It is said that a smile is a curve that sets everything straight. But what can be done when our smile itself is affected due to a missing tooth? A lot, in fact. With the advances in dentistry, there is now a range of options to replace a missing tooth such as tooth implants and dental bridges. But whenever you talk about tooth implant vs bridge, you tend to get confused between the choice.
Here you will read about the differences between the dental implant and bridge. Also, I will help you decide which option to go for by addressing the advantages and disadvantages of each.
What are dental implants?
As it's literal meaning suggests, an implant is a thing inserted into another thing. In our mouths, it is a screw inserted into our bone, and an artificial tooth is placed over the screw.
The natural tooth is made up of two parts as the crown and the root. The crown is the upper part that can be seen above gums. The roots are embedded in the tooth sockets.
An implant also has two parts that mimic a tooth. An artificial tooth and a post that is fitted into the bone. The post is made of titanium, which is a metal that is best accepted by our body. (1)
After we lose a tooth, the space occupied by it becomes empty and devoid of bone, nerves, etc. When an implant is placed in that space, over a span of time, new bone begins to form around the titanium post.
One of the many reasons that implants have become so highly favored. This process is called osseointegration, where the titanium binds with the bone of our jaw and keeps the implant in place. This process may take about 6-8 months.
Once the titanium post has been surgically placed, and osseointegration is complete, a crown is screwed on top of it. This crown looks like a tooth and gives a natural appearance. Sometimes, the titanium post can also support a denture or a bridge over it.
Parts of an Implant
An implant has four main parts –
- Implant – It is a titanium post which is surgically implanted into the gum. It provides the anchoring or foundation for the new tooth restoration.
- Fixture – This is the part of the implant that fuses with the jawbone and is at the bottom. It is made of titanium and has a screw like appearance.
- Abutment – The abutment is the part just around the gums, once osseointegration is complete, it is screwed into the fixture.
- Prosthesis – The prosthesis is the crown or artificial tooth seen above the gums in the mouth.
Types of implants
Endosteal Implants
Endosteal implants involve two surgical procedures. In the first procedure, the implant is attached to the jaw bone, and time is given for the surrounding tissues to form around it.
Once this is achieved, a second surgery is carried out to attach the post to the implant, after which a crown is placed on it.
Subperiosteal Implants
As the name suggests, subperiosteal implants are ones where a metal piece is placed under the periosteum, which is the covering of the bone. Once healing is seen in this region, the crown is placed on top of it.
Pros and Cons of getting an implant
As is the case with every procedure, even getting an implant comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Let's have a look at some of these.
- Longevity – The most significant advantage of implants is their longevity. A well placed and well-maintained implant can last a lifetime, hence saving the patient from repeated procedures for the same problem.
- Aesthetics – Implants look very similar to natural teeth, and their final appearance can be modified to fit in with the teeth in the mouth.
- Osseointegration -The titanium post of the implant gets attached to the jawbone and stimulates the formation of new bone. Thus keeping the natural elements of the mouth intact and healthy, and preventing bone loss.
- Maintenance of Oral Hygiene – Implants are easy to clean and brush over. The area is accessible by a toothbrush, and there are fewer chances of accumulation of food substances as compared to bridges.
- Surrounding teeth condition – Placing an implant does not require any modifications to the surrounding teeth. Hence tooth structure is conserved, and the natural teeth are maintained in that state without any preparation.
- Cost – The biggest flipside of implants is their high cost. In comparison to bridges, or any other tooth replacement procedure, implants have a much higher cost, especially if multiple teeth need to be replaced.
- Surgical risks involved – Since placing an implant requires surgery, it carries the risk that is carried by any surgical procedure such as the risk of infection, harm to surrounding structures, damage to nerves, blood vessels, etc.
- Time – It is a time-consuming treatment modality, requiring up to 6 months for osseointegration followed by more time for placement of the crown.
- Adjunctive procedures – Sometimes, when the height or amount of bone is not adequate for an implant, some additional procedures may have to be carried out first to obtain a healthy bone. Bone grafting, bone augmentation, sinus lift, etc. are some of the procedures which increase the cost and time of the implant.
When can an implant not be used?
An implant cannot be used when the bone health is poor, or the other teeth are periodontally compromised. Implants are contraindicated in smokers due to poor bone and periodontal condition. (2)
What is a dental bridge?
A bridge is a prosthesis that is longer in span as compared to an implant. Unlike the latter, a bridge covers multiple teeth and is fitted over existing teeth around the missing tooth.
A bridge is made up of a minimum of 3 units and may extend to more, depending on the number of teeth to be replaced. Unlike an implant, it is not screwed into the jawbone but cemented over the gums with support from surrounding teeth.
For placing a bridge, the natural teeth around the missing tooth have to be modified by a procedure called 'tooth preparation,' wherein their overall size is slightly reduced, and a covering is placed over them.
This covering forms a part of the bridge and holds the missing artificial tooth.
Parts of a Bridge
A bridge is made up of the following three parts-
- Retainers – Retainers are the crowns placed on the prepared natural teeth, adjacent to the tooth to be replaced.
- Pontic – The pontic is the artificial tooth to be replaced, which is made of metal, ceramic, or porcelain fused to metal.
- Connectors – As the name suggests, connectors connect the pontic and the retainers. They may have a small metal framework for better retention.
Types of Bridges
- Traditional / Conventional Bridge – This is the most common type of bridge used which is usually made of porcelain or ceramic fused to metal, to provide strength. The bridge consists of the tooth to be replaced and a crown on the teeth on its either side.
- Maryland Bridge – In this type of bridge, a metal framework is involved in the supporting teeth, which requires less preparation of these teeth. The artificial tooth made of porcelain or porcelain fused to metal is attached to this framework. The entire system is bonded to the resin.
- Cantilever bridge – A cantilever bridge is a reasonably uncommon bridge which comes into use when a tooth is present on only one side of the missing tooth. Due to its unbalanced forces, it is not recommended in areas that experience high stress, like the back tooth region.
Pros and Cons of a bridge
- Procedural ease – The most significant advantage of dental bridges over implants is the lack of complexity of the procedure. It requires no surgical procedure, adjunctive procedures, etc.
- Cost – As compared to implants, bridges are less costly as the expenses of a surgical procedure, titanium post and other procedures are cut down. The materials and cement used in bridges are more economical as compared to the screws and other materials used in implants.
- Time – The entire process of fitting a dental bridge in the mouth requires a few weeks' time as compared to the implant process which may take from a few months up to a year.
- Short lifespan – Implants score over bridges for this main reason- bridges require frequent replacement or frequent adjustments due to the strain they exert on the surrounding teeth and tissues and hence have higher chances of fracture. (3)
- Artificial appearance – Bridges do not fully replicate the appearance of the natural teeth and look less aesthetic as compared to implants.
- Cantilever and Maryland bridges pose further problems like exerting forces on the other teeth and require periodic check-ups. (4)
- Maintenance of oral hygiene is harder with bridges, as they need special care while brushing, and there are chances of food accumulation under the crowns, between the gums.
Factors to keep in mind before choosing
- Cost – Cost factor is a significant criterion while deciding between implants and bridges. Implants are costlier as compared to bridges
- Location of the missing tooth – Specifically in anterior tooth replacements, implants are the preferred choice due to their natural appearance.
- Time – Both these treatment options differ greatly in the time required. Bridges required fewer appointments and only a few weeks' time to be cemented in the mouth. Conversely, implants require more time for surgery and about six months to be ready in the mouth.
- The patient's overall health, oral hygiene, and compliance are also factors that the dentist keeps in mind before recommending a treatment modality.
Over to You on tooth implant vs bridge
As we have just read, both implants and bridges have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Though implants are fast gaining popularity over bridges due to their long-lasting nature and appearance.
It is ultimately over to the patient to decide what suits them best in consultation with the dentist.

