Why Invisalign Has Gained Much Popularity
Posted on February 25, 2020
Some people are born with misaligned teeth and many feel the need to get their teeth straightened. Thanks to technology, there are many ways of straightening the teeth including braces, veneers, and Invisalign. Some of these services are offered by general dentists. However, it is vital to note that only 5% of the dentists are trained as orthodontists, which is why you should choose your provider wisely.
Invisalign is an orthodontic procedure for people with misaligned or crooked teeth. The trays are custom made for every stage of the process based on your individual treatment needs. Each of the trays gently pushes the teeth to their correct position as planned by your orthodontist. You’ll even be able to see simulation of your teeth moving into the correct position when you come in for your initial scan.
Who can Undergo Invisalign?
This procedure can benefit many dental patients, including:
- People with overcrowded, crooked, and misaligned teeth
- People with extremely spaced teeth
- People with an open bite
- Those with jaws that don’t meet properly
- People with a closed bite
The Invisalign Procedure
Invisalign aligner trays function similarly to traditional braces. However, unlike braces, the trays are placed over the teeth using a clear plastic rather than getting attached directly with a metal bracket.
The course of treatment involves the patient wearing different aligners over the length of their treatment, with each aligner dictating the next movement of the teeth. In most cases, an aligner is worn for around one week before being replaced by the next one in the series.
The first step is getting an expert orthodontist around your area who can offer Invisalign procedures. Notably, all orthodontists are dentists, but only 5% of dentists are orthodontists. They’ll assess the condition of your teeth, discuss various treatment options available, and help you understand what treatment option works best for you. They’ll then customize a treatment plan for you. Dr. Parker has used the Invisalign system for years, so if you’re considering this treatment in the Baton Rouge area, he would love to meet with you for a free consultation.
In the case where Invisalign treatment is the method you’ve chosen, the doctor and staff will prepare the aligners. Once they are ready to go, you’ll receive your first set of aligners to begin treatment.
How to Choose the Right Orthodontist
Here are a few tips that will help ensure you receive a smooth orthodontic experience. Above all, do your research through multiple channels before making a decision.
1. Consider their Education
Get a list of a few orthodontists in your area. Then do some research to find out about their educational background, as well as experience. Since orthodontics receive additional education beyond dental school, it helps to check to see what programs they completed.
There’s also the consideration of board-certified orthodontists. These doctors receive even more education after getting their orthodontic certificate. Since orthodontics requires much more extensive knowledge beyond just straightening teeth, board-certification allows doctors to fully develop their skill sets in correcting many potential issues.
3. Ask Questions
During these visits to various clinics, ensure you ask as many questions as you can think of. For example, what insurance policies they accept, what payment plans they offer, etc. From there, you can make informed decisions. However, while lower prices can seem appealing at the get go, your smile is something you have for the rest of your life. Make sure you’re choosing a provider who will give you the best income for a lifetime.
Why Is Invisalign Preferred?
Although braces have been in existence for centuries, Invisalign has become more popular in recent years. Here are four top reasons why people prefer the latter.
1. They Look Better
Unlike other options available, Invisalign aligners are invisible. The trays used in the procedure are made of clear thermoplastic material, which is customized for each patient. Invisalign is less noticeable than other methods, which is their major selling point.
2. They Are Easily Removable
As much as you may want your teeth straightened, it’s great to have the freedom to take the aligners off at will. You can easily remove them any time you need to brush and floss your teeth, then put them back in place once you are done.
Keep in mind though, removing them regularly can interrupt the entire process and compromise effectiveness. Make sure to remove them only when necessary.
3. You Eat What You Want
It’s no fun when a medical procedure comes between you and your favorite meal or snack. However, with Invisalign aligners, you can eat anything — including sticky foods.
If you don’t want to give up your favorite foods to get started with braces, consider getting Invisalign trays. You can always take the trays off, eat what you want, and then put them back on after.
4. They Are Comfortable
As you would expect, all teeth-straightening methods come with slight discomfort. However, Invisalign braces can be a bit gentler during treatment. It all depends on your individual plan.
Make the Move
Although your orthodontist will recommend the best treatment for your condition, the final decision lies with you. Weigh your options carefully when deciding how to start your new smile journey. Give our office a call today to get started!

Violence against women is escalating
Baghdad / Victory of the Mayal Babylon / Iqbal Muhammad
"Since 2003, every year on this day, we hope the same security is coming next year and we celebrate the elimination of violence against women in Iraq, but the Sunnis come and come with it," says Boshra al-Obeidi, a law expert. Today, he does not carry with him an inquiry into our wishes, nor does it indicate the beginning of their realization. On the contrary, he brings with him a new image or a new method of violence against women. 1959) and I think it is the worst gift among the gifts of the owners of power, and remains the decision to us and will not stand Tin in front of these gifts, but Snrdha them in the strongest of them in the next election. "
"Although there are units to protect against domestic violence, women are unable to break their silence because there is no law to protect against domestic violence and because women who are exposed to violence and for many reasons," said Hiba Hussein, a female activist at the protest vigil against violence against women. Not to believe the police as a place to resort to in addition to the inability of this institution to solve problems related to violence against women and girls in a few cases are almost rare.
Bint Al-Rafidain, a women's rights organization in the province of Babil, revealed that violence against women has risen to more than 78%. Government authorities and parliament called for urgent intervention to protect the family against the dangers of dispersion and loss.
The Executive Director of the organization Alia Al-Ansari said in an interview with "Al-Mada" that "
"The study showed that a large percentage of the women of Babylon are subjected to violence of all kinds reached 78.88%, which is a large percentage that calls for reconsidering the system of laws and legislation on women's rights, which affect the reality of life and family and reconsider the planning carried out by effective executive institutions contribute In protecting women's rights and reducing violence against them. "
"For years, we have been working on the issue of violence against women and we will continue to continue because our cause is the issue of life, the issue of rights, a dignified life, equality in life opportunities and the creation of leadership opportunities that contribute to change and reform the reality of women," she said.
"The march against violence against women is a long and arduous process that requires the efforts of everyone from the state and its legislatures to the society and human rights defenders, who are facing a great challenge today with the rise and spread of violence and the root of this violence, which begins with the most obvious headlines: beating women and confiscating their rights, To provide adequate protection measures for them and their rights and to create decent livelihoods for them as is happening now with thousands of women in IDP camps, as well as in the home, the department, the university, the school and public places.
"On the occasion of the International Day against Violence against Women, we will launch a campaign involving all the 16-day anti-violence organizations planned by the Secretariat General of the Council of Ministers, the United Nations and civil society organizations to combat violence against women under the slogan" Let the world shine in orange color. So that violence against women and girls ends ").

