Now that you have 10 great options for Salinas dentistry, it's time to schedule an appointment. Though, if you have a dental phobia, this may not be an easy task.
How to Deal with a Dental Phobia
While most dental procedures are minimally invasive, many people still suffer from a fear of the dentist. In fact, up to 8% of Americans avoid dentists for this reason. The following tips will help you get over your phobia.
First, you need to acknowledge the anxiety. The more you try to push your fears away, the more difficult it becomes.
Then, figure out why you're scared of the dentist. It could be related to a past traumatic experience at a dental office, a lack of control, or perhaps you're worried about the state of your teeth and the need for surgery.
The next step is to address your anxieties by scheduling a dental appointment.
Every dentist in Salinas wants what is best for their patients. This includes easing their discomforts. When you make your appointment, let the staff know about your concerns, so that the team can best determine how to help you feel more relaxed.
In the end, you'll see that visiting a dentist is not scary. And, to make sure that you overcome your fears, you should continue to schedule regular dental exams every six months. You'll get over your dental phobia and improve your smile!

Concept Art
The Piboy Advance seems like it wouldn't be that hard to grab the parts for a prototype. Cheap screen hats are everywhere, as well as usb super nintendo gamepads. After finding out that an open source driver was available for these screens, I thought it had made this process a lot more viable. Only to run into a small problem, the cheap screen displays are ungodly hard to look at. The light bleed is terrible and the colors are so washed out that it's really hard to look at for more than a few minutes.
I can look around and try to find a good quiality screen that does't have terrible colors, but for right now I'm pretty happy having the definition for general screensize, resolution, and the buttons avaialble.

Obviously one can measure actual current, if its possible to get the leads in all the right places.
But will measuring impedance also give hints as to how much (if any) parasitic draw there might be?
I tested the tail cap of my Warrior X Pro and got infinite impedance without pressing the button, and then two different readings depending on how far the button was pressed, due to its gas pedal UI.
Can the same trick be used to measure across the contacts inside the tube, since both positive and negative are at the head thanks to the strange proprietary 21700?

Love Island star Anna Vakili has revealed she has been so successful since the show that her mother no longer needs to work.
Now that's success.
Anna appeared on the 2019 series of the hit ITV dating show, and although she did not find love – and actually found herself caught in the snakey ways of Jordan Hames – she did leave the villa and nab herself several collaborations including working with her sister and shoe brand Simmi London.
All of which has led to what she describes as life-changing 'for the better'.
'I'm very grateful for all of the things that have come my way, but the best thing about it is my mum doesn't have to work anymore,' she told New magazine.
'There have definitely been more ups than downs.'
Anna recently told Metro.co.uk that she had been targeted in online attacks with bullies branding her a 'terrorist' or using 'Arab' as a racial slur and at times found it hard to handle.
Speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk, Anna said: 'It has affected me. [My sister Mandi] will be there to pick me up and tell me to ignore it.
'I'll be in bed really upset and she'll sit on my bed with me and talk to me about it. No normal person does that, sits and insults someone like that.'
The former pharmacist – who has no intention of returning to her former career – previously said she felt like she got targeted more than the other Islanders.
'The thing I love about black communities is that they stick together, but Middle Easterns … they don't have that support,' she claimed.
'When I'm getting DMs like "you Arab ****", "you terrorist", stuff like that is a sensitive topic and people were getting at me about that.'

Author: Kate Morton
Genre: Historical Fiction
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
The House at Riverton is a fictional history of a prominent English family from the viewpoint of a housemaid named Grace. An interesting twist on the storytelling is that it is done from present day Grace in the last of her days in an attempt to relinquish the grief she has carried from the family. Many memories are spawned back to her as a movie director that has decided to make the family's life into a film begins meeting with her about details of the house at Riverton. Telling the story in this manner reminded me greatly of another novel I had read by Morton, The Secret Keeper, which tells me that this type of POV writing is a favorite.
Grace's life is greatly changed as she entered service as a housemaid, becoming completely engaged at the curiosities and energies exhibited by the Hartford children: Hannah, Emmeline, and David. Full of new notions and a familiar feeling that Grace cannot shake off, she become enamored and falls in love with the family.
The novel begins with a frightening scene told as Grace's nightmare which is slowly pieced together throughout with the true turn of events revealed at the end. While that is the main line that keeps this book interesting, there is also the ongoing mystery of what will finally bring it all to the end, as in the dispersion of the family. The Hartford children create problems for themselves at a rate that is increasingly dramatic as they age. Much like a freight train on crash course with no brakes.
An interesting historical topic that this book deals with is the changing of times
after World War I and into the 1920s. During this time the English Elite were starting to diminish as the middle class began to take hold of the world. The book delves into this issue showing the changing attitudes of the people. One particularly notable change that occurs is that when Grace begins her life of service her position is held highly but by the end many would not even dare take a job as a lady's maid. That life offered only diminishing returns and no freedom.
If you enjoy Downton Abbey and books built around parasitic relationships, you should check this one out.

