What happens when you lose a tooth? In the short-run, it can certainly undermine your appearance and ability to efficiently chew and digest food. But a chain of events could also be set in motion that may cause the most harm to your appearance and health—and it all has to do with bone loss.
Our bones aren't just rigid structures providing a frame for our bodies. They're living tissue with other purposes like producing blood cells and regulating the endocrine system. Bone tissue is constantly replenishing itself as older cells die and newer ones take their place.
In the jawbone, the pressure generated by the teeth while biting and chewing travels through the roots to stimulate the growth of new bone. If a tooth goes missing, however, the bone around the tooth also loses this growth stimulus.
This can cause normal bone growth to slow so that dying bone cells aren't sufficiently replaced. The bone may then diminish at an alarming rate—a decrease in width of about 25% in the first year after a tooth loss and several millimeters in height after only a few years.
This bone loss can continue to advance, especially if multiple teeth are lost, until the jaw structure as a whole loses significant height. The bite may then collapse, forcing the front teeth to push forward. In this state, a person may not be able to adequately bite or chew food. It can also damage their appearance—their smile suffers, of course, but their entire face may also appear shrunken.
You may be able to avoid this scenario if you replace missing teeth with dental implants. In addition to their life-likeness and durability, implants can also stop or slow bone loss. This is because titanium, the principle metal used in an implant, has a strong affinity with bone: Bone cells readily grow and attach to the titanium surface and foster new growth.
But don't wait: Bone loss could eventually extend beyond what an implant can accommodate—you may then need grafting to build up the bone or consider a different type of restoration. So, speak with your dentist as soon as possible about an implant restoration for a lost tooth to help avoid significant bone loss.

The subject of allergies covers a wide swath in medicine. Among other things, people have allergic reactions to animal fur, various foods and plant pollen. The effects are equally wide-ranging, anything from a mild rash to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening shutdown of the body's vital systems.
Approximately 5% of people are also allergic to various metals including nickel, cobalt, chromium and gold. Reactions to metal can occur when an allergic person comes in contact with items like jewelry, clothing or even mobile phones. There's even a chance of a metal allergy reaction from certain kinds of dental work.
It's unlikely, though, that you should be concerned if you're considering dental treatment or cosmetic work to upgrade your smile. Although allergic reactions like inflammation or a rash have been known to occur with amalgam “silver” fillings, it's quite rare. It's even less of a concern since “tooth-colored” materials for fillings are now outpacing the use of amalgam fillings, which are used in out-of-sight back teeth.
Of course, metal is used for other dental treatments besides fillings, including the most popular of tooth replacement systems, dental implants. An implant is essentially a metal post, usually made of pure titanium or a titanium alloy, which is imbedded into the jawbone. Even so, there's little chance you'll develop an allergic reaction to them.
For one thing, titanium is highly prized in both medical and dental treatments because of its biocompatibility. This means titanium devices like prosthetic joints and implants won't normally disrupt or cause reactions with human tissue. Titanium is also osteophilic: Bone cells readily grow and adhere to titanium surfaces, a major reason for dental implants' long-term durability.
That's not to say titanium allergies don't exist, but their occurrence is very low. One recent study detected a titanium allergy in only 0.6% of 1,500 implant patients who participated.
At worst, you may need to consider a different type of tooth replacement restoration in the rare chance you have a titanium allergy. More than likely, though, you'll be able obtain implants and enjoy the transformation they can bring to your smile.

Each year millions of people endure repeated episodes of congestion, coughing and headaches, all the miseries that come with a sinus infection. Although it seems like all the action is occurring around the nose and upper face, the actual cause could be emanating from somewhere else—your teeth.
It can all begin with decay forming a small cavity in one of the upper back teeth. If it isn't caught and treated early, the decay can spread into the tooth pulp and root canals, tiny passageways to the root and bone. This may or may not cause a severe toothache or sensitivity as the tooth's nerves respond to the infection. These nerves, though, most often eventually die and the pain, if present, will subside—but not the infection.
Left untreated, the infection may then advance into the bone around the root tip, breaking it down and giving bacteria an entryway into the floor of the maxillary sinus that rests just above the upper jaw. Here bacteria can take up residence, occasionally flaring into a sinus infection. This chronic infection could go on for years with allergies mistakenly taking the blame.
If you have frequent bouts of sinusitis, a possible dental connection may be worth investigating. And in the dental profession, there may be no better “detective” for this than an endodontist. Specializing in interior tooth problems and treatments, an endodontist has the diagnostic equipment like CT or 3-D cone beam scanning to accurately image the teeth and upper jaw. With their advanced diagnostics, they're in the best position to uncover hidden tooth decay contributing to sinus problems.
Endodontists are also skilled in treating advanced tooth decay. The main procedure is known as root canal treatment, in which the dentist drills into the tooth's interior to remove infected tissue from the pulp and root canals. They then fill these empty spaces, seal and then crown the tooth for added protection.
After treatment and following up with your physician, you may find your sinus infections are less frequent. And by promptly seeking treatment at the first sign of tooth pain or sensitivity, you might prevent chronic sinusitis from even developing.

