You already called for an appointment but you can't get in to see the dentist for another two weeks. What kind of toothache home remedies will give you some relief and get you through to the appointment?
There are lots of herbs that have pain-relieving qualities.
Home Remedies for a Toothache
Tea Bags for Tooth Pain
First, try taking a teabag, black or green will do, and heating it in the microwave with just a little water to moisten it and warm it up. Squeeze out the excess water and while it is still warm place it on the sore tooth. The tannic acid will help reduce swelling and pain. You should feel almost instant relief. Hold the teabag in your mouth by biting down on it
Take the teabag out when it gets cool, save the teabag and see if you can get more than one use out of it. If it does not work as well the second time then just throw it away and use a fresh teabag every time. Tea tends to have a bitter taste when it isn't sweetened but you should be able to stand it for the little bit of time you will have the teabag in your mouth.
Clove Oil for Toothache
Another one of the toothache home remedies that is popular is the use of cloves or clove oil. cloves and clove oil have a powerful pain relieving compound in them called eugenol. A natural analgesic, eugenol also has anti-bacterial properties and anti-inflammatory properties as well.
You can mix the clove oil with some olive oil and soak a cotton ball in it. Then place the cotton ball on the tooth and hold in there by biting down gently on it.
If you are pregnant clove oil can be damaging to your unborn fetus and should be avoided. People with kidney or liver problems or those who have had seizures in the past should not take clove oil at all.
Cinnamon Oil for Toothache
Other remedies you can try include cinnamon mixed with olive oil to make a paste. Dab a q-tip in the mixture and apply it to your tooth. Cinnamon has the same pain-relieving qualities cloves do only without the potential side effects.
Salt Water for Tooth Pain
You could also try one of the old standby toothache home remedies of a half teaspoon of salt in about four ounces warm water and just swish it around your mouth and spit it out. Try to hold it over the sore tooth if you can before spitting it out. The salt will dull the pain.
Natural Pain Relief for Tooth and Gum Abscesses
OralAssist is a safe, non-addictive, FDA-registered natural remedy containing 100% homeopathic ingredients selected to relieve pain caused by tooth and gum abscesses.
OralAssist also supports the structures of the tooth, gums and mouth for over-all oral health, without harmful side effects. This remedy contains a selection of homeopathic ingredients known to address throbbing discomfort or soreness in teeth and gums and provide relief.

Tucked into the heartbreaking story about a young woman's lack of access to lifesaving health care to treat her addiction to heroin was the fact that Bridgette Kurtzke was diagnosed with bipolar disorder as a teen ["A daughter lost to heroin," Editorial, May 15].
A 2014 study by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration said 7.9 million people had both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder.
Newsday's editorial stated that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has created a task force on opioid addiction that will propose legislation. The fact is, we already have federal legislation, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Both state that it's illegal to treat diseases of the brain differently from those of any other part of the body.
Before proposing bills, the governor and his task force should know that these laws aren't being adequately enforced in New York, especially as it relates to having an adequate network of services. Insurers must provide enrollees with timely access to a sufficient number of providers included in the benefit contract.

A crowdfunding site created this week to support Ferguson, Missouri, police officer Darren Wilson and his family continues to rake in donations, but not without backlash against comments made by some of the campaign's donors.
Created on Monday on the site GoFundMe, the campaign had raised over $225,000 as of midday Friday in support of Wilson, who shot and killed unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9. More than 5,600 people have pledged toward a goal of $250,000. Many donors added remarks while making their donations, some of which were incendiary. GoFundMe responded early Friday on Twitter saying the "comments posted in violation of GoFundMe's terms have been removed."

Did Trump underestimate the duties before becoming the President of the United States? Some comments made recently by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and others show he might have.
After meeting with President-elect Trump, Gingrich told the USA Today, that Trump is starting to have a deeper appreciation for his new role.
When he met with Trump last week, Gingrich says, "He commented, 'This is really a bigger job than I thought.' Which is good. He should think that."
As president, Gingrich went on, "you have war and peace, you have enormous powers … and it all comes down to the Oval Office and it all comes down to you."
Watch USA Today's interview of Gingrich below:
The comments made by Gingrich, to the USA Today follow an older report by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) of comments from sources inside the White House who said that, "Mr. Trump seemed surprised by the scope" of responsibilities in the Oval Office, following his meeting with President Barack Obama. The same WSJ piece also reported that the Trump team was unaware that they would have to replace the entire working staff for the President following Obama's exit.
Add to these comments, all the controversy of the Trump transition to the White House, such as some of his choices for key cabinet or White House Staff positions, and his inability to control his Twitter account, and many are left with a lot of questions.
Lucky for Trump he still has until January 20th, 2017, when he is inaugurated, to continue to learn the entirety of responsibilities he is accountable for as President.

