All turtles must receive immediate veterinary attention when they are sick or injured. In most cases unnecessary pain and injury can be prevented through regular visits to a veterinarian, proper nutrition, and good water quality.
This law is called the Animal Welfare Act. The Animal Welfare Act outlines how people must take care of and act towards animals in New Zealand. The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), the Police and SPCA work together to make sure people in New Zealand follow these laws.
Under the Animal Welfare Act, all animal guardians (owners) are responsible for making sure the welfare needs of animals in their care are met. Learning about the Five Domains helps us to understand these welfare needs and how we can make sure we provide these. One of the Five Domains is Health. In this section you will learn about this domain and how you can make sure your turtle has the right veterinary care to be healthy.
If you have a turtle as a companion animal, or are thinking about getting one, you should know about Salmonella. Salmonella is a type of bacteria that reptiles can carry. It causes an infection in your intestines and will make you very sick.
To avoid Salmonella being transferred from your turtle to you or vice versa, you must wash your hands before and after every interaction. It is also important to wash your hands after handling any equipment that has come in contact with them/their enclosure. It is always best to keep handling to a minimum to keep your turtle’s stress levels low.
Shedding is a natural process that turtles go through and one that should happen without human assistance. Shedding is when reptiles lose their old skin (and shell plates in a turtle’s case!) so that they can continue to grow. Turtles require a dry place outside of the water in order to shed, otherwise they can get fungal infections. You should consult a reptile veterinarian if your turtle is constantly shedding.
As mentioned in the Environment section, turtles need a special UVA/UVB reptile light. This light keeps them healthy. Without this important light, turtles are likely to develop bone disease and shell rot. These lights need to be replaced approximately every 6-12 months and should not be blocked by anything in your turtle’s enclosure.
The signs of a healthy turtle are clear, bright eyes, and smooth skin/shell. If you notice blisters or sores on your turtle, take them to a reptile veterinarian immediately.
There are also signs you should look out for that show that your turtle may be feeling sick. These signs include:
Turtles can also develop illnesses if they do not have a well-planned balanced diet, are over-fed, if their water is not kept clean, and if their heating/lighting is inadequate. Additionally, turtles are vulnerable to eye problems, and ulcers caused by scratches from sharp, rough surfaces. Responsible turtle guardians must monitor their companion animal daily and if they suspect something isn’t quite right, take them to a reptile veterinarian.
Choosing the right veterinarian for your turtle is of the utmost importance. Some vets do not have any experience with reptiles so to guarantee the best possible care for your turtle, it’s best to research qualified veterinarians before seeing one. Turtles don’t just need to go to the veterinarian when they’re sick, they should have check-ups 1-2 times a year as sometimes signs of illness can be missed.
When taking your turtle to their reptile veterinarian, you need to place him/her in a ventilated container. If the journey is short, it’s okay to place them in the container with a dry towel. If it’s going to be a longer journey, a damp, moist towel is the best choice, along with a heat pack. Be sure that your turtle does not get too hot or too cold and keep transport as short as possible to avoid stress.
Proper handling is important for your turtles health as it can help reduce the risk of accident/injury.
The best way to pick up at turtle is using both hands, one on each side of their shell in the middle of their body. As a general rule, turtles should not be handled more than is necessary. They are the kind of pet that enjoy being looked at, but not being touched.

* Dollar near eight-month low on ongoing U.S. government shutdown
* Dollar bounces from 1-1/2-year low versus Swiss franc
* Prolonged U.S. government closure could postpone Fed tapering
* Euro falls from eight-month high, minor setbacks seen
By Julie Haviv
NEW YORK, Oct 4 (Reuters) - The dollar rose against a basket of major currencies on Friday after five straight sessions of losses but remained within striking distance of an eight-month low hit the previous day, as the U.S. government closure continued.
The shutdown of the U.S. government appeared likely to drag on for another week and possibly longer as lawmakers consumed day three of the shutdown on Thursday with a stalling game, and with no end in sight until the next crisis hits Washington around Oct. 17.
Oct. 17 is the date Congress must raise the nation’s borrowing authority or risk default, and members of Congress now expect it to be the flashpoint for a larger clash over the U.S. budget as well as President Barack Obama’s healthcare law.
The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the greenback against six major currencies, last traded up 0.3 percent at 79.994, but not far from Thursday’s eight-month low of 79.627. The euro, which traded weaker, dominates the composition of the index.
The greenback’s gains were pronounced against the Swiss franc, rebounding from a 1-1/2 year low reached the previous day. The Swissie was weighed by news that Switzerland’s financial markets regulator is investigating several Swiss banks in connection with the possible manipulation of foreign exchange rates.
“So far markets have mostly treated (the government shutdown) as a U.S.-centric growth shock from fiscal/confidence effects, rather than as a tail-risk shock to market risk,” said Dan Dorrow, foreign exchange strategist at Faros Trading.
“The present state of things is emerging market risk-positive as it keeps hyper-accommodative Federal Reserve stimulating flows into emerging markets,” he said.
The euro fell 0.3 percent to $1.3584, but not far from a peak of $1.3645 reached on Thursday, which marked its highest since February. It has risen nearly 0.5 percent on the dollar so far this week.
Analysts predicted minor setbacks and some consolidation for the euro going into the weekend after its recent ascent. Real money accounts were cited as main sellers of the pair taking it below the $1.3600 mark.
“No one wants to touch the dollar while we have uncertainties regarding the U.S. government shutdown. We also had a disappointing service sector number and that also added to the negative dollar sentiment,” said Niels Christensen, FX strategist at Nordea.
The government shutdown has led the U.S. Labor Department to delay the employment report for September, which was scheduled for Friday. No new date was set for the release of the data.
Thus, any confirmation of an improving labour market that the Federal Reserve wants to see before cutting its stimulus will likely be delayed, hurting the dollar. Two senior Fed officials said monetary policy was being kept easier to help offset the harm caused by political fighting.
“Those who have been expecting (Fed tapering) in October should be having a bit of panic now. Those who have bet on December may be worried too,” said Katsunori Kitakura, associate manager of market making at Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank.
Meanwhile, the resolution of Italy’s latest political crisis, the European Central Bank refraining from any immediate policy action to help the economy, and this week’s data all supported the euro this week.
But Sara Yates, global currency strategist at JPMorgan Private Bank said the prospect of the Fed eventually trimming its bond purchase program could push benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury yields to 3.0 percent or higher next year and support the dollar.
At the same time “sentiment towards Europe will likely improve but the ECB will stand ready to ease policy to stop financial conditions from tightening too much,” she said, adding in such a case the euro could target the $1.28 mark.
The dollar was down 0.1 percent against the yen at 97.14 yen after the Bank of Japan kept rates on hold as was widely expected.

