Heather, Dental Assistant
Having been a part of our team since 2012, Heather says one of the best things about working in pediatric dental care is just being with the children every day and listening to what they have to say. She's been working in the dental health industry for almost 20 years and holds a degree in advertising/marketing from Ashford University.
You'll most likely find Heather helping the doctors take care of patients, sterilizing the rooms and dental instruments, and handling some of our marketing efforts.

Watch the DIY Feature 'Children of Invention' Free on Hulu (For a Limited Time)
Tze Chun's feature Children of Invention was the subject of a No Film School interview, and the film's much-talked-about D.I.Y. distribution has now landed it on Hulu for the next two months. Hit the full-screen button and kick back to the indie film Variety deemed "austerely poetic":
As with most Hulu content, this is only available in a handful of countries (namely, the United States).

Hulu needs to buy a stronger internet transmitter. They will never succeed on the internet if they can't broadcast a signal that's strong enough to reach other countries.
Regionalism is stupid.
(I don't even know what Hulu is. Is it like Spotify? ;-) Is it like TV, but with commercials and no DVR option?)

The internet doesn't work like radio does.
When something is one the internet it is available to any one connected, distance doesn't really matter. At least in theory...
Companies and governments decide what is available to different regions on the internet. Hulu for example disables much of its content for other countries, both licensing and piracy issues. It's much more expensive to purchase international licenses for US content than it is to only show that content within North America.
Also many governments restrict the web content that comes into their country. China and Tibet for example.
And I am sure Hulu is doing just fine with it's current business model.

Pragya Thakur, a lady who defeated former chief minister of Madhya Pradesh Digvijaya Singh and who is one of the accused in the Malegaon blast, has again made news. She said Nathuram Vinayak Godse, the killer of Mahatma Gandhi, is a Deshbakt or patriot. Rahul Gandhi has said in parliament that it reflects the heart and soul of the saffron party and the RSS. That could be true. A debate on her unnecessary remark has boiled down to a mass discussion on the role played by our leaders in what can be called our freedom struggle at a time when the BJP is finding that its attempts to win the elections and its way of winning the call to form a government has failed; Amit Shah has ended up with egg on his face. Pragya has had to apologise in parliament on Friday. She said she respects Mahatma Gandhi's contribution to the nation and claimed that her remarks were twisted.
Nobody takes her apology seriously. She will say the same thing again. There is no way of silencing her opinion. The prime minister had disapproved her remarks earlier and warned her of action against her. Now she has been barred from the position she was given as a member of the defense committee.
The issue is what role the party led by Mahatma Gandhi and others played till 1947 when the country was divided into two; India and Pakistan, and the role of the communists and the RSS and the British. The BJP's Vajpayee's role has been reported; I have commented on it quoting Subramanian Swamy's words on it. The role by all four is not laudable; all four have adopted double standards. The British for example, decided to leave India by 1948 and Mountbatten had to meet the target set by British prime minister Clement Atlee. The Congress contrary to Mahatma Gandhi's will, decided to back Jinnah's demand for a separate nation for Muslims. The Communists supported Jinnah. The Congress later did the same and the RSS did not participate in any freedom movement but backed the British and opposed Jinnah. The British was in dire straits after the world war, and they had to quit. That is what now we call the freedom struggle resulted in.
Gandhi and Nehru were poles apart, as far as governing the country was concerned. Nehru appointed Dr. Ambedkar as his man to write the constitution. Ambedkar and Gandhi never agreed on anything. Gandhi was on a hunger strike against the move to give Harijans reservation and he almost died. No wonder Gandhi abstained from India's Independence Day celebrations.
In this context the BJP, the Congress and the Communists are deliberately misrepresenting the facts. They praise for Gandhi, the murdered Gandhi. They lose no words for praising him and deliberately proceed in actions which are often against his idea.
The role of the Shiv Sena which had supported Nathuram Godse and for 30 years was an ally of the BJP now joining hands with the Congress and the NCP may appear strange to people . But that is what the Shiv Sena has done since its formation. First it was against the communists then it turned against south Indians, then against Muslims and north Indians and later sided with the BJP all for power and pelf. Now they are with the Congress and for secularism. The aim is power, something that no politician can abandon. They may have to adopt stands which may seem to be quite different from their stand last week. In this game the BJP, the Congress, the Communists are all the same. Today they might say something bizarre to the masses and they would defend their policy with words that ordinary people won't understand.
The same thing can be said about parties like Muslim League, Kerala Congress and Telugu Desam and Nitish Kumar's JDU. The least said the better about them. In today's politics there is no saying which way Nitish Kumar will go when the situation demands. He may tie up with Laloo Prasad as he has done before and the Congress will play second fiddle to it. Ditto can be said about other political parties especially Mayawati's BSP. In short, a few MLA's posts or MP's posts are what matter, nothing else. We, the voters are fools. But fools too understand politics.
The game or joke will continue. There will be more Pragyas and there will be more pontifications or political ambitions of people. But what will happen to the BJP and the Congress. Next elections will show. Chattisgarh elections are due shortly. In West Bengal, the BJP was routed by Mamata Bannerjee's Trinamool Congress.
The political games that parties play are truly intriguing.

