Although there are fewer fireworks and more personal admin tasks at the end of the financial year than at the calendar year, the 30th of June is still a big deal to the world of finance.
It marks, among other things, the cut-off date to make personal super contributions to your account.
We wrote this guide to help our members make personal contributions through the EOFY festivities.*
Personal contributions are voluntary contributions members make into their super fund in addition to the compulsory contributions made by their employer (currently 9.5% of someone's salary).
People make personal contributions into their super to boost their retirement savings. Super is generally invested in stocks, property, bonds, cash and other assets in a concessionally taxed environment (super is generally taxed less than income from other sources). They may also be claimed as a personal tax deduction to reduce your total tax liability (more on this later).
Follow these 3 steps to make a personal contribution to your Future Super account:
- Log in to your online member portal.
- Fill out the Personal Contribution Form through the "Make a personal contribution" section of the portal.
- Transfer the funds from your bank to ours. Use the BPAY or direct deposit details provided in the personal contribution form. Use the payment reference number from the form when transferring the money.
Now on to tax deductions. Stick with me, I promise it'll be worth it in the end.
Personal contributions are automatically allocated as non-concessional contributions. This means that they are not taxed when they go into an account, because they come from income that was already taxed by the government, e.g. a salary.
However, you may be able to claim personal super contributions as a personal tax deduction. This may reduce your income tax liability when lodging a tax return by the amount of the contribution claimed in that financial year.
This will mean that your personal contributions become concessional contributions and 15% tax is withheld by the super fund to be paid to the ATO. To claim, you must complete and submit a Notice of Intent to claim or vary a personal tax deduction form to email@example.com.
A couple of FAQs
Is there an age limit for making personal contributions?
Yes, if you are under 65 you can make a personal contribution. If you are between 65 and 74 you must pass the 'work test' of working more than 10 hours per week to make a personal contribution. If you are over 75 you cannot make personal contributions.**
Do I have to fill out a contribution form every time I make a payment?
Yes and No, if you choose to make your contribution regularly you must use the same amount, frequency and payment reference when transferring money. However, if you make contributions of varying amounts on varying frequencies you will need to complete a new personal contribution form each time.
Do personal contributions count towards my contributions cap?
Yes, if you claim a tax deduction for a personal super contribution, the contribution will count towards your concessional (before-tax) contributions cap of $25,000. From 1 July 2018 onwards you can bring forward your unused concessional contributions cap to the next financial year. The first year you can bring forward your unused cap is 2019-2020, but only if your balance is less than $500,000 at the end of June in the previous financial year. For more information, the ATO's website has a useful guide.
*Please note any information provided is general in nature and should not be considered personal financial advice. We recommend you speak to a qualified financial adviser for personal advice.
**Please confirm you are eligible to make contributions to Future Super.
***Please note this contribution will remain preserved until a condition of release occurs, such as retirement after reaching preservation age.

Dear Reader.
With the winter and the cold that comes with it affecting
us all, it is time to pay closer attention to one of
the ways it affects factory automation. The low temperatures
encourage static electricity and this has a direct impact
on the production processes, lowering the final product
quality or even jeopardising the safety of workers.
So we decided that our first e-matters of the year had
to be dedicated to helping you eliminate static electricity.
This month we bring 3 brand new efficient solutions
to tackle it and to reduce your production costs, improve
your efficiency and create a safer working environment.
Welcome to this years first edition of e-matters.

Let's take a moment to celebrate the heart! This organ does so much for us, beating 108,000 times per day to supply all other tissues with oxygen and helping to remove toxins. It shouldn't come to anyone's surprise that if the heart stops working, you stop working. With that in mind, we are excited to celebrate American Heart Month!
Now, when we think of February, we can't forget Valentine's Day, which goes hand in hand with chocolate and sugary desserts. In support of Heart Month, I am going to suggest that rather than indulging in those high calorie, sugary sweets that will not benefit you or your heart, try indulging in healthier alternatives your whole body can enjoy.
So let's dive in to how sugar consumption is related to poor cardiovascular health. There is abundant evidence indicating sugar consumption can lead to elevated triglycerides, which is a well established risk factor for coronary heart disease.1,2,3 When this happens, the major arteries that supply blood to the heart are blocked, and it is unable to function properly. Additionally, having coronary heart disease also increases your risk for heart attacks and sudden cardiac death. On top of that, there is evidence of sugar consumption contributing to elevated blood pressure and increased vascular inflammation, further increasing your risk for cardiac events.4
All in all, Americans have been consuming too much sugar, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that number continues to rise.5 So this Valentine's Day, and perhaps the entire month of February, in celebration of Heart Month, let's all reduce added sugar and give our loved ones a treat that is not only tasty, but healthy!
Dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate
Aim for 80% or higher dark chocolate, which has less sugar and more cocoa than milk chocolate, and is higher in antioxidants. Try dipping strawberries or almonds in dark chocolate, adding fiber and heart-protective omega-3 fats!6,7
Work your heart out to keep it strong
Instead of giving the standard box of chocolates this Valentine's Day, give the gift of a shared experience. Try a new dance or yoga class, book ski or snowboarding lessons, schedule a snowshoeing date or join a rock-climbing gym. Activities that keep you active and allow you to share new experiences with a loved one strengthen your heart and your relationships at the same time.
Relax like your life depends on it
We are all overloaded by schedules, to-do lists and work...why not give the gift of relaxation? Consider booking a couple's massage, a spa day or a weekend away to unwind and take a break from the madness. Stress can wreak havoc on your heart, but a restful retreat will rejuvenate you and your loved one.
Hope these healthy alternatives make for a delightful Valentine's Day! Happy Heart Month everyone.

