Native Collagens belong to a new generation product family, one of the greatest recent skin care sensations.
Collagen is isolated from fish skin, as helices, at its molecular development stage. It is the only globally known natural set of peptides freely penetrating the epidermal barrier. Collagen is a "youth protein", constituting more than 30% of human protein mass and as much as 70% of skin proteins. Together with elastin, it creates a flexible net in the dermis, which ensures its elasticity and firmness, binds water and lipophilic substances as well as determines the condition of connective tissue, reflecting, in fact, the condition of the whole organism. At the molecular stage our collagen is transdermal, which is a feature not to be found in giant hydrolysed collagen particles, and its structure is almost identical to that of the human collagen.Native Collagens are anti-aging products which, unlikethousands of other face creams, eliminate the causes, not just the effects. Wrinkles are caused mainly due to collagen depletion.
• Colloidal nanogold (Axonnite) – acts according to the ionic pump principle: it speeds up migration of active substances and stimulates the cleansing process. It improves elasticity and suppleness. It also regenerates, intercepts UV radiation and toxins, brightens your skin and stimulates regeneration processes.
• Colloidal nanosilver (Axonnite) – is an extremely effective, natural antibacterial agent. It destroys over 650 different bacteria, whereas an antibiotic usually acts on no more than 10. Axonnite nanoparticles are about 10 times smaller than viruses and about 100 times smaller than the smallest bacteria. The substance helps cure burns, wounds that are difficult to heal, every type of acne, insect bites, herpes and atopic dermatitis.
• Azelaic – acid is used to treat the skin with acne, atopic skin, psoriatic skin, skin prone to erythema and with a tendency for folliculitis. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It reduces discolourations following steroid, drug-induced, juvenile and cosmetic acne as well as herpes.
• Lactoferrin – pink bioactive protein whose anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-acne properties are well-known in cosmetology. It blocks bacteria, such as those that cause acne, reduces eczema and inflammations, and also protects against bacteria and other pathogens.
• Chitosan – acts as an excellent "dressing" for reddened, irritated and dry skin, which is a result of disease or skin lesions. It soothes, regenerates and moisturises your skin in a truly unique manner.
• Retinol – is a pure form of vitamin A, regenerating skin cells. It also stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid and has photoprotective and brightening properties. It smoothes out the colour, reduces callosities, has anti-inflammatory properties and stimulates healing. It enhances blood flow in the skin and regulates the secretion of sebum.
Native Collagens
Native Collagens are a breakthrough of Polish biotechnology and a huge cosmetic sensation. Collagen is extracted from fish skin in the form of helices. It is a collection of peptides that penetrate the epidermal barrier stimulating fibroblasts that produce our system's collagen.
At the molecular stage it is transdermal and has nearly identical structure as human collagen. Native Collagens are anti-age products, that, unlike thousands of skin creams, do not fight the effects, but affect the cause of wrinkles. Their effectiveness is confirmed by clinical trials, including dermatological tests.
Native Collagen DNA combines nature and the latest biochemical engineering.
Collagen face cream DNA – repair and its protection is the most important element to make the skin look healthy. Native Collagen DNA is Native Collagen Pure enriched with active ingredients that are ahead of today's cosmetology, supporting and activating the natural processes to create connective tissue.
It intensely stimulates cells to function properly. The body has the ability to repair its nucleic acids. This mechanism, however, is disturbed, degraded and subjected to oxidative stress.
Native Collagen Pure is collagen in its pure form, resistant to heat and having a pH of approx. 5.5 – perfect for your skin. Hypoallergenic, contains no parabens, fragrances and artificial dyes. It is a product of a very potent anti-aging properties, effectively slows down the processes of formation of new wrinkles. Designed for the care of face, neck and décollete'. It is also perfect for the whole body, especially in burns, cuts and abrasions of the skin. It soothes the skin that is irritated by intensive cosmetic treatments. Native Collagen Pure supplements the skin with the protein of youth, gradually and non-invasively, without the need for invasive implementation. Because of its natural composition is a universal product, forthe whole family.
Native Collagen Gold is Native Collagen Pure enriched with nano-gold and colloidal nano-silver, azelaic acid, chitosan and retinol. This unique composition has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties and has enormous repair power. It has potent anti-aging nature. Designed for people with problematic, hypersensitive skin, prone to acne and in-flammations. The colloidal gold in synergy with collagen peptides acts as an ion pump: accelerates the migration of active ingredients, the exchange of microelements, stimulates the process of cleansing the skin. It prevents discoloration and has soothing, antibacterial and biostimulating properties. It has a pH = 5.5, which is natural for the skin.

Horden shootings: Convicted officer had gun licence role
A police officer who illegally sold guns to the public played a part in granting a gun licence to a man who shot three members of his family.
Michael Atherton, 42, shot his partner Susan McGoldrick, Alison Turnbull, her daughter Tanya and then himself, in County Durham on New Year's Day 2012.
Former Durham PC Damien Cobain was convicted of misconduct in a public office in 2010 and left the force.
An inquest heard he was part of a team that dealt with Atherton's application.
Taxi driver Atherton shot the three women in the back before taking his own life at his home in Horden.
In his evidence at the inquest into the deaths, Mr Cobain said he had never seen guidance by the Home Office or the Association of Chief Police Officers on the issuing of gun certificates.
Domestic abuse
Another officer, Karen Bromley, who was a supervisor in the Durham Police firearms office, told Crook Coroner's Court: "There was no formal training, I'm not aware of any formal training in firearm departments.
"Ninety per cent of application forms were straightforward."
This led coroner Andrew Tweddle to describe the force's procedures as "more of an ad hoc arrangement".
Atherton legally owned six weapons, including three shotguns, despite him having a history of domestic abuse.
Ms Bromley said she had attached a note to Atherton's file in 2006 that said: "Four domestics, last one 24/4/04, was cautioned for assault. Still resides with partner and son and daughter. Would like to refuse, have we sufficient info to refuse re public safety?"
But despite this he was granted a shotgun certificate and a firearms licence two years later, the inquest was told.
Mr Cobain left the force after his conviction in 2010, when he was given a suspended sentence for selling on guns due to be destroyed after being surrendered by the public.
Earlier Home Office pathologist Dr Nigel Cooper said Mrs McGoldrick, 47, Mrs Turnbull, 44, and her 24-year-old daughter would have died quickly after receiving their shotgun wounds, while Atherton would have died instantly as a result of a shotgun wound to the left side of his head.
The inquest, which is due to last five days, heard they had all been out drinking hours earlier, although tests showed this had not been to excess.
In the early hours of New Year's Day an argument broke out, which resulted in the shootings.
The inquest continues.

