ItÂ is natural that we would like to relax or eat out in public with our family or friends, as well as enjoy a theatre play without worries. Unfortunately, losing our teeth makes our everyday life more difficult, and hidingÂ our teeth constantly can become a serious mental burden.Can we ever have a great time again, without being embarrassed by our teeth? How can we eat normally and in public again? The solution to this problem has kept people’s minds occupied for a long time.
The first finding of a fake set of teeth originates from the 8th century BC, from the territory of the former Etruscan Empire. This special prosthesis was made of animal teeth. This solution turned out to be so efficient that missing teeth were mainly replaced in this way until the 1800s.
In the 1700s, teeth made of special tusks also appeared – the most famous person who wore a set of teeth made of carved hippopotamus ivory was George Washington.At the beginning of the 19th century, when the use of sugar became more widespread, the demand for tooth replacement became bigger. Besides the prostheses made of carved animal teeth, human teeth were also used in order to achieve a life-like appearance. The human teeth mainly belonged to prisoners sentenced to death and dead soldiers.Nowadays, there are several possibilities for tooth replacement. Thanks to modern procedures, the implant placed in place of a missing tooth fits completely to our remaining, intact teeth, while the completeÂ rehabilitation resembles our original teeth.LosingÂ a tooth or teeth can happen to anyone. Would you have thought that Gordon Ramsay, Demi Moore and Tom Cruise all wear unnatural teeth?
This article will answer the following questions:
- What are the causes of early tooth loss?
- What is the direct cause of tooth loss?
- What happens if a tooth is left unreplaced?
- How can a missing tooth be replaced?Â
- How should weÂ take care of our replacementÂ properly?
What are the causes of early tooth loss?
Unfortunately, losing teeth is a very common problem â€“ according to the results of an international survey, people between the age of 50 and 64 have an average of 23 remainingÂ teeth instead of 32.
Factors that increase the probability of losing teeth include: age above 35 years, being male, skipping the regular dental check-ups, skipping brushing the teeth, diabetes, high blood pressure and rheumatoid arthritis.
According to a survey, 3 out of 10 patients who need tooth implants smoke or used to smoke. 60% of the patients brushed their teeth only occasionally, while 16% brushed them two times a day.
What is the direct cause of a missing tooth?
- Gum diseasesâ€“ the primary cause of tooth loss is the inflammatory disease of the gum. The main symptoms of gum disorders are swollen, bleeding gums followed by recession. In serious cases, even touching the gum might result in bleeding; the gum moves away from the tooth and we lose the tooth as a consequence. If the patient’s condition involves circulatory disorders (as in the case of diabetes and high blood pressure) or autoimmune inflammatory diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis), the probability of gum disease is much higher than in normal cases.
- Dental caries â€“ it is usually the consequence of inadequate oral hygiene. A so called plaque appears on the tooth surface where bacteria can settle down. These bacteria emit acidic materials which damage the structure of the teeth.
- Birth defects â€“ because of genetic disorders, the shape, number and positionÂ of the teethÂ may differ from the usual.
What happens if a tooth is left unreplaced?
- Intact teeth start to move in the direction of the missing tooth
- The teeth lose their original position, theyÂ extend, roots lose stability
- The chewing strength of the teeth gets reduced
- Gums getÂ inflamed
- Every bite causes pain, eating becomesÂ a torment
- The jaw does not get loaded, thus the bones thinÂ and decrease significantly
- The joints of the jaw also becomeÂ inflamed
- The facial and neck muscles deform
- This deformation affects the spine, through it, it affects the whole body
- TheÂ posture, walk and position of internal organs change
How can missing tooth be replaced?
We can choose from several options for replacing missing teeth, to make our smile perfect. These include complete or partial replacement with dentures and the use of dental implants. To find the appropriate solution, we should turn to a specialist by all means.
- Conventional denture fully attached to the gum â€“ A denture that can be attached to the complete lower or complete upper gum can be a solution after losing all of our teeth. For the sake of adequate fit, it is important to wait for all the changes to be final, which are occurring in the gums and the jaw caused by the absence of our teeth. For this period, a temporal denture is prepared until the gum regnerates. After healing, our dentist will make the permanent denture based on a new impression. With the help of a flesh-coloured acrylic base, it fits perfectly to the gum and palate (in case of the lower teeth, the acrylic base is U-shaped).
- Partial denture â€“ a partial denture is needed if we still have some of our own teeth. The false teeth of the partial denture are attached to the real teeth vith the help ofÂ a metal structure.
- Full implant denture – if our jaw is in the appropriate condition for it, it is possible to fix the complete denture in a stable way. It is usually done while replacing the lower set of teeth, because the conventional lower denture is attached to the gum in a less stable way.
Wearing a removable denture is an unusual, uncomfortable feeling at first and it can cause some inconvenience until our gum gets used to the new device. It can temporarily increase salivation but it will settle down after getting used to the denture.
During acclimatization, we should make sure that we donÂ not eat foods whichÂ are too hard or sticky. It is useful to cut the food into smaller portions so the modified chewing movements will not cause a problem. After the implementation, our speech will also change – in order to be able to get our speech back to normal, we should read out loud for 15 minutes two times a day.
Today, dental implants are the most modern known solution to replace one or more missing teeth. The implant made of titanium – which is an artificial tooth root – is implantedÂ into theÂ jawbone. After implantation, bone tissue will grow around the implant in the healing period and it keeps the implanted artificial tooth root in place.
After the healing phase of 3-6 months, the superstructure is placed on the implant, so the implant abutment and crown made of either metal-ceramics or full ceramics.
Tooth implantation requires careful preparations. Before the implantation, a panoramic x-ray is made. If the dentist deems the bone structureÂ adequate for the implantation, they will prepare the jaw bone for the implantation at the next session. If the bone mass is insuficient, bone graft must be carried out, which can be done in the same session as the implantation. The intervention can beÂ done under local or general (total) anaesthesia. We should inform our dentist about any medication that we regularly take and whether we have any drug allergy.
In the 5-7 days after surgery, the gum can be flagrant and sensitive for which our dentist describes antibiotics. The pain following the surgery can be compared to the inconveniences we feel after smaller dental interventions. If we pay attention to oral hygiene after the healing time, the pain will not return.
The dental implant is very similar to original teeth, so it is the most comfortable solution for replacing a missing tooth. It will not alter our speech, we can eat any type of food regardless of hardness and it gives ourÂ confidence back.
How should we take care of our replacement properly?
Cleaning the removable denture
It’s important to clean the denture after taking it out of our mouth with a cleaning pasteÂ specificallyÂ made for this purpose. AÂ conventional tooth brush and tooth paste can discolour and damage the denture, so they should not be used.
At night we should place the denture in water, it should not be left out to dry.
We should clean our gums and tongue with a softly bristled brush and tooth paste. For the sake of more stable fixation, in the case of conventional dentures we can use a special denture-fixing gel recommended by our dentist.
Cleaning the dental implant
The cleaning of an implanted tooth root in place of a missing tooth differs from the traditional dental care. The first priority is cleaning the complete surface of the tooth, especially the parts close to the gum.
We should clean our teeth in the conventional way using a softly bristled tooth brush. Afterwards, we should loop dental floss around the implanted tooth and move it around carefully. After finishing the procedure, we should use a special interdental cleaning brush with thin bristles in order to remove plaque effectively.
Not cleaning your implantedÂ teeth appropriately can lead to serious bacterial infections which can cause gum inflammation and loss of implant in extreme cases.
Protect and take care of your health!

