New tools and services for System i5
Software vendors roll out high availability services and software, new RPG externalizing and Web-development tools.
Lakeview rolls out high availability, vaulting services
Oakbrook Terrace, Ill.-based Lakeview Technology recently unveiled new Mimix Vault managed services, targeted at the SMB market. The offering is designed to help IT pros recover their applications from an outage while they focus on running their businesses.
The service is powered by Lakeview's packaged high availability software, Mimix. The company claims the service is easy to manage. Highlights include flexible recovery point objectives and recovery time objectives. The service offers cross-platform vaulting capabilities for i5/OS, Windows, Linux, and Unix.
EVault launches new backup and recovery software
EVault, Inc. released a new version of its EVault iSeries backup and recovery software. The iSeries Agent Version 5.3 incorporates new enhancements to the Emeryville, Calif.-based company's DeltaPro technology.
EVault claims the enhanced DeltaPro technology offers improved data backup and restoration performance -- up to 1000 times faster than previous versions. The EVault agent accepts a backup stream of data from the iSeries server via an application programming interface. The agent software then parses the data stream, applying efficient algorithms to minimize detectable data changes. EVault said this minimizes the total amount of data transferred over the wire, resulting in a faster backup and reduced amount of data stored on the vault.
In addition, Version 5.3 offers other new features, including:
The software is available now for both EVault InfoStage software and EVault Protect managed services. EVault InfoStage base list pricing starts at $16,000. EVault iSeries Agent licenses are based on the specific iSeries model, and are priced starting at $975.
Applied Logic Releases New Tool for "Externalizing" File Definitions in RPG
Applied Logic Corporation, a developer of iSeries programmer software, announces the release of RPG/Externalizer for modernizing legacy applications. RPG/Externalizer is an automated system for converting RPG programs with program described file definitions. The programs are automatically modernized to use external definitions.
The Keizer, Oregon-based company said through RPG/Externalizer:
RPG/Externalizer is available for a one time $895 license fee.
Profound Logic offers version 5.20 of RPG Smart Pages
Profound Logic Software released version 5.20 of RPG Smart Pages, its Web development environment for the iSeries. The latest release includes many new features designed to ease the task of developing RPG-based Web applications, as well as traditional RPG programs.
Profound Logic claims one of the most exciting new features is an advanced Fixed Format to Free Format conversion tool. Developers can convert entire programs or sections of code by highlighting the desired lines and selecting the option to covert to free format. The tool will instantly convert any fixed format code that has equivalent free format syntax. The process will even convert obsolete opcodes, such as ADD, to the recommended free-format syntax. When the conversion tool runs into operations that are not supported in free format, such as CALL or PARM, the process is intelligent enough to END-FREE, ignore the operations, and start a new FREE section as necessary.
RPGsp 5.20 also offers more options for session variables. Session variables can now be stored in a database file. The new storage system can be implemented with a simple procedure call, and requires no significant modification to existing applications. Developers still have the option of using the traditional method of storing session variables.
Other enhancements include new Web development server-side functions, a streamlined upgrade process, and a new wizard to automatically write the code for processing existing HTML forms. A fully functional trial of RPGsp is available for download on the company's site.

Life is uncertain, and anyone can be injured in an accident or be afflicted with an incapacitating illness at any time. In these situations, it may be necessary to protect the rights of those who are no longer capable of caring for themselves by creating a guardianship.
The Law Office of Carey Thompson, P.C. has extensive experience preparing guardianships for clients in Azle, Blue Mound, Fort Worth, Haslet, Keller, Lake Worth, Newark, Saginaw, and throughout greater Tarrant County. We treat each client with dignity and respect and work diligently to arrange for the care of their loved ones.
Those who have been injured in an accident or who suffer from an incapacitating physical illness, psychological disorder, or some other condition that prevents them from caring for themselves, may need legal protection.
A guardianship is a legal arrangement that places an individual, also known as a ward, under the supervision of a guardian, or custodian - either a family member, friend or fiduciary appointed by the court. A ward may be a minor without a parental guardian as well as an adult who is incapable of making safe and sound decisions about his or her own person or property. Some of the different forms of guardianship include:
Generally, there are two types of guardianship - guardianship of the person and guardianship of the estate or property:
In this arrangement, the guardian is responsible for attending to the incapacitated individual's care and welfare. The guardian has the right to make decisions about where the ward will live, authorize medical care as well as end-of-life decisions. The guardian is also responsible for maintaining the protected person's autonomy as much as possible.
This arrangement is necessary when an estate plan is not in place. This enables the guardian to make important financial decisions on behalf of the protected person. The guardian has the right to control bank and brokerage accounts, and real estate as well as to use the protected person's funds to pay bills and expenses such as rent or a mortgage.
The guardian of the estate is also authorized to apply for social security, Medicaid and other public benefits on behalf of the protected person. However, the guardian must also file an annual accounting of all income and expenses of the protected person's' estate with court. Many guardianships of the estate are temporary arrangements, designed to protect an individual until he or she regains capacity.
Guardianships may also be used to protect the legal rights of a minor in the event that a parent is no longer able to act on behalf of his or her child. A guardian, usually a relative, may need to be appointed if (1) the child's parents have become incapacitated or died, (2) the child is not receiving adequate care or (3) the child is being abused. In most cases, parental approval is sought prior to any legal proceedings and the legal relationship between the biological parents and the child is not terminated.
It is important to note that the appointment of a guardian may limit the rights of a protected individual in a number of ways, including but not limited to:
For this reason, the person appointed guardian must be capable and trustworthy, and act in the best interests of the ward. At the same time, a protected person retains his her rights to due process, including the right to attend any related legal proceedings and to be represented by an attorney who can present evidence and question any witnesses.
If you need assistance arranging for the care of a minor child or adult who cannot care for themselves, you are well advised to engage the services of the Law Office of Carey Thompson, PC. Our dedicated attorneys will work diligently to help you make the necessary arrangements to protect your loved one. We will prepare all the guardianship forms and documentation and represent clients at guardianship hearings. Because placing a loved one in a guardianship is a difficult decision to make, we offer each client a superior level of personal service and compassionately guide them through the process. If you have questions about establishing a guardianship, call our office today to set up a consultation.
Carey Thompson is an estate planning attorney that serves clients in Azle, Dallas, Fort Worth, Keller, Saginaw, and throughout greater Tarrant County and helps them with their guardianship needs.

