Let me introduce myself: I'm Carolyn Vagts, editor of Quilter's World magazine and writer of this update. That's my day job, and at night, I'm an addicted quilter. I tend to eat, breathe and sometimes sleep with my quilting. I have a beautiful studio with my work space right in it. How convenient, since I work at and with quilting. As editor, I am very hands-on with every issue. I'm also very hands-on with this update. I love to share my experiences with other quilters in hopes it will inspire them to explore the endless possibilities available to them.
With each update I select a book or pattern to accompany it. It's usually something that I feel goes along with the content of my update. It's that time of the year again where I get itchy to work on fun autumn projects. My favorite time of the year is autumn. I love the colors, the cool evenings, the harvesting of the fields and gardens, and, of course, Thanksgiving. This is the time of year I find I get really creative. All I want to do is stay in my studio and create. I love the rich autumn colors and truly enjoy working with those colors to decorate my home. Pumpkin Patch Place Mats is a pattern that is most appropriate for the season, and I must admit it's what got me started on this quest to create the perfect topper for my dining table -- one that could be used from September to Thanksgiving. Ahh, pumpkins. Pumpkins are the perfect solution. I do love Halloween also, but that is a much shorter season. So, without further ado, I began to plan my topper.
|The Pumpkin Patch Place Mats pattern can be purchased at AnniesCraftStore.com.
First, I had to decide just what I wanted to applique onto my topper, so I began sketching pumpkins and leaves. I knew I wanted my topper to be more round than squarish, so I decided to go with a wedge-style topper using a 30-degree ruler with a round "petal" end. This particular ruler is 9 1/2 inches at its widest and 20 inches long. Once the decision was made to use the wedge ruler, I checked to make sure the pumpkins were the right size for the wedges. Then it was time to cut out the wedges from my chosen background fabric.
|My sketched pumpkins and cutting out the background wedges.
After I cut out all the wedges from the background fabric, I then selected fabrics from my scraps to make the pumpkins and leaves. Now this is where a nice stash of scraps is wonderful. I save all my scraps, sorting them by warm and cool colors, and storing them in see-through containers. I can't even imagine not having these containers full of fabric since I use them so often. They are my source for endless inspiration and my go-to place for most any project.
|The background wedges cut out, the pumpkins drawn on double-sided, paper-release fusible web, and a selection of autumn-color fabrics!
Once I had the fabrics sorted into possible pumpkins and leaf colors, I cut the traced fusible-web shapes apart and sorted them into piles. Then I began to iron the fusible-web shapes to the chosen fabrics.
|Fusible-web shapes cut apart and sorted into piles and then fused to fabrics.
When all the pieces were fused and trimmed, I began fusing the pumpkin pieces into place on each of the wedges. I had made two sizes of pumpkins, so I made six wedges with the larger pumpkin and six with the smaller. Once I had laid out the pumpkins and added the leaves, it was obvious that my larger leaves were too big so I set them aside and traced more of the smaller leaves. If you're going to make changes to a design, now is the time to make them. Not too many designs are perfect the first time around. Tweaking is usually necessary -- well, at least for me.
|Laying out the applique pieces before fusing them into place.
With my pumpkins fused into place, I added stabilizer to the back side of each wedge. Next I straight-stitched the inner curves on the pumpkins with a slightly darker-color thread, and then I switched to a machine buttonhole stitch to sew the outer edges of each of the pumpkin bodies and stems. This took a while, but doing each piece slowly ensures a nice finish.
|Stitching the pumpkins into place with a buttonhole stitch.
After all the pumpkins were stitched into place, I fused the leaves into place and began stitching them. The "vines," or whatever you want to call them, will be stitched in place when I quilt the topper. Adding detail when I quilt a piece is something I love to do.
|Using a buttonhole stitch gives the leaves and pumpkins a nice finish.
With all the applique stitching completed I started stitching the wedges together into pairs to make six sets. Then I stitched three sets into one half, repeating to make the second half. Lastly, I stitched the two halves together to complete the appliqued top of my round table topper.
|Two wedge units stitched together.
|My table topper is ready to layer, quilt and bind!
I love my pumpkin table topper and can't wait for another free afternoon when I can layer and quilt it. Using the things you already have in your sewing room or studio can be so much fun! The satisfaction one feels knowing that you already have everything you need to complete a project without running to the quilt shop is amazing. It makes it all worthwhile when I have to clean my studio.
If you have an idea for a project, make it! Just remember that every quilt pattern started somewhere on someone's design wall or sketch pad. If you can't find what you're looking for, maybe you need to design it yourself. I bet you're more talented than you think.
If you have any tips on how you channel your ideas into quilts I'd love to hear from you at email@example.com.

