The Toyota Dyna is a forward-control vehicle that provides a lengthy load space in portable measurements that's ideal fit to short-distance job
2017 Toyota Dina Review
The existing Dyna go back to 2001 and also complies with the Japanese light-truck formula of a forward-control taxi, with chauffeur as well as travelers resting over the front axle. This provides the capacity for a reasonably lengthy load location compared to the general size of the truck, making it an appealing design for building contractors as well as landscape garden enthusiasts running in metropolitan locations, where garage are limited. The Dyna is offered as a framework taxicab, offering purchasers the choice to fit bodywork of their option. Toyota additionally offers ready-bodied dropside and also tipper models. The Dyna is readily available in 300 (3,000 kg gross weight) as well as 350 (3,500 kg GVW) models, offering 3 various sizes. 300 models are just supplied with a brief wheelbase as well as a selection of chassis-cab, dropside as well as rear-tipper bodies. The exact same alternatives are duplicated for the 350 medium-wheelbase version, other than that the tipper body will certainly tip to either side in addition to the back. The long-wheelbase design is provided as a framework taxicab or with dropside body. All models are powered by the exact same 3.0-litre diesel motor, creating 144bhp.
MPG as well as Running Prices
The Dyna's engine is a less-powerful variation of the four-cylinder 3.0-litre diesel motor that powers the Land Cruiser. The Dyna does not offer itself to great the rules of aerodynamics, with a big front location and also open bodywork. However, the consolidated gas intake number varies in between 28.2 mpg as well as 32.5 mpg, with equal CO2 exhausts of 229g/km to 263g/km. Under the conditions, that's excusable. Comparable numbers are not offered for the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter or Nissan Cabstar, Isuzu Grafter, all models sharing the forward-control design, yet identified as light vehicles, for which released gas intake and also discharges information is not yet needed.
Load Space and also Practicality
The Dyna provides a large amount of versatility in regards to load space. Toyota has one of the most prominent body choices covered in the form of the dropside as well as tipper bodies, provided from the manufacturing facility. These are light-weight aluminium bodies, sourced from Scattolini and also fitted at the Toyota manufacturing facility. The dropside body is readily available for all 3 Dyna wheelbase sizes, while the short-wheelbase version is offered with the rear-tipping body and also the medium-wheelbase framework with the three-way tipper. The dropside body provides load sizes as much as 4,460 mm for the LWB version, and also the tipper as much as 3,150 mm. For those desiring various bodywork, perhaps for carrying cars and trucks or equipment, Toyota dealerships need to have the ability to assist discover a suitable body builder. This would certainly probably be the best path to guarantee that the bodywork adheres to the demands of European whole-vehicle-type authorization, which entered into pressure for cars of this weight a couple of months earlier. The framework rails are 800mm apart and also go across participants do not extend over the side participants to assist with body suitable. The haul allocation for the 350 MWB dropside is pretty good for a 3,500kg-GVW automobile at 1,525 kg. The 350 LWB-chassis taxi has a haul allocation of 1,790 kg, yet purchasers would certainly need to consider the weight of the bodywork fitted, which would most likely bring haul to around 1,500 kg, relying on the bodywork called for. Nissan provides the Cabstar at greater gross weights, approximately 4,500 kg GVW, yet motorists that acquired their complete permit after 1 January 1997 will not have the ability to own these models without an HGV permit.
Integrity as well as Safety and security
The cabin has seats for 3, however the centre seat is just outfitted with a lap belt. It's a Toyota and also has a tried-and-tested diesel motor. It has an excellent credibility for dependability and also tough building and construction.
Read Additionally :
Owning and also Efficiency
This is most likely the Dyna's weakest location. Set down in addition to the front axle, the vehicle driver really feels every activity of the suspension and also could eagerly anticipate a bouncy trip. Compared to a semi-forward-control van-- currently the traditional design for a lot of vans-- it does not use the improvements of trip and also taking care of that the majority of vehicle drivers have actually pertained to anticipate. The diesel motor provides excellent torque outcome at 300Nm, throughout a wide spread from 1,200 rpm to 3,200 rpm, so there's lots of pluck reduced rates. As we recommended, it's finest matched to neighborhood operating. Vehicle drivers have to obtain made use of to transformeding into edges a little bit behind normal due to the sitting setting.
Taxicab as well as Inside
On the bonus side, the cabin design provides a reasonably high seatsing setting as well as, with lots of glass in the taxi and also no hood, the motorist has a great overall sight. The bouncy flight does not include to the convenience for either motorist or guests. The taxicab design restrictions indoor space as well as with it, storage space. There are above trays, a glovebox, door pockets as well as mug owners, yet there's no space under the seats for storage space. The owning placement really feels noticeably antique, with an extra straight wheel compared to in a lot of vans, and also the guiding column in between your knees.

Layout Affects Shopping
We often don't look around our grocery store. We shop, but don't necessarily see how the layout affects our choices. Tim Warrington wanted to see how different grocery stores affect shoppers. He found big differences in layout, aisle size, kinds of products and number of brands that various stores carry. He liked the informal way that the Farmer's Market displayed fruits and vegetables, as well as the large variety. "There were vegetables and fruits I had never seen before, but that made me want to try some of them." He also liked the fish market, which let him use a plastic bag to select his fish rather than having it selected by the counter personnel.
He looked at a store that focuses on fresh and organic and liked their bakery. He felt that the more stylized produce displays left him feeling that the store was too interested in displays, and not enough in varieties. He also noted that the fruits were less blemished, which he thought was likely what the shoppers expected. He liked the large display on a salad bar, but was unable to shoot there as store personnel asked him to put his camera away.
He also went to a store that specialized in their own brands, and was intrigued by things like Mahi-Mahi burgers which were displayed more prominently than the frozen fish at other stores. He noticed that the narrow aisles tended to get people talking to each other, comparing products as they shopped or waited in line to check out.
All in all, he enjoyed the trip and came away thinking that he really hadn't thought much about how different grocery stores can be. "I realized why some people go here for some things and there for others."

