Third molars, commonly referred to as wisdom teeth, are usually the last four of 32 teeth to erupt (surface) in the mouth, generally making their appearance between the ages of 17 to 25. They are located at the back of the mouth (top and bottom), near the entrance to the throat. The term "wisdom" stems from the idea that the molars surface at a time typically associated with increased maturity or "wisdom".
In most cases, inadequate space in the mouth does not allow the wisdom teeth to erupt properly and become fully functional. When this happens, the tooth can become impacted (stuck) in an undesirable or potentially harmful position. If left untreated, impacted wisdom teeth can contribute to infection, damage to other teeth, and possibly cysts or tumors.
There are several types, or degrees, of impaction based on the actual depth of the teeth within the jaw:
Soft Tissue Impaction: The upper portion of the tooth (the crown) has penetrated through the bone, but the gingiva (gum) is covering part or all of the tooth's crown and has not positioned properly around the tooth. Because it is difficult to keep the area clean, food can become trapped below the gum and cause an infection and/or tooth decay, resulting in pain and swelling.
Partial Bony Impaction: The tooth has partially erupted, but a portion of the crown remains submerged below the gum and surrounding jawbone. Again, because it is difficult to keep the area clean, infection will commonly occur.
Complete Bony Impaction: The tooth is completely encased by jawbone. This will require more complex removal techniques.
Reasons to remove wisdom teeth
While not all wisdom teeth require removal, wisdom teeth extractions are most often performed because of an active problem such as pain, swelling, decay or infection, or as a preventative measure to avoid serious problems in the future. If impaction of one or more wisdom teeth is present, and left untreated, a number of potentially harmful outcomes can occur, including:
Wisdom teeth examination
As with any dental procedure, your dentist will want to initially conduct a thorough examination of the wisdom and surrounding teeth. Panoramic or digital x-rays will be taken in order for your dentist to evaluate the position of the wisdom teeth and determine if a current problem exists, or the likelihood of any potential future problems. The x-rays can also expose additional risk factors, such as deterioration or decay of nearby teeth. Early evaluation and treatment (typically in the mid-teen years) is recommended in order to identify potential problems and to improve the results for patients requiring wisdom teeth extractions. Only after a thorough examination can your dentist provide you with the best options for your particular case.
What does the removal of wisdom teeth involve?
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure, generally performed under local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anesthesia by a specially trained dentist in an office surgery suite. The surgery does not require an overnight stay, and you will be released with post-operative instructions and medication (if necessary), to help manage any swelling or discomfort.
I just wanted to give a shout out and send a big thank you to all the staff who helped me out today. I haven't been to the dentist in a while and felt very welcomed by everyone. The clinic was super posh and elegant and the technology used is turn of the century COOL!!! The hygenist was extremely gentle and Dr. Ripplinger is extremely professional and pretty chill too. It's an awesome feeling when you're comfortable at the dentists office - of all places. I'm thrilled to have found an awesome dentist for my daughter and I -- we truly look forward to the years of service at this clinic!! As my duaghter and I always say after a good experience anywhere, "It's a repeat!!!" :)
Leslye V.
Dr. Ripplinger performed the perfect root canal (if there is such a thing); I have ultra sensitive teeh and have no tolerance for the water spray, compressed air, etc. blowing on my teeth. The Doc did everything perfect to numb the tooth and perform a painless root canal.

I recommend visiting - The Big Island (Hawaii)
The largest Hawaiian island is confusingly also called Hawaii, but helpfully the locals simply call it 'Big Island'. The dry, sunny west coast has stunning full service resorts and excellent beaches, but travel to the island's southeast and you're in another world - a land of rainforest and volcanoes. And don't forget the lush green valleys and hidden waterfalls of the east coast! Where else can you snorkel with manta rays one night, and stargaze from 13000ft the next? The other Hawaiian islands are all beautiful, distinct and fabulous destinations, but for me Big Island has it all.
I recommend staying at - Ocean Lodge
On the wide sandy expanses of Oregon's gorgeous Cannon Beach stands the monolith of Haystack Rock. This giant rocky sentinel appears to have been dropped from space and constantly draws the eye - so it's handy that you can see it from your balcony at Ocean Lodge. This charming beachside accommodation is a modern property with a vintage feel. Rooms are beautifully appointed and the cosy fire-lit communal areas are the perfect place to unwind with a coffee, and of course one of the deliciously naughty cookies, which are freshly baked each day for guests.
