Straight Teeth Braces
Do you avoid having your photo taken? Are you always covering your smile? Would you like to have a smile you could be proud of?
We understand there are lots of people in Yorkshire who have been living with a crooked or twisted smile. The great news is it's never too late for you to get the smile that you want, and with the advances that have been made within dentistry there is no need for you to wear unsightly braces for what could be years on end!
How Can We Straighten Your Teeth So Quickly?
Now I am sure that there are a lot of people out there that are not aware of how quickly we can straighten teeth nowadays and here at Taylored Dental Care we have various systems that can help you achieve what you want.
We have removable systems such as this one which is attached to the front of your teeth. It can work very quickly and has the advantage that you can take them out, so if you are going to a social event you don't have to wear them.
We have clear aligners such as this one which are barely noticeable, the more invisible type of brace and obviously the advantage of this one is that people wouldn't see that you are wearing braces.
If you want more complex movements we have bracketed systems, such as this one. You can have white brackets like the top one here or metal brackets like the bottom one here. These are used for more complex cases and can achieve a really lovely result.
Treatment times can vary, usually around 6 months but some can go on a bit longer than that, it just depends on the amount of movement required.

Inside: Everything You Need To Know About Straight Teeth Systems On Offer At Taylored Dental Care To Improve Your Smile And Your Confidence
Are Braces Right For You?
We have many different options for you if you are unhappy with your teeth and smile. For many people, braces can be the perfect solution, for others veneers are the way forward, and for some just a little cosmetic bonding will help to achieve that perfect smile.
Below are some of the more popular treatments that many of our patients choose to give them straighter teeth.
It's likely that we will recommend Fastbraces® for your orthodontic treatment if you have a more severe problem with your bite or alignment. This is because Fastbraces® can bring about huge changes without even breaking a sweat! (Which would be very bizarre indeed.)
Inman Aligner
Imagine getting your front teeth straightened in as little as six weeks!
We at Taylored Dental Care offer you the Inman Aligner, an incredible device that gets amazingly fast results on fully developed adult teeth, taking from 6 to 16 weeks, depending on the severity of the problem.
The great value Inman Aligner is often suitable for less severe cases of crossbites and protruding teeth. It is not for moving your canines (the pointy ones).
Even better, you can take the aligner out for whatever reason, as long as you keep it in for 20 hours a day.
Clear Smile
We might recommend that you choose Clear Smile braces if your case is less severe, but involves more than your front 4 (or 'anterior') teeth. Clear Smile is not ideal for a case where a large amount of movement is needed, but it is perfect when the front 8 teeth need adjusting.
Teenagers and adults from 14 and above can have this treatment. It's also a good option for orthodontic relapse cases, where the teeth have moved back into place due to inadequate retention. This is certainly something we can prevent for you!
Traditional Orthodontics
Patients who have problems with their bite and the way their top and bottom teeth line up against each other should consider having orthodontic treatment. Treatment does require good oral hygiene habits by the patient and regular visits to the practice for check-ups and adjustments.
Depending on the extent of the alignment required with your teeth, treatment can take from several months to a year with reliable results. Thanks to fixed permanent retention you can be assured that your teeth won't move after treatment is completed.
The main benefit of having orthodontic treatment is that straighter teeth are healthier teeth. When your bite is properly aligned and your teeth are straightened, there are less gaps and areas for food to get trapped and plaque to build up on the teeth, causing decay. In that sense, orthodontics is a long-term investment in your oral health.

Ocean County Press Release: $5 million on the recent refunding of bonds totaling about $77.4 million
TOMS RIVER – A stable financial outlook and a reaffirmation of the highest credit rating possible is helping Ocean County save almost $5 million.
"With our bond rating reaffirmed at AAA, and because of conservative financial planning by this Board of Freeholders we will save about $5 million on the recent refunding of bonds totaling about $77.4 million," said Freeholder Director John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the county's Finance Department. "The ongoing efforts of this Board of Freeholders to budget conservatively while providing the funds for our core services has resulted in us maintaining this credit rating resulting in this savings."
Ocean County first received a AAA bond rating in 2010 with the rating agencies increasing it to a AAA with a stable outlook last year.
"That's the best rating you can get," Bartlett said. "This is our financial report card. We have a solid financial plan in this County, we follow it and this bond rating validates it."
Ocean County recently refunded or refinanced $77,460,000 in bonds in order to reduce the interest rate and payment by the County.
"By selling these bonds on the market floor, we saw a percentage of savings of 5.1 percent on interest costs," Bartlett said. "That yields a $4.7 million savings."
Bartlett noted that refunding bonds is similar to an individual refinancing a mortgage.
"You refinance at a lower rate to save money," Bartlett said. "That is what we do at the County but it's on money we have borrowed for large, capital projects."
Included in the $77.4 million was funding for upgrades to the county radio communications system, construction of the Ocean County Vocational Technical Schools Marine Academy of Technology and Environmental Science, reconstruction of Brick Boulevard, the new terminal at the Ocean County Airport, Jakes Branch County Park, Beachwood and a host of engineering projects throughout the County.
"These bonds were issued in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008," Bartlett said. "The refunding does not extend the life of the bonds.
"These projects are the bricks and mortar projects, they will be used for a very long time," Bartlett said.
Bond rating houses Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings have both given Ocean County a AAA bond rating. Bond ratings range from Baa, the lowest, to AAA, the highest possible.
In 2014 Ocean County's bond rating reached the highest rating possible – AAA stable outlook – with the revision from a negative outlook in 2013 by Moody's Investor Services.

