Many patients face their dental appointment with a degree of anxiety. Research has shown that the largest cause of this fear is the fear of pain ... the fear that at some time during their dental care treatment they are going to be hurt.
Sedation dentists have information available about a variety of drugs known as local anesthetics, which are the safest and most effective drugs in all of medicine. Local anesthetics are a resource used in anxiety-free dentistry for the prevention and management of dental anxiety resulting from dental and surgical procedures, not to put the patient to sleep.
Local anesthetics, commonly called Novocain by patients (Novocain is no longer used, having been replaced by newer, safer, and more effective drugs), are drugs which, when injected near a nerve, prevent stimulation from reaching the brain where it would be interpreted by a person as pain. Sedation dentists interested in practicing anxiety-free dentistry know these also work very well as temporary relief of a tooth ache.
The injectable local anesthetics, used today by sedation dentists provide complete relief about 100% of the time. The duration of the numbness varies from drug to drug -- some providing short durations, while others remain effective for up to 12 hours. A doctor will select a drug for a patient that is appropriate for the type of dental care procedure they are having done.
In order to be effective during dental treatment, local anesthetics usually need to be injected. For many people, this is the most uncomfortable part of the entire dental appointment.
Local anesthetics can be administered quite comfortably. Sedation dentists and dental hygienists take pride in their ability to administer local anesthesia easily and comfortably.
The following are some of the procedures sedation dentists practicing anxiety-free dentistry might use to make this procedure more comfortable:
If an individual is fearful of receiving a local anesthetic injection, they should tell the assistant or the sedation dentist BEFORE the procedure starts. The use of conscious sedation such as laughing gas, as part of anxiety-free dentistry, can work wonders to make this procedure more comfortable for the patient.
By Stanley F. Malamed, DDS
The most commonly employed technique used in conscious sedation dentistry is inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen (N20-02) or "laughing gas". It is estimated that approximately 35% of U.S. dentists use this technique to relieve dental anxiety.
The goal sought when laughing gas is used is to eliminate dental anxiety, making the patient more comfortable while the sedation dentist is able to more effectively complete the planned dental care procedure while the patient is sedated. Consult with your dentist to find out if this procedure right for you.
A small rubber inhaler will be placed over the patient's nose and adjusted so that the patient is comfortable. At this time, the patient will be breathing 100% oxygen.
Some patients at their first laughing gas visit will feel that they are not getting enough "air." The patient should tell the sedation dentist and he or she will provide them with even more oxygen to breathe.
Once the patient is comfortable breathing oxygen, the dentist gradually will introduce nitrous oxide. Over the next three to five minutes, the patient will be asked, "What are you feeling?" as the amount of nitrous oxide is slowly increased.
The signs and symptoms that most patients experience when receiving laughing gas include an initial feeling of lightheadedness, which gradually leads to an all-over feeling of warmth. Many persons mention a comfortable "vibrating" or "humming" sensation. It is common to feel one's fingertips and hands become "numb."
This same sensation may develop in the mouth - a benefit to the sedation dentist (and patient) during the dental care treatment. Some patients will mention that their arms and legs feel "very light." Interestingly, other patients will say that their arms and legs feel "so heavy I can't even move them."
If either of these occurs to the patient, it is perfectly normal. The individual might notice that they are perspiring a little, too. This is a normal effect of nitrous oxide and oxygen dentistry.
The sedation dentist will talk with the patient throughout the dental care procedure and the individual will be able to respond without any problem. This is a major advantage, and a safety feature, of conscious sedation using laughing gas.
If, at any time during the procedure, the patient feels that they are getting too much nitrous oxide or if they begin to feel uncomfortable, they should tell the dentist immediately and within seconds the dentist can adjust the flow of gases, and the patient will feel more comfortable again.
At the conclusion of the sedation dentistry treatment, the patient will once again receive 100% oxygen (for a minimum of three to five minutes). At the end of this time, the person should feel absolutely back to normal. If they still feel even a little bit sedated, the dentist should give the patient oxygen for a few more minutes.
Most dentists permit the fully-recovered laughing gas patient to leave the dental office unescorted and to resume their normal activities. In some situations where a patient recovers more slowly, they might be required to have an escort (friend or relative) drive them home.
Laughing gas inhalation sedation is highly effective in the management of mild to moderate levels of dental anxiety. It also is an excellent technique in persons who are extreme gaggers; laughing gas usually eliminates or minimizes gagging in most patients.
Finally, laughing gas is highly recommended for apprehensive patients who have medical problems such as angina pectoris, persons who have had a heart attack, or persons with high blood pressure, asthma or epilepsy.
Inhalation sedation dentistry should not be used with persons who are claustrophobic or with persons who are unable to breathe through their nose. Please discuss these with your dentist before treatment using laughing gas begins.

