An infected tooth or abscess causes noticeable pain and discomfort in or around your tooth. Pressure, swelling and throbbing pain all affect your daily life — whenever you eat, chew, swallow or speak. Because of the swelling, you may feel the pain every time you close your mouth, inadvertently putting pressure on the affected tooth.
Because of the potential for infections to spread to your jaw and other parts of your body, you’re advised to have any tooth infection symptoms evaluated immediately. Depending on the location and severity of your infection, your family dentist at Albany County Dental Associates has the tools and techniques to try to save the natural tooth and relieve you of pain.
An infection can quickly spread throughout your body, eating away at bone tissue and causing nerve death where it goes. It can even cause a life-threatening condition called sepsis. When you have a tooth infection, it’s called an abscess. There are two types:
A tooth infection occurs for multiple reasons. As long as you practice good dental health habits, you may be able to prevent an infection from starting. And if you see your dentist in the capital area twice a year, you can stop it before it gets too painful. Causes include:
Like most infections, a tooth infection can have serious and painful symptoms and consequences. If you notice any of these symptoms, check in immediately with your Albany County dentist or area emergency room:
After a physical examination and x-rays, your Albany-area family dentist presents treatment options. If the infection is contained, you may just need a thorough cleaning to excavate any infected, compromised material. Antibiotics,
of the tooth, root canal treatment or dental surgery are options to eliminate the infection and stabilize the compromised tooth. Medication in the form of gels or pellets combat the infection and your pain.
Once you’ve healed, you may require a further treatment. In the case of a wisdom tooth infection or a severely compromised tooth, your dentist may recommend a root canal, periodontal surgery or extraction. Altered diet and medications may be required for a brief period of time to ensure the treatment has the best results.
The infected tooth may be compromised, but it can also affect neighboring teeth as the infection begins to spread. Because of this, not only is immediate evaluation and treatment necessary, but you need to continue your vigilance and dental health habits. Preventing another tooth infection gives you the best outcome for the future.
Good prevention techniques include drinking fluoridated water, keeping up with regular dental checkups, avoiding sugary foods and drinks, and implementing proper dental hygiene, such as:
Next to tooth trauma, an infected tooth is one of the most painful dental conditions. Your dentist at Albany County Dental Associates works to quickly assess, diagnose and cure your tooth infection so you can get back to your normal daily routine. Contact Albany Dental if you notice any symptoms of an infection.

Initiative aims to end 'schoolhouse to jailhouse pipeline': GWEN IFILL: Next: a major expansion of a national program aimed at improving the lives of disadvantaged young men, known as My Brother’s Keeper.
Greater access to early education, reducing school suspensions, and recruiting mentors, 25,000 of them, around the country, those steps are part of the expansion of the president’s effort to improve life chances for young men of color, often more likely to be expelled from school than to succeed.
Sixty of the country’s largest public school systems, who educate nearly three million boys of color, joined the effort today, as well as mayors, corporations like AT&T, nonprofits like the Emerson Collective, and the national Basketball Association.
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul:
CHRIS PAUL, Point Guard, Los Angeles Clippers: With the My Brother’s Keeper initiative, this is our opportunity to stand together as athletes, as parents, as mentors, and as leaders in our communities to show our young men and boys of color with our action that we are behind them and that their success matters.
GWEN IFILL: No federal money is involved in the expanded multiyear effort, but the companies and foundations have pledged an additional $100 million to the effort. That follows $200 million pledged when the program was announced last winter.

Despite a lingering shortage in education funding, Clark County School District could get a cash infusion that would address some longtime needs.
During the 2019 legislative session in Carson City, the Assembly and Senate passed Assembly Speaker Jason Frierson's AB309 bill, which permits counties to pass a quarter-cent sales tax raise to garner more funds. An estimated -- and strictly supplemental -- $108 million could be generated for education if the Clark County Commission votes for the increase.
On Thursday, both the commission and the Clark County School District Board of Trustees gathered for a joint meeting -- the first-ever of its kind -- to discuss what specific areas that money could fund should they vote on the tax bump. During that four-hour meeting, the two ruling bodies addressed pre-kindergarten schooling, truancy, adult education and retaining/recruiting teachers.
Commissioner Tick Segerblom was at the meeting. He told KNPR's State of Nevada that it was "very cooperative."
"The fact is that's what government is about," he said, "We should open up and talk to each other. And if we have problems, let's get them out in the public and debate them."
Segerblom said raising the sales tax in Clark County is a way to keep money in the county. Because of the way the school funding formula works, money raised through taxes in Clark County goes into one fund and is distributed throughout the state, which means the county is subsidizing other public education systems around the state.
If the tax is raised, it could put about $54 million -- or half of the projected additional tax revenue -- directly to the school district, Segerblom said.
"Anything we can do to help teachers and students, I'm for it," he said.
There is a problem with a sales tax. It is regressive, which means it impacts people with lower incomes more than people with large incomes because even a few pennies more takes a larger bite out of their budgets.
Hugh Jackson is the editor of the Nevada Current. He said the Legislature could have allowed the county to raise other taxes like the gaming tax.
Jackson pointed out that Nevada taxes gaming companies at 6.75 percent but other states tax them at much higher rates, sometimes as much as 40 percent.
"Nobody discusses the gaming tax," he said, "Somehow it's become sacrosanct. You can't discuss it. It's like Voldermort or something."
He thinks it is absurd that raising the gaming tax to pay for better education can't even be discussed.
Segerblom, who served in the Legislature for several years, admits it is unlikely that Nevada lawmakers would raise the gaming tax, especially because it takes a two-thirds majority to pass any tax hike.
While he understands that sales taxes are regressive, he thinks it is a good way to start the effort to raise more funds within the county for education.
"I do think if we pass this sales tax, and we start this collaborative effort, and we actually show concrete results, then that will open it up," he said.
Furthermore, Segerblom believes if the county and school district can show the legislature they can work together on funding, then lawmakers will be more likely to let the county raise other taxes.
One part of that working together will be monitoring where the money is spent and what the results are.
"I think we're not just going to say, 'take the money and run and we trust you,'" Segerblom said.
It will take five of the seven commissioners to approve the sales tax hike.

