In today's society, a healthy white smile is important not only because of its obvious health benefits, it also increases one's self-esteem. It's been suggested that having unhealthy teeth can make your life troublesome since it deters other people from connecting with you. With that said, there are plenty of teeth whitening products available today that are both easy to access and affordable.
Before we dive in to the methods of teeth whitening, we should begin by understanding what the causes of teeth discoloration are and how to prevent it. Here are a few common agents for teeth discoloration and overall teeth degradation.
Common factors for teeth discoloration
Smoking is one of the most notorious agents for teeth discoloration. The Nicotine found in cigarettes causes discoloration in a very short time. Not only do cigarettes discolor your teeth, they also degrade your gum's health. The tar in tobacco causes plaque and tartar build up which in turn causes your teeth to appear blackish in color.
Coffee is also a common agent for teeth discoloration. It only takes one cup of coffee to stain the enamels of your teeth (protective coating of your teeth). Fortunately for coffee lovers out there, the stains can be removed through regular cleaning or annual visits to your dentist.
Anti-biotics namely tetracycline and doxycycline are also known to cause teeth discoloration in children whose teeth are still developing. Mouth washes that contain chlorhexidine and cetylpyridinium may also cause tooth discoloration.
Throughout your life, there's really no way of avoiding teeth discoloration; old age causes your teeth to become yellowish as well. However, there is hope! There are ways to whiten your teeth, keep reading for a handful of natural home based solutions.
Teeth Whitening You Can Do At Home
There are a few methods you can do at home to retain or bring back the shine in your teeth. The following are some of these;
- Regular brushing and flossing- Regular brushing and flossing is one of the most proven ways to keep your teeth as white as ever.
- Eat Strawberries- This is arguably one of the best methods you can do to whiten your teeth. These fruits have an enzyme called Malic Acid and Vitamin C. The Malic Acid removes surface stains on your teeth while Vitamin C removes the plaque. There are two ways to perform this method; first one is mashing the strawberries brushing it twice a week or you can just eat the strawberries.
- Baking Soda and Lemon- This is one of the most popular teeth whitening methods out there. The chemical reaction that the baking soda and lemon produce makes a smile-brightening effect. This means that either one of these would work well in whitening your teeth but together they are super effective. You just need to brush the solution once a week since it can wear your teeth's enamel.
- Coconut Oil Rinse- Rinsing your mouth with Coconut oil (more commonly known as "Oil Pulling") is an old remedy for whitening your teeth. It may not sound like the most pleasant thing in the world but it's a way of whitening your teeth that closely resembles "bleaching". The lauric acid found in the coconut oil removes the bacteria in the plaque that causes your tooth to appear yellowish. It's also suppose to keep your gums healthy and your breath fresh. Just scoop out a table spoon of coconut oil and brush your teeth with it in the morning. Think of it as a substitute for your toothpaste.
- Charcoal- This is a weird method of whitening one's teeth but keep in mind that a holistic dentist will recommend this method. It may look unappealing at first but it is effective in whitening your teeth because activated charcoal is a highly absorbent substance that removes tannins that stain the teeth. Further research suggests that it also helps in changing the pH levels and overall health of the mouth. In turn, an effective way in killing off bacteria that causes tooth decay and gingivitis.
Professional Teeth Whitening
If you don't have the luxury of doing the aforementioned methods, then there are places you can get your teeth professionally whitened. These places offer services such as bleaching without using harmful chemicals. The following is a rundown of some of these places;
- Dentist- Dentists offer their expertise in helping you get that bright white smile you've always wanted. All you need to do is schedule an appointment and you will be good to go.
1.) In-Office Whitening System- Your Dentist will apply a gel substance directly to your teeth and introduce a heat source (more or less a laser) to increase the bleaching action.
2.) Take-Home Whitening- This is a custom made whitening item that's made onsite. It is flexible plastic that you fill up with a provided gel substance then you wear it for a prescribed period of time.
- Over the Counter Teeth Whitening- There are instances where the dentists may offer over-the-counter products that could help you get your pearly whites shining again. Some of these substances include the following;
1.) Whitening Strips- These strips look like bandages that adhere to your teeth and should be left there for 30 minutes at a time. These strips should be applied 2 times a day for 1 or 2 weeks.
2.) Brush-on whitening- These are gel like products that are directly brushed on your teeth and left overnight for maximum effect.
3.) Whitening Gum- If you enjoy chewing gum, then you might want to try this product. It's a new form of teeth whitener that you need to chew. You might need to chew 8 pieces a day to see results.
4.) Whitening toothpaste- These types of tooth paste are available worldwide and made by various manufacturers. They are made with special ingredients and polishing agents to effectively remove surface stains and plaque. But, unlike bleaching, they won't change the actual color of your teeth.
Risks concerning Teeth Whitening
The only risk worth mentioning about these methods are tooth sensitivity concerns due to the procedure or ingredients these methods use. If sensitivity does occur after your procedure, it generally only lasts 1 to 4 days max. There are also toothpastes to combat those sensitivity issues like Sensodyne. Other than sensitivity concerns, the procedures mentioned above are relatively safe.
Whatever method or product you prefer, know that they are all guaranteed to help you get that bright white smile that you have always wanted.
Since they are available anywhere and they are relatively cheap, anyone can get their teeth whitened. With that in mind, you now have the confidence to smile with no worries whatsoever.

