We treat a variety of patients, including patients that are interested in implant overdentures to replace missing or damaged teeth. If you are unfamiliar with this solution, it is an excellent hybrid between traditional dentures and dental implants. The solution is more durable than wearing dentures and can be completed faster than if you were to replace all of your teeth with implants.
We create dentures after taking an impression of your mouth and taking measurements. The dental lab will then make a set of dentures that look natural and fit securely in your mouth. Modern technology makes it possible to have a set of dentures that are far more comfortable than past versions of dentures. Traditional dentures are not permanently secured in place and can slip while eating, laughing, or engaging in a rigorous activity.
Dental implants are the most secure and durable solution for tooth loss. During the process, we implant a metal post under the gums and secure it to the jawbone. Once in place, the implant acts like a new root that can secure the new tooth (crown). As a result, the implant stays in place regardless of what you are eating or activities that you engage in. For people that want to retain an active lifestyle, this is the best solution for doing so. However, the process takes time.
If you have lost all or most of your teeth, an individual implant needs to go where each tooth was. The process for dental implants can take months to complete and be very costly. Implant overdentures are an excellent solution since this procedure uses the same concept as traditional implants, but only places four implants at specified locations.
The lab will create a denture that looks natural and has all of your new teeth attached to it. The difference is that we secure this denture in place by four metal, dental implants. Instead of popping it in every day, your denture is attached so that it will not slip when you eat, speak or laugh. You can enjoy your daily activities without worrying about your teeth or how daily activities will affect them. Another benefit of implant overdentures is that you do not have to go through an extensive surgical process to get them. We can place the posts that secure the implant overdentures in one day.
The entire process for implant overdentures can generally take around two or three appointments. There is no delay between when the implants are placed and when the dentures can be secured to them, which also shortens the process when comparing it to traditional dental implants. If you are looking for a fast and secure solution to tooth loss, there is no comparison to implant overdentures.
Taking care of them is easy as well. Your new teeth will be durable so you can continue to eat your favorite foods, making this solution ideal for those that want the convenience of a full set of teeth.

Many devices support SD cards for storage and as a result there is a massive amount of models on the market. Many of them claim enhanced durability and fast speeds but not all will deliver. Today we take the latest UHS-I class cards from 3 major brands for a spin to see how they stack up. Especially useful if you have a recent DSLR which can take advantage of modern cards.
ADATA package their card in a cardboard sleeve with the product protected by a plastic cover. There are no bundled items with the card however we do get plenty of info on the specs. Those are a 64GB capacity, SDXC Class 10, 95MB/s read, 85MB/s Write and support for 4K2K and 3D though no detail on those last 2 features is provided. ADATA also note that their cards are waterproof, shock proof, magnet proof, x-ray proof and will operate from -25c to 85c. This card has a lifetime warranty.
Kingston also package their SD card in a cardboard container with plastic protector with this family containing 16 -64GB versions. Again we get information on the speeds from the packaging as well as its UHS-I class 3 status and video certifications, including 4K2K and the lifetime warranty.
Lexar have the largest packaging on show here and inside the find the card suspended in a plastic tray. It is also contained in a plastic holder which is ideal for storing a spare card and there is a leaflet for free image recovery software included too (In the event of accidental format/corruption). This 32GB card is rated for 90MB/s read but we have no note of the write speed on the packaging. We shall establish that later. Lexar also offer a lifetime warranty and note their rigorous quality testing as well as HD, 3D and 4K support. Models of 16GB to 256GB are available in this range and to match their cards Lexar offer a similarly branded card reader.
The card reader is shown above and while that image shows the compact flash and SD card slots (and activity LED location), this black section pushes down into the transparent area for protection during transport. The reader has a rubber base to keep it steady on our desk and the USB 3.0 port can be found on the back. This reader supports UDMA7 CompactFlash, CF, SD, SDHC, SDXC and SD UHS-I cards.
Today we are testing all three cards using Lexar’s UHS-I compatible reader. It is connected by USB3.0 however the limitation of the benchmark is likely to be the cards themselves as UHS-I spec is lower than USB 3.0. Our comparison cards are two “high end” SDXC Class 10 cards the Samsung SDXC/Class 10 and Sandisk Ultra.
Shown above are the peak results we achieved on each of the cards. The basic summary is that the ADATA was the fastest on write operations and very competitive with Lexar which was fastest on reads. Kingston were close to both on reads and between the two on writes, leaving Lexar as the slowest writing part of the three UHS-I cards.
For those on Class 10 products, there is a clear advantage in moving to UHS-I as the Sandisk and Samsung models were significantly slower than our three new generation models.
What does that mean in real world use? We tested a few standard card readers and they all sat at around 80mb/s read, 55mb/s write. So we would get a decent boost in transfer speeds just from upgrading cards. Moving to the Lexar reader would boost performance even more though which saves time when transferring large amounts of images (or data) from our card to a PC.
The other key advantage of the UHS-I cards was our experience when used in camera. With a model which supports the new format our shooting speed didn’t increase, that is a camera limitation, but our ability to clear the camera buffer dropped significantly. Using the Sandisk card as an example, it cleared images from the camera buffer to SD card in 53 seconds. Using a UHS-I card dropped that time to 21-23 seconds depending on the model. That means less time (approx. half) waiting for our camera to become available to shoot again after a long burst of images.
Not all cards are created equal and gear clearly has an impact on the overall experience however there is no doubting that a quality reader like the Lexar Professional, mixed with a UHS-I card allows us to work faster. Have a UHS-I capable camera? Then you also get the bonus of being ready to shoot in less time when on the job.

If you listen to, or read the British media often, you will be told at least once a week that the British public loves to talk about the weather. It is always said in such a nostalgic, almost romantic way. They make it out to be one of the quintessential traits that differentiates us from the rest of the world.
And how untrue. People may talk about the weather because they don’t know the other person well enough to talk about anything meaningful or they may not trust them with their own views. Or they may just be too ill-informed to hold a conversation on a different subject.
However, that is by the by, what I’m really getting at is that in ordinary circumstances, people all over the world talk about the weather all the time. I speak seven languages and have lived in several countries from Thailand to Suriname and there is not one country that I have ever visited where the weather is not the main topic of conversation!
Sure, the emphasis might be different. In Thailand, people talk about how hot it is (although it is hot almost every day); Welsh people talk about the rain; Finns talk about the cold… British people are not unique in talking about the weather!
British people lap up this nonsense because most of them don’t speak any foreign languages, but why does the media constantly ram the idea down our throats?
Distraction? Feel-good factor? I don’t know, you tell me. I only know that it is rubbish of the highest order and we are fed it all the time.

