Dentaurum looks forward to welcoming participants from around the globe from 19 – 20 October to an interesting workshop on TADs (temporary anchorage devices) and SUS2 (Sabbagh Universal Spring) with renowned speakers.
Recently, Dentaurum Implants' comprehensive training "Expert in Dental Implantology" was initiated successfully. In cooperation with the Faculty of Medicine at the Friedrich-Alexander University (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg, the participants from four different countries improved their knowledge in implantology.
Everyone is making their way to Cologne to visit the International Dental Show. For those not able to attend in person, Dentaurum holds something special in store - an experience as intense as if you were there, digitally, on the Internet.
In May 2017, Dentaurum Implants offers a comprehensive training in implantology. In cooperation with the Faculty of Medicine at the Friedrich-Alexander University (FAU) Erlangen-Nürnberg, the participants will become "Experts in Dental Implantology" within only nine days…
In 2016, five Dentaurum tomas® TAD (Temporary Anchorage Device) events took place under the motto "Dentaurum Quality – Worldwide Unique". Around the world, orthodontists were able to learn about the diverse application options for skeletal anchorage using the tomas®-pin.
More than 300 guests recently attended the International Dental Conference organized by Dentaurum Implants in Berlin. This year's implants event highlight has left a lasting impression with its interesting lectures, practical workshops, an unforgettable evening event and perfect organization.
In November 2015, Dentaurum USA celebrated the 10th anniversary of the market leading tomas® pin. Over 70 participants enjoyed a varied program featuring international lecturers at the Boca Raton Resort & Club in Florida.
A combination of informative lectures, interesting hands-on workshops and diverting evening events… This is what the first Polish User Conference organized by Dentaurum looked like. 45 participants could also test the new CITO mini® implant line for the first time.
The event highlight in implantology, the International Dental Conference organized by Dentaurum Implants, will take place April 22–24, 2016 in Berlin.
Dentaurum achieved again the seemingly impossible with the 2nd Orthodontic Symposium: Virtually all senior managers of orthodontic hospitals in German-speaking countries came together before fascinating Salzburg scenery on 8 and 9 May.
Dentaurum Implants celebrates a double anniversary this year: Both the company and its continuing education program for implantology have been successful in the market for 20 years.
Just in time for the beginning of the IDS, the Dentaurum Group will present a virtual 360° tour of its 330 m2 booth. Internet users will have easy access from their PC, tablet or smartphone.
Dentaurum will once again welcome a series of high-profile orthodontics professors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland at the 2nd Dentaurum Orthodontics Symposium. The event will take place May 8 and 9 of 2015 in Salzburg, Austria.
On June 20 - 22, 2014, the International Advanced Training Course organized by Dentaurum Implants took place in the Sheraton Hotel in Munich. "tioLogic® - Quality creates trust" was the main theme of the two-day course.
In eighteen years of experience, Dr. Ngadhnjim Domi has become a true implantology expert. He openend his own clinic "Ars Medica" in 2007 in Prishtina, capital of Kosovo.
On this year´s International Dental Show in Cologne, the Dentaurum Group will not only welcome visitors on its traditional exhibition booth, but will also offer a virtual tour of it to all visitors of the company homepage.
The interactive product catalogues are now available as an app for iPad, iPhone and Android devices.
More than 200 participants from 20 countries were treated to a comprehensive programme at the Westin Grand Hotel in Frankfurt as part of the tioLogic® Advanced Training Course.
The Dentaurum Group planned something very special for the 125th anniversary of the company.
Normally the Mediterranean island of Malta is populated by holidaymakers. However, from 22nd to 25th September 2011 there was a completely different picture against the backdrop of the impressive St Julians.
The 125th anniversary of Dentaurum, a family-owned company and the 15th anniversary of Dentaurum Implants - these are reasons enough for celebrating together with our clients at this International Jubilee Implantology Congress.
Apart from innovative, high-quality products, a distinctive feature of Dentaurum Implants is its first-class training programme. Last June an international audience from 17 different countries met in the Dentaurum Training Centre in Ispringen, Germany, to participate in the renowned scientific Training Course 2010.
Over 30 dentists and dental technicians from various countries across the globe followed Dentaurum Implant's invitation to Ispringen, Germany to attend an implantology course with excellent speakers. The focus of this event was centred on immediate implantation, as well as sinus lifting with the innovative tioLogic® implant system.
This year the IDS offered visitors to the Dentaurum stand the unique option of finding out more about current trends and continuing education in prosthetics and conducting active discussions with well-known lecturers and experts..
Service is important for the Dentaurum Group. In addition to a wide range of courses and continuing education seminars in the fields of orthodontics, prosthetics and implantology, Dentaurum provides outstanding service projects such as the remanium® kompendium, the o-atlas, the tomas® illustrated atlas of skeletal anchorage and the Dynamics of Orthodontics.
At the Centre for Dental Communication (CDC), the training centre run by the Dentaurum Group in Ispringen, Tiolox Implants held its "International Training Course" for the 7th time.
On 17th June 2006 the first course on "Producing a gnathological SET-UP" was held in Athens at Dental Link, representative of the Dentaurum Group in Greece.
The Dentaurum Group training centre in Ispringen, the Centre for Dental Communication, was recently the venue for the third highly successful course on the lingual technique with Dr Olivier Sorel of the University of Rennes (France).
In the Dental Communication Center of the Dentaurum group in Ispringen, Germany, TIOLOX Implants conducted the "International training course" right at the beginning of the year. 50 implantologists from six different countries took part at this successful education event according to the principle "dental implants and a new type of bone augmentation material for more quality of life".
Last July a group of Korean orthodontists visited the CDC – Centrum Dentale Communikation, the Dentaurum Group training centre. After a stay in Munich, the Korean guests visited Ispringen on their tour of Germany to find out about the Dentaurum magic® lingual system.
Already a fixed institution: The Ispringen Dentaurum Group's "Product and Sales Training" course. An international cast of participants proved once again the large need in all countries for training and information, something readily welcomed by all.

