Posts for tag: Family Dentistry
A family dentist is an excellent choice to care for the smiles of your whole family. Family dentists treat patients of all ages so every member of your family can see the same dentist. In addition to the convenience of traveling to one dentist for everyone's appointments, family dentists can provide long-term care for even the youngest members of the family from childhood through adulthood. Gibberman Dental is your family dentistry practice in Alexandria, VA. There, Dr. Paul Gibberman, Dr. Lauren Gibberman or Dr. Maria Hodas can treat the entire family.
What is a Family Dentist?
Some dentists focus on treating a particular age group, such as children or adults only. Family dentists provide dental care to patients of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. Family dentists provide a full range of dental services, including regular dental checkups, professional cleanings, root canals, filling cavities, bridgework, dentures, and treatment of gum disease. Many family dentists also offer various cosmetic services, such as teeth whitening and installation of veneers. Consider a family dentistry practice in Alexandria for all of your family's dental needs.
Benefits of a Family Dentist
A major benefit of having a family dentist care for the smiles of your whole family is convenience. With everyone seeing the same dentist, there is no need to run around to different locations for each family member's dental appointments. Another advantage of having a family dentist is everyone can see the same dentist throughout their lifetime since family dentists treat patients of all ages. There is no need for your children to seek a new dentist once they become adults. They can stick with the same dentist they are already both comfortable and familiar with.
Selecting a family dentist to care for the smiles of your whole family is convenient, practical and offers several benefits. To schedule dental appointments for your family with Dr. Hodas or either Dr. Gibberman, contact Gibberman Dental in Alexandria, VA, by calling (703) 823-6616.
Children are notorious for being picky and stubborn when it comes to their oral health. However, making brushing fun can change their outlook on keeping their smile healthy and help establish an effective oral health routine. Learn some easy tips on teaching your child to brush with your dentists at Gibberman Dental in Alexandria, VA.
Tips on Teaching Your Child to Brush
- Make Brushing Fun: Children have enormous imaginations. Using a game like "playing dentist" can help teach your child the proper techniques for brushing. Use a toy or stuffed animal to show your child the proper way to brush. Then, have them try it on themselves. Alternatively, make up a game to play during brushing time to keep them interested and help build the excitement level while brushing and visiting the dentist. Additionally, try using kid-friendly toothpaste with fun and tasty flavors like bubblegum or strawberry.
- Set a Good Example: Children learn from what they see. If mommy and daddy have great oral care routines, it sets a good example for their children. Be sure to brush twice daily and floss at least once, including your child in your oral care routine. Set a good example by remaining committed to your oral hygiene and setting a solid routine.
- Establish an Effective Routine: Daily routines help children establish self-discipline and get into good habits early. Brushing around the same times every day or after certain activities can help your child establish good oral hygiene habits which will last a lifetime.
Pediatric Dental Examinations and Cleanings in Alexandria, VA
The eruption of a child's first tooth is a good sign they should see their dentist for their first examination and cleaning. However, since not all children's teeth erupt at the same time, the general rule is that a child should see their dentist by the age of one. This allows your dentist to aid in establishing good oral hygiene routines and monitor your child's dental milestones to ensure they reach them normally. Regular dental appointments and cleanings keep your child's teeth clean and healthy and give your dentist the chance to administer the necessary dental care for any issues which may occur.
For more information on teaching your child to brush, please contact Dr. Paul Gibberman, Dr. Lauren B. Gibberman, and Dr. Bindu Vemaraju at Gibberman Dental in Alexandria, VA. Call 703-823-6616 to schedule your child's dental examination today!
Find out when it's time to part with your toothbrush for good.
You replace your razorblade after several uses and the experts tell you to toss those tennis shoes after so many miles, so why shouldn't the same be true for your toothbrush? If you've had the same toothbrush sitting in your bathroom for months, then chances are it's time to part ways and buy a new toothbrush. Your Alexandria, VA family dentist offers up these rules for when you should replace your toothbrush.
Inspect Your Bristles
A good rule of thumb is to replace your toothbrush or toothbrush head about every three to four months; however, the best way to tell whether it's time to get a new toothbrush is to look at the bristles. If they are starting to splay out then it is time to replace it. Fraying bristles won't offer an effective clean like a new toothbrush can. Check out the condition of your toothbrush to figure out whether it's time to throw it away.
Toss After Travel
It's always a good idea to get rid of your toothbrush after traveling with it. While this might seem like overkill, your toothbrush has been handled by airport security and been stuck in luggage and sitting around your hotel bathroom. You have no idea what kinds of germs are lurking in your toothbrush. While no one wants to think about germs while on vacation, take a second to get yourself a new brush once you return home.
Replace After an Illness
If you've been sick the germs and bacteria are now sitting on your toothbrush. You don't want to reinfect yourself. Therefore, when you have fully recovered from your illness, it's time to spring for a new, clean toothbrush.
Call Gibberman Dental Today!
Of course at-home brushing is an essential part of preventive care when it comes to keeping a healthy, cavity-free smile; however, this isn't all you need to do. You should also see your Alexandria family dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and routine exam. If you want to keep gum disease and dental decay away, you need to schedule your next six-month appointment with us.
Are you a patient of Gibberman Dental? If so, we would love to hear about your experiences below!
Find out why everyone needs to have a family dentist they can turn to in Alexandria, VA.
Nothing is more important than you and your family's health. You try to focus on eating right, exercising regularly and brushing your teeth. However, how often do you actually see your dentist? While it's important to take healthy strides at home, it's just as important to make sure that you see a professional who can make sure you are in ideal health. Here are just some reasons why having a family dentist in Alexandria, VA is a must.
Your Child's Oral Health
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry advises that children start to see their family dentist in Alexandria, VA regularly after the age of one (or when their first tooth erupts). The sooner your child begins to see their dentist the better preventive measures both you and your dentist can take to ensure that your child doesn't suffer from cavities or gum disease.
Your Oral Health
Are you seeing your dentist every six months for cleanings and exams? If not, what are you waiting for? While some people wait until there is a problem to see the dentist, it is less time-consuming and costly to take part in preventive care rather than exhaustive and invasive dental procedures.
Here are reasons that you and your child should see your Alexandria, VA family dentist:
- To have questions answered about your dental health or any current issues
- To learn how to teach your child proper at-home brushing and flossing techniques
- To receive preventive treatments (e.g. dental sealants)
- To make sure that your child's mouth is healthy and developing as it should
- To prevent bad oral habits (e.g. teeth grinding)
What can my family dentist do?
We offer a full range of dental services; however, whenever possible, we like to focus on preventive care. After all, no one wants to deal with having a tooth filled or a dental crown put on. We want to stop the problem before it even occurs. This means, however, that patients need to see us every six months for routine care.
While twice a year might seem excessive, it's important to remove plaque and tartar buildup and to check for any other potential dental issues that you may not see. Just because you don't experience any symptoms doesn't mean there aren't problems.
Whether you are experiencing tooth pain or it's time to just schedule your next six-month cleaning, Gibberman Dental is here to provide you with the best dental care in Alexandria, VA. Call us today to schedule your next appointment!

