Compared to traditional braces, orthodontic clear aligners seem miraculous in many ways, almost too good to be true. You may be wondering if they really work. The answer is yes — but they are not for everyone.
What are orthodontic aligners and how do they work?
Clear orthodontic aligners are an alternative to traditional braces that are used to move your teeth and transform your smile without much interference to your daily life. They are removable trays made of a clear plastic material that is essentially invisible.
When using aligners, a sequence of slightly different trays is custom-made to fit over your teeth. You must wear each one 20 hours a day for two weeks before changing to the next in the series. The aligners are computer generated, designed by state-of-the-art techniques based on models and images of your own teeth. They work because slight changes in the sequential aligners gradually shift your teeth. If they are worn consistently, the process takes from six months to two or three years.
Advantages over traditional braces are:
- The aligners can be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, flossing and social occasions.
- They have no rough edges or wires, making them more comfortable.
- Changes become visible quickly as your teeth move into their new, better positions.
Clear aligners are a good solution for correcting mild to moderately crowded or incorrectly spaced teeth. They are most effective if your back teeth already fit together properly. Clear aligners are usually effective in correcting simpler or tipping movements of teeth in two dimensions. For more complex movements, traditional braces may be required. Clear aligners are usually recommended for adults whose teeth and jaws are fully developed, and not for children.
When do you need traditional fixed braces?
Traditional braces are fixed brackets attached to the teeth through which narrow, flexible wires are threaded. They may be necessary if your teeth do not meet properly, creating too much overbite or underbite. Closing spaces where teeth are missing, rotating teeth, or other complicated situations probably make you a better candidate for traditional braces.
Each particular situation is unique. To find out if clear aligners are right for you, make an appointment with us for an assessment and diagnosis of your own situation. For more information see the Dear Doctor magazine article "Clear Orthodontic Aligners."
Plenty of parents use little tricks to persuade young ones to eat their vegetables, wash their hands, or get to bed on time. But when actress Jennie Garth wanted to help her kids develop healthy dental habits, she took it a step further, as she explained in a recent interview on Fox News.
"Oh my gosh, there's a froggy in your teeth!" the star of the '90s hit series Beverly Hills 90210 would tell her kids. "I've got to get him out!"
When her children — daughters Luca, Lola, and Fiona — spit out the toothpaste, Garth would surreptitiously slip a small toy frog into the sink and pretend it had come from one of their mouths. This amused the kids so much that they became engaged in the game, and let her brush their teeth for as long as necessary.
Garth's certainly got the right idea. Teaching children to develop good oral hygiene habits as early as possible helps set them up for a lifetime of superior dental health. Parents should establish a brushing routine with their kids starting around age 2, when the mouth is becoming filled with teeth. A soft, child's size toothbrush with a pea-sized dab of fluoride toothpaste and plenty of parental help is good for toddlers. By around age 6, when they've developed more manual dexterity, the kids can start taking over the job themselves.
Here's another tip: It's easy to find out how good a cleaning job your kids are doing on their own teeth. Over-the counter products are available that use a system of color coding to identify the presence of bacterial plaque. With these, you can periodically check whether children are brushing effectively. Another way of checking is less precise, but it works anywhere: Just teach them to run their tongue over their teeth. If the teeth fell nice and smooth, they're probably clean, too. If not... it's time to pull out the frog.
And don't forget about the importance of regular dental checkups — both for your kids and yourself. "Like anything, I think our kids mirror what we do," says Garth. We couldn't agree more.
If you need more information about helping kids develop good oral hygiene — or if it's time for a checkup — don't hesitate to contact us and schedule an appointment. You can learn more in the Dear Doctor magazine article "How to Help Your Child Develop the Best Habits for Oral Health."

Band Member Agreements
Starting a musical group is far more fun than keeping it together. At formation, all members have stars in their eyes and an undying devotion to their fellow group members. But success and failure over time, each in their own right, bring unhelpful drama and discord to a group of otherwise reasonable folks. Accordingly, it's best to proactively address each member's rights and responsibilities when the members are more likely to be civil and agreeable. Intelligently structuring and memorializing that relationship up front is often an important contributor to a group's long-term success. Therefore, the group's structure should be thoughtfully considered, reduced to writing, and executed by each member. We help musical groups maximize their chances of long-term, communal success by helping them structure and cement a sustainable relationship.

Burleigh Heads bounces back
Jul 31, 2013
Talented galloper Burleigh Heads returned to the winner's circle on Saturday night with a comfortable victory in the Hot 91.9 Class 1 Handicap at the Sunshine Coast.
In a field of only six runners, he was well rated by jockey Kelvin Wharton who was able to control the race in front and the Choisir gelding kicked away in the straight to score easily by just under three lengths.
A rising four year old, Burleigh Heads has always showed ability but has had to overcome a few setbacks including a leg injury that required surgery and sidelined him for almost six months.
The win was his second from nine starts with his only other victory as a two year old in a Saturday metropolitan race.
Trainer Bruce Hill was thrilled to see him back to his best as he has always had a high opinion of him.

