Growing up in Gujarat post-2002 riots exposed her to religious prejudice and forced ghettoisation. So when Misbah Quadri moved to Mumbai, she hoped the city, known for its cosmopolitan culture, would treat her better.
However, the 25-year-old communications professional is today knocking on the doors of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) after she was denied a flat in the city just because she is a Muslim. After a hard search, Ms. Quadri found a tidy 3-BHK apartment at Sanghvi Heights in Wadala. Her new flatmates — two working women, in their early twenties and Hindu — found her on Facebook.
However, a day before Ms. Quadri was to shift, the apartment's broker warned that the housing society did not accept Muslim tenants. Even if something worked out, the broker told her, she would have to sign a "no-objection certificate" declaring that if she faced any harassment from her neighbours because of her religion, the builder, the owner and the broker "would not be legally responsible." She was also asked to submit her resume. Though she disagreed with the terms, she moved in because the notice period at her previous flat expired and her flatmates supported her and she hoped for a compromise later.
But within a week, the agent contacted her again. "He threatened to call the cops and throw me out of the flat. It got very ugly." When she approached the representative of the builder, she was told that it was "a policy" of the company not to have Muslim tenants. She was then served an ultimatum to vacate the house. Ultimately, she was forced to leave the flat. Incidentally, the other women had to pay a price for sheltering a Muslim; they have vacated the house unwillingly.
Ms. Quadri's case is not an exception. Last November, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) passed a resolution seeking to deny key clearances to builders and housing societies that discriminate against buyers on the basis of caste, religion or food habits. However, it still awaits sanction by the Urban Development Ministry, says MNS corporator Sandeep Deshpande, who submitted the proposal.
"There is still no reply on it. Only after the UD implements the proposal can the BMC punish the offending builders and housing societies. The other alternative is to lodge an FIR," Mr. Deshpande said.
Social activist Meena Seshu, who is assisting the women reach the NHRC, raised concern that "unacceptable" cases of discrimination on religion and caste were increasing.
Shailesh Sanghvi, director of Sanghvi Group of builders, did not respond to The Hindu's calls or messages.

Teuvo Teravainen Continued Improvement Is A Key In Chicago Blackhawks Playoff Push
When Teuvo Teravainen was drafted 18th overall in 2012, the Blackhawks knew they had a future playmaker.
The vision was very clear: Teravainen with his playmaking and passing combined with the all-around play of Patrick Kane. It was a match made in even.
Teravainen had some adjusting to do. First he needed to come to America and learn the NHL game. That required what some would like to call 'seasoning' down in the AHL with Rockford.
It wouldn't take long, everybody said. A season and half at most. He'll be ready to go.
Maybe the only knock on Teravainen was his size, coming in at 5'11 and 178 lbs. Although when compared to Patrick Kane, who is billed at the same height and weight, one may think the numbers may be inflated a bit.
Those predictions ended up being right. It took Teravainen 39 games this season before he got the call-up. He had a very healthy 25 points over those 39 games, proving that he had adjusted to the NHL style of play.
After finding himself stuck to the bottom six and not able to crack a ton of ice time, Teravainen showed that he was in fact human, a guy still with flaws in his game.
He was sent back to the AHL, in part due to a returning Kris Versteeg, but he knew that his time would come.
Enter an a injury to Patrick Kane. Not the perfect scenario for Teravainen to return, if a good scenario at all. Teravainen would slot right in on the second line and hope to fill in for Kane.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and Teravainen might be playing his best hockey, on the Blackhawks best line. Brandon Saad, newly acquired Antoine Vermette and Teravainen have been the speed, playmaking line the Blackhawks needed to break them out of their offensive slump.
With 12 games left in the season for this team, and a run at both Nashville and St. Louis still possible, Teuvo Teravainen is the key to the Blackhawk offense righting the ship.
He isn't Patrick Kane, but he's closest thing to it. Teravainen can be an immediate stop-gap to replace somebody that isn't replaceable.
His game translates well to being along Saad and Vermette. It's a line the should scare opposing teams in the playoffs.
And his good play has a ripple effect. The top line is configured with Patrick Sharp, Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa. Guys like Versteeg and Bryan Bickell can slot on the 3rd line, where they are a better fit for a postseason team.
Teravainen is the key to the Hawks success in the postseason. His play can soften the blow of a Kane injury. He can give the Hawks four solid lines, a problem they have had doing this season, and it's what wins a Stanley Cup.
