Dental radiographs, also known as dental X-rays, are important diagnostic tools in pediatric dentistry. Dental radiographs allow the dentist to see and treat problems like childhood cavities, tooth decay, orthodontic misalignment, bone injuries, and bone diseases before they worsen. These issues would be difficult (in some cases impossible) to see with the naked eye during a clinical examination.
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) approves the use of dental radiographs for diagnostic purposes in children and teenagers. Although radiographs only emit tiny amounts of radiation and are safe to use on an occasional basis, the AAPD guidelines aim to protect young people from unnecessary X-ray exposure.
What are dental X-rays used for?
Dental x-rays are extremely versatile diagnostic tools. Some of their main uses in pediatric dentistry include:
When will my child need dental X-rays?
Individual circumstances dictate how often a child needs to have dental radiographs taken. Children at higher-than-average risk of childhood tooth decay (as determined by the pediatric dentist) may need biannual radiographs to monitor changes in the condition of the teeth. Likewise, children who are at high risk for orthodontic problems, for example, malocclusion, may also need sets of radiographs taken more frequently for monitoring purposes.
Children at average or below average risk for tooth decay and orthodontic problems should have a set of dental X-rays taken every one to two years. Even in cases where the pediatric dentist suspects no decay at all, it is still important to periodically monitor tooth and jaw growth – primarily to ensure there is sufficient space available for incoming permanent teeth.
If the oral region has been subject to trauma or injury, the pediatric dentist may want to X-ray the mouth immediately. Developments in X-ray technology mean that specific areas of the mouth can be targeted and X-rayed separately, reducing the amount of unnecessary X-ray exposure.
What precautions will be taken to ensure my child's safety?
Though dental radiographs are perfectly safe for use on children, the pediatric dentist will take several precautions to ensure the X-ray process does not unduly damage the child's cells and bodily tissues.
First, the child will be covered in a lead apron to protect the body from unnecessary exposure. Second, the dentist will use shields to protect the parts of the face that are not being X-rayed. Finally, the pediatric dentist will use high-speed film to reduce radiation exposure as much as possible.
If you have questions or concerns about dental radiographs or X-rays, please contact your pediatric dentist.
"Dr. Alas has treated my entire family for several years and I would recommend him to anyone in need of dental work. Dr. Alas will treat you with respect and demonstrates such a kind nature your nervousness about any procedure will subside. His staff is very caring and professional and the results speak for themselves!"
Suzanne from Kern, CA
I know I'm in the same boat with most of you folks out there that are terrified of the dentist but I can say this without hesitation... Dr. A treated me like I was the only person in the world from the time I saw him through my treatment and out the door. I experienced no pain what so ever (some numbing gel prior to the shot, never felt a thing.) I was asked throughout my procedure by Dr. A am I ok? Are you in any discomfort? If you are just blink your eyes but there was no need to blink I did not feel any pain or discomfort of any kind.
Dr.A is very gentle, compassionate and professional. I do not see myself, my husband or any family member going to another dentist. We have found him!! and his staff and will let everyone that we know or meet that needs a dentist "if your not going to be seen by Dr Alas at Five Star Dentistry on Ming Ave. you have made a mistake in my opinion.
Thank you for everything guys and we'll be seeing ya.

Desi Soul vocalist Zeshan B is widely recognized as one of the most unique singers to come out of Chicago. Zeshan B blends the hard-driving rhythms and horn- heavy sounds of 1960s and 1970s soul with the angsty scats and vocal stylings of early Indo-Pakistani film with lyrics about unrequited love, urban despair, and oppression. This is a self-proclaimed, entirely new genre he calls Brown-Skinned Soul.

I'm going soft on the Giants.
What's wrong with me? Is it a lingering strain of holiday spirit? Catatonia derived from Sunday's NFL insanity? I don't know, but I'm feeling like the pushover teacher who can't bear to give that nice kid a D- in English even though he clearly watched the movie version of "To Kill a Mockingbird" and skipped the book.
When the 2017 season mercifully ended and the Giants' offseason began, I was convinced there were two justifiable options for this team. They could land a superstar like Giancarlo Stanton and use him as the spark to fire up a massive one-year turnaround. Or they could admit that their farm system is even more depleted than their major-league roster and blow everything up; put Posey, Bumgarner and Crawford on an inflatable raft, and sink the ship.
They tried to get Stanton. They really did. But when the slugger rejected them, you had to figure the rebuild was coming.
Instead, executive VP Brian Sabean and general manager Bobby Evans are steering their truck right down the broken line. They're not decisively picking a lane. The plan is to add a few solid veterans and improve the roster incrementally. That's a difficult route, because there are so many increments between 64-98 and, say, 87-75, which is what it took to make the National League playoffs in 2017.
So I should be taking a run at Sabean and Evans, bemoaning the fact that the Giants outfield is still substandard, and their minor league system remains bereft of elite prospects. But I can't help it. I really like the Andrew McCutchen trade that was announced Monday.
And again, there are reasons not to like it. McCutchen was National League MVP with the Pirates in 2013, and he led the league in on-base percentage and OPS the year after that, but he hasn't looked like that player over the past two seasons. McCutchen was really bad in the field last year. He has just one year remaining on his contract, meaning he could be nothing more than a borrow.
Also, McCutchen is 31 years old. The Giants' other big acquisition this winter, third baseman Evan Longoria, is 32. Not old in baseball years, but not exactly on the upswing. Together they are easily interpreted as two coats of paint on a crumbling mansion.
But a couple things make the McCutchen trade attractive. Most obvious is that the Giants got him cheap. The Pirates confirmed the package Monday afternoon: pitcher Kyle Crick, outfielder Bryan Reynolds and $500,000 in international bonus pool space. Ken Rosenthal, who writes for The Athletic among other outlets, reported that the Pirates will send the Giants $2.5 million to apply to McCutchen's $14.5 million salary for 2018.
What's not to like in that exchange? Yes, Crick is a big, 25-year-old lefty who was pretty good in 30 games with the Giants last year. Reynolds is a fast, switch-hitting center fielder, and just 22 years old. Their departure further degrades San Francisco's thin farm operation. But neither was seen as untouchable. The Giants have clearly upgraded their lineup without surrendering a keeper like Tyler Beede, Heliot Ramos, Chris Shaw or Andrew Suarez.
So the value of this deal is hard to assail. But what really intrigues me about the McCutchen trade is that he'll provide something that was in short supply at AT&T Park last year: excitement.

