Are Central Banks Losing Control Over Interest Rates?
In the following article, Mountain Vision points to the potential effects of the "debt trap." Debts have mounted to record highs. The associated financing costs tend to be high as well, but these costs are becoming unsustainable when interest rates start increasing. Record low interest rates have one characteristic in common: they have much more upside than downside potential.
What happens to an insolvent state when, due to rising interest rates, financing costs suddenly multiply? That question is certainly being asked in Japan. The Japanese Central Bank, under the lead of Mr. Shinzo Abe, has been 'printing' money at an increasing rate in its attempt to stave off deflation. To Mr. Abe's great dismay, interest rates too have been on the rise.
Interes rates – 10 year Government Bonds in Japan
Since March, the yield on the 10-year government bond has doubled. As Japan's government now has to pay much higher rates of interest on its bonds – rates that have risen substantially across all maturities – to finance its debt and deficits, Abe may find himself having to run that printing press even faster. At what point will he hit the wall? Hard to say, but I would not recommend standing between Abe and the wall at this point!
Meanwhile, in America, yields have moved upwards again as well. It is in this context that we need to consider the most recent minutes released by the Federal Reserve after its last Advisory Council and Board of Governors meeting.
A number of surprisingly cautious and candid comments regarding America's economic state and the potential drawbacks of quantitative easing were made. In particular, the Fed acknowledged that a "breakout of inflation" is a risk, and that once interest rates start climbing, Americans' bank deposits could be jeopardized. Moreover, the Fed admitted that there may be no easy exit from QE: "It will likely be difficult to unwind policy accommodation, and the end of monetary easing may be painful for consumers and businesses."
Interes rates – 10 year Government Bonds in the US
A similar pattern can be observed for German government bonds. Interest rates have been rising there too. And, what about the other European countries like Spain, Italy, or France? Those countries certainly have debt and financing issues to deal with. All of their interest rates have started to rise – albeit not at Japan's rate, or that of the U.S. – but enough to warrant our attention. Might the European debt crisis be about to erupt again?
Interes rates – 10 year Government Bonds in France
Bernanke, Draghi & Co. are certainly intent on keeping markets in a good mood; after all, most people fall prey to the assumption that if stock markets are up, the recovery can't be far behind. That is unfortunately a misperception. The fundamental issues, namely the flaws of a fiat currency system, the decades of loose monetary policies, and the resulting effects of large-scale debt and capital misallocation, are still the dominant themes and key drivers today.
While financial markets have been relatively positive, the real economic data globally points toward low growth and difficult times. Higher interest rates will certainly not bode well for recovery.

Top 10 Oral Health Resolutions
January 3rd, 2011
A new year can mean a healthier you!
These ten resolutions are simple steps you can take to improve your teeth and gums this year - you may even improve your overall health while you're at it.
1. Start fresh - Replace your toothbrush or power toothbrush head if it has been 3 months since you last started using a new one – or if you have recently been sick, or if the indicator on the brush tells you it's time (even if it has been over 3 months and the indicator looks fine) OR if someone else decided to use your brush!
2. Brush for at least two minutes at least twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste.
When? A good time to brush is after eating breakfast and then again after you have finished eating and drinking for the day. If you can brush during the day, after meals is a great time. Use a stop-watch or timer if you need to. We have some here if you need one.
3. Keep your toothbrush far away from the toilet.
It's always wise to flush the toilet with the lid closed as germs can spray way up into the air (at least that's what we've been told).
4. Floss daily. Use about 18 inches of dental floss and floss in between every tooth. To see a video on good flossing form, please visit this YOU TUBE Video.
5. Reduce your soda, citrus, and carbonated beverage consumption.
If you are going to drink these beverages, it may be wise to drink them through a straw and limit the amount of time spent drinking. If you want a soda, have it in one sitting, instead of prolonged sipping. (See Dr. Ejaz Ali's Beverage Do's and Don'ts).
6. Schedule your dental cleaning and checkups for the year.
Calling early in the year will usually help you find a convenient date and time. Some people may require cleanings or specialized treatments more often, including pregnant women and those who have periodontal disease. Professional cleanings are important for your health - the hygienist is able to remove built up tartar and look for signs of infection, like gingivitis. Gingivitis is reversible but periodontal disease is NOT!
7. Do you have bleeding gums?
If you haven't addressed those bleeding gums with your dentist, 2011 is a perfect time, especially if you have diabetes. One of the newest concerns is that those with increased blood sugar levels are having a harder time controlling their gum health. Please visit Joslin Diabetes Center's information on dental health and diabetes to learn more.
8. Schedule an advanced oral cancer screening for your next dental visit if it has been a year or more since your last screening.
Not sure if you've been screened? Check with your dentist – advanced oral cancer screenings use additional technology that may aid in earlier detection. We've also learned a lot about the HPV and oral cancer connection in 2010 - that's why we recommend this screening for young patients who may not have normal risk factors like tobacco and alcohol use.
9. Protect your dental investment by wearing your retainer or nightguard!
Save yourself from needing braces again by wearing the retainer your orthodontist made for you. Teeth will and do shift. If you own a nightguard, wearing it nightly will help protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding. Grinding and clenching the teeth during sleep can wear away your enamel, putting you at risk for decay and increased tooth sensitivity. Waking up with a headache and sore neck every morning could be because you are clenching your jaw - a nightguard is an added defense against this.
10. YOU DESERVE a healthy smile!
Oral health tends to be one area of health that people neglect or feel awkward about caring about. Maybe it's a fear of the dentist that keeps you away, which we understand. There are many options, such as sedation dentistry, that can allow fearful patients get hours worth of work done with minimal discomfort. Discussing sedation options with your dentist might help relax you. Getting dental problems fixed and spending a few minutes a day brushing and flossing is not being selfish. You deserve to have the best oral health possible – and it's absolutely within reach!

