After years of serving various smartphone makers with Android platforms, Google has officially joined the game after launching its very own phone, Pixel and Pixel XL on Wednesday, October 5.
"We've now decided to take the next step and provide our take on the best Google experience, by bringing hardware and software design together under one roof," Brian Rakowski, vice president for product management said in a statement.
The Pixel comes in a no better time—what with the explosive (pun intended) launch of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in July, which was meant to challenge Apple's iPhone 7, introduced in September.
Design-wise, the Pixel is at par with the two smartphone giants with 5-inch and 5.5-inch screens available for Pixel and Pixel XL, respectively. But it definitely leads the pack in terms of resolution as it boasts itself as VR-friendly, with 1920 x 1080 display for Pixel and 2560 x 1440.
Its metal finish comes in three colors: Quite Black, Very Silver, or Really Blue.
While with the battle of cameras, Google claims to have the best with its 12.3 megapixel lens; however, it lacks the dual lens capacity of iPhone 7.
Where they are similar though is with the fingerprint sensor, but Pixel's is strategically located at the back while Apple's has always been in front.
A game-changer for some is battery life which Google addresses with a quick-charging feature. Pixel can be charged for as quickly as 15 minutes—enough to power through for seven hours. On paper, both of its models feature 2770mAH and 3450mAh capacities. Technically, the Note 7 still has greater power which has 3,500mAh.
But not to be forgotten is its VR-friendliness, as it also launched on the same day its new VR gear, Daydream. A cheaper alternative to what's widely available in the market, Google's VR device is made of cloth, "30 percent lighter" than what most brands offer.
Where it fell through though is in becoming water resistant, as both smartphone giants already have the feature as a plus for their models. Also worth noting that as compared to other Android phones, the Pixel does not have an SD card port and features built-in memory capacity like the iPhone.
All-around Google
Still, the star of Pixel isn't hardware but its newly-launched Android OS called "Nougat," which will feature all of Google's new programs. There's GoogleDuo, a video-calling app similar to Apple's Facetime. All photos taken with Pixel are also automatically downloaded to Google Drive at full resolution, serving like Apple's Cloud but probably, with more flexibility.
At the center of all this is Google Assistant, probably a smarter version of Apple's Siri with an AI that has the whole Google search engine as its arsenal. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a conference in May that the software will soon be available in more devices so it can be more flexibly used at home, work or in the car.
Are we entering a new era? Only the market can answer for sure who is set to get their hands on the devices by October 19. Prices for Pixel start at US$ 649 while Pixel XL retails at US$ 769.

QPR boss Ramsey was part of Sherwood's management team at White Hart Lane last season after spending years working with the club's youngsters.
And he will attempt to ensure Kane does not deepen Rangers' relegation woes when Spurs visit Loftus Road on Saturday.
But he claims the in-form striker – now touted for an England call-up – is reaping the benefit from the massive vote he received during the second half of last season and was picked ahead of big money signings like Roberto Soldado.
Ramsey said: "Harry's not surprised me. We played him towards the end of the season last year and the fans weren't having him.
"They were trying to get the galacticos on the pitch. We stuck to our guns and got a lot of flak for it."
And the Rangers manager added: "Clubs have to stick their necks out to get English players playing in the Premier League, and getting them judged in the same way as players who cost a lot of money and don't produce.
"You can never bank on a player scoring as many times as Harry has, but his level of focus and success hasn't surprised me."
Ramsey's side desperately need a win after the midweek defeat to Arsenal that left them three points adrift of safety.
The manager added: "I said before, if you get 37 to 40 points, you'll stay up. Time is running out for us, so we know we have to start winning soon. Three points is our next target."