Preaching is a living activity. The delivery of the Word is meant to be deeply informed by the relationship between pastor and people. There can be no substitute for being present in your own assembly when the Word is preached by your own minister. We strongly encourage you to listen regularly and receptively to the Word preached by your own teaching elder.
With that in mind, we offer the following sermons. If you find them helpful we would be more than happy to hear from you and to get to know you.

Zambia: Former provincial permanent secretary summoned for corruption
The Northern Province taskforce on corruption has summoned former provincial permanent secretary Mwalimu Simfukwe and his former procurement officials for questioning. The task force is probing the alleged awarding of a tender worth K1.8billion to Pamoja Contractors and General Suppliers for the construction of culverts in Isoka, Chinsali, Mpulungu and Kaputa. The contract exceeded the K500 million threshold, which was beyond what the permanent secretary and his provincial tender committee could approve. This should have been referred to the Zambia Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA) for consent or objection. Also being probed is the alleged awarding of a contract to Pachi Business Solutions worth K700 million for the supply of building materials for various projects in the province. This contract was awarded in circumstances that allegedly flouted tender procedures.

The award-winning Jade Mountain resort soars majestically above our exclusive 600-acre beachfront estate. Jade is an architectural marvel that embraces and celebrates St. Lucia's stunning scenic beauty – the view from your suite is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The sanctuaries are grand sweeping spaces with extravagantly sized private infinity pools which appear to float out to nature and to the amazing views of the Pitons and Caribbean Sea - views that make a perfect backdrop for hours of reverie.

The spectacular St.Jean Beach is just a three- minute walk down the hill (and maybe a few minutes more on the way back up). The area around St.Jean Beach is popular for its range of boutiques, restaurants, bars, discos and take-outs, all within walking distance of our hotel.
Casa Wirth, Salto, Uruguay, South America
Casa Wirth, a well preserved colonial mansion in the historic quarters of Salto, on the banks of the Rio Uruguay, is the latest South American escape for seasoned travelers. Each one of the five guest rooms of Casa Wirth, within the 12,000 square foot property is furnished with flair and refinement, maintaining the original colonial style. The plush, refurbished rooms feature patios and sun terraces with fully equipped kitchens plus dining and living rooms with fireplaces. All rooms also feature individually designed bathrooms and amenities including complimentary Wi-Fi. It's not as luxe as the Waldorf Towers in New York, where Wirth was the Executive Director, or the Hassler in Rome, where he grew up, yet bringing a unique sense of refinement, an almost obsessive attention to detail – and a long, distinguished pedigree.

First Torbay Air Show flies to success
The first Torbay Airshow has been declared a success this afternoon as thousands of people watched spectacular displays. The event has taken several years of planning.
In the skies could be spotted Peter Davies - whose unusual craft stood out from the crowd:
Besides Gyrocopters, there were plenty of planes to see and pilots on hand to talk about the impressive craft.
Typhoon Pilot Mark Long seemed impressed with the new shows set up:
With a huge turnout of spectators, it appear organisers had nothing to worry about when it came to the event's popularity.