Italian game development outfit Kunos Simulazioni and publisher 505 Games announced that Assetto Corsa Competizione will be graduating from Early Access and launching in full on Steam starting May 29th, 2019 for £34,99.
The game will come equipped with everything that it featured during the Early Access phase, along with brand new content added to flesh out the full release. This includes the full-on single-player career mode that where you'll journey through the Blancpain GT Series hosted by Mirko Bortolotti, the 2017 Blancpain GT Series champion, where you'll create your own racing team and complete challenges and tests while moving up the ranks to eventually compete in the championship mode and win the crown.
If you just need to test your skills and goof around with the high-end sports cars on the realistically designed tracks, you can also do so via the Free Play Mode.
You can get an idea of what the graphics and gameplay is like with the launch trailer below.
Visually this game looks superb. It's a heck of a lot more detailed and realized than Project CARS 2, which was a huge disappointment on the graphics front as Slightly Mad Studios attempted to tone down the game to squeeze the game onto the home consoles.
The lighting, the physics, and the weather effects also look pretty slick running on the Unreal Engine 4. I'm impressed. Unfortunately since the game is using licensed vehicles it means that there is no realistic damage models, so just light scoffs and dents are visible on the cars during crashes, which is a huge letdown.
Even still, there's no argument that Assetto Corsa Competizione is a visual masterpiece as far as racing sims are concerned.
Beyond the graphics, the single-player modes, and the realistic weather, there's also a collection of realistic tracks based on LaserScan technology using accurately detailed circuits, complete with topographical mapping.
There are also returning multiplayer modes, including casual and ranked modes, online competitions, leaderboards, and and customizable multiplayer experiences complete with matchmaking.
You can learn more about Assetto Corsa Competizione by visiting the official website.

text: Jon Webb 20 Report post #1 Posted December 30, 2012 Here is the biggest build out of the 3. This is a 2007 Lexus LS460 that the owner wanted a build that was reliable, sounded great & could also be shown off a bit. He really wanted to keep the single 12W7 he already had as part of an exsisting install but the enclosure did not really fit in the trunk & allow extra space for even a pair of slippers, & the installation that was in the car was not really up to par. So other than using the subwoofer he had & looking for a little more space he really gave me freedom to build what I wanted. Just like the construction of a house or building we start off with a good plan (our blueprints) of what we are building & then we start by building a solid foundation. The foundation serves as a solid way to mount everything in the vehicle & ensure that the build will fit correctly & be sturdy enough to last a lifetime. The foundation is built by using steel 1" X 1" square tubing welded together & fastened securely into the vehicle by Nutserts that rivet into the vehicle much like the factory threaded inserts. Then we use 1/4-20 buttoncap allens & bolt the frame into the car. I like to tie as much of the build togther as possible even if the frame needs to bolt together once inside the car. The amps will mount to the frame along with the enclosure, and all the panels that are built. As always, All connections were Soldered & insulated with heat shrink, Wiring was routed & fastened with zip ties every 3" throughout the car & every 1" where it ties into the car or equipment. Custom Dash pods were also built for the 3" Midrange & Tweeter & fastened into the vehicle with 1/4-20 buttoncap allens, washers, & lock nuts. Again this was a Full Active setup. Equipment used...

Speaking Truth to Power: From Thomas to Kavanaugh
February 5 @ 7:30 pmFree
Speaking Truth to Power: From Thomas to Kavanaugh happening on February 5 at The Hammer is a screening of the documentary Anita with a conversation to follow.
Anita was originally released in 2013 and directed by Freida Lee Mock. The subject matter is centered on Anita Hill, who famously spoke truth to power, a black women recounting before a Senate committee of white men the repeated sexual harassment she endured while working with U.S. Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas. Her testimony influenced the nation by stirring political discussion about gender, race, sexual harassment, and power– issues that still resonate today.
Following the screening, there will be a conversation led by UCLA law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, who assisted Hill's legal team, and writer Rebecca Traister, author of Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger.
The screening will begin at 7:30 p.m. This is a free event, but tickets are required and available at the Box Office one hour before the program on a first come, first serve basis.

Being Filled with the Spirit
We are all filled with something, mostly ourselves, or, like some of the Christians at Ephesus, that and way too much wine (Eph. 5:18). The point is that whatever fills us controls us, constantly captures our attention, and occupies our time, efforts, and defines our goals. For Christians, being filled with the Spirit is the only real concern; being filled with anything else is distracting at best, destructive at worst.
But what does it mean to be "filled with the Spirit"? One thing we can know right off the bat is the verb 'be filled' is in the present tense, imperative mood signifying Paul is not making a suggestion, if we feel like it or when we get around to it, but a command. We can dispense with any procrastination, it's something we are 'to do and do it now'. Knowing this is not an option, then, one way to understand being 'filled with the Spirit' is through the term displacement and, as a result of displacement, replacement. An instance of displacement occurs when something heavy is put into something light, like a heavy rock into a pail of water. The water is displaced and runs over the sides of the pail. Replacement is simply that the rock takes the place of where water once stood.
The importance of being "filled with the Spirit is further reinforced by this observation: fifteen times the word 'spirit' (pnuema) is used in this letter and twelve of these refer directly to the Holy Spirit of which 5:18 is one example. We are sealed with the Spirit (Eph. 1:13); we have access to the Father through the Spirit (Eph. 2:18); the mystery of Christ has been revealed to us by the Spirit (Eph. 3:5); we have unity in the Spirit (Eph. 4:3-4); we are forbidden to grieve the Spirit (Eph. 4:30); we manifest the fruit of the Spirit (Eph. 5:9); we have the sword of the Spirit as part of our spiritual armor (Eph. 6:17); we are to pray in the Spirit (Eph. 6:18).
We already know that the Spirit is in every believer. The issue of being "filled" is how much of the Spirit you and I have and this obviously depends on how much space there is for Him. I think we all can agree that the Spirit is 'heavier' in terms of sheer existence than our 'self', that narrow little narcissistic center of consciousness, infinitely heavier in fact. So the more we give to Him of ourselves the more He settles into our lives and the self is displaced and, eventually, replaced with the fullness that is God. To be 'filled' is to be so full of the Spirit there is no room for anything else, to the point we overflow and all that emanates from us is the presence of God.
Finally, consider how remarkable it is how Paul uses the terms filled and fullness in this epistle, always building upward into the realities of being a Christian, the high point being "filled with the fullness of God" (Eph.3:19). Paul delineates what we have already have and what awaits us in his typical now/not yet logic. Line after line, idea after idea, prayer after prayer, Paul sets forth such a vision that we might run from the sometimes paltry lives we live and start enjoying the riches of His grace and love. It is for us to appropriate, enter into, take hold of what is ours in Christ Jesus and we must want it more than anything else, that very fullness of God that was in Jesus Himself (Col. 2:9). Being filled with the Spirit is being filled with the fullness of God.

