Missing teeth or teeth that are beyond saving can be replaced with natural-looking, fully functional new teeth that are permanently fixed in just one day.
Our doctors can place as few as four implants in your arch to support a full set of new teeth that are securely fixed-in and provide close to full, natural chewing power. Known as the New Teeth in One Day procedure, this cutting-edge treatment makes it possible for most patients to receive dental implants and fixed-in new teeth without the need for bone grafting. This includes patients with severe bone loss who were ineligible for implants in the past.
Your new teeth will be completely stable, will look and feel totally lifelike and will not slip or irritate your gums.
Dr. Lee and Dr. Schmidt are specially trained to deliver the New Teeth in One Day procedure.
Dr. Schmidt and Dr. Lee are both very experienced and skilled in dental implant placement, as well as the design and placing of top quality replacement teeth. Dr. Lee has earned a fellowship with the International Academy of Dental Implantology and Dr. Schmidt has earned a fellowship with the International Dental Implant Association. Both organizations are dedicated to delivering state-of-the-art training in implant dentistry.
Our doctors are also members of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. They use their advanced skills to create new teeth that are beautiful, look completely natural and fit perfectly.
1. The implants are angled and placed in a way that provides maximum stability and support for the new teeth.
2. The new teeth are securely screwed onto the implants, preventing any issues with shifting or slippage.
3. The replacement teeth are fixed in place and will look, feel and act just like natural teeth.
The breakthrough New Teeth in One Day procedure involves placing four to six specially designed implants in strategic positions on your arch where the bone is of the highest volume and density. The implant placement will provide the strongest support for your implants and teeth. This includes placing the rear implants at an angle to utilize the densest bone in the jaw.
This procedure eliminates the need for bone grafting in the vast majority of cases and includes people with severe bone loss who were not eligible for implants prior to the New Teeth in One Day technology. Since bone grafting is eliminated in most cases, getting permanently fixed-in teeth is faster, more efficient and more affordable than ever before.
After initial diagnosis and preparation appointments, the doctor will perform the entire procedure in the same day. This will include any needed extractions, placing all your implants and providing you with an immediate, functional and aesthetic set of fixed-in teeth. In a couple of months, when the implants have fully healed, the doctors will place the final new teeth. They will feel and function very much like real teeth and will have a beautiful, natural look.
Our New Teeth in One Day procedure requires meticulous planning and careful execution. Our advanced technology and attention to detail makes the entire process efficient, accurate and minimally invasive.
3D X-rays from the CT scanner are used to find the greatest density of jawbone for implants.
We take full digital X-rays and use our Cone Beam 3D CT scanner to capture 3D, 360-degree digital views of your teeth, jaw and surrounding anatomy. The doctors use these images to determine where the bone volume and density is sufficient to support your implants.
The doctor will explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions so you are completely informed about what to expect before, during and after the procedure.
3D implant planning software is used to precisely map out the entire procedure before beginning any treatment.
Our doctors transfer your CT scan images into special 3D implant planning software. They use this information to precisely map out the exact position, angle and depth of insertion for each implant.
To ensure complete accuracy, our doctors create a surgical guide that is positioned over the jawbone to aid in implant placement. The guide marks exactly where and at what angle each implant is to be placed. Use of a guide also removes the need for unnecessary cutting and suturing, making the procedure minimally invasive with the least amount of post-treatment discomfort.
Our doctors ensure your treatment is gentle and comfortable.
Our doctors use high-tech instrumentation and gentle procedures for extractions which cause little to no trauma or damage to the surrounding tissues. This makes the procedure efficient and essentially painless.
Our doctors prepare your treatment room in order to meet surgical sterility requirements. This is a far higher standard of practice than used in most dental offices. The doctors also make sure you are comfortable at all times. This includes injections that are virtually unnoticeable.
To help your implants heal quickly, our doctors centrifuge a small amount of your own blood to extract a plasma rich in growth factors (proteins). This plasma mixture is then applied to your treated tissues. In addition to speeding up healing, these growth factors prevent infection and reduce postoperative swelling.
Our doctors use a special electronic measuring device to determine implant stability. When the readings show that your implants are fully stable, the doctors will provide you with your final new teeth. This helps ensure long-term success of the implants.
You will receive high-quality new teeth on the same day.
You will receive your new temporary teeth on the same day. These are high-grade, custom acrylic, fixed-in dentures that are immediately functional. Once the implants have fully healed, your final teeth are placed.
Our doctors work with a master lab technician to ensure that your new dentures have the correct fit and optimum aesthetics. The lab tech uses acrylic that has been processed under extreme pressure, so your final teeth will be very sturdy and will hold up longer than average.
Your final new teeth will have the look and feel of natural teeth and will provide close to full natural chewing power. Unlike traditional dentures, fixed-in dentures have no false palate on the upper teeth to inhibit your sense of taste and make it harder to enjoy food. Eating will be very easy and pleasurable. After the new teeth are placed, you will smile again with confidence!

Just about everyone loves to head out on the water in the summer months. The breeze is fantastic, and it's a great time to spend an afternoon with your family and friends. Perhaps you like to go out on your own and go fishing or prefer to take a tour in the evening to go dolphin watching. Whatever it is you like to do when boating, this is the season to enjoy it.

Understanding your rights under the law is important any time you find yourself interacting with law enforcement. While police may not overtly violate your rights, they often attempt to convince you to waive them. This can make the process of working with law enforcement during a traffic stop difficult. While you don't want to seem contentious or combative, you also don't want to waive your rights or get yourself into unnecessary trouble.

New look: This young man enjoyed the fun day, and made the most of the face paint.
Chat: Cobram SES volunteer Carrie Hawke, Nationals Member for Ovens Valley Tim McCurdy and Cobram unit controller John Stava.
Slide time: There were plenty of bumps, tumbles and plenty of thrills.
Volunteers: Cobram Fire Brigade volunteers Fred White, Megan Klippel, Captain Koala, Adrian Hilder and Allan Warfe.
Not even bad weather could dampen the spirits of those attending the annual Ritchies IGA Fun Day on October 20 in the supermarket’s car park.
Crowds came to support Cobram SES and Cobram Fire Brigade emergency workers.
There were jumping castles, vintage cars and plenty of recognisable dress-up characters, but not everything went according to plan.
IGA store manager Mandy Hawke could only laugh at the weather but said everybody made the best of a tricky situation.
‘‘The day was great except for the weather. By 7am we’d set up three marquees but we lost two over the fence, which we couldn’t get back. Usually we get sunburnt but this year we had rain, we had everything,’’ she said.