Columbia organization paying it forward to Texas relief efforts
COLUMBIA - Pay it Forward Columbia, a new charity store in mid-Missouri, is donating this month's proceeds to help victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.
"Since Hurricane Harvey started here recently, we decided that our charity for this next month will be Catholic charities," Pay it Forward founder Sylvia Sprinkles said. "Because they're down there doing what needs to be done."
Pay It Forward has operated a for-charity store on Mondays for the past year; this is the first month of the new store, which will be open on Wednesdays. People can buy a grocery bag worth of items for $1, a tall trash bag worth of items for $5, or a 30-gallon bag for $10. The store is filled with donations from local retailers, with clothes and toys, and even some pieces of furniture.
"Every Wednesday we set up a store of brand new clothing that's donated by stores such as Furniture Factory Outlet, Harmony's Treasure Box, Once Upon a Child," Sprinkles said. "Basically they donate items, or individuals donate items (to the store)."
Columbia's Pay it Forward sets up at Stephens Community Center off of the Millersburg exit of I-70.
"It's all about everybody helping each other," Sprinkles said. "No matter what we have to do."
Sprinkles said that she hopes more people come out to the stores, because they have overflow clothing that could be helping people. She also said they will be contributing to Hurricane Harvey relief efforts for as long as they feel is needed.

Almost all mobile phone sell in Japan are waterproof. With removable battery and non fingerprint magnet backcover, this is way better than Z/ZL.

ALKINOLA, 09 May 2013sony should realy start thinking on making super AMOLED screen or even LED backlit LCD phones.... moresony have new screen technology like triluminos with quantum dots/QLEDs
QLEDs bring numerous benefits to the solid state lighting and display markets, including:
Pure color -- Will deliver 30-40% luminance efficiency advantage over organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) at the same color point.
Low power consumption -- QLEDs have the potential to be more than twice as power efficient as OLEDs at the same color purity.
Low-cost manufacture -- The ability to print large-area QLEDs on ultra-thin flexible substrates will reduce luminaire manufacturing cost.
Ultrathin, transparent, flexible form factors -- QLEDs will enable designers to develop new display and lighting forms not possible with existing technologies.
do you know JAPAN DISPLAY INC (JDI)its The merged businesses between Sony mobile display. toshiba mobile display and hitachi display
JDI have new screen technology like
IPS LCD with RGBW (same thechnology like Xperia P White magic) it have high contrast ratio of 2000:1, about 178 degrees viewing angle,with low power consumption that is approximately 50% less.
JDI also have OLEDS Technology
The OLEDs panel uses the same red, green, blue, and white sub pixels
The panel's maximum screen luminance with an all-white signal is 400-500cd/m2.
It has a contrast ratio higher than 10,000:1
and about 90% color gamut on NTSC standards. But Japan Display aims to increase the color gamut to 100% before the volume production.
if you compare it with samsung super amoled (Galaxy S4)
Samsung super amoled 287 cd/m2 vs JDI OLEDs 400-500cd/m2
Colour Gamut:
Samsung super amoled 132% Standard Mode 122% Movie Mode vs JDI OLEDs 90% (Note that Too Large a Color Gamut is visually worse than Too Small and 100% mean accurate colour)
SONY will have many great diplay option by the end of this year or by 2014
Spending design and production effort just to produce limited number of phone for 1 carrier is stupid. That's why Apple doesn't do it then have big profit.
Anonymous, 09 May 2013stop dreaming! it's a JAPAN-ONLY phone! for NTT-DoCoMo summer Lineup and it will never be rele... moreyes, you are correct .. it wont make it to the rest of the world in this version anyway, as the exclusivity in Japan would be lost and the customers there would not buy it probably
i think it will be water resistant... because there is some rubber. ? :\ will it be?

Washington (USA) Oct 09: The White House is sending mixed messages about the future of the United States' role in Syria.
President Donald Trump announced on Monday that US soldiers would pull out of northeastern Syria.
This would allow Turkey to launch a military operation against Kurdish fighters, which it considers to be "terrorists".
A White House official later contradicted the president by saying US troops are only being redeployed, rather than withdrawn.
Syrian Kurds described Trump's decision as a "stab in the back" after they helped the US defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) group.
Even some of the president's supporters condemned the decision.
So, what are the risks of a military operation in northern Syria? And what will happen to the thousands of ISIL fighters held by Kurdish forces?

Editorial: Legislators — Take This Small Step To Help Cities and Towns
Stamford Advocate
Wednesday, November 29, 2017
Cities and towns throughout Connecticut have been buffeted around by the state's budget uncertainty for months on end. It was challenging enough to develop local budgets in the spring, when the General Assembly had no alternative to the first budget proposed by Gov. Dannel Malloy in February.
Local leaders were left to build their budgets on wishes and fears.
The governor's first budget scared municipal leaders because it called for shifting 30 percent of teacher pension costs from the state down to the local districts, which would have pushed up local property taxes.
The General Assembly didn't endorse that seismic shift — though no local mayor or first selectman could have been sure of that outcome when predicting the level of state aid for their own budgets to go into effect last July 1.
For a while, state legislators considered abolishing local car taxes. While perhaps more equitable for taxpayers, the sudden move would have been a devastating loss of revenue for local governments. For a while, state legislators considered raising the sales tax slightly and giving the difference to municipalities — a boost and revenue diversification. That idea went nowhere.
The ups and downs, hopes and fears, played out as the General Assembly failed to agree on a budget until mid-September. But it was vetoed by the governor, who proposed other budgets that would have cut state aid, among other items. Finally — finally — after 123 days the General Assembly passed a budget that met Malloy's approval.
A bad dream that won't end back to top
Local leaders at last had a definitive picture of how much state aid they would receive, which was not as harsh at it had seemed in February.
But then, like a bad dream that won't end, the governor on Friday cut another $880 million in agency funding and municipal aid to balance the state budget. One can argue about the necessity, and possibly the General Assembly will attempt to overturn his decision, but they will have to find savings elsewhere.
Municipalities need more predictability, Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti, told the Hearst Connecticut Media's editorial board with leaders of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities this week. Lauretti, a declared Republican candidate for governor, is a member of CCM's legislative committee.
This year's budget roller coaster is a stark lesson that state budget preparation must be done differently. It simply wasn't fair to cities and towns.
Legislative leaders should find ways to give relief. Here is one suggestion: Reset the percentage of reserve funds that could be protected in arbitration.
That may not sound exciting, but it is important. To protect bond ratings, municipalities should have two to three months in reserves. CCM Executive Director Joe DeLong said his group advocated that municipal reserves up to 15 percent of a total budget to be off limits for arbitration award consideration, and it was in the budget vetoed by the governor. The new budget amended the wording, which opens municipalities to greater risk.
At the very least, state legislators need to correct that formula to help cities and towns out of this endless budget nightmare.

