You're missing a single tooth. Until recently your only options were limited: a fixed bridge or a removable partial denture -- which meant removing enamel from adjoining teeth. It was a very short list.
Thanks to modern dentistry techniques, single tooth implants are now a good alternative. Although most patients use tooth implants to replace an ill-fitting denture, or to bridge a large gap of several missing teeth, it's now possible for you to have a single tooth replacement.
You're a good candidate for single tooth implants if you are in good health and the jawbone where the tooth implant will be fitted has not receded. You have to be of age, since your facial growth must be complete.
There are many advantages to this procedure. Single tooth implants are strong. Unlike dentures, they require less care. And the implants look and feel natural. So instead of being embarrassed by a missing tooth, you'll have something to smile about.
When the concept of dental implants and the mechanisms in which they work were introduced to mainstream dentistry during the late 1970's, the advent of dental implants opened up an excitingly new chapter in dentistry.
Through the 1980's, the news of the successful procedure of dental implant surgery spread at an explosive rate. It took approximately ten years of repeated long-term success for the procedure to gain validity.
By the early 1990's dentists readily accepted implant dentistry as an adequate and routine substitute for missing teeth in all areas of the mouth.
Restoring dental implants has undergone a paradigm shift from simply validating that dental implants work to recreating missing teeth with a chameleon-like effect. Even though implants can be restored with a very high degree of success, one of the most difficult and critical areas in the mouth to achieve great esthetic results is in the upper front jaw -- specifically when replacing a single upper central incisor tooth.
Single-tooth implant dentistry present dentists with unique challenges. When a single central incisor tooth is removed due to periodontal disease, tooth decay, trauma, or nerve failure, the body responds by shrinking the bone and gum tissue in place of the missing tooth. The body no longer needs the supporting bone structure; therefore, the bone is decreased and the gum tissue shrinks because of bone resorption.
In order to achieve a natural appearance to the final restoration, restorative dentists must attempt to replace what nature he as taken away. An unnatural appearance will be the result if the tooth is replaced without considering augmenting or "plumping up" the support structures. It would be like placing a great painting in the wrong frame, thus having a diminished outcome.
Certain steps are necessary to achieve a successful outcome, especially in the most demanding implant cases, like replacing a single upper front tooth. Before the decision to place an implant is made, patients should know the sequential steps.
The process starts with a thorough exam. Clinically, dentists should examine the affected area and the entire mouth. A comprehensive exam of the bone and soft tissues must be performed along with taking specific X-rays and possibly detailed bone scans to identify any potential complications.
An analysis of your smile should also be performed. Do your teeth and gums show when you smile? Does your upper lip drape over your teeth? If the patient has a high lip line that shows teeth and gums, the need for bone and soft tissue grafting may be necessary.
By discussing several of the aspects necessary for implant treatment, you can be more aware of the possibilities, as well as the limitations, associated with implant dentistry. Armed with various soft and hard tissue grafting techniques, ceramic material advancements, and better dental implant components, dentists are able to satisfy even the most esthetically-minded patients.

|Artist Jimmy Talarico
I'm excited to share that I was asked to submit a talk of mine about artists and empathy for consideration for SXSW 2020! If you feel so inclined, I would appreciate your support. Speaker applications are weighted based on public votes. Please click the link below and vote! Thank you!
The Harris Piece
Excited to have shipped our latest commissioned piece going to Boise, Idaho. Jordan and Makala, thank you so much for the privilege of creating this piece for you. We hope it becomes a legacy heirloom for your family as you continue to expand your story.
We want to stake so much of our lives or beliefs on absolute truths. But we don't understand truth absolutely.
Think about an aspen tree. If never seen outside of summer, we would describe its leaves as green and would swear to death that was the truth of an aspen tree. But if observed any other time of year, we could describe the same leaves as a vibrant golden in autumn, or nonexistent if only seen in winter. All of these examples are truth about an aspen tree, but none of them are absolute. The truth of the aspen tree will always be limited by man's perception of it. Funny how our perspective is the limit to our knowledge. It's almost like we need the perspectives of others to give us a more complete understanding of truth. Like it requires relationships and empathy.
190711 - Near symmetry
All things are influenced by some thing. The near-symmetry of nature. Consider a stalk of wheat. The seeds have a pattern and we want to rationalize that the pattern is symmetrical. This is how FL Wright would design, imposing symmetry on the near-symmetrical. But measure the seeds and we'll most likely find that their distances apart all vary. This is due to the plants response to things that promote life or deplete life. Sun, water, nutrients, seasons... There are no closed systems and all things are influenced by some thing. Including me. And including you.
And for Saturday?...
Another show! Saturday is the opening reception for the Art Across Montana juried show in Miles City, Montana. I've never been to Miles City, but I'm looking forward to the adventure. We are making it a family trip and I'm looking forward to the 4 hour drive (yes, in Montana you can drive for 4 hours and still be in the same state, not even halfway through actually!) And in case you'd like a reminder, these are my two pieces that were selected for the show.
