This article provides a high-level overview of the improvements and advances in software and firmware that have been added to our Cloud processing and hosting platform since the release of the Matterport Pro 3D Camera.
We are very excited to bring a little splash of color to your Matterport Spaces with colorized Mattertag Posts. These were enabled to continue enriching our Mattertag ecosystem and to bring a little fun to the 3D Showcase experience. With Colorized Mattertag Posts, customers can now simply choose a different color for the tags to match their branding guidelines, or to groups tags by color, e.g. blue for photos, red for videos, green for links). For AEC professionals, you can also use these as a communication or assignment tool, applying red tags for high priority notices and blue tags for those pending review.This will enable customers to present even more cues in the Space in a fun and easy way.
Every new Matterport Space created after May 7, 2017 will come with its own 10-15 second teaser movie featuring views of both the Space's interior and the Dollhouse! These are generated by leveraging deep learning technology, and as a result of new innovations developed by our Computer Vision Team. To read more about the magic behind Teaser Videos, visit our blog. Learn more >
Ever wanted to post panoramic images to Facebook and Google from your Matterport Spaces? Now you can! With 360° Snapshots, you can export any scan location as a downloadable panoramic image to post to your favorite online hubs! Use these to drive additional traffic back to your Matterport Space, a property landing page, or your website. Learn more >
We're proud to announce the launch of the new Pro2 3D Camera, our first new camera in 3 years. Key features include capturing at 4K resolution for print photography, enhanced zooming for an even better 3D Showcase experience, and built-in GPS for future functionality. Normal scanning operation is the same as the original Pro Camera. Shipping starts on July 15th, 2017. Learn more >
We've migrated to a new platform for the Matterport Community. Check it out at community.matterport.com. The new platform looks better visually and is integrated with the Help Center (support.matterport.com).
At the Google Street View Summit 2017 in Tokyo, we announced that you'll soon be able to publish your Matterport Spaces to Google Street View. This will greatly enhance visibility for business listing, travel and hospitality, and cultural spaces. This feature is in development and will be in beta this summer. Learn more >
Users can now share a Space to social media (Facebook, Twitter) from directly within 3D Showcase. For users coming to a Matterport Space from social media post, a new URL field can direct to them the owner's webpage. Learn more >
Our first annual "Matty" awards highlighting the coolest and most unique 3D Spaces captured in the last year. Plus a category for our favorite MSPs. Check out the winners >
Matterport has partnered with Realtor.com and the New York Times for a beta trial of syndication, so you can have even wider visibility, exposure and 'eyeballs' on the Matterport Spaces for your real estate properties. Syndication relies on an accurate address to work properly. Learn how to verify an address.
With an extra URL parameter, the 3D Showcase UI can now be shown in either French (&lang=fr) or Spanish (&lang=es), so our international users have an even better experience. Learn more about URL parameters >
Users can enter Space details/metadata, Mattertag Post content, and Snapshots in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This multilingual content can be entered in Workshop and will then reflect in 3D Showcase.
Matterport Spaces can now be viewed through WebVR. This means you can go straight from exploring a Space on your cellphone to popping it into the headset and exploring in virtual reality -- no app download required! Currently WebVR is only supported for Google Daydream headsets and Daydream-ready phones. Learn more about Matterport & WebVR >
Schematic Floor Plans can now be ordered in metric, so you can use them in places outside of the United States too. Learn more about Schematic Floor Plans >
Redesigned Help Center at support.matterport.com for a nicer, cleaner, more accessible look.
The Matterport VR app available on iPhones for use in Google Cardboard headsets. Learn more about Virtual Reality.
New &mls=1 URL parameter so owners can post a MLS-friendly version of their space to comply with MLS rules. Learn more about URL parameters.

