The files on the Associa website pertaining to Chronology/Status of Community Club Concept (and The Club at ArrowCreek) have been updated with June 1, 2015 dates and are now here:
CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS – Community Club Concept 6.1.15
TIMELINE – Key Events – The Club At ArrowCreek 6.1.15
The old post is here: Chronology/Status of Community Club Concept
An Open letter to the ArrowCreek Board of Directors
ACHOA Board of Directors,
The latest updated posting of CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS – Community Club Concept 6.1.15 is certainly a good step in the open communications that are needed by the ACHOA owners. However, there are three (3) concerns and issues with the information presented.
First, although we respect the rights of corporations to protect proprietary data, those privileges do not supercede the needs of the ACHOA community to openly participate in committee discussions that affect the status of the ACHOA. As a result, since ALL committee meetings are to be open “to the public,” it is suggested that the ONLY forum for discussion of restricted data is the Executive Board meetings. Please, maintain a calendar that displays ALL committee meeting dates, times and locations so members of the community can participate in the business of the ACHOA.
Second, based on this posting to the ACHOA ‘official’ web site, the ACHOA Board fails to listen to knowledgeable owner inputs at Board meetings. Several meetings ago, Mr. Hsu presented to you the actual wording of Nevada Revised Statute (NRS) 82.131. That statute, which covers our ACHOA Articles of Incorporation, specifically states “Subject to such limitations, if any, as may be contained in its articles…”. This NRS invokes Article VII of the ACHOA Articles of Incorporation which states “The corporation shall have perpetual existence. Members of the corporation shall not be liable for payment of any corporate debts of any nature whatsoever nor shall any of the property of the members be subject to the payment of corporate debts to any extent whatever, except to the extent valid and proper assessments for corporate purposes provided herein create such liability or subject members’ property to assessment liens.” (Emphasis added). The corporate purposes are defined in Article IV, a thru d. Hanging the organizations hat on the phrase in paragraph d, “The Association my have purposes other than those specified here-in, but shall expressly be prohibited from representing the lot owners and residents within the subdivision on issues of land use, planning, municipal annexation, master plan amendments, growth, area development, or similar matters.” The purpose of the subject acquisition has not been articulated to the association nor has it been incorporated into the articles. Simply put, a 2/3 affirmative vote is required to encumber the ACHOA owners, NOT 50%+1. Yet in your chronology it still maintains a 50%+1 for the encumbrance to be approved. This is very clearly in error of legal and managerial understanding.
Third, In spite of the results of the Demographic and Property Value surveys conducted by the ACHOA and CNA, the Board continues to try and honor a “bridge handshake” with the Friends of ArrowCreek (FOA) and schedules meetings to avoid true community input. Working members of our community cannot make 5 or 5:30 PM meetings. Scheduling committee meetings during working hours does not permit broad participation from the 79% of the population who do not participate in the golfing experience.
The Board not only needs to take action on these issues but also needs to update the chronology to reflect the true and proper inputs it has received from the community.
Looking forward to a continuing dialogue, Regards

The $300 to-start, 24-car field will be set after 3-car group qualifying, heat races, a $300 to-win Dash and B-mains. Many of Lernerville Speedway’s weekly stars will be gunning for the extra cash on the line including 2021 points leader Brandon Matus, four-time Lernerville Champion A.J. Flick, Sye Lynch, Darin Gallagher, Brent Matus, Michael Bauer, and Carl Bowser.
The 305 Sprints of the Allegheny Sprint Tour and the RUSH Sprint Series will also be on the card that night and their heat races will be set by 3-car group qualifying with a 3-car invert and 4-car invert respectively. Feature lineups will be set by heat results and normal Lernerville Speedway redraw format based on the number of heat races contested. As an added bonus, Peluso Roofing has added an additional $250 to the winner’s share of both Allegheny Sprint Tour and RUSH Sprints feature events!
In addition to the action on the track, Peluso Roofing will also provide fans with giveaways including koozies and glow-in-the-dark bracelets and necklaces for the kids. A fireworks display will also be held during intermission of the Sprint Spectacular.

Comment on Who Is Conning Whom? by Gaslamp.
Ex Ludo, it was great to hear that bit of Gerry Rafferty – a great talent that I used to see play with his first band in the Highlands in 1966! And I have a 45 of Mary Skeffington.
To get back to McInnes, surely the certainty of him moving to Glasgow came down to either Sevco entitlement or they tapped him up; it has to one or the other? When I read their statement last night, I thought it was a spoof. They would have been as well saying that they only approached Aberdeen because they’d read it in the daily rags!