RSPCA shop opening in Porthcawl
The week before last, I had the great pleasure of opening the RSPCA's new fundraising shop in John Street, Porthcawl.
I was delighted to have been invited to take part in the ceremony. Not only will it provide good quality items for the people of Porthcawl but shoppers will also be supporting the world's oldest animal welfare charity.
Sally Hyman, Chair of the Llys Nini Branch of the RSPCA (pictured with me above), was also there and has issued the following request for support:
"The shop will sell good quality clothing, accessories, bric a brac and almost anything else you can think of. So, if you have any unwanted items that you wish to donate, you can drop them off at the new charity shop where your items will be gratefully received. We will also need volunteers to helping the shop, so please drop by and introduce yourself to the manager. We will also accept all sorts of textiles which we can recycle as part of our environmental protection policy"
I wish them all the best.

Throughout The Car Industry
Haunted Highways: A Series Exploring The Ghosts of Cars Gone By (Quickly)
Although many will point to the 1960's as the Golden Age of automobiles, when it's all said and done, the 1990's may be right up there with the best of automotive times this country has ever seen. Dozens of exciting mobile masterpieces were available in all shapes and sizes, prices, and power ratings. The car we have chosen today is one of the more visually impressive models to cruise own any road in America: The Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4
Rowing through the Getrag six-speed helped propel the 2+2 sport coupe to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds thanks to all four Yokohama a-028 245/40ZR18 tires scrambling for grip. It will rip through the quarter mile at a still-respectable 13.5 @ 105 mph on its way to an electronically limited 155 mph top speed. The VR-4 was a fierce competitor in almost every comparison it appeared in, but it's one short-coming was it's girth. At 3737 pounds, it outweighed one of it's main rivals, the Corvette, by almost 500 pounds. Consequently, the VR-4 could be likened to today's Aston Martins: Big horsepower, comfortable ride, but more of a GT car than a track star. Though its double wishbone suspension equipped with Macpherson struts fought hard, even the mighty Mitsu could not fight physics. Though when the weather got to be anything less than perfect, the tide turned quickly in favor of the big Mitsubishi. Nothing could deliver the same all-weather performance short of a Porsche 911 Turbo, which helped real world buyers rationalize their less than nimble purchase.

An evening of glitz and glamour was in order for the Saint Paul's Prom held at the Cresta Court in Altrincham.
Exams have come to an end, the sun is shining and Year 11 pupils at Saint Paul's Catholic High School in Wythenshawe are ending their time at the school. To mark this momentous milestone, staff joined with pupils for a fond farewell at the school prom. The school sees the annual Prom as a time to party and celebrate targets achieved, friends made and valuable memories formed.
The pupils looked stunning as they arrived, dressed in their finest, in head-turning sleek limousines. The air was full of excitement and anticipation ahead of a wonderful evening for all. They then proceeded to party the night away as they celebrated with fellow pupils and staff.
"The Prom is a once-in-a-lifetime event and we like to make the pupils feel special," said Mrs Fiona Minshall, Head Teacher at Saint Paul's. "Staff and students enjoyed mingling and socializing at the Prom and we were able to wish this very special year group every success and happiness for the future."

Thundercrack! Trailer (1975)
"Ecstasy so great that all Heaven and Hell became but one Shangri-La! An Epic of Massive Impact.." 01 January 1975 Drama, Horror, Comedy 153 mins
Take a cliched Horror-story beginning, a remote Gothic mansion, an insane hostess, a group of strangers (four men, three women and a gorilla) and you pretty much begin to see that this is not meant to be a serious film, but rather a parody of several other (older and better) ones. Social and sexual confusion & misunderstanding guarantees that this odd cast of characters will come together and entertain & amuse for 120 minutes.