Summer, 2014. Versailles. Boyhood. Road trip.
That’s a possible tagline description of Microbe & Gasoline (Microbe et Gasoil), Michel Gondry’s low-key, coming-of-age ramble through the French countryside by a pair of 14-year-old boys. This is not your usual flight of fancy that Gondry fans are wont to expect. The visual trickery that has embellished his music videos (The White Stripes, Björk) and such features as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), that Oscar-winning (original screenplay), bold love story from the mixed-up – in a very good way – mind of Charlie Kaufman, or The Science of Sleep (2006). More recently he opened our minds to the brilliantly designed musical fantasy Mood Indigo (2013), a colorful drink of an alternate universe set in the Bronx. That film’s star Audrey Tautou (Amelie) is back in a supporting role in this 2015 French-language film now reaching American theaters in an English-subtitled version.
While Gondry has jettisoned his usual whimsical spin on reality, and the curious contraptions that populate some of his outlandishly enjoyable films, such as a piano(c)ocktail or a memory-erasing machine, his new film, for the most part, is a straight-forward tale of two runaways and their home-built house-car that takes them from Paris to the backwaters of France.
While I always feel his films are distinctly stylized, Microbe & Gasoline is conspicuously personal, without the pizzazz. The director-writer’s life is embodied in young Daniel Guéret a.k.a. Microbe (for his diminutive stature), a talented young artist and restless middle child in Versailles. He’s anguished by a growing uncertainty about his masturbatory skills (or lack there) when he’s not being confused for a girl because of his longish hair. As part of the local reject crowd, he suffers at the hands of the school bully. He’s counseled by his hyper-sensitive, easily depressed mother (Tautou) that the nudes he draws (and hides under his mattress) are better than his works a local art dealer placed on her gallery walls.
His new best friend is Russian émigré Theo Leloir, a class clown, mechanical magician, and son of an antiquities dealer. He’s straight out a Brando movie, with motorcycle jacket and unruly hair. He helps his brutish dad fix his car, often absorbing the scent of fuel. Hence his nickname Gasoline.
Together, they’re outcasts (and teenagers), ready to conquer the world. Theo’s the optimist, pushing his partner out of moments of funk. Never give up, never surrender! (to quote Galaxy Quest)
What wonderful luck that Gondry found Ange Dargent and Théophile Baquet as his muses. Dargent had only acted on stage, and Baquet had been on screen in a small role in the 2011 French film War of the Buttons (La nouvelle guerre des boutons), based on Louis Pergaud’s oft-filmed novel. He has acting in his blood, though, as the grandson of actor-cellist-skier Maurice Baquet, and son of Alexandra Gonin (actress, casting director) and actor Grégori Baquet. Even with this pedigree, Gondry insisted that the lad was found at the entrance of a school by his casting directors.
The boys, thick as thieves, decide they can take a broken down old lawnmower motor and make it work. Next up? Build a car, or something like it. Well, actually, nothing like it. They realize that their initial junk-mobile wouldn’t get the French seal of approval from its MVA. But, by building a small house/garden shed structure on top of the low-powered frame, they can always pull off the road, flop down a levered set of wooden boards, and pretend to be, well, a cute little house.
As the film reaches its midpoint, they take to the off roads at the start of summer vacation, filled with confidence, exchanging nicely written dialogue and campfire stories as they head along mostly flat streets (anything more than a slight incline forces one of them to push). A schoolyard crush has forced one of them to fib about their destination, but their misguided, episodic adventures find them meeting up with a dentist and his wife, empty-nesters who put them up until the boys freak out over the Shakira posters on the wall. They butt heads with a group of bullies who give chase after an aborted haircut in a Korean massage parlor. There’s also some police and a last hurrah in the village of Auroux-en-Morvan.
There’s more than a little luck and happenstance tossed in here, but Gondry, of course, is known for his fantasies. Microbe & Gasoline‘s nostalgic adventure ride provides a nice diversion for the director’s usual whimsies. Like the film’s home on wheels, should you strip away its roof, the small scale frame would reveal a very large heart.

NASCAR recently formed a partnership with the Dayton School of Business (DSB) Sport Management Program as an official Collegiate Sales Partner. Students in the Sport Marketing class (SPM 340) receive sales training from NASCAR employees, with top performers receiving interviews for internship and full-time job opportunities.
“This partnership allows students a behind-the-scenes look at what a career in ticket sales may look like both at NASCAR and across the sports industry,” said NASCAR’s Senior Regional Group Sales Manager Nic Lash. “Together through the NASCAR University partnership with Asbury University, we are investing in each individual’s career development and exposing more new fans to the sport of NASCAR.”
Class sessions involve group ticket sales, successful seller traits, the sales process, prospecting, and closing the deal, among other topics covered. This semester, the Sport Marketing class sell tickets for the Toyota Care 250 and the Toyota 400 Series.
“Hands-on projects are crucial to building the skills, knowledge, and confidence of our students,” Michelle Smith, assistant professor of sport management at Asbury University, said. “For NASCAR’s 75th Anniversary celebration, this class began selling group tickets to the Richmond Raceway in Virginia on February 27 for the upcoming Toyota 400 race.”
Students in the class express their excitement to work alongside NASCAR.
“Partnering with NASCAR already has taught me so many real-world experiences within the business world,” Emily Janszen ‘25 said. “I have learned so many valuable lessons from Nic Lash.”
“Working as an Asbury Athletics Intern while taking this class has helped me to build my network,” Madie Boehnlein ’24 said. “I’m very thankful for the staff and faculty here at Asbury and their drive to prepare us students for what we might face in the real world.”
“We understand that we are part of something greater than ourselves,” Lash said. “By partnering with schools through NASCAR University, we are aligning with the next generation of sports leaders to further their development into respective careers while uplifting them to opportunities within NASCAR.”
In addition to partnering with NASCAR, the Sport Marketing class will develop a career fair (for DSB students) scheduled for Tuesday, April 11, 2023, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. in the Shaw CLC Luce Auditorium. Previous participants from last year’s career fair included: Crowe LLP; Dean Dorton; Ernst and Young; Awesome, Inc.; Lexington Legends; Robert Half; State Farm; LandCal; Chick-Fil-A Corporate; Total Quality Management; Kort Physical Therapy; Dick’s Sporting Goods; First Southern National Bank; and ULS Soccer. In the fall, the Event Management class (SPM 320) will develop and organize a golf tournament at the Lexington Griffin Gate Marriott Golf Resort & Spa.
The DSB offers five majors (accounting, business administration, finance, marketing, and sport management), five minors (accounting, business, entrepreneurship, marketing, and sport management), the Master of Business Administration program, and the Online Business Management program.