Reaching for New Heights
Cason Gardner of Atlee eyed the bar as it stood on its two standards, six feet and nine inches above the synthetic surface of the high jump pit at Todd Stadium. While others sweltered in the heat around him, Gardner maintained his cool for 15 seconds before hurtling his tall frame toward the bar, leaping off his right foot, spinning and bending backward into a Fosbury flop as his torso sailed over the bar, only to clip it with both of his hamstrings on the way down toward to the blue mat behind the south goalpost of the stadium.
Rather than funnel more energy into repeating the same process, Gardner decided to call it a day after one jump, and with that decision, completed his 5A state-winning performance with a best jump of 6-8. With the win, Gardner added a high jump outdoor crown to the one he won during indoor season.
While others might have tried again to aim for a personal best, Gardner's mind was focused more on his Atlee squad. Speaking after the event, the George Mason-bound senior explained his reasoning.
"I have a lot of pain in my shins. But I'm going to do everything I can for my team," said Gardner, who earlier in the day had been eliminated from the 110-meter hurdles, but would be facing the long jump, 400 and 4x400 meter events the next day. "I think we're in the running, and I can't wait for tomorrow." As he looked hyped up, the next question dealt with how he would be able to maintain an even keel through Friday night into Saturday morning.
"My coaches. Robert Lewis, Scott Crow and Tyler Bush are able to calm me down, and get me back into (focus). They were there today when I missed 6-6 on the first two jumps. I wouldn't be here without them. I have to thank my coaches, and they'll help me get a good night's sleep."
Gardner held his own on Saturday, placing fourth in the long jump (23 feet) and 400 (49.28). Finally, to end the day, Gardner anchored the seventh place Atlee 4x400 relay to a time of 3:26.04, cementing a second-place team performance for the Mechanicsville school.
Gardner's versatility, while accounting for 21 of the Raiders 52 points, will continue to benefit him as he prepares for college at GMU. His next challenge at competing over two days will take his talents to the extreme.
Asked what event the coaches at the Fairfax school would have him focus on, he gave a surprising answer. "The decathlon." Mason has a history of successful decathletes, dating back to Olympian Rob Muzzio in the 1980's and including current athletes Josh Grant and John Seales.
It wasn't necessarily the opportunity to compete in ten events over two days that drew Gardner to GMU.
"It felt right," said Gardner who is presently aiming to major in pre-med or biology, but definitely "something that helps people recuperate and requires a doctorate." He had drawn interest from West Point and UNC, but was quickly attracted to George Mason.
"I went on my official visit, and it was amazing the friends I made just in the 48 hours I was there. It's a family that I can't wait to be a part of."
He also credited assistant coach Kevin McGorty as being instrumental in the process. "(McGorty) made it the right decision (for me)."
From all accounts, Gardner's choice in schools should a right decision for all parties involved.