As fans await Star Trek Into Darkness with both excitement and apprehension (early reviews have been mixed), all eyes are on what J.J. Abrams has brought to the latest installment of the rebooted Trek franchise. To be fair, he has attempted to step up and take the reigns of a major franchise and he also now has Star Wars on the horizon, but it remains to be seen if 2009's Star Trek was lightning in a bottle, or if the sequel will falter despite the presence of a strong cast and a tremendous-looking performance from Benedict Cumberbatch as the antagonist.
In a recent interview with Star Trek Magazine, Abrams talked about trying to make a Trek film for both the average moviegoer and the die-hard fans, stepping up the villain, if a third film is planned, how he'll balance directing duties for Star Trek with Star Wars, and more. Hit the jump for what he had to say, and be sure to pick up the latest issue of Star Trek Magazine for much more on the film. Star Trek Into Darkness opens in IMAX 3D on May 15th and 3D and 2D on May 17th.
Via Star Trek Magazine (Available at all good magazine retailers from May 7, 2013).
Since the first film came out, fans and entertainment outlets have been relentlessly suggesting and speculating about where the sequel could go. Couple all of that chatter with 40-plus ears of actual Trek canon to consider and you could easily become fetal in the corner with indecision. Abrams says he and his writing team bypassed that by leaning on their trusted internal instincts:
"I think certainly Bob [Orci], Damon [Lindelof] and Alex [Kurtzman] are in tune with what the fans are saying and what they want. While I am as well, I feel like those guys are more wired, or wireless, than I am. I feel like anecdotally I hear what certain people are saying. I came to this [franchise] as more of an outsider. I entered this world really intrigued by it, but not really a pre-existing fan. However, Bob is obsessed," he laughs. "I feel like the great thing about that was that we were able to be aware of the chatter, just like in the first movie, hearing what people might want, or not want, or expect or resent, or have to be concerned about. At the same time, Bryan (who had never seen an episode) and I were able to approach this with a spectrum of points of view. While people were [suggesting] things, none of that really mattered much to me, because I felt I was coming from the point of the moviegoer who just wants to be entertained, understand, and care about the world and the characters. I will say nothing matters more to us than the fans, and making sure they are getting something they love. But having said that, we can't make a movie for pre-existing Star Trek fans, we have to make a movie for moviegoers, and if you happen to be a Star Trek fan, you'll benefit because we are looking out for you, and we respect what you are bringing to the film."
Abrams also touches on Benedict Cumberbatche's John Harrison, who will have a very deep story that will work for new fans and old.
"Nero was a wonderfully worthy adversary for a newly-forged team, but [here] we needed someone who would get under their skin, and challenge them in a way they could have never survived when they first came together. We always knew it was going to be more of an extreme story, pushing limits dramatically and emotionally. There would be more questions of who to trust, and of manipulation and difficulty, rather than just a raving, lunatic Romulan. We were going to have someone who could push the buttons of the crew, and test the mettle of their relationships. So we always knew we would go darker, deeper, and really see what it's like for these people to experience that, and can they get through that gauntlet alive."
The director says that Cumberbatch rises to the challenge of being all that and more in the film.
"Damon suggested I watch Sherlock, which I had not seen. And like everyone who has seen it, I was gripped by his brilliance, his speeches, his sense of humor, and his voice is unparalleled. You cannot deny that he brings a crazy power to whatever he does. And ultimately, because of the story of Benedict's character, Kirk ends up being challenged in a way that is very specific to his story. I think it ends up being something that does push Kirk to a place he's never been before."
Fans already wan to know if there will be a Trek 13, and if the films were conceptualized to tell a story in three parts…
"I wouldn't say there has been a trilogy planned. I would say there are a number of storylines that get us excited. We really are taking this journey one step at a time, and while there are a lot of ideas we have now for what might be a third movie, it's really up to the audience to determine if that is something that comes to pass."
However, the big question is: will Abrams be able to helm the next instalment, considering his job as the director of the new Star Wars film? Abrams chuckles,
"In the category of one step at a time, we're finishing this movie. I would say I have put too much of myself – we all have – into this world and these characters, that my involvement in the next film is without question. I love this whole universe, and these people, too much. If I end up directing another movie, that remains to be seen. We'll finish this one first then we can talk about the next one, if we get so lucky."

"We Must Meet Hate With Love." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Last night we watched, If We Had No Moon. Pretty interesting. The whole time we were watching it I thought, Luke must be bored (Isabel had already fallen asleep) a lot of this stuff is probably over his head. After it was over he said he LOVED it. He is really into anything science. Today we made our poster that we will take with us to the Martin Luther King Jr. parade. I glued the Unity Wreath onto some poster board. Then at the bottom wrote "We must meet hate with love." -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The kids colored it, drew hearts, etc.
Luke and Isabel wrote in their journals. I especially liked what Luke wrote. His journal start was, "When I am eighteen years old, I will be..." He wrote, "preparing to be a missionary, building robots, studying hard, playing the piano and still making stories." So cute. Luke had a math test while Isabel started a new math lesson. Now Luke is reading and Isabel is listening to books on tape.

Freddie Mac's total mortgage portfolio declined at an annualized rate of 10% in December compared to 6.9% in November.
The steeper decline comes amid much discussion about how to pull the influence of Freddie and Fannie Mae out of the mortgage finance market, making room for private capital. The government-sponsored enterprise ended the year with a total mortgage portfolio valued at $2.08 trillion.
Freddie's single-family loan purchase and guarantee volume hit $23 billion in December, making up 76% of the entire portfolio. That is down 14% from November when the guarantee volume hit $27 billion, representing 71% of the portfolio.
The company completed 5,591 loan modifications in December, down from 6,886 in November. The December tally brought the total for the year to 109,174 completed loan modifications.
Fannie's current aggregate unpaid principal balance on its mortgage-related investments portfolio fell to $653.3 billion in December from about $663.23 billion in November.
The GSE's seriously delinquent rate on single-family homes remained mostly unchanged, edging up from 3.57% in November to 3.58% in December. In addition, the multifamily delinquency rate declined from to 0.22% in December from 0.28% the prior month.

