If you have had a chance to check out my Potty Training Tips That Will Actually Work article, you have probably noticed that I take a pretty relaxed approach to potty training. To me, potty training doesn't have to be this huge daunting task for you and your kids. The key is just to be prepared. And lucky for you, you really don't need a ton of things when the time comes to potty train.
You can make potty training as budget friendly or as expensive as you want to. For me, I choose to go with the budget friendly option. So here are a few of my budget friendly potty training essentials.
What you need when you are potty training
Potty seat or potty chair
The first thing is to figure out if you will be using an individual potty chair or if you want a toddler seat cover to put on the regular toilet or both. I personally like to enlist both. The potty chair is great because I can have it easily available. It may sound gross to some, but I like to have the potty chair in the living room where we are at most of the time. That way, my trainer has fast access to it to reduce the risk of accidents. I also like to have a toddler seat cover so as they get more advanced, they can start to learn to go to the bathroom on the regular toilet.
My personal favorite potty seat is the Fisher Price animal potties . They are light weight, easy to empty and clean. It also has a little raised area in the front to help prevent them from peeing outside of the potty. Plus, they don't make sounds!
In case you didn't know this, yes, some of them talk and sing to you and I'm just not about that life.
I also like that these seats are pretty inexpensive and can be found at most retailers throughout the United States. On top of that, they come in cute animal forms like frogs and cows which might help to encourage your child to use it.
I also like the Munchkin Sturdy Potty Seat for in the bathroom. It fits perfectly over the original seat, again has that little lip in the front to help keep the pee where it's supposed to go. It also has handles on the side to help keep little ones from falling off of the potty.
Step stools
The next thing you're going to need is a good step stool. Now I don't spend a fortune on those pretty wooden ones from pottery barn. I go for whatever is the least expensive and easy to clean because pee will inevitably hit these bad boys. So, I tend to like to get the plastic two tier step stools.
The Prince Lionheart Uppy2 step stool is perfect. It's only $16 at target and is the perfect height for little ones to use to climb up on the potty or wash their hands at the sink. Plus, it's plastic so it's easy to clean when they miss the potty.
Having enough underwear for your little one is crucial! They will have accidents, especially at the beginning, so you want to make sure that you have enough for them to wear, and have accidents in, and don't have to wash underwear multiple times a day. I like to have 2-3 packs on hand at any given time. Each pack has anywhere from 7-10 pairs in them so you should end up with around 20-30 pairs of underwear in your arsenal.
Our favorite ones to use are the character undies that you can get from target or Walmart. They only run around $10 per pack and the kids get excited about picking out their favorite characters to wear. So let them pick out a few packs.
flushable wipes
I love to have flushable wipes on hand to help clean up after the kiddos have gone to the potty. To me it's easier and gets them cleaner than regular toilet paper. So we stock up on these for all of the bathrooms. Plus, you can throw them in your bag for easy clean up on the go, just like baby wipes, but they don't take up as much space. You can get cases of these on amazon for around $16.
Rewards can be anything that your child responds to. If your one of those lucky parents that has a kid that responds well to over the top excitement and a fist bump or high five…stick with that. If your kid needs a bit more encouragement, try stickers, or a treasure trunk filled with treats and toys from the dollar store, or M&M's. Do whatever your kids find exciting. Just make sure you have enough so they get a treat every time they go.
Potty training is a big event in your little ones life, hopefully if you go into it prepared, you'll find that it won't be too hard.

Wooden russian sauna "Katusha" 36 m²
The bath was appreciated not only because it gave an opportunity to purify the body from the mud. It is worth recalling pagan beliefs of our ancestors: they worshiped fire due to its purifying and destructive power, and water, because they considered it a source of life. Therefore, the combination of fire and water in the bath was regarded as the most important medicine. They also believed that only the purity of the body can keep the purity of the soul.
By the way, even ancient Greeks knew about the medicinal properties of the russian bathhouse, or "banya".
Russian "banya" – it's not just a wooden house, it's a part of Russian traditions and history. It will take a lot of time to explain the real role of the bath-house called "banya" in the Russian way of life – or what used to be the way of life in peasant Russia. It was, and in some areas still is, an institution – much like the ancient Roman baths, the Turkish baths, the Japanese baths, or the Finnish saunas, the difference being that Russian bath-houses are family affairs, not public institutions.
With Russia's severe climate, warming oneself in the steam of the bath-house, rolling naked in the snow or dipping in an ice-hole in a lake or river to cool off, is a real delight. Steaming oneself in the bath-hut was also a necessary prelude to a religious or any other kind of feast, a remedy for nearly all types of illnesses, and sometimes an act of preparation for death.
Banya buildings can be quite large. Russian banyas usually have three rooms: a steam room, a washing room and an entrance room. The entrance room, called a predbannik (предбанник) or pre-bath, has pegs to hang clothing upon and benches to rest on.
Here you can find different models of Archiline wooden bath-houses, or so-called "banyas". Also here you can find projects of saunas, grill houses and arbors.
This is a cozy room with a squat roof with a total area of about forty square meters. Having a really spacious lounge area, it's perfect for relaxing with family and friends. You can place two sofas here with a tiny table, besides, there is enough space it to be equipped with a small kitchen.

R by 45RPM Soho: Valentines Day Two Big Red Hearts
The other day I made a stop by one of the most underrated shops in NYC… R by 45rpm SoHo. Filled with sand gardens, zen fountains, old wooden floors and smelling of incense; an amazing store where the majority of the items are handmade in Japan.
This Valentines Day R by 45rpm SoHo has decided to re-invent the idea of giving flowers. Rather than getting the same, tired old bouquet of flowers, it's time to think outside the box and really wow them with our beautiful arrangements of floral pieces.

