In collaboration with the British Embassy & the British Council in Athens
1950s London. In the kitchen of an enormous West End restaurant, the orders are piling up: a post-war feast of soup, fish, cutlets, omelettes and fruit flans.
Fifteen hundred customers an' half of them eating fish. I had to start work on a Friday.
Thrown together by their work, chefs, waitresses and porters from across Europe — English, Irish, German, Jewish — argue and flirt as they race to keep up. Peter, a high-spirited young cook, seems to thrive on the pressure. In between preparing dishes, he manages to strike up an affair with married waitress Monique, the whole time dreaming of a better life. But in the all-consuming clamour of the kitchen, nothing is far from the brink of collapse.
Arnold Wesker: The Kitchen
Arnold Wesker's extraordinary play premiered at the Royal Court in 1959 and has since been performed in over 30 countries. The Kitchen puts the workplace centre stage in a blackly funny and furious examination of life lived at breakneck speed, when work threatens to define who we are.

Field Notes for the Self
Field Notes for the Self is a series of dark meditations: spiritual exercises in which the poem becomes a forensics of the soul. The poems converse with Patrick Lane, John Thompson, and Charles Wright, but their closest cousins may be Arvo Pärt's tintinnabulations—overlapping structures in which notes or images are rung slowly and repeatedly like bells. The goal is freedom from illusion, freedom from memory, from "the same old stories" of Lundy's violent past; and freedom, too, from the unreachable memories of the violence done to his Indigenous ancestors, which, Lundy tells us, seem to haunt his cellular biology. Rooted in exquisitely modulated observations of the natural world, the singular achievement of these poems is mind itself, suspended before interior vision like a bit of crystal twisting in the light.
Praise for Randy Lundy:
"Here is a poet of whom one can say—quietly, simply, with gratitude—that highest of praises: the real thing. " —Jane Hirshfield, author of The Beauty
"Randy Lundy has entered the place where the masters reside…" —Patrick Lane, author of Washita

GREENSBORO, NC (WFLA/CNN) – A North Carolina college student who thought she was dealing with a ghost in her closet ended up catching an intruder trying on her clothes.
"Since I've been living here I've been having pieces of clothes missing. Like shirts, pants," the student, identified only as Maddie, told WGHP.
She says she also found hand prints on her walls and mirror.
Maddie is a junior at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and lives in an apartment near campus with roommates.
They all thought they were dealing with a ghost…until Saturday, when Maddie made a shocking discovery.
"I just hear rattling in my closet. Like it sounds like a raccoon is in my closet," she said. "I put my hand on the knob and I'm like, 'Who's in there?' And somebody answers me and he's like, 'Oh my name is Drew.'"
When Maddie opened the closet door, she says she found a man wearing her clothes.
"My socks, my shoes. Has a bookbag full of my clothes," she recalled.
Police identified the man as 30-year-old Andrew Swofford. Maddie says she talked with him to keep him distracted after calling her boyfriend for help.
"He tries on my hat, goes in my bathroom and looks in the mirror. He was like, 'You're really pretty, can I hug you?' But he never touched me," Maddie said.
Swofford was arrested and is now facing 14 felony charges including larceny and identity theft.
Meanwhile, the girls are left trying to figure out how Swofford got inside their apartment. They say their doors are always locked and they didn't see any damage.
They also told WGHP this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
Maddie says they found two guys in their living room back in December and contacted their leasing office. An employee told WGHP they changed the locks at the time but didn't file a police report.
Property managers are investigating to figure out how the intrusions happened.

Black pipes for gas transportation
Black pipe, looks black from appearance. The dark color comes from the iron-oxide formed on its surface during manufacturing. Black steel pipe refers to ordinary iron pipe and are mainly used for gas lines, it is also used to connect appliances to their supply lines. It is the pipe that is used by businesses and residential homes to convey their supply of natural or propane gas.
Black steel pipe is also used for fire sprinkler systems because of its strong resistance to heat. It is usually joined by welding or by using mechanical couplings. It can even be used instead of galvanized pipe in projects other than carrying water for drinking.
Black iron pipe is actually made of a low-grade "mild steel" compound. This gives it much better corrosion resistance than traditional cast iron piping. There are few standards that all black iron pipes adhere to. However, they are all made to handle natural and propane gas, which usually stay below 60psi. The standards that black iron pipe must conform to guarantee a pressure rating of at least 150psi, if installed properly.
Where to buy black pipe?
Black steel pipes and tubing are easy to fabricate, readily available, and cost less than most other metals. In well protected environments, the life expectancy of black steel pipe is 50 to 100 years.
We can supply many grades of black pipe or mild carbon steel pipe, including ASTM A106 B, A53 and so on. As a leading pipe distributor, we are not only able to supply new black pipe direct from stock or mill sources, but we can also cut pipe to your required length and add special coatings as needed. We can deliver black pipe and other carbon steel piping to nearly any location. We sell carbon steel pipe and black steel pipe in a variety of sizes, diameters, and thicknesses. Most sizes of our ERW, DSAW and Seamless Steel pipe are available with mill test reports and full trace-ability as required.
What's the difference between Black pipe and Galvanized Pipe?
1. Different coating.
Black pipe is made of steel as is galvanized pipe. The difference is that galvanized pipe is coated with zinc, while black pipe is not.
2. Different Corrosion resistance
The black pipe is a light coating and provides only the barest protection. Black pipe will rust outdoors. The galvanized pipe will barely rust at all.
3. Different costs.
Black pipe is cheaper than galvanized pipe because of the zinc that is added to galvanized pipe.
4. Different application
Black pipe is best used for gas lines, not for water lines because it rusts easily, while galvanized cannot be used for gas lines because the zinc can clog the lines when it begins to flake, galvanized pipe is the safer pipe to use in water lines.