InSync New York Recap
This month Synechron brought together many C – level executives for its New York client event. InSync New York explored the latest in Digital Innovation including AI, RPA, Data Science, Devops and other fintech strategies.
Global Head of Marketing and Communications, Diana Kearns-Manolatos, kicked off the evening by discussing why Accelerating Digital is a top agenda item for our clients and some of the latest Synechron achievements to support that objective, including the launch of Synechron's 5th Accelerator program: AI Data Science. The Accelerators include four business use cases to help financial services and insurance firms solve complex business challenges by discovering meaningful relationships between events that impact one another (correlation) and cause a future event (causation).
Our keynote speaker for the evening was Huw Richards, Digital Head of Investment Banking at J.P. Morgan. Huw discussed his vision for a Digital Investment Bank and the two key paths for change: become more efficient only or truly transform business operations.
Synechron's US Head of Blockchain, Tim Coates moderated a panel of experts from TIAA, J.P. Morgan Chase, Microsoft, and BNP Paribas. The panel covered challenges and success stories on topics such as DevOps, Digital, Cloud, RPA and AI. Our talented experts provided a thought provoking and engaging panel discussion.
Key points covered included:
- What Accelerating Digital means to each organization, how to approach Digital strategy, and where Digital sits on the organization. The group determined that Digital strategies often sit in various parts of the business, including innovation and technology, but the most successful projects are those that involve the business and a pluralistic approach.
- The significant culture change needed to implement agile working practices and DevOps. It is important to shift focus from IT-only to be more communication-based to foster collaboration and flexibility needed to innovate.
- The major trends with Cloud, including multi-cloud strategies and the move toward going serverless. By going serverless, institutions can quicken their time to market, better stability and management of development and testing, and see less wastage in time and effort spent, as well as less costs due to spending based on usage. This allows firms to fill the pre-requisite for compute power many new innovations, like those powered by AI and blockchain require, while combating cost pressures.
- Data Science and the need for model governance to train use cases and automate test cases.
- Customer centricity and how banks are taking increasingly a platform and open API approach to banking, while at the same time understanding that flexible architecture choices allow them for future flexibility as their business needs change.
- Building ecosystems and focusing on B2B2C strategies. Financial institutions need to change the way they engage with their customers and how they provide value. Customer experience and UI/UX, cross-organizational workflows, transaction processing for multiple parties using API/microservices or blockchain, the ability to provide data and analytics, and predictive power will be essential building blocks to creating an ecosystem for banks.
After our panel discussion, our guests had the opportunity to enjoy cocktails, hors d'oeuvres and visit one of our demo stations featuring Synechron's AI Data Science Accelerators, Blockchain Accelerators, and Experience Design work in the Harvard Club's Cambridge Room.
The evening concluded with a delicious dinner and live music in Harvard Hall.
News, tweets and good stuff.

lovely latest buy
This is Isobel number 31 by theblackappleand she is mine! I really love Emilys collage work and am so glad I have been able to get one. She really matches my dining room, which also houses the computer, so might live in here, or maybe in Esmes new room.
Here are some other lovely things I have been looking at online recently.
Re.Bites beautiful silver brooches, and she will make up brooches personally to your specifications from the examples given, you can pick the felt colour and so on.
natascha rosenbergs red riding hood picture in a box, I am really into red riding hood at the moment, and love this. A bit out of my price range though I am sad to say.
And as for these kids clothes from Farbenmix, I am so in love with these, I have just ordered a dress pattern and a few notions from her, but I dont know where to begin to make something as fantastic as these. Janina is so talented!

Restaurant Week rounds up business
Posted: Jul 1, 2012 1:57 AM EST | Updated: Nov 6, 2014 2:03 AM EST
SOUTH BEND, Ind. - One local restaurant is bringing in some extra weekend business thanks to Downtown South Bend's Restaurant Week.
We stopped in Cafe Navarre on Saturday and the General Manager said their big crowd had a lot to do with the specials they're offering for the event.
"I think a lot of people have a misconception about the restaurant dining in downtown South Bend, but there's plenty to offer down here and we all work together to try to be successful," said General Manager Larry Katz.
Eleven downtown restaurants are participating in the push to get more people to eat downtown.

Microsoft late yesterday confirmed a number of staff have been laid off at its Vancouver studio, and in the process two game projects have been canceled.
One of those projects hadn't seen a release yet. It was codenamed Project Columbia and intended to offer up an interactive TV experience for children using the Kinect motion controller. The second project is much more high profile, and is actually out and available to play. Microsoft Flight was Microsoft's attempt to reinvigorate its Flight Simulator brand under a new name.
It seems the game didn't see much success, but arguably hasn't had much time to build up a player base. Microsoft launched Flight at the end of February as a free-to-play title after it had been in development for just under two years. Revenue was set to come from premium features including buying new aircraft and DLC packs being worked on by the development team.
Microsoft is describing the decision as "portfolio management," which is basically a short form was of saying both projects weren't showing much, if any potential. Apparently flight simulators just aren't popular enough with mainstream gamers to make sense financially, in this free-to-play form at least.
It's unlikely we'll see Microsoft attempt to bring Flight Simulator back again any time soon. As for Project Columbia, the core idea may be picked up at another studio already working with Kinect, or it may make sense to integrate it into an existing Kinect project.
For the moment the Microsoft Flight website remains active and you can download the game. Microsoft has stated it will continue to support the title and the community, but with the team supporting it now gone, surely it wont be long before Microsoft starts considering when they can switch the servers off.

You'll notice some new graphic for the headers used on everything but the product pages. Oh how I love randomized header graphics. Furthermore I've got a bunch of stuff coming in and a bunch of stuff I need to take pictures of.
I went shopping in second hand stores yesterday and finally picked up the swedish Run Lola Run digipack from Atlantic. Not at a VERY good price but then again I really wanted this badly and now I don't have to spend a lot of time worrying that it's going to go of the market for some reason.
Yeah yeah, I know it's far fetched but it seems like this usually happens when I hold out for a swedish dvd just because I'm waiting for a price drop. I'm still trying to find the OOP digipack editions for The Boondock Saints and The Ninth Gate from Scanbox but these are usually nowhere to be found.