Moment of Silence…Prayers tonight 1/17/2008…8 pm CST, 9 pm Eastern January 17, 2008
10 Responses to "Moment of Silence…Prayers tonight 1/17/2008…8 pm CST, 9 pm Eastern"
My dear Mahatmas,
When a time as this one comes, it is very difficult to express how to cope with such circumstances. My heart goes out to the lost ones, and my prayers to their Shudhatmas. To all those affected- families and friends- may our arms and ears be open forever to provide you the comfort in these rough times. Please let us Mahatmas be your family, and come to us for anything. You and your loved ones are in our thoughts and prayers always.
Hai Dadaji,
Sauv Jivo na Shudhatma ne amara Youth taraf thi, namaskar. Amari khubh bhavana ke sauv jiv ne sukh ane shaanti male. Mahatma na Families ane Friends ne kubh shakti apo aa time ma.
Jai Satchitanand!
Jai Satchitanand Mahatmas,
My heart and prayers go out to all individuals affected by this unthinkable tradegy and to the Shudhatmas that have moved on. Hai Dadaji, please be with their families and give them strength to deal with this most tragic event. Ease their pain and help them to accept the outcome of this horrible tragedy.
Jai Satchitanand,
Jai Satchitanand,
It is always very difficult deal with situations like these. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who have been hurt by this horrible tragedy as well as those souls that have proceeded towards Moksh. Dadaji, please give them all the strength and understanding needed to endure the adversity that lies ahead.
Jai Satchitanand.
This is very difficult news to swallow for file number one –Dimple. Nonetheless, I would like to humbly pray that:
Hai Pragat Shudhaatma Bhagwan,
May the mahatmas who passed on attain moksha and forever experience anant sukh of shudhaatma's presence. Badhane mara vinay purvak namaskar chhe.
May the surviving family be graced by Kanudadaji's aseem krupa and blessings with the vision to be able to cope with this difficult time in their life. My condolences to the families.
Jai Satchitanand.
Dada Bhagwan Na Aseem Jai Jai Kar Ho!
It is sad to hear about the lives that were lost in this tragic accident. May those that have passed find peace and those that are affected, including many of our fellow Mahatmas, gain strength to cope in this terrible time. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
Please join us and the families in a moment of silence at 8 PM (Central Time).
Jai Sachchidanand Dear Mahatmas,
Past 32 hours have been extremely difficult for Chetan to deal with. I am still having hard time accepting the loss of my cousin brothers and sisters. I still want to believe that nothing has happened. Dadaji please give our family strength to deal with this devastating tragedy and give us strength to pray for those who have left us very tragically. My sincere prayers go out to those who were and are near and dear to my heart. I thank all the Mahatmas for their support and prayers.
Jasi Schchidanand
All JSS Youth,
I would like to thank all Mahatmas for their support and prayers. Falu's family and mine are both long time Mahatmas and appreciate your efforts during this tough time. Falu was my bhabi (my first cousin, Ritesh's wife) and I have been with them for the last four days and have seen first hand the power of our Dada's gnan and how it can bring light during a time of despair.
Amit Jayant Patel & Amar Jayant Patel
(Los Angeles and Amit, now Mumbai)
To All of the JSS Youth,
I was was extremely devastated to hear the tragic new and realize how very difficult it is to cope with such circumstances and stay within the agnas. I just want to let the family of the lost ones' know that my family and 1 have been praying for the Shuddhatma of those lost ones' and I wished to express my condolences on behalf of the rest of my immediate family. Jai Sachidanad.
– Raj
These tragedies remind us of the tremendous value of our human life and how quickly it can be taken from us. On behalf of the Mulji Family, may the Mahatmas, families and friends who have been impacted as well those that have passed their mortal frames find wisdom, peace, solace, serenity and unity in these difficult times. May Dada Bhagavan and His aseem krupa be with them all illuminating their paths and tenderly keeping them protected and able to withstand the daggers in the heart in the soft, tender, loving cushion of His pure love and compassion that IS with us all despite His mortal frame being absent.
Jai Sat-Chitta-Anand.

Overnight cultures were subcultured into fresh LB medium at a ratio of 1:100, grown under the same conditions for three hours, and then supplemented with 5 μM 3-oxo-Cn-HSL, respectively. Following an 8 h incubation at 30°C, cells grown in LB with various acyl-HSLs were harvested by centrifugation, resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline, and then diluted with 200 μl of phosphate-buffered saline. Green
fluorescence of the reporter strains was measured using a Varioskan TM microtiter plate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific), with an excitation wavelength Smoothened Agonist clinical trial of 490 nm and emission detection at 510 nm. Data are means ± standard deviations for three independent experiments. The LasR inhibitor, Patulin was selleck kinase inhibitor obtained from Wako-Pure Chemicals Ltd. (Osaka, Japan) [8]. The MexAB-OprM specific inhibitor, ABI ([[2-([((3R)-1-8-[(4-tert-butyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl) amino]carbonyl-4-oxo-3-[(E)-2-(1 H-tetrazol-5-yl)vinyl]-4 H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-2-yl piperidin-3-yl)oxy]carbonylamino)ethyl](dimethyl)ammonio]acetate, check details C31H39N11O6S·6H2O) was obtained from Daiichi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) [44]. Elastase assay by using FRET-AGLA The elastase activity in a P. aeruginosa culture supernatant
was determined by using FRET-AGLA (see Additional file 3). Cells were grown under the same conditions as the lasB reporter assay. Cells grown in LB with various acyl-HSLs were harvested by centrifugation, and culture supernatants were recovered and filtered (0.22 μm pore-size filter). 50 μl samples diluted 50-fold were added to tubes containing 100 μl of a FRET-AGLA solution (50 mM Tris–HCl, 200 mM NaCl (pH 7.5), 10 mM CaCl2, 0.4 mM FRET-AGLA). The tubes were incubated for 15 min at 30°C and then 50 μl of 1 M NaOH was added. The degradation products Clostridium perfringens alpha toxin of FRET-AGLA produced by elastase were measured using the Varioskan TM microtiter plate reader with
an excitation wavelength of 355 nm and emission detection at 460 nm. The resolution rate of the degradation products of FRET-AGLA was determined by extrapolating the obtained fluorescence of the degradation products of FRET-AGLA on a standard curve. Cross-streaking experiments The monitor strains, KG7004(pMQG003) or KG7050(pMQG003), and the respective test strains were streaked close to each other on nutrient agar plates (Nissui, Tokyo, Japan) (see 3). Following 24 h incubation at 30°C, the plates were illuminated with blue light using an SZX-FGFP filter in combination with a halogen lamp as a light source, and green fluorescence was observed under a Stereomicroscope SZX12 system (Olympus).

