EUROVISION 2015 WINNER MÅNS ZELMERLÖW ANNOUNCES RIGA SHOW
Måns Zelmerlöw, Swedish winner of the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest, has announced that he will play a show in Riga as part of a 17 date European tour. His stop in Riga will see him perform at Palladium on the 13th of October. Måns represented his country singing 'Heroes' to an audience of millions and won the contest with 365 points, the third-highest score in the history of Eurovision Song Contest. Måns Zelmerlöw tickets are on-sale from 10am 9th July and are available from www.ticketservice.lv.
Back in May as Måns was announced winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, a lifetime goal was fulfilled for the publicly loved Swede.
'Heroes' is a culmination of a long period of reinvention for Måns - his solo career was launched with his first attempt to win Swedish song contest Melodifestivalen in 2007. Although he finished third, his debut single 'Cara Mia' topped the charts and was soon followed by his debut album 'Stand By For…'. After extensive touring and a break in which he joined the cast of Footloose, his second collection 'MZW' was released in 2009, with 'Hope & Glory' another near winner at Melodifestivalen. After concentrating for a little while on his work as a TV presenter he eventually headed to Spain with some friends to record his 2014 album 'Barcelona Sessions' which reflected his appreciation of the likes of Coldplay and Bryan Adams.
His Eurovision song of choice 'Heroes' is a part of his album "Perfectly Damaged" which was released in June – a mix of the organic musicianship of the 'Barcelona Sessions' with the electronic influence of 'Heroes' and a touch of the personality that helped him become so successful in the first place.
Måns comments; "I've always been a fan of both Melodifestivalen and Eurovision, and it was an absolute dream come true to be announced winner! I'm feeling so very grateful and excited about touring this fall, it's going to be amazing meeting all the heroes across Europe."

Ted sits in the traffic which moves at a crawl.
He thinks of the boss man sitting just down the hall.
Then lip starts to quiver – Oh not this again!
Why do I do this when I know how it ends?
Ted's phone starts to ring; it's the boss man, its Ned.
The stress starts to flow and Ted starts to see red.
"Why do I do this?" you hear Ted think.
Eyes gaze into space and Ted thinks it's a dream.
"Oh to do what I like!" and Ted's face starts to beam.
Ted thoughts turn to islands, of freedom, of choices.
He dreams of the thought of no bosses voices.
"I will do this" he says; I will do my own thing!
The decision is made I will feel like a king!
Good bye to you traffic, Good bye to you Ned!
Then Ted start's to reflect and his face turns to gloom.
"What if markets start slowing and the world starts to end?
What if Ned gets upset, what if Fred I offend?
What if someone does better and they steal my idea?
So the gloom face returns and Ted's lip starts to quiver.
It's Ned on the phone cause Ted's late to deliver.
And it all starts again when the green light turns red.

P.G. Wodehouse, Great American Humorist?
Should P.G. Wodehouse, creator of the ditzy Wooster and inimitable Jeeves, be considered an American humorist as well as a master of British farce?
via The Overlook Press
Should P.G. Wodehouse be considered an American humorist as well as a master of British farce? Based on his voluminous fiction, Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse, KBE (1881-1975), known as "Plum" to his friends, certainly comes across as the quintessential Englishman. And it was precisely his farcical take on England that gave him such a fanatical readership in the U.S., a country that continues to eat up his felicitously written, masterfully-plotted, humorous tales of idiotic toffs, sagacious butlers, eccentric Earls, assorted bounders, ditzy golfers, ferocious aunts, sordid blisters, and a prized pig known as the Empress of Blandings, among many other characters, including Old Boys with Old School nicknames like Stinker, Pongo, Beefy, Mugsy, Bimbo, and Barmy.
But, as Deepika Karle reminds us, Wodehouse spent much of his adult life in the U.S. As a pre-World War II transatlantic creative, he worked in Hollywood and on Broadway. And after World War II—things had gotten pretty hot for him in Britain because of the radio broadcasts he made for the Nazis as a captive in 1941—he lived in the U.S. until his death. He became an American citizen in 1955.
The key to P.G. Wodehouse's continuing appeal, says one scholar, is that he made of America what he made of England.
Wodehouse's fiction is peppered with references to America and American slang, like "zippiness, hotsy-totsy, ritzy, dude, lame-brain, syncopated, zing, and hooched." Several of his works take place in New York or Los Angeles, with various nods to the wide-open spaces in between. According to Karle, he was fascinated by "the enterprise and the wealth, the power and the glory of the New World, the relative paucity of history and a sense of the past, and the bustling cities inhabited by millionaires and smooth-talking gangsters." He "unabashedly capitalizes on the reputation America had for being somewhat prone to violence and crime" and makes most of his American characters millionaires, "the creatures of most value to the impecunious English gentry."
Key to P.G. Wodehouse's continuing appeal, says Karle, is that he made of America what he made of England: "too rarefied a world to admit creatures too real." Edward L. Galligan seconds this, nailing down the formula Wodehouse worked from the Teens to the Sixties: "That form is essentially the American musical comedy of the first quarter of [the 20th] century adapted for fiction. It must be light—or, to use the word favored by reviewers, frothy—devoid of any content that anyone of a mental age beyond eight might be tempted to label serious. "
"Quite possibly" Galligan concludes, "Wodehouse saved the world from something monstrous when he devoted his own high intelligence to the making of "frothy" farces." Or, put another way, in the master's own words:
"There are moments, Jeeves, when one asks oneself, 'Do trousers matter?'"
"The mood will pass, sir."