The NIST on a Chip project in the Atomic Devices and Instrumentation group is focused on the development of compact, manufacturable, low power, SI-traceable calibration instruments using atomic vapor cells. We anticipate such devices could be broadly used in industrial settings for in-situ calibration of instruments and systems. This technology is inspired by past work on chip-scale atomic clocks, which were invented at NIST and have been successfully commercialized. Specifically we are developing:
- Length standards based on precision optical spectroscopy of atomic vapors confined in a cell
- Time standards based on miniaturized cold atom technology
- Current standards based on accurate magnetometry
- Temperature standards using Doppler thermometry
A presentation summarizing the NIST on a Chip program made to the NIST Visiting Committee on Advanced Technology can be found here.

Deborah Blau's work follows a long tradition of aesthetic theory of the Sublime, or fearsome, in nature. In the representation of American landscape, really in its infancy in the early nineteenth century, the application of the Sublime was virtually unprecedented, and moreover accorded with a growing appreciation of wildness. However, this long standing fascination with the Hudson wilderness theme is subverted or recalculated by Blau. Her feminine, and sometimes dark and intimate explorations in a limited palette cast a new shadow over this long standing aesthetic dialogue.

Some brides carry bouquets as a symbol of happiness, others throw them to distract the crowd, and others see them as a custom of enhancing the atmosphere of the wedding ceremony. In some countries, brides carry bouquets and throw them to her bridesmaids. Whoever catches the bouquet is believed to be the next bride. There are a lot of reasons, including a history of tradition, that brides carry bouquets.
The tradition of carrying bouquets can be traced back for centuries. In Ancient Rome, brides carried or wore flower garlands, as they believed that flowers signified new beginnings, fidelity and hope for fertility. According to Howstuffworks, brides in the Middle Ages carried garlic and dill instead of flowers. These strong smelling spices and herbs were believed to ward off evil, ill health and bad luck, and people clutched spices and herbs in front of their mouths and noses in a desperate attempt to avoid the pandemic and survive.
In the Victorian era, lovers often sent different flowers as a way of expressing their love. Each flower held a different meaning, and the exchange of flowers soon became popular and was linked to romantic love. Flowers became a part of wedding ceremonies because of this romantic association.

Take a look, you'll see.

Students used to ask me frequently why reading the prescribed novel for a course was necessary. It was a question that often left me stumped. I could have taken the parental approach and answered, "Because." But that was inadequate and not really fair.
No, one book wasn't going to make them smarter. That's not what reading is supposed to do. Well, certainly not in and of itself. And especially not if your course tells you exactly which book you need to read then parse right down to its base elements.
So when High Performance 1 coaches are asked to read a couple of books on coaching or leadership then review them as part of their written assignment, the resulting queries are inevitable. Is this book good enough? What about the life story of X? Can I use this 45-page compendium of inspiring quotes? How about this manual on the teaching of skating?
It's a particularly interesting challenge when many of the younger generation of coaches admit they don't read much, let alone books. So those of us who teach such seminars and need to assess coaches' work face a bit of a dilemma. Are we forcing coaches into the same corner students had in high school, which is to read an actual book, against what their habits and interests may be? Or are we legitimately raising the expectations bar to develop elite coaches?
I say raise the bar and keep it high. The reading and reviews of two books is not onerous and may never be repeated in that coach's lifetime. In fact, it may open some doors to coaches who didn't know there even was a treasure trove of great literature about leadership and coaching, and little of it having to do with hockey.
An elite coach—not just a coach of elite players—never stops learning and explores all avenues to improve their skills and development. Books are merely one means of doing so, which is why I believe it's a vital component of the HP 1's final assessment.
Our group leaders at the seminar compiled a lengthy list of appropriate books. Even with that, some coaches inquired about works which weren't really what the exercise was meant to do. We had to tell them that one should be able to complete a book about coaching or leadership and gain some further understanding about the breadth and depth of their own roles and how they can improve themselves as elite coaches.
The aim isn't to make elite coaches smarter, no more so than the high school student forced to read a novel. But we don't know what's behind closed doors until we open them.

A simulator allows you to test functionality of a product without running it in a production environment. This helps pretty much eliminate the threat of a trainee shutting down your entire product line/business/whatnot because they entered "a" instead of "b". A good example of this is using a product such as VirtualBox or VMware Workstation to see if you like a particular operating system, without doing anything irreversible to your hard drive.
CISCO also comes with a simulator to allow people studying for the CCNA to test various functionality with the product.
A Simulator in any case is a practice of creating a real-like scenario and then studying the application of various methods and their impact/results. Like army simulates war like situation and drills out how they plan to win.
In software quality a simulator is a tool (or is done manually) to raise a mock but real situation, during testing, before the product is released to customer, and then see its effect, if it passes or produces some bugs.
Another way the word simulation is used is when bugs list has been handed over to production team to fix them, and if the developer is not able to produce a bug reported by QA, a tester simulates the bug (produces the bug) to display it to the developer so that he understands the scenario and fixes it.

