Dentistry in the United Kingdom is partly a free part of the National Health Service and partly paid for privately. Most dentists run private businesses. UK dentists are regulated by the General Dental Council  and the Care Quality Commission. If they do NHS work they are paid for activity. There are contracts which sets down what they will be paid for and how much. They are different in the different part of the United Kingdom. Before the NHS started in 1948 many people paid to have their teeth taken out because they were afraid of the cost of dentistry. In 2023 there were still many people over the age of 85 with no teeth. People who qualify for the NHS Low Income Scheme do not have to pay, but they have to find a dentist who does NHS work. Other people have to pay standard charges - £23.80 for an examination, £65.20 for fillings, root canal treatment and removing teeth or £282.80 for more complex procedures, such as crowns, dentures and bridges. (2023 prices) In 2023 many dentists had stopped taking on NHS patients. Only one in five dental practices in Scotland were taking on new NHS patients.
Dick Whittington, properly Sir Richard Whittington (1354 – March 1423), was four times Lord Mayor of London, a member of parliament and a Sheriff of London. He had no children and left his fortune (£7,000 equivalent to £6,300,000 in 2021) to form the Charity of Sir Richard Whittington. His life was well known. He became a character in an English story that was adapted for the stage as a play, "The History of Richard Whittington, of his lowe byrth, his great fortune", in February 1604. This was turned into a pantomime called "Dick Whittington and His Cat." This tells how Dick, a boy from a poor Gloucestershire family, sets out for London to make his fortune, accompanied by, or later acquiring, his cat. At first he meets with little success, and is tempted to return home. However, on his way out of the city, whilst climbing Highgate Hill he hears the Bow Bells of London ringing, and believes they are sending him a message. There is now a large hospital on Highgate Hill, named the Whittington Hospital. A traditional rhyme associated with this tale is:Turn again, Whittington, Once Lord Mayor of London! Turn again, Whittington, Twice Lord Mayor of London! Turn again, Whittington, Thrice Lord Mayor of London!
Whittington Hospital is a district general and teaching hospital of UCL Medical School and Middlesex University School of Health and Social Sciences. It is in Upper Holloway, Islington, and is managed by Whittington Health NHS Trust. It is the place where Dick Whittington was supposed to have heard the Bow Bells ringing. The first hospital there was St Anthony's Chapel and Lazar House, built for lepers in 1473.A Smallpox and Vaccination Hospital, was built there in 1848. In 1900 it was turned into a workhouse infirmary. It was taken over by the London County Council in 1930 and renamed St Mary's Hospital.

Hospitals in the United Kingdom are mostly now run by the National Health Service, but there are still a number of private hospitals, mostly in or near London.  Before the NHS started in 1947 there were a very large number of small hospitals. It took over 1143 voluntary hospitals, with about 90,000 beds and 1545 municipal hospitals with about 390,000 beds. The average number of people in hospital beds went down from about 410,00 in 1960 to 341,000 in 1974, though the number of people treated went up.  Voluntary hospitals started in the the eighteenth century in England. They gave free medical care to poor people. Their doctors were not paid for this. They made their money from private patients, who were mostly treated in their own homes. They were teaching hospitals and run as charities.  Municipal hospitals were run by local government. They had taken over the workhouses after 1929. They were mostly for people with long term or infectious illnesses, mental illness and mental handicap. Hospitals for people with smallpox or tuberculosis were built in isolated places. The people who worked in the hospitals under the NHS were paid by the rules of the Whitley councils. Many of the small hospitals were closed by Nye Bevan in the first years of the NHS. In 1962 Enoch Powell launched the Hospital Plan which had plans for 90 new hospitals, 134 to be rebuilt and about 1000 more small hospitals to be closed. Not all of these were built. The new ones were called District General Hospitals, and they provided most services in the same building. The idea was to make sure there were enough beds in all parts of the country.
A Whitley council, also known as a joint industrial council, is a British organization which fixes wage rates, terms and conditions in a specific industry. They have both employers and trade unions. They were started in 1917. In 1979 there were eight councils in the National Health Service covering all the NHS staff, except doctors and dentists. In 2004 a new system was started for the NHS, called Agenda for Change. It has nine numbered pay bands subdivided into points, like the old alphabetic Whitley Council 'grades' pay scales.

