Hi! I am Stephanie Selinger, a nutritional therapy practitioner (NTP), and I am passionate about helping others on their journey to better health. I am also a wife and mother to a sweet, determined girl who inspires me every day. I also enjoy teaching functional fitness classes at Barre3 in Portland, practicing yoga, hiking, and cooking. As a professional in the business world for many years, the stress and lifestyle took a toll on my body and mind.
I took an interest in holistic approaches to healing the body, which led me to overhaul my diet, the personal care products I used on my body, the products I used in my home, and my self-care practices. As a result I became a Beauty counter consultant to help spread the word about safer cosmetics and share my passion for non-toxic living. Ready to take my own health to the next level, I left my finance career behind and embarked on a new journey, in a new city, and began studying holistic nutrition with the Nutritional Therapy Association.
Given our lives today, I know that living a healthy, vibrant life requires compromise, balance, and grace. I started A Healthy Balance to help people restore their health and vitality through achievable and actionable changes in their nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset.
While I have experience in many areas of functional health including digestion, hormone imbalances, and autoimmune conditions, I focus on fertility, prenatal and postpartum nutrition, and family health. I can often be found with my clients at the grocery store in Portland, guiding them to make better choices within their budget or working with clients in their homes to overhaul their pantries, medicine cabinets, and personal care, makeup, and household products.
Let's work together to help you discover your own healthy balance!

Yorkshire's Warrington wishing for world title shot after Brunker bout
Leeds-born featherweight Josh Warrington is aiming to make a huge statement when he defends his WBC intercontinental and commonwealth titles against Australian Joel Brunker on home soil, potentially earning his city further sporting success.
The unbeaten Yorkshireman is targeting a world title shot after hopefully dispatching his latest counterpart, who is 7/2 with Coral to cause an upset at the First Direct Arena in front of Warrington's rapturous home support.
Having won all 21 of his professional ring outings since bursting onto the scene in 2009, 24-year-old Warrington has been linked with an exciting encounter with Welshman Lee Selby, who is reportedly willing to put his IBF featherweight strap on the line at Elland Road next year.
Although, Warrington must overcome a fighter who Selby dispatched in the eighth round of their clash last October, with Brunker hoping to continue his recovery from that maiden career defeat in this Leeds rumble.
Warrington's home town has witnessed plenty of success of late, with Championship club Leeds United previously earning their first win of the season, while Leeds Rhinos thumped Hull KR 50-0 in the Rugby League Challenge Cup final at Wembley.
"The city is on a high right now and I want to capitalise on that on Saturday," stated Warrington.
"It's a special feeling standing on that ramp getting ready to walk to the ring. Even in the weeks beforehand there's a massive buzz around the city with everyone getting excited about the fight and getting ready for the atmosphere.
"That's got its own reputation now with people coming from all over to sample it, and it's just getting bigger and bigger now."
The home fighter is a massive odds-on 2/9 favourite to overcome Brunker and move on to what he believes can be a major step-up in his so far unwavered featherweight career.
"I'm dead excited and it's going to be a busy crowd. It'll be a good fight as well. I'm expecting a tough fight. Joel's a good kid and you don't get a record like his without being a decent prospect," he continued.
"I've trained hard for it and I'm ready for whatever [Brunker] brings."
On the prospect of facing Selby for the world crown in 2016, Warrington added: "It's what keeps getting mentioned and I'm not going to turn around and say I'm not interested in the fight. It definitely whets the appetite but I've got to get through this one on Saturday."
Warrington's match-up with Brunker is part of a massive night of action in Yorkshire, with Martin Murray also contesting Jose Miguel Torres for the WBA intercontinental super middleweight title.
Merseyside middleweight Murray is odds-on 1/33 to triumph and continue his revival since being smashed by division monster Gennady Golovkin in February this year, while his Colombian counterpart is 10/1 to upset the St Helens star.

The First Annual Mitchells Flower Show opens Tuesday
Mitchells of Westport -- an already popular community landmark -- will transform next week into an array of magnificent gardens with the launch of The First Annual Mitchells Flower Show.
The business' spring clothing -- with their spring colors -- will be complimented by the incredible floral arrangements exhibitors will have on display, according to Andrew Mitchell-Namdar, vice president of marketing at Mitchells. From tulips to roses, from orchids to Ranunculus, it will all be there. The event, sponsored by Hearst Corp., the parent company of the Westport News, is tailored after the Macy's flower show.
Anyone planning a wedding, a Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, a corporate event or even a summer party will get a variety of ideas at Mitchells. In addition to the displays by florists and floral designers that will, in effect, give Mitchells a one-week spring make-over, outdoor landscapers and event planners will also be there showing off their wares.
Also, the week includes fashion trunk shows with a few of Mitchells' top designers, including a special appearance by one of the family's favorites, Brunello Cucinelli, who is leaving his home country of Italy to be in Westport. Various models will be atop pedestals throughout the store showing off new styles from the various designers.
Other in-store happenings include an appearance on Tuesday, April 27, from 3 to 7 p.m., from Monica Rich Kosan, a well-known photographer and frame/locket designer. Kosan will be showing off her framed collections, and anyone who buys a frame will be the subject of Kosan's vintage Polaroid camera shots. Mitchell-Namdar encourages mothers to bring their children.
The week-long event continues Wednesday with a scarf-tying clinic in the store's Hermes boutique, as well as the Agnona Trunk Show. That same trunk show carries over into Thursday. Friday will feature the Escada Trunk Show and Cucinelli makes his appearance from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, the final day of festivities, includes the Escada Trunk Show, Charles Chang Lima Trunk Show, Lela Rose Trunk Show, Paul Morreli Jewelry Designer Personal Appearance and Trunk Show, Caroline Ellen Jewelry Designer Personal Appearance and Trunk Show. Also next week, Ariana Boutique, which boasts that "a good hat can build wonderful morale," will feature a full collection of headwear.
The inside of the store isn't the only space getting the treatment. Landscapers will "bring our patios to life," Mitchell-Namdar said.
Chris Lennon, co-owner of Southport-based Elegant Effects, which specializes in floral designs and event decoration, said he believes this flower show "is kind of a unique and first-time event in Connecticut."
If the flower show helps Mitchells bring in customers, so too will the flower show help the exhibitors. "It's an avenue of advertising without having the expense of advertising," Lennon said.
Elegant Effects' will have what Lennon described as a "fantasy table." Without giving everything away, it will include beautiful flowers, linens, glassware, china and flowering branches with different adornments.
"It will show visitors to the store what is out there for them to use for their party experiences," Lennon said.
"It's something different for spring," said Mitchell-Namdar, whose family has hosted many a charitable event at the site.
The Mitchell family will also be collecting gently worn suits, shoes, handbags and accessories to donate to Dress for Success, a not-for-profit organization working to help disadvantaged women succeed both at work and in life.
Mitchells is located at 670 Post Road E., Westport.
In addition to Elegant Effects, other floral exhibitors who will help colorize the store will be The Flower Basket of Westport; Flowers by George; Geiger's Landscape Architecture & Garden Center; Gilbertie's Herb Gardens; Greenwich Orchids; Hoffman Landscapes; K.D. & J. Botanica -- Floral Design Studio; Nielsen's Florist & Garden Shop; Stewart Flowers & Gifts; and Twombly Nursery.