So last year the OTR bug bit me again (as you can tell by looking here). Being that this is the age of iTunes, I wondered to myself if there were any old time radio podcasts and sure enough there are a number of them. The very best of which is the Jack Benny Show – OTR Podcast! hosted by "Buck Benny".
It's a great podcast where Buck often gives great behind the scenes information and speaks about the history of the show, characters, actors and crew before getting on with the actual broadcasts. This is why I really love it. If you're an OTR buff, this is a fun way to learn a bit more history and I find these stories fascinating. I wouldn't mind if Buck devoted an entire podcast to just TALKING about OTR.
Other than that, the main selling point for me is Jack Benny's show but don't let the name of the podcast fool you (as it did me originally)– there's a variety of shows posted by Buck. Gunsmoke, Phil Harris & Alice Faye, Fibber McGee & Molly, Suspense, Bob Hope, Command Performance, Bing Crosby, Burns & Allen and Fred Allen are shows that are always in rotation.
If you have even a passing interest in the golden age of radio, this is a must-listen podcast!
BTW – I hope everyone had a great Halloween. I had planned on dressing up but ended up with a terrible headache all day and just chilled watching some horror movies all night and the premiere of The Walking Dead on AMC. I loved the comic book, so I expected the show to decent… it was spectacular. Great production values, surprising amount of gore for cable. It looked and felt like a movie. Can't wait for next week's episode! I wonder how closely they're gonna follow the book.

Trekking Poles
MSR DynaLock Ascent Poles
$150, 1 lb. 1 oz. (small, 100-120cm, with trekking baskets)
Sizes: S (100-120cm), L (120-140cm)
When you need trekking poles, you want them to stand up to the hardest use in any season. When you don't need them, you want them to nestle unobtrusively under pack straps. From a 20-mile, mostly off-trail peaks traverse in Idaho's Sawtooths to a rim-to-rim dayhike across the Grand Canyon and some of the hardest miles on the Appalachian Trail, MSR's Dynalock Ascent Poles stood out for being tough, stable, and exceptionally packable.
I used the adjustable, three-section, folding DynaLock Ascent Poles dayhiking some of the hardest trail miles in the country—a one-day, 27-mile traverse of western Maine's Mahoosuc Range, mostly on the Appalachian Trail—and as well as on a 13-hour, mostly off-trail dayhike of around 20 miles scrambling peaks in Idaho's Sawtooth Mountains, and on other dayhikes in Zion and Bryce Canyon national parks. My wife also used these poles on a four-day, roughly 30-mile backpacking trip in the Sawtooths, and on a 22-mile, 11,000-vertical-foot, rim-to-rim dayhike across the Grand Canyon.
The Dynalock carve out a unique niche among trekking poles for three qualities: durability, packability, and having adjustability in folding poles.
The Kevlar-reinforced, all-carbon fiber construction demonstrated very high resistance to sheering or crushing when bashed multiple times against granite when I scrambled while holding them in one hand over boulders on the AT in the Mahoosucs and in the Sawtooths. The poles suffered no damage on any outings, beyond a lot of superficial scratches in the shafts.
The two sizes each have an adjustable range of 20cm, so virtually anyone can use these poles. Most useful to hard users, these poles are very compact when folded, measuring 36.2cm/14.3 inches long (in the 100-120cm size)—meaning they fit easily on the outside of a small pack, and are much shorter than standard, three-section poles whose shafts collapse inside one another.
The Dynalock poles have an inner cable for deploying and collapsing it, similar to a tent pole, and the three sections lock very rigidly into place with a simple pin mechanism (that's easy to depress to collapse the poles). A Dynalock lever on each pole never slipped, even on the 5,000-foot descent of the South Kaibab Trail to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. There's no discernible play or wobble in these poles, so they feel secure whether descending loose scree off-trail or powering up a long, steep ascent on trail.
The comfortable EVA foam grips feel good and don't slip easily in bare or gloved hands, and an extended grip on the upper shaft helps in managing steep slopes. The wrist strap adjusts easily.

At a hair over one pound (for the small length), they're not ultralight, but compare with the sturdier trekking and winter backcountry poles on the market. But having broken all-carbon and bent all-aluminum poles in the past, from what I've seen, the Dynalock Ascent strike a fine balance between durability and moderate weight.
The three pole models in MSR's Dynalock series are designed to cross over from summer hiking, backpacking, off-trail scrambling and mountaineering to winter split boarding, snowshoeing, and backcountry skiing, so they come with both trekking and snow baskets; and the snow baskets have a catch for raising MSR Televators.
The Verdict
While they are heavier than some models, if you're looking for sturdy, durable, adjustable poles that pack down small and come in at a moderate weight, the MSR Dynalock Ascent Poles do that job at a price that beats high-quality competitors.
MSR's other two Dynalock models are the DynaLock Explore ($100), constructed with light, high-strength 7075 aluminum, and the two-section, aluminum Dynalock Trail ($60), designed for lighter, on-trail use.