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." – Arthur C. Clarke
Apple has a knack for making technology that, to paraphrase Arthur C. Clarke, feels a bit magical. It turns out that's the sort of technology people strongly prefer to use. As a result, Apple has built a loyal consumer following, suggesting that commitment to a delightful technology experience is simply good business. Professionals in all industries have taken note of Apple's success, and clinical research professionals are no exception.
I and others working in clinical innovation have looked to Apple for inspiration on how we might use technology to improve the patient experience. How can we make research participation more delightful and less frustrating? How can we distill a very complex process into an experience that feels very simple for research participants? How can we make clinical research more…Apple-like? Now we won't have to look much further for potential answers. Apple itself is seeking to answer these questions.
Apple recently announced ResearchKit, creating waves far beyond the clinical research community. ResearchKit is an open-source framework that provides researchers and application developers with a platform to build mobile study apps. Apple's announcement was accompanied by the release of five ResearchKit-built apps. Because the ResearchKit framework integrates multiple capabilities into one platform, researchers have a single destination to conduct research. And patients have a single destination to participate in research, simply by downloading any chosen study app onto their mobile device.

the world's smartest travel social network
For a hundred bucks, you can go to dinner at a decent restaurant, purchase a DVD box set, or—if you're flying Spirit—tote a bag onto a plane.
Effective November 6, fee-sucking Spirit will charge $100 for carry-on bags paid for at the gate. It's an increase of 122 percent over the current price of $45. If you reserve your carry-on privileges ahead of time online, it'll cost you $35 bucks as of November 6. (Current price is $30.) And if you pay for your carry-on bag at the airport counter, you'll be charged $50. (Up from the current price of $40).
All Spirit flyers may bring a single personal item that can fit under the seat in front of you for free. This would include something like a purse or laptop computer. How generous.
Passengers can avoid the fee by reserving a carry-on bag ahead of time or by checking a bag. But Spirit is also upping other rates on its ridiculous miles-long fee menu, including some charges for those checked bags. First checked bags currently cost $23 for domestic flights and $28 for international flights. Come November 6, Spirit will impose a flat $25 fee for first checked bags on both domestic and international flights.
The easily avoided $100 carry-on charge is probably not going to become a major source of revenue for Spirit. So what's the big idea? We contacted the airline for an explanation. A spokesperson from Spirit told us, "We don't want any of our customers to wait until they get to the boarding gate to pay for their carry-on bags as this delays the boarding process for everyone. We expect that our new $100 fee charged for those who wait until they get to the gate will ensure that customers purchase their bags before arriving at the gate."
The spokesperson also said that the fee changes have "simplified" the airline's pricing structure by matching domestic and international bag charges. Some international bag fees have, in fact, dropped, such as the aforementioned cost for first checked bags on international flights.
Still, charging $100 for a carry-on bag is brazen. This looks like it could be one more grubby publicity grab by Spirit, which appears to believe that anything short of a disastrous corporate sex scandal is good marketing. (Let's not give them any ideas.) For evidence, see Spirit's campaign against passenger protections enacted by the government, as well as its objectionable advertising.
Spirit was also the first airline to charge for carry-on bags. They're shameless industry trendsetters—in the worst way.
What do you think about Spirit's new fee?

About the Founder
Advice for the Advice Industry
When I was a student, I advised teams of engineers distributed between the United States and Mexico on trans-cultural communication. Since then, I've provided guidance to consultants, lawyers, engineers, marketers, advertisers, trainers, and communicators in how to build a business based on their expertise and scale it up.
Most people enter the professions because they love the work, not because they want to run the business. At the same time, all of these "advice" businesses are going through a period of intense change. I help leaders in these industries to grow and scale their firms by focusing on the factors that endure throughout the most turbulent times: engaging great people in great processes to deliver value through great client relationships.
Dworin Consulting started for the first time 15 years ago as what we'd now call a digital agency. In between then and its current incarnation, I led a multi-million dollar consulting engagements for a leading measurement and analytics firm, implemented a global change program that trained hundreds of people how to think like a consultant, and led strategic central functions for a rapidly-growing communications insights agency.
I also earned bachelors' degrees in Political Science and International Studies from Michigan State University and a Masters Degree in Information Economics, a boutique area of economics directly applicable to 'advice' businesses', from the University of Michigan.
I want to help you grow and scale your business, find your passion in the value you create for your clients, and achieve your goals. That can mean anything from occasional coaching calls to a more complex organizational transformation. The important thing to me is that we help you to put the systems in place so you can be successful, and in turn, make your clients successful.

How To Get All The Money You Want
Bold words I know. My guess is you are probably rolling your eyes right now. Your probably thinking you heard it all before right? I know how you feel because I remember struggling for money myself.
Sadly I can remember living out of a penny jar. I hated having to live out of that jar. I hated having to struggle this way. I remember thinking to myself I would do anything to stop being broke.

We've all had that thought while playing with origami: "If this paper swan were bigger, I would live in it." Okay, so maybe not all of us have had that thought, but it certainly crossed the minds of the architects at Make, in London, who recently designed these crazy folding kiosks.
Each kiosk is essentially a lightweight aluminum shell, inspired by the Japanese art of paper-folding. As such, the door on the front opens and closes like a paper fan, even providing a canopy to keep kiosk visitors out of the rain. "Origami was fundamental in developing the design; the idea of a folding fan informed the design and folded paper models were used throughout the process, right up to the final testing of the completed design," the project's architect Sean Affleck recently told Dezeen.
Two of these neat kiosks are already being used in London's Canary Wharf, and more are on the way. Now if they could just go ahead and build a house-sized versions, dreams would come true. [Dezeen]

Perfection Enhanced can help create a youthful lift to the brow area that helps emphasize your eyes. If you have little or no eyebrow hair, or would like to perfect the shape of your eyebrows, then this is the technique for you. We pay close attention to detail ensuring your face shape and skin tones are taken into consideration to maintain a natural look.
Feathered and Powdered TechniquesThere are two main techniques which can be used to contour the brows. We will be on hand throughout the consultation process to discuss these options and advise you on the most appropriate method to achieve your desired look.
The most natural finish is often achieved through creation of individual ultra-fine hair strokes which are feathered through the brow to look like your own natural hairs. This technique can be used to transform a brow where the hair is completely missing as well as volumising sparse brows whilst still allowing the brows own texture to shimmer through.
Alternatively if you are looking for a slightly sharper, sleeker finish similar to that of brow pencils or powders, a soft veil of colour can be misted over the brow to add shape and definition. This method is used to create a bold yet beautiful brow.
Permanent eyeliner can range from a subtle fine liner to a ultra thick liner. By emphasizing your eye colour and making your eye lashes appear thicker, your eyes will appear larger and more defined.
This is suitable for people who suffer from allergies either to pollen or to traditional make up and those who are sensitive to wearing contact lenses.
The great news is the savings from not having to continuously pay for eye make-up. It will also put an end to all those smudges or smears whether you are surviving rain, sweat, humidity or tears.

