The DearTomorrow project was built upon a simple idea: we must talk about climate change from a place of love. We believe that until we think differently about this problem, we cannot adequately address it.
DearTomorrow is a platform for people to create and share stories with their friends and family about why they care about climate change. As DearTomorrow has grown, community organizations, teachers and groups of friends have started carrying out the project in their own communities.
They have inspired us to pull together the following resources, which are designed for any individual, organization (school, church group, community group, friends), or network to organize their own DearTomorrow activity using readily available technology, like computers and smartphones.
Letters and Video Project
The letters and video project can be used by organizations to share their stories, engage their team and members and inspire others. Example: DearTomorrow is a featured action on BeforetheFlood's Climate Action Hub.
DearTomorrow can be easily integrated into science, writing and environmental curriculum ranging from middle school through undergraduate-level courses.
Example: ENV 151 Introduction to Sustainability, DePaul University, Jessica Vogt
Photo Promises Project
The photo promises project is an easy, fun activity for any group. It asks participants to create, document and share one new commitment to address climate change through actions at home, in their community or politically.
Download "Photo Promises- 5 Easy Steps" and "Instructions and FAQ for Organizers" to carry out this project in your community.
Inspire your community by showing examples from our Photo Promises gallery or printing a few copies of "Photo Promises Handout."
Sharing the Message
Once you've created a message for DearTomorrow, there are many ways that you can share your messages. Here are a few ideas:
- Post on social media: Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Be sure to tag @deartmrw and #DearTomorrow.
- Email your story to close friends and family, inviting them to have a conversation with you about why you care about climate change.
- Create a photo exhibit, video screening or live reading of the letters.
- Read letters at a community meeting or family gathering.
- Submit your letter to a local newspapers or blog.
We encourage all participants to submit their messages to the DearTomorrow website and archive. We are working to build a long-term archive for participants, intended recipients, and future generations can access in the future. We invite all participants to submit their photos, videos and letters here to be shared now and preserved for the future.

Dr. Adam has been practicing dentistry in Yellowknife since 1980. After graduating from dental school, Dr. Adam practiced in England for two years before making the move to Canada with his wife Charlene. A year-long adventure proved to be a lifelong passion, and they put down permanent roots in Yellowknife, raising four children.
Dr. Adam's commitment to the North has always been to improve the quality and service of dentistry, and we have set a standard by which other practitioners have had to follow. His commitment continues with constant education, leading him to be the first dentist in the Northwest Territories to obtain the National Dental Examining Board of Canada Certification.
In addition, he has received further qualifications:
Dr. Adam's passion for learning continues with attendance to graduate dental programs in excess of 90 hours per year. The nature of his dental practice has always been to provide the best that dentistry has to offer. This has involved ensuring the use of the best materials, methods and quality of care. We do not experiment on our patients with technologies that are gimmicky or untested and that promote instant cures.
Today the Adam Dental Clinic is recognized as one of the premier dental clinics in North America. We are able to refer you to dentists that know our clinic very well, many of whom have worked here, and are now in cities in every corner of Canada.
Dr. Adam has insisted on preserving the building in which the clinic is housed to ensure that the appeal and history of Yellowknife remains. The building in which Adam Dental Clinic is housed was the Filewych Family home, and the adjacent building where the Quilted Raven is, was home to the Bromley Family. The clinic has maintained the original structures, and they have been lovingly and meticulously renovated.
Dr. Adam has also been a huge contributor to the community of Yellowknife and the North. We support a very large number of events and community efforts to ensure a vibrant and healthy Yellowknife. Dr. Adam participates in many volunteer organizations and has been involved with:
In 2015 Dr. Adam built and donated all the equipment for a dental facility to be opened in Avens, which makes Avens one of the very few seniors' facilities in Canada that offers dental services. It is a priority to Dr. Adam that everyone in Yellowknife has access to first-class dental care, especially Yellowknifers who have been giving back to the community for many years.
Dr. Adam is now committed to helping end homelessness in our community and to assisting in other ways to improving the lives of our struggling population. Yellowknife is home for the Adam Family, and Dr. Adam will continue to ensure the Adam Dental Clinic remains the number one clinic for dentistry in the North and in Canada.

The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and The Arches present
Mon 13 Jan 2014 | 7pm | Day pass: £5 (call 0141 565 1000 to book)
The Into The New Symposium has become an important and integral feature of our festival. We do our best to reimagine the form and content of our symposium each year and this year is no exception. Forgive me for just imagining… seeks to explore the territory between the 'imagined' and the 'real' in performance. We are delighted that this year our keynote speaker is Tim Etchells and although he is really in Vienna, we can imagine his presence through the video provocation that he has specially recorded for us. So for 2014…
Forgive me for just imagining…
…a symposium where we're all in the same space at the same time simultaneously imagining different worlds,
…a symposium where the words of the artist are incomplete without the thoughts of the listener,
…a symposium which engages my imagination, my intellect and my heart,
Forgive me for just imagining…
…a conversation that goes on forever,
…a future in which making art is more important than making money,
…the colour of the air as it moves out of my lungs and into yours,
Forgive me for just imagining…
…the bead of sweat in the hairline of the coolest performer,
…the unfolding journeys of our individual bodies weaving through streets and buildings, fields and paths to converge in this place at this moment,
…that I can gather light and hold it in a performance space,
Forgive me for just imagining…
…that I can create a space that communicates wordless thought,
…that an aesthetic can have no object, no image and no focus,
…that a deep connection to each other, ourselves and our world is perfectly possible,
Forgive me for just imagining…
…moments of love and lust, comfortable silence and exhilarating noise,
…time spent with friends and deepening roots,
…and imagining, and imagining, and imagining.
About Into The New_____________
Into The New is a festival of new work from final year students of the BA Contemporary Performance Practice course at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Capturing the ethos of the CPP course, which takes as its basis the artist Joseph Beuys' claim that 'civilisation is an art work and everybody is an artist' by encouraging a socially engaged practice, Into The New 2014 offers three days of work designed to intrigue, challenge, entertain, excite and provoke, created by a group of artists trying to make sense of the complexities of our world by making performance to share with others. Tackling subjects such as masculinity, depression and environmentalism, the work at this year's festival asks us to consider – what makes us human? What connects us? What divides us? Most of all, it asks us to imagine what a better world might look like, and how we can all use our imagination to find creative solutions to the crises our planet faces.
If we are all 'artists', we are all part of finding those solutions – please come down, enjoy the work, and join the artists in the bar afterwards to discuss all this and more…