I'll never forget when…
I've always had a fascination with space and the night sky, so I jumped at the chance to go on a stargazing excursion in Hawaii. The summit of Mauna Kea on Big Island stands a little under 14000ft. Add in minimal air moisture and light pollution, and you've got the best stargazing spot in the world. The 14 giant observatories worth a combined $1bn are also a giveaway. After watching a gorgeous sunset from the summit, our small group descended to 9000ft to stargaze through a top of the range telescope. After spying various galaxies, constellations and even Mars, we ended by zooming in on the moon - the clarity and detail of each individual crater was breathtaking.

JERUSALEM: Israeli authorities on Wednesday approved building permits for 240 new homes in settlement neighborhoods in Jerusalem's eastern sector, Deputy Mayor Meir Turjeman told AFP.
A city planning committee approved 90 units in Gilo and another 150 in Ramat Shlomo, Turjeman said, the latest in a series of moves to enhance Jewish presence in the contested Israeli-annexed Palestinian sector of the city.
Turjeman noted the committee also approved 44 units for Palestinians in their neighborhood of Beit Hanina.
The Ramat Shlomo units are part of plans announced in 2010 to build 1,600 settler homes in Ramat Shlomo, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
The 2010 announcement came as then-US Vice President Joe Biden was visiting Israel, provoking fierce US opposition and souring relations with Washington for months.
Wednesday's approvals were granted weeks after the same committee voted on an expansion creating the largest Israeli settlement within a Palestinian neighborhood in the city.
Jerusalem's status is ultra-sensitive and central to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Earlier this month, the Israeli ministers were set to approve a bill absorbing major Israeli settlements currently in the occupied West Bank into Jerusalem by enlarging the city limits.
Its opponents argue that it is a step toward full unilateral annexation of the West Bank settlements affected — a move that would be sure to spark international outrage.
But opposition from US President Donald Trump's administration prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to remove the bill from the agenda, with an official saying "diplomatic preparation" was needed.
The White House has been seeking ways to restart long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, and a US official said the bill would "distract the principals from focusing on the advancement of peace negotiations."
Israeli NGO Ir Amim, which opposes settlement construction, said approving new settler homes distances the possibility of a two-state solution to the conflict.
"Jerusalem residents deserve to live in a safe and thriving city, which will only happen once there's a fair agreement that recognizes the Israeli and Palestinian ownership of the city," the organization's Aviv Tatarsky told AFP.
"Instead of advancing such an agreement, Israeli authorities continue with the same familiar unilateral moves that only distance it," he said.
Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the Six-Day War of 1967. It later annexed East Jerusalem in a move never recognized by the international community.
It sees the entire city as its indivisible capital, while the Palestinians want the eastern sector as the capital of their future state.

Using lemon juice for skin health is an ancient technique and one that still holds true to this day all around the world.
Is Lemon Juice Good for Your Skin?
Lemon juice is one of the best natural treatments for the skin, as it possesses powerful antibacterial and antioxidant components. The active ingredients in lemon juice include citric acid, ascorbic acid, limonene, monoterpenes, Linalool, flavonoids, copper, iron, phosphorous, potassium, and calcium, among others. The citric acid and vitamins have can have a wide range of positive effects on the skin when used in moderation. Lemon juice can be used by itself, as a topical remedy, but other people choose to mix lemon juice with other carrier oils or skin-protecting ingredients for even greater effects.
How to Use Lemon Juice for Skin?
Lemon juice can be used for the skin in many ways, including to reduce pimples, treat acne, reduce pigmentation problems, lighten freckles, prevent premature aging, and eliminate inflammation, among others.

Pimples and spots are often caused by blocked pores and are often exacerbated by bacteria. The exfoliating and antibacterial nature of this juice is excellent for eliminating bacteria and squeezing excess oil from the pores.
If you have dark spots or blemishes on your skin, you can use lemon juice for its skin-lightening properties. Many people also use this juice to reduce the appearance of scars and other discoloration on various parts of their body.
