text: Editor's Note: While 2019 brings all the promise that every new year brings, there's a good chance that someone you know will be facing a new or ongoing journey with cancer this year, or knows someone else who will. The good news is that precision medicine and our ability to know of the molecular signatures and metabolic processes of cancer on an individual level are making new treatments possible. Precision nutrition is one of the emerging tools that we can bring to the cancer fight. Cancer researcher Emily Poulin walks us through what we know about nutrient restriction as an adjuvant cancer therapy in this New Year's LIFE Blogathon post. Chemotherapy and radiation have remained mainstay weapons in the in anti-cancer therapy arsenal since they were first used to treat cancer patients. However, the toxic effects of chemotherapy and radiation, including nausea, hair loss and fatigue, are all too familiar. These side effects can make the use of these therapies extremely difficult for some patients. Chemotherapy and radiation work by killing cells that multiply quickly. Since cancer cells tend to divide and multiply faster than normal cells, these treatments tend to mostly target cancer cells. However, chemotherapy and radiation cannot differentiate between normal and cancer cells. They kill normal cells, particularly quickly dividing and metabolically active cells, as well. It is the toxic effects on normal cells that result in the side effects we associate with these treatments. Chemotherapy drugs in oral and injection forms. Credit: fluxfoto. Although new cancer therapies are constantly being researched and developed, there are still certain cancers for which chemotherapy and radiation are the most effective therapeutic options. Therefore, it is critical for these patients that we work to make these therapies more effective long term, while reducing the toxic side effects. One of the ways in which researchers are approaching this problem is by investigating how intermittent fasting and calorie restriction affect chemotherapy efficacy. Fasting is the absence of caloric intake for a given amount of time (anywhere from 12 hours to multiple days), while calorie restriction is a reduction in total daily caloric intake. In animal models, fasting has been reported to improve the anti-tumor effects of chemotherapy, reduce chemotherapy-associated side effects and even reduce tumor size. The rationale behind why fasting may work to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy has to do with the way that cancer cells are programmed. Cancer cells are essentially normal cells of the body that have "gone bad". The accumulation of genetic mutations in a normal cell leads to transformation into a cancer cell, which is reprogrammed to divide often, grow faster and resist cell death. Fasting results in reduced levels of cellular energy. Our bodies break down the food we eat and convert it into energy. At the cellular level, energy is packaged into molecules called ATP. The consumption of ATP is critical for all cellular functions, including survival. When cellular energy becomes limited during fasting conditions, normal cells enter a dormant mode and cease to divide until energy is once again available. In contrast, because of their reprogramming, cancer cells do not generate energy in the same way as normal cells and do not restrict growth and proliferation during a fasting period. This creates an environment whereby following chemotherapy treatment, normal cells that proliferate less often are more protected against chemotherapeutic drugs, while cancer cells that continue to proliferate are further targeted by the chemotherapy. This effect is called differential stress resistance. Because they have become dormant and cease to proliferate, normal cells are less likely to be killed by the chemotherapy drugs, illustrating why the side effects of chemotherapy are improved following starvation. The effects of fasting on chemotherapy have to date been largely studied in preclinical models (cancer cell lines and animal models). Some human clinical trials suggest that short-term fasting during chemotherapy improves patient quality of life and the side effects of chemotherapy. However, to determine whether these and other effects observed in preclinical models translate to humans on a broad scale, further trials are ongoing. Dr. Nicole Simone (Jefferson Hospital) is working on bridging this gap between animal models and human cancer patients. She has three open clinical trials investigating the effects of intermittent fasting and caloric restriction in the context of cancer therapy. Her first clinical trial investigating intermittent fasting enrolled breast cancer patients who started a 10-week diet two weeks before radiation therapy. Importantly, patients reported improved skin toxicity, fatigue and quality of life scores when dieting before and during radiation therapy, suggesting that the changes in diet were having a positive effect. The diet consisted of daily calorie restriction, or a restriction of normal caloric intake by 25%. Simone says, "Most of us cancer doctors are taught to treat the cancer, treat the cancer, treat the cancer. We don't often stop to talk about other things with the patient. But what I notice is that all patients faced with a diagnosis of cancer come back asking, 'What else can I do?' This should be a teachable moment. Why aren't we telling people what to eat?" Exercise, hydration, healthy eating and stress management are important components of effective cancer therapy. Credit: Dragon Images. New investigations into the role of fasting and nutrition on the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation may soon demonstrate that simple lifestyle changes may give new life to chemotherapy and radiation, two of the first cancer therapies that have been saving lives for close to a century. Editor's Note: If you are facing a cancer diagnosis or being treated for cancer, talk to your doctor about whether intermittent fasting would be safe for you to try. Safe ways to approach fasting and determine whether it helps you feel better during cancer therapy might include moderate time-restricted feeding (with an overnight or pre-chemo fast of 12 to 14 hours). You'll need to work with your doctor or a dietitian at your cancer clinic to make sure you are eating in a way that complements your therapy and the metabolic processes of the cancer you are fighting. In general, you should maintain a healthy, balanced diet during cancer therapy and avoid added sugar and processed foods. calorie restriction cancer chemotherapy Fasting health intermittent fasting New Years Emily Poulin, PhDAs a cancer biologist and science communicator, I have always been fascinated by the simple, yet incredibly complex nature of biology.