A Showing...
I was asked to show my work this Friday night at the Livingston Art Walk. My pieces will be at 121 S. Main St so come on by if you're in the area... and tell your friends!
I will be presenting never-before-seen-in-public work, "Exposure & Vulnerability" and "Truth & Perception" amongst others.
This show will feature a handful of artists from within CTA Architects Engineers. Come see what happens when technical designers embrace art as a tool for expression.
A different kind of art...
I had a client for my day job who asked if I could design a replica schoolhouse that would look like its 100 years old to house a sculpture by an amazing artist (who needs to remain anonymousl for the time being). I said yes.
I collaborated with a friend in our office who is also a contractor, Max Anthon with JXM Design & Associates, and this is where we ended up. He has two more weeks to go but is doing an AWESOME job.
Can't wait to see this space filled with a sculpture made from woven willows. It will be beautiful. Oh, and I was interviewed on site today for a documentary they are filming of the process. The owner's rep really likes my art and asked me to talk about how the concepts I explore with my pieces helped in designing this project. So that was amazing. This schoolhouse is for the Tippet Rise Art Center located near Fishtail, MT.
First Juried Show!
Just found out I had two of my pieces juried into the WaterWorks Art Gallery Art Across Montana show in Miles City, Montana! This was my first time entering a juried show so I couldn't be more excited for the results.
For those who may not know, for juried shows an outside juror is selected to review all submitted work and to pick the best work that will be on display for the length of the show. This show will have "Best of" awards announced at the opening reception on June 27th. A truly exciting honor. Now on to the next one...
A Mother's Memory of Her Mother
Doilies and seashells. That's what I was asked to use. The doilies to reflect how prim and proper Carol was, always with her hair done and jewelry on. The seashells to reflect her home state of Florida, and a life of comfort she left to begin a new life with her husband in rugged Montana.
I have been thinking about how I 'went public' with my art after I created For Helen, my first ash, wax, and flower piece. It was for my mother in honor of her mother. And now I have For Carol created for my mother-in-law in honor of her mother. I had a good relationship with Grandma Carol. We enjoyed teasing each other. And all though I know she'd be quick to point out areas of this piece that could have been improved, I hope she would have appreciated it. I was honored to be asked to make this in her memory. Carol, you are missed.
Introducing Truth and Perception
What happens at the intersection of Truth and Perception? Where our constants are questioned and our ideals lose grounding? It can be uncomfortable and thrilling if we are open to the answer.
I wrapped this one up last night. Not sure if I want to add any subtle accents yet so I'll let it hang for a day or two to feel it out.
I'm really happy with the colors, especially the patina on the copper. This had quite a few experimental elements and was a rewarding experience.
Jimmy & Melinda Talarico
From here you can read our opinions on our industry, updates on our work, and pretty much anything else we'd like to discuss. Dialog is appreciated so please comment!

(Inside: Why your exhaustion from motherhood is stunningly beautiful.)
I could feel the dark circles around my eyes and I hadn't even looked in the mirror yet. I woke up tired because the night before, I'd partied like it was 1999.
Doing laundry.
I executed my brilliant idea of putting the clothes through the machines then mass piling them in a tangled heap on my bed to fold and hang later. The original laundry mountain happened two days before. I'd already moved Mt. Everest to the floor once, deemed it invisible and in complete denial climbed into bed. So last night, I had to face my demons. And truth: Fairy Godmothers are NOT real. They don't clean your home and magic wand together a pretty dress – that you'll need to iron yourself. (Also, to be noted: I like to recycle this lesson. More fun not to learn it the first time.)
So, I overslept and sacrificed my early morning refueling, alone time. I packed my kids' lunches, addressed boxes to be mailed, dropped my kids off at school only to realize my oldest son was supposed to have arrived early and I forgot. (Ugh.) Then, after working all day, I picked up my three boys from school, ran to the bank, then to the store…and so on. You get it. You've been there, too.
At the last errand of my forever day, I waited at the gym for my son to finish basketball. I opened social media and saw a quote posted by a friend:
"There is something so holy in that moment when you fall into bed after serving your family, after working to support your family… just totally spent, poured out for others. What I like to call 'beautifully exhausted.' You have unselfishly fulfilled your God-given role and calling for that day, as your act of worship toward the One who created the uniquely gifted you. In that moment when you close your eyes, 'beautifully exhausted,' know that God sees you as altogether, wonderfully, entirely and only beautiful." (Author Unknown)
Fresh air blew through my mind as I soaked in the encouragement.
Finally, my son emerged his basketball tucked under one arm, swinging his water bottle with the other. We headed home to the bedtime routine. With the last tuck-in, a stillness fell over our home.
Which meant I finally had a chance to hang out alone with my husband. To unpack my thoughts, watch mindless television or read from the pile of books I'm always halfway through.
What all moms need was so close…
Time to refuel was almost at my fingertips…
Our kindergartner shakily called for me, "Mom, what do you do when you can't get bad thoughts out of your head?"