As another ski season gradually melts away, it's easy to look back both at this season and seasons past. I was reminded of one of my most memorable interviews a couple of months ago when I received word of the death of Jimmy Heuga. I was writing a ski column for another paper in the 1970s and coach Tom Reynolds called me from Farmington to ask if would like to interview Jimmy Heuga. My response was simply, "Where and when." He explained that all I had to do was pick Jimmy up at the Portland Airport and drive him to Sugarloaf, where he was scheduled for a clinic for junior racers.
It didn't occur to me to complain that it meant driving an hour to Portland, 2½ hours to Sugarloaf and an hour and three quarters back home. All I knew was that I would have an exclusive 2½-hour interview with an Olympic medalist. In 1964, Billy Kidd won the silver medal in slalom, and Heuga finished right behind for the bronze, a much celebrated finish for the U.S. Ski Team.
Reynolds told me that Heuga had been diagnosed with MS, but he hadn't yet announced it, so I never brought it up. When I revealed that to my editor after the story ran, he chastised me for leaving out the big part of the story. I told him I respected Heuga's privacy and when the time came I would write the story again. As it happened I have written several times about Jimmy Heuga, mostly in this paper, but his story was not the usual MS victim's story.
A short time after that ride, Heuga made a decision. At the time, MS sufferers were basically told to go home and live quietly. For this athlete, that didn't last long. He told his doctors he wasn't sick and he was going to be active. He started his own exercise program and returned to skiing.
He teamed up with Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail to start the Jimmy Heuga Clinic for the reanimation of the physically handicapped, whether by disease or accident. At the clinic, anyone with a handicap could spend a week, their condition would be diagnosed and the team would develop a rehab program. The idea was to help them continue to be active, while doing research that would help others down the road.
Heiga not only stayed active, he married and had two children. Heuga Express days were held all over the country, with skiers gathering pledges for each run to raise money for the clinic. Heuga traveled to these events and, as long as he was able, took a few runs with the skiers.
At the first Maine Handicapped Skiing Ski-A-Thon, my team raised the most money and we won a trip to Vail. I chose to go during the Jimmy Heuga Express. At the opening reception, Bill Kidd came up and introduced himself. Now everyone in skiing at that time knew who Bill Kidd was, but he never took that for granted. When I finally made my way to Heuga, and introduced myself, he looked at me and said, "You drove me to Sugarloaf." I was surprised, but I shouldn't have been.
The last time I saw him on skis was at Attitash at one of his fundraisers. He remembered me once again. Our paths crossed on several occasions over the years, and he always remembered. Instead of giving in to a debilitating disease, he fought it with a quiet determination. In that fight, he helped thousands of others make their lives better. Jimmy Heuga got more out of life and gave more back than most of the able-bodied among us. He will be missed, but his clinic lives on.
I was reminded that the first Ski-A-Thon was 25 years ago when I received word that this year's event raised nearly $305,000. Thanks to that effort and 450 volunteers, MHS serves hundreds of handicapped skiers each season, all free of charge.
Another old friend contacted me and told me about a new, hand-made Swiss ski. Sepp Gmeunder, who managed Sunday River from 1970-72 and installed the area's first snowmaking and first chair lift, called and told me about the RTC. As I was watching the video of the ski getting made I was prompted to call Maine ski inventor, John Howe, who had shown me how he built the Claw years ago. I was wondering if it was still being produced. He informed me that he installs his special plates on other race skis, such Volkl and Fischer and that there was one individual looking into producing the skis, so although "on life support, the Claw lives".
Finally, how fast have you gone on a pair of skis? Most advanced skiers travel between 20-35 mph. Some go faster, but even Super-G racers only get up to 60 mph or so. And that's on long, stable skis with boots that are an absolute fit and bindings that secure them to the skis with no opportunity for false release. Now think about approaching a mile a minute on cross country skis.
On Sunday, March 14, Carl Zurhorst, a senior at Mountain Valley High School hit 55 mph on Black Mountain's main trail, a wide run with a good pitch and a long run out to get back under control. Naturally I called to learn why anyone would make such an attempt and discovered a bright, articulate young man, who explained, "I wanted to do something no one had ever done".
It sounds like an incredible risk, but his background as an alpine racer and 10 years of dance lessons for balance, along with careful planning brought the risk within acceptable levels. Representatives from Guinness declined to certify the attempt, saying they didn't want to differentiate between types of skis. Zurhorst plans to appeal. After all lumping alpine speed skis with cross country gear is like putting VW Bugs in the same class as Indy race cars. Maybe they'll see the light and this young Black Mountain skier will get his record. Let's hope so. He certainly earned it. Happy Easter.