Oh, nohope187, I gently disagree about whites in the military because as you know our military is an equal opportunity killer.
Besides, a lot of the recruitment is targeted at urban youth who are offered the Army, etc., as a way to get a boost out of a lifetime of menial jobs, etc. "March your way to college!!"

Genetic determinants of plasma triglycerides: impact of rare and common mutations.
Curr Atheroscler Rep
Raised plasma triglyceride (TG) levels are an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), and thus understanding the genetic and environmental determinants of TG levels are of major importance. TG metabolism is a process for delivering free fatty acids for energy storage or b-oxidation, and involves a number of different hydrolytic enzymes and apolipoproteins (apo). The genes encoding these proteins are, therefore, candidates for determining plasma TGs. Although rare mutations in lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the major TG-hydrolyzing enzyme, and apo CII (APOC2), its essential activator, result in extremely high plasma TG levels, their low frequency means they have little impact upon TG levels in the general population. Common mutations in LPL, apo CIII (APOC3), and apo E (APOE) have the strongest effect on plasma TG levels at the population level. In addition, environmental factors such as diet, obesity, and smoking interact with genetic determinants of TG to produce a modulating high-risk environment.

“I hope before I leave this earth, we in Guyana will be able to reach across the political and ethnic divide that separates us, so that together as Guyanese we can build a country that is prosperous, a country that is at peace, a country that is pragmatic; a country that all of us as Guyanese can be proud of.”
Guyana has everything it requires to become a kind of pearl in the Caribbean. At least this is the conviction of one of our esteemed Scientists, Dr. Ulric Trotz.
Although Dr. Trotz currently resides in Belize, he had long set the pace for the evolution of science here and, according to him, he is still willing to continue to lend his support if asked.
During a recent interview, Dr. Trotz shared his belief that Guyana not only has the natural resources, but also has access to the necessary qualified people to significantly advance science.
“Even though we complain some times, and rightly so, about the deterioration in some of our educational standards, our students still continue to shine, and as you go around the world there are Guyanese who have excelled in their fields of endeavour,” Dr. Trotz asserted.
Some of these persons who have excelled were in fact students of Dr. Trotz back in the day. He confided too that “the many young people who I have taught and mentored over the years are now well established professionals at home and in the Diaspora”.
The scientist, with many years of experience under his belt, is therefore absolutely confident that Guyana has the potential of utilising the talents of many of its nationals that have excelled.
Dr. Trotz’s dedication to things rooted in science over the years that have considerably helped the developmental process, not only in Guyana, but in the Caribbean, has essentially catapulted him into the realm of an exceptional ‘Special Person’.
And according to our ‘Special Person’, “what we need is an environment, basically, that would allow a full expression of the sort of talent and aspiration of our people. We need to have an enabling environment for people to contribute to our development”.
But there are challenges to consequential development that Dr. Trotz emphasises, he wishes to see overcome before his days expire.
“I hope before I leave this earth, we in Guyana will be able to reach across the political and ethnic divide that separates us, so that together as Guyanese, we can build a country that is prosperous, a country that is at peace, a country that is pragmatic; a country that all of us as Guyanese can be proud of.”
POISED FOR SUCCESS
Born on February 21, 1937 to Donald Cole and Classie Trotz, Dr. Trotz revealed that he grew up in a number of areas including Bartica, Beterverwagting, Bagotville, Leonora and Georgetown. Fondly called “Neville”, he recalled that his mother raised him single-handedly, and according to him, she was a wonderful woman.
He was an only child, and his upbringing was as simple as it was complex, to some extent. He attended Bartica Anglican Primary School, Beterverwagting Government School, as well as Enterprise High School and Queen’s College.
He later pursued undergraduate studies at Edinburgh University before moving on to his postgraduate studies at the University of Toronto in Canada, where he attained his Doctorate in Organic Chemistry.
Although his working experience and achievements are wide and varied, and spans decades, Dr. Trotz remembers all too well that his first working experience was as a Laboratory Assistant – in the Chemistry Laboratory – at Queen’s College.
He reflected that as a young boy, his passion was to study Medicine. However, those dreams were shattered as his mother did not have the financial resources to pay for medical school.
Chemistry was the natural next option.
“I liked Chemistry as a subject, and was awarded what in those days was a Government conditional scholarship to pursue studies in Chemistry,” Dr. Trotz said.
Although it wasn’t his original choice, he nevertheless was unwavering in dedicating himself to his studies. He gained inspiration to strive to be the best from his uncle, Lionel Trotz, a headmaster who performed the role of “father” in his life. Among his motivators, too, were his principal at Enterprise High School, Robert B.O. Hart and the “magnificent” teachers at Queen’s College including Cecil E.”Bup” Barker and Malcolm Boland in Chemistry, and Clarence “Puck” Drayton, in Physics.
He excelled in his academic pursuits and was eventually furnished with the wherewithal to establish a number of institutions that are still thriving. Among these are the Chemistry Department at the University of Guyana (UG) and the Institute of Applied Science and Technology (IAST). He also served for many years as a handwriting and ballistics expert.
MAKING AN IMPACT
Dr. Trotz currently holds the position of Deputy Director and Science Adviser at the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre in Belize. The centre was officially opened in August 2005 as the key institute for information on climate change issues, and on the Region’s response to managing and adapting to climate change in the Caribbean.
“It has the mandate to coordinate and implement actions in the Region in response to climate change impacts that we anticipate,” Dr. Trotz explained, as he pointed out that “it happens to be the only regional Centre of its kind, and has been recognised by the international community as a “Centre of Excellence” in the climate change arena”. Last year the Centre celebrated its 10th Anniversary.
But one of his most passionate involvements, however, has been the establishment of the Iwokrama International Centre for International for Rainforest and Conservation Development.
Iwokrama was established in 1996 to manage the forest area, following signature the year before of an international agreement between the Guyana Government and the Commonwealth Secretariat.