"Where can you see tomorrow's work today? The answer is The Arches."
The Guardian
Through theatre, performance, visual art, dance and creative learning the Arches' artistic programme celebrates the brave and the new.
Producing and presenting risk-taking work from local and international artists and companies, the building has boasted performances over the past two years from Derevo, The TEAM and Taylor Mac, hosted the National Review of Live Art and New Territories festivals and seen blistering performances from boundary-pushing artists and companies such as John Moran, Adrian Howells, Ontroerend Goed and Quarantine as part of 2010's BEHAVIOUR festival, our annual celebration of the live experience.
The Arches is also Scotland's leading provider of support for emergent artists and performance practitioners, providing a year-long programme of opportunities including Artist in Residence programmes and our two annual awards, Platform 18: New Directions and the Brick Award, as well as showcasing raw work from homegrown talent such as Nic Green and Rob Drummond in Arches LIVE, our annual festival of brave new work.
Our dedicated Creative Learning programme offers even further-reaching opportunities for development across a broad range of social groups, with events ranging from urban music production course Tigerstyle and the newly launched Arches Community Choir, to mentoring schemes, professional development projects and off-site performance work with diverse social groups.
Words from Jackie Wylie, The Arches' Artistic Director, following the tragic death of Adrian Howells:
"All at The Arches are devastated by the loss of Adrian Howells this week. He was our Artist in Residence and The Arches was his creative home. But more than that, he was a dear friend and companion in life to many of us here.
So many would say that there truly was no one like him, who personified love, generosity and the deepest type of empathy and desire to understand those lucky enough to have met him. With great humour he was able to create an instant connection with anyone he encountered. He was able to translate this desire to nurture and connect into his performance practice and in doing so leaves behind not only an incredible and influential body of work but a multitude of audience members across the world who have in some way been transformed by these encounters.
He supported, encouraged and was at the heart of an entire community of artists in Glasgow who will miss him terribly."

Chocolift contains chocamine plus which is a cocoa extract blend. This product contains polyphenols, theobromine and caffeine. The polyphenols are a group of molecules that are powerful antioxidants, caffeine (natural pesticide) is a stimulant and Theobromine is a vasodilator and much more. Theobromine is touted to make you happy (elevated mood), relax, decrease appetite and act as an aphrodisiac. Theobromine is commonly found in chocolate and some teas. It has been used to calm a cough and does so by inhibiting the vagus nerve. It is also effective on treating asthma as it relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchi. Theobromine also acts as a diuretic and heart simulator. It may help to lower blood pressure. Chocolift may increase your energy levels, mental focus, and concentration.
- increase energy
- support brain function and health
coming soon
User Opinions
Consumers call Chocolift a "happy pill". It elevates their mood, boosts their energy and makes them more productive with no side effects. This is good stuff but you should take 4 times the recommended dosage. Consumer recommends taking 4 pills first thing in the morning plus vitamins. Great for female consumers who suffer from PMS.
However, people suffering from anxiety became increasingly angered as it did boost their energy.
Take 1 Chocolift capsule 1 to 2 times a day.
If you are pregnant, nursing or are taking any prescription medications, talk with your doctor before you take this supplement. Each capsule of Chocolift contains 40mg of caffeine. This is approximately equal to a half of cup of coffee (8 ounces).

"You're beautiful." He told her. The shy tinge in his voice told her even more; that he truly meant it.
She smiled at him but something inside her felt uneasy, unsatisfied. "Is that all?" She gently perused.
"What do you mean?" He frowned at her slightly, genuine confusion written on his face. He thought to himself, isn't that what women want – to be told they're beautiful?
"You think I'm beautiful but is that all there is to me?" She was wary and had built her walls up high and strong. To her, beauty seemed to be of little consequence and of little value. She had seen the most beautiful women she had known to be cast aside; beaten; disrespected and neglected. Their beauty hadn't saved them from any of this, so what good was beauty really?
"Of course not. When I tell you that you're beautiful, I mean you are beautiful. Who you are. Everything that has made you the woman I see and every part of your mind and soul." He replied passionately.
That made her blush and smile from the depths of her careful heart.
He continued, "the way you think and the way you talk. Your shy demeanour and your gentle nature. That's why you're beautiful to me. You're beautiful in what I see in your appearance and what I know about you."
To be told you're beautiful is enchanting. To be told you're beautiful for you're stunning eyes and the curve of your lips; the radiant colour of your hair… what does that really mean? All those characteristics happened to you. That is how God made you. You were born like that. Should you be applauded and adored for something which you had no input in nor control over?
To be told you're beautiful for your eyes because they're kind and warm; for your smile which is radiant in its openness and generosity; for your kindness and the way you treat people… That is meaningful.
Someone who is beautiful on the outside might make eyes wander but they would be forgotten in a day. Someone who treats people with care and kindness; who goes out of their way to make people feel welcome; someone with beautiful character – would be remembered for the imprint they leave on people.
If you never saw a mirror, what would you think of yourself? If you didn't know how to compare yourself to others, except by your personality and character, would that make you a different person?

