Fireclay Tiles An insight on the important factors and trends influencing the market 2024
Press Release • Aug 31, 2017 14:06 EDT
Fireclay tiles produced from fireclays, which are a range of refractory clays. Refractory clays or fireclays are employed in industries such as production of firebricks, tiles, and ceramic ware. Fireclay tiles are predominantly used in residential and commercial construction and manufacturing industries among others. Fireclay possesses properties such as sustainability at high temperature as well as under high chemical and thermal stress. Fireclay tiles are highly energy-efficient and possess low thermal conductivity. As a result, fireclay tiles are typically used in high temperature applications. Increasing demand for fireclay tiles in industries such as residential and commercial construction and manufacturing across various regions worldwide is projected to drive the global fireclay tiles market in the next few years.
Browse Market Research Report: http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/fireclay-tiles-market.html
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing market for fireclay tiles in the next few years chiefly due increasing demand for fireclay tiles in emerging countries in Asia such as China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Besides this, countries such as Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Israel have been witnessing rapid growth in the residential and commercial construction and manufacturing industries in the past few years. There is significant growth potential for the construction and infrastructure industry in countries such as Qatar, India, China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Brazil due to rapid infrastructure development taking place in these nations. Furthermore, countries such as Brazil and Qatar are hosting giant events such as Olympics and the FIFA World Cup in the next few years as well as developing numerous state-of-the-art stadiums and other infrastructure projects for these events. Hence, demand for construction-related products is expected to increase considerably in the next few years. This, in turn, would drive demand for fireclay tiles significantly in these emerging nations. Rapidly growing construction and manufacturing industries across the globe, especially in emergent countries, is anticipated to drive the global fireclay tiles market in the next few years. In addition, countries in the U.S. and Europe are steadily recovering from an economic crisis. All these factors are creating a positive outlook for the global industrial scenario. As a result, manufacturing and construction industries are anticipated to witness substantial growth in the next few years. Hence, demand for fireclay tiles is projected to increase significantly in the next few years. Furthermore, construction and manufacturing industries are likely to witness strong growth in rapidly emerging nations such as China, India, and Brazil. Rising demand for fireclay tiles in industries such as residential and commercial construction and industrial manufacturing in different regions across the globe, especially in emergent countries, is anticipated to drive the global fireclay tiles market in the next six years. Major players operating in the fireclay tiles market are chiefly focused on developing economies for tapping their large market potential. These companies are installing massive production facilities in developing countries to fulfill rapidly rising demand for fireclay tiles in various end-user industries including manufacturing and construction. Therefore, the global fireclay tiles market is projected to experience significant growth in the next six years.

2017 Acura MDX based on the information that we get will be released and launched in the early or mid of year or in 2017. The new model will appear more attractive than ever. 2017 MDX will have a new exterior and interior design that is fresher, more aggressive and very modern, and it is expected that the car will have many takers. Advances in technology will probably change the gadgets that are on the car. No information about the possible changes, but we believe it is likely that the car will be better in the market.
Engine and Performance
MDX is a product of mid-size luxury crossover. It is regarded as one of the most popular models of this brand. The original models were designed in 2001. It means that we already have 3 generations. 2013 is the last time we could see its latest design. The new model comes with a lot of new things and refinement. After several years, it looks like the company is preparing several updates. According to recent reports, the so-called mid-cycle refresh is planned for next year. Fresh models are expected to come as the 2017 Acura MDX.
2017 Acura MDX will get some styling changes bold new grille to refresh the display. Overall dimensions are the same. It looks very strong and dominant. Full-size SUV gets an update on the infotainment.
Exterior and Safety
2017 Acura MDX is designed with a crispy exterior and no major changes offered. This is mentioned by several reliable sources that the car is more dominant as a crossover. Some advantages that may be offered include a redesigned grille and headlight to complete the body shape that is maintained from its predecessor. The design is very up to date with more powerful and stylish appearance. Rumors also mention that the interior of the car will get some changes. It is equipped with the new cabin. There are also a few improvements to put your gadget to make it more advanced.
SUV segment is growing, and branches Honda offers a luxury vehicle. Although the 2017 Acura MDX will be redesigned, the new generation of vehicles will come after 2020. However, the change of interest applied, bringing a more aggressive exterior, under the hood, the same power plants must be installed, so it gets the same result. However, modernization of the structure of the body can lose weight overall, so that weight loss can lead to a better level of mpg for new model.

