I am pretty sure I saw Jane Sanders, wife of Bernie Sanders, perform the wife chop last week on cable television.
What is the wife chop, you ask? It is the desperate hand motion wives make in public to indicate to their mansplainin', boring or just plain air-sucking husbands that they need to stop talking now.
In Jane Sanders' case, the stakes were high (although not quite so high as this week's New York primary in which voters, by awarding victory or defeat, may be the ultimate silencer.)
Bernie Sanders had just come off a contentious debate with Hillary Clinton. which had shown them both in a less than felicitous light: there had been yelling (his and hers), sneering, finger wagging (Bernie's passive aggressive way of interrupting), and a rather grim set to Hillary's jaw as they traded off objections to each other's policies and some fairly nasty pointing out of each other's weaknesses.
My initial reaction had been a disappointed sigh. Two great candidates, vying for the Democratic presidential nomination, head and shoulders above anything the Republicans have to offer, who managed, in a feel-bad debate, to look as though they both had been sucking on lemons for hours. (Might I suggest a call to the Justin Trudeau helpline 1-800-sunny-ways?)
Then, during a four-minute plus postdebate interview on CNN, as Bernie continued to blather on, his wife Jane loomed into the frame and did that cut motion with her hands that directors (and wives) use. In truth, Bernie looked as if he wanted to stop but couldn't. So she did him — and most viewers — a favour.
It reminded me that, for all the negative attention paid to mansplainin' (men's patronizing tendency to explain things that most women or indeed most people already know), women have a few hard-wired conversational tendencies themselves.
I have never known a wife or female partner who hasn't tried discreetly in public to stop her husband from saying something he shouldn't or from speaking too long, whether it was to tell the room what his sister-in-law said in private, to explain why Stephen Hawking was only partly right about black holes, or to elaborate on the real problem with the Jays lineup, while the other guests look more glazed than the ham.
The wife chop can vary. While my husband is by all accounts a charming and entertaining guy, once he gets going on a story it's hard to get him to stop. Possibly — and this is important — it's because he doesn't want to stop.
I once kicked him (gently) under the table until he said aloud at a dinner, "Why are you kicking me?" I have occasionally waved my hand in a weird fashion to signal the end of the story, and I've coughed, shaken my head, and of course employed the wife chop.
But here's my question. Why do women feel they have to take responsibility for their partner's patter? "Oh my God," a friend once told me, "I tell my husband that if he has been talking for more than a minute without pause he needs to stop and let other people weigh in. He once bored two young women in an airport lounge and I was mortified."
Conversely, I have met few men who feel the need to monitor or take any responsibility for what their female partner is saying or how long she is taking to say it.
I think women in general are still more receptive to emotional climate and cues, and therefore notice when a roomful of people are starting to emit "kill me now" vibes. Women worry more about interrupting, going on too long no matter how delightful their speaking is, or just taking up too much conversational space.
Face it, every political candidate, male or female, needs someone to give them the hook. So I'm not blaming Jane Sanders. A press secretary would have done the same. I was just surprised to see her openly administer the chop, perhaps meant for the cable crew as much as for her husband.
If Donald Trump is the GOP nominee, it's difficult to imagine his relatively discreet wife Melania ("come up here honey and say a few words" her husband demanded at one rally) deploy the wife chop. And certainly, if Hillary is the Democratic nominee, she'll be chopping Bill more than he'll be chopping her.
A Hillary-Donald contest would be a field day for genderology, if that term exists. Watching one powerful female leader and one male demagogue try to get the verbal upper hand on each other during a debate would spawn seminars on male and female speaking styles.
I've grown weary of both Democrats yelling — an equal opportunity blunder born of exhaustion and frustration. But only one really gets dinged for it. Or as the New Yorker pundit Hendrik Hertzberg, who calls himself a Hillary "supporter" tweeted during that last debate "For the love of God, Hillary, please lower your voice."
When shamed for it, Hertzberg's defence was "Bernie always yells" and that Hillary, when she speaks "calmly and conversationally" is "dynamite."
Dynamite. An apt word for all the minefields men and women tiptoe through while speaking to, against—and even for—each other.

Qualcomm is asking a Chinese court to ban Apple from selling or manufacturing iPhones in China that infringe on its patents, in a major escalation of the legal battle between the two tech giants, Bloomberg reports.
Why it matters: The two companies were already at war, legally, but had kept the battle from stopping the two companies from doing business. Despite the fight, Apple remains one of Qualcomm's biggest customers and Apple relies on Qualcomm for a key modem chip, although it gets some modem chips from Intel.

Good 7.4 From 148 reviews
Disgusting and dirty
Not very convenient to get into town. Room was quite outdated and needed updating.
Very spacious room with a nice breakfast table outdoors. Reception was always so helpful in arranging taxis and breakfast was great as well.
was not located around anything the reviews had mentioned
The hotel was great, the breakfast wasn't the best but that's what you get here. Average breakfast in my opinion. Didn't know there is some city tax 6 euro per person and since we were nine, it gets expensive. They should let us know on hotels.com to read the small print before booking. Other than that, it was good.

