Parenting lights ... multiplied ...

Lights, Lights Everywhere
I'm pasting a question from Renderosity that I found in the Poser 11 forum. I'm hoping someone can jump in and answer it (here and there if possible)
"I think I have gone brain dead as I can't figure this out If you create a light fixture as a figure and add one body part, no matter how many light fixtures you add to a scene the body part internal name never changes If you want load a light set parented to that light fixture, no mater where that light fixture is in your scene it loads in the right spot based on that never changing internal name of the body part.
However if your light fixture is a prop, the internal name changes each time you load it like fixture for the first time added and then fixture:1 for the second time added to the scene.
Is there any way to parent a light set to multiple light fixture props where the internal name keeps indexing up or fixture:1, fixture:2, fixture:3
I could have sworn I have done this before , but I might be imagining. (In my case my memory was the second thing to go,. Don't ask what the first was)
Not sure if it is possible to load a prop where you edited the pp2 to make the lights load parented to the prop which would also solve what I am trying to do.
Doing a series of night scenes with varying light poles and light fixtures on buildings and the fixtures are all props
TIA in advance for any advice And if you want to call me stupid, go ahead since I already know that."
Can this be done?

With magnets if you edit the CR2 / PZ3 etc and remove the actor numbers :1 , :2 etc. They will apply to whatever you currently have selected in the scene. And there is the catch, they apply to whatever you have selected, so you better be sure you have what you're trying to apply them to the item you have selected.
This may also work with parenting light sets. I have no idea.
I believe you can also change the parenting to current prop, current actor etc. Though not totally sure as it has been a while since I've done it, and I'm lucky if I can remember what I did yesterday much less something from a while back. Lol.

@boni from what I see, the :number suffixes are strictly figure relative, while props not parented to figures when loaded get incrementing _number suffixes.
Props applied to different figures will acquire the figure's colon suffix number, which keeps their internal names unique when they are singularly applied to different figures. Were you to apply a second prop/light of the same type to a figure which already sports one, the second application will acquire an incremental underscore number suffix in addition to the figure's colon number suffix, in order to keep them uniquely named.
It is certainly possible to have lights load with props and figures (I regularly parent a camera and child light to figures which load from the library). The problem comes when a second such figure gets loaded, as the Poser developers' mindset was reportedly fixated upon cameras and lights being scene parented objects, with entire lighting sets envisioned as being replaced with a subsequent light set being applied from the library. That perception prevented the simple operation (not to mention the current hard limit of 8 lights supported by OpenGL previews, though that could change) of loading a second figure-camera-light combo from preserving the original figure's camera and light while adding a second such figure. Since the figure, camera, light definitions in the library already contain a hard-coded figure reference number, the new figure was assigned a different colon number suffix, but the parented camera and light both replaced the original figure's parented camera and light. Not what is expected.
I have previously worked around this by defining a library .cr2 with a different colon suffix, including the camera and light, preventing the replacement on loading a second figure.
I regard the functionality you have discovered as a bug, but I having had two decades of hammering my head against inflexible design preconceptions, I am utterly over it.
The solution I would propose is a Python Script to replace Poser's own library loading routines, but so much of the required Python API is still not exposed, that it may not yet be possible. Nor are the previously RDNA hosted library replacement utilities still available (I'm not sure whether they were Windows only or worked on MacOS as well).
My apologies for the negativity, but I'm currently stressed out of my brain with preparations for nativity and new year celebrations to the point where I only want to have to deal with them biannually, or less. [/rant] ;-/

9 - Memorial monument of architecture amine KhojaCabri refers to the eighteenth century. It is a monument mosque revealed on 4 sides., To the south are the mosque buried.Later aivan, honako and madrassas being built was poorly preserved.
Far from Namangan are the ruins of the ancient city Aksikent. Archaeological studies in recent years have shown that Aksikent had massive walls and citadel. The territory of more than 30 acres, has been the center of the wall of the craft were separated, and the city is protected by a deep moat. Before the thirteenth century was the capital of Aksikent Fergana Valley. The city was destroyed by the Mongols. In the XVII century, after the earthquake, the residents in the city of Namangan drawn.
Shakhimardan - one of the most beautiful places in Uzbekistan. The town is 55 km away. Located in the south of the Ferghana and lies at an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level, between the mountains of the Alai Range. Shakhimardan on both sides by mountain streams Ok-su-su and Kok, which are combined in a river - Shakhimardan-sai. It is interesting to get that on the way from Fergana to seven times to cross the river Shakhimardan word in the village.
In the 1930s, as a result of exchange of territory between Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan was part Shakhimardan, a kind of a small island.
Shakhimardan history is largely connected with the name of Hazrat Ali, the fourth Caliph of the Prophet Muhammad's son in law. There is a theory that during the stay of Hazrat Ali in Central Asia, he visited the village Shakhimardan, and one of the possible seven of his grave is located in the community, which is virtually impossible to prove or deny. Translated from the Persian "Shakhimardan" means "lord of men", which corresponds with the name of Hazrat Ali.
In the 20s it was in the middle of Shakhimardan mosque and the mausoleum of Hazrat Ali, where the faithful come to pray. But in a time of persecution of religion, the Soviet authorities demolished the mausoleum of Ali. Only after Uzbekistan gained its independence in 1993, the mausoleum of Hazrat Ali was rebuilt in the same place again and has its outer form.
Shakhimardansome Hamzaabad the time was called, in honor of the poet and the founder of the Uzbek Drama Hamza Hakim-zadeNiyazi. In the 60 years in his honor Hamza Museum and Mausoleum was built.

This piece of nature is the most popular for locals and tourists alike.