Pyramid Matrix Energy Collectors
Free Website Counters
Pyramid Matrix Product Page
Pyramids act as collectors for subtle energies. These energies focus and exit the pyramid through the corners and apex. These Pyramid Matrix Collectors resend most of the exiting energy by recollecting the energy into another neighboring pyramid.
All of these pyramids are based on the golden or phi ratio, the ratio is 1/1.618 . This ratio has been known the be directly related to the human heartbeat and the Earth's heartbeat. It has also been discovered that the frenquency emitted from a human feeling love for another is coresponding with the golden ratio.
The energy these pyramids collect are at a frenquency of the golden ratio, which can be assoceated with the healing effects of feeling love. Pyramids have also been known to be able to transmit energy over long distances. I.E. Healing a sick friend over seas, or sending protection energy to a special soldger.
After using and comunicating with various pyramid matrixes
I have discoverd a way of mesuring the strength of various devices.
This is a method of mesuring the intenisty not frenquency.
So far there is no known scientific method of mesuring pyramid energy. (Except for experiments from Kirlien Camerias and UV cameras) But still we cannot derive and intensity numbers from these experiments. Using dowsing I was able to read the pyramids strength in units of pulces per second.
Quite a few tests were performed, most uncharged quartz measured around 100 - 150 PPS, after 5 minutes of hand energizing I was able to get the reading up to 800 PPS. This is when I began discovering the internal mechanics of the pyramid. The measurments had to be made (via dowsing) using What is the current peak pulses per second of the vortex within this pyramid collector (pendulum dowsing with a number chart) The pyramids themselves facilitate the collection of energy within the pyramid, creating a internal vortex. Once this vortex starts to fill the pyramid it starts to flow out the apex and corners and then it fills the area around the collector acting as an aura. So far the strongest concentration of energy is found just above the center of the pyramid (60% - 65% up from the bottom).

I've actually been working on painting an armchair this weekend. I posted it in a challenge that Melissa from The Inspired Room proposed at least 3 weeks ago. Obviously, I didn't meet the deadline. But, I have been painting my chair. It's not quite finished. I think the cushion is going to pose a particular challenge. I found these pictures below at Country Living. I was looking for inspiration. The chair that I'm painting is not going to be white, but these photos are beautiful. I think it's the varied ways that they're using the chair. I would like my chair to be flexible, to fit into different rooms. I think the fabric choice will dictate that the most.
I love the way the photo is framed and of course the beautiful hardwood floors.
This is a beautiful vignette. But why do you suppose it's facing the wall? Do you suppose it's the naughty chair? I had to stand in the corner a lot in elementary school. This would've been much better.
Here is a beautiful place to change your shoes. I don't think I'd be wearing those, though.This is just a pretty setting. I like how the rain boots are added to coordinate the colors. I don't think I'll be adding boots to my decorating just yet.

President Donald Trump alleges that President Obama ordered wiretaps on his Trump Tower phone lines. This accusation is a distraction; Obama didn't need to order taps.
People caught chatting with Russians were discovered because all digital data generated or received in the U.S. is available to government agents through the Utah Data Center in Bluffdale, Utah. There, all private emails, phone calls, searches, chats, tweets, personal data trails (itineraries, purchases, etc.) flow through servers and are stored in near-bottomless databases.
Data emanating from suspicious foreign sources may lawfully be intercepted and analyzed. Say, Russian agents were trying to interfere with our elections or cut unlawful deals with American citizens, the government might have an interest in who was on the other end of that conversation and what was said or done.
No need for a "wiretap"; the data already is collected. As Edward Snowden noted and Trump is no doubt learning, judicial or administrative oversight over who gets to scrutinize citizens' communications stored in the Utah Data Center is uncertain.
Trump should quit kicking the hornets' nest and listen to what Snowden knows and recognize him as a national hero, instead of wanting to execute him.

It seems though that all you're going to do here in the incubator is go through the IP clearance and ask for waivers on all the other usual steps that a new project goes through. Whats the point of that? Whether its a bad precedent or not, if you effectively want a rubber stamp from the IPMC then better IMO to just do the IP Clearance for the code base and go straight to the board to sign off on subversion joining as a TLP.