Residents in a sleepy town have been left fearing for their safety after rats as big as cats were spotted scurrying around their area.
Parents are reportedly afraid their children will be bitten by the vermin, while homeowners are refusing to leave windows open in case the giant rats get inside.
Some residents of Killyleagh, in County Down, are even afraid to lift their wheelie bin lids for fear a rat could have eaten its way in and be lurking inside.
Lynsey Hagan told the Down Recorder newspaper: "Some of us are afraid to go out at night and hearing rats scratching at bins is a regular occurrence.
"It sends shivers up my spine when I hear it. Children play at the rear of a number of houses and we have to keep a close eye on them."
Ryan Stavely, who caught the rat pictured above, added: "Quite clearly there is a plague of rats at this part of the town."
And local DUP councillor Billy Walker told the paper: "One spotted was the size of a small cat and another jumped over the shoulder of a woman when she opened her bin.
"I am miffed as to why there are so many rats, particularly with so many cats running around."
The local council advised residents to stop putting out food for birds, close their bins and clear any pet food from outside their homes at night.
A council statement added: "Investigations are ongoing into the increased numbers of rats in the area, in particular to Dibney River, which is a natural habitat for rodents and runs at the rear of the development."
It comes after a pensioner discovered a car park rubbish bin being raided by a family of rats – described as being as big as cats.
Horrified Don Proctor, 80, was sitting in his car waiting to take photos of a cruise ship about to dock in Torquay, Devon.
He saw something moving out of the corner of his eye and was appalled to see at least four rats - two huge ones - scurrying in and out of the bins.
He snapped a few frames while the hungry rodents raided the containers for food, before scurrying off.

The world famous fashion designers, Dolce and Gabbana, caused outrage yesterday by voicing views denouncing same sex parenting.
The fashion powerhouse claimed in an interview entitled 'Long Live The Traditional Family' that they were against gay people using IVF in order to create babies, and claimed that "children need both a mother and a father."
The internet's gone into meltdown, Elton John's hit the roof, gone on the attack and there's now a rapidly gaining momentum "Boycott Dolce and Gabbana" campaign taking off.
Twitter is full of outrage too.
All of this kind of makes me uneasy, as there's so much vitriol being spouted their way just for daring to express an opinion that goes against what is thought of as 'right on'.
Are people not allowed a differing opinion any more? I'm not saying here I agree, but I DO think that they are entitled to hold their beliefs and should be entitled to express them without people trying to sabotage their business and boycott their stuff.
(Although I doubt they'll be crying TOO loudly into their designer handkerchiefs at the thought of bankruptcy.)
Just because they believe in a family with a mother and a father both present, doesn't make their opinion any less valid.
Just like it doesn't make same sex parenting wrong either – there's no 'wrong' way.
Both are families.
All it means is that people have differing views, and as such should be able to express them without fear of the backlash they're getting.
They are entitled to their opinion after all, just like you're entitled to yours…

A compressor solution provided by Caps Australia to a major beef processing facility in Queensland has helped the processor drastically reduce energy expenditure.
The Kilcoy Pastoral Company's (Kilcoy) facilities in Queensland refurbished their existing plant and installed new compressor equipment supplied by Compressed Air and Power Solutions Australia (CAPS). Kilcoy is one of the largest integrated beef processors in Australia, selling its product to the domestic Australian market as well as 20 international markets.
A full energy audit of the Kilcoy plant conducted in 2011 by Energy Efficiency Services (EES), a business division of CAPS Australia revealed that there were considerable savings to be made by ensuring energy efficiency of the compressed air systems. Compressed air is responsible for 10-15% of industrial electricity use nationwide.
According to John Pears, Queensland Sales Engineer for CAPS, an Ingersoll Rand Nirvana R160ne-A compressor was selected to supply compressed air for the meat processors, pumps and tools, in addition to the packaging lines.
Featuring a Variable Speed Drive (VSD) coupled with an intuitive controller with easily adjustable operating parameters, onboard diagnostics and a built-in energy savings calculator, the Nirvana R160ne-A compressor also utilises a unique coolant curtain to reduce energy consumption by injecting atomised oil into the compressed air stream, significantly lowering the energy required for compression.
The Ingersoll Rand premium efficiency packages supplied with Nirvana compressors allow customers to utilise the full potential of VSD compressors through the use of unique two-stage airends, which deliver up to 15% more air than a single-stage compressor while consuming the same amount of energy.
Models in the Nirvana range are supplied with the exclusive Hybrid Permanent Magnet (HPM) motor, which provides unmatched reliability and efficiency with unlimited starts/stops and constant pressure control. A 'soft start' facility allows the compressor to conserve energy by shutting down instead of running unloaded.
To reduce downtime and lost production, the R160ne-A is rated for continuous operation 24 hours per day, seven days per week at 100% loading. The Nirvana can withstand high ambient temperatures of up to 46°C, ensuring its suitability for some of Australia's harshest environments. Removable hinged doors in the Nirvana allow easy access to internal components for maintenance.
Kilcoy Chief Executive Dean Goode explained that the upgrade of its air compressor system was part of the processor's ongoing program to improve its performance and reduce plant carbon emissions. The commissioning of new compressors, along with the installation of new refrigerated dryer and additional filtration systems was the largest contributing factor in the company's energy cost savings.
Though the average plant compressed air usage has increased by about 14%, there has been an average power reduction of 15% due to the improved compressor technology.
According to Quentin St Baker, National Manager of EES, the Kilcoy upgrade not only substantially boosts performance, but will also help to improve equipment lifespan and eliminate production downtime. He estimated that the resulting air compressor energy savings would exceed 40% and maintenance costs would be reduced by approximately 30%.
Goode adds that the energy savings from the compressed air upgrade will help the company recover its investment within four years.

