Advocating wellness is our primary mission, and nothing is more sacred to us than good nutrition. What our children will eat will affect them for the rest of their lives.
Long-term consequences of junk nutrition
A balanced diet is an important part of maintaining your child's healthy teeth and gums.
Good eating habits and food preferences are established in childhood.
Poor nutrition can eventually lead to poor health, obesity, tooth decay, and periodontal disease. Additionally when and how often a child eats may also adversely affect their teeth.
Bacteria in the mouth metabolize carbohydrates and simple sugars from the left over food debris and form acid, which decays teeth. It takes approximately 20 minutes for saliva to wash away this damaging acid, and so if your child is frequently snacking there will be a acidic environment for the teeth.
Carbohydrates, which are ultimately broken down to simple sugars may come in many hidden forms. Potato chips and pretzels for example are as cavity as lollipops.
Hang Time
The longer food can hang onto the surface of a tooth the greater the likelihood of forming cavities.
Foods like granola bars. Potato chips, pretzels, salted and peanut butter crackers, and cookies are the hang time champs. First runner up are figs, jelly beans, doughnuts and raisins. Followed by white bread, caramels and cream filled pastries.
Dental food facts
All things being equal if your child brushes regularly and gets sufficient fluoride, there's nothing wrong with snaking sensibly. Even if it includes the occasional candy! Especially if your child follows our five point preventive plan of:
1. Effectively brushing at least twice daily and flossing once daily
2. Sufficient fluoride
3. Receiving sealants on most permanent teeth
4. Seeing us at Kids Dental regularly
5. Having a healthy diet

Was it for health concerns? I played tennis 2/6 and as soon as summer came I threw swimming to the mix, not to mention running on Saturdays after the matches. I ate healthy, despite my relationship to sweets. I never was slim though. I had people call me fat when I was in my top performance.
Was it to impress and be liked by boys? Boys love a slim body, because that's what they're being told to like. My mother never wanted me to impress boys, she never cared about the men in my life, but she knew symmetry, beauty and fitting in was power. I think you can find beauty where you want to, but it's not her fault that she saw beauty in a fat-free body, that would fit in any design.
Was it to fit into those trendy clothes that were always a size smaller than I was? I guess so. But why? Why was looking good so important? Better ask yourself another question. Why was fitting in to the size that society liked and called beautiful so important? Why is/was fitting in so important?
Was it because a slimmer body always looks good? Why does a slimmer body always look better? People like you when you are average. Average: 'all the people put together to create the average face'. A face you can take a look at and see so many people. You watch the face and it reminds you of so many people, it looks familiar to you, and therefore you like it. It takes a higher mind to like something foreign and unfamiliar. Then again, what's familiar and unfamiliar is highly subjective. You can try to incorporate everything into yourself, so that everyone likes you.
So what's up with bodies?
It doesn't work the same way as with faces. Some think Bodies have a purpose, and the sole purpose of a body is to be able to preserve the DNA, and since everything is related, a beautiful body is a statement for good genes. The Hourglass though, means that you are more than capable of carrying and raising a child. The top down triangle means you are able to hunt and fight and secure food. I really don't think that it boils down to this. Having an Hourglass doesn't mean you are going to be a good genes preserver and if it does mean that, it means just that and nothing else more. But the hourglass is not what we are talking about. A slim body is now a glorified object, approved by society and if you want to fit in and be liked, well you know what to do.
Losing weight takes so much time. Sometimes I find myself working out and looking at the mirror non-stop to check the flatness of my belly. Down that rabbit hole I go sometimes. Then I stop eating, my diet becomes poor and I get obsessed with working out and eating as less as possible. Therefore I have to stop working out, because I automatically relate workout to loosing weight and I become obsessed. I check my priorities, and, my mental functioning is high up there. It needs food. So what is happening? Why are we linking movement and sports and playing to Weight loss? They are not related. Do it because it feels good, not because of the shallow and irrelevant goal that everyone seems to be chasing.
When I was applying at the Uni, I was constantly afraid that my weight could/ would affect my acceptance. I thought being fat was an indication for poor willpower as in no ability to accomplish what you set your mind to and what the society wants you to accomplish. Well, I never wanted to do that. I am not here to do what I am/will be told to do, if I don't personally agree with it. I have not lost weight because I never understood why I was being told to lose weight, why did I have to lose weight? It was a constant battle for me, because of not knowing why.
I am one of those overweight girls that has accomplished everything I have consciously decided to accomplish. It is worthless for you to stigmatise me just because I am not deciding to fit in, just because I do not like the standards of the society and just because I do not like what you like. Therefore I have realised you do not have to like me, or my body, neither my mind and my ideas. People have different likes, but it takes an open mind to realise what you really like, without being influenced by interfering media. Anyhow, Anyway you will have to respect my ideas, my efforts and my successes, the negative feedbacks that I get from my work and all what comes to people that try. In all that, please don't link my Work to my body. If I'm healthy all around, how much fat I have and how many seats my behinds occupy is not a Topic of discussion. Adaption, if it is going to go any further than this, is not in the body, is in the mind.
