The ways your skin can improve in your 50s
-Jan 31, Hannah Hargrave, Beauty -
You've got so much to look forward to once you hit 50s and that includes what happens to your skin.
We often consider the wisdom and confidence with each passing year, but did you know that there's skin benefits that you'll notice?
Here's how your skin can improve as you age.
Acne reduces
You are far more likely to be waving bye bye to acne. It's a common complaint for teens but many people suffer with the skin condition in their 30s or 40s, even more so when they have PMT. So, as you head towards your menopause and your reproductive hormones diminish, so do your spotty breakouts.
Since the average age to go through menopause is 51, if you're an acne sufferer your spots will likely be less troublesome soon after you enter your 50s.
Skin becomes less oily
Spending your life with a packet of blotting paper in your pocket isn't a lot of fun. If oily skin has been the bane of your existence for as long as you can remember, you can rejoice in the knowledge that as you age your sebasceous glands naturally produce less oil.
Just ensure you invest in a good skin ally such as Lumity Skin Nutrients Facial Oil to keep skin hydrated and ensure it doesn't dry out.
Pores are less noticeable
You don't often see older women with large, noticeable pores and there is a reason. That's because when less oil is produced,the less noticeable the pores are. Pores become dilated when oil clogs them and blackheads are created . You don't have to battle with those issues as you age.
Skin becomes a priority
When you're younger, if you have good skin you simply take it for granted. But as you age you realise it takes more than a quick wash and moisturise to get the glow. Discovering products like Lumity Skin Nutrients Facial Oil and Lumity Day and Night Supplements will give your skin and overall wellbeing the boost it needs. And post 50 you'll definitely appreciate those benefits.
You're more aware of your body
You've lived with your body for over half a decade so when something isn't quite right you notice. Being more aware of your body means you're more likely to pick up on changes which can sometimes save your life. If a new mole or beauty spot pops up, or there's a change in the existing ones you will probably notice sooner rather than later. And, you'll have the wisdom to go straight to see an expert to get it checked out. Early detection in cancer can significantly improve the chances of recovery.

Specialists Decreased Transvaginal Mesh Use, Survey Reveals
Specialists are decreasing their use of transvaginal mesh for recurrent vaginal pelvic organ prolapse ("POP") repair in wake of an FDA advisory, a November 2011 survey of 281 surgeons finds. Dr. Catherine Matthews, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, presented the results at the 33rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urogynecologic Society.
The survey found that doctors increased use of mesh for primary abdominal POP repair, but decreased mesh use for recurrent vaginal POP repair. 23 percent of surgeons said they intended to decrease use of transvaginal mesh.
The survey followed an FDA warning from July 2011 advising doctors that transvaginal mesh surgeries were associated with increased risks of complications without being a significant improvement over traditional tissue repair procedures.
The FDA warning documented a fivefold increase of transvaginal mesh complications since 2008, a total of 2,874. The agency stated that POP could be treated successfully without using vaginal mesh, and that mesh placed abdominally for POP repair may be linked to lower rates of complications.
The FDA received reports of neuromuscular problems, vaginal scarring or shrinking, and three transvaginal mesh related deaths.
In June 2012, Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Ethicon removed its Gynecare vaginal mesh products from the market. The company also changed the indications for use of the Gynemesh device, advising that it is only to be used in abdominal procedures. The company maintains that its product withdrawal was not safety related.
One woman affected by transvaginal mesh complications is filing a transvaginal mesh class action in Australia after suffered "devastating" side effects, which her doctor compared to the effect of a cheese grater on her vaginal walls Not only did she suffer from physical ailments, but the side effects took a psychological toll as well. She reported experiencing depression and even suicidal thoughts.
Thousands of women who suffered from transvaginal mesh injuries are filing lawsuits against mesh manufacturers to seek compensation for their expenses and suffering. Learn more by calling (877) 779-1414.

Is Playing Ball Conforming to the World?
Paul says (Romans 12:2), "Be not conformed to this world," and John says (1 John 2:15): "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Now, I am well aware that there is a line of distinction between the… Continue reading Is Playing Ball Conforming to the World?

If you are a makeup enthusiast, you know the name Trish McEvoy. Southampton's McEvoy, a renowned makeup artist, has been in the makeup industry since the seventies. Though the industry has changed, McEvoy has evolved with it and stuck around. In her recently published book, McEvoy is sharing her tricks of the trade with readers.
In The Makeup of a Confident Woman, McEvoy uncovers the secret to confidence and finding "me-time." The book has seven different sections, each approaching a different issue but working toward the goal of finding a makeup routine that works for each individual woman.
The book begins with sections titled "The Confidence Cure" and "The Gift of Time." McEvoy reflects on changes that have occurred in the industry over the years. One seems to stand out to McEvoy, as it becomes a central point of the text. The issue is that women don't have enough time to spend on themselves. McEvoy draws on personal experiences, and a study she conducted, to conclude that if women gave themselves a few minutes every day to apply makeup, their lives would change for the better. The idea that just a few more minutes each day, set aside for self-indulgence, can change both your mood and confidence for the better is advice women should take.
McEvoy then gives advice on how to begin the process of overhauling your makeup routine and work on yourself from "the outside in." This advice includes: taking a makeup-less selfie, learning the skin care basics and purchasing the right tools. McEvoy gives examples of makeup products to purchase. At this point the book begins to feel more like an advertisement for her products rather than a tutorial or self-help book. It also leaves women on a budget feeling overwhelmed and somewhat excluded from the process. The most helpful part of this section were suggestions for finding time, and helping women recognize what type of "morning style" she has. The self-reflection here is powerful and very helpful.
Now, we get to the makeup. In the next section, "Discover Your Beauty I.D.," McEvoy describes three levels women typically fall within, level 1 being the lightest makeup and level 3, the heaviest. Your Beauty I.D. helps you in the following section when viewing the different tutorials for the different levels.
The rest of the book is dedicated to brief tutorials that demonstrate the eight steps McEvoy views as key. A variety of skin tones, ages and beauty concerns are presented through pictures of different women demonstrating the steps. For someone who knows very little about makeup, these tutorials might not be enough for you to replicate the look you like. Words such as "apply liberally" and "stipple foundation" left this reviewer confused and with a face of much heavier makeup than she had intended for herself.
Overall, McEvoy does give a lot of basic information to the reader regarding makeup and skin care. She also presents an issue that concerns many women—insufficient "me time." What's missing is the detailed description on how to replicate the quick, easy and confidence boosting makeup routine in the time available. If you're experienced in applying makeup, following the tutorials should be easy, but many readers might find this process difficult.
The Makeup of a Confident Woman confronts issues women face on a daily basis, and gives insightful advice to the problems of lack of time and of confidence. For women looking for the motivation and inspiration to start putting themselves first, this book is a great read. However, it may help to have a more experienced makeup applier, or artist, at hand to demonstrate how to replicate the tutorials.