A visitation was held at the Schwenke-Baumgarten Funeral Home on Friday, Jan. 19, 2018. Fred had a graveside funeral at the Burger Family Cemetery located in Cat Spring, on Jan. 20, 2018 at 2 p.m. A team of horses and a wagon driven by his brother, Roy Gene Burger and his son Richard Gene Burger, led Fred from his home place on Hahn Road down to the Burger Family Cemetery also on Hahn Road. Walking behind the wagon was Fred's pallbearers and daughters.
Pastor Lemae Higgs from Swiss Alp Lutheran Church officiated the ceremony. The Sealy American Legion Post 442 presented the military honors for Fred with the presentation of the flag to his children and ended the ceremony with Taps. Pallbearers for Fred were brother, Roy Gene Burger, son Richard Gene Burger, grandson Reece Kunschick, nephew Clint Burger, nephew John Royce "Bubba" Burger, and great nephew Ryan Moseley. Fred was born February 5, 1936, to Fred William Burger, Sr. and Hazel Bernice Burger of Cat Spring, Texas. He was raised on the family's dairy farm and was a great big brother to his siblings. He graduated from Sealy High School in 1954.
Fred was working towards having his own dairy farm business, but shortly thereafter he was drafted into the U.S. Army on Nov. 3, 1960 and was soon stationed in Germany. After honorable discharge from the U.S. Army in Oct. 29, 1962, Fred was back home in Cat Spring, where he soon fell in love with Clema "Jean" Belote-Cowling and they were married November 2, 1963. They made their home in the Houston area until 2015 when they moved closer to their children due to Fred's health issues. They have been happily married for 54 years. Fred and Jean were blessed with three children, Rick, Julie, and Patti and three stepchildren Glenda, Chuck and Dusty. Fred was a very hard worker and worked many years for DRILCO out of Houston. He enjoyed the outdoors.
When he was able, Fred enjoyed planting and tending to his flowers and keeping his yard looking tidy. He loved spending time with his children and his grandchildren whenever he got the chance. He was always full of sweet surprises for his children and grandchildren. He loved spending time with his parents when they were still alive and his siblings. Fred was a very family-oriented man with the kindest heart. Preceding him in death were his wonderful parents, Fred William Burger, Sr. and Hazel Bernice Burger, and his sweet sister, Cheryl Acebo, and his two nephews, Justin Burger and Austin Burger. He is survived by his son, Richard Gene Burger of Bellville; his daughter, Julie Ann Kunschick and her husband, Emil Kunschick of Weimar; and his daughter, Patricia Michelle Burger -Wagner ("Patti") of Weimar; stepdaughter Glenda Vanicek and her husband Donald of Weimar, stepdaughter Dusty Wagner and her husband Byron of Swiss Alp, and stepson Chuck Cowling of Victoria, brother John Royce Burger and his wife Betty of Sealy; brother DeWayne Burger and his wife Catherine of Bellville; brother Roy Gene Burger and his wife Melissa of Bastrop; granddaughters, Cassey Lynn Bentley and her wife Brittney of Houston, Rikki Lynn Burger of Bellville, Emilie Faye Kunschick and Ashlie Hazel Kunschick of Weimar, Heather Janak and her husband Bryan of Weimar, Karissa Kleiber and her husband Ryan of LaGrange, Keely Brower and her husband Jeff of Schulenburg, Kami Stone and her husband Jacob of Austin, Audie Cowling of Weimar; and grandsons, Reece William Kunschick of Weimar, C.J. Cowling and his wife Jessica of Katy, Donnie Vanicek and his wife Jessica of Shiner, and great grandchildren Tayden Reid Burger; Ty, Tanner, Tori, and Tucker Janak; Harley and Toland Thornhill; Kayla, Justin, and Jacob Cowling; Mason, Malee, Maddox and Maggie Kleiber; Hagen and Hollis Brower; and Jackson Wagner-Stone.
Fred was a devoted husband, father, and "Papa." He was the kindest, most gentle soul you could ever meet. He only wanted the best for his family and always put everyone's needs before his own. We have so many cherished memories we will hold close to our hearts. He frequently said he wished he could have done more for us, bought us more things, provided us more material things, but we always told him the material things never added up to the love he gave his children and his family. As he left this earth, we all know we gained one amazing guardian angel.