SBM Offshore Nets Browse FLNG Turret FEED
SBM Offshore has been awarded the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract from Technip for three, large-scale turret mooring systems associated with the proposed Browse Floating Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) Development in Australia.
The contract awarded to SBM Offshore covers the FEED elements of the proposed Browse FLNG Development's turret work. The three, large-scale turrets are expected to be designs similar to and slightly larger in size than the Shell Prelude FLNG turret that SBM Offshore was awarded in 2011 and whose last module was recently delivered from the construction yard in Dubai. Integration with the Prelude facility in Korea is currently ongoing, the company said.
The Browse project will incorporate the lessons learned by Shell, Technip Samsung Consortium and SBM Offshore in the design and construction of Shell's Prelude FLNG project in order to maximize efficiencies in replicating the Prelude FLNG solutions for the three Browse FLNG facilities.
The proposed Browse project, operated by Woodside Energy Ltd., is located 425 kilometers north of Broome in Western Australia. The project's reference case is based on three FLNG facilities to develop the Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa fields in the Browse Basin and is subject to final investment decision targeted for the end of the FEED in the second half of 2016.

The final 6! I read a lot of amazing books in 2016.
Mind of the Maker by Dorothy L. Sayers
In this intriguing book, Sayers tackles the "analogy" of God as Creator and takes a deeper look at what it means for humans, who create, to be made in the image of God. This was a good but very challenging read. I didn't always understand the definitions or logic and often had to re-read passages. However, like with Chesterton, I came away with a greater understanding and desire to know more. Sayers's approach to the Trinity is intriguing and it offers an interesting glimpse into the creative process. Overall, this book is definitely worth the effort.
The Snow Goose by Paul Gallico
At 48 pages, this is another charming children's book that really stuck out this year. The Snow Goose is the story of a hunchbacked painter and a young girl who bond over a wounded snow goose. This book is surprisingly adult (not in content as much as depth) yet beautiful enough to read to children. Gorgeous art and an emotionally real plot. Though somewhat predictable, it is also sweet and noble.
For the Love of My Brothers: Unforgettable Stories from God's Ambassador to the Suffering Church by Brother Andrew
For the Love of My Brothers picks up where God's Smuggler ends and represents the expanded vision of Open Doors Ministry during/after the fall of communism. Though "dated" in some regards (I was age 3 and 5 respectively when this book was written and then updated), the book doesn't feel obsolete. It was a great reminder of all God accomplished and continues to accomplish in the lives of believers across the world. Though I read a couple Brother Andrew books this year, I particularly appreciated this one because of my 2015 visit to Eastern Europe.
Letters to Children by C.S. Lewis
Lewis received thousands of letters from children and this volume contains some of his answers. I found it immensely satisfying. Lewis's letters are encouraging, instructive, and occasionally just about mundane things like the weather. There is a delightful amount about Narnia in this book. I love how often Lewis encourages children to write their own Narnia stories. He also answers lots of questions about the Narnia books (yay! More Narnia! Fangirls rejoice!) Even outside of Narnia, though, I was really surprised and impressed by how intelligently Lewis wrote to children. He peppers his letters with references to other books and texts. Truly worth reading and owning.
The Revenge of Conscience: Politics and the Fall of Man by J. Budziszewski
An interesting and challenging analysis of politics and Christianity. Budziszewski has two particularly intriguing chapters critiquing liberal and conservative viewpoints. However, the entire book is worth chewing over. I love his strong, pro-life arguments. Readable and worth the time, even if there are moments it feels "dated" and occasionally dense. One of those books I really enjoyed but I don't expect most people to.
Beauvallet by Georgette Heyer
It is very possible that I have lost all perspective and objectivity when it comes to Heyer. Even books I previously gave 3 stars I have been tempted to up to 5. I really, really love her writing and characters. While Beauvallet probably isn't in my top 5 Heyer Reads, it is still pretty high up there. This is a grand, romantic, swashbuckling adventure set in the Elizabethan era. "Mad Nicholas" Beauvallet is a privateer and favorite of Queen Elizabeth who falls for a Spanish lady and determines to woo her, even if it means traveling through Spain where there is a price on his head. I was charmed to find the stereotypical Heyer characters out of their usual Regency setting and I liked the cameos from Sir Francis Drake, Queen Elizabeth, and Mary Stewart. Not perfect but certainly charming enough to win my heart.