A new app in Columbia County schools encourages generosity in times of tragedy
Sunday, March 31, 2019
News 12 @ 11
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) -- It's a heartbreaking story we hear all too often.
"This family was at the school when the house fire started," Belinda Lee-Scott, a Columbia County school social worker said. "They got a phone call from a neighbor stating that their house was on fire."
A family is left empty-handed to pick up the pieces and start from scratch.
"By the time they got there they had lost totally everything," Lee-Scott said.
It's also a sight Mohra Hill-Smith sees daily on the job as a homeless liaison for the school district.
"We have many families who are in need in the community and then crises happen," Mohra Hill-Smith said.
But in a community where people step up in times of tragedy, Mohra says something's been missing.
"There's such a pervasive spirit of giving in Columbia County and the community wants to help," Hill-Smith said.
That's where a new app comes in: Purposity.
All you have to do is log on to the app and register. The needs listed in Columbia County will pop up with a description of why they need that item.
Click meet this need and the item will be ordered through Amazon Prime and delivered to the school in two days. The school social workers will then notify the family their item has arrived. The family and doners are all anonymous through the process.
"There's a toddler in the home and these are the shoes that she received," Lee-Scott said.
It's the result of generosity.
"These are a pair of pants that came in for one of the students," Lee-Scott said. "There are three high-schoolers in the household."
It's not just geared towards tragedy, but lifting those up who are down.
"I had a family of 5. A single mother with 4 sons," Tawana Bruce, a Columbia County school social worker said. "She had been homeless going from hotel to hotel. I went on Purposity and asked for a donation of a microwave. Before I could even hit that button, that need was met."

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. — Syncrude has pleaded guilty and been fined more than $2.7 million in the deaths of 31 great blue herons at one of its oilsands mines north of Fort McMurray.
An agreed statement of facts says Syncrude has admitted that an abandoned sump pond in which the birds were found didn't have deterrents to keep waterfowl from landing on it, even though the pond met criteria for being high risk.

Syncrude to pay more than $2.7 million in fines over deaths of 31 blue herons at Alberta oilsands mine Back to video
"For a three-month period between May and August of 2015, the external sump met the formal criteria … and presented features making it attractive to birds and other animals," the statement says.
"However, the external sump was not identified in the (pond) list produced by Syncrude for the purposes of monitoring … nor was it addressed pursuant to the (waterfowl protection plan)."

- Time Lords can remotely shut down other forms of time travel, including those not created by them:
'Deaths are to be kept to a minimum,' Yayani told her.
'The General said that, did he? He actually said those words, in that order.'
Yayani nodded.
Missy blew air from her cheeks. 'Then, there's no point in me sticking around. You're on your own.'
She jabbed at the Vortex Manipulator, and then was forced to jab at it again when it stubbornly refused to operate.
Yayani crossed her arms and regarded Missy with infuriating amusement. 'Going somewhere?'
'Obviously not. The sneaky slaphead has fritzed this too, hasn't he?' Missy leaned in to Yayani conspiratorially. 'He hates it when people call him that, by the way.'
The ghost of a smile played on Yayani's lips. 'Duly noted.'
~Lords and Masters
- Time Lords can create temporal prisons, out of sync with reality, to hold beings in:
The Time Lords built a Prison. They built it in a time and place that are both unimaginable to any entity who has never left the solar system in which it was spawned, or who has only experienced the journey through time, second by second, and that only going forward. It was built just for the Kin. It was impregnable: a complex of small rooms (for they were not monsters, the Time Lords – they could be merciful, when it suited them), out of temporal phase with the rest of the Universe.
There were, in that place, only those rooms: the gulf between microseconds was one that could not be crossed. In effect, those rooms became a universe in themselves, one that borrowed light and heat and gravity from the rest of Creation, always a fraction of a moment away.The Kin prowled its rooms, patient and deathless, and always waiting.It was waiting for a question. It could wait until the end of time. (But even then, when Time Ended,the Kin would miss it, imprisoned in the micro-moment away from time.)
The Time Lords maintained the Prison with huge engines they built in the hearts of black holes,unreachable: no one would be able to get to the engines, save the Time Lords themselves. The multiple engines were a fail-safe. Nothing could ever go wrong.As long as the Time Lords existed, the Kin would be in their Prison, and the rest of the Universe would be safe. That was how it was, and how it always would be. And if anything went wrong, then the Time Lords would know. Even if, unthinkably, any of the engines failed, then emergency signals would sound on Gallifrey long before the Prison of the Kin returned to our time and our universe.
The Time Lords had planned for everything.They had planned for everything except the possibility that one day there would be no Time Lords,and no Gallifrey. No Time Lords in the Universe, except for one.So when the Prison shook and crashed, as if in an earthquake, throwing the Kin down; and when the Kin looked up from its Prison to see the light of galaxies and suns above it, unmediated and unfiltered, and it knew that it had returned to the Universe, it knew it would only be a matter of time until the question would be asked once more.
And, because the Kin was careful, it took stock of the Universe they found themselves in. It did not think of revenge: that was not in its nature. It wanted what it had always wanted. And besides …There was still a Time Lord in the Universe.The Kin needed to do something about that.
~Nothing O'clock
- Time Lords can loop things in the duration of a single chronon:
As the event horizon momentarily destabilised, the fledgling Time Lords – with the knowledge they had gained from Omega's sacrifice, as well as assistance from the god of the people – generated a time loop within the singularity itself. With less than a nanosecond remaining before the Mad Mind declared itself God, time within the event horizon compressed into a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a second, a single chronon condemned to loop until the end of all days.
~Quantum Archangel
- Time Lords can block time travel to areas:
The crew of the Station had set up time buffers and early warning systems. Time travel to and from this timezone was impossible now, except for the narrow channel they were using to connect with Gallifrey.
~The Infinity Doctors
- Z-Caps can stop the flow of time across a limited area:
He handed her a small palm‐dispenser. It fitted neatly in her hand, sticking there.
It contains four Z-caps,' he explained, holding one of his own up. 'Discs the size of a coin that stop the flow of time over a limited area. Press one anywhere on a person's body and they will be immobilised.' He slotted the disc back into place, ready for use. 'Once we have secured the Doctor and timelocked the Needle People, we will locate the Needle's control centre and disable the defence systems.'
Larna side‐stepped, recovered the Z-cap from where she had seen it and pressed the disc onto his forehead. He fell over, almost comically; frozen in position but still subject to gravity.
The second man wasn't going anywhere, the Z-cap was saving his life. There was a hole in his chest, a wound made even more vile by the fact that it wasn't moving, that the blood was held in pace by the stasis field.
~The Infinity Doctors
- Uncertainty Suits and Pendants use probability manipulation to keep the wearer away from harm:
Idly, Larna wondered what Vrayto would make of the Uncertainty Suit.
Her maid would have approved of the fact that it covered every inch of her body except for her face and her hands, but at the same time she would have been shocked by how thin that covering was. It was a matt black skin, stretched taut over every curve and joint of her body like a silk stocking.
Putting the garment on had been an unpleasant experience – she'd placed a patch on her hip and it had quickly spread over her like a mould. Now it was on, it was dry, and surprisingly warm.
Larna was in the Magistrate's TARDIS, in the nearest guest quarters to the console room. Modesty had prevented her from changing in the presence of the Magistrate. She looked in the mirror, and was surprised. Vrayto would definitely approve. Rather than drawing attention to it, the Suit made her body a void, a black shape that you almost instinctively looked away from.
Which was the whole point.
She tied her hair back. Once that was done, she was ready to return to the console room and the Magistrate. He was also in a Suit. Larna found it impossible to look at him, so instead she concentrated on what he was doing. He was bent over one of the medical units that her team had brought here from Gallifrey. It was a metal casket that bore a disturbing similarity to a coffin. Only the pulsing of soft light from within the box and the two symbols on its lid gave away its true purpose. The Magistrate was using a small tool to stabilise the anti‐gravity field that held the coffin aloft. He pulled himself up, and Larna giggled when he looked straight past her.
The three Needle People were stirring. She could imagine the Magistrate edging round them, invisible now in his Suit and the darkness. The best she could do was stay in plain sight, distract them while he got into position. This way she could also tend to the Doctor.
Larna continued to walk towards him. She was between them both now.
'I don't know what to do...' he shouted across to his comrade helplessly.
'Helios, what do we do?' the other one cried pitifully, obviously appealing to the old man who had deserted them. Larna hesitated.
They both opened fire. The guns were energy pulse weapons of some kind, firing off sparse bursts of light and a chirping sound. At this range, they couldn't possibly miss.
The Suit kicked in, and suddenly Larna was standing a little to the left of where they were aiming, and so they missed her. A simple application of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, linked with really rather primitive time travel technology. The Suit monitored the future, and arranged for it and its wearer to be elsewhere when anything hostile was due to hit it.