While every child grows at their own pace, doctors use milestones to measure developmental progress. The first years of a child's life will be marked with growth in areas such as motor, verbal, and cognitive skills. Parents are intimately familiar with their children. As such, they are often the first to detect when something is off in terms of developmental progress. If you suspect that your child may be experiencing some developmental delays, start the conversation with your pediatrician.
The questions you ask the pediatrician should center on language, motor, and social skills. Most children start moving, speaking, and responding to others within the first year of their lives. If they do not walk or speak at least six words their 18th month, it may be cause for concern.
How are my child's language skills developing? Do they meet the normal milestones?
Is there anything I should worry about regarding my child's speech?
How are their gross and fine motor skills? Would therapy or rehabilitation help?
Should I be concerned if my child does not socialize with other people?
If your pediatrician does diagnose your child with delays in motor, language, or cognitive skills, we're here to help. We offer pediatric therapy and rehabilitation services that can help your child with physical, occupational, and speech needs – all from the comfort of their own home. Call today to learn more about our Texas Pediatric in home care.


The Battle of Los Angeles is a yearly tournament put on by, arguably, the biggest independent wrestling promotion in America, Pro Wrestling Guerilla. The tournament matches were set, the marquee special attraction matches were booked and there was only one thing left; for all of us to die in the heat. The WWE couldn't run their average, at best, house shows in venues without proper air conditioning and seating for fans that paid top dollar to be there but PWG can. The business model PWG follows rubs people the wrong way but this is America and until fans refuse to pay rising prices American Legion Hall 308 will continue to sell out each and every time.
Every match that was booked for night two could headline any indy show across the world, for the fans in Reseda, California it was just another dream match night.
Dijak is on his way to NXT, Lee is a staple of PWG and GWF and these two did not disappoint. These two put on one hell of an opening match where Dijak was the winner and would move on to the quarterfinals. For me, this was the start of a 110 degree four hour ride.
These two guys may not be household names yet but, especially, Joey it's just a matter of time until he's your friend's favorite wrestler. Joey and Lio Rush were big news after their encounter at CZW's show a few weeks back. On Saturday night Joey wanted to out do that performance and they sure as hell did. I rated this match five stars simply because in the 20 minutes these two battled they told stories, switched face and heel roles and Janela took two of the nastiest bumps I've ever seen and lived to tell the tale outside the Hall to me shortly after their match.
Two of the top United Kingdom wrestlers on the planet graced the Reseda crowd with a match that I personally expected more from. The two men had a great match overall just a few miss timed spots and a weird count finish left me feeling short changed from two guys that are on the WWE radar. Spoilers: From what I've read from night three Banks made up for it with his other match.
A tag team match from four guys that headline venues from California to Japan was the match before intermission. Sabre Jr the heel that Reseda loves to boo and Scrull interrupted Sydal's and Ricochet's entrance. This is where my experience kind of took a down hill spill. After spending time in line for water, again it had to be at least 110 degrees in the venue, I had lost my comfy standing spot and was left to stand behind a guy who was at least 6'3 the rest of the night. The first match with several, great near falls was on track for a four star rating until all four guys hit similar spots at shows I've been to before. Usually something like that doesn't bother me, especially since I watch the WWE weekly but something just rubbed me the wrong way, probably the heat, but I was just taken out of the moment after Sabre Jr used his head turn submission several times.
The first post intermission match featured the highly over rated Callahan and Jeff Cobb, who outside of his strength, doesn't offer much inside a squared circle. Although this match could headline the indy show in your local town it feel short of a PWG style match and I just couldn't wait for it to end.
By this time in the night Ronda Rousey's presence was known in the hall but if you didn't know she was there just look toward the stage where the UFC star was chanting 'Bro' with everyone else. Elgin is a guy to me that if you put him in the ring with the right guy you can get a four star match and this was just it. Riddle is a guy that will be WWE bound before we know it so enjoy the bootless bro for as long as you can because before you know it a $25 'Bro' shirt will be all the rage at Full Sail.
If the WWE wants to continue to restock their big guy roster then these two are the golden tickets. Keith Lee is becoming a top star in the indy scene and it's just a matter of time until the star of Vienna is on the radar of the E. Spoilers: William Regal was said to be outside talking with Walter prior to his match. Both of these men are larger than life and when the two killed and slammed each other all over the ring I knew this was something special. The crowd chanted 'big match wrestling' during their match and the hype lived up to just that; big match wrestling.
The main event of the evening saw Kenny Omega return to PWG for the first time since 2014. We all stood in aw as Penta and Kenny stood nose to nose in the ring then beat the hell out of each other. This match had it all, comedy, crazy spots and hard hitting action. The real MVP of the night may have been Fenix. If the WWE wants another Rey Mysterio this guy is as close as they are going to get.
If you were ever thinking of coming to Reseda, please do. If not, buy the BOLA dvd, it will not disappoint.
Until next time, leave a comment, tell a friend, listen to the latest HTC Wrestling Podcast here or on itunes, follow me on Twitter @camdougharty and let's talk wrasslin!