Trafalgar Centre in Nelson wins prestigious EVANZ award.
Last week the Trafalgar Centre in Nelson was honoured to be awarded the 2019 Pixel Medium Venue of the Year at the EVANZ (Entertainment Venues Association of New Zealand)
The Nelson Trafalgar Centre was an interesting project for Holmes Consulting, as we were asked to assess both the 1970s 'Main Hall' building and the more modern 'Southern Extension' built in 2005. Both required seismic strengthening which Holmes designed in 2015 and then carried out the work between 2015-2016. Among the challenges for building was accommodating the Nelson Giants basketball team for a season in the midst of construction.
The Main Hall is quite a cool space with timber glue laminated arches which Holmes then added steel to for support, creating an aesthetically pleasing result for the client. We added some buckling restrained braces to the sides of the building, roof bracing, and also improved the foundations.
Their recent win adds to the venues collection of accolades, after the architects [Irving Smith Architects] won a Public Architecture Award for the Centre last year.

Hab 3:19
The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places.
This is one of my favorite Bible verses. This promise ignites my soul; someday my mobility will no longer be limited because of the damage from RA. Someday, I too will climb mountains like the deer who live there.
If you are interested, Hannah Hurnard has written a book using this verse as its foundation. There is also a beautifully illustrated children's book available.
You'll meet "Much-Afraid" who lives in the "Valley of Humiliation." Her "crooked mouth and crooked feet" make her long for "hind's feet" so she can "leap upon the high places" and be with her friend the Shepherd. In this book you follow her journey to realizing that desire.
Hinds' Feet On High Places is a powerful allegory illustrating God's love for all his children, no matter their situation.
The books are on Amazon. Below are the links.

Minnesota Republican led House approves trans student bathroom segregation
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota House wants to restrict transgender students' access to school locker rooms and bathrooms.
Minority Democrats objected fiercely to a Republican move to include the provision in an education budget bill Saturday. The House approved the proposal in a divided voice vote.
Rep. Tim Miller's provision says group locker rooms, bathrooms and showers designated for one sex can't be used by the other. It doesn't preclude schools from offering single-use bathrooms or changing rooms to transgender students.
Miller, a Prinsburg Republican, says it ensures students' privacy. DFL legislators argue it's discriminatory and could lead to legal challenges.
A similar move that would ban transgender students born as male from female athletics stalled in the DFL-led Senate.
The provision still has to go through the Senate and Gov. Mark Dayton.

One Response to Minnesota Republican led House approves trans student bathroom segregation
I am just sick of the GOP. Sick of mostly white, straight men telling us (women and Trans women). Where we have to pee and poop. Please leave your transphobia at the door when you come to work politicians.
Dear GOP, Please get out of my Bedroom, please get out of my Doctors office, Please get out of my spiritual life, please stop telling me who i'm allowed to marry, please stop telling me i have no rights to FMLA to support a sick partner, Please quite telling me i'm not entitled to death benefits should my partner die, please stop letting others dictate where i'm able to shop, eat, pee and poop… Please quite using Privacy and God (and i do mean USING) to pit religion against people. Pretty much stop passing any new legislation that continues to poison our society with hate, discrimination, Bigotry and greed. see how many days in a row you can go without doing that… Thank you.

This 20' Limestone has been outfitted by a very knowledgeable boater and is equipped to fish or cruise. Repowered in 2003 and it has low hours on the motor. Custom Seating and coolers installed along with enclosure. Come see and you will be impressed with this quality built boat!!
In the current powerboat market, too often the emphasis of design has been on styling with the important qualities of sea worthiness, fuel efficiency and ride too often ignored. The Limestone 20' challenges this trend by placing a premium on construction. Her strategically designed and placed lift strips allow her to rise quickly and level to plane even at low speed. Throughout, deliberately absent are any superfluous add-ons, whether at the helm station, or in the interior or cabin.
Like all Limestones, the 20' benefits from a pragmatic approach to boating that ensures she'll maintain her beauty and strength after years of enthusiastic use.

Standing before Pilate Jesus said he had come to bear witness to the truth. Then Pilate posed the obvious question: What is truth? Jesus never answered him because there are no answers to that question. It was and still is the wrong question. Ever since the fall the question Pilate posed has haunted mankind. We have tried to answer it in every possible way from sex to complex theology. The answer continues to evade us until we pose the right question: Who is truth? Jesus came to bear witness to himself. He is the truth. He said: I am the way and the truth and the life. The startling fact is that every new creation is truth. You are truth. It doesn't matter if our knowledge is wrong. We are still the truth. If our confession is contrary to who we are we are still the truth. In every now the Father recognizes us as the truth. It is an inescapable fact that every son is the truth on account of that the Father is truth. You want to know the truth? Behold yourself. You are it! And as we all know it is the truth that sets us free. There is nothing more freeing than recognizing Christ as us.

What is mean by power? Based on Stephens Robbins and Timothy Judge, power is about the ability of one individual to influence the behaviour of the other. According to Oxford Dictionary, power is the ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way and the other meaning, the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behaviour of others or the course of events. Through these two definitions, power is about to influence or dominate people to do something for an event. In short, power is the capability to influence or change the development.
There are two types of power, namely formal (positioned-based) and personal (person-based). Formal power can be defined as an individual's position in an organization. Four categories can be founded in this type of power, namely coercive power, reward power, legitimate power and information power. As for personal power, it's about a person exercises power derived from their unique individual characteristics. Expert power and referent power are the categories of the this type of power.
As for today, I just want to focus to one type of power, which is personal power. What is personal power? Personal power as been defined above, the person don't have to influence of others but it's a self-assertion, represent a movement to self-realization and transcendent goals in one person life. Sometimes, we often to misunderstood about this type of power because when we heard the word "power", we always think about dominance, to control and authority. But personal power, it's about our inner self power that influence ourselves to be more positive person. In other word, it's all about the person attitude or state of mind without any attempt to control others as to be a better person.
After understood the definition the personal power itself, why this type of power is really important to us? How we can reclaim our own personal power? As we know, personal power is related to our self-assertion. We need to know it is our inner power are in positive or not because if it's not, it will make ourselves seems powerlessness.
Based on Neale (2015), there are three senses of personal power. First sense is self worth. In sense of good self worth of personal power, we as a person need to be like about ourselves, value about ourselves and accept who we are. Through this sense, we can improve our self confidence. Second senses are respect for others. In these sense, it's about not to blame and focus about what's wrong the people surround us, but it's about how we shows our respect to others with listen to their opinion and respect towards the seniors. Last but not least, the third senses are self-fulfilling prophecy. In these third senses, it about our believe that we the one whom create or in charge of our destiny, not people that order to follow their way.
Besides that, Friedman (2015) said that the personal power is important as it work to who we are and when we want to develop our personal strength and power as we know about ourselves. She also said that we must not tolerate with our egos because an ego is not the truth. If we accept and understand our talent and ability is the truth and we can get our points across with honesty. The utilization of humor in work can reduce tense circumstances, and it can break the ice in awkward situations.