All about cycling in the Netherlands
Delft was the third city in The Netherlands to experiment with modern cycling infrastructure, aided by the national government. After the experiments in Tilburg and The Hague in the 1970s, where they built one very good (but also very expensive) cycle route, that had mixed results but didn't lead to more cycling overall, Delft took a different and innovative approach. Delft wanted to improve the city's existing cycle network, which had a lot of missing links. The reason for this area-wide experiment was the increasing modal share of private motor traffic. The city clogged up and couldn't cope with all those cars, it certainly wouldn't be able to accommodate even more cars in the future. Cycle expert André Pettinga, who worked for the city of Delft at the time, summarises the need for the Delft Cycle Plan in just a few words: "The local government wished to increase the modal share of cycling!". This cycle plan was a direct answer to the mainly car-driven Traffic Circulation Plans that had been made for many cities in the Netherlands, including Delft, in the 1960s. The execution of those plans was stopped one after the other, because of opposition of the public and changed ideas regarding urban planning.
André Pettinga is an expert who has been involved in cycling all his working life. He now works as an independent consultant operating under the name Cyclemotions. In the 1970s and 80s he was working for the traffic department of the municipality of Delft. André and I sometimes work very pleasantly together. I helped him guide groups through Utrecht for instance. Recently, I visited André in his home office in Utrecht, where he showed me the extensive archive he has on the Delft Cycle Plan with great enthusiasm. While we browsed through the cardboard boxes containing hand written notes, minutes, maps, leaflets to inform the public in multiple languages, hand typed reports, faded pictures and evaluation reports, André answered all my questions about the important Delft experiment. "We were determined to get a good network of cycle routes, not necessarily all on protected cycle paths, because we knew we couldn't afford that." André tells me, "And we already had good experiences with traffic calming of roads and streets." It may be good to realise that there was no 'zero' situation in Delft. The presumption was, there were parts of a network, but with many missing links. The network of the plan already existed for about 75% (this includes traffic calmed streets and cycling infrastructure on distributer roads). The modal share for cycling before the plan was already 38%.
The local government of Delft did an appeal on the regional and national government for financial support. The national government was willing to spend money on this experiment, because it wanted to collect new insights (technical and sociological) on how to promote cycling. The reason for that, in turn, was that the authorities wanted to limit car use. The government expected there would be more cycling when road safety would be improved on an area-wide scale. Why chose Delft? According to André this was the reason: "In the 1970s, Delft had already invented the woonerf-concept. Its succes was based on good governance, an innovative staff and succesful public participation. No other city in The Netherlands had developed such a thorough, fundamental cycle plan."
To investigate what the people in Delft really wanted, the Ministry of Public Works hired a German sociologist and survey expert. This caused quite a commotion in the world of traffic experts and engineers at the time. Werner Brög from Socialdata in Munich, investigated 4,700 households (Delft was a city of about 80,000 inhabitants at the time). It was an in-depth investigation. People were visited at home and they weren't just asked how they travelled where, they were specifically asked for their constraints, the reasons why they didn't cycle to supermarket X for instance. The answers were very concrete: "because intersection Y doesn't feel safe", or "because canal Z forces me to make a detour of that many metres". The response of the survey, 72%, was very high and helped the city to identify the most important physical, financial and mental barriers to cycling in the city.
The city found out that it wasn't just about the shortest routes for people. André explains: "People want transparency of their neighbourhoods and built up areas. A clear structure of the network that coincides with their mental map of the city. The informal connections, short cuts though parks, are just as important as larger bridges and underpasses. We learnt that we needed to give people multiple route options. People will choose their own routes based on their own motivation and judgement of levels of road safety and directness. That perception is different for every person."
But how can you provide a complete cycle network of a high quality, when you try to minimise cost at the same time? What can you do differently, compared to the expensive one route solutions in Tilburg and The Hague? The key was to identify three different networks that would be used for a different type of trips and that would require a different type of solutions, varying in cost from very cheap to very expensive. (Which is even then still relatively low, compared to investments in highways and metro systems.)
This identification of three types of networks was completely new.