App developers claim that App Store Optimization (ASO) that they knew several years ago has dramatically changed. It is no longer enough to put keywords in iTunes Keyword Field and use all of 5 spots reserved for screenshots to optimize an application. Instead, ASO stands for thoughtful element analysis, app reputation management and infinite process of testing and optimization.
App developers follow the new rules - and there's no wonder, both vealy startups and flourishing enterprises aspire to make the most of their marketing budgets by optimizing product page elements.
Boosting conversion without extra traffic expenses in the world of ever-increasing cost of user acquisition sounds like a cherished dream, doesn't it? Smart ASO can help to make it true.
Keywords optimization is usually the first thing that comes to marketers' minds at mentioning ASO. Unfortunately, they tend to neglect such essential product page elements as screenshots, icon, description, name, video preview, etc.
Yet, app store page is the arena of final decision-making, it's the place where users normally click "Install" in the end of the day. To maximize converting power of all store page elements you should master the art of mobile A/B testing.
Principles behind A/B testing
A/B testing or Split-testing is a method of comparing two hypotheses identifying which option performs better.
The basic idea is simple: you distribute an audience equally among two or more variations of an app product page element (screenshots, title, etc.). All audience members act naturally being unaware of the testing. You find out a version with the best conversion rate as a result.
A/B tests range of objectives
A/B testing's paramount goal is app conversion rate improvement. However, its benefits move far beyond conversion optimization. Needless to say, it gives valuable insights for marketing activity reinforcement. Split-tests assist in evaluation of audience segments as well. Furthermore, they may be of service in measuring efficiency of new traffic channels.
Marketers can also use pre-launch experiments to qualify new ideas identifying ones that hit chord with their target audience. Moreover, publishers are able to find out whether product positioning change is needed and audience understands and fancies their new message.
Planning is an integral part of any activity, A/B testing is no exception.
Let's analyze each step of the basic A/B testing strategy through the example of Prisma (2016's App of the Year).
App A/B testing workflow
Prisma is an application that allows putting art-inspired filters on photos. An innovational technology that lays behind the app has drawn attention of media and ensured app's viral growth.
When the traffic comes - and no matter it is 10 or 10K users per day - an app developer has to be sure each and every element on the user's path to install works on increasing conversions. Ultimately, how well an app conversion rate influences not only a number of users, but also app page rankings.
That became a primary reason for optimizing Prisma's app store page.
Any A/B tests starts with profound audience, traffic sources and market analysis
To reveal room for optimization, Prisma analyzed its competitors and identified 5 best practices:
- Competitors were using bolder font of captions.
- The most popular features were highlighted.
- Competitors were using bullet lists.
- Catchy press reviews were added in descriptions.
- Screenshots featured users' comments and likes.
Given the fact that the majority of Prisma's users were landing directly on the app page from media reviews and ads, the biggest challenge was to optimize an app on this exact step.
Although each page element influences a conversion rate, screenshots are the most impactful page elements when it comes to finding an app through Search and deciding on installing an app.
Hypothesis brainstorming follows analysis
No A/B test is a success without a solid hypothesis behind it. The ASO checklist can help you in establishing goals and specifying type of an experiment you want to run.
In screenshots experiments of Prisma several presumptions were tested:
- Whether caption text with bolder font placed on the top of the images performs better.
- If comments and likes make the image more dynamic.
- Whether it's better to use all five screenshots.
Once hypotheses are developed, it's time for creating variations
It's necessary to prepare variations design within this step. The layout should be based on the hypothesis under the test.
Here is Prisma's control…
… and optimized variations.
Only when first 3 steps are completed, you run a Split-test
Two quick preparational steps before running an app A/B experiment are to define a preferable traffic source (this can be Facebook ads, Google Adwords, Banners, etc.) and appoint a target audience. You will be driving these users to your app's product page variations and analyzing their behavior.
Mind that the audience is to be distributed equally. Prisma used SplitMetrics A/B testing platform that was automatically splitting potential users and landing them on two different variations.
When it came to the choice of traffic source, it was decided to use Facebook ads. First of all, the most converting banner was identified via running set of various images against each other within Facebook ads campaign. This test didn't only determine the best performing ads banner for upcoming split-testing, ideas for screenshot layout were estimated as well.
The coolest part is analyzing app A/B testing results
Results are considered trustworthy only upon reaching statistically significant number of active users.
This number depends on your conversion rate: the higher conversion, the less users you need. At reaching necessary confidence level of the experiment, Prisma's redesigned screenshots got 12.3% conversion uplift.
The initial hypotheses were justified. You can implement obtained results at once providing the winner is apparent as in the case of Prisma.
If you want to scale results, run follow-up experiments
A/B testing should become an ongoing process for you rather than a single-shot act. The truth is every app store is a continually changing environment and even the most brilliant results may be dated in less than no time.
For example, Prisma continued tests playing around descriptions and launching further screenshots experiments to prepare for an important update (introduction of video filters).
As a result, the app got additional 19.7% increase in conversion rate.
Tools for efficient A/B testing
Product page A/B testing may seem a monumental challenge as you have to bear in mind dozens of details to make the grade. It's fortunate that the process of split-testing can be automated. There're really performant tools that easy up running of experiments.
SplitMetrics is one of such helpmate tools. It facilitates A/B testing process of all page elements in both App Store and Google Play. Generated landings of variations look like actual store pages. Moreover, you can run pre-launch experiments there, thus, "preening feathers" of your new app and predetermining it maximum possible conversion right from the start.
Google Play Experiments is another decent option in case you need to test only Android apps. Though it's vital to understand that the results of such experiments shouldn't be applied in iOS App Store as users behavior differ drastically.
Facebook ads may also assist in performance examining of screenshots and icons layouts. Ad campaigns statistics gives insights into converting power of your designs.
App A/B testing is a game changer
Some marketers tend to underestimate the importance of page elements A/B testing forgetting that their team's opinion on design is biased. Only actual users can prove or dismiss an impact of any idea.
Lots of case studies persuade of split-testing indispensability. Just for the record:
- Rovio got 2,5M extra installs in just one week after Angry Birds release thanks to screenshots optimization;
- MSQRD viral success was reinforced with smart App Store Optimization, saying that I refer to 16M installs within 3 months with 0 marketing budget;
- Prisma got the title of App Store #1 app since its page elements were perfected via A/B testing, as a result its product page lured organic users.
Split-testing doesn't only boost apps' performance on both paid and organic traffic, it also becomes a source of essential metrics and analytics which should stand behind every audacious and high-flying ASO strategy.