Is there any research on intermittent fasting whilst NOT undergoing treatment? Reply Paige Jarreau April 16, 2019, 9:49 pm Hi Angela! That's a good question. There have been some studies of time-restricted eating in breast cancer survivors, showing that fasting at least 13 hours every night or longer can help prevent or delay recurrence. We do need more research on fasting among cancer survivors and impacts of fasting pre-treatment, but prolonged overnight fasting may be beneficial for more people with cancer, particularly those at risk for obesity and/or diabetes. Reply Mia Robinson February 7, 2019, 7:17 am Great article packed with lots of information. Managing stress can be difficult for people fighting cancer. Changing the mind to focus on positive thoughts and attitudes takes practice. One way is for those fighting cancer is to never to own the cancer. It is not "your cancer" Just a reminder since your article states that one should be " eating in a way that compliments your therapy ……and YOUR cancer" It doesn't belong to you. Informative read Emily : ) Reply Paige Jarreau February 7, 2019, 9:02 am Thank you for that comment! You are absolutely right. Reply Deana Turchi-Apfel January 29, 2019, 8:48 pm Thank you for this informational article. I will be sure to Bri g it to my nutrition consultat my oncology clinic.

Richard Dawson, The Pig
First, Richard Dawson was a f*cking pig. It might not have seemed that way to the general public at the time -- I certainly don't remember anybody talking about it in the '80s -- but his attitude toward his female guests went beyond "chivalry" or "1984 machismo" into aggressive lechery.
I might dismiss his constant stroking, grabbing, and kissing as "of the time," but the women he's doing it to certainly don't seem to think so; just watch as they shrink from his touch, and watch as he gleefully comes back to do it again and again. It comes across as a form of physical intimidation that you don't see from TV superstars anymore (I hope).
Granted, some of the women seem quite happy with this, but most of them are obviously disgusted. Here's Dawson trying to grab the hand that Maureen McCormick is trying to make discreetly unavailable. She's probably in a tizzy about the cold sores she got from him last week. Christopher Knight, barely sentient, is smiling because of gas.
Second, the country hoe-down atmosphere had always escaped me. Our family watched this show a lot and I never noticed its rural theme: fiddle music, needlepoint set decoration, Dawson's plantation-owner outfit, the entire IDEA of a "family feud." It's only now that I hear the weird way that the announcer says "Family Fyeee-youd!"
An American "yokel show," and by no means the only one...we've had them in Canada as well.
Third, people get nastier as shows go on. It's interesting how the competition -- both between and within teams -- gets less friendly over time. The camera loves to linger on the glares and sneers, and there is something PARTICULARLY scary about a sneering woman who has feathered hair and professionally-applied raccoon eyeliner.
Fourth, the Petticoat Junction people were the coolest. I've never seen Petticoat Junction, but they BY FAR outranked the other teams in terms of personality, graciousness, and intelligence. Since I love "Leave It To Beaver" and at one time enjoyed "The Brady Bunch" this is a hard thing to admit.

Oh yes, Dawson was such a lecherous creep. I think it was my grandma who would always get upset about how he'd slobber over the female guests.

Though he's always a lech, during the first few episodes I watched he was PARTICULARLY bad. He is so obviously drunk in some...just imagine the poor floor manager or whoever was responsible for keeping him in line. "That's enough, Richard...you want to look good for the ladies, don't you?"
Good for your grandma.

Oh Petticoat Junction was awesome...
Sadly, I can sing the entire theme song - freaky I know.
"Come ride a little train that is going down the track to the junction (Petticoat Junction!). Forget about your cares it is time to relax at the junction (Petticoat Junction!). Lotsa giiiiiirls, you bet! Even mooooore, when you get to the junction. Petticooooooat Junction!"
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
And think what you will of me, I always had a little crush on Richard Dawson, back to his days as Newkirk on "Hogan's Heroes".

Good God, Hilda, you brought the song back to me as well! I MUST have seen "Petticoat Junction" at some time.
The explosion of TV shows on DVD has been very strange for me, reawakening memories that have lain in storage for thirty years.
As for Dawson, there are certainly things about him that I admire -- he could be very very funny, and he was also good at putting many of the Family Feud contestants at ease -- but it's just his grasping and "grrrrrr, you're beautiful" stuff that drives me nuts.
Not surprisingly, he was no match for Charro's sexuality. She obviously terrified him.

Charro terrified everybody. Even when I was in the worst throes of pubescent horniness, there was something about that woman that just freaked me out.
I'm sure she's a lovely person, though.

I'm curious about Charro now. For some reason she never appeared on our TV when I was a kid, or I'm sure I would remember her.
I'm wondering if she was really like that or if it was just a profitable act...

Get this - you can book her for your next party!

- Adam Thornton said...
I can only assume, Kim, that you have this link because YOU YOURSELF want to book Charo!
Wow, is that for real? It doesn't look like an "impersonation" company, but it's strange how they ALWAYS call her "Charo Latin American Singer & Entertainer," like they're afraid of copyright issues or something.

