Comprehensive Decommissioning International (CDI) is backed by decades of experience through its corporate parents, Holtec International and SNC-Lavalin.
Holtec clients span the globe; over 115 nuclear plants rely on Holtec's dry storage technology for their storage and transportation needs. Holtec's wet and dry storage and transport systems provide confinement, radiation shielding, structural integrity, criticality control, and heat removal for used nuclear fuel. Holtec remains the world leader in spent nuclear fuel storage technology design and implementation and has supplied over $4 billion of nuclear power plant components since the late 1980s.
SNC-Lavalin (SNCL) brings significant U.S. decommissioning expertise in both commercial and government markets. This expertise includes the baseline planning, license transfer, project delivery through fuel transfer, and reactor segmentation at the Zion station. This team also managed the United Kingdom's fleet of 22 Magnox reactors through operation and into decommissioning. More recently, SNCL has enjoyed success safely progressing cleanup efforts at Fukushima Dai-ichi in Japan, the Ringhals Units 1&2 in Sweden and the Nuclear Power Demonstration (NPD) reactor in Canada.
Vermont Yankee, USA
To support decommissioning of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Plant, Entergy Nuclear signed a contract with Holtec to defuel the Vermont Yankee (VY) spent fuel pool. The overall project scope included construction of a second Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) pad, security expansion, engineering, licensing, manufacturing, delivery and loading of 45 HI-STORM cask systems, all on a turnkey basis.
In just over 3 ½ years from plant shut down, VY's spent fuel pool was completely defueled (i.e., no spent fuel assemblies remain in the pool) setting a new industry benchmark. A total of 2,996 spent fuel assemblies were loaded into the dry storage canisters. The final ISFSI pad now contains a total of 58 HI-STORM systems of which 13 were loaded by VY while the plant was still operating and the remaining 45 casks were loaded after the plant shutdown.
Use of Holtec's patented MPC-68M canister technology, featuring the Metamic-HTTM fuel basket, allowed for NRC approval of loading spent fuel with as little as two years cooling time into dry storage canisters. Safe and early defueling of the spent fuel pool paved the way for decommissioning of the VY plant.
Fukushima Dai-ichi, Japan
At Fukushima, SNCL deployed water treatment technologies, dewatering solutions, and new storage/disposal canisters to support decommissioning. Water being processed consists of sea water used to cool the damaged reactor and ground water that has leaked into the basements of the damaged reactors. The addition of seawater added complexity to the cleanup.
At the time, historic knowledge of radiochemistry had been based on nitrate (fuel reprocessing), not chloride (from sea water). Chloride has a big influence on nuclide speciation. Time sensitive research and testing was conducted in efforts to predict the behavior of nuclides in chloride. Initial emergency responses were highly effective in controlling high radiation dose in water by removing cesium. The liquid waste processing (LWP) systems were modified after numerous laboratory and bench scale testing that focused on creating new media that targeted specific nuclides. The systems have a throughput of greater than 2,100 m3of water per day. These systems are still in operation to date, meeting process requirements including the removal of over 62 nuclides; creating non-detectable levels which are below World Health Organization drinking water standards.
Ringhals Units 1&2, Sweden
Vattenfall and Uniper own the Ringhals sites, located south of Gothenburg in the Varberg Municipality. Vattenfall announced that both Ringhals Units 1; a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR), and 2; a Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR) shall cease operations in 2020 and 2019, following an economic review. Vattenfall commissioned SNCL to undertake an in-depth verification of the current decommissioning baseline and in doing so generate a Cost Estimate Summary Report, supported by a new detailed preliminary schedule that could be evolved into the first fully executable plan for the site. To execute these works, Vattenfall and SNCL entered into a collaborative framework, creating an environment of sharing, challenge and collective knowledge to realize the benefits of site knowledge in combination with global experience. SNCL deployed subject matter experts from both the United Kingdom and United States to deliver this commission.
Zion Nuclear Power Station, USA
Many current Atkins/SNC-Lavalin employees were part of the original team to transition ownership and start the decommissioning of Zion including the General/Project Manager, and executive Management team. Early activities included working with Exelon on the License Transfer Application, a prompt DECON PSDAR, and numerous other licensing activities associated with reconfiguring the security, fire protection, and quality assurance plans. This initial team placed all major procurements for reactor vessel segmentation, rail upgrades, electrical reconfiguration, access to containment, hiring of craft workers, and performed all characterization work.