So, now we know the importance of personal power to our daily life based on these two perception.
In introduction of this assessment, I have defined the category of personal power which that have been divided into two categories. First category is refer to referent power and second categories are expert power. Referent power can be define as the ability of a leader to influence a follower because of the loyalty, respect, friendship, admiration o a desire to gain approval from the follower itself. As for expert power, a person who obtains special skills or expert in certain areas allows to be in control.
What the characteristics of personal power can be found in ourselves? Based on Burton (2014), he said that there are five characteristics of personal power that we can found in ourselves. First characteristic is patience. A person who being patience, they will keep things in perspective, embrace the process and allow things to evolve. The person will never fear failure. Second characteristics are ownership. A person who have this characteristic, they take the responsibility for their choices, decisions and actions. They also will operate their work with a bottom line mentality. Third characteristics are wisdom. An individual will make informed decisions based on first observation and results. They also been dying for knowledge and possess a keen willingness to learn. Forth characteristics are emotional intelligence. This refers to an individual that can manage their emotions and also explore to understand the emotions of others as they want to be empathetic. The decision making that they make are based on information and not derived by their own or others emotions. Last but not least, the fifth characteristics are respect. An individual respect themselves and others as they treat all people surround them with dignity and respect. They also respect others different points of view.
From definition, importance, conceptual and operational of this personal power, we can see it through the scope by divide personal, power and personal power itself. These bring different definition as it have a different scope.
According to Merriam-Webster, personal is related to or affecting a particular person (private). Besides that, based on Oxford Dictionary, personal meant by an individual's character, appearance, or private life in an inappropriate or offensive way. By these two definitions, we can see the scope that personal is about a particular person with his or her private life.
As for power, it can be define as the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behaviour of people or the course of situations based on Oxford Dictionary. Other that that, we could take the definition of power from Merriam-Webster that said power is the capacity for being act upon or undergoing an effect. Based these definitions, the scope can be seen as power are the capability of an individual in influence by its authority in his or her hand.
Personal power as we can see from definition, it is about an individual exercises the power derived from their unique individual characteristics or in other word, he or she don't have to influence people surround them as they want to develop themselves to be a better person. So, the scope of personal power we can conclude that personal power is about our inner power to influence ourselves to be more effective and better person.
Personal power we could see from the social psychologists John French and Bertram Raven, as they have studied this phenomenon more than half a century ago. Their research help us to understand why some leaders are capable to influence us, how prepared we as we want to accept their power, and – if you are a leader – how you can develop new power bases to get the best from your followers.
French and Raven, they have developed five bases of power which that include for personal power as well in 1959. The five bases are legitimate, reward, expert, referent and coercive. Six years later, Raven added another base, namely informational. They have been categorized into two types, namely positional and personal. Now, we focus on personal type only.
Personal power have been divided into two, namely referent and expert power. As I have explained in conceptual and operational section, expert and referent are the categorizes that I have been searched. Expert power that been defined by these two social psychologists, when the individual have the knowledge and skill, it enable the person to understand the event happen surround him. As the person become knowledgeable, the followers will respect and obey to his or her order, in without any force, they respect their leader.
As for referent power, they found that this type of power comes from one person liking and respecting another, and identifying with her in some way. Referent power can be a huge responsibility to an individuate, because he or she don't necessarily have to do anything to earn it. So, it can be abused quite easily.
The similarity of these types of power is none. There are a lot of differences that been found.

Back to 2015 Annual Meeting Program
Purpose:The ideal k-wire based external distraction device for fracture dislocations of the PIP joint has yet to be identified. To date, there are no direct comparisons between different types of distraction devices in the literature. Using a cadaveric hand model, we performed a biomechanical analysis of two devices, using one as described by Suzuki et al and the other by Hynnes & Giddins. The effect of the devices on the intra-articular width and on the force of flexion of the PIP joint was measured. Methods: Thirty-two cadaveric fingers were used to compare a pins and rubber system with 3 and with 5 elastics per side (3E and 5E), as well as a pin system that uses no elastics (2P). Articular distraction of each device was compared using x-ray imaging. The force of flexion required to pull on the flexor digitorum profundus to flex the PIP joint to 45? and to 90? with each group was also measured. Results: The three study groups showed statistically significant (p<0.01) articular distraction from baseline. Intra-articular spaces were 3E-AP 199%, Lat193%; 5E-AP 217%, Lat 200%; and 2P- AP 241%, Lat 183% of the pretreatment measurement space. Articular widths were 3E-AP 1.29mm, Lat 1.18mm; 5E-AP 1.41mm, Lat 1.22mm; and 2P-AP 1.46mm, Lat 1.22mm (no statistical difference between groups). Forces of flexion at 45? was 3E- 3.97N, 5E- 4.17N, and 2P- 4.87N (no statistical difference) and 3E- 11.27N, 5E- 10.29N, 2P- 14.34N at 90?. Discussion: The three devices have similar distraction effect on the PIP joint. Resistance to joint mobility was greatest for 2P despite not attaining statistical significance. Given that all devices are equally as effective to distract the joint, the choice of device should be based on the force of flexion, ease of placement, reliability, and simplicity. Based on this, we favor 3E and 5E given that it is easier to flex, simpler to obtain precise placement of the distraction pin, and did not spontaneously disengage over the course of the study as opposed to 2P. The use of 5E over 3E provides a greater joint distraction, no increased resistance to flexion, and is just as reliable and easy to place.Clinical relevance: This study allows clinicians to better understand the biomechanical effects of each of these devices and allows physicians make an informed decision as to the best distraction device described.