Your Quality Folding Bike Specialist
(212) 529-7247
(212) 529-7247
They say...
We pride ourselves building a trusted relationship with our customers. They say...
Dear David, I can't tell you how grateful I am for your advice and counsel and good humor and know-how and great spirit this afternoon in your shop. I am so happy that I decided to try one more shop before buying, and the money I saved by following your advice is not the least of it. The Brompton is a major spurge for me, but the comfort I have knowing that I have received great advice, and knowing that you are there if I have any problems or questions, made the whole thing a lot easier.I was home in Washington Heights in no time, and made it up the steepest hills without ever switching out of high gear. The only people who passed me were the people who would pass me on the Trek 5200 I rent once or twice a year when I go on a century ride. I am going to be riding the bike all over town.Jim Goodman, NYC
From the moment I inquired about the Brompton bicycle, David at B-Fold gave new meaning to the words customer service. I had a very negative e-commerce experience recently, and David went out of his way to make me feel comfortable about the transaction. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the bicycles, and he spent much time imparting some of that knowledge to me. Of course, the quality of the Brompton is extraordinary, but the quick and attentive service made B-Fold stand head and shoulders above the rest of the Brompton dealers. I had requested many special features on my bike, including a custom paint job, and David placed the order with Brompton in England; I received it in two weeks' time. I recommend B-Fold without reservation!Kathryn Yung Portland, ME
Although the shop might not look too flashy, I was very pleased with the professional service, the advice and the well stocked inventory of Brompton available. I was also very please with the fact that David could replace the tires, set up some lightings (not Brompton brand but even better), provide me with the front bag and accessories I needed. I tested my new bike in NYC for a couple of days. The rides were great. It is something else to discover this fabulous city with a bike. The Brompton (L type) is really pleasant to ride and amazing how easy it is to fold and carry in public transportation or in the trunk of a car. The six speeds are really sufficient for NYC or Brussels. My home is in Belgium and (of course) I wanted to take my Brompton back with me. I was flying Delta and it is very convenient because you limited to two pieces of luggage. My Brompton was in a cardboard box nicely tied with a rope (Thanks for the box and rope David!). If you plan to travel by plane, I suggest not to mention that it is a bike since it might cost you an extra amount (90$ on Delta). But since folded it is rather the size of a suitcase, I do not see why they would think that it is a bike. Concerning customs in Belgium, I did not import the bicycle to resell it but to use it. So I had already used it in NY and it was not totally clean anymore. I did not have any trouble at customs, but if I did, I would have argued that the bike was not new. So, in conclusion: Vive le vélo !Mathieu, Belgium
Dear David, I am so pleased with the Brompton you sold me. It's beautiful and super fun to ride - I love it! I am just as pleased, however, with your service - before, during, and after the sale. You are so quick and thorough in answering my questions - even to the point of including pictures to illustrate your answers to my questions. Wow! And, the T6 got here so quickly; you shipped same day. Double Wow! You are the best, David. I am already recommending you to my biking friends. Next up? A pink Brompton T6. :) Best regards,Elisa Boston, MA
Dear David, Just a quick note to let you know that the Brompton that you sent off before heading to Japan arrived this morning! The instructions that you emailed were very clear and I had it unfolded and on the road in a couple of minutes. Thanks again! I really appreciated your advice and the fast, friendly service. It was a pleasure doing business with you. I will certainly recommend Bfold to all my friends and colleagues.
Best wishes,
Graeme Tucson, AZ
Having surfed online for too many hours in search of the ideal price/performance ratio for a folding bike, David simplified my selection process as only a truly good owner/operator can: he offered unvarnished opinions on his stock based on his own riding experience. Rather than seduce me with component brands and tech specs, David simply drew a chart to show which bikes handled best and which bikes were most portable. As a non bike rider for more years than I can remember, I felt that I could trust David's honest advice. Based on his suggestions, I happily urchased an entry level Bike Friday, and rode it on and off road for eight weeks for over 300 miles. I didn't get a flat until my last week! Thank you avid–You saved me from a Dahon and my pocketbook from a Moulton.Kabir, NYC
David, I received my bike yesterday afternoon, just in time to ride home. It is like a new bike! Thank you so much for spending extra time and care on the overhaul. My five year old B is as good as new. I am thrilled to have finally found a Brompton specialist! Your adjustment of the derailleur and brakes is perfect, much much better than what I had managed to do. THANKS AGAIN, and I look forward to meeting you in late December,Peter, Charleston, SC
Quite honestly, most bike shops are clueless when it comes to fixing bikes, especially folders, and particularly Bromptons. I made the mistake of buying my Brompy at a competitor because I had a crush on one of the sales girls. I didn't get the girl, but I got problems stemming from indifference and incompetence that I never would have gotten had I bought the bike from David Lam. For example, two blocks away from the shop, and a minute after buying the bike, I got a flat. I rolled on back to the store, and they charged me for another set of tires and labor, suggesting that I should have chosen kevlar belted ones in the first place, a choice they'd never recommended. The tires that come as original equipment were not designed for the steeplechase of NYC streets. David gets that, and after-markets his Bromptons to make them NYC capable. I also broke rear spokes within three months of buying my bike. I took it back to the original shop. The first thing the mechanic said: "sorry, you'll have to buy a new wheel, that one's shot." I told him to replace the broken spokes. He did, and within weeks they began breaking again. Finally, I went to David, who fixed the problem with better spokes, correctly tuned, and with tiny gaskets at the hook ends. I haven't broken a spoke since, and that was over a year ago. Finally, I would have liked to get tips when I bought the bike. A Brompton is a big investment, and one would expect, at least, a bon voyage. I've seen David work with customers, including those I've sent to him. He spends a LOT of time with buyers, teaching them about their new machine.