My Irish summer memories: 'The benchmark for a successful summer in those times was how much sunburn you could manage to accumulate'
Irish people share their summer memories from the 1950s through to the 1990s
Swimming in the sea, playing hide-and-seek in the fields, eating vinegary chips followed by dripping ice-cream… We all yearn to return to those endless days of freedom when adventure was afoot and the sun always seemed to shine. Here, some of the Irish Independent's leading writers share their treasured memories of childhood summer holidays from across Ireland and beyond
It always seemed to be sunny during those childhood summer holidays (although sun cream was unheard of)...
1950s Liam Collins Longford
When I was growing up in the Ireland of the 1950s and 60s there was no such thing as a foreign holiday.
You went to your granny, somewhere in the country.
My father and mother would pack all five of us into the back of his Triumph Herald and, in our case, we'd set off for the townland of Graffogue, near Ardagh in Co. Longford. It was a traditional single-story country farmhouse and where we all fitted, I don't know. As far as I can recall, there were only three small bedrooms and nine of us to be accommodated.
We played with our cousins, the Farrells, who were around the same age as ourselves and lived about a mile away or with the Kellys (pictured, with Liam dead centre) who lived further away near Longford but would come calling when we were in residence.
We'd help, or more likely hinder, the hay-making which was done in the traditional way and made into cocks, which would go from green to golden in a day or two. In the midday heat, we'd sit under a Hazel tree and drink lukewarm tea and eat slices of brown bread and homemade butter, so salty we always called it 'country butter'.
There was another outing on the donkey and cart for a day in the bog.
Every morning we'd be sent to collect the eggs from under the roosting hens. I often tried to milk a cow, but could never get the hang of it. But mostly we amused ourselves, roaming in the fields, playing football, calling on our cousins or making a trip to McKenna's, the shop at the top of the lane.
My granny made Rasp, which was a Longford version of the more famous Boxty, which is a grated raw potatoes fried on a big black pan over smouldering turf embers. We ate well, but there wasn't much meat, except one year when the granny's dog Jack got so excited at our arrival that he killed a hen, which was promptly cooked and eaten.
Even then farms were dangerous places and my grandfather was terrified of me either trying to catch the donkey to ride bare back, or the big plough-horse, easy to catch but impossible to mount he was so big. I'd turn the hay barn into a slide and use the hayforks as spears in imaginary war games.
So eventually I was packed off to my auntie Irene and uncle Tim up in the Slieve Bloom mountains, where they thought I would get up to less devilment. With my cousins, the Bergins, I'd go swimming in the river, cycle off to gather apples from the orchards of the crumbling big houses in the vicinity, try to bait the Verchoyle's big bull down by the church, and ruin the corn by trying to catch the elusive Corncrakes.
It always seemed to be sunny during those childhood summer holidays (although sun cream was unheard of), but I'm sure it wasn't. But isn't that the way we always look back on the idyllic days of childhood, those golden days before the cares of age catch up with us.

The benchmark for a successful summer in those times was how much sunburn you could manage to accumulate
1960s Frank Coughlan Cork
I don't do nostalgia and rarely browse through old snaps for the sake if it. But for this exercise I had to and it gave me a bit of a jolt. A bit like being ever so gently rear-ended by an old dear at the traffic lights. There I am. In 1963. So long ago, but only yesterday too.
I was all of seven, immaculately turned out by my mother for what was, if my memory is being honest, a day trip with my family and uncle, a priest home from Bend, Oregon, for the summer. My recollection might be less reliable here, but I think that must be Oyster Haven, not too far from my home in Cork city.
That was a particularly memorable summer. Uncle Bobby - or Fr Leopold, as his Capuchin brethren knew him - was a warm and gentle man home on his first holiday for nearly a decade and lavishing attention on a receptive nephew. Being the youngest of four children by seven years, I was quite adept at manipulating adults.
We didn't go away on a family break that year but when we did it was never far. In much the same way as many Dubliners didn't venture much beyond Bray or Courtown, Corkonians looked fondest on sand and sandals reliables like Crosshaven and Youghal.
I remember Youghal with particular fondness; its majestic prom lined with large, stern Victorian houses and an immaculate strand that stretched for miles all the way to Red Barn.
The benchmark for a successful summer in those less censorious times was how much sunburn you could manage to accumulate. Red raw won you respect, but the bulging blisters I harvested on my unprotected shoulders earned only sympathetic oohs and aahs.
I still remember them vividly. They're about the only painful summer memory I can summon up. Happy days.

For two glorious weeks we threw off the limitations of a suburban childhood and experienced the joyous freedom of the country
1980s Yvonne Hogan Kilkenny
It's the freedom that I remember most. And the long hot days spent playing outside without an adult in sight. Long, hot, feral days that seemed to go on forever, and ended only when the hunger became unbearable and drove us back indoors in search of food. It was heaven.
Every summer for as long as I can remember, my siblings and I went to stay with my parents' best friends Liam and Josephine Burke in Co. Kilkenny.
My parents would drive us up from Cork and drop us off, and for two glorious weeks we threw off all the limitations of a suburban childhood and experienced the joyous freedom of the country with the Burkes. There were two of them and five of us. Catherine (pictured left, with Yvonne far left), the eldest, was the same age as me. Her brother James was the same age as my sister Niamh. There was my older brother Brendan and the two smallies, Mairead and Andrew - my little brother and sister who were seven and eight years younger than me.
Back home, the idea that all us siblings would play together was unthinkable. But in Kilkenny with the Burkes, we were a fast tribe. Like the Secret Seven, we would spend all day wandering through fields, up and down country lanes and, best of all, walk to the local river where we would spend hours playing in the water.
The freedom we enjoyed is unthinkable now, but those summer days are the most beloved and important of my childhood. We were expected to behave responsibly and we did. We looked after each other. And we returned back to our city lives closer and more confident for it. I'd pay any money for my daughter to have such wild, free, magical summer holidays like I had, but there are some things that money just can't buy.

My granny brought us to the beach for the entire day. Every day
1980s Nicola Anderson, Wicklow
Ireland in the 1980s. The very phrase is supposed to conjure up images of a grey people living in a grey world long before excitement or even colour was ever invented. But, of course, through a child's eyes, it wasn't like that.
Growing up free-range alongside the oysters, the heron and the curlew on the rocky shores of south Co. Galway, our wonderfully patient mother would survive til the summer and then, with a certain relief but missing us already, pack us off to our granny's in Bray, Co. Wicklow.
From one seashore to another - but this one was as exotic as Morocco to us; with its brass ensembles playing on the bandstand, brightly coloured beach balls swaying from the little kiosks, and the heady mingled aromas of pink candy floss and somebody else's vinegary chips - always smelling mysteriously better than your own ever tasted.
My grandmother managed to bring us down to the beach for the entire day, returning for lunch and then back again for the afternoon session. Every day.
From her perch on the strand, she wrote to her children scattered in far-flung places, only interrupted occasionally by her scrambling to her feet with an agonised "Jesus, Mary and Joseph" in fear at our overly spirited antics.
I look at her now at the age of 89 and still only see the resourceful woman of 60, who made fragrant pots of raspberry jam, the most pillowy sponge cakes and who starched the church linens a dazzlingly improbable white. She spoiled us rotten and now she spoils my children. I'm very happy to let her.