February 7th, 2017
Anderson, S.C. – Dead Horse Productions, LLC has volunteered its services to help with the preservation of the historic Rhea County Courthouse in Dayton, TN.
The Rhea County Historical and Genealogical Society is working hard with various state agencies and benefactors to save the courthouse that once hosted "The World's Most Famous Court Trial". Designated a National Historic Landmark, the courthouse and the museum it houses is in need of upkeep and repair. Built in 1891, the courthouse was the site of the famous "Scopes Trial" of July 1925. The controversial judicial proceedings would see former United States Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan and renowned lawyer Clarence Darrow descend on the tiny town to argue opposite sides in trial designed to test a state law that made it a crime to teach evolution in schools. The ongoing trial would resonate throughout the nation for every major newspaper in the country reported on the proceedings daily until the jury declared John Scopes guilty on July 21st.
Dayton also happens to be the home of Vic Aviles, the Executive Creative Director of Dead Horse Productions. "We've done several historical projects in the Anderson area," said Aviles. "And while Anderson is home now, Dayton is where I am from. I feel that certainly we can do something to help. Especially if it's an historical project; not to mention that it involves the courthouse itself. For me, there is a 'wow' factor in that."
Dead Horse Productions has made a few trips to Rhea County since the new year to address the historical society and identify where their contributions can best be used. The company plans to help by publicizing the story of the courthouse, produce a fundraising video, and document the restoration and preservation process. Linda Lavold, the Administrative Director for Dead Horse Productions, was also passionate about the project. "It's a beautiful building. Being inside it, you can feel the history around you. Our team is excited and eager to be a part of this project".
This will be an ongoing project for Dead Horse Productions. They are producing the first of several videos now and will return to Dayton in several weeks to document Dr. Carroll van West from Middle Tennessee State University and his students as they assess the courthouse. Dr. van West is also the Director of the MTSU Center for Historic Preservation and the Tennessee State Historian.
Dead Horse Productions has completed a Call To Action video for the project, please see the link below. More videos are scheduled to be produced in the coming months.

AUSTIN — Uber and Lyft drove right out of Austin Monday morning. Yeah, after threatening to end service in the state capitol if a proposition over fingerprint background checks failed to pass, the ride sharing apps followed through and shut it down.
Because Prop 1 failed to pass, ride sharing apps will now have to adhere to stricter fingerprint background checks, but Uber and Lyft aren't playing ball.
The result of the vote is especially devastating for the companies since they spent over $8 million in advertising during the campaign.
Citizens and drivers alike seem divided on the contentious issue. Just checking the Prop 1 hashtag on Twitter, you see Austinites blasting what they call political overreach by the city. Others are hammering the apps for ceasing their service, taking away a source of income for thousands.
But this controversy might be a wide-open door for one local start-up. "Get Me" is a ride sharing app, initially started in Dallas, and they've vowed to stay put in Austin. With the demand for these ride shares sky high, Get Me may just have the opportunity they need to burst onto the scene.
Well, no matter what happens over the coming weeks, with so many ride shares off the grid, folks in Austin may want to invest in a bicycle.

When Thierry Mugler released Angel in 1992, perfume industry professionals were ambivalent. Some hailed this over-the-top mélange of caramel, chocolate and patchouli as a masterpiece. Others considered it a brash combination, a flavour masquerading as perfume. More than 20 years later, Angel is still gracing the top 10 bestseller lists and inspiring new so-called gourmand fragrances. The question now is whether perfumers can offer something even more surprising. How about a savoury aroma?
Most savoury gourmands aim for a subtle illusion – the tangy darkness of olives, the green sharpness of coriander leaves or the musky warmth of basmati rice. Fittingly, the biggest savoury gourmand launch came in 2010 with Womanity (from £38.50 for 30ml, second picture), another Thierry Mugler creation. The composition is built around caviar and fig, the briny nuance pushing against a backdrop of roasted hazelnuts, musk and woods. Like Angel, it provoked polarising reactions, though not the same level of infatuation.
Recent fragrance research has delved into materials evoking salty impressions, and Jo Malone's Blue Agava and Cacao(£82 for 100ml, second picture) takes a page from such findings. An accord of several notes mimicking the scent of sea-salt offsets the sweetness of red berries and chocolate. Malone's Wood Sage and Sea Salt (£82 for 100ml, first picture) is even more strongly seasoned; one can almost feel the crunch of Maldon salt-flakes. In a similar vein, Hermès's Eau des Merveilles(£113 for 100ml, second picture) uses ambergris, a marine, animalic material (or rather its more ethical synthetic analogue) to add radiance to the composition. The fragrance is earthy and dark, but the saline accent cuts through the heft and gives Eau des Merveilles a shimmering quality.
Appetising notes can also be used in citrusy and green colognes. This fresh, watercolour-like medium allows perfumers freedom to play with novel twists. One example is The Different Company's Oriental Lounge ($235 for 90ml, first picture), a blend that opens with bergamot and curry leaves. Curry leaves, unrelated to standard supermarket curry powders, flavour Indian and Sri Lankan dishes, and in Oriental Lounge their piney and nutty aroma adds depth and richness.
Etat Libre d'Orange takes the gourmand idea further in Fils de Dieu du riz et des agrumes (from £70 for 50ml, first picture) and offers something even more daring by pairing savoury and sweet. The edges of Thai flavours like lime, coriander greens, rice and ginger are softened, and the effect is simultaneously intriguing and addictive.
In stressful times people often reach for warm, enveloping scents, reminiscent of childhood indulgences; for those who have salty cravings, fragrances with savoury accents offer similarly comforting delight. While it remains to be seen if the fragrance counter will welcome a novel gourmand idea to compete with the cotton-candy favourites of the moment, new-generation savoury notes are worth exploring for their memorable sensations and effects.
For more perfumes good enough to eat or imbibe, see teas in a bottle, or for some something more seasonal, try zingy scents for spring.

