How and what to revise for gcse english literature?
Showing 1 to 6 of 6
I am doing the texts 'of mice and men' and 'a view from the bridge', but i have no idea how or what to revise.
we wont have the book/play in the exam so do you need to know about what happens in each chapter?
what else is important to know?
Wow. That sucks that you won't have the play with you.
Um, I would pick out important events from each chapter as well as memorize a couple of quotes. Plus know any of the external things you've been learning (like Form and Structure, Language, Origin, etc.) really well in case one of the question asks it.
Hope this helps!
P/S: what is your exam board?
You can get a great revision guide off amazon for 'of mice and men'. Amazon is extremely cheap for revision guides. So I have brought the book of mice and men also the revision guide. Also making notes throughout the book is really helpful. Knowing the key themes is what I have been revising and a few quotes for each theme for the exam.
Making a colourful mind map on each character, also putting some quotes beside them. Just keep reading the book! Helps you notice things you havent before. Hope this helps, as this is what I am currently doing. I am not sure on the other book because I am doing Bloodbrothers as well.
All the best for your exam and good luck! Rhiannon x
Modified twice, last modified by Rhiannon Britten on Thu 21st April, 2011 @ 11:28
Thank you, thats was so helpful! Yeah, i think concentrating on the main themes is important and the final tragedy :)
Thanks and the same to you! x
Your welcome! I am just learning a few quotes as well to use in the exam! But the themes are extremely important especially knowing the characters!
All the best again and thank you! Rhiannon x

Diabetes gets a makeover with drones
Companies are utilizing drones, individuals, and governments alike with wide-ranging applications. But it is the first time that one has been repurposed for healthcare and in this case, to help diabetes patients. Drones are used by various industries, with its current use ranging from remote monitoring, security, customized delivery solutions, commercial aerial surveillance, shipping, disaster management, and more. With drones, companies and organizations have started to increase their marketing and advertising outreach as well. Given the popularity, it is not that unexpected to see drones being used for healthcare.
The fact remains that some people reside in areas with little or no modern infrastructure or any medical supplies either. And to ensure that the local populace has access to the essentials, including medical supplies, emergency treatment, drugs, etc., drones are being increasingly used in the field of healthcare. Drones enable both aid organizations and medical hospitals to reach out to those who live in remote areas. And thanks to these drones, they can provide the local population with required medical assistance, medical supplies, and emergency medical aid. Moreover, the area in question may not be geographically accessible due to earthquakes or some other natural disasters. According to Derek O'Keefe, drones enable them to reach out to isolated pockets of humanity. They can then provide the locals with all the help they need.
Spyridoula Maraka is of the firm opinion that the field of healthcare will use drones increasingly since they can help the organization save on human resources and other essentials, which can be better utilized. Moreover, with drones, they can reach out to those located in remote locations with ease. These drones can help deliver life-saving medical supplies, including insulin, blood, etc. It is not that farfetched to imagine that these drones will even play an active role in both the diagnosis and treatment of patients in the future.

Whether you are swapping on a new chainring or just replacing stripped or lost bolts, JensonUSA.com has a wide variety of chainring bolts and accessories to help you get the job done — and done correctly.

You will also need to know whether your desired bolts thread directly into the spider or if additional nuts are needed. You can also add a little flare to your bike, as brands such as Wolf Tooth and KCNC offer chainring bolts in a wide variety of colors.
JensonUSA also carries sometimes critical accessories such Race Face Chainring Tab Shims that can help you convert a triple chainring set-up into a 2x10, and Wheels MFG Alloy Chainring Spacers, which assure that your chainring is both properly secured on your bike and that optimal chainline is achieved.

Compilation of some on-board footage from the my OpenPilot CC Tricopter. This thing is super stable. I have complete confidence when flying with OpenPilot. Can't believe how simple the setup was. I am using 3-bladed props this time. They are much quieter, but produce less thrust. I had to adjust my trottle curve a bit to get better response. All FPV gear is from ReadyMadeRC.

Emergency savings feature can help plan sponsors increase employees' financial wellness, Prudential says
NEWARK, N.J., July 24, 2018 - Most Americans don't have enough savings to cover unexpected expenses, tempting many to make the costly mistake of raiding their workplace retirement savings plans. Using after-tax contributions to an existing retirement plan to build savings that can be accessed to cover emergencies could help, according to Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU).
Three tax savings strategies for a secure retirement to try right now
Individuals who rushed to prepay property taxes after the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act may have saved some money in 2018—but that's pennies compared to the long-term tax savings taxpayers should take advantage of before the TCJA's individual tax provisions are expected to expire in 2026.
Millennials' vision of the future looks beyond flying cars
Fifty years ago, Philip K. Dick's landmark sci-fi novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" envisioned a 21st century of androids, flying cars and space colonies. What happened? Sure, we have Android phones, but what about our flying cars?
Under new tax law, finance leaders show appetite for pension de-risking
The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is driving senior finance executives to reduce the liability risks associated with their corporate defined benefit (DB) pension plans. That revelation was one of the important findings of a new study conducted by CFO Research in collaboration with Prudential Financial, focusing on how the new tax law is influencing a range of pension fund-related decisions.
Annuities on the upswing as more Americans shift to a post-retirement income mindset
Americans are not just living longer, they're living younger, active lives. That's a good thing.
But it also presents a problem. Americans are facing a silent, growing crisis. Retirement is no longer an end-stage; it's a transition point. And as Americans live longer, active lives, they could have a greater chance of running out of retirement savings.