It is Dr. Trotz’s hope, however, that “a marriage possibly between the University of Guyana and Iwokrama would breathe new life into it (Iwokrama) and get it to realise its full potential.”
“I am still so excited about Iwokrama. I think that it could really be a global ‘Centre of Excellence” when it comes to issues of managing forests…it’s 252,000 hectares you know,” Dr. Trotz asserted.
According to him, Iwokrama has remained very close to his professional heart. As such, he noted, “I really want it to continue to succeed”. He divulged too that an aspect of Iwokrama that he would especially like to see reach new heights is that of eco-tourism.
Eco-tourism today is regarded as high-end tourism with tremendous potential. Dr. Trotz therefore highlighted that at Iwokrama there are many attractions suitable for eco-tourists. “What we need to do there, I think, is to put in place a world class eco-tourism facility and use it as a revenue-generating centre for Iwokrama, and not only that, use it to train people that we would need for eco-tourism not only in the Iwokrama area, but throughout the length and breadth of Guyana.”
ADVANCING THE SCIENCES
Dr. Trotz has a keen interest in advancing the sciences in the school system. He has, moreover, stressed the importance of taking advantage of natural resources in this endeavour. In doing the basic sciences, he noted, “we need to take advantage of our natural resources…we can infuse some of these issues into the agenda,” said Dr. Trotz, as he asked “how many of our children in the school system attend Summer camps or have an opportunity to go into the Rupununi Savannah or even into the Iwokrama Forest? They don’t know anything about the natural estate in Guyana…They might hear about it in school.”
For this reason, he underscored that “We need to look at how we infuse a lot of these things into the curriculum, so that at the end of the day, you have somebody coming out of the school system who is fully aware of the potential of what we have, and more importantly, how we can use that for the benefit of our country.”
Once this approach is embraced, Dr. Trotz envisages a society where people are genuinely excited about a common goal, which essentially is to help develop the country.
But Guyana is not the only country lacking in terms of the need to considerably advance its science curriculum.
“In the Caribbean they have the tourism industry, and they depend so much on the marine environment, but how many of the schools basically teach about marine environment? So we all need to revisit our curriculum to make sure that it is grounded in the realities of our local scene,” Dr. Trotz advised.
With the advancement of science, he is convinced that a number of developmental challenges that fall under the climate change umbrella, such as food security and water issues, can be readily addressed. With science, he stressed, tackling issues from flood to drought could essentially be achievable, as long as the right measures are in place.
But according to Dr. Trotz, the problem in realising the intended goal has always been limited capacity. As such, he emphasised the need for planning and necessary funding in order to implement strategic projects.
Countries throughout the Caribbean have been similarly challenged and the result, according to Dr. Trotz, has been that the whole ethic of using science and technology for development has not been duly maximized.
“It hasn’t been allowed to exercise its full potential,” the scientist stressed as he confidently assured that there is hope for Guyana.
He referenced IAST, which he headed for a number of years, as a means to advance Guyana’s developmental status.
“I think it is still a critical institution as we move ahead with development.”
In this regard, according to him, things are poised to be fast-tracked with support from UG, since “at UG there seems to be new energy with the new Vice Chancellor.
A SOFTER SIDE
But Dr. Trotz’s existence is not only driven by his passion for science. Many people know of him being a loving husband, and a very dedicated father to his four offspring – two girls (Maya and Alissa) and two boys (Garth and Johann). Sadly, Garth recently passed away. But he has many fond memories with all of his children that he will forever cherish.
His advice to his children over the years has been rather simple – strive for excellence. He has offered similar counsel to youths in whose lives he has played a role.
In fact, he urges all youths desirous of embracing the sciences “go for it and aim for excellence. Strive to achieve the highest standards in whatever you do, and give your imagination and creativity free reign. Aim for the sky but with your feet firmly on the ground”.
But he also enjoys quality personal time. According to Dr. Trotz, among his favourite pastimes is listening to music. And he could perhaps be deemed a sports fanatic, especially when it comes to football and cricket. He particularly revels in victories claimed by the West Indies team, and has been pleased with their recent successes.

(Visit his web site, linked in his last paragraph, for comments on the Olympics and on international relations...) From U.S. Representative Morgan Griffith, R-VA-9:
As summarized by The Hill, a report released earlier this month by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Inspector General (OIG) found that the EPA “has not properly analyzed the environmental effects of its ethanol mandate.” The Hill story explains that “The 2005 law creating the renewable fuel standard requires the EPA to write reports on the environmental impacts of the requirement to blend ethanol and other biofuels with gasoline, and to determine whether measures are needed to blunt the effects. But the [OIG] found the agency’s compliance with those provisions lacking.”
For many of us, the results of this OIG report are unsurprising.
For many of its major rules, EPA does not assess the ripple effects of its rules across the economy and often underestimates the potential job losses from its regulations.
For example, while EPA acknowledged potential lost “job years” of up to 26,000 in 2025 and up to 34,000 in 2030 for the electricity, coal and natural gas sectors due to the Clean Power Plan, EPA did not consider the full economy-wide impacts of the rule. The Energy Information Administration recently projected that the Clean Power Plan would reduce coal production in all major U.S. supply regions, while if the Clean Power Plan is not implemented, “U.S. coal production remains close to 2015 levels through 2040.” Based on the EIA’s analysis, the National Mining Association recently projected that the actual job losses in the coal sector alone due to the Clean Power Plan could be 100,000 or more.
Similarly, the EPA proposed regulations on boilers in 2010, which the regulated community concluded would have put at risk nearly 230,000 jobs across the U.S. economy, including over 20,000 jobs in the forest products sector alone. All the while, EPA continued to suggest there would no or minimal job losses from the proposed rule.
EPA bureaucrats in their alabaster towers in Washington don’t seem to understand how the economy in the real world works. They have essentially accused industry of crying wolf. But that “wolf” has consumed our jobs, and our people are paying the price.