Celebrities’ controversial actions and opinions frequently spark fiery debates on social media. But actress Dakota Johnson lit a match to online platforms in a seemingly innocent way—through orthodontics.
This summer she appeared at the premier of her film The Peanut Butter Falcon missing the trademark gap between her front teeth. Interestingly, it happened a little differently than you might think: Her orthodontist removed a permanent retainer attached to the back of her teeth, and the gap closed on its own.
Tooth gaps are otherwise routinely closed with braces or other forms of orthodontics. But, as the back and forth that ensued over Johnson’s new look shows, a number of people don’t think that’s a good idea: It’s not just a gap—it’s your gap, a part of your own uniqueness.
Someone who might be sympathetic to that viewpoint is Michael Strahan, a host on Good Morning America. Right after the former football star began his NFL career, he strongly considered closing the noticeable gap between his two front teeth. In the end, though, he opted to keep it, deciding it was a defining part of his appearance.
But consider another point of view: If it truly is your gap (or whatever other quirky smile “defect” you may have), you can do whatever you want with it—it really is your choice. And, on that score, you have options.
You can have a significant gap closed with orthodontics or, if it’s only a slight gap or other defect, you can improve your appearance with the help of porcelain veneers or crowns. You can also preserve a perceived flaw even while undergoing cosmetic enhancements or restorations. Implant-supported replacement teeth, for example, can be fashioned to retain unique features of your former smile like a tooth gap.
If you’re considering a “smile makeover,” we’ll blend your expectations and desires into the design plans for your future smile. In the case of something unique like a tooth gap, we’ll work closely with dental technicians to create restorations that either include or exclude the gap or other characteristics as you wish.
Regardless of the debate raging on social media, the final arbiter of what a smile should look like is the person wearing it. Our goal is to make sure your new smile reflects the real you.
If you would like more information about cosmetically enhancing your smile, please contact us or schedule a consultation. To learn more, read the Dear Doctor magazine articles “Space Between Front Teeth” and “The Impact of a Smile Makeover.”
Nothing beats the form and function of a real tooth—but dental implants come pretty close. That's why they're tops among both dentists and patients for replacing missing teeth.
Much of an implant's functionality and durability can be credited to its material construction, from the titanium metal post imbedded in the jawbone to the lifelike porcelain crown attached at its other end. But an implant's “nuts and bolts” isn't the only reason why this premier dental restoration is so popular: A good portion of their success comes from the adjunct support provided by digital technology.
Without this varied array of computer-based applications used in planning, designing and installing them, implants couldn't produce the level of satisfactory outcomes they currently do. Here then are a few of the high-tech tools dentists use to make sure your implants result in a winning smile.
CBCT scanning. Implant placement requires a high degree of precision often complicated by various anatomical structures like nerves, blood vessels and sinuses within the gums and jaws. Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT) scanners rotate around a patient's head, taking hundreds of digital x-ray images that are then assembled into a 3-D model image. Dentists can view this model from various angles to identify obstacles and better pinpoint the best implant locations.
Digital impressions. Dentists can also create a 3-D digital impression model of the inside of a patient's mouth that can give them views of their current teeth and gums from any angle. This aids in determining the size and type of implant so that it blends seamlessly with remaining teeth. A digital impression can also provide both the dentist and patient a preview appearance of their future smile after treatment.
3-D printed surgical guides. To accurately drill the implant site during surgery, dentists often create a custom-made device called a surgical guide that fits into the patient's mouth during the procedure. Using results from scanning and digital impressions, highly accurate guides can be created with a 3-D printer. This further ensures that the implant will be in the exact best location for the most attractive and functional outcome.
Implantology is as much art as it is science in achieving a beautiful smile. These and other digital tools help make that desirable end a reality.

Mechanism discovered that enables TB persistence in humans
One gene involved in the production of iron-sulphur clusters may be crucial for the persistence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) collaborating with the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) and InStem, have discovered a mechanism that allows the tuberculosis (TB) bacterium to persist in the human host for decades. One gene involved in the production of iron-sulphur clusters could be essential for the persistence of the TB bacterium.
TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), which can be present in the human body for decades without any symptoms. First author of the study Mayashree Das, PhD student at the Department of Microbiology and Cell Biology (MCB), IISc, explained: “Mtb needs humans to survive. In many cases of Mtb infection, the immune system can detect the bug and clear it out.”
However, in some asymptomatic individuals, Mtb hides within deep oxygen-limiting pockets of the lung and enters a state of dormancy in which it does not divide and is metabolically inactive. This enables it to hide from the immune system and TB drugs.
Dr Amit Singh, Associate Professor at MCB and corresponding author of the study, said: “Due to persistence, there is a bacterial reservoir in a subset of the human population at any point which can reactivate and cause infection. Unless we understand persistence, we will not be able to eradicate TB.”
Dr Singh’s team grew Mtb in liquid cultures containing special supplements required for its growth in a Bio Safety Level-3 facility at the Center for Infectious Disease Research (CIDR), IISc. Several proteins in Mtb depend on iron-sulphur clusters, that consist of iron and sulphur atoms organised in various configurations like chains or cuboids, for functioning. In cellular reactions like respiration and carbon metabolism, the iron atoms in the cluster can pass on electrons from one site of a protein complex to another.
Singh elucidated: “The iron-sulphur cluster-containing proteins are important for essential processes such as energy production by respiration, enabling the bacteria to survive harsh conditions of the lungs and causing infection. So, we wanted to study the mechanisms that Mtb uses to build these iron-sulphur clusters.”
The SUF operon, a set of genes that get switched on together, in Mtb mainly produce the iron-sulphur clusters, although there is another single gene called IscS that also produces the clusters. To understand why the bacterium requires both, the scientists generated a mutant version of Mtb that lacked the IscS gene and discovered that under normal and oxygen-limiting conditions, iron-sulphur clusters are produced mainly by the action of the IscS gene.
However, the iron atoms of the clusters become oxidised and released when the bacterium faces a lot of oxidative stress, which damages the clusters. Therefore, there is an increased demand for generating more clusters, which switches on the SUF operon.
Then, to understand how the IscS gene contributes to disease progression, the researchers infected mice models with the mutant version of Mtb lacking the IscS gene. The absence of this gene resulted in severe disease in the infected mice rather than a persistent, chronic infection typically seen in TB patients.
In the absence of the IscS gene, the SUF operon is highly activated, although in an unregulated fashion, leading to hypervirulence. Depleting both IscS and the SUF system greatly reduced the persistence of Mtb in mice. Therefore, the team found that the IscS gene keeps the activation of the SUF operon in check, causing persistence in TB.
The researchers also found that bacteria lacking the IscS gene were more likely to be killed by certain antibiotics. “It becomes sensitive to some antibiotics and resistant to some. We would also like to explore this further,” stated Das. The team believes that combining antibiotics with drugs targeting IscS and SUF could be more effective.
This study was published in Science Advances.