How to Safely Put Weight on a Starved Horse
Have you ever taken in a horse that has been starved? A truly starved horse – not one that’s just a bit underweight, but one that’s significantly underweight – requires a specialized and careful nutritional approach in order to regain both weight and health. If you, or someone you know, ever decide to take on a starved horse, be sure that you’re familiar with the information below.
When horses have been starved, their bodies have run out of fat and carbohydrates to use for energy production. Instead, they have begun to break down protein from muscle as well as body tissues, like the heart, in order to power their metabolic processes. This leaves the horse in a highly dangerous state.
As food and good nutrition are reintroduced, these horses can suffer from a condition called “refeeding syndrome.” Concentrated calories, such as those in grain, can cause kidney, heart, and respiratory failure. This is usually seen between 3 and 5 days after the horse is given his first meal of grain.
The Refeeding Protocol
To combat this issue, the University of California Davis Center for Equine Health created a small research team to determine just how to most safelythe safest feed program for starved horses. Through experimentation, the team created a refeeding program that is recommended (and widely used) to refeed horses that have been starved.
According to the UC Davis Refeeding Program, starved horses do best when initially fed frequent small meals of a high-quality alfalfa. During each feeding, you can slowly increase the amount of alfalfa fed, while also gradually decreasing the number of feedings that you provide over the initial 10-day period.
Once a horse has been on this regimen for between about 10 and to 14 days, you can feed the horse as much as he will eat, and in larger meals. According to the study, it typically takes between 3 and 5 months to fully rehabilitate a horse to his previous weight.
If you take on a starved horse, your first priority should be to schedule a thorough veterinary examination to identify any health issues that the horse may be experiencing. You should discuss your refeeding program with your veterinarian, who can advise you on any risk factors that may affect your individual horse, since no one horse is the same.
You will want to check to see if the horse needs dental treatment, and your vet should be able to recommend a deworming protocol, as well as when to put establish that protocol into place (you may need to wait until the horse is a bit stronger and in better health before deworming). Other issues, like gastric ulcers or the presence of a metabolic issue, can also pose a challenge in putting weight on a horse, so be sure to discuss these with your vet.
Feeding a starved horse takes time, patience, and attentive monitoring of the horse’s condition. A horse that has been starved can be in a life-threatening situation, so work closely with your vet to track your progress and make sure that you’re on the right track.

HAL’s Rotterdam arrived in New York City as part of its 150th anniversary transatlantic crossing
Holland America Line (HAL)’s Rotterdam has made a maiden call in New York City, USA, as part of its transatlantic crossing from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to Fort Lauderdale in Florida to celebrate the line’s 150th anniversary.
The ship departed from Rotterdam on 15 October 2022, mirroring the journey of its namesake and HAL’s first cruise vessel, which sailed from the city on 15 October 1872.
To commemorate the new Rotterdam’s arrival in New York on 26 October, the brand hosted an evening of entertainment, which included a performance of a musical piece by Emmy Award-winning producer Steven Schoenberg.
HAL has also partnered with The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation to celebrate it’s 150-year journey from its origins as an immigrant carrier to becoming a consumer fleet. As part of this, the brand will play a video produced by an Ellis Island researcher onboard ships across its entire fleet, and will also launch a curated exhibit at Ellis Island in 2023. It will show HAL’s historical prominence in bringing one in 10 immigrants from Europe to the USA.
“We are excited to be celebrating our 150th anniversary in such a vibrant city with our newest ship on a rare overnight call,” said Gus Antorcha, president of HAL. “There's nothing like sailing into New York under the Verrazano Bridge, past the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Standing on deck, you can't help but think back to more than a century ago, feeling the emotion of arriving in America for the first time. Recreating our first voyage has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

