Surgical excision of draining sinus tract
Dental caries result from the demineralization of teeth structure by acids that are formed through the degradation of food in the mouth. This leads to the breakdown of the hard structure of the tooth ultimately leading to the loss of the tooth. Teeth are attached to the bony socket with the aid of periodontal ligaments. Periodontal disease or gum disease leads to the loss of periodontal ligaments and supporting bone. This leads to the tooth becoming mobile due to loss of bony support. This also ultimately leads to the tooth falling out.
Dental caries is treated through restorations. When dental caries perforates into the pulp chamber within the tooth, it leads to infection of the pulp tissue. When this is not treated appropriately with root canal treatment, it will ultimately lead to necrosis of the pulp and abscess formation. When a tooth abscess is not attended to and becomes a chronic problem, it will ultimately lead to a sinus tract formation to enable pus drainage.
The patient had a carious left lower first molar filled a few years ago. Filling was improperly done with progression of the caries deeper into the tooth structure. The caries ultimately reached the pulp chamber leading to infection of the pulp. An abscess soon developed in relation to that tooth. The patient neglected the tooth for a long time. Symptomatic relief through the use of antibiotics and pain killers ensured that he never underwent any proper treatment.
The pain and swelling kept recurring on and off in relation to the lower-left permanent first molar. A draining sinus to his left cheek with granulomatous tissue soon formed at the site with chronic pus drainage. He presented to our hospital for surgical excision of the sinus through the utilization of facial cosmetic surgery techniques. This would ensure that no unsightly scar tissue would be left behind at the site of the sinus opening. Results for facial cosmetic surgery in India are on par with the best in the world. A facial cosmetic surgeon in India undergoes years of rigorous training.
Dr SM Balaji, facial cosmetic surgeon, is vastly experienced in cosmetic surgeries. He examined the patient and ordered a 3D CT scan of the left jaw. It revealed a sinus tracking from the distal root of the left lower first molar and opening onto the left cheek. He explained the surgical procedure to the patient who consented to surgery. He said surgical removal of the sinus was very important as it can lead to the formation of unsightly hypertrophic scars if not excised. Plastic surgery with the utilization of skin flaps would be required for the excision of such scar tissues.
Different types of scars require different types of scar revision. One such cosmetic procedure would be tissue expansion. Tissue expansion is most commonly utilized for breast augmentation. Excision of extensive scar tissue requires reconstructive surgery by a plastic surgeon. These surgery procedures come under the category of facial plastic surgery. Each layer of skin is carefully sutured to avoid unsightly scar formation. This is the principle behind face lifts. The ideal approach would be to avoid extensive scar tissue formation by meticulously closing the wound through layered suturing using resorbable sutures for the deeper layers and nonresorbable suture material for closure of the skin.
Under general anesthesia, a mucogingivoperiosteal incision was first made mesial to the molar. This would help expose the site of abscess formation at the distal root of the molar tooth. A flap was next raised to expose the sinus tract. The tooth was then extracted. All granulation tissue at the apical region was debrided thoroughly. This was followed by tunneling an artery forceps through the sinus tract until it reached the facial surface. Care was then taken to fully excise the sinus tract and the incisions were sutured. Adoption of facial cosmetic surgery techniques resulted in no scar formation for the patient. The patient tolerated the procedure well and recovered well from general anesthesia.
Postoperative instructions were given to the patient. The patient was instructed to keep the area clean and dry and to not pull at the scab formed at the area. It was explained that this was necessary to avoid any scar formation at the site of the sinus opening on the left cheek.
The patient presented a few weeks after surgery for a checkup. There was no visible scar formation from the surgery. This ensured that there would be no necessity for scar revision surgery in the future.

