To help one million small business owners build businesses that sustain them, their community, and our planet.
Hi, I'm Cherith Roberson.
I'm a small business counselor and coach, writer of The Guided Small Business Planner™, mom of two, and small business owner.
When I worked one-on-one with small business owners, I often experienced the frustration of not having enough time to answer all of their questions or walk them through every obstacle that I knew they'd encounter.
I wanted to make sure they knew what to do next and what to avoid! When I looked for solutions to send to them, I found vague how-to articles and guides that didn't provide enough information to be helpful.
So I got to work, writing down each step of the process of creating a business. I applied real-life examples and a new way of building a business was born!
We help business owners navigate the ups and downs of building the business they want.
Our rules are: Clear, simple, no-fluff, and actionable! Stop doubting yourself. Meet your small business map — The Guided Small Business Planner™.
Help create and build strong small businesses by providing simple and effective tools to small business owners.

New cycling legislation will come into effect on Tuesday night which will make it an offence to dangerously overtake pedal cyclists.
It's been something cyclist have campaigned for tirelessly in recent months, having staged 'die-ins' outside Dublin City Council's Wood Quay offices.
Today's top videos
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Gardai have announced the new legislation will come into effect as of midnight on Tuesday evening.
The Road Traffic (Traffic and Parking) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 builds on the existing legislation with regard to dangerous overtaking.
These regulations divide the offence of dangerous overtaking to make it a separate offence to dangerously overtake a pedal cyclist.
This separate offence will carry an increased fixed charge of €120 and three penalty points. This will particularly target drivers who put cyclists at risk.
Chief Superintendent Paul Cleary said: 'Cyclists are one of the most vulnerable road user groups and tragically this year there have been nine cyclists killed on our roads, compared with eight at this point last year.
'An Garda Siochana therefore welcomes these new measures which increases the penalty for drivers that put cyclists at risk and also the suite of educational measures to change driver behaviour.
'Drivers must give cyclists room to cycle safely, especially when overtaking.'
Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Shane Ross TD stated: 'This law will target and punish drivers who are guilty of this deadly, dangerous behaviour.
'Equally important is the impact I hope it will have on driver behaviour. It will provide a heightened awareness of the importance of sharing road space in a respectful and safe manner.
'Too many cyclists have frankly terrifying tales to tell of intimidatingly close passes and near misses. And we are all sadly aware of the worrying numbers of cyclists being killed and injured on our roads, despite a downward trend in road fatalities more generally.'
Speaking on the introduction of the new law, Moyagh Murdock, Chief Executive, Road Safety Authority (RSA) said: 'Drivers should always allow safe passing distances for cyclists and should always adjust their behaviour to suit the road environment.
'This includes slowing down and ensuring you pass cyclists when it is safe to do so, and critically, giving them the space to ride safe. Drivers need to remember that in the event of a collision, a cyclist will always come off worse.
'The introduction of this new law with tough penalties for drivers who flout it, is very timely given that we have tragically lost 9 cyclists in fatal crashes to date in 2019.'
With the new legislation, signage warning motorists to allow adequate space when overtaking cyclists will be rolled out.
The signage includes providing for a one metre distance overtaking space (in locations with speed limits less than 50km/h) and 1.5 metre distance (where speed limit exceeds 50 km/h).
The Road Safety Authority (RSA) will underpin the introduction of the new law changes through a radio, digital and outdoor advertising campaign.
In addition it will continue to run its TV led campaign which advises drivers to slow down and provide for at least 1.5 metres space between cyclists and drivers.
The legislation coming into effect comes after a cyclist was seriously injured when the man was struck by a car.
The cyclist, a man in his 30s, collided with the car, driven by a man in his 50s, on the N71 at Eric, Moll's Gap, Co Kerry on October 6.

There’s a myth that says only fictional writing needs to be creative. This implies that any other sort of writing, i.e. non-fiction, can be as dull as dishwater and that’s fine. To this I have only one response. Rubbish! Your non-fiction may actually require more creativity on your part to become a readable item than any short story or a play. After all, you usually get to choose the plot and characters in a story. In factual writing, you’re stuck with what is handed to you and sometimes, you need a lot of creative talent to make the subject something anyone would want to read. For more creative writing, just follow these simple steps.
First, no matter how dull the subject matter, find an aspect or angle on it that holds a glimmer of interest. If there is no such angle, and the subject is the equivalent of watching paint dry, then try changing your angle. Write from a tongue-in-cheek, semi-humorous perspective or from an expert’s opinion. Perhaps you can add in some comments about a related subject that is not so dull. Be creative in your creative writing approach.
Secondly, you need to liven up your verbiage. Dump those passive sentences and the usual trite adjectives and adverbs. Dull subjects require interesting wording. Instead of discussing “paint drying on a wall”, try describing “the transition from dark liquid red to a soft russet hue as the paint is absorbed by the drywall”. It’s the same thing, but it sounds more interesting in the second example.
Step three is a reminder. Do not let yourself get so bogged down in this subject that you stop caring what sort of work you turn out. All writing that is going to either be viewed or published and has been written by you affects the overall perception of your work by others, including potential employers. So, dig deep and find a way to make the drying paint into a verdant change in wall color. It can be done, but it will take more time, more effort and more determination.
Finding the angle, either on the subject or for your take on that subject, is a start. Follow that up with lively, interesting phrases that makes the boring more boisterous and, lastly, don’t indulge in writer’s pity. Instead, when you’re handed a plate of boring subjects about which you are to write, celebrate it as a challenge and embrace it as such. Your work will benefit, as will your reputation.
Words generate thoughts. Thoughts generate ideas. Ideas generate actions. The right words, therefore, can generate thoughts about your product line. The right thoughts, induced by these words, can give someone an idea about shopping your site for those products. The right idea will send them to yours site where they will, hopefully, take the right action and buy. It all begins, however, with the words. Successfully marketing your business with words is critical for the survival of companies whose primary source of business is the Internet.
Perhaps you have a site where you sell old books, vintage and rare collectors sorts of books. You need to generate interest in your site, so you submit an article or entry to a popular on-line blog dedicated to the collector of antique books. If you word your article correctly, you’ll be able to draw readers from the blog to your site by generating those thoughts, ideas and actions that turn readers into shoppers. Whether you are subtle and simply settle for SEO content to pull them in through search engines, or you are able to lace the article with hyperlinks that will connect them directly to your site, these words are key to generating site traffic and, ultimately, sales.
Finding the right words, however, can be hard. That’s why there are so many on-line writing companies with professional writers ready to help. Securing their services can ensure you have the right words in your next creative writing task to start the word to action process moving in your favor.