There’s a big difference in the quality of airline food – on the same airline – depending where the flight originates. The food on the flight from Paris to Los Angeles was significantly better than the reverse. Something about the French and food?
Lunch was a decent Ham and Cheese quiche with a Scandinavian Style Smoke Salmon salad, which was really good. Again, included in the air fare.
Back home and Foodie Greg had planned a celebratory dinner: duck breast on brown rice with a pomegranate slaw and pomegranate, ponzu and soy drizzle.
The duck breasts were scored and fried skin down to render out some delicious duck fat (saved for later use) and crispen the skin. A little sear on the other side, and into the oven to finish, before resting, cutting and serving.
The slaw was a supermarket broccoli slaw to which pomegranate pearls were added.
The organic duck breasts were $14.23, or $7.12 per serve (expensive but comparable with our Prather Ranch steaks)
The country rice blend was $2.63 for the packet but that will make four serves, so 66c serve.
The broccoli slaw was $1.69 or 12 oz, but we used only half or 21c per serve
The pomegranate seeds/pearls are $3.99 for the pack, or $2.00 a serve
Add 20c for the drizzle ingredients.
Dinner tonight was superb, and cost $10.19 but would be at least three times that in a restaurant.
Still in Barcelona and caught in setting up, there was no time to go out for lunch, so lunch was bought to us. Foodie Philip had a quite decent roll filled with pork and cheese.
Lunch was supplied by the Final Cut Pro X Tour organizers.
Many hours later, after the event concluded at 10:00pm, the organizers, workers and presenters went out for dinner. We had an 11pm booking, which is not that unusual in Barcelona.
Food flowed, starting with tomato bread, parma ham and a cheese I didn’t catch.
Followed by two types of croquette: one fish, one mushroom. Both were great, but the mushroom one came out twice and Foodie Philip had three!
There was a large shrimp and an interesting combination of chorizo sausage (cooked of course, so it had a crisp shell) and hummus. Unexpected but very good.
After all this food, several glasses of wine and 1am rolling around, we got to the entree! We’d been asked for our selection of pork or tuna. I chose pork, not knowing the tuna was served as huge steaks just lightly seared.
The pork was delicious, and the padron peppers are a favorite. No hot one this time. The meal concluded with either dessert or cocktail. The cocktail was vodka based, delicious but otherwise unknown.
A delicious meal with great people that I reluctantly had to leave at 1:30am because my 7am alarm to catch the flight home was looming.
After a breakfast offering on the plane that was the absolute worst airline food I’d experienced and completely inedible, I was set for lunch in Paris – well, at Charles DeGaul Airport! Because the flights had been delayed by the airline they offered an 8 Euro voucher, which was used to purchase a ham and cheese quiche, which was quite good.
No cost to us!
At the recommendation of a friend, Foodie Philip walked the two miles to Bar La Plata where the entire ordering conversations was:
“You want tomato?” “Yes.”
“You want fish?” “Yes”
“You want beer?” “Yes”
I wasn’t exactly sure what type of tomato or fish dish I was going to get, but from what was around me, I was pretty sure the fish component was deep fried sardine (or similar small fish) eaten whole.
But first came the tomato, onion, dried olive salad drizzled with olive oil. High quality ingredients simply prepared and utterly delicious. The onion was quite sweet and not at all sulfurous.
The fish was as expected: deep fried sardine lightly salted. And utterly delicious. It’s today’s featured image.
With a beer the dinner cost 7 Euro or $7.70 approximately
And then the two mile walk back to my accommodations!
A return to the roast chicken option. Today’s bird was so big we didn’t use the entirety of half a breast.
The flatbread is 50c per serve
The roast chicken is $9.99 for the bird, but we used .75 of a breast, or 94c per serve
Chickpea Balela salad is $2.69 or 68c per serve
Hummus is $3.99 per container and we used about 1/6 or 33c per serve
Lunch today cost $2.45 per serve.
Foodie Philip, who writes the blog, was heading for Barcelona on business, so his dinner was wheatgerm salad with shiitake mushrooms, and Chicken, Catalonian sauce, rice, mixed grains. The salad was tasty, the chicken dish: not bad for airline food.
While we spent most of the month at home, the results are influenced by four days away at the Final Cut Pro X Creative Summit and an pop-up restaurant meal.
The averages for this month:
Lunch prepared at home $2.12 ($3.66 in September)
Lunch eaten or purchased outside the home: $9.05 ($12.72)
Dinner eaten at home: $5.31 ($5.86)
Dinner eaten out: $26.32 ($26.28)
Our most expensive meal was the pop-up restaurant at $64.00 per serve.
Had we purchased every lunch and prepared none it would have cost us $280.55 per person in October. We actually spent $33.95 for lunches at home plus $126.67 for lunches purchased or eaten out: $160.62.
Had we purchased every evening meal out and prepared none at home, it would have cost us $815.92. We actually spent $116.87 for dinners at home and $157.92 for dinners out: $274.79.
We saved $661 by preparing and eating most meals at home.
Back at Armadillo Willies to record a Lunch with Philip and Greg with the esteemed Steve Martin of Ripple Training. Because we had a long trip home and would be eating dinner late, we both opted for the Brisket meal.
We enjoyed the BBQ at Armadillo Willies. I have no idea how authentically Texan it was.
Lunch today cost $17.89
Back home and looking for something simple, we reheated some Trader Joes OctoberFest bratwurst and put them in a finished par-baked roll with sauerkraut and mustard. Two were more than Foodie Greg could eat, but Foodie Philip managed!
The bratwurst are $3.49 for the pack, or $1.75 per serve
The sauerkraut is $2.99 a pack or 30c per serve
Six par baked rustic rolls were $3.29 or 55c per serve

1976’s self-titled effort was praised heavily by Circus Magazine upon its original release, where it was called the greatest debut album ever produced by an American rock band. While it certainly does not live up to that extreme level of hype, it’s still a solid record, with most everything written and sung solely by Squier.
The highlights are two of the poppier numbers, the power-pop classic “Who’s Your Boyfriend? (I Got a Feelin’)” and the crunchy “Telephone… read more

When my children were born, I realized what it feels like to have my heart walking around on the outside of my body. In thinking about any illness or challenge coming their way, it would catch my breath. I was swept into the sea of connectedness and now cannot get away from the sense of being responsible for them.
This amazing process, I believe like most things, is a good thing that can go bad. One of the ways that my connection to my children and my sense of responsibility can make things go bad is that I might get involved in ways that are a detriment to their development.
What could this look like? Every season will present a way in which I will get over-involved. This season with young children might look like my discomfort with their discomfort getting in the way of them making mistakes that are necessary and helpful for their development.
Children need to fall to figure out the limits of their physical capacity. They need to struggle through getting the shoes on the right feet so that they can feel the joy of competency when they get it right! They need to struggle through friendship hiccups where they decide traits of friendships that they want to work for versus which relationship dynamics they aren’t too interested in.
If I always set the limits for them, the muscles needed to evaluate their limits and express that to others will not get fully developed. Even in the littlest ways.
We had some family over this weekend, and one of them was playfully rough-housing with my five-year-old. My son realized he did not like what was going on and with a serious and calm voice said, “I do not like that.” I think training our children to get clear on what they do and do not like is valuable. Supporting them in feeling free to communicate that can help with issues like consent, problem solving, and mental health symptoms that come from over-exertion and over-extension.
Depression and anxiety often, in part, stem from living as if one does not have limits in an effort to not disappoint others or one’s self. The freedom to have limits is a gift we pass along to our children.
So, you hear me saying to on-purpose use restraint and let your children make mistakes in lots of small ways all day long!? Yup! Why would someone trudge through the inconvenience, stress, discomfort and fear of this? I’m so glad you asked.
When we get into the position of allowing our children’s behavior and mistakes to stimulate us to the point that we cannot tolerate the frustrating process of learning, we actively stunt their growth. When my children work to put on their shoes, I do deep belly breathing.
I know that my own urgency and feelings of expectation around time are not a fair reason to shortchange the many moments of trial and error that it takes to learn an important life skill. When we learn something new, there are normal emotions associated. Frustration, anger, helplessness, and despair are some of them. These often make way for elation, joy and celebration of a new competency – but our patience is required.
Calming one’s own self down will be a requirement to make room for the messy growing our children need to do.

