When someone tells about blood sugar problems we understand that the person is telling about diabetes. Diabetes has high incidence in both the developed and the developing world becoming so common that everyone knows that diabetes is associated with the blood sugar levels. The Oxford dictionary tells that — In this disease sugar and starch are not properly absorbed by the body.Various surveys tells the fact that the number of diabetic patients is increasing by the day. Many governmental and non government agencies are spreading awareness among public and presenting programs to prevent and manage diabetes because of this.
This becomes the cause for incapability of body to absorb sugar and starch? Due to a disorder the body fails to convert food into energy the answer to this question is that. When our body is not capable of absorbing sugar, the excess sugar is released in the blood and the body tries to throw it out through our urine. This is one of the most common symptoms found amongst diabetic patients When a test is conducted by a doctor the reading tells about abnormal levels of sugar in our blood. On the other hand our body is unable to convert the sugar into energy as a result we feel hungry and thirsty frequently. This is second symptom of diabetes.
Normally, there are three types of diabetes — Type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. During type 1 diabetes, our body produces very low amount of insulin or no insulin at all. In these cases one has to inject insulin several times a day. Type I diabetes is mostly associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. The production of insulin reduces or the cells in the body do not absorb the insulin produced by the body in type II diabetes. Gestational diabetes is common in women during pregnancy. If you don't take care then all the three types of diabetes are dangerous. Various severe problems of the heart, kidney, liver, and other neurological conditions can cause due to diabetes. To avoid complications arising from diabetes it is necessary that you maintain sugar level in the blood.
Once you are diagnosed as a diabetic your primary concern should be your diet plan. The size of the list of what you can eat and cannot eat just increases. However, one need not to be tensed about this and get frightened as most diabetics are overwhelmed by this. Doctors agree without question all over the world that a proper diet is the key in Controlling diabetes.
Several diet plans are found helpful in the management of this condition hence recommended for the diabetics. Those diet plans are preferred which allow you to reduce the amount of carbohydrates in your food. Why? if you want to maintain the blood sugar level in the body a low carbohydrate diet is essential because the simple reason is carbohydrates are easily converted to sugar. The blood sugar level increases or decreases in direct proportion to carbohydrate taken. This is the main cause for recommending the low carb diet plans. You will be ruined while making a choice as there are so many low carb diets available in the market. You can consult your dietitian or primary health care provider for choosing the one. The idea is to provide sufficient calories required by the body while maintaining the sugar levels in your blood from these diets.
Normally, we take foods three times in a day. Make your three meal into six times in a day according to diet plans. Some low carb diet plans allow you to eat foods containing carbohydrates, while restricting the amount of intake. They encourage for the eating of fruits, vegetables, eggs, seafood, etc. These foods contain low carbohydrates while white bread, polished rice and other sweets contain higher amount of simple carbohydrates.
It's obvious from the above information that low carbohydrate diets help you to monitor the level of blood sugar. They play an important role in monitoring of diabetes and keeping it in check. These diets can help you in living a normal and happy life, in spite of being a diabetic.
It is a great drink for diabetics contains no carbohydrates having a fantastic taste and extremely refreshing. A large and affordable assortment of flavored carbonated water concentrate is available for free delivery world wide from www.allfreightfree.com.

EYFS - quick reference guide
The current version of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage is 2021. We have extracted all the safeguarding and welfare requirements that are relevant to out of school clubs from the Statutory Framework 2021, and reformatted them to form an easy-to-use Quick Reference Guide for Out of School Clubs.
To slim down the requirements we have removed any that are irrelevant to our sector, such as child ratios for childminders or reception classes in maintained schools. Each requirement is cross-referenced to the appropriate paragraph of the Statutory Framework 2021 so that you can quickly refer back to it. Where necessary we have added our own commentary to the requirements, including noting where there are references to DfE guidance and other legislation that have changed since the Statutory Framework was last published in 2017.
All out of school clubs that are registered on Ofsted's Early Years Register must ensure that their policies reflect the Statutory Framework 2021. To make this process easier, after each section in the Quick Reference Guide we list the affected policies from our template documentation sets.
Members of the Out of School Alliance can download the Quick Reference Guide for free.
To download the Quick Reference Guide, please log in.
If you are not yet a member of the Out of School Alliance you can join today and start enjoying the benefits of membership (such as downloading the Quick Reference Guide) right away.

Der Bostalsee ist ein Stausee im Gemeindegebiet von Nohfelden im nördlichen Saarland, der im Jahr 1979 angestaut wurde. Der Staudamm hat eine Länge von 500 m. Der See dient fast ausschließlich der Freizeitnutzung. Die gestaute Wasserkraft wird seit Ende 2013 in geringem Umfang zur Stromerzeugung genutzt, vor allem, um in den Wintermonaten den Rundwanderweg um den See zu beleuchten. Der süd-westliche Teil des Sees ist als Naturschutzgebiet ausgewiesen.

Entstehung
Initiiert wurde das touristische Großprojekt bereits Anfang der 1970er Jahre von dem damaligen Landrat des Kreises St. Wendel, dem späteren saarländischen Ministerpräsidenten Werner Zeyer. Langfristige Perspektive war es, durch den See die touristische Infrastruktur des Landkreises St. Wendel zu stärken und ein erhöhtes Besucheraufkommen zu erzielen. Weiterhin sollte durch die neue Wasserfläche ein Beitrag zur Erweiterung der Naherholungseinrichtungen und zur Verbesserung der ökologischen Verhältnisse bewirkt werden. Um dies alles zu ermöglichen, wurde der damalige Grundbesitzer enteignet.