The student debt reports have been updated for the graduates of 2015-16. I don't see anything surprising, other than a tiny decrease or highly stable numbers. I think we are pretty much to the point where median debt for a bachelor's degree is simply at the borrower limit for for subsidized Stafford loans for students that complete in four years. Given the growth in student debt over the last decade, it will be interesting to see how long that lasts.
1. 52% of all graduates at all levels have debt. 48% graduate without debt. At the bachelor's degree level, 62% of graduates have debt; 38% do not. (details)2. Median student debt for bachelor's degree graduates is $26,929 in 2015-16. That's up from $25,000 in 2011-12. (details)3. Median PLUS debt for bachelor's degree graduates is $24,570 in 2015-16. That's up from $18,6255 in 2011-12.(details)4. Total median debt for bachelor's degree graduates (student debt plus PLUS debt) is $30,102 in 2015-16. It was $27,000 in 2011-12. (details)5. The number of bachelor's degree graduates with debt has increased from 59% of the total graduates in 2011-12 to 63% in 2015-16, representing approximately 6,000 additional graduates with debt over the period. (This excludes PLUS.) (details)6. Approximately 7.4% of bachelor's degree graduates (3,986 graduates) have student debt greater than $50,000.(details)7. At the master's, doctoral and first professional levels, the number of graduates with debt and the amount of debt also has increased between 2011-12 and 2015-16. (This includes PLUS.) 8. A larger percentage of bachelor's degree graduates from private colleges (70% of total) have debt than graduates from public colleges (58%), and the amount they borrow is somewhat higher than graduates from public colleges ($28,524 to $26,718).9. Bachelor's degree graduates from Virginia borrow at about the same rate as out-of-state graduates (63% to 60%). Median debt for Virginia borrowers is about $1,000 lower than debt for out-of-state graduates ($27,000 to $26,000). (details)10. Graduates of the state's largest undergraduate bachelor's degree programs borrow at roughly the same level. (details)11. Students at the master's, doctoral and first professional levels graduate with significantly more debt than undergraduate students.

As a creative director, I find it critical to explain how seemingly disparate tactics work together in a successful strategy. Typical text-heavy presentations, however, frustratingly undermine true campaign cohesiveness and invite line-item cuts.
The Strategy Map infographic I developed solves these problems by visually expressing the relationship between complex strategies and protecting the integrity of the project. I've found it to be an invaluable new business gambit as well; by illustrating positive ROI and effectiveness relationships, I've persuaded clients to expand scope the of work by twofold or more.

One morning I woke up hating my current bedding. I don't like its color, or quality, or anything. So I decided to make some new pillowcases and a new duvet cover.
Duvet cover turned out huge and it is really hard to take a picture but it is so homey and comfy and it brings so much light to our bedroom. I love it! For the front I used all my flowery patterned fabric that I had for over 2 years and I am really excited about it. For the back I used a flat sheet I never used.

The project consisted on a modular system that allows the male zone with urinals to be into a shared toilets area. The sinks are placed forming a square, and the waste water is used for the flushing of the urinals, placed in the inner walls of this square.
The second and third prizes were awarded to Das Klo by Polina Lvova, Eugeniya Sadovskaya and Ekaterina Maximova from Moscow State Stroganov Academy of Industry and Applied Arts; and WECO - water economy & comfort by Svetlana Puseynova and Maria Stepanova from Higher School of Economics in Moscow, valued at 3.000 and 1.000 euros respectively.

A really elegant set of quality stamps. Unmounted for you to mount yourself or use as they are after cutting. The designs are great and also will be suitable for occasions other than Weddings. I like the fact that the corners have an opposite so that all corners, when stamped, mirror each other. Of course, not just for corners......another set I recommend for your "investment" !!
I love the different sizes of leaf swags included in this plate & the fact that there are mirror image pairs of each size - you can create wedding arches as well as use them for corners. The bride's dress could easily be paper pieced in paper matching the wedding stationery or indeed using one of the swags included. Paula (PEP)

