More than 200 Nigerians in the USA were ousted from the meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in Washington DC.
The meeting was a part of four-day state visit to America by Nigerian leader. Buhari arrived on July 19, Sunday and has already met with his colleague Barack Obama.
Meanwhile, it was the only forum set aside for talks between diaspora Nigerians and their president, and one of a few activities provided entirely by the personnel of the Nigerian Embassy.
Some Nigerian organizations, comprising Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO) and APC USA chapter received the information weeks before Buhari arrived.
Invitation cards in Nigerian colours and coat of arms were particularly printed for the event, some of which were sent to Nigerian organizations, and some to individuals.
The cards specified that guests should wear business or national attire and that guests reply to one Bukar Kolo.
However, the information appeared that the Embassy designed only 200 samples of the invitation cards. It did not clarify why so many Nigerian who came for the town hall meeting were left standing outside the gate of the Embassy.
More than 200 Nigerians who came from distant cities were denied admission into the Embassy. Many of them, including Professor Peter Opara who came from Boston, had invitation cards.
The Embassy staff did not explain the lock out to their fellow Nigerians.
Buhari has departed USA just recently, he will be back in Nigeria on Thursday, July 23.
The leader of Africa’s economic powerhouse, Nigeria, met with President Obama in the Oval Office.
Muhammadu Buhari was elected president in March in what was seen as Nigeria’s first peaceful transition of power.
USA visit was an opportunity for the two countries to patch up a relationship which had soured.

Are you ready for a little challenge and inspiration? I have been coloring some of Make It Crafty’s amazing images today and had some fun with the Enchanted Unicorn. I wanted to color something white and leave it with the feel of it remaining a white image. How do we color white you ask? Well there are a few things you can do.
1. Color the background a color
2. Color only the areas of the image that would be the shadow areas.
I have done both these things using this image. The first thing I did was airbrush the background using B45 and a little N9. It wasn’t anything fancy, just mask the image off and spray. If you do not have an airbrush you can simply color the background with even saturation. I then used my blender pen to gently push back some of the color to create clouds. Some blender “pushing” was a single layer and other parts i repeated a few times to lighten even more (of course I let the application dry in-between removing the next layer). Pretty quick, pretty simple, amazing results! By coloring around an image you wish to appear white, the look is almost achieved for you with this last step. But to take it to the next level you should color in the shadow area of your white image. You can be subtle or go a little nuts like what I did with the Unicorn by adding purples and green in my shadowed area. For this image I used BV0000 BV000 BV20 YG11. By using the BV0000 closest to the area I am leaving white it appears to be a smooth blend. if your chosen color doesnt smoothly blend into the white, grab out your blender pen and smooth it in.
Give it a try. Lets see what fun stuff you can create with your backgrounds, and coloring white images.

The family members of Anjali, who died after being dragged by a car, said on Wednesday that it was not an accident but a murder.
New Delhi: The family members of Anjali, who died after being dragged by a car, said on Wednesday that it was not an accident but a murder.
“It is not an accident but a planned murder,” said the family members of Anjali, who was dragged for about 12 km from Sultanpuri to Kanjhawala under the car.
Talking to media, Bhupendra Singh Chaurasia, a family member of the deceased, who had Anjali’s autopsy report in hand said that the post-mortem report showed no signs of her having alcohol.
“It is a pre-planned murder. Anjali’s ribs were exposed from the back of the chest. Her lungs were exposed and out,” said the kin of the deceased.
The family’s statement comes after Nidhi, a friend of Anjali’s who was with her during the January 1 night, said that Anjali was drunk and not in her senses. However, the official confirmation on the findings and final opinion of the post-mortem is still awaited.
“She had consumed a lot of alcohol. We even had a fight over who would drive the scooty. She was not at all in her senses. Before that accident, she was about to ram into a truck but I somehow managed to apply the brakes on time even as I was seated behind her… and we got saved,” Nidhi had claimed, while recalling the incident.
Chaurasia said that the autopsy report has suggested that no abnormality has been detected and no alcohol was found in the abdomen region.
“The brain is still missing and it fell off from the skull in the Kanjhawala area. There are a total of 40 injuries out of which 20 to 25 are grazed abrasions. There were 14-15 injuries after her death. Some of the injuries were inconspicuous due to blackening, smudging, and brush burn effects,” said Chaurasia, while reading the autopsy report.
He even questioned that when two friends were together in such a brutal accident, how is it possible that one managed to escape without any injuries.

German scientists have developed a beer that could help fight cancer.
A potent antioxidant called xanthohumol has been found in hops and has been shown in previous laboratory studies to stem the growth of tumour cells.
Found in very low concentrations in normal beer, the German Cancer Research Institute in Heidelberg suggested that researchers at the Technical University of Munich develop and enrich the compound.
Scientists brew the beer with 10 times the normal content of xanthohumol, but the calorie and alcohol content similar to that of standard beer.
Achim Zuercher, a scientist involved in the study said the content of xanthohumol in commercial beers in about 0.01 to 0.20 mg/L. The new beer has concentration of about 1.0 to 2.5 mg/L.
The beer will be marketed in January or February 2003 by an unnamed brewery in Bavaria. It is expected to be sold outside Germany.
“Red wine has had a good image in terms of cancer since the discovery of resveratrol. Now we have xanthohumol for beer,” he said.
Tests on the effects of xanthohumol have only been carried out the laboratory, he noted, but it has been shown in a variety of test systems to be a very promising and effective natural substance against cancer.
“For example, it is much more effective than resveratrol,” he noted.
Still, the researcher stressed it would not be possible to say conclusively that the beer will fight cancer in humans until tests are completed several years down the line.
“The Cancer Research Institute will now begin to test our beer on animals but it will take several years to establish whether the compound is really chemopreventative in people,” he said.

The most significant of these Gaelic holdouts was the area known as Galloway. This region of southwestern Scotland was initially peopled by speakers of Cumbric, a language closely related to Welsh. It became a Gaelic region between the ninth and eleventh centuries, then acquired a Gaelic-Norse aristocracy due to the Viking raids. Galloway was an independent kingdom for a time, but was then absorbed into the kingdom of Scotland, slowly losing its Gaelic identity.
Nevertheless, its identity still remained firmly Gaelic for a very long time. We know this because of legal documents referring to “kenkynol” (Gaelic “ceann-cinneil,” the head or chief of a kinship group, in other words a “clan chief”) “kenelman” (a Gaelic-English hybrid word, meaning roughly a “clansman”), and specific Galloway clans such as the Kennedys, MacLellans and MacDowalls.
Place names also indicate that the traditional Gaelic intellectual class of bards and reciters was active in medieval Galloway. With clans, clan chiefs and bards, Galloway in the Middle Ages seems to have been just as Gaelic as Ireland or the Hebrides. Gallowegian warriors were active in the struggle for Scottish Independence, and the forces of William Wallace were said to be largely from this area. All things considered, Galloway seems like a fascinating “lost chapter” in the history of Gaelic Scotland.

