you think you have a chronic disease, how hard are you going to work to get better? If we can acknowledge that addiction is like a disease in some ways and very much unlike a disease in other ways, maybe we can stop trying to label it and pay more attention to the best means for overcoming it.

Dylan Cottrell (Photo/Glenville State Athletics)
GLENVILLE, W.Va. -- The Glenville State College Athletic Department is pleased to announce the addition of wrestling to the list of Pioneer athletic teams, as well as the hiring of Dylan Cottrell as the head coach for the new team.
Cottrell comes to GSC after serving as an assistant coach at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island from 2017 - 2018. He also served as head coach of the Brown Wrestling Club.
He was the first Big 12 Champion at West Virginia University in wrestling, an Academic All-Big 12 team member in 2016 - 17, a two-time Dean's List honoree, a two-time wrestling team captain, and a three-time NCAA qualifier.
Cottrell graduated from WVU with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications Studies and is currently pursuing a Master of Science degree in Healthcare Administration from Marshall University. While earning his Masters, Cottrell has served as a coach for Cabell Midland High School.
The GSC wrestling program is set to begin competition during the 2020 - 2021 athletic season as a member of NCAA Division II and the Mountain East Conference.
"I am excited about the opportunity to bring back wrestling to Glenville State College and build a strong team culture from the ground up! I am looking forward to getting to work on the first recruiting class for the Pioneers and bringing future national champions to Glenville," said Cottrell. "This personally is an amazing opportunity for me to get closer to my hometown of Spencer, West Virginia - and in the process build Glenville State College wrestling into a powerhouse program. Go Pioneers!"
"We are extremely excited about Dylan leading our wrestling program," said GSC Athletic Director Jesse Skiles. "I truly believe we found the right coach and mentor to re-start and lead this program. Dylan has a great background in wrestling, from being the first Big 12 Champion for WVU to helping to coach at Brown University. We are happy and excited to have this Mountaineer joining our Pioneer Family."
Wrestling will return to GSC for the first time since 1974. It becomes the 20th varsity sport available to student-athletes at the institution. The Mountain East Conference hosted the first-ever conference championship in wrestling during the 2019-20 athletic season.
Glenville State College is a four-year, public school in Glenville in north-central West Virginia, north of Charleston and southeast of Parkersburg. Founded in 1872, GSC has an enrollment of approximately 1,800 students.

Haven’t found one of those in Knoxville, yet. But I keep looking. Mole really is a culinary wonder when done well—and I don’t care what it’s sitting on top of (enchiladas or chicken, mostly), which serves as simply a mole delivery system, as far as I’m concerned. I just want that sauce. There may be different types of mole in Mexican cuisine, but what I’m after is the thick, dark red stuff that’s been cooking for a day or so.
Unfortunately, the main obstacle to finding great mole sauce is the simple fact that great mole sauce can be difficult and time-consuming to cook. Therefore, most restaurants don’t bother—not when there’s bottled mole to make things quick and easy. Here’s a list of just some of the potential ingredients that can be blended together for mole: guajillo chiles, ancho chiles, chipotle chiles, pasilla chiles, chopped peanuts, raisins, dark chocolate, sugar, tomatoes, onions, garlic, tortillas, chicken broth. And then there are the spices, like cumin, thyme, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice, for starters. There are probably a few dozen other ingredients I haven’t even heard of but are present in different styles of mole.
Really, your best option for great mole is to cook it at home. But I still keep hoping to locate an expert chef to do it right (and make it easier for me to consume).
And that brings us to O! Chulo’s Grill and Bar, an unpretentious Mexican restaurant in the same plaza as Anaba Japanese Cuisine off Northshore Drive near the Pellissippi Parkway. (With Northshore Brasserie and Farmacy across the street a ways, this has become a pocket dining destination.) Chulo’s (which is Mexican slang for “cute,” usually) claims “The Real Mexican Taste” as its slogan, and I won’t dispute it, as I’m not much of an authority on Mexican cuisine. I will say that I think Chulo’s is a cut above most of the standard-issue Mexican restaurants in town, which typically serve the same Tex-Mex dishes with the same lack of flair. On a previous visit, I ordered Chulo’s molcajete in a stone bowl and really enjoyed it—it’s sort of an all-in-one dish with chicken, steak, shrimp, pork and chorizo, with onions, cheese, and a plank of cactus on top. (Enough protein for two, really.) I also give the chilaquiles de pollo (eggs, chicken, and tortillas in a red sauce) a solid thumbs up.
Furthermore, the place is friendly and comfortable. I wouldn’t mind hanging out there at all, and I’m not one who usually likes to hang out.
That said, the enchiladas poblanas with mole did not strike me as especially different from other chicken enchiladas with mole sauce I’ve had around town. It’s certainly tasty, and hits the obvious notes, but it’s not very complex—I wasn’t getting waves of different flavors so much as the one-two of chiles and chocolate. Did it come from a bottle? I don’t know—but as mentioned, it does taste pretty similar to the moles offered by other restaurants in town. I’m afraid my quest must continue.
Worth a return visit?
Maybe not for the mole, but if you’re out west and want pretty good Mexican fare in a low-key atmosphere, sure.