For each of the networks all barriers and missing links were identified, and a solution was considered. These solutions were prioritized, considering the number of people which would use it and the cost. Providing links that shorten often used routes got a higher priority than measures that would make cycling "only" more convenient. Missing links can be very different. They can range from a large bridge, an expensive underpass or maybe even a stretch of 1 kilometre of missing cycleway. Changes to signalised intersections were also needed, e.g. by introducing special traffic lights for cycling. The (then experimental) introduction of a right-turn on red for cycling. Readjusting traffic light phases with separated or longer green phases, especially for the benefit of more vulnerable groups (in other words: longer green for the elderly and children). Sometimes it was possible to achieve the same result (a missing link solved) with fewer cost. Removing a few shrubs for a shortcut is obviously preferable over building a new bridge. "Most important in this weighing of measures was first and foremost the objective to remove smaller and larger barriers", says André.
The planning phase took place in the period of 1976 to 1979. A lot of stakeholders participated, the Chamber of Commerce, the Shopkeepers Federation, Schools, Homes for the elderly, the Cyclists' Union, the Traffic Safety Societies, a society for pedestrians and of course the public. After the Cycle Plan was approved in 1979, a subsidy was requested from the national government which was granted in 1981. The entire project would cost 70 million Guilders, but since this was an experiment, only the western and southern part would be executed. It would then be possible to investigate the differences between the area where the plan was implemented (and where the missing links were remedied) and the part of the city where the gaps remained. The plans that were executed cost circa 27 million guilders in total (which would be the equivalent of 26.3 million euros today, considering inflation). The list of larger projects was as follows:
Apart from these larger projects there was a special budget for numerous smaller interventions. Ranging from improved surface brickwork to bicycle parking racks which were placed at the request of shopkeepers. Every municipality in the Netherlands has such a (maintenance) budget and so did Delft at the time, but thanks to the Government subsidy that budget was expanded considerably and it was possible to have many more of these smaller – but very visible – improvements. The actual building phase of the Cycle Plan was roughly between 1982 and 1987. The Delft Cycle Network was festively opened on 19 September 1987 with the re-opening of the expanded underpass to cross the elevated railway near the railway station of Delft (which had been a pedestrian tunnel before). The Delft Cycle Plan was received with much enthusiasm, possibly thanks to the large stakeholder participation and the relatively low-cost for the many improvements. The Cyclists' Union, which had been very critical of the experiments in Tilburg and The Hague, was also very positive about the Delft experiment. This is quite a contrast to the fierce opposition that was met in nearby The Hague in their experiment just a few years earlier. To objectively measure the effectiveness of the plan the "before situation" was monitored in the years 1982/1983. A study of the "after-situation" was carried out in 1985/1986. Obviously at locations where the measures of the plan had already been finished. The results were presented at many conferences, amongst which ECF-VeloCity Groningen-Delft in 1987 and Copenhagen in 1989.
The effectiveness was investigated using in-depth household surveys and road side surveys. Resulting figures showed that the primary goal of the Cycle Plan was met: the modal share of cycling increased from 38% to 41%. Those figures deceive. This actually amounts to a relative growth of cycling with 7%, because at the same time the modal share of the private car had stabilised. The growth of local car use was indeed stopped. These results were very satisfying for the authorities. It also became clear that many people chose a different cycle route. The new shortcuts were found, bridges and underpasses were well used. People did not only chose the shortest routes, other factors were also important: comfort, surface quality, protection from wind, visual quality of the route, safety etc. These shifts in chosen routes also relieved the pressure on previously busy points, leading to a better cycling climate overall. The cycling perception was also improved. It was confirmed that the urban network was the most important network. Of all trips 60% took place on this level of the route network that only makes up 30% of the total length of all networks combined. Most improvements were made to this network. Thanks to the improved cycle network destinations further away came into reach of cycling, travel speed increased with 15% and the distance travelled increased with 7%, while the travel time did not increase.
With such a good track record it was only a matter of time before other cities followed this example. The success of Delft spread all over the country and even the world. André remembers guiding hundreds of people from The Netherlands and abroad in those days. Just like he did earlier; taking groups to the traffic calmed residential areas, after the world had discovered the 'woonerf', "which", André says, "is another Delft innovation". The foreign visitors nicknamed André 'Mister Delft'. The lessons learnt in Delft were studied nationwide, internalised and they ended in the Dutch guidelines for cycling infrastructure. Unfortunately, the Cycle Plan did not lead to a continued high interest for cycling in Delft. A bit like in The Hague and Tilburg, the interest in cycling was almost lost after this big project. However, if you go to Delft today you can see a lot of new cycling infrastructure, especially in the redeveloped railway zone. This includes the huge bicycle parking facility that I showed you earlier. The Delft experiment especially improved planning and providing for cycling in The Netherlands by demonstrating that a good quality and complete cycle network is a precondition for improving the cycle climate in a city, in such a way that people will start cycling more often and longer distances, in a safe and convenient way. André concludes: "Building urban cycle networks does really work."