In Simu Liu's Memoir "We Were Dreamers," Marvel's First Asian Superhero Tries to Live Up to His Parents' Expectations
In an excerpt from his book, the Shang-Chi star describes telling his parents he got the role, and tries to trick them into saying "I love you." / BY Kim Honey / June 30th, 2022
When Canadian actor Simu Liu went to the 2022 Oscars in a custom red Versace tux and black patent leather loafers, he looked "smoking hot," a phrase he employs liberally in his memoir, We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story. In an intimate, conversational writing style peppered with F-bombs and lots of jokes, the guy Canadians know and love as Jung Kim on the CBC-TV sitcom Kim's Convenience digs deep into the pain of a kid trying, and repeatedly failing, to live up to his parents' impossibly high expectations. The boy who would be Shang-Chi, the first Asian Marvel superhero, spent a lot of time feeling like a burden.
Liu was a "left-behind child" – a term non-governmental organizations use to describe children raised apart from their parents – who was entrusted to his grandparents' care in the northeastern city of Harbin when his mother and father emigrated from China to seek a better life. When he was almost five, his father plucked "máomao" (a pet name for children, which, roughly translated from Mandarin, means little furry caterpillar) from his grandparents' home in Harbin, and they flew to Canada to join his mother. He started life here – in a new culture and a new language – with two people who were essentially strangers with no parenting experience.
Liu, 33, does not gloss over the verbal and physical abuse he endures from his parents, who never show affection. "I became convinced that my parents did not love me; they loved having a child who was 'gifted,'" he writes. And so, as a teenager, he rebels. When he gets into the elite University of Toronto Schools, he's obsessed with being "the cool kid on campus" and gets a disappointing 82.6 average; at Western University's Ivey Business School, he blows a chance to get a good summer internship; when he calls in sick to play Xbox and work as an extra in the Toronto film industry, he loses his accounting job. Luckily, the acting gigs pick up and, when he is 27, he lands the Kim's Convenience role.

An activist for more normalized Asian representation in the entertainment industry and media, and less racism towards Asian immigrants, Liu hopes his frank depiction of his family's experience will help others "learn from us and steer themselves from the same mistakes."
Liu did reconcile with his parents, and they were the first people he told about getting the lead in the 2021 box-office hit Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
"On that day I became more than just a comic book character – I became a part of an idea that everyone deserves to see themselves as superheroes, as the leads of their own stories, or simply, just as multifaceted beings with hopes and aspirations and flaws," he writes.
In this excerpt from the book's prologue, Liu relates the FaceTime call to his mom and dad to break the news, and how he and his best friend, actor Jason Chan, try to trick them into saying "I love you." —Kim Honey
After Jason and I hang up the phone, he races over to my apartment and we hatch a plan to record my parents' reaction to the news over FaceTime. He stands just out of my camera's view as I dial my dad's cell, anxious to break the news to the people who raised me. Like me, I know they've probably had a bit of trouble eating and sleeping these past couple of days. I want this call to bring closure not only on this movie, but to their entire lives spent in the pursuit of a better life for our family.
I want to tell them that their better life has finally come.
The call connects: "Wei, Máomao! What's going on?"
The moment I see my dad, a slender fifty-nine-year-old man with more salt than pepper in his hair, I feel my throat begin to close up. It's been thirty years since he left his home in China to eventually settle in a suburb outside Toronto – over twenty of which he has been a working professional with dental coverage – and yet, the man has never bothered to fix his horrendously crooked teeth. I think he was too busy paying for my braces, my education and my apartment to notice that he looked like a jack-o'-lantern whenever he opened his mouth. I should also mention that he cuts his own hair – don't ask me how.
"Hey, is Māma home? Can you put her on, too?"
Mom hates when people know her real age, so let's just say she's not exactly a spring chicken anymore. You'd never know it looking at her though – she's got a smile that radiates youthful energy and a flawless complexion that owes itself to religious use of Estée Lauder's Night Repair Serum. A white man mistook her for my wife many years ago during a family ski trip, and she hasn't shut up about it since. I don't have the heart to tell her that he was probably just trying to hit on her.
"Máomao! What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong, I, uh . . ." I take a deep breath.
". . . I just wanted to tell you that I got it."
It feels like eons before my parents respond. When my dad finally speaks, it sounds like someone's just told him his dry cleaning would be ready on time.
"Oh . . . okay! That's good!"

Four days from now, after watching a livestream of me walking out onto the stage of the infamous Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con to the thunderous applause of eight thousand die-hard fans, my parents would finally understand the significance of landing a role like Shang-Chi. For now, though, they are simply happy that I got a job. We talk for a few more minutes about stupid things like money when I see Jason motioning for my attention. Say I love you, he mouths. I nod, already knowing what my parents' response to this will be.
Exchanging I love yous was a uniquely Western custom, and I had long ago come to terms with the fact that my parents expressed their love in a very different way – by telling me to put on a jacket, asking if I had eaten yet, or yelling at me when they felt like I wasn't studying hard enough. The actual words were not a part of my family's vocabulary growing up at all.