Arizona has long been a place where women could break barriers and serve as pioneering leaders at all levels in the community.
For 30 years, the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce has recognized the profound impact of female leaders in Phoenix. Women, including the 50 ATHENAs honored during the past three decades, shape Phoenix every day through their work in industry and in the community.
“All the ATHENA women, I’m so impressed and inspired by you,” said 2017 ATHENA Young Professional Recipient and General Manager of the Southwest Region of Lyft, Drena Kusari Berisha. “I’m uplifted by the great work you’re doing in the Valley and beyond.”
By forging a path for themselves, and others, women—like all of the ATHENA recipients—have built an innovative city and greatly contributed to keeping Phoenix united as a community focused on growth, strategic development and a quality of life that is inclusive of all people.
One woman working toward this goal is the 2017 ATHENA Public Sector Recipient, Michelle Just. Just, the CEO & President of Beatitudes Campus, shared her heart and her purpose with 700 people at the ATHENA Awards.
“It is a pleasure to serve,” said Just. “Together we are definitely making a difference in how Phoenix sees aging, and what it means to grow old in this city,”
Women, like Berisha and Just, play a vital role in moving Phoenix forward. Women lead in so many ways, all of which help to make the community stronger.
Mi-Ai Parrish, the 2017 ATHENA Private Sector Recipient, accepted her award by defining ATHENA and spoke to the importance of women in business.
“The Athena Award made me think about Athena and how she so aptly represents one of the most powerful things about women,” said Parrish. “She was the goddess of war and of wisdom. A contradiction that is meaningful and powerful and feminine.”
In her acceptance speech Parrish, the President of Republic Media, alluded to how those contradictions are what make women economic powerhouses.
“We are told so many times in the course of our days, of our weeks, of our lives, that we can’t be these things at once. If you have to do tough things, you can’t do them in a kind way. If you want to move up, you can’t help those next to you,” said Parrish. “I’m here to say that’s not true. And that’s my secret for you. That’s our power. That’s our magic.”
It is through the hard work and dedication of women that Phoenix has flourished. From female-led companies and to groundbreaking women who have conquered challenges in business and government, it is women in business and in the community who are moving Phoenix forward.

The Apple iPhone is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and to mark this huge achievement, the Cupertino Company has some interesting plans for the 2017 iPhone 8, at least according to the latest rumors.
In order to keep the competition bars as high as possible, the tech giant will reportedly be introducing some of the features that have propelled the Android world to where it is now. Talk of OLED screens, wireless charging, IP certification and much more. The iPhone 8 has months before it is finally unveiled, but talk of the phone is already boiling up, especially now that that the first mobile tech show of the year is just weeks away. With this in mind, here’s a look at the 8 surprises to look forward to come September 2017.
AMOLED display screen
It has been rumored before that Apple will finally ditch LCD panels in favor of AMOLED screens. Well, the iPhone 8 should be the first to come with this technology. This means that users will enjoy deeper blacks, brighter whites and brilliant colors while at the same time keeping the battery consumption rate as low as possible.
It has been rumored that the iPhone 8 will get a curved screen like the Galaxy S7 Edge, something the latter’s successor will also be coming in with a few weeks from now.
All-new Home button
Unlike in the past where Apple iPhones have featured a physical Home button, there will be something new on the iPhone 8. Apple will completely re-engineer the button and make it part of the display screen. The home button will somehow keep the Touch ID while at the same time work hand-in-hand with a new Taptic Engine, thus giving back precise feedback with each press. Users will also be able to tweak this feature to their own preference.
Dual lens 16MP camera
Apple has always kept its smartphone cameras’ megapixel count as low as possible, with the current iPhone 7 Plus having 12MP+12MP on the back. Well, according to reports, the new iPhone 8 Plus will ship with a 16MP+16MP dual-lens camera on the back with an even better f/1.7 aperture. This snapper will be capable of 4K video recording, same as the standard iPhone 8, but the latter will keep the single-lens setup on the standard iPhone 7.
There will be a third variant known as iPhone 8 Pro. Like the iPhone 8 Plus, the former will also come with a dual-lens camera setup on the back as well as OIS, among other features. Apple is said to be working on including a quad-LED true tone flash on the main camera, but the front snapper might keep the 8MP HD sensor that debuted with last year’s models.
Three models with six color variants
There have been talks of an iPhone Pro model since the days before iPhone 7 was launched. Now, this has once again surfaced, with reports claiming that the 2017 Apple iPhone will come in three models. We’ll have a standard iPhone 8, an iPhone 8 Plus and as noted earlier, a third model known as iPhone 8 Pro. In addition to silver, rose gold and the new jet black color variants, this year’s models will also get a new jet white, space black, and a polished gold finish.
iPhone 8 Pro and Apple Pencil
The introduction of the Apple iPhone 8 Pro is not just for the sake of having more units to sell, but there are some real differences here. Apparently, the new model will be opening into a new world of creativity thanks to the supported Apple Pencil. The phone will be sensitive to pressure to allow users easily come up with a varied set of artistic designs – similar to what happens with conventional pencils – however, this one will give you a pixel-perfect precision.
Apple wants to bring in a device that will make Samsung Galaxy Note 8 sweat for its money when it is eventually unveiled. Samsung has had zero competition with respect to the Galaxy Note series, especially when it comes to the S Pen, but it seems Apple is finally putting together something that can take on the phablet head-to-head. LG has tried getting there with the Stylo series, but it hasn’t managed to hit the same heights as what the Note series from Samsung.
Samsung launched an iris scanning technology with the Galaxy Note 7. This was amazing, but many did not get a chance to use it as the phone did not last long. Apple may take this direction with the iPhone 8. This is an additional security and privacy layer that promises to work with contact lenses (clear), non-mirrored sunglasses as well as eyeglasses. This feature will let you unlock your phone in a hassle-free manner as well as authorize Apple Pay transactions.
Faster and more efficient USB-C
If the latest rumors are to be believed, Apple iPhone 8 will come with the latest USB-C port. This is faster than microUSB 3.0 and in fact, it can reach 10GB/s when transferring files. When compared to USB 3.0, you get transfer speeds that are 2x faster, but it is 20x faster than USB 2.0.
Apple did away with the 3.5mm headphone last year and it is expected to continue with the iPhone 8. This means that users have to depend on the USB-C port for audio listening via their earphones. It also means that one cannot listen to music via the wired earphones when charging the phone. Well, there is a way out with the upcoming iPhone 8. As it is, the Cupertino Company will introduce a new wireless charging technology that allows charging of the phone from as far as 3 meters.