High-stakes gamble led to conviction
Juror says he wanted to hear from Stewart
NEW YORK - Facing a stock scandal that threatened to shatter Martha Stewart's carefully tended reputation and enormous fortune, her defense team made three high-stakes gambles: They let the case go to trial, kept Stewart off the witness stand and put on a defense that took less time than one of her syndicated cooking shows.
The perfectionist homemaker wound up with the most crushing loss possible - a guilty verdict on all counts, and a likely new home behind bars.
"She should get her money back from her lawyers," said Thomas Ajamie, a veteran Houston securities attorney. "How this even went to trial in the first place, I have no idea."
Stewart should have admitted from the beginning that she sold her ImClone Systems stock in 2001 based on a tip that ImClone CEO Sam Waksal was selling his shares, Ajamie said.
But Stewart made no mention of the tip in a Feb. 4, 2002, interview with investigators, and she said in a follow-up interview two months later that she had no memory of knowing in advance that Waksal was selling.
Legal experts said Stewart might have avoided prison if she had come clean then because the money at stake in the trade was so small. Stewart, who was briefly a billionaire after Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia went public in 1999, saved $51,000 by selling a day ahead of a damaging government report about an ImClone drug.
"Had she admitted the mistake early on, she would have spent no time in prison," said Ajamie, who was careful to point out he was speaking in hindsight. "She's much worse off than had she tried to go in and just admit the mistake."
Her lawyers insisted Stewart was telling the truth when she said she did not recall receiving the tip that Waksal was selling ImClone shares - a tip they have conceded she did receive.
By the spring of 2003, with a grand jury nearing an indictment of Stewart and broker Peter Bacanovic, federal prosecutors were insisting on prison time in any plea deal with Stewart, people close to the case have said.
At trial, Stewart lawyer Robert Morvillo called just one witness, a lawyer who attended the Feb. 4 interview, in hopes of casting doubt on the government's version of exactly what questions Stewart was asked. The defense questioned him for just 20 minutes.
But Morvillo, who is considered among the best white-collar criminal defense attorneys in the country, kept Stewart off the stand. He was betting that jurors would decide the defense had undermined the prosecution's case, which included nearly two dozen witnesses.
Instead, jurors convicted Stewart on all four counts - conspiracy, obstruction of justice and two counts of lying to investigators. Bacanovic was convicted of four counts, and cleared of a charge of falsifying a document.
One juror, Chappell Hartridge, said he would have liked to hear testimony from Stewart or Bacanovic. Without them, no witness was able to definitively support their contention that they had a prior arrangement to sell ImClone when it hit $60.
"I would have liked to have heard from her," Hartridge said. "I would have loved to have heard the other side of the story."
Still, some outside lawyers said Morvillo made the best decision he could - and pointed out that any case that goes before a jury is unpredictable.
Putting Stewart or Bacanovic on the stand would have forced them to reconcile small inconsistencies in the stories they told investigators about the ImClone sale.
And Stewart would have had to answer for an event that jurors said held considerable sway with them - her alteration, four days before she was grilled by investigators, of a phone message from Bacanovic from the day she sold ImClone.
"Two things I would say are true for Morvillo: One, he knows his witness, and two, he knows his facts far better than we do," said Greg Markel, chair of litigation at New York law firm Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft.
Morvillo and his partners at the trial, John J. Tigue and John Cuti, scored a huge victory for Stewart on Feb. 27 - persuading U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum to drop a charge of securities fraud against Stewart.
Had she been convicted of securities fraud on top of the other charges, she could have faced six or more years in prison. Without securities fraud, legal experts expect Stewart to go to prison for a year or so.
But Morvillo was cut off by the judge on a central part of his defense: that Stewart was never accused of insider trading. The judge ruled he could not argue to the jury about why the government never brought the charge.
Juror Hartridge suggested another damning element of the trial may have been out of Morvillo's control altogether.
Lawyers for Bacanovic put into evidence e-mails depicting Stewart as a fierce-tempered, demanding customer of brokerage Merrill Lynch & Co. who cursed and yelled at employees there.
The e-mails were an attempt to discredit Douglas Faneuil, a former Merrill assistant and the government's star witness, as someone who was fixated on Stewart. He sent the notes to friends after rocky telephone encounters with Stewart.
But the move by Bacanovic's lawyers appeared to backfire by making Stewart seem unsympathetic.
"They may have done more damage to Martha than they realized," the juror said.
Stewart did not speak to reporters after the verdict, but Morvillo began a brief statement by thanking jurors, the judge and even marshals who have guarded the courtroom during the trial.
He did not address questions about the strategy, but vowed an appeal of the verdict.
"We look at this as an opportunity to go to the next round," he said, "and explain to the Court of Appeals what we think went wrong in this case."

Congress is trying to give schools a break from First Lady Michelle Obama's healthy lunch program.
While a massive year-end spending bill won't allow schools to opt out of the standards that require healthy school meal options, it will ease the set of standards that put a requirement on the amount of whole grains included in school foods.
In addition, the bill will take out rules concerning the level of salt included in school meals, a measure that was set to go into effect in 2017.
School nutrition directors across the nation have lobbied for a break from the standards since their inception in 2012 due to issues with cost and restrictiveness. In addition, they say that many children do not like the new meals.
As the discussion over the standards escalated over the summer, the first lady announced that she would fight "to the bitter end" to ensure schools promoted good nutrition.
Schools around the country continually complain about the whole grain standards, which they say are difficult to adhere to when preparing certain popular foods, such as pastas, biscuits and tortillas. Food service industries do not carry as many whole grain options for schools to choose from, and the ingredient can be difficult to work with, sometimes becoming mushy and difficult to cook properly.
The spending bill, which could become law by the end of the year, would allow schools to become exempt from the standard which requires all grain products to be mostly whole grain, so long as those schools can show that they are having a hard time finding and affording acceptable whole grain products. Even so, those schools would still need to follow previous guidelines that stated that half of all grain products used must be whole grains.
The language used in the bill is a compromise between the House's wishes to allow schools to opt out of the standards and a Senate provision requiring more research to be done on whole grains.
While the standards have been implemented in some schools without complaint, others are not faring so well. While schools have needed to meet requirements in order to obtain federal reimbursements for the free and reduced-price lunch program in the past, none have been as strict as the 2012 standards.
Earlier this year the Agricultural Department allowed schools to put the whole grain requirement off for two years, so long as those schools could demonstrate they have had "significant challenges" in pasta preparation.
Those who support the new standards believe they will become less of an issue in coming years as students become more used to the foods served and the food industry learns to make meals taste better, according to Tennille Tracy for The Washington Journal.