Since we love shoes so much, anybody who brings us a new pair deserves attention. The two high-end designers, Giuseppe Zanotti and French company Vionnet, announced their collaboration, Vionnet Giuseppe, a line of shoes with silk and leather fabrics and colorful ankle straps. The new brand, although released in Milan, will officially come out in October during Paris’ Fashion Week. The shoes, designed by Zanotti, took its inspiration from Vionnet’s feminine elegance, hoping to enhance the future of Vionnet’s shoes. Can’t wait another few months? See the similar options we found:
The contrasting toe with the matching ankle strap compliments this chic heel. Slip your foot in Stuart Weitzman’s Tweeting heels ($241.20, down from $335) for the office or any time you want to give yourself a little height.
The ankle strap heel will be forever popular, but with the thick ankle strap (which looks more like a cuff), these Vionnet Giuseppe sandals and BCBGMAXAZRIA Moriel sandals ($111) are ideal for cocktail parties or a night out with skinny jeans.
Nothing says glamorous more than the black bow adorning both of these shoes. The ivory leather on these Karen Millen Snake Effect sandasl ($228.27) stand out from the pack.

Informercial: Infuse your beer with Randall The Mini Enamel Animal!
Whip out your Netflix queue and add Heartbeats to the list. It’s a feature by 22-year-old filmmaking virtuoso Xavier Dolan, who seems to know a thing or two about love, desire, and hyper tense but tender love triangles. GQ’s Eric Sullivan explains:
As an aspiring amateur fiction writer a few years back, I turned regularly to Dubliners, James Joyce’s short story collection that he completed when he was just 23. Before I was that old, I remember telling myself that I had time—not to create a story as great as, say, “The Dead”—but to write something that I was truly proud of. Twenty-three came and went, and my writing career went nowhere. Joyce’s collection became a symbol, not just of an awesome mind keenly trained on the human psyche, but also of my own failure to do the same. Appreciating precocious artistry can be a challenge. One can be in awe of someone’s talent and still be jealous as Hell.
Which brings us to Heartbeats, the sophomore feature from Quebecois up-and-comer Xavier Dolan. He wrote, edited, directed, and stars in the film. He was 21 when the film was released. Dubliners it ain’t, but Heartbeats heralds the arrival of a preternaturally gifted filmmaker. Did I mention that he’s damn good looking?
Anyway, it’s centered around the bizarre love triangle between Francis (played by Dolan), his best friend Marie, and Nicolas, a slab of cherubic eye candy who they meet at a dinner party. The first two are smitten with the latter, whose naiveté or flat-out indifference toward their feelings leads to jealousy and self-doubt.
Find the rest here.

Andrew Bird and Sam Beam (aka Iron & Wine) seem like guys who should’ve known each other going back to at least the mid 2000s — an era when each became a distinctive presence on the indie folk landscape. Each is a writer and performer of particular acumen — acoustic-based songs driven by incisive lyricism and deceptively simple melodic structures. Each is in their late 40s. Each a visual curiosity — Beam set apart by his impressively rendered beard, while Bird’s pencil-thin frame is often clad in uniquely natty attire. And each now sports a hearty discography — Bird recently released his 14th solo studio album, Inside Problems, while Beam’s most recent effort, 2019’s Years to Burn, is a collaboration with the like-minded dudes in Calexico.
Yet Bird and Beam didn’t meet until a few years ago. They hit it off so well, they wanted to tour together. But then the pandemic hit.
“It will have been more than two years of being grounded when we finally embark on the ‘Outside Problems’ summer tour,” Bird said in a statement when their collaborative effort was finally announced last December. “I only wish it could happen sooner. I’m not sure why it took so long for me to meet Sam Beam. His music I have known and admired for many years now. What a lovely guy. The kind of guy that would help you move.”
If the tour’s recent stop at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado is any indication, expect a full set from each guy, punctuated by a collaborative section during which Beam joins Bird’s band for a series of songs that is likely to include at least one cover (Bill Withers’ “Just the Two of Us” was the choice at Red Rocks).
As Beam described the situation recently via his Twitter account: “Special set of Iron & Wine and Andrew Bird performing together each night — stay for full show to be surprised when it happens.”
Andrew Bird and Iron & Wine play PNC Pavilion at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 4. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Meshelle Ndegeocello will open the show. There are no COVID-19 protocols in place for the event. Info: riverbend.org.


Ukraine's Transport Minister Heorhiy Kyrpa has been found dead at his holiday home near the capital Kiev.
Heorhiy Kyrpa was a staunch supporter of Viktor Yanukovych
The minister is reported to have gunshot wounds and officials said a gun was found near his body.
Mr Kyrpa, 58, appointed in 2002, was a staunch supporter of Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych.
There are no reports his death is linked to Mr Yanukovych's defeat by opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko in Sunday's presidential poll re-run.
A government source told Reuters news agency it was not clear whether Mr Kyrpa had killed himself.
Mr Kyrpa, regarded as one of the most influential figures in the current government, was named transport minister in July by outgoing President Leonid Kuchma.
He was a high-ranking official in the United Social Democratic Party and regarded as having close ties to Mr Kuchma.
Mr Kyrpa's spokesman, Eduard Zanyuk, told the AFP news agency he had noticed "absolutely no change" in the politician's behaviour which would support local media speculation that he had killed himself.


Golden girl Keely’s emotional tribute to her first coach
KEELY HODGKINSON received the gift of a gold medal for her 21st birthday — then paid a poignant tribute to the coach from her formative years.
On a night when her team captain Jazmin Sawyers won a shock gold in the long jump, the British middle-distance star cruised to a more expected victory in the 800metres at the European Indoor Championships.
Yet Hodgkinson’s title defence meant more than usual as it came just five days after the death of her former Leigh Harriers coach, Joe Galvin, 80.
The Olympic and world silver medallist wore a green-and-white ribbon on her kit — a nod to Leigh’s colours — then celebrated with a Union flag which her mum had customised with the words ‘RIP Joe Galvin. Legend’. ‘This is for him,’ said a tearful Hodgkinson. ‘He was my first coach for about seven years. He had a lot of belief in 10-year-old me.
‘He passed away on Tuesday, so I’ve not really had time to process it and I was a bit emotional out there. I know he will be up there watching, along with his wife at home, who I know will be so proud of me as well.’ Hodgkinson turned 21 on Friday and was always likely to mark her coming of age with victory in Istanbul. She led from the start and finished in 1min 58.66sec, almost two seconds clear of Slovene Anita Horvat.
She will now set her sights on dethroning American rival Athing Mu at the World Championships in Budapest in August. But before that is a girls’ holiday to celebrate her birthday. ‘I’m going to Dubai with my friends. We’re already halfway there!’ Hodgkinson’s team captain Sawyers deserves a big celebration of her own after winning the long jump with a British indoor record leap of seven metres.
The 28-year-old could barely believe her world-leading jump in the penultimate round, immediately hugging Hodgkinson, who was on her lap of honour.
‘Can they make me team captain every time? Apparently I rise to the occasion,’ beamed Sawyers after winning her first international gold medal. ‘When seven metres flashed up, I lost my mind. It exceed my expectations. It won the last Olympics. For Keely to be there as well to give me a hug, it’s the stuff of dreams.’ The action at the Atakoy Arena ended on a sombre note, however, as Spanish hurdler Enrique Llopis was carried off the track after crashing into the final hurdle and smashing his head on the floor. The 22-year-old lay motionless while medics rushed to his aid and covered him from view with a tent. Llopis left the arena in a neck brace after of treatment but the Spanish Athletics Federation later tweeted a video of him talking in hospital.