LP - Ted Lucas - Ted Lucas
In 1968, Ted Lucas returned to Detroit following a stint in Los Angeles that saw the release of Reprise singles with his psych-rock acts Spike Drivers and Misty Wizards. Then a new father, he paid his bills by working as Motown's in-house Indian instruments specialist, playing sitar on tracks by the Temptations and the Supremes. At home he focused on his acoustic guitar technique, studying with Harihar Rao and, later, Ravi Shankar. A manic perfectionist, he devoted days at home to recording miles of raga guitar tracks, not atypically on a Gibson J-45. "Raga in D," the track which opens The Detroit Folk Scene, Volume 1 (Volume 2 never surfaced), may or may not be a transcription of a preexisting Indian raga. This was around the time that Ted founded an eclectic blues/modal Middle Eastern/folk band called the Horny Toads. An omnivorous listener and night owl, Lucas could rock out with the best of them, but left to his own devices, he seems to have been drawn back to the sort of quiet, mysterious chords heard on this track. One self-titled solo album would follow in 1974, but though Ted continued to play, he never released another album. He died in 1992.
"It's so easy when you know what you're doing," sings Ted Lucas on the second track of his 1975 self-titled LP. Maybe not intentionally created to be such, but that line sticks as a mantra for Ted as a musician. Spending hours daily practicing and learning, Ted effortlessly played and improvised on a slew of string-instruments, mainly guitar. A native of Detroit, Ted studied classical guitar at Wayne State University and various string instruments abroad. He was Motown's "exotic string specialist" until they moved operations to Los Angeles. Technically best termed a rock guitarist, Ted was a founding member of The Spike Drivers, The Misty Wizards, The Horny Toads and more. But, none of his projects feel more meaningful than his solo, self-titled LP, sometimes referred to as 'The Om Album.'
Released on Om Records (his own imprint) in 1975 and re-issued on Yoga Records in 2010, the album is a masterpiece of multiple genres and a cohesive melancholic feeling enlivened by a certain sense of hope. The first six tracks are smoothly and gracefully repetitive. Thickly layered harmonies and lyrical pictures are painted against a swaying backdrop of acoustic guitar. A blissful world of slightly psychedelic folk is created in the sincere delivery of the sparse arrangements, each track touching on a series of loving sentiments.
Continuing with a revitalized energy, the album goes on to explore the other sides of Ted's musicality. "Robins Ride" is a rhythmically focused instrumental lead by syncopated guitar strums in all octaves. It nods more deeply to the more "exotic" types of music made with string instruments that Ted had studied, thereby separating itself from the tracks before it. "Sonny Boy Blues" furthers that distance from folk as it dives deeply into improvised blues that patiently progresses into a cautionary refrain. Ted appropriately ends on his most expressive and individualized number, "Love and Peace Raga." Though not an actual raga, the song incorporates textures, rhythms, textures, and pacing from classical Indian music. Like the rest of Ted's music, it captures a pervasive feeling in a transcendental musical journey.

While the Mueller report does not find evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Russians and the Trump campaign, the picture it paints is, frankly, devastating: its narrative exposes a cascade of lies, coverups, and corruption, while providing a clear road map to the president's attempts to obstruct the investigation. At times it reads like an open invitation to Congress to launch impeachment proceedings.
It's that bad.
The (redacted) Mueller report is out, and it's apparently quite a read. Sykes is a well-regarded conservative writer, not of the knee-jerk variety. None of what he discusses is the least bit surprising. An example:
This has always been Donald Trump's modus operandi, hung out by Mueller's team like so much filthy laundry.
But the evidence does indicate that a thorough FBI investigation would uncover facts about the campaign and the President personally that the President could have understood to be crimes or that would give rise to personal and political concerns. [Mueller, p.76]
This has always been Donald Trump's modus operandi, hung out by Mueller's team like so much filthy laundry.

Are you considering orthodontic treatment as an adult? No matter how old you are, you deserve to feel confident in your smile! Here are our answers to some frequently asked questions about adult braces that we hope will help prepare you for your journey, no matter what your age may be.
How many orthodontic patients are adults?
According to our own renowned orthodontist in Alpharetta, Georgia Dr. Nima Hajibak, "Many used to think that braces were only for teens, almost a rite of passage, but that isn't always true anymore, as more adults are realizing the benefits braces can provide. In fact, adults make up nearly half of all orthodontic patients today." Some adults are self conscious about getting braces later in life because they do not want to be the only ones with braces in the workplace or the dating pool, but adult braces are becoming more and more common as orthodontics advance and more options are available.
Why the wait?
A lot of people end up waiting until adulthood to get braces for financial reasons. Once you have access to a health insurance plan that will help you pay for orthodontic treatment, or advance to a place in your career where you are financially stable enough to fund your braces, it becomes much more possible to research your options and start your treatment.
Another reason that many patients end up waiting until adulthood to get braces is for corrective purposes. Unfortunately, some patients experience ineffective orthodontic treatment in their youth that requires another round of orthodontic care in adulthood. Even if your first orthodontic treatment was successful, if you do not keep up with your retainers your teeth can move back to their original places as you grow and require another phase of braces in adulthood.
Are discreet options available?
Braces are becoming more and more popular among adults, and this is partially due to more discreet and personalized options available in orthodontics today. While more traditional metal braces are still available and effective, patients can now also explore options like clear or ceramic braces, which are less noticeable on the teeth. Some orthodontic issues can also be fixed with Invisalign, a series of clear retainer-like trays that are removable for meal times and very discreet in appearance. These options help you maintain your confidence in professional and social environments as an adult throughout your treatment time.
You're never too old to fall in love with your smile! If you're ready to learn more about your orthodontic options as an adult, schedule a consultation with our office today!

Do you use CBD Oils?
Have you heard of CBD oils? Have you ever tried CBD oils? If you've never tried CBD oils then you are truly missing out on an all-natural solution to some of life's problems.

