Deciding whether you can afford dental implants can be a complicated process. Dental implant prices depend on many factors including your own overall health, the complexity of the problem, whether additional bone grafting may be necessary, and the cost of the materials used.
There are different types of dental implants used in dentistry. There's been great success with "osseointegrated" implants. It's a system where the bone and implant mesh. A chemical and mechanical bond is formed so the jawbone actually grows into the implants. The most rewarding part of these successful implants in dentistry is that patients are happy with the results for years.
Dental implants are used in different ways by dentists. You may require a single implant to bridge a gap, or two implants to support a bridge. Or, if a lower denture needs to be stabilized, two to four implants might be required.
Unfortunately, if your jawbone can't support an implant due to bone loss, tooth implants may not be an option. However, if you have a sound jawbone, dental implants are the best thing offered in dentistry next to real teeth.

You will receive a list of implant specialists in your area who can give you the tooth replacement information and quality care you need.
Implant dentistry is a safe, predictable method for replacing missing teeth. "Immediate dental implants" or the placement of tooth implants at the time of extraction is a great method of implant placement. This method can be considered when a single upper front tooth is traumatized, when one or two teeth have advanced decay, or when the remaining roots are too short to support a crown. The purpose of this method of tooth replacement is to maintain as much bone volume as possible. This means preserving bone height and width. The benefits to the patient after restoration of dental implants are a beautiful, natural-looking tooth without cutting down healthy adjacent teeth and being able to eat in comfort without the fear of having the tooth loosen or fall out.
An implant dentist can easily determine if a person is a candidate for the immediate dental implants method of replacing missing teeth. They will examine the teeth adjacent to the involved tooth for periodontal disease and take a traditional dental X-ray. Impressions of the teeth will aid in determining one's prognosis. Additional X-rays may be necessary to determine the exact bone width and height, as well as the root position.
Implant placement is performed with local anesthesia. The remaining root is removed and the gum tissue is gently displaced from the surrounding tissue. The dental implant site is prepared with small drills. Special equipment is used to gently place the tooth implant into the prepared site, after which the gums are replaced over the implant with sutures. A temporary tooth replacement is placed in the space where the tooth was removed. Post-operative discomfort is minimal. The sutures are removed in a week, and oral hygiene is resumed.
In the upper jaw, bone grows and adheres to the tooth implant within five to six months, while the immediate dental implants in the lower jaw require three to four months for proper bone formation. After healing, there is a series of visits when an implant dentist will make a tooth that will be attached to the implant. Within a few weeks after receiving the implant-supported crown, patients consider the restoration as their own tooth, rather than an implant.
Implants require good oral hygiene, dental maintenance, and periodic evaluation by a dentist. For further information regarding placement of tooth implants at the time of extraction, look in PubMed, searching the following key words: placement of implants at time of extraction, dental implants, immediate implants.

If you don't know it yet, budget planning is when we estimate the revenue that will come in, the production costs, and the expenses needed to keep the business running. In other words, how much you need to sell and spend to keep your business healthy.
The budget organizes this vision into numbers, showing its financial and economic performance of the future and the past. With it, you keep track of your company's progress, making it easier to take action to improve results.
A methodology, on the other hand, consists of previously aligned methods and processes that help to perform a task or project. It is like a script that will organize your actions.
Reconciling budget planning with methodology is the way to direct your steps and actions in an orderly and progressive manner, ensuring the complete execution of business budget. This is therefore the best way to create budget planning.
Knowing this very well, we dedicate this text to being a step-by-step in creating budget planning through methodology. From now on, you will follow each step in the execution of a business budget Excellent!
Let's go to the steps!
Financial Modeling: Understanding How Everything Works
Financial modeling is the first step and carries a very important weight. Here, you understand how your business is financially organized: how is your business chart of accounts, how the cost center is built, what the sales channels are, how the data is collected, and how you can extract it from your ERP (if necessary).
The goal is to draw the entire financial flow and how the documentation, transactions and how to organize it all work. This is the way to "tidy up the house" and look at your finances from an overview and overview.
Main goal: Where does your business want to go?
The main objective (also known as OMTM) is the center where the other steps revolve around. And not by chance, all other steps use the objective as a parameter for decision making. Because once defined, the objective will guide the actions of the company as a whole.
The main objective should be set after an analysis of your company. This objective must have indicators to measure it; it must also have a period to be reached (months or years). Check out an example of the main objective:
Main goal: reach $ 100 thousand net profit by December
1 indicator: gross billing by placement
2 indicator: average monthly ticket
3 indicator: percentage of cancellations
In the example above, we are clear what the objective is, how far it should be achieved, and some indicators that help measure it. From this point forward, we know what budget planning will help achieve: $ 100 thousand net profit. With that defined, we move to the next step: the budget planning in itself.
Budget planning: How to reach the main goal
So far you have understood what budget planning is, why financial modeling exists, and the importance of having a primary guiding goal. You already understand all this, but you still need to go deep into budget planning. After all, this is the strategy that will make your company reach the main goal.
In addition, let's go to the steps that make up budget planning.
Revenue Budget
In the revenue budget you must project all planned entries for your cash flow. That is, how much of your products (or services) do you expect to sell over the next three, six, or twelve months? This step is very important and demands the help of the sales manager, because it is necessary to use as base the current productive capacity of the sector.
In summary, the recipes are:
- Product or service sales;
- Sale of a property
Remember the main goal of $ 100 thousand in December? So when planning your revenue budget, it's important that year-end sales are enough to meet those goals.
Reinforcing: All budgets contained in the planning will focus on achieving the main goal.
Budget for sales deductions
With planned revenues, you'll know how much you expect to sell next month, for example. From this information, it is already possible to project the inevitable sales deductions.
Some sales deductions are:
- Taxes;
- Returns and cancellations;
- Freight;
- Commissions.
Deductions are discounts on top of each product and service marketed. Therefore, if your company plans to invoice 10 thousand in sales, you must apply deductions on top of gross revenue.
Production cost budget
The production cost budget is the planning of all costs required to produce a product or sell a commodity or service.
Production costs are classified according to your company's activities. For example the CPV (Cost of Goods Sold), which is the classification for companies that sell products. CMV (Cost of Goods Sold) to companies that sell goods, usually in commerce. AND CSV (Cost of Services Sold), for companies that market services.
Some cost examples are:
- Feedstock;
- Contracted tools;
- Inputs for production;
Personnel and Expense Budget
Operating expenses are the expenses required even when there is no sale (as opposed to costs). They are associated with fixed expenses because they happen all month long. In this budget you should also consider personnel expenses.
Examples of personnel expenses:
- Salary;
- Benefits;
- Health plan
Examples of Expenses:
- Rent;
- Water;
- Light;
- Pro-labore
Scenario Simulation: Possible Paths in the Same Direction
After planning the budget, it is time to simulate possible scenarios. To scenario simulation It is an instrument that, based on its planning, "versions" of this scenario are created, considering variables that may interfere with its planning.
Check out some example scenarios:
Base scenario
The base scenario is your realistic scenario. That is, it is the budget planning where everything will go as planned (except for deviations, which are common in every budget) and the goal will be reached.
Pessimistic scenario
Unlike the bottom line, the pessimist considers internal market issues that may affect his financial performance. What if the dollar goes up? What if demand decreases? Considering these factors, they are created action plans to combat them. Ah, it is important to remember that even in the pessimistic scenario (as in the optimistic one) the main goal must be achieved.
Optimistic scenario
And if all goes very right? In the optimistic scenario, it is considered a positive economic context for your company. Here, the goal is met with time off and action plans are created to take advantage of opportunities in a positive scenario.
From the base planning, you can create numerous scenarios. This is one of the most efficient ways to prepare in advance for the market.
Tracking results with reports and indicators
After all previous steps are completed, you arrive at the budget tracking step. And monitoring, as well as planning, are ongoing processes. Because we know that any planning, whatever it may be, tends to have midway deviations.
In this way, follow-up is the stage where we periodically look at the DRE and we analyze the planned and accomplished. How much did we earn in the month and what was planned? Did the variable expenses remain as expected or were they higher (or lower)?
The vision of a DRE for budget tracking goes something like this:
Thus, you can analyze the financial performance achieved in December, for example, and compare with what was actually planned. If the plan was to reach R $ 100 thousand of net income in December and, in the realization, was reached only R $ 80 thousand, we have the clear view that the goal was not met.
And by looking at the DRE over the months, you can identify the performance that caused the goal not to be met. Fewer sales than planned? Or, in the end, could not invest more in marketing?
recommended reading: Budget does not accompany ... So, what to do?
Budget review: Is it time to change the route?
It is only from follow-up that the need for a budget review is seen. The review changes the company's route because if it is realized that the main goal will not be achieved, it needs to be changed.
At this point, we need to think: have we changed the goal or increased the deadline to reach it?
The steps used in the text are from the widely tested and validated Treasy Methodology. To learn more about how you can apply it to your business, talk to a consultant.
And if you got here, congratulations! Now you already knows a lot about budget planning. With the information you get here, you already have enough to put your knowledge to work.