The weather is Sydney has been absolutely atrocious for a couple of weeks now. If it's not raining torrentially then it's sunny and humid - which makes for very hot and sticky training. I think this has been half the reason why I took that little turn on Saturday at swim training. The earth's atmosphere feels really heavy and thick - and most mornings I am waking up to a decent amount of fog and haze which signals another day of heat and high humidity.
Sauna Training
Makes me wonder how people who live in this sort of weather year round do it - or even though professional triathlete's who compete once a year in it cope. Heat and humidity are probably my worst enemy and if I could have a choice as to the time I year I would prefer to train in it would be Spring or Autumn - perfect weather really.
Even my Doc who has now put me on a preventer for my Asthma has mentioned the increase in people coming in with complaints about allergies and ailments related to our crazy weather. I am now on 1 puff twice daily of Seretide. Hopefully this will reduce my need for Ventolin (reliever) during my workouts by helping strengthen my lungs. Don't really like being on steroid again but this gets right to the problem versus being systemic like the Prednisone I was on for my back.
So yesterday I went for my interval bike ride. It was meant to be 2hrs worth but I just didn't have it in me. 1hr and 35mins later I pulled up home after doing 5 x 10min Zone 3 intervals and just felt BLAH. But I knew I still had a 20min run off the bike to do. So I got changed even though every fibre of my being was yelling out to have a shower and rest and headed out the door in this oppressive humidity.
Every step was painful - not because I had injured something - I just was really struggling to put one foot in front of the other. The only thing that really got me through was knowing that when I got home I could have a super cold drink of water and a freezing cold shower. I also noticed something else during this run that is a slight cause for concern in terms of how my body handles heat - I was getting goosebumps (yep the kind you get when you are freezing cold). If didn't just happen once, it happened a few times which made me hurry home even quicker to cool down. I couldn't even rest on the side of the road to cool down as there are absolutely no trees where I run. Will have to start looking at different times of the day to train for running which is hard when I am expected to do those bike/run bricks.
Then last night I went to have dinner with a dear friend who I haven't seen in ages. We ate yummy pizzas and salad and better yet we laughed a whole heap. Thanks Marisa for a beautiful evening. I have never eaten so much as I did last night. I almost devoured a whole pizza by myself and although my stomach was in agony after eating it all cause I was that full - I enjoyed every morsel and did not feel guilty. In fact I have to eat like crazy to regain the 2kgs I have dropped in the last week. I am now teetering at 64kgs on a 178cm frame and vowed I wouldn't drop below 65 so it's now time to just eat, eat, eat.

My review of the fully restored art deco Sheraton Grand London Park Lane – Part 2
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
Here is part two of my review of the Sheraton Grand Park Lane hotel in London, which has just been extensively refurbished and is now back to its 1920's art deco glory.
Part one of my Sheraton Grand Park Lane London review – click here – looks at the bedrooms and the gym. Here I focus on the restaurants, bars and club lounge.
Restaurants and bars at Sheraton Grand Park Lane
The Italian restaurant Mercante opened in July. The design and menu are reminiscent of Italian food markets with dishes available in three different sizes to be ordered as sharing plates, tapas or mains.
Looking at tables full of meat like this one, I wonder how I was ever a vegetarian …
My friend joined me for dinner and we decided to order a selection of small plates as everything on the menu sounded delicious.
Top tip: Order the kale!
Breakfast is also served at Mercante. You can order a la carte or you can pay £19 for the cold buffet £25 for hot buffet. Typically when booked at the same time as a room the breakfast buffet is an extra £15.50 per person.
There was a good selection of cereals, fresh juices …..
….. and also a vast meat and cheese selection with fresh bread.
You can order egg dishes and have them prepared for you in the open kitchen. I had a delicious omelette with mushrooms, bacon and cheese.
Smith & Whistle
Smith & Whistle is the new 1920's inspired bar at the Sheraton Grand. It serves craft beers, cocktails and small dishes to share or combine to a main.
Palm Court Lounge
Here is a picture of the Palm Court Lounge which is where you enter the hotel if you walk in from Piccadilly.
The art deco interiors have been beautifully restored and it is a great place for afternoon tea or a drink.
Sheraton Club Lounge
Rooms on the 7th and 8th floor come with complimentary access to the Sheraton Club Lounge.
The lounge serves breakfast Monday to Friday from 6:30am – 11am and from 7am – 11am at the weekend.
From 11am – 2:30pm snacks, biscuits, soft drinks, tea and coffee are served and from 2:30pm – 4pm there is afternoon tea. In the evenings from 5:30pm – 7:30pm alcoholic drinks and snacks are served.
When I took this picture there were only some dry snacks in the jars, however later in the evening there was a good selection of canapes.
Here is what I had before going for dinner. They were tasty but it probably isn't enough for anyone who wasn't planning to eat dinner elsewhere.
The Sheraton Club Lounge also has a meeting room at the far back that can be used on a complimentary basis by anyone who has lounge access.
Silver Gallery
Here are a few photographs of the beautiful public spaces at the Sheraton Grand. This is the 70 year old Silver Gallery which acts as Sheraton's luxurious entrance to the ballroom.
The ballroom at the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane is Grade II listed and has been renovated to a high standard.
It's the only intact full-size art deco ballroom in London. It was used as a filmset for the original Titanic movie as well as Revolver, Goldeneye, The Danish Girl and many more.
During World War II it was agreed that the House of Parliament or House of Lords could use the ballroom if their buildings were destroyed.
Tudor Rose Room
If you ever wondered where the Queen learnt to ballroom dance, see the picture of the Tudor Rose Room below.
The Sheraton Grand London Park Lane definitely impressed me. The multi million pound renovation has taken this fading art deco property and kicked it into the 21st century whilst keeping the original style alive.
The location is great for everyone who wants to stay in the heart of London. Buckingham Palace, Westminster and Piccadilly Circus in walking distance and Green Park is right in front of the hotel. It is, frankly, a far more impressive property post renovation than the nearby InterContinental or Hilton hotels on Park Lane.
If you live in London, I still recommend paying the Sheraton Grand a visit and having a drink or afternoon tea in the Palm Court.
As a Starwood Preferred Guest redemption, the hotel is in Category 6 and costs 20,000 SPG points per night. That is the same as the Le Meridien Piccadilly a few hundred metres away which is nowhere near as impressive.
The hotel website is here if you want to find out more. Thanks to Sheraton for arranging my stay.