How big is your generated social value-added? New challenges for transformational leaders...
"Elephants can remember, but we are human beings and mercifully human beings can forget." ― Agatha Christie
By Mindaugas Lauzikas
How social are our social entrepreneurs? No time for empty promises…
Social value-added gains increasing attention of modern organizations and scholars: it manifests in a great variety of topics and areas, such as social entrepreneurship, CSR, shared value economy, positive externalities and collaboration, social innovation, sustainable development, management of change, and creative leadership (French, 2017).
In 2018, Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Consortium paid a special attention to entrepreneurship spirit and social impacts of entrepreneurship, which were measured via a set of indicators, such as societal values, individual attributes and entrepreneurial activity, related to jobs creation and innovation. Moreover, social impacts are described as sustainable and inclusive growth and poverty reduction for national wealth. Across 50 analysed economies, 44% entrepreneurs expect to create no jobs in the next five years, while only one fifth of the respondents expect to create six or more jobs. Notwithstanding such modest anticipated social impacts, the transition from non-job creating toward 1-5 jobs generation is witnessed in efficiency-driven economies (from sole entrepreneurship toward small employer).
The main constrains to employ more people, particularly in economically less advanced countries, are related to rigid labour regulations, poor supply of skilled labour, and limited access to entrepreneurial finance. In addition to these barriers, digital technology enables entrepreneurs to operate on their own. The United States are among the leading countries in job creation (with 38.6% of entrepreneurs expecting to generate more than six jobs), followed by Asia and Oceania (21.0%), and Europe (18.5%), while Latin America and the Caribbean possess 18.0% of socially oriented entrepreneurs, and Africa has 17.0% of entrepreneurs who are willing to create social impacts via job creation.
Given emerging role of new technologies (artificial intelligence, Social Medias, Digital Marketing, IT and robots), human capital remains as a key driver for innovation and change, while creative leadership is emphasized in many scientific studies: Uusi-Kakkuri (2017) focuses on transformational leadership as a way to lead creative individuals and innovators; Jiang et al. (2017) and Aunjum et al. (2017) emphasize employees' motivation; Yonazi et al. (2012) relate to society an stakeholders' transformation via modern technologies; and Gálvez-Rodríguez et al. (2016) accentuate the role of engaging citizens. Society engagement appears critical in policy development. As for example, Science and Technology Committee, authorized by House of Commons of the UK (2017), encourages society engagement in science-related policies.
At a county level, policy makers, governmental programmers or associations of various stakeholders encourage projects which might create social value-added in both the short and long run; stock exchanges introduce guidelines how to report social value-added indicators, while international organizations set rules and requirements for innovation projects and activities. Moreover, globalization trends make social contributions of compulsory nature, rather than a marketing tactics to improve social image.
The changing corporate environment leads organizations to new challenges, related to efficient use of technology, data management, society engagement, collaboration and networking, or social innovation. However, each economy has its own particular context, which is related to cultural and social aspects, such as the fear of failure, social trust, ethical and moral norms, and etc. (Singh et al., 2015). As it was stated by Cartigny and Lord (2017), Social Capital is tightly related to social networks and trust and it can be interpreted at individual and community levels; thus, social value-added could be translated into factors, such as employment creation, collaboration or education.
What characteristics should our transformational leaders possess?
Based on the positive experience of Croatian Public Administration Organizations (Vozab, 2012), the on-going transformation of a country calls for efficient communication to citizens and other stakeholders, while paying attention to the quality and accuracy of information, demonstration of competences, and consistency. At first, it might be uncomfortable to operate hand in hand with citizens; however, the era of rigid linear communication model has come to its end (Paynton et al, 2016), technologies bring higher visibility which creates stronger ties with stakeholders.
In the context of transformational leadership, the leaders of changes are driven by efforts to create community spirit (Husain, 2013), communication improvement strategies (Shanga et al., 2017), team building and training schemes (Luthra and Dahiya, 2015), team performance (McEwan et al., 2017), and employees' motivation from a more generic perspective.
Jain and Yadav (2017) state, that organizations are centered on digital media devices and key strategic partnerships. However, the invasion of technology in organizational development might be expensive in terms of human resource management, R&D, application of new technologies, as well as big data management. Therefore, transformational leaders face the necessity to develop competences which help allocate resources, communicate via technologies, manage bid data sets, monitor and motivate.
Creative leaders position themselves closer to citizens, thanks to new technologies, but this effect triggers the need to be innovative and create concrete social value-added (Carini et al., 2017), while solving the challenges on case by case basis and addressing the specificity of social groups and markets (Zaimova et al., 2012).
Notwithstanding insufficient creativity and reward systems in transiting economies, organizations feel the pressure from other stakeholders to efficiently collaborate while using modern technologies, manage risks (making fast and effective decisions which are accompanied by execution and monitoring) (Ferguson et al., 2016). Flexibility, clear organizational philosophy, social trust and willingness to excel at each development stage are among the main criteria of successful partnership, which might lead to multiple synergy effects and sustainable development. It is difficult to meet consumer needs and generate larger social value-added without collaboration tactics; therefore, social wealth should be examined in the context of networks as well as resource and knowledge sharing. All in all, the era of empty promises has come to its end – it is time of real actions, concrete social impacts and key strategic partnerships, which might be facilitated by new technologies and business intelligence.