Treatment of CSVV is sometimes unnecessary as the disease is usually self-limiting. When possible, identification and removal of causative agents (e.g., infection, drug, chemicals, food) should be accomplished. Removal of an inciting agent is occasionally followed by rapid resolution of the lesions and no other treatment is indicated; otherwise local and systemic therapies are recommended (Sams, 1980; Soter and Wolff, 1987; Jorizzo et al., 1988; Lynch, 1988; Schifferli et al.,
1989; Chan et al., 1990; Habif, 1990; Braun-Falco et al., 1991; Ryan, 1992; Campanile and Lotti, 1995; Lotti et al., 1996; Comacchi et al., 1998a).
Local therapies are aimed at improving lower extremity circulation and relieve symptomatic complaints. Topical treatment (corticosteroid creams, calcineurin inhibitors, and antibiotic ointments) may be helpful in some patients however, there is no data to support their use (Barham et al., 2004). Gradient support stockings may also be useful as stasis changes often times compound the issue (Braun-Falco et al., 1991; Burge, 1991; Lotti et al., 1996; Comacchi et al., 1998a).
Systemic treatment is advised for patients with CSVV with significant systemic manifestations or those with significant cutaneous ulceration however almost no double-blind, placebo-controlled prospective trials exist (Lotti et al., 1998). Table 8 describes a therapeutic ladder for patients with CSVV (Barham et al., 2004).
Oral corticosteroids, prednisone at a dosage of 30-80 mg/day, tapered over 3-6 weeks often give effective symptom control. No controlled trials have been carried out to support the use in isolated CSVV, however, case series have shown benefit in cases with painful progressive cutaneous lesion.
Therapeutic ladder for patients with CSVV (Modified from Lotti et al., 1998; Barham K.L. et al., 2004)
Skin lesions alone Supportive therapya Antihistaminesa
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugsb
Ulcerative skin lesions alone Thalidomidea
Low-dose weekly methotrexatea Prednisoneb
Systemic disease Prednisoneb Azathioprineb Cyclophosphamideb Mycophenolate mofetila Cyclosporinea
Interferon-a (if hepatitis C-associated)c Intravenous gammaglobulina Extracorporeal immunomodulationa
Biologic agents - infliximab, etanercept (TNF-a inhibitors)a a Case reports. b Case series. c Double-blind studies.
Rebound is a serious problem with rapid reduction of dose; therefore, a slow taper should be instituted. The risks of prednisone are well known and long-term use is rarely warranted (Lotti et al., 1998).
The neutrophil Chemotaxis inhibitor colchicine failed to show benefit in a randomized controlled trial (Sais et al., 1995). Despite this recent study anecdotal evidence and open label studies have demonstrated effectiveness. The recommended dose is 0.6 mg tid. Gastrointestinal symptoms are the usual limiting factor. Benefits may be seen as early as 2 weeks after initiating therapy (Hazen and Michel, 1979; Callen, 1985; Plotnick et al., 1989; Lotti et al., 1998).
Similarly, dapsone in doses of 50-200 mg/day has anecdotally been reported to be effective in isolated cases of CSVV. Response may take several weeks and may be more advantageous when used in combination with colchicine (Lotti et al., 1998).
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid and indomethacin in addition to antihistamines can be used to alleviate symptoms more than improving the actual lesions (Lotti et al., 1998).
Immunosuppressive agents, such as azathioprine (50-200 mg/day), cyclophosphamide (2mg/kg/day or as monthly intravenous pulse), methotrexate (10-25 mg/week), and cyclosporine (3-5mg/kg/ day) have anecdotal evidence showing effectiveness in patients with a rapidly progressing course and systemic involvement that is controlled with cor-ticosteroids (Jorizzo et al., 1988; Lynch, 1988; Habif, 1990; Lotti, 1991; Stadler and Ruszczak, 1995; Lotti et al., 1996; Comacchi et al., 1998a).
The mode of action of immunoglobulin is complex involving modulation of the expression and function of Fc receptors, interference with the activation of complement and the cytokine network, provision of anti-idiotypic antibodies, and effects on the activation, differentiation, and effector functions of T- cells and B- cells. Currently only case reports are available to support its use in severe and refractory cases of CSVV (Mathieson et al., 1990; Ong and Benson, 2000).
The potential use of TNF-a inhibitors in systemic vasculitides is currently at the forefront of new treatment options available. TNF-a is known to play a crucial role in the establishment and maintenance of inflammation in multiple autoimmune and nonautoimmune disorders. A number of large placebo-controlled trials have shown TNF-a blockers as effective and well-tolerated treatment options in patients with Crohn's disease, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis. So far, most case reports and case series have suggested favorable results with TNF-a inhibitor therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), dermato- and polymyositis, giant cell arteritis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, and microscopic polyangiitis (Lamprecht, 2005). Results of randomized, placebo-controlled trials are eagerly awaited for several connective tissue diseases and systemic vasculitides.

Do I Need a Wheelchair?
If getting around is becoming a big problem for you, a wheelchair may be the best solution for you on a long-term basis. Not everyone is eligible for a wheelchair though - in most cases, you need to be temporarily or permanently disabled to qualify for one through the NHS Wheelchair Service (rather than be suffering from age-related mobility problems). However, the NHS Wheelchair Service will determine if you qualify.
Who is eligible?
In the majority of cases, to go through the NHS Wheelchair Service, you need to fulfil one of the following criteria:
- You have a long-term disability or other condition that has been affecting you for at least six months, and which makes walking extremely difficult
- You have a short-term disability that makes walking difficult
Getting a wheelchair through the NHS Wheelchair Service
Most of the NHS Wheelchair Services are overseen by local authorities, and the way in which their services are run tends to differ according to the local authority in question. Because of this, the criteria for eligible for a wheelchair isn't necessarily consistent across all NHS Wheelchair Services.
If you're eligible for a powered or manual wheelchair through the NHS Wheelchair Service, you need to be referred to the service, either by yourself or by a medical professional such as a doctor, hospital, consultant, physiotherapist or occupational therapist. They will review your referral and assess your individual needs and circumstances to make sure that firstly, your circumstances warrant being allocated a wheelchair, and that secondly, that you're given a chair that suits your personal circumstances or a voucher that covers some of the cost.
The person that made your referral should hear back around a week later. Assessments usually take place between two and four weeks after referral. These will usually take place at an NHS Wheelchair Service centre. If you're struggling to reach the centre, your local social services department can help you with getting there. However, it's worth pointing out that assessments won't always be conducted, as a lot depends on the budget for that particular year. Repairs and maintenance of your wheelchair should also be discussed.
The timescale for receiving your wheelchair varies according to the type of wheelchair and where it is ordered from. It can take anything from two weeks to several months. The NHS Wheelchair Service should be able to advise on this after your assessment. Your wheelchair will be formally given to you, either in your own home or at an NHS Wheelchair Service centre. At this point, you'll be given a full safety briefing, plus information about insurance, repairs and maintenance.
If your circumstances change (for example, if your condition begins to get worse), a re-assessment can be arranged.
Getting a wheelchair by yourself
It's possible to hire or buy your own wheelchair without going through the NHS Wheelchair Service, but this will only be a bog-standard wheelchair that isn't suited to your personal needs. The main benefit of using the NHS Wheelchair Service is the individual assessment (that usually takes place) to decide which type of wheelchair will work best for you.