Stable value funds a new trend in college savings
For years, many 529 plans offered money market funds as their conservative investment option. Now, they're increasingly replacing them with stable value funds, investment vehicles wrapped in insurance contracts that guarantee a specific minimum return. A new white paper from Prudential Financial, Inc., "529 Plans: Assessing the Stable Value Option", examines why.
Prudential Retirement builds skill for Amazon Alexa
With Amazon Alexa, you can play your favorite song, get the news and weather, even control your living room lights, all with just the sound of your voice—now, by enabling a new skill, you can manage your financial future as well. Just say, "Alexa, ask Prudential Retirement for my account balance."
Prudential offers Guaranteed Income For Tomorrow (GIFT)SM
NEWARK, N.J., April 2, 2018 – Increasing longevity has made outliving assets in retirement a concern for many Americans, with 67 percent of U.S. workers saying they fear their retirement savings won't last, according to a 2016 Prudential report. To help Americans supplement their retirement savings, Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU) has introduced its first online income product, a voluntary deferred income annuity designed to generate guaranteed lifetime income.
American workers' financial security a job for employers, survey says
More than family, higher education or even government, American workers expect their employers to help them achieve financial security, a new Prudential survey reveals.
Prudential: Financial wellness during 'America Saves Week' and year-round benefits employers and employees
NEWARK, N.J., February 26, 2018 - In recognition of America Saves Week and Military Saves Week (Feb. 26 through March 3), Prudential Financial, Inc. ( NYSE:PRU ) is calling on employers to adopt a benefits program with financial wellness at its core to help improve financial security for American workers.

Shed ambitionI showed the below to a friend who was most
Amused, and suggested to me that I post
It somewhere where others might find it quite fun,
So I registered here - here's my post number one.
It's not a great work of poetic expression,
It's just about sheds, a Great British obsession . . .
"When I grow up," the sapling said,
"I want to be a garden shed",
"A garden shed?", replied a bird,
Who flying by, had overheard,
"To want to be a shed is fine,
If you are a spruce or pine,
But you'll become a mighty oak,
That's not a tree that any bloke
Will waste upon a garden shed.
To be a dining suite instead
Should be your quest and wish and dream,
For of the woods, you are the cream."
"A dining suite? Is that my fate?
A table, six chairs, maybe eight?
I get that humans have to eat,
And, when they do, upon a seat,
And need somewhere to place their food,
(For sure, the floor is rather crude),
But honestly, I really feel
That this job could be done by deal,
Or any other type of wood.
As tables they'd be just as good,
A dining suite is what I dread,
I want to be a garden shed."
"A shed's a noble thing to be,
A noble goal for any tree,
To be cut down and then removed
And planked and planed and tongue-and-grooved,
Then reassembled piece by piece
Into a stately edifice,
More majestic than the Shard,
And proud to grace a man's back yard."
The sapling then, (let's call him Peter),
Chose to change the poem's metre.
Now the lines get somewhat longer,
And the rhythm somewhat stronger . . .
"And once installed, oh the things I could house,
I could house those important things real men espouse,
Like mowers and rakes and reels of hose,
And shovels and spades and forks and hoes,"
(That was a pretty bad rhyme, I agree,
But I'm doing my best, as I hope you can see)
"Bicycles, barrows, and riddles and pots,
And compost in bags, and string tied in knots,
And saws and chisels and hammers and nails,
And brushes and paints and buckets and pails,
Wrenches and spanners and nuts and bolts,
And gadgets to measure amps, watts and volts,
Several screwdrivers and all sorts of screws,
Chemicals, solvents, and specialist glues,
A strimmer, a trimmer for trimming the hedge,
And ready for winter, an old wooden sledge,
And drills and bits and bits and bobs,
And odds and sods and old brass knobs,
Swingballs and barbies and charcoal in lumps,
And racquets and bats and balls and stumps,

Steam buffs will use me for their model trains,
Aeromodellers will use me when modelling planes,
Writers will write in me, poets will rhyme,
Woodworkers would work wood much of the time,
A refuge I'll be, and a place to escape
For a quick can of lager, a fag or a vape,
These noble pursuits all require a fine shed,
Of dining suites sheds are no doubt streets ahead."
The little bird smiled but sighed inside,
She'd heard this before from other bright eyed
Little saplings whose dreams were destined to fail
Like every attempt to find the Grail,
She smiled, but her smile was tinged with tears,
The tree would dream gaily for hundreds of years,
But she knew all too well what the outcome will be,
(As did a bright eavesdropping bumblebee),
She knew that the oakling would go to create
A dining suite: table, six chairs, maybe eight.

Caries have D. Caries Introduction Caries have been a constant nuisance to humans, decaying teeth can become a major problem for those affected. It is certainly not the oldest pathology, nor the one of the greatest prevalence throughout humankind, but the information that can be extrapolate from such pathologies is great. The aim of this paper is to outline the pathology of caries and the influence that these have had on the human populations affected. Caries or caries dentist is the common name for tooth decay. It is a local disease, which is characterized by an irreversible and permanent destruction of the tooth hard tissue, enamel.
Thus spreads the destruction to the rest of the tooth and, and possibly leading to tooth loss and possibly infections in other areas, more specifically through the maxillary or mandibular areas. Also I have included some other defects that are import and not only to the observation of caries but overall pathologies and their implications for the individuals affected. In this paper I will attempt to outline the causes of this disease and some of the numerous factors that cause it, as many have a hand in the process. Also I will show how these changes were brought about and how these affected the individuals with caries. Systemic Disturbance To begin I will introduce the reader he to other defects that affect the same area and should be considered when any analysis of the area is to be understood.