The tech and art worlds have come together on a project that will use blockchain technology to fight art forgery.
The venture is called Thomas Crown Art and has been set up by art dealer Stephen Howes and technology expert Ian McLeod.
Howes said: "Forgeries are, unfortunately, a growing and serious problem in the art world. The fraudsters, who are getting better and better at producing both fake artwork and provenance documentation, have been wreaking havoc throughout the market in the last couple of years.
"Art crime is a huge business. However, I believe going forward, both art and provenance forgery can be stamped out with the clever use of blockchain/decentralised ledger technology at the point the artwork is created."
Physical artwork will be used as a store of value, with each piece linked to a Certificate of Provenance stored on the blockchain. The physical artwork can therefore be used as a wallet, able to store crypto.
"We've created an innovative solution for artists and art collectors providing the ability to use new works of art as a literal 'store of value' and serve as a cryptocurrency wallet for owners whilst providing an independent method to conclusively prove the provenance of artwork quickly and easily, and to view an immutable chain of ownership," McLeod added.
"Using a blockchain to authenticate artwork is an ideal use-case for distributed ledger technology. It provides the ability to store a permanent, immutable record of artwork at the point of creation which can be used to authenticate registered works by anyone with an internet connection."
"Using this cutting-edge technology, the art world can eradicate one of its biggest and most expensive problems – forgery – and can protect artists, galleries, and private owners and collectors," added Howes.

Obamacare: no room at the inn
Don't get me wrong, I am all for Obamacare. I think it doesn't go far enough. I think we need universal health care. My problem with it: Who in the blue hell is going to take care of all of these new people? 30-40 million of them? Its funny, no one has talked about that. They talk about how all the shiny new insurance cards will allow the uninsured to do preventive care, blah blah blah. The question is, who are they going to do preventive care with? People WITH insurance now can't get appointments.
There is always talk that the uninsured don't go to the doctor for things because they can't afford it.
Then they get really sick and end up in the ER and the hospital, costing lots and lots of money with a condition that maybe could have been prevented. So now all those people have the golden ticket to prevent that. Except the golden ticket won't get them in anywhere. So where do you think they are going to head? Why, to the emergency room of course. Just like all the other people with insurance. Its where you head when you can't get in to see the doctor.
ERs are crowded now. Its a daily struggle to find inpatient beds. A lot more people who should be in the hospital will be sent home because there is no room at the inn. You are going to have to be dying to get into the hospital.
You all probably think I'm being the boogeyman. It won't be that bad. The system will handle it. The system is chaos NOW, it won't handle it. If anything, its going to be entertaining to see what happens. The fact that it starts January 1st, right in the middle of the flu/pneumonia/the crud season makes it all the more fun.
4 comments:
If we truly have a system that REQUIRES a significant percentage of our citizens to never access any health care in order for the system to work, well, that's the fault of having the worst health care system in the developed world. You can't blame the ACA for the "preexisting condition" of insufficient doctors in the system or lack of hospital beds. Maybe now that people can actually pay their medical bills, hospitals will be able to afford to meet the needs of all patients.

If the AMA didn't limit the amount of students accepted to med schools in order to keep their supply down and demand up, we might not have the primary care provider shortage we have now. Not to mention the big bucks specialists make which lure med students into high paying specialties. In 2012, almost 12,000 APRNs were graduated and that will increase this year. Nurses will become the primary care providers for all these newly insured.
I have to admit, I'm pretty excited to be entering the field as a PCP right now.

A well-thought-out trademark name is essential
When starting a company, or creating a new brand, one of the first things to do is choosing a name. It is fun but can also be difficult considering the regulations it must comply with to be accepted as a trademark, not to mention coming up with a name that no one else is already using.
An interesting company on the subject is Essential Products, a US based technology company that develops and manufactures smartphones and smart speakers.
What is remarkable is that Essential Products announced its first product, the Essential Phone, on May 30th this year, without having a solid trademark protection. It currently has four registered marks, which got accepted in Great Britain and EU in mid-August and end of September. In total, the company has about 120 pending applications for words and logotypes including the term Essential, of which most are for the US where it has met resistance not only from the USPTO.
Spigen Inc. is a manufacturer of accessories for consumer electronics. It holds the rights to the Essential trademark in the US for a wide range of goods connected to smartphones, tablets and cameras to name a few, though not smartphones directly.
Two days after Essential Products' announcement, Spigen's lawyers sent a cease and desist letter accusing the company for infringement and demanding it to immediately stop using any marks including the term Essential. They stated that they "are prepared to take any and all actions required to protect Spigen's marks". The threat does not seem to scare Essential Products from claiming its right to the brand, as it has filed even more applications that includes the term since then.
It is a risky decision to invest in marketing and launching of a brand that clearly is not unique, before having the exclusive rights. Should Essential Products not be granted the trademark, it may be forced to change the name, which will most likely result in a substantial financial loss for the company.
A situation like this can be avoided by having proactive strategy from step one. As a part of Otmore's approach, we offer a free trademark analysis before filing the application, which has proven to be effective. Contact us today if you want to know more about how we can help secure your assets!