Ezekiel 12:1-14:11 New International Version (NIV)
The Exile Symbolized
12 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people.
3 "Therefore, son of man, pack your belongings for exile and in the daytime, as they watch, set out and go from where you are to another place. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious people. 4 During the daytime, while they watch, bring out your belongings packed for exile. Then in the evening, while they are watching, go out like those who go into exile. 5 While they watch, dig through the wall and take your belongings out through it. 6 Put them on your shoulder as they are watching and carry them out at dusk. Cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have made you a sign to the Israelites."
7 So I did as I was commanded. During the day I brought out my things packed for exile. Then in the evening I dug through the wall with my hands. I took my belongings out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulders while they watched.
8 In the morning the word of the Lord came to me: 9 "Son of man, did not the Israelites, that rebellious people, ask you, 'What are you doing?'
10 "Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This prophecy concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the Israelites who are there.' 11 Say to them, 'I am a sign to you.'
"As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile as captives.
12 "The prince among them will put his things on his shoulder at dusk and leave, and a hole will be dug in the wall for him to go through. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land. 13 I will spread my net for him, and he will be caught in my snare; I will bring him to Babylonia, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die. 14 I will scatter to the winds all those around him—his staff and all his troops—and I will pursue them with drawn sword.
15 "They will know that I am the Lord, when I disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries. 16 But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine and plague, so that in the nations where they go they may acknowledge all their detestable practices. Then they will know that I am the Lord."
17 The word of the Lord came to me: 18 "Son of man, tremble as you eat your food, and shudder in fear as you drink your water. 19 Say to the people of the land: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says about those living in Jerusalem and in the land of Israel: They will eat their food in anxiety and drink their water in despair, for their land will be stripped of everything in it because of the violence of all who live there. 20 The inhabited towns will be laid waste and the land will be desolate. Then you will know that I am the Lord.'"
There Will Be No Delay
21 The word of the Lord came to me: 22 "Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel: 'The days go by and every vision comes to nothing'? 23 Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to put an end to this proverb, and they will no longer quote it in Israel.' Say to them, 'The days are near when every vision will be fulfilled. 24 For there will be no more false visions or flattering divinations among the people of Israel. 25 But I the Lord will speak what I will, and it shall be fulfilled without delay. For in your days, you rebellious people, I will fulfill whatever I say, declares the Sovereign Lord.'"
26 The word of the Lord came to me: 27 "Son of man, the Israelites are saying, 'The vision he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future.'
28 "Therefore say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord.'"
False Prophets Condemned
13 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who are now prophesying. Say to those who prophesy out of their own imagination: 'Hear the word of the Lord! 3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the foolish[a] prophets who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing! 4 Your prophets, Israel, are like jackals among ruins. 5 You have not gone up to the breaches in the wall to repair it for the people of Israel so that it will stand firm in the battle on the day of the Lord. 6 Their visions are false and their divinations a lie. Even though the Lord has not sent them, they say, "The Lord declares," and expect him to fulfill their words. 7 Have you not seen false visions and uttered lying divinations when you say, "The Lord declares," though I have not spoken?
8 "'Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign Lord. 9 My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.
10 "'Because they lead my people astray, saying, "Peace," when there is no peace, and because, when a flimsy wall is built, they cover it with whitewash, 11 therefore tell those who cover it with whitewash that it is going to fall. Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. 12 When the wall collapses, will people not ask you, "Where is the whitewash you covered it with?"
13 "'Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury. 14 I will tear down the wall you have covered with whitewash and will level it to the ground so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it[b] falls, you will be destroyed in it; and you will know that I am the Lord. 15 So I will pour out my wrath against the wall and against those who covered it with whitewash. I will say to you, "The wall is gone and so are those who whitewashed it, 16 those prophets of Israel who prophesied to Jerusalem and saw visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Sovereign Lord."'
17 "Now, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people who prophesy out of their own imagination. Prophesy against them 18 and say, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the women who sew magic charms on all their wrists and make veils of various lengths for their heads in order to ensnare people. Will you ensnare the lives of my people but preserve your own? 19 You have profaned me among my people for a few handfuls of barley and scraps of bread. By lying to my people, who listen to lies, you have killed those who should not have died and have spared those who should not live.
20 "'Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against your magic charms with which you ensnare people like birds and I will tear them from your arms; I will set free the people that you ensnare like birds. 21 I will tear off your veils and save my people from your hands, and they will no longer fall prey to your power. Then you will know that I am the Lord. 22 Because you disheartened the righteous with your lies, when I had brought them no grief, and because you encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways and so save their lives, 23 therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will save my people from your hands. And then you will know that I am the Lord.'"
Idolaters Condemned
14 Some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat down in front of me. 2 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 3 "Son of man, these men have set up idols in their hearts and put wicked stumbling blocks before their faces. Should I let them inquire of me at all? 4 Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: When any of the Israelites set up idols in their hearts and put a wicked stumbling block before their faces and then go to a prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself in keeping with their great idolatry. 5 I will do this to recapture the hearts of the people of Israel, who have all deserted me for their idols.'
6 "Therefore say to the people of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Repent! Turn from your idols and renounce all your detestable practices!
7 "'When any of the Israelites or any foreigner residing in Israel separate themselves from me and set up idols in their hearts and put a wicked stumbling block before their faces and then go to a prophet to inquire of me, I the Lord will answer them myself. 8 I will set my face against them and make them an example and a byword. I will remove them from my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
9 "'And if the prophet is enticed to utter a prophecy, I the Lord have enticed that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand against him and destroy him from among my people Israel. 10 They will bear their guilt—the prophet will be as guilty as the one who consults him. 11 Then the people of Israel will no longer stray from me, nor will they defile themselves anymore with all their sins. They will be my people, and I will be their God, declares the Sovereign Lord.'"