Who We Are
Danger Muff is a family business where all members share the passions and dedication to building the finest fuzz pedals that look and sound as unique as the musician playing them.
The idea for the customer pedals came to me after I took receipt of a custom one-off guitar from mad genius – Ragh Guitar – The ‘Dangercaster‘
- Prince (Tele body with Mad Cat plate)
- Keef Richards “Micawber” inspired pickups
- Purpleheart fretboard with yin/yang inlays
- Thinline “f” hole
- Vintage XL headstock
- Skull knobs just for kicks
- …All finished in glorious Purple
I’ve been a long time user and abuser of the EHX Big Muff family and decided I wanted a sound, look and finish to compliment the Dangercaster so I decided to make my own pedal – the Danger Muff
The prototype Danger Muff is a 1990’s ‘Green Russian’ inspired fuzz circuit, housed in a Mini Big Muff sized body, I wanted to have something bigger than the standard Nano Muff body that is so common on so many pedalboards, but not as big as the original ‘BIG’ Big Muff Pi box. As with the Dangercaster I decided to finish the Danger Muff prototype in glorious Purple.
Our aim at Danger Muff is simple… the fuzz sound you want*, the pedal size and look you want*, all created using the best quality components.
*All customisation options are available through product picker drop-downs however if there is something missing that you would like to add just drop us an email and we’ll always see what we can do to accommodate.
There is a small team working at Danger Muff HQ, who are dedicated to putting the Fizz in your Fuzz:
Director of Noise
We ship our Danger Muffs to any corner of the World.
Each Danger Muff is hand made and hand tested to ensure the highest quality.
We have regular sales throughout the year for those pedal enthusiasts who love a bargain.
Payments are accepted via PayPal to ensure security for our customers.

Apple's Game Center app, the social gaming software that adds friends lists, matchmaking, and unified multiplayer gaming, arrives this week with the release of iOS 4.1. Now the bad news: not every iPhone and iPod touch will support it.
Apple notes, on its newly launched Game Center page, that owners of the original iPhone, iPod touch and the iPhone 3G will be left out of the matchmaking, achievement gathering and friends list perusing party. Game Center officially supports these devices only.
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 4
- iPod touch 2nd generation
- iPod touch 3rd generation
- iPod touch 4th generation
That's not too surprising, given the rise in apps that no longer support the iPhone 3G. The device is more than two years old, after all, positively ancient in Apple Years. The persistent Game Center app likely doesn't play well with the more meager RAM stuffed into the iPhone 3G and its predecessor. Still, sucks for us iPhone 3G owners who'd like to whore for Angry Birds achievements.
Game Center support for the iPad will launch later this year with the release of iOS 4.2.

Not One Less
After a brief respite from both Chinese language films and directing, acclaimed director Zhang Yimou (Shanghai Triad, Lumiere and Company) returns with Not One Less. This new film is much more accessible than some of his other films. It also tells a story that easily translates to other cultures. Strangely enough, though everything about Not One Less presents itself as a heartwarming story about love, there is an ugly undercurrent running through the movie that drags its message down. Shi Xiangsheng, author of the book by the same name, provides the screenplay.
A small town hires thirteen-year old Wei Minzhi to substitute teach in place of Teacher Gao. Gao must leave for one month to tend to his ill mother. The schoolhouse consists of one room, and the school, and everything else in the town, is poor. Wei is also poor, and initially accepts the job because of the money. She does not care about the children, and has no experience in teaching. Students are leaving the school in order to work to provide an extra source of income. As an extra incentive, Gao offers Wei extra money, if, when he returns, all of the children are still in school, and not one less. When one of the students, Zhang Huike, leaves to work in the city, Wei journeys there to try to find him and bring him back.
Wei's reasons are purely selfish, which is somewhat of a turnoff. Initially, she tries to find Zhang only to ensure she receives the extra money. Also, Zhang is a brat. He is the class troublemaker, constantly a thorn in Wei's side. Neither character engenders much sympathy from the viewer. Who cares if Zhang returns? The class is better off without him. Thankfully, sometime in the middle, Wei's reasons for searching change, becoming earnest. Zhang strove for accuracy in Not One Less, casting all amateurs in roles they play in real life. The young students are young students. The mayor is a mayor in real life. Television anchors, station managers, store clerks, and train station announcers all play the same roles in the movie as they play in real life. The entire cast use their real names in the film further blurring the line between fiction and reality. Zhang also placed hidden cameras on to his cast while filming in the city, to catch everyday people acting normally. Any sour taste is gone by the middle of the movie, making the rest heartwarming.

Jakarta, TOPNews Indonesia –
Sardine has a number of benefits for health. Even though it is not as famous as salmon, the benefits of sardines are not inferior.
Some dietitians even recommend eating more sardines.
Here are 5 reasons sardines are good for health, according to dietitians.
1. Excellent source of omega-3
According to Harvard Health Publishing, besides its delicious taste, people love salmon for the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA – aka unsaturated fats which have anti-inflammatory properties, lower triglyceride levels and keep your heart healthy.
However, according to a dietitian who is also an author Read It Before You Eat It: Taking You from Label to Table, Bonnie Taub-Dix, sardines are also another excellent and underrated source of omega-3s.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), one sardine can provide 64 percent of your daily intake of omega-3s.
2. High in vitamin B12
According to Taub-dix, sardines are also very high in vitamin B12. One can alone provides about 555 percent of your Daily Values (DV) or your daily needs, according to USDA guidelines.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), vitamin B12 plays a large role in maintaining the body’s nerve function and the formation of red blood cells. It also helps your body break down and absorb protein and fat in the body.
3. High calcium content in bones
As reported from LiveStrong, there is a lot of calcium content in sardine bones. Believe it or not, sardine bones are completely edible, which is why this fish is a calcium powerhouse.
One can of sardines will pack about 44 percent of your DV for calcium, whereas the same serving of salmon provides only 1 percent of the DV, because you can’t eat salmon bones.
4. Low mercury content
You may have heard about the health dangers of mercury. Mercury is a poisonous compound embedded in the food chain of fish.
Sardines are generally lower in mercury than salmon, which is a great excuse to swap some of your salmon for this alternative.
Compared to all seafood, sardines actually contain some of the lowest levels of mercury with about 0.013 parts per million (ppm) of mercury, according to the US food agency (FDA). In comparison, salmon has about 0.022 ppm.
“The FDA recommends consuming no more than 0.46 ppm of mercury per week,” said Jim White, an ACSM dietitian and health fitness specialist.
“Therefore, it is safe to eat about 32 cans of sardines before the toxic mercury accumulates in your body.”
5. Rich in protein
Fish is packed with protein and sardines are no exception. One can of sardines has nearly 23 grams of protein, so you can count on these small fish to help meet your daily protein needs.
Despite these ingredients, one of the best things about sardines is that they are a lot cheaper than salmon.
Plus, canned sardines store on the shelf, which means you can store them without having to eat the whole thing right away. However, Taub-Dix recommends that when you buy sardines, pay attention to their sodium content.
“Some sardines are packaged in water, while others include a sauce that can provide more sodium than you think,” he says. “However, you should read food labels carefully to check the sodium content.”