_Why? It's something I ask myself often. Why am I here all alone? Why do I make my way up the jagged rocks that cut at my soul only to weep a river between us? One solitary light stands by my side, flickering in the wind as if it was so fragile it could be snuffed out in an instance. I see you across the way, nothing more than a bag of bones getting closer and closer to your shallow, watery grave. You are consumed! And all I can do is cry, because there is nothing I could have done to save you.
Why do I talk as if you are still alive? Why do I allow you to have so much power over me? You can't hurt me anymore, not physically, and yet, my damage is everlasting.
When? When will you leave me alone?

Dental Care and NHS Funding

It looks like a succession of Health Ministers have scored a massive home goal by progressively increasing dental charges and simultaneously destroying NHS dental care.
Heart disease and Dementia consume a disproportionate amount of NHS and Social Care resources, but there is a growing likelihood that a relatively small investment in preventative dental hygiene could have saved massive amounts of money as it appears that there is a strong link between Dental Caries and heart disease, and also a strong link between gum disease and dementia!

I heard this years ago, can't recall where. I thought it was a fact.February 3, 2019 at 4:23 pm #30387
The 'proof' for a dementia link is fairly recent and based on studies in mice and people with dementia. As usual the old saw of correlation <> causation and proving causation will need many more stats and postulates for the mechanism. The same holds for heart disease but that emerged about 10 years ago and afaik the causation theories are still unproven, but more likely.February 3, 2019 at 4:56 pm #30390
I have just 22 very crooked, worn teeth left. I have not been able to visit my dentist for some time due to more pressing medical concerns, but I went last week for my 6-monthly check. The Polish dentist who has looked at my chewing tackle for the last 8 years recommended an x ray and I agreed. He gave me a clean bill of health, no problems except the wear and crooked line up, but released me for another 6 months unless problems arise. He also commented that the half-broken front incisor he filled 3 years ago, and its loose companion, were no worse than they had ever been.
This dentist told me when I first went to his practice, that some British dentists were too keen to "excavate and remove" teeth which could be treated and kept. He always says that even my crooked chompers are perfectly capable of lasting long enough to "give you a smile in your casket." What a nice man. I think…
The X ray cost £22, a small price to pay for knowing they will stay firm and enable me to remain a carnivore.

My then dentist was banging the drum that dental care reduces heart problems a good deal longer ago than 10 years, nearer 20. While he is still within the same practice he took his services private and has a number of NHS dentists, several were Jewish who came and went on to further their studies, but the one I now have is a female Asian. All have stressed the need to restrict the build up of plaque as far as possible to maintain general as well as dental health. Bob, I agree with the analysis of that Polish dentist there have been some shocking cases of money making by dentists, though the fashion for such as veneers has helped the venial rob the gullible.February 3, 2019 at 5:35 pm #30392ParticipantWheels-Of-Fire@grahamdearsleyForumite Points: 5,790
You have an NHS dentist ? How did you wangle that ? My guess would bribery or someone on the inside ?
My dentist of 35 years, Dr Gradus, retired 3 years ago and I have been without one ever since.
The NHS helpline gave me a list of 5 dentists, 4 of them don't take NHS patients and the fifth is no longer in buisness.February 3, 2019 at 6:00 pm #30394
I signed up in about 1992~3 and have been with the same practice ever since – just not the same dentist. My wife and I are scheduled for a check up this week, the kids are still registered there as well though we might/will face a few logistical issues with one of them. We heard that some had problems but the village has at least two dental practices with 200 yards of each other.February 3, 2019 at 6:25 pm #30396ParticipantD-Dan@d-danForumite Points: 2,592

NHS dental care? Is that still a thing?
Certainly is here, 2 NHS practices in Louth alone. When I first found the practice I use now, my dentist was an Iraqi. Between first and second visits, he went from just a few words of English and using the assistant as an interpreter, to speaking very good English. When I complemented him, he said that he had been studying all year, sincerely wanted to be British and have British-born children. I still see him now and again in the area: has his own private practice, has 3 lovely British kids and always acknowledges me.

The last time I broke a tooth, on some unpopped pop corn, I went to my mothers garage and used some pliers to remove the offending gnasher. It was no fun but I despise people messing with my teeth or eyes.February 3, 2019 at 10:03 pm #30406
PM, thank god I did not have that attitude, the cataract operation on my eyes has been magical. I can drive and day or night I can see anything from about 30 inches to nearly infinity and colours have a sharpness I did not know I had lost. For closer work I do use reading glasses.
As for teeth, I admit I did neglect them for about 20 years but more or less got away with that though I have had a few issues. Impacted wisdom teeth were a real issue and required a fairly major lights out operation to dig them out of their hiding place where they were starting to cause real issues. However I still have my knashers and they work just fine for their intended function.February 4, 2019 at 8:31 am #30409
You are right Richard it is probably too late for us old Pharts but dental care maybe something that younger ones should make a priority.February 4, 2019 at 10:27 am #30410ParticipantPlaneMan@planemanForumite Points: 6,970
I take care of my teeth, just hate anybody poking around in my mouth.

