If you're wondering how much dentists make, you've come to the right place. This article takes an in-depth look at job growth and salaries of general dentists across the country over the next decade.
Dentists diagnose and treat conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and mouth. They're main responsibility is to provide preventive and restorative care, such as performing root canals, fillings, extractions, bridges, and general inspections, as well as offering hygiene advice to patients.
If you're considering a job in healthcare, now is a great time to look into dentistry as a career. As with many other careers in the healthcare field, the demand for dentists is expected to rise over the next decade with the retirement of the Baby Boomer dentists, creating a shortage and high demand for skilled professionals in the field.
How much a dentist can make via salary can vary dramatically depending on several factors, including location, age, experience, education, skill-level, type of position and several others.
As represented in the graph below, dentists without any further specialization or production incentives can expect to earn a median hourly wage of $68.48, or $142,428 per year.
However, you can directly influence this figure to increase your income well over six figures by specializing in a particular area, working out production incentives, doing consulting work, or working as a contractor or by being self-employed.
In order to become a dentist, students must pursue a either a bachelor's or preprofessional degree which will generally take 4 years of your time. This must be followed by the completion of a 4-year Doctor of Dental Surgery program and the required state license. In total, future dentists are looking at a minimum of 8 years of high education, and the costs that come along with it.
The return on investment for dentists will ultimately vary based on the individual, their circumstances, the school of choice, the location in which they work, whether they choose to work in corporate or private practices, and other factors.
Regardless of which path you choose, with a projected 60,00 new dentists being employed between 2016 and 2030, you can be confident that you will be high demand for the foreseeable future.
A major factor in determining what your salary may look like is the location in which you plan to work. However, this principle applies to nearly all occupations largely due to the varying cost-of-living rates across the country.
If you're looking to make the most possible, consider the number of dentists residing in that state as well as the cost of living. Areas that are in need of dental professionals will pay top-dollar to attract skilled professionals.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics collects salary and employment data for nearly all positions, nationwide. The following table ranks all 50 states from the highest to lowest paying for dentists:

"We are new to the Leonberger family. I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have Karen Stickel as our breeder. From the beginning, Karen was invested in her puppies and the best placement/life for them and their future families. She has undoubtedly gone above and beyond when raising these puppies, and it shows in their intelligence and temperament. Her puppy techniques, knowledge, and dedication made bringing home our Brie an easy transition. As a breeder, Karen is there for you 24/7, and this continues even after the puppy comes home. We looked for a breeder, and we're lucky enough to find a friend in Karen. Her knowledge goes beyond just this breed, and patience with new owners' questions/concerns is a big plus in our book!" - Melissa Hope
"We cannot express the joy that adding a Leo to our home has brought, and it was the love and compassion Karen has for her dogs that made her stand out from most breeders we had spoken to. She truly treats her puppies as a part of her family. As new-bees to the Leo community, it has been very reassuring knowing that we can call Karen at any time with any question. She truly makes you feel like a part of her family. We are amazed by the temperament of Yogi, and we attribute that to the amazing temperaments of both parents, Liberty and Wyatt. Yogi is always smiling, laid-back, and we are consistently complimented for how handsome he is and for being a gentle giant. We are so happy we managed to find Masonhaus Leos, and would recommend speaking with Karen for anyone interested in adding a small bear to their family!" - Yogi's Family
"We have had Leonbergers from different breeders for over twenty-five years. Our current Leo, Violet, is now two years old from Masonhaus Leos C litter. When we met Karen we knew we had found a breeder who genuinely cared for her dogs. Karen was friendly, informative and willing to answer any questions we had. Since that time our relationship with Karen has become one of close friendship. She asks how Violet is doing and wants to make sure she is doing well. She even stops by periodically to say hello to her! Karen grooms both Violet and Sasha, our female rescue dog from Tennessee. When we go on vacation we board the "girls" with Karen. If you are looking for the perfect companion, or want to learn a little more about the breed I would highly recommend contacting Karen." - Sheriff Ed Rochford (Ret.)
"Karen is unlike any breeder we've ever worked with- we can turn to her with questions any time, even though our guy is already two years old. She's a member of our family now. It's been so great to be in contact with the rest of Walden's littermates as well - we love keeping track of everyone." - Walden's family
"We could not be happier to have a Leo from Karen. From the very first time we talked with her, we knew that she cared about her dogs and their puppies more than anyone else we had spoken with. Her pups are truly part of her family, and their puppies are no different. "Momma Karen" has been there for us any time we have a question, and if she doesn't have an answer ready, she will make sure she finds one for us. We were blown away by the amazing temperaments of both Koosa and Tindra, and Ares is no different. Ares is such a fun-loving pup and is constantly complimented for his laid-back and easy-going temperament - even as a young puppy! We consider ourselves so lucky to have found Karen and Masonhaus Leos, and would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing family dog!" - Alex, Emma & Ares

The promise of sleep tracking technology is powerful and—at first blush—highly convincing. Yet for all the promise of sleep trackers, a number of health pros have started to speak out against them.