Fishing report for mid-July
From the Great Lakes of South Dakota Tourism Association:
Lake Oahe
In the Pollock area fishing is very good. Lots of boats coming in with limits and the weather has stabilized at the moment. Anglers are using crawlers and spinners with most fishing being done in shallow water around 6-14 feet.
At Mobridge walleye fishing is also very good but has been a bit spotty. The fish are not usually in the same place two days in a row. Anglers are using crawlers and spinners in anywhere from 10-20 foot depths. There is a good crankbait bite going in the back of creek arms in 8 feet of water.
At Akaska the fishing is getting good with anglers fishing in the 8-15 foot depths. Anglers are pulling plugs and also using crawlers.
At Gettysburg fishing has been good. Walleye are being caught in 6-16 foot depths using crawlers and leeches. Resorts are seeing a lot of fish limits coming in. Best areas are around Sutton Bay. If you're looking for smallmouth action, now is the time to be out on the water. There are a lot of smallmouth bass being caught. Again, they are catching the smallmouth on crawlers and leeches – many anglers get them along with the walleye and they are fighters.
Around Spring/Cow Creek the fishing is getting better all the time. The best areas are the Cheyenne arm and north around Bush's Landing and Little Bend. With the weather warming up the fish will start to move south quickly. Bait being used is crawlers, leeches and crankbaits in 2-30 feet. Salmon bite is good for those who know what they're doing. Anglers are using primarily herring, some squid and spoons. A sixteen pound salmon was caught Thursday morning. The salmon seem to be at any depth from 45-83 feet and the best area is from the face of the Oahe Dam to Snake Creek.
Lake Sharpe has seen relatively low traffic but walleye fishing is good in the Pierre area. The 15-inch limit is off during July and August. Anglers are using spinners and lindy rigs with crawlers, leeches and a few crankbaits in 4-18 feet. At West Bend the fishing is still going strong. Most fishing is being done in 6-15 feet with anglers using crawlers, leeches and crankbaits. If you have children or are just looking for a lot of rod-bending action it's the place to be. If it's windy a suggestion is to try inside LaFramboise. Best fishing on Lake Sharpe north of Chamberlain is from Iron Nation to the Big Bend Dam in 8-25 feet of water. When the wind is blowing most anglers are fishing in shallower water.
Francis Case
Around Chamberlain on Francis Case the fishing is good from Crow Creek to the Big Bend Dam in about the 15-25 foot depths. Anglers are using crankbaits and crawlers. Smallmouth are also biting in this area.
In the Platte area the water is going down from the flooding and ramps are open. Fishing is really picking up around Platte Creek. Again, crawlers, leeches and crankbaits seem to be the best for bait. The primary ramp at Snake Creek may be functional by this weekend.
At the Pickstown and Wagner fishing below the dam has been slow in the boat bay for walleye, with anglers finding the best bite on a jig and minnow. Walleye fishing has been fair to good from Pease Creek north and it has been a crawler bite in around the 30 foot depths. Some walleye are being caught on crankbaits around the 15-20 foot depths.
Around Lewis & Clark Lake the water temperature is 77. Anglers are having a fun time trolling for white bass using blue and silver Salmo's along the face of the dam. There have been a few anglers catching walleye along the Hobiecat area using jointed #4 Bleeding Blue Shad Wraps. White bass are being caught along the Midway Beach area.
At Lake Yankton largemouth bass fishing is going well using artificial worms and rattletraps. Blue gill are being caught using a worm harness and night crawlers.
In the Springfield area everyone is heading out to go Froggin' using a red jig and hook. There are also a great number of catfish coming through the shoots, along with northern.
On the Missouri River catfish are being caught using night crawlers. A lot of drum are being caught using crawdads. At the bubble down below, anglers are using night crawlers to get smallmouth bass.
For more information and up-to-the-minute reports on fishing Lake Oahe, please call West Pollock Resort, 605-889-2448; Kemnitz MoRest Motel in Mobridge at 605-845-3668. Call Bob's Resort at 605-765-2500 or South Whitlock Resort at 605-765-9762 in Gettysburg. On the lower end of Lake Oahe, call Spring Creek Resort at 605-224-8336 and Lake Oahe/Lake Sharpe call Carl's Bait Shop at 605-223-9453. On Lake Francis Case, contact the Platte Chamber of Commerce at 888-297-8175, and Fort Randall Bait & Tackle at 605-487-7760 in Pickstown. On Lewis & Clark contact Captain Norms Bait Shop at 605-665-4271.
*Please remember that the fishing conditions in our great state change constantly and this report is simply a guideline.*

What is aid? What is the UN 0.7% aid target and why has the UK adopted it? Which government departments spend UK aid? What impact does UK aid have? What will be the impact of Brexit on UK aid? These and other questions are answered in an accessible way in this briefing paper.Jump to full report >>
The UK's foreign aid programme was a source of considerable controversy during the 2015-17 parliament. Sections of the public and the media, along with some politicians, questioned the purpose and value of important elements of that programme. Although it has perhaps been less intense, debate about UK aid has continued during the current parliament.
Using a Q&A format, this briefing is an introduction to the UK's aid programme and some of the activities flowing from it around the world. It is not comprehensive in its coverage. It does not take a position on those issues which have generated controversy. Its sole objective is to support an informed debate.
We hope that it will be useful for Members and their staff – including when it comes to answering questions from constituents.
The briefing will be periodically updated but we cannot guarantee that it will always be fully up-to-date. If in doubt, members and their staff should contact the authors to check the status of the information that they wish to use.

New to the forum. I've just moved down here to Tathra on the NSW far south coast. Love my fishing but wouldn't rate myself too highly. Not bad with flatties. Came down here for a holiday and liked it so have moved down and getting settled.
I have a Quinny 3.85 Explorer with 25 yamaha and Minn Kota 55lb RT/SW iPilot. My boat has been kept as simple and uncluttered as i can get it and have been doing little things as i go. A casting deck is the next project.
Looking forward to posting a few pics as time goes on.
Greetings from Tathra

After dazzling women with his modern but timeless designs on the runway and red carpet for 13 years, New York designer Zac Posen presents his debut colour collection for M·A·C.

The star of the collection is the Eye Z You Eyeshadow Palette. The curated neutral shades in this collection are easy to wear on their own or fantastic when paired with the Fluidline Pen for a smokey eye. Lips are a focal point of any look; in this collection there are three edited shades for maximum impact. I'd never tried the Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder before. I found that as a finishing powder it was perfect. It's light and did a good job of setting my makeup for an all-day look.
The M·A·C Zac Posen Collection is available now in department stores, including Nordstrom and at maccosmetics.com. If you're looking for a fashionable makeup update, go for this collection!

Spy Fox: Operation Ozone gameplay video loading, please wait...
- Digital Download (5)
- Classic Box (2)
There are 5 shops proposing this game for download at an average price of $ 6.99.
There are 2 classic boxed games available for sale. Check shipping price and condition directly on shop page.
Spy Fox is back!
The Spy Fox series is a pretty decent set of junior point-and-click adventures that is notable for its lighthearted approach to the genre, making it feel a bit like the Monkey Island or Discworld games. This third entry in the franchise is another solid effort and makes for a good choice if you've got younger adventure fans in the house. The story here is very much inspired by James Bond, with our hero Spy Fox taking on the evil Poodles Galore as she attempts to destroy the world's ozone layer. Fox is aided by Professor Quack and his array of special gadgets which will come in handy as the dangerous mission unfolds. The game itself is a fairly traditional point-and-click adventure which requires exploration of various environments and the solving of puzzles while making use of the various gadgets. You've also got some mini-games to complete to add variety while there's a collection of eleven Spy Fox inspired music tracks to add some appeal. Operation Ozone is a pretty decent little romp that is sure to provide its target market with a good amount of entertainment. It certainly looks the part, with some lovely animated visuals that have a lot of character and personality. This is supported by the witty script which packs in a lot of jokes and which helps maintain interest in the story. The puzzles are generally well done although they might be a little east for some players but that really depends on their age and experience. Throw in the extra soundtrack and you have a good package that provides some fun entertainment.