Introduction: How to Make Little Libraries
This is a fun project that you can use mostly scrap materials for! What you'll need:
2x2" pine
Siding (cedar shake, clapboard, etc)
Door latch and hinges
Plexiglass for window/door
Step 1: Screw the Frame Together
We used 1 1/2x1 1/2" pine (cut scrap 2x4s) to make the frame. Measure
the largest books you think will fit in your little library in order to figure out how large you want the library. Cut a plywood base to put the frame on (we did ~14x14?) and then cut the frame members to represent whatever roof you want. We cut one side 1-2" shorter on an ~10 degree angle so that we could make shed roofs. (Shed roofs are easier than gable/roof with a peak) Use screws to screw the frame together.
Step 2: Adding Siding and Roof
The siding gets attached to the framework. Attach with finish nails (clapboard, cedar shake, exterior plywood, etc)
The roof is plywood, attached to the framework with screws. To finish the roof, first put on tar paper and aluminum drip edge. The follow with either metal roof or shingles, attach with nails.
For little libraries with a green roof, you will need to create a frame that is added on top of the roof, but it needs to have some sort of impermeable rubber lining. You can plant sedum on a roof, but make sure the angle of the roof isn't too steep so the dirt doesn't slide off.
Step 3: Build/Install Door
Create a door (you can use kreg pocket screws to create the door), much like you'd create a picture frame. There must be a rabbet (a step-shaped recess cut along the edge or in the face of a piece of wood) in order to fit in a piece of plexiglass. Then install the door into the front of the little library using hinges and a slidelock.
Step 4: Paint/Decorate
Take a look at all the options! You can add a little cupola, you can burn images into the wood, you can paint it with chalkboard paint. Above all, make it unique and make it yours!wood
Step 5: Above All, Build It With Your Community!

Bay Rum Cleaning soap is a type of soap which has a very special and good smell. This cleaning soap has numerous uses and is available in many types, commonly such as aftershave cream or perfume. Bay rum soap may be used as shaving cleaning soap, underarm deodorant as well as as an over-all astringent.
Where These types of Rum Soap Originates from
The distinctive bay rum soap originated from Saint Jones, one from the islands inside the West Indies. The simply leaves and berries from the West Indian native Bay sapling, Pimenta racemosa happen to be distilled to create the unique Bay rum cleaning soap, and they had been combined with locally created rum to provide it it's distinctive title. These ingredients were then coupled with different components to improve the perfume from the soap.
Bay rum soap may be combined along with components such as citrus as well as spice natural oils to excellent effect, the most known of that is lime essential oil, oil associated with cloves as well as cinnamon.
Initially these types of rum cleaning soap was widespread inside the US, in Ny in specific, and it had been sold here well before it is at the stores in European countries. Today there are numerous producers associated with bay rum cleaning soap and lotions in many West Indian native republics in addition to a large number of American as well as European scent companies.
Interestingly the actual bay simply leaves we generally use within cooking are from the totally not related species, Laurus nobilis, and are in no way associated using the West Indian native bay sapling. A equivalent product is going to be produced through the bay laural, but for that authentic formula the Western indian range is mandatory.
Bay Rum Cleaning soap Perfume as well as Smell
Bay Rum Cleaning soap is famous because of its light, hot and fairly sweet aroma, which is actually analogous in lots of ways to numerous popular aftershaves. Nowadays these types of rum cleaning soap is item of somewhat different materials towards the original, frequently from Hand Oil, Coconut Essential oil, Soybean Essential oil, Milk, Yellow-colored Oxide, Titanium Dioxide, Bay Rum Gas, however this still retains the majority of the qualities from the original these types of rum cleaning soap.
Another make use of for These types of Rum Gas (Pimento racemosa, Vapor Distilled Leaf, Island associated with Dominica) may be the therapy associated with scalp conditions for example dandruff as well as greasy locks, so it's mixture using the other substances from the soap causes it to be a truly wholesome as well as pleasant option for customers.
So in the event that soap making is the thing, and if you're able to obtain the actual components, then these types of rum cleaning soap is really worth making!

GLENCOE – Writers Theatre may have ruffled a few feathers by beginning its 2016-17 season with a streamlined version of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," but it doesn't need to apologize.
The striking, fresh look at the play, taken by co-directors Michael Halberstam and Scott Parkinson, is a carefully wrought adaptation. The show, pared down and performed without an intermission, runs one hour and 45 minutes.
It remains a bloody tale of intrigue, murder and revenge. But, interestingly, the emphasis shifts away from the ambitious war hero Caesar (Madrid St. Angelo) to the envious conspirators plotting his assassination; the cabal is fearful that Caesar will lay claim to the title of dictator in perpetuity.
Parkinson, a veteran actor with nine previous Writers Theatre credits, also appears in the cast as Cassius, one of the instigators covertly lobbying against Caesar. It's Cassius who plants the bloody coup idea in the mind of Brutus (Kareem Bandealy, another familiar face to Writers audiences) where it took root and spread.
Caesar brushes aside sinister warnings from a soothsayer (Ayra Daire) that he be on his guard and similar misgivings of his wife Calphurnia (Christine Bunuan) about his plans to attend the senate meeting.
In brief remarks in the program booklet, Halberstam draws some parallels between the current political turmoil on the world stage and what went on in ancient Rome: "I can think of no better play to reflect this highly unusual election season than the greatest of all political dramas, 'Julius Caesar'."
"But where do the parallels lie? . . . Shakespeare offers no clear villain and no clear hero, but he chronicles the nuances and obvious machinations of political manipulation ... and leaves you with many more questions than answers."
Meanwhile, Parkinson is quoted about his fascination with the play and "... how it explores the tension between a practical approach to governing on the one hand, and a moral approach on the other."
Parkinson continues: "In terms of which approach wins out within the context of Shakespeare's story, the contest isn't even close – but at what cost? – the play seems to ask. I'm also fascinated by the way in which world-shaking decisions affecting millions of people's lives are often made based on the simplest, sometimes pettiest of unrealized motivations between individuals."
Thomas Vincent Kelly stands out in the role of Caesar's friend Mark Antony, whose carefully crafted eulogy for the murdered warrior stirs up a sympathetic response from the crowd.
Courtney O'Neill's spare but effective set is dominated by an imposing row of tall, slanting pillars. Adding to the somber mood are Jesse Klug's lighting and original music and sound design.