Big Rock Point Nuclear Power Plant, USA
Consumers Energy awarded one of SNCL's legacy companies (BNFL Inc.) a contract for major component removal at the Big Rock Point restoration project in Charlevoix, Michigan. BNFL's scope included the removal of all primary system components including the reactor vessel and decontamination/demolition of the Radioactive Waste Building and the Alternate Shutdown Building.
Magnox Reactor Fleet, UK
ATK Energy EU Ltd (a United Kingdom subsidiary of SNCL), together with its legacy subsidiaries held the contracts and licenses to operate, defuel, and decommission 22 Magnox nuclear power reactors at 10 geographically dispersed sites (904 acres comprising 1,000 buildings and 10M ft2 of floor space, including reactor buildings, turbine halls, spent fuel storage ponds and handling facilities, waste management facilities, and ancillary buildings/infrastructure). This work was performed on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), a UK Government entity similar to DOE Environmental Management (EM) in mission and purpose.
University of Alberta SLOWPOKE-2 Facility, Canada
Between 2016 and 2018, SNC-Lavalin successfully decommissioned and decontaminated the University of Alberta SLOWPOKE-2 Facility (UASF) located in Edmonton, Alberta. The space occupied by the facility is deemed to be suitable for unrestricted use, and it is expected to be confirmed by the CNSC by revoking the current operating license. The decommissioning activity included concrete blocks removal, the dismantling and removal of the reactor and auxiliary components, removal of contaminated areas from pool floor by intrusive methods and the HEU core and radioactive waste transferred into dedicated containers for shipment to licensed facilities for final storage. The final radiological survey was performed in the reactor pool, the exhaust ventilation system and the facility rooms affected by decommissioning work.
CANDU Reactor Life Extension Projects – Korea, Canada, Argentina
Since 2007, SNC-Lavalin has been successfully refurbishing units in the global CANDU® reactor fleet to extend their useful life. The company has developed and deployed the highly automated remote tooling systems used to remove, volume reduce, and transport the highly radioactive reactor core components. Work also include the design and construction of on-site facilities to safely store the removed reactor core components. When completed, the life of the CANDU reactor is doubled. To date, four units have been refurbished in Ontario, New Brunswick, and Korea. Two projects are currently being executed by SNC Lavalin to refurbish four reactor units in Ontario and one reactor unit in Argentina. SNC-Lavalin was also awarded a further project commitment to refurbish an additional six reactors in Ontario over the next twelve years.
US Government Projects
Through its subsidiaries (including joint venture companies) SNCL has performed over 100 waste cleanup, decommissioning and site remediation projects for the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Defense. SNCL's portfolio contains site management, engineering and services including:
- Decommissioning and site closure plan development

Come, see the Dolphin's anchor forged; 'tis at a white heat now: The billows ceased, the flames decreased; though on the forge's brow The little flames still fitfully play through the sable mound; And fitfully you still may see the grim smiths ranking round, All clad in leathern panoply, their broad hands only bare; Some rest upon their sledges here, some work the windlass there.
As strong, as deep, as wide as is the sea,Though by the wind made restless as the wind,By billows fretted and by rocks confined,So strong, so deep, so wide my love for thee.francis william bourdillon
The pilot cannot mitigate the billows or calm the winds.
The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might: He did his very best to make The billows smooth and bright And this was odd, because it was The middle of the night. 196
To die is landing on some silent shoreWhere billows never break, nor tempests roar;Ere well we feel the friendly stroke, 't is o'er.samuel garth
Distinct as the billows, yet one as the sea.james montgomery
When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean And billows wild contend with angry roar, 'T is said, far down beneath the wild commotion That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore. Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth And silver waves chime ever peacefully, And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it flyeth Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea.harriet beecher stowe
O'er the glad waters of the dark blue sea, Our thoughts as boundless, and our souls as free, Far as the breeze can bear, the billows foam, Survey our empire, and behold our home! These are our realms, no limit to their sway, Our flag the sceptre all who meet obey.lord byron
Strongly it bears us along in swelling and limitless billows, Nothing before and nothing behind but the sky and the ocean.Samuel Taylor Coleridge
The pilot cannot mitigate the billows or calm the winds.Plutarch
It is only the basest writer who cannot speak of the sea without talking of "raging waves," "remorseless floods," "ravenous billows," etc.; and it is one of the signs of the highest power in a writer to check all such habits of thought, and to keep his eyes fixed firmly on the pure fact , out of which if any feeling comes to him or his reader, he knows it must be a true one.john ruskin
Stream of the living world Where dash the billows of strife! One plunge in the mighty torrent Is a year of tamer life! City of glorious days, Of hope, and labour and mirth, With room and to spare, on thy splendid bays For the ships of all the earth!richard watson gilder
To die is landing on some silent shore Where billows never break, nor tempests roar; Ere well we feel the friendly stroke, 't is o'er.