Well celebrity hairstylist Johnnie Sapong is aiming to break the mould with his new London salon. Fresh from transforming actress Cynthia Nixon's tresses for the Sex and the City 2 UK film premiere, Sapong opened up The Studio this week on the top floor of the Lazarides Gallery in Rathbone Place featuring a "one basin, one chair" concept - going one better than fellow hairdresser Paul Merrit whose new salon features just two. VOGUE.COM spoke to Sapong to find out more: "Unlike everyday salons there is just one basin, one chair and me to offer a fully focussed service. The idea behind it is that everything is bespoke, from the cut and colour to the treatments prescribed, to the aftercare programme I advise to keep hair looking healthy. Everyone's hair is very different so people need a hair appointment tailored, in every way, just for them."

Samsung has today announced two new devices which are joining the rather broad Galaxy range family.We had seen these devices hitting the news recently in various rumors, leaks and pre-release information however now they can be formally introduced. Meet the Samsung Galaxy A3 and Samsung Galaxy A5. Both devices are relatively mid-range (compared to Samsung's flagship devices) but both come rather well specced nonetheless. The most notable features of the A3 and A5 is that they are both rather thin devices and come with full metal constructed bodies. The A3 and A5 are being touted by Samsung towards the younger generation with a high emphasis on the selfie culture and social networking. To sum up and in Samsung own words the A3 and A5 are "beautifully crafted full metal unibody, slim design, superior hardware and the best possible social media experience".
To add to their youthful nature both the A3 and A5 will come in a variety of colours including Pearl White, Midnight Black, Platinum Silver, Soft Pink, Light Blue and Champagne Gold. While being colourful they are also the slimmest devices Samsung have ever made with the A3 measuring 6.7mm and the A5 6.9mm. As they are designed for socializing both the A3 and A5 come with 5MP front facing camera so the selfies you upload to your social networks will show you in the best possible light. As well as the decent MP level, the devices also come with selfie oriented software features. These include what Samsung dub Wide Selfie, Palm Selfie, Animated GIF feature and a Beauty Face feature to presumably add the perfect finishing touch to your selfie image. It is also worth noting Samsung have introduced a feature which automatically detects and focuses on users faces to help further snap the perfect selfie. There are similarities between the two on the inside too. Both the A3 and A5 come with Super AMOLED displays and utilizing Adaptive Display Technology. In addition, both the A3 and A5 come loaded with a 1.2GHz Quad-core processor. Now the similarities between the two are known its time to quickly look at what each device offers individually.
The Samsung Galaxy A3
The Samsung A3 comes with a 4.5" qHD Super AMOLED display with a 960 x 540 resolution (245ppi). Inside the A3 comes with 1GB RAM and the already mentioned 1.2GHz Quad-core processor. In terms of memory the A3 offers 16GB internal storage and the optional microSD card slot (up to 64GB). As well as the front facing 5MP selfie camera there is also an 8MP rear camera provided. Additional features of the A3 include a 1,900mAh battery, 4G, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC (LTE version only). The A3 measures 130.1 x 65.5 x 6.9mm, weighs 110.3g and will come running on Android 4.4 (KitKat).
The Samsung Galaxy A5
The Samsung A5 is the bigger of the two devices offering a 5" HD Super AMOLED display with a 1280 x 720 resolution (294ppi). Inside the A5 offers an increased 2GB RAM along with the same 1.2GHz processor. In terms of memory the A5 also offers 16GB internal storage along with the microSD card slot (up to 64GB). As well as the 5MP front facing camera the A5 comes with an increased 13MP rear shooter (with LED flash). Additional features offered on the A5 include a 2,300mAh battery, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC (LTE variant only). The A5 measures 139.3 x 69.7 x 6.7mm, weighs slightly more at 123g and also comes running on Android 4.4 (KitKat)
If you like the look of either the A3 or the A5 then both devices will be available to purchase in November and are set to be released in "Select Markets" including China. Unfortunately, prices and further availability was not provided although it will only be a matter of time before we know more. So what do you think of the A3 and A5 and their more social and selfie nature? Which would you go for?

Facials, Skin Care & Cosmetic Injections for Facial Rejuvenation and Non-Surgical Augmentation of Lips, Cheeks, Brows, Temples, Noses & Chins
Heard about our high tech skin care and the latest Face Treatments in Melbourne?
The latest in skin rejuvenation and anti-ageing Face Treatments for healthier, smoother looking skin
With the latest technologies for skin and facial rejuvenation including Healite II treatment options, our Coco Ruby Team can assist you to have:
- smoother, even-toned skin
- less visible lines and wrinkles
- more radiant skin
- reduced scar visibility (scar minimisation)
- reduced pigmentation such as reduced Melasma
- fewer acne breakouts and clearer skin
How long after a skin treatment before you see results?
Each person and each treatment varies in terms of effects and visibility of these effects. Ask your Clinician for details so you know what to expect, and how to care for your skin immediately BEFORE and AFTER a skin treatment such as SkinPen, DermaPen skin needling, Fraxel Lasers or DOT Therapy.
- For Acne, it can take 3 months to up to a year to get clearer skin.
- But with the right products and at-home approaches, if you follow your Dermal Clinician's suggestions carefully, you'll end up with less reactive skin.
For treatments such as Melasma, results are usually visible in a few weeks time – you'll look fresher right away but you'll have some downtime with Dermamalen.
Skin Changes after facial treatments or laser treatments tend to occur cumulatively – your skin care regime can be adapted to seasonal effects and appearance concerns.
- But many of these facial treatments and skin care regimes, including DOT Therapy (CO2 laser therapy), Fraxel or even Obagi home care systems, the results are cumulative.
- Some treatments also require a few repeated sessions for optimal results.
So you may notice a fresher-looking skin appearance in just a few weeks, but the overall results take up to 3 months to a year to see, because the skin will be rejuvenating itself over time.
Dermal Fillers, Lip Fillers and Anti-Wrinkle Injections
- Lip fillers usually give results you can see, somewhat immediately.
- But cheek filler injections and other injections (double chin injections, for example), can take several weeks to a few months to see the full effects.
- It relates to the binding effects of the cosmetic injections using dermal fillers.

