An impacted tooth simply means that it is "stuck" and cannot erupt into function. Patients frequently develop problems with impacted third molar (wisdom) teeth. These teeth get "stuck" in the back of the jaw and can develop painful infections among a host of other problems (see Impacted Wisdom Teeth under Procedures). Since there is rarely a functional need for wisdom teeth, they are usually extracted. The maxillary cuspid (upper eyetooth) is the second most common tooth to become impacted. The cuspid tooth is a critical tooth in the dental arch and plays an important role in your "bite". The cuspid teeth are very strong biting teeth and have the longest roots of any human teeth. They are designed to be the first teeth that touch when your jaws close together so they guide the rest of the teeth into the proper bite. Normally, the maxillary cuspid teeth are the last of the "front" teeth to erupt into place. They usually come into place around age 13 and cause any space left between the upper front teeth to close tighter together. If a cuspid tooth gets impacted, every effort is made to get it to erupt into its proper position in the dental arch. The techniques involved to aid eruption can be applied to any impacted tooth in the upper or lower jaw, but most commonly they are applied to the maxillary cuspid (upper eye) teeth. Sixty percent of these impacted eyeteeth are located on the palatal (roof of the mouth) side of the dental arch. The remaining impacted eye teeth are found in the middle of the supporting bone but stuck in an elevated position above the roots of the adjacent teeth or out to the facial side of the dental arch.
In cases where the eyeteeth will not erupt spontaneously, the orthodontist and oral surgeon work together to get these unerupted eyeteeth to erupt. Each case must be evaluated on an individual basis but treatment will usually involve a combined effort between the orthodontist and the oral surgeon. The most common scenario will call for the orthodontist to place braces on the teeth (at least the upper arch). A space will be opened to provide room for the impacted tooth to be moved into its proper position in the dental arch. If the baby eyetooth has not fallen out already, it is usually left in place until the space for the adult eyetooth is ready. Once the space is ready, the orthodontist will refer the patient to the oral surgeon to have the impacted eyetooth exposed and bracketed. In a simple surgical procedure performed in the surgeon's office, the gum on top of the impacted tooth will be lifted up to expose the hidden tooth underneath. If there is a baby tooth present, it will be removed at the same time. Once the tooth is exposed, the oral surgeon will bond an orthodontic bracket to the exposed tooth. The bracket will have a miniature gold chain attached to it. The oral surgeon will guide the chain back to the orthodontic arch wire where it will be temporarily attached. Sometimes the surgeon will leave the exposed impacted tooth completely uncovered by suturing the gum up high above the tooth or making a window in the gum covering the tooth (on selected cases located on the roof of the mouth). Most of the time, the gum will be returned to its original location and sutured back with only the chain remaining visible as it exits a small hole in the gum. Shortly after surgery (1-14 days) the patient will return to the orthodontist. A rubber band will be attached to the chain to put a light eruptive pulling force on the impacted tooth. This will begin the process of moving the tooth into its proper place in the dental arch. This is a carefully controlled, slow process that may take up to a full year to complete. Remember, the goal is to erupt the impacted tooth and not to extract it! Once the tooth is moved into the arch in its final position, the gum around it will be evaluated to make sure it is sufficiently strong and healthy to last for a lifetime of chewing and tooth brushing. In some circumstances, especially those where the tooth had to be moved a long distance, there may be some minor "gum surgery" required to add bulk to the gum tissue over the relocated tooth so it remains healthy during normal function. Your dentist or orthodontist will explain this situation to you if it applies to your specific situation.
These basic principals can be adapted to apply to any impacted tooth in the mouth. It is not that uncommon for both of the maxillary cuspids to be impacted. In these cases, the space in the dental arch form will be prepared on both sides at once. When the orthodontist is ready, the surgeon will expose and bracket both teeth in the same visit so the patient only has to heal from surgery once. Because the anterior teeth (incisors and cuspids) and the bicuspid teeth are small and have single roots, they are easier to erupt if they get impacted than the posterior molar teeth. The molar teeth are much bigger teeth and have multiple roots making them more difficult to move. The orthodontic maneuvers needed to manipulate an impacted molar tooth can be more complicated because of their location in the back of the dental arch. Recent studies have revealed that with early identification of impacted eyeteeth (or any other impacted tooth other than wisdom teeth), treatment should be initiated at a younger age. Once the general dentist or hygienist identifies a potential eruption problem, the patient should be referred to the orthodontist for early evaluation. In some cases the patient will be sent to the oral surgeon before braces are even applied to the teeth. As mentioned earlier, the surgeon will be asked to remove over-retained baby teeth and/or selected adult teeth. He will also remove any extra teeth or growths that are blocking eruption of the developing adult teeth. Finally, he may be asked to simply expose an impacted eyetooth without attaching a bracket and chain to it. In reality, this is an easier surgical procedure to perform than having to expose and bracket the impacted tooth. This will encourage some eruption to occur before the tooth becomes totally impacted (stuck). By the time the patient is at the proper age for the orthodontist to apply braces to the dental arch, the eyetooth will have erupted enough that the orthodontist can bond a bracket to it and move it into place without needing to force its eruption. In the long run, this saves time for the patient and means less time in braces (always a plus for any patient!).
The surgery to expose and bracket an impacted tooth is a very straightforward surgical procedure that is performed in the oral surgeon's office. For most patients, it is performed with using laughing gas and local anesthesia. In selected cases it will be performed under IV sedation if the patient desires to be asleep, but this is generally not necessary for this procedure. The procedure is generally scheduled for 75 minutes if one tooth is being exposed and bracketed and 105 minutes if both sides require treatment. If the procedure only requires exposing the tooth with no bracketing, the time required will be shortened by about one half. These issues will be discussed in detail at your preoperative consultation with your doctor. You can also refer to Preoperative Instructions under Surgical Instructions on this website for a review of any details. You can expect a limited amount of bleeding from the surgical sites after surgery. Although there will be some discomfort after surgery at the surgical sites, most patients find Tylenol or Advil to be more than adequate to manage any pain they may have. Within two to three days after surgery there is usually little need for any medication at all. There may be some swelling from holding the lip up to visualize the surgical site; it can be minimized by applying ice packs to the lip for the afternoon after surgery. Bruising is not a common finding at all after these cases. A soft, bland diet is recommended at first, but you may resume your normal diet as soon as you feel comfortable chewing. It is advised that you avoid sharp food items like crackers and chips as they will irritate the surgical site if they jab the wound during initial healing. Your doctor will see you seven to ten days after surgery to evaluate the healing process and make sure you are maintaining good oral hygiene. You should plan to see your orthodontist within 1-14 days to activate the eruption process by applying the proper rubber band to the chain on your tooth. As always your doctor is available at the office or can be beeped after hours if any problems should arise after surgery. Simply call Southern Georgia Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Hinesville at 912-408-7100 or in Waycross at 912-285-1437, or in Douglas at 912-260-1623 if you have any questions.