Sitte I. von Strolch replied to RobertJohnson's topic in PZ UpdatesHello, thank you for Vehicle Test 22. For me sound for cars is fine - but the signal-lights didn't work. And when I try to sleep in my car I get this (tried different seats) >
@ddraigcymraeg > Thank you for this awesome AiO-Map-Pack. You a the best. I tried the same (for my personal use) before you started with it - I learned from the others AiO`s about the structure and started to merge all maps into one. But what you did is much better > Fixes for TWD and you moved 0_0 maps with "fixed" objects.lua - just awesome... BUT... I looked on every map and Map-pack on Steam-Workshop. And I miss some maps/cells in your mod *** 524301139 - South Muldraugh >>> You took it from the "old" AiO - but "678778880 - Kaputt, PA" overrides 3 cells/chunks of "524301139 - South Muldraugh" And I would move it 3 cells down too - otherwise it overrides some houses on "678778880 - Kaputt, PA". (see map at imgur) 860479137 - Valley Station Military Outpost >>> You took it from "786130456 - Survivors! - UPDATE YOUR ZOMBIE.zip" but i think if you use the "860479137 - Valley Station Military Outpost" map you have a "newer" ones. Just because when there is a map update, you have to wait that the new update gets into "786130456 - Survivors! - UPDATE YOUR ZOMBIE.zip" first. Just a suggestion. Cooper's Peanut Packaging Plant, KY - Viceroy_Cooper >>> You have it on your map (below "514427485 - Phoenix") - but not listed Found this one in "822745981 - TEK" and theindiestone-forums too. Orell, KY (Alpha 0.1.1) >>> I found this one in "822745981 - TEK" (but cutted) and in "706723474 - TerminusPZ" (better ones I think) - but I cant find anywhere else. Maybe it can be combined with "860479137 - Valley Station Military Outpost" (roads fits - but must be moved - see map at imgur). "Asylum, KY - Insane Asylum - Viceroy_Asylum" >>> Found this one in "822745981 - TEK" and theindiestone-forums. I think the building itself is integrated into "522891356 - Bedford Falls" - but it looks different in design. A maybe map Survival Island v 0.1.0 >>> I found this one in "822745981 - TEK" - but I cant find anywhere else (got deleted ? in theindiestone-forums... Would fit into the sea of "532252577 - New Denver, BC" (see map at imgur). Maybe a "Bridge/Road" can be made for this too? 836865041 - ND Maps >>> Thought this is just a AiO-map too. But this are 2 maps that border on "532252577 - New Denver, BC" (see map at imgur). 772777521 - South Wuxburg, US >>> The last map from Steam-workshop that is missing - looks half-done but maybe a building site/area... I put it on the imgur-map too. 656317317 - McDonalds, Westpoint >>> A FastFood into the wilderness ^^ Maybe somewhere closer to a town when possible. *** Here is a map i made for suggestion > http://imgur.com/a/xoyqV *** Other AiO`s (maybe for compare) >>> 706723474 - TerminusPZ by Grumpy <<< http://imgur.com/a/Mzxa4 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=822745981 822745981 - TEK by Hunter <<< http://imgur.com/a/qvqEZ http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=655062253 655062253 - All in Zomboid Map Pack by Atlas1205 <<< http://imgur.com/a/it9Ox http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=866374030 *** Again > Thank you for your great and hard work to make this nice AiO-map-pack The maps i made can be used if you want.

How to Change Domain Nameservers
There comes a time when you decide to either start a website or transfer a website from one host to another. On both occasions you need new hosting and you need to transfer your files to the new host. You also need to tell your domain name where to point to – you need to change your Domain Name Servers or DNS.
The Domain name system nameservers or DNS information is specified by your hosting provider. You can find it either in your account control panel or your webhosts's faq page. If you are unable to find DNS information anywhere, contact your host.
By the way, if you have just bought your domain name, by default, your domain's DNS point to your registrar's parked page. If you are not using a domain, and you decide to not change the default DNS, your registrar is actually earning money from your domain's visitors' clicks.
The domain name server or DNS acts as the background of a domain name, helping domains resolve to IP addresses.
The following steps generally outline the process of changing your domain's DNS:
1. Log into your registrar account
2. Access your domain's administration interface.
3. Access the Change Name Server feature.
4. Enter new DNS information and save.
It is also important to note that some registrars might not provide an obvious way to enter both DNS name and DNS IP address for your domains. Check your registrar FAQ on how to use advanced DNS changing features, or contact your registrar directly.

Conte was criticised for "humiliating" Jose Mourinho by whipping up the crowd as Chelsea thrashed Manchester United4-0.
But the Italian claims he was not showing disrespect to Mourinho – and insists he will be just as passionate at West Ham despite fears over potential crowd trouble.
Conte said: "I think that everyone must show respect for me, for my work and my job. In every job, I show myself. Not here only one game.
"I have a history. You can see my past behaviour on the bench. It's normal. I am a passionate man, I showed this on the pitch in the past.
"I want to stay very close to my players and to support them, also when we are in a situation where we are suffering. But I always show respect for the opponent and my history speaks for me.
"I want to stay close with my players, to play with them and also in situations when we are suffering. But I always show respect for the opponent and my history shows this.
"I hope to see a good atmosphere. I know these two teams are big rivals but in England the atmosphere is fantastic during the match and I hope to see this tomorrow."
Conte even joked that he should fit right in at the London Stadium, which is full of wide open spaces, because his technical area at Stamford Bridge is not big enough to contain him.
He said: "If it's a bigger technical area than Stamford Bridge I am happy. I will have to ask the club to change my technical area!"
Conte will recall John Terry for the game and is also likely to start with Nathaniel Chalobah, with Willian and Michy Batshuayi also likely to come into the team.
But Cesc Fabregas and Branislav Ivanovic are still injured, and Kurt Zouma will not return despite playing for the U23s this week.
He said: "It's an important competition. We know this cup can permit you to see some young players that are working very well with us, to see the development of these players.
"We know this season we have only FA Cup and this cup to see the other players. For this reason, we can see some changes."

