This post with my Butterscotch Cheesecake Dip Recipe is part of a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Target. All opinions are my own. #TargetRun #MyTargetEssentials
Fall is here and bringing party season with it! I love serving dips at parties, but they don't always have to be savory. Check out our butterscotch cheesecake dip that you can serve with a variety of dippers.
There are several things I love about fall. The weather is finally starting to cool off and the leaves start changing into beautiful colors. But, probably as no surprise, my favorite thing about fall is all the fall flavors that start popping up everywhere. Yes, I will admit that I do love pumpkin spice lattes, but I'm also a big fan of other fall flavors like caramel, apples, cinnamon, and butterscotch. So, when I was browsing in Target to pick up a few things the other day, I couldn't resist checking out some of their new fall products like these deliciously crispy (but not teeth-breaking) Archer Farms Caramel Apple Biscotti.
While biscotti goes great with coffee and tea, I also think it makes for a great dipper idea. And, since we love having friends over for drinks and appetizers, I always like having a new dip recipe up my sleeve. However, dips don't always have to be savory. So, inspired by Target's fall products and my own favorite flavors, I couldn't resist trying out this Butterscotch Cheesecake Dip recipe to use the biscotti as a dipper in. This easy cheesecake dip recipe has only four ingredients and takes just a few minutes to put together. There's no cooking involved, and you can even make this dessert dip ahead of time and leave it in the fridge until ready to serve.
Along with the biscotti, I also served the butterscotch cheesecake dip with pretzel sticks, apple and pear slices, and graham crackers. I think the Archer Farms Cinnamon Sweet Potato Chips and Archer Farms Cinnamon Caramel Apple Pita Chips would go great with this dip as well. Here's how easy it is to put together.
The Archer Farms caramel apple biscotti is also a great treat to go with morning coffee. As you can see, Mr. Savvy gets a bit hangry until he has his. ;)
Butterscotch Cheesecake Dip Recipe
- 1 8-oz block of cream cheese, softened
- 1 3.4-oz box of butterscotch instant pudding mix (unprepared)
- 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional garnishes: additional whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice mix
Place softened cream cheese in a medium bowl and sprinkle butterscotch pudding mix over the top.
With a hand mixer (or you can use a stand mixer), whip the cheese and pudding mix together at a medium to medium-high speed until cheese is smooth and pudding mix has been completely incorporated (no clumps of dry mix).
Add in whipped cream or whipped topping and vanilla extract and mix on a medium-low speed until thoroughly combined and uniform in color. If the dip happens to be too thick for your liking, you can mix in a tablespoon of milk or cream at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
Serve immediately or tightly wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
When serving, I like to top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice mix to make it look extra pretty.
Serve with dippers like Archer Farms caramel apple biscotti, pretzels, sweet potato chips, fruits, graham crackers, etc.
Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
What would you dip into this Butterscotch Cheesecake Dip recipe?
What's your #TargetRun?

Skulls & Roses Season 1 All Episodes
|Hot as Hell
|The boys and girls have a bikini party on Rose Island to really get to know each other. While some are excited for the party, others have already started to plot and plan. On Skull Island, Raghu awaits the contestants who were unable to share chemistry, and turns up the heat on their asses, literally! The contestants run for their lives... Who will get sent home first?
|The First Touch
|Rajiv gets creative and dirty, allowing the couples to really get to know their partners' bodies. The group tries to play it safe, but it backfires on Manasvi and Afreen, who become Raghu's personal targets for deprivation. The girls backstab each other causing a shocking elimination. All is fair in love and war, right?
|Moans and Screams!
|Just as the group starts to feel comfortable, Rajiv shakes things up with a reshuffle. With new partners, couples must get to know each other fast – or as quickly as it takes to orgasm! Kajal and Utsav's love is put to the ultimate test and Sahil receives his first of many abuses.
|How well do the contestants know the Kamasutra? That's exactly what Rajiv wants to find out! Sahil and Angel's relationship intensifies in the bedroom. The contestants are shocked when Raghu questions their intelligence. Betrayal ensues and the elimination leaves everyone speechless, except for one!
|We're Baaaack!
|New relationships, old faces. Surprise! The eliminated contestants get a shot at revenge by returning to the competition. Tempers boil over and old relationships lead to crazy confrontations. Which pair makes it back into the game to shake things up?
|An Angel from Hell!
|Utsav finally learns a lesson and finds a new connection, making Kajal extremely jealous. Not to worry though, as Vipin capitalizes on the situation. Betrayal has become all too common on Skull Island and Angel finally lets loose on Sahil! The most dramatic and loudest elimination yet!
|It's Between Me or Her!
|It's the girls' turn! The boys are safe this time, but the girls are given the opportunity to make it straight into the semi-finale. Utsav becomes even more confused as his love triangle with Kajal and Nansi heats up. Who said love isn't painful?
|You Can't Trust Anybody
|Now it's the boys' turn! Utsav and Nansi are finally together without their third wheel, but they have a brutal plan to shake up the dynamics. No friendship is left untouched and a never-seen-before event happens during elimination leaving everyone in tears and anger. You can't trust anybody…
|Tug of Love
|Raghu warned them in the beginning- In order to win, you will need to betray! Now, that's Kanan's only option against Lydia if she wants to avoid coupling up with Sahil. One pair makes it through to the finale, while the others are forced to carry their partner's weight. Rajiv and Raghu are left stunned, but turn to the group for help…
|The Final Dilemma
|You think you know, but you have no idea! Three couples remain, but there's only room for two. One couple will join Lydia and Vipin for a chance at winning the grand prize. The final trap is the most challenging, both mentally and physically. But hold on, you don't think Rajiv and Raghu would let them win that easy, did you? The ultimate question is finally answered… We or Me?