The Endocrine Surgery Program at Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin is dedicated to improving the care of patients with endocrine disorders. This program uses a multidisciplinary approach to provide the latest advances in endocrine surgery.
The Endocrine Surgery Program at Froedtert Hospital and the Medical College of Wisconsin is dedicated to improving the care of patients with benign and malignant endocrine disorders of the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands as well as inherited endocrine syndromes, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 1 and 2.
We use a multidisciplinary approach to provide the latest advances in endocrine surgery, including minimally invasive and laparoscopic techniques. These include:
Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy
Intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring
Minimally invasive (laparoscopic) adrenalectomy
Transabdominal
Posterior retroperitoneal
Outpatient procedures for selected patients
Our surgeons work closely with physicians from the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Clinical Nutrition, Endocrine Center at Community Memorial Medical Commons, Department of Radiology, and Department of Pathology.
Specialized Surgery - American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES)
All of the surgeons in the Endocrine Surgery program are members of the American Association of Endocrine Surgeons (AAES), an international organization devoted to the research and treatment of endocrine surgery. Membership is limited to Fellows of the American College of Surgeons who have a major interest and devote significant portions of their practice to the field of endocrine Surgery.
The Medical College of Wisconsin is one of a few organizations that has had two faculty members assume the presidency of the AAES. Dr. Stuart Wilson is a founding member and past president of the organization and in 2010-2011, Dr. Douglas Evans served as the 31st President of the AAES. Dr. Evans is currently on the AAES Council and a member of the Nominating Committee. Dr. Tracy Wang served a three-year term (2012-2015) as the Chair of the AAES Fellowship Committee and also serves on the ad hoc Accreditation Committee.
Endocrine Surgery: Surgical Outcomes
Thyroid and parathyroid surgery is associated with low rates of morbidity from procedure-specific complications, such as neck hematoma, hypocalcemia, and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury. Still, clinical series and population-level studies consistently demonstrate that high-volume thyroid and parathyroid surgeons have better patient outcomes than lower-volume surgeons.
The endocrine surgeons at the Medical College of Wisconsin are among the highest volume surgeons for thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal surgery in Wisconsin, with over 1,400 procedures performed from 2009–2013. Before and after surgery, patients are managed by a dedicated group of surgeons, nurses, and allied health professionals, allowing for perioperative teaching, continuity of care, and long-term follow-up. This allows for some of the best patient outcomes following thyroid and parathyroid surgery:
Transient hypocalcemia requiring oral calcium supplementation is <10% and the rate of permanent hypoparathyroidism is <1%.
A recent randomized, prospective study completed by Dr. Wang and the Endocrine Surgery program has led to the creation of a standardized protocol for calcium supplementation for patients after total thyroidectomy.
The rate of neck hematoma requiring reoperation is 0.9%.
The rate of transient recurrent laryngeal nerve injury is 1.5%.
The long-term cure rate following parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism is 97%.

Three Afghan women media workers killed in separate attacks
Three female journalists from Enikass TV were shot dead by unknown gunmen in two separate attacks as they attempted to return home from work on March 2. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and its affiliate the Afghan Independent Journalists' Association (AIJA) strongly condemn the horrendous attack and call for urgent measures to rectify the deplorable safety situation for media workers in the country.
Mursal Wahidi, Sadia Sadat, and Shahnaz Roafi, who all worked in Enikass TV's dubbing division, were gunned down in different locations in the eastern city of Jalalabad, in Nangarhār province. Saadia and Shahnaz were the first to be shot in Jalalabad police district one (PD1) around 4 pm, while Mursal Habibi was killed in police district four (PD4) within minutes of that attack. The triple murder is the latest in a string of targeted attacks on media workers which is happening on the backdrop of US-brokered attempts to negotiate an end to the country's civil war.
Ekinass had earlier informed Afghanistan's national intelligence agency about threats to its staff, but had no information of threats directed at particular employees. On December 10, 2020, Malala Maiwand, a female TV anchor for Enikass TV and Radio, was also killed by gunmen in Nangarhar. The Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for the shooting, terming her a "pro-regime" journalist.
Enikass TV director, Zalmay Latifi, said the network was accustomed to receiving threats from groups active in the region for its news coverage and had taken precautions to protect its staff.
According to AIJA, the assailants fled from the scene following the assassinations. No group has claimed responsibility for the murder but AIJA said the negligence of the Afghan security forces had exacerbated an already dire safety situation. Afghan police later reported the arrest of a key Taliban leader in connection with the murders but the Taliban denied its involvement in an issued statement.
Since peace talks started between the Taliban and the Afghan government in September 2020, attacks against media workers have continued to rise. The UN mission in Afghanistan has reported that at least 11 human defenders and media workers were killed in targeted attacks in Afghanistan from September 12 to January 31, 2021. IFJ monitoring has recorded six deaths of media workers since that time.