I'm not sure, is faceless kissing a good thing? A step up from wearing a paper bag perhaps?
This is confusing as well. Are those men about to throw Superman into a lake to celebrate his birthday, or are they … oh wait.
So when did Transformers start controlling our children's education? Did no one even think to send me the memo? I guess the Target Masters are for that new fangled early examination fad. It'll never last.
The only Strange Tale I'm hoping resides beyond this cover is how someone came up with those costumes. Although, to be fair, it looks as though the Black Cat has her usual costume on backwards. But Dagger? Really?

Twitching your Antennas: The Role of Small Cells in 5G Deployments
This year we will start to see the transition to the fifth generation wireless networks – known as 5G. For example, Etisalat, the UAE's biggest telecom operator, is already upgrading its network and infrastructure to be ready to provide the service as soon as the 5G mobile handsets are available in UAE.
5G is expected to deliver data upload and download speeds that are ten times faster than the current 4G (LTE – Long-Term Evolution) networks.
This big technology shift is not just about faster mobile. 5G will be important in facilitating the 'Internet of Things' – the network that will link not just our phones and computers but all manner of consumer products and infrastructure in our smart homes and smart cities.
A key factor in enabling 5G will likely be the use of low-power antennas known as 'small cells' and DAS (distributed antenna systems).
Such antenna have a very short range. Consequently, to reach the full potential of 5G technology, wireless providers will need to deploy thousands of small cells in communities across the countries in which they operate.
Etisalat has publically announced it is setting up some 600 small cell sites this year alone.
While wireless providers will likely engage with municipalities to locate small cells on lampposts, and traffic lights in public areas, in large private property developments and in high rise buildings the wireless providers will need agreements with the property owners to deploy small cells/DAS.
What are the Advantages of 5G?
5G will provide further benefits to consumers in three key ways:
- 5G will be very fast. This will be particularly noticeable in higher quality streaming video. Downloading a typical length movie, which can take six minutes using 4G, could take less than 20 seconds with 5G;
- 5G has low latency, or a low lag in time between a request and a response. 5G can cut response times down to one to two milliseconds (0.0001 or 0.0002 seconds). 4G's average response time is 50ms (0.05 seconds). If have an autonomous car, you do not want latency times to be too long; and
- 5G will offer connection density up to 100 times greater than 4G. That means people will be able to communicate at the same time without crowding out others.
The Importance of Small Cells and DAS
5G technology will, at least in part, utilise the part of the radio frequency spectrum between microwaves and infrared waves, which while providing a stronger connection, only supports service over short distances. Generally high-band radio spectrum is only useful for covering about 200 metres, (roughly a city block)
High band spectrum is less crowded than lower frequencies used by mobile phones, but there are disadvantages. At higher frequencies, signals are not as strong and experience interference from obstacles such as walls and trees.
Small cells and DAS will play key roles in boosting 5G network density – as the solution is to set up smaller antennas everywhere – on utility poles, rooftops, and throughout the interiors of buildings.
'Small cells' is a generic term for several types of low-power antennas (including femtocells, picocells and microcells) that are typically dedicated to a single wireless provider.
DAS systems have additional management functions that allow them to support more than one service provider.
Small cell units are generally connected to a fibre optic network. Once connected, a single unit can provide service for around 30 access points in high-density areas, and can extend service to access points anywhere from 10 metres to over a kilometre away. Small cell units are the size of a suitcase.
DAS comprises cabling, small remote units, and antennas that are distributed throughout a building and linked to a central distribution hub, which connects to the radio frequency source used by the wireless provider. Through DAS, a provider's wireless signal is distributed to all parts of the building.
At present small cells/DAS are commonly used indoors, to provide adequate cell coverage to crowds at stadiums and conference facilities.
Cost Burdens
Deploying all these new antennas on mass will not be cheap, and, at least initially, commerciality and economics will influence where additional small cells and DAS are deployed.
Office buildings present a potential challenge with respect to who will bear the cost of 5G deployments. The quality of internet connectivity can be a key differentiator for landlords. When a tenant pays rent, they see wireless connectivity as a utility and do not want to pay extra.
All three parties (landlord, tenant, wireless provider) may have to be prepared to have to come up with creative ways to benefit from early deployment of the 5G network infrastructure in office buildings. Potentially, cost sharing may be one workable approach.
Location Agreements
Private agreements for locating small cells and DAS will not be ostensibly different from existing licensing and co-location agreements for telecommunications network infrastructure. Broadly, DAS/small cell licence agreements should cover:
- Description of the work. Installation. Location of DAS/small cell (and changes to location). Maps. Work standards. Removal on termination and restoration of site.
- Permit, Limitations and Restrictions. Limits of the authorisation. Requirement for the provider to obtain all necessary consents and permits. No real property interest created in any land. Whether the rights are non-exclusive. No grant or approval of co-location rights to third parties.
- Limitations and Indemnification. Limitation of liability of property owner. Obligation of the provider to indemnify the property owner. No interference.
- Insurance; Fees; Termination and Compliance with laws
Property owners need to be aware that the small cells/DSA will form part of the wireless provider's public telecommunication and may be subject to laws requiring sharing of facilities or sites.
First Phase
The new 5G network, which is a once in a decade upgrade, has the potential to radically change lives as a facilitator of the Internet of Things and smart cities.
We are currently in the first phase of the 5G launch, where the infrastructure for fixed wireless services and mobile services will be provided in selected locations. Some of these locations will depend on private property owners agreeing with the wireless providers as to where they can locate the low-power antennas needed for 5G to function.