In recent years, it has been relatively common to attribute certain prejudices to video games in the education of children. Alienation, trivialization of violence and even epileptic seizures.
Is the legend that Pokémon caused suicide true?
However, these epileptic seizures have only occurred occasionally and no deaths have been documented. Entertainment companies have sought to minimize the social alarm of these cases, as it is true, they say, that television, midnight lights and other lighting circumstances can trigger these attacks.
While general concern about video games was intense in the ’90s, there is one case that made a lot of noise. In 1995, Game Freak released its first Pokémon Video Game, The famous Red and Green versions.
reality trumps fiction
Initially, they had an acceptable range of sales, exceeding one million cartridges sold in a year, but nowhere near the scale which, in the following years, reached the phenomenon. The game hit the market in February, and by the same summer they had already been counted 107 cases of suicide among 6 to 12 year olds.
Investigations into each of the deaths led to a common circumstance that pointed to the Pokémon video game as responsible. In each of the recorded cases, the parents of the deceased children pointed out that their children were playing Pokémon day and night.
After analyzing the cartridges, the police realized that the last town where the children played was the village of lavender, the lands were animated by a very characteristic sound. The song Lavender Village contained moments of high intensity in tones that could only be heard by children. Overwhelming screams and sounds that caused headaches resulting in severe migraines, Monitoring of insomnia and irritability. Despite the crude symptoms, his video game addiction did not stop. The inability to fall asleep involved images of nasal bleeding, nausea and vomiting, and finally depressive images.
The culprit, a double tone that caused headaches and anxiety
Alerted by these cases, Game Freak corrected the tune, preventing later versions released in Europe and the United States from containing the dangerous song. Game Freak sources claimed that the last song is almost identical to the original.
They just released a few squeaks that they caused two-tone melodies to the original music, Sounds that could only be perceived by children due to their high spectrum.

"I grew up between Paris and the South of France, in a family where 2 universes collapsed into one very isolated unit. It was an environment where the decadent aristocratic and intellectual background of my father was interwoven with the world of my eccentric mother who came from a very modest and traditional background. In this context , I developed a method of reflecting reality through fiction and fantasy by narrating stories to myself as a way to exit this self contained bubble. It is then that I started interrogating what it means to be “in relation to”. My practice quasi resembles an autofiction process through voyeurism. I move through painting, writing, making videos and textiles as proposals for a continuous commitment to chart the facts of feeling, whatever they are, and at whatever the cost. Through my own vulnerabilities and interrelationships, I am aiming at interrogating the strangeness of intimacy, sexuality and possibly reach a flattening of hierarchies between genders. My works deal with new possible meanings that can be revealed through the juxtaposition of distinctive and blurred elements. Almost everything I make remains open-ended, ambiguous and purposely non linear in its reading. Bits of carpets may look like cat food, headless bodies may look like ceramic pots, tentacles may look like hooks, and romantic poetry might meet up with a news feed about the rare shell orientation of a snail that prevented him from mating. Drawing on the rhythms of everyday pop-up associations, slippages of language and texts and more specific performative actions including myself and others as fragmented events that merge life and art, I intend to create a codified structure to question individual and collective desires in contrast with their failed projections."

New Delhi: State Bank of India (SBI) has asked oil refiners to provide data on purchasing prices to ensure India is not violating Western sanctions, supported by the G7, that put a price cap of $60 per barrel on Russian oil.
That means anyone who wants to buy Russian oil has to pay that price or less.
“SBI has asked for a break-up that confirms that Indian refiners are buying oil below the $60 per barrel price cap. They are doing it given the stringent sanctions under the OFAC [Office of Foreign Assets Control] of the US treasury department. The OFAC directive is agnostic about the currency in which the payments are made, including United Arab Emirates dirhams. As of now, there is no problem,” said a government official, one of the persons familiar with the matter requesting anonymity, told Mint.
“To mitigate the risk, India’s largest lender has requested data on purchasing prices from refiners such as Indian Oil Corp., Bharat Petroleum Corp. Ltd, and Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd,” two people in the know of the matter, including the person cited above, told the business daily.
The price cap came into effect on December 5, 2022.
The development comes amid surging India-Russia oil trade, which reached a record 1.6 million barrels per day in February. Russian oil, in fact, comprised more than one-third of all imports in February, according to energy cargo tracker Vortexa, the Economic Times reported. Russia has also become the second-largest oil supplier to India after Iraq.
“The price cap has not been breached, and payments for Russian crude oil have been taking place. Had that been the case, the payments would have stopped,” a senior executive at an Indian state-run refiner, requesting anonymity, told Mint.
Separately, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that India will explore buying Russian crude oil beyond the price cap.
“Yes, because otherwise, I’ll end up paying far more than what I can afford,” the finance minister told Bloomberg in an interview on April 15 in Washington, when asked if India would continue importing Russian oil beyond the $60-a-barrel price cap.
“We have a large population and we also therefore have to look at prices which are going to be affordable for us.”

MAHONING TOWNSHIP -- Drivers are maneuvering slowly and cautiously around some giant rocks on northbound Route 209 just outside Jim Thorpe.
A rock slide forced PennDOT to shut down a portion of this two-lane stretch.
"I thought it was very scary. You know, we travel on the Mansion House hill all the time and I am just thankful no one was hurt or killed," said Maryanne Meixell, Jim Thorpe.
The rock slide happened just after 9:30 p.m. Friday.
No one was hurt, but police say one car did hit the rocks and had to be towed away.
PennDOT officials called in an engineer over the weekend to inspect the wall to make sure it was safe for drivers to pass.
"You know, those things will happen. I guess they have to happen occasionally but they don't happen too often. Just once in a great while, they happen," said Melvin Harrison, Newburg.
The rocks are not small. PennDOT officials say it is going to take some time to clean up this mess and in the meantime they just want drivers to be very careful.
Herman Baier from Lansford says a lot of people use this stretch of Route 209 during the week and on weekends. He's hoping the mess is cleaned up soon before it causes too much of a problem for drivers.
"They have the equipment for it but I guess they just have to get it in place and all cleaned up. I am sure they know how to do it, it's just a matter of getting it done and the time it will take to get it done," said Baier.
PennDOT officials are working on a plan to remove the rocks, but there is no time frame on when the cleanup will begin.