Using High Dynamic Range; similar photos but with different levels of HDR, some are more realistic and some more abstract. Its really amazing the amount of detail you pick up using this method.
High Dynamic Range allows for 3 photos to be composed together as one, with the best values of each, so it has detail in the shadows as well as the highlights. Modern Digital SLR’s allow for you to take continuous shots, and using AEB, the camera will take one regular , one under-exposed, and one over-exposed shots. Using special software you can compose these together with amazing results.
I can post a tutorial, just ask.
A very small sample of the work.
The main purpose of using neutral density (i.e., ND) filters is to reduce the amount of light that can pass through the lens. As a result, if a shutter speed is kept the same, after adding a neutral density filter, a larger aperture must be used to obtain the same exposure. Similarly, if an aperture is kept the same, after adding a neutral density filter, a slower shutter speed must be used to obtain the same exposure. This can be seen in the following diagram. Note that this diagram was discussed in the Program Mode (950, 990 and 995).
Recall that the thick red line indicates a constant exposure value (i.e., EV). To achieve this “correct” exposure, there are many different aperture-shutter speed combinations. After adding a ND filter, the exposure value is reduced because there is less light passing through the lens. This is shown as a dashed line in the above figure. Thus, if we want to keep the original shutter speed (without using a ND filter), aperture has to be wider; or, if we want to keep the original aperture, shutter speed must be slower.
Different ND filter manufacture many use a different way to indicate the amount of light a ND filter can reduce. There are two typical systems as shown below:
|1/3||2/3||1||1 1/3||1 2/3||2||2 1/3||2 2/3||3||3 1/3||6 2/3||10||13 1/3|
For example, Tiffen and B+W have 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 ND filters for reducing one, two and three stops of light. Hoya, on the other hand, uses 2×, 4× and 8× to indicate reducing 1 (i.e. 2=21), 2 (i.e., 4=22), and 3 (i.e., 8=23) stops.
All ND filters are gray in color. The deeper the color, the stronger the effect (i.e., reducing more light). The following shows Nikon’s ND4 (font) and ND8 (rear) filters. From the shadows, it is clear that a ND8 blocks more light than a ND4 does.
Based on this understanding, ND filters help us in at least three situations: (1) reduce the intensity of light; (2) use slower shutter speed; and (3) use larger aperture.
Using Slower Shutter Speed
Reducing the intensity of light means we can either use a slower shutter speed or a larger aperture. A slower shutter speed can cause moving objects blurred (i.e., motion blur) which creates a sense of motion. The following images were taken using the Aperture-Priority Mode. The aperture was set to F2.8, the largest possible aperture, so that shutter speed can be reduced properly. The left image below was taken without a ND filter, and, as you can see, the truck (running about 40 miles) is frozen. Motion blur becomes even more significant if ND8 is used (right image below) which reduces the shutter speed to 1/8 of that used for the left image.
|Without ND||With ND filter|
Using Larger Aperture
Since ND filters reduce the amount of light that can pass through the lens tube, they can be used to open up the aperture while keep the shutter speed the same. Keep in mind that a larger aperture produces a shallower Depth of Field. The following images were all taken with the same shutter speed. Using the ND filter reduces the aperture. Now the subject is well isolated from the background, and it shows a better sense of distance.
|Without ND||With ND filter|
|1/160 @ f8||1/160 @ f4|
|1/125 @ f14||1/125 @ f5.6|
I just find this fascinating. It is a video composed of still shots (shot with a camera not a video cam), of long exposure shots. So each shot may be say 10 secs long, yet its captured into a single shot, that could then last forever or a split second. And combined in a carefully arranged sequence to create a story.
I guess what i like is the distortion of time.
APOD: 2004 September 26 – Looking Back on an Eclipsed Earth
Here is what the Earth looks like during a solar eclipse. The shadow of the Moon can be seen darkening part of Earth. This shadow moved across the Earth at nearly 2000 kilometers per hour. Only observers near the center of the dark circle see a total solar eclipse – others see a partial eclipse where only part of the Sun appears blocked by the Moon. This spectacular picture of the 1999 August 11 solar eclipse was one of the last ever taken from the Mir space station, which was deorbited in a controlled re-entry in 2001.

Kia aims to launch 14 new electric vehicles globally by 2027 — including two new trucks.
It’s a name you haven’t seen in the truck world outside a few oddball concepts, but the South Korean automaker is doubling down on launching a host of new vehicles. That includes two new pickups, the company announced this week — one of which will be a “dedicated” EV model, likely on Hyundai Motor Co.’s e-GMP architecture. The other, according to Kia’s presentation, is a “strategic” model for emerging markets, and may use an internal combustion engine.
Kia says it will roll out new vehicles at the rate of two per year beginning in 2023. From there, we’ll see the brand’s bespoke truck kick off production in the United States in 2024. According to an Automotive News piece citing sources close to Kia’s plans, the automaker is exploring a midsize, body-on-frame model rather than a full-size truck to compete with the likes of the Ford F-150 Lightning or Chevrolet Silverado EV. The “bespoke” point also suggests it won’t be a derivative of the Hyundai Santa Cruz, either.
At this point, we don’t have any definitive confirmation of size, powertrain layout or performance figures, so we’ll have to wait and see what Kia brings to the table.
We are getting the large EV9, which may influence an electric truck
What we do know more about is what’s shown here: the large EV9 SUV. At 194 inches, this model will roughly land in the same league as the Kia Telluride, while being slightly smaller than American body-on-frame SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe.
When it does arrive, the Kia EV9 should pack up to 300 miles of range, as well as 350-kW DC fast charging capability. Kia claims the car will recharge up to 80 percent of its available battery power in 30 minutes, provided you have access to a fast enough Level 3 charger through the Electrify America network.
Regardless of what is coming and when, the automaker needs to ramp up battery supply to meet growing EV production. To that end, Kia plans to do just that, while improving energy density by up to 50 percent. The company estimates demand will rise to 119 GWh by 2030, and it aims to sell 1.2 million electric vehicles annually by the end of the decade.
Speaking of electric trucks, we cover the Rivian R1T below:

In preparation of Midland's spaceport license and subsequently XCOR Aerospace's arrival, Midland Development Corp. approved $1.5 million to refurbish the, for now, California-based private space company's Midland hangar. The funds will be used to refurbish the roof, air conditioning system and electrical system. "The building was old enough that a lot of the electrical items in there are no longer UL approved, and you can't get replacement parts," said Robert Rendall, MDC board chairman. "So we're going to do some upgrading to the electrical system." The refurbishing will come months before the expected deadline for Midland International Airport's spaceport license approval. The airport is in the middle of a 180-day waiting period when which the Federal Aviation Administration can either approve or deny a spaceport license. If granted, Midland International Airport will be the first commercial airport in the country to also have a spaceport. MDC, an economic development corporation funded by the quarter-cent 4A sales tax, focused its job diversification programs toward aerospace companies after it successfully made a $10 million incentive package for XCOR in 2012. The incentives package offered included $2 million for relocating XCOR's headquarters to Midland and $5 million in performance incentives. The $1.5 million for the hangar improvements is separate from the $10 million XCOR incentive package, Rendall said. He added that these improvements are general improvements that are being done not specifically for XCOR. When XCOR moves to Midland, it will continue fine-tuning its Lynx suborbital spacecraft, a vehicle that can launch into space through a horizontal takeoff, rather than a vertical takeoff most people are used to seeing. The company will be offering flights into space for $95,000 per person. MDC also made a $7 million incentive deal in January with Orbital Outfitters, another California-based private space company that is moving to Midland. Orbital Outfitters will develop and manage an altitude chamber complex and make space suits specialized for XCOR's vehicles. The growing trend of aerospace companies operating in Texas is also marked by SpaceX's plans to have its own spaceport near Brownsville in south Texas. Like Midland, Brownsville also established a spaceport development corporation to obtain incentive dollars from the state's Spaceport Trust Fund. XCOR plans to move to Midland sometime after Midland obtains its spaceport license.

Rihanna Gives Final Farewell To Her Grandmother at Funeral [Photos]
Rucuss staffJuly 7, 2012
Rihanna was seen leaving a Manhattan hotel to attend her grandmother’s funeral in Brooklyn on Friday afternoon.
Dressed in a navy dress with her hair in a bun, Rihanna looked visibly grief-stricken as she prepared to say goodbye to her beloved grandmother Clara ‘Dolly’ Braithwaite who died of cancer on July 1.
She’s coped with the loss of her grandmother by posting photos of her on Twitter and Instagram. Rihanna revealed the death of her grandmother on Twitter on July 1. She tweeted, “Goodbye #grangranDOLLY get your beauty rest until I see you.”
The 24-year-old has been keeping her followers up-to-date with her emotions since then. She posted an Instagram pic of a hand-written note which simply read: “IMA TRY TO BE A BIG GIRL NOW #DearDolly.”
Rihanna travels to London to headline the final day of the Wireless festival this weekend.

RUSKIN, Fla — For decades, the Freiwalds have kept the magic of outdoor moviegoing alive in Ruskin.
"It'll be 70 years old this coming April and I'll be 89 that same day. (laughs)," said John Freiwald.
And they say nostalgia is largely what keeps people coming in.
"It's just ambiance. The moon's out. I see a lot of parents with their camera stars and the sky and stuff," said Freiwald.
But they say the true secret to survival is keeping out one thing.
They say too much outside light, ruins the experience.
And it's why they planted so many trees around the property to try to block it out.
And it's also why they were initially concerned to hear that a single-family housing development would be built along their eastern border.
ABC Action News spoke with the Senior Vice President of Planning for Waldrop Engineering, the development's planning team, to learn more about the project.
The first thing we talked about, were those light-blocking trees that run between the two properties.
"We looked at how we could maintain the existing vegetation along the shared property line," said Alexis Crespo.
Crespo says those trees aren't going anywhere.
In fact, to help maintain noise and light levels on both sides of those trees, the developers say they won't be building any homes near that border.
"We understand that they're very concerned about noise and potential light coming from the house, and likewise we would find it may be difficult to sell homes next to something as noisy as a drive-in theater can be," said Waldrop.
It's news that's music to the ears of the Freiwalds who hope to keep the theater experience going for as long as possible.
"[I'm] a lot more optimistic than I was two months ago," said John Freiwald.
The project is still in the beginning stages and it has to go through several approval processes at the county level, before construction can begin.
The development will go before the Hillsborough County Zoning Board for review on January 18.


After being in the business for a number of years we have done our upmost to keep all customers happy and aim to provide satisfaction per design. To this end here a few of our many testimonials.
" During the last year there have been a number of occasions when I have required a plumber to deal with problems with my heating system and that of my daughters property. Without exception I have found Tap n Flow to be immediately responsive to my call sometimes responding the same day and always within twenty four hours. The problem has always been identified and the repair carried professionally and to a high standard all at a very competitive price. Recently one of my staff needed a plumber and I recommended Tap n Flow who provided the same excellent service."
" Tap and Flow provided all the plumbing work for our new kitchen instillation and have since been back to do further work. The company is helpful, friendly and the quality of work is very high. Their rates are also very competitive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. April & June 2011 "
" I was pleased with the work carried out by David in October 2010. I needed my cloakroom renovated - new tiling on both walls and floor, sink and unit fitted and new toilet. All the work was planned and fitted carefully. He worked tidily and had a pleasant manner and was very co-operative. I am pleased to reccomend him. "
" Job description: Complete bathroom refit, moving/changing hot water tank and switching to an unvented system. We were impressed with the ideas David had, particularly in regards to the hot water tank and unvented system. Indeed it was he who came up with the idea after listening to our plans for the house over the next few years. All work was carried out to a high standard and David certainl.. "
Don't Panic! The first thing to do is to prevent water passing the point of the leak. Turn off all stop valves (sometimes called stop cocks)
which are often sited under the kitchen sink. If there isn't an internal valve, turn off the water at the external valve which may be under a cover in your garden or path.
If the escaping water cannot be controlled immediately, open all cold water taps so that the pipework and storage system drains quickly. DO NOT TURN ON HOT TAPS. Turn off the central heating system and, if it uses a solid fuel boiler, allow the fire to die out. Switch off any electric immersion heater, then call a professional plumber.
If a pipe freezes, turn off the mains water supply at the stop valve inside your home. If the frozen pipe runs from a storage cistern and is not
controlled by a valve, check that it hasn't split. If it has, empty the cold water storage cistern by opening the cold water taps and flushing the
WC. If you know how to, you could siphon the water from the cistern with a hose pipe, then call a professional plumber. If the pipe isn't split, thaw it out by applying hot water bottles.
If any part of the hot water system is frozen, there could be a risk of explosion if the boiler (or other heat source) is kept alight, so ensure it is turned off, or for solid fuel systems, extinguish the fire. Be careful as although water may be flowing from taps, other parts of the system may still be frozen.