Seeing things for a different point of view can lead to giant leaps in creativity.
Allow me to set the stage… the chef and his crew were looking for some serendipity in the winter test kitchen. The test kitchen gives his culinary team the means to explore new ideas, be creative, – to innovate. Sometimes a new idea will spring from an unexpected place. The theme for this session was seafood and he had just filleted a handsome flounder. Getting ready to discard the carcass, he looked at it and in that moment serendipity struck. As chef held the flounder the proverbial flash of light occurred. He saw that with a little more thought and a bit of experimentation this carcass could take shape and once again hold fish.
What could be made from this seemingly spent fish?
Gathering his staff he proceeded to flesh out his idea. He thoroughly cleaned, seasoned, dredged and trussed the flounder head to tail with butcher's twine. He dropped it into the fryer where it took shape and became the basket he'd envisioned it to be. Never thinking the carcass could be used let alone eaten, his staff was delighted to find out you can have your fish and eat it too.
Chef filled it with lobster claw meat, diver scallops and colossal prawns. The effect was stunning. It turned into a beautiful basket for making even a simple seafood dish something spectacular. They had never seen anything like it much less conceived it. Many a poor flounder's fate was sealed.
So, a shake of this, a sprinkle of that and a quick dip in the fryer and this carcass has legs! This was certainly the case with the Gone Fish'n Flounder Basket, which sprang from simply looking at a flounder with a different eye.
Choosing to take a step back and allowing yourself to see things from a different perspective is a superb way to find your muse and get on the path to newfound creativity.

Take away the glamour and the garbage, and cities reduce to systems, complex physical systems. Or at least that's how astrophysicist and NPR blogger Adam Frank sees it.
Adam, hi.
ADAM FRANK: Hi, it's great to be here.
BLOCK: And let's explain that you are out on the street today in Rochester, New York. You're a professor at the University of Rochester. And you're going to give us a street-level view of the city as a physics lab. What do you mean?
FRANK: Well, essentially, I grew up in metropolitan New York, that urban jungle there. And I was learning physics pretty much at the same time I was falling in love with the city. And the beautiful thing was I was able to use the city as my physics laboratory. Because everywhere you walk in a city, you see examples of physics. All of these straight lines and right angles are an example of the way cities were designed on purpose to take advantage of sort of abstracted physics.
So, you know, as I was walking around watching steam come out of a grate, I was learning about the thermodynamics of gases. Or watching traffic flow, I was learning about traffic as a fluid system. So really, in many ways, I found the city to be the best physics laboratory I could imagine.
BLOCK: And tell me, as you stand there in Rochester right now and you look around, what are you seeing that says to you, aha, this is a grand physics experiment right in front of my eyes?
FRANK: I'm actually standing right now at a corner and I'm watching traffic flow. And one of the best places to see the theater of forces and energy - which is, if you're a physicist, that's what you're interested in - to see them applied is through traffic. Now, if you're in a car, you never really get a chance to feel the force and energy 'cause you're not expending it. You step on the gas, you go. Who cares?
But if you're on a bike, you see why bicyclists don't want to stop often. It's because if you have - if it's your muscles that are going to go into getting yourself started again, which is essentially the physics of it, you see why on a bicycle - if you come to a red light, it's easy for a car to stop and start again. But for a bicyclist, it's their force and their energy that has to get you going.
BLOCK: So that bike in motion wants to remain in motion.
FRANK: Right. Newton's First Law, one of the best examples of physics in a city that you can see is Newton's First Law of Motion.
BLOCK: Adam, look at that intersection where you are right now and tell me if you're seeing other laws of physics that are coming to bear in traffic.
FRANK: So, I'm looking at a red light and a bunch of cars all stacked up right now. And what's going to happen is when the light turns green, the cars are going to get going. But they all don't get started at once. First, the first row of cars starts moving and then the second row of cars behind them can get moving. And then the third row of cars can get moving.
So, what's actually happening is there's a wave which is moving backwards, a wave of rarefaction or cars spreading out. The cars moving forward is the wave actually that moves backward.
And that same kind of physics is exactly what happens in an exploding star, for example, the same kinds of fluid motion of what physicists call a rarefaction wave occurs both in traffic when the traffic is beginning to accelerate as occurs in an exploding star when the star - the gas in the star is blown outwards.
BLOCK: So you're looking at the traffic in front of you and you're not seeing, you know, Nissans and Hondas. You're seeing exploding stars on some level?
FRANK: I do, actually. That is - and when I see it, I'll get so excited because it's like, oh, my God, there's an example of a rarefaction wave.
BLOCK: Adam, we've been talking about Isaac Newton and, of course, Newton had a lot of things to say about gravity. How does a city help us see the forces of gravity at work, besides everywhere?
FRANK: Right. The best place to see what Newton was telling us and, actually, even to go beyond it is elevators, because gravity and elevators really go together beautifully. So I'm now in front of a very tall building here and we're going to walk inside and go over to the elevator.
So, when the elevator starts, you feel your legs buckle a little bit as the elevator is rising. And when the elevator comes to your floor, you feel a little bit light as the elevator decelerates. Now, the beautiful thing about that is that is exactly where Einstein started in thinking about gravity. When he went beyond Newton, he was doing all of these thought experiments about what happens in an elevator as you accelerate and decelerate.
So, when I was a foot messenger in New York City - I had a job doing that for a year or so - I used to carry a little red ball with me and I would try and catch that moment. I'd throw the ball up in the air and I'd try and catch the moment when the elevator either accelerated or decelerated and then you could see the ball in space. It would either slow down as it rose or speed up or, sometimes, right in mid-motion, it would hang there for a second.
And I would get so excited because there I was reading the same physics, the Newtonian physics and the Einstein physics, I was seeing it real - the stuff that I had just been reading beforehand. And, of course, the people in the elevator all thought I was a little crazy, but I didn't mind.
BLOCK: They might have just been waiting to see when you were going to start juggling.
FRANK: Right. If I'd only had a few more balls and some more talent, then maybe I might have been able to do that and fund my graduate work, too.
BLOCK: Well, Adam, it's been fun. Thanks for the lesson in the city as physics lab. Appreciate it.
FRANK: Oh, it's been a great pleasure. Thank you.
BLOCK: That's University of Rochester astrophysicist, Adam Frank. He writes for NPR's Cosmos and Culture blog. And, next time, he'll bring us a rooftop view of the city. You can follow the Cities Project on Twitter @NPR Cities.
And next Tuesday, the Cities Project returns with a story about what's worth preserving in our older neighborhoods. Also on Tuesday, we'll be asking a group of urban thinkers for their ideas about the issues we have been covering. They'll be posting their thoughts on Twitter. You can subscribe to the NPR Cities roundtable. It's a list on our Twitter account and you can join the conversation. All tweets will be tagged #NPR Cities. That's next Tuesday, 6 p.m. Eastern time, 3 p.m. Pacific.