Because its myriad glimmering plumes Like a great army's stir and wave; Because its golden billows blooms, The poor man's barren walks to lave: Because its sun-shaped blossoms show How souls receive the light of God, And unto earth give back that glow I thank him for the Goldenrod.lucy larcom
Distinct as the billows, yet one as the sea.james montgomery
The east is blossoming! Yea, a rose, Vast as the heavens, soft as a kiss, Sweet as the presence of woman is, Rises and reaches, and widens and grows Large and luminous up from the sea, And out of the sea, as a blossoming tree, Richer and richer, so higher and higher, Deeper and deeper it takes its hue; Brighter and brighter it reaches through The space of heaven and the place of stars, Till all is as rich as a rose can be, And my rose-leaves fall into billows of fire.joaquin miller
Where tempests never beat nor billows roar.william cowper
Where billows never break, nor tempests roar.samuel garth
Lightnings, that show the vast and foaming deep, The rending thunders, as they onward roll, The loud, loud winds, that o'er the billows sweep Shake the firm nerve, appal the bravest soul!
And Potomac flowed calmly, scarce heaving her breast, With her low-lying billows all bright in the west, For a charm as from God lulled the waters to rest Of the fair rolling river.paul hamilton hayne
O, it is monstrous, monstrous! Methought the billows spoke, and told me of it; The winds did sing it to me; and the thunder, That deep and dreadful organ-pipe, pronounc'd The name of Prospero; it did bass my trespass. Therefore my son i' the ooze is bedded; and, I'll seek him deeper than e'er plummet sounded, And with him there lie mudded.
The Scythians take kannabis seed, creep in under the felts, and throw it on the red-hot stones. It smolders and sends up such billows of steam-smoke that no Greek vapor bath can surpass it. The Scythians howl with joy in these vapor-baths, which serve them instead of bathing, for they never wash their bodies with water.

Q54: Is there sufficient insulation installed in the attic?
When you peek into the attic space insulation is going to be a major factor to think about. Insulation is rated by it's R-value. In other words, the R-Value is the measure of the insulation's ability to resist heat flow- the higher the R-Value, the better the "thermal performance" of the insulation – you're trying to keep that warm air INSIDE the house in the cold winter months and hot attic air from transferring to the lower floors during the heat of summer. In most attics, the R-Value should be about R-38 which translates to about 10-14 inches of insulation depending on the type of material.
If there is no insulation or minimal insulation in the attic, you're going to want to take the cost to insulate the space into consideration if you decide that this is the house for you. Take the basic square footage of the attic space and make a stop at your local home improvement store to calculate an estimate of the cost. Once you've estimated the cost, talk to both your professional Home Inspector and Realtor to decide how to make the accommodation for your offer.
Q55: Is there adequate ventilation? Is there a clear path for the air to circulate through soffit vents and gable ends?
It may seem a bit strange that just a moment ago you were asked to look at how much insulation was in the attic in order to keep warmth in the right places AND NOW you're being asked to see if there is air flow (yes, and sometimes it may be OLD air) in the attic.
Here's the explanation to alleviate the confusion: In the winter, having some cold air flowing through rafter vents and soffits allows the air to remain cooler which in turn inhibits the freezing and thawing affect that could cause ice damming in the gutters and as a result, damage to the roof if there was warm air floating around the space. In the hot summer, the flow of the hot air actually protects the roof shingles and removes moisture while also preventing transfer of the heat to the home below.
When you're inspecting the attic, make sure you can see the light from those soffit vents – if you can't, then the insulation is probably right up to the roof trusses. If you noticed any other issues on the outside of the house (curled shingles, rotting soffits on the house eaves, etc) you will need to discuss the entire issue with the professional Home Inspector. If you feel the attic only requires additional insulation, then get a recommendation for a contractor and/or make a is it to your local home improvement store – but always make proper ventilation in the attic space a consideration in your decision before you put a purchase offer in.
Q56: Do exhaust or appliance vents fully exit the attic?