|In today's world of technology, machinery and other computerized equipment, electricity (Electric Power) is humanity's most useful form of energy. It serves almost every home, store, farm, factory, commercial, residential, and industrial structures around the world.
In the home, electricity provides light and supplies heat in electrical stoves, toasters, and irons. It furnishes the power to run refrigerators, radios, television sets, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, and other appliances. In farms, electric machines pump water, grind feed, dry hay, milk cows, separate cream from milk and churn butter. Stores depend on electricity to run elevators and escalators. Electric power runs nearly all factory equipment including giant lathes and huge furnaces. In short, electricity is the energy that is used in almost all equipment in order to increase productivity, efficiency, comfort, and thus, reduce unnecessary wastage of human energy. (The World Book Encyclopedia, 1984).
All that have been mention above are the benefits that electricity has brought to mankind. However, if electricity is not applied correctly, it could cause harmful damages to properties, equipment, and could even injure human lives. In the Unites States alone, it is estimated that electrical damage to equipment was over 1 Billion annually; this is still excluding the amount of opportunity lost due to business downtime. Therefore it is extremely important to incorporate safety measures to overcome these hazardous effects.
Electricity per se is not a source of power. Electric plants burn coal or other fuel to make steam. In turn, this steam furnishes the energy to run generators that produce energy. Other sources of energy are hydroelectric and nuclear power stations. However, aside from electricity generated from these sources, there is also electricity that can be sourced from the dry moving air from the atmosphere. This type of electricity can neither be tapped, stored nor used. This electric current often causes destruction as mentioned in the previous paragraph. It is commonly known as "LIGHTNING" This will be the main subject of this website as well as the different products that are needed in order to provide safety from the hazardous effects of this phenomenon.
Lightning strikes have been a dominant force towards properties and equipment destruction around the world and especially in tropical countries like the Philippines where an average of 300 tropical storms visit annually. Thus, as have been mentioned earlier, it is extremely important to set up safety measures in order to protect our properties and to prevent costly damage.
Over the years, the most traditional and basic design of protecting structures from the harmful effects of lightning were through the installation of Franklin Rods, named after its inventor Benjamin Franklin. This is also widely known as the conventional type of lightning protection system. These rods are installed on top of structures and are interconnected using traditional copper conductors forming a cage like structure. This design was popularly known as the Faraday Cage.
The basic element of this traditional set-up are as follows:
Over the years, this set-up has been used in order to protect structures from lightning. During those periods, this type of system was sufficient as structures did not exceed 15 meters in height and there were basically no equipment to be protected from electrical discharges.
Today however, with the advancement in science and technology, the construction of buildings (structures) exceeding 300 meters have become possible. Also, we are entering an age where more and more electrical and computerized equipment are used in our daily jobs. With this advancement, it definitely follows that a more advance and comprehensive system be used in order to protect structures and properties as years of research have shown that the conventional system do have limitations.

