Modern cosmetic dentistry offers a wide selection of options for today's consumers for enhancing their smiles. As an alternative to crowns, chipped or stained teeth can be effectively restored with porcelain dental veneers -- ultra-thin, custom-designed ceramic shells bonded to the front teeth.
A porcelain dental veneers can change a tooth's color, size or shape. They're ideal for a number of tooth restoration purposes:
Porcelain dental veneers have a good longevity record, lasting many years when properly applied.
Porcelain dental veneers treatment requires a four-step process:
Once teeth have been veneered, they will require periodic treatment and regular visits to the dentist. The result is a beautiful and long lasting smile you will love!
By Brian J. Gray, DDS, MAGD, FICO
Most dentists will agree that the tooth crown is at the heart of general dentistry. They've all studied dental crowns in dental school, and some have done their best work replacing a missing tooth and saving the rest.
Research has given them the wherewithal to achieve virtually ideal restorations. They are natural looking, comfortable and stable in the moist environment of the mouth. Cosmetic dentistry professionals are better equipped now more than ever to build strong, long-lasting and cosmetically superior dental crowns.
A crown (or cap) is a restoration placed over broken teeth or a cracked tooth that cannot sustain a conventional filling. By covering the biting surfaces and sides of the tooth, a dental crown strengthens the damaged tooth by binding together the remaining structures. There are basically three kinds of full-crown restorations that can be placed by your cosmetic dentist, each with pros and cons, depending on your situation.
A gold crown or metal alloy crowns have the longest track record for durability, but some people object to the look of metal.
A full porcelain crown - and its new ceramic cousin - looks wonderful and fits well; however, porcelain crowns are usually best on front teeth where stress is not so great.
Porcelain-fused-to-metal dental crowns are our loyal work-horses for single-tooth restoration - they're very strong.
There are elements of finesse in the creation of any crown. The fit is the thing. The teeth must be prepared with opposing teeth in mind so a good bite won't go bad after the crown is placed. The fit must accommodate adjacent teeth, too. And the "margin," the part of the crown nearest the gum, must fit smoothly to protect the health of gum tissue.
And all this effort is to one end: to save a tooth.

Queen Elizabeth II Gets Stoned After Sean Spicer Holocaust Comments
Queen Elizabeth II Smokes with Grandson Prince Harry
When Prince Harry knocked on the door to Queen Elizabeth II's chambers, he could already smell the goodness tickling his nostrils like an old friend.
From within came an answering cough, "Enter!" Harry opened one of the double doors and smoke engulfed him like a fog, a sweet, sweet fog.
The last time he was summoned to the Queen's chambers in Buckingham Palace, Donald Trump was coming to England. She always invited her grandson, knowing full well he'd join her smoke session.
"What is it, grandmummy?" asked Harry. He shut the chamber door preserving the cloud. Queen Elizabeth II sat upright on her bed, legs crossed proper, and a joint between her gloved fingers.
"Oh the colonies, again. Pain in my arse." Harry sat on the dressing table chair. Without a word, Queen Elizabeth II passes her grandson the joint. He inhaled, gulped the air again, exhaled. The royals always got the good shit, he thought, better than rappers. Smooth and sweet, Harry took another pull. He passed it back to the Queen.
"You know," she began. Harry waited. "I don't understand."
"Understand what, grandmummy?"
Her majesty stared at the burning roach between her fingers. A smile grew slowly across her face, her eyes squinted. "Honestly, darling, my mind is working faster when I'm stoned than Spicer's capabilities to remove the foot from his mouth." The room was full of smoke and the royal ashtray showed Harry this was not his grandmother's first of the day.
Queen Elizabeth held out her hand delicately and Prince Harry helped her stand from the bed. Joint in hand, she shuffled to the window. It was a gray day in London, but the tourists were out, staring through the iron gate searching in vain for a glimpse of the Queen.
Elizabeth II took a pull, her eyes welled up. "Look at them," she coughed. "They miss me." She watched people smoosh their faces against the gate.
Cameras raised to get a clear picture of the palace without the annoyance of other people's heads. Tourists from all around the world; French, Japanese, Italian, German, Filipino, Australian, Brazilian, and of course, the Americans.
"It's a good thing we gave them up when we did, don't you agree, darling?"
Prince Harry hesitated. "They're not all bad…" he said thinking of Meghan waiting back in his chambers as he went to visit the Queen on 'official business.'
"Ah, yes. You have the American girlfriend now. You're just as forward thinking as my uncle, dear grandson, and look where that got him." The smile crept back and the Queen laughed, quiet and posh, "heh heh heh."
Queen Elizabeth II turned from the window, away from the tourists, away from her subjects and looked her grandson in the eyes. "I may have been a young woman when Hitler was in power, hiding in the comfort of my royalty, but even I'm not that daft." She took a drag. "It's ghastly."