After a week of meeting with clients, chores, a bit of design work, some writing and socializing, we have escaped from Palma. Heading east around the island we are hailed on VHF by old friends on the yacht to the right above. Conference, check the chart, reverse course, and here we are. This 27-year-old design has been afloat for 24 years, is on her fifth set of custodians, and about to complete a third circuit of the globe. Any idea of her provenance? We’ll have more in a few days.
Last night we had a gibbous moon hanging low in the west, colored by the Sahara dust. With Venus close by it made for a spectacular sight, but tough to shoot from a moving deck.
The hard part about sharing an anchorage with old friends is getting up early enough to catch the sunrise after a long visit. But when fire and brimstone lighting filters into the cabin it is impossible to ignore.
Moving 20 miles from Palma changes the scale of things. Sunday morning and the race is on. Instead of mega yachts it is the 30 footers.
Here’s a crosscut, something we are familiar with from a long time ago (we had our first crosscut kite with a radial head circa 1958).
Meanwhile, back in the anchorage the bystanders are keeping track of the action.
At the other end of the scale, 47 meters (150 feet) going 4.7 knots on a reach – AIS does not lie.
And 80 feet fetching at seven knots.
All of us are traversing a lovely coastline, enjoying a refreshingly soft, and cool breeze. And sleeping under a blanket for the first time in many months we might add.
There are, of course, a large contingent of fizzboats. But at least today, on this part of the coast, the sailors are doing their part to balance the census.
We’ve learned to arrive late at a new anchorage as the locals tend to head home an hour before sunset. Anchor drill is always good for afternoon entertainment.
Anchor dog is making sure Mom winches home the pick in proper fashion.
The last boat blasts out of the anchorage, close of course to our friends. That leaves three cruising yachts, and two locals, down from 30 an hour before.

The Moon and Venus did make a beautiful pair the other night, but it was actually a crescent (less than half visible), not a gibbous (more than half visible) Moon. And a waxing (between new and full) crescent, at that. Nice shot, anyway!

The polling User Control examined in the first two installments (Design Decisions and the Data Model and Building the Polling User Control) is functionally complete at this point. A page developer can add, edit, or delete new polls and poll answers by manually inserting, updating, or deleting records into or from the corresponding database tables; they can view a poll's results by running a query against the UserResponses table.
Having to work directly with the database in terms of SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries can be a pain, of course, especially for commonly performed techniques. A more palatable option is to provide a web-based interface for these common tasks. The download available at the end of each installment of this article series includes, in addition to the polling User Control, a set of administration web pages that make it easy to create, edit, and delete polls and poll questions and to view the results of any poll in the system.
In this third and final installment we'll examine these three administration pages' functionality, declarative markup, and code. Read on to learn more!
Feel free to change these authorization rules to only allow a particular set of users or to limit access to a specific role (or set of roles). For more information on specifying URL authorization through Web.config, see: ASP.NET Authorization and Role-Based Authorization with Forms Authentication.
Default.aspx - lists all of the existing polls and enables the administrator to edit the poll, delete it, or view its results. The administrator can also add a new poll from here.
EditPoll.aspx - lists the details for a particular poll, including the poll question ("What is your favorite programming language?") and the poll's answers ("Visual Basic", "C#", "Pascal", and so forth). Existing poll answers may be edited or deleted; moreover, new poll answers may be added.
PollResults.aspx - displays the results for a specified poll.
The remainder of this article examines these three pages in detail. In addition to the polling User Control and administration pages, the download at the end of this article includes instructions on deploying the User Control and administration pages to an existing website.
The Default.aspx page in the ~/Admin folder is responsible for listing all of the current polls and enabling administrators to edit, delete them, or view their responses. This page also allows administrators to add a new poll. The listing of the polls is accomplished by using a GridView control. The Edit and View Results columns are implemented as HyperLinkFields: the Edit link sends users to EditPoll.aspx?pid=PollID while View Results takes them to PollResults.aspx?pid=PollID.
When deleting a record from the Polls table we also need to delete the corresponding answers and responses from the PollAnswers and UserResponses tables. This can be accomplished in one of two ways: by executing multiple DELETE statements to first delete the needed UserResponses records, then the PollAnswers, and then the Poll record; or we can use cascading deletes.
For this data model I enabled cascading deletes on the foreign key constraints. Consequently, we can delete a poll and all of its related answers and responses with a single DELETE statement. The only downside to this approach is that is is now exceedingly easy to accidentally blow away a poll and all of its answers and votes.
In addition to this page's GridView, there is a DetailsView that is used to add new polls to the system. The DetailsView can support inserting capabilities because the SqlDataSource control's InsertCommand is appropriately set. Furthermore, the DetailView is permanently rendered in its inserting interface because its DefaultMode property is set to "Insert". Entering a new poll question and clicking the "Add a New Poll" button causes the new poll to be inserted and refreshes the GridView to include the new poll in the list.
Two DetailsView controls are used on this page: the one at the top provides an interface for editing the poll question text; the one further down enables the administrator to add a new answer to the poll. Since these two DetailsView controls work with different data (the first one updates the Polls table, the second inserts data into the PollAnswers table), two different SqlDataSource controls are used: PollDataSource and PollAnswersDataSource.
There's also a GridView on the page that lists the current poll's answers ordered by the SortOrder column in the same way the poll answers are displayed by the polling User Control. This GridView uses the same SqlDataSource as the DetailsView for adding new answers (PollAnswersDataSource). The Edit and Delete buttons utilize the GridView's built-in editing and deleting capabilities. Refer to Accessing and Updating Data in ASP.NET 2.0 for a more thorough discussion on the SqlDataSource and editing and deleting from the GridView control.
The final administration page is PollResults.aspx, which displays the results of the poll whose PollID is specified through the querystring parameter pid. As we saw in the Building the Polling User Control article, we can show a poll by simply dropping the polling User Control on the page and setting its PollID property to the ID of the poll to display. The only caveat here is that the polling User Control will display the voting interface if the person viewing the poll is authenticated and has not yet taken the poll. Therefore, an administrator who wants to see a poll's results will instead see the voting interface (assuming he has yet to take the poll in question).
To remedy this, I added another property to the polling User Control called PollEnabled. If this Boolean property is set to True (the default) then poll displays the voting interface for authenticated users who have not yet taken the poll and the read-only results interface for all others (this is the behavior we discussed in Building the Polling User Control). If, however, PollEnabled is set to False, the read-only results interface is displayed regardless of whether the currently visiting user has taken the poll or not.
With this property in place, the PollResults.aspx page in the administration section can be correctly implemented. The page contains the polling User Control whose PollEnabled property is set to False. In Page_Load the User Control's PollID is set to the pid querystring value. Consequently, this page will now display the results of the specified poll regardless of whether the administrator viewing it has taken the poll or not.
Over the course of this article and the previous two (Design Decisions and the Data Model and Building the Polling User Control) we looked at a polling User Control and associated administrative web pages. This started with a discussion of the design goals and a look at the data model. We then explored the steps of building the polling User Control and looked at how it could be used in an ASP.NET 2.0 web application. In this third and final installment we looked at the administration web pages.
You are welcome to use the polling User Control in your websites. Also, you are free to make any enhancements, customizations, or modifications to fit your particular requirements. If you do use this User Control I would appreciate some form of attribution, but this is just a friendly request and not a requirement for use.

