Provide more time increments for customers to book time with me
Bookings can only start on 15m, 30m and 60m increments right now. I'd like to have bookings start on 5m increments.
I'm happy to let you know that we recently completed work that gives you more control over bookable time increments in Bookings. More specifically, we made two changes – first, we added more pre-set time increments for you to choose from (from 5 mins to 4 hours with several choices in between), and second, we added a "Custom" control that lets you specify the bookable time increment for your customers. These features were widely requested by Bookings customers and, if they not both already available for you, they will soon be available to try in our Web app. Please note that these features are still in development for our iOS and Android apps and will ship in the coming months.
You can find the new controls that let you pick the needed booking increment in two places in the Web app. They appear on the "Booking page" page, next to the "Time increments" label, where they can be set globally for all services set up in Bookings, and they can be found in the "Scheduling policy" section on specific "Service details" pages accessed by either creating a new service or by editing a service from the list on the "Services" page in Bookings and then deselecting the "Use the default scheduling policy" option. This sets the bookable time increment at the specific service level, if that's what you need. Please note that the "Custom" option, once it rolls-out to your account, is found at the bottom of the list of pre-set increments described above.
On your booking page (the page you share with your customers to make it easy for them to grab time with you) your customers will now be able to book you during the time increments you need.
Please give this new feature a try by changing the booking increments and making some test appointments to see how it works and to see what happens. We hope this meets your booking needs but if not please do not hesitate to let us know by clicking on one of the Feedback links you'll find in the product. Thanks for your feedback and thanks for using Bookings.

We need the option to book a full 24 hour day from midnight to midnight.
My service needs 20m increments, hope they add it soon!
Oliver commented
This is already done. In one tenant i saw f.e. 45, 90 Min. Good Job! Thx.
Amin commented
How is this progressing ?
Vince commented
Any Update on this?
And different times for different services.
Oliver commented
We need 45Min.
AJ commented
We hire out office boardrooms.
We need the client to be able to specify a time range (or number of hours required).
I just realised it doesn't currently allow this - otherwise would have been an ideal solution.
We currently make bookings over the phone, and use O365 resource calendars.
Tara commented
I agree with Eric that we should be able to set the increments ourselves.
Julio E. Alvarez commented
We need 2h appointment slots! Looking forward for this update!
Tim c commented
I love the fact that you started. Can we get an update.
Douglas Levy commented
This is a really important thing for me. It's bollixed me up already a few times. In my work, I actually need :10 and :20 minute blocks frequently. (I have same issue with FindTime.)
Eric commented
It seems odd that there is a limit on this. We should be able to set the time and go.
Need this also. Have a service of 20 minuten and now a forced pauze ...
email@example.com commented
1.5 bookings please?
Greg Wilkinson commented
Also for my services I need them to span days or even weeks so the time is blocked out for that employee
Dave PIket commented
I's like to have bookings in 2 hour increments

While this is world news, given that Port Townsend has played such a larger than life role in the anti-vaccine skeptic crowd, with such validation of the inaccurate claims coming from the local Townsend Newsletter over the years, and the low vaccination rate in the county, I thought I would include this.
In today's Guardian they include a story about "Trapped in a hoax: survivors of conspiracy theories speak out", including an update on Dr. Paul Offit, who has been one of the leaders on speaking out against anti-vaccine skeptics. He took on the now discredited British gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield and setup the Vaccine Education Center. Read the whole sordid tale of those that attacked him, at
Closer to home, a measles outbreak in southwest Washington Clark County, another hotbed of anti-vaccine skeptics and the county with the lowest rate of vaccinations in the state, has now been confirmed to have moved to South Seattle.
A King County resident contracted measles after traveling to Clark County, where an outbreak has spread to at least 23 people, public-health officials said Wednesday.
Portland is also at high risk, due to low vaccination rates.
As the Times article points out, "you can get it just by being in a room where a person with measles has been."
Many, including this blog, have been warning that we are likely to pay the price for this hoax having been spread around the world. No other vaccine-preventable disease causes as many deaths. (according to the Cochrane database of Systematic Reviews August 2013)
If you want to educate yourself to measles, start here.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — With the 90th Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade just over a week away, a new ISIS magazine is promoting vehicle attacks like the deadly Bastille Day incident in Nice, France.
As CBS2's Andrea Grymes reported, the NYPD was trying late Monday afternoon to calm concerns after the magazine called the parade "an excellent target."
The latest Rumiyah magazine included pictures of the parade – and described in graphic detail how to kill the most people by using a large load-bearing truck.