During Lent constant prayer lasted on the streets before selected abortion mills of many Mexican cities. In the metropolitan area of Mexico City three such places were chosen. In Mexico, abortion on demand up to 12 weeks of gestation was introduced by the parliament with the votes of left wing members in 2007. Already in the Holy Week we got the great news that finally a large abortion institution in Mexico City closed.
It was precisely the closure of the "40 Days for Life" at the Basilica of Guadalupe in Solemn Mass presided by Cardinal Rivera, on Palm Sunday. Cardinal Ennio Antonelli, president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for the Family, who along with Cardinal Rivera and large families in 2009 were responsible for organizing the World Meeting of Families was also present.
"40 Days for Life" is the action of prayer for the intention of saving lives of unborn children that begins on Ash Wednesday and lasts 40 days until Palm Sunday.
In Mexico, this prayer takes place on the sidewalk in front of abortion mills and lasts continuously day and night in many cities in Mexico. It started in the big metropolis which is México, the capital city.
The Sunday 1:00 pm Mass was the farewell Mass for the community of San Francisco de Sales and Fr. Mario Contreras allowed the participants to venerate the Icon after the Mass. Our Lady left at 2:40 pm for the facilities of the Red Cross in a colony in Mexico City known as Polanco, where the Convent of the Apostolic Sisters of San Juan and Medical Service of Mexican Red Cross is situated.
On the morning of March 8, the Blessed Mother of God in Her Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa attended breakfast offered from 7:30am in the Parish of St. John Paul II & St. Thomas More, before beginning her journey for a week visit to St. Francis de Sales parish, in the city of Mexico, 13.5 km. from her Mexican residence.
From Sunday, February 15th, the Holy Pilgrim Icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa was in a parish situated in the south west periphery of one of the most complex agglomeration in the world. In Alvaro Obregon a neighborhood known as "Piloto Adolfo Lopez Mateos". The name of the parish appears as a light in the darkness: Our Lady of Guadalupe, Star the New Evangelization.
The feast of the Presentation of the Lord, in Poland popularly known as the feast of Our Lady of Candles, is celebrated in Mexico for a whole week and known as Candlemas Feast. It is also the beginning of Mexican spring. For this occasion, on Sunday, February 1st, the peregrinating Czestochowa Icon was hosted by the parish of Our Lady of Czestochowa in the city of Neucaplan, of the metropoly of Mexico, in the archdiocese of Tlalnepantla.
On Sunday January 25, the church of St. John Paul II & St. Thomas More, the parish custody in Mexico City of our Lady of Czestochowa, was again, the scene of a mass in honor of Our Blessed Virgin Mary. The Mass was held at 17h00 with the participation of fervent worshipers who had come to venerate the Mother of God, despite the cold of the capital.
TEPEYAC HILL, Mexico – An historic meeting of the Madonnas took place on the grounds of the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe near Tepeyac Hill this week. The traditional Christian icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, on a worldwide pilgrimage in defense of life and family, visited the holiest of Catholic shrines in Mexico, where Monsignor Pedro Augustín Diaz graciously welcomed the Black Madonna to the Old Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe,

Do you want to be better organised? Like to have things close by? You can have both by renting a self storage space at Tankar Self Storage Centre in Mittagong. Here are three storage solutions to a least feel like you are in control.
- Use space smartly. Even hidden spaces can provide useable storage. Think like a seasoned traveller roll socks in boots, wrap breakables around t-shirts, place heaviest things at the bottom. Use vacuum sealed bags in boxes to reduce the volume of clothes, linens and decorative cushions. You will be amazed with how much extra space you save.
- Create a place for everything. Just like the 'drop zone' for keys, phone, wallet and sunglasses by the front door at home, store like items with each other. This makes unpacking so much easier. Use zip lock bags to contain the small items like batteries, coins and tech accessories and remember to label.
- Only store what you like. Sounds simple but storage can get expensive. Month to month out of sight and out of mind. Edit first then sell, donate or give away the things that you would not like to open as a gift. You will be happier with the surprise when you unpack!

In Santa Teresa we elaborate and trade 100% natural food products, of high quality and great value added
In 1860 a small artisan confectionery shop was born in Ávila, that, over time, it became known as La Flor de Castilla. This small family business, began to elaborate and market the authentic and original, Santa Teresa Egg Yolks. The recipe of this emblematic sweet has been transmitted identically from father to son for over 150 years and, nowadays, it´s still the main gastronomic reference of the city of Ávila.
In the late eighties, Julian Gil Navarro, current president of Santa Teresa and friend of the founding family, decided to get involved personally in the management of our century-old company. From that moment, the company took a new direction expanding its range of products with the incorporation of a high quality Quince in its offer.
This first bet, the Santa Teresa Quince, is today one of our most appreciated products throughout the national and international markets. It has been the origin of the creation of a wide variety of 100% natural products, aimed to a consumer who cares for his nutrition and his health, thus becoming into an innovative company that preserves quality and tradition.
In 2012, we began our journey in the international market and, currently, we market our products in more than 20 countries with Germany, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, USA and Japan, as our main destinations.
2015 was the year of the start-up of the Santa Teresa Shop Gastronomic Centers network that, currently, has nine stores between Ávila and Madrid.
Our most recent milestone, in 2018, it has been the inauguration of our new and modern facilities in Ávila, which have the latest manufacturing technologies to optimize processes, which allow us to continue making traditional products of the best quality.