Never Missing, Never Found
Never Missing, Never Found
I work in an amusement park. It's fun for the most part, even with the long hours and cranky customers. However, after reading NEVER MISSING NEVER FOUND, I can't help but look over my shoulder when walking through the employee passageway on my way to and from work. Of course, I know the events of the novel are all fictional, but at times they seemed all too plausible. That element of reality makes for a great fictional mystery. Written by the author of DAMAGE DONE, Amanda Panitch, NEVER MISSING NEVER FOUND is a mystery novel complete with numerous twists and turns combined with a complicated love story and sprinkled with humorous elements to keep the story light.
"NEVER MISSING NEVER FOUND is a great summer read that will have you on the edge of your seat."
NEVER MISSING NEVER FOUND follows the story of Scarlett, a girl who was kidnapped by a strange man as a child and forced to work as a maid for a woman she names "Stepmother." Scarlett won't dare try to escape because, first of all, Stepmother says her family doesn't want her anymore, and second of all, she'll be killed if she does. Eventually Stepmother brings Scarlett a "sister" named Pixie, who is always intent on escaping. Long story short, Scarlett always tells Stepmother of Pixie's plots to escape and Pixie always gets punished. Eventually, though, they both escape, but Stepmother tells Scarlett that she killed Pixie.
For this reason, when Scarlett begins work at the nearby amusement park, Five Banners, she is concerned when her coworker, Katharina, seems to know too much about her past. She acts strange around Scarlett, and even uses phrases that Pixie used to use. Scarlett thinks it's just her imagination going wild. After all, after her return home, her life has been remarkably normal: she had a loving family, a new job, and even a romantic interest in her supervisor. She isn't about to sacrifice all of that now -- no matter what.
Mystery novels are usually my favorites, and NEVER MISSING NEVER FOUND didn't disappoint. I thought I had predicted the ending from the very beginning, but it was completely different than what I thought. If anything, it was a bit confusing at times, but life sometimes is! It's definitely one of those books that I want to reread to piece everything together after knowing the ending, because there are probably a lot of small details that I didn't pick up on the first time. I liked how Panitch switches from the perspective of the girls in Stepmother's house and back to the present day, but neither part is too long; there is just enough information to get the point across. I also like that I was able to end the book without hating any of the characters. They all had interior motives that explained and justified their actions.
I would recommend this book to mystery lovers like myself, of course, but also fans of teen romance and comedy, as there are elements of all in NEVER MISSING NEVER FOUND. I would also recommend it to people who read and liked THE CELLAR by Natasha Preston, because there are many similarities between the two. Or, on the off chance that anyone reading this works at a Six Flags amusement park like I do, I would definitely recommend this book because, as you can probably guess, "Five Banners" is extremely similar to Six Flags! Overall, NEVER MISSING NEVER FOUND is a great summer read that will have you on the edge of your seat.