I had began my quest of learning how to make ramen by way of cook books, and any info I could find. I was hard pressed to find stuff 8 years ago. David Chang’s Momofuku cook book was the first big break I got for recipes and what ramen truly was. Then I found Ivan Orkin’s book. Another huge break through of knowledge and passion about ramen. It was in his book where I learned about the Yamato Noodle School and Yamato noodle machines. I took to google, and I can't really remember how or where but eventually I was in contact with team Yamato. At that point I was using an Italian table top hand crank pasta machine. I would have to make my dough so wet to get it work.
Anyways, Yamato invited me to the workshop in L.A. which I jumped on and even came back for a second visit to see the machine and the opportunity to meet Mr. Fujii. What I learned in these classes was GROUNDBREAKING for me. The science, the ratios, the different types of ramen noodles, the history. It was a giant turning point in my pursuit of opening my own ramen shop. Now, seeing the machine work for the first time absolutely blew my mind. I couldn’t believe how dry the dough was, and how perfectly stable the consistency of the cut noodles was too. I was astounded. The price scared me a lot. I looked and looked for other alternatives. I found nothing that could compare to the Yamato machine, so I booked my 2nd trip to L.A. to see it again - and it was then when I decided that I would without a doubt be buying a Yamato machine.
I think the hardest parts were naming my restaurant, and finding good quality Japanese ingredients. It is very difficult in the middle of America to find Japanese ingredients. There are many Asian markets but they all had very small and poor quality Japanese selections. Eventually, I was able to find a suitable supplier which has been crucial for Shio - I wanted only the best soy sauces, oils, konbu, etc. and they had it. Finding the flour was the next hard part. Luckily an acquaintance, who I met at the workshops, was able to tell me another local restaurant was gonna to become a distributor of NIPPN ramen flour (Tim of Ramen Bowls). At that point Shio was ready to take off. Yamato has always been there for me to answer questions and give recipes. The finest customer service I have ever experienced from start to present.
It’s been 2 and a half years since we opened, and we are going strong. Constantly being told by customers from Japan that my ramen is as good as what they eat at home. Always surprised when I tell them I have never been to. Ha. I just say I make what I was taught by Yamato, and read in books, some in Japanese, so I just would look at the pictures, and follow instructions there.

Food was good; nice variety of menu choices. Our server was pleasant and efficient. One suggestion: we happened to arrive during happy hour. It would have been nice had she checked in with us before happy hour ended. My husband wanted to order another cocktail. By the time she came by and submitted the order, it was three minutes late and they did not honor the happy hour price.
Food was exceptional and Marissa did a great job! The burger and pastrami sliders were great.
Lasagna was delicious. The Greek Chicken Pizza was mediocre. I would definitely eat there again for the pasta but not for the pizza.
Our server Jamie was the best thing about this meal. She was very sweet and attentive—great job. Otherwise, the food was just ok. It wasn’t very hot, and the avocado and basil were brown as if they’d been sitting out for a while. The ambiance is very, very sports-focused, if you are into that. Not as good as hoped, given the menu, which looked great. Overall, just “fine”.
AMAZING. We had a party of 5. We were seated promptly and had the waitress taking our drink order in minutes. The food was absolutely spectacular. We have 5 different meals, burger, pasta, sandwiches, and a personal pizza and we were all thrilled with our meals. This restaurant is fantastic all around.
We were very happy to find all the options and creative dishes on the menu. Food was excellent as was the atmosphere along with all the sporting events on the big screen TVs. We liked our meal so much we came back a few days later with equal satisfaction. Highly recommend this place.
I went here before and I loved the coconut french toast. But we were here last night for lunch and our appetizers were way too salty. We ordered the fried calamari and chicken wings. We didn’t complain although our server Kelsey was very nice.
They should advertise that they serve Round Table Pizza.
This is a small sports bar that has a lengthy food menu that offers breakfast lunch and dinner.
The food had good flavor and the service was also good. Our server Nancy was very friendly and recommended the “triple play” menu option. It has a small loco moco, a small macadamia coconut pancake stack and a small egg Benedict. It was very tasty and was the right amount of food for me!
The Happy Hour menu is diverse and is a little less expensive than the regular menu.
Turkey SkyHigh sandwich bread was very dry and over toasted. It tasted awful. The decor was nice with lots of TVs. Service was excellent.
Service was on the slower side but the food was really good.
This is one of our go to spots for pupus and drinks with friends. Food is always good and fresh, and the lychee martinis were exceptionally good on this visit. Sadly the margarita that my husband ordered was a little sour for his taste. Even tho it wasn’t crowded at all (made 3p reservations), it took awhile for our drinks and food to come. The food is always great, pastrami sliders are always a hit, as well as the pastrami fries. I enjoyed the calamari and sweet potato fries.
The servers were very polite and friendly. We’ll definitely be coming back again.
Don't go there to carry on a quiet intimate conversation though.
Enjoyed our dinner very much. It was really loud but it is a sports bar. TVs everywhere! Which is great for a sports bar. Very casual but the food is amazing and we had fun. Wait staff was very friendly.
Went to watch a football game.
Great American bar, good portions of food and drinks. Fun vibe, family friendly.
Sandwiches could have used more meat. Taste was good and staff was friendly.
Nice food and great service. I visted twice on my recent 10 day stay and enjoyed the food.
Family friendly dining in good location. Pizzas are good and sandwiches are good. The pasta was horrible though. Tasted of raw garlic. Caesar salad only tasted of garlic as well. Greek salad only had three slices of tomato and was mostly all lettuce.
Good service and very nice food.
We dined here as an extended family of 10. The service was great! Our waiter was very attentive. We chose this restaurant because it was more casual and had a menu with lots of options. We dined on salads, pizza, burgers and chicken. We were able to have family conversation and watch 3 different sports on tv. This was my nephew’s favorite place we dined in Waikiki.
We are local regulars and enjoy walking through Waikiki and stopping at Giovanni's for food and beer. Food and service is top notch and consistent. Sometimes we can't get in during popular sports events but that's okay. We are not sports fanatics so we'll only go in when there is no waiting for a table.