Review: A Stellar Ensemble, Killer Outfits, and an Array of Fleetwood Mac Tracks Can't Add Heat to the Disappointing 'The Kitchen'
By Roxana Hadadi | Film | August 9, 2019 |
The Kitchen lets you know from its opening scene what kind of movie it is going to be: As "It's a Man's Man's World" plays and Etta James wails about how the world would be "nothing without a woman or a girl," we see the filthy, filmy New York City of 1978, and the three primary women of the film suffering their matrimonial indignities. Kathy Brennan (Melissa McCarthy) folds laundry as her husband leaves, refusing to answer her question about his plans with his "I got a thing to take care of." Battered wife Claire Walsh (Elisabeth Moss) holds ice to her bruised face, a soothing gesture her husband mocks. And the disrespected Ruby O'Carroll (Tiffany Haddish) can only stand there and take it as her husband calls her "so fucking lazy" for buying a different kind of beer than the brand he prefers.
All of these women are limited and underestimated by their husbands, and sure, it's a man's world, but have you ever thought about what women could do if given the chance? Don't you think they would just kick ass? That is basically the very simplistic argument of The Kitchen, which lacks nuance in practically every aspect of its filmmaking. The script forces characters to tell us exactly how they're feeling instead of relying on performances to show it. The narrative jumps forward in huge chunks of time, leaving out important development and context. There are twists and turns that are totally unnecessary, swerving the story in a third-act direction it doesn't need. Common is here, doing mostly nothing aside from staring stoically and rocking a hilarious mustache. The Kitchen had all the elements to be so, so good, but filmmaker Andrea Berloff, who adapted the comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle, can't make it hang together. The kindest thing to say about The Kitchen is that this could have been three pretty solid movies if each of the women had her own separate film, but as one combined portrait of '70s womanhood, the cohesion just isn't there.
The Kitchen focuses on Kathy, Clare, and Ruby after their husbands Jimmy (Brian d'Arcy James), Rob (Jeremy Bobb), and Kevin (James Badge Dale, as electrifyingly scary here as he was in Mickey and the Bear) are arrested by FBI agents (Common and E.J. Bonilla) following the Irish mob. Sent away for three years, the men assure their wives that the mob, led by Little Jackie Quinn (Myk Watford), will take care of them. But the Irish aren't running the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood like they used to: Crime is up and trust in the mob is low, and so payments are down, too. The envelopes of money the women receive aren't cutting it.
So, on their own, the women that mob matriarch Helen O'Carroll (Margo Martindale) calls "fucking twats" decide to start collecting. They know how to run a family in the domestic sphere, they reason, and is it really that different to foray into organized crime? Apparently not, because suddenly they're phenomenally successful, counting stacks of cash. What kind of protection are they offering? Just a couple of Kathy's cousins. (The movie loves making easy "The Irish sure do love having kids!" jokes by mentioning how many of Kathy's relatives are connected to the mob). But the store owners trust these three women, and soon, there's a war brewing between Kathy, Clare, and Ruby and the Irish—and then, later on, between the women themselves.
The Kitchen keeps getting compared with Widows, and to a certain degree, I get it: Both imagine women getting revenge on the men who wronged them, and there's a criminal element and urban focus to each. But Widows took the time to build its world—not necessarily the relationships between the women and their husbands, but the women themselves. Their desires for the future and how their bonds with each other either supported those concepts or lived outside of them was a central concern, alongside explorations into capitalist power, sexism, classism, and racism. The Kitchen isn't nearly that meticulously designed. Things just happen in this movie with no sort of consequence and no internal effect on the characters' world, and the only constant in the storytelling is Berloff's insertion of girl-power-lite dialogue.
"I'm taking care of myself," Kathy tells Jimmy; "I am not gonna get knocked around ever again," Clare insists; "We don't need a man coming in here fighting our battles," the women say. And that's all fine, if the movie could support and then elaborate upon these ideas. The Kitchen does not, despite a strong against-type performance from McCarthy, a mixture of wide-eyed naivete and steely resolve from Moss, and a blast of confidence from Haddish. It flirts with Kathy's feelings of inadequacy, but then turns her into a union-supporting matriarch instead. It pays lip service to Ruby's feelings of racial disenfranchisement, but then out of nowhere, she's making plans to run Harlem. The only subplot that really works is the romance between Clare and damaged Vietnam vet and assassin Gabriel (Domhnall Gleeson, thankfully very hot in this), who sees in Clare a great capacity for violence and nurtures it. While Gleeson adds some delightfully gross levity to the film—a scene where he explains to the women how to use various knives to dismember a body, during which Clare listens with rapt, gleeful attention—the movie bungles his introduction. You'll spend at least the first 10 minutes of Gleeson's time onscreen wondering, "Wait, who is that guy?" because the script does such a poor job explaining his presence in the story.
From a style perspective, The Kitchen certainly delivers. The costumes from Sarah Edwards are thoughtful and attention-grabbing; once the women start raking in money, their jewelry and outfits get an appropriate upgrade, and the trio looks great. Cinematographer Maryse Alberti puts together a few scenes evocative of '70s-era Scorsese, with a griminess that is appropriate to the women's increasing violence. Although the film relies too much on its soundtrack to set the mood, I will never complain about hearing Fleetwood Mac while watching Gleeson's loose-limbed, shaggy-haired, sad-eyed Gabriel teach Clare how to get revenge on the men who catcall her one minute and then call her a "fucking bitch" the next. (An experience I'm sure many women can recognize.)
The Kitchen doesn't deliver the rah-rah feminist energy it so desperately wants to because it can't quite decide what it's actually saying about womanhood. Is the issue that men just flat-out don't respect women? The film doesn't support that; we see the power Helen commands. Is the issue that women get caught up in the same racial stereotyping as men? The film only introduces that idea in its final 15 or so minutes, when it needs to engineer discord within the trio. Is the issue that women can and should be more than wives and mothers, and that society doesn't support that? I suppose that's what The Kitchen is trying to convey, but it muddies its own messaging with its insistence that matriarchal energy is what keeps people happy and that baked cookies brought to mob meetings are a nice touch. In the space of a few minutes of screen time, one character tells Kathy she's a "criminal" while another tells her she's a "credit to the community." Either description could have worked for the women in The Kitchen if the movie put in the work to make any characterizations, plot twists, or narrative jumps believable—which it doesn't.