I want to take this chance and talk about the so called modern feminists that today's PopCulture is producing. The Hypocrites that claim beauty is not everything, but on the other hand use nothing but beauty and image to make it in the industry. Don't be fooled so easily. Maybe it is just the way that the industry works. Selling sex, objectifying females' body( and lately, as a part of this modern 'feminism' males' as well), transmitting little to no meaning and idea whatsoever and affecting audiences by pure marketing. The subconscious works in so many ways and levels, but that's not the truth. It is being covered by flashing smiles and slim bodies. After all, it is what we want, or do we want it because we are being told to want it? I think trend comes from the people.
To recap:
Not so important fitting in. Beauty is not everything, being healthy and thinking is much more important. Let us not be bedazzled by lights and vain sensation. Let us not be impressed by marketing. Think. Live long and prosper. Sing your own song. Happy and Healthy teenage years!
Post Scriptum
I am mostly writing this as a letter to my teenage self. I would devastate my body and my mind for days in order to lose weight, not knowing why I was doing it. I have answered my question to myself, and by writing it I hope it can serve as an answer to other girls who may have the same question. Anyways it's my point of view and I had to somehow let it out.
I guess I need to add more things, maybe soon.
—————I tend to forget my ideas—————grrr————but they come again soon————–till then———-I am satisfied—————–I can now go do my work—————————Period—————-Stop————————————–

- Direct and Indirect Economic Benefits of Ecologically Based Flows on the South Fork Snake River
Direct and Indirect Economic Benefits of Ecologically Based Flows on the South Fork Snake River
Project ID: 684
Principal Investigator: Chris Jansen-Lute
Research Topic: Water Operation Models and Decision Support Systems
Funded Fiscal Years: 2004
Keywords: None
Research Question
Hypothesis: Flow regimes that sustain healthy aquatic resource conditions provide direct and indirect economic benefits through recreation and tourism dollars.
Research Question: What are the direct and indirect (regional) economic affects of a high-quality recreational fishery through ecologically beneficial flow regimes on the South Fork Snake River.
Need and Benefit
Reclamation will soon complete Phase 1 of the Biologically Based System Management project, identifying flow regimes needed to maintain long-term aquatic health within system operational constraints on the South Fork Snake River.
Key to implementing these flow regimes is recognition that healthy ecosystems can meet contractual obligations, support aquatic resources, avoid Endangered Species Act listing, and contribute direct and indirect economic benefits to the regional economy.
Problem: There is a need for data which identifies the economic impacts of ecologically beneficial flow regimes.
Contribution of Research Output: Information that demonstrates how ecologically based flow regimes contribute positively to local economies, while meeting contractual obligations will help Reclamation meet a wide range of constiuent needs. These include hydropower, food control, biological, irrigation, and recreation needs.

Our laboratory is interested in the properties and dynamics of gap junction-mediated electrical transmission in the vertebrate brain. Because perhaps of the relative simplicity of transmission, electrical synapses are generally perceived as passive intercellular channels that lack dynamic control. While the study of plasticity of chemical synapses has long been an area of primary interest to neuroscientists, less is known about the modifiability of electrical synapses.
We investigate these dynamic properties in both mammalian and teleost (goldfish and larval zebrafish) electrical synapses. In contrast with mammalian electrical synapses that generally have limited experimental access, lower vertebrates have provided with advantageous experimental models in which basic properties of electrical transmission can be more easily study. This is the case of identifiable auditory afferents terminating on teleost Mauthner cells known as "Large Myelinated Club endings". These endings are "mixed" (electrical and chemical) synaptic contacts that offer the rare opportunity to correlate physiological properties with molecular composition and specific ultrastructural features of individual synapses. Gap junctions at these model synapses undergo activity-dependent potentiation and are mediated by fish homologs of connexin 36, which is widely distributed across the mammalian brain.
Our current work focuses on the mechanisms underlying activity-dependent changes in electrical synapses by investigating:
Thus, while focusing in the properties of electrical synapses, the research of our laboratory explores the complexity of synaptic transmission and signaling mechanisms in general.

Hi all, this is a whole dang thing but would really appreciate your input.
In brief: is it a practice for concept artists to be hired by independent producers for NO PAY in pre-production before the movie even gets funded?
I'm deeply disturbed by a recent experience, I was approached by a guy who works at a bar who said he could help me with finding an art job. I later meet him and over coffee he reveals that he's producing a film with an estimated 60 million dollar budget. He wants me to do concept design for his film. Including characters' costuming, weapons, etc. He goes through his concept, and shows me three storyboard pages on an ipad. Some other person is currently working on these storyboards.