Nationals of 80 countries can enter Qatar visa-free, with immediate effect, announced Qatari officials on 9 August. Countries eligible for this include India, the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, Seychelles, New Zealand and South Africa.
Citizens of these countries when wanting to visit Qatar need to apply for a visa or pay for it. Henceforth, they will be issued a monthly-waiver free-of-charge at the port of entry after they present a valid passport with validity at least six months and a confirmed onward/ return ticket.
The waiver will depend on the nationality of the traveller entering the State of Qatar. Citizens of some countries will have a waiver validity of 180 days, allowing them to spend a maximum of 90 days cumulatively, while others would be given a waiver of 90 days, out of which they can spend a total of 30 days. Both are multiple-entry waivers.
Hassan Al Ibrahim, Acting Chairman of Qatar Tourism Authority, was quoted by Reuters as saying that with nationals of 80 countries being eligible for a visa waiver on entry into Qatar, the county is the most open now in the Middle East and added that they were happy to welcome to avail their hospitality, natural treasures and cultural heritage.
Earlier in November 2016, free transit visa was introduced by Qatar, allowing visitors of all countries transiting via Doha international airport for a minimum of five hours to stay in the country for up to four days.
If you are looking to travel to Qatar, get in touch with Y-Axis, a highly renowned consultancy for immigration services, to know more.

Teen Suing School District Over Facebook Photo Used Without Permission [VIDEO]
Atlanta-area teen, Chelsea Chaney, is suing her former school district for using a Facebook photo of her in a bikini as part of a student seminar on the importance of exercising caution when uploading photos to the web. According to Chaney, the photo on her Facebook page was taken, without her permission, and used by the Fayette County Schools Director of Technology in a district-wide Internet safety seminar to illustrate the precept, "once it's there, it's there to stay." Chaney's lawyer also added the school then used the photo out of context to suggest that Chelsea is a promiscuous, abuser of alcohol. Chaney is asking for $2 million because she wants her claim to be taken seriously.