Titan Foods is a giant Greek grocery store on 31st Street, Astoria, a NY neighborhood with a strong Greek Diaspora presence. The grocery store has been importing products and items from Greece for many years, but the financial crisis in the Mediterranean country is beginning to affect its smooth operation lately. Now, right before the Greek Orthodox Easter,Titan Foods is having a hard time trying to import all necessary products from Greece, as reported by the New York Daily News.
The ongoing crisis in Greece, closing factories and shipping strikes have narrowed the suppliers' list of Titan Foods from 200 to 100, explained the owner of the store Costas Mastoras to the New York Daily. This Easter he will be only able to provide 75% of the normally stocked items and is feverishly looking for new supplying alternatives that will get him out of the dire situation.
For Mastoras, who has been selling Greek products for 32 years, ranging from feta cheese to gourmet products originating from small Greek islands, the situation is unprecedented. Exports from small Greek islands have stagnated the past years due to continuing shipping strikes and the lack of liquidity in the Greek economy.

What is climate change? A definition from the Department of Ecology of Washington State reads: Climate includes patterns of temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind and seasons. It affects more than just a change in the weather and refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time. These climate patterns play a fundamental role in shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and cultures that depend on them.
It may be used inter-changably with global warming as they're closely related. Global warming causes climates to change. Here is NASA discussion on the two terms, What's In A Name?
We recommend you listen and learn which is the best advice we can give to begin to understand the challenges before us.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Computer hackers claim to have breached Apple Inc.'s site, posting what they alleged were internal passwords and usernames from one of the technology company's servers.
Anonymous, the group claiming to be behind the attack, on Sunday posted information allegedly used by Apple AAPL, +3.15% for online surveys, rather than data having to do with customers, on a public file-sharing Web site.
In a Twitter message about the claimed breach, the group said Apple might become a bigger target but that the group is currently too busy with other efforts.
The latest incident come amid an expanding campaign by hackers called Anti Security, or AntiSec. AntiSec reportedly includes hackers from both the online vigilante group Anonymous and hackers from the now-defunct Lulz Security.

Here's a letter to myself. I've tried to explain all about the changes I've felt in me. The good and bad ones.
Dear present,
Lust and darkness, they took over my mind
All I did was mourn for something what I never had,
Lost faith in myself,
And now that I've met you
And I feel more confident to express me
I've learned the art of accepting my flaws
I've seen people changing for good.
Having no one around to talk,
No fear posses me anymore
I now know forgiving is a favor you do to yourself
I do not lie any more
Where the world is looking for wealth, fame and power
And I chose to give a meaning to this Life

Know About The History of Casey Key And People Who Live In It
Case Key, Florida is a beautiful island that is known to have a famous lifestyle, wonderful beaches, natural landscapes, and beautiful and elegant homes. No one would imagine that it would change to this since it was a wild region in the 1840's and the history is very intriguing hence one wouldn't think anything good would ever come out of it.
It is seen as an incredible paradise with magnificent waterfront estates old beach cottages of which many have been razed to pave way for new single family homes enclosed behind enormous walls with beautifully designed wrought iron gates. Casey Key, Florida is one of the most popular barrier islands and one of the most sought after pieces of the Florida real estate.
In the mid-1800s, the US government sent a graduate of West Poet, John Charles Casey to survey the area and he was also assigned the task of assisting in the removal of the Seminole Indian from the area of the sea theme.
On the 1849 map, the Key was called the Chaise's Key and the name John Casey was also there marking the areas where he was surveying but when Casey's camp was published in 1856, the name had already changed to Casey's Key. It was a mistake and several attempts have been made to have the name changed to Chaise's Key, so in 1920's during the real estate boom, the name changed to Treasure Island so as to spur land sales. However, each time there was an attempt to change the name; the residents changed it back to Casey Key so till today the name remains.
John Case built a spirit of trust with the Seminole Indians and the influential chief the Florida Seminole, Billy Bowlegs while he was aiding in the removal hence there was a fragile peace between them until Casey's health started failing. In 1855 the Seminole war erupted and in 1858, Bowlegs was deported to the western part the United States. Once the civil war was over, people began settling on the land around Casey Key and it was common to see people sailing on the bays in the shallow waters. The real estate boom in the 1920s made channels open, altered and dredged and the shores filled. The Treasure Island bridge was built in 1923 at the north end of the island and this is one of the few one lane rotating swing bridges that are still in use today although of obsolete functional.
Casey key stretches between the island of Venice and Siesta Key for approximately eight miles running parallel to the South Sarasota communities i.e. Nokomis and Osprey. It has two public beaches at the south end, i.e. Nokomis and North Jetty Park and both are popular spots for visitors who come to Casey Key for the captivating native wildlife ad extraordinary scenic views and old Florida charm and rich history. Nokomis is the largest and uncrowded and it is made up of seashells and sand and sheltered by tropical shrubs and palm trees. There are picnic sites, bars, boardwalks and a boat launching ramp and there is a free parking nearby. If you are lucky enough, you could see the towns drum circle who meet to play at the beach a couple of evenings each week. The north jetty park beach has fine white sand and it is one of the best spots for surfing in the whole of Florida's west coast. These beaches are open daily and during peak hours, there are lifeguards on duty.
There is a Private Casey Key beach that is a great place to collect shark' teeth, sea glass and seashells. In the south and north ends of Casey Key, there are two bridges that connect Casey Key to the mainland and you can get an opportunity to photograph and cross a piece of Route 789 history in south Sarasota County. From the bridge, as you head north to the Casey road, you can catch a glimpse of massive homes that have been burrowed in wooded natural beauty with a sandy strip of shoreline. Southwards from Blackburn point, there are monolithic dwellings with private beaches and cabins on the gulf running four miles and there are large boats with docks on the intra-coastal waterway. This is where you would find the rich and famous relaxing and a property within the Gulf to Bay was being purchased for $20,000 in the 1950s and today the cost of real estate in Casey key has gone up to millions with a small estate selling about $25 million.
The rich and famous people who own homes in Casey Key include:
Horror fiction novelist Stephen King has a winter home, which is one of the priciest homes on the island that was outsourced in April 2001. The house which has 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a swimming pool and sits on 6,817 square feet is currently valued at $25million.
Film director Victor Nunez has a home here and he filmed the movie adaptation of John D MacDonald's novel "flash of green" in 1984, here in Casey because he thought it resembled a 1950's era small Floridian community.
Philanthropists, engineers and world travelers Fritz and Ping Faulhaber bought a gulf to bay property in 1998 for $2.06 million, a Spanish style home 20017and they have a 1.2-acre pagoda garden which contains a rose garden, Chinese pavilions, and edible garden.
TV and talk show host Rosie O'Donnell bought a 4,647 square foot house for $5 million and it is a four bedroom, seven bath house with French oak flooring, built-in water coolers dishwashers, custom cabinetry, a coffee station, outdoor bar, boat slip, bar, and pool.
On the southern bridge, there are other property rentals and B & BS with private beaches that are offered for rent. Casey key is a small beachfront community with no high rise condominiums or traffic lights, but you will get a few moms and pops motel remains