Any disturbance, such as severe infection can disrupt enamel formation. That disruption of enamel formation will leave an enduring record as a disorientation of enamel prisms. Because the human dental growth sequence is known, the age at which the enamel disturbance occurred can be determined from the location of the disturbance within the enamel. A standard chart for dental development can be consulted for this purpose. There is extensive literature (now in excess of 500 articles) on the epidemiology and etiology of enamel defects. Many of which have been investigations using laboratory animals There are two types of enamel developmental disturbance of interest to the paleo pathologist (1) Micro defects are histological structures known as Wilson bands.
These are accentuated brown striae of Retzius. The most celebrated of these is the neon tal line, reported by Scour in 1936 If the disturbance is short in duration and the enamel formation resumes, that disturbance is recorded as a narrow band seen in the section of enamel under a light microscope. That evidence of enamel formation disruption and recovery is called a Wilson band. Wilson bands are thin layers of abnormally structured enamel marking the position of the active ameoloblasts at the time of insult. Wilson bands are sometimes called pathological brown striae in the literature. This descriptive term is a nice way to describe the bands, which contain sudden changes in prism direction associated with atypical rod forms.
Wide neonatal lines are associated with traumatic births. Wilson bands appear to represent brief periods of stress lasting from one to five days. The examination of teeth for histological disturbance is destructive; therefore, this technique is not used of rare ancient hominid teeth. 2) Macro defects are defects visible on the tooth surface. They are known as hypoplasias. These can vary in appearance from small pits or furrows to large, deep grooves or even large areas of missing enamel. Typically these defects are horizontal grooves that are called chronological or linear (enamel hypoplasias.
They seem to reflect impairment of enamel formation for weeks or months, while Wilson lines record events limited to one or a few days. If the enamel formation does not resume, the defect can be viewed macroscopically as a transverse area of depressed enamel, this is known as enamel hypoplasia, Enamel hypoplasias show a predilection for anterior teeth and for the cervical and middle thirds of tooth crowns. Investigators have shown statistical associations between enamel hypoplasias and a variety of clinical conditions of which we will only mention a few here: premature birth, malnutrition, fluorosis, high fever, localized trauma and systemic metabolic distress such as gastrointestinal disorders. Dental plaque Dental plaque is a mixed microbial biofilm growing on teeth and is the prime a etiological agent of the two main oral diseases, dental caries and periodontal disease.
The microbial composition of plaque varies between individuals and the location on the tooth and generally reflects the complex nature of the ecology of the mouth. In common with other biofilms, the microbial composition of dental plaque is capable of change in response to changes in the environment, notably the diet. These responses are modulated by homeostatic mechanisms inherent in the plaque in ways, which are as yet poorly understood. The major sites of plaque accumulation are in the fissures of molar teeth, in the area bounded by margin of the gum and the tooth and between adjacent the teeth. In addition, plaque can cause gingival inflammation, which may result in loss of epithelial attachment to the tooth leading to the formation of sub-gingival pockets (Fraser 1989).
These pockets may also harbor dental plaque which is significantly different from supra-gingival plaque in a number of important respects in particular a much lower redox potential which selects for a variety of anaerobic bacterial species. Although dental plaque varies considerably in composition, it has been possible to piece together a sequence of events, which lead to its establishment. The consensus view of plaque development begins with a clean tooth surface covered by a conditioning film of salivary proteins and glycoproteins, called the tooth pellicle, being colonized by so-called pioneer species (Larson 1995). These multiply forming first a monolayer and, subsequently, palisades of cells perpendicular to the tooth surface. During and after this outgrowth period secondary colonization by a variety of Gram positive and negative species occurs leading to a large increase in the species diversity. Foremost among the events contributing to this secondary colonization is the process known as co-aggregation whereby colonizing microbes attach to cells already part of the developing biofilm (Moore and Collect, 1983: 140).
This allows species which can not attach, or can attach only poorly, to the tooth pellicle to participate in the biofilm. At 24 hours the maturing dental plaque contains a wide variety of bacteria and it is possible to detect easily identifiable inter-species associations such as the well documented corn-cob-configurations (Fraser, 1989), although a wide variety of other inter-species associations will be present. Further colonization and growth of established bacteria takes place as the plaque matures to form a stable, climax community. This pattern of development leading to a climax community has been termed bacterial succession. The resulting community consists of individual microbes and micro colonies acting in complex consortia, which can convey a range of beneficial properties. These include feeding synergies, improved antibiotic resistance and a host of cooperative mechanisms, which are the subject of much current research.
The Carious process As mentioned before dental plaque is a deposit on the teeth consisting of food debris together with various components derived from the saliva. Within this plaque dwell bacteria, when these bacteria metabolize carbohydrates they produce acid waste products. It is the dissolution of the dental hard tissues by these acids that cause carries. Dietary sucrose changes both the thickness and the chemical nature of plaque. Mutans streptococci and some other plaque bacteria use the monosaccharide components (glucose and fructose) and the energy of the disaccharide bond of sucrose to assemble extracellular polysaccharides. These increase the thickness of plaque substantially, and also change the chemical nature of its extracellular space from liquid to gel.
The gel limits movement of some ions. Thick gel-plaque allows the development of an acid environment against the tooth surface, protected from salivary buffering. Plaque, which has not had contact with sucrose, is both thinner and better buffered. A diet with a high proportion of sucrose therefore increases caries risk. Thicker plaque occurs in pits and fissures, just beneath the contact area and, in patients with poor oral hygiene, near the gingival margin.