Globalstar, Inc., a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services, has announced its partnership with Nokia. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) sweeping steadily across the African continent highlights the increasing need for solutions that are tailored for, and compatible with, the digital transformation journey of enterprises across many vertical domains. The need for high capacity, low latency and secure connectivity that is easy to deploy in multiple sites, and often across national borders, poses a real challenge. One of the key enablers is spectrum for local deployments combined with an appropriate automation platform.
Globalstar and Nokia have developed an innovative solution, which allows enterprises to deploy intelligent network applications in a dedicated spectrum band. It is based on Nokia's industrial-grade private wireless Digital Automation Cloud platform together with Globalstar's 3GPP Band 53 spectrum. The solution will be showcased at the Globalstar stand at AfricaCom, at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on 12 – 14 November 2019.
"Providing private LTE/4.9G solutions to organisations and countries require spectrum, and this is where we come in," says Barbee Ponder, Globalstar general counsel and vice president of Regulatory Affairs. "We have globally-harmonised spectrum that we utilise for our Mobile Satellite Services (MSS), and we are currently obtaining administration-specific authorisations globally to provide terrestrial LTE services in this band – which happens to be a perfect fit for Nokia's private LTE/4.9G offering."
Both companies successfully collaborated on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) process to standardise this specific band of spectrum, which has been designated as Band 53. Their strategic alliance further expands the opportunities for both Globalstar and Nokia in terms of development, innovation and application across countries, industries, and use cases. Nokia is already offering Band 53 access points and User End Devices (UED's) such as modems, ruggedised handsets and tablets.
In its bid to develop a harmonised utilisation of Band 53 for terrestrial private LTE/4.9G deployments across the African continent, Globalstar has secured rights from the authorities in South Africa, Mozambique, Gabon, Botswana, and Rwanda.
"In Africa alone, our terrestrial authorisations span more than 1.1 million square miles of territory, covering a population larger than 100 million people," said Ponder. "We have obtained terrestrial LTE authority over our entire 16.5 MHz of S-band spectrum with permissible power limits for both macro and small cell deployments."
The Globalstar MSS solutions provide complementary connectivity to end-user assets and employees when outside of the Nokia Digital Automation Cloud network in remote areas, such as mining installations, or oil, gas, and energy sites. This ideal 4IR/IoT partnership allows both companies to introduce powerful digitalisation solutions to the African market, that can be adapted for use across multiple industries. Band 53 enables the deployment of comprehensive solutions that can cover all operational requirements regardless of location.
"We are delighted to collaborate with Globalstar in order to support the digitalisation of business in Africa, helping them connect more things than ever before, such as sensors, cameras, drones, tablets, and phones, and apply real-time analytics to their data. High capacity data transfer and on-premise computing capabilities ensure efficient and secure digital automation, for large and small enterprises, indoors and outdoors, and in both urban and remote areas," said Shkumbin Hamiti, Head of Ecosystem and Partnerships, Nokia Digital Automation.
As the partnership evolves, Globalstar and Nokia anticipate the expansion of their commercial relationship to create new opportunities for business. As they continue to pursue harmonisation in Band 53, customers will be able to deploy a device ecosystem that operates seamlessly across locations, which will redefine the communications landscape for 4IR.
"Now that Nokia has become an authorized value-added reseller (VAR), they will be able to tailor solutions for individual customers and provide critical connectivity for assets and people when operating also outside of the secure private wireless coverage provided by Nokia," said Ponder.

After almost three years of chasing our tails. It appears that we are going to finally have a NEW website. Many thanks to Keith Braun for not giving-up and helping us find someone who can put us back on the web. It is our desire to have the initial pages up and in place by early August, we will notify everyone once it is up and running. We are going to start slow with the basics and continue adding until we have a website that you, the members, can feel at ease directing a potential new member to, knowing they will find all the latest information about FFFA , FINALLY It was also great to see our family and friends in the great states of VA and WVA, especially our new great-granddaughter. What a little package of love and dynamite. As always, it was great to get back home, but unfortunately it has either been too hot and rainy or I have been in a Doctor's waiting room. As I heard last night, we all know we are going to get older, we just didn't know it was going to be this soon.
I have a couple of club related events that I would like to share and hope that everyone comes out and supports our club events. First one is the Family Picnic, July 29th at Burton Park on RTE 520 just east of Lone Cabbage Fish Camp. We will be passing around a potential attendee list along with your side dish the July 24th General Member-ship Meeting, We need to have an idea of how many burgers and dogs we need to purchase, so if you can't make the meeting and would like to come, please send myself or Keith Braun a short e-mail to let us know. Secondly, we are having two special General Membership meetings this year, October 23rd we are doing the FFFA Hot-Spots again and this is an oppor-tunity to find new fishing spots and on November 27th, we are having the elec-tion of the 2019 Board of Directors along side our Silent Auction. Joe Sherer has accumulated a lot of special Fly Fishing Equipment and I heard we will also be auctioning off a fishing trip with one of our local guides. I might also add there will probably be some items that have a minimum bid due to their actual value, more on this later.
The third item of great interest is our Holiday Party for 2018. It will be held on December 8th 6:00 – 10:00 PM at the same place as last year, Viera East Res-idents Club in Rockledge. A flyer with additional information, including direc-tions will be attached to the Rag. Hopefully you will be able to call it up on the new website calendar before then. There will be a raffle, same as past years, we just haven't decided what it will be yet. Tickets will $5 each or 5 tickets for $20, and as in past years, we will have some great raffle prizes available.
Just got word that our new website baseline has been put on the internet. Right now it is "bare bones" but Keith is working to add additional information and expand it's efficiency at giving FFFA more exposure to potential new members. Got something you would like to have put on the website, sent it to Keith as he will be our Web Master for the moment. We will give him some help as it picks-up steam.