The Scottish Highlands (Scottish Gaelic: A' Ghàidhealtachd, "the place of the Gaels") is the rugged northern and north-western portion of Scotland. This is the Scotland conjured up by visions of tartan, kilts, Bonnie Prince Charlie and all.
Cities, towns and villages[edit]
- 2 Aviemore (Gaelic: An Aghaidh Mhòr)
- 3 Campbeltown (Gaelic: Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain or Ceann Locha)
- 4 Dunoon (Gaelic: Dùn Omhain)
- 5 Fort William (Gaelic: An Gearasdan)
- 6 Inveraray (Gaelic: Inbhir Aora)
- 7 Mallaig (Gaelic: Malaig)
- 8 Oban (Gaelic: An t-Òban)
- 9 Thurso (Gaelic: Inbhir Theòrsa)
Other destinations[edit]
The Scottish Highlands contains some of Europe's most extensive wilderness areas, some of which have been proclaimed as National Parks:
- 1 Ben Nevis (Gaelic: Beinn Nibheis) – Scotland's tallest mountain
- 2 Cairngorms National Park (Gaelic: Pàirc Nàiseanta a' Mhonaidh Ruaidh) – Scotland's largest National Park
- 3 Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park (Gaelic: Pàirc Nàiseanta Loch Laomainn is nan Tròisichean) – Scotland's first National Park
- 4 Loch Lomond (Gaelic: Loch Laomainn)
- 5 Loch Ness (Gaelic: Loch Nis)
- 6 Black Isle (Gaelic: an t-Eilean Dubh) – a peninsula north of Inverness linked to the city by the Kessock Bridge
English is predominant everywhere in the Scottish Highlands. Scottish Gaelic is spoken by a small minority of locals, especially in the west, but all of them speak English as well. Some road signs are bilingual, but Gaelic is less obvious here than Skye and the Outer Hebrides.
Get in[edit]
By plane[edit]
The main airport serving the Scottish Highland region is Inverness Airport (INV IATA), with scheduled flights from locations around Scotland and England as well as international scheduled flights from Amsterdam, Dublin and Düsseldorf. Served by FlyBe (both their own flights and flight operated on behalf of Scottish based airline Loganair to Kirkwall, Sumburgh and a few Western Isles), Easyjet and some seasonal charter flights. It is sited between Nairn and Inverness and accessible from the Inverness-Aberdeen road. Limited charter services fly out from this airport.
There are smaller airports within the Scottish Highlands at Campbeltown and Oban that offer scheduled service from connecting flights into Glasgow; as well as Wick Airport which offers connecting flights from Edinburgh Airport and Stornoway Airport that can be reached from scheduled services from Aberdeen Airport.
By rail[edit]
Scotrail offers services from Glasgow and Edinburgh (via Perth) and Edinburgh (via Aberdeen) north towards Inverness several times a day. The West Highland Railway runs from Glasgow's Queen Street Station to Oban, Fort William and Mallaig. There is also the Caledonian Sleeper from London's Euston Station to/from Fort William and Inverness via Edinburgh. This overnight service must be booked in advance. Passengers heading for Fort William in the seated carriage must change carriages at Edinburgh Waverley.
By bus[edit]
Scottish Citylink offers a relatively frequent service to many parts of the Highlands from Glasgow, Perth and Inverness. West Coast Motors offers bus services throughout the Argyll and Bute region as well as buses from Glasgow to Campbeltown and Oban. Stagecoach offers services across the Highlands. National Express and Megabus run buses from England.
By car[edit]
There are numerous roads from the Central Scotland region into the Scottish Highlands. One of the most scenic involves the drive along Loch Lomond, out to Oban then north to Fort William and along Loch Ness to Inverness.
Inverness can be reached from the south by the A9 from the south (Perth & M90 from Edinburgh, Glasgow) and from Aberdeen, 110 miles by the A96 road. The A82 reaches Inverness from the south-west, Loch Ness, Fort William and eventually to Skye. None of the roads to Inverness are entirely dual-carriageway. The A9 continues to Thurso on the extreme north coast of the Scottish mainland.
Get around[edit]
Scottish Citylink, West Coast Motors and Stagecoach should help to get you moving around the region if you are not in a car. Air service means connections in Glasgow while there are only a few train lines through the region, notably the West Highland Railway. There are two scenic lines: to Thurso and Wick, and to Kyle of Lochalsh.
By car[edit]
Many of the roads, especially in the more remote areas of the North West are single track with passing places. Driving there is a pleasure.
The North Coast 500 route, a 500 mile route along the coast, passes through Caithness and Sutherland and Ross and Cromarty.
By thumb[edit]
Hitchhiking is a good way to get around in the Highlands, with up to one in ten cars stopping for hitchhikers, but has two significant downsides. First, the road network is quite sparse in places. Also, many of the country roads that do exist have very low traffic density.
- Eilean Donan Castle, Dornie - is one of the most recognized castles in the world. It has appeared in many films including "Highlander" and James Bond film "The World Is Not Enough"
- Dunrobin Castle, Golspie - Gorgeous castle with fantastic exterior, gardens and falconry demonstrations from 11am and 2pm every day. About an hour and a half north of Inverness. Adults £8.00, children £5.00 OAP's and students £7.00 for castle and gardens. It should be noted that there are no falconry demonstrations on Sundays.
- Applecross - See the views from Scotland's highest mountain road on the way to Applecross at about 2000 ft! Isolated peninsula known for its rugged beauty. Seal trips with Calum's at Plockton guarantees seals on your excursion or your money back. Not far from Kyle of Lochalsh area.
- Inverewe Gardens, near Gairloch - Lovely National Trust For Scotland garden, an hour north of Kyle of Lochalsh. Wonderful NTS Gardens that take full advantage of the Gulf Stream to grow tropical plants at this very un-tropical latitude.
- Cape Wrath, north-west of Durness - the extreme north-west point of Scotland. It can be reached either by a long walk or by a ferry followed by a minibus along a road unconnected with any other.
- Loch Maree (correct spelling), between Gairloch and Torridon - possibly the finest inland loch in the Scottish mainland, surrounded by peaks of Torridonian Sandstone.
- Sandwood Bay, near Kinlochbervie - reckoned by Undiscovered Scotland to be the best beach in Great Britain.
- The Summer Isles - an archipelago of small islands near Achiltibuie
- Handa Island - wonderful bird reserve north of Kylestrome. Headware is advised in the breeding season as skuas are quite aggressive.
A mountain above 3000 feet is called a Munro, and a mountain between 2500 and 3000 feet is called a Corbett.
There are far too many mountains in Scotland to cover them all here. Here are some popular mountains by group (pronunciations of difficult names in italics):
Far north[edit]
- Ben Hope
- Ben Loyal
- Foinaven
- Ben Stack - neither particularly high nor well known but a little gem.
Northern Torridonian mountains[edit]
Mountains of Torridonian sandstone north of Ullapool.
- Quinag - An easy Corbett for beginners as it's possible to start well up from the main road south from Kylescu.
- Suilven - easier than it looks but its distance from roads makes it a challenge.
- Cul Mor
- Cul Beag
- Stac Pollaidh (pron. "Stack Polly") - Less than a Corbett but with an outstanding shape and rock ridge -unfortunately much eroded because of its proximity to the road.
Torridonian Munroes[edit]
- An Teallach (pron. "An Tyallach") - a fairly hard ridge walk above Little Loch Broom.
- Slioch - on the 'non-road' side of Loch Maree.
- Bein Eigh - above the Loch Maree road and much of the road from Kinlochewe to Torridon.
- Liathach (pron. "Lee-a-hach") - above the village of Torridon.
- Beinn Aligin - above the minor road from Torridon to the Aligins and Lower Diabaig.
- Bein Bhann - otherwise known as the Applecross mountains.
Glencoe and Fort William[edit]
- Ben Nevis - the highest start from the distillery on the road north.
- The Mamores - a picturesque group of numerous Munroes between Glen Nevis and Kinlochleven.
- Aonach Eagach (pron. "Annach Eegach") - a superb ridge above Glencoe.
- The three sisters of Glencoe - shapely peaks on the other side of the glen.
A range second only in height to the Nevis range, located east of the A9. There is a railway up Cairn Gorm (which is not the highest). However you make the height, it's relatively easy to walk more peaks, with excellent views. It is the only area in the UK where wild reindeer can be seen - re-introduced from Scandinavia after becoming extinct in Scotland. Red squirrels are also to be seen in the remains of the old Caledonian Pine Forests.
- Ben Macdhui
- Braeriach
- Lairig Ghru - not a mountain but probably the most spectacular mountain pass in the UK - making a fine and well known walk.
- Hike in the Torridon mountains.
- The Cairngorms National Park - located within the heart of the Grampian Mountains
- Try cycling the highlands.
- Take the train on the West Highland Railway.
Try hiking one of the long distance footpaths that cross the Highlands:
- The West Highland Way
- The Speyside Way
- The Great Glen Way, a 73 mile (118 kilometre) hike between Fort William and Inverness. This route can also be cycled.
- Walk up Ben Nevis.
- Scramble up Ben Nevis by the Ledge Route and the Carn Mor Dearg Arete.
The eating opportunities can be more restricted away from the towns, and some places may take last orders at 8pm or even earlier, so it may be worth planning ahead where you are going to eat.
There are a few breweries and several whisky distilleries in the Highlands.
The remoteness of most of this region will mean that accommodation could be scarce: you may want to try bed & breakfasts. Only a few of the hotels are part of a chain, and many villages have only a single hotel. As the area can be popular in summer, you should book ahead, and for the best choice plan your visit a few months in advance.
Go next[edit]
After the Highlands, the next logical place to explore are the islands: the Hebrides, the Orkney Islands, and the Shetland Islands lie to the northwest and northeast.