My sweet boy was convinced a crocodile was going to crawl into his bed and eat him.
"Son, we don't live near crocodiles."
Fearful eyes looked back at me. We peered out the window at the snowy tundra, but I still couldn't convince him even if a lone crocodile made it north, it would freeze. So we snapped on the light and pulled out some books. I snuggled him close and read. And read. With each turn of the page, we pushed his scary thoughts further away. Then I kissed his sleepy head, tucked the soft covers around him, and whispered a prayer for fear to leave my precious boy alone.
My evening me-time slipped through my fingers. Finally, I crawled into bed on my very last fumes. Completely exhausted.
…BEAUTIFULLY exhausted.

The Best Sporting Moments Happen Off The Field
AFL great Neale Daniher is facing his toughest-ever adversary, and Australians are heeding the battle call.
"I'm realistic. This will probably be my last opportunity to talk," Neale Daniher said this week.
"Next year, if I'm alive, I'll be grunting, trying to grunt funny jokes," he told AFL 360.
But as always, the AFL champion, husband, father and motor neuron disease sufferer and fighter is selflessly and fearlessly staring down the face of adversity with his trademark philosophy: "Just play on."
When Melbourne and Collingwood meet in the AFL's traditional Queen's Birthday clash at the MCG later today, a crowd of more than 80,000 will come together to cheer a hero.
But it won't be big-marking Magpie Jeremy Howe, Demons goal kicker Jesse Hogan or the other 42 players who will take the field.
Yet he is courageous, much-loved and will receive the applause of every member of the crowd, regardless of the colour of their guernsey.
The Big Freeze at the 'G fundraiser, in its fourth year, is former Essendon footballer and Melbourne coach Daniher's day.
Each year, celebrities and sportspeople don fun costumes and make their way down a slide into an ice pool to raise awareness and crucial funds for the insidious disease, which slowly paralyses the human body, with no cure.
In an incredible show of support, all 18 AFL coaches will participate in the slide on Monday.
Last year $4.6 million was raised. This year, the federal government will match donations dollar-for-dollar with the money going towards new clinical trials.
Neale, 57, was diagnosed in 2014 and with the love and support of his incredible family -- wife Jan and children Bec, Lauren, Ben and Luke -- has since dedicated his life to educating Australians about the terminal illness and fundraising for Fight MND.
His selfless work surpasses his achievements on the field as a player and in the coaches' box over the course of 305 matches.
In March, I had the great honour of being asked to host the inaugural ladies lunch for Fight MND.
Neale was guest speaker. I'd never met him before but we were introduced in the green room beforehand and he was warm, made sure I was ready and comfortable and thanked me for giving up my time to MC the function. It was the very least I could do.
I introduced Neale on to the stage and the room sat in complete silence watching a video then listening to him speak, hanging on every word. It was clearly taxing on him, physically and mentally, but he delivered a wonderful speech, moved the huge crowd and did what he always does, made everyone smile, laugh and feel better.
Neale appeared on television on Wednesday night and among his usual infectious positivity and great sense of humour was his heartbreaking reality.
"MND is a progressive disease, it takes things from you. All the things you love," he told AFL 360.
"I love to run, I love to play golf, I love to play tennis. You can't do that. You can't drive, I can't dress myself, I'm struggling to talk.
"But there's one thing it can't take from me. MND takes everything from you except your last great freedom; and that's your right to choose your attitude.
"You choose your own way and my attitude is don't give up, don't give in. It can't take that from you."
Well over 80,000 of the trademark blue MND beanies have already been sold this year with more available at the ground on game day which will sell quicker than hotcakes. Australians continue to donate generously all year round. This morning I heard a father ring talkback radio to say his four-year-old son wanted to set up a lemonade stand to raise money for Neale.
It's truly special stuff and a reminder of how sport, a critical fabric of Australian society, brings people together, supports and lifts its own and wraps them in love.
We so often hear stories about sportspeople or fans behaving badly but this really is a tale worthy of all the headlines for all the right reasons.
And the best headline is yet to come: "Neale Daniher, 2019 Australian of the year."

Kendrick Lamar Planning 'Awesome' Black Lives Matter Performance At Grammys
Get ready Kendrick Lamar fans — the rapper's performance at the 2016 Grammy Awards is going to be BIG. Beyond just singing one of his songs, Kendrick is planning a special tribute to Black Lives Matter at the show, HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned. Get the scoop here!
Kendrick Lamar, 28, is putting a WHOLE lot of thought into his Grammy Awards performance, and he's using his major platform to honor a cause that hits close to home for him. Get ready for Kendrick to put on one epic show, but also keep an eye out for the references to the Black Lives Matter movement during his performance.
"He's doing a crazy, awesome sort of Black Lives Matter-themed performance where he's in a jail cell for part of it," an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "It's very elaborate and should have people talking." We can imagine a ton of creativity went into this one, and we can't see what happens during the show on Feb. 15.