In its simplest form, bacteria that are present on the tooth surface breaks down the Carbohydrates that you eat or drink, into an acid. This acid slowly dissolves away tooth structure. The decay process occurs quicker on the inside layer (dentin) of the tooth. That is why dental sealants work well. They seal the tiny little openings in the enamel or top layer of the tooth. Good oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings break up and remove the sticky bacterial layer that forms on the tooth surface (plaque). This helps to prevent the decay process from destroying healthy tooth structure.
The hard structure of teeth is made up of high concentration calcium salt (hydroxyapatite) in a protein shape scaffold called the protein matrix. In all 3 types of tooth decay.....
- tooth decay in the pits and fissures on the biting surfaces of the teeth,
- tooth decay on the smooth surfaces:
- next to the cheek/lip
- next to the tongue or
- between the teeth and
- tooth decay on the root surfaces.....
LATER DESTRUCTION occurs when the bacteria in the plaque continue to destroy the tooth by removing the remaining calcium salt from the white spot and breaking down the protein matrix. Nothing is left except a void. This void is a hole in the tooth called a cavity. When the cavity reaches deep in the tooth, the bacteria infect the dental pulp which contains a nerve and blood vessels. The result is pain (a toothache) and infection (an abscess.)
Numbers of proteolytic enzymes (chemicals which breakdown proteins) are also contained in these bacterial waste products (i.e. trypsin, chimotripsin, hyaluronidases, various collagenases, etc.). These chemicals are highly effective in further breaking down & destroying the dentin, the tooth structure under the protective enamel.
Thus, it's essential we maintain this outer protective shell of tooth structure, enamel. Once enamel is physically violated, by tooth decay, fractures, etc., one's inner tooth structure (dentin) becomes vulnerable.
You can prevent tooth decay by regularly visiting the dentist, brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and cleaning between your teeth with dental floss daily.
My answer won't really be any different than the others above, but it's hard for any dentist to turn away from this particular question. Decay (caused by bacteria) will weaken a tooth, causing pits and holes to form (which we call "cavities"). Left untreated, this will eventually cause a tooth to break, and/or lead to infection.
For a tooth, decay = rotting of that tooth's structure.
Tooth decay damages teeth by creating cavities, i.e. holes, in teeth. This weakens the integrity of the tooth, which may lead to a fracture if not repaired properly. Decay can also cause pain as it approaches the center, or pulp, of the tooth. This is where the "nerve" is located.
Tooth decay (commonly called a cavity) is damaging because it creates holes that weaken the tooth structure. When the damage is small, your dentist can easily fix it. Sometimes decay can be so destructive that it penetrates all the way into the center of the tooth, attacking the nerve. This is a much more serious and complicated problem. The best way to catch decay early (when it's small) is to visit your dentist for regular check-ups.
A simple cavity disrupts the self-cleansing contours of the teeth that are naturally present. A "filling" returns the tooth to proper function, contour and even beauty in many cases. Dental treatment however is expensive compared with preventive, maintenance care. So cavities can affect you pocketbook too. In summary, tooth decay damages far more than your teeth and the disease pathway decay follows is far more complicated than a simplistic cartoon of germs eating away at the tooth. Tooth decay is easily prevented and difficult to treat, so partner up with a dentist you trust and keep your teeth and your health all your life!
Unfortunately we currently have no way of re-mineralizing any but the most minimal damaged enamel and dentine. Therefore, in order to treat these cavities, we must clean out this damaged, infected tooth structure and replace it with a 'filling'. We are striving to catch these cavities earlier and earlier in order to have more success at re-mineralization procedures. This is one more reason to visit your dentist regularly.
Tooth decay causes a hole in a tooth. The hole can weaken the tooth, and it can break and abscess. If treated early, the tooth can be fixed with a filling. If treated later, the tooth may need a root canal (filling of the root) or a crown. If left untreated, the tooth decay can lead to loss of the tooth.
Now the decay has passed the hard outer enamel and can reach the softer dentin. Once into dentin, decay will progress much faster as it spreads and destroys more tooth structure. If untreated the decay will eventually infect the nerve of the tooth. In most cases, cavities will cause no pain until this final stage of invading the nerve, or pulp, of the tooth. This is when pain and swelling, ie an abscess, can occur.
Tooth decay in its early form may not necessarily hurt or become sensitive which leads to the wonderful idea of having your dentist check for early signs. It is never as easy to fix something when it is in the early stages of disease which can greatly reduce the cost of allowing it to progress to a larger and more costly process.
The mouth is a chemistry lab that allows the flow of calcium in and out of your teeth. When bacteria (plaque) are attached to your tooth and are fed sugars, they produce acids that take calcium out of your tooth. Along with home care and the removal of the plaque, your saliva is a defense system to replace calcium from this acid attack and stop the decay process. If your home care is poor, the plaque is allowed to take more and more calcium out of your tooth. Initially, the beginning of a cavity is rough in texture and turns a white color. In this form, the tooth can be repaired by calcium replacement and considered reversible. However, over time if this continues, a hole or cavity is formed and bacteria can hide from normal cleaning techniques. This damage of the tooth decay is now irreversible and must be repaired by a dentist with a filling.
Tooth Decay damages teeth by dissolving the hard outer part of the tooth (enamel). Tooth decay occurs when the tooth loses its density or strength which allows bacteria to have an easier way to get to your underlying structure (dentin/nerve), which leads to sensitivity. You always want to treat decay as soon as possible so little problems do not become big ones! Always remember, prevention is the key!
Tooth decay weakens a healthy tooth. A weaken tooth will start to pit and a cavity or hole will result. Like a worm in an apple, the decay will travel and spread. The tooth can begin to hurt to cold and sweets. Once the decay travels to the nerve, you will have pain with chewing, or feel an aching pulse inside your tooth. This can begin from something so simple as a diet coke or Gatorade. Anything that has citric or phosphoric acid will dissolve the enamel. Also, GERD, gastric reflux, and bulimia will eat away at the healthy tooth structure. Once bacteria sets into the weakened area, you can have further problems with gum disease. The bad gums will negatively affect your health. From strokes to diabetes, it is important to talk with your dentist.
Tooth decay is caused by acid releasing bacteria that form due to the buildup of sugars in the mouth. It's the acid that erodes and eats away at the enamel. Once the protective layer of enamel is gone, tooth decay will continue to advance further into the tooth. If left untreated, tooth decay can lead to pain, infection, and possible tooth loss. That's why it is best to clean out and restore your teeth immediately when tooth decay is present.
Tooth decay causes damage to healthy tooth structure by making the tooth softer and weaker or unhealthy. If the unhealthy part is left untreated it only gets bigger and causes more of the tooth to become affected. It is best to treat tooth decay or cavities (cavitations) early to prevent the need for more invasive treatment. For example, if the decay reaches the Nerve inside the tooth then the Tooth will need Root Canal treatment.
The softer decay can also allow teeth to break or fracture. This is especially true if heavy pressure is put on part of a tooth that is undermined by decay. The softer section does not support the rest of the tooth.
Tooth decay is caused by bacteria that eats away at tooth structure causing a hole or cavitation in the tooth. Cavities can appear as dark spots or broken areas of the tooth. Some decay can only be detected on radiographs or x-rays, so it is very important to let the dentist take periodic x-rays even if you don't feel like anything is wrong with your teeth. Tooth decay damages the teeth as the cavities grows larger. Teeth can darken, chip, break, become painful, and progress into the nerve of the tooth requiring a root canal to treat it. Small cavities can often be treated with a filling and larger cavities may require a stronger restoration like inlays, onlays, or crowns. Teeth may require removal if decay has damaged a majority of the tooth.
At first there are no symptoms to the tooth because it just dissolves enamel which is the outer layer of the tooth. This area has no communication with the nerve or pulp chamber. It is not until the decay reaches the dentinal tubule under the enamel layer that you start getting sensitivity in the form of hot and cold sensitivity. Decay is a chronic disease that happens over a long period. When a tooth starts hurting it time for serious treatment.
Your best way to protect the tooth from major damage is to go to your dentist for regular checkups. He or she will examine you to find tooth decay or gum disease. If they find the disease when it is just beginning it is often a simple treatment.
What happens if tooth disease is allowed to progress, it can turn into a toothache. The ache can be dull or sharp where it hurts upon percussion (tapping on it). A dull ache is usually a sign of gum disease. A throbbing usually is a sign of irreversible nerve damage. In this case the nerve has to be removed from the tooth in root canal therapy or the tooth needs to be extracted.
The way the nerve is affected is by the acidic byproduct of the sucrose consumption by the bacteria. This infects the nerve or pulp of the tooth. The pulp of the tooth is nerve tissue like you have in spinal column supported with nutrients in the blood vessels. The bacteria and their byproducts infect this tissue and the tissues need to be removed. There are only two ways to remove them. One is through extraction and the other is through root canal therapy.
In conclusion, if you don't go to the dentist every six months, you are putting yourself at risk. Waiting until it hurts results in more complicated treatment and often can result in tooth loss. If you don't have insurance coverage for dental, don't let that keep you from the dentist. A cleaning and dental exam is your best insurance policy and often times less expensive than insurance premiums.
Bacteria live in your mouth, and they feed off the sugar from food that's left behind on your teeth after you eat. Bacteria produce acid, which combines with food particles and saliva to form a sticky film called plaque. Plaque erodes the protective enamel on your teeth and allows cavities to form. Over time, the bacteria move deeper into your teeth and the cavities get bigger and bigger if you don't get them filled. Eventually, cavities can become so big that your tooth starts to hurt. Untreated tooth decay can even make a tooth fall out.