British Columbia has some great cities for someone looking to settle down or find a great vacation spot. No matter what you're looking for, there's nothing you cannot find in Vernon. Townhomes for sale, houses, condos, lots, you name it. And we're not talking only about the real estate market, as great as that is. If you're looking to buy a Townhome in Vernon, work with us to find the home of your dreams.
British Columbia has many great cities where more and more people move. The warm climate, economic stability and relaxed lifestyle are the main attractions. But, let's not forget that, other than that, the scenery is breathtaking, the environment clean and there are so many activities, for both indoors and outdoors. In Vernon, you can spend time in the nature hiking, rock climbing, windsurfing, swimming, boating, etc. or enjoy the art scene by going to museums, galleries or concerts.
If houses or condos don't seem like the right properties for you to live in, then a townhome might be the answer. It's the perfect combination between the two and it might be just what you're looking for. They are individual houses placed side-by-side, having one or two walls shared between adjacent homes.
Let's take a look at the advantages of owning one.
Living in a townhome makes you part of a small community that will help you if you ever need it. There are safety measures, such as a gate and a doorman that supervises who is coming in and going out, just so that all the inhabitants can feel safer in their houses.
Another benefit of owning this type of property is that it's cheaper. The down payment is lower than the one for a house, the utility bills are smaller since the living area is like that too. Also, the maintenance costs are shared so you won't have to pay by yourself for everything. All the residents contribute.
You will have just the amount of extra benefits one needs. And you won't have to pay a fortune for it. Having access to a gym and a pool can really improve the life quality. Also, by frequenting these places you have the opportunity to know the neighbors better and bond with them.

AMBRIDGE, Pa. (KDKA) — Months into the coronavirus pandemic and many are still struggling to put food on the table for their loved ones.
Milk, something that seems so simple and easily accessible, is becoming a product some families just can't afford. We're seeing many go to distribution sites for the first time.
"COVID has hit people that never ever thought they would be in a position that needed help," said Cindy Deschaine, the director of Outreach for Beaver Valley Parishes.
In the parking lot of the Good Samaritan Catholic Church in Ambridge, gallons of milk were handed out for free.
"We partner with Schneider's Dairy. This is part of the COVID Food Assistance program," said John Chrisman, the director of Retail Marketing and Insights for the American Dairy Association.
"We're expecting probably over 500 families today," said Chrisman.
Since June, tens of thousands of gallons of milk have been given away in distribution events much like this one.
And while the pandemic has put a strain on families, dairy farms have also suffered.
"When you close down schools, hotels, restaurants, amusement parks, there's a big deficit that needs to be overcome," said Chrisman.
"So we have to be here for each other. The only way we're all going to get through this is if we do it together," said Deschaine.
In total, around 1,000 gallons of milk will be handed out to families today.

Busy Working on a Book!
Stuart's is currently working on a book for Osprey Publications that will feature approximately 60 of his locomotive illustrations. Precise details are being kept on close hold but it should be in the book shops by the end of the year.
There have been a number of new locomotive prints released over the past year, some in conjunction with the new book, the latest being the '40th Anniversary of the High Speed Train'. Who hasn't been on one of these? They are undoubtedly the best trains ever produced by Great Britain. One has been specially repainted in original livery and named after the designer 'Sir Kenneth Grange' - and is the main image featured on the print.