Depends what scares you most. Looking after teeth (i.e. caries) covers the heart disease aspect.
Having seen a number of friends turned into living aggressive vegetables, it is dementia/Altzheimers that scares the crap out of me, and it appears that gum disease and cold sores are two things to avoid. You cannot avoid eventual death, but the period before most affects the ones you leave behind, and dementia can be extremely cruel.February 4, 2019 at 12:26 pm #30413ParticipantWheels-Of-Fire@grahamdearsleyForumite Points: 5,790
You are right about it being difficult to separate cause and effect Ed. People who dont brush their teeth are unlikely to have the healthiest of lifestyles either ?February 4, 2019 at 1:17 pm #30416
@PM I can and do understand the reasons behind your personal concerns and accept that you must work with them to achieve what balance you can. I thought that eyes would be the most terrifying operation site, but they were not and it was all sorted in minutes. Perhaps if they were not done in general hospitals but in dedicated through put 'tunnels' the cancellation rate for operations might be lower and the satisfaction rates for those patients (and other operations suited to such a new way of thinking) would be far higher. As far as I can remember my eye surgeon did about 16 such operations on his 'operation day' each week.February 4, 2019 at 2:23 pm #30417ParticipantThe Duke@sgb101Forumite Points: 11,460
My wisdom teeth didn't decide to make a showing until I was 28, they are all now just about showing, and every 3 months or so, one will decide to grow a bit. It's been over a decade now, and the little shits have all taken out their next door next door neighbours..
One oth them put pressure on its neighbour that put pressure on the root of the tooth next to it and it cracked the root, think like a snapping a chickens wish bone.
So I went from a rairly decent full set to loosing 5 rear Teath in ten years. Still have the usless wisdom teeth, they won't take them out, but now there is nothing next to them, when they grow it no longer hurts.
You can't tell they arnt there, and the rest of me teeth are fine for my age. And are whiter than before the wisdom teeth, do to packing in the fags. And latley I've packed in the coffee. I never ment to, bit had a serious bug early in Jan, realised I'd not had a cup for 7 days so decided to carrying it on. I've had two cups since.
I was a 10 plus cups a day, so I've had to really up my Vimto intake, which I've found the hard to remember. So I make 8 bottles each morning and have them on my desk. It's quite hard to drink just 4 lires a day I've found. But feel better or it.
Ive also got the wife of coke (the drink), but had to by her a britta filer. Mainly cos the doc told her she was drinking to much of the stuff. I prefers Pepsi, as coke gives me heart burn.February 4, 2019 at 2:50 pm #30419ParticipantLes.@oldlesForumite Points: 1,729
Twice I wrote most of the following, and it disappeared. Probably my fault, so I will write in Writer, then copy. Hopefully.
Anyway, Bob, you have me beaten. I just have 16 left at a quick count.
Aged nine in 1951, I was sentenced to 6 months at his Maj's pleasure (Hospital, not the other place) as my doctor was instructed to examine me one Sunday by my mother. During that time, I had one (maybe two) extracted with gas. I managed to evade dentists until around 18 years when I had an abscess. At the second attempt, I found a dentist who proceeded to painfully pull two out. A year or so later, one Easter, another abscess saw me at the local hospital where a female dentist, Ceylonese I think, dug three out whilst I screamed with pain. By now my absolute fear of dentists was well established!
Another three years before the third attack, when an almost retired dentist managed to painlessly inject me, then noisily and crunchingly extract one or two, but like the injection, painlessly.
At 26 years, I attended the same practice for treatment, I think a repair to a front tooth, when I was asked had I ever had any of the following, including rheumatic fever. The reply had me told to go away, coe back nxt day after taking antibiotics. Working 40 miles distant, this was most inconvenient, so he agreed to send me out with a prescription and an instruction to go into town and eat a proper meal, as he could see my fear.
After that, I signed up for regular appointments and treatment as required, and after another 20 years or so, I had overcome the phobia.
My dentist here on the Isle of man gave up NHS about a dozen years ago, so I now pay through Denplan.
About three years ago, he stopped giving me antibiotics before treatment as it was now considered unnecessary, but I was to keep some at home just in case.
About two years ago, another abscess, but this time extraction was avoided. Similar treatment 50 or so years ago may have seen me ahead Bob.
Cheers, Les.February 4, 2019 at 6:52 pm #30421
You got me there Les!
I had a similar traumatic experience at a dentist clinic when young, having a cheek tooth extracted which was in so deep and took so long to remove that I wound up with a bruise to my chest where the dentist shoved his knee for purchase. There is still a lump of that tooth left on the inside of the gum, it broke into several pieces. Made me hate dental treatment for years. But the real damage was caused by Army
butchersdentists, not one of the 3 who treated me did so without pain and what I now consider may have been unnecessary extractions.
Nolan, as Richard says there are worse things to mess around with than your teeth and eyes. Having recently had Ultrasound and a camera inserted into my poor battered dingaling as a result of a bleeding, enlarged prostate, (for the 3rd time in 13 months) I can say that is undeniably true. The secondary procedure of a consultant's probing of the fundamental orifice, is also unpleasant and very painful. However, the eventual 'All Clear' verdict is fitting compensation!
Ed: having an 89 year old brother with Alzheimers which has become very severe dementia, I share your fear. My brother has total incontinence and does not recognise either his wife, 6 surviving children, or anyone else. Whilst I have faced some severe physical challenges, I am deathly afraid of anything similar. I believe my brother inherited some of our mother's mental problems: he has made some strange moves and questionable decisions in his life. In short, I would not trade all the pain and operations I have suffered over the years, for my brother's problem. The jokey, fun-loving person that was my brother no longer inhabits his mind and body: my greatest wish is that he will soon go to sleep and never wake again.