Although many people think that having freckles is endearing, applying lemon juice to these seasonal (or permanent) spots can make them less apparent on your face, helping them blend in with the normal pigmentation of your skin.
Premature Aging
The antioxidants and other vitamins in lemon juice are able to neutralize free radicals, eliminate toxins in the skin, and prevent signs of premature aging by cutting down oxidative stress. This can also boost skin elasticity to keep you looking younger for longer.
If you suffer from inflammatory conditions, from dandruff and psoriasis to eczema or rosacea, applying lemon juice can eliminate the itching and soothe irritation.
Lemon juice can get rid of excess oil, neutralize bacteria in the pores, reduce redness, and stimulate healing in acne-affected areas of the skin.
Side Effects of Using Lemon Juice on Skin
There are some side effects of using lemon juice for skin treatment, such as skin lightening, dry skin, and increased skin sensitivity to light.
Skin Lightening
While people with pigmentation issues may appreciate the skin-lightening properties of lemon juice, those with dark skin should avoid using lemon juice due to its skin-lightening effects.
Dry Skin
The astringent nature of lemon juice can prevent your skin from being too oily, but if used in excess, can cause dry skin patches, as well as irritation and itching.
Sunlight Sensitivity
Some anecdotal evidence and research have found that lemon juice is able to make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and make you more prone to sunburns.

Cultivating Young Readers
Without fundamental reading skills, completing even the most basic of daily life tasks can become a daunting and humiliating experience. Though illiteracy rates have plummeted over the last century — from 20% of the U.S. population in 1870 to less than 1% by the 1980s — poor reading and writing skills continue to plague educators and students, and these issues can serve as a major barrier on the road to academic and professional success.
Though âliteracy' was once classified as the ability to read and write, researchers now use the term âfunctional literacy' in reference to individuals who have achieved the level of education necessary to function in modern society. One way experts determine this level is by issuing standardized K-12 tests. However, the statistics are disheartening among low-income students. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), 49% of fourth graders who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals finished below "Basic" on the NAEP reading test. As these students get older, their prospects don't improve much — 40% of eighth graders eligible for free and reduced-price meals scored below "Basic" on their NAEP reading test.
In addition to poor test scores, research indicates that Americans are simply reading less. A study from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) found that less than one-third of 13-year-olds read daily, which represents more than a 14% decline in the last 20 years. Although Americans between the ages of 15 and 24 are spending almost two hours a day watching TV, they are spending just seven minutes reading.
This has become a tremendous problem for parents, educators, and society as a whole. The benefits of reading are clear, and there are plenty of ways to inspire young folks to pick up a book.
Benefits of Reading at a Young Age
People of all ages struggle to read. In recent years, researchers have studied the relationship between literacy skills and underlying neurological conditions. Specifically, scientists are focusing on how brain function and structure are associated with reading skills, as well as the interventions used to improve and reverse such patterns.
One 2008 study explored the effects of intensive remedial instruction on young people with poor sentence comprehension. According to the The New York Times, another study conducted at Canada's York University in 2011 found that the brain responds to depictions of smells, textures, movements, and social interactions in a book in the same way that the brain responds to those same experiences in real-life. The study also found that individuals who frequently read fiction seem to empathize with other people on a deeper level.
Recent research focuses on the way our minds respond to digital technologies, since people the world over are dropping the newspaper and instead turning to their cell phones and tablets to read. Ongoing studies are working out how to understand the brain's response to digital text, and the conclusions made by the experts continue to vary. A recent article in The New York Times considered several experts opinions on the relationship between e-Books and the human mind.
What we do know for certain is the clearly defined, universally acknowledged link between literacy skills and a successful education. Research tells us that this relationship is built as early as the third grade. A study from the Annie E. Casey Foundation found that a child's reading proficiency by age nine directly influences their success in high school, college, and the workforce. However, these statistics are also particularly grim for students from low-income backgrounds; 83% of all low-income students read below the proficiency level by the end of third grade.
Curricula for K-3 students are generally focused on establishing and learning how to read. However, a transition begins in fourth grade as most students are expected to read in order to learn other material in the classroom (such as math, history, and science). Children who are not proficient readers are therefore limited in their ability to succeed in school, notes Abel Ortiz, the Annie E. Casey Foundation's director of evidence-based practices.