1 Dupont Cir., NW
Opened September 1970. Initially only open to 8:30 PM with no entertainment. Artists generally appeared for six-night (Monday to Saturday) weekly engagements (closed Sunday). A dinner theater run by Lew Resseguie was added in late April 1971 in the downstairs cafeteria area. Black Circus was still in existence as a restaurant at least into 1974, though entertainment had been discontinued (the last ads in local newspapers appeared in spring 1972). By October 1972 it was featuring an unnamed "seven-piece all-girl band Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights" that played "rock, bossa nova, and straight pop."
Black Circus was one of many establishments owned by Ulysses 'Blackie' Auger. At its opening, the manager was Demetrios Jaragiorgis. Auger was assisted at times by Pete Lambros (though many of the possible upcoming bookings that Lambros mentioned never appeared, including Mabel Mercer, Toots Thielemans, Carolyn Hester, Jimmy Witherspoon, and Joe Mooney). When the restaurant opened, capacity was given as 280, though as 125 when the first act, the Charlie Byrd Trio, started in December 1970.

Dancewave is a dance education organization based in Brooklyn, New York City, with approximately 4000 youth and adult dancers. Founded in 1995 by Diane Jacobowitz, it offers both merit-based and need-based scholarship funding.

History

In 1995, Dancewave's founder Diane Jacobowitz, began hosting the Kids Cafe Festival. The festival produced works by and for children. As the Kids Cafe Festival grew in popularity, a youth dance company was established in 2001.

The Dancewave Center
In September 2017, Dancewave broke ground on its new location at 182 Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn. The 3,600-square-foot facility would be nearly triple the size of its old location at 45 Fourth Avenue. The $5.2 million project has received $4.8 million from New York City Council, the Mayor's Office through the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), and the Brooklyn Borough President's Office. The Studio Joseph's architectural design converts the current industrial space into a LEED-certified arts facility, with two dance studios that open to a performance space with the capacity for 100 occupants. The facility opened in June 2019.

Dancewave School
Dancewave offers year-round dance programming for youth and adults in a wide range of techniques and genres including Creative Movement, Ballet, Modern, Hip Hop, Barre Vida, Broadway Stars, Contemporary Jazz, and Zumba.

Dancewave Company Program
The pre-professional Dancewave Company provides opportunities for young dancers, ages 7–18, to work with internationally acclaimed artists such as Paul Taylor, Twyla Tharp, Bill T. Jones, Garth Fagan, Mark Morris, Lar Lubovitch, and more. The Dancewave Company has been featured on PBS and the Jimmy Fallon Show and has numerous performance accolades including the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival, and the 2010 Aberdeen International Youth Festival in Scotland.

In 2012 Dancewave launched Dancing Through College and Beyond, a free career and college readiness event for high school students offering classes, panels, auditions and scholarships.

please how you get them???????????????????????
wow, thats awesome. is that official merchandise or did you make it?
believe it or not: i found it on ebay. the seller was a shop (http://www.shirtz.de) and so i think its no official one. but it rocks anyway. and to my luck its fitting very well (in size). and (to finally give you the last smash): i "only" paid 12,50 oyz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im afraid it was the only one which was sold by that online-shop, so chances are low that i may re-order one.
im afraid most of you hate me or at least want to lynch me now because i have such a shirt for such a low price. no doubt - this was probably my best online shopping activity!
If my digital camera hadn't broken I'd post some pics.
so i think its no official one.
My guess would be that it is not official.
The front doesn't match the back.
Well, yes in style and colour but that certainly is not a FEISAR pilot.
Cool shirt by the way!
FEISAR is ALWAYS in fashion.
Wouldn't mind getting some FEISAR fashion myself.
Didn't anyone read the manual for WipEout 2097??? THERE WAS A DOUBLE SPREAD ORDER SHEET FOR T-SHIRTS AND SWEATSHIRTS!!! i think that might be an official one.
okay peeps, here's the bottom line.
That IS an offical shirt. They were ONLY sold by a shop called "Million Dollar Merchandise"
I have been unable to track this place down for a long time, so I will give you all the details I have for them.
I'll make a scan of the page in the manual with all the stuff on... they made two male style shirts (one belongs to JabberJaw, the other now belongs to AJ), two female style shirts, a record bag, a girls backpack, and a knitted hat.
The CD's are still listed with places like Virgin and HMV, bot they are totally unavailable.
It must have been a European thing.
So this is your 400$ shirt. I have one as well that thruster sent me, except mine is black.
dude, I didnt quite send it to you, you eaned it!