CoreVR automatically converts any Matterport Space into an immersive, virtual reality-enabled environment viewable on Samsung Gear VR and Google Cardboard. CoreVR is available to Matterport customers on all Spaces created before January 1, 2017, for free. Get started with CoreVR >
Improvements to collaborator management and onboarding, including:
Now, the Highlight Reel automatically hides upon 3D Showcase launch to create a cleaner experience, especially in mobile environments. Adding the URL parameter &hl=1 causes the Highlight Reel to remain visible on all screens. Read the update >
A small firmware update addresses an occasional issue that caused misalignment when moving past the edge of an object.
Customers in construction, engineering, and architecture are now able to download colorized point clouds extracted from their Matterport Spaces via this order form for use in building information modeling and as-built designs.
By transitioning our Space-editing Workshop software to WebGL, customers are now able to edit their Spaces without plugins across all major internet browsers - Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, and Safari, for greater workflow flexibility.
VR Showcase reaches an even broader audience with the launch of Matterport VR for Google Cardboard - Google's low-cost VR platform that works with phones from a variety of manufacturers. VR Showcase for Cardboard lets anyone experience our public library of 3D Spaces in immersive virtual reality. Matterport customers can view and distribute their VR-enabled Spaces quickly and easily, leveraging VR in their existing businesses. This release supports Cardboard-compatible Android devices. Download it for free from the Google Play Store >
360˚ Views allow Matterport users to capture outdoor scenery with their existing Matterport Pro Camera, something that was previously difficult or impossible in some circumstances. With 360˚ Views, users can collect complete 2D RGB panoramas without 3D data, and add them right to their 3D Showcases alongside their 3D model data. 360˚ Views can be captured in bright and direct sunlight outdoors, and be used to add vantage points to large indoor spaces where alignment is not necessary. They are also a great way to showcase nearby vistas or amenities that are not contiguous with a property.
Add a little efficiency to your workflow by setting account-level defaults for many common 3D Showcase fields and settings.
Business users can now understand exactly how their 3D campaigns are performing with stats about impressions, visits, and unique visitors, for individual Spaces and their entire account.
Introducing the ability to automatically generate 2D black-and-white floor plans from 3D Spaces for $14.99, with turnaround within two business days. Real estate professionals can now get a key part of their marketing package at competitive prices with Matterport.
Matterport Spaces can be viewed offline with our native iOS app. Now users can take their Spaces anywhere, or access our public Space gallery locally on their iPhone or iPad. 3D Showcase for iOS is the perfect presentation tool to show the value of 3D Showcase, without fumbling for a WiFi password. You can also download and experience any of our public gallery of 3D Spaces. Download 3D Showcase for iOS today >
Mattertags make Matterport Spaces a versatile storytelling, communication, reference, and retail tool. We're pioneering spatial metadata - associating swaths of information with coordinates from the real world. The possibilities extend in every dimension. Learn about Mattertag Posts >
Improvements to our vision pipeline result in much more true-to-life colors, especially for outdoor panoramas with blue hue.
Revised vision algorithms result in deeper, richer black tones. Also, in Spaces with direct overhead lighting, this release reduces the appearance of glare and lens flare.
To better support our international customers, this release features measurements in metric units and UTF8 support in Space names, descriptions, and other supporting text, to support expanded non-English languages.
Matterport introduces its first app for virtual reality with VR Showcase for Samsung Gear VR. VR Showcase enables anyone to experience a select library of Matterport Spaces on the most immersive consumer media platform - the smartphone-based Samsung Gear VR. Matterport customers can also have their own Spaces VR-enabled via our VR Beta Program.
Through advances in our automatic vision processing, we are now able to automatically separate different levels of a property into multiple floors, allowing users to view floors separately in 3D Showcase.
To enable more users to learn how to navigate through Matterport 3D Spaces, we have added Navigation help to 3D Showcase. This onboarding flow teaches new users how to use 3D Showcase, reducing drop-off rates and boosting engagement.
The data gathered from the real world isn't always complete and perfect, but that shouldn't stop us from filling in the gaps. Our revised algorithm is now able to predictively complete the holes in our 3D environments so dollhouses are cleaner and navigation is more complete.
Now 3D Showcases can be set to automatically play upon page load by adding a simple URL parameter.
This release of the Matterport Capture App for iPad includes an in-app user guide to help you when scanning on site. This includes answers to frequently asked questions, explanations of key terminology, and a quick-start video. The Capture app will also diagnose potential problems and provide real-time suggestions to resolve issues like a loose tripod or low scan position overlap.
Advancements in our vision algorithm now allow us to automatically separate different floors in a 3D Space, enabling users to explore 3D Showcase in a whole new way. Now, users can view each floor individually, providing a complete understanding of its layout and relationship to floors above and below.
Users now have the ability to delete Spaces, folders, and collaborators.
The all-new Workshop is the content creation and content management application that defines the 3D Showcase experience. Over the next several months, additional updates to Workshop will be released that will continue to add functionality for 3D Showcase. It is now easier to set start locations, disable excess scan positions, and label rooms for Floorplan view. We have also introduced a new asset management panel and streamlined user interface.
Updates to our vision processing algorithm improve automatic brightness adjustments, so lighting conditions in Spaces will now appear truer to actual capture conditions. This is most noticeable in ceilings, which were previously darker than expected.
Updates to our automated vision processing pipeline provide improved white balance for 2D imagery in 3D Showcase. Whites now appear truer to life, providing an overall more accurate 3D Showcase visual experience, and panoramic images will now be more balanced across the entire 3D Space.
This release includes improved user experience around tilt and rotation in Dollhouse view, improved touch controls, and faster loading for high-resolution panoramic images in 3D Showcase.
With the addition of touch controls in 3D Showcase, your immersive, interactive Matterport Spaces can now be explored on tablet and smartphone devices, where 40% of web traffic is.
With the introduction of global alignment in the Capture app, all scan alignment is now done automatically - with no user input! You no longer have to manually select the active scan to trigger alignment. This major breakthrough makes on-site scanning quicker and easier.
Additional updates to our Capture iPad app enable new features for on-site scanning. Users can now label multiple floors, duplicate and delete models on the iPad (to create multiple Space versions), re-upload models for processing (to re-edit windows, mirrors, and trim mark-ups), and improvements to capture speed.
Matterport releases its comprehensive product platform for capturing, creating and experiencing three-dimensional photographic models for general commercial availability. Read the press release >

text: Mecca 83 has been blessing us with his Jazz and Hip Hop sensibilities for a long while now. He pondered retirement, dropped intermittent treats, and returned with the latest in his signature series, Life Sketches last month. Life Sketches Vol 3 begins with an introductory, almost celebratory fanfare courtesy of Octavio Santos before immediately slapping you in the face with Let's Get It featuring the younger soul brother, Grap Luva. It's really a wrap from there, honestly all aces from track 1. As usual his super-talented friends from previous collaborations make appearances – Buscrates, Kazumi Kaneda, & Von Pea but something really special takes place every time Octavio Santos blows his horn over a track. This is a stellar release for the final third of the year and a nice bookend for your 2017 collection. Support this one so we can get more goodies from the talented beatsmith

Florence and the Uffizi Gallery
Explore and discover the city of Florence, artistic home to legendary figures like Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Raphael, Leonardo and Botticelli, with a detailed, central chapter dedicated to the very treasure house containing their masterpieces: the Uffizi Gallery. The 'secret story' of each of the timeless works of art in the gallery will be disclosed in all its beauty, including the breathtaking "Adoration of the Magi" by Leonardo Da Vinci, which will be brought back to life in 2016, after several years of restoration, and here unveiled in worldwide exclusive premier on the big screen. Moreover, a fascinating, Gothic-flavoured interlude will display much darker, more monstrous and frightening paintings, such as those by Caravaggio.