"Many in the field are appreciative of the greater attention that these trackers have brought to the issue of insufficient sleep," says Jamie Zeitzer, a circadian physiologist at the Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine. Experts like Zeitzer, however, doubt the data these trackers give has real value to many users—and suspect that tracking could actually be detrimental to good sleep.
No one in the sleep science community is calling for the abolition of tracking tech. Many doubters, however, do think that we should perhaps lean away from them, or at least make people more aware of their limitations. Dalva Poyares and Ronaldo Piovezan, two sleep researchers based in Brazil, for instance, have been hosting presentations for medical professionals over the last year "to warn about the limitations of … these devices."
A fair amount of this skepticism stems from longstanding doubts about just how accurate these devices are.
These doubts have led to, among other things, a 2012 lawsuit against Fitbit for allegedly overestimating users' sleep by a significant margin. There was also an entire edition of the academic journal SLEEP in 2015 focusing on trackers' limitations, and a 2017 warning from Consumer Reports about the potential for misreported data in most tracking tech.

Exeter City will look to arrange a behind-closed-doors friendly match this weekend following their planned trip to Stevenage falling victim to Covid-19.
The Boro on Monday informed the EFL that they would be unable to fulfil their next two fixtures following recent positive Covid-19 tests and the requirement for players and staff to self-isolate, which meant Saturday's game against the Grecians has been postponed.
City boss Matt Taylor said that the club will try and arrange a game to get the minutes in the legs of some of those returning to fitness, but was also left disappointed that the game had been called off.
And he once again was left bemoaning the lack of consistency from the EFL as on Tuesday night, Sunderland was forced to play against Wimbledon despite eight positive Covid-19 tests, and the Grecians themselves having earlier in the season faced a Scunthorpe United team who had multiple positive tests in the run-up to the game.
When asked if he thought Saturday's game with Stevenage should be going ahead or should be cancelled, Taylor said: "We're disappointed as we want to play as many games as we can. I think Scunthorpe were in a worse situation when we played them so it's not for me to discuss.
"We are disappointed as it's a game we planned and prepared for and will probably be played when Stevenage are probably in a better position than they are now.
"You are asking the wrong person about consistency and I've probably moaned enough about the EFL this season."
He added that the club were looking to arrange a friendly in order to get some minutes into the legs of players returning from injury, with Nigel Atangana and Nicky Law needing 90 minutes, while both Lewis Page and Lewis Ward are back in training after their injury absences and could feature as well.
"If we have to have a training game, it's never the same, so we are trying to assess that as the week goes on," Taylor added.
He said that they would be continue to prepare as normal for the Boxing Day game at home to Forest Green Rovers, with captain Jake Taylor adding that the 10 day break the players have may be an advantage as it allows the team to freshen up
The skipper said: "It may be a good opportunity to rest a little bit. It has been a hectic schedule so far and hectic schedule after this, so a few down days and then have a full week ahead of the Forest Green game.
"It could give us an advantage, but I think a little bit of rest for some of the boys who have played a lot will be nice and I hope we can be fresh over the Christmas period."
The ten day break is the longest gap between matches that City have had all season – having only had two spare midweeks since the end of September – and after Forest Green on Boxing Day, they will travel to league leaders Newport County on December 29, before the long trip to Barrow on January 2.

Why is Safety Important in Construction
Importance of Safety in Construction
Running a hazard-free construction site is important for obvious reasons. Of course, you want to ensure that all workers on the job are safe and you also want to be sure to prevent any potential accidents from occurring whenever possible. Naturally, you do not want anyone to come into harm's way, but it can be potentially costly to deal with workplace injuries. In addition to this, there are some other effects that safety issues can have on a job site.Financial Savings
Safety on the job also equates to long-term savings, which is not necessarily something that may occur to you when you are thinking about job safety! These savings come into play in a few different ways, the first of which is insurance. Insurance is a non-negotiable if you are doing construction work, and it is not cheap, either! However, the fewer accidents that you have on the job and on the record, the lower your insurance cost will be. Of course, you will also not need to deal with costly legal issues or pay worker's comp if you keep your workers safe and healthy.Industry Credibility
Obviously, nobody wants to hire a business that is going to have safety issues and injuries while completing their work. Clients are going to opt for safer companies whenever they can because they are linked with the construction company once they make the choice. Any injuries or dangerous happenings on the job may be reflected upon the client themselves, at least in the eyes of the public, and they will not want the bad press! The safer you are, the more job opportunities and contracts will be available to you.Credibility with Workers
Safety will also make your company more desirable to employees, affording you a greater pool of candidates– and likely quality candidates, at that! Of course, employees will not want to willingly put themselves in harm's way, so they will avoid companies that have a reputation of being unsafe whenever they can. Workers are looking for cautious, safe work environments where they can complete their 8 hours– or more than 8 hours. After all, nobody wants to trade off their health for money. It is not worth it!How to Ensure Safety on the Job
There are some simple ways that you can be sure to uphold safety on your construction site. For instance, performing routine checks and maintenance on your equipment and heavy machinery is crucial to preventing accidents. Having trained professionals come in and do site safety inspections is another way to ensure that everything is working properly and is up to code– and it also ensures that if there are issues with the site, they are caught before someone gets hurt.Preventative Checks
Many of the accidents and safety issues that can pop up during a construction project are due to tools and fault machinery or other equipment. Firstly, it's important to be sure that your site is adhering to all OSHA guidelines. Some important things to take a look at are electrical tools or other electrical equipment. Issues with wiring or other defects can be hazardous to workers and lead to harm, such as electrocution. All machinery and tools should be properly maintained to avoid the emergence of any issues, but even if they are regularly maintained, they should still be checked and evaluated for safety regularly, too. There is no such thing as being too careful on the job site!Vehicles in landscape and building construction can account for many different kinds of workplace accidents, so it is important to be scheduling regular maintenance and inspection of these. Some, but not all, companies will have mechanics on site that are dedicated to these machines. If they do not have their own trained mechanics, and none of the other employees are certified to perform these tasks on the machine, the company should either be bringing them to a third party or hiring a mechanic to come to the site or garage. Some such vehicles include trucks, forklifts, excavators, and even more stationary equipment like cranes.