3 Days Of Writing
Posted by BigWords on September 11, 2010
Yes, you read the title of the post correctly. This is my brilliant idea to get out of any future memes of similar construction, and I will continue in similar fashion for the next couple of posts. Three days, in and out.
1. Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you've worked with and why.
It is incredibly hard to pick just one of the sandboxes I play in as a favorite (and I guess this is the same for a lot of people), but if pressed on the issue I would fall back on Faerwither. Picking that is, of course, cheating. I've mentioned it a few times, though I have never really explained the name or the setting in enough detail to properly convey just how far off into fantasy it is – yet even describing it as a fantasy setting doesn't convey what it truly is. The basic nature of the realm is a fluctuating physical, though roughly linear, state which exists just off from our reality. Characters are drawn into "the space between places" and remove themselves from it as needed, creating wrinkles in other stories and allowing them to interact in different eras.
Bellamy (from the spy story) spent time there before the beginning of that story – which explains why he is written as being much, much older than he is – and The Reverend from my western has existed there from around 1900 onwards. He'll get out eventually. I'm not sure how, exactly, the epic-fantasy-novel-by-way-of-superhero-war fits in, though a bunch of characters (including Heracles and Erinyes) made their way to the present via Faerwither. It's my version of the ultimate Deus Ex Machina, and I overuse it sometimes when I run out of reasons to viably keep a character alive past any sensible timeframe. This means that everything I've ever written is included due to the crossover nature of the location. Like I said, I cheated with the answer…
2. How many characters do you have? Do you prefer males or females?
There are thousands of characters. Literally. I have never sat down and counted them out (which seems an utterly insane prospect given that some of the characters have clones to add to the confusion), but I'm sure there would be in excess of two thousand. No, I'm not going to sit down and count them. On the gender breakdown I'm probably split roughly evenly, though I figure that on a story-to-story basis there are some that have many more males than females and vice versa. The Reverend is a very male-oriented story, while a silly airport-based side-scene/separate story from Ghost Bureau has an almost entirely female cast.
3. How do you come up with names, for characters (and for places if you're writing about fictional places)?
Names are easy for me, as they normally have extensive, though often obscure, references to real places and people.Bellamy, for example, is in deference to the maker of veal pies. Faerwither is named because it always rains there (and it is based upon the geography of the Downs), while the more mundane agencies involved in behind the scenes activities take their cue from old spy shows and movies. This happens a lot, with references to fictional companies turning up in slightly altered guises all the time. I dislike using existing companies as it seems too on the nose, so using obscure references to other books, films and television shows works better. I don't have a lot of easy answers for this, and it would take a few blog posts worth of step-by-step explanations to show how I got from a reference to a homage to a joke, burying it under several layers of other, unconnected, references.
4. Tell us about one of your first stories/characters!
Really? You honestly want to hear about that? Okay, so the first one I can remember was a big mash-up that consisted of a bunch of differently-sized characters wandering across a planet. That description makes it sound shit, but there is no way to make it even vaguely interesting or engaging given its' origins – which, thankfully, I'm under no obligation to reveal again.
5. By age, who is your youngest character? Oldest? How about "youngest" and "oldest" in terms of when you created them?
Heracles may, possibly, be the oldest, though I'm not up to speed on the continuity of mythological beings. He may be older than Erinyes, and I know he's got a few years on most of my other characters. The youngest is harder to answer. I use characters at different points in their lives for different stories, so at any one point in time I may be writing them then they are 8 and in their 60s in different stories. Best not to contemplate the problems that can lead to… There are also a couple of clones which complicate matters further.
6. Where are you most comfortable writing? At what time of day? Computer or good ol' pen and paper?
I'm happy with either the computer, the laptop or pen and paper. The funny thing with choosing the way I create the story is the ability to alter the feel of the prose. Pen and paper makes for very stark, minimalist material, while the stuff I've written on the laptop comes across as more active and rushed. The desktop computer manages to balance out a lot of the bad habits with much deeper research into the worlds I play in. Time of day also affects the words, with night being when everything seems to come together for me.
7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
Each character has their own playlists, while each universe has its own tone. I'll probably expand on this at some point, but I have plans for this in relation to some of the more complex elements I'm playing with – again, it gets very complicated, very quickly.
8. What's your favorite genre to write? To read?
Genre-blind, remember? I like anything which move outside of the comfortable, label-friendly genre constraints, so a horror-western, comedy-SF, or twisted political-fantasy would appeal more than something that doesn't veer far from the mainstream. The well-worn paths are boring once the essential components have been read, and the best of the genres been understood and filed away for future reference.
9. How do you get ideas for your characters? Describe the process of creating them.
I don't create the characters. They're there already, and I just find them. Mostly I find them doing things they shouldn't be doing… They also tend to talk back to me.
10. What are some really weird situations your characters have been in? Everything from serious canon scenes to meme questions counts!
The weirdness factor is off the scale. Cursed gold, ghosts who solve crimes, the hunt for the charred bones of an angel (or alien posing as an angel) under a cathedral… The tightly-packed multiverse of characters and events seems to run on the weirdness sometimes, with pauses for random acts of violence. Here's something else – I consider everything I've written (no matter how contradictory) to be canon. The fact that most of my characters exist in-between the things normal stories would focus on helps this, allowing for very strange things to seem almost workaday.

