Investigating the Venus Flytrap's Speedy Snap
(ISNS) — Plants aren't typically known for their speed, but the carnivorous Venus flytrap can close its jaw-like leaves in the blink of an eye. Charles Darwin once referred to the Venus flytrap as "one of the most wonderful plants in the world." But despite the plant's notoriety, its closing mechanism remains a mystery 250 years after its discovery.
Biophysicists at the Ecole Polytechnique Universitaire de Marseille, in France, are investigating the cellular process behind the Venus flytrap's rapid response to prey. The researchers have already thrown out one popular explanation for the Venus flytrap's quick motion, that water movement within the plant makes its jaw snap. They announced this finding in San Diego at a meeting of the American Physical Society's Division of Fluid Dynamics.
"This is the first time someone has looked at how Venus flytraps move on the cellular level," said biophysicist and lead researcher Mathieu Colombani. "We are looking for an explanation that's both biologically and physically possible."
Venus flytraps are native to the coastal bogs of North and South Carolina. The bogs' soil lacks the proper nutrients — particularly nitrogen and phosphorus — for plants to grow. The plant manages to survive in this tough environment by trapping and digesting insects in order to fulfill their nutritional needs.
"In these bogs you see a lot of carnivorous plants that rely on animals and insects for nutrients," said biophysicist Jacques Dumais of the Universidad Adolfo Ibanez in Chile.
When an insect is drawn into one of the plant's traps, it tickles a small, hair-like outgrowth on the inside of the leaf. When two different outgrowths are triggered in short succession, a rapid process triggers the leaves to shut, trapping the insect in as little as one-tenth of a second.
As the insect struggles to escape, it triggers even more outgrowths, causing the Venus flytrap to tighten its grip and release enzymes to digest its snack. Each "mouth" can only snap shut four or five times before it dies, whether it catches something or not.
In 2005, scientists discovered the large-scale principle behind the plant's bite. Each leaf pops from convex to concave as it closes, like a jumping popper toy or an inverted contact lens.
"A Venus flytrap is like two popper toys put together," said Colombani. "Once the process is started, the two leaves snap together very quickly."
When the plant's leaves are separated, the trap is in a stable equilibrium and remains open. Once the plant's prey springs the trap, some internal process in the plant upsets the system, causing the two leaves to quickly snap together. Identifying this internal process is the focus of Colombani's research.
"The Venus flytrap's movements are as much a biological process as a physical process," said Dumais. "Colombani's work is a really wonderful attempt to understand everything from beginning to end."
Currently there are several theories on how the Venus flytrap's leaves become unstable.
The researchers were able to rule out one popular theory, which suggests that cells on the inside of the plant's leaves transfer water to cells on the outside of the leaves. The resulting cell size change would alter the shape of the leaves, possibly causing them to quickly destabilize and pop together. Colombani's team looked at the pressure change inside a single cell as the leaves snapped shut.
"It's difficult because you need to stay focused on a single cell and the plant's leaves move very quickly," said Colombani.
To solve this problem, the researchers creatively used blue dental paste to glue one of the Venus flytrap's leaves to an anchored plastic fork. This setup kept the leaf from moving and made focusing on a single cell possible. They found that the movement of water between the inner and outer cells was far too slow to be responsible for the plant's rapid movements.
"It takes a few seconds for each cell to relax, which means that it would take about two minutes for the plant to close," said Colombani. "This doesn't seem like a good candidate for a mechanism that takes less than a second."
The researchers are currently testing another popular explanation that says the elasticity of the plant's cell walls changes, causing the leaves to destabilize and snap together. Colombani says that whatever the mechanisms behind the remarkable plant's bite are, they could have potential applications in medicine or other fields.

Lissa Leege, a plant ecologist and assistant professor of biology at Georgia Southern University, explains.
Perhaps the best known of the insectivorous (insect-eating) plants, the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) exhibits a unique system by which it attracts, kills, digests and absorbs its prey. Because it is a plant and can make its own food through photosynthesis, the Venus flytrap does not eat and digest its prey for the traditional nonplant objectives of harvesting energy and carbon. Instead, it mines its prey primarily for essential nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorous in particular) that are in short supply in its boggy, acidic habitat. So, yes, the Venus flytrap does have a digestive system of sorts, but it serves a somewhat different purpose than an animals does.
How does a stationary organism manage to attract, kill, digest and absorb its prey? First, it lures its victim with sweet-smelling nectar, secreted on its steel-trap-shaped leaves. Unsuspecting prey land on the leaf in search of a reward but instead trip the bristly trigger hairs on the leaf and find themselves imprisoned behind the interlocking teeth of the leaf edges. There are between three and six trigger hairs on the surface of each leaf. If the same hair is touched twice or if two hairs are touched within a 20-second interval, the cells on the outer surface of the leaf expand rapidly, and the trap snaps shut instantly. If insect secretions, such as uric acid, stimulate the trap, it will clamp down further on the prey and form an airtight seal. (If tripped by a curious spectator or a falling dead twig, the trap will reopen within a day or so.) Once the trap closes, the digestive glands that line the interior edge of the leaf secrete fluids that dissolve the soft parts of the prey, kill bacteria and fungi, and break down the insect with enzymes to extract the essential nutrients. These nutrients are absorbed into the leaf, and five to 12 days following capture, the trap will reopen to release the leftover exoskeleton. After three to five meals, the trap will no longer capture prey but will spend another two to three months simply photosynthesizing before it drops off the plant. Plant owners should beware of overstimulating a Venus flytrap: after approximately 10 unsuccessful trap closures, the leaf will cease to respond to touch and will serve only as a photosynthetic organ.
The Venus flytrap occurs in a very restricted range in sandy shrub-bogs in coastal North and South Carolina, where it is listed as an endangered species. The ecosystem that supports Venus flytraps experiences frequent fires that clear out competing plants and volatilize nitrogen in the soil. Hence, Venus flytraps have a corner on the nitrogen market immediately following fire, when they obtain three quarters of their nitrogen supply from insect prey. If fire does not reoccur within 10 years, however, competition with other plants restricts the Venus flytraps access to light and insects, and populations begin to decline. Venus flytraps provide a fascinating example of how organisms adapt to stressful conditions, in this case behaving as predators to make up for the nutrient deficiencies in the surrounding soil.
Answer originally published August 19,2002.
Carnivorous plants, such as the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), rely on nutrients from small prey animals when growing in nutrient-poor soil. When an unsuspecting prey brushes up against two touch-sensitive hairs on the inside of the trap-shaped leaves, the trap snaps shut, ensnaring the prey for later digestion.
The touch-sensitive hairs, known as trigger hairs, signal trap closure using sodium-activated action potentials (APs). An action potential is a way for cells to send information to one another in the form of an electrical signal. It occurs when positively charged ions, such as sodium, enter a cell and cause the electrical environment of the cell membrane to change until it reaches a certain threshold. After it reaches this threshold the cell "fires," sending the electrical signal to another cell to activate a response.
In the case of the Venus flytrap, the two trigger hairs send a signal to the leaves to snap shut. Physical stimulation of one hair releases sodium ions into the hair cell, triggering the first action potential. Stimulating a second hair will release more sodium ions, triggering a second AP. Once two APs are elicited within 15-20 seconds of each other, these electrical signals stimulate motor cells in the leaves to snap the trap shut. This signal is incredibly fast, and the trap snaps shut within 100 ms of the triggering of the second hair.
Once the prey is captured it struggles to escape, continuously brushing more trigger hairs that fire more action potentials. These signals are sent to glands that line the leaves, which release enzymes to digest the prey. The prey is loaded with essential nutrients, including sodium, and its digestion provides a source of new sodium ions to trigger the next action potential to capture the plant's next victim.