And it’s completely up to you as to how much you earn. Gaming sites like uVme, King, Pogo make it exceptionally easy for you to create an account and asset it when you want. If you don’t want to place a bet, you can also play these games free of charge. Since they are skill based games, everyone has an equal chance of winning.
Games to Play
There are many types of games online that you can play for money. Skills games such as darts, pool and strategy games such as Sudoku are available for you to play at any time. When joining an online gaming site, make sure you read the rules so you will know how much to place into your account and how often you can withdraw funds.
The games you will find on most online gaming sites are short games that are timed to make them more difficult. With attractive graphics, these games are easy to learn and play. The more you practice, the better you will become. Some individuals who play on these sites have practiced for many hours, so be sure before you place your bet that you practice enough so you can beat them.
Appeal of Online Gaming Sites
Online gaming sites have become more ufabet พนันบอล popular throughout the years because the games are easy to play and there’s always someone willing to bet against you. Online gaming sites don’t contain obscene graphics, allow you to play free of charge, and are challenging enough for each skill level.

Assessing Older Patients in Acute setting:- Views from Registrar on Call
As a registrar, I wear two hats – my day-to-day geriatrician's hat, where I look after older patients on the geriatric ward in hospital and my medical registrar on-call hat where I am responsible for the medical take. Theoretically, the person under the hat should be the same [ie in terms of clinical approach, acumen and practice]. And if I see an older patient through the course of the acute take, then it could be construed that the patient has seen a specialist [akin to the Cardiology Registrar assessing a patient with a Myocardial infarction]. However, in reality the roles and setting produce two very different versions of me as a physician. The acute take hat brings out my very stream-lined, managerial, dictatorial at times confrontational doctor-in-me and my clinical assessment revolves around acute medical issues; performing or supervising procedures; can the patient go home; does the patient need ITU/HDU?
I find it difficult to amalgamate the geriatric hat into the acute setting particularly with regards towards assessing older patients particularly frail patients who need a comprehensive geriatric review[CGA]. The dawning of this realization came as a surprise to me as a trainee geriatric registrar (and perhaps the reader), for whom the CGA is considered bread and butter. The reasons are manifold:- time pressures, the bleep, the sick patient in resus, the odd hour of 0200 or the lengthening number of patients waiting to be seen usually defer or impede my ability to fully screen the patient. To list a few snags:
- AMTS and Prescription review :- generally the easiest to do as they are increasingly being incorporated into the clerking history
- Collateral history:- can be difficult if relatives absent; the carer is not present and odd time of day, at times exhaustive to fully explore decline, family dynamics and social circumstances
- Screening for dementia or delirium- ascertaining the long-standing nature of the confusion and is this just a normal fluctuation or acute delirium?
- Digital rectal examination:- enables the assessment of the sacrum for pressure areas and also constipation- oft neglected
- Vision and hearing:- maybe obvious from end of bed
- End of life decisions :- Is patient on end of life register, should he/she be palliated from the outset, this in turns merit discussion with next –of-kin
- DNAR decisions – should we involve patient or call the family at 0300
- Continence :- is that catheter new from A/E or Long-term?
- Assessment of Gait:- from A/E trolleys; ‘tubes, wires and monitors’; lack of appropriate footwear and chairs can be a hair-raising venture
Considering my own struggles, I am not surprised that the most common decision is to admit older, frailer patients with multiple co-morbidities with a presumed diagnosis of ‘Off legs’ or UTI. It is an easy, seductive and logical decision to defer the immediate clinical decision and just admit the patient for the morning/next-day review by the Post-take consultant or geriatric team (we have all been there). Of course holding onto this group of patients in hospital for an extended length of time opens the door to a potential cascade of knock-on effects:- worsening of confusion brought on by a change of environment (in a busy and usually noisy AMU setting), in-patients falls and fractures, Hospital acquired infections; decanting of these patients to other wards/beds in a bed crisis setting. The initial decision to admit, which was originally made with a good intentions, can usually lead to down-ward spiral.
At a consultant-level, the same hurdles and problems are faced the next morning. A geriatric consultant on an unselected general Post-take round :- faced with an older confused patient (and 15 more patients waiting to be seen) with only a few lines of history and scanty clinical exam jotted down. The BGS guidance on the Acute care of the Older Patient (BGS 2010) (Banerjee 2012) and developments of Acute Geriatric and Fraility Units along-with outreach services like OPAL (Harari, et al. 2007) are steps in the right direction. Can we achieve the Holy Grail and deliver a modified CGA- 24 hours a day and at the front-line of emergency services [both A/E and GP out-of-hours]? With the passing years, increased experience and seniority, I have noticed that I have developed and honed my ‘gut impressions’ that this patient can go home or is displaying signs of End of Life. It has been possible to incorporate various sections of the CGA into my initial medical assessment [such as detailed collateral and continence history, PR, and AMTS as routine parts of examination]. If we can incorporate basic elements of this at grass-root levels [medical students and Foundation year /GP/medical CT curriculum]and effect a ‘culture change’ this will go some-way to helping assessing older patients in the acute setting.