The University of Cambridge has trial access to The Japan Times Archive
up to 13 November 2016.
This trial will be useful for students beyond East Asian studies because the Japan Times is all in English. The digital archives include every issue from 1897 to 2015. It is all full-text searchable. We already have newspaper archives for the Yomiuri Shimbun, Nikkei, and Asahi Shimbun.
For students and scholars who read Japanese, Japan's major English-language newspaper could be an extra point of comparison. Our existing subscriptions also include English-language editions from Yomiuri and Nikkei. These and other Japan-related e-resources are available together here.
You can reach the Japan Times Archives here
Current Issues are available at the Japan Times site.
Please send your feedback by writing an email to: email@example.com
From the issue of June 3, 1953: "Made Memorable: The concert last Saturday afternoon at Hibiya Hall … was made especially memorable by the presence of Mrs Eleanor Roosevelt, who spoke the narrative for Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf". … Even though her reading was in English the large audience of Japanese children seemed familiar enough with the delightful composition to follow it with ease. The tiny sprinkling of American children and their parents (why don't more turn out?) was visibly as moved as I was, not only by the sound of this truly American voice so far from home, but also by the evident enjoyment of over two thousand young Japanese throats singing out "Swanee River" as though it were one of their own folk songs".
Eleanor Roosevelt in Hiroshima, June 1953.