Customer Service team member, Andrew, tells us what's in his gear bag for a distance ocean race.
Offshore racing is one of my favorite ways to compete in this great sport, and it's even better when you end up somewhere tropical. We field dozens of calls and questions for ordering offshore gear here at APS, especially during the warmer months. As someone who's had the pleasure of sailing Annapolis to Newport, Annapolis to Bermuda and Newport to Bermuda, I thought I would share with you all my offshore favorites and the things I never leave the dock without.
Packing List
*4-5 day race, warm climate, not including the clothes on your back worn to the first day of racing
- Dry bag
- (2) Tech shirts
- (1) Pair quick dry shorts
- (2) Pairs of underwear
- (1) Set of Base layers – leggings/top
- Pullover or fleece, mid weight
- (1) Pair Wool Socks
- Offshore boots & Sailing shoes
- Gore-Tex Socks
- (2) Pairs of gloves
- Headlamp
- Hat/Sunglasses
- Sunscreen and other minor toiletries (ear plugs, tooth brush, lip balm, Gold Bond)
- Fouiles
- Inflatable PFD/ Re-Arm Kit/ Harness / Tether
The Bag
For starters, most racing boats will be weight and space sensitive. Captains will typically put a cap on the amount you can bring by limiting your bag size. Generally speaking, you're safe in the 20 – 35 liter range. The Gill Waterproof Backpack is a great choice. It's not completely necessary to have a dry bag as it will be stored, but you are on a boat, so it doesn't hurt. If you go for water resistant bag, a dry case like the Musto Waterproof Tablet Case is just enough to store the essentials (wallet, keys, phone etc.).
Tech Shirt
It's important to remember when you're ocean racing you could face a range of temperatures from day to night. But when you're sailing to Bermuda in June, it's a pretty safe bet to say you're going to be in the sun and it's going to be hot. I prefer a long sleeve tech shirt like this Musto UV Fast Dry Long Sleeve T-Shirt. Following the number one apparel rule on the water of no cotton, this UPF 40 quick dry shirt offers protection from the sun and the heat. This particular Musto version has an anti-bacterial treatment to prevent odor – important when you're sharing a very small space with 8 other ripe dudes for 5 days. Good rule of thumb for a race that distance is 2 tech shirts.
Same rules apply for shorts. Look for lightweight, quick dry options. No cotton! The Gill UV Tec Shorts are a great option and even have UPF 50+ protection. Throw those bad boys on over of some Patagonia Capilene Daily Boxer Briefs and you'll be good to go. One pair of shorts will usually suffice, but 2 pairs of underwear is a must.
For the cooler night watch, you'll want to pack some type of baselayer. Merino wool or Capilene and again, no cotton. A nice midweight like Patagonia Capilene Midweight Pants or Patagonia Cap Midweight Crew Shirt should be warm enough for a summer race. You'll want to squeeze in a midlayer top too, just in case the nights are especially chilly. Henri Lloyd Force Layer Top or Helly Hansen VTR 1/2 Zip Long Sleeve Shirt are both lightweight and extremely packable. I never sail a race without a pair of Smartwool Light Insulated Socks on board. Warm dry comfortable feet at night, will keep you in the game. If it's looking like a potentially stormy or wet race, grab an extra pair of socks, and be prepared to be spending a lot more time in baselayers and foulies than your tech shirts.
Hands and Toes
There are a few footwear options for an offshore race. Rocky Gore-Tex Socks are great for when you don't want to wear your offshore boots but want to keep your feet dry, my personal preference. Just pair them with a normal wicking sock and a sailing sport shoe. When you the "you know what" really hits the fan on deck though, you'll want a boot. The Zhik ZK Seaboot 800 with Gaiter – ideal for when you want t to be glued to the deck with warm dry feet.
Hands are equally as important as your feet. Make sure you stash two pairs of gloves. My personal favorites are the Atlas Thermal Fit Gloves. You'll be glad when you have a spare dry pair stashed away when one pair is soaking wet.
Another must have offshore – a head Lamp – Tikka Plus 2 Headlamp. Whether rummaging around below decks at night, or doing a sail change on the bow, a little illumination is a huge life saver.
You'll want a good hat. Gill Technical Wide Brimmed Hat has a wide brim to keep the sun off your face and neck and is also quick drying and UPF rated. When my bald head doesn't have a hat on it, you better believe I'm covered in Z-Blok Sunscreen. Don't forget your other light toiletries- only the essentials. Toothbrush, ear plugs, camping towel or shammy. Throw in the baby wipes and Gold Bond and you can't go wrong.
These items are either on your body or hanging in the gear closet- no need trying to stuff a full set of foulies in that 20 liter bag.
I have the Spinlock Deckvest 5D Hammar, which is hydro static, meaning it is water pressure activated. This avoids accidental inflation, when taking a wave to the face while sail changing. It also comes as a moisture activated firing Spinlock Deckvest 5D Pro Sensor.
As for tether, I prefer the 2 clip cow hitch, so I can always stay clipped in while moving around obstacles. Try the Wichard Proline Y-Tether 2m Elastic 1m Straight 3 Clips.
Re arm kit, no-brainer. Why would you not? For use with the Spinlock 5D Hammar use this Spinlock Deckvest Hammar Re-arm Kit.
Keeping a knife on your person is paramount. I use the Leatherman Skeletool. With a removable pocket clip and sheath its easy to keep at hand. Easily opened with one hand, a great choice weather you're up on the bow or back trimming.
Musto MPX foulies are a no brainer for me. Easily my favorite gear behind my Rocky Socks, you won't catch me offshore in anything else. The Musto MPX Gore Tex Trousers and Musto MPX Gore-Tex Offshore Jacket are ruggedly waterproof. A thicker membrane is used in the MPX material, allowing it to stand up to prolonged periods of water exposure and weather. High collar, hi-vis hood, hand warmer pockets, adjustable double wrist cuffs and a placement to attach lifejacket are just a few of the details that make this jacket number 1 for offshore sailing. The real standout of the MPX is the breathability. When it's hot and humid the last thing you want is to feel like you're wearing a trash bag.

How to Organize a Good Research Paper in MLA Style: Expert Instructions
Learning how to make a research paper outline using MLA style includes understanding the basics of what is required. The formatting style requires close attention to details. In many cases, it comes down to how works are cited and if the citation is created correctly. There are many options to help you understand how to create your project with the format including using examples, a template, and the reference book available for this formatting style. Here are things to know when using the format for your assignment.
Basic Information
There are many details to pay attention to when using MLA formatting for your academic writing. You can use manuals and guidebooks provided by your instructor for further insight on how to use the style correctly. Students tend to mix up or forget doing certain actions such as forgetting to capitalize names, insert dates, and even space margins incorrectly. Reviewing details of the style format before you start writing greatly reduces risk of errors. To get a general idea of what details you should pay attention to here are a few important points to note:
- Space the document with 1 inch margins. Type content should be double-spaced with a 12 point font for easy reading.