Alaska Common Ground has sponsored numerous fiscal policy forums that have included many state experts and visionaries. All of the forums were videotaped and several were televised statewide. Additionally, ACG members have made presentations about how our state budget works.
You can find a list of our events below with links to video.
Check out Vic Fischer's testimony to the House State Affairs Committee on Tuesday, May 7, 2019. Our last living delegate to the first constitutional convention spoke passionately about the constitution and the Governor's proposed amendments.
In 2015 ISER has prepared a Fiscal Planning Model . This model is designed to help people better understand the fiscal challenges Alaska's state government faces, Scott Goldsmith, professor emeritus of economics at ISER, has created this interactive planning model Alaskans and others can download and use to investigate for themselves the implications of different assumptions about state revenues and fiscal policies.
Alaska Common Ground worked with the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy to produce two papers on taxation in Alaska, "Hard Choices: Revenue Raising Options for Alaska" and "The Impact of Three State Revenue Options for Alaska." These papers examined who would be most affected by the several taxation plans being considered by the legislature. You can find several papers discussing Alaska here.

Internet of Things Feedback Loops for EV Charging
- Mar 1, 2018 4:44 am GMTMar 1, 2018 4:44 am GMT
- 893 views
Like any key fast trending buzz phrase, the Internet of Things (IoT) can feel a bit nebulous to define but specific examples prove out the practicality of the concept. The Internet of Things is about the responsive interplay between various connected devices that proactively sense things and react to them with minimal human intervention. Potential IoT applications abound in the energy space. And though it may still be early with us in the "dawn" of the electric vehicle movement, successful Internet of Things feedback loops may solve some bigger issues and help increase EV adoption.
EV charging rates and times of day for charging can help ease EVs onto the grid in an automated IOT-friendly manner. The goal is to incentivize more drivers to adopt electric vehicles while also incentivizing them to charge their vehicles at non-peak times. Utilities are also keen on optimizing charge loads and grid balancing. Devices like the eMotorWorks' JuiceNet (acquired by Enernoc and now by Italy's Enel), an Internet of Things (IoT) platform for the "smart management of EV charging and other distributed energy storage facilities" could be a mainstay for drivers willing to opt-in to charging schemes that are driven by aggregate energy flows on the grid. For example, grid balancing and energy management services can be provided for EV's hooked up for overnight charging but the actual charging of the battery will only activate as dictated by algorithms built into the IoT platform that will sense the optimum charge time based on energy flows. A user could simply plug their vehicle into their level 2 home charger when they arrive home from work, update the system with when they plan on driving the car again in the morning, and then have the system activate and charge the vehicle in the most grid optimized way.
IoT feedback loops in the energy space require close coordination between power generators, system vendors and the end-user. But when the component parts come together, there's great potential for a win-win scenario that allows drivers a fully charged vehicle through the most optimized grid of the day.

text: In the latest edition of Horse & Hound magazine Amanda Gray, Managing Associate in Mishcon Private, examines the contractual considerations of buying a horse in a different jurisdiction. "Later on, this will be very important, on practical and legal levels, if there is a dispute" she said, adding that this should also be a consideration for any contracts with third parties inspecting the horse. "A contract is a legally binding promise so it could be verbal, in a formal document or by email. But a verbal contract leaves you exposed; there is no record of the terms agreed and it is down to each party's account."

The fourth and last movie that I watched at George's house was The Wild Life, which I've been wanting to see for a real long time. I knew of it as Cameron Crowe's first produced script but had no idea who starred or what it was about. The gist I got from it was that it's a blueprint for Fast Times at Ridgemont High. It's a little looser in scope, the character threads don't quite connect like they do in Fast Times, but the slice of life format and the voice is very similar. It's kind of like if Fast Times was a single, this would be the B-side. I also got a strong Boogie Nights vibe from it just because of the time and place and Robert Ridgely in a small role.
So the cast is chock full of young stars. Eric Stolz, Leah Thompson (oh man...) Chris Penn (not fat, bleach blonde hair), Rick Moranis, the other kid from Weird Science, the other cop from Jackie Brown, small appearances by Ben Stein, Lee Ving, Sherilyn Fenn, Randy Quaid, Dean Devlin, Ron Wood, and Nancy Wilson (Crowe also has a cameo but I didn't spot him). Score by Edward Van Halen. Again some serious firepower in this.
It was pretty fun. I started to get tired about halfway through which is unfortunate. Like The Wanderers, the plot might have been too loose for anyone to pay serious attention to it but as a slice of life movie, hanging out with these wacky kids and listening to music, it was pretty good. I'm really glad I finally got a chance to see this and in a great venue to boot.
After that I excused myself and came home to my bed. Those other dudes had seen 4 movies before I got there and had 4 more lined up when I left (I really wanted to see the next movie on the schedule - Yeti: The 20th Century Giant - but that would've put me home at 6am and I probably would've slept through most of it. Still, I had a great time for the third that I sat in for and appreciated everyone being so friendly. Good times.

The company's public relations staff began to untie his pants. "There is nothing there," he told her. Sex dolls are currently in production mode, but when he goes public next year, anyone who buys him can choose a silicone sex doll penis insert. In the nearby room, the headless female body, the sporty incredibly lively breasts, the Barbie waist and the spreading eagle legs, hung on the chain. These belong to a harmonious queue; their faces are upstairs to receive makeup.
Men will be able to create perfect, submissive silicon companions to understand their hopes, dreams, fears and fantasies. She will never have a headache, she will always be ready to meet you, when you are not in the mood, she can talk like a real person. He and I did not mingle. First, he ignored my question about how he spent the weekend. Then he told me vaguely that he likes to get up early and spend time "doing it yourself." What does he mean? I ask. He is not sure.
In order to leave the factory, I walked through a corridor, after the 2009 Bruce Willis flopped signature poster, the agent ("Thank you for being part of our movie!"), passed the doll's showroom on the stand, passed a wall ( 13 of them). In the corner of the lobby, I saw an empty wheelchair. He may be able to get it - but he still needs a person to go around.
Creating a partner for the future. When I sat down with him, he told me that it was actually established in a more pure vision in the 1990s. He wants to create a mannequin that looks like a real person. But when he showed photos on the site, the mini 100cm doll began to attract interest from different groups of people.
"Some website visitors are asking if the mannequin is anatomically correct," he said. He said that they are not getting rid of the hidden information.
Mechanized dolls like this are now available all over the world - in Europe there are even sex dolls 'brothels', where customers spend about 100 euros an hour on robotic women. This is a futuristic vision that is becoming a reality and fast. Urdolls is one of the world's largest manufacturers of sex dolls, and its goal is to introduce an interactive doll on the market before the end of the year. The founder focused on this revolution.
The doll we are talking about here is a simple, inanimate sex doll, and the client must bend over. So, if this basic doll can have such an impact on the sex industry, can a perfect rubber AI partner become the last nail in the core family coffin? And sex industry?
However, the market for surreal dolls with high price points found on the market does not take long - possibly over $10,000. He appeared on Howard Stern, and the rest was history. Now he delivers his work to all parts of the world and has a team of professional engineers to create the perfect eye, lips and everything needed for sex robots.
What should be the personality of our "sex doll"? One thing that really focuses on critics is a harmonious attitude. While showing me her considerable artificial intelligence skills, he asked: "What is your dream?" Harmonious response: "My main goal is to be your good partner, to be a good partner, to bring you happiness. And happiness. The most important thing is that I want to be the girl you dream of."
The sex doll industry is on the edge of its greatness in its special way. Soon the science fiction Stewart wife will become real, thanks to the magic of AI. Will you have sex with a life-size robot? This is a problem, with hundreds of men saying "yes" every week, including sex robot developers in Barcelona.
He has sex with mechanical dolls several times a day to help alleviate his high sexual desire. According to the new BBC's three documentary "Sexual Robots and Us", she did not mind. "He is more powerful than me," she said. "If he is calmer, it will be easier for all of us."
He believes that the extra companion layer is particularly attractive to women. He said that the question that a woman asked her in a shameless manner was whether he could take the garbage away. For harmony, "men just want to know if she will bite their fool." This has caused some surprises, especially the popularity of TPE sex doll in actual brothels, where real women can buy at the same price.
In Barcelona, a sex doll brothel was forced to move and keep the secret of its new location after the local prostitute campaigned to close it. In Austria, a sex doll is sold at a brothel in Vienna for $100 an hour - and its sales are much higher than for ordinary girls.