And so we arrive at the reason why I decided to start posting reviews here: The Noughts & Crosses series by Malorie Blackman. I am halfway in and boy, do I have a lot to say about it. Before I begin, here are 3 things you should know.
- I read Noughts & Crosses (retitled to Black and White) a few years ago, loved it, and then re-read it at the end of last year. I read Knife Edge about a week ago.
- I got these books from the library, and when it's time to return Knife Edge I will get the rest of the series (if they are available of course).
- It is impossible to express my thoughts about Knife Edge without giving some BIG spoilers to the events of Noughts & Crosses. You have been warned!
The Premise
Noughts & Crosses is an unconventional YA book that portrays a sort of dystopian Earth in which apartheid is back with a twist- Black people (Crosses) are superior and white people (noughts) are treated as scum. The story begins with two friends; Sephy, an affluent young black girl and Callum- the (white) son of her family's former domestic worker.
Sephy and Callum are best friends who wish to exist in a world where their bond is not scorned. They like each other, you see, but it's impossible to have a functioning relationship with all the racism in the world. Callum is in chains, Sephy doesn't know the meaning of the struggle. They are colour-blind, but the rest of the world is not. They are star- crossed, and the story is about their rebellion.
But it's not just that. The noughts are trying to bring about a revolution, but Sephy's dad is a politician. Their worlds are dead-set against each other, and their friendship is a conflict of interest. They are soon driven apart by the impending race war and from then on the story just plummets into an abyss so deep and so dark I don't think my soul will ever truly know what sunshine feels like again.
This story is grim as fuck. It is depressing. It physically hurts. Thank you so much Malorie, thank you for damaging my soul.
The Continuation… (Spoilers now!)
Knife Edge takes place after the shock ending of (SPOILER OKAY) Callum's death by hanging for impregnating Sephy in the first book. Callum's brother, Jude, has a vendetta against her now because he blames her for the execution and so, Jude's POV replaces what was once Callum's.
Sephy, alone with a new baby at the fresh age of 18, has given up her wealthy family life to try to go at it alone, but she doesn't have a clue about how to be a mother, and her heart still hurts from Callum's death. It is about the recovery (or lack thereof) that both Jude and Sephy have to go through. Jude, a very racist young man, finds himself falling for a Cross girl and Sephy moves into the nought community to raise her mixed- race baby girl with Callum's mom.
It sounds simple enough, right?
It's not. It is fucking not.
As I read this, I thought "Damn, this book is boring". By the time I finished it- right at the end- the little sunshine I had left in my soul had gone away. This book's climax is soul- crushing.
I cannot wait to see how it's resolved in the next one.
But Still… Meh.
I LOVE this story. I REALLY do, but there are some things I just can't look past. I am not the hugest fan of YA and most of my criticisms for it stem from grievances I have with the genre- not necessarily this tale or Malorie Blackman.
First things First;
Why Beat Around the Bush?
The single most annoying thing about this series is the use of "noughts" and "Crosses" to label the races. I am South African, and although I never got full blast of apartheid I know all about it. It's what my country was built on.
I understand that it's a brilliant play on words, but, in the real world racism is not a silly game. I understand we have gotten to a level where a moron celebrity is the president of the USA and anything is possible, but I just can't picture a time in which people would be categorized that way. It felt as though the severity of it all was dampened- ridiculed almost.
I can't take it seriously every time a black person is called a Cross, or when Christmas is referred to as Crossmas. It's just too ridiculous, and it makes me cringe. I think the story would be a million times more profound if it wasn't simplified this way.
Knife Edge Feels Like a Filler
I have already established that Knife Edge hurt me. It hurt me so bad! But compared to its predecessor in which Sephy is actually a strong lead, Knife Edge is very… Whiny. I LOVED Jude in it, and wish he featured more because the book served as insight into his purpose, his mind-set, his fears and his confusion.
Sephy on the other hand… Just whines. And whines. And whines.
I understand she has a baby to look after and no money to do so.
I understand she is afraid, lost and heartbroken.
But something about her was watered down. She is no longer an intelligent, brave misfit. Now she's a girl who talks about her sparkling shirts and how she hopes they don't show off too much boob. I didn't like her in this story at all. It's like her maturity vanished, when it should have strengthened. It sucks.
Nothing Happens…
Two exciting things happen in Knife Edge. Jude does something terrible in the middle and Sephy does something even worse at the end. The rest, as I said, is air. I could be wrong (because I haven't completed the series) but I do believe that Knife Edge could easily have been a novella like An Eye for an Eye. Most of this story felt unnecessary and therefore, dull.
But it's Still Great!
Complaints out of the way, here are the things I adore about it:
It Challenges
YA story about pretty little white girl who has to take down the system on her own because reasons? Let's turn it into a multi-million dollar movie franchise and worship the unjustified heroes they are about.
YA story about pretty little black girl who becomes a teen mom to a mixed- race baby in a world where mixed- race babies shouldn't exist? Oh sure, let's ignore that one.
Noughts & Crosses has increased in popularity and is finally starting to get the recognition it deserves, but it will never be your average YA cup of tea because in many uncomfortable ways it breaks the YA mould. These teenagers are actually believable. Do you know how rare that is? This story is a gem.
It's Real and Will Hit Some Nerves
We all enjoy stories about sci- fi dystopian futures in which the world tore itself apart and now lives in a state of oppression as punishment. It's a formula that works no matter how tired it may be. In the Hunger Games people are divided by industry (and therefore wealth). In Divergent the factions represent personality.
Chances are we will never get to a point where the miners live in one district and the fishermen in the other never to cross paths unless our kids have to kill each other for entertainment. Likewise we will never be split into the hippies, the nerds, the judges, the soldiers, and the selfless and still find a way to live in harmony until some super villain stirs some shit.
But we do live in a world where people are racist all the time, and we actively separate ourselves according to our skin colour.
This series is not a great sci- fi idea. This book is a reflection of the world as it is. We can't ignore that.
It Will Break Your Heart
It's just… that… sad. Not the fluffy, typical YA sad where death is either glorified, romanticized or overlooked. It's the sort of sad that will haunt you for years.
So, the Verdict So Far…
Noughts & Crosses is brilliant, and I rate it 4/5. Knife Edge… Not so much. It gets 3/5.
7/10 combined is not bad at all. Read it.
Read it and weep.
And so my reviews for 2017 are up to date. I plan to read the rest of the series sometime next week, as I said when I return to the library. I will keep you updated!

Bruce Springsteen could release a new album in January 2014, according to reports.
Rolling Stone have published a story which states a new album by The Boss will be released "early next year", while Billboard goes one further, saying the full-length release could come "as early as January". No official announcement has been made by Springsteen or his representatives.
However, they have confirmed that Springsteen will release a new single, High Hopes, on Monday. The track is a new version of a song by US rock band The Havalinas which Springsteen previously covered on his 1996 Blood Brothers EP.
It features former Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello on guitar. Springsteen and the E Street Band performed the track live with Morello in Sydney earlier this year.
Springsteen's next album will be the follow up to 2012's Wrecking Ball, which reached number one on the UK album chart, becoming his eighth album to do so.
After the album's release, Springsteen embarked on an 18-month, 133-date world tour. He performed at last year's Isle of Wight Festival, and later that summer was cut off mid-song while performing an encore with Paul McCartney during a show at London's Hyde Park. He returned to the UK earlier this year for several more dates, including a headline slot at Hard Rock Calling.
Earlier this month first-year students at Rutgers University in New Jersey were encouraged to sign up for a one semester course in "Bruce Springsteen's Theology".

Despite myself insisting I'd wake up to say goodbye to Damien, Cathy + the girls, I just kept a-snoozing and they decided it was best to let me be. I was a little sad that I didn't get to hug goodbye (well, they actually kiss here – this has been something I expected but, being politely British, this is still taking some getting used to 😉 ) – but, upon awakening and slugging my way through to the kitchen, I saw that I had my own place set-up for me!
In-fact, I've asked Damien to send me some jars back to Scotland in exchange for some Scottish Tablet + Shortbread! 😀
When we initially met, Damien, Cathy and I spoke for a good while into the night and we ended up onto the subject of the fear of trusting strangers and just apprehension of committing to decisions in general.
I live by the motto, ' Choose Love, not Fear.' – and Damien + Cathy found this so interesting that they wrote it on their kitchen blackboard – Woohoo! 🙂
I forgot to take a photo of it, but Damien has a huge collection of International and domestic bottlecaps from as far out as Japan to America pressed into his kitchen wall tiles – it's an incredible idea! Just get some tile cement, smooth it over alternative tiles (or just don't add a tile) then press all of the bottle caps into the cement in pattern. He also had some Brewdog bottlecaps, that's a Scottish Brewery based in Ellon, near Aberdeenshire! 😀
This is where I dried my clothes the night before. Also, check out the gnarly wooden Kenyan cross X chair – all hand carved!
Can't forget Johnny Cask 😉
The Dropkick Murphys apparently come to Belgium too.
I always leave a note for my host's if I don't see them before I leave…
– this one included my address for CHOCOLATE. I think this guy would like some too.
My host's had a wonderful aptitude to re-using things – HOW COOL ARE THESE BATHROOM SHELVES?!
I left number 24 with a heart full of excitement, love and wellbeing. 🙂
I'm not actually sure this is one, but it's the only photo I have of this street – there were stripper bars everywhere just by the border of Luxembourg – kinda funny. ^_^
Sensational solar panels. Has to be said.
LUXEMBOURG HAD NO SIGN SAYING 'Welcome to Luxembourg'. – SO I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE FIRST FLAG INSTEAD.
I seemed to stop taking pictures right about here, so I may as well just say that I waddled onwards to Luxembourg City, met with my brilliant host's Mike and Carlos – freaked the funk out when I realised my train was cancelled (more on that later) – but then met it with a solution based mindset and slept soundly ready to hop up for the mornings travel!

