It's generally inserted into the jaw bone of a patient and a prosthetic tooth is affixed to the dental implant for ensuring a permanent recovery from untimely tooth/teeth loss.
Gone are those days, when dentures and dental bridges were the only restorative options for curing missing teeth. With the cursory level of advancement sipping into the soil of corrective dentistry, a number of restorative tools like all on 4 dental implants San Diego, etc. have been introduced.

- The material used for making dental implants
- The additional restorative procedures performed during the treatment
- Tissue grafting

- Sinus lifting
- Computer terminology scanning fees are not cost-effective
- Bone grafting is a necessary and an expensive step to tick off

On November 25th, ICCJ held a seminar and luncheon on the possible impacts - for Europe and for the rest of the world - of the ongoing economic and financial developments in China, which have recently come to the forefront of the international policy debate.
Guest speakers at the seminar were Mr. Angelo Cicogna, Head of Bank of Italy Representative Office in Tokyo, and Mr. Akio Takahara, Professor of Contemporary Chinese Politics at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Law and Politics.
Mr. Cicogna stated that "the slow down we are going through now is not a shock but rather the continuation of a trend. What we are facing is not a crisis of the economic system; it is an adjustment process which has implications not only for China but also for its counterparts." He continued by explaining that policy makers around the world are very much supportive of China authorities' efforts to rebalance their economy in order for its expansion to become more sustainable, by relying more on consumption and on the services sector, after a prolonged phase of rapid growth of exports and fixed investments.
He also gave insight on graphs describing China's role in the world economy: "if we look at China's GDP in the last ten years, we can observe that for example, in 2004, China's GDP growth rate was about 10.1%, and its contribution to the world's GDP growth was about 0.9%. In 2014, China's GDP growth was reduced to about 7.3%, but its contribution to the world's GDP was increased to about 1.2%. This shows how much the global role of Chinese economy has increased over the past few decades."
Mr Cicogna's conclusion is that "while China's slowdown is likely to continue in the short run, this should not represent an impediment for the longer term development of the global economy; according to the International Monetary Fund the Country is expected to have a growth of 6.3% in 2020 and still contribute significantly to the world growth that is expected to reach 4.0% in that same year."
Recently the reforms agenda of China's authorities is focused on creating a more durable and solid footing for the longer-term growth performance. This means on the demand side, the increase of domestic consumption, and on the supply size, the increase of the share of services.
The implications for the partners are the birth of new opportunities, not just challenges: for example, Japan has recorded a slowdown in the export of goods to China but has significantly increased the export of services, especially those related to tourism. China can also become an increasingly important partner for medium – high end consumer goods producers, such as Italy.
After the overview by Mr. Cicogna, professor Akio Takahara focused on China's external policy as a window, providing a perspective on what's happening in Japan.
He underlined that, while the Japanese position has not changed during the years, Japanese-Chinese relations became friendlier since last year. As a result, an important dialogue was established with Japan. There are many reasons to justify this change: from the economic point of view, Chinese leaders realized the importance of Japanese investments and technological transfer for the flourishing and dynamism of their economy. It was finally clear for Chinese leaders that political relations affected economic exchange.
He also mentioned the "One Belt, One Road" Initiative proposed by China and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement to better understand the economic impacts and geopolitical influences.
The conclusion of Prof. Akio Takahara about the possible effects of China's economic slowdown on its politics and diplomacy, is that "not only external observers but also Chinese themselves say that there are two possibilities: there is the possibility of China to further develop relations with neighbours, for instance understanding the importance of Japanese contribution; on the other hand, the second possibility is that depending on how much the economic downtown will be in the future and as a consequence the instability in China society, then Xi Jinxing can be tempted to go back to the previous position towards Japan and whip up nationalism again to unite the parties and the Nation".

The Cambridgeshire Guided Busway linking St Ives, Cambridge and Trumpington opened on 7 August 2011. There have been successes - millions of passengers on the buses, and thousands of cyclists, walkers and horse-riders on the 'access track'. But there have also been problems - flooding of the cycle track, punctuality spring to mind, accidents and bumpy track. The blog is for anyone who wants to discuss their experiences of using the guided busway.

James McLaughlin, Contractor MPRI, Killed in Afghanistan
Posted by defensebaseactcomp on April 28, 2011
From the Press Democrat.com April 28, 2011
A Santa Rosa man who had been working in Afghanistan for the past three years as a civilian contractor was one of nine Americans killed Wednesday in a shooting near Kabul International Airport.
James McLaughlin Jr., 55, and eight U.S. troops died early Wednesday when a veteran Afghan pilot opened fire during a meeting in a military compound near the airport.
His wife, Sandy McLaughlin, said Thursday she was notified that he had been shot to death, but was not told any of the circumstances.
"The only thing I know is an Afghan pilot opened fire and my husband was shot and killed," she said.
Her husband retired as a lieutenant colonel from the U.S. Army in 2007, after 25 years in the service.
The following year, he began training helicopter pilots in Afghanistan for L-3 MPRI, an Alexandria, Va., division of the giant defense contractor, said Rick Kiernan, a vice president of communications for L-3.
"He was one of 12 trainers we have," Kiernan said. "Having been a retired lieutenant colonel, his skills were in aviation."
McLaughlin, who had lived in Sonoma County since 1987, was also an avid ham radio enthusiast. He helped set up a digital communications system for the ham operators who are part of the Sonoma County Office of Emergency Services disaster communications network, said Ken Harrison of Santa Rosa, a friend for 20 years and fellow ham operator.
In Afghanistan, McLaughlin worked on the U.S. Army Military Auxiliary Radio System, a Department of Defense-funded ham radio program that helped keep U.S. troops in contact with family at home.
"He didn't talk too awful much about the danger," Harrison said. "I think he liked to downplay that end of that. He didn't want people to worry."
McLaughlin's death sent shock waves through the close-knit ranks of ham radio operators. He had been home in Santa Rosa two weeks ago before returning to Kabul.
"My gut hurts," Harrison said. "He was just in town. I am upset that I didn't get to see him."
Wednesday's attack was the fourth in the past two weeks in which someone wearing an Afghan security-force uniform struck from within a government compound.
The shooting occurred during a morning meeting between American and Afghan officers. Nine Americans were killed and five Afghan soldiers were wounded.
North Atlantic Treaty Organization forces killed the attacker in a gunfight.
L-3's Kiernan said the shooting occurred in what has been considered a secure compound in Kabul.
"They are looking into the incident to find out what would have motivated the perpetrator," said L-3's Kiernan.
The Taliban quickly claimed responsibility for the attack, identifying the assailant as a Taliban militant named Azizullah from a district of Kabul province.
The gunman's brother insisted he was not a Taliban sympathizer. The attacker, identified as Ahmad Gul Sahebi, 48, was an officer who had served as a pilot in the Afghan military for two decades and was distressed over his personal finances, said the brother, Dr. Mohammad Hassan Sahibi.
"He was under economic pressures and recently he sold his house. He was not in a normal frame of mind because of these pressures," Sahibi said. "He was going through a very difficult period of time in his life."
Since March 2009, 48 NATO troops and military contractors have been killed in at least 16 attacks in which Afghans have turned their weapons on coalition forces, for reasons investigators later attributed to battlefield stress and personal animosity toward coalition soldiers, rather than Taliban infiltration.
Sandy McLaughlin said she was naturally concerned about his work in the war-torn country.
"This job was offered, he was using his military background and he was doing something he loved," she said. "He loved doing the work."
The couple had been married 28 years. They have three adult children, Adam McLaughlin, Eve McLaughlin-Suttif and James McLaughlin, all of Santa Rosa.
Sandy McLaughlin said her husband's body is being brought back to Dover, Del., on Friday and then will be returned to Santa Rosa.