The magazine writes, "… a vehicle is plunged at a high speed into a large congregation of [unbelievers]…leaving behind a trail of carnage."
It also writes that a prerequisite of a successful operation is conducting it solely to please Allah.
The magazine also suggests other more general targets, such as pedestrian-congested streets, outdoor markets, and political rallies.
NYPD Deputy Director of Intelligence and Counter-Terrorism John Miller said at a news conference Monday that the department is planning for all types of threats in order to keep everybody safe.
"We plan every major event the way the Police Department has always planned them, which is for traffic and crowds, but today, in a way that's different from the way they were always planned, which is with a complex counterterrorism overlay," Miller said.
Miller said the NYPD has been preparing for the possibility of such an attack ever since the Nice attacks.
"After the Nice attacks in France, where a truck rammed into crowds at Bastille Day celebrations, the NYPD took a very proactive stance. The Intelligence Bureau identified 181 locations that rent trucks to the public in the metropolitan area."
The bureau visited 135 of the locations, Miller said.
Miller emphasized that this was not the first time that the NYPD had thought of such a scenario.
"This is not something that occurred to us over the weekend when we saw the article in ISIL's online magazine," he said.
As CBS2's Tracee Carrasco reported, Miller said the NYPD is planning for any and all types of attacks.
"It's not a one-threat approach, it's an all-threat approach," he said.
Last year, the parade festivities came just two weeks after the terror attacks in Paris killed 130 people. The NYPD had an enormous security presence to ensure a safe day for all, including 2,500 officers assigned to the parade.
But outside Macy's Herald Square Monday, there was a range of reaction.
Esther Mittelman of Israel said she was "very nervous. It makes me nervous even being in Manhattan, but I had to come."
"We live in a world where that's always a possibility, so I don't know, you have to keep living your life," another woman said.
"If we started thinking a crowd over a certain size becomes a target, then we just stop living," said Andrew Phillips of Ditmas Park, Brooklyn.
"You take threats seriously, but you can't live your life afraid," said Sarah LaBonte of Midtown.
The propaganda magazine is translated into several languages to try to influence the most people. The latest edition said the vehicle attack was "superbly demonstrated" in the Nice attack, where 86 people were killed.
Former FBI agent and security expert Manny Gomez said parade goers next week must be vigilant, but he believes law enforcement is on top of any potential threat.
"Time and time again, the NYPD and other authorities have proven that the Thanksgiving Day Parade is one of the safest places to be during that time period," Gomez said.
In a statement, Macy's said safety is a top priority, and the store is working closely with the NYPD in a security plan.
A federal law enforcement official told the New York Post there's no credible specific threat against the parade.

Improve Your Search Ranking with Yoast SEO
I have been dong a lot of reading on SEO and attending Webinars. One of the most powerful ways to improve your search ranking is to have really good page descriptions and page titles. Previously I had used All in One SEO, which is great if you want to do everything! But, my focus is to simplify and provide tools that allow my clients to easily add value to their site as they do their own Blog's and Page's. I tried out Yoast after reading many reviews and it is definitely a simpler tool and more importantly, it provides incredibly clear instruction on each Blog or Page as far as what to do and whether your target keywords match your page title, which match your page description. When you install Yoast, this video is shown to help you understand exactly how to use the on page tools that they provide.
Love it!

Bokaap is found at the bottom of signal hill. Bokaap is a colorful multicultural area popularly known for its colorful houses and cobbled streets. Bokaap was formerly a township known as the malay quarter and is a historical centre of the Cape malay culture. We went to bokaap and walked around marveling at the beautiful houses and took a couple of pictures albeit the feeling that we were intruding on peoples homes. Fortunately there were so many tourists also doing the same thing which made it a lot more easier. When in Cape town make sure you visit bokaap and have a look in the museum there to learn more about this beautiful area.
From bokaap we walked to Long street which is undeniably Cape towns party central. We wanted to explore a bit during the day before seeing it at night. Long Street is characterized by bars and pubs lining up the entire street, curio shops offering the best of south African authentic jewelry and also from across Africa, fast food joints etc. Along the street you will also find travel agencies that offer you services including activities that you can do while in cape town. Have a look, grab a brochure and look at your options before settling for something. I found the cutest tiniest vintage shop on long street selling some vintage clothes, records and all that is old and gold. Ring the bell and browse in the shop as you might get lucky and find something to buy :).