Once you're IN the attic, you want to notice if the bathroom vent actually goes straight up through the attic and out of the house. If the bathroom fan vents only INTO the attic, you have a problem waiting to happen. The bathroom air is moist and will eventually cause condensation and eventually mold in the attic, within the insulation, the roof trusses and even cause problems for the roof decking.
You absolutely will want to correct any issue you might see here because it could lead to something more. Additionally, if you decided you were going to put forth a purchase offer on this property, inquire with your professional Home Inspector concerning what you spotted.
Q57: Are all electrical wires secured so they do not present a hazard (no hanging splices)?
While we don't claim to be electricians, we can tell you that when electrical wires are spliced, they require special handling to avoid problems. So what is a splice? A wire splice is where two wires are connected together. Usually a wire "nut" is used to ensure that the connection enables constant flow of the electricity – however, those wire nuts and splices are supposed to be placed inside of a covered box so that IF they become overloaded or loose, they don't get heated or spark causing a fire.
This is a job that should be addressed by a licensed electrician as quickly as possible. Don't be surprised if your professional Home Inspector recommends that you make correction of this issue a condition of the final purchase – at the very least, talk to your Realtor about the best way to handle this issue if this is the property you decide to call home.

Into The Community
Matthew 5:16
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
We serve a God who asks us to love others as He loves us (John 5:12) and who has given us a heart for our community. Each of these ministries has developed in response to a need that we have seen in our community, be it for those who have financial or health issues (Food Bank, Torbay Medical Fund, Bays Community Housing Trust) or for those who do not have family or community connections close by (Plunket Meals for New Mums, International Coffee Group). And sometimes we just want to welcome them over to 'our place' to have some fun (International Evening)!
We have been running a food bank for many years and it's a great way to help meet some of the need in our community. Requests for help mainly come through the Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB) or sometimes through other agencies or through our pastors. The request is passed on to one our volunteers, who then put together a package to suit the individual or family in need, and delivers it to them.
We also collect leftover fresh bread, meat pies and baked goods from local stores who kindly donate them to charity.
How can I get a food parcel?
How can I suport the food bank?

How can I become a housing trust tenant?
The Trust also has two houses for older women in Northcote. The criteria for entry is to be a woman over 65, with minimal assets and prepared to live with four others. To enter the waiting list email email@example.com.
How can I support this ministry?
Include the Trust in your will.
Offer to help with property maintenance, gardening, painting, carpentry, etc.
International Coffee Group
Time: 10.15 – 12pm
Where: Torbay Senior Citizens Hall
Cost: Free (donations welcome)
This group provides those who are new to the area, or perhaps recently retired, an opportunity to meet new people and to learn about the area. It is also a safe space for people with English as a second language to practice chatting in English.
The group meets year-round, except for the two weeks over Christmas and New Year. They meet in the Torbay Senior Citizens Hall, which is next to the Torbay Tennis Club.
How can I support this ministry?
International Night
Day: NOT RUNNING IN 2019
Start: 6.30pm
Where: Long Bay Baptist Church
Cost: FREE
Each year groups within the church pick a country to represent and strive to prepare authentic dishes from that country. Usually there are 10+ countries represented and it is fun evening full of food, colour and conversation. A wonderful opportunity for us to welcome the community in on what is usually a cold, wet, winter's night.
The food is free and followed by a variety show at around 7.30pm, where church members and a few guests get to show off some of their skills.
For any further information or queries contact Carole McMinn (473-3259).
Plunket Meals for New Mums
The meals are prepared by volunteers from Long Bay Baptist and Nadja Court's team from Barfoot & Thompson Mairangi Bay. Delivery is then overseen by the Torbay Plunket nurse.
How can I support this ministry?
Torbay Medical Fund
The fund is administered by the practice manager at Torbay Medical and is contributed to by some regular donations from members of Long Bay Baptist.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Monday re-arraigned Col. Nicholas Ashinze, a former Special Assistant to the embattled ex-National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki and eight others on 13 counts of money laundering involving the sum of N1.84bn.
The anti-graft agency re-arraigned the defendants before Justice Babatunde Quadri on Monday following the earlier withdrawal of the former trial judge, Justice Gabriel Kolawole, from the case.
Others, who were re-arraigned alongside Ashinze on Monday, included an Austrian and Managing Director of Geonel Integrated Services Limited, Mr Wolfgang Reinl; a lawyer, Mr Edidiong Idiong; and Lt.-Col. Sagir D. Mohammed (retd.).
The rest of the defendants were companies. They were, Geonel Integrated Services Limited, Unity Continental Nigeria Limited, Helpline Organisation, Vibrant Resource Limited and Sologic Integrated Services Limited.