International Literacy Day is celebrated annually around the world to promote the importance of literacy as a matter of dignity and human rights.
For Madlyanne, today is just like any other school day. She wakes up at five o’clock, packs her bag and by six o’clock has left her house to arrive at school before classes begin. The first thing this seven-year-old does is read.
“While waiting for my teacher to start the lesson, I spend time reading books,” she said.
The reading books are colourful and written in simple language making it easier for children like Madlyanne to read. Most of the stories are about everyday life in Papua New Guinea so children can easily relate.
Madlyanne and over 2,000 other children from 50 elementary schools in Madang District are now able to access reading books and other learning materials thanks to the support of the Australian Government through the PNG-Australia Partnership.
Madlyanne dreams of becoming a pilot when she grows up, but for now her top book takes her deep into the ocean.
“I love reading and my favourite book is ‘Betty Likes Sea Animals’ because I learn about different sea animals,” she said.
International research suggests that children can more easily gain meaning from text when they create mental images because a visual display helps readers understand, organise and remember some of the one thousand words they need, to become fluent.
Madlyanne’s mother Martha said that since her daughter started reading, her interest in books has grown and she now reads a lot at home.
“My daughter can now read books and count numbers up to 100 – I am very pleased” she said proudly.
Madlyanne has her feet on the ground, but her imagination is ever-expanding in books – and that’s the best way to be.
Madang is one of three Districts in Madang Province benefiting from the Together for Education (T4E) project implemented by World Vision and its partners Consultative Implementation and Monitoring Council, Child Fund, Library for All and the University of Canberra.
T4E is funded by the Australian Government in Partnership with the Government of PNG.

The era of 5G is nigh
As the era of 4G, or LTE, is hitting its zenith, large telecommunications companies and infrastructure vendors are already gearing up for the next standard. The growth of mobile telephony remains strong worldwide, and Cisco predicts that by 2021, 5.5 billion people will be using mobile phones, i.e. 8 out of every 10 people on the planet! Cisco also predicts that for the same period, mobile data traffic will increase seven-fold worldwide and by a factor of five in Canada, for an annual growth rate of 36%.
And that means it’s upon us
The growth of data consumption is also a result of the proliferation of connected devices, in other words the Internet of Things. Just think of self-driving cars, which run on data and will need streams of it to make on-the-spot decisions.
In 2016, large telcos tested 5G networks in Canada and abroad, and some, like AT&T and Verizon, plan on deploying them in key markets this year. By simultaneously using bands of different frequencies, data rates can be magnified; for example, Bell and Telus tests in Canada showed 5G rates 6 times higher than 4G.
Qualcomm, who, along with Intel, is the largest supplier of modems for mobile devices, recently announced what will be the keystone of the 5G network: 5G NR (“New Radio”). NR is capable of adapting to a wide range of frequencies, while dramatically lowering latency, or connection time. This technology offers several advantages, most notably the ability to re-use existing cell towers by combining frequencies, allowing operators to deploy their new 5G networks that much faster – and at a lower cost.
Qualcomm’s new technology already enables higher speeds on existing LTE networks, which, at 1.2 Gbit/s, is much higher than anything currently available to households. And when the 5G network is deployed, rates could reach a quasi-mythical 45 Gbit/s.
Capacity vs. speed
For the time being, capacity, rather than speed, is at the heart of development efforts. Qualcomm’s Chief Technology Officer, Matt Grob, is currently testing scenarios where over 100,000 devices are simultaneously connected in a single city block. "We want to yield hundreds of megabits in an application even when a system has multiple users ... and also support very dense use cases”, he said.
Just think of all the thermostats, light bulbs, city infrastructures and sensors that could soon be connected… you get the picture. Hence the need to plan infrastructure capacity today to meet the data demand of tomorrow, which is bound to grow exponentially – even if human-based demand stands still. Not for nothing did Aicha Evans, Corporate Vice-President and General Manager for Intel’s Communication and Devices Group, talk about the era of 5G in prophetic terms: “The machines are coming”.
The technology isn’t quite cast in stone yet for very large-scale deployment; in fact, the final specifications for 5G (Release 15) won’t be released until September 2018, according to 3GPP, a standards-setting body. But 5G should be widely available by 2020, with Ovum analysts predicting 24 million 5G subscribers by the end of 2021.

Fonterra released its interim results last month, showing a continuation of the strong earnings performance delivered by the co-op through the 2023 financial year. Here’s what Fonterra chair Peter McBride and chief executive Miles Hurrell said about the results…
“Without being certified and in a family like Fonterra other dairy farmers would struggle to get a record result,” Hoare told Dairy News.
“Those in the Fonterra team need to be congratulated.”
The dairy co-op’s organic farmers have become the first in the country to receive a double digit milk payout: its 60 organic suppliers, last season, have set a record price for cow milk in New Zealand at $10.19/kgMS.
Fonterra’s global business manager organics Andrew Henderson says the final price was driven by a combination of factors – including organic protein sales in the US, a favourable exchange rate and a number of efficiency improvements right across the supply chain.
He says the record result is a culmination of work put in by a wide group of people.
“It starts with the effort of our organic suppliers to meet and exceed organic certification standards,” Henderson told Dairy News. “Then it’s the endeavours of our transport, manufacturing, sales and marketing teams who all help make the most of that milk to drive returns and deliver value to the co-op.”
Hoare, a former chief executive of Organics Aotearoa, is contracted through Buy Pure NZ to undertake OANZ’s 2020 Organic Market Report. The results of this will be published in early 2021.
“We expect this result to remain positive and continue to demonstrate that organic is the fastest growing multi-food sector in the world,” he says. “NZ is extremely well placed to truly capitalise on this opportunity.”
He cautions that being from NZ is an advantage but says this alone is not enough.
“Global customers are demanding authenticity and measured outcomes,” Hoare adds.
“Communicating clearly that being certified organic from NZ actually means you are also certified: grassfed, non GMO, hormone and antibiotic free, follow additional animal welfare standards, contribute to critical factors like biodiversity are all what customers and buyers want to hear and be assured of.”
Hoare believes with a payout of $10.19, there will be plenty of interest from other farmers. However, he adds that it is important to stay focused and get it right.
“While the sector truly welcomes renewed interest in our healthy soil, food and people maxim we have been espousing for 70 years, we have real work to do to go to scale and get the transition strategies right.
“For example, we have the Organic Products Bill to work through. It affects the whole supply chain, so will take the right leadership to maintain momentum now and well into the future.”
Hoare claims that in countries like the US, family farming has been decimated and overtaken by corporate models. Organic is no exception.
“This does not sit well with buyers’ customer base who recognise that the true cost of food supports family farmers to get good returns for honest work that protects the social fabric of rural communities and the environment they gleam their livelihoods from.
“Being certified organic assists this and a Fonterra being a cooperative gives value back to its shareholders – in this case dedicated, certified organic farming families.”
❱❱ Fonterra organic milk payout 2019-20- $10.19/kgMS
❱❱ 2020-21 forecast payout- $8.50 to $9/kgMS
❱❱ 74 suppliers this season
❱❱ Fonterra’s organic suppliers are based throughout the North Island, with most of the milk processed in Waikato.