The Final Division
"Arcadius, who then was about eighteen years of age, was born in Spain in the humble habitation of a private family. But he received a princely education in the palace of Constantinople; and his inglorious life was spent in that peaceful and splendid seat of royalty, from whence he appeared to reign over the provinces of Thrace, Asia Minor, Syria, and Egypt, from the Lower Danube to the confines of Persia and Ætheopia. His younger brother, Honorius, assumed, in the eleventh year of his age, the nominal government of Italy, Africa, Gaul, Spain, and Britain; and the troops which guarded the frontiers of his kingdom were opposed, on one side, to the Caledonians, and on the other to the Moors. The great and martial præfecture of Illyricum was divided between the two princes: the defence and possession of the provinces of Noricum, Pannonia, and Dalmatia, still belonged to the Western empire; but the two large dioceses of Dacia and Macedonia, which Gratian had intrusted to the valour of Theodosius, were for ever united to the empire of the East. The boundary in Europe was not very different from the line which now separates the Germans from the Turks; and the respective advantages of territory, riches, populousness, and military strength, were fairly balanced and compensated in this final and permanent division of the Roman empire."
– The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chapter XXIX, Edward Gibbon (1776)
In 395AD the Roman Empire was divided for the last time between East and West.
The Western Roman Empire quickly went into decline, culminating in the fall of Ravenna (the new Imperial capital) and the deposition of the appropriately-named Romulus Augustus, the last Roman Emperor of the West.
The Eastern Roman Empire on the other hand survived for another 1058 years. Ruled from Constantinople (formerly Byzantium – hence, Byzantine Empire, a definition imposed by later-era historians), and heir to the rich lands of Anatolia and Egypt, its fortunes waxed and waned along with its borders.
Under continuous threat from enemies both within and without, the Byzantines fought a series of wars the length and breadth of their empire, and ultimately suffered their own decline after the disaster of Manzikert (1071AD) and the events of the Fourth Crusader (1204AD).
When the city of Constantinople was conquered in 1453AD by the forces of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmet II, it was not only the end of the Byzantines but also of the last vestige of the traditional Roman state – a link to another world, another time.
In this series (which should be semi-regular for the next few months) I'd like to examine the events that shaped the Byzantine Empire from its (traditionally defined) formation to its fall; and in the process hopefully discover what made the Byzantines so enduring, unique, and interesting.
Next Part: Reconquering the West


text: My friend wanted an adventure. We decided to do these four on the 52 WAV list. We did a car spot so we would come out on Langdon. We started up Davis Path to Crawford. Nice trail...steady up. Was just a couple of small tiny monorails left. The rest was clear. The views from Crawford are very pretty. I was surprised to see no snow on Washington. There was a cool breeze. We put on jackets, ate some lunch and just took it all in. After a nice rest, we headed to Stairs. We had gotten a lot of looks because we were carrying snowshoes but I heard there was deep snow in the col between Resolution and Parker. We wanted to be prepared. Our way over to Stairs was riddled in partial monorails, snow and rivers of water. It was challenging to not posthole but wasn't enough to put snowshoes on...we struggled over until we hit the summit of Stairs. Didn't stay long...headed back down to the junction for Resolution. We decided to put snowshoes on. The snow was much deeper and we were getting sick of the up down business plus feet were getting wet. It was easier going with the snowshoes but then there would be patches of no snow. So off/on was the how it went. We made it to Resolution but didn't stay long there either as none of us wanted to dig out our jackets because of the cool wind...so off we headed and ...back on the snowshoes went. It looked like no one had come that way in a long while. We managed to go along and sometimes just left the snowshoes on and walked on the dry land because snow was coming up again and we were just tired of the off/on bit. We made it to Parker. Snapped a pic. At this point it was 6:30ish so we continued on. Saw a cool spotted salamander in a post hole...put him on safer ground. Once the snow was gone, the leaves took their places...slipping and sliding hoping nothing would catch our feet and trip us up. Very pretty areas on this trail. Got down just before dark. Great day to be out adventuring!

all it took was one day, a little human error (my daily IV bag only got half the usual amount of vitaminC that i'm working with... of 100g, only 50g got injected) plus a little emotional tweak (got news that mum was narrowly prevented from punching one of the other older ladies at the nursing home in the face, which means that i have to move her AGAIN, this time to a long-term venue that can handle where the dementia will take her).... i woke up this morning and the tumour had regrown back into the shape it was in about four days ago, before i started to see that really dramatic reduction each morning. it hasn't completely grown back to the proportions it assumed at its zenith, but its certainly gaining on me again.
for the first time since this whole ordeal began in june, i sat down at the kitchen table, exhausted and overwrought at 6am, and just cried. i had to release some of the stress of all this up and down, knowing and not-knowing. i sucked it up and pressed on with my day and by the afternoon when it was time for my IV, i reported my unfortunate news and asked my green team to take me into uncharted territory, bump me up to 125g vitaminC.... since i'd been doing so well at 100g, 150g was suggested, and of course i jumped at it.
well, i won't IV 150g vitaminC again. it was 6 hours of agony, four shots of lidocaine did nothing for the pain. right arm worse for wear and quite swollen, but as soon as it was over the pain stopped and i had a profound sense of well-being. i put arnica gel all over my arms and the track marks and they will be right as rain in morning.
it is absolutely necessary for my learning that i develop skill where none exists, and right now i have to solve the puzzle of how to protect myself from these backslides, and how to quickly right wrong turns. i'm very thin and weak, so having to redo work done is not something i can sustain.
green team will work with me through to sunday, our one day off, then we resume on monday.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Cold fronts may be creeping across the majority of the U.S., but Orlando is still warm and sunny, making it a perfect destination for winter travelers looking for reprieve from the frosty weather.
Travel and booking site TripAdvisor announced the City Beautiful as the No. 1 winter travel destination where Americans can save based on search interest and average weekly cost.
"Americans thinking past the holidays and booking their winter vacations may want to consider traveling soon after the New Year, when some of the best rates are available," Brooke Ferencsik, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor, said in a press release. "Based on TripAdvisor booking data, those that visit these hotspots during mid-late January can save an average of 16 percent compared to February or March."
For Orlando, the least expensive winter week is Jan. 16-22, which is 14 percent cheaper than booking during the most expensive week -- March 13-19. Guests can expect to spend, on average, $150 per night on a hotel room, $330 on a domestic roundtrip flight, $23 per meal and $76 for tours for a total of $1,870.
Based on that price, Orlando beat out hot spots like Las Vegas (No. 2), Cancun, Mexico (No. 3) plus Fort Lauderdale (No. 4) and Key West (No. 10).