It was finally time to party in long street and we kick started our night at an Irish pub called The Dubliner. It was a live music sort of night and they had this lady who belted out tunes so well as we watched a football match on the many screens in there. It was also my first time to see an ATM inside a pub! LOL. Like hoow?why? He he I honestly thought oh my!not today satan!. Do you think its a smart idea having an ATM machine inside a club?
The dubliner is a pretty cool place to kick start your night, you will be able to have a conversation in there as the music is not too loud and it has a great ambiance. After a few drinks we left the dubliner and headed to Fiction bar which according to google is the best club playing alternative music on long street. True to their word, fiction bar is that and much more. The club was happening and as the new millennials say it was "lit". They have an entrance fee of 30 rand unlike The Dubliner, but it was totally worth it and we ended up going back to party there the next day!.
We made a new friend who we named khal drogo because of his resemblance to the Dothraki leader(Game of thrones). He had previously lived in Lamu for two years and was so happy to meet some kenyans!. He announced loudly to everyone that was willing to listen that Lamu is the best place to live in the entire world!. However he was so not happy with us for having never been to Lamu and we assured him that its been on our sights for a while now and we would be visiting soon.
We got invited to the best club(his words) in all of cape town ,ace and spades who were having a rock night that was insane!!.It had been close to 4 years since I last did a rock gig and our new friend insisted we needed to let loose in the coolest bar in the cape!! Let me tell you!this place is insane!the deejay rocked us so bad!. So much headbanging took place and as a result I could barely move for two full days!! ha ha jeez that night literally took away my next 2 years of partying. Ha ha am done!!..jk. I wish you all the best if you ever find yourself at this bar, be sure to tell me how it went and beware of kahl drogo and his suggestions as you are bound to have way too much fun:-).
For cocktails night we decided to go to Cafe Mojito that seemed to have great reviews online. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri which was so nice and got to play some of my favorite records on their juke box. We also had a few drinks at Joes beerhouse which is directly opposite fiction bar.When it come to the night life, Cape Town has a lot to offer and there is something for everyone including party buses if the club life is not for you!! We went to long street at least three nights the entire time we were in Cape town and had so much fun!! he he. My advice is to be prepared for just about anything on Long street and most important, have fun!.
Cape town is well connected by the train and most people depend on the train to get them to work, home, school etc. We wanted to see as much as it was possible and we decided to take the train from pine lands all the way to Simon's town .
The view along the way is amazing and as you get farther away from the city center the ocean comes into sight . The waves crashing on the rocks as you go past them and it somewhat feels like you could touch the water from your seat on the train. Our plan was to go all the way to Simon's town which is close to the cape peninsula but we ended up getting off at Kalk bay.
Random plans are always the best, somebody had recommended kalk bay and am happy we stopped there. Kalk bay is a small fishing village buzzing with local fishermen, antique shops, bohemian arty vibes and has a super relaxed vibe. Its capes best hidden secret and is hard to believe this retro village is actually a part of Cape town. Having one of the best reefs for surfing in Cape Town, this village is buzzing with loads of surfers from all over the world.
Our first stop was the Cape to Cuba restaurant which was so nice, and we felt like we had been transported to Cuba. Right from the dressing,the cigars, the cocktails, the art, the food, the music..*sigh*. Beautiful. I now feel like I have been to Cuba! Ha ha. The food and cocktails are amazing and the view of the Atlantic ocean caps it all.
After a lovely meal we took a walk to look around and our first stop was the bookshop and we browsed around for a bit.
There is also the kalk bay theatre that is famous for hosting plays , poetry nights, live music and open mic. Its one of kalk bays most visited site and I highly recommend a visit. We then walked down to the harbor where you will spot many fishing boats and if you come in early in the day you might spot the famous fish auction with the local fishermen. Right on the harbor is kalk bays best hidden secret ,kalkys fish and chips. This restaurant is thronged by both locals and visitors and has the best fish and chips in all of Cape town!.
Fish hoek is also another coastal town found on the false bay same as kalk bay side of the Cape peninsula. Fish hoek is around 15 minutes walk from kalk bay and we decided to walk there and take the train back to cape town city centre from there. As you walk on the beach you can spot sign posts warning you of shark sightings and precautions you should take. That scared me a bit as a kid I remembered that I had read so many shark horror stories from South Africa.
We had considered doing shark cage diving and I was willing to face my fears and brave it out. However we met other people that had paid to do it and when they did it seemed that the sharks just did not show up!. Which sucks because there is no refund :(. So before you do it make sure you do your research properly. If you get the chance go all the way to Simon's town and maybe from there you can go to the cape peninsula and even boulder beach where you can spot penguins :).