The initial area of lesion in caries consists of first, a softened, which then progresses into a small hole or caries in the enamel surface. As this process continues there is a widening of this deterioration and a caries is formed. When this reaches the death enamel surface the destruction tends to spread latterly due to a typical increase in organic material within the affected area, which is to be expected as living individuals would undoubtedly continue to consume food and thus continue to produce saliva. This process will eventually undermine the enamel crown leaving a fragile hollow cavity which can collapse due to the stresses that are present, weather they be from eating, use as a tool or any other type of trauma that would place stress upon the subject teeth (Shafer 1983: 432) In this way caries may lead to a complete destruction of an enamel crown.
Due to this destruction infection of the pulp may occur, either through direct exposure to the oral environment or via opened exposed dentinal tubules (Hilton 1986: 316) This infection in the pulp cavity may lead to the formation of a dental abbess at the tooth socket by way of the root canal. Thus the presence of a dental abbess on skeletal remains and the interpretation for those situations where the tooth may not be present in the burial environment there can still be some extrapolation of carious evidence. Also it is important to mention that untreated caries ca give rise to potentially lethal complications (Mays 1998: 148) Advanced caries of a maxillary tooth can lead to and cause complications, including infections that can spread to vital organs, and possibly lead to death. Each time that plaque bacteria come into contact with food or drink containing simple sugars (monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose, and disaccharides such as sucrose, lactose and maltose) they use them for their metabolic needs, making organic acids as a metabolic by-product.
If these acids are not buffered by saliva they dissolve the surface of the apatite crystals of adjacent tooth structure. This is called demineralization. In thick gel-plaque the pH falls within seconds of contact with dietary sugars, and it can stay low for up to 2 hours. When the pH is neutral the same crystals can re-grow, using calcium, phosphate and fluoride from saliva. This is called re mineralization. Caries begins and progresses when demineralization outweighs re mineralization.
Caries therefore depends on the balance between demineralization and re mineralization, i. e. on the frequency of eating (and on the microbial composition of the plaque and its chemical nature and thickness, on the local fluoride concentration and on the buffering capacity of saliva). A frequent pattern of eating therefore increases caries risk.
Diet and Environment. The breakdown of enamel by the bacterial processes mentioned earlier is most commonly associated with that of carbohydrate food residue present within the mouth. Foods such as fats oils and meats including fish, are non- cryogenic (Shaw: 1954) and the protean residues responsible for caries (Becks et al. 1944; Driven and Spies 1948) are in some cases inhibited by a diet made up mainly of these foods. Whereas a diet consisting mainly of carbohydrates will significantly increase the incidence of dental caries. (Pederson: 1947) The most cryogenic carbohydrates are those of a low molecular weight such as sugars, these are very readily metabolized by bacteria to produce acid by-products. Thus there would be a correlation between sweet sugary foods and the incidence of dental caries, this has been shown in the archaeological record. One of the most profound changes to occur with the foraging to farming transition was the widespread decline in oral health, which was almost certainly tied to increased consumption of plant carbohydrates.
Especially obvious is the remarkable increase in dental caries wherever and whenever the transition occurred. Dental caries is a disease process characterized by focal demineralization of dental hard tissues by organic acids produced by bacterial fermentation of dietary carbohydrates, especially sugars (Larsen, 1997). Dental caries are manifested as pits (or cavities) in teeth, ranging in size from barely discernible discoloration of enamel to large cavitation's or substantial loss of crown matter (Figure 1). Comparisons of foragers and farmers globally reveal a consistent pattern of increase in frequency of carious lesions (Larsen, 1995). Eastern North America offers an important perspective on the impact of increased carbohydrate consumption on humans, especially because so many dental samples have been studied in this region.
Figure 2 shows the comparison of prehistoric populations lacking maize (Archaic, Early Woodland), some use of maize (Middle Woodland), and dependence on maize (Late Woodland, Mississippian, Contact) for the region. The contrast between foragers and farmers is striking. One of the important indicators of periodontal disease in skeletal remains is ante mortem tooth loss (Figure 3). Periodontal disease results in a weakening of the alveolar bone supporting the dental structures, and as the bone reports, teeth loosen and are exfoliated. Although the evidence is not as overwhelming as dental caries, there is a pattern of increase in ante mortem loss that corresponds with carcinogenesis in agricultural populations from diverse settings, such as Nubia, eastern North America, western Europe, and south Asia (reviewed in Larsen, 1995). Another example, in Britain there were only small amounts or sugar cane available until large scale imports from the New World became available.
But by the seventeenth century the imports from the colonies were in full swing and sugar was being imported at a fantastic rate. These imports coincided with a greater occurrence of caries where by the early years of the twentieth century, caries in England had increased three fold in since the Iron Age In Britain (Mays: 1998; 151) Also starches are a major dietary carbohydrate, which if left in a environment such as the mouth can breakdown and start to deteriorate the enamel, but still not quite as much as the high incidence as with that of high levels of a sucrose diet. Fraser (1989) using archaeological evidence from the early upper Paleolithic to the late Mesolithic associated an increase in caries associated with a changing environment and thus a changing subsistence for those inhabitants. He proved that sites dating to the early upper Paleolithic had a suprise ingly low incidence of caries, where environmental factors did not foster extensive plant grow. In contrast late upper Paleolithic sites show a marked warming of climate where there is an increase in the growth of plant material and plant foods. This change would have promoted a growth in subsistence farming, at the very least.