Edit Summary
First, you need to take a deep breath and not panic! If your Venus fly trap is turning black, it's most likely going through completely normal processes.
The main reason a trap turns black and dies is that it's simply at the end of its lifespan. Each individual trap on a plant has a lifespan of about three months during which it will catch about 1-4 insects.
As long as green new growth is replacing the dying traps, your plant is doing fine! However there are a number of other reasons why your Venus fly trap is turning black. Read on to find out what these causes may be, and their solutions!
It's quite possible your plant is developing black traps if you fed every single trap on the plant. Yes, insects provide the nourishment that those traps seek, but closing every trap and digesting every single piece of food that's inside those traps takes a huge amount of energy.
Traps may begin to die off to concentrate their remaining energy on photosynthesizing new growth. It's also possible that the overload of nitrogen from too much food causes the traps to die. The solution to this is simply not hand-feeding your plant for about a month. Give it time to recover and maybe catch its own food.
When the new leaves are fully mature and open, you can resume feeding, but only 1-2 traps per plant once a week at the most. For more feeding advice, read my Venus fly trap food guide.
Eating something too big
Too big!
In order to successfully digest its food, a Venus fly trap must seal both sides of its leaves together. Sometimes an insect with long legs or large wings gets caught in the trap. If these legs or wings stick outside of the trap, it cannot fully seal and may turn black and die as a result.
When feeding your plants, remember to keep the food 1/3 the size of the trap. Unfortunately, traps will sometimes bite off more than they can chew on their own. In this situation, leaving the plant alone is the best thing to do. Again, new growth will replace the dying trap.
Stress from moving or repotting
Did you get a new plant within the last month or few weeks? Did you also happen to put it into a new pot? If so, your plant simply need time to adjust to its new conditions. Traps dying on a newly repotted plant is normal, and essentially expected to happen.
To minimize potting stress, wait until the end of dormancy (February or March) before repotting. Even if it's still in the same pot, being shipped in a box or even just a ride in the car from the nursery can be stressful for a plant. Time and good care is the best cure!
Improper soil/water/container
Venus fly traps along with most other carnivorous plants need nutrient-poor soil. The go-to options are usually pure peat moss or New Zealand long fiber sphagnum moss. The soil should be aerated with perlite or silicia sand.
These must have no fertilizers or nutrients added, or the plant may suffer mineral burn. If you're using regular potting soil or something with additives, take your plant out immediately!
Soak it in distilled water while you go out and buy the right ingredients.
On the subject of water, your tap water likely has a higher concentration of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) than what most carnivorous plants can take. If water has 50 ppm (parts per million) TDS or less, then it's safe for carnivorous plants.
Most growers (myself included) need to buy gallons of distilled water for their plants. Saved rain water is also an excellent source for your plants. If you want, you can buy a TDS Meter to check your water sources. You may be one of the lucky ones that has nearly pure tap water! Yes, I'm jealous.
Your planter could also leech minerals into the soil and be the reason your Venus fly trap is turning black. Clay, terracotta, or un-glazed ceramic pots are highly discouraged for carnivores. Because they're porous and made from organic materials, they will add minerals to your soil over time. This is a slow process that you can hold off if you regularly flush your pot with distilled water.
For the long term, you'll want your plants in a plastic, foam or completely glazed ceramic pot.
No terrariums! Planters should be opaque. I like these pots a lot for adult plants, and also have a stack of these handy for seedlings and smaller plants. You can also find good ones at your local dollar or thrift store. Remember they must also have drainage holes in the bottom!
As cold weather approaches, Venus fly traps may start losing more of their leaves in preparation for dormancy. Dormancy is a completely natural process that is essential for Venus fly traps to survive.
When dormant, some plants may lose all of their traps or they could have a few remaining. There won't be much new growth until the next spring, so the only solution is to wait until then.
Dormancy sucks for every grower, but it really makes you appreciate how stunning the plants are in the summer! Consider getting an easy tropical plant like a cape sundew to combat those dormancy blues!