From claimer to Plate contender
ETOBICOKE, Ontario - Anglian Prince was running for a $25,000 claiming tag when he won his maiden in his fourth career start at Woodbine last Oct. 25.
But now Anglian Prince, a gelding, has thrust himself squarely into the Queen's Plate picture for his owner, Leonard Prussky, and trainer, Mort Hardy, after torpedoing his four opponents in Saturday's Marine Stakes.
"He's been slow maturing," said Hardy, in his office here Monday morning. "He's just getting better and better."
Anglian Prince, who had graduated over 6 1/2 furlongs, started twice more at 2, finishing third and then scoring in first-level allowance races at 1 1/16 miles.
And, after finishing seventh when he opened up his current campaign in the Achievement Handicap, Anglian Prince performed creditably while finishing second in the Woodstock and fourth in the Queenston.
With that current form, plus the stretch-out to 1 1/16 miles, Hardy was surprised his Marine entrant was taken so lightly.
"There was so much hype on the Sam-Son Farm horse, you would have thought everybody was running for second money," said Hardy, with reference to the previously undefeated odds-on Marine favorite Ford Every Stream.
"It was a short field, but I thought it was a very good field."
Anglian Prince is slated to make his next start in the $150,000 Plate Trial, a 1 1/8-mile race for Canadian-bred 3-year-olds here June 1. The $1 million Queen's Plate, at 1 1/4 miles, will be run June 23.
Gonetofarr will go as far as Oaks
Jockey Jim McAleney, who rode Anglian Prince for the first time Saturday, also has a Labatt Woodbine Oaks contender, Gonetofarr.
Winner of the seven-furlong Fury under McAleney on May 5, Gonetofarr bypassed Monday's Selene and is headed straight to the $500,000 Oaks, a 1 1/8-mile race for Canadian-bred 3-year-old fillies on June 8.
Gonetofarr, owned by George Farr and trained by Reade Baker, worked six furlongs in 1:14.80 on the main track Monday.
"She'll go a mile next week," said Baker, who caught the filly galloping out seven furlongs in 1:29.
Sweep foiled
Hardy, meanwhile, almost pulled off a weekend stakes sweep when Mysterious Affair was beaten a head against males in Sunday's New Providence.
A 5-year-old mare who was bred and is owned by Hardy, Mysterious Affair was returning to action one week after finishing a faltering fifth in the George C. Hendrie Handicap.
"I was almost scared," said Hardy. "She'd never run a bad race in her life before. I still don't have a clue whether it was the track, or the early speed. She just spit it out."
Hardy now will aim Mysterious Affair for the June 12 Ballade, a $125,000, six-furlong race for Ontario-sired fillies and mares that she won last year.
Sambuca gives Romano another first
Sambuca on Ice, who caught Mysterious Affair in the last jump of the New Providence, was the first horse owned by Frank Romano and now has become his first stakes winner.
"He'll have a three-week break now," said trainer Rita Schnitzler, who was sending out Sambuca on Ice for his third straight victory in his fourth outing of the season. "He's earned his keep for a little bit."
Romano has two other horses with Schnitzler, the 3-year-old colt Quarterback Draw and the 2-year-old Frankie's Fire.
Quarterback Draw was claimed for $10,000 here April 19 and won first crack out for $16,000 two weeks later.
Frankie's Fire, a son of Alphabet Soup, was purchased for $95,000 at the select yearling sale here last September.
Potential Plate horses on parade
Another potential Plate horse saw action on Saturday's undercard as Forever Grand, owned by Frank DiGiulio Jr. in partnership with trainer Bob Tiller, won his third race in as many starts this season.
Forever Grand won a second-level allowance at seven furlongs, his second straight win over that distance, and is slated to try two turns for the first time in the Plate Trial.
"We'll find out how far he can go," said Tiller. "I have a feeling he's a pretty good horse and it's a wide-open Plate; there are a lot of possibilities."
Shaws Creek and Adjalah, also headed to the Plate Trial, worked on the main track Saturday morning.
Winner of the seven-furlong Queenston for Jam Jar Racing Stable and trainer John Ross, Shaws Creek went seven furlongs in 1:30 under regular rider Jake Barton.
"He's never been a huge work horse," said Ross. "It was a nice, even work."
The exercise was not entirely uneventful, however, as Shaws Creek unseated Barton when he came onto the track, and ran off.
"He just ran down to the end of the chute, and they got him," said Ross. "He's just getting sharper and sharper."
Adjalah, winner of a seven-furlong entry-level allowance last time out for owner Les Pereira and trainer David Bell, breezed five furlongs in 1:02.40 under jockey Richard Dos Ramos.
Tacky Affair, headed to the Oaks following a third-place finish in the Fury for Bell and owners Mike and Nick Nosowenko, worked five furlongs in 1:02.20 Saturday under exercise rider Sarah Cohen.
"They both breezed nice," said Bell. "There was no big effort."
Bell has another candidate for the Oaks in Silver Nithi, who also is headed straight to the stakes after winning her maiden over 1 1/16 miles here June 11 for owners Dick and Jo Ellen Shaw.
"She seems to have come out of her race really well," said Bell. "I thought she was set to win, anyway, and it was a nice easy spot to win in."
* Jockey Emile Ramsammy will be sitting out this Friday through Sunday's programs after withdrawing his appeal of a suspension issued earlier this spring. Jim McAleney has been fined $500 for misuse of his whip during last Friday's eighth race. The stewards ruled McAleney had cut the horse on the flank.

Free internet for everyone via 4G mobile network?
Free internet sounds nice doesn't it? Unless you live next door to a pub and know their password, chances are, you won't get a connection for nothing.
However, free web and free calls on your mobile is being promised by one network and they're under the impression that other networks will follow the free model trend too.
"In a few years Internet access as a paid service won't exist any more', says the possibly mental Rodion Shishkov, of the VP Services of 4G telecoms company Yota.
"Rather than collect subscriptions from customers providers will make their money by charging third parties to use their networks to offer services to consumers like banking, music and video."
Shishkov adds that Yota, which has 4G networks in Russia and South America (launching in loads more places next year) will pioneer the free web in the next couple of years.
4G offers consumers data download speeds of up to 100 Mbps which pisses on 3G networks and should predictions that people will replace home broadband systems with 4G accessing tablets, laptops and phones come true, then networks could well offer consumer web access for free.
Initially, the free web will be rolled out in developing markets like Russia, Brazil, India and Africa, but it could easily stretch beyond that once the big guns get a sniff of what is going on.
Tech Digest note that Samsung and LG will offer LTE 4G phones in 2011 and that there are also rumours that the next generation of iPhone will be compatible with 4G networks.