This would have increased the amount of plant carbohydrates and thus there was an increase in the occurrence in evidence of caries. Again in the Mesolithic there is further warming in the surrounding climate to the point where an even greater amount of plant food harvest is attainable for human consumption. Fraser found that for the Mesolithic, there was a negative correlation between rates of caries and latitude. This was the case where skeletal assemblages from northern sites continually show a decrease in caries, where those of southern sites bring with it a marked increase. As opposed to those from the later upper Paleolithic and even those of slightly northern Mesolithic, the implications of this are obvious with regards to the interpretation of climate and substance. Coarse diets, as consumed by earlier groups of peoples were a natural way of reducing the incidence of dental caries, as the rough foods consumed tends to scour the teeth free of food debris and thus preventing the build-up of dental plaque.
Also with the diet effecting the frequency of caries on teeth it can also effect the location of these caries. The reasons for this include for example, within western populations there is a very soft diet. This again does not allow for a cleaning of the pits and fishers, therefore a natural cleaning process is eliminated, leaving a high amount of caries on the occu sal surfaces. Gender Among Prehistoric populations there is a greater incidence of caries within a female section in most populations that have been studied. This raises the question why this difference, and what are the causes and are these differences physiological or behavioral? It is possible that the age of an individual can play a factor with regards to the occurrence of dental caries.
It is generally accepted that in most populations women tend to live slightly longer lives than that of men within their respective groups. Thus there would be a greater exposure to the process that would cause caries to form. Also the point that female dentition erupt occurs earlier that that of their male counterparts they are again exposed to carious producing factors (Dunbar 1969). At this point in this paper I believe that I have shown conclusively that there is a direct correlation between the move to agricultural movements within human population, so now I will show how this effected the differences in gender and caries. One such explanation relies heavily on a behavioral explanation. One such explanation shows evidence from the New World where pre contact Native Americans had just such a complex.
Larson, Griffin and Shavit (1991) theorize that the division in labor in agricultural societies is a major impetus for this difference. They propose that a female was responsible for planting, plant care and gathering, whereas a male was responsible for hunting and the collection of fauna. Therefore although men would have been exposed to a greater percentage, as opposed to those of past to plant foods within their diet, women would have had the greatest exposure and the incidence of ingestion of these plant foods would be greater. So inevitably the occurrence of dental caries would have a greater impact on the dental health of females within this group. Again these same authors contend another area of behavior that might have influenced this complex. Their conclusion is that there is a difference in the pattern and frequency in the eating habits of such individuals.
They contend females would have had a greater contact with these plant foods, where an irregular eating pattern would have been employed thus the number of time, where meals occur is greater. Whereas men would not have been eating smaller more frequent meals, rather the opposite where there would have been larger more regular meals (Fraser, 1989). And if these individuals were on a sustained hunt than there would have been a less that average exposure to cryogenic foods. Therefore social roles might have played a significant role into the introduction of caries into the everyday life of early agriculturists. Ancient Remains Caries are a very ancient and widespread decease, it has been found that as far back as Australopithecine of south Africa had even been affected (Robinson 1952: Clement 1956), as well Homo erectus (Brod reck 1948). In the Neanderthals of Mount Carmel/Palestine was as common place as in the upper Paleolithic.
This said caries were, and are not exclusive to Humans, modern apes were affected and as far back as Pliocene animals and Pleistocene mammals. Caries are also present in domesticated animals especially when infected with Sheptococcus mutans (Bothwell 1980) According to current knowledge the rate of caries increased exorbitantly with the switch from Hunter Gather, to the Neolithic when food became rich in carbohydrates, which has increased over time. The frequency of dental caries in a skeletal collection can be expressed in a number of ways; a paleo pathologist could score caries as absent or present in individual skeletons. Then us that data to express the proportion of the total number of skeletons that were examined. Inherently the problem of examination lies within the burial environment along with the individual. This problem is that teeth are not stable within there sockets, and archaeological or other excavations tend to facilitate the occurrence of their deposition, and eventual loss in the burial environment and through the subsequent excavations.
The inherent process of intrusion that these excavations cause, along with handling of these remains, during such possess as examination curation and cleaning. Also these problems surface within the burial environment where an acidic matrix may cause a premature deterioration and thus a loss if vital information, especially if there is only a partial loss of dentition where a lack of caries may be incorrectly interpreted. Other factor that can influence carious condition, include age, where an individuals exposure to conditions that cause caries is increased over time in an older individual. Another condition that effects the examination and interpretation is modern techniques, more specifically tooth extraction where the affected tooth is removed and the information is not gained by the investigator How the disease has been treated in the past During the historic period, the disease was thought to be gangrene of the teeth.
Gangrene is death of part of the body. If left untreated, a gangrenous area increases in size until the afflicted individual became ill and died. Caries was treated as gangrene of other parts of the body was treated at that time, by surgical removal. Extraction was the equivalent of amputation for gangrenous limbs (Bremner, Maurice David Kaufman, 1975). The surgical specialty of dentistry developed because of the high demand for caries treatment by extraction. Extraction is physically difficult in young people with good periodontal health.
However it was effective in eliminating the disease from an individual when all of the teeth had gone. An alternative method of surgical removal, and a simpler one than extraction, was local debridement by cleaning out the decayed area. Many dentists advocated using a small file to abrade away approximal areas of teeth, including the area of the early lesion, to treat the disease. After the file was used the area was left open to saliva. This had some advantages because it was a simple treatment and the decay was slow to recur.
But it also had the disadvantages that food tended to lodge between the teeth and the teeth tended to move over time. (Bremner, Maurice David Kaufman, 1975) Local removal and then filling the resultant cavity was also attempted. The decay was removed with hand scrapers (excavators) or rotating burs. The early filings sealed badly and tended to fail within months, or a few years at most, because of continuing decay. Early fillings were metal lead, tin or gold.