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree. – Joyce Kilmer
Few landscape additions return so much to you, your yard, your streetscape, your environment and your wallet. Trees are decorative accents, many with fragrant blooms. Billowing canopies provide summer shade that can lower cooling costs, and the sun-dappled ground under the leafy umbrellas adds texture and depth to any landscape. Leaves give off oxygen, roots anchor earth to insulate against erosion, and the sheer beauty of a tree is, as Kilmer wrote, one of nature's most endearing poems.
Planting Tips
Local nurseries can help you choose the best tree for the growing conditions specific to your landscape (soil, amount of direct sunlight, the ground's natural moisture content, tree height at maturity, ease of care, vulnerability to pests, etc.).
When to Plant
Timing depends on the type of environment the tree will enhance. In "wild" settings or areas being reforested, the dormant months during winter are best. Trees for residential and commercial landscapes fare well when planted any time of the year.
How to Plant
Treat the tree with respect – carry it by the bottom or by the container, never by the trunk. And protect the roots from heat and direct sunlight before it's planted.
Prepare to plant your tree with the appropriate size trench. Dig a bowl-shaped hole that is only as deep as the root ball and three times as wide. Save the dirt for backfill and do not add mulch, peat, compost or other soft materials, which retard root growth and can produce gases that harm the roots. Do not add fertilizer. Instead, just loosen the dirt in the hole.
Remove the burlap wrap or container and place the tree in the hole, but make sure the surface of the root ball is level with the ground. Tightly pack dirt around the tree and water well.
Tending the Nursery
Adequate water is critical for the first year until the roots are well developed. As with the entire landscape, apply enough water to reach deep into the ground. Avoid more frequent, shallow irrigations that don't reach the roots and instead encourage them to stay closer to the surface.
Mulching around the tree will help retain moisture and allow nutrients to seep slowly into the ground. Keep mulch from touching the trunk, though, which can promote mold growth. When your tree is about a year old, it's mature enough to safely be fertilized. Read and respect the instructions.
My Botanica is your source of environmentally sensitive products to treat your tree as the family member it is. Our team is always available to help with information about how to create and care for a picture-perfect landscape. Please call toll free 1-888-722-4308.

Need a little Yuletide cheer? Consider these activities.
1. Do You Hear What I Hear?
If you see a kid walking along bouncing a ball, order him to stop. Then say, all stern-voiced, "I need you to understand something. Are you listening to me?" The kid will nod. Hold your index finger to your temple and say, "No, I need you to really listen. Are you listening to me?" The kid will nod. Then merrily cry "You should hold on to the ball!" and slap it out of his hands.
2. Good Tidings to You
Let's say you see a bunch of kids playing basketball, and a kid misses a shot. Interrupt the game by wading in and demanding a quiet word with said kid. Pull him aside. Lower your voice and say, "You do know…" Then pause, as if unsure how to proceed, so delicate is the matter in question. "You are aware that the ball is supposed to go into the hoop, right?" (It'll take the kid a second to get the joke but by gum it's worth it.)
3. Let It Go
This is a good one. Next time you see a pickup game, halt the proceedings and ask for the ball. Walk to some improbably distant point from the basket and say, "Think I can hit it from here?" Dismiss their objections and begin a laborious process of preparation. Roll up your sleeves. Count paces to the rim and back. Scribble calculations in a notebook (this teacher keeps one in his shirt pocket; perhaps you should too). The kids should be getting impatient by now. Ask for complete silence, face the hoop, and take your final stance. Then fling the ball in some other direction.

One of the newer, yet most popular marathon events in Europe is also one of the most spectacular. The Dolomites are like the mountains from your mind. Jagged, steep peaks that rise from a postcard alpine setting, bursting through the otherwise tranquil surrounds of forested hills and grassy ski slopes.
The race has a lot of climbing, and a lot of singletrack for a European marathon race. It's also one of the best supported races on the calendar, with comprehensive feed zones and a great pasta party.
The race is growing, and it's now a major festival with XCO racing and events for the whole family.

You also have the option of keeping your inbox clean and watching the livestream on Samsung's YouTube channel, where you can stream it on your hilariously outdated smartphone from 2017 or using a Chromecast hooked up to a TV.
What You're (Probably) Getting in the Galaxy S9
If you're dying to know everything you can about the S9 before it launches, you can take a peek at Gizmodo's list of the most credible leaks and rumours about the smartphone. In terms of looks, the S9 will be pretty identical to the S8 and S8+, with some minor rearranging of the rear camera and fingerprint sensor. Both will have the same screen size as their predecessor, along with a rating of IP68 for water and dust resistance.
What You Should Do Before It Drops
If you want to make the most of your current smartphone, consider selling it instead of stuffing it in your drawer. Specifically, consider selling it before Samsung announces the S9 and drives an increasing number of people to put their own smartphones on the market. It's easy to do yourself, and if you're that averse to the idea of photographing, shipping, and charging someone for your smartphone, just mail it in to companies that will do the heavy lifting for you. The rumoured pre-order date of March 1 is just over a week away, with the phones rumoured to ship by March 16. In the meantime, you can always use some old smartphone you haven't sold while you wait for your new S9. Alternatively, it could be a perfect time to experiment with an old flip phone for a while, no?