After two years of close and intense collaboration, LeoVince and Gresini Moto2 renew their partnership again.
The agreement between LeoVince and Gresini Moto2 will once again be biennial, demonstrating a committed relationship.
In 2020 Gresini Moto2 will double its efforts, with a line-up formed of two riders that hope to be leading actors of the new racing season: Nicolò Bulega and Edgar Pons.
The expectations for this new season are therefore very high for both protagonists of this renewed partnership: to return to the top of the ranking after a year of great expectations and unfortunately not much satisfaction.
The presence of LeoVince will be primarily technical; the Triumph-powered Kalex of the Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 Team will be equipped with the LeoVince LV-10 Full Titanium exhaust system, a result of the collaboration between the Gresini Team and LeoVince R&D of Monticello D'Alba (CN).
This opens up a very promising and challenging season that sees LeoVince and the Federal Oil Gresini Moto2 Team joined by an ever-increasing synergy and a common goal.
Roberto Morone, LeoVince CEO: "I am excited to announce the renewal of the collaboration between LeoVince and Gresini Moto2 for the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Being the official exhaust supplier for the Gresini Moto2 team is very important for us. I am sure that this collaboration will lead LeoVince to have more visibility on an international level. This year LeoVince will start the season with the new LV logo, specifically designed for the racing world, already introduced for the last races of 2019; we are sure that the collaboration with Gresini Racing will help us increase the visibility of the LV brand and make our new racing logo known internationally. With the arrival of Nicolò Bulega and Edgar Pons I am convinced that the team has great potential. I am confident that we will achieve great results together."
Fausto Gresini, Team Manager: "With a line-up not only renewed but doubled in 2020, we needed fundamental commitments like that of LeoVince. Our collaboration is very important and I am sure that together we will be great again after a season of dissatisfactions. We have two very talented riders and we are convinced that with the support of LeoVince we will be front runners".

The History and Purpose of Montessori Education
Maria Montessori, born in 1870, was an Italian educator and physician best known for developing the Montessori method of teaching young children. She was the first woman to obtain a medical degree through an Italian University. By 28 years of age, she was engaged in the medical profession assessing the needs of challenged children. Dr. Montessori went on to design materials and techniques that would permit these children to explore areas that were previously considered beyond their capacity. Her great moment came when these challenged children took the state examinations along with normal children and passed. Dr. Montessori concluded that if mentally challenged children could be brought to the same academic level as normal children, there must be something terribly wrong with the education of normal children.
In 1901 Montessori was appointed director of the Orthophrenic School of Rome, which had been used as an asylum to confine children with mental retardation. Drawing largely on the ideas of French educators Jean Itard and Edouard Séguin, Montessori provided the children with mental stimulation, meaningful activities, and opportunities to develop self-esteem. She received widespread recognition for her work when many of the adolescents at the school passed standard tests for sixth-grade students in the Italian public schools. Montessori believed that her methods would prove even more effective with children of normal intelligence.
In 1907 she opened the first Montessori school, or Children's House, in a slum district of Rome, now famously known as Casa Dei Bambini. Within a year, observers came from around the world to see the progress made by Montessori's students. Through her own observing and working with the children, she discovered their incredible, almost effortless, capability to absorb knowledge from their environment. She discovered that education is not something which a Teacher does but that it is a natural process that develops spontaneously in the human being. It is not acquired by listening to words but of experiences in which the child acts on his environment. She observed that children will teach themselves if they are given the opportunity and the proper environment. Dr. Montessori believed that no human being is truly educated by another person. They must do it for themselves or it will never be done. This profound and simple truth inspired her lifelong pursuit of educational reform, curriculum development, methodology, psychology, teaching, and teacher training. A "Montessori" environment cultivates a child's own natural desire to learn.
Under Maria's direction, before the age of five the children learned to read and write, they preferred work to play, and they displayed sustained mental concentration without fatigue. Montessori based her educational method on giving children freedom in a specially prepared environment, under the guidance of a trained director. She stressed that leaders of the classroom be called directors rather than teachers because their main work was to direct the interests of children and advance their development. According to Montessori, when a child is ready to learn new and more difficult tasks, the director should guide the child from the outset so that the child does not waste effort or learn wrong habits. The success of the Children's House led to the founding of other Montessori schools and teacher-training programs throughout Europe and the United States. In 1934 Montessori fled fascist rule in Italy and settled in Barcelona, Spain. She worked there until the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War in 1936 forced her to move to The Netherlands. There she established an influential teacher-training school at Laren, near Amsterdam. From 1939 to 1947 Montessori lived in India and Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), founding more schools and training programs before returning to The Netherlands. Montessori was convinced that universal adoption of her teaching method would be of immense value in bringing about world peace, and she stressed the importance of education as the "armament of peace."
This honored visionary woman died in 1952. Today, after more than 75 years of international application, the Montessori Method thrives in the United States with over 3,500 schools established since 1957. Montessori philosophy and methods are not limited to the private sector, but are being applied within the public school system and child care programs as well. Dr. Montessori's focus on the individual child, the peaceful unfolding of the self, and the prepared classroom environment started a revolution in education that continues unabated.
Within a Montessori classroom, inspiring children to learn is approached in many non-traditional ways. Children are allowed to experience the excitement of learning by their own choice rather than by force. Consequently, learning is highly individualized, often with a hands-on approach. Dr. Montessori also believed in a vertical classroom. This allows children in a three-year age span to receive instruction together. Benefits of a vertical classroom are many. They include the opportunity for younger children to observe and practice behavior and skills modeled by older children. Older children have the opportunity to mentor younger children, therefore crystallizing their learning process. Knowledge is attained at the child's pace, not the teacher's. This promotes the maximization of future learning opportunities.

Steering Wheel Noise
Ive only had the boat out on the water test with the dealer, but Ill raise the issue anyway. On the test the steering wheel, when turning somewhat quickly made a funny noise just to the right side of center. We noticed it the most when going in the no wake channel, moving the wheel back and forth. Anybody know what this is, or if its a normal thing, or should I have them look at it more... Dealership salesman didnt seem too concerned...

The noise could have been the steering wheel rubbing against the wake plate trim lever . You would probably only here it going slow. It is a tight fit but I just bent my lever base a little away from the steering wheel base and that seem to fix the problem. What does the noise sound like?

Be sure to check the rubber boot that covers the helm, it may have come loose and rub on the steering wheel hub. If you can not get the boot properly seated, be sure to bring it to your dealers attn. at your next service. This may not be your your issue, but something else to check. Either way, voice your concerns at your next service, there may also be no issues at hand. Brian Raymond

The noise is not real loud, but you know its there and you can feel it too. Its hard to describe what it sound like other than its a noticable "click" in the rotation.

Waiting for an audition for a fitness video.
Result: cut after type-out of walking in place. Fail.
That looks like pure hell. How did you pass the time??
Oh. What is "type-out of walking in place"?
Luckily I got there early so I was already done waiting by the time it got this bad. To be "typed-out" basically means they make you do something simple just to look at you and then they make a huge cut by what kind of look they're going for, generally. This was for fitness video, and they seemed to want Baywatch-types haha. Not me.