December 3rd, 2013
A world-record display of 502,165 colorful twinkling Christmas lights provided the magical backdrop for an awesome marriage proposal this past weekend in the Australian town of Forrest, a suburb of the capital city of Canberra.
On the opening night of the incredible display — which is assembled at the residence of barrister David Richards — Peter Qin went down on one knee and asked for the hand of Evelin Xu in front of a group of friends, family and wide-eyed members of the public. The delighted Xu said, “Yes,” and the newly engaged couple posed for pictures in the glow of the holiday light show.
In 2011, the Richards earned a Guinness World Record for decorating their home with 331,038 lights. But the record was short-lived. A family in upstate New York broke the record last year when they flipped the switch for 346,283 lights in the small town of Lagrangeville.
Not to be outdone, the Richards family was back in the game this year with another record-setting effort, out-decorating the New York family by more than 150,000 lights. According to NPR, the Richards’ yard features a canopy of lights fanning out beneath a large tree whose trunk is wrapped in glowing colors.
The extraordinary project is a fantastical labor of love for the Richards family, which includes wife Janean, and children Aidan, 13, Caitlin, 10, and Madelyn, 6.
The family accepts donations from holiday visitors to support SIDS and Kids ACT, two foundations that work to reduce sudden and unexpected death in children. In 2011, the family was able to raise $70,000. This time, they hope to break $100,000.
"The charity is very close to our heart," David Richards told The Canberra Times. "We lost a child, and SIDS looked after us many years ago."
Amazingly, if laid end to end, the Richards' display of a half-million LED lights would stretch more than 31 miles. The fee to keep the bulbs lit for the month-long public display is nearly $2,500, a bill paid by a local renewable energy company. What the family's attic looks like in the off-season can only be imagined.
“I have always loved Christmas,” he told The Canberra Times. "[By sharing] the Christmas lights with the community... you get to know people you probably should know better, I guess. It's like a party in your driveway every night."
The display runs from November 30 until December 26. If you’re traveling near the Australian capital city you may consider stopping by 3 Tennyson Crescent in Forrest to view the record-breaking spectacle.


Interviewer: Erin Newton, firstname.lastname@example.org, (303) 253-5090
Interviewee: John Chisum on May 2, 2019, Rose Roots Community Garden Founder along with Gina Schley, Garden Founder.
1. The neighborhoods around Rose Roots were established between 20 and 30 years ago and are called Five Parks to the West and Lakecrest to the East. How did the idea come about to create a community garden on city park open space between these neighborhoods? What were the initial goals and vision?
I lived next door to Gina Schley, and she was a real driver. We heard the area might be slated for more houses or tennis courts. In order to preserve the open space feel between developments, Gina contacted city council and Bob Dyer and shared that the Community of Five Parks had a plot of land that was designated as park land and the community was interested in having a community garden in addition to the five parks that were developed. The team applied for a city grant of $175,000 and proposed community agriculture as well as a CSA and an orchard which hasn’t yet been built out. They added a through way sidewalk to unite communities. At the end of the first three seasons we offered gardeners surveys with questions like “how many community members have you met?” And “how much more do you walk?” And “how many more vegetables do you eat?” We got positive feedback from respondents suggesting they felt more integrated in their community.
A private property to the east of the garden was offered grazing land for their llamas in exchange for the agreement to have the garden and walkway. The council wanted to preserve the agricultural and open space feel.
2. How did you come up with the Rose Roots Name?
There was a historic well and a small homesteading house to the west of the garden and the owners last name was “Rose” so the name was chosen to preserve a link with regional history.
3. What was the process of establishing the garden and costs? How did you become a member of Denver Urban Gardens?
Gina led several women from the CSA who helped write the grant proposal. I served as an advisor in how to create non-profits. There were others in the community who wanted to create a 501c3 after the model the Arvada Gardeners used, who used to be called the “Arvada Men’s Gardening Club”. Denver Urban Gardens holds a contract with the city of Arvada, so they offered master Gardener classes to our leaders and through community meetings to offer community information. DUG offered a template on how to start a new garden and supported the community meetings efforts. DUG offered suggestions of layout, plot sizes, pricing, and designed auto cad drawings. The city did all the watering infrastructure, leveled the land, put up the perimeter fence, and provided insurance. Our volunteers built the plots including the ADA beds, the composters and two small sheds provided by Leadership Arvada who are tied to the Arvada Chamber of Commerce. It is a leadership development organization comprised of adults who seek out community projects and they built and funded the two sheds. This is our 18th season so the actual physical development of the garden came together in the Spring of 2011 with planning starting several years before.

The Creature Who Got a Black Eye at the Lagoon!
This is a fun project, but it was a nightmare to make. The scene was too extensive for my pc at the time and this took me ages to load/render/pose... But, I really had so much fun making it. It's not my best comic and it does have a lot of flaws and errors, but that won't stop anyone from enjoying this issue. It has a good story and a nice sense of humor, and a lots of femuscle fighting action, and some nice lift and carry, male vs female size comparisons, and some muscle worship. The comic is about two young lovers who go to an eerie lake for some romance. All the girl wants is a kiss from her boyfriend, but a creature interrupts them. But, it quickly learns that not even a monster should ever come between a girl and her boyfriend. Just lots of fun and at 36 pages its a good sized read as well. I know you all will enjoy this one.