There is a tradition in my family that every Christmas and Easter there is nut roll, a sweet bread filled with finely ground walnuts or poppy. Also, known as kolache, this is Czech/Slovak sweet pastry. Only these two times of year is nut roll made and eaten. My grandma used to make it, then my mom, and now me. I am the official nut roll maker of the family.
This is no ordinary recipe either. Making the nut roll is an all day event. The recipe makes 18 of these things. I use 4 lbs of walnuts for the filling. I made a batch to take home to PA for Christmas for my mom. She gives them away to different relatives, takes them to Christmas parties, etc. Unfortunately, the DH and I had no nut roll for our own. Thus, I made nut roll for the DH and I over the past couple days.
What a nice little addition to our coffee this week. Yum, Yum.

New Dodge Grand Caravan and Several Safety Features
When you are in the market for a family minivan, you'll want to look closer at the new Dodge Grand Caravan. These are a few of the safety features packed into this vehicle.
Put the new Dodge Grand Caravan in reverse and the dash screen turns into a camera for you to see what is directly behind your vehicle. The ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera makes it easier to see if any children are playing behind your vehicle or if the coast is clear when backing out of a tight parking space.
The new Dodge Grand Caravan comes with the All-Speed Traction Control for making driving n the roads safe too. The way the feature works, it monitors each wheel slippage. If this occurs, the feature applies adequate brake pressure to slipping wheels or reduces engine power to allow the driver to maintain traction and stability.
Give the Dodge Grand Caravan a test drive when you stop by University Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today!

Edouard Montpetit College (French: Collège Édouard-Montpetit) is a 20th century college located in Longueuil, Canada, used as a Romulan holodeck setting. (RIS Bouteina: "We're All In This Together")
Prior to defeating Laval University in the Longueuil Cup Final in 2291, the Lynx defeated the Tufts University Jumbos in the Longueuil Cup semifinals and the University of Tampere Atalpas earlier in the tournament. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Super-Jupiter Beacon")
It was one of the finalists of the 2291 Longueuil Cup, winning it by a narrow margin over Laval University on the latter school's home field, the PEPS. (RIS Bouteina: "Eidolon", Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Alcoholic Massacre, Part II")
It also was a signatory of the New York Convention. (RIS Bouteina: "New York Convention")
Alongside the University of Montreal, Concordia University, Laval University as well as a number of Quebec CEGEPs and universities, the students of Edouard Montpetit College went on strike in 2012 to protest a tuition hike enacted by Jean Charest, with their union, the AGECEM. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Rode the 300")
EMC won its semifinal bracket against Tufts University and won an early-round game against University of Tampere. (Star Trek: The Stoneship Files: "Super-Jupiter Beacon")
Edouard Montpetit College is the college-level alma mater of the RIS Bouteina series' author, Yvan Ung. Due to the subtleties of Quebecer education, college education is taken prior to university education. The holodeck program was deliberately chosen to be set after the author's graduation from that college so much as to minimize self-insertion.
It was also one of the hardest hit colleges from the 2012 Quebec student strike in actuality, going on strike for nearly six months.

"John McDonough engages listeners from the very beginning of this gentle story of Freddy the pig and his friends. Freddy is a poet whose good nature leads him to the aid of his many pals, including a robin in need of glasses, a boy in need of new clothes, and wildcat cubs in need of an education. McDonough treats the animal and human voices with equal depth and care, giving each character his or her own identity. McDonough brings this classic story to life for all listeners, those who remember the original publication in 1945 and those first discovering Freddy and his friends. W.V.S.

This video shows something in common between these men. Each of them can develop properly more than one activity.
«What if I can do more than one thing?» that is what I think.
«No. You have to choose one of them.» Says the system.
«But, Why? What if I have more that one interest?» it was my question.
«No, that is no possible». It is a generalized conclusion that I have received.
Well, I gonna say that sometimes, I thought something was wrong with me. And at times it was even a bit frustrating.
This happened until I accepted that I am a Multipotentialite.
How did I know this? Once while I was watching TED's videos, I found this girl, that I'd like to introduce you. Emilie Wapnick.

Alexandra Christian Social Media
Alexandra Christian is an author of mostly romance with a speculative slant. Her love of Stephen King and sweet tea has flavored her fiction with a Southern Gothic sensibility that reeks of Spanish moss and deep-fried eccentricity. Her guiding principle as a romance novelist has always been to write romantic adventures for people who think they hate romances. After all, love itself is life's greatest adventure.
A self-proclaimed "Southern Belle from Hell," Lexx is a native South Carolinian who lives with an epileptic wiener dog and her husband, author Tally Johnson. In addition to her writing, she also has unhealthy obsessions with Sherlock Holmes and Star Wars. Her long-term aspirations are to one day be a best-selling authoress and part-time pinup girl. She's also a member of Romance Writers of America.