There is a type of perilous decision-making:
real-time decision-making
that I have wanted to blog about for a while. However, the most vivid example I have in recent times involves me nearly ending up in a heap trying to get out of my shower and I'm a bit reticent to share that experience in a business blog!
Studying Control Theory, I recall being amazed to learn about the real-time control algorithms that enabled inherently unstable systems to operate in a stable way (e.g. Eurofighter, Segway etc.). If you are travelling in an inherently unstable jet at just below Mach 1 you really want the computer to be in control of interpreting the requests of the pilot and adjusting the engines and wings to safely execute those commands.
But what happens when it's your brain that is in charge of getting you safely from one place to the next?
In my household I do my share of the house-work including washing the bath mats each week. My shower-related perilous real-time decision-making started as I went to get out of the shower one day. Typically I towel down first and then step out of the shower. Sadly this strategy, (a), is to minimise use of the shower mat so that it does not need to be washed so often. The alternative strategy, (b), is to exit the shower and towel down while standing on the bath mat.
Which strategy do you choose?
In my experience there is no problem while one strategy or another is clearly being followed. However, a few weeks ago I experienced the tricky situation where my brain changed its mind about which strategy to follow half-way through my exit manoeuvre. I.E. It initially selected (b) but then when I was on one foot and leaning outwards it suddenly changed its plan to (a) – with the result that I nearly landed up in a heap on the bathroom floor.
A trivial moment of confusion?
I don't think so.
I think it was more of a skirmish between intuitive System 1 & logical System 2 (see Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" 2011) that I allowed to surface in daily life. System 1 just said; "Get out of the shower now". And System 2 was a bit slower than usual at chiming in with the more logical set of rules that said; "Nope. Stay put and get dry first." I don't like my mind playing 'switch tactics' on me in real-time without my permission. It almost ended in a painful fall.
But then any of us could get 'hurt' by our mental reflexes responding in real-time to our personal situations if the logic and intuition parts of our brain don't have the same outcome in mind.
How often does that happen?
My experience is that once you become aware of these micro-processes it is evident that they are operating all-day, every day of our lives. All might be well if reason and gut-instinct are aligned. But when they differ we find ourselves suddenly in the realm of;
perilous real-time decision-making.
A mix of awareness, agile response and good fortune may see us through. But if we are caught unawares, lack the flexibility to respond dynamically or just don't have sufficient time to react – we might end up in a whole heap of trouble.
Perilous Real-time decision-making…better in the shower-room than in the Board room.
Business Decision Design® can help us to both manage risks and harness creativity when it comes to handling perilous real-time decision-making.
I hope you have a dry week.

Have you ever seen a product on your Instagram feed that you instantly fell in love with? Whether a model from a targeted ad or your favorite influencer was rocking the fashion accessory (ex: dress, bag, sunglasses, etc.), new Instagram features are making it easier to answer your inevitable question: "Where did you get that?"
The truth is — Instagrammers love to shop and Instagram knows this. That is why they have continued to build their platform as a way to encourage shopping enthusiasts to discover and even purchase new items. Don't mistake Instagram as the next Walmart or even Amazon, Instagram strives to only promote shopping for items that instill joy, like a new pair of sparkling boots or the perfect one-piece bathing suit, and not essentials, like toilet paper or water filters.
With this in mind, Instagram continues to improve their new Instagram shopping experience.
Scenario time! Remember that one time you saw a product post (let's say a photo of shoes from a known brand), clicked on their Instagram profile, visited the link in their bio, went to their website, got a text from your friend, and forgot about the shoes?
Unfortunately for brands, it is not uncommon for shoppers to abandon their search. This can happen for many reasons, such as skepticism of entering credit card information on an unknown site, getting distracted, or simply changing their minds about the purchase. As you have probably heard, the more clicks a shopper has to take before purchasing your product, the less likely they will actually complete the transaction.
On the bright side, Instagram is aware of this buyer's journey, after all, isn't this the era of immediate gratification with buyers that expect their Uber to arrive in less than five minutes? As a result, Instagram has introduced shopping for Instagram, which allows brands to add clickable tags on their Instagram posts that leads shoppers directly to a product landing page. This eliminates the process of a shopper visiting a company's Instagram profile, clicking the link in their bio, landing on the home page, and finally navigating through the site to find the right product.
Overview of Instagram Shopping
New Instagram shopping features bring the "see, tap, and shop" experience to its users. This allows users to see your products in posts and stories, tap the clickable tag on your post, and shop directly on your product landing page. If a user is not ready to purchase an item, they can save the item on Instagram and complete their transaction at a later time. Shopping on Instagram has proven to be successful with more than 130 million accounts tapping to shop every month. In addition, 37% of U.S. Instagrammers admitted they love to shop and see it as a hobby.
Get excited brands — Instagram is implementing a checkout feature to make it even easier for users to purchase your products right on Instagram.
Preparing for the New Checkout Experience
The new Instagram Checkout offers users a quick and secure way to buy products they discover on Instagram. Instagram Checkout eliminates the hassle of navigating through an external landing page, entering payment information, and sometimes even having to create an account. Users can now purchase items through Instagram without worrying about having to log in or enter payment information multiple times. Acceptable forms of payment currently include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and Paypal.
The new Instagram checkout experience is currently in beta, meaning only select brands in the U.S. have access to this feature. These beta users include: Revolve, Nike, Burberry, Adidas, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Balmain, Burberry, ColourPop, Dior, Huda Beauty, H&M, KKW Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics, MAC Cosmetics, Michael Kors, NARS, Nike, NYX Cosmetics, Oscar de la Renta, Outdoor Voices, Ouai Hair, Prada, Revolve, Uniqlo, Warby Parker and Zara. Instagram hopes to make Instagram Checkout available to more brands in 2019.
Once Instagram finishes its beta phase and expands Instagram Checkout, businesses will be able to integrate with Shopify, BigCommerce, ChannelAdvisor, CommerceHub, and more. Payments will eventually be processed in partnership with Paypal.
Instagram Checkout is expanding quickly, and it is best to be ready to begin taking advantage of this feature as soon as it becomes available!
Tips on Creating Successful Instagram Shopping Posts
- Make sure your "shop tab" is turned on in your business profile. To use this feature, your account must be an eligible business account with a product category.
- Once your account is set up, feature multiple products in each post to encourage higher engagement. It's important to keep the focus on the products and not overcrowd the images with unnecessary tags.
- Get creative by using carousels and stories.
- Play around with stories by adding product stickers.
- Get your followers excited by posting about new releases and sales announcements via your Instagram.
- Remember – your products are stars of your post, keep them front and center!
Now that the new Instagram shopping experience is underway, it is time to ramp up your brand's Instagram account to ensure your posts are shown to a wide variety of potential customers. Let's be honest — what's the point of creating the perfect shopping for Instagram post if no one will see it? You can increase visibility on your posts in a number of ways. The most common — and important — way to increase post visibility and traffic is by engaging with others. Since this strategy can take hours each day to achieve, it is best to outsource the heavy lifting to third-party services, like Gold Nitro. Gold Nitro will target specific hashtags and accounts and engage in your behalf, giving you the organic benefits of engagement without the hassle and ridiculous agency prices. Start seeing the benefits today by signing up for a 14-day free trial here.