Rice cooker and crock pot may be similar that they offer great ease and convenience. You just need to turn them on, then you can leave them to work while you are preparing other foods. Even so, rice cooker vs crock pot work in different manners, and they offer different benefits. They are suitable for different uses.
In the article below, you can read more about:
- How rice cookers and crock pots operate?
- The distinctive features and benefits of rice cooker vs crock pot,
- The foods that you can cook using a rice cooker or crock pot, and
- How to choose between a rice cooker and crock pot?
How Rice Cooker Works
A rice cooker is an automatic kitchen appliance designed to steam or boil rice. As explained by Wikipedia, a rice cooker is composed of several components, including a heat source, a thermostat, and a cooking bowl. More advanced models may come with other components and sensors, suitable for a wider range of purposes. See also: Slow Cooker High vs Low.
Most rice cookers follow a basic operation principle. To use a rice cooker, you put the rice and some water into the cooking bowl and turn it on. The cooking bowl is heated at full power during the cooking process. At the end of the cooking process, there is no water left. Most water is absorbed by the rice, and some is boiled off and vaporized.
As the heating continues, the temperature can now rise above the boiling point. This triggers the thermostat to trip, hence switching the rice cooker into the low-power "warming" mode. In this mode, the rice is kept heated at a safe temperature of about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Simpler models may just switch off after finished cooking.
Advantages of a Rice Cooker
There are some distinctive advantages of a rice cooker vs crock pot. Because of their unique advantages, they are not exactly interchangeable. Instead, they are suitable for different needs and purposes. When choosing between the two, consider about which one that gives you the most benefits.
The most important thing about a rice cooker is that it is built for speed. Unlike crock pots which are designed to cook slowly, rice cookers are meant to boil and cook as quick as possible. A rice cooker is primarily used to prepare raw rice or any other grain quickly, so that you can focus on other dishes and kitchen items.
Rice cookers simplify the process of cooking rice. Traditionally, cooking rice requires constant attention to ensure that the rice is cooked well and isn't burnt. Electric rice cookers can automate this process by controlling the heat and timing. You only need to measure the rice and use the correct amount of water for the best texture.
Rice cookers are suitable for cooking grains. You can use a rice cooker to cook rice, oatmeal, quinoa, millet. Some modern models also come with the ability to cook sticky rice, porridge, soups, or stews. Some models can also coo sponge cakes.
Disadvantages of a Rice Cooker
Keep in mind that rice cookers are not suitable for cooking certain types of grains and dishes. These recipes include paella, risotto, and stuffed peppers. These recipes need to be cooked by hand.
Although a rice cooker can cook quickly and then keep the food warm throughout the day, it is not suitable when you need to cook slowly. The quick cooking process does not extract as much flavor as slow cooking. In addition, quick cooking with a rice cooker is not suitable for cooking meats. You need to cook meats slowly at a lower temperature in order to soften the texture.
How Crock Pot Works
On the other hand, a crock pot or slow cooker is an electrical cooking appliance designed to simmer a food. A crock pot cooks at a lower temperature level than other cooking methods such as frying, boiling, and baking. This allows it to cook unattended for long hours. A crock pot is suitable for cooking foods that are normally boiled such as stews, soups, and pot roasts, in addition to some desserts, dips, and beverages.
To cook with a crock pot, you place the food and some liquid into the container. You may use water, stock, or wine for the liquid, as directed by the recipe. Note that some recipes may require pre-heated liquids. Make sure that the food is completely soaked by the liquid. Close the lid and turn the crock pot on.
The crock pot has a heating element which heats the content at a steady temperature. The liquid transforms into a vapor which is condensed at the bottom of the lid and returns to the food as liquid. The liquid is essential for transferring heat and distributing flavors evenly through the food. A crock pot switches automatically from cooking to warming, either after the internal temperature reaches a set value or after a fixed amount of time is passed.
Advantages of a Crock Pot
Crock pots are great for cooking recipes that require long cooking times. You can put the food in a crock pot and leave it cooking for multiple hours, while you are doing other things. It will not make the food overcooked or burnt.Also, many homeowners with solar panels have switched to crock pots because these devices require less than 1kW of power to operate.
Slow cooking with a crock pot is suitable for a wide range of foods, most particularly meats and stews. The slow cooking process can make connective tissue and lean muscles become softer and easier to chew. In addition, it also extracts and blends more flavors, hence making the food's flavor richer.
Disadvantages of a Crock Pot
Vegetables need to be blanched first before being cooked in a crock pot. This is because the slow cooking will not be able to denature enzymes that may destroy the contained vitamins and nutrients during the cooking. Blanched vegetables have had those enzymes rendered ineffective, so they can be cooked by a crock pot without losing their vitamins and nutrients.
Obviously, crock pots are not suitable when you need to cook quickly. These devices are designed to cook for multiple hours. When you need to cook quickly, you need to use quicker cooking methods.
A crock pot is at a bigger risk when there is an extended power outage during the cooking process. For example, if the power go out for several hours and there is no alternative source of power, the food in the crock pot will not get cooked in time. The cooking process needs to be restarted once the power goes on.
Rice Cooker vs Crock Pot
|Rice Cooker
|Crock Pot
|- Automatic kitchen appliance designed to steam or boil rice
|- Electrical cooking appliance designed to simmer a food
|- Cooks quickly, less than a few hours
|- Cooks slowly, may take 2 – 12 hours
|- Suitable for cooking grains, soups, stews
|- Great for cooking soups, meats, stews, roasts
|- Simple, easy, and quick
|- Can extract richer flavors and soften meats
Rice cooker vs crock pot have different unique benefits, and are suitable for different purposes. Rice cookers are made to cook quickly, but they can keep the foods warm for long. Rice cookers are suitable for cooking grains, soups, and some stews, but not for meats. On the other hand, crock pots are designed to cook slowly at a lower temperature. The slow cooking can soften meats and extract more flavors.

Supermarkets Tesco and Asda are fighting each other to see who will be selling the cheapest blu-ray player in the UK in the build up to the lucrative Christmas period.
Asda currently has the upper hand with a Philips Blu-ray player, the BDP2700/05, costing as little as £57 excluding delivery although you can collect the device for free at selected stores; Amazon in comparison sells the same player for £90.
As expected, it can play DiVX movies and upscale content to full 1080p resolution; in addition it has a front USB port which can be quite handy although we're not sure whether you can stream from anything other than FAT32 devices.
Tesco's counteroffer is a Technika BRSS10 Blu-ray player which carries a 25 per cent discount, bringing the price down to £59.97. It has an Ethernet port which enables BD-Live features, picture-in-picture functionality but no front USB port like the Philips one.
The other usual suspects; Sainsburys, Argos, Amazon or DSGi have yet to come up with their lower cost competitors. Two years ago, the first Blu-ray player under £100 appeared on the market courtesy of Argos; at the current rate, we wouldn't be surprise to see a £49.99 Blu-ray player on the shelves.

Advice needed: iOS App to track food intake
Hey, #fbfamily!
As I have already mentioned in some of my replies, I track my calorie intake daily (I keep a food diary). However, it is super inconvenient to use a Word document to do that on a daily basis.
Could you help me out here? I have an iPhone, and it would be great to have an app where I could log in my food intake (separate products and meals) throughout the day. I don't need specifics (macro-nutrients), just weight and calories. I need it to be very simple and also with options of manual entry (I am in Russia and I can't ever find any local brands I buy here in any of the popular apps, so I will be typing in manually).
What apps are you using? What could you recommend? I have tried MyFitnessPal, and I don't like it, too complicated.
Thank you so much in advance, friends!