K-Rail is a rail section produced from galvanised high tensile steel and is also available in a number of pre-painted finishes.
K-Rail is designed for use in stock yards (e.g. sheep, cattle, horses, pigs and deer), and also for use in decorative fencing such as house yards and farm entrances.
It has a number of other uses such as replacement bats for header or windrower reels.
K-Rail is available in five different thicknesses and two different widths to suit various applications.
K-Rail can be purchased in standard 6 metre lengths or custom produced lengths by special order.
Made from high tensile steel, K-Rail is strong but light-weight, durable and easy to handle and transport.
It is heavily galvanised for long life in harsh environments such as stock yards.
K-Rail is also very cost effective when compared with similar pipe, mesh or timber yards and is maintenance free - saving you money for years to come.
K-Rail is very friendly to people and animals. It is designed so that stock can easily see it when moving through and around yards.
K-Rail is quick and easy to erect using self-drilling screws and a power screwdriver thanks to the wide
fixing pan on each side of the profile.

Officials at the University of Virginia voiced their displeasure on Wednesday over being named the nation's number one party school in America by "gentleman's magazine" Playboy. Interestingly enough, they are specifically demanding a "recount."
The Charlottesville, Virginia school was put at the top of Playboy's party school list, beating 100 other colleges nationwide. The University of Virginia shares this distinction on Playboy's 2012 Top Party Schools list with another that they probably prefer: Being the nation's oldest public university.
"We are demanding a recount," UVA spokeswoman Marian Anderfuren told NBC News. "It's far more important for the university to be known for our academic achievements in teaching and research," said Carol Wood, another UVA spokeswoman.
Playboy's 2012 Top Party Schools list will be featured in the magazine's October college issue.
"Raise a glass to UVA, whose students know a thing or two about raising glasses and everything important to this list," said Playboy on its website. "The Cavaliers placed an uninspiring 16th in sports but more than made up for it in nightlife and sex, finishing number three and number two, respectively. According to our math, two plus three equals one."
Playboy's top party school rankings were based on 900 data points across three categories: sex, sports and nightlife, according to Playboy officials. Following the University of Virginia and rounding out the top ten are, in order: University of Southern California, University of Florida, University of Texas, University of Wisconsin, University of Georgia, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Texas Christian, and Ohio State.
Texas Christian, huh? Interesting!
Do you or did you attend any of the schools on Playboy's 2012 Top Party Schools list?

At Sensors Expo & Conference, LASER COMPONENTS will debut a new and improved pyroelectric detector, the LD2100 series, with differential outputs. Pyroelectric crystals simultaneously generate positive and negative charges on opposite faces, and our LD2100 detectors exploit this with a new amplification scheme. The LD2100 series is based the L2100 series CM current mode detector, and we plan to bring other differential versions of our detectors to market in due course. The pyroelectric detector that not only gives double the signal compared to a single ended detector when used with a differential amplifier, but the noise only increases by √2. This produces an improvement in signal to noise ratio of around 1.4. Pyroelectric detectors with a differential amplifier have two additional advantages. External interference signals are eliminated by signal subtraction. Thus, they can be used in critical environments with electric fields. Furthermore, the LD2100 series makes simple wiring possible, with which the signal outputs are connected directly to the inputs of the differential AD converter. The components are inexpensive, reliable, robust, and are highly sensitive from short to long IR wavelengths as thermal detectors. For more information, go to http://www.lasercomponents.com/lc/product/differential-pyroelectric-detector. Come see them at Sensors Expo & Conference, June 28 - 29, 2017, San Jose, CA, USA, Booth 225.

After a slow season so far by his standards, Neville Fickling was relived when a trip to Chew Valley produced the goods.
I knew one day that I'd have a bad fishing season and the one we are in now looks like being one. The zander fishing was slow. None caught! The catting was slow, one caught and although I caught a lot of rudd I only had a couple of twos.
The pike fishing looked like being dire as well but luckily Chew Valley came to the rescue with this 28-04. I was pretty pleased with this but the fishing is so good some people go home wishing they had caught a bigger pike when they have had a 28. Not me folks!
I've not given up though, usually things come right eventually. A lot of the waters I fish have just the one big fish in them and like most things it takes time, so watch this space.

Life-long Democrat Jerry Springer says, for the first time in his 73-years, the very idea of what America stands for is being challenged.
Springer, a long-time TV talk show host, was in Normal to emcee a stage production of The Price Is Right, and also took time to speak to School of Communication students at Illinois State University. He also spoke with Willis Kern during an edition of Sound Ideas.
Springer, whose first foray into national politics was as an advisor to 1968 presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, said America is the only country in the world to be created by an idea.
"Every other country starts out by being some kind of tribe, ethnic group, race or whatever. Maybe they get some land and it becomes a kingdom or an empire. America started out as an idea and they created the country on that idea," Springer said.
In lock-step with that idea is the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Statue of Liberty, he said.
"Now, all of a sudden, certain religions aren't welcome here? It's so frightening and that's why you're seeing people taking to the streets. I'd like to think that most people want to keep that idea. But, we'll find out what the answer is," Springer added.
When he speaks to college students, he frequently challenges them to make a difference and pay more attention to their citizenship. Is that an easier sell these days?
"You can't be alive and not be aware of the fundamental changes that are going on in our country, which is kind of unsettling," said Springer.
The Jerry Springer Show has been a ratings bonanza for most of the nearly-25 years it's been on television. It's provocative and loud, but often deals with marital infidelity, race and LGBTQ issues. Springer admits it's only a side show to what is happening in America.
"The show is a circus and that's all it's meant to be. A side effect of it is maybe it opens up a set of issues to people who might not be otherwise aware. But I'm not pretending the show is something it's not. It's one hour of escapism," Springer said.
Springer's resume includes his TV show, as well as hosting America's Got Talent, guesting on Dancing With the Stars, he ran for Congress and was mayor of Cincinnati before concentrating on entertainment.
WGLT depends on financial support from users to bring you stories and interviews like this one. As someone who values experienced, knowledgeable, and award-winning journalists covering meaningful stories in central Illinois, please consider making a contribution.