WWCC Track League 2019 Round 11
Event Report
Once again Senior A and B were competing together and racing started with a 3 Lap Dash with a win for Jake White, Mark McCann (BC Velo) was second and Zak White third. Jake White is currently leading the League (with 229 points) and he is also leading the Halesowen League. Then it was onto a 12 Lap Scratch with some great efforts from Zak White and Seb Bacon but then in the closing stages of the race, and with Jake White leading, Mark McCann swept down the banking to snatch a win by just 0.019 seconds, much to the delight of his young children, Poppy and Harry, watching from the crowd. Jake White took second place with Mahyar Abbott third.
The next event was a 1 Lap, Flying Start, Time Trial with three riders producing sub 32 second result: Mark McCann 31.738, Mahyar Abbott 31.873 and Zak White 31.979. After another very close finish in an Italian Pursuit where Mark McCann's team just took the win from Jake White's team it was time for two Keirin races. In the first Mark McCann took the wheel straight away and went on to win with the White brothers close behind, and this time Zak took second with Jake third. In the second experience played out first, with Simon Orme (Brereton Wheelers) taking the wheel, but it was Giulio Cervi over the line first with Seb Bacon second and Simon having to settle for third.
The 22 Lap Handicap race gave Lichfield City rider Jacob Gilkes his best result in the League so far. He started off with the other B rider Simon Orme and they managed to hold off the A riders to the Intermediate Sprint with Jacob taking the win and Simon second. Mark McCann was third. Then Jacob carried on with his lead and despite the best efforts of the rest of the field, all working hard to catch him, Jacob was over the line first and took the win with Giulio Cervi second, Jake White third.

One of SEGA's Best Mobile Releases to Date
When I got Ristar's SEGA Forever mobile port last year, gameplay was slow, the saving system sucked, and the ads were unbearable. Now with Crazy Taxi, I see SEGA Forever has improved greatly. The game doesn't lag a bit, not sure about saving but I'm guessing it's improved, and, thank Yuji Naka, you don't get an ad each time you touch the screen. Aside from SF's improvements, the game itself is great and fun to play. You get to choose the difficulty of your next job, the music is great (of course it is, it's SEGA), and it has a '90s charm to it. I may not have been alive when this came out, but still, it feels like I'm playing GTA San Andreas but better (and not nearly as gory). Overall, 5 Stars, and I didn't even rate it that to get featured, honest. Now I'm just waiting for the Sonic 3 & Knuckles mobile port by Taxman and Stealth. Yeah, that's right SEGA. People still want that.
Used to be a fun game
It took way too long to get into the app. I don't know if it is any good anymore or not. I had not played it in a while so I clicked on the game. The first thing it did was ask for my iTunes password. No. Then it made me answer about 10 questions about how I wanted to play. Then, once I got past all of that, it slapped me in the face with a full screen ad before it would even let me see a single frame of game play. DELETE! I will now never know if the game is as good as the last time that I played it. It was fun before they got so ad happy (but not fun enough to deal with the frustrations of starting the app). It also doesn't help that internet access is absolutely REQUIRED to play. Got this for my ipad that does not have cellular. If I am not at home I cannot play. It makes me wonder what kind of info that sega is secretly stashing away about me while I play. Thanks SEGA for ruining a good experience.
Wish it was the XBOX version.
This game is good. I just wish it was more like the XBOX version. I liked in that version how the driver could pick up more then one person at a time. And I also liked that there was more worlds to drive in. Still this is a good game.
Please update this app. I just tried to open the app and got a message saying. This app may slow down your iOS device. The developer needs to update the app. I don't get this message on apps that were updated recently only apps that have not been updated in a while.
Please remove adds. In 2015 when I found this game I had to pay to get the game. And for a while I'm getting adds with this game once and a while. And now the game won't start. Please update the game.