Humm,,, No surprise.. this was the same threat we dealt with in Afghanistan since 2003 so no shocker here. If they aren't American, Canadian, or British.. they are a threat. If you are in the protection world anyone and I mean anyone not part of your detail is a threat.. that means US Soldiers as well. NO one can be trusted.
I am aware of a situation that a protective team killed a Afghan soldier for simply moving his weapon in a manner he shouldn't have. Too bad… he may have just been stupid but guess what.. screw them.. they need us to protect their country we are going home no matter what. Complain, complain the liberals in our State Department.. o my should we have waited.. and guess what we could have ended up like these poor souls..
April 30, 2011 at 1:58 am
You know this reminds me of an attack on a detail in Iraq when a one of our famed Liberal Diplomats from the State Department Linda Allen. was the principle.. Under enemy fire she complained…
"If you stop shooting at them, they will stop shooting at you"
Just how insane are these folks many risk their lives for? Hell, if we stopped shooting she would have had her head cut off on National TV.
Wake UP..
April 30, 2011 at 11:47 am
We need to get out of Aghanistan and Iraq and any where else we are and then nuke em. 'These butchers do not want democracy. They have been killing each other for years. We're not going to change that. Let them kill each other. An American life is not worth all the democracy building that we have been purportedly been doing. This is a complete joke.

The Anti-Female Genital Mutilation strategic documents were launched at Laico Regency Hotel by Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs Prof. Margaret Kobia on December 14, 2018.
The Anti-FGM board in partnership with United Nation International Children Emergency Fund(UNICEF) and United Nations Funds for Population Activities (now United Nations Populations Fund)(UNFPA) compiled the materials together for publishing through the assistance of organizations and practitioners in the fight against FGM. These documents include Anti-FGM Board Progress Report (2014-2017), Guidelines for Conducting Alternative Rites of Passage, a portable Kenya Prohibition of FGM ACT, 2011, Resource Mobilization strategy as well as a colorful and informative children's book about FGM.
"It starts by the girl being laid down on her back and the circumciser begins to work on her, after which later on the cut is covered by a charcoal-like paste which is a mixture of Hildid and Malmal (a Somali Herb), to help in healing. Her legs are then tied together all the way down to help in putting the paste to place and she is left for about a week. The cutters, usually old women come to check on the healing progress and if all is well, the girl is allowed to join other girls as a "complete" woman. If the wound is not healed, she will have to stay in the segregated room until she is 'discharged' ", narrated Sadia Hussein, Coordinator of Dayaa Women Group.
This is a group of FGM survivors who have pledged not to allow their daughters to "face the knife" and are running community led activities in Tana River to sensitize community members against FGM. Hussein called upon community elders and religious leaders to stop putting women through pain while going through womanhood and motherhood.
Key stakeholders and partners with the Anti-FGM board are calling upon related ministries in the national government to combine their efforts in making Kenya realize the dream of an FGM free country. UNFPA representative Ademola Olajide asked the Ministry of Health to be very firm in the campaign as reliable data lies with them because when a mother goes to a clinic or a hospital for delivery services, doctors are able to tell if a mother has been cut or not. This data would help in research and also in finding out what statistics there are, monitoring and upgrade of services to safeguard women and girls.
"More than 50% of Kenya's population is women and therefore it would be difficult to make national changes if women are not part of decision making. We need to guarantee women and girls their rights and provide assurance that their participation is appreciated and taken into account."
The room filled with representatives from across the counties especially FGM hotspots, Ijara Constituency MP Hon. Sophia Abdi called upon the devolvement of the Anti-FGM board in these marked areas to ensure that the grassroots are well covered in terms of support and aid.
"The times to stay in board rooms have to change and have chairs and CEO's going to the field and working from there."
MP Abdi assured to use her voice in forums to bring leaders together and work with Parliamentarians to mobilize resources much needed in the affected societies.
"As an FGM survivor, I had to table my experience in Parliament while I sought support. We need proper resources to finish this work."
Principal Secretary State Department of Gender Affairs Hon. Safina Kwekwe,noted that times are changing and so as practitioners, the rules of the game have to change as well in terms of how FGM is being discouraged. "The FGM act has existed for 7 years now but some areas which had 0% prevalence are now practicing." She stated that it is for a fact that some areas in Kenya for example Bungoma, are now mutilating girls unlike how it was before. Some of the hotspot areas are not getting the cover they should be getting and thus girls continue to suffer in the hands of traditional customs.
Moving to cut the ribbon and officially declaring these documents launched, Prof. Kobia asked individuals present to utilize available resources and encourage women, community elders and men to hold discussions with girls and other community members against the practice of FGM, stating that FGM ends with us.
"I have confidence that this launch will serve its purpose for substantial reduction of prevalence rates of FGM in Kenya."