Application Required: Apply Now
Applications may be submitted online at anytime. Sample Application
Many successful companies shape their high-level strategies by relying on simple rules, not complicated frameworks. Even established organizations can introduce a continuous stream of new products and services by simplifying their processes and encouraging an atmosphere of "structured chaos." Explore how simple rules can outperform extensive analysis and information. Practice the ideas in your own situation.
Learn to consider different time horizons when developing your innovative product or service. While short term innovation may require creating "genetic" crossovers between different growth strategies, long term innovation efforts will rely more heavily on "probing". Examine case studies to evaluate why some strategies drive innovation and others fail.
Learn How To
- Use simple rules as an alternative to complex processes
- Learn the definition of simple rules and key strategic processes. Learn to identify strategic bottlenecks and how different types of simple rules can help resolve some of these bottlenecks. Understand the importance of being in touch with real-time information inside and outside the organization.
- Recognize rhythmic elements as drivers for strategy creation
- Learn the concept of time pacing, one of the most neglected and yet impactful facets of strategy development. Learn how time pacing differs from the usual event pacing and why simply moving faster is often problematic. Learn how identifying the transitions between activities – from one new product to the next, from one acquisition to the next – are critical (just as they are in relay races in track).
- Develop strategies for multiple time frames
- Learn about the challenges of managing short-term growth strategy in the awkward time between the demands of today and the promise of the future.
- Translate current strategy into growth
- Learn the principles of probing into the future using disciplined experimentation. You will learn the difference between an experiment and a business, and why it is critical to develop a company identity, not a vision of the industry.

Plans for a funeral train that would have re-created the 1865 journey that took the president's body from Washington, D.C., to Springfield, Ill., have been scrapped because of a lack of funds.
"We were hoping to secure major sponsorship," Shannon Brown, a spokeswoman for the 2015 Lincoln Funeral Train, told the Los Angeles Times. "Unfortunately, that didn't happen."
The plans for the replica 19th century locomotive and funeral car trip had rail fans and history buffs buzzing for a couple of years.
GUIDE: Your travel guide to commemorating Abraham Lincoln's monumental life
A steam locomotive named Leviathan was built by Kloke Locomotive Works, based in Elgin, Ill., about 200 miles northeast of Springfield. That's also where the finishing touches are being completed for the replica of the president's funeral car.
"It's a work of art," Brown said. "It's absolutely beautiful."
The original rail car was built during the Civil War and completed just weeks before Lincoln's death on April 15, 1865.
"If you can think of Air Force One being on rails, that's what this car was originally built for," Brown said. "It was to be Lincoln's state coach, and he was to use it to travel the country."
People will still have the opportunity to view the train, Brown said. Organizers plan to move it by highway to Springfield in time for a reenactment of Lincoln's funeral May 2 and 3.
The rail car will be displayed at the city's Crowne Plaza hotel during a May 2 fundraising dinner. Tickets cost $75.
Brown said she hopes the train can be displayed in towns and cities throughout the eastern U.S. in the coming months and years as a "rolling museum."
In 1865, millions of Americans gathered along the tracks as Lincoln's funeral train slowly moved through seven states on its way to Springfield, where Lincoln is buried.

In January, a new leading actor strode onto the world stage. More powerful than most national governments and responsible for helping to set the economic and political course for 280 million people and almost a quarter of the global economy, the European Central Bank (ECB) is notable for something more sinister as well -- its almost complete freedom from democratic oversight and control.
The ECB represents the culmination of two trends: European integration and central-bank independence. But while the potential drawbacks of the first trend have been analyzed endlessly, those of the second have gone almost entirely unremarked. Leaving central banks undisturbed by their host governments has become an integral part of the neoliberal catechism. In fact, however, the case for removing such powerful institutions from democratic oversight is unproven. Allowing it to rest unchallenged both damages democracy and begs important questions about who the winners and losers of economic policy should be.
The ECB will be responsible for setting interest rates and managing Europe's new currency, the euro. The bank's decisions will affect economic development across an entire continent and help determine whether European integration succeeds. Yet the officials who make these decisions will not have to answer to the publics whose jobs and quality of life hang in the balance. The bankers will not even have to give Europeans much basic information on how and why bank decisions are made. To make matters worse, the bankers' priorities are essentially set in stone; the Maastricht Treaty itself gives the ECB the narrow mandate of keeping prices stable.
All this runs counter to a recent and much-vaunted global trend: the transfer of power from authoritarian elites to democratic publics. Few have protested this inconsistency, however. In a perverse twist, the insulation of central banks from popular control has become one of the chief contemporary signifiers of liberalism. In a secular version of Lent that is now the rage from Europe to Latin America to the post-Soviet bloc, democratic governments are proving their

A rare landscape situated at the edge of the world.
One of the most recently settled countries, Zealand is known for its awesome scenery, rainforests, boiling mud, beaches, and wildlife (a sample selection can be admired in the Lord of the Rings movie series). The country, connected to major international cities via air, welcomes passive and active travelers alike. Visits to easily accessible Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki and the boulders at Moeraki will yield gorgeous views. Strolling through the many parks, reserves and geothermal zones near Taupo and Rotorua are all quite enjoyable. Many travelers laze around and frolic on the calm east coast. Bird enthusiasts can amble through Rakiura (Stewart Island) and Papaitonga. The best surf breaks are along the Surf Highway 45, while photogenic expanses line the Twin Coast Discovery Highway. When these adventures whet your appetite, buy a meal for less than $10 at any modest eatery. Travelers love to cycle, drive, or walk through the country. However, buses, which can cost anywhere from practically nothing to about $5, are ideal for backpackers. Look for facilities labeled with the term "Qualmark," symbol of national quality standards, to avoid any disappointment.