Our Full-Day Camp Themes
Using LEGO® bricks, kids build a different engineering-themed project in each class. They explore different engineering fields, including mechanical, structural, aerospace, nautical, and bioengineering. They use critical thinking, and creative problem-solving to test and improve their creations.
Children overcome a series of challenges using basic materials, simple machines, tips from famous inventors, and most importantly, their minds. With a bit of ingenuity, they create catapults and forts, construct working light sticks, and assemble a set of circuits with batteries and light bulbs.
Secret Agent Lab
This program features fun-filled, hands-on, secret agent-themed science activities that allow kids to play detective, explore forensic science, sharpen their surveillance skills, and crack encrypted messages. Kids become super sleuths!
Claws, Codes & Constellations
Children discover how to send secret messages to their friends using special codes, explore how Newton's laws are at work in their favorite sports, and become young astronauts while exploring the mysteries of the solar system.
Chemicals, Cells & Crime
Children explore the inside of the body and learn about the organ systems and the cells that it's composed of. They discover cool chemical reactions, and how to solve a crime, in this hands-on summer science adventure!
Red Hot Robots
Children learn about the uses of robots in our world and spend time experimenting with super cool red-hot robots. They discover the science of circuits and how robots use sensors to explore things around them. They build their very own working robot to take home with them!
3,2,1.... Blast Off!
This program focuses on rockets and the physics of rocket flight. After learning the model rocket safety code, campers build ten different types of rockets and participate in the launching of 6 different rockets.
Rockin' Rockets & Aerodynamics
From the earliest flying machines to the first rocket flights, this hands-on program for children (ages 7-12) will allow them to build many different flying devices, see how Newton's laws of motion help explain how things move and how rockets fly, and show them how amazing our Milky Way is.

This post is going to layout the direction I am taking the PageObject gem. But first, a little history is in order.
When I first created the PageObject gem there was a significant difference between the Watir and Selenium gems. The PageObject gem started as a high-level wrapper around over these two gems. Over the years the difference between those gems have become distinct and now Watir is a very nice layer over Selenium.
Because of this I have decided to fundamentally change the PageObject gem. With todays' release (2.1) I have removed the selenium platform. You can still pass a Selenium driver to the gem but it will simply be wrapped by Watir. On the API level, you will not see any differences but you might have to make some simple changes to your calls to RSpec matchers if you used the predicate matchers.
So what is different?
In addition to providing all of the high-level capabilities that have always existed in PageObject, version 2.1 is an abstraction over Watir only. One significant difference is that the gem is no longer using delegation. Delegation caused me to have to add new methods to PageObject every time Watir added a new capability. This meant that at times there was capability that existed in Watir that was not available in PageObject. With this release the gem will forward method invocations to the watir natives without displaying the deprecation warning. This means that as soon as something new is added to Watir it is immediately available to PageObject.
Will I need to change any code?
You might have to make a change to some of your expectations. If you use the RSpec predicate matchers then you should be aware that it will check to see if the method is available before calling it and if it doesn't exist it will throw an error. So if you have had code like this:
expect(my_element).to be_visible
then RSpec will check to see if the visible? method exists. In the new version of PageObject it doesn't exist. This call is intercepted and sent to Watir. This means you will get an error. You can simply change the exception to this:
expect(my_element.visible?).to be(true), "expected my_element to be visible"
and everything should be fine. Notice that I provided the additional parameter to make the message meaningful in the case of a failure.
So what is the path forward?
Version 2.2 will be released in a week or two and it will remove the way that the gem is injecting the Watir platform and further simplify the code. A week or two after that I will release 2.3 which will remove the final pieces of this larger refactoring – the parts that build out custom path.
From that point further the gem will continue to focus on providing high-level functionality that will make testing easier. I will also be focusing on addressing other issues we run into when writing tests – namely things like test data management, service virtualization, test configuration, etc. I hope to continue to build out a full suite of tools that make writing test automation a joy.

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to make my own invitations myself. I planned to letterpress them, and figured I'd save myself some money. Turns out I was wrong.
Here's the list of items I bought to D-I-Myself…
Crane Crest Pearl White envelopes = $49 (with shipping)
Crane 4-Bar envelope = $36 (with shipping)
Crane Lettra paper 20 23×30″ sheets = $90 (with shipping)
custom embosser from Etsy = $120
custom stamper from Etsy = $28
letterpress studio/guidance = $180
paper for lining envelopes = $25
paper for belly bands = $12
bakers twine to wrap envelopes = $18
adhesives, cutting tools, etc = $12
FedEx Office/Kinkos printing of ceremony cards = $32
custom letterpress plate from Boxcar Press = $48 (not even counting the 2 previous plates on which I ordered, then we changed details and had to re-order).
After all these expenses, I lost steam on this project twice. I'm finally mailing them today.
My lesson-to-self, Just because you want to do it and think you can do it, sometimes it's better to leave it to the pros. I did get some help from a fabulous letterpress shop (Dick & Jane Letterpress) that let me help print, without putting all the stress on me to do it right.
Lesson-to-self #2: stretching the cost out over a longer period of time can make it difficult to keep the expenses in check.
Has anyone else done a DIY that ended up costing more than getting it done by a professional?