The 5 things that have given me the greatest return in life
Four years ago, I was "advised" to withdraw from business school.
This year, after receiving my degree, I relocated myself and my business to Barcelona, Spain after traveling and working on the road in the US for a few months.
I'm now a coauthor/ghostwriter for two Amazon best-sellers and have dedicated all my time to focus on my passion: helping entrepreneurs turn their passion into a livelihood.
I'm only 22. But I can without any doubt say that these are the exact changes I made that have seriously, significantly changed the direction of my life:
1. READ. every single day. Make time no matter what. Here's how I do it.
2. Spend no more than 20 minutes on social media per day. Delete the apps.
3. Meditate every morning (steal my playlist).
4. Exercise in some way, in some capacity.
5. Text your family + friends something nice. I made a notification to do this and my relationships have never been stronger.
Every big positive change I can linked back to one of these actions. That's it.

Another Quiet Night on Overseas Markets
US equity markets were slightly weaker on Monday, with the S&P500 and Nasdaq Composite Indices declining by 0.18% and 0.16% respectively. The S&P500 declined 4.60 points to close at 2544.73.
As noted in Monday's update, the S&P500, as measured by short-term momentum indicators, is currently heavily overbought, increasing the risk that prices pause at current levels to consolidate. Should prices indeed begin to correct, initial support is located in the 2500 to 2480 range.
European equities were largely firmer, with the DAX30 and EuroStoxx50 gaining by 0.16% and 0.20% respectively, while the FTSE100 in the UK dipped 0.20% to close at 7507.89. The ASX200 rallied on Monday, lifting further away from key support between 5640 and 5660. The Index closed at 5739.26, back towards the upper boundary of the current trading range. While buyers remain committed at current levels, a clear break of 5800 is required to signal the start of a new uptrend.
It was a fairly quiet start to the week in terms of important economic data releases. Chinese PMI came in at 51.4, a decline of a full point from the previous reading in September. Meanwhile, Industrial production data out from the Eurozone was positive, with a month on month increase of 2.6%, taking the year on year growth to August to 4.7%. This was well above market expectations of 3.0%.
The Aussie Dollar continues to push lower, a trend which has been in place since early September. The AUD closed at 77.52 US cents on Monday, well below recent highs of around the 80 US cent mark from only a month ago.
Plenty of Australian companies are paying out dividends this week, including DOW and CNU today, SHL, COH, and FBU on the 11th, BXB, S32, on Thursday, and then QAN, CSL, FLT, SEK, and GNE on Friday. This follows on from a big week of dividends last week, meaning many investors will be finding additional cash in their accounts, ready to put to use.