AMAZING swiss roll
the original yet inspiring cake that you cannot resist 🙂
1. Preheat oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Lightly brush the base of a 33cm x 23cm Swiss roll tin with oil. Grease proof paper the base of the tin.exactly. Brush the paper with a little more oil, then dust with caster sugar and flour.
2. Put the sugar and eggs into a large bowl and whisk with an electric hand whisk for 10 mins, until pale and thick enough for the mixture to leave a trail when the whisk is lifted.
3. Sift half the flour into the mixture and fold in very carefully until no traces of flour are left. Repeat with the remaining flour. It’s important to take your time and do it gently. Fold in 1 tablespoon warm water.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and use a spatula to smooth it evenly into the corners. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, until golden and risen and just firm to the touch. Meanwhile, put the jam in a bowl and stir.
5. Lay out a damp clean cloth on the work surface. Lay a piece of greaseproof paper that is larger than the sponge on top. Dust the greaseproof paper with caster sugar. Run a knife around the edge of the warm sponge and turn out on to the sugar-dusted paper.
6. Peel the paper off the base of the sponge. Trim off the edges of the sponge. Spoon the jam onto the sponge and spread out, leaving a little border of clean sponge all around.
7. Make an cut about 1cm in from the short edge near you, being careful not to cut through the cake: this makes it easier to roll up.
8. Start rolling, using the incision to help you make the first turn. Use the paper to help you roll the sponge tightly. Sit it seam-side down until cold.
(TopTip: The eggs (which should be at room temperature) and caster sugar must be whisked for a full 10 minutes with an electric whisk, until pale and thick. It’s thick enough when it’s about three times the volume. When you lift out the whisk, the thick mixture that drips off should leave a trail on top of the rest.)

I understand that public employees, including Lt. Jason Short, have the constitutional right of free speech. I understand that he was not on duty at the time or speaking on behalf of the police department or the city. Nevertheless, he should be admonished for his social media posts.
Lt. Short is espousing disregard for a legally enacted mask mandate. Like anti-vaxxers, he espouses anarchy, the nonrecognition of authority. Citing laws protecting “personal freedom” and “free speech,” he urged people to violate the mask mandate.
The reality is that COVID-19 is serious. It is a public safety issue, and everyone is either part of the solution or part of the problem. Wearing a mask in public, getting vaccinated, limiting gatherings are many parts of the solution.
Police departments are expected to be fair, honest, respect the law and be a part of the solution. Police cite individuals for behaviors potentially injurious to the public. Not wearing a mask in public should be added to the list that includes drunk driving, speeding and jay walking.
The tacit approval by Police Chief Steven Russo of Lt. Short’s postings suggests a culture within the police department minimizing it’s mission of public safety. Posting a message that residents should not comply with a law goes beyond “right to publicly discuss and give opinions.” It is insurrection.

Jenova Chen on his desire to prove artistic games can be hugely profitable, why he won't be Kickstarting games anytime soon, and next-gen expectations
Anything but mobile...
For a guy who almost ran his company bankrupt, the last thing he should be talking about is free-to-play. But that's just me.
Yeah we have more than enough mobile developers. Mobile games are just so boring.
A lot of them are really good. While I was sick I played a game called Tiny Bang Story on my tablet. Very creative and relaxing game. And they don't set you back $40. Instead it's $1 or $2 with lots of free trial versions.
Then you're playing the wrong mobile games.
It's where you should go to maximize profits. Plus it cost less to develop.
Well, mobile is where lots of money is to be made. Why limit yourself to an single platform.
Because said dev made ALOT of money and ended up earning the award of the fastest selling PSN title of this generation by using that "single platform"? You can't honestly say to me you think a mobile game could ever equal what Journey did in terms of both how amazing the game was and the phenominal reception it recieved?
"Because said dev made ALOT of money and ended up earning the award of the fastest selling PSN title of this generation by using that "single platform"? " There has only been one generation of PSN... This one.
@Series_lla And the PS3 has been around since 2006. It's not an achievement to have outsold every single game ever released on PSN which has had almost 7 years and 100's if not 1000's of titles?
^ Your argument still isn't compelling: 1. Said dev was bankrupt while making Journey, and luckily Journey got the attention it deserved to sell well. It was a risky move, and it doesn't always work out for some devs (such as LightBox Interactive) 2. You're using a relative scale by saying it was the best selling game on PSN. It's not a hard number, and could be cynically interpreted to mean that PSN games just have low overall sales. 3. It isn't necessary that they actually get to see the money made from Journey's sales. They were under a contract to produce those games. Chances are that they might get royalties, but it isn't a given. I suppose I can agree that a mobile game would have difficulty matching the gameplay, but I think they could've easily gotten a comparably positive reception had they gone mobile.
where did you get they made a lot of money? PSN sales figures are never released, what's the #2 best selling PSN game? Infamous: Festival of Blood? I can't imagine that would outsell Infamous 2, which only sold 1.5 million. so really, the "best selling" PSN games don't sell millions like retail games do. I know there's Journey Collector's Edition in retail, but that's ranked #200 in sales in Amazon right now in video games.
He'll regret it you'll see
He'll make a ton of money probably but his game won't have the same impact as a proper console game.
Maybe, maybe not but everyone likes being famous.
Mobile games and p2w/micro transactions something gaming doesnt need.
There are some awesome mobile games! but just please make good games and charge us a standard price for them, this freemium and free to play bull has got to go. For example this new Real Racing game where if your car gets damaged enough it can take TWENTY minutes to repair, of course you can pay real cash to have it insta-repaired, sorry but this is not for me. At all.
Oh boy. Mobile games. Just what we always wanted from the man who brought up Flower and Journey.
Good luck with all that, JC. I hope your free to play games show up on PSN because mobile games aren't really my thing.