Accelerated Orthodontics
Have you ever wished that you can make your smile look perfect with just a snap of the finger? Introducing Photoshop… just kidding.
For years, orthodontists have been researching ways to increase the rate of tooth movement. The early efforts involve gum and bone surgeries that were both costly and invasive. Fortunately, the researchers did not give up there. They have found ways to fast track your braces and Invisalign treatment without the surgeries, and we are proud to offer these latest technologies for you at PacificWest Dental Group.
Propel Excellerator Micro Osteoperforation
Tooth movement occurs when the bone ahead of the tooth is removed from its path. Therefore, the rate of tooth movement is limited by how fast the body can remodel the bone around the tooth.
Propel Excellerator is an adjunctive treatment that creates micro-osteoperforations in the bone surrounding the tooth and increases blood supply to the region. This process stimulates bone to remodel faster, hence "Excellerate" your tooth movement.
It is clinically proven to be safe and effective* for faster results, without added discomfort or inconvenience.** You can receive Propel treatment during your regular office visit, and it can be used with any type of orthodontic appliance, braces or aligners.
Because it can be administered locally at a specific location, it can also be used at strategic position to achieve movements that would otherwise be difficult or nearly impossible! See for yourself by checking out the following cases in our gallery.
*John M. Pobanz, (2014). Orthodontic Acceleration. The Progressive Orthodontist. July 2014; Q3
** Mani Alikhani, Markos Raptis, Billie Zoldan, Chinapa Sangsuwon, Yoo B. Lee, Bandar Alyami, Corey Corpodian, Luz M. Berrera, Sarah Alansari, Edmund Khoo, Cristina Teixeira. Effect of micro-osteoperforations on the rate of tooth movement: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Volume 144, Issue 5, 639-648
Propel VPro5 is a small, hands-free, wireless device that produces gentle, micro-vibrations to stimulate and accelerate tooth movement. It is a single device used in combination with your regular orthodontic treatment, such as Invisalign or braces. It is used throughout the whole course of the orthodontic treatment, from start to finish to retention.
Propel VPro5 uses micro-vibrations to increase blood flow to the bone surrounding the tooth and achieve faster bone remodeling. It requires only 5 minutes per day of wear, and delivers these major clinical benefits:
- Accelerated tooth movement
- More efficient aligner placement
- Relieves orthodontic pain
- Better retention of tooth's bone structure
Am I a candidate for accelerated orthodontic treatment?
Propel Excellerator and VPro 5 work for a variety of cases and is compatible with both braces and Invisalign. It is safe for patients of all ages. It is available only by prescription, and the orthodontists at PacificWest Dental have the experience and expertise to determine which option is best for your specific case.
Book a consultation with us and find out more about accelerated orthodontics. Your first consultation is complimentary!

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." -- Ben Franklin
NOTE: the validity of these facts are up for question. the main purpose of this post is to provide a summarized written version of the movie for those that haven't seen it. apologies if my writing and facts to the movie are not clear or totally accurate.
the existence of ancient beer
writing was created for recording such commodities as beer. beer was consumed in great quantities while the building of the pyramids. it was a common drink back then. it was drunk so much that it was even found within the bones of egyptians. beer to the egyptian pharoahs was expected to be drunk in the afterlife. thats how important it was to them.
ancient beer beat modern medicine by 3000 years in unknowingly using antibiotics. it was found that the ingredients used to make beer has antibiotics in it. beer saved millions of lives in medieval europe by eliminating bacteria because the water became undrinkable. more beer was drunk back then than any drink in our modern era so in essence beer used to be todays soft drinks but more nutritious filled with vitamins and nutrients so that even children were allowed to drink it! monks were prominent brewers during medieval time and because of this the church grew very wealthy. people would come to church just because of the beer given afterwards!
beer is a saving commodity
beer was one of the greatest commodities which helped create the modern world, namely capitalism. the voyage over to discover america or any sea adventure for that matter was not possible without the usage of beer because all of the water would spoil on the way over so therefore they would have nothing to hydrate themselves. the alcohol and hops in beer is what made the water once fermented suitable to drink. without beer the voyager would not have made it across the seas to 'discover' america.
beer inspired the american revolution:
most of the founders of our country were brewers of beer. taverns, where beer was sold was the main communication hub for people. this was similar to our modern social mediums of today such as google, myspace, twitter and facebook of which valuable information is shared. they didn't have the internet back then. everything was spread by word of mouth. again taverns in particular were where revolutionary ideas and plans were discussed towards the development of the american revolution. even 'the national anthem was borrowed from a 18th century drinking song'. the song was used as a sobriety test. if you could complete the song you were ready for another round of beer. thus its not too far fetched to say that 'beer helped found america' when the star spangled banner our own national anthem was originally a beer based drinking song. in essence america wouldn't be here without beer.
beer created the basis of modern medicine:
in the 1850's chemist loius pasteur was known for studying pasteurization of which most people think is related to milk but his area of focus was in fact beer. 'beer was the first beverage to be pasteurized.' in the process of this he wanted to see why beer sometimes spoiled. from this he found and discovered bacteria which was previously unknown to modern medicine. from this sprung 'germ theory' which was monumental in that it gave a reason why people got sick. it was no longer left up for chance, superstition or religion. this also spurred people to wash their hands more often. doctors started using common sense and began washed their hands in between surgeries. thus from this we can concur that beer and science go hand and hand.
beer created refrigeration:
in order to solve the dilemma of getting expensive and problematic ice from the glaciers to make colder beer which was amplified when the production of beer was slowed down during the spring because of the heat thus melting the ice, a artificial way of creating cold beer was made. so the brewers sought after the possibility and pushed for the making of refrigeration. with this new invention one of the greatest problems of mankind was solved: the storage of food. not only that but refrigeration meant air conditioning, the creation and preservation of medicine (pills), keeping organs alive during transplant surgery and the existence of ice cream.
originally factories were made for the production of beer not for cars. the production of beer in factories was in existence way before henry ford. 'it wasn't the car that put america on the road to economic power it was beer'. 'beer production revolutionized american industry'. the making of glass beer bottles ended child labor in america because of the automate machine invented by michael owens.
beer was so important to america that it was even modified in order to be drinkable in space for future galactic voyages to new 'americas' or lands to be discovered.
in essence from all this it is no doubt that beer changed the world to a large degree. if beer can have so much influence upon the world imagine what it does to you and what you can do to the world!