The Middle School Blues
He's growing up. My oldest son, who turns 12 tomorrow, is now a middle school student.
Just seven short years ago, he was starting Kindergarten. He was just a tiny little guy with no clue about what school was or why he needed to attend. His book bag was half his weight and his shoes were always untied. He was shy. He asked a lot of questions.
On that first day, his teacher had to practically pry him off of my leg.
It was tough, but an education isn't something a parent can forfeit for their child just because it hurts too bad to let them go.
I thought that was going to be as difficult as it would get.
Being a parent has many arduous moments. From the moment I first held him in my arms at the young age of 21, I knew that my life had changed forever. Instantly, my sole purpose in life was to protect him, to love him, and to provide for him. But I knew that providing for him, meant that I couldn't hold him in my arms forever.
Providing for our children, includes an education. It means that each September, I'll send him down a crowded hallway into a sea of mostly strangers and some friends, and I'll help him to move up the grade ladder.
He'll have just as many years to go now, as he has completed. He's halfway through the gauntlet. And this year, more than ever, I find myself wanting time to stand still. I want the next seven years to go by much slower than the past seven years did.
Since there were many scheduling errors at his middle school orientation he, and many other students, weren't able to meet their teachers and see where their classes would be. So on the first day of sixth grade, the school invited parents to come with students until 15 minutes into their first period class.
As I sat in the filled auditorium with my son, I wondered if I should have let go earlier. Maybe I should have dropped him off. I'm confident that he would have figured it all out on his own. But I was there, and I wanted to be.
The school he goes to is for students from all over the city, so he was being introduced to completely new peers in a completely different environment. One of his friends from elementary school walked by and sat a few rows ahead of us.
"Do you want to go sit with him?" I asked my son.
"Yea," he said. "Do you mind?"
"Of course I don't mind," I replied [and I actually meant it].
He grabbed his book bag [which was still half his weight] and moved to sit with his friend. I leaned forward just a bit to be nosy and noticed them sharing schedules.
It was in that exact moment that I started to tear up. My lip quivered a bit, because I was trying to "be cool" and hold back the tears. I took a deep breath and realized that I was being emotional, not because I was worried for my son, but because it was still so hard for me to let him go.
The Vice-principal asked the homeroom teachers to come to the front of the auditorium and call out the names of their students to be dismissed with them. Just as I pulled myself together, my son turned around to me and mouthed, "Don't leave yet."
Great, I had just gathered my composure and there he went, melting my heart all over again. I felt so loved in that moment, and all of my doubts about being there went away.
I fell in line behind his class with a few other parents and we walked down the hall. From quick conversations I had with the other parents, I knew that this was very difficult for them, too.
I sat in his class for a few minutes and then the students were excused to the hallway to try out their lockers for the first time. I explained the combination rotation to my son and he got it on his first try. When he opened it up, there was a NASA sticker inside and I took that as an encouraging sign from above.
He walked over to his friend that he was sitting with earlier, and helped him with his locker since he was having trouble opening it.
I watched with pride and smiled behind his back. The bell rang for parents to be dismissed and he quickly turned to me and said, "Bye Mom, I'll see you later," and he disappeared back into his classroom.
I walked back down the hall and out of the school with the rest of the parents. When I got to my car, I shed a tear again. This time, it was because I knew that he was going to thrive in his new environment.
I thought I was going with him, for him. But that was not the case. I was there with him, because I needed to be. I was still learning to let go. I imagine that might always be the case.
Even though he is almost as tall I am -- to me, he is still the sweet infant that I could scoop up, hold with one arm and stare at incessantly; and he is still that tiny little guy that was clinging to me on his first day of kindergarten. I can still look at him and imagine those points in time so clearly.
The difference is that, now, he knows why he goes to school; he knows how to tie his shoes; he knows so many answers to the questions he used to ask; and now he understands that I'm the one who has a hard time letting go.
By the grace of God [and some scheduling mistakes], I was able to be there -- to walk those halls with him on his first day of middle school.

Welp, I *thought* my crying was done for the week... This was so beautifully written. Whether you're the parent with the Kindergartener holding on to your leg, the parent who just dropped your child off for his first day of middle school, high school, or left them alone at college, every parent's heart breaks at the thought of letting go. It felt like someone was squeezing my heart when you mentioned him sharing schedules because I can almost still see mine in my head- it's so crazy that Adam is there already! You're such an amazing person and I know you are a wonderful mom- I hope that makes it a little easier to know that your example has no doubt made Adam just as awesome.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much, Vikki! I can remember sharing schedules, too, and it really does not seem that long ago. It's true when they say that the days are long, but the years FLY by! I'm so glad that Cash had a great first day, and I know that was difficult for you, too. I'm glad others can relate though, because I don't feel like so much of a sap, haha. And right back at ya about your last comment! Loved ya then - love ya now! :)Delete

This is what normally you can see in most of Myanmar places. The monks every morning to go around to receive food donations from residents , while the women are prohibited from receiving food , but received rice , groceries – sometimes money – then they cooked together in their convent.
For Buddhists belief. If we donate food to the monk or nun is a symbol of goodness which later results will be quoted one day, in the form of a better reincarnation.
Of course , as a Buddhism country, it's easy to see Pagoda. Its everywhere. That building of Pagoda generally designed with three or five terraces to the top of the bell-shaped stupas. On the top of stupa there is like umbrella called hti . Some steps to the pagoda has the highest terrace. Pagoda also has a space where to keep things of sacred Buddha.
One of the largest Pagoda in Yangon is the Shwedagon , which is a city landmark . There was a story of 2500 years ago when the Buddha was visited by two brothers , Tapussa and Bhalilika who came from Myanmar . They brought honey cake to give to the Buddha who reciprocated by giving 8 pieces of hair from the head of the Buddha, then the hair was given to King Okkalapa who later built the pagoda as a mark of respect .
Initially high pagoda was only 66 feet , until it began to constantly renovated 14th century until now reaching a height of 326 feet or 100 feet. Hti Pagoda tops decorated with 3154 gold bells, 79569 diamonds and other precious stones jewelry.
The other famous pagoda, is Bagan, an ancient city. They call a pagoda land, located in the district of Mandalay, central Myanmar. It takes 1,5 hour flight from Yangoon. It is amazing to see thousands of pagodas pagoda relic scattered everywhere.
When you sit at the top of the stupa pagoda Shwesandaw , one of the largest in Bagan. Just try to looking at the sunrise or sunset. Sometimes you can see farmer herding cattle cow to return to the cage. This really peaceful atmosphere.
The best months to come here is November to February . When the rainy season is over , and generally sunny weather so they can see the sunset or sunrise from the top of the pagoda .
In a village near Bagan I found a procession that is often undertaken by children aged 7 to 15 years old to enter the monastic life . This ceremoni called Shihbyu , where the monks candidates – called yin maung lyaung – dressed in traditional clothes then accompanied by the parents and families , they walk together toward local monastery.
The children will be asked for permission to the abbot to let them stay in the monastery for a week or more. Once they are allowed to cut her hair and changed into clothes monastery. This procession is the pride of the family and parents , even when their children later decide to live in the monastery.
This why so much you can see in Myanmar. We are welcoming you