As ever, a very strange statement from King, quite childish, actually, seems to have fully bought into the ‘attack is the best form of defence’ idea, even when he has nothing he needs to defend.
I do wonder, though, what it was in the SFA’s statement that gave him the following impression, unless he’s solely talking of the effect it has on his current club.
‘It is reassuring to note that the SFA promptly and correctly put out a statement confirming, against Celtic’s attempt to influence, that the final tax ruling has no impact whatsoever on the practical and legal findings already made. This is now another matter that we can finally put behind us.’
Smacks of collusion, doesn’t it? Would that have been the subject of a previous discussion with Regan, getting ducks in a row and being prepared? And that’s his way of acknowledging it and congratulating the SFA. He can’t help himself but you can see right through him, he’s not really that smart is he?
THAT Debate, and the Beauty of Hindsight
My wife was ticking me off tonight for getting animated at the TV. Apparently the third placed team in the SPFL, 12 points and a goal difference of 28 (not that this is going to prove significant!) behind the second placed team, is attempting to capture second place! Yet the team in fourth place, 6 points behind the team in third place, is attempting to consolidate fourth place! How interesting!

The 27.5p per share figure comes from the TAP report –
“98.One aspect of this matter that has caused the Committee concern is the time that elapsed between the initial reporting of a potential triggering of Rule 9 by the incumbent Board during January 2015 and the Executive’s ruling of 7 June 2016. Both Mr King and the Rangers Board submit that it serves no purpose now to require a Rule 9 offer to be made at a price of 20p per share (the price stipulated by the Executive pursuant to Rule 9.5 (c)) because no shareholders will accept it. 99.The background to this is that since the cancellation of admission to trading on AIM in March 2015 Rangers shares have traded on an illiquid “matched bargain” basis on JP Jenkins, an exchange platform that specialises in the securities of private companies. There have been relatively few trades, mostly in small amounts. Such trades in Rangers shares as there have been on JP Jenkins during the last three months or so appear to have been at a price of 27.5p. Mr Blair told the Committee that demand for Rangers shares currently, and for some time past, exceeds supply.”

These days, it seems like everyone is interested in food—from what’s in (or not in) it, where it comes from, and how ethical it is, to whether or not we’ll be able to source those crucial ingredients for our sourdough bread—but Lenore Newman is truly obsessed.
As Canada Research Chair in Food Security and Environment at the University of the Fraser Valley, food is her job (in fact, she’s part of the team working on food security during the COVID-19 crisis, so she knows more than almost anyone why you couldn’t get hold of eggs or flour in April). It’s a passion that began when she was young and that she has carried with her all her life.
“I was born in the food industry; I come from a family of fishing folk and boat-makers going back hundreds of years,” she explains over the obligatory crackly FaceTime call from her home in Vancouver. “My great-grandfather emigrated to B.C. from Northern Finland fleeing Russian persecution and set up in Sechelt, and that’s where we made our home.”
Newman’s earliest memories all involve food: catching fish on a 56-foot halibut boat with her sister and parents; picnics at sea; a friend of the family making Mexican dishes and exposing her to spicy flavours for the first time. As soon as she was old enough to stand, she was sent to sell fish on the dock. “It was an early exposure to advertising. The message to customers was definitely, ‘These children will starve if you don’t buy the fish,’” she recalls with a laugh. “We lived off the land and life was very rural. We foraged a lot of food, made our own bread, dug and fished for clams. In the off-season, we mended miles and miles of fishing line. I read voraciously and loved to write; there wasn’t much else to do in the long, rural B.C. winter. We spent a lot of time with my grandmother, who didn’t have a steady electricity supply. It sounds romantic, but it was mostly hard.”
All of that time spent reading paid off, though: at 17, Newman was offered a full scholarship to study physics at the University of British Columbia (UBC). “I told my dad I didn’t want to go because I wanted to run the company and go into the fishing business, but he made me—it was free, and no one in our family had ever been to university before,” she recalls. “He drove me in every day for the first week just to make sure I went.” It was during university that she ordered a pizza for the first time: “I couldn’t believe that someone else would just make food and bring it to you.”
At UBC, Newman began to become interested in climate change, systems, and how things fit together. At the same time, food continued to be a big part of her life—she always worked in restaurants and bars, and tried all sorts of foods when she travelled the world after graduating. “I’ve eaten in expensive and rarefied places, but some of the best meals I’ve ever had were on street corners in strange countries,” she says, recalling a “glorious” meal that she had at a train station in Russia.
It wasn’t until she earned a master’s and then a PhD in environmental science at Toronto’s York University that she realized she could knit together her academic career and her love of food. “My focus in academia had always been on systems. It was a lightbulb moment when I realized I could connect that to food,” she says. “People said I was crazy and a total idiot, then two minutes later, it was the thing everyone was interested in.” Still, even today her group of industry peers remains incredibly small.
In 2011 she took her position at the University of the Fraser Valley (where she’s the only culinary geographer), focusing on technology and the future of food; agricultural land-use policy; and place-making through food and agriculture. “There are very few of us around. The study of food is still developing—we’re all mavericks, really, because our subject is science, social science, cultural history, and applied agriculture,” she says. “I love the way that in the food industry, we all have many skills. It’s the reason I loved physics—which when I studied it, was almost an apprenticeship where I had to do metalwork and glass-blowing so I could mend equipment. Growing up on a boat, too, you’re trying to solve problems you never knew you’d have: how do I stop this boat from sinking in the middle of the night?”
Speaking of solving problems, Newman’s work touches on the biggest problem of our age: climate change and the survival of our species. “My interest in food is one of the reasons I focus on environmental advocacy. Food is a keystone. If the food is still there, you get through. If the food is gone, you’re done, civilization is done, your country is done and you don’t survive,” she says. “This pandemic, partly we’re getting through it because the food is okay.” We’ll need that to also be the case, she asserts, in order to survive climate change.
Her most recent book, 2019’s Lost Feast: Culinary Extinction and the Future of Food, touches on this idea by discussing foods that we have eaten to extinction. It’s packed with facts but isn’t dry, making it perfect to fascinate friends and loved ones with (and experts seem to agree, as the book was recently shortlisted for the Taste Canada Awards). Readers will find themselves dropping information nuggets over dinner about the history of pears, what a woolly mammoth might taste like, and whatever happened to the passenger pigeon.
And while she grew up “knee-deep in dead fish,” Newman is moving towards a vegetarian lifestyle and believes that in the future, most of us will do the same. She sees meat and dairy being replaced with food produced through cellular agriculture and bioengineering—without the cost to the environment or animals. “If you do agriculture in the right way, you can both cut emissions and increase absorption,” she reflects. That means that the industry could actually become carbon-positive, taking in more than it emits.
Lab-produced food can seem sterile and joyless, and indeed, Newman cautions that we could end up with a situation where Google produces all of our cheese—but she envisions a more positive future where these methods are used to create food on a small scale the way microbreweries do, perhaps even with unique local terroir, but in a sustainable way.
Always, at the end of the day, she wants food to be fun. “It’s a part of culture: a way to bond with friends and family and chosen family,” she says. She speaks of her desire to try impossible foods like the extinct herb silphium, extravagantly expensive truffled turkey, or ambergris hot chocolate; that last one is a goal she’s tantalizingly close to achieving thanks to a company in New Zealand that ethically sources the famous whale-derived substance. Her enthusiasm for food is irrepressible, boundless, and constantly stimulated by the things she reads or encounters on her travels.
It’s hard not to wonder if that little girl selling fish on the dock would be surprised to see herself now. “You know, for a long time, I thought none of my career made sense. Then my aunt, who died last year and was a big influence on me, told me that it is exactly what she would have predicted for me,” Newman says. “The obsession with food—I constantly made people play restaurants when I was a child. The writing. Living in a coastal place. Maybe we do just come full circle after all.”