There's so much talk around today about enlightened masters and gurus. It's common knowledge that should you accept one as your personal guide, they'll make sure to allow you to along with your personal development. It almost makes you feel compelled to have a teacher!
My theory is that individuals don't all need teachers, but most of us have to be students. It's humbling. And being humble could be the opening to a deeper discovery.
In my experience not just humans are great teachers. Pets and animals are great teachers too. So can be mountains, oceans, deserts and flowers. All life is pulsing with teaching. We just need to be open and receive the guidance.
Horses are healing creatures and teach us to possess faith and trust, develop our leading abilities and stay committed to the vision best acim podcast. This happens, in my opinion, even on tough days when nothing seems to work. They can teach us, such noble beings since they are, that individuals can love unconditionally, share freely, communicate openly and create cooperatively. To truly have the ultimate relationship with a horse there has to be no hidden agendas, no limitations on love and no withholding of anything.
Now that may be tough, but we've a choice in these matters. All decisions and choices we make may make a critical impact and can produce an exceptional effect on our lives. For example, if we choose to be scared, we WILL be scared. Let's face it, ultimately there's nothing really to be afraid of, unless we DECIDE that there is. But we could ensure it is up and we could pretend. You see, all beings reflect what and who we're in relationships – horses are no exception. Understand that the entire world was created for us so that individuals may have a context within which to experience ourselves as who we really are.
It's fundamental to realise that individuals are truly linked to everything and everyone. What is wonderful for you may not be best for your horse. What's harmful to you may not be also harmful to your horse. It's not as possible only change your horse's behaviour; your horse can influence you to improve your own personal behaviour. My horse has been certainly one of my greatest teachers. When I work and play with him, my every thought, word and deed is reflected. It's not just a revolution on exactly how we work with horses that is needed, it's a revolution of your head that individuals should really be having. It is our thinking that we ought to change.

LR faction fighting threatens Fortuyn legacy
14 January 2004
AMSTERDAM — The legacy of murdered populist politician Pim Fortuyn was looking shakier than ever on Wednesday as yet another resignation struck his Leefbaar Rotterdam (LR) party.
LR, under Fortuyn's leadership, came from nowhere to win the local elections in March 2002 and dominate the coalition running the port city.
The LR's victory was the first clear demonstration of the Fortuyn's power. The anti-immigration campaigner wanted to be prime minister of the Netherlands and he nearly made it.
Fortuyn was gunned down by Volkert van der Graaf on 6 May 2003. But his national LPF party went on to take 26 parliamentary seats in the general election nine days later and entered a coalition government with the Christian Democrat CDA and Liberal VVD.
However the centre-right coalition was brought down 87-days later when the CDA and VVD lost patience with infighting between two LPF ministers.
Rotterdam seemed to offer a far better chance to preserve Fortuyn's legacy.
LR was initially praised for the party's willingness to get on with the other parties and its tough stance on crime was credited with making Rotterdam a safer place to live.
But three councillors broke away from LR in 2003 as a result of disagreements with LR party leader Ronald Sörensen endangering the coalition's majority on the city council.
In the latest crisis, Rabella de Faria has resigned from her position as LR Alderwoman for security and public health.
The break came as LR councillors made clear they had lost confidence in De Faria's ability to meet the targets set for her.
It remains to be seen if LR can avoid any further defections or whether the party is doomed to implode, signalling the end of the Fortuyn experiment.

Cal student Dora Antal scores game-tying goal & final penalty shot today to lift Hungary water polo to quarterfinal.
Dora Antal scored the two biggest goals for Hungary in the #RioGames against Australia #Rio2016 https://t.co/JGyqhml2yg— WDTN (@WDTN) August 15, 2016
Following Hungary's overtime victory over Australia in the quarterfinals of the Olympic women's water polo tournament Monday, one of Dora Antal's teammates called her "the engine that drives the car of the team." At the end of regulation and especially in the decisive shootout, Antal proved why she deserved such praise . Antal, who will be a junior for the Bears in the fall, tied the game at 8-8 with a goal with 2:59 remaining in the fourth quarter. The match remained tied through the end of the period, which set up a shootout to determine the winner. With each team awarded five shots on goal, Hungary made its first four, while Australia made three of four. So when Antal took aim, she knew that a goal would clinch the outcome. And with a hard shot to the right side of the net, Antal sent Hungary to the next round, while Australia missed the semifinals for the first time since women's water polo became an Olympic sport in 2000. "I'm so glad we could beat this strong Australian team," said Antal, already a two-time All-American and the 2014 MPSF Newcomer of the Year for Cal. "I think we proved we are a big team and we have a really big heart. I think that was the key." Antal's Cal teammate, Anna Illes, also played in the match for Hungary. Next up will be a Wednesday meeting with the United States for the right to play in the gold-medal match.
Byeong-Hun An finishes 11th in Olympic golf tournament
although i didnt get a medal this week but im proud to be an Olympian and represent my country. it was a special week. #Rio2016 #Olympics— Byeong Hun An (@ByeongHunAn) August 14, 2016
Recap from CalBears.com: Golden Bear Ben An, competing for South Korea, shot a 3-under-par 68 in the final round of the Olympic golf tournament to finish in a tie for 11th place, highlighting Cal's Sunday results at the 2016 Games. An completed four days of play with a 6-under-par total at the Olympic Golf Course, matching scores by Patrick Reed (USA), Bernd Wiesberger (Austria) and David Lingmerth (Sweden). An posted a pair of eagles on Sunday, including on the par-5 18th hole. "I didn't get a medal this week, but I'm proud to be an Olympian and represent my country. It was a special week," An tweeted after his round. An, who played for the Bears from 2010-11, joins both his parents as Olympians. At the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, his mother won a silver medal in women's doubles and a bronze in women's singles for China, while his father took home a bronze medal in men's doubles for South Korea.
Carli Lloyd and Team USA volleyball undefeated in pool play
In women's volleyball, alum Carli Lloyd and the United States completed pool play with a perfect 5-0 record after downing China, 3-1 (22-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-19). Lloyd saw action in the first set and contributed one dig and one assist. Team USA next plays Tuesday night in the quarterfinals. "We knew China would be a tough competitor. They always are and they don't go away," Lloyd said after the match. "So you can get them backed up a bit, then they just come at you full throttle. I feel we did a really good job of just staying in it and trusting in what we do. It was a great team effort." Lloyd, the 2010 NCAA Player of the Year, added she takes much of what she learned in Berkeley with her onto the court at the international level. "Being at Cal and being in that environment, I felt like I was part of a family," Lloyd said. "That environment we created in Berkeley those four years is something that will always be with me. And I use that as an example when I go other places because those four years were phenomenal. We had a great four-year run there, and a large part was because of the environment we created."