You can't unwatch this.
Still, that hasn't stopped the "All American" from showing off his moves on UFC Tonight, and even did his best
Kermit the Frog Anderson Silva voice when prompted. He is, of course, referring to the longtime 185-pound titleholder, who in the past has flaunted his singing (video here) as well as his dancing (watch it here).
When you're the greatest MMA fighter in the world, you can get away with that kind of stuff.
Silva will have a chance to punish the young up-and-comer for his insolence (and comments like these) when they collide in the main event of the UFC 162: "Weidman vs. Silva" pay-per-view (PPV) event, which goes down on July 5, 2013 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Until then, enjoy their dancing.

Sprayberry NJROTC Anti-Hazing, Bullying and Harassment
While the SNSIs of NJROTC units are responsible for implementing programs to prevent hazing and bullying, cadets are expected to show good citizenship and leadership by assuring the fair treatment of all. The cadets’ program should include ways to report improper conduct without fear of reprisal, corrective actions as deemed necessary to prevent recurrence in accordance with school policies regarding misconduct.
a. Hazing is the practice of rituals and other activities involving harassment, abuse, or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group (usually an informal association that acts in secret). Hazing is any action or situation, with or without the consent of the participants, which recklessly, intentionally, or unintentionally endangers the mental, physical, or academic health or safety of a student.
b. Bullying is any type of unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance with the intent to abuse, embarrass, control, or harm the victim. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or written (to include social media).
c. Cyber bullying uses electronic communications devices. Social media must be guarded so as not become the avenue for bullying and sexual harassment. With the proliferation of social media, most students are aware of cyber bullying immediately and quite often know the perpetrator and the victim. However, most cyber bullying goes unreported. It is wrong to subject any one to bullying and it is our shared responsibility to ensure it doesn’t happen.
d. Sexual harassment is bullying of a sexual nature and includes the creation of an atmosphere of fear or mistrust.
Hazing/bullying is not acceptable in any form in the NJROTC program. NJROTC cadets should feel confident in their knowledge of prevention of hazing and bullying and should apply that knowledge throughout their school and community. We expect our cadets to be role models for other students. As professionals we understand that there is no place for any form of hazing or bullying.
An outstanding web resource for recognizing and dealing with bullying is stopbullying.gov. This site has several pages, videos and other resources to help with this problem. Copy/paste the following url:

Is the warm weather here to stay?
- Credit: Archant
People across Suffolk and North Essex basked in a heatwave over the weekend. But is the good weather here to stay?
Sunshine and soaring temperatures have brought an early taste of summer to the region over the last few days, with sweltering conditions on Friday and Saturday, and warm weather continuing yesterday.
However, Weatherquest expert Adam Dury said the hot weather now looked to be over - and there is even a possibility of a grass frost next weekend.
“Temperatures are still above average today, with general highs of 16C expected in Suffolk and North Essex,” he said. “The average for the time of year is about 12 to 14.”
Mr Dury said temperatures would continue to be lower than recent levels over the rest of the week and there was no sign of the hot weather returning. “It doesn’t look as if there will be any high temperatures in the next week or so.”
You may also want to watch:
Temperatures on Sunday were in fact slightly lower than they had been on Saturday, with highs of 24C recorded at Wattisham and Charsfield and a slightly higher 24.5C at Writtle in Essex.
But Mr Dury said there had been more humidity on Sunday than earlier in the week, which meant it still continued to feel hot.

Parts of the region, including Bury St Edmunds, Newmarket, Beccles, Lowestoft and Saffron Walden, were hit by predicted thunderstorms on Sunday, while other areas escaped completely.
Mr Dury said there was no rain forecast for today, but heavy showers were likely on Wednesday and Thursday.
Before the early summer weather arrived, we had a late blast of winter with the Beast from the East and the so-called mini-Beast bringing ice and snow.
There are no predictions of wintry weather returning, but Mr Dury said there is a possibility of a grass frost for one night at the weekend.

- Mend your ways or meet same fate as Chidambaram: BJP MLA warns Mamata
The MLA from Bairia Assembly constituency Surendra Singh said the Trinamool Congress supremo should "become the Prime Minister of Bangladesh" as she was opposed to the National Register of Citizens (NRC).

- Congress issues showcause notice to Rae Bareli MLA Aditi Singh for attending UP's special Gandhi Jayanti assembly session
The Congress on Friday issued a showcause notice to Rae Bareli MLA Aditi Singh for defying party line and attending the 36-hour-long special session of the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly organised by Yogi Adityanath government to mark 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. Incidentally, Aditi was nowhere seen in Priyanka Gandhi’s Maun Padyatra.

- Another TMC MLA joins BJP; 'more West Bengal legislators likely to switch sides'
A day after 3 MLAs defected to the BJP, one more legislator from TMC switched loyalty to the saffron camp on Wednesday.

The development comes a day after three MLAs and 50 councillors defected to BJP.
- Four-time Congress MLA may jump ship
Congress received a jolt when it became clear that its four-time MLA from Chandni Chowk, Parlad Singh Sawhney, would join the Aam Aadmi Party. The veteran politician, who wants to field his son Punardeep Singh Sawhney from the Chandni Chowk seat, is understood to be under the impression that Congress might prefer Alka Lamba, who recently left AAP to join Congress.