Above the display, both phones feature Iris scanners in addition to the fingerprint scanner at the back, an integrated Home button underneath the glass front, and facial recognition as well. As rumours suggested, the US edition of the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones are powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon 835 flagship SoC. Internationally (India included) the devices will be shipped with Samsung's new Exynos 8895 SoC. Both phones have 4GB of RAM and come with 64GB native storage, which is expandable via microSD cards.

The two phones will be shipped with Samsung's new AI assistant, called Bixby. This is integrated into Samsung's UI, which is layered on top of Android 7.0 Nougat.

Stay tuned for further updates.

The State Government had made sincere and honest efforts to compensate people of the State to overcome repeated price rise by enhancing their purchasing power and releasing subsidies on various essential commodities and services. Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal said it while addressing public meeting at Jangal Beri, in district Hamirpur today. He also dedicated newly constructed residential complex of 4th India Reserve Battalion, constructed at a cost of Rs. five crore.

He also inaugurated Ayurvedic Health Centre building completed at a cost of Rs. 10 lakh, earlier.
Prof. Dhumal said that the Central Government had always been discriminating with non-UPA ruled states as the rice quota had been reduced from 18,500 MT to 7,100 MT, kerosene oil from 5,411 KL to only 2,000 KL. He said that the ration card holders who were getting one Kg sugar per person during NDA regime had been reduced to 550 gram in UPA regime. He said that the State had lowest VAT on diesel which was 9.60 percent while it was at 14 percent during Congress regime. He said that the State Government had been making all out efforts to compensate the people by enhancing their purchasing power and lowering markets rates to the minimum possible. He said that it was unfortunate that UPA had been increasing price of petroleum products and limiting supply of LPG to the consumers. He said that the State Government was spending Rs. 140 crore on subsidized essential commodities and Rs. 190 crore on subsidized power to domestic consumers to provide relief to common man.
Chief Minister lauded the efforts of GSSS, Jangal Beri for providing bi-lingual facilities to their students, whether to study in Hindi and English, which was a role model for rest of the State. He said that the State Government had earmarked 19 percent of its budgetary provisions, highest in the country, for spending over education activities during current financial year, compared to only 4.85 percent by the Government of India. He said that quality education was the need of the hour and the state government was endeavouring to provide quality education to the students at their door steps. He said that there was no substitute for hard work and exhorted students to work hard to excel in their lives.
Prof. Dhumal appealed to the people to evaluate the achievements made by the State which had benefited the people of the State because of various policies and programmes implemented by the Government. He said that it was necessary to maintain the tempo of balanced and uniform development in the State. He announced Rs. 3.00 lakh for two rooms of GPS Jangal Beri, Rs. one lakh for boundary wall of Ayurvedic dispensary for toilets and boundary wall; Rs. 1.35 lakh for providing 100 benches in GSSS Jangal Beri. He said that funds would also be provided for construction of boundary wall of GSSS, Jangal Beri and Hall to be constructed therein. He sanctioned Rs.one lakh for boundary wall at Bhated and assured that GMS Sairi would be upgraded to GHS from next academic session. Later Chief Minister also dedicated residential complex for police personnel at Sujanpur, completed at a cost of Rs. 40 lakh and laid foundation stone of Remodelling and Extension of LIS Bhaleth, estimated to cost Rs. 2.00 crore to irrigate 3,325 kanals of farm land in four villages in the area.
Shri I.D.Dhiman, Education Minister, thanked Chief Minister for dedicating modern science block to the students of the school and said that a education had been accorded top priority of the State Government wherein budgetary provisions had been increased by two and half times. He also congratulated Chief Minister for winning 71st Award, Agriculture Leadership Award, for the State which speak volumes of the priority being accorded to farm sector in the State. He said that every State was getting central sponsored schemes for which funds in the ratio of 65:35 were being shared by Centre and State. He said that each uniform under Atal School Uniform Scheme was costing Rs. 600 which also included stitching charges of Rs. 100 being paid by the State. He questioned opponents creating misunderstanding about the scheme, that if free school uniform scheme belonged to the Centre so why did not the Congress ruled states had implemented the same in their respective states.
Smt. Urmil Thakur, MLA, also welcomed the Chief Minister to her home segment and for dedicating developmental schemes to the people of the area. She said that Jangal Beri, which at one point of time was an isolated area, was connected with all weather road and 9 bridges to provide year round connectivity connecting Sandhol area in district Mandi as well. She said that with the construction of two proposed hydel projects economy of the area would get changed. She thanked for establishing Rs. 3 crore Chilling Plant in the area which would contribute significantly in bringing about while revolution in the area. She said that spectacular overall and balanced development were testimony to achieve 'Mission Repeat' in the State.