Maoist commander who helped plan 2017 Sukma attack on CRPF jawans surrenders before Chhattisgarh Police
Sudhir Korsa aka Prakash, a Maoist platoon commander, who was a part of the dreaded Battalion-1 of the banned CPI (Maoist), and who helped plan the 2017 Sukma attack on CRPF jawans, surrendered before the Chhattisgarh Police in Bijapur district on Wednesday
Sudhir Korsa aka Prakash, a Maoist commander, who was a part of the dreaded Battalion-1 of the banned CPI (Maoist) surrendered before Chhattisgarh Police on Wednesday
According to Chhattisgarh Police, Korsa, 31, was involved in the Burkapal incident in Sukma in 2017, in which 24 CRPF jawans were killed
Korsa, who surrendered before the Bijapur district police of Chhattisgarh, carried a prize of Rs 8 lakh on his head
The police considers his surrender important as Battalion-1 of the PLGA in the Dandakaranya region in Bastar, is headed by Madvi Hidma, who is also the chief of Central Military Commission of CPI (Maoist)
Korsa was also part of the Rani Bodli incident (2007) in Bastar, one of the worst Maoist attacks, in which 55 police personnel were killed
Sudhir Korsa aka Prakash, a Maoist platoon commander, who was a part of the dreaded Battalion-1 of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) in Chhattisgarh’s Bastar region surrendered before the Chhattisgarh Police on Wednesday.
According to Chhattisgarh Police, Korsa, 31, was involved in the Burkapal incident in Sukma in 2017, in which 24 CRPF jawans were killed.
A commander of Platoon-2 of the People’s Liberation Guerilla Army's (PLGA) Battalion-1, Korsa surrendered before the Bijapur district police of Chhattisgarh. He carried a prize of Rs 8 lakh on his head.
Terming Korsa's surrender as a success of the Chhattisgarh government’s anti-Maoist operation and rehabilitation policy, the police claimed that Korsa surrendered after getting disillusioned with the ultra-Left ideology.
“Now a large number of Naxals (and Maoists) are surrendering as they have gotten frustrated with the false Maoist ideology of bringing a revolution through violence. Instead, they are opting for the government’s rehabilitation policy in order to get back to the mainstream. Besides cash of Rs 10,000, Korsa will also get other benefits mentioned in the rehabilitation policy,” n official belonging to Anti-Naxal Operations cell of Chhattisgarh Police told Firstpost.
The police also considers Korsa's surrender important as Battalion-1 of the PLGA, the military wing of the CPI (Maoist) in the Dandakaranya region in Bastar, is headed by Madvi Hidma, who is also the chief of Central Military Commission of CPI (Maoist).
PLGA is controlled by the Central Military Commission of the banned outfit.
Who’s Sudhir Korsa?
Korsa, a resident of Mankeli village in the Maoist-hit Bijapur district, joined the Darbha Valley (Darbha Ghati) Committee of the CPI (Maoist) in 2005.
The status of a Maoist in the organisation is determined by the weapon he/she carries, besides the post. In the case of Korsa, the police said that he possessed an AK 47 — which is usually given to commanders and senior members of the armed cadre.
According to Chhattisgarh Police, there are several cases registered against Korsa for his alleged involvement in nine Maoist incidents in Chhattisgarh and Odisha.
Among the nine incidents in which Korsa is allegedly involved Rani Bodli incident (2007), Maoist attack at Nayagarh and on police line in Odisha (2008), looting of explosives at Koraput in Odisha (2009), Tadmetla incident in Sukma (2010) and Burkapal attack in Sukma (2017) are the major ones, in which security force personnel and innocent tribals lost their lives.
Besides leading Platoon-2, Korsa had also been heading the Mobile Political School (MOPOS) of the CPI (Maoist) since 2013.
“The last big incident in which Korsa was involved was the Burkapal attack in 2017 (also known as the Sukma attack). He was a part of the reconnaissance and planning team,” the official said.
In the Burkapal incident in Sukma district, which took place in April 2017, 25 jawans of the 74 Battalion of the CRPF lost their lives. The Rani Bodli incident (2007) in Bastar is one of the worst Maoist attacks in which 55 police personnel were killed.

I’ve been getting really comfortable in my own skin for a while now. I’m less and less challenged by my own nakedness, and I’m talking bodily here. Boldly and baldly stated, I like the way I look naked. I’m not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I’m almost 50, I’ve had four kids, no cosmetic surgeries of any kind, and yet, I look good, and, more importantly, I feel even better.
I’m not going to lie, yoga has made me a lot leaner and stronger in mind, body and spirit. I’m very grateful for it. But it goes beyond that; there’s been a significant shift in me and the way in which I really see myself that has allowed me to embrace my own desire to be naked. I know of no other way to state it than I want to reveal myself to myself completely and unabashedly in this open and unguarded fashion.
And this positive acceptance of me as me in my body extends itself, quite obviously, to the way in which I approach and engage in all of the relationships in my life. I’m not worried about being naked in any of them either. I’m comfortable with my thoughts and feelings. I know that I come from a sincere and loving place and the desire to express that care and compassion is right at the surface for me. I want people in my life to see it and experience it as an earnest reaching out, an eagerness to expand and connect; a desire to transform in love.
It’s a muscle I work, this active participation in a genuine acceptance of my own nakedness. I lie around naked on the cruise liner when I’m alone at night (reads a little kinky, I know, it honestly isn’t)! I try to look people in the eye and tell them how I feel, especially those people that I care about, every single day. I also pray and meditate daily; and I’m even sometimes naked when I do that as well! (All four of my kids have completely left the building now).
It’s all more than ok. In fact, being naked, or rather, being me in my own nakedness has proven to be the most profound spiritual practice I have cultivated in a long long time. I plan on continuing it as I genuinely feel freer, lighter even, and in some strange way able to radiate my own incandescent aura as a result of my surrender to it.
So, go on, give it a try. It can change your life; it definitely has mine, for the way way better. I highly recommend it!