BBC Magazines to sell Origin Publishing
MUMBAI: BBC Magazines in the UK has announced that it has sold Origin Publishing and all of the non-BBC related titles published by it to a management buy-out team led by its current MD, Andy Marshall.
BBC Magazines will retain the BBC-branded titles previously produced by Origin in a new subsidiary to be called Bristol Magazines which will be chaired by BBC Magazines MD Peter Phippen.
BBC Magazines conducted a tender process involving a number of companies and accepted Origin's MBO proposal as the highest bid put forward. BBC Magazines will retain a minority stake in Origin Publishing for a period of time in a staged exit and Origin will continue to provide management services to certain BBC titles during this period. Andy Marshall will also act as Bristol Magazines MD.
Phippen says, "It is sad to have to sell Origin, and to be saying farewell to some very talented people but this is in line with the new remit for BBC Magazines. Origin is an excellent company and I'm sure the MBO team will ensure the business continues to prosper. For our part, we remain committed to Bristol as a publishing centre. Indeed, we are moving Homes & Antiques there and have recently announced our next launch, BBC Mind Games. I'm very excited about our new venture."
Marshall says, "I am delighted that we have the chance to take Origin forward as part of an MBO. We have a fantastic team here with great vision and passion and I know that the business will continue to grow and develop under their leadership. I am also delighted to have been asked to manage the development of the BBC's new venture here in Bristol."
BBC Worldwide's advisers in managing the sale process and in evaluating the bids were Ernst & Young. The non-BBC titles being sold include Blonde Hair, Hair Ideas, Your Hair, Beautiful Cards, Koi and 220 Triathlon.

DAVIS, Calif.; Feb. 06, 2018 –The UC Davis College of Engineering gathered alumni, faculty, students and friends on Friday, Jan. 19 for the college's annual Distinguished Engineering Alumni Medal awards ceremony and alumni celebration at the Mondavi Center.
More than 120 people attended the event to recognize notable graduates whose professional and personal achievements have brought special honor to the college. The five outstanding alumni who were honored at the event were:
- Margie Evashenk, Engineering Management Consultant, minds.ai, Vonzos Venture Partners, Open-Silicon, B.S. Electrical Engineering, '89
- Katherine Ferrara, UC Davis Distinguished Professor, Biomedical Engineering, Ph.D. Electrical Engineering, '89
- Brian Horsfield, Retired Research and Development Engineer, Weyerhaeuser Company, B.S. Mechanical Engineering, '66, M.S. Engineering, '68, D.Engr., '71
- Francis Lee, Board Chairman, Synaptics, B.S. Electrical Engineering, '74
- Adam Steltzner, Chief Engineer: Mars 2020 Project, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, B.S. Mechanical Engineering, '90
During their acceptance speeches, the award winners reflected on their time and experiences at UC Davis and recognized the support of mentors, spouses and family.
"I was the first advertising manager for the famous UC Davis double-decker buses, I was a TA for a guy named Kemper, I met my wife here in the dining hall and of course I received a world-class education here," said three-time UC Davis engineering alumnus Brian Horsfield.
In his remarks, NASA engineer and mechanical engineering alumnus Adam Steltzner, who is famously known for leading the team that designed the Mars Curiosity rover's Entry, Descent and Landing system, emphasized the important role that universities like UC Davis play in shaping future engineers.
"I learned engineering, most fundamentally, here at UC Davis," he said. "And I am forever thankful for that."
The evening included displays from students and research groups from across the college, including a big data visualization table, student projects and 3-D printing machines from the Engineering Student Design Center and a 14-foot space ambulance designed and built by mechanical and aerospace engineering students. Guests also enjoyed coffee brewed by students from the UC Davis Coffee Center, which was founded and now directed by chemical engineering professor William Ristenpart.
The event was also an opportunity to introduce UC Davis Chancellor Gary S. May to the Aggie engineering community. May became the university's seventh chancellor in Aug. 2017, after having served as dean of the College of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Prior to the college's alumni celebration, distinguished alumni met with faculty and students from their old departments.
In a discussion led by Professor Chen-Nee Chuah and Department Chair Saif Islam, Evashenk, Ferrara and Lee shared their perspectives and ideas on how to prepare today's students for a career in industry, and how to continue to engage undergraduate engineering students in hands-on research opportunities.
After meeting with faculty, Evashenk also hosted a special workshop for students on professionalism and life skills.
"Margie is an exceptionally brilliant and humble mentor," said Sonia Krishna, a fourth-year electrical and computer engineering student who Evashenk mentors. "She has accomplished every engineer's dream and has empowered me as a women engineer to grow in the technical world."
Steltzner also met with students to discuss his role in the 2012 landing of the Mars Curiosity rover and to share his insights on the power of human curiosity. More than 130 people turned out for Steltzner's talk, "The Right Kind of Crazy: Risk, Reason and Engineering Curiosity to the Surface of Mars."
Photos from the event are available on the College of Engineering Flickr page.