Implementation of a Component-By-Component Algorithm to Generate Small Low-Discrepancy Samples
In [B. Doerr, M. Gnewuch, P. Kritzer, F. Pillichshammer. Monte Carlo Methods Appl., 14:129–149, 2008], a component-by-component (CBC) approach to generate small low-discrepancy samples was proposed and analyzed. The method is based on randomized rounding satisfying hard constraints and its derandomization. In this paper we discuss how to implement the algorithm and present first numerical experiments. We observe that the generated points in many cases have a significantly better star discrepancy than what is guaranteed by the theoretical upper bound. Moreover, we exhibit that the actual discrepancy is mainly caused by the underlying grid structure, whereas the rounding errors have a negligible contribution. Hence to improve the algorithm, we propose and analyze a randomized point placement. We also study a hybrid approach which combines classical low-discrepancy sequences and the CBC algorithm.

Kim Jong Un handing out copies of "Mein Kampf"Breaking News
tags: WaPo, Nazism, Adolf Hitler, North Korea, Kim Jong Un, Mein Kampf
Senior North Korean officials received copies of “Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler’s rambling prison memoir, as gifts for Kim Jong Un’s birthday this January, according to a report by New Focus International, a North Korean news organization that sources from defectors and volunteer citizens within the country.
The famous Nazi autobiography was reportedly distributed as what’s called a “hundred-copy book,” which refers to Pyongyang’s practice of circulating an extremely limited number of copies among top officials, though most books are forbidden in North Korea. Gifts marking the leader’s birthday are typically imbued with special political significance.
The book was apparently not distributed to endorse Nazism so much as to draw attention to Germany’s economic and military reconstruction after World War One. A North Korean who works on behalf of the country in China told New Focus that Kim gave a speech endorsing Germany’s inter-war revival and encouraging officials to read “Mein Kampf.”...

(Bloomberg) -- Writer E. Jean Carroll urged the District of Columbia’s highest local court to reject what her lawyers described as a “troubling” position by Donald Trump and the Justice Department that elected officials are immune against defamation claims whenever they speak about matters of public concern.
Carroll accused Trump of defaming her when he made disparaging comments in response to her allegation that he raped her in a department store dressing room several decades ago. The future of her lawsuit hinges on convincing the appeals court judges that Trump isn’t entitled to a legal protection that covers federal employees against being sued over actions they take as part of their job.
“Presidents are free to deny allegations of misconduct,” Carroll’s lawyers wrote in a brief filed Thursday. “But a White House job is not a promise of unlimited authority to brutalize victims of prior wrongdoing through vicious, personal, defamatory attacks.”
The suit was filed in New York, where Carroll lives, but a federal appeals court kicked the core question about Trump’s potential immunity to the DC Court of Appeals, since Trump made the allegedly defamatory statements in Washington. A hearing is set for Jan. 10.
Carroll’s attorneys argued that because Trump “acted with private motives” in speaking out against the writer, the DC court didn’t need to grapple with broadly defining the scope of a president’s duties. They argued against giving public officials “carte blanche to use the public platform inherent in their office to defame any private citizen -- anywhere, anytime, for any reason.”
“It would send a troubling message for the court to find that Trump’s repeated defamatory attacks on Carroll were simply part of his job,” Carroll’s lawyers wrote.
Carroll sued Trump as a private citizen, and nearly a year into the litigation --and while Trump was still in office -- the Justice Department moved to intervene and substitute the US government for the defendant. That change would effectively end the lawsuit, since the US is immune against defamation claims.
A federal district judge in Manhattan refused to let the Justice Department step in, making two key findings: first, that a sitting president wasn’t a government employee entitled to immunity under a federal law known as the Westfall Act; and second, that even if Trump did fall under the law, his comments about Carroll were outside his official duties as president.
The Justice Department kept up the fight after Trump left office. Government attorneys under the Biden administration made clear that they weren’t endorsing the substance of what Trump said about Carroll but agreed with him in principle on the sweep of immunity that applied to a sitting president.
The 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals revived the fight in September, finding that a president could fall under the Westfall Act. But the judges also found that DC law wasn’t clear on whether Trump’s comments about Carroll would fall within the scope of his employment, and sent that question to DC’s equivalent of a state supreme court.
Trump and the Justice Department argued in briefs last month that the scope of a president’s duties included communicating with the press and the public about issues of public concern, including personal matters that raised questions about his fitness to serve.
The underlying case has moved forward in the meantime. Trump appeared for a deposition in October; that testimony isn’t part of the record on appeal, however. Carroll recently filed a separate lawsuit accusing Trump of battery in connection with her rape claim under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which took effect in November.