Let the Show Begin
by Denn Guptill
And now it's Sunday
morning, you've
designed your presentation making sure that you have a consistent look
throughout, your fonts are the right size and you've checked your
spelling and grammar. So now you are ready to run your show, right?
Wrong. Stop and rewind. If Sunday morning is the first time you have
gone through your entire presentation then you can almost rest assured
that Mr. Murphy will be your co-presenter and whatever can go wrong
will go wrong.
Once you have finished preparing your presentation you need to run through it to make sure that you have everything you are supposed to have, and that it's all in the right place and is doing what it is supposed to be doing. It's only when you have run the presentation sequentially from the very beginning to the very end will you know that all the animations and slide transitions are behaving properly. Make sure that you are following along with an order of service so you can be sure the various elements and segues are where they are supposed to be.
Unless you prepare your presentation using the digital projector in the actual environment where your service is held, it's a good idea to run through your slide show under similar circumstances before the appointed time. The time to discover that you can't read your text because the sun is hitting the screen is 10:30 Saturday morning, not 10:30 Sunday morning. I've changed the font colors on thirty-five sermon slides forty-five minutes before the service began and it's no fun.
Familiarize yourself with your equipment before you actually need it. Make sure everything is working, meaning the projector is projecting and the computer is computing. There have been one hundred and sixty-seven hours since the benediction at the close of last Sunday's service and almost as many opportunities for things to have gone wrong with your equipment. Don't ask me how settings can be changed on a machine that hasn't been turned on all week, but we all know that it happens. You will want to make neat discoveries (like someone borrowed the power cord from the computer) early enough to find a solution before the service begins.
If you are using a laptop, make sure your computer is plugged into the power cord and the power cord is plugged into power. There is a certain feeling of helplessness that occurs when the low battery warning appears on the screen half way through your second song.
If you are using a different computer to run your presentation than you used for your preparation it's wise to check which version of PowerPoint your presentation machine is using. PowerPoint is pretty much backward compatible from POWERPOINT 2003 to 95 but not everything designed in 2003 will work in earlier versions. Hate to keep mentioning it, but the best time to make those exciting discoveries isn't in the middle of your sermon.
Even though you will be able to open and run a show that you prepared in PowerPoint 2003 on a machine running earlier releases, that really cool MP3 file you used will remain silent, some transparent fills will turn to solid colors and your animated gifs will be less than animated.
PowerPoint 2003 also has many more custom animations than its predecessors, as well as more choices in how those animations will behave. And the new animations are not backward compatible. Here's some disappointing news as well; if you use the pack and go function along with PowerPoint presenter, your show will not have access to the new features from PowerPoint 2003.
If God's promise to Abraham were made today, instead of promising Abraham's descendants that would outnumber the sands on the beach or stars in the sky, he would have been promised more descendants then there are fonts.
It's not unusual for most computers to have several hundred fonts stored on their hard drive, but nobody has the same several hundred. Even though the main body of your presentation should contain simple easy to read fonts you may have opted for special fonts to match the theme of your message. By running through the show on the presentation machine you will assure that the X-files font you hunted so long for will actually show up during your presentation.
Don't assume that all of your fonts will work. Because you know what happens when you assume? Sometimes you're wrong. If you are not using the same computer for preparation and presentation, then you need to embed your fonts. (In the "Save As" menu, click on "Tools", "Save Options", and select "Embed TrueType Fonts".)
Type "A" personalities have a tough time relinquishing control of anything... even their PowerPoint Presentations. If you fall into that category and you are using a remote mouse, be sure to check your batteries. It's amazing how often your remote can be left on following last Sunday's service. We've discovered that the easiest way to win the battery game is to purchase two sets of rechargeable batteries and keep the recharged set close by. Before the service is also a good time to establish your line of sight to the receiver for the remote. Even though very few other experiences capture the mystique of watching someone repeatedly pressing a mouse key while wandering around the platform, I'm sure your people will discover something equally as titillating to take its place... even if it's the old standby of finding mistakes in the bulletin.
Inevitably, circumstances arise where your computer operator needs to assume control of the presentation. There are a number of shortcuts available via the keyboard which can be used without exiting the slide show.
Keyboard Shortcuts For Actions During Slideshow

|Help during slide show
Remember that you can't practice too much. The more familiar you are with your presentation, the less likely you will have to be thinking about it when you should be thinking about your message. If you are paying too much attention to your slide show, you will distract your listeners from your spoken word. The presentation is meant to reinforce your message, not undermine it.
Questions To Ask Before The Show Begins:
Have you rehearsed your presentation?
Have you checked the presentation computer and projector?
Have you confirmed that your fonts are present on the presentation machine?
Are the batteries charged for your remote mouse?
Have you rehearsed your presentation again?