Better Dog Beds Through Science: Casper has taken the human mattress industry by storm with its futuristic and scientific spring free designs, which have won endless awards and acclaim, including high praise from Consumer Reports, Wired and Good Housekeeping, while Time Magazine named Casper’s mattress one of the Top 25 Inventions of 2015 and Architectural Digest called it “the perfect mattress, according to science.” Dogs spend half their lives sleeping, and the folks at Casper claim to have done 11 months of canine sleep studies and developed over one hundred protypes. The resulting Casper Dog Mattress was designed by the same engineering team behind all of Casper’s mattress products, crafted with a combination of pressure-relieving memory foam and durable support foam. It immediately got the same kind of rave reviews the big versions did, from Gizmodo, Fast Company and CNN, which called it “the perfect mattress for every dog.” Dogs like the feeling of protection and for this reason many prefer bolstered beds - this one gives them four-sided peace of mind. It is also owner friendly, very durable and bite and scratch resistant, the durable cover repels fur, it is easily removable and machine washable, and for dog safety, zippers are hidden. Because dogs often like to scratch or dig before laying down, an inherited instinct of digging up dirt to find cooler ground, they designed the bed’s surface with excess material on top to mimic the sensation of pawing at loose earth. And just like Casper’s human products, it comes with a 100-night sleep trial. In three colors and four sizes, $125-$225
“My favorite dog-related item that I personally own is a gift I gave myself when I got into the business of dog training: a specially sized Bone Toggle Collar from Wagwear, an New York City–based doggy accessories boutique,” says Anthony Newman, a certified canine-behavior consultant who founded Calm Energy Dog Training. “I’ve worn it on my wrist now for nearly ten years, all day every day; it expresses my love for dogs and it’s truly unique, with beautiful hand-stitched leather and brass. Though I suppose you can also use it as an actual dog collar, as founder and designer Amy intended it.”
Jefferson may have sheep or goat guarding instincts in his DNA and needs a leader who is willing and able to establish themselves as a natural authority. He has an experienced foster who can tell you all about his training and needs. Jefferson is looking for someone willing to put the effort into being consistent and firm so that he can relax and enjoy the good life. Jefferson loves other dogs and is very social.

He has good energy and enjoys keeping up with others, but has an off switch and loves to chill as well. Jefferson loves car rides and just being with his people and being the big goofball that he is!

While this product doesn’t scream “I’m a dog mom” to those who aren’t in the know, the Second Chance Movement is taking dogs out of high-kill shelters and moving them to no-kill shelters around the country where they have a chance at a forever home instead of euthanasia. This water bottle funds 4 miles of transport for a dog at risk of euthanasia. What better gift for a dog mom than helping to save the life on an innocent dog?
Now I take longer and longer walks every day (walks are my favorite thing), I still eat, I sometimes go in a kennel but only if my foster parents are gone for a long time, I sleep in that cozy bed at night, I tried swimming but prefer floating in a tube, and I spend my day looking for tummy rubs. I just like to chill and occasionally bark at the computer printer. I am potty trained, and I play with toys on occasion but I am not destructive.
Those traits are the foundation of the Lab’s personality, but each dog puts his own spin on them. Some are serious, some are clowns, some are reserved, some never meet a stranger. You might hear that Lab personalities vary by color, but it’s more likely that a dog’s temperament is affected by the breeder’s goals. Labs from breeders who produce top-winning field-trial dogs are more demanding when it comes to exercise and training. They are unsuited to lying around the house all day while everyone is at work or school. More laid back Labs typically come from a breeder who shows dogs in conformation.

The bloodlines as traced by Vanderwyk each lead back to three black Labradors in the 1880s—Buccleuch Avon (m), and his sire and dam, Malmesbury Tramp (m), and Malmesbury June (f). Morningtown Tobla is also named as an important intermediary, and according to the studbook of Buccleuch Kennels, the chocolates in this kennel came through FTW Peter of Faskally (1908).
It’s OK that your dog sleeps in bed with you every night, and it’s OK that you don’t sleep as well without the little guy snuggling at your feet. This pup-sized sleeping bag zips into just about whatever human-sized model you own and lets you bring the closeness into the wilderness. You each get your own space, with plenty of cuddle room in there too.
While individual dogs may vary, in general show-bred Labradors are heavier built, slightly shorter-bodied, and have a thicker coat and tail. Field Labradors are generally longer-legged, lighter, and more lithe in build, making them agile. In the head, show Labradors tend to have broader heads, better defined stops, and more powerful necks, while field Labradors have lighter and slightly narrower heads with longer muzzles. Field-bred Labradors are commonly higher energy and more high-strung compared to the Labrador bred for conformation showing while conformation breeds are calmer in energy, and as a consequence may be more suited to working relationships than being a "family pet". Some breeders, especially those specialising in the field type, feel that breed shows do not adequately recognise their type of dog, leading to occasional debate regarding officially splitting the breed into subtypes.