- Nick T.In 1968, my gas fire was converted by Press from town gas to North Sea gas. The engineer told me that natural gas would be so cheap that they might not even charge for it, but make their profit on selling services instead. So excuse me for chortling at the prospect of free internet. What, like freeserve you mean? If providers can charge the public for something AND get money from "third parties to use their networks", they will, because that's two revenue streams for the price of one. In fact they might add another stream by charging you mug punters extra NOT to receive advertising, like Spotify. But in the mean time, if you do live next door to a pub the login is usually "admin" and try the name of the pub as the password.
- PhillMmm Freeserve was "free" all other ISP charged subs and the phone bill at the time Freeserve broke the mold. We benefit from cheap ISP's in this country they where at the forefront of that.
- WillCharging websites for providing information is a Bad Thing. That means big corporations would be able to rake in the customers, whereas non-profit and personal websites, such as Wikipedia or your favourite blog, would not be able to afford it.
- -]Freeserve wasn't the first free ISP, they were just one of the first big names to do it. There had even been a tiny free 0800 provider before freeserve, although they relied on advertising software being installed on the PC.

Following the trend for architects to enhance natural spacial light within a structure's internal environment, maintenance walkway systems are essential for servicing full height glazing to a building façade.
Solinear have developed a number of access walkway systems that can be supplied as modular or continuous in construction, manufactured from either galvanised mild steel or extruded aluminium sections to provide a cost effective solution to access requirements on any building.
As part of our solar shading product range, Solinear have developed an integrated "walk-on" access system that offers an attractive, lightweight, architectural access solution for building maintenance to the façade and solar shading elements.
Solway™ access systems can be used in conjunction with any of our Solex™ solar shading or Aquarius™ XLINE range of products and will provide a safe access portal to the building. When combined with our solar shading systems they can be designed to fully integrate with the shading support structure to enable a discreet, weathertight, simple structural interface back to the building via the glazed façade.
Solinear will design, manufacture and install access walkways to meet the client specification, expected use and loading requirements of the project.
Panel Construction
Our steel access walkway panels are fabricated using mild steel flats and rounds, pressure interlocked or welded to achieve the required performance. The walkways are galvanised after manufacture and can be supplied with this finish or alternatively, with a polyester powder coated finish.
Our aluminium access walkway panels are fabricated using extruded aluminium 'T' sections and 'Angles' clipped or bolted together to achieve the required performance. The walkways can be supplied with either a polyester powder coated or anodised finish.
All Solway™ access walkway systems are fully supported by independent structural design to current BS/EN standards and codes.

President Barack Obama spent a mere four minutes Wednesday addressing an Inspector General's report that concluded the IRS inappropriately targeted conservative and Tea Party groups.
Obama did not take any questions from reporters; he said he would at a press conference on Thursday. He announced the resignation of an acting IRS Commissioner, Steven Miller, who told colleagues that he was already slated to leave the agency in June.
"It is with regret that I will be departing from the IRS as my acting assignment ends in early June," Miller wrote in an email to colleagues on Wednesday. "This has been an incredibly difficult time for the IRS given the events of the past few days, and there is a strong and immediate need to restore public trust in the nation's tax agency."
Miller was informed of the IRS's scrutiny of conservative groups in 2012 and failed to report it to Congress.
Obama claimed to have found out about the IRS scandal when the public did, just as he claimed of the news that his Department of Justice collected phone records of AP reporters. Lois Lerner, the IRS official in charge of the division that oversees tax-exempt groups, conceded last Friday that the IRS had targeted groups whose names contained the words "Tea Party" and "Patriots." The White House general council's office had been informed on April 22 that the Inspector General was conducting an audit of the IRS, but the president claimed ignorance regardless.
On Monday, three days after Lerner's apology and admission, Obama still qualified his responses, saying, "if in fact IRS personnel engaged in the kind of practices that have been reported," then he would be upset.
On Tuesday, after the Inspector General released an audit that concluded the IRS used "inappropriate criteria that identified Tea Party and other organizations applying for tax-exempt status based upon their names or policy positions," Obama issued a statement in which he said he would direct Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to hold those responsible to account.
When he finally addressed the nation on Wednesday, Obama said his White House would "work with Congress as it performs its oversight role," though he warned Congress not to engage in activities that would "smack of politics or partisan agendas."
He also said he has instructed Lew to "ensure the IRS begins" to implement the Inspector General's recommendations to prevent such abuse in the future, echoing his Tuesday statement.
He gave a laundry list of what his administration would do–"hold the responsible parties accountable," "understand all the facts," "see how this happened and who is responsible," "institute new leadership that can help restore confidence going forward," "put in place new safeguards to make sure this kind of behavior cannot happen again," and "ensure the IRS begins implementing the [Inspector General's] recommendations right away."
Liberal Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank, who had once been a staunch ally, wrote Obama was an "uninterested" "passerby" in his presidency.
"I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency, but especially in the IRS, given the power that it has and the reach that it has into all of our lives," Obama said. "And as I said earlier, it should not matter what political stripe you're from — the fact of the matter is, is that the IRS has to operate with absolute integrity. The government generally has to conduct itself in a way that is true to the public trust. That's especially true for the IRS."