Magic maker
Not long ago, Professor Mary-Anne Williams posted a photo on her Twitter account of a robot changing a baby's nappy. There is another amusing video on YouTube, she says with a twinkle in her voice, of a robot fetching itself a cold beer from the fridge. How marvellous.
They have a similar robot (a PR2 called GUTSY) — the only robot of its kind in Australia — in The Magic Lab which she founded at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) 15 years ago. If they wanted a robot to do the morning coffee run and be proactive enough to pick up a few of the staff's favourite muffins as well, her team could certainly program it.
Williams specialises in social robotics — the art of making a machine not just functionally intelligent, but emotionally and socially intelligent as well.
Her Innovation and Enterprise Research Laboratory is so cutting edge, and so well regarded internationally, that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Peter Gardenfors — Sweden's top cognitive scientist and a member of the Nobel Prize Committee for Economics — both visit Sydney to engage with her team.
"We're not looking to commercialise some little idea," Williams — one of an incredibly small number of women working in robotics globally — says of what attracted such international names to her UTS lab.
"We're looking to put a dent in the Universe. We want to have a massive impact, so we're only interested in fundamental research questions working to find insights that will enable us to pursue high-orbit innovation."
It must feel a long way from the rural lifestyle she grew up in, as the daughter of a third generation publican in the New South Wales (NSW) town of Glen Innes. Certainly, her parents likely never imagined where her early academic ambition would lead.
"My great-grandfather owned and built 16 hotels across the country, the hotel I grew up in was built in 1906 and held for 100 years. I got into science at the University of Sydney but my parents wanted me to stay in the hotel business. My father insisted I work at the hotel and consider the life of a publican.
An avid horse rider, she decided instead to join the NSW Mounted Police. Much to her surprise, and horror, women were not allowed to apply.
"That was 1979, can you believe it? In my lifetime! But I discovered I could go to Canada and join the Mounties, so I was making all these plans until one of my cousins, who was training to be a priest, heard my father had put the kybosh on me going to university and convinced him to let me go to University of New England, as long as I came back to the hotel on Friday nights to work.
"I learned to program in Chemistry while having to compute the location of electrons around a Hydrogen atom." But Williams went on to do a PhD in Computer Science, worked for MLC computerising the way they manage superannuation funds, and became increasingly interested in artificial intelligence.
"At the time people were thinking that chess was the benchmark artificial intelligence problem. Making a robot play chess was thought to be the pinnacle," she says with a hint of irony. Talking to Williams, it soon becomes clear the pinnacle is far more breath-taking than that.
In August this year, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Stockland Group announced they would begin exploring the disruptive potential of social robots.
It's a game-changer in Australia. 'Chip', as it is known, has been programmed by Williams and her team of social robotics innovators. Their job is to give Chip social intelligence, so that (unlike what she calls "factory robots" that are used in mechanised production processes) Chip can interact with and help people be more productive.
"You watch a robot get beer from the fridge and it is simply following instructions. It has no representation of what a fridge is, what people are, what beer is for — just like a Coke dispensing machine works without knowing what Coke is.
Transposing that to a home or office environment will not work, she says. They need to be able to interact, communicate, cooperate and collaborate.
That is what makes Williams work so special. "Knowing what people know is critical to communication working in any social setting," she says. "So if robots can have some model of what people know, and their intentions, then the robot will be a lot more enjoyable to work with.
"From a research perspective it's absolutely fascinating because we had to study people. People are proof of concept for artificial intelligence."
Modern day robotics, she says, is the future. "When we can build a capability in a robot, we have understood and mastered it."
Williams, who is also attached to the CODEX centre at Stanford University in the United States doing work on the ethics and issues of privacy with robotics, says it's good to have a healthy scepticism about the potential.
"Robots collect a lot of data, so what if someone hacks your robot, can they download images of you? And if your robot is helping you in your home, should it turn away when you drop your towel to go in to the shower?"
They are unanswered questions, but it shouldn't stop people like Williams exploring the science behind giving robots common sense reasoning, as children learn it, or to predict how people behave using programmable algorithms.
After all, wouldn't it be nice if your robot knew that you needed a cold beer from the fridge even before you did?

Doctor Who's Snazzy Scarf for New Year's Special Revealed!
A new photo released by the official Doctor Who Twitter shows that even without the Christmas special, the New Year's Special looks to give that holiday look. The Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), who is rocking the scene with a snazzy scarf!
Since 2005, the world of Doctor Who has kept fans in a festive mood on Christmas Day. However, this all changes for this season's Doctor Who. BBC has announced and revealed that they will be doing a New Year's Special that will be replacing the Yuletide Christmas Special that has been far too familiar for Whovians for the last 13 years!
Early November solidified this announcement by the BBC, who had made the decision by penning the event as, "Who Year's Day."
"We're delighted the Doctor and her companions will be welcoming BBC One audiences into 2019 with this exciting new episode. The Doctor's fans are in for a special treat on the first day of the new year," said Charlotte Moore, Director of Content.
One Snazzy Scarf for Doctor Who!
The actual title of the episode—which will be penned by Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall and directed by Wayne Yip—has yet to actually be revealed, but the first synopsis has been released alongside the image of the Doctor and her friends, as they appear to be investigating a strange new threat that will be coming to them for this New Year's Special.
As the BBC's official Doctor Who Twitter page reads:
More Details Revealed – As the New Year begins, a terrifying evil is stirring, from across the centuries of Earth's history. As the Doctor, Ryan, Graham and Yaz return home, will they be able to overcome the threat to planet Earth? #DoctorWho . pic.twitter.com/NVJtr9fidS
— Doctor Who Official (@bbcdoctorwho) November 27, 2018
Although many Whovians will be at a loss of words on the lack of an episode this Christmas, one thing to keep a sharp eye on is the snazzy scarf Doctor Who is wearing for the New Year's Special. The new photo has surfaced online on the New Year's special, which been released on Twitter by BBC, showing off Doctor Who donning a snazzy scarf.
If anything, the real question is what will come next for the Doctor after the New Year's Special!
A Snazzy Scarf and The Future of Doctor Who!
Besides the snazzy scarf that is present to keep a somewhat holiday spirit for this forthcoming episode; what does this shift say about the outlook on the rest of the season?
Many Whovians have cited the ups and downs from this season as a difficult run, to say the least, with many pointing out that the cancellation of the Christmas episode to be yet another sign that the writers are running out of ideas. However, ratings for the show have also argued that things are only getting better.
Not to mention that the decision may have been the result of a number of factors, including a shift into different territory with the special, competitive viewing, or more time on the writer's part for a story as grand as this one is shaping up to be!
Whovians can expect to see that snazzy scarf and the New Year's Special Jan. 1, 2019.
And for those out of the loop, be sure to catch up on the upcoming Doctor Who episodes. Episodes 9 and 10 air on the BBC this December, so stay tuned!