The second Star Trek Beyond trailer is here, and with it, a lot of new footage — though it doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know from the first trailer. The Enterprise is destroyed, the crew are stranded on an alien planet, and somewhere in there Kirk rides an old-fashioned motorcycle. Check it out below the jump.
Here is the trailer:
Note how the trailer re-uses footage from the first JJ Abrams movie (indeed, it re-uses footage from the trailers for that movie). If that recycled footage appears in the new film, then that will make at least two threequels this summer — the other being X-Men: Apocalypse — that re-use footage from the original preboots.
The new trailer also perpetuates the teal and orange colour scheme that we saw in the first trailer, and it beefs up the pink-red element that seems to "bleed" somewhat:
Here is how that shot looked in the first trailer (note the guy in the background!):
Meanwhile, it was revealed today that Star Trek Beyond will have its world premiere at the San Diego Comic-Con on July 20, on an outdoors IMAX screen with a live orchestra. The rest of the world will get to see the film two days later.
And, on a quasi-related note, two days ago CBS released this brief teaser for the new Star Trek series that will stream on CBS All Access next year:
As a (somewhat upset) friend of mine pointed out, the teaser zips between planets and stars in a way that seems reminiscent of the credit sequences to the Abrams films:
May 21 update: Paramount has released a new video of a "fan event" that took place at the studio last night; this is where the new trailer was first unveiled:

Um, I think you've got a little comma splice there. Oh, and there. And there. And … oh, never mind.
For the record, there's only one period in this entire post (other than the four at the end). For those of you playing along at home, there's 1,152 words in this post, and one period. Apostrophes? None. Commas? 242 of 'em.
Vanessa sent this one in, saying, "This sounds like a script for Christopher Walken."
There were pictures with the post, but I'm going to take pity on the guy and not post them here. Why? Because deep down, I'm a softy. He sounds really sincere. I believe he's looking for love — I just think the written word might not be … let's see, how can I put this delicately? I don't think it's his strongest suit.
If there was ever a post that qualified for both "Ow! My eyes!" and "punctuationally challenged," this is definitely it.

poetry Death Warrant
By Alexis Rhone Fancher
When my son's ticket was about
to go to warrant, I went to the
courthouse and explained to the judge
that he was in the hospital, dying.
Someone in the courtroom gasped.
Someone grabbed my hand.
Josh lusted over a muscle car, a
Dodge Charger with a Hemi-powered,
5.7L V8 under the hood.
He wanted me to buy it. I wanted to
lease it. He said that meant I
knew he was going to die.
The judge looked over the warrant.
"He's in the hospital, you say?"
"Yes, your honor. Terminal cancer."
"Good," she said. She handed the
paperwork back to the bailiff.
"Then he won't be driving
without a license,
out there endangering others."
Alexis Rhone Fancher newest book is State of Grace: The Joshua Elegies, (October, 2015, KYSO Flash Press). Her poems have been published in over twenty American and international anthologies. Her photos have been published worldwide. Since 2013 Alexis has been nominated for three Pushcart Prizes and four Best of The Net awards.

High Levels of the Fats known as TRIGLYCERIDES can do serious damage to your body.
When you have a Blood Draw/test – usually fasting – the Doctors always seem to focus on Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol and LDL Cholesterol … if you are lucky some may even look at other Lipid Fractions, most I know, don't usually bother.
What is essential to know is your triglyceride level. WHY?
Life Extension tells us:
Triglycerides accumulate in various organs, where they exert numerous harmful effects, most prominently in cardiac tissue. They influence expression of genes related to susceptibility to coronary artery disease. Accumulating in the heart, they reduce left ventricular function in a fashion specific to people with metabolic disorders.
Triglycerides also trigger increased platelet activation, substantially boosting risk of dangerous clot formation. Elevated triglycerides increase incidence of stroke—a risk that can be mitigated by lowering levels of these dangerous fat compounds.
Elevated triglycerides contribute to the three-fold elevation of cardiovascular disease risk seen in those with metabolic syndrome. People with type 2 diabetes and high liver triglyceride content have poorer blood flow and impaired energy metabolism in their heart tissue.
The Singapore Study
A report published in 2002 revealed a startling 40% of adults 60 years and older suffered from metabolic syndrome, placing them at considerably higher risk for heart attack, stroke, and other age-related diseases.
A common characteristic of metabolic syndrome is high blood levels of LDL and triglycerides, along with impaired glucose control, abdominal obesity, and hypertension.
Of Course there are prescription medications that are given to patients to lower their triglycerides…. even the article above from the very reputable Life Extension Foundation is advising that a type of Vitamin E can lower them by as much as 28%. However I believe there is a more natural way to lower high triglycerides.
Dr. Mercola tells us: There are few absolutes in medicine, but I have yet to see someone with high triglycerides fail to respond to a comprehensive restriction of grain and sugar carbohydrates. I suspect there might be some cases out there, but I haven't seen them.
There is an excellent review of carbohydrate-induced high triglycerides, which thoroughly covers the history and science of my clinical observation, in the February2000 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Dr. Michael Eades tells us also that High Triglycerides are driven by carbohydrate consumption.
Dr. William Davis tells us : While dietary fats cause triglycerides to increase after eating, carbohydrates cause triglycerides to increase at all other times. This means that carbohydrates (starches), like breads, pasta, breakfast cereals, pretzels, crackers, potatoes, soft drinks, and candies increase fasting triglycerides if consumed habitually.
Yes I know that is only three links, but I can assure you that there are many more available should you choose to go search.
High Triglyceride Levels are not our friend. They are decidedly our foes and we must be prepared to do battle with them.
If you are not familiar with the Low Carbohydrate High Fat Lifestyle I suggest you do yourself and your loved ones an immense favour and learn about it – it could very well save your life – but as I can attest to – it definitely will give you a much better LIPID profile and lower triglycerides without resorting to toxic drugs.