However the meeting lasts about three hours, and I never get to talk once. I felt I'd humor him and just listen to what his movie is about. I ask about payment and he says don't worry about it you will get paid. "You can buy your mother a house" etc. when the film is successful. He says I would also get a 'point' along with payment. No details about payment were hashed out. He said he'd have a contract and details later.
So the next step he said was to meet up with his main actress and a backer. I'm going to be a part of his inside "team". I sit there and let them lead the discussion but I'm already annoyed because something feels off. Also he talks on the phone in front of me or talks in another language to this person in front of me too, for minutes on end, which is rude and wasting my time because this is supposed to be a "meeting".
The actress likes me, whatever. I'm being pleasant but have no idea where this is all going. They're telling me I have no idea what I've gotten myself into and that I'm lucky to be a part of this huge project.
I don't even know this guy's last name. He is nowhere on the internet. I don't know the title of his movie even. Or his past work experience. He says he's working on the script.
So apparently I'm "in" and we arrange to meet up again, and I'm expecting to talk business and to actually START on something, anything, but yet again he gives me more details about what he wants his movie to be about, and is just endlessly talking. But he bought me a sandwich so whatever. He says he will send me the movie details that afternoon after I leave. The email ends up consisting of three crappy images of the sort of designs he's looking for and a badly composed long email about it.
Now I'm really annoyed because there's NO REAL information I've been given about ANYTHING related to compensation.
So -annoyed- I arrange for a meeting the next day (he insists to meet in person) to talk business. I'm expecting him to have some kind of contract which is what he had been talking about. We meet and finally get to the point that he doesn't have the money for his film YET but he wants to approach funders with not only the script and storyboards but also concept art - basically having most of the pre-production already done.
Which obviously would mean that he can't pay me for anything I do.
And then I know there are other complications with copyrights.
But he's assuring me I could make thousands. and that he knows how people take advantage of artists, and women, etc. - again he talks endlessly like some sort of salesperson but I have no idea if what he's saying is just trying to manipulate me into some kind of agreement.
So now I'm overwhelmed with this yet another time wasting situation in which someone is asking for art for free in Los Angeles. I've been a part of it before, people have taken advantage of me in HUGE ways and affected me to the point of severe depression once. So I actually start crying in front of this guy in Starbucks, trying to explain that I NEED SOMETHING ON PAPER to even begin with anything. And I'm so, SO frustrated that after about 10 hours I've spent in stupid pointless meetings with this guy he has not emailed or given me ANYTHING to show to me in terms of industry standard contracts.
He's only shown me (via his ipad) storyboards which his friend is doing ('I'm pretty sure for no pay), and some sort of document also on an ipad which was a summary/listing of the movie's info, including some big-name actors listed.
I'm new to this but all I know is that this is all tentative. And he doesn't have funding. He keeps talking about his rich 'brother' who has backed films like spiderman, etc. He keeps throwing out all these "facts" about how I should trust him, etc.
His movie is a projected 60 million and who even is this guy?!
So with the emotions high and me almost yelling at him at one point, I give him hourly rates (because I don't know how long this all will take, I have no idea about anything and judging by the sheer amount of how much this guy talks, I could expect endless edits and renditions..)
and we come to a consensus that I WILL be paid something for my work as I do it even if it's out of his own pocket. He said he'd talk to his lawyer and get back to me.
I have not been a part of the concept art industry, I haven't freelanced, and I haven't worked on any official films.
How do independent films looking for artists even typically work?! How is the hiring process dealt with, how are contracts presented, what is the copyrighting like? Isn't a film supposed to be already backed and funded and good for production BEFORE the producer goes looking for concept designers to work on pre-production?!!
All I know is that I DO NOT WORK FOR FREE.
And this guy is asking for a major investment of my time and talent, and for what? He can't even produce any formal documents for me at meeting #4!!!!
SO this all ended with me being fed up and texting him that I will no longer take calls or meetings with him until he can produce a legitimate document for me.
He texted back: "I sent your prices to my lawyer yesterday and i was ready to call you tomorrow and give you $300 to start + the contract. but apparently it seems you have some issues with me so I prefer to stop everything."
I simply texted back "I'm just saying I wanted to see the contract before any more talking. If you have something, please send."
I'm super angry and feeling like he has wasted so much of my time. And NOW he throws a tantrum just because I set a boundary with my time?!!!!
I have seldom met anyone who talks as much as this asshole. Endless. Big ideas, blah blah, more big ideas. Where's the proof?!! Why isn't his film funded?! Why is he looking for a 'team' of "friends" to work with him for free like a startup based on blind loyalty? Why didn't he tell me that in the first place?