Thanks for reading, and I hope you found this information useful! Good luck with your Venus flytrap and I'll see you in the next blog post!
The Venus flytrap – also known as Dionaea muscipula – is a rare plant that eats small living creatures as prey. Insects and spiders are among its favorite foods. But how does it know when to snap shut?
If you touch a Venus flytrap with a stick, you can probably get it to shut. But your stick won't fool the plant into completing the process of digestion.
That's because each Venus flytrap can close only half a dozen times over the course of its lifetime – so a Venus flytrap is particular about what it decides to digest. In fact, the traps have evolved to ensure that only worthwhile prey will trigger digestion.
How does it work? The answer lies in the construction of the plant itself. Every Venus flytrap has delicate hairs on the inside of its flat leaves. These hairs have to be disturbed twice in 20 seconds in order for the plant to close. The trap closes only when an insect or spider crawling along the leaves comes into contact with one or more of the hairs twice in succession.
But even this double stimulus of the hairs on its leaves won't ensure the process of digestion in a Venus flytrap. Once its outer leaves have closed, the Venus flytrap has to be continuously stimulated by its struggling prey for the digestive process to continue. If there is indeed live prey in the plant, the trap seals around the insect and secretes its digestive juices.
So you might be able to get a Venus flytrap to close around a piece of rubber or a rock. But the plant knows better than to spend time digesting this object.
On the other hand, if a Venus flytrap does successfully absorb its prey, digestion will proceed. In that case, the plant will be open for business again … a few days later.
Venus flytraps are rare in the U.S. In the fall of 2016, American ecologists helped get a petition filed with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Friday seeking emergency Endangered Species Act protection for the Venus flytrap. These plants grow in tough living conditions – sandy, acidic soils that are wet most of the year – in long-leaf pine forests. Frequent fires in these forests act like a dose of fertilizer for these meat-eating plants.
Although Venus flytraps have always had a small geographic range, today only a small percentage of their original habitat remains. They're found in only two U.S. states, along the coastal plains of North and South Carolina.
Scientists say the key to survival for wild Venus flytraps lies in preserving the last stands of U.S. long-leaf pine forests – and in protecting wetlands – and in prescribing fire when needed.
Experts say you can help, too. They say it's important not to buy any wild Venus flytrap plant. Buying only those plants grown in greenhouses is the best way to help preserve Venus flytraps.

Bottom line: Every Venus flytrap has delicate hairs on the inside of its flat leaves. These hairs have to be disturbed twice in about 20 seconds in order for the plant to close.

How to Grow Venus Flytrap
When I was a kid, I thought Venus flytraps really did come from Venus. Their gaping bifold jaws with spiky fringed "teeth" seemed alien enough, but when an insect landed on that enticing pink center and the trap closed with lightning speed, well, that was exciting! Growing Venus flytraps indoors seemed like a superhuman feat. Luckily, it's not difficult if you know how to grow Venus flytrap.

Where Venus Flytraps Grow
Instead of originating one planet away from Earth, Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are perennials native to boggy areas of coastal North and South Carolina. They grow in moist, acidic soils in full sun, but only survive winter outdoors in Zones 8-10. Gardeners in colder-winter climates should grow Venus flytraps in a moist environment, such as a terrarium, that can go indoors during winter.
Growing Venus Flytraps
Venus flytrap care is pretty simple. The carnivorous plant thrives in poor, acidic soil with good drainage. Avoid planting it in regular potting soil: A blend of one-third sand and two-thirds sphagnum peat moss provides the best drainage and moisture retention. Do not add lime to the soil and never fertilize the plant.
Venus flytraps do best in bright light but can live in partial shade. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight in summer, especially if they live under glass, as plants hit with direct sunlight may get too hot and burn up. When grown inside under artificial lights, keep flytraps 4 to 7 inches away from fluorescent lights. If your Venus flytraps don't show a pink interior or if the plants have long, spindly leaves, they are not getting enough sunlight.
For best Venus flytrap care, keep the environment humid and the soil moist but don't let the plants stand constantly in water. Grow them in a pot with drainage holes. If you have a Venus flytrap terrarium, place gravel below the soil for extra drainage. Good air circulation is also important in growing Venus flytrap. Use rain or distilled water to take care of your Venus flytrap, because tap water is often too alkaline or may contain too many added minerals.

Feeding Venus Flytrap
What do Venus flytrap plants eat? The name says it all: The Venus flytrap eats flies (or other small insects). The prey must be alive when caught. Dead flies won't work in Venus flytrap feeding; the insect must move around inside the trap or the trap cannot consume and digest it. The insect must be small enough to fit comfortably inside the trap so it can close tightly to keep out bacteria.
If you grow the plants in a closed terrarium, the easiest Venus flytrap feeding method is to release small flies inside the space. Eventually, the bugs will be attracted to the trap and be consumed. Although flytraps are carnivorous, they can go long periods—a month or two—without eating insects. If you grow them outdoors, they will get enough to eat naturally. If you're growing Venus flytrap indoors, you'll have to feed them dinner periodically.

Winter Dormancy for Venus Flytraps
Venus flytraps, like many other plants, need a period of winter dormancy when they appear to be dead (the leaves may die back) but are merely resting. Keep the plant 35 to 50 degrees F. Don't let terrariums freeze; the plants may die and the glass may break. At about the spring equinox, when days start growing longer, begin to increase warmth and light.
Venus Flytrap Varieties
Plant breeders have been working with Venus flytraps and have come out with a few varieties, such as 'Akai Ryu', which has large burgundy-red traps. These special varieties are available from specialty garden centers or online retailers, like this Red Dragon Fly Trap, $21, Plant Delights Nursery.