If you have previously explored Guangzhou (see 5 Spectacular Things to Do in Guangzhou and 5 More Things to Do in Guangzhou), Macau is a worthy side trip between sessions of the China Import and Export Commodities Fair. If you time your travel to avoid the busiest border crossing times, the trip takes about 4 hours from your hotel in Guangzhou to your hotel in Macau.
If you are planning to exit and re-enter mainland China, make sure that you get a multiple-entry visa! Macau is a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of the People's Republic of China. It has a separate visa and entry administration. US citizens may travel to Macao visa-free for a short visit or tourism.
Day 1
Traveling to Macau by train is very easy. To avoid the reportedly very long afternoon lines at the Gongbei Port land crossing (up to 2 hours to exit China and enter Macau), we rose early and took the subway to Guangzhou South Train Station. The subway ride from our location (Yuexiu Park Station) takes about 40 minutes.
Guangzhou South Railway Station is huge. After arriving, follow the signs to Ticket Counter 3.
The signs will lead you outside – simply follow the other people! Purchase tickets to Zhuhai Train Station. Do not pick a time too soon for your departure. There are many trains making the journey and, if you do not give yourself time to get through security and to find the correct platform, you may miss your train. Our train platform was changed after purchasing our ticket, and we had to rush in order to catch it!
A terrific site for information is China Highlights. We found the link for train times very useful. While you can purchase the tickets online, we chose to be flexible and purchase second class tickets at the station (70 CNY/ 11 USD each).
The comfortable high-speed train takes about 1 hour to make the journey to Zhuhai. After arriving and exiting the train station, follow the people and signs to the border crossing. The morning immigration process was painless and it took us less than 20 minutes to exit China through the Gongbei Port and to enter Macau through the Portas do Cerco.
After exiting Portas do Cerco, turn left and take one of the free shuttle buses to your casino of choice!
On our previous visit it to Macau (see Hong Kong and Macau, China), we chose to stay on the Macau Peninsula and did not even visit the glitzy Cotai Strip. Home of the world's largest casino (The Venetian Macao), the Cotai Strip is reclaimed land that connects what used to be two separate islands: Taipa and Coloane. We chose to stay directly across from the Venetian and Parisian in the Sands Cotai Central Holiday Inn (140 USD/night).
The Sands Cotai Central has 2 casinos with over 17,000 square meters of gaming space. While you don't need to leave in order to stay entertained, it is conveniently connected by air-conditioned walkways to the Venetian and Parisian.
We arrived early for check-in, so we dropped our bags and spent the morning playing in the casino before having a very nice lunch at the large food court. We checked into our room at 2 PM, showered, rested for a while, and then headed back to the casino!
In the evening, we took the free shuttle bus from the City of Dreams (next door to our hotel) to the Peninsula to visit Senado Square and eat delicious Macau pork chop buns. The bus ride takes 10-15 minutes and drops you near the Grand Emperor Hotel. The walk from the bus stop to Senado Square is about 10 minutes.
The shuttle hours are 10:30 AM – 11 PM. It is a very convenient way to visit the historical sites and casinos on the Peninsula.
Day 2
Hiking Coloane Trail – We were excited to rise early for an energizing hike on the Coloane Trail. The 8100 meter trail is Macau's longest hiking trail. To get to the trail, we walked next door to the public bus stop in front of City of Dreams and took bus 25 to Seac Pai Van Park bus stop. The bus stop is in front of the A-Ma ornamental entrance gate. Seac Pai Van Park is open from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM and is home to the famous Macao Giant Panda Pavilion.
Other buses that go to the park are: 15, 21A, 25, 26, 26A, 50, and N3. Collect coins if you plan on utilizing public buses; you will need exact change. Look at the signposts located at the bus stops to know how much the fare will be. You can explore the most current bus routes at the Transportation Bureau website.
Rather than walking up the road to the trailhead, we walked into Seac Pai Van Park and found a trail that intersects the Coloane Trail.
It is easy to customize the length and difficulty of your hike utilizing the informative trail maps that are located in the park and along the easy-to-follow trails.
The trails offer great views. While they are not overly difficult, they do have steep sections that are great exercise.
A highlight of the hike was visiting A-Ma Cultural Village near the north summit. The main attraction, Tin Hau Temple, is stunningly detailed and one of the most beautiful temples that we have ever visited. Note that it is often confused with Macau's oldest temple built in 1763 that is also located in Coloane and goes by the same name, Tin Hau Temple.
There is a free shuttle bus that goes between the parking lot near A-Ma ornamental entrance gate and the temple. This is an option to keep in mind if you just want to visit the temple, start your hike at the top, or you are exhausted from your hike up and would prefer to ride back down!
After visiting the temple, we walked a short distance uphill to see the 20 meter tall, white jade A-Ma goddess statue. According to legend, the goddess protected fisherman and merchants who sailed to Macau. When the Portuguese settled on the island, they called the land "Macau", meaning the "port of A-Ma".
After viewing the statue, we headed back down the mountain toward Seac Pai Van Park and the Macao Giant Panda Pavilion.
Macao Giant Panda Pavilion (10 HKD / 1.25 USD each) – The pavilion is closed on Mondays (closed on the following day instead if a public holiday falls on Monday). There are six one hour viewing sessions: 10 AM, 11 AM, 12 PM, 2 PM, 3 PM, 4 PM (Last entry is 4:45 PM).
We visited the Panda Pavilion at 2 PM after having lunch at the food stand in the park. The pandas are hilarious and very cute. We especially enjoyed watching the antics of the two mischievous panda cubs with their mother.
It was fascinating how the pandas prepare a bundle of bamboo leaves in their mouths and then hold it in their fist while they eat it.
After viewing the pandas, we explored the rest of the park before walking to the condos across the street to find a grocery store. There is a very nice ParknShop grocery store where food and drinks cost 1/5 the cost of the same items at the casino. We purchased snacks and drinks before catching the bus back to our hotel.
In the evening, we walked to the Parisian Theatre to watch the fantastic and exciting show, La Parisienne Cabaret Francais (132 HKD / 17 USD each). The show runs from March 16 – June 17. Ticket prices are listed at 188 MOP (HKD), but we were able to get a discount by simply walking to the concierge and asking. To see what shows are available during your visit, check out Cotai Ticketing.
Day 3
Hiking Grand Taipa Trail – The 4000 meter Grande Taipa Hiking Trail is within easy walking distance of the Cotai Strip. We simply walked north to the pedestrian circle – the Rotunda do Istmo. From the circle, we walked toward the inclined elevator that is easily visible in the distance. The elevator is free and takes you to the hiking trail and observation deck.
From the observation deck you have views of the Rotunda do Istmo and Cotai Strip.
After enjoying the views, we started our hike toward the the highest point in Taipa, which is 159 meters above sea level.
The hiking is good exercise and very convenient to the Cotai Strip, but it is not as high quality or challenging as the Coloane Trail.
After our quick hike, we took the inclined elevator back down and walked toward Taipa Village. Our first stop was at the Taipa Houses, a museum comprised of five distinctive Portuguese green houses built in 1921. The houses have been trasformed into the "Macanese Living Museum", the "Exhibitions Gallery", the "Creative Casa", the "Nostalgic House" and the "House for Receptions".
Taipa Village – We continued our walk by heading to the historic cobblestone food street, Rue de Cunha. This area reminds us very much of Senado Square, and we had a great time wandering around and eating several meals!
Macau Jockey Club Horse Racing (free entry to the public stands) – To get to the track, we crossed the street and caught Bus 26 in front of the Parisian. Having enjoyed the high energy and enthusiasm of Hong Kong's horse racing (see Hong Kong – Hiking and Horse Racing!), we were excited to see what Macau had to offer. Unfortunately, there were very few people at the track. I guess with so many other options for losing money without stepping out of your hotel, horse racing is not very popular. We bet on one race, won a Win and Place, cashed our ticket, and decided to leave.
We walked to a bus stop across the street and jumped on the first bus headed to the Peninsula. We visited Senado Square and had egg tarts before spending the evening at our favorite casino in Macau – Casino Lisboa. To return to our hotel, we simply took the free City of Dreams shuttle bus.
Day 4
We slept in and enjoyed our hotel room before checking out and taking the hotel shuttle back to the border. Immigration once again went quickly. Purchasing train tickets, on the other hand, took over half an hour! The line was very long and did not seem to move. To get the earliest available train, we had to purchase standing tickets. Since they cost the same as tickets with seats (70 CNY/ 11 USD each), you should book ahead if securing a seat for the 1 hour train ride is important.
Make sure you get into the correct line for purchasing your train tickets; they do not all sell tickets to the same destinations. We saw many frustrated and angry people who had to start all over again.
We had a fantastic time in Macau. Our time went very quickly, and the amount of time was just about perfect. Any less and we would have been left wanting more, any more and we may have grown bored. My favorite activities were hiking the Coloane Trail and getting to see the Giant Pandas.
Currency: HKD vs MOP – We purchased HKD before we left to go to China. We chose HKD over MOP because, even though you lose value paying with HKD vs MOP in Macau, the casino gambling at the Sands Cotai is in HKD. In addition, after the trip it is much easier to sell remaining HKD than MOP. The small percentage lost making purchases can be negated on any leftover money that must be exchanged. Do the math and see which option works best for your trip.