Yesterday, while doing a video diary with Jessie I asked her what she wants me to do with her old clothes. She said she had been thinking about it and (get ready, this is a good one) she wants to make them into a quilt. I, of course, loved this idea. It gets better. She wants to donate it to someone who doesn't have a loving home like she does.
Much as I loved the idea, I kinda, sorta, well, okay, really want that quilt for me.
Thought I would share what I considered a special moment.

I'm Not Going To Let You Abuse My Daughter Like You Abused Me
We all know about domestic violence – hurting someone physically. But what about emotional abuse? What about emotional torture?Share this quote
Ever since day one of my marriage, emotional violence has been prevalent in my life. Right from the time when I get up every day, what to eat and what to wear, how to talk and whom to be friends with, when should I meet my parents and above all, whether to give birth to a girl or a boy, is all dictated to me word by word to the extent that I have now forgotten my own identity, the things I had once mastered so well have now long gone. I should not groom myself because according to them it is just a waste of money and energy. Maintaining hygiene for my baby and myself is also not acceptable. Asking for something is like wasting my own energy because I seem to be screaming into a void. Abusing my parents comes naturally to them. My daughter can never be a part of their life because she is a girl, and so she cannot complete our family.
I have something to say to my abusers:Share this quote
Get off my back people! Or should I say, f*ck off people, who are you to decide my life? If I continue to let this happen to me, your next target would be my daughter. And she will not be your next victim because I will not allow it. I refuse to accept that.
Doing chores is my responsibility, and you judging me every time for every little thing is apparently your responsibility. If I talk in front of your guests, I am ill-mannered. And when you call me names and abuse me in front of others then you are being civilized, right?Share this quote
I have tried hard and I am still trying, to bring my useless life back on track. A deadline for this has also been set. I don't know what exactly I will do. Where would I go? How would I execute my plan? But my decision is final to set myself and my daughter free from this manipulation.
I know, it would be extremely difficult and challenging to start things from scratch but I have to take this chance for a better future for my daughter and myself.Share this quote
Share this story to let victims of abuse know that the world stands with them.

A reader (who is an Assistant Professor at a large public university) sent me the following email this morning:
"I have an issue that I've been wondering about that might be helpful to discuss on your blog.
The issue is this: what makes a philosophy paper good? What makes one bad?
Here's the context: I often hear philosophers make statements like, "most philosophy papers are crap", or "the philosophy journals are clogged up with junk", or, of course, the famous "90% of everything [including philosophy papers] are crap" rule.
My impression, though, is different. I think I've only ever come across two papers that are crappy -- one that I reviewed for publication for a journal (I said "reject") and one that I read about six or seven years ago (which, if I read it again, I might conclude is good). My impression of every other paper I've ever read is either something like, "this is fantastic!" or "I would be very pleased if I had written this" or "this is good". I'm serious: I think just about every philosophy paper I read is good.
So, I'm wondering, what makes a philosophy paper good? What makes one bad?
Here are some considerations that I believe contribute to making a paper good:
(1) It shows a nice grasp of the literature, bringing articles to my attention that I hadn't noticed before;
(2) It puts familiar ideas in a new way that makes me see significance to them that I hadn't seen before;
(3) It puts forward a clever argument for a plausible or an implausible conclusion.
(4) It's written beautifully or very clearly.
(5) It draws heretofore-unnoticed-by-me connections between works (this is especially important for exegetical papers).
(6) It persuades me of something I didn't believe before, or it at least moves me closer to adopting a position I hadn't adopted before.
I think just about every paper I've ever read does at least one of (1)-(6), so I think just about every paper I've seen published in philosophy, or even heard presented, is good.
By contrast, I've heard some philosophers say things like, "the ontological argument is a terrible argument", which I find to be a shocking and unbelievable statement. Even if you're not persuaded by the ontological argument to believe in the existence of a greatest conceivable being, I find it to be massively creative, provocative, and useful for advancing the field of philosophy. By contrast, other philosophers seem to think that, since they're not convinced by it, it's bad, or that, since it's (perhaps) invalid, it's bad.
Anyway, I thought I would bring the above to your attention because your blog seemed like a good place to discuss this issue."
Any thoughts?

Hosting physician panels is a bit like herding smart cats. It can also be expensive. But it's usually well worth the trouble and cost in gathering new-product intelligence.
Check out my free, limited-time offer.
Is a potential future threat to medical-device makers in the works?
In April and May of 2013 we recruited and engaged two physician panels in order to assess potential market interest in a new method for patient assessment at the point of care. Our intent was to solicit the participation of key opinion leaders (KOLs), a total of eight target clinicians and laboratorians over 2-day periods. Our efforts were successful in guiding our client in future development of their unique technology.
These important methodologies reminded me of some basic truths I've learned over the years in the recruitment and management of these in-person meetings of physician groups. I'd like to share some of my suggestions with you in the hope that they will encourage you to consider this vehicle for product-concept research and perhaps avoid some missteps in the process.
As a starting point, consider my thoughts in the brief entitled "Gaining Clinical Insight: Physician Panels". Please share some of your own experiences as well.
My no-fee offer
We've encountered a brief Spring hiatus at Trilogy Associates, from which you can benefit. I'm feeling generous enough to offer you some no-fee feedback on:
Will hospitals and doctors become medical-product producers?
My question is a serious one. It's stimulated by a recent article by Marilyn Marchione of the Associated Press entitled "Doctors save Ohio boy by printing an airway tube." This fascinating article describes the efforts of doctors at the University of Michigan Health System to fabricate an airway splint to repair a birth defect in a three-month-old boy. They actually "printed out" 100 tiny tubes using plastic particles and a 3-D laser printer and implanted one of them in the youngster. It worked! The child is now 19 months old and doing well.
This wonderful result conjures up an interesting question: Will hospitals and physicians someday become routine producers of medical devices manufactured using
3-D printers and implanted or otherwise applied in patient care? The prospect boggles the mind and raises many questions. How might the capabilities of these new producers and the quality of their products be assured? How will conformance with product specs be demonstrated? Will these processes be regulated by FDA, and if so how? What product volumes might be realistically achievable. Will such activities compromise the success of today's medtech manufacturers?