This is a late post as school life has been hectic right before my recess week! So anyway, the end of our annual Singapore University Games (SuniG) came to an end after a mere 2 weeks.
I mean of course we only have 3 matches to play (only four schools participated for the women's volleyball: NUS NTU SMU SIM) This is my full team!
This is us fooling around right before our first match!
The standard pose to hide our over-exposed forehead (or mine anyway) hahaha!
Sent Chienwen to SIM the same day I drove from home cause she stay in the north as well! Champion team la good job Chienwen! Jump so freaking highhhh!!! hehehe.
No idea how I managed to amass such a big blue blacks from all the training.
Warming up before our last match! Okay our score goes like this.
First match: won SMU 3-1
Second match: lost NUS 1-3
Last match: lost SIM 0-3
So our overall position was third. Barely qualified for IVP next year omg. But okay nevermind, we're in and that's all that matters! Played really badly this season but next season we'll be back stronger than before!!

The West African Examination Council (WAEC), has released a statement concerning the arrest and parade of WASSCE question and answer syndicate by the Lagos State Command of the Nigerian Police.
The statement was released on the examination bodies official twitter handle- @Waecnigeria, thereby revealing the efforts of the members of the Lagos Police Command to apprehend the suspected culprits. Read the full press statement below.
WAEC Press Release
The attention of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), has been drawn to various publications in the media on the arrest and parade of some individuals belonging to the WASSCE question and answer syndicate by the Lagos State Command of the Nigeria Police.
The Council wishes to highly commend the efforts of the Security Agencies, particularly, the Nigeria Police which have been collaborating with it in the fight against examination malpractice. In particular, the Council wishes to commend the Inspector General of Police for directing the IGP Monitoring Team which have been collaborating with the Council in the past two years. This collaboration with the IGP Monitoring Team resulted with the arrest of some individuals connected with the Syndicate in different locations around the country early last year. The individuals were paraded at the Force Headquarters, Abuja and subsequently charged to court. The Council hopes that this collaboration will continue so as to checkmate the nefarious activities of these unscrupulous individuals.
However, the Council would like to emphasize that the question papers for the ongoing WASSCE for School Candidates , 2018 did not leak as has been erroneously portrayed in the media.
Leakage can be said to have occurred when the question papers gets into hands of individuals who are not supposed to have them before the time scheduled on the timetable. Without any iota of doubt the Council wishes to state that no case of leakage has been established since the beginning of the examination.
Our monitoring and investigations of the ongoing examination have established the fact that certain School Principals, Invigilators, Supervisors and Candidates who had succeeded in smuggling mobile phones and other electronic devices into the examination hall, snap the question papers after the examination must have commenced and forward to their criminal collaborators who in turn provide solutions to the questions and send to their subscribers via rogue websites, sms, WhatsApp and other social media.
In addition, in several cases during our monitoring and investigations, it was discovered that question papers of previous examinations were photoshopped by this despicable elements to scam gullible candidates who patronize their rogue websites and WhatsApp platforms.
Therefore, we took the following measures to ensure that the question papers do not find their way out of the examination hall and that solutions do not get to the subscribing candidates in the examination hall:
- Thorough searching of the candidates before entering the examination hall;
- Banning of Supervisors and Invigilators from taking their mobile phones and other electronic devices into the examination hall;
- Briefing of School Principals on their vicarious liability should any of their candidates be caught with mobile phones or other electronic devices in the examination hall;
- Cancellation of Entire Results of candidates that brought mobile phones and other electronic devices into the examination hall.
An effective solution to the menace of rogue websites can either be the jamming of mobile networks within a specified radius in and around the examination halls or the shutting down of the internet throughout the country during the period of the examination as has been done in some countries but those are beyond the powers of the Council.
It is worthy of note that the Council has the capability and capacity to detect and punish candidates who must have benefited from the fraudulent activities of the operators of rogue websites and WhatsApp platforms.
Furthermore, the Council is willing to collaborate with well meaning Nigerians, Civil Society Groups, Corporate Organisations that are ICT inclined, Telecom Companies, States Ministries of Education, Deposit Money Banks, relevant Security Agencies, the Media and other stakeholders to neutralize the threat being posed by examination malpractice to education in Nigeria.
Once again, the Council wishes to reiterate that the integrity of the ongoing WASSCE for School Candidates, 2018 has not been compromised as no single case of leakage or foreknowledge has been established.
We want to assure the general public that the activities of the rogue websites and fraudulent WhatsApp platforms that peddle solved answers for a fee would not affect the integrity of the ongoing examination.
Best wishes from NGScholars!!!