I'm out.February 5, 2019 at 12:52 am #30426ParticipantTippon@tipponForumite Points: 3,962
This dentist told me when I first went to his practice, that some British dentists were too keen to "excavate and remove" teeth which could be treated and kept.
I'll definitely agree with that. I didn't look after my teeth properly when I was younger, so about ten years or so ago I went to the dentist to get them sorted. I knew they were going to be fairly bad, but most of them were intact. I've now only got three teeth behind my incisors on the left hand side – one on the top and two on the bottom.
One of the bottom teeth was broken, but it was dead, so obviously not causing pain. It was partially hollowed and the piece touching the tooth in front had come away, leaving a U shape from above. I went in expecting this to be filled, and the dentist pulled both teeth. He told me that the 'good' tooth had been rotted away from the inside by the broken tooth. I had a similar problem with the tooth next to my incisor on the same side, as the incisor had been broken when I'd been assaulted (giving me the sort of story that would keep most people away from the dentist… ). The dentist pulled the remains of the incisor (which, again, I thought was ok), and the broken tooth next to it. My wisdom tooth had cracked, so I was sent to the hospital to have it pulled along with the remains of the others.
The dentist told me not to worry, as he had a plan to rebuild my mouth, probably using false teeth or some sort of plug. I can't remember the name of it, but it sounded similar to a crown. I had the teeth pulled and the follow up visits at the hospital, and was told to wait the usual six months for a checkup to make sure that everything had healed properly. I went back and the dentist had left the practice!February 5, 2019 at 10:45 am #30430
Tippon, that was a bad saga, though I am not sure where it has left you. My wife lost some teeth during a bicycle accident many years ago and we paid for a fixed plate to replace the lost teeth also many years ago. She was told it should last 25 years, but so far about 40 years later it has survived countless operations, chemo, and other intense pressures.
Though I neglected my oral situation for some years I escaped quite lightly. I did need one or two quite extensive fillings, only then to find much of one of the teeth then crumbled requiring a furthe intervention and a couple of painless root canal jobs but so far all are still present and correct though a couple have been painlessly capped.

Sweet style, yet lacking durability.
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I purchased this beanie in hopes of getting a bit more warmth and comfort out of the merino that I wasn't getting in the acrylic blend I'd been wearing for the last couple of winters. My initial impression was that the beanie fit a little tight - to be expected though, I've got a size 7 1/2 size hat size - and the coverage was a little less than what I was hoping for. Nonetheless, I gave it a go. After only a handful of wears I noticed the stitching began to frey and unravel. Worked through Filson to get a replacement. Hoping the second try will render better results.

My favorite beanie! The second you look at, and touch, this beanie, you can tell it's different from 95% of the beanies out there. Wool just has a different feel to it. It's a medium thickness and is very warm. It can be worn comfortably casually in not-so-cold temps, as I often do. I've worn mine a over 10x and a lot of those times have when I was too damn lazy to wash my greasy hair. And, can I just say, t's doing a fantastic job of stayin'' odor-free! I want it in every color! Recommended for sure.

Classic Warm Beanie
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Filson is extremely well made and you can sense that with the Beanie. 100% Wool keeps you warm and insulated. At first use it was tighter, but after a few days is a perfect fit for my larger head. It is a medium thickness, and feels durable. I've used it down in negative temperatures in Southern Utah winters, and on the windy washington coast. At times I would take it off because it would be so warm. I was surprised that a stylish beanie would also perform so well in the elements. With the beanie you can cuff it, or leave as is, and the logo remains the same either way. The only downside would be at first it is itchy on the forehead because of the wool, but I quickly became accustom to the feeling. Wonderful purchase, one of my favorite beanies.

Well made, stylish, warm and versatile -- as you'd expect from Filson. You can wear the hat cuffed up, or pull the cuff down for a more casual fit/look. Love this hat!

Not as big a cuff as shown
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I love this beanie. Wear it almost every day in the winter and hunting. However, if you're looking for a beanie with a larger cuff...this is not it. If you were to cuff the beanie like in the picture shown you'd only cover the tips of your ears. I don't think I have an overly large or tall head (7 3/8 fitted hat size) but I only get about an inch or inch and a half cuff out of it and the bottoms of my ears still stick out with the cap pulled down tight. Not annoying or bad, but worth mentioning.

The year was 1984, a lovely summer's day and I was sitting in the packed, buzzed audience waiting for Stephen King to appear. To say I was excited is an understatement. Uncool? Totally. I'd bought my hardcover copy of his book Different Seasons for him to sign. I wouldn't be denied. I had all his books in hardcover – Carrie, Cycle of the Werewolf, Danse Macabre, Salem's Lot – there would be many more to come. He was my hero in a time when I was already much too old to be star-struck. I've read that it is mainly teenagers who are addicted to Stephen King's work, and I was hardly that. Though probably immature. I'm at a much more more advanced age now and that hasn't changed, and I hope it never does. Stephen King was the Elvis Presley of the literary world.
I hadn't had a novel published yet; that was still a dream, floating somewhere above the horizon. But I'd written and published some articles and short stories, enough to make me eligible for a travel grant through the NB Arts Council to London, England to the writers workshop at Polytechnic Institution on Marylebone Road, aptly across the street from Madam Tussauds wax museum. Stephen King would be a panelist, along with authors P.D. James, Robert Parker and some others. I was eager to hear all the celebrated authors, but I'd flown all this way from New Brunswick, Canada to see and hear Mr. King.
He came into the large room through the back door and I swear I knew the instant he did. You couldn't miss the rising buzz of the audience, of course, the shifting of bodies as people turned to look, but I also felt the change of energy in the air. On stage, Stephen King joked about his 'big writing engine' and I had heard (within my third eye – yes, it can hear) its power, its purr. Or maybe there's more to it.
As he talked to us about writing, he spoke about seeing with that third eye. The eye of the imagination. He told us to imagine a chair. Then he said it was a blue chair. I saw it clearer now. He added the detail of a paint blister on the leg of the chair. Now I saw it close up, with my zoom lens. We hung on his every word. He was funny and brilliant and entertaining, and we learned. Everything he said was not necessarily something brand new, but were reminders to pay close attention to details. To always tell the truth in our writing. I even got to ask a couple of questions. And his answers to all our questions were thoughtful and insightful. I try to pass along a few of those lessons to my own students.
Stephen King has been teaching creative writing to aspiring and even established writers for decades, long before his wonderful book On Writing came out. Such a gift to writers that is, regardless of the genre you write in. I am gushing. I don't mind. It's true.
I have been fortunate to have had many highlights in my life – an anniversary trip to Niagara Falls with my wonderful husband, the births of my children and grandchildren, great-grandchildren – a trip to the Bahamas with my eldest son – my own first novel published and several more after that – and I have to say that that workshop in London, England, where Stephen King spoke to us about writing, is right up there. Thank you, Mr. King.
I want to leave you with a quote from an interview with contributing writing for the Atlantic, Jessica Lahey, published in The Atlantic, Sept 2014. She asked him if teaching was craft or art.
"It's both," he said. "The best teachers are artists.
Stephen King is an artist on every level. He tells the truth. In his fiction. And in his teachings.
In addition to her critically acclaimed novels, Joan Hall Hovey's articles and short stories have appeared in such diverse publications as The Toronto Star, Atlantic Advocate, Seek, Home Life Magazine, Mystery Scene, The New Brunswick Reader, Fredericton Gleaner, New Freeman and Kings County Record. Her short story Dark Reunion was selected for the anthology investigating Women, Published by Simon & Pierre.
Ms. Hovey has held workshops and given talks at various schools and libraries in her area, including New Brunswick Community College, and taught a course in creative writing at the University of New Brunswick. For a number of years, she has been a tutor with Winghill School, a distance education school in Ottawa for aspiring writers. She is a member of the Writer's Federation of New Brunswick, past regional Vice-President of Crime Writers of Canada and International Thriller Writers.