10/01/2020 - Careers
For over ten years, Vallourec has been working to expand and develop the careers of our technical experts. This strategic initiative has three main objectives. It ensures that employees' technical skills are continuously developed, it helps us retain highly skilled employees and it allows us to build bridges with the wider scientific and industrial community.
The Expert Career program has been specially designed to grow and reward employees with rare technical skills. It covers 14 fields, including steelmaking, rolling, heat treatment, non-destructive testing, threading, digital modeling, material science and more.
Dedicated to employees with extensive technical knowledge, it offers a path for career development that isn't focused on production management. The program helps us retain our brightest technical minds and give them the means—both in terms of time and research budgets—to continue developing their skill set. Today, there are more than 250 Expert employees who are on one of the four levels of the Expert Career track.
Expanding the scope
While it was originally created for employees in Research and Development (R&D), over the last few years, the program has been expanded to include employees with highly developed technological skills, working in the production environment.
This is essential to ensure that innovations from R&D labs can be successfully transferred to the shop floor within budget and within an acceptable time frame.
Meaningful innovation in an industry like ours should be based on both product and process. If product engineers and process engineers aren't working together from the beginning, you get to a certain point and realize that the product can't be made, or is too expensive. Most companies fail not in research, but in development and speed of implementation.Michael Kan Performance and Technology Director and Level IV Expert
Building a personalized career path
The application process is driven by employees themselves, who can verify that they are eligible for the program online.
After discussing their professional development plans with their manager and local HR, they then submit a nomination application. The application covers their skills and knowledge and requires a personalized development plan for continuing to grow their expertise, as well as input from a sponsor in their field. Juries, composed of the field sponsor, R&D experts, internal clients, quality managers, industrial managers and HR managers, evaluate the applications. Final decisions are announced at the end of the year.
For those awarded the Expert Career level, Human Resources (HR) teams ensure their compensation and employment index are at the right level. From an R&D perspective, the program is essential.
The program offers many benefits to employees. They become part of a community and are recognized for their skills, for one. It ensures they will be able to continue developing their skills, for another. And it aligns their compensation with their skills. Experts are precious. If we can't show them a path to an interesting professional life, we risk losing them to the competition. That would be a tremendous loss.Christian Zinkler Director of Human Resources
Technical experts need dedicated resources to continue their development. If you are on a management track, you don't have time for your own research, or to work with academic or industry partners or otherwise develop your expertise. This program ensures experts have the time and support to continue developing. Indeed, having a clear development plan is an important part of the program.Jérôme Peultier Director of Research and Development
Developing core functions and processes
Above all, says Christian Zinkler, Vallourec's core functions as a manufacturer of steel tubes must be continually developed.
"As I was reading the 80-plus applications this year, I was impressed to see how many people in the company are working on our core processes and core products. Steel tubes look like a commodity, but they are a high-end technology that require talent development. Our core functions are essential and must continuously be expanded."
The Expert Career program ensures Vallourec's expertise is recognized outside of the company as well. "Thanks to the credibility and documented expertise of our technical specialists, Vallourec partners with academic institutions, regulatory authorities and industry experts," explains Christian Zinkler.
This type of recognition, combined with the internal recognition and compensation, helps us retain our highly-skilled employees. With Expert Careers our technical employees know their contribution is valued.Christian Zinkler Director of Human Resources

#BlackLivesMatter #BrightYoungLives
This is for my brothers and my sisters full of ideas, creativity, and passion. This is for those young black lives, the eighteen and nineteen year olds trying to make it to graduation or college orientation. For the bright young lives, yes, those bright young lives being taken in the street all from a claim of self-defense. Because now it seems that they can't be seen walking down the street with a hoodie on their heads because the color of their skin makes the "white man" scared. Then when these lives are taken and these families are shattered you have the audacity to tell us that Black Lives Matter, and proceed to give any pre-written apology and empty "I'm sorry" that you think will satisfy the media and hell even cover your ass. Then tell us that these events have nothing to do with race. Go ahead and tell us these young lives aren't being taken because they are black and that the people who take them aren't doing it purposely. Please proceed to tell us how these are just accidental and that fear of our skin color doesn't cross your mental. Then excuse me while I laugh cause your privilege is showing.

