Hiring is one of the highest impact things you can do for your company at any stage, but particularly in the early stages. Bringing new people on board will accelerate your work output; expand your company's capabilities; and bring new skills, expertise, experiences, and perspectives to the work your company does. Your early team sets the foundation for your company's culture.
The first place that founders should look for new team members is their close network—people whose work they are already familiar with, people they know they can partner with during the ups-and-downs of early company life. These people are more likely to take a bet on you and your idea.
However, that pool of people is likely very small, and they may not have the many, many competencies required to run a business. This guide will help you find great new team members beyond that first set of people.
Step 1: Determine what roles you want to hire for and their core responsibilities
The first thing to think about is what qualities will improve the team. When a company is starting out, there is a temptation to reproduce what's working well. But you want to complement your team, not duplicate it.
A good place to start is by making a list, in very concrete terms, of what the team is struggling with and what skills and expertise the business is currently blocked on. This list should include both hard skills (e.g., infrastructure engineering, operations, frontend design, sales, marketing) and soft skills (e.g., communication, organization, relationship building, influencing).
Then, pick out which skills on that list could likely fit together within a single person's responsibilities at your company (for example, it's likely that sales, operations, and relationship-building skills could fall under one role). As you do this, document what backgrounds and experiences would make someone an attractive candidate to do this role at your company. Do you want someone with B2B sales experience at a company of a similar size? Do you want someone who has built a security program from scratch before? As you create this list, it's important to have a reason for each thing you add—everything should be directly applicable to the work the person will be doing at your company.
This is the start of a job description. To test if you're designing a reasonable role, write down what a typical day or quarter would look like for a person in this job. If someone executed perfectly in this day or quarter you designed, would it meaningfully and reliably drive impact for the company and business? Will executing at that level even be feasible and fulfilling for a single person?
If the answer to both questions is "yes," then it's time to create and post a formal job description.
Step 2: Post a role with a clear, motivating job description on your website
Writing out exactly what you are looking for will set explicit expectations with candidates about what is needed of them to be successful. This will ensure that you and your candidates have a great experience determining whether there is a mutual fit. It will also help you more easily spread the word.
The best job descriptions follow a simple formula: (a) a description of the company, (b) an explanation of the role, and (c) the criteria you're seeking in a candidate. Fortunately, you wrote parts (b) and (c) in step 1.
When you post your job description, make sure to use clear, inspiring, and inclusive language. (It can be hard to determine if you're unintentionally using exclusionary language. Textio has some great tips for writing inclusive job descriptions.) A potential candidate should have a very good sense of the company, team, and role from reading the job description. Including extraneous or exaggerated information could prevent qualified candidates from applying and could set the wrong expectations with people who do apply.
Here are three examples of great job descriptions: Full Stack Engineer; Copy Editor; and Software Engineer, Content Safety.
Once your job description is ready, post it.
Step 3: Fill your pipeline with excellent candidates
Once you post your job description, there are a number of ways to find candidates. Four that work particularly well are sourcing sessions, LinkedIn, in-person events, and third-party job sites.
Host sourcing sessions
A "sourcing session" is time explicitly carved out to write down people in your network, and on the periphery of your network, that may be a good fit for a role at your company. Sourcing is easy to deprioritize, but it's absolutely critical to building a sizeable and diverse pipeline. At Stripe, our sourcing sessions are one hour long, and we invite everyone from relevant teams to fill out a spreadsheet with people we'd love to hire.
Tips for an effective sourcing session:
- Start with the context and motivation for hiring for the role. This will get everyone on the same page about the role and hopefully inspire people to help.
- Set a clear individual or team goal. For example, everyone finds 10 candidates, or the group finds 50 candidates in aggregate.
- Provide a central resource (e.g., a spreadsheet) for keeping track of candidates. This will not only help you stay organized later with your outreach, but it can also be a source of motivation for people attending the sourcing session.
- Have someone available who can answer questions about the role and its qualifications.
- Bring music and snacks. Who doesn't like music and snacks?
- Take the entire hour—no matter what. People always remember "the perfect candidate" 10 minutes after they've gone through their entire network.
- Encourage participants to show each other candidates they're thinking about.
- Encourage participants to share destinations where they've had success sourcing. For example, GitHub, LinkedIn, or AngelList.
- List potential candidates even if you know they're not looking for a new role. Even if a potential candidate doesn't want to join now, she may in the future, or she may know people who are looking now.
- Remind the group to dedicate extra time and energy looking for candidates from potentially atypical or underrepresented backgrounds.
Use LinkedIn
If you use just one tool for recruiting and sourcing, use LinkedIn. LinkedIn is the best starting place for sourcing.
The key to using LinkedIn effectively is translating your role criteria to your LinkedIn search. Some specific tips:
- Use keywords to identify candidates with relevant job titles and descriptions of what they are working on. In general, more specificity is better.
- Find additional keywords by asking yourself why you're searching from particular sources. "I'm looking for someone from Facebook." "Why?" "They are familiar with working with large user bases." "Oh, I should think about large user bases in general, not just Facebook."
- Use "years of experience," "years in current role," or "years since graduation" to determine tenure.
- Search for specific programs, companies, organizations, and schools that map well to your company and role.
- When you find a profile that is a fit, read through it thoroughly to see what keywords it includes. Then search for those keywords. You may find candidates you wouldn't have found otherwise.
- Target companies, groups, and schools with demographics you want to emulate. When you hire from a particular source, you lay the foundation to inherit their successes and challenges with diversity.
- If you recruit often, consider getting LinkedIn Recruiter. It will enable you to perform more targeted searches and reach out to a larger pool of candidates than you'd otherwise be able to.
Attend events
Events are one of the best ways to prospect candidates. You may already have a list of industry events and conferences that you regularly attend. If so, continue to go to those if you find them valuable. Eventbrite and Meetup are great platforms to help you identify unique events that may not be on your radar. Need to recruit someone for the hardware team? Go to a Makerspaces meetup. Need a copy editor? Maybe there are National Novel Writing Month meetups in your area.