The EFCC, through its prosecuting counsel, Mr Ofem Ukett, had accused the defendants of various money laundering offences involving the alleged transfer and taking possession of a total of N1,840,000,000, which it described as proceeds of unlawful acts.
The commission in Count 1 accused all the defendants of conspiracy to commit money laundering offences contrary to Section 18 (a) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011, and punishable under Section 15 (3) and (4) of the same law.
It alleged in counts 2 to 7 that Ashinze; the Austrian, Reinl and Reinl's Geonel Integrated Services Limited corruptly transferred various sums of money, totalling N1.84bn to Idiong, Mohammed, Sologic Integrated Services Limited, Vibrant Resource Limited and Helpline Organisation.
The anti-graft agency claimed that the transfer of the funds on April 22, 23, 24 and May 5, 2014, which allegedly formed parts of "proceeds of unlawful acts" violated the provisions of section 15(2)(b) of Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act and punishable under section 15(3) and (4) of the same law.
The prosecution, in counts 8 to 13, accused Idiong, Mohammed, Sologic Integrated Services Limited, Vibrant Resource Limited and Helpline Organisation of "taking possession" of the various sums of money totalling N1.84bn when they "reasonably ought to know" that the funds were proceeds of "unlawful acts".

| Water/Fluoridation
(mass poisoning, third rail topic)
|Interest of
|• Christopher Bryson
• Dean Burk
• David Grimes
|Marketed as an anti-tooth decay improvement, there is increasing evidence that the fluoridation of water may have a range of deleterious effects upon the brain (e.g. lowering IQ) and may actually not have much affect on tooth decay.
The fluoridation of drinking water is by no means as uncontroversial as the official narrative would have people believe.
Official narrative
A simple echoing of the official narrative on water fluoridation is provided by a 2013 article by David Grimes in which he praises the practice unreservedly, stating that fluoride in drinking water is safe and effective at preventing dental caries and that the practice "is one of the few health interventions that saves much more money than it costs" and that "it's easy to dismantle the arguments of anti-fluoridation campaigners". He quotes the Centres for Disease Control that "reviews provide compelling evidence that community water fluoridation is a safe and effective method for reducing tooth decay across all ages".[1]
As of 2017, although efforts continue to expand Fluoridation in some countries like New Zealand[2] and Israel,[3] others (e.g.Scotland)[4] are in the process of questioning its suitability and safety.
|A video by James Corbett
The first water fluoridation project was carried out in 1945 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
Many governments now put fluoride in drinking water, and the academic community was for a long time extremely hostile to anyone who challenged this practice.
Extensive research on the history of water fluoridation was done with the book 'The Fluoride Deception' by Christopher Bryson.[5] Fluoride in drinking water has been shown to be strongly correlated with later ADHD prevalence, and high levels of fluoride are correlated with fluorosis and lower IQ.[6][7] Some areas in China have a high natural level of fluoride, leading to research aiming to find how much to reduce fluoride concentration to make it safe enough to drink.
Dumbing down
In 2014, The Lancet published a paper which mentioned that "A meta-analysis of 27 cross-sectional studies of children exposed to fluoride in drinking water, mainly from China, suggests an average IQ decrement of about seven points in children exposed to raised fluoride concentrations."[8].
A 2019 paper found that fluoride exposure in utero decreased the IQ of boys.[9] As of August 2019, a total of 69 studies have investigated the relationship between fluoride and human intelligence. Of these investigations, 61 found that fluoride was associated with decreased IQ.[10]
Fluoride can induce inflammation and damage in rat brains, especially within the hippocampus.[11]
Pineal gland
Fluoride can exert a deleterious effect on the pineal gland, affecting melatonin production, sleep and childhood development.[12][13]
"High fluoride exposure (markedly greater than in the water supply) has been associated with hypothyroidism, especially in the setting of iodine deficiency."[14]
In 2005, a study conducted at the Harvard School of Dental Health found that fluoride in tap water directly contributed to causing bone cancer in young boys.[15]
Reversal of fluoridation
In 2019 a 1971 policy of fluoridation was reversed in an Iowa town.[16][15]

|Dean Burk
|"In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer deaths than any other chemical. When you have power you don't have to tell the truth. That's a rule that's been working in this world for generations. There are a great many people who don't tell the truth when they are in power in administrative positions. Fluoride amounts to public murder on a grand scale. It is some of the most conclusive scientific and biological evidence that I have come across in my 50 years in the field of cancer research."