P008 Common and different inflammatory features in inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer
Lo Presti E.*1, Di Mitri R.2, Dieli F.1, Mocciaro F.2, Cilluffo M.G.3, Pecoraro G.M.4, Russo G.2, Meraviglia S.1
1University of Palermo, Department of Biopathology and Medical Biotechnologies (DIBIMED), University of Palermo; (CLADIBIOR), Palermo, Italy 2ARNAS Civico-Di Cristina-Benfratelli Hospital, Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Unit, Palermo, Italy 3A.O.U. Policlinico "G. Giaccone", Gastroenterology and Hepatology Unit, Palermo, Italy 4Cattinara Hospital, Department of Gastroenterolgy, Trieste, Italy
The etiology of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is complex and still, for the most part, obscure. Although the adaptive immune response has classically been considered to play a major role in the pathogenesis, there are evidence for involvement of tissue resident cells such as ILC, T gamma-delta and MAIT cells. The inflammatory response also plays an important role in CRC development. Since inflammation-associated tumorigenesis can rely on the interaction of pathogens and inflammatory cells, triggering the release of inflammatory cytokines and recruitment of other pro inflammatory cells, in this study we wanted to understand how in IBD treated patients, innate immune response can drive toward tumor evolution.
The identification of tissue resident immune cells was performed by flow cytometry after isolation and digestion of fresh intestinal biopsies, evaluating the frequency and the effector functions of ILC1, ILC3, MAIT and gamma-delta T cells. We analyzed a total of 52 samples: IBD at onset (n=12), IBD after therapy with Infliximab and Adalinumab (n=13), CRC (n=21), and healthy donors (n=6).
IFN gamma-producing ILC1 accumulated in IBD patients at onset, after treatment and in CRC. As expected TNF alpha-producing ILC1 were more abundant in IBD at onset and CRC. ILC3 producing IL17 but not IL22 accumulated in treated IBD patients and CRC but not in IBD at onset. Gamma-delta T cells with a predominantly effector phenotype were increased in IBD and in CRC. In particular, in CRC patients both gamma-delta T cells subsets were present, while in IBD patients the Vdelta1 subpopulation was more represented at onset but the Vdelta2 subset in treated patients. IL17 producing Vdelta1 cells accumulated in CRC but not in both IBD groups. Finally, MAIT cells were more represented in both groups of IBD than in CRC.
Our results, albeit preliminary, suggest that the innate immune system participates to gut inflammation and colorectal cancer, suggesting the intriguing possibility that certain inflammatory responses can be common to both pathologies and contribute to the development of chronic inflammation associated cancer.

(Website) Size Matters
I find that people think of websites as one-size-only... LARGE.
It scares people out of getting started. Today, I want to debunk that myth.
Websites come in all sizes and prices. Compare a domain "website coming soon" parking page to Wikipedia.com or Amazon.com. Get the picture? One costs ~$20... the others $2+ million!
As you read about website sizes and look at the examples, I'm going to challenge you to think about what would serve you best. The website sizes are...
Small: Online Business Card (The Present)
Medium: Current Campaign or Calendar (Present + Near Future)
Large: Full Portfolio or Museum (Past, Present + Future)
X-Large: Full Museum, Publishing House and/or Store (Past, Present, Future + Sales)
Let's break them down a bit...
I start all clients with a small website. Sometimes called a landing, cover or splash page... the idea is to put up something today that serves you for tomorrow.
Think of it like an online business card that's equally smart and sexy. In reality, this may be all that you need for a little while...
More examples here.
This is when things get a little nebulous... you're not quite large, but not quite small, right?!
Instead of a small website (basically saying "here's who I am") or a large website (sometimes saying "here's who I am with everything I've ever done"), a medium website is more future focused.
A medium website is perhaps not as precious. It's confidently saying "you know who I am and here's what's happening for the next few months." This is a relatively new website strategy that I hope will inspire you today!
The best example for this is actually KanyeWest.com. Kanye opens with a video, then a link to buy tickets for all of his upcoming shows, and ends with the opportunity to subscribe for email updates.
I like this concept because...
it forces you to update your website at least every 3-6 months
it keeps things "clean" and "not overwhelming"
it should help grow your audience (email subscribers and/or social following)
it forces you to confidently own the phrase "I am enough"—because you're not trying to prove anything!
Keep in mind that people can still go to Wikipedia, IMDb, IBDb, BroadwayWorld, YouTube, etcetera to learn more about you! For most personal brands, you'll likely want to send subscribers to your social media versus email marketing—you can read my thoughts about both here.
I call this building your dream home. This is what Maggie, Jonathan, Eric and I have built the most of.
A large website highlights the past, showcases the present and positions you for the future. I also call these the "dream home" because it should be the vehicle to help you manifest your goals.
The size difference here is dependent on content—your portfolio or archives.
I'll often refer to Meryl Streep. If she had a website... would she show everything she's ever done and every photo she's ever had taken?
Alternatively, would she choose a curated selection of career highlights? I think you know the answer! ;)
The only difference between a large and extra-large website is the amount of content—whether we're talking about photos, news, reviews, etcetera.
When you add e-commerce... it also ups the ante. Here are some client examples... but also think about Amazon, Wikipedia or The New York Times as other extra-extra-large examples!
Regardless of who you are or where you're at in your career, a website allows you to control your Google results and reputation 24/7 and around the world. Once someone researches you and/or discovers your website, it's about creating results—whether that's an email message, subscription, sale or merely a lasting impression.