Bathyphysa conifera, is a species of siphonophore. They live about 1000 to 4000 meters below the ocean. This depth is called the bathypelagic zone. "Bathyphysa conifera" was nicknamed the "Flying Spaghetti Monster" by the oil workers who first saw it. Its cluster of reproductive structures called gonophores look a bit like cones.  "Bathyphysa conifera" is found in the Atlantic Ocean: off the coast of Gabon and as far south as Angola. It is also in Monterey Bay in the Pacific Ocean. These colonial organisms are all composites: they are groups of organisms, not single organisms. This is usual for the jellyfish called siphonophores.  It is a group of polyps with no propulsion. Without propulsion, "B. conifera" moves by contracting and relaxing the body stem. The tentacles have stinging cells called nematocysts. The entire animal, including tentacles, is several meters long. The feeding polyps are pink when young, before developing tentacles. A mature feeding polyp is yellow with a single tentacle. Colonies are unisexual, and reproduce by asexual reproduction.  Ecology. Like many siphonophores, it is carnivorous. The typical siphonophore diet consists of a variety of copepods, small crustaceans, and small fish. "B. conifera" has been seen eating a lanternfish. A species of manefish in the genus "Caristius" associates mutualistically with "B. conifera", using it for shelter, stealing meals, and perhaps nibbling on its host as well. The fish protects it from amphipod parasites like "Themisto".

A smart bomb or smart ammunition is a kind of weapon that is able to hit a target more precisely. It will therefore do more damage to the intended target, and ideally, there will be less collateral damage. Officially, these bombs are called Precision-guided munition, or PGM.  Such ammunition or bombs have the ability to influence their course, after they have been launched.  Usually, such weapons have sensors, for example for: During the First Gulf War guided munitions were only 9% of weapons fired, but they accounted for 75% of all successful hits. Despite guided weapons generally being used on more difficult targets, they were still 35 times more likely to destroy their targets per weapon dropped.

This time was the time when Turkic cultures and languages became most common. The southern part of the Altai Republic came under the Naiman Khanate. The territory of the modern Altai Republic has been ruled by the Mongolic Xianbei state (93–234), Rouran Khaganate (330–555), Mongol Empire (1206–1368), Golden Horde (1240–1502), Zunghar Khanate (1634–1758) and Qing Empire (1757–1864).