Besides just taking the stage to sing, it's likely the 28-year-old will be up at the podium on multiple other occasions — he's nominated for a whopping 11 awards, more than anyone else by a landslide, and we'll be shocked if he doesn't take home at least one. This has clearly been a huge year for Kendrick, and we can't wait to see it pay off for him on music's biggest night!
Kendrick paying tribute to Black Lives Matter comes on the heels of Beyonce's epic Super Bowl performance, for which she was widely regarded, but also criticized, for supporting the movement against violence against black people. While many praised her for the rendition of her new song "Formation," some, like Rudy Giuliani, were of the opinion that a football game was no place for her to make a political statement. Let's see if Kendrick gets the same responses from haters…
Are you excited to see Kendrick's performance, HollywoodLifers!?

Best Athlete's Foot Natural Remedy
Do You Want to Get Rid of
Your Athletes Foot Infection IN UNDER
A WEEK – Without Drugs?
Best Athlete's Foot Natural Remedy
Now you can finally get rid of your painful and unsightly Athletes foot infection – QUICKLY and NATURALLY – making your life much more livable – and much more enjoyable.
Doctors say that there is no real 'cure' for Athletes foot. They say you just have good days and bad days.
(Their toxic drugs will knock your immune system out!) But what if you could have good days, very good days and even fantastic days? You would love that – wouldn't you?
Of course you would!
Now you really can get rid of your Athletes foot for good.
But hey – don't believe me… because you can check it out for yourself…
|From: Emma Williams
Well, the scientific community has finally started to wake up.
Took em long enough. I mean, you can only waste your time on projects like landing men on mars and baldness for so long, before you have to pay attention to something really serious, like finding a cure for Athletes Foot.
Best Athlete's Foot Natural Remedy
Here's what it's all about: Joe Johnson, Health Practitioner, Herbalist, father of 4 – has been doggedly helping people with natural remedies for over twenty years. His desire to help and heal people has meant that every few years, he has literally taken off around the world – seeking out new herbs, new remedies – herbs will actually heal people. I have listened to his amazing adventures – (that's why I call him Indiana Jones) – but I have also been awe struck by the remedies that he has discovered.
When Joe's sister, Jennifer, was first struck with Athletes foot, Joe got involved in research to make things easier for his sister, but he knew the solution was going to be hard to find.
- Doctors say there is only one type of Athletes foot and it is caused by a fungus growing on your feet and between your toes. So any treatment would simply need to kill the parasite. This ignores the fact that a healthy person is covered in fungus – and yet they do not have Athletes foot.
- So – Athletes foot is a symptom of a weak immune system – therefore any effective treatment for Athletes foot would not only need to kill the fungus on the feet – but also stimulate the immune system.
- This would ensure that the fungus is less likely to return.
- So Joe set out to make a remedy which killed any parasite – and stimulated the body's own healing mechanisms – to rebalance itself.
Joe was an experienced herbalist and researcher and he knew that safe and effective remedies for Athletes foot had eluded him for years.
|He knew that tea tree helped in the short term – but can cause problems long term.
|He knew that figwort was ok, though not always effective.
|He knew that nettle, whilst helping to relieve the inflammation of the sores – it did little to kill off any fungus.
So, with all that in mind, Joe began his research to help his sister's Athletes foot problem – he simply wanted her free from Athletes foot as soon as possible.
Joe had felt bad about Jennifer's worsening Athletes foot problem – but he knew that whilst most Athletes foot drug treatments from the Doctor were dangerous – even toxic – he also knew that
Most Athlete's Foot Natural Remedy Herbal Remedies for Athletes Foot Problems
Simply Did Nothing Much At All
They did little to reduce the underlying cause of the Athletes foot – and nothing when it came to reducing the stress and anxiety caused by the ailment.
After Only 7 Weeks Research He Dramatically Made a Breakthrough That Quickly Stopped His Sisters Athletes Foot.
A Unique Blend of Natural Herbs & Homeopathy That Has Been
Ignored by the Medical Community for Over 100
Years – Until Now!
The remedy that Joe has discovered is so powerful that people who use it – young and old – say they can actually feel their Athletes foot 'begin to shrink' – that they experience noticeably less soreness – even after just a few times of using it. This brilliant new breakthrough by this 'herbalist geek' – reveals a breathtakingly simple and superfast way for you to instantly reduce Athletes foot!
And I have got to tell you – you will be astonished and overjoyed at what 'Joe' has discovered. Because if you are suffering from Athletes foot – or whatever fancy name they are calling your fungal problem – it simply means that you can now get rid of the Athletes foot – with no drugs – without even trying.
In fact… you simply massage this concentrated CLEAR blend of four organic plant extracts onto your Athletes foot – (unlike other chemical treatments – you will have NO white cream all over your skin) and your Athletes foot will begin to go away – naturally and immediately.
Quite simply – these plant extracts will kill most parasites which may be responsible for your Athletes foot – which means that the Athletes foot will go away!
It will stimulate your own immune system into action – to rebalance your skin – so this will reduce the possibility of the condition coming back.