I've put a lot of thought into deciding what it really is about this endeavor of losing weight and getting fit that I want to focus on.
Can I really be an athlete? Is it really possible?
When you hear/read the word athlete—what do you envision?My first inclination is to think of the Olympics or of professional or collegiate sports. That is a pretty elite group and let me assure you that my ambitions are not so deluded as to believe that I could ascend to the level of these elite athletes. However, I think there is room in the definition of the term athlete for the ordinary human being to push past barriers (real or imagined) and accomplish amazing things—athletic things.
One definition I have read is that an athlete is a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise, or games requiring physical skill—a person who has a natural aptitude for physical activities. Over the next several months I will be training and setting up opportunities to prove to myself that I can improve my physical agility, stamina, and strength and return to a position where I can participate in sports and tap into my natural athletic aptitude. Even at my current weight, I know deep down that I have a natural aptitude for athletic things.
So, yes. I consider myself an athlete. Or, at the very least an athlete in training. One of the explanations of ambition that I really like is: "an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, and the willingness to strive for its attainment." YES! I have athletic ambition! Please join me as I push past barriers to reach my athletic ambitions.

Beer Tub As A Metaphor For Life
For the longest time when I was younger, I tried to be like (and "liked by") the "guy-guys". I wanted to be accepted and felt like they were the "cool kids" of adulthood. I quickly discovered that they drank a lot, and were more interested in talking their gym routine and ESPN than they were in talking about life. And they certainly weren't interested in me.
I couldn't figure out why I always felt alone when I was with the guy-guys. It only occurred to me later that I WAS alone, they didn't want to connect with anyone. I tried to fit in, which felt awkward and was incredibly unfulfilling. But I saw that if I continued to hang out with them, it was likely I was going to end up like them. I was experiencing environmental conduction.
The easiest way to understand conduction (and its powerful role as a metaphor for our lives) is to talk about beer. Yes, beer. Imagine it's summertime. Envision the classic barbecue. It's a sweltering Friday afternoon, and all your friends are coming over. You're hosting a shindig. You have all the trappings of a successful barbecue.
There are a few critical items that every barbecue needs. Just as important as the grill, the burgers, and the hotdogs are, there's always the metal tub full of ice cold beer. The tub of beer is a central bonding spot, like a homing beacon for a good time. The tub is often close to the grill, usually on the patio.
The beer is arctic-cold. But it wasn't always this cold. The beer was warm when it came from the store, and you, as a thoughtful host, put ice into the tub before you added the beer. If you did this 30 minutes or more before the party, by the time the guests arrived to dive a hand in for a cold one, the beer will be ice cold.
What made your beer cold was the process of conduction. Conduction is the movement of heat from the surface of a warm object to the surface of a colder object that it's in contact with. In this case, the heat of the beer is transferred to the ice, which in turn melts until the beer reaches the temperature of the ice and water around it.
If we're thinking about the beer and ice in a tub as an environment, it's a wonderful metaphor for life. We are like the warm, room temperature beer. Sounds like a bummer, huh? Every environment that we put ourselves in is going to have an impact on our "temperature". However, the difference between the beer and us is that we have the choice of what environment we put ourselves into.
If you find yourself surrounded by people with different agendas or mindsets than you, that's a "colder" environment. Stay there long enough, and you too will become cold. Do you have that friend who's a complainer? Always complains about his boss, job, and co-workers? How about a spouse, partner or workout buddy who loves to gossip, create drama or chaos? And then there are the friends who see the glass as half empty, something's always wrong.
It is likely over time (if you spend time with these people) that you will participate in the gossip or find yourself complaining. And it has an impact. However, the inverse is also true. If you hang out with people who either come from a place of service or work actively to excel at their role, you will be impacted by that environment as well.
We get to choose the environment we expose ourselves to. We could choose to spend time either by ourselves or find new co-workers to spend time with. We can choose another career, or we can actively pursue personal growth avenues via other sources. We can struggle in a relationship or actively work to better it.
That's the best part about environments, we can get them other than our physical environment. We can read articles, listen to podcasts, connect with people on the phone, and use social media to connect with like-minded people. This can also be physically by attending meetups, participating in activities with other people or finding that new co-worker whose mindset matches the one you're trying to emulate.
The same is true at home. If your favorite pastime with your spouse and friends is to sit around and watch movies on Netflix and eat ice cream when you get home from work, it's likely that environment has an impact on your health. If you want to do something different, if you want to change your lifestyle and become more active, athletic and lose weight, you'll need to change your environment.
Spending time in the gym with people who are working out and working to achieve their goals would serve you better. The number of treadmills that end up as coat racks is an extraordinary percentage. And it has everything to do with the environment. The treadmill in your bedroom at home is no different than the treadmill at the gym. But your bedroom isn't an environment full of people and other equipment all designed to get in better shape. You are far more likely to work out in a gym on the same treadmill surrounded by people working out, then you are working out on a treadmill at home by yourself.
Separate and alone is often the way we try and create new results. We tell ourselves that the people around us don't understand, and worst don't care. But often that's where we stop, not looking to see where else we could surround ourselves with an environment that supports the new results we're creating.
Whatever environment you choose, be aware of the impact of the environment around you. Does it meet your goals? Are you the beer or are you the ice? And does the environment that you're in support the results you're looking to create? If it doesn't, find a new environment. Because no one likes warm beer.