Recently, when Apple launched its latest version of the iPhone here, there were a lot of oohs and aahs about the pricing. Yes, the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus have their highest pricing in India, but that is no reason for people to suggest that it was pointless to buy an expensive phone like that. Of course, a Micromax phone priced at a fraction of any Apple phone can also get the job done as some have suggested, but it is not about getting the job done, is it?
I have to bring in an analogy from the auto industry. We have quite a few multi-crore Ferrari’s roaring around Indian cities these days, but that does not mean those people should have just bought a Tata Nano or Maruti Alto as these very affordable cars too can get the job done of getting from point A to point B. In fact, the people who buy these top end cars would rather not have a car than be found dead in one of the cheaper models.
It is a bit like the water-diamond paradox, given that a car like the Alto is cheaper to acquire, cheaper to run, cheaper to maintain and cheaper to own if you look at how difficult, or downright stupid, it would be to even park a Ferrari in most parts of India. Still the loud gas guzzling two-seater commands a superb premium.
- Apple iOS 11.4 update causing battery drain problems for users

- Apple iPhone 6s Plus review: Why this is Mr Dependable
- Apple iPhone 6s Plus week-long review: A dependable phone that many of us need
- Apple iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus India launch: Here is everything you need to know
And that is the kind of space Apple finds itself in India at the moment. By some strange quirk of fate the new iPhones are in a pricing bracket where it is alone, really alone. And it is not so in the rest of the world, where the barrier to owning an Apple iPhone is not that high thanks to extended contracts that make it an affordable monthly cost instead of a large one-time payment as in India. In markets like the US, Apple makes more money by selling the ecosystem and not the device itself.
India is different and Apple does not seem to be looking for a volume play here at the moment, at least not with the latest models. However, there is surely a lot of value in being in its new monopolistic spot. For one, I am convinced that smartphones lose their price elasticity after a point — in India, I would put this at around Rs 50,000. Once you hit that point, price really does not matter. Those who can afford to buy it will do at at any cost in that range. If there is intention to spend Rs 50,000, it is not tough to get that person to spend Rs 10,000 more. But if the intention is to buy something that cost Rs 12,000 it is near impossible to get that person to move to a Rs 15,000 price point and that is why the price competitiveness is much more in the mid-range segment.
Apple, meanwhile, has its entry pricing at Rs 62,000 with its new phones, a bit ahead of its biggest competitor Samsung’s costliest phones. If you go into the upper ranges, say the 128GB iPhone 6s Plus, there is no one to even offer competition. Of course, there is the Vertu where you are buying a statement and not really a very practical phone. But it is almost the same mindset that Apple will play to at this price point, trying to appeal to people who just want to say they can own one of these phones. If you are still comparing the iPhone with a budget Android, then you should be clear that you can’t really afford an Apple phone. If you are buying the phone on an installment, let the credit card gods help you.
Of course, you could choose not to be part of Apple’s ecosystem and go for an expensive Android phone like the Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ and there price won’t be the consideration as you can afford both the phones and have made an informed choice.
Meanwhile, there is a good possibility that over the coming months you will see some premium brands come out in this segment. Personally, I think HTC has forgone its chance to be the one premium phone competitor for Apple.
The Taiwanese smartphone maker had all the right ingredients — an eye for premium hardware, exclusive software and a decent ecosystem of apps — but seems to have lost its recipe for now. Samsung might soon start offering more expensive phones and try to secure a larger share of this premium segment. But I won’t be surprised if a lot of new brands start offering smartphones with unique style quotient and features at the top end of the high-end segment. The luxury smartphone segment has finally arrived.

The album debuted at number one in New Zealand and also cracked the albums chart of Switzerland. In November 2016, the performer gave away her hip-hop award at the 2016 New Zealand Music Awards, believing that she had “been placed in this category, because I’m brown”. She opined that “you can’t give a singer an award for Best Hip Hop artist”.

Modelling the effects of climate change and sea level rise on the evolution of incised coastal gullies
Summary of the key findings of a three year study assessing the impacts of climate change (in terms of temperature, rainfall, and coastal wave regimes) and sea level rise on the evolution of a series of incised coastal gullies (‘Chines’) found in the soft cliff environment of the SW Isle of Wight, UK
Report: Hackney, Derby & Leyland, 2013
GIS files of the projected 2100 shorlines for the SW coast are also available for download in shapefile format (you will require appropriate GIS software to use these files).
Modelling the response of soft cliffs to climate change: A statistical, process-response model using accumulated excess energy
“The environmental signicance of soft cliff environments, coupled with the societal impacts of cliff retreat, means that it is important to understand the processes and timings of soft cliff erosion. Here, a new statistical, process-response model of soft cliff erosion is proposed, based on the premise that wave energy delivered to the cliff toe is the key parameter forcing erosion”
Journal Article: Hackney, Derby & Leyland, 2013
Managing Coastal Soft Cliffs for Invertebrates
This summary of the Buglife report “Managing Coastal Soft Cliffs for Invertebrates” describes the importance of coastal soft cliff sites for invertebrate conservation in the UK, identifies current and future threats to soft cliff sites, and provides management guidance for protecting and enhancing the invertebrate faunas of soft cliff sites.
Summary Report: Buglife May 2007
Entomological survey and monitoring at Castle Cove, Isle of Wight.
Following coastal protection works in 1996, which included the clearing of vegetation from the coastal slope to the North of Castle Cove, Isle of Wight, this soft rock slope was allowed to regenerate naturally. The resultant habitat is rough coastal grassland with a bare ground element.
baseline survey was carried out in 2003, and further survey and monitoring was undertaken in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010. The Castle Cove site was again surveyed during 2011 and 2012, and changes in vegetation composition and the amounts of available bare ground were monitored. As in previous surveys, counts were made of certain target insect species in order to assess changes in population densities, and the number of nesting holes for certain species of ground nesting Hymenoptera were counted in order to monitor any changes.
Survey of Breeding Birds along the Military Road 2002 – 2010
A survey of the breeding birds along the A3055 (Military Road) between Compton and Chale had been undertaken by Mr Dave Hunnybun each year since 2002. This work has been generously sponsored by the Island 2000 Trust and the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust to inform management decisions and land advice being given to landowners a part of their prescriptions under agri-environment schemes.
Report: Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust 2010
Survey of Wintering Birds along the Military Road 2010
A survey of the breeding birds along the A3055 (Military Road) between Compton and Chale had been undertaken by Mr Luke Gaskin. This work has been coordinated by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, with funding from the IW AONB Partnership, to inform management decisions and land advice being given to landowners a part of their prescriptions under agri-environment schemes.
Report: Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust 2010
Isle of Wight Soft Cliff Project: Management and Classification of Soft Cliff Vegetation of the Isle of Wight
This project was commissioned with the following aims and objectives:
• To establish a baseline against which future changes to the ecological condition of cliff top buffer zones and cliff face habitats of the IW can be monitored (with particular focus on the South Wight Maritime SAC)
• To provide advice on the management and extent of cliff top buffer zones with particular reference to the effects of cliff top management on invertebrate communities, vegetation communities and ground nesting birds
• To further develop a soft cliff vegetation classification for use in monitoring soft cliff habitats on the IW. The potential to link this with national vegetation classifications of this habitat will be fully explored.
• To produce information that can feed into a strategy for improved access and interpretation of coastal soft cliffs on the IW
Report: Jonathan Cox Associates 2010
The Invertebrates of cliff-top habitats on the Isle of Wight, 2010, with particular reference to Aculeate Hymenoptera
As part of an ongoing project studying the soft cliffs and chines of the Isle of Wight, in 2009 twenty-three cliff top sites were selected, covering a wide range of habitat types and management regimes. For each site a botanical survey was undertaken along a fixed 2m wide transect running from the cliff edge directly inland. Transect length varied from 10m to 46m according to the nature of the individual site. In 2010, fourteen of these transects, selected to reflect the variety of habitats and management practices, were chosen for entomological survey. The primary target group was aculeate Hymenoptera, a group recognised as having many soft cliff dependent species. During survey the author also recorded any Nationally Scarce or Threatened species, BAP species or soft cliff dependent species encountered in other insect groups. Whilst the invertebrate fauna of the chines, soft cliffs and associated ledges has been subject to considerable study, little was known about how invertebrates utilised the cliff top habitats above these features.