Autopsy Shocker!
George Michael Didn't Die From A Drug Overdose
The singer's partner confessed, 'The truth is out!'
George Michael's autopsy report was finally revealed and the singer didn't die from a drug overdose.
The Wham! star passed away on Christmas Day from a "dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver," according to the coroner.
George was 53 years old and his funeral has been on hold until the tests were completed.
Many thought George's death was the result of drug use since he was open about his addiction in the past but he died of natural causes.

Background and aims: Pulmonary disorders are among the most frequent complaints of subjects in their working ages and may lead to considerable sickness absences and temporary or permanent disability. This study was conducted to follow subjects with probable occupational asthma referring to occupational medicine clinic of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This was a follow-up study on 95 workers with probable diagnosis of occupational asthma who were followed for 2 years after diagnosis regarding return to work. Data were analyzed by SPSS (ver. 20) using T-test and non-parametric tests.
Results: Ninety five workers with probable diagnosis of occupational asthma entered the study. After 2 years follow-up most subjects (82.11%) returned to their previous job. The results of spirometry and respiratory symptoms were significantly associated with return to work but, no significant association was revealed between age and job experience with return to work.
Conclusion: The finding of this study showed that a considerable number of workers with occupational asthma remain in their previous job regardless of their symptoms.

So, Twitch just released the Twitch Studio Beta, their own livestream broadcasting software. It's an alternative to the likes of OBS and Streamlabs OBS, so I thought I'd take a look at it and see what I thought!
On top of that, I wanted to share my first impressions of Twitch Studio Beta. So, let's take a look, shall we?
Please note that these first impressions of Twitch Studio Beta are based on Version 0.78.6.
Twitch Studio Beta Setup
The initial setup of Twitch Studio is really easy. To begin with, you simply download the software and install it. From there, it will ask you to log in with your Twitch channel ID. This means that connecting your new broadcasting software to your Twitch channel is quick and easy. That's a good thing, but honestly, it is to be expected by a program that Twitch made.
After that, the setup of your microphone and webcam is super simple, with an old school Wizard to guide you through the very easy process. You also get to choose from some of the default themes that Twitch Studio comes with. So yeah, that's a positive.
However, the themes are very basic and generic, so you're going to want to customise each "scene" with your own overlay, similar to in the other software. So, I decided to give it a go and see if I can bring my overlay across.
Building My Custom Overlay In Twitch Studio
My overlays are built through Streamelements, using their Browser Source links to pull it through to the software in use. Because of this, I was a little sceptical at first, thinking this wouldn't be a possibility. I was wrong.
Setting them up as a Browser Source (called Embed Webpage in Twitch Studio Beta) was very easy. You paste the URL into the box under the Webpage heading on the right and then click on the arrow next to that in order to get it to load. Then you can resize it to your needs.
With that done, the next step was to get my webcam set up correctly. Now, if you aren't using a green screen then Twitch Studio will automatically add your webcam with a simple border around it. That is great for when you are just getting started with streams.
However, if you are using a green screen like me, it is actually still rather easy to setup. In fact, the Chroma Key settings work extremely similar to those in OBS and Streamlabs OBS. It took me about 30 seconds of fiddling with the sliders to get it right.
Cropping the webcam is also very easy, as it cropping any other source, as Twitch Studio Beta actually features a Crop tool.
So, in terms of the base Overlay Setup, Twitch Studio worked very well and would be great for a new streamer. However, I did run into one major issue for my own overlay…
Twitch Studio Beta Lacks Window Capture
For those of you who have watched my streams, you'll know that I have Closed Captions in order to make the streams more accessible. It is also factored into the design of my overlay. It's a pretty important (and entertaining) aspect of my streams.
To achieve these Closed Captions, I utilise Webcaptioner, with the captions popped out and Streamlabs OBS pulling them in through a Window Capture. So, considering the fact that Twitch Studio surprised me earlier with its ease of set-up, I was expected a Window Capture of a specific window to be an option.
Alas, that was not the case.
In fact, the current iteration of Twitch Studio doesn't actually have a default option for Window Capture, let alone being able to choose which window should be recorded or streamed. This was a huge issue for me since I use Closed Captions.
Basically, without the ability to do a Window Capture for the pop out of WebCaptioner, it means that I can't actually use Twitch Studio. I need to be able to have the captions working, and since there isn't an option for it, I'm pretty stuck.
That said, the other capture options seem to work okay. For example, setting up Retro Arch was a breeze. So for everything else apart from the Window Capture, it seems to work well…
And That's All Folks
I'll probably do a full review of Twitch Studio Beta in the future, but for now, my first impressions are that it is a great alternative to OBS and Streamlabs OBS if you are just starting out and need a quick & easy way to get your stream set up.
However, if you need to anything more than the most standard of features, the Twitch Studio Beta just isn't there yet. So, here's hoping the developers behind it add some more modules to use. That way, if you're looking for something a tad bit more advanced, it will permit you to do that. Until then, I won't be able to use Twitch Studio Beta from streaming.
At least you can submit a feature request, which I will be doing once this post is live.