Following is a guest post by award-winning author, Theresa Linden:
Catholic teen fiction is different from secular fiction because its themes, characters, conflict and/or story ideas come from and/or point to some aspect of truth given by Christ to the Church. While characters face temptations and challenges, like we all do, the message of where to find happiness is clear. Catholic teen fiction shows the beauty of morality and virtue in a fallen world. Finally, it not only entertains but lifts a reader’s thoughts to something greater than this world can ever offer.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church begins, “God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church” (CCC p.1).
That is so amazing! God is always drawing close to us and calling us to seek him, know him, and love him. Everyone. Me, you, every member of your family, all your friends, fellow students, and coworkers . . . everyone! Even the people who don’t believe in him or who have turned away from him.
God is always calling, but are we listening?
The voice of the culture is loud. Life is distracting. And crosses and challenges often blind us to the truth. We have responsibilities, goals, and dreams. And sometimes we develop habits or behaviors that speak louder than the still, small voice of God.
That is why we need Catholic teen fiction!
Catholic fiction can help refresh our minds and renew our vision. It can help us refocus on faith amidst the distractions of life and point us to God’s plan for our happiness. It can spark our imagination and open our hearts to life-changing spiritual truths. It can delve into things we can all relate to: human weakness and misery, struggle for redemption, and the awesomeness of unmerited grace. Fictional characters and storylines can help us grasp powerful truths.
The theme of Roland West, Loner, the first in the West Brothers series, is that you are never alone. You belong to the Mystical Body of Christ. All Christians are your brothers and sisters. And so are the saints in heaven. This story sheds light on the meaning and power of the Communion of Saints.
The second book in this series, Life-Changing Love, addresses relationship issues that teens face. With Saint John Paul II’s “Theology of the Body” weaved into the story, it challenges the culture’s views and shows the beauty of the Church’s teachings on love. We were, after all, made for love!
Battle for His Soul, the third book in the West Brother series, unfolds in the spiritual realm. Readers get to see the spiritual battle going on around Jarret West and the power of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
Standing Strong, the fourth book in this series, comes out October 4th. This story picks up where Battle for His Soul left off.
“Standing Strong is a beautiful testament to how God works—in the whispers, in the quiet moments, in the gentle guidance of our hearts. It’s a reminder that Jesus is with us in ways we may never understand, and that, if we allow it, the Holy Spirit will give us the strength to stand strong for God!” ~Lisa Mayer, author of The Aletheian Journeys Series
Catholic teen fiction comes in a variety of genres. You can learn about several Catholic Teen fiction authors and books on CatholicTeenBooks.com

