A Study on the Enhanced Strategies for Information Disclosure Deliberative Committees
Choi, Jeong Min ; Kim, You-seung ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 7~28
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.007
This study aims to provide enhanced management strategies for information disclosure deliberative committees in the Government 3.0 era. It confirms that there has been no progress on the committees` management since the implementation of the Government 3.0 policies. On the contrary, certain retrogression aspect on the committees have been discussed. The study suggests the four alternative strategies as follows: First, the committees should be held regularly and exercise their authority for referring to discussion. Second, it must be configured that outside committee members are more than internal committee members. Also, there should not be any restriction so that external members can be a chairman. Third, the committee meetings should be in the face-to-face form in principle. The documentary deliberation could only be allowed if issues are repeated and they are similar. For this type of deliberation, the procedure and schedule should be established and complied to. Fourth, for the effective operation of the information disclosure system, department and staffing in charge are required.
Implementation of Education Program Using Archives of The May 18
Democratic Uprising Based on PBL Model: Focused on High School
Gang, Ju Yeon ; Nam, Yeon Hwa ; Roh, Hyoung Kwan ; Kim, Yong ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 29~54
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.029
This study aims to propose an education program using the records and archives of the May 18th Democratic Uprising, which are large in number and have diverse provenance. The PBL model, which is a basic model for this program, is appropriate for suggesting a number of records and inducing the use of archives. This program is based on the rule of PBL but is divided into two parts: a pre-class level and an in-class level. The archives list for this program is selected from the archives map, which consists of a horizontal axis of provenance and a vertical axis of creation time. The expected effects of this program is to vitalize and expand the use of archives and to inspire a student`s historical thinking. This program is meaningful in proposing a proposed education program using the records and archives of a historical event and the probability to use in a real class.
Layered and Dependent Structure of the Modern Official Documents in Korea and Japan (1894 - 1910): Focusing on the Documents Related with the Strategic Infrastructure Construction of Jeonbuk Province
Kim, Kyung-nam ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 55~86
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.055
This paper aims to interrogate the layered and dependent structure of the modern and official document management in Korea and Japan from 1894 to 1910. The focus of its study is on documents related with the strategic infrastructure construction in Jeonbuk Province through an analysis from the perspective of historic archival studies. For this study, the chosen period was when Japanese imperialists were on their way to seize the Korean official archival system. As such, our objects are the documents connected with the institution of the Japanese resident-general system in Korea and its infrastructural constructions as part of Japan`s war plans of invading the continent. Among others, we examined the documents of the strategic infrastructure construction around Jeonju in Jeonbuk Province by Imperial Japan, in order to wage the Sino-Japanese War and subdue the Donghak Peasant Revolution. More specifically, we illuminate the sources and organization of the approval of the original documents in a higher level that is relevant to the determination of political, financial, and personnel matters, which were designed for the Japanese governmental rule over Korea from the era of the Gabo Reform to the period of the Japanese resident-generals, as well as analyze the actual states of the official documents ina lower level, which were drawn up by Korean government and the resident-general. Consequently, this paper suggests that official Korean archival system at this time must be understood under the context of a layered and dependent structure within the vertical connections between Korea and Japan, and not from the point of view of a national history.
A Study on Exhibition of Presidential Archives Using Storytelling
Lee, Jae-Na ; Yoo, Hyeon-Gyeong ; Kim, Geon ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 87~114
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.087
The Presidential Archives collects and manages both the presidential records and historical archives related to the president which it subsequent provides to the people. Regardless of these special duties that meet the people`s right to know, its awareness and study on the Presidential Archives has not been thoroughly satisfied. It is time to focus on providing service to share and utilize records and archives, as well as for preservation and management purposes. Therefore, this study proposes exhibition methods through storytelling, which is well-known, as it pursues the importance of developing various services for a more efficient usage and promotion of the Presidential Archives. This helps raise awareness about the Presidential Archives, attract group visits of children, and provides a good example for collecting archives and planing exhibitions.
A Study on Activating of the Protestant Church Archives: Focused on Saemoonan Presbyterian Church
Kwon, Mi Jung ; Chung, Yeon Kyoung ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 115~140
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.115
For the efficient management of church documentary for religious reasons, including their historical and cultural values, the church archives should be excellently managed. However, the lack of understanding and consideration of the church records and archives makes it very difficult to have an actual grasp of its status and practical supports, such as budget and personnel, for records management. In this study, literature reviews and current status of domestic Protestant church archives, user survey of Saemoonan Presbyterian church and interviews of church archives records officer were carried out. Based on the results of the study, three parts of the proposed plan of the Saemoonan Presbyterian Archives were suggested. Education, exhibition, publication, and promotion of the church`s archival services will help redirect the roles and values of the archives, which will make it an essential part of the church.
A Study on the Introduction of a Social Media Archive to the Central Government
Lee, Gwi-Yeong ; Kim, Jihyun ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 141~167
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.141
Social media is utilized in both personal and public domains in various ways, with a value on being the recorded evidence of modern day`s culture and history. Recently, social media is being utilized very actively-domestically and abroad-as an organization`s information service domain and as a public communication pipeline. Also, there are case studies released regarding the capturing and archiving of social media records. This research highlights the value that social media has, with an, objective of presenting the implementation of an archival method that captures the social media records in the blind spot of the Central Administrative Organization`s Record Management.
A Study on the Reform of Records and Archives Management System in Japan
Yi, Kyoungyong ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 169~191
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.169
The purpose of this study is to examine the driving forces and main contents of the reform of the records and archives management system in Japan from the 2009 enactment of the Public Records and Archives Management Act. The key essentials of the reform can be explained in two ways. First is through the legal system, a multilayer structure of the law and guidelines to the institutional documents management regulations for an effective application to each administrative institution. The other is the Public Records and Archives Management Commission, a deliberative body that guarantees the rigorous application and enforcement of the rules and regulations. One of the remarkable outcomes from the reform is the compulsory creation of minutes of the countermeasure meetings in government agencies related to the Great East Japan Earthquake Disaster, as well as the various significant cabinet meetings through a revision of the Guidelines for Public Administrative Records Management. In addition, the new construction of the National Archives of Japan and its meaning have been examined. It is being pushed ahead, with the active support of the ruling party members, through activities such as research and review meetings for improving the functions and facilities of the National Archives of Japan.
The Analysis of Educational Effectiveness on Archival Contents for History Education
Shin, Ye-Jin ; Choi, Jae-Hwang ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 193~217
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.193
The main purpose of this study is to analyze the educational effectiveness of historical thinking contents through the experimentation methodology. The procedures of this study will review foreign and domestic historical thinking cases of archival contents for history education; derive some implications from the review; and apply the implications to classes targeted for first year high school students. It can be said that classes utilizing historical thinking contents have beneficial effects on the subcategories of historical thinking, that is, chronology comprehension ability, historical inquiry ability, historical imagination, and historical judgment ability. The average between before and after examination results shows a statistically meaningful difference. In addition, this study shows that students obtain better scores after examination than before.
Tour Program in Archives: Case Study for the Presidential Archives
Lee, Hyewon ; Rieh, Hae-young ;
Journal of Records Management & Archives Society of Korea, volume 15, issue 3, 2015, Pages 219~245
DOI : 10.14404/JKSARM.2015.15.3.219
Archives should promote services to users using various outreach service methods. Although the archives` tour program is one of the effective means of services, there has been few studies on the archival tour program. This study investigated archival tour programs and tried to suggest a desirable tour program, with the Korean Presidential Archives as a case. For this study, four U.S. Presidential Libraries` tour programs were investigated and analyzed. Also, tour programs offered in similar organizations in Korea, such as Kim Daejung Library, Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and National Library of Korea, were analyzed. Current tour programs offered by the Korean Presidential Archives were also analyzed and some limitations were identified. Based on the characteristics of the Korean Presidential Archives, which will be moved to independent building in Sejong City soon, desirable direction to organize tour programs for various user groups were suggested.