Among many functions of FRP grids, acid and alkali resistance and corrosion resistance are the most outstanding features. And for some occasions with high corrosiveness, such as chemical plants, there are many corrosive gases, liquids and other organic solvents, so the demand for grilles is higher than that of other factories. Generally, the minimum requirement of grids used in chemical plants is 3.8 cm thick. If the requirement is not met, 5.0 cm thick grids or 6.0 cm grids can be selected. 2.5 cm thick grille panels used in community walkways, garden walkways and factory staircase pedals are seldom used in chemical plants. Since grilles are mainly used as operating channels in chemical plants, it is necessary for safety to meet demand.
Today, I'll teach you two tricks. I'll teach you two simple steps to distinguish the quality of FRP grids.First, from the side of the FRP grille or the inside of the aperture, we can see whether the drawing of the FRP grille is even. If the root of the drawing of the grille is distinct, then the quality of the grille is good. Also, we can see that the number of air holes on the frontal surface of the grille is small, which can also see whether the resin casting of the FRP grille is even.
Fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP) grids have not only high load-carrying capacity, but also high toughness. They will not deform even under heavy impact or pressure. However, if the ultimate load-carrying capacity of FRP grids is exceeded, fracture will occur. Some time ago, a customer like our manufacturer consulted if in the normal use of the case, FRP grille resin and fiberglass yarn more serious dispersion will occur fracture, what is the reason?
The appearance of FRP grille is rectangular network distribution, the color has yellow, green, red, grey, blue, white and other colors. One side of the grille is flat, the other is not flat. The grille on the surface is crescent. The reason is that in the production of FRP grids, they need to be molded, so the surface will appear crescent grooves. Because of this, it has a high wear resistance, according to the needs of customers, our manufacturers can also grind it.
Traditional advantages of FRP grids: Compared with traditional plastic steel grids or metal grids, chemical properties, strength, self-weight, beauty and adaptability are their advantages. Their chemical properties are corrosion resistance, aging resistance and low price. They are not higher than metal prices, light weight, less than a quarter of iron density, and two-thirds of aluminium, which can reduce the foundation support, thereby reducing engineering costs. Its strength is higher than that of these metals. Beautiful and easy to maintain, because its production environment can be customized according to ...