22-1-2009, Scot Cup Replay, Rugby Park
If this is what we can expect every time Kilmarnock and Ayr United face off in the Homecoming Scottish Cup, then we can only hope that it is not another decade before these bitter Ayrshire rivals meet again.
After another extraordinary contest that more than matched the drama of the original tie, it is Kilmarnock and not their second division opponents from down the road who will travel north to face Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the fifth round of the competition.
The first tie at Somerset Park 12 days earlier had been a crackling 2-2 draw packed with incident and second time around it was no less frenetic. Ayr forged in front early on before being gradually worn down by their more illustrious neighbours who survived the dismissal of David Fernandez to proceed to the next round.
Fears that Sky Sports' live broadcast of the fixture would dilute the atmosphere inside the stadium mercifully proved unfounded. The visiting supporters, in particular, piled into Rugby Park in impressive numbers and the acrimony duly poured out from all four stands. Goodness knows what those watching from their sofas in the Home Counties made of it all, but even curious neutrals would not have dared avert their eyes for a single second for fear of missing something else.
Jim Jefferies, the Kilmarnock manager, felt his team deserved to progress and hoped supporters would not have to wait so long for their next Ayrshire derby.
"It was a cracking game," he said. "We were the best team all night and they couldn't live with us. I knew what it meant to the Kilmarnock people to win after a bad spell previously. I just hope Ayr get promoted and then take the next step into the SPL as the atmosphere was fantastic."
It had all unravelled at a furious pace. Within 10 minutes the visitors were in front, the goal tainted with controversy. Simon Ford's poor clearance was hoisted back hopefully by Dean Keenan for Bryan Prunty to chase. As Ford and Alan Combe dithered, Prunty launched himself at the bouncing ball and converted with a contact only from his left arm. A pure classless cheat!!
There were no protests from Kilmarnock, and Ayr celebrated with the same exuberance as they had greeted their late equaliser in the first tie. Joy for Prunty would be short-lived, however, the striker limping off to be replaced by Alex Williams.
Kilmarnock supporters had every right to approach the visit of their rivals with trepidation. They had lost seven of their previous eight matches at home and had failed to record a victory over Ayr for 15 years.
In Killie's proud history they had never lost 5 straight home games.
The visitors' early goal did little to calm those frayed nerves, although Kilmarnock would gradually claw their way back into the tie after breaking down Ayr's resistance bit by bit.
Neil McGowan, Ayr's stocky left-back, seemed to be on a personal mission to keep his team in the tie. After nodding Allan Russell's deflected shot away from under his crossbar as early as the fourth minute, he was performing similar heroics to scramble another Russell attempt to safety, although television replays would later suggest that the ball may have already crossed the line. (Yup... another bad call see right).
Ayr departed the field at half-time to a heroes' reception from their fans behind the goal, but their luck would run out five minutes after the re-start. Willie Gibson's free-kick was met flush on the forehead by Simon Ford and, although Stephen Grindlay dived to smother the ball like a man putting out a chip pan fire, he knocked it backwards and Steve Conroy, the referee, correctly spotted that it had crept over the line.
Ayr were now feasting on the occasional breakaway but found their cause aided by another moment of controversy when Fernandez swung an arm at Martyn Campell, who toppled to the ground. Conroy's delay only served to heighten the agony for Fernandez before the red card duly appeared.
Respite for the second division side would be brief, however.
Craig Bryson slalomed through the Ayr defence to unleash a shot that Grindlay could only parry and the impressive Mehdi Taouil was first on it to rifle a low shot past the goalkeeper to put Kilmarnock in front.
A pulsating contest was finally settled 10 minutes from time.
Simon Ford, who hadn't scored for Kilmarnock in almost a year, met Taouil's corner to plant another header past the goalkeeper.
Jim Jefferies 22nd on the Ayr Post Match... "I've stayed down here for a few years and I've got to know what this game means to the supporters and it was one that the players were desperate to win for them.

A beach and a coconut drink, there is no need for more words, right?!
A Friday cant be other than fun with a delicious handmade coconut drink and a white beach to enjoy it at with an ocean view.
It was of course really good to have a classic pina colada in a coconut like this but having a new favourite one after this trip and its Caipirinha!
Enjoyed moments like this in a Billabong bikini which is favourite of mine when it comes to beachwear.
Love, Julia Linn

Carletti Dentistry and Associates offers JUVÉDERM® to patients living in Tulsa, Sapulpa, Jenks, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Glenpool, Sand Springs, Bristow, Drumright, and other neighboring locations.
What Is JUVÉDERM®?
JUVÉDERM® is a dermal filler that can instantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles that appear around your nose and mouth. One of the main benefits of this product is that it uses hyaluronic acid, a compound that occurs naturally in your skin but diminishes as you age. JUVÉDERM is injected into the target sites with a fine needle, and treatments generally take less than an hour. The procedure is not a permanent solution to fighting wrinkles, so touch-up appointments are required to maintain that youthful-looking appearance.
If you are interested in diminishing the creases and grooves around your nose and mouth, then JUVÉDERM could be a good option for you at Carletti Dentistry and Associates. We provide this dermal filler as part of our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services. We are proud to offer JUVÉDERM to our patients in the Tulsa and Sapulpa, Oklahoma, communities, as well as individuals from Jenks, Bixby, Broken Arrow, Glenpool, Sand Springs, Bristow, and Drumright.

Our JUVÉDERM treatments are always tailored to each individual patient. As a result, there is no "set" price for our services at Carletti Dentistry and Associates. The best way to determine the cost of JUVÉDERM in Sapulpa, Oklahoma, is to schedule an appointment with one of our highly skilled and experienced dentists, Dr. Carletti, Dr. Maxwell, or Dr. Craig.