SharpEye™ SCV Small Boat Radar
- 12 Sep 2013
Kelvin Hughes will be showing the SharpEye™ SCV (Small Craft Variant) and specialist display technology at the DSEI (Stand Number S4-110) exhibition in September.
Kelvin Hughes will be demonstrating SharpEye™ SCV with a specialist display from SeaCross Marine AB.
Until now, maritime law enforcement, military and naval users, have had to use leisure boat radars in the absence of a professional radar alternative.
Russell Gould, Chief Executive of Kelvin Hughes, said:
“The SCV small boat radar is a very special piece of equipment. Incorporating many of the elements of the SharpEye™ system used on naval platforms. The all-weather radome X-Band radar will, for the first time, bring professional radar performance to the smaller vessel and significantly increase the capability of police and patrol boats, which often need to detect small targets at greater ranges or in adverse weather conditions.”
Kelvin Hughes is seeing a lot of interest in the radome radar, with requests for trial and test opportunities from all over the world, as the industry starts to catch on to this new technology. Its unique features set it apart from every radar that has come before it, with its lightweight, high-performance and durable design.
Kelvin Hughes will also be showing the SeaCross Marine display option for SCV at this year’s DSEI. The display was designed with special forces in mind and when combined with SCV, provides the optimum solution for those vessels requiring more from their radar.
Harald Nilsonne, Managing Director of SeaCross, said:
“Not only can our combined offering give small boat users improved situational awareness; it also addresses some of the more specific issues of operation – such as using a navigation system at high speed in the dark. The combination of Kelvin Hughes’ SharpEye™ radar and SeaCross’ display software is giving small craft a much higher level of navigation capability.”
The SharpEye™ SCV radome is designed for easy installation on radar arches and masts. It has a flexible interface making it possible for the core high performance element of the radar system, the transceiver, to interface with other radar displays. The company offers a SeaCross Marine 15” or 12” fully waterproof and ruggedised console display with a state-of-the-art solid state ruggedised processor.
SharpEye™ SCV provides a robust and reliable solution to improve situational awareness for small watercraft, enabling autonomous vessel operation with informed real-time and local tactical decision making.
A key feature of the technology is the use of pulse compression and Doppler processing to provide superior target detection. The solid state electronics design requires no routine maintenance and, unlike most small boat radars, has no components that degrade with time i.e. a magnetron – so high performance is maintained throughout the long life of the unit.
Another advantage of the SharpEye™ technology is the low peak power of the transmission – up to 80W –compared to anything up to 10kW from an equivalent magnetron radar. This low power, coupled with a precise use of frequency, makes it very difficult for ESM equipment to detect the transmission. The user can also select individual transmit frequencies, power modes and configure azimuth sector blanking to further improve the covert characteristics of the device.
- Resistant to jamming
- Resistant to interference
- Doppler processing
- Fully integrated transceiver, power supply and GPS into the radome
- No magnetron
- Power amplifier dual redundancy
- Concurrent long and short range transmissions
- X-Band / I-Band
Kelvin Hughes and SeaCross
Kelvin Hughes is working with SeaCross Marine AB – another navigation specialist – to provide further surveillance solutions for small boats. The SharpEye™ radar is able to detect the smallest of targets in clutter; targets moving at speed that could be described as agile; and asymmetric threats.
SeaCross has developed a customisable display specially designed for high-speed navigation in littoral and coastal waters. The display and software solution for small boats has numerous special features, notably night vision operation, which allows the user to engage the system in dark conditions.
- User customisation with a ‘save display’ setup, which develops with use.
- SeaCross incorporates a unique set of radar functions and displays that makes radar image understanding and interpretation easy for the less experienced radar user.
- The system is an open architecture setup designed to interface with sensors, utilising a wide range of protocols and standards, and taking inputs such as depth from other sensors around the boat.
- Customisable colour and contract settings for different conditions and light environments.
- Night vision mode for operating the system in the dark.
- Patrol boat
- Life boat
- Hover craft
- Police boats
- Search and rescue
- Military boat
- Fast attack craft
- Landing craft
Kelvin Hughes is now looking forward to showing the new display system for the SharpEye™ SCV radar at DSEI from 10th-13th September.

Teeth whitening is the most popular way to beautify the smile. Having a brighter, whiter smile can greatly boost a person’s confidence and self-esteem. Teeth whitening can be performed in a dental office, with take-home kits from the dental office, or with over-the-counter kits. Regardless of the method you choose, your teeth and gums need to be healthy for you to get the beautiful, sparkling results you desire. The following can mess up the teeth whitening process:
If there is a buildup of plaque on the teeth, teeth whitening will not be as successful. Whitening the teeth when there is plaque buildup will not allow the product to reach the teeth properly. Because of this, whitening where there is plaque can result in uneven color instead of the uniform, sparking smile you are reaching for.
Teeth whitening, whether at home or at the dentist’s office, may bother the gums a little because of the bleach in the whitening solution. Inflamed gums cause much more discomfort during the whitening process, especially in the days after the procedure. Healthy gums are much more resistant to irritation caused by bleach.
Broken Fillings or Cavities
Broken, leaking fillings or cavities can make the experience painful. The bleach in the whitening solution can cause a very painful reaction if it comes in contact with exposed inner tooth structure. The discomfort will be even worse if bleach comes in contact with an exposed, or nearly exposed, dental nerve. If you suspect that you have a cavity or if you have not had a dental exam recently, see your dentist before whitening your smile.
Dental restorations do not respond to whitening products, so will not lighten with the rest of your smile. Because of this, whitening with crowns and fillings can cause a multi-colored mouth. If you do have restorations and you would like to whiten your smile, you may need to have them replaced after the bleaching process is completed.
Feel free to contact our dentist today to learn more about teeth whitening!