Last month Hollywood actress Charlize Theron was seen in the company of the former civil husband of actress Hall berry and the father of her daughter Nala Gabriel Aubry. No one could not think that their communication can go so far. Edition of OK! Magazine reports that the former fiancée of Sean Penn’s Dating a male model.
“Charlize and Gabriel have sympathy to each other. Still too early to say how long renewed their relationship, they don’t want to rush, and certainly don’t want to tell us about your novel the society, but they are a big attraction and communication” — said the insider.
As it became known, the two first met in a Los Angeles school where their children study. Together they attended school events, and after their flirtation has moved into something more.
“They went on dates several times and often talk on the phone. Gabriel does not intend to hurry, and Charlize share his opinion. Its satisfied with the current state of things,” the insider said.
Recall that Aubrey still gets the alimony from the lobby of the berry. After a fight with her ex-husband of the actress, Olivier Martinez, the actress also paid his hospital bills and gym to the father of her daughter was able to return to the podium and at least a little to make himself.

A survey from the Institute of Student Employers (ISE) has found that graduate jobs are set to rise across a number of sectors in 2018, with employers expecting to boost their number of graduate job vacancies by 11 per cent.
The annual Student Recruitment Pulse survey asked 103 UK student employers about their hiring intentions for the year ahead and found that the graduate jobs market will be returning to double-digit growth for the first time since 2015.
According to the survey, an additional 1,423 graduate jobs will be offered this year. Last year, there was just a 1 per cent increase in graduate jobs, whilst the number of graduate jobs in 2016 decreased by 8 per cent. In 2015, the number of graduate vacancies increased by 13 per cent.
An additional 1,501 apprenticeships are also expected to be offered this year, up by 32 per cent from 19 per cent in 2017 and 13 per cent in 2016. The gradual increase comes as a result of the introduction of the Apprenticeship Levy.
The study also showed that employers have put more effort into filling graduate vacancies, with just 38 per cent of employers failing to fill vacancies last year, down from 52 per cent in 2016.

A crown lift is the removal of lower branches to lift the height of the crown. It is sometimes referred to as crown raising also.
Good practice for crown lifts states that crown lifting should not usually include the removal of large branches growing directly from the trunk. This can cause large wounds in the tree which can then lead to further long-term problems including decay.
This is appropriate for roadside locations or for allowing more light into adjacent properties. In the UK, highway regulations state that the clearance space over a road must be 5.5m and over a footway 2.5m.
Crown cleaning is the removal of epicormic growth, crossing branches, or dead wood. This reduces the hazard of dead timber falling on to buildings, vehicles or people. This process also allows the tree to compartmentalize more efficiently and leaves the tree looking cleaner.
Crown thinning is the removal of weak or crossing branches to improve the structure of the crown and let in more light.
This can give the tree the appearance of being smaller and less imposing without actually altering the overall shape or size of the tree.
Reasons for crown thinning including allowing more light to pass through the tree, reduce the wind resistance of the tree and to reduce the weight of the tree.
This is often a job that needs to be done regularly on tree species that are known to produce large amounts of epicormic growth.
Crown reduction is the careful removal of the outer crown to produce a smaller sized canopy.
This can help the tree be more suited to its immediate environment and reduce the effects of shading and light loss created by the tree.
Preferably no more than 30% of the tree should be removed at any one time unless safety is an issue, although this varies from species to species.
All of these procedures involve roped access into the tree, in some circumstances cherry pickers have to be used if it is too dangerous to climb.
Once in the tree, the CareFell team will use specialist hand saws, chain saws and pruning techniques to prune the branches off.
In some cases cranes have to be utilised to conduct the removal of branches safely due to the weight and height of the branch. Once the procedure is completed, anything cut from the trees will be removed from site on the back of our trucks, where it will be transported to our yards legally adhering to loading regulations and licensing laws. The cuttings are then recycled into fuel or used as mulch ground cover. At CareFell we ensure that we leave your site clean and tidy. Any tree protected with a Tree Preservation Order (TPOs) will require the correct permits before CareFell will be able to make any alterations to the tree or fell it.
CareFell also offers other arborist services throughout Kent such as tree removal and felling, stump removal, garden clearances, hedge maitenance and the safe removal of storm damaged trees.

@elia what is the relationship between this and the stuff on master? What is the relationship between this and your fork @janbiedermann ?
@elia :clap: I’ve been running a reasonably complex semi-production SPA (using my RoBE framework https://github.com/balmoral/robe) on 0.11.0 for a while. Just switched to 0.11.1.pre and no issues.
@catmando sorry I missed your question earlier, 0.11.1 backports a couple of fixes from master the should make it easier to release a 0.11 compatible version of opal-rspec and opal-jquery, on master there's much more stuff including a complete rewrite of inheritance, Module#prepend, etc.
@catmando good to know there's this dependency, I'll try to speed up the digestion of that PR, alas I have no ETA, lately I had a bit less time available and things kinda slowed down, usually I try to have any major release working on some real-world non-trivial app before releasing.

Hello all-Shir here! As you may or may not know, I’m currently living in Tel Aviv, Israel. I’m super excited to announce my new segment called “Tel Aviv Top 5”. For those of you who know me you know how “on-the-go” I am, especially when I’m in a new place. These past 6 months I’ve dined at an embarrassing amount of restaurants, experienced the amazing nightlife, swam in the best beaches, spent the day in Israel’s beautiful nature, and so much more. We learn every day and discover new things all the time, which is why each post of this TT5 is a draft that will be updated if needed. I’m so excited to share with you all of the reasons why I love Israel through this segment!
And the second Tel Aviv TOP 5 is……BEACH RESTAURANTS. Tel Aviv is home to one of the most beautiful and most fun beaches I’ve seen in my life. It’s impossible to walk down the boardwalk and NOT pass by the aroma of delicious Israeli beach food. Fun fact: one of the most popular summer beach snacks in Israel is watermelon & feta cheese. It may sound weird to you, but I promise it’s delicious!
Most people go to beach restaurants in TLV to be facey (to see and be seen) which is reallyfun, but at times you also want a break. Because I’m such a big foodie, I have to rate this #1 because the food here is INCREDIBLE. Bordering TLV and Yafo, Cassis is a bit farther than the rest. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for a gastronomic dinner and private beach; it’s a good spot for you and a loved one or a birthday lunch and then relaxing beach session!
This is one of the most popular beach restaurants in the heart of Tel Aviv. If you’ve been to the TLV beach, you’ve seen or passed bye this spot. Lala land is the ultimate place to show face. All of the tourists come here to eat a light lunch and tan. If I had to choose a beach restaurant to eat in the midst of the TLV madness it would be this one. Their salads are DELICIOUS and I heard the schnitzel is too.
Mystery dad and I were cold so they offered us blankets!
This beach restaurant is technically in Herzeliya (the city just north of TLV) but it’s super close and knwn as THE beach spot in Israel. People come here more to drink, tan, and party then to eat. The music and vibes are great and in the summer there is ALWAYS…and I do mean always….a PARTY.
This beach restaurant is near Lala Land and is one of the most popular ones. It’s in the center of the city and people are always strolling passed it. It’s known for its seafood and good vibes. What makes it stand out from the others, is the fact that it hosts “sunset” parties almost every night of the week during summer. There is a weekly “lineup” with the DJs performing and its a good time for those who want to enjoy the beautiful beach sunset while getting a little buzzed!
This beach restaurant is also in Herzeliya (like Gazebboo) and is situated on these rocks on the beach overlooking the beautiful ocean. Because it’s not in the center of Tel Aviv, it’s not as much of a party and you won’t see everyone and their mother whom you know- BUT I’ve got to recommend this place for its incredible food and classy style.