Dental Implants Cork
Few things will affect your smile more than a missing tooth, and until recently there were few options to replace a tooth that had been lost or broken. It was either a choice between a bridge or a removable partial denture. Either way could often result in the collapse of the jaw bone due to the lack of tooth root support. This can lead to a sunken facial appearance as well as a damaged smile.
Dental Implants Experts in Cork
With the use of titanium implants, our Cork dental implants experts can replace the root of a missing tooth, which can then be used to secure a new tooth. Once completed, they look and have the strength of a real tooth, making them the best solution for both form and function to replace missing teeth.
Tooth Replacement Cork
What Are Dental Implants?
When replacing a missing tooth, dental implants are an option that must be considered. Dental Implants can provide a natural appearance, feel and stability, even if you are replacing more than one tooth. Unlike a bridge, where sometimes teeth next to the gap need to be cut, dental implants can provide a replacement without risking further problems with healthy teeth in the future. Along with preserving the teeth next to the gap, the dental implants can also stop bone loss, unlike a bridge or denture treatment. Once a tooth is lost, the bone begins to melt, which can be stopped by replacing the tooth with a dental implant.
How Dental Implants Work at Dental Options Cork
The first step to replacing a tooth begins with your dentist fitting the implant in the bone, directly in the position where the original tooth root was. This then anchors the new crown when it is attached, after a period of time where the implant can integrate with the rest of the mouth. After three to six months, Dr. Buckley will fit the final restored tooth.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Are Dental Implants?
A titanium metal screw or rod which is fitted into the jawbone. A dental implants then supports either one or several false teeth. Generally, the false teeth and the metal support are both known as 'implants'
I Have Some Of My Own Teeth. Can I Still Have Implants?
Yes you absolutely can. The dental implant technique is so versatile that you can replace any number of teeth using implants, from a single missing tooth to a complete arch.
Can Implants Always Be Used To Replace Missing Teeth?
This depends on how healthy your jaw is. Our dentists at Dental Options Cork will arrange for a range of tests to check how much bone is still in your jaw. If there is enough an implant can be used but if not or if the bone is not healthy enough, there may need to be a bone graft in the area first.
Space where tooth is missing.
1st stage of implant is placed in the gum, acting like a natural root
2nd phase Implant is exposed.
Abutment is placed to take the impression for the crown.
Crown is fabricated from the impression.
Crown is cemented in place.
Can I Have The New Teeth Straight Away?
Not immediately. The bone needs to bond with the new implant once it has been fitted, which depending on the person takes at least three months to be secured enough. In the mean time, a temporary restoration will be fitted if you are only having one, two or three teeth replaces. If you already have complete dentures, once they have been adjusted after the surgery they can be worn throughout the healing period as normal.
Are The Teeth Difficult To Clean?
In general, is is no more difficult to clean around the teeth attached to the implants as it is to clean normal teeth. However, there may be problem areas and our team will show you how to clean more difficult areas.
Can I Take The Teeth Out If They Are Fixed To Implants?
Not usually. Most artificial teeth attached to implants are permanent and can only be fitted or removed by your dentist. If you have complete dentures fitted by bars to your dental implants, you should be able to remove them in order to clean them.
Do The Implants Show?
Not when moving your mouth normally. Your dentist will make sure that aesthetically your implants will not show, however you do need to see them in order to clean them properly so they are not completely disguised.
Do I Have An Implant For Each Missing Tooth?
Only if you are only replacing one tooth. Each dental implant can efficiently secure two teeth and therefore only five or six are needed to replace the teeth in one jaw. If there are a few teeth missing, two or three implants can be used.
What If I Get Hit In The Face?
An accident can damage or break your implants, much like an accident can break natural teeth. The difference is that if a false tooth is damaged and the remains are left in the bone they can sometimes be harder to fix than natural teeth. Once you have healed, new false teeth can be place next to the broken fragments.
What Happens If The Implant Does Not Bond (Integrate) With The Bone?
It is a rare occurrence but sometimes the implant does not bond with with the jawbone. If the dental implant becomes loose while the implant is healing or very soon after, than it can be removed easily and the mouth will heal as normal. Once the healing process is complete, another implant can be place. Alternative, the dentist can use the false teeth taken for the implant and create a bridge.
Is The Treatment Expensive?
Our prices are available on the fees page, but will generally be between €2500 and €3500. In many situations where implants are necessary, the treatment cost is not much more than a conventional treatment using bridges and crowns.
There are many benefits as well which outweigh the extra expense. A bridge requires the teeth next to a gap to be cut, something which is not necessary when fitting a dental implant. Dentures often affect your speech and eating due to a lack of securing of the dentures themselves. Dentures attached to an implant are as secure as natural teeth.

Recently, under the guidance of the China Home Appliances Association and the Ministry of Information and Industry Development of the State Information Center, The "2017 China washing Machine ·clothes Dryer Industry Summit Forum", sponsored by China Home Appliance Network, discusses the currentsituation and trends of the washing machine industry. At the forum, data released by Zhonyekang show that from January 2017 to August, China's washing machine market retail volume of 23.38 million, an increase of 10.4, retail sales of 42 billion yuan, up 13.1%.
Leading enterprises outperform
Wei Jun, general manager of the division of Zhongyi Kang Bai Electric Power Company, said that steady macroeconomic growth and a round of growth experienced by the real estate market have played a significant role in driving the washing machine market sales. The demand for the replacement of a large number of products during the period of home appliances going to the countryside and replacing the old with the new ones began to be gradually released, bringing new vitality to the new categories in the period of introduction such as classified washing, washing and drying machines, clothes dryers, mini machines, etc. Quality consumer demand growth to promote the whole washing machine market scale has risen steadily.
In the first half of 2017, Haier's washing machine business achieved revenue of thirteen billion eight hundred and forty-five million yuan, up 59.02 percent from the same period last year, while Little Swan achieved revenue of ten billion five hundred and sixty-eight million yuan, an increase of 32.35 percent over the same period last year.
The monthly monitoring data show that from January this year to August, the market share of the top three brands in the offline market increased from 58.3% in 2016 to 60.4 percent, an increase of 2.1 percentage points. The top five brands had a market share of 73.8 percent, up 2.3 percent from the same period last year.
According to Lu Shenghua, editor-in-chief of the State Grid of China, the concentration of market share in superior enterprises is the result of market competition. On the one hand, the rise in raw material prices since the second half of last year has caused a more obvious impact on small and medium-sized enterprises; on the other hand, Consumption upgrading puts forward higher requirements for technology research and development, and large enterprises have more advantages in integrating R & D resources.
Washing Machine Industry continues to be optimistic about Market prospects
Looking forward to the future development of the washing machine industry, relevant officials of TCL ice washing said that health will become a new hot spot in the industry and that TCL will carry out continuous, in-depth product and design innovation around pollution-free. Xu Dongsheng said that in the context of consumption upgrading, Residents' income continues to grow, especially as the rapidly rising middle class pays more attention to a healthy and high-quality lifestyle. If the product gets the attention of this group, it will receive greater market returns. Lu Shenghua predicts that. Brand integration in washing machine industry will continue. For small and medium-sized enterprises, it is the way out to grasp the market consumption trend and develop differentiated products that can meet the needs of consumers.
"in the long run, the market outlook for washing machines is optimistic." Boxi household appliances officials believe that with the introduction of the comprehensive two-child policy, the urbanization process continues to advance. Factors such as household appliances upgrade and upgrade demand fundamentally support the sustainable development of washing machine industry.
In addition, there is a general view in the industry that the market size of washing machines will continue to rise steadily this year in the face of fierce competition in the washing machine market. In terms of products, it meets the needs of users, such as "washing", "dry," "clean," and "clean." Will be the decisive factor in winning the market.