Ok, so I'm cruising the (e)bay, trolling for deals on exotic blades and razors to satiate my various ADs, and a thought hits me. I see these guys selling bulk packs of blades, and the numbers start crunching in my head.
Okay, let's say I want to buy 100 blades of "Scrayp–ur-face" brand blades, you know, the ones with "polychromic titani-platinum microsurface nano-edges and hand laser-etched blood-wicking grooves to keep your weepers clean." Let's say for the ease of math that these things cost $25.00 US with no shipping. Alright, that comes out to .25 a blade right? So, if Razordood_127 can sell me those blades at .25 a piece, what's he paying for them? I'm guessing around .15 a blade, a clear .10 per profit. Not too shabby. I'm all for Razordood_127 getting a little on the side for acting as a middleman and getting me my blades that are only available in stores in Lower Slobberonia, but my question is this:
When Razordood_127 decides he wants to sell blades, where does he go to get the blades for .15 a piece? I'm assuming he has to buy a half-million blades to get that price, and are there really enough of us out there using those blades to warrant that big of a purchase? I mean, there's got to be at least another half dozen guys selling those very same Scrayp–ur-face blades, making that same .10 per blade… and if it only costs Razordood_127 .15 a blade, that means that the manufacturer probably makes them for less than a penny apiece, leaving me wondering why they don't just sell them direct at .20 and cut out the middleman, thus giving the end consumer a better deal and possibly selling more blades. Because hey, at that price, I can afford to change a blade every 3 shaves instead of my usual 7.

Porcelain veneers have become a popular way to transform a smile. They're ideal for stained, chipped or slightly misaligned teeth. But although they don't need as much tooth preparation as crowns or other bridgework, the traditional veneer still requires some permanent tooth alteration.
Now, there's an alternative: no-prep veneers. With this option we can avoid any tooth structure removal or keep it to a minimum. And it may not even require local anesthesia while applying them.
Veneers are as their name implies: a wafer-thin layer of tooth-colored porcelain that's bonded to the outside of a tooth, much like siding on a house. Although the traditional veneer is usually no more than a millimeter in width, they can still add an unnatural bulky look and feel to a tooth. To compensate, we remove portions of the enamel. A tooth permanently altered this way will henceforth require some form of restoration.
No-prep veneers are much thinner; they also don't extend under the gum line like traditional veneers. At the most the new veneers may only require us to perform some minor reshaping of the enamel, but not to the extent of traditional veneers. And because your tooth isn't permanently altered, we could presumably remove the veneer and return the tooth to its natural state and appearance (although removing the bonding might not be that easy).
There are some situations where some tooth alteration may still be necessary, like oversized or forward-jutting teeth. A bad bite (malocclusion) may require orthodontic treatment first — which in some cases could be an alternative treatment to veneers altogether.
To find out if you're a candidate for no-prep veneers, visit us for a complete examination. From there we can discuss your options and whether we can transform your smile with little change to your teeth.
If you would like more information on cosmetic solutions like porcelain veneers, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.
Ever since childhood, when her career as a model and actress took off, Brooke Shields has enjoyed worldwide recognition — through advertisements for designer jeans, appearances on The Muppet Show, and starring roles in big-screen films. But not long ago, that familiar face was spotted in an unusual place: wearing a nasal anesthesia mask at the dentist's office. In fact, Shields posted the photo to her own Instagram account, with the caption "More dental surgery! I grind my teeth!" And judging by the number of comments the post received, she's far from alone.
In fact, researchers estimate that around one in ten adults have dental issues that stem from teeth grinding, which is also called bruxism. (Many children also grind their teeth, but it rarely causes serious problems, and is often outgrown.) About half of the people who are teeth grinders report problems like persistent headaches, jaw tenderness and sore teeth. Bruxism may also result in excessive tooth wear, and may damage dental work like crowns and bridges; in severe cases, loosened or fractured teeth have been reported.
Researchers have been studying teeth grinding for many years; their findings seem to indicate that it has no single cause. However, there are a number of factors that play a significant role in this condition. One is the anatomy of the jaw itself, and the effect of worn or misaligned teeth on the bite. Another factor relates to changes in brain activity that occur during the sleep cycle. In fact, nocturnal (nighttime) bruxism is now classified as a sleep-related movement disorder. Still other factors, such as the use of tobacco, alcohol and drugs, and a high level of stress or anxiety, can make an individual more likely to experience bruxism.
What can be done for people whose teeth grinding is causing problems? Since this condition may have many causes, a number of different treatments are available. Successful management of bruxism often begins by striving to eliminate the factors that may cause problems — for example, making lifestyle changes to improve your health, creating a soothing nighttime environment, and trying stress-reduction techniques; these may include anything from warm baths and soft music at bedtime, to meditation and mindfulness exercises.
Several dental treatments are also available, including a custom-made occlusal guard (night guard) that can keep your teeth from being damaged by grinding. In some cases, a bite adjustment may also be recommended: In this procedure, a small amount of enamel is removed from a tooth to change the way it contacts the opposite tooth, thereby lessening the biting force on it. More invasive techniques (such as surgery) are rarely needed.
A little tooth grinding once in a while can be a normal response to stress; in fact, becoming aware of the condition is often the first step to controlling it. But if you begin to notice issues that could stem from bruxism — or if the loud grinding sounds cause problems for your sleeping partner — it may be time to contact us or schedule an appointment. You can read more about bruxism in the Dear Doctor magazine article "Stress and Tooth Habits."
You may be able to slow the aging process with healthy habits but you can't stop it. Every part of your body will change, including your teeth and gums. And even with great dental hygiene and care, there are at least two aging outcomes you may not be able to avoid: discoloration and tooth wear.
Fortunately though, we have ways to counteract these effects and help you enjoy a much younger-looking smile. These techniques range in complexity and cost, but when tailored to your individual situation they can make a world of difference and restore your confidence in your smile.
Brightening teeth that have yellowed with age can be as simple as undergoing teeth whitening. The bleaching solution in this procedure (performed in the office or at home with a prescribed kit) can minimize enamel staining built up over the years. It can even be performed with some control over the level of desired brightness. Although whitening isn't permanent, with proper care and regular touch-ups you can keep your youthful, dazzling smile for some time.
Tooth whitening, however, may not be enough in some cases of discoloration. If so, you can gain a bright new smile with porcelain veneers or crowns. A veneer is a thin layer of tooth-colored material bonded to the front of a tooth; a porcelain crown completely covers a tooth and is usually cemented onto it.
Normal tooth wearing can also affect the appearance of older teeth, making them look shorter and with less rounded edges than younger teeth. Veneers and crowns can be utilized for this problem too, as well as enamel shaping with a dental drill to minimize those sharp edges and project a softer, younger appearance. In extreme cases, surgically reshaping the gums can give teeth a longer and a more natural look.
These are just a few of the ways we can address these two aging problems, as well as others like receding gums. Depending on your situation, it's quite possible we can help you take years off your smile.
If you would like more information on cosmetic answers to aging teeth, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.