The paintings on display in Eclectic Compilation show the variety that can be achieved with the diverse talents of a group such as the Napier Arts Club.
There is a never ending interest from members of the public wanting to join and try their hand and develop a skill some didn't even know they had, and all are made welcome.
Napier Arts Club is situated at 122 Vigor Brown St, Napier South, Napier.

Sometimes the best defense is diversified
Simon Everett has been supporting kglobal, a DC-based communications firm, on an innovative grant program aimed at helping defense firms diversify in anticipation of declining defense spending. Two of South Carolina's jobs agencies – the Department of Employment and Workforce and the Department of Commerce – are sponsoring an initiative to offer business consulting services to companies that will be negatively impacted by Department of Defense budget cuts.
kglobal (a Zenetex company) and Simon Everett have teamed to help these firms by conducting internal business assessments, identifying adjacent markets for targeted business development, and crafting strategic messaging initiatives to reach multiple stakeholder audiences. Our tailored suite of consulting services is helping SC-based defense firms to better understand and manage internal and external factors affecting the success of their approaches to new markets. As a result, South Carolina will improve its economic resilience and the defense sector will retain key capabilities and expertise for future needs.
We look forward to continuing our strategic partnership with kglobal and supporting additional SC firms in their diversification pursuits. To that end, South Carolina is still accepting grant applications. If your business operates in South Carolina and is interested in reaching new markets, just take two easy steps: 1) send us an email at email@example.com, and 2) download the Defense Industry Adjustment Application from Commerce's website to see if your company qualifies.

Dr. Choi and her staff are incredible. She explains everything thoroughly. Goes through every single option, not just what your insurance will cover. I felt she really took her time and made sure all of my work was done perfectly. I had quite a bit of work done. Everything looks amazing! She was incredibly compassionate and worked with me on payments. Everyone I've dealt with in the office is awesome. Really glad I ended up walking in this place by chance. I'd been to two other dentists. One did horrible work and both told me they couldn't take my wisdom teeth out and referred me to a place in Chicago with insane wait times for appointments. This place is awesome with setting timely appointments and courtesy reminders. I took my children to dental dreams and felt they were drilling and filling my children's teeth unnecessarily. I now take my children here also. Very good care here.read more

I stumbled upon Midwest Family Dental when I had an appointment at the vision center next door. I wish I had found MFD before! Dr. Zach & all of the staff there are awesome! I've never had an issue with any of them. The care I receive on each visit is the best I've ever had with a dentist. Dr. Zach is very thorough. He is honestly the best dentist I've ever had. Everything is explained, any questions answered & he apologizes while he's working when he is doing anything he thinks may be causing discomfort. He is great with whatever assistant he has at the time always saying "please & thank you." The staff greet me by name every time I walk in even before I make it the few steps to the desk to check in. They perform a vast number of dental procedures at MFD. (I wish I didn't have to go somewhere else for what I need next). I will use them any time I can (or need to). The way they treat me so kind is the way all places should be! I will always recommend them to anyone I know (or come in contact with) that asks me about a good dental office. Seriously, MFD is the absolute best in my opinion!read more

documenting my first pair of sock booties.
after some wear i have decided that sock booties are the perfect WORK bootie! something a little dressier than your average flat bootie and the chunky/block heel makes it a comfy pick for an 8 to 5 workday. while the shaft on these aren't as tall as normal sock booties it works for me because i'm 5'2" short and anything taller would make me look shorter (if that makes sense).i love making workwear a little more trendy, so when i saw this suede skirt, i had to snag it for obvious reasons -- the length is so work appropriate. and hey doesn't hurt that it's in a beautiful olive color too!
also, fitted mock turtlenecks are my staple in the fall/winter because they go with ALL skirts & are SO EASY PEASY. they're so good i have probably four plain black ones! it's a pretty solid base layering piece and goes underneath sheath dresses too! speaking of work, i've been wearing this pebbled leather satchel as a work bag, it's a little different from my other structured work bags because it's made of slouchy pebbled leather and although the handles don't fall down, there's plenty of space & pockets. i've grown to love the pebbled leather slouchy-ness.
side ramblings: it feels good to be back. i haven't shot much at all but now that it's getting cooler, IT IS ON. my holiday photos will be up on Monday, be sure to stop by! xx