Long Term Evolution of Incised Coastal Channels on the Isle of Wight, UK
Conference paper presented to IV International Symposium on Gully Erosion, giving insights into the evolution of Chines from numerical modelling.
Conference paper: Leyland & Darby 2007
Modelling flow, erosion and long term evolution of incising channels
A conceptual model of Chine evolution is being formulated in conjunction with ecological and invertebrate surveys, in an attempt to predict the various morphological and ecological stages of Chine development. In a Habitats Directive review of abstraction consents by the UK Environment Agency, the effects of varying abstraction rates were assessed. Licensed abstractions were predicted to reduce natural erosion by up to 90%. The details of this assessment and the long term evolution model of the Chines are presented within the framework of managing the Chines for the sustainability of ecology.
Conference paper: Norton, Leyland & Darby 2006
An empirical–conceptual gully evolution model for channelled sea cliffs
This paper develops a conceptual model of Chine evolution by applying space for time substitution methods using empirical data gathered from Chine channel surveys and remotely sensed data. The model identifies a sequence of evolutionary stages, which are classified based on a suite of morphometric indices and associated processes. The extent to which individual Chines are in a state of growth or decay is estimated by determining the relative rates of shoreline retreat and knickpoint recession, the former via analysis of historical aerial images and the latter through the use of a stream power erosion model.
Journal article: Leyland & Darby 2008
Effects of Holocene climate and sea-level changes on coastal gully evolution: Insights from numerical modelling
In this paper we explore the Holocene erosional history of these gullies using a numerical landscape evolution model modified to include a cliff recession function. Knickpoint recession rates are simulated using a detachment-limited erosion law wherein erosion rate is a power function of drainage area and stream gradient with model parameters defined using empirically-derived data. Hindcast simulations, from 12 000 cal. years BP to present, are undertaken for a range of scenarios of Holocene climate change and sea-level rise. Plausible erosional histories are extracted from scenarios in which simulated and observed gully forms match. The results suggest that rate of sea-level rise is the key control on gully formation and that it is only in the late Holocene period, and specifically in the last 2000 years, that sea-level rise has slowed sufficiently for knickpoint recession rates to exceed cliff recession rates and create sustainable gully networks. The simulations also indicate that the contemporary gully systems are close to a critical threshold, suggesting that future gully evolution is likely to be sensitive to small changes in rates of effective precipitation and/or sea-level rise.

Coming soon, Yellowstone‘s Josh Lucas is joining Game of Thrones‘ Kit Harington for a new thriller that’s sure to be a success. Outsiders, get ready for Blood For Dust.
Along with Scoot McNairy, the three will follow Rod Blackhurst’s direction to portray two old friends. Cliff and Ricky find each other at a pivotal moment in their life. But this reunion quickly turns into a fatal, cross-state drug deal.
Here’s the show’s description from Variety:
“Former friends Cliff (McNairy), a traveling salesman struggling to make a living, and Ricky (Harington), an illegal-weapons dealer making serious money, reconnect one fateful day. Hoping to make some quick cash, Cliff agrees to partner with the violent Ricky, who is expanding his business to include cross-state drug and gun deliveries for John, a mid-level American cartel boss (Lucas). Reluctantly he agrees to retrofit his beat-up station wagon to carry dozens of kilos of drugs.”
Rick ends up taking the opportunity to eliminate his competition. As a result, it’s Cliff that has to deal with the choices they’ve made.
Written by David Ebeltoft, from a story co-written by Blackhurst and Ebeltoft, the thriller’s team includes producers Noah Lang, Mark Fasano and Bernard Kira. Executive producers include Ford Corbett and David Ebeltoft.
Of course, as we know, Josh Lucas’ most recent claim to fame is his role as young John Dutton in Yellowstone. Harrington’s biggest role was John Snow in Game of Thrones. However, Lucas also starred in Sweet Home Alabama and Ford v. Ferrari. Meanwhile, Harington has starred in Pompeii and Eternals. McNairy has appeared in works like Argo and 12 Years a Slave.
Producing Team Says ‘Yellowstone’s Josh Lucas Is ‘Perfectly’ For Role of Drug Dealer
Not surprisingly, Blackhurst can’t wait until Blood For Dust appears on screens. He shared his admiration of the thriller’s main three stars and their work ethic.
“While ‘Blood For Dust’ is a story born from the realities of our times, it’s also a pulse pounding thriller about family, pain, greed, mobile defibrillator units, the American dream and its contradictions therein,” said Blackhurst. “I’m beyond grateful to be getting into the trenches alongside Scoot McNairy, Kit Harington and Josh Lucas — all of them fathers, like myself, working to take care of our families while anxiously wondering what the future of our times has in store as we tell this parable of America.”
Blackhurst isn’t the only one excited for Blood For Dust. Highland Film Group CEO Arianne Fraser and Highland Film Group COO Delphine Perrier are just as enthusiastic.
“’Blood for Dust’ promises to be a nail-biting action-packed thriller,” Fraser said.
Perrier added, “Scoot McNairy and Kit Harington are perfectly matched to portray the ill-fated partners in this tale of greed and ambition. And we know that Josh Lucas is perfectly cast in the role of their drug and gun dealing boss.”