The key is to go to events that you're actually excited to go to. You'll show up with real, genuine excitement, and it'll be easier to find candidates with a shared interest.
Once you've picked a few events, here are some tips for attending:
- Set a goal. Before arriving at the event, decide how many people you want to talk to. If there's a guest list available ahead of time, do your research and seek out high-potential candidates.
- Be yourself. Authenticity is critical for all interactions with potential candidates and especially for in-person interactions. You don't have to be talking about your company or hiring at every turn. Real, genuine networking is part of recruiting.
- Prepare your company and role pitch. Make sure you are prepared with a succinct and memorable explanation of your company and the roles you are looking to hire for. Be prepared to answer "What do you do?" or "What does your company do?" Even if you're talking to someone who is uninterested in joining, your pitch should be clear enough that they can tell their friends about open roles in your company.
- Tailor your pitch to your audience. When I talk about Stripe at nonprofit events, I talk about Stripe Atlas and building opportunities for entrepreneurs all over the world. But when I'm at a VC event, I talk about the potential of Stripe's products to provide more tools than other companies who are also in the fintech space.
Post on third-party job sites
Some people haven't visited your company's jobs page because they haven't heard of your company yet. This is why third-party job sites like Craigslist, AngelList, or Handshake can be so effective.
To identify which would be best for you, ask others in your industry where they're having success. You should also ask candidates where they're searching for jobs.
When evaluating third-party sites, don't be afraid to reach out to the company that runs the job board to ask them questions. What is their rate of hire? What type of people visit their site?
Another thing to consider is that some job boards require payment. You'll need to determine whether their traffic and audience are worth the cost. If you can, implement a unique tracking link for each job site so that you can learn about and optimize your sourcing activity.
There are enough job boards out there that you can be very discerning and targeted. Platforms like Hacker News and Hired are really effective for finding engineers. There are also a handful of job sites that are focused on highlighting candidates from underrepresented backgrounds, such as Tech Ladies and Jopwell.
Step 4: Talk to candidates in a way that gets them excited
Once your list of candidates is in place, there are two types of outreach:
- Warm outreach: This is outreach to people you know. Warm outreach should be personal and colloquial to keep the barrier to responding low. Talk about your experience at the company and how it relates to something she is great at or passionate about.
- Cold outreach: This is outreach to people you don't know. Cold outreach should be short, sweet, and personalized enough to express your excitement about talking to this specific candidate. Think about what would catch your eye, and then write that to maximize your chance of a response.
Both types of outreach can be intimidating for their own reasons, but they are each critical to getting the word out that you're hiring. You always want to make the outreach as pleasant and personal as possible while including critical information about the role.
Warm outreach
When doing "warm outreach," it's most effective to either (1) have the person with the closest relationship reach out first or (2) have a senior team member reach out and mention the close connection ("AnnE said you're the best engineer she's ever worked with!").
Here are some examples of warm outreach you can customize and make your own.
Hi, Lauren! Hope you've recovered from dinner on Monday! I'm writing you because my team just opened a role, and as soon as I read the description, I thought of you. We need someone who can help get our recruiting processes in order and running smoothly and someone who understands how to work cross-functionally with our People Ops team to help build a smooth hire-to-onboarding process. I know you've rolled out something like this at your company. Any interest in learning more about the role here? Obviously, I'm happy to talk to you about it, but also, I'd love to set you up to talk to the head of recruiting. (I showed her your profile, and she said she'd talk to you today if you wanted to.) Let me know :-)
Hi, Rachel! I'm excited to see you at WriterCon next week. Quick question: We're looking for our next content editor at Stripe, and I wanted to see if you or anyone you know would be interested. This role is going to be key for Stripe, so we really want to find the right person. I know you're super happy where you are, so no pressure, but would love to talk to anyone you think is great. You'd know best!
Hi, Cait! My name is AnnE, and I graduated from Howard in 2015. I'm reaching out because my team is hiring software engineers at Stripe, and I think the team could use some more Howard grads! The people here are amazing—there are so many opportunities to learn. And on top of that, the salads at lunch seriously rival the ones from our Hall ;-) I'd love to have you come to the office for lunch, if you're interested.
If someone writes you back but isn't interested, ask them if they know anyone who is.
Cold outreach
When doing cold outreach, be concise and welcoming. Speak to something that the potential candidate cares about, and let them know why you are reaching out to them, specifically. Rather than trying to schedule an interview or asking them to come to the office, make the ask easy to respond to by offering to share more information, or have a quick phone call.
Here are some examples of cold outreach you can customize and make your own:
Hi, Jaime! I lead the editorial team here at Stripe. I'm reaching out because I was really impressed by your work on the blog. I'd love to talk to you more about it. Any interest in meeting up for coffee?
Hi, Alba! I'm working on the editorial team at Stripe. I noticed that your work on your company's blog looks like a great fit for some of the material we are creating here. Right now, my team is working on making the blog the go-to destination for scaling organizations. I'd love to jump on a call with you to tell you more about it and see if this is something you'd be interested in working on in the future.
Hi, Jesse! I'm working on hiring a fantastic writer at Stripe. Historically, we've empowered entrepreneurs with our products and infrastructure, and we want to do it with information too. I came across your profile and was impressed by your experience. I'm sure you're not looking to move jobs at this time (congrats on two years at Slack, by the way!), but I would love to hop on a call for five minutes to talk about this role and get any suggestions you have for finding someone with similar experience. Thanks so much in advance!