Sitecore 9 setup was not new but there was something different with SQL Server 2017.
Microsoft Web Deploy dynamically loads SQL Server Data-Tier application framework, SQL ScriptDOM and SQL CLRTypes components using automatic version detection but in my case Web Deploy has not installed the correct version of SQL Server Data-Tier application framework.
So- I installed the correct version of SQL Server Data-Tier application framework from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56508
This fixed the issue for me, so i would suggest to check if you have the correct version of SQL Server Data-Tier application framework installed if you run into similar issue.

Earlier this year, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz launched an investigation into the FBI’s decision not to prosecute Hillary Clinton.
From Conservative Post:
Allegations that Department or FBI policies or procedures were not followed in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to, the FBI Director’s public announcement on July 5, 2016, and the Director’s letters to Congress on October 28 and November 6, 2016, and that certain underlying investigative decisions were based on
Allegations that the FBI Deputy Director should have been recused from participating in certain investigative matters;
Allegations that the Department’s Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs improperly disclosed non-public information to the Clinton campaign and/or should have been recused from participating in certain matters;
Allegations that Department and FBI employees improperly disclosed non-public information; and
Allegations that decisions regarding the timing of the FBI’s release of certain Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents on October 30 and November 1, 2016, and the use of a Twitter account to publicize same, were influenced by improper considerations.
Heads aren’t just rolling at the FBI. We all want to know why some investigators played down evidence against Clinton, while others exaggerated the usefulness of discredited “evidence” against Trump.
We know where these investigators have been. But what’s their next move?

Deuterocanonical books. Deuterocanonical books is a term used since the 16th century in the Catholic Church and Eastern Christianity to describe certain books and passages of the Christian Old Testament that are not part of the Hebrew Bible.
The term is used in contrast to the protocanonical books, which are contained in the Hebrew Bible. This distinction had previously contributed to debate in the early Church about whether they should be classified as canonical texts. The term is used as a matter of convenience by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and other Churches to refer to books of their Old Testament which are not part of the Masoretic Text. The deuterocanonical books are considered canonical by Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and the Church of the East, but are considered non-canonical by most Protestants. The word deuterocanonical comes from the Greek meaning 'belonging to the second canon'. Index Librorum Prohibitorum. Title page of Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Venice 1564).
The Index Librorum Prohibitorum (English: List of Prohibited Books) was a list of publications deemed heretical, anti-clerical or lascivious, and therefore banned by the Catholic Church. A first version (the Pauline Index) was promulgated by Pope Paul IV in 1559, and a revised and somewhat relaxed form (the Tridentine Index) was authorized at the Council of Trent. Historian Paul F.

The word's origin is the medieval Latin adjective apocryphus, "secret, or non-canonical", from the Greek adjective ἀπόκρυφος (apocryphos), "obscure", from verb ἀποκρύπτειν (apocryptein), "to hide away". It is commonly applied in Christian religious contexts involving certain disagreements about biblical canonicity. The pre-Christian-era Jewish translation (into Greek) of holy scriptures known as the Septuagint included the writings in dispute. However, the Jewish canon was not finalized until at least 100–200 years into the A.D., at which time considerations of Greek language and beginnings of Christian acceptance of the Septuagint weighed against some of the texts.