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 24): Bukit Aman Police are confirmed to be visiting Goldman Sachs' Malaysian law firm Rahmat Lim & Partners since this morning.
As at the time of writing, the enforcement officers have yet to leave the office of Rahmat Lim. The media are denied entry to the firm.
"They (police) are still here, still in the meeting. But I'm sorry that we can't comment anything on this on behalf of the firm," the law firm's receptionist told theedgemarkets.com when asked details of the time and the number of police officers that arrived earlier.
"Unless you have an appointment with the firm, you are not allowed to even come up to this level," she added, signaling reporters to leave the area.
The office building's receptionist, meanwhile, said about "five to six" police officers were seen this morning.
"They left for a while, but came back later, and have not [left] yet," the receptionist said.
Earlier today, theedgemarkets.com, quoting sources, reported that Malaysian police were at Rahmat Lim to search for documents related to the three 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) bonds handled by Goldman Sachs.
Rahmat Lim were the lawyers representing the US investment banking giant during the issuance of the 1MDB bonds in 2012 and 2013, totalling US$6.5 billion.
"The police are there now after obtaining a court order to do a search because the law firm had refused to hand over documents requested by the police" the news portal reported, quoting one of the sources.
The source also said another law firm Wong & Partners, which represented 1MDB for the transactions, had given documents to the police as requested.
"Lawyers should not think that they can withhold documents in a criminal investigation," said the source.
Malaysian public prosecutors last month filed criminal charges against Goldman Sachs and two former employees, namely former Goldman executive Timothy Leissner and Roger Ng, for abetting Goldman Sachs over the 1MDB scandal.
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) also filed its 1MDB-related criminal charges on Nov 1 last year against Leissner and Ng as well as Low Taek Jho or Jho Low. Low, who has gone into hiding, was charged in absentia. Ng has been arrested in Malaysia and is undergoing legal proceedings on his extradition to the US.
Leissner has, however, pleaded guilty to two charges of money laundering and conspiring to corrupt foreign officials. He has agreed to forfeit US$43 million as part of his guilty plea.

Historical if not very erotic....
"Lover of the Last Empress" is a category III film starring the pin-up beauty Chingmy Yau and Tony Leung Ka-Fei. When Yu Lan (Chingmy) becomes a concubine of the emperor (Yu Rong-Guang), she is thrust into the midst of a cut-throat environment where anything and everything is done to get into the personal graces of the emperor. Being a relative novice in the bedroom compared to the other concubines, she fakes an illness and returns to the country where she employs the services of two of the most famous prostitutes to help her in her quest. When she returns, she manages to impress the emperor enough to become his favorite and eventually bears him a son. She also decides that this is the time that she is going to exact revenge on everyone that has crossed her in the past, and manages to find gruesome ways to do so, all while using the emperor's brother (Tony Leung Ka-Fai) in political maneuverings to solidify her power. Yes, this is the Empress Dowager we've come to know and love.
Being a Cat III film, I expected something akin to Sex & Zen, but this is nowhere as titillating. Chingmy is very cute and there are a few erotic scenes, but if that's what you're watching the movie for you'll be disappointed. This is more of a retelling of a historically favorite story with a bit of sex thrown in. Chingmy is decent, but her transformation from a naive concubine to the ruthless Empress Dowager was a little too sudden and hard to believe. Tony Leung Ka-Fei doesn't add anything extra to his portrayal of Prince Kung and seems to be a little bored with the proceedings. The positives of this movie are the costumes, sets and ruthlessness of the characters in their quest for absolute power.