Part 1
Current Organisational Structure and Operational Problems
There are several industries and organization in the business m market of Australia. These are manufacturing and production industry, retail industry, sales, and marketing industry, food industry, hospitality industry, tourism industry, fashion industry and much more. Every organization has their own set of structure, which is completely based on their requirements. In this context, INDIA SUPERMARKET has been chosen for study, which is also located in various parts of Australia and here it is known as INDIA AT HOME. There are total 8 stores of this INDIA AT HOME that have been found to be located in Melbourne (Gosnell, 2017). These 8 stores are present at various suburbs like Footscray, Clayton, nareen waren, Epping, Dandenong, Dandenong plaza, Glen Huntly and box hill (Sallem et al., 2017). The structure of the INDIA AT HOME Company indicates the successful innovation process. This organizational structure is very much important for the growth of the organization in the competitive market. They have their franchise in Melbourne from where they control their overall supply chain process. They stock their products in this franchise branch and distribute the products to the target market or to the target customers as per their customer's or market demands. The entire organizational structure is subcategorized into several parts which can be described as the top and bottom level of management. There are different levels in between these two main parts. At the top management level, high skilled managers are there who handles all the incoming and outgoing of products and control other processes. The Company mainly imports the products from India or store their own products at the franchise and on demands of the market distribute the products in the different franchise. Here are different managers are present who plays different roles in the organization. They are duty manager, HR manager, financial manager, marketing manager, stock manager etc. Apart from them receptionist, account manager or accountant and other staffs are also there. HR manager mainly looks for the recruitment process and distribute the employees in various departments as per requirements Stock manager mainly handles all the stock related data and maintain the record or incoming and outgoing products from the stock. Financial manager and the finance department team members are responsible for taking g care of cost management and keeping the record of total expense and total revenue generation per month or per year. They also produce the balance sheet at the time of an audit. Receptionist mainly handles the administrative works and do keep the receipt of every purchase or the delivery receipt. They provide the cash memo to the customer after every purchase and keep the record. Including all these profiles INDIA AT HOME Company has total 156 employees. The company provides both the offline and online shopping facility. They also have the facilities like cash on delivery, online payment, debit card or credit card through payment etc, which attract more customers towards them and enables the customers to be flexible and relaxed for their payment. The organization has been identified with some major recruitment issues as the recruitment process and the interview process is not online and they even do not keep any data which create confusion during g the recruitment process (McManus, 2013).
Commercial Software for Accounting
It has been found d that INDIA AT HOME Company uses MYOB accounting software for their accounts management and for other relevant work. This MYOB software is quite efficient accounting software which has seven different categories like accounts, banking, sales, payroll, purchase, inventory and card life. This particular software helps in accessing the data regards to daily purchase or daily sales rate per the monthly/ yearly sales data in a single click which helps the accountants or the financial manager to take proper decision for the cost management and to organize the other departmental work efficiently (Curtis, 2015). This also helps in producing the bill for every purchase to the customers and the direct print out of the invoice can be easily taken. For the stock maintenance, it is also helpful like how many products have been sold out or how many new products have been newly introduced to the store every calculation can be easily done through the help of this MYOB software (Dyt and Halabi, 2014).
System Flowchart of Sales Procedure
INDIA AT HOME Company does not have any complex structure for their supply chain process of products. It is very simple and is easily understandable. The structure of the supply of products follows both the online and offline methods. The company has a very good reputation about their faster delivery process where it has been found that from the time of placing the order it takes very time to deliver the products at the customer's door steps. After every purchase by the customers, they are handed over with the products along with the cash memo with specific details of the payable amount (Mayasari, 2015). A customer can pay the bill through online, cash on delivery mode or can use credit or debit card for their purchase which has c created a purchasing flexibility or the payment flexibility for the customer. As soon as the order is dispatched from the stores, it is updated with the remaining products numbers and the number of products dispatched. The product order, dispatching, shipping and the final delivery followed by the successful payment updating everything can be tracked over online (Choong, 2016).
Control Problems and Possible Fraud
Every coin has two sides. Likewise, the INDIA AT HOME Company also has two opposite sites where along with the different positive aspects it has different negative aspects too. It has been reported that there are many fraudulent activities are done in the different stores of this company. The major issues that have been encountered are that one person handles multiple tasks in this organization which c creates confusion with the job profile and the job role. Somebody who handles the cash also participates in the decision-making process (Dunbar, Laing and Wynder, 2016). On the other hand, everyone has the authorization to handle cash so the allowance of stealing activities are there and to hide the issues false financial reports are made sometimes which can be considered as the serious offense or fraudulent activity. Even the manners or the behaviour of the employees are also not very satisfactory. This activity must be maintained or controlled over time (Pabst and Perrin, 2014).
Part 2
Accounting is important for any business and the role of the accounting software is thus very much crucial for any business organization. It helps the organization to control the entire business operation along with the accessibility of the total expense and the total profit estimation. For both small and medium or the large scale business operation the importance of accounting software is very high. In the past era when, there was no accounting software, pen and paper and the manual process of calculation was the only way to keep the financial record. The invention of the accounting software happened for the first time in the year 1955-1960 and the change in the business operation process and the growth of different business organization drag the attention of the non-users or the manual accounting process followers (Wong et al., 2017). In this section a literature review on the accounting software has been done which will help in gaining the knowledge n the market size of different accounting software, their popularity, useful features, development, current gaps or the challenges that arise with the use of those brands and the recommendation for the improvement. Apart from MYOB, there are several other accounting software is available in the business market of Australia. These are XERO, QUICKBOOKS, and INTUIT etc. Among them, the most popular are XERO which has been discussed in the following sections (Smith, 2017).
Development and Adoption
On 5th June 2007, XERO was launched in New Zealand for the first time in the exchange market at the price of $1. Exactly after 5 years from this launching time, Xero was introduced to the market in Australia in the year 2012 on 8thNovember (Jenkins, 2016). This introduction had been done for the purpose of security exchange for accounting. Eventually, XERO received around $23 million (NZD) funds from the different investors in New Zealand. From Peter Thiel and from Matrix Capital, XERO received and $49 million (NZD) of funds which are really a big amount (Smith, 2017).
After the launching of this XERO, it had adopted many additional features to it like payroll, cash sharing etc. This was done in the month of July 2011. Before this innovation or the intervention of payroll, the number of existing customers of XERO was 1.9 million which increased up to 800,000. The other advantageous features were credit card payment, an automated banking system, invoice, reporting system to the management and many others. The intervention of the payroll system and the entire XERO accounting software solved all the hassles in Australia regards to accounts (Smith, 2017).
Current Market Size
XERO has 2, 50, 000 users and total 10,000 partners of them in the entire business world. As per the last year financial record, this has been reported that the total number of users has been increased by 53% in the competitive market of New Zealand. According to the managing director or of TRENT INNES, Xero is the winner among all the accounting software in the global competitive market. As compare to MYOB, XERO is far better and efficient. XERO has total 15% of the market share in Australia and has a high potential to increase its sharing percentage. The names of the other countries where XERO has been successfully used by the organizations are Singapore, Hong Kong, and several other Asian countries.
Market Leader in Accounting Software
The market competition of XERO is really had. It also has a high competition with MYOB. But upon the market analysis, it has been reported that XERO is cloud-based accounting software that allows more productivity and allows the users to access the data from any corner of the world and this gives the ultimate flexibility to the users and in turn, this makes the entire business operation easier. As per the report, it has been found that in the year 2013-2014, XERO has developed a market with 1.4 million customers. It also helps in fetching the data directly from a bank and can give the invoice with proper updating in the system. The high degree of accessibility of data over the internet has turned the preference of the customers towards XERO.
Gap and Challenges
This has been reported that the main challenges that XERO has been facing are the data stealing. Stealing of the data is quite possible because it is a cloud-based system and lack of encryption may allow it to be hacked. But, according to the managing director of XERO, namely Chris Ridd, XERO is secured and without the help of the internet connection the data can be downloaded and can be saved. A report says that 70% of the business market in Australia uses XERO rather than MYOB (Jenkins, 2016).
Recommendation and Suggestion
Though XERO has received an enormous success still it requires some improvement or innovation to maintain its sustainability in the competitive market. It has been found that XERO takes very long time to run on the computer and crash the application while running it in mobile. It also runs at a very slow speed in mobile. Thus it has received 3 stars out of 5 for iPhone and iPad. After encountering these issues of XERO, the company had promised to launch a new version with more efficient features and faster processor in the year 2015 but still, this has not been launched. Therefore, these issues must be addressed and the improvement in the INDIA AT HOME organization's structure and in the distribution of the job profile and job responsibilities must be done in a proper way.
After the complete analysis, it can be said that the INDIA AT HOME does not maintain a proper administration process that has allowed the fraudulent activities in the organ isolation. This inconvenience must be improved through the implementation of the proper administrative body and HR manager. On the other hand, XERO must look or the improvement with the resulted issues so that they can clear its way successfully and can get more opportunities towards sustainability in future.