Posts for tag: diabetes
November is National Diabetes Month—a time to focus on a disease that affects more than 400 million people around the world. What does diabetes have to do with oral health? Plenty! Here's a true-or-false quiz to test your knowledge on this important topic.
1. Diabetes and gum disease are connected.
TRUE. Studies have found a clear association between diabetes and gum (periodontal) disease, especially when diabetes is not well controlled. People with poorly controlled diabetes have a more severe inflammatory response to the bacteria that cause gum disease. While inflammation is normally a protective reaction of the body's immune system, too much inflammation can actually make the condition worse. In the case of gum disease, the reverse is also true: Untreated gum disease can worsen blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. The good news is that treatment of periodontal disease has been shown to improve blood sugar control.
2. People with diabetes can't have dental implants.
FALSE. Research has shown that dental implants can be a very successful tooth-replacement treatment for people with diabetes. But again, blood sugar control can be a factor. Dental implants are titanium posts that serve as artificial tooth roots. Minor surgery is required to insert an implant into the bone beneath the gums; a realistic-looking dental crown is later attached to it so it can look and function like a natural tooth. Studies have shown that it takes longer for the bone to heal around implants in people with poorly controlled diabetes. That doesn't make implant treatment impossible, but it does mean that it may be managed differently. For example, an implant may be allowed to heal for a longer period of time before a crown is attached to it.
3. People with diabetes can't do anything to improve their oral health.
FALSE. People with diabetes can have a very positive impact on their oral heath, by doing their best to control blood sugar levels with a healthy diet and exercise, and by sticking to an effective daily oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing twice a day for two minutes each time, and flossing at least once each day to remove bacterial plaque between teeth. Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also essential—not just for people with diabetes, but for everyone!
If you have additional questions about diabetes and oral health, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can learn more about diabetes and oral health by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Good Oral Health Leads to Better Health Overall."
People with diabetes have special concerns when it comes to dental care. In fact, 1 in every 5 cases of total tooth loss is linked to this widespread health condition. November is National Diabetes month, so it's a good opportunity for us to answer some frequently asked questions about oral health and diabetes.
Q. Can I get a dental implant to replace a missing tooth even if I have diabetes?
A number of studies have shown that people with diabetes can be good candidates for dental implants, but there are some concerns regarding dental implant treatment, which involves minor surgery. Wounds tend to heal more slowly in people with diabetes, who are also more infection-prone than those without diabetes. In diabetic individuals with poor glucose control, research has also shown that it takes longer for the bone to heal after implant placement. We will take these (and other) factors into account when planning your implant treatment. However, in many situations even poorly controlled diabetes does not necessarily preclude dental implant treatment.
Q. I've heard people with diabetes have a higher risk for gum disease. Is that true?
Yes. Research shows that people with diabetes are more susceptible to periodontal (gum) disease, especially when their diabetes is poorly controlled. The reverse is also true: untreated periodontal disease can worsen blood sugar levels. So it's important to manage both of these inflammatory conditions. If you notice the early signs of gum disease, such as inflamed or bleeding gums, please bring this to our attention. Early gum disease (gingivitis) is much easier to treat than more advanced forms—which can eventually lead to tooth loss.
Q. If I have diabetes, how can I protect my oral health?
Keep doing your best to control your blood sugar levels with exercise and a healthy diet—and stick to an effective daily oral hygiene routine, which includes both brushing and flossing and coming in for regular dental checkups and cleanings. Make sure to let us know what medications you are taking and update us on any changes. If you notice any mouth sores, swelling or inflammation, bring this to our attention as soon as possible.
If you have additional questions about diabetes and oral health, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.
Today, dental implants are an increasingly popular option for replacing lost teeth — an issue faced by many older Americans. It's not hard to see why these high-tech prosthetic teeth are preferred: They look, "feel" and function just like natural teeth… and with proper care they can last the rest of your life. Unfortunately, many people who could benefit from implants also face an additional health problem: diabetes, a metabolic disease that can affect many different parts of the body, sometimes severely. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to nerve and tissue damage, and may adversely impact your oral health. So if you have diabetes, does it mean you won't be able to get dental implants?Â
The short answer is no — but there are some considerations that diabetics (and their health care providers) need to keep in mind. For example, it has been demonstrated that wounds in diabetics tend to heal more slowly, and are more prone to infection than those in non-diabetics. Also, people with diabetes sometimes experience a chronic inflammatory response, which can eventually lead to tissue damage or other problems.
Because the placement of dental implants requires minor surgery, dentists and researchers have questioned whether people with diabetes are good candidates for implants. Now there's encouraging news: Several recent studies have come to the conclusion that many diabetics can indeed undergo an implant procedure without undue risk.
One key consideration is how well an individual can control his or her blood glucose levels. Researchers have found that diabetics with good blood glucose control, those with poor glucose control, and non-diabetics all have similar implant success rates (above 95%). However, in diabetics with poor glucose control, more time may be needed for the jawbone to heal in the area where the implant procedure was done. That doesn't by any means rule out the placement of a dental implant — but it does mean that special considerations apply to individuals in this situation.
So if you are considering an implant procedure but have trouble controlling your blood glucose levels, ask us how we can help. Just remember that in most cases, having diabetes doesn't mean you won't be able to enjoy the benefits of dental implants. If you have additional questions, contact us or schedule an appointment.