A lot of pressure for a 24-year-old in his first NHL season, yet that's where the Hawks season stands; at the feet of a rookie forward having to fill in for Patrick Kane.

Sahanara Khatun, daughter of Abdul Gaffer Lasker was an out of school girl till IIMPACT touched her life. She lives in the tiny village Patra and was married at the very early age of thirteen. Her husband works in a distant town and Sahanara continues to stay with her parents.
Being faced with such a case for the first time IIMPACT had to counsel both her parents and her in-laws about the negatives of marrying at such a young age and the effects it would have on their daughter. It took a while but the team finally convinced them all about the importance of educating each of their daughters. Sahanara's parents were persuaded to send Sahanara as well as their other daughters to school. They have agreed that they will not get their younger daughters married at such an early age.
The parents and in-laws were shown the school and introduced to the way in which daily classes were conducted. They were encouraged by what they saw.
Today Sahanara has been coming to the centre for the past year and is at present studying in class II. Her younger sisters will soon be joining Sahanara at the IIMPACT learning centre.
Urmila , a seven year old IIMPACT student in Orissa is living proof of the fact that even extremely young children can be positively influenced by the actions of their peer group.
Before IIMPACT came into her life Urmila could be seen helping her widowed mother with housework. She had lost her father at the tender age of one. Her mother Gandalu was subsequently forced by their impoverished state to get all her 5 very young children involved in arduous physical labor at a terribly tender age. The children all work in the neighboring stone crushing quarries and help with basic farming activities in order to bring in additional income into their poverty stricken lives.
Despite her difficult life Urmila always harbored a dream of going to school just like some of her numerous village friends. She would watch these young girls with great envy as they happily skipped to their local IIMPACT learning centre, always keen to get to there on time. These girls were learning exciting new things every day at the centre and yet continued to contribute to their family's income by working after school hours.
Young Urmila, brimming with the desire to escape from the mundane life she was leading, finally took it upon herself to visit the IIMPACT centre and personally meet with the teacher in order to explore the possibility of being part of the IIMPACT program; the determined young girl did not involve her family in this process. Having independently decided on what she wanted to do Urmila then gradually worked on her mother, finally convincing her mother of the importance of education in the lives of young girls.
IIMPACT very soon became an integral part of her life and of that of her entire family. The family now takes a lot of interest in Urmila's academic progress. Much to her mother's amazement the diligent Urmila recently declared that she would like to become a teacher one day in order to enable many more girls to gain from the benefits of education. She may very well be a valuable IIMPACT teacher one day!
Zeenat Khan is a ten year old girl who belongs to a completely uneducated family. Zeenat was enrolled at the IIMPACT learning centre 'Deepak' in Rajasthan.
It is Zeenat who has helped introduce the light of education into her household and has now made education an integral part of the family members' lives. Zeenat's positive outlook was not always previously to be seen. In the early days at the centre, Zeenat's attendance proved to be irregular and her attitude towards work a bit tardy. Upon delving into her background and family history her teacher- Om Prakash- found that though Zeenat herself was actually very keen to gain from education, the rest of her 7 member, completely illiterate family did not think education was important enough for anyone (particularly a girl ) to neglect her household chores.. Rather it was felt that education would come in the way of housework and of the well being of the family at large.
Zeenat's family had never considered education as an option since this was an idea completely foreign to them. Despite the teacher's many secret reservations about being able to successfully convince this family to allow Zeenat to make the Learning Centre a part of her daily life, .the teacher remained persistent. He involved the local community members to help try and convince the parents about the importance of education and to explain to them that it could in fact change their lives forever.
These external efforts not only succeeded in making Zeenat even more determined to study in the face of opposition within her family, but finally also got the parents and other siblings to see the relevance of what Zeenat was trying to be part of. Now Zeenat not only goes regularly to school but also carries back homework with her. By the dint of her hard work and sheer determination Zeenat has within a time frame of 2 years and 7 months managed to successfully complete the class 5 exams and has now moved on to class 6 in the local government school. As a result of this influence her 2 younger brothers have enrolled in the local school and her parents are now convinced about the significance of education within every family. Her parents recognize the fact if Zeenat had not been so adamant about going to school her entire family would have remained in darkness.
Babu Sameedullaha and his wife Khaleekum would never have dreamt that their daughter Ashma would ever go to school. Her life and future had always promised to be bleak and dismal. Abu had injured his hand in an unfortunate accident and is not capable of working with his hands, leaving his family extremely poor.