Reading Wednesday: When Do You Read?
As a parent of an inquisitive five-year-old, I often get asked about time. How many seconds are in two hours? How many minutes are in a day? How many hours are in a week? And to sound like a cliché, it’s times like that I realize I need six or seven clones or thirty hours in a day to get everything done. This week was one of those weeks that went by in a blink of an eye. Doctor visits, dentist visits, and writing occupied much of my time. And with many of my minutes occupied driving from one place to another or bouncing like a yo-yo between different rooms in a doctor’s office, something had to give this week. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to read as often as I like. That brought a question to my mind: when you are busy, what is the first thing that gets eliminated on your schedule? I hate to admit that reading got pushed back to mere minutes instead of hours. When you get busy, do you seek more time to read to try or do you set your book aside for a couple of days until your schedule evens out?
For me, I always try to read my craft book before I read my fun books. I think that was one of the reasons I loved Stephen King’s On Writing so much. It was the guilty pleasure book that read more like a pleasure book than a book about the craft of writing. So there were days this week I read part of Donald Maass’ Writing the Breakout Novel and nothing else.
Donald Maass’ Writing the Breakout Novel. Now that the introduction by Anne Perry and the first chapter are out of the way, I’m reading more about his pointers for writers. I’m enjoying his insights into a well constructed and breakout novel. For instance, he asks writers to stop at think not only about their character’s stakes in the book but what is the writer’s personal stake in the book? His point is writing a novel to meet a deadline isn’t the greatest personal stake in the world. Chances are if you’re no longer having fun, your characters may reflect your disinterest in writing. As I read through the section, I considered his questions. Thought-provoking questions for a thought-provoking book. So far I recommend this writing book. It helps you think about the character’s stakes in the outcome, it sprinkles in ideas to help with crafting different genres, and it addresses the premise of the book. And all of that in the first eighty-plus pages. This book is worth the time and money.
The Book That Shall Not Be Named. It’s been great to hear from people about why you stop reading books. If I were going to start putting a book down in the middle, this book would be the book. As a writer, I understand how hard it is to write a book. As a person, I try not to give bad reviews (except for the Holiday Inn I stayed at with my WH in Charleston-13 years later and I’m still willing to give that hotel a bad review). But as a reader, I cringe at not finishing a story, always hoping for a little nugget somewhere in the book. I’m still waiting with this book for that nugget.
The Rancher’s Reunion by Tina Radcliffe. This is the book I’m reading on my Kindle. It’s a category inspirational romance. So far I’ve only read the first twenty pages, but I’ve loved these twenty pages more than any of the pages in the book that shall not be named. Will has picked up Annie at the airport as she has just returned from Kenya. Over the next week, I look forward to finding out more about these two: why did Annie leave his ranch the day she realized she loved him, why is she returning to the ranch? So far it’s a great story, and it makes me want to finish the other book so I can spend some enjoyable time engrossed in this story.
This week promises to bring less doctor’s appointments and less deadlines. Family Friday’s blog will introduce a new member of our family, creating another reason I haven’t had as much time to read. But hopefully things are settling down because Donald Maass’ book is becoming interesting and thought-provoking, Tina Radcliffe’s book is promising a relaxing few hours of fun, and well, the other book has a finite number of pages.
Is there anything in your life that reduces the amount of time you read or do you try to stay consistent with the amount of time you devote to reading? Let me know.

We knew it would only be a matter of time before you would awaken Mother Nature, and lots more activity starting to brew up too! Lets get right down to the action! Tropical Storm Danny has been named in the eastern Atlantic and is rolling along slowly 1600 miles from the Windward Islands. At a slow churning pace Danny is sustaining winds of 40+ mph at present and is predicted to gain strength slowly throughout the week towards the weekend. Danny is forecasted to become a Hurricane once it makes its first island landfall, but which way will it go? We haven’t had a legit storm yet this year, and Danny could be the guy late to the party, but it is still way early to tell so lets not get over-amped just yet.. But, it’s nice to have something positive to talk about this Hurricane Season and we’ll take what we can get. Another system is pushing off the mid-Atlantic making things interesting as far as pulling the dryer air out of Danny’s way for now. If anyone was planning a last gas trip to the Islands for the summer, this could be a good one to chase if you make the right call! We’ll keep our eyes peeled very close to this one and be back online for multiple updates throughout Danny’s progress! As far as this week on the home front, it’s the quiet before the storm, and not much going on but microwaves so bust out the LB and get some paddle time in!

The FAST FACTOR App also provides medical professionals with up-to-date assays of the most common medications/factor concentrates that patients use in their home-infusion treatments.
The FAST FACTOR App was specifically designed with infusion-therapy patients, caregivers, and doctors in mind.
If you are a caregiver or patient with a bleeding disorder that requires treatment (prophylactically or on-demand), this application allows you to ditch the notebook and go digital. The FAST FACTOR App helps you track your treatments, set up a schedule with reminders, solicit support, and report events to your medical team, all from the device you carry around in your pocket.
Medical professionals may also utilize this application. Doctors may view available assays in addition to their patients’ data/reports. This App essentially cuts out the middle-man, and saves time. By having current listings of drug assays, it is intended to decrease overall waiting time, phone calls, and the coordination that needs to happen between the patient, the insurance provider, and the healthcare team.
The FAST FACTOR App is available on both iTunes and Google Play. It is FREE. You don’t even have to be a FOSRX/FAST Pharmacy patient to use it. It is a resource designed to help you on your journey of attaining the best treatment and healthcare possible.