Sour Economy Tests `For Better For Worse' Marriage Vows
- Margaret Bernstein Religion News Service
- 2009 3 Jan
Money has gotten so tight for Mary Brown and her husband that she has taken a part-time job as a stripper.
"A furniture stripper," she explains with a devilish laugh.
A sense of humor has pulled the Browns through hard times, but even that's evaporating as the couple -- married for 18 years and with five children -- struggle to keep up with their bills. Every month, the high-interest loan they took out to buy a house in Cleveland gobbles up half their income, and what's left barely covers utilities and food.
Her husband, Shawn, 40, escapes from stress by spending 12 hours a day or more on the road as a truck driver.
When he gets home, he prefers to talk calmly about the bills in the privacy of their bedroom. "Not me," says Mary, 34. By then, she has fretted over finances so much that "I'm screaming, `The bills got to be paid, give me some money!'"
Like many couples in this dismal economy, the Browns are turning to experts for help. Together they attended a homeowners workshop last month and are trying to renegotiate their loan before their adjustable mortgage resets in January.
Clergy, therapists, debt counselors and others in the financial industry report hearing from more distressed couples struggling with a recession-era grab bag of troubles, from job loss and foreclosure to receding retirement accounts and uninsured illnesses.
Joe Rock, a therapist in suburban Rocky River, Ohio, says he has never had so many clients dealing with joblessness in his 25 years of practice. "In the last week, I saw 15 people who are out of work or who own a business that's failing," he said.
One byproduct of the economy, some experts say, is that fewer couples are calling it quits. In Cleveland's Cuyahoga County, the divorce rate has been shrinking steadily over the past three years.
"People are rethinking divorces," said Rock. "They realize they can't even afford attorneys," much less the cost of supporting two households.
Some say the sour economy is accomplishing a moral turnaround that ministers couldn't: convincing couples to not walk away when things get tough, but rather to forgive each other and remain committed to their vows, "for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer."
That's heartening news for Ronald Klein, pastor of missions and care at Parkside Church in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, where he has never seen such a long waiting list of couples seeking emotional guidance and financial help. Couples seem more willing than they were five or 10 years ago to seek marital counseling, said Klein, who has been providing pastoral care for nearly 50 years.
Overall, the divorce dip is a healthy trend, so long as couples aren't remaining in abusive relationships, said Linda Johanek, executive director of Cleveland's Domestic Violence Center. Economic woes are affecting those relationships, too, making "leaving or divorcing less of an option now because finances are so bad," Johanek said.
Victims shouldn't stay in an unhealthy relationship, she said, but instead work with trained advocates to plan a safe exit strategy. In marriages where violence isn't an issue, the threatening economy is forcing many to come to grips with how well they handle conflict.
"Sometimes I ride him a little too hard," Mary Brown admitted of her financial confrontations with her husband. "It's stressful. I'm constantly telling him, `You have to find a way to make this work.'"
Other couples avoid any discussion of financial problems. Said Andrea Kinast, foreclosure mediator for Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, "Some women call into our office after they've found out their husband stopped making mortgage payments. There wasn't enough money and he didn't want to tell her.
"She's worried so she makes the call but she doesn't want the husband to know," Kinast said. "It's a tense situation and a delicate one."
Yet, fear might be just the thing that can save a couple from financial disaster, believes Karin Maloney Stifler, a certified financial planner.
"I've never seen a case in my 18 years of doing this where there hasn't been a reason to have hope," she said. "Through any kind of crisis, whether it's health or financial, families can grow closer and stronger."
Just like a high cholesterol score might persuade a person to cut out french fries, the economic downturn can scare today's couples into cutting their expenses, especially if they're habitual overspenders.
Stifler knows of one affluent couple caught off-guard when their money faucet abruptly dried up. They had no savings to fall back on when the husband's salary and bonuses were cut drastically.
Together they agreed to trim the fat from their budget and enlisted their children in the effort, Stifler said. Both kids opted to cut their tuition bills in half by switching from out-of-state private universities to state schools.
"The parents wanted this to be a lesson for the kids -- to live within your means," Stifler said.
Now is the time to build creative conflict resolution into a relationship, said Rock, the therapist. Be open-minded in brainstorming solutions, instead of insisting that your partner do things your way.
A couple at war over how much to spend on holiday gifts may have stormed away from the argument in the past, he said, but an empty bank account is just the thing to make them sit down and negotiate.
But don't wait until you're at the breaking point, advised Klein, the Parkside pastor.
He said it's too late for him to help "when the sheriff is on his way to foreclose. We regrettably don't see people coming in early enough."
Margaret Bernstein writes for The Plain Dealer in Cleveland.

Best time to travel:
March – May. This is when the crowded tourist season is at its lowest.
Flight time from Philadelphia:
Nonstop, Approximately 4 hours.
Passport Required?
Yes. In addition, you'll need to obtain a travel visa before traveling (online through the Dominican Embassy) or a tourist card upon arrival at the airport for $10. These allow travelers to remain in the country for up to 30 days. (Most tour companies include this when you book your trip.)
Best regions for romantic resorts:
Punta Cana has a 25-mile expanse of beautiful white sandy beaches. There are about 100 resorts along this stretch.
Getting Married in Punta Cana:
There are numerous documents needed before a marriage is considered legal in Punta Cana. Couples should start this process a few months prior to the wedding because every document needs to be notarized, translated into Spanish, and authenticated. There are two different types of weddings, religious and civil. The main difference being that religious weddings are not recognized, and civil ceremonies are. Your Destination Wedding Specialist can assist you in this process to ensure everything is handled accordingly.
For a civil ceremony, the following documents are required:
For a religious ceremony the main requirement is to get authorization from an archbishop in the couple's country of residence, delivered to the local Dominican archdiocese. The documents needed include:
The bride and groom must be in the country for 3 days prior to their marriage. Because having a legal ceremony in the Dominican Republic can come with many hoops to jump through, majority of destination wedding couples choose to get married via a symbolic ceremony, and then legalize their marriage in the United States either before or after their trip. Consider the pros and cons to decide which option is best for you!