Human Rights Channel Year in Review Highlights Importance of Citizen Witnesses
WITNESS' Human Rights Channel created a montage of important citizen video it curated throughout the year. You can watch it here:
As Madeleine Bair, the Channel's curator, wrote in a blog post accompanying the video's release:
In 2013, the Human Rights Channel curated nearly 2300 videos from 100 countries. Collectively, they reveal not only what citizen journalists filmed this year, but how that video was seen and used. Never before have YouTube videos brought egregious abuse to such influential audiences. But as the importance of citizen video becomes clear, so too do the challenges it involves, including the need for verification and the potential of misuse.
We're heartened to see that Fast Company, in its coverage of the video's release, notes the importance of verification in the work we do.

New for 2019 !!! Blue Cross Medicare Advantage Plans can have dental coverage added! ( dental and vision for as little as $ 23.00) The phone number is 888-563-3307. This office will be considered OUT of the Network, so the coverage will be %50. Up to $ 2500 of coverage is very useful! Call Kathy with any questions.
On December 31, 2018, the TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP) contract and dental benefits under the current Department of Defense program will end. However, dental coverage for military retirees and family members will be offered under the Federal Employee Dental and Vision Insurance Program (FEDVIP). This change, contained in the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA 2017), means that your military retiree patients and their family members will need to select a new FEDVIP plan in the fall of this year for coverage effective January 1, 2019.
We want as many military retirees as possible to have an easy transition into the FEDVIP. It's our goal to simplify the transition from the TRDP to the FEDVIP for both the military retirees as well as the dentists who treat them. In order to prevent a gap in coverage, TRDP patients and their family members must take action and enroll during the 2018 Federal Benefits Open Season at between November 12, 2018 and December 10, 2018. Delta Dental offers coverage in the FEDVIP as well with two coverage options available for your patients.
Patients can find more information at TRICARE.benefeds.com.

It really has been a while since the last Blog. Just doing business and fixing teeth! If you have friends or relatives who would like to give this office a try, let them know how you feel about us! People are more inclined to visit a new office if they are told how much their patients love them!!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Tavius was a high-ranking member of Emperor Nero's court in Rome. Secretly a Christian, he and Maximus Pettulian plotted to kill Nero in 64.
He tried to purchase Barbara Wright as a slave after seeing her concern for a fellow slave, but was told by Sevcheria that he could only bid for her at the slave auction. At the auction, he bid ten thousand sesterce for her and took her back to Nero's palace to serve the Empress Poppaea.
Tavius met with the First Doctor, whom he believed was Pettulian. He discussed his plans with the Doctor, to the Doctor's confusion.
Poppaea, jealous of Barbara, ordered Tavius to dismiss her. Tavius saw this as an opportunity to help Barbara escape. On Barbara's information, he warned the Doctor that Nero wanted to make him fight in the arena. He later encountered Ian Chesterton in the palace and helped him reunite with Barbara, and then helped them escape. (TV: The Romans)

The Blurb On The Back:
"I am a junior doctor. It is 4 a.m. I have run arrest calls, treated life-threatening bleeding, held the hand of a young woman dying of cancer, scuttled down miles of dim corridors wanting to sob with sheer exhaustion, forgotten to eat, forgotten to drink, drawn on every fibre of strength that I possess to keep my patients safe from harm."
Rachel Clarke's incredible memoir follows her journey as a junior doctor, offering a glimpse into a life spent between the dissection room and the mortuary, the bedside and the doctors' mess, exposing stark realities about today's NHS and what it means to be entrusted with carrying another's life in your hands.
Rachel was at the forefront of the historic junior doctor strikes in 2016, campaigning against the government and arguing across the press that imposing a contract on young doctors would irrevocably damage the NHS.
This book affects us all.

Defeat for Harwood
HARWOOD'S hopes of promotion-very slim even before the match-disappeared altogether as they fell to a disappointing defeat at the hands of Ashton United, who needed to win to make sure of not being relegated from the North West Counties Second Division.
Relegation-threatened United had the first half practically all to themselves, with Harwood "gifting" the home side their two goals and then finding themselves with a mountain to climb as they came more into the game in the second period.
Ashton took the lead after 15 minutes as Harwood defender Shaun Astin slipped and allowed Barry Howard to get in a free header at the far post from a left-wing cross.
And the home side added to their tally 15 minutes later in the most disappointing fashion as far as Harwood were concerned, as player-manager Harold Martin, in attempting a back pass, lobbed the ball over goalkeeper Dave Mottershead into his own net.
Harwood came more into the reckoning in the second half but a two-goal deficit was always going to take a lot of pulling back and Harwood could only manage one goal, scored by Mark Bennett 15 minutes from time after a shot by Martin had been blocked following a corner.
That goal came after something of a re-shuffle in the Harwood side, with striker Richard Dodd coming on as a substitute for the out-of-tough Mark Jones, who was playing at right back.
Simon Vercoe switched to right back, with Bennett moving back into midfield and Dodd joining Paul Goldsborough up front.
Town had a couple of chances after they scored their goal but as manager Malcolm Darling said after the game: "We got what we deserved-nothing."
Mr Darling added, "It was a poor performance all round, with the possible exceptions of Neil Callen and Dave Mottershead."
Harwood's line-up: Mottershead, Jones (sub. Dodd 75 mins), Astin, Martin, Callen, Vercoe, Geldard, Moran, Benko, Goldsborough, Bennett.