Grunddaten
Mit einer Oberfläche von 120 ha (1,2 km²), einem Wasservolumen von 8 Millionen m³ und einer maximalen Wassertiefe von 18 m liegt der See auf ca.  im Naturpark Saar-Hunsrück bei . Es ist damit der größte künstliche Freizeitsee im südwestdeutschen Raum. Am See gelegen sind die Ortschaften Bosen, Eckelhausen, Gonnesweiler und Neunkirchen/Nahe im Landkreis Sankt Wendel, der auch der Betreiber des Freizeitzentrums Bostalsee ist. Die gestauten Gewässer sind die Bos und der Dämelbach.

Der oberste Meter des Stauraums ist Hochwasserschutzraum. Das Dauerstauziel liegt bei 400 m über NN, der Überlauf auf 401 m und das außergewöhnliche Stauziel bei Hochwasser bei 401,75 m über NN. Ab Oktober 2007 wurden umfangreiche Reparaturen an der Staumauer durchgeführt. Im März 2009 ging der See wieder in Betrieb. Die Uferpromenade wurde im August 2009 wieder freigegeben.

Umgebung – Infrastruktur
Um den See herum führen ein 6,8 km langer Wanderweg und ein 7,2 km langer Radwanderweg, die das touristische Angebot des Freizeitzentrums mit Camping, Segeln, Angeln, Surfen, Tretbootfahren, Schlittschuhlaufen, Beachvolleyball und Strandbad ergänzen. Der Betrieb von Motorbooten (mit Ausnahme weniger Elektroboote und Motorboote der Wasserrettung) ist auf dem See untersagt. Der See ist der Endpunkt der in St. Wendel beginnenden Straße der Skulpturen. Die nächstgelegene Stadt ist St. Wendel.

Das 1979 errichtete Wellenhallenbad "Bosaarium" wurde 2004 zu einer Veranstaltungshalle umgebaut. Seit dem 26. November 2011 befindet sich in der Halle ein Indoor-Spielplatz.

Ferienpark
Das französische Unternehmen Pierre et Vacances baute mit seinem Tochterunternehmen Center Parcs und in Kooperation mit verschiedenen öffentlichen Trägern einen Ferienpark am Seeufer zwischen Gonnesweiler und Eckelhausen. Zunächst sollte der Park unter dem Label "Sunpark" vermarktet werden. Mit Baubeginn im Frühjahr 2011 wurde bekannt, dass der Ferienpark "Center Parcs – Park Bostalsee" heißen wird. Der Park wurde im Juli 2013 eröffnet und besteht aus 500 Ferienhäusern in sechs Dörfern sowie einer Zentraleinheit mit Tropenerlebnisbad. Für diese bisher größte Tourismusbaumaßnahme im Südwesten wurden rund 130 Millionen Euro investiert, wobei das Saarland einen Teil dieser Summe im Rahmen der öffentlich-privaten Partnerschaft vorfinanzierte. Durch entsprechende langjährige Pachtverträge mit Center Parcs sollen diese Gelder wieder zurückgezahlt werden. Insgesamt sind etwa 300 Arbeitsplätze entstanden.

> 10 Best Brendan Fraser Movies: From 'The Mummy' to 'The Whale'
Berfin Ceren Meray Onedio Member
January 23 2023 - 11:33am
After being away from the spotlight, actor Brendan Fraser has made a comeback with his recent role in 'The Whale'. However, his past performances in films like 'The Mummy' and 'George of the Jungle' have cemented his place in our hearts as one of the top action stars of the late 90s and early 2000s. Throughout his career, Fraser has also had the opportunity to star alongside some of the most successful actors in the industry. In this article, we take a look at 10 of Brendan Fraser's best films!
1. The Whale (2022)
Charlie, an English teacher, tries to reconnect with his 17-year-old daughter Ellie, but finds out that he won't live long due to his deteriorating health. The film is one of the best films of 2022 thanks to the charming performance of Brendan Fraser. In the film set in an intimate apartment, Charlie instills hope in the sickly story with his positivity and compassion, despite the fact that he cannot see anything good in himself.
Director: Darren Aronofsky
Cast: Brendan Fraser, Sadie Sink, Ty Simpkins
2. George of the Jungle (1997)
The film is about Ursula, an American heiress who is traveling through Uganda. Her local guide tells her the story of the White Monkey, and soon Ursula and her fiancé start looking for the creature. When they are attacked by a lion, the White Monkey takes her back. Se soon discovers that the White Monkey is actually a man named George who grew up in the forest.
Director: Sam Weisman
Cast: Brendan Fraser, Leslie Mann, Thomas Haden Church
3. AirHeads (1994)
Chazz, Rex and Pip are in a band called 'The Lone Rangers'. Unfortunately, producers constantly turn them down when they hear demo tapes. In a last-ditch effort, they sneak into the local radio station to listen to their tapes, and things eventually spiral out of control to the point where the group takes the radio station employees hostage. In this film, which is another example of Fraser's comedic talent, the dose of laughter is constantly increasing.
Director: Michael Lehmann
Cast: Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler
4. Gods and Monsters (1998)
James Whale is the real-life film director of the 1931 film Frankenstein. This fictional account of his life focuses on his post-retirement from filmmaking, his flashbacks to the early 1900s and his role in World War I. Boone, a much younger man, wants more than friendship with Whale. The film takes place as an interesting film in Brendan Fraser's own career, as he shows a dramatic brilliance in the role of Boone.
Director: Bill Condon
Cast: Ian McKellen, Brendan Fraser, Lynn Redgrave
5. The Mummy (1999)
Probably Fraser's most notable film, The Mummy is about adventurer Rick O'Connell guiding librarian Evelyn Carnahan on a quest to the secret city of Hamunaptra. While wandering around the city in pursuit of secrets and searching for treasure, they accidentally awaken a mummy that attacks them. With a satisfying plot and action, the film is the best production in which Fraser has consolidated his talent for directing a film.
Director: Stephen Sommers
Cast: Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah
6. School Ties (1992)
In 1959, 17-year-old Jewish high school quarterback David Greene is offered a scholarship to play at a private Catholic boarding school due to his excellent grades and talent on football. While the opportunity to play football on a bigger field is exciting, David is faced with a school full of people who are biased against him because of his identity.
Director: Robert Mandel
Cast: Brendan Fraser, Matt Damon, Chris O'Donnell
7. The Quiet American (2002)
In the Vietnam of 1952, Alden Plye, an American CIA agent, and Thomas Fowler, a British journalist, compete for Phuong's affections.