EL CERRITO – The east side of San Pablo Avenue should see a proliferation of new apartments and condominiums rising over the next few months as three new projects join a fourth now under construction.
The three developments, including the 223-unit Mayfair project on an El Cerrito del Norte BART parking lot, all passed muster with the city’s Design Review Board Aug. 2, the final step in the city’s approval process.
They will join the 63-unit Hana Gardens senior housing development that is now rising on San Pablo next door to City Hall.
The two smaller projects, a combined 35 condominiums at the corner of San Pablo and Lincoln avenues and at San Pablo and Eureka avenues, both received the go-ahead after agreement to substantial changes in design suggested in July by the DRB, a panel made up of professional architects.
The facades of both buildings will be less “monolithic,” with recessed exterior features and a variety of exterior colors, than what was called for in the original designs.
“The building has two strong entries on San Pablo, and I really like the colors and the facings,” board member Glenn Wood told representatives from Lafayette-based Branagh Construction.
Branagh is developing both projects as well as a project that will replace the building that formerly housed a Guitar Center store on the north side of the intersection of San Pablo and Eureka. That project will come before the DRB next month.
All three developments will offer a significant visual improvement in replacing the former Rod’s Auto Repair building and a building that now houses the El Cerrito Chamber of Commerce offices, along with the aging and derelict Guitar Center building.
Holliday Development and Bridge Housing, the co-developers of the Mayfair project, responded to a series of design changes suggested a meeting in the fall of 2016 and received a virtual wave-through from the design panel at the meeting.
The development is the first project entitled under the Tier IV exception included in El Cerrito’s San Pablo Avenue Specific Plan, adopted in 2014, which allows a project to be taller and denser than normally allowed in return for certain public benefits.
Mayfair will rise to six stories, or 74 feet at its highest point, nine feet above the height limit of 65 feet called for in the specific plan.
In return, it will provide 67 units of affordable housing in addition to 156 units of market-rate apartments, significant open space in a plaza between the buildings that will be accessible to the public during daylight hours, and a public art project on its east-facing wall that will be visible from the hills and from BART.
The final design has an ultra-modern look with curves and odd angles in the façade, varying textures and splashes of bright color.
A café and other retail space on the ground floor will serve residents and the public a short walk from the BART station.
Board member Patrick Riley compared the look of the Mayfair renderings to what he recently saw in Barcelona, Spain, a place that is famed for innovative design of multi-family housing and for its architecture in general.
“I’ve seen a lot of design like this in (Europe), and I’m glad to see it here, too,” said board Chairman Carl Groch in seconding Riley’s remarks.
In a conversation earlier in the week, Richard Mitchell, Richmond’s director of planning and building, expressed admiration for the development boom going on in El Cerrito.
“This is something we would also like to see happen around our BART station,” Mitchell said.

Introduction Over the past few months I’ve been connecting the dots whilst on a 360/VR storytelling assignment with Weavr.Space - along the way, something additionally cool happened, Google verified me as a Trusted Photographer.
Google Maps is an oft-overlooked marketing tool, but this video shows some of the features available in the app. That should hopefully spark some ideas on how you can position your business to benefit from people around you using Google Maps.
This is such a small post, but long overdue. About 2 months ago I spotted that having taken a photo on my Android device (Samsung S6) I was being prompted to add the images to Google Maps. This is perfect for Local businesses, and having done it many times since, the view count on some has been in the 1000s.


The article includes Dr. Patel's expert commentary on Nair.
Who wears short shorts? Those of us in our 20s and older will recognize the line from the catchy Nair jingle of yesteryear. The pink bottle of depilatory cream was, at one point, a product synonymous with micro-shorts and teeny-tiny bikini bottoms. However, the last couple of decades have seen the rise of waxing and laser hair removal, as well as advances in razor technology, which seemed to make Nair a thing of the past. Or did it?
I found that people still use Nair when, in a rush to pack for a bachelorette party, one of my friends didn’t have time to tend to her… grooming. “Does anyone have any Nair?” she asked our nine-deep group of girls. Four yeses rang out, as I sat in the corner, checking the date on my phone (it was in fact 2017, and not 1987), both confused and shocked. And then, earlier this year, another friend declared she forgot to Nair away her barely noticeable mustache. What is going on? I asked myself. “Is that even safe?” I asked out loud.
Apparently, yes. The product is FDA-approved so it’s okay to use. Dr. Purvisha Patel, founder of Visha Skincare, advises against using it on the brows or eyelid area though since those are the most sensitive parts of the face. But it's totally fine to use on the bikini area, “as long as the cream is used on the outside epidermis and not near the mucous membranes,” Dr. Patel says. For the hair down there, it’s also important to sit pretty still while using it to make sure the product doesn’t venture into unwanted areas. It’s safe to use on most body parts, really, as long as you only leave it on for the time recommended (no longer!) and wash it off thoroughly.
So, are we experiencing a revival of the baby pink bottle? It’s hard to say. My friends have been using depilatory creams for a couple of years now, fed up with the cost, pain, and upkeep that comes with other hair removal options. It’s also no coincidence that all of them are of darker complexions. Dr. Patel explains that people who have curly hair and are prone to ingrown hairs with shaving tend to do better with the creams. Plus, Dr. King says there has “been some recent resurgence in depilatory creams as new products have come out and have found an audience with a new generation unacquainted with the products from the 1980s.” Decades later and, it seems, we’re still not done wearing those short shorts.