Remarkable achievement in cinematography
Producer Wong Jing pulls out all the stops for his girlfriend Chingmy Yau Suk-Ching with this glossy star vehicle directed by cinematographer turned director Andrew Lau Wai-Keung. This beautifully mounted production is nothing more than a sexy, fictional retelling of the rise to power of the sadistic Empress Dowager, all done with a broad poetic license. Costumes and set design, lighting and movement combine to create remarkable achievement in cinematography for director Lau.
Lover of the Last Empress does prove that love is blind. Chingmy Yau Suk-Ching doesn't have the dramatic acting skills to handle some of the nastier elements of this story. Everyone but the producer knows that she's better suited in comedic roles and the lighter moments of the film are quite endearing. Performances by Tony Leung Ka-Fai, Yu Rong-Guang, and Valerie Chow Kar-Ling help to keep the illusion working.

Reviewed by:
Yet another account of the Empress Dowager's tyranny, this time as a high-budget sexploitation flick, courtesy of Wong Jing. Chingmy Yau looks cute and sexy, but hardly seems an ideal choice for the role, and indeed, some of her "dramatic highlights" will leave the viewer cringing with laughter. However, the film's visual opulence pleases the eye, and the scene in which Tzi Hsi seduces the Emperor is quite erotic and beautifully done. Leung Ka-Fei, whose presence in a Cat-III may be puzzling at first, gives a solid performance as Tzi's chief advisor. And, as if one needs to be told, "the events and persons depicted in this film are entirely fictional". Any relation to history, or to three-dimensional human beings, may indeed be coincidental. But it is fun!

Sure, it's rated III, but there's a lot of story there in this "Dallas in the Palace" story, a schlock combination combining all the tastiest tidbits from "The Last Emperor" and "Farewell My Concubine" with a little fan kung-fu, cat-boiling and a sequence where Chingmy learns sex from a prostitute-sifu.

5 must-reads by Caribbean authors
With the prominent spots most of the 'Classics' of Literature have taken, what we deem 'literary canon' has been shaped by books that many of us can't relate to.Ā
The reason lies heavily in the fact that most of these classics are by European authors, written in times where colonial and neo-colonial thoughts pervaded most of our books. These ideologies have caused us to heap huge amounts of praise on Europe, and foreign countries at large. The love affair with classical literature has made us feel ever so affectionate to the vast beauty of the 'mother' countries while there is little love for our own. Don't get me wrong, Europe is beautiful, and I have read mostly classical literature, however, with all that I've read I've also seen the common thread of praising social norms I just can't always relate to as a Caribbean person.ĀĀ
However, I was amazed to find out that there were prominent Caribbean authors who wrote at the level of the classic authors. Instead of sights of Europe and America that I felt indifferent to, images of our natural Caribbean beauties, our majestic mountains, scintillating streams, and rewarding rivers. With this newfound love, here are five books by Caribbean authors you should really consider reading. I haven't read all of them to be completely honest, but from fellow book lovers like myself, I place my trust, to give you these recommendations. Oh, and guess what! Some of them use Caribbean languages like Jamaican Creole too!Ā
Miguel Street by V.S. Naipaul
Written by Trinidadian Naipaul, this book delves into the lives of people in a small community in Trinidad called Miguel Street. It presents refreshing tales of familiar community life which you are sure to be enthralled by.Ā
The Same Earth by Kei Miller
Imelda, Imelda, Imelda. Told from the perspectives of different people at different time periods in Jamaican history, we hear the story of the main character Imelda, a Jamaican who went to the UK to study law. She comes back to Jamaica to embrace her roots in a thrilling, unique writing style that is sure to leave you joyous when you get to the climax.
Omeros by Derek Walcott
Our very own Barbadian Nobel Prize Laureate Walcott engages us in a thrilling epic poem which is sure to keep you glued to the pages!
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
After author Charlotte Bronte told us the classic novel Jane Eyre, which seems to inadvertently highlight several colonial ideologies, our amazing Dominican author Jean Rhys provides a more Caribbean perspective. Wide Sargasso Sea is more than a sequel, it is a clap back to all things neo-colonial, and the more familiar perspective of a Caribbean protagonist is sure to be relatable to you.
Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid
The haunting, the provocation, the Caribbean. This story of an Antiguan girl, quite similar to the style of Catcher in the Rye is sure to create a new found love for Annie John, as opposed to the formerly mentioned American classic. I love the Catcher in the Rye, it's one of my favorites, but a Caribbean book similar to this, what more could you want?
It's time for us to embrace our own culture, and fight against the cultural imperialism that we have to face. It is time to support our very own Caribbean authors.

Bayesian inversion of marine controlled source electromagnetic data offshore Vancouver Island, Canada.
Gehrmann, R. A. S., Schwalenberg, K., Riedel, Michael , Spence, G. D., Spiess, V. and Dosso, S. E. (2016) Bayesian inversion of marine controlled source electromagnetic data offshore Vancouver Island, Canada. Geophysical Journal International, 204 (1). pp. 21-38. DOI 10.1093/gji/ggv437.