Site Inspections
Site walkthroughs are important to not only gauge the progress of the construction work but to also evaluate the job for safety and to see if all coding and regulations are being followed. Not all site inspections are done the same way– depending on the size of the construction site, the inspection may be done by one or several people across different trades and concentrations. On some occasions, specialists are also brought in, in order to consult on different topics like accessibility or waste management. When it comes to site evaluations to specifically evaluate the quality of the work and the safety of the site– typically referred to as a quality inspection–, these will result in monthly reports that identify issues and concerns so that they can be properly addressed.There are several points of a construction project during which a site inspection is important. These inspections help to mitigate risks and human error, allowing your team to stay ahead of any safety issues. This is why it is important to conduct inspections at key points in the project, such as project commencement, excavation, and roof construction. Typically, during an inspection, the individuals conducting the check will have a list of elements to inspect and adhere to. What is being looked at may fluctuate slightly, depending on individual details about the project.

Helping small-scale farmers withstand climate change through radio
Ramatu Djan is a 49 year old farmer. She lives in Chinchana, a farming community in the Sissala East Municipality of the Upper West Region of Ghana. The Upper West region is in north-western Ghana, where the majority of the population are farmers.
In recent years, climate change has made farming a challenge for many. But thanks to new methods delivered over the radio, some farmers are adapting to the changing weather.
"Some of my colleagues who refused to use the new method of farming are now jealous seeing how well my crops are doing. I am very grateful for the knowledge given to me," says Ramatu.
The radio programs, broadcast on Radford FM, are part of the Climate Information Made Available to Entrepreneurial Farmers – or CLIMATE – project. The project aims to improve the resilience of farmers in northern Ghana in the face of climate change.
Farming incomes threatened by climate change
According to Ramatu, farming is her main source of income. She uses proceeds earned from selling her produce to cater for her household. Prior to the CLIMATE project, Ramatu employed the typical traditional method of farming: she planted old seeds, practised bush burning to prepare her farmland, did not plant in rows and did not have any knowledge about water harvesting.
"I clearly now understand the impact of climate change on farming activities and our lives as human beings. I have therefore adopted controlled bush burning instead of indiscriminate bush burning as a method of preparing my land for farming. I have also been able to harvest water both at home and on my farm for domestic and dry season farming activities," she said
Radio teaches farmers new methods
She said listening to the radio program on Radford FM has been beneficial and that the programs motivated her to attempt something new. She learned that indiscriminate bush burning destroys the texture and fertility of the landt, now, she said she practices controlled bush burning or looks for alternative means of disposing of waste on her farm. She added that she never leaves fire on her farm without supervision. Ramatu also says that harvesting water for both domestic and farm activities has saved her a lot of money.
Ramatu is married with six children. Her husband is also a farmer. She has three acres of land where she grows maize, pepper and groundnut. This year, she hopes to see harvests better than in the past.
Traditionally, farmers were able to predict the weather through various indigenous means. They could tell the weather simply by the presence of certain birds, the appearance of clouds, the change in wind patterns or simply by the germination of some plants. Over the years, due to the rising irregular weather conditions and human activities, farmers cannot rely entirely on the traditional strategies as a means of forecasting the weather. The CLIMATE project is looking to change that.
Tackling climate uncertainty
The CLIMATE project is a three-year initiative funded by the African Development Bank through Canadian Feed the Children that seeks to deepen existing adaptation practices to enhance access to and integrate climate information into the practices of small-scale women and men farmers in 23 communities in three regions of northern Ghana using radio and ICTs.
Climate uncertainty exposes farmers to many risks. Farmers need climate information so as to make informed decisions. The unavailability of accurate weather and climate information deters small-scale farmers from making major farming decisions — decisions such as when to prepare their land, irrigate, plant and harvest. Though weather information is made available on a daily basis by the Ghana Meteorological Agency and are disseminated through the various media in the country, farmers are in need of information specific to their communities, broadcast in their own language, and tailored to the agricultural sector, letting them know what to do and when to do it.