Voted #1 Best Athlete's Foot Natural Remedy
You Now Have the POWER
to EASILY Get Rid of Your Athletes Foot!
(This power is a simple, easy and PROVEN remedy. And it doesn't matter how long you have had your Athletes foot problem. This remedy works, and it will work on both young and old – male or female. That's the beauty of this new discovery!)
Here is what Joe Johnson says about Athletes foot problems:
|"I had looked for an herbal treatment for Athletes foot for years – with little success. It was only when my sister started having skin and Athletes foot problems – that I decided to put all my research time into finding something that would help her get rid of the rashes once and for all.
The problem with Athletes Foot is that it is not just about ugly fungal growths on your feet. It is about so much more.
It is about HEALING. You can lose your confidence – after all- if you can't rely on your skin – what can you rely on?
Joe Johnson
#1 Best Athlete's Foot Natural Remedy
If you don't feel right – the mind and emotions kick in. Your relationships can suffer – as you have to focus inwards and devote more of your attention to your body.Your friendships suffer, your social life suffers, your sex life suffers, you lose your libido – whatever your symptoms – on top of the Athletes foot – you are at risk of suffering from stress and even depression.
If you use anti-fungal creams to reduce the sores (anti-fungal creams are very powerful, very strong chemicals)– you have to be careful – because the whole of your immune system will now be shocked and weakened further by the powerful drugs.
These drugs may appear to work for a week or two – then your Athletes foot come back – often worse than ever before!
I have seen so many people lose their general health and quality of life with Athletes foot problems.
Sitting with Jennifer, I began to appreciate the misery, the fear, the impact on her life that Athletes foot can cause. That was why I did my research.
Drug Companies Do Not Want You to See This
Best Athlete's Foot Natural Remedy
You see, people with athletes foot have been around for tens of thousands of years – drug companies have been around about 100 years – and they don't want you to know what your ancestors knew – so my first step is always to go back into history.
After a lot of reading – (and I don't mean the usual herbal books – I mean the books that are mostly kept hidden away by rich collectors, private libraries, specialist reference libraries) – or books that 'science' believes are not worth looking at – books written by people who have zero qualifications – but who lived in the wilds of nature – all their lives – and who have had remedies past down from one generation to the next…
I came across one such remedy for athletes foot or 'rash of the arm' – in a ramshackle bookshop that lay just behind the harbour in the port of Antibes, in southern France. The book was over 200 years old. My French isn't that good, but fortunately, most botanical books are written in Latin. And whilst my Latin is poor, I knew enough to recognize the plants names.
But I was puzzled.
There were several interesting remedies in that book, but this one remedy stood out. The remedy I found was for 'rash of the arm', yet the plants I read about, I had never considered for use for athletes foot problems….
I took note of the types of plants used, where they are best found, the ratio of mixture, the preparation and anything else I could think of that might help me to make this remedy. At the time, I placed little hope on this remedy – after all, it didn't make sense – least not to the understanding I had back then.
A week later I was back home, working at my bench. I only had tiny amounts of the exact plant extracts – (new supplies, if needed, would need to come from the Middle East) – but I had enough to test if the remedy worked or not.
I mixed, blended and prepared the herbal extracts. It looked like a clear liquid, and it smelled very subtle, like a finely fragrant spice or flower. I mixed just a small amount – just a few fluid ounces – enough to try on my sister, Jennifer. I took it round to her home.
She was sat watching the TV , looking forlorn, with two great patches of athletes foot on her upper arms, covered in a white paste which was the only rash medication that she had.
I quickly explained what I had and in no time at all, she was telling me to 'hurry up'. She massaged a few drops of the remedy onto the swollen red athletes foot.
The oily drops spread easily and evenly across her skin. The silky liquid was quickly absorbed. We looked at each other – our eyes said it all – I guess we would have to wait and see.
This 'Trick' From an Old Irish Healer Greatly Speeds
So you can see, Joe Johnson really did figure it out.
You are not going to see this remedy used or even talked about in your Doctors surgery. After all, drugs and paraphernalia for Athletes foot is a multi-billion dollar industry – they are not going to make room for a simple and safe herbal remedy that will reduce your Athletes foot- and improve your healing – and make your life easier – are they?
The implications of this remedy really scares the pants off most Doctors and drug companies – because it means that you can now treat your own Athletes foot problems yourself– without relying on their expensive and often ineffective 'expertise'.
Athletes foot Doctor will quickly reduce your Athletes foot and get your old smile back on your face again – fast.
It is this simple.
You can now naturally and dramatically stop your Athletes foot – without drugs.
Simply massage a few drops of the remedy onto wherever the Athletes foot is on your feet – three times a day and once at bedtime.
It is that easy.
Skip months or even years of expensive and wasteful visits to the Doctor. (In just two minutes, massaging these highly concentrated herbal extracts onto your Athletes foot and between your toes- you will begin to heal with confidence and ease)
Move like Lighting through the 3 Stages of

(Your skin will be clear before you know it.)