The High Court has reduced a claim for costs in a family case by 90% because the sum spent was disproportionate to the simple legal issue raised.
In K v K  EWHC 2002 (Fam), Mr Justice MacDonald said it was “difficult to imagine a more straightforward legal point than the one that arose in this case” – namely that the English court did not have the jurisdiction under the Hague Convention to register a Russian court order relating to a divorce because, at the time the order was made, the convention was not in force between England and Russia.
Overturning a district judge’s decision to register the order after an appeal by the father, he said: “The submission that it required in total £38,813 of costs to inform the mother’s then solicitors in correspondence of this single, irrefutable point, to draft a notice of appeal setting out this single, irrefutable point once the mother had declined to abandon her application and to attend court to argue this single, irrefutable point on appeal is one that, I am afraid, is not realistic and does not reflect the straightforward and indisputable nature of the sole legal point in this matter.”
He said the mother had acted unreasonably even though initially she had issued her application after receiving erroneous advice from her then solicitor, because soon after she was “placed on notice by correspondence from the father that her application plainly had no merit” and was then similarly advised by junior counsel. “Still it took the mother nearly a month to concede. Thereafter, the mother refused to compromise on the issue of costs notwithstanding the position I have outlined.”
Saying it was appropriate to summarily assess the costs, MacDonald J said that “the costs claimed by the father do not bear a reasonable relationship to the level of complexity of the subject litigation and the amount of work reasonably required to conduct and present the father’s case proficiently having regard to all the relevant circumstances”.
Looking at the heads of costs, he reduced the claimed hourly rates – most notably from £550 to £325 for the grade A fee-earner – and allowed one rather than three hours for attendance on the client.
“With respect to attendance on opponents I am likewise not satisfied, given the simple and singular nature of the point in issue, that it was proportionate to expend 13.3 hours on letters and emails out and telephone calls. It was plainly necessary for certain letters to be sent setting out the father’s case before an appeal was issued, chasing the mother for a response and notifying the mother that the appeal had been issued and corresponding in respect of the impending appeal hearing. While the first of these would have taken some time, the remainder would have taken very little. I am prepared to allow one hour for the grade A fee-earner and 0.5 hours for the grade C fee-earner, amounting to £425 as against a claimed sum of £3,997.”
The attendance on others was not particularised and so he disallowed the entire £2,341 claimed, and was similarly unhappy with the lack of detail on the £9,352 claimed for work on documents. “Further, and in any event, given the simple and singular nature of the point in issue, where the letters required to be written to the other side are dealt with elsewhere and where counsel drafted notice of appeal and documents for the hearing, there was in my judgment no requirement to spend significant periods of time working on documentation. I am prepared to allow one hour for the grade A fee-earner, amounting to £325.”
MacDonald J continued that it should have been a grade D fee-earner, rather than grade A, who attended counsel at the hearing, while “in circumstances where the father’s solicitors occupy premises in the immediate vicinity of the court, the figure for travel and waiting is disproportionate. I am prepared to allow 0.5 hours travel and waiting time for the grade D fee-earner, amounting to £62.50 as against a claimed figure of £4,850”.
He also slashed counsel’s fees for advice and the hearing, while emphasising that no criticism of him was intended. The overall figure allowed was therefore £3,737.50.
The judge concluded: “The stringent test of proportionality in relation to costs incurred applies with equal force in family proceedings. It is remarkable that such a significant sum of money has been spent by these two parents [the mother had spent £22,800] arguing over a single question the answer to which was indisputable from the outset.”

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — History was made in Buffalo on Saturday when the Navy’s newest warship was commissioned next to its namesake. It’s a once in a life time experience crews will cherish forever.
“It’s been overwhelming. The town, both the contingent from Little Rock and Buffalo have gone above and beyond it’s more than we could ever hope for and the crew has had the time of their lives they’ll never forget it,” said Commander Todd Peters.
An experience made all the more memorable by chilly December Buffalo weather.
“It’s been an adjustment. Most of us have lived in Florida for a long time, some of the sailors had never seen snow prior to getting to Wisconsin a few months ago. So it’s been a challenge. I know my core pit has been busy trying to keep the crew healthy,” said Commander Peters.
The USS Little Rock was initially going to set sail Tuesday, but mother nature delayed those plans to Wednesday.
“There’s some predicted high winds and so even if we were to get underway we probably wouldn’t be allowed to enter the Welland Canals so we’re just going to wait for the winds to die down,” said said Commander Peters.
More than 50 sailors will man the ship as the core crew, preparing for a long voyage ahead.
“The transit through the Welland Canal in the St. Lawrence Seaway is probably some of the most challenging navigation any of us will ever do,” said Commander Peters.
Of the memorable longer than expected stay in the Queen City, Commander Peters says the hospitality is something he’ll never forget.
“The opportunity to be welcome into the city and meet the citizens and interact with them and to see how well the sailors have been treated by everybody has really been the part that is going to stick with me the most,” said Commander Peters.

My Grandad always used to say, “Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves.”
He was obviously English and referring to the British monetary system but the concept is clear no matter which currency it’s applied to: Little amounts saved can add up to a lot. And that can make a big difference when it comes to meeting not just your financial goals but personal goals as well.
The inspiration for this post actually came in the form of a credit card statement ~ when I realized my interest rate had just TRIPLED for no apparent reason.
I never used to really understand or pay much attention to how the credit industry worked. I never really felt I needed to because I almost always paid the entire balance during the grace period so I didn’t have to pay interest or late fees or over-limit penalties. I also never used to ask questions. I just assumed there was a good reason for the changes, that it was my fault, and that I, a lowly borrower, was powerless to do anything about it. Remember The Golden Rule?
Well, not anymore. I’ve taken a keen interest in everything credit-related over the last few years, especially with the Great Recession and as the new federal regulations started coming out. I began tracking cards and rates, watching every statement like a hawk. I now review and verify new charges, avoid pre-authorized bank or card charges wherever possible or set email alerts to follow up free trial periods so that I cancel on time if needed. And I always, always, ALWAYS check the interest rates.
Twice in the last two months I have noticed rate hikes and successfully called the credit card companies in an effort to get them to lower the interest rate. Through this process I have learned that most credit accounts are set up on various automated systems. One involves a periodic, random check that is based on an inquiry into your credit report. Any kind of change to your credit (new card, job, even an error) can trigger a hike to a predetermined default interest rate, regardless of your past history with that card or company. The new rate is applied immediately and without notice.
Another automated system involves the payment due date. In the past, many companies would forgive a payment that posted a day or two after the due date. Not so anymore. Additional fees are typically set to apply immediately and are often accompanied by an automatic interest rate hike. I realized this after making a payment through my bank website instead of the company website. Because of the weekend, it delayed my payment beyond the due date and triggered an automatic rate hike.
As expected, the first response to both of my calls to request a rate reduction were negative. It pays to be calm and persistent, though. Fortunately, I have excellent payment history and was able to use that to my advantage. After asking for manager review and assistance, I was able to successfully get both rates adjusted back down to their original levels (along with my blood pressure!)
The interest rate reduction was extremely important because I was carrying a balance on both of the cards at the time. The tripling of the rate meant that my minimum monthly payment would more than DOUBLE from the original amount and would have resulted in TRIPLE the amount of total interest paid for the year.
Remember, this is happening immediately and without notice. More importantly, it is happening regardless of actual payment history. It might have gone unnoticed and unchallenged had I not been in the habit of reviewing and tracking the charges and rates.
Obviously, these hikes would have affected my own overall cash flow. But, in this global, interconnected world, that isn’t the end of the story. It could also impact the financial situation and daily lives of several women in developing countries who have benefited from the micro-loans that I’ve been able to contribute to since I was introduced to Kiva, an incredible micro-finance organization. The few extra dollars that I am able to save in interest can literally mean the difference between a child somewhere being able to attend school or not, or a family’s ability to put food on the table each week.
A few dollars saved here and there may not always seem like much or worth the trouble. To some, it might even be looked at as penny-pinching or cheap or just plain anal-retentive. To me, it’s about meeting financial and personal goals, without having to compromise one for the other. Who knows? Maybe Grandad was right about the pennies and pounds after all. In the grand scheme of things, that little bit just might make all the difference in someone’s world.