Every year it's the same. I get really excited about my birthday: tell everybody, plan outfits, dream of shoes (possibly unrelated). The week leading up to it is filled with plans and excitement. Then I wake up on my actual birthday and remember that I don't really like it very much. There is too much pressure, too much build-up and it is invariably an anti-climax. It was the same today. I shuddered awake from a dream in which I was a dinner lady at my old school (which sort of puts on perspective all the worries I had about not having achieved anything yet) and thought, Oh. I am twenty-five today. Huh.
I am going to the pub later on, but celebrating properly on Saturday. Before that, though, I am off to do some Birthday Temping in a Birthday Office, where I will Birthday Sulk until I get to leave. Early. Sorry, Birthday Early (which means really very early).
I must go and put on some Birthday Clothes (which is not the same as a Birthday Suit - that was deemed "inappropriate" by those prudes at the Social Services) and continue to wander around aimlessly until I am twenty-six.

Celebrating Britain
Jubilee Barge
On a wet and misty summer's day the World turned out to watch the great Jubilee pageant of a thousand boats through London. The Royal barge – Gloriana – led the way and a flotilla of other craft made their way past the House of Parliament to Tower Bridge.
The last time such a procession happened was several hundred years ago when Canaletto painted the Royal Regatta going past St Paul's Cathedral.
I love this image. It's terribly British. "Shame about the weather!" we cried but it gave us the Queen's barge, in glorious finery, continuing, as our monarch has for 60 years, regardless!
Monet's 1871 painting of the Houses of Parliament shows the foggy London which was so typical at the time. Now those famous fogs are a thing of the past, but on
the memorable day of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, London was swathed in a beautiful misty rain. As the Royal Barge carried on regardless, accompanied by that amazing flotilla, the weather combined with the occasion to create an irresistible image.

Letter to federal MPs urging support for a legal ban on nuclear weapons at the Vienna Conference| (0) Add comment
November 1, 2014
Dear <MP's name>,
Thank you for your continued good work on behalf of our great nation.
A significant development is beginning to energize the lethargic nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime. Nearly seventy years after nuclear bombs obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki, an international process to address the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the use of these weapons is underway. On December 8-9, 2014 the Government of Austria will host the Third Conference on the Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons in Vienna. This conference follows quickly on the heels of those held in Oslo, Norway (March 2013) and Nayarit, Mexico (February 2014).
At these conferences grim first-hand testimonies and disturbing scientific findings give a clear message: Effects of the use of nuclear weapons on the environment, the global economy and life on the planet would be catastrophic; effective emergency relief, impossible.
Leading up to the Vienna Conference, 155 states have issued a joint statement delivered by New Zealand at the UN General Assembly's First Committee on Disarmament and International Security on October 20, 2014, recognizing the humanitarian impact of nuclear weapons and calling for their total elimination. Unfortunately, Canada would not sign this statement even though a motion passed unanimously by the House and the Senate (2010) urged the government "to engage in negotiations for a nuclear weapons convention as proposed by the United Nations Secretary-General" and "to deploy a major worldwide Canadian diplomatic initiative in support of preventing nuclear proliferation and increasing the rate of nuclear disarmament."
As well, civil society organizations, former diplomats, and government officials, and more than 800 recipients of the Order of Canada are urging the Canadian government to support UN resolutions calling for formal negotiations toward a nuclear weapons convention. Polls indicate that more than 88 per cent of Canadians support a legal agreement to eliminate nuclear weapons.
The policies and actions of the nuclear weapons states are far from consistent with the goal of nuclear disarmament. They continue to ignore Article VI of the NPT, they did not attend the 2013 United Nations Open Ended Working Group on nuclear disarmament, they have boycotted the previous two conferences on the Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons, the doctrine of deterrence remains central to their security arrangements, and they continue to spend billions of dollars modernizing their nuclear arsenals. It is time to end this hypocrisy before the unthinkable occurs.
Underlying the revived interest in the humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons is frustration with the anomalies, contradictions, and fundamental injustices underpinning the nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation regime that delay progress to disarmament. Many countries, in looking for ways forward, have determined that the most logical, achievable, and meaningful step in the current context is remarkably straightforward: a global legal ban on the development, possession, testing, and use of nuclear weapons by any state. There is no clearer path to rid the world of the most destructive weapons ever made. And, it must begin now.
Canada's support for a legal ban on nuclear weapons would be welcome and consequential. The government would gain considerable 'political capital' with the world of nation states and its own citizenry. The prompt pursuit of concerted diplomatic efforts to achieve the complete and irreversible elimination of nuclear weapons is in the best interests of every nation and the process to establish a legal ban constitutes a necessary step forward. It will be rooted in the widespread rejection of the continued existence of nuclear weapons and a full recognition of the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of their use. From this perspective, the use of nuclear weapons is unacceptable and the goal of their complete elimination is not negotiable.
Every indication is that the process will move full steam ahead, with or without the nuclear weapon states—and with or without Canada. We urge you to place Canada on the right side of history and give the full support of our nation at the upcoming conference in Vienna. Thank you for your consideration.

What IS title insurance and why do I need it?
If you own something, chances are you have insurance for it. Car insurance, homeowners insurance, boat insurance, there are all sorts of insurance policies. But what if it turns out that you don't actually own something that you thought you did? What if someone tried to take it away, or place their own claim to it?
Title insurance covers the title to your property: your ownership of it. Simply put, title insurance covers you from past owners and possible issues like outstanding heirs, mortgages, tax liens, and other types of judgments that attach to real property.
If you're purchasing a home or piece of property, make sure to ask your closing attorney about the importance of title insurance and a full title search.
It just might save you a mountain of headache later.