About one decade ago, Oliver Wahlstrom had taken perhaps his most famous shot in hockey.
Thanks to a puck-scooping, cradling and whirling sleight-of-hand at TD Garden during a Mini 1-On-1 event, a 9-year-old Wahlstrom wound up riding a viral video all the way through the hockey water cooler world and even to the set of a network morning talk show. YouTube counts quickly shot into the millions, and strangers still feel comfortable telling him their own stories about watching the video clip all those years ago.
Since then, the Boston College freshman has been building a world-class resume on more than just fancy goals. Prior to BC, he played for USA Hockey's National Team Development Program. To kick off this calendar year, he earned a silver medal at the IIHF World Junior Championship, and, this past summer, the New York Islanders made him the No. 11 overall pick in the entry draft.
Not surprisingly, a lot of this success traces back to his shot. We recently caught up with Wahlstrom to offer his Grade A shooting advice.
Change the angle
If you can force a goalie to so much as lift a leg he or she doesn't want to lift, you're going to gain an advantage. Even better if you can pull them off posts or open the wickets.
"It's a huge component of the game," Wahlstrom says of trying to change the angle of the shot simply by moving the release point. "It can catch the goalie off guard. To be able to tuck and drag the puck, then shoot, the goalie may not be expecting that. Shoot from wherever you are in the offensive zone, shoot from weird angles. I think getting people moving and shooting pucks from different directions is key."
Shoot in the opposite direction
In addition to changing the angle a goalie has to cover in terms of a release point, Wahlstrom is also a proponent of changing his angle in relation to the net.
"If you come into the offensive zone and cut across the ice, you could tuck and drag, then shoot it to the other side, because the goalie usually moves when you cut across," says Wahlstrom, who says he aims for four or five shots per game. "I look to do that all the time. Sometimes, I go to the normal side but I also look for that."
Become a well-rounded shooter
Some self-directed shooting practices, not unlike any other kind of workout, can be a service, or disservice, to the effort. Spending every gym workout on your biceps isn't particularly helpful over the long haul in the same way only shooting with one drill isn't going to help your scoring game over the longterm.
"After practice or in my free time after class, I'll just go out and rip pucks," says Wahlstrom. "Doesn't matter where it is on the net, I just try to get my wrists going, getting them warmed up and stronger. I try to do everything. I try to do placement shots, really light, looking for the top corner or lower corner. I might put the puck in an awkward spot by my feet and shoot from there. It doesn't have to be hard or soft, just all different kinds of shots. I don't want just a hard velocity shot. I want to be a goal scorer who can score from anywhere on the ice."
Look to shoot
The quote, "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" is attributed to Wayne Gretzky, and Wahlstrom buys the logic.
"Wherever you are the offense of zone, I think that's a good scoring chance," he says. "Doesn't matter where. If you have that ability, you could get shots off. With a strong shot, if I get it to the net quickly from wherever I am on the ice, good things might happen."
The best advice?
Don't miss.
"When I'm shooting, the No. 1 thing is to hit the net," Wahlstrom says. Doesn't matter how hard or soft, you just have to get the net. My dad would get 200 pucks and put them in a big bucket, and I would just go out shoot on my own. It was fun for me. We might bring old bottles and shoot to break them. Stuff like that. You just have to be creative and make fun ways to get better."
There's more to the game …
If he were given the chance in front of a group of youth hockey players, Wahlstrom, who certainly knows how important goal-scoring has been to his past, present and future career, has some sound advice to even the most motivated shooter.
"Obviously, shooting is one of the most important parts of the game and you want to have that ability to score goals," he says. "But, at the same time, it's not the whole game. You have to work on a lot of other components, too. And have fun and enjoy every moment. Work on everything you can."

- old cars and trucks that don't run;
- and other cars that are unwanted and in the way!

US Junk Cars will pick up your automobile from virtually any location in the Herzog, KS area, including your home, place of employment or other location.

How can US Junk Cars offer cash for clunkers of all makes, models and conditions? It's simple, really. Here's an overview of how the process works:
- 1. You decide you're tired of looking at that unsightly junk car on your property, or perhaps you're sick of dealing with neighbor complaints.
- 2. You call US Junk Cars to inquire about our cash for clunkers program or use our online form to request a quote.

- 6. Your old car will be taken to our junkyard facility, where it will be evaluated. Useful auto parts that are in good condition will be removed and offered for resale. Some wrecks may be sold as fixer-uppers.
- 7. In cases where many of the car parts are removed, the remaining car parts will be sold for scrap metal and recycled.

Simply call USJunkCars.com at 888-871-4488.
Our car recycling experts will ask you a bit of general information about your auto, including:
- - Make;
- - Model;
- - Year;
- - General condition;

Based on the information you provide, we can offer a quote for how much money you'll get for the vehicle.

Can I Still Get Cash for My Old Car if I Don't Have a Title? Keys?
Don't have a title for your old car? No worries! US Junk Cars can still give you money for an old car providing it meets the following criteria:
- 1. You must be the vehicle's owner;
- 2. The automobile must be 10 years old or older; and
- 3. The vehicle is registered in your name.
If you meet these criteria, then US Junk Cars can give you cash for your old car. We also give cash for old trucks, SUVs, mini vans and vans.
Since we'll be towing your vehicle, then selling it for parts or scrap, we don't need the keys. Of course, the keys are helpful, but if you don't have them available, we can still remove the vehicle and give you cash for your unwanted car!
Before You Get Rid of That Old Car...
Before the vehicle is removed from the premises and towed away, you must remember to remove your personal belongings from inside the auto. In addition, you will be asked to remove the license plates, which must be returned to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Also, if the vehicle is registered, remember to contact your insurance company to cancel the policy on your car.
If you don't own the vehicle, you must provide US Junk Cars with a title that has been signed over to you by the legal owner. In cases where an old car has been abandoned on your property, you will need to contact your local police department to obtain special paperwork that must be completed. Once this is tended to, you can sell the junk car for cash from US Junk Cars!
Don't let that eyesore sit on your property any longer! Get cash for old cars and trucks with US Junk Cars' auto salvage and recycling program.
We offer cash for clunkers to private citizens, non-profit organizations and commercial establishments.
Get Money for Your Old Car!
Selling your car's parts on Craigslist can be time consuming - it can literally take months or years to find buyers for all the parts, plus you'll need to actually remove the parts, clean them and ship them out to the buyers! It's a huge time-consuming hassle!
And leaving that old vehicle to rot on your property causes a tremendous eyesore, plus it's a liability!
Get cash for cars in Herzog, Kansas and the surrounding area with US Junk Cars!
Use our online form to find out how much cash you can get for that old vehicle!