If media headlines on the declining quality of students being produced by America's public education system ever get you down, take a trip to the Binghamton University campus of the State University of New York, or SUNY. You will be surprised at what you find: confident, bright, engaged, and inquisitive students who are aware of the world around them, and not afraid to express their opinions. These students get superb education for around $5,000 a year!
I recently had the pleasure of speaking to a group of 24 students from SUNY's Binghamton University and Stony Brook University campuses. They were part of a program underwritten by the Jewish Foundation for Education of Women. The non-sectarian foundation provides scholarships to enable New York women to pursue carreers in certain fields; at SUNY the funds underwrite education in International Relations and Global Affairs, the topic I'd been invited to address.
I speak regularly to business, military and academic audiences, and must confess to a bit of apprehension when SUNY asked if I would engage with this group at the end of a class day, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Would these young students -- SUNY juniors, mostly -- really want to focus for three hours on a topic that glazes the eyes of even graduate students? I needn't have worried.
After my 50 minute monologue I found myself rolling into a wide-ranging discussion that was as intense and informed as any I've had in New York City, Boston or Washington, D.C. Why are we still taught from birth that America is the forever exceptional nation, a student asked? (Most of the class felt this notion was an aberration that belonged to the last century.) The rise of Asia, especially China; the necessity of America's involvement in Libya; money in politics; the Obama foreign policy scorecard; the relevance of NATO in an age when most college students have no idea of the Cold War; and America's role in the Middle East, were some of the topics subjected to lively debate. What does "leading from behind" in Libya mean, a perplexed student asked to much laughter. (P.S.: I've never been able to understand this term, and have it on good authority that President Obama was quite miffed when he heard it!) At least two of the participants were going to study Arabic, an inspired decision given the paucity of Arabic speakers in the State Department.
At dinner with a couple of the students I was struck with how rooted in reality they were. "Most of us come from working, middle-class families," one of my dinner companions told me. She'd come to SUNY not only because her parents were unable to pay for an Ivy League college but because they did not want their daughter to owe tens of thousands of dollars upon graduation. "Sure, I cried a bit as some of my friends went off to those colleges," she told me. But after two years at SUNY she knows that she is getting an undergraduate education equal to and perhaps even better than anything an expensive college provides. And the low tuition at SUNY will give her a huge career and life-style advantage as newly minted graduates battle the continuing economic recession and joblessness.
It was one of the most inspiring three hours I'd spent in quite a while. If these state-university students were any indication, the country will be in very capable hands when they take charge.

USDA hay market reports have NOT been available during the government shut-down.
Follow common sense precautions in making on-line contacts and transactions. People also use Craig's list and similar website market tools to buy and sell hay.
Agricultural newspapers and local shoppers and community newspapers continue to be good tools for advertising "hay for sale" or "hay wanted".
People who need to purchase hay and other livestock feeds should be shopping early and working closely with nutrition advisors to make the best of resources with different groups of livestock.
Please continue to encourage a SAFE fall harvest.

We start with our handmade, wood-treated frame which has been tested to stand up to the harshest of elements, be it rain, intense sun and heat, cold weather, ocean moisture damage, or standing ground water. All wood for exterior use is weatherproofed with a protective clear finish, which is designed for wood that is exposed to sunlight, water, or temperature changes. This finish forms a protective barrier against rain and moisture and its special oils allow the finish to expand and contract with the wood as seasons and temperatures change.
The fabrics we use have also been tested to withstand all outdoor climates, as well as stains caused by beverages and food. In addition to a variety of Sunbrella and Bella Dura solution-dyed acrylic fabric brands that are designed for outdoor use, we use marine-grade vinyl, the same used on yachts and boats, which does not fade or crack and can withstand the chemicals used in pools and spas. These are easy to maintain (see clean and care instructions) and come in a variety of patterns and textures.
Our signature cushions and pillows are filled with Dryfast Foam and marine grade thread designed for outdoor use. All hardware such as staples, screws, and snaps are all stainless steel metal to keep our product lasting longer without the worry of rust.

The original design of the Internet was hierarchical, consisting of an access, distribution, and core network. Clients would connect to access networks, including fixed line, cellular, and WiFi, in order to reach content and applications hosted on the Internet. Subscriber traffic would transit one or more core network, depending on where the content and applications resided.
As the Internet has grown, however, content and applications have migrated to the network edge. One such example - Content Distribution Networks (CDNs) - hosts images and videos on behalf of Internet destinations and content providers. CDNs may be provided by operators themselves, third parties, and content providers and aggregators (i.e., Netflix Open Connect, Google Global Cache). These CDNs have increasingly peered directly with access network operators in order to improve subscriber experience. Other low latency application providers, such as Voice over LTE (VoLTE), video conferencing, voice-based search and navigation applications, have followed suit, building data centers or deploying local servers closer to access networks.
IoT and Vertical Applications Driving a New Mobile Edge
With the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), new applications and services are expected to benefit from deployment at the network edge. Vertical applications, such as those enabling Connected Vehicles, and applications that deliver experiences based on real-time interactions with devices, such as augmented reality are expected to benefit from not just low-latency, but the improved bandwidth inherent in residing in closer proximity to subscribers.
Such is the case with the growing trend to bring cloud to the edge of the mobile networks. And not just the current mobile edge, in the S/Gi-LAN, post-packet core. In December 2014, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) established an Industry Specification Group (ISG) on Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) to develop a standardized, open environment that allows for the efficient and seamless integration of third-party applications across multi-vendor platforms. The MEC ISG is developing terminology, service scenarios, technical requirements (including use cases and their benefits) and a framework and reference architecture, with future plans to work on platform services, APIs and interfaces for a node that resides between the eNodeB and the EPC.
Brocade's Role In The New Mobile Edge
Brocade has been participating in this working group since the second half of 2015, and has unique capabilities applicable to the mobile edge virtual infrastructure, including the Brocade 5600 vRouter. Note that the mobile edge virtual infrastructure is different from the Mobile Edge Platform (provided through partnership) identified in the ETSI MEC architecture work – Brocade's capabilities fit squarely in the Virtualization Infrastructure identified by ETSI MEC, upon which the Mobile Edge Platform and Mobile Edge Applications reside.
In addition:
By pushing IT and cloud-computing capabilities in the Radio Access Network (RAN) as close to the mobile subscriber as possible, MEC puts intelligence, applications, and content closer to devices and their users. The result is a low latency, high bandwidth environment capable of improving service experience. Operating on individual servers or in a cloud-based services environment at the edge of the mobile network, Brocade mobile edge virtual infrastructure capabilities:
Brocade's approach to the mobile edge virtual Infrastructure is unique, while still delivering the capabilities and requirements to Mobile Edge Platform and applications. The approach simultaneously integrates in multiple operator domains – the backhaul network, operator NFV, and the cloud:
The following diagram highlights Brocade's approach to the mobile edge versus the current industry perspective.
Developing a Mobile Edge Platform
Brocade believes MEC will play a key role in future generation networks, specifically as 5G network technology standards are defined and the continued growth of the Internet of Things (IoT)/Machine-to-Machine (M2M) services, and other analytics-driven services create increased network congestion and the need for real-time data processing. Technology improvements, including low latency, better flexibility, agility, use of virtualization, network and context awareness, and more can provide the opportunity to increase the quality of experience of end users and make network operations more cost-effective and competitive.
In addition, Brocade is working with leading Mobile Edge service and application developers to integrate their technology with Brocade mobile edge virtual infrastructure capabilities. Specifically, Brocade is working with ACS, PeerApp, Saguna Networks, and Vasona. We'd like to take a moment to let each of these vendors tell you about themselves, in their own words.
PeerApp provides software-defined solutions for acceleration, monetization and visualization of video and Web content delivery, today deployed across more than 500 service provider networks world-wide.
PeerApp's MEC product allows MNOs to deploy and manage content-rich mobile edge, delivering popular video and Web content in high proximity to mobile subscribers.
The Edge Caching capabilities of the platform address the following mobile network pain points:
The CDN Extension capability enables virtualized multi-tenant hosting of 3rd party CDNs and content services at the content-rich mobile edge.
Finally, PeerApp's Online Monetization framework protects MNOs' revenues by integrating the mobile edge content delivery into existing Policy Control and Charging infrastructure in an integration-free, fully 3GPP compliant way.
By joining forces with Brocade, PeerApp expects to benefit from Brocade's best-of-breed New IP platform capabilities - shortening time to RAN footprint insertion, while demonstrating a practical path towards realizing broader MEC vision of standard-based multi-service mobile access cloud.
Saguna Open-RAN:
Saguna Open-RAN is the most advanced MEC platform in the market today. Based on the ETSI MEC standard, the virtualized software platform offers services to MEC applications such as Virtual Probes, IoT Backend Gateways and Content Delivery Networks (CDN).
MEC services provided by Saguna Open-RAN:
Since its founding, Vasona Networks has developed and provided solutions for better mobile user experiences, capacity and resource utilization, now deployed with Tier1 mobile network operators benefiting millions of users. Vasona key principles include:
Vasona recently announced our SmartAIR Edge Services Platform (ESP), which provides essential platform functionality available to 3rd party and Vasona network applications. We are active participants across multiple industry initiatives, speeding the pace of innovation and and virtualization along with our partners and customers. 2016 is a momentous year of expanding mobile flexibility and opportunity. Key platform functionality, like location mapping of UEs to cells, traffic classification and steering, and real-time congestion detection by cell and by app, will become available for incorporation by third party network application developers.