News! Later this month, on June 28, I'll be appearing in a great little mini-conference in my hometown of Belton, Mo. (about half an hour south of Kansas City). I'll give a talk on the five things editors want to see in every manuscript. Then the picture book author (and my best friend) Katy Beebe and I will discuss query letters, particularly the one that led to the publication of her lovely book Brother Hugo and the Bear. And finally, we'll do a first-pages session to round out the morning. Registration is $60, to benefit the Cass County Library Foundation (one of several library systems that made Katy and me the writers and readers we are today). For more information and to register, please click here.
In sad news, last month marked the first month in the nine-year history of this blog where I did not write a single post! Not a one! Part of it can be attributed to this fine fellow:
In sad news, last month marked the first month in the nine-year history of this blog where I did not write a single post! Not a one! Part of it can be attributed to this fine fellow:
Mr. Bob Jacob Marley Monohan, who has come to dwell in our apartment and demand my time and attention, cat treats, things to gnaw on (currently a pair of James's cargo shorts that he unwisely left on the couch), etc. Part of it is that I have Twitter to accept all of my random thoughts. Much of it was simply work and life. But I miss writing here. I'm going to try to do a post a week for the rest of the summer, and I hope it will result in good energy all around.
- The Great Greene Challenge is still on! Have you gotten your copy yet? It's a great opportunity to support diverse books, an independent bookstore, and fantastic middle-grade in one fell swoop.
- As this blog has often served as my running results archive: My sister and I ran the Brooklyn Half-Marathon a couple weeks ago in 2:10. It was my slowest time for a half ever, but I didn't care, because I super-enjoyed running and chatting with her.
- We have a great new episode of the Narrative Breakdown up here, with Matt Bird and James and I talking character goals and philosophies. Our podcasting has fallen off a bit of late because we lost our sponsor.... If you'd be interested in donating to the cause or sponsoring an episode yourself (a great way to reach a wide audience of writers and other lovers of narrative), please contact us at narrativebreakdown at gmail dot com.
- And if you'd like to buy my book SECOND SIGHT, but not through Amazon, please e-mail me at chavela_que at yahoo dot com. I'd be happy to work out alternate means of payment and delivery with you.
- Happy summer!

Frontier Airlines A320
US carriers Silver Airways and Frontier Airlines said they will end service to Cuba, citing excess capacity and other challenges in the newly reopened US-Cuba market. Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based Silver and Denver-based Frontier were two of nine US airlines that started serving Cuba in the second half of 2016 and early this year after former US President Barack Obama initiated a reopening of US-Cuba relations that included the first air services agreement between the two countries in more ...

Fears ease over flooding in Dublin and Cork
FEARS of flooding in Cork and Dublin have appeared to subside after no major problems were reported.
In Cork, flood waters rose on several streets without entering buildings, while in Dublin the city council said it had closed flood gates on the major rivers and deployed sandbags in the event of a problem.
But a council spokesman said things seemed "reasonably OK" as high tide approached just before noon.
"We will have wave overtopping in Clontarf and Sandymount, but we've a stock of sandbags which have been deployed. Others are also ready, but we don't think we'll need them," he said.
"We're on a state of heightened alert. The flood defences on the River Tolka are in place, the Liffey Boardwalk is closed and the flood gates on the River Dodder are closed. Flood gates in Spencer Dock are also closed. Our drainage staff are working entirely on the issue."
A 'tide report centre' has also been set up to take calls from the public, which will be operated until 3pm when the high tide will have subsided. The number is 01 222 2155.
Cork City Council has advised home and business owners to take steps to protect their properties and warnings will remain in place for several days.
In Waterford, the train station was flooded which resulted in services between the city and Kilkenny and Carrick-on-Suir being suspended. Bus transfers are in place.
Met Eireann spokesman John Eagleton said that, despite the flood warnings today, it "will be a good weekend to be out and about".
It is forecast to be cold but the frost will not linger for the day.
Met Eireann's flood warning was issued as a result of high tides, onshore gales and up to 25mm of rain.

Hat: Genie by Eugenia Kim/ J.Crew Blouse, Coat, Sweater, Pants/Boots: Stuart Weitzman /Bag: Givenchy
During cold winter months it can be so hard sometimes to bundle up to stay warm, yet still look fashionable. Winter accessories can easily look overwhelming, so I think it is important to invest in the right kind, even though they may be pricey. For example, today I am wearing a long down puffer coat that is designed to insulate heat and manages not to look like a human sleeping bag. I paired it with leggings, and a cashmere sweater that is a good investment for layering, looking stylish, and staying warm. You lose the most heat through your head so it is definitely important to find a cute hat. I love this tweed Eugenia Kim hat that is perfect for both city streets and rural roads.