R143 Recommendation concerning Protection and Facilities to be Afforded to Workers' Representatives in the Undertaking
Geneva, 23 giugno 1971
The General Conference of the International Labour Organisation,
Having been convened at Geneva by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office, and having met in its Fifty-sixth Session on 2 June 1971, and,
Having adopted the Workers' Representatives Convention, 1971, and
Having decided upon the adoption of certain proposals with regard to protection and facilities afforded to workers' representatives in the undertaking, which is the fifth item on the agenda of the session, and
Having determined that these proposals shall take the form of a Recommendation,
adopts this twenty-third day of June of the year one thousand nine hundred and seventy-one, the following Recommendation, which may be cited as the Workers' Representatives Recommendation, 1971:
I. Methods of Implementation
1. Effect may be given to this Recommendation through national laws or regulations or collective agreements, or in any other manner consistent with national practice.
II. General Provisions
2. For the purpose of this Recommendation the term workers' representatives means persons who are recognised as such under national law or practice, whether they are:
(a) trade union representatives, namely representatives designated or elected by trade unions or by the members of such unions; or
(b) elected representatives, namely representatives who are freely elected by the workers of the undertaking in accordance with provisions of national laws or regulations or of collective agreements and whose functions do not include activities which are recognised as the exclusive prerogative of trade unions in the country concerned.
3. National laws or regulations, collective agreements, arbitration awards or court decisions may determine the type or types of workers' representatives which should be entitled to the protection and facilities provided for in this Recommendation.
4. Where there exist in the same undertaking both trade union representatives and elected representatives, appropriate measures should be taken, wherever necessary, to ensure that the existence of elected representatives is not used to undermine the position of the trade unions concerned or their representatives and to encourage co-operation on all relevant matters between the elected representatives and the trade unions concerned and their representatives.
III. Protection of Workers' Representatives
5. Workers' representatives in the undertaking should enjoy effective protection against any act prejudicial to them, including dismissal, based on their status or activities as a workers' representative or on union membership or participation in union activities, in so far as they act in conformity with existing laws or collective agreements or other jointly agreed arrangements.
(1) Where there are not sufficient relevant protective measures applicable to workers in general, specific measures should be taken to ensure effective protection of workers' representatives.
(2) These might include such measures as the following:
(a) detailed and precise definition of the reasons justifying termination of employment of workers' representatives:
(b) a requirement of consultation with, an advisory opinion from, or agreement of an independent body, public or private, or a joint body, before the dismissal of a workers' representative becomes final;
(c) a special recourse procedure open to workers' representatives who consider that their employment has been unjustifiably terminated, or that they have been subjected to an unfavourable change in their conditions of employment or to unfair treatment;
(d) in respect of the unjustified termination of employment of workers' representatives, provision for an effective remedy which, unless this is contrary to basic principles of the law of the country concerned, should include the reinstatement of such representatives in their job, with payment of unpaid wages and with maintenance of their acquired rights;
(e) provision for laying upon the employer, in the case of any alleged discriminatory dismissal or unfavourable change in the conditions of employment of a workers' representative, the burden of proving that such action was justified;
(f) recognition of a priority to be given to workers' representatives with regard to their retention in employment in case of reduction of the workforce.
(1) Protection afforded under Paragraph 5 of this Recommendation should also apply to workers who are candidates, or have been nominated as candidates through such appropriate procedures as may exist, for election or appointment as workers' representatives.
(2) The same protection might also be afforded to workers who have ceased to be workers' representatives.
(3) The period during which such protection is enjoyed by the persons referred to in this Paragraph may be determined by the methods of implementation referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Recommendation.
(1) Persons who, upon termination of their mandate as workers' representatives in the undertaking in which they have been employed, resume work in that undertaking should retain, or have restored, all their rights, including those related to the nature of their job, to wages and to seniority. (2) The questions whether, and to what extent, the provisions of subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph should apply to workers' representatives who have exercised their functions mainly outside the undertaking concerned should be left to national laws or regulations, collective agreements, arbitration awards or court decisions.
IV. Facilities to be Afforded to Workers' Representatives
(1) Such facilities in the undertaking should be afforded to workers' representatives as may be appropriate in order to enable them to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently.
(2) In this connection account should be taken of the characteristics of the industrial relations system of the country and the needs, size and capabilities of the undertaking concerned.
(3) The granting of such facilities should not impair the efficient operation of the undertaking concerned.
(1) Workers' representatives in the undertaking should be afforded the necessary time off from work, without loss of pay or social and fringe benefits, for carrying out their representation functions in the undertaking.
(2) In the absence of appropriate provisions, a workers' representative may be required to obtain permission from his immediate supervisor or another appropriate representative of management designated for this purpose before he takes time off from work, such permission not to be unreasonably withheld.
(3) Reasonable limits may be set on the amount of time off which is granted to workers' representatives under subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph.
(1) In order to enable them to carry out their functions effectively, workers' representatives should be afforded the necessary time off for attending trade union meetings, training courses, seminars, congresses and conferences.
(2) Time off afforded under subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph should be afforded without loss of pay or social and fringe benefits, it being understood that the question of who should bear the resulting costs may be determined by the methods of implementation referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Recommendation.
12. Workers' representatives in the undertaking should be granted access to all workplaces in the undertaking, where such access is necessary to enable them to carry out their representation functions.
13. Workers' representatives should be granted without undue delay access to the management of the undertaking and to management representatives empowered to take decisions, as may be necessary for the proper exercise of their functions.
14. In the absence of other arrangements for the collection of trade union dues, workers' representatives authorised to do so by the trade union should be permitted to collect such dues regularly on the premises of the undertaking.
(1) Workers' representatives acting on behalf of a trade union should be authorised to post trade union notices on the premises of the undertaking in a place or places agreed on with the management and to which the workers have easy access.
(2) The management should permit workers' representatives acting on behalf of a trade union to distribute news sheets, pamphlets, publications and other documents of the union among the workers of the undertaking.
(3) The union notices and documents referred to in this Paragraph should relate to normal trade union activities and their posting and distribution should not prejudice the orderly operation and tidiness of the undertaking.
(4) Workers' representatives who are elected representatives in the meaning of clause (b) of Paragraph 2 of this Recommendation should be given similar facilities consistent with their functions.
16. The management should make available to workers' representatives, under the conditions and to the extent which may be determined by the methods of implementation referred to in Paragraph 1 of this Recommendation, such material facilities and information as may be necessary for the exercise of their functions.
(1) Trade union representatives who are not employed in the undertaking but whose trade union has members employed therein should be granted access to the undertaking.
(2) The determination of the conditions for such access should be left to the methods of implementation referred to in Paragraphs 1 and 3 of this Recommendation.