Bryson draws on many interviews with scientists, and archival research in places such as the newly opened files of the Manhattan Project and the Atomic Energy Commission. The book reveals how and why water was ever fluoridated, and some of the dangers of this practice."

Borussia Dortmund make Paco Alcacer permanent, to pay Barcelona up to €28M
Borussia Dortmund have exercised their option to sign on-loan striker Paco Alcacer permanently from Barcelona for a fee totalling €28 million, the La Liga leaders said in a statement on Friday.
The Spain forward, aged 25, has scored 12 goals for the Bundesliga leaders since leaving Barca on a loan deal last August. He is the joint second most prolific striker in the German top flight despite only starting five games, routinely netting after coming off the bench.
A statement from Barca said Dortmund would pay them €23 million plus a further €5 million in variable payments, and that the Catalans would receive 5 percent of the transfer fee should Dortmund sell the player in the future.
"The club would like to publicly express its gratitude to Paco Alcacer for his commitment and dedication and wish him luck and success in the future," added the statement.

What Does Gum Disease Have to do With Dementia?
It is estimated that 5.7 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer's disease in 2018, and the question of whether it can be prevented routinely fuels new research.
September is World Alzheimer's Month, and Sept. 21 is World Alzheimer's Day. In honor of these health observations, we're sharing information on an Alzheimer's connection that is near and dear to us here at the Lanap & Implant Center of Pennsylvania: gum disease and dementia.
In 2017, research out of Taiwan identified an association between periodontitis and increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Chronic periodontitis is inflammation of your gum tissues caused by large amounts of dental plaque accumulation. Over time, it destroys the gum tissue and bone that secures your teeth in place.
A team from Chung Shan Medical University in Taichung City looked at data on patients who were age 50 or older with chronic periodontitis. Although they found no overall connection between periodontitis and Alzheimer's, they found that people who had periodontitis for a decade or longer "were 70 percent more likely than people without periodontitis to develop Alzheimer's disease," Reuters reported.
Even after researchers adjusting for other factors such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes and urban environment that might influence Alzheimer's development, the link between long-term periodontitis and the degenerative brain disease remained, according to the Reuters article.
"This information sheds light on the importance of identifying gum disease in its earliest stages and getting it under control," Dr. David DiGiallorenzo says.
The first stage of gum disease – gingivitis – is reversible simply by maintaining a good home oral care routine and getting your teeth professionally cleaned at your dentist's or periodontist's office at least twice annually.
"Once you have periodontitis, it has irreversibly harmed your bone and connective tissue," says Dr. Henry Hsu. "However, it can be managed successfully, and we have a variety of treatment options to help you preserve your remaining healthy gum tissue and save your teeth."
The final stage of periodontal disease is advanced periodontitis. At this point, the fibers and bone that support your teeth are destroyed, which can cause teeth to shift or loosen, according to Colgate.com.
Treating Gum Disease
An effective way of treating gum disease is with the LANAP procedure. The acronym stands for "laser-assisted new attachment procedure," and it requires no cutting, no sutures, and it is virtually painless.
Dr. DiGiallorenzo and Dr. Hsu use the laser to target and remove the diseased tissue and avoid harming healthy tissue. The laser eliminates the harmful toxins that destroy gum tissue and bone, and then forms a clot to promote new attachment of the gum to a tooth's root surfaces.
Schedule an Appointment
Do all you can to help keep your gums – and, in turn, your brain – healthy by getting a periodontal checkup. Please call our office to schedule a consultation to learn more about our methods of treating gum disease.
About World Alzheimer's Month
Alzheimer's Disease International launched World Alzheimer's Month in 2012 to increase awareness and challenge the stigma that surrounds dementia. In addition to September being recognized as World Alzheimer's Month, World Alzheimer's Day is observed on Sept. 21 each year.

Many business owners neglect to embrace the power of social media advertising because they feel that their organic efforts (which don't cost a cent) will be enough to garner a positive response from their target audience. However, while a company's organic efforts are just as important as any forms of paid advertising, in the long run, they can only do so much. Social media advertising opens up a number of doors in the form of increased reach, visibility, brand recognition, sales and new followers. Below, we break down the ways in which social media advertising on different platforms can help your online business to reach its full potential.