"Since I am dead I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotations."
31 October 2017
Filed under Book Reviews
Tags: The Broke and the Bookish, Top Ten Tuesday
Every Tuesday over at The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic. This week's topic is:
Halloween Freebie
I'm going to go with 10 books that you can either read or watch the adaptation for Halloween:
- Bram Stoker's Dracula – lots of adaptations for this and various spin offs. I love this book.
- Mary Shelley's Frankenstein – I love this book too. Thought provoking not to mention the inspiration for many adaptations. Let me know if you have a favourite. Strangely enough I love the comedy adaptation Young Frankenstein.
- The Shining by Stephen King. I saw the film long before I read the book and actually thought it was pretty damn scary – but, having now read the book – wow!
- I am Legend by Richard Matheson. Another great book that probably became the inspiration for countless zombie books and movies. Now, I'm not going to lie – I prefer the book to the adaptation, I think the film is a good film but I don't like that the ending was changed.
- The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle. Okay, not maybe so scary but a great read for Halloween and plenty of adaptations.
- Salem's Lot by Stephen King. This is one scary book and adaptation (i'm thinking of the adaptation that was in two parts). Brrrr.
- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. I like the old black and white version of this book – more atmospheric. Regardless of which adaptation you watch the book makes a great read.
- Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire. Both equally. I saw the film before reading the book and having now picked this one up I think the adaptation is really good.
- Carrie by Stephen King. I read this book as a teenager and I was going through my phase of reading all the horror and dark things – I thought the film was brilliant too – excellent performances by Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie.
- I've left this one blank so you can recommend something for me to read/watch
And, I'll leave you with these three:
Oh look, another glorious morning. Makes me sick!
10 Responses to ""Since I am dead I can take off my head to recite Shakespearean quotations.""
I loved the original Carrie and Salem's Lot. I think both of them, along with The Shining, were good adaptations. I did not like the remakes of any of them though. Nice topic!

Children raise awareness of plastics in the ocean by creating shark and seahorse from bottles
PUBLISHED: 10:00 23 November 2017
A 6ft shark has been made out of plastic by schoolchildren at a school in Worle.
The year three and four pupils have been learning about the harmful effect of plastic in the oceans.
The children, with the help of learning support assistant and artist Amy Davis, have created the Junk Jaws shark and a plastic seahorse which are based in the library.
As part of the topic, called 'we can make a difference', the children have been learning about plastic and how to save the oceans and marine life.
The youngsters have learned about the Cleaner Coastlines campaign being run in Weston-super-Mare, and they have written poetry and created artworks and crafts about the topic.
Their work also includes writing stories about explorers.
MORE: Learn about our Cleaner Coastlines campaign.
Later in the term, the children will also come up with their own ideas on how to stop plastic ending up in the sea
Has children at your school been learning about plastic? Let us know, by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com
You can also get involved in our campaign at Cleaner Coastlines: Weston and North Somerset Plastic-Free Campaign on Facebook.

A fragile alliance: the Congo crisis and Soviet-Ghanaian relations 1960-61
Autumn 2018
When Kwame Nkrumah published one of the first comprehensive accounts of the Congolese crisis, he portrayed himself as an advocate of African liberation, who had firmly and consistently pursued the line on Africanising the settlement of the crisis, supported left Congolese Prime Minister Patrice Lumumba as much as he could, and sought to rid the Congo of 'external pressure'. Until recently, this interpretation has largely determined assessments of Ghana's role in the Congolese crisis. This article puts forward a different assessment of events.

Grant, from Cast From Dungeon FX, has granted our inquisitive minds with answers about his creative role in Alien: Covenant and his practical effects workshop.
Clara Fei-Fei: Thank you so much Grant for taking time out to answer some questions. What got you interested in practical effects?
Grant: I was a big fan of Universal (Frankenstein, Wolfman etc) Movies, Hammer Monster Movies (Curse of the Werewolf) and of course Godzilla and Gamera and was always intrigued about the creatures and the makeup effects that went into creating them. Seeing Star Wars at the age of 12 blew me away and I was a14-year-old when Alien was released, although I wasn't allowed to see it at the movies I read about it and I watched it as soon as I could and of course, was hooked. I had been sculpting with clay from the backyard since I was a young kid, then when I was in my twenties saw an ad on TV for Three Arts Makeup School and did the two-year Makeup Effects course with them. The rest, as they say, is history.
CF: Could you tell me how you started Cast From Dungeon FX?
G: After I finished my studies with Three Arts I became a teacher there and then started working in the movie industry. While I was always busy with work, I always had my own projects I was working on and when I had built up a few different creatures I started taking my pieces to markets/bike shows and Chiller Theatre in New Jersey to sell the pieces. So I started the company basically to sell face to face but in the last 5 years or so I took it online and now I also travel to California to sell at Son of Monsterpalooza and this April will also attend the 10th-anniversary show of Monsterpalooza.
CF: What are other TV shows, movies or things you have worked on?
G: There have been many over the amount of time I have been in the Industry but a few of them are; Pirates of the Caribbean, Dead Men Tell no Tales, Gods of Egypt, Hacksaw Ridge, Pacific Rim 2, Superman Returns, Star Wars episodes 2 & 3, TV Miniseries – Childhood Ends, I Frankenstein amongst others.
CF: What's your favourite piece you have ever made?
G: For my own company, while I absolutely enjoy creating every piece I make, I would have to say my favourite would be the Nosferatu Wall plaque; I have been making him since 1999. It has been a popular piece ever since I first made it and it is even more popular today.
Professionally there are way too many awesome pieces I have been involved with to pick a favourite.