Your First Visit
At Sam Kadan Orthodontics, we understand that we only have one chance to make a great first impression. During your first visit, we take the time to help you see why we are the leading orthodontic practice in the Bucks County and Philadelphia area.
What Happens During My First Visit?
At many orthodontic practices, the treatment process begins with a rather clinical experience. You check in, fill out paperwork and then are taken to an examination room. Board-certified orthodontist Dr. Sam Kadan and his staff want to be more than another orthodontic practice; we want to be your home for all of your orthodontic treatments.
During your first visit, we introduce you to our facility and staff in a way that helps you feel comfortable, welcome and confident in your choice of orthodontists. Our treatment coordinator takes you on a tour of the facility. You then meet with one of our clinical assistants for X-rays and a three-dimensional model of your teeth with our advanced iTero® Element™ system. Shortly after, you meet with Dr. Kadan for an examination, and he reviews the X-rays and model from the iTero® Element™ system. The discussion includes his findings, orthodontic issues and recommended treatments. The consultation lasts one hour.
The Consultation
You should bring the following information to your consultation appointment:
- The "New Patient" forms
- Dental insurance card and information about any other orthodontic coverage
- Panoramic X-rays completed within the last six months (your dentist can send these electronically or give you the actual X-rays)
The consultation with Dr. Kadan is a perfect time to evaluate your comfort and confidence with him as a board-certified orthodontist. Working with the most qualified orthodontist has little benefit if you do not feel at ease with the individualized approach to patient care. Some questions that you may want to ask Dr. Kadan are:
- Can my condition be corrected with orthodontic treatment?
- What treatments do you recommend and why?
- What is your experience with treating my condition?
- Should I have treatment now, or can I wait? What are the advantages and disadvantages of having treatment now or later?
- Do you need to extract any teeth? If so, how many and why?
- How long will the treatment plan take?
- What are the potential problems that I may experience during my treatment, and how will those problems be resolved?
- Who do I contact you if I have questions?
- How much will the treatment cost?
- How can I pay for my treatment?
Follow-Up Appointments
As part of your treatment process, you may need a follow-up appointment after your consultation. These appointments are typically needed for patients with more advanced problems or unique findings. The time between the appointments allows Dr. Kadan to closely examine the X-rays, iTero® Element™ model, other diagnostics and your dental records. Dr. Kadan will also use the time to develop your individualized treatment plan that he will review during the second appointment. By allowing him more time to consider your case, we believe that you receive the superior care and results you deserve.
Dr. Kadan may recommend placing your child on our growth guidance program. The program includes periodic appointments to monitor progress in cases where the natural development pattern is unclear. By providing you with this option, Dr. Kadan minimizes the risk of intervening too early and performing treatments that may not have been critical. The program saves you time and money by providing early treatment when needed or avoiding unnecessary treatment.
What to Expect from Your Orthodontic Treatment Process
Your first days with braces are the most challenging and you may not know what to expect. After a week or two, you will be completely adjusted to your braces. Here is what you should expect during the initial stages of your orthodontic treatment process:
- Soreness
- Loose brackets
- Changes to the foods you eat
- No more chewing gum
- New techniques for proper oral hygiene
You will experience some mild to moderate soreness and tenderness for a few days after your braces are installed and after each adjustment. Non-prescription pain medications and warm compresses will help with the symptoms. You should avoid ibuprofen and aspirin because these medications can slow down the shifting of the teeth. After reviewing your medical history, Dr. Kadan will recommend a pain-relief regimen that is right for you.
Loose Brackets
The brackets of your braces may loosen or not adhere to your teeth correctly. This may be caused by your activities, such as contact sports or the foods that you are eating. In rare cases, the adhesive that is used does not properly hold the bracket in place. A quick follow-up appointment is all that is needed to repair the bracket.
Foods to Avoid
Eating hard foods may break a wire or bracket, and sticky foods are difficult to clean from your braces. Tooth decay is another concern, so you should avoid foods and beverages that are high in sugar. Chewing on hard objects and biting your nails may also break the wires and brackets.
Gum Chewing
If you like to chew gum, you should only use gum that contains xylitol, a special sweetener that is proven to prevent cavities. Because the sweetener has some oral health benefits, Dr. Kadan encourages his patients to start buying xylitol-based gums. The products are widely available at grocery and convenience stores.
Oral Hygiene
The most important part of your treatment process is practicing good oral hygiene. Wearing braces makes brushing and flossing more challenging, so Dr. Kadan will give you step-by-step instructions and time to practice in our office. You can also review the information on our Oral Hygiene page.
How Much Does Orthodontic Treatment Cost in Bucks County and Philadelphia?
We want you to feel confident and excited about wearing braces after your first visit and every visit thereafter. We understand that knowing the cost of orthodontic treatment is an important consideration for you and your family. After your consultation with Dr. Kadan, we will have the details we need to provide a complete cost, including the portion that is covered by your insurance and your out-of-pocket costs.
Payment can be made by:
- Cash, personal check and credit card
- Financing through CareCredit®
- In-house financing options
We are an in-network provider for many of today's top dental insurance companies. Using an orthodontist that is in your dental care network benefits you by:
- Providing lower out-of-pocket expenses
- Saving you time and money by completing and filing all necessary claim forms at no extra charge to you
- Accepting the payment we negotiate with the insurance company as payment in full
- Never sending you a bill for the charges that are above the negotiated rate, known as balance billing
- Expecting you to only pay your applicable co-payment, deductible and co-insurance according to the terms of your policy
- Letting you pay only for your portion rather than expecting you to pay the full cost and get reimbursed by the insurance company
What to Expect During Your Consultation
The consultation that you have with Dr. Kadan is the first step of your treatment process. The appointment includes a complete examination, X-rays and imaging with the iTero® Element™ system that creates a three-dimensional model of your teeth and jaw. Based on his findings, Dr. Kadan decides on the orthodontic treatments that will improve jaw and teeth alignment. Your treatment plan may include orthognathic surgery, braces, and other orthodontic appliances.
Why Choose Sam Kadan Orthodontics
Dr. Kadan is a board-certified orthodontist, and only one in three orthodontists pursue board certification by demonstrating a commitment to excellence in orthodontic care, as well as continuing education. Dr. Kadan's exceptional patient care has earned him a position on Philadelphia Magazine's list of Top Dentists for 2016, winner of the 2016 Happening List and 2015 designation as an Invisalign® Elite Provider. He completed his orthodontic specialty training at the University of Rochester, and he currently holds a faculty position at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine to help develop the skills and expertise of future orthodontists.
Dr. Kadan has designed his facility to reflect his approach to patient care, and we look forward to giving you a tour as part of your consultation and introduction to our practice.
Now that you have read about the treatment process at Sam Kadan Orthodontics, we invite you to schedule a consultation with board-certified orthodontist Dr. Sam Kadan. Contact us today to set up an appointment at our Chalfont, Doylestown or Harleysville office.