Crustal thickening prior to 220 Ma in the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt: insights from the Late Triassic granitoids in the Xiao-Nuomuhong pluton
Xia, Rui, Wang, Changming, Deng, Jun, Carranza, John, Li, Wneliang, and Qing, Min (2014) Crustal thickening prior to 220 Ma in the East Kunlun Orogenic Belt: insights from the Late Triassic granitoids in the Xiao-Nuomuhong pluton. Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 93. pp. 193-210.
PDF (Published Version)
- Published Version
Restricted to Repository staff only
The East Kunlun Orogenic Belt (EKOB) played an important role in plate tectonics, magma generation, and crustal evolution. Late Triassic granodiorites and their mafic micro-granular enclaves (MMEs) from Xiao-Nuomuhong in the EKOB were studied for geochemistry and geochronology to constrain their petrogenesis. Zircon LA-ICP-MS dating indicates that the Xiao-Nuomuhong granodiorites are coeval with their MMEs (~222 Ma). The granodiorites are high-K calc-alkaline rocks that are enriched in Rb, Th, U and LREE, and depleted in Cr, Ni and HFSE, with high Sr/Y ratios (82.2–85.3) and geochemically resemble the lower crust-derived adakites. The MMEs are also high-K calc-alkaline rocks, with high Al2O3 (16.8–18.8 wt.%), low Mg# (30–40), Nb, Zr and Hf, with weak negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu# = 0.8–0.9). We suggest the MMEs are mafic magmatic globules that were injected into the felsic host magma. The adakitic rocks from the Xiao-Nuomuhong pluton were generated by partial melting of thickened crust, while the primitive compositions of the MMEs were most likely from the lithospheric mantle beneath the EKOB. The Late Triassic Xiao-Nuomuhong pluton is important evidence that crustal thickening in the EKOB occurred prior to 220 Ma. The pluton is interpreted as the result of mixing between thickened lower crust-derived melts and lithospheric mantle-derived mafic melts and the protracted magmatic response to the break-off of the Paleo-Tethys oceanic slab at ~232 Ma.

You have been looking over your budget and you don't know how you will pay your rent or put food on the table. You are worried about student loans or medical debt. You spend your nights tossing and turning. The last thing on your mind is self care. If you can't pay your bills or you are out of work how can you afford to worry about self care? When you feel like just breathing is a fight you might not win? In truth in these high stress moments self care is even more important.
Self care is not limited to costly products with inspiration sayings and ingredients that come from the far reaches of the world. Self care involves any activities you do to support your wellness which include your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well being. When it comes to self care consider thinking outside the box such as considering your financial self care. You can take the time for self care and grow your ability to handle what your life throws your way.
One important financial self care task is to take the time to make and keep to a budget. Budgeting is a journey and something you will not get right every time. While budgeting can be complex, there are numerous examples and tools that are available online which will help you succeed. While taking this time to budget may feel like a waste of time, it is only when we budget that we will be able to have a clear picture of our financial health. The good news is often when we put our financial health down on paper we are able to see it as a challenge not as some impossible task. Budgeting is a form of self care.
A second important financial self care task is to create a plan to pay down your debts. Too many of us are under high debt loads that have high interest rates so it can feel like it is impossible to make any progress. You might be thinking 'But I am broke how can I do anything about my debts." There are many options, one popular one is the snowball method where you list all your debts based on interest rates and start paying them down at a steady rate. Once you have paid off the highest interest rate you move onto the next debt which gets paid off sooner because there is less interest. In this way you are able to tackle your debts in the most effective manner.
A third financial self care task is to reach out to others. Facing a financial hardship may make us feel like we somehow failed but in truth we all have moments when what we are bringing in does not cover our expenses. Reach out to your lenders and see what financial plans might be available to you. Especially right now as we are all dealing with the pandemic many groups are willing to work with you because they would rather get your money over a longer term than not get your money at all. Reach out to family and friends for support. This reaching out does not mean you have to ask for money directly but can ask for other more intangible assistance such as someone to listen and allow you to brainstorm your next steps, be your cheerleader or someone sharing what systems they use and what tricks they have found have worked for them. This is self care because when we are facing financial hardship we tend to turn inward because we feel shame about our situation or how we got in our situation. Sharing our challenges with others allows us to realize that we are not alone.
If you are in the middle of a financial crisis self care might be the last thing on your mind but self care can take the form of financial self care. Create a budget, look at how you can pay down your debts, and don't feel shame in reaching out to others and explaining you need help. No one has all the financial answers. Everyone needs assistance in order to regain control of their finances.

The takeaways from Spicer's Wednesday briefing
Spicer opened his daily briefing with a nod to International Women's Day, adding that we should be celebrating women 365 days of the year. When asked if WH staffers participated in the women's strike, Spicer laughed and said, "I'm not aware of any that are not here..." More highlights below.
- Obamacare repeal: "We're going to have a full court press" at the WH on behalf of Republican healthcare legislation, adding that, "We are enacting conservative values" with the new plan. On the Congressional Budget Office score, "If you're looking at the CBO for accuracy, you're looking in the wrong place," noting that the CBO score (price tag) was "way off last time."
- WikiLeaks: Said the WH cannot confirm the authenticity of the alleged CIA documents, but that "this should be a major concern, not just in regard to WikiLeaks, [but all leaks]..." Added that there is a "massive difference" between exposing Podesta's emails and the latest WikiLeaks, and later noted, "We will go after people that leak information... we will go after them at the highest level of law."
- On whether Trump is the target of a counterintelligence probe: "That's what we need to find out," said Spicer. He later circled back to clarify that there is "no reason to believe that the president is the target of any investigation whatsoever."
- H-1B visa reform: "I think there is a natural desire to have a full comprehensive look" at visa programs, said Spicer.