Limitations of GDP
There are several limitations of GDP as a welfare indicator. Most of them can be traced back to the fact that in essence GDP is not supposed to measure well-being. As a result the concept does not account for various important factors that influence social welfare. To keep things simple the most relevant limitations are listed below:
GDP does not incorporate any measures of welfare
This is probably the most obvious issue. As mentioned before, GDP only describes the value of all finished goods produced within an economy over a set period of time. There are multiple ways to calculate and measure GDP, but neither of them includes any indicator of welfare or well-being. Even though this does not necessarily mean GDP cannot be a good indicator of welfare, the fact that it is used as a "proxy of a proxy" should be kept in mind as it significantly affects its validity.
GDP only includes market transactions
As a result, it does not account for domestic or voluntary work, even though these activities have a considerable positive impact on social welfare, as they complement the market economy and thus improve the standard of living. On the other hand GDP does not include black market transactions or other illegal activities that may have a substantial negative impact on overall social well-being.
GDP does not describe income distribution
If there is a high degree of inequality when it comes to income distribution, the majority of people do not really benefit from an increased economic output because they cannot afford to buy most of the goods and services. Thus to accurately describe social welfare it is essential to consider income distribution (for more information see also the Gini index).
GDP does not describe what is being produced
Since GDP measures the value of all finished goods and services within an economy, it also includes products that may have negative effects on social welfare. Think of a country with an extremely strong armaments industry that represents most of its GDP. If the arms are sold and used within the country itself, overall social welfare will most likely decrease. Of course this also holds true for other goods and services that may have adverse effects on society.
GDP ignores externalities
Economic growth usually goes hand in hand with increased exploitation of both renewable and non-renewable resources. Due to this overuse, more and more negative externalities arise (e.g. pollution, overfishing) and social welfare will decrease as a result. This effect is not included in GDP at all.
If we look at these aspects, the major issue with GDP as a welfare indicator becomes quite obvious. It suggests that a higher GDP always increases social well-being. However at one point the positive effects resulting from the increase in consumption opportunities may be outweighed by the negative effects associated with the limitations mentioned above. Hence although GDP may on certain occasions be a good proxy for social welfare, it results in a biased description that may lead to unfavorable conclusions.
Alternative approaches
In view of the shortcomings mentioned above there have been various attempts to develop more accurate and reliable indicators in order to measure social well-being. Among others these alternative approaches include the Human Development Index (HDI), the Gross National Happiness Index (GNH), and the Social Progress Index (SPI).
Human Development Index
The Human Development Index is an indicator that focuses specifically on people and their capabilities to assess the development and welfare of a country. In particular, it measures achievements in three critical dimensions: health and life expectancy, education, and standard of living. The latter is measured by gross national income per capita. Thus HDI also includes an indicator of economic activity, but it adds two complementary dimensions which results in a more comprehensive description of social welfare.
Gross National Happiness Index
The Gross National Happiness Index takes a holistic and psychology based approach to measuring social welfare. It was developed in Bhutan and builds on four pillars: governance, socio-economic development, cultural preservation, and environmental conservation. These four pillars are further classified into nine areas and measured by 33 specific indicators. The large number of distinct indicators used in this concept allows for a very sophisticated analysis.
Social Progress Index
The Social Progress Index provides an extensive framework that is based on three key dimensions: basic human needs, foundations of well-being , and opportunity. Again, social progress for each of those dimensions is measured by a multitude of indicators. Those include but are not limited to: nutrition, medical care, and safety (basic human needs), education, wellness, and sustainability (foundations of well-being), and personal rights, freedom, and tolerance (opportunity).
All these approaches take into account multiple dimensions to provide a more comprehensive description of social welfare. Although it is not feasible to completely replace GDP as a welfare indicator anytime soon, it could be used in conjunction with these alternative approaches to provide more accurate and profound results.

JEFFERSON CITY • Gov. Jay Nixon on Friday granted pardons to clergy members prosecuted for trespassing after a protest in the Missouri Senate led lawmakers to suspend session.
The protesters had been calling for Medicaid expansion, and they were arrested by Capitol police in 2014 after refusing to leave the Senate gallery.
Typically, charges for these kind of political demonstrations are dropped or not pursued by prosecutors, making their ultimate jury trial and conviction unusual.
Sixteen of the 22 members prosecuted applied for executive clemency. The remaining six found guilty said they wanted the conviction to stay on their records.
The pardons announced Friday round out a total of 110 acts of clemency granted by the departing governor – 106 pardons and four commuted prison sentences.
In his eight years as chief executive, Nixon, a Democrat, has granted more pardons than any other governor in the past 30 years, according to the Associated Press.
His second and final term ends Monday, when Republican Gov.-elect Eric Greitens is sworn into office.

Confidence is a state of mind.
It is also a skill that takes practice. Your unconscious mind wants to keep you in your comfort zone where it feels safe but often confused on how to succeed.
In other words, you only have confidence if the task is not new to you. Practice is the only thing that will build confidence and greater skills.

When I was in grade school waiting for the bus to come and take me to school, I remember complaining to my Mom that I wished it was already Friday. She said, "Wait until you're 21; they all fly by." As a typical kid, I rolled my eyes at what my seemingly ancient Mom (then in her early 30's) had to say. Guess what? I now have the wisdom to know she was right.
Days do fly by whether we like it or not. So why not make the most of our days and like them and our experiences a little bit more every day? What if changing our focus, attitude and outlook made the biggest difference? Because it usually does.
What if you could change your mind and realize that your current conditions are temporary? What if you stopped projecting negativity onto your future? What if you stopped watching and listening to the news? What if being an optimist and focusing on and moving toward the wellness and goals you desire becomes easier the more you do it? How do athletes excel at what they do? Practice, practice, practice – and a coach and a team and fans…
Here's an example. One respondent to my survey said she liked my video but found the information overwhelming. My guess would be that she didn't download the free eBook that gives step-by-step instructions. But let's say she did download it, but just had too much going on in her life and found it difficult to not revert back to old habits. That's easy to do.
When you want to make a change in your life, what must you do? Create a plan and consistently stick to it until you reach your goal. Also, you must make adjustments as necessary to the plan to accommodate what's going on in your life.
The same is true for healing symptoms currently attributed to ADHD. The video presented the big picture of how the meme of ADHD came to be. It took years and systems to create that meme. It won't change overnight nor is it any one person's responsibility to change it. It's just information. We're all in this together. What you do with that information is up to you.
My suggestion is to start with one thing. Begin with the issue that is causing the most upset for you, your child and your family. Focus on healing that issue until it is gone or manageable as naturally as possible. Then as your intuition guides you, tackle another issue, and so on. If it involves other family members, make each change a family decision that everyone can buy into. When everyone knows WHY something is a good idea despite what "others" are doing, they just might see the value in changing it which then inspires them to stick with it.
Everyone, including children, have beliefs that rule their behavior. If you can get to the belief that drives the problem behavior and get them to reframe it, that's called coaching and it can work miracles with new results. Take a look at my previous post for examples.
If you need assistance, get support. You never have to go it alone. Life will move forward whether you're on board as a pessimist or an optimist. Why not make your experiences as joyful as you can. Change is the only constant so expect miracles because everything is temporary and God is everywhere.
Enjoy infinite blessings!