The Trades Union Congress (TUC) has launched a new system of disability passports designed to record the reasonable adjustments agreed between an employer and a disabled employee, so that those adjustments remain in place if the employee’s line manager changes.
The disabled employee is then given a personal written disability passport, which records how their disability affects them at work and what reasonable adjustments have been agreed.
Why should employers issue disabled staff with a personalised disability passport?
Disabled staff commonly complain about the difficulties they encounter when negotiating reasonable adjustments at work to alleviate disadvantages they face due to their disability. In particular, issues can arise when there is a change of line manager, role or department/team, because the new manager may not recognise the agreed adjustments and may take a different view as to their reasonableness. This can cause disabled staff to feel like they constantly have to move from one ‘battle’ to the next, with their agreed adjustments being constantly threatened.
Both the employee, their manager and usually HR will have a copy of the written disability passport.
HR should actively seek the employee’s consent to share the disability passport with any new line manager and - if the employee is changing team or role - with their new team leader/department head.
Will the idea of disability passports ‘catch on’?
As this scheme has the backing of the TUC, which represents 5.5 million working people who are members of 48 member unions, it seems likely that employers with unionised workforces will very quickly see requests to introduce disability passports in their workplace. Over time, the idea of disability passports may have a ‘trickle-down’ effect and begin to filter into non-unionised workplaces. Indeed, some employers may want to proactively adopt the disability passport’s scheme in their own workplace.

The idea of a Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) was first proposed in the 1950s when the US, Russia and Britain had nuclear weapons, and France and China were developing them. (France exploded its first nuclear bomb in 1960, China in 1964.) Since the US was in the lead, it had the greatest interest in limiting the arms race, so from the beginning of the 1950s it pushed for nuclear containment. President Dwight Eisenhower proposed to the UN General Assembly on 8 December 1953 that an agency be set up to control the use of nuclear material (1).
6-8 of November 2009 the Swedish Network for Nuclear Disarmament, in co-operation with several organizations, held an international conference on Nuclear Disarmament in Stockholm, Sweden.
It is one of the few nations outside the Non-Aligned Movement that have resolved it is time for a convention. Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey stressed the humanitarian risks of nuclear weapons and stated: "[W]e must outlaw nuclear weapons, specifically by means of a Nuclear Weapons Convention, as proposed by the UN Secretary-General."

The total value of international freight originating from and destined to Miami International Airport (MIA) in 2016 jumped eight percent to $57.3 billion in 2016, according to recently released data by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Largely responsible for the spike was pharmaceutical (pharma) freight, which surged 48 percent year over year to $4.4 billlion. Since 2010, when the total value of pharma shipments was $1.8 billion, MIA’s pharma trade has grown by 140 percent.
MIA's continued growth means a stronger economy and more job creation for our community. That's something each of our 2.7 million residents can be proud of.
In 2015, MIA was designated by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) as the first pharma freight hub in the U.S. and the second in the world. MIA was recognized for organizing its pharma logistics providers to undergo IATA’s Center of Excellence for Independent Validators (CEIV) Pharma Certification Program, which certifies that pharma products are transported in accordance with global best practices.
Our efforts to maximize pharma freight traffic at MIA continue to pay dividends for Miami-Dade County, the state and the nation. The World Health Organization projects that the global pharma industry will rise in value from $300 billion to $400 billion within the next three years, and we want to position MIA at the center of that growth trend.
To grow the global pharmaceutical air cargo industry, MIA and Brussels Airport – the first two IATA-designated pharma freight hubs in the world – partnered to create Pharma.Aero in October 2016. The goal of the association is to be a collaborative group of airport operators, pharma shippers, CEIV-certified cargo communities and other air pharma stakeholders focused on improving pharma handling and quality in the air cargo industry worldwide. Since its launch, the organization has added Singapore Changi Airport, Sharjah (UAE) International Airport, Chhatrapati Shivaji (Mumbai) International Airport, Brussels Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Brinks Life Sciences, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer and Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp. as strategic members.
In addition to boosting pharma freight traffic, MIA remained the busiest airport for international freight in the U.S. and in the Western Hemisphere in 2016, handling: 83 percent of all air imports and 79 percent of all air exports between the U.S. and the Latin American/Caribbean region. MIA also continues to handle the majority of America’s perishable imports by air, including: 89.2 percent of all flower air imports; 66.7 percent of all fruit and vegetable air imports; and 49.8 percent of all fish air imports. In Florida, MIA’s 2016 air trade amounted to 92 percent of the state’s total air trade value and 40 percent of its combined (air & sea) trade value.

Increasing acknowledgement that agriculture should be among the key sectors driving the economy and job creation in South Africa has leaned mainly on potential expansion in hectares of labour-intensive and globally sought-after horticultural products as well as traditional grains and oilseeds.
In addition to the aforementioned crops, the changing perceptions about cannabis around the globe – and its growing value – raise a question of whether South Africa should put a concerted effort into research on this crop so that policymakers can better assess if its production benefits could be balanced by measures to mitigate unintended consequences.
A recent Constitutional Court ruling decriminalised the private use of cannabis in South Africa, but the conditions and boundaries still need to be considered and legislated. Furthermore, the decriminalisation for private use might not be where the commercial value lies. The focus should rather be on exploring the possible benefits for the country through the controlled international trade in cannabis and its products, and also medicinal-use purposes in the domestic market.
Potential export markets include the US, Canada and China, as some regions within these countries have decriminalised cannabis. In the state of California in the US, the value of the cannabis industry was estimated at $3 billion in 2017. Colorado and Florida were valued at more than $1 billion each.
In the same year, Canada spent over $5 billion on cannabis for medical and non-medical purposes.
In China – which grows nearly half the world’s legal hemp – sales of textile fibre made from the plant’s stalk totalled $1.2 billion in 2017.
South Africa already trades agricultural commodities with these countries. Their increasing desire for cannabis and its product is thus interesting. It would offer extra value if South Africa was to follow the route of producing the crop for international trade and medicinal use within a clearly regulated environment.
I am not arguing for any particular policy position regarding cannabis, but rather for increased research that would assist policymakers in evaluating the benefits, and possible unintended consequences, of growing and trading cannabis. The research should take stock of the changing perceptions surrounding this crop globally, as week as its growing demand and commercial value.
In the coming years, depending on whether South Africa’s policy position on cannabis follows global developments, the ideal provinces would be Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo due to favourable climatic conditions.
Wandile Sihlobo is an agricultural economist and head of research at Agbiz.
We should, but let’s just remember that while marijuana is legal in for example Canada, California, Colarado – they do not permit imports at all.
On the positive side, we already have ten million skilled growers, so getting going will be easy.
Seems logical although is that the only thing that can be grown in those areas? If not then the gov should prioritise getting that land into productive use regardless of the product really. If we are going to fully legalise it then formalizing the production then makes a lot of sense and should be supported, we need all the wins we can get right now.
Anyone know the going rate per hectare for land around the Port St Johns area? Asking for a friend.
The knowledge of both the medical and non medical properties have been known for 100s of years, just like the electric and hydro powered vehicle.
It’s simple the control of big business and government that have kept it out of the public reach so that the big businesses benefit and keep control of their industries.
You can also include crypto currencies and other drugs which will at some point in time become both legal and safe to use.
South Africa has a problem and that is “entitlement”, some how we all believe or have been made to believe that the world owes us for our own historical misfortunes and poor rule.
In order to make this work we would need much more than sheer policy.
Of course we should… The gains we could make in our textile, energy, medical and other sectors would be massive. Even if we can’t export the fact that we would be importing less would be huge. Investment would come as well.
Lol, and to whom will we export our pristine product?