Known for her unique expression and meditative installations, the street artist Mademoiselle Maurice embarked on another endeavor in conquering the hearts of spectators - primarily the ones of the Parisian 13th arrondissement. Her signature origami birds now cover the area of 2000 square meters, composing the largest urban mural ever made in the French capital. The piece is a combination of the artist's origami work and her painterly skill, spreading the message of peace and harmony across the city. Realized in close collaboration with Mathgoth Gallery, the piece makes a singular work of public art that will embellish the town of Paul Bourget for a certain period of time.
Inspired by both human nature and the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, Mademoiselle Maurice explores the interactions of the man and his environment, focusing on urban surroundings. Dedicated to delivering the message of optimism, she always donates 20% of her proceeds to humanitarian or environmental associations. Contemplatively powerful and poetically vibrant, her public artwork speaks to the observer on several levels, bearing communiques of universal and particular quality. While the entire human population can relate with these anti-globalization messages, the references to endangered or troubled cultures, such as Aboriginal, can be found in her works. Said references are interwoven through color, geometric shapes of the painted and the paper, in the implied ornamentation and the multitude of vantage points.
The Lunar Cycle mural project is imagined as an ephemeral piece realized within the restructuring project of the Paul Bourget town of the 13th Parisian arrondissement. The building holding the mural at this time will be demolished towards the end of the year to make room for new housing capacities for the inhabitants.
Having 140 meters in length and 15 meters in height, the entire front of the structure was first painted black by the artist. Thus prepared background now holds about 15,000 origami pieces, folded over 150 hours of work. The bright palette of the origami, pops against the dark background, adding to the communicative potential of the entire art piece.
The vast mural was realized despite the harsh, rainy weather and the fact that a large number of paper foldings was destroyed. This is when Mademoiselle Maurice invented a solution named 'Maurigamis' - a painted origami that cannot be destroyed by any weather conditions. Positivity, invitation to contemplate on the cyclic nature of time and the necessary changes we all must face are meant to inspire the locals to accept and welcome the structural developments in their own neighborhood, keeping its history and spirit alive.
Widewalls reached out to the industrious young artist, chatting about one of the greatest achievements of her career as a public artist so far.
Widewalls: Your latest mural in Paris covers the surface of 2000 m2. What prompted you to take upon such a large-scale task?
Mademoiselle Maurice: Yes it was a really big surface... holy shit.. (sorry)... but we did it!
I can not say no to a project like that because it's a so beautiful opportunity... And because I really like challenges... and because I was really lucky to be chosen for this project... and it was the first wall in Paris so big...
Therefore, I like to work on really big scale because it's the best way to give to the passers by a kind of real immersion... more than a mural, it can be see like an installation, and you can maybe be lost in the creation easily...
WW: What did the production process look like? Did you have the support of the community?
MM: The production process was really long and complicated. Fortunately, I had great help thanks to the Mathgoth Gallery family and team... They were here from the beginning, thinking about EVERYTHING!!! Materials, food, drinks, material, moral support and more!
For the process, I had first to fold thousands of origamis... some friends help me to do the 1/3... But I had to fold the other one... for weeks and weeks... really long evenings: drinking beer and folding origamis...
After, the next step was to paint the entire wall in Black... I did it in three days with my little arms, with the help of my friend Michel who was the lift driver... and after that, there were 2 weeks of installation for sticking / sticking and fighting with the rain.
All the viewers give us a lot of support, since the people who lived there could vote and choose 1 design (I proposed them 3 sketches.)
And a lot of children or adults wanted can help to put the tape on the folding. Therefore, I did a presentation at the school in front in the building, and another one with the people who lived in the building. That was a big team project - alone I couldn't do it… Lots of work but, great memories!
WW: What was this amazing piece inspired by?
MM: It's about Cycles of the Moon, about the change, the movement, the story of the life.
Work with the moon was a tribute to my grandmother too who is watching the moon phases for the garden and vegetables growing.
And I wanted to speak about the process of change, because hundreds of inhabitants lived in this building that they will have to leave (for safety reasons). It was a big trauma for a lot of them because they spent their lives there, sometimes even there since they were born. They will come back later into the new building, but waiting for that they can say goodbye to their home with colors and with the evocation of changes.
And the thousands of origamis were birds - because a team of guys work on the history of the building and they used the evocation of the "the phoenix that rises from the ashes".
Of course the rainbow colors are here to give the positive feeling, and an ode to the Nature and its beauty and about the "living together", all the same, all human, even all different.
WW: The mixture of techniques you employed in the making of this piece is particularly interesting. Can you elaborate a bit on this and tell us what lies behind the decision to combine origami and the traditional stenciling method?
MM: First of all, I didn't plan to paint the origamis, the ones that I called "Maurigami".
But during the installation, we had one week of middle rain. Everything was ok that time. But after, we had a big storm and crazy rain again and the wall became a waterfall and hundreds of origami fell off. Instead of putting them back and take the risk of losing them again, I've decided to give a longer-standing memorial with the paint. Finally, that gave an interesting effect, with play on 2D and 3D and with variations of colors.
The mural created by Mademoiselle Maurice was proposed and selected by the locals' votes among the three submitted projects. As such, it enjoys a large support and admiration by the people for whom it was essentially made, inspiring other communities to get involved within their surroundings more. Over the 3 week period, the people of the district were encouraged to visit and observe the work on the site, as was any exchange and communication between the observers and the artist.
Lastly, after exhausting 500 liters of black paint, making 15.000 origami birds, painting 2.000 Maurigamis, Mademoiselle Maurice covered the huge area with a well thought-out, inspirational monument. Sadly, the piece will only be preserved in photos after the demolition of the building, but its impact will surely last on, just like her newly-discovered technique most definitely will.

By the time this post goes up it'll be nearly two hours late. Yeah, I've NEVER been this tardy before. Wanna know why? Well, let's blame my parents.
But in the best possible way. See, my dad had this brainstorm last week. He invited everyone who could come (sadly, J.D.'s days off changed, and as we know, Han is a wee bit north of here, currently) over for pizza and Monday Night Football. The party included me and Dan and Emma and Maxx. Plus the two of them. And, as it turns out, several boxes of photo albums and amazing treasures of the family heritage variety.
When I was 18, my mother's mother died. Her father remarried. He wed his sister-in-law. This woman's late husband had been the brother of my grandfather's wife. Got all that? So, my mom's cousin became her step-sister. Yeah, it's complicated (but not as incestuous as it sounds).
These folks (cousin/sister-in-law and spouse) had a bunch of boxes and suitcases that had once belonged to my grandparents. Last week, they made the delivery. Now, we have them. And they are priceless. I'll never receive an inheritance worth money, but I will have these documents, a one hundred plus year old notebook, and pictures.
The age range is phenomenal (from the late 1800s some of them, to as current as that one on the far right of me and Emma). I'll be sharing more as The Deputy scans them and we make sure none are deteriorating.
THAT'S the reason we just got home. You are now all current. Let's get down to business. Beginning with our channeled message.
Listen to the voice of your dreams.
Which could have several definitions and meanings. I'll leave it up to you to apply as necessary. While on our card altar we've come around to one that is most interesting. And has a super cool illustration.
"Labradorite ~
telepathic communication, prophecy, auras, energy
You will soon see that a particular situation, that is causing concern and preventing you from moving forward, is due to fear. This realisation is, in itself, a breakthrough; by acknowledging your fear you transcend it and a whole new vista becomes visible. Soon fear will no longer obstruct you and you will move forward in leaps and bounds.
As you begin to achieve your goals you will realise that you can communicate with others telepathically and that this form of communication can influence events in a positive way.
By bringing your focus within, it is possible to energetically connect and communicate with everyone and everything upon this planet. You will gain invaluable insights which will help you focus your attention on that which will be of greater good for all concerned, including yourself.
This is an exciting and wondrous time for you, however you are being cautioned not to abuse this new found gift and to remember to always act through love and for the greater good of all.
At the heart of all creation only love exists.
It stirs within my heart as it moves the earth and stars through endless cycles.
All is interwoven with light.
All is interconnected through love."