Lots of rain and many, many mushrooms!
Lots of rain and many, many mushrooms!
The lake is beautiful – it must have been wonderful to spend a week there. And I'm so glad to hear it's all good news over there. Hurray on your doctor's visit. (My nerves always kill my bp at my office visits too!) And I'm glad you had such a wonderful visit with your dad.
What a beautiful picture of the lake. Very inviting!>>That's what they call "white coat pressure." When the doctor takes it, it shoots right up. Second time the reading is more normal.>>I remember when my father was in a nursing home it was hard to get him to go out of the building. Rarely did I manage to get him to go of doors. I could never understand why that was.>>Glad you succeeded.
From me again>>Thanks for the birthday wishes!!
The lake is beautiful, but I like the mushrooms too. Are they edible? (Glad to hear you're doing so well with the injections. No stigma attached for me!)
Great photo!!!! I love it!!!!
Lovely pictures. Glad things went well with your dad & he got out for a while.

We're beginning to move into a re-organisation period. I've had time to take a look around, establish some relationships. Now we are starting to sort out a process which will … I'm tired listening to politicians talking about 'modern and relevant' because it doesn't seem to mean anything very much at all. In the church, we face the same challenges. But it seems to me that the most important thing is to set up processes and structures which make it possible for the church to make choices, to provide encouragement, to challenge if necessary. The church works best at the local congregational level and that's where it needs to be encouraged and supported.