Corker Statement on the Death of Kayla Mueller
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, released the following statement today regarding the death of Kayla Mueller, who was killed after being held hostage by the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS).
“As a father of two young women, I cannot imagine the pain and sadness Kayla Mueller’s parents are experiencing,” said Corker. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of this remarkable and brave woman who dedicated her life to providing hope and compassion to those in need. The evil of ISIS knows no border or limit, and we must work together with our allies to be vigilant and steadfast in combatting this evil.”

BOMBSHELL: Ghislaine Maxwell ‘Has Secret Stash of Pedophile’s Sex Tapes’ That Could Implicate World’s Most Powerful And ‘Will Try to Use Them to Save Herself’
Chris Wallace Confronts Pelosi For Holding Hostage COVID Relief: ‘Didn’t You Mess This One Up?’
Antifa Protesters Allegedly Attack Veteran in Wheelchair — Then Learn Lesson They Will Never Forget
Hundreds Gather in Beverly Hills For Pro-Trump ‘Rescue America’ Rally, Encouraging Californians to Walk Away From Democratic Party
Rioters Storm Portland Neighborhood: ‘We Know Where You Live’, ‘We’re Going To Burn Your Building Down’
An indictment made public last week said Maxwell facilitated Epstein’s crimes by ‘helping Epstein to recruit, groom, and ultimately abuse’ girls as young as 14. It also said she participated in the sexual abuse.
She has previously denied allegations against her.
In asking the judge to deny her bail, prosecutors argued she is a flight risk because she has a vast international network of powerful friends.
Maxwell is undeniably connected to some of the world’s wealthiest and most influential people.
For decades, she has been pictured flitting between society parties in New York City and London, posing with actresses, models and tech tycoons, including Elon Musk and Naomi Campbell.
She was so close with former President Bill Clinton, who flew multiple times on Epstein’s infamous Lolita Express, that she attended the wedding of his daughter Chelsea in 2010.
But one of Maxwell’s closest friends is Britain’s Prince Andrew, pictured at his side throughout the years.
In a recently uncovered photo, she posed with disgraced actor Kevin Spacey on Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip’s thrones during a private Buckingham Palace tour organized by the Duke of York.
She was also smiling in the background of a photo taken at her London apartment, where Prince Andrew posed with his hand around the waist of teenager Virginia Roberts Giuffre.
The then-minor claimed she had sex with Prince Andrew under the direction of Maxwell and Epstein. Andrew has vehemently denied all claims against him.

This document, published by the North Munster Irish Republican Socialist Party, is a very useful addition to the Archive and many thanks to M. Ahern for scanning it for and forwarding it to the Archive. As he notes:
Freedom Struggle was produced in 1985 in Limerick City. It was produced by the Costello faction within the IRSP led by many original members of the party who felt that the time had come to fight back against the Maoist politics favoured by some of the leadership. Hence the reference to the politics of Connolly, Mellowes and Costello. The first and only issue was very popular in North Munster. The main reason as to why only one issue was that at that time the Costello faction came under vicious attack by an armed element – nicknamed the Polpot Brigade - wanting to control the INLA . They saw the continued existence of the Costello wing as a threat to their plans. These were the attacks by the O’Reilly wing of the INLA on the remnants of the original INLA whom they saw as a potential threat.( See INLA: Deadly Divisions by Jack Holland and Henry McDonald; 1994.). Among the attacks were an armed attack on Gerry Roche near Shannon, Co. Clare;, an attempt to kill Harry Flynn in Dublin and the abduction and murder of Seamus Ruddy in Paris.
Just to add to that overview, the scope of articles in the document is very broad, from statements on the political orientation of the IRSP, through to issues of interest to those in Munster and those further afield such as the situation facing Armagh Women Prisoners. And given the obvious constraints on the the actual production values are high. M. Ahern notes that:
[The Bottom Dog] had a different production team centred around Joe Harrington. Freedom struggle was produced by the IRSP locally - only a few of whom had contributed to The Bottom Dog at the time it was produced. The production values had more to do with Starry Plough experience and layout development learned from cartoonist/graphic artist Phil Evans formerly of London IS/SWP.

In a sharply worded analysis that will cause fear and trembling in the U.S. cleantech industry, a group of three research and policy organizations have produced a report saying that a cleantech collapse is imminent in this country unless subsidies, incentives, and federal policies are extended and reformed. Entitled “Beyond Boom & Bust,” the lengthy report from the Brookings Institution, the Breakthrough Institute, and the World Resources Institute argues that, according to many indicators, the cleantech sectors have achieved remarkable successes over the last half decade: “Renewable energy generation doubled from 2006 to 2011, the first new nuclear plants in decades are under construction, and prices for solar, wind and other clean energy technologies have fallen while employment in those sectors has risen by 70,000 jobs even during a deep recession.”
Unfortunately those gains are not enough to create a self-sustaining and thriving cleantech industry: “Despite this recent success, however, nearly all clean tech segments in the United States remain reliant on production and deployment subsidies and other supportive policies to gain an expanding foothold in today’s energy markets. Now, many of these subsidies and policies are poised to expire—with substantial implications for the clean tech industry.”
On both the glowing-success and the looming-chasm side, this echoes many of the themes we at Pike Research have been pointing out over the last year, including in this blog on the so-called cleantech bust. The cleantech subsidies provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which are now winding down, are not only the target of withering scorn from the opponents of President Obama, but also generally tend to be viewed differently than fossil fuel subsidies, which have been around so long as to have become an accepted feature of the energy landscape.
Whatever your political or economic point of view, though, there’s one fact that is incontestable: the United States stands to fall far behind other nations in its commitment to new energy technology and new business models for generating and supplying energy. The “cleantech gap” is especially worrisome when it comes to China, which is shaping up to be both an economic and military revival to the United States in this century. But a quick scan of Pike Research blogs turns up this theme repeatedly, whether it’s Denmark pledging to move to 100 percent renewable energy by 2050, smart grid development in Germany, green data centers in Iceland, the United Kingdom becoming a leader in offshore wind power, or the European Union’s ambitious “20/20/20” initiative, which could impose stiff costs to businesses in the short run but is nevertheless an achievement in long-term, non-partisan policy thinking that the U.S. seems structurally incapable of today.
The “Beyond Boom & Bust” report makes several policy recommendations for avoiding the possible decimation of America’s cleantech industry, including “Reforming energy deployment subsidies and policies to reward technology improvement and cost declines,” and “Strengthen the U.S. energy innovation system to make clean energy cheap.” Unfortunately those are the kind of sweeping ideals that tend to gather dust on policy makers’ shelves. And the economic boom being powered, in some regions of the country, by cheap natural gas (which I cover in the current issue of Fortune) makes investment in clean energy technology an even more courageous effort. A bipartisan energy bill that puts in place a far-sighted vision for the future of energy seems, more than ever, like a pipe dream.
There are small signs, though, that at least at the state level, politicians and businesspeople are waking up to the danger of letting the cleantech achievements slide off a cliff. There’s nothing like the loss of tens of thousands of jobs and the erosion of national economic competitiveness to grab people’s attention.

