What to Look for When Choosing a Dentist
We must understand that in every situation, a dental care is necessary especially when we are unsure about the status of our teeth and we often eat something hard and sweet which needs quarter check up to make sure that tooth decay will be prevented.

Of course, you still have to follow the suggested routines that your chosen dentist have told you about such as brushing your teeth, using dental floss to remove the remaining foods in your mouth, regular dental check up to monitor your teeth.
One benefit of visiting your dentist regularly is you'll be able to spend lesser amount of money when visiting the clinic and found out that you have so many rotten teeth which need urgent care.

Another area that needs your full attention is when it comes to choosing the right dentist through good reviews of their previous clients online and this will make sure that any negative side comments about their services must be addressed right away or the dentist could answer the complaint personally once you've made a visit in the clinic so see more now.

Full Overview
Because the car isn't what it used to be.
In an environment of swirling uncertainty around what lies ahead, we will throw light on the new strategies and corporate partnerships turning the forces of disruption into engines of growth. This year's summit will examine the biggest trends in the car industry, devoting particular attention to developments in electric vehicles, connected cars, driverless cars, ownership v sharing, and emerging trends in mobility and the broader service ecosystem. The challenges, opportunities and complicating factors involved in the new partnerships that are emerging in the sector will be central to the conversation.
While the car continues to be an impressive feat of design and engineering, it isn't what it used to be. It's becoming an increasingly complex piece of software capable of generating vast amounts of in-vehicle and environmental data - data that can be monetised and used to strengthen customer relationships, enrich the driving experience, and dramatically improve safety on our roads.
New partnerships
As new technologies and consumer behaviour revolutionize the way people and goods get from A to B, traditional car-makers around the world are beginning to seek new partnerships and new relationships. They are courting - and being courted by - big tech, start-up tech, insurance companies, car-sharing businesses, cyber-security firms and city authorities. Success in the new data-driven mobility landscape will rely on these new alliances, new relationships with customers – and, crucially, on new strategic partnerships.
Another big question on everyone's lips is "when?". Views on the pace of change in the industry can differ wildly. Some say the future of the car will happen much faster than we think. Others say it will be a much slower, and more incremental process. This year's Future of the Car Summit will make a point of asking our star-studded line-up of speakers when they think their version of the future of the car is going to happen, and why.

3:50pmPANEL: Cyber-security
As data proliferates, so do the possibilities of a breach – intentional or otherwise. The car is now a cyber-physical device. This means that not only can it be broken into with a crow-bar, its databanks and control systems can be hijacked too. Individuals are therefore increasingly at risk of identity theft. Terrorists, meanwhile, will certainly be trying to find a way to weaponize individual vehicles or whole fleets. How is the industry working together to protect our personal security and protect us as citizens against malicious attacks? What more needs to be done?

The festivities at Computex 2017 are officially over, but there are more than a few pictures left on the camera roll for us to share. Deepcool had a number of intriguing cases on display at the event, so let's dig in and take a look.
Let's start with the aptly-named Ark 90, a case that seems large enough to hold just about any set of hardware one might care to load into it. It's an E-ATX case with tempered glass on the side, top and front. Its exterior is marked with a straight, illuminated channel that runs along the top and front panels. Deepcool pre-installs its Captain 280EX AIO cooler, and includes a PCIe riser for builders who want to show off their graphics cards. Deepcool hasn't determined the Ark 90's price yet, but is planning on an October 2017 release.
Next up is the visually-arresting Quadstellar case. This case employs a unique four-chamber design that puts the GPU, PSU, motherboard, and storage drives into separate compartments. It's a bit tough to describe how the pieces fit together, so take look at the case's back panel, pictured below.
The compartment for the motherboard (lower left and center) is the largest, and we do mean large: it's spacious enough for E-ATX motherboards. The GPU chamber on the upper left can house up to three dual-slot graphics cards with the use of riser cables. The storage chamber (upper right) fits up to nine 3.5" drives. The power supply sits in the chamber on the lower right. For extra control over the cooling, the case has a built-in temperature sensor than can open the front panels as needed for extra airflow. Deepcool plans to sell Quadstellar cases in October 2017 for around $300, and no, the retail models won't include those snazzy orange Ryzen stickers.
The BaronKase Liquid is a microATX-sized case that's actually large enough for hold ATX motherboards, in a vein similar to a Fractal Define C. The entire case is constructed of metal, including the wide handle on the top panel. To sweeten the deal, Deepcool includes its Captain 120EX AIO liquid cooling system wiht the case. The BaronKase Liquid will be available in black and white, and will have RGB LED lighting on the pump, radiator, and front panel. Deepcool plans to release the the enclosure in July for $130.
The Earlkase RGB case is the most affordable of the models pictured here. It has an all-metal, scratch-resistant front panel and a tempered glass side panel. A long shroud separates the PSU from the rest of the case. Deepcool includes two 120 mm fans and an LED strip with the Earlkase. Should builders want a more substantial cooling system, there's room to fit a 280-mm radiator on the top panel, or a 360-mm radiator on the front panel. This case is also due out in July and will be priced around $80.
The last case on the list is the Dukase Liquid. This chassis features all-metal top and front panels, and a large transparent side panel. Once again, a shroud separates the PSU from the rest of the case and gives users a spot to hide a few cables. The case's interior is illuminated with red LEDs, and Deepcool includes an AIO cooler with a 240-mm radiator. Deepcool plans to release this case before the end of June, and suggests its price to be $190.