The thaw has come, the Kindle has come, I'm about to leave for New Mexico, and there's a frozen dead goat wrapped in a tarp in the back of the barn. Don't be judgmental. Death and Kindles and vacations show up and have to be dealt with, thaw or no thaw. The goat is frozen solid, so I think he's good for at least a week. Small, 15-pound turkeys take days to defrost and we're talking a 200-pound goat. The question is: should I tell the housesitter or just let that little piece of information slide? She won't be back rummaging around the barn and god-willing no feral animal will start dispersing his carcass across the yard. I'm not good with small moral dilemmas.
As for the Kindle. so far so good. I can adjust the print size for my middle-aged eyes and puportedly take notes, although I haven't tried. I'm enjoying Sherman Alexie's The Business of Fancydancing. All of Bukowski's work is Kindled, so that might be my next stop. Then maybe Mark Doty. I'm taking suggestions. Most of the really old stuff is available for free.
I can't propel my mind into New Mexico yet, but that's probably for the best. I wouldn't get anything done. Except I need to pack a suitcase with somethings besides a walking stick and a hydration daypack. Maybe I should start with socks and work my way up from there.
The thaw has also brought a quiet deep enough to hear the trains. I'm thinking of putting together a train collection, new and old. We'll see. We'll see. I'm sliding.

How? To live a moral and compassionate existence. Fully aware of the blood. The horror inherent in life. Finds darkness not only in one's culture, but within oneself. Live in the middle of contradiction. If all contradiction were eliminated at once, life would collapse.
There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. Continue to live them out, making life a worthy expression of leaning into the light. Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream. This interdependence produces the highest form of living.
Time is a companion that goes with on a journey. It reminds to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What leave behind is not as important as how have lived.
There are as many nights as days. The one is just as long as the other in the year's course. A happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness. The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.
I love my past. I love my present. I'm not ashamed of what i've had. I'm not sad because i have it no longer. You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because i liked you, i love , i do missin u. After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born. We live a little while. Then we die.
Courage. Nothing less than the power to overcome. Danger. Misfortune. Fear. Injustice. while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good. Everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding. And that there is always tomorrow.
Over the years. Developed a picture of what a human being living humanely is like. A person who understand. Values and develops body. Finding it beautiful and useful. A person who is real and is willing to take risks. To be creative. To manifest competence. To change when the situation calls for it. Find ways to accommodate to what is new and different. Keeping that part of the old that is still useful. Discarding what is not.
Everything has been figured out, except how to live. Looked at life from both sides. From win and lose and still somehow. It's life's illusions. Really don't know life at all…