Royals attend press party
Prince Charles, Prince William and Camilla Parker Bowles have all attended a party in London celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Press Complaints Commission.
The event - at London's Somerset House - was the first time that the three have appeared together in public.
Mrs Parker Bowles, wearing a black dress and pearls, and accompanied by her son Tom, arrived 14 minutes after the princes.
The commission promotes press self-regulation with a code of conduct for editors, journalists and photographers.
Prince William's presence at the event has been seen as a way of thanking the press for respecting his freedom during his gap year.
Among the guests at the party, William was introduced to former EastEnders actor Ross Kemp and his girlfriend Rebekah Wade, editor of the News of the World.
The soap opera Coronation Street was well represented by a number of former and current stars including Jane Danson, Tracy Shaw, Kevin Kennedy and Liz Dawn attending.
Asked if had recovered from a knife attack before Christmas, Savident replied: "Yes, well not quite, but I am on the way."
William was particularly keen to meet footballer turned Hollywood actor Vinnie Jones
Jones said: "I asked him why he supported Aston Villa rather than Chelsea and he said, 'It has just happened that way'."
Jones, who arrived with his wife Tanya, has not always been on good terms with the press.
'No complaints'
But he said: "I am not here to complain tonight.
"We all have our ups and downs. It is a bit like my football career really - you have to take the rough with the smooth."
Sir Richard Branson also expressed support for the PCC, saying: "It's a good organisation. It gives people who have not got the money to go to court to make complaints when they are mistreated by the press."
"Some were successful, some were not, but all have come here to celebrate 10 years of self-regulation.
"It was pretty rotten when we started but it improved over time and I think most people think we do a pretty good job now."
He added: "Prince William's days at school would have been intolerable without some sort of system, and when he is at university I hope he is going to have a good time there and be treated like any other student as far as possible.
"I think that self-regulation is an established part of that process."
Other celebrities to attend included actress Joanna Lumley, society girl Lady Victoria Hervey, fashion designer Donatella Versace and actress Amanda Donohoe.
Politicians and Fleet Street editors and other members of the media were also attending.
Thank the press
Members of the public whose complaints have been upheld by the PCC were also invited.
This reopened questions over how far the media could go when covering the prince's private life.
There are fears the media may show less deference when William begins his studies at St Andrews University in Fife, in September.
Students have already been warned they could be expelled if they leak information about the prince to the press.

In the quest for the "fully actualized life", the problem of pain and suffering must be dealt with. Everyone experiences it at times, no matter how successful they appear to be.
Many people are so tired of suffering that they lose their enthusiasm for being here. I'm not referring to clinical depression or suicidal thoughts - that is a serious problem of a different magnitude.
I'm talking about the millions who simply muddle along, shrouded in the "fog of distress". They resent the pain and suffering, and feel victimized by life circumstances that seem out of their control. Whatever the circumstances, be it illness, relationship disharmony, financial woes, or simply an empty feeling inside - the tendency is to feel angry and disillusioned about existence in a sea of pain.
One can blame God, blame your parents or partner, or inflict the damage upon yourself through persistent negative thoughts and self-directed anger.
A more spiritual approach is to seek answers from a higher source. Law of Attraction teaching correctly points out that changing attitudes and beliefs can greatly change the way things look and feel in physical reality. However, some LOA gurus seem to insist that pain and suffering can be eliminated by attracting Health and Wealth. This approach misses an an important point.
As I mentioned in previous posts, most suffering seems to result from resisting the soul's agenda and current lesson program. The attitude we take can make a huge difference in how it looks and feels.
Other issues can be unresolved pain from past traumas, that remains stuck in the etheric field, or metabolic imbalances resulting from poor diet or chronic stress.
A fundamental truth to consider is that suffering is not the primary reason we are here. The extreme duality in this physical plane ensures that challenge and chaos will abound, but that is merely incidental to our existence on the physical plane.
A silver lining to Earth's duality is that the soul is provided a stage on which to work out its purpose. What novel or movie would be entertaining without drama? Challenges can be seen a mere stimulants for creative problem solving.
The soul has all the tools it needs to overcome any problem. There is purpose in everything, so it helps to become aware of how the soul sees things.
To anyone currently facing challenges in life, I suggest asking yourself the following questions:
1. Could this experience be related to a lesson from the soul's perspective? This is especially pertinent if the challenging situation seems to repeat itself again and again. A passing grade is required to move on!
2.Some tragedies result from soul contracts or scripts. This may sound like scant comfort at your moment of distress, but if you can access your soul's perspective or Akashic records, it can make a huge difference once you piece together the big picture.
3. Many problems result from energy blockages, negative beliefs, past life bleed-through, or even spirit attachments. You may need to consult with a skilled energy practitioner to get help with these.
Whatever the cause, the point to remember is that nothing happens by random chance. From the ego-mind's narrow viewpoint, it's easy to develop a view that life is harsh and unjust. From the soul's perspective, life is a grand adventure!
The way we experience circumstances can quickly change by simply changing our attitude. One reason for that is consciousness is the driving force behind our perceived reality, We are the cause, not the effect! This realization can be a truly liberating truth.
O we can wait no longer,
We too take ship O soul,
Joyous we too launch out on trackless seas,
Fearless for unknown shores on waves of ecstasy to sail,
Amid the wafting winds, (thou pressing me to thee, I thee to me, O soul,)
Caroling free, singing our song of God,
Chanting our chant of pleasant exploration.
- excerpt from The Sea Symphony by Vaughan Williams (from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass)

Prensa Latina celebrates 60th anniversary of foundation
Damascus, Cuban Embassy in Damascus held on Monday a reception on the 60th anniversary of Latin American News Agency ( Prensa Latina ) foundation at the residence of the Ambassador in Damascus.
Ambassador Miguel Porto Parga described relations between Syria and Cuba as deep and strong, saying that the two friendly countries will celebrate the 54th anniversary of the establishment of mutual bilateral relations after several weeks.
He appreciated the efforts exerted by correspondents of Latin American Agency since the start of war on Syria in the face of the western fierce media campaign launched against it that aimed to distort the realities.
Pedro Garcia Fernandez, Director of Prensa Latina in Syria, said the Cuban agency has persistently worked to face the media misleading campaign launched by the US against the Cuban revolution.
In a statement to SANA, Fernandez pointed out to the strong cooperation between his agency and SANA, saying that SANA is considered as our first and basic source of news.
Prensa Latina was established in 1959 with the victory of the Cuban revolution. It has offices in 35 countries.