Each of these metals could be pressed or hammered into the cavity. Pure gold was the most difficult of these metals to handle, but tended to last longer if it was very carefully placed and thoroughly condensed (Bremner, Maurice David Kaufman, 1975). Small bundles of very thin sheets of pure gold, called gold foil, were added one-by-one with tiny instruments and welded together using small hammers, called mallets. A mixture of silver and mercury, called dental amalgam, was also used to fill cavities.
The mixture is initially soft, so it can be packed into the cavity with only moderate pressure and because of chemical reactions between the silver and mercury new compounds are formed and it becomes hard (Prinz, 1975)... The concept that caries was gangrene continued well into the 20 th Century, and many patterns of care which flow from that concept continue up to the present time. The fastidious and systematic refinement of cavity design and filling technologies in the early 1900 s, mainly through the work of dentists in North America, changed the nature of caries treatment (Prinz, 1975). Through this work the outcome of the restorative approach was improved until by mid-century it became preferable to extraction. Carefully placed restorations (which by mid-century included fillings, only and crowns) tended to leak less. It became commonplace for restorations to last several years before they failed through continuing decay (Bremner, Maurice David Kaufman, 1975).
Complete removal of carious enamel and dentin was thought to be an essential part of successful filling design. Restorative materials did not adhere to teeth. In order for them to stay in place decayed areas had to be modified in shape, with hand or rotary cutting instruments, to make retentive cavity forms. Cavity shapes were also modified to increase the strength of the tooth and restoration. Minimal sizes of cavities were also mandated, so that the junction between the filling and tooth was areas of the tooth where caries did not usually begin, in the hope that this would result in restorations which would last longer before recurrent decay occurred. This was called extension for prevention.
The act of making a restoration therefore usually involved the removal of substantial amount of tooth structure, often several times more than was actually decayed (Bremner, Maurice David Kaufman, 1975). Preparing large cavities in hard tooth structure with hand cutting instruments (chisels, hatchets and hoes) was very slow and difficult, but it became easier as rotary cutting instruments (rotary burs) were developed and refined. By the 1970 s high-speed, air turbine-driven rotary cutting instruments became widely available. It became relatively easy to prepare large cavities using tungsten carbide burs and industrial diamond-impregnated rotary instruments. With regard to prehistoric populations there is little evidence for dentistry other than the probability that troublesome teeth would have been extracted.
Evidence would suggest that to stay the progress of a dental caries would require knowledge of the process involved. This is not to say that ancient peoples had no knowledge of this, but the simplest remedy would have been to remove it, and for someone with the means a prosthetic might have been used. The Individual This pathology would not have carried the same social stigma that for example, Leprosy would have. Also the fact that the injury was concealed for the most part would have shielded the individual. The fact that any individual could have been affected from any socio-economic background would have lessened the impact. Although one could say that a person of greater means would have a greater exposure to the caries forming foods, where they probably would have had a softer diet.
Throughout history there has been evidence for the use of prosthetics, which suggests an extraction of troubled teeth and an attempt to conceal their loss. There is also the problem of eating. An individual who was affected with caries on their molars, to the point of causing great pain while chewing, would possibly have extracted the troublesome teeth and received dentures to facilitate the chewing process. Conclusion Caries serve as an important marker for the development of noting humankind's changes, not only through time but through physiological and cultural changes. But the most important aspect of caries is its presence within all populations, and the changes that these populations encompassed into such things as their diet are reflected within the pathological record. However not every pit on dentition is caused by caries which can result in some misinterpretation with regards to the prevalence in populations, as caries can be visually observed without the aid of magnification instruments.
Some defects may depend on genetics, for example the buccal pits on molars, where other examples could be influenced by burial matrix. To understand the change that caries represent is important there is a significant implication for the occurrence of caries and human evolution. These changes serve as a marker with regards to not only a specific time period but to overall changes within peoples and how these changes are reflected in paleo pathology.

1. Chronic Disease of the Sigmoid Flexure. — Mon-
sarrat states that chronic inflammatory disease of the
sigmoid flexure sometimes simulates malignant disease,
just as is the case in the crecum. In the latter, how-
ever, the affection is usually tuberculosis, a tumor like
mass developing, associated with symptoms of intestinal
stenosis— unless there are signs of tuberculous infec-
tion elsewhere the diagnosis from malignant disease
may be impossible. The two cases reported by the
author represent two types of chronic inflammatory
lesion in the sigmoid flexure. The first case was one
of chronic adhesive colitis or sigmoiditis occurring in
a man. aged forty-four years. The second patient,_ a
man of forty-seven years, suffered from subacute in-
filtrative sigmoiditis. Roth conditions occur in other
parts of the bowel besides the sigmoid, but this seg-
ment of the bowel is almost always involved when the
disease affects the transverse and descending colon.
Usually it occurs in the latter situations as an exten-
sion backwards from the sigmoid.