LUBAO, Pampanga: Jhonnel Ababa recalled his fierce form and shot a bogey-free 68 to tie American Nicolas Paez at the helm as two of the erstwhile leaders melted in the heat at the finish halfway through the ICTSI Pradera Verde Classic here.
Sustaining his backside charge in the first round where he gunned down two birdies to save a 71, Ababa hit three birdies in the same side yesterday then added a birdie on No. 5 while rescuing a couple of pars to preserve a spotless 35-33 card at the long Pradera Verde Golf and Country Club layout.
That kept the Davaoeño shotmaker on track for a second straight crown on the Philippine Golf Tour Asia after scoring a runaway seven-stroke triumph at Eagle Ridge last week as he pooled a five-under 139, the same aggregate assembled by Paez, who endured steamy condition to string a four-birdie, two-bogey card for a 70.
Rufino Bayron and Aussie David Gleeson, who shared the first round lead with Andrew Campbell, also of Australia, and Lexus Keoninh of the US with 68s Wednesday, actually held sway majority of the way with the former even coming through with an eagle on the par-5 No. 12 to negate a bogey on the 11th. But after hitting another birdie on No. 15, Bayron wavered and closed out the frontside with a horrible 40, marred by a double-bogey on No. 5 and a bogey on the closing par-5 ninth.
He wound up with a 74 and tumbled to joint sixth with Gleeson, who fell with three closing bogeys at the front, and PGTA Riviera leg winner Clyde Mondilla, who carded a second 71, at 142, now three strokes off the new joint leaders heading to the last 36 holes of the $100,000 event serving as the seventh leg of the Philippine Golf Tour Asia.
Meanwhile, Tony Lascuña rebounded from a mediocre 72 start with a late charge of three birdies in the last four holes at the front, his 69 and a 141 putting him in joint third with American Josh Salah and Jay Bayron, who fired a 70 and 72, respectively, as they assumed the challenger’s role in the event sponsored by ICTSI.
Campbell dropped off the lead first with a 43 start marred by a 9 on the par-5 No. 3 but put on a fiery windup of 32 spiked by an eagle on No. 12 to salvage a 75 although he slid to a share of ninth at 143 with Frankie Miñoza, who also broke par with a 70.
Keoninh barely kept his spot at the top with a 37 at the back but faltered with a 39 for a 76 that dropped him to joint 11th at 144 with Zanieboy Gialon, who shot a 71, James Ryan Lam and Dutch Guido Van der Valk, who both had 75s in the event backed by Custom Clubmakers, Meralco, Champion, Summit Mineral Water, K&G Golf Apparel, BDO, Sharp, KZG, PLDT and M.Y. Shokai Technology, Inc.
Fifty-two players made the cut at 150 with Thai Parama Chansue, Eric Gallardo, Cookie La’O and Joseph Suarez all carding 74s to join Erwin Arcillas (75), Kris Etter (75), Omar Dungca (77), Jobim Carlos (80) and amateur Jolo Magcalayo (76) at 44th.
Young Justin Quiban, who scored a breakthrough in the PGT Asia fifth leg in the CAT Open at Luisita last month, limped with two double bogeys and a triple bogey on a flat course and missed the cut with a 152 after a 79. Others who failed to advance were National Pro-Am winner Tonlits Asistio (76-152), CAT Open runner-up Joenard Rates, who also made a 70 for a 155, Ferdie Aunzo (78-156).

We already know that Zika virus can cause microcephaly (a birth defect in which babies are born with abnormally small heads), now the World Health Organization just dropped a bombshell!
This week, a study of people in French Polynesia indicated a strong link between Zika virus and the neurological disorder Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
The WHO’s deputy chief, Bruce Aylward, said the study “provided compelling evidence that Zika triggers the syndrome.” He also said “The case for the link was made stronger by the lack of evidence pointing to other possible causes for rising cases of microcephaly and GBS.”
Guillain–Barré syndrome is (from Wikipedia):
…a rapid-onset muscle weakness caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system. Many experience changes in sensation or develop pain, followed by muscle weakness beginning in the feet and hands. The symptoms develop over half a day to two weeks. During the acute phase, the disorder can be life-threatening with about a quarter developing weakness of the breathing muscles and requiring mechanical ventilation. Some are affected by changes in the function of the autonomic nervous system, which can lead to dangerous abnormalities in heart rate and blood pressure.
From a Yahoo News article on the subject:
Nine countries in central and South America affected by the Zika outbreak have recorded an elevated number of GBS cases, according to WHO.
Brazil, which has registered an estimated 1.5 million Zika infections in the current outbreak, has seen 641 cases of microcephaly since October.
Brazil typically reports 150 cases of microcephaly per year.
At this point, Zika has been fairly isolated to Central and South America, but as warmer weather approach in North America, it seems very likely that Zika will become a major concern in the United States.

We all know Kate Middleton is a trendsetter, but since walking the runway in a see-through slip dress for a charity fashion show, she hasn't really taken all that many fashion risks or been known for embracing anything you might deem "alternative." That's okay! We still adore her silky, long brunette mane, classic A-line dresses, and simply elegant accessories.
But what IF, in a "parallel universe" perhaps, she was a punk princess? With full-sleeve tattoos and bright purple tresses? And Prince William was similarly inked-up in black-rimmed, hipster specs? Can you even imagine?! Well, you don't have to, because Seattle-based artist Cheyenne Randall has actually created that wacky image of the Duke and Duchess for a new art project. And it is as wild as it sounds.
Check it out ...
WOW, right?! Ha, they actually look like people I know who are extremely good-looking, tattoo-loving parents.
Randall explains he created this image -- and others -- due to a "slight obsession with seeing, out of pure curiosity, what some of my favorite iconic personalities would look like, perhaps if they were in a parallel universe or took another path in life."
And whether you love or hate his imagined, "alternate" reality, you've gotta admit it is sure to get people talking!