This wasn't any old Pub lunch, this was a two Michelin starred pub lunch! Last month we made a very exciting excursion to the Hand and Flowers in Marlow! The booking was made back in January no less (we could only get a lunchtime siting at that!) and eagerly anticipated our visit. As part of a foody weekend down south, this was to be the highlight!
I'm sure that our readers will know all about the Hand and Flowers. In short, it's the only two Michelin Star pub in the UK, owned and run by household name and larger than life chef, Tom Kerridge.
Arriving promptly, we were quickly taken to our tables sat in one of the cosy corners of the pub – the restaurant is certainly that, rustic yet homely. Settling down with a G&T aperitif, we then had the envious task of choosing what to eat! This was easier said than done as everything read so deliciously! We all agreed one thing however, we'd definitely be getting some of their famous chips!!
Choices made, we were swiftly brought warm sourdough and our amuse of crispy fried whitebait in Marie Rose sauce. Crunchy and salty, perfect for getting our taste buds ready for the courses that came!
I opted for the crispy pig's head with rhubarb and pancetta, the meat had been meticulously shredded, rolled, seasoned and breadcrumbed and the rhubarb gave it that much needed acidity to cut through the pork. I was amazed by the thin cigar of perfect crackling too, how do they do it?!
Other starter choices were the smoked mackerel and parsley scotch egg topped with a beautiful spiral of charred onion, a glazed smoked haddock omelette and the signature dish of blowtorched scallops, bouillon jelly and truffle. I managed to steal a nibble from each of these too and I would have been more than happy with any one of them!
For mains Dan and I both had to choose the iconic Hand and Flowers duck and chips! A beautifully tender pink duck breast, served with duck gravy and minted peas. The chips were triple cooked in duck fat and were up there as some of the best chips I've had. Crunchy, chewy, salty and very very rich! The only thing that could have improved the dish was if the duck skin was crispy and rendered out more, but I'm just being ultra fussy!
The other main choices were the venison and charred baby gem lettuce and the fillet of beef. Again the meats were meltingly tender and cooked to the perfect point of rare!
I have to admit I was at the tipping point of being too full but in the interests of a fair write up I had to order a dessert! I immediately plumped (being the operative word!) for the chocolate, ale and salted caramel cake, which served with muscovado ice cream. It also came with a lovely little glass of Innis and Gunn too! The cake was more like a fondant, with a liquid centre, the saltiness and maltiness paired well with the sweet cold ice cream.
Dan chose the raspberry soufflé with white chocolate ice cream, look how beautiful it was! Light, yet full of raspberry flavours, a perfect summer dessert. Other choices were the creme brûlée and the beautiful tonka bean panna cotta with jelly and meringues!
Our whole Hand and Flowers experience definitely didn't disappoint, but then again I'm not sure what I was expecting from this 2 star establishment. One thing's for sure, and I may be shot down for this, is that in my mind the Hand and Flowers isn't a pub. It's a restaurant. It has a bar, but not one to just drop in and have a drink. that being said I don't think you'd want to just drop in given the food on offer!
It's not stuffy, the staff are attentive and friendly. It's definitely a destination restaurant, which you would expect from the 6 month reservation wait! It's not cheap, but I'd be more than happy to visit again. They do have a fantastic set lunch too, for those who aren't feeling quite as extravagant!
We visited a couple more restaurants in the area over the weekend, so keep your eyes peeled for more food stories from the south!