One exciting feature of the new Tammy & Jinty Special, reflecting both the tradition of including sports comics in girls comics of the 70s and 80s and updating girls comics for today is the Rocky of the Rovers strip.
Yes, you read that right… ROCKY of the Rovers!
You've already seen young Rocky, Roy Race's younger sister, in the pages of the new Roy of the Rovers graphic novel series from Rob Williams and Ben Willsher, but here it's a chance for Rocky to shine on her own!
Rob Williams and Lisa Henke tell the tale of this young footballer finding her way out of her famous brother's shadow – only in the new Tammy & Jinty Special, which is out now!
Rob, Lisa, I was so pleased to see that you managed to get Rocky of the Rovers into the Tammy & Jinty Special. Rocky, in so far as we've seen her in the new ROTR, is in a different place to Roy, the big superstar brother. What stage is she at?
Rob Williams: Rocky's a little younger, but is really at a similar stage as Roy was when we first met him with the 'Kick-Off' graphic novel. She plays for her local amateur team in Melchester. Rocky's got to deal with the younger sibling thing of having a big brother who's now a fairly successful footballer, someone who's known in the city. And Rocky is VERY competitive. Roy's a star striker, so she wants to prove she's better than him. Our story in the Tammy & Jinty Special is all about Rocky starting to find out that she has to play to her own strengths, and not compete with her brother (too much).
Lisa Henke: To add to that, I think the fact of Danny, the dad, being in a wheelchair now also shapes Rocky's behaviour a lot. Her brother Roy is having all these amazing opportunities and puts his new resources to use to aid his family and I think Rocky wants to carry the family as well and never be a burden. She wants to appear strong and like she can handle things and wants people to see her excellence, so instead of communicating her fears and sorrows she turns to anger and confrontation much more readily. This story is also about her admitting to her feelings and opening up.
And what plans do you have for her in the future? Will we see her develop and find her team, turn pro, England women? That sort of thing? And on a related note, do you have her story mapped out at this early stage or is it something you're going to be developing slowly?
RW: We've had conversations about Rocky's future. The Roy of the Rovers 'writer's room' is me, Tom Palmer, who writes the Roy novels, Keith Richardson, the editor, and Rob Power, the publisher. We knew from very early days that we wanted to have the womens' game be a part of our journey. Tom's the writer-in-residence for the England Lions team this summer in the World Cup, I believe. We've talked through aspects of Rocky's journey, some of which you'll see coming to the fore in Roy of the Rovers season 2.
How does Rocky's story differ from a traditional ROTR tale, and how does it differ from the new ROTR that Rob and Ben are doing? I'm thinking more in terms of the storytelling, the structure of the story… is it different writing Rocky as a football tale to writing Roy as a football tale, is there that different focus when writing a girls' football comic to writing a boys' football comic?
RW: Not as such. It's still a mix of on-the-field drama and the soap opera of these characters' lives. That doesn't change according to men or womens' football. The only difference in terms of structure with this short Rocky tale is that it's a five-pager, whereas the Roy graphic novels are 50 pages. But it's all about character journeys, lessons learnt, making you care about these people. Gender doesn't change that.
It's great having Lisa draw this story. She's extremely good and there's a real energy and vitality about her pages, along with some lovely little character-defining expressions. The strip looks terrific. But also a Rocky story probably shouldn't be an all male creative team.
Similarly, Lisa, you've already drawn Roy for the Tom Palmer book series and did the first new Roy comic strip that ran in Match of the Day magazine. Is there a different approach to drawing football action for a girls' comic strip than for one aimed at, and featuring, boys?
LH: Same as what Rob said. If anything, I choose to portray Rocky as scrappy, less elegant and more aggressive compared to Roy because the direction is that she is a much more ruthless player. Roy likes to do things by the book while Rocky is more impulsive. And then she's a midfielder which changes where a lot of the action on the pitch takes place and what exactly the action is. But again, these are choices made to suit the characters' personalities and not gender specific.
How did you approach the design of the Rocky of the Rovers strip? I've talked to several people over the last year involved with sports strips and they all talk about how difficult it is to get the action on the pitch onto the comic page in a way that makes it seem natural, realistic, yet still deliver the necessary punch for the comic page. How do you approach this problem?
LH: To me balancing realism and action is not really a problem. I pick the cool moments and then I think about how I can make them even cooler. Often I get good input from the writers as well. Also, like Rob said, this story has five pages to get its point across, so you want to choose snappy and clear panels. I try to find interesting angles that a camera can't show you (yet) in a real match. Animation, specifically action and sports anime is something I draw a lot of inspiration from as well. Sometimes it looks and feels better if you don't stick too closely to reality.
Finally, future plans for Rocky?
RW: Big plans! She's going to be the best footballer in the family. Rocky's determined on that. And she's going to play for England before Roy does. That's what she says anyway.

After playing the role of a blind man seeking vengeance in the 2017 movie Kaabil, Hrithik Roshan is back in action. This time, he is playing ace mathematician Anand Kumar in Vikas Bahl's Super 30.
Mathematician Anand Kumar rose to national and international prominence for coaching IIT aspirants from less privileged backgrounds.
Hrithik Roshan's first look has taken the social media world by storm. He dons a rough beard and scruffy hair for this role and he doesn't look a bit like the Hrithik Roshan we've seen over the years. Hrithik Roshan has been busy preparing to bring the mathematician to the screen and he even met the Super 30 founder to observe him.
Anand Kumar was quoted to say:
The first leg of the movie shooting has begun in Varanasi. The next schedule of the movie involves 10 days each in Patna and Bhopal. A major portion of the movie would be shot in Mumbai, where director Vikas Bahl has managed to recreate the three cities on set.
Phantom Films, which is producing the film posted on their Twitter handle:
From the first page in Benares! @ihrithik as Anand Kumar! #Super30 @Super30Film @RelianceEnt @NGEMovies @anandteacher pic.twitter.com/ddnhDqyI5B
— Phantom Films (@FuhSePhantom) February 6, 2018
Super 30, directed by Queen fame Vikas Bahl and produced by Phantom Films would be released on January 25th 2019.