HANOVER, N.H. —
A decades-old mural at the center of a debate at Dartmouth College is getting a new home.
The Hovey Mural, located in a closed-off section of a campus dining hall, will be moving to the college's Hood Museum for storage and used as teaching tool.
"We did not want them destroyed so that they could be preserved as an artifact of the uglier side of Dartmouth's history," professor N. Bruce Duthu said.
The mural was inspired by a drinking song written by Richard Hovey, created in the late 1930s as a depiction of Dartmouth's founding.
"Images of native people that are latent with the animals. You see bears and other animals. The women are depicted mostly naked or are predominantly naked. One is holding a book upside down as if education is not having much of an impact or an appropriate subject for them," Duthu said.
Duthu is a Dartmouth graduate and said this has been disputed for a while.
"In the 70s, you get a very different demographic group of students at Dartmouth and images like the Hovey murals became sights of contention," he said.
Students on campus agreed it was the right move.

Which Countries Attended Opening of US Embassy in Jerusalem
16th May 2018 indexer Uncategorised 0
Thirty-two countries attend US ceremony to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem, says Israel's foreign ministry.
The United States has formally opened its embassy in Jerusalem amid deadly protests in the Gaza Strip.
The move on Monday followed a December 2017 decision by US President Donald Trump to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and relocate the US mission there from Tel Aviv.
Trump's controversial declaration was widely condemned by the international community, with the United Nations General Assembly rejecting by a huge majority the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Most countries say the status of Jerusalem – a sacred city to Jews, Muslims and Christians – should be determined in a final peace settlement and that moving their embassies now would pre-judge any such deal.
Israel's foreign ministry said all 86 countries with diplomatic missions in Israel were invited to the embassy opening, and 33 confirmed attendance. However, the Nigerian and Thai representatives did not attend.
Here is a breakdown of the countries that attended the ceremony:
A: Albania, Angola, Austria
C: Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Czech Republic
D: Dominican Republic
E: El Salvador, Ethiopia
G: Georgia, Guatemala
H: Honduras, Hungary
K: Kenya
M: Myanmar, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia
P: Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines
R: Romania, Rwanda
S: Serbia, South Sudan
T: Tanzania
U: Ukraine

Appointment of Masood Khan as Pakistan Ambassador to US opposed by HAF-led coalition
An interfaith-interethic coalition of community organizations, spearheaded by the Hindu American Foundation, has written to Secretary of State Antony Blinken urging the rejection of Masood Khan as Pakistan's new ambassador to the United States.
The letter, signed by HAF, Middle East Forum, Armenian National Committee of America, the Hellenic American Leadership Council, American Friends of Kurdistan, Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, World Sindhi Congress, Indo American Kashmir Forum, and Sindhi Foundation, asserts:
"While it is certainly true that the US will have differences of opinion, even on very significant, fundamental issues, with many states around the world, Mr. Khan's record is not just one of taking the side of his country, but one of specific, overt support for members of US designated terrorist organizations."
The letter concludes that Mr Khan's appointment must be rejected and that while the US does need to have a relationship with Pakistan, "it does not need to normalize this kind of overt support for sub-state terrorist actors by accepting one of their most powerful and public apologists as an ambassador."

Tough Topics and Boys
Rachel Jun 2 2014
I was recently working on a resource list of fiction & non-fiction pertaining to Mental Health issues for a school board, and as I divided the books into their respective categories, I noticed something disturbing. While there were certainly some books with male characters that dealt with drinking, drugs, and even suicide, I discovered that 99% of the books pertaining to eating disorders had female characters.
Upon doing some research, I discovered that eating disorders and boys seems to be an almost non-existent topic in Kids/YA fiction. While women are more commonly affected by eating disorders (and culturally we associate them with girls/women) millions of boys and men suffer from eating disorders as well. Anorexia, Bulimia, and binge eating all occur in men, but where are these stories in literature? My searches came up with only a handful that dealt with boys and weight issues, and fewer still which was about boys with eating disorders or body issues.
So why aren't these stories being written? Is it because eating disorders are perceived to be a female issue? Because men and teenage boys don't ever feel self-conscious about their weight?
Puberty, it seems provides tons of opportunity for humour at the middle-grade level. We laugh about the awkward stages that both boys and girls go through as their bodies start to change. We nod and smile knowingly for having experienced it ourselves and embrace these books for both boys and girls.
At the YA level, the game changes, and suddenly we stop laughing at ourselves, and boys and body issues virtually disappear. What would a book like Wintergirls I wonder, if the main characters had been boys? What if there were a novel about two boys starving themselves to try and be the skinniest until one of them ultimately dies? Is there room in the YA market for a book such as that, and more importantly, if it did, would boys actually read it?