Bob Sampson: Proposed regulations could aid coastal fishing
Every winter, the various components that make up the fisheries world do a dance that is every bit as intricate and complex as the mating ritual of the bower bird, a tropical species that constructs a highly-elaborate nest on the ground, then performs a series of complex movements, occasionally with an offering such as a shell or pebble in its beak to attract a mate.
This process can be like a bower bird’s mating ritual among the three players in this dance: managers, law enforcement and the recreational-fishing public.
Once regulations are hammered out under various guidelines and laws, the package is presented to the state legislature where it is passed, then published in the Connecticut Anglers Guide and posted on the DEEP’s website for the year.
The majority of regulations don’t change much each year. A two-fish-per-day, 28-inch-minimum length for striped bass is a good example of this consistency in the past decade.
On the other hand, fluke (summer flounder) regulations are less consistent and have been changed, or at least closely scrutinized, nearly every winter.
This is where politics often come into play.
On the surface, this is a fair and reasonable way for the federal- and state-level managers to work together in order to find the best solution for the different groups that use their waters. The end result, however, can end up being different regulations for the same species in adjacent states.
Freshwater fishing regulations are more autonomous and determined by individual states based on the biological information they have collected.
In the case of large rivers such as the Connecticut, Houstonic, Pawcatuck, or other rivers or lakes such as Beach Pond, that cross or define state borders, minor problems arise.
Along the coast, however, where anglers may cross multiple state borders in their boats, different and even conflicting regulations can become a nightmare for law enforcement and create confusion among recreational users.
Here’s a hypothetical case: Consider what could have happened last season if three friends who are experienced, law-abiding anglers buy a new boat. They have done a good deal of freshwater fishing and some surf fishing from docks and jetties in both Connecticut and Rhode Island, but have not spent much time actually in a boat on the Long Island Sound or the Atlantic Ocean.
Their new boat is launched at the Bayberry Lane Boat Launch, a mile or so east of the Thames River in Groton.
The wind is blowing over 20 mph, so they decide to do a little fishing inside the river in order to wait for the winds to moderate, so they do some casting for stripers and drift baited jigs for fluke while they wait and catch a couple of 17.5-to-18-inch-long fluke. During their wait, they manage to catch few adult menhaden to use as live hook baits for jumbo stripers and bluefish during their outing.
They arrive at Watch Hill Reef by 9 a.m. and immediately catch a pair of 20-plus-pound striped bass and three medium-sized blues.
When the tide slacks, the stripers and blues stop biting and their live bunker are gone, so they decide to do some fluke fishing along the south side of Fishers Island and catch eight more 18-to-18.5-inchers.
Just as the 10th fluke is measured and placed in the live well out in front of Isabella Beach, they are approached by New York Conservation Officers who measure their catch and issue tickets for catching over the bag limit and possessing 10 illegal (short) fluke.
Even though these fishermen were aware that in Connecticut waters they could possess five fluke, 17.5 inches or larger, and in Rhode Island waters they could possess eight fluke, minimum length 18 inches or more, they did not know that New York regulations only allowed four of each fish, minimum length of 19 inches.
They were caught red-handed and couldn’t do anything about it other than pay their fines.
This hypothetical tale could easily have taken place during the 2013 season, but will be less likely to take place this fluke season.
Fluke regulations are expected to change in the tri-state area for 2014. According to Dave Simpson of the Connecticut DEEP Marine Fisheries Office, what ever those changes might be, they will be nearly, if not totally uniform among the three states.
The state-federal meeting where these regulations will be set for the year will take place in a little over a week. With some good fortune, new regulations should be finalized just days before the deadline the Connecticut DEEP faces to set regulatory changes in time to be printed in the 2014 Connecticut Anglers Guide.
Simpson wouldn’t speculate on what the changes would be. However, he noted that Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York will have the same catch total number, minimum length and season length. He added that the states have some flexibility in determining the exact dates of their respective fluke-fishing seasons.
For example, if states are allowed about 160 days for recreational fluke fishing like last year, one state could begin their season on May 1, while another could begin their season on June 1 (The 2013 Connecticut fluke season ran from May 15 through Oct. 31).
Even though exact season dates may differ by a week or two, length and creel limits for fluke in Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York should be identical for the first time in many years.
The goal is to make all of these regulatory facets uniform between the three states that border Long Island Sound for the sake of clarity. It should reduce confusion for both the anglers who must obey the fishing laws and the conservation officers who enforce them.
Hunting and shooting
This year, as expected following the horrors that occurred in Newtown, there are many regulations being proposed that will affect gun owners. There was too much information to absorb and make into a column. To get a look at some of these bills, visit the website maintained by our primary shooting sports advocate, Bob Crook of the Connecticut Sportsman’s Association.

A Clinical Mobile Strategy Is No Longer a Perk But a Necessity
The mobile technology that we rely on in our day-to-day lives has made its way into healthcare and not a moment too soon. Mobile devices have become an asset to clinicians and are revolutionizing patient care. With the use of smartphones and tablets, clinicians can access patient records, monitor patient vitals, and communicate with team members and patients from any place, at any time. However, there is a catch: Without the right mobile strategy, the technology is useless––or even harmful

I do apologise for the quality of the photography; I’ll be working on getting some new equipment and a better setup in the future so I can take better figure shots, and the semi-gloss varnish I use tends to reflect studio lights somewhat. But in the meantime, here are some ‘beauty shots’ of the investigators, cultists and creatures from Call of the Wild.

With increased accountability for ESG, how can lawyers best advise clients?
Sarah Mentasti and Kim Middleton from Marque Lawyers have discussed the rise of corporate accountability in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) space. Ms Mentasti spoke to Lawyers Weekly about best practice for lawyers when advising clients in light of these developments.
In their article ESG: corporate greenwashing or strategic ethical investing? senior associate Ms Mentasti and partner Ms Middleton noted a drastic shift in corporate focus on ESG over recent years.