Teaching Strategies for Neurodiversity and Dyslexia in Actor Training – Sensing Shakespeare, 1st Edition
£29.99 exc. VAT
By Petronilla Whitfield
Teaching Strategies for Neurodiversity and Dyslexia in Actor Training addresses some of the challenges met by acting students with dyslexia and highlights the abilities demonstrated by individuals with specific learning differences in actor training.
The book offers six tested teaching strategies, created from practical and theoretical research investigations with dyslexic acting students, using the methodologies of case study and action research. Utilizing Shakespeare's text as a laboratory of practice and drawing directly from the voices and practical work of the dyslexic students themselves, the book explores:
the stress caused by dyslexia and how the teacher might ameliorate it through changes in their practice
the theories and discourse surrounding the label of dyslexia
the visual, kinaesthetic, and multisensory processing preferences demonstrated by some acting students assessed as dyslexic
acting approaches for engaging with Shakespeare's language, enabling those with dyslexia to develop their authentic voice and abilities
a grounding of the words and the meaning of the text through embodied cognition, spatial awareness, and epistemic tools
Stanislavski's method of units and actions and how it can benefit and obstruct the student with dyslexia when working on Shakespeare
Interpretive Mnemonics as a memory support and hermeneutic process, and the use of color and drawing towards an autonomy in live performance
This book is a valuable resource for voice and actor training, professional performance, and for those who are curious about emancipatory methods that support difference through humanistic teaching philosophies.

Modeling of composite material interface
Thomas.Ensma replied to Thomas.Ensma's topic in Altair HyperMeshActually I found out that results obtained match with theory, however I still have to get closer from experimental results, I tried to modify the interface stiffness but as you can see as soon as I do that layers do not stay bonded together while there still is FREEZE as contact type.
Modeling of composite material interface
Thomas.Ensma replied to Thomas.Ensma's topic in Altair HyperMeshHi, I have been told using gap elements to produce contact between parts is becoming obsolete day by day, thus I used the contact algorithms (FREEZE represents the glue) after having created contact surfaces and interfaces.It provides promising results however there still remain problems: First there are still annoying displacement along z-axis even if this time they are quite small, this seems to be due to an implicit bending force created by the load but I do not see why this is happening. I corrected this problem by setting a huge bending stiffness in my shell elements but I don't know if it is a valid method ... Then, I have experimental results to validate the model, however these do not match at all with what I get with hypermesh. I attach to this message my new model and a document detailing how I made it and observations on it. If you had any idea to modify this model so as to get closer to experimental results I would be grateful. Thank you, Thomas ps: I am sure of the method I use to plot stress-strain curve as I already did it successfully with individual layers of each material model.fem model.hm Model of classic fiberglass FML.docx
Hi, I come back to this problem, I would like to model what happens beyond the yield stress that is in the plastic field. Is it possible to do with OptiStruct? Thank you, Thomas
Modeling of composite material interface
Thomas.Ensma replied to Thomas.Ensma's topic in Altair HyperMeshI gave you my first model where I defined gaps with the "nodes-elements" option because if I want to increase the number of elements later it is the only possible way. The problem is that layers react totally indepently from each other and I get the same results if I run calculation on isolated layers. Here displacement on z-axis could be consistent as it shows the contraction of layers due to the tensile force, however on y-axis we can see that displacement of composite layers are much bigger than aluminium layers while they should be stuck and have displacement quiet similar. sorry if I was not clear enough in my previous messages.
Modeling of composite material interface
Thomas.Ensma replied to Thomas.Ensma's topic in Altair HyperMeshYes of course, I attach it to the message. I didn't define a coordinate system at the beginning as I think gaps should be well oriented because of the space I let between layers, however I also tried to specify a coordinate system for gaps : I defined a new one with x-axis pointing from the layer where I selected the nodes towards the one where I selected elements, it has no effect ... I use the solver OptiStruct. CompositeModelling.hm
Thomas.Ensma liked a post in a topic: modeling of a tensile test
Modeling of composite material interface
Thomas.Ensma replied to Thomas.Ensma's topic in Altair HyperMeshHi Prakash, I changed the stiffness, instead of KA=AUTO I put KA=106.E.h with E=210000MPa (steel's elastic modulus) and h=0.01mm (size of gap element) i.e. KA=210.107. The results are exactly the same : gaps still seem to be useless. I also tried to put KA=HARD instead of KA=AUTO, and I set KT=AUTO (transverse stiffness) as equal ...
Thomas.Ensma started following modeling of a tensile test and Modeling of composite material interface
Modeling of composite material interface
Thomas.Ensma posted a topic in Altair HyperMeshHi, I must model a tensile sample of composite material which consist of 3 layers of aluminium and 2 layers of fiberglass and each layer is linked by an adhesive. My problem is to model interfaces between layers, I have been advised to use gap elements to do it. Thus, on my geometry, even if layers are actually in contact, I let a small distance between them so that when I do my 2D-meshing the software does not consider them as one body and generate common grids between the two. Then I generated gap elements with the "nodes-elems" option, it creates gaps between the nodes of each mesh and also 1D-elements on 2D-elements I selected. These gaps are stocked in a new component with a PGAP property where I set U0=0.0 (initial gap opening); KA_opts selected option : auto; and MU1_opts selected option : Stick. The analysis I want to do is about a tensile test so I fixed one extremity of the sample and I applied a force along y-direction on the other. When I run the solver and observe results on Hyperview, these are not satisfying : it seems that gaps are useless and I obtain the exact same results when I delete them completely, all layers react independently from each other. As I did my analysis without a huge number of elements, I tried to redefine gaps using the "node-node" option and link all the nodes with each other, but the results are even worse : there are huge displacement along z-direction (near 30mm with a sample length of 200mm) while the force is along y-direction, plus displacement along x-direction is not consistent either. However gaps seem to keep layers stuck with each other. Could you tell me if gap elements are really adapted to my case please. And what do I have to do to implement them well. Thank you
Thank you very much