Director: Phillip Noyce
Cast: Michael Caine, Brendan Fraser, Thi Hai Yen Do
8. Bedazzled (2000)
Thinking that he has no chance with Allison, the girl of his dreams, Elliot makes a deal with the devil and gives up his soul, gaining the right to seven wishes to win Allison's heart. Elliot's wishes, which he thinks are simple, turn upside down when the devil gets discouraged in his choices, causing Elliot to make many mistakes along the way.
Director: Harold Ramis
Cast: Brendan Fraser, Elizabeth Hurley, Frances O'Connor
9. Blast from the Past (1999)
Adam goes to 1997 America for the first time after spending the first 35 years of his life in the nuclear bunker built by his father. The guy soon realizes that nuclear war never happened, and he must learn to adapt to a society in which he no longer grows up.
Director: Hugh Wilson

Director: Steven Soderbergh
Cast: Brendan Fraser, Don Cheadle, Benicio Del Toro, David Harbour

Dr. Jeffrey Lang was born in Roman Catholic Family in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1954. Currently, he is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Kansas, one of the biggest universities in the United States. He started his religious Journey when he was very young and he spent is first 18 years in Catholic schools, which left him with many unanswered questions.
When he reached the age of 18, Lang had become a full-fledged atheist.
When he was a young lecturer in mathematics at San Francisco University, Lang found his religion where God is finally a reality. He was introduced to the religion by few of his Muslim friends at university.
Dr. Lang met Mahmoud Qandeel, a Saudi student who was very prominent in his class. Qandeel answered his questions about medical research in perfect English and with great self assurance.
Together the professor and the student went to all the glittering places where "there was no joy or happiness, only laughter." Yet at the end, Qandeel surprisingly gave him a copy of the Holy Quran and some Islamic Books.
Lang started to Read Quran by his own and also his way to the student-run prayer hall at the university. He says he surrendered without much effort. He was conquered by the Quran easily when read first two chapter of Quran and this encounter was fascinating.
Lang says he performs the salah five times a day regularly which makes his bond stronger with the Allah and finds much spiritual satisfaction. He finds the Fajr (pre-dawn) prayer as most as one of the most beautiful and moving rituals in Islam.
Responding to the question that how he was captivated by the Quran when the recitation of Quran is in Arabic, which is totally unknown to him, he responds; "Why is a baby comforted by his mother's voice?" He said the reading the Quran provided him a special deal and strength and comfort in his difficult times. From there on, faith became matter of practice for Lang's spiritual growth.
"That is the way my mind works, and it is frustrating when I deal with things that do not have concrete answers." He said that it is hard for a religious person to try the ideas of religion with critical thinking and testing the factual merits but only followers of Islam enjoy the freedom of questioning and analyzing the the faith This is reason he Islam appealed to his reasoning mind.
As faculty advisor for the Muslim Student Association, Lang said he viewed himself as the bridge between the universities and their Muslim students. He holds Islamic lectures after approval from the universities . "The object of being their faculty advisor is to help them get their needs met as far as adjusting to the American culture and to procedures of the university. They appreciate the opportunity to have misconceptions corrected," he said.
Lang is author to several Islamic books which are best sellers among the Muslim community in the US. "Even Angels ask; A Journey to Islam in America". is one of his famous book which Dr. Lang shares with his readers the many insights that have unfolded for him through his self discovery and progress within the religion of Islam.
based on acquiring skills for earning. Islam emphasizes on education that is beneficial for a person and society as a whole. According to Islam there are two basic types of education.
Religious knowledge refers to information about instructions and guidelines from Allah Almighty that how a person should live and behave in his life. Secular education is for day to day dwelling. The specialty of Islam is that the first revelation of Holy Quran was about learning.
With out education one can not perceive the message and commandants of Allah. With little knowledge we are prone of being betrayed from right path. The danger of ignorance is that a person can not differentiate between right and wrong and he can be easily a victim of Satan.
He is at risk of losing most invaluable gift of his life that is "Iman". A life of educated person is enlightened and he can clearly identify and follow the right path .
Education is not only about learning, we must pass and deliver the gained knowledge to others so that they can also get benefitted from merits education. Islam asks followers to learn Quran and teach it to others. This hadith is about reward of teaching beneficial knowledge to others.

Lawsuit or pre-settlement cash advance loan is a type of non-recourse short-term credit. As soon as plaintiff lodges a suit in the court, the lending company examines the lawsuit, researches its possibilities for success, borrows the plaintiff a cash advance loan and guarantees that it will pay some part of money for the court's judgment. Lawsuit cash advances are named non-recourse, because they are not real loans, but some type of advance payment, which the lending company gets back at the end of the lawsuit.
It may happen that the lawsuit process may fail. Then the plaintiff doesn't have to repay money to the lender. If the amount of the advance loan is bigger than the sum after the court judgment, the plaintiff must pay the rest. The plaintiff is to pay just a part of the sum that he receives after the court verdict, even when it is less than the lawsuit cash advance loan.
The amount of cash advance that can be received from the lawsuit lending company varies depending on the type of lawsuit, success possibilities and the lending company itself. With regards to the above stated reasons, a lawsuit company may provide a loan, which can amount from $500 up to $25,000. However there are several cases, recorded in lending history, when a finance firm has offered a cash advance loan for $100,000.
Lawsuit lending companies usually provide cash advances in such situations, when it seems that plaintiff will receive more money in comparison with the amount given by a company. These companies commonly return the sum of cash advance, after a judge has made a verdict. The repaid money is called a flat fee. Moreover, a plaintiff should pay another fee every month, before a lawsuit is settled.
Plaintiffs usually borrow cash advances to pay for the rent, development of business or medical bills.