My friend Laura in Washington makes a fantastic peanut-butter fudge, which just happens to be one of my husband's favorite treats. So when she promised she'd make him a batch for Christmas, he acted as if he'd just won the lottery.
"Did you go to the post office today?" he asked me nearly every day in December. "Did my fudge come yet?"
Finally, the object of his desire arrived. "Mmmmm! I can smell peanut butter right through the box," he said, holding the still-sealed package up to his nose and inhaling deeply.
"You look like one of those drug-sniffing police dogs," I said. "Why don't you just open the box and eat some fudge?"
"I want to savor the moment," he said.
Within five days, the whole pound of fudge had disappeared. I managed to get only one piece, and I had to sneak it out of the box while my husband was asleep. Still, he found out about it.
"There were 25 pieces of fudge when I went to bed," he said, narrowing his eyes at me. "Now there are only 24!"
"You actually counted the pieces?"
"I told you I wanted to savor it," he said.
When the fudge was gone, he stared at the empty box and whined. "I should have made it last longer! Now I won't be able to have any more until she sends me some next Christmas! Why didn't I ration it? Why did I have to be such a glutton?"
He carried on until I couldn't take it any longer.
"Look," I said, "why don't I get the recipe from Laura and try to make a batch of fudge for you?" At that point, I was willing to pay for a plane ticket for Laura to fly here and stay with us for a couple weeks and do nothing but make fudge...anything to stop his whining.
"She won't give you her secret recipe!" he said. "Why would she want to share her masterpiece with anyone else?"
Fortunately, Laura graciously e-mailed the recipe to me. I immediately studied it, wondering if I, a novice fudge-maker, could handle it. It looked pretty simple...until I read the "cook until 243 degrees or softball stage" part. I had no idea what a softball stage was. I guessed it meant the fudge formed big, squishy ball in the pot. But just to be safe, I thought it might be a good idea to buy a candy thermometer so I could cook the fudge to exactly the required 243 degrees.
I then set out to buy the ingredients. The basics were easy to find – sugar, evaporated milk, peanut butter, margarine and vanilla. But then came the marshmallow creme.
If the recipe had called for marshmallow fluff, I'd have been back home making fudge in 20 minutes. But three hours later, I still was walking up and down grocery aisles in search of the elusive creme. The story was pretty much the same everywhere I went.
"We had marshmallow creme before Christmas, but we sold out of it," the 134th store clerk informed me. "It's really popular during the holidays."
I'd wasted so much gas by then, making the fudge probably would have been cheaper if I'd have flown Laura to New Hampshire to do it.
Finally, at Walmart in Hooksett, I spotted a huge display, a virtual tower of marshmallow creme, at the end of the baking aisle. I honestly thought I was hallucinating because by then, I hadn't eaten for about four hours.
When I picked up a jar and discovered it wasn't a mirage, I had to stop myself from doing the "happy marshmallow dance" in the middle of the aisle.
"What took you so long?" my husband asked when I got home. "I thought you got lost! I'm going through fudge withdrawal!"
"I couldn't find the dumb marshmallow creme. I must have driven 90 miles until I finally found some in Hooksett."
"Well, I hope you stocked up on it then," he said.
I didn't want to tell him I'd bought only one jar.
After dinner that evening, I set to work on the fudge. I laid out all of the ingredients, measured them, and then unwrapped the new candy thermometer I'd bought. I was ready.
The beginning of the procedure went pretty smoothly. The margarine melted and the sugar dissolved nicely into the evaporated milk. As the temperature increased in the pot, the mixture began to bubble. I stirred faster. The mixture bubbled harder. I shoved the thermometer into the pot. It read 235 degrees. I removed the thermometer because it was in my way when I tried to stir.
A couple minutes later, I tried the thermometer again. It read 240. I panicked. That was close enough for me. I removed the pot from the stove and quickly added the marshmallow creme and peanut butter.
Trying to stir two ultra-sticky ingredients into an even stickier substance required the biceps of Hercules. By the time everything was blended together, I felt as if I'd just worked out at the gym. Finally, I poured my masterpiece into the greased pan. I'd noticed that Laura had put a nice swirled pattern all over the top of her fudge, so I grabbed a butter knife and tried to make swirls with it. It was like dipping the knife into gravy.
Two hours later, the fudge still was the consistency of cake icing. My husband, who'd been impatiently awaiting his treat, critically eyed the results of my efforts.
He stuck his finger into the fudge and then licked it.
"Can't even taste the peanut butter," he said. "It just tastes like cooked sugar."
I felt my sore hands clenching into fists. "Then you're not going to eat it?"
"Not unless you bake a cake to go with it...so I can use it for frosting. No offense, but I think Laura would be embarrassed if you told people this was her recipe."
Tomorrow, I'm going to buy Laura a plane ticket.