An Exercise for Exploring Anger
Do this exercise once a day for a month or so. It only takes a few minutes. This exercise encourages you to explore your anger so that you can take a more contained approach toward it.
Find a quiet time and place with no distractions (turn off the TV and background music). Close your eyes and visualize someone you are angry with. Feel the anger welling up inside you. Make the anger swell. Now observe your body's reaction to the anger you are feeling. Observe your thoughts during your anger. Feel your state of being angry and then breathe calmly and deeply. Now tell yourself: "I'm not going to take action – I'm just going to breathe my way through these feelings until I can handle them comfortably. My anger is my own, and I am in control of it." And in time you can come to realize that you feel comfortable with your anger. It's simply a normal emotion which, in the end, can help us to deal with life's problems. (Note: since anger is such a powerful emotion for some people, it is strongly recommended that this exercise be done under the guidance of a trained psychotherapist.)

Late Houston Goals Turn the Tables in Orlando Pride Home Loss
ORLANDO, Fla. (FNN SPORTS) – The Orlando Pride returned home to face the Houston Dash at Orlando City Stadium Wednesday hungry for another win, while the Dash came to Orlando needing a victory after last Friday's 3-1 loss to Portland Thorns FC on their own turf.
The Pride were ready to play, but the Dash brought their top defensive game. They kept the pressure on from early in the match, making the Pride earn every second they had with the ball.
In the 13th minute, Morgan had a great opportunity for a goal. She earned a free kick due to a battle for the ball with Houston's Clare Polkinghorne, but missed the goal, hitting the left goalpost instead.
Kristen Edmonds had another close one in the 19th minute with a quick left cross and shot on goal, but Houston goalie Jane Campbell extended her left foot just in time to block the shot.
Morgan got a second chance in the 22nd minute, kicking the ball straight to the back of the net from Shelina Zadorsky's right cross, putting Orlando on the board first with 1-0.
Despite the goal, however, Houston kept the pressure on and remained stingy. The score remained 1-0 at the half.
The first substitutions came in the second half. In the 64th minute, Orlando subbed in Sydney Leroux for Kristen Edmonds while Houston subbed in Veronica Latsko for Nichelle Prince. In the 70th minute, Orlando subbed in Rachel Hill for Marta.
The duel for the ball remained intense in the second half. It appeared Orlando increased its offensive intensity, but Houston's speed proved a great threat. In the 75th minute, Allysha Chapman was issued a yellow card for her head to head collision with Christine Nairn.
In the 77th minute, Orlando subbed in Chioma Ubogagu for Alex Morgan.
Kealia Ohai socred the equalizer for Houston in the 80th minute, making the score 1-1.
In the 83rd minute, Houston's Sofia Huerta scored on a free kick, giving them the lead at 2-1. It also didn't help Orlando that Carson Pickett was issued a yellow card in the 90th minute, and the Pride earned two more penalties in stoppage time.
All in all, Orlando Pride Head Coach Tom Sermanni still had an open mind about the team's overall performance despite the loss.
"In soccer, sometimes, one-nil is never safe. We didn't get that second goal to finish [Houston] off to then ease the pressure on us…I can't really fault the performance except the fact that we didn't capitalize on the chances that we created and we got punished for being a little bit sloppy a couple of times and lost a couple of goals. But overall I thought our performance in general was very, very good tonight." – Orlando Pride Head Coach Tom Sermanni
The Pride return to Orlando City Stadium Saturday at 3:30pm to face the league's top team, North Carolina Courage.

Metallica – "Fade to Black" – (1984)
Well you can't buy Metallica MP3s on Amazon, apparently. "Fade to Black" is a pretty good Metallica song from the 80s. Ride the Lightning was also one of their better albums. While it's still metal, the song is much softer than many of Metallica's songs – maybe that's because it features a strong acoustic guitar before the electric really takes over. It also has an awesome guitar solo. Just something a little heavier for your Monday.

My tenth month of living in Australia has crept up extremely quickly. When you're so immersed into something time just slips away. How is it that I have only a few weeks left here?
Travelling has become such a big part of who I am. In the back of my mind I am always concocting where I will jet off to next. Although this time round home will be for longer; to really look into and start my career path, earning much-needed money, spend time with the family and friends, and get to finally meet Tom's family.
Going away to Australia I was free and open-minded, I felt fresh and raring to get out and enjoy every moment, never knowing that I was going to meet someone to continue my journey with. It is the best thing that has ever happened. To have done and seen everything we ever hoped for in Aus I am raring to get home and see where our next journey takes us.
Australia has always been a fall back place for travelling, an easy option, an option many under 30s take as a first base country to explore. I have loved it here, it's a beautiful county, and the way everything has gone couldn't have gone better. But I don't feel the love for this place like the majority of travellers do, the eagerness to extend the visa into more time or to start a fresh new life away from your home country. I feel they're is so much more to explore in this world and it doesn't stop here, Australia for me lacked the history, the cold Christmas, Marmite, and the architect of houses are shit. To travel to another country I love and yearn to live amongst another culture, to experience a different way of living, I just didn't get that here.
In my last post I explained how I lost my job as an Au Pair and had moved into Tom's place until we are to head to New Zealand. It has been a fantastic very chilled few weeks, exploring spots of Sydney.
Spots included; Manly dam, a brilliant place for a walk and picnic with a quick dip in the reservoir on a hot day. North Head, just beyond Manly, a cliff edge that shows off fantastic views across the Sydney skyline. Newtown held a festival a few weeks back that we checked out; a trendy bohemian suburb in the city which holds the best gelato cafe in the world; Cow and the Moon.
Close by is the up and coming student suburb Glebe, which also held a street festival, donned with delicious worldwide foods and quirky stalls. Tom and I also headed to my first horse racing day held at Royal Randwick Racecourse. It was a beautiful day and great fun betting, although we didn't win a penny!
Of course we finished our last few days in Sydney making the most of the beach and weather, swimming in the beautiful clear waters, and checking out the famous spots one last time; Mrs Macquarie's Chair, the Opera House and the wonderful Harbour Bridge. We even found a little tea room serving tea and scones nestled in amongst the houses in the Rocks. I feel I have well and truly rinsed Sydney dry and ready to move on.
Next adventure brings us to our third road trip with Jucy camper rentals across the South Island of New Zealand, which includes just a little 16,500 foot skydive over the Fox Glacier!