6 Essential Things To Look For In Your Data Analytics Platform
As more and more organizations are turning to Big Data and advanced analytics to unlock the true value of their data, the competition between data analytics vendors is heating up.
Most organizations have evolved passed the initial hype around Big Data where they wanted to work with it just because everyone was doing it. Now the expectation is that an investment in data and analytics will translate into a measurable ROI, from helping to manage the day-to-day operations to shaping long-term strategy. In the finance industry in particular, data discovery tools are creating opportunities to detect and fight fraud in ways that were not possible before.
Admittedly, as one of the players in this industry, our opinion of what makes or breaks a platform is biased. Nevertheless, this list of 6 essential criteria should narrow down your search for the right vendor.
Note that these are essentials for top performing data analytics tools. All vendors will promise to "do more with your data" but we are not all created equal: the ones that don't live up to these criteria shouldn't make the cut for your business.
6 Criteria for an Outstanding Data Analytics Platform
- 1
Ease of Onboarding and Use
A minimum learning curve and little to no change in existing hardware or workflows will get you up and running as soon as possible. But that's just the start. If you want the tool to become a core part of your long-term data strategy, employees not only need to be able to use it intuitively, but must actually love using it because it makes their job easier.
- 2
Works with Disparate Data Sources
There are numerous opportunities for data analytics when a platform can truly integrate and correlate various types of data in one place. There are ATMs, POS systems, cameras, sensors, social media chatter, web analytics, discount programs, loyalty programs, etc. All of these systems create data in many different forms: structured, unstructured, or a mix of both. The goal is not to analyze them individually, but for them to be combined to create unique contextual insights. As Mark Smith, CEO of Ventana Research, wrote: "Big Data is broken without integration".
- 3
Facilitates Collaboration
Data discovery can benefit an entire organization or an individual department, but decisions are hard to come by without some form of discussion or collaboration. While it's easy to believe that an organization has a hard time sharing knowledge across departments, what is more disheartening is the concerning lack of information sharing within individual departments. A centralized platform for detecting suspicious activity and managing fraud investigations gives employees and investigators a location where alerts, reports and important information can be shared, enabling them to work together to expedite investigations. With the Ever-Changing Threat Landscape, Knowledge is Power.
- 4
Scalability and Evolvability
A good solution works for your needs today but might become obsolete just a few years from now. A great solution will be flexible enough to grow and evolve as your business needs change and your data strategy grows. This is important as it will help keep you up-to-date with the rapidly changing needs of investigators who deal with fraud and will allow you to better manage the increasing volume and variety of data your organizations interacts with on a daily basis.
- 5
Visualizations and Dashboarding
The purpose of using a new data discovery platform is not just to see your data in one place, but rather to see your data in ways that help drive and improve decision making. A great data dashboards will allow you to absorb and understand what's happening in your business in a short amount of time. Whether you have ten minutes to spend looking at your data or ten hours, powerful visualizations will enable you to pinpoint outliers and action items to help you effectively perform your duties. And remember, these visualizations serve as a top layer to larger datasets. By pinpointing where your time is best spent, you'll decrease the time spent drilling-down into these large data sets while improving the quality of evidence you are able to collect.
- 6
Keeps Your Data Free and Open
In a recent blog post, Vishal Kumar, CEO of Cognizeus, explained the importance of this: "A good product design should not keep customers sticky by keeping their data hostage. A good tool should bank on its features, usability and data-driven design." He believes that data and it's knowledge should be easy to import/export to common formats (csv, xml, PDF, etc.). This allows you to leverage 3rd party tools more seamlessly so you can get the most benefit out of all of your data discovery investments. Keeping your data free will play an instrumental role in fulfilling the criteria mentioned above, i.e., visualization, collaboration, and ease of use.

"First it is factually not true that everybody that supported that resolution supported Bush attacking Iraq before the UN inspectors were through. Chuck Hagel was one of the co-authors of that resolution. The only Republican Senator that always opposed the war. Every day from the get-go. He authored the resolution to say that Bush could go to war only if they didn't co-operate with the inspectors and he was assured personally by Condi Rice as many of the other Senators were. So, first the case is wrong that way."
"Second, it is wrong that Senator Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he had been against the war in every year, numerating the years, and never got asked one time, not once, 'Well, how could you say that, when you said in 2004 you didn't know how you would have voted on the resolution? You said in 2004 there was no difference between you and George Bush on the war and you took that speech you're now running on off your website in 2004 and there's no difference in your voting record and Hillary's ever since?' Give me a break.
"This whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I've ever seen...So you can talk about Mark Penn all you want. What did you think about the Obama thing calling Hillary the Senator from Punjab? Did you like that?"
"Or what about the Obama hand out that was covered up, the press never reported on, implying that I was a crook? Scouring me, scathing criticism, over my financial reports. Ken Starr spent $70 million and indicted innocent people to find out that I wouldn't take a nickel to see the cow jump over the moon.
"So, you can take a shot at Mark Penn if you want. It wasn't his best day. He was hurt, he felt badly that we didn't do better in Iowa. But you know, the idea that one of these campaigns is positive and the other is negative when I know the reverse is true and I have seen it and I have been blistered by it for months, is a little tough to take. Just because of the sanitizing coverage that's in the media, doesn't mean the facts aren't out there.
"Otherwise I do not have any strong feelings about that subject."
[Bill Clinton, Jan. 8, 2008]

How do you include partner income on T2125?
I have clients (not spouses) that are 50/50 partners in a business. However, each have some individual income and expenses related to the business. The expenses are included in Part 6 of the T2125. In other tax apps the individual's income would be entered in Part 5 of the T2125. Am I able to do that in Profile (without an override)? What's the best approach, do the override or complete each client's T2125 ignoring the partnership?