Burnham hails Premier League quota plan
The Premier League's plan to introduce minimum quotas of home-grown players next year has been hailed as a "major breakthrough" by the government.
Andy Burnham, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, also praised the league for showing "real leadership" after chief executive Richard Scudamore unveiled their proposals at the Premier League headquarters yesterday.
The moves are an effort to safeguard the future of the England team, the subject of which had been among a series of questions tabled by Burnham last October.
A home-grown player is one that has spent three successive seasons at his club between the ages of 15 and 21.
Scudamore revealed that the 20 Premier League clubs had agreed "in principle" to introduce a quota scheme of home-grown players but the proposal, if adopted, would take effect from the start of the 2010/11 season.
"The Premier League announcement on proposals for introducing a home-grown player quota is a major breakthrough for the English game," said Burnham.
"It shows the league is showing real leadership on some of the issues raised by FIFA and UEFA.
"I believe a quota would help the English national team and help cement a sense of local identity between supporters and their club.
"In the long run it could help bring a measure of competitive balance to the game at the top tier.
"The Premier League should be congratulated for taking this step and I believe such a move would help secure the health of the English game for years to come."
The adoption of a quota system is expected to be rubber-stamped at a meeting of the club chairmen next month.
"Reflecting the need to encourage the development of local talent and to be confident that the future supply of England-qualified players is at least as good as now, our clubs have indicated in principle their support for a home-grown player quota to be applied to Premier League matches," revealed Scudamore.
"Measures under active consideration include: restrictions on foreign loans to bring them into line with regulations for domestic loans; the development of youth development financial incentives; constraints on the moves of under-18s; reforming the domestic compensation system and improvements to youth development and coaching."
The league also plans to introduce financial incentives for clubs in order to ensure the flow of youngsters from their academies into the first team.
"If there is a way of incentivising clubs to bring players in at 17, 18, 19 and keep them on as first-team players, we want to do that," added Scudamore.
"If you have a toss-up over a home-grown player, we want the clubs to have an incentive to keep the home-grown player, where at the moment you can have the argument that it's cheaper to bring in a player from outside."
The league has yet to decide which quota model they will adopt. The Football League already uses a quota system based on having four home-grown players in their matchday squad of 16.
But Scudamore made it clear the league has no intention of accepting FIFA president Sepp Blatter's controversial 'six-plus-five' proposal, under which every club's starting line-up would consist of at least six players from that country.
The other alternative would be for something akin to the system used by clubs in the Champions League.
They are required to name a squad of 25 players, including four home-grown players that have emerged from their own youth set-up, even if imported from overseas, and another four who have been trained within a similar framework at other clubs.

When it comes to the high temperatures during the summer, most homeowners in the Lincolnwood area know that without a reliable air conditioner they’ll be risking their family’s health and comfort. Having no way to cool off during the hot summer months, can cause a variety of health conditions and problems no matter how old the person is. It can be worse on young children or elderly family members, but even more so on anyone in the family with diabetes. Diabetic family members can go into insulin shock when exposed to too much heat, making it vital that they have reliable air conditioning in Lincolnwood to keep them cool during the summer months.
When an air conditioner starts to have problems, it’s often a good idea to get repairs done on it as soon as possible. Hiring a reputable company like Heatmasters Heating & Cooling can help restore your air conditioner’s cooling capability, making it possible to keep your family cooled down properly. Most of the time, a problem will be easy to spot. Odd noises coming from the unit while it’s running or first starting up are usually a sure sign that something is wrong with it. Small debris in the fan area can cause noises while the fan turns, which should be cleaned on a regular basis since this debris can easily damage the unit physically if not removed soon. When a condenser is having problems, it will usually make a noise when the unit first kicks on. Without a properly working condenser, your air conditioning in Lincolnwood will be unable to cool your home down properly.
Most problems that occur with an air conditioner can be easily fixed by an experienced contractor. For more urgent problems, it’s often a good idea to call a contractor that offers emergency repair services in order to get the problem resolved quickly. If you neglect your air conditioner and let a problem persist, you run the risk of the problem increasing in severity and potentially affecting other components in the unit. Not getting your air conditioner cleaned, for example, can allow clogs and debris to block the fan from turning. This in turn can cause physical damage to the fan and unnecessary stress to other areas like the fan motor and condenser. For more information visit at Heatmasters Heating & Cooling or call 773-777-5700.

Look! It's not a Christmas card. Yay! I got my new goodies on Monday night and this is my first creation with the new stuff. I've been wanting this set for so long, but I just kept putting off. I have some scrapbooking to do of a trip to San Diego Zoo, so I finally made this set a priority. This elephant is just so darn cute and he's so sweet, too, offering you a flower. And I love my Photo Corner Punch. It adds a quick accent. I did use some retired ribbon on this one, but it coordinated so well. I had a little fight with the glue dots getting the ribbon lined up, but I wouldn't let them ruin a perfectly good card. I love this little elephant. He's so cute. And I'm sure you'll see plenty more of him around here.

My daughter, Kendra, who lives in Venice Beach, Ca. recently got to meet Sasha Mayer, owner/creator of Willows sunglasses. She was so impressed with these uniquely designed sunglasses that she promptly bought each of us a pair for Christmas. They are like sunglasses, earrings and necklace all in one. I love them!!!! They are so gorgeous and comfortable and stay on neatly.
According to owner/founder, Sasha Mayer, Willows was formed to reinvent the way that classic sunglasses are worn. With so many accessories becoming multi-purpose these days, she felt there was a unique opportunity to explore this concept in eyewear.
By removing the side temples and using a variety of different chains, leather and suedes from which feathers, beads and semi-precious stones hang, Willows has created the original Sunglass-Earring-Necklace and Sunglass-Necklace/Back Necklace in one.
“We love using natural elements such as crystals, smoky quartz and feathers in our designs – as they are healing, grounding and spiritual.”