To improve farmers' resilience to climate change, Farm Radio International is producing gender sensitive quality climate radio content that makes that content accessible to farmers, and provides advice as farmers adjust to the changing climate. The radio programs have been designed to adequately provide information tailored to the needs of small-scale farmers. The programs give farmers the opportunity to ask questions on-air and, through Farm Radio International's Uliza system, provide small-holder farmers with seasonal weather advisories.
All this so that farmers like Ramatu can improve their harvests, and adapt to changing weather.

Recent Regulation in the EU
Right now the UK's departure from the European Union – commonly called Brexit – dominates debate in the EU's political capital of Brussels, Belgium. Beyond the back and forth between Brussels and London, a storm is also gathering surrounding the EU's regulation of cryptocurrency.
Though the EU will not be prone to the temperamental approach to cryptocurrency seen by other governments around the world, the difficulty of establishing fair and effective regulation agreeable to all 28 member states cannot be overstated. Let's look now at recent history, and what it may mean for the next future.
April saw a landmark vote as the European Parliament passed laws that would regulate cryptos across the continent. This served to ratify an original agreement struck back in December with the European Council. As part of the EU's 5th version of its anti-money laundering directive (known as 5AMLD), this new agreement came with some real significance behind it – but ultimately the EU policy towards cryptos is still a work in progress. More recently, the EU sent a diametrically opposite message when it indicated that further regulation is unlikely.
The Difficulty of the Task
While the EU may seek to tighten the screws on the crypto industry to clamp down on money laundering and other crimes, given its size and scope the risk of a blanket policy smothering innovation and industry also looms large. Especially because, even after the introduction of 5AMLD, the difference in local legislation from one member state to the next can be significant.
The differences notwithstanding, there are areas of common ground to be found here. Many member states across the EU reacted with outrage following the revelations of the leaks of the Panama and Paradise Papers, which detailed the offshore tax minimization practices of many of Europe's elite. While tax minimization is not always illegal, tax evasion is.
For Brussels, the rise of crypto as a financial force is interspersed with their desire to clamp down on avenues that would allow for more of what would otherwise be coming to governments to be rerouted elsewhere. Yet, traveling this path will require great precision, especially with a view to the future.
Brussels and Valletta
Ultimately nobody knows yet how big crypto will get. If they do achieve explosive growth and become sustainable to the point of rivaling or replacing fiat currency, the EU will have a whole new problem on its hands. In the meantime, a key area to watch will be Malta's plans for its cryptocurrency expansion.
Right now, Valetta is bullish about its prospects to grow Malta into a cryptocurrency mega hub, but this is based upon the status quo seen in Brussels right now. Yet, while Brussels may have a long reach, they also know they must tread carefully when it comes to managing its member states.
The political damage done to the institution by the Greece fiasco, Brexit (even if the UK has done far more damage to itself), and the pesky broader tensions between Northern Europe and Southern Europe (especially the PIGS economy) is significant. Nobody is suggesting Brussels has an easy task, but critics of the EU's alleged rigidity will watch closely the future of its crypto regulation, and how effectively it's applied.

WBN was informed on Tuesday that a contract had been received late on Monday, a whole THREE DAYS LATER than originally stated by Hearn in several interviews.
Wilder's team had expected to be mulling over the deal on Friday, although have now been given just a short time to agree to the stipulations before Anthony Joshua moves on to an arranged fight with mandatory Alexander Povetkin.
"They (Team AJ) want to get moving,' Hearn told Sky Sports after confirming to WBN the contract was sent to Wilder's representatives.
"They boxed March 31, so he's had a nice break. They would like to know, they would like a decision. Wilder is reviewing the contract offer
"Of course he wants the Wilder fight. He wants to be the undisputed champion, but if it's going to be slow-tracked, if people are going to mess around, if it's going to drag on, they would rather jump in and say okay, let's go end of September with Povetkin, and then keep the discussions going with Wilder, but sign now.'
"If Wilder says we're good to go, that's almost certainly going to be the next fight," he added.
Finkel has promised to keep WBN updated in regards to a future decision as it's not a foregone conclusion that the deal will be signed off.
WBC title holder Wilder had stated he'd agreed the terms of the deal stated previously by Hearn and Joshua, which would have to have been laid down in writing and not altered for the heavyweight super-fight to take place this year.
With Joshua v Povetkin ready to go, it seems that fight could be the focus moving forward unless Wilder throws a spanner in the works and sends back the completed forms on Wednesday or Thursday.

It's the middle of summer with record high temperatures throughout Europe, the US and elsewhere, and people everywhere are turning to outdoor swimming pools for respite. We take it for granted that somebody somewhere is monitoring and balancing chemicals so that the whole experience is pleasant and safe, rarely thinking about the chemistry protecting us.
Why does pool water need to be chemically treated?
Pathogenic microorganisms – including bacteria like Escherichia coli or Salmonella and viruses – end up in swimming pool water, often introduced by swimmers themselves. Disinfectants are required to kill these pathogens, and a chlorine-based disinfectant – sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) or bleach – is the most commonly used and effective of these compounds. When sodium hypochlorite dissolves in water, it forms a weak acid, known as hypochlorous acid, which is a powerful microbicidal agent and active against bacteria, viruses, algae and fungi.