Ten years is a long time in television. Or is it?
Former The Biggest Loser host Ajay Rochester is rumoured to be returning to Network 10 a decade after being unceremoniously dumped by the commercial broadcaster.
Ajay Rochester is best known in Australia for hosting the first few seasons of The Biggest Loser.
"Just say someone who cared about the show went to producers and said, 'Look, I don't know whether we should have people who are into "demons" stepping on the stage,'" she said. "And maybe that person would be told, 'We don't want to know. We just want a good winner.' I went, 'Why don't we drug test all of them?' And they said, 'You can't ask questions … put your earpiece in and say what you're told.'"
In the interview, which didn't garner a whole lot of attention at the time, Rochester also claimed producers caught a contestant's sister smuggling tea tree oil onto set.
"Bottles and bottles of it," she said. "People use that to throw up and clean their system out. It's rotten. It's poison. [But] it wasn't in the rules and they couldn't take it away from him.
"Here's the irony of Biggest Loser. We've got all these contestants and we're trying to tell them to change their lives and help them lose all this weight. Then we give them an immunity challenge where they have 30 minutes to eat up to 150 liquor chocolates. I mean, seriously. There's nothing we didn't do."
Network 10 has remained – for the most part – tight-lipped about who will be sent into the South African jungle (or should we say grassland?) this year.
However, it did offer fans of the reality show a shiny clue earlier in the week that many believe all but confirms Rochester's return to Australian TV screens: "This attention-grabbing host is no stranger to controversy and is a huge hit with the tabloids."
Other people thought to be in the running for Sunday's big reveal include politicians Jacqui Lambie and Sam Dastyari, Survivor Australia host Jonathan LaPaglia and gossip reporter Richard Reid.
Former Gogglebox stars Angie Kent and Yvie Jones have already been confirmed as contestants on this year's show.

The six-year-old programming education provider for children in China has amassed a total of CNY 2.4 billion to date.
According to the Tianyancha news app, on February 1, 2021, Codemao saw industrial and commercial changes, with Guangdong-based electronics manufacturer Oppo becoming a new shareholder of the firm. It is worth noting that this is the first time Oppo has invested in a children's coding education company.
Codemao was founded in 2015, positioning itself as a platform for children's programming education. As of November 2020, it had established over 600 offline stores. Just about three months ago, Codemao announced its Series D round of financing, worth CNY 1.3 billion, with 12 investors, further disclosing a monthly revenue of over CNY 200 million.
Codemao ranks first in China in terms of the total amount (CNY 2.4 billion) raised by a programming education firm, followed by Makeblock (CNY 540 million) and Walnut education (CNY 470 million).
The track of children programming education has been backed by policies over the years. In January 2020, the Ministry of Education issued the 'strong foundation plan,' as it canceled the independent enrollment of colleges and universities, and launched a new talent training program, of which 40% is related to programming.
In December of the same year, the Ministry of Education introduced work progress updates on the aspects of bringing programming education into relevant courses in primary and secondary schools.
According to Tianyancha data, there are 653 children's programming-related enterprises in China, with 97 newly registered in 2018, 255 in 2019 and 190 in 2020.

In the weeks and months leading up to last year’s federal election I spent many hours pounding the pavement and knocking on doors.
My goal, to speak to as many locals as possible to find out just what issues our community felt needed the most attention of any incoming local member.
Unsurprisingly, health was the number one priority for residents of Kingsford Smith.
Because of this I made health one of my campaign’s main focal points.
Now, as your local MP, I consider it my duty to fight to ensure Kingsford Smith’s health system receives the resources it deserves.
Our area needs more funding for health care, not less.
That’s why I was incensed recently when told by the Humans Services Minister that our local Medicare office at Eastgardens would have its doors shut on Saturday’s.
Soon after learning of this decision I visited the local office to let people know that soon they would need to find time on their weekdays to run the extra errand.
When I visited the Medicare office on its last open Saturday it was overflowing, in fact the line was out the door (See picture).
Predictably, the vast majority of locals were dumfounded as to the logic behind such a decision.
In line with the community backlash I have established a petition to make sure the Government is aware that our community does not support the weekend closure of the Eastgardens Medicare office.
I encourage you to visit my website at www.mattthistlethwaite.com.au/savemedicare to sign the petition and make your voice heard.

It has been a while since I published something here for the last time. There are several reasons for it. The main one is that I received a big setback while trying to produce the Crow figures I had finished a year ago (do you remember them?: Here). A while back I had made my own homemade castings of the dollies, heads and weapons I had previously made, and used them to speed up the sculpting process. The funny thing is that these resin castings, being homemade, contained very tiny bubbles in the inside, what caused that the miniatures I had made reacted oddly under the preassure and heat of the metal casting process, becoming holes or being deformed, specially at the head.
Moreover, I was a bit naïf designing some of the poses, that turned out being almost impossible to cast, as my caster told me.
Due to these developments, and after lots of failed castings and months of repairs of the masters for them to be finally released, I had some decisions to make back in November/December:
A) I could continue reapiring and release some of the miniatures (not all of them), some of them with serious flaws I couldn't repair.
B) I could let the thing be and sculpt something else.
C) I could start over.
So, as you may have guessed I picked C and started the whole project from the beginning (that means: sculpting dollies, weapons, heads and such again, not complete figures) BUT then I suffered a sort of creative blockade and began a circle of sculpting things, finishing them, not liking them at all (or discovering they are wrong in some way), despairing, hating the project, becoming motivated again, starting over with other materials and...back to the beginning. That went on and on for many months, with lots of interferences of the real world and real job cutting my sculpting time.
Nevertheless, among lots of useless dollies, parts and scraps I was slowly able to finish some minor things so that the project went on (as fast as a snail, but...) Then the last month and a half I actually began overcoming the blockade and sculpting things that I could use, so I worked harder untill yesterday, when I f***ing finally finished it all!!!
Btw I have realised that I hate sculpting dollies insted of complete figures but I know in the end it's worth the effort
I didn't want to show anything here until I had something to show so here it is:
|Heads. It wasn't so easy to keep the same size on all of them
|Bodies. I went for dynamic poses and fit but not overmuscular types. I had my problems keeping the size of these too, I have made like 4 or 5 sets of these :-P
Not so impressive, but I'm really relieved that this part of the process is finally done.
I don't dare to give you an aproximated date of when this whole project could be finished but I'll try to keep you updated