The Chatter of Doom
Wow, look: Even more anthro animals at war! Is this some kind of a trend? In Squarriors (new from Devil’s Due Entertainment) we join a band of squirrels living after the apocalypse. “Squarriors is the epic saga of warring animals in a post-human world. Specifically a small tribe known as the Tin Kin, and their struggles building a life in the new world while confronting the hostile neighboring Maw tribe. Two tribes of animals find themselves on the brink of war. Will they survive and find peace, or follow humanity into extinction?” That’s the question posed by artist Ashley Witter and writer Ash Maczko in this new full-color comic book series. Like many recent projects it all began on Kickstarter, and now it’s on its way to comic book stores in early December. Check out the official Squarriors web site, and a press release from the creators over at Mad Mimi. WARNING: Graphic, bloody images abound. You have been warned.

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled that students at underperforming Detroit public schools have a constitutional right to literacy. Thursday’s ruling by the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati follows a lower court’s dismissal of a 2016 lawsuit filed against state officials on behalf of some students. The appeals court wrote that a basic minimum education should be recognized as a fundamental right. It sent the lawsuit back to the lower court. The lawsuit claimed schools were in “slum-like conditions” and “functionally incapable of delivering access to literacy.” Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s says it’s reviewing the ruling.

Baltimore City Community College and the Community College of Baltimore County are initiating new scholarship programs this fall semester thanks to grants from
The Abell Foundation
. The scholarships are open to 75 low-income graduates of Baltimore City public high schools at BCCC and at CCBC
The Abell Foundation grants of $218,000 to each school establishes the BCCC Aspiring Scholars program and the CCBC
Strive For Excellence program, according to Stan Brown, BCCC’s dean of special projects and Hope Davis, CCBC
’s director of media relations.
Both programs are one-year pilot programs that provide stipends of up to $1,000 per student per semester for a total of 150 qualifying students. The scholarships are performance-based, meaning that students must maintain a minimum 2.0 grade point average each semester.
The BCCC and CCBC
programs are modeled after similar community college programs in other states, where they have proven successful in encouraging students to stay in school.
Over the summer, BCCC actively recruited students for the program via its website, mailings and social media. BCCC has so far awarded scholarships to close to 60 students, with the remainder to be awarded in the spring semester.
Brown says students can renew their scholarships each semester, up to three continuous semesters. The program is to full- and part-time students, who may enroll in either a certificate or an associate degree program.
Brown says The Abell Foundation approached Dr. Carolane Williams, BCCC president, with the program. Over the past two years, BCCC has increased foundation and corporate funding support by 49 percent, and increased student graduation by 28 percent over the same period.
Both BCCC and CCBC
have hired a full-time academic advisor to oversee their programs and to mentor the students who receive the scholarships so they can maintain the stipends.

Motocross Madness Tips and Tricks
If you want to master Motocross Madness and beat your opponents, you may need some tips and tricks to improve your performance. Here are some of them:
Know how to wheelie properly: Wheelies are not only cool, but also useful. They can help you gain speed, avoid obstacles, and perform stunts. To do a wheelie, press and hold the right trigger while leaning back with the left stick. Release the trigger when you want to land. Be careful not to lean too far back or you will fall off your bike.
Proper landings also help: Landing smoothly can make a big difference in your race time. To land properly, you need to align your bike with the slope of the ground and adjust your speed accordingly. Try to land on your rear wheel first and then on your front wheel. Avoid landing on flat surfaces or at sharp angles.
Donât be afraid to restart: Sometimes, you may make a mistake that costs you the race. Instead of continuing with a bad run, you can restart the event by pressing the back button. This will save you time and frustration.
Go fast and furious: Speed is essential in Motocross Madness. You can boost your speed by using the nitro button (A) when available, by performing tricks in mid-air, by slipstreaming behind other riders, and by taking shortcuts. You can also upgrade your bike's engine, suspension, tires, and nitro capacity to make it faster.
Bike conservatively: While speed is important, you also need to be careful not to damage your bike. Your bike has a health bar that shows how much damage it can take before it breaks down. You can damage your bike by crashing into obstacles, falling off cliffs, or landing badly. You can repair your bike by collecting wrenches on the track or by finishing an event.
Motocross Madness is a game that requires skill, strategy, and practice. By following these tips and tricks, you can improve your race time and have more fun. 061ffe29dd

July 21, 2023
Tony Bennett, the vintage crooner who re-established himself in old age as an eternally hip American original, died Friday at 96 after battling Alzheimer's disease.
Bennett had been dealing with the illness since 2016, yet carried on performing and recording until 2021, when he publicized his battle and gave farewell performances with frequent collaborator Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall.
His final live performance and public appearance was in August of that year, the same hear he released his last album, Love for Sale, which became a Top 10 hit and established a new record — Bennett, then 95, was certified as the oldest person to release an album of entirely new material.
Bennett was born on August 3, 1926, in Queens, New York. After nightmarish service in WWII that established his lifelong pacifism, he began recording in 1949.
Signed to Columbia the following year, his first big hit was 1951's "Because of You," a song his estate said was the last he played on the piano, days before his death.
Other chart toppers included "Cold, Cold Heart" (1951), "Rags to Riches" (1953) and "Stranger in Paradise" (1953).
A master interpreter of the American songbook who differentiated himself from Frank Sinatra (a big admirer), he tackled the explosion of rock 'n' roll in a variety of ways — by covering popular Broadway tunes, by briefly hosting (in 1956) his own TV series and appearing prolifically on the new medium, by venturing organically into jazz, and by working up a nightclub act that served as a blueprint for many other performers in the same predicament.
He was also one of the guests on the first installment of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1962. With his passing, only 97-year-old Mel Brooks remains from that broadcast.
That same year, Bennett's cover of the 10-year-old song "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" became his signature tune, earning him a Grammy and going on to become one of the most famous recordings of the last century — even though it only mustered a Top 20 appearance on the Billboard Hot 100.
Having weathered rock, the British invasion sank Bennett for over a decade. He lived beyond his means and developed a drug addiction that culminated, in 1979, in a cocaine overdose that nearly ended it all.
Unsure of how to proceed, Bennett asked his sons for help. Danny Bennett, a musician of limited talent — but in possession of a sharp business mind — stepped in and began helping to rebrand his dad. Instead of leaning into the lounge-lizard vibe, they put Bennet on hip TV shows like Late Night with David Letterman. Instead of playing Vegas, he toured colleges.
With effort, Tony Bennett became hip in his 60s.
Bennett returned to the album charts in the '80s, and even sang an Oscar-nominated tune — "Life in a Looking Glass" from 1986's That's Life.
Most transformatively, Bennett began as association with MTV in the '90s, leading to his special MTV Unplugged and its ensuing 1994 album MTV Unplugged: Tony Bennett, which won the Grammy for Album of the Year over works by the Three Tenors, Bonnie Raitt, Seal and Eric Clapton.
In 2006, Bennett enjoyed his highest-ever Billboard 200 entry with the album Duets: An American Classic, which contained Amy Winehouse's last recording, the moving collaboration "Body and Soul."
He topped it by hitting pole position on the albums chart for the first time with Duets II in 2011, which led to a fruitful collaboration with Lady Gaga. Their album Cheek to Cheek broke his own record as the oldest person with a chart-topping album — he was 88 when it debuted atop the Billboard 200 in 2014.
It spawned a live album and tour that not only rejuvenated Bennett's career, it gave Gaga's own career a jump-start after her disappointing showing with 2013's Artpop.
His final album was also with Lady Gaga, 2021's Love for Sale.
Bennett released over 70 albums throughout his career, over 60 studio albums, sold more than 50 million records, won 18 competitive Grammys and was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Grammy, won two Emmys and was a Kennedy Center Honoree (2005).
He's survived by his wife Susan Benedetto, his sons, Danny and Dae Bennett, his daughters Johanna Bennett and Antonia Bennett, and his nine grandchildren.