Still, it would've been pretty nice to hear them say it.
"I gotta go, so I just want to say goodbye, and of course, I love you."
"Yeah, yeah – stay calm," my mother says.
"A new day has begun," my dad adds, wistfully.
Maybe they just didn't hear it? Just to be sure, I double down.
"I love you. Bye."
There's a short pause. Jason and I look at each other, wondering if one of them is going to prove us wrong . . .
"Yes, go go go," my mom says. "Thank you for letting us know."
"Yep," my dad chimes in the background. "Bye-bye!"
BEEP. The call ends, and Jason and I burst out
laughing.

Meghan Markle Made Royal History by Voting in the Presidential Election
Meghan Markle used her vote in the presidential election, submitting her ballot early by mail—and by doing so, she made royal history.
By Emily Dixon
Meghan Markle used her vote (opens in new tab) in the presidential election, submitting her ballot early by mail.
By doing so, she made royal history, becoming the first known royal to vote in a presidential election (or any election, for that matter).
"When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard," Meghan said in a September TV appearance.
Meghan Markle utilized her vote in the presidential election, reportedly submitting her ballot early by mail, according to Page Six (opens in new tab). And by doing so, she made history, becoming the first known British royal to vote in a U.S. election—or indeed, in any election. Members of the royal family are discouraged from voting in the U.K., expected to remain politically neutral, as Prince Harry noted in a September TV appearance. It's unknown whether American royal Wallis Simpson, who married the former King Edward VIII after he abdicated the throne, ever voted in the U.S.
An insider told Page Six, "Meghan was an American long before she was a royal. She wouldn't miss voting in this election no matter where she was living."
A post shared by ABC (@abcnetwork) (opens in new tab)
Appearing on Time magazine's TIME100 TV special in September, Meghan urged viewers to use their vote (opens in new tab) in the 2020 presidential election. "Every four years, we are told the same thing: that this is the most important election of our lifetime. But this one is," she said. "When we vote, our values are put into action and our voices are heard. Your voice is a reminder that you matter, because you do, and you deserve to be heard."
Harry, meanwhile, reflected on his inability to vote as a British royal. "This election, I'm not going to be able to vote here in the U.S.," he said. "But many of you may not know that I haven't been able to vote in the U.K. my entire life. As we approach this November, it's vital that we reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity."

The Warwick Town Board approved a motion to appoint Jean Corbi Ciappa the new Coordinator of Volunteers for the Warwick Friendly Visitor Program (FVP) at their monthly meeting held on Thurs., Jan. 17. Corbi Ciappa has served on the Board of Advisors since its inception late in 2016.
She was congratulated by Town of Warwick Supervisor Michael Sweeton, who recognized her professional background as an asset for the Town and conveyed his confidence that she will bring the program to a whole new level. Floyd DeAngelo, Town Councilman and member of the FVP Board of Advisors, pointed out Corbi Ciappa's history with serving as a volunteer as well.
At the same meeting, Vince Copello, Chairman of the Board of Advisors for the FVP, provided a year-end report of an impressive 1,968 volunteer services provided for a total of 1,396 hours with a total of 108 neighbors having been served by 61 volunteers.
The FVP is designed to offer supports for aging neighbors in our community to maintain their independence. The offer of supports by a neighbor also engages that person in the community and both parties have something to gain.
The FVP is still in need of more volunteers. Volunteers are matched with neighbors requesting supports and the fit meets the concerns of both parties. The next volunteer training session will be offered on Mon., Mar. 18 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Albert Wisner Public Library, located at 1 McFarland Dr. in Warwick. The training is provided by Jewish Family Service (JFS), a longstanding non-profit agency serving Orange County. JFS serves in a partnership with the Town.
Volunteers are insured while they are providing services and go through a background check at no charge. A modest travel reimbursement is offered through the Town's partnership with the Office of the Aging.
Help neighbors stay engaged in our community and help yourself by becoming engaged in this volunteer service. For more information on the program, to volunteer, or to request services, call 986-1124, ext. 400.