DOCTOR: Another Time War souvenir, this pendent means I can stay ahead of you -
*SFX sounds of the villains trying to grab the Doctor, and time distorting around him*
- It's how Gallifreyan shock troops avoid being mowed down in a ground assault
~Diary of River Song
- Time Torpedos, commonly equipped on War TaRDiSes, are powerful enough to freeze TaRDiSes in time from both the inside and outside:
- Time Lords can take out planets from history:
We can rip whole worlds from the Web of Time.
~Doom Coalition vol 1
CHANCELLOR: Of course they are. We can't risk them getting hold of the weapon. The reports suggest they hit the Tenacity system with a reversal wave, yes?
AYMOR: I believe so, sir.
CHANCELLOR: Let's see how they like the exact opposite. If we can't have him, no one will.
(Big boom!)
BLISS: What was that?
DOCTOR: I don't know, but I don't like it.
OLLISTRA: They wouldn't. They can't.
DOCTOR: And that's really steadied my nerves.
BLISS: Day, night, day, night.
QUARREN: The stars, the sun, they're spinning.
OLLISTRA: They've accelerated the system. Hyper-evolution.
BLISS: What? What's that?
DOCTOR: The usual progression of this planet has been sped up. We'll experience thousands of years of development in moments.
RUPA: What, like continental drift, tectonic plates shifting?
DOCTOR: Exactly. This entire environment will change rapidly with every second that passes. We need to keep going.
BLISS: Can we still make it to the caves?
DOCTOR: I'm not sure the caves will even exist shortly.
OLLISTRA: They could become mountains, desert, even ocean.
DOCTOR: We need to find somewhere safe, somewhere stable.
OLLISTRA: Doctor, the sun.
DOCTOR: Yes, yes, I'd noticed.
BLISS: What about the sun?
DOCTOR: It's getting older. Sooner or later it'll go nova.
~One Life
- Time Grenades/Mines
Time grenades, designed to infiltrate secure targets. Place them in the past and they can materialize and detonate whenever you choose.
~Doom Coalition vol 1
War Doctor: Yes, she's found the time mines.
Kalan: What does that mean?
War Doctor: That's how she escaped, they can be set to go off at any time in the past as well as the future. That's what caused the explosion in the console room.
~Agents of Chaos: Eye of Harmony
- Chronic Tripwires can rip Dalek saucers out of the Time Vortex, and rapidly "evolve" the targets into dust:
- Chronon Mines:
ALIEN: You have attached something to the drive core. What is this device?
DOCTOR:I wouldn't touch it. Once its been set anyone attempting to defuse it gets chronologically displaced.
ALIEN: It will be removed. Detach the Doctor's machine.
DOCTOR: No, look, stay back!
*SFX of creatures screaming and time distorting*
ALIEN: Where did our brothers go?
DOCTOR: I tried to warn them. Don't worry, you'll be catching up with them soon.
ALIEN: What have you done?
DOCTOR: You wanted to get involved with the Time War? Well here is a particularly nasty little part of it. I've been clearing up the mess, collecting stray bullets before they do any damage.
ALIEN: What is it?
DOCTOR: A Chronon mine. Quite simple, now I've attached it to your engines it's blasting us back through time.
~The Diary of River Song
- Now Devourers are called time line napalm, basically they burn apart time forwards and backwards from the temporal/spatial point of activation:
DALEK: Analysis complete.
DOCTOR: And?
DALEK: This human was affected by chronon dispersal. Hypothesis, time disruptor weapons have been released on this world.
DOCTOR: That's what I thought. Mind if I?
DALEK: Transferring data. (Into sonic screwdriver.)
DOCTOR: Yes, your readings show all the hallmarks of a particularly nasty form of attack. If I remember my Jane's Guide to Time Weapons, they're called Now Devourers. BLISS: Now what?
DOCTOR: Temporal napalm. Microscopic organisms engineered to destroy the very concept of linear time. They must have been blasted all across this area, seeding instability. Jefferson was dragged into one of those battles we saw. BLISS: Aren't those battles from the past?
The effects of one, before activation:
RUPA: There was a rain forest out there. Jungle. I'm not certain, but I thought I saw movement in the trees before.
QUARREN: The whole area withered and died in moments. I've never seen anything like it.
DOCTOR: That's what these readings are telling me. Everything in our immediate surroundings is suddenly in a constant state of flux. Bliss?
BLISS: The same. That was the Theseus falling out of hyperspace, or whatever was left of it, breaking apart in the atmosphere. But everything else is changing. Star maps, life signs. Is there something wrong with the scanners? Are they failing, shutting down?
QUARREN: Don't look at me, I'm not the scientist. That's my wife.
DOCTOR: Dalek technology is efficient, if nothing else. If that's what it says, that's what's out there. Confusion. (Alarm.)