Fight for Survival Series Book #2
Softcover w/ duplex design
A year later and Amity Thorne is still struggling to let things go. She should be using the rage to drive her, but instead the Guardianship has needled into her heart, leaving her anger to turn inward. Reeling from her past, Amity is compelled to do what's necessary to protect those around her.
After ending up in the same facility as her sister, Amity learns of the depravity weaved within the Reaver's psyche—and worse, the darkness that creeps behind every corner of her own. Waging wars within the mind comes at a cost, and it's one Amity may not be able to afford. How long will she be able to fight before her guilt completely consumes her?
Lucas Warin was never afraid of anything—not even Death—until he met Amity. Despite always facing the unknown head on, Luke struggles to trust his feelings and the lack of control that comes with them. When M is stuck in a place he tried so desperately to keep her away from, the same powerlessness he's felt before floods him once again.
Tasked with keeping Sarge safe, Luke must risk everything to not break his promise; juggling survival and keeping his word proves more difficult with each passing day. As the Guardianship closes in, Luke is torn between his own will to stay and Amity’s demands to leave. But if he takes off to Creyke Point, is he choosing to give up on her, or is he finally choosing to do the right thing?

As reported late last night by Utah Jazz radio personality David Locke, Trey Burke did not make it on the plane to Phoenix. I am assuming that his flu-like symptoms have hampered him for a while to the point that Quin Snyder and the rest of the on-court decision makers decided to keep him in Utah. The Jazz are already without starting point guard , and combo guard -- however, was signed to a second 10-Day contract. That contract will expire during the All-Star Break. Both Green and Burke played three minutes last night. Snyder has been leaning more on at times during the month and I suspect he will do so again tonight against the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns aren't so hot right now either. Ronnie Price has a right big toe surgery rehab going on. So, who is left? Archie Goodwin. So for the Jazz holding Trey out right now isn't that harmful. It's not a bad time to sit a game out and get healthy, particularly if his poorer play this week was a consequence of ill health.has a torn meniscus in his left knee and is out for the rest of the season. has a left adductor strain and is supposed to be out for the All-Star Break and hopes to return after. And
Phoenix is supposed to be motivated after firing a head coach.seems to just have inherited the headache that finally got rid of. The Suns have lost six in a row, 12 of their last 13, and 21 of their last 23. It would be awful to lose today to them.
Back to Trey, he has played in 49 of 49 games for the Jazz this season. This will be his first game missed of the season. During 2015-2016 almost everyone has spend some time out, with Trey missing tonight the only guy to have played in all of them will be Gordon Hayward.


ERIE, PA. — Conformal cooling — molds with water lines that curve to direct cooling water to targeted areas of the tool — is getting a facelift thanks to additive manufacturing, according to Lou Young, director of new business development for Linear Mold and Engineering Inc.
The service provider in Livonia, Mich., uses direct metal laser sintering to make conformal inserts for molds, to channel cooling water to thick areas and other “hot spots,” which can be harder to cool. Building inserts up, layer by layer, allows Linear Mold and Engineering to make water channels that would be impossible with traditional drilling, he said.
Cooling a molded part can account for 40 percent of the molding cycle time. Conformal cooling can reduce cooling to just 10 percent of the cycle, Young said at Penn State Erie's Innovation and Emerging Plastics Technologies Conference, held June 18-19. The key, he added, is keeping uniform temperatures throughout the part.
Selective use of conformal cooling can reduce cycle time, and cut scrap and warped parts, Young said.
“Conformal cooling has been awhile for awhile, but it's back in the limelight now with additive manufacturing,” he said.


ABC’s Scandal is continuing down the path of bringing social justice issues into the primetime slot, though it is admittedly trailing fellow ABC show Designated Survivor. To save face, it looks like the show cramed several PC elements into one plot by introducing the lesbian Muslim university student striving to be the next Gloria Steinem. Can we get anymore to the left at this point?
The November 2 episode “Adventures in Babysitting” follows the Grant Administration handling the aftermath of a military coup in the fictional Middle Eastern country of Bashran. While President Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young) handles former Bashran President Rashad (Faran Tahir) as she plans to go to war to regain the Muslim country for him, Olivia Pope’s (Kerry Washington) associates handle Rashad’s niece, Yasmeen, as they remove her from the public for her own safety. The latter is easier said than done as the university-aged girl resents being cut off from technology and her friends against her will.
However, that’s only the tip of this iceberg as the episode later reveals that Yasmeen secretly contacts someone anyway: her girlfriend. Never mind that the Muslim niece of a Middle Eastern president going to an American university would be so outrageous to the people of her country that she has to use a fake name, they have to make her a lesbian, too. If Scandal went on for one more season, I wouldn’t have been surprised if she just identified as a man.
In the end President Rashad and Yasmeen head off to return to Bashran to reform the oppressive country:
Yasmeen: Well, thanks. Sorry about the whole running away thing.
Charlie: Well, good luck, kid. It was nice getting to know you.
Yasmeen: I don't know what to say. Thank you, and sorry I didn't make it easier.
Quinn: How'd your girlfriend take it -- you deciding to go back?
Yasmeen: She's proud of me, I think. She wants me to be Bashran's Gloria Steinem.
Quinn: Your country will be lucky to have you.
Sheesh, it’s not enough that a Muslim niece of a Middle Eastern country’s president has to be gay, but they have to bring radical feminist Gloria Steinem’s name into it as well. At this point, the only social justice issue they haven’t brought up in the scene is economic inequality, and they’ve had plenty of time to talk about that in other episodes.
In the only section of the world where feminism of any kind is desperately needed, the last thing we need a reminder of is the feminist our county doesn’t need. Rather than idolizing the woman who claimed, “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle,” we should probably be encouraging countries in the Middle East to do things like, let’s say, not stone victims of rape or throw acid at girls wanting to get an education. Sadly, that may not be politically correct enough for a show with the gay Muslim girl.