The Abbott led Australian govt. has declared war on many vulnerable pensioners. Thousands of age pensioners (mainly men) live with foreign spouses in Asia and other third world locales. There they can live in reasonable comfort on the meagre govt. handout, whereas as in Australia they would probably being looking in garbage cans for something to eat.
Without any public announcement, the federal govt. has suddenly halved the age pensions of those Australians living abroad with a foreign spouse. I know of one case where a 72 year old man, who has a forty-something Thai wife, has had his pension halved. Not only does his wife not earn any money but he has to keep her and her relatives. Faced with the halving of the pension he has no other choice but to get divorced.
This scenario is likely to be repeated across many couples in Asia and beyond. It is obvious that the current Australian govt. only cares about one thing; money. It is also expects the poor and the vulnerable to provide it. It, and its partner in 'crime' the Newman led Queensland state govt. don't give a fig about society or the environment. At present they want to establish a huge coal port on the edge of the Great Barrier Reef and dump the dredgings within the confines of the marine park!https://cassandradoom.wordpress.com/?p=311&preview=true
Human existence is about three fundamental things; the environment, society and economy. The environment is of first importance as without it nothing will prosper or even survive. Society is next in importance as humans are social creatures and need to live in a reasonable world. Economy is also important but comes third. Unfortunately the world's leaders seem to have reversed the order of importance of these three things.

Based on the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) 2012 Recommendations, reporting institutions are required to apply enhanced due diligence measure to business relationships and transactions with customers from high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions.
Additionally, where the FATF makes a call on its members and other jurisdictions to apply counter measures on a high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdiction having strategic AML/CFT deficiencies, reporting institutions must apply the appropriate countermeasures to customers from such jurisdiction.
To this end, the FATF issues Public Statements three times a year highlighting jurisdictions that are identified as high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions as well as measures and steps to be taken in dealing with customers from such jurisdictions.
For ease of reference of reporting institutions, the relevant Public Statements are as follows:
1. FATF Public Statement – 24 June 2016
- The FATF reaffirmed its call on its members and other jurisdictions to apply countermeasures against the DPRK.
- In view of Iran's adoption of, and high-level political commitment to, an Action Plan to address its strategic AML/CFT deficiencies, and its decision to seek technical assistance in the implementation of the Action Plan, the FATF has suspended counter-measures against Iran for twelve months. The FATF, therefore, called on its members and urges all jurisdictions to continue to advise their financial institutions to apply enhanced due diligence to business relationships and transactions with natural and legal persons from Iran, consistent with FATF Recommendation 19.
2. FATF Public Statement – 19 February 2016
- The FATF reaffirmed its call on its members and other jurisdictions to apply countermeasures against Iran and the DPRK.
- Myanmar had been removed from the FATF Public Statement pursuant to recognition of improvements made to their AML/CFT regime.
3. The following public statements also reaffirmed FATF's call on its members and other jurisdictions to apply countermeasures against Iran and the DPRK, and called on its members to consider risks arising from deficiencies associated with each jurisdiction listed in them: i. FATF Public Statement – 23 October 2015 ii. FATF Public Statement – 26 June 2015 iii. FATF Public Statement – 27 February 2015 iv. FATF Public Statement – 24 October 2014 v. FATF Public Statement – 27 June 2014 vi. FATF Public Statement – 14 February 2014
*Public statements issued prior to 2014 can be found on the FATF's website at http://www.fatf-gafi.org/publications/high-riskandnon-cooperativejurisdictions/?hf=10&b=0&s=desc(fatf_releasedate.
**The list of higher-risk countries is updated periodically and available on the FATF's website at http://www.fatf-gafi.org/topics/high-riskandnon-cooperativejurisdictions/.