How Complaining is like Body Odor
Let's talk about B.O.
Body Odor.
We've all encountered that person who emanates an unpleasant smell.
We think they really should be bathing more or washing their clothes or changing their diet.
We wonder why they don't notice their own smell.
We are uncomfortable saying anything about it and notice that others around them also don't say anything.
We wonder if anyone else notices since no one is saying anything.
Then someone in the group references it when the offender isn't around and everyone jumps in and comments on it. It becomes clear that multiple people have a problem with it but still no one is willing to say anything because it seems rude.
We note that their smell didn't used to be so bad but something changed and it's gotten worse but they don't seem to notice.
We start to pull away, not wanting to spend too much time with them or get too close. When we talk with the group we learn we're not the only ones doing this.
Still we don't tell that person why.
When someone is a chronic complainer we do the same things.
I wonder: Why is it a more acceptable social norm to slowly disappear from someone's life than to tell them directly that something they're doing is pushing people away?
Many chronic complainers don't know that they're doing it or recognize the extent to which they complain. They don't know why people pull away from them. Over time they can feel isolated or excluded – and this is another source of complaint.
If you care about them, find a way to engage them in a conversation where you can share the impact their complaining has on you. This is not about telling them how they're wrong. Act in the spirit of repairing the relationship and hopefully they'll be open to the conversation.
It's better than just leaving with no explanation.

How a Pregnancy Center in Indianapolis Helps Women Cope with Unplanned Pregnancies
For some women, the positive result of a pregnancy test can cause anxiety, shock or confusion, as they are unsure about how to cope with this situation. This is especially true in cases of unplanned pregnancies.
According to the Indiana University website, 37 percent of pregnancies in the United States from 2006 to 2010 were unplanned. Women who experience an unintended pregnancy can greatly benefit from a strong support system. They can turn to a pregnancy center in Indianapolis, like St. Elizabeth /Coleman, for help.
Pregnancy and Adoption Agencies not only provide the emotional support that women need but also help in ensuring optimum health during their pregnancy. Through health and nutrition counseling services, expectant mothers learn about their new unique needs. As they become familiar with proper prenatal care, the risk of birth complications lessens while the potential of giving birth to a healthy baby increases.
The counselors at St. Elizabeth / Coleman also help expectant mothers decide what to do after giving birth—whether to parent the child or place their child for adoption. Established pregnancy and adoption agencies, like St. Elizabeth/Coleman, inform and educate expectant mothers on all of their pregnancy options. Counselors don't dictate the women on what to do, but rather let them decide on their own and provide the support they need, whichever option they choose.
If a woman does decide that adoption is best for her child, the agency sees to it that the Indianapolis adoption process, as provided for by the applicable state laws, goes smoothly. Thus, a counselor will educate a potential birthmother about adoption laws, policies and steps of an adoption plan. A counselor will help her prepare in making her own ideal adoption plan.
To a woman finding out that she is with child should be a moment of pure joy and delight. However, this isn't always the case, particularly when it involves unplanned pregnancies. Expectant mothers can be relieved to know they can turn to a pregnancy agency for help and answers.

Typical gas fired heaters and boilers send up to 30% of the fuel they consume out the exhaust stack in the form of waste heat. This loss can mean that for every dollar spent on fuel the boiler system returns only 65 to 70 cents worth of useful heat.Learn More