Why Source Parts from Linton
- Get the right replacement part or retrofit for any Linton, Kayex or Hamco crystal-growing furnace, even for parts that are no longer available.
- Other manufacturers may offer the recommended substitute for unavailable parts, but these are not always one-to-one matches and may or may not function properly in your grower
- Many parts incorporate technology from patents LCT holds and we are the sole providers of those parts.
- Technical support works to complement your team's level of expertise, helping ensure that your parts are installed correctly
Simple Parts Ordering Process
- We can offer one of several options, as well as consulting support to help you decide:
- Cost of the part and detailed instructions for installing it
- Cost of the part and remote technical telephone and email support options
- We also can provide technical field staff to perform your installation on site.
Replacements and Retrofits
Direct replacements or retrofits are available, customized to meet your precise needs.
Direct replacements: Typically available for newer furnaces and particularly for consumable parts such as motors that have a limited lifetime and need replacement at regular intervals. When direct replacements aren't available, we develop a retrofit from the original design specifications. Most retrofits are for growers that are 10 years old or more, often for parts that become obsolete quickly such as computers and sensors.
Note: We can replace every part on every furnace ever made by Linton and its predecessor companies, Kayex and Hamco. However, retrofitting growers that are near end-of-life is usually not cost effective.
As a general guideline, crystal-growing furnaces have an average lifetime of 20 to 30 years so most equipment from the 1990s can be supported, as can some 1980s models. But few if any from the 1970s and earlier are cost-effective to keep in production once they need new parts.
To learn more about how we can help you find and install the parts you need, contact Gary Goyette, email@example.com, +1 (585) 666-1546.

An Alabama high school teacher's Facebook rant against some student pranksters has her in hot water.
Cindy Stephens is a teacher and band director at Sylvania High School in Sylvania. Police said four recently graduated students used a spreader to coat the roads around the school with a mixture made from chicken excrement on Tuesday.
Stephens took to Facebook to vent her frustration at having to clean part of the mess up, and wrote that she hoped the boys will be sexually assaulted in jail for their prank. Community members were "appalled" and "disgusted" by the teacher's remarks, according to WAFF.
Stephens wrote:
Senior prank my a$$![...] My morning was spent sweeping that crap off the sidewalk to the band room. Now my nose is running off my face and I am suffering an allergy attack. We know who did it and my sincerest hope is that you become someone [sic] b!+** in jail, and you are paying restitution for the next 10 years! YOU SUCK!!!!!
Administrators caught wind of the public post after community members complained. They've suspended Stephens with pay while they investigate. They say what Stephens wrote wasn't appropriate, and that teachers need to be more careful about what they write on social media.
"The best thing to do is to go to a quiet place, maybe talk with your family," DeKalb County school board member Matt Sharp said, according to NBC affiliate WAFF. "Don't put it on Facebook."
Stephens has since deleted her Facebook account, according to the New York Daily News.
The students behind the prank were caught and ordered to perform 120 hours of community service. Sylvania Police Chief Ross Greenwood told the Associated Press that the students are extremely remorseful, and have agreed to pay for the cleanup, which cost Sylvania and DeKalb County thousands of dollars.
"We don't want to mark the kids' record for the rest of their lives for a stupid mistake, but they're going to have to be punished for what they did, too," Greenwood told WAFF.
If any of the students fail to complete their punishments, all four will face charges, police said.

2MFGC 2808: a galaxy in the field of SV Ari
SX Trius Pro 814
Johnson-V filter
I've often noticed a background galaxy in the field of SV Ari but never paid it much attention. A week or so ago the VS was too faint to be detected --- below 19.9 in V. This time, though, I looked at the galaxy properly. As can be seen, it's a nice edge-on spiral with a prominent equatorial dust band and a nuclear bulge. Not much has been found about it on the web, other than its position, catalogue number and near-IR magnitudes. A fairly poor image appears in the DSS2 and shows the galaxy to be rather red. I used APT with a 23x6 arcsec aperture to measure its integrated brightness at V=16.46 +/- 0.05. The catalogued magnitudes are J=12.947, H=12.060 and K=11.690, in line with its apparent redness.
The red shift seems not to have been measured. It may be a little too faint for the spectroscopists here but it would be a worthy challenge in my opinion. At least it is high in the sky for a good number of hours each night for UK observers. Assuming it is about the same size as M31, M51 and the MW, which have absolute magnitudes of -21.5, -21.1 and -20.9 respectively, its distance modulus becomes around 37.5 which suggests a distance of around 300 Mpc. Assuming my arithmetic is correct, z should be around 0.09.

The site is well-connected to the Pan-Island Expressway, Central Expressway and the Seletar Expressway, providing breezy access throughout the island. By the year 2020, the new North-South Expressway will allow quick, hassle-free daily travel to the CBD and back. The site is also within a easy walk from the site of the upcoming Mayflower Station (Thomson Line), which will also be ready by 2020.