Employees in Massachusetts are particularly aware that they are protected by their companies in case they get injured while performing their work. What most do not realize, however, is that workers' compensation insurance offer a whole lot of benefits aside from payment of bills.
Temporary Total Incapacity
This type of benefit is typically awarded to those who were injured or ill for a specific period of time which has resulted in their temporary inability to work for six or more calendar days. These days need not be consecutive and need not be a full day.
Qualified employees stand to get as much as 60% of their gross average weekly wage for up to 156 weeks. There are some limitations to this, however; for one, the start of counting would be on the 6th day of incapacity as the first 5 days will only be compensated if you are incapacitated for 21 days or more.
Partial Incapacity Benefits
This is provided for those who are still able to work but on a limited capacity due to their illness or injury. Qualified employees can receive up to 75% of what the weekly total temporary benefits should be. It can be given for up to 260 weeks.
Permanent Loss of Function and Disfigurement Benefits
Typically provided to employees who have sustained injuries resulting to permanent loss of function, scarring, or disfigurement in the face, neck or hands area, the Permanent Loss of Function and Disfigurement Benefit is a one-time payment given to you on top of what you would receive as payment for your medical bills.

The table below gives the suggested head circumference for POC Ski and Snowboard Helmets. The measurement is based on the broadest part of your head with the greatest circumference - usually just above your eyebrows.
In addition to the circumference, the shape of the head / helmet is key to getting a good fit. If you're shopping online and think you may be between two sizes then feel free to buy both sizes and return one - we have a very relaxed returns policy. Once you have your helmet and you have any queries feel free to give us a call any time to discuss the fit and if it's right for you.
Your ski / snowboard helmet should feel snug without being uncomfortable. There shouldn't be any notable 'pressure points' nor should the helmet move around freely when you move your head from side to side.

The survey reveals that 87% of employees are motivated in their jobs. 40% of employees are more motivated than this time last year due to changing roles, a new job or an increase in salary.
Dera McLoughlin, Partner, Mazars said, "Having a deeper understanding of what motivates employees is crucial to leaders and managers of all organisations as it is linked to customer satisfaction, organisational performance, the achievement of organisational goals and the level of attrition within businesses."
"In early 2016 it was widely reported that Irish employers across all sectors were expecting to grow their staffing levels, leading to an increase in staff motivation due to more opportunities being available and a more mobile workforce. In line with this, this year's motivation survey has shown an overall increase in motivation levels of 6%. This of course is good news for employees and means that employers need to continue to create working environments which provide challenging opportunities for their employees while at the same time meeting their expectations."
Private and public sector
This year's report showed there is a rising gap between motivation levels in the public and private sectors.
McLoughlin commented, "84% of respondents in the public sector / not-for-profit sector are either motivated or very motivated in their work, up from 82% in 2016, compared to 89% of respondents in the private sector, up from 80% last year. This widening gap in motivation may reflect a public sector that is still responding to the recovering economy and what this means for them, and a private Sector that has been able to respond more rapidly to their demand for talent.
Millennial motivation
While motivation levels have generally increased for all age groups, the greatest increase and change is seen in the age group 18-24. 88% of survey respondents in this age group are either very motivated or motivated, an increase of 21% on last year's results. The reasons for this increase in motivation are: change in role, salary and job. The top reasons for staying in their current role are training/development opportunities, nice colleagues and financial benefits.
McLoughlin said, "For leaders and managers of "millennials" we have a number of recommendations. Creating opportunities for them to meet others and network in a professional but relaxed atmosphere will help to engage them and in turn maintain their motivation. As millennials thrive on new experiences, it's important to allow them to work on a variety of different projects where possible."
Work-life balance
McLoughlin concluded, "Work-life balance ranked as the highest motivation factor for employees overall. 56% of employees believe this is a key motivating factor for them. Finding the right balance between work and life outside work can be challenging and difficult."
We have five options that organisations can use to encourage work-life balance:
- Consider facilitating staff access to fitness for example providing a gym on the premises or providing
- membership to a gym near to the work premises;
- Organise company outings and / or attendance at conferences and seminars;
- Offer community engagement opportunities days where employees spend work time giving back to the community;
- Allow flexibility in working schedules. Consider staggered start and finish times. There are many other
- flexible working options that organisations can offer and;
- Organise and engage in team building exercises, either on site or away day type exercises for example bringing teams together to solve problems.