Workshops & courses in Improvisation...
The 'Intro to Impro' weekend
Who is this course aimed at?
You'll learn all the rules that 'make impro work' and engage in exercises to develop the skills core to successful improvisation.
You'll learn that failure does not exist - only more or less successful ways of doing things.
Our 'Intro to Impro' course is 100% practical - the only way to learn it is to do it. So, you'll be on your feet 'doing' nearly all the time - in pairs and in small groups.
No previous experience of impro, acting or any kind of performance is required for this course. It is based on the work of Viola Spolin and Keith Johnstone and our own understanding from years in the field of improvisation.
A key misconception that many people have about impro is that you have to 'be funny' to do it. You don't...but you will have lots of fun.Who are our teachers?
There will be TWO tutors - both regular performers and both experienced teachers who are used to teaching everyone from students at drama school, to trainee GPs and computer programmers. They are experts in providing a safe and relaxed atmosphere in which to learn, experiment and have fun.
Group Size
Are you the sort of person to try Impro?

President Donald Trump attended the Ford's Theatre Gala on Sunday for Ford's Theater, the scene of Abraham Lincoln's assassination, where he reiterated his pledge to protect the American people from terror, 100% Fed Up reports.
Joined by his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, the president's appearance at the annual fundraiser marks his debut on Washington DC's social circuit.
"As president I will do what is necessary is to prevent this threat from spreading to our shores, and work every single day to protect the safety and security of our country, our communities and our people."
Trump reiterated that his administration will do whatever is necessary is to prevent a similar terror attack that occurred in London on Saturday from spreading to the United States.
"We renew our resolve, stronger than ever before, to protect the United States and its allies from a vile enemy that has waged war on innocent life," Trump said.
"And it has gone on too long. This bloodshed must end. This bloodshed will end," he continued.

Some services at Veterans Affairs medical centers in southeastern states remain curtailed or cancelled as Hurricane Dorian lingers in the Atlantic Ocean just off the United States coastline.
The powerful storm, now a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph as of 10 a.m. Tuesday, has been blamed for at least five deaths in the Bahamas over the weekend, and could make landfall in Florida later today. Federal and state emergency management officials have warned residents in the storm's path to evacuate and make other preparations for high winds, heavy rains and dangerous conditions.
Several Florida military bases have been partially evacuated or closed to non-essential personnel. In addition, since last week, VA officials have been announcing a series of service updates in advance of the storm.
Fort Stewart, Parris Island, Beaufort evacuating ahead of Hurricane Dorian, now a deadly 145 mph, Category 4 monster
Officials at military installations along the U.S. coast from Florida to the Carolinas are keeping an eye on Dorian. Here's what they're telling personnel via social media.
All outpatient appointments have been cancelled for Tuesday and Wednesday for more than 20 clinics in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Officials at the Ralph H. Johnson medical center in South Carolina have cancelled all appointments at the medical center and related clinics for the rest of this week.
Over the weekend, operations at the VA Caribbean Healthcare System resumed normal operating hours as the hurricane traveled north. VA officials have said they anticipate resuming normal operations as the weather system passes by, provided no significant damage occurs.
VA officials at multiple sites said they are "taking all necessary actions to ensure the safety of our patients and staff."
Veterans from in storm-impacted areas who require immediate assistance can contact the department's disaster response hotline at 1-800-507-4571. The line is open 24 hours a day, every day.
In addition, the department has activated its Pharmacy Disaster Relief Plan for the affected areas. That program allows veterans who run short on medication to get refills at any retail pharmacy if they cannot access VA services. Families using the program should call 1-800-324-8387 ext. 106526 for more details.
Dorian is the 35th hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean the last 90 years to reach a category 5 designation, with wind speeds over 157 miles per hour. It is expected to be weaker when it makes landfall along the U.S. coast.