Reducing the backlog of the immigration applications in Canada
In the recent budget the Federal government announced that are cancelling the application for skilled worker categories who had applied before February 2008 and the reason is again backlog and they want to reduce the number of applications or row of applications. They have promised these applicants can reapply and the government will refund the fee which has been collected by the CIC. After this decision it is a hot issue and it is criticized by the applicants and the public but the federal government found out the way to solve of Canada's eight-year-long 284,000 – applicant immigration backlog the simplest way to erased it.
The Ottawa has cancelled applications. It might been fairer for the government to sift through the waiting list for particularly worthy candidates, but the list had become so long that just starting over made a pragmatic sense. The government's goal of creating a "fast and flexible economic immigration system" could never get off the ground as long as the enormous backlog existed.
There are compelling reasons for an overhaul that includes prioritizing younger immigrants with Canadian experience and knowledge of French and English. Canada's employers have long complained of mismatch between available jobs and the skilled workers admitted under the current immigration point system. They are now also warning for a looming skills shortage in Canada. Meanwhile, recent immigrants who have arrived in Canada without knowing English or French or without job skills those are in demand. Are struggling financially.
On the other hand the applicants saying, "They are disturbed and they wasted their time because when someone apply for immigration he changed his focus and resources". Their life direction is changed now and the government is not returning their fee with interest and the fee which they had given to the professional or to the consultants. Their life plan is totally messed up. The government reason for backlog is not enough to justify they can stop to take future application instead to cancelled the previous one because when someone enter in the row no one can come front of the row because this is the system and we all follow the rules first come first serve basis. Now it's very hard to find out the way to settle the plan or for future plan.
A critically important area that still needs to be addressed is recognition of foreign credentials because we have educate people but their education is not recognised by Canadian standards we have to create a system where they can upgrade their skills. When someone apply under the point system we say "yes" when they beat the criteria when they enter in the system we say "NO". So this is the loophole and we are seeking skilled young worker but the criteria is same.
But the government decision about cancelled the skilled worker applications that is sole base on economic factors because the role and skills of workers are changed since that time. The boom was on peak and economy was booming and right now its looming and if the government allow to all the applicants there will be a fold of people but will not enough jobs because of the credentials problem.
So far it's a good step to reduce the backlog of the immigration applications in Canada. At least it will give a break for system and they will process the applications in proper time manners and it will help to reduce the burden of backlog.

If you required a tooth extraction in the 1700s, it is quite likely that you wouldn't have had a stool to sit on during the process. Most likely your dentist would have asked you to sit on the floor. He would have knelt behind you securing your head between his knees. This position provided easy access to your teeth and it kept your head still. This was prior to the invention of pain-killers, hence the reason for the hold down. Some dentists dealt with the squirmy patients and chose to set dental patients in a normal chair, without a head rest, while they were treated. Either experience used to be painful both for the patient and dentist.
In 1790, back and neck saver, Josiah Flagg, an American dentist, took a wooden chair and created a special head rest to improve the patient's position, keeping the head in a fixed position while operating. He used a large Windsor style chair. He attached the head rest and an arm extension where he created space for dental equipment placement, and a place for patients to cling on to during tough procedures. The adjustments were revolutionary for that time and the actual design was used for a long time.
In 1832 the reclining chair was created. James Snell of London designed and created the first fully adjustable dental chair. The adjustment features were minor, but it helped innovate our current dental chair design, and by late 1800s, they were the most popular in the market.
In 1848, Milton Waldo Hanchett of Syracuse, NY patented the first modern dental chair. This chair included a headrest, a height-adjustable seat, and a back that could be tilted to put the patient and dentist at ease.
In 1867, Dr. James Beall Morrison, created the chair with foot pedals, and more movement. It had many new features such as footrest, ball-and socket joint beneath the chair, and vertical adjustment.
In 1877 Professor and dentist, Basil Manly Wilkerson introduced the first model of "The Wilkerson Chair". This model featured an up-and-down trajectory. It was the world's first pump-type hydraulic dental chair, and marketed at a "hefty" price of $175.
As in all other aspects of dentistry, chair technology still to this day continues to advance. Chairs we use today are made of steel, plastic, and aluminum. They all involve electronic or hydraulic components. This provides quick and smooth movements. Each design takes into account the latest in ergonomics, hygiene and convenience of the dentist.
The next time you find yourself in a dental chair, lay back, relax, and remember that you're enjoying the finest dental chair experience that history has to offer! It is something that we as dental care providers are very thankful every single day we are in the office.
Chairs of the past...
Today's Luxurious Possibilities!
Sleep and its role in the quality of your life…
Have you ever thought about the value of sleep and the impact lack of sleep has on one's life? By definition, the word "sleep" means a period of rest for the body and mind, during which volition and consciousness are in abeyance and bodily functions are partially suspended; also described as a behavioral state, with characteristic immobile posture and diminished but readily reversible sensitivity to external stimuli. Wow! Sounds very complex doesn't it? Proper sleep is so vital to one's health that without a proper sleep pattern one's quality of life is diminished. Regular amounts of sleep are vital to your health, happiness, social life and success.
Someone suffering from a sleep disorder may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
· Snoring
· Sleepier than expected during the day
· Problems falling asleep easily
· Has trouble staying asleep
· Clenches and grinds teeth while asleep
· Moves around a lot while sleeping
· Sleepwalks or talks in sleep
· Has frequent nightmares
· Poor concentration
· Behavioral problems in school
· Memory problems
If you or anyone you know suffers from these symptoms it might be time to have a consultation with a sleep specialist. The majority of people with sleep disturbances clench and grind their teeth in search of proper air. Many times this habit known as "Bruxism" goes unnoticed. It is very common for people to have anatomical constriction associated with breathing. As a result, the brain tells the teeth to grind together and move around in order to widen the space for air to pass through.
Some causes of constricted airway space include:
· Large tonsils
· Forward posturing of the neck
· TMJ disorder
· Whiplash/Neck trauma
· Missing back teeth
· Under developed mandible (lower jaw)
· Overly large tongue
· Narrow Maxilla (upper jaw)
· Facial trauma
Most people I treat with TMJ disorders almost always present with sleep disorders as well. The body will do whatever it has to in order to breath in air. This normally includes clenching and grinding the teeth to find a path for air to pass through. Sleeping on one's side or tossing and turning while asleep. Posturing the neck and lower jaw forward are also common habits people have in order to open the airway space near the back of the throat. Breathing through the mouth is also a very good sign that someone suffers from an airway constriction and a sleep disorder.
A receded lower jaw (mandible) with a large overjet of the upper front teeth normally appears in people who have sleep disturbances and can usually be detected in very young children. Treatment for sleep disorders can vary depending on the accuracy of the diagnosis. Many people with sleep disorders benefit from orthotic sleep appliances that fit securely over the teeth. Other methods of treatment may be beneficial as well depending on the results of a professional sleep study. A complete dental evaluation of how the teeth occlude together along with a TMJ examination will aid in a complete and proper diagnosis of most types of sleep disorders.
With today's diagnostic imaging technology along with a thorough clinical evaluation many people are living life better than ever before simply by solving airway obstruction problems. Pay close attention to the symptoms mentioned above and if you or your loved ones suffer from any form of sleep disturbance I recommend you seek a consultation and evaluation. A well trained dentist who focuses on TMJ and airway space disorders is a great starting point!