Typical Drugs that are used for treating Athletes foot will weaken your whole immune system; often causing you to feel drained, exhausted and can even hospitalize you.

When it comes to running, it's not just about getting advice from more experienced runners, but also about getting the right advice for the right task. And if your goal is to push the limits of your body's endurance and strength, then we have just the right person to lend you some words of inspiration and motivation.
Girish Mallya is a running expert for Puma in India, and also a FirstRun Ambassador. Aside from being a running enthusiast, Girish works in publishing; he is the editor and publisher of Popular Science India. FirstRun caught up with him to understand more about his running etiquette, and how he prepares for long endurance runs. Having run several ultramarathons around the globe, Girish is in the best place to give a few tips to novice ultramarathon runners.
When did you run your first marathon?
My first race ever was the full marathon, in the first edition of the Mumbai Marathon in 2004.
What about your first ultramarathon? Which year was that and how many ultras have you run?
My first ultra was again the first edition of Bangalore Ultra, a 78km race, the maximum distance back then. So far I have run about 5 ultras and have now moved on to multi-stage self-sustaining ultras and adventure (read: exotic) marathons, as it has never been about speed for me. It's always about pushing your body to its endurance limits
Do you follow certain eating habits throughout the year or do you tweak your diet just for your marathons?
I believe in lifestyle changes, not situation or event-based changes. I am not a foodie and have no special craving for any particular kind of food, I just listen to my body and eat accordingly. I don't binge on anything; neither do I deprive myself of anything. I believe in eating a good old balanced diet.
Only special training I have done with respect to food is to train my body to accept food and fluids before and during a run with relative ease.
I don't believe in artificial food supplements (especially protein). Off late I am trying to be off electrolytes for 1-1.5hr runs, I hope to get to a level of doing half marathons on just water, irrespective of weather conditions. I try to stay as natural and organic as possible, so no packaged granola bars, gels or processed food during a run. I prefer my dates, raisins, mixed nuts, homemade granola etc. for races.
Tell us about the Marathon Des Sables. On a scale of 1-10 in terms of difficulty, what would you give that run?
Hmmm…this is a complicated question to answer and one I can go on about it in different ways and perspectives. Ok, let me give you an idea.
MDS was less about running and endurance, and more about human spirit and utopia (as the world I would love to see). I saw and experienced so many things for the first time in my life, will share a few here. I experienced absolute equality, your race, gender, ability/disability, age, nationality didn't matter. You were at par with a 20-year-old or a 78-year-old, with a blind runner or a blade-runner. And the bond and willingness to help and support fellow runners was unmatched, almost like the support and bond one develops with absolute strangers when coping with a natural or man-made disaster.
The fact that it is arguably one of the toughest races in the world and that I was the first Indian national to have successfully completed it, seems just incidental to me. What stays with me is what humans and this world can truly be, based on the experience of MDS. Peace and living in harmony is possible, I have faith and hope now that someday we will get there.
I don't believe in terms like 'life changing experience', but this is the closest I came to it. I trained for over 3 years in a systematic manner for this race, so it did not seem that difficult when I actually did it. I would rate it a 7.5 and I believe I can push my body and mind further.
What would be the three tips you'd give first time ultramarathon runners?
Train hard and train scientifically, preferably under the guidance of a coach/mentor. Research the race (including terrain, weather conditions, food available or that needs to be carried, worst case scenarios, interact with runners who have done the race before and take tips/pointers from them) and plan how you will attempt the race; visualize it in detail.
Simulate race conditions, for example attempting a 15-hour running race, participating in a 300km BRM road race with a 20 hour cut off. Also walk, run, or crawl but spend 15 hours on the road and get your legs used to standing/walking for that duration before attempting that race. This is in addition to scientific training program which you are following.

Contemporary Staunton Rosewood Triple Weight, Felted Chess Pieces (XX2009)
Free Shipping!
The lines of this grade one rosewood design is a outstanding feature Henry Moore would have been proud of. Chess sets such as this are works of art and will appreciate over time.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5
It sounds simple, doesn't it? But it's not easy! Trusting God actually means surrendering control . Until recently, I did not even realize how much order and control I craved. Where did my desire for control even come from?
It was probably born out of necessity in the early years of parenting when I struggled to meet the needs of five kids under the age of seven. As a homeschooling mother of young children, I had to know where they were and what they were doing at all times. It was my responsibility to plan out their days, direct their education in a hands-on way, tell them exactly they needed to do, and follow through to be sure they did it.
My kids have grown and matured beyond the need for my constant vigilance. My youngest just turned 12 last month, and the two oldest are legal adults! I need to trust my older kids to begin making their own decisions and following their own path. And I especially need to trust God to direct them rather than trying to force them into my own mold.
My One Word for 2018 is trust. Do I trust God to work in every situation instead of attempting to micromanage it on my own? Can I trust my husband to give godly wisdom in situations I think I understand better than he does? Do I trust members of my church family enough to share our struggles, our kids, and even our messy house with them? And will I trust my kids to express their maturity and take ownership of their education, their lives, and their future?