At Jackson Eye Associates, in Leland, our optometrists specialize in understanding how the human eye really works, as well as eye diseases and conditions that affect your vision – many of which do not have obvious symptoms. Our Leland eye doctors know how age and risk factors affect vision over time for young and old, and they understand the benefits and features of corrective lenses including eyeglasses and contacts.
So, if you’re looking for a Leland eye doctor near you, look no further than Jackson Eye Associates!
Dr. Jackson is from the small town of Saint Pauls, N.C. A lifelong Tar Heel, he attended Chapel Hill and received his undergrad degree in Business Administration. During his senior year, he decided to pursue optometry as a career. He enjoyed living in the Philadelphia area while earning his doctoral degree from Pennsylvania College of Optometry, but he was eager to return to southeastern N.C. where he belonged.
In the fall of 2003, Dr. Jackson moved to Wilmington and affiliated with Walmart as an independent optometrist. This evolved into a group practice with locations in Monkey Junction, Leland, Porters Neck, and Raleigh.
He is often asked when he plans to open his own private office. Sometimes people are surprised to learn that he has no intention of leaving his current setting. He appreciates the flexibility that his independent group practice offers and enjoys taking care of patients without the worries of selling a product. Being independent from the optical allows him to offer patients his best, unbiased advice. For patients who need correction, he feels that Walmart offers a great value on glasses and contact lenses.
Dr. Jackson loves his chosen career in optometry. He especially likes helping people with contact lenses, which he has worn since the age of 13. He enjoys sports, playing on Masonboro Island, traveling, and spending time with his wife and dog. He also enjoys eating, so he convinces himself that he likes to exercise too.

After Kyoto, we spent the next couple of days in four different towns. The first town was Arashiyama, a beautiful district an hour west of Kyoto. I highly recommend visiting Arashiyama, even just to walk around for a bit, especially if you’ve spent most of your trip in urban cities like Tokyo and Kyoto. You can take river boat tours, bike through bamboo forests, or ride a scenic railway that runs along the Oi River.
We walked past the postcard-perfect mountains and rivers to visit Arashiyama Monkey Park Iwatayama. After purchasing cheap tickets from the entrance, we had a fifteen-minute uphill hike. It should have been simple, but that day was extremely humid, and we were drenched in sweat in no time. Fortunately, along the trail were huge fans that sprayed mist at us. Once we got to the top, we were greeted with frozen towelettes and an air-conditioned hut. What service! The monkeys are native to Japan and called macaque, or “snow monkey”. The monkeys are free to roam the forest, while humans must be inside the hut to feed them. We bought some nuts and fruits from a vendor and fed the playful monkeys through a wire fence. If you recall from my Tokyo post, I had learned that I was terrified of owls, but these monkeys were too adorable to scare me. As soon as I’d give them a nut to eat, they’d put it in their mouth and then place their hand out for more. Just like spoiled children.
Fushimi, just a five-minute train ride from Kyoto, was our next stop. Anyone who’s been to Kyoto has to visit Fushimi Inari, perhaps the most famous shrine in the world. The Shinto shrine was dedicated to the god of rice and sake in the 8th century and sits at the base of a mountain. The shrine includes over 5,000 vibrant orange torii gates that wind up a mountain. It’s breathtaking to walk through, even with the crowds of tourists. After Fushimi, we made our way to Nara, which was the capital of Japan from 710 to 794. We stayed at another ryokan in Nara, but it was very different from the traditional ryokan we stayed at in Kyoto. The ryokan was called Seikanso, and it’s a great alternative if you’re on a limited budget. For about a third of the price of our Kyoto ryokan, Seikanso gave us a much larger tatami bedroom with a balcony view of the immense courtyard below, as well as kaiseki breakfasts every morning, unlimited tea, and access to an onsen. The reason Seikanso was so much cheaper than Kikokuso was that it’s nontraditional. Seikanso had more than twice as many guest rooms, didn’t offer dinners, and felt much less personal than Kikokuso. The dining rooms were not private, so for breakfast, we had to eat in the same room as another guest (gasp!). It was nice to have both experiences of a traditional ryokan and a more mass-produced ryokan. However, if you only have the chance to do one, definitely splurge a little and go with a traditional ryokan.
There are tons of things to do in Nara, but most people come to see the spotted deer that wander around town. According to legend, a god named Takemikazuchi arrived in Nara on a white deer to guard the capital. Since then, the deer have been regarded as sacred animals. We walked from our convenient ryokan to Nara Park, the best place to see hundreds of deer. Multiple vendors throughout the park sold senbei (Japanese rice crackers) for visitors to feed the deer. We bought a couple of packs, and as soon as the deer heard us unwrap them, they ran toward us. It was intimidating! I had read that if you bow to the deer, they’ll bow back to you, but it didn’t seem to work for me. Anthony loved feeding them so much that he ended up buying five packs of senbei.
We only spent one night in Nara, and the next day we continued our journey and stopped at the Himeji Castle. For those of you who don’t know my husband, he builds intricate Metal Earth 3-D models on his free time. He gets really into them, using tweezers and magnifying glasses, and then hogging counter space in our cramped Brooklyn apartment for his growing collection. He built a model of the Himeji Castle, so of course we had to do a side-trip to the city of Himeji.
Himeji Castle is considered to be Japan’s most beautiful surviving feudal castle and is designated as both a national treasure and a UNESCO world heritage site. It is the largest castle in Japan and has 400 years of history. The graceful white hilltop complex resembles a white heron taking flight, which is why its nickname is the “white heron castle”. It comprises 83 buildings with advanced feudal defensive systems.
As soon as we exited the station, we could see the castle looming in the distance. It was another hot day when we were there, so we greatly appreciated the mist fans scattered outside. It took us a couple of hours to walk through, and we even skipped some sections. We found thousands of loopholes throughout the castle, which allowed warriors armed with archers to fire on attackers without exposing themselves. When we entered the castle, we had to take off our shoes and walk around barefoot. Coincidentally, Anthony was wearing his Himeji Castle socks.
We could tell how well Himeji Castle was designed because the entire structure was filled with natural light and felt cool without air conditioning. It’s a stark difference from the clumsy construction of European castles. After steep staircases, we were rewarded with a gorgeous view of the entire city.
The castle was stunning, but my favorite part of Himeji was our lunch. We were starving, and after a quick Google search, I found us an udon restaurant called Menme. Normally not a huge fan of udon (I’m more of a soba girl), my mind was quickly changed as soon as we entered. I knew the udon would be good because it was a tiny, family-run restaurant that’s been dedicated to making fresh udon for 30 years, and we could watch the two chefs hand-make everything from the open kitchen. Hole-in-the-wall places like these are exactly why I travel.
Stuffed with unbelievable udon (fortunately, it didn’t make me cry like the sashimi in Kyoto), we walked back to the train station and headed to our final stop in Japan. Konnichiwa, Osaka!
Wear comfortable clothes when going to the monkey park. While it’s a short hike, it is a jungle. You will get sweaty and dirty, and it’s not completely paved.
Try to get to Fushimi Inari as early as possible. When we went, it was completely packed, and we had to wait a few minutes to get decent shots of the shrine.
Drink everything matcha you can find. The matcha trend has been huge in New York lately, but of course it’s still nothing like Japan. I had the most amazing matcha milkshake outside of the Fushimi Inari shrine, as well as an iced matcha from a vending machine in Himeji. Both items would have been four times the price in New York.