Thursday marked one of several court dates involving beleaguered actress Amanda Bynes. According to TMZ, she was arraigned in connection with a hit-and-run case involving two accidents L.A. Prosecutors are charged the former Nickelodeon child star with.
An attorney for Amanda Bynes has entered a not guilty plea in a misdemeanor case that accuses the actress of two hit-and-runs, according to TMZ.
Attorney Richard Hutton entered the plea on Bynes' behalf during a brief court hearing Thursday in Los Angeles. The actress' case is due back in court on Oct. 19 and Bynes must be booked on the charges within two days of that hearing.
Los Angeles prosecutors accuse Bynes of leaving the scene of two accidents, one on April 10 and another on Aug. 4, without providing proper information.
The first incident occurred just days after Bynes was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after grazing a sheriff's patrol car.
She has pleaded not guilty in that case.
Her attorney declined to comment on Bynes' cases.
Her case was heard in a Van Nuys courthouse this morning, though it is unclear whether she was in attend attendance.
Byrnes faces a possible sentence of six months in jail for each count, if convicted. The file on the April incident was reopened after the August crash.
The LAPD's Valley Traffic Division investigated the Aug. 4 incident on Ventura Boulevard, in which a motorist claims a vehicle driven by Bynes rear-ended and damaged her Toyota. The driver said Bynes stopped only briefly, declared there was no damage and drove off.
The woman told investigators her car was damaged and that Bynes failed to provide insurance information or allow police to be called before she left, said Lt. Andrew Neiman of the Los Angeles Police Department.
Bynes, 26, later told investigators that she and the woman mutually agreed there was no significant damage after the low-speed collision, police said.
Interestingly, four years ago Amanda Bynes was sitting on top of the world. Her diehard fans adored her. Following an interview with Cosmopolitan Magazine Bynes career seemed posed to grow. Then something happened, comedian at 7 to facing several year behind bars at 26; what ever happen to Amanda Bynes? Were there hints, clues that suggested we might be visiting the "Hair Spray" star in jail? It appears there were.
From the beginning of her interview in cosmopolitan the actress explained that she often felt like she didn't completely fit in. "Part of me relates to Perez Hilton because he's an outcast," she said of her former celebrity blogger friend. (The two often grab frozen yogurt and talk movies.) "I don't have a lot of friends who are actresses. They're catty, and they'll cut you down. I like that Perez is proud of who he is and doesn't care what anybody thinks." This is how Bynes felt four years ago.
Amanda's began with her career performing stand-up comedy at age 7. Next she starred in two Nickelodeon series and the WB sitcom "What I Like About You" before graduating high school (as a straight-A student, no less). She has dressed in drag (for She's the Man), sung and danced (in Hairspray), and lent her sharp comedic timing to everything from the film Robots to the TV series Family Guy. She told "Cosmo," "I've never been that girl [who] was auditioning to be the hot cheerleader," says Amanda. "I was always the quirky girl. I'm much more comfortable being goofy than being the sex kitten."
Along the way, she's also found time for several side projects: becoming involved in charity work (she recently contributed her entire salary for the Lifetime movie "Living Proof" to cancer research and awareness) and launching her own clothing line, "Dear" by Amanda Bynes, sold exclusively at Steve and Barry's stores.
While her early designs were sportier, Amanda describes the latest pieces as flirty, feminine, and bohemian. "I want to make cute, inexpensive versions of things you see on the runway," she says. (Plans for a dear line of fragrance and makeup are also in the works.) Amanda credits her father, who "started off as a humble wood-shop teacher" before becoming a dentist, with keeping her centered and instilling a strong work ethic. "I've worked really hard to get to where I am," she says. "Slow and steady wins the race, and I believe in paying your dues."
She also told "Cosmo" that a cheating ex, an actor whom she declines to name, ended up breaking her heart. So much so that after the split, she moved back in with her parents for two months. "I was so hurt," she admits. "I'm a confident person, but it killed me."
But Amanda proved capable of bouncing back and that's exactly what she needs to do now.
Four years after her Cosmopolitan interview, Bynes is going through a series of personal issues and public embarrassments.
Some say her problems trace back to June 19, 2010. A Saturday morning in Los Angeles Amanda tweeted to announce that she had decided to retire from acting at the age of 24. Here's what she wrote: "I know 24 is a young age to retire but you heard it here first I've #retired. I don't love acting anymore so I've stopped doing it. If I don't love something anymore I stop doing it. Being an actress isn't as fun as it may seem. I've never written the movies & tv shows I've been apart of I've only acted like the characters the producers or directors wanted me to play. I like black men I'm very attracted to them just fyi."
From the looks of her 2010 tweet, it would be better for a professional psychiatrist rather than the simple minded journalist to analyze a string of tweets declaring her retirement with an abrupt I'm attracted to black men tweet. For the life of me, I just couldn't grasp the conflation of the two expressions.
Note that Bynes has not done a major movie since "Hairspray" in 2007 but did have a supporting role in "Easy A."
Throughout 2011, reportedly, Amanda kept a low profile, especially since starring alongside Emma Stone in 2010's "Easy A." In fact, fans were shocked when — three months before the movie's premiere — she announced she'd be retiring from acting at the age of only 24.
Wetpaint.com reported that it seemed as though Amanda took the vow seriously! On December 12, 2011, she was spotted out and about looking decidedly un-Hollywood. While grabbing a few groceries at Ralph's supermarket in LA, Amanda sported unkempt hair, ridiculously large-rimmed glasses, and a completely makeup-free face.
Two years earlier, Amanda looked red-carpet ready at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
Then, like a time bomb, on March 8, 2012, Amanda's life began to explode.
TMZ reported: "Amanda Bynes made a HUGE mistake during a traffic stop in L.A. yesterday … she blew off the cop while he was writing the ticket and drove away from the scene."
The website conveyed that Bynes was originally pulled over for talking on a cell phone while driving. The officer approached the car and collected all of Amanda's information so he could write up the citation.
But Amanda didn't feel like waiting around … and hit the gas before the cop could hand over the ticket for the actress to sign.
We're told the cop decided NOT to pursue Bynes because he didn't feel she was dangerous … and besides, he already had all of her information.
Later that day, Bynes rolled by the police station and signed the ticket. TMZ said that they were told that Amanda was not off the hook for leaving the scene early.
At the time, authorities looked into the situation and will decided Bynes would not be subject to further charges for her untimely exit.
For all practical purposes this incident stands out as the one event that lunched Amanda's frequent encounters with LAPD.
The 26-year-old actress was next arrested around 3 a.m. on April 6 in West Hollywood. Authorities said her black BMW struck the rear corner of the sheriff's vehicle.
Following the incident, Bynes stubbornly refused to take a Breathalyzer or blood-alcohol test, which is how she ended up having her license suspended, according to law enforcement.
Four days later, Bynes allegedly rear-ended a BMW and fleeing the scene, according to TMZ. It took some time before this case caught up with Amanda because there were not any witnesses.
In august, Amanda had a series of accidents, and in Sept. she was pulled over two or three more times by law enforcement.
After being pulled over for the last time in Sept. an officer decided to have the "Hair Spray" star's car impounded for driving on a suspended license.
On Friday, Sept. 21, 2012, Amanda Bynes faced a very concerned judge, the honorable Elden Fox. Judge Fox officially charged Bynes with two counts of knowingly driving with a suspended license according to MTV.com. Fox's actions came when he learned she had been pulled over by Burbank, California police officers near the Bob Hope Airport last Sunday morning for not having her paperwork in order, and then, shockingly, she was pulled over just an hour and a half later in the same area, obviously still without a license.
If convicted on both charges, Bynes could spend up to a year in jail.
In recent weeks, Bynes denied most of the allegations against her. "I can't help but laugh at all of you writing fake stories about me," she wrote May 27. "I was not in any hit and runs. I don't drink so the DUI is false."
Looks like she's sticking by her statement.

EXCLUSIVE | Craig Lowndes honoured to be Motor Sport Hall of Fame inductee
Supercars legend Craig Lowndes says he honoured to be an inductee into the Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame.
It was announced that Lowndes would be an advanced inductee after a remarkable career in the sport – yielding a phenomenal three Supercars championships and seven Bathurst 1000 victories.
The Australian Motor Sport Hall of Fame recognises contributors on and off the track in all disciplines of motorsport.
The 44-year-old – who is also an Order of Australia medal recipient – will join an illustrious club including the likes of Sir Jack Brabham, Alan Jones, Mick Doohan and mentor Peter Brock.
Lowndes says he couldn't have imagined he would have had the career he did.
"It's always nice to look back at what you've achieved," Lowndes said.
"Last year was really special, obviously making an announcement early in the year to step down as a full-time driver in the Supercars and take on a role in broadcast.
"It was something that shocked a few people, but for me it was the right time.
"You look at any high performing athlete, you never know when the right time is, but for me it felt like the right time.
"I don't wake up at any given time thinking that I've made the wrong choice, it's just a new chapter in my life."
Lowndes confirmed 2018 would be his last as a full-time driver, but he will continue to drive part-time alongside Jamie Whincup in the Enduro Cup.
He also says he's excited to get into the commentary arena.
"It is different," Lowndes said.
"Coming to the closing of last year at Newcastle people were asking me how does it feel to retire?
"At that point I still hadn't finished driving, so the focus was still on being inside a race car looking at tyre pressures and all that.
"Now it all changes to a commentary box, I'm obviously going to try to be informative and get my opinion across on what's going on.
"People may see that I'm a little bit bias to the Red Bull side of it, but if they make a mistake they're going to be accountable like anyone else.
"For me, it's exciting times to shift into that side of the world and to really look forward to what the future holds.
"I don't regret it, I've had a fantastic career in the sport, it's time to move on."
Lowndes finished with 107 race wins from 667 races throughout his career.
The official induction will take place on March 15 with Lowndes the 72nd inductee into the Hall of Fame.