You may never understand how annoying it can to constantly leave office at 10 PM each day irrespective of whether you have any significant duties to attend to or not until you have a boss who makes sure he or she creates every possible avenue to keep you busy on errands that already have been concluded and need no further unwarranted readjustment.
Some bosses get this active and on-top-of-their-game feeling by putting excessive unwarranted pressure on their employees. Many times they set goals and expectation that are only attainable and would not entertain and any excuse as to why you failed to meet your goals.
When working with such bosses, here are a few tips that may assist you so you don't get fired or come down with high blood pressure.
1. Always put your A game on. Remember that zeal with which you attended the interview and how you vowed that you can perform exceedingly well with little or no supervision combined with much pressure, well this is time to put it to work. Make a constant job of delivering on your responsibilities for good. Leave him or her no room to lash out on you verbally or in any way because you are always slipping here and there. So do your job and do it good.
2. Study and Understand your boss. While you must mind your business, you must study to understand your boss. You must understand his vital signs, know when not to come near, know when to talk, know when to keep your distance. This is important because if you don't understand his signs, you may unwittingly end up as his stress dump, which by the way is harmful to your health.
3. Don't expect a thank you always. Many people get discouraged when they put in their best in a piece of work and they don't get even a scanty thank you. Rude as this may sound, when you do your job, your reward for it is the pay you'd receive, and not some appreciation which if by the way you want, you'd get more than enough from home. If your boss is a demanding one, it is likely he'll not even notice that you actually put in your best, in fact he'll point out errors you made, even when there are practically none; so always do your best, but never expect appreciation from an overly demanding boss 'cause you may not get one.
4. Get yourself some thick skin. While you must not make the mistake of taking your boss for granted, you must not fall into the temptation of getting frustrated on the job. You cannot afford to get frustrated in an environment where you spend eight to nine hours each day especially when you see yourself being a boss in that firm someday, so get yourself some thick skin, don't let nothing, I repeat nothing negative said or done by your boss get you frustrated, lest you soon join the league of they that check the blood pressure each morning; it's not worth it.
5. See the good side of the pressure. Naturally, humans don't improve much fast when left in comfortable a position as much as they do when pressure is applied. Learn to do a great job in little or no time, learn to multitask, learn to handle the heavy workload, it may be to your advantage tomorrow. I once read in a story how that a less experienced female doctor had a terrible time in the hand of a far more experienced doctor; there was no kind of pressure he didn't let her pass through. Unknown to the younger doctor, the man had a plan, he needed someone to replace him, someone who has both a kind heart and a stamina that can withstand intense pressure coupled with invaluable expertise, and she's the one he chose, the pressure was his way of preparing her for his impossible pressure-ridden workload. So let the pressure refine you, tomorrow, you'd be grateful it did.

Enter these three DIY scarf tutorials. These tutorials could not be any easier, each one took hardly any time, two of the three cost under $5, and the other was under $10. What more could you want from a DIY scarf project? Now, let's get to it . . .
Polka Dot Stamped Scarf
What you need:
– Scarf // $3 Walmart
– Acrylic Paint // $1.50 Michaels
Total: $4.50
1. Pour paint on a plate or in a bowl.
2. Use the paint bottle lid as a stamp and stamp all over the scarf.
3. Let paint dry.
I love how this scarf turned out. But I made the mistake of stamping my scarf on newspaper, which ended up sticking to the paint as it dried.
I had to spend way too much time peeling newspaper off those dang polka dots. I would recommend using an old towel that you don't mind getting paint on for easy separation.
Frayed Blanket Scarf
What you need:
– Plaid flannel // $9 (for 1 1/2 yards, with coupon) Joann
Total: $9.00
1. Buy fabric.
2. Fray the edges.
This scarf was inspired by the Zara blanket scarf that is all over Pinterest right now. How genius to make an enormous scarf that can double as a blanket or scarf!
And even though $30 isn't the most ridiculous price I have ever heard of (don't get me wrong – I would never spend that on scarf), I knew I could make one for substantially less.
Candy Dot Scarf
What you need:
– Scarf // $3 Walmart
– Pom poms // $1.99 Hobby Lobby
Total: $4.99
1. Lay out scarf and arrange pom poms.
2. Using a glue gun, or some other adhesive, glue each pom pom in place.
This Candy Dot sweater, which I will probably also be DIYing for myself, gave me the idea for this scarf. I love how fun and colorful it is, and you could make one to match any cardi or coat or pullover in your closet.
And there you have it! Three extremely affordable, super easy, and extra cute scarf DIYs. And be sure to come and visit my sister and me as we blog about style, food, and the things we love over at The Pretty Life Girls.

Wooden Front Doors With Side Glass Panels - Glass doors are very suitable and add a brand new dimension of style to any section of your property. The beauty is the fact that they allow you to bring the brilliant views of your yard with no distraction of window frames or alternative elements into your property. They've come a long way from the "patio doors" of days gone by. The doors of today are better insulated and have or trendy frameworks than ever. The issue with them is the fact that they are so difficult to fasten, although these sliding doors are a great add-on to numerous rooms of your home.
So what makes these doors different from conventional sliding glass doors? These doors are designed in a sense that prevents them from being lifted in the surface from their paths. This can be only one of the biggest risk points for conventional doors, which can readily be lifted out of the trail, even when fastened with conventional locking plates or bars.
These security doors have frameworks which are assembled in this way they cannot be pried apart to eliminate the glass panel out of the frame. These doors that are newer do not rely on weather stripping and simple screw together frameworks to hold the glass panel they use welded frames with glass panels and riveted glass detainment strips that extend into the frame casing.
The biggest advantage that security sliding glass doors have over their conventional counterparts is the important change in the glass panels.