Although most Republican congressmen do not think Rep. Jim Jordan can win enough votes to become next House speaker, his stock would rise if the GOP loses its majority in midterm elections and look for a combative foil to majority Democrat rule, The Hill reported on Wednesday.
Jordan's chances of becoming speaker to replace the retiring Paul Ryan are slim, because there are too many rank-and-file Republicans who hold a grudge against the former Freedom Caucus chairman for forcing out then-Speaker John Boehner, a fellow Ohio Republican, in 2015 and then tormenting Ryan.
But while the speaker position needs a majority of the entire House, the minority leader post only requires a simple majority of the Republican conference.
If the GOP does lose its majority in the midterms, the Freedom Caucus would likely hold a higher percentage of the power within the party, as Democrats would most probably defeat moderate Republicans.
"That might be the perfect job for Jim Jordan because of his fighting attitude and his fighting spirit; he doesn't back down," one RSC member told The Hill. "I think he would be a tremendous minority leader."
A senior GOP aide added, "You want a militant attack dog [like Jordan] as the minority leader. You want someone who will be on TV all day, ruthlessly attacking the Democrats. You want the minority leader to be a staunch defender of the president, because Democrats will be focusing on impeachment and you want someone who will defend against that."
While Ryan has endorsed his top deputy, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy as his successor, rank-and-file Republicans may look to shake up the party's leadership team if they lose their majority in the elections.
After Ryan announced last month he will retire this coming January, the 54-year-old Jordan expressed interest in running for speaker.
Several grass-roots conservative groups have begun campaigning on his behalf, even though they acknowledge it is an uphill battle for him to become speaker, according to Roll Call.
While most Republican congressmen are discussing their preference for speaker behind closed doors, the conservative groups are trying to give those outside Conggress a say in the speaker's race by having them lobby their representatives.
They hope this will not only thwart a McCarthy candidacy but inject enthusiasm among the conservative base for midterm elections if they know that Jordan has a chance to become speaker.
Jordan's "candidacy to lead the House GOP is refreshing and much needed," Andy Roth, vice president for government affairs at the outside conservative group Club for Growth, told The Hill.
"Jim Jordan is a proven conservative. One of his fundamental tenets for governing is that you should do what you promised voters you would do."
Although most Republican congressmen do not think Rep. Jim Jordan can win enough votes to become next House speaker, his stock would rise if the GOP loses its majority in midterm elections.

Arena’s path to completion wasn’t without controversy over who should be footing its $862.9 million bill.
While the Little Caesars Arena officially has opened near the Cass Corridor, its path to completion wasn’t without controversy over who should be footing its $862.9 million bill.
The sports-and-entertainment complex that’s home to the Red Wings and Pistons was built was a mix of private and taxpayer funding.
About 62 percent, or nearly $539 million of the project, is from private financing and the rest — $324 million overall — is government financed.
The facility was mostly funded through the Ilitch family of the Little Caesars Pizza chain and included taxpayer-backed construction bonds.
The Ilitch family, which owns the Red Wings and Olympia Development, quietly spent nearly $50 million buying up properties from dozens of private owners over 15 years to acquire what it needed for the arena, according to public records.
They spent millions more on dozens of properties in the District Detroit, a 50-block entertainment district designed to surround the arena complex.
The addition of the Pistons at the arena called for another $34.5 million earlier this year to help the basketball team move from the Palace of Auburn Hills.
The taxpayer-backed funding for the deal sparked controversy and legal action.
After Detroit’s City Council approved the additional funding in June, community activist Robert Davis and Detroit resident D. Etta Wilcoxon filed a lawsuit to block taxpayer aid for the basketball and hockey arena. The pair wanted the matter placed before voters in November.
The two argued the tax revenues are intended for public school students and Wayne County parks.
In July, a federal judge ruled the plaintiff’s lacked standing to challenge the tax increment financing plan.
The Michigan Strategic Fund, an arm of the public-private Michigan Economic Development Corp., granted $250 million in tax-exempt bonds in 2014 for the construction of the arena.
The Detroit Downtown Development Authority used $284.5 million in school property taxes captured from within its downtown district to support part of the bonds.
In May, the strategic fund board approved the DDA’s request to issue up to another $36 million in tax-exempt increment revenue bonds to fund construction improvements and related costs to account for the basketball team.
It also set a ceiling of $310 million for the issuance of bonds, saying the DDA will need more prior to Jan. 1, 2019, to refinance outstanding debt from the 2014 bonds.
The Ilitch family will privately finance the rest of the project, which will include restaurants, shops and housing.

Most people don’t realize the significance of yearly dental checkups. In fact, a high percentage of people experience loose teeth, bleeding gums, and cavities. But when it comes to toothaches hickory nc dentists warn, it becomes critical to see a professional because it could be a lot more serious than you think.
Pain in the bones and back, fractures, bleeding, increased infections and respiratory distress are all caused by a disease called Multiple Myeloma. It’s the second most common blood cancer in the world and affects the bone marrow and interferes with the production of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. The cause of MM is unknown, but studies have shown certain risk factors to play a role.
Dental care providers may be the first to come across un-diagnosed cases of MM from incidental findings. Researchers say that 14 percent of patients have oral lesions, as the first sign of the disease. For example, jaws can be affected, and patients may have pain, swelling, pus-filled formations, or sudden tooth/ teeth movement. Lesions are more common in the lower jaw than in the upper and have a higher prevalence in the back regions of the jaw.
More than 5,000 cases are diagnosed worldwide, and early treatment helps control the disease. Treatment is usually based on age and fitness. In general, the treatment is less intensive for the older generation (65+ years), and more intensive for younger adults. Doctors call Multiple Myeloma a relapsing-remitting cancer, but there have been advances in treatment options with the development of newer medications and different approaches. Regular monitoring every 3 to 4 months is recommended.
Multiple myeloma may not cause any symptoms in the early stage, but as the disease progresses, the first symptom is usually a persistent bone pain that responds to the presence of many malignant cells in the bone marrow. This pain can start in the back and in the ribs. If the disease has spread, the pain may spread to the bones of the pelvis, neck and skull and, less frequently, to the legs and forearms.
As malignant plasma cells are replacing the normal elements that make up the blood in the marrow, fatigue and anemia may appear. The marrow also produces less platelets. As a result, patients with multiple myeloma often bleed easily from the nose and gums, and rapid bruising is very common.
Chemotherapy (use of drugs to kill cancer cells).
Radiotherapy (using X – rays of high energy or other high – energy rays to kill cancer cells).
Biological therapy (use of the body’s immune system to fight cancer).