Two more tips for cold outreach:
- Follow up. Always, always follow up. Candidates who don't respond to your first message may very well respond to your second or third note. It shows that you are interested and persistent. I know from experience that this can feel like you're pestering disinterested potential candidates (or turning them off), but you can write in a way that is respectful and earnest by crafting messages that are are short and authentic. ("Hi, Jaden, I hope you're doing well! I'm reaching out to bring my note back up in your inbox. I'd really like to chat with you about the product manager role at Stripe. Are you interested at all? Or, perhaps know anyone who is? Absolutely no worries if not!")
- Stay organized. Do your best to track your candidate outreach and communication using a central tracker for your company (using a spreadsheet or, as you scale, an applicant tracking system). This will not only help you keep track of each candidate, but it will also minimize the chance that multiple people at your company reach out to the same candidate.
Step 5: Keep it up
To maintain a steady pipeline, your recruiting efforts need to be a consistent priority. Starting this process early will also ensure that you set up optimal practices as you grow.
The amount of time you devote to recruiting is up to you. At Stripe, we encourage our hiring managers to spend some time every day on recruiting. Some hiring managers prioritize up to two hours a day on building their pipeline, particularly when they are actively hiring. However, even when you aren't actively hiring, I would recommend taking 20–30 minutes every day to reach out to candidates and build your network. Set this as an event in your calendar and treat it as you would any other priority so that it becomes a habit.
You may not see the effects of all of your work immediately. That's normal. It takes time to build a pipeline. Even when roles aren't open or candidates aren't immediately interested, continue to reach out.
Sometimes this may feel like a waste of time. It's not. In a few years, when you're looking back at your company's accomplishments, you won't regret the time you spent finding the people that made it possible.
When you start recruiting, looking within your personal network is an easy and obvious starting point, but you shouldn't limit yourself to that specific group. It's never too soon to begin recruiting outside of your personal network and start building a more diverse pipeline of candidates. It's not always a straightforward process—we're still learning how to do it well—but it is worth the commitment. I wish you the best of luck.

Italy Business Plan Options
There are mainly two types of business plans that are written in Italy: capital raising business plans and management or managerial business plans.
Raise Capital with a Business Plan
Most business plans are written with eye towards raising money for their venture. In a business plan that is written for investment capital, the structure of the business plans and therefore the most important point of the document will be the value-added benefit. Information on the products, services and the market will play central roles in the development of the plan, as well as various payout or exit strategies for the investors. Most business plans will focus on either selling equity or debt to investors.
- Equity: In an equity business plan the company seeking funding will sell an ownership stake. If the company is a corporation, they will sell shares or common stock or a variation of them. If the company is a LLC or a Limited Company (which is popular worldwide) interest or units in the company would be offered. Both a form of ownership, just with a different name for each entity. In additional, there are other sweeteners one can add into any business plan offering, including warrants or preferred shares or preferred units or convertible debt.
- Debt: in a debt offering business plan the company will be issuing some type of bond or a note to investors. A bond or note differ only in terms of the length of each security, which bonds being considered a longer maturity date than a note. There are also convertible debt securities that would convert the notes/bonds to equity at a certain fixed point in time. The business plan for bonds would detail the terms, such as the maturity date, interest rate and other vital information.
Managerial Guidance Business Plan
- No Capital Raising: In a managerial or a management business plan, the focus is not on raising money but what strategy a company should employ. While most companies that write business plans do so to raise capital, there are some that simply want to get a second opinion or an outside view of their business. They ask us to write them a business plan for growth opportunities, not to raise money. Said another way, the management of the company wants to see our view and take on their business and what we would do to expand their company.
- Recommendations: A business plan used to simply strategically plan one's next move is referred to as managerial guidance business plan document. No capital is being raised initially, although sometimes we may conclude that capital should be raised for the company to penetrate or open new markets or opportunities. In the course of research, we may conclude that, in fact, the company should conduct an offering and raise money. We will recommend the amount to raise based on the company's expansion needs and the company valuation.

Your yard is an important part of your home and requires a great deal of time, effort, and money to maintain. Landscaping can suffer damage from fire, theft, and vandalism, just like the inside of your home.
If you have worked hard and invested a lot of money to create a beautifully landscaped yard, you may be wondering whether homeowners insurance will cover your trees, shrubs, and landscaping in case of damage. Most homeowners policies provide coverage under certain conditions.
Landscaping Damage Typically Covered by Homeowners Insurance
Standard homeowners policies generally provide protection against damage to landscaping, trees, and shrubs caused by:
- Fire
- Explosions
- Lightning
- Vandalism
- Theft
- Riot
- Vehicles (someone else's)
Weather-related damage (other than lighting) is not typically covered by homeowners insurance. This includes any damage to trees, shrubs, and landscaping caused by wind, hail, rain, ice, and snow. Similarly, damage to plants caused by disease or insects is typically not covered.
Most homeowners policies have limits on how much coverage is available to restore damaged landscaping. There may be limits on how much a policy will cover for each tree or shrub. Under certain policies, landscaping coverage may be limited to a percentage of the total protection provided for the dwelling structure.
Homeowners Insurance and Fallen Trees
A large tree that falls in a strong wind or for any other reason can do a great of damage to structures, in addition to the damage to the tree itself. If weather conditions caused the tree to fall, your homeowners policy may not cover the cost of replacement.
However, if the fallen tree damaged your home, a shed, or a fence, your homeowners insurance may pay to have the tree removed and to repair the damaged structure. If the fallen tree did not damage any structure, most policies will not cover tree removal.
As an important note, insurance will not typically cover structural damage from a fallen tree that results from lack of maintenance. For example, if a tree on your property begins to rot and later falls, causing damage to structures, your homeowners insurance may not cover the damage.
Additional Coverage to Protect Your Landscaping
If you live in an area where weather conditions are likely to cause damage to trees and landscaping, you may want to consider obtaining additional coverage to protect this important investment. Extra coverage may be available to pay for removal of fallen trees and debris caused by wind, hail, or the weight of snow, sleet, and ice, even when no structure was damaged in the weather event.