If the staff is not friendly or willing to answer all of your questions, consider finding another piercing studio.
The healing process
A pierced tongue can take four to six weeks to heal. Pierced lips take between one and two months to heal. During this healing period, here's what you should do:
If you notice any of the following warning signs after getting an oral piercing, contact a healthcare professional right away:
As soon as a child's first tooth comes in, it should be brushed. But 63 percent of American parents didn't begin brushing for their children at this time. Instead, they waited until there were a few or even a full set of teeth.
The first tooth – and all subsequent teeth – should be brushed gently with a soft, child-sized toothbrush and a smear of fluoride toothpaste twice a day until age 2. A small, pea-sized amount of toothpaste should be used from ages 2 to 6. Even before children get the first tooth, the mouth and gums should be wiped with a soft, damp cloth or infant toothbrush after feedings.
Poorly established brushing habits have helped contribute to so many kids having cavities. These habits set a foundation for children as they get older. It's important for parents to get their children in a routine as soon as the first tooth appears, so they don't question the habit later on.
Children's bottles and sippy cups at naptime and bedtime should be filled with water
Many parents don't know that children shouldn't be put to bed with a bottle or sippy cup, unless it contains water. But, 46 percent of parents with children under age 3 put their child down for a nap or bedtime with a bottle or sippy cup containing milk or juice at least once a week or more.
Fruit juice, and even plain milk, can be harmful to young kids' oral health. Both beverages have many grams of sugar that, when left to bathe on teeth at naptime or overnight, can result in tooth decay.
Parents should only fill bottles or sippy cups with water, except at meal and snack times. And anytime children are given sugary beverages or snacks, teeth should be either rinsed with water or brushed afterward.
Some other important habits for healthy smiles:
Written by: Dr. Christine R. Wenrick
Do you suffer from jaw pain? Headaches? Maybe even neck pain and ringing in your ears?
The link between these symptoms and The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is almost always a given. Too many people suffer with TMJ Disorders and don't even know it.
The TMJ is a major joint in the body and probably the most used. This joint allows us to nourish our bodies threw the process of chewing. Without this joint's proper function the ability to chew healthy food is significantly diminished.
The TMJ is located just in front of our ear canals. It functions like a hinge connecting the upper jaw to the lower jaw. These joints are flexible and should always move freely without pain, noises, or locking.
Unfortunately, the TMJ's are often traumatized at an early age by macro-trauma. Falling on our chin as a toddler can disrupt the normal growth of this joint causing dysfunction later in life. Car accidents, sports injuries, whiplash, concussions, and neck problems can disrupt the normal function and anatomy of these joints.
If you suffer from any of these symptoms you may have a TMJ disorder:
· Pain or soreness in the face
· Limitations with opening the mouth
· A bite shift
· Headaches, earaches, neck and shoulder pain
· Clenching and grinding of teeth
· Jaws that get "stuck" or "locked" open or closed
· Clicking, popping, or grating noises when opening, closing, or eating
· Difficulty chewing
· Ringing in the ears
Many TMJ disorders occur at a much younger age than when these symptoms actually start to surface. Most disruption in the jaw joint involves the disc becoming dislocation, or herniated. The TMJ Disc is a soft, cushion permanently attached to the jaw joint bones themselves. Any of the previously mentioned traumas can cause this disc to detach itself from the TMJ leaving potentially permanent side effects. Symptoms related to disc detachment normally happen visually in the bite. This visual change is only something that a trained dentist can actual see. There are tell-tale signs in tooth on tooth contact that a trained TMJ dentist will look for and educate the patient.
Poor sleep, sleep apnea, snoring, and tired tight facial jaw muscles are other signs of a TMJ Disorder. The more detailed a patient is with their history of trauma and symptoms, the better a trained TMJ Dentist can diagnose and treat TMJ Disorders.
Pain medication, steroids, and anti-inflammatory drugs should only be used on a temporary basis while diagnosing and treating this disorder. The ultimate goal is to restore the TMJ structures to the healthiest position possible. Treating structures appropriately from a detailed diagnostic perspective is key. Image based diagnostic criteria via MRI's and CT Scans becomes the standard of care while making accurate diagnoses and treatment choices for the TM Joint.
The key to treating structural TMJ problems is as always, early detection. Normally, an acute TMJ disorder treated as early as possible can have very good treatment results for the patient. Left untreated, most conditions will turn chronic and lead to many different locations of pain and even arthritic changes in the joint's bone structure. When visiting one's dentist, if any of the above symptoms are present always ask he or she for a referral to a dentist trained in the treatment of TMJ or associated disorders.
According to the CDC, almost 70 percent of American's are affected by dental decay by the age of 19. Left untreated tooth decay or cavities can result in pain, infection and tooth loss.
Sealants do wear naturally. Despite the heavy pressures from chewing they have the potential to remain very effective for seven years or more if properly cared for.
Many people wanting to slim down are jumping on the low-carbohydrate diet trend in an attempt to lose weight. However, as dieters shed pounds, many are saying goodbye to carbs and hello to halitosis.
Low-carb diets work by limiting the amount of carbohydrates ingested, which allows the body to burn stored fat instead of carbohydrates. When the body burns fat as fuel, chemicals called ketones are produced. These ketones are released in the breath and urine and may result in halitosis. Ketones aren't the only bad breath culprit for this diet. The types of foods ingested also play a role.
"Most cases of bad breath originate from the breakdown of food particles that produce sulfur compounds, and from bacteria on the gums and tongue," says Academy of General Dentistry spokesperson Bruce DeGinder, DDS, MAGD. " High-protein foods can produce more sulfur compounds, especially overnight on the surface of the tongue when saliva production is diminished."
Tips to combat halitosis:
1. Drink water to wash away germs
Drinking plenty of water can help dilute the concentration of ketones, but that isn't the only benefit. Drinking water throughout the day can help cleanse teeth of excess bacteria and food debris. Bad breath can sometimes be caused by food particles caught in the teeth, and drinking water will help rinse away odor-causing particles.
2. Chew sugarless gum with xylitol
Chewing sugarless gum after meals can help keep bad breath away. Saliva production increases during chewing and this can help neutralize acid production and rinse food particles from the mouth. Chewing parsley can have the same effect because it also increases saliva production.
Sugar-free gum with xylitol can also help prevent cavities. Xylitol is a natural sweetener found in plants and fruits, and research shows it inhibits the growth of Streptococcus mutans, the oral bacteria that cause cavities.
3. Keep a toothbrush handy and brush after all meals
Brushing and flossing at least twice a day can help keep your mouth healthy and prevent odors. An AGD survey found that 75 percent of people eat at the office but less than 15 percent of them brush their teeth after eating. Cleaning the tongue with a toothbrush or tongue scraper after meals can also help alleviate odors.
4. Ask your dentist about prescription mouth rinse and tooth paste for and extra kick to combat bad breath. Our office keeps Breath RX products in stock.
If halitosis continues, a general dentist or doctor can help determine the source of the odor. Halitosis can sometimes have more serious causes. "Ketone breath is also used to describe a fruity smell on the breath that can be an indication that a person may have diabetes," says Dr. DeGinder. "This can originate when the body is breaking down fat particles because there is not sufficient glucose present as fuel for energy."