Exporting of jobs accelerating
Sending abroad service jobs, or offshoring, is spreading from private industry into the government sector. PHILADELPHIA — About 15,000 times a month, when Pennsylvania welfare recipients call with questions about food stamps or cash assistance, they get answers from workers in India or Mexico.
New Jersey'sexperience New Jersey recently returned some call center services to the state, after having the service performed at a call center in India. Having calls answered in Camden, N.J., instead resulted in:
The state renegotiating its contract with call-center operator eFunds Corp. of Scottsdale, Ariz.
State payments increasing by 37 cents per call, or an additional $73,800 a month, according to officials at the Department of Human Services.
Not long ago, those calls were answered in Texas and Florida. But Citicorp Electronic Financial Services Inc. sent the jobs to where wages are lower.
When the five-year contract is renewed this year, state officials believe they will save about $1 million a year, in part because of the foreign labor.
New Jersey welfare recipients were also unknowingly dialing India. But a state legislator successfully fought to move the jobs back home, creating 12 jobs in Camden last year.
"It is poor public policy to use taxpayer money to create jobs outside of the country when we have people here who are unemployed," New Jersey state Sen. Shirley Turner, a Democrat, said. "These are jobs that anyone can do with a little training."
The practice of offshoring - or sending abroad service jobs such as computer and call-center work - is creeping from private industry into the arena of government, adding fuel to a national controvers the presidential election.
The exporting of jobs, primarily to India, has accelerated in recent years, coinciding with the weakest job-market recovery since the 1930s. There are no government data on how many have gone abroad, but estimates put the number in the tens of thousands, and many more may go.
According to researchers from the University of California and Forrester Research Inc., a Boston consulting firm, — million to 3.5 million U.S. service jobs will likely be shipped to low-wage countries in the next 12 to 15 years.
Most vulnerable are jobs considered the cream of the new economy: highly paid database managers, software coders, financial analysts and accountants. Other positions include transcriptionists, data-entry workers and office support.
Many believe offshoring will benefit the U.S. economy as baby boomers age, creating a need for younger workers.
The major benefit, though, is the lower prices that Americans pay for everything from toys to clothes - and now for information technology.

I recently was reminded of a skit from the show Portlandia – Fred had been on a seemingly perfect trip with a dream date. He sighs and shakes his head. His friends are puzzled – “What do you mean, it looked amazing” they exclaim. “Everyone on the internet – they aren’t having as great of a time as you think they are” Fred explains. And Carrie chimes in “Yeah, they’re just cropping out the sadness”. It is a perfect summation of Facebook posts this time of year – perfect this, perfect that. And I’m sorry, that just doesn’t exist. The new EP from Tacoma, WA’s Strangely Alright brought this whole thing to mind.
They are a tight band playing straight forward glam rock ‘n roll, deeply indebted to the T. Rex and Bowie school of thought. No frills, no BS – they just hit you in the soul with real vibes. The band is a five piece – Regan Lane on vocals, Sean Van Dommelen on lead guitar & vocals, Ken Schaff on bass, Ray Hayden on keyboards & vox, and Jason Bair manning the drum kit. Each member stands out on the EP adding their own flair to the proceedings. The title track kicks off the EP on a strong note – a little acoustic jingle before a fuzztone riff kicks in. The song is an ode to anti-materialism (kind of). Anyway, that’s my take on it, and I dig it.
“It’s all just Stuff yea it ain’t enough / Without the love I can share / It’s all just Stuff”. Wave Goodbye has a sinister riff pulsating throughout its 5 minutes and tells a tale of deception & broken friendships. From a strictly glam standpoint, this hues the closest to the classic 70’s vibes that I enjoy so much. I’d like to hear this one live at some point. “You’re gonna get what you get / The universe don’t forget / Grab a hanky / So you can dry your eyes”. The EP closes with Don’t U Know – a harder edged song that is one of the strongest cuts here. Lyrically optimistic, musically sinister – it is a killer tune and a great way to close out the release. “My children tell me / That a change is gonna come / Hiding in the sunlight / Is the truth that we are one”. Probably my favorite lyric on the entire record.
Verdict: Leaves You Wanting More