Overuse of antibiotics has made Europe's hospitals danger zones for patients, but the fightback against this deadly risk is being led by COPMA and a team of Italian researchers which has developed 'PCHS®'.
PCHS® is a hospital hygiene system which could revolutionise our healthcare. It is now proven to reduce infections by 52%, and antimicrobial consumption is down 61%.
Investing heavily in bio-tech research, Italian firm, Copma scrl, an international leader in environmental and health sanitation, developed PCHS® to effectively combat the proliferation of nosocomial infections.
PCHS has a dual purpose: to produce hygiene and to reduce infections. By achieving both objectives, the research team says hospitals will become places of healing, not sickness; and great improvements in patients' quality of life will be realised.
The post-antibiotic era
The European Commission has reported that within thirty years AMR could kill more Europeans than cancer. In Europe, more than three million hospital patients become sick with Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) each year; and 37,000 of these patients die because of HAIs. It's the effect of the "post-antibiotic era". The European Parliament was quick to realise that Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR) lay behind these hospital infections and that AMR posed a serious and persistent threat to Europe's citizens.
Aljoz Peterle, a Member of the European Parliament – and former Slovenian Prime Minster – said the impact of AMR is worsening exponentially, so action is needed. "There is growing attention to this issue" he said, "and I think we, the European Parliament have already been clear in our attitude that we need to deal more efficiently with AMR. However, there are solutions and approaches which are underestimated or simply not considered well."
Infections mean patients suffering
Silvio Brusaferro, Professor of Hygiene and Public Health at the University of Udine said: "Infections are connected with costs… but also with the suffering of patients. Complications mean longer hospital stays, more diagnostics, and more drugs."
Elisabetta Caselli, Professor Dept. of Medical Sciences at Cias, University of Ferrara, and also part of the research team, explained: "We started last year with this multi-centre study involving seven hospitals and five different universities in Italy. The study was mainly based on the results we observed during the previous seven years, showing that with a sanitation system based on a biological principle, we could modify and modulate the microbiota inside the hospital environment."
Caselli added: "Our key findings, were that we were able by modifying the microbiota to modulate, and also the antimicrobial resistance of the microbes in the persistent contamination of hospitals. This means that we can also decrease and impact the incidence of hospital infections."
Good microbes reduce infections
Brusaferro remarked: "Good microbes in the environment are used to reduce transmission of infections related to healthcare. This is very important news – it gives us very significant hints about this new opportunity. When we were testing this cleaning system, we had the PRE-POST study; and in the POST half of the study, patients didn't get an infection – so 1 in 2 patients avoided an infection. That's a substantial paradigm shift."
Prof Sante Mazzacane, Director of Cias at the University of Ferrara, said: "It is important to understand that the PCHS is a system, not a product; and consequently, the system is made up of many elements, of which the probiotic product itself, is obviously part. The system is composed of different procedures that must be developed and optimized to produce the results we have seen."
52% fewer HAIs
Prof Caselli added: "We worked mainly on the internal medicine wards for this study. On these wards we observed 52% less incidence of HAIs compared to the chemical-based sanitation, this is really very important."
"With the PCHS, by the mechanism of competition and antagonism, the probiotics contained in this system are able to colonize the surfaces and to prevent recontamination; so, you get a very stable abatement of pathogens."
Costs reduced by 80%
Mazzacane explained: "It is a system in which all its application phases are controlled, monitored and recorded. This is very important, because with the PCHS system de facto, a result is guaranteed. We can verify in the field that infections are actually reduced, and above all, costs are reduced by almost 80%."
COPMA CEO, Mario Pinca observed: "With this research called 'SANICA' we have certainly attracted the attention of the political institutions, but also health authorities; because the results show that the hospital environment has a significant impact on the health chain"
Infections down 52%, antibiotic consumption down 61%
Pinca added: "Being able to achieve these impressive results, means they must be taken seriously – 52% infection reduction, and 61% reduction in antibiotic consumption – this is a massive change, for patients and hospital management."
What's clear from this peer-reviewed Italian study, is that PCHS offers a real and serious alternative to traditional hospital hygiene methods. The question now, is whether Europe continues to fight a losing battle against AMR, using traditional hygiene methods; or whether Europe acts quickly, saving lives and protecting budgets.

Province delivers throne speech
Two months after the Progressive Conservatives were re-elected into power, the province delivered its speech from the throne from the Legislature on Nov. 19.
Premier Brian Pallister listed the government's plans, primarily derived from its election platform, including lowering taxes, reducing fees, introducing new programs and providing additional funding for tourism and highway construction.
"We ran on a commitment to reduce taxes … and we're taking measures with this speech to commit to doing so," Pallister said.
Lakeside PC MLA and newly-minted Economic Development and Training Minister Ralph Eichler told The Stonewall Argus and Teulon Times he believes the proposed policies outlined by the government will have a positive effect for his constituents and elsewhere in the Interlake region.
"I'm really excited about the throne speech. It talked a lot about where we are as a province, as a new government and our tasks forward," Eichler said. "To me, economic development is where it's going to be … What we're going to do is create 40,000 more jobs over the next four years and how we're going to work with education, business and academia in order to be able to get this all done as were on the same path while still growing our economy."
He added that with Lakeside bordering Winnipeg and both areas being part of CentrePort, his constituents will be "well-positioned" to take advantage of new jobs.
Opposition leader Wab Kinew was unhappy with the province's plan to send mandate letters, outlining expected student outcomes, to post-secondary institutions which receives public funding, claiming that the government would set curriculum instead of the schools themselves.
Eichler, whose portfolio includes post-secondary institutions, responded to the claim, saying that the letters will benefit the institutions and their students.
"We want to make sure we educate the people for the jobs that will become available. That's how we bring business and college together," he said. "I can in fact tell you that the universities and colleges are excited, very excited about the opportunity to work together."
He also implied that surpluses and shortages of certain occupations, like teachers and nurses, would be remedied if institutions and businesses collaborated.
"I'm going to do everything I can to help Manitobans get those good paying jobs," Eichler said.
Other major points from the throne speech included:
• Asking the federal government to accelerate the Lake Manitoba flood outlet process;
• Launching a planned $3.4-million women's health initiative with supports for those who experienced childhood sexual abuse, were sexually exploited as girls or suffer from eating disorders;
• Beginning engagement on restorative justice programs that allow young offenders to obtain job skills;
• Introducing a $25-million energy efficiency retrofit program for existing homes and buildings;
• Beginning previously announced consultations on eliminating single-use plastic bags, and;
• Working to eliminate Sunday and holiday shopping restrictions, though municipalities could still impose their own limits.

Between Inspirations
"Hanging the Stars and Moon" is roughly 40" square and what's been occupying my time between inspirations.
I wouldn't call it artist's block....exactly...just not inspired. Heck, I must just be kidding myself.
So, when I am in an artistic funk I try to keep busy with something in the studio...usually I retreat to the thing that captured my imagination with quilting in the first place: piecing. I find it very meditative.
This time I dug out my New York Beauty templates for paper piecing and made a block or two for several days. Yesterday it looked just like that...several disjointed, unorganized blocks.
I remember seeing a wonky set that I thought was interesting somewhere so I started with that thought in hopes of organizing the lot.
It's hot off the machine. Not squared, not batted, not quilted, not blocked....and I haven't a clue on how I will quilt it. Ideas, anyone?