Flash fiction - about an unsettling visit to a mental institution.
I spoke to Nannie Mae only once after she was sent to the institution. It was in January, I remember, the weather was bitter cold. I didn't want to go, but she was my aunt, my mother's oldest sister, and I felt I should. Three years were enough to bring me to a place where I thought I should confront this broken piece of my family's past, however painful that confrontation might be.
I don't know what I expected -- people in straitjackets, drawing with crayons clenched in their teeth, making wild purple swoops on pieces of butcher paper. Inmates laughing wildly, their eyes wide and white. The sounds of screams bouncing off metal walls.
There were no straitjackets, no shrieking and moaning. It was a quiet place; the dust hung motionless in the beams of light coming in through the windows, so that the light itself seemed not to be moving, to be something solid that you could pick up and move when you were done with it. Oh, you knew that the quiet was an illusion; the security was there, and an outburst would have brought them running. You could see it in the guarded expressions, in their careful, controlled movements. It was the tense silence of the coiled mainspring of an overwound clock. Hold your breath, let the silence continue. Don't disturb the people. Don't disturb the dust.
Nannie Mae looked up when I came to her, where she sat wearing a house dress with little blue flowers. Her eyes fluttered over me, vague passes over my face like the brush of a light breeze, there and then gone, never resting in one spot for long. She smiled a little.
"Hi, Aunt Nan," I said.
Her hands made a restless, fluttering movement, like her eyes. "It's sweet of you to visit."
"I wanted to see how you were doing."
"I'm well, well enough. They treat me nicely here. For the most part."
"Is there anything you need?" I asked, not knowing what to say, wanting to fill the silence. I didn't know if I could bring her things, anyway, or if that was against the rules. I suspected that this place had lots of rules.
"Tea," she said. "I'd like a cup of tea. Two sugars, no lemon, like I like it."
"Oh, okay. I was more thinking of things like books, or music, or something. But I'll see if I can find someone who can get you a cup of tea."
She smiled, and some of the tenseness went out of her; I could see what she had been during my childhood, the eccentric maiden aunt who played the piano, who was just a little bit different -- not insane. Not yet. Not yet the person who would eventually, by order of the court, be committed to this place for the rest of her life.
"John, dear," she said. "How is Adelaide? I do miss her. Would she come see me some time, do you think?"
I looked at her, searching for some sign that she was kidding, that she knew that what she was saying wasn't possible, but her vague, watery blue eyes just kept up their ceaseless, restless movement, never giving me a window by which to see into her thoughts.
"Aunt Nan, mom's dead. She died three years ago. Don't you remember?"
There was no shock of sudden recollection; the truth and her version of it melted into each other seamlessly. "Oh, of course, that's right. And your father? How is he?"
"He's managing. Bonnie and I visit him a lot."
"A good man, your father. I'm glad. But, John, there's just..." A frown wrinkled her forehead, and I thought that perhaps there might be more, that she could find something in her memories of the real world that she could catch a hook into, and let it pull her along, pull her out of this dusty half light into the full light of day. The harsh, unyielding light that shows us everything, whether we want to see it or not.
Her frown deepened, and her mouth opened a little, her eyes focusing on some distant point for a moment, then came back to my face.
"I never got my tea, you know," she said, raising one hand and then letting it fall back into her lap.
I made an excuse to leave, saying I had an appointment, I couldn't stay long. She said okay, that was all right. Nothing seemed to register much with her, or at least not for very long. So I made my lame excuses and left, eager to get back to the free air and the free light. But as I left, I asked the attendant to bring her a cup of tea.
Two sugars, no lemon.

It seems as though you are tested at every turn. I see you hanging onto hope wondering when is this pain going to end. Oh My child, I know you do not understand what you are going through right now, but it is only a test. Please do not give up. This test will strengthen you, and build character. I am preparing you for greater things coming your way, things that you are not ready to handle right now. You were not chosen by chance, but rather with a purpose. I know the plans I have for you, and My plans for your future are good.
Stop leaning on discouragement and self-pity, they are not of Me. You do not have time for that. Cast all your fears upon Me, I will not disappoint you. Do not give up. If you lose hope, you will lose your vision, and the enemy will win. The enemy knows if he can cast a spirit of fear upon you, he can hinder the plans I have for you. If you allow this to happen, others who are waiting to be blessed through you will be lost. My child, you can make it; it is only a test.
During this test, do not expect others to keep you encouraged. They are busy fighting battles of their own. It is time you rise up and encourage yourself. That is what David had to do when the enemy attacked him. Your battle will be won when you enter your prayer closet and pray. In our secret place, I will be waiting for you with divine instructions. It is there you will hear from Me; and will be strengthened. It is there I will teach you how to press your way to victory. I want you to be strong, confident, and unbreakable, always trusting in Me. Again, I say unto you, never give up. It's only a test. Now, rise up in faith!
Scriptures to Meditate on:
1Sa 30:6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.
Isa. 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
1Pe. 1:7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise, honour, and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:

For the first time ever, Studio Voltaire will present an ambitious year–long programme of offsite projects whilst we undertake The Studio Voltaire Capital Project. This programme celebrates some of the most pivotal commissions in our 25–year history.
The site–specific programming will take place in extraordinary venues across London and comes at a time when our permanent home in Clapham is closed to the public whilst undergoing a transformative £2.4 million redevelopment.
We have commissioned Nnena Kalu, Dawn Mellor, Phyllida Barlow and Monster Chetwynd to create new work for this significant series. Each of these artists has a special relationship with Studio Voltaire, and this programme celebrates some of the most pivotal commissions within our institution's history, reflecting our track record of supporting artists at key stages in their careers.
Studio Voltaire elsewhere launched in February 2020. Projects are currently being rescheduled due to world events. Dates for future commissions will be announced in due course.
Nnena Kalu
30 Old Burlington Street Mayfair, London W1S 3AR
This special programme will launch with a new solo commission by Nnena Kalu on Mayfair's Cork Street. Kalu's work is characterised by colourful forms constructed from recycled and everyday materials – plastic tubing, newspaper, foam, cling film, fabric and tape. Small, tightly constructed cocoons are accumulated to form complex installations which respond to the surrounding architecture.
For this new commission, Kalu will work in situ in the gallery throughout the duration of the exhibition, creating a new series of large–scale sculptural installations. By binding, layering and wrapping materials, the artist's sculptures reflect the duration, rhythm and process of their making. Kalu's energetic installations become an extension of her physical movements, centering an important relationship between the artist's body and her sculptural forms.
Kalu's commission will be presented in partnership with ActionSpace, a leading organisation supporting the development of artists with learning disabilities, which has been based at Studio Voltaire since 1999. Kalu is an important member of Studio Voltaire's artistic community, and her work has previously been exhibited as part of group exhibitions in 2012 and 2015. Following an acclaimed solo presentation at Glasgow International in 2018, this will be Kalu's first major solo commission with a London institution.
Brent, NW10
Studio Voltaire will launch the first permanent public artwork by leading British artist Dawn Mellor, in partnership with Create London for Brent 2020.
For the past twenty years, Mellor has painted portraits of celebrities, drawing on imagery collected from photographic portraits, gossip magazines, film stills and the internet. Her works are both commemorative and personal, while celebrating a long tradition of camp as a tool of resistance within queer culture.
The artist explores identity, class, politics and pop culture and Mellor's protagonists have previously included Helen Mirren, Michael Jackson, Morrissey, Tony Blair, Karl Lagerfeld, Margaret Thatcher, Hillary Clinton and Judy Garland. The artist transforms her subjects via iconoclastic interventions which reflect the darkly obsessive facets of fan culture and fame; and the many roles, both public and private, assigned to celebrity.
Studio Voltaire has a long relationship with Mellor, with exhibitions including An Ecstasy of Purpose (2010); When I was a teenage bore (2009); and Vile Affections (2007). Co-commissioned by Studio Voltaire, Brent Borough of Culture 2020 and Create London.
The Anglican Chapel at Nunhead Cemetery, Nunhead, SE15
In a remarkable pairing of practice and site, Studio Voltaire presents a highly ambitious new public installation by internationally celebrated sculptor Phyllida Barlow, sited within the partially ruined and open–aired rotunda of The Anglican Chapel in Nunhead Cemetery, South East London.
Barlow, who is known for her monumental structures of stacked, bound and balanced forms, often makes use of industrial and everyday materials. Her tactile constructions have an imposing physical presence and yet, often appear at the edge of collapse. Tensions in her work between transformation, entropy and precarity resonate strongly within the chosen site – the cemetery's formal avenues and Victorian landscaping give way to serpentine paths which lead visitors through stones thick with ivy, Gothic revival monuments and overgrown plots.
Consecrated in 1840, Nunhead Cemetery is perhaps the least explored, but most attractive, of London's great Victorian Cemeteries. This major new commission promises extraordinary and unexpected encounters with Barlow's sculptures in a distinctive and one of a kind setting.
Studio Voltaire previously presented a major new commission of Barlow's work in 2010, BLUFF. This exhibition played an important role in raising the artist's international profile and represents a highly significant moment for both the artist and the organisation.
This commission is presented in partnership with the Friends of Nunhead Cemetery.
Across sites in Clapham, Lambeth, SW4
Studio Voltaire elsewhere returns to Clapham in this celebratory finale by Monster Chetwynd. Working in close collaboration with local residents, the artist will lead a special performance project that will take place across multiple sites in Clapham, exploring the area's rich history and well-established connections to dissent and non-conformism.
Chetwynd has become internationally renowned for her carnivalesque live performances, which share elements of the bawdy anarchy of sixteenth– century wandering troupes, foregrounding key moments from art history and cultural production.
This commission follows a long–standing collaborative relationship between Studio Voltaire and Chetwynd, having worked together on multiple projects since 2005, including The Walk to Dover (2005), Listen Up! and Hermitos Children 2 (both 2014).