E-flirting with Taco Bell
This Valentine's Day, customers can send tantalizing messages via the fast food chain's website.
Taco Bell is getting hot and heavy-on-the-cheese with an online Valentine's application that allows customers to send sexy messages to their friends, loved ones or (sadly) themselves.
Written by daytime soap writer Marina Alburger, the collection of free flirty texts, passionate emails, sexy voicemails and steamy video messages come in three heat levels: mild, hot and fire – just like Taco Bell's Border Sauces. Targeting 18- to 35-year-olds who have a great sense of humour, the QSR backs up its Valentine's campaign premise by quoting a survey that says 38% of Canadians believe people who like hot sauce are more likely to be adventurous lovers. All of the resulting sauce-relevant applications can be found on the Taco Bell website.
Digital efforts are only about 10 months old for the fast feeder, says Camille Krupa, senior marketing manager for Taco Bell, but it's a medium that will see more action in 2009. 'We know that's where our consumers are interacting. They're watching TV a little bit less, they're reading the newspaper a little bit less but they're definitely online and they're engaging in the online channels in many different formats,' Krupa tells MiC.
The videos featuring a sexy Latin man (or woman), the insinuation-heavy letters that say 'A night sky filled with sparkling diamonds is but a shadow next to you,' and the more blunt texts 'UR kiss tickles my tongue like creamy Jalapeño sauce' are available through February. And those are just considered 'mild.'

Twenty years ago when I was just a teenager, the Jim Lee/Chris Claremont launch of X-Men #1 was by far the biggest comic event of 1991. The issue released with multiple covers, and the most famous is obviously the gatefold version that Jim Lee did with the entire team fighting Magneto. Even two decades after its release, the duo's run on the X-Men is still considered a classic and a fan favorite by X-Men readers.
Now for its 20th Anniversary, Marvel is re-releasing X-Men #1 in October. Not a simple reprint, the entire comic is being re-colored to look more like a modern issue. That means that instead of being on a white page as the comic was twenty years ago, the panels will be on black and the computer coloring naturally gives it an updated look.
You can check out the cover above, and Marvel has released three samples of the internal art:

NEW MILLENNIUM CHURCH OF LITTLE ROCK, led by REV. WENDELL GRIFFEN, to hold first public worship May 31 at LAKESHORE DRIVE BAPTIST CHURCH
MAY 29, 2009, LITTLE ROCK--- New Millennium Church of Little Rock, led by Rev. Wendell Griffen, will hold its first Sunday worship service at 9 a.m. on May 31, 2009, at Lakeshore Drive Baptist Church, 21 Lakeshore Drive, in Little Rock. Rev. Griffen is parliamentarian of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A., Inc. (NBCUSA), the nation's largest and oldest black Baptist denomination. He has been elected charter pastor of New Millennium, and will deliver the sermon—"Give Me This Water"—during the inaugural worship service. Afterwards, New Millennium members will greet visitors over coffee and homemade cookies. Sunday School will begin at 11 o'clock.
According to Rev. Griffen,"At New Millennium following Jesus means being agents of God's boundless love, hope, joy, justice, and peace to every person and the rest of creation. Just as God's love is boundless, membership in New Millennium is open to any follower of Jesus who is committed to being part of an inclusive, progressive, and service-focused community dedicated to loving and serving like Jesus. We are encouraged by the loving welcome from Lakeshore Drive Church, and are excited about sharing ministry opportunities, challenges, and celebrations of God's passionate love for the world from our Lakeshore Drive base."
New Millennium Church had been meeting in the Griffen home in west Little Rock for midweek prayer and study. Several weeks ago, Dr. Ray Higgins of Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of Arkansas spoke with Griffen about the possibility of New Millennium sharing the worship and other facilities of Lakeshore Drive Church. Dr. Higgins then helped representatives of both congregations meet. The meeting resulted in an agreement about how the established congregation and the new church could work together for God in the same space.
"We at New Millennium are really excited about the May 31 worship service," Griffen said. We have met at Lakeshore Drive for midweek Bible study, and have worshipped with Lakeshore Drive. But this marks our first Sunday service as New Millennium. We are excited about it and so are the people of Lakeshore Drive. Our congregations have tremendous potential for working together in worship, missional efforts in the Broadmoor/UALR neighborhood, and in other ways."
Previously, Rev. Griffen served as Pastor of Emmanuel Baptist Church (May 1988 until May 2001) and as Coordinator of Ministries at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church (from 2002 until earlier this year). He holds degrees in political science (1973) and law (1979) from the University of Arkansas, and is a U.S. Army veteran. After law school, he also engaged in seminary extension studies through Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary while maintaining his law practice with a leading Little Rock law firm. He was principal drafter of the strategic management plan adopted by the NBCUSA in 2002, and led the revision of the constitution and bylaws for the denomination in 2003. A Trustee of Arkansas Baptist College since August 2004, Griffen was Chair of the Board of Trustees from March 2005 to July 2007.
Rev. Griffen is married to Dr. Patricia Griffen, a clinical psychologist, and they are parents of two adult sons. In addition to his pastoral responsibilities with New Millennium, Griffen will continue teaching law as a visiting professor of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock William H. Bowen School of Law. He has published articles and often speaks to lawyers and other groups about law, religion, cultural competency, social justice, and professionalism. Griffen is also a contributing columnist to EthicsDaily.com, a division of the Baptist Center for Ethics (www.ethicsdaily.com).
New Millennium Church will be dually aligned with the National Baptist Convention U.S.A., Inc. and the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. New Millennium will worship in the Lakeshore Drive sanctuary at 9 a.m. each Sunday, while Lakeshore Drive is in Sunday School. The congregations will then reverse places, with Lakeshore Drive worship beginning at 11 a.m., while New Millennium conducts Sunday School.
For further information about New Millennium Church, contact LaShonda Wilbon at (501) 413-6335 or email@example.com. Rev. Griffen can be reached at (501) 416-1917 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Major depressive disorder and borderline personality disorder revisited: longitudinal interactions
Document Type
Publication Date
July 2004
Journal or Book Title
Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
BACKGROUND: This report investigates the longitudinal association of changes in major depressive disorder (MDD) and borderline personality disorder.
METHOD: A DSM-IV-diagnosed sample of 161 patients with borderline personality disorder who have been followed with repeated measures at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months are investigated to see whether those with co-occurring MDD differ at baseline and in their course. Proportional hazard regression and cross-lagged panel analyses are used to demonstrate whether changes in the course of either disorder have predictable effects on the course of the other.
RESULTS: The rate of remissions of borderline personality disorder was not affected by whether patients had co-occurring MDD. The rate of MDD remissions was significantly reduced by co-occurring borderline personality disorder. Both regression analyses and panel analyses indicated that improvements in borderline personality disorder were often followed by improvements in MDD but that improvements in MDD were not followed by improvements in borderline personality disorder. Five of the 9 borderline criteria, including those that most relate to affects, were particularly apt to remit prior to MDD remissions.
CONCLUSIONS: When borderline personality disorder and MDD co-occur, they can sometimes have independent courses, but more often improvements in MDD are predicted by prior improvements in borderline personality disorder. Clinicians should not ignore borderline personality disorder in hopes that treatment of MDD will be followed by improvement of borderline personality disorder.