A few days ago, William and I recieved a letter from a friend of ours who left for the Peace Corps in Zambia a few weeks before we came to Australia, last week of January. Her experience so far sound unbelievable. It sounds like something straight our of a book. Actually it sounds really similar to the girls in Nine Hills to Nambonkaha. As our friend watched the Peace Corps SUV drive away she realized at that very moment how far away from anything she ever knew as familiar was miles and miles away. She was in the middle of nowehre in the middle of Africa. The house that was supposed to finished being built before her arrival and he was disheartended to find out that it was still missing a door, a window, the bath/latrine and part of the grass rooof…it was only half done. For the next few days she slept with a neighbor who had taken her under her wing. She is the only white woman in the village, lives in a grass hut, has plans to plant a garden and has an entourage of mesmerized kids following her every move. Her project is supposed to lie within the range of health extenstion…but for now she's just supposed to sit back and find out what her village is about. Learn more Bemba and think about future projects that the villagers might want to work on.
Life in Zambia sounds amazing.

JAMMU, Sept 22: The implementation of comprehensive Master Plan prepared for historic Mubarak Mandi complex after long drawn exercise is still a distant dream as Government is finding it difficult to arrange Rs 523 crore required for conservation work and adaptive re-use of the palace within the projected time-frame of five years.
Official sources told EXCELSIOR that last year it was decided that a comprehensive Master Plan should be prepared through a reputed consultancy firm so as to lay focus on each and every building in the historic complex from conservation point of view.
Accordingly, a Project Management Consultancy (PMC) was engaged and after long drawn exercise a comprehensive Master Plan was prepared and submitted to the Mubarak Mandi Heritage Society for approval of the Government. Thereafter, the Master Plan was forwarded to the Tourism Department for further necessary action as its end.
In the Master Plan, the PMC, which has been engaged for five years, has suggested measures for restoration of the entire complex as well as its reuse. The PMC has projected requirement of Rs 523.28 crore for both the activities within the time-frame of five years, sources informed.
The then Governor N N Vohra was given presentation on Master Plan and requirement of funds during the District Development Board meeting of Jammu district held on July 26, 2018. On August 20, 2018, Mr Vohra, while expressing dissatisfaction over the pace of work on the historic Mubarak Mandi complex, asked the Secretary to Government, Tourism Department to urgently review every aspect of the project and send his recommendations to the Chief Secretary within seven days.
"Though Tourism Secretary after detailed examination of the Master Plan made some suggestions to the Chief Secretary as desired by the then Governor yet implementation of Master Plan is still a distant dream as Government is finding it difficult to arrange Rs 523.28 crore for the historic complex's complete conservation", sources said.
They further said, "after detailed deliberations it has now been decided to approach Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for Rs 523.28 crore financial assistance so as to take up Mubarak Mandi conservation work on large scale without compromising on the quality and original architecture".
However, sources expressed inability to specify the time-frame for making formal request to the JICA through Government of India. "Moreover, it is not known whether JICA will consider the request of the Government for such a huge financial assistance", they added.
"Due to this nobody knows when the restoration work of Mubarak Mandi complex will get necessary impetus", sources said while disclosing that at present work is only going on Royal Court building and central courtyard, which was damaged due to mismanagement besides some beautification works are being executed by the Floriculture Department in consultation with Mubarak Mandi Heritage Society.
They further said that there was no perceptible change in pace of ongoing work in the complex even after numerous directions from the Governor and senior functionaries in the administration.
"It is pity that even after serious concern over pace of work from the then Governor N N Vohra the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) has failed to gear up its activities", sources regretted, adding "even manpower engaged for the ongoing work has not been increased following directions from the former Governor".
When contacted, Secretary to Government Tourism Department Rigzin Samphel confirmed that Government has planned to approach JICA for Rs 523 crore aid. He, however, claimed that present pace of work on the complex has now been geared up.
It is pertinent to mention here that on July 12, 2018 EXCELSIOR had exclusively reported that the concern for the Mubarak Mandi complex, a dying sheen of Dogra dynasty, has remained confined to the cursory visits by the bureaucrats as restoration work has yet not picked up the required momentum, which otherwise is imperative to prevent further damage to the already crumbling heritage.
Moreover, Governing Body of the Mubarak Mandi Heritage Society, which is supposed to take all vital decisions vis-à-vis restoration of this historic complex, has not met during the past nearly two years.