The Knowledge base
Why is it important that my terminal or point of sale system be EMV enabled?
EMV acceptance became mandated in the US in October, 2015. If an EMV card is presented for payment and it is not processed as an EMV transaction by dipping the card into the terminal, as the merchant, you are financially liable for counterfeit chargebacks on those types of transactions. It is very important that you have an EMV terminal or point of sale system that is EMV enabled to avoid this very real liability. Issuing Banks are actively transferring this liability to merchants through the chargeback system. Contact JetPay at firstname.lastname@example.com or your Salesperson to upgrade your terminal or review point of sale options.

When you first eyeball your mortgage it can seem scary. You're borrowing a hell of a lot of money and the realisation dawns that it might take 25 years to pay off.
First up, don't stretch yourself too far. Work your budget on making repayments based on an 8.50% interest rate even if your actual rate is below 6%. That way you pay it off faster from the start. If you set up your repayments at this sort of level then it is essentially "fixed for life." Fixed in the sense that your repayments will never need to change if mortgage rates go up. I've laboured on this first point quite a bit in recent posts.
My second point is a newbie! Feed half of any salary increases to the mortgage. This is so simple and painless because it is never money you enjoyed anyway. Wage inflation is typically running at about 3%. That said, as we get older and more experienced chances are it will increase faster than this. So if every year we give up 50% of any wage increase to the mortgage, the life of a 25 year mortgage drops to 16 years. I think almost all homeowners could pay off their mortgage in less than 15 years, it just requires a bit of planning and action.

2017 Toyota Prius C Price Review Hatchback – One year gotten rid of from a full overhaul, the 2017 Toyota Prius C Price is one more large step for the car manufacturer– but possibly not for the reason you're assuming. The Prius this year is component of 2017 Toyota Prius V Electric Engine Review larger press to make energetic safety and security budget friendly and available on cars for the car-buying masses.
2017 Toyota Prius C Price Review Hatchback
For those drivers, the 2017 Toyota Prius C Price Review Hatchback is a great selection. This is a car that welcomes its station in life as a fuel-sipping, easy-to-park and functional little hatchback, a verdict we reached after investing a year screening our long-term Toyota Prius C Price. The Toyota Prius C Price is the smallest (19 inches much shorter than a common Prius) and lowest-priced member of the Prius household. The EPA estimates that the Prius C delivers an exceptional 50 miles each gallon in combined driving. The Toyota Prius C Price is loud and slow contrasted to its competitors.
Offered this car's chief goal, we don't think about those bad marks to be deal breakers. With that 50 mpg ranking and Toyota's rock-solid online reputation for reliability and reduced running prices, there's truly no other hybrid available that contrasts. Honda ceased its Insight hybrid and Civic Hybrid this year, and that leaves just the two-seat Honda CR-Z to consider. It cannot match the Toyota Prius C Price fuel economy or functionality. To get the very best fuel economic situation on a budget plan, the Prius C Review is your car.
2017 Toyota Prius C Exterior
The Persona Series adds to the 2017 Toyota Prius C Price Review Hatchback Two trim with model-specific 15-inch black alloy wheels, special badging and a black exterior (the just choice) with either Electric Lime or Cherry Pearl accents on the side mirrors, lower grille and beneath the fronts lights and side home windows. Due to the fact it's a carryover, we presume a handful of, if any kind of, changes to the look of the 2017 Toyota Prius Hybrid Price And Release Date.
Luckily, the little hybrid matches its target demographic nicely using well sportier highlights and unique colors. We assume this to bring into the new model year, so anticipate seeing typical steel edges with not as well cute hubcaps.
2017 Toyota Prius C Interior
2017 Toyota Prius C Price Review Hatchback interior also assures to shock fans of this hybrid, as it is designed even more unique. The interior design of the new generationToyota Prius C Price, of course, as futuristic and fantastic, like the appearance of the hybrid.
Initial and fashionable developers have actually created the location of the transmission control of the vehicle with a vertical platform for positioning of direction control joystick, Parking brake switch and Drive Mode and EV Mode switches, and an area on a central passage, which is induction charging smart devices (just put the phone down and it charging). The driver's and front traveler's seats are comfortable, however in spite of its take on appearance (an anatomical account backrest, pronounced side boosts assistance) do not provide sufficient assistance in turns.
2017 Toyota Prius C Engine Specs
The 2017 Toyota Prius C Price is 2.4 inches longer, 0.6 inches wider and concerning an inch reduced compared to previous designs. The design of the Toyota Prius C Price was made to be more aerodynamic, resulting in low power consumption and decreased drag. The Toyota Prius C Price engine is a 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle 4– cylinder engine with 40 percent-plus thermal efficiency.
The engine provided here is a petroleum one and 8 liters and an electric drive. The first vehicle is done making use of several variants of the batteries, for the normal version of the Prius and energy-efficient– Prius Yoko. A new variation of the 2017 Toyota Prius C Price will be extra secure for driving due to the adhering to innovations: the Automatic decrease of rate with danger of accident.
2017 Toyota Prius C Release Date and Price
When potentially you could actually buy a 2017 Toyota Prius C Price Review Hatchback and the real prices yet identified by the Toyota Company.