text: Inhibitors of histone deacetylases have already been shown to improve the awareness of cancers cells to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand TRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity. by this mixture, hence highlighting the pivotal function of the sort II pathway in this technique. These findings give a rationale for the introduction of VA and Apo2L/Path combination being a book molecular healing regimen for thoracic malignancies. . The molecular basis of the intrinsic or obtained level of resistance to AM251 manufacture TRAIL-induced cytotoxicity in a variety of cancers cell lines is certainly complicated and multifactorial . Thankfully, this limitation could be get over by merging recombinant Path receptor ligand with cancers chemotherapeutic agencies (regular cytotoxic medications like cisplatin [23C26], CTP-11 WNT5B , or others [24,26C29] aswell as experimental anticancer medications ) [31,32]. Whereas the root mechanisms in charge of the synergistic connections between chemotherapeutics and Path receptor agonists to mediate deep induction of apoptosis are incompletely grasped, it would appear that recruitment/activation from the intrinsic loss of life pathway (mitochondria mediated) in combination-treated cells has the crucial function [28,33,34]. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs) are structurally different chemical substances that talk about common biologic properties of inducing primary histone hyperacetylation resulting in gene appearance and of mediating powerful antitumor results [35C37]. Some HDACIs are either normally occurring substance like sodium butyrate (a fatty acidity metabolite within high focus in the lumen from the huge intestine) or a pharmacologic substance such as for example valproic acidity (VA, a typically prescribed antiepileptic medication), whereas others are complicated chemical substances isolated from lifestyle broths of micro-organisms (depsipeptide, apicidin, or trichostatin A) or artificial derivatives (MS-275, CI-994). HDACIs are subdivided into four fundamental groupings: short-chain essential fatty acids (sodium butyrate, phenylbutyrate, VA), artificial benzanides derivatives (MS-275, CI-994), cyclic tetrapeptides (depsipeptide, trapoxin, apicidin), and hydroxamic acids [trichostatin A, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acidity (SAHA), LAQ8240] . HDACIs induce differentiation, cell routine arrest, and/or apoptosis of cancers cells in lifestyle and in pet versions [35C37]. Multiple HDACIs (SAHA, depsipeptide, MS275) have already been shown to possess anticancer properties in stage I and II scientific studies [35,38C40]. The antitumor activity of HDACIs continues to be related to both their capability to inhibit deacetylases (resulting in deposition of hyperacetylated histones and alteration of gene transcription) and their capability to suppress mitogenic sign transduction pathways through downregulation of oncoprotein appearance  aswell as their influence on the phenotypic appearance of Bax, Bak, Bcl2, and BclXL resulting in a net upsurge in the proportion of pro- versus antiapoptotic proteins from the Bcl2 superfamily as well as the apoptogenicity from the mitochondria [42C46]. It’s the second option home of HDACIs that people wanted to exploit to potentiate the cytotoxic aftereffect of Apo2L/Path in cultured thoracic malignancy cells (malignancy cell lines produced from tumors from the lung, the esophagus, or the pleura). VA, a generally recommended anti-epileptic medication which the pharmacokinetics and toxicity information are well recorded [47,48], has been shown to become an HDACI [49-51] also to show anticancer activity in and pet models [52C54]. The purpose of this research was to critically measure the cytotoxic aftereffect of the mix of VA and Apo2L/Path in a -panel of cultured thoracic malignancy cells. We noticed that VA + Apo2L/Path mixture synergistically induced serious cytotoxicity and apoptosis of cultured thoracic malignancy cells through the mitochondria-dependent (type II) pathway. Components and Strategies Cell Lines and Reagents Cultured non-small cell lung malignancy (NSCLC) cells H460 and H322; esophageal malignancy (EsC) cells TE2 and TE12; and malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cells H211 and H513 had been managed in RPMI 1640 tradition moderate supplemented with fetal leg serum (10% vol/vol), l-glutamine (1 mM), and antibiotics [streptomycin (100 g/ml)/penicillin (100 U/ml)]. Regular human main fibroblast and human being umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) had been bought from AM251 manufacture Cambrex Bio Technology (Walkerville, MD) and cultivated in their unique culture media according to instructions of owner. Apo2L/Path was from Genentech Inc. via AM251 manufacture an institutional M-CRADA. VA was bought from Alexis (NORTH PARK, CA). Selective caspase 8 or caspase 9 inhibitors had been bought from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN). Bcl2-overexpressing steady transductants of TE2 (TE2Bcl2) and H513 (H513Bcl2) cells had been produced by retrovirally mediated gene transfer using Bcl2-expressing viral vector comprising green fluorescence proteins (GFP) like a selectable marker (generously supplied by P.

Hi, I am and experienced dog groomer. You can clip the hair of any dog and I have clipped many cotons. The breed standard is an unclipped coat. If that's your preference, find a responsible groomer to do it for you. If you hate it, it WILL grow back. It is hair after all. :)

Porcelain Veneers vs. Dental Bonding
Are you unhappy about the appearance of your smile? If you have made the decision to do something about it, look no further than the Philadelphia cosmetic dentistry practice of Dr. Bruce Wilderman: Artistic Expressions Dentistry. At Artistic Expressions Dentistry, we offer many aesthetic services to patients. Some of the most effective cosmetic dentistry procedures are dental bonding and porcelain veneers. The placement of porcelain veneers and application of dental bonding agents produces dramatic smile makeover results for our patients; with these treatments, Dr. Wilderman can hide dental flaws and create exceptionally beautiful smiles.
Fabricated from a solid piece of porcelain, veneers are milled to fit over the front and underside of the tooth, fully covering the visible parts of the tooth. Dr. Wilderman can determine if your veneers should augment tooth length to improve proportion, augment tooth width to close gaps or fill chips, or be made in a brighter shade of white to address discoloration.
Although porcelain veneers are an excellent treatment option for many patients, some patients prefer to undergo dental bonding treatment.
The dental bonding and porcelain veneers procedures share some similarities; in both of these treatments, the appearance of the natural tooth is masked to hide dental imperfections. Dental bonding treats many of the same cosmetic flaws as veneers, but the manner in which the procedure is performed is quite different. With dental bonding, a smooth, tooth-colored solution is applied to the teeth. The solution can be used to cover tooth stains or fill in small chips or gaps. Once the dental bonding agent has been applied and shaped, a specialized dental light is used to accelerate the hardening process of the bonding material. Once the bonding solution is sufficiently cured, Dr. Wilderman may apply additional layers, or refine and polish the tooth.
In general, candidates for porcelain veneers have more extensive cosmetic problems, while dental bonding patients have minor aesthetic issues. Dental bonding is usually done on one or two teeth. When patients want to makeover all of the front facing teeth, Dr. Wilderman may recommend the use of porcelain veneers over dental bonding.
Dental bonding treatment is less expensive than porcelain veneers. Porcelain veneers must be custom fabricated at an offsite laboratory, contributing to the increased cost of the procedure.
Length of Treatment
Since porcelain veneers must be crafted to the patient's unique specifications, the treatment process takes more time than that of dental bonding. Dental bonding treatment can be completed in one quick appointment that lasts about an hour. Porcelain veneers takes at least two appointments. During the first appointment, the teeth are prepared and an impression is taken; during the second appointment, which is a week or two later, the porcelain veneers can be secured to the teeth.
For our patients in Philadelphia, porcelain veneers and dental bonding offer excellent smile makeover results. Dr. Wilderman can examine your smile and advise you of your ideal treatment options. Contact Artistic Expressions Dentistry today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Wilderman.