Facebook Advertising
Facebook is definitely one of the most popular choices for social media advertising – this is probably due to its easy-to-navigate interface and reasonable cost. Along with this, Facebook also makes it effortless for you to get very specific about the type of people who you wish to target. You can target according to location, age range, gender and interests, thus making it simple to ensure that your budget is spent wisely and that ads are seen by those who are most likely to be interested in what your brand has to offer.
LinkedIn Advertising
LinkedIn is a much more professional platform when compared to Facebook and Twitter, and it is because of this fact that the cost to advertise is also much more exorbitant. Luckily, like Facebook, it allows for specific targeting and offers you access to a handy Lead Collection Tool.
Twitter Advertising
Twitter advertising is also affordable, probably even more so than Facebook, and the ads are simple to set up, thus making it possible for you to get them up and running pretty much immediately. Just keep in mind, however, that targeting options are slightly more limited than those offered by social media platforms.
Ultimately, social media advertising helps your online business in the following ways:
- It makes it possible for you to reach a larger number of potential customers.
- It allows you to target specific types of people, thus increasing your chances of expanding your following and improving your sales.
- It allows you to ensure increased brand recognition – because even if some of the targeted people do not respond to the ad itself, they will still be exposed to your brand.
- It helps to draw more traffic to your website.
- It is much more affordable than many other 'conventional' marketing methods, yet still provides similar – if not better – results overall.
Now that you understand the importance of social media advertising, don't forget to ensure that you provide your potential customers with everything that they need in order to feel safe when making a purchase via your online store. You can do this with the help of a reliable payment gateway like PayU. Our payment systems have been designed to process online payments safely and securely, ensuring that no third party is able to access the client's personal or financial information during the transaction.

This is an easy tutorial on how to bleach your jeans to get that vicious bleached camo look that punks and skinheads often wear. Perfect for a night of aggro or just a trip down the pub.
Take your bucket and fill it with bleach.
Take your jeans and ball them up into a very tight compact ball. Tie them up with something so they stya in a tight ball. Submerge your jeans in the bucket for three to five hours. You could also tie the ball up with some string and just dunk it in if you like. The longer you let them sit under the water/bleach solution the lighter the bleached spots will be.
Remove your jeans and rinse them off well with cold water. Let them dry and then wash them. Now you should have some very sharp looking jeans.

Why Deutsche Bank's little jewel in India was spared the ax
[DELHI] Deutsche Bank AG, which announced last week it's pulling out of 10 countries around the world to revive profits, left a nation off the chopping block: India.
Unusually, the German investment bank and private-wealth manager gives loans to corporate borrowers as well as consumers from 17 retail bank branches in India - the only country outside Europe where it operates branches. Equally unusually, Deutsche Bank in India has managed to avoid the bad-loan problems plaguing its rivals such as Standard Chartered Plc. Instead, Deutsche Bank's unit almost doubled its annual profit in the year through March and has the lowest bad-loan ratio of the five largest foreign banks operating in India, the latest filings to the central bank show.
"Deutsche have developed a very healthy loan book here by focusing on corporate banking," said Ashvin Parekh, managing partner at Mumbai-based financial advisory firm APAS LLP. "Their performance in India is better compared to many other markets. This is one of the reasons for the strategic decision to continue with the India operations." Foreign bank units in India are only required to report results once a year, so no comparable numbers are available for the global figures that Deutsche Bank reported last week for the quarter that ended in September. If the Indian unit's performance continues for the rest of this year, it would be a shining light for a bank that announced its largest quarterly loss in at least a decade.
To lift profitability, Co-Chief Executive Officer John Cryan said the company would pull out of businesses in 10 countries from Argentina to New Zealand and shrink headcount by about a quarter.
While India was spared, it's possible some reductions may take place. Russia also wasn't on the list of 10 nations, though the bank is closing its investment banking and trading there as it grapples with a probe into suspected money laundering. In India, the bank sold its asset-management unit to Prudential Financial Inc. in August to focus on core businesses.
Deutsche Bank has avoided some of the problems faced by its rivals in India by focusing on loans with maturities shorter than six months, which helped shelter assets from the sluggish economic cycle, Avinash Prabhu, chief financial officer of the Indian business, said in an Aug 20 interview. That also helped the unit avoid typically longer-term loans to build infrastructure, where the industry is plagued by bureaucratic delays and late payments from government agencies.
His unit's gross bad-loan ratio stood at 0.33 per cent as of March, less than a 10th of the Indian banking system's 4.61 per cent at the time. The firm's Indian lending increased fourfold in the seven years through March to 361 billion rupees (S$7.7 billion), while profit was 14 billion rupees, filings show. About 90 per cent of that lending is corporate, while 10 per cent is to retail clients, the data show. "As we chose to lend prudently to the right companies in the right sectors, our asset quality held up well," Mr Prabhu said.