For vegans and those allergic to eggs, finding a suitable alternative ingredient for recipes where eggs are crucial can be a nightmare or straight up impossible. But now, thanks to a French chef, the perfect alternative has been found. It’s called Aquafaba and it derives from… chickpea brine…
Egg is often the critical ingredient in baking— alternatives such as flaxseed, bananas, apple sauce, prunes, pumpkin, flax and chia can be used but while they work well in baked recipes like cake, they don’t work at all for egg white recipes like meringues because they can’t replicate the fluffy texture of beaten egg whites.
But French chef Joël Roessel somehow realised that the brine we chuck away when we drain a can of chickpeas can be whipped into the most perfect egg white type texture on the planet!
The brine has now been named by vegan baker Goose Wohlt as Aquafaba, which is apparently sort of Latin for bean liquid. The magical stuff has attracted more than 11,000 members to various Facebook groups set up in its honour, including “Vegan Meringue – Hits and Misses!” where vegans are showing the magical recipes they are successfully making using it!
So, how does it work? The website also set up in its honour, Aquafaba says,
“There have been a few opinions revealed in the development group(s) about the science of aquafaba and why it works the way it does. From our crowd-sourced experimentation, we know it’s an emulsifier, a leavening agent, and a foaming agent. It provides liquid content and agreeable organoleptic properties when baked, unlike traditional commercial egg replacers.”
The website is currently asking for donations towards formal chemical analysis or the magical by product. So far they’ve raised $240. Regardless of the chemical formulation, this is one magical natural alternative so Planetfem intends to pass on all the best Aquafaba recipes as we find them!

Thousands of protesters marched in the Algerian capital and cities across the country to commemorate two years since the beginning of mass protests that culminated weeks later in the departure of longtime President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.
Demonstrators in central Algiers on Monday chanted slogans against the country’s powerful military and President Abdelmadjid Tebboune as they marched towards the iconic Grand Poste building.
“We are not here to celebrate, we are here to demand your departure,” one placard read.
Security checkpoints created traffic jams across the city, with identity checks carried out around key flashpoints. Several arrests were made.
Police tried to block protesters from gathering around the Grand Poste, the epicentre of protests against Bouteflika.
Elsewhere in the country, marches were being held Monday including in Annaba, Oran, Setif and Mostaganem, according to witnesses and accounts on social media.
Origins of the movement
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets on February 22, 2019, to protest against Bouteflika’s bid for a fifth term in office, despite his failing health.
The octogenarian gave in to public pressure, announcing in early April his decision to step down after 20 years in power.
But demonstrations did not stop. People continued staging rallies on a weekly basis to demand a complete overhaul of the political system.
The military, seen by many as the arbiter of power, resisted popular demands for change, pressing ahead with a presidential election in December 2019, which saw Tebboune elected on a record low voter turnout of just under 40 percent.
‘Same old people’
Protesters had only suspended marches last March due to coronavirus restrictions, but calls circulated on social media for a return to the streets from Monday.
On the eve of the anniversary, Tebboune announced a limited government reshuffle, in a bid to head off renewed rallies.
The reshuffle saw few major changes by Tebboune, who was once a prime minister under Bouteflika.
Among those retained are Prime Minister Abdelaziz Djerad and Justice Minister Belkacem Zeghmati, seen as a symbol of Algeria’s judicial crackdown on protesters and opposition activists.
Tebboune also signed a decree dissolving parliament, clearing the way for early elections, for which no date has yet been set.

Welcome to The Making of Pinocchio! An up-close behind the scenes look at the quest to make Pinocchio the perfectly imperfect trans masc narrative of our times. In a forest of real wood and fake wood, and real fake wood, and fake real wood, join the cast, crew and creators as they construct Pinocchio over and over again, shaking the boundaries between possible and impossible, reality and fantasy. Turning wood into flesh, boys into donkeys, and making that nose grow… the tricks of the trade will be revealed before your very eyes. Artists and lovers Rosana Cadeand Ivor MacAskill have been making ›The Making of Pinocchio‹ since 2018, alongside and in response to Ivor’s gender transition. Glimpsed through a fictionalised making process, the artists’ real autobiographical experience meets the magical story of the little lying puppet who wants to be a real boy. Enter a world of wildly queer utopic imaginings, conjured in a click and lock landscape where everything can change, and everything can connect.The Making of Pinocchio: Digital Edition was designed as a special one-off digital performance, filmed in one take at Tramway (Glasgow) and first streamed online at Take Me Somewhere Festival (May 2021).
Cade & MacAskill are Rosana Cade (they/them) and Ivor MacAskill (he/him): renowned queer artists and facilitators based in Glasgow, Scotland. Their work, together and individually, straddles the worlds of experimental contemporary theatre, live art, queer cabaret, film, children’s performance, site specific, and socially engaged practices.
Their collaboration is born from a shared love of subversive humour, experimentation with persona and text, playful theatricality, and the joy they find in improvising together. They also share a passion for LGBTQIA+ rights and culture. They create strange, full aesthetic worlds on stage, with unique sonic elements embedded into their work due to ongoing collaboration with sound artist and designer Yas Clarke. They are both experienced facilitators and trained volunteers with LGBT Youth (Glasgow). They are currently in the process of setting up a co-operative to open a new LGBTQIA+ secondhand shop / community space in Glasgow.