Crusader: a person who campaigns vigorously
A few weeks ago, a very precious friend called me with a report that she was "still pregnant" and, thus, rather overdue. "But," she said in her sage-like voice, "I decided to just live with patience and to accept the situation," one that tipped precariously between her desire to experience a VBAC and the inevitability of a more medical birth as each day went by.
And, normally, I'd have agreed with her. I'd have nodded my head and repeated back to her the idea that the baby would come when she was ready and that there was nothing she could do. I'd embrace a gentle acceptance too.
But, something came over me as she spoke and I imagined her sitting in a group of elders in some sort of indigenous tribe. It suddenly occurred to me that that group of elders wouldn't have sat there and said, "Be patient." No, they would have moved immediately into drawing the wild, strong wolf from within this woman. They would not have asked her to be patient. They would have known it was time to let that little spirit inside her get the message that it was go-time. For the sake of survival, they'd embrace the primal over patience.
My dear friend heard that same message. And, who knows, perhaps the deviation from patience and acceptance was the cause for her water to break the very next day.
A few weeks after that, I was leading one of our Share the Show Up outreach programs at Santa Maria hostel, a group of women required to participate in a 90-day recovery program for a variety of real deal, holy crap reasons. The subject that day was on help, a typical area of difficulty for anyone seeking sobriety. I asked each of them to share what they needed help with, but were not accustomed to receiving help for. One woman spoke up immediately, her eyes half shut from a recent change in medication, "I don't need help getting here to this program, life did that without me asking. What I need help with is staying clean. That's the part."
I drove away that day with the thought that when it comes to real change and real "birth" of something sacred in you, you can't be gentle and patient. You have to summon the boss from within.
If that woman in that program goes home and decides to apply a level of patience and gentleness to her recovery, she will NOT win. Her mind will talk her right back to the door of her substance of choice. Guaranteed. But, if she is willing to summon the boss inside her and talk to those old, lame, useless thoughts/rationales that are married to her substance of choice, she has a fighting chance.
And, If my overdue friend hadn't set some primal boundaries - boundaries that actually communicated safety to herself and to her babe - and hadn't welcomed the strong, wild woman needed to make that birth happen, things may have gone a different way.
This is all a little tricky, because we live in an era of "vulnerability" and "acceptance" self-help. Brene Brown, Elizabeth Gilbert, Cheryl Strayed - all of whom are incredible teachers, don't get me wrong - have brought about a wave of "inspired living" that can easily be diluted down to faux-adventure and faux-change. Plus, let's not forget that all of these great teachers earn a whole lot of money off of dipping into our open wounds of wanting so badly to feel the pulse of our true selves, our purpose. This doesn't make them bad stewards in any way, it just means that we ought to be a bit more critical of from WHERE they are coming and HOW we apply what they teach.
I personally no longer read self help if I am not actively DOING the thing for which I seek self help. Why? Because the only way to actually make any sort of decent change is to DO first and to receive support and guidance DURING. If you switch that formula up, you'll just stay three steps in front of the Go Line and you'll never actually cross it. Why? Because your body and your soul get enough inspired sediment to go another day with just idea absorption. You'll feel inspired. You'll feel informed. You'll feel soothed. So much so that the itch to cross that Go Line numbs away for another day. And another day becomes another week and another week becomes another year.
Think about it. The reason Brene Brown and Elizabeth Gilbert and Cheryl Strayed have anything powerful to say at all is not because they learned it from a great book or a good quote. These are all women who learned what they did by doing, by experiencing. Period. They will be excellent guides for you in sustaining your change, but I promise you, they will not be the voice that gets you over the Go Line.
Most of them, like most everyone else I know, needed a huge massive incredibly painful blow (aka, rock bottom) to get up and do something. Let's call this The External Boss. She doesn't care about your standards, your position in life, your possessions, even your health. She cares solely for your worth and your equilibrium and your right livelihood and for the collective health. And she will do whatever is necessary to get you there. Which is why, for most of humanity, she often gets called into action at some point in everyone's life. Car accidents, DUIs, divorces, cancer/illness, loss, poverty, etc. These are all beautiful, terrifying examples of The External Boss.
But, inside of you lives a super powerful, nurturing Internal Boss. She's the one I am asking you to summon if you want to make any positive change in your life. She's got a strong voice and she's got strong words. My Internal Boss comes wearing a few weapons too. One is an electric fly swatter that bats away lame thoughts/rationales. Another is a bullet proof vest so that I keep a hold of boundaries during the change. And yet another one is a pair of blinders. She knows that on the brink of change is when I am most vulnerable to other people, past thought patterns, old triggers, and comforts of the world that numb me from that temporary phase of the focused and determined climb to wholeness.
Stop being so patient. Please, summon the boss inside of you before the external boss needs to come a-knockin'. Find out what she sounds like and grab her hand and say, I TRUST YOU and then just jump into her requests. Like I said above, it's temporary. There's no room for anything else now, though, and there is really only one way to earn a wholeness your deserve: Experience.
Now, quick but important side note:
Summoning the boss does not mean you are abusing yourself into submission. There's a distinct difference between pummeling yourself and holding yourself to your unique high standard. Holding yourself to that standard is positive and affirming - a battle cry for wholeness.
Pummeling yourself is actually yet another way you keep yourself from that standard. When we pummel ourselves, we are harmfully attaching our soul to our behavior. We are saying, "I didn't do this, so I am hopeless and worthless." Don't let that happen. The internal boss is actually very loving and never abusive, even if her words and boundaries are strong and unwavering. She says, "Hey, you are screwing this up, but that's cool, you deserve better and you can do better."
Summon the boss. Stop tilling the soil gently and stop saying positive fluffy affirmations outside of "I can handle this" and "I am willing to do whatever it takes to reach my Wholeness." When you've crossed over into the land of Experience, then you can call into action the Internal Cushion, but only then.
I know that there is at least one thing in your life that is begging for you to cross the Go Line. Mine too. Why not practice doing that right now, without excuse and without an ounce more of self-helpdom? Be that person who is able to look back and teach about what Experience feels like.

If you're not in the closed beta and have wanted to try Grinding Gear Games' free-to-play dark fantasy loot game Path of Exile you'll soon have a chance to. As announced on their official site, the open beta testing period will begin on January 23, 2013.
According to the post: "A few months ago, we estimated that we would enter open beta in December 2012. Although we believe that we can have the build ready by then, we've decided that it's too dangerous to launch the Open Beta over the Christmas period and Southern Hemisphere summer holidays when many of our staff will be away."
Before the open beta's launch, the final character wipe will take place. If you're interested in checking the game out before January 23, you can still sign up on Path of Exile's website, and Grinding Gear will also be sending out additional closed beta keys for current beta players to distribute.