Olletas es un barrio que pertenece al distrito Centro de Málaga, España. Está situado entre el Cementerio de San Miguel y el Seminario, limitando al sur con los barrios de Cristo de la Epidemia, El Ejido y Capuchinos, y al norte con los de Pinares de Olletas y Los Antonios.

El barrio de Olletas (también denominado Fuente Olletas por la fuente ubicada en su principal plaza) fue desde el siglo XVIII hasta 1973 la salida de Málaga al interior de la península a través del Camino del Colmenar.

Este barrio ha sido modificado recientemente, aproximadamente hace diez años con nuevas urbanizaciones que conectan el mismo con El Limonar y que dan acceso a nuevos caminos y comunicaciones entre otros distritos de Málaga.

Lugares de interés

Capilla de las Adoratrices
Edificada entre 1906 y 1908 es de estilo neogótico y autor desconocido. Está situada en el lado oeste de la calle del Cristo de la Epidemia y comprende una sola nave. La fachada principal presenta una portada decorada con un arco ojival al que se superpone una triple alquería con arcos del mismo tipo, sobre la que se encuentran dos óculos y una espadaña con campana.

Oficinas de Emasa
Datan del primer tercio del siglo XX y se desconoce su autor. Son de estilo regionalista y están compuestas por dos volúmenes adosados, de los cuales el más pequeño presenta techado a dos aguas, vanos apaisados de ladrillo visto y fachada de remate escalonado. El volumen mayor es de dos plantas rematadas por una azotea-mirador y contiene azulejos polícromos.

Fuente de Olletas
Construida en 1788, de ella brotaba agua del Acueducto de San Telmo por un caño y, desde principios del siglo XX brotaba agua de Torremolinos por el otro caño. Las fotografías originales muestran que en la fuente se inscribía el lema "No maltrates a tus animales dado que ellos hacen fácil tu trabajo y te ayudan a ganar el pan". Su diseño está atribuido a Martín de Aldehuela.

The initial shock of the devastating damage caused by an EF4 tornado this past spring in Arkansas has passed. However, there is still plenty of recovery work ahead as demonstrated by Entergy Arkansas's deployment of over 400 contractors to restore transmission lines, distribution and substations.
Air2, Auger Services and Power Line Services (all PLH Group companies) coordinated services for their customer, Entergy, to repair extensive transmission line damage to the Mayflower township.
The companies worked together to clear the access roads, transport poles to the job site, drill new support foundations, wreck out and replace damaged transmission line structures. Given the extensive damage caused by the tornado, work will continue until this fall.
For over an hour on April 27, winds at 166-200 mph tore a half mile wide path of destruction 41 miles through Arkansas. Businesses, schools and homes were leveled. Sixteen people were killed, making this the deadliest tornado in Arkansas since 1968.


Celebrate Earth Day by picking up litter at your favorite Coalition reserve. We will spend two hours cleaning trash that has accumulated during the winter. We are partnering with Operation Clean Sweep to provide gloves and tools to those who pre-register by April 20. If you do not pre-register, you are still welcome to come, but please bring your own gloves and tools. T-shirts and Buzzards Bay Coalition stickers will be provided to volunteers (while supplies last).
Three team captains are needed to lead volunteers at each of the reserves listed above. A team captain is someone who will greet and organize the volunteers and be responsible for getting the appropriate paperwork signed. Training will be provided before the event.