Couldn't have asked for more great team to work with. Thanks.
By Johny Dell, on February 10, 2020
I blew the engine in my Toyota. I loved the car, and hated to part with it, but I'm moving in a month and I just don't have the money to put a new engine in it. So I called US JUNK CARS, and they guy was very nice. The offer for the car was on the lower end of what I wanted to get out of it, but the only places that would pay more required me to get the car to them, or pay them to come get it. The cost and time involved in that made the free pick up much more worth it. Since it was Friday when I called, we made arrangements for them to get the car on Monday. The tow truck driver had a few issues with his truck that morning, so he called to let me know he was running late, and he was nice as could be. Once he got close, he was having trouble finding the place (my neighborhood is retarded and doesn't have streets labeled, it wasn't his fault!), so he called me again, and I talked him through how to get here. When he did, the process was quick and easy, and I got a check on the spot. It was sad to watch my car go (since it has been my favorite car so far), but with US JUNK CARS, it was a lot easier than I imagined the process could be. Thanks a lot guys!!!

If you have a busy schedule that makes it hard to accommodate multiple visits to your dentist just to get a crown, Lawrence Square Dental has you covered. We offer same-day crowns that are made to be just as strong, natural-looking, and sturdy as traditional crowns. That way, you can restore your oral health and repair your damaged tooth without the hassle of taking multiple days off of work. All you have to do is pick up the phone and contact us today to schedule an appointment!
CEREC technology, or the chairside economical restoration of esthetic ceramics, has revolutionized the world of dental crowns for patients and professionals alike. In the past, restorations like veneers and crowns required multiple appointments with at least two weeks of waiting time in between. Now, with one-visit crowns in North York, we can craft your brand-new customized restoration within a matter of minutes.
CEREC uses multiple computer-assisted design tools and an in-office milling machine to make natural-looking crowns made from dental porcelain. Here are the three major components of CEREC technology that we use in our office:
To find out whether you can benefit from our CEREC same-day crowns, be sure to schedule a consultation with us. Some advantages that our patients enjoy from this high-tech restorative solution include:
We'll begin the CEREC same-day crown process by preparing your damaged tooth by removing any decay and shaping it to receive the restoration. We'll take digital impressions of your tooth that will be transferred to a computer screen. Using the image, we'll design your new crown based on the specific measurements we've collected. The completed blueprint will then be sent to our in-office milling unit, where we will have a block of dental porcelain waiting, which has been selected to match your natural tooth color. Within about 15 minutes, your new restoration will be crafted, and it will be stronger and more precisely fitting than what you could typically expect from a dental laboratory.
Before we place the crown, we'll make sure that it fits perfectly. After polishing it and permanently securing it to your natural tooth, your restored smile will be ready to go, no follow-up visits necessary!

Understanding our ability to make a difference in the world, at work, school, or for a team or community, leads to a fuller, finer sense of purpose and increases our sense of happiness. Having a sense of purpose involves a combination of living according to one's values and goals and striving to make a positive difference beyond self-interest. Finding purpose requires dedicated commitment, personal meaningfulness, goal directedness, and a vision larger than one's self. There are many paths to identification and many start with the "why"; providing context and direction.

Thomas Miles Richardson, Junior (1813 - 1890)
A Rocky Stream in Scotland Sold
Pencil and watercolour, heightened with white, on two joined sheets of buff paper. Signed TMRichardson at the lower left.345 x 845 mm. (13 1/2 x 33 1/4 in.)ACQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF SCOTLAND, EDINBURGH.ENQUIRE
Panoramic Scottish views such as the present sheet account for much of Richardson's output, and his exhibition watercolours, often quite large in scale and overtly horizontal in format, proved popular with both critics and collectors, usually fetching high prices. As John Ruskin noted of one Highland view, a Scene in Glen Nevis exhibited at the Old Water-Colour Society in 1857, 'Mr. Richard [sic] is gradually gaining in manual power, and opposes cobalt and burnt sienna very pleasantly. But he seems always to conceive a Highland landscape only as a rich medley of the same materials – a rocky bank, blue at one place and brown at another; some contorted Scottish firs; some ferns, some dogs, and some sportsmen: the whole contemplated under the cheering influence of champagne, and considered in very way delightful.'