Alas brethren, today we divulge in the fruits of a time long gone. While electric guitars and spiked chokers didn't exist back then, our modern selves can at least return to an age of antiquity, peaceful hillside life, and widespread typhoid fever. Just stay away from the rats and you'll be fine.
What have I been alluding to for such an excessive amount of time? Well yes, you are correct, medieval Europe has been chosen for today's setting. Why, you might ask? The Scars in Pneuma have delivered a medieval-themed record for us to enjoy today. Well, its not really that medieval themed, I'm just getting those vibes.
Pneuma derives from the ancient Greek word for "breath," and thus the name The Scars in Pneuma makes a little more sense. The trio behind the black metal project are of Italian origin, so I wouldn't trust their English either. The Path of Seven Sorrows does however deal with themes of life's regret, lost loved ones, and internal demons, hence the name.
Sonically, the album carries this introspective lyrical presence via forms of acoustic guitar, soft female vocals, and a general operatic nature. Upon a handful of listens, I've come to the conclusion that the main essence within The Path of Seven Sorrows, or band's general sound really, lies behind their ability to blend a wide range of influences into one cohesive work, for the most part. The album can be interpreted as some masterful mix of black, death, and doom metal, with an intense presence of melody. These unique soundscapes are incorporated very nicely within the band's eclectic yet controlled take on the black metal genre.
This isn't a harsh album by all means, at least from a general point of view, so the opposite end of this equation results in the heavy parts being really heavy. Holding this living monstrosity together is a loud and downtuned guitar that rumbles behind certain sections of the release. There are actually a few inclusions of this presence whereby that rumbling instrument is the main focus at hand, which gives the listener a good break from the more orchestral sections.
My first complaint lies behind the incorporation of the heavy rumbling guitar. While it does give a great variation to the band's sound, its utilization always errs on the side of simplicity. You see, the orchestral back-and forth black metal riffing, acoustic inclusions, and epic doom-infused vibe that the music has gets offset with this chugging guitar foundation which works in some cases, but gets tiring after a while because the downtuned guitar always plays very simple riffs. I was highly intrigued with this inclusion when it first arose on "Souls are Burning," as the track incorporated a masterful back-and-forth between epic blackened metal sections and primitive guitar chugging. However, by the end of the record's first half, the listener (or critic, in this case) begins to realize that all the guitar's inclusions bathe within simplicity. It gets tiresome after a while, and you feel like you're listening to the same section over and over again, just under a different segment of overlaying music.
Unfortunately, The Path of Seven Sorrows all feels a little too similar to me, especially when consuming the release from front to back. While I praised the album earlier for its unique incorporation of varying sounds, the separate numbers here don't change things up enough for me. There are certainly the stereotypical qualities of a full-length here (some tracks have acoustic intros, some tracks have female vocals, there's the presence of a monolithic number, titled "The Glorious Empire of Sand"), but the music in between these traditional segues is the offending issue here.
Side note: I really do like the album cover. It fits the music very well and reminds me a lot of Bathory's Blood Fire Death, which is a plus in my book.
The band's sound just doesn't carry enough internal variation or changes in tempo. We have the back-and-forth guitar melodies traditional to the black metal subgenre, we have a capable vocal performance, and an ability to create delightfully orchestral sections with a handful of instruments. I adore these parts, but the "meat" of each track just sounds like a slight variation of the prior number. I realized this upon listening to "The Glorious Empire of Sand," the aforementioned penultimate monolith. I was looking forward to this number as my virgin ears were making my way through the tracklist; I had my eye on that 8-minute runtime. I was looking forward to seeing what this orchestral group could do with a full-fledged song, but I was somewhat disappointed, as it didn't incorporate anything I hadn't heard prior. It has the epic doom-infused moments, and it has the inclusion of the heavy chugging guitar to break the song apart, but it just felt like all the same, unfortunately.
Its all a real shame because these are the reasons why pre-ordering albums is a dangerous game. I see it time and time again, the fateful album formula which ceases to leave even the most abrasive of releases. You've got a handful of top-notch singles, and then a few more inventive tracks, and a great culminating track that kind of wraps everything up with a certain characteristic that the previous numbers lacked. Usually, an artist's work pulls through and most of the above song categories blend well together. However, the album in question is one that could easily pull you in with its singles, but disappoints upon full reveal. I hope The Scars in Pneuma can find a little more variation within their sound for their future releases.


Metta is the virtue of friendliness or loving-kindness towards ourselves and others. In the Buddhist tradition a meditation practice is used to cultivate this quality. This practice has been part of the Buddhist tradition since the time of the Buddha who himself recommended the practice.
We often find it more difficult to develop metta toward ourselves so during the retreat, along with exploring and experiencing different ways of approaching the development of metta, we will be offering a sprinkling of self-compassion practices.

Hexadecane (also called cetane) is an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C16H34.  Hexadecane consists of a chain of 16 carbon atoms, with three hydrogen atoms bonded to the two end carbon atoms, and two hydrogens bonded to each of the 14 other carbon atoms.

Cetane number

Cetane is often used as a shorthand for cetane number, a measure of the combustion of diesel fuel. Cetane ignites very easily under compression; for this reason, it is assigned a cetane number of 100, and serves as a reference for other fuel mixtures.