CF: For those interested in doing what you do, where do you suggest they start?
G: Taking Art at school would definitely help as well as an interest in art and makeup fx. For after-school definite training, there are some excellent Makeup effects schools around, Google and do your homework before deciding.
CF: What's your favourite Alien Sci-Fi movie? and why?
G: My favourite Sci-fi movie has to be the original Star Wars as that is the movie that got me interested in effects. My favourite Alien movies are the Original, Part 2 and Alien Covenant (sorry just can't split them).
CF: If you could select a body part to robotically enhance, what would it be? what abilities would you have?
G: As I have been approx 75% hearing impaired since birth, definitely Robotic Ears that would let me not only hear normally but give me super hearing so I could hear miles away.
CF: Which character is your favourite?
G: Curse of the Werewolf, it is one of my favourite Werewolf make-ups ever. Some of the most popular items on my website are the "Curse" bust and plaque.
CF: Which variation of the xenomorph is your favourite?
The Xenomorph from Alien Covenant (probably because I worked on the movie)

CF: Could you tell us about the pieces you worked on for Alien: Covenant?
G: I had the absolute pleasure of working in the Creature Department for Odd Studios and Creatures Inc UK. The management was awesome and allowed us to work on multiple pieces throughout the production stage, many pieces we worked on mostly a team effort on each piece. Some of them were: Some Charred engineers, Moulded James Franco in the pod, Moulded creature body of Neomorph and Xenomorph, Moulded Space Jockeys, Also had the privilege of working on various pieces in David's lab: Moulded the large egg and made multiple copies, there were many other pieces these are just a few.
CF: What does mould making entail?
G: Mould making is the process of making a copy of an item by creating a fibreglass/resin jacket with a silicon replica of the item inside, or you can make a mould with only fibreglass and no silicon. Inside of both gives you an exact copy of whatever the item is and you can reproduce a single item, or many copies at a cheaper price in more hardy materials.

CF: What sorts of technical difficulties were there in working on such pieces?
The size of the Xenomorph was a difficulty for sure but we were under such strict deadlines it made it even more so. Probably the deadlines were more challenging than anything else. It was such a privilege to work on the movie there was nothing we couldn't live with.
CF: What did you think about the movie? If you could change anything, what would it be?
G: I was pleasantly surprised when I saw it because I didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed the movie. All films have faults (small or large) but I honestly don't think I would change anything.
CF: What projects are you currently working on?
G: I am not currently working on a movie so I am working on projects of my own for the Conventions and Shows, my latest project being my Latex Zombie Masks. We have quite a few shows here in Sydney, Melbourne and Queensland and in April will be heading to Pasadena and the Monstapalooza Convention
CF: What would you like to work on in future?
G: Another Alien movie would be awesome.

Northeast Integrated Health and CNS Healthcare co-hosted the annual community Anti-Stigma Forum on Thursday, May 2, 2019. This year's topic for discussion was SUICIDE PREVENTION: A Paradigm Shift in Mental Health and was presented by keynote speaker Sean Campbell. Other speakers discussed the impact of the suicide epidemic with a focus on wellness, zero suicide in healthcare and the importance of education and awareness about the stigma of mental health.
Sean Campbell has devoted much of his personal and professional energies to the field of substance abuse and mental health. Growing up in a household with a loving father who struggled with alcoholism and bipolar disorder, Sean became moved to discover, understand and share what is possible by promoting positive mental health and holistic wellness. Sean has been involved in mentoring initiatives to support youth coping with mental health challenges, substance abuse issues and involvement in the criminal justice system. His efforts earned him the national Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Voice Award for Young Adult Leadership in 2014. From 2016 to 2018, Sean worked in New Jersey state government for the NJ Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse overseeing the statewide administration of the State's Municipal Alliance program. Currently, Sean is in his final year as a J.D. candidate at Rutgers Law School.
An afternoon SUICIDE PREVENTION WORKSHOP offering 3.0 CEUs for master-level clinicians was held at NIH's The Wellness Academy where approximately 100 people participated in sessions facilitated by persons in the community affected by suicide. Amy Stern, LMSW, CNS Healthcare, and Sean Campbell opened the workshop with the objectives to be covered and led the Q&A session following the discussions.
#1: Loss Survivor Support (facilitated by Carmie Buhalis, Kevin's Song)
#2: Parental & Family Grief (facilitated by Kevin Fischer, President, NAMI Michigan)
#3: Attempt Survivor Support (facilitated by Amanda Stein, MSW)

I go back to sleep at around 3 am this morning that is why I never knew that an accident happened while I was sound as sleep. I was shocked when my aunt told me the story. A distance relative was hit by a motorcycle. Good thing he is not badly hurt but I sympathy the driver of the motorcycle because he passed away in the hospital. [May his soul rest in peace]
Rumors say, that the motorcycle driver was drunk. Huh, if this is true no wonder he bumps the Pedi cab which was driven by a distance relative. Through this accident I realize that life is precious and we should take care of it. We can never say when our last breath is.
May this accident serve as a lesson to the driver out there to take extra careful in the while driving. Furthermore, avoid driving if you are in the spirit of liquor.