You may also consider purchasing additional insurance to increase your landscaping coverage limits. The premium you pay for homeowners insurance is based on several factors, including the location, age, and condition of your home, policy limits, and the deductible you choose for your policy.
A well-landscaped yard is a big investment that adds to the value of your home. It makes sense to protect that investment. Our friendly agency can help you find homeowners insurance with the landscaping coverage you need at the lowest available rates.

Julien Dupre: A Survey
Working during the last half of the 19th century, Julien Dupré was an artist, considered by most, to be one of the leading exponents of the second generation of Realist painters; a group that also includes Leon Lhermitte, Jules Bastien-Lepage and Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret. Like J.F. Millet and J. Breton, before them, these artists devoted their artistic careers to the depiction of the toils of the French peasant - often seen hard at work in the fields. As Hollister Sturges states in Jules Breton and the French Rural Tradition (1982, Joslyn Art Museum):
Salon critics rightly perceived Julien Dupré as Breton's closest follower. Through idealization of form, he invested his peasant women with a heroic aura, though unlike his predecessor, his figures are usually engaged in vigorous action. His landscapes, with their cloudy skies and varied motifs, are also much more active. Their high key color and spontaneous brushwork have a vivacity and freshness that distinguishes them from the somber calm of Breton's scenes.
Dupré's most enduring and powerful image is that of a single, Herculean, female, positioned dramatically and elegantly in the foreground of the painting, pitching hay. His finely modeled figures pay tribute to his academic training, as well as his study of the works of Breton and Bouguereau; while his freer handling of the background areas, at times done with a palette knife, shows the influence of the Impressionists.
Dupré received his artistic training in the academic studios of Isidore Pils, Desire-Francois Laugée and Henri Lehmann. He exhibited his first painting at the Paris Salon in 1876 and thereafter, became a regular exhibitor until his death in 1910. In 1880 he was awarded a third-class medal for Faucheurs de Luzerne and in 1881 he received a second-class medal for his La Recolte des Foins. He was honored with a gold medal at the Paris Fair of 1889 and in 1892 was awarded the Legion of Honor. His work was sought after internationally and he found a good market in the United States. In 1891 Marion H. Speilman, in his article entitled "The White Cow" (The Magazine of Art, 1891, Vol. 14, p. 415), describes Dupré as:
... one of the most rising artists of the French School. He is individual in his work, accurate as an observer, earnest as a painter, healthy in his instincts and intensely artistic in his impressions and translations of them... he is always one of the attractions at the Salon.
Acknowledging his mastery at portraying both animals and humans powerfully, yet gracefully, one cannot help but pay tribute to his immense talent in being able to recreate nature's light on canvas - a feat that many have attempted but few have succeeded in accomplishing. Whether it is the light filtering through a group of trees onto the figures and animals below or the warm effulgent sun bathing the lush French countryside, Dupré is always true to nature.
Speilman goes on to remark that: In The White Cow which was amongst the finest works in last year's Salon, several of M. Dupré's merits as a painter are exemplified. The cow - taking a patient and intelligent interest in the operation of milking - is superbly drawn, and her expression admirably rendered. The light and shade, the balance of composition, and the rendering and disposition of the figures combine in this picture to produce a canvas which pleases the spectator the more he examines it.

Teeth Trivia
Nashua, NH Dentist
Sharks have unlimited sets of teeth.
Fangs are not found in all snakes, but all snakes do have teeth, usually in six rows. Their teeth are curved backwards like the barbs on a fishing hook, which keeps their prey from escaping.
"Long in the tooth," is a phrase meaning old. It was originally used to describe horses. As horses age, their gums recede, giving the impression that their teeth are growing. The longer the teeth look, the older the horse.
It is an aggravated assault In Louisiana to bite someone with your false teeth but simple assault if you bite someone with your natural teeth.
Every person has a unique tongue print.
It takes 17 muscles to smile — 43 to frown.
Jaw muscles can provide about 200 pounds of force to bring the back teeth together for chewing.
One in every 2,000 babies is born with a tooth.
The average human produces 25,000 quarts of spit in a lifetime, enough to fill two swimming pools.
The only bone in the human body not connected to another is the hyoid, a V-shaped bone located at the base of the tongue between the mandible and the voice box. Its function is to support the tongue and its muscles.
The sound of a snore (up to 69 decibels) can be almost as loud as the noise of a pneumatic drill.
A squirrel's teeth grow continuously. Their incisors can grow up to six inches per year, but stay short due to the constant wear they receive.
Cats have 30 teeth and dogs have 42.
In the United States, close to 3 million miles of dental floss was purchased in 1996 by dental consumers.
Paul Revere was a practicing dentist.
Rodents' teeth grow all their lives.
Reptiles' and sharks' teeth are replaced constantly, before they wear out.
A crocodile replaces its teeth over forty times in a lifetime.
Elephants' tusks are specialized incisors for digging food up, fighting and lifting.
Turtles and tortoises are toothless.
Aardvark teeth have no enamel coating and are worn away and regrow continuously. Aardvarks are born with conventional incisors and canines at the front of the jaw, but these fall out and are not replaced. In adult Aardvarks, the only teeth are the molars at the back of the jaw.
Opossums may have other predators to worry about, but they should feel pretty safe around snakes. They are one of a only a few animals (others include woodchucks and raccoons) that produce chemicals that render snake venom harmless. Scientists have tried to discover just how this chemical defense works in hopes of creating a vaccine to protect humans from snake bites, but so far have not been successful.
A mosquito has 47 teeth.
The Statue of Liberty's mouth is three feet wide.
How can you tell when a gorilla is angry? It sticks its tongue out.
An average person laughs about 15 times a day.
A sneeze zooms out of your mouth at over 600 m.p.h.
An elephant's tooth can weigh over six pounds! That's heavier than a big jug of milk!