Ways to Cultivate Appreciation for Reading
The good news is that experts have developed a wide range of theories and strategies aimed at helping young readers develop literacy skills. Here is a list of a few of the most well-developed concepts in the field:
Reading to children: This is one of the most basic (yet important) ways that an adult can bolster a child's reading abilities. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends daily reading to children beginning before six months of age. From 1993 to 2005, the percentage of three- to five year-olds who were read to frequently by a family member increased from 78% to 86%, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.
Language-rich home environments: Using big, adult words to interact with a child can actually help build and develop a vocabulary. A report from Strategies for Children found that children in low-income families are likely to have heard 20 million fewer words than children in high-income families by the age of three, and their working vocabulary is roughly half that of their more advantaged peers. Especially for children with one or more working guardians, programs like full-day kindergarten and quality early-learning classes or day-care are critical — research indicates young children should be exposed to language often and early.
Take kids to the library: Obtaining a library card and taking a child to the library on a weekly basis is an excellent way to develop positive and healthy reading habits in a child. Toddler and preschool story times are a great way to develop early literacy skills, as described in a 2008 report by Judy MacLean and Dr. Sheila Sherow. Librarians are trained to capture the attention and focus of young people with songs, puppets and pictures. Libraries also provide information about family literacy events, age-appropriate book lists, tips for at-home literacy, tutoring programs and summer reading programs for kids and adults.
Encourage exercise and healthy habits: The link between physical wellness and academic proficiency is critical. According to LIVESTRONG, a study conducted at the Medical College of Georgia found that overweight and sedentary students who took part in 15 weeks of regular exercise saw significant improvements in their test scores. One New York University professor dedicates an entire course to the study of the way students perform on a test following an hour of aerobic exercise and one hour of lecture — as opposed to students who only receive the latter; generally speaking, students who engage in both hours outperform the lecture-only group by a considerable margin.
According to the American Heart Association, only 4% of elementary schools, 8% of middle schools, and 2% of high schools provide daily physical education programs (or some sort of equivalent). As a result, the burden has continued to fall on parents to find ways to keep their kids active.
Ideas for Specific Activities
Engaging and playing with your child is a great way to cultivate a love for reading. Having fun can be a great way to disguise learning for a child — here is a list of a few activities to try.
Organize a book club, reading group, or literature circle for kids (and interested adults, as well). Children will often reach a new level of comprehension if they are able to interact with each other around a text. This can include discussing the themes and character or recreating a scene through play-acting.
Many schools sponsor read-a-thons where kids can wear their pajamas, eat snacks, and bring stuffed animals. Parents are often invited and kids can read a range of texts. This could be done at home or with a group of friends.
Take a field trip to a bookstore or a library — or even a real-life place from a story the child recently read. This is a way to bring stories to life and engage students on the ways reading, literature and books are all around us.
Establishing a scheduled daily reading time (without interruptions) is a great way to develop a healthy reading habit for the entire family. If you take a vacation, make sure to bring a slew of books. If your family is on a road trip, try listening to an audiobook in the car.
Look for fun literacy and reading games on the web. There are tons of options, such as the activities available through PBS Kids and Sesame Street. These games are great because kids can have fun without realizing the brain work they are engaging in.
Research indicates that literacy is fundamental to student success; the stronger a child's reading and writing skills, the likelier he or she is to succeed later in life. And thanks to a wealth of easily accessible resources and learning materials (courtesy of schools, libraries, and the Internet), teachers and parents can play a decisive role in turning kids into eager readers.

Vestige Verdant Bioactive Mask

As it is soon to be weekend it is right time to talk about pampering yourself. I usually take the time to do face masks, scrubs and hair treatments on Friday or Saturday evenings. This is the time to myself. While there are different masks I do I want to talk about the most special one. It is Vestige Verdant - an all organic bioactive anti aging mask that heals and soothes your skin.
First and foremost, this has been created in Estonia and looks quite luxurious to begin with. Quite big jar holds 200ml of face mask that looks something like mud, but really is based on organic peat. While it claims to be anti-aging it has so much more in it. The benefits list is very long and includes the properties of deep cleansing, moisturising, improving skin's texture, reviving blood circulation, healing allergic or overly sensitive skin, diminishing acne, relieving stress and restoring skin's natural pH balance.