An ocean's water does not reveal the ocean's content, nor does a shadow reveal the matter. An individual can convey him or herself in one form superficially, yet still be another on their core. It is hard for a man to alter perceptions between what he sees of himself and what others see of him -hence the world's surplus of apathy- yet, it is not difficult for men to control the persona they want to live by –let that be who they truly are, or rather a personification of the person who they truly desire to be. In the play that is life, an individual can take the form of various roles: the actor, the narrator, and the director. Each role is not defined by the specific character or traits a person might have, but by the manner and the extent in which they convey these; therefore, two individuals with completely different characters can be directors.
Initially, the most abundant of these roles in the world is that of the actor –in both the literal and figurative sense. As the name bares for itself, an actor is one who conceals their authentic persona to convey a self-created idealistic one to the world. These people believe many of their traits are not adaptable to society, and hence shield them in a way in which they utterly avoid their existence. In addition, there are distinctive levels of actors: the outstanding and the moderate ones. Outstanding actors, incongruously, are the most insecure ones, as they are the ones that distrust the way in which their genuine self will adjust to society. These actors are the ones that are most capable of sheltering who they truly are, to the extent that they might even forget so themselves. They have become experts at gradually customizing character traits to their person; as a matter of fact, they have become a form of bio-engineers in terms of personalities. Moreover, it is certainly odd how they manage to seemingly become the person that they believe is more fine-tuned with the world; one must admire their skills in that sense, as well as their way of unrecognizing who they are! They are the most loyal devotees of the world's survival of the fittest. Now, when attempting to break these actor's shield, and grasp the content of their soul, be aware that they will exceed on paranoia and self-defense, as good actors never break out of their roles.
On the same path lay the moderate actors, and like outstanding ones, they avoid the presence of those traits they desire not to expose; however, they never avoid complete personalities. Also, their level of paranoia is not as elevated, for, though there are some things about themselves that are unfit with the person they long to be, they do not mind not becoming such. For some reason society is jam-packed of knights frightened of becoming civilians, perhaps because knights are petrified of defenselessness and susceptibility, nevertheless, one must never forget that the most vulnerable ones are those that appear the most hardened.
Following the actors, life also consists of narrators, whom are also known as bystanders. Narrators are the ones whose own personalities they can convey, but to a controlled level in order to maintain a firm perception of themselves in society. They are loyal to who they are on their interior, but are merely neutral to others. Therefore, in contrast with actors –who do have a personality although not faithful to how it truly is- they do not intertwine nor evade their nature, but rather maintain it impartial to onlookers, for either apprehension towards judgement or human-warmth. A simple way of identifying a narrator is by approaching a suspect in a bold manner and observing if his or her response is indifferent with a trace of boredom. If the previous response is like so, then he or she is a narrator.
In the last spot of our human role classification comes the director. Rather than leading the audience, they are those that have the strength to put drive into their ideas, and transfer them from mind to speech. They do not necessarily have to talk excessively, as in many cases such is unwise, but perhaps be reckless in terms of conveying their persona or timidities. A director can be the shyest of all individual, but the most loyal to their ego. He or she can be afraid of judgement, yet unstopped by such. They can be the most introverts and less resonant, but still the most faithful and courageous.
Vulnerability is a societal fright, and one combats it in different ways. While some cherry-pick character traits to place to themselves, others act more neutral. Nevertheless, one must never forget that shielding, though valuable at times, can act as poison, for an armor does not last a lifetime, and authenticity, though hard to achieve, is the best way to battle, for all that is hidden is transparent.