The Saw-billed Hermit (Ramphodon naevius) is among the most primitive living hummingbird species.
|Scientific classification
The Hermits are tropical hummingbirds in the subfamily Phaethornithinae, comprising about 34 species in six genera.
Their plumage typically involves greens, browns, rufous or grey. They lack the iridescent plumage of many other hummingbird species, and the male and female plumages of hermits are often very similar, only a few species showing the strong sexual dimorphism usually associated with hummingbirds.
Hermits in the main genus, Phaethornis, have a long decurved bill with a red or yellow base to the lower mandible, and their two central tail feathers are elongated and tipped with white. The crown of the head is flat, and two pale facial stripes enclose a dusky mask.
Hermits usually form leks and congregate on traditional display grounds, where females visit to choose a mate. However, male hermits are less aggressively territorial than other male hummingbirds.
Hermits are closely associated with heliconias. The flowers are an important food source accessible to the long decurved bill typical of this group of forest hummingbirds. Many species, including the Rufous-breasted Hermit, also use the plant for nesting, attaching their conical nest to the underside of one of the plant's broad leaves.

Though each champion has its own personality and core abilities, a movement ability, and a mount -- to get around Paladins' much larger, wide open maps -- the real character variation comes from a deckbuilding card system that augments a champion in different ways.Cards do things like modify a champions shots and abilities with new effects or increased damage, add utility based augmentations like increasing your health regeneration when near an objective, or just help you to stay alive.
All cards have five tiers of effectiveness, and the level you are when you draw the card dictates the strength of the card. This adds a strategy element to the system in that some cards are good at lower levels, while some you'll want to skip for a shot at the stronger version later on in the match.You can find gameplay footage of Paladins and all its systems in action for six of the revealed characters: Fernando, Barik, Ruckus & Bolt, Cassie, Pip, and Grohk.
Anyone looking to get into the upcoming beta can do so by signing up on the Paladins official site, though specific dates have not yet been announced.

Farting: Wherever You May Go Wherever You May Be Let Your Wind Blow Free
Farting: Bodily Function or Art Form?
Farting in Public
On the subject of Farting in Public. What is the correct procedure/form.
- Flatulence
- Flatus
- Flatulent
- Farting
This natural function, performed by all living things is a rich source of fun.
Humans are the only species; so far, that have raised this bodily function, to an internationally recognized art-form.
Indeed whole careers have been created on the passing of wind. The release of gas in humans, comes in two sonic types.
Silent, or alternatively producing a loud report, of varying degrees of decibels.
Loud but unlikely to cause ear damage.
Flatus A short history of Gas
Farting Slang
Fart synonyms and slang names for flatulence.

Air Biscuit, the floating thereof
Squeeze cheese

Who guffed? variants include; chuffed, huffed, puffed and of course the world famous fluffed.
Parft to denote the sound of the report
Let it rattle. As in the rhyme.
'Wherever you be let your wind blow free, In church or chapel let rattle'
Blow off
Bit windy
Sometimes animals are blamed or used as a deflector, with a qualifying question.