Training Doctors to Serve in Rural Settings
"As a rural doctor, you are tightly woven into a community, a situation which always presents its own joys and struggles."February 24, 2015
The Rural Community Health Program (R-CHP), led by Dr. Andrea Wendling, is the newest rural training track in MSU's College of Human Medicine (CHM). Together with Program the Rural Physician at the Upper Peninsula Regional Campus, students participating in R-CHP are eligible for the Leadership in Rural Medicine certificate.
The Traverse City R-CHP program includes three rural educational communities — Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Alpena. Pilot students from this campus have completed almost eight months of clinical training shared between Traverse City and their rural educational community. Students report that their clinical experiences have been exceptional and R-CHP students' clerkship performance (including testing and logged experiences) has been at or above the level of peers.
The Midland Regional campus R-CHP pilot program started with two students in January 2014. However, a subsequent grant of $378,000 from the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation has provided funding to support expansion of R-CHP at the Midland Regional campus. "The Dow Foundation grant is a tremendous benefit for our program in Midland," said Wendling. "We'll be able to bring in more students more quickly."
Wendling, who is a faculty member in the Department of Family Medicine in the College of Human Medicine, said there is a pressing need for physicians in rural communities. "Rural America is our largest underserved population. The percentage of US graduates who intend to practice in rural areas has continuously decreased over the past decade," she said.
"As a rural doctor, you are tightly woven into a community, a situation which always presents its own joys and struggles," Wendling continued. "I like working with students as they build relationships with patients, begin to understand the community, and start to creatively problem solve their way through the challenge each patient presents."
Each year, up to twelve students are selected for the Rural Community Health Program. The goal of R-CHP is to provide students with enriched clinical experiences, rural public health leadership opportunities, and small town lifestyle experiences that will encourage R-CHP alumni to establish rewarding practices in Michigan's rural communities.
R-CHP students receive clinical education from Michigan State University faculty and CHM-selected board-certified volunteer physicians in Northern and mid-Michigan. Rural communities participating in R-CHP have been selected based on exemplary educational and clinical opportunities they offer. Students also have the chance to work with the Family Practice Residents at Munson Medical Center or mid-Michigan Medical Center-Midland.
The R-CHP curriculum emphasizes a caring, compassionate, humane approach to the doctor-patient relationship and includes exposure to Rural Community Health and Rural Leadership training.
Dr. Wendling is a rural family physician in Northern Michigan and an associate professor and director of the Rural Health Curriculum for Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine. She has received many teaching awards including CHM's Outstanding Community Volunteer Faculty award in 2012, the Distinguished Faculty Award in 2004, and the American Academy of Family Physician's Pfizer Teacher Development Award in 2000. Dr. Wendling is on the editorial board for Family Medicine. She is the national chairperson for the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine.

After stating to ESPN that fourth place is good enough for Arsenal this season, Olivier Giroud has also revealed that he is fine with a cheese sandwich instead of a steak, and would settle for watching Miranda instead of Monty Python.
Olivier also stated that finishing fourth is a "successful season", and winning a trophy would be a "nice bonus". The shocking statements were made by the Arsenal striker who has seen his title chasing team bottle it harder than Steven Gerrard at a Greg Norman benefit gig over the past few months.
"Giroud has slotted in here nicely since his transfer a couple of years ago," said Arsene Wenger today. "He's got the right mentality to carry on unsuccessfully at the club, which is all we want from him. He wouldn't last a second at a club which follows through on its potential and wins those...those...shiny things. Oh! What are they called now?!"
As Giroud prepares to push Arsenal, but not too hard, into the Champions League qualification stage, it is clear that Olivier's teammates are still prepared to feed the ball to a player who has absolutely zero comedic taste.

On Friday, April
19 17, at Sons, Gary Louris and Mark Olson, both of the seminal alt-country act The Jayhawks, will perform together again for what should be a fairly decent draw. Why just fairly decent? Well, the duos's been playing around together pretty regularly since their original band's demise. In fact, they just released a new collaborative record called Ready For The Flood in January.
Should be an interesting night, though. Advance tickets are $18, and available through Front Gate.

When I meet with someone who needs help with a divorce, one of the first things I often hear is that the person believes that most aspects of the divorce either are, or will be, agreed, and they do not want to turn this into a fighting match between attorneys. Sometimes it turns out not to be the case, but many times the person is right -- much is already agreed. Unfortunately, the traditional legal system that we use to dissolve marriages tends to encourage differences and disagreements, and what starts out as agreed can quickly come undone. This is because in litigation, each party, and their respective interests, is generally framed as opposed to the other, when in reality they often share the desire to peacefully and cheaply finalize the decision they have made to legally end their marriage.
Divorce and Trust
I still practice contested litigation - about half of my law practice. It can be professionally challenging to switch from collaborative divorce practice to a litigious mindset in the same day, and sometimes the same hour. Since my preference is for collaborative law, when the transition feels most jarring is when I am faced with a situation where I would like to be trusting of the other attorney or the other party in a litigated case, as I would in a collaborative process. Since in litigation trust is discouraged and risky among professionals, and often entirely absent with divorcing couples, I have to withhold trust to some degree, and be mindful of the circumstances.

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-x-9-inch or 8-x-11-inch baking dish.
2. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring
occasionally, until translucent and soft and the edges are beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
Increase the heat to high, add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes,
stir-ring occasionally, until the tomatoes have softened and cooked down. Reduce the heat to
medium, stir in the poblanos and corn, and cook for about 2 more minutes. Stir in the broth
or water, cream, and requeson or ricotta, and cook, stirring, until nicely blended, about 1
minute. The mixture should be very saucy.
3. Spoon the rice into the prepared dish and spread in an even layer. Add the poblano
mixture and spread evenly over the rice. Sprinkle on the grated cheese.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese has completely melted. Serve hot.