It was when IIMPACT set up its Learning Centre in their village that its teacher Sabiha reached out to prospective students and laid eyes on Ashma. This young girl had a unique problem – she had been struck by polio in her early childhood. She could only walk by dragging her feet, finding it challenging to travel any distance. This did not deter Sabiha from approaching Ashma's parents and introducing them to the IIMPACT program. Ashma's parents were initially reluctant but finally agreed to send their daughter to school.
Today, it is wonderful to see Ashma arrive at the centre before anyone else on her wheelchair (pushed by her sister), which was presented by a donor in order to enable her to travel to and from the Learning Centre. She is a dedicated student who has the distinction of not having missed a single day of school since the very beginning.
Rubina Khatoon is a bright girl from one of the learning centers sponsored by ING-Vysya. She was identified by our local team in Mehmoodabad as we were planning to award our girls for their outstanding performance.
When Mrs. Khatoon,, Rubina's mother, came to know about our visit, she came and spoke to us. She told us that her husband died 10 years back and that she has no source of income. It was impossible for her to even think of educating her 3 children when she has barely anything to eat? She was ecstatic when she heard about the opening of learning center in her village. She also mentioned that she does not send her daughter to her mother's place because it would force Rubina to miss her classes. According to her Rubina has learnt a lot and she now teaches her younger brothers at home too. Mrs. Khatoon is illiterate and does not know how to read and write but her daughter now does all the calculation work. Rubina keeps the account of the money she earns from working in the fields. She said 'I thank 'Allah' everyday for setting up an IIMPACT learning centre near my house.' She said 'My present is dark but my future looks bright. I will not marry my daughter until she is an under-graduate". These words touched the hearts of all those

Great Application for Full Disc Encryption
**First of all, I will state that the only blades that I have used personally were the full disc encryption and management servers**
I worked as the "Checkpoint Guy" for approx 2 years and through whatever frustrations I was satisfied with the service that I received. Much like any other application this Checkpoint Full disk encryption is an ever-changing program to counter any threats or keeping up with technology. The management server is Gaia, which is a Checkpoint proprietary software that is Linux based.
The Encryption blades use Pre-Boot Authentication so that the software will prompt for a password prior to even booting into Windows. This is very nice when a machine actually is lost or stolen. Also, the management console allows you to see when the last time the computer checked in and the encryption status at that point in time.
Any times that I have contacted support they have been very helpful! I found two guys who are brothers and they are the absolute best that I have worked with.
Installing Checkpoint encryption on a new machine can sometimes take a while for it to cache the user's credentials. It seems that Checkpoint is a passive form of capturing the information and if there is any windows updates or group policies it will patiently wait its turn.
The console will get confused if the same computer name is used. It will create a duplicate entry and will not be able to communicate with the machine even though the machine is communicating with the server. This can be resolved by using a different computer name or removing the duplicate entry. Renaming the machine once the entry has been created in the console will not help.

Diamondbacks suffer 'letdown' in loss to Giants
The Diamondbacks played the sort of game befitting of the lineup they fielded on Monday night. Given what happened the day before, it wasn't a hard one to see coming.
A night after a rowdy, emotional champagne celebration that culminated with a dip in the Chase Field pool in right-center field, the Diamondbacks played a dud of a game, losing 9-2 to the San Francisco Giants.
"It was a very good celebration last night," Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. "I'm not totally surprised by the day today, to be honest with you. That's not to make an excuse. We should be ready. We're a type of team that comes out and functions and does well under any circumstances. But yesterday was such an emotional high. I felt like this could have been a letdown."
The Diamondbacks had only two semi-regulars in their lineup, a group that would have felt more at home on a March afternoon at Salt River Fields. And given that the outcome meant about as much as a spring-training game – the Diamondbacks' wild-card spot is locked up, as is home-field advantage in the Oct. 4 sudden-death game – it was hard to get too worked up about what happened.
Except, perhaps, for the performance of right-hander Zack Godley, who was tagged for six runs (five earned) in 4 1/3 innings, five of the runs coming in the fourth. He gave up eight hits, including a pair of home runs, and walked three (one intentional).
It was his second consecutive shaky start – and, with the club rearranging its rotation in order to better line up Zack Greinke for the wild-card start – it could be Godley's final outing of the regular season.
"It's not a good outing," Godley said. "I mean, four and a third is never a good outing."
Like the rest of his teammates on Sunday, Godley enjoyed the aftermath of the playoff clincher. After the game, he raced down the left-field line and slapped hands with fans along the rail. He led the charge to the pool and was the first to take a plunge, going in backward like a fallen tree. But he said none it had anything to do with his performance on Monday.