Google's driverless car is a game-changer. Piloted by a hefty dose of electronics, the Google car has traveled more than 300,000 miles without a single accident.
Google obviously thinks this technology has a future, and so do I. I think it's future is huge. So too does an author at Forbes, who I have to thank for much of what will follow here. Google's car will not only affect the way people drive cars, but it will have a lasting impact on numerous industries.
Chunka Mui says the Google car will eventually affect:
Car insurance – Google thinks its car would reduce accidents by 90%.
Gasoline consumption and sales – A road with self-driving cars would mean far more fuel efficiency. No more annoying traffic waves!
Car sales – We'll need fewer cars in the United States if a car can be shared by driving itself to another person, essentially delivering itself to the next user. Every home could be a one car home.
Personal injury lawyers – No accidents, no lawyers!
Real estate values – Prime real estate will no longer be wasted on parking. People who live and work in a metro area could have their car park itself miles away, where land values are lower and parking spaces don't cost $100,000.
Municipalities and state governments – See ya later, traffic tickets and licensing revenues.
Health care – Fewer traffic accidents mean far fewer emergency room visits. This is good for everyone as there will be more doctors, nurses, and hospital staff in general to go around.
Car repair businesses – Fewer cars and accidents mean fewer repairs and regular maintenance.
The Impact
Mui's next article in the series (not yet published) is about how Google will make money from their driverless car. Frankly, I don't think this will make Google all the much money, and by the time it does generate any profits (assuming it does) they'll have little net present value today. I see this as another example of a company that changes the world and makes no one rich. I'm interested to see what Mui has to say, though.
I'm still wondering if the driverless car will ever be made legal. What, with millions of people out of work (adios insurance sales, lawyers, gas station attendants, etc.), I expect a whole lot of lobbying to keep this from becoming law. Hell, you can't even pump your own gas in a few states.
Mui's article makes me realize the ridiculous amount of resources we dedicate to transportation including all the externalities. A Google car can definitely change the way we think about transportation, but can it make Google money?

Tricks to Get Kids to Pee in the Toilet
After spending countless dollars on diapers and wipes, as well as dealing with the nuisance of dirty diapers, it's no wonder that parents look forward to having a child use the toilet. However, the toilet-training process can also be a lengthy and stressful one, depending on the child, as well as a parent's approach. When it comes to getting your toddler to pee on the toilet, you can take certain steps to help the process along.
Timing and Readiness
Though you may be eager to see your child use the potty, you don't want to push potty training too soon. Most toddlers are not ready to toilet train before 18 months, with many starting the process between 2 and 3 years, according to the KidsHealth website 2. If your toddler can understand verbal instructions, shows interest in the toilet and can keep a diaper dry for at least two hours, she might be ready to start peeing in the toilet. If a major change occurs in the family, like a move or divorce, you might need to put toilet training until your toddler's environment is stable and secure. Never force your toddler to sit on the toilet against her will.
Parent Influence
The way you approach using the toilet can make a difference when it comes to training. Staying positive and using encouraging language, whether your toddler has an accident or successfully pees on the toilet, can encourage more progress in the future, according to HealthyChildren.org, a website of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Issuing verbal praise, giving your toddler a hug or using rewards like stickers each time she is successful on the toilet can encourage progress.
Bonding Time
Peeing on the toilet can be a bonding experience for toddlers and parents. You might want to take turns sitting on the toilet to ease your child's comfort level about the using the toilet, suggests the KidsHealth website 2. Reading stories while your son pees on the toilet or singing together can also transform a new, scary experience into a positive one. You might want to motivate your toddler to use the toilet by hanging an easy-to-understand chart on the bathroom wall, chronicling his successes by drawing a star or placing a sticker on it each time he uses the toilet appropriately.
Toddlers are still learning to identify the urge to use the bathroom, so accidents might occur frequently. Reminding and encouraging your child to use the toilet after meals, after she drinks lots of fluids, after waking up, before going to bed and after naps can reduce accidents 2. This kind of encouragement can also reinforce that using the bathroom is part of your child's daily routine. Wearing training pants instead of diapers can also encourage toddlers to feel "grown up" enough to use the toilet.

GDP Miss Due To Decrease In Government Spending by Todd Sullivan, ValuePlays
The important point of this is that a we've been saying for a while the private economy continue to hum along at a 3%+ growth rate. It also means if this is just a calendar issue with gov't expenditures, given that Q1 2014 GDP fell 1%, should those expenditures get pushed into Q1 along with normal spending, we could see a blowout GDP number in Q1 2015…
Finally, net exports caused a 1% decline in GDP. As actual numbers come in I'd expect this to be revised down and GDP revised up
"Davidson" submits:
US Real GDP for 4Q2014 was reported at rising 2.6%(this will be revised in future reports). By separating out Govt spending from the whole, you can see that Govt spending fell somewhat while the remainder continued to trend as it has since early 2009. This can be seen in the chart below.
Some have feared that falling oil prices are a result of a slowing US economy. Not so! Equity prices should respond to continued economic expansion by trending higher. Bond yields should rise(prices should fall) as investors eventually recognize that economic expansion continues.