On our last Sunday in cape town there was the cape cycle tour. Cape Town is heaven when it comes to outdoor activities as it has so much to offer and basically there is everything for everyone . Every year Cape Town hosts a big cycling event( Cape Town cycle tour) which attracts cyclists from all over the world. When we got to Cape Town the event was scheduled for 12th March and it was quite evident from the huge billboards at the airport that it was a huge event.
Our Uber driver excitedly told us about it and made us promise not to miss it. However it seemed that God had other plans because on that day it got so windy that the event had to be cancelled for safety reasons. The wind was insane and there was even a few casualties as the bikes were flying all over making it impossible to cycle. Such a bummer!!. If cycling is your thing this should not discourage you from doing the Cape Town Cycle tour in future. Let us know if you decide to do it next year, we would love to connect and maybe share tips on how to ensure your bike does not fly ;).
This is just but some of the things we got around to doing and doesn't mean that is all that cape town has to offer. There is so much you do and soon I will do a post a guide on things that you can do, how to get around, accommodation etc. I hope that I will inspire you to put down Cape Town on your bucket list if you haven't done it already!.
Thanks guys for reading this!<3.

Whistler is undoubtedly one of the world's greatest ski destinations. An incredible snow record, buzzing après scene and quality hotels combine with the fun and friendly Canadian attitude to make Whistler a truly special winter destination.
There are plenty of activities for non-skiers such as dog sledging, sleigh rides and snowmobile rides, not to mention the huge array of shops and spa facilities.

Competency 1.8: An ability to understand the patient's expectations and aspirations and manage empathetically situations where these cannot be met
This competency revolves predominantly around the "human" elements of the eye examination and practice.
Best Form Evidence
There is no compulsory evidence requested to demonstrate this competency. The Assessor could assess this competency via Direct Observation. But, most likely the Assessor will request primary evidence from a selection of your Patient Records. Given the number of records that you are likely to have for this competency, your Logbook could also be used as evidence. The Assessor may request that you pull a selection of records out to view on the day, so ensure that the information recorded is consistent. Supplementary evidence could also be obtained, for example, via methods of Case Scenario or Questions.
Real patients have expectations and aspirations. An optometrist will need to develop the skills to explain to patients these may not be met as situations requiring sensitivity and tact are encountered every day.
Example scenarios:
- A person with ARMD and low visual acuity, for example, may be looking for a pair of spectacles that will enable them to read N5
- A young boy may dream of a career in the Royal Marines but who is unaware that he is colouring defective
- The patient wanting a varifocal lens with a high level of anisometropia
- A bilateral RP patient of working age may wish to begin driving lessons, but acuities and fields do not meet the standard
- A dry eye sufferer wanting contact lenses
- A person with glaucoma wanting refractive laser surgery
- A patient who has just heard about a 'miracle cure' for his wet macula degeneration on the daily news
In fact the list is endless and you may find that you encounter patients on a daily basis. Have at least three patient records ready to discuss with your Assessor. Make sure that they are recorded consistently and that you have recorded detail regarding the advice given and actions taken, if any.
Unacceptable Evidence
Disparaging behaviour clearly does not convey the right approach. The Assessor will not sign off a competency if the trainee is unable to confidently and competently address unrealistic needs of patients sympathetically.
Where relevant or appropriate, the Assessor will look not only for good explanation but alternative solutions wherever possible.

Bushwhacked! is a thirteen-part series that brings the bush to the 'burbs! Hosts Brandon Walters and Kayne Tremills set off on the adventure of a lifetime to remote corners of Australia, meeting the country's weird and wonderful wildlife, and learning about Indigenous rites and rituals.
Brandon sets Kayne a new challenge each episode to track down one of Australia's unique animals. But it is as much about the journey as it is about the destination. Along the way, Brandon introduces Kayne to friends from local Indigenous communities, who get the boys involved in everything from traditional smoking ceremonies to investigating local bush tucker and bush medicine.
Bushwhacked! is a fun-fuelled, adrenalin-pumping, fast-paced adventure following these two colourful characters – one an ice-cool bushman; the other a skateboarding city-slicker who's never been into the heart of Aboriginal Australia.

The New "Sleeping Giant" in California Politics:The Growth of Asian Americans September 12, 2006Posted by peterong in Asian American Christian Artists, Politics.