Councilman Kevin Kramer to Host District 11 Trolley Tour
If you and the family just don't get to experience some of the unique aspects of Jeffersontown, August 4th is a day of discovery. There is a free exploration Trolley Tour in District 11 starting at 8:30 am at the Jeffersontown Library located at 10635 Watterson Trail.
This tour is the brainchild of Councilman Kevin Kramer, who called it a town hall meeting on wheels back in 2005. Now, he leads the tour to highlight specific districts and familiarize people with Jeffersontown and other surrounding areas. The councilman gets excited about this trolley ride every year, as it allows people to see the tremendous amount of development going on in the city.
This year's tour will include Sky View Park, Bluegrass Industrial Park, the Jeffersontown City Hall, Blackacre Nature Preserve and Community Garden. The visit to Blackacre will most assuredly provide both enlightenment and entertainment, as this is a well-preserved historic landmark.
The homestead has existed since 1785, and the fields, woods, and streams at Blackacre remain much the same as they were 200 years ago. The historic settlement has been maintained including the homestead shelters from the 18th century, pre-civil war farmhouse, spring house and barn, and it is all open to the public for viewing.
Sometimes living in the city, we overlook things right in front of us. This Trolley Tour of Kevin Kramer's District 11 is a fun way to get familiar with some of Jeffersontown's attractions that don't get a lot of media attention.

Amman — Two ARIJeans who worked on projects supported by ARIJ has been short-listed for the Arab Data Journalism Network's 2019 Data Journalism Awards. Aseel Saria and Ahmed ELshamy, who investigated exchange marriages in Yemen and the counterfeiting of Cleopatra cigarettes, were nominated in the best Data Investigation category.
The contest awards a Best Data Visualization story as well. Twelve journalists from Tunisia, Egypt, and Yemen are competing for the awards this year. The winners will be announced during ADJN's annual conference March 25.
In his investigation "Exchange Marriage in Yemen," published in Asharq Al-Awsat Newspaper, Saria documented cases of exchange marriage between relatives that frequently result in forced divorces. "Cleopatra: Made outside Egypt" by ELshamy tracked smuggled shipments of fake Cleopatra cigarettes. He uncovered the involvement in the illicit trade of networks of businesses and politicians of different nationalities, who participated, under the protection of foreign companies. The Egyptian Parliament formally thanked and congratulated ELshamy for the disclosures.
Two other ARIJeans were nominated for investigations they did independently Khawla bou Karim from Tunisia and Maha Salah Al Din of Egypt.
Since its founding, ARIJ has trained more than 2,100 journalists, professors, and students ,and supervised the broadcast or publication of more than 513 investigative reports via Arab and international satellite channels, including BBC, Aljazeera English, Alaraby Aljadeed, and Deusche Welle Arabic. ARIJ's teaching curriculum is taught in several colleges in the region.

Supreme Court Rules No Life Without Parole For Teens
In a 5-4 split decision on Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that the imposition of mandatory "life without parole" sentences for juveniles convicted of murder violates the 8th Amendment to the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Many legal scholars felt that this was likely to occur following the ruling several years ago which prevented the death sentence for crimes committed while a person was a juvenile but the increasingly conservative stance of the court made it a topic of worry.
This ruling joins the 2005 case on capital punishment and a 2010 case which struck down life without parole for juveniles convicted of non-murder offenses.
The swing vote in this case was Justice Kennedy, again, who joined with Gunsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan.
The conservative block of Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas would have upheld the law.
This will, of course, invalidate all mandatory sentences of life without parole in any state.

what car is it in, alot of new cars(manual) do this for emisions
Engine: Blacktop 20v
Has anyone encountered 'lingering revs', where after you lift off the accelerator pedal, the engine's revs will hang there, or even increase a couple of 100?
I tried playing around with the dashpot/throttle opener clearance. If set to spec, the revs hang up high, if disconnected completely, the revs hang down low. Quite annoying when changing gears, cause the revs are way too high for the next gear. Makes for easy downshifts though, I guess?
what car is it in, alot of new cars(manual) do this for emisions
Prob your accelerator cable isn't closing the throttles properly / fully in that it is adjusted too tight.
Ae86 Drivingclub - Toyota AE86 Car Club where AE86 | KE70 | Toyota 86 / GT86 | Subaru BRZ | Scion FRS owners
It's in an ae86
How much slack should you put on the throttle cable?
I usually adjust it by having someone in the car, get them to hold it flat and ensure the throttles open fully, then when they let it go that they close fully.
Then you nip it up, making sure it doesn't get any tighter.
Too tight will see them stick open a little, and too loose will see the throttles not open fully.
Ae86 Drivingclub - Toyota AE86 Car Club where AE86 | KE70 | Toyota 86 / GT86 | Subaru BRZ | Scion FRS owners
I'll try it, thanks!
tps? i mucked around with mine the other day and now i have the lingering revs that your talking about. did you knock your sensor recently?
check out my build thread: http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/fo...-shuttle-wagon
No, havn't played with the tps. I'll recalibrate it to see if it's moved from spec.
Do it via the 4AGE manual. It is time consuming and very fiddly!
Leaning towards it being the TPS. Throttle cable checked out fine, infact there was a little too much slack.
I'm looking at the manual now, and the resistances are extremely varied. 0.3 - 6.3 kohms, so what should you be aiming for? 3.3 kohm?

null Annual work to reline water mains to begin in April
April 5, 2017 -
Is a water main in your neighbourhood going to be relined this year? To help maintain and improve municipal infrastructure, Utilities Kingston manages an annual water main relining program.
In 2017, Utilities Kingston is having 3,200 metres of water mains relined. Relining water mains with a resin-coated felt insert is a way to rehabilitate aging pipes without having to dig up the road along the full length of the water main.
Areas where water mains will be relined:
- Wiley Street from Weller to Drennan
- Wilson Street from Weller to Drennan
- Baker Street from Weller to Drennan
- Daly Street from Weller to Drennan
- Weller Avenue from Wiley to Montreal
- Drennan Street from Wiley to Montreal
- Cliff Crescent from Norman Rogers to Norman Rogers
- Purdy Place from Cliff to end
- Hillendale Avenue from Princess to Fairview
Watch for Notice of Upcoming Work
Residents in the areas listed above should watch for notices of upcoming work from Fer-Pal. This company has been contracted by Utilities Kingston to reline water mains and replace aging infrastructure, including water valves and fire hydrants.
The notices will be delivered at least 48 hours before work is set to begin and will include details on what to expect.
What to Expect if Work is Taking Place in your Area
- Your house may be connected to a temporary potable water supply system. You are not billed for the water you use while hooked up to the temporary supply, but the monthly service charge remains in effect. Some homes in the area will remain on their regular connection, and regular billing applies.
- Utilities Kingston may require connection to an exterior hose bib (or other connection).
- Utilities Kingston and contractor staff always carry identification. Homeowners should always ask to see it.
- If your water meter is reaching the end of its life, it will be replaced.
- Minor traffic interruptions should be anticipated around access pits and where work is being conducted.
For further information, contact customer service, Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 613-546-0000. Watch for updates on this work at: www.UtilitiesKingston.com/Projects/Detail/WatermainReliningProgram