The William J. Gies Awards for Vision, Innovation and Achievement (The Gies Awards) were presented at a celebration dinner on Monday evening at the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center Osceola Ballroom. The Gies Awards, named after dental education pioneer William J. Gies, Ph.D., debuted in 2008 and honor individuals and organizations that exemplify the highest standards in oral health and dental education, research and leadership. Dentsply Sirona Inc. was the premier sponsor of the awards.
Political Spotlight: Is It Noise, or Is It News?
Monday's Political Spotlight plenary session, What Does It All Mean?, featured an analysis of American politics and policies affecting academic dentistry and the dental profession. Mary C. Curtis and Patricia Murphy, two columnists at CQ Roll Call, talked about the volume of information coming out of the political arena. Some people go on a "news diet" to get away from the constant barrage of news, but the risk is missing something important that affects them.
"We want to give you tips for shutting off the firehose [of information] and how to sift through the noise," says Ms. Murphy.
Are there votes involved? Does it have support in Congress?
Is the White House on board? If not, this issue isn't going anywhere. It's noise.
The third question is particularly important. For example, how much will the upcoming midterm elections affect what is going on in Congress? Leading up to an election, the chances of things moving forward, getting votes and becoming law are minimal.
"Everything else is noise and I try to be aware of it but not affected by it," Ms. Murphy says.
What is the effect on everyday people?
What is the effect on a community?
Don't look up, look down.
Ms. Murphy and Ms. Curtis then presented examples of what they considered news and what they considered noise.
Hope Hicks leaving the White House—Ms. Murphy's opinion is this is noise. Washington is obsessed with palace intrigue, particularly for this administration. All administrations have staff turnover, though more so in the Trump Administration. Hope Hicks leaving is a distraction from decisions being made at the White House and in Congress.
However, Rodney Frelinghuysen leaving Congress, which didn't get much attention, is news. He is the Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and has been in Congress for more than 20 years. This committee is where the money is spent and funding decisions made. His decision to retire when he doesn't have to means we don't know what direction house spending will go in.
Repealing the Affordable Care Act—During the Obama Administration, the House voted 70 times to repeal the ACA. They had the votes but not the support of the White House. The first vote was news, but there was no need to focus on the other 69 votes. After President Trump took office, they voted again to repeal but didn't get the votes. Again, this is noise because there was no alignment of the House, Senate and White House.
Tax Cuts—President Trump signing the tax cuts legislation was monumental news. The House, Senate and White House were in alignment. The midterms were exactly a year away, and they needed to pass something major. However, the bigger news was doing away with the ACA individual mandate in this legislation, because this starts to unwind the ACA. There is a fear among ACA supporters that healthy people will not buy insurance and costs for those still in the market will go up. Dental care is optional in many insurance plans, though it is one of the 10 essential benefits for children. This issue should continue to be watched, as the marketplace will dictate the strength of these benefits for children.
U.S. Capitol—After this week, no meaningful legislation will pass until after the midterm elections. This week there is a spending bill to fund the entire federal government, and a number of health care items are in the bill that will stabilize the insurance markets. However, watch the state legislatures—they are increasingly taking the lead to solve the problems that Washington is putting off. Everyone should watch what is happening in health care at the state level.
Trump Administration Death Penalty for Drug Dealers—President Trump is announcing this today and it is getting headlines. It's noise because the Supreme Court says there has to be a capital offense. Additionally, Congress would need to get involved, and they are not buying into this idea. However, there is no pushback from anyone on addressing the opioid crisis. Congress approved a $6 billion budget deal to fight opioid abuse and the White House is aligned. This may not get headlines but it will affect peoples' lives.
Betsy DeVos on Education—recently she appeared on 60 Minutes and it generated headlines. It was noise as far as policy; what doesn't get as much attention is some of her views on higher education. Her agency budget proposal sought to reduce agency funding, including cuts to college work-study programs and loan forgiveness programs. However, the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee will look at the Department of Education's budget, and they can make changes. Reforms, such as to the Health Education Act, may not be acted on this year because of the midterm elections.
We should also pay attention to the states on issues affecting higher education—Alabama is proposing funding for loan repayment for dentists and physicians who practice in underserved areas. Florida passed a bill for a dental student loan repayment program if they serve in underserved areas. The Florida staff used reports developed by ADEA to inform their legislation, so ADEA played a part in affecting state legislation.
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals—we thought there would be action on this, but we have not heard much from Congress. This issue is important to ADEA because it affects diversity and inclusion, and some dental students. The news on this issue will come from the courts.
Other Dynamics—the President is a frequent wild card; he will make a statement (for example, promises about gun control to students) and then later change direction (concessions toward gun supporters). Frequent changes in agency leadership should be watched—it is difficult for agencies to move forward on issues when leadership keeps changing. The midterm elections will generate a lot of noise and speculation, but we won't know the impact on the White House until after the elections. Use a heavy filter during this time. Adult film stars and Russia are examples of unexpected things that come up; they might affect the election, they might not. We've seen in the past year how school shootings have changed the conversation on guns, and recordings of police encounters have also changed the conversation about law enforcement. How will officials react to these unexpected things, and what will make people take notice?
Ms. Murphy and Ms. Curtis gave some final advice: Apply your strongest filter to cable news. Pundits are paid to disagree with what's being said by the other side to create more controversy than actually exists. Go to credible sources, such as CQ, which is a good source of policy information on health care. And finally, beware social media, particularly Facebook.