Farting Definition
Farting performs an important function in the body, as it allows the release of trapped gases, that are created by the decomposition of food and drink in the stomach.
If it were not for this bodily function; we would be full of gas. Not a pleasant thought. Smelly farts can come about based on what we eat. The more decomposition the more gas or flatus. Onions for example.
The only other way out would be via the mouth. Now you can have bad breath but, would you want the gas that escapes from your butt coming out of your mouth? A forward burp of this nature, may not only be socially quite embarrassing, but potentially flammable flatus.
Paula lets rip on X Factor.
The smell occurs, due to a mixture of gases, including.
Methane,(flammable) Hydrogen, Hydrogen Sulphide (rotten egg fart smell) Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen and Oxygen.
The methane can be ignited, (pyroflatulence) producing a blue flame. This should not be attempted by an untrained person. Don't try this at home.
Gas Finance
Getting Methane out of the ground is an expensive business. We produce about 2 liters of flatus gas per 24 hours, usual at night when we are relaxed, and in bed asleep. If the average family had a method of capturing this wasted fuel source. Think of the possibilities?
We could probably be self sufficient in gas, for cooking and heating. If you have a large family you could even run the family car. The oil rich countries that we rely on, would be shaking in their boots.
Alternative Urban Mining
There are easier Methane deposits that we do use, it is trapped in the old landfill sites, all over the country. There is a large landfill site to the east of London, at Beckton. It is just down the road from the new Business & Finance district of Canary Wharf, and next door to the City Airport.
You will know when you are 'passing' through because of the 'Beckton Pong'! It really stinks! This 'free' methane resource is tapped, and sold to the local power station and recycling plants.
Having trapped wind can be extremely painful.
It is not uncommon for people to arrive at the emergency room; complaining of extreme stomach pain, only for the doctor or nurse; to insert a finger and release the pent up gas. To the relief and embarrassment of the sufferer.
We are not Amused...Harry is
Scene of the Royal Report Buckingham Palace
Social Class and Gas
Social Class. The Etiquette
Farting in public, even in front of the Queen has always been acceptable, as long as 'you' do not draw attention to the release. In polite society the form, is to ignore the noxious whiff and just hope that is passes away quickly.
Some people will leave the room to fart. Or even raise their arse from their bath water. Even celebrities are taking it seriously, as a way to connect to the masses. They want to show us their human sides.
The Social Divide
Amongst certain groups of people. We no longer call them; the lower classes as this is not politically correct. The etiquette is totally different and a great source of amusement with offenders bragging; with comments like 'better out, than in' and 'Whoa! There was something behind that one'.
Great pride is taken in producing as loud a report as possible.
In fact as recent as 1945, during the golden age of variety theater, one could go and watch internationally famous performers showing their prowess with gas.
Joseph Pujol 1857 – 1945 stage name Le Pétomane
The world famous French flatulist (professional farter) performer and entertainer made a whole career from his business end. He could fart at will, and produce a wide variety of popular tunes.
This was due to a remarkable control of his stomach muscles. I hope this has been useful and amusing for you. This usually misunderstood and much maligned bodily function, farting is perfectly normal and should be celebrated.
If you enjoyed Farting Is Back With A Bang. Share it with your friends. I'm sure they will like it too Thanks.