The best products for your dental health
There are many products and so much hype on what you should use to take the best care of your teeth, that many people get confused. Hundred of millions of dollars are spent every single year by companies selling toothpaste, mouthwash, tooth brushes and over-the-counter tooth whitening products that it is impossible to separate the sales pitch from the sound dental advice. And not all products are easily available on the market so we keep some in the office for our patients along with detailed instructions for proper usage. But to help guide you in your home health care routine below, you will find detailed information on:
So here is what the doctors of Dental Care of Stamford have to say about what's best for your dental health:
The purpose of toothpaste is to polish your teeth to remove plaque and germs that cause tooth decay and bad breath. Despite what you read or see on TV, there is no tooth paste you can buy over the counter to kill the germs that cause dental disease or bad breath. All they do is mask the odor like using perfume instead of showering. Even Listerine would have to stay in your mouth at full strength for at least 15 to 20 minutes to kill the germs that cause gingivitis, but not periodontal disease which is what matters. But the right toothpaste can help in another way.
Dental researchers have found and proven, in university studies, that chlorine dioxide can break up the sulfur chemicals produced by bacteria in your mouth that cause mouth odor and contribute to periodontal disease. If you ever wake up with that "morning breath" you will be amazed how it literally disappears with daily use of Oxyfresh tooth paste.
Instead of trying to kill the bacteria use a chlorine dioxide-containing toothpaste to fight the germ products. Dr. Simon says that this is like leaving the criminals with guns, but taking away the bullets. There are several brands of chlorine dioxide containing toothpastes. The one we dispense here at Dental Care is called Oxyfresh. These are generally not available in drug stores, so ask us for a tube when you come in. It is the only toothpaste Dr. Simon uses for himself and his family.
Oxyfresh toothpaste has been proven to break up the disease and odor-producing chemicals in your mouth safely.
Many people can be very effective with a regular hand toothbrush as long as it meets the proper criteria. The bristles must be soft nylon so they can bend and shape to the natural contours of the teeth and the ends of the bristles must be rounded. Just like cleaning eyeglasses, you need to rub hard with a soft device to remove the sticky plaque from your teeth. Toothbrushes wear out after about 2 to 3 months so replace them frequently.
At Dental Care of Stamford we recommend the toothbrush. It is actually an ultrasonic vibrator attached to a soft tooth brush. Because it vibrates at 25,000 cycles per minute a two minute brushing with a Sonicare is like brushing for half an hour. There are many models to choose from but we keep an economical version in the office for our patients. What Dr Simon likes about Sonicare is that it has a built in two minute timer and the ultrasonic vibration helps to dislodge the plaque from those hard to reach places
Americans spend hundreds of millions of dollars on mouthwashes and breath fresheners and most of them really don't work. They often contain alcohol (a carcinogen) and minty flavors that only mask the smell.
Oxyfresh Mouthrinse
The cause of bad breath is almost always sulfur chemicals produced by the bacteria in our mouth and on our tongue. Mouthwash cannot effectively kill the germs that cause mouth odor and gum disease. (Even Listerine would have to stay in your mouth 15-20 minutes at full strength to actually kill the germs.) The answer is to break-up the sulfur chemicals.The very best way that can be done is to use a chlorine dioxide-containing mouthwash that is alcohol free. The one recommended and dispensed at Dental Care of Stamford is Oxyfresh. It is available in pints and economical gallon-sized dispensers.
Therasol is an anti-bacterial "mouth rinse" that we use instead of brushing with tooth paste once a day. You just sip in a little bit and brush your teeth, ideally with a Sonicare tooth brush that vibrates it between the teeth and around the teeth and gums. The taste is great. The advantage of Therasol, unlike most mouth washes that are more like perfume that just masks mouth odor, it actually does kill the germs that cause periodontal disease.
Removing the plaque and bacteria from under the gum line, between the teeth and around fixed bridge work or dental implants every day is very important. A tooth brush and dental floss cannot get into every nook and cranny that harbors germs and plaques. An irrigator is especially helpful for especially people with gum disease, adults or children with braces or fixed bridge work, people who do not use dental floss every day and people who want to be sure they are going the extra mile to maintain fresh breath and prevent tooth decay and gum disease. For people with gum pockets, the irrigator actually gets into places that even dental floss cannot reach.
The Hydrofloss device we recommend adds an unnoticeable charge of static electricity to the water in a process called magneto-hydro-dynamics that has been shown to make it 60% more effective than just water spray alone in a typical over the counter water pick type device in plaque and bacteria removal.
Most people do not clean their tongue. They do not realize that the tongue, which may feel smooth, has millions of tiny indentations that hold decaying food and bacteria that produce mouth odor and gum disease. At Dental Care of Stamford, we recommend that you use a tongue cleaner daily. It is a gentle device that works like a windshield wiper to remove bacteria and food deposits from your tongue daily. When you see and smell what comes off your tongue, you'll be a believer in this 10 second daily routine.
Fluoride works by hardening the enamel to make the enamel of the teeth more resistant to decay.
Fluoride is the l3th most common element on the earth. The oceans which cover 70% of the earth, are naturally fluoridated. We don't know why most of the underground water we drink has no fluoride. We do know some people are fearful of fluoride as cancer-causing, but there are places in the Southwest United States that naturally have water with 5 to 10 times more fluoride than recommended. As far as we know, the water has been that way for thousands of years and no one has ever reported a higher rate of any kind of disease in those areas.
Fluoride for kids 12 and under works best taken internally so the fluoride becomes a part of the teeth as they grow. The best way to get fluoride is to drink water that has been tested to contain .7 parts per million of fluoride. For the proper dosage, you need to drink 2 cups of fluoridated water or reconstituted fruit juice per day. Once a child passes 12 years of age, internal fluoride is of no help because the teeth are all grown.
If you are on city water, call the local Department of Health to verify that your water is fluoridated. All the towns in Fairfield County have fluoridated water. If you are on a well, you must get the water tested by the Department of Health. If your well does not have enough fluoride or your family drinks primarily bottled water or whole fruit juice etc., then your children probably need fluoride supplements. We recommend the kind that looks like a little candy mint which your child dissolves it in his or her mouth so it works both on the teeth and in the developing permanent teeth. Rinsing programs at school are "rinse and spit" so there is no internal benefit for growing teeth. We recommend either drinking 2 cups of fluoridated water daily or prescription fluoride supplements. Available by prescription at the dentist.
Home fluoride for adults is prescription-strength fluoride dispensed by the dentist for daily home use to harden the enamel and to reduce decay. It is TEN times stronger than fluoride toothpastes you can buy over the counter. In addition to helping prevent decay, it helps to minimize gum-line sensitivity. People who should use home fluoride are kids 12 and over and adults who have a history of decay, many old fillings, have sensitive teeth, are planning to whiten their teeth or who want to take the extra step to help their mouth be as healthy as it could be. The product we recommend and dispense at Dental Care of Stamford is prescription strength Take Home Care that has the right amount of Fluoride and is sweetened with Xylitol.
Only your dentist can get your teeth the whitest. And today, people who want to look their best, who want to look sharper and younger know that a white, bright smile says a lot about you even before you say a word. Tooth whitening can be done at home with custom made bleaching trays and professionally dispensed safe and effective products. At Dental Care of Stamford, we have bleached thousands of people's teeth from teenagers to grandparents. It works, it's safe and it's extremely economical. Call us at (203) 883-4433 for details. If you have already bleached your teeth and need a touch up and have your trays all you need is a refill kit of bleach material. For people who want very rapid results and would rather have us do the bleaching instead of doing it at home, laser tooth whitening is available.

The research comprised discussion groups with senior leaders in schools and colleges and telephone interviews with representatives from five national bodies with a role in supporting delivery, including representatives from further and higher education and employment.
The findings were presented to senior staff at OCR and supported by a full written report which informed OCR's planning and decision making in response to the reforms.