Thomas.Ensma posted a topic in Altair HyperMeshHello, I am trying to model a simple tensile test with HyperMesh and the solver OptiStruct, however the results I obtain are inconsistent regarding the stresses. The detail of how I implemented the model and how I used results is in the attached document. Please tell me what I have done wrong. First model.docx

Since Hydrofluoroether fluids (HFEs) have emerged as a good alternative, it is necessary to characterize their thermophysical properties in order to bring reliable data to the industry. Density and speed of sound are two of the most important physical properties because of the amount of information that they provide in the design of the machinery involved in the utilization of these fluids as well as data for the parametrization of equations of state. This paper reports a set of new data concerning high pressure density, ρ, for the binary mixture x HFE-7200 + (1 − x) 2-propanol in a broad range of pressures (0.1–140 MPa), and at several temperatures (from 293.15 to 393.15 K). Density values were correlated by employing a Tait-like equation in the same p, T ranges, and the derivative properties, that is, the isothermal compressibility κT, and the isobaric expansion αP, were determined. Excess molar volumes VE, which bring information about the change in volume observed in the mixture were also calculated for the eight mole fractions investigated. Speeds of sound, c, at 0.1 MPa were measured experimentally in the temperature range (293.15–333.15 K). By using the Laplace equation, isentropic compressibilities, κS, were calculated from density and sound velocity values. 2020-06-12 2020-06-12 2019-04 2021-04-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 0021-9614 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/5342 10.1016/j.jct.2018.12.018 eng The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics. 2019, V. 131, p. 630-647 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jct.2018.12.018 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Elsevier

text: BUSINESS Spotify Upgrades Fan Insights Feature to 'Spotify for Artists': Exclusive 4/18/2017 by Dan Rys FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of Spotify Spotify for Artists When Spotify first introduced its Fan Insights initiative in beta in November 2015, it was, says vp of product Charlie Hellman, a dashboard of data intended as "a self-serve way [for] artists and their teams to really understand what was going on with their audiences on Spotify." Now, a year and a half later, the streaming service is upgrading Fan Insights and rebranding the initiative as Spotify for Artists, complete with new features and controls that allow all artists to not only peek under the hood at their data through the service, but also manage their artist presence within Spotify itself. As with Fan Insights, artists will have access to listeners' demographic information -- age, gender, location -- as well as real-time song information, playlist performance and data and the different ways listeners are accessing or discovering their music. With Spotify for Artists, verified musicians will be able to now manage the way their artist page looks, with photos; pinned songs, albums or playlists that they want to promote atop their profile; and the ability to add and control which playlists appear on their artist page, whether created by themselves or by fans or other artists. "What we're seeing is that artists of all sizes need the help," says Troy Carter, global head of creator services at Spotify. "Someone who is one of the top 50 artists in the world, they're still trying to figure out a lot of things about their fans as it relates to specific demographics, how to reach them, how to sell more tickets, how to appeal to audiences that you may not necessarily appeal to on typical radio. But what we're seeing as you go down the stream, artists who more typically self-serve, they also need more tools. We feel like Spotify for Artists is providing them." Spotify for Artists, more than a complete overhaul of the current iteration of Fan Insights, is the result of the past year-plus of feedback and updates to the existing system as artists and managers take the raw data and apply it to their careers. In announcing the new initiative today, Spotify pointed to British singer-songwriter Lucy Rose, whose demographic listener data led her to route a tour throughout Latin America; Canadian singer Joshua Hyslop, who used that same data to tour the Netherlands; New York City-based singer Max, who took location and listening data and used it to pitch his song "Lights Down Low" to national radio; and electronic musician Zhu, who rode the spikes of streams from a collaboration with Skrillex to 100 million listens while he averaged 4 million streams per month. Hellman points to another use case: branding, which has grown into a significant income stream for artists of all sizes. "A lot of what artists and managers use Spotify Fan Insights for is pitching themselves to other career opportunities, whether that's a brand, whether that's trying to get a better deal on the promotion side for the tour," Hellman explains. "For them to be able to pull all-time stats to show how many people have been listening to this single, or how many people within this city, that just helps them create that sheet to walk into that meeting and pitch themselves with more force." The Spotify for Artists dashboard also mirrors other data-driven tools, like Kobalt-owned AWAL's new app that pulls in data from both Spotify and Apple Music, and Pandora's Artist Marketing Platform, which gibves artists the ability to reach out to and connect with fans using the platform. For Carter, who previously managed artists such as Lady Gaga and Meghan Trainor and thus has seen both sides of this coin, the access to data -- particularly in real time -- is a game changer of sorts for managers. "I think what we're seeing now is how big the music ecosystem is," he says. "When you look at, whether it's record labels or radio stations, you only can handle a certain amount of releases and deal with a certain amount of artists, so the majority of artists around the world are kind of left behind from the mainstream system. I think these tools help them navigate that a little bit better." Both Hellman and Carter see Spotify for Artists as one piece of a larger puzzle that includes their efforts to help artists -- whether through algorithmic and/or human-curated playlists, marketing initiatives led by Carter's team, Fan First campaigns or other projects, and say that they'll be rolling out more features throughout the spring and summer. But for all Spotify can do -- particularly for an indie artist -- Carter stresses one particular point. "There's a lot of speculation that we're going into the label business, and I think we couldn't be further from it," he says. "Our thing is, how do we support our partners on every end and allow them to use Spotify as a distribution platform, a place where they can reach more fans, and just be the most value-added partner that they're gonna find."

Your perfect tax shelter
Real estate is the perfect tax shelter for your illicit gains. Buy the property via a corporation/trust using funds that need laundering and turn your dirty money into clean money. The asset is legit and you can borrow clean money on it. There is no bank or mortgage company record. With the current investigation of Russian money being used to funnel money to The Don, the Treasury should be interested. The Russian mob created an extraordinary 'profit' on the sale of a FL mansion for The Don. Russians have used foreign banks to do the same laundering operation. Guess who ran the most popular laundering bank for Russians? Trump's own Commerce Secretary Ross. If you have enough money you can create amazing ways to avoid taxes on your illicit gains and only those in the know, know. "Only the little people pay taxes."