I am finally into the part of the story were we are all out of the school, at least for the weekend, and it's not a holiday. It's Spying Time, and my kids are all ready–well, as ready as they're going to be. On the way over to Panera this morning I kept thinking of a good title for this post, and I finally fell on a variation of "Welcome to the Hotel California," which, if you sing this title out, matching the syllables and time signature perfectly. And now, when you re-read the title–which I know you're doing right now–you're singing it out in your head.
My ladies, and one guy, are doing what everyone does: they're getting into their rooms. Of course, when the leader of your group is a slightly paranoid sorceress, things are done a little differently.
All excerpts, this page, from The Foundation Chronicles, Book One: A For Advanced, copyright 2013, 2014, by Cassidy Frazee)
They entered the hotel room silently, as Helena had instructed them while they were in the elevator on the way up to the floor. Helena looked about the suite—a closet; a doorway to the left and another to the right; a sofa, love seat, table, and television at the far end—then pointed at Erywin before pointing at the door on the right. She raised her hands and initiated the spell as Erywin opened the other door, entered the adjoining room, and initiated her own spell.
A grayness swept along the walls and ceiling, hugging it, touching it, slowly caressing it. It moved over the wall to the left, the wall at the far end of the room, then over to the wall on the right before slipping up to the ceiling. It hovered against the ceiling for almost five seconds before fading into nothingness.
Erywin stepped out of the adjoining room and gave Helena a quizzical look. Helena nodded towards the door to her left. "This room's clean: let's check the other." They entered the room, leaving Annie and Kerry behind.
A minute later they returned. "Both are clean; we can talk."
Anne pushed here roller bag against the wall. "You were checking for listening devices, weren't you?"
"Yes." Helena set her luggage and briefcase next to the door leading to the other room.
Kerry found the situation a bit curious. "Who's bugging the room?"
"The Foundation."
Helena peeked into the other room. "Sure. We're a new team out on a field operation, and there are nosy people in the Guardians who want to make certain we're doing all the right things."
Nice to know The Foundation–really, the Guardians–might be listening in on you. But there's a reason Helena suspects this:
Annie, on the other hand, understand this world better. She addressed Helena. "You've put in listening devices, having you?"
"And enchantments that do the same thing. How do you think I knew what to look for?" She turned to Erywin, who was looking out the window. "Nice view?"
"I can see the Center—" She pointed at something outside to her right. "Just across the street."
"Which is where we want to be." Helena moved to the center of the room and looked about. "Not bad for an executive suite. Then again, The Foundation is paying the bill, so why not give us something nice?"
Yep, let's do a little spying on people, because someone's gotta watch the watchmen. Also, now would be a good time to show everyone where the action is taking place. First, there's the Crown Center in downtown Kansas City:
The center is also the location of the mall where the girl they are watching, Tanith, goes and hangs; on the picture above, it's right where it says, "Crown Center Ice Terrace". The hotel where everyone is staying, the Sheraton Crown Center Kansas City, is the building in the upper right hand corner with the circle on top, which is actually the restaurant and lounge. Here's a better picture:
We can figure out from Erywin's view that they are on the south side of the building, and probably high up, because they have nice rooms . . .
"It is pretty good." Kerry stepped over to the door leading to the room next door and looked in. "The other room is just like this?"
"Yes: I asked for adjoining suites." Helena snapped her fingers to gain the children's attention. "This is the living area, as you can see. Main closet is right there—" She pointed to the area next to where Annie stood. "Through this other door is the sleeping area, with a king-sized bed and another television, and the bathroom.
"Here's the plan for this evening. We're going to leave for dinner in about an hour. I know you're both hungry, but we're in a different time zone here and we don't want to make it look like we've just gained an hour. The restaurant is close by and is affiliated with The Foundation, so we'll have a nice table off to the side where no one can listen in on us, so we'll be able to discuss our plans for tomorrow without fear."
Helena on the arm of the sofa where Erywin was already resting. "In the morning we'll dine in the restaurant downstairs before heading out. I want to give the impression we're a family, and dining in the open with others is the best way to do so." She crossed here arms. "We'll stick to the same morning schedule here as we have Salem: up early, down for breakfast by seven. And keep in mid we're not adjusting for time, so plan on being up before the alarm and heading off to bed a little early. Ker—" She caught herself and smiled. "I mean, 'Gavin', I know you have your phone, so set the alarm for five-thirty."
I've actually stayed in a suite like this in the Sheraton Kowloon during one of my visits to Hong Kong, and they are nice. And they have joining rooms, which is a nice deal–in fact, in some hotels you can get three of them side by side and actually use the room in middle for your entrance.
And about that "Gavin"; that's the first code name you find out they're using. But if I'm gonna tell one, I have to tell them all . . .
Kerry grimaced after hearing his phony name. "I really hate that name—Auntie Brenda."
Erywin snorted. "I'm Phoebe: would you like to get stuck with that?"
Annie decided to join the name game. "I'm Nadya. I knew a girl at my private school named Nadya: she was a snooty little Normal bitch."
This argument was one they'd already had, and Helena wasn't about to go over it again. "Take it up with San Francisco: they picked the names." She stood, dropping her hands to her sides. "Let's unpack, change if you feel the need, and get ready for dinner."
There you have it:
Annie = Nadya
Kerry = Gavin
Helena = Brenda
Erywin = Phoebe
And there you have it. Do you think Kerry will tease Annie about having the name of a snooty little Normal bitch? Not if he knows what's good for him.
This brings up something that was likely on Kerry's mind since walking in the door of the joint: sleeping arrangements. Being the only dude in the group it does bring up the question, "Where do I camp out for the evening?"
Kerry lay a hand on the handle of his travel bag. "So where are we sleeping—" He couldn't help but grin. "Mom?"
Erywin pointed to the open door to his left. "Your room is in there."
"Cool." He glanced into the room. "You want me sleeping on the bed, or the sofa?"
Erywin stood next to her luggage. "Doesn't matter to me; you can sleep where you want."
Kerry was about to ask where Erywin was going to sleep when Annie was next to him, touching his arm. "Dear, she means that's our room."
"There are times when your significant other is far smarter than you, Clever Boy." Helena indicated the bedroom behind her. "Adults are in here, and children—" She pointed to the open doorway behind Annie and Kerry. "—are in there." She tilted her head slightly to the left. "Unless there's a reason you two can't be trusted alone for the evening."
Annie glommed onto Kerry's arm. "No, 'Mama'. You can trust us."
"Good. Here are the rules: that door stays closed when we are separated. If you want to come in and speak to us, knock and we'll answer. Same goes for you: we'll knock and wait for you to let us in—"
"However, if you don't open the door—" Erywin smirked. "—we might have to come in and see if you need . . . assistance."
Helena nodded. "Don't leave by way of your hallway door; all comings and goings are through our door. Oh, and if you feel the need to raid the mini bar go ahead: someone else is paying the bill." She held up an admonishing finger. "No room service. If you want something, let us know." She waved them away. "Okay, go unpack and get ready. We'll let you know when we're ready to go."
Helena–I mean, Auntie Brenda–is being pretty trusting letting the kids share the same room, what with those visions of wedding nights they've seen and the raging hormones they both have. But, I mean, come on: Erywin and Kerry sharing a room? Not gonna happen. And they would probably be a battle if Helena and Annie were sleeping together . . . At this place and time Helena is quite aware that these two sack out during the Midnight Madness all the time, and chances are she's aware they've spent a night or two–or more–down on the commons sofa.
Beside, if you don't think Helena doesn't have a spell up her sleeve that would keep them apart, you don't know her like I do. And seeing as how I created here, you don't know her like I do.
The kids will be fine. I mean, there are separate sleeping arrangements in these suites–
Kerry followed Annie into the other room and closed the door behind him. He scanned the living area of the identical suite, but said nothing for a few seconds as he considered his next words. "Well, um, I could—"
Annie turned her head and gave Kerry her best cold stare. "If you are even considering the idea the sleeping on the sofa, I won't speak to you for the rest of the weekend." She walked smartly towards the bedroom entrance and stopped just before heading inside. "Come along, my love: let's unpack and get ready dinner."
Kerry closed his eyes as he shook his head as little as possible as a huge grin spread across his face. "Coming, Sweetie."
And . . . you can forget about that sofa, Captain Clueless. What Annie wants, Annie gets, and what she wants is for you to be sleeping right next to her.
Why, it's almost like being married . . .