Our resident Movie Maniac Joe Mazzola has another great review for all our loyal Elwood Cinemas customers! Please check it out!
When Detroit Police Officer Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnamon) is gravely wounded in the line of duty, the ambitious global security corporation Omnicorp sees an opportunity to bring their enterprise to American soil by creating the epitome of domestic law enforcement, RoboCop.
This latest addition in a series of Hollywood reboots turns out to be an exceptionally entertaining popcorn flick. With an excellent supporting cast including the likes of Michael Keaton, Samuel Jackson, and the ever-charismatic Gary Oldman, the new RoboCop doesn't solely rely on flashy action sequences to immerse audiences into an exciting plot. While Director Jose Padilha deviates from the over-the-top brutality of the iconic 80s film in this modern adaptation, he sticks close to the original story and maintains a satirical theme on the issues of Drone technology, military industrialization, and the foreboding sense of a police state. Although the robots that Omnicorp implement boast impressive results in maintaining security, witnessing the collateral damage and loss of basic humanity asks the viewer once more if the ends justify the means.
What impressed me about this PG-13 adaptation was that while it lacked the demeanor of a dark comedy the original possessed, two hours seemed to fly by as the story maintains a good pace between character development, showing off futuristic science and technology, and its action sequences. If you're looking for a thriller this February with a strong sense of justice, then dead or alive, you're coming to Elwood Cinemas to see RoboCop.

Most of Microsoft's Surface product lineup is scheduled for a potential refresh at Microsoft's October 2 event in New York City, and educated guesses, rumors, and potential reports of new Surface hardware are beginning to, er, surface, But which make sense?
Last October, Microsoft's Surface launch included the Surface Pro 6, Surface Laptop 2, the Surface Studio 2, and the Surface Headphones. Earlier in 2018, Microsoft announced the Surface Go and the Surface Book 2. Theoretically, Microsoft could refresh all of these products, which would make for an epic Surface launch.

Do you ever wonder how your mortgage payments are broken down each month? There seems to be a lot that goes into a mortgage payment each month, and it is important to understand exactly where your money is going every month for so many years. This is where mortgage amortization comes into play. Mortgage amortization is the way your mortgage payments are distributed on a monthly basis. This in-depth look shows how much interest and principal will be paid off each month for the duration of the loan term. This schedule shows you just how much interest is being paid each month, as well as how much money is going straight to the principal amount of your mortgage loan. This will show you exactly how much you will be paying over the duration of paying back your mortgage. This can help you decide what type of mortgage term you want for your home, and which one will be best suited to your financial situation.
How much interest you pay on your mortgage will depend on what the current interest rate was when you purchased your home. Let's say you have a mortgage of $100,000 at 6.5% for 30 years on a fixed rate mortgage. Your monthly payment would be $632.07. $541.67 of that number would go to interest that month, and $90.40 would go toward the principal. After this, you would now owe $99,909.60 on the mortgage because you took off $90.40 from the outstanding balance. So, the next month, you would owe the interest on the $99,909.60 instead of the full $100,000. Your interest paid will slowly go down along with the lowering outstanding balance of your mortgage, but the amount paid to principal will increase each year as the interest goes down. For example, in the last month of your mortgage, you will still pay the $632.07 monthly payment, but $628.66 would go to principal, while just $3.41 would go towards interest. This is because you have paid the mortgage down, lowering the amount of money that will be charged interest.
Now that we understand where your money is going each month, you have to decide which loan term you want. The amortization schedule will show exactly where your money is going each month based on the number of years you are paying back the mortgage, as explained above. If you have a longer term, you will be paying lower monthly payments, but you will end up paying more interest over time because the balance goes down slower. If you have a shorter amortization period, then you will pay less interest over time because you are paying off the loan more quickly, but your monthly payments will be higher.
You can look into different payments. If you do biweekly payments, the extra payment will go toward principal, which will lower the amount of interest paid and decreases the term of the loan. You can also do what are called accelerated payments any time of the year when you are financially capable, and make the term shorter, as well as lessen the amount of interest you have to pay on the mortgage.
Knowing where your money is going each month when you write the check to pay for your mortgage is important. This way, you can decide which term is right for your financial situation. Although it can be very confusing, your mortgage lender will work with you to ensure you understand where your money is going, and why your payments are played out the way they are.