Why is it so hard to fashion a national health care plan?
The pharmaceutical industry alone had 1,400 lobbyists in
Washington in 2014. The users of their products had
none. There
is no mechanism to keep costs down. When we get sick, we don't go shopping
from one doctor to the next for a free price quote. Have you ever called your
local hospital and got a price on a broken bone or cut finger? Despite the view
of Congress and the president, there is no competition to reduce costs like
buying a big screen TV. Congress
says that the "free" market will lower costs. They keep saying that an
insurance company in Utah will reduce the costs in CA if only CA will let Utah's insurers into CA. Why would anyone buy
insurance from a company with doctors and hospitals in ME when they live in MA?
And how many doctors will compete for my Medicaid business? None. In fact, I
have to pay them $150 or more over the state reimbursement just to see me. Drug
firms can charge anything they like for a new pill for this or that even though
the drug was developed
by a government agency or a grant (my taxes) to my local university.
Health care is just not a TV commodity business. Most nations have learned that already. And KS has just tried to reverse course so it can cover 150,000 uninsured with Medicaid. ID, NE, SD, VA and GA are looking at expanding Medicaid to cover more uninsured.
Your Retirement Income Checklist
There are so many unknowns in our futures that we must plan a FLEXIBLE financial future. We can anticipate some expenses but generally, we must plan for a range of possible futures. If you stay invested in some stock mutual funds to overcome inflation, how can you avoid a prolonged flat market? If you count on fixed income like bonds or annuities, what happens if inflation roars back? We can moderate big swings in stocks and bonds by maintaining a balanced portfolio of low-cost funds. If we begin now, where we are, we may be able to add $250,000 to $500,000 before and during retirement. If we can delay taking Social Security and or our pension or IRA, we can add significant amounts to our future nest egg. Few retirees are happy playing around all day after working for 50 years. A gradual shift is more appropriate and rewarding. Today, retirees need to plan for 30 years AFTER working. You need to make two budgets—one for now and one for the survivor using current assumptions about income sources.

Is it treason?
The Don and his lieutenants may be guilty of assisting a foreign power in influencing our election. The FBI is probably looking at the way Manafort and others were leading the GOP campaign AND being agents of Putin or his oligarchs. Do we know for sure that foreigners did NOT hack the voting data of some states? Has the FBI geeks checked every computer in all 500 voting districts? We don't need to have a smoking gun to prove that some Trump folks did NOT have
America's best interests at heart. For instance, why did the GOP allow Russians
to strike the platform plank about sanctions for Putin's invasion of Ukraine? Why
didn't The Don vet his lieutenants before allowing them to work on his behalf?
How can Flynn
be a paid foreign secret agent while he works as Trump National Security
Advisor? He says he did not know they were working for Russia before or
during the campaign. Isn't that a LIE? Once
you are an agent, you are always an agent is common knowledge. Why is The
Don always so positive about Putin and Russia? Why does he deny he
has ties to Russia? Dick Cheney says Russia's meddling in the U.S. election could be "considered
an act of war." Why did Sessions
lie about contact if it was innocent? How can you lie to Congress and not
go to jail? Are Ivanka
and Jared qualified to be playing the role of Sec of State? Putin would
like us to abandon Europe and the former
Eastern Block countries and get in a war with N Korea. Are voters scared that his naiveté,
lack of judgment and gullibility to BS will start WWIII with the N.
What are Nunes, Flynn, Sessions, Bannon, and crew hiding if not guilt of working with/for a foreign power to destabilize
? America
Is Trump guilty of treason if he allowed his people to assist
Russia in messing with our election process and
important policy decisions?
RESULT: Putin wins this "cold" war of winning the hearts and minds of the world!
"Facts are stubborn things," President John Adams, 1770.
Take responsibility for your BS
Unlike The Don, the conspiracy theorist who started the lie about Hillary's sex ring in Wash DC pizzeria has apologized. When you yell fire in a crowded theater, there will be consequences. The Pizzeria owner has gotten death threats after a crazed gunman shot up the place looking for Hillary's sex slaves.
Unlike The Don, a conservative millennial firebrand, who told the truth, has lost her job. Tomi Lahren has been "banned permanently" from Glenn Beck's The Blaze, according to a report in The New York Post. The reported banning comes after Lahren, 24, was criticized in some conservative circles following a March 17 appearance on ABC's "The View" in which she revealed that she supports abortion rights. "I'm for limited government, so stay out of my guns, and you can stay out of my body as well," Lahren said at the time.
The Don said he doesn't tell lies, he just repeats what he hears on Fox or other "entertainment" outlets. He takes no responsibility for what he yells in the theater. Trump declined the opportunity to retract the claim, telling the media that "we said nothing" when he tweeted, "How low has President Obama gone to tapp [sp] my phones during the very sacred election process," and that he was merely quoting a "very talented legal mind" he had seen on Fox News.
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump
How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

"You should be talking to Fox," Trump said. Fox apologized for the lie made by the "very talented? legal mind" that appeared on the entertainment show. Judge faked it. Napolitano's source was former CIA guy and never said Obama asked the Brits.
The Don just repeats BS from entertainers because he is an entertainer himself.
GOAL: Build the brand so every person on earth knows what "Trump" stands for and keep repeating the name every day in every way.
Are you considering a Fiat Chrysler vehicle?
Take a look at the reliability ratings on your choice. You may be in for a big surprise. Fiat (worst), Jeep (second-worst), and Chrysler (fifth-worst) dominated the list of underachievers. Meanwhile, Dodge ranked sixth among the bottom of the auto industry barrel. Consumer Reports 2016 reliability ratings suggest these results were no fluke.