Home Jewelry Information Center About Gemstones Opal
All of Nature's splendour seems to be reflected in the manifold opulence of fine Opals: fire and lightnings, all the colours of the rainbow and the soft shine of far seas. Australia is the classical country of origin. Almost ninety-five per cent of all fine opals come from the dry and remote outback deserts.
Numerous legends and tales surround this colourful gemstone, which can be traced back in its origins to a time long before our memory, to the ancient dream time of the Australian aborigines. It is reported in their legends that the creator came down to Earth on a rainbow, in order to bring the message of peace to all the humans. And at the very spot, where his foot touched the ground, the stones became alive and started sparkling in all the colours of the rainbow. That was the birth of the Opals.
The group of fine Opals includes quite a number of wonderful gemstones, which share one characteristic: they shine and sparkle in a continually changing play of colours full of fantasy, which experts describe as "opalising". Depending on the kind, place of occurrence, and colour of the main body, we differentiate Dark or Black Opal, White or Light Opal, Milk or Crystal Opal, Boulder Opal, Opal Matrix, Yowah Nuts from Queensland – the so-called "picture stones", and also Mexican and Fire Opal. Opal variations are practically unlimited. They all show in their own special way that unique play of colours – except for Fire Opal, which due to its transparency, however, is nevertheless also considered a Fine Opal specimen. If Opals are lacking the typical play of colours, they are simply named "Common Opal".
Upala, opallios or Opalus – fascination created by tiny spheres
The name Opal was probably derived from Sanskrit "upala", meaning "valuable stone". This was probably the root for the Greek term "opallios", which translates as "colour change". In the days of Roman antiquity there existed a so-called "opalus", or a "stone from several elements". So the ancient Romans may already have had an inkling why the Opals show such a striking play of colours. But we will come to this later …
Pliny, the famous Roman author, called Opal a gemstone which combines the best possible characteristics of the most beautiful of gemstones: the fine sparkle of Almandine, the shining purple of Amethyst, the golden yellow of Topaz, and the deep blue of Sapphire, "so that all colours shine and sparkle together in a beautiful combination".
Up to the first half of the 19th century, Opals were relatively rare. But then their career boomed suddenly and made them one of the most popular gemstones, and the start of this development brought them to the gemstone cutters of the gemstone centre of Idar-Oberstein. In the era of Art Deco the Opals experienced their flourishing, with contemporary gemstone artists preferring them to all other stones because of their subdued charm, which in turn was excellently suited to be combined with enamel, another very popular material of those days.
Opal's colour play emanates a very special attraction and fascination. But what causes this phenomenon? This question was impossible to answer for a very long time. Only when in the 1960s a team of Australian scientists analysed Opals with an electron microscope, it was discovered that small spheres from silica gel caused interference and refraction manifestations, which are responsible for the fantastic play of colours. The spheres, which are arranged in more or less compact structures, succeed in dissecting the light on its passage through the gemstone and turning it into all the colours of the rainbow, always new and always different.
Australia, classical Opal country
Australia is the classical Opal country and today is the worldwide most important supplier of Fine Opals. Almost 95 per cent of all Opals come from Australian mines. The remaining five per cent are mined in Mexico, and in Brazil's north, also in the US states of Idaho and Nevada, but recently the stones have also been found in Ethiopia and in the West African country of Mali.
The history of Australian Opal began actually millions of years ago, when parts of Australia were covered by a vast inland sea, and stone sediment was deposited along its shoreline. When the water masses flooded back, they flushed water containing silica into the resulting cavities and niches in the sedimentary rocks, and also the remains of plants and animals were deposited there. Slowly the silica stone transformed into Opal, for basically Opals are simply a combination of silica and water. Or, to be more precise: Opals are a gel from silica, with varying percentages of water.
In 1849 the first Opal blocks were accidentally found on an Australian cattle station called Tarravilla . the first Opal prospectors started in 1890 at White Cliff mining the Opal rocks. And even today the eyes of Opal lovers light up when somebody mentions places like White Cliffs, Lightning Ridge, Andamooka or Coober Peddy: for these are the legendary sites of the Australian Opal fields. The most famous one is probably Lightning Ridge, the place where mainly the coveted Black Opal is found. Andamooka, where Crystal Opal and Light Opal are brought to the light of day, cam boast to be the place where the probably largest Opal was found, with a weight of 6 ,843 kilograms, the "Andamooka Desert Flame". Coober Peddy, by the way, is a word from Aborigine language meaning "white man in a hole". This clearly describes how Opal was in fact mined: many Opal prospectors made their home in deep holes or caves in the ground, to protect themselves from the burning heat of daytime and from the icy winds of night time. Usually they worked only with tolls such as pick and shovel. Buckets full of soil, hopefully containing Opal rocks, were pulled up out of the depths of 5 to 40 m deep shafts by hand, for this is the depth of the Opal containing crevices and cavities, which are also mined nowadays.
Being an Opal prospector is still not an easy job, although today of course there are some technical means available, such as trucks or conveyor belts. And still the hope to make the find of a lifetime which will let you live happily ever after attracts many men and women to come to the hot and dusty Australian outback.
About cabochons, doublets and triplets
In order to best bring out the play of colour in a Fine Opal, the stones are cut and polished to round or oval cabochons, or any other softly domed shape , depending on the raw material. Only the best qualities of Fire Opal, however, are suited to faceting. The Opal cutter will first of all carefully remove any impurities using a diamond cutting wheel, before working out the rough basic shape. The comes the fine cutting, the finishing with sandpaper and then the final polishing with a wet leather wheel.
Opal is often found as flat lenses, or thin layers, bigger pieces are rather rare. If you leave a thin but supporting layer of the harder mother rock, you will receive a pre-stage of the Opal-doublets which are frequently used today for mass produced jewellery. These are gemstone combinations consisting of a surface from millimetre-thin Opal plates, which have been mounted on Onyx, Obsidian, artificial black glass, or Potch-Opal. Triplets have been developed from this design, here the Opal layer receives an additional cover from Rock Crystal, Plastic, Hard Glass or Lead Glass for protection.
Opal love to be worn on the skin
Due to the differing percentage of water, Opals may easily become brittle. They always contain water – usually between 2 and 6 per cent, but sometimes even more. Thus if stored too dry or exposed to heat over a longer period of time, Opals will show fissures and the play of colour will become paler. Therefore, Opal jewellery should be worn as often as possible, for then the gemstone will receive the needed humidity from the air and from the skin of its wearer.
Opals are not very hard: they only achieve 5.5 to 6 on the Mohs' scale. Therefore they appreciate a protective setting. In earlier days Opal's sensitive surface was often oiled, but today also sealing them with colourless artificial resin has become quite popular.
From Harlequin to Peacock: Opal experts lingo
When Opal experts talk about "harlequin", "church windows" or "needle fire", do not be surprised. They are probably discussing Opals. The play of colour in this stone is described with many imaginative terms for various structures and phenomena, like, for example, "flame opal", "lightning and peacock opal", or the above named "harlequin" and "church window".
Opal's value is not only determined by the body colour, transparency and factors based on place of occurrence. (Body colour refers to the basic colour of the gemstone, which can be black, dark or light and coloured). It is also important if the stone is transparent, translucent or opaque. And the opalizing effect may also influence the transparency.
Black Opal or Opal with a dark grey body shows the most brilliant play of colours imaginable. Crystal opal, which comes immediately after Black Opal in the hit list, should be more transparent with a deep play of colours. White or milky Opals show more diffuse colours and are the least expensive Opals. The occurrence-specific characteristics include, for instance, denominations such as "Black Opal from Lightning Ridge" (we are talking absolute top luxury here) or "Mexican Fire Opal".
The most important criterion for determining the price of an Opal, however, is the play of colour, the colours as such and their pattern. If the colour red appears when looking through the stone, all the other colours will appear also. For evaluating Opals the thickness of the Opal layer is considered, the beauty of the patterning, the cut, weight and finish. Finally the total impression will be decisive, and of course offer and demand will determine ho much you will have to pay for "your" Opal. If you are interested in a really valuable specimen, get an Opal expert to advise you, because it takes a real expert to know about the many criteria which determine the price.
Opals and emotions
For ages people have been believing in the healing power of Opal. It is reported to be able to solve depressions and to help its wearer find the true and real love. Opals are supposed to further enhance the positive characteristics for people born under the zodiac sign of Cancer. Black Opal is recommended to those born under Scorpio, and Boulder Opal is the lucky stone for Aries.
The fantastic colour play of Opal reflects changing emotions and moods of people. Fire and water, the sparkling images of Boulder Opal, the vivid light flashes of Black Opal or the soft shine of Milk Opal – striking contrasts characterise the colourful world of this fascinating gemstone. Maybe this is the reason why it depends on our daily mood which Opal we prefer. Opals are like human emotions: you always experience them different and anew.