The No. 2 seed Dassel-Coakto/Litchfield wrestling team steamrolled No. 7 Rocori 72-3 to advance to the Section 6AA semifinals. Theywill take on Annandale/Maple Lake in the semifinals after their victory over Zimmerman Thursday.
The boys really dominated this dual. In the 11 matches that DC/L wrestled, three were forfeits, eight ended in a pin. The only grapplers who didn't score bonus points were Sam Marx (145) and Noah Halonen (160). Both were a few points away from getting bonus points, but they still won their match.
“We did a good job of getting bonus points and setting the tone tonight,” head coach Bryan Clemen said in a statement. “We need to bring that intensity and physicality to our matches tomorrow.”
DC/L will be in Zimmerman for the semifinals and potentially finals on Friday. The semifinals begin at 6 p.m. with the finals beginning at 8 p.m.

Nearly three quarters of people in the lowest income bracket have struggled with their mental health, a major new study shows.
Seventy-three per cent of those whose household income is less than £1,200 per month have experienced problems, and the figure rises to 85 per cent of people who are out of work.
This compares to 59 per cent of people from the top household income bracket of more than £3,701 per month.
The figures come from the Mental Health Foundation to mark Mental Health Awareness Week and show that more than half the population (65 per cent) have experienced a mental health problem, such as depression or a panic attack.
Now the Foundation is calling for a Royal Commission to seek ways of preventing mental ill health, focusing on reducing the risk.
It also wants to see mental health included in NHS screening programmes and more money channeled to research into prevention. An annual report on the state of the nation’s mental health also forms part of its proposals.
“Our report lays out the sheer scale of the problem. This isn’t an issue that just affects a minority,” said Jenny Edwards, chief executive of the Mental Health Foundation.
“We know that only a minority of people experiencing mental ill health access professional support, which means that we need to redouble our efforts to prevent mental health problems from developing in the first place.
“This Mental Health Awareness Week we want to give people some of the tools to move from surviving to thriving. The barometer of any nation is the health and happiness of its people. We have made great strides in the health of our bodies, we now need to achieve the same for the health of our minds.”

Rehan Bayan says that she hasn’t had a social life in five years.
From the start of the revolution, the political activist attended demonstrations, provided first aid to injured protesters, attended activists’ funerals and covered regime violations in the media in the opposition-held rural Damascus countryside.
Now, Rehan heads the Office of Women’s Affairs in Douma’s local council. She coordinates events to inspire women to be politically active in East Ghouta, an opposition enclave in the suburbs of Damascus that is ruled by Islamist brigades Jaish al-Islam and Failaq a-Rahman.
Rehan says she is one of the few women in East Ghouta involved in politics.
Once, when she screened a film about women and politics, a group of masked men raided a film screening and beat her with clubs.
“Some men don’t accept or respect women who work in politics,” Rehan tells Syria Direct’s Alaa Nasser and Razan Yasin.
“They reject the idea of a woman sitting next to them because they think she’s beneath them.”
Q: Which difficulties do you face as one of the few women in East Ghouta who work in politics? In your opinion, why aren’t more women politically involved?
Since the beginning of the revolution, it has been very difficult for me to enter the political arena as a woman. I feel like I haven’t had a social life for these past five years because I’m spending all of my time and energy on the revolution. Also, few women are working in this field.
This low political participation among women is the biggest challenge I face. Most of the burden falls on the few politically active women because every time there is something to address, we have to confront it.
To add to this, some men don’t accept or respect women who work in politics. Some men reject the idea of a woman sitting next to them because they think she’s beneath them.
Most women don’t believe that they have an important role in society or that they can change things. A woman is her own enemy when she doesn’t believe in her ability to change and to build the community.
Rehan, far left, on September 30. Poster reads “The women of Aleppo, Ghouta and Idlib are one. All of us are against Russian intervention. Stop Russian aggression.” Photo courtesy of Bayan Rehan’s Facebook page.
Q: Have you ever been threatened because of your political activism? What is the most difficult situation you have been in?
I’ve encountered many difficult situations, I can’t tell you which is the hardest.
One event stands out to me. When I first began to discuss women in politics, I organized a film screening that discussed how British women obtained their rights at the beginning of the 20th century. During the screening, a group of masked men attacked me with clubs. I was seriously injured from the beatings.
Q: On December 9, 2013, Douma human rights activist Razan Zaitouneh was kidnapped from her office. How did you and your family respond?
When Razan was detained, my family was very scared that I would be arrested too.
Q: What inspired you to conduct the “Women and Politics” workshop?
Women in Syria have endured extremely difficult and trying times. They have given up so much during this conflict. Women have been arrested, injured and killed. They have lost their sons, brothers and husbands.
: On October 8, Rehan conducted a workshop entitled “Women and Politics” with 30 female activists in East Ghouta, Umayya Press reported
And yet, despite all that women have sacrificed, they still face a basic problem—weak political representation and performance within the Coalition government.
.: The National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition forces, or the Syrian Coalition was founded in 2012, with the purpose of “aiding and supporting the revolutionary forces…and to transition Syria towards a democratic and pluralistic civil state,” according to its website
Women don’t have a voice outside Syria. Because of that, an internal movement has emerged within East Ghouta to empower qualified women who are participating in the revolution behind the scenes, not just those who are on stage.
Q: What was the purpose of the workshop? What did you discuss with the 30 female activists who attended?
The point of the workshop was to discuss the challenges and obstacles to women’s participation in politics. During the workshop, we discussed the status quo in detail. We talked about our most important demands as women and how we are represented abroad, in the Coalition government.
To be honest, even the women in the Coalition government don’t represent us women who are still in Syria, and the reality that we are living in. They don’t represent the mother of a detainee, injured child or martyr. They don’t represent female detainees in regime prisons.
We focused on how to overcome these challenges and developed an action plan to have real impact on the ground. We will discuss the plan during future workshops.
Q: East Ghouta is a conservative area. Women have trouble finding work in general, so how do you expect them to get involved in political work? To what extent did women accept the workshop?
We’ve suffered financially because of the war. Before the conflict, many Syrians didn’t think that women should work. As the conflict continued, a significant change occurred—many men died or went to prison. As a result, it became necessary for women to work to support their households.
Women found jobs to alleviate hunger and to protect their families from the effects of the siege.
: Regime forces encircled Douma in June 2012.]
Society, which had rejected women in the workforce, began to accept the idea that women can work.
Only one percent of women are working in politics. Despite that, many women approved of the workshop. Some said it should have happened a long time ago.
Q: People have directly and indirectly accused the Islamist factions that govern East Ghouta of restricting women’s work. How do the factions influence your work? Did you need approval to run the workshop?
There is no theological opposition to women working. Even the religious authorities have female employees who engage in civilian work.
No, I didn’t need approval to conduct the workshop.
Q: Did anyone oppose the workshop?
Initially, no. Most people were occupied with the regime, which was bombing us with phosphorous, cluster bombs and vacuum missiles.
Q: How did you become involved in politics?
My family influenced me the most. I come from a revolutionary family that was active during the days of the French occupation. As a result, I’ve had a strong political foundation ever since I was young. When the revolution began, I immediately became an active participant.
Q: Has your family supported you from the beginning? How did the society view women’s participation in the revolution?
Our society is pretty conservative. At the beginning of the revolution, people in East Ghouta—and Syria in general—were against women’s political involvement.
They were afraid that a woman would be arrested or raped if she became politically active. Plus, the regime used to play on our fears. As a result, people generally opposed women’s participation in the uprising. They were concerned for women’s safety.
Fortunately, I’m from an educated and understanding family. My friends also believed in my work, which gave me an incentive to continue to tear down obstacles.