"I had my fun here, and then I took it to the house and got ready for my start today," Godley said. "I felt good. My bullpen was good. The first couple of innings were very good, and I just had the one hiccup in the fourth and they made me pay for it."
The outing prolongs an ugly stretch from the rotation. Left-hander Patrick Corbin threw well on Sunday, giving up two runs in 6 2/3 innings. But that's the only quality start in the past eight games, during which the rotation has posted a 8.53 ERA in 38 innings. Lovullo again called it a "minimal concern."
"There's been a few games in a row now and we haven't thrown the ball as good as possibly can," Lovullo said. "But I know these guys are very equipped and capable and getting ready and gearing up for their start."
Lovullo seemed more bothered by the four errors his club committed, including two more by pitchers, who have made six errors in the past seven games. He said he expects things to return to normal as soon as Tuesday, when most, if not all, of his everyday players will be back in the lineup.
"I know there were a lot of regulars watching that game today and I think they were frustrated by it," Lovullo said. "I think they're going to step up tomorrow and do what they're supposed to do."

Survey of banking lending policy
Date: 19-08-2011
NBP data: In 2011 Q2 banks moderated their lending policy towards enterprises but they slightly tightened lending standards in the case of households.
Every quarter the NBP publishes a report entitled 'Senior loan officer opinion survey on bank lending practices and credit conditions'. The latest report covering 2011 Q2 and banks' predictions for 2011 Q3 has been available at the NBP website since 19 August 2011.
The NBP asks banks if and to what extent they have changed their lending standards (which determine the minimum creditworthiness standards) as well as terms on which they lend money (including the amount of margins). This time banks declared that in recent months they had relaxed their lending policies towards enterprises – admittedly this development was rather due to widespread reduction of margins than to an only slight moderation of lending standards (such an opinion was shared by the highest percentage of banks in the history of surveys). Banks estimate that demand for corporate loans is rising, particularly in the case of short-term loans to small and medium-sized enterprises. They anticipate that this increase in demand will continue into the third quarter, and so will the moderating trend in lending policy towards enterprises.
A slightly different situation has developed in the case of loans to households. For both consumer and housing loans there has been a slight tightening of lending standards. In the latter case, this development was accompanied by a reduction of margins. Bankers estimate that in the coming months there will be a growing demand for both types of loans to households (larger demand in the segment of consumer loans) and banks will be prone to further moderation of their policy, particularly in the housing loan segment.

These cells grow and split in a controlled manner to make more cells as they are necessary to maintain the organic structure strong. When cells become old or hurt, they pass off and are replaced with new cells. Despite that, sometimes this organized method goes wrong. The familial stuff ( DNA ) of a cell can go injury or misused, bring forthing mutants that concern normal cell growing and division. Equally shortly as this happens, cells do non decease as they should and new cells signifier when the organic structure does non necessitate them. Image coroneted Loss of Normal Growth Control.

Radiation Therapy: It uses high-energy radiation to minimise tumours and kill malignant neoplastic disease cells. X raies, gamma beams, and charged atoms are types of radiation used for malignant neoplastic disease remedy. The radiation may be delivered by a device outside the organic structure, or it may come from radioactive affair located in the organic structure near malignant neoplastic disease cells. It uses radioactive substances, for case radioactive I, that pass through in the blood to kill malignant neoplastic disease cells. About half of all malignant neoplastic disease patients are given some type of radiation therapy sometime during the class of their remedy. Cryosurgery: It is the usage of utmost cold formed by liquid N to pulverize unusual tissue. It is used to handle external tumours, for case those on the tegument. For exterior tumours, liquid N is applied straight to the malignant neoplastic disease cells with a cotton swab or spraying device. Cryosurgery is besides used to handle tumours inside the organic structure. For internal tumours, liquid N or Ar gas is spread through an empty device called a call investigation, which is placed in contact with the tumour. The physician uses ultrasound or MRI to direct the call investigation and detect the freeze of the cells, therefore restricting injury to shut by strong tissue. A ball of ice crystals forms around the investigation, stop deading close by cells. Sometimes more than one investigation is used to direct the liquid N to different parts of the tumour. The investigations may be put into the tumour during surgery or through the tegument. After cryosurgery, the frozen tissue melt and is either of course absorbed by the organic structure, or it dissolves and forms an outer bed.