OMG....Michael!! My handsome, sweet Michael......how COULD you literally BLOW your image to me?? LOL.....I raised 4 ALL-boy..boys. I will never understand, as long as I live, why THIS is so funny, but it was as though it was a daily competition with them! Actually, it was only one of SEVERAL activities that they used .....I swear, for the sole purpose of driving me mad. Well, it didn't work. However, it is so nice now, that they belong to their wives. Good grief, what is it with guys?
24 years ago, I was so thrilled when my first grandchild was a precious, sweet, polite little girl.....I remember thinking, what a relief!
Well, my luck of course, SHE'S ALSO HER FATHER'S DAUGHTER!!!
They're all very lucky I adore them. I don't mind their horrible torture of me, for the sake of their uproar of laughter. I merely wonder, "Where did I go so wrong??"........VERY funny and you disguised it so well as educational......I forgive you. UP+++
I cannot for the life of me understand how I missed this hub! Not only is it funny but oh so relevant to all of us!
My family has a thing about farting (did I say that out loud). Never a family gathering without farting being discussed.
Loved t his Molometer!
Voted up, funny, and believe it or not, interesting.
Your hub had me in splits of laughter, voted up.
You don't have to be a Joseph "Le Petomane" Pujol to raise farting to an art form. Everyone has that inner power to steal the scent...I mean scene. Farting can be use as a witty repartee to the braggadocio of an obnoxious and conceited person. :)
I think this is a rare hub LOL...
Ah yeah. I foudn this when I was looking for the Hub about the Google thing you were talking about on one of those answer thingers.
No, I can't be serious. I'm laughing so hard I'm lucky I didn't fart. This is one of the few Hubs that's made such an impression on me that I wish I'd written it. We were just talking about barking spiders this afternoon. And no, I do not like my own farts.
Well done!
Yeah, my husband's laughing at me too! He could have written the book on farting. : )
Hilarious! It's good to be able to laugh about something that really is funny, albeit a natural body function. BTW, gas problems are exacerbated when living at high altitude.
In the humorous mood tonight my friend and this awesome laugher( is that a werd? lol) will hopefully will do the same with the share- pffft!
Just read Kelly's, Realhousewife's, hilarious and informative Dress Code hub. Perfect match for the share!
Love it! My kids favorite book is: The Gas We Pass. It would be nice if everyone had a more light-hearted approach to this topic! Thanks for sharing.
Though dirty subject , the science was quiet new to me .So thanks .
Haha! Great hub Michael. I still use the old schoolboy term "Traffed", traf being fart backwards. As long as you don't really fart backwards!
Good stuff.
I meant in the comment that I was thankful to be the very LAST reader on the WWW, lol!!
Seems my eyes were tearing so much with giggles, I skipped making a typo and left out and entire word!
Oh my God! this is hilarious! haha! I couldn't stop laughing, and those videos! Its one of those questions answered! do celebs fart on national tv? lol! the funny thing was I was laughing so much, then my pc got stuck and I said without thinking, Oh you stupid thing, stop farting about! hee hee! loved it!
My friend this may be the funniest hub I have read while at Hubpages. In fact I officially declare it to be so. I do believe I need to share this with all who form my little kingdom. FYI...we used to light them in college and found that particular act hilarious! I am not ashamed of that; in fact I am rather proud of it. :) Great hub!
You Brits have the most marvelous sense of humor.
lol! Funny hub.
Words fail to express how absolutely happy I am to be the very reader on the entire world wide web, to make it to this Hub, and the comments section. (Grin!)
I'm equally at a loss on what exactly to say about it.
I have a feeling, if the Royals ever see this, you'll no longer be allowed to play on the palace grounds.
I uhmm .... wow .... I'm still reeling how you took such a subject as this, and put it together with such flair and ... and ... artful expertise?
Pardon me, I must run for tissue. I've been choking back the laughter to the point that my eyes are streaming with tears, which are now dripping from my chin and will surely short out my laptop if I don't dry up the mess.
Oh my God, you are all so funny, the hub and the comments. It's good I am alone in the office, I just farted, caused by too much laughter.
molometer, I love you. hahaha.
Thanks for the laughter.
Will share this in my redgage.com account.
I didn't think a hub on stinky wind could be so informative.
I have been around loud ones and soft, barely audible, ones. It's those quiet ones that I'm afraid to be around because of the smell that follows and lingers on for a long time refusing to leave the area.
What really amazes me is when people leave the area immediately after they let one out, as if "it" would follow them out and no one would know who done it. Duh?
Tee hee... you said fart. After raising three sons, I am no longer prudish about these things. I love your sense of humor. LOL!
LOL..ok... now I will only admit this to my family... As I was reading this... I laughed so hard I spewed my tea all over the monitor, farting at the same time.. thank God the dog was here to blame! Thank you for a wonderful laugh! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to locate the air freshner and the vanilla/lavender candle. :p
Michael... coming back to share this
LOLOLOLOLO! I read this out loud and laughed so hard! Could you imagine standing with the Queen when the sound off happens? lololo! Here in the U.S. I remember a person who passed wind in the Isle and then ran around the corner. OMG! She acted as if she did not do it! lolololo! That smell floated through multiple isles! lololo Thumbs Up! :)
molometer - I heard a normal healthy adult can fart upto 14 a day. PU! Funny - enjoyed reading. Not so nice when it is a medical problem - I would rather hickup!
Michael, Michael, Michael,
You, my friend, are a stitch! If you had asked me a couple of days ago if the first hub I would read of yours would be of the flatuetic (please include my new word for stinky prose eloquently stated) I would have said you are nuts.
But you know what? This was very creative, very well done and oh so interesting, not to mention quite gutsy!
When someone says they are considering sharing it with their fourth grade class, I think you have something there!
You've just made history and will go down on my classic top 10 List!
LOL what a smelly hub:) I have to share this little rhyme with you that one of sons friends used to say all the time...
There's a skunk in the garden pee yew
Somebody farted
That's you.
Enjoyed your fun hub....
Interesting and funny hub .Enjoyed it voted up.
My daughter's dog runs away whenever someone farts...she was in the same bed as my hubby too many times...
Larry The Cable Guy talks about his grandma and her "walking farts - every time she takes a step she farts!" I thought this was hilarious - until it started happening to me - in a class of students from third to fifth grade....
I bow to your greatness and laugh out loud! FUNNY and awesome.
I know some who should be professional farters!! FUNNY hub!!
I seriously think that I'm going to share this hub with my fourth grade class. We have gas with a blast daily (actually several times a day) in my class. Very entertaining hub!
Oh my...well to be truthful I have never!...I mean it is the dog..my chair..or the something in the air..but NEVER ME!!!! hahaha Seems like there is a lot of hot air floating around..may need to change the diet abit..My dad was crude..old military guy...Pull my finger..fell for it every time..lol
Funny Hub!
Hi molometer,
This is the funniest hub I have ever read...sure, it is a natural phenomenon amongst all living species but, humans have made a lot about it...lol
the videos were hilarious.
voted up as funny!
there's nothing quite so odd and relieving as letting a big one rip and feeling the instant relief or the fear in needing to check your underbritches, just in case.)
When I was a kid, if I let out a really good one, my dad would say "Whooeee" Something must have crawled up you and died!"
Battalion . . . attennnntion! Phttttht!
Thanks for brightening up an otherwise dull Saturday afternoon. So funny. My mother in law is 86 and does many bottom burps when she gets up out of the chair. She doesn't know she is doing it half the time and I try not to laugh. I think old age must have affected her sense of smell, unfortunately mine is still intact! Voted up and very funny.
If you find an old copy of the Merrick Medical Dictionary and look up the word "Flatulence", you will find that the dictionary actually discusses the different types of farts--for example, the "slider". I'm serious. It's hilarious!
I see this is a popular subject around here. Personally, I think the subject stinks.
I went to military school for my secondary education. We trained the "Barking Spider". It was truly an art form and often punctuated rambling speeches by administrators. We perfected the skills required to flame up without the repercussions of a "suck back". It is no game for the uninitiated to play.
Chief Joseph (Nez Pierce) had a brother, Olikut (great war chief), who cranked off a beauty during their surrender ceremonies to the US Army. Actually, he cranked off several good ones at appropriate times during the speech of the victorious general. He saved the coup de grass for the summation. It was such a beauty, that it is still heard today in the annuls of history.
My eldest son had elaborate farting performances down to a tee (?) and we could never persuade him that they wouldn't get him anywhere in life!
Yet his grand enthusiasms for things like that propelled him into great success. ("Social skills are one of the 7 recognized skills" his headmaster assured us.)
His girlfriend has somehow put a stop to them, well to the fun performances of them. You can understand why.
Great Hub. There's nothing like a farting story to get you rolling.
Gets an 'awesome'!
molometer this was to funny. I have a grandson that is able to fart at will. He makes fun of grandma when she has the "walking farts". It is embarrassing though when you are in a study group, get up to walk to the blackboard and one of those silent and long ones slip out. I was glad there was a dog in the room and its owner really thought he was the guilty culprit. I didn't have to own up to that one.
What a fun hub about a common past-time. The list of synonyms is especially interesting. Voting this Up and Funny. Thanks for SHARING.
Hey Molometer,
'Elegant Solution' eh, why thank you! lol.
I just removed EVERYTHING that could be considered 'personal promotion' - I think it was mainly because I asked people to comment to create the 'club'.
Anyway, I'm glad that the SHARING culture can continue, as it helps so many get more readers!
This made me laugh so much the first time that I just wanted to come back and SHARE it with my followers.
P.S. The SHARING CLUB is now back online under "Do You Like to Share? Let's Help Everyone Get More Readers!". It had to be re-written from a social aspect, but still includes all original and new comments.
Yes you're right with the sweating thing. Us ladies "glow" when slightly over heated! Lol
I loved this hub. Made me chuckle. Two of my favourite terms for a trump is "bottie cough" and "thunder clap" haha.
Amusing read Molometer. Your hubs are great!! You forgot to mention that Ladies do not have this bodily function!! Haha
LMAO!!!!! This was brilliant!! There is nothing worse than standing in line waiting for a bus and you just know a 'ripper' is on the way out! I hold my arse so tight and pray 'stay in, stay in, at least until the bus reves up or something!' I've held my arse in so tight that I had muscle stiffness the next morning in both cheeks!
I was also reading a hub about the benefits of having pets with another hubber and having a laugh about the things they do. Dogs are not too sure about what a 'fart' is. When it rips out of them, they always look at their bottom so see what it was. One of mine, when he was a pup, use to chase his bum in circles trying to find out where the noise came from!! We love our dogs to bits, but I'm afraid if anyone does let rip, then we tend to blame them!!LOL!!
Brilliant hub + voted up awesome + funny!!