Apple has been pushing its Apple News app as a way to view the latest news on your Apple device, and for good reason. If you’ve used apps like Flipboard or other slick news curators in the past, Apple News does the same thing but with an updated interface, useful tools and a variety of viewing options for every preference.
Of course, if you give it a shot (which we encourage you to do), it helps to know how the app works and what tricks can make it function properly, especially if you’ve never really used a news curator before. Let’s walk through the tips you should know as you begin using the app.
Apple News personalizes news based on what you choose to read and like. Look for the red heart that signifies “Love story” and choose this to let Apple know you appreciated it.
You can also choose the crossed heart sign at various places in News to dislike a story.
Apple will take this information and use it to send you stories you are more likely to “love” in the future.
It’s up to you how much you want to use these features to personalize your experience. Sometimes, liking and disliking too much can lock you into a cycle of similar articles that can restrict your access to things that are actually, well, news. So you may not want to constantly personalize. However, if you really want Apple to know what you like, you can take it a step further on your Mac.
Open the Apple News app on your Mac.
Then choose News at the top of your menu screen.
Here, you can choose to Find Content in Other Apps, which means Apple will pay attention to what you read in a bunch of apps, instead of just in Apple News. You can find the same option in Siri & Search on mobile.
Digests and Today are two important tabs in Apple News. But do you know the difference between them?
Digests contain the top quality stories of the day, personally picked by human news editors. Digests don’t appear to be affected by personalization and so they’re a good way to get a broad swath of news from reliable sources. Note that this tab may be replaced with trending stories/events (ex. The Grammys).
Today, meanwhile, is a feed of the latest news stories that remains highly impacted by your personalization choices. That makes Today a better choice for your own niche interests and following news that may not appear in publications from larger organizations – think about your hobbies, industries, and narrow interests when customizing this feed!
The third important tab in News is Channels. When you first begin using News, Channels is a collection of publications offering their native news stories to peruse – newspapers, journals, e-zines, etc. You can search for any channel you want to see if it’s available on Apple News.
When you find a channel that you really want to follow, then select the heart icon, and Channels will begin to collect a list of the channels that you are already following, and start suggesting particular channels based on that list.
If you come across a story you want to read while scanning your channels, you choose the Save/Save Story option found by pressing the Share button to add it to your Saved Stories. This can also be accessed by swiping left on an article in the main feed.
Once you read a saved story, it will show up in your History section.
While reading an article, you can select the Share button on your screen to quickly share a story.
You can get the same option by swiping left outside of a story if you’re on a touchscreen.
This will open up a number of sharing methods based on the apps you have downloaded, like Messages or Facebook. Share using your preferred method!
Sometimes you will find a story you don’t want, or realize that a channel you followed isn’t providing anything of value. Here, you can tap or click the Share button and use the crossed heart icon to Block Channel.
This will do more than just dislike the story, it will remove the channel entirely and prevent it from showing in Channels again.
Blocking a topic is a little trickier (you may end up blocking stories you want to see), but will generally prevent topics with similar headlines from appearing in the News app ever again.
You can find a list of Blocked Channels & Topics at the bottom of the Channels section in case you ever do want to unblock something.
Are you a blogger, or do you manage a publication? Look into publishing on Apple news. Apple works to make signing up easy, and also offers advertising opportunities for growing your brand. Don’t worry if you’re new to the whole publishing thing – Apple offers many guides and tutorials to train you on everything you need to know to begin publishing.

Last week, Janie and I took a mini day-trip to catch the new American Girl movie, An American Girl: Isabelle Dances into the Spotlight. It was debuting in Lynnwood at the Alderwood Mall, which is also where the American Girl store lives, so we made day of it with Janie’s American Girl-loving cousin, Taylor, and her mama.
We actually started with lunch at the American Girl Bistro. If you have a little girl, whether she is obsessed with American Girl or not, this is worth doing. We’ve been a few times over the years and the girls always look forward to it… and I confess that I do, too! You can bring your own doll, or borrow one from their extensive collection (they give each doll a little booster seat to sit at the table with you), the food is surprisingly good and the prices are reasonable.
I would recommend that you wait until your girls are old enough to actually enjoy the experience, as it can be overwhelming. I mean, imagine an entire cafe filled with doll-loving girls, half of which are celebrating their birthdays and most of which are hopped up on the bistro’s yummy pink lemonade. Meg was five when we took her for the first time and I’d say it was the perfect age to introduce her to the experience.
Also, be sure to make reservations in advance. They are always booked and always busy. You can find more details about booking a reservation and the dining experience on the American Girl website.
After lunch (and a little shopping at the American Girl store, of course!), we headed over to the theater for the movie. An American Girl: Isabelle Dances into the Spotlight was so sweet, maybe my favorite of their movies yet (yes, I’ve seen them all…). I loved that it’s focused around Isabelle (who is the American Girl Doll of the Year for 2014) and her sister, Jade, who are both ballerinas. If you’ve seen enough of these movies, you know that the message from movie-to-movie is pretty much the same, but the girls don’t seem to mind, as they introduce new elements to bring each year’s Girl of the Year to life.
Janie and Taylor both loved the movie… Janie, who spent years in ballet, was especially enamored and I could tell she was relating to the story and the characters. And, bonus points to American Girl for putting on a flawless event — the tickets to the movie were $5 each, but they included popcorn and soda at the theater, plus crafts, games and a gift bag for each girl (we snagged one to bring home to Meg, too!). It was all very well done.
An American Girl: Isabelle Dances into the Spotlight goes on sale today. You can grab it on Amazon on DVD, Blue-Ray or via digital download. I don’t think that it’s sold locally in stores, but if I happen to see it, I’ll pass the information on. You can also get a copy at the American Girl store or one their website.
Did you go to the premiere, too?