Men and boys absolutely feel self-conscious about their weight and about their bodies. I think the reason we don't see these things, however, is that the perception is it's a 'girl problem'. I don't know if it's because guys suffer from it in less numbers than girls, are conditioned by society to keep it to themselves, or something else, but you really don't hear about it in the same way. It could also be an attitude of "Guys don't want to read about this sort of thing, they want to read about blah blah blah."
I think we need to give boys more credit for wanting to read a larger variety of things, and put it out t here for them.
Taurean J. Watkins Jun 10 2014 at 1:06 am #
I agree we just don't give boys and men enough credit and that's hurting them in both the short and long term.
NPR did a story on this subject some time ago that I think can be a great primer to start a dialogue with-
http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/10/07/229164585/for-boys-with-eating-disorders-finding-treatment-can-be-hard
That said, Patrick has a point, it's often easier to face this stuff when it's layered amongst other things in the story. That said, you shouldn't use that layering to "dumb down" the issues, but show them off in a way that's honest and also respectful. We're often our own worst critics of the things we know we're not proud of, and while others insensitivity to our struggles is hurftul, we often tell ourselves far harsher things in secret.
It's a tough tightrope to walk here.
But as a guy myself, I do feel some of this is simply underestimating how-
A. Self-reflective boys and men are in general.
B. That even boys and men who DON'T prescribe to "traditional male roles" that involve sports in particular still have hang-ups about their bodies (I do and I'm closer to 30 than 20 now)
We (indirectly/subconsciously if not directly) tell those "Man up/don't cry" myths for so long we create boys and men with these shells that block out so much of what they need, leaving only anger, power, and fatally low levels of self-worth. Then we wonder why they don't get help when the next big school shooting or suicide tragedy blasts across the world…
We don't make it easy for boys and men to honest with dehumanizing them. There aren't enough (non-sports) places that can be that safe haven where they can cry, scream, whatever to get the pain out in a safe, healthy way. Where are the male empowerment programs that Dove does for girls and women? Why can't there be some for non-athletes (student or pro) like me?
I personally don't have an eating disorder, but like anyone else struggle to eat healthier, and don't exercise like I should. But I know what it's like to feel alone in your pain. At least with girls and women, we have the support groups, and knowledge to fight the ignorance, especially they're heavy for their age but not necessarily a health risk.
The scary thing for me is learning that boys as young as 8 are bulimic or have anorexia.
Nancy Tandon Jun 2 2014 at 8:07 am #
This is very interesting; something I hadn't thought about. Rachel – I would love to see the titles that you did find, out of curiousity. I haven't read it, but the one that comes to mind for me is STAYING FAT FOR SARAH BYRNES by Chris Crutcher.
Julie Jun 2 2014 at 9:33 am #
The book that comes to mind for me is FAT KID RULES THE WORLD by KL Going. That's the only book I can think of with a boy protagonist that deals with weight issues/body image, but it is a great book. 🙂

I am a high school teacher, and over the past 11 years that I've been teaching, I have seen quite a few teen boys struggle with weight and eating disorders. Most of them have been athletes, especially wrestlers who have crazy extreme crash diets to make weight and football players who are eating excessive calories and protein shakes to bulk up. However, since these are sports related, it seen as desirable, rather than dangerous. Many of their parents, friends, and coaches encourage it for the sake of better performance. This year I even had a wrestler pass out in my English class because he hadn't consumed anything for 3 days, only allowing himself 1 liter of water per day. The nurse was called to my room and he was treated, but the next day when he returned he was happy because he had made weight that next morning, so he said it was all worth it, and that his coach had congratulated him on such dedication to his sport. I think boys and girls would read a book about eating disorders if they revolved around sports. I think there must be some books out there about the dangers of steroids, which is a form of metabolic manipulation, but I think a book about making weight or bulking up would be something a lot of kids would read.
Patrick Stahl Jun 2 2014 at 11:30 pm #
It is my estimation as a teen boy (although one who doesn't have any eating disorders) that most teen boys who have eating disorders aren't the type who like to read mainstream YA books. If they're reading anything, it's probably going to be a speculative work, a thriller, or whatever series is most popular at the time. Teen boys with eating disorders are much more likely to bond with other teen boys with eating disorders, I suspect, than teen girls are. In this regard, I'm not sure that enough of them would venture toward a novel centered around the subject out of a need for "someone who understands" to constitute a solid market. A really good self-published novel may see moderate success, but this idea would probably work best if hidden within a bulk of other ideas in a less-mainstream sort of novel.
G. Howell Jun 3 2014 at 2:44 pm #
Two recent traditionally-published titles to note, featuring boys dealing with eating disorders:
A Trick of Light (2013, Balzer & Bray) by Lori Metzger
Skin and Bones (2014, Albert Whitman Teen) by Sherry Shahan

The entire team will carry the flame on Jan. 15.
KT Rolster's League of Legends roster is set to become one of the first esports teams to carry the Olympic flame when they take part in the 2018 Winter Olympics torch relay on Jan. 15.
The five KT Rolster players will hold the Olympic torch for around three minutes each from 13:04 to 13:19 local time. All five players will run through parts of Seoul in front of a huge crowd.
Esports are extremely popular in South Korea, and the inclusion of some professional players in this ceremony could be crucial for any future consideration toward esports becoming a part of the Olympics.
KT Rolster retained its entire roster for the 2018 season off the back of a disappointing Summer Split. The team failed to qualify for the World Championship for the second straight year, losing to Samsung Galaxy in the LCK Regional Finals.
But KT bounced back at the end of the year, beating Longzhu Gaming in the KeSPA Cup finals to win their first title as a team.
The 2018 Winter Olympics will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea from Feb. 9 to 25, bringing together the nations of the world to compete in winter sports such as hockey, snowboarding, and skiing.
This isn't the first time that esports have worked together with the Olympics, however. Intel partnered with the International Olympic Committee in November 2017 to hold an Intel Extreme Masters tournament in the lead-up to the 2018 Winter Olympics. IEM PyeongChang will feature StarCraft II gameplay and is set to take place from Feb. 5 to 7.
This article will be updated when more information becomes available about how to watch the 2018 Winter Olympics torch relay.