Elizabeth Gilbert was a successful magazine writer in New York when she went through a life crisis and decided to travel the world. When she got back, her book Eat Pray Love become one of the biggest best-sellers of the past decade, along with its sequel Committed. Her latest novel is called The Signature of All Things.
We've invited Gilbert to play a game called "I refuse to eat, pray, or love." Three questions about dieting, blasphemy and hate.
And now the game where we take people who have accomplished big things and ask them to do a very little thing, i.e. play our game, Not My Job. Elizabeth Gilbert was a successful magazine writer in New York when she went through a life crisis and decided to travel. When she got back, her book "Eat, Pray, Love" became one of the biggest bestsellers of the last decade along with its sequel, Committed." She has a new novel out called "The Signature Of All Things." She joins us now. Liz Gilbert, welcome to WAIT WAIT …DON'T TELL ME.
ELIZABETH GILBERT: Thank you.
SAGAL: So there might be one or two people out there listening who neither read "Eat, Pray, Love," nor saw the film with Julia Roberts. So could you describe it briefly for them?
GILBERT: There might be one or two men out there.
SAGAL: Yes.
GILBERT: Yeah, to be very specific.
SAGAL: Who were afraid to admit it to their significant other.
TOM BODETT: No, my wife and I sat in the warm morning sun feeding each other grapes and read it to each other.
BODETT: Now I'm sitting between two women, I can't speak freely.
SAGAL: Well, so this is – you, as I said, you were going through a life crisis. Your marriage ended, it was not going well. You said, I'm hitting the road. You went to Italy, and then Indonesia and India. And then you wrote a book about these – about the lessons that you learned. Am I summarizing it correctly?
GILBERT: Yeah, you just did it beautifully.
SAGAL: Thank you.
GILBERT: Yeah, I ate my way through India, and actually – ate my way through Italy. What am I saying?
SAGAL: I was about to say, you haven't read the book, have you?
GILBERT: I haven't, actually. I did it all in upstate New York. I was just hoping I wouldn't get busted.
SAGAL: And this – didn't you sort of create a movement of women finding themselves?
GILBERT: I hope so. That wouldn't be such a terrible movement to be responsible for. I certainly didn't set out to do that. My first books, by point of comparison, sold upwards of dozens of copies each. So I was not in any way prepared for that kind of a response, but I'm so surprised by it but delighted by it.
SAGAL: Are there women or anybody who had negative experiences like yeah, I tried to follow in your footsteps. I went to Italy, I got food poisoning, drugged, woke up with one kidney. Thanks a lot.
GILBERT: (Laughter) Yeah, but the kidney they woke up with was on their plate. It was actually their meal.
SAGAL: Oh yes, that's even better. So one of the things that's happened – and this was probably something you didn't expect when you were a working magazine writer, is that you'd become kind of a self-help figure. You just did a tour with Oprah, right?
GILBERT: Yeah. I'm actually on tour with her right now. Well, not right this very minute.
SHELBY FERO: Is she there?
SAGAL: Is she there? Is she there?
O'CONNOR: Could you put her on?
GILBERT: Hang on a second. Ladies and gentlemen – no. Yes, that's been an amazing thing. That's sort of like getting a phone call from the president.
SAGAL: Oh, it's better than that.
SAGAL: President has to call people, Oprah chooses. What is it like being part of like an Oprah revival meeting?
GILBERT: I have to say it's amazing. Being around her is really remarkable. She's a great person, but she's also a good person. And I don't think that's often always necessarily the case. I'm going to be delicate and not name names.
SAGAL: If I told you that I am almost certain, because we've asked, that she does not listen to this show, would you revise any of your opinions about Oprah for us at this point?
GILBERT: I wouldn't. (Laughter) I feel so earnestly respectful of her that I can't even make funny jokes about it. Isn't that terrible?
SAGAL: It i. For my purposes, it's awful. Thanks a lot.
SAGAL: Let's leave Oprah alone then and ask about yourself because you obviously wrote this book and, of course, because it was a big bestseller or because it was wonderful, they made a movie out of it with Julia Roberts playing you. And if I'm not mistaken, Javier Bardem playing the man who ultimately is now your husband. Is that right?
GILBERT: Yeah. We look like that, so it works out really well.
SAGAL: Is it? Is it? I mean, these are two very attractive people. Is it weird to just sit in a movie theater, presumably a nice one with nice clothes on because this is the premier, and you're sitting there with your husband and you're watching yourselves being played by Julia Roberts and Javier Bardem. And do you look at each other and start looking at each other up and down going wait a minute. I kind of got the short end of the stick here.
GILBERT: Can I have my avatar please?
SAGAL: Exactly.
GILBERT: Yeah, it's interesting that you mention watching it in a movie theater with your clothes on. It's probably more fun to watch it at home with your clothes off and just pretend you actually are them.
SAGAL: Really? Did we just find out more about your marriage than I ever wanted to know? I mean…
GILBERT: I have a memoir, Peter. It's all going to come out eventually.
SAGAL: I know. Does your husband say tell me about being in "Pretty
Woman"? Tell me.
GILBERT: I'm like, leave the cattle gun at home.
SAGAL: Yes.
FERO: Do you then have to foreplay through the eat and the pray?
GILBERT: No, we just put it on 16 times fast-forward.
SAGAL: Now, one problem you have is not only did you write this book about "Eat, Pray, Love" about eventually meeting your husband, you then wrote a second book about marriage – about being married to him. And don't you have an obligation to stay married and happy despite whatever other urge might come upon you in the course of a fight over how to load the dishwasher?
GILBERT: Yeah. We have a contract.
SAGAL: Do you? What is that contract?
GILBERT: No, it came with the book deal. I'm totally kidding, but I loved the terrible silence that followed that.
SAGAL: We were talking to Rick Steves last week, the travel guru, about whether or not – places he recommended that get overrun. And I'm wondering if the same thing applies to you? You write about specific places and things you did in Italy and Indonesia and India. And are those places now being overwhelmed by women in their early 30s who are trying to replicate your experience? Where is my Javier Bardem, they shout.
GILBERT: Well, that's funny 'cause my – you know, my husband lived in Bali for a long time and he still lived there for a while when we were together after the book was written. And every once and a while, he would run into some woman there and she'd say she was there because of "Eat, Pray, Love," and that she was looking for a Brazilian man. And he would just say, why don't you just go to Brazil?
GILBERT: That's where most of them are.
SAGAL: I've heard – well, Elizabeth Gilbert, so much fun to talk to you…
GILBERT: Thank you Peter.
SAGAL: …But we have asked you here to play a game we're calling…
BILL KURTIS, BYLINE: I refuse to eat, pray or love.
SAGAL: So you wrote "Eat, Pray, Love." Naturally, we're going to ask you three questions about dieting, blasphemy and hate.
GILBERT: Oh my God. That's the name of my next memoir.
SAGAL: You see? Answer two of these three questions correctly and you'll win our prize for one of our listeners. Carl Kasell, his voice on their voicemail. Are you ready to play?
GILBERT: Yeah, let's go.
SAGAL: OK. Bill, who is Liz Gilbert playing for?
KURTIS: Bud Kluek of La Mesa, California.
SAGAL: All right. Bud is waiting on you. Here we go. We're going to start with dieting or starve, if you will.
When it comes to dieting, Atkins and Paleo get all the press. But in 2010, a Kansas State Nutrition professor lost 27 pounds by eating nothing but what? A, Twinkies; B, diet books – and by that, I mean the actual books; Or C, airline peanuts.
GILBERT: Wow. Do I get to know how many days he was on this diet?
SAGAL: He was on this diet for 10 weeks and lost 27 pounds.
GILBERT: For 10 weeks. OK. I don't think you can live on diet books for 10 weeks. I think you could do well with airline peanuts, but when I listen to this show, I always want people to guess the most fun answer, so I'm going to say Twinkies.
SAGAL: In fact, it was Twinkies. Yes.
GILBERT: Awesome.
SAGAL: He was trying to prove a point – doesn't matter what you eat, as long as you eat less calories. He ate one Twinkie every three hours, and also some Little Debbie snack cakes for variety. Despite the success of the diet, he says I'm not geared to say this is a good thing to do. All right, that's good. That was starve.
Next up, blasphemy. One way you can avoid blaspheming is with what linguists call a minced oath, you know, like gosh darn instead of its blasphemous alternative. Here is another thing that you can say rather than, you know, invoke the Almighty in an unpleasant way. And this used to – you used to say this but it's fallen out of practice. A, well, dad-sizzle it; B, great Wertheimer's majesty; or C, Jesus's favorite sweatervest.
GILBERT: I'm going to go with B.
SAGAL: You're going to go with B, which was great Wertheimer's majesty?
GILBERT: Yes. No I'm not.
SAGAL: Bless you.
GILBERT: I'm not. I know that tone from you, Peter. I'm going to go with A.
SAGAL: You're going to go with A, dad-sizzle?
GILBERT: Dad-sizzle it.
SAGAL: You're right. My tone gave me away.
SAGAL: Although I – people used to be able to say dad-sizzle it. I, however, am going to say great Wertheimer's majesty whenever I hit my thumb with a hammer.
All right, lastly, we've done starve, we've done blaspheme, now hate. We found an example of a true hate story for the ages. Is it A, a brother and sister who haven't spoken in 73 years because she ate his donut; B, the last two Jews – last two Jews left in Kabul, Afghanistan, who each had a synagogue just so they could keep the other guy out of it; or C, a guy who goes to every single game played by the San Diego Padres for the last eight years – home and away – just so he can boo one player?
GILBERT: Wow. I'm going with C 'cause I think sports hatred is a deeper kind of hatred than any other human hatred there is.
SAGAL: Is a deep hatred, but not as much as the hatred felt by the last two Jews of Afghanistan.
GILBERT: No.
SAGAL: It's true. They absolutely hated each other and they stayed in two different synagogues and they refused to go into the other's. And they ended up living in the same building, but they still wouldn't talk to each other until one of them died.
GILBERT: That's beautiful.
SAGAL: Isn't it great?
GILBERT: My husband's mother didn't talk to her brother for the rest of her life at the age of 30 because he insulted her cucumber salad. So I almost went with the first one but…
SAGAL: Wait a minute.
SAGAL: You're saying your husband's mother didn't talk to her brother because he insulted…
GILBERT: Ever again.
SAGAL: …Ever again 'cause he insulted…
GILBERT: …And not only that, their descendents won't speak to each other (Laughing).
SAGAL: What did he say about the cucumber salad?
GILBERT: Do you want to know? I can tell you.
SAGAL: Please.
GILBERT: He picked up a piece of cucumber and he said, my doctor says there's no nutrition in this, that you might as well just throw it out a window.
BODETT: And that's it?
SAGAL: That's it?
BODETT: That seems more directed at the cucumber.
SAGAL: Bill, how did Liz Gilbert do on our quiz?
KURTIS: Well, she ate Twinkies, and prayed for dad-sizzle it and got two out of three. That's a winner.
SAGAL: Well done, Liz. Yes, very good.
SAGAL: Elizabeth Gilbert is a New York Times best-selling author. Her latest novel, "The Signature Of All Things" is out in paperback now and it is fantastic. Elizabeth Gilbert, thank you so much for joining us on WAIT WAIT …DON'T TELL ME. It was fun to talk to you.
GILBERT: Thank you, thanks everybody.
SAGAL: Bye-bye.
SAGAL: In just a minute, Bill straps on the feed bag and powers a whole city block. It's the Listener Limerick Challenge. Call 1-888-WAIT-WAIT, to join us on the air.