text: Home| Dental Services|Cosmetic Dentistry|Invisalign® If you’re a busy professional, you might feel like your window for orthodontic treatment has passed. You’ve worked hard to cultivate your mature image, and the last thing you want to do is commit yourself to years of traditional metal braces. Thankfully, traditional braces aren’t your only option anymore. At Bethesda Sedation Dentistry, Dr. Deborah Klotz and Dr. Robert Schlossberg offer Invisalign® to help you achieve the straight, beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. What Is Invisalign? How Invisalign Works Invisalign vs. Braces Invisalign Process Invisalign with AcceleDent Invisalign Results Invisalign Comfort Invisalign Cost What Is Invisalign? Invisalign is a clear orthodontic system designed to progressively straighten teeth without unsightly brackets and wires. This alternative to traditional braces can often be an excellent option for closing gaps and spaces, realigning crooked teeth, and even correcting issues such as overbites, underbites, or crossbites. Thanks to the transparency of Invisalign aligners, you can look forward to greater discretion as you work towards your goal. In fact, no one except your cosmetic dentist and whomever you choose to tell may ever know about your braces. How Does Invisalign Work? Invisalign improves tooth alignment via a series of clear, removable aligners that are customized to meet your needs. Made of a flexible plastic material, the trays are designed to apply a gentle amount of force to specific teeth at precise times throughout the treatment process. Every aligner tray is slightly modified from the previous one to help gradually shift teeth into an ideal position over the course of treatment. Invisalign vs. Braces In addition to being virtually invisible, Invisalign offers numerous benefits over metal braces and other traditional orthodontic systems. These can include: Increased comfort (no brackets or wires to deal with) Fewer office visits for monitoring of treatment Improved convenience—aligners can be removed to eat, drink, brush, and floss Shorter overall treatment period Ultimately, Invisalign gives you much more freedom than you would have with traditional braces. Along with a beautiful, straight smile, the end result will be a renewed sense of confidence and improved oral health. What Is the Invisalign Treatment Process Like? If Invisalign is determined to be the right orthodontic solution for you, Dr. Deb or Dr. Rob will start the treatment process by using our 3Shape TRIOS® technology to custom-design your set(s) of removable aligners based on an ideal progression of tooth movement for your unique case. Once made, you will be instructed to wear each aligner approximately 20–22 hours every day for a certain period of time before moving onto the next one in the set. Throughout the Invisalign® process, you will be asked to return to the office periodically for your dentist to evaluate your progress and provide you with your next set of alignment trays. The total number of office visits and quantity of aligners needed will be dependent upon your specific needs and smile goals. How Long Does Invisalign Take? Total treatment time to achieve ideal results with Invisalign takes an average of about nine to twelve months, though this period may be shorter or longer based on your unique case. In addition to the extent of your orthodontic concerns, factors that can influence the length of treatment include how often you wear your aligners and whether or not AcceleDent technology is utilized—the latter of which is designed to help shorten the Invisalign process. Accelerate Treatment with AcceleDent® Optima™ and Aura To help accelerate your Invisalign treatment, our dentists offer AcceleDent Optima and AcceleDent Aura. By employing gentle SoftPulse Technology®, the AcceleDent Optima and Aura devices work to speed up the gradual tooth movement created by Invisalign, often helping patients straighten their teeth in about half the time it would take without the device. To use AcceleDent Optima or Aura, simply situate the special mouthpiece over your Invisalign aligners, bite down carefully, and activate the device. Once activated, AcceleDent creates small vibrations that are clinically proven to facilitate tooth movement—similar to the way micro-pulses help stimulate healing in broken bones. As an added benefit, AcceleDent offers a mobile app that syncs to the AcceleDent device, providing usage information for treatment monitoring as well as achievement awards for motivation and praise. By using AcceleDent Optima or Aura for approximately 20 minutes (or as recommended by Dr. Deb or Dr. Rob) every day, you may be able to greatly expedite your Invisalign treatment without sacrificing your end results. Does Invisalign Hurt? Most Invisalign patients describe feeling “pressure” as opposed to pain or discomfort—which is actually an indication that the aligners are shifting the teeth as designed. In comparison to traditional metal braces and other orthodontic systems, Invisalign is considered much more comfortable. How Much Does Invisalign Cost? At Bethesda Sedation Dentistry, the exact cost of Invisalign is dependent on each patient’s specific treatment plan. Elements that can impact the total expense of treatment include the complexity of the case, how many aligners are required, and whether AcceleDent technology is employed. To obtain a personalized Invisalign quote, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rob or Dr. Deb. During your appointment, your dentist can assess your unique needs, formulate a custom treatment plan, and provide a detailed breakdown of all associated fees. If desired, a member of our team can also speak with you about dental financing options available through CareCredit® to help make Invisalign as affordable as possible. Contact Bethesda Sedation Dentistry Are you ready to get started with Invisalign? Our friendly team is ready to help. Through a consultation visit with Dr. Deb or Dr. Rob, we can help you understand all your treatment options and identify the one that works best for you. Contact Bethesda Sedation Dentistry today.