Eurocultura organizes the accommodation by local householders: they could be family, couples or people living alone. The participants should get in touch as soon as possible with the local reality: in this way they can integrate better into the Italian everyday life, have a direct perspective on the culture of Vicenza and improve their language skills. Certainly, English knowledge facilitates the communication.
The accommodations are carefully selected by Eurocultura: the most important criterion is the interest showed by the householders in having a cultural and language exchange with people from other countries.
The accommodation can be in single or in double room. In many cases the bathroom is shared. The accommodation is on a self-catering treatment, that means the kitchen is at the participants' disposal, so they can prepare their meals independently, depending on their working hours and their habits. Anyway, a welcome dinner and the first-day breakfast (Italian style) are always guaranteed. Linen and towels are included, while the washing machine and an Internet access are not always guaranteed. Every host will have his/her personal key and will be responsible for the tiding up of the shared rooms. Cleanness and safety of the accommodation are regularly checked.
Mutual respect and adaptability are always the key to a good living together.
As agreed with the sending organization, Eurocultura collects a 50,00 € security deposit in case of damages or violations of the internal regulations to find here.
The amount will be collected the day after the arrival during the presentation of the programme.
Should it be necessary to supplement the already paid fee, for amounts over € 50,00, Eurocultura will ask the participant to pay the difference on site.
If there is no reason to retain part or the entire security deposit, the amount will be fully refunded immediately before the participant's departure.
By special request and according to availability, Eurocultura can also arrange the accommodation in shared apartments.