Spotted On McGuinness Boulevard: Hay
Filed under: 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic
I have no idea what this is about. Is this an attempt at an eco-friendly crash barrier or a feeding station for Roy and Trigger? I suppose only it's creator knows for certain. I saw we toss in a few pumpkins and a scarecrow or two. McGuinness Boulevard could use some holiday cheer!
Miss Heather
P.S.: While I'm on the subject of parks and open space does anyone know what is going on at Sgt. Dougherty Playground?
If I had to hazard a guess I'd say these are planters.
Given this park's rather lackluster location (READ: a trucker bomb's toss from the BQE and the Kosciuszko Bridge) I suppose this is a positive development. Then again, taking into account that the only time I have seen a person at this playground it was a gentlemen named Jemal composing music on a saxophone (because he didn't want to bother anyone) it makes me wonder how meaningful this addition will be. If a rose grows in Sgt. Dougherty Playground and no is around to smell it is it any less fragrant?
People In Our Neighborhood: 128 Beadel Street Speaks!
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg
On July 8, 2009 a missive entitled "128 Beadel Street" from a gentleman named Waldemar found its way to my inbox. He wrote:
Hey it's Waldemar @ 128. Pass by and check out my Weeping Wall both day and nite and feel free to snap a few shots. For nite shots it's best after 8PM.
Well, I have yet to make it over to see the Weeping Wall after dark— but I did swing one afternoon earlier this week. What's more, I met the man behind the Weeping Wall himself: Waldemar!
Not only was he gracious to talk to me for the better part of an hour, but he took me on a guided tour of his home! He is easily as fascinating — if not more so— than the fabulous oasis he has created. Follow are some highlights from our meeting.
Using Chinese Astrology (and zero credit) Waldemar landed this house in 1991 (year of the sheep). Twelve years later (2003, once again year of the sheep) he acquired the property next door: 130 Beadel Street (which he has since turned around and sold—but not before giving the front door his personal touch).
Waldemar explained to me that the year of the sheep is a particularly auspicious year to purchase property. He is also resolute in his belief that this is how he avoided the sub-prime mortgage crisis. Who am I to argue? Whatever system he has created appears to be working!
He went on to explain he did not want this house to be acquired by people who reside at 132 Beadel, whom he referred to as his "enemies". He did not go into any details as to why there is acrimony between him and these folks and I did not ask. Although I suspect his aesthetic sense probably has something to do with it.
For example, he told me that a number of his neighbors took issue with the dragons gracing his front door. They felt these bad boys— not Beadel Street's remote location, being positioned on top of the infamous "oil spill" or possibly being located atop the Meeker Avenue plume— were discouraging prospective buyers from purchasing a house on this block. Then he continued his discourse on Chinese Astrology:
Mike Bloomberg is a horse. Horses like to take things away from one person and give them to another. They think this makes them look generous. While the city suffers he is getting richer and richer.
I can't honestly argue with that. Then I made the mistake of telling Waldemar my Chinese zodiac sign: year of the dog.
Dogs and Horses are friends.*
He said. To wit I replied:
Michael Bloomberg is not my friend. What's more, I do not think anyone earning under $200,000 a year is his friend.
- He is fifty years old and retired.
- He is single.
- He is very food-conscious. Not only is he a vegan, but he refrains from eating tomatoes or citrus (which he believes to be poisonous). He will only eat his own home-cooking.
- He makes his own lychee-infused vodka, which he assures me is quite delicious.
- He is an animal lover.
It all started with a litter mate of this lovely lass:
Her brother was diagnosed with leukemia so Waldemar took him in. He has since passed but Waldemar now counts a parakeet (he rescued from horrific conditions) and a thirty pound cat named "Vandervoort" as roommates. On top of that he has made a number of other feline friends.
Like this feral fella who likes to lounge on his stoop.
And this urban tigress who belongs to his next door neighbor (who is not his enemy). He has made special beds for his kitty callers and sometimes places them out for them to enjoy.
It is a living extension its owner: filled with fascinating objects from a life lived to the fullest. Take these cylindrical "core sample" looking thingamajigs. He explained to me that when he worked at World Trade Center and they needed to install telephone lines they had to bore a hole through the floor to run the cables through. These are the byproducts of this practice. He likes to use them as paperweights. He sent the one in the middle to his mother in Puerto Rico. She didn't much fancy it so she sent it back. It just goes to show beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
And on that note I will close with a slide show showcasing the numerous items of interest I saw at Waldemar's chateau. A domicile— I will add— that is actually two apartments which he alone inhabits.
If I don't need tenants, I don't want 'em.
Who can argue with that?
As we parted ways Waldemar confided in me that he rarely goes out anymore.
Maybe once or twice a week…
he said and then he pointed back at his front door
…I have a whole world in there.
Not only is this true, I can personally attest it is a very wonderful one at that!
Miss Heather
*Clarification per Waldemar:
…regarding my statement about the do and horse being friends, it only means that for example the year of the Horse is good for you and what people born under that sign do, benefits you by bringing the best out of you. So in your case, the worst Mayor Bloomberg does the more material that will come your way. (Man is he ever right there— Ed. Note) By the way 2010 the year of the tiger is your other good year, And I predict much success for you and your site.