The area is full of malls and shopping centres, where you will find retail shops, supermarkets, banks, restaurants, and others. There's the AMK Hub, Greenwich V, Junction 8, NEX, Compass Point, and the much-awaited Seletar Mall. Singapore's world-renowned shopping belt, Orchard Road, isn't too far away, being only within a ten-minute drive.For fresh produce, you can head for the AMK Avenue 4 Food Centre, Block 162 Market and Food Centre, or the Mayflower Wet Market.
Sports and Recreation
For you sports lovers out there, you can head for YioChuKang Sports Complex, Singapore Islands Country Club, or Seletar Country Club.
The Panorama is surrounded by rolling green spaces, giving you a chance to stay close to nature without stepping too far away from the city. Bishan Park is just a short walk away – it's an instant idyll that you can retreat to at any day. There, you can take a break at the Pond Gardens, the River Plains, or by the Kallang River. Also nearby are the AMK Town Garden, and Peirce Reservoir Park.
Many Singapore families seek to move to the AMK area because it's so close to a number of prestigious schools. Right next to the Panorama is CHIJ- Saint Nicholas Girls' School, an all-girls Catholic school with primary and secondary levels. Just a stone's throw away are Anderson Secondary and Anderson JC. Your older children would probably want to get into a prestigious school for their college education, like James Cook University, or Nanyang Polytechnic.
Also in the area are a lot of preschools and child care centers, like Little Harvard, Bethesda Kindergarten, and Pies Schoolhouse. For school-age children, there are primary and secondary institutions like AMK Primary, AMK Secondary, Peirce Secondary, and Mayflower Secondary.
A one-bedroom unit at The Panorama sells for as low as $565,000; a two-bedroom unit and a two bedroom + study are at least $820,000 and $905,000 respectively. A three-bedroom apartment, meanwhile, goes upward from $1,175,000. You know that a good home is always worth much more than your investment.

dope, February 17, 2016
I can put body of works on repeat for days. Beat and lyrics are so hard. Feel like I can conquer the planet when I hear that song bump.
Really dig the album. Brings back crazy hip hop memories I had at their shows and just kicking it. Fresh duo of Emcees. Poetic, insightful and street grime styles. Some of the best underground hip hop to come out of So Cal and beyond.
Sick artists, March 3, 2013
Isor one is a dope MC. He's gotta really fresh unique style on the mic unlike anyone you've heard. He's gotta deep voice like a J5 type of tone but can rhyme with multi tempos at points even faster then bone thuggs. Max Carnage has a true passion for making hip hop beats and is always down to throw down a verse. Don't underestimate this album, it can easily make the top 10 of all these indy artists that are unheard of below the major underground hip hop market
Amazing Album, March 3, 2013
Its an album no matter what style of hip hop you like you will never regret buying. These guys are extremely talented, there not just on a beat machine like most producers. They do live instrumentation and turn tablism similar to that of Kid Koala. Definitely gotta copp it, some of the freshest Indy hip hop music coming out of San Diego.

July 11, 2014 — The Texas Center for Proton Therapy received its new cyclotron this month, and the center is expected to treat its first patients in early 2016. The center is a collaboration of Texas Oncology, the US Oncology Network and McKesson Specialty Health.
The new cyclotron is the only second-generation proton therapy technology in Texas and is the centerpiece of the Irving-Las Colinas facility. The cyclotron, a magnet-packed particle accelerator, creates protons that travel up to two-thirds the speed of light through a 143-foot beamline – nearly half the length of a football field – to the patient's tumor with pinpoint accuracy.
The therapy is especially beneficial for treating cancers requiring extreme precision such as tumors in the brain, eye, spine, head and neck, as well as pediatric patients. The beam's exceptional accuracy minimizes side effects and damage to surrounding healthy tissue and enables patients to maintain their quality of life during and after treatment.
"Texas Oncology is excited to bring this remarkable technology to the area to help create more cancer survivors. The size and weight of the cyclotron belie the precision that this form of radiation treatment delivers in destroying cancer cells," said Steven Paulson, M.D., chairman and president of Texas Oncology. "The proton therapy center reaffirms our commitment to create more hope for cancer patients by adding leading-edge technology to complement the existing array of advanced cancer treatment choices for the 119,000 Texans that will be diagnosed with cancer this year."
The arrival of the cyclotron marks the end of a complex, month-long odyssey for the equipment. Manufactured by Ion Beam Applications S.A. in Belgium, the 220-ton cyclotron was shipped in two sections, bolted to the hull of the ship to balance the unusually heavy cargo and to prevent capsizing. After more than 5,000 miles at sea, the cyclotron traveled from the Port of Houston to Irving by land, on two 19-axle trucks via an indirect route due to its massive size and weight. A specialized crane then carefully hoisted it into place in the facility.
"The delivery of the cyclotron is an impressive logistical feat that signifies an important construction milestone. We're pleased to have completed one more step in bringing this advanced treatment to North Texas," said Kirk Kaminsky, president of the US Oncology Network and provider services for McKesson Specialty Health.
Although physical construction of the center, with a fixed beam and two isocentric gantry treatment rooms, is more than 80 percent complete, highly technical work will fill the next several months as the advanced technology behind the lifesaving treatment is carefully set, calibrated and tested.
"Physicists and engineers from IBA and Texas Oncology physicists will be on site to manage the meticulous calibration and testing of the proton beam equipment," said Gary Barlow, director of the Texas Center for Proton Therapy. "What makes this therapy so effective is its extraordinary precision in targeting the proton beams on the tumor. To do that, we have to calibrate the machine to submillimeter accuracy."