It's the end of 2008 and what better time to reflect on the last twelve months?
First of all, I'm grateful my family and friends are all doing well. They provide me the kind of love and support that I know many people don't have. I try never to take that for granted.
Besides that though, this year was great for me in many ways, yet sad in others
Part of the "great" category is going to sound like a shameless BlogHer plug, but BlogHer was a big part of my life this year so here goes:
*I was hired as the Television/Online Video Contributing Editor for BlogHer and how cool has that been! Under the benevolent and watchful eye of BlogHer Community Manager Denise Tanton I've been able to write posts on a wide range of TV/video topics, while reaching out to a diverse community of BlogHer readers.
*I went to BlogHer '08 and BlogHer Boston and had the pleasure of meeting some of my fabulous fellow Contributing Editors and a bunch of great women bloggers. I also met the three women who founded BlogHer, Lisa Stone, Elisa Camahort Paige and Jory Des Jardins and what an amazing and smart trio they are! I should send Google a little something for leading me to their site in the first place.
*I participated in the first BlogHer Community Keynote at BlogHer '08 and what a thrill that was.
*Megan's Minute, my pride and joy, grew at a steady pace and continued to be a great source of satisfaction for me. Sometimes I can't quite believe that just over a year and a half ago I didn't really know what this "blogging thing" was all about.
*I decided to apply for a masters in journalism and hope to enter school in the of Fall '09. You think I'm bleary-eyed now, just wait!
*Barack Obama was elected President of the United States. Wait, let me repeat that 'cause it sounds so cool, Barack Obama, a black man, was elected President of the United States...something I would never have predicted this time last year. It makes me think about my late grandmother, how hard she worked and how proud she would be of our new first family. I know they have major challenges ahead but that doesn't diminish my anticipation for inauguration day.
In the sad category:
*I lost my Daisy. The holidays have been tough without her but when I miss her the most, I take out pictures and remember how wonderful she was.
*I know many people have lost their jobs this year and financially many are hurting. One of the things I love about blogging is many of those people can find fellowship and a sense of community with others like them online.
Which brings me to my readers. Thanks to all of you for making 2008 an outstanding year for me. For the New Year I wish you only the best.
Be good, be safe, be happy!

This week, NFL Commissioner ROGER GOODELL said that the league might consider dumping the extra point kick after a touchdown . . . because it's TOO EASY.
He said, quote, "The extra point is almost automatic. I believe we had five missed extra points this year out of 1,200 some odd [attempts]. So it's a very small fraction of the play, and you want to add excitement with every play."
Goddell added that IF the extra point kick is dropped . . . the best proposal he's heard is that you'd just immediately get seven points for a touchdown . . . and you COULD still opt to "go for two" to get an additional point.
The catch is, if you failed, you'd go back to just getting SIX points for the TD.
It's unclear when the league's competition committee would discuss this, but no change is expected for the upcoming season.
For what it's worth, San Francisco 49ers kicker PHIL DAWSON is NOT onboard. He Tweeted, quote, "Eliminate PATs? Success rate too high? QBs better be careful. The forward pass is becoming increasingly efficient. #PenalizeProgress."
(You can find video of Goodell's comments at NFL.com.)

My number one goal was to have fun and simplify so that's exactly what I did. I took it step-by-step and didn't get ahead of myself. After I finished building/priming my wooden panel I started practicing with my bleaching techniques. THEY DID NOT WORK, so I had to go with Plan B.
To accomplish the look I envisioned, I decided to use white paint diluted with water and then sprayed with alcohol. I practiced a few techniques and below are my results. I am going to go with a combination of the paint drips and the paint reacting with the alcohol to achieve a watery/wet effect.
Before I can apply the watery paint illusions I have start on the collage. First, I laid out my newsprint articles and music papers. Then I laid the guitar sculpture over it to see where I should position my favorite newspaper clippings. Next, I traced out the design of the guitar pieces before collaging. Then, I glued the music paper and newspaper articles strategically in the places where they would not be covered by the guitar pieces. Last, I applied my first coat of white paint. That is where I stopped last night.
This week I am going to apply more layers of the washed out paint over the newspaper and music. The main focal point is the guitar structure, but I want to make sure the background is rich with texture and content.
Thanks so much for following my project! What did you like best about this article? The pictures? The description? The different experiments/processes? Please tell me, I write these articles for you!