How does it work? As I said it is based on organic natural peat that has one of Vestige Verdant's key ingredients, humic acid in it. This substance is originally so complex, that its molecular structure is impossible to replicate synthetically. So they have harnessed the power of nature with the purpose of making this miracle mask happen. Humic acid detoxifies and is also powerful enough to fight with cellulite. Deep cleansing and moisturising effect comes form a lot of minerals and bioactive ingredients that also give tour skin its natural pH balance. Fulvic acid in it, proven to be powerful electrolyte, will heal anything that may be troubling your skin. Soothing properties come from bioactive hymatomelanic acid that accelerates healing process, improves texture and is known to have the ability to fight with cancer cells.
Onto my true opinion! This mask doesn't have a scent to it and has a quite wet muddy texture. It should be applied whenever needed on a clean surface, but can be used daily if skin tolerates it. When applied it feels so soothing as it is moist and quite cold. Layer should be thick enough to cover the whole skin without your skin peeking through. Right after finished with an application, it is time to relax. Soon, great things will start to happen! After a while you will feel slight tingling or itching on your skin and almost feel how this mask pulls every single toxin and gunk out of your skin. When your skin isn't overly sensitive, you can leave it on up to 10 minutes, but when it is, 5 minutes should be fine. Like with every skincare item you should really listen your own skin and see what works best for you.
Not so good part is washing it off. It might get really dirty and your sink will be in need of a good clean afterwards. You also need to take some time to concentrate on your face and get everything off. I also use a cotton pad with a splash of toner on it to remove even slightest traces of mask afterwards. Once you get used to this mask you will master the whole process and washing it off part won't be so bad anymore. Key is to be as close to the skin as possible and really use your hands to clean your face. Even better if you can do this mask right before getting into shower and all your problems regarding dirty sink will be gone! This is what I do and I enjoy this little ritual so much.
After you have gotten everything off, you will be absolutely amazed! Yes, there are great mud masks and even better clay masks that deep cleanse your skin perfectly, but with this mask it is whole another story. I can't even describe it without sounding like a lunatic. It feels like your skin is finally breathing and so thankful you just can't keep your hands away from your face. Your pores look smaller, cleaner, skin comfortable in general and the more regularly you use this mask, the more you see the effect. Whatever the product is, you choose to apply afterwards: serum, moisturiser or both, they go on amazingly and work so much better with your clean skin.
Vestige Verdant ships worldwide and even though the price is little bit pricy it is nothing compared to the results I have with it. This jar is completely full of the mask and mine lasted about 5 months and I still have some of it left as you can see from the picture. In fear of running out of it, I already had to get the new one!

I'm having a problem rendering the map on my angular web page.
On the first init call it works fine - the map is shown. As soon as I navigate to another page (which also has a map), I get the above-mentioned error, and the map isn't displayed.
We were able to fix it by moving the mapkit.init to the main.ts file. That way, initialisation will only happen once and the map will work on different pages

The most people want to have a Pomsky which has Husky markings. Meanwhile, Pomsky comes in a variety of colours of coat. You can find it in gray, black, brown, white, tan, or even the mix of them such as black and white Pomsky and also they have different markings and they can be parti, solid or sable colored. If you like black colour and then you have seen that a black Pomsky can be a perfect pet for you, you can look for it and buy it in a breeder. Before you buy it, it is better for you to read some information about a black pomsky.
Black areas on a Pomsky come from cells which generate eumalanin. You have to note that black eumalanin can change into the other colors and those color include blue, brown or pale brown. In the genes of the dog cause the black eumalanin to change another color all of the black colouring will be turned. It can happen because the cells of the dog are not able to generate a full-strength pigment. You can consider it as a doluted version of a true black colouring. Browns and blue have black properties but are not pure forms of the original black pigment. Eumalanin also can be found in the other areas of a dog such as nose and irises. Dogs can own their noses black or any color and it will depend on what kind of eumalanin your canine can generate. Same as the coat, eyes and nose can have different restrictions levels of eumalanin and it will cause different shades of the colors mentioned. Pure black Pomsky is very rare, but black Pomskies with the other markings are fairly common.