St. Francis de Sales gave the following advice to St. Jane de Chanal on patience and bearing temptations.
"...while a temptation displeases you there is nothing to fear; for why does it displease you, save because you do not will it? ... these burdensome temptations come from the malice of the Devil; but the pain and suffering that we feel come from the mercy of God who, against the will of the enemy, draws from his malice holy tribulations, by which He refines the gold that He would put into His treasures.
...your temptations are from the Devil and from Hell, but your pains and afflictions are from God and Paradise. The mothers are from Babylon, but the daughters are from Jerusalem. Despise the temptations; embrace the tribulations...
Thy Will be Done by St. Francis de Sales, Sophia Press

One day you and I might actually meet in person lol!!

Hi Alison, I was so sad to have missed you at the shop but I was out at Chinchilla at the time.It would have been lovely to have seen you in real life!Lol!
It has been such a treat to be setting up the shop with Cathy and creating all the charms with her. So far so good with the shop. Lovely people to meet, lovely people in the other shops....a real small village feel to it. On a Sunday, we can hear the church bells chiming across the way...just LOVE it. Today Cathy and I are having a change around in the shop with an added splash of red for some Valentine touches. Playing in the shop is so much fun and I get to have my daughter, Erica, beside me to help out.
Glad you got to see your Dad while he was feeling a little better.
Happiness to you, Angela.
PS Love the beach photos...superb!

Croatian veterans are among the most vulnerable groups of citizens, which is why the Government of the Republic of Croatia, together with banks, has provided more favorable conditions for their lending.
These are housing loans for veterans at the best interest rate. In this way, it tries to allow people who fought for their homeland to have a normal life, as well as the families of fallen and wounded veterans.
Who is eligible for more favorable veterans loans?
Veterans who do not have a settled housing issue or have resided in a state apartment for five years or more have the right to more favorable loan conditions for a veteran. Credits for veterans are issued in Good Finance.
When applying for a veterans loan, banks check the creditworthiness of prospective clients. In view of the special conditions, banks determine the amount of unburdened income required to obtain a loan. In addition to the standard documentation, a certificate on the status of a defense attorney is required, which proves the possibility of more favorable credit.
Since these are home loans, the banks most often require a guarantee, thus reducing the risk of possible losses. The most commonly used security instruments are a guarantor, a promissory note, and a real estate mortgage. In most cases, given that these are special conditions, the bank pays or does not charge the cost of the real estate appraisal study.
Credits for Veterans: What is the attitude of the bank towards non-purpose loans?
Only recently have banks and the government provided a lower interest rate for retired veterans, but the focus is on home loans. Other non-purpose loans are determined most often as for all other citizens. That is, under the same conditions and depending on the amount of income. If a guarantor or debenture is used, the loan amount may be higher because, in addition to its own creditworthiness, the creditworthiness of the guarantor or the co-debtor is also checked.
What kind of loans to veterans are loan companies offering?
loans to veterans are loan companies offering?" />
Credit houses offer loans to veterans, and unlike banks, they do not check creditworthiness. Given that these are smaller amounts that are repaid in a few months, credit companies rely on the financial orderliness of the client. It is important for them to have regular income and to settle their debts duly. Credits for Veterans are intended for those veterans who are still employed or retired.
Seek the advice of a financial or legal professional
The application process is very simple, with a copy of your ID card and current account card sent online. The contract is being downloaded from the internet so it can be read peacefully and only then signed. If the client is unsure about something, he or she can seek the advice of a financial or legal professional.
Credit institutions may, in addition to the minimum documentation, request payroll or retirement listings, but this is usually done only when higher amounts are involved.
The advantage of this way of doing business is that everything goes online. There is no need to go to the office or long queues. Everything can be done from the comfort of your own home, all with the documentation you already have. If everything is correct with the submitted documentation, the money will be paid into the checking account within 24 hours of the submission of the request. Financial aid can be quickly and easily reached when it is most needed.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has told beIN SPORTS how he visited Monaco forward Kylian Mbappe at his home last year in an attempt to bring him to the Emirates Stadium.
Wenger has made no secret of his admiration for Mbappe, 18, in the past, saying in February that Arsenal have been tracking the youngster, before reiterating the club's interest in him last month.
Mbappe's performances for Monaco this season have led him to be linked with big-money moves to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United, but Wenger has said he came close to signing him last year.
"The player would tell you that I was at his home last year to try to get him here because he was at the end of [his] contract, but Monaco managed to keep him and the decision was very, very tight," Wenger said.
"But I could understand it as well because he was educated there and at the end decided to stay there."
Wenger suggested last month that he fears Arsenal might be priced out of a move for Mbappe, given the reported competition they would face for his signature.
According to The Guardian, United have been turned away by Monaco after making a bid of £72 million, with the French club holding out for £100m.
Asked if Arsenal have a chance of signing the attacker, Wenger said: "I don't know, that is down to him.
"But today he will decide where he goes, because he can say Real Madrid maybe, Barcelona maybe, Arsenal, Manchester — he can go where he wants."
Arsenal legend Robert Pires said last week that he believes his former club will sign Mbappe.