Hexadecyl radical

Hexadecyl is an alkyl radical of carbon and hydrogen derived from hexadecane, with formula C16H33 and with mass 225.433, occurring especially in cetyl alcohol.

Bargaining Alerts: QUFA Making Progress with University (#3)
Dear QUFA Members,
Apologies for the late email. QUFA met the University again today (Friday, December 7); the day proved much more productive than the last meeting. The University responded to QUFA's rejection of the University's initial proposals with a considerably more promising package.
Their proposals included a monetary offset for increased contribution rates to UPP, which now would begin only at the inception of the new plan, a phased retirement plan, unreduced early retirement at 60 for the QPP; and more reasonable but still not adequate ATB increases for each year of a three-year agreement. These proposals indicate that the University has understood the necessity of offsetting some of the costs to Members of transition to the UPP, which will relieve the University of its solvency payment obligations and other costs associated with sponsoring a single-employer pension plan.
QUFA has insisted that other items remain on the table as part of the price of consent. Chief among these is a dispute resolution mechanism for the resolution of bargaining impasse around monetary issues in future contract negotiations. We have indicated to the University how such a mechanism might be modified to meet their concerns. We have also maintained our proposal for an increase in the full-time-equivalency of Continuing Adjuncts who have been promoted to Associate Professor that would grant them a modest research component as part of their appointment.
QUFA also tabled today a set of Memoranda of Agreement (MOA) regarding a range of normative issues that QUFA and the University have been dealing with over the life of the Collective Agreement. These MOAs will permit QUFA and the University to reach agreement in principle on changes to the Collective Agreement now, with the time-consuming editorial work coming later.
The parties will meet again on Monday.
Elizabeth Hanson & Rob Hickey
QUFA Chief Negotiators

Should have read all the reviews. If this is your first time buying these bags you won't know how sturdy they used to be. They were made with thick unbreakable quality zippers and the construction was very substantial. This is a lightweight cheaper version.
Recommended by a friend, small, lightweight, with wheels. Easy to pack, easy to carry.
my other daughter has it and loves it. Durable. Fits a lot. Wish it could stand up on it's side without toppling over.

Science fiction author-hero Rudy Rucker is an oddity and a treasure. In his new collection of nonfiction, Seek!, Rucker explains his preoccupations as mathematician, professor, family man, and limit breaker with a novelist's attention to freaky and convincing details. In these days of neat little marketing categories, few writers attempt to cover so much ground.
Taking its name from the manual for one of his artificial-life programs,the book is a frenzied, sometimes spastic tour of Rucker's life story and driving obsessions. Die-hard fans (of which Rucker has many) love snippets of an author's life, and hero worship aside, it's a pleasure to read the wry and often profound observations of someone accustomed to viewing himself through the filters of sci-fi, mathematics, and a strong dose of unrestrained playfulness. When he narrates a visit to a chipmaking laboratory, for instance, he's impressed by some mechanical arms that portend "robot obstetric wards."
Rucker delivers the facts with whatever funny notions or personal insights strike him, even when they're not so diplomatic. He slags compatriot Robert Anton Wilson for being a self-important grouch; his descriptions of people sometimes include attention to physical flaws worthy of a fairground caricaturist.
A life that's deep in the bowels of Silicon Valley manufacturing one minute, partying in a Tokyo cyberpunk bar the next, and later wandering the streets of Antwerp contemplating Bruegel is a rich reminder that the future is now - and that we don't have to abandon the complexity of our selves now that we're here.

Rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler: Stop sending us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, please!
Here is a fascinating letter British Chief Rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler sent to Hamaggid (January 10, 1889). He urges his rabbinic colleagues in Russia, Poland and Lithuania to help stem the tide of Jewish emigration to Great Britain, which had begun in waves after 1881 when a great wave of pogroms had begun to take place. Rabbi Adler points out that the British Jewish community has done it all it could for the refugees. The rabbis should know that there is no livelihood for them in Britain. Most work on the Sabbath and holidays, and some have even converted to Christianity. It is simply not possible for the Jewish community to do more. London is not a golden city. Therefore he requests all these rabbis publicize these things, so the people will know that immigration to Britain is not an ascent, it's a descent..
The same letter was also sent to Yehuda Leib Gordon's Hameliz, where for some strange reason R. Adler labored under the impression that the rabbinic audience he addressed was reading. It appeared in the January 11, 1889 issue:
Anonymous 4:26 PM, March 28, 2010
At least this was for a legit reason, not 'das torah' that America or wherever was treif. Wonder if anyone listened to his request and how many people might have been saved from WW1 and WW2 though.
S. 4:51 PM, March 28, 2010
The subtext is "We can't assimilate them and they're embarrassing," not that his reasons aren't undoubtedly true.
Wolf2191 4:54 PM, March 28, 2010
Wow!! You can get a good idea of the phenomenon Rabbi Adler was referring to in I Zangwill's books. http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/z#a1987
"Trueish" is what I should have said.
Lion of Zion 11:03 PM, March 28, 2010
does your title refer to emma lazarus's poem as a contrast to adler?
although she was active on behalf of the immigrants who came to america, she also preferred they'd go elsewhere. "wretched refuse" etc. wasn't entirely complimentary and here zionism was influenced by a desire to see the immigrants flow deflected elsewhere.
here = here
here = her
Nachum 8:52 AM, April 08, 2010
Well, the rabbonim kept telling their constituents not to move to America, and millions paid them no attention at all.
S. 10:26 AM, April 08, 2010
There's actually a lot more to say about the subject. Established British Jewry really really resented the Russian immigration and tried their best to convince the Jews to stop coming, to little avail.
In a related note, when an immigrant chevra challenged the hegemony of the Chief Rabbinate on religious issues, particularly kashrus, R. Adler wrote a letter to R. Yitzchak Elchanan asking for support. In his letter he hinted that his support or lack of would influence future charitable giving from British Jewry. R. Yitzchak Elchanan complied, although it's interesting to speculate whether the threat was even necessary.

Top 4 Experiential Marketing Campaigns That Take Creativity to the Next Level
|In Brand Activation, Facts
|By lashvision
1. SNCF… Europe is just next door.
How many times have you wished you could just teleport to another country?
Well you're in luck, French Railway company, SNCF, hit the streets with a unique and interactive experiential marketing campaign that allows you to do just that!
SNCF used this campaign to promote popular European destinations that they serviced during the holiday season, allowing consumers to physically open the door to another city.
https://lashvision.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/videoplayback.mp4
SNCF placed doors that 'led to another country' in high traffic areas across various countries. These doors had a digital screen and two-way camera with hired individuals who welcomed you on a journey in their respective country.
By adding simple, interactive components like a stationary bike or bench, it truly helped bring the experience of being in that country to life!
Consumers were able to engage with the actors in the other countries and get an immersive experience of what it would feel like to take a walk or bike ride through these countries.
As a travel provider, the market is saturated, and it can be difficult to stand out from the rest. By utilizing experiential marketing, SNCF has been able to create an emotional connection between the consumer, country, and brand.
2. Fortnite… where we droppin' boys? In the Cali desert.
You don't need to be a hardcore gamer to have heard of the legendary #fortnite game. What you may not know is that they took experiential marketing to a whole new level by incorporating the game into real life.
What started as a seemingly innocent tweet, turned into an internet sensation overnight with Fortnite gamers losing their minds wondering… is there actually a piece of the game IN REAL LIFE?
At the end of Season 6 in Fortnite, you can see the Durr Burger zap out of the game, but it was not clear whether it had disappeared for good or would be brought back into the game somewhere else.
Epic Games took the opportunity to bring an experience unlike anything ever done before.
A photographer was in the California desert looking for shooting locations when he "stumbled upon" the Durr Burger… in real life! The seemingly innocent tweet went viral overnight with Fortnite gamers losing their minds wondering if it was real or photoshopped.
https://lashvision.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/videoplayback-1.mp4
Turns out, it was real! Epic Games setup a site in the middle of the California desert with secret agents who would hand out cards with a private number, abandoned police cars, and of course the Durr Burger itself.
Giving consumers the opportunity to visit the site and immerse themselves into the game in real life was an exceptional move.
Once the new season commenced, we can see that the Durr Burger gets zapped into a new location in the game and low and behold *poof* it disappeared from the California desert.
Epic Games and Fortnite are at the forefront of relevancy with their consumers – they are constantly bringing pop culture references directly into the game and now it looks like they are the bringing the game to real life.
3. BeautyRest… A Classical Sleepover with 200 Strangers
At SXSW, an immersive film festival, Beauty Rest put 200 strangers to sleep for 8 hours. While a sleepover with over 200 people may sound a bit nerve wrecking, they brought in Max Richter, German classical music artist, for a relaxing and beautiful experience.
Max Richter made his debut in the US at this event and showcased a live 8-hour composition for all 200 people. All these people got to enjoy, relax, and have probably one of the greatest and most relaxing sleeps of their life.
Whether they slept or simply dozed in and out while enjoying the music, its an immersive experience unlike any other.
It gives BeautyRest the opportunity to sample their mattress with over 200 people whilst also creating a mental association in the consumers mind between their brand and relaxation/comfort. This experiential marketing campaign certainly prompts individuals to consider investing in a new mattress after having such a beautiful and relaxing experience.
4. Booking.com… 36,000 Sequins to Sparkle & Dazzle Your Holidays
This past holiday season, Booking.com partnered with famous fashion designer Christian Cowan and brought his sparkling vision to life.
Taking over a 4 story, 2000 sq-ft, Soho townhouse in Central London, inside it's been covered in 36,000 sequins, 100kgs of eco-friendly glitter, 2km of metallic streamers, and 52,000 mirror ball facets.
"I've had so much fun collaborating with Booking.com on the townhouse design – this is the first time I've channeled my vision into an amazing place to stay," Christian Cowan explained.
This 'House of Sparkle' was open to the public for a short amount of time to book a stay during the holiday season. This campaign was used to help promote the other '5.7 million holiday homes that offer a unique experience and are available on booking.com'
Of course, with the house decked out in Booking.com collateral, it makes for a shareable moment for the brand, both from the inside and outside!
Let's just take a moment of silence for those who had to clean 36,000 sequins.