In conversation with Denise a co-founder of HerStories—a speaker series and story-sharing platform that’s all about helping people find empowerment through embracing vulnerability, expression and the stories of their lives. HerStories hosted a Powerful Mother’s Day event, In Service To Our Mothers at Airship37 event space Toronto.
What was the original seed of inspiration behind HerStories Speak?
The original seed of inspiration for HerStories was the apparent disconnection many of us face today—a disconnection to others but also, to ourselves. In a culture of perfectly manicured self- branding on social media, we’ve forgotten how to embrace who we truly are—imperfections, vulnerabilities, flaws and all… the beautiful things that make us human. As a response, we decided to create a space for people to celebrate all of themselves, and find empowerment and connection along the way.
How did you choose the speakers for this event and why do you think they fit together so well?
We always choose speakers whom we look up to and know will be excellent storytellers. As an actress who’s been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years, Natalie Brown is a natural storyteller and told stories of her mother with such humor and heart. Jen McNeely, the Founder and EIC of Shedoesthecity, shared honestly and powerfully about her experience as a mother and how she holds it all together. And Blake Fly, who is one of the most charismatic professional speakers I’ve seen, paid such a beautiful tribute to his mother and spoke about how she’s shaped him into the man he is today. I told a story about breaking 30 years of tension with my mother and how we found our way back to love. Each of us came from such different backgrounds and perspectives, it turned out to be the perfect kaleidoscope of a line-up!
What was your first event and how has your series evolved?
We launched in January 2017 with HerStories: Step Into Your Power. It was a true manifestation of our vision—that being a space where people could just be raw, honest and real while sharing some of their most vulnerable stories. So much empowerment came from that, it was profoundly moving to see. Our Mother’s Day event, In Service To Our Mothers, took a spin on our stories to include those of our mothers, and was equally (if not more) powerful especially for those who had their mothers in the audience. Our September event will be called The Realities We Create, which will be an acknowledgment to the power we each have—no matter how dark of a place we may be in—to transform our lives. And we’ll be finishing the year with Love & Let Go where we will be tackling love and forgiveness, and letting go of the stories that no longer serve us… It’ll be a great way to end the year as we look forward to a fresh new one.
You have a very unique and innovative structure to your live events that involves speakers, activities and audience engagement. What have been some of the positive outcomes of having this structure?
The first thing that comes to mind is that, at the end of every event, the room is always filled with so much love, beaming faces and everyone connecting with each other. At HerStories, it’s important to us that everyone has a voice. The speaker line-up stands as inspiration to the audience who then engages in activities specifically designed to help them connect more deeply with themselves and then are given the stage to share whatever insights, stories, lessons or learnings they’ve found. We want people to feel and be seen—which can be vulnerable, takes courage, but is so inspiring. There’s something about recognizing ourselves in another that is just so powerful and allows us to understand that we truly do have so many more commonalities than differences.
What are some of the ways you hope to see your project evolve and grow?
I’d like to see HerStories reach a wider audience and yet still remain intimate. We’ll be starting a podcast soon where we’ll continue to showcase personal stories of struggle and strength, but with an interactive twist. Stay tuned and you’ll be the first to know how you can get involved! At the end of the day, HerStories is a spiritual series that deals with basic humanistic concepts like love, gratitude, forgiveness, pain, suffering, connection and joy. We exist to inspire, uplift and celebrate life in its entirety—vulnerabilities and all—and would like to reach as many people as possible with this mission!
Where do you go for inspiration in your daily life and how do you build on this inspiration?
My inspiration is always stories… other people’s stories or my own, real or fictional. I think there is a universal truth to everyone’s story and that if you pay enough attention, there is always something to be gained—a lesson to be learned, something that has the ability to shift you from deep within that’ll lead you to a more loving, connected and inspired life.
What is one thing that you think the modern day entrepreneur needs to have or cultivate?
This actually goes for everyone, but I think particularly important for creators of all kinds—know who you are and why you’re here, and cultivate a practice of connecting to that daily. As an empowerment coach, I work with clients every day to help them discover themselves, their gifts and how to best align them with their purpose. Having clarity on this is always Step 1.
How did the location of Airship37 work for this event?
The location was perfect! We love Airship so much… from the silver chairs to the retro lounge to the built-in coat check and the outdoor patio. We had an hor d’oeuvres reception in the lounge, the show in the main space and lots of mingling on the patio in the gorgeous weather. Thanks so much for having us!

There’s been no easing into the New Year. It’s been like the gym in January around here! We’ve been under an incredible amount of pressure to complete a variety of projects at The Toast and our team has been hard at work to ensure we don’t disappoint.
This does mean that we don’t have capacity right now to take on additional unscheduled project work with fast turn-a-round times. We have to make sure our contract clients and scheduled work are first in line.
As we speed towards our 5th birthday on 1 April 2016, we count our blessings every day and are truly grateful to our clients for keeping us so busy. Keep the jobs flowing, but in the shortest month of the year try to remember that good work and fast work seldom go together. Just think about fast food. We need time to do our best work.
My daughter asked me recently what month of the year do you sleep 28 days. The answer is every month. In honour of the shortest month, I’m keeping my column to the shortest ever and I’m going to take the advice I get given every day to breathe and relax a little before taking on the rest of the day.