I've been in a similar situation before where some startup guy slickly worded around the fact that I'd be working for him for free until business picked up. It took a week and him refusing to pay me anything to realize that I misunderstood the agreement, or it simply wasn't vocalized - I was basically just tricked into working for free. And I've learned that even with "friends," verbal agreements ARE NOT VALID and everything needs to be on paper. Always. And I always need to be paid for my work.
Please let me know your opinions. I have no experience in film although I did study animation in school but of course we were never taught how to deal with "Hollywood" situations like this. Or independent filmmakers and contractors.
I'm not crazy or being too distrustful, right? This guy is being a total dick and I have no proof of legitimacy !

Talking Mega10 at Station Casinos
October 31, 2017 3:10 AM
by Pesach Kremen
Station Casinos has its own keno progressives for six through nine spots and joins Mega10 Megakeno for the statewide 10-spot progressive, which has surpassed $2.2M and continues to grow.
Of special interest is Station's 9-spot progressive, now at $98,000 and rising. While it is far from break even as far as house or player advantage is concerned, the pay table makes for some interesting fun.
Many casinos have different pays for all kinds of different reasons and the logic of them would be a challenge even for the late Captain Spock. Station starts paying on 4 spots for their 9-spot progressive. This is what makes this play so interesting. Players want to get something back to encourage more play and this pay table does just that. Here are the pays for the Station Casino 9-spot progressive:
• Catch 4-of-9 receive $1 your bet returned
• Catch 5-of-9 receive $3
• Catch 6-of-9 receive $30
• Catch 7-of-9 receive $300
• Catch 8-of-9 receive $3,000
• Catch 9-of-9 – win it all – The Progressive jackpot, which starts at $60,000 and is now over $98,000 and rising.
Since the Station progressives are only $1 per ticket except for the Mega 10 Megakeno, which is $1.50 per ticket or way, you can play some way tickets to get more action and improve your chances to hit the big one, albeit at a higher cost.
For simplicity you could play the Mega 10 Megakeno on a separate ticket for $1.50 and then the 6, 7, 8, 9 on a way ticket to catch the rest of the progressives at $1 per way.
Simplest of course and cheapest is to group your numbers as 6, 2, 1 giving you a 6, a 7, an 8, and a 9. Of course you would have to hit the 6 SOLID to win any of the progressives thus lets break up the 6 in to two 3s (which automatically doubles the number of ways possible for the 6) grouping 3-3-2-1, which gives you a 9, an 8, a 7, and TWO 6s for a total ticket cost of $5, a good play.
If you are a $10 bettor (are you a better bettor playing $10?) break up the deuce (group of 2) in to two kings (a single number group). Now you have a grouping of 3-3-1-1-1, giving you a 9, three 8s, three 7s, and three 6s for a total ticket cost of $10.
Give in your slot card when you play to get comp credit (on Tuesdays they give you triple credit). This way you will get lots of action and you will get something back if you hit 4 of your 9 numbers, sometimes if you even hit only 3 of your 9 numbers, depending on how your three numbers are distributed in the groups.
Keno has a distinct advantage over many of the other games offered in the casino as it is the easiest game to play while keeping complete control of your bankroll as the games are 5 to 10 minutes apart and you do not need to add money to your bet in the middle of the game as you can do in other games. (For example, if you are dealt two 8s in blackjack, a very bad hand, you can increase your chances by splitting the 8s in to two separate hands at the cost of an added bet; well worth it in this case.)
Going further, if you are a high roller (you had too much to drink or are playing on the second floor) you could even break up one of the 3-spot groups into a 2-1 or even 1-1-1 to give you more ways, albeit costing more for the added ways.
As info, a ticket grouped 3-2-1-1-1-1 gives you a 9, four 8s, seven 7s, and nine 6s for a total ticket cost of $21.
Another way for you high rollers is to drop a king and play groups of 3-2-2-1-1, giving you a 9, two 8s, three 7s, and five 6s for a total ticket cost of $11.
If you want to make the groups really easy to hit play only deuces and kings such as 2-2-2-1-1-1, giving you a 9, three 8s, six 7s, and 10 sixes. The latter would be good if you feel the six-spot has gotten high enough to warrant the additional action.
As added information Station Casinos, along with the Boyd properties have kept their buffet prices reasonable and give discounts for slot card holders, even those with minimal play on their card.
Many of them have their own shuttle system and are easy to get to as well by the transit system in Las Vegas (go to rtcsnv.com for specific details on routes and schedules).
The progressives make for exciting keno but even if you like to play very small amounts they have a five and dime rate where if you play $5 worth of games you can play 100 games for a nickel per game or 50 games for a dime a game.
Good action hopefully brings good luck. Check it out!