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo yesterday signed a cannabis decriminalization and expungement statute, a sort of second prize following the state's failure to pass legalization of adult use of cannabis in June. The bill takes effect in 30 days and provides just a violation (like a traffic ticket) for possession of up to two ounces of marijuana. The new law also sets up a procedure for those convicted of possession of small amounts of cannabis to seek expungement of their records. The fine for possession of less than an ounce will be $50, or $200 if you possess between one and two ounces.
Many were disappointed when the Democrat-controlled legislature failed to complete legalization with its Democrat Governor. Key legislators blamed the Governor for his apparent unwillingness to be more hands on in pressuring some Senators to support the bill. Cuomo, for his part, said that if the majority support was not there, it was not for him to push. Much of the disagreement related to how far to take embedding social justice efforts into the law and how to use tax revenues to help communities long impacted negatively by the war on drugs. Many hope there will be an opportunity to revisit the issue when the legislature next convenes in January.
As the fourth largest state with 19 million people, New York legalizing adult use would be a major step for the industry. New Jersey also failed to pass adult use legislation this year and intends to put it up for a voter referendum in 2020. New York law does not permit referendums short of a Constitutional convention. Empire State voters decide on whether to hold a convention every 20 years, and voted down the effort in 2017. The industry was pleased when Illinois, the sixth largest US state with almost 13 million people, passed adult use legalization last month, the 11th state to fully legalize cannabis.