Companies are making significant changes in their strategic and financial decisions, they said.
Earlier this month, South32 decided not to proceed with a $1 billion expansion of its Dendrobium coking coal mine to extend the mine’s life into the 2040s.
This is despite clear economic incentives — coking coal is essential to produce iron and steel, with prices up considerably from a year ago.
The company chose not to proceed, citing “expected returns not sufficient to support an investment”.
Ms Mentasti and Ms Middleton speculated that such decisions are indicative that crackdowns on ESG greenwashing are starting to have an effect.
The Australasian Centre for Corporate Responsibility has recently expanded its landmark Federal Court case against Santos over alleged greenwashing in the company’s climate change reports.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) is taking meaningful action regarding climate change risk assessments for corporations, Ms Mentasti and Ms Middleton noted.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) have also made it clear they are targeting greenwashers, they said.
“Investors and the market are watching with keen interest to ensure companies are developing action-based measures to improve not just sustainability but accountability,” they said. “And companies are listening.”
Ms Mentasti spoke with Lawyers Weekly about how lawyers can best advise clients in light of these developments.
“It is important for lawyers across all practice areas to know and understand the importance of ESG compliance and reporting for their clients,” she said.
“Lawyers should keep up to date with news, guidance and standards continually being published by regulatory and enforcement bodies including ASIC, APRA and the ACCC.
“Staying across updates to key pieces of legislation and industry policies is also crucial to allow lawyers to be in a position to advise their clients in a proactive rather than reactive way on the key ESG risks.
“Lawyers need to have a good understanding of the inherent ESG risk factors facing their individual clients — sometimes these are not always readily apparent.
“ESG risk factors can span across a number of different areas ranging from climate change risks and environment management practices through to workplace health and safety issues, human rights and modern slavery, consumer protection and unfair or misleading conduct, and on to directors’ duties, data protection and anti-bribery and corruption practices.”
Ms Mentasti emphasised that it is important to be on the front foot when advising clients and to be able to provide current insights and advice on best practice at a global level.
“As has been seen with the recent spate of corporate greenwashing investigations across the world, clients often need assistance when it comes to identifying, understanding, and managing their ESG risks in a proactive manner before they end up on the wrong side of an investigation or litigation,” she noted.
Ms Mentasti said her firm has seen that clients are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of ESG risk identification and mitigation.
“Investors and consumers are expecting companies to do better, and it is clear this is having a direct impact on the everyday decisions being made by companies.
“ESG compliance and reporting has become a key focus for clients, particularly in light of recent world events. Pandemics, floods, fires, corporate and political corruption, and humanitarian crises have been highlighted the world over.
“These critical issues impacting every facet of society, coupled with the increase in accessibility to 24-hour news cycles and social media, have all contributed to the spotlight being cast firmly on corporations and the actions they’re taking when it comes to ESG compliance,” she said.
This underscores the importance of appropriate ESG management and compliance as a key avenue for achieving meaningful change, she said.
“Companies leading the way and doing the right thing have shown not only that they are listening but that they understand the importance of showing up and being held accountable for their actions and decisions,” she said, “and that’s a really exciting development”.
“Often solving one ESG related issue can cause others to arise, so it’s important to be mindful of that when assisting clients to formulate the most appropriate strategies for their business,” said Ms Mentasti.
“When it comes to disclosures and reporting, clients should be advised to be as forthright as possible.
“Embellishment has no place in climate reports or investor briefings.”
Ms Mentasti said that it is essential for claims to be veracious and backed up in clear and measurable ways, so as to not increase liability for directors.
“Given the heightened focus on ESG compliance right now, there is very little room left to hide when you haven’t got it right,” she added.


Solenoid Valves are used throughout a number of industries, due to the valve’s versatility. Solenoid valves can be used with either fluid or gas applications, making them favourable among a number of manufacturers.
Solenoid valves use an electromechanical magnetic field which opens and shuts the valve, making the valve a reliable option for pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
What are the advantages of Solenoid Valves
Solenoid valves have a large number of advantages, the solenoid valve has been designed and improved over the years, making the valve safer and efficient. The valve can be adapted and installed in a number of locations, making the valve versatile and adaptable to a number of applications.
Another great advantage is the operation of the closing and opening of the valve, with the valve able to open and shut within less than a second. All through an automated control system, which is vital when dealing with high maintenance toxic gasses and fluids. Making the Solenoid Valve a viable option to be used within a number of processes and applications.
Solenoid valve advantages breakdown:
- Fast response time
- Low power consumption
- Remote operation
- Fits in a variety of machinery and applications
- Cheap replacement parts
- Compatible with both DC and AC voltage
- Low and High-temperature usage
- Safety external leakage block
- Can be installed vertically or horizontally
What are the Disadvantages of Solenoid Valves
Every valve or pneumatic application will have its disadvantages, solenoid valves are no exception. Often down to human error, solenoid valves can often experience problems when the voltage feed being passed through is too less or too much. This will cause the magnetic field to either strengthen or weaken. The correct voltage is vital to opening and shutting the valve, if not set correctly it can cause the valve to wear faster causing the coil to break.
Solenoid valve disadvantages breakdown:
- Sensitive to voltage
- The valve can partly close if the magnetic field isn’t set up correctly
- The coil may need to be replaced over the lifetime of the valve
- Control signal must stay on during operation
- Valve fluid can be affected by the flow (pre-valve flow is always greater than the backflow of the valve)
Solenoid Valves at MGA Controls:
MGA Controls technicians have a wealth of knowledge in all types of valves including solenoids valves. If you need any assistance Get in touch today on 01704 779324 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.org.

About 10 years ago we went through the building process in Puerto Vallarta and we’re exploring it again right now. At a minimum, the cost to build in Puerto Vallarta is about $75 per square foot up to about $150 to $200 or more depending upon that level of luxury and finishes.
This is the cost without the land, but please keep in mind that we have a lot of hills and cliffs in Mexico in general, and in Puerto Vallarta in particular. So if you’re building a home on a flat piece of land with a simple concrete slab, your construction cost are going to be a lot lower than if you’re excavating and putting in foundations and pylons into the side of a cliff.
$75 a square foot would get you a lot of concrete, a bit of wrought iron and glass, simple porcelain tile floors, Mexican tile kitchen countertops and bathrooms, simple white Home Depot- or Lowes-style toilets and sinks. $100 to $150 per square foot is going to get you maybe a bit of marble or granite in your kitchen, maybe some wooden doors and cabinets and stainless steel appliances as opposed to white. When you spend in the $170 to $200 per square foot range, you’re talking about pools with slate tiles, custom-honed finishes, marble floors, cantilevered spaces, high architectural designs, etc.
It’s difficult to give an accurate cost of construction comparison between Puerto Vallarta and the US because the US is very diverse. Building a home in San Antonio, Texas is going to cost a lot less money than building a home in New York City. But I would say that overall, building a home in Mexico costs about half of what it cost in most places of the US.