The New "Sleeping Giant" in California Politics:
|Sept. 7, 2006
Letisia Marquez
Click Here for Press Release
Los Angeles, CA (September 6, 2006) – In the 1980s and 1990s, Hispanics were considered the "sleeping giant" in California politics because of their growing numbers. Asian Americans are now the new "sleeping giant" and are at a point where Hispanics were about two decades ago.(1) They have significantly increased their potential power at the polls in California, according to an analysis conducted by researchers affiliated with the UCLA Asian American Studies Center and with the UC AAPI (Asian American & Pacific Islander) Policy Initiative. The analysis uses data from the 2005 American Community Survey (ACS) released on August 15 and 29, 2006 by the U.S. Census Bureau, along with previously released data from the Census Bureau.(2)
The number of Asian Americans in California eligible to register to vote (citizens who are 18 and older) climbed by over a half million between 2000 and 2005, from 2 million to 2.5 million. The Asian American share of the a proportion of the state's population eligible to register as voters increased from 10% to 12% during this time period.
Two factors behind the emergence of the new "sleeping giant" are the overall increase in the total Asian American population and the higher rate of citizenship. Between 2000 and 2005, the number of Asian Americans residing in California's households increased from 3.8 million to 4.7 million, accounting for 38% of the net gain of 2.2 million persons in California's population.(3)
Along with population growth, Asian Americans experienced an increase in their citizenship rate — 71% of Asian American adults are U.S. citizens by birth or naturalization, representing an increase from 67% in 2000.(4) These figures show that Asian Americans are not an alien population, but a population that has become fully integrated into American society through citizenship.
The growth in the potential Asian American electorate over the last five years is a continuation of a pattern that began in the 1990s. In 1990, there were slightly more than one million Asian American adult citizens, comprising about 6% of all adult citizens in the state.(5) If recent trends continue, there will be over 3 million Asian American adults eligible to register to vote by the end of the decade, making up about 14% of all Californians eligible to register.
The growth in the absolute number of Asian Americans and those eligible to become voters can have political ramifications. California State Assembly Member Judy Chu states that the overall growth of the Asian American population will open up new opportunities and challenges:
"The incredible growth of Asian Americans in California and in the United States brings as much opportunity as it does challenges. Asian Americans continue to contribute to the cultural diversity and economic success of this nation, but the growing population also means that public services and elected representation will need to grow to accommodate the unique needs of our community.""
Community leaders point to the potential impact on a number of public policy issues. Vivian Huang, Legislative Advocate of Asian Americans for Civil Rights & Equality, states,
"With increasing population growth, Asian Americans are poised to dramatically escalate their political representation and power in politics and highlight key issues important to the community, such as civil rights, immigrant rights, and access to language assistance."
This opinion is widely shared by other community leaders, including Lisa Hasegawa (Executive Director of the National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development), JD Hokoyama (President & CEO of Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc.), and Elena Ong (former member, California Commission for Women).
According to Professor Don Nakanishi, a political scientist and director of UCLA's Asian American Studies Center,
"This growth has contributed to the increasing number of Asian American state and local elected officials in California and nationwide. The Asian American political infrastructure of voters, donors, politicians, and community groups has also undergone remarkable growth and maturation, and will likely have an increasingly significant impact on state and national politics."
However, there are still barriers to fully translating the population numbers into voting power. According to Paul Ong, an economist and professor in UCLA's School of Public Affairs, "The challenge is to convert the growing numbers of Asian American citizens into voters." Previous research and data for California from the 2002 and 2004 November Current Population Survey show that Asian American citizens are less likely to register and vote than non-Hispanic whites and African Americans.(6) (See Table 3.)
For the upcoming November elections, community activists have focused on voter registration and voter-turnout drives. David Lee, Executive Director of the Chinese American Voters Education Committee, notes
"Our bilingual voter registration efforts are yielding record numbers of Asian American voters in the immigrant community. Thanks to absentee ballots Asian American voter turnout has been growing rapidly."
Leading Asian American scholars believe that this group can become an effective voting bloc by formulating a common political agenda both among Asian Americans and across racial lines. The Asian American population is culturally, linguistically and economically heterogeneous. Despite these divisions, Professor Yen Le Espiritu, a sociologist in the department of Ethnic Studies at UC San Diego notes that, "history has shown that Asian Americans can overcome differences to build viable pan-Asian political coalitions to promote and protect both their individual and their united interests." Moreover, Professor Michael Omi, professor of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley, predicts, "different racial and ethnic groups will increasingly see the necessity of defining areas of common political concern and mobilizing significant voter blocs to wield political power."