Christmas Films
December 16, 2012
Over the past century and more, cinema has become a significant part of the celebration of Christmas. The festive period is the key season for release of blockbusters such as the Harry Potter franchise and fantasy films like The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (Peter Jackson, US/New Zealand). Christmas television schedules are organized around well-known films, home viewing is a time-honoured Christmas holiday activity, and Christmas in some form has been a topic, theme, or audiovisual component of countless films. By one estimate, Christmas currently figures in more than a quarter of Hollywood's top-grossing pictures.
Films with a Christmas theme can be dated to cinema's earliest years. In 1901 the British filmmaker R.W. Paul created the first ever adaptation of Charles Dickens's 1843 novella A Christmas Carol, a trick film called Scrooge; or, Marley's Ghost. Other adaptations quickly followed: in the US the Essanay Manufacturing Company produced a one-reeler in 1908 and the Edison Company made film versions in 1910 and 1914. The innumerable subsequent film versions include MGM's lavish A Christmas Carol (Edward L. Marin, US, 1938); the 1951 Scrooge (Brian Desmond Hurst, UK), starring Alastair Sim; a musical of the same title (Ronald Neame, UK, 1970); Scrooged (Richard Donner, US, 1988), a Saturday Night Live-influenced parody featuring Bill Murray; and The Muppet Christmas Carol (Brian Henson, US, 1992), a spinoff of the popular television puppet show. All versions and variants of Dickens's story embody an archetypal Christmas plot: a central character undergoes a period of self-reflection from which a renewed moral perspective and/or sense of community emerges against a backdrop of selfishness and greed. Faith is often a significant factor here, with supernatural or divine intervention ensuring that moral probity and commitment to family and community are suitably rewarded. While this type of plot perhaps hints at the religious significance of the festival, it is actually relatively rare for films to address the Christian story of Christmas directly.
Many of the best-loved and most influential Christmas films are products of Hollywood's studio system. The Bing Crosby vehicles Holiday Inn (Mark Sandrich, US, 1942) and its remake White Christmas (Michael Curtiz, US, 1954) both feature Crosby's famous song 'White Christmas'. These films also incorporate elements of mise-en-scene that have become associated with Christmas films: open fires, home and family, fairy lights, sleigh rides, and so on. Frank Capra's It's A Wonderful Life (US, 1946), a perennial of Christmas television and cinema programming, revamps the Christmas Carol theme of family unity and community renewal in an American small-town setting, while the family-at-Christmas topos assumes an ominous edge in Meet Me in St. Louis (Vincente Minnelli, US, 1944), a musical with overtones of melodrama. Reluctant - but eventually redemptive - reunions of dysfunctional families figure in such Christmas melodramas as Un conte de Noël/A Christmas Tale (Arnaud Desplechin, France, 2008). Since Miracle on 34th Street (George Seaton, US, 1947), in which a young girl who does not believe in Santa Claus comes face to face with him in Macy's department store in New York, Santa has become increasingly visible as a film character, assuming many guises and meanings. Santa Claus: The Movie (Jeannot Szwarc, UK, 1985) and Joulutarina/A Christmas Story (Juha Wuolijoki, Finland, 2007) present culturally distinctive takes on the Father Christmas legend, while in Santa Claus (René Cardona, Mexico, 1959), Santa is forced to duel with demons.
Animation is a perennially popular format for Christmas films: in the 1950s, for example, Moscow Cartoon Film Studio produced Night Before Christmas, based on a story by Gogol. Other Christmas-themed animations include How The Grinch Stole Christmas (Chuck Jones, US, 1966), The Snowman (Dianne Jackson, UK, 1982), The Nightmare Before Christmas (Henry Selick, US, 1993), and Aardman Films' Arthur Christmas (Sarah Smith, US/UK, 2012). But Christmas also figures in types of film that might not be immediately associated with the festive season. In 1941, for example, Harry Watt of the GPO Film Unit directed the documentary Christmas Under Fire, which showed Christmas being celebrated in London during the Blitz: the film was designed to encourage the US to enter World War II on the side of the Allies. By contrast, a recent documentary, A la rencontre du Père Noël (Gary Evans and Marc Girard, Canada, 2007) looks at the changing meanings of the Santa Claus archetype.
Christmas is a recurrent theme in war films, including Jean Renoir's antiwar classic La grande illusion/The Grand Illusion (France, 1937) and Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (Nagisa Oshima, UK/Japan/New Zealand, 1982), as well as Joyeux Noël/Merry Christmas (Christian Carrion, France/Germany/UK/Belgium/Romania, 2005), which depicts the World War I 'Christmas Truce' when soldiers in the trenches declared an unofficial ceasefire to celebrate the holiday. Perhaps as a reaction to saccharine and sentimental filmic portrayals of Christmas, a number of horror films set out bloody and frightening scenarios: examples include Silent Night, Bloody Night (Theodore Gershuny, US, 1972), Black Christmas (Bob Clark, Canada, 1974), and Don't Open Till Christmas (Edmund Purdom, UK, 1984); while Santa is a psychopathic killer in You Better Watch Out (Lewis Jackson, US, 1980), To All a Good Night (David Hess, US, 1980), and Silent Night, Deadly Night (Charles E. Sellier Jr, US, 1984) and an evil spirit in Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale (Jalmari Helander, Finland/Norway/France/Sweden, 2010).