Herald "Hal" Franklin Stout Jr.
Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Herald "Hal" Franklin Stout, Jr., passed away on Thursday, July 30, 2020, at Greenfield Reflections of Strasburg, from complications of diseases caused by Agent Orange. He was born in Newport, Rhode Island on October 23, 1930 to the late Herald Franklin Stout, Sr., and the former Louise Frederica Finley, both of Dover, Ohio. He grew up as a "Navy Junior" and after two years of college at San Diego State University and George Washington University, was appointed to West Point. Herald graduated, was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army, and married his wife Barbara Ester Faxon all in June, 1954. His assignments took him and his family to Washington State, Alaska, Georgia, California, Kansas, Virginia, and Honduras. He served two combat tours in the Republic of Vietnam, first as an Advisor to the Army of South Vietnam, and second, establishing and developing the U.S. Army program to investigate issues of racial injustice and drug abuse. In Honduras, he was the Chief Army Advisor to the Honduran Army, and also served as the U.S. Military Group Chief. He received numerous Army awards, including the Combat Infantryman Badge, multiple Army Commendation and Meritorious Service Awards, the Bronze Star with V Device, and two Legions of Merit. Hal was an Airborne Infantry Ranger and an Honorary Member of the Armed Forces of Honduras. After retirement, he was a part-time Spanish translator in Shenandoah County Courts, and a substitute teacher in the county high schools. Hal had a lifelong affiliation with the Boy Scouts of America, was a member of the Order of the Arrow, and was a "Double Eagle," earning his Eagle Award with Boy Scouts and the equivalent Sea Scout Quartermaster Award, both in 1948. He served on the Shenandoah Area Council Eagle Scout Board for 39 years, and in 2017 was awarded The National Eagle Scout Association's Outstanding Eagle Scout Award. He loved good jokes (the cornier the better), spending time with his family and pet birds, building furniture, baseball, swimming, traveling, and collecting worldwide postage stamps. Herald was predeceased by his parents, his beloved son Herald Franklin Stout, III, his brother-in-law and great friend Glen S. Faxon, Jr., and his nephew Michael Stout. He is survived by his wife of over 66 years, Barbara; his daughter Lida and her husband Mark Haskett, his daughter-in-law Laura Stout, grandchildren Dennis Savonarola, Jr., James Haskett, Barbara Haskett, Emily Stout, Liza Stout, and Sara Stout; his brothers Bruce Stout (Susan) and Peter Stout (Elaine); his sister-in-law Elizabeth Faxon; nieces and nephews Beth, Carol, Robert, Natalie, Christopher, Jennifer, Mike, Howard, Ron and Barbara; his best friend for 70 years, Jack S. Chesbro (Caroline); and by all the staff and caregivers at Greenfield who grew to be family over the course of three years. Services will be private and internment will be at a later date in Arlington National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that any contributions in Herald's name please be made to your favorite military veterans charities, including the Disabled American Veterans, to Parkinson's Disease research, or to your local rescue squad. Arrangements are in the care of Dellinger Funeral Homes in Woodstock, Virginia.