2 and 3. Appendicitis.— Brook discusses the diag-
nosis and treatment of appendicitis, and states that
every now and then cases occur in which the disease
is of the most acute type, inflammation arising in the
appendix, and progressing with such rapidity and vio-
lence that the whole organ is speedily destroyed by an
acute septic peritonitis set up unless operation is done
without delay. If the fulminating appendix is removed
within a few hours of the on.set all may yet be well. .\
case may take on a fulminating character from the
very beginnmg, and the only ch;mce of saving life lies
in the watching of the case at short intervals, refrain-
ing from giving opium, and operating Buy Sildalis as soon as the
malady is seen to be steadily and rapidly becoming more
acute. In these cases there is often a period of com-
parative quiet after the first shock of the onset has
passed off; this is the surgeon's opportunity, for an
operation may now be done with almost as much ease
as in the interval between the attacks. The pulse rate
is the best guide, a steadily increasing frequency show-
ing that the heart nuiscle is being poisoned by toxines
and calling ior inmiediate interference, especially if a
fall of temperature is conjoined with the rising pulse
rate. The w-riter recapitulates our position in deal-
ing with appendicitis as follows: I. The majority of
cases will get over the attack if treated on simple
medicinal lines. 2. During the quiet period the appen-

The Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency (BAPPEBTI) is the local regulator of financial institutions involved in derivative trading in Indonesia, including Forex brokers who open a dedicated brokerage in the country. Though BAPPEBTI does hold regulatory powers, these are limited when compared to major international regulators.
The Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI) council has issued fatwas in relation to Forex trading, but the majority of Indonesian traders do not take these too seriously. The MUI or Ulema Council has no interventive involvement whatsoever in official lawmaking. That said, in 2015 the MUI issued a fatwa permitting Forex trading as it is not a form of gambling.
While there may seem to be an advantage of your broker being registered with BAPPEBTI, the trading conditions are typically less attractive than those offered by international brokerages. Since Indonesian residents are not legally required to trade with BAPPEBTI-registered brokers, the choice is more open, and traders can register with the broker of their choice.
Here is our list of the best internationally regulated Forex brokers who have support for Indonesian clients and sharia-compliant trading accounts.

Hyderabad - West Indies skipper Jason Holder finished with five victims as India lost their last six wickets for 53 runs to be restricted to 367 all out Sunday, a lead of 56.
Holder struck three times with his pace bowling in the morning session to trigger a collapse after the hosts started the day on 308-4 in their first innings in response to West Indies' 311 in Hyderabad.
Ravichandran Ashwin made a gutsy 35, including a 28-run last-wicket stand with injured Shardul Thakur, who was unbeaten on four, to add crucial runs after India were reduced to 339-9 having been 314-4 at one stage.
Ajinkya Rahane was the first to go, in just the third over of the day, when Holder had him caught by Shai Hope at gully for 80. Rahane added just five to his overnight score.
Holder, who missed West Indies' opening Test defeat in Rajkot last week, struck again just two balls later as he trapped Ravindra Jadeja lbw for nought.
Rahane's overnight partner Rishabh Pant was also denied a century when he was caught on 92 by Shimron Hetmyer in the covers off fast bowler Shannon Gabriel, who ended with three wickets.
Ashwin, whose four Test centuries have all come against the West Indies, frustrated the bowlers for 84 balls until Gabriel bowled him as the morning session was extended.
Paceman Thakur, who remained unbeaten on four, was in just the second over of his opening spell Friday when he limped off the ground. The West Indies management confirmed that Thakur would not take the field again on Sunday.
Holder, who had also got his opposite number Virat Kohli's prized scalp on day two, became only the second pace bowler after India's Umesh Yadav, who took 6-88 in the West Indies innings, to claim a five-wicket haul at the ground.
India lead the two-match series 1-0.

SINGAPORE - If you are caught in the rain in Sembawang, there is no need to fret - if you are at one of its umbrella-sharing spots.
Sembawang GRC MPs Khaw Boon Wan, Lim Wee Kiak and Ong Ye Kung officially launched the Sharella or "Share an umbrella" initiative on Saturday (Dec 30).
With the free scheme, residents can borrow umbrellas from any of 17 pairs of umbrella deposit spots in Sembawang, according to Dr Lim's Facebook page.
The umbrella deposit spots are situated at both ends of traffic crossings which are not sheltered. Residents who need umbrellas can simply pick up one of the umbrellas on the rack, use it to cross the road, and return it at the rack opposite.
Trials for Sharella were first launched with 20 umbrellas on two umbrella racks in Gambas in July, Lianhe Zaobao reported on Saturday.
The new racks are situated at roads near Sembawang MRT, including Admiralty Drive, Sembawang Way, Canberra Road and Sembawang Drive.
The project was the brainchild of a group of students in Republic Polytechnic (RP) who created it for their Final Year Project, which was completed in March this year.
The students, who have since graduated with diplomas in Design for User Experience under RP's School of Technology for the Arts (STA), worked with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) for this project, STA's assistant director (capability and industry) Joshua Hong told The Straits Times on Sunday.
Mr Hong, 43, said response has been great.
"So far we've seen Sembawang starting to roll it out at such a large scale. It's a simple, low-cost idea and it makes sense," he said. "It represents that Singapore has reached a certain level in terms of civic consciousness, and as a sharing community."
He said there have not really been cases of people taking the umbrellas and not returning them.
"Usually (if they go missing), it's because people may take them to go home, but the umbrellas usually reappear after a couple of days," he said.
Each rack can take about 20 umbrellas or more, which means there are about 680 shared umbrellas deployed at stations in Sembawang. The respective community clubs pay for the umbrellas, Mr Hong said, but people are also encouraged to donate umbrellas by leaving them at the stands.
Umbrellas have been donated by RP students and private companies. Mr Khaw, Mr Ong and Dr Lim also donated umbrellas at the launch on Saturday.
The project is helmed by a new batch of RP students, who work with LTA and various community organisations interested to take on the scheme.
Currently, only Sembawang and Ulu Pandan residents participate in Sharella, but RP is open to any community who wants to adopt the scheme, Mr Hong said.
"It is meant to be a community-based project, we want to see this grow," he said.