Sheffield Forgemasters Delivers Nord Stream Pipeline Clamps
Sheffield Forgemasters International has produced subsea emergency repair clamp bodies for use on the world's longest subsea gas pipeline.
Designed by Oil States Industries in Houston, the hydro-clamp is designed to provide risk mitigation in the event of a breach in a subsea pipeline.
Sheffield Forgemasters has delivered two clamp bodies for Oil States each to form emergency repair backup for the 1,224 km Nord Stream pipeline which runs along the Baltic Sea floor from Vyborg in Russia to Lubmin in Germany.
The clamps are currently in the testing phase at Oil States in Houston before they are shipped to the Nord Stream project where they will be reserved for emergency backup use.
George Brown, group projects director, said: "The Nord Stream clamps are hydraulically operated repair mechanisms, designed to reinforce the Nord Stream Pipeline at any required point along the Baltic Sea floor.
"The size of the forging exceeded the known parameters for the designated material selection and required a new engineering solution to make it possible. Sheffield Forgemasters excels in these realms of manufacture where the practicable realisation of process capability is considered alongside the theoretical metallurgy using experience based knowledge.
"The clamp comprises of two matched halves which can be locked around the pipeline in order to stop any leakage. In order to provide the matched pairs of half clamps the forging was produced as a single piece before being cut longitudinally to produce the two halves."

Customer Sales and Support Manager

TextAnywhere is a great company to work for, a super team in all disciplines makes it a pleasure. The fact that I and many others have been here for a long time speaks volumes!
It's difficult for me to single out a product as they all do the job they are designed for superbly but I think that our TextSurvey application, particularly the interactive version, is hard to beat. We are very happy to take suggestions from our clients and, where possible, our development team will incorporate these.
Customer Sales and Support
Customer Sales and Support
My name is Tia and I work in the customer services & sales department at TextAnywhere. We are responsible for offering help and assistance to front of house calls and emails, business intelligence and first line technical support.
The thing that I love the most about working at TextAnywhere is talking to a wide variety of clients with varying needs for their businesses. This makes every day unique and never dull, with a sense of instant achievement when you have managed to help them out.
One of my favourite products that TextAnywhere offers is TextOnline. I like the simplicity of it, as well as you having the ability to send to hundreds of recipients very quickly. It's very easy to use and you have the ability to schedule when you want to send messages and have a thread of your messages available to remind you of what has been exchanged.

TextGroup is one of our newer additions to our inbound long number service (TextInbound) and allows each person that is added to the TextGroup to receive messages sent to the long number which means everyone is kept up to date with the information. This is particularly useful for schools, who want to keep parents updated on school trips for example, meaning the teacher/assistant doesn't have to give out their personal mobile number. Replies can be disabled by replacing the phone number with a maximum of 11 characters.
No hidden charges for replies, support or features. Just pay for the services you use.

Read the testimonials of not only those who attend our programs, but from parents and ambassadors as well.
Participant Feedback:
"I'm 17, and I had a lot of fun learning to dribble with my left hand, switching back and forth. Motivation from Gary Payton and it was just a lot of fun."
"I'm 14 years old, what I learned from this camp was not to be followers. Make your own goals and be your own self."
"I'm 12 years old, and I learned at camp you don't have to think about what everyone says just do what you gotta do to get it done. And you need to set goals to get out of here. And you need to do hard work."
"I'm 12 years old, I just got done with Gary Payton basketball camp. And you know what I learned that you got to break yourself down to bring yourself back up. And how far you go up is how much you can fall down. So always do the right thing and never give up."
Parent Feedback:
Chelsi Vanderbug:
"It was a lot of work to get my son and daughter here, but I knew it would pay off. All the staff and coaches of this camp are people who really care about the youth. They had very good speeches about their journeys in life and provided lots of motivation on the importance of education and making good choices. Gary Payton was all about getting the right message to the youth about how they are our future. I was very impressed. My kids truly enjoyed this camp and opportunity to attend."