Hypochlorite dissolves in water to form hypochlorous acid:
NaOCl + H2 O ⇌ HOCl + Na+ + OH-
Hypochlorous acid is produced by our body's white blood cells as part of a range of chemicals used to keep infection at bay. As hypochlorous acid is a powerful oxidant it can destroy pathogens by disrupting cell membranes and breaking down proteins.
What does a healthy pool look like?
A clean pool will have clear water, though it often appears blue because of how light and water interact. Maintaining the correct pH in a swimming pool is important too, as the ability of free chlorine (the combined levels of hypochlorous acid and its hypochlorite ion, OCl-) to kill microorganisms drops as the pool's pH becomes more basic, while pool corrosion and eye irritation are more likely when the pH is more acidic. The optimal pH for pool water is around 7.4. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a pH of between 7.2 and 7.8, and a free chlorine concentration of at least 1ppm in swimming pools.
What's that smell?
The odour of swimming pools has become synonymous with chlorine. However, this is a misconception. The 'pool smell' that evokes all of those summer and vacation memories is not chlorine, it's actually chloramines, which are derivatives of ammonia that build up in improperly treated pool water. Chloramines are formed during a reaction between hypochlorite and nitrogen compounds in contaminants like sweat, oils and urine from swimmers.
Chloramines can form in various ways in swimming pools. One of the simplest is the reaction of ammonia-like compounds, such as urea from swimmers, with hypochlorous acid. This leads to the formation of mono-, di- and trichloramines.
Chloramine formation:
R2 NH + HOCl → R2 NCl + H2 O
These toxic chloramines then evaporate, producing the odour that people associate with a clean, or even over-chlorinated, pool. It is counterintuitive that this familiar odour actually indicates that disinfection of the pool is not working properly, and that more chlorine is needed to get rid of those chloramines and keep it sanitary.
What about trichloramine?
Trichloramine (NCl3) is a toxic, explosive and smelly chloramine created by the reaction of nitrogen compounds in the water with hypochlorous acid. The compound was first synthesised in the early 19th century by the French physicist and chemist Pierre Louis Dulong. He quickly learned that it was explosive, after losing an eye and two fingers, chemists Simon Cotton and Laura Finney recount. Soon after Dulong's discovery, UK scientists Humphry Davy and Michael Faraday sustained temporary eye and permanent finger damage, respectively, when they tried to repeat Dulong's work. Fortunately, trichloramine is not explosive in solution, but does add to swimming pools' distinctive smell.
Why does pool water change colour?
Urban myths that colour-changing chemicals are added to public swimming pools and react with body fluids like urine or blood can be safely dismissed. Another spurious, but often repeated, claim is that chlorine will turn blonde hair green. It is the case, however, that some algaecides used in pools contain copper, which can turn light locks verdant. The hypochlorite oxidises the copper in the water and it then binds to the proteins in hair, which can lead to a green tint. To help prevent this, a leave-in conditioner can be applied to the head prior to swimming, and hair should be washed immediately after leaving the pool.
This recalls the incident at the 2016 summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil when the water in the diving pool turned an alarming emerald hue, with this then also happening in another of the Rio Olympic pools. At first the very public and embarrassing incident was blamed on algae caused by heat and insufficient wind. However, an investigation ultimately revealed that excess hydrogen peroxide – reportedly on the order of 160 litres – had been added to the water. This inactivated the hypochlorite, allowing algae to grow. Organisers stressed that the green water posed no danger to the swimmers competing for medals, yet the pools were nevertheless drained and the water replaced.
Are pool chemicals dangerous?
They can be. There were more than 4500 emergency department visits every year in the US between 2008 and 2017, as a result of pool chemical injuries, according to CDC data. About two-thirds of these incidents occurred during the summer swimming season, which runs from late May through to early September in the northern hemisphere. The CDC's review of the 13,000 emergency room trips caused by pool chemicals between 2015 and 2017 showed that the most frequent injuries were due to inhaling chemical fumes, vapours or gases; not keeping the chemicals out of the hands of children and teenagers; and adding chemicals to the water just before swimmers enter. Over 3700 of these injuries were diagnosed as dermatitis or conjunctivitis, and nearly 2600 were chemical burns. No deaths were reported.
The CDC does, however, recount a chlorine gas incident that occurred at a public outdoor pool in upstate New York in 2018. This was caused when concentrated hypochlorite and an acid were mixed because chemical feeders did not automatically turn off following a power outage that had shut down the recirculation pump. People in the pool suffered from blisters, nausea and vomiting.
Acid and bleach (hypochlorite) should never be mixed as the reaction liberates chlorine. Accidents where cleaning agents have been mixed have killed people in the past.
The reaction between hydrochloric acid (commonly used to maintain pool pH) and the disinfectant hypochlorite liberates chlorine gas:
NaOCl + 2HCl → Cl2 + NaCl + H2 O
How can we stay safe?
To prevent pool chemical injuries, the CDC says disinfection products must be kept below 35°C and in manufacturer-recommended conditions – such as low humidity and away from direct sunlight – and individual chemicals should be stored separately to prevent mixing. In addition, these substances must be protected from moisture, which can cause unwanted chemical reactions and release dangerous gases. The CDC also recommends installing an alarm to alert users if a pool's recirculation pump shuts down, as well as a device that automatically deactivates the chemical feed pumps when there is no or low flow in the recirculation system.