OSHA Temporarily Withdraws Proposed Musculoskeletal Reporting Rule
Posted @ Wednesday, January 26, 2011 2:03 PM by anonymous
Files in
ABC News,Safety,Regulations,GA-Workplace Safety
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Jan. 25 announced that it is
temporarily withdrawing
its proposed rule to revise the Form 300 to include an additional reporting column for musculoskeletal disorders (MSD).
The proposed rule was under review by the Office of Management and Budget when OSHA issued the withdrawal in order for the agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy to hold meetings to obtain input from small businesses about the proposed rule. ABC members can participate via telephone or online. More details will be announced within the month.
ABC in April
opposed the proposed rule
due to the vague and subjective definition of what would constitute an MSD, in addition to the hardships it would impose on businesses. ABC also spoke out against the proposed change in a
Jan. 12
letter to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) on the most egregious federal regulatory activity that is detrimental to ABC members.
Despite the withdrawal of the proposed rule, OSHA will still be able to
enforce ergonomics hazards
under the general duty clause.

Hi Bev here today and I am excited to share the origami Christmas tree with a video tutorial on how to make them. They are great on cards too but today I am using it as an accent on my Christmas layout page of my grand daughters when they were small sitting on Santa's lap.
Above is my finished Christmas page ….. lots of great layers of colours, a mix of shapes, a splatter of background paint, Cricut cut title, some doodling, pennants and some punching only to mention a few… BUT today I am sharing the how to make the origami tree with you.
Here is the close up of my finished tree. I added dew drops to decorate the tree.
This section shows some stickers along with my Cricut cut title. Stardream paper cuts so well in the Cricut.

Huawei has been on a roll in recent times, and the Chinese company is keeping up the momentum with its next big release: the Kirin 980 chipset. Said to be the world's first consumer-ready 7nm chipset in the world, the 980 is shaping up to be a really promising flagship SoC.
According to Android Authority, details of the Kirin 980 were confirmed by Huawei in an official press release sent to South African media. Besides confirming that the chipset will be built on a 7nm process, Huawei also said that the SoC will debut with the Mate 20 this October.
Interestingly enough, Android Authority also note that Huawei is claiming that the Kirin 980 will come with Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 cores. On top of that, there's also talk of a proprietary GPU. However, the site isn't entirely convinced with these rumoured specifications, despite Huawei's input in the matter.
Nonetheless, at least we now know the Kirin 980 will be the first 7nm chipset to hit the market. As expected, it will also be the SoC powering Huawei's next crop of flagship smartphones, starting with the new Mate 20 series.
More information regarding the Huawei Kirin 980 should be unveiled at IFA 2018. The tech conference will be taking place from 31 August to 5 September.