Published at Saturday, April 27th, 2019 - 07:30:59 AM. Worksheet. By Edmee Collin.
Of course, you will need to make multiple copies of the worksheet for your students. Consider printing one copy of the worksheet at home or in your classroom, and using the color copier in your school office, if one is available. If your worksheet has a lot of color on it, then it will use up your printer ink pretty quickly. If your school does not have a color copier, then consider taking the worksheet to a quick copy place like Kinkos or Office Max to run the copies for you. This won't cost you an arm and a leg, and your copies will be done quickly and easily.
Why I occasionally* pull out a worksheet: By occasionally, I mean less than once a month with my preschoolers at home. In the classroom, when I taught first grade and above, we used a couple of worksheets each day — but if I didn't need sleep, I would have replaced even those with more thoughtful activities. Sometimes, a worksheet is all that will do. When my kids have created letters in a variety of hands-on ways, it's time to practice writing them. You need a handwriting worksheet for that. When kids have explored math concepts in hands-on ways, a worksheet may be helpful for additional practice. In my opinion, an occasional worksheet doesn't hurt. Many educators would disagree with me on this one, and I respect their opinion. But I think that when worksheets are the exception, rather than the rule, of what we give our kids (even preschoolers), it's okay. I do think that we should never force young children to do worksheets. If your preschooler is not interested in (or even resists) a worksheet, Put. It. Away. You may also find that your preschooler is excited about a worksheet but wants to stop after a few problems. Let him! I don't think it's a bad thing to teach kids to sit for a few minutes and complete a simple pencil-and-paper assignment. And for young kids, I mean it when I say "a few minutes." Thirty minutes is not a few.

This is for my family... and for Maria! I'll settle this once and for all, with my own hands!
— Commander, Shadow the Hedgehog
The U78-X/D "Diablon" was a prototype[1] energy-charged weapon[2] built by the Guardian Units of Nations and is one of the final bosses in Shadow the Hedgehog. It took the form of a large red mecha that was directly or remotely piloted by the Commander and fought alongside Sonic the Hedgehog against Shadow the Hedgehog after the dark mission was completed in the levels GUN Fortress, Black Comet, and Final Haunt in story mode. Both Sonic the Hedgehog and Diablon were defeated by Shadow the Hedgehog by using the latter's weaknesses against it.
The Commander used Diablon to try and avenge those who died on the Space Colony ARK (Including Maria Robotnik and his family)[3] by fighting alongside Sonic in the hopes of taking down Shadow, whom he viewed as responsible for the incident on the ARK.[4] The duo fought well, but they were both defeated at the Ultimate Life form's hands by Shadow's exploitation of Diablon's weaknesses.
GUN Fortress Boss (Pure Dark)
After destroying the three Mother Computers in G.U.N.'s last stronghold on the entire planet, Sonic and Diablon confront Shadow in one last attempt to stop him from fully realizing the Black Arms' ambitions. After the Commander blames Shadow for the ARK incident and vows to destroy him, Shadow simply smirks and states his intentions to bring order to humans, and to make them "pay with their lives" for their crimes.
After Shadow defeats the duo, his inner turmoil drives him insane, and he regresses into the omnicidal living weapon of mass destruction that Professor Gerald Robotnik reprogrammed him to be. He vows to use the Chaos Emeralds to destroy the Earth, and laughs maniacally as he stands over a beaten Sonic.
Black Comet (Semi-Dark)
Sonic and Diablon confront Shadow after he fights off G.U.N.'s counterattack on the Black Comet. After the Commander blames Shadow for the ARK incident and vows to destroy him, Shadow simply smirks and states his intentions to bring order to humans, and to make them "pay with their lives" for their crimes.
After the duo fail to compensate for the counterattack's failure, Shadow becomes Black Doom's second-in-command, believing Black Doom's views that humans are evil. He vows to use the Chaos Emeralds to conquer Earth and turn it into a dark empire, before laughing maniacally as he stands over a beaten Sonic.
Final Haunt (Pure Hero, Dark)
Shadow is confronted by Sonic and Diablon after turning on the Black Comet's Defensive Energy Shields, sealing off Black Doom's inner sanctum from the impending counterattack by G.U.N., with Sonic questioning Shadow on why he would turn against Earth at the last minute and help the Black Arms when their defeat was seemingly imminent. Shadow then replies that he was not necessarily "siding" with the Black Arms, but his motivation for doing so was to oppose Sonic himself and prove his superiority by defeating both him and the Black Arms.
After battling the duo and emerging victorious, Shadow stands over a defeated Sonic, who in turn muses that he "didn't think [Shadow] had it in him". With the Chaos Emeralds in tow, Shadow proclaims himself to be the strongest hedgehog in the world, and laughs triumphantly.
Powers and abilities
Diablon was fitted with an electromagnetic barrier that, when activated, deflected most projectiles, including firearm shots,[5] laser blasts and even physical blows. In terms of weaponry, it had a laser cannon secured on its forehead that could fire long-ranged laser beams in any direction,[6] and also had a chargeable Antimatter Cannon[7] (反物質粒子砲 Hanbusshitsu Ryūshi Hō?, lit. "Antimatter Particle Cannon") which could destroy easily damaged objects in a large dome-shaped radius around Diablon after charging up enough energy.[8] Apart from that, the only other abilities Diablon was seen to use were hovering and moving around in the air by using its jet boosters, and swiping at enemies with its hands. It is stated in game that Diablon was a prototype and possibly not yet fully equipped for combat before being called into action against the Black Arms and Shadow.
Though Diablon's electromagnetic barrier could deflect various assaults, when the barrier was shut down so Diablon itself could strike its foe, it was considered "nothing but mere scrap iron"[1], leaving it wide open to firearm and physical attacks. The head appeared to be its weak-point, as Black Doom ordered Shadow to strike it.[9] It was also vulnerable to Chaos Blast attacks, even with its barrier in place. However, at the beginning of the fight, the head is too high to reach by simply jumping, so players must try and use the Homing Attack when Sonic jumps to propel Shadow high enough to hit the robot's head.
During the boss battle Sonic and Diablon, Diablon is the actual boss; Sonic cannot be damaged but can be knocked down. Shadow's guide during this battle is Doom's Eye.
You must use the Homing Attack on Sonic while Sonic is jumping to bounce off Sonic to reach and attack Diablon for the first quarter of the fight. Once around 25% of Diablon's health is depleted, its repulsers will fail, allowing the player to attack without having to hit Sonic first. It will use more attacks once on the ground and will still have its electromagnetic shield around it to protect it. It is vulnerable as it attacks, so hit Diablon while it is attacking. When the Commander says "Charge complete," get him to start using it and once he says "Antimatter cannon. Fire!", run out of the line representing the range of it. Watch out for Sonic, he will try to use homing attack on Shadow in the meantime. Jump to reflect his homing attack. When your dark gauge is full, use it as many times as you can, because Chaos Blast can pierce Diablon's shield, or you can grab a weapon when your dark gauge is full and exploit both your invincibility and unlimited ammunition to attack Diablon the moment it lowers its shield to attack.
Shadow can obtain a pistol around the room if you destroy the correct box. This is not necessary, but can be useful if your Dark Gauge is full which will give unlimited ammo. You can deal more damage this way than using Chaos Blast. This cannot pierce through his shield, so just fire as fast as you can when it's down.