The "In the Mix" series at the ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition considers inclusion in all its forms and facets. Alexia Antczak-Bouckoms D.M.D., Sc.D., M.P.H., M.S., shared her personal experiences as a person with a physical disability.
Since February 25, 1996, when a tree fell on the car she was driving, resulting in a complete spinal cord injury, Dr. Bouckoms' life has taken on new challenges. Always the optimist, she believes one day medical research will find a way for her to literally get back on her feet. Until that time, she continues to work from a seated position.
In the United States, 53 million people are living with a disability, or roughly 22% of the population. As a dental educator and a person with a disability, Dr. Bouckoms has a unique experience, which she shared with attendees.
Mark Wolff, D.D.S., Ph.D., of New York University College of Dentistry (NYU COD), stepped in to provide a comment from the dental school perspective. He said that the number of people requiring special care in the United States has grown exponentially, and dental professionals need to recognize the needs of the entire population in the delivery of dental care. NYU COD is committed to teaching dental students to treat a wide range of people, of all ages, with and without disabilities.
The topic then turned to Dr. Bouckoms' efforts to raise millions of dollars for spinal cord research. "Bad things happen, and you have to try to make something good come out it," she says. She planned the first fund raiser, and actor Christopher Reeve, who was paralyzed from the neck down after falling forward off of a horse in 1995, attended the event. They raised $750,000 at that event, and went on to do other fundraisers.
Dr. Bouckoms was asked what her professional plans are for the future. She answered that attending this event has sparked her interest in learning more about the dental school curriculum and what students are taught about working with people with disabilities. She might even develop a model curriculum that dental schools could use.
And what is Dr. Bouckoms' vision of inclusiveness?
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. One in 68 births result in a child with autism. Those with ASD can be challenging patients for oral health providers as their behavior is often disruptive and can prevent the delivery of much needed care. This can often be an overwhelming situation for dental students as well. But a thoughtful approach to these patients and their care can provide practitioners with the tools to provide complete care.
Traditional methods of approaching treatment for patients with ASD have included the use of sedation or general anesthesia to manage behavior. Some providers have even used a papoose board to restrain patients. While these methods can effective, a behavioral approach to treatment can provide long-term results and establish a foundation of care.
Oscar Padilla, D.D.S., a pediatric dentist, and Tara Sheehan, Ph.D., BCBA, a behavior analyst, shared their strategies and recommendations for working with people with ASD and their caregivers to create an environment where patients feel safe and oral health care can be delivered with minimal disruption. Their work with these patients at Nova Southeastern University College of Dental Medicine has been successful and blazed a path toward a healthy mouth.
Onset of ASD is in early childhood, usually before age three. Indicators include a wide spectrum of symptoms, skills and levels of severity. Some examples include deficiency in social communication and social interaction, repetitive patterns of behavior, lack of response to their name and delayed verbal skills. As they get older, they can be inflexible, showing unwavering adherence to specific routines or rituals; be abnormally intense or focused on certain activities; and lack imaginative play skills.
Every child presents differently, and there isn't a specific intervention or solution, but applied behavior analysis (ABA) can provide practitioners with a path to work with the patient, keeping in mind their unique triggers and points of stress. ABA is a technological approach to clinical psychology derived from over 100 years of basic behavioral science. It employs a wide range of techniques to modify environment, therefore modifying behavior.
Sensory experiences can cause panic and overwhelm those with ASD. The sound of dental instruments, feel of gloves and bright lights are unfamiliar and may overstimulate a patient, causing challenging behaviors.
To create a successful treatment plan and build trust that results in consistent care, dentists must be prepared. Prevention strategies can help them start off on the right foot and build momentum. Arrange a visit to the office for a tour. Let them sit in a chair, meet the staff at the clinic and make the visit approachable. Associate the visit with something positive so that the association with the dental chair is not a negative.
Be prepared for the patient by asking caregivers about dental history, unique triggers and behavioral cues and/or indicators. Ask about the child's current placement in school, as strategies are different for students in a special school versus mainstream education. Also, learn what other treatments and services the child is enrolled in to understand the support that is available to them outside of the clinic.
Depending on the function of the trigger, there are different solutions to help mitigate challenging behavior early in the appointment. Sensory triggers can be avoided with sunglasses for those with sensitivity to bring lights and noise cancelling headphones for those who find loud sounds to be a trigger. If it is a visual trigger, present the instruments in advance and explain what they are and what they are used for. If the function of behavior is escape, use a first/then strategy to provide clear instructions that can lead to compliance. It is important to lessen challenging behavior that could terminate a visit as early as possible. The sooner you identify the function of behavior, the quicker you will diffuse a challenging behavior.
Better oral health outcomes for patients with ASD starts with preparation and leg work. Building a relationship with the patients and caregivers and educating them about treatment plans and techniques will lay the foundation for a lifetime of excellent oral health.
As education has evolved, one thing has stayed constant—the adaptation of technology. Since the advent of electricity, technology has made its way into the classroom for student use—from transistor radios and televisions, to calculators and personal computers, to the world wide web and smart devices. These advances have enhanced education across all student levels.
Augmented reality (AR) is making its way into dental school classrooms across the country. Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry (Meharry SOD) and Western University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine (WU CDM) are two schools studying the efficacy of AR and developing applications for use by students and faculty.
What exactly is AR and can it really be applied to dental education? Augmented reality enhances surroundings with sounds, haptic feedback and graphics. It layers reality with other images. Holograms and 3-dimensional images are dropped into these surroundings, allowing for a new method of content delivery. Used with a smart phone or smart glasses, AR applications can bring the study of tooth structure and disease to life. It can also be used for basic sciences, such as gross anatomy.
With this technology, the classroom of 2030 is everywhere. No longer confined to a campus or clinic, students across the world can participate in lectures and simultaneously observe procedures and demonstrations. Professors can record those lectures, allowing them to be with their students every step of their education.
AR is a very new technology, with its benefits to dental education still unknown. Faculty involved with the study of its efficacy in dental education are in the beginning stages of ascertaining its usefulness to ensure the return on investment is worth it.
It can be an expensive proposition. There is an investment of both time and financial resources to develop applications. The smart glasses can cost upwards of $3,000. The faculty at WU CDM have put in over 40 hours of work to build early prototypes of an application that blend study, practice and gamification. Meharry SOD faculty have built an application that allows people to see the bones of the skull intact, and then separated out so one can delve into the structure of the mouth.
AR is in everyone's hands with smart technology. Only time and further study will tell if this marriage of the art of dentistry and technology is beneficial to dental education.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Six Cougars scored double figures in what was their first win of the season over Ohio State's club team on Wednesday.
Columbus State outperformed the Ballstars across the board with the exception of free throw shooting and blocking. As a team, Columbus State shot 43.5% in three's and 46.8% from the field overall compared to OSU club's 23.3% and 426.% respectively. The Cougars forced 19 turnovers on the Ballstars and turned them into 13 points. They also grabbed 12 offensive rebounds resulting in 21 second chance points.
Freshman Matthew Gierhart led the offense with 21 points, including shooting 3-for-4 from behind the arc. Gierhart also had his third double-double of the season with ten rebounds. Freshman Mario Young sunk in 18 points as well as grabbed eight rebounds.
Freshman Dylan Geig recorded 17 points while sophomore Johnnie Robinson put up 15 points for the Cougars. Posting his first double-double of the season with a career-high 11 boards, Robinson shot 5-for-6 from the field as well as dished out a career-high seven assists.
Sophomore Grant Dierksheide put up a career-high 14 points, including going 4-for-8 from downtown. Freshman William Prater rounded out the double-digit scoring with ten points along with pulling down four rebounds.
The game was close up until halfway through the first half when Columbus State began aggressively grabbing defensive rebounds and running down the court to sink in baskets. They extended the lead to 14 points by the half. OSU did manage to narrow the deficit to ten with four minutes left but the Cougars were able to pull away to secure their 102-84 victory.
The win brings the Cougars' record to 1-4 overall. They remain home to host the 2015 NJCAA DIII Champion Rock Valley at 3:00 p.m. on Sun, Nov. 20.