The Andrews Labor Government is getting things done, investing in the big projects that South-West Victoria needs and the people we need to deliver them.
The Victorian Budget 2018/19 delivers $4.3 billion for regional Victoria, making sure regional communities have reliable roads and rail, good schools and quality healthcare.
As we build our state, thousands of new jobs are being created. We want to make sure Victorians are first in line for these good new jobs.
Skilled workers are in demand across regional Victoria and more than ever, the skills required for these high-demand jobs are learned at TAFE. To ensure that cost never stops people from getting the right skills, it includes $172 million to make priority TAFE and pre-apprenticeship courses free – helping us fill skills gaps and get Victorians into work.
More students will be able to access this training and get these good jobs, with $304 million to open new classes and fund more than 30,000 new training places.
More young people will be able to get a trade and go straight into a job with new Head Start Apprenticeships and Traineeships giving students the option to undertake an additional year of high school, and graduate with an apprenticeship or traineeship, ready to work in a high demand or high growth industry.
An extra $44 million will also update learning materials, introduce independent assessments and bring back trade papers to make sure our apprentices are trained to the same high standards with recognised qualifications.
Because every family, in every community, should have a good school close to home, this Budget includes $181 million to build, plan and upgrade 60 regional schools.
Local schools to benefit include Derrinallum P-12, Lismore Primary, Mortlake P-12, Hawkesdale P-12, Heywood District Secondary, Warrnambool West Primary and Warrnambool Special Developmental School.
South-west Victorian families with kids at kinder will also benefit from $3.6 million to support children in the Wimmera South West region get the most out of kindergarten and boost school readiness.
Right now, mental illness is hurting communities and leaving families heartbroken, so the Budget invests a record $705 million to give Victorians the treatment they need.
It includes more rehab beds, more mental health support workers, new and upgraded specialist facilities across the state.
A further $50 million will boost the Labor Government's flagship Regional Health Infrastructure Fund – a fund that is upgrading hospitals and health facilities in places such as Port Fairy and Heywood – to make sure regional Victorians can get the best healthcare, in the best facilities, wherever they live.
And because our regional roads are not up to scratch, $941 million will get on with the job of fixing our regional road network. This will enable the biggest road maintenance blitz our state has ever seen with $73 million set to be spent in South-West Victoria and a dedicated country roads body, Regional Roads Victoria.
As part of the unprecedented road work blitz, urgently needed repairs will be carried out on sections of the Henty Highway and the Glenelg Highway as well as dozens of other roads in need of repair.
The Budget also includes $39.9 million to upgrade the Princes Highway West between Colac and the South Australian border and there will be major works to vital connections like the Hamilton Highway, which will be upgraded between Geelong and Cressy to improve safety and traffic flow.
Key roads between Barwon Downs and the Great Ocean Road will also be upgraded including Birregurra-Forrest Road, Forrest Apollo-Bay Roads and Skenes Creek Road.
This year's Budget also includes $704 million to give Victorians in regional areas more reliable public transport, including funds to provide extra stabling and maintenance, alongside the important design work and pre-procurement for the next generation of VLocity trains.
Businesses in regional Victoria will benefit from additional payroll tax cuts. The regional payroll tax rate will be 2.425 per cent – half the metropolitan tax rate and the lowest rate in the nation – helping local businesses expand and growing local jobs.
The Labor Government is also listening to regional Victorians, delivering almost $760 million for local priorities identified by our Regional Partnerships. This includes a share of $153.2 million to start delivery of stage 2 of the Shipwreck Coast Masterplan in partnership with the Federal Government, who will be asked match this as part of a City Deal.
This next stage of the Shipwreck Coast Masterplan includes a Glenample Visitor Experience Centre, a shuttle service between Glenample and Loch Ard and infrastructure improvements to the Twelve Apostles National Park. The project is also expected to attract significant private sector investment in nearby towns.
The Labor Government is investing a further $11 million to reduce the digital divide and better connect regional and rural communities – another key priority from our Regional Partnerships.
This is a Labor Budget that delivers on the things that matter in regional Victoria. This is a Budget that gets things done.
Quotes attributable to Premier Daniel Andrews
"Wherever you live, this is a Labor Budget that delivers on the things that matter – new skills, good jobs, more schools and better roads."
"It's an investment in the big projects that regional Victoria needs and the people we need to deliver them."
Quotes attributable to Member for Western Victoria Gayle Tierney
"Whether it's rebuilding TAFE after decimation by the Coalition or delivering on the Shipwreck Coast's potential, we're getting things done. This is about boosting jobs and ensuring the region remains a great place to be."

6 Gift Ideas for the Minimalist in Your Life
Gifts are the best! But clutter? Not so much. Unfortunately the holiday season is riddled with gifts that will inevitably collect dust in the corner junk drawer. It's a tough situation: throwing the gift away would be rude, but come on, how many fox sock puppets does a person really need?