The merger is not structured as a buy out or acquisition but represents a collaborative partnership between the two Washington-based credit unions.

Hovanec, PE, worked with Union Pacific Railroad (UP) for nearly 38 years, where he served in various leadership roles.

Hovanec is an alumnus of Bucknell University, where he holds a Bachelor of Science in civil engineering. He is also a long-time member of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association and the American Society of Civil Engineers, TranSystems said.

In the center of Lake Toba, there is small island called Samosir island covering an area of 329 square miles.
Samosir island is the original home of the fiercest but kind hearted Toba Batak which can be be reached within a half an hour by boat from Parapat. There are 2 main ferry jetty points on Samosir island are Tomok a traditional village with beautiful houses and a stone tombs, and Tuktuk where many hotels and restaurants are found. Tomok is famous for years now as the gateway to Samosir island, the visitors are greeted by rows of stalls selling a bewildering array of Batak calendar and traditional Batak musical instruments. In Tomok village you can find the ancient royal stone tomb of the Sidabutar clan dynasty. Bodies were buried in the stone sarcophaguses under a large banyan tree. Around 4 km north of Tuktuk village is Ambarita an attractive village with ancient stone walls that were once topped with a thick pagar or fence of thorny bamboo. Inside are stone seats and modern statuary the work of the Siallagan clan some 54 years ago. Ambarita is also good base for treks a cross the island.
Simanindo is a picturesque village and has some of the best traditional houses and here you can see the Raja Sidauruuk house and now become a museum. At this museum you can see cultural performances. Pangururan is the proper town on Samosir island and also the administrative center of Samosir island. When visiting Lake Toba don't forget to buy some souvenir such as Ulos weaving common in many villages on the northwestern shore of Samosir island.

If you instead try to obtain your phytochemicals in a pill, keep in mind that there is no real evidence of the efficacy of supplementation, and there is the risk of toxicity from unnaturally high doses of isolated chemicals. Okay, now let's apply this basic understanding of nutritional principles to some potential food choices.

From the Daily Caller.
The left-wing group that helped organize the violent shut down of the Milo Yiannopoulos event at the University of California, Berkeley on Wednesday is backed by a progressive charity that is in turn funded by George Soros, the city of Tucson, a major labor union and several large companies.
The Alliance for Global Justice, based in Tucson, is listed as an organizer and fiscal sponsor for Refuse Fascism, a communist group that encouraged left-wingers to shut down the Yiannopoulos event.
……Refuse Fascism, which includes Princeton professor Cornel West as one of its founding "initiators," defended the response, issuing a statement on its website that called the shut down "righteous."
……According to its most recent 990 tax form, Alliance for Global Justice (AfGJ) received $2.2 million in funding for the fiscal year ending in March 2016.
One of the group's biggest donors is the Tides Foundation, a non-profit funded by billionaire progressive philanthropist George Soros. Tides gave AfGJ $50,000.
Other notable donors include the city of Tucson and the United Steel Workers labor union. The former gave $10,000 to AfGJ while the latter contributed $5,000.
What an assortment of shitbags:
From Breitbart:
The riot started at UC Berkeley on Wednesday after protesters against Breitbart Senior Editor MILO became increasingly violent outside of his show.
"Anti-fascists" started several fires, smashed windows and ATMs, looted downtown stores, attacked cars, and assaulted dozens of MILO fans, male and female, who they falsely accused of being "Nazis."
Despite the large amount of violence, numerous reports indicate that police officers refused to intervene, and only one suspect was arrested.
UFC veteran and professional MMA fighter Jake Shields was even forced to rescue a man who was being assaulted by left-wing rioters after police allegedly refused to intervene.
"Like fifteen people were trying to attack him and others were cheering them on," explained Shields, who managed to successfully rescue the man, in an interview with Breitbart News. "No one helped, no one had the balls to step in, so my reaction was to run in and start picking people off."
"More chaos started happening, so I went up to the police and tried bringing them back, but they were just like 'we're not really going over there. You should just stay away.'" he continued. "I don't know if they were taking orders from someone or if they were just being lazy. I don't know what the situation was, but it was pathetic to watch. Our police, who are supposed to defend the citizens of Berkeley. It's a sad scene that they would allow that."
Anarchist thugs run wild through the streets, committing arson, assault, and vandalism but the cops act like spectators. Who the hell told them not to stop this shit? Probably the unhinged LeftProg mayor Jesse Arreguin.
Soros is known for using his money to finance some pretty despicable things.
The FBI needs to investigate Soros and his merry band of lowlifes.