New York Shitty Day Ender: Behind The Blue Door
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic
From Norman Avenue.
Miss Heather
P.S.: Speaking of doors…
This one should be familiar to a number of you, dear readers. It graces 128 Beadel Street which is easily my favorite house in Greenpoint— and possibly all of New York City. Well, the owner of this house has reached out to me and today I met him face-to-face. Not only is he a very nice guy, but he gave me the full tour! Stay tuned, you will not be disappointed!
New York Shitty Day Starter: "Shotgun"
Filed under: Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg
Ordinarily this would qualify as a "person in my neighborhood" but "Shotgun" (as seen in the above photo at right) was so extraordinary I felt he deserved a post of his own. Here it is.
Yesterday and friend and I went for a walk. Just to mix things up I decided we would go to the "hinterlands" of the Garden Spot— in other words: east of Kingsland Avenue, due south to the on ramp to the Kosciuszko Bridge and beyond.
It was at the intersection of Vandervoort Avenue and Cherry Street— an area which can best be described as the "armpit" of Greenpoint— that we encountered a truck selling watermelons, potatoes, fruits, nuts and vegetables. And a very unexpected ray of sunshine.
Or would that be "Shotgun" Having interfaced with a number of gun nuts in my life— mostly from the south— I asked the proprietor what gives.
After striking a pose (actually two) he told me:
That's my nickname! Are you a visitor?
Me: Yes, I'm a visitor… from THAT (pointing north) end of Greenpoint.
SHOTGUN: Greenpoint? That's (pointing north) over there!
Me: But I am over here! I like to be a tourist in my own neighborhood…
Me: I hope you have some earplugs or aspirin, Shotgun. How can you deal with all this noise?
Hell, I'm 70 years old. I can take it!
(Even more laughter)
Anyone who can spend 8+ hours next to the:
- loudest
- filthiest and
- overall depressing
part of the Garden Spot and still have a sense humor, much less display a joie de vivre rarely seen by anyone nowadays, gets my infinite respect, admiration, and yes— affection.
I really like you, Shotgun. You rock!
Miss Heather
*Lest I have offended anyone by calling this area such, it was not intended. I use this term with tongue firmly placed in cheek.
Fun With Rock Photography in New York City
Filed under: Bushwick, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg
(Or: Don't F**K With The DOS's Boulder)
It could be argued that the only thing I like more than getting a good mind fuck is administering one. You know what they say: it is much better to give than to receive. Today I arose to a beautiful day and after catching myself staring wistfully out my living room window one too many times I decided to table the blog and go for a walk. A long walk. On days such as this I long to get a little taste of spring time— albeit not in the manner many of my fellow New Yorkers do. When they head to the park or take a nice stroll along the waterfront I pay a visit to the hinterlands of north Brooklyn Industrialville. To bastardize my buddy Brando Robert Duvall* from Apocalypse Now:
I love the smell of PCBs in the morning.
Which brings me to the not-so-small rock gracing the beginning of this post and the subject of mind fucks. I found this item on Gardiner Avenue just north of Varick Street. For those of you who are not in the know this rock is located on a rather sizable plot of land owned by the Department of Sanitation. This facility is patrolled by a security guard who I had the pleasure of meeting. He was your average Joe with a job to do; in this case, preventing people (ostensibly terrorists) from photographing their installation. Our conversation started as follows:
You can't photograph that.
He said. To wit I replied:
I'm not going to argue with you, but could you tell me why this rock is painted green?
"That rock belongs to the Department of Sanitation" he said "and they do not want anyone taking photographs of their facility".
I said. "Believe you me the last place I want to hang out at on a pretty day like this is a waste transfer facility on Whale Creek. I simply like to photograph oddities. Take that truck down the street, for example…
…I've found Betty Boop on more things than you can possibly imagine. Just a couple weeks ago a found a refrigerator covered in Betty Boop stickers. I took a photograph of that too. As for that rock, well, I suppose it makes sense that the Department of Sanitation would paint it green. As you said, it is their rock and they can do with it whatever they wish. There are a lot of big rocks in this area. Many of them are painted and I have taken photographs of a number of them. There's one at the intersection George Street and Evergreen Avenue someone has clad in plaid.
I really like that one."
There's also a rather nice boulder at the corner of Vandervoort Avenue and Division Place. It advertises sand and gravel for sale. A pretty witty selling tool if you ask me.
Then of course there's the rock at Morgan Avenue and Rock Street.
That one has since been removed. Why I don't know. Some people thought it was ugly but I rather liked it.
And then you have Arbitration Rock. Haven't seen that one yet but I plan to!
It was at this point my new friend smiled. I suspect his years of experience informed him that a daft 30-something broad clad in pink pants, pink shoes, pink shirt, pink jacket and pink hair held at bay with an aqua blue bandanna (I lost my pink one a month ago) babbling about North Brooklyn's boulders did not constitute a security breach. At least not one worth contacting the authorities about. Long story made short he relented and let me take a photograph of the Department of Sanitation's rock.
Whoever you are security dude I will be eternally grateful to your generosity for allowing me to add this big boy to my collection. Thanks!

Individuals and X-Bar R Control Chart: Benefits and Usage
Assuming that your processes produce data on a very low frequency, maybe once a week or twice a month, how long do you think will it take to collect several data elements? Certainly, a lot. As a result, you would rarely plot a point. In this type of situation, individuals control charts should be used.
What Is The Individuals Control Chart?
The Individuals control chart helps in examining variation in the data elements. The chart is useful when you have just one data point at a given time to depict a situation. Like other variables control charts, it contains two charts:
Chart1: Represents Individual Sample Result (X). The chart indicates long-term variation in the process or how the mean or average changes over time.
Chart2: Represents Moving Range (R) between consecutive individual samples. The chart indicates short-term variation or how the range of subgroup varies over time.
"Usually, the X-Bar Chart is combined with an R-Chart to inspect processes where data is not available frequently. The chart monitors variation in sample results over time and checks whether the process is in control."-Sanket Saha, Process Manager.
5 Benefits of Using Individuals Control Chart
Benefit#1: Individuals control charts can be used when you have a single data element to represent a given situation. You can plot an element on the chart for each sample collected. This allows you to establish whether or not your process is in statistical control for each sample collected.
Benefit#2: Control charts (X-Bar and R Charts) are useful in a manufacturing or production environment to control, examine and improve a process. Common variations arising due to material, machines, time, etc. can be corrected and normal output can be resumed.
Benefit#3: While it is not possible to subgroup data elements due to low frequency, you can use the control chart for the assessment of results.If your processes are in statistical control (indicating the consistency in individual sample results or successive sample results over time), the average on the Individuals chart is your population average that can be used to calculate the population standard deviation.Moreover, since the processes are in statistical control, you can predict how the processes will perform in the future.
Benefit#4: The objective of plotting the control chart is to identify any variation in the process. If the data elements are exceeding the control limits, the operator would immediately adjust.
Benefit#5: The chart can be used to identify statistically unnatural patterns and decide when to take action.
"If you are thinking of using the Individual Charts more often, you should first ascertain if the individual sample results are normally distributed. If not, the chart is likely to give more false forecasts for the tests, indicating that your processes are out of control when they are not."- Pankaj Tyagi, Quality Control Specialist.
How To Use?
- Select the suitable control chart for your processes.
- Determine the suitable time period for gathering and plotting data.
- Gather data, plot your chart, and examine the data.
If you find "out-of-control signals" on the chart, investigate the cause. Record how you identified the cause and rectified it.
Don't have the time to create a chart on your own?
Simply, download this template and customise it to your liking. This spreadsheet is a template that can be used to enter data so that you can perform manual charting on time.