The spots we marked with an X - Sky Road, Dog's Bay, the Coral Beach, Omey Island - wouldn't seem out of place on a treasure map
1980s Pól Ó Conghaile Connemara
We were halfway up some threadbare mountain, wind pummelling us like punchbags, before my father finally broke out the meatballs.
Lighting a little stove between two flat stones, he stirred our lunch with a stick, taking what seemed like an age to warm it up. The tin cost a couple of pence in a local supermarket, but its contents tasted like Christmas dinner.
Back then, Connemara didn't seem like a revelation. As kids, we were lucky to enjoy home holidays in Cork and Kerry, alongside a few more exotic expeditions - a Brittany campsite, for instance, or the mix of fairytale castles, farm ice-cream and French street names on Jersey Island. All of our summer holidays seemed epic and all laid foundations for my lifelong love of travel.
As we grow older, however, memories shift and change. Big trips can become small. Single days out can become symphonies. And for some reason, Connemara keeps mushrooming as a holiday memory for me. Maybe it was because my parents honeymooned there. Maybe it was that dogfish I found on the beach near Renvyle House, or that kayaking adventure near the Killary fjord.
It wasn't exotic. But it cast a unique, and uniquely Irish, spell. Driving there, in an Ireland devoid of motorways, was a nerve-fraying ordeal - until the suburbs of Galway trickled out and the landscape started to reveal itself through makey-uppy-sounding placenames (Maam Cross, Oughterard, Derroura). The Mamturk Mountains rose up, and black-faced sheep were bosses of the road.
Then, as now, Connemara was as capable of hurling a storm in your face as letting the sun spill down on coves that could be cut from the Caribbean. The spots we marked with an X - Sky Road, Dog's Bay, the Coral Beach, Omey Island - wouldn't seem out of place on a treasure map.
I returned this April with my own wife and kids. We spent four days in Mayo and Galway, paddling at Mannin Bay, fishing with a ghillie at Ballynahinch Castle, kayaking with Delphi Adventure Centre. The weather ranged from spotty rain to whipping wind and the odd hour of dazzling sunshine. Apart from the meatballs, it was like I'd never been away.

We bolted to the airport so our family could be reunited on the banks of the Rhine
1990s Emma Jane Hade Germany
Every summer - as far back as I can remember - my younger brother Gary, my mother and I packed our bags as soon as school closed its doors and we raced to the airport to board a flight to Germany. Ah Germany, the land of beer, rolling green fields, unusual meats… and my father, for a while.
When my brother Gary and I were younger, my lovely dad Luke spent many years in and around Dusseldorf working in the meat industry. We spent as much time as we could there but as soon as we became school-going age, our time became a bit more restricted.
However, as soon as the school bells chimed for the final time at the end of June, I ditched my bottle green pinafore and bolted to the airport so the Hade family could be reunited on the banks of the Rhine. And summers in Germany were almost exactly like you'd expect. Lots of bike rides, Käsebrot (cheese bread) for breakfast, spaghetti, ice-cream in our favourite parlour in town and barbecues in the pleasantly, balmy summer evenings.
A particular favourite was the time we visited Warner Brothers Movie World (pictured), where we saw Batman. The real Batman. That was also the first time we saw a real rollercoaster, and it definitely beat the waltzers in Courtown, which we had been treated to so often before.
And, if we were lucky enough to holiday there in December, Santa came to us twice.

The only real requirement for the hotel was that it had a 'Kids' Club'
1990s Kevin Doyle Around Ireland
Summer holidays meant shorts regardless of the weather, picnic baskets full of ham sandwiches and sharing a room with your family.
It seems funny now in an era when you can be in London within the hour that in the early 1990s a long trip was a drive from Offaly to Sligo or Kerry.
The car journey would go one of two ways: blissfully fine with a stop for ice-cream or blazing rows over the latest miniature version of Connect 4. Back then seatbelts were optional and there was no issue with putting four grown children in the back of a Renault 21.
We never went abroad. My father wouldn't have had the patience for dealing with Ryanair and I suppose looking back, with four kids, that was probably a wise move.
So instead we were like the World Cup - rotating between the Ring of Kerry, Yeats' Country and Bundoran. Never Cork: that was too far. Never the North: things were difficult up there at the time. And never Dublin: being from Offaly, we got enough days out there for visits to Croke Park in the 1990s.
Our family trips were usually in August and lasted three nights at most. The only real requirement for the hotel was that it had a 'Kids' Club' that would inevitably give out a T-shirt saying 'I'm A Winner' or something similar.
The weather didn't matter. The beach was an inevitable pit-stop. Bucket and spade… away you go.
Three days later we were packed back into the car and headed for home. Short and simple, but one heck of a way for a child to get good at Irish geography.