Employees dedicate their professional lives to your company, so they deserve to know what's going on within their team, department and the organization as a whole. Not only is keeping people informed the right thing to do, it also helps them do their jobs better and can even reduce turnover.
Communication can — and should — take a variety of forms, as different messages require the use of different mediums. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Regular Meetings
The value of face-to-face meetings cannot be emphasized enough. It's easy for messages to be misconstrued through digital communication, so being in the same room with your team gets everyone on the same page.
As far as the frequency of these meetings, that's up to you. Quick daily briefings might help a small team with a lot going on stay informed, while weekly meetings could be the better choice for a larger staff. Holding company-wide townhall meetings on a quarterly basis can also be an effective way to get all workers together to share updates pertinent to everyone.
Email Newsletters
Sending a weekly or monthly newsletter to all employees in the company will help them stay in the loop. This is a great format for non-urgent updates that people can read at their leisure. A few examples of content that might be included would be an overview of what each department is working on or a recap of a recent volunteer project completed by a group of employees.
Company Intranet
If you don't already have a company intranet or employee portal, consider building one. This can be a fantastic communication tool, because it allows you to quickly and easily reach every person employed by the organization. You can share a variety of content, from breaking news impacting the business to a calendar that lists company holidays and events. Content can be updated as frequently as you like, giving you the flexibility to share information when needed.
If you need to hire a new employee, PrideStaff Northern Kentucky is here to assist. Contact us today to find the right fit for your temporary, temp-to-hire and direct hire positions!

Gibson Guitars In Trouble ?
ES-335 built in 1963, which was a fabulous instrument, sound and feelwise way
superior to its equivalents nowadays. An Explorer, whose body was slightly
damaged and covered with a rather ugly varnish, therefore was a snip. And a RB-3
banjo which i bought in Clyde Franklin's Bluegrass Center in Asheville, NC and
which i carried across the nation as well as the mountains in Colorado, where
it encountered stark differences in temperatures causing the varnish to crack very
much to my dismay. This should not happen to a pricey instrument, though
otherwise i never heard of any quality issues.
What caused now the rumors lingering about the company ? Four reasons spring
to mind, which are ... guitar sales in general are down, ...to compensate Gibson
ventured out to other business fields, they are rather clueless about and burnt
plenty of money, ... their instruments are too expensive and customers are not
willing to dish out big bucks for the name, while other brands offer similar quality
instruments for a lot less and finally their new designs are hands down horrible
not attracting anybody.
Whatever the reasons are, it would be somewhat upsetting, if this icon of US-
American instrument manufacturing would go out of business.

Protecting sensitive customer data, especially medical and financial information, is an important job and it's one that no business should be taking lightly. That's because today's consumers are well aware of the long term impact of identity theft and other data breaches.
Another reason for taking every precaution against hackers is that the Federal government is also pretty serious about this. Under the terms of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1995, businesses that handle consumer medical data are required to take some very specific steps to protect that data. That means that HIPAA compliance is not something you want to play around with.
So what's the best way of actually getting HIPAA compliant? Unless you're a very large healthcare entity, such as a hospital or insurance company, you'll probably need to hire outside help navigating the maze of HIPAA-oriented regulations.
If this situation sounds familiar to you, here are a few tips for getting your HIPAA consultant search off on the right foot.
Why Getting HIPAA Compliant is Important
No company should need the Federal government to tell them that consumer data protection is a big deal, but all too many require exactly that.
These companies aren't particularly swayed by the fact that identity theft costs American consumers more than billion every year; and that number is growing rapidly. If you, or someone you know, has had their personal information stolen online you know exactly how devastating an experience it can be.
If you follow the news, you also know that big time security lapses can be a financial and public relations disaster for businesses that fail to protect banking and medical information. Target, an American retail store, recently suffered a PR disaster when hackers stole millions of bank account numbers and ATM passwords from their customers.
To help get back in their customers' good graces, Target gave their customers an additional 10% off purchases during the weekend before Christmas. That's a pretty hefty price to pay for lax security, especially over one of the biggest retail weekends of the year.
Finding a Quality Compliance Consultant
The sad thing about Target's story is that it didn't have to happen at all. Getting compliant with network security standards, including HIPAA, is not all that tough. In fact, most large companies like Target have all the resources they need for getting compliant right in their own IT departments.
Smaller companies, however, will probably want to hire out a consultant like SecurityMetrics to help them get to this level of data protection. SecurityMetrics HIPAA compliance services are designed to fit a wide range of budgets and the company stands by its work over the long term.
We strongly suggest that small businesses spend a little extra cash on a service contract to insure that their HIPAA compliance remains up to date in the months and years to come. The last thing you want to do is to lose a civil lawsuit because your HIPAA compliance was not up to date.
HIPAA is a broad and very useful set of regulations that's good for consumers and business owners alike. Business owners who ignore HIPAA do so at their own peril.