As of straight at present, the Yankees' infield condition for the 2022 time is loaded with wonder marks. Gleyber Torres will perform minute foundation, and Luke Voit continues to be the staff members's 1st baseman. There is at present no shortstop, on the other hand, and the benchmarks is that the Bombers will provide one particular. They could possibly, on top of that, convey inside yet another 1st sacker. Gio Urshela and DJ LeMahieu continue to be within the visualize. The past, a organic and natural 3rd baseman, can too participate in some shortstop , whilst the latter can perform all near the diamond until for shortstop. If the Yankees make a decision in direction of transfer with Voit at initially foundation and provide within just a shortstop, there will be 2 sites for 3 avid gamers: Urshela, Torres, and LeMahieu. Of program, Voit and Urshela include been spelled out as long run exchange parts for the Yanks, and if they are significant above buying and selling for Oakland A's star Matt Olson, at bare minimum a person of them will heading be shifting uniforms. Still buying and selling Urshela might not be these types of a favourable strategy. His worth might be at an all-year small considering that his period with Clean York started out.

If it turns out that Urshela's injury experienced an oversized have an impact on upon this 2021 generation, then it stands toward explanation that he may possibly rebound into anything at all even further than a multipurpose defensive participant, nonetheless an all-over a person however back. Urshela, easily spot, did not consist of a favourable period with personal injury ultimate period. Inside of real truth, each individual thirty day period of the 12 months, he checked inside of with some type of actual physical position.

He much too experienced a bruised thigh and a slash upon his decreased leg right after operating entire-tempo into the Rays' dugout in just the month to month-period finale. That is simply just a brutal slate of regular nagging difficulties. It's virtually unexpected Urshela maintained in the direction of even enjoy 116 game titles final 12 months, make it possible for by yourself at a somewhere around league-typical place. It's sensible in direction of expect that highest of those people harm experienced at minimum amount some influence upon his 2021 effectiveness. However he is willing towards switch the corner

Myths are a part and parcel of everyone's lives. However, one has to be wary of some of the myths that are floating around on issues related to health that includes dental health because it could result in dangerous consequences if followed without understanding the principles behind it. You will get some insight into dental myths by reading this FAQ.
There are many dental myths that fit into any of the above categories. Some of these myths are child related, some of them adult related and the rest superstitious and these are detailed below.
- Chocolate Eating causes caries/ cavities/ tooth decay
This is true only if you do not rinse your mouth properly after eating the chocolate. The chocolate particles stick to your tooth and the decay causing bacteria reacts with these food particles to produce acids which are mainly responsible for tooth enamel erosion and decay.
- Decay in Baby Teeth is not a Problem
Parents are of the opinion that there is no need for brushing baby teeth and maintain proper oral hygiene because they will be falling after sometime. They believe dental care of babies can start only after the babies get permanent teeth. In fact, the permanent teeth are growing under the primary teeth and tooth decay in primary teeth will result in damage to permanent teeth. Premature loss of baby teeth might result in improper positioning of the permanent teeth thereby necessitating orthodontic treatment in future.
- Upper teeth in children protrudes because of Thumb sucking habit
Thumb sucking is a normal habit for infants and the children feel happy and secure by thumb sucking. This habit starts decreasing one the child reaches 3 years. If the habit continues beyond the age of 4 to 5 years there is a cause for concern because it causes the problem of forward placement of the teeth. You must consult a dental surgeon on this habit if the habit is severe and more frequent.
- A child never needs cleaning of milk teeth
Not true. It is a myth that we need not clean a child's teeth. Children are as much prone for dental decay or gum diseases as adults. In fact children tend to have sweet food including sweetened milk and juices, which can promote dental caries. So it is advisable to start the habit of cleaning the infant's teeth soon after they appear in the mouth. In fact it is advised to clean baby's gum pads everyday by gentle massage even before the teeth erupt.
- Baby toothpaste is the best for young children
Not true. Many baby toothpastes do not contain sufficient fluoride to prevent tooth decay. Choose the baby toothpaste that contains a minimum of 1,000ppm fluoride.
- Sufficient fluoride already exists in our water supply
Not true. Some water supplies only have enough fluoride. You must verify from your suppliers.
- More Sugar intake increases the number of cavities
Tooth decay occurs when sugars remain in contact with the teeth for a long time. Hence if you sip soda throughout the day or eat hard candy you risk more cavities than eating chocolate that melts away quickly. If you rinse your mouth after eating chocolate there should be a problem.