Asked whom the Prime Minister had consulted on the David Blunkett DNA bioscience breach of Ministerial Code, the Prime Minister’s Official Spokesman (PMOS) that, as they knew he did not go into the processology of whom the Prime Minister talked to on such matters. David Blunkett had set out how the confusion arose. He had set it right. This was where we were. Asked how he had set it right, the PMOS said that he had consulted his permanent secretary on 15 May and he had also discussed with the relevant people what to do. He had set out in his statement how the confusion had arisen following Lord Mayhew’s letter and he had explained why he had acted in the way he had. The matter was being handled by the department, as it should be. Asked what Lord Mayhew said in his letter, the PMOS said that Lord Mayhew had set out in the earlier correspondence that it was a voluntary code and David Blunkett’s interpretation of that was what he had explained. Asked then if the Prime Minister felt no obligation to the code and therefore what kind of code was it if it was one without any teeth, the PMOS the Prime Minister’s words in the introduction of the Ministerial Code spoke for themselves. The Prime Minister obviously believed that people should abide by the code. People should obviously abide by the code. This event had arisen in a period not only when David Blunkett was not a Minister but also in the period after the prorogation of Parliament as he had explained.
Asked if the Prime Minister thought it appropriate for David Blunkett to hold shares in a company that might bid for a Government contract, the PMOS said that this was a matter where advice was being sought and it was best that this process was allowed to go forward. In response to the suggestion that David Blunkett knew he would be getting a ministerial job after the election, the PMOS said that that was an assumption. People should stick to the facts which were that David Blunkett was not a minister at the time. David Blunkett had accepted that his interpretation of the code was wrong.
Asked what advice he sought on the shares, the PMOS said that there was a process going on and he would not be getting in the middle of it. Asked if the Cabinet Secretary was involved, the PMOS said that the Cabinet Secretary had a role in these sorts of matters. Asked what the impact of prorogation was, the PMOS said that David Blunkett had set out his explanation of how the confusion arose. In terms of understanding the backdrop it did help to recognise that Parliament was prorogued at the time.
Asked what the Prime Minister’s formal response was to the request for an inquiry from the opposition on the specifics of David Blunkett and the clarification on the Ministerial Code, the PMOS said that in terms of clarification that was a matter for the Cabinet Secretary and David Blunkett had requested clarification. In terms of the actual facts David Blunkett had set those out and explained how the confusion arose. The facts spoke for themselves and were not disputed. Therefore that was the end of the matter. The facts were there as David Blunkett had explained them.
Put to him that if the facts were not disputed why was there an ongoing conversation, the PMOS said that what was not in dispute was the actual events. People were seeking clarification of the interpretation of the Ministerial Code and its implications. Asked if that clarification would apply to this case or future cases, the PMOS said that David Blunkett had explained how the confusion arose in his mind. It was important that that confusion did not happen again and therefore that was why he had sought clarification.
Asked if the Prime Minister was concerned that this was getting in the way of doing his job, the PMOS said no. The green paper remained David Blunkett’s priority objective and his work on that continued. The aims of that green paper remained exactly the same.
Asked again what was the confusion and why David Blunkett was seeking advice if the Ministerial Code was clear, the PMOS said that inevitably with any code there was an element of some interpretation and therefore the clarification was on interpretation. Asked why he was seeking advice from the Cabinet Secretary when he had already sought advice from his permanent secretary, the PMOS said that inevitably whenever questions were asked people sought clarification to make sure any interpretation was right and this was where we were.
Put to him that unless he explained to journalists where there was room for misinterpretation the rules appeared to be completely clear and unequivocal, the PMOS said that in terms of the code it was a matter of interpretation to make sure there was no conflict of interest. As such it was perfectly reasonable to seek clarification on that. It was best that these processes were allowed to happen and then we could inform the media of the outcome. Asked to explain what exactly was being looked into, the PMOS said that the question put to him was did we believe that there was any conflict of interest in having these shares and whether he should give them up. His answer had been that advice was being sought on that. In response to the follow up suggestion that in that case it was impossible to say that the Prime Minster had full confidence in David Blunkett, the PMOS said that where there were matters of interpretation it was quite reasonable for advice to be sought. The position in terms of the Prime Minister’s confidence in David Blunkett had not changed at all.
Asked for clarify if there were two points up for clarification, first the conflict of interest and second on the code of conduct, the PMOS said that David Blunkett had said he was seeking advice from the Cabinet Secretary on interpretation of the rules. In terms of the shares and the advice that we sought he was not going to be drawn into the processology. The advice that the Prime Minister got came from the Cabinet Secretary. Asked if that meant it was the Prime Minister seeking advice, the PMOS said that in terms of the overall position the Prime Minister wanted things to be clear. It was the Opposition that had asked the question about his right to hold the shares and we would seek clarification on that. Asked if it was the Prime Minister’s job to enforce the Ministerial Code, the PMOS that he was not disputing that. The role of the Prime Minister was one that we were all familiar with, as we had gone through this before.
Asked if the Prime Minister felt that the media was hounding David Blunkett, the PMOS said that tempted as he was to say otherwise, the best reply was probably that questions had been asked and they would be answered and we would address those questions as upfront as we could. Therefore we would not get into blaming anybody, but would address those questions in a factual way.
Asked if the Prime Minister and David Blunkett were in dispute over Incapacity Benefit, the PMOS said that the Prime Minister had set out, and David Blunkett had underlined that his objectives were the same, that what we needed was a reform of Incapacity Benefit that allowed people to get back to work. This was what the green paper would try to achieve.