Dry scaly feet?
Its Israel's fault.
Look no further than Mahmoud Othman's Gaza café for the human face of the cruel and inhumane "siege" of Gaza.
It took a full month for Mahmoud Othman to secure the necessary permits to import hundreds of Garra rufa, better known as "Dr. Fish", for his Gaza spa.
Let that sink in. A full month.
Its simply inhumane to subject an imprisoned population to a month-long wait for a fish pedicure. It is everyone's human right to enjoy the life-affirming experience of dipping their feet into tanks full of small flesh eating fish. Its enshrined by international law. Or in the Universal Declaration of human rights. Or somewhere. I'm sure it is.
If its good enough for the Kardashians, its good enough for Gaza.
From YNET
"We wanted to introduce a new idea and service at the cafe," Othman said. "Doctor fish has remedial and recreational sides."Among the benefits, he believes the treatment "helps the body get rid of negative energy..."
On a recent evening, seven young men sat in a room lit by blue neon lights, pants rolled to the knee and feet dipped into glass tubs. As the tiny fish clustered around their toes, the customers chatted or touched and swiped their smartphones. "It's a beautiful thing," said Mahmoud al-Dairi, who came for the leisure factor.
Othman says 30 to 40 customers a day pay NIS 30 to offer their bodies as free lunch to the tiny fresh-water fish.

Israels historie i tal
For tiden kæmper araberne eller palæstinenserne om et Palæstina, ikke alene på vestbredden, men også i selve Israel. Men det er en gammel nyhed, at en magt forsøger at overtage området Israel eller hvad man nu kalder det. Som nedenstående viser har samme område været besat eller erobret eller bekriget et utal af gange, og der er såmænd stadigvæk krig om samme område, der pt hedder Israel.

1030–930 BC United Kingdom of Israel and Judah
928-586 BC: Kingdom of Judah

132-135 Independent Bar Kokhba state
135-390: Roman province reconquered and renamed Syria Palaestina
260-273: Controlled by splinter Palmyrene Empire
390-638: Byzantine Palaestina Prima
602-625: Sassanid Jewish Commonwealth
638–1099: Arab Caliphates and subject rulers
1099–1187: Crusader states, most notably the Kingdom of Jerusalem
1187–1260: Dominated by the Ayyubids of Egypt and Damascus
1260–1516: Dominated by the Mamluks of Egypt
1453: Byzantine Empire
1516–1917: Ottoman Empire
Era of Self Governance
1918–1948: British mandate of Palestine under, first, League of Nations, then, successor United Nations; the Emirate of Trans-Jordan was separated from the rest of Palestine in 1922, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan became independent upon the expiration of the League of Nations Mandate in 1946.
May 1948 – June 1967: Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, for parts of the Old City of Jerusalem and the larger part of the area; State of Israel for remaining parts of Jerusalem and for a smaller strip of land in the west
June 1967 to present: State of Israel
State of Israel including Jerusalem, gaza strips & Judea and Samaria area.

As the holiday season approaches, people tend to eat more and consume more calories than they actually burn during the course of the day. This can bring about very detrimental health impacts. All the work you have done in the weeks and months prior to the holiday season could be wasted if you do not try and at least maintain your fitness levels.
One of the biggest issues with the holiday break is overeating. Usually during the holidays events or gatherings are centered around food consumption with an unlimited supply of food for people to choose from. Because of this people will sometimes feel too tired to go to the gym or be physically active so now they are compounding the problem. A recent study in the UK showed that people who engaged in a short period of overeating and reduced physical activity led to very profound negative changes in a variety of physiological systems. That same study also showed that a daily bout of exercise during the overeating period stopped most of those negative changes from taking place.
Another trick to try and remember when it comes to eating is you never want to eat to be full but rather eat to be satisfied. I am sure most of you have had a point where you thought, 'Wow I am stuffed, I can't eat another bite'. This will lead to a period of being very tired and lethargic and I am sure most of you feel like taking a nap or going to sleep at this point.
I am definitely not saying to not enjoy the holidays and the various events / gatherings that take place, but don't forget about all the time and hard work you put into getting your body into shape, it would be a shame to throw it all or even some of it away during this festive season! Happy Holidays from all of us here at Thanyapura!

It's hard to believe that the year 1998 was 20 years ago, and that a lot of great songs that were produced in that year that we still listen to today. Recently, I was going through a list and it made me realize just how many songs celebrated their 20th birthday this year.
You may not remember the name of the song or the artist who even performed it, but you'll definitely remember the words and the melody the second they start. And just a warning: these songs will make you feel old.
I Want You Back – *NSYNC
This song was all I ever needed and I really want *NSYNC back. Sadly I don't think it will ever happen, but a girl can dream.
My Heart Will Go On – Celine Dion
That's right, the song from Titanic is 20 years old, which means crushing on that young, hot Leonardo DiCaprio who played Jack Dawson in the film was a phase from 20 years ago. Ouch.
Get Jiggy Wit It – Will Smith
I bet you probably forgot Will Smith was even a musician until you saw this come up.
I Don't Wanna Wait – Paula Cole
We all know this song as the Dawson's Creek theme song, but it was also a big hit on the radio.
This Kiss – Faith Hill
Remember when our mom's all went through a mini pop/country phase where they loved listening to artists like Shania Twain and Faith Hill? This song was a huge part of the movement.
No, No, No – Destiny's Child
This throwback track is a song I'll always say "yes, yes, yes" to. Any day.
Truly, Madly, Deeply – Savage Garden
You always hear this song being played on easy listening music playlists and sounds like the music video would take place on a romantic cliff. I was disappointed to see who actually sings it and realize it wasn't even a boyband.
How Do I Live – Leann Rimes
Does anyone else think of walking through a mall as a young child when you hear this song? Because I do.
Still The One – Shania Twain
I saw the one and only Queen of country music this past summer and she stopped the crowd, who was full of millennials, and asked how old we were when this song came out. Turns out most of us were under the age of 5 and she was shocked we all went to see her perform (although I wasn't surprised). This song is iconic.
Everybody (Backstreet's Back) – Backstreet Boys
Hold the phone. How is it that one of the greatest songs to dance to in the history of throwback songs and classic wedding tunes is 20 years old!? It feels like more of a 2002 type of sound, but I won't complain. BSB til I die!
If you don't feel a little old from reminiscing of all the glory days from our youth where we faintly remember hearing these songs played, you're clearly too young to understand just how influential this music was. Its popularity may be over, but we still hear these rotated regularly on the radio nowadays, proving these songs were the best of 1998.