The hip-hop generation’s answer to Sherlock Holmes returns fast and furious in the third installment of Ide's (Righteous, 2017, etc.) celebrated series.
Over the course of the last two years, Isaiah Quintabe’s stature as a quick-witted neighborhood private eye has grown beyond his East Long Beach, California, base. His bank account, however, hasn’t kept pace with his legend. So IQ’s friend and partner, Dodson, a lapsed street hustler, tells him it’s time to stop accepting ugly sweaters, home repairs, and baked goods as payment and go full-tilt marketing, complete with a Facebook page and rate scale. This business plan quickly goes out the proverbial window when Isaiah accepts as payment paintings from a truculent, enigmatic young artist named Grace, with whom he’d become “intrigued” in the previous novel. Grace wants IQ to find her mother, but when he presses her for details, she becomes resentful and secretive. He deduces that she knows more than she’s telling, and before long, it becomes apparent that Grace and her mother are both in over their heads against a sadistic cabal of Iraqi War veterans implicated in torture at Abu Ghraib more heinous than other, previously exposed incidents. Meanwhile, Dodson, just getting accustomed to new fatherhood, is being blackmailed into robbing a neighborhood dealer named Junior who has a penchant for misusing four-syllable words. Then there’s Isaiah’s Moriarty, Seb, the Oxford-educated African gangster lurking along the edges for any opportunity to ruin, or end, IQ’s life. Ide’s penchant for colorful characters, droll banter, and whackadoodle set pieces is aided by a growing command of narrative dynamics. And Isaiah Quintabe remains an engaging, fascinating protagonist, but there are signs here that he’s becoming more an action hero than a puzzle solver. The world has plenty of action heroes—but nowhere near enough street-wise intellects to serve as role models.
There's a harder, darker edge to the violence that gives this ripsnorting follow-up a rueful yet resonant aftertaste, perhaps in anticipation of more unsettling jolts in the hero's future.


Just a few days ago, singer, songwriter and dancer Rosé made history as her new single “On The Ground” debuted at No. 43 on the U.K. singles chart. For many artists, that placement wouldn’t be terribly important, but simply by making it on to the tally at all, the musician carved out a spot in the chart annals for herself. In another fashion, she’s joined a small, but expanding list of some of the biggest acts to emerge from her country.
Rosé is the first South Korean female solo musician to chart a song in the U.K., but when looking at all solo artists from that country, she isn’t alone. In fact, the vocalist, who is primarily known for her work as one of the members of Blackpink, is the fourth soloist from the Asian nation to land on the British songs ranking even once.
The first South Korean solo musician to chart in the U.K. was Psy, who remains the only musical act of any kind from the territory to hit No. 1. The viral sensation that was “Gangnam Style” went all the way to the peak position in 2012, and he followed that incredible and unlikely success the following year with “Gentleman,” which peaked at No. 10. To this day, he’s still the only unaccompanied South Korean act to break into the top 10 in the European country.
Two members of the chart-topping boy band BTS have now landed on the singles ranking without their group mates. The first to do so was J-Hope, who recruited Latin-pop star Becky G for the international and multilingual (the tune is performed in English, Korean and Spanish) “Chicken Noodle Soup.” That tune landed at No. 82 for a single turn back in 2019.
Last year, Agust D, better known as Suga when he’s recording with BTS, made history when his solo cut “Daechwita” rose slightly higher than his bandmate, opening at No. 68.
“On The Ground” serves as Rosé’s first proper solo single, and it arrived with a B-side titled “Gone.” The two-track project was officially labeled R, and it may be just the first taste of what she sounds like as a solo act. After the 2020 Blackpink had in the U.K., it’s not entirely shocking the band’s fans rushed to support Rosé’s outing on her own. The quartet scored four of their seven total placements last year alone, including their first two top 20 hits with “How You Like That” and “Sour Candy,” a collaboration with Lady Gaga.
It remains uncommon for any South Korean solo musician to rack up enough streams and sales of any one song to chart in the U.K., though a quick look at the past few years shows that the British public is clearly interested in what these artists have to say in very large numbers.


The Nigerian army said it has captured the strategically significant town of Gwoza from Boko Haram.
Making the announcement on social media, the army said it had killed several members of the group and that a "mop-up" was now underway.
Nigerian media are reporting that more than two hundred of the girls captured in Chibok in April 2014 are being held in the town, in Bornea State.
A 56-year-old woman who was kidnapped by the group in 2014 and held in two locations by the group told the International Centre for Investigative Reporting that she was held along with the girls under very tight security in a house in Gwoza.
The town was first captured by Islamist fighter last year, and was declared the headquarter of the group's Caliphate.