DOCTOR: Whoa, we're losing it. I need to find something. (Alarm tails off and stops.)
JEFFERSON: Hey, it's quiet out there now. Dead quiet.
DOCTOR: From what I can tell, the wave's gone. It's stable, for the moment. Stable confusion
... QUARREN: The forest's gone.
RUPA: No, it's still here. Just withered, dried out and rotted. It's like the trees have aged a thousand years in two minutes
More on the effects on not-yet-used Now Devourers:
RUPA: Oh, look at that. The forest, it's re-growing all around us! And dying again.
QUARREN: Now it's all coming back. New shoots, new leaves. BLISS: It's like it's cycling through time. Growing, dying, growing, dying, over and over.
DOCTOR: More fallout from the Time War.
BLISS: Ah, isn't that the way we're going?
QUARREN: There are people here.
DOCTOR: I'm not convinced they're here in the conventional sense. Have everybody wait by the ship. I'll scout ahead.
BLISS: Doctor, wait for me. (Distant shouts and weapon fire.)
DOCTOR: Ah, interesting.
BLISS: The war is still here after all. Oh.
DOCTOR: Not exactly. (Sounds fade away.)
BLISS: What happened to them? They're fading away, like ghosts.
DOCTOR: That's what they are. Phantoms, echoes, caused by whatever weapons were used here. Ah! BLISS: You all right?
DOCTOR: Yes. The images are fading. It should be fine for us to come through if we move quickly. We should go and get the others.
BLISS: You sure you're all right?
Doctor: Another symptom of the corruption. Time is fragmented here. Causality's askew. What we just saw is resonance from battles long past. Other times, other versions of reality. Ah! Like I said, I'm just more sensitive to it.
BLISS: Because you're a Time Lord. Those were your people back there, dying.
DOCTOR: Yes, but I'm not part of their fight. (beeps) Ah ha. What did I say? The fog is lifting. That's a definite trace. My Tardis is somewhere on this world. I just need to work out where.
Finally the activation of the Now Devourers:
TAMASAN: Yes, ma'am. Fleet Commanders report all payloads ready and waiting.
DOCTOR: Payloads? What payloads?
OLLISTRA: Excellent. Give the order. Release the Now Devourers.
DOCTOR: This was you. The echoes, they weren't from the past, they're from the battle you're starting now! You've doomed this world and every living creature on it! You're fighting in poisoned Space-Time.
OLLISTRA: Our projections indicate Gallifreyan biology is ten times more resistant to corruption than the enemy. In less than six months of fighting, we will eliminate two hundred thousand Daleks with less than forty percent mortality on our side.
DOCTOR: Obscene. What you're doing, what you've done here is obscene. I won't have any part in it. Where's my Tardis?
TAMASAN: His ship's been stowed in your Battle Tardis, ma'am.
~Echoes of War
- Time Lords will collapse the time lines of agents that are proven to be a threat to time:
DOCTOR: Just you and me now.
JARRA TO: You'll achieve nothing. Nothing! This world is still going to end.
DOCTOR: And take you and me with it, I know. But, what have we got now, a minute or two? Time for a chat, anyway.
JARRA TO: Ha! A chat?
DOCTOR: Yes, why not? Some lively discourse before the end of everything. It has a rather Bergman feel to it, don't you think?
JARRA TO: Get the girl to open the Tardis doors now!
DOCTOR: No. Let's talk, Jarra. May I call you Jarra? Let's talk about Time Lords. We're a strange bunch, when you shake it all down. And I can understand how we come across as pompous or arrogant. But you see, we take our responsibilities very seriously. What must have happened is after it became apparent that the former owner of that Tardis there was not coming back, he was, alive or dead, deemed lost. His timeline was shut down immediately, effectively shutting both you and he, or she, in with it.
JARRA TO: So?
DOCTOR: Well, that's just it. We're expendable, and we know it. We may occasionally have the odd delusion of grandeur, but ultimately we serve Time, not the other way round. And if Time is threatened, as it often is by people meddling in its treacherous and muddy waters, then we are expected to put things right. Or die trying. It's what it is to be a Time Lord.
JARRA TO: Doctor?
DOCTOR: So yes, there's a tendency for, shall we say, showmanship or eccentricity, which in turn manifests itself as a form of pomposity or arrogance, but well, that's because we're always just one short step ahead of the Reaper, and we must be willing, should the need arise, to turn and embrace him. We can afford to form no long term relationships, put down no roots, know no security in any shape or form.
JARRA TO: Doctor!
DOCTOR: You really do have bits of, what was his name, by the way?
JARRA TO: Protoksheltaknapretnik
DOCTOR: Well, possibly. But with even just a nip of Protok in your head, you know all I've said is true, and so you know I'm prepared to die right along with you if it means ending your threat right here.