More About People with Guns–the Right Kind of People!/
You know by now I've been wary of the growing infatuation with guns in our society. My concern is for those that may face moral and ethical temptations to use them for the wrong reasons. The Christian has a much higher standard to answer to than the Second Amendment ( as important as it is), state gun laws (as good as they may be), and sloganeering by secular political and advocacy groups (as clever as they may be). So, I've issued a caution to Christians when it comes to equipping ourselves for deadly conflict.
This past week, though, I got another view of the gun question, when I visited chaplains of the Arizona Army National Guard. Of course, military chaplains are unarmed non-combatants, and for very good reasons. I'll explore that virtuous philosophy in a future post. Instead, here I want to reflect on the women and men these chaplains serve. They are virtually all remarkably brave and professionally trained bearers of weapons. One soldier, who may have misunderstood my position on the issue, made an emphatic point of telling me, "I'm trained to kill those that want to kill you. I don't shoot to take life, I only shoot to save life."
His was a poignant remark, and one I quickly came to fully appreciate as I talked with the men and women in uniform that serve our country at great risk to their own safety and that of their families. Though I've been around military people for a long time–and I've done plenty of funerals at Arlington Cemetery–for some reason this visit brought the whole thing home to me in a way I hadn't seen it before.
First, I came to realize just how highly trained, rehearsed, and restrained our military professionals are in the use of lethal weapons. The ones I met were extraordinarily self-disciplined and conscious of the moral gravity of their task. In a conversation with their senior chaplain, I learned how the vetting process goes on whether or not to use lethal force, how it can be done with the least amount of civilian collateral damage. Chaplains advise on these literal life-and-death decisions because along the entire chain of command there is a serious commitment to neutralizing dangerous, life-threatening enemies while protecting innocent non-combatants.
The average Christian will never have to think about these things, let alone execute decisions that will take human lives, sometimes on a grand scale. Only a miniscule number of us will ever need to process in prayer the affect of the killing of a fellow human being on the soul. One chaplain told me a soldier that mistakenly identified a car on the battlefield as filled with terrorists, but instead he killed an innocent couple and their small children. The soldier was so deeply traumatized by the tragedy that he committed suicide.
These highly skilled, but overwhelmingly compassionate and goodhearted souls, must not only risk their lives, but their consciences and reputations as well. They do it by taking on an onerous responsibility most of us would rather pass on. They must risk incurring guilt, shame, and sin, being labeled baby killers, monsters, and invaders. Worse yet, they risk being ignored by those of us that can't relate to the otherworldly experiences that have permanently altered their lives.
In my humble estimation, there is a HUGE difference between the men and women in uniform that train exhaustively, operate under strict command and regulation, expose themselves to both grave danger and severe reprimand and punishment because of the use or misuse of their weapons and the rank amateurs like me that may want to empower ourselves like soldiers, but shirk all the taxing demands they willingly endure–again and again–to earn the right to bear arms to protect us and our country.
Pardon me while I say it like it is: Taking on the power of life and death over other human beings with no corresponding demand on our souls, psyches, and mental and physical prowess, cheapens the commitment of the exceptional men and women I spent time with this week.
God bless our military for taking our safety so very, very seriously.
"[T]he one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." — Jesus (Luke 12:48c)

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- As with Christmas and Hanukkah, the Muslims' Ramadan also seems to have come under the influence of commercial trappings, reports The New York Times.
In a report from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, the newspaper said the month of Ramadan has brought holiday cheer with cash registers ringing in the malls, although traditionally the occasion calls for fasting, prayer and reflection on God.
Marketers and businesses in the Islamic world have caught on to the potential of 1.3 billion people at home fasting or breaking their daily fasts and getting back to normal life, the report said.
In Dubai, the shopping malls remain open until early in the morning.
"Ramadan is changing from a religious month to a cultural or social event," says a Saudi management consultant in Dubai. "You're using faith to commercialize something else. It doesn't feel right."
Sheik Ahmed Abdelaziz Haddad, the grand mufti of the Islamic Affairs Department in Dubai, said: "The problem isn't that people are trading and doing business. It's that people have taken this month to be a month of shopping."
He says Muslims who take the month lightly are doing themselves an eternal disservice, the report said.

The Indiana Certified Crop Adviser Conference will be December 18-19 at the Indianapolis Marriott East, 7202 E. 21st St., Indianapolis, IN. It will include speakers from 10 states, including nine Purdue Extension educators, on topics spanning nutrient, soil and water, pest, and crop management.
"Our speakers have a great deal of expertise and are some of the most knowledgeable professionals in their particular crop management areas," said Tony Vyn, a Purdue agronomy professor and a conference organizer. "Our Purdue speakers participated in replicated field-scale research and on-farm trials at over 40 Indiana locations in 2012. They have a great deal of soil-specific and environment-specific experiences to share."
The conference's first day will be devoted primarily to drought-related topics, such as agronomic and meteorological recaps of 2011 and 2012, soil fertility updates, refuge strategies, and climate-resilient crops.
The second day will include sessions on tools and techniques such as vertical tillage, equipment selection for precision farming, crop models and ear mold management.
The conference is geared toward CCAs, but registration is open to farmers, Extension educators, graduate students and agriculture retailers.
"We have fabulous speakers and relevant topics, and that combination is put together with the participant in mind," Vyn said. "We're also providing the educational units that Certified Crop Advisers need. This is one of the best educational opportunities available. With the four tracks, attendees can choose between four or five different offerings at any one time and pick up educational units where they need them."
This is the 10th year of the conference planning partnership between the Field Crops Extension staff of Purdue and the board members of the Indiana Certified Crop Advisers.
Registration is due before Dec. 12. Participants can register here. Cost for CCAs is $195 for both days, $100 for one day; cost for non-CCAs is $300 for both days or $150 for one day.
For more information, contact Lisa Green at 765-494-4783.