A government department facing massive cuts is wasting thousands of pounds at its new HQ... because the lights cannot be turned off.
Ken Clarke’s Ministry of Justice – which must slash £2billion from its £9billion annual budget – is throwing away cash every day as switches at the Prison Service building in London do not work.
Instead, Clive House uses a central timer, meaning the entire block is automatically lit up for hours whether lights are needed or not.
A source at the Central London site said: “Every light in the place is either on or off. As winter approaches, they’ll effectively be on 24 hours a day.
“The Ministry is facing crippling cuts and it is absurd that it should be throwing money down the drain. It is scandalous. What a joke.”
A spokesman blamed “a control system issue”.

What an amazing week it has been here at Relics & Artifacts®. This week, we had the opportunity to collaborate with another company and show the world just how versatile not only Relics & Artifacts® craft blanks are but how equally versatile the products offered by That's Crafty! out of the United Kingdom are. We were able to work with MDF and acrylic pieces, stencils, stamps and really flex our creative muscles.
We find inspiration and creativity in places we least expect it and in arenas we swore we'd never enter.
All week long, we showcased individual works from each of the Relics & Artifacts® Ambassadors in a parade of creativity, vision, and one of a kind design, like simple everyday items which become intrinsic to our identities and personalities.
We can rediscover our own spirituality or possibly be inspired by another culture's beliefs systems. With art and inspiration, there are no wall, no boundaries.
Thoughtful affirmations struck chords within our hearts and caused us to take a step back and truly believe in the power within ourselves to just reach for the stars.
Poetry married with mixed media breathed new life into the basic substrates laid before us. A vision and a story begin to form and our hearts are unveiled.
Finally, art and the blending of items within our creative arsenal can take us on a journey through time. We can go back to times long forgotten and rediscover the timeless treasure of inspiration.
You see, what this collaboration and celebration of creativity with That's Crafty! has done, is spark a new flame and opened a new realm of possibilities within our own creative selves. We were challenged and thus inspired to look at substrates we would not necessarily have thought to pair with Relics & Artifacts® and breathe new life into not only our creative souls, but our imaginations. From this collaboration came pieces we had not dared to try or ideas that were merely ideas collecting dust in our proverbial rolodex of thoughts.
We hope this week has been as inspiring to all of you as it has been for us. The ladies over at That's Crafty! were a pure joy to partner with and we were honored to work with each of them. Please be sure to visit That's Crafty! today and see what Lynne Moncrieff has in store on this final day of our creativity celebration.
Don't forget to visit each day's post and leave a comment to be entered in our giveaway. A winner will be drawn Monday and will receive **3** sets of Relics & Artifacts® Matte Resin Craft Blanks of their choosing.


Suns’ Deandre Ayton, Igor Kokoskov at a loss for words after embarrassing 1st quarter vs. Kings
The Phoenix Suns faced the crude reality of playing without their two top scorers with Devin Booker and T.J. Warren out of the lineup, picking up a sixth straight loss against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday after being down 36-9 in the first quarter. Head coach Igor Kokoskov and rookie center Deandre Ayton were puzzled at being down so much so early against an up-and-coming squad like the Kings.
“I cant remember, even if I’m trying hard to remember, at any level that I coached and played that I lost the first quarter by 30,” said Kokoskov, according to Gina Mizell of The Athletic. “(We were) completely unprepared mentally.”
Ayton, who had a 10-point, nine-rebound effort in 21 minutes of play, was at a loss for words, echoing his coach’s sentiments and claiming he had never been in such situation or had any idea why the Suns were down so quickly.
The Suns’ top overall pick was outshined by backup Richaun Holmes, who while posting a similar stat line in 22 minutes (10 points, 10 rebounds, three assists), showed a lot more promise, fighting hard on the glass for extra possessions and ensnaring six offensive rebounds in his short stint off the bench.
Holmes is getting more and more minutes throughout the season, as he brings the intangibles Ayton hasn’t so far in his young career. Unlike Ayton, Holmes blocks shots or alters them with frequency, making him a steadier option at the center spot, despite Ayton’s natural scoring prowess.

The experiences of father/man in the development of a child with a complex disabilities
The concept of father undoubtedly changes in society as the still changing attitudes about the "true man". It is noted that the role of the father in the family already covers not only financial stability. In addition, as a disabled child grows up, the family faces challenges both at the value level and in the household.
The purpose of this investigation is to reveal the paternal experience in raising a child with a complex disability. The aim: theoretically analyze the role of fatherhood in society and in the family; to reveal the subjective experience of cultivating a child with complex disabilities; investigate the need for help for a father raising a child who has a complex disability. A qualitative research was chosen to analyse the experiences of father/man in the development of a child with complex disabilities. The selected choice of gathering the data – interview. 7 fathers who have disabled children temporary took part in the study.
This study revealed that the concept of hegemonic masculinity is changing, despite the fact that the definition of a traditional man still has implications for men and men as parents. Also, many fatherhood forms predominate in society, which means that there is no single parenting pattern that suits most parents. As far as parents with a disabled child are concerned, the emergence of a child with a disability in a family changes into a normal life pattern and raises complex requirements. Also, often the birth of a disabled child in a family is equated with a crisis. In addition, a child with disabilities often requires more internal and external resources from the family. From the father's point of view, he helps his mother to take care of his children even more efficiently and successfully, and most importantly, he communicates directly, plays with children and provides them with emotional support.

Charleston favorite and longtime solo artist Mac Leaphart is pumped to be working with a full band again. “It’s been great to have people to bring song ideas or lyrics to,” says the Greenville native. “I’ll show them something and they’ll roll with it, take it their own way, and come up with something that’s probably more interesting. It’s a much more open-minded process than working solo, and we just keep getting better.”
The band, My Ragged Company, is comprised of Wilson Pippin on bass, Reid Stone on guitar and vocals, John Picard on drums, and Charlie Thompson on pedal steel. Veterans of the local band scene, they first started collaborating with Leaphart last year at a Beatles vs. Stones tribute show at the Tin Roof (Stone, Picard, and Thompson were playing at the time as Guilt-Ridden Troubadour). After rocking the Stones all night, they decided to come together as a proper group.
The name is an homage to their origins, coming from the Stones’ classic “Dead Flowers.” And while the band may look a little ragged — in keeping with their outlaw style — they sure don’t sound ragged, moving from rockers to heartbreakers and whiskey laments with the ease of your grandpa’s Prohibition-era honky-tonk heroes.
The guys have been playing together for a year. They can be found virtually every night playing somewhere around town or across the Southeast. Fresh off of a strong run of shows in Mississippi, they’re back in Charleston this Thursday for an opening set with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals at the Music Farm. Somehow, in the midst of their constant playing, they’ve found the time to lay down six tracks for a new album.
“With the last solo album, Line, Rope, Etc., I just made a record I wanted to make,” says the soft-spoken Leaphart. “This time, I’m trying to think about the audience. I’ll use a sports analogy because I like sports; it’s kind of like I don’t want to be some minor league pitcher who has a decent fastball but won’t work on the slider that’ll get him to the majors. We’re evolving, working hard with what we have to make it as good as we can.”
Leaphart’s Waylon Jennings-inspired style was new to Picard, who mostly specialized in funk and reggae rhythms. The drummer has dived into the country music head first.
“I told JP I wanted to play like Waylon, and he started listening to Waylon’s drummer, Richie ‘Short Stump’ Albright, who has a real strong foot and a unique style of hitting the snare and bass almost at the same time,” says Leaphart. “And he studied that and loved it, and now he’s got that same rhythm.”
And playing together almost every night has brought the band fantastic chemistry. They’re so comfortable with each other that they’ll ad lib on stage and confidently go in any direction they want.
“We’re feeling really good as a band,” Leaphart says. “It’s great when you feel like you could put us up on any stage and we could do our thing. You know, like if you put us on stage on the Warped Tour or something, we could rock it. We might get kicked off the stage, but we would feel good about how we played. We’re making the music we want to make, and after years of trying to get to that point, I’m really appreciating that.”
After Line, Rope, Etc., Skope Magazine said of Leaphart that he “may just single-handedly save country music,” but after seeing the whole band together, they may just want to take out that “single-handedly” part.