text: Regardless of race or ethnicity, people with multiple sclerosis (MS) agree that clinical studies are important and show a willingness and interest in being participants, a primarily U.S. survey found. Those belonging to minority groups, however, are often deterred from taking part in MS studies for reasons that range from legal and healthcare coverage concerns to mistrust in trial investigators. Based on these findings, researchers wishing to conduct studies in wide variety of patients are advised to take the time to assure patients that their rights and well-being will always be a priority, and explain the specific measures in place to guarantee those priorities. "Researchers can also make their study more attractive to minority groups by highlighting how their study will benefit specific communities. For example, studies of MS treatments could state as an explicit goal the comparison of outcomes in different racial or ethnic groups," the investigators wrote. These findings were reported in the study, "Perceptions and Preferences Regarding Multiple Sclerosis Research Among Racial and Ethnic Groups," published in the International Journal of MS Care. While MS was once thought to affect mostly whites in the U.S., recent studies found that African-Americans have a higher risk of developing the disorder, and that Hispanic Americans have a more severe disease course. "Socioeconomic factors, lack of access to specialists, lack of education about MS treatments, and delays in diagnosis with more severe prognoses may contribute to disparities in health outcomes in the African American and Hispanic communities," the researchers wrote. Individuals from minority groups tend to be underrepresented in MS trials. This tendency, evident in both public- and industry-funded studies, can have negative consequences, including an unequal distribution of benefits from study participation across populations, further increasing healthcare disparities among minority groups. Members of the MS Minority Research Engagement Partnership Network (MREPN) — a group of clinicians, researchers, and patient advocates working to identify and address barriers hindering minority participation in MS trials — suggested this trial inequity may be due in part to differences in perceptions and preferences. To investigate this, MREPN members created a 35-question online survey to gather the perceptions, concerns, and preferences of MS patients from different racial and ethnic backgrounds regarding participation in MS trials. Invitations to the survey, available in English and Spanish, were distributed by MREPN members and partner organizations via email, social media, and in-clinic flyers. A total of 2,631 MS patients, 21 years or older, responded to the survey. After excluding patients who submitted ineligible responses, investigators selected a total of 2,599 to be included in the analyses. Most survey respondents were white (81%). Blacks and Hispanics combined accounted for less than 20% of all participants. Most respondents (92.89%) were U.S. residents, while the remainder resided in 40 other countries. In general, patients recognized the importance of MS trials and showed both an interest and willingness to participate. "This study revealed that people with MS belonging to different races and ethnicities agree about the importance of MS research and are interested in participating in research studies. They are interested in learning about research opportunities and would most trust information that is provided by their healthcare providers and MS organizations," the researchers wrote. There was also a general consensus that confusing study information and potential health dangers were the two main concerns regarding MS trials. However, survey findings also showed that African-American and Hispanic patients had additional concerns that weighed on their participation. For instance, compared with white patients, Blacks were twice as likely to be concerned about being used by trial investigators. Those of Hispanic origin were also more concerned about being taken advantage of than were non-Hispanic patients. Likewise, Hispanics were more likely than non-Hispanics to agree that there's "not much left to learn about MS." Black patients showed a lesser willingness to agree that better treatments came from research than did other patient groups. Both these distinctions remained significant after adjusting for factors like socioeconomic status, the researchers reported. African-Americans also tended to assign a greater importance to research into diet and exercise than did white patients, and into studying ways to diagnose MS more quickly. From a "history of racism and discrimination against this community" particular to the U.S., Blacks also tended to show a great distrust of research and medical teams. Hispanic patients and those of unknown or undisclosed ethnicity were also more concerned that participating in MS trials could negatively affect their legal and employment status, and their health insurance. Black patients voiced concern about the release of personal information without approval. Being given medical treatment of poorer quality was a common concern among both African-American and Hispanic patients. To promote greater minority participation, survey investigators argued that trial researchers should take the time to specifically address these concerns, "for example, by clearly explaining the protections that are in place to protect the rights and well-being of study participants." Still, "similar to research in other areas of medicine, we found that altruism (research participation benefiting others in the community), low risk in participation, and individual benefits to participation (such as receiving individual test results) are incentives or facilitators to participate in MS research across racial and ethnic groups," the investigators added.

Despite increased attention and awareness in recent years, sexual harassment remains a very real problem. It can occur in various contexts, including but not limited to housing. It often affects those of modest means in a particularly insidious way, as the harasser may and often will exploit their target's economic vulnerability.
Various laws, including but not limited to the federal Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. § 3601 et seq.), and the New York City Human Rights Law (N.Y.C. Admin. Code § 8-107(5)(a)), prohibit discrimination based on sex, including sexual harassment.
Generally, there are two types of sexual harassment: (1) "quid pro quo" sexual harassment; and (2) "hostile environment" sexual harassment.
Quid pro quo harassment occurs when a housing provider requires a person to submit to an unwelcome request to engage in sexual conduct as a condition of obtaining or maintaining housing or housing-related services.
For example:
- A landlord tells an applicant he won't rent her an apartment unless she has sex with him;
- A property manager evicts a tenant after she refuses to perform sexual acts;
- A maintenance worker refuses to make repairs unless a tenant gives him nude photos of themselves.
Hostile environment harassment, on the other hand, occurs when a housing provider subjects a person to severe or pervasive unwelcome sexual conduct that interferes with the sale, rental, availability, or terms, conditions, or privileges of housing or housing-related services, including financing.
For example:
- A landlord subjects a tenant to severe or pervasive unwelcome touching, kissing, or groping;
- A property manager makes severe or pervasive unwelcome, lewd comments about a tenant's body;
- A maintenance worker sends a tenant severe or pervasive unwelcome, sexually suggestive texts and enters her apartment without invitation or permission;
If you believe that you have been subjected to sexual harassment in housing, contact us today at (212) 227-2100 to discuss your rights. The first phone call is always free.

Subsurface hydrosphere. The problems of basic hydrogeology

SUBSURFACE HYDROSPHERE. THE PROBLEMS OF BASIC HYDROGEOLOGY. - M.: Scientific World. 2011. - 260 p. Fig. 18. Tab. 61. Bibliogr. 284.
Hydrogeology is regarded as one of the fundamental directions of the Earth sciences, which was essential in the development of important geological processes and evolution of the Earth.
A quantitative estimate of the masses of all forms of water in the core shells of the Earth's crust and the mantle, and the mass fluxes of the global cycles of subsurface waters. The direction and kinetics of the interaction of rocks with groundwater are considered. The important of participation and patterns of subsurface water regime in the major exogenous and endogenous processes, including gypergenesis, lithogenesis, metamorphism, magmatism and volcanism are estimated. The role of subsurface water in the formation of geophysical fields of the Earth and the evolution of subsurface hydrosphere in the recent epoch. Comparative analysis of the distribution of water on the Earth and terrestrial planets show that on the Earth, where cycles are implemented subsurface water, covering the Earth's crust and the mantle, the conditions exists to compensate for the degassing and dehydration of the Earth to help sustain volcanism and the drift of tectonic plates during its evolution at a constant level.
Organizational structures that supervise the development of basic hydrogeology, including the Academy of Sciences, RFBR, international organization are considered.
For wide range of experts in the field of Earth sciences: hydrogeologists, tectonics, geophysics, geochemists, lithologists, engineering geologists, geoecologists, including students and postgraduate students.