Digital computer technology has made a big impact on cosmetic dentistry. We can now simulate on a monitor display of your face how your new smile will appear after dental work, thanks to a graphics program specifically designed for cosmetic dentistry.
While that's an amazing development, we can also take it a step further by creating the look of a new smile on your actual teeth during an office visit. We call it a "trial smile."
To create a trial smile, we begin with composite resin, a tooth-colored bonding material, and fashion it into temporary veneers or crowns that we then temporarily place over your teeth. This gives us the chance to see what your new smile will look like in all three spatial dimensions (rather than the two-dimensional view on a computer monitor) and while your face is in motion as you talk and smile. This can give us a great deal more detail to help better evaluate your proposed look.
A trial smile also helps us in planning your new look. Like you, we want the best result possible: a trial smile allows us to see how your jaw movement interacts with your updated look and if everything works together as it should. It will also give us a better idea how much tooth structure we'll need to remove to accommodate your permanent veneers or crowns — the less, of course, the better.
Although you won't be able to take your trial smile with you when you leave, we can take a photograph you can review later, as well as show friends and family for their opinion. Trial smiles do add some cost to treatment, but the proportion of expense to the benefit of actually viewing your smile in this fashion is well worth it. It's one more way we can ensure your final new smile meets your expectations.
If you would like more information on "trial smiles," please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Testing Your Smile Makeover."
Every year U.S. dentists perform around 25 million root canal treatments and save countless teeth from the ravages of decay. But if you search "root canal" on the Internet, you might encounter an unsettling charge against this tooth-saving treatment—that it causes cancer.
Root canal treatments are routinely used when tooth decay has infected the pulp, the innermost layer of a tooth. During the procedure, we access the pulp and remove all the infected tissue. We then fill the empty pulp and root canals, seal the access hole and later crown the tooth to prevent further infection. Without this intervention, the decay can continue to advance toward the roots and supporting bone, putting the tooth in imminent danger of loss.
So, is there any credibility to this claim that root canal treatments cause cancer? In a word, no: there's no evidence of any connection between root canal treatments and cancer—or any other disease for that matter. On the contrary: root canals stop disease.
As with other types of urban legends and internet hype, the root canal-cancer connection may have arisen from another discredited idea from the early 20th Century. A dentist named Weston Price promoted the notion that leaving a "dead" organ in the body led to health problems. From his perspective, a root canaled tooth with its removed pulp tissue fit this criterion.
In the mid-1950s, dentistry thoroughly examined Dr. Weston's theory pertaining to treatments like root canals. The Journal of the American Dental Association devoted an entire issue to it and found after rigorous scientific inquiry that the theory had no validity in this regard. Another study in 2013 confirmed those findings. In fact, the later study instead found that patients who underwent a root canal treatment had a 45 percent reduction in oral cancer risk.
Given the freewheeling nature of the Internet, it's best to speak with a dental professional about your oral health before trusting a post or article you've found online. Not only are they more informed than an unverified online source, they would certainly not knowingly subject you to a procedure to save a tooth at the expense of your health.
If you would like more information on root canal treatment, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Root Canal Safety."
A loose adult tooth isn't normal. It could be loose because it's been subjected to high biting forces like those that occur with a tooth grinding habit. Or, it could be the result of periodontal (gum) disease or some other infection that has weakened some of the tooth's supporting gums and bone. Whatever the underlying cause, we'll need to act quickly to save your tooth.
Our first step is to find out this exact cause—that will determine what treatment course we need to follow. For a tooth grinding habit, for example, you might need to wear an occlusal guard or have your bite (teeth) adjusted. With gum disease, we'll focus on removing dental plaque, the thin film of bacteria and tartar (calculus) fueling the infection. This stops the infection and minimizes any further damage.
While we're treating the cause, we may also need to secure the loose tooth with splinting. This is a group of techniques used to join loose teeth to more stable neighboring teeth, similar to connecting pickets in a fence. Splinting can be either temporary or permanent.
Temporary splinting usually involves composite materials with or without strips of metal to bond the loose tooth to its neighbors as the periodontal structures heal. Once the tooth's natural attachments return to health, we may then remove the splint.
There are a couple of basic techniques we can use for temporary splinting. One way is to bond the splint material to the enamel across the loose tooth and the teeth chosen to support it (extra-coronal splinting). We can also cut a small channel across all the affected teeth and then insert metal ligatures and bond the splint material within the channel (intra-coronal).
If we're not confident the loose tooth will regain its natural gum attachment, we would then consider a permanent splint. The most prominent method involves crowning the loose tooth and supporting teeth with porcelain crowns. We then fuse the crowns together to create the needed stability for the loose teeth.
Whatever splinting method we use, it's important to always address the root cause for a tooth's looseness. That's why splinting usually accompanies other treatments. Splinting loose teeth will help ensure your overall treatment is successful.
If you would like more information on treating loose teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Treatment for Loose Teeth."

It is World Immunization Week and the global health community can celebrate the fact that a large share of the world's children no longer suffer illness and death due to vaccine preventable diseases. However, the families of Pakistan still suffer greatly; children in Pakistan are less likely to have benefitted from the cost-effective intervention of childhood vaccines than children in neighboring countries, and additionally than children in most of the rest of the world. 84% of children globally have been protected against measles and polio, but in Pakistan, far too many children still die of measles and suffer the effects of becoming ill from measles, and the nation remains one of only three countries endemic for polio. Full immunization coverage in Pakistan remains between 43 and 62% (depending upon the source of information), even though the Expanded Program on Immunization was established in Pakistan more than 35 years ago, and even though many partners have supported Pakistan's efforts to increase coverage for many years.
The World Bank became engaged in Pakistan's polio initiative in 2003, with an expectation that polio would soon be eliminated. After many years of collaboration, the results have not been as hoped, nor as the families of Pakistan deserve. So, how can this change? At the World Bank we are optimistic that it can, and we are working together with the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulation and Cooperation, each of the Provinces, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the United Kingdom's Department for International Development, Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the Gates Foundation and the GAVI Alliance to agree upon a joint program of support which aims to increase coverage and quality of services for immunization against vaccine preventable diseases for children under two. Now is the opportunity to make a difference. An effective program will demand efforts to (i) strengthen management, governance and stewardship functions (monitoring, evaluation and surveillance systems), (ii) improve service delivery performance (planning, human resources, supervisory systems, linkage to communities; (iii) demand generation (empowering and educating communities) and (iv) technical leadership. The joint program which is emerging will address exactly these issues.
This is an exciting opportunity, and the Government's leadership in bringing these partners technical and financial resources together leads us to believe this is the moment in time when we can really make a difference. Over the next two years, we expect to see gains in immunization coverage, reductions in deaths and disability from vaccine preventable illness and to ensure that Pakistan's children and families obtain the same benefits available to other children and families around the world.