- Dental treatment should be avoided during pregnancy
Not true. Dental treatments are provided in the late stages of pregnancy at times. However, before performing a major surgical procedure it is necessary to take medical opinion. In the first three months of pregnancy it is essential to avoid dental x-rays.
- A mother loses one tooth for every child born
Not true. The theory behind this myth is that the baby in the womb takes away calcium from the mother's teeth. In fact calcium is absorbed by the baby from the bone of the mother and not from her teeth. This loss of calcium has to be replenished and has nothing to do with tooth loss.
- Extraction of upper teeth will affect vision
Not true. This is a misconception. Treating the upper teeth or extracting it has nothing to do with vision.
- Worms are responsible for Tooth Decay
Not true. Tooth decay occurs when the tooth enamel is destroyed. Food items such as pop, milk, raisins, candy and cake contain sugars, carbohydrates and starches and if these items stay on the teeth for longer periods it will cause tooth decay. Bacteria inside your mouth react with such foods and produce acids. These acids cause erosion of the enamel on your tooth which in turn results in tooth decay over a period of time.
- Brushing with a neem twig is better than using a toothbrush and toothpaste
Not true. Neem twig has irregular bristles that could harm your gums. Better to use toothpaste and toothbrush.
- Brushing with salt whitens your teeth
Not true. Salt is abrasive and could harm your tooth enamel as well as your gums. The dentin is the tooth's inner layer and is yellow in color. Removal of tooth enamel will make your teeth look yellow.
- Freshly Squeezed lemon juice will whiten your teeth
No amount of lemon juice will make your teeth any whiter. But it will definitely erode the enamel.
- Charcoal, salt, rice husk and tobacco powder cleans better than toothpaste
The purpose of teeth cleaning is to remove the food particles as well as the plaque on and around the teeth. Toothbrush has bristles that can enter the space between the teeth so that it can clean better using tooth paste or tooth powder. Commercially available tooth paste or tooth powder from branded companies contains particles of ideal size and they do not harm the teeth. On the other hand, salt and other powders are coarse and they could abrade the enamel in the teeth thereby causing permanent damage to them. Hence, it is advisable that you use standard tooth brush with tooth paste/tooth powder.
It is preferable to use toothpaste because it flows on the brush properly; further it contains anti-tartar chemicals, fluorides etc. that are good for your teeth. Since toothpaste foams it is helpful in freshening your teeth.
Tobacco should never be used because people tend to get addicted to the nicotine in the tobacco.
- Teeth cleaning with finger and powder are more beneficial than brushing with toothbrush
Not true. Tooth brush has bristles that are helpful for cleaning plaque and food particles from every surface of the teeth. On the other hand, finger cannot reach the surfaces that the brush reaches. Use brush & toothpaste for better teeth cleaning. Use fingers for massaging the gums.
- Eating foods when it is very hot is bad for teeth
Not true. Drinking or eating cold or hot foods are unlikely to cause damage to your teeth. If you do it on a regular basis it is quite likely that it causes nerve damage. You will definitely damage your nerves if you eat 2 to 3 ice candies everyday.
- More you brush, better your teeth
Not true. Brushing for long periods of time is not good for your teeth. The tooth enamel will wear out because of the extended brushing duration and in the long run this will cause tooth sensitivity. Limit your brushing time to 3 minutes and brush twice a day.
- Too much of brushing your teeth will erode the tooth enamel
True. This is all the more true if you brush in the wrong direction. Brush in the vertical direction and not in the horizontal direction. Use only soft brushes to prevent enamel erosion.
- Professional cleaning/scaling/removal of tartar loosens the teeth
Teeth are held firmly by the supporting tissues of the periodontium including bone. Bad oral hygiene results in the deposition of tartar /calculus on the tooth surface. These deposits irritate the gums and can cause inflammation and bleeding of the gums. If the tartar is not removed, the gums may recede and the supporting bone around the teeth gets destroyed. The tartar on the teeth thus causes great harm to the supporting tissues of the teeth. However, patients may experience slight mobility of the teeth after tartar is removed as it kind of binds the teeth together. Professional cleaning removes this tartar and arrests further destruction of supporting bone. Removal of tartar deposits only helps to recover the health of supporting structures. This chain of events does not take place in people who have dental checkup regularly.
- Many health problems are caused by Dental amalgam
Many public health organizations – WHO, PHS, NIH and FDA – have repeatedly stated that dental amalgams are safe.
- You can cure some diseases by removing dental amalgam
Not true. Such belief only leads to unnecessary dental treatments. Some of the health organizations and medical experts have given the following opinions on some of the beliefs on dental amalgams.