About a week before the G7 summit, the owner of Benjamin Bridge Winery learned one of his sparkling wines would be served to seven of the world's leaders.
But while President Emmanuel Macron of France was tasting a Nova Scotia sparkling wine in Charlevoix, Que., Gerry McConnell's vineyards suffered through one of the worst frosts he's ever seen, which made it a bittersweet weekend.
"It's really unheard of to have these cold temperatures at this time of the year," McConnell said.
He is still assessing the damage, but he says the Winery Association of Nova Scotia is holding an emergency meeting to try and get a sense of how wineries have been affected.
He says they want to develop a plan and also consider whether they should approach government for assistance because of the unusual severity of the frost.
Pete Luckett, the owner of Luckett Vineyards, called it a "helter skelter of crazy weather conditions" and added his vineyard is in "pretty tough shape."
He says the frost has caused a "major loss" of grapes for wine making this season. There might even be some losses for next year and he says he's looking for "clarity" from government.
"We have questions to ask this year," Luckett said. "Are we able to bring in other grapes from out of province to make our wine? That's the answer we need."
But, as vineyards wait for those answers, they need something else – sunshine – and they got some Tuesday.
"Today is a Cracker Jack day," Luckett said. "This is the first day we've had some lovely sunshine. We need more of that!"
It's not just the vineyards. The Wild Blueberry Association of Nova Scotia is so concerned about field damage, growers have had surveyors checking the fields for the last week. They were holding a board meeting Tuesday night to hear the results of those surveys.

My Non-Stereotypical Weekend in Miami (First Vlog!)
Anytime I tell people that I am heading down to Miami for the weekend, they immediately assume I'm going to be dancing salsa in Mango's on Ocean Drive. Which, by the way, it totally fine if that's your scene but it's not mine anymore. I love to go out and dance but now I try to avoid tourist traps. This time around I kept it chill and loved it. I came back refreshed and didn't feel like I needed a day to recover from being away.
I stayed with a good friend of mine, Annie, who is a Miami-based fashion blogger. You can check out on Instagram.
The only "stereotypical" thing we did while I was there was check out Wynwood, which has changed a lot since I was there in 2014. I love murals and can't stay away.
And, while I was there, we went to yoga class not just once, but twice. Then headed back home to rest and go out at night. Lots of chill bars with live rock music and craft beers. Not your typical Miami night and I couldn't have enjoyed it more.
And, we, of course, went to the beach. I even took a nap on the beach. So, yes, we were far away from noise, parties, and pretty much any chaos. We hung out in Coral Gables. And, I even carved out some time to check out the Pérez Art Museum Miami, also known as, PAMM.
More visuals in the vlog. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.

You kids better learn not to play so rough, somebodys gonna start crying.
Ah! well, sorry, I haven't seen this thread before. I will try and help tomorrow or the day after when I come home to my computer. But until then you might give some information about your system: OS, graphics card and the like. You also may want to update Blood. That COULD possibly solve your problems, but I'm absolutely not shure about that.
For patches, look here.

It's that time of the year when the mornings are crisp, the days are warmish if it's sunny, and the evenings are cool. Sweaters and hoodies are getting pulled out, and it's hard to get away with wearing shorts and a t-shirt all day. It makes for great weather for Heartland Break (AKA Tri-State):
It made for a perfect temperature for a campfire last night.
It made for a little bit chilly practice this morning, but the sun felt so good when it started warming up the air.
It makes for a great time to go out camping, shopping, or visiting home.
It also makes for a great time to get cozy with a book and a cup of coffee on campus. Or maybe at the fruited plain? Or perhaps take a walk to enjoy the prairie sunflowers--which we'll keep talking about until they're gone, because they're worth it--big grass plumes, and the beginning of fall colors on the trees.
Whatever you're doing, enjoy it! The weather is prime, and breaks are refreshing.

This birth story is a thank you letter, and a wish list. It's about my start as a new mother. I hesitated to share it, for it is about a most intimate kind of grief. But if there is only one mom out there, who finds some comfort in it, it was worth it.
Dear future moms, I'm sad to say this is not a very pretty tale. I have not the slightest wish to scare you. But looking back, there were things I wish I had known. That as a birthing mother, I had fundamental rights. The right to give my informed consent or to refuse possible interventions on the basis of information given. To take some time, to consider alternatives, to have dialogue.
I think there is much to be gained from discussing a mother's rights in childbirth, both for parents and professionals. We're in this together.
Whatever the choices you make, whatever kind of birth you may wish for yourself, however you end up having your baby/ies, may it be a timeless moment, that takes nothing away from you, but your breath.