|Official Title
|Evaluation of the French Version of Screening Questionnaires for Autism and Asperger Syndrome : Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) Empathy Quotient (EQ) and Systemizing Quotient (SQ)
|Brief Summary
Autism is considered as an invading disorder of the development. Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a particular form of autism and is difficult to diagnose. The Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) has been developed in order to measure the degree of autistic traits in autistic adolescent with normal intelligence (Baron-Cohen et al. 2001, 2006). AQ comprises 50 questions, with 5 groups of 10 questions assessing imagination, social skills, attention switching, attention to detail and communication skills. Each of these items scores 1 point if the respondent records abnormal or autistic like behaviour. The minimum score on the AQ is 0 and the maximum 50.
The principal objective of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the French version of Autism Spectrum Quotient questionnaire.
Secondary objectives are to:
Evaluate if EQ and SQ can distinguish adolescents without psychiatric syndromes from those with classical autism or AS.
Evaluate if AQ, EQ and SQ can distinguish adolescents with psychiatric disorders from autistic adolescents.
Define the threshold of positivity for the 3 questionnaires.
|Detailed Description
4 groups of participants will be screened with the questionnaires: Group 1: 50 adolescents with AS or high functioning autism (HFS) diagnosed by psychiatrists using established criteria and with an IQ >85.
Group 2: 50 adolescents with AS or classical autism diagnosed by psychiatrists using established criteria 70<IQ<84.
Group 3: 50 adolescents with psychiatric disorders. Group 4: Sample of 50 healthy adolescents selected randomly from 200. The questionnaires are given to the parents of adolescents during the first meeting. Parents are invited to send them back to the clinical investigation centre of Lyon (France).

theEvents: @OCFashionWeek with Godana Goga Gehlhausen @goga6945 @michealcostello
Written by Alex LaFosta

Photos and Video by Charles Fuoco
It was truly a joyous occasion. One cannot help but feel inspired entering an environment like the one Saturday night July 21st in Costa Mesa, CA at the Legendary Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. The night was all a part of the Orange County Fashion Week℠ Emerge –Experience – Expose: A series of events focused on discovering and showcasing new talent from Orange County and Los Angeles County fashion design schools. Each of the artists participating is competing for a chance to have their debut collection at the following Orange County Fashion Week shows and a summer internship with world famous designer Gordana Goga Gehlhausen from season 6 of Project Runway and all stars.
The event was teeming with creative energy and why expect any less at an event hosted in a place named for the infamous animator/director, Chuck Jones. You can almost feel the creative energy coursing through the halls as prints, photos, drawings and paintings by Chuck Jones were displayed throughout the center. Kathleen Doonan-Largent, one of the judges for the fashion event, displaying her KD Luxe jewelry collections with EFX technology.
We had an opportunity to catch up with Armilyn Nix, Public Relations of the OC Fashion Association, who was kind enough to give us a tour of the prestigious Chuck Jones Center where we ran into two of the judges for the event: Michael Costello, a very cheerful demeanor he seemed jubilant when talking about the event, mentioning that he always relishes seeing work from new artists. Stating because they tend to bring "something fresh to the table." Considering that at age fifteen, he opened his own boutique in Palms, CA, it is a small wonder why he holds the work and drive of young artists in such high regard. He said that he was looking for an artist that "pushes the envelope."
Gordana Goga Gehlhausen, was looking for something different. She was basing her judgment of the artists on the "sellability" of each collection. Though the event is about the showcase of art, Gordana will be hiring the winner of the competition, so the ability of a designer to catch the eye of the consumer is paramount.
The designer collection to grace the stage included students Angela Wu, Adriana Diaz, Brenda Gonzalez, Michelle Parsadayan & Raquel van Daalen Wetters, Kimberly Luu, Christy Pham, and Rosangela DaSilva.
After all of the graduate designer's concluded showing off their amazing designs, it was time for the point of every competition: The announcement of the winners! After a preview of student-based web series called "Dark Prophet" that gave the judges a moment to decide on a winner, the MC rightfully announced Angela Wu as the winner. Brenda Gonzalez placed second and Kimberly Luu came in third.