Even though whales are very big, some of them don't have any teeth. Instead, they have rows of stiff hair like combs that take food out of the ocean.
Snails are very small but they can have thousands of tiny teeth all lined up in rows.
Minnows have teeth in their throat.
Rabbit's teeth never stop growing. They keep them worn down by gnawing on bark and other hard foods.
Lemon sharks grow a new set of teeth every two weeks. They grow more than 24,000 new teeth every year!
Teeth are heavy and require considerable muscle to operate efficiently; this has made an important contribution to the evolution of the mammal skull.
Mammals are heterodonts; this means some of our teeth are different. In fishes and reptiles the teeth are all basically the same, some bigger than others but the same basic shape.
Mammals needed their teeth to do several different jobs and so mammal teeth evolved into different forms. Mammal teeth can grind, stab, scissor, dig, chisel, sieve, and in the case of elephant tusks – lift.
Teeth are the hardest part of any mammal and therefore they are the part most often fossilized. The number, size, organization, and shape of the teeth are different in every species of mammal and can be used in taxonomy, especially of fossils. In fact without teeth the fossil record would be much harder to understand.
Mammals have only two sets of teeth, the first set they get soon after birth, often called the 'milk teeth' and a larger set they acquire as an adult. The larger set has both more and larger teeth to fill the larger jawbones.
In all other toothed vertebrates teeth just keep coming, no matter how many you lose there is always another one ready to take its place. In other words fish amphibians, reptiles, and birds either have no teeth or numerous sets.
Teeth do not last forever, like everything they wear out. How fast they wear out depends on what the animal eats. Herbivore teeth in particular tend to wear out at a specific rate. This is very useful for biologists as it allows them to age an animal by looking at its teeth. Therefore, the skull of a long-dead animal can supply useful information by faithfully retaining the information of how old the animal was when it died.
Elephants have the largest teeth in the world. An Elephants tusks are actually modified incisors. They arise from the upper jaw and only 2/3s of them are visible because they are deeply embedded in the elephant's skull.
The heaviest pair of tusks, and therefore the heaviest pair of teeth of any extant (still living species) animal belonged to an African Elephant Loxodonta Africana shot in 1897. One of the pair was slightly larger than the other but together they weighed 211kg or 465lb.
A single tusk from an unknown African Elephant weighed in at 117kg or 258lb Paris in 1900. This is the single largest tooth of a modern animal.
Prehistoric records also go to members of the elephant family. The longest tusk ever found belonged to the extinct Palaeoloxodom antiquus germanicus, the Straight-tusked Elephant. On average this magnificent animal had tusks 5m or 16.5 ft long.
The heaviest tusks ever known belonged to the Colombian Mammoth Mammuthus columbi, these weighed 226kg or 498lb.
A single tusk from an unknown species that weighs 150kg or 330lb is preserved in a museum in Milan. If the owner of this huge tooth had two approximately the same size their combined weight would have been around 300kg or 660lb and thus far more than the Colombian Mammoth.
Apart from elephants, the tusks of walruses can also get quite large – up to 1m long and weighing 5.4kg or 12lb. The canines of hippopotamuses can also be quite impressive.
Tusks aside, it is the African Elephant again who comes in as the winner in the largest teeth stakes. A bull African Elephant's molars can be easily be more than a foot long and weigh 4kg or 10 lb.
Who Has How Many Teeth?
- Most placental mammals are happy with between 20 and 40, while most marsupials have 30 to 50.
- As a general rule, animals that feed on insects have more teeth than either herbivores or the larger carnivores.
- Several groups of mammals have decided to do without teeth altogether. The 10 species of Whales in the order Mysticeti, the 8 species of Pangolins family Manidae, and the 3 species of Anteaters in the family Myrmecophagidae and order Edentata have all given up on teeth completely and have none.
- On land the mammal with the most teeth is the Giant Armadillo, which can have as many 100 teeth in its jaws.
- In the oceans the Spinner Dolphin can have as many as 252 teeth in its long thin jaws.
- There are more than 100 fish teeth in the ocean for every single animal tooth on land!
- Most dolphins have 96 teeth and whales have more than 1,000.
Barracudas and sharks have several rows of teeth.
Sharks eat all day long, they never brush, they never floss, and they never get a cavity.
There has never been a single cavity found in the ocean (that we know of).
On land we find only two groups of animals that experience tooth decay: human beings (and their domestic pets) and bears. Bears eat gallons of honey at a time, which is why they get cavities.
In over 22 countries, humans consume more than 120 pounds of sugar per person per year.
Dogs and cats in the wild never get a cavity; but when you feed them human food, they can get cavities.
In some countries, like China, most people eat such small quantities of sugar that entire cities are cavity-free. In fact, guess which country has the most cavities per person? The United States of America.

Atrocious instances of gang rape over the past year or so have shaken India, but the one this week in West Bengal has a particularly sinister twist.
An all-male village tribunal, said to be upset that a 20-year old tribal woman had fallen in love with a man outside the community, is alleged to have ordered she be gang-raped as punishment.
The young woman is being treated in a hospital after telling authorities that she was sexually assault by no fewer than 12 men.
According to police, when her "unauthorized" relationship was discovered, the village council first imposed a fine on the young woman equivalent to hundreds of dollars.
But her family said they were too poor to pay, and the council in the village of Subalpur, 110 miles north of Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, ordered her to be sexually assaulted.
"Go enjoy the girl and have fun," the head of the tribunal told villagers, according to the complaint filed by the woman's family.
The chief of the tribunal, identified as Balai Mardi in news reports, was arrested along with 12 other men. They appeared in court on Thursday.
"The crime was committed by our own people [who] tortured my daughter and dumped her at home late at night," the victim's mother said. The victim told reporters that her neighbors were among those who brutalized her.