By Nicholas St. Fleur, The New York Times. For GSS Climate Change chapter 8. Excerpt: Climate change has narrowed the range where bumblebees are found in North America and Europe in recent decades, according to a study published Thursday. The paper, published in the journal Science, suggests that warming temperatures have caused bumblebee populations to retreat from the southern limits of their travels by as much as 190 miles since the 1970s. Logic would suggest that the northern reaches of their home turf would shift to higher latitudes by a corresponding distance. But that has not happened, leading researchers to think that the more northern habitats may be less hospitable to them. "Bumblebee species across Europe and North America are declining at continental scales," Jeremy T. Kerr a conservation biologist at the University of Ottawa in Canada who was the lead author of the report, said at a news conference. "And our data suggest that climate change plays a leading, or perhaps the leading, role in this trend." Not all entomologists agree with the findings, saying that the paper offers evidence of a correlation between climate change and waning bumblebee population ranges, but does not make the case that warming temperatures are the main cause. Instead, they say that a multitude of factors contribute to the bumblebees' shrinking borders, and that a changing climate may be just one factor.... http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/10/science/bumblebees-global-warming-shrinking-habitats.html

Lopez: House version of auto excise tax better
Car manufacturing under the government's automotive resurgence program would take a hit from higher excise tax rates passed in the Senate, possibly affecting the creation of jobs in the process, Trade and Industry Secretary Ramon Lopez said.
Lopez said he preferred the auto excise tax rates proposed in the House version of the first tax reform package under the Duterte administration. Compared to the Senate's version, this gave smaller rate increases for units registered under the CARS program.
The Comprehensive Automotive Resurgence Strategy (CARS) provides perks to participating car companies to produce 200,000 units within six years. It has two registered participants, market leaders Toyota Motor Philippines Corp. (TMP) and Mitsubishi Motors Philippines Corp. (MMPC).
Under House Bill 5636, the tax rate depends on the car's price bracket. For example, cars with a net manufacturing price of up to P600,000 would get a three percent excise tax rate in the law's first year of implementation, and then four percent the following year.
Senate Bill 1592 simplifies the system, offering only two rates: 10 percent for those priced up to P1 million, and 20 percent for those that exceed that amount.
Lopez said the car firms might reconsider the number of units they would be manufacturing.
"In the end, it's the manufacturing activity you are creating. If they are successful, that means the manufacturing activity would grow, creating more jobs and more local content. If the increase is super big, [there] would be a slowdown. That's why our wish is closer to the House version," he said.
Both TMP and MMPC joined the program during the last stretch of the Aquino administration, or prior to talks of increasing excise taxes. Representatives of both car companies did not provide the prices for their CARS-registered models.

Prove to me you've got some co-ordination
We've all done this before. When it was your prom or it was date night, you felt the need to outfit-coordinate with your partner. Sure, it was cute at first, with you guys (the couple) looking like a winning team. The coordinated looks cemented your 'unbreakable' bond through some fashion solidarity. Everyone ooh-ed and ahh-ed , it was magical and unforgettable. Putting sarcasm and cynicism aside ( I'm a recovering romantic) , the case of coordinated outfits is one that I find quite curious. Is it really the best option? Should we have left the coordinated looks at prom night, where it was still age-appropriate? Am I reading too much into it? Lets broaden the scope a bit. Coordinated outfits are not only unique to couples; friends do it as well. Does this make it any less different?
Lets flashback to a couple of years ago; my second year in college. My best friends and I, two very lovely young ladies, hung out all the time. As it is with friends, if you spend enough time together, you begin to think everything you do, as a group is awesome. Sometimes, you might end up coordinating outfits because you all have the same article of clothing. In this particular situation, we all had white skinny jeans. Someone (me) thought it would be a great idea if we all wore our white skinny jeans to school on the same day. We all did, and the minute we met up for lunch and actually saw each other, we gave each other a knowing look that we had goofed big time. We definitely got a lot of attention that day. We got called different group names because we were apparently dressed like "a pop band that was trying to make it in the world".
Don't get me wrong, we looked great individually, but together, It looked off. I mean our friends took pictures of the three of us walking together, and we literally looked like we had cancelled our legs. We ended up stretching the truth and telling people who had asked if we had planned it , that we had no idea we were all going to be wearing white skinnies because we were that embarrassed . That was a hilarious day.
The point of that story is, in some situations, coordinated outfits usually aren't the best option for a plethora of reasons. Firstly, not every color or style is a good fit, or will complement everyone, I mean, we've all seen pictures of Destiny's Child before they all went solo. While the entire group looked amazing most of the time, sometimes, their outfits completely missed the mark because some colors that worked for Beyoncé or Kelly did not exactly work for Michelle and vice versa. The unforgiving part of the internet has not let us forget the unflattering Destiny's Child images with majority of the internet trolls taking it out on poor Michelle Williams who always seemed to be styled less flamboyantly and exciting than her band mates. Now, there is a website called 'Poor Michelle' that was created by anonymous people with the sole purpose of compiling all her unsavory fashion moments while she was meant to coordinating outfits with the group either during photo-shoots or on the red carpet. It's mean-spirited but also kind of hilarious.
Secondly, it might be quite outdated to color-coordinate outfits. In this age of self-expression and individuality, color coordination just doesn't cut it anymore. Personal style is the trick of the trade and finding a healthy balance while synergizing two aesthetics is the new best way to coordinate with your partner.
Of course in some cases, coordinated outfits are necessary. In Nigeria where traditional weddings call for specific colors to represent the families of the bride and grooms, color coordination is unavoidable. What we have done with this cultural norm has been nothing short of amazing. The "aso-ebi' game has been upped on so many levels. Wedding guests are constantly raising the bar and infusing global styles into their outfits and coming out with looks that are extraordinarily original and perfectly personal.
So what is your verdict on coordinated outfits? Maybe they do work in some cases. Maybe it's just evolved past wearing similar colors. Maybe it is something more complex. Could coordination of style be the new way to show solidarity? Whatever the case, I still think its extraordinary how it has gone from simply wearing the same white pants as your friends and matching each other to subscribing to similar style aesthetics and color groups as your partner or friends and making it work in a way that only you can pull of. Coordination has become subjective in its objectivity and its only going to continue to evolve with time.