It didn't get the most attention, but one of the newsiest pieces of information to come out of Thursday's hearing with fired FBI Director James Comey was not about President Donald Trump, but about Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Comey gave an account of Sessions' recusal from the Russia investigation that contradicts Sessions' own public statement about why he recused himself.
Comey and his FBI colleagues did not tell Sessions about Trump's improper February request for Comey to "let go" the criminal investigation of former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Comey said they kept Sessions out of the loop because they expected he would soon recuse himself from the Russia investigation. And, Comey said, he could not discuss the reasons for that expected recusal in an unclassified session of testimony.
Comey said (emphasis mine):
"Our judgment as I recall was that he was very close to, and inevitably going to, recuse himself for a variety of reasons. We also were aware of facts that I can't discuss in an open setting, that would make his continued engagement in a Russia-related investigation problematic. And so we were — we were confronted and, in fact, I think we had already heard that the career people were recommending that he would recuse himself, that he was not going to be in contact with Russia-related matters much longer. That turned out to be the case."
Sessions did in fact recuse himself about two weeks later, on March 2. But at a press conference that day, Sessions said the reason for his recusal was simply that he had been involved in the 2016 presidential campaign and therefore should not oversee investigations related to that campaign.
Sessions said (emphasis mine):
"I have met with senior officials shortly after arriving here. We evaluated the rules of ethics and recusal. I have considered the issues at stake. In fact, on Monday of this week, we set a meeting with an eye to a final decision on this question. And on Monday, we set that meeting today. So this was a day that we planned to have a final discussion about handling this. I asked for their candid and honest opinion about what I should do about investigations, certain investigations. And my staff recommended recusal. They said that since I had involvement with the campaign, I should not be involved in any campaign investigation. I have studied the rules and considered their comments and evaluation. I believe those recommendations are right and just."
Obviously, Sessions' role as a surrogate and adviser to Trump during the 2016 campaign is not classified and is not a matter that Comey would have had to reserve for a closed session. So, Comey's account of Sessions' recusal directly contradicts Sessions' own public account of why he recused himself.
So, what were the facts about the sitting Attorney General that forced his recusal that can't be discussed in an unclassified setting?

A California family was expecting their newest addition to be big, but nobody predicted that Raymond Reyes would making his debut on April 30 weighing a whopping 13.5 pounds.
"Nothing fits him," Jenna Reyes, Raymond's mother, told ABC 7. Reyes explained her new bundle of joy uses size 2 Pampers and wears clothes typically made for 3- to 6-month-old babies.
A nurse who works in labor and delivery at Mercy Medical Center, in Merced, California, told the news outlet he's the biggest baby she's seen in her seven years at the hospital.
Reyes said her older children were big babies, but not close to 13 pounds. She had been expecting Raymond to weigh around 10 or 11 pounds, and opted for a Caesarian-section delivery. Raymond spent about a week in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit to treat jaundice and low calcium and sodium levels, ABC 7 reported.
The family is thrilled to have Raymond home. and Reyes said he would be her last baby.

It's Google's birthday today! 1998-2017. Next year will be the big two oh. Hugh Hefner won't see it because he died today. Personally I think he's been dead for a while.
(Note that all the photos in this post are of Nerac because I didn't think much of Luvaduck.)
There are few things that please a weasel more than cheese (along with beer and sausages, obviously) and while there's many things you can do with cheese, making ice cream with it is a very new concept for us. At least it was until tonight.
But more about that later.
Yesterday I forgot to mention possibly the most almost disastrous thing that has happened during WA17. I cannot believe I forgot it but forgot it I did. Personally I blame Bev but that is seriously unfair given she had nothing to do with it.
When last in Venice, Anthea had a local artist twist some silly bits of coloured cotton on the top of a baseball cap she happened to have and call it art. She has worn it with loving pride ever since. The thing is, the little nobbly bit on the top makes the perfect grab handle for trees that come a little bit too close to the boat.
This was demonstrated with great skill by John as we putted our way up the River Baise yesterday.
Whenever we reach a low bridge or trees it's imperative that anyone at the front of the boat yells "BRIDGE" or "TREES" whenever appropriate. It gives most passengers the advantage of getting out of the way if they so choose. Anthea has not been good at hearing these warnings. I don't know why except maybe she's just concentrating on pigeon houses a little bit too much.
Anyway, as we putted up the river, there was a sudden yell of "TREE" to which most of us ducked well below any required treeline. Anthea, forgetting she was wearing her cotton topped cap, didn't duck quite enough and the tree claimed her headgear.
There was great consternation in the boat as John quickly reversed and started heading backwards towards the offending foliage. Miraculously the cap remained in the tree hanging by the strange art on the top – by a thread, literally. And Anthea managed to snatch it back, basically unharmed.
But enough of yesterday…today we set off after John and I went for the usual pastry run (which included an espresso each in the self same sports bar where we had beer yesterday where the chap was still very friendly) before heading back down to the boat as the clock struck 8 dongs of the morning bell.
I spent an inordinate amount of time removing the plague proportions of dead flies from the boat. Darren remarked that the flies were actually only born yesterday so it's no wonder they didn't know enough to go somewhere else for the night.
The trip down the river was characterised by some pretty scary locks, particularly when we were going up. Scary though they may have been they were also very pretty – the river is always more attractive than the canal, I must say. They were also extremely narrow. Most of them looked like the boat would hardly fit…widthways.
Still, we managed to reach our destination of Nerac shortly before the lunching time and went for a walk.
Actually the entrance into Nerac from the river was quite amazing. The book we have describes it as unforgetable and it is pretty good. Whether I'll remember it remains to be seen. I've not been particularly good so far this trip.
There was a couple of quite pretty churches – one on one bank, the other on the other – that were built sometime in the 19th century. There was some seriously good stained glass work and one of them had two very impresive rose windows. The first one had an interesting Joan (dressed as a simple peasant rather than the usual warrior) and the other had some Old Testament stories in glass…which is odd because I thought Catholics didn't consider the Old Testament that much.
After the churches we found a delightful hostelry whereupon we devoured a couple of glasses of Leffe each. It was the perfect remedy for too much walking and not enough drinking.
And then, finally, lunch on the boat, in the sun.
There was the hint of a walk to the royal garden but everyone was sleepy and just sort of lazed around until it was time for dinner.
We had made a booking for 7:30 for the amazing Le Vert Galant in the morning – we just happened to bump into the old lady that works there as we passed by – and, given it was just a few hundred feet away, we left at 7:30.
Along with the most extraordinarily bewildering menu we had a lady in a wheelchair come and explain the food to us. The meals come with ice cream, she told us. Savoury and sweet ice cream depending on the meal, she told us.
While they had recipes for 128 ice creams they only had slots in the kitchen for 84, she told us. She'd been experimenting with ice cream since she was eight, she told us.
She told us lots of stuff then went and told the other two boating parties also sitting on the terrace with us.
Most of us decided to begin with an ice cream starter. Mine was camembert and unbelievably amazing. John had goats cheese. For reasons known only to her, Anthea had prune juice. That's not ice cream, mind, but just a glass of prune juice.
For my main I had a chorizo laden slice of thin bread with cheese and other delights with a tomato and basil sorbet. And I finished the meal with a single scoop of rose ice cream.
For dessert Darren had pistachio and lavender ice creams. He liked the pistachio but thought the lavender rather odd. In fact he thought it was like eating laundry detergent. I'm not sure if that was a complaint or merely an observation.
As usual I took a photo of my meal because it looked so good.
Everyone agreed that it was a most incredible meal. In fact, for one of the few times, all weasels were silent during a meal as each one of us experienced our own form of food nirvana.
God, it was good!