The German company presents the new line at the fair modum:
It 'was founded in 1912 but is one of the most innovative companies in the field of prefabricated houses High range: HUF HAUS
has chosen the Milanese appointment of MADE Expo 2013 (Pad Stand 2 F01 G02) to present to the public the new line
homes modum: a summary of design and construction knowledge.
The technology of the German brand blends fact the tradition of wood frame the use of glasses of the latest
high energy efficiency generation. The result is buildings of contemporary style, characterized by large spaces and
bright and with large glazed surfaces that give the whole structure an essential character and a seamless connection
continuity between exterior and interior.
In homes HUF HAUF nature seems to happen directly within the domestic space to be part of it in all respects.
Care for the environment is not limited only to appearance but is also expressed in the very low impact
energy of buildings, also thanks to a constructive system that eliminates any thermal bridge and does not use substances
potentially harmful to health.
Modular and fully customizable, The houses HUF HAUS are always tailored in different
lines and realized "Keys in hand".
The advice, on request, can also be extended to the design of the interior (including saunas and swimming pools!)
without neglecting the necessary building procedures.
The company designs and builds prefabricated houses tailored aimed at a market of medium-high.
To date there have been built over 10.000 worldwide, 800 in Switzerland alone, and achievements continue with a
rhythm of 3 new housing per week. Production is concentrated in Germany where the company employs about 450
collaborators who develop customized housing solutions based on customer requests.
To HUF HAUS is a real "System house" that includes every element of the house: the design of the garage and the kitchen; cabinets and furniture of each room to the realization of wellness facilities, indoor and outdoor pools.

Most of us have at least one project that has left us with leftover "stuff".
Maybe it was last years project, but somehow there is that stuff that is too good to throw out.
Now it sits stashed against the foundation or tucked under the deck awaiting the chance to be useful again.
This stuff is also great for ants and termites to nest under and can give them easy access to your home. It's also a haven for ground dwelling spiders and rodents.
Wood stored on the ground will eventually rot even if it is pressure treated. Items stacked against the walls of your home reduce air flow and trap moisture in the wall.
If items must be stored outside they should be kept at least 12 inches from walls. They should also be placed on some form of decay resistant support to isolate them from the soil and discourage ant and termite activity.

During the night of October 26 – 27, we burned three vehicles in via Jean Perrot in Grenoble, i.e. a vehicle of the SPIE (a company that gets rich building prisons), a private security company car, and a Schindler vehicle. We also tried to set fire to a Jaguar but, for unknown reasons, it seems that it came out with just some trace on the bodywork and with the tires down.
With this gesture, we want to send our solidarity to Ghespe and Paska, presently detained in Italy following the wave of arrests last August, and the two imprisoned for the story of burnt cop-mobile. We also welcome the recent attacks on the cops in Limoges, Clermont and Isère, and we express our support for the anonymous incendiaries.

Behind The Scenes of TMHS Clubs
September 23, 2019
When coming to Tewksbury Memorial High School, it is clear to see the numerous clubs you can join. I sat down with some of the members to get the inside scoop of what it's like to join a few of these clubs in order to find out what they're all about. The groups I had the honor of getting to know include Student Council, SAAD, Drama, and GSA. First, I sat down with Student Council Vice President Lily Gigante, who is also a member of SAAD Club. I asked her to describe what the clubs are like.
Student Council is a group of students containing a president, vice president, and many more labels. "Student Council is really energetic," She states. "It can be confusing when you first join, but as you learn more you become aware of the opportunities that come up". She then goes on to explain that five to seven days out of the school year are used for field trips, and she recommends this club for people, especially freshmen, who are looking to get involved with the school.
Next, I asked Lily Gigante about SAAD club. "SADD stands for students against destructive decisions" She explains, "Last year, we were in contact with the police to advise against underage drinking." SAAD Club created a poster that was shown to younger schoolers, to advise against underage drinking and promote good choices. After this, she talks about how they have plans this year to expand that connection, and want to spread more positive messages while educating people.
After Lily, I went venturing out for more members of clubs, and found Joey Sarraf and Juliana Ricci who are in the schools drama club. To lead off, I met with Juliana, and asked her, like Lily, to describe the club. She explains, "Drama club is really an amazing group of people. Despite its name, the club doesn't have drama. The club honestly really feels like a big family." She also adds how it's a good way to make friends. Next in the drama department, I talked to Joey Sarraf. He described the club as, "A very welcoming community. We are very productive, but like to have our fun moments. The directors help a lot, and are always very kind". I asked him for any advice to freshmen, or anyone who was thinking about joining drama club. He says, "To join drama, you don't need talent. You will learn as you go, it'll come to you." The next show the school will be performing is Alice in Wonderland.
Lastly, I met with one of the co-leaders of the schools GSA, Sophia Madera. "GSA stands for the gay straight alliance or gender sexuality alliance," She starts. "It's a very accepting community. We try to always keep it laid back for a stress free group". She then goes on to explain how GSA is a good, easy way to become involved in the school and make friends. I also asked her for some advice to freshmen or anyone looking to join the club. "The club may seem scary or intimidating at first, but once you join you'll realize everyones just there to have fun and relax". GSA meets in the school's library on Wednesdays at two, and hope to do fun events like go to broadway shows and activities like they have in previous years.
Although I only got to sit with a few, there are still clubs at Tewksbury Memorial High School. Learning about a couple brought some information on behind the scenes of some of these groups, and hopefully inspired some to join or look into one of them.