As parents, nothing matters more than being able to see your child grow up healthy and well. However, for father Desmond Neo, that dream can no longer be realized for his precious daughter.
Little 11-month-old Joel Neo was suffering from a high fever of 39°C, which prompted her parents to decide on sending her to get hospital care in Pantai Hospital, trusting the nurses and doctors to be able to bring their child back to optimal health from what seemed to be a simple case of high fever. What followed the next few days ended up being the worst days of their lives.
A few hours after the doctors and nurses had administered medication, things took a turn for the worse when Joel's lips started turning purple, and her hands black. Worried, Neo called for a doctor, who then told him that it was a normal occurrence of the fever. Though he was shocked and dubious on what the doctor was telling him, he decided that the doctor knew best and decided to give him the benefit of a doubt. When the fever did not recede, stronger doses of medication was administered just a mere 7 hours after the initial dose.
That, in return resulted in little Joel ending up in a deep sleep for many hours. Feeling uneasy, Neo then asked the doctor about it, and was told that it was a normal effect of the medication that was administered. Thinking that something wasn't right, he started considering transferring his child to another hospital, but was unable to do so as it was during the wee hours of the morning. They also contacted their friend, who was a doctor, who then requested for the list of medication administered, but received no help from the nurses.
As Joel's fever spiked throughout the night, Neo panicked and requested for the nurse, whom gave his daughter another dose of medication, dismissing Neo's concerns on the frequency of the administering of medication. However, it was to no avail. Neo demanded that the nurses contacted the doctor immediately, and was willing to pay the RM150 surcharge to do so. Instead of contacting the doctor in charge, however, the nurses contacted the doctor working in the emergency ward, whom then told Neo and his family to get cold water to sponge Joel's body.
Worried, Neo, his pregnant wife and elderly mother did as they were told, though it was supposed to be the nurses' jobs. When that wasn't working, they called for the doctor again, who then told them to strip her and expose her to the air conditioning, stating that it would definitely work. Apprehensive, they did as they were told. Throughout the night, they pleaded many times for the nurse to contact the doctor in charge but to no avail.
To his horror, at around 6am, his child started vomiting dark brown coloured liquid, otherwise known as 'coffee ground'. After vomiting twice, the nurses appeared and placed an oxygen mask over her face to ensure that she was getting enough oxygen. It was then followed by two more rounds of vomiting, but according to Desmond, the colouring looked more like blood.
It was then that the emergency alarm started ringing and a swarm of doctors and nurses appeared, and they rushed her off to the ICU. There, the doctors then notified Neo that they actually do not have the sufficient equipment to be able to save their child, and requests that they transfer their child to another hospital for hospital care. Imagine being told that when your child is in critical condition!
Unfortunately, there was no happy end to this story. 11 days after this unfortunate example of Malaysia's hospital care, his precious little girl passed away in a government hospital. Was all this due to negligence? After reviewing the replies from Pantai after Neo questioned the hospital regarding their actions, it seems so.
Joel had suffered from Acute Necrotizing Encephalopathy Of Childhood (ANEC), which was not diagnosed. It is a rare disease characterized by respiratory or gastrointestinal infection and high fever accompanying with rapid alteration of consciousness and seizures, all of which she showed signs of. If the nurses and doctors did not dismiss Neo's concerns and decided to get her thoroughly checked out either through and MRI or CT scan, things might have turned out differently.
A word of advice from me to all you mothers out there, if possible, always get a second opinion. Trust your gut when something doesn't feel right, and always, always monitor what the nurses are administering to your children when receiving hospital care. There has been many cases in which nurses have administered the wrong medication to their patients. Stay vigilant to ensure that Neo's misfortune will not happen again.
Motherhood.com.my would like to offer our condolences to Desmond Neo and his family for the untimely passing of Joel Neo. RIP little baby girl.

Defense of the Ancients
DotA hasn't ever been the biggest MMO, especially in Australia or USA, but it is definitely one of my favourites. Before League of Legends (which I'll review in another post), however, it was the biggest and best of its genre, the "Aeon of Strife"/MOBA.Unfortunately, for newer players, it takes a while to pick up unlike LoL and HoN.
I occasionally compete in local LAN tournaments, where competitive DotA gets truly exciting. It's all about your micro, teamwork and whatever unique strategy your team can come up with in the ever-changing metagame.
Thoughts on DotA 2
The closed beta has been running for quite a while but won't be released until about August. Whilst playing the beta, I was quite surprised to find the engine was stable and very playable. There was little lag and it was quick to find a game and launch yourself into the battle. Props to Valve. The metagame itself is different from DotA 1, as many DotA heroes are not yet created for DotA 2. However it continuously evolves with the addition of new heroes every update.
The beta is achieving similar results to Starcraft 2 with already several tournaments being held, both online and LAN. This tells us that, by the time of full release, DotA 2 will be an extremely popular competitve MMO and likely to top LoL and HoN, its biggest rivals.
To learn more about DotA 1:
For competitive DotA 1 and DotA 2 VODs w/ commentary I recommend
Beta Key Give-away
I have a spare beta key to give away, and if you would like it, then its simple. Just follow this blog and leave a comment below. I'll notify the winner in a few days, or once there are enough contestants.
Now let's play some GAMES!