As a deeply-rooted pessimist, I view dystopian fiction as the future we can most believably extrapolate from our present. We're facing ecological crisis, economic crisis, overpopulation, constant war, killer drones, the internet killing all the things we used to love, Kardashians, unfair Wikipedia edits, obesity and, for Americans at least, the fear that our best days are behind us. These are downer times, so why will tomorrow be any better?
In that climate it comes as no surprise that dystopian fiction is the prevalent subgenre of speculative fiction crowding the marketplace today. From the oppressive state of 1984, to the neon-nightmare of Neuromancer, to the current Hunger Games wave, we have become very familiar with dystopias.
So familiar that you might wonder, has every good idea been excavated from the subgenre like ore from a sweltering deep-earth mine worked by gene-enhanced slave labor of the megastate? What's left? What concepts haven't been raided for dystopian reimagining?

Lockdown Recovery - have a plan
'Lockdown'. What emotion does the word trigger in you? Fear? Doubt? Anxiety? For some, all it means is no buying alcohol, no walking the dog and endless Uno games around the dining room table. For others, like you, there are bigger fish to fry.
How to manage your cash flow. What will happen to your sales? How to deal with overstocked warehouses, needy staff and hungry creditors at your door. Is there a magical marketing campaign that can replenish lost income during this time?
At Supply Chain Partner, we don't focus on the problem. We like solutions. With our expertise entrenched in supply chain solutions, we've put together a five-point Lockdown Recovery Plan to get you through the next 21 days and beyond.
Our approach is not new; it's not just a vision, process or a methodology. It's is a business model that highlights two values:
· the soundness of taking a holistic, integrated view in making business decisions for a company
· and the power of relationships.
1. Appoint cross-functional teams
To obtain the holistic, integrated view required, it's important that opinions are sourced from all areas of your business: warehousing, inventory, engineering, production and sales. Teams should be formed remotely with members representing a range of ages, disciplines and seniority.
2. Allocate spend reviews
The first task for the teams is to analyse and review purchases from your company's last financial year. Typically, this involves a download of every line item of purchase for the year. This can be a tedious exercise, but it's worthwhile. The process can only kick off once the analysis is complete. Without a robust understanding of your purchase history, the solutions are not comprehensive enough.
Identifying savings opportunities accurately and quickly is largely dependent on the quality of the spend data you have. As a guideline, some of the quicker opportunities are normally procurement process related as opposed to the larger, more complex analytics into the commodities procured and benchmarking of prices and negotiated terms. Some examples of process opportunities might be non-usage of already negotiated contracts, regular late payments of invoices with settlement discounts attached and duplicate supplier payments.
Lastly, spend time to ensure that you have the required data from the onset of performing the analysis. Incomplete data may severely impact the efficiency of your spend analysis and will usually become apparent after performing a large portion of the analysis. By amending data and reworking analytic results, you'll considerably increase the time invested and decrease the risk of a loss of integrity in the result of the analysis.
3. Explore 'out-of-the-box' savings ideas
Explore categories that show promise. Categories can be allocated to different teams so that ideas for savings can be investigated and then rotated to another team for review. These ideas can be innovative, practical, or even downright silly. Nothing is off the table. You have a business to run/save. Identify savings that fall into your short-term plans, without excluding long-term initiatives. Outcomes can be defined and shortlisted into re-engineering, innovation, negotiation and process revamps. It's important to remember that, in most cases, the opportunities that you are able to realise the quickest are the ones in your control. Savings do not have to come from supplier negotiations only. Organisations often underestimate the number of opportunities to be pursued that involves improving the way things are done internally. It's for this reason that the cross-functional teams are so important in times like these as they include people involved in daily operations. These resources are invaluable in highlighting related opportunities for savings and improved efficiency.
In a recent spend management article from Mckinsey, they advise business owners to "set up a 'cash control tower', with representation from both the procurement and sales teams, to examine spend and identify potential reductions in cash outflow."
4. Manage suppliers
That being said, there is no discounting the fact that a large number of savings opportunities will most likely require involvement from suppliers to materialise. Contact them and brainstorm recovery plans that work for you – and for them. We're all in this together, and we need each other now more than ever. Ensure that your plan doesn't just benefit you and your business. Without your suppliers, doing business as usual post-lockdown will be even more of an uphill battle. Work out ways to manage cash flow so that your suppliers can stay afloat.
5. Communication
Arrange forums where multiple suppliers can come together to brainstorm solutions that would benefit both you and them. Appoint follow-on teams to implement the solutions after lockdown.
So where do we come in to all of this? Let us help kick-start your process.
Send us your last year's financial spend data.
We'll analyse it and identify areas of potential savings.
We'll provide guidelines and recommendations for savings, dependent on your industry.
Our experienced consultants can facilitate remote team meetings and guide discussions. We are available during lockdown.
We will also provide benchmarks to guide your team in exploring savings trends.
Next time you hear or read the word 'lockdown', don't panic. You're about to embark on a remarkable journey of adaptation, agility and growth that will propel your business into the future.
Drop us a mail at email@example.com and let's do this … together.

Jason has been doing so many things around the house that I thought I might showcase them. Even if I am the only one who thinks they (and him) are super neat. :o)
I have forced myself to embrace what we have and to stop waiting until we can get the things I would like for the house. By surrendering that silliness and putting up our pictures and curtains (albeit the wrong colors) it has made a huge difference in helping to make this house feel like our home.
The first item on the "honey-do" list was a large collage in the dining area. Most guys (and gals) can swing a hammer and hang a picture, but my honey busts out the level, a pencil, his ruler and does the math. I laid out what I wanted and he put it perfectly on the wall. This warms my heart because he knows how important it is to me that the frames be symmetrical. lol
He did such a great job! The whole time he was hanging these he had his pencil behind his ear for the moments that he needed it. Here is Lorelei already wanting to be like Daddy.