- National Multiple Sclerosis Society – no scientific evidence exists to connect MS or other neurological diseases development to dental fillings that contain mercury.
- Alzheimer's Association – no relationship exists between silver dental fillings and Alzheimer.
- American Academy of Pediatrics – no scientific evidence exists regarding the clinical toxic effects produced by dental amalgam
- Mercury vapors released by Dental amalgam fillings are harmful to your body
Chewing and grinding release minute amounts of mercury vapor – 1-3 micrograms per day and this is not significant enough to cause any harm.
- No harm is done by using sodium bi-carbonate for whitening your teeth
Not true. Sodium bicarbonate is highly abrasive and could harm your tooth enamel. Better way is to use special whitening toothpastes with bicarbonate for whitening your teeth. The sodium bicarbonate content in such toothpaste is minimal and will not cause damage to your teeth.
- For curing tooth ache take medications
Not true. Medication is meant for relieving the tooth pain and not for curing it; your dentist will check the root cause of the problem and find a permanent cure.
- Tooth Ache can be stopped by placing an aspirin beside the tooth
Not true. Aspirin can be taken orally to alleviate the pain. Aspirin contains acetylsalicylic acid and this causes chemical burn on the gum tissues. Place a powdered clove or apply natural analgesics such as a few drops of clove oil or tea tree oil that will help in reducing tooth ache. Too much of clove oil also might burn your gums.
- Tooth extraction is painful
this was true in the olden days when primitive equipments and techniques were used. At present dentists use local anesthetics to alleviate the pain of the patient. Tooth with complications such as impacted tooth or tooth having dilacerated roots might still be painful to extract.
- Dental procedures are always painful
Most dental procedures are carried out under local anesthesia, which makes the procedures totally painless. In addition the modern day high-speed drills cause fewer vibrations and are more comfortable for the patients.
- Toothpicks usage will widen gap between teeth
Not true. You can use commercial toothpicks without any harm for removing food particles; take care not to harm your gums. Do not use metal pins as toothpick. Better way to remove food particles between your teeth is to floss daily.
- Flossing cause gaps between teeth
Flossing could cause gaps between teeth only if it is done incorrectly. The correct method of flossing is to hold floss tight between two hands. Place the floss between the teeth and floss vertically 8 to 10 times. Correct flossing will prevent cavities and tooth decay.
- Osteoporosis Has Nothing to Do With Oral Health
persons having osteoporosis suffer from porous bones which are less dense and strong. The face bones hold your teeth in place and osteoporosis can affect your face bone. Calcium rich diet will help in strengthening of your bones which will avoid such problems.
- Wisdom tooth need to be extracted
Not true. You might have to get it extracted only when it pokes your inner cheek or displaces other teeth or come in the way of bone growth.
- Your teeth are healthy only when it is white
Not true. Teeth might be attractive to look at when it is pure white; however they are not expected to be pure white. Brush and floss regularly to make your teeth white. Avoid foods that could stain your teeth – coffee, tea and red wine.
- Braces cause mouth infections
True at times. The braces could cut your gums thereby causing infections. The foods might collect between the braces and if it is not removed it could rot thereby leading to infection.
- An artificial set of teeth or complete denture that is made once is forever
While it is true that well fitting dentures are used by the patient for many years, it is a myth that it can be retained forever. The oral tissues that lie below the dentures change over a period of time. But the dentures are made of stiff materials that do not adapt according to the changing contours of the oral tissues. Thus even a well fitting denture may not fit well after a few years. If an ill-fitting denture is continued to be worn, it can cause damage to the underlying tissues. Thus most dentists' advice changing of the dentures once in at least 5 years.
- Once a decayed tooth is treated the dental problem is over
Dental decay is treated by use of various restorative materials. However the artificial material usually will not completely match the tooth in strength, colour, smoothness and other qualities. In addition if the patient does not maintain good hygiene, decay can start again around restorations.Hence, whenever a tooth is filled or replaced it requires use of additional cleaning methods like flossing, interdental brushes, etc, in addition to regular tooth brushing. In addition dental check up once a year becomes all the more important when you have a treated tooth.

VANCOUVER – Turquoise Hill Resources (TSX:TRQ) is reporting a net loss of $182.4 million in the fourth quarter, more than double its net loss of $85.8 million in the same period a year earlier.