Corporate Dictatorship or Democracy?
Posted June 5, 2013on:
I recently posted an action item which I don't usually do. However, censorship is something I experience personally and it continues to spread regarding natural solutions for health as well as our right to share that information and give testimonials. I believe I have a right to choose how I treat or prevent an illness in my body as well as tell others about it so they have the right to choose for themselves. Every "body" is different. Everyone knows the required disclaimers regarding "checking with your doctor first…." We all have the right to know and share alternative health-care options and then choose for ourselves – especially since every drug comes with known side-effects. Is America a corporate dictatorship or a democracy?
The link I posted previously is no longer accessible so I am removing it. Was it a true or temporary action item or a hoax which is so common on the internet these days? I unfortunately run into things like that on my journey to heal the myth of ADHD.
Even state legislatures now experience issues regarding their right to pass laws to label GMO's. Connecticut started the ball rolling as is their right, but they know there is safety in numbers and require other neighboring states to follow before they act on their own new law. I assume they don't want to be sued by biotech companies as so many farmers do who lose their farms. I ask again, is this a corporate dictatorship or a democracy?
The American people are waking up. Parents have the right to know what they are feeding their families and pets.
I have posted the link below to the World-wide GMO labeling laws before, but it is worth repeating. It shows how far behind the United States and North America in general are regarding the people's right to know what you eat and feed your families.
Please share this post if it calls to you.
To your health!

A reminder of where I've been as I go where I must-
a guilty heft in the pursing of my lips, watch you
devour and devour my hum, my breath
& now I see, and now I hear, and now my teeth--
they rattle in my mouth and I feel them, I feel them.
Bring shame to my feet say here, look at this what
you've made, what you've allowed yourself to
unravel & then I remember a crowded row
of all types of me, I remember men passing and passing.
I remember my body being feast and paralysis, decadence
and shamble, all for the taking- how I stumbled careless
through years and people and a whole world's grit to be seen.
There is a single moment, though, that I am tethered to.
Every daylight in which I leave my parents' driveway —
there is my mother crying, my father's face looking only
to the dirt, and me breathing and breathing.
In knowing you and your tests, I am honest, if for no good
reason but to run away. For you, I am a door open, a body
closed, a prayer whispered into breath in the cold. For you,
I am learning of mercy for the first time. I am learning.
For you, there is only a single direction, and that must be
a place divine and forgiving-
forward, forward; I know my name,
sanctuary, blessing, a fallable thing.
He was always a good boy, Alhamdulillah,
cocked back his neck and let stream flow out of
him, asked for forgiveness.
Always, he did that.
He used to come home from football practice and I would
hear him crying, begging Allah for mercy, mafi. And I think
he received it after all. I don't mean he received mercy for
all that gunah & drink & boy in his bed.
I mean he seems free now, without a bottle or an animal's
extra arm on his lips. but I think he always misunderstood
and he still does.
Nobody ever tries to go to jannah for themselves, for their
single soul to float in all the selfish language of worship
holding their fickle good.
Nobody ever pulled the best pieces of their spirit out of
themselves without help from their universe, their dunya,
their mothers.
Nobody ever gets to jannah getting there for themselves,
I mean.
They go to again be with their families- to be with them
away from death. I always prayed for his mercy, prayed
for him to think about mine. I think he does, but he tells
me he'll always be an alcoholic, sharabi mess.
So that's what I put into this world,
what I made.
Now, I pray for my own mercy, too. Mashallah I raised a
good thing —
a selfish, powerful boy.

What is the difference between a Minimum IFR Altitude (MIA) and a Minimum Vectoring Altitude (MVA)? (May have multiple answers.)
A MIA is the minimum altitude for IFR aircraft in each sector.
MIAs are published on aeronautical charts for airways, routes, and standard instrument approach procedures.
An MVA is a deep dark secret known only to TRACON controllers.
An MVA is used by radar controllers because the MVA can isolate specific obstacles and permit lower altitudes than MEAs, MOCAs or other minimum altitudes.
If you enjoyed taking this interactive quiz and would like to see more like it, go to the IFR Quiz page. And if you thought it was unfair, confusing, or a waste of time, we'd like you to tell us that, too. And if you have an idea for a subject that you think would make a good future IFR Quiz, be sure to let us know.