I want the answer to all of these questions to be yes, and I am intentionally focusing on trust this year.
Has God given you One Word for 2018? Please share it in the comments.

Dronedaroneinduced Henochschonlein Purpura
Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2012, April 1-4, San Diego, Calif.
Abstract number: 97666
Dronedarone is an antiarrhythmic drug approved by the FDA in 2009.Smallvessel vasculitis has not been previously reported in association with dronedarone.
71 year old male was admitted with 1 week history of generalized skin rash, decreased appetite and lower abdominal and back pain. Other medical history included Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and StevensJohnson syndrome with bactrim in 2007.Serum creatinine was 1.4 on admission that trended high to a maximum of 1.7 in the next week and then fell back to normal. pANCA, cANCA, mitochondrial and smooth muscle antibodies were negative. Complement levels were found to be normal. All other labs were unremarkable. Skin biopsies were performed, and histopathological studies of the biopsy specimens showed predominant perivascular infiltrates composed of lymphocytes (Fig 2) and neutrophils with prominent extravasation of erythrocytes (Fig 2) within the stroma, consistent with leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Kidney biopsy revealed mesangial immune deposits on electron microscopy with dominant IgA on immunofluorescence study. Colonoscopy with rectal biopsy showed colonic mucosa with focal ulceration, granulation tissue formation.Four weeks previously his cardiologist started him on Dronedarone for Atrial Fibrillation. Two weeks later the patient developed rash on both his legs associated with fever and shortness of breath. Patient was given levofloxacin for these symptoms by the primary care physician, but there was no improvement. The patient stopped taking all his medications two days prior to admission. In the hospital patient developed rectal bleed. Physical examination revealed normal body temperature, clear lungs, irregularly irregular heart rate and mild lower abdominal tenderness. No hepatosplenomegaly or lymphadenopathy was present. Skin examination revealed erythematous, maculopapular rash, 110mm in diameter over thighs (Fig1), Calves, hands, abdomen and chest. Hemorrhagic, bullous lesions were found in the axillae and on both legs above the ankles, with no signs of secondary bacterial infections.
Treatment with steroids was initiated and dronedarone was not restarted. Within a few days the lesions and symptoms completely resolved. The patient had no further episodes of skin rash over a follow up period of six months.
HenochSchönlein purpura is a smallvessel vasculitis that primarily affects children and is characterized by vascular and/or mesangial immunoglobulin A deposition. In the absence of any other known cause, the development of HenochSchonlein Purpura after initiation of Dronedarone and its rapid reversal on withdrawal could be attributed to this drug. Using Naranjo ADR probability scale dronedarone seems to be the probable etiology. With the understanding that systemic vasculitides could be life threatening, physicians should be aware of this possible adverse reaction in order to intervene promptly and avoid serious complications.
Figure 1Palpable purupuric rash.
Figure 2Lymphocytic infltration & erythrocyte extravasation.

In a fast-changing environment driven by digital disruption, innovation in the healthcare sector is booming. Belgium is the ideal breeding ground for biopharmaceutical companies, and is aiming to become a hub for the health technology of the future.
Digital disruption is everywhere and brings great opportunities for all sectors. Yet healthcare professionals have embraced transformation from the start, and they are now driven by continuous innovation. More and more healthcare companies are embedded in Belgium, supported by attractive Government policies to stimulate innovative healthcare.
Belgium enjoys a worldwide reputation as a 'Pharma Valley' and is renowned for its attractive framework for clinical trials. It is also the pharma logistics gateway to Europe and the world, given the presence of state-of-the-art infrastructure and expertise. Leading US healthcare companies such as Abbott, Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer manage significant parts of their global supply chains from Belgium. Now, with the launch of HealthTech.Belgium, the country is ready to become the world's test bed for health technology.
HealthTech.Belgium is a joint initiative of Agoria, beMedTech and the BVZD/ABDH (the Belgian Association of Hospital Directors), supported by Minister for Public Health Maggie De Block and Minister for Digital Agenda Alexander De Croo. The initiative aims to put health tech on the map, to make Belgium a key player and leverage its strengths to attract international innovation and talent. The recent investment of US company Mitral Technologies in Liège and Sanofi's acquisition of Ablynx, a Belgian biotech firm which is using llama and alpaca antibodies to develop innovative cancer treatments, are just two of many examples illustrating Belgium's increasing attractiveness in this field.
Innovation is key for healthcare of the future. The Chamber's Innovative Healthcare Committee, a cross-industry platform which brings a holistic approach to improving the quality of care and the sustainability of the healthcare ecosystem, will launch a new position paper on Real World Data on April 24. Contact Johanna Vijverman at the Secretariat if you would like to receive more information about the Innovative Healthcare Committee.
AmCham Belgium strongly supports the Government's dedication to innovation in healthcare and encourages further efforts. We are confident that, with the right measures, the biopharmaceutical industry and new health tech startups will continue to say #Yes2Belgium!