We all know that globally, customers are trending towards using digital technology to fulfil their banking needs. For many banks this means the pressure is on to ensure your branch network continues to be financially viable and provide benefit.
We strongly believe physical branches are still necessary and, reformed in the right way, will play a pivotal role in your bank's future success. Let us work together to create the branch formats that are right for you; that will attract new customers, optimise services to your existing base, and retain relevance in the digital age.
With our people inspired experiences approach, we understand that a successful branch format solution can vary depending on market, branch locations and customer typology. That's why we start by determining the nature of your customers and the branches they currently visit, where branches are located, reasons for visiting and current level of experience.
We take the time to speak to your key stakeholders as well as actual customers to get a broad picture of what a revitalised branch network needs to achieve and what people are expecting. Where is the current branch experience feeling short? What best practices might we take from other industries to elevate the customer experience you offer?
Working with us, you benefit from the expertise of experienced branch designers combined with the creativity of looking outside the box for innovative ideas and solutions. The branch offers an unparalleled opportunity for interaction and we work tirelessly to create spaces that facilitate engagement with your brand and your staff. We consider best practice in design and service across every sector in order to design an experience for your customers that meets and exceeds their expectations.
What has worked well for one bank is not necessarily transferable to another. That's why every project is individual for us; we focus on your customers and your business objectives and let them guide our design thinking. Your branch design shouldn't simply follow the trends but be deeply rooted in your unique brand.
Throughout each project we stay mindful of the financial pressures of rolling out design changes across a branch network. We balance impact with cost efficiency and use modular design frameworks created to maximise cost-effective implementation. Our designs facilitate flexibility, so you can more easily continue to improve as technologies and customer needs evolve.
The result of working with us on a branch format design is a compelling and consistent customer experience that accounts for the unique complexities of your branch network. We'll consider every possible touch-point from remote ATMs and kiosks, to Automated Digital Branches operated by a skeleton team, to multi-purpose branches in shopping malls and on high streets, to the ultimate brand experience of a Flagship Branch.
Redefining branch formats so that they better deliver on customers' needs and expectations is at the top of the agenda for many world-leading financial institutions. We have worked with Emirates Islamic, Oman Arab Bank and many others to realise their vision. Find out how we did it and then speak to us about designing the future of your branch network.
Establish sound customer journey principles and a modular kit of parts to ensure a consistent customer experience across all of your formats and channels.

Upload it to a public file share site like Dropbox or SimsFileShare, and add the link in the post. How it works with SimsFileShare i do not know as i don't use it myself, but dropbox is free for everyone.
I think I might have a scar that will work, and I can recolor hair and eyes for you if you'd like (: I just need a way to send you the packages once they're finished since I don't want to upload other peoples' content without permission. I wonder if email would work?
All mods are finished- I just need your email. Unfortunately since I'm not good with converting, the hair is only available for teen and up, I believe. The scar should be child and up, but I didn't check, and eyes SHOULD be child and up. If the scar and eyes aren't, please feel free to message me about it.


Dorset once had 69 railway stations and halts: today only 23 remain open. This is the first book specifically on the county's stations to be published, and includes photographs of all but Upwey, of which none is thought to exist. Some have vanished without trace, others lie derelict or have been adapted to new uses. Yet once the people of Dorset were as familiar with their local stations as the street or village in which they lived. The stations' styles reflected those of the different railway companies. Many were built with local materials, making their buildings – from ticket offices to goods sheds – of considerable architectural interest.

Bert and Ernie test positive for STD's in ad
Iconic Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie may have a closer relationship than most people realized after all, as the two star in a new ad for an STD detection service that sees the longtime best buds analyzing the result of what appears to be their own test.In the new ad for Mately — a New York City-based service that offers discreet and convenient testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases — the two iconic puppets look over the results of what is apparently their own test for diseases. "See Ernie, you've got nothing to worry about, everything is positive!" reads the cheeky but dark caption above the photo. Sesame Workshop, the company behind the iconic children's program, was apparently not amused by what it says was the unauthorized use of its characters. "The Mately ad is an unauthorized, unlicensed use of our characters. We will be contacting Mately and the appropriate parties with a cease and desist letter instructing them to take this down," a spokesperson for the company told TMZ. Wow just great American society has officially gone down the tubes, really what we should all be asking is why the use of kid characters in their std test ad? The add yes has been taken down, but why the use of Bert and Ernie? Was the whole point of this add in the ways they worded the add, was suppose to somehow make it look cool to kids to get an STD. The thing that should make us suspicious about std test that are sent in the mail, is that whose to say that the test aren't laced with multiple STD'S. Just saying. Did they use Bert and Ernie so kids would take the test, in which the test could be possibly laced with std's?