To receive an estimate about your building, please contact us for a survey. One of our friendly surveyors will come out and do a professional dampness survey FREE of charge. At the end of the survey we can give you on the spot an accurate estimate and answer any questions you might have.
The quoted price includes the DPC system (hardware) and related services: the installation and long-term monitoring of the building. We typically come back every 6-12 months to assess the progress of dehydration through professional follow-up moisture measurements, until the building dries out. These are all included in the quoted price.
Thus the price is project dependent - similar to the price of a new kitchen or bathroom which depends on the size, features and complexity of the job. In our case, the main variables that affect the price are:
- Size (ground floor footprint) of the building
- Thickness of walls
- Size of the installed system
- Estimated length and complexity of the project
- Your timeline: urgency factors etc.
As a guideline: the dehydration of a small / normal sized residential building costs about the same as an injected DPC (damp proof course). Larger buildings cost less than competing solutions, sometimes significantly less and in comparison our solution is non-invasive, permanent, it does not have to be redone after a number of years, and the price also includes the long-term monitoring of the building.
Technical Guarantees
We guarantee the correct functioning of our dehydration systems for a period of 25 years, however the reliability and life expectancy of the units is significantly longer, about 100 years as there are no moving parts prone to breakdown.
Freestanding walls (above ground level walls or walls not in direct contact with soil): we guarantee that all freestanding walls under 600 mm will dry out and reach air-dry state within 3 years, assuming all other moisture sources interfering with the dehydration process have been rectified. The dehydration of thicker walls can take longer, which we let you know during the initial survey.
Underground walls: due to unknown technical factors, the complete dehydration of underground walls can't be guaranteed unless they are free from sideways penetrating moisture as a result of additional technical measures (e.g. retainer walls, vertical barrier, drainage etc.) implemented by the Client.
Money-Back Guarantee
We offer money-back guarantee in case our dehydration system fails to resolve the problem of rising damp. For clarity, it is important to specify here, that solving other sources of moisture (e.g. rainwater ingress, leaks, dampness resulting from pointing problems etc.) for which the dehydration system has not been designed to solve does not constitute a failure of the system and thus is not covered by our money-back guarantee. This is just common sense.
In addition to rising damp, many other types of moisture sources (e.g. leaks, water ingress etc). can also affect the building fabric and overlap with rising damp, thus the remedy of these other moisture sources also becomes relevant and important. We do our best to spot and let you know about these occurrences, however they are not always obvious, especially at the beginning of the dehydration period, when in a very damp building it can be difficult to judge how much of the moisture is rising, falling or penetrating. Some moisture types can also be seasonal, e.g. interstitial (in-depth) condensation which occurs during the cold months but it's non-existent during summer. Thus not every effect is always known or obvious from the very beginning, sometimes it can take a full year (a cycle of all 4 seasons) to get the "full picture".
Due to the complexity of buildings and their interaction with moisture sources, it is almost impossible to foresee every scenario that can affect the course of dehydration, however certain materials and renovation techniques are known to create problems or are considered industry "bad practices". The following cases are thus excluded from the money-back guarantee:
- Damp patches on the surface of the walls during / after the dehydration: just because the surface of the walls looks damp it does not mean that the core of the walls is damp, or rising damp has not been sorted, or the dehydration system has not worked. Most often surface dampness after the installation of the dehydration system is due renovation mistakes and not rising damp. Here are the most common ones that can make a wall surface look damp or spotty:
- Presence of salts: salts being hygroscopic (able to attract moisture from the air) can make the wall surface look damp even when the core of the wall in dry.
- Incorrect plaster and building materials, or incorrect renovation procedures: renovating the walls with the wrong type of plaster can make the surface of the walls look wet or spotty, despite of the fact that the core of the walls is in fact dry. In extreme cases, salts can even "recycle" humidity back into the walls.
- Skimming the walls instead of completely re-plastering it. This is known to create problems; the fresh plaster will be contaminated by ground salts within a few months, ruining the appearance of plaster.
- Dot-and-dabbing of plasterboard instead of mounting it onto battens. Salts migrate through the glue patches into the plasterboard, ruining its appearance. For longevity reasons the use of galvanized steel battens are recommended.
- Presence of salts: salts being hygroscopic (able to attract moisture from the air) can make the wall surface look damp even when the core of the wall in dry.
- Less than 2 years: the dehydration system has to work long enough in the building to get the job done, especially if other sources of moisture are suspected to be present and interfere with the dehydration. While a large percentage of residential buildings dry out in about 1 - 1.5 years, in some cases (e.g. thick walls, very porous or damp building fabric etc.) this can take longer.
- The client has changed it's mind and does not want the system anymore.
Most goods and services in the UK are covered by a 14-30 days cooling-off period or money-back guarantee. Even Amazon's return policy is limited to 30 days and they are one of the most generous companies in this regard.
Whether you believe it or not, a small number of clients who - despite of the good results - wanted to return our dehydration system 6 or 12 months after the installation under the pretense that they are "not happy" with the results. To protect ourselves from such fake claims we have included this clause here.
In real life such cases are far and few in-between. The vast majority of buildings dry out without issues. Most problems can also be easily rectified, and we do that proactively, even before it becomes a problem. We stand 100% behind what we do and rest assured, we will do everything to get your building dry, and if our system fails to work and solve the rising damp problem we will give your money back.
We must have attempted to rectify the problem before initiating any refund request.
Once the wall fabric has reached air-dry state and the building became dry, the money-back guarantee ceases (after all the system has worked) and it will be replaced by our 25-year functional warranty.

Kids Acts Philippines Presents: ROMEO AND JULIETPosted By: Star Powerhouse - Oktubre 24, 2014
& CommentTweet
As a season offering to all young adults, Kids Acts Philippines proudly presents " ROMEO AND JULIET " edited with additional lyrics by LUIGI NACARIO and music by EUGENE BELBIS.
What the story of the William Shakespeare's novel Romeo and Juliet??
This William Shakespeare's novel will be staged by maintaining the classic requirement of the play from costumes to the set. The music is composed through a fusion of western and eastern with contemporary flavor. "Romeo and Juliet" is simplified without sacrificing the original texts of Shakespeare to let young adults understand and comprehend on how the play is written. In the play, dialogues are sung with full observance of how phrases are being read.
IN THE TOWN OF VERONA, there were two rival families, the Montagues and the Capulets, involved in a family feud that goes back years before any of the members were born. One night, the Capulets held a supper at their house inviting friends and relatives of their own. Though a Montague, Romeo attended the party to forget his love for Rosaline. During the night he met Juliet and immediately fell in love with her. To his dismay he found out that she was a Capulet. But still, he pursued his feelings towards her, that after the supper he decided to jump inside the Capulet's yard to express his love for Juliet. In the balcony, they confessed their love for each other and agreed to secretly marry the next day. Afterwards, Romeo went to Friar Lawrence, told everything about his new love and asked for a blessing of marriage. Friar Lawrence agreed to marry them, thinking it would end the feud between the two families. Unfortunately, the situation became worse. It all started when Mercutio, Romeo's friend, died in a fight with Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. Romeo killed Tybalt in an angry range, which caused him banished from Verona. On the other hand, the Capulets were planning Juliet's marriage to County Paris, a kinsman of the Prince. Juliet was not in favor of marrying the man so she asked Friar Lawrence to fake her own death by drinking a sleeping potion that will make everyone believe she was truly dead. The Friar agreed and promised to send word to Romeo to meet Juliet when the potion wears off and to rescue her to Mantua, where Romeo was currently staying and there they will live as couple. Accidentally, Romeo didn't receive the message on time. His friend informed him about Juliet's death, he went right away to her tomb and bid farewell by drinking a poison and died. At that time, Juliet awakened and found her husband with no life beside her. Sadly, she got Romeo's dagger, stabbed herself and died. The Montagues and Capulets mourned for the two lovers and with their shared sorrow, they, at last, made peace with each other.
Discover what's in a name that made the houses of Capulets and Montagues' family feud became a remorseful tragedy?