Rather than thinking about what kind of 'stuff' you can get your loved ones, try taking the minimalist approach. Make everyone's life easier and tidier by consciously trying to gift things that won't clutter their lives for years to come. Here are 6 ideas to help you get rolling:
A subscription service
Whether it's coffee, wine, dinner or audiobooks, there is a subscription service for almost everything. Think about what your minimalist is passionate about, and look for a service that provides in that area. Gifting a new subscription is fun, interesting and, most importantly, impermanent.
A self-care basket
By making a unique self-care basket catered towards the person you are giving it to, you are showing someone you care while ideally giving them something they will actually use. My self-care basket would ideally include balsam essential oil, bath salts, a gift certificate for a massage, BeePowered honey, some Japanese green tea, single-origin dark chocolate, broccoli sprouting seeds, and a good book or jazz funk album, if anyone needs to know… Think about what makes your person feel unique, healthy and indulgent and find small, suitable items to fit into their customized basket.
Tickets to a performance
I find concert tickets to be the perfect gift. They are meaningful, inspiring and don't clutter the giftee's house. Think musicals, plays, rock concerts, comedy nights, interesting talks and more. This type of gift is perfect for a good friend or loved one who will take you with them for a fun night on the town!
Enrollment in a class or workshop
We all love to learn new and interesting things. Maybe it's a class in wine tasting or cooking homemade pad thai. Maybe it's a workshop in creative writing, public speaking or jewelry welding. Or a day pass to the rock gym or a flight lesson or a guided fly fishing excursion. Gifting a class shows someone you care about their hobbies and interests and encourages them to grow.
A trip
Make an AirBnB reservation and take your loved one on a trip. It doesn't have to be a flight to the Caribbean (although I'm sure no one would complain). You could drive to the nearest city and spend a night on the town, or fly somewhere you've always wanted to go. (For any who are keeping track, I'd graciously accept a trip out to Colorado anytime.) It can be as big of a trip as you want. Take an old friend to dinner in the nearby city or take your longterm partner to the other side of the world! Traveling is a gift in itself, no matter how far you go.
Make them something (small)
Yes, they love you, but your minimalist probably doesn't want the the life-sized bust of a fox that you made in sculpture class. Keep it small. If you are crafty, small items like earrings, personalized artwork and other such trinkets are a great idea. If you aren't crafty, no one sneers at something delicious and homemade. Maybe it's a pie. Maybe it is some homemade vanilla extract. Maybe it's a beeswax candle. You are creative. Go make something.
Minimalist gifts can be more fun and more meaningful. Even if your loved one isn't a minimalist, per se, separating the idea of gift giving from consumerist culture is a good thing. Think outside the big box store. Gift ideas, love and experiences this holiday season.

Turbulent heat fluxes by profile and inertial dissipation methods: analysis of the atmospheric surface layer from shipboard measurements during the SOFIA/ASTEX and SEMAPHORE experiments
Abstract. Heat flux estimates obtained using the inertial dissipation method, and the profile method applied to radiosonde soundings, are assessed with emphasis on the parameterization of the roughness lengths for temperature and specific humidity. Results from the inertial dissipation method show a decrease of the temperature and humidity roughness lengths for increasing neutral wind speed, in agreement with previous studies. The sensible heat flux estimates were obtained using the temperature estimated from the speed of sound determined by a sonic anemometer. This method seems very attractive for estimating heat fluxes over the ocean. However allowance must be made in the inertial dissipation method for non-neutral stratification. The SOFIA/ASTEX and SEMAPHORE results show that, in unstable stratification, a term due to the transport terms in the turbulent kinetic energy budget, has to be included in order to determine the friction velocity with better accuracy. Using the profile method with radiosonde data, the roughness length values showed large scatter. A reliable estimate of the temperature roughness length could not be obtained. The humidity roughness length values were compatible with those found using the inertial dissipation method.

Head of Aungier House, John McCoy
The commencement of Term 3 saw the return of the students and staff involved in the various Immersions which Waverley College offers students. Aungier members Leo Astridge, Conor Carr, Darcy Ferguson, Baxter Seinor, Peter Stamatelatos and Tobias Unsworth attended the Red Earth Immersion, while Ryan von der Heyden, Jack Fingleton and Charlie Jaeger attended the Timor-Leste Immersion. It was fantastic to hear such incredible experiences and lifelong memories which, these students were able to share with their mates in Aungier House.
Aungier students really got behind the Beanies of Brain Cancer Initiative at the start of Term 3. This coincided with the NRL Beanies For Brain Cancer Round (July 25-28). Aungier members, led by Digger Callander and his family, raised extra funds by holding a special BBQ to support the Mark Hughes Foundation. Between the Waterford Campus, Our Senior Campus Campus and Queens Park, Waverley College managed to raise $9,800. This was part of the $3.1 million raised by the Mark Hughes Foundation in fighting against Brain Cancer. A tremendous achievement by all involved.