- In all three endings in which Diablon was defeated, it was seen disabled but intact.
- Interestingly when you try to shoot at Sonic he will dodge left and right the same way as Shadow when dodging left or right while strafing.
- Strangely, when you try to let Sonic chase you by going in circles at Diablon, he will continue to run around the arena after the player stops moving and he will not harm the player during this process.
- Also, while battling on the Black Comet, if you will simply stay in one place from the beginning of the battle, Sonic will stuck in the arena, trying to reach you, while Diablon will stand in one place, awaiting for Shadow's approaching. This may continue forever.
- Although the Commander shouts "Antimatter Cannon, fire!" before he releases a blast of some sort of energy, the cannon is not likely to fire actual antimatter.
- Antimatter destroys everything it comes in contact with unless it's in the form of charged particles. Even so, the blast would still disintegrate everything it touched that was not already made of antimatter, including Shadow, Sonic, and the Diablon itself.
- Additionally, antimatter costs millions of dollars just to create milligrams of it and it is unlikely that even G.U.N. has enough money to create enough for one attack, let alone multiple.
- However it must be taken into consideration that antimatter may not work in the same way in the Sonic universe as in the real world as there exists other energies unique to the Sonic universe.
- Sometimes near the end of the battle, Sonic will 'hide' under Diablon and not attack any longer. This may explain why he is seen lying barely underneath it in the ending cutscenes.
- Diablon's name is derived from the Spanish word for devil, diablo. Coincidentally, whenever Diablon takes a swipe at Shadow, the Commander says "Hold still, you devil!"
- This is the second final boss in the series to be comprised of an upper torso and arms, as the first was Big Arm originally from Sonic the Hedgehog 3.
- In Final Haunt version of this fight when the Commander says "Energy charge commencing!" the subtitles read "Beginning energy charge!"
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Shadow the Hedgehog Black Doom: "Without the electromagnetic barrier in place, the prototype weapon is nothing but mere scrap iron."
- ↑ Shadow the Hedgehog Black Doom: "That energy-charged weapon is something of a nuisance."
- ↑ Shadow the Hedgehog The Commander: "This is for my family... and for Maria!"
- ↑ Shadow the Hedgehog The Commander: [To Shadow.] "YOU! You're the one who destroyed the ARK and killed everyone on it! It's time to settle this once and for all!"
- ↑ Shadow the Hedgehog Black Doom: "That weapon has an electromagnetic barrier that deflects firearm attacks."
- ↑ Shadow the Hedgehog Black Doom: "The laser weapon can fire in any direction."
- ↑ Shadow the Hedgehog The Commander: "Antimatter cannon, fire!"
- ↑ Shadow the Hedgehog The Commander: "Energy charge commencing!"
- ↑ Shadow the Hedgehog Black Doom: "Disable the barrier's generator, and aim for the head!"

Free. Solid keyboard. Good call quality.
Some performance hiccups. No front-facing camera.
Bottom Line
The T-Mobile myTouch Q isn't for power users, but it's a good introduction to Android for budget-minded texters.
Let's get this out of the way: The T-Mobile myTouch Q is no myTouch 4G Slide ($199.99, 4.5 stars). Heck, it's not even quite a myTouch 4G (4.5 stars). But that's not what it's trying to be. Instead, LG's first entry into T-Mobile's myTouch family is a free, capable Android smartphone with a good physical QWERTY keyboard. It's not for power users, but it's a good introduction to Android for budget-minded texters.
Similar Products
Design and Call Quality
The myTouch Q measures 4.8 by 2.5 by 0.5 inches (HWD) and weighs a hefty 5.6 ounces. My test model was gray, but it's also available in violet. The phone is made mostly of rubbery gray plastic, with shiny black plastic used to outline the display. The 3.5-inch capacitive LCD sports 320-by-480 pixel resolution, which is smaller and lower-res than the keyboard-less myTouch (Free, 3.5 stars), but it looks sharp and bright enough.
The phone slides open to reveal a four-row physical QWERTY keyboard. It features large, well separated keys that are slightly raised. They're easy to press, and typing on the myTouch is a breeze. Users accustomed to a physical keyboard will be pleased.
The Q is a quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and dual-band HSPA+ 14 (1700/2100 MHz) device with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. It also supports T-Mobile's UMA-based Wi-Fi calling, which is a great fallback in areas with less-than-optimal T-Mobile coverage and a good way to save some money on your phone plan.
Voices sound full and clear in the phone's earpiece, though they distort a bit at maximum volume. Calls made with the phone also sound good, with just a faint bit of fuzz in the background. Calls sounded clear through a Jawbone Era Bluetooth headset ($129, 4.5 stars) and voice dialing worked well over Bluetooth without training. The speakerphone sounds fine, but isn't loud enough to use outdoors. Wi-Fi-based calls sounded good as well. Battery life was average, at 5 hours 32 minutes of talk time.
Android and Apps
The myTouch Q runs Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) along with some very minor customizations from LG. There are seven customizable home screens you can swipe between that come preloaded with a bunch of different apps and widgets. There's also some non-deletable bloatware, but no more than you'll find on most other Android devices nowadays. You get free Google Maps Navigation for voice-enabled, turn-by-turn directions, and TeleNav's own GPS Navigator app is also on board. The Q should also work with the 250,000+ third-party apps in Android Market.
The 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 processor moves this along nicely for the most part, but I ran into some hang-ups that lasted several seconds. The delays weren't any worse than on comparable phones, and this isn't a high-end device, so I don't expect flawless performance.
Multimedia, Camera, and Conclusions
The myTouch Q comes with .95GB of free internal memory along with a preinstalled 2GB microSD card; my 32 and 64GB SanDisk cards worked fine as well. There's a standard-size 3.5mm headphone jack on top of the phone, and music sounded great through wired earbuds as well as Altec Lansing Backbeat Bluetooth headsphones ($99.99, 3.5 stars). The phone was able to play AAC, MP3, OGG, WAV, and WMA test files, but not FLAC.
All of our standalone video test files played back fine, at resolutions up to 720p. One hitch: Audio for videos worked fine through wired headphones, but was slightly out of sync over Bluetooth.
The 5-megapixel auto-focus camera comes with an LED flash. Shutter speeds are a bit slow, at an average of 1 second. But the camera snaps decent photos, with average color and detail. You won't want to get rid of your digital camera, but it's good enough for causal shots. The camera also records 720p video that plays back at a smooth 30 frames per second both inside and out. There's no front-facing camera, so video chat is out of the question.
The myTouch Q is up against several excellent keyboarded Android smartphones on T-Mobile. The myTouch 4G Slide is our current Editors' Choice. It offers a higher-resolution, 3.7-inch screen, a fast dual-core processor, and HTC's useful Sense UI layer. The T-Mobile Sidekick 4G (Free, 4 stars) is another great option that offers a higher-resolution display and faster HSPA+ 21 speeds, though its strong design sense may not appeal to everyone. And the Samsung Gravity Smart (3 stars) has great battery life and a nice keyboard, but suffers from poor call quality and a low-end CPU. So if you're looking for an inexpensive, entry-level keyboarded smartphone on T-Mobile, the myTouch Q is a solid choice.
Continuous talk time: 5 hours 32 minutes