Tired of splitting checks when eating out? Venmo greatly simplifies making payments to your friends using your Android or iOS device, for free.
It originally began as a text-message-based payment startup, but Venmo has been gaining steady traction among smartphone users looking for payment utilities without the use of NFC chips and external card readers and sliders.
The mobile app allows its users to send money to their contacts without the hassle of dealing with differing indivudal bank or credit card services.
The result is a seamless and universally accessible payment experience that omits the hidden charges or commission fees (at least when paying with a bank account).
Those without Androids or iPhones can also get in on the action. Non-smartphone users will instead receive alerts via text message from Venmo, notifying them of payments and pending charges. Between Venmo's Web site and its apps, users can use the service seamlessly without concern for being charged transfer fees between different banks. Combined with the accessibility of a smartphone, you're now looking at a digital wallet that just simply works -- without card readers or NFC chips.
Venmo claims to keep a tight grip on their security. In addition to complying with government standards, Venmo argues that it's even more strict with its funds than even the regulations set by the federal bank. Combined with 256-bit SSL encryption, you can sleep soundly knowing that your payments are securely transferred.
If you frequently go out to dinner with friends or deal with IOUs, then Venmo is a must-have utility for your smartphone. Venmo is available for free on the iPhone, Android devices, and the Web.
Editors' note: While using Venmo, payments made by your bank account or Venmo balance will not be charged extra. When using credit cards as payments, the first $500 in transactions are free of charge. For more information on fees and limits, visit Venmo's site.

Essential junk: things that I haven't thrown away
28 March 2016
WHEN I left England with my family in early 1956 there were deep snowdrifts along the roads. We travelled in a small, overloaded Morris Minor that sometimes doubled as the village taxi. My Uncle Peter, who had been living with us, followed on his motorbike.
On the station at Ipswich while waiting for the train to London and then Southampton where the SS New Australia waited to take us to Australia my uncle gave us a parting gift each. For my sister there was a doll and for me there was a beautiful Joseph Rodgers penknife.
We never saw Peter again and it was fifty years before I reclaimed the penknife, which had somehow slipped into my father's pocket. My sister came across it when she was sorting through my parent's stuff after they had died. Remarkably she remembered it and gave it back to me.
I was surprised to see it. My father had a perchance for giving things away to people who admired them. I don't know how many wristwatches he lost that way.
The penknife was rusted and one of the wooden sides on the handle was missing. It was worn from long use and the blades were held together by a crude brass screw affair. It had clearly led a useful life.
I took it apart and cleaned it and then replaced the wood in the handle with two nice pieces of Queensland Satinay from Fraser Island. When I riveted it back together it came up really well. It is one of my few treasured possessions.
I'm not a hoarder and I take great delight in ditching stuff. I'm a firm believer that if you haven't used something in the last six months you don't need it. It might have something to do with the fact that most of my working life was spent out in the bush living in a swag.
There are a few exceptions however. I've got a couple of battered old patrol boxes that I bought from Steamies for $12 each in the 1960s. I've carted them around for years; after Papua New Guinea I used them in the bush in Australia. They've even been back to their homeland for a couple of extended visits.
Another thing I've got is a 1965 edition of Bill Beatty's A Treasury of Australian Folk Tales and Traditions that I was awarded as the literature prize at the end of high school. Funny thing is I've never actually read it, not my cup of tea.
There are other bits and pieces and most of it is what people would regard as junk. Who knows what might happen to it all when I eventually go to the patrol post in the sky. You can hardly leave anyone one old penknife, two battered tin boxes and a moth eaten book in your will. People are more interested in the silverware and the bank accounts.
As the cynics tell us, you are born into the world with nothing and that's the way you leave it. The inference, of course, is that a life spent accumulating stuff is pretty pointless.
There are probably a few rich people around who inherited their wealth who might dispute that sort of wisdom.
But, then again, they probably haven't got a genuine Joseph Rodgers penknife.

The olympthings are towers which re-define skyscraper typologies by using the decayed and forgotten as a process of generating forms which change through time. They are architectural objects which exist to explore the death and rebirth of Olympic architecture in a speculative future Tokyo. Rather than demolishing existing olympic venues and replace them with new structures, the venues are instead sculpted into towers with pre-existing materials in order to create a new hyperdense tower architecture. All re-purposed concrete, cable, steel and plastic is combined into a chaotic new material unit. This new material adopts the formal properties of an anonymous mess that rises upwards from the remains of past olympic things.
Conceptually, each tower is geometrically defined from the start by extracting a cubic 'seating' chunk into the air. This extraction leaves behind a long trail of dust, debris, wires, and other materials. The movement of these materials into the air is used as a means to typologically redefine the skyscraper form into an 'olympic thing' with an asymmetrically disrupted abdomen. The asymmetry of the interior massing further helps to bleed opposing program elements together, either through physical adjacency and connecting bridges or visually through apertures and windows. The interior is defined through advection and perlin noise algorithms which help to create openings and pathways for people to access. Variations of these algorithms are repeated throughout each structural layer to create a blurring effect when viewed from afar.
This blurring effect is amplified further due to each tower being wrapped in multiple layers of manipulable wires, cables and other re-purposed stadium strings. Along the perimeter of every floor there are magnetic rings that work in conjunction with these wires to create a dynamic curtain system. Electromagnetic pulses (EMP) are sent through the outer magnetic rings in order to generate small electromagnetic fields (EMF) between the rings and the nearest perpendicular wires. Each magnetic ring can be turned off or reversed in polarity with accordance to adjacent program needs. Fields can also be completely disabled so that wires align vertically to provide an effective way to control light and views. Although each tower or Olympthing is structurally identical, the use of the EMF wire system allows each tower to continuously take on new forms throughout the day.