Another variety of Pomsky color is brown. There is a variety of Pomsky in brown that is very cute. It is the blue-eyed brownie. If you are looking for a brown Pomsky, this variety can be your good choice. You also have to know that it is rare and high in demand. This Pomsky is high in demand because they have cute colour pattern and eye color. They have stark contrast in color between the blue eyes and the brown coat and these things make this dog becomes the most beautiful types of Pomsky. This puppy has deep blue eyes, brown colouring and markings and also semi-long double layered coat. The size ranges the entire spectrum from small to large. To find this kind of dog is very difficult because they are rare and very high in demand. However, if you have a plan to buy this variety of dog, you have to prepare for the money because the price will be very expensive since the breeder value these markings very highly.
Before you buy a Pomsky, you have to know that there are difficult aspects of having a pomsky including attention, exercise and grooming. Nevertheless, this dog is a very smart dog so that they can learn new tricks and obey commands quickly.

In early November, when many students are looking forward to Thanksgiving break, Africana Studies Ph.D. students Ezgi Cakmak, Brian Jackson, and Eziaku Nwokocha were making final preparations for their travel to Seville, Spain for the 9th Biennial Conference of the Association for the Study of the Worldwide African Diaspora (ASWAD). The conference took place from November 7-11, 2017.
"I decided to propose a paper presentation at ASWAD because it is the unique scholarly association focusing on the worldwide study of the African Diaspora," said Ezgi Cakmak, fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Africana Studies. Cakmak, who studies African slavery in the nineteenth-century Ottoman Empire and its racial legacy in the early Turkish Republic, commented, "I wanted to benefit from the opportunity to share my work on the African diaspora in the Middle East with the various scholars all around the world." Her paper, "Sound Like Turkish, Look Like Turkish: Reading Surname Law through the case of Afro-Turk Community," for the "State Violence, Subjectivity, and the Refugee Experience" session analyzed the impact of the Turkish Surname Law issued in 1934 on the African descent citizens of Turkey.
Brian Jackson, a second-year student in the program decided to attend the conference because he saw it as a "great opportunity to discuss questions of race, identity, and belonging in national or nationalistic contexts." His presentation, "Moor Spanish than the Paella: Black Citizenship in a Country where Citizens 'Can't' Be Black," for the "Contesting Concepts of Citizenship Through Migration, Commemoration and Religion" panel looked at national and social constructs of 'the citizen' in Spain.
"Personally, this conference helped me to academically brainstorm various ways of thinking of concepts of belonging, identity and citizenship (both social and civic) in relation to my current work in the Indian Ocean," said Jackson. "A most memorable moment for me was being able to experience the academic conference with other Africana colleagues. I've been to academic conferences before, but being there with other Penn Africana students and interacting with scholars from around the country and world, was a very rewarding experience. I felt part of a community in a sense."
Eziaku Nwokocha, a fifth-year student in the program, studies ethnographic research on gender sexuality, fashion, and material culture in Haitian Vodou, focusing on women in Jamaica, Haiti, and the Diasporic communities in Montreal and Boston. Nwokocha presented a paper titled "Adorning the Spirit: Clothing, Sexuality and Spiritual Exchange in Haitian Vodou," for the "Cloth, Religion and Sartorial Power in Cultural Encounters" panel.
In addition to the students, Deborah Thomas, R. Jean Brownlee Term Professor of Anthropology, was a discussant on the "From the Dissertation to the Monograph: Publishing Your First Book" round table. She also provided a "sneak peak" of Four Days in May, her experimental documentary (co-directed and co-produced with Junior "Gabu" Wedderburn and Deanne M. Bell). The documentary explores the effects of the "Tivoli Incursion" in May 2010, when Jamaican security forces entered West Kingston to arrest Christopher Cook, wanted for extradition to the United States, and killed at least 75 civilians.
Anthea Butler, Professor of Religious Studies and Africana Studies, also attended the conference. "It was great to meet scholars from other countries and to learn more about the African diaspora in Spain. One of the reasons I attended the conference is because one of my students, Eziaku Nwokocha was giving a paper. The other reason I went is because I'm teaching a class that is cross-listed with Africana Studies next semester called Muslims, Christians & Jews: History & Memory in Spain. "I'll be taking the class to Spain at the end of the spring term, so this trip was preparation for our trip."