If you have been an avid listener of any pop radio station for the past few years at least, there is an extremely good chance that you have heard a couple of songs by or featuring Julia Michaels.
Just when you think that she’s done releasing music for a while, she comes back for more, and that is certainly not a complaint. Julia Michaels is a rich and powerful artist with an immense talent for writing and has vocals that are incredibly unique and practically unheard of in mainstream pop music.
One of her biggest hits ever, If The World Was Ending, was released just last year and went on to critical and commercial acclaim. So it’s genuinely surprising then that up until now, she was yet to put out a full studio album. Not In Chronological Order is a collection of tracks that are deeply personal to Michaels and all ten of them have distinctive qualities. When it comes to debut pop albums, few come close to being as promising as this.
The album starts off with All Your Exes, a song that, at first, sounds relatively quiet and almost peaceful. But about thirty to forty-five seconds in the song takes a drastic turn and becomes much more fiery and angry with a strong chorus: “I want to kill all the memories that you save in your head / Be the only girl that’s ever been in your bed / I want to live in a world where all your exes are dead”. Rarely would one say that a pop song is able to give you goosebumps, but this song does. The chilling lyrics accompanied by the ferocious but calm way Michaels sings them make this an immediate standout.
A few of the tracks such as Pessimist follow in the more generalized pop sound, but the track is saved with yet another stroke of great writing and Julia Michaels’s vocals. “Done holding onto myself / You took a pessimist and turned me into something else”, she sings in the chorus.
At times, it is easy to wish that Not In Chronological Order was even just a few minutes longer. Clocking in at only thirty minutes, it’s easily one of the most breezy and light listens in recent months in terms of pop. Although these tracks are definitely memorable and will probably go on to great success, a longer album would have made it stick out just a little bit more.
Don’t worry, though, the album’s closing track That’s The Kind Of Woman is one of the best. Incorporating a different sound than the rest of the album before it, this closer utilizes a nice and smooth acoustic guitar and demonstrates Michaels at her most vulnerable. “If the me I am walked out that door / That’s the kind of woman I’d leave me for”. It’s a deeply contemplative song and the perfect way to close out such a rollercoaster ride of an album.
The vast majority of the tracks on Not In Chronological Order feel extremely close and personal to Julia Michaels. These are tracks that are near-and-dear to her heart, but she was only just now ready to show them to the world. Once you hear this album, you’ll be thankful that she released these ten songs as well.

I have been a very active customer of Alpha Dog for 4 years now, we were introduced through a friend when we purchased our 4 month old Female German Shepherd. We have used all services that Alpha Dog provides and have been more then happy with each service (Training, Daycare, Grooming, Food) Kendra (Owner and Trainer) has played an huge role in the proper training and behavior of our dogs (We now own 3). Kendra will tell you from day one that her training style is done in a military manner. She takes her job very seriously in order to product well socialized, well mannered, and well adapted dogs who can handle being out in society. I have seen some reviews on these sites that "complain" about Kendra and the staff of Alpha Dog and their "Military/Black and White" ways. For me and my dogs Military/Black and White is what I want. I want dogs that respect me and respect others, I want my dogs to be safe and controlled while in public, I want others to be able to enjoy my dogs without them being any danger to others. I have recommended Kendra and Alpha Dog to numerous people, but I always say right off the bat that they always SAY IT LIKE IT IS. They in no way sugar coat anything, because they want to be 100% up front and honest with you. What a lot of people don't know about Kendra and Alpha Dog is that this business isn't all they do, they travel to many animal shelters and offer donated time to help rehabilitate shelter dogs. They have seen the worst of the worst, they have seen what owners have caused by lack of proper socializing and training. All these thrown away dogs are what drives these girls to conduct Alpha Dog the way that they do. I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Alpha Dog, if you want a well trained, socialized, and adapted member of your family then Alpha Dog is the place for you. If you would like to have a puppy/dog that is off the wall and out of control, but you do not want to take any advice from a Certified/Award Winning trainer, then perhaps this is not the place for you.
I have been taking my Mia to Lucky dog for over a year now, and not only has the daycare been exemplary, but she is now regularly groomed there! A+

they are very caring about the animals that are in their care. I love how my dog dose not have to go in a grate and is free to go in and outside and play with the other dogs. She is very happy when Pet Care comes to pick her up for her day at daycare, that really helps me get to work on time. I am very happy and glad that I found a Neighborhood Pet Care to watch my baby girl while I am at work now I don't have to worry about her being alone all day.

Boston Dog Company is an award-winning dog daycare and cage-free dog boarding facility.

It also teaches many dogs, especially puppies, bad habits. We offer cage-free boarding on site and in our staff member's homes (home-style boarding). Our pet suite is 6x the size of a standard kennel run and is the same price as most kennels. We truly care for dogs! We also offer dog walking within most of the Acton and Concord area.

At ruff life we know how rough life can really be. Long work days, business trips and vacations can be difficult for dog owners... and their dogs. As much as we love our dogs and want to be with them, there are times when that's just not possible. We are here to help with our cage free dog fun!
I started teaching while I was the animal officer for the Town of Falmouth because the area dog trainers would not help everyone in need in my community. Having a background with horses and the realization that traditional dog training wasn't preparing people for what they would face in real life, I developed a program that covers all of the bases for success in today's lifestyles. This program heavily centers on teaching all members of the dog's family how to work in unison with their dogs, to understand their dog's limitations as animals and life from their dog's point of view. This program also changes the paradigm about dogs, asking dog owners to focus beyond "rescuing" but to defend their dogs from the miscommunication that runs rampant between people and dogs that when problems arise, the dog is saddled with all of the blame.
Beantown Bed & Biscuit is a luxury interactive walking service, overnight care and day care for your dog. Founded on the principle that a tired dog is a happy dog, we aim to provide a stimulating and fun environment that will become quickly your dogs home away from home.