Kansas City is the first home to Google’s new platform: Google Arts & Culture.
The platform’s goal is to digitize and organize collections of art and history, making the world’s cultural information available visually to anyone, anywhere. It’s mainly focused on specific museums or art partners around the globe, but as they expand through the United States, Google has decided to feature Kansas City as the first full-city project.
The website, titled “Kansas City: Smoke Rings and the Finer Things,” is the central hub for the collection. From here, you can access a variety of media including articles about the history of Kansas City, videos spotlighting various personalities around the city, and showcases about local food or art.
The decision was largely based on the location and history. Google already had multiple organizations partnered with the program and decided the centralized location of Kansas City in the U.S. was perfect for a starting point.
The project was in development for about a year, gathering additional partners and organizing their art and content onto an interactive page dedicated to the city for anyone to view and explore.
Simon Delacroix is the U.S. lead for Google Arts & Culture and first visited Kansas City while working on this project.
“We’ve been welcomed by everyone in this city,” Delacroix said. “It’s always impressive to see the work from all these connected institutions who complement each other so well.”
After the experience that he had working in Kansas City, he hopes that everyone can love what they have in the city and can celebrate it more.
“We want to make sure people in Kansas City can be proud of their city because it has so much to offer,” Delacroix said. “I’ve loved the diversity of experiences in my time here. I could never fully dive into one thing before I was moving onto another. It was a wonderful journey.”
With that said, he also wants to reach out to people across the world and show what this smaller city in “flyover country” has to offer.
“We hope to really put Kansas City in people’s minds,” Delacroix said. “We want to utilize our international platform and audience to let the world know more about this amazing city.”
The partners who worked with Google also commented on how fun it has been to work with them and the other partners in sharing their art and history.
“They had a lot of enthusiasm about Kansas City and the surrounding region,” said Raymond Doswell, vice president of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. “The diversity of partners is amazing and this just puts us on the map even more.”
A big part of the project is bringing art into the modern era of technology and allowing people to see art they never would have been able to see before.
“The whole project was taking the technology and mission of Google and applying it directly to arts and culture,” said Breeze Richardson, director of marketing and communications at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. “It’s really important to have the art and artists of our time be included in the discovery, interpretation, and exploration of today’s art through a platform like this.”
Giving more accessibility to people outside of these art-rich cities and areas is also another thing the platform offers. This is also expected to help bring in more visitors and tourists to places such as museums showing the art featured on the website.
“There’s a real desire to make this art as available to everyone as possible. There are still real geographic boundaries into how accessible coming to a brick and mortar museum might be for many communities across the region,” Richardson said. “I hope that upon exploring the works on the platform, this will inspire people to make a visit to the city and see these works with their own eyes.”
Despite the full release last month, the project is still in its early phases. There are no current plans to expand to other cities, but they’re looking to growing in partners, content and technology, locally. One big piece that is being planned for the near future is using street view technology to allow people to take digital tours of some of these museums and art galleries through virtual reality. This is an expansion of their current augmented reality art viewing through the Google Arts and Culture app.
Google Arts and Culture: Kansas City can be accessed through their website or through their mobile app.

Bradley Roby Signs New Deal With Houston Texans
Roby’s 2019 season was shortened by injury as he only played ten games, but he still put up some decent stats. Roby finished with 38 tackles, with only three of them being assisted. He had two interceptions, including a pick-six. He also had one sack and one forced fumble, and eight pass deflections.
Roby played football in high school at Peachtree Ridge High in Suwanee, Georgia. He then played in college at Ohio State, where he made First-Team All-Big Ten in both 2012 and 2013. In the 2014 draft, he was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 31st pick, where he remained through 2018.
Roby did not miss a game from 2014 to 2017. However, he only started 14 games during that time and was primarily a role player. Still, he put up some good statistics during that time. In his rookie season, he recorded 65 tackles, which remains a career high. He was a part of the 2015 Broncos team that won the Super Bowl. In the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots, he intercepted a pass tipped by Aqib Talib on what would’ve been the game-tying two-point conversion, thus sealing the victory. In the Super Bowl itself, he had two tackles and three pass deflections.
Roby finally became a full-time starter in 2018 and started all 15 of the games he played, but didn’t see his numbers go up much despite that. He had 50 tackles, which was the second highest of his career, but only one interception. He did get two forced fumbles. Roby then joined the Texans for the 2019 season.
Roby thus far in his career has 274 tackles (246 solo), four sacks, eight forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, nine interceptions (with three pick-sixes) and 68 pass deflections.

Highlights in the fourth quarter 2015:
Rodd Starr, Chief Executive Officer said:
"The fourth quarter was one in which we saw the culmination of significant efforts across the organisation to successfully execute our 2015 Agenda. We increased market share, announcing nine awards since the end of the last quarter, maintaining an industry-leading backlog. We delivered significant cost reductions, with a 26% decrease in gross cost of sales compared to the same quarter the previous year, with further future cost savings expected following the organisational changes announced post quarter end. Finally, we restructured the balance sheet, which was formally completed in the first quarter 2016, giving us a potential debt reduction of US$280 million. In addition, we reduce debt service payments by US$140 million over the next two years alone.
Despite a reduction in revenues, we generated cash from operations of US$28.6 million in the quarter, significantly higher than in the same quarter the previous year. Our investment in Multi-Client remained disciplined, and we recorded a high prefunding level of 104% in the quarter.
The company begins 2016 in a stronger position than ever before; with a higher market share, a lower cost base and a lower debt burden. Although the market outlook remains challenging during the year ahead, we remain confident that we are well positioned for this prolonged downturn."