A Mumbai-based spokesman for Deutsche Bank declined further comment.
Deutsche Bank started its India operations in 1980 and now has more than 11,000 employees in businesses including retail and wholesale banking, investment-banking advisory and wealth- management services.

Or a property from him or live in his state? Remember Iskandar is named after his dad.
In Malaysia, the Johor royal family is infamous for ruling with an iron fist and is the only one of the nine royal families that controls its own army.
Malaysian media outlets claim that before he was sultan Ibrahim shot a man dead in a nightclub in the 1980s but charges were not laid because of royal immunity laws.
The immunity laws were changed in 1993 after a series of controversies surrounding Ibrahim's late father, Iskandar. Dubbed the "Killer King", Iskandar allegedly beat a golf caddie to death and maimed his brother after the caddie laughed at him for missing a shot in 1987.
During Malaysian parliament in 1993, politician Shahidan Kassim alleged that Ibrahim had also committed a number of crimes including raping a woman in 1990 at a disco. Shahidan also said Ibrahim had punched a taxi driver and kicked a policeman in his genitalia in an incident in 1986. Ibrahim was also accused by Shahidan of striking a judge in a mosque in 1991 for mispronouncing his father's name and kicking an assemblyman the same year.
At least six individuals have been arrested since December for insulting the Sultan via social media. A 19-year-old was this week sentenced to a year in jail for insulting the Sultan.
Whatever, someone living in Perth really hates him.

Nine years ago, when Michael Phelps charged home in the finals of the 400 IM at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, most of us knew we were witnessing greatness. It didn't take a brain surgeon to realize that performance would go down as one of history's all-time great swims. Phelps was beginning his quest for 8 Olympic golds; the 400 IM was the all-important first swim, the swim that established momentum and gave insight into how stellar that week would go. He did not disappoint, blasting a world-record time that was unfathomable at the time, and may not be challenged for a long, long while. As Phelps swam under the final flags, I remember thinking, "That's the swim of a lifetime."
The swim of a lifetime is a pursuit of perfection. It is a perfect dive. A perfect pacing strategy. A perfect finish. I believe this quest for perfection is often what keeps the great ones chasing their own concept of greatness. With so many tiny, little details that can escape even the greatest swimmers, a perfect race is the Holy Grail for swimmers. Phelps' 400 IM in Beijing, I believe, was as close to a perfect race as he ever swam.
This Sunday, Katie Ledecky will dive into the water for the first swim of the 2017 World Championships with that same opportunity that Phelps had in 2008. She has an opportunity to not only dominate yet another international championship, but to drop even more time off her incredible lifetime bests and establish unconquerable world records that may last years, decades, a generation, or longer.
She's already defied explanation and rewritten the definition of "perfection." The question isn't if. She has. The question now is, fast-forwarding twenty years into the future, which race will be judged by history as being her most jaw-dropping? Which legendary Ledecky performance will go down in history as being her perfect race? The 800? The 1500?
Or will it be the 400?
When considering the most difficult of events to dominate, the 400-meter distance is likely the hardest. Part sprint, part distance, it requires a multitude of physical and mental abilities. The 400-meter distance has long been the indicator, in my opinion, of the world's best all-around swimmers. With Phelps, a number of races and performances could arguably be his perfect race. And yet, I keep coming back to his 400 IM in Beijing as the race he'll be remembered for. It was the race when he was in his best shape, the first race on the Olympic event schedule, and an event in which he is uniquely gifted. And that 400 IM will be, I believe, the one world record that will last the longest.
Which is why I believe this Sunday's 400-meter freestyle is the Can't Miss Race of the World Championships. Katie Ledecky could very well do the same thing Phelps did in 2008: She could blast a world-record time that may not be broken for years, decades, or longer. She will have fresh legs, a fresh mind, and she is uniquely situated to dominate this event in the same way Phelps dominated the 400 IM.
At this point, after accomplishing virtually everything there is to accomplish in the sport, it is not about chasing competitors, but chasing one's self and one's own definition of perfection. The age-old pursuit of a personal best time, in Ledecky's case, also could be perfection.
How low can Ledecky go? Have we already seen how fast Ledecky can swim, or could we witness a 3:55 400 freestyle or — gulp — even lower?
Only time will tell.