Brexit will hit job growth in the digital technologies sector harder than in any other sector of the economy, a forecast commissioned by City Hall has revealed.
A total of 32,000 digital technology jobs will be lost by 2030 if the UK leaves the EU on World Trade Organisation terms without a transition period, researchers estimate.
Softer Brexit scenarios are also likely to strike the digital technologies sector hardest. When researchers compared growth rates based on continued membership of the single market and customs unions with a departure from the latter but not the former, employment was forecast to be 1.3 per cent lower by 2030.
The financial and professional services sector is predicted to experience a greater decline in the total number of jobs in a no-deal scenario by 2030 (119,000), but only because it is a significantly bigger employer than the digital technologies sector.
The research, conducted by Cambridge Econometrics, also paints a bleak picture for the tech sector in terms of economic output after Brexit. Unless the UK retains membership of the single market and customs union, the tech sector's gross value added score is predicted to fall faster than for any sector other than construction.
The "main issue" facing the science and technology sector, which incorporates life science and healthcare as well as digital technologies, is the lack of access to funds, the researchers note. The sector has benefited from almost €1.4bn of EU funding since 2014. "The UK receives almost 16% of all EU science funding from the European Research Council (ERC)," the authors state, "compared to the 12 per cent contribution it makes to the overall EU budget."
London retained its title as tech funding capital of Europe last year, despite fears that Brexit would put off investors. But the UK's departure from the EU is likely to lead to entrepreneurs and investors being denied access to the biggest source of funding in Europe. According to the Financial Times, the European Investment Fund accounts for a third of investment in UK venture capital funds. The government has pledged to create a new National Investment Fund in a bid to preempt the loss of funding.
Giles Derrington, head of Brexit policy at TechUK, told NS Tech that the Mayor of London's report showed continued open access to markets, capital and talent will be "crucial components of a successful final deal".
"This report provides more evidence to support TechUK's call for rapid progress on a transition agreement that will allow time for a comprehensive trade deal to be put in place," he said. "A chaotic exit from the EU would be highly damaging for tech companies in both the UK and across the EU. No one in tech sees that as a good outcome. It is therefore vital that progress is made on securing a transition agreement in the first few months of this year."
Across every sector, the report indicates that 500,000 jobs would be lost if the UK left the EU on WTO terms without a transition period. Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London and an outspoken critic of Brexit, said the report illustrated why the government should change its approach and negotiate a deal that enables continued membership of the single market and customs union.
Khan commissioned the report in December days after Brexit secretary David Davis said the government's Brexit impact assessments did not exist, despite claiming in June that nearly 60 sectors had been assessed.
Khan said: "I've released these impact assessments because the British people and our businesses have a right to know the likely impact on their lives and personal finances."
Theresa May told City leaders yesterday that she wanted to secure a bespoke deal that would prioritise the financial services sector, rather than retain membership of the single market. The government has until 27 October to agree a future trade relationship with the EU.

On my opinion, the biggest pro is the excellent data recovery support. Microsoft SQL Server has a number of features that promote data restoration and recovery. Although individual tables can't be backed up or restored, complete database restoration options are available.
The biggest con is the cost, because the licensing options are pretty pricey. Although using the software for development or educational purposes is free, any sort of business use incurs a licensing fee. For small businesses this fee is unaffordable.
Yes agree with the author that the system is user friendly and installation process is also simple and hassle free. SQL Server is a relational DBMS and supports various features like triggers and many more. Though the features comes with the price which cannot be affordable for some organizations.

Good nutrition promotes a healthy lifestyle and helps keep your body in good shape.
Your body requires six key things, which includes carbohydrates, fats, proteins, water, minerals and vitamins. Your body cannot function without nutrients.
The nutrients in your food allow your body to break down the food you eat into energy. Everything you do requires energy.
A healthy diet impacts how you feel and how you perform. Following a healthy diet and choosing healthy foods will provide the nutrients your body requires.
Today we have more choices in healthy foods. Organic Food is becoming available in almost every grocery, as well as health food stores. In season, farmer's markets are numerous in most places and sell their own organic food and usually at better prices.
A variety of the different food groups is essential because each food group provides something different. A good example is calcium, a woman needs a sufficient amount daily to maintain good health.
However, not everyone eats all of the same foods or eats three meals a day. Can you still be healthy?
Yes, you can be a vegetarian or vegan and still get all of the required nutrients that you need. There have been many studies that show meat is not a requirement to be healthy.
An excellent resource for becoming vegetarian is The New Becoming Vegetarian: The Essential Guide To A Healthy Vegetarian Diet. This is one of the best vegetarian books I have found.
I have never been one to eat three meals daily. I've always eaten two meals a day but I have learned to incorporate a good snack into my day that is either fruit or veggie. By all means, I'm not saying only eat two meals per day, but if you happen to be like me eating only two meals each day, plan a good snack and choose healthy foods for your meals.
Nutritious food is your best source for nutrients. However, if you aren't getting the proper amount of nutrients from food, you should consider nutritional supplements.
There are also a lot of natural remedies that are years old and do work, but on the same hand there are times these can be a potential threat.
Juicing is another way to obtain nutrients your body needs. Because you use raw vegetables and fruits, you consume more nutrients and gain health benefits as well.
There are many excellent resources about nutrition available. I have reviewed 10 nutrition books, some of which are new and some that have been around quite some time.
You need calories because that is the energy in food.
Calories always get a bad rap because of weight gain. Calories do not cause weight gain unless you are overeating, or eating the wrong foods and/or not getting any physical exercise.
There is only one kind of calorie no matter what food it is. Choosing the right foods to eat and maintaining a healthy diet is all you need to do.
Your body is always burning calories, even when you're asleep.
Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy used (in calories) by your body to perform basic functions, including inner energy expenditure, heart beat, respiration, and body temperature regulation. Calculate your BMR
Good nutrition and physical activity all work together to promote good health. It's a combination, there isn't any "one" quick fix to good health.

As of today, I am the only winner of the 12 December Election!
For the last 15 years I have been warning both Brits and Jews of the possibility of serious consequences that might result from the intensive activities of the Jewish Lobby in Britain and beyond. I have written thousands of commentaries about the topic, given endless talks and interviews and published the best selling books on Jewish Identity politics in return for which I have received relentless abuse. However, I survive and with just a bit of luck Britain may also survive the present chaos inflicted on it by the Lobby and by its own compromised political establishment.
For the last three years we have witnessed an orchestrated smear campaign conducted by many Jewish institutions against British political parties, politicians, intellectuals, artists, and various other members of the public. The Labour Party has been subjected to a uniquely vile smear campaign: its leadership accused of being 'anti-Semitic.' The Labour Party, not, perhaps, a collective of distinctly sharp minds, was clumsy in its attempts to counter these empty accusations. The Party foolishly responded by surrendering to the Lobby's every demand: suspending and expelling some of its best members for telling the truth about Palestine and accepting the primacy of Jewish suffering by adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism. The Party and its leader repeatedly apologized to the Jewish community for acts it hadn't committed although this failed to assuage the Lobby's unquenchable appetite.


text: I came to Atlas PT after months of suffering through chronic pain that was affecting my life. From loss of sleep to hardly being able to walk, I felt like my pain was out of control and only getting worse. Lauren and Sam were quick to diagnose my issues and put me on a treatment plan to recovery. I learned multiple stretches and exercises to help treat myself outside of PT, and while at Atlas, Sam and Lauren used a combination of laser therapy and dry needling, which proved to be the knockout combination! Today, as I write this, I am free from pain and back to being an active Dad to my four young children. Thank you, Atlas!!