Things haven't been going as well as planned for Electronic Arts lately, if its latest earnings report is anything to go by. The company has apparently had a "weaker-than-expected third quarter" and has therefore "lowered its revenue outlook for the future," resulting in a marked decline in shares. The company attributes the subpar performance in part to less-than-stellar sales of Battlefield V, which launched in November — a month later than initially planned — placing it "in the middle of a very discounted holiday season," according to EA's CFO Blake Jorgensen.
However, EA says that despite its underperformance in the third quarter, it is now focusing heavily on "maintaining long-term live services for players," which includes the recently released free-to-play Apex Legends, BioWare's upcoming title Anthem — which is slated for launch on February 22nd — as well as what CEO Andrew Wilson describes as "a deep line-up of new experiences that [EA will] bring to [its] global communities next fiscal year." Anthem in particular is expected to sell 6M units within a few weeks of launch.
All-in-all, though, it doesn't seem that the underwhelming third quarter is going to hurt EA too much, as it's still predicting a fourth-quarter net revenue of $1.163 billion and a net income of $170 million, which will put the company's net revenue for the year at around $4.875 billion with a net income of $980 million.
That didn't comfort investors, however; EA's stock dipped 18% yesterday.

The Clock Starts Ticking
Starting tomorrow morning, you're going to practice English, Spanish, French or other foreign language. For the following 6 days, for 8 hours per day, you'll work on grammar, pronunc iation, watch videos and listen to audio materials. You'll write short notes, grocery lists and play games in the target foreign language. All well and good – BUT – a week from today, is it really reasonable to think you'll be fluent in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Chinese or any other foreign language?
Of course not.
Could you learn a lot?
Could you manage key words and phrases?
Could you conduct a very basic "conversation" with someone in the foreign language?
Yet many language institutes and foreign language programs give prospective learners the distinct impression that in 48 hours, a weekend or a week, they can "speak" the foreign language of their choice. This is misleading for the learners, but often quite profitable for the language institute or program directors.
How sad.
Learning any foreign language is not an easy, quick or simple affair. Real mastery, if indeed it ever truly comes, may take years of practice and painstaking effort. This need not at all to be a dull, boring affair. Foreign language learners can, and should, enjoy the majority of the process. They should continuously applying their continually improving foreign language skills to chat with friends and neighbors, conduct everyday life tasks, interact with target language-speaking locals on the job,, to shop, to sample a variety of foods and in general soak up the culture associated with their target foreign language.
Functional Ability
When considering or continuing the learning of a foreign language, you should pay no heed to outrageous claims of super-rapid foreign language acquisition. Instead, focus on developing functional ability.
You might think, for example, can you:
o Ask for or give directions?
o Tell the time?
o Shop and bargain for purchased goods?
o Conduct a bank or other financial transaction?
o Introduce yourself?
o Order food and drink in a restaurant or on the street?
o Haggle with a street vendor?
o Make "small talk" with a stranger?
By focusing on what you can do in the foreign language, you will shift your view of its acquisition to long term vs. short term progress, enjoying your skills development along the way.
So, starting tomorrow morning, you're going to practice English, Spanish, French or other foreign language. For the following 6 days, for 8 hours per day, you'll work on grammar, pronunciation, watch videos and listen to audio materials. You'll write short notes, grocery lists and play games in the target foreign language. Only this time you'll be focused on your functional skills development – that is, what you'll be able to do in your target language.
No, you can't learn a foreign language in 48 hours, but you can take a few steps forward towards greater fluency.