In this volume of Missing 411, David takes things in a very different direction. He is looking into the patterns of disappearances, mainly on or around college campuses, which end with the victims found dead in the nearby water. These people are often young, late teens and early 20's, often disappear very suddenly, and are found in places that do not make sense, which have usually been searched before, and often without any clear cut cause of death. Almost all of these cases end with the victim being found in the water. These cases are systematically dismissed by law enforcement, and that may be because they have no good answers for the facts of them. The more you read through these, the more you see the pattern. The official response is that you have college students getting drunk and falling into the river / pond / lake, what have you, and there are some cases where perhaps that did happen. Most of these, though, you find the person could not have been in the water as long as they were missing, so they were somewhere else for days, sometimes weeks, and then ended up in the water. Victims will disappear from bars, or just outside bars, and are never see again. There are variations. Searches reveal nothing. Then, someone finds the body, in a location that was thoroughly searched, weeks or months later. As you read through these cases, you can plainly see the facts don't add up. He also deals with some other strange water related deaths, that are slightly different in pattern at first glance, but have some of the same elements present. It's disturbing. David also ties it into the previous Missing 411 work. Again, the overall archetype is there, even if the details look different at first. Something is happening to these people. Something that we do not have all the pieces to. As David collects these cases, we can see bits here and there, the reactions on the phone just before someone disappears, the comments of coroners, the lack of memory from the occasional survivor, the way people get places they shouldn't be able to, to name a few. I don't know what is happening to these people, and honestly it's a little mind boggling. Now, however, we know it's not just in National Parks. Whatever it is, it has never been caught. Whatever it is, it is still out there.
The Book sells for $24.95 on David's website. Do not pay more at Amazon or any other re-seller. David only sells them through his site.
David Paulides and his son Ben join me to talk about their new Documentary, Missing 411 - The Movie. The Kickstarter for it ends on August 16th, 2015 at 9:30AM. Please Donate, or at least spread the word. This needs to be made. David and Ben talk about the progress they have made so far, as well as some strange things that have happened during early filming. I also throw in some folkloric connections at the end to get David's take on it.
We also talk about an article Patrick Harpur wrote called Landscape of Panic (I mispoke in the audio of the show and called it Panic in the Woods). If you would like to read a copy, send Patrick a polite email and ask for a copy. You can find his email address at his website; www.harpur.org/patrick.htm.

Between the 30’s and the 70’s Armand Nicolet had one of the most specialised ateliers in the T1 process (the finishing, assembling and fine setting of all these parts to create a perfectly working mechanical movement).
At the end of the 70’s, when the crisis hit the Swiss Watch Industry because of quartz movements making their big entrance on the market, unlike other brands which either closed their factories or underwent a conversion process, the Armand Nicolet factory, managed by Willy Nicolet (son of Armand), succeeded to preserve their extraordinary knowledge keeping the atelier open throughout those difficult years and conserving the most precious movements.
Such beautiful and extraordinary movements from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s are today finely redecorated and tuned by Armand Nicolet’s master watchmakers so that they can build the “beating heart” of the Armand Nicolet’s O.H.M. (Original Historical Movements) Series. The use of these original historical calibres (treasured over the decades in the atelier) makes the O.H.M. Series available only in limited editions because of the few movements still accessible.
These products locate Armand Nicolet on the market in a unique position. The precious artisan savoir-faire is alive and dynamic at the Armand Nicolet factory and enables the production of truly valuable watches.
Side by side with the O.H.M. there is also the important production of the Contemporary Collections that feature ETA-based movements modified and refinished according to our project’s specifications.
The beautiful models of all these collections stand out thanks to the refined look created by Italian designers and the historical Swiss watch-making tradition.
Recently Armand Nicolet has activated, exclusively in selected countries, the online store to guarantee all their fans worldwide easy access to their collections.
A decade after the launch of the L06 collection (the progenitor of Armand Nicolet’s Limited Edition Series), its long-waited successor has finally arrived and will be presented to collectors during Baselworld 2017.
While keeping alive some traits of the historic version, like the skeletonised pattern and the guilloché dial, the L16 is the result of a modernization process that gives this collection a fresh and classy look.
The skeletonised dial allows full display of the beautiful movement from 1953 and the distinctive O.H.M sign clearly printed on the dial.
The L16 collection will be produced in 299 pieces.
Model A132AAA-AG-P713MR2 retails at CHF 6’500.
This new O.H.M will be presented to the public during Baselworld 2017 (you can find the Armand Nicolet booth B37 in Hall 2.0).
and perfectly portraying the year in which its movement was manufactured: 1956.
The LB6 collection will be produced in 225 pieces.
Model A134AAA-BU-P140BU2 retails at CHF 4’900.
As the first Limited Edition dedicated to women by Armand Nicolet, this line features the O.H.M. AN704A. The original movement from 1960 has been modified and upgraded making the AN704A a perfect mix of great Swiss mechanical tradition with the most modern techniques of watch-making.
Knowing that diamonds are a girl’s best friend this prestigious line is available with different options of diamond settings and with a rose gold bezel. Each piece of this line is a model of exceptional value and style thanks to the wise combination of a collector’s unique movement and the expertise of the Armand Nicolet’s master watch-makers who created a timeless piece of unrepeatable beauty for a limited crew of elegant women.
The LL9 collection has been produced in 500 pieces.
Model 9653J-AN-P953BC8 retails at CHF 9’300.
Armand Nicolet has given one of their most successful collections a makeover and a newly re-styled ARC ROYAL is now available!
The original concept with moving lugs that 15 years ago inspired the first version of this family hasn’t changed but this time particular attention was put on the combination of elegance and comfort.
The revisited dial gives full display to Roman numbers that are combined with the skeletonised pattern into an exciting mix of antique and technology.
The ARC ROYAL is a great example of the fantastic results you get when you succeed to fuse together Italian design and charm with Swiss care for details and precision.
Model A422AQN-GR-G9660 retails at CHF 4’600.
Here is the perfect link between the elegance of the Swiss watch-making tradition and the original and sporty Italian attitude. The outcome is a collection where versatility, comfort and style are taken to the limit.
Very eye-catching and modern, this collection features also a great variety of straps that makes it not only fit for any occasions but also for any wallet. These watches are extremely comfortable and versatile due to their shape which was designed to be timeless yet with a metropolitan look.
Model A654AAA-BU-MA4650AA retails at CHF 4’300.

In Houston, 44,735 people saw the first All-Star exhibition of the endless duo of Utah: Karl Malone and John Stockton.
Malone and Dale Ellis (27 points) scored 24-33 in field goals.
Stockton substituted as starter guard Magic Johnson, who was injured, and made 11 points 17 assists and 5 steals.
In the Eastern team Michael Jordan was the best again with 28 points, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (selected in the place of Magic) scored 4 points more for his scoring record.
West sentenced the game with 47 and 40 points in the two first quarters (87-59 at halftime), establishing the highest score of a team at halftime.