The UCLA Asian American Studies Center is the nation's leading research center in the field of Asian American Studies and houses a Census Information Center, which will continue to analyze data from the ACS as they become available.
The UC AAPI Policy Initiative brings together University of California researchers and community organizations to conduct research focusing on the policy concerns of the AAPI community. Attachments: Graphs; Tables; Technical Note; Contact Sheet
(1) In 1990, Hispanics made up 14% of adult citizens in California. In 2005, Asian Americans approach that level, with 12% of California's adult citizens. See Table 2: Percentages of California adults who are eligible to register to vote by race.
(3) The 2005 American Community Survey covered only individuals living in households, that is, it excluded those living in institutions, college dormitories, and other group quarters. In California, Asian Americans represented over 13.4% of the total population in 2005, an increase from 11.8% in 2000. California's population grew by 2.2 million (33 million to 35.2 million), with the Asian American population growing by over 850,000 (3.8 million to 4.7 million). Nationally, the Asian American percentage of the nation's population grew from 4% to 4.8%, an increase of over 3 million Asian Americans (10.8 million to 13.8 million). The national population increased by over 14 million persons, with Asian Americans accounting for more than 20% of this national population increase.
(6) The national statistics for Asian American citizens are very similar, and there is very little difference in the statistics for U.S. born Asian American citizens and naturalized Asian Americans.
Technical Note
The statistics in this press release are based on tabulations of the 5% Public Use Micro Samples from the 1990 and 2000 Census, the Public Use Micro Sample from the 2005 American Community Survey, and the voting supplements of the November 2002 and 2004 Current Population Survey. To adjust for differences in coverage (the Census includes persons in group quarters and the ACS does not), the analysis includes tabulations decennial data for only the population residing in households. Those eligible to register to vote are defined as individuals 18 years or older and citizens by birth or by naturalization. Because the Bureau of the Census uses two questions to collect information on ethnicity and race, the following hierarchical procedure is used to create exclusive categories:
1.) Anyone who self reported being Black (Black alone or in combination with one or more other races) is classified as Black; then
2.) Anyone who self reported being Asian (Asian alone or in combination with one or more other races) is classified as Asian; then
3.) Anyone who self reported being Hispanic is classified as Hispanic; then
4.) Anyone who self reported being White alone and did not report to be Hispanic is classified as being non-Hispanic White; and then
5) Anyone else is classified as Other.
The analysis for this press release was conducted by Professor Paul Ong, and the press release was prepared with the assistance of Elena Ong, Oiyan (Anita) Poon, Don Nakanishi, Elsa Scheven, Veronica Terriquez, and Christina Lee.

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who applies treatment in the restoration of the tooth and strengthening the general dental structure. For most surgical cosmetic procedures, a prosthodontist Henderson may be consulted for treatment.
Prosthodontic treatment offers a large array of reconstructive and enhancement dental procedures.
At Dr. George Harouni dental clinic, we offer top-notch prosthodontic procedures with specialized dental specialists. Some of the main common treatments we offer include repairing damaged teeth.
Damage to the tooth can be caused by various different factors. Poor oral hygiene is one of the most common causes of damaged teeth. In some cases, damaged teeth can lead to worse dental complications that will cost much more to treat.
For tooth infections, we normally perform a thorough check on your dental structure to ensure that we get the source of the infection as well as the extent.
Our prosthodontist Henderson can provide tooth repair services like fitting veneers, dental fillings, dental crowns, and dental implants. Depending on the procedure selected, the dentist may choose to apply surgical or non-surgical procedures.
Missing teeth can be quite a nuisance especially if they interfere negatively with your smile.
At Dr. George Harouni dental clinic, we offer various tooth replacement options for both adults and adolescents.
Depending on your preference of tooth replacement, you can consult our prosthodontist Henderson for the most suitable option for you.
One of the common tooth replacement options we provide is dentures. Whether they are partial dentures or complete dentures, our prosthodontist can get them fitted. The best thing about dentures is that they restore functionality in the whole set of teeth. Visit us today for the best tooth replacement services in the city.
Dental implants are some of the best dental appliances when it comes to tooth replacement. Given their bright shine and strong surface, dental implants are designed to look like normal teeth such that no one will notice that you have implants on.
Dental implants are normally rooted in the jawbone making them firm and hard to dislodge. Today, you can get dental implants for an entire set of teeth due to the new all on four implants. Instead of getting a single implant for each missing tooth, our dentist will place four strong implants along the gum to support the entire set of dental crowns to be placed.