Tobacco Use and Oral HealthJuly 17, 2017 | Posted in Education
Most people know about the impact that tobacco has on their overall health, but people often don't consider its effect on oral health. The following are some of the possible oral health problems that smoking or chewing tobacco can cause.
Tooth discolouration
Persistent bad breath
Gum disease
Mouth sores
Different sense of taste and smell
Oral cancer
Smoking interferes with the normal function of gum tissue cells, which makes one more susceptible to gum (periodontal) disease. This interference also impairs the flow of blood in the gums, which causes wounds to take longer to heal.
We at the Rideau Dental Centre are always available to diagnose the above oral effects and assist you in a smoking cessation plan. Take a look at the Canadian Cancer Society's website smokershelpline.ca for some great resources.
When you visit our office we always complete a thorough oral examination. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us by calling 613-230-7475.

amazon GoPro Hero 7 Black reviews
- Hyper-Vibration Shake Ability
First of all, let's say the Hyper Smooth feature is talked about by GoPro pretty much when launching Hero 7 Black, and right on the box of this product, Hyper Smooth is still referred to and highlighted with the smoothest line of ads with a gimbal.
Actually, after experiencing this feature is worth the most money on GoPro Hero 7. Day, night, mounted on the driver's hand, the fork of the car or handheld GoPro will give you a very smooth image.
But Hyper Smooth has a very strange disadvantage. It can withstand very high vibration in the most vibrating scenery, but if the user is holding hands and panning is very smooth and light, there is the phenomenon of jerky photos on GoPro Hero 6 ago. CameraTest tried on different resolutions like FullHD 1080 and 4K at 30p have suffered from this phenomenon. But if only in normal mode, this phenomenon does not appear. This is a temporary weakness of the software, hopefully in the future, GoPro will have the modifications on the software updates later.
- Super Photo
Super Photo is another highlight that users need is to take pictures while traveling. GoPro is no longer an action camera for travels, it is also capable of taking good pictures. With Super 7's Super Photo, the wide dynamic range is better but still holds good contrast, giving the image a fresh and clear color.
CameraTest has tested this feature and feel GoPro Hero 7 is good for travel photography, but for normal photography, should not enable this feature because the image processing time is quite long, besides , the image overlaps the layers. Super Photo on Hero 7 Black is good for landscape, landscape.
- Evaluate Time Warp Video
Speaking of features, the camera is the most impressive with Hyper Smooth image stabilization. But the visual effect that GoPro Hero 7 brings the most impressive is the Time Warp Video. The ability to create clips up to 2x faster than normal, 5x, 10x or even 30 times to create impressive effects. It's a combination of Timelapse and Hyper-Smooth Image Stabilization that you can carry, mount on your car and create extremely smooth clips at high speed.
However, in the Time Warp Video mode, the highest quality 4K only outputs 16: 9 frames and Wide angle without Super View. But even with wide angle, users will be impressed by this feature.
- Image quality.
The quality of the images on the GoPro Hero 7 has improved a lot compared to the previous Hero 6. First of all, the ability to eliminate noise, although not really good but has improved quite a lot. The ability to shoot movies at night with the new Hyper Smooth really makes the Hero 7 Black superior to the previous version. On GoPro Hero 6, when the anti-shake vibration is turned on at night, the image will have an algorithmic overlap and slower processing times on the Hero 7 Black. Users no longer have to worry about having to spend the night shopping on Gimbal shopping trips.
Take a picture
Screenshots from GoPro Hero 7 have improved the quality of image files quite well. Better image processing than Hero 6. Super Photo is a great improvement on the Hero 7 Black, however, this feature is only good for landscape shots because taking multiple layers with different brightness levels. Each other will cause piling phenomenon when capturing subjects moving fast.
- Livestream
Livestream on social networks is a trendy feature and attracts Hero 6 users to upgrade when it is possible to livestream the action or beautiful scenery when traveling immediately. To use this feature, users must download the GoPro App to the smartphone and update the firmware of the Hero 7 so that it can be used more easily.
Biareview realized that GoPro Hero 7 Black is a good upgrade version of GoPro with excellent anti-shake. However, it is necessary to have basic software updates to make it more perfect in panning situations.

When it comes to captivating eyes, nothing stands out more than beautiful lashes. Try any of these simple methods for fuller eyelashes.
Thin or short eyelashes are the worst. A face simply looks more radiant and beautiful if it has a pair of long, thick and perfectly curved lashes.
There are many factors that can lead to malnourished eyelashes, such as certain genetics, medical conditions, diets and of course the use of makeup. However, there are several ways you can treat your lashes at home and have them looking better than ever in no time.
Olive Oil
Is there anything olive oil can't do? Apparently not. Its richness in vitamin E and oleic acid helps both nourish and add volume to your eyelashes. It also helps them maintain a darker hue, making them move vibrant and noticeable.
To do this you need to be extra careful. Warm some olive oil, but only for a few second because it could easily cause burns to your sensitive eyelids if it's too hot. Before going to bed, use an old mascara brush or a cotton swab to apply the olive oil to your lashes as you would mascara.
Leave it on overnight and clean it off in the morning using lukewarm water.
Castor Oil
Castor oil is one of the best ways to beautiful eyelashes as it not only stimulates follicles and nourishes, but also helps fight off damaging microbes.
Before going to bed, apply some castor oil to your lashes using a mascara brush or cotton swab. For more effectiveness, add a few drops vitamin E oil, mix and then apply.
Leave the mix on overnight and clean it off in the morning using lukewarm water.
Lemon Peels
Lemons are rich in vitamins C and B, folic acid, and other nutrients that can help add volume to your eyelashes.
Grab a small container, throw in some slightly dried lemon peels and soak them in either castor oil or olive oil, and let them set for about 10 to 15 days. Once ready, apply the oil mix to your lashes as instructed above.
Leave the mix on overnight and clean it off in the morning using lukewarm water.
Massage Your Eyelids
Stimulating blood flow to your eyelids can make all the difference in the world, as more nutrients would reach the follicles.
Wash your hand thoroughly and apply a few drops of olive/castor oil, petroleum jelly or shea butter to your eyelids and rub it in gently.
Using your fingertips, massage your lids in small, circular motions twice daily, for around 5 minutes.
Keep The Lashes Clean
Sometimes all it takes is a bit of maintenance. Dust, dirt and microbes can clog your follicles and prevent natural growth.
Apply a few drops of vitamin E oil or petroleum jelly onto your eyelashes and comb through them gently using a soft eyelash brush or comb.
Follow one or more of these methods over the period of one to three months for the best results.

First Heard in April 2010 - "raisin' heck"
I have been listening to the same music since college, so I devised a little project that will spur me to actively pursue new jams. Each month, I will post a mix of the best songs that I heard for the first time within those 30 or so days. Won't you follow me on this journey? Thrill to the futuresounds? Mock me for being late to the party?
I couldn't stay away. I heard way too much good stuff this month and I have way too much fun making these mixes. So after a three-month hiatus, "First Heard in..." is back for 2010. Turn this one up loud.