DPA Degree and PhD in Public Administration Job Outlook
Completing a DPA degree or a PhD in public policy can qualify you for the most prestigious jobs in the field: executive roles in nonprofit organizations, policy-making positions in government and university professorships.
In 2014, the median annual salary was $173,320 for top executives and $62,330 for postsecondary teachers, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). However, salaries and other compensation in both fields range considerably higher with experience.
While the BLS does not break out public administrator's salary, other sources - inlcuding PayScale - place salaries average $66,000 for the first 20 years of work, and $140,000 with two decades of experience. BLS also does not break out public policy, but Payscale places salaries in that area of public administration in the $75,000 during the first decade work.
Salaries will vary based on the organization and the location, so it's important to research the specifics of the job you hope to attain.
PhD in Public Administration or DPA vs. PhD in Public Policy
While related in many ways, public administration and public policy differ significantly.
Earning a DPA degree or completing a DPA program will place you in line for the top jobs in the public administration field. This can lead to directing large organizations or departments within this organizations. Jobs are available in this field at the federal, state, county and city levels of government, as well as within nonprofit organizations. A PhD in Public Administration essentially prepares you to be a CEO, but within the public and nonprofit sectors.
Jobs for those with a PhD in Public Policy are also available in the public and nonprofit sectors. However, those who work in public policy tend to focus on policy analysis, including how efficient public policies are and how budget cuts can affect services. They may also navigate the often complex world of regulations and help write policy propsoals, among other duties.
Top Public Administration Graduate Programs
U.S. News & World Report, which ranks colleges in many different categories, ranked the best Public Affairs schools in 2012. The Top 5 schools in the list are:
There are more than 150 schools in the Public Administration Graduate Program rankings. For the complete list, click here.
Syracuse University (The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs)
Indiana University - Bloomington
Harvard University (John F. Kennedy School of Government)
University of Georgia
Princeton University (Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs
Choosing a Public Administration PhD or DPA Program
There are many factors in choosing the right school and the right degree program in all areas, and the same is true for public administration. If you have a area of specific interest within public administration and public policy, find a school that specializes in that area. Location can also be important, although many schools have degree programs - or at least some portion of the program - online. Such distance learning helps make going to school more flexible.
Accreditation is also key. As with the schools listed on this page, all of which are accredited, the process of attaining accreditation means that the program has been reviewed and found to meet high standards for, among other things, faculty, curriculum and student services.

People ages 65 and older could pay an extra $2,000 for health insurance if they’re excluded from Medicare, the federal health-care program for the elderly, according to the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. Other government and private health plans would see costs rise as would-be Medicare recipients seek care elsewhere.
The proposal, which President Obama in a Bloomberg interview signaled a willingness to consider in talks over a deficit-reduction deal, would fail to address Medicare’s more pressing fiscal issues. These include the high cost of providing end-of-life care, said Paul Keckley, executive director of the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions in Washington.
Raising the eligibility age is “math that works very well for reducing the federal outlay for Medicare,” Keckley said. “It doesn’t mean costs will go away. It’ll be someone else’s problem.”
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, proposed the increase as part of a potential accord to stave off more than $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts slated to begin next month. Obama said in a Tuesday interview with Bloomberg Television that while he has his own ideas on reducing entitlement spending, “I’m happy to entertain other ideas Republicans may present.”
The Boehner proposal is only viable because the elderly have alternative sources of insurance under Obama’s 2010 health- care overhaul, said economist Paul Van de Water of the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.
“It’s clear no Democrat would be even willing to think about this idea without health reform,” Van de Water said.
Medicare’s eligibility age, 65, hasn’t been increased since the program began in 1966. That’s fueled complaints that it hasn’t kept pace with increases in longevity. People turning 65 in 1940 could expect to live another 14 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. They can expect an additional 20 years today.
“We’re living longer, right?” said Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C. “We haven’t updated the law to reflect that.”
Congress agreed in 1983 to increase the retirement age for full Social Security benefits to 67, a change that doesn’t take complete effect until 2022. Seniors would accept a similar gradual alteration to Medicare, Republicans say.
The savings to the federal budget would depend on how much the age is lifted and how quickly. While Boehner’s proposal doesn’t offer specifics, House Republicans called for increasing eligibility to age 67 in their fiscal 2013 budget. Medicare spending would be cut $148 billion over a decade if eligibility increased two months each year to age 67 in 2027.
Savings to the government would accumulate slowly as Medicare began paying benefits to fewer people. The Treasury would collect more in Medicare payroll taxes because many seniors previously eligible for the program would keep working instead, to retain their health insurance. By 2035, the change would reduce projected Medicare spending by 5 percent, according to the CBO.
Government spending would increase elsewhere as many erstwhile Medicare beneficiaries became eligible for other health-care programs. Some would join Medicaid, the federal- state insurance program for the poor. Others would receive subsidies to buy private coverage under Obama’s health-care overhaul, the Affordable Care Act. That would reduce the federal government’s net savings to $113 billion, the CBO said.
The number of uninsured people would rise, Keckley said, because some seniors would forgo purchasing insurance and wouldn’t be eligible for Medicaid, particularly in states that decline to expand that program.
Two-thirds of seniors would see their health-care bills climb by $2,200 if lawmakers immediately raised the age to 67, according to a study last year by the Kaiser Family Foundation of Menlo Park, Calif. Employers’ costs would grow by about $4.5 billion, Kaiser said, because their health plans would cover more elderly workers with health problems.
Former Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Holtz- Eakin said that shouldn’t be a concern.
“I don’t see why it’s a presumption that the federal government should pay for everyone’s health care,” said Holtz- Eakin, a one-time adviser to President George W. Bush. “The real cost shift is when people go on Medicare and make everybody else pay for their health care.”
The proposal would squeeze spending on some of Medicare’s cheapest beneficiaries – younger recipients tend to be healthier so they place fewer demands on the program – without addressing older, more expensive seniors.
Average Medicare spending among those between the ages of 65 and 75 amounted to $5,887 in 2006, according to Kaiser. The program spent more than twice that, $12,059, on those ages 85 and over. Spending on those in their last year of life represented 28 percent of all Medicare costs in 1999, according to the program’s actuaries.
AARP, the advocacy group for the elderly, sent volunteers yesterday to warn lawmakers of the additional costs.
“There are lots of other things we can do to reduce health-care costs without passing the buck onto beneficiaries,” said Maryland Rep. Chris Van Hollen the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee.