Visit us today at Dr. George Harouni dental clinic to enjoy a range of dental implants.
At Dr. George Harouni dental clinic, we also offer dental reconstruction services like repairing a lip or palate cleft.
A cleft usually occurs as a birth defect and affects the general appearance of the individual.
Our prosthodontist Henderson offers efficient cleft repair through applying dental surgery. We also offer treatment of the jaw caused by injury or other complications. One of the most common ones is TMJ disorder treatment.
TMJ treatment can be done in a variety of ways depending on the cause of the disorder.
Call our Las Vegas, NV (Henderson, NV) office.
Why wait until tomorrow for a smile you can have today?

Often we are caught waiting on something, making promises about improving or getting to where we "want to be". Right now I don't have x or y and I'm not ready. I used to be… I was…I want. It's human.
There are people that adore you as is. The ones you never have to think twice about being yourself in front of. It's a beautiful thing. There are those who want to know you…not what you have or don't have, not where you're going or where you've been. They've gotten to see enough of you that they are perfectly happy to let the rest become what it may.
There are people who want to be there for the ups and downs. The one's who see right through your pride, your armor. They know you at your most vulnerable. They probably know your fears and doubts without you every having shared. They are ready to take it on, the good, the bad, the ugly. As is-damaged or changed in some way from the life that led you to them.
Truth is we are all a work in progress. What you may think makes a person appear to have it all together may be so very distorted. Laugh at the mistakes you made, the growth you've had, the challenges you've overcome and the ones yet to be. Chances are there will be many. Spend more time smiling. They like you that way.
Give yourself as is… at least promise to think about it.

Mr. Rogers' documentary creates a beautiful day in the 'Neighborhood'
"Won't You Be My Neighbor?" - ★ ★ ★ ½
He was a man of faith who inspired faith in man.
Fred Rogers, an ordained Presbyterian minister, became the unlikeliest TV superstar.
He planned a career in the seminary until he saw a man get a pie in the face on early television. Instead of merely dismissing TV as a "vast wasteland" (as Northwestern University grad and former Federal Communications Commission chief Newton Minow famously did in 1961), Rogers saw an opportunity to create positive programming for America's children.
Morgan Neville's short and extremely sweet documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbor?" chronicles Rogers' pioneering journey as the creator and host of the PBS series "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood."
For three decades, Mr. Rogers came into people's living rooms, donned a cardigan sweater and proceeded to defy every conventional rule about how to create a successful TV show.
Mr. Rogers' sparse neighborhood sets looked crude and cheap. He often employed silence in his talks, once allowing 60 seconds to quietly tick down on-screen to demonstrate the length of a minute.
Rogers, or sometimes his sock puppet alter-ego Daniel Striped Tiger, talked to children frankly about death, divorce, assassination and other topics, but with a generous dose of reassurance geared to dissipate fear and affirm youngsters' feelings.
When news broadcasts showed white racists refusing to allow black citizens into public swimming pools, Mr. Rogers invited policeman Mr. Clemmons (African-American actor/singer Francois Clemmons) to take off his socks and shoes and join him in a wading pool.
Neville's documentary covers a lot of material in short bursts, interviewing Rogers' co-workers, wife and children (one says he felt like he'd been raised by "the second Christ").
This iconoclast defied preconceptions of masculinity with his pastel color choices, gentle nature and nurturing voice. "Tomorrow" talk show host Tom Snyder even inquired about Rogers' sexuality, bluntly asking "Are you square?"
His gay co-star Clemmons confirms that Rogers never as much emanated "a gay vibe."
Rogers comes off so clean and conflict free in Neville's doc that boneheaded media commentators actually did this movie a favor by stirring up some controversy. They charged Rogers was personally responsible for creating a generation of entitled narcissists -- just because he viewed all children as "special."
Rogers died of cancer in 2003 after a lifetime of selfless dedication, first to America's kids, then to public broadcasting.
We see how he charmed $20 million in PBS funding from a stingy Senate Subcommittee on Communications in 1969.
He made the most of this beautiful day.

- "Bump my buffers!"
- ―Toby
Toby's Tree Treat, republished in 2011 as Toby's Treat and as Christmas Tree Treat in Australia, is a magazine story.