I totally get Congressman Lee Zeldin's refusal to hold the town hall meeting some of his constituents are clamoring for.
Facing a roomful of vocal angry constituents is hard. Been there, done that.
When I was a Riverhead Town councilwoman who had come out in favor of upzoning farmland, I sat through many town hall meetings where I was excoriated by farmers who accused Councilman Rob Pike — who drafted the farmland preservation program they hated — and me of attacking their way of life. They were angry. And loud. I also sat through meetings picketed by town union workers mad over an expired collective bargaining agreement.
There were plenty of other town board meetings during my four-year term that brought me face-to-face with sometimes irate constituents as I tried to do the job I'd sworn to do, so help me God. That's just how it is as a local town official. There's no escaping the people whose lives and livelihoods are affected by your decisions — decisions made at a readily accessible town hall meeting, open to the public, held twice a month, where your constituents live.
In his career as an elected official, Lee Zeldin has had the luxury of conducting the business of the people who elected him in a place far, far away — first in Albany, when he was a New York state senator and now in Washington, as the representative of New York's First Congressional District.
Legislators in Albany and Washington do their jobs, for the most part, outside of the view and beyond the attention of the constituents they represent. What local state legislators and our representative in Congress do — how they vote — is generally ignored by the press. Usually, they don't get the attention of national — or even regional — media on "big" issues. And local media just don't have the resources to cover their far-away activities in the state or national capitals.
So representatives like Mr. Zeldin are used to flying under the radar — and making appearances before friendly crowds when they're presenting proclamations and awards, say, or flags that have flown over the U.S. Capitol. They're not accustomed to hostile audiences.
Why wouldn't they want to avoid them? It's very unpleasant. And as a town board member, I had the luxury of a much more controlled environment. Because a town board meeting in town hall is not the same as a "town hall meeting." The latter is much, much more of a free-for-all, a forum without rules. And, as we've seen in recent video clips recorded from coast to coast, a forum without decorum.
Why would — why should — a member of Congress submit him or herself to a public flogging? Why convene a meeting where the chance for honest dialogue is probably nonexistent?
I get that.
But the congressman needs to understand that his constituents — even if they were a minority at the polls in November — have few alternatives. They can't show up where his — our — business is conducted and speak their minds. Nevertheless, they deserve to be heard and addressed.
And the congressman deserves to be heard and addressed, too — respectfully. He deserves a respectful interchange. No shouting, no interruptions, no mob scenes.
Unfortunately, when it comes to making the case for deserving respectful treatment, Congressman Zeldin has unclean hands. He sat silently at a debate I hosted in 2014 when a mob of supporters — many bused in by his campaign — shouted down and interrupted his opponent (then-incumbent congressman Tim Bishop). When I asked him to ask his supporters to calm down and be civil, Lee Zeldin just shrugged. So it's hard for me to take him seriously when — through spokespersons — he tries to make the case for avoiding the face-to-face interactions because, well, it will just be confronting an unruly mob.
I don't support unruly mobs. I found that behavior reprehensible in 2014 and I don't condone it now. It seems to be an in-person expression of the lack of civility permeating public discourse these days — discourse mostly conducted online. And it's awful.
Our congressman would do well to take a cold, hard honest look at his own social media messages before complaining that the constituents who demand a "town hall" only want a chance to yell at him. He — or whoever is managing his social media accounts — has posted hostile Facebook messages indicating that our congressman feels no obligation to represent people who disagree with him. These posts have been antagonistic and goading. They are immature and counterproductive.
I don't agree with Lee Zeldin on many, many issues and I did not vote for him. But he's our congressman and I respect him. I believe in citizens' right to protest, but don't believe it's right to shout him down at a meeting — and I agree with him that this would be the likely result of convening such a meeting.
Though I don't agree with him on many issues, I don't believe Zeldin is, at heart, a bad guy. I think it's worth an honest dialogue with him. And I wish that he and his opponents would give honest dialogue a chance. For real, and not just for show.
There is common ground to be found. There has to be.

1 Introduction
[2] One outcome of the recent retreat of Arctic sea ice is an increased potential for air-sea gas exchange. This phenomenon is particularly significant on the extensive Arctic shelves, where pronounced decreases in summer ice extent have progressively exposed the surface ocean over greater temporal and spatial scales [e.g., Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme, 2011]. Since the surface water of most Arctic shelf seas experience persistently low CO2 partial pressures (pCO2sw) during the open-water season, the uptake of atmospheric CO2 in these areas is thought to have increased as a result of sea ice loss [e.g., Bates and Mathis, 2009].
[3] In light of this increased CO2 uptake capacity on the shelves, there has been an emerging debate about the potential for the deep Arctic basins to absorb more CO2 as they become seasonally ice free [Bates et al., 2006; Cai et al., 2010; Jutterström and Anderson, 2010]. The southwest portion of the Canada Basin (adjacent to the Chukchi Sea) has already experienced a significant northward migration of the summer ice edge [Hutchings and Rigor, 2012], but Cai et al. [2010] showed the area to have a very limited capacity for atmospheric CO2 uptake. This low uptake capacity is thought to be the result of low biological productivity, surface warming, and a shallow mixed layer that can quickly equilibrate with the atmosphere. Based on their observations, Cai et al. [2010] concluded that the additional CO2 uptake afforded by continued loss of sea ice in the Canada Basin is probably minimal.
[4] This paper is an attempt to further test that hypothesis by examining the CO2 uptake capacity of the southeastern Canada Basin, adjacent to the Beaufort Sea (Figure 1). Previously, this region had retained relatively more sea ice in summer than the southwestern Canada Basin due to the southerly advection of ice within the Beaufort Gyre [Hutchings and Rigor, 2012]. However, in 2012, a dramatic northward retreat of the ice edge occurred (NSIDC Arctic Sea Ice News and Analysis, 2012, http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/), exposing surface waters in the region for an extended period of time. In light of this development, the objectives of this study are to assess the CO2 uptake potential in this region of recent ice loss and to compare our results with those obtained by Cai et al. [2010] to further investigate the atmospheric CO2 uptake capacity of the Canada Basin.