text: A common theme for our market notes over the past few months has been the emerging trend of banks in the US moving aggressively to extend credit in the form of housing and construction loans. The two main sources of bank profitability in the years following the financial crisis, home refinancing and securities trading, have slowed considerably this year. To make up for these lost sources of revenue and profits and to take advantage of the improvement in home prices and consumer credit quality, banks are once again marketing home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs. As reported by the Wall Street Journal last week, citing a report by Inside Mortgage Finance, HELOCs in the first quarter grew by 8% year/year to $13 billion. That is the largest first quarter increase since 2009. While still well the below the record $113B extended in the third quarter of 2006, the increase continues the trend of credit availability. One of our pillars for improved US economic growth during 2014 is a stronger consumer. Based on the re-emergence of HELOCs, as well as easier lending standards for other types of loans, banks seem ready and willing to help the idea of increased spending become reality.

I am mad at DIRECTV because my daughter Nikki is mad at DIRECTV.
I don't understand all the Time Warner Cable, SportsNet LA, DIRECTV licensing mumbo jumbo. All I know is my 36-year-old daughter Nikki can't watch her beloved Los Angeles Dodgers on DIRECTV this season. If she is unhappy, so is her dad.
I checked my monthly DIRECTV bill. Lo and behold. The rate is still the same. No reduction of rate for reduction of a viewing service. I wish I knew where the CEO of DIRECTV lived.
I am a casual L.A. Dodgers fan at best. How did Nikki become so enamored with the Dodgers?
We lost my live-in father-in-law, Mr. Mesa, last July. He was 91 years old and lived with my family for the last 17 years of his life...almost half my marriage to my wife, Susie. Ask anyone who knew Mr. Mesa. He was a diehard L.A. Dodgers fan. Watching the Dodgers was one of life's simple pleasures for him.
Little interest was initially expressed from my then-younger children, who include Brenna, Sean and Aaron when grandpa would insist on watching his Dodgers baseball. We enjoyed watching him watch baseball. You could tell when the game was close because he would leave his room, mumble something about those L.A. Dodgers "slugs" and take a walk to relieve the pressure and tension of a potential lose or win.
Now that Mr. Mesa is gone, my daughter Nikki is now the resident L.A. Dodgers fan. Her enthusiasm has become contagious. Just ask her husband, Carlos.
Time Warner Cable, SportsNet LA, DIRECTV inability to "just get along" has brought a new old summer baseball tradition into our home. And as though television never existed, we now sit in our darkened living room and watch baseball on radio. I know it sounds strange to say but "watching" baseball on radio somehow connects you to a time long gone...a more peaceful and relaxing time.
I remember growing up in southeast Bakersfield, my dad, Larry, barbecuing hot dogs in our back yard, listening to Vin Scully say, "Hi everybody and a very pleasant good evening to you wherever you may be. Welcome to Dodger baseball." I will never forget that 1965 September night Vinny called Sandy Koufax's perfect game against the Chicago Cubs.
Because of Scully's magic with words, you could "see" on radio every pitch, every missed swing and the groan of the crowd as the bat cracked the ball foul. Many regard his play-by-play call of that game's ninth inning as the best announcing in sports history. Not just baseball. Any sport. Vin Scully made us "watch" the game on radio with our hearts.
So I guess I should be thanking Time Warner Cable, SportsNet LA and DIRECTV. I no longer need the address of DIRECTV's CEO.
Your bad mojo has brought a new chapter of togetherness into our home. Each time we "watch" baseball on radio in our living room I can thank you for bringing back those memories of long ago and melting them into what I hope to become new memories of today for my children.
And thank you Nikki for continuing to carry the L.A. Dodgers banner in our home. Each time we invite Vin Scully into our living room, we really do "watch" the L.A. Dodgers on radio with our hearts...remembering grandpa as we continue to cheer for his L.A. Dodger "slugs."
Go "Dodger Blue!

Smart Parts was a paintball manufacturing company in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, which filed for liquidation on July 28, 2010. As of August 22, 2010 Smart Parts Assets and IP was Acquired by Kee Action Sports.

Smart Parts was a producer of paintball markers and accessories. Their first product was the Smart Parts aluminium one piece barrel made for the Tippmann 68 Special and the PMI-3 semi automatic markers. This barrel had a standard bore with a spiral drilled venting system in the end of the barrel. The design supposedly improved accuracy by decreasing turbulence as the paintball exited the barrel, and also decreased noise produced by the gun upon firing. The later All-American Barrel was a two-piece barrel system using spiral porting and a front bore diameter of 68 caliber. In the early to mid 90's SP's products ranged from barrels and clothing to a few generic accessories along with some marker specific ones (such as parts for the AirGun Designs Automag series).
Smart Parts produced The Freak paintball marker barrel system that can accommodate almost any size bore diameter paintball. The Freak kit comes standard with eight different sized barrel inserts including: .679,.682,.684,.687,.689,.691,.693,.695. Along with the eight inserts includes the Freak kit case as well as the Freak back piece. The front barrel piece is sold separately in different lengths in order to accommodate all barrel lengths.