Transformation beyond conservation : how critical social science can contribute to a radical new agenda in biodiversity conservation
Massarella, K., Nygren, A., Fletcher, R. et al. (15 more authors) (2021) Transformation beyond conservation : how critical social science can contribute to a radical new agenda in biodiversity conservation. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 49. pp. 79-87. ISSN 1877-3435
Multiple proposals for transforming biodiversity conservation have been put forward, yet critical exploration of how transformative change is conceptualised in this context is lacking. Drawing on transformations to sustainability scholarship, we review recent proposals for transformative change in biodiversity conservation, considering the suggested goals and means of transformation. We outline the crucial role for critical social scientific inquiry in transformative change by highlighting two core contributions. First, critical social science is an analytical device that politicises and pluralises debates and second, it can help facilitate the identification of transformative alternatives. We then show how such a critical social science approach is operationalised within the CONVIVA (Towards Convivial Conservation: Governing Human-Wildlife Interactions in the Anthropocene) project to pursue transformative change in biodiversity conservation.

Followed by refreshments and a chance to chat.


Everything is upside down in this topsy-turvy world and this city of Buenos Aires is no exception. Autumn begins in March and Christmas comes in the summer. Resurrection Sunday will not coincide with the blooming of flowers everywhere but with rainy afternoons in neighborhoods covered with fallen leaves. We will have to use our imagination to see the resurrection represented in nature or … wait until September.
Here one has to make an extra effort to understand the northern hemisphere songs and poems that use the names of months to represent a mood. December may evoke a white landscape up there but here down-under it rather represents the fires of hell.
The Fall Season has arrived here in BA but green leaves are still holding and one can spot the occasional late spring flower. Here at home in the 6th floor of an eight-story apartment building, I am trying to make the old windows winter-proof. Not an easy task but doable. Thank the Lord and DuPont Corporation for silicone. This winter, we are told, is going to be a hard one. I hope they are wrong. Where's global warming when we need it? Even this last summer was quite mild, with a few cold days here an there.
I was hoping to finish all the long-promised writing but other issues took nearly all my time. You may have noticed I did not write much in this old blog. I spent many hours researching and now I have a lot of material to read. That is good. I am learning a lot and hopefully, I will have those books finished sometime soon. You had a small advance on the book about St. Peter in the last six articles of the series ending with Cross and Resurrection but I promise you there is a lot more.
A few friends have helped financially with my return to the US project. I am very grateful for their help and for all the readers that pray and send donations and words of Christian encouragement. I have many friends I did not have when I started writing this blog in Virginia, years ago. I am very grateful for their friendship.
I sense that my return to the US may be imminent but God must be keeping me here for some reason. I tried — and I will keep trying — to put my time in Buenos Aires to good use but I sense when all my Northern friends welcome their Fall Season (as the presidential elections happen in Argentina) things may become "interesting" here. It does not look good now — no matter who wins the coming elections, the current economic crisis is bound to continue and there may be "troubles" in the Irish sense of the word. I hope I am wrong. Most of all, I hope I am not stuck here during a Venezuela-style crisis. It is time to pray for this country that has endured more than a century of "saviors of the people" and still cannot get the notion that there is only one Savior, and He does not belong to any political party.
Reporting from Buenos Aires, just a few blocks from the Rio de la Plata and not far from the intersection of Washington and Monroe streets. Quite a curious coincidence there. Yet, the river is not the cold Delaware… but the wide, lion-colored River Plate.
Thank you for your articles. Very interesting!
Beautiful autumn picture! Beautiful street! Where is it?
I think Our Lord Jesus is coming very soon. We have to pray fervently the Holy Rosary!
Thank you, Michel. The street is (to the best of my belief) Remedios Boulevard, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Floresta/Mataderos.