General Wall Installation Instructions
Most of my sculptures need to be mounted on a wall, and in many cases the angle of mounting is critical. This is a step-by-step guide on the best way to install a sculpture at the correct angle.
Note: Not all of my sculptures require a template. If yours does, it will be in the original box along with the instructions packet. The template is generally a large 24" x 32" piece of Masonite.
White Water Installation:
I have chosen White Water for this demonstration because it has two parts. Some of my pieces do, many do not. This set of instructions provides you with guidance, not exact steps for your particular sculpture. Use this in conjunction with the printed instructions that came with your sculpture.
Unpacking the sculpture:
- Open the box from the side labeled "Open This Side".
- Remove the directions packet, with screws and anchors, and the Masonite template. Save the template, even when installation is complete. You will need it when the painters come!
- Explore in the packing material and look for a center axle. Lift the sculpture out of the box by picking it up at a main axle.
- Do NOT remove the blue tape holding strings and/or springs in place!
Tools Needed for Wall Installation:
- Screw driver, or power screw driver with long phillips head bit.
- Level
- Hammer
- 1/8" drill if using anchors in sheetrock wall
- Drill
Wall Installation:
- Open the directions packet and review the specific instructions for your sculpture. Look for the image of the sculpture on the template. You will notice that required clearances for each side are noted. This is the distance the template must be away from any obstruction - the ceiling, a cabinet, a door or window, etc. Here is the page from the White Water instructions:
Position the template:
- Notice the template needs to be placed with a clearance of at least 8" from the left, 14" from the ceiling, and 2" from the right.
- Place a screw in the upper most hole on the template.
- This step might take a little fussing and the assistance of a partner would be helpful. Hold up the major sculpture element to see if it is visually centered in the space. Spend time getting the placement correct so you don't have to fill incorrect holes later. Mark the location of the top most screw hole.
- Position the template on the wall at the location where you determined the upper most mounting hole should be positioned. Screw the screw in part way, enough to mark it on the wall and to temporarily hold the template in place.
- Hold a level along the bottom edge of the template and adjust the template so that edge is level.
- Note the bubble in the level is exactly between the marks when it is level.
- Keeping the template level, screw in a second screw, this one only needs to go in part way, enough to hold the template level and to clearly mark the wall.
- Place a screw in all holes on the template and screw them in far enough to mark their locations on the wall.
- Remove all the screws and the template from the wall.
- Note: I did not use anchors in this demonstration. I change sculptures frequently for work and need to be flexible with holes. I recommend using anchors in sheet rock and provide basic ones with the sculpture.
- Insert the anchors. Start by drilling a 1/8" hole in each of the screw locations. Insert the anchor and gently hammer it into the wall.
Mounting the Sculpture:
- Take the one part of the sculpture (if it is a multi-part one like White Water), place a screw in the top hole and screw it into the hole you created in the wall. It often helps to have an extra pair of hands for this step.
- Place a screw in the lowest hole for this piece and pivot the sculpture on the top screw until the lower screw lines up. Watch from the side to make sure you screw it directly into the hole and not off to the side.
- Screw all the screws in place. The number differs on every sculpture.
- White Water has two parts. Screw the second part in using the same process as part one.
- You might need to spin the wheels so that the screw driver has access from the least restrictive area.
Remove Blue Tape and Final Assembly:
- Now, once the sculpture is in its final location, you can remove the blue tape. Be sure to tape it back up if you ever decide to take the sculpture off the wall even just to paint.
- Follow the printed instructions to complete the installation. For White Water you need to add the belt. This is another job that is some times easier with an extra pair of hands.
- The belt springs have a little hook at one end and a loop at the other. Hook them together.
- Make sure all springs are in their respective pulleys and that none have slipped out.
- Wind the sculpture according to the printed instructions.
Important First time Winding Instructions:
- The first time you wind up this sculpture after unpacking or moving requires special attention. Shipping may have caused parts to move unexpectedly.
- First look for obvious things that might have come out of alignment in shipping. (Belts out of pulleys, strings out of slots, etc.)
- Only wind the spring TWO turns for the first run. Make sure the metal band is winding inside the larger spool walls. If it isn't, shift it so that it does. It should be fine for all future windings. A short run will show you if parts slid out of alignment during shipping.
- If it doesn't run as expected call David at 860-341-1234 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Wind only until you see the red warning tape. Do not over wind. Over winding will eventually cause the spring to separate from the spool.
Once the sculpture is wound, sit back and enjoy the motion!

Smart Metering Technology Promotes Energy Efficiency
Zimbabwe stands to save more than US$120 million worth of energy a year if it speeds up the installation of smart meters, which have the capacity to reduce transmission and distribution losses, energy experts say.
An independent energy solutions expert Mr Ben Mavedzenge, said if Zesa accelerated the installation of smart meters, it could realise huge savings as customers better manage and reduce their energy consumption and costs.
"Accelerating the installation of smart meters is the way to go," he said.
"The (other form of) prepaid meter system (currently being used) is costing the country heavily in terms of transmission and distribution loses.
It's a closed system that has serious short comings.
We need efficient and dependable systems such as smart meters which can reduce our energy costs."
His comments come in the wake of plans by Zesa Holdings to pursue the path to smart meters after the energy utility realised the serious technical risks associated with the other two year – prepaid meter system which was bleeding the company of a conservative US$10 million a month due to power theft and leakages.
University of Zimbabwe electrical engineering chairman Engineer Golden Kapungu, was quoted as saying smart meters could address problems associated with electricity theft and revenue leakages.
"I think the installation of smart meters is of paramount importance because the power utility will be able to establish what will be happening with electricity consumption," he said.
"Maybe the problem will be that of funding because these smart meters also need to be connected to the smart grid.
So, I am not sure whether we have the capacity to sponsor such a kind of system upgrading."
Zesa announced recently that it will spend more than US$100 million to install 300 000 smart units and a further US$7 million to procure a Meter Data Management central system.
"The accelerated deployment of open smart metering technology will result in Zimbabwe realising savings in excess of US$120 million more than what was envisioned with the pre-paid meter system," Mr Mavedzenge said.
The open smart metering technology, he said, had numerous aantages for customers.
"With an open smart metering system customers can have the benefits of enjoying new products and services through the development of a process that makes it simple for customers to identify and find new products that will work with the smart meter system.
"For example, the smart meter system can also be used to measure water among other products.
The new meters can also provide information that helps customers take aantage of market pricing to better manage their energy costs."
Energy experts say smart meters with teleprocessing device can offer a platform that assure higher speed, effectiveness and user friendliness in the relationship between the power utility and its customers.
Superseding analogue meters, a smart meter runs on a digital system and supports complex automatic data transfers.
Smart metering, they say, lets customers know how much power they are using and in what ways, communicate usage data remotely and choose among competing suppliers without having to replace the meter.
From the power utility's standpoint, smart metering improves network operation, speeds up troubleshooting and enables remote implementation of contract changes such as new connections, cancellations, new tariff options and more.
The open smart metering technology was tested and piloted in 2012 by Connect the World, a local energy solutions company together with ZETDC.
ZETDC, the Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries, Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce, the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority, Standards Association of Zimbabwe and the Ministry of Energy and Power Development have all endorsed the open smart metering technology after the success of the trials.
If the smart metering technology was rolled out fully, energy experts say, a supply of about 900 MW could be enough for the country as energy savings are realised and consumers cut their power usage.
Using the current system, Zimbabwe would need up to 2 200MW, an amount which the country could not meet with the present energy production infrastructure.