It’s a pretty universal feeling – wanting to work in an organisation that not only values its employees and their contributions, but also prioritises their mental health and wellbeing – however reality doesn’t always match up to expectations.
Our 2020 Indicators of Thriving Workplace report shows that workers feel supported and enjoy their job more when their workplaces are working towards being thriving by taking tangible action and committing to improving the mental health and wellbeing of their staff.
When a workplace is thriving, employees feel safe, can bring their best self to work and contribute to the success of the business. These workplaces don’t just talk the talk when it comes to mental health, they walk the walk as well.
Thriving workplaces generally demonstrate at least eight of these best practice activities:
- Ensure all leaders regularly participate in mental health and wellbeing training
- Provide access to mental health and wellbeing education (i.e., training and information)
- Actively provide professional development opportunities
- Let people see the mental health policies and processes in action
- Implement effective policies and practices against workplace bullying and harassment
- Develop good return to work policies and practices for people who have had time off work with mental health conditions
- Recognise people who do good work and reward them appropriately
- Put clear structures in place for transparent decision making
- Develop policies to ensure that changes are managed in clear, supportive and positive ways
- Help people to practice good work/family/life integration
- Make it easy for everyone to access confidential counselling or support services

Calls build on Flaherty to clamp down on mortgages
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty talks to reporters after meeting with private sector economists in Ottawa on Monday, March 5, 2012.
OTTAWA - Pressure is building on Finance Minister Jim Flaherty to intervene for a fourth time on mortgages to keep Canada's housing market and household debt in check.
When he met with economists in early March, Flaherty heard conflicting advice about whether it was time to clamp down Canadians' appetite for housing and new debt.

Since then, the Bank of Canada has reasserted in its interest rate statement that household debt is the "biggest domestic risk" and, late last week, TD Bank's chief economist Craig Alexander called on the minister to wait no longer.
Alexander has suggested three options and asks the minister to choose one, including reducing the maximum amortization on mortgages to 25 years from 30 or hiking the minimum down payment to seven per cent from five.
As a third option, he suggests a means test for those seeking loans by ensuring they can afford to make payments as if mortgage interest charges rise to 5.5 per cent, about twice as high as many current rates.
"I'm not recommending we do anything that would drastically hurt the market," said Alexander. "It's like you are driving on ice, you don't slam on the breaks, you just tap the brakes to diminish the risk of a problem."
Capital Economics analyst David Madani believes it may already be too late to tighten mortgages and that house prices are due to start falling.
In the past six years, Flaherty has tapped the brakes on three separate occasions, starting when amortization was at 40 years and no down payment was required to obtain a mortgage. Each time, Canadians took notice for a while, then proceeded to again jump back into the market.
The latest figures released last week show household debt accumulation is still rising at six per cent annually, home sales climbing by 8.6 per cent and the average home price near record levels at $372,763.
Alexander believes Flaherty, who expressed concern about household debt after his March 5 meeting with economists, is resisting intervening now because he has a bigger concern.
With employment growth having stalled in the past half-year, Flaherty fears discouraging home buying would at the same time kill construction jobs.
In one sense, Flaherty is in the same box as Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, who dares not raise interest rates because it could disrupt other parts of the economy.
The argument against not acting, however, is that if housing does not cool on its own, when the correction does come it could be drastic enough to stall the fragile recovery.
On the other hand, notes Derek Holt of Scotiabank, if Flaherty applies the brakes, he might get more slowing than desired. That could not only hurt construction, but the overall confidence of consumers, whose spending represent about 60 per cent of the economy.
"One has to be careful about what one asks for," he explained. "We've already tightened mortgage policy significantly and we are operating at heavily leveraged structural peaks in Canadian consumer spending and housing markets that are bound to slow as fatigue sets in."
Still, debt continues to rise faster than incomes, despite the slight dip in the household debt to income ratio to 150.6 in the fourth quarter of 2011, from 151.9 in the third.
Analysts, including Alexander, expect the ratio to keep climbing to 160 per cent, the level it hit before the U.S. housing implosion.
Alexander points out there is no controversy among economists about the imbalance in the economy being caused by housing. All agree prices are too high, by anywhere from 10 per cent to 25 per cent, and debt is too high.
The only disagreement is whether now is the time for Flaherty to act.
Fortunately, the minister has time to wait and see, says CIBC economist Benjamin Tal, who has written extensively on housing and debt. Given the weakness of the economy, the Bank of Canada has little choice but to keep interest rates low. That gives Flaherty the flexibility to keep monitoring what happens on the debt front.
"But if six months from now, you tell me house prices are up by another six, seven per cent and mortgage activity is back to seven, eight per cent, I would be more concerned," he said.
Alexander would pull the trigger sooner. He says he believes the case for action is now but that would be "absolutely concrete" if this spring ushers in another strong real estate season.