With spring break just around the corner, many Hopkins students are looking forward to a week of fun and relaxation at home or traveling to a sunny location with friends. Others have chosen to spend their spring break here in Baltimore serving the community through JHU's Alternative Breaks Program.
This year, the Center for Social Concern (CSC) is offering two programs to teach students about important issues affecting Baltimore: food justice and community development. Eighteen Hopkins students have signed up to participate in the student-led programs and will spend the week immersing themselves in service.
Junior Ezinne Ogbonna and freshman Osiris Mancera will be leading the Community Development Program. Both Ogbonna and Mancera had previously participated in CSC initiatives, the Community Impact Internships Program (CIIP) and Pre-Orientation, respectively, and wanted to become more involved with service work and community outreach. They believe that learning about Baltimore is essential for students at Hopkins.
"I think that what a lot of people tend to forget, especially being here at Hopkins and being very focused on academics, is that [they] live in Baltimore," Mancera said. "This is one of the best cities to just get out there and learn so many different things."
Ogbonna echoed those sentiments and stressed the importance of knowing the people and problems that affect the Baltimore community.
"Since we're Hopkins students, it's important to have a stake in the general community, the city that we live in," she said.
Ogbonna and Mancera organized various activities for the Alternative Break program. For example, they will have workshops and screenings to educate students about the importance of community development. They also will volunteer with Habitat for Humanity; the soup kitchen known as Paul's Place; Second Chance, an organization that provides work and rehabilitation for former inmates; and various organizations in Washington, D.C. The purpose of these experiences is to introduce students to the topic and help them understand it in depth.
"We want to get participants thinking about how service and being part of a community isn't a one-time thing — it's something you can implement into your life," Mancera said.
Later in the week, the Community Development group will join forces with the Food Justice group to conduct the Modified Community Food Experience Simulation, in which they simulate what the process of buying food is like for people with difficult life circumstances, such as having an illness, low income or many family members to provide for. The purpose of the simulation is not only to demonstrate the complicated task of purchasing food for Baltimoreans, but also show students that the topics of community development and food justice are not mutually exclusive.
Sophomores Navya Ravoori and Anjie Ge will be leading the Food Justice program. Ravoori became interested in food justice after learning about the topic in her classes. She said that not many people understand what food justice is, and it is therefore important for students to learn about how the issue affects individuals and communities.
"Food justice is the right to access to healthy and affordable food," she said. "The big thing when you think about communities like Baltimore and other urban communities, is food deserts. A lot of the areas in Baltimore don't necessarily have supermarkets... with healthy and fresh food available."
Ravoori explained that since supermarkets are not always easily accessible, many Baltimoreans shop at corner stores and take-out places. However, sourcing the majority of one's food from those two places can lead to an array of health problems, such as Type II Diabetes, heart problems and other diseases. She also talked about the factors that contribute to the difficulties people have in accessing healthy food. Lack of reliable transportation, limited stocking space in stores and restricted financial resources all play a part in a person's ability to have the best choices in their food.
Ravoori talked about the activities that she and Ge have developed for the week. Students will volunteer at Real Food farms, Movable Feast, a company that makes and delivers food to people with chronic illnesses, specifically HIV/AIDs, and the Maryland Food Bank. There will also be exercises to prompt students to think about the realities that many Baltimoreans face when trying to find their next meal. Ravoori emphasized that the goal of alternative break program is not to attempt to solve a problem within one week, but rather to catalyze a commitment to service and to encourage students to become more involved in the long-term.
"I think the biggest [problem] we face at Hopkins is not that students don't want to get involved in the community, but they perceive limitations on how they can get involved," she said.
Assistant Director of the CSC Caroline Ouwerkerk emphasized that structure of the Alternative Breaks Program helps to foster more mindful and conscientious volunteers. She said that the Active Citizen Continuum, developed by national non-profit Break Away, is a key component to the CSC's philosophy of service. Students progress from members who are not concerned with their role in social problems, to volunteers who may be well-meaning, but are not well-educated about the issues, to conscientious citizens who are concerned with discovering underlying problems, to active citizens who believe the community is a priority in their lives. Ouwerkerk and the CSC work to teach students extensively about the social justice issues behind the service in order to help them understand the circumstances that create the problems. They also incorporate discussions and reflection into the Alternative Breaks program.
"If you go do service but don't ever process or talk about it, you might end up reinforcing negative stereotypes," she said. "You don't get the chance to make meaning from your lived experience, and that is a tremendous part of the learning process."
She explained that while the alternative breaks movement is present at many universities across the country, Hopkins stands out.
"The idea behind an alternative break is that it's an immersive experiential learning opportunity for a small group of students to focus on a particular social justice issue for a sustained, intense period of time," Ouwerkerk said. "Most other [universities] do alternative breaks differently than we do. They tend to send their students away from the location of the institution... Hopkins is unique because we do all of our trips in Baltimore city. It is a reflection of the Hopkins commitment to focus on the community of which we are a part."