Stacking the Shelves #157
Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga at Tynga's Reviews, that features books I've received/purchased/borrowed during the current week.
This was a great week for me!!! I got some good ARC's, and already read Darkest Dawn by Katlyn Duncan. It was AMAZING!!!
I've been impatiently waiting on Salvaged Soul, and am halfway finished with it. So good so far!

How Telford opened its arms to the Sikh community
It is 50 years since a new religion began to arrive in Telford, and the group is continuing to thrive in 2019.
In the middle of Telford stands a colourful Sikh temple. Outside there are glittering decorations leading to a grand doorway, where inside there is a thriving community.
It was after the Second World War that Sikhs started to emigrate to the UK in large numbers, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s.
The Sikh community arrived in villages of east Shropshire such as Hadley, Dawley and Trench, before the establishment of Telford itself as a new town.
The community primarily came for work at the GKN Sankey plant based in Hadley itself.
During the formation of Telford in the 1960s these villages were incorporated into the new town and as a result the largest population settled around GKN Sankey.
The Sikh community has recently marked the 50th anniversary of the day it began holding worship and meetings in the town – although they haven't always had a dedicated temple in which to worship.
Parkash Singh Dhamai MBE is the president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara and he has been involved since the very start after moving to Shropshire from Punjab in India in 1963 to live with his brother and work at GKN Sankey.
"There was no temple here when I first came," said the 79-year-old. "In 1969 the congregation was at about 40 members and we would hold meetings at the Hadley Rest Rooms."
For four years the Sikh community would pay £5 a week for a few hours on a Sunday where they could hold meetings and worship, but the congregation was growing and a need for a temple was becoming increasingly clear as the room groaned at the seams thanks to the presence of so many members.
In 1973 the Sikh community bought a former junior school and it became the first Sikh temple, or Gurdwara, in Shropshire.
"We bought it the building in 1973. It was obviously just a lot of classrooms. But we did a lot of converting to open it out inside," says Parkash.
"After that there were more and more people coming."
"We raised the money from our community, friends and other temples in other towns which we had asked for help from."
Prior to the meetings at the Hadley Rest Rooms and then later the temple Parkash said the community would have to travel as far as Wolverhampton or Birmingham to worship.
"It's important for Sikh people to have a place to worship," he says.
"Before this was here we would maybe have to travel to temples. But we would be working seven days a a week so could only go in the holidays. We like to worship and need to worship."
Sandara Singh Nagra is 70 and has been a member of the congregation since moving to Telford in 1965.
He says a lot has a lot has changed from his earliest memories of moving to the area.
"The area itself was very small those days," he says. "Back then there were maybe only eight or 10 Indian people.
"But it has grown a lot since then. The town, the community, everything has grown."
The growth of Telford went hand in hand with a growth in the Sikh community and in the temple itself.
Parkash says there were some problems with integration during the early days of the Sikh community forming in Telford.
He says that a lack of housing in the early days and a language barrier with the local people in the new town in the east Shropshire coal fields caused some issues.
"Not many people that came in spoke that good English," he says.
"They were working hard, but there were language problems. But now we have a good community and good neighbours and are very happy and all live together.
"I'm proud of the temple and the community.
"That we are able to worship together, talk together, that we are all friendly. Sikhism is about having respect for all people and all religions. We have lived together a long time now."
Jag Singh Mattu, 34, was raised in Telford and has been attending the temple all his life.
"I have been coming to the Gurdwara ever since I was born," he adds. "My parents were married here and before that my grandfather came here in the 1970s, so there is a family history.
"When you look at a Gurdwara, for a Sikh it's very important to have a place of worship where they can come and join in with the services.
"In Telford there was a need for a place where services and certain ceremonies could be held.
"When they decided to build the Gurdwara it was about bringing the Sikh community together every Sunday, and now it's every day of the week. It's a busy temple, and the first one where everyone joined together to get the place up and running.
"It's important for the congregation to have a Gurdwara."
He continues: "It's important for a Sikh to pay your respect to the holy scriptures and to do that every week, or when you can."
But the temple is much more than about just the religious activities and provides a place where Punjab classes are held as well as social groups such as the Khusdhi Day Centre for elderly women.
Rajinder Kaur Sahota, 57, is the chairman of the centre which meets every Thursday.
"We met at Hadley Learning Centre where there were programmes for the elderly, but because of the language barrier we asked if we could set up the class here," she said.
"We make food, do yoga and go on trips and all the ladies help with the activities in the temple.
"It's very important for us to have a temple. I have always been a follower and believed in God. It's a place of worship, of gathering, and a place to meet people."