firstname.lastname@example.com Abstract Analysis is presented of the derivation in [1] of what is popularly known as E = mc2. It is emphasized that once a relationship, describing a phenomenon in the stationary system, is known exactly and with certainty, any theory that would derive a different relationship regarding the same phenomenon in terms of the same stationary system should be rejected out of hand.
In a series of papers problems in the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) [1] were discussed [2-5]. Probably the most important in this series is the paper "On the Simultaneity of Two Events" which, curiously, does not contain a single formula. In [4] a simple gedanken experiment is presented which appears to present a powerful enough argument to pinpoint the most significant, crucial problem in STR – the determination in STR to present the seeming as real. This paper is dedicated to the analysis of the derivation claimed in [1] of the inertial mass equivalent of energy. The derivation in question, unfortunately, is found to suffer from the consequences of the mentioned crucial problem in STR – the determination to present the seeming as real. Indeed, on p.61 of [1] it is clearly assumed that in the stationary system K the law of motion of an electron (say, the x-axis component) is
d 2x m 2 = εX dt
where x denotes the coordinate of the slow moving electron, X is the x-axis component of the electric field, m is the mass of the electron and ε is the charge of the electron. According to the First Postulate – "The Principle of Relativity" – the above law of motion will have the form d 2ξ m 2 = εX ' dτ in the moving system k (electron's own system), where ξ and τ are the
coordinates of the abscissa and time in the moving system k and X ' is the transformed component of the electric field. So far all is well and good – once the First Postulate is assumed to hold good there could be no objection to writing the law of motion of the electron in k in this way (cf. Addendum 1). Surprisingly, however, the further proposal in [1], namely, to apply the Second Postulate (through the application of Lorentz transformations) to "transform the above equations of motion from system k to system K", that d 2ξ is, to represent the transformed equation m 2 = εX ' , valid in k, in dτ terms of the coordinates of the stationary system K, leads to a paradoxical result. Thus, after application of the Lorentz transformations on d 2ξ m 2 = εX ' the form of that equation in terms of the coordinates of the dτ stationary system K is claimed to be*): d 2x β m 2 = εX dt
However, as already clearly emphasized above, the relationship between m , d 2x d 2x , ε and X can be expressed in no other way but as m 2 = εX . dt 2 dt Notice that each one of these components in the latter equation, namely m , d 2x , ε and X , clearly refer to the stationary system K and are not notations dt 2 for anything else but the mass, acceleration and charge of the electron in the stationary system K in the presence of electric field in the stationary system K. Furthermore, their magnitudes are fixed and are as defined at the outset d 2x when we wrote m 2 = εX . dt d 2x Therefore, any claim that the relationship between m , 2 , ε and X dt 2 dx can be anything else but m 2 = εX should be rejected out of hand and dt the theory that would bring about such claim should be discarded as invalid. d 2x Thus, a theory whose application leads to a relationship between m , 2 , ε dt
d 2x = εX while considering β 3 ≠ 1 2 dt (derived by STR) should be discarded. In addition, obtaining d 2x d 2x 3 3 β m 2 = εX for β ≠ 1 instead of m 2 = εX obviously is in a dt dt clear violation of the First Postulate – "The Principle of Relativity". Thus, d 2x 3 because β m 2 = εX for β 3 ≠ 1 incorrectly describes the relationship dt d 2x between m , 2 , ε and X , deriving, carried out in [1] (cf. Addendum 2), on dt its basis the expression for the energy of motion of the electron W , namely mc 2 W = − mc 2 (popularly known as E = mc2) is unacceptable. 2 v 1− 2 c If, however, in an attempt to save STR, one accepts that β 3 = 1 then and X of, say, the form β 3m the desired relativistic expression for the energy of motion of the electron mc 2 W = − mc 2 cannot be derived (cf. Addendum 2). 2 v 1− 2 c So, here we are faced with the same problem as in the case with the simultaneity of two events, discussed in [4] – results of derivations based on two postulates lead to a relationship in obvious contradiction with the truthful relationship, established as such at the onset. One can play devil's advocate and object that in the transformed d 2x ε d 2x equation 2 = 3 X the form of the second derivative 2 is the way dt βm dt an observer in the moving frame k is seeing it and not the way an observer in the stationary frame K sees it. But then, it should be definitively pointed out d 2x ε that the observer in the moving frame k "sees" 2 as 3 X and not, βm dt ε X only due to STR and this means that the said observer correctly, as m d 2x deceives himself by using STR because the form of 2 obtained by STR is dt incorrect. Any theory that claims to have physical meaning requires the
d 2x dt 2 actually looks like in the laboratory frame K and not what it just appears to him to be. Ships on the horizon appear as specs for an observer on the shore but no reasonable observer would ever insist that that is the actual size of these ships, just because they appear so. In the discussed case (as with the d 2x ships) we actually know from the outset exactly what the expression 2 dt 2 dx ε X , which looks like in the laboratory frame K, namely 2 = dt m d 2x ε obviously differs from 2 = 3 X for β 3 ≠ 1 . dt βm d 2x ε The above assertion, namely that 2 = 3 X , is an acceptable dt βm rendition, from the point of view of the moving system, of what in the d 2x ε X is as curious and stationary system is clearly established to be 2 = dt m untrue as, say, an assertion that it is acceptable from the point of view of a moving system 2 + 2 to appear as 5 in the stationary system. Because it is well established beyond any doubt that in the stationary system 2 + 2 = 4, any theory that will bring about a result different from 4 when adding 2 and 2 in the stationary system should be rejected out of hand. Thus, any theory d 2x ε which will claim an equation different from 2 = X in the stationary dt m frame will have to be abandoned out of hand. Again, however, the devil's advocate may object: "well, this d 2x expression β 3m 2 = εX has nothing to do with the stationary system. dt This is in fact the transformed equation just presented in terms of the coordinates of the stationary system. This is just showing what the transformed equation looks like if we choose to represent it in terms of the stationary coordinates. It is not true that it does not obey the First Postulate because the First Postulate causes the coordinates in the moving system to be primed. If we represent it in terms of the un-primed coordinates then the transformed equation may have any form." However, in writing not just anything else but these concrete
observer in the moving system to tell truthfully what the expression
d 2x , ε and X one in no uncertain terms expresses exactly dt 2 what the meaning of these parameters is. These parameters are not a substitute for anything else or are some arbitrarily chosen letters but are the mass, acceleration and the charge of the electron as well as the electric field in the stationary system. This argument can be seen clearly also by considering the straightforward methodology used in [1] when transforming Maxwell's Equations on p.52. Let us recall what that methodology is: The author first applies the First Postulate – "The Principle of Relativity" – by rewriting Maxwell's Equations in the moving system in the same form as their form in the stationary system, only replacing the coordinates and the fields with those of the moving system. Then, as a second step, he starts again with the Maxwell Equations in the stationary system but this time carries out Lorentz transformations on them to obtain the form these equations will acquire in the moving system k. And in the end, declaring the obvious, namely, that the two ways of transforming of Maxwell's Equations – on the one hand by applying the First Postulate and on the other hand by applying the Second Postulate (Lorentz transformations) – should give the same thing, he compares the two sets of equations and derives what he claims to be the Lorentz force (for the record, in [2] it is shown that in fact Lorentz force has not been derived in [1] despite the claim therein). Let us apply the same methodology in the case we are discussing here. d 2x First, apply the First Postulate on m 2 = εX to obtain dt
parameters m ,
d 2ξ m 2 = εX ' dτ
Then, as a separate exercise, apply the Second Postulate (Lorentz d 2ξ transformations) on m 2 = εX ' to obtain**) dτ
d 2x β m 2 = εX dt
These two equations pertaining to the stationary system K, namely
d 2x d 2x = εX and β 3m 2 = εX , "must express exactly the same dt 2 dt thing." Therefore, it follows that m β3 = 1 d 2x since in the initial equation m 2 = εX there is no additional function of dt 3 velocity v . However, if β = 1 , then the derivation shown on p.63 leading v c2 The above considerations clearly reveal that the relationship mc 2 W = − mc 2 claimed in [1] cannot be derived and demonstrates 2 v 1− 2 c the non-physical nature of STR.
Discussion This analysis is another illustration in addition to previously published arguments [2-6] of the fact that the claims by STR advocates that it is devoid of internal inconsistencies and that its falsifying can only occur through experimental testing are unfounded. No experimental testing is necessary to verify that a theory leading to an outcome that 2 + 2 = 5 or that Newton's m Second Law of Motion on Earth is F = a is an incorrect theory.***) (v ) f Nevertheless, as a separate exercise, it may be interesting to understand how the claimed numerous experimental confirmations of STR could be explained away. It has already been pointed out that claimed significant experimental confirmations (e.g. experiments with µ-mesons, Michelson-Morley experiment) which have been considered as crucial proof for the validity of STR are actually of questionable value as confirmations of STR [4,6]. Often the very existence of accelerators of charged particles is presented as a proof for the experimental confirmation of STR [7,8].
to W =
mc 2
− mc 2 cannot occur (cf. Addendum 2).
Advocates claim it would not have been possible to even build these accelerators and have them properly working if relativistic corrections are not applied in their construction. One can even hear them state that they see confirmation of STR every day, although it is true that one can also deceive oneself every day. In the standard literature on particle accelerators [7,8] there are sections dedicated to "relativistic particles", i.e. particles for which relativistic effects are claimed to be of demonstrable magnitude. Even accelerators of special constructions have been designed such as synchrocyclotrons whose construction is said to have been specifically based to account for such effects. The mentioned accelerators are large facilities involving complicated tasks to solve when building them which require substantial engineering ingenuity. One may speculate that accounting for the relativistic effects when such sizable engineering projects are conducted may be one of many concerns of comparable and even higher priority. It may be supposed that sheer historical tradition may have played a role in presenting the relativistic corrections in the standard texts as having the claimed substantial role. These are, of course, all speculations and further clarification as to why experiments with accelerators appear to be confirming STR is still outstanding and will be the subject of future communications. Probably, one may speculate even at this point that if the equation E = mc 2 happens to be confirmed as an empirical dependence it could be a demonstration of the peculiar properties of light and especially the peculiar dependence E = pc , where p is linear momentum, assumed for photons [11,12] and has nothing to do with STR. One significant problem that stands in the way of a pursuit to clarify, one way or another, the experimental aspect of the raised questions with STR is that access to accelerators is not easy, not to speak of the possibility to independently verify the relativistic claims through direct carrying out of experiments there. Thus, one has to rely only on second hand reports, usually in the popular literature, that such confirmations of the relativistic effects in accelerators are available. As far as the scientific literature on the subject is concerned, this author is of the impression (maybe wrong !) that studies specifically dedicated to verification of the necessity for relativistic corrections in the high-energy particle field are not abundant. It appears to this author that the culture and the tradition in this field of research requires the perception that relativity is firmly established and there are much more important problems to solve with the available accelerators (or use them for practical, say,
medical purposes) than to dedicate resources to insignificant and useless tasks of verifying STR. One example of a publication specifically dedicated to study STR effects in accelerators is [9]. However, as Petrov [10] has pointed out to me, even a superficial inspection of the widely cited paper [9] reveals that the five experimental points presented therein, used to show agreement with the predictions of STR, have not been acquired at comparable conditions. Could it be, in view of the above, that the large body of work carried out on STR and its applications has in fact dealt with illusory perceptions which do not conform with the real phenomena ? What is then the impression created in society of the great successes of STR due to ? Such questions probably have more or less a sociological aspect since they concern the way society perceives science, rather than having available rigorous scientific answers. Of course, if one wishes one can build beautiful and probably amusing constructs on such illusory perceptions – after all poetry and literary fiction are examples of such legitimate and necessary human pursuits. At that transcending the limits of science into fiction is especially to the liking of some popular writers and some audiences and this explains the tangible interest in the subject discussed – for some entertainment is of more value than the truth about a phenomenon and this is what sells. This author is of the opinion, however, that although there is a place in life for fiction, fantasies and fun, as far as science is concerned truth about physical phenomena is the goal and this must not be substituted by fictitious constructs presenting illusions as reality.
Curiously, when carrying out Lorentz transformations on Maxwell's Equations on p.52 [1], from which the expressions of the Lorentz force on p.54 of [1] emerge, on same p.54 the author requires neglecting of "the terms multiplied by the second and higher powers of
obtained (as shown in [2] this, however, is not achieved to any degree of approximation). Now, in the derivation discussed here (p.62 of [1]) the author prefers to forgo such analysis.
v " so that the known form of Lorentz force is c
The form of the transformed equation in K is as shown on p.62 of [1]; one may wonder how the cubic
β 3 , appeared, exactly fitting the requirement for the final derivation (any other form will not do).
Recall that STR was created only with a "pencil and a paper". Why, if there are problems with it, should it not be possible to reveal these problems with a "pencil and a paper" too ?