What You Need to Know About Columbus Escape Rooms
A new entertainment concept that escapes room is only designed for ten people. So that your goal to be simple, you need to work as a team and more so have your skills put together to escape from a locked room. Since the goal is simple that doesn't mean the game is also simple but more challenging since you need to work with lots of effort to escape the room. In any case, the rooms are not scary at all costs; this is because the chamber has a sad backstory which sets the tone. To set and prepared for the game, you need to arrive more prior than the scheduled time for the game to start.
It is of great importance to arrive early before the time the game was scheduled so that it allows the necessary time to fill out your paperwork and receive the mission and also the backstory concerning your specific room theme escape. In case you are late, you will not be permitted into the place hence the office will be closed because you will be passed the time you signed for. The looking of the room can be disappointing to players since the money paid is not refundable. In that case, if it happens that you have bought less than ten as ten is still the number of people to buy at once, you have to be prepared to share the room with the guests.
For instance, if the number of people is not full, there is the possibility of other people buying the tickets hence you will have to interact with most people, have great time and definitely meet new friends. However, you are free to leave anytime you feel to, but if you go early before completing all the clues of the game, you will be disqualified from the competition. In the game, there is a requirement of participants being eighteen years of age or even older, and in the chamber, there is always a paying adult within. Since it is a part of a night out, you don't need to come along with beverages or drinks, so you need to be sober and save the beverages to be taken after the game.
The bookings on this site must be made earlier enough so that it will make sure that there won't be too many players within each given session. If you are not able to escape, and the game is over, you will definitely have to get out. The Columbus escape room indeed provides an excellent experience that will mentally challenge your team in a race against time. With the experience in the game, you will interact with many and discover more new friends, and with that, it would have to bind many people from the institution.

On Monday, October 21, the Dramatists Guild of America celebrated the launch of its new podcast, TALKBACK, at The Cutting Room.
TALKBACK is a six episode podcast series, co-produced by the DG's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, and BOOM Integrated, and distributed by Broadway Podcast Network. The podcast entertains frank conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion; it asks the tough questions, and doesn't have all the answers, but digs into dialogue that's vital and messy and real.
Podcast host Christine Toy Johnson led a brief panel, comprised of podcast guests Kia Corthron, Anita Hollander, and Lynne Marie Rosenberg, that addressed the significance of TALKBACK's mission.
"The overarching goal for all of this is to be a conversation starter," Johnson stated. "We are sent so many messages that we don't belong in the world, that we're not invited. Having these conversations helps me to feel that I do belong."
Many of the podcast guests agree with Johnson about the importance of having such conversations. "It was such a pleasure to be in a room with other professionals I admire and love, but with whom I never had a chance to talk about these issues before," said Lynne Marie Rosenberg, writer, actor, and host of Famous Cast Words, who participated in the fourth episode of TALKBACK.
"We don't often have a chance to sit down and have these conversations," explained Garlia Cornelia Jones, a founder of a series for Black playwrights and a line producer at The Public Theater, who appears on the third episode of TALKBACK. "More of these conversations need to take place."
"It's important to understand and to ask questions and to engage," added podcast guest Anita Hollander, a writer, performer, and the National Chair of Performers with Disabilities for SAG-AFTRA.
The first season of the podcast explores writing outside of one's lived experience, diverse and inclusive casting, contemporary theatrical criticism, and more. Next season, according to producer Amy VonMacek, the podcast will investigate the theme of access, and all that entails.
The first episode of TALKBACK, "It's Not My Story It's Yours: Appropriation vs. Appreciation," which features Mashuq Mushtaq Deen, Larissa FastHorse, Anita Hollander, David Henry Hwang, and Diep Tran, is now able for download: https://broadwaypodcastnetwork.com/podcast/talk-back/

How Sci- fi Seeped through Asian Lore
Did you know the first science fiction with aliens and outer space was written in Greek in the second century, almost two thousand years ago?
The novel, A True Story, was written by Lucian of Samosata, an author of Assyrian descent. He wrote of aliens and outer space and battles between the residents of the sun and moon and also a battle inside the stomach of a whale. It seems like a highly amusing plot from the current day perspective.
British critic, academic and novelist Kinglsey Amis wrote about A True Story in New Maps of Hell: A Survey of Science Fiction (1960): "I will merely remark that the sprightliness and sophistication of True History make it read like a joke at the expense of nearly all early-modern science fiction, that written between, say, 1910 and 1940."
The twentieth century had greats like John W Campbell, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke and many more. Science fiction drew from the world of fantasy, reality and speculative to create a rich genre for readers.
Asia had its fair share of sci- fi in non- English languages. Begum Rokeya was a feminist and a sci- fi writer at the turn the twentieth century. Writer and film- maker Satyajit Ray is a legend in this genre. Vandana Singh, Samit Basu, Liu Cixin( of Wandering Earth fame) are a few more names that spring to ones mind when we think of the current century.
An essay in Prism, interestingly traces the genre back to Jagadish Chandra Bose, the well known scientist, Urdu writer Ghalib Lakhnavi and Hindi writer Devaki Nandan Khatri. Read more about how science fiction in Asia evolved by clicking here.

Protecting Your Lips
Keeping your lips from getting dried out over the cold months is easier said than done. Many of us think that it's one of those things that you just have to put up with. However, there are one or two tricks that could help you look after your lips this winter.
The first and most important thing you can do is cover and protect your lips. We know that the cold air dries out your lips and causes them to crack and split. Covering your mouth with a scarf can help retain the moisture in your lips, which can help reduce dryness and cracking.
Our second tip that can help prevent sore or uncomfortable lips is to try and stop licking them. Although it may feel better at first, when your saliva dries it actually takes away moisture from your lips. If your lips are feeling dry, lip balm is a good alternative.
Check out our website for dental tips and more.
Holiday Open Hours
On Public Holidays the practice listed below can be contacted for emergency dental care.
Both new and existing patients are able to make use of this extended service.