Hot off the addition of a new head coach, the Northern Star Resources Goldfields Giants have secured their second imported player for season 2018, with the signing of dynamic American import Jeylyn Sharpe.
Sharpe, a 193cm (6'4") swingman brings to the Giants a superior scoring and rebounding option that will work alongside recent signees, import Kyle Sovine and dual citizen recruit Jake Martin.
Hailing from the southern central US state of Oklahoma, Sharpe started his basketball career in 2013 for his hometown Ketchum High School where he averaged 23 points and 13 rebounds in his senior season on his way to receiving Player of the Year and First Team All-State honours as his Ketchum Warriors made their first State Tournament in over a decade
From there he joined Rogers State University (NCAA DII) in nearby Claremore, Oklahoma where he played from 2013 to 2017 for the Hillcats.
In 107 games over 4 seasons, he scored 1125 points along with 511 rebounds along with a career 50% field goal percentage.
His Senior year saw him post career numbers of 16.3 points at 49% from the field and 7.6 rebounds on his way to being named to the NABC 2017 Division II All-South Central District First Team, D2CCAA South Central Region Men's Basketball Second Team and also being named Heartland Conference Player of the Year.
At the conclusion of his Rogers State career, Sharpe ranked first in school history in career rebounds, offensive rebounds and field goals made.
Since graduating, he's taken his career overseas to Luxembourg, where he's just finished playing for BBC Grengewald Hueschtert of the FLBB Nationale 2 league in Luxembourg, where he averaged 30 points per game.
After his first pro stint, Sharpe is keen to continue his career in Australia.
"I had the league recommended to me by Cooper Land (former Rockingham Flames import and two-time SBL MVP in 2014 & 2016), he just started as an assistant coach at my former college."
"He knew I wanted to play in Australia and he had connections, and I am thankful that he had me in mind when people asked him about players."
"He watched me play a little, he put me through some workouts and he told me I would do really well in the SBL." "When he told me about his time there he said 'You're going to fall in love with it.'"
"He said the competition was great, the fans were awesome, and that he didn't want to leave. That made me want to go over there even more."
"I'd like to thank him for this opportunity."
The European stint straight of college was a big step for Sharpe, but it helped him prepare for basketball in Australia.
"The experience in Luxembourg was great. The club was very kind to me and my teammates were great friends and helped me out whenever. Luckily for me they also speak English. So I never really had a language barrier out here."
"The biggest difference I see (about playing professionally) is players I have to go up against. I'm guarding and being guarded by guys from major DI colleges. It's a challenge I have excepted and enjoyed so far."
"Another thing is everything is a lot more fundamental out here in Europe. Everyone says that about European teams but you don't get an understanding of it until you experience it."
"I am a versatile player. In high school I played every position. In college I was a post or a guard depending on who was guarding me. I like to play up tempo. I can bang with the big guys in the post. I can hit a transition pull-up"
"I love putting the ball on the deck and going by someone or hitting a pull-up jumper. I think I can bring energy to this team along with knowledge. I know I'm young but my college coach taught me a lot, not only about the game but just how to be a winner."
Sharpe is due to arrive in Kalgoorlie-Boulder in early February to join the Giants in their pre-season campaign before the SBL Blitz pre-season tournament.

CHICAGO — A North Kenwood man spoke to WGN about the shocking discovery he made in his own home—a missing little girl opened his door and wandered right in.
Anton Montgomery said 7-year-old Destiny Arzola, who has Down syndrome, wandered away from her school, Woodson South Elementary, and walked right into his home. He said he's upset about what happened when he brought her back.
Montgomery said he was sitting at home watching television a little before noon Monday when he saw Destiny's face peeking around the corner.
Woodson South Elementary is just a couple of blocks away from Montgomery's home, so he walked her back, assuming she had wandered from the school. He said when he got there, the staff was grateful that he brought Destiny but, but made it seem like it "wasn't a big deal."
"As a parent, I was heated," he said. "I was very upset."
Montgomery called the police and tried to get some answers from the school. He said he was concerned because of all the things that could potentially happened to a lost child in the city.
"That's what bothers me as a parent," he said. "They just took her and made it seem like this is something that happens, this is a regular occurrence, just because she's a special needs student."
Destiny's mother said anything could have happened to her daughter.
"That's really scary," Perla Arzola said. "And then to find out it wasn't the first time? I did not know that."
Chicago Public Schools said they're looking into what happened.
Destiny's mother said she loves the school and plans to return Tuesday to talk to staff about how to keep this from happening again.

Strike Witches (EP1-3) I've gone deep this time. I mean, let's be honest, the niche for girls with planes for legs is pretty slim. So, it's no surprise Strike Witches has a cult following.

Harukana Receive (Ep6-7) I have been a pretty big fan of Harukana Receive since it stated airing. Maybe because it's a slightly better form of mediocrity than most other shows airing this season (Summer 2018).

Attack on Titan Season 3 – It's Better Already
I enjoyed Attack on Titan's first season. In fact, I suspect like many of us, it was one of the first anime shows I watched. Then, last year came along the long-awaited, and long wailed after, Season 2. It wasn't for me. The things I liked in the First seemed to have vanished in the … Continue reading Attack on Titan Season 3 – It's Better Already

Boston, MA Revocable Living Trusts
The format of the living trust for Boston, MA residents is not unlike that of the surrounding towns with one difference. In Boston, homeowners are given a real estate tax break when they both own AND occupy the residence. This tax break is given by Boston, and some adjacent towns such as Somerville, Cambridge, Watertown MA and a few others.
Where this MA real estate tax break is given, we generally use a different method of transferring the real estate to the trust than in towns that don't give this tax break. We avoid using a double trust design in Boston and surrounding Massachusetts towns when we do estate planning using a revocable living MA trust. We record, in the registry of deeds, a certificate showing the relevant terms rather than using a MA nominee realty trust.
It is a technical matter that we know how to achieve so that the residence owner continues to get their tax break in Boston MA.