The significance of hosting a conference on the African diaspora in Seville did not escape the students. While there, Nwokocha went on a one-day excursion to the slave castles (prisons) in Niebla. "I was with my faculty mentor, Dr. Anthea Butler. We had wonderful conversations about the historical, contemporary, and religious presence of people of African descent in Spain."
"The city of Seville, with its important role in the history of the slave trade between Europe, America, and Africa, definitely enriched the agenda of the conference," said Cakmak.

Sorry for a new thread on this, specific to the second pres debate, who do you think convinced more voters?
Senator John Kerry
President George Bush
Sorry for a new thread on this, specific to the second pres debate, who do you think convinced more voters?
I'm still waiting for it to end...right now I think they are both jackass windbags blowing the smoke America wants.
Arrrgh, right now I'm ........ed off that they are both rehashing the same arguments as the last debate. Bush nearly repeated some of his on the defensive "wrong war wrong time" and "its hard work" lines verbatim.
And I'm sick of Kerry thinking that the rest of the world will suddenly help us in Iraq when hes leader. Thats a load of crap and everyone should know it. No one wants to get involved and Kerry can't kiss their asses hard enough to get them to change their minds.
Listening to that for an hour and a half or whatever made me have a drink or two, or three, i lost count.
And who writes the questions for the audience??? They are so nicely worded and so poorly read. Did the audience even have any input to what they were forced to read???
They both did a pretty good job convincing me that this country is rather screwed.
The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.
You know, Kerry keeps saying that the obscene malpractice lawsuits and payouts are only responsible for 1% of rising health care costs. Thats such a lie to try and make bush look responsible. Its a huge reason whay doctors of all practices have been raising their rates. I've read about some states like PA and CO that have doctors leaving because it just costs too much to get malpractice insurance.
And for the record, I don't think either candidate can get any kind of tort reform passed. Kerrys and Edwards record of backing any sort of tort reform are terrible, and they expect me to believe that if I vote for them suddenly they are going to change their minds? HA!
Amen to that. I'm glad to know that Bush "worries about this country". Perhaps if he hadn't screwed up so much in Iraq, he wouldn't need to be so worried.Originally Posted by Zach L.
I didn't have a chance to watch it all, what I did watch causes me to think that we should find two new people to run. Kerry seemed to spend most of time saying that bush was wrong and that he has a plan but he never answered the questions. Bush seemed to spend way too much time saying he was right, kerry was a waffler, and never answered the questions.
You actually expected a politician to answer a question? They don't ever answer any questions. Any politician. Watch some of those evening or morning shows where they try to grill any politician. They NEVER answer anything. It's just stupid to watch.Originally Posted by Thantos

About Barcelona
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, is one of the world's most vibrant and diverse cities. Its coastal location and cultural heritage make it a unique meeting place: history meets high technology, Gaudí meets gastronomy and the city meets the sea.
During the day, shoppers can drift between the luxury retail stores along Passeig de Gràcia and the small boutiques dotted around the Gothic Quarter. For culture connoisseurs, Barcelona boasts a rich history and an internationally recognised architectural tradition. The city has no fewer than nine UNESCO world heritage sites, including Gaudí's breathtaking unfinished cathedral Sagrada Família and the iconic Hospital Sant Pau.
Barcelona is also home to one of the world's greatest football teams, FC Barcelona, and one of the sport's most incredible stadiums, Camp Nou. Nearby is Circuit de Catalunya, which hosts the Barcelona Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The vibrant Catalonian lifestyle means that locals and visitors alike can enjoy a vast range of entertainment options available both day and night. Food lovers can choose from traditional Spanish tapas in local neighbourhoods to modern fusion in some of the city's Michelin-starred restaurants, of which there are over 20. Barcelona is also recognised as an international nightlife hotspot-there are countless different bars and nightclubs around to keep even the wildest partygoers entertained.
There is also the opportunity to explore outside Barcelona's city limits. Spending time on one of Barceloneta's beaches and visiting one of its bustling beach bars, it's easy to see why National Geographic voted Barcelona the world's best beach city. Or, if you prefer your coastlines a little more quiet and relaxed, the secluded coves and dramatic cliffs of the Costa Brava, beginning just 60km north of the city, offer the perfect sanctuary for a day's rest and relaxation.