The core group of secretaries associated with the Foreign Investment Promotion Board is slated to meet on Tuesday to decide whether any foreign direct investment policy parameter has to be changed and if so, at what stage.
This is aimed at dealing with the investment proposals of Chinese telecom companies.
It is likely the group would give its report to the Department of Telecommunications and the Department of Science and Technology so that they can assess the potential risks and suggest pre-emptive action, if necessary, to deal with the telecom companies.
The meeting has been called to discuss a US investigative report received by the finance ministry.
The report relates to national security challenges posed by Chinese telecom companies Huawei and ZTE.
The meeting, to be chaired by Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram, would also be attended
Many Chinese companies, including Huawei Technologies and ZTE, have been under scrutiny of the Indian government.
These companies, however, play an important role -- supplying equipment to their Indian counterparts.
The US report suggested expansion by Chinese telecom companies should be viewed with suspicion, adding mergers and takeovers by these companies should be blocked.
It is likely copies of the report would be provided to the Cabinet Committee on Security Affairs and the home ministry.
In 2002, Huawei and ZTE had approached FIPB with investment proposals, which were rejected.
However, the companies approached the board in 2005 and again, in 2006.
The approval was deferred, owing to security issues. Later, the applications were withdrawn, as the activities of the companies came under the automatic route.
Also, these were operating in India.

We are familiar with the energy label for electrical appliances and lamps for instance. The Nutri-Score is a similar indicator, but for food. Thanks to the Nutri-Score on food products, you can see at a single glance, which products are recommended and which ones you should limit. Letter A on green background indicates that the product scores well for nutritional value. A product with a red E is one you should eat or drink moderately.
A closer look at nutritional value
Colruyt Group chose the Nutri-Score because it is a science-based system. The colour code ranges from green (= good) to dark orange (= to be limited) and works with corresponding letters (from A=good to E=to be limited). Each product receives a code based on negative nutrients (energy value and amount of sugar, saturated fat and salt) and positive nutrients (share of fibre, protein, fruit, vegetables and nuts).
Basically, all food qualifies for a Nutri-Score except fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, fresh fish or fresh herbs. Prepared meals can also receive a Nutri-Score, as can drinks. Alcoholic beverages, coffee and tea do not qualify.
Clear product information
Colruyt Group focuses on a healthy food pattern. For this reason, we already diminish the amount of salt or sugar in our private labels Everyday and Boni Selection. The Nutri-Score label on the packaging of the first ten Boni Selection products is another help to make balanced choices. The label will be in a visible place on the packaging front. Later this year, you will also find the Nutri-Score at collectandgo.be and colruyt.be. You can see whether a product is recommended or to be limited at a single glance.
Discover and compare Nutri-Scores with the SmartWithFood app
With our SmartWithFood app, you could already scan all food information of a product with your smartphone - even the presence of allergens. From mid-September, you can also look up the Nutri-Score of all food products on the shelves of our store formats. It gives you a complete, transparent view of your favourite products' Nutri-Score without having to wait for the adapted packaging.Choose wisely using the Nutri-Score
With this initiative, we contribute to the following Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

Vinyl album sales have once again hit another Nielsen Music-era record high, as 14.32 million LPs were sold in 2017. That's up 9 percent from the previous one-year high of 13.1 million, which occurred in 2016.
The surge in music streaming also continued throughout 2017. Overall consumption of albums, songs, and audio on-demand streaming grew 12.5% year over year. A 59% increase in on-demand audio streams offset track and album sales declines.
For the first time ever, R&B/hip-hop became the most dominant genre, with seven of the top 10 most-consumed albums coming from that genre. The popularity of R&B/hip-hop was powered by a 72% increase in on-demand audio streaming.
Highlights from the 2017 U.S. Music Year-End Report, as culled via a recent report in Billboard, are as follows:
- Ed Sheeran's Divide was the leader in total volume (albums + track equivalent albums + on-demand audio streaming equivalent albums), followed by Kendrick Lamar's DAMN. and Taylor Swift's Reputation
- Latin music history was made when Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee's Spanish-language smash "Despacito" and its crossover remix featuring Justin Bieber topped the Hot 100 chart. "Despacito" was the biggest song of the year in terms of total activity (sales + on-demand audio streaming equivalents), followed by Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and "Humble." by Kendrick Lamar
- "Despacito" and "Shape of You" also led the Digital Song Sales chart, followed by Sam Hunt's "Body Like a Back Road" at No. 3
- Vinyl had a renaissance at retail by experiencing sales growth for the 12th consecutive year, comprising 14% of all physical album sales. The top-selling vinyl LP of the year was the 50th anniversary re-release of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
2017 marks the 12th straight year of growth in vinyl album sales, Billboard noted. The format continues to increase in sales as more new and classic albums are issued on vinyl, promotion from retailers like Amazon, Urban Outfitters and Barnes & Noble, as well as annual vinyl-oriented celebrations like Record Store Day.
Vinyl LP sales represented 8.5 percent of all album sales in 2017 – up from 6.5 percent for the configuration's share in 2016. Further, LP sales were 14 percent of all physical album sales in 2017 (a Nielsen-era record share for the format) – up from 11 percent in 2016. Vinyl album sales were driven by an array of titles, not just a handful of hot sellers. In total, 77 different titles each sold more than 20,000 copies on vinyl LP in 2017, as compared to 58 in 2016.
As usual, rock music, by far, drives most vinyl album sales, as the genre accounted for 67 percent of all vinyl album sales in 2017 (versus 69 percent in 2016).
The Beatles finish 2017 with the top two selling vinyl LPs of the year: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (72,000 — powered in large part by the album's deluxe 50th anniversary reissue in 2017) and Abbey Road (66,000). The soundtrack Guardians of the Galaxy: Awesome Mix Vol. 1 is the third biggest with 62,000. Comparably, in 2016, the top three sellers were Twenty One Pilots' Blurryface (68,000), David Bowie's Blackstar (66,000), and Adele's 25 (58,000).