You have the means necessary to have a healthy, beautiful smile. Since you have all of the tools you need available, there is little reason not to take advantage of them. This is a list of some things you should buy to keep your beautiful smile.
In the mornings and evenings, you should brush. Only brushing once a day can lead to too much bacteria building up on your teeth and in your entire mouth. Brushing twice a day is crucial to your oral health. Do your best to work it into your routine. You should also be flossing.
If you wish to find a dentist that you can afford, try a few different places first. If you do not have insurance, you may be able to receive deeply discounted dental care from dentists-in-training. Don't neglect visiting the dentist and strive to make an appointment twice a year.
You may be aware that brushing your teeth twice a day is the way to keep your teeth clean and healthy, but there are times when it is important to brush more often. Any time that you're consuming foods or drinks that are sugary, you must brush for a longer time and right after you consume them so that you're protecting your tooth enamel.
Brush after each meal. Food left to fester on your teeth can breed plaque. Brushing your teeth within 15-30 minutes of any meals will help to lessen plaque damage. Prevent potential toothaches by preventing plaque build-up.
The backside of teeth should not be neglected. You can have a tendency to focus on just the teeth at the front that you can see easily in your mirror, but you need to get those back teeth too so you prevent cavities. So when you brush, take good care to treat all of your teeth equally!
Do not chew ice. It can crack your teeth, causing cavities and rot. In addition, you should use caution when eating popcorn or nuts because these can also cause damage. Immediately visit your dentist if you believe that you may have cracked a tooth.
Many teens are naturally lazy when it is time to take care of their teeth. Teens are very conscious about their looks, so remind them that bad breath will be the result when they don't brush or use mouthwash. Embarrassment is a great motivator for teens.
Do not forget to brush your tongue. Many people overlook the tongue; however, it is extremely important that it stays clean. There are a lot of types of bacteria that live on your tongue. If you leave it be, it can transfer itself to your teeth, which will cause your breath to be bad.
It's fine if your kids want to chew on toothbrushes. Chewing on the bristles will help to clean their teeth to some extent, but at the same time, it does not replace the need for regular brushing. A child who chews on the toothbrush is attempting to becoming familiar with it; this will go a long way in promoting acceptance and good oral hygiene.
A great smile can open many doors in life. You can only have a beautiful one by properly caring for your teeth. This article has given you quite a few tools to purchase for maintaining beautiful teeth over time.

(AP Photo/Alex Brandon) View 1 more image (Newser) – President Trump's controversial pick to lead the CIA is testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee Wednesday—and the man behind the 9/11 attacks is hoping to weigh in. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, currently detained at Guantanamo Bay, this week asked a military judge at Gitmo for permission to share six paragraphs of information on Gina Haspel with the committee, the New York Times reports. Though his lawyers won't describe what's in the paragraphs, they say the information came directly from Mohammed and that they agreed his request was important. Mohammed was tortured by the CIA after his capture in 2003, and Haspel ran a black-site prison in Thailand in 2002 where detainees were waterboarded, the BBC reports. It's not clear whether she played any role in Mohammed's torture, nor is it clear whether the judge will rule on Mohammed's request before her confirmation hearing is over.

What is bitcoin?
Bitcoin – a decentralized digital currency system, equal peers, designed to provide users with the Internet to process transactions via a digital exchange unit known as Bitcoins. In other words, it is a virtual currency.
Bitcoin system was created in 2009 by programmers unsolved. Since bitcoin has attracted a lot of attention, as well as disputes as an alternative to the US dollar, the euro and commodity currencies, such as gold and silver.
popular promotions
Bitcoin does not attract much attention in the world of business and finance to 2009. He rose to the fore in the period 2011-2012, when he scored more than 300%. Because of last August in bitcoin occurred 400% of the cost increase. As a result, venture capital firms and investors around the world continue to attach importance to cryptocurrency.
In the first half of 2014 venture capital firms have invested in Bitcoin 57 million dollars, and in the second quarter is still $ 73 million, which amounted to 130 million dollars, which is 50% more than 88 million dollars last year. This is a complete contrast to the scenario in 2012, when the bitcoin companies collected a relatively paltry sum of $ 2.2 million.
These statistics are indisputable evidence that Bitcoin is worth your investment, which raises the question of how you can buy and invest in Bitcoin?
Beginners Guide to investors in bitcoin
The easiest and least complicated way to invest in Bitcoin – the acquisition bitkoynav. There are many established businesses mainly in the US and abroad who are engaged in buying and selling bitkoynav abbreviated as BTC.
If you live in the US, Coinbase – is a place that you are looking for. Coinbase BTC offers its customers the assessment of 1% more than the current market price. The inhabitants of the United States have the ability to synchronize their Coinbase purses from their bank accounts. As a result, future payments on translation are worries. This company also gives you the ability to automatically purchase bitkoynav from time to time. For example, if you are interested to buy 50 dollars a bitcoin at the beginning of each month, Coinbase allows you to set automatic buy for that amount.
Be aware of the conditions before you start using this service. If you subscribe to the service automatic coin-bit, you can not control the price at which bought BTC every month. Note that Coinbase does not function as Bitcoin exchange, that is, you buy and sell coins directly from the company. Since the company has to produce the coin in the other buyers, in the formulation of orders during a time of rapid market steps, you can threaten to delay or interruption.
BitStamp complies with the usual bitcoins. Bitcoin acts as an intermediary, which allows you to trade with other users, not the company itself. There liquidity above, and you always have a good chance to find someone who is willing to trade with you. The initial payment at the rate of 0.5%, which can be reduced to 0.2% if you trade $ 150,000 in 30 days.
Alternative methods of acquiring bitkoynav
local bitcoins
Exchange – is not the only method of investing in bitcoins. Local bitcoins are often used for BTC purchase offline. The site was developed to link potential buyers and sellers. Bitcoins are kept by the Seller in the decree, and can be sold only to buyers.
Buying bitkoynav offline are not always very reliable and safe. Thus, it is desirable to meet with vendors during the day, and let the other sits with you, just in case things go south.
Bitcoin – is not just a modern trend. venture capital firms consider bitcoin a worthy substitute for the usual currency in the long term. For you have useless ways to enter into the sphere of investments in bitcoin. As mentioned earlier, Coinbase, BitStamp and Local Bitcoins – the most popular channels for investment in bitcoins in the United States. Do your homework and find out what your prospect ticks all the boxes.