Singin’ in the Rain isn’t just an upbeat musical from 1952. It’s also a history lesson about Hollywood in the late 1920s, when silent pictures were giving way to talkies. And, of course, it’s also a valuable tutorial on how to be an awesome dancer (i.e. be Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor). It is many things! Here are some facts about Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen's classic musical to enhance your next viewing.
1. It wasn't adapted from a Broadway musical.
Many movie musicals of the 1930s, '40s and '50s were based on stage shows, but this wasn’t one of them. Rather, it was a new script, written just for the movie, featuring old songs written for previous movies. Some 30 years later, after the film had become a beloved classic, it was reverse-engineered into a stage musical, premiering in London’s West End in 1983 and subsequently appearing (with revisions and more songs) on Broadway.
2. It was conceived by producer Arthur Freed as a means of showcasing songs he had written, but it wasn't (just) an ego trip.
Freed was a successful lyricist in the 1920s and '30s, collaborating with composer Nacio Herb Brown on dozens of songs for MGM musicals. In 1939, after essentially serving as an uncredited producer on The Wizard of Oz, Freed was given his own unit at MGM, where he oversaw the production of about 45 big-screen musicals (some originals, some Broadway adaptations) over the next 23 years, making MGM synonymous with the genre. The term “jukebox musical” didn’t exist yet, but there were a few films in that era that fit the description, using old sets of songs with nothing in common but their authors as the framework for new stories. Warner Bros.’s Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) and MGM’s own Till the Clouds Roll By (1946) had done it with the songs of George M. Cohan and Jerome Kern, respectively.
In 1951, as Freed was shepherding the George and Ira Gershwin-based An American in Paris into existence, he thought of doing the same thing for the songs he’d written with Brown. Many of those ditties were big hits, and Freed had certainly earned the clout at MGM to advance what might have otherwise been seen as a vanity project. The studio head in the movie, R.F. Simpson, is based on him.
3. The one "original" song written specifically for the movie is actually a rip-off.
The similarities were overwhelming and undeniable. (Compare for yourself: here’s “Be a Clown”; here’s “Make ‘em Laugh.”) But Freed, you’ll recall, was the producer of Singin’ in the Rain. One doesn’t really tell one’s boss, “Uh, sir, I think you might have stolen this,” so the song stayed. The story goes that Cole Porter didn’t mind (or didn’t sue, anyway) because he was grateful to Freed for all the career support he’d given him. “Moses Supposes” was newly written for the film too, with music by Roger Edens and lyrics by the screenwriters. But it’s not a complete song, lyrically speaking, so usually isn’t counted.
4. Debbie Reynolds had no dance experience before she made the movie.
5. Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor had never worked together before.
O’Connor, born into a vaudeville family in 1925, had been onstage since infancy and in movies since he was 12. He had 36 film credits, mostly musicals and Francis the Talking Mule pictures, under his belt when he got the Singin’ in the Rain gig. Kelly was 13 years older and came to Hollywood a bit later than O’Connor, yet still racked up 18 films between 1942 and 1951, when at last their paths crossed. And they almost didn’t: Freed, the producer, wanted Kelly’s An American in Paris co-star Oscar Levant for the Cosmo role, but everyone else—screenwriters Betty Comden and Adolph Green, directors Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen—wanted someone who could dance.
6. Gene Kelly choreographed his dance scenes with Cyd Charisse in a way that hid the fact that she was taller than him.
Or she was when she wore heels, anyway, as she does in the film. To keep the height difference from being obvious, Kelly arranged the routine so that they were never both standing upright when they were next to each other, always bending toward (or away from) one another instead.
7. Yes, Kelly had a fever when he filmed the "Singin' in the Rain" number.
Contrary to legend, it wasn’t shot all in one take—or even all in one day. It lasted a couple of days, and on at least one of them, Kelly was sick with a fever of anywhere from 101 to 103 degrees, depending on who’s telling the story.
8. Costume designer Walter Plunkett said this was the most work he had ever done for a film—and he had worked on Gone With the Wind!
Both films were period pieces, but Singin’ in the Rain required a greater number of elaborate, ornately detailed costumes than Gone With the Wind did. They had to be more accurate, too, since 1952 audiences remembered Hollywood of the late ‘20s more clearly than 1939 audiences remembered the Civil War. All told, Plunkett designed about 500 costumes for the film.
9. The last shot of the "Good Morning" number took 40 takes.
It’s the part where the three of them somersault over one couch and then tip another one over backwards before collapsing on it and laughing. Kelly was a demanding choreographer and director, and you’ll notice that most of the dancing in the film is presented without a lot of editing. The camera moves around, but it doesn’t cut to other angles very often, and the dancers’s bodies are usually wholly visible. So when there are, say, three dancers who are supposed to be in unison, and one part of one person’s body does the wrong thing, you’ve got to do it again. The whole shoot was difficult for that reason, and this number was particularly challenging. Reynolds said that at the end of a 14-hour day shooting the scene, her feet were bleeding.
10. The 10-minute "Broadway Melody" dance number near the end of the film was a late addition.
Freed was encouraged by how well a similar sequence in An American in Paris had turned out, so he suggested that Kelly and Donen conceive one for Singin’ in the Rain, too—after most of the rest of the film had been shot. That’s why Donald O’Connor isn’t in this part: he was under contract with Universal and had to go make another Francis the Talking Mule movie.
11. Cyd Charisse owed her role in the film to Debbie Reynolds's lack of experience.
12. There may have been some censorship in the ballet number.
Watch as Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse are dancing at the 1:22:03 mark in the film, and you’ll see a jump cut. The camera doesn’t move, but something’s clearly been snipped. The unconfirmed but probably true explanation is that censors deemed a portion of the dance too suggestive. (They’d warned Kelly beforehand not to choreograph Charisse wrapping her legs around his waist, even though real ballet dancers do that all the time.) The footage was removed, and the music was re-scored to match the new cut. Whatever was taken out is presumably lost forever, as the entire Singin’ in the Rain negative was destroyed in a fire.
13. Donald O'Connor really should have died filming "Make 'em Laugh."
And not just because you could legitimately break your neck doing those run-up-the-wall flips (although that, too). The physical exertion required for the scene would have been demanding for anyone ... and O’Connor, by his own admission, was smoking four packs of cigarettes a day. And after the entire sequence had been shot? He had to do it all over again, because a technical error made the footage unusable.
14. The first time we see Cyd Charisse, she's smoking a cigarette. It's the only cigarette she ever smoked in her life.
Kelly and Donen thought the character, the seductive girlfriend of a gangster, ought to be smoking. Charisse, who had never smoked before (making her a rare bird in 1951 Hollywood), told them she didn’t know how—so they stopped shooting long enough to teach her. Evidently failing to see the pleasure in it, she never smoked again.
15. The film was a bit of a letdown after An American in Paris.
An American in Paris—also starring Gene Kelly; also built around a particular songwriter’s work; also featuring a large-scale dream ballet sequence—was released in November of 1951. It was a hit, eventually winning six Oscars, including Best Picture. Three weeks after the Oscar ceremony, Singin’ in the Rain came out. It did well enough with audiences and critics, but it got very little awards attention, and it wasn’t perceived as being nearly as successful as its predecessor. Over time, public sentiment changed. An American in Paris is still highly regarded today, but it’s Singin’ in the Rain that shows up on the “best” and “favorite” lists.

This past month has been a time for experimenting with different art supplies. I wanted to share what I’ve acquired so far, since I’ve been having so much fun playing these new things. Tim Holtz stains are my favorites so far. The wash of color adds character to my otherwise stark white pages and really makes my bold black ink pop. And I’ve really gotten into stamping and decided to spend the money on the quality and elegance of Cavallini and Co products, which I very much enjoy. To use those stamps, I like the VersaMagic Chalk Inks, which don’t cause any bleeding or too much shadowing through Midori insert paper; the 013 insert takes these chalk inks very well.
I also mention a blog SaltnPaperica I’ve recently been enjoying, by Erica Choy. It’s nice to seek inspiration from other journalers. She’s got a great tutorial on making your own vintage collage stickers. And finally, Pomp and Posey that I’ve come across in my search for Par Avion stickers, which seem so popular that they are hard to come by. This shop has them and some other great products (like the much coveted Midori Traveler’s Notebook Pan Am writing boards!) They do priority shipping, so everything came well packaged and quickly, though there was a slight order mix up. I emailed offering to return the mistakenly sent Par Avion postcards for what I did order – the stickers – and the shop owner replied back right away with a resolution and I was able to keep the postcards, so that was really nice of them. The customer service was quick, friendly and just all-around great.
Let me know what sort of new craft or art supplies you’ve picked up lately. I’m really getting into art journaling, partly because with Spring coming along, I feel a change is needed to spiff up my journal pages.