Do you come home from work to find freshly dug holes or destruction of gardens and garden furniture? If so your dog is trying to tell you something and you need to listen. One of the major causes of destructive behaviour (digging and chewing) at home is due to the dog having nothing to do with all his energy while you are gone. The longer the dog 'practices' being destructive, the harder and longer it will take to reverse the process so start now by enriching your dogs environment.
Ask us about a tailor made enrichment program for your dog.
Behavioural or environmental enrichment is simply anything that provides your dog with an activity, item of interest, change in the environment etc. in fact anything that enriches your dogs day.

– We believe in God Triune, one Being, three Persons; Father, Son and Holy Ghost (cf.2Co.13:14).
– We believe that God, the almighty Father, created heaven and all things therein, the earth and all things thereon (Gen.1:1; 2:1, 2) and that He maintains it all by his authoritative word (Ps.104:1-35; He.1:3).
– We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God (Jn.3:16), who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary (Lu. 1:26-35); who was crucified for our sins and rose again from the dead so that we could be pardoned (Ro. 3:24), and that we, by our faith in Jesus Christ our Lord, can have free access to this grace, in which we now stand (Ro.5:1,2); who ascended into heaven to appear before God as intercessor for us (Ac.1:9-11; He.7:25, 9:24); from whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead (Matt.25:31-46; Ac.17:30,31).
– We believe in the Holy Spirit (cf. Jn.14:16,17,26; Ac. 5:3), who converts us (Jn.3:5-8) and grants us what we now have obtained in Christ, i.e. the washing and cleansing of our sins and the daily regeneration and sanctification of our lives, until we shall be perfect, when we are set up in eternal life.
– We believe that all of the Scriptures (Old and New Testaments) were divinely inspired and, as such, constitute the infallible Word of God (cf. 2Ti.3:15-17).
– We believe that man is, by nature, a child of wrath (Ep.2:3), and that he cannot see the kingdom of God, except that he be born again (Jn.3:3-8).
– We believe that God gathers a church for himself by his Word and Spirit (cf. Ac.15:17) and the powers of hell shall not prevail against it (Mt.16:18).
– We believe it pleased God to let the church become visible through offices and ministries (Ac.14:23; Tit.1:5; 1Pe.2:9).
– We believe that, since the beginning, it has been the non-transferable duty of the particular office-bearers to prepare the faithful for their service in the edification of the body of Christ (Ep.4:11-16). As an example, the gospel was committed to trustworthy men, who were then able to teach others also (2Tim.2:2).
– We believe that revival always occurs from Above in times of decline (Jn.6:63). It is the Spirit who revives the dead men's bones (Eze.37:1-14), who empowers the faithful to become witnesses unto God everywhere (Act.1:8), and who is the guarantee that the preaching of the gospel will be blessed (cf. Ac.14:1). God promises the new life when his people ask Him the same in prayer (Ps. 85:6; 2 Chr.7:12-15; Jn.7:7, 8; Ja.4:2).
– We believe that true church regeneration (the fruit of revival) is the regeneration of offices, i.e. the particular office and the task of the believer as prophet, priest and king, since the taking of offices always occur in commitment to the local congregation (Ac.20:28; Ep.4:8, 11-16; 1 Pe.2:9).
– We believe that the faithful should be employed in an ecclesiastically structured way, and that they should be allowed to offer themselves for ministerial duties spontaneously (cf.1Pe.2:9). The ideal congregation functions like a "workshop," where everyone knows his duty and also fulfils it (cf. Jo.15:1-7; 1Co.12:7; 1Pe.4:10, 11).
– We believe that intercession, pastoral work and preaching are the actual duty of the church. The duty of the church as an institute and the duty of the church members do not encompass exactly the same field. The office-bearers of the church should attend to the flock (Ac.20:28) and prepare the members for their service (Ep.4:11-16). The church members, on the other hand, have a duty to fulfil in the secular world. This duty is actually unlimited in that it involves being the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Mt.5:13-16) and thereby to represent the new life in Christ all over the world.
– We believe that, although the congregation is left to its own resources to be spiritually independent (Ep.4:11-16), it is also Biblically correct that a congregation may receive assistance from the outside, since Timothy was sent to the Thessalonians to fortify them and to encourage them in their faith (1Th.3:2). This assistance from the outside should preferably be rendered at the request of the church council of the local congregation(s).
We believe that Heart Cry is a friend of the church and, as organization, it can be utilized beneficially by the churches.
Heart Cry SA is initiated by God, for His glory and for His eternal purpose. We believe that God has called us to be instruments in His hands to address this need. We are inspired by several key biblical principles and philosophies which provide the foundation since the birth of this ministry. Our objectives are to help people and churches to know and experience God more intimately that will dramatically affect their marriages, homes, churches, businesses and communities.
We are totally aware of the fact that Revival is the work of God. We realize we cannot advertise, create, imitate Revival, but we can co-operate with God to prepare the way for Revival. In our ministry we are totally dependent upon Him to send it.
Through the Connected process and resources on intimacy with God and revival
– establishing relational discipleship networks
– equipping and empowering workers through coaching
– mentoring and developing of spiritual leaders from where they are to where God wants them to be,
through retreats, seminars, training and conferences.
Vision – We exist to glorify God (through a revival amongst God's people and a spiritual awakening amongst the lost).
Mission – Our mission is to act as a catalyst of Revival (Personal, Marriage, Home, Church and Community) within the body of Christ's churches through a message of intimacy with God, revival and spiritual awakening
Our ministry is based on the following core values:
– Prayer (Jer. 29:12-14, Eph. 6:18)
– Stewardship (Luc. 6:38, 2Cor. 9: 6-8)
– Excellence (Ps. 8:9, Col. 3: 23-24)
– Integrity
– Servant heart and spirit (Matt. 20:27-28, Phil. 2: 5-8)
– Purity of Life
– Relationships and Networking
– Revival (Ps. 85, Isa. 64, 2Chron. 7:14)
Heart Cry SA is part of the international connection to the name 'HeartCry,' and a co-sponsor of the annual Heart Cry prayer for revival conference at The Billy Graham Convention Center:
"The vision of the 2017 FUSION Conference is to encourage spiritual fusion: that massive energy would be released as a result of leaders coming together to learn, pray, and strategize for action. We believe God's plan is to unite the various prayer movements and calls for revival, trusting God to give birth to an extraordinary wide-scale spiritual awakening.
The conference is open to pastors; ministry, prayer, and marketplace leaders; and others who are deeply passionate for revival and spiritual awakening. Therefore, during this urgent hour, when darkness is rapidly encroaching, and the spiritual and moral fiber of America is declining, we urge Christian leaders to prayerfully consider joining with other like-hearted leaders to seek Christ together."