The Vancouver-based company, formerly known as Ivanhoe Mines Ltd., says the loss, which amounts to 18 cents per dilluted share in Q4 of this year, compared to four cents in 2011, is largely attributed to non-controlling interests.
Its primary operation is a 66 per cent interest in the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold-silver mine in southern Mongolia, which is expected to begin commercial production in the first half of 2013.
The company says the first phase of the construction of the mine, located south of the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, is 99 per cent complete.
The final cost for Oyu Tologi, including development, equipment, plant and property costs, is expected to be $6.2 billion, which is within three per cent of the budget.
In the fourth quarter, Turquoise Hill reported revenue of $41.6 million, compared with revenue of $51 million in the same quarter in 2011.
The Vancouver-headquartered company is majority owned by Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO).
In February, the company had announced it was selling its 50 per cent stake in Kazakhstan miner Altynalmas Gold Ltd. for US$300 million to Sumeru Gold BV.
Turquoise Hill had acquired an interest in the project in 1996 and acquired its stake in Altynalmas in 2008.
It also owns a 58 per cent interest in Mongolian coal miner SouthGobi Resources (TSX:SGQ) and 57 per cent interest in copper-gold miner Ivanhoe Australia (TSX:IVA).
On the Toronto Stock Exchange, Turquoise Hill shares down 17 cents, or 2.56 per cent, at $6.46 on Monday. It reported its earnings after markets had closed.

Covid-19's impact on the country is massive. It has caused a national state of disaster and more than 60 days of a nationwide lockdown, unheard of in South Africa's history.
Many companies listed on the JSE also haven't escaped the brunt of the impact of the coronavirus.
Pepkor Holdings reported that the company had lost R5 billion in revenue in April as a result of level 5 lockdown implemented.
Pepkor has maintained strong trading momentum into July but said it is uncertain how long these levels of performance are possible as the impact of Covid-19 on the economy and employment unfolds.
City Lodge
City Lodge Hotels has warned that it will report losses for the year to end June as the Covid-19 pandemic hit its earnings, particularly in the last three months of the reporting period.
Its basic earnings per share (Eps) was forecast to fall by between 333 percent and 339 percent to a loss of between 1 310.8c and 1 344.5c compared to last year's basic Eps of 562c with its basic headline earnings per share (Heps) to decline by between 166 percent and 172 percent, to a loss of between 369.6c and 403.3c compared to basic Heps of 561.7c reported last year.
Lewis Group
The Lewis Group, a retailer of household furniture and electrical appliances, took a hit in the last quarter of its financial year, with March merchandise sales declining by 24.8percent.
The group said in a trading update for the year to the end of March that the start of the lockdown on March 27 significantly impacted on its sales.
"Management estimates that the group lost merchandise sales of about R80million and customer account payments of R180m by being restricted from trading in the March month-end period," the group said.
Liberty Holdings
Liberty Holdings swung into a loss of R2.17 billion in the six months to end June after the financial services group set aside a R3bn pandemic reserve fund to deal with the Covid-19 outbreak in its operations.
The group also reported normalised headline loss of 802.5 cents a share compared to last year's normalised headline earnings a share of 735.8c while basic loss a share came in at 902.4c compared to last year's basic earnings a share of 699.9c.
The group did not declare an interim dividend in the light of the outbreak.
The following companies saw revenues increase despite the nationwide lockdown and restrictions by government as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic:
Pretoria Portland Cement's growth in cement sales arose in June, ironically, from the Covid-19 pandemic, as less imported cement entered the country. June 2020, as the cement sales volumes in South Africa grew by double digits, compared to June 2019. \
This was mostly due to the absence of imports that had given an opportunity for local producers like PPC South Africa to grow.
Exxaro Resources
The South African diversified mining company has reported group revenue of R14.1 billion during the six months to June on strong export volumes and the weaker rand.
Exxaro said that group revenue was up 18 percent from R11.9bn a year earlier mainly due to a 15 percent increase in coal revenue and the consolidation of energy revenue relating to Cennergi from April 1.
AngloGold Ashanti
The world's third-biggest gold producer,AngloGold Ashanti was in solid shape after generating $177million (R3.12billion) in free cash flow during the six months to the end of June compared with an outflow of $31m for the same period last year as it rode the wave of the higher gold price
Gold Fields
Mining company Gold Fields said its headline earnings per share for the first half of 2020 would soar by up to 310 percent from the five US cents reported in 2019.
In a trading statement, Gold Fields, which is due to release its first half financial results on August 20, said the increase in earnings for the period was driven largely by higher gold prices.