I started taking Lava Yoga classes in March 2013. I was looking for a yoga class that would keep my interest, challenge me and increase my flexibility. I was having back pain because of tight back, glute and hamstring muscles and I felt I was heading down the path of hurting myself if I didn't do something to increase my flexibility. I am very active with teaching group fitness classes, training and mountain biking but I lacked action when it came to flexibility. I absolutely fell in love with Lava Yoga, both the yoga classes and the instructors. After a year, I inquired about leading classes and being part of the staff I so admired. In the summer of 2014 I lead my first Lava Yoga class and knew I was starting yet another chapter of my life - a chapter that would be full of rewards and health benefits.
My training includes certifications through American Council on Exercise (ACE) as Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer and Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist. I have had pilates mat and reformer training through Polestar Education, Yoga for a New Day training through an ACE continuing education course and Yoga/Fusion training through Safax. I also have a master's degree through Kansas State University in elementary education.
In July of 2015, I completed and was RYT certified.
Whether you are new to yoga or an experienced "yogi", I encourage you to try Lava Yoga. Not only will you discover a yoga practice you'll love but you will also become part of a yoga community who cares about you personally.

Legat, Hugh (DNB00)
LEGAT, HUGH (fl. 1400), Benedictine, a native of Hertfordshire according to Bale (p. 518), was not improbably a member of the family which held a manor at Abbots Walden in that county, belonging to the monks of St. Albans (Gesta Abbatum, ii. 179; Amundesham, ii. 265; Dugdale, Monasticon, ii. 210), and assisted the monastery in at least one important crisis (Gesta Abbatum, ii. 222). Bale says that Hugh Legat was brought up in the monastery school at St. Albans, displayed a strong love for learning, and went with the abbots leave to pursue his studies at Oxford, where, in the Benedictine hostelry of Gloucester Hall, St. Albans, like other abbeys of its order, had a house for its own scholars (Dugdale, Monast. ii. 199; Newcome, History of St. Albans, p. 807). He left Oxford probably before 1401, when he was among the monks who elected William Heyworth abbot of St. Albans (Gesta Abbatum, iii.480).
On his return to St. Albans Legat is said to have spent some time in the study of history. Thomas Walsingham the historian was then precentor of the abbey (ib. iii. 893). But Legat soon devoted himself to preparing a learned commentary, in nine books, on the 'Architrenius,' a satirical poem, written at the close of the twelfth century by John de Hauteville [q. v.] The work was dedicated to William Heyworth, who was abbot between 1401 and 1420. Legat's commentary, mutilated at beginning and end, is extant in a fifteenth-century hand in Bodleian MS. Digby, 64. Bale quotes Legat's preface from a more perfect copy.
Legat became prior of the neighbouring dependent cell of Redbourne. Of this office he was relieved in 1427, in the first abbacy of John Whethamstede, and sent to the cell of the abbey at Tynemouth (Chronicon Rerum Gestarum in Monasterio S. Albani, in Amundesham, i. 1-3). Nothing further is known of him.
[Bale's Scriptt. Brit. Cat. pp. 518–19, ed. Basel; Pits, De Illustr. Angl. Script. p. 568; Tanner's Bibl. Brit.-Hib. p. 474; Gesta Abbatum S. Albani and Johannis Amundesham Annales, in Chronica Monast. S. Albani, vols. iv–v. (Rolls Ser.); Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum, ii. 198–210, ed. Dodsworth, 1849; Newcome's Hist. of St. Albans, 1795, pp. 307–8.]

Patisserie "La Soleil", run by Kashou Minaduki, is flourishing thanks to the help of two catgirls: Maple, full of pride and a little on the haughty side, and Cinnamon, an impulsive daydreamer.
These two are especially close among the rest of the sisters. One day, Maple encounters something that shakes her belief in attaining her dream. Cinnamon, unwilling to see Maple suffer, wishes to help her in any way possible… but she can't figure out how. This story is a heartwarming cat comedy about their ambitions and the bonds between family members… with a little ecchi on the side, too.