Weddings are events of celebration and happiness. You surround yourself with the people you love to mark the start of a new chapter in your life – and it’s a party!
Wendy and Jon completely nailed it! When I took these pictures, they had actually already gotten married. In Aruba. Doesn’t that sound perfect? After a beautiful time with their closest family and friends, they came back up to Boston to continue celebrating. That’s where we came in to document all of it!
Over 300 people, all family and friends, gathered at the Kowloon restaurant in Saugus. The venue is almost entirely red, with amazing light fixtures and an open layout. It’s very visually appealing and makes for great shots. Photographing this event was so much fun. Not only were Wendy and Jon fantastic hosts who made sure to interact with everyone – they also know how to throw a party.
There was lots of laughter, dancing and beer. And so much food!

The general public is usually supplied by books on mathematical scientists written by "science communicators" and other outside observers--the worst by far being the academic historians of science. Their books are like reviews of comparative squid ink recipes written by anorexics, or descriptions of the Loire Valley by visually impaired travel writers. They are well written, which masks the BS. The descriptions focus on "interesting" traits of the personalities; scientists are discussed as if they were partaking of spectator sports. This fellow "was the best...", this fellow "was the first to...", "Einstein made a big blunder", etc.
This book is not for you if your are annoyed by that wonderfully egocentric Stephan Wolfram! HIs book is full of fascinating insights about how science evolves from the point of view of one of todays most hard-working and creative scientists and innovators. Serious historians of science will be interested in Wolfram's first-hand observations of major mathematical physicists, and needing to challenge to their preconceived interpretation of the history of science. However, they will need to add their own citations to use it for further academic work. This is a great book to put into the car so that you can have an amusing and stimulating read while waiting for your spouse to complete a shopping errand. If this is your purpose, then the chapters are each of the perfect length. Go ahead, buy it! It is cheap, thoughtful, and terrific fun. It is also an inexpensive and an effective therapy for those of us whom are endowed--rightly or wrongly--with a massive ego!
This book was a wonderful read. I was specially looking forward to Wolfram's stories about Feynman, S.W having known him in a personal capacity. However, the story about Feynman was the same as the one he posted on his online notes that I read a while ago - so I was reasonably disappointed...but with every other chapter I got the satisfaction of reading equally engrossing new stories of people Wolfram had the good fortune of knowing. The one's he happened not to share the same time period as - Liebniz, Ramanujan etc - had chapters written about them that were surprisingly intimate and very original considering these figures have had one biography after another written about them.
Stephen Wolfram - Stephen Wolfram has had a unique trajectory in science, technology and business. Widely known for his discoveries in basic science and his groundbreaking 2002 book A New Kind of Science, he has spent three decades building what is now the Wolfram Language: the knowledge-based computer language that powers Mathematica and Wolfram|Alpha and has contributed to countless inventions and discoveries, as well as to the education of several generations of students. Wolfram was born in London and educated at Eton, Oxford and Caltech, earning his PhD in physics in 1979 at the age of 20. After a brief but distinguished academic career, he founded Wolfram Research in 1987 and as CEO has built it into one of the world's most respected and innovative software companies, whose products are relied on by millions of people around the world.

Spent the morning on Parliament Hill for the services. I have to admit, having lived in both countries there's something about the tone to Remembrance Day compared to Veteran's Day. ... same intent, slightly different execution. For example, the politicians generally shut the hell up, lay their wreaths, and leave the day to the veterans. Also the prevalence of poppies beforehand, on literally every human walking the streets ... seriously. From the elderly to street punks. We should have the poppies in the States. I know some people do it, but it's rare. As a symbol it's more ... human.
In any event, please take a moment today.
And yeah, and the flyover got me crying. Missing man formation gets me every time.
I find those words to be a moving tribute, and expressive of the grief and loss I feel as one who remains while so many worthies are lost. Maybe more so for the anonymous authorship.
Yes sir, it get me too. And then, to top it off, Stuart McLean had a rerun of a fantastic Remembrance Day show on the 'Vinyl Cafe' that get me crying too.
I have to say, Rogers, the ceremony was extremely touching this year - just one more reason I love living in Ottawa.
Someone was killed a long time ago.
Those were the names of friends of mine.
The statues are old now, and they're fadin' fast.
Something big must have happened 'way in the past.
But the faces are always young to me.
And friends ain't supposed to die in pain.
And livin' shouldn't make you feel ashamed.
Can't believe how young we were back then.
One thing's for sure, we'll never be that young again.
And most of us never got old.
i never felt any pull from the whole patriotism thing, i was not fighting pro patria or any other high minded stuff.
i was fighting for the guys right there around me. i suspect that it is that way back through the ranks of infantry back to the phalanx. politicians can talk of higher moral reasons for fighting but in the line of battle we fought for each other.
sometimes because they owed us money from the last poker game, but still, for each other.
Nick, those lyrics are great, but Gorka's adaptation of them to music makes me want to put him in a headlock. It sounds too much like a college coffee shop arrangement, much to my frustration.
I agree with Adam. Garrison Keillor made the same sort of comment on Sunday's Prairie Home Companion; we can recognize the sacrifices made by vets without pledging more young lives to be cannon fodder. It was an interesting contrast with the preceding news/commentary coverage of Veteran's Day, which seemed to focus on Vietnam vets and their families who had been ostracized in the seventies. One vet at the memorial in DC talked about having had red paint thrown on him--suspiciously close to the spitting myth.
Found on a improvised marker on the Island of Guadacanal.
Who has served his time in Hell."
Say "Just lucky he came through."
As no one else could do.
"I have to admit, having lived in both countries there's something about the tone to Remembrance Day compared to Veteran's Day"
I usually love poetry but if we are quoting, I have to introduce Yosarian's speach to his Italian whore... ok, I won't reprint Catch 22, everyone has referenced very eloquent commentary already. David Wilcox has a very good rendition of "Let them in, Peter." I'll just go and sit in a tree and think of the life sacrificed.
We used to have poppies in the States. They were sold on streetcorners by disabled veterans.
The custom fell away in the Sixties, I don't know why.
Probably fallout from the Vietnam War.
And wouldn't you know it but the spammers drew me back to this entry and the one over at the Woodshed re: Stuart McLean and The Vinyl Cafe. Kevin's still right seven years later about that show. The Dave and Morley Stories, half the time, they will leave you tearing up.
That man is the most ruthless storyteller I've ever had the privilege to hear performing. That is not an insult. Others are as ruthless in their ways, but none are more so.
If you get the chance to see and hear him performing live? You take it. Don't argue. Just take that chance. You will likely end the session in tears, laughter or both.
You will not regret that. Ever.
Whatever you're doing right now, John, do it as well as you can and stay as well as you can while you're doing it.
Best of the Season to you, whatever Name you honour it by.