Why Do We Crave Pumpkin Spice Lattes?
This year, I noticed the exact moment when I started craving copious amounts of cinnamon on everything. I've loved cinnamon for a while — cinnamon teas, on oatmeal, in smoothies, on meat, you name it. But I hadn't even thought of it all summer … until autumn hit.
No one craves pumpkin spice lattes in August; that sounds dreadful, hot and heavy. So I turned to the ancient science of Ayurveda to find what really makes us crave pumpkin spice.
Seasonal Change
After months of 90+ degree weather, we crave brisk air and sweater weather. But this change comes quick. The days become shorter and the temperature drops, all while you're readjusting to the school season. After a summer of endless days, this is a shock for the body.
Our bodies scramble to protect ourselves from heat loss. Like trees, we begin to pull energy from our extremities into our core. Trees pull their sap inwards, causing the leaves to die and drop. The cold also causes to pull blood flow centrally, or vasoconstriction. The more blood on the surface in our extremities, the more we lose heat.
With reduced blood flow, our muscles feel more tired, and spending a night curled up on the couch starts to sound better. The muscles of the digestive system become sluggish as well, and are sensitive to stress.
In Ayurvedic theory, the key to immunity and health is keeping the nervous system stable throughout change. This means consuming grounding foods and relaxing to let the body thicken its skin to prepare for winter. Irregular meals, a rigorous social life, and staying up late is a recipe for more stress and depletion in autumn.
Wise Cravings
In order to keep balance, we intuitively crave warming spices. Pumpkin pie spice is made up of four ancient warming spices: cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves.
These spices combat every aforementioned problem: cinnamon and ginger boost circulation to the extremities, warm the core, and are an expectorant for sluggish mucus congestion; nutmeg is a mild sedative, reducing stress. Cinnamon also keeps blood sugar and insulin response more stable, making it very beneficial in desserts.
Pumpkin itself is grounding, full of vitamins and calm-inducing properties. Combined with these spices, pumpkin spice anything can help digestion and lessen gas issues.
For many of us, autumn feels like an old familiar friend. We connect this time to warming up with family, sharing meals and good feelings.
Unlike any other sense we have, smell goes directly to our limbic system (our emotional center) before any other processing. So we have a direct, unconscious connection between smell and the memories associated. 80 percent of flavor is smell. Add sugar into that equation, and that's as addictive as it gets.
This trifecta of stress on the body, intuitive cravings, plus sugar-heightened nostalgia definitely validates the pumpkin spice craze. So listen to your cravings! But remember to reduce sugar and find healthier options whenever you can. Here's a recipe to get you started.
Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe
1 cup coconut or almond milk
½ cup organic coffee
2 tbsp pumpkin puree
½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp vanilla
2-4 drops of liquid stevia (or sweetener of choice)
1 pinch salt
1 tbsp cannabis butter (optional, of course)
Warm coconut milk and coffee together. Blend in all ingredients with an immersion blender or countertop blender. Pour into a mug, sprinkle cinnamon on top and enjoy!

One of the key challenges of change management is helping people overcome the fear of change. So what exactly about the change do people fear?
When managing change, it's important to remember that it's not the event that people fear, but the meaning they give it. And this meaning is determined by the quality of the questions they silently ask about it. If they have a pessimistic disposition, chances are they'll be dwelling on a question like "what's the worst that could happen?" Fear takes over. And if this is not curbed, resentment. Disempowerment. Denial. Rejection. Depression.
Say the event is about an organisational restructure. Typical responses are going to be "I am going to lose my job", which means "I am not going to be able to pay the bills" which means "I am going to let my family down", etc. Or "my managers don't care" or "I am too old for this"… you get the drift. Lots of gnashing of teeth!
"The only thing to fear is fear itself" – Theodore Roosevelt
Conversely, imagine if they were to dwell on "what's the opportunity in this" or "what's GREAT about this"? Chances are they'll come up with answers like "another opportunity for me to learn and grow", "I am glad my managers are being proactive leaders" or "this is just the push I need to finally do what I've always wanted to do". Which brings about Gratitude. Empowerment.
"It's not the blowing of the wind, it's the setting of the sails" – Jim Rohn
In short, one of the most powerful tools you can offer yourself and your staff in dealing with the sort of change that you just can't change is to empower them with the emotional competencies of "self-awareness", "emotional self-control" and the skills of habitually asking more empowering questions.
Make this a truly outstanding day!

NBN asbestos chaos
Telstra has admitted that up to one in five of its suburban communications pits contains asbestos, fuelling fears the National Broadband Network rollout could expose a big number of workers and households to the deadly fibre.
The danger led the Federal Government to call an emergency meeting yesterday with Telstra and NBN officials to discuss the threat.
It also invited asbestos advocates, union leaders and Australia's chief health officer to help co-ordinate a national response to public anxiety.
Telstra boss David Thodey conceded "hundreds of thousands" of the telco's asbestos-lined pits and ducts would need to be repaired before being ready for the NBN.
And Communications Minister Stephen Conroy admitted the widespread use of asbestos in the past threatened to further delay the already slow rollout of the $37 billion superfast internet network.
The NBN will go to households via Telstra's existing infrastructure, forcing construction workers to open old pits and ducts built decades ago, many of which have asbestos lining on the walls.
There has been an explosion in reports across the nation of poorly trained subcontractors mishandling asbestos as they lay fibre optic cables.
The NBN rollout in WA is one of the slowest of any State, with no homes connected yet.
There has been only one official investigation into the mishandling of asbestos in WA as part of the NBN build - believed to be in Victoria Park in February.
But the communications union claims many of the 300 people working on the NBN in WA could have been unwittingly exposed to fibres.
Head of the Federal workplace safety body Comcare, Paul O'Connor, has confirmed a recent spike in asbestos complaints associated with the NBN rollout.
Testifying to a Senate hearing yesterday, he said of the 30 asbestos-related issues recorded since 1996 relating to telecommunications pits, two-thirds were since January 1 and almost half were in the past six weeks.
Mr O'Connor questioned whether some workers were properly trained to deal with asbestos.
The Opposition targeted Workplace Relations Minister Bill Shorten amid revelations he wrote to Telstra in 2009 expressing concern about communications workers being exposed to asbestos.
Shadow communications minister Malcolm Turnbull questioned whether Mr Shorten had raised the issue more widely across Government as the NBN rollout ramped up. Mr Shorten said the Government would set up a task force to monitor worker and community exposure to asbestos as part of the NBN rollout.
The Government would also create an asbestos exposure register for those who feared they had been in contact with the deadly dust.
Senator Conroy said he did not expect there would be any extra cost to the NBN as a result of the asbestos scare because Telstra had responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of the pits.