Nectar offers a helping hand to beekeepers in response to colony collapse disorder
Nectar—which graduated as part of the 2017 cohort at FounderFuel—is just a year and a half old, but already their technology is proving to be highly valuable to beekeepers and related industries. MTLinTECH sat down with Marc-André Roberge, co-founder and avid beekeeper to talk a bit more about their unique presence in the Montreal tech scene.
READ ALSO; Introducing the FounderFuel 2017 cohort
"Everybody on the team is very concerned about the decline in the population of the bees. We initially thought that we would create this technology to help translate what the bees are telling us and give more insight to the beekeepers. The idea is to give them the ability to become more proactive rather than reactive and give them the tools to be able to better handle new threats that are arising. In the last 20, 30 years there have been a lot of technological advancements in beekeeping so we are just allowing the beekeepers to keep up with that and help them adapt."
While studying industrial design at Université de Montréal, Marc-André developed a personal fascination with apiaries and the art of beekeeping. His interest grew as he worked on his own ecological design projects, and was able to pinpoint the limitations of conventional beekeeping.
"I really fell in love with everything about bees, from all the problems that are coming up now to the social aspect, how the hive functions and human interaction as well, how we rely on them for farming and just their presence in nature, I was fascinated. I read a lot beforehand and did a lot of research, but still the first time you open a hive and hundreds of bees are coming at you, it's pretty overwhelming. You need to be able to translate and assess on the spot exactly what's going on within the hive. I was really having a hard time in the beginning and I saw that other beekeepers were struggling with this as well, and that's when I started thinking about how to facilitate this interaction between bees and humans."
Marc-André explains that the art of beekeeping contributes to a greater eco-system, and that Nectar has the potential to help facilitate business relationships between beekeepers and farmers.
"What's interesting about the issue that we're working on is that it's global. We have the opportunity to work on something really big that has a huge influence on the whole supply chain of pollination dependent crops."
"Beekeepers rent hives to crop farmers whose crops depend on pollination. So our technology can actually provide value to them in that we can tell them exactly how their bees are behaving in the field while they are being rented out. The farmers are able to see how the hives are performing, so we bring a certain level of transparency. In many cases the person who is buying the crop from this crop farmer doesn't really have an idea how bees are affecting their business. They might buy massively in industries like blueberries, almonds, grapeseed, canola oil, crops that are highly dependent on bees and they have no idea what's happening now, what's going to happen next year, and how does it compare to the year before, because they don't have the data, so that's what we want to bring to them. So it really goes far beyond our initial idea to work only with beekeepers."
He explains that the technology that Nectar is developing is beneficial for humans and bees alike. Being able to monitor the hives in this way allows the beekeepers to stay ahead of the curve and take preventative measures against potentially catastrophic events. It also means less contact with the hive which allows the bees to flourish without being disturbed.
"The reality of beekeeping right now is that in order to know what's going on you need to open the hive and look inside. It takes a lot of experience to know what to look for. It is a very multisensory experience, for example you're looking for fresh eggs that the queen just laid, you want to look for queen cells to know if they are building a new queen, if it's overcrowded, if they're producing honey, if there are too many drones, the level of parasites, and the list goes on. Even if you're a very experienced beekeeper, you have to repeat this process every time. It's a lot of time and money, and usually the accuracy is not there. The goal is to cut down on all inspection-based visits to the hive."
The well-being of the bees and specific needs of the beekeepers have always been top priority for Nectar.
"The first thing we did was to spend time with the beekeepers to understand what is important for them. From this we were able to come up with a list of things that we should measure that is key for them to be able to improve their practice. We knew we needed to gather environmental data from the hive, not by keeping track of the number of bees but focusing on how the bees affect their environment. For example, we designed different pieces of hardware that would measure temperature, humidity, sound frequencies, weight, and the geolocation of the hive. The data is then sent to the cloud and from there we are able to analyze the data and find out what's going on."
The co-founder sees big things on the horizon for Nectar, as he realizes the technology they have developed has value well beyond Quebec's borders.
"What's interesting about the issue that we're working on is that it's global. We have the opportunity to work on something really big that has a huge influence on the whole supply chain of pollination dependent crops. We're going to be launching a project in western Canada, we are starting to develop ties in California and have been approached by people in South Africa, Europe and Australia. For now we are focused on our clients here in Quebec but we do see the potential to expand globally."
Nectar is currently raising their seed round and is actively looking for investors.