The benefits of dry needling – 3 big ones
(1) Releases fascia or connective tissue more effectively than regular massage. Fascia is the tissue layer in your body right below your skin.
(2) There is a 71% overlap between acupuncture points and trigger points in the body with dry needling, therefore (by correspondence) stimulating other health benefits – not just the physical bodywork benefits.
(3) Active trigger point patterns are particularly prevalent in tension-type headaches; dry needling aims to attack these headache symptoms direct at the source, in the neck and shoulder muscle bellies, therefore “deactivating” headache trigger point activity – in doing so alleviating headache-type symptoms.

Islamabad, Aug 27: Three security personnel were killed and three others injured in a landmine blast in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, a government official said.
Spokesperson of the Balochistan government Liaquat Shahwani told the media that the incident took place on Thursday in the Mangi Dam area of Ziarat district when a vehicle of the paramilitary Pakistan Levies forces hit the landmine, reports Xinhua news agency.
The forces were on a routine patrol.
Following the explosion, rescue teams, police and security forces rushed to the site and shifted the bodies and the injured to a nearby hospital.
Police and security forces have cordoned off the area and launched a search operation.
So far, no group or individual has claimed the attack.


The Constitutional Court has suspended its deliberations in relation to a case brought by thirty-two MPs contesting the provisions of the law on health insurance companies. The court halted proceedings because subsequent amendments have led to changes in the wording of the respective provisions, the SITA newswire reported. The MPs had objected to provisions in the law which allowed health insurance companies to become profit-making joint-stock companies.
According to the petitioners, this legal form is at odds with the Slovak Constitution since health insurance, which it is the role of health insurance companies to provide, has a public character which they argue the private nature of joint-stock health insurance companies contradicts. The Constitutional Court stated that the institutional character of public health insurance provision was not key to meeting the purpose and positive commitment of the state to provide healthcare free of charge. “The fact that [parliament] chose a legal form of joint-stock company does not mean in itself that the guarantee of providing free-of-charge healthcare is threatened or ruled out, or that such a solution is in contradiction with the principles of the state," reads the ruling.

Numerous potential house purchasers believe that your particular credit needs to be into the 600s or 700s to get home financing. This is really maybe maybe not the full situation, as much mortgage brokers offer mortgage loans to consumers with fico scores as little as a 500.
FHA Loan with 580 Credit History
The absolute most typical style of loan accessible to consumers having a 580 credit history is an FHA loan. FHA financial loans just need which you have 500 credit history, therefore through a 580 FICO, you’ll definitely meet up with the credit history demands.
Other FHA loan demands tend to be you will be required to provide 2 years of tax returns, and your 2 most recent pay stubs that you have at least 2 payday loans that accept savings accounts years of employment, which. The optimum debt-to-income ratio is 43% (unless you have got satisfactory “compensating factors”, such as for example a greater advance payment, or money reserves).

'Like taking a journey through time': Photo exhibit highlights North Omaha's storied history
The Charles B. Washington Library is opening a new exhibit focused on the history of North Omaha. The exhibit features dozens of photos from as early as the 1930s.
The Juneteenth flag was raised high on Saturday at the Charles B. Washington Library — representing freedom and justice.
While the flag waves in the sky outside, inside is an exhibit of black and white photos from as early as the 1930s, highlighting North Omaha's rich history.
"We first thought we would just highlight some of the activists like Charlie Washington, and then as we started going through these photos we realized the ones we loved the most were the ones of a lot of everyday people," said Amy Wenzl, the Charles B. Washington Library branch manager.
Walls are adorned with faces of Omaha's past. Some from social clubs, others from beauty pageants. And even people playing mini-golf on 24th and Grant streets — now home to the Omaha Star Newspaper.
"So many fluctuations in this community, I mean there has been economic prosperity, there has been redlining, there has been times of decline, but through all of this what we see is that North Omaha is a family," Wenzl said.
Libraries are full of stories and this exhibit is an extension of that.
"Most cases you can see a time of happiness when great and positive things were occurring, and them being a part of it," said Eric L Ewing.
Ewing is the executive director of the Great Plains Black History Museum. He said looking at the photos from North Omaha's past is like taking a journey through time.
"It's showing you what it was, but also what it can be today," Ewing said.
A reminder to never forget our history, and to always look forward.
If you or anyone you know wants to share their stories from North Omaha's historic past, stop in at the Charles B. Washington Library to check out the exhibit and chat with staff.