After two months, this summer's stash-busting challenge is nearly at a close. It went by so quickly -- too quickly! I'm scrambling to finish my third project. In the meantime, here's the second layout that I created with the kit that I assembled:
While I bodily survived the false nuclear attack, the fallout is still real, and takes the form of overwhelming anxiety at times -- especially when the sirens are tested each month -- and when I watch interviews from those affected that day. A few weeks ago, I saw a trailer for an upcoming documentary about the event and was fine for the first few moments, and then ended up crying and shaking through the rest.
This layout shares my thoughts documented the day after the false alarm as well as my thoughts, months after the scare. The journaling is too extensive to fit on a single page, so I am tucking it into envelopes -- one from "that day" and the other from "today."
I'm just relieved to finally have been able to get this down, even though I'm still not quite at peace.
ANYWAY...the challenge ends tomorrow. Be sure to direct me to your projects if I haven't yet seen them! I am loving what I have seen so far.

Adjusting Government Policies for Age Inflation
NBER Working Paper No. 14231
Government policies that are based on age do not adjust to the fact that a given age is associated with a higher remaining life expectancy and lower mortality risk relative to earlier time periods due to improvements in mortality. We examine four possible methods for adjusting the eligibility ages for Social Security, Medicare, and Individual Retirement Accounts to determine what eligibility ages would be today and in 2050 if adjustments for mortality improvement were taken into account. We find that historical adjustment of eligibility ages for age inflation would have increased ages of eligibility by approximately 0.15 years annually. Failure to adjust for mortality improvement implies the percent of the population eligible to receive full Social Security benefits and Medicare will increase substantially relative to the share eligible under a policy of age adjustment.

So you have to prepare food, training course and vital Halloween out fits for Halloween party. But an essential part of any Halloween party is the guests. Halloween invites are required to invite them for the party so how you will prepare Halloween celebration invitations? There are numerous Halloween invitations available to make your party totally unique.
There are 2 main techniques to create your own invites. The first would be to develop invites from card and touches the other is to create all of them making use of your computer system. Or if perhaps you're experiencing truly innovative, you could utilize both techniques together!
For handmade Halloween invitations, you ought to get started with a few black or orange card. These are conventional Halloween shades along with bloodstream red and ghost white. Reduce the card to size and fold if required, this will be done if you would like an image in the exterior associated with card while the celebration details on the inside.
You can easily know embellish the card with computer system printouts such as video art or wording or Halloween embellishments such as pumpkins, witches, ghosts etc. with a few spooky Halloween lettering.
Let your creativity run riot. You are able to have a look at invitations in shops or Halloween photos in the online for tips. The exact same goes if you are creating your invitation on a term processing or publishing program. But to save lots of printer ink you might maybe not wish an excellent shade background. It might be even more price efficient to have a Halloween edge all over web page and then a larger photo when you look at the center aided by the party details underneath. I generally make my Halloween invites A5 size to ensure I'm able to fit two in one sheet of report side by side.
Many individuals discover it simple in order in order to make their particular invites look extremely frightening after that again get trapped from the wording. So exactly how do you create Halloween invitation wording? The easy choice is to just write the party details – date, time, location etc, in the invite. But a fantastic touch is to produce a spooky verse which will offer every person a sense of what exactly is to come during the party.
Right here are two examples. Is This very first instance for a Halloween party concept for children:
"BOO, (friends name)!
Calling all witches, ghouls and ghosts in the eve of Halloween as soon as the moon is complete, at specifically (period of celebration) there will be a special event of spooktastic proportions during the haunted home of (hosts title and address).
Trick or Treat? RSVP to (name and number)"
Whilst this next example is for a Halloween party for teenagers or grownups:
"From the Eve of Halloween, the evening associated with the full moon, are you going to, (friends' name), be victim into the slayer that's prowling (name of community).
Really the only sanctuary is in (address of party) during the home of (teenagers name). But this house is reported to be haunted by ghouls and other Halloween creatures at this time around of the 12 months.
So enter with attention since this destination of sanctuary is maybe not for the light hearted but is much better than getting caught because of the Halloween slayer so make certain you are here by (time of party)!"
Once you have actually happy, or afraid of, your invite it's time to send all of them. Just make every effort to hold a set of every person you provide invitations to in order to tick them down whenever they R.S.P.V. next you'll definitely an excellent concept of the quantity of visitors that will switch up for the Halloween celebration.