pneuVentures Shocker & Shocker Sport
In 1990, Smart Parts produced their first in-house marker. Called the Boss, the Smart Parts pump marker featured a spiral ported barrel and a 'shoebox' style body (which would be mirrored in their first electronic gun design); The Boss was targeted at high-end woodsball tournament players but was not well-received, being considered to be too heavy and too large (when compared to offerings such as the Carter Comp or LAPCO Grey Ghost). The Boss was withdrawn from the market and Smart Parts concentrated on producing customized versions of other manufacturer's markers until 1996 when Smart Parts began selling their first electronic marker, the Shocker. This marker was manufactured by a company called pneuVentures, but sold exclusively through Smart Parts. This original Shocker was a dual-solenoid, closed bolt, hammerless marker that was large, heavy, inefficient, and could fire a maximum speed of 9 shots per second. A couple thousand of these were sold over the course of its lifetime. Other companies that had been working on their own electronic markers also released them about the same time (WDP Angel - 1996, Brass Eagle Rainmaker - 1997).
The pneuVentures Shocker was sold until 1997 when Smart Parts redesigned it and started producing it themselves. This redesigned marker, which became known as the Shocker Sport, was released in 1998. It included a number of major revisions to the original design, including a more lightweight profile, improved electronics and grounding, a faster cycling set of internals, and better solenoids. The Shocker Sport was sold from 1998 to 2002, and the design of its external look changed a few times during that period. A few companies even released their own customized versions, mainly the Planet Eclipse Shocker (which was manufactured by Smart Parts for the company Planet Eclipse, which at the time didn't make any markers of their own). Another customized Shocker was the SL Shocker from HyperSportWorks.
Shocker Sports were the first factory marker to feature an enhanced firing mode, which later became known as "ramping". This firing mode was called Turbo mode by Smart Parts, and involved a firing program whereby the user would pull the trigger around 5 times per second, and the marker's actual firing speed would increase to over 9 shots per second. This type of firing mode was largely unheard-of in the industry at the time, so people were conflicted about its use. Turbo mode became illegal to use in tournaments and on some open-play recreational games due to the obvious advantage it gave the user. After the turn of the century, ramping modes have become more and more popular, and many markers come with them as stock from the factory. As a result, the use of ramping modes has become more mainstream, and is allowed in some recreational games and some tournaments. However, this varies from game to game and tournament circuit to circuit, so it is still disallowed by many fields.
The Impulse was released in the year 2000 and was the sister design to SP's other marker available at the time, the Shocker Sport. Over the course of its lifetime the Impulse became one of the most popular markers available, and was notable for following many trends for parts, style, and features in the paintball industry on the turn of the century.
Impulses had a similar appearance to the Shocker Sport, however they were internally quite different; Impulses were based on the common "stacked-tube" hammer/valve layout (two bore design, bolt on top with the hammer on bottom). In contrast to the Shocker Sport, Impulses were capable of faster fire rates, were more lightweight, were cheaper, and also experienced greater tank efficiency. As a result, the gaining popularity of this product over the Shocker was foreseeable. Impulses were one of many stacked-tube electronic markers developed around the same time by opposing companies. Markers such as this were considered to be the top-end by many players (typically those involved with tournaments), and as a result the cost for upgraded versions was quite high ($1000+).
In 2001, Smart Parts released a variety of upgrades and enhancements to the Impulse line, including the Vision eye system, upgraded bolts, improved valves and internals, and other smaller upgrade components. The Vision electronic eye system was particularly popular since few other markers were available with such a part from the factory (this has since changed, and the feature is a near-requirement from manufacturers). In 2002, the electronics were redesigned to the "Cricket" version, which involved a more reliable circuit board that also used more developed programming.
The other growing trend that Impulses followed were the addition of stylish milling patterns and designs, suited for different retailers and sponsored teams. This has become a popular trend for the more expensive markers of today. There were over 30 customized body styles and parts available known as "Private Labels" before the marker was discontinued. Contingent to this was the growing number of parts and accessories available for the Impulse line as well, from various manufacturers and developers, which allowed nearly every part of the marker to be swapped for an "aftermarket" version. The serial number of the marker is located on the right-hand side towards the back.

In 2009 Smart Parts released another Impulse, a high-end marker that used the ram driven operation of the Ego and Intimidator. It incorporated several features used by Smart Parts' highest-end marker, the DLX Luxe, such as an internal gas system.
Shocker SFT & Shocker NXT
The year 2003 brought several new markers and products from Smart Parts, due to a reshuffling of design engineers. The most notable new product from this time period was the Shocker 03 marker (whose name soon after became Shocker SFT). The Shocker SFT was a redesigned marker that used a single solenoid open bolt, cock valve operation capable of high firing speeds,small body size, but an average efficiency without a Smart Parts High Efficiency Bolt. Although this marker was given the name "Shocker", it actually shares virtually no design aspects with its namesake the older Shocker Sport. However, Smart Parts decided to call it the next-generation "Shocker" for marketing purposes, since the older Shockers were already discontinued.
Ever since having been released in July 2003, the Shocker SFT has remained the premier Smart Parts marker, representing top of the line performance and reliability. Shockers have been chosen by the majority of Smart Parts' sponsored teams since their release. The Shocker's popularity also brought along many upgrades and customized versions, available from various manufacturers and developers, similar to its older brother the Impulse. Base-model Shockers currently retail around $700, with the more customized "private label" version around $1000 or more (depending on the model).
In late 2006 (sometimes described as 2007 for simplicity) the Shocker SFT was redesigned into the newer "Shocker NXT" version, which is the same internal marker as the SFT, except it uses upgraded parts from the factory, and has a few enhancements to the frame, in-line regulator, and other parts of the marker to increase performance and reliability. The cosmetics were also changed to reflect the new internals. Some Shocker SFT parts are no longer compatible with the newer Shocker NXT model. This includes barrel threads, as the NXT uses the same threads as the Ion and Impulse. There are several other parts that may not be compatible, including the trigger, and vertical ASA.
Private Label Shockers Include:(SFT)
- Strange Vision
- 06 Dynasty
- Ton Ton
- Russian Legion
- OWL Sharks