Drunk Drunk Revolution is a DMN remix. It is a remix of the song "Dance Dance Revolution" from Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, with the "lyrics" being composed of drunken conversations, mostly involving DMN and Skie.
(Drunk Drunk Revolution is also the "One More Extra Stage" in Orange Lounge Revolution 1st MIX.)
Lyrics Edit
(note: may not be 100% accurate)
(DMN) All right, I'm sick of letting these people talk. It's time to be an attention whore again. Screw what Ranma has to say I'm gonna boot up Skype and kick everyone's ass. (Travis) Shut up, Rob! Rob-Rob-Rob-Rob-Rob-Rob (DMN) I was a diver, though Y'know what, fuck this, I'm having another shot, hold on (Travis) Yeah, hi, welcome to Dick's, can I help you? Would you like some Dick's? (Skie) D'ya ever go to Duck Island? (DMN) Your mom goes to Duck Island. (Skie) [laughter] (DMN) Haha, I'm so hilarious, hold on, hold on (Skie) So wha-what-what's gonna-- (DMN) I want to every-- no, hold on. I want-- (Skie) Are you gonna work with a hangover tomorrow? Or are you gonna have to call in sick? (DMN) I'm not taking two shots! You can die in a fire, okay? Rob. (Skie) What? (DMN) Rob. (Skie) What? (DMN) Rob. (Skie) What?! (DMN) Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. (Skie) I am gonna hang up on your ass (DMN) Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. Rob. (Skie) DMN wrote "Uh, F, you are an asspiper, LOL" Did you hear that, everybody? I'm an asspiper. I'm an asspiper. Asspiper. Asspiper. Asspiper. (Nelly) "Hey Nelly, you don't have a soul, cuz I'm drunk!" That's what he's saying right now And now he goes, "You're funny! Bwahahaha!" (Skie) Hey, DMN! Hey, du-dude, DMN, do me a favor! I want you to call the All Games voicemail Yes -- no, I want -- no -- n-no, no, w-wa-wait - Call the All Games voicemail And leave something that you're gonna call Bobby Blackwolf out Tell -- tell him that you -- I want you to call him and call Bobby Blackwolf out To the bike racks after school (Skie) Jessica and I just split a Warp Core Breach, but I think I had more of it And I'm - I'm pretty fucked up right now, but I'm not drunk, I swear. (Travis) SHUT UP, ROB! (DMN) Drunk Drunk Revolution!

text: Guest Posted June 6, 2003 Greetings,I'm just learning how to set up AI traffic and I specifically want to try to set up vessels moving around the water under AI control while I attempt to fly aircraft in formation. Basically, want to set up video captures for US Coast Guard training development.Granted, on other option would be to use multi-player and have one person drive the boat while someone else flys the aircraft. But, I'd rather set this all up on a standalone for individual use.I've downloaded TTools, but still not sure if what I'm trying to do is not outside the scope of FS2002 AI.Any suggestions...?Thanks, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

- Driving requires full attention and focus. Distracted driving has become a major issue nationwide and increases your risk when driving in rural areas.
- Using a cell phone and texting have become one of the leading causes of driver distraction. This puts drivers and their passengers at risk.

I managed to handle several complicated wordpress plugins but i simply cant get mp3s uploaded and make them playable/downloadble using a flash player. fancy or not fancy.
Since you stand as the messiah for musicians who is so technical as well. Dont you think it is a good idea to have atleast one 5 minute video tutorial or something for people like me. In fact this is my second try after months with discography and i am still clueless or maybe i am loosing patience in life.
Some help could make me a star. And you could go on to be star makers too.
Not yet. I mean, you could pull all that data out of the database, but you'd have to know PHP programming]]>
I have around 6 artists on my fansite and they have a massive discography and I'd like to split it up a bit =)]]>
if some one knows please write me or write here for everyone can use this later…]]>

text: There is consistent conversation about the security of your data and the best ways to minimize the risk of losing it. At some point in this conversation the topic of mobile devices comes up. The general consensus is that the more places your staff can access their work, the more they can get done, and how could it not? With smartphones becoming as predominant as coffee mugs, and the nature of mobile devices that have the capability of hopping from one network to the next, how can you ignore that the devices themselves are a data-loss risk?

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a particle diffusion effect for text, as shown below, in Blender. In order to complete this tutorial, you should have the latest version of Blender (version 2.78c is featured in this tutorial), and having a fast processor or GPU is recommended, since it lessens rendering time and the former is necessary for previewing the motion of hundreds of thousands of particles at a fair frame rate.
This tutorial is suitable for beginner Blender users; it is fairly easy to follow and complete, and assumes the reader has little prior knowledge of the program.
The project could be exported as frames and used simply as a title in a movie, the other possible uses are endless.
This tutorial goes into great detail explaining how to recreate this effect in Blender, broken down into major sections. At the beginning, the tutorial begins with creating and customizing the text object to your liking, in terms of choosing a preferred font, before proceeding to convert the newly created text object into a mesh object, which will be used as a particle source.
Next, you will disable gravity, add a particle system and add a physical force to the scene which will allow the particles to diffuse. Lastly, the next step will involve creating a volumetric shader container mesh and create a material, and use a 'Point Density' node to allow shading of the particles.
Please make sure to save your Blender project frequently while completing this tutorial, just in case a crash occurs, which may occur when rendering, after changes to the volumetric shader material.
In a new scene, switch from 'Blender Render' to 'Cycles Render', press 'a' to select, press delete then begin the tutorial.
First, you will need a source for the particles to emit from.
Once you are satisfied with the appearance of the text object, you can begin to make the text object into a particle source. The text will have to be converted to mesh and this is done by pressing Alt+C, and selecting 'Mesh from Curve'.
Let's rename the newly converted mesh object into something meaningful, such as 'CoolTitle' by selecting the `Object` tab in the properties panel:
Before adding the particle system, let's disable gravity by going into the scene properties tab, and unticking the 'Gravity' option:
Then, create a new emitting particle system for the object by clicking the particle tab, and selecting the plus icon. Use the following settings for the particle system:
Velocity (Emitter Geometry)
Note that the strength field is highlighted green: this is because this value is animated, and appears yellow when it has a keyframe assigned to it. This value will be animated because if the full force strength is active at the first frame, the text particles will immediately start diffusing.
Since only the particles are to be rendered, the text and the plane object will have to be assigned a transparent material. This can be done by clicking the plane and adding a new material. In the new material, rename it to 'Transparent' and then clicking the color value box, set the alpha value to '0.0' and the value to '1.0':
Assign the 'Transparent' material to the text object as well.
The next step is to create a cube, and to assign a material to the cube that will affect it's volumetric shading.
Then, switch to the node editor in the bottom pane:
The next step will involve inserting nodes for the material, which like the 3D View is done with Shift+A. Add an emission shader, and a point density texture node. Insert and connect the other nodes like the following:
In the next step you will test to see if the volumetric particle shading looks preferable, and if not, change the settings of the nodes and you have achieved a desired 'look'.
Before rendering the scene, you should change a few settings to make the rendering process quicker, the following settings:
Also, halving the resolution of the render dimensions can also decrease rendering time. Hit 'F12' to render the current frame, and if you are satisfied with the result you can render all of the frames and export them to a video or image sequence, as explained in the next section. Here's a rendering I made from the blend file used to test this tutorial.
No post processing blurring filters were used, the smoothness is due to the particle cloud's depth of field:
In this tutorial, the rendered frames will be exported into a video, and to do that, you will have to choose a file path in the 'Output' group to save the video to. After setting an output filename, you will need to change the encoding options in the 'Encoding' panel.
The 'Encoding' panel provides various settings associated with the selected output format, such as the codec, color depth and compression percentage. For this tutorial I would recommend the following output and encoding settings:
|Audio Codec
When finished hit Ctrl+F12 to render the animation.