LHS 1140b is a Super Earth that revolves around a M type star, 40.7 light years away from our solar system. It is located in the habitable zone around its host star, not only does it have water, but scientists hope it is one of the rocky planets that could support life.
It was discovered by the MEarth Project(*1), which uses the transit method to search for stars smaller than our sun. It was also observed with the radial velocity method, using the HARPS(*2) spectrograph.
The planet's radius was found by the transit method, and the mass was found by the radial velocity method. Using these two observation results, it is possible to assume the planet's density. (See Searching for Exoplanets)
The planet might look like either Snowball Earth due to relative lower temperature (calculated as 230 K) or Rocky surface, tidally locked with dayside hemisphere covered by dry-rocky surface and nightside hemisphere covered with either water or snow).

You may find detailed explanation in our database page
"We measure the mass of the planet to be 6.6 times that of Earth, consistent with a rocky bulk composition. LHS 1140b receives an insolation of 0.46 times that of Earth, placing it within the liquid-water, habitable zone. With 90 per cent confidence, we place an upper limit on the orbital eccentricity of 0.29. The circular orbit is unlikely to be the result of tides and therefore was probably present at formation. Given its large surface gravity and cool insolation, the planet may have retained its atmosphere despite the greater luminosity (compared to the present-day) of its host star in its youth. Because LHS 1140 is nearby, telescopes currently under construction might be able to search for specific atmospheric gases in the future."

Roll Forming vs. Press Braking & Other Metal Forming Services
October 08, 2018
There are four main metal forming services used in the manufacturing industry today: press braking, stamping, extrusion, and roll forming. All have advantages and disadvantages, so the one you choose will depend on a few important factors:Should you use roll forming, press braking, or other metal forming services? The answer depends on:
Each forming operation will perform differently for each factor.
Press braking is efficient and cost-effective compared to the other options, but only at small volumes and with shorter part lengths. Larger orders get expensive very quickly, as the brake forming process is labor intensive. Brake presses are also unable to handle longer parts.
A brake press is normally easier to set up (depending on the number of dies needed for the complete forming sequence) which saves time and cost. Brake press tooling is normally less expensive than roll forming or stamping.
Press braking runs into a few challenges in its forming process.
If you don't need really tight tolerances, don't care about appearance, and have a small order volume, press braking might be the metal forming service for you.
Stamping has been the go-to process for many years due to its ease and affordability. Cycle times are short, it can produce complex & fabricated parts, and it doesn't require a skilled operator.
However, stamping cannot produce long parts, it fights with springback, and it leaves tool marks and scratches on the products. In addition, it also has difficulties with:
As you can see, the cost of roll forming vs metal stamping is highly dependent on your specific project needs. Jobs with shorter parts, parts of the same size, and no need for aesthetics may benefit from stamping.
You can think of the extrusion process like a Play-Doh squeezer or a pasta machine. The material is forced through a die while still soft to create the desired shape.
The consistency of the die means an extruded part will have very tight tolerances.
Unlike press braking and stamping, extrusion allows for multiple cross-sections, wall thickness control, and the tooling costs are incredibly low. There are four main disadvantages to extrusion:
Extrusion is best for projects with thick walled (.060" +) aluminum, non-steel, non-fabricated parts.
Roll forming tooling costs are higher compared to other forming services, but roll forming allows for more in-line fabrication, medium to large runs, and higher volume orders.
Due to the more gradual forming sequence, roll forming produces extremely tight tolerances as well as an attractive finish. The process allows you to add tooling to create any shape, no matter how complex. Because the material is coiled and fed through, there are no limits on length.
Roll forming easily handles high volume orders, and is more cost-effective at high volumes. It allows for in-line fabrication (lower labor cost) and can easily form high-strength steels while accommodating for springback.
There are only a few drawbacks to the roll forming process:
Roll forming performs best for projects that require medium to high volumes, tight tolerances, and an attractive appearance.

Tooling costs in manufacturing are already a sore spot for many purchasers, but some think roll forming tooling is cost-prohibitive altogether. Sadly, the up-front price tag blinds them to literal down-the-line savings.
That's right -- if your project fits, a roll former can actually optimize[...]
Quick: Which charges higher prices for metal fabrication -- a company that has in-house roll forming tooling design capabilities or one that outsources it?
What does an OEM roll former do? Is the process any different from architectural roll forming? And how is either going to solve your project's case?