The Don will learn that Tax Reform is like health care—complicated
Why are there 5 to 17 lobbyists for each of our Reps in
Washington? Lobbyists are paid
over $5.7 million per Rep to
make laws that favor their employers including tax subsidies and special
exemptions. It has taken 30-40 years for lobbyists to bend the rules to favor
their employers. Why should they give that up now? Only one reason—put more of
the tax burden on some other guy, usually us, the ordinary tax payer. We have
NO lobbyists in Washington buying
them dinner, trips, re-elections. Dow
company gets over 400 subsidies. GM and Buffett's companies get over 300.
FedEx, GE over 200. The top 500 firms account for more than 16,000
subsidy awards worth $63 billion. Many of these same profitable companies
also pay NO taxes. You and I pay for them—we pay for their roads AND
their subsidies. Like
Trump in 1995, paying no taxes is what the rich want. Why would they change that now?
Nearly two-thirds of U.S.
companies and 68% of foreign corporations do not pay
federal income taxes, according to a congressional report. The Don has
promised to give corporations and the wealthy an even
sweeter deal. The wealthy
would receive a cut of 19% while we get only 4.9%. Corporations pay about 12% on average so the
Trump rate of 15% may only appeal to some. Many leave their profits overseas to
avoid paying their fair share. Many use expensive accountants and dummy
corporations and tax shelters to avoid
taxes like The Don. However,
We can use our tax credits to avoid taxes now: https://www.amazon.com/Tax-Credit-Class-your-credits-pay-ZERO/dp/1539462382
"Huge" tax cut for corporations and the wealthy will cost us
There is no free lunch so when The Don promises The Wall and a tax cut; we can expect that the
taxpayer will be on the hook for them. Trump has already promised that we not
will pay for The Wall. The tax cut for corporations will be paid by us as a new
tariff ('border adjustment tax' fools nobody) of over
$1 trillion. Walmart, Dollar Gen and oil refiners are already reminding us
they will just pass the tax on to us as price hikes. Mad
Max maker Mnuchin fears a global tariff war while Exec VP Bannon claims
Boeing and GE will smile. Meanwhile our real wages will
continue to slide from the high in 1973. If we get a tax cut of 4.9% as
promised, it will be taken by Walmart et al. And what about The Don's promise
of the return of the $25 an hour jobs. When you look at the facts—real
facts—that robot
sales have tripled in some industries, first in cars and now in every
unskilled worker job, you might want to show The Don the new factory. Some
robots cost only $25,000 and so more jobs require running a computer than a
lathe. He should learn that today's firm must constantly retrain workers just
to stay competitive. Instead of building The Wall and giving tax cuts, he
should be giving corporations a tax CREDIT for worker training. The border tax
will not be enough to pay for his tax cuts. Mexico

GOP states continue to keep Dems from voting
AR reinstated a voter ID law that was found as unconstitutional by the state Supreme Court 2014. The only voter charged with voter fraud this year is the GOP chairman in CO, Steve Curtis. Dems do not need to cheat at the voting booth because they can elect winners every time unless the GOP and their Russian friends cheat. Trump has claimed that millions cheated on the last election that HE WON. He forgot his civics lessons: It is legitimate to be registered in multiple states. Most of his family and colleagues do just that and yet they are not charged with voter fraud. Perhaps if the Dems checked in PA and MI they would find enough GOP voting twice for Trump that the actual president is Hillary. Other GOP states have continued to make up stories of fraud in order to keep Dems from voting at the places and times they have voted in the past. Voter suppression is bigger than fraud. Now the GOP uses the tactic of changing Dems normal voting places.
America grow without destroying the earth?
The Don is signing an executive order to promote domestic oil, coal and natural gas by reversing much of Obama's leadership in world warming. Dismantling Obama's plan is misguided at best. Even Exxon knows we are headed in the wrong direction. "He's trying to undo more than a decade of progress in fighting climate change and protecting public health," David Doniger, director of the climate and clean air program at the Natural Resources Defense Council. Short-sighted action has consequences.
America has made progress in slowing emissions and abundant gas will nix oil and
coal expansion. Leadership
is not turning the clock back to 1050's style growth.
Leadership means making the world better for future generations.
An adult who knows better would do what is best for
America's future. For instance, would an adult cut
medical research, infrastructure and community development grants to help pay
for an expensive luxury? Mexico will NOT pay for The Wall and no adult would
promise something they did not know they could do for sure. An extra tax on
things we buy from Mexico may not pass Congress. The Don wants to cut
research into medical cures and funding for new roads and bridges here at
home. These are tangible benefits. The Wall is easily tunneled under. Buying
more carriers and bombs is a luxury to most Americans. Obama killed Bin Laden
with Seal Team specialists not carriers.
We have entered the Twilight Zone:
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone" where "alternative facts" and illusions of conspiracies are lived out. Lies are considered true. Truth is what the loudest voice says it is over and over.

Remember, Don Trump is still a contractor from Queens NY, just richer than most. As a promoter, his income is from lending his wealth "brand" to other's buildings and golf.

programs. US
19 Agencies you may use being cut from American society: The Don does not like Meals on Wheels, Sesame St. NPR radio, Arts, Miners retraining, 62 in all for $343 billion
What GOP does NOT cut:
No cuts to subsidies to Boeing, GE, Intel, Nike, Shell, Fiat, GM, Ford, hundreds more.
No cuts to govt cost overruns of $ trillions each year. And Congressperson subsidies.
Wealthy 1% will receive a $165 billion tax break, Seniors go back to food stamps.
Where does The Don get his information?

GOP ready to shut government down again—tax cuts cost $5 Trillion in debt to China.
"Everyone is covered" in GOP plan except the 24 million who cannot afford it. TrumpCare failed because of the Democrats the Art of Deal maker claims. TrumpCare was a tax cut for the rich, wrapped up in pretty lies about the poor and needy.

Sculptors can change the shape of the stone, not its structure
Sculptors often seem to do magic, transforming a stone into a magnificent statue. Still, they have limits: they can't make sandstone to marble.
Our mind oscillates between believing that we can change things infinitely and that we can't change them at all, especially with regard to changing our own nature and personality. We all have certain habits and traits that we would like to change. And by working at changing these, we can improve ourselves. Simultaneously, the urge to change can make us unrealistically overambitious.
A fish can learn to swim faster, but it can't learn to fly like a bird. We easily recognize the limits of ability to change in the natural world, but not in the human world. In today's world, we are often taught to believe that whatever is on our mind we will be able to do it, and quite often what we set our mind on is determined by externals, by what is glamorized in the society, by what we are infatuated with based on whatever the society and the culture consider as successful, and thus we strive and slave to achieve it. So for example, if a person who has practically no musical sense tries to become the next Mozart, or somebody who is good at athletics wants to become the next Olympic-gold-medal wearing athlete, those people might be very good at say mathematics or art or some other skill, but if they try to force themselves to do something that is not in their nature, then they simply make themselves miserable because of forcing themselves to work at something which they don't really like, and miserable externally because of being unable to do what they think they should be able to be doing.
The Bhagavad-gita (3.35) states that we all have our natures, and it is best that we learn to work in harmony with our nature. To the extent we learn to see our life situation as one of having the capacity to change the shape of the stone, but not its structure. The extent we can find the balance between thinking that we can change everything, and thinking that we can change nothing – which is the extreme to which we often gravitate on being frustrated at being unable to change things, but by recognizing that we are like sculptors for ourselves, and that we have some things in our control but not everything – we can learn to accept unchangeable aspects of our nature, and we can change on the changeable aspects. Rather than trying to aim for some success based on some external definition of success, we can focus on striving to succeed based on our own standards, based on what we feel internally inspired and equipped to do, and thus move towards a success that is both likely to lead to external achievement and internal fulfilment, and to be able to know what we can do and what we can't do, what we can change and what we can't change.
We need to accept what we are as God's arrangement and we need to connect to Krishna through the process of bhakti which firstly brings us to the mode of goodness, where we can see things better and it also gives us access to guidance form Krishna from within, both of which help us to understand the difference between the changeable and the unchangeable and thus work to shape the stone and not change the structure of the stone.