[2] I don't think agnosticism is a logical response. The logical answer is to find what can and does make sense, what is logical. If the universe is without ultimate meaning, then there is no point in looking for it. If the universe is without ultimate meaning, then there is no logic to it. Most worldviews seem to come at it as if there are sense and logic to be found. They look for sense and provide meaning that would not ultimately be there if their position were correct. If their position were true, there would be ultimate meaninglessness, no reason for logic.
[3] Find the correct answer that has sufficient evidence! There is only one!
With proof, no matter how reasonable it is, some will not believe.
[2] Show me a human being in history that can predict the future with 100% accuracy, in hundreds of prophecies, in some cases over hundreds or thousands of years, and they come to pass, as said. It is reasonable proof it is of God.
[3] The Bible gives us every reason to believe in God. You can make any excuse and give any unlikely explanation, but the Bible tells you it is the Word of God.
[4] Again, aliens are not the answer the Bible gives. If they are aliens, there is no reason to trust anything they have to say. They falsely disclosed they were something other than what they were.
[5] The evidence is there. What I continually hear from unbelievers is there is no evidence for God. I offer to show them there is and that it is reasonable and logical. They deny it without even hearing the evidence. They turn a blind eye, block their ears, close their hearts, and continue with their assumptions of no evidence.
I challenge you to show me the prophecies are vague by taking either the Olivet Discourse or Revelation as our example. The reason I take the Olivet address by Jesus is that it is a hub of prophecy that radiates out into many biblical books. The reason for choosing Revelation is that it contains more OT prophecy (fulfillment) than any other NT book.
I would also challenge you on another level. Show me it is reasonable to believe ANY NT book is written after A.D. 70.
Are you willing, or are your allegations all hot air?
[6] I have challenged those who doubt to refute 1) prophecy is true, 2) that it is not from God, 3) that it is not logical or reasonable to believe when looking at the evidence we have available.

Dana C. Davis (Big D), 75, of the Brand Hollow Road, Peru, died Thursday, November 16, 2017 at his home in the loving care of his family and Hospice of the North Country.
He was born in Plattsburgh, New York on May 22, 1942, the son of Truman and Helen (Lewis) Davis. Dana grew up in Peru and graduated from Peru Central School in 1960. Following graduation, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and proudly served his country until his honorable discharge in 1964. He later graduated from Champlain College of Burlington, Vermont with an Associate's Degree in business administration.
Dana started his professional career at IBM Essex Junction, VT where he worked for 10 years. But Dana felt the strong pull of the family business and moved home to Peru to work side by side with his father Truman as co-owner and operators of Davis Motor Sales, Inc. Davis Motor Sales was a centerpiece of the Town of Peru. Not only was it a place of business, it was a meeting place for family and friends alike. During that time and for many years after, it was very common to see local cars sporting the recognizable Davis Motor Sales sticker. After reluctantly selling the car dealership in 1990, Dana began a new career with Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in Rouses Point. He spent 10 years at Pfizer, and as was his trademark, he found himself meeting many new people and making equally as many new friends.
Beyond work, Dana served the community of Peru in the mid-nineties as a five-year member of the Peru Central School board of education. He believed strongly in providing the best possible education for the children of the community and worked hard on their behalf.
His primary passion was spending time with family. He enjoyed an idyllic marriage with his wife Dianne; they were truly best friends in life. Dana spent thousands of hours over the years at hockey rinks, race tracks, and countless other venues with his two boys Dana and Eric, who idolized him and considered him to be their hero. In his later years, Dana provided incredible love to his grandchildren whom all thought the world of him.
Dana's favorite hobbies were NASCAR, cruising the streets in his custom t-bucket, deer hunting, landscaping his property to perfection, and going out for coffee. Dana followed NASCAR closely and knew by memory the name of every NASCAR winner from 1968 forward. Many recall Dana and grandchildren cruising the Peru Fireman's Field Day parade in his t-bucket. He loved the solitude of the forest and spent many peaceful fall days in tree stands admiring nature and reveling in the sound of silence. During the warmer months, one could typically see "Big D" making the rounds on his riding lawnmower, ensuring that not a single blade of grass was out of place. Dana never met a coffee shop he didn't love. In these shops and on the social circuit he was a mainstay, chatting up with friends and enjoying life.
Dana was widely loved by all who met him. He had a magnetic personality and he lit up every room he entered. His smile, laughter, and many stories will be cherished and fondly remembered by all.
Left to cherish the memory of Dana are his wife of 50 years, Dianne (Giroux) Davis, who he married on February 11, 1967; his two sons, Dana Paul and wife, Tammy, and Eric "Fluff" Davis and companion, Christine Wood; beloved grandchildren, Dalton, Madison, Dane, Daxx, and Stevie; siblings, Roxy Davis and Gary Davis and wife Sarah; sister-in-law, Joanne Davis; and many in-laws, nieces and nephews.
In addition to his parents, he was predeceased by a brother, Ronald Davis.
Calling hours will be held Monday, November 20, 2017 from 5 to 7 PM. Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.
Donations in his memory may be made to the Elmore SPCA animal shelter.
Arrangements are in the care of the Hamilton Funeral Home, 294 Mannix Road, Peru, 643-9055.