We have surpassed a roller coaster month of intense developments over the Iran nuclear deal. Discussions in Washington, and talks between Europe and the United States catapulted us all into a simple conclusion:
A major global policy change was in the making. U.S. President Donald J. Trump followed suit and delivered his landmark speech last Friday.
It was the first time in over 30 years that a U.S. president completely devoted a speech to announcing his policy in regards to Iran. Trump delivered America's new comprehensive strategy vis-à-vis Iran, following months of anticipation and talks.
The issue at hand is not a discussion about personal differences between George W. Bush, Barack Obama or Donald Trump. Policies have reached a dead end and long term interests have left America no choice but to adopt new policies.
What makes this transition even more important is the fact that an intense war on both sides of the Atlantic has been ongoing over this policy transition. This is not limited to the pro-Iran lobby camp. Major interests are at risk here, covering issues far more important than Washington's Iran policy.
In this 19-minute speech never did Trump deliver a neutral stance regarding Iran. The entire text was focused on placing his crosshairs on the Iranian regime. He began with the 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover in Tehran, continuing with the bombings in Beirut, Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Tanzania and Iraq against America and its allies.
The objective was not to deliver new tactics or mere mechanisms on how America will approach Iran. The very foundations of U.S. policy on Iran has undergone major alterations.
One very interesting fact was how Trump focused on using the terms the "Iranian regime" and/or the "Iranian dictatorship". Even if he preferred not to use the phrase of "Islamic Republic," Trump had the option of resorting to "Iran." Yet his decision to rely on the "Iranian regime" can be considered a non-recognition of this regime in its entirety.
President Trump using the terms "dictatorship" and "regime" indicates the ultimate objective of US policy is regime change in Iran, according to Richard Haass, President of the Council of Foreign Relations, as cited by various state websites in Iran.
In the first minute of his speech the U.S. president described Iran as an aggressive, radical and fanatic regime, and he refused to use the term "government."
Trump's speech focused on two subjects: the Iran nuclear deal and this regime's regional belligerence and meddling through the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
Prior to his remarks, Trump was under fierce pressure from Europe to certify Iran's compliance with the nuclear accord, technically known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). America's European allies even took one step back in asking Trump that in the case of decertifying the JCPOA, at least call on Congress not to re-impose pre-JCPOA sanctions on Iran.
Trump, however, stood against all pressures and his specific orders sent a message to the U.S. Congress and Europe: either fix the JCPOA or else the entire pact will come to an end.
The Europeans, seeking to maintain the JCPOA intact at all costs, found themselves before a fork in the road. The price of safeguarding the JCPOA is to place pressure on Tehran to resolve the existing loopholes.
This will be completely against Tehran's interests, targeting the "sunset" clauses, Iran's ballistic missile program and access to military sites for rigorous inspections.
"The notion that [Iran's] entry into the JCPOA would curtail Iranian adventurism, the terror threat, or their malignant behavior has proven to be fundamentally false," CIA Director Mike Pompeo said at a recent session held by the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Another very important aspect of Trump's speech is recognizing Tehran as a threat, and in other words, America's enemy number one. This, again, marks a strategic shift and not a mere tactical alteration.
"Over the last decade and a half, United States policy has also consistently prioritized the immediate threat of Sunni extremist organizations over the longer-term threat of Iranian-backed militancy," a White House press release read prior to Trump's speech.
This is the epicenter of America's strategic shift regarding Iran and the Middle East. Following the 9/11 attacks, the flawed U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 played into Iran's hands. These developments provided the necessary grounds for Tehran to spread its influence in the shadows of Sunni extremists and fundamentalists.
To add insult to injury, the Obama years gave birth to a policy hinging on recognizing a role for Tehran in regional developments. This period witnessed America distancing from its Sunni allies.
"The Trump Administration will not repeat these mistakes," the press release adds. Once again the Iranian regime has become the main enemy in the region, as we have witnessed in the developments of the past few months following the historic Riyadh conference back in April.
The IRGC also became another major target of Trump's harsh and unprecedented remarks targeting the Iranian regime's top authority.
"The Revolutionary Guard is the Iranian Supreme Leader's corrupt personal terror force and militia… I am authorizing the Treasury Department to further sanction the entire Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for its support for terrorism and to apply sanctions to its officials, agents, and affiliates," he said.
The U.S. Treasury Department followed suit and blacklisted the IRGC as a terrorist entity.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei responded Wednesday to Trump's remarks by merely saying Tehran would not walk out of the JCPOA, indicating his regime's desperate dependence to the pact's reliefs.
This makes it even more interesting how Germany's Der Tagesspiegel recently wrote, "Iran has [according to German security sources] clearly not given up its long-term goal to become an nuclear power that can mount nuclear weapons on rockets."
Equally important is how Trump in his remarks specifically separated the Iranian people from the ruling regime, and made his intention crystal clear.
"Iran is under the control of a fanatical regime that seized power in 1979 and forced a proud people to submit to its extremist rule… In this effort, we stand in total solidarity with the Iranian regime's longest-suffering victims: its own people," he specified.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in an interview with CNN on Sunday raised the stakes further for Tehran.
"… the hope that one day the Iranian people will retake the government of Iran," he said.
Of course, we can argue that Trump's speech fell short of shedding important light on Iran's flagrant human rights violations and the Iranian people's demand for change.
While this is worthy of a lengthy debate, what is important now is that a major revolution in U.S. policy in the face of the Iranian regime spells disaster for Tehran's rulers, and opportunity for the Iranian people.