Helping Escalator Injury Victims Recover
Owners of commercial buildings have an obligation to ensure that their premises are safe, including elevators and escalators. If an accident occurs, the owners or managers can be held accountable for failing to have the machines inspected, maintained or repaired.
Raphaelson & Levine Law Firm has represented victims of elevator accidents and escalator accidents in New York City. Our lawyers know how to focus the investigation to reveal negligence, and we know how to get full value for the injuries and losses our clients have suffered.
Injured on an elevator or escalator? Contact us for a free case evaluation.
Escalators are a part of daily life for many New Yorkers, at work, at their apartment building or out shopping. Without warning, machine malfunction or related problems can cause serious harm.
- Sudden stops or jerks
- Loose teeth that snag shoelaces or clothes
- Gaps that trap feet
- Slippery treads
Escalator accidents can result in hip fractures, back injuries, head injury, serious injuries to feet and legs, and other severe or permanent injuries. Our legal team is committed to maximum compensation to cover medical care and rehab, lost earnings, disability, and pain and suffering.
Raphaelson & Levine obtained a significant recovery on behalf of an apprentice elevator mechanic injured when a counterweight fell and struck his face during renovations. Our investigation revealed a failure to observe specific elevator maintenance safety procedures mandated under city code.
We aggressively sue and litigate cases against owners of apartment buildings, office buildings, shopping malls, department stores, hotels, hospitals, parking garages and other properties to hold them accountable. We will also pursue action against companies that install or service elevators.
The city of New York requires regular inspections of elevators by certified inspectors. We obtain inspection reports and records relating to maintenance, repairs, and renovations. In many cases, landlords or property owners allowed maintenance and inspections to slide for many months or failed to act on recommended repairs.

Former Anglican priest Fr. Jeffrey Steel has made the journey home. Here is how he begins his story in a June 7, 2009 blog entry:
I am writing to make the announcement that I am becoming a Roman Catholic along with my wife Rhea and our six children. I realise that this decision is going to make some really happy, some very sad and others possibily angry. But, I have made the decision with the deepest sense of integrity and by conscience. I would like to share a bit of my faith journey though there are many gaps here, it is descriptive of my heart over the past few months. This is not particularly an academic account of what I have done in my studies but rather the spiritual wrestling that went on within me. The announcement was made this morning in all three parishes where I serve and is now a matter of public knowledge. My duties and licence in the parish end on 14 June 2009 (Corpus Christi Sunday) and my reception into Holy Mother Church is forthcoming.
My PhD studies really set me on my Catholic journey in a deep theological way though I did not realise it at the time. I have been looking at Bishop Lancelot Andrewes as a catalyst for ecumenism with the Catholic Church in the area of Eucharistic sacrifice. Andrewes was in regular dialogue with S. Robert Bellarmine SJ and it is in this dialogue and Andrewes' other writings that I saw how Catholic he was with regards to the Eucharist being the Christian offering which consisted of more than a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. It was and is propitiatory as well as other things.
Through my time of study in Catholic sacramental theology and viewing my own priestly ministry within this theological framework the question of communio began to frequently come to mind. I had fully embraced Catholic sacramental theology and believed that I could be a Catholic in the Church of England and planned on retirement from the C of E later in life. With all that is going on around the Anglican Communion presently, and particularly within the C of E and how she makes decisions on matters of doctrine, I began to ask questions about authority. As a theologian praying for reunion with the Holy See the question I was now asking was, 'on whose terms does this reunion take place?'

Ellie Neff, B.S., M.Ed.
Biographical Summary:
Oxford Who's Who has inducted Ellie Neff into the highest Professional Distinction "Top Tier of Excellence Lifetime Achievement Recognition" due to her outstanding contributions, achievements and leadership in education. Ellie Neff is one of few special honorees distinguished based on her professional accomplishments, academic achievements, years of service, and the credentials she has provided. Ms. Neff spent 39 years teaching in the very same building and has made an impact on generations of families lives. Having always been greatly inspired by those who have placed a child's needs as a top priority, Mrs. Neff had the same enthusiasm on her last day of teaching as she did her first. She is eager about the future of Neff Educational Consultants and confident about the level of expertise she has to offer. The Neff Educational Consultants, LLC and EBB the curriculum development program Ms. Neff has founded will provide profound effectiveness for elementary and secondary educators for years to come. Ms. Neff is excited and highly motivated to share this wealth of knowledge and welcomes invitations or speaking events. Oxford Who's Who fully endorses Ms. Ellie Neff in her efforts to continuously help education for children.
Becoming a teacher in August 1974, Ellie Neff taught in a very small, rural, poor school district. Spending the next 39 years in the very same building where she first started, she wore many hats. In addition to teaching in the classroom, she coached softball, was an advisor for the cheerleading squad, the yearbook, and student government, served as drama director, the at-risk director, and as a liaison to the countywide professional development committee. After retiring, she founded Neff Educational Consultants, as a way to continue giving back. "I founded the company and I developed the EBB Program," Mrs. Neff said, who will be doing consulting work for curriculum development and teacher effectiveness for elementary and secondary educators. "The company is just in the beginning stages and will be conducting two pilot programs in two local schools to gather statistical data to document the effectiveness of the program. I personally used this technique during the last five years of my teaching career. The positive results on state standardized tests motivated me to develop the professional development program." A graduate of Slippery Rock University with a BS in Education, Mrs. Neff then earned her MEd at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, followed by her Principal Certification at St. Francis University.