In lists (1046)
Pssst, want to check out The Graduate in our new look?
MKej
Love the soundtrack 7 years 6 months ago
Siskoid
In The Graduate, Dustin Hoffman plays a listless college graduate whose very listlessness becomes the motivation for making mistakes, most prominently having an affair with an older woman (that's non-scandalous casting, he and Anne Bancroft only have a 6-year age difference) and then with her daughter. A less wealthy character might not have been able to afford any of this, but the film certainly remains relevant in our age of stay-at-home twentysomethings, and besides, Mike Nichols' direction is so slick, so peculiar, so ARRESTING, that it makes the movie seem entirely modern. I mean, I've seen well over 2000 thousand films in my life, and his direction still had a powerful revelatory effect on me. You know, like you might have felt the first time you saw a Tarantino picture and the camera was doing all sorts of things it shouldn't have been doing. Like that. Makes sense. This is a story about breaking rules. The director ought to break a few himself. 6 years 5 months ago

Deutsche Telecom Details New Swag From Failed AT&T Merger
The AT&T - T-Mobile merger may be off the table, but T-Mobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom is walking away from the deal with a smile on its face. The communications giant released the details of what AT&T agreed to pay for the privilege of bidding on its business, and it's an impressive set of benefits. AT&T's $3B (approximately €2.29B) payment will reportedly be used to pay down DT's debts in other areas. What T-Mobile is getting is a large package of AWS spectrum in 128 market areas, including 12 of the top 20 ((Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Washington, Boston, San Francisco, Phoenix, San Diego, Denver, Baltimore and Seattle). As a result, DT's population coverage... Read more...

Allio 42-inch HDTV with PC and Blu-ray Player
It use to be that the big buzz word going around the industry was convergence. In the multimedia living room of tomorrow, a melding of the capabilities of various entertainment center components, along with the computer functionalities, is the end goal that will culminate into a more intelligent, connected entertainment center. Or at least it seems to be. Granted, the HTPC (Home Theater PC) has come a long way at making that goal a reality but you'd have to agree we're not there quite yet. Interestingly, in a reverse merger sort of fashion, Boulder CO company Silicon Mountain (mountain of silicon perhaps?) steps out today with the first fully integrated HDTV PC product. ...

CEA: DTV Transition Video Contest on YouTube
How would you like to be the unofficial spokesperson for the U.S. transition to digital television (DTV) and win a home entertainment system in the process? All you need is a video camera and a YouTube account. The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)--sponsor of the yearly consumer electronics circus, CES, in Las Vegas--is promoting a contest for user-submitted videos "that educates the public on how to prepare friends and family for the digital television (DTV) transition." The contest kicked off a few days ago on YouTube with a call-to-arms video featuring the country music group, Whiskey Falls. User submitted videos to the contest must be less than three minutes in length and in English.... Read more...

Wilmington's DTV Experiment Gets a Green Light
In May, the FCC announced that Wilmington, North Carolina had volunteered to be the victims, er, first community to switch completely over to digital TV. Although there were concerns that Tropical Storm Hanna would cause a postponement of the switch, the FCC announced on Sunday that the experiment would still go live on Monday, Sept. 8th.About 15% of Americans still get their TV over-the-air, via antennas, and when the switch to DTV takes place, many of them will require converter boxes. Coupons to subsidize the cost of these boxes are available, with a value of $40. Each household can get 2 of these coupons.In a press release, the FCC said: The early digital switch in...

Battle Of The Bandwidth Titans
We often take the internet for granted, not necesarilly aware of the struggles that go on behind the scenes, such as that between U.S. based Cogent and Swedish TaliaSonera. Presently these two large bandwidth providers are fighting over peering issues:"According to Cogent CEO David Schaeffer, TeliaSonera peered data selectively and refused to upgrade bandwidth at some of the companies' peering connections, causing traffic to take long, winding routes around the internet and saturating peered connections' pipes."Schaeffer went on to imply that the loss of routing to their customers (and eventually consumers down the road) was not a result of their spat with TeliaSonera, but likely had more to...

1 TB/Sec Memory Bandwidth: Where Do We Sign Up?
Modern PCs are inching closer and closer to having 10 GB/sec or more usable memory bandwidth, and we haven't really had any complaints about the steady increase until we heard that Rambus was working on technology that could enable 1 TB/sec of memory bandwidth.The applications for graphics cards and consoles are certainly interesting, but we think that desktop and server CPUs might also end up benefiting from such an increase. Consider that when Intel released the P4, its theoretical memory bandwidth was 6.4 GB/sec, and that was 4 years ago. Today's CPUs have 4 cores, and it is safe to say each core is faster overall and thus could use more bandwidth.So how does Rambus plan... Read more...

AMD DTX Small Form Factor System Sneak Peek
It was back in January of this year at the Consumer Electronics Show that AMD first revealed their plans for the DTX open industry standard for small form factor computers. The focus of those early briefings was to explain AMD's vision for interoperable small form factor systems. As it stands today, most SFF systems from large companies like Dell and HP are proprietary designs and only a select few parts can be swapped between them. On the do-it-yourself front, we've got form factors like Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX and SFF barebones systems from major players like Shuttle, Asus and MSI, but again, for the most part you can't take parts from one company's SFF design and use it...