Here are 6 tips that I hope will create an affair-proof marriage.
Work on your Marriage
First of all, let me say that we all fall far short of God's glory and that none of us can ever be completely above sin and even a great sin at that. There really is no affair-proof marriage because the human heart is highly deceitful and desperately wicked and only God can know it (Jer 17:9). Marriage is a miracle and it takes a great deal of work so it's not what you can get out of marriage that makes it work but what you can put into one. It's not a 50/50 deal; it is a self-sacrificial way of life and dying to self and living for the other spouse in a loving, serving, supporting, and praying manner. Love is a verb; it is action-oriented. It's not what you feel as much as what you do. Anything that has great value usually takes a lot of maintenance and so marriage takes a lot of work. It doesn't just happen or work like gravity. You must be intentional. My wife and I leave each other "love notes" if we miss one another at home. If I leave home while she's still in bed or not at home, I leave her a note and tell her where I am at and always end it with "I love you." Love must involve doing and must include saying (e.g. "I love you"). This type of love takes work!
Bring back the Memories
What about making a date night with the family and watch some old family movies or your wedding DVD (or VCR) and enjoy the memories. Grab some popcorn and plop on the couch. I used to love to pull out our old family photo albums too and just sit around the living room looking and laughing at all the old photos. Some make us cry, some make us laugh, but they all draw us closer together by the string-tightening and strengthening of old memories. At that moment, you'll be making some future, joyful memories too. It's also a great way to see just how much God has blessed you with over the years as you look back at what you had to begin with and what you may have now.
Renewal of Vows
This is a very romantic way of telling your spouse that you'd do it all over again because you still love them as you much as you did on your wedding day. It does not need to be a huge, expensive event. It can be a small gathering of your closest family and friends. To have your vows renewed is like reaffirming your commitment to your spouse and declaring to them, "You'd do it all over again if you were given the choice." You can go all out if you want by sending out invitations to family or friends or just a small circle of people you want to be there to share these precious moments with. God made us with emotions and we come bundled with lots of memories so why not enjoy them?
Second or Third Honeymoons
I still have very fond memories of our honeymoon. My beloved bride is even more beautiful today than on the first date. As I have grown older with her, my love for her has grown stronger. She puts up with me so we know she must be special. I tell people "I married up" and I truly believe that. I'm not just saying that to flatter her. Anyway, the idea of a second honeymoon and to have it at the same bed and breakfast that we went to has crossed my mind more than once. Life just seems to cram so many things into our lives that we don't ever seem to have the time or the money to do it. What a shame. I should take time, not find the time. A second (or third) honeymoon, exclusively for the two of you, is a great way to strengthen your marriage.
Keep Dating
Once a couple is married and they return from their honeymoon, the honeymoon can be over pretty quickly, however it need not be this way. There is no reason you can't keep dating once you're married. Maybe you aren't able to date more than once a week anymore but that's okay. You can still have a date night, like a Saturday night or whatever night works best for your schedule and family. What was one of your favorite places to date? Why not go there again? Was there a particular place you met? Why not surprise them with a visit to that spot and pack a lunch? Keep stoking the fire by throwing logs on it. What you did to get it hot in the first place, do again. Age should not diminish romance, it should enhance it.
Do not deprive one Another
This is not just an idea of mine. It is in the Bible. Paul writes "Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control" (1st Cor 7:5). If you use sex to punish your partner over something they said or did then you are depriving your spouse of what God intended for their good and it could cause a problem of their being tempted to have an affair. It might even begin in an Internet chat room. Paul is clear about this by writing "The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife" (1st Cor 7:4). If you deprive one another, you are putting your marriage at a higher risk of infidelity and may be causing your partner to become tempted by someone else. It is always a very bad plan to deprive your partner just because you're mad at them.
I hope that these tips can help you create an atmosphere of trust and inspire burning hearts that desire to remain faithful to one another until death parts you. Marriages take a lot of dedication and hard work; they are strengthened by looking back at old memories; and by reliving where the couple first fell in love by taking a second (or more) honeymoon; by having a regularly scheduled date night; and by not using sex as a weapon in argument, thereby depriving your partner what is beneficial to them and to the marriage.

Can My Employer Make Me Work at Lunch?
Under federal law, your employer does not have to give you lunch periods, which generally last at least 30 minutes. However, state law might make meal periods mandatory. The state may also allow your employer to require that you work during lunch if certain conditions are met.
Federal Law
The Fair Labor Standards Act is the federal law that governs break and meal period practices. Under the act, your employer can make you work during your lunch, but it must pay you for the time. Meal periods are unpaid if you are completely relieved from your work duties. If you perform any work during your lunchtime, your employer must pay you.
State Law
If the state says your employer must provide meal breaks, then state law also dictates whether you can be forced to work during your lunch break. For example, in California, employers must generally give meal periods of at least 30 minutes after each five-hour shift that an employee works. An exception applies if the employee works no more than six hours for the day. In this case, the meal period can be waived by the employer and employee. The employer can make the employee work during her lunch only if the nature of the employee's work does not allow her to be fully relieved from her duties and if she and her employer agree to it. She must also be paid for the time. The agreement must say that the employee can cancel the arrangement at any time in writing.
No State Policy
If the state does not mandate meal periods, your employer does not have to give you a lunch break. However, it must pay you for all hours worked. For example, Florida does not require that employers give meal periods. Therefore, an employer in Florida can choose not to give its employees a lunch break and make them work during that time. It must, however, pay them for the time worked. In Texas, employers are also not required to give lunch breaks. In this case, federal law – which requires payment if the employee works during lunch – applies.
To know the conditions under which your employer can force you to work during lunch, consult the state labor department. If your employer violates the state's meal period law, you may file a complaint with the state labor department. For example, an employer who violates California meal period laws may have to pay the employee an extra hour of pay for each day the meal period was not given.