Character » Fever Pitch appears in 162 issues.
Mutant who changes alliances all the time, to who ever it suits him. Is completely composed of organic fire.
Nothing is known about the history of the mutant known as Fever Pitch, not even his real name. It seems that Fever Pitch's body was somehow incinerated the moment his powers activated.
Fever Pitch was created by Jay Faerber and Terry Dodson and first appeared in Generation X issue 50 (1999).
When Fever Pitch first appeared he was alongside the Gene Nation led by the Dark Beast. He was ordered to capture the members of Generation X and successfully captured Chamber and Skin. Fever Pitch revealed a little about his past, namely when his powers first manifested, and he kept comparing himself to Chamber, much to his chagrin. Similar to Chamber he blew off his face when his powers first manifested, and over the years he ran out of skin to burn, leaving only a flaming skeleton. Later X-Man, Emma Frost, and the new student at the the school, Gaia, battled the collected Gene Nation in order to save their teammates and in the ensuing battle X-Man siphoned Fever Pitch's powers, seemingly killing him.
He later resurfaced in Berlin, where he was fighting Abyss so that he could capture him and sell him to researchers who wanted to dissect him. The fight was interrupted by Avalanche, Blob, and Surge who were working for the X-Corps, and they captured the two men. Once inside of Banshee's facility, Fever Pitch was mind-controlled by the imprisoned Martinique Jason into serving the X-Corps. When it was revealed that Mystique infiltrated the facility as Surge, Fever Pitch joined her group of rebels in a rampage through Paris to show the populace of mutants. Fever Pitch was about to burn down a landmark but was stopped by the arrival of of the X-Men, especially Iceman.
Fever Pitch kept his powers after M-Day and was a severe national security issue for the government. He lived in the tent city located on the grounds of the Xavier Institute. He was assigned to share a tent with Toad, but he preferred the company of Erg, Sack, and Mammomax. He was one of the mutants who had a tracking chip implanted in their heads, but when the chips' true purpose was revealed, Mr. M took the chip out. During the revolt of the 198, Fever Pitch along with Erg were under the control of Johnny Dee. Under his control, Fever Pitch and Erg launched an attack on the X-Men. He attacked Ice Man and was later attacked by Lockheed. During Apocalypse's attack on the institute he was one of the mutants to side with him rather than be against him. He was one of many mutants to revolt against the O.N.E squad when Domino an Shatterstar tried to capture the relocated mutants at the institute.
Fever Pitch died when the Leper Queen's Sapien League kidnapped him, and then injected him with a mutated strand of the Legacy Virus. He was released into a crowd of Friends of Humanity supporters at a rally in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. His powers flared for one last time, and then he died as he sent out a huge fiery blast, killing all the humans surrounding him.
Fever Pitch's body is composed completely of organic flame. He's also capable of fire bursts and flight.
Fever Pitch appears in the episode Greeting From Genosha, here Fever Pitch is reaking havok in Genosha, and confronts Mercury, Mellenchamp and Seamus in a fight. With the three of them defeated by Fever Pitch, Wanda used her powers to create a hose that would turn Fever Pitch's flame off, however, Fever Pitch was able to put himself back on fire. Nightcrawler then tried his best to fight him by using Wanda's scarf to protect his hands from Fever Pitch's heat and punching him over and over again while teleporting. After Fever Pitch was defeated, he was imprisoned in Genosha's cells along with Sauron, Wolfcub and the other mutants who have messed with the Genoshan peacemakers.