Comcast: Goodbye & Thanks For All The Bandwidth!
Unlimited. The Princeton on-line dictionary offers several possible usages of the word, however the one that would directly apply to the consumption of some resource would be the following:inexhaustible: that cannot be entirely consumed or used up; "an inexhaustible supply of coal" That definition makes perfect sense to most, but apparently not to some ISPs.Comcast, who was recently accused of putting the kibosh on P2P traffic, is now cutting off customers that it feels have used 'too much' of their unlimited bandwidth.According to Comcast the people are abusing the system, which actually makes the surfing experience worse for other users. Comcast also contends that they give a month-long grace... Read more...

BeyondTrust Tames Vista's UAC Pop-Ups
One of the first things we did upon installing Windows Vista was to turn of the User Account Control (UAC). Why? Because we didn't want all the pop-ups generated by the darn thing. And most people we know have turned it off as well. If we were to be generous, we would say the pop-ups are confusing. If we were to be honest, we would say they are annoying. "The things that were scaring us away from Vista were the hardware requirements and UAC," says Omar Ghneim, network administrator for EXCO Resources, an energy company based in Dallas. "We tried Vista on a few administrators' machines, but they couldn't handle the pop-ups and we went back to XP the next day."Ghneim says he could not... Read more...

World's Largest HDTV Goes on Sale in July
It's big. Really big. At 110 inches (279.4 cm), Japan Victor Corporation's (JVC) HD-110MH80 takes the crown as the world's largest high definition TV set. Everything about it is big: it is 3 feet deep, weighs 728 pounds, and will cost about $53,000 (USD). The HD-110MH80 offers 1920x1080 resolution, 1080p images, and 5000:1 contrast ratio. This behemoth goes on sale in July, but deliveries will start in October. Although impressive, it would be a major pain to move one of these things to another room, let alone to another home. However, it is probably safe to assume that whoever can afford this set will probably just pay people to move it for them anyway.... Read more...

Confusion in terms of economy is BJP government: Prank
by ismail attar September 12, 2019
The situation of economic crisis in the country is being witnessed and Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi has once again criticized the Modi government over the slowdown in the auto sector and the decline in vehicle sales in such an environment. He has targeted the statement of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in which he said that Ola-Ober has caused a slowdown in the auto sector.
Priyanka Gandhi tweeted, in which she wrote that "before the election, it was said that Ola-Ober had increased employment." Now it is being said that Ola-Ober has slowed down in the auto sector. Why is the BJP government so convinced about the economy? "
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra
@priyankagandhi
Prior to the election, it was said that Ola-Uber has increased employment. Now, it is being said that due to Ola-Uber the auto sector has slowed down.

Auto sector decline due to Ola Uber: Nirmala Sitharaman
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said 100 days of Modi government-II was completed, due to decline in automobile sector.
12:20 PM - Sep 12, 2019
4,744 people are talking about this
It is pertinent to note that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said in her statement that "BS6 and the change in people's thinking are having an impact on the automobile industry. People are now preferring to buy Ola or Ober instead of buying a car. "However, shortly after his statement, Maruti's chairman RC Bhargo denied that the sale of cars was affected by Ola-Ober. Have had He also blamed government policies for this. Bhargo had said that due to high petrol-diesel tax rates and road tax, people are refusing to buy cars. However, he had said that the GST reduction was not going to make any difference. The industry, on the other hand, is demanding a reduction in GST to tackle this slump.
It may be recalled that Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi had earlier made several tweets about the country's economic condition and criticized the Modi government. He had earlier said, "The economy is falling into a deep well of recession. The sword is hanging over the jobs of millions of Indians. "Priyanka Gandhi also wrote that" The decline in the auto sector and truck sector is a sign of negative development and market breakdown in production-transportation ". At the same time, the question was, "When will the government open its eyes?"

Il pentathlon moderno è una combinazione di sport creati appositamente per i Giochi olimpici estivi dal fondatore dei Giochi olimpici moderni il barone Pierre de Coubertin, ispirato dal pentathlon dei Giochi olimpici antichi in cui si competeva su discipline di cui doveva essere dotato il soldato ideale. Su quest'esempio, il moderno pentathlon si ispira alla cavalleria del XIX secolo di fronte alla linea nemica, quindi: in grado di cavalcare un destriero sconosciuto; in grado di combattere e con la pistola e con la spada, oltre a saper sia nuotare che correre.A tal proposito il pentatleta gareggia nelle seguenti discipline:

Tempers were not improved when the highly paid energy boss failed to take the opportunity to engage with NGO concerns at the follow up discussion session scheduled for the next day.
Wright himself effectively acknowledges how meaningless this adoption of the protocol is, with the modest conclusion that it "has increased the capacity of its staff to understand the linkages of the Protocol and related human rights issues with each phase of the project".
The report entirely fails to mention that the Murum Dam was constructed and completed before gestures towards community consultation or compensation agreements were even attempted.
Nor does it admit that the social environmental impact assessments were not published until after the completion of the dam. Far from being objective, these were controlled by a government agency, the NREB, which is headed by the Minister for Resource Planning, Taib himself.
Neither have there been any reported sightings of the promised teachers, trainers or medical workers anywhere near these resettlement sites, despite Nick Wright's fulsome promises about immediate and massive improvements.
And, given similar promises of modernisation were made by Taib when he took the timber and then cleared the land for oil palm these native people are right to be sceptical.
Sarawak has literally gone to the dogs under the Taib Mahmud regime. The state has been raped and plundered by him and his family of cronies! High time for the natives of Sarawak to say 'NO'! They must take the fight to his doorstep! Ngap Sayot? A far cry for today's y cowardly "plastic apais" who don't dare have the guts to fight back! Most of them get high on alcohol everyday. That is how the white men controlled the American Red Indians and the Australian aborigines. Your ancestors must be crying in their graves!!