GlamCorner was founded in 2012 in Sydney, Australia by husband and wife duo, Dean Jones and Audrey Khaing-Jones.
GlamCorner is an online fashion rental business that is waging a war on fashion waste by providing a smarter and more sustainable alternative that is better for the community and the environment.
With a vision to solve the "I've got nothing to wear" crisis many women face, GlamCorner's objective is to provide seamless and guilt-free access to designer fashion for less and to reduce the amount of clothing being used for once-off occasions before being discarded.
Since inception, GlamCorner's community has shared over 500 tonnes of clothing to date.
"It was definitely a milestone when we got our B Corp certification and in terms of the passion and the value that it has on the company, the team, the community it's absolutely worth it." - Audrey Khaing-Jones, Co-Founder & COO of GlamCorner
Certified B Corporations (B Corps) are for-profit companies that use the power of business to build a more inclusive and sustainable economy. They meet the highest verified standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability.
As a B Corp, GlamCorner believes protecting people and the planet is good business. It's not just a label - it's real change.
GlamCorner accepted the Banksia Foundation's Sustainability Award for medium-sized business at their 2018 Annual Awards Gala in Melbourne.
This is such a special achievement for us as we pursue our mission to revolutionise the way Australian women consume fashion and apparel forever. This achievement would not have been possible without the ongoing support of our customers.
The whole GC team is very proud and grateful to be recognised as one of Australia's sustainability leaders and innovators by such a prestigious award from one of this country's pioneers in sustainability excellence.
"Fast fashion used to be part of my life. I used to buy a couple of pieces, wear them only a few times & then they would just sit at the back of my closet, but GlamCorner has seriously changed my life." - Angela, Sydney
"My GlamCorner experience has been freeing! It saves me time because I'm not at the shops in my spare time, it takes me 10 minutes to go through the site, pick 3 designer items, and I'm done!" - Amelia, Sydney
"My usual style is plain and minimal, so frilly and floral is alien to me. Renting clothes via GlamCorner let me get playful with my style without giving up wardrobe space – or big money." - Emma, Melbourne
"GlamCorner has enabled me to have an unlimited designer wardrobe for work, holiday, and everyday. Now I can always keep my outfits fun & fresh without having to spend a fortune." - Valeria, Sunshine Coast