The other new-to-2003 Smart Parts marker was called the Nerve. It has since been discontinued. Nerves are a next-generation Impulse design, featuring a smaller and lighter profile, improved internals, upgraded and streamlined components from the factory, and a sleeker external look. It shares many parts that are interchangeable with the shocker, however it uses a different platform for operation. When Nerves were first released (several months late due to manufacturing and development issues), it was designed to be Smart Parts flagship "no upgrades needed" marker. It came packed with Smart Parts best accessories. The high-end features resulted in the MSRP costing $1200 for the base model, or $1500 for the upgraded package with HPA tank included. The reasoning for this was based on the previous customized Impulse markers, which retailed for $1000+, however the Nerve's high price tag didn't fare as well with the public. This was partially because public trends were already shifting away from the stacked-tube hammer/valve markers which the Nerve was based from, and toward more advanced designs such as the Shocker, Dye Matrix line, and others (this trend proceeded through 2004). To combat this, Nerve price was dropped a few months later to $1000, then again to $850. At this point Nerves were finally gaining popularity as originally expected, however one final blow was dealt to the Nerve which would put it away - the release of the Ion (below). In late 2005 SP produced an additional large batch of Nerve parts, however after this the line was halted and the marker was unofficially discontinued in light of other products.
In March 2005, Smart Parts released their most popular marker, the Ion. The development, production, and eventual release of this product were completely unanticipated due to being conducted in relative secrecy by Smart Parts. As a result, when the Ion became available it was an immediate hit in both sales, demand, and expectations.
The Ion was the trend starter for a new marketing idea in the paintball industry, whereby relatively high-performance parts would be sold after the absolute lowest price markup, thus allowing the product (Ion) to be sold for an extremely reasonable price. The Ion uses similar principals in design to the higher-performance Shocker marker, however several key factors to the Ion design were altered to allow it a drastic reduction in production cost (allowing the low MSRP price tag for the end-user). In particular, the Ion was cheaper to produce due to its modular body/exoskeleton design, newly designed inexpensive solenoid, and use of internal air tubing instead of machined manifold ports like high-end markers. These, combined with a reasonably low markup in price for retailers, allowed the Ion to debut with an MSRP of $275. The MSRP was later reduced to $200 for about a year-long period, but was increased back up to $225 at a later time. It was again reduced back down to $200.
The Ion has quickly become one of the most, if not the most popular markers ever available. This is justified by it selling over 100,000 units in a one-year period, a feat which few if any paintball markers has ever done to date; some markers that have been available for over a decade haven't been able to match these numbers. The release of this marker dealt a noticeable blow to nearly every competing product across the globe, and was so strong that it even affected the resale and demand of used products as well. The release of the Ion had more than doubled the size of Smart Parts itself, in both manufacturing space and workforce. A few years after having been released, the wake of the Ion's blow to the paintball industry actually hit Smart Parts themselves, which contributed to the temporary increase in MSRP. This particular year in the paintball industry (2005) saw the most closed stores, fields, and manufacturers than all previous years combined. The release of the Ion being coincidentally in 2005 surely couldn't have helped, however factual evidence either way is circumstantial.
Other paintball companies have matched this low-cost, low markup marketing concept (examples being the Proto Rail (based on the Proto Matrix), ICD Promaster, Eclipse Etek Ego (based on the Planet Eclipse Ego), and others). However, these competing products are notably less popular in comparison, likely due to their higher price tags, although still remaining very economic alternatives to their respective "high-performance" counterparts. The popularity of the Ion also allots it a massive amount of upgrades and specialized products, and like the older Impulse literally every part of the marker can be replaced with an aftermarket version.
In 2007 Smart Parts released an updated version of the ion called the ION XE, that includes built in B.O.B (bolt out back) function, which allows easier removal of the bolt. This makes maintenance considerably easier, as one must only take out a single screw as opposed to taking apart the entire marker. This was one of the major criticisms of the original Ions. The new Ion XE also consists of a new and improved low profile feedneck and a new body design. Ion XE colored bodies are available.
The SP-8 was released after the Ion. Mechanically, the two markers are almost identical, the major differences being that the SP-8 has a 45 degree feed tube instead of a vertical one, the regulator is mounted 15 degrees forward instead of vertical, the pressure gauge is on the right side instead of the left, and the triggers are different. The most noticeable difference is that the SP-8 has a milsim body, designed to mimic the appearance of a Heckler & Koch XM8 assault rifle, and is designed to easily allow the addition of a stock, as well as military accessories such as bipods, tactical flashlights, or red dot sights using weaver rails. This product was designed to bring the performance of an electronic marker to scenario players who sought paintball marker with a more realistic look and feel.
The SP1 is a woodsball/scenario marker, being released in the same lineup as the Vibe, EOS, and Ion XE. It is the Vibe's woodsball counterpart (it has 7 mounting rails on its body for flashlights, laser sights and scopes), in the same way that the SP8 is the Ion's counterpart. It is also limited to 11 BPS. It uses the same internals as the Vibe, but has two different shells to protect them (an internal shell and an external "cosmetic" shell). Smart Parts claims that this marker has many possible upgrades, although most of these are limited to the guns mounting rails thus far. As with the Vibe, players whom own this marker are finding ways to shut off the Maximum Rate Of Fire limiter. With Smart Parts releasing the Blackheart in Q1 2008, the rate of fire is raised to 20 BPS. Along with that it adds anti-chop eyes.
The epiphany marker represents an upgraded version of the Ion.The Epiphany is a more stylized, upgraded Ion which comes with several factory enhancements out of the box, saving the user from buying the more inexpensive Ion and having to buy separate upgraded components for it over time. Besides for the obvious cosmetic difference, Epiphanies feature a metal exoskeleton and frame (with plating, to avoid threading problems), upgraded Firebolt, Freak barrel starter, integrated ASA dovetail, Q-Lock Feed Neck (Eos only), and Smartvalve ASA among other things. Internally the Epiphany also gives the user the ability to alter the marker's internal firing air volume. This is carried out by select from three different internal air volume "inserts" which are used to take up slack space in the marker's fire chamber. The smaller air space in the fire chamber can refill faster, which allows the Epiphany to fire faster without velocity drop-off when compared to the Ion and SP-8. The fire chamber inserts allow fine-tuning and adjustment that wouldn't be previously available without developing a homemade modification. The Epiphany fire chamber, inserts and valve spring are available as performance upgrades for the Ion and SP-8. Epiphanies are available in multiple colors and cost around $300.
Vibe is the latest marker in Smart Part's low cost lineup, as it was released at the same time as the SP1, the EOS, and the Ion XE. It is an electropneumatic marker operating at approximately 180 PSI, similar to that of the Ion. It is also extremely inexpensive for an electropneumatic marker - it can be bought for $140. It doesn't include eyes, instead it has a low force bolt. With the low force bolt - chopping is nearly eliminated. The newer Vibe has 4 firing modes; tournament lock semi auto, semi auto, 3 shot burst, and fully automatic. The first batch of Vibes didn't include these modes and because of the upgrade so close after the release - Smart Parts will upgrade your non select fire board free of charge.
The marker weight is only 1 lb. 11 oz. The length (w/out barrel)is 8.75 in. The vibe is made of Glass fiber reinforced nylon grip (frame/body) and accepts Impulse threaded barrels.
Barrels (All American, Teardrop, Flute; Freak & Freak JR.)
Smart Parts has sold their two-piece All American barrel system since 1989. This was changed in 2001 to the current version which uses a standardized thread compatible with Freak barrel backs (below). The cosmetic milling was changed on the AA barrel in 2006 (along with most other barrels from SP).
SP has sold or is currently selling several one-piece barrels, including the Progressive (stock on Impulses), Teardrop (Progressive barrel with upgraded porting), Linear barrel, and the Tactical 21" barrel (used mainly on SP8 markers).
Smart Parts' major barrel product is the Freak barrel system. This is an "insert" barrel kit, where the user selects one of a number of different-sized bore inserts to use (eight different sizes and a barrel back and barrel tip come with the full Freak kit). There is a total of 9 inserts in normal sizes and a 10th one (reball sized). The boremaster sets are: the aluminum boremaster set is .679,.682,.684,.687,.689,.691,.693,and .695 and the stainless boremaster set is .682,.684,.687,.689,.691,.693,.695,and .697. The insert is then installed in the back of the barrel (a two-piece barrel plus the insert, making three pieces total). The alternative to this is a "multi-bore" kit that consists of varied barrel backs for a two-piece barrel. The advantages to using an insert instead of a multi-back kit is greatly reduced price and versatility of use on more than one type of marker. The disadvantage is that inserts are more fragile (aluminium more so than the stainless) than a typical barrel back, so care must be taken. Freak barrels are available in aluminium and steel versions, compatible with both Freak and All American style fronts (varying color, length. Freak barrel backs and All American backs are compatible with the "Stiff tip" (carbon fiber tip made by STIFFI/Site Mfg.). The insert sets are compatible with white wolf airsmithing's "justice barrels" aka phantoms "Frantom", and Deadly Winds "Fiber barrel" . Freak styling was changed in 2006 along with the other SP barrels.
In addition to equipment, Smart Parts manufactured different types of apparel, such as jerseys, pants, pod packs, barrel socks/plugs, and casual wear. Smart Parts developed customized jerseys for their sponsored teams and could also be contracted to making a team number of jerseys for private use.
Smart Parts has continuously strived to market non-screw in type tank systems for use with their markers. These types of air systems are mounted directly to the marker and don't use a standard "screw-in" type ASA adapter. The first version of this air system was the Max-Flo manifold in 1999, which continued until mid/late 2003. This regulator system used a large regulator and attached manifold section to operate. This was redesigned into the Max-Flo Inline in 2003, which continued until early 2006. The Max-Flo Inline was similar to the previous versions except drastically reduced in size and appearance. In 2006 SP released the Max-Flo Micro, which was their first non-adjustable tank system. The Micro version is the smallest air system to date from SP.
Smart Parts also produced an in-line ASA on/off valve (called the Smartvalve) which gives standard screw-in tanks the ability to use an on/off shutoff valve. The Smartvalve system does not include a bleed feature. The Smartvalve was also available in a CO2 tank version, giving the CO2 tank integrated shutoff capability as well.