The Start of a Tomato War
The tellings of La Tomatina's history are vague, with interpretations of the festival's origins ranging from practical jokes between mates, locals throwing fruit and vegetables at poorly performing street artists, to huge riots that escalated during other Spanish festivals in the area.
Let's get the facts straight… The happenings of La Tomatina history were never actually officially recorded (or if they were, they must have been lost in the tomato chaos because no one knows where they are), and all that are left are historian's interpretations and handed-down tales between family members. Perhaps the most accurate version of its history was during the festival of "Gigantes y Cabezudos", a Giants and Heads festival in which holds of parade of giants wearing costumes complete with grotesque heads (not the strangest festival we've heard of in Spain!).
During this festival, it is said some bystanders wanted to join the parade for a practical joke, and in barging through, knocked over one of the giants. This led to a riot between the parade members and bystanders. In the midst of it all, it is said that someone grabbed a tomato from a fruit stand nearby and pelted it into the crowd, beginning a food fight unlike any other.
La Tomatina – The Struggle
This is where the struggle begins… history has not been easy for the now world-renowned and remarkably popular festival. After some young Spanairds with their own tomatoes tried to replicate the food fight again for fun, the event was banned. With the following year's recreations of the tomato fight resulting in many young people being fined, punished and even imprisoned.
By 1957, 17 years after the first fight, the locals held a festival to celebrate the official funeral of La Tomatina, which boasted a large coffin with a big red tomato seated inside it. Upon this festival, the city council realized its popularity and decided to make it officially legal, thus giving us – the wild festival we see today.
Bits and bobs – La Tomatina facts
Grab a pen and paper, here are some facts about the festival.
• La Tomatina sees the sacrifice of around 150,000 tomatoes in just one hour
• "Palo Jabón" is the practise in which any daring competitors can attempt to the retrieve a ham that is situated at the top of a greasy pole
• The retrieval of this ham symbolizes the official beginning of the food fight
• The tomatoes come from Extremadura, where inferior-tasting varieties are specifically grown just for the big event
• 1980 saw the town hall take responsibility of organizing the La Tomatina festival for the first time

D.I.Y. 3 Minute Shade
Have you ever had one of those "oh s***, guests will be here tomorrow and I have no curtains or shades or any sort of privacy "filter' for the windows in the room they'll be staying in" freak-out moments? No? Of course not, because most people have their stuff together and will already have something on their windows knowing that visitors are staying during the holidays. Oh well, shoot me- I really thought that everything was going to be ready! I had ordered custom blinds from an online source (blinds.com) and they were supposed to have arrived the week before Christmas, but of course when you really NEED something, things tend to go awry. And I realized, just a few days before, that the beautiful roman shades I was so excited about, would not be delivered until everyone was back in their respective homes!
What is a girl to do? There was no way that I was going to spend any more money on drapery (custom blinds are NOT cheap!), so I had to use my noggin. I suddenly had this instant (and may I say-AMAZING) idea that would solve this very distressing issue ; )
Remembering that I had a bunch of fabric remnants in the garage, I decided to fashion my own shade using one of these pieces. After finding the largest sample, which happened to work perfectly with room's décor (yay!) I grabbed a yard stick, a hammer, some nails and left over ribbon.
What I did next literally took me 3 minutes-no exaggeration-3minutes!! And it was so easy that I expect to see all of your d.i.y. shade pictures on Instagram and Pinterest in the next week! First, I spread the fabric on the bed and placed the yard stick at the top.
Next, I folded in the sides so that the width of the fabric matched the width of the yard stick. That's right-no sewing required!!
Then I simply wrapped the fabric around the stick until I had my desired length. I hung the "shade" by hammering 3 nails directly into the window frame, BUT to do this so that the nails are not visible, you must lift up the last layer of fabric and hammer into the wrapped yardstick.
Finally, I strategically poked two holes with a leftover nail ( you heard that correctly, I didn't even bother to use a hole punch) into the middle of the shade and tied the bottom up. That's it!! When our guest was ready to retire for the night, the ribbons were untied and the shade was "drawn."
I have found some other fun fabrics (all from fabric.com - a great online source that I have used in the past for current AND affordable fabric) that would look great in any space...Now go get your shade making self to the craft table!