Addendum 1
d 2x ε = Note that whatever conditions (say, v << c ) the equation X is derived for in K, these dt 2 m d 2ξ same conditions apply when transforming it into the moving system k m = εX ' . dτ2
Addendum 2 We imagine there is a magnetic field in the laboratory frame K with components X , Y and Z . Suppose an electron of charge ε is stationary versus K. Then, the Coulomb force (say its x-axis component) which the electron will feel will be F = εX . Now, according to Newton's law this force has to be equal to the mass of the electron times its acceleration. We already said that the electron is immovable versus K so it appears that the acceleration of the electron is zero. We may, however, imagine a next, very close instant of time and we can write
d 2x F = m 2 = εX dt
We may carry out the same observation for the electron in its own frame k. In frame k the electron is also stationary versus k. However, we will think of some very close next moment and we may write
d 2ξ F ' = m 2 = εX ' dτ
The above considerations are made approximately as in [1] To derive the desired equation first a transformation from the moving frame k into the stationary
d 2ξ frame K is made of F ' = m = εX ' and as far as X is concerned the result presented on dτ2
p.62 of [1] is
εX = m β 3
d 2x dt 2
This is then substituted on p.63 of [1] in the formula for the energy of motion of the electron
∫ Fdx . Recall that the component of electric force along the x-axis, according to Coulomb's
is the x-component
law, is F = εX where ε is the electric charge (of the electron in this case) and of the electric field. Thus, when substituting we have:
∫ Fdx = ∫
= m∫ β3
d 2x mβ dx dt 2
dv dx dt
dx =v dt
is the velocity. Thus, we have
= m ∫ β 3vdv
= m∫
1 dv = m ∫ 3 2 v2 1− 2 c
2 1− v c2 3
dv 2
and multiplying and dividing by c we get
1 c2 v2 2 1 =m ∫ 3 d 2 = mc 2 2∫ v2 c 1− c2
We can also represent this as
v2 3 d 2 2 v c 1− 2 c 1
2 1 2 1 1 − v = − mc 2 1 = − mc ∫ 3 d 2 2 c2 2∫ 1− v c2
2 1 − v c2
3 2
2 1 − v d c2
which is
1 v2 = − mc 2 ∫ (−2)d 1 − 2 2 c
1 2
v2 = mc 2 ∫ d 1 − 2 c v=0
1 2
Once we have the form of the indefinite integral we may now integrate from
2 2 1 − v = mc ∫ d c2 0 v − 1 2
v =v
Ek =
mec 2 1− v2 c2