In 2010, village elders in the same area ordered a young woman to strip naked and walk before large crowds for the crime of having "close relations" with a man from a different caste.
Clan-based village councils, commonly known as khap panchayats, generally consist of powerful elements of the dominant caste who wish to be seen as guardians of the public morality. While not legally binding, their decisions do wield influence over life in large swathes of rural India.
India's Supreme Court has said the village councils "often decree or encourage honor killings or other atrocities ... [of] boys and girls of different castes and religion, who wish to get married."
The court ruled in 2011 that "this is wholly illegal and has to be ruthlessly stamped out."
Despite strengthened rape laws, many women across India still live in fear of being sexually attacked.
Last week a Danish tourist was gang raped near a busy train station in central New Delhi, deepening anxieties that the country's capital is not safe for women.
And in October, a 16-year-old girl was gang raped twice by the same group of men in a suburb of Kolkata. She was attacked the second time as she returned home after lodging a police complaint about the first assault. She died of burn injuries in December. Some reports suggest suicide, others murder. Her death prompted furious street protests.
Now there is a rising chorus for the harshest punishment possible against the men who allegedly raped the 20-year-old tribal woman for having a relationship with the "wrong" man.

David King of Israel. 1a All the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron, and they said: "Look! We are your bone and your flesh. 2In days past, when Saul was still our king, you were the one who led Israel out in all its battles and brought it back. And the LORD said to you: You shall shepherd my people Israel; you shall be ruler over Israel."b 3Then all the elders of Israel came to the king in Hebron, and at Hebron King David made a covenant with them in the presence of the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel. 4David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years: 5in Hebron he was king over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he was king thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.c
Capture of Zion.* 6d Then the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who inhabited the land. They told David, "You shall not enter here: the blind and the lame will drive you away!" which was their way of saying, "David shall not enter here."e 7David nevertheless captured the fortress of Zion, which is the City of David. 8On that day David said: "All who wish to strike at the Jebusites must attack through the water shaft. The lame and the blind shall be the personal enemies of David." That is why it is said, "The blind and the lame shall not enter the palace."f 9David took up residence in the fortress which he called the City of David. David built up the city on all sides, from the Millo toward the center.g 10David became ever more powerful, for the LORD of hosts was with him.h 11i Hiram, king of Tyre, sent envoys to David along with cedar wood, and carpenters and masons, who built a house for David.j 12David now knew* that the LORD had truly established him as king over Israel and had exalted his kingdom for the sake of his people Israel.
David's Family in Jerusalem. 13k David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem after he had come from Hebron, and more sons and daughters were born to him. 14These are the names of those who were born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, 15Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, 16Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
Rout of the Philistines. 17When the Philistines had heard that David was anointed king over Israel, they marched out in force to come after him. When David heard this, he went down to the refuge.* 18Meanwhile the Philistines had come and deployed themselves in the valley of Rephaim.* 19David inquired of the LORD, "Shall I attack the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my power?" The LORD answered David: Attack, for I will surely deliver the Philistines into your power. 20So David went to Baal-perazim,* and he defeated them there. He said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me just as water breaks through a dam." Therefore that place was called Baal-perazim. 21The Philistines abandoned their gods there, and David and his men carried them away. 22Once again the Philistines came up and deployed themselves in the valley of Rephaim, 23and again David inquired of the LORD, who replied: Do not attack the front—circle behind them and come against them near the balsam trees. 24When you hear the sound of marching* in the tops of the balsam trees, act decisively, for then the LORD has already gone before you to strike the army of the Philistines. 25David did as the LORD commanded him, and routed the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.
* [5:6–12] David's most important military exploit, the taking of Jerusalem, is here presented before his battles with the Philistines, vv. 17–25, which took place earlier. The sense of vv. 6 and 8 is in doubt. Perhaps the Jebusites boasted that Jerusalem was impregnable, using a metaphorical or proverbial expression that claimed the city was defensible even by people not suited for military action. The saying then received a different sense (v. 8), to the effect that "the blind and the lame" were David's enemies. Mt 21:14 and Lk 14:13 seem to play off, and transform, this saying.
* [5:12] David now knew: Hiram's carpenters and masons built David a house of cedar, the very model of a Canaanite king's palace. This house then represented the consolidation of David's royal power, in the Canaanite mode, with Jerusalem as David's personal fiefdom and capital city.
* [5:17] Refuge: probably near Adullam (1 Sm 22:1–5).
* [5:18–25] The successive defeats of the Philistines in the valley of Rephaim southwest of Jerusalem had the effect of blocking their access to the mountain ridge near Gibeon, and confining them to their holdings on the coast and in the foothills beyond Gezer to the west and south.
* [5:20] Baal-perazim: here the title ba'al, "master, lord," refers to the Lord; perazim is the plural of perez, which means "breaking" or "bursting," as in 6:8.
* [5:24] Sound of marching: the wind in the treetops suggestive of the footsteps of the Lord and the heavenly host.

For many gardeners the only thing that really matters in a garden is the plants. They are the stars. Lawn, decking, paving and pergola are all just the frame for the flowers and foliage that decorate the garden.
Where to find those plants is of paramount importance. Around the country there are hundreds of wonderful nurseries where you can find beautiful plants, both old favourites and brand new varieties. Whether you are looking for a popular plant grown for centuries in our gardens or a rarity, recently found in a distant land, you will find all the plants for which you are searching in one of the nurseries listed on The Gardening Website. Some of them will send you plants by mail order, but you may have to visit others to pick up the plants you desire.
Around 900 garden nurseries are listed on The Gardening Website. They are listed as Garden Nurseries by county and as Garden Nurseries by town or city – most with details of the plants they sell so it will be easy to find exactly the one you are looking for.

The average cost of horse arena construction in Bushey is £30,000.
However, there are many factors which may impact the cost of building an outdoor riding arena, such as:
We can provide you with an accurate quotation after obtaining a few details about your project. So, contact our team of expert advisors to get a price on your riding surface.