Toilet Role Play?
I resigned myself long ago to the fact that during toilet breaks I would most likely be joined by Diva, Bruiser and Uncle M. I'm not sure how I feel about having to continue my role as Captain Hook at the same time.
I resigned myself long ago to the fact that during toilet breaks I would most likely be joined by Diva, Bruiser and Uncle M. I'm not sure how I feel about having to continue my role as Captain Hook at the same time.
The problem with holidays is that eventually you have to come home. Nobody seems too impressed by this. Having spent three glorious weeks in France with access to a swimming pool, a beach, a play house and grandparents, Diva is particularly unimpressed with her lot.
Diva: We don't have a swimming pool.
Mummy: No, we don't.
Diva: Grandma and Grandad have a swimming pool.
Mummy: Yes, they do.
Diva: We don't have a beach.
Mummy: Not near by, no.
Diva: Grandma and Grandad do.
Mummy: Yes, they do.
Diva: We had lots of adventures with Grandma and Grandad.
Mummy: Yes, we did.
Diva: I miss Grandma and Grandad.
Mummy: You have no idea.
Even Bruiser seems to be annoyed with me- probably because his diet of pine needles and apricots has come to an end.
Thankfully we had some distractions over the weekend, but today I was on my own, the first time in over three weeks. I had completely forgotten what it's like to try and keep my children entertained for an entire day.
We were up and dressed by 7am and playing Peter Pan by 7.30am.
Diva/Peter Pan: Fly with me Wendy! let's go get Cap'n 'Ook.
Mummy/Wendy: Okay, Peter, but I don't know how to fly.
Diva/Peter Pan: I will throw some Fairy stuff on you.
Mummy/Wendy: I can fly!
Diva/Peter Pan: Not too loud, you'll wake the Pirates. Let's go on the Pirate Ship. Uncle M can be Smee. Look we are on the Pirate Ship. Don't touch anything or you will make the pirates cross.
Mummy/Wendy: Okay. Can we see some mermaids now?
Diva/Peter Pan: Yes, but they might pull you in the water so only talk to the nice ones. Here, they are next to the roller bears.
Mummy/Wendy: The roller bears?
Diva/Peter Pan: There they are in the water on their roller skates.
This game has continued ALL DAY. We went out on a long walk during which I had to swap between being Wendy and Cap'n 'Ook. Several other members of the general public were randomly assigned pirate names and then were unknowingly made to walk the plank or chased back to their pirate ship. Bruiser had the pleasure of being Michael most of the day and I am genuinely convinced he now thinks this is his name.
We have been to a playground, done some colouring, played in the garden, hung out washing, made food together, watched TV, read some stories, walked for two miles and put all the toys to bed one at a time. It's only day one! There is an entire summer ahead of us that I am going to need to fill. I clearly need to raise my game.
Who wants to help me make a pirate ship?
Bruiser is a cruiser! The name, Bruised, may now be more appropriate.
He's been pulling himself up on the sofa for a few weeks, but has decided to further advance his skills by pulling himself up on everything; trying to support himself with one hand whilst reaching for something he shouldn't eat; shuffling sideways in order to reach something he really shouldn't touch (often electrical); and occasionally balancing just enough to stand unsupported for three seconds at a time.
This is all wonderful, but exhausting.
Unfortunately Bruiser has chosen to make these advancements whilst visiting the south of France- a place not known for it's cushioned floors. Making your first attempts at standing and walking in a land full of rocks and tiled flooring is never going to end well.
Thankfully we have a cushioned playpen that he will at least tolerate for a few minutes. Diva calls it the dunge(r)on. She regularly helps him inside and shuts the door- such a kind big sister.
Cruising is not Bruiser's only new skill. I think there must be something about babies being out of their normal environment that results in them suddenly developing new skills. When Diva was a baby she was exactly the same. This week Bruiser has learnt to say, 'ta (thank you)', whenever you hand him something, or he hands something to you. He regularly claps with great enthusiasm, and is especially pleased when this elicits a round of applause from everyone else. He also randomly waves his arms and squeals like a teenage girl meeting her friends in a shopping mall (I'm hoping he hasn't learnt that one from me).
I've always loved the beach. I especially love swimming in a warm sea and building sandcastles. Diva also loves these things. She equally likes getting to eat ice-cream as it rapidly melts over her face and hands.
Bruiser loves kicking his feet in the sand and filling his chubby fists with sticky, wet sand. He also likes ramming big fistfuls of sand in to his mouth before anyone can stop him.
I do not like changing nappies full of sandy poos.
If ever you find yourselves in Provence with children under the age of ten, or you just fancy going somewhere fabulously bizarre, take yourselves to Le Village des Automates. Here you will find an entire park of moving characters, dancing to an eclectic mix of music, alongside a superb array of adventure playground equipment.
The playground equipment really is in very good condition and includes zip wires, climbing frames, slides, tunnels, ball pit etc. There is also a lovely shaded cafe next to a child sized train that can be ridden for 1 euro. Everything else in the park is deliciously run down with some of the older exhibits housing puppets whose hands now lie decaying on the floor. Much like The Small World Ride in Disney, there are also some fantastic displays of racial stereotyping. All you need do is press a button to watch racially inappropriate puppets dance to strange songs that explain stories about pandas that eat too much bamboo…or something…my French isn't great. Also, like Disney, there are some interesting liberties taken with traditional stories. Gulliver lounges in the forest whilst being fed by the seven dwarves and Pinocchio meets some unusual characters including a couple of people with dog faces… or maybe they were dogs with human hands…
There were also a couple of displays that I doubt Disney, even on his darkest day, would have thought to include in a Small World. My favourite was a set of elves/gnomes extracting another elf/gnome's tooth with a piece of string. They all look very happy about the whole thing, even though they are stood next to a bucket of cotton wool stained with, what I hope is, fake blood. If that isn't enough, there's also an equally jolly set of elves/gnomes elbow deep in a surgical procedure.
I am not telling you any of this to put you off- far from it! I think this place is perfect for the whole family. Diva and Bruiser absolutely loved it! Bruiser's favourite was a large furry dragon in Santa's castle (you remember Santa's castle right? It's next to a four legged ant riding the Loch Ness Monster) and Diva pretty much loved it all. She travelled around the park in a Little Tikes car in which the owners had considerately added a floor for her feet and a handle for Grandad and Daddy to push with. She got to eat ice cream and run in a motion activated fountain. My Diva daughter, who regularly declares, "I can't", whenever she is faced with any kind of climbing (including stairs), climbed ropes, whizzed around on zip wires and scrambled through tunnels. The adults got to laugh, a lot, eat ice cream and enjoy the enjoyment of the children.
Diva has thanked me for her "adventure" every day and can not wait to go back. For those of you still not sure, look what you could be missing…