Apple Accessories Store
Store Name: ESVNE
Store Description: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_dTMxntT
Price range: $10 - $30
- Airpower Alternatives
If you haven't heard of the Apple Airpower, you have company.
I'm a bit ashamed to say I hadn't heard of it either. Me being the tech guy and all had no clue about the Apple Airpower. So for the uninitiated, it's basically a charging pad that could charge your iPhone, Apple Watch and your Air Pods, all at once, at the same time and at the same place.
That's pretty cool, right? Of course, it is! Once I knew, I was super excited and then Apple decided to rain on my parade. They cancelled the Airpower.
They have decommissioned the beasts of charging devices and now I had to find Airpower Alternatives.
This article is dedicated to all the alternatives that are going to save the day.
Best Airpower Alternatives 2020
- SZYSGSD Wireless Charger
- Standing Wireless Charger
- Ugreen Flat Charger
- 3 in 1 Wireless Apple Charger Series
- Raxfly Wireless Charger
- Binmer Wireless Charger
- Baseus Wireless Charger
- 2 in 1 Wireless Charger
- 3 in 1 Wireless Charger Most Unique Design
One of the most stylish and smart wireless charging devices come from a brand whose name is quite difficult to pronounce – SZYSGSD. This is a charging pad that minimalists would love. It's a flat rectangular pad with rounded edges. It's a universal charger that can charge Apple devices as well as Samsung devices.
You can charge multiple devices at the same time. An Apple Watch along with an iPhone. It has a cooling pad at the bottom for the heat to flow out incase the pad starts heating up.
Wireless Charging
This Wireless charger is one of the cheapest chargers out there. It costs only $3.79 and charges a variety of phones across all brands. Huawei, Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, you name it.
It's also case friendly and the charge does reach your phone even though the case. This is so tiny that it can even be carried easily. The one con is, you can onyl charge one device at a time!
#3 – Standing Wireless Charger
I personally love standing wireless chargers because they look super cool and you can perform multiple functions while still charging your phone. The Ugreen standing wireless charger lets you place your phone vertically or horizontally while charging. This means, you can watch videos, you can face time or skype your friends, you can check your email and so on. This is much better than a flat charging pad as all these functions cannot be performed on that.
#4 – Ugreen Flat Charger
Ugreen is known for their wireless charging devices as it is Qi-enabled and they are super safe and strong devices. Over 40% charge can be achieved within an hour with a Ugreen flat charger.
It's faster than a lot of other wireless charging devices because of its 10W power. There is no requirement to remove your case as well, as you can charge with the case on.
#5 – 3 in 1 Wireless Apple Series
What if you wanted to charge your phone, smartwatch and earpods all at once? Then you need to go for the FDGAO Qi Wireless. This is one of the most beautiful charging stations I've seen in my life. This can charge all your devices at the same time.
It's designed specifically for the Apple Series and can charge the Apple Pencil as well. Even though it's capable of charging three devices at once, it's still quite petite. When you are working, you can charge all your devices in one shot.
#6 – Raxfly – Two Charging Modes – Wireless Charger
This is another 2 in 1 option for Samsung and Apple devices. This lets you charge two devices at the same time. One of the best features of the Raxfly Wireless is the charging modes. You can charge at 7.5W power or you can charge with 10W power, it's up to you!
That feature is available only for Samsung phones, but it's still worth it!
#7 – Binmer – 3 in 1
Generally, flat chargers don't have the capacity to charge multiple devices at once because you'll need to create enough space to place all three devices. The Binmer Flat Charger does this successfully. It is a flat charger that can charge your iPhone, Apple Watch and the Airpods all in one shot. It's flat, which means it's easily portable and you don't have to worry about clogging the space too much.
#8 – Baseus 2 in 1 Wireless Charger
If you want a flat wireless charger which looks premium and has a premium finish, then Baseus should be your choice. This Baseus wireless charger is pretty unique. It can charge two devices at once, it has the notification feature which helps you figure out the status of your charging.
If your light is blinking then there is a foreign body on your charger. Similar to that, there are other light notification features for fully charged devices.
Similar to Apple Watch chargers that have a magnetic feel when you put it for charge, the Baseus charger also automatically attracts your Apple Watch, when you bring it closer.
#9 – 2 in 1 Wireless Charger – Unique Design
If you want a mix of the flat charger and the standing charger, then you can consider this 2 in 1 charger where you charge your iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time!
#10 – 3 in 1 Wireless Charger – Most Unique Design
One of the most innovative 3 in 1 charger is this charging dock holder that is cheaper than most of its contemporaries. It's a pretty flat design and has a groove for placing your phone, has a cylindrical design for placing the Apple Watch and on top of the cylinder is the place for charging the Airpod. Pretty neat and clean!

Alan KellyQuestion:
293. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will provide all correspondence to or from her Department with Pobal to date in 2019. [42785/19]View answer
Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 October 2019
293. Deputy Alan Kelly asked the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs if she will provide all correspondence to or from her Department with Pobal to date in 2019. [42785/19]View answer
Pobal administers a significant number of schemes and programmes for the Department of Children and Youth Affairs, and there is almost daily interaction between the two bodies, involving correspondence to and from several officials of my Department. The correspondence would arise, for example, in relation to the development of the new National Childcare Scheme, the operation of the existing childcare schemes such as ECCE, AIM, CCS, TEC, the operation of the Better Start Quality Development Service, and a range of other operational matters connected with Pobal's work for my Department. These include a significant compliance regime, the administration of annual Programme Support Payments, a continuous professional development scheme, a learner fund for up-skilling the workforce and annual capital schemes. Correspondence would also relate to the governance of Pobal, agreements relating to the annual programmes of work, individual service offers and funding.
Taking account of the volume of correspondence involved, it would not be possible for my Department to provide the information requested within the timescale available, and the correspondence would be voluminous. However, I am anxious to assist the Deputy in his query to the greatest extent feasible. If the Deputy could narrow his request for correspondence into specific areas, topics, or dates, my officials would then endeavour to assist him as much as possible. I would note, of course, that the timescale for responding in full to his request will depend on the volume of correspondence that he is seeking.