This fascinating tour of Rome follows the footsteps of the protagonist from Dan Brown's best-selling novel "Angels and Demons". Meet with your private guide and driver at your hotel to get started. You will have the car at your disposal for the duration of the tour.
Your first stop will be the Basilica of Santa Maria Del Popolo, an Augustinian church built in the 15th century, where you will be able to admire the Ceraci Chapel canvasses by Caravaggio and the Chigi Chapel designed by Raphael. After that you will visit the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria, a Baroque church which houses Bernini's masterpiece: "The Ecstasy of St. Teresa".
From there you will continue by car to Tiber Island, taking the panoramic view, then to Piazza della Minerva. Nearby is the Pantheon, an ancient temple once dedicated to the old Roman gods, best known for its stunning architecture, sculptures, tombs, and the impressive oculus that lets daylight into the building. Continue to Piazza Navona where you will see another work of art by Bernini: the magnificent "Fountain of the Four Rivers'', an Egyptian obelisk rising from its middle. These four rivers are the Nile, representing Africa; the Danube, representing Europe; the Ganges, representing Asia; and the Río de la Plata, representing America.
From Piazza Navona, you will continue to the Castel Sant'Angelo, also known as the Mausoleum of Hadrian, and the Passetto di Borgo, a long corridor which connects Castel Sant'Angelo to the Vatican. Last but not least, you will visit Saint Peter's Basilica, the largest sanctuary of Christianity where proportions appear to have been forgotten in an amazing triumph of marble, bronze and mosaic works. The Basilica is the most famous example of Renaissance architecture and hosts an impressive collection of artworks and religious artifacts.
The tour will end in Saint Peter's Square from where you can take a taxi back to the hotel or continue sightseeing on your own.

Sometimes people have difficulty processing that I am both a Paramedic and a Yoga Teacher. To me, it's the most natural thing in the world. The yoga actually allows me to be who I need to be on duty, and like anyone else, my life gives heft to my yoga practice.
In an emergency, you really don't want the person who is wrapped up in it all with you, who is afraid of offending the power structure, who feels your pain. You want someone who knows what to do, when to do it, and remembers their authority comes with power and is calm enough to use it wisely while treating you with dignity.
What is an emergency anyway? I remember when I rented a lovely little house down in the valley from a wonderful woman who took care of the place herself and the sewer backed up. Not just backed up – two inches of sewer water on the lovely brick floor. When she came over to see what was to be done and I wasn't screeching like a barn owl, she thanked me for remaining so calm, because so many people would react differently to an emergency. Emergency? I asked… no, this isn't an emergency. It's a problem, but the steps for remedy are clear – not pleasant, but clear.
Does this even apply to life and death situations, or even life and limb? Of course. Even more so. If another medic on scene is about to screw up a code or give the wrong medication, give or withhold the correct amount of electricity, abdication of my knowledge and authority, of a certain amount of reason and calm will never make me more of a Paramedic. Responsibility comes with power; courage is something we cultivate and choose. Getting wrapped up in the emergency designation is always, from what I've observed, a way to cope with lack of knowledge or self-possession. It's an ego trip.
I guess the thing is that we all have situations to handle. Sure, some have weightier consequences, are more or less pleasant. But what yoga helps me remember is that "emergency" is contextual. If you have a plan and the power to change a situation, then if you have the courage to execute, it's never your emergency.

The Chair's Column: We have a blog? When did that happen?
Family Law Section
I am excited to announce the retirement of our newsletter. Why is that exciting news? Because with the retirement of the newsletter comes the birth of our blog! Publication of a newsletter required months of work soliciting and collecting articles and case law reviews. Because it could take months to put a new edition together, information in the newsletter was rarely "breaking news," but the blog format allows us to more easily send interesting and timely content to section members. As the blog gets going, you can expect to see articles written by section members, case law updates, information about section activities and events, and links to articles that may be of interest to section members. Now that I have everyone's attention, and speaking of section activities, let's talk for a minute about how you can volunteer to serve on one of our section's committees. (OK, not the most elegant segue, but hopefully you will keep reading.)
The 2013 amendment to N.C. Gen. Stat. 50B-3 to allow consent DVPOs to be entered without findings of fact, the 2013 enactment of N.C. Gen. Stat. 50-19.1 which allows an appeal of certain family law orders before all pending claims have been adjudicated, the 2013 amendment to the divisible property statute. What do all of these things have in common? They were all drafted and proposed by committees within our family section council. Amendments to Chapter 50B to allow modifications of DVPOs, amendments to the ED retirement statutes, a new parentage statute, study of alimony guidelines. What do all of these things have in common? These are things our committees are currently working on. As you may be starting to suspect, most of the work of the section is done by our committees. We currently have 1,467 section members, making us the fourth largest section in the NCBA (for those wondering, Real Property, Litigation, and Business Law are the three largest sections) and we do have some great people serving on committees now, but with a section of this size we are always looking for more folks to get involved. Whatever it is about family law that interests you, there is a committee for that. Right now, we have a particular need for folks who want to work on the children's issues, parents' rights, and modern family committees, but volunteers for all committees are welcome and appreciated. If you are interested in joining a committee, please contact the committee chair and let him or her know of your interest. A list of current committees and committee chairs can be found here: https://www.ncbar.org/members/sections/family-law/leadership/

The Federal Government has been urged to support pig production through use of modern technologies.
The publisher,Food Farm News, Mr Ayeni Oladehinde said in a statement that because of the lack of innovative approaches to animal nutrition in the pig market, volumes have decreased in recent years.
He said the nation's pig industry has slaughtered fewer animals, due largely in part to higher, more unstable feed costs.
The decrease, he maintainned can be partially explained by unexpectedly large increases on soyabean and grain prices, while pork prices only enjoyed a slight boost during the same period.
According to him, the government can boost productivity in the industry by increasing investment in finishing facilities – farms where young pigs are kept until they reach market weight.
He called on the government to improve fortunes in the industry through the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) programme, adding that there is greater potential for wealth-creation and employment-generation, if Nigerians are made to explore the opportunities across the value chain.
He said the nation needed to harness its potential, scrap old production systems that had an adverse impact on the environment and develop faster and more flexible processing of environmental and building applications.
He called for investment to improve the social and economic well-being of approximately farmers across the country, adding that the level of pork production, could led to increase significantly as a result of the investment.