Yay Friday!! Can't wait for Easter weekend! It's definitely going to be a busy one to say the least! It seemed like everyone on campus today was ready for Easter, sporting their floral, pastels and spring ready attire!
Fun Fact: These pictures were actually taken at 6:45am this morning hence why they have a gold colored lighting to them, also known as the "golden hour" for photography apparently. It is sad to admit but the hours from 4am-6am are the only hours I can put effort into anything other than college! Which is why you guys are so awesome for sticking around and visiting my blog! Totally appreciate it!! I want to do so much more but I have to remind myself to make "bite-sized goals.
I just cannot get enough of this skirt! 😀
It is flowy and comfy like a maxi skirt, but glamorous and girly like a ball gown!
Oh and did I mention it has pockets?!! Yes Please!
I decided on wearing just a simple basic black top to balance out the volume on the skirt!
The floral print on this skirt is so feminine and lady-like that call for a set of classy pearls!
Well that does it for today's post! Hope you have an awesome Easter weekend!!
If you have a question or just wanna chat I'm always available at email@example.com
Collaborations: email@example.com I'd love to review/recommend new shops!

Hi everyone,I'm currently working in one application and I was wondering if there is any event on outsystems to check the position when the scrolls stops.I know that outsystems has the event OnScrollEnding, but what I'm looking for is some event that is triggered whenever the user scrolls, so I can check the screen position.My goal is to mark some list items as read after they had been shown in the screen.Do you know any solution to this problem?Kind regards,
Armindo Carvalho
Hello Armindo,
I'm not aware of any action/event in OutSystems (for web development, at least), that is able to do what you wants.But you can do this relatively easy with jQuery.
You can use *scrollTop to find the position of the top of the page, inside a scroll()
$(window).scroll(function() {
You can use *scrollTop to find the position and than click on a hidden link to execute a screen action.
But I do not know if this will completely address what you wants to achieve.* It seems scrollTop does not work all the time... If it does not work you can try document.scrollingElement.scrollTop, that seems to work at least on Firefox and Chrome.But I didn't test this on a mobile application.

It's summer time! And that means you may be gearing up to travel with your little one for the first time. Here's what I've learned from traveling with our kids the past three years – though we certainly still have a lot to learn! We've got a busy summer, filled with planes and car rides ourselves so I need the refresher too. Though for this post, I'll just be covering airline travel… so here we go!
If you are going on a long haul flight with a baby under two, make sure to call and reserve a bassinet. You'll be put in the bulk head row, which gives you a extra room, plus a bassinet for your child to sleep in or stash whatever you want in. Giving your arms a break!
Book around naptime or bedtime if possible. This works for us, as the lull of the airplane engine seems to put them to sleep.
Before booking I always check out Seatguru.com and look up the actual aircraft of the flight I'm looking at booking. This will tell you which seats are best, where or if there's a changing table, and reviews from other travelers. If it's an airline I'm unsure of, I also check their rating airlineequality.com.
Packing tips for little ones:
First check what baggage is allotted for your infant/child on your airlines website. I've had flights where they are allowed their own bag, and some where I just get a diaper bag to carry on. Their site will also let you know what you are allowed to check free of charge – generally a stroller, and a carseat.
Packing cubes are great or even ziploc gallon bags work well for tiny clothes. I roll each outfit, including socks, and place them in the packing cube. I'm on the safer side accounting for two outfits a day for babies/toddlers, and then plenty of pajamas.
I always make sure to pack a little first aid kit that includes a thermometer, some medicines just in case, and bandaids.
I am obsessed with our Marpac DOHM white noise machine, and take it with me on every trip. There's even a travel version if you're often on the go.
Likely anywhere you're going, they are going to have diapers. So if you need the room, don't pack them. I usually pack mine, and use the space I have left over once they are used for souviners.
Typically most liquids/pumped milk is very easy to get through. Each bottle needs to be 3.5oz or smaller, and I just put it in a ziploc. I've only had them test it once, and that was just dusting the bottle.
What to wear on the flight:
Wear black. because– what stains? (; But also wear easy flats, so you can kick them off quick for security. A drapey cardigan can double as a cover or a blanket, a nursing tank if you are breast feeding, and some leggings. You can look fabulous when you get there, now is the time for easy and no fuss.
I generally put my babies in footed pajamas at the airport, because they will be sleeping at some point. Or on a long haul, I pack them with us and change into them at bedtime so there's some semblance of a routine happening. With older kids, I make sure all the clothes they have while traveling is comfortable.
Once you are at the airport:
Babies can sometimes give you special treatment and most people are understanding. But I also make sure to pour on a little extra sugar. There have been times just being nice and patient has scored me upgrades and better seats.
I put the baby in the carrier when I'm going through security. I'll probably even do this on our next flight and he'll be 15 months old and 25 pounds! It's just easier for us. You can bring the stroller through security, and right up to the gate to gate check. It'll be waiting for you when you land. My goddaughter is one and has been on over a dozen flights already. She has the Uppa Baby Vista stroller, and that has been so easy for travel. She has the car seat attachment on it, and on several occasions the flight hasn't been full, and she's gotten a seat all to herself in her cozy little car seat she loves.
What to pack in the diaper bag:
Here's an actual diaper bag I packed for my youngest son at 8 months for Panama …

|People feel pressured to be wired and accessible 24/7 which has consequences for personal life and family.
People are inherently competetive and don't want to give anything up.
People feel guilty if they feel they are not being productive.
People are used to high levels of stimulation.
We need balances of content and generic skills (find appropriate information, evaluate, edit, synthesize, commuicate results) individually and collaboratively.
People crave meaning in their lives!
They buy books, go to seminars, hire specialists for this.
|How do we help people deal with failure and disappointment?
How does the organization support its stakeholders while dealing with external deadline and expectations?
How do we all respond efficiently and with balance to various and increasing needs, mandates, and expectations?
How do we convince people that they will be more productive if they take time to reflect and engage?
How do we teach students to evaluate and synthesize?