A national chain of hardware stores stores the drawings of its individual outlets along with contracts, correspondence and photographs of displays in a database hosted by Trix Systems.
The chain comprises very many relatively small outlets, both owned and franchised, often in remote rural locations. Until the Trix Systems database was implemented it was was very difficult for head office to locate and keep track of documentation for the individual outlets. Now, using their Web Browsers, local area managers can reference existing drawings, pictures and contracts, redline them and upload new or revised versions.
The new versions are immediately available for management at the head office who refer to them to assist with floor planning and other design changes.

Good news and a $1,000 matching gift from Key Ingredient!
Well, Austin Bakes has hit the big time! As I’m writing this, I’m preparing to go on Fox 7 News to promote the bake sale with Kate Payne, a local author who is baking for Bastrop at our South Congress location.
That’s not the only good news: Yesterday we received press in the Austin American Statesman, and the bake sale has been covered on over a dozen local blogs and media sources. We are over 100 bakers and volunteers strong for Saturday, and counting. It doesn’t get any better than that, right?
Starting today, Key Ingredient will match the first $1,000 in contributions on our online giving page. Together, we could raise $2,000 for the Central Texas Wildfire Fund before the bake sale even begins.
If you will not be able to attend the bake sale on Saturday, would you please consider making a gift to the Central Texas Wildfire Fund online today? Your dollars will do twice as much good in Bastrop and other parts of Central Texas devastated by wildfire.
If you don’t carry cash but want to shop at the sale, please consider making a gift online today. When you show us your gift receipt at the sale on Saturday, we’ll help you shop for the baked goods of your dreams! And your purchase will be twice as nice thanks to Key Ingredient’s matching contribution.
I’m sure you get the point: we have a tremendous opportunity to start our bake sale $2,000 ahead. Please make a gift online today so that we can take advantage of every available dollar of Key Ingredient‘s matching challenge.
One last bit of good news: Key Ingredient is an Austin-based startup company that loves home cooks. Their mission is to help home bakers and food bloggers preserve and share the recipes they love on the Internet. As a thank you to the 100+ amateur cooks who are baking for Bastrop, Key Ingredient will be giving away a Demy Digital Recipe Reader to one us on Sunday, October 2nd. We will select a winner at random from our volunteer list and announce the lucky winner here on the Austin Bakes Blog. We are still in need of bakers and volunteers at all seven sale sites. If you’re interested in joining us, please send us an email so that we can get you signed up.
That’s all the good news I can squeeze into one post. Thank you all for your continuing support of Austin Bakes for Bastrop, and for helping us meet our fundraising goal with Key Ingredient. Together, we are going to do a lot of good this weekend!

Johannesburg – Home Affairs and immigration officials visited the offices of the embattled ANN7 channel on Thursday afternoon for a "routine inspection"
Staff members have told News24 how they “have never seen something like that before”.
Earlier this year, MultiChoice announced it would not be renewing its license with the channel, after it was bought by Mzwanele Manyi from the Gupta family’s company Oakbay.
Home Affairs spokesperson Thabo Mokgola said it was part of the department's mandate to undertake regular inspections.
"As part of its mandate, the inspectorate directorate of the department undertakes regular inspections on the basis of information provided to them, which information would demand a thorough investigation including in loco inspections," he said.
"In this regard, our officials visited ANN7 Studios to verify information related to visas of certain individuals employed by the organisation," Mokgola said.
One employee at ANN7 told News24 immigration officers came for staff members recruited from India.
"The office was filled with immigration officers. I have never seen something like that before. The employees that were recruited from India were taken into an office, and they looked nervous. We don't know what's happening," he said.
"I am not sure how many staff members we have from India but it's a lot," the employee said.
Another employee said he was about to leave when he saw immigration officers on the premises.
"I just saw some immigration officers inside a certain room where we host our guests. It was about four of them that I saw," he said.
Manyi did not immediately answer his phone for comment.

I recently got the opportunity to try out HOOQ’s streaming services through a 30-day trial period thanks to their sponsorship of Cebu Blogging Community’s first anniversary celebration! HOOQ markets itself as a gateway to a world of unlimited entertainment. With just one app, you can stream, download and enjoy thousands of movies and TV series all from your phone, laptop or tablet.
I was pleased to see some of my favorite superhero movies and was amused with nostalgia a considerable list of local Filipino Movies and TV series!
HOOQ is definitely a must for those who are glued to one's mobile device 24/7. Aside from being able to download up to 5 movies or episodes offline, they also offer this feature where you can basically pick-up where you left off if your online viewing was suddenly cut short due to some circumstances. COOL!
Hooq Philippines is Asia’s brave answer to the growing demand for online video streaming service with more than 10,000 titles of foreign and local movies and TV shows in its repository. Hooq, in partnership with Globe Telecom, is an esteemed brainchild that sprouted from the startup partnership between Singtel, Warner Bros. Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television.
Details are all in https://www.hooq.tv/ph/ and try it for yourself, Happy Watching!
If streaming, it is highly dependent on your internet, so if you are on the move or travelling/commuting, chances are when the speed slows or signal is weak, it's gonna lag and pixelate the whole scene.
To be honest the movie library is fairly limited. Perhaps it's due to the free trial? Maybe the premium service one will have additional choices.
My entire viewing experience with Hooq was generally smooth as I watched/streamed two movies and downloaded one.

I wrote this for a recent Prayer Circle for Animals Weekly Update.
This internet world, techie though it may be, is linking us together in ways few could have imagined 100 years ago. With it, the power of our prayers has grown exponentially along with the realization that millions of us are praying together for a world of peace for all beings. Recently, I met a wonderful new e-friend when she ordered some of the animal prayer flags. Her name is Erica Settino, and I want to share what she is up to, because I know you will love it. Her group is called Karuna for Animals: Compassion in Action. “Karuna,” of course is the Sanskrit word for compassion. They are an all volunteer yoga based group “whose members seek to promote compassion (karuna), peace (shanti), and loving-kindness (metta) for animals of all species. It is our mission to raise awareness and funds for the rights of all animals. Through a dedicated practice of the science of yoga, community outreach, humane education, vegan cooking and nutrition education, and monthly fundraisers, we aim to cultivate the change we hope to see in the world.” The group also has a goal of creating an Animal Sharanam (Sanskrit for sanctuary) on Long Island.
Suresh Jindal is quoted on the website: “Once we experience and feel this inter-dependence of all living beings, we will cease to hurt, humiliate, exploit and kill another. We will want to free all sentient beings from suffering. This is karuna, compassion, which in turn gives rise to the responsibility to create happiness and its causes for all."
Please visit Erica’s website when you get a chance. Not only is it lovely, inspiring, and informative, but it lets us know—there are so many of us holding the vision, doing the work, praying the prayers. So this week, let us hold in our hearts a special prayer for all those out there, many whom we have not yet met, who are faithfully praying for the animals. May the compassion and loving-kindness being endlessly sent out by all of them and by us radiate into every heart on earth.