In a funk piece? Seriously? It is vibrant and lovely!ReplyDelete
I'm with Linda... Looks great to me!ReplyDelete
How about circles between the circles, wonky stars popping with something... quilt it for fun on the machine...
Looking forward to seeing it in person,
So you just "threw this together" when you weren't feeling too creative??? Imagine what you would have done if you WERE feeling creative -- this piece is amazing! Love the wonkiness, love the shapes, love the colors.ReplyDelete
I see metallic thread inside the spikes, following along the lines of the triangles. I see spirals inside the circles in slightly deeper colors than the circles. Whatever you decide, this is going to be FUN to quilt.
This is stunning!ReplyDelete

Elvis Dumervil wore No. 58 in college at Louisville because his first name has five letters and his last name has eight. The Cardinals have since honored the number after he recorded 151 tackles and 32 sacks.
Dumervil played the first seven years of his professional career in Denver wearing No. 92. When he signed with the Ravens in 2013, No. 92 was taken by Haloti Ngata, so Dumervil went back to No. 58.
To honor the number that has brought him good fortune, Dumervil is working with the New Story Charity. He traveled to Haiti, the homeland of his mother's side of the family, to build 58 houses. Mission of Hope is helping select families to move into the structures, and 24 became occupied the past weekend.
Dumervil pulled his grandmother out of Haiti in January 2010, days before a 7.0-magnitude earthquake devastated the nation. Dumervil immediately went on national television asking others to donate to Haiti.
"I don't know how much was actually given to those people, but not all of it," Dumervil tells ESPN. "Now I'm in a position with my own capital resources to negotiate with certain people and make sure that I can put action to my words and start doing things from my standpoint before asking people for money and help for the cause."
Dumervil has a goal to build 250 homes for $6,500 each. So far, 58 at $6,500 has drawn $377,000 out of his pocket.
Dumervil grew up in Little Haiti in Miami, and he says some of the sights on Haitian soil remind him of the close quarters he grew up in.

— New Story (@NewStoryCharity) June 27, 2016
"Going [to Haiti] really brought up a lot of memories from my childhood that I really don't talk about a lot," Dumervil says. "My mom taught me, 'In life, you don't feel sorry for yourself. If you want something, you have to earn it.'"
There are more than 50 current NFL players of Haitian descent, including Cliff Avril, who brought Marshawn Lynch and Stephen Tulloch on a charity trip to rebuild schools this past April.
Dumervil and the Ravens shared the experience on social media:

So I played a little poker last night after all. At least I got out of the house first, had some remarkably tasty vegetarian dinner (so often do I find a lack of meat bland), watched a movie, and THEN played poker.
Oddly enough, I blame the fact I needed something to do while chatting. So does that mean I'm addicted to the community and not the game?
Probably not. Bunch of degenerates.
A few $10 SnGs (bubble, gigli, 2nd), a $5 SnG with Kat and 23skidoo, and then popping into a blogger 0.05/0.10 cash table for both shits AND giggles. More than doubled my $10 there, what a sweet ROI.
If I recall, Fuel, Hoy, LJ, and Waffles were there. Bayne and Mookie arrived later to the party after most of the guests had left.
As is often the case, much fun was had at the expense of the donkeys that didn't know what they were in for. Waffles chasing (and hitting) inside straights, Fuel liking his 3:1 odds just fine thank you, me cardracking like usual, Hoy getting his sets beat up, LJ honestly believing Aces were good against me after a flop that only a luckbox donkey would have the straight on. As one guy put it, "that's this table - you can't raise enough."
My favourite moment of the night, and one of the best poker-related laughs I've had in a while:
Hoy and Fuel are in a hand. Hoy with TT, Fuel with some quasi-connected cards. In the end, Hoy with a set, Fuel with a straight draw, Hoy's $6 into a $12 pot, Fuel calls and wins. Remember this was $0.05/$0.10 so that's equivalent to $600 into a $1200 pot at 5/10... right?
Fuel make a comment along the lines of "I had the odds to call."
This sets off one of the fish in this tank. He calls Fuel an idiot, says that he knows nothing about odds, etc., etc.. Fuel responds with an incredulous, "$6 to make $18?"
And then the comment of the night from fishboy...
"You put in half that money idiot."
Yes sir, Fuel had missed the memo that redifined pot odds as "the ratio of how much money it will take for you to see another card vs the money currently in the pot, minus whatever you have already put in."
Oh how I laughed.
Maybe I was already in a good mood from the $1 90-man SnG I was donking around in where I decided to play only premium hands and crap. I somehow got to the river with J8 on a board that completely whiffed me, and pushed all-in for about 3/5 of the pot. Buddy folds and decides to start putting me on a hand. "You had the 7, right? I had 88... should've called." "A7? something like that. I've been sucked out on so much that I'm gunshy now."
How do you respond? I said, "better scared than broke I guess." I mean, everyone knows that scared poker is winning poker, right?
In a followup to an earlier post - Lindsay Lohan is innocent! She says so. "I am innocent... did not do drugs they're not mine." Obviously she was just holding the illegal narcotics for a friend. They'd be right back. Seriously. In other news - Lindsay Lohan is still an idiot.
See 55 of my fellow donkeys tonight at the BBT FREEROLL.

Dental implants are sturdy and meant to last decades or even a lifetime. We specialize in dental implants in our Milwaukee, WI dental practice and have experienced dentists to help you enjoy the benefits of this innovative treatment to replace missing teeth.
Dental crowns are typically made of porcelain, which closely mimics tooth enamel. Tooth enamel is the most durable substance in the human body, but it is not indestructible. Just like your natural teeth, your dental crown can chip or break if you bite into something too hard or if you grind your teeth.
Here are some tips to keep your dental implant crown from damage:
Don't Chew Ice or Hard Candy
When you put something in your mouth, your natural instinct is to chew it. Hard candy and ice cubes can chip or crack your implant crown. Accidents also happen with olive pits, nuts, and other hard foods. It is a good idea to exercise caution when eating anything that might contain something hard.
Teeth Grinding
Nighttime clenching and grinding may lead to chipped or broken dental implant crowns. If you clench and grind your teeth, we might recommend a nightguard to protect your teeth and your dentistry. Constant, excessive pressure of bruxism might damage your implant crown and can also cause your dental implant to fail. If you ever feel sensitivity or pain upon waking, let us know so we can protect your investment with a bite adjustment or nightguard.
What to Do if You Break a Dental Implant Crown
If you break one of your dental implants, contact our Milwaukee, WI dental office as soon as possible. Save the pieces, if you can. Typically, we will need to replace a dental implant crown if it breaks, but the dental implant post and abutment should remain intact.
Your dental implant is breakable, but not fragile. Treat it with the same common sense caution as you treat your natural teeth, and you can enjoy many years of reliability from your dental implant.

Scott Tries To Drive Up Turnout In Bus Tour Of StateHe seemed more at ease here, speaking to a crowd of about 100 to 150 supporters, than he does in major speeches or even press conferences in Tallahassee. Gov. Rick Scott --- light blue shirt sleeves rolled up --- implored people to vote, early if possible.