The gameplay is controlled by a dealer, sometimes referred to in roulette as a croupier, who basically keeps the action moving, announces bets and outcomes, and prompts players when its time for them to act.
The action centers around a numbered spinning wheel and a tiny ball. The dealer spins the wheel and drops the ball into the wheel as it's spinning at the start each new round.
The objective for players is to correctly guess where on the wheel the ball will come to ultimately rest. Roulette offers you several ways to place bets and players have absolutely no influence over where the ball will land after each spin.
So your success or failure depends entirely on luck alone. Unlike online video poker or blackjack, where skill and strategy can help increase your odds of coming out on top, the only way you can gain an advantage is through the variation you choose.
More on that later. In roulette an inside bet is where you bet on one or more numbers inside the roulette grid. Numbers consist of even and odd numbers from 0 plus an additional 00 slot in American roulette to Outside bets are made by placing your bet on options outside of the numbered grid.
You can choose to bet on a grouping of numbers, such as the first 12, second 12, or third 12, or even or You can also choose to bet on an all red or all black number outcome.
Making multiple outside bets gives you the advantage of being in a position to win back at least part of your total overall bet.
For example, if you bet on all odd numbers and all black numbers, and the ball lands on black 10, you lose the odds portion of your bet, but win the black portion.
However if the ball lands on black 13 you win both parts of the bet for a payoff on each bet. In roulette there are really no limitations to how many bets you place.
Plus, if you're playing for free then you don't have to worry about making, and potentially losing multiple stakes, as it's not real cash anyway.
It's all for fun! Aside from the immediacy and convenience, one of the great things about playing free online roulette at home or on mobile is the variety of different games on offer.
Unlike the classic version you'll find throughout land casinos in , playing in real money casino opens up a whole world of exclusive roulette variations unavailable elsewhere.
Some make use of unique rules that favor players, while others have fewer numbers on the wheel that positively change the odds in the game. Even if you only ever play roulette online for free, it can still be rewarding to try out a few different variations and find the one you enjoy playing for fun the most.
One of the key things about European roulette is that it offers players better odds than you'll find in other versions, including American.
This might not seem significant but the addition of the "00" tile actually gives the casino a better advantage as the house always wins when the ball lands on 0 or This advantage is therefore automatically reduced when one zero's is taken away, as is the case with European roulette.
French roulette also only has one "0" on the wheel. But in addition, this roulette version also features two important rules that have a knock-on effect on betting outcomes.
The rule doesn't apply to inside bets. In addition, the En Prison Rule in French roulette effectively puts inside bets "in prison" whenever the ball lands on zero.
Which means instead of getting half the bet back as in the La Partage rule, the bet stands for the next spin. If then on the next spin players win their bet they get out of jail free.
Should they lose then they forfeit their entire wager. American roulette is one of the mostly widely available and played variations, both on and offline in casinos today.
Although records show it isn't as old as its European and French variations, American roulette is still considered by many to be the standard version of this classic casino game.
In American roulette the numbered wheel features an additional "00" square as well as the standard "0" found in French and European roulette.
The inclusion of this "00" isn't a positive for players though. It actually increases the house edge and drags the player odds down.
So it's unsurprising that online and land casinos overtly favor this roulette version the most. As the name suggests, the wheel is smaller than a standard numbered wheel.
In fact, mini roulette wheels only go up to 12 and, like the European version, only feature a single "0" square. If the ball happens to land on the "0" tile, half of the stake of all bets are returned to players.
Other than that exception, and the miniature wheel size, bets can be placed in just the same way as with standard roulette versions, and no additional rules apply.
In multi ball roulette up to 10 balls can be in play at any one time. The number of balls in use has a direct effect on the odds and players can select and deselect balls until they reach a total they're happy with.
The odds in multi ball roulette also increase because no two balls can land in the same pocket. Giving you more chances to correctly guess the outcome.
Bets are taken just the same way as in traditional one ball roulette and as well as inside and outside bets, additional call bets can be made on top too.
Multi wheel roulette online features up to 8 wheels spinning simultaneously. The bets you make will extend across all 8 wheels, though it is possible to reduce the amount of wheels in play at any one time by deselecting them until you get to your desired number.
The wheels follow the single "0" European roulette version and winning bets either remain on the table for the next round, or can be taken back and added to your bankroll.
Every wheel in play spins independently, giving you up to 8 individual chances to win, and markers will help to illuminate winning outcomes.

Demonstrators march against gun violence in Bradenton amid rain
BRADENTON — A group of about 60 demonstrators, led by Women's Voices of Southwest Florida, rallied and marched to the Manatee County courthouse steps Saturday morning, calling on lawmakers to address the recurring gun violence in America.
Following a downpour before the start of the scheduled march, which was initially expected to draw over 200 demonstrators, organizers distributed signs to attendees during the 1.5-mile walk from Bradenton Riverwalk to the historic courthouse. Each sign had the names of the 49 victims of the 2016 Pulse Nightclub massacre in Orlando, including one local man — Eddie Sotomayor Jr.
Calls for stricter gun regulation and background checks for semi-automatic gun purchases were amplified at the rally on the courthouse steps. Other attendees brought personal signs that urged lawmakers to 'save our children,' referencing the recent school massacre in Uvalde, Texas.
Florida state House District 70 candidate Eleuterio 'Junior' Salazar addressed the few dozen attendees, expressing his thoughts on not only the gun violence but the recent legislation that he believes affects the mental health of many Floridians.
"I don't want to be the guy that gets the bad news that his baby doesn't get to come home," Salazar said.
Salzar, who has family in Texas, says that the shooting at Robb Elementary School in the southwestern Texas town of Uvalde left him at a loss for words.
"The entire state of Texas is devastated by that tragedy; we lost 19 children. Nineteen families didn't get to hug their babies, tuck them in that night or even ask them how school was. That shouldn't be the norm."
Women's Voices of Southwest Florida co-founders, who organized this march that coincided with at least two dozen in Florida and hundreds of other nationwide on Saturday, say they will continue to fight against gun violence and targeted attacks on marginalized communities. Leading up the march on Saturday, Sarah Parker said that the group is bringing awareness to a number of issues in addition to gun violence.
"We've been at a tipping point, we've been tipping since George Floyd, and it seems like there is something happening every day. Now, it's all getting to a boiling point because kids are being harmed," she said.
"It's election time we should go out and vote in droves and make sure we have some civil gun laws."

Statement by José Manuel Barroso on a call to leaders and Members of the EP to tell the same in the capitals
José Manuel Barroso, President of the EC, participated in the plenary session of the EP. In this extract from his speech the President made a call to leaders and Members of the EP to tell the same in the capitals as they did in Brussels. He highlighted that the simple fact that the EC made proposals didn't in itself lead to quick agreements, maybe because there were too many political forces that said one thing in Strasbourg and another thing in the capitals of the Member States.

Pressure from MIL for Christening *Trigger
So this may be a trigger topic I guess depending on the responses.
My husband and I did not grow up very religious at all although we both have family members who are. My dad's side of the family is very religious and my MIL is also religious. Neither families raised DH or I this way. We only attended church for the big holidays and that even died off as we got older.
DH and I have spoken about it a little bit when it comes to LO but we haven't really come to any decision. Ideally we would like to go to church and to practice our religion more than we do now with LO but our business just gets in the way (we work Sat & Sun mornings - no way around this unfortunately).
So... one day it came up about Christening to MIL and she said well you absolutely have to! And I looked at DH and said we'll see. Today I just got another text, randomly, saying how important it is to their family that we do this. Now, I am not saying I wouldn't Christen my child by any means (although I was the only one in my family never Christened). But I really feel like DH and I need to discuss this. DH said that since it's really important to his mom we should just do it but I feel that it's more than just that.
To me a Christening shouldn't be done just because, it just seems wrong. I don't even know how we would go about it, choose a church at random and attend a few times so we can get our child Christened? I really don't know how to face this because DH gets a bit upset when I bring it up because he just wants to make his mom happy. I understand having faith and the importance of following a religion but I feel that it's something that he and I need to discuss and want to do rather than just doing it to make others happy.
Has anyone else been in this situation before or do you have any advice? Thanks!