4 Things To Know About Invisalign
Posted on: 14 December 2015
Having a smile that you're proud of is important for most people. However, if you've been born with crooked teeth, you may need to work a little harder at achieving this goal. One way to improve your teeth is by using Invisalign. It's ideal to know certain things about this process in advance to be properly informed.
The Process
In order to get the perfect fit, you will need to visit an orthodontist that specializes in Invisalign. This process will involve having molds designed specifically for your teeth.
It will be necessary also to take X-rays of your teeth and evaluate the movement of your teeth. This will allow the dental professional to create a treatment plan for you that includes the length of time you'll need to wear Invisalign.
The aligners are made of plastic, and this will allow these to be less noticeable to others.
The Requirements
Choosing Invisalign should be well thought out in advance because there are some things you will need to do for optimal results, and these are listed below:
1. You will need to wear Invisalign for at least 22 hours a day.
2. You should only take the aligners out to eat and brush your teeth.
3. You will have to have Invisalign replaced every two weeks with another set.
The Costs
One thing you will want to know before getting Invisalign is sure to be the expense of doing so. It's possible that your dental insurance company may not cover this procedure. However, some providers may pay as much as 50% of the involved costs. Be sure to talk to your insurance company in advance.
The average cost of Invisalign is $3,300–$6,200, and this amount will vary based on some factors. However, the national average of getting Invisalign is $5,000.
The Time
The length of time necessary to wear Invisalign for optimal results will vary per individual. However, it's estimated the average amount of time is between nine to fifteen months. The work that is needed to straighten your teeth will determine how long you should wear these.
There are many benefits of having a smile that you're proud of and want to show off to others. Be sure to schedule a time with a dentist such as Port Orchard Dental Care Center in your local area to begin this process for the best results possible. Be sure to ask whether this procedure is best for your case.Share

Travelling is a great hobby to have. Granted, it's not the cheapest one, but considering all the wonderful things you'll see and the amazing experiences you'll have it's very much worth it. However, when travelling a lot of people choose to go to the most popular destinations like Paris – to see the Eiffel Tower, or London to see the Big Ben, or New York – to see the Statue of Liberty. All those locations are great in their own ways and are definitely worth visiting. But we've come up with 9 interesting places people don't usually think of visiting, but really should.
1. Antarctica
Antarctica isn't the easiest place to travel to. It's not like you could just buy a ticket, hop on a plane and then spend a week wandering the icy land, high-fiving penguins on the way. There's no tourism per se in Antarctica, but there are 3 ways for you to see this gorgeous place. The first one is to take a commercial cruise with a short shore visit. This is the easiest and most popular way so far. The other two options are either a specially mounted land exhibition or sightseeing by air, which means you get to fly over Antarctica in a helicopter.
2. Patagonia
Few people even know about the existence of Patagonia, unless they're from the neighbouring countries. Patagonia is a sparsely populated area in the South America that's actually shared by Argentina and Chile. This place is mostly made up of deserts, grasslands, steppes and the southern part of Andes mountains. You might say it's a whole lot of nothing, it's just a lot of land that's barely been touched by humans. But that's the beauty of it. It's absolutely gorgeous. It's a great place to go for a backpacking vacation. It's kind of like a South American version of the Shire.
3. Croatia
When picking a summer vacation in Europe most people think of going to Italy, Greece or South of France. But why not go to Croatia? It's got a lovely coastline where you can sunbathe on the beach, and it also has a lot of interesting historical and cultural sightseeing spots for you to visit and enjoy. For example some of the architecture in this country has been around since the middle ages. How impressive is that?
4. Kenya (Ngorongoro Crater)
Let's be honest, when you hear Kenya you can't help but imagine one of those countries Angelina Jolie would go on a vacation to and adopt a couple of kids while she's at it. But Kenya is much more than that. It's a great place to go on a safari and see wild animals like lions, elephants and rhinos in their natural habitat. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a place in Kenya that is especially beautiful because it's one of the few places on our planet that hasn't been altered by humans. It's a protected area that's a World Heritage Site, and it contains a huge volcanic caldera.
5. Vanuatu (Yasur Volcano)
Vanuatu is a great place to go to if you like swimming, diving or scuba diving. The nation is made up of over 80 islands and there's coral reefs and sunken sheeps you can explore. It's a great place for an unusual and interesting beach vacation. It's also one of the few places on earth where you can witness an eruption volcano. Mount Yasur has been erupting for 3 years non stop, a couple of times an hour.
6. Myanmar
Lots of people travel to Asia, but few actually go to Myanmar. Perhaps the reason for that is the confusion with the name. You see, Myanmar used to be called Burma. Myanmar has a lot of visually stunning, and culturally exciting things to offer. Their places of worship called Pagoda are especially fascinating and beautiful. The most popular way of seeing those is taking a ride on a hot air balloon. How exciting is that?
7. Saint Petersburg (Russia)
Russia isn't the most popular travel destination, at least right now, due to their political situation. Also, it's a huge country and trying to see all of it would be very difficult so people usually go to the capital. Not the worst choice, but if you really want to see the best of what Russia has to offer you should visit Saint Petersburg. It's truly the cultural capital of Russia, with many museums, theaters and interesting art exhibitions. It's a place mostly associated with painters, poets, writers and various artist.
8. Mongolia
Mongolia was very sheltered during the times of the Soviet Union and traveling to Mongolia was almost impossible. These days it's slowly but surely moving towards being a tourist friendly country. Mongolia is a very unique place. It offers those lucky ones who get to visit gorgeous scenery, rich culture, vast untouched landscapes and a look at nomadic lifestyle, which is unusual these days.
9. Yunnan (old town of Lijiang)
Yunnan is a province in China that few tourists get to see, which is a shame. It's a place where you can see huge rice terraces, beautiful lakes and snow-tipped mountains all at once. The old town of Lijiang is a particularly interesting city to visit. It used to be a huge commercial centre back in the 13th century, and a lot of the buildings and streets in the city have remained unchanged since then. Visiting Lijiang is like traveling back in time, in the best way possible.