A horse menage is an arena in which you can ride horses. Menages can be indoor or outdoor facilities and tend to be filled with washed and processed silica sand on top of a geotextile membrane.
Horse arenas are used for training horses, jumping, lunging and more. Many riding schools and personal stables install a riding arena to exercise their horses and ponies.
Our menages feature a rubber base to help support the horses' knees when running or jumping; we offer a range of fillers, such as silica sand, rubber chippings, high-performance wax and soil.
There are many types of menage surfacing, and the materials used can vary depending on usage and budget. We offer the following equestrian surfaces:
Equine silica sand for horse arenas is a popular material that most people consider for their Bushey site.
Silica sand's sub-angular-shaped grain particles and a low clay and silt content keep the surface compact, ensure it drains well and reduces dust.
We can supply high-grade equestrian sand for your site; the sand can also be mixed with other materials, such as rubber chippings and stabilising fibres.
Another surface option is a mix of sand and fibre, which offers a stable footing for all horsing events. You can select the colour of your fibre to suit the entire area of your site.
There are many benefits to a sand fibre mix; the pre-mixed surfacing prevents your horse from sinking into the sand and overworking its ligaments.
Fibres assist the drainage system, allowing adequate draining from the riding arena. However, they also retain some water which keeps the surface compact.
Menage stabilising fibre is a great alternative to sand or soil, or you can create a mix of materials to improve the total thickness of the surface.
Stabilising fibres allows optimal drainage while retaining water to keep the original excavation level solid.
The economic organic matter is 100% recycled and can be used in equestrian arenas, gallop tracks, and lunge pens.
Contact our equestrian arena builders near me to learn more about stabilising fibres for your riding arena in Bushey.
Chopped rubber chippings can be laid on silica sand to create extra insulation for the sub-base material. The rubber prevents the surface from frosting over in the colder months and retains moisture when the weather is dry.
Rubber chippings can be laid at 25m to 50m depending on the sub-base material, surface condition and personal requirements. Chopped rubber is cost-effective and 99.9% metal-free.
We would not recommend chopped rubber alone; however, it is a great addition to your silica sand arena build.
Horse ménages can be used for many different equine events. The multi-functional use is what makes the horse menages so popular!
Dressage is a common practice for any equestrian students, and we can create the ideal equine arena surface for dressage riders.
Most people use a pre-mixed surface for dressage arenas, as this allows for the perfect depth and layers for the rider.
Contact us today to start your project if you want a team of experts to install a dressage arena at your facility.
Show jumping is another popular equestrian sport that requires a suitable ground, depth, and sub-base. As the horses are leaping over jumps, the ground needs to be supportive to prevent injury as they land.
The ideal surface for a show jumping arena is rubber combined with silica sand, creating a firm yet bouncy sub-base.
We have installed thousands of show jumping arenas in Bushey across the UK, and our professional work has amassed many positive reviews.
Horse arenas can be used for all kinds of horse events, including the following:
Our high-quality ménages are perfect for any event, and our expert advisers can reassure you as to which material and geotextile membrane is best for your chosen sport and install a great quality riding arena construction for you.

Our Bushey experts will talk you through the entire process, from selecting the materials to the installation. You will have our support every step until you have a quality arena installed to your satisfaction.
Building a menage in Bushey requires careful planning and attention to various factors to ensure the safety and well-being of both horses and riders. Here are the steps to consider:
Constructing a horse menage in Bushey requires careful consideration of its foundation thickness, typically ranging between 350 and 400mm, depending on the chosen surface finish. Building directly on existing topsoil isn't advisable due to its high organic content, which hampers drainage and necessitates removal.
Instead of disposing of this soil, repurpose it to level the surrounding arena area or fill low spots for grass seeding. It's essential to avoid unnecessary expenses by minimizing trips to the landfill.
After clearing the topsoil, meticulous levelling is crucial, involving excavation in some areas and filling in others. Once this foundational level is achieved, the actual construction of the horse arena can commence.
Effective drainage is a vital aspect of a functional riding arena, ensuring year-round usability regardless of weather conditions. Proper drainage prevents weather-related wear and tear.
The widely employed technique, known as the Herringbone Pattern, involves a central main carrier drain, supplemented by lateral drain pipes extending alongside the arena. Additional drains span horizontally, connecting one side of the horse arena to the other.
Regardless of the drainage system chosen, the fundamental principle remains consistent: collecting drains channel water into the carrier. This central drain then feeds into the primary drainage network, mimicking a natural stream or ditch. Perforated or slotted drains are essential, enabling efficient water drainage.
After completing the drainage layer, it's essential to reinforce and prevent the layers from blending together. This phase, often referred to as the base layer, involves applying a Woven Membrane.
The next step in preparing your horse arena involves incorporating an aggregate that allows slight compaction while permitting water drainage.
Several natural materials, including granite, slate, flint, limestone, and sandstone, are suitable choices. It's crucial to ensure these materials are devoid of clay, coal, and sand.
Recycled aggregates, such as crushed concrete or brick, can also be utilised, provided they are free from wood or plastic components. It's not recommended to use bituminous products, as they tend to obstruct water passage over time.
The ideal sub-base material should range from 25 to 75mm without fines. This composition facilitates swift water drainage, preventing fines from clogging the drains.
For a standard 20m x 40m horse arena, a layer thickness of approximately 100mm is recommended. On top of the aggregate layer, a Non-Woven Geotextile Membrane, often known as Fleece Membrane, is necessary. This membrane serves to separate the layers, enabling water to permeate and enhancing the stability of the horse arena.
Several materials are available for the top finish of your horse arena. While silica sand is the most prevalent choice, alternatives like bark or rubber chippings can also be considered.
Our recommendation is to apply a layer of 50 to 100mm of sand in combination with any chosen finishing material. This sand layer serves to safeguard the geotextile membrane underneath.