While beachgoers enjoy Catalonia's annual 320 days of sunshine, winter sports enthusiasts can travel to the nearby Spanish Pyrenees. The exclusive ski resort of Baqueira-Beret offers 110km of marked pistes and great snow throughout winter. The resort's credentials have even gained it a famous following, with the royal family of Spain, as well as celebrities and their families returning year after year.
However, it is not just skiers that benefit from a trip out of the city. Real Club de Golf El Prat, Catalonia's top golf destination is just 30 minutes from Barcelona and its 45 holes designed by Greg Norman will keep even the most experienced golfer busy for hours.
For a more relaxing trip, the quaint historic towns nestled in the Catalonian countryside are a joy to discover and explore. So too are the vineyards of the Penedès region, where you can get an insight into traditional winemaking methods and, of course, sample the local wine and cava.

Central Coast Cross Country: Fun Run & Presentation
Saturday, 31 August 2019
Pioneer Dairy Wetlands, South Tacoma, NSW
The Central Coast Cross Country is a cross country series that runs through the autumn & winter months each year. The final week each year on Saturday, 31 August 2019 has presentations, a fun run and BBQ.
Each Saturday CCXC run is organised along three different loop tracks in two waves. The first wave is the shortest track (typically 2 km). The second wave is a combined start of the medium (4 km) and long track (6 km) and starts shortly after the first wave has finished. This provides the opportunity to either do a warm-up run before starting the medium/long or to run up with family members that run the short track. Each track is clearly marked and where needed volunteers are posting along the track to give directions.

Merbau timber from Indonesia stored at the Yuzhou Wood Market on the banks of the River Pearl, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.
The developed industrial economies of North America, Europe,
Japan and South Korea are timber gluttons and consume more timber
than the planet can sustainably provide. That's the bad news. The
worse news is that the timber over consumption habit is beginning
to rub off on the emerging mega-economy of China.
A report recently released by Greenpeace called '
Sharing the Blame' shows that in the past 10 years, timber
imports into China have increased by an enormous 4.5 fold to the
double Mt. Everest sized pile mentioned above. This huge volume of
extra timber isn't all being consumed in China however, with
exports of timber products from China increasing by 3.5 fold in the
same time period.
Whilst demand for timber products has risen sharply in China,
the demand in the world's big industrial economies has remained at
an all time high. China has become the clearinghouse for the
world's timber with every second tropical tree traded in the world
being sent to China. Unfortunately, much of the merchandise is
stolen goods.
The forest is felled in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, where
between 76 to 90 percent of the logging is illegal, and shipped to
China to be processed into plywood, furniture or paper and exported
to the forest hungry economies of North America, Europe, Japan and
South Korea.
Sharing the Blame' isn't only about the frightening statistics
of the global timber trade; it follows the illegally logged timber
from the forest to the finished product in the shops and names the
companies behind the illicit trade.
After being contacted by Greenpeace and presented with the
evidence, some international timber buyers have already started to
address the issue of purchasing timber products made from illegal
logging. Numerous companies in Europe have made commitments to stop
purchasing Chinese plywood made from illegally logged timber from
Papua New Guinea.
The Chinese government has also started to publicly acknowledge
that consumption issues must be tackled in China. In recognition of
this problem, in late March of this year, the government imposed a
5 percent consumption tax on disposable chopsticks and hardwood
flooring to try to stem the tide of forest destruction.
The responsibility for ending the over-exploitation of the
world's last forests is shared equally between the producer and the
consumer countries. The developed industrial economies of North
America, Europe, Japan and South Korea need to dramatically reduce
their consumption of timber products and China needs to find a way
to develop its economy without simply following the poor example of
the timber gluttons.
After all the numbers are added up and put into neat rows and
columns of figures, it is easy to forget that what isn't shown in
the statistics are lives; people's lives and the lives of the
plants and animals of the forests. And if you put everything back
together, all the pieces combine to equal a couple of Mt. Everests
of ancient forest disappearing before our eyes.
Help us stop the trade in illegal timber.