Naré Maghann Konaté was already married to Sassouma Berté and had a son by her, Dankaran Touman Keïta. However, when two Traoré hunters from the Do kingdom presented him an ugly, hunchbacked woman named Sogolon, he remembered the prediction and married her. She soon gave birth to a son, Sundiata, who was unable to walk throughout most of his childhood until 7 years old.
Circle dance, or chain dance, is a style of social dance done in a circle or a wavy line to background music, which has a beat and singing (sometimes just a beat without singing). It is a type of dance where anyone can join in without the need for a partner.  Unlike line dancing, circle dancers connect with each other made by hand-to-hand, finger-to-finger or hands-on-shoulders, where they follow the leader around the dance floor. From gentle to energetic, the dance can be a fun group experience or part of a meditation. Background. Being probably the oldest known dance style, it is common to many cultures for celebrating special occasions, religious ceremonies, and for encouraging togetherness. Circle dances are performed to many different styles of music and rhythms. Modern circle dance mixes traditional folk dances, mainly from European or Near Eastern origins, with recently created ones to a variety of music both ancient and modern. Distribution. Modern circle dancing is found in many cultures, including Iraqi, Jordanian, Lebanese, Palestinian, Israeli, Assyrian, Kurdish, Turkish, Azerbaijani, Maltese, and Balkan. Circle dancing also has a historical importance in Brittany, Catalonia and Ireland to the west of Europe, and also in South America (Peruvian), Tibet, and with Native Americans. It is used, in its more meditating form, in worship in various religious traditions including the Church of England and the Islamic Haḍra Dhikr (or Zikr) dances. Types. Some famous circle dances include Hora (Balkan), Kolo (Slavic), Sardana (Italy), Syrtos (Greece), An Dro (Breton), Dabke (Levant), Khigga (Assyrian), Kochari (Caucasus, Balkan and Anatolia), Tamzara (Caucasus, Anatolia and Greece).
Agustín Magaldi Coviello (December 1, 1898 – September 8, 1938) was an Argentinian tango and milonga singer-songwriter. His nickname was "La voz sentimental de Buenos Aires" ("The sentimental voice of Buenos Aires"). Magaldi took part in the opening broadcasts of Argentina's LOY Radio Nacional in July 1924. Magaldi suffered from liver disease and was admitted to Sanatorium Otamendi early in September 1938. An operation by Dr. Pedro Valdez was successful, but Magaldi died 48 hours later. He was buried in La Chacarita Cemetery in Buenos Aires. Portrayal in "Evita". In the Andrew Lloyd Webber's and Tim Rice's musical "Evita", Magaldi is shown as bringing Eva Duarte to Buenos Aires and so is therefore referred to as "the first man to be of use to Eva Duarte". There is some disagreement, however, about the role Magaldi played in Eva's real life, or that they knew each other. For example, in the biography "Evita: The Real Life of Eva Perón", biographers Marysa Navarro and Nicholas Fraser write that there are no records of Magaldi performing in Eva's hometown of Junín in the year that Eva is said to have met Magaldi. A major historical error is that the musical shows Magaldi performing at a charity concert given in aid of the victims of an earthquake in San Juan, Argentina. The concert, where Eva Duarte and Juan Perón met for the first time, happened on January 22, 1944, when Magaldi had been dead for over five years.
Dr. David Gunn was a medical doctor, specialized in gynecology and obstetrics. On March 10, 1993, Michael Frederick Griffin shot and killed Dr. Gunn, in Pensacola, Florida. It was the first documented killing of an obstetrics and gynaecology doctor where the killer said he wanted to prevent a doctor from performing abortions in an act of anti-abortion violence in the United States. A jury deliberated three hours before finding Griffin guilty on March 4, 1994. He was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison, which he is serving at Okaloosa Correctional Institution in Crestview, Florida. In November 2017, the Florida Commission on Offender Review set Griffin's tentative release date for March 4, 2043. Griffin can have his release date reviewed in 2024, and additional reviews after no more than 7 years. Shooting. On March 10, 1993, anti-abortion protesters had been demonstrating in front of Gunn's Pensacola Women's Medical Services clinic. Griffin waited outside, then ambushed Gunn by shooting him three times in the back with a shotgun, shouting "Don't kill any more babies" before opening fire. Griffin did not deny his actions after shooting Gunn and told police "We need an ambulance." Aftermath. Griffin claimed to be acting on behalf of God. During his trial, Griffin's lead defense attorney, Robert Kerrigan, argued that anti-abortion activist John Burt had brainwashed Griffin and drove him to commit murder. At the time, Burt was the Northwest Florida regional director of the national pro-life group Rescue America. Burt was also a former member of the Ku Klux Klan and self-professed "spiritual adviser" to a group of activists who bombed three abortion clinics in 1984. A jury deliberated three hours before finding Griffin guilty on March 4, 1994. The murder was one of reasons why in 1994 the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act was passed. From March 1993 through May 2009, Gunn was the first of a total of four doctors murdered by anti-abortion extremists. Others killed were doctors Barnett Slep

The F40PH is a diesel locomotive originally made for Amtrak in 1975. Background. When started in 1971, Amtrak was given many old locomotives. These came from railroads who used to operate passenger trains. More modern models were kept by freight or commuter railroads. To replace them, Amtrak ordered 150 locomotives. These entered service in 1973. These were later helped by 25 in 1975. The SDP40F was a troubled design. Problems with its weight balance cause it to come off the tracks very often. The P30CH's poor truck design was the reason no more of these were built. History. On May 8, 1975, Amtrak ordered the first 30 F40PHs. The first of these entered service on April 9, 1976. They were initially intended for short routes. However, in the winter of 1976-77, a hit America hard. This put Amtrak's steam-heated passenger cars out of service. In place of them, the F40PH and the new passenger cars were put on long-distance runs. In the spring of 1977, 40 SDP40Fs were returned to EMD. Parts of these were used to create 40 more F40PHs, known as the F40PHR. They had a bigger fuel tank, and a more powerful head-end power generator. In this process, a total of 132 F40PHRs were created. In addition, Amtrak bought six more F40PHs from GO Transit in 1990. These, combined with new orders from EMD, brought the total number of locomotives owned by Amtrak to 216. Starting in 1991, Amtrak began replacing its F40PHs with more up-to-date models. The last of the F40PHs were retired by 2001, once the delivery of locomotives was complete.
A wet nurse is a woman who breastfeeds and cares for someone elses child. In ancient times this was very common, partly because many women died in childbirth. Many babies died so women were available to do this. Wealthy people would pay women to do this. Since infant formula was invented this has become much less common.