Enhance objectively
the visual impact
of your communication materials
A team of experts in human attention at your disposal
Proper Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In 2016, 3 researchers from the University of Mons in Belgium, experts in predicting human attention, had the idea to develop an artificial intelligence which allows to predict automatically and instantly the places which are going to draw the human attention, even unconsciously, on every type of communication material. Ittention was born.
Ittention AI models the "reflex" attention common to most of people. Our Artificial Intelligence simulates thousands of people looking at your communication material and give you objective insights to optimize the visual efficiency of the communications to increase their impact on the envisaged target.
The AI combines the results of scientific research in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, information theory and eye-tracking analysis.
Accurate and reliable AI
We created a specific artificial intelligence for every communication material to fit as close as possible the characteristics of each material. Indeed, for instance, the way you look at a web site or at a packaging in a shop or an ad in the street are totally different. That's why we set up several databases for each communication material. It enables us to give you accurate and very reliable results.
We can analyze a :
Easier, better and quicker decision
Brands and designers are two very different worlds that often have trouble understanding and communicating with each other. In the end, after many back and forth which takes time, the final call for a new design or an adaptation is often subjective. Using the objective Ittention metrics helps you ease the decision, gain some time and have a more efficient design with better visual impact.
Objective and unique Ittention metrics
Our team of experts in human attention developed brand new metrics in order to help you improve the visual impact of your design. You will find them nowhere else.
The metrics are designed to fit as close as possible the needs of each market and guide you to adapt efficiently the design based on your goals.
Each metric gives you a specific information about your overall design or a specific area of it.
In order to be more efficient, we also give you benchmarking figures to easily compare your design with former ones or the competition.
Specific analysis for each type of communication material
On top of a different AI for every communication material, we also set up a specific analysis to fit as close as possible the characteristics of each market. Indeed, what you need to know regarding the visual impact of a website or a packaging is not the same. For instance, a packaging has to be quickly visible in the shelves and the structure of a website has to be easily understandable. In that way we created three specialized type of reports:
Pack It
An analysis for packaging including metrics for the pack itself and its placement in the shelves
Ad It
An analysis for an ad (print or digital), a brochure, a leaflet or a newsletter
Web It
An analysis for the structure of a website or a landpage on desktop, mobile or tablet
A team of experts in human attention
Developing an artificial intelligence is not the most difficult part, it is more complicated to read and analyse correctly the data. It is not marketeers behind your analysis, it is a team of researchers recognized worldwide as experts in human attention with many articles published on the subject over the last 15 years. It is what you need to receive clear and targeted recommendations in order to improve the visual efficiency of your design. Our team gives credibility and reliability regarding the metrics we developed and our recommendations.
Pre-test/Post-test for multiple iterations
With Ittention, there is no long deadline to give you the results of the analysis given that we don't need people to test your design. So you can adapt the design pre-placement to avoid visual impact mistakes and realize multiple analysis for different iterations being sure that the final version is visible for the target. Otherwise, you can also realize an analysis post-placement. It's up to you and you don't need to plan it in advance.
Focus on the reflex attention
Attention is the first step of perception. Mostly, the first three seconds, the gaze of people will direct to areas which, in some way, stand out from the background based on novel or rare features such as luminance, color, orientation, texture, size, edge, curvature, corner, shape, face detection and location. This is what we called the involuntary reflex attention. Ittention only analyzes this one which is the indispensable condition to look further something.
After the initial processing of the low-level features, meaning is assigned to what we are looking at depending on our memory (culture, knowledge) and emotions. *This is what we called the conscious volitional attention. That's why people will decide to give more attention on images than the other depending on their memory and emotions.
Why is it so important?
"The only factor becoming scarce in a world of abundance is human attention."
Kevin Kelly, Founding executive editor of Wired magazine
Understanding human attention is of increase importance in marketing as consumers' attention becomes an ever-scarcer resource. Compared to several decades ago, consumers may often be richer in purchasing-power terms, but are almost certainly poorer in attention.
Between 1000 and 3000 commercial messages and visual information of all kinds assail our senses throughout our waking days. This means that our eyes move quickly from one thing to another, and we are ever more selective about what we give our attention to. Our thinking and our choices are probably dominated more by what we are currently looking at than anything else. In that sense, understanding the relative patterns of attention that consumers pay to each has become a pressing concern.
Worldwide recognition
Our proper Artificial Intelligence are important as the basis for our analysis but our strengths rely on our team of researchers that are recognized worldwide as experts in human attention with many articles published on the subject over the last 15 years. Their expertise is the key value when we write down our recommendations.
Experts from two specialized Universities
In order to be specialized our team of experts is composed of researchers from two Universities: one in Mons in Belgium and one in Rennes in France which have both a department specialized in understanding and expressing algorithmically complex phenomena taking place in our visual system.
Member of the Numediart Institute
Ittention is part of the NUMEDIART Institute which is the Institute for Creative Technologies. It is the temple of European research in audio, image, video, gesture, and bio-signal processing. Its discoveries directly benefit to Ittention innovative products.
Partner of Irisa
Ittention also works with IRISA which is the largest French research laboratory (850+ people) in the field of computer science and information technology. The lab covers all the themes within these fields, from computer and network architecture to artificial intelligence.
Member of Euratechnologies
In France, we are part of Euratechnologies, a centre of excellence and innovation located in Lille. EuraTechnologies has been ranked in Europe's top 10 accelerators by Fundacity.
Cross-markets expertise
Since our start, we have been working on many projects across several industries, such as FMCG, retail, insurance, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals,… just to name a few.