The academic success stories from Semester One were recognised at the College Academic Assembly. Pleasingly, a number of Aungier students were called to the stage to receive accolades for their commitment to study. This included:
Year 7
Jock Edwards, Simon Frias, Joel Hammerschmidt, Mitchel Ho, Kieran Markwick, Zane Wixstrom, Ricardo Zanapalis
Year 8
Jack Crotty, Jesse Gordon, Luca Holmes, Riley Hassey
Year 9
Toby Davidson, Guy Hammerschmidt, Achilles Zanapalis
Year 10
Darcy Widdowson
Year 11
Jake Burns, Lachlan Miller, Zac Wotherspoon
Year 12
Thomas Jaeger, Til Kathriner, Max Markert, Benjamin Rogers, Peter Tsoukalas
Term 3 marked the conclusion of the Winter Co-Curricular season. A number of Aungier students were rewarded for effort on and off the sporting field. This included:
Luke Newrick – Rugby Prep 2nds Best Back
James Kopsiaftis – Rugby Prep Sevens Most Improved Forward
Louis Aguis – Football Prep 4ths Most Improved Defensive Player
Ben Pignatelli – AFL A Best Attacking Player
Julian Minto – Rugby 10A Best Back
William Anstis – Rugby 10A Most Improved Back
Ben Adams – Football 11Bs Most Improved Player
Cavell Frampton – Football 11Fs Most Attacking Player
Olle WixstromFootball 11Fs Best Defensive Player
Oliver Aboud – Best & Fairest in the 13A Rugby team
Edward Regan – Year 9 Tennis Champion Award
Luke Mazza – 1st XI Football Best Team Man Award
Ricardo Zanapalis – Best & Fairest in the 7A Football
Aiden Rogers – Most Improved Theatrical Lead Performance
Saia Afeaki – Junior Pararoos
Ronald Volkman – NSW U18 Rugby Representative
The Aungier House representatives at Waterford did Aungier proud at both the Blitz Day and the Walkathon which were both held in Term 3. The Aungier/Lacey teams put in a strong effort on Blitz Day in both Rugby and Football. Special thanks to our Aungier Mentors at Waterford in Ms Charlotte Stephens and Mr Anthony Stanton who provide strong guidance to our youngest members.
The Arts & Design Exhibition held during Week 5 was a wonderful opportunity for students to showcase their work to the school community. Congratulations to Aungier student, Jet Marsh-Cashman, who received the 2019 Waverley Youth Art Prize for, 'Best Interpretation of a Theme'.
In Week 7, our Year 9 students set off to camp at the Somerset Outdoor Learning Centre based at the Colo River (North-West Sydney). While this was a challenging activity for many students, it provided a great opportunity for boys to step into a different learning space while connecting with staff and peers. This year, students from Aungier were grouped together to assist in building a brotherhood.
Week 7 also marked the Year 10 Dinner Dance. This was a chance for students to let their hair down and dine with friends and partners in their first formal dining experience. Despite the strong wind on the night, students enjoyed themselves as they cruised around Sydney Harbour. Aungier student James Elfes really did his House proud as one of the best dressed on the night!
As well as having their first formal dining experience, a group of students in Year 10 enjoyed their first taste of life in the workforce. Boys involved in Year 10 Work Education had the opportunity of taking on work experience for a period of one week. Saia Afeaki and Daniel Davis, both Aungier students, walked away from this week with a greater understanding of life at work as well as with a new network of potential employers.
Our Year 11 students completed an important period of assessment at the conclusion of Term 3, as they sat the Preliminary HSC examinations. These exams are crucial as they provide students with an idea of what they should expect moving forward into the HSC courses in Year 12.
The CAS Track & Field Championships were held in Week 9. Waverley College managed to improve to finish in 5th position led by Aungier's own, Thomas Jaeger, who captained the team. There were plenty of success stories for the Blue and Gold throughout the night. The Zanapalis brothers (Ricardo and Alejandro) put in excellent performances on the night.
The conclusion of Term 3 marked the Graduation Mass and Ceremony for students in Year 12. Aungier House provided a special send off to our most senior students at an entertaining final House Assembly. Each Year 12 student was presented to their House by their Mentors. Many smiles and laughs were shared as we reflected on some interesting memorable moments and advice to younger members of Aungier. We wish the following Aungier Graduates the very best of luck in the HSC examinations and beyond:
Aiden Chew, Gabriel Cuenca, Dylan Davis, Cameron Dawson, Billy Elmes, Oliver Ferguson, Lachlan Forrest, Matthew Gallagher, Eamonn Hassey, Dion Hatziandreou, James Hession, Lathan Hutchinson-Walters, Hugo Ilencik, Thomas Jaeger, Ryan Jones, Til Kathriner, Will Kearney, Max Markert, Luke Mazza, Marco Moretti, Ridley Owens, Connor Phibbs, Benjamin Rogers, Peter Tsoukalas, Luca Winch
Term 3 was a time Aungier House said farewell to some long-serving Mentors and Staff Members at Waverley College. We thank both Mr Frank Mastroianni and Mr George Christodoulou for their dedication and commitment to supporting students in Aungier, particularly in their respective Mentor Groups.
I would like to congratulate all students in Aungier for the continued positive efforts in Term 3. I would like to thank the Aungier Wellbeing Mentors for their fine work in supporting our students.
Have a safe and restful break.