UNM North Golf Course
University of New Mexico runners have the luxury of competing in one of the top cross country environments in the nation. Located 5,085 feet above sea level in the heart of Lobo country, the UNM North Golf Course has been the home of Lobo cross country since the 2000 season.
Over past 15 years, Albuquerque has been re-established as one of the premier cross country running locations in America. Blessed with excellent weather throughout much of the fall, the Duke City has been the site of two Mountain West Conference Cross Country Championships, four NCAA Mountain Region Championships, and one the biggest cross country meet in the nation each year, the annual Lobo Invitational.
Each year, thousands of vocal and knowledgeable distance-running enthusiasts pack the North Golf Course to see their Lobos compete against some of the finest teams in the region and the country. The spectator-friendly course winds its way over gentle grassy slopes, around majestic trees and through the cheering crowd several times, giving athletes a tremendous boost. And with its ideal location, less than a mile from the main campus, many UNM runners can simply jog home after competition.
Starting in 2007, the UNM North Course provided another benefit to Lobo cross country runners. Head coach Joe Franklin secured the course for weekly team training sessions, giving New Mexico athletes exclusive access to the pristine training location.
With one of the premiere running facilities for cross country, combined with Albuquerque’s altitude and weather, it’s not surprising to know that UNM cross country, both the men and women’s program, are ranked among the top 10 nearly every season under Joe Franklin.
Built in 1942, the nine-hole UNM North Golf Course is a picturesque urban oasis that has been called “Albuquerque’s Central Park.”

KAMLOOPS - For all the Tragically Hip fans in Kamloops who are missing out on their final tour across Canada, there is a back up plan.
Local musicians are practicing their Gord Downie impressions and Blow on High Dough guitar solos for a benefit concert on Sept. 22. All proceeds will go towards the Kamloops Cancer Clinic and Downie’s preferred charity the Sunnybrook Foundation.
The show is being put on by Arron Butowkski and Kara-Sheen Inferno. Butowski says in a Facebook post that difficulty getting tickets for the Tragically Hip concerts inspired the show.
“If I can’t see The Hip, my second favourite thing to do is to play The Hip’s music,” he says in the post. “Every band has a Hip song in their back pocket so I thought why not get the amazing talent in this city together and have our own concert.”
That way the money is diverted from scalpers to charities, he writes.
The show will feature at least eight local bands or solo artists and a Tragically Hip cover band, the Hip Replacements.
It's scheduled for Sept. 22 at the Blue Grotto. Tickets are $35 and available now.

I have a new piece that I wanted to post and I thought I would post some photos of the original idea to the final piece.
Believe it or not this pencil sketch is about 10 years old!! I have so many ideas sketched or in my head or photos from years ago....they stick with me. I decided to create a painting out of it!
Here is a 6X6 inch acrylic sketch of the composition. I like working small...still haven't made the leap into painting large...I enjoy the sense of completion I have painting small and I learn to say more with less!!
I used a brush for this.
Below is the final piece....how did I do??


This Wednesday, Fortaleza announced an agreement with Cruz Azul, from Mexico, for the transfer of striker Moisés, 26 years old. According to the Brazilian club, the sale was 90% of the athlete’s economic rights, for a total of R$ 24.5 million.
Thus, Leão do Pici keeps the remaining 10%. The player’s bond with the northeastern team was valid until the end of 2025 – renewal took place in early May of this year.

RJD supporters take out anti-Nitish Kumar protest, throw stones at district magistrate for removing protestors
RJD supporters Thursday threw stones on the Saran district magistrate and superintendent of police during protests against Nitish Kumar breaking the Grand Alliance to form a new government with NDA support
Chapra/Hajipur/Begusarai: RJD supporters Thursday threw stones on the Saran district magistrate and superintendent of police during protests against Nitish Kumar breaking the grand alliance to form a new government with NDA support.
The protestors threw stones at the district magistrate Harihar Prasad and police superintendent Aunsuiya Ransingh Sahu when they came to remove protestors shouting slogans in favour of RJD on Jay Prakash Narayan overbridge in the district.
Deputy Inspector General of police Ajit Kumar Rai confirmed the incident and said an FIR has been registered in this connection.
The police chased away the protestors and restored traffic on the overbridge, which connects Sonepur with Patna district, sub-divisional officer Sudhir Kumar said. Reports of road blockade and protest march by RJD supporters also poured in from Hajipur and Begusarai among others during the day.
The RJD supporters held protests against Kumar and also against the denial of a chance to RJD, the single largest party in the house to form the government.
The Paper-I was held from 12 to 16 March, 2019, and the result was announced on 25 May, 2019, while Paper-II exam was conducted on 27 September, 2019

This is the Police 2 Unveils New Turn-Based Combat System in its Latest Trailer
This is the Police 2 got its first gameplay trailer today, and it reveals that the game will include brand new turn-based combat.
Earlier this year, Weappy Studio and THQ Nordic announced This is the Police 2, a sequel to their 2016 adventure/management game. Today, This is the Police 2 received its first gameplay trailer, and it reveals that new tactical turn-based strategy gameplay is being added to the already solid foundation the first game established.
While the core management gameplay is mostly the same in This is the Police 2, when players take on more dangerous mission, the game switches over to a turn-based style. First, Players will have to create a squad of police officers to take with them, whether they are shining examples for the police force or corrupt bums. Then, once players are on the mission they’ll have to tactically control them in a turn-based system that evokes memories of XCOM.
That being said, This is the Police 2 does try to spice its typical turn-based strategy gameplay up by having a focus on non-lethal gameplay, as cops are not supposed to kill suspects. These battles are poised to be quite tough too, as some cops can die in a single hit from a well-placed bullet.
You can check out the new gameplay trailer below. This is the Police 2 will be hitting PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later this year. The game’s publisher, THQ Nordic, will actually be skipping E3 this year; you can read more about that here If you want to pre-order the game, you can currently do so on Amazon.