It is snowing as Toby sets off to take workmen to the quarry with Henrietta. At a junction, they meet Emily who is hauling a Christmas tree on a flatbed. She is taking it to Wellsworth where it would be positioned in the Town Square. Next Toby and Henrietta meet up with Arthur who is taking a post van to Wellsworth. Toby is upset; everyone seems to be more useful than he at Christmas time.
Soon Toby arrives at the quarry with the workmen. Toby helps to move some stone, then he and Henrietta take the night staff home. When Henrietta is empty once more, Toby sets off for Wellsworth. When they arrive at the junction where they had met Arthur, Toby spots a parcel beside the tracks. Toby's driver collects it and they continue on their way. Further up the line, they spy another parcel; Arthur's post van's door must have slid open. Toby carries on his way, stopping to pick up parcels along the way.
Shortly, Toby and Henrietta roll into Wellsworth. Emily and Arthur are still there. Arthur is worried, he was just going to go looking for his missing parcels. Arthur is very pleased when Toby returns the parcels he had found. Toby is very happy; he had been very useful this year.

text: This talk argues that patent law played a crucial role in the transformation of software into a commodity in the late 1960s. It contends that software firms started to consider selling their programs because their programmers began to believe in what I call the "gospel of software patenting." By this, I mean the expectation that patent law would enable them to sell their programs without the need to rely on the nondisclosure agreements that they normally incorporated into their leasing contracts. Advancing this gospel among academic and corporate programmers was a patent lawyer named Morton Jacobs, who would later become the first lawyer to a secure software patent for a software firm. At the gospel's core was a simple promise: by selling a program, a firm was not necessarily relinquishing its intellectual property rights over it.

Foundation degrees will not be the key to reaching the government's targets for higher education, according to research seen by The THES . Instead, some 250,000 traditional full-time undergraduate places will be needed to meet the growing demand for higher education.
The research, by Libby Aston of the Higher Education Policy Institute, warns government that demand, not supply, determines how many young people enter higher education.
The report takes the same approach as an earlier analysis of supply and demand that demonstrated how the established universities were absorbing the growth in students at the expense of new universities.
It notes that the number of people taking subdegree qualifications, such as Higher National Diplomas and Higher National Certificates, has plummeted in recent years. Even when the figures for foundation degrees are added, the pattern of decline persists.
A substantial proportion of additional student numbers allocated to foundation degrees was not filled. And, while it is difficult to assess the demand for foundation degrees as the qualification is so new, initial indications are that they are most popular with people aged over 30 years, who are excluded from the government target.
Foundation degrees are currently most successful in public-sector-driven subjects.
The report also cites forthcoming research by JM Consulting showing the number of work-based higher education learners who are not doing foundation degrees to be "extremely small".
Demand for higher education was flat from 1994 onwards, according to a new and more accurate measure of participation devised by staff at the Higher Education Funding Council for England. However, there are signs that participation began to increase in 2000 and 2001, the last years for which data are available.
There has been no change, over the six years from 1996, in the type of higher education demanded by different age groups. Mature students tend to study part time, while the vast majority of young students still study full time.
Similarly, over the same period, the ratio of entrants to full-time undergraduate courses with academic, vocational or other qualifications has remained static. Most of the growth has been in young full-time undergraduates. The increase is due to an expansion in the number of school-leavers and also indicates that drop-out rates have fallen.
In future years, performance at A level is also expected to improve following reforms to the 16 to 19 qualification structure. In particular, these mean that all students taking the new qualifications are encouraged to take four AS levels in their first year.
All students who pass these exams are automatically qualified for university entrance at institutions that view an AS level as equivalent to half an A level. This will create further demand from young people with university entrance qualifications.
Moreover, some 50 per cent of HND students go on to a full degree. A similar number could be expected to want to progress from foundation degrees.
The report notes that government targets have had a limited impact on demand for higher education, both in terms of the total number of students and in terms of the type of higher education demanded.
In the early 1990s, growth was significantly higher than government projections. However, for all but one of the past six years, the maximum student number has been undershot.
Since 1999, when the government set the target for 50 per cent of young people to have experienced higher education by 2010, the number of additional students has borne little relation to the government's plans.
It concludes: "Arguably, if no other places are made available then students are obliged to take whatever mode or level or type of higher education places are provided at whatever institution they are made available. However, recent history demonstrates that this has not been the case. Either additional places were made available by the higher education institutions at the mode and level demanded by the students, or the students chose not to enter higher education at all.
"Either way, this experience suggests that demand for higher education is not elastic in this way. There are important lessons here for the future if we wish to try and steer demand: the supply of places does not dictate the demand for higher education," the reports says.