Q: How to get a slanted schwa sign in \textsuperscript size? There are in Tipa package two options: \schwa which makes slanted "schwa" of a peculiar size, and \textschwa which adjust to the text-size (for example when in \textsuperscript, it gets the right dimension), but unfortunately is not slanted. How to get a slanted schwa sign in superscript?
\documentclass[a4,pdftex,dev]{book}
\usepackage[noenc]{tipa}
\begin{document}
\textit{ahmiia zaoth etc}\textit{\textsuperscript{{\textschwa}}}
\end{document}

A: The font is respected if you use a better syntax:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tipa}
\newcommand{\upschwa}{\textsuperscript{\textschwa}}

\begin{document}
\textit{ahmiia zaoth etc\upschwa}

ahmiia zaoth etc\upschwa

\end{document}

Note though that the TIPA fonts don't have italics, but only slanted.
Loading tipa with noenc would give infinite recursion, so it's better to omit the option. Also a4 and dev are not options for the book class, you probably meant a4paper and draft; the option pdftex should never be specified.


In order to provide safe and reliable service, trees must not be allowed to come in contact with power lines. Jackson Energy inspects our rights-of-way throughout the entire service area to be certain all lines are clear of encroaching trees and are accessible for regular maintenance and emergency repair work. Jackson Energy inspectors and contractors are trained in the clearance requirements of specific lines. Through experience, they are knowledgeable in the growth patterns of various tree species. Potential hazards, such as a young tree that will grow into the power lines, are addressed before they become a problem.
Trees are one of the leading causes of electrical power outages. Pruning trees is a key part of providing safe and reliable electric service. A single limb that comes into contact with a power line can blink lights or cause an outage. A dangerous and sometimes deadly situation arises when trees grow too close to power lines. A child or someone in a tree that comes in contact with a power line could be seriously injured or even killed. Pruning methods Jackson Energy only hires professional tree trimming contractors trained in using 'directional' pruning techniques developed by the National Arborist Association. These techniques are published by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI) and are the accepted industry standard promoted by the National Arbor Day Foundation and the International Society of Arboriculture. These methods remove only the parts of the tree necessary and encourage growth away from the lines. Trees are pruned in a way that will leave them healthy even though it may sometimes change the natural appearance of the tree.
Unfortunately, diseases, poor soil support, or storms may damage a tree enough to warrant removal. When trees are a threat to fall across power lines a representative will contact you about removing the tree. If trees are removed in a maintained area, like a residential yard, crews will chip brush and leave large wood chunks, such as logs, for the homeowner. Clean up is usually complete in a maintained area within one or two days of the tree removal. With mechanized removal, clean up crews may be more than two days behind the removal crews. If the removal area is an unmaintained right-of-way area, for instance through the woods, the trees will be cut and left at the site.
Jackson Energy uses herbicides for improved efficiency and reliability. After the initial application, we only need to reenter the area every 5-7 years to selectively touch-up areas of dense or fast growing brush. Areas that were dense brush will be converted to grass and wildflowers. Once converted, these areas will require minimum work to keep a clear ground floor.
Yes. Jackson Energy only uses EPA approved products that have undergone years of testing. The herbicides are designed to work through enzymes found only in plants. They have the same active ingredients as herbicides you may be using yourself. All applicators are required to have a KY pesticide applicators license and must abide by the product label.
When severe weather strikes, Jackson Energy crews move swiftly to restore power. Trees are often the cause of downed power lines. If you see a downed power line, stay away from it and report the situation to Jackson Energy. We will do what is necessary to clear our facilities from downed trees. Since downed trees are an act of nature, the consumer will be responsible for the cleanup and removal of the tree(s) once Jackson Energy has removed any electrical hazard.
Jackson Energy 's Integrated Vegetation Management Program is designed to reduce outages and provide access to electric lines. At the same time, we want to be good stewards of the environment. That is why we use only environmentally friendly herbicides. Our rights-of-way provide excellent habitat for wildlife. In fact, organizations such as the National Wild Turkey Federation, Quail Unlimited, Butterfly Lovers International and Buckmasters have teamed up with our herbicide manufactures to provide improved wildlife habitat in the rights-of-way.
Jackson Energy has contracted with Townsend Tree Service, Phillips Tree Service, Asplundh Tree Expert Company, W.A. Kendall and Nelson Tree Service to perform mechanical line clearance in the co-op service area. You may contact us if you have any questions regarding our schedule or to find out when crews will be in your area. Professional Herbicide Applicators will perform herbicide spray service from May to September.
Landowners should also take into consideration which trees are best suited for planting near power lines.
Kentucky law requires public utility companies to provide adequate service to our customers. To meet this obligation we must maintain our lines and keep them free from obstructions. When possible Jackson Energy will contact the landowners and notify them of our intentions. If there is an immediate threat to safety or electrical service we may enter the property and take corrective actions immediately. Notification and tree aesthetics are important to Jackson Energy and landowners; however, public welfare is our first priority.


Print Page - What is the name of North America's summit: Denali or McKinley?
Title: What is the name of North America's summit: Denali or McKinley?
The original Athabascan name is Denali, but it was renamed to honour president McKinley who did not even climb ithe mountain.. The mountain is still officially named McKinley, but it is in Denali park.
Stick with the current name, or restore the old one?
What do you think and where are you from?
Looking forward to seeing your votes (http://7summits.com/poll2/poll1.php?poll_id=4) and comments here!
Title: Re:What is the name of North America's summit: Denali or McKinley?
the mountain is commonly called McKinley by non-climbers, however most climbers call it Denali. I say the real name is denali but we should not change it because calling it denali is kind of like a code for us climbers.
any name would be 'appropriate,' but that doesnt make it a good name.
but anyway, for this post, i would like to say that i think a good name would be "i want a refund mountain."