The other concentrated on the patient support: Foundation Parachute.
|BOR the FILM
Bor the film
A taboo-breaking story, a quirky legacy. Verkroost Bor, 37, skinny, a body full of wounds and continuous pain... not exactly a story that people want to hear. But it's a special person with a lot of strength and self-deprecating...
'Bor' is a film about his life. His gift and sharp mind in an affected body wants to leave a lasting legacy. The documentary shows how this warrior deals with everyday issues like friendship, love, sex, ambition, life and death and how he can be an inspiration to us; healthy and less healthy stragglers. Many of you know Bor. He was the last year frequently in the media because of his turbulent life of pain, sorrow, loneliness, his search for love, broken heart and euthanasia. But Bor is particularly linger in our memories for his fighting spirit and bravery. The enormous amount of reactions to his media appearances, he showed an example for many. Unfortunately he, though still combative, his innate very severe progressive deviation still on his way to a undeniable ending.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Inside the Church of God in Christ's historic Mason Temple, several pastors gathered to draw battle lines against same-sex marriage.
"We stand today to put America on notice that we will not obey an unjust law. Same sex marriages, they try to claim to is a civil right. They hijacked the Civil Rights Movement and say it's the same thing, but it's not the same thing," said Rev. Bill Owens, the president and founder of the Coalition of African-American Pastors.
Members of the Coalition of African-American Pastors and other ministers stood side by side to say they will refuse to obey the Supreme Court decision if the justices legalize same-sex marriage.
Rev. David Welch, president of the Pastor's Council in Houston, Texas, was in Memphis to oppose same-sex marriage.
He said many pastors are prepared to call for civil disobedience as a way to protest.
"God created marriage between a man and woman and no Supreme Court jurisdiction can define this. We stand clearly saying we will acknowledge God's law no matter what the cost, no matter what the price. If they want to fill jails with pastors across the nation of every color, denomination and every size who will stand for the laws of God and his truths," Welch said.
Of course, others said they oppose the ministers' position on same-sex marriage as they await the outcome of the Supreme Court's decision.
"This is a matter of being treated fairly and equally by the state. It's not a matter of anyone else's business at this point," said Will Batts, the executive director of the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center.
Batts said this debate is one about equal rights for all Americans.
"I've never really talked about this as a civil rights issue and I know that has history, legacy and meaning and we need to respect that. This is about being treated the same as every other couple." Batts said.
Still, the battle lines are drawn as supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage brace for the Supreme Court's ruling.
"We are watching this story very closely. This affects a lot of people in our community. There are those of us in our community who've been married for decades and some who've passed away who never enjoyed equal treatment under the law and that's a shame," Batts said
"It's not about gay people, but same-sex marriage because we have gay people and we love them and some of my best friends are gay. We love them and don't dislike them. But when you go to same-sex marriage, you've crossed the line," Owens said.

Our Story
I am a corporate refugee… a CFO turned chicken whisperer. I traded in early morning meetings in the board room for quiet mornings in the chicken coop.
Feathers and Fun provides high quality, fresh, local eating eggs as well as hatching eggs and chicks from heirloom and landrace breed chickens.
Our chickens are fed a diet high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids… things like fresh kale, spinach & arugula; Ladino clover; flax, chia & black oil sunflower seeds; fresh fruits; oat & rye flakes; meal worms, grubs & crickets… and supplemented with high quality poultry feed as needed.
Our ever growing flock is given time to free-range on a daily basis, weather permitting. We free-range small portions of our flock at a time so we can supervise them and keep them safe from predators.
All of our chickens have names, and most of them know their names and come when called. If you stop by our farm, you may even get a chance to feed the chickens some treats; they will eat right out of your hand.
Feathers and Fun is a Purina Poultry Featured Farm.