TEL AVIV – As Qatar gears up to host the World Cup 2022, the Egyptian Al-Watan daily has accused the Gulf country of hatching a "wicked plot" together with the Muslim Brotherhood to destroy Egypt's soccer teams.
One of the ways it will do so is by stealing Egypt's best players to add to its own national team, the newspaper said, noting that the Qatari team is "filled with naturalized foreigners."
"The operations carried out by Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood against Egypt have not, and will never, cease," the article, translated by the Middle East Media Research (MEMRI), read, adding that the Qataris "do the thinking, the plotting, and the funding, while the traitors in the banned organization," the Muslim Brotherhood, execute the Qataris' will.
The report claimed that the Qatari-Brotherhood axis is responsible for many plots against Egypt and this time "has turned to the field of sports, in a grand joint conspiracy whose aim is to destroy the important and vital field" of Egyptian soccer.
Al-Watan claimed to have obtained documents and information pertaining to a "wicked plot to smuggle a large group of talented young players" from Egypt to Qatar. The players would be naturalized Qatari citizens so that by the time it hosts the World Cup, the Egyptian players would be part of Qatar's national team.
The article then gives the names of players whose families have allegedly been approached by Qatari sports agents.
The article prompted a response from the Egyptian Football Association, which stated that any player who agrees to play in a country like Qatar or Turkey "that is hostile to Egypt, so long as they strive to demolish and destroy Egypt" has betrayed both the game and his country, and should pay for his crime.
In a follow-up article, Al-Watan reported that the Qatari-MB plot had led some soccer teams in Egypt to adopt various preventative measures, including signing their players to contracts and holding on to their passports for safekeeping.
Relations between Egypt and Qatar have been frosty for years, for the most part over Qatar's allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood.

In the world of superheroes Batman is arguably the most famous. There is something about his brooding countenance, and the fact that he is powerful and vulnerable all at once, that makes him extremely appealing to fans.
There is, however, another group of people that get into that whole "powerful, brooding and vulnerable" thing in a really big way. That's right, I'm talking about the ladies. Women simply can't resist a guy that is complicated, and Batman has that going on in a big way. In fact, he pretty much has anything a woman wants. Under his true identity as Bruce Wayne, he is extremely rich and he is good looking. Then, as Batman, he is powerful and has that bit of danger that women can't resist, even though they pretend that they can. In fact the only turn off about Batman to a woman would be that totally creepy relationship he has with his "ward" Dick Grayson, also known as Robin. Let's be honest, most women would see that and run the other way.
Still through the years Batman has gotten a lot of tail, although he always managed to screw things up, or sometimes, the ladies were killed. Such a drag. While we know for a fact he actually did the deed with most of these women, others were just implied, and for the sake of this list we are counting them anyway. Why? Because Batman is a grown man, and that's what grown men do. Here are the 15 hottest women that Batman has slept with.
15 Bekka
Bekka is a New God of Genesis, and made her first appearance in a comic around 1985. Part of her powers as a God is being the God of love, so basically she is Cupid. Batman falls under her spell, but apparently whenever Bekka put someone under a spell so they could not resist her, it meant that she could not resist the other person either. So in other words, it is pretty much the worst power ever. What is the point of making someone fall under your power if you fall under their power too? Regardless, this all meant that Batman and Bekka did the deed a few times, and also there is no doubt that Bekka is rather hot, so she belongs on this list. I wish I could find a chick as hot as Bekka to put a spell on me.
14 Black Canary
You may remember Black Canary from All Star Batman and Robin; if you don't, I can't say that I blame you, it certainly was not the best Batman comic ever. At one point Batman is possibly slaughtering a bunch of punks by starting a fire on the docks. Black Canary shows up and watches for a bit, then gets totally turned on by what she sees. The two of them end up doing it in an alley, and they leave their costumes on because they say that it is better that way. Now I am all for chicks that are into some weird stuff, but I have to say that normally when a relationship starts this way, it does not end with the woman meeting the parents and wedding bells. This relationship was no exception- it did not last long.
13 Rachel Dawes
Rachel Dawes is purely a product of the Batman movies, and never appeared in any of the comics. She first came to life as part of the Dark Knight Trilogy. Rachel is the childhood love of Bruce Wayne and is one of the only people that gets what he is really about. Of course, this turns into a huge problem; it kind of has to right? Bruce loves her but she doesn't know he is Batman. Oh, the problems of a superhero. All you are hiding from your wife is that you get turned on watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer; can you imagine trying to hide a secret as big as this? Rachel dies in The Dark Knight, which of course makes all of Batman's worrying a moot point. You know, because she's dead and everything.
12 Jezebel Jet
Jezebel Jet was one of Batman's more intense lovers, and their relationship has an ending that was rather intense as well. She and Batman had a lot in common. She was also quite rich and had lost her parents when she was a child- she even had a secret identity, just like Batman. The only problem was that it turned out her secret identity was as an agent of the Black Glove Association, and she was up to no good when it came to Bruce Wayne and Batman. Not to worry though, before she got too far in her plan, another villain decapitated her. Isn't that always the worst? You meet a new girl and things seem to be going great, then one day you go to pick her up for a date and someone has cut her head off. I hate it when that happens.
11 Zatanna Zatara
What could be hotter than a gorgeous superhero dressed up as a magician? Okay, lots of things, but still Zatanna was pretty darn hot. Zatanna first appeared in Hawkman in 1964 and was a pretty powerful sorceress who could do all sorts of things- except getting Batman to fall for her, apparently. This is one where we are going to have to guess whether they actually did it or not, but I still say they did. Zatanna is totally hot and was throwing herself at Batman all the time. In return Batman said that he liked her but that he "cared too much about her" to get seriously involved. We all know what that means. That is guy code for "friends with benefits." Basically Batman liked Zatanna enough to have some fun, but not enough to put a ring on it.
10 Lois Lane
Really Batman? Of all the women in the world that you could have gone for you had to go for the one woman who really messed up Superman's head? That is going totally against the bro code, but yeah, he did it. Bruce Wayne and Lois Lane had a nice little romance going until Batman decided to tell her that he had a secret identity as a super hero. When she found that out she dumped him, as she was burnt out from being with Superman. This must have been really confusing for her; like every guy she dates has a secret identity as a crime fighter. I imagine the next guy she chose was totally overweight or something, just so she could be sure that there was no secret superhero hiding inside.
9 Nocturna
Batman kind of broke type here when he went out with Nocturna. Who knew that he would have a bit of a thing for a goth type? Although I guess when you are named after a bat, you probably don't have that big of a problem with a woman that looks like a vampire. Nocturna used to be a villain but seemed to be willing to give that all up for a relationship with Batman. As far as he went, it seemed like he could pretty much care less about all of that villain stuff, because she was so hot. Things were moving along pretty fast and she was even talking about marriage, but one of her exes flipped out and wanted her dead which seemed to chill her and Batman out a bit. I am sure that kind of thing gets old after a while.
8 Wonder Woman
It totally makes sense that a superhero would go out with a superheroine, they understand each other and don't have to deal with the whole secret thing. But with that said, I have to admit I am not sure about this one. As far as they ever got, officially, was sharing a kiss, but I simply cannot imagine it going farther. Why? Well, because Wonder Woman is just so ridiculously hot. It does not matter if it is Lynda Carter, Gal Gadot, or an animated Wonder Woman- she is probably the hottest super heroine ever. So Batman, do us all a favor will you? Even if nothing ever happened beyond that kiss, just pretend something went farther. We don't want details, don't worry, that would ruin the whole thing.
7 Sasha Bordeaux
I know a lot of you guys don't like women with short hair. Well, I am here to tell you that you are wrong about that. Short hair on the right woman looks amazing. Just ask Batman; he fell hard for Sasha Bordeaux, who was hired to be his bodyguard. Now you know you have some pretty good game if a superhero hires you to protect them. She was into him well before he was into her, but eventually he came around. I guess having a super-hot woman as your security guard that is also in love with you tends to have that effect after a while. Like all of his relationships though, this one fizzled out, in large part because of all the day to day danger that they faced. One can imagine that must get tiring.
6 Julie Madison
Most of you know Julie Madison from the movie Batman and Robin, but a lot of you probably do not know her history with Bruce Wayne. Julie has actually been around for a long time now; her first appearance came in 1939, which makes her basically his first love. It didn't work out though, shocker, right? It turns out that she got tired of Bruce Wayne taking off all the time and then not being able to explain where he was. When you think of it, that would probably be a huge problem. One minute you are on the couch watching the Seahawks and Patriots, and next thing that your wife knows you are gone for like three days, then come back like nothing happened with a bunch of blood dripping from your neck. That's just not helpful to having a long-term relationship.
5 Vicki Vale
Good old Vicki Vale. To a lot of people that are fans of Batman she is his first known love interest. She first appeared way back in the '50s and was a reporter for the Gotham Gazette and was a rather obvious counterpart to Lois Lane and her role with Superman. She appeared in many comic books and also was in the very first Batman movie where she was played by Kim Basinger (Batman was play by Michael Keaton). While they hung out together for a long time, they never got all that serious, once again because of the whole secrecy thing. It seems like Batman's love life is full of women that either don't get him and are good for him, or women that do get him and are bad for him. Just like the rest of us.
4 Andrea Beaumont
Andrea is the masked alter ego for the Phantasm. She appeared in the animated movie Batman: Mark of the Phantasm, as a woman who was once engaged to Batman. Of course right as they are about to marry, criminals murder her father, which has to be a huge buzzkill for a relationship. Another thing that has to be a pretty big buzzkill is that Andrea looks totally freaky as The Phantasm. I mean, come on, how could you want to do the deed with someone after you saw them dressed like that? The whole thing is kind of the opposite of sexy. Either way all of this took its toll and the two never married, leaving Bruce Wayne and Batman alone - at least until the next gal came along.
3 Talia Al Ghul
Talia and Batman have a kind of odd relationship. According to Son of Batman she even admitted to drugging him and having sex with him when he was knocked out to have his child and also married him without his consent. Hey, let's face it, we all have had a girl like Talia at one point in our life, and if we were lucky we got out of it without having to file a restraining order. Batman keeps coming back to her no matter how bad things get, though. This is one of those age old questions, not just for Batman, but for the rest of us guys- why do we always get so turned on by crazy girls? Although I guess I should not speak for all of us, I should just speak for me. And Batman, of course.
2 Silver St. Cloud
Silver St. Cloud was yet another woman in Batman's life that said she could not take him being Batman and broke up with him. She came back to him though, and said she loved him too much to let him go. After a while Batman decided he might even stop being a superhero and settle down with Silver, but instead a villain killed her. This is kind of the whole thing about these women; they are all like "Oh no Batman, the whole thing is too dangerous" and he is all "Oh come on baby, knock it off." Then they come back with "Okay, you are right, sorry baby" and then they get killed. Hey Batman, here is a pro tip- when your girlfriend breaks up with you because you are Batman, she is right! Let her go.
1 Catwoman
For every guy there is always one woman that stands above all of the others and of course at the top of any list such as this there has to be Catwoman. Batman has had such a long and complicated relationship with her she just has to sit at the top. Oh, and she is also super hot. Their relationship constantly shifts and changes. At times she is a villain, at other times such as in the movie The Dark Knight Rises, they stop being superheroes and run away together. In some of the comics they are shown to be married and even have children together. No matter how you slice it, Batman's relationship with Catwoman is very long and complicated, which is why she deserves to be at the top of this list. Oh yeah, and she is also super hot. Wait, did I mention that already?