Over the last 70 years we have built some strong relationships with our clients. This successful partnership could not been established without the commitment of our people. This is why we have decided to let our employees and clients share their experiences.
"In the past it seemed unreal for an insurer to potentially receive a claim from all clients; at the very same moment caused by the same event. This has become more and more realistic with the emergence of cyber."
Carl Leeman
Chief Risk Officer at Katoen Natie, Vice President at Belrim and board member at IFRIMA
"My experience with AIG started with an excess liability layer in one country 28 years ago. From there we moved to a fronting and excess layer in one country, followed by a manuscript wording -covering different types of liabilities in more than 20 countries all over the globe- some years later. During our expansion from Belgium to the other countries we operate in today, the second country to move in after France was Brazil. A country that, as a second foreign country, should not be underestimated in terms of underwriting. Nowadays, an entrepreneur has to deal with many complex risks. Cyber risk is for example a hazard that distinguishes itself from others. In the past, for an insurer, it seemed unreal to potentially receive a claim from all clients at the very same moment caused by the same event, but this has become more and more realistic with the emergence of cyber.
In my opinion Cyber is one of the biggest challenge for the insurance industry, but also for the rest of the economic world. To keep ahead of changing risks in a rapidly evolving world and economy, while operating in a traditional slow insurance market will be an additional challenge for insurers, although I believe that for a company cyber insurance is not really the first thing to think about while protecting the future of your company. For an insurer spread of risks and 'Economy of scale' will therefore become increasingly important in the future, while an insurer must reduce regional damage as much as possible to prevent a global impact. If a local company wants to survive now, and especially in the future, they have to be able to respond quickly to rapid changing situations."

Complex Claims Adjuster Financial Lines AIG Belgium
"AIG and I share one thing in common: we are both pretty far from retirement. So, for my part, this anniversary is more about the future than looking back to the road we have travelled so far. Children try to understand the world by asking questions like: 'why is the sky blue?', 'why do we have two eyes if we only see one thing?". Some may have experienced these kind of conversations and some may have answered: stop asking 'why', it's too complicated. I am not a kid anymore, but I like to stay a bit naïve. And I have the feeling that AIG has also remained a child. A child who can't stop asking questions about things. This is what someone makes a great leader.
I wonder what the founders of AIG Belgium prospected for 2018. People change. Values remain. As the business evolves, AIG has anchored some core beliefs. And I realize, not only for conducting business, but more broadly with the intention to assess and take responsibility while operating. Prepare AIG for the future. Bring on tomorrow."

Thank you so much for your support during the month of January. A lot of people chose to buy patterns now rather than wait, and as a result, this morning I was able to donate $838.25 to Save the Children.
I know it's better to donate directly, but the thing I think worked well about the Help for Haiti program is that it worked in small increments. A pattern is only $3 to $10, usually, a smaller amount than many people feel comfortable donating, but when it's part of a larger effort like this, your small amounts join up with other small amounts, adding up to a grand total far greater than one you yourself might have been able to give. My $838.25 is a tiny part of the larger Ravelry-wide effort. I know there are mixed feelings, but I'm glad of every chance to combine charity with typical capitalism. I think giving can be quite daunting, even in just a mental sense, but when it's combined with something we were going to purchase anyway, it's a little easier.
I waited until the end of the month to donate the lump sum. My reasoning, perhaps faulty, was this: as the news cycle starts to move on, and Haiti stops being the lead story every day (on CNN as I type it's a political story and a historical one) the donations will slow, but will still be needed. I felt that by waiting, I could not only donate a larger amount, but it would be coming at a time when donations might be slowing.
I appreciate the trust that's been shown by Ravelers. Those of us who pledged to donate did just that: pledge, and the trust had to be a two way street, because we're the ones holding ourselves accountable. I wanted to reward that trust by sharing my Paypal receipt, with phone numbers and address blurred. (And the confirmation number, because I wasn't sure if anything could be done with that.) It's not much, but I thought a little accountability wouldn't hurt.
Yes, my name is misspelled in Paypal. My surname is Hanley Cardozo, but when I typed it in, I missed a letter and didn't notice at the time. Later, I tried to change it and was informed that it's impossible. I'm sure there's got to be a way around that, but since it's only one letter off, I kept it rather than start an entirely new account. When I only used Paypal to pay for items I very occasionally bought on Ebay, it was no big deal, and a useful way of being able to tell when my package arrived ("Ah, my name is misspelled! Must be those widgets I ordered!") but now it's become a little bit of an embarrassment.
Thank you so much for your purchases. I'm going to play around with the math this morning and see if it's possible for me to extend my pledge into February. The quake victims will still be needing help as time goes on.

There's More Bad News For The Eagerly Anticipated Bad Boys 3
Okay, so we knew Bad Boys 3 was already happening, but details had been very sketchy- right up until now that is. Though it might disappoint die hard fans of the franchise.
You thought having to wait 13 years for Finding Dory was bad, well that's nothing compared to this. Having already been waiting that long, fans will have to wait another couple of years for more of Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey's explosive exploits.
According to Entertainment Weekly the preliminary release date has been pushed back to January 2018, marking the third planned release date for the movie, following February 7th 2017 and then June 2nd 2017.
But hey, at least when they do eventually come back their latest adventure will have a familiar ring to it: Bad Boys for Life.
The much anticipated blockbuster has been delayed in part because Will Smith is still wrapping up the filming of Collateral Beauty, a drama he moved onto filming after his part as Deadshot in Suicide Squad.
Sony also has also optimistically scheduled Bad Boys 4 for July 3rd, 2019.
If filming all goes according to plan, Bad Boys For Life will premier at least 15 years after Smith and co-star Martin Lawrence appeared in the last instalment of the Michael Bay directed films.
Joe Carnahan, who is best known for films like The Grey, Smokin' Aces, and The A-Team, will take the reigns for this upcoming film.
Fans first got official confirmation that things were definitely moving forward back in February, when Will Smith said that the movie was 'definitely' happening.
He said:
I saw Martin [Lawrence] a few weeks ago. I haven't seen him for about two years. We just looked at each other. We hugged. In that moment, we knew we were making another Bad Boys. We're definitely doing another one.
Hey, the delay might not be the news everyone wanted to hear, but in the meantime it gives you an excuse (like you need one anyway) to brush the dust of your old VHS and relive those first two films.