Here are my current Top 5 must haves that see me through my working day...
There's only one right way to start the working day in my book, and that's with a steaming mug of tea. I take this in the car with me for my 45 minute/1 hour commute every morning. It has it all: pink, bunnies, cherry blossom and no spills or loss of heat. Wouldn't drink my morning brew from anything else! Sadly, I haven't been able to find this same design available to purchase online (odd, since I only bought it in store in London last month), but the Parisian brand Pylones do make their fabulous 'Star Mug' in other designs, this magnolia beauty is a pretty alternative.
Speaking of my commute, this is the best pop album I have bought in a very long while and I am loving turning the volume up on it in the car as my wake up call. If you grew up on a musical diet of Spice Girls, All Saints and Destiny's Child (amongst way cooler, more obscure bands, obviously), this latest offering from Little Mix, Salute, will not disappoint, with its strong vocals and tight harmonies. Check out track no. 9 for a nostalgic The Writing's On The Wall vibe...
More pink! Carry your iPad/books/papers in style with this fab pink leather satchel from Bohemia. They have since updated their satchel designs, but I think I prefer this one. I found this model still available to purchase here. I was a very lucky girl to receive it from Hubby for my birthday n August last year and still get lots of compliments on it.
My in-laws really spoiled me at Christmas this year and bought me this Parker Sonnet fountain pen, amongst other things, from my Amazon Wish List. It writes beautifully and makes writing anything from a mundane note to a birthday card all the more fun. I also enjoy feeling terribly grown-up and sophisticated writing with such an elegant pen.
My lips have been intermittently dry during all the wet and windy weather of late, and this amazing Sweet Mint lip balm from Eos has been a real gem. If you can overlook its somewhat phallic appearance (and the consequent manner in which one applies it), you will be rewarded with a 100% natural, 95% organic, really reliable lip balm that moisturises for hours without being too greasy or shiny, or leaving that horrid white scum on the inside edge of your lips. Available here.
I'd love to hear about the things you can't live without for work/school!

The positive effects of outdoor fire pits
Outdoor fire pits allow unlimited options that the traditional bonfire never saw coming. Outdoor fire pits decorate, entertain, excite, and transform your landscape.
Affordable, Endless Options
There's not just one kind of outdoor fire pit. No matter what your style, options abound. Choose from natural gas, propane, wood burning, ethanol-fueled, and even custom designs to make your pit the perfect fit.
Natural Gas
The ultimate in convenience, natural gas fire pits never run out of fuel. Running off of a natural gas line, these impressively designed masterpieces become your landscape's focal point and provide an ambiance that will instantly impress visitors.
Another convenient option, these fire pits run off of liquid propane tanks, allowing a quality flame without the wood. Beautifully designed, they are affordable, safe, and provide a bonfire's benefits without the hassle.
If you enjoy collecting real wood, try a wood-burning fire pit. Designed for cooking, it's like having your own private campfire, including the natural pleasures of wood and smoke.
Easy to install and maintain, ethanol-fueled fire pits provide instant ambiance with a simple lighter flick, which means no mess, no smoke, and no odor. Safe and effective, the regulated flame can be easily extinguished.
Going Green
Nowadays, caring for our planet is becoming increasingly important. Outdoor fire pits are one way to save our planet's precious resources. It's a great place to burn excess brush, weeds, and wood without cutting down excess trees, keeping our planet healthy while providing a beautiful backdrop for your own outdoors.
Enjoying the Outdoors
You can cook a hot dog on the grill...or you can roast it over your own outdoor fire pit. Craving an exciting experience that brings everyone back to nature? As the weather gets cooler, warm up and break out the blankets while you devour classic roasted specialties like kabobs and s'mores. Enjoy a camping-style adventure at home.
Family Fun
Gather around the fire for some family bonding. With an outdoor fire pit, it's easy to warm up and roast marshmallows in the comfort of your own backyard. A simple BBQ not only saves money, but it's also an excellent opportunity to unite for an evening of family fun. Have an intimate evening with family or your significant other, all in the comfort of your own backyard.
Entertaining Guests
Extend entertaining outdoors and surprise guests with a landscape piece with a purpose. Gather around the fire for a night of old-fashioned fun in a welcoming atmosphere built for entertaining. Whether it's hosting a BBQ or relaxing with s'mores, warm up and create an ambiance that only you can provide.
Transform Your Backyard Into a Masterpiece
Outdoor fire pits transform your backyard into an original masterpiece. No matter the style or theme, your dream backyard is a step away. Place your fire pit on the patio, in the yard, the garden, or use it as a stand-alone landscaping piece. Boost your home's appeal and stand out.

Great Scott! It might have taken Nike 26 years to perfect the power lace technology shown in Back to the Future II in order to release working self-tying Nike Air Max boots, but it's taken a mere fraction of that time for fakers to replicate the system.
In fact, the official sneakers won't even be available on a wider release until next spring (as part of an auction) but should you be interested in knock-offs, it seems you can get your hands on them now.
Unauthorised versions are hitting the market, with Instagram user fake_education posting a small clip of the power laces working on a hooky Nike Air Max he discovered.
What's quite remarkable is that the power laces actually work quite well on the fake boot. The poster's clip doesn't show the overall design though, so that might be a less impressive.
As the real shoes are expected to change hands for thousands rather than hundreds of pounds or dollars, this is a timely reminder to be careful when purchasing a pair from anyone other than authorised sellers. Ebay, for example, could be rife with fake versions, even from those who claim to have acquired them in the official auction. Always demand proof before shelling out.
That said, if the fakers can get the power laces working, how long before we see them on other, far less expensive footwear? We cannot wait.