4 NHS considerations
4 NHS considerations
System impact
4.1 The sponsor claimed that the MAGEC system reduces the number of surgical procedures needed to treat children with scoliosis compared with conventional growth rods, because rod lengthenings and distractions are carried out non-invasively in an outpatient setting. This reduces resource use such as operating theatre and clinical time, as well as reducing the risk of complications needing hospital treatment, such as side effects from anaesthesia or infection.
Committee considerations
4.2 Having reviewed the clinical evidence and expert advice, the Committee was satisfied that using the MAGEC system could reduce the number of surgical procedures for each child by avoiding the need for operations to lengthen conventional growth rods. This would also reduce associated NHS resource use.
4.3 The Committee was advised that the population of children for whom the MAGEC system would be considered is small, but that the potential for releasing operating theatre and clinical time and shortening hospital stays by avoiding repeated surgical procedures could be substantial. The Committee also noted that resource use for treating complications associated with surgery, such as infection, could be reduced.
4.4 The Committee was advised that MAGEC growth rod lengthenings are often carried out in a single clinic, specially arranged so that a number of children can be treated. This allows more effective use of resources through reduced courier costs for the external remote control.
4.5 The Committee was advised that the MAGEC system may reduce the need for spinal cord monitoring and its associated costs. Spinal cord monitoring is used to assess neurological function during insertion of MAGEC or conventional growth rods, and in some children during conventional growth rod lengthening. However, it is not needed during lengthening of the MAGEC system rods because the child is awake and any changes in function can be observed.

I am not sure if this is the correct place for this post. If not kindly refer me.
A Samsung galaxy S2 device randomly launches apps (any kind). these apps immediately relaunch after forcing stop. when media player launches repeatedly the battery drains very fast and the cellular is practically unusable.
Is it possibly a touch screen issue?
I have searched online and found no similar problem. I have tried factory reset to no avail.
This problem just started with no special update, root or installation as a cause.
Android version 4.1.2 ROM version 3.0.31-816988
- what can be the cause?
- What other steps can I take?

Promoting your Direct Sales Business today is so much different from when it first started back in the day. Even as few as 5 years ago, selling via door to door and by home parties was considered normal practice for most direct sellers – and it still works! Today with the popularity of social media and the changes in marketing practices, combining your marketing efforts between online and offline promotions is the best way to run a successful direct sales business.
If you are looking for ways to promote your business online, here are 5 strong methods that you should be adding to your marketing efforts.
1. Business Blogging – If you have not started a blog yet…now is the time to do so! Managing and publishing a blog is one of the lowest cost ways to promote your direct sales business online. For blogging to work, you will need to be consistent with your blogging efforts and make your blog a valuable informative resource for your party hosts, customers and team members. See my Ultimate 5 blogging Tips to follow if you are just getting started.
2. Article Marketing – You don't have to be a professional writer to use article marketing as one of your marketing business tactics. When you write articles for article marketing programs it is important that you don't turn them into a spammy business advertisement. You want your articles to be informative written pieces that have something to do with your business niche. You then submit the articles to several of the top article directories online for members to use as web content, blog and/or newsletter content on their own sites.
3. Blogger Outreach – Companies large and small are implementing online blogger outreach programs and targeting mom blogs and/or niche related blogs to have their products reviewed. The benefits of this are many and include: important incoming one-way links to your site, business and product exposure, outreach on social media and so forth, building relationships with other business owners.
4. Guest Blogging or Webinar Guests – Bloggers are always looking for informative content to add to their established blogs. For guest blogging to work for you, find a few blogs that have readers within your target market audience. Contact those blog owners to see if they accept guest blogging content and if so, work out a deal with them for you to participate. Volunteer to be a webinar guest in another consultants team meeting in another company. The key is visibility and getting your name out there. We all know direct sellers change companies all the time. YOU want to be the go to XYZ girl. Getting people to remember you will do just that.
5. Social Media – Almost all companies online have some type of presence on social media. Social media sites include: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Periscope, YouTube, Pinterest, and several others. While we don't recommend that you get involved with all of them (who has the time to do that!), we do recommend that you start with Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest as our top 3 recommended choices. When you start on these platforms, forget traditional marketing and market valuable content that could help other business owners or solve a pain point for your customers. When you provide value and get your followers to know, like and trust you, you will start to build a loyal customer base that will return you repeatedly.
Adding these 5 methods to your direct sales marketing online will increase your business visibility online. Once people start to see you regularly and determine you are someone that is consistent and that they can rely on, you will begin to grow your business online. Marketing takes patience and determination. Results will not happen over night, but if you keep at it, you will see results.