Peralta Trail
To reach the trailhead, take US 60 about 8 miles east of Apache Junction to Peralta Road. Turn north and, after a very dusty 7 miles, the road dead ends at the trailhead parking lot. (Ron refused to tailgate the car in front of us, so I can't show you the dust.)
Views of the cool rock formations begin right in the parking lot.
We picked a day that wasn't too hot, but this pool still looked refreshing. I like the saguaro pointing the way in the upper right of the picture.
Although the only masses of flowers were the poppies and lupine near the parking lot, there were a lot of different wildflowers along the trail. This one has tiny pale lavender flowers.
There were some nice patches of shade - this one even came with a seat.
I don't remember seeing a maroon cactus flower before. I think it's a hedge hog cactus.
Hey! Here's one I know - it's desert mallow.
As always, Ron couldn't resist a little trail maintenance.
We finally made it to the saddle where there's a nice view of Weaver's Needle. It doesn't really look like a needle to me, but what do I know?
I think this is some kind of penstemon. There were just a few of these near the top.
As we passed this rock, Ron noticed it looked like a dog. He's so imaginative.
I only saw one of this pretty daisy-type plant.
We saw a few of these guys, but only one who would pose for a picture.
Nearing the bottom, Ron still had the energy to climb up the back of this rock to peak through the arch.
I just had the energy for one last flower picture. These were only about pinhead size.

So glad we weren't the only ones exhausted after this hike! I bet you still did not take as long as we did. Great photos.ReplyDelete
Sitting here in the rain missing the dry desert weather!
SPring is in full force here...that looks like an excellent hike. Your photos are really great---I love the wildflowers!! That cactus was pretty cool point the way---lol,ReplyDelete
I took your advice and checked the junk shops but no one had 2 alike! But I got some nice ones at Big Lots that had over the counter art in them so I simply reversed the art and put my poster on top!! It came out nice...didnt get a photo before my son took off with them after the Easter get together..lol
Always wanted to do this hike. Thanks for the great shots.ReplyDelete
Those desert flowers are beatiful. Great shots.ReplyDelete
Isn't that hike neat? We loved it. The wild flower pictures are neat. Since we were there in November (I think), we didn't see any.ReplyDelete
I agree, that trail is treacherous. I did the 10 mile hike on a hot day easier than the Peralta Trail.ReplyDelete

Introduction: Snow-Jet Plans!!!!
Here is an entry for the Autodesk kinetic contest, the idea behind this is to be able to have a snowmobile during the winter and then easily convert it to a jet ski in the summer! The idea is that you have the engine turn the snowmobile tracks as normal, but to also have it hooked up to something like a tractor PTO so you can hook up the propeller for the jet ski. The rest is just a jet ski shell you put over the tracks,(the tracks will also have to be disengaged). This is just a project I have had in my head for a long time now, but its a little to big for me to tackle so I figured I would put it out their and see if someone else might want to try it.

nice drawing, but jet-skis don't have propellers. It is also possible to ride an unmodified snowmobile on water: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFhJS8RMpfs&NR=1
Yea snowmobiling on water is dangerous but fun i am sure. From my experience with both jet skis and snow mobiles this would be top heavy. Once i saw somebody put Styrofoam insulation on the bottom of a snowmobile with a space for the track to come through. He went about 25 feet and rolled over his snowmobile took on water and sunk.
Ya, i meant for the propeller to be used as the pump to suck water in and thrust it out. I know what you mean i have some friends who water skip on snowmobiles, its pretty sweet!

Official description: "Take an evening stroll on a beach, with scents of tropical fruits moving on the breeze, back and forth, just like the surf"
My opinion: Tropical fruit explosion
Sunset Breeze is an exotic, bright, fruity fragrance. I mostly detect peach, mango, and pineapple, with light pear blossom undertones. I don't know why does it belong in the "Fresh" fragrance family. It is a sunny, sweet, and airy, which makes it more agreable that a heavy fuit scent.
I would say that Sunset Breeze is a pleasant candle, but still a very typical summery fragrance. Personally, I enjoyed burning it during breakfast, to wake me up and brighten my mornings, especially now that the days are getting shorter and shorter.
For whom?
→ Those looking to make the summer a little longer
→ If you enjoy fruity fragrance, but not too much
→ If you are prone to winter depression
→ Gift material!
→ When having people over
→ When having a bubble bath
→ Perfect morning candle
Where? Kitchen, bathroom, hall
Grade: 3/5

Tipping for MIA waiters and bartenders passes final vote at County Commission meeting
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY – The Miami-Dade County Commission on June 4 gave final approval to an ordinance sponsored by Jose "Pepe" Diaz's to allow restaurants and bars at Miami International Airport to include a suggested tip on customers' checks.
The legislation amends the County code to allow a suggested tip of up to 18 percent, as long as clear notice is provided on the check or point-of-sale device explaining that the tip is suggested and can be removed or changed at the customer's discretion.
Commissioner Diaz originally proposed the ordinance in April following reports of a planned crackdown on violations of the County's existing prohibition on automatic tipping at MIA.
Florida's minimum wage is $8.46, but employers can pay tipped employees as little as $5.44 per hour.
Commissioner Diaz said preserving the ability to solicit tips at MIA is necessary to protect restaurant and bartender workers, especially since many foreign travelers to the airport come from cultures where tipping may not be common.
"As an international airport, MIA serves passengers from many countries where people are not used to tipping, so this will be of great help to servers and bartenders working at the airport," Commissioner Diaz said.