2nd Grade December News
We hope everyone had a restful Thanksgiving Break! We are jumping into December with many exciting activities in the classroom. We are looking forward to sharing our students' Science Projects as apart of our home/school connection. The project due date is December 6, 2019.
We will be finishing up our second 9 weeks soon. We have learned about long vowels and long vowel teams, compound words, contractions, comparing and contrasting,multiple meaning words, genres, making inferences and we have been practicing our reading fluency.This month in writing we will continue to work with informational texts. Students are learning how and why authors include text features in their writing. We will be writing 'procedural texts' and informational reports on people, sun, and the solar system.Studying nonfiction mentor texts, they learn to add text features such as diagrams, headings, and captions. They are also learning how to develop and strengthen their writing. It is extremely important that every second grader can identify and distinguish text features. The first semester is drawing to a close;so we are anticipating with confidence the progress our students have made. Especially as it pertains to understanding the structure of literary non- fiction, asking relevant questions, paraphrasing/retelling what their reading was about.
In math we will conclude unit two in Ready Math. Our second graders will continue to add and subtract three digit numbers with regrouping: Interpret that three digits of a three digit number represent amounts of hundreds, tens, and ones, and read and write numbers to 1000 and compare two three-digit numbers, recording the results, step word problems. In addition our second graders are expected to:
Count within 1000 and identify skip counting patterns by 5's, 10's and 100's
Apply different strategies, fluently add and subtract within 100 and solve one-and two-step word problems within 100.
Apply different strategies, fluently add and subtract within 1000, add up to four two-digit numbers and solve one-and two-step word problems within 100.
Explain why different addition and subtraction strategies work.
We thank you for your continued support your child at home. Please utilize the following tips
Have your child read aloud each day for at least 10-20 minutes ( A. R. book would be great!) Note: Some students also have a repeated reading folder.
Support your child in completing and returning homework.
Practice addition and subtraction fluency daily ( flashcards).
We will continue to work in small groups where children are able to receive instruction at their level. Our goal is to build reading and math fluency. Reading fluency is the ability to read smoothly without having to sound out high-frequency words. Math fact fluency is the ability to answer all math fact questions instantly from recall without having to think through the problem.Students should be able to recall math facts instantly without having to count on their fingers or hesitate to think about the answer.
Again, Happy Holidays to you and your loved-ones !!

While deeply disappointed to cancel this year's Expo, NPPC's board of directors unanimously agreed it was prudent..." – NPPC's president
As was to be expected, this week the news broke that the World Pork Expo in Des Moines, IA, United States was cancelled. Originally the event was supposed to be held early June. That means that the event has been cancelled for a 2nd year in a row as the 2019 edition was also cancelled, over fears of African Swine Fever being brought into the US.
The event is normally organised by the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC). In a press release, the NPPC's president Howard Roth explained: "While deeply disappointed to cancel this year's Expo, NPPC's board of directors unanimously agreed it was prudent to make this decision now. By eliminating Covid-19-related uncertainty surrounding the event, we allow producers and others across the industry to focus on the essential role we play in the nation's food supply system at this critical time."
The 2021 event is planned to take place in Des Moines, 9-11 June.
One other major event, supposed to take place in the first 6 months of the year, was cancelled due to Covid-19, being the European Pig Producers congress. That was supposed to be held in the Netherlands, 9-11 June. It will now be held in 2021, new dates will be made public in a later stage.
In an earlier stage, various other pig events and congresses were already cancelled or postponed, like the Victam 2020 (March), London Swine Conference (March/April), ESPHM Congress (May), the British Pig & Poultry Fair (May) and the IPVS Congress (June).
For now, one of the first events on the international pig calendar is the postponed version of Victam 2020. This event has been rescheduled to take place July 9-11, 2020 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Why Christians Should Reject the Vocabulary of 'Short-Term Missions'
Christians have routinely accepted a range of false dichotomies when it comes to so-called "full-time ministry," confining such work to the vocation of pastor or evangelist or missionary. The implications are clear: Those who enter or leave such vocations are thought to be "entering the work world" or "leaving the ministry," whether it be for business or education or government.

Augustine (354-430) was one of the first to define a lie explicitly as the intent to deceive.
Augustine argues that lying is not permissible regardless of the circumstances that provoked the lie.
Kant defines a lie as an "intentionally untruthful declaration".
Kant identifies truthfulness as an utterance that accurately represents one's thoughts (including one's beliefs), regardless of whether those thoughts are themselves accurate.
Kant argues that lying is not permissible, but he allows for engaging in deception through careful word choice or evasion.

Jordan Peterson observed that virtues aim for balance and to avoid the extremes of the vices. Cultivating judgment about the difference between virtue and vice is the beginning of wisdom.
Modern relativism asserts judging how to live is impossible, because good and virtue are relative. Thus relativism's version of "virtue" is "tolerance." This leads to people broadcasting their tolerance as a form of self-promotion, and secret vice, which is also known as virtue signaling.
Order is where the people around you act according to the established social norms, remaining predictable and cooperative. Society is simultaneously structure and oppression.

[W]hy are so many people highly sceptical of GMOs? One reason could be non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Although they are perceived as trustworthy, some of their "facts" about GMOs are not sufficiently researched or are even blatantly false, leading to a spread of misinformation amongst the general public.
As the creators of the biotechnological tools which make GMOs possible, scientists are understandably highly supportive of their application. Economic and health benefits are discussed in numerous scientific reports, but the language used is complex and hardly accessible to the public. NGOs, on the other hand, design colourful infographics with less complex language. It is understandable that non-scientists would rather look at a well-designed leaflet than read a 20-page scientific report. This is a big problem science faces. Without the right means of communication, scientific findings fail to be appreciated by the average consumer. In the case of GMOs, competing companies capitalise on this lack of understanding to spark confusion and doubt in consumers.
Science should be accessible to everybody. In an era in which "fake news" can be spread so easily, science aims to provide factual statements. Translating findings from scientific lingo to a style which everybody understands is of the utmost importance. Making science more understandable ultimately makes it more accessible.