That is my #1 concern while I am away, and I’m sure that’s the case for most other pet-house owners. If I can not take my canine with me, Iwant to really feel assured that she’s in good hands and minimize or, if potential, remove her stress while I’m off enjoying myself. Your animal will BY NO MEANS be positioned by means of an X-ray machine. Nonetheless, it’s possible you’ll be asked to remove your animal from its carrier in order that the carrier could be placed on the X-Ray machine.
A $50 per day service fee can be applied for storing personal objects or altering current gadgets within the mini bar. Refrigerators for private use can be found for a daily fee. I hope you can see this useful when preparing in your journey to Brazil or South America on the whole. I welcome any questions or feedback! I like your hub Edweirdo, this is a very good source for all vacationers out there!
Here’s a gown ladies wish to convey once they travel. Those that have introduced this dress in their journey have testified to its wearability while you arrive. It packed effectively and it is smart for work, casual and with its empire waist fairly dressy and straightforward to accessorise when going out in the night. It is also very snug. Have the invoice charged to your credit card. That is an another choice with some companies. Simply keep in mind, it’s important to deal with paying bank card payments whilst you’re away, too, in case they will be due. However a minimum of this methodology can help consolidate.
This shouldn’t be a lot stress on you so long as you do not act like a jerk. Sure, you might be on vacation. Sure, it value you a lot of money to be here. Sure, you can have gone anyplace else on the planet. Thank you Molly. That photo is one among my favorites additionally. This nook of France is filled with history and wonderful sites. If you happen to’ve by no means been add it to your record. Paris isn’t too bad both 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and have an amazing day.

The most successful family businesses I work with have strong, healthy relationships as a foundation of their family.
One of the fundamental skills we coach to maintain healthy relationships is the ability to show genuine appreciation for others even in the face of disagreement and turmoil.
Many clients tell me they are reluctant to say something nice about someone they’re angry with because they think they will be acting insincere or phony.
I believe you can be legitimately angry or disappointed and still be able to hold genuine appreciation. Showing appreciation is like “making a deposit“ in your relationship account with someone. Building positive energy in a relationship gives you more room to work on tough issues when they arise.
Practice this skill this weekend! Are you ready? You can do this!
Do this with as many people as you can in your family. The stretch goal is to do it with the person you have either the weakest relationship or a strained relationship.
Some clients tell me, “I would if I could think of one coach!” And when I push and challenge them. they always come up with something they appreciate and I’m often surprised how touching it is when they do.
So rack your brain – and come up with one.
Being able to observe and articulate redeeming qualities of someone is a skill in and of itself. The sooner you build that muscle the sooner you’ll have healthy strong relationships!
If you want free, full access to all of our deliberate practices, sign up here!

Historically, undefined insect media components such as yeastolate have made it challenging to achieve consistent results and protein yields across multiple experiments. These factors can significantly slow vaccine development at a time when manufacturers are under pressure to develop vaccines faster and more efficiently. Focused on removing barriers to vaccine development and production.
Thermo Fisher Scientific recently announced its Gibco ExpiSf system, the first-ever chemically defined insect protein expression system. The revolutionary ExpiSf system brings together the company’s Gibco media technology, Lipofectamine transfection technology, and molecular biology expertise to deliver three times more protein and consistent results. Unlike other systems, ExpiSf has been optimized for the generation of high-quality baculovirus using a suspension-based transfection protocol that delivers protein in half the time compared to traditional insect platforms. The superior performance enables customers to realize significant time savings without sacrificing quality and reproducibility across experiments.
-Greater than 300% higher protein yield: In performance tests against five competing insect media, the ExpiSf System demonstrated greater protein expression – delivering 3x more protein.
-Consistent results: Chemically defined, animal-origin free, yeastolate-free growth medium supports consistent cell growth and protein expression, run after run.
-One optimized system: Fully-integrated platform removes the need to optimize individual components, saving time and cost.
-Streamlined workflow: The ExpiSf system simplifies baculovirus production to deliver protein in half the time, 6-10 days, compared to 10-20 days via classical techniques.
-Scales from discovery to production: The scalability of ExpiSf system accelerates development by delivering equivalent cell growth and protein volumetric yield from small to large scale, making the system well-suited for both discovering new therapies and producing them in large quantities.
Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is the world leader in serving science, with revenues of more than $20 billion and approximately 70,000 employees globally. Our mission is to enable our customers to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer. We help our customers accelerate life sciences research, solve complex analytical challenges, improve patient diagnostics, deliver medicines to market and increase laboratory productivity.

Giorgetti’s close collaboration with Monte Carlo Yachts continues.
Taking place from 20 to 28 January 2018, Boot Düsseldorf, the world’s largest International Boat Show, is held in the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Giorgetti furnished the luxury yacht manufacturer’s more than 200 square metre lounge at the event. Pieces included the Open-air collection’s Apsara modular system and Gea tables and chairs, available for visitors to socialise in a more inclusive outdoor area, and indoor furniture, such as iconic Hug armchairs or Tilt chairs, together with nautical-inspired designs and the latest Adam sofa, presented the previous week at the IMM furnishings trade fair in Cologne. Giorgetti’s ability to create a unique ambience, the result of exclusive collections which design the area around the product, is perfectly suited to this context. Designing custom-made spaces is essential to confer character and a strong design footprint to the ambience.

The 201 7 season is described as ‘smart, fun & …controversial’, and also harks back to the best of 80’s theatre.
Away will be a revisit for some, a popular HSC text, so those seeing it can bring to life those school studies in an engaging manner. Gow’s text allows for a myriad of interpretations, so this one is should be a delight.
Likewise, Popular Mechanicals was a laugh a minute for those who love some Shakespearean slapstick. The original Belvoir production had one of the best farting scenes in Sydney theatre, and you’ve got to love a good fart joke. A great production for all the family.
Another gem is Caryl Churchill’s Cloud 9 with humour, sexuality and obscene language this play from the late seventies is sure to confront the contemporary audience as it explores colonialism .
Yes, smart, fun and controversial are the words to describe STC’s 2017 season.