Facebook and Google announced today their plans to build a new subsea cable to improve internet connectivity across the Asia-Pacific region.
Apricot, the 12,000-kilometre-long subsea cable, will connect Singapore, Japan, Guam, the Philippines, Taiwan and Indonesia. It is expected to be ready for service in 2024, according to Facebook.
The US social media group continued the cable system will have an initial design capacity of more than 190 terabits per second, which will help meet the growing demand for 4G, 5G, and broadband access in the region.
In March, Facebook announced two transpacific cables connecting Singapore, Indonesia and the US west coast, Bifrost and Echo, with Google participating in the latter.
Google said in a blog post that the Echo and Apricot cables are complementary submarine systems that will ensure the resilience of Google Cloud and other digital services.
“Together they will provide businesses and startups in Asia with lower latency, more bandwidth, and increased resilience in their connectivity between Southeast Asia, North Asia and the US,” Google added.

When liberal whites fail to understand how the can and/or do embody white-supremacist values and beliefs even though they may not embrace racism as prejudice or domination (especially domination that involves coercive control), they cannot recognize the ways their actions support and affirm the very structure of racist domination and oppression that they profess to wish to see eradicated.
~ bell hooks, overcoming white supremacy: a comment (via unimpressed2chainz)
when people say “i dont believe in science”
what are you even talking about
In contemporary usage… the words ‘crone,’ ‘witch,’ ‘bitch,’ and ‘virgin’ describe women as threatening, evil, or heterosexually inexperienced and thus incomplete. In prepatriarchal times, however, these words evoked far different images. The crone was the old woman whose life experience gave her insight, wisdom, respect, and the power to enrich people’s lives. The witch was the wise-woman healer, the knower of herbs, the midwife, the link joining body, spirit, and Earth. The bitch was Artemis-Diana, goddess of the hunt, most often associated with the dogs who accompanied her. And the virgin was merely a woman who was unattached, unclaimed, and unowned by any man and therefore independent and autonomous. Notice how each word has been transformed from a positive cultural image of female power, independence, and dignity to an insult or a shadow of its former self so that few words remain to identify women in ways both positive and powerful.

Compatible Weights and Valid Cycles in Non-spanning OSPF Routing Patterns
Keywords:Telecommunication, Internet Protocol, OSPF, routing, compatible weights, valid cycle
AbstractMany IP (Internet Protocol) networks use OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) for determining the routing of traffic. OSPF routers compute routing paths using link weights set by the network administrator, and the routers send traffic on all shortest paths to the destination. An interesting question is whether or not a set of prespecified routing patterns can be realized in an OSPF network. If not, we seek structural properties that explain why no such weights exist. Mathematical models for finding weights and for combining routing patterns are presented. We show that two possibly non-spanning routing patterns forming a ``valid cycle'' cannot simultaneously be obtained in an OSPF network. Two new methods for finding valid cycles are presented, illustrated by numerical examples, and shown to be faster that those previously known.

Farmer hat-trick - with help from Passmore as Withy Under-9s produce their best yet
PUBLISHED: 14:15 08 November 2012
Withycombe Under-9s took on Honiton in two entertaining matches that saw them emerge unbeaten with a draw and a win.
First up produced a game of excellent defending in which tackling was at a premium and fittingly a close encounter ended al square at 15-15.
Harry Bennett, Charlie Passmore and Alfie Gillard were the Withy try scorers.
The second game saw the young Withies really turn on the style with some wonderful attacking rugby that took them to a 40-20 triumph.
Sam Skinner opened his account for the season and there were single scores for Joseph Bowden, Harry Bennett, Ollie Hempstead and Callum Tose.
However, the main feature of the second game was a fantastic hat-trick from Joe Farmer who was unselfishly set up by Charlie Passmore which resulted in them both receiving the title of Withy Man of the Match.
Withy Junior chairman Ian Skinner said: “It was one of those occasions when every player really did put a splendid shift in for the team. One of the coaches was even heard to remark that it was the best he’d seen this set of youngsters play in the three years they have been playing together and that augers very well for their individual and collective futures.”

A numerical approach for predicting motion and tension of extensible marine cables during laying operations in a rough sea is presented here. The solution methodology consists of dividing the cable into straight elements, which must satisfy an equilibrium equation and compatibility relations. The system of nonlinear differential equations is solved by the Runge–Kutta method, taking the effect of regular and/or irregular waves into account explicitly.

Juventus are apparently willing to let Douglas Costa go and Liverpool should use that stance to finally make their move for the Brazilian.
According to a report from the Sun this weekend, Juventus are keen on signing Gabriel Jesus from Man City. In order to try and push a deal through, they are apparently ready to use Douglas Costa as a makeweight in any deal.
Costa has been a fine player for Juve in recent times. However, his form has dipped over the last 12 months, with both goals and assists drying up somewhat. Indeed, he’s yet to score in Serie A this term, although he has set three up for his teammates.
This, though, is in stark contrast to the player we saw in the 2017/18 season. During that time, Costa assisted 12 times in Serie A and scored four himself. (Transfermarkt)
And it’s that player who Liverpool will be interested in should they choose to revisit their past interest. (Bild, via Bleacher Report)
Douglas Costa is a fine option to consider if Mane or Salah leave
As with most of the top players in world football, with good performances comes interest from other clubs.
This is the case with Liverpool at the moment, who could struggle to keep hold of Sadio Mane. Indeed, Real Madrid are reportedly very keen on bringing the forward to La Liga. (Mirror)
If Liverpool were to lose Mane, they could do far worse than sign Costa. This is a player who has experience at the very highest levels. You don’t play for the likes of Bayern and Juventus without being a world-class talent.
Furthermore, the Reds need a squad. Even if Mane is to stay, adding someone like Costa would be a wise move.
The likes of Adam Lallana and Xherdan Shaqiri will, more than likely, move on this summer. That opens up space within the squad in attacking areas at Anfield.
Douglas Costa could fill the void with ease. At 29, he’s got a few years left at his best you would assume. It could, then, be the prime time for Liverpool to finally land a player they’ve courted for years.