Latest leaders forum
Our forums with leaders from accounting, law and other professional service firms take place monthly and are hosted in partnership with Foulger Underwood.
Our latest call followed the late September announcements from the Prime Minister and Rishi Sunak that adapted the approach to lockdown and the government response to support. This, in addition to the conversations that everyone had been having with clients perhaps lead to the lower level of confidence in the economy , with 75% of leaders less confident in the economic outlook than a month before.
The key topics on leaders minds were:
Mental health, well-being and resilience of employees and partners
Supporting their people, practically and emotionally
Keeping going – the burden of leadership
Supporting your people
The announcement that further restrictions would come into place immediately and last for up to 6 months has come as a blow to many, especially those who have been planning their return to work in the office. A number of firms who had asked people to come back into the office faced a U turn that they needed to return to work from home for the foreseeable future.
This is disruptive not only to organising office accommodation, but psychologically it has a profound impact on expectation. Fear is natural. It is also manageable when you can take action to mitigate the risks involved. The challenge at the present time is the lack of certainty about how long arrangements like this may persist. With fear back on the agenda, firms are having to be clever and creative about ways to connect with their people and teams.
Some of the largest organisations such as Google are not expecting a return to the office until the middle of 2021, EY have announced no office working until at least January '21. One global law firm has said it will not hold any face to face staff conferences until 2022. For some this seems like a radical, perhaps unnecessary statement. However, what it achieves is a level of certainty for all involved. Whether or not you like it, people are able to adapt their lifestyle, with certainty, and plan for the next 6 to 9 months.
Many firms have mental health First Aiders and while the UK has been a little lacklustre in engaging with the idea, created over 20 years ago, it has gained traction in many professional services firms in the last five years and is now commonplace. Some firms will even engage with occupational health on a part-time basis.
If you would like advice on how you can do this or support for your teams please get in touch: hello@thegrogroup.com
At lockdown in March the leadership teams in all organisations of any size asked their leaders to pay particular attention to all of their team as they would only be meeting them virtually and it would be important to provide extra support to everybody involved in these "unprecedented times".
A number of leaders and people at all levels are missing the office and the "colour" and variety it bought, which is affecting job satisfaction and the enthusiasm to take the business forwards for some; for others leaders the changes have reignited the drive to change the way the business works.
A lot has been done to support employees since then and now that we enter the second phase of managing the outbreak, certainly in the UK, some firms are finding that more senior employees and partners are now finding it challenging to shoulder the responsibility of managing the well-being of so many people.
It is important that they have a voice and an opportunity to share some of the challenges, confidentially, that they have been discussing with their teams. Some firms have been meeting with their leaders, one-to-one, face-to-face to check how they are really doing and offer support.
Professional coaches (and counsellors) all have something called 'supervision', that is an essential part of every professional's mental well-being, in order that they can continue to function effectively. Supervision supports the coach, mentor, partner or leader and asks them to objectively analyse some of the toughest conversations they have had. It also challenges some levels of perceived responsibility so that any leader is clear that they can offer support, provide help and signpost people to external sources of information and help remember, ultimately the responsibility lies with the individual staff member who is struggling. One cannot and must not take responsibility away from them, otherwise we disempower them.
If you would like to discuss how to help support your leadership teams please do get in touch: hello@thegrogroup.com
Practical considerations
Most firms have found the transition to remote working straightforward and even BT have commented that they have been "surprised at the level of success that the nations broadband network has achieved" since Covid struck. However, as restrictions continue further checks and balances will be necessary to ensure staff continue to work safely from home: Adequate seating, health and safety checks, workplace risk assessments. Some firms are considering switching from loans for purchase of travel/season tickets, towards provision of a home office.
Here's a link to a recent research survey conducted by Saffery Champness in to the future of the office and consideration for firms and staff.
Our next call is on 23rd October at 13.00 – please email paul@thegrogroup.com to join.

The micro-lending revolution, which made it possible for community-based lending institutions to bundle together micro-donations of $25 into loans for entrepreneurs in emerging markets, is making its way to your local Starbucks. Starting November 1, if your local bank won't give your small business a loan, you might just be able to receive financing from hundreds of thousands of everyday coffee-drinking Americans who care about bringing jobs back to their community. At over 7,000 Starbucks coffee shops around the nation, patrons will be able to submit micro-donations as small as $5, which will then be re-packaged into larger loans for worthy local businesses.
The Create Jobs for USA micro-lending plan, which came to life through the vision of Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz as well as the support of the Opportunity Finance Network, is brilliant in its simplicity: groups of individuals, by combining their limited financial resources together at the grassroots level, can effect change on a scale that large financial institutions can not (or will not). The national reach of Starbucks, combined with the generosity of coffee drinkers willing to donate $5 or more at the same time that they're willing to drop approximately the same amount for a Pumpkin Spice Latte, means that this new micro-lending initiative can have a real impact. In fact, according to Starbucks, every $3,000 raised through customers will create 1 new job in America. Every $5 donation has a multiplier effect, making it possible for businesses to raise $35 in total financing. At a time when small businesses help to create 50% of all new jobs in America, this means that every $5 donation could have a very real impact on the ability for communities to revitalize through new jobs creation.