I offer dog sitting. I treat them as if they were my own. I have 5 dogs and 2 cats. I interview them to check if they gets along with my dogs and if they become one of the pack. They go out often. I have a large kennel with many acres of woods. They can sleep with me in the bed, if so desired.
We offer our services to all breeds of cat and dog grooming. Our dog daycare is Mondays - Fridays, 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Also available are group and private training classes.

We proudly serve Richmond Hill, Queens as well as all of its surrounding areas, and we believe that dental cleanings are a vital step in the process of preventing oral health care problems in the future.
Ask yourself – when was the last time I saw a dentist for a teeth cleaning Richmond Hill? If you answered anywhere over one year, then it might be time for you to stop by Liberty Dental for the dental cleaning of a lifetime. In the everyday hustle and bustle of these modern times, it is not uncommon for people to neglect their teeth. Neglecting your teeth can lead to the buildup of plaque and bacteria that can cause serious issues for your teeth. While there are procedures that can help with all different types of oral ailments, we strongly believe that prevention is the best cure. We want to arm you with the knowledge and resources you need to preserve your perfect smile!
Contact Liberty Dental today to set up your teeth cleaning Richmond Hill! It will not take long for you to see why we have been the area’s trusted dental cleaning experts for years. We are happy to help with any and all forms of dental cleaning, as well as any other procedures that might interest you. With the combined efforts of your diligent dental cleaning and regular check ups with our friendly team, you will have to try not to smile every moment of the day!
Preventive care includes daily brushing and flossing at home, along with two trips to us Woodhaven dentist at Liberty Dental each year for a complete examination and teeth cleaning. Keeping you from suffering the worst consequences of tooth decay and gum disease takes less effort than most people think. And avoiding cavities and periodontal problems is a much better strategy than having to treat them once they have already occurred.
Tooth decay and gum disease are the result of dental plaque, the filmy bacterial substance that grows on teeth and at the gum line. Sugar and starch are catalysts for plaque, so the less you consume, the better the odds are for maintaining optimal oral wellness. You should brush your teeth upon waking each day, and then again at night before you go to sleep. Bedtime is also the most suitable opportunity to floss between your teeth. The goal is to remove most of the plaque you have. Some may manage to avoid the reach of your oral hygiene, though. It will eventually turn to a hardened substance called tartar. The hazards to your teeth from it are the same as with plaque, but you need a teeth cleaning to eliminate it. You’ll get them when you visit our Woodhaven dentist for your six month checkups. In addition to eradicating tartar buildup and residual plaque, teeth cleanings reverse the signs of early stage gum disease, or gingivitis, and halt the progression to advanced gum disease. As part of your check up, our Woodhaven dentist will also detect and promptly fill any cavities detected, thereby preventing them from growing larger and putting you at increased risk for toothaches, infections, and even the loss of a tooth.
For outstanding preventive care, contact our office right now and arrange a visit to see our Woodhaven dentist.
Teeth Cleaning in Richmond Hills
If you want to make sure that your teeth stay cavity-free, and your gums stay healthy, you will want to visit our dental practice, Liberty Dental, for periodic preventive care. The best way to make sure that you keep healthy gums, is to see our dentist, Dr. Milan Gandhi, for periodic dental exams, and to have a teeth cleaning in Richmond Hills every six months.
Keeping your teeth clean and free of tartar, plaque, and bacteria is the best way you can keep your gums healthy. It is also important to have a great at-home teeth cleaning regimen which includes daily tooth brushing and flossing. However, even with the best at home dental care, it is important to have a teeth cleaning in Richmond Hills every six months. This is because a professional dental cleaning will remove all excess tartar and plaque from your teeth. Since tarter is a hard, mineralized substance, it cannot be removed from teeth using a toothbrush or dental floss. And, if tartar is allowed to remain on teeth, it will encourage the development of deep pockets to form between your teeth and gums. Plaque, tartar, bacteria and food debris will all gather in these deep pockets and infection will form. When you see our dentist for periodic dental exams, he can examine your gums to make sure they are healthy. If our dentist sees that you have gingivitis, he most likely will recommend that you have several dental cleanings over the coming months to return your gums to good health. If this is not done, gingivitis may develop into gum disease which will need to be treated with a periodontal scaling and root planing treatment. When gum disease is left untreated, it can progress to a point where teeth become loose and may even fall out. However, it is good to know that this can generally all be prevented when you have periodic teeth cleanings that our dental practice.

Richmond Hills teeth cleaning
Has it been a while since you have visited a dentist? It is generally recommended that you visit your dentist every six months for a comprehensive dental exam and teeth cleaning. Having a dental exam and a Richmond Hills teeth cleaning on a timely basis will offer you many benefits in terms of money saved and reduced health problems.
When you are looking for a great dental office for a Richmond Hills teeth cleaning or comprehensive dental exam, we hope you will come to us at Liberty Dental. We offer the very finest in dental care, led by our expert and highly-trained dentist, Dr. Gandhi. At our practice we work our hardest to provide exemplary dental care at affordable prices. While we provide great general and cosmetic dental services, there is nothing that can replace the importance of periodic dental exams and teeth cleanings. Having periodic teeth cleanings are a great way to avoid gum disease that can lead to tooth loss. Many people have heard that by now. But have you thought about the benefits of visiting your dentist every six months?
Visiting your dentist for checkups twice a year has many benefits. And it can be easy to do when you come in every six months for a Richmond Hills teeth cleaning. Not only will seeing your dentist twice a year help detect gum disease early, but it can also help in several other areas. You will also be screened twice a year for oral cancer. And as with any form of cancer, early detection is an important key to successful treatment. Additionally, any dental problem that is detected and treated early will most likely save you money on future dental problems. A cavity that is detected when it is small is much easier to treat than a tooth that is seriously affected by a large cavity or even an infection requiring a root canal. Dental visits can also alert you to things that are happening in your overall health. Diabetes can cause dental problems including bleeding gums and frequent gum abscesses. Heart disease can show up as inflammation in your mouth. Worn down tooth enamel can point to stress levels being high. And acid reflex or GERD can cause the enamel of teeth to wear down over time. This early detection of medical problems can be key to your getting better and back on the road to good health. If you are interested in seeing our dentist for a checkup, contact us today.