Getting To Know Your New Favorite Meat Strip
I got my first pack of Sausage Strips. What do I do now?
It's important to put your first Sausage Strip under glass and frame it, as if it was the first dollar made by your small business. After you do that, you can prepare Sausage Strips in a variety of different ways.
I like my bacon crispy. How do I create that same crisp with Sausage Strips?
For crispy edges with a tender bite, heat strips over medium-high heat for a short time. Heating them low and slow causes them to become tough. Give a little bit of a heat and ensure you're not letting them burn. When they're done, let them sit for a bit. We know that's easier said than done. But relax. Enjoy the aromas. The Strips will continue to crisp as they cool.
I like air-frying things. Can I cook Sausage Strips in an air fryer?
Great question. Yes. First, set air fryer to 400°F. Twist the strips once or twice and place in a single layer on fryer screen. Heat for 5-10 minutes. As is the case in most flavor adventures, some experimentation is necessary.
I like deep frying things. Can I deep fry Sausage Strips?
I can see you're preparing for the State Fair. Good thinking. But be careful with Sausage Strips and deep frying. When heated in a deep fat fryer, Sausage Strips splatter quite a bit. So if you're concerned about the integrity of your clothes and/or skin, we would not recommend this cooking method.
I like crumbling bacon. Can I crumble Sausage Strips?
When a recipe calls for cooked crumbled bacon: cut strips into pieces and fry in a skillet. As mentioned before, let them be for a few minutes after they're done cooking. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
I like wrapping things in bacon. Can I wrap things with Sausage Strips?
You better believe you can. Here's a tip. Before you wrap your favorite vegetable, burger or ocean prawn, cut the Sausage Strips in half, length-wise. This thinner strip will allow you to cover smaller, more asymmetrical food (like shrimp) better.
Shockingly, we didn't consume all the Sausage Strips we cooked. How should I reheat them?
Firstly, we're actually impressed with your self-control. Secondly, you have uncovered a secret. Sausage Strips taste great reheated. Here's the best way. Place the Sausage Strip on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a paper towel. Microwave for 15 seconds, or until hot. That's it. That's the tip.

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Lil Wayne started chanting something at a concert in New Orleans over this past weekend (August 27).
However, much to the delight of fans, Weezy's chant had nothing to do with his ongoing feud against Cash Money and Birdman. In fact, instead of going in on his largest rival, the rapper used his spotlight to draw attention to the nation's most important movement, Black Lives Matter.
During Lil Wayne's performance, which was streamed live on Tidal, he was inspired to make a statement on our nation's current events, and his powerful words grew into a chant with everyone in attendance applauding the message.
"We are Black America," Weezy addressed the crowd. "Black Lives Matter! Clothes don't matter, cars don't matter, nothing else matters 'cuz Black Lives Matter."
While the audience was very receptive to his BLM call to action, it wouldn't have been a Lil Wayne show in 2016 without at least one comment directed towards Cash Money.
"Before I get out this motherf***a, I want to say three more important words: f**k Cash Money," he concluded his show.
Hey, he had to get at least one of those in.
Check out Wayne riling up the crowd with his words regarding Black Lives Matter in the clip below.

Won this Thursday night got it this morning! Amazing. Much nicer than the pics make it look. Great construction, neck through, pup reads about 7.5k, hardly played, nitro finish, could be a brazilian board. Strangest bridge I've ever seen but works fine, will have to remove it and try to identify what it is. Will take better pics after the hurricane blows through Raleigh, NC. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r423517491

Cleveland Cavaliers LeBron James posted a meme on Instagram late Monday night, and his followers immediately guessed that it was a reference to former teammate Kyrie Irving.
The NBA champion posted a photo of the famous clenched fist meme from the television show "Arthur." He captioned the meme, "Mood…"
"Kyrie's just proving to you that you needed him that's all," one commenter wrote.
Irving scored 35 points Monday night in a Boston Celtics' win over the Atlanta Hawks.
"[Why] this mood @kingjames. Cause your team under 500 n kyrie is over 500," another commenter wrote.
I don't know what the motivation behind this stupid post is, but if it's a reference to Irving, there's no reason for LeBron James to be behaving this way on Instagram.
The man has dominated the NBA, made millions and is a hero to basketball fans everywhere. Instead of being content with all the of that, "The King" is posting memes on social media. It's painfully awkward to watch this garbage.

10 of the most disruptive trends in wealth management
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Will the coming months bring a collective embrace of the holistic financial planning model? How will heightened scrutiny from regulators weigh on fees and the delivery of retirement advice? What about robos and artificial intelligence?
From regulatory changes to new technologies and approaches to client service, the Aite Group, a Boston-based financial services research firm, is looking ahead to a transformational year in wealth management. Aite Group analysts have identified a number of prevailing trends they see reshaping the marketplace — many of which are driven by emerging technologies, some by regulatory and compliance concerns, and still others in response to competitive pressures and shifting client expectations.
"Redefining the business model is a wide-ranging undertaking," Alois Pirker, a research director with Aite Group, said during a recent online presentation. "And I do think that 2018 is probably a pivotal year in this undertaking."
Pirker and his team expect regulators to crack down on unsuitable advice, while firms are expected to focus more on helping clients plan for retirement, and many will elect to move toward a holistic, goals-based financial planning model.
On the tech front, Aite analysts see major disruption coming from robo advice, account aggregation, advisor dashboards and artificial intelligence, with ripple effects that will be felt in how firms approach client segmentation and engagement.
Reading the tea leaves, Aite Group has compiled a forecast of 10 notable trends in the advisory trade that analysts are anticipating, changes that collectively will amount to a fundamental reorienting of the way many firms do business. Here's what they see in the year ahead.