'The Money is in the list', is one of the most inaccurate money making quotes online, created by Internet Marketers of yesteryear!
There may have been a time in the early days when consumers were less internet savvy that this may have been true. But times have changed.
The internet is growing up. Social media transparency means that those wishing to simply exploit the systems have and are being exposed.
Potential customers not only have much more choice now, but are also far more educated as to how it all works and they don't just want to be a name on a list.
Email marketing is no longer the be all and end all, it is part of the bigger picture. And that bigger picture my friend is your 'community'.
Your community is made up of paying customers, subscribers, readers, listeners, watchers, sharers, commenters, likers, followers, advocates, and quiet observers.
It is much more than just your 'list' and each one has his or her own role to play in your success as a business, even if they never become a paying customer.
Think of the word 'Viral', it's actually a horribly negative word, but I can't think of one that better describes the process. Someone may be carrying the cold virus, but never actually get the cold, but happily pass it on to you who then has a full blown outbreak!
Well, that's how it works. The bigger your 'community', the more people who appreciate and share your useful information and content. The more exposure you get, the more eyeballs you get on your products and services.
It's your job to ensure the eyeballs are targeted and your products and services meet the needs of your marketplace. We'll save that for another blog post.
For now let's look at some effective ways to build your community!
Content of course underpins everything!
No matter if you're posting daily on your Facebook page, or tweeting every half an hour. Everything you publicly publish is content of some kind.
You need to think intelligently about the kind of content you're publishing. Start by asking yourself:
If you can say yes to these three questions then it's far more likely that your content is worth liking, commenting and sharing.
It's very easy to become overwhelmed with all the content advice running around out there. Write long blog posts, be amazing, be completely unique, create extraordinary videos, be everywhere, etc etc.
The most important thing is to just start and consistently produce. You can improve and perfect later. I suggest starting with creating one piece of stella content every week.
For example:
You'll be amazed at how fast your content library grows simply by consistently producing one piece of content each week. Give it a go!
Of course!
You need to have somewhere to tell people about your great content and to create engagement and conversation.
The term community is defined as 'a group of people who have the same interests'. Well I'd take that one step further and say a community is a group of people who come together to share and discuss the same interests.
You want to be the catalyst that brings them together and there's nowhere better than connecting people than on social media platforms.
Building a social media presence however takes time. It's not an overnight success and is becoming more challenging the more businesses embrace it and platforms become more commercialised.
So here's my tips for building a community quickly using social media:
As I said above, email marketing is part of the big picture and what an effective part it is! Of course you can send out details of your products and services, but you can use it for so much more than that!
If you're not sure how to get started building an email list see my post here – How to Build a Simple List Building Funnel in 10 Minutes or Less
Here's some tips on how to use email to build relationships and grow your community:
If you view email marketing as relationship building you won't go far wrong.
Also as an advanced strategy if you have a presence on Facebook and are generating leads through FB ads, you can upload your email addresses into Facebook as a custom audience and target your subscribers that way. I'll go into that in more detail in a separate post.
Commonly known as a lead magnet, offering a free report in exchange for an email address is a great way to build your email subscribers, get activity on your social platform and grow your credibility and authority as a content publisher in your niche.
Consumption is the key! If your target audience consume your content they're far more likely to take action such as share it, engage with you, and/or become a paying customer.
If they download it and it sits gathering dust on their desktop, they're more likely to move on and go elsewhere to get the answer they're seeking.
Who doesn't love a good contest!
As with the free report above, a contest is a great way to build your email subscribers and get activity on your social platform. Depending on what you offer as the prize means you're either building your own authority or creating great relationships with other content publishers in your niche.
Let me explain:
With either option you're building your subscriber database at the same time, win win!
Tips for running a good contest:
Webinars ROCK! There is no other way of putting it.
I owe probably about 80% of my community to webinars.
Webinars are a fabulous way of building your email subscribers, getting activity on your social platform and growing your credibility and authority as a content publisher in your niche.
Second only to physically being in a room with someone, webinars build rapport faster than anything else online. Attendees get to hear your voice, and now with hangouts see your face and really connect with you as you train them, answer questions, give useful information and solve problems.
All webinars do not have to be sales webinars. You can run a webinar simply to build your credibility and your email database. (I attracted over 18,000 email subscribers following that philosophy in about 5 months).
Tips for running great webinars:
You're not too late!
The internet is still so young and there is so much growth yet to come. Millions of businesses still have static, leaflet style websites and no dynamic content or interaction whatsoever.
So stop worrying about saturation and it's already been done, just get out there and share your knowledge and experience. In fact I'd go as far as to say, if you have useful information to share in your marketplace then it's your duty to share it and help those around you who need it!
Like social media, it will take time to build your blog. You won't write a couple of posts and the crowds will come flocking. It doesn't work like that. But the sooner you start, the sooner it will grow!
If you're unsure how to quickly and easily get a blog off the ground, see my post here – How to Start a Blog, Customise It & Publish Your First Post, All in 10 Mins or Less
Tips for starting a blog:
I hate to show my age, but I remember the excitement when I was able to take my favourite cassette tape, put it into a little box (walkman) and listen to my fave music on the go!
I was even more excited when I could do the same with a CD.
Imagine my excitement then when I could load thousands of songs onto a little device that could fit in my pocket. And now we can listen to music, podcasts, books, the news anytime and from any device.
It's incredible how things have developed!
So, if you like the sound of your own voice and think others will too, become your very own radio presenter! Move over Howard Stern – YOU have arrived!
Tips for creating a podcast:
Forums are like an older version of a Facebook group or a linked in community. A community of people all interested in the same things, can go to a forum to ask questions, engage in conversation, answer questions, give advice and just generally have a good chat!
The great thing about forums however, is that many allow you to add a link back to your site or url of your choosing. What a great way to build your authority and build your email subscribers at the same time!
Once again, similarly to social media, blogs, podcasts etc, it will take time to build up trust and authority, but you are more likely to meet your targeted audience quicker as this is a much more concentrated group of people. It's already a community, all interested in the same thing.
You just have to become a trusted member of that community.
Tips to getting involved in forums:
Getting to know 'influencers' can give your business a huge boost. Imagine if just one person with a community in the hundreds of thousands talked about you, or shared your content. It wouldn't harm your efforts to build a community of your own much would it now!
One of the best ways to do this is to attend live events.
This is where I miss out a bit. As a bit of a sun chaser, I spend most of my time between Phuket in Thailand and Cairns in Australia. Not too many marketing events happening in either of these fabulous places!
I do my fair share of networking online, but there is nothing more powerful than meeting people in person. Networking with peers and potential customers alike.
If you live in a town or city where there are any kind of business networking events that suit your niche, or if you're a train ride or a even a short plane ride away from attending a weekend seminar of some kind, I highly recommend it.
Not only are you likely to meet people who have already built a community and can expose you to their subscribers giving your brand and content an almighty boot in the right direction, but you'll also be surrounded by the energy of like minded people.
I almost dare you to come away from a weekend networking event and not be incredibly inspired and motivated to conquer the world!
If, like me however, getting to events is quite difficult here are some tips for networking online:
So there you have it, 10 steps to building a powerful community of raving advocates who love you, your content and your products!
Get this bit right and the rest of your business is plain sailing.
Most importantly. Be Yourself! People warm to authenticity and integrity. Embrace your voice and don't be afraid to expose it to the world!
Thanks for reading!
I'd love your thoughts on this. What are you doing right now to build your community? What other effective ways have you found to grow relationships and build your business.

ASA leads reform of AGMs
The Australian Shareholders' Association (ASA) held a hybrid AGM today, the first not-for-profit to do so, leading the way in showing listed entities how to hold a contemporary AGM utilizing Lumi's technology.
"ASA is proud to be the leader in reforming the AGM, which is the forum for individual investors," said Diana D'Ambra, Chairman of ASA. "We had members participating online from all around Australia, as well as members who were in the same room as the board."
A hybrid AGM is a traditional AGM that allows extended direct voting and participation by enabling shareholders to either attend physically or online. Irrespective of whether they are in the same room as the directors or participating via a smart phone, tablet, laptop or PC, shareholders can ask questions of the board, participate in the debate and vote. All votes are collated in a poll with those received earlier as proxies, to ensure that the wishes of the larger shareholder base are taken into account.
"We're encouraging all listed companies to follow our lead and hold a traditional AGM that allows remote voting and questioning at what is called a hybrid AGM to ensure the participation of all of their shareholders," added Ms D'Ambra. "Directors should not avoid being 'eyeballed' by their shareholders — the face-to-face meeting remains a core plank in governance."
ASA commended the infrastructure and technology support provided by Lumi Technologies and Streamgate Webcasting. "Lumi worked with ASA at every step of the way to ensure seamless participation by our members, regardless of whether they attended online or physically," commented Ms D'Ambra. "They delivered a great experience — we could not have done it without them."
Oliver Bampfield, Managing Director, Lumi Australia, agreed, "Many companies find it is not feasible for their shareholders to travel to attend an AGM. We are sure that hybrid meetings are the future, now such reliable and secure online platforms are available for attendees to view and participate in the meeting."