Tankers are large and heavy trucks especially designed to transport liquefied load such as gasoline, fuel oil, lubricating oil, or liquefied petroleum gas. Tankers are used to pick up supplies from refineries and deliver them to suppliers such as gasoline stations. A tanker driver is responsible for operating and driving this kind of truck. Tanker drivers must drive the tanker trucks and position it properly for filling and then they fill the tank themselves. When filling the tanker, the tanker driver must accurately list down the readings on the gauges and meters to record the actual quantity of material loaded in the truck. Tanker drivers must then carefully but promptly deliver the liquefied material to its destination, ensuring safety in driving. Extra caution is needed in driving these kinds of trucks, thus tanker drivers must possess the proper driver's license.

Like many, I have been waiting for an update to the MacBook Pro line-up for quite some time. The wait recently ended when Apple announced a new series of MacBook Pro models, with a refreshed design, better performance, the brightest display in a Mac, plus the much talked about Touch Bar with Touch ID.
Here in Australia I recently picked up a 15-inch MacBook Pro, and after using it for some time I wanted to put together this review and video to highlight my favourite additions to give you a further general understanding of what is new.
First, I am going to quickly touch on the design because upon picking it up I certainly felt the difference in how thin it is compared to my previous MacBook, thanks to Apple condensing slimness of the design by a further 14%. Upon opening the MacBook, apart from the seeing the much larger trackpad, new keyboard, and of course the Touch Bar I quickly took notice of what I am going to say is actually one of my favourite improvements – the display.
It might not seem obvious, but the vibrant display by far is one of the best I have set eyes on for a number of reasons. It is 67% brighter, has better contrast meaning deeper blacks and whiter whites – but where this display really gets a tick from me is the colour. The display shows 25% more colours, and it really does become noticeable when doing particular tasks especially, for example when I am doing design work in Adobe applications and editing photos.
Editing photos is where I am going to bring in the Touch Bar as it is one of my favourite ways to use it. The Touch Bar replaces the top row of keys with an interactive touch strip, which adapts and changes depending on the application you are using. It did take a few moments for me to get used to it, but once you do you will use and appreciate it more and more.
When it comes to editing photos I can quickly scroll through my photos, play the Live Photo, favourite it, or edit the photo all with touch. Sure this is entirely achievable by using the trackpad and clicking/sliding buttons, but streamlining these procedures using the Touch Bar felt much quicker, simpler, and quite honestly more fun. My edits then synced automatically to my iPhone since I use iCloud Photo Library (which I wrote about recently.)
There are a number of features that the Touch Bar make seem even more natural and simple – I also appreciate when using Safari being able to swipe between opened tabs or creating a new one, or in Pages where I can quickly format text. In Messages, I can swipe through emojis or even search for a particular emoji (seriously emoji search needs to come to iOS!). Overall, I can see the enormous potential in the Touch Bar, particularly from apps like Adobe Lightroom, Microsoft Word, Final Cut Pro X, and more all of which I will explore in more detail in a future post.
Then there is Touch ID – the secure fingerprint reader that has been on the iPhone and iPad for the last few years. This means I can make secure online purchases from say Apple and The Iconic by using Apple Pay, but I think one of my favourite simple uses for the Touch ID is simply logging into the MacBook by my finger – no more typing in my password!
Lastly, I want to focus on performance and graphics, because after all the MacBook Pro (especially the 15-inch) is highly suitable for those who are going to be using some of the most intensive applications.
I personally use a lot of Adobe applications such as Illustrator, Photoshop, and Lightroom; then there is Final Cut Pro X, CAD Applications, and more. The new MacBook Pro without a doubt provided plenty of performance for the tasks I do, and when playing the graphics-intensive game, Firewatch, not only did it play great, but it has never looked so good thanks to the display.
As a general comment using these tasks is where battery life suffers so I am going to suggest if you are going to do a lot of those tasks – don't forget the charger. Outside of these tasks such as basic emailing, web browsing, document editing, etc. I generally found the battery life to be pretty close to the promised 10 hours, depending on settings.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I am happy with the improvements to the new MacBook Pro and I am excited to see how developers start to implement the Touch Bar into their apps. If you are a Pro user I would suggest the 15-inch because of the dedicated graphics – for everyone else the 13-inch is going to be a great option. There is also a 13-inch model with the same design but without the Touch Bar.
You can learn more or buy a MacBook Pro from Apple including Apple online Australia starting at A$2,199, Apple online New Zealand from NZ$2,499, Apple online US from $1,499, etc with free shipping or pickup (in selected countries), and free returns.

A dental restoration is also called as dental filling. It is a process where a dental restorative material used to restore the function and integrity of missing tooth structure. The structural loss typically results from caries or external trauma.
Why to have a restoration?
If a cavity is detected during a check-up, your dentist can provide a dental filling before it develops into a more serious problem. Dental fillings replace part of a tooth that has been lost because of decay, wear or accidental damage.
What is the material used for restoration?
Fillings can be amalgam (silver coloured) or composite (tooth coloured) which gives a more natural look. Composite fillings give a variety of finishes, and can be made it be virtually undetectable from a natural tooth.
What is involved in Restoration?
Your dentist will prepare the tooth for the filling; numbing the area, removing any decay, old fillings or weak areas of the tooth, shape the hole so that the tooth holds the filling in place, then wash and dry the area by blowing water and air onto it. The filling is then placed into the tooth, and moulded into shape.