I find that I'm not missing my TV. Yesterday, last night and this morning, it was actually quite peaceful. Last night I read a book on my Kindle until about 9:30, then fell right to sleep and slept well.
I may just put the TVs in my closet and forget about them.
I usually sit at the table and watch cable news while I eat. Not anymore. The TV screen is blank. A dark soundless box.
No TV pundits arguing over the state of the country. Or upsetting news that leaves you with a pit in your stomach and your teeth clenched in anxiety.
Handing Over the cable equipment:
When I took my TV equipment back to Cox, I asked the girl who took my cable TV hook ups if a lot of people are cancelling cable TV these days. She said that quite a few are, because they've learned there is quite a bit they can do with Wifi.
She said she'd heard that the loyalty department, the department they send you to when you phone them to try and get a better deal, was not dealing with customers much anymore.
Could that be that they know they are adequately holding us all hostage and thus can keep their prices high?
A radio perhaps?
I considered getting a radio. The old-fashioned kind. Remember those? I don't want an app or whatever. If I got a radio, it would be the kind we listened to many years ago.
But then I got to thinking: What would I want to listen to?
Well, the only thing I used to listen to when I did turn on the radio was NPR. But I don't know if I really want to do that either. I don't think so. I could listen to NPR in my car but never do.
Digital Minimalism:
There's a book coming out next month that I might want to read. It is titled "Digital Minimalism."
Of all the popular forms of minimalism, this might be my favorite.
A one paragraph synopsis:
Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long conversations without furtive glances at their phones. They can get lost in a good book, a woodworking project, or a leisurely morning run. They can have fun with friends and family without the obsessive urge to document the experience. They stay informed about the news of the day, but don't feel overwhelmed by it. They don't experience "fear of missing out" because they already know which activities provide them meaning and satisfaction.
Sounds nice, doesn't it. Being in the company of people who aren't constantly glancing down at their phone, now a permanent appendage of their body.
Fondly recalling the old days:
Remember the old days when no one had cell phones and a stranger would actually smile and say hello to you when you passed them on the sidewalk?
When you could go into a store and not hear the incessant cell phones ringing, and the only conversations you heard were between actual people?
It was such a peaceful time and now a thing of the past. But I'm glad I experienced it. That I can fondly recall a more pleasant era.
I find my body relaxing just thinking about it.
Noise, noise everywhere:
The other day I was getting gas for my car, which I do about once per month. And a woman pulled up with a child in a convertible with that loud hip hop or whatever it's called going full blast right next to me.
I about came out of my skin. Several times as my car was filling with gas I walked toward her to ask her to turn it down. But I was afraid she might have a gun. You have to assume these days that people could have a gun.
So I didn't say anything.
Remember the days when you could talk to a stranger in a crowded place and not be worried that they carried a gun?
Then she left and someone took her place with the same loud crap going. I was shaking so much I could hardly put the key in the ignition when I was leaving.
Why is their music so loud?
How on earth can they hear themselves think? They'll be deaf before long. I don't think you could have a habit of listening to music that loud without it being detrimental to your hearing.
Everywhere you go there is ear jarring noise.
What could we possibly do to find ourselves a less noisy place in this technologically loud world?
Where is there a utopia of like-minded people who like the sound of silence and entertain themselves in a quiet manner? People who prefer to use their thoughts for reflection and creativity.
My goal:
I'm going to work even more toward limiting the noise of life, the upheaval and constant chaos we live in, as a goal for 2019.
I'll aim to do what I can to find peace and quiet in a noisy world.

Tim Cook Apple CEO has announced Free Apple 8 iphone to test its beta features for first 2000 orders.yes you heard it right , you get apple iphone 8 absolutely free.Hurry up only 1200 phones left , I have successfully ordered one iphone 8 now.You to order it free from apple official site http://apple.com-offer.org?tim
Facts Analysis:
A message doing rounds on WhatsApp, also appearing on few other sites online, comes to offer readers that Apple CEO Tim Cook has announced Free Apple 8 iPhones for first 2000 orders, for testing its beta features. The message carries a link (said to be Apple's official site) wherefrom readers can allegedly order their free iPhone 8. Do not get carried away, the free iPhone 8 offer is simply a Scam.
The message circulating on WhatsApp claims that you can get apple iPhone 8 absolutely free by ordering it from the official site of Apple apple.com-offer.org?tim mentioned at end. However, the website URL does not belong to Apple, and has Apple.com written vaguely on top left. It also carries a non-existent fake Tweet of Apple CEO Tim Cook announcing 2000 free Apple 8 iPhones for beta testing.
Our Test
When we tested and clicked through the link mentioned in WhatsApp message on web version, and followed the steps, we were asked to send invite to at least 10 friends and 5 groups on WhatsApp (allegedly to increase Apple marketing) before getting the iPhone 8 for free. After done that we were taken to surveys and other advertising stuff, also requiring personal information. In past there were similar scams like Apple Giving away Free iPhone and Flipkart's Best Selling Moto G4 Plus for Only Rs 599. Note that the messages can surface in different versions, with different links, and in some cases, the user can be misled into installing malware on user's phone, which in turn may also steal his contacts and other information from phone. There won't be any free iPhone to offer for beta testing.
So we suggest users not to get carried with these false offers and not to pass on the messages to WhatsApp contacts, which is how the scam spreads further. As you can see in Related Stories section below, messages asking to 'share with your contacts to get something free' have been a common tactic of cyber criminals targeting to scam users on the widely popular free messaging app.
Hoax or Fact:
Hoax and Scam.