Nothing puts a damper on a camper like the need for repairs. No one wants to be sitting by the campfire and wonder, "what's that smell?" Even worse, is to find that the smell is coming from a leaky black water tank. To add insult to injury when you find that you have a necessary repair, Murphy's Law says that it'll be up underneath your RV and not easy to get to.
Historically, when repairs were necessary for something located on the underbelly of your RV, such as your black or gray water tank, it was necessary to cut into the corrugated plastic sheet that covered and protected your RV's underbelly. Whether you need to repair something or you simply want to insulate the floor, tanks and water lines because you plan to camp year-round, you no longer have to cut holes in the underfloor material to create access panels. Not when the new Wildwood campers come standard with "Accessibelly." Accessibelly is to your RV underbelly what drop ceilings are to basements.

With Ohio's spike of coronavirus cases showing no signs of easing, Gov. Mike DeWine on Tuesday required residents of the seven worst-hit counties to begin wearing face coverings.
"We continue to have a great concern about Franklin County as well as the other red counties," DeWine said, calling the limited mask order a "surgical, precise approach ... we hope is going to have a big impact."
He called following mask and health orders a "matter of life and death."
The governor said he spoke with the health commissioners of the "red counties" and was told the virus is spreading out of family gatherings, tourist destinations, funerals, churches and some workplaces.
State health officials reported 948 more confirmed and probable COVID-19 infections on Tuesday -- the eighth-highest daily total of the pandemic -- after 805 new cases were recorded Monday.
The state also reported 43 more virus deaths (more than twice the three-week average of 17) and 134 additional hospitalizations, which have been increasing for more than a week and numbered 77 on Monday.
Ohio coronavirus cases have been increasing dramatically, with the state recently surpassing 1,000 infections on three days and posting six of its 10 highest daily case totals since June 23.
DeWine on Tuesday noted the recent increases have been significant and said the increasing hospitalizations were concerning, prompting him to talk of a "huge, imminent crisis" and impose his mask order to help check the "frightening" spread of the virus in hard-hit counties.
Since June 28, new cases averaged 850 a day through Monday, nearly two-thirds higher than the 519 average daily cases recorded June 1-27.
DeWine said masks must be worn in public beginning at 6 p.m. Wednesday in seven counties — Franklin, Butler, Cuyahoga, Hamilton, Huron, Montgomery and Trumbull — rated at Level 3 in the new county virus rating system. Franklin is in danger of reaching the highest rating at Level 4.
Masks must be worn indoors and children under the age of 10 are exempt, the governor said. The health department order will remain in effect until counties drop to Level 2, the governor said. DeWine said local health departments will enforce the mask requirement, violation of which would be a minor misdemeanor criminal offense.
A Level 3 rating represents "very high exposure and spread," with residents urged to "limit activities as much as possible," according to the state's designations.
The spikes in virus cases have prompted mayors and city councils, including Columbus to impose mandates requiring residents to wear masks to help prevent the spreading of coronavirus.
"I felt it would be more efficient" to impose mask orders in the seven counties, even with orders in place in big cities, to cover the remaining political jurisdictions within the county, including suburbs, DeWine said.
After initially saying he would require the wearing of masks as the state reopened its economy, DeWine quickly flip flopped on April 28 and said face coverings were encouraged, but not required.
DeWine expressed fear on Tuesday that the spiking virus cases could poise an economic threat to the state since the increases could discourage people from shopping and eating out at restaurants.
With the pandemic in Ohio hitting the four-month mark on Thursday, the state now has recorded 58,904 virus cases and 2, 970 deaths.
DeWine has said while increased testing accounts for some of the recent increase, most cases reflect the escalating spread of coronavirus, with most counties experiencing community spread.
The state's percentage of virus tests returning positive has nearly doubled over the past month from around 3% to nearly 6%. "There's spread, no matter what county you live in," DeWine said.
State data shows younger Ohioans increasingly are accounting for a larger percentage of the state's coronavirus cases, a trend about which DeWine expressed concern.
During May, those under age 39 accounted for 41% of COVID-19 cases, a percentage that has risen to 45% among the approximate 20,000 infections reported since June 1.
Two months ago, the median age of all virus patients was 51, a number that now has fallen to 45.
Deaths among younger Ohioans remain uncommon, with only 29 deaths, or 1% of all fatalities, occurring among those ages 20 to 39. No Ohioan age 19 or under has died from COVID-19, according to state figures.
Ninety-one percent of COVID-19 deaths have occurred among those age 60 or older, with about 70% of fatalities stemming from nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
Lt. Gov. Jon Husted announced sports practices can resume, including contact sports, with virus precautions and daily symptom assessments.
"I'm optimistic, but it's how well we fight this in the next few weeks that will determine how our fall looks like and what our winter looks like," DeWine said when asked about the possibility of high school football games.

Spewage is used to construct lifeforms; although it has only ever been explicitly used for the reconstruction of Beorns by The Fan and The Enemy, it's implied that Spewage isn't just used for this purpose and can be used to create almost kind of life. It is more noticeable with the Terran Beorns as the attempt to construct them without blood from a Beorn (such as Unten Bluzen) usually has the Spewage fight itself and become diseased and unhealthy.
DescriptionSpewage is almost indistinguishable from the real thing when utilized correctly, although the blood stream of unhealthy Spewage-constructed characters often has black flecks from diseased Spewage. Spewage is most distinguished when it appears unhealthy as it will turn black and somewhat metallic in color and expose ridges. It will also expand out from the original Spewage it came from somewhat like a balloon.
The process of returning Spewage back to it's original textures, colors, and shape requires the formula to be fixed with the lifeform constructed out of it. The diseased Spewage often sags and goes limp, and feels numb and cold to those effected, as if all the nerve endings were shut off.
Major Appearances
Beorn Hallow
Spewage first appears prominently in Beorn Hallow as the substance that most of the Beorns were created from. Fenne herself is suffering from Spewage rejecting itself in her body, and only Unten Bluzen's blood was able to reverse the deadly effects. Chet almost seemed to view it in a religious sense, which he wasn't too off on in actuality. Radux sold Spewage to Unten and Litwick after believing the problem was Spewage deterioration.