BELTRAMI COUNTY, MN - A 13-year old girl from the FM area died of drowning over the weekend. The Beltrami County Sheriff's Office says the girl was swimming in Lake Julia, 10 miles north of Bemidji, on Sunday when she went under. Friends called 911 after they couldn't find her. Deputies were told the girl took off her personal floatation device and was on the ladder of a pontoon when she disappeared under water. Her body was found about three hours later in 23 feet of water. The girl's name has not been released. Her body was taken to the Twin Cities for an autopsy.
The Beltrami County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the DNR, State Patrol, Bemidji Fire Department, Bemidji Ambulance Service, Lakes Area Dive Team and several bystanders who allowed the use of their personal boats until other resources arrived.


For nearly a century, the shores along Sydney Harbor bordered one of North America’s largest steel mills and coke ovens, making the steel industry an integral part of the region’s economy and culture. But when the plants closed in 2001, they left tons of industrial waste behind, creating a deep wound that divided three neighborhoods from their waterfront and from each other for nearly 13 years. With the community’s strong economic and emotional ties to the site, the landscape architects led a design effort that closed the divide, healed the environmental scar and boosted the community’s reputation and pride.

Baseball veterans, including a participant from the final game played, were on hand to throw out a ceremonial first pitch for the recent grand opening of San Diego’s Lane Field Park, created by Civitas. The park was placed on the former site of Lane Field baseball stadium, home to the then-Pacific Coast League San Diego Padres from 1936-1957 – history that played an integral role in the design. At the same time, this new park is visually tied to the Port of San Diego’s massive North Embarcadero Visionary Plan, which includes the Civitas-designed grand esplanade that opened in November 2014 just across Harbor Drive.

We offer quality, experience,
and the latest in esthetic dentistry.
Dental Implants Near Me
Dental implants can be an excellent solution for restoring your smile and confidence if you’re missing teeth due to aging, injury, or decay. However, dental implant treatment can seem complicated, and you may feel you need help determining where to go for the best care. The answer is Cedar Ridge Esthetic and Family Dentistry! We’re here to help and offer quality dental implants near you in Urbandale, Iowa.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that we can surgically place into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They’re made from biocompatible materials like titanium that fuse with natural bone in a process called osseointegration. Dental implants can provide a permanent and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth.
The dental implant process typically involves several steps, including consultation, implant placement surgery, healing period, and crown or bridge placement. Our team provides the most comfortable and thorough experience possible.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Dental implants have many benefits compared to tooth replacement options like dentures or bridges. There’s nothing wrong with dentures or bridges, both of which are excellent restorative dentistry options for many patients. But dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, are more comfortable and stable than other options, and can improve your ability to speak and eat. They also help preserve your jawbone and prevent bone loss, known to occur when teeth are missing.
How to Choose a Dental Implant Provider?
Choosing a dental implant provider is a crucial step in your treatment journey, as it can impact the success and longevity of your implants. Look for a provider with extensive experience and training in dental implant placement and access to advanced technology for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Ask for before-and-after photos of their patients’ implant cases to ensure they have a track record of successful outcomes.
And, of course, we hope you’ll consider us for your dental implant treatment! We take pride in being dental implant specialists. Our patients can rest assured knowing they receive the best care possible regarding their dental implants.
What is the Dental Implant Process Like?
The process begins with a consultation to evaluate your candidacy for dental implants. During the procedure, we’ll insert a small titanium post into the jawbone, which will serve as the foundation for the dental implant. It can heal and fuse with the bone over a few months. Finally, a custom crown is placed on the implant, completing the restoration. Our team is committed to ensuring that our patients receive the full benefits of dental implants and leave our office with a beautiful, healthy smile they can be proud of.
How to Maintain Your Dental Implants?
Dental implants require the same level of care as natural teeth to ensure their longevity. Brush and floss regularly, use an antibacterial mouthwash, and attend regular dental checkups and cleanings. Avoid chewing on hard items like ice or using your implants as tools to prevent damage. Your provider may recommend additional maintenance steps based on your individual needs.
Dental Implants Near Me in Urbandale, Iowa
Cedar Ridge Esthetic and Family Dentistry is committed to helping our patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles with advanced dental technology and compassionate care. If you’re considering dental implants near you, we’d love to help you explore your options and create a customized treatment plan that fits your goals and needs.
From the initial consultation to the final restoration, our team will ensure that we meet each patient’s unique needs with the highest level of skill and expertise. We strive to make every step of the journey as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Your smile is our top priority! Let us help you achieve the smile of your dreams with our exceptional restorative dentistry in Urbandale, Iowa.

Chelsea are keen on the idea of signing Oleksandr Zinchenko and have added him to a wishlist, which already consists of Manchester City stars Raheem Sterling and Nathan Ake.
The 25-year-old suffered heartbreak earlier this month, as Ukraine failed to make the World Cup in November following their 1-0 loss to Wales.
It has been an emotional year for Zinchenko, due to the whole situation at his home. He has still managed to have a successful season on the pitch at the Etihad, winning the Premier League for the fourth time.
With numerous departures at Stamford Bridge still likely to come, potentially including left-backs Marcos Alonso and Cesar Azpilicueta, a full-back is needed. Ben Chilwell's long-term injury solidifies this and shows that even just a backup has to be brought in.
According to reports, Zinchenko could be allowed to leave if Manchester City pursue a move for Brighton's Marc Cucurella.
The full-back made 28 appearances in all competitions last term. He could seek first-team football, with Kyle Walker and Joao Cancelo ahead of him in the pecking order as things stand.
Zinchenko joined the club back in 2016 for a fee in the region of £1.6 million, and his contract expires in the summer of 2024.


As per details by Gwadar Station House Officer (SHO) Aslam Bangulzai, firing is taking place in the Pearl Continental (PC) Hotel in Gwadar after three to four gunmen stormed the facility.
“At around 4:50pm we got reports that there are three to four armed men in PC Hotel,” the SHO said, adding that “the firing is ongoing but there are no reports of any casualties yet.”
Though, the officer added that “there are no foreigners at the hotel right now.” SHO Bangulzai said that “additional police force, ATF (Anti-terrorism force) and army are all present” at the hotel to handle the situation.”
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohsin Hassan Butt also confirmed that “two to three gunmen had first fired at and then entered the hotel.” The IGP said the hotel did not have any foreigners at the time of the attack and that only the hotel staff was inside. He also said that “95 per cent of the hotel has been evacuated.”
IGP Butt further said that “the attackers may have come in a boat to launch the attack.”
Frontier Corps personnel have cordoned off the hotel and no one is allowed to go near the area, DawnNewsTV reported citing police sources.
The Pearl Continental (PC) Hotel in Gwadar, is located on the Koh-e-Batil Hill, south of West Bay on Fish Harbour Road. The five-star hotel is frequented by both business and leisure travellers.