I'm participating in Star Wars ComLINKS, a Star Wars themed monthly link up. This month's topic is: Favorite TLJ Scene.
Since this month's topic is Favorite TLJ Scene, there will obviously be spoilers for The Last Jedi in this post. Read on if you've already seen the film (or don't mind major spoilers), or bookmark this page and come back once you've seen The Last Jedi.
The first time I saw The Last Jedi, I was in a theater packed with the most devoted of Star Wars fans. The audience laughed, cried, gasped, and applauded during the film – it was an incredible experience!
It took me a couple days to process everything that happened (so much happened!), but I already knew that I liked The Last Jedi. Sure, there are parts of it that have me scratching my head in bewilderment, but as a whole I found it to be an enjoyable film that moves the franchise in a fresh new direction.
At first I had a hard time deciding on a favorite scene: there were many moments throughout the film that made me laugh, and others that deeply moved me, but the one scene that I couldn't stop thinking about was the final showdown between Luke and Kylo Ren, not just because it is a stunning sequence but because of the deep meaning and symbolism attached to it.
Luke was fascinating to me in this film because as far as he was concerned he was done with being Luke Skywalker: Jedi Legend. All Luke wanted to do was hide out on Ahch-To and live out the rest of his days in a quiet existence. Obviously he wasn't pleased when Rey showed up and challenged him to rise above himself and return to being the legend the galaxy needed. It wasn't necessarily "Luke Skywalker" that was needed, rather, it was the concept of Luke, the hero who had defeated the Empire and saved the galaxy.
Finally, at the end of film, when almost everyone had run out of hope, Luke showed up with a lightsaber to save the day. He had come to terms that it wasn't about him, it was about saving the Resistance and reigniting hope in the galaxy.
Luke's reunion with Leia was beautiful and emotional on so many levels. I could probably do an entire post just about their reunion but this post is about his showdown with Kylo.
The face off between Luke and Kylo was brilliantly done. Luke had miraculously survived a massive amount of firepower from The First Order and come out unscathed; Kylo was unsurprisingly furious. I appreciated the contrast of Kylo's fury against Luke's calmness. Kylo used his rage to strike against the last Jedi but Luke was zen and evaded every attack.
While I did notice how different (younger) Luke looked during the confrontation, there were details that escaped my attention upon the first viewing. Watching the film a second time I picked up on the brilliance of the filmmakers leaving so many hints as to what was truly happening (or not happening). Film editor Bob Ducsay noted. "There are many small things that would give you some clues as to what's going on with Luke. He doesn't make a sound. Nothing ever falls on him. Kylo's lightsaber interacts with the salt, and Luke's doesn't." Another thing to note is that Luke's lightsaber was destroyed earlier in the film by Kylo and Rey, yet he has it when he confronts Kylo. It was the little details like that which made me appreciate the scene even more upon further viewings.
It was an incredible sequence to watch and one that pushed the story forward with Luke's sacrifice. Not only did Luke buy time for the Resistance to escape, but he also left the galaxy with one heck of a story to pass along. As the film ends we get a glimpse as to how his final act is already impacting the next generation, who have become inspired and filled with hope for the future.
While the ending to the film is bittersweet it does leave me with hope and excitement for the future of Star Wars. One of the main themes of The Last Jedi was letting go of the past and being open to the future; and, that is something I am embracing when it comes to this franchise. It may not go the way I think it will, but I'm along for the ride anyway.

2013 Château de Lascaux Les Nobles Pierres Pic Saint Loup, Languedoc
Score: 93/100
This red wine from the North-end of the Languedoc wine region, or the Pic Saint Loup appellation to be precise, is an organic wine, is a Syrah-dominant blend, of about 80% Syrah and 20% Grenache, grown on limestone soils with some silt and sand.
The wine was aged in French oak barrels for 12 to 14 months, before a further maturation in tank of about 6 months.
How Good is Château de Lascaux Les Nobles Pierres?
Tasting Notes
This Pic Saint Loup red comes in a pretty dark and intense red color, very dark and slightly purple to the core, you can hardly see through. The rim also features appealing hints of a purple hue, suggesting the wine is still youthful in its appearance despite its 4 years of age at the time of tasting.
The nose feels deep and serious, as soon as you make your very first sniff. Black olive, and some meaty aromas give it a sense of depth. Although, the dominant notes to the aromatic profile are mainly fruit, dark ripe aromas of red berries, blackberry and strawberry jam with a liveliness brought by fresh blueberry tones. Sweet-smelling notes of delicate vanilla and blond caramel amplify the appealing sweetness of the nose.
The palate feels very smooth, dense, utterly balanced, and composed.
This is a dry red, yet the richness of the powerful ripe berry fruit flavors make for a juicy balanced experience. The acidity is undeniably present, providing great tension all along the tasting. Tannins are fine and dense, with a granulous, slightly biting edge still, bringing the experience up to a salivating finish with a salty feel.
This refined Languedoc red feels like it is still a relatively young wine with huge potential to become an exceptional, utterly balanced, and complex liquid. All the elements of a great wine are here, concentration of flavors, acidity and tannins, elegance of all the aromatic expression, and more importantly, an absolute finesse, perfectly balanced between freshness and richness, tension and generosity, exuberance and control.
Give it another 3 years to further open and smoothen. Should age harmoniously an easy 10 to 15 years from there (2020 to 2035).
Enjoy 🙂

Mix the sauce
3/4t chile powder
3/4t chipotle powder
1/3c mayo
2T ketchup
4 cloves garlic, minced
I like to give the sauce at least a couple hours in the fridge to come together.
For burgers (mostly) standard Meathead procedure (per lb)
1/4t garlic powder
1/4t onion powder
1/4t black pepper
I add 1/8t ground cumin for these (per lb)
Salt and grill as usual. Top with your choice of cheese. I've used white American, cheddar, queso, etc. I kind of like American on this one. Top your melted cheese with green chiles (the canned chopped stuff is fine), bottom your toasted bun with the sauce.
You're good to go, or add more toppings to your liking.
Note on the sauce: You can use 1.5t chile powder if you don't have chipotle. It's still great. The blend is better though.

HSBC France seeks to cut 255 of 678 jobs in its French global banking and markets unit by end-2021 as part of a broader plan to reduce costs, a union said on its website.
HSBC resumed plans to cut around 35,000 jobs globally
The bank last month resumed plans to cut around 35,000 jobs globally which were put on ice after the coronavirus outbreak, as Europe's biggest bank grapples with the impact on its already falling profits.
An HSBC spokeswoman in Paris said the bank had presented a strategy for "Global Banking and Markets" to staff in France. "Its principle would be to reallocate capital and resources to overcome the structural challenges in this business, to focus on profitable activities, reduce the cost base and thus safeguard our competitiveness," the bank said in an emailed statement.
It added that its strategy was to be a leading international bank in Europe and to continue to have an anchor in Paris that would help provide access to continental Europe for clients around the world.
HSBC's FO union said on its website that the departures will take place on a voluntary basis, but if there were not enough volunteers, there would be "layoffs for economic reasons". French news daily Les Echos reported the cuts earlier on Tuesday.