A few years ago I had a scare at the doctor when they felt a lump in my breast and there was several weeks of waiting between when they found it and when I could get another exam. During the waiting period I had the time to really start looking into more information about breast cancer. While there is a genetic component, much of cancer risk can be influenced by diet and lifestyle. Did you know many of the chemicals in makeup, lotion and shampoo were found in cancerous breast tissue samples? That info was enough to get my attention.
Also many of the chemicals that are used in the USA are banned in other westernized countries such Canada, Japan, or the European Union where there are stricter standards for safety in cosmetics.
A few weeks later I had an ultrasound and they found that there was nothing to worry about but that scare increased my awareness, now I take my medicine cabinet and makeup bag contents more seriously. I read labels and am cautious about the chemicals I put on my skin.
I first started cleaning up my act with a diet high in healthy fats, organic, wild, grass fed/pastured proteins, and many antioxidant rich vegetables is the best place to start. I am so glad I started an anti-inflammatory, Paleo lifestyle in 2010.
After getting my nutrition on track I started to become aware of all the chemicals in my home and personal care products. One by one I replaced them with fragrance free and plant derived alternatives from this company. Essential oils became critical for me because they can be used for home cleaning, deodorizing, making my home smell amazing. I even updated my natural medicine cabinet with Young Living’s OTC pain cream and bug repellent, after sun spray and natural sunscreen.
Then I moved on to my makeup routine which has been more of a challenge because sometimes companies “green wash” products to make them seem natural but in reality are not so clean. I started using the Think Dirty application which rates makeup, shampoo and lotion.
Chemicals to avoid in personal care products:
- synthetic colors
- Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) / Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)
- Propylene glycol
Then the best thing happened in the summer of 2017, my favorite company that I had been using for three years released a line of non-toxic makeup!! I am so excited about these new products from Young Living that I ordered all of them after trying them at the convention.
They are free of talc, bismuth, gluten and artificial colors just to name a few. The most important thing is to shake up you makeup routine and get rid of the junk that is clogging up your detoxification systems.
See the 5 minute makeover here:
What to order:
Since I am already a wholesale member I keep the following products:
Foundation- warm 2
Blush – Passionate
Lipstick- uptown girl
Lip Gloss – Abundant
Misting spray- helps the makeup go on evenly
eyeshadow- best kept secret
Me after a natural makeup routine with Savvy Minerals!
What comes in the Savvy Minerals starter kit:
best foundation brush ever!
15 ml lavender essential oil

AT&T, BT . . . and IBM: red flag to regulators?
- 10 December, 1998 12:01
Amid the hubbub of Tuesday's news that AT&T plans to buy IBM's global network for $US5 billion, one silent partner that could greatly affect the deal lurked quietly behind the scenes -- British Telecommunications.
With a joint venture worth $10 billion in the works, BT and AT&T are closely tied at the hip. The idea of the venture is to offer a range of data and communication services to multinational companies around the globe -- the same sort of customers AT&T will gain in its planned purchase of IBM's Global Network, in the hope that it will be able to cater to both their data and voice needs.
The whole package could be a red flag to regulators, which could see a BT-AT&T-IBM link-up as going one step too far in cornering a large part of the corporate data communications market, several observers said yesterday.
Just last week, the European Commission announced it would launch a full-scale inquiry into the planned AT&T-BT venture, citing concerns about anti-competitive behaviour. Cable & Wireless -- a British telco that recently lifted a regulatory roadblock for the WorldCom-MCI Communications merger by acquiring MCI's Internet backbone -- said it had filed documents to the Commission regarding its concerns about the AT&T-BT alliance. The concern that Cable & Wireless has is that together BT and AT&T will corner too much of the market for communication services to multinational companies, a spokesman said.
How AT&T and BT will meld the IBM dial-up and leased-line network into their offerings to corporate customers is unclear. A BT spokesman said yesterday that it was too early to tell what effect the IBM acquisition would have on the AT&T-BT relationship.
"It is the early days at the moment," the spokesman said. The global venture will be aimed at multinational customers, so it seems apparent that the IBM network would somehow become part of these offerings, he said.
However by adding IBM's data network into their service offerings for corporate customers, AT&T and BT could come under even more scrutiny from regulators in Europe, said Mitul Mehta, an analyst with Frost & Sullivan in London. While IBM's data network is essentially a different animal than either BT or AT&T's telecom networks, the idea is to target the users of IBM's network with IP-based, converged voice and data services down the road. If regulators think that BT-AT&T, together with IBM's Global Network customer base, constitutes too large a percentage of the corporate communication services market, they could ask the venture to divest some of its businesses, he said.
"With the recent probes announced by European regulators, there will definitely be some demand for counterbalance," Mehta said, now that IBM's network has been added to the picture. "AT&T-BT won't be able to swallow it (IBM's network) whole."
IBM has about 10 per cent of the global managed data market, slightly less in Europe, said James Bennett, an analyst at CIT Research in London. Coupling IBM's reach in the data market with BT's European presence in the same field, they could corner 20 per cent of the market worldwide, even without AT&T's participation.
"The EC might have something to say about that," Bennett said. "I would guess they would find this a problem."
If the commission asks anyone to get rid of a part of its business, it is going to be AT&T, agreed both Bennett and Mehta. The company has a larger global reach than BT, so regulators might ask AT&T to get rid of some of its customers in the data communications market in order to balance out their overall market share in the segment, they said.
CIT's Bennett went as far as to suggest that AT&T's bid for IBM's data customers and network could be a fall-back measure if its alliance with BT gets turned down by regulators. Days after an EU probe into the alliance was announced, AT&T announced the acquisition of the IBM infrastructure. "The timing isn't very convivial to the passing of the BT deal," he said.
However, another analyst was more positive about the AT&T-BT link-up, saying that IBM's data network shouldn't pose a problem to regulators here in Europe.
"What the IBM infrastructure would do is give AT&T broader reach globally, but it wouldn't greatly change the competitive market in Europe," said Robin Bosworth, an analyst at Schema in London. While IBM's network will allow AT&T and BT to expand in Europe, it is more about expanding worldwide, where neither BT nor AT&T have a very large portion of the corporate data services market.
Even in Europe, BT's involvement in the data services market isn't dominant by any means, and even less so for AT&T, he pointed out. Adding IBM's data network customers to the mix won't increase their combined market share to dangerously anti-competitive levels, he said.
In fact, Bosworth said, AT&T's move to acquire a data network is just a harbinger of things to come. As telcos attempt to increase their credibility in the data services market, they will have to acquire or partner with established players.
"We are going to see a lot more telcos merging with data network providers," he said.