Is "Voluntourism" Itself Being Exploited? via The Huffington Post
Voluntourism is under fire. I know, because I have been a part of pointing out theunintended negative consequences of our good intentions for some time. Recently, blogs about "the problem of little white girls and boys" and other rants about voluntourism are starting to get more and more popular. But maybe it's time to look further

Dental implants are an increasingly popular tooth replacement option due to their permanence, durability, and natural look and feel. Since they are placed directly into the jawbone, they not only fill the gap in your smile, but also can improve your oral health at the same time.
If you're missing a full arch of teeth, but don't want to move forward with a denture, consider All-On-4 implants as your treatment of choice. All-on-4 installs a permanent denture in your jaw, clipped by four implants that have the potential to last for many years to come.
If you've been told that your upper jaw is insufficient to support a dental implant, Dr. Stearns offers sinus augmentations for better implant placement. Through a state-of-the-art procedure, a bone graft in the sinus cavity creates a better foundation for the dental implant to be placed. Learn more about this unique procedure.
Got a burning question about dental implant procedures in Englewood, NJ? We got the answers here at Dr. Stearns' office. Check out our FAQ to see if we've answered your question. If not, feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to take your questions.
If your jawbone has been depleted due to tooth loss, we can apply new bone material to trigger the bone to regenerate, and also target areas where bone regeneration is sorely needed. This creates a better platform for your dental implant to be placed, and a better chance at success for your implant.
Wisdom teeth are molars that erupt later in a person's life, between the ages of 17 and 21. Oftentimes, these extra teeth are not needed, and can pose some serious health risks if not removed in time. Learn more about how we can detect and remove wisdom teeth before they reach the damaging stage.
While dental implants are an increasingly popular tooth replacement option, they are now becoming easier and more efficiently placed thanks to advancements in technology. Dr. Stearns utilizes computer-guided implant surgery to ensure that his patients' implants are placed comfortably, so they look and feel natural.