This paper applies nonlinear Bayesian inversion to marine controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data collected near two sites of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 311 on the northern Cascadia Margin to investigate subseafloor resistivity structure related to gas hydrate deposits and cold vents. The Cascadia margin, off the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada, has a large accretionary prism where sediments are under pressure due to convergent plate boundary tectonics. Gas hydrate deposits and cold vent structures have previously been investigated by various geophysical methods and seabed drilling. Here, we invert time-domain CSEM data collected at Sites U1328 and U1329 of IODP Expedition 311 using Bayesian methods to derive subsurface resistivity model parameters and uncertainties. The Bayesian information criterion is applied to determine the amount of structure (number of layers in a depth-dependent model) that can be resolved by the data. The parameter space is sampled with the Metropolis–Hastings algorithm in principal-component space, utilizing parallel tempering to ensure wider and efficient sampling and convergence. Nonlinear inversion allows analysis of uncertain acquisition parameters such as time delays between receiver and transmitter clocks as well as input electrical current amplitude. Marginalizing over these instrument parameters in the inversion accounts for their contribution to the geophysical model uncertainties. One-dimensional inversion of time-domain CSEM data collected at measurement sites along a survey line allows interpretation of the subsurface resistivity structure. The data sets can be generally explained by models with 1 to 3 layers. Inversion results at U1329, at the landward edge of the gas hydrate stability zone, indicate a sediment unconformity as well as potential cold vents which were previously unknown. The resistivities generally increase upslope due to sediment erosion along the slope. Inversion results at U1328 on the middle slope suggest several vent systems close to Bullseye vent in agreement with ongoing interdisciplinary observations.

Researchers have developed an innovative method for analysing the genome of the Wolbachia bacterium. This endosymbiotic bacterium infects more than 70% of insects and is capable of influencing insect transmission of pathogens such as dengue or Zika virus. By sequencing and studying all DNA present in the ovaries of Culex pipiens mosquitoes, the researchers identified for the first time a novel mobile genetic element in this bacterium.

Gastro-intestinal parasites are a major threat to small ruminants raised under field conditions. In the Sahel, livestock farmers have traditionally used medicinal plants such as acacia to manage parasite infections in sheep. Researchers at INERA+ and partner institutions++ have recently assessed the effectiveness of the leaves of local acacia species against these parasites. Their findings will be used to create sheep-feed recommendations for livestock farmers. The findings were published as a part of Geneviève Zabré's doctoral thesis, presented on 12 June 2018.

Hey everyone!
We have a special blog post this month! Paige's cousin, Emma Kate is taking over to tell you how they've designed her middle school locker. She has a good understanding that the spaces we use everyday matter, and that no where is too small for tassels and a little color. Read on to see what they came up with!
First, Emma Kate and Paige picked the wallpaper, and from there selected the remaining colors. By picking out the largest element first, makes the other selections much easier to decide.
Secondly, designer's have the ability to feel right at home, and no where is too weird for a small brainstorm session. May it be the floor of the department store, a quick inspiration doodle on a napkin, or in the middle of chaos—we all have to stop, discuss, and complete.
And lastly, all the small accessories. Magnets, boxes for pens and pencils, and of course, our cute new stickers!

7:00 AM | The next cool front arrives here tonight...noticeably cooler on Friday
Paul Dorian
6-Day NYC Forecast
Partly sunny, warm, more humid, slight chance for showers and thunderstorms during the late afternoon hours, highs near 80 degrees
Scattered evening showers and thunderstorms then some clearing after midnight and turning cooler, becoming breezy, lows in the upper 50's
Mainly sunny, noticeably cooler, breezy, less humid, upper 60's for afternoon highs
Friday Night
Mainly clear, cool, mid 50's for late night lows
Mainly sunny, cool, near 70 degrees
Partly sunny, warmer, upper 70's
Partly sunny, warm, upper 70's
Partly sunny, warm, upper 70's
Another cool front will reach our area tonight and it will generate more scattered showers and thunderstorms for the Mid-Atlantic region. Following the frontal passage, there will be a noticeable cool down on Friday and it'll stay comfortable through the upcoming weekend as well. In fact, the weekend looks like it will turn out quite nice with some sunshine each day to go along with those comfortable temperatures. Very strong high pressure ridging will set up early next week across southeastern Canada keeping us relatively dry and warm for this time of year. This kind of upper-level pattern with strong ridging to our north always raises a red flag this time of year for the potential of a tropical system to "slide underneath" the ridge and head towards the southeast US. Consequently, we'll need to keep an eye on the Caribbean Sea, southwestern Atlantic, and Gulf of Mexico during the next couple of weeks.

Don't y'all love all the awkward introductions we do at the beginning of the school year! Since they're soooo much fun, let's do some here!!! I'll go first-my name is Tanisha Watkins, I'm a mom, wife, UMiami football lover, Tarheel basketball lover and I'm a 5th and final year PhD student at Purdue University! I'm analyzing my dissertation data which explores youth preferences for school-based sex education and how to use social media to encourage sexual health services among teens. One day, I hope to be known as the scholar who created the theory for social media engagement. Until then though, I'm just the girl who runs this page! I also love holidays, hash browns covered and chunked, and judge shows! Now it's your turn!!! Comment below to let's us know what year you're starting in your grad program and if you haven't done so already, tell us a little about yourself i.e. Research interests, school you're attending, favorite rapper, anything.