We’ve all heard of it- but what is fluoride exactly? What does it do for your teeth, and what’s the best way to consume it? Our team at Snow Family Dentistry has all the answers!
What is fluoride?
Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening tooth enamel. Tooth enamel is the hard, outer surface layer of your teeth that serves to protect against tooth decay. Unfortunately, tooth enamel is under constant attack by acid-producing bacteria in our mouths. Your body rebuilds and re-mineralizes weakened enamel, but sometimes not well enough, resulting in tooth decay. Fluoride optimizes the remineralization process and takes the place of the hydroxyl molecule, binding enamel to teeth more strongly.
The best ways to get fluoride:
- Drink tap water
- Brush with fluoride toothpaste twice a day for two minutes.
- Have your Snow Family Dentistry dentist apply fluoride to your teeth directly with a varnish, gel, foam or rinse.
- Take a fluoride supplement prescribed by your dentist if your water supply isn’t fluoridated
Facts about fluoride:
- It’s natural- Fluoride is a mineral compound found in the environment and is naturally present in rocks, soil and water. Many of the foods we eat contain small amounts of fluoride, including oatmeal, grapes, asparagus, seafood, etc.. Fluoride occurs naturally in the body, too, as calcium fluoride. It’s a nutrient we need to build strong bones and teeth.
- Fluoride works all the time- It combines with your saliva so that your teeth are getting a constant fluoride bath. This provides continuous protection against bacteria.
- It’s difficult to get enough fluoride by diet alone- Although fluoride is naturally present in water and in many of the foods we eat, the amount is small and varied. Even foods with the highest amount of fluoride contribute only 2% to 4% of daily adequate intake per serving.

IoT as a tool for companies
Interview with James Maynard of Fujitsu to talk about the potentialities of the Internet of Things as a way to improve safety and data analysis in professional environments.
IoT is an actual and important theme that, unfortunately, is only considered within the consumer sphere. Examples are several: a digital scale that is connected to the Internet and saves data, an appliance that upgrades its washing programmes or independently calls for support, and so forth.
In our interview with James Maynard (Offering Management Director Global IoT & Innovation of Fujitsu) at MWC we’ve instead talked about an IoT conceived not just for an appliance or a gadget, but also for the business world, with a particular carefulness about the concept of safety.
What is Fujitsu’s point of view regarding IoT?
Fujitsu is a company that mainly aims to the professional world, so IoT represents the future of technology to us, a new way of controlling the world around us to collect data, make previsions and interconnect devices.
Can all data collected by these devices bring to actual, useful results?
Sure, in particular our IoT technologies focus on topics, like creating an augmented reality, where data can make the jobs of techs and professionals way easier and, at the same time, dramatically improve safety of our on-the-field techs, for instance. Our Ubiquitousware software can collect data of several sensors and provide us with useful information. Predictions then are made using data analytics technologies and can predict reality using 68 different algorithms.
That suffices to say that Fujitsu is not just an hardware company…
No, actually, nowadays it’s quite hard to differentiate between these two areas, just think about the new monitoring systems for our server and storage platforms. Fujitsu deals with technology and innovation, the distinction between software and hardware is relatively important.
What are the fields that are covered with your IoT?
The application field is wide and ranges from public administration to the medical, construction, retail, telco, manufacturers, utilities, logistic, agriculture and educational sectors. It may not be clear at first sight but in all of these sectors, even if we just focus on monitoring and safety, the use of IoT technologies can dramatically improve both business processes and the overall level of safety.

In Touch Weekly is reporting that a former nanny of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's brood is opening up about her time with the family, and it's not pretty!
According to the allegations, the Pitt-Jolie kids constantly swear, watch R-rated films, eat junk food, and most shocking of all, that Maddox drinks wine and drives their car around the family's property!
The source reveals:
"The Jolie-Pitt home is more chaotic than anyone could imagine — a place rife with fighting, four-letter words, and sibling squabbles and injuries. There’s a lot of fighting among all the kids, especially Maddox and Pax. They both have bad tempers. Even when she’s home, Angelina is usually holed up in her room making phone calls. She likes to take credit for being supermom, but she really doesn’t spend a lot of time with the kids. They listen the most to their dad.”
These are some serious allegations!
We hope In Touch has some credible sources, because we wouldn't be surprised at all if Angie slaps them with a lawsuit!
We doubt she's going to take kindly to claims THIS insane!
What do U think?? Do U believe the nanny tell-all??