Merkel's Message to the West: Be Not Afraid
German Chancellor Angela Merkel this month told an audience of her Christian Democratic Union party colleagues that Germany's decades-old policy of multiculturalism has "utterly failed."
The political backdrop here is growing German popular opinion against immigration. This sentiment is fueled by the sense that immigrants, especially Muslims, reject the fundamental values of the country to which they have moved.
Looking over a society divided between Muslim immigrants and native-born German citizens, Chancellor Merkel argued that government policy should seek to incorporate immigrants by teaching them how to speak German and by integrating them into the workforce and into society generally. Merkel's speech is a profound break with the obeisance that Western societies have been paying to multiculturalism since the 1960s. It acknowledges that Western liberalism is sufficiently worthy of preservation to expect at a minimum that those who live in Western liberal society should understand its language, laws, and basic tenets.
However, Germany is not alone in facing the consequences of a bifurcated society. Nearly all liberal democracies suffer from one dismaying result of multiculturalism: increasing intimidation of the media by Islamists and the slow but steady undermining of our tradition of free speech.
How was such an important departure from the assumptions of the past half century reached? In his poem "Youth and Age," Samuel Coleridge Taylor looks wistfully at aging. "Ah! for the change 'twixt Now and Then," he writes. Changes in people you see daily go largely unnoticed. If you haven't seen someone for a long time, the transformations are apparent at once.
This applies equally to politics. Think back more than 20 years to when Salman Rushdie published The Satanic Verses. A year later -- in February 1989 -- Ayatollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, a decree calling for Rushdie to be murdered. I was an official at the U.S. Defense Department at the time and I am happy to say that the U.S. government took note and considered how best to protect him should the need arise. Even the European public stood to defend Rushdie's freedom of speech. The writer Ian McEwan is said to have hidden Rushdie, as did Christopher Hitchens, before more formal protection could be offered. Rushdie was invited to the stage at rock concerts in England and received a thunderous and approving reception. Twenty years ago states and the public together supported free speech.
Two decades later it's quite a different story. After the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten (the Jutland Post) published its cartoons of Mohammad in September 2005, Denmark and its courageous Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen stood alone. Imams in Denmark and ambassadors from nearly a dozen Muslim-majority states sought a meeting with Rasmussen to, as the American writer Tom Wolfe put it in 1970, "mau mau the flak catchers." The prime minister steadfastly refused to take part in such antics. He responded in a letter noting that "freedom of expression has a wide scope and the Danish government has no means of influencing the press."
How far we have come. The Bush administration shamefully declared that "we find (these cartoons) offensive, and we certainly understand why Muslims would find these images offensive." American conservative publications barked but did not publish the cartoons.
The Obama administration echoed its predecessor's mindless efforts at appeasing the unappeasable. One of the religious leaders who was invited to speak at a prayer service that preceded President Obama's inauguration two years ago was Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America. In 2007, U.S. federal prosecutors included the Islamic Society of North America along with almost 300 other co-conspirators in a criminal case that accused the Holy Land Foundation of Richardson, Texas, of having funneled more than $12 million dollars to Hamas, which the U.S. government had officially designated as a terrorist group in 1995. A small Washington political journal picked up on the story. Otherwise the U.S. media largely ignored it. Such events have now become sufficiently normal to merit little or nor interest.
No matter where you look, our free media, governments, and publics are increasingly open to Muslim intimidation. More worrisome, a growing body of opinion implicitly holds that appeasing such intimidation will diminish or overcome it. Last year the Yale University Press published a book on the Danish cartoon incident. After a lot of consultations the Press decided not to publish the cartoons but also to leave out illustrations of Mohammad from an Ottoman print, a sketch by Gustave Dore, and an episode from Dante that Botticelli, Blake, Rodin, and Dali have all depicted. So it is now clear that at least one highly respected Western academic institution whose single most important intellectual principle is freedom of thought can be intimidated into self-censorship by not even so much as a spoken or written threat.
Late in September a cartoonist for the Seattle Weekly, Molly Norris, disappeared. It had occurred to her that if enough people make it clear that they support freedom, those who oppose it will retreat. She advocated an "Everybody Draw Mohammad Day." An American-born cleric, Anwar al-Awlaki, now hiding in Yemen to escape being killed or captured for his leadership in al-Qaeda, issued a fatwa for Norris's murder. Norris changed her mind about the proposal -- understandable in the circumstances -- and on the advice of government security personnel is now in hiding. A couple of U.S. journals recorded the event. Otherwise it was ignored. We have come to accept intimidation as normal.
Americans, however, are not alone in appeasement or self-censorship. Seven years ago a report on anti-Semitism in Europe was commissioned by the European Union and authored, among others, by Professor Walter Bergmann of Berlin's Technical University. The report found that Muslims and pro-Palestinian groups were responsible for a large portion of anti-Semitic violence in Europe. The E.U. decided not to publish the report.