RPGs, simulations, and strategy games are my preferred genres, but I've played and enjoyed several shooters that prioritized story over gameplay (BioShock Infinite), explored the moral gray areas of violence as a solution (Spec-Ops: The Line), or whose sci-fi settings simply put things in a less problematic context (Halo). The timing of Hardline's switch from military fantasy to militarized police fantasy couldn't possibly be worse, either, in light of the ongoing problems in Ferguson, MO, one of the more egregious examples of a systemic cultural problem in this country that most video games either completely ignore or cynically tap into.

Commentary and reviews on games and gaming of all types.
Gaming's Killer App: Twitch?
it's the non-gaming aspects of the Xbox One that I find most intriguing because I don't believe "next gen" will ultimately be defined by graphics, and the first real example of that is Twitch. Per Google research, "Gamers are an important driver of brand engagement, as they create, curate, and share content." And that's where Twitch comes in and things get really interesting.
Xbox One: First Impressions
When it comes to technology, I'm generally an early tester, late adopter, especially when it comes to gaming. We got a Wii about 1.5 years after it had launched, and didn't buy an Xbox 360 until last December, but something about the Xbox One grabbed my attention from the moment it was announced. More importantly, though, it grabbed my non-gaming wife's attention, who then shocked me by pre-ordering it from Amazon the first day they opened pre-orders!
BioShock Infinite's Ambitiously Flawed Perfection
"Wow…" That was my whispered, slack-jawed reaction to the final 30 minutes of BioShock Infinite, arguably the most compelling video game experience I've ever had. It's not a perfect game by any stretch of the definition, and since completing the game, I've thoroughly enjoyed reading some of the more measured reviews that haven't been afraid to point out its flaws, but to borrow a phrase from Grace Jones, it might not be perfect, but it's perfect for me.
Why DRM is a Toothless Boogeyman, Ebooks are like Video Games, and Amazon is the Winner
It's not a huge stretch to posit Amazon as the reverse-Valve of the ebook world, constantly pushing the envelope in unexpected ways, aggressively experimenting with pricing, developing a core of popular franchises, while staying focused on delivering and optimizing the best consumer experience.

Barefoot in the Park | 1967
A newlywed couple moves into a New York apartment and must contend with a quirky neighbor and a nosy mother-in-law.
Jump to
Nancy Enterprises
Newlyweds discover the joys of marriage in their five-floor walk up in Neil Simon's classic romantic comedy "Barefoot in the Park" (1967). When conservative lawyer Paul Bratte meets the vivacious Corrie, it's love at first sight. But the marriage is rocky from the start and New York City seems to be against the young couple.


text: buickguy 0 Report post Posted October 8, 2007 I couldn't help notice that on buick.com there is a link to a Car and Driver article that says the stunning Riviera will be produced. Why would Buick post that article if it was false. I heard a rumor GM plans to unveil it at the Olympics in Beijing this summer for production in China and the U-S. Can anybody confirm?

Friar, Priest, Master of the Order
Born at Peñyafort in Catalonia around the year 1175, Saint Raymond was a priest of the church of Barcelona. He became a distinguished theologian and professor of canon law at the University of Bologna and while there joined the Order in 1222. During his own lifetime he was known for his Summa which he composed as an aid for confessors. Upon the order of Gregory IX he compiled the Decretals which remained in use until the present century. Elected third Master of the Order (1238-1240) Raymond served his brothers faithfully. He encouraged the friars to engage in dialogue with Muslims and Jews, established a school for the study of Arabic languages and the Koran and aided the friars of Our Lady of Mercy in their work in northern Africa. He died in Barcelona on January 6, 1275.