Role of Spongiotrophoblast VEGFA during Pregnancy

|Full text PDF:
The role of placental VEGFA in placental development and maternal pregnancy adaptations is unknown. In this thesis, one or both copies of Vegfa was knocked out from the placental spongiotrophoblast region using a mouse Cre-loxP system. Surprisingly, in pregnancies carrying 100% conceptuses with a single deletion of Vegfa from the spongiotrophoblast layer, maternal circulating VEGFA increased by 20% accompanied by a 15% decrease in arterial pressure while no impairment in embryo growth was found. In pregnancies carrying 50% conceptuses with both copies of Vegfa deleted from spongiotrophoblast, 17% of conceptuses had been reabsorbed by late gestation suggesting a function for spongiotrophoblast VEGFA in sustaining early pregnancy. In conclusion, spongiotrophoblast VEGFA affects maternal function during pregnancy but the exact mechanism remains to be defined.

Jamaican cocoa fetches a premium price on the world market, and the country is recognised by the International Cocoa Association (ICCO) as one of nine exclusive producers of "fine or flavour" cocoa. There is great demand for this product, with a guaranteed market of 1500 tonnes annually.
Cocoa trees flourish inland, in the highlands of the parishes of Clarendon, St. Mary, St. Catherine, St. Andrew and Portland. Most of the finished dry beans are exported to chocolatiers in countries such as Switzerland, France, UK and US. Jamaican cocoa is often used to improve the flavour of cocoa from other countries.
There are many value-added products derived from cocoa, such as:
- Gourmet chocolates
- Fruit conserves
- Coffee beans dipped in chocolate
- Rum-flavoured chocolate

With the extreme heat this summer, ice cream has become a necessity. It's perfect for those sweaty, so-hot-you-don't-even-want-to-eat days. It's sweet and smooth, but most importantly, very, very cold. While it's easy to buy delicious ice cream, it's far more fun to make your own. Not only do you get to create your own flavor combinations, but you can avoid all the artificial additives that go into the commercial version. Your frozen treat might not be healthy, but at least it's a little less bad for you.
Like risotto or homemade caramel, making ice cream sounds far more intimidating than it really is. You do need an ice cream maker, but you can easily purchase one for around fifty dollars that will last for years. Trust me, it's a worthwhile investment. The other important factor is time. For good ice cream, you need to make sure that your custard properly chills and that the final product has time to harden in the freezer. I generally make and churn my custard at night, then place it in the freezer overnight to harden. You get to sleep while your ice cream cools down and you can even sneak a bite at breakfast.
My favorite method for making ice cream comes from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home, a brilliant new cookbook. Unlike a lot of chefs, Jeni does not use eggs, which makes for a lighter and less labor-intensive ice cream. There's also a lot less room for error, so you don't have to worry about accidentally making scrambled eggs instead of custard. Her recipe uses cream cheese and cornstarch to thicken the mixture. The cream cheese also adds a nice tang so that your dessert is never cloyingly sweet.
I've included her recipe for salty caramel ice cream, which is one of her star flavors. It's perfect for ice cream sandwiches or with some fresh peaches. Feel free to adapt the recipe, mixing in brownie chunks, nuts, or chocolate chips. Whatever you do, it's bound to be better than anything from a carton.

Salty Caramel Ice Cream
Adapted from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home
Makes 1 quart
2 cups whole milk
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) cream cheese, softened
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Mix about 2 tablespoons of the milk with the cornstarch in a small bowl to make a smooth slurry.
Whisk the cream cheese and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Mix the cream with the corn syrup in a measuring cup with a spout.
Fill a large bowl with ice and water.
Heat the sugar in a 4-quart saucepan over medium heat until it is melted and golden amber in color. Remove from the heat and, stirring constantly, slowly add a bit of the cream and corn syrup mixture to the caramel: It will fizzle, pop, and spurt. Stir until well combined, then add a little more and stir. Keep adding the cream a little at a time until all of it is incorporated.
Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the milk. Bring to a rolling boil and boil for 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and gradually whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
Bring back to a boil over medium-high and cook, stirring with a heatproof spatula, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat. If any caramel flecks remain, pour the mixture through a sieve.
Gradually whisk the hot milk mixture into the cream cheese until smooth. Add the vanilla and whisk. Pour the mixture into a 1-gallon Ziploc freezer bag and submerge the sealed bag in the ice bath. Let stand, adding more ice as necessary, until cold, about 30 minutes.
Pour into frozen canister and spin until thick and creamy. Pack the ice cream into a storage container, press a sheet of parchment directly against the surface, and seal with an airtight lid.
Freeze in the coldest part of your freezer until firm, at least 4 hours.

When a tooth begins to lose its strength due to wear, trauma, or decay, crowns are often used to restore it. After all cavities are removed and the tooth is shaped, a crown is placed directly over the remaining tooth structure. After the fit of the crown is checked, it is permanently cemented onto the tooth. Essentially, the crown becomes your new tooth, at least to the untrained eye.
Types of Crowns:
At Chesapeake Smiles, patients can choose from a wide range of materials for their crown, including porcelain, gold, or metal alloy. Most patients opt for porcelain crowns because the material is very similar to enamel, which gives the tooth a natural appearance. In order for a crown to fit perfectly, an impression is taken of your teeth and sent to the lab to have a custom crown especially made to fit you.
At Chesapeake Smiles Dental, we believe that no one should have to hide his or her smile. Veneers can help to correct your smile and give you the look you have always dreamed of.
Veneers have a natural appearance and are essentially thin porcelain shells that have been custom designed to fit your teeth. Veneers are placed over your anterior teeth and only cover the front surfaces. They are used to reshape your teeth and give you a beautiful, esthetic smile. Upon completion, your new veneers will look remarkably similar to natural teeth. Veneers are typically resistant to stains, but you may still need to avoid certain beverages, such as coffee and red wine, in order to preserve your new smile.