An improbable series of events placed Skagway, Alaska, in the epicenter of the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Only two years later, the Gold Rush was over, and treasure seekers had moved on to Nome on Alaska’s west coast. Today, Skagway has a permanent population of less than 900, but during the summer tourist season, the number swells into the thousands.
Klondike Gold Rush
In 1887, Captain William Moore of Canada accompanied a native packer over a relatively unknown mountain pass in an area near the Pacific Coast about halfway between Seattle and what is now Anchorage. Acting on a hunch that gold would soon be discovered in the area, Moore settled at the foot of the pass. He named the area Mooresville and waited for the gold seekers to arrive. Ten years later, as Moore predicted, gold was discovered in Canada’s Klondike region, across the White Pass from Mooresville. By 1898, the name Mooresville was changed to Skagway, and the population swelled to approximately 10,000. A rough frontier town, Skagway was ruled by con men and good-time girls.
When gold was discovered in Nome in 1899, most treasure seekers moved on. Skagway’s population plummeted, and the town nearly fell into ruin. Saved by tourism in the 1920s, Skagway today is a sort of living history center. Every summer, hundreds of actors and historians recreate the excitement of the Gold Rush for thousands of cruise ship visitors.
Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
In 1998, Skagway was recognized as the Gateway to the Klondike, and the town became one of four members of the international Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park system. The National Park Service maintains a visitor center and museum in Skagway and is responsible for the maintenance of three additional buildings in town. Free guided walking tours depart from the visitor center five times per day throughout the summer tourist season. Led by national park rangers, the tours are historically accurate and professionally presented.
Downtown Skagway is pedestrian friendly. Dozens of historic sites, museums and entertainment options compete for tourist dollars with shops and restaurants. Instead of planning out your entire day, allow plenty of time to stroll through town and visit the spots that catch your eye.
The Red Onion Saloon, built in 1897, is one of Skagway’s most famous stops. Originally a pub with a brothel above, the Red Onion epitomized Skagway’s frontier appeal. Today, actresses in period garb give tours of the brothel, introducing travelers to some of Skagway’s most notable residents. Downstairs, the pub still serves up fresh Alaskan fare and strong alcoholic beverages.
The Days of 98 Show with Soapy Smith has been performed continuously since 1930. During the Klondike Gold Rush, no name was better known in Skagway than Jeff “Soapy” Smith. An underworld boss from Denver, Soapy decided to follow the Gold Rush to Skagway. He founded a highly popular saloon, which served as a front for his cons. Yet as depicted in the show, Soapy had a heart of gold.
White Pass and Yukon Railway
The narrow-gauge White Pass and Yukon Railway was begun in 1898 to ease the crossing to the Klondike gold fields but was not completed until 1900, when the Gold Rush had already ended. Nonetheless, the railroad proved vital for both shipping and passenger transport. The railroad ceased operations in 1982, but was revived as a tourist train in 1988.

Con posted a snippet of this not too long ago. If I’m not mistaken, the snippet was of Wayne’s verse & it was titled
Well here’s the full song & it’s actually called “Revolver”. I’ve actually played this song about a thousand times back to back. I’m in a cool mood right now & this has the right bounce to it. Don’t know who that is on the chorus, but he’s on point too!
Has a few tags on it, but nothing crazy.
**Just found out that this isn’t Madonna on the song. This song is a vocal demo (reference) for Madonna. The singer on it is still unknown.


The Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council (KAAC) election which likely to be held on second week of the December, 2011 has started to heat up in the ruling Congress party camp. Keeping aim to return in power the Congress has adopted many political war tactics.
To bring the common voters in favour of them the tactics to be brought into play in the political field. The ruling Congress party on Wednesday publicly asserted by holding press conference at Karbi Anglong District Congress committee conference Hall, Diphu regarding the political strategy to be played with in the upcoming KAAC polls.
While briefing the reporters, Sum Ronghang, President, Karbi Anglong District Congress committee (KADCC) officially disclosed that the party has decided to reach to every voter of 26 MAC constituencies by marching one-day-long ‘Janajagaran Jatra’ on 23rd October.
Ronghang reiterated that the developments that performed by the Congress-led KAAC body during their ten years tenure will be highlighted elaborately among the common voters. Besides, to assuage the problems of economic development of Karbi Anglong will also be discussed frankly among the general voters, Ronghang told the reports.
On the other hand, replying the questions of media persons, Ronghang firmly said, ‘We have no single objection on the peace talks that going to be accorded between the UPDS and Central government in future’.
Speaking on the interim government that demanding by the ceasefire UPDS, Ronghang said that in the existence of democratically elected party seeking of interim government by the ceasefire UPDS is not at all applicable in the democratic country. If they (UPDS) are interested to rule the KAAC then they should challenge first to win in the forthcoming KAAC election. If they emerged winner with absolute majority in the forthcoming elections then we have nothing say here, Ronghang added.
It may be mentioned here that though no alarm is getting to hoop in opposition’s camps as yet but the submission of aspirants candidates of Congress have already been completed. Altogether 144 contenders have already submitted their applications seeking for the party tickets to the KADCC.
It is worth mentioning that among the 26 MAC constituencies’ four candidates comprising Premala Beypi, Howraghat, Sum Ronghang, Langpher, Bidya Sing Rongpi, Mahamaya and Bhuban Chandra Terang , Socheng Dhenta declared confirmed for party ticket. No other aspirant candidates were sought party ticket against the four aforesaid seats. Though candidates are not declared officially against the four seats but it is final a party level source said.


Democrats in Congress will take a big step this week in what appears to be an inexorable march toward impeaching President Donald Trump, with the start of hearings seen as a precursor to formal charges being announced within weeks.
With opinion polls showing Americans bitterly divided over whether to impeach Trump, the Democratic-controlled Judiciary Committee in the House of Representatives will hold a hearing on Wednesday to explain to the American public what constitutes an impeachable offence.
It will also receive a report from the House Intelligence Committee laying out the evidence Democrats say shows Trump abused his office for personal political gain.
Democrats, who control the House, have been investigating whether the Republican president pressured Ukraine to investigate political rival Joe Biden, a former Democratic vice president who is seeking his party's nomination to face Trump in the 2020 presidential election, and his son Hunter Biden, who had been a board member of a Ukrainian energy company.
The impeachment inquiry has heard testimony from current and former officials that military aid was withheld from Ukraine and that a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was conditioned on the investigations being carried out.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing and says a July 25 phone call with Zelenskiy, in which he pressed for the probes, was "perfect." He and fellow Republicans say Democrats are seeking to overturn the will of the people in the 2016 election.
The judiciary panel will hear public testimony from four legal scholars on what constitutional basis a US president can be removed from office.
In a defiant response on Sunday night, the White House informed Democrats that Trump and his lawyers would not participate in Wednesday's hearing, citing a lack of "fundamental fairness." The proceedings would have been the first direct involvement by the Trump camp in a process he has condemned as a partisan "witch hunt."
But White House counsel Pat Cipollone did not rule out taking part in future proceedings if Democrats addressed a list of procedural complaints.
The Republican-controlled Senate, where any impeachment trial would be held, is highly unlikely to vote to oust Trump. Few Senate Republicans have shown an appetite for removing the president.
But the impeachment inquiry has cast a shadow over Trump's already tumultuous presidency and sharpened the divide among Americans that is likely to intensify as election campaigning heats up in the coming weeks.
Wednesday's hearing, while academic in nature, will set the stage for the Judiciary Committee to begin determining whether Trump should face formal articles of impeachment. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a letter to supporters last week that Trump had committed "bribery" and needed to be held accountable.
"Impeachment is the people's last line of self-defence against a president who insists upon acting like a king and trampling the rule of law," said Representative Jamie Raskin, a Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.
Democratic aides said a vote on possible articles of impeachment would follow quickly on the heels of an evidentiary hearing.