One of my greatest numismatic regrets is that I lived in the city of Rochester, New York, for nearly twelve years, and in all that time I never joined the venerable and storied Rochester Numismatic Association.
I've been a coin collector since I was about seven years old. The coin bug bit me hard, and I was hooked through middle school and high school. In college, I kept up with the hobby, to a lesser degree but still actively. At the University of Rochester, I subscribed to Coin World and Numismatic News, bought a little, sold a little, read a lot. But I was fairly solitary in my hobby world, mostly collecting through mail order and learning from books and periodicals, rather than attending many coin shows and joining a local club.
Benefits of Coin Club Membership
Two benefits of every coin club are like-minded camaraderie and a venue to learn directly from longtime collectors. I lost out on that, and my loss was compounded: the Rochester Numismatic Association isn't just any coin club. It's one of the oldest in the United States; it has a rich history, counting famous collectors such as John Jay Pittman among its members; it has a decades-long program of issuing original medals. At the same time, there was a lot I could have offered the club as a writer and artist, but most of my creative energy (outside of classes) I poured into the campus humor magazine, student newspaper, and literary journals.
I don't regret the path I ended up taking as a numismatist, but I do look back and wonder what might have been if I'd been more active in my local club.
When medal collector Timothy J. Corio published his book Rochester Numismatic Association Medals: A Pocket Guide in 2010, I bought a copy as a way of communing with my old city and making up for some of the lost time. (Every RNA president since 1913, including Pittman, has been honored by the club with a portrait medal, and they make an impressive collection. Corio describes them with text and nicely done photography.)
A few years later I was able to add another club-medals book to my library, this one hailing from the Windy City.
William Burd Chronicles the Chicago Coin Club
The Chicago Coin Club is another old and storied numismatic group, and now it, like Rochester, has a book devoted to its club medals. Its title is Medals and Tokens of the Chicago Coin Club. Author William A. Burd, a member of the club since 1993, is also a longtime professional dealer, and owner of the Chicago Coin Company, Inc.
Medals and Tokens of the Chicago Coin Club was published in 2018, as the club was nearing its 2019 centennial. In the introduction, Burd relates how he started his own collection of CCC commemoratives in 1994, with that year's 75th-anniversary medal. "While building this collection, I had difficulty finding background information regarding the various issues," he recalls. "I began to assemble a simple catalog, adding information as I found it. I realized other collectors might benefit from my efforts and decided to put the material into book form."
"Other collectors might benefit" indeed!
Burd's "simple catalog" grew into an impressive 108-page hardcover book, wonderfully illustrated and brimming with history—an "invaluable study," as Carl Wolf says in the foreword, "the most significant work on the subject, a rich source of numismatic history."
The author begins pre-1919, setting the context with items from the CCC's predecessor clubs—the Chicago Numismatic Society and Branch No. 1 of the American Numismatic Association. These early medals of 1907 to 1914 include some delightful and historic pieces, and some real rarities, with connections to millionaire collector Virgil Brand, the USS Nashville, early American aviation, the Art Institute of Chicago, and President William Howard Taft.
The Chicago Coin Club started in 1919, as a reorganization of ANA Branch No. 1. Its token and medal production started that year with an aluminum "one mill" or "one disme" that was handed out to members. That was followed by a 100th-meeting medal in 1927, a counterstamped Columbian Exposition silver half dollar in 1933, a 25th-anniversary medal in 1944, and various counterstamped Mexican pesos and other coins, meeting and anniversary medals, festival commemoratives, elongated coins, plaquettes, invitations, ceramic medallions, ornaments, encased postage, committee tokens, good-fors, and other collectibles issued from the early years to date.
Burd's approach to presenting these pieces, as he acknowledges in the introduction, is more that of a storyteller than a technical writer. Yes, he gives mintages, compositions, sizes, and issue prices, but he presents this data in narrative form—an approach that coin collectors who relish the history behind their treasures will find very engaging.
The photographs of the medals and tokens (by professional photographer Steve Wagner) are accompanied by images of related tickets, badges, steel dies, boxes, books, buttons, and other ephemera. This auxiliary art provides another layer of historical context.
In a separate chapter, Burd describes American Numismatic Association conventions held in Chicago from 1891 to the present day. This chapter is also illustrated with booklets, autographed show programs, medals, convention ribbons and badges, wooden nickels, and other treasures.
Another chapter describes the Central States Numismatic Society conventions held in Chicago from 1939 to date. These assemblies developed their own history of medals, badges, and other collectibles. Many of the medals feature portraits of one of Illinois' most famous citizens, Abraham Lincoln, making them desirable among collectors of Lincolniana. (They're discussed in chapters 3 and 4 of Fred L. Reed's award-winning book Abraham Lincoln: The Image of His Greatness and in its sequel, Abraham Lincoln: Beyond the American Icon.)
An Abundance of Appendices
Burd expands his coverage of the Chicago Coin Club's medals with several appendices. One describes the club's award-medals program (1955 to date, including medals for merit, past presidency, literary accomplishment, exhibiting, and speaking).
These appendices, like the rest of the book, are richly illustrated. They offer medallic art by Ulric H. Ellerhuson and other designers, and images of stamped leather, clamshell money, replica Yap stones, and other curiosities. Robert D. Leonard Jr., author of Curious Currency: The History of Money From the Stone Age to the Internet Age (among other studies of "primitive" money), is a longtime member of the Chicago Coin Club, and his influence is seen in the club's more than 20 souvenir cards accompanied by either replicas or authentic pieces of "odd and curious" money (bark cloth, African trade beads, kisi kilindi money, Civil War postage stamps, actual gold dust, cowrie shells, etc.). Appendix B catalogs these, plus obsolete-currency sheets, various scrip issues, and other club souvenirs. Other appendices describe and catalog club bulletins and periodicals, and medals and tokens produced by a spin-off organization, the Chicago Numismatic Roundtable, in the 1930s and beyond.
Any of these subjects could fill a book of their own, and it's wonderful to see them here, even if they're just summarized in appendix format.
Building or Expanding a Collection
For hobbyists, William Burd's book is a valuable roadmap to collecting Chicago's medals and tokens. It always helps to have an active collector lay the groundwork for you in a standard reference, especially in the field of privately minted commemoratives. Record-keeping is one thing on the federal level: the United States Mint keeps track of things with archivists, historians, an organized infrastructure, and institutional memory maintained by standard documentation and the full depth and breadth of government resources. A coin club has far fewer resources—club activities aren't always well-documented, records can be lost or destroyed over time, memories fade, and club members pass away. Documentation in books like Medals and Tokens of the Chicago Coin Club helps strengthen the hobby's collective memory. That's important whether you live in Chicago or not, whether you belong to this particular club or not.
Excitement Over Medals, and More Celebrations
Another significant aspect of William Burd's Medals and Tokens of the Chicago Coin Club is the sense of inspiration it evokes. Reading this book should excite today's coin-club leaders. It's an impetus to create new medal programs that stand the test of time. What could be better than medals and tokens to commemorate a coin club, honor its officers, recognize its members, and celebrate its milestones? There are many active and experienced medallic artists working in the United States today, available for contract work, who can immortalize your club with beautifully sculptured mementos. Medals are material culture. They ensure that a coin club will be remembered, through numismatic study and collection, well into the future.
"What stood out the most for me in preparing this book was the enthusiasm and energy over the years of club members in their efforts to produce the best medal, the best token, and the best convention," Burd writes. "This enthusiasm began with the Chicago Numismatic Society over a hundred years ago and continues today."
Thousands of hobbyists will celebrate the Chicago Coin Club at the American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money in August this year. The convention is being held in Rosemont, just outside Chicago, and the club will have an exhibit of its medals and tokens on display based on William Burd's research. Soak it all in, and start or expand your own collection! And if you collect rare numismatic literature, be sure to add to your library a copy of the Chicago Coin Club special edition of the 73rd-edition Red Book, from a small limited print run of 250 copies.

You should love your ride.
It's as simple as that.
Omnium was started with one goal – to share our love of bikes. Everything that we stock on our sales floor we either use on a daily basis, or it meets our stringent standards. This goes from the big stuff – like our road bikes all the way down to the little things – like what socks we carry. We believe that if you purchase a product it should work, not cause additional headaches. Buy the right thing first, and it will pay off for years to come.
Our job as Friendly Bike Geeks is to lead you down the right path. You're an individual, not a part of a 'demographic'. We're a smaller shop; we can take the time to ensure that your cycling questions and conundrums are answered and solved. Whatever your bike is to you, whether a commuter, a work-out, a racing steed or just a beater to get the bar; we've got you covered.
Bicycle Brands
We carry a couple of names you might not have heard of before. Instead of choosing to get our bikes all from one source, we buy from many. Different brands do different things well. We want to carry to best bike for all types, not just a brand that sells a really great road bike and also happens to sell a townie. From first bikes to life-time custom made bikes, we've got the right one for you.
Seven // Norco // Cinelli // Tiemeyer // KHS // Pure Fix // State Bicycle Co. // Early Rider
Clothing Brands
Clothing is an often overlooked part of cycling. It tends to be pigeonholed into the 'Skin-Tight-Spandex' category. Although there is plenty of that (and for good reason, it's effective cycle-specific wear) sometimes you're looking for something a little more casual. At Omnium, we get this, and so we sell both sides of the coin. Come on in and discover just how much the right clothing can improve your next ride.
Craft // Ibex // Podiumwear // Darn Tough // Giro
Other Brands
Looking for an upgrade? Maybe a new set of tires or a nice backpack? These are brands that we trust and you'll find them in our shop and below.