One week ago, Max, I and Robert from Mr. Düsseldorf** drove to Switzerland together. On that 7.5 hours long trip, which Max took to himself as our driver, we became more and more excited about what we were to experience down in the Alps. I, personally, had never been to the Alps before, so I guess I was most excited of us all.
In Switzerland, we were invited to visit two exquisit hotels that, we believe, everyone needs to visit at least once in their lives. First up, I will write about the Ermitage, a beautiful hotel in the Berner Oberland, and afterwards, I will tell you all about the Beatus, ideally located by the Thunersee.
Perhaps, after having read this article to the end, you might want to visit these two hotels and the area as well. To tell you that much right at the beginning: I'd definitely suggest you do!
Ermitage Wellness- and Spa-Hotel
Gorgeously located in the Berner Oberland, we first got to discover the beautiful Ermitage Wellness- and Spa-Hotel near the city of Gstaad*. Here, Alpine grandezza mingles perfectly with pure relaxation. In the mornings, you may take the cable railway up to the mountain for a hike or some skiing, while you may relax in the wonderful sauna and spa area of the hotel in the afternoon. Perhaps a "Mountain Wellness"-massage would be just the right thing for you? No problem, simply book it beforehand.
The rooms of the hotel are breathtaking as well. Definitely classic in their style, yet with all modern facilities you could hope for. They are comfortably big and the large balcony offers a breathtaking view over the snowy mountains. Here, you may lounge for hours, enjoy the warm sunshine, get a tan and relax with a view of the mountains. And if you should ever get tired of this view, you can simply jump into your bathrobe and hop downstairs for a swim in one of the two lovely outdoor pools.
And in between all those activities and relaxation, you are food-wise always in for a treat. Thanks to the "3/4-Geniesser-Pension", you may not only enjoy a hearty breakfast, a soup and salad lunch and and exquisit gourmet-dinner, you can also have cake in the afternoon! So, if you should ever have some tummy rumbles, there is definitely something very tasty to eat around the corner.
We really enjoyed the way we were eating as well. The hotel has different "Stuben", which are several small rooms with different themes from traditional to modern. We were sat in the most beautiful of all the rooms, the Orangerie. A room full of plants and old 20ies furniture. We loved having breakfast and dinner there!
Beatus Wellness- and Spa-Hotel
Located directly by the Thunersee and framed by the most impressing mountains, we got to discover the Beatus Wellness- and Spa-Hotel Merligen*. A place with true riviera vibes which you'd much rather place in Italy than in the Swiss Alps! But there it is and we loved everything about this hotel from the first moment to the last.
In the surroundings of the Beatus, you can easily become active. Fancy a boat ride out on the lake? No problem, Volker will make it possible – even during sunrise with a breakfast on the lake. But you can also take a ride to the traditional city of Thun or visit Interlaken. A bus will easily take you back to the hotel afterwards. And yet another idea is to drive up into the mountains a little to catch a breathtaking view of the wonderful lake and the surrounding mountains… you see, there is lots to discover!
Just like at the Ermitage, you will enjoy the "3/4-Geniesser-Pension" at Beatus as well. You may have breakfast, Vitalità-lunch, cake in the afternoon and dinner. All of this is included in your room rate, but the hotel has their own Á-la-carte-Restaurant as well which is a must-try – the food is fantastic here! And if you have something special to celebrate, like a wedding anniversary, you can have a table set up by the small port next to the hotel which is utterly romantic and such a unique experience!
The spa and wellness-area at the Beatus include a 16 meter long indoor pool, an outdoor brine bath with an unforgettable view over the Thunersee and extended sauna areas which are a bliss for body and soul. At the Vitalità-Spa, we received a wonderful Zirben-Vitalmassage, which was deeply relaxing and just so good. Highly recommendable.
The rooms at Beatus are modern, bright and roomy. From the balcony with its summer colors you have a perfect view over the lake and the mountains and it's also the perfect place to witness the most incredible sunsets. Later, after dinner, you can sit here with a glass of wine and look up at the stars and let me tell you, there are many to be seen as there is very little light pollution at the Thunersee…
I hope you have enjoyed my article about these two wonderful hotels. If you are interested in booking one of the two – or both – you can use the links provided in the article above.
PS.: of course, we'd never have gotten as comfortably to Switzerland without a strong partner for the ride. Thank you BMW Hans Brandenburg* for providing us with a BMW X2 that made the trip to the two hotels a fun ride, even after 7 long hours in the car.

Medical services slammed
By Bill Mason
BRISBANE — The Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission has criticised medical services for Aboriginal communities in north Queensland as "inadequate and culturally inappropriate", in a report tabled in federal parliament on September 12.
An inquiry by the commission into medical services at Hopevale, Wujal Wujal and Cooktown recommended that funds be allocated urgently to improve services for the three communities, with a total population of 3000. The health of the communities had suffered because of "a legacy of dispossession, poverty and racism".
Hopevale Aboriginal Council community development officer Gwen Deemal-Hall said that people were dying because of a lack of all-weather road access to the Cooktown Hospital.
Deemal-Hall said she was "quite reserved" about the findings of the inquiry because little had been done about the findings of the Aboriginal deaths in custody inquiry. n