If shredded carpet, rubber, or insulation materials are used, an additional sand layer may not be necessary. However, the overall thickness should be increased to 200 to 225mm for optimal performance.
There are many sizes to consider when considering your horse menage construction.
The most common size for a horse arena is 40 x 20m; however, if you want to build a dressage arena, you may opt for a 20 x 60m.
We can assess your site to advise on adequate measurements for your arena and the events you wish to carry out within the menage.
Fencing is popular in any horse arena as it keeps the enclosure safe and prevents bolts or escapes. If a horse scares within the arena, it will be retained to the site and won't be able to run into any danger, such as traffic or a field.
Our fencing can be made bespoke to suit your unique job; for arenas used for show jumping, a higher side may be required to prevent the horse from escaping.
A common fencing design is a three-bar post and rail system, as this helps prevent the rider or horse from getting hurt while they are in the arena.
The benefits of horse arena fencing include:
You may want to consider a kickboard for your horse arena, which is wooden panelling that acts as additional reinforcement to the interior walls of your menage.
A kickboard can help improve the safety of yourself and your horse and ensure no serious damage to your arena should your horse kick or get unruly.
Our kickboards can be manufactured to suit the aesthetics of your interior, so get in touch with us to discuss your designs.
The benefits of a horse arena kickboard include:
We can offer high-end lighting for your arena that meets the minimum requirements of CIBSE Lighting Guide 4 for equestrian sports.
The recommended average light level is 100lux, with a uniformity of 0.5 for jumping. These light levels prevent shadowing, which could cause a horse to spook.
Poor lighting can distract horses and make it more difficult for them to see, reducing your performance.
Call our expert equestrian arena builders in Bushey today if you are ready to discuss equine arena lighting for your bespoke equine construction.
The benefits of quality lighting in your horse arena include:
In most cases, planning permission is required for a ménage construction, especially if the site needs more excavation, drainage channels, and sub-base layers.
The drainage channels must be covered under the ground, which may require digging.
To discuss Bushey planning permission for equestrian equine menages, call our team!
The best footing for horses is angular sand, which we use for our sanded installations.
Rounded sand particles will cause the horse to sink deeper into the material, causing more strain on its ligaments.
A mixture of silica sand and rubber or fibre is advised, as the extra filler helps to create a sturdier foundation with effective drainage channels.
On average, your equestrian ménage depth should be around 4 to 5 inches, with a drainage bed under crushed concrete, silica sand, and either rubber or fibres.
The most important aspect of your arena is safety, so there is no use cutting corners to try to save money. You should never have an arena with a depth of fewer than 4 inches, as this may not be safe.
You may be able to build a horse arena yourself; however, if you do not have the right skills, it is always best to hire a professional.
If you attempt to build your arena on a strict budget, you may risk potential drainage issues, as an incorrect drainage bed may be used.
Drainage can be hard to install correctly, certain tools like a roller and a laser level need to be used, which can be difficult if you haven't used them before. Other techniques like the Herringbone Pattern need to be mastered as well.

The correct spelling is Manege, but it is often spelt as spelt manège.
A horse menage refers to an enclosed area where horses are trained and exercised.
It is typically an outdoor or indoor space with a flat and even surface, often made of sand, dirt, or a similar material, where riders can work with their horses on various exercises and training routines.
In a horse menage, riders can practice riding skills, train horses for specific disciplines such as dressage, show jumping, or reining, and work on various manoeuvres and techniques.
The menage provides a controlled environment for both beginners and experienced riders to work with their horses safely and effectively. It is an essential facility for horse training and equestrian sports.

NEW YORK (AP) — Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash has resigned from "Sesame Street" in the wake of an allegation that he had sex with an underage youth.
In its statement Tuesday, Sesame Workshop said "the controversy surrounding Kevin's personal life has become a distraction that none of us want," leading Clash to conclude "that he can no longer be effective in his job."
"This is a sad day for Sesame Street," the company said.
In a statement of his own, Clash said "personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work Sesame Street is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer. I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately."
As the announcement was made, a lawsuit was being filed in federal court in New York charging Clash with sexual abuse of a second youth. The lawsuit alleges that Cecil Singleton, then 15 and now an adult, was persuaded by Clash to meet for sexual encounters.
The lawsuit seeks damages in excess of $5 million.
Clash, who had been on "Sesame Street" for 28 years, created the high-pitched voice and child-like persona for Elmo, a furry, red Muppet that became one of the most popular characters on the show and one of the company's most lucrative properties. Sesame Workshop produces "Sesame Street" in New York.
Clash's exit followed a tumultuous week that began on Nov. 12 with a statement from the company that Clash had requested a leave of absence following the charge by a man in his early 20s that he had had a relationship with Clash when he was 16.
Clash denied the charge from that man, who has not been publicly identified, calling it "false and defamatory."
Clash, the 52-year-old divorced father of a grown daughter, acknowledged that he is gay in that statement.
Sesame Workshop, which said it was first contacted by the accuser in June, said it had launched an investigation that included meeting with the accuser twice and meeting with Clash. Its investigation found the charge of underage conduct to be unsubstantiated.
The next day Clash's accuser recanted his charge, describing his sexual relationship with Clash as adult and consensual. Clash responded that he was "relieved that this painful allegation has been put to rest."
In addition to his marquee role as Elmo, Clash had served as the show's senior Muppet coordinator and Muppet captain. He won 23 daytime Emmy awards and one prime-time Emmy.
In 2006, he published an autobiography, "My Life as a Furry Red Monster," and was the subject of the 2011 documentary "Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey."
Though it remained unclear who might take over for Clash performing as Elmo, other "Sesame Street" puppeteers have been trained to serve as his stand-in, Sesame Workshop said.
"Elmo is bigger than any one person," the company said last week.