Color Changing White LED Lights Can Really Be a Great Fit
Lighting is by far one of the most important, yet often overlooked, qualities in any home or business. The quality of your lighting determines your comfort in the space, your ability to see without eye strain, and your overall level of satisfaction.

Many lighting choices also create an unnatural tint to the light that they give off, making everything look slightly blue or yellow. You may not be aware of it now, but after spending some time looking at LED lights, you will never look at traditional options the same way again. Today we will take a look at color changing white LED lights and how they can benefit your home or business.

LED light strips also offer benefits in terms of flexibility and usage. Because the light strips can be easily attached together, you will find that they are ideal for lining hallways, countertops, and other sizable areas.

To learn more about why color changing white LED lights are a perfect option for a variety of situations, take the time to watch an informative LED-Mate video that really showcases their capabilities. The chances are good that you will be quite surprised. Most people today are aware that LED lighting offers better quality and cost effectiveness, but few are aware of just how far the technology has come within the last few years.

Narellen and Blaxland
I should come up with a nifty, clever little title for this blog but it's been a long tour and I think I left the clever title thinking up bit of my brain back in Shepparton with my banner....
Me with the lovely ladies at the Narellan library.
Where along with the chance to chat to some lovely people, I got to see this beautiful display! Because the Camden Show was on over the weekend, the library had put together display featuring rural fiction books. It's such a marvellous way of showcasing many rural authors, and I was really excited that they included HOPE'S ROAD.
Now I hasten to add that all of this was happening outside the Blaxland library and had nothing whatsoever to do with me!
And all was well once we got inside and found a welcoming crowd of book lovers, a delightful library and the marvellous staff from local bookshop The Turning Page.
Next up was another delightful crowd at the Vertigo Lounge, a gorgeous little coffee shop run by a delightful lady called Kristine. The night was put on by Collins Booksellers Orange. It was like revisiting old friends seeing Margaret and Phillip (Collins store owners) again. A wonderful night.


National Grid have informed us that they have a gas leak on Ramsbottom Lane in the town centre, in the vicinity of Sanminis Restaurant.
They have been venting the area but now wish to carry out some rock drilling on Sunday (11 January) to locate the leak. They will then need to return on Monday (12 January) to hopefully carry out the repair.
National Grid have been requested to use stop/go boards which will give greater flexibility to the traffic control at this very busy location.
However, when they return on Monday they will be using temporary two way traffic signals as they cannot guarantee that they will have the repair completed in one day. If this is the case the signals will remain in situ and will be manned at peak periods.
If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

At 10:10 AM on March 27, 1964, a 9.2 magnitude earthquake erupted in Alaska’s Prince William Sound about 70 miles east of Anchorage. It devastated the city and caused significant damage over more than a 50,000 sq. mile area. The resulting underwater landslides and sea floor elevation shifts created a a tsunami that rose to 220 feet in some areas in the Gulf of Alaska. Within the next 24 hours, 12 aftershocks of 6.0 magnitude or greater continued to rock south central and southeast Alaska, significantly limiting initial damage assessments and rescue operations.
Roadways and railroads were buckled and broke apart, covered with trees, rocks and dirt from landslides. Portions sunk into the ocean along the coast. Almost all bridges were damaged and required at least an engineer’s survey before use.
Moreover, the Port of Anchorage was damaged. One cargo terminal collapsed while the two remaining terminals sustained minor structural damage to the terminal supporting dock. Because the crane tracks were rated to 50 percent capacity, the port’s lift capability was dramatically reduced. One collapsed and the other’s lift capacity dropped to 50 percent, reducing the overall docking support.
Two of the four petroleum storage tanks ruptured and a petroleum terminal suffered structuraldamage requiring a full manifold replacement. The sea floor at the port lifted to a depth of 15 feet, preventing commercial cargo ships from mooring at the port since their required water depth is 18-22 feet.
To complicate matters further, the communication network throughout the area was compromised; fumes from natural gas and heating oil were widespread in south central and southeast Alaska, and 20 percent to 35 percent of all structures in the affected area were damaged to varying degrees.
Recreating and responding
The 2014 National Exercise Program’s (NEP) Capstone Exercise simulated the 1964 Good Friday Alaskan Earthquake.
Nearly 12,000 Department of Defense (DoD) personnel participated in the exercise, which substantially improved interagency preparedness in managing catastrophic, widespread natural disasters in an area the size of Alaska. The event enabled the Army’s 7th Expeditionary Transportation Brigade (7th TB(X) to exercise and demonstrate its capabilities in responding to requests for assistance from civil authorities and mission assignments to support a lead federal agency.

Army Maj. Michael J. Harris is Director of Support Operations-Port Opening and Synchronization Cell, 7th TB(X) at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. He was the JLOTS chief operations officer and the the Joint Officer In Charge of Operations during JLOTS 14. He’s also a graduate of FEMA’s Emergency Management Institute-Interagency Logistics Course.