Winter Carnival in Quebec
Carnival de Québec (in Québec City, Canada) is a winter festival where there is fun everywhere. They have everything from a super long slide made entirely out of ice to giant inflatable gerbil balls you get into and try and run down a hill and knock over a giant bowling pin. The Winter Carnival has got it all.
One of the Carnivals most popular attractions is the Ice Palace were you can go inside and see the palace that is made entirely out of ice. Inside the ice palace there is a lot of history about the festival, like Bon Homme's (the mascot of the ice festival; pronounced bon ome) scarf that he wears around his waist. There is also a "game room" were you can play pool and sit in chairs by the "fire" which is carved totally out of ice.
The Carnival is spread out in the Plains of Abraham were a battle was fought by the French and British, both trying to claim Canada. The battle only lasted 15 minutes and the British won even though the French had twice the number of soldiers.
There are two sections of the Plains were the Festival is held. The first section is where you ice skate and build snowmen. The second section is a bit more interesting. That is where the Ferris wheel, gerbil balls, dogsled racing, zip lining, climbing wall, and much more.
Not all these rides are available at the same time – sometimes they only open on certain days so it is wise to look at the schedule before planning your visit. The festival is held annually on the three weeks before Ash Wednesday, so you can always go back and do anything you missed.
You have to buy a pass to go on or inside any of the carnival events, and since you have to tie it on you should wear a coat with a zipper or zippers. Plus it is cold so you should bundle up. If you want to go to the festival you'll want to make sure you bring snow pants, coats, gloves, mittens, and hats.
And make sure you have at least two of everything, especially hats and gloves and socks. If your feet and hands are cold you might not want to do most of the activities. You will be doing a lot of walking so you want to make sure you are bundled up and also prepared for walking. You'll want lace up boots and heavy socks.
You also need a passport or other identification papers to cross the border into Canada. You need to plan ahead if you go there, to make sure you have all the right things, but you should be sure to have a ton of fun because it is impossible to go there and not have a good time.

Wisconsin's chief insurance regulator has approved an overall 8.84% decrease in workers' compensation premium rates.
The new rates approved by Commissioner of Insurance Mark Afable are effective Oct. 1, 2019, and are expected to save Wisconsin businesses more than $170 million in 2020.
This is the fourth consecutive year workers' comp rates have declined in Wisconsin. The overall rates decreased by 6.03 percent in 2018, 8.46 percent in 2017, and 3.19 percent in 2016.
Wisconsin's reductions in workers' comp rates are consistent with the national trend. Wisconsin has also shown positive results when compared to other states that employ a similar benefit system. An analysis by the independent Worker's Compensation Research Institute showed the duration of temporary disability in Wisconsin is about two weeks shorter than is typical in the other states studied, which means that Wisconsin workers are able to get back to work faster after an injury occurs.
Worker's compensation rates are adjusted annually by a committee of actuaries from the Wisconsin Compensation Rating Bureau (WCRB), an organization created by state law. The committee analyzes claims from hundreds of categories of professions throughout the state and submits rate recommendations to the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, which has final approval over the rates.
The five major industry groups for workers' compensation in Wisconsin all are in line for a rate decrease. Contracting will have an 11.21 percent decrease; 8.75 percent for Office and Clerical; 8.66 percent for the Goods and Services industry group; and 8.11 percent for both the Manufacturing and Miscellaneous industry groups. Of the 525 total workers' compensation class codes included in the 2019 rate filing, 93 percent will see a rate decrease.

As you read this, weather has turned the corner for the season here in Port Orange. Over the next few days, the average high will stand about 80° before dipping back down for a bit.
Not every home in America comes with an air conditioning unit installed. Large portions of the northern part of the country go without. But here in Florida a functioning HVAC system is critical and maintaining your system with regular check-ins from your HVAC company is all part of the luxury of having air conditioning.
Your HVAC system delivers fresh, breathable air to every room in your home. It keeps you cool in the summer, warm in the winter and comfortable all year long. It's an important part of your family, which is why having a HVAC maintenance plan in place is so important--to your health, happiness, comfort and bank account.
Winters in Central Florida aren't all that bad. The sun still shines, the grass is still green and it almost never snows. But it's still winter, which means that as the temperature drops your heating bill can rise--especially if you haven't winterized your home.
Have you ever come home, and your home is stifling hot? Or maybe your heater wouldn't turn on to take away a morning chill? Then you know the inconvenience that a broken HVAC system can bring. However, did you know that regular HVAC maintenance can prevent these problems from happening? Regular maintenance is a small investment that comes with big rewards, like your family's comfort.
3 Steps To Easy Air Quality Improvement
Maintaining your indoor air quality is a year-round goal for most, but the cooler weather of the late fall and winter can make this task more challenging. If you are looking for simple and low-cost ways to improve the quality of your air then look no further. Here are 3 ways you can give your home a fresh air makeover.
Why Do I Have Poor Air Quality?
After a long day outside the home, returning to your abode should be a breath of fresh air, but what if it isn't? Poor indoor air quality is not simply unpleasant, it can also be a health concern. Your family, friends, visitors, and even customers may all be impacted by a building with air quality that is subpar. Fortunately, the cause is often not hard to find and once addressed the air should improve.
If you've ever had the displeasure of your HVAC system failing to work when you need it the most, a maintenance contract may be the right choice for you. HVAC Maintenance contracts are sometimes avoided by people hoping to save money or viewing preventative care as unnecessary but that is far from the truth. There are many benefits to establishing a maintenance agreement with your favorite service and repair company.
Refrigerant, or coolant as it is also called, is an essential part of every HVAC system. If your air conditioning unit is not cooling properly, a lack of the necessary amount of refrigerant is very often the source. To provide cool and comfortable air throughout your home, the levels of coolant must be adequate and stable. This is why a refrigerant check is always included in any maintenance visit or tune-up. Spotting the signs of low refrigerant is not a difficult task, but here are the top three signs that typically point to this issue.
With climate change a hot, but controversial topic these days, more and more people are becoming concerned with the effect they have on the environment. Gone are the days when the biggest step most homeowners and businesses would take was simply recycling. For anyone interested in reducing their negative impact a step further, consider going green with your air conditioning system.

We specialize in providing heating and cooling systems for comfort and control in your home or workplace.

When several people are interested...
As a suggestion, when several people are interested in an item you are offering, don't necessarily give/sell it to the first person to respond. How about waiting 24 hours and then choosing someone - maybe at random, or maybe the easiest to arrange the collection/delivery with?
That would make it less of a race and give those who weren't online when you posted a chance too.
This is just a suggestion of course; it's up to you who gets it and how you decide.