The first stop, between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, may not feel all that far from the big city, but in mood, it's a world apart. The Spanish Colonial, quasi-Mediterranean vibe is so strong that it's earned the nickname "The American Riviera." Most of the buildings are decidedly New World, though, built in the wake of a 1925 earthquake; in a classic silver-lining twist, locals took it upon themselves to reinvent the city with now-ubiquitous red-tile roofing and Spanish-style architecture.
Hand in glove with that aesthetic comes Ojai Valley Inn & Spa, a secluded resort on several hundred acres of wooded mountain valley. The whole enterprise is perfect for a long-weekend constitutional, all vintage adobe and sprawling, pristine grounds, not to mention the spa treatments or the championship golf course — and the greater Santa Barbara region includes mile after mile of Santa Ynez wine country.
A little farther north and things are getting good and slow; crowds thinning, windows permanently down, shoes beginning to feel like an empty social convention. Welcome to San Luis Obispo, the spectacularly beachy forefather of everything vintage and farm-to-table. Smack in the middle of the (highly walkable) historic downtown region sits Granada Hotel & Bistro, a revitalized gem of the vaudeville era given new life as a luxury boutique.
This brick-and-industrial-chic hotel makes for seriously scrumptious eats, leveraging the area's fertile valleys for unrivaled produce and, yes, plenty of top-notch wine. Hell, the whole region comes off as one giant tasting room. Once you're sated, make a beeline to Hearst Castle for the requisite tourist extravaganza, and then clear your mind of all that ultra-decadence with a kayak trip for two in Morro Bay — watch for elephant seals! — before the next stop.
Spiritual home of the Beats, this sainted swath of Bohemia demands a reverent approach. It's not exactly hard to muster the emotion, mind: just try to look nonplussed on the vertiginous brink of the continent, drinking in an absolute doozy of a sunset from your perch atop these untameable cliffs.
It all comes to its zenith at Post Ranch Inn, Mickey Muennig's inimitable Modernist foray into hotelry. Here, Big Sur's outsize mojo infuses the redwood Tree Houses (not an exaggeration) and Ocean Rooms (edging the cliffs, roofed with wildflowers) alike, as well as the infinity pool, 1,000 feet above the Pacific. Make time for a meal at Nepenthe, purveyors of intoxicating views and the famous, ground-steak Ambrosia burger, and pop in at Esalen, whose hot springs promise (and often deliver) a spiritual renewal.
Further north we come upon the Monterey Peninsula, and by extension, the storied Carmel region, comprising historic arts colony Carmel-by-the-Sea as well as Carmel Valley's gorgeous pine-and-oak terrain. Something of an artistic enclave, these regions have a long and fruitful relationship with the poets, writers, artists, and actors that have found a home here over the decades.
Expansive residences on the peninsula give way to cypress-lined, fog-shrouded beachfronts, then Steinbeck's expanse of rich farmland and even volcanic formations in which endangered California condors roost. Breathtaking in every direction, really, including the environs of Bernardus Lodge & Spa, affiliate of Bernardus winery and vineyard — and not a bad place for a bit of gourmet extravagance, either.
For all its eccentric elements, this town still has plenty of down-to-earth charm to go around, and classic California style to spare. This is, after all, where the surf craze found its legs (board?) — much of that just-shy-of-nostalgia energy is alive and well at the Beach Boardwalk, an archetypical esplanade complete with carousel, coasters, corndogs, and cotton candy. It's also about digging into the crunchy local aspect: nook-and-cranny artisanal shops abound, if you're the shopping type or even just feel like a splash of retro-chic.
Speaking of which, steer yourself towards Joie de Vivre's Dream Inn when you get a chance. It serves well as your Santa Cruz HQ, expertly balancing mid-century modernism with laid-back California cool. Perhaps foremost in the hotel's appeal is the private pool, which neatly solves the problems of public-beach overcrowding and chilly waters in one fell swoop. Gather your strength for one last push to…

Item description for Moral Action and Christian Ethics (New Studies In Christian Ethics #5) by Jean Porter, Robin Gill & Stephen R. L. Clark...Overview
How do we decide whether an action is right or wrong? Recently, moral philosophers have moved away from the claim that we can find one definite solution to every moral problem by means of clearly established moral rules. While sympathetic to their critiques of modern moral theories, Porter questions whether these critiques go far enough in offering a positive alternative to a modern view of the moral act. Instead, she returns to Aquinas, and seeks to reclaim his understanding of the moral act as a product of interdependent moral virtues.
Publishers Description
How do we determine whether an action is right or wrong? Until recently, philosophers assumed that this question could be answered by means of a theory of morality, which set forth apodictic rules for moral behaviour. More recently, however, a number of philosophers have questioned whether there can be a theory of morality in quite this sense. Jean Porter is sympathetic to their critiques of moral theories, but questions whether these go far enough in offering a positive alternative to a modern view of the moral act. She argues that the work of Aquinas offers an alternative account of moral rationality, in terms of which moral reasoning is understood as dialectical rather than deductive, and questions are resolved in a wider contect of ethical thought. The Thomist account of the moral virtues and prudence is seen to offer unexpected insights into the relationship between moral rules and the practice of the virtues, and so contributes to our own moral reflection.

From the introduction:
The Devourer is one of the oldest deities known, easily predating this age. The Devourer is not a commonly worshiped deity though. This fallen god does not have a proper church. Instead a network of mostly independent cult cells makes up the Cult of the Devourer as a whole. Among these cult circles there is no common leadership. All these circles are driven by one common credo though: The strong eat the weak.

Structural highlights
[CC14B_HUMAN] Dual-specificity phosphatase involved in DNA damage response. Essential regulator of the G2 DNA damage checkpoint: following DNA damage, translocates to the nucleus and dephosphorylates FZR1/CDH1, a key activator of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C). Dephosphorylation of FZR1/CDH1 activates the APC/C, leading to the ubiquitination of PLK1, preventing entry into mitosis. Preferentially dephosphorylates proteins modified by proline-directed kinases.[1] [2]

Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The Cdc14 family of dual-specificity protein phosphatases (DSPs) is conserved within eukaryotes and functions to down-regulate mitotic Cdk activities, promoting cytokinesis and mitotic exit. We have integrated structural and kinetic analyses to define the molecular mechanism of the dephosphorylation reaction catalysed by Cdc14. The structure of Cdc14 illustrates a novel arrangement of two domains, each with a DSP-like fold, arranged in tandem. The C-terminal domain contains the conserved PTP motif of the catalytic site, whereas the N-terminal domain, which shares no sequence similarity with other DSPs, contributes to substrate specificity, and lacks catalytic activity. The catalytic site is located at the base of a pronounced surface channel formed by the interface of the two domains, and regions of both domains interact with the phosphopeptide substrate. Specificity for a pSer-Pro motif is mediated by a hydrophobic pocket that is capable of accommodating the apolar Pro(P+1) residue of the peptide. Our structural and kinetic data support a role for Cdc14 in the preferential dephosphorylation of proteins modified by proline-directed kinases.

Theres no easy way to do this that I know of. You can refer to records in your table through your primary key, or use the record id supplied by oracle. But you will have to find a way to randomly select one of the values. You might try dbms_random.random to get a random number, and then use that to select one of your values somehow (either by determining odd or even, or dividing it by something? This is just a though, I've never done this myself.
select dbms_random.random() from dual;