In the year of the pandemic, at-home bread baking was king. There’s no denying that. Why would you want to? A nice sour dough loaf can go a long way to knocking down the depression of living in lockdown. But as the endless binge of streaming media went on and on and on, people also returned to poetry, those most tenacious and misunderstood mountains of the written arts range. And so poetry, now, is ready to redeem its seat atop of the great Mount Writing, thriving as theaters and music halls and museums and ballet companies all have been shuttered by the pandemic rampaging across planet. Sometimes a cool couplet of Anne Sexton, Ted Berrigan or Percy Bysshe Shelley is just what the doctor ordered.
Following along that thread, the young African American poet Amanda Gorman saw her popularity soar after her poetry recitation at President Biden’s inauguration, celebrating a new humanistic political era. Marianne Faithfull’s forthcoming spoken word album, She Walks in Beauty, is a commemoration of the Romantic poets and utilizes Nick Cave’s not-so-secret musical weapon, Warren Ellis, to provide much of the aural backdrop. The LA Times even corralled Courtney Love to help hype Faithfull’s newest issue. Rolling Stone devoted frontpage space on its website to the once whispery London chanteuse’s poetic recitations. Poetry is once again king. Long live the king! But also, don’t forget the sour dough!
It should come as no real surprise to discover that poetry lays at the heart of XI’s debut release, XI EP. XI is a multimedia onslaught of poetry, videos and music, with the visuals and lyrical work handled by Reid Wilkie and the music handled by Eddie Hultén. With Hultén based in Stockholm and Wilkie stationed in Los Angeles, and an international health crisis closing borders and minds, that this piece sounds so defiantly united is perhaps its greatest charm, though all of the actual music was recorded together in Hultén’s studio in Stockholm. “I travelled to Stockholm a number of times during 2019,” Wilkie says in a short email interview. “We recorded nine tracks in Eddie’s recording studio, in person, together. Then we selected what to move forward with.” Wilkie explained that for two of those tracks, “Seven Sisters” and “Contradiction of Self,” Hultén had most of the music in place and played it back while Wilkie recorded her vocals.
For his side of the process, Hultén went at it with agility and instinct. “Woman,” he says, was created in one take, “just pure improvisation.” While Hultén cites Desert Sessions, Björk and DJ Shadow as influences, there is the unmistakable trace of bass-hardened soul in XI’s music. It is Hultén’s Hagström bass that drives that sound.
These songs live in a distinctive but not identical space. They gather together like relatives in matching holiday sweaters at a party. And like any worthwhile holiday soirée, there’s going to be a couple of dark moments, Hultén’s music fends off any disfunction by stranding their shared musical DNA throughout the mix. In different hands, the sound might be too varied, or even too self-involved. Because XI’s unique collaborative element is separated by space and more space (Stockholm to Los Angeles, figuratively and literally) there’s less of a push to explore a separate galaxy with each track.
But because of this rising movement of poetical returns, it’s an interesting gesture, to fix Wilkie’s spoken word to this highly danceable slab of sound. Historically, poetry recordings backed with music have fast fallen out of favor. So here’s a quick refresher on some of the artier poetry/musical mashups of the last 40 years.
The poet John Giorno died the last October before the pandemic at 82. Across his broad career in the arts, Giorno chartered a poetic tributary of Andy Warhol’s artistic river. Giorno was a deft convivial marker of great moments in poetry that wouldn’t have happened had he not loved the idiom. Responsible for Giorno Poetry Systems, a label that released poetry and music, often combined together, it also became a collective of artists, writers and musicians from the mid 60s onward, each primordially dedicated to the poetry/music mashup Giorno’s platform sought to deliver.
“Seven Sisters,” by XI
Two recordings made an impact on the indie scene, and these recordings still remain important to this day. First up is the William S. Burroughs/ Giorno/ Laurie Anderson collaboration, You’re the Guy I Want to Share My Money With, a dizzying affair of words and musical skronk that’s as disjointed as it is impactful. Next is the label’s 1987 compilation of poets and alternative acts, Smack My Crack, featuring The Butthole Surfers, Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Blondie’s Chris Stein among its acts. Each one captured an unexpected fanbase, delivering musical scores created to embellish the written word, rather than vice versa. Woven into XI’s heritage are the threads of Giorno and his merry band of poetic instigators.
Also influenced by the Giorno Poetry Systems releases, Baltimore’s Daniel Higgs shifted from his first band into the poetic refinement of the Dischord band, Lungfish. Higgs has bona fide poetic credentials, too. His writing is collected in The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. While he’s a more defined yelper of song, there is a relative writerly strand that collects Wilkie’s poetic commands to Higgs’s outré erudition. That is not to say XI sounds like Lungfish or Laurie Anderson or John Giorno or William S. Burroughs. What connection there may be lays entrenched in the concept.
Hultén’s music bangs a different hammer than Lungfish’s alternapoetremo, and Wilkie attaches her universal concord to more demanding postulations. And then there’s this: you simply cannot deny the regiment of dance XI brings to their music. Because of that, some unfamiliar stones are overturned. I never found myself dancing to Laurie Anderson, but I could see that someone might. There’s no might-dance-to-it found on XI EP. You play these songs and they make you move. That’s the policy and it is a successful one.
Sometimes, in poetic deliveries, there’s something I refer to as ‘the language of dog whines.’ That’s the space where the poet becomes trapped in a portal of inscrutability. Whatever they’re attempting to say essentially becomes the sound of a whining dog. You know the emotion, but the words are lost in the pile up. Too inscrutable, you become a whining dog.
Wilkie has none of the dog whine here. The writing is crisp, the delivery compelling. She doesn’t overstep her skill, and that leaves the listener wanting more of it. If the emotional cortex isn’t as widely beamed by vocal gymnastics, it’s important to note two things.
- The history of poetry/music mashups relies on the mastery of the word rather than the raw emotionalism of La Bohème. With Hultén’s thumping cadence rumbling throughout, an undercurrent of emotion is tacked onto Wilkie’s delivery, even as it draws the listener to the well at the dark end of her cascade.
- Madonna’s vocal range isn’t very wide. But we all know the words to “Holiday.”
While Madonna’s dance music lives in a universe of starry pop, Wilkie’s lyrical poems are often times starless. Still, they arrive sounding equally as luxuriant as Madge’s (likely that Hagström bass sound).
We are no longer prisoners
We are no longer tortured
By the wealth
Mistook for comfort
Disguised as respect.
We are no longer angry
At the forced wind of change
Taken as a command over top of Hultén’s insistent tide of cow bells, bass and sinewy guitars in the lead-off song, “Contradiction of Self,” Wilkie’s lyrical psyche resolves in a conceptual array that fashions anarcho-dance-funk into this deceptively hopeful idea — you get what you pay for, so stop paying for shit.
“Oil,” by XI
On “Oil” – a song originally released on Earth Day 2020 when, incredibly, the price of oil plunged to a negative $40 dollars a barrel on the global market – Wilkie’s autocratic optimism stretches most unmistakably into a full philosophical identity of its own.
In this time of instability
Let us not feed on stocks and shares
Let us not feed on dollars and Dow
Let us not feed on the decline of trade,
From the debt we owe
Call it gnomic elaboration. These thousand cuts of Wilkie’s tongue fit Hultén’s bullish groove in an unanticipated way. They offer a structurally euphoric ultimatum that wholly embraces the rebel spirit found in the English Punk scene of late 70s. The corporal but cosmopolitan funk behind it offers something sinister and something chic. It’s class, but it’s also art. And you can boogie down to it.
XI’s dual creative team may best be represented by “Woman,” the EPs closing track. It is a fitting choice because of its connective lyrical identity with the first two songs. Hultén flexes a slightly different muscle, and because of that it produces a heady dose of Wilkie’s sentiment. Remember, this one was an impromptu in-studio performance between the duo. Near the end of the song (and the EP for that matter), Wilkie spells out the mysticism that overtakes the heart of her darkness.
Suspended under the light
Of the diamond encrusted
Thought, an engraved
Impression laces reality
Unto a sonic ground
This is not Laurie Anderson. This is not Björk. This is not Giorno’s Poetry Systems. This isn’t Lou Reed penning poetic odes to his beloved teacher, Delmore Schwartz. XI is a true hydra. You cut it into pieces and it grows whole again. Because of that, the collection tugs each member into a place they might not have gotten to without the other. So then, what exactly is this XI EP? It’s the sound that explains how true pleasure comes only with a clear conscience. To weave that kind of sentiment into excessively danceable jams is an art form all its own. That’s what this is.

The headlines of mainstream Nigerian newspapers for Wednesday, February 12, are focused on Father Matthew Kukah's comment on President Muhammadu Buhari's administration, Amotekun security outfit, among others.
The Punch reports that the Bishop of Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Matthew Kukah, on Tuesday, February 11, came hard on the Buhari-led administration.
The cleric after doing an analysis of Buhari's government said that the president has elevated tribalism over national interest and that this can be mostly seen in the military where he prefers a northerner whenever he appoints for a strategic position.
The Guardian reports that the bishop and the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, on Tuesday, February 11, went into a heated argument over the refusal of Buhari to declare his asset.
The incident happened at the public launch of a book titled Farida Waziri: One Step Ahead - Life as a Spy, Detective, and Anti-Graft Czar.
The book was written by the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Farida Waziri.
The Nation reports that the details properly outlining the way the southwest security initiative, Amotekun, will operate surfaced.
The same newspaper said it got the information from the draft bill that is presently before the state legislatures as they work out how the scheme will operate across the southwest.
The document said that the daily tasks of Amotekun will be supervised by corps commanders who shall be appointed by the governor.
Another thing to note, among others, is that the scheme will work as a separate entity, different from the earlier planned regional structure.
ThisDay reports that the chief of army staff, Lt Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai, said defeated members of Boko Haram are now scattered all over the country.
Speaking in an interview, he said that after overcoming insurgency, the military is now faced with another problem called terrorism.
Among the locations he said members of the insurgent group are now is Lagos, adding that more of them are in the northeast.
Vanguard reports that the nation's polity became more tensed on Tuesday, February 11, as details showed that a baby and a student of the University of Maiduguri were among those killed in an ambush by Boko Haram on Sunday, February 9.
The victims were also burnt beyond recognition as the baby's mother was defiled by the terrorist group before they were set on fire.