Editors' Note
The term we've all been waiting for is finally here. Since we arrived at Dartmouth — or even before, during tours or information sessions — upperclassmen and alumni told us that sophomore summer would be the best 10 weeks of our college experience. Expectations are high as we text home to convince our high school friends that summer school is a blessing, not a curse. But if two years at Dartmouth have taught us anything, it's that 10 weeks fly by in an instant. How can we make each moment last, knowing that in two short months the Class of 2021 will disperse to foreign study destinations and internships around the country?
In the first Mirror of the summer, we ask The Dartmouth Staff about their hopes for the upcoming term and their favorite ways to cherish the lovely summer weather. We explore ways to enjoy the Upper Valley and the region beyond, from attending music festivals to picking fresh strawberries. And finally, we take a peek at a recent Hopkins Center film screening from the SHIFT festival, just one of many exciting events that are happening on campus this term.
So as you head down to the river for a Friday afternoon swim, grab an issue and check out what your classmates recommend. Hanover might seem small, but with an open mind (and a friend with a car) the possibilities are endless. Try something that terrifies you, explore a new farmer's market and get out in the sun every day. Make this the best term yet, because you deserve it.

Dea Tacita
In Roman mythology, Dea Tacita ("the silent goddess") was a goddess of the dead. Ovid's Fasti includes a passage describing a rite propitiating Dea Tacita in order to "seal up hostile mouths / and unfriendly tongue" at Feralia on 21 February.[1] In later times, she was equated with the naiad Larunda. In this guise, Dea Tacita was worshipped at a festival called Larentalia on 23 December.[citation needed] Goddesses Mutae Tacitae were invoked to destroy a hated person: in an inscription from Cambodunum in Raetia, someone asks "ut mutus sit Quartus" and "erret fugiens ut mus".[2] These silent goddesses are the personification of terror of obscurity.[citation needed] Plutarch, who describes Tacita as a Muse, states that Numa Pompilius credited Tacita for his oracular insight and taught the Romans to worship her.[3]

MediaCom Wins BRP, the Manufacturer of Ski-Doo Snowmobiles
Media business pegged around $50 million
MediaCom is the new North American planning and buying agency for BRP, the Quebec-based manufacturer of recreational products.
The WPP shop was awarded the business after a review which included OMD, Carat and Havas. Geometry, the incumbent, declined to participate in the search process.
Media spending in the North American region is about $50 million, according to sources.
Bombardier Recreational Products—BRP—went public in 2013 and its products are now sold in more than 100 countries. Among BRP's brands are Sea-Doo watercraft and Ski-Doo snowmobiles, one of Canada's most iconic consumer brands.
"Innovation and passion are at the heart of our business and both came through strongly in MediaCom's pitch and client experience," said Louis Levesque, BRP's vp, global marketing and consumer experience. "We look forward to working with MediaCom on the development of a fully-connected market strategy.

I know, I know. I said I wasn't blogging.
I am continuing to pray for Micah and his family — and I am continuing to invited others to do the same. Consider yourself invited. (For more info…if you're just seeing this…you can see posts titled Micah and Micah and Mom.)
Mostly I use Facebook which touches way more people than this blog. About once per day I do a cut, paste, edit (limited characters) from Carrie's status to my own.
In the past few days there have been some new photos that I thought some of my FB friends who are praying would enjoy seeing. Here they are. Since my blog auto-posts to Facebook, this simply works.
So, let's keep praying, friends! I've got the quote below on my Prayer Ops page (it's for people who pray for me and my ministry with Wycliffe…). Love Corrie Ten Boom.
"When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles. When he stops studying the Bible, the devil laughs. When he stops praying, the devil shouts for joy." –Corrie Ten Boom.

A Dental Imaging Technology company needed an automated Quote-to-Cash solution. The previous system was very labor intensive and forced them to keep sensitive credit card information in their Salesforce org to be manually charged by their Accounts Payable department. Product and Warranty orders/transactions needed to be processed separately, the former as a one-time charge and the latter as an annually recurring charge. Also, this was an international enterprise, so multiple payment gateways had to be used to process transactions based on Opportunity/Account data.
We began by streamlining Quote generation with our proprietary document-generation application RS Documents to dynamically generate Quotes using Opportunity fields and the Opportunity Product related list. We then coupled RS Docs with our proprietary eSignature solution RS Signature enabling sales people to send the automatically generated Quotes for eSignature to a Primary Contact on the Opportunity.
To accept payments from customers after they signed a Quote we used Form Assembly, a powerful third-party form-building application that integrates with Salesforce and Chargent. A simple workflow rule sent a confirmation email letting the customer know their signed Quote had been received in addition to providing them a link to a form through which they could pay for their product(s).
To segment Warranty and Product orders we implemented filtered Rollup Summary fields on the Opportunity object to calculate the total cost of non-warranty and warranty products respectively. When the customer submitted their credit card information the amount in these Rollup Summary fields were charged via two separate transactions; the product order was charged one-time and the warranty order was charged one-time with an annual recurrence configured to charge the same amount every year after the initial charge.
Because payments could've been processed in either Canada or the U.S. there was also a requirement to dynamically choose the appropriate payment gateway based on data in specific Opportunity fields. We simply implemented this Payment Gateway selection logic in a formula field in Salesforce, then queried the field result with Form Assembly using what's known as a Pre-Fill connector. This allowed us to choose which payment gateway would be used to process any particular transaction based on custom logic.
When a customer submits their card information the charge is automatically processed and documented via a Chargent Order and Transaction record under the Opportunity in question. The (unencrypted) card information needn't ever enter Salesforce, removing security risk in addition to the monotonous labor involved in charging credit cards manually.
To conclude this process, a simple workflow sets the Opportunity Stage to "Closed Won" once the Transaction record is successfully posted and related to the Opportunity.