Road Rage is loss of emotional control while driving. Frustration and anger are key components in the creation of road rage. Being in control of the vehicle and one's self while driving seems a self-evident goal to most drivers, however external factors can affect a driver's control over their emotional state and result in loss of emotional control to a greater or lesser degree.
Aggressive driving can be described as "Driving under the influence of impaired emotions resulting in behavior that imposes risk on others". Aggressive driving behavior is a driver's attempt to respond to some type of situation or perceived problem using their available strategies. Unfortunately, these strategies are frequently ineffective or counter productive in resolving the issue and may ultimately result in the creation of greater problems for the driver and other road users.
Aggressive driving demonstrates hostility, lack of awareness, resistance to change, lack of emotional maturity, and cynicism towards authority. There are 2 types of aggressive drivers: Chronic and situational.
Chronic aggressive drivers have adopted a driving style, which is out of step with normal traffic flow and accepted norms of courteous driving behavior. They argue that their driving style is not aggressive at all, in fact it is the safest possible driving or they admit that it is aggressive and justify it based on various personal motives.
Situational aggressive drivers are responding to external pressures imposed on them as a result of schedules, traffic flows, the behavior of other drivers, environmental or other factors. Their otherwise safe responsible driving becomes aggressive under certain circumstances. These drivers may admit to the inappropriate nature of there behavior after the fact or alternatively justify it in a similar way to the chronic aggressive driver.
As a driver's emotional state changes, their risk perception and tolerance also changes. Drivers with road rage tend to have an inappropriately high level of risk tolerance and therefore pose a risk to themselves as well as others on the road.
A stressed out driver may react with road rage, to frustration in traffic or what he perceives as hostile attitudes of other drivers. A study which looked at environmental factors that influence aggression showed that the following can cause rage in those with low frustration tolerance:
Noise: While not provoking aggression, noise has been shown to influence the intensity of a pre-existing case of aggression. Thus a person prone to road rage, who is under stress or in an irritable mood, may be "set off" by someone honking behind him.
Temperature: there was a direct relationship between temperature and driver aggression. The hotter it was the more aggressive the subjects became.
Overcrowding: This is a subjective environmental factor. In experiments where all the subjects agreed to the fact that conditions were overcrowded, and especially in the case of traffic congestion, aggression may reach detrimental levels. Noise and heat may exert the most influence on motorists in a traffic congestion situation.
Territoriality: individuals often view their vehicles as an extension of their home. At home, one sets standards for oneself that may be fine in the privacy of one's home but would not be acceptable in public. The car seems to straddle the boundary between private space and public domain.
All of us have indulged in some form of aggressive driving at some or the other, subject to our moods. This includes
Competitive driving, racing or showing off
Prolonged, persistent, deliberate bad driving
Wanton and furious driving
Driving with disregard for road safety taking account of road weather and traffic conditions
Deliberate acts of selfishness, impatience or aggressiveness causing inconvenience including:
o Cutting off, cutting in and slowing down.
o Changing lanes in a reckless manner or, weaving through traffic.
o Turning without signaling
o Cruising in the passing lane and not moving over
o Taking too long to turn or to get moving
o Yelling, insulting or gesturing at other drivers.
o Rushing or being impatient all the time.
o Tailgating and following too close
o Running a red light or speeding up to a yellow light.
The trigger for the aggressive driver is usually traffic congestion coupled with a schedule that is almost impossible to meet. As a result, the aggressive driver generally commits multiple violations in an attempt to make up time. For example, an aggressive driver who resorts to using a roadway shoulder to pass may startle other drivers and cause them to take an evasive action that results in more risk or even a crash. Meanwhile, the offending aggressive driver continues on his or her way, perhaps oblivious of what he or she has caused. Rush hour crashes, which are frequently caused by aggressive drivers, are a major contributor to congestion and 10 percent of these rush hour crashes contribute to a second crash.
Road rage, on the other hand, is a criminal offense. This occurs when a traffic incident escalates into a far more serious situation. Drivers with road rage:
regularly experience hostile emotions and violent fantasies
are unaware of their errors and style of driving
resist change and lack the skills to change or to improve
are unable to deal with their own emotions in traffic and lack the skills for self-control in traffic situations
live in a conflictual or cynical mental state, accepting traffic regulations in an ideal sense, but rejecting them in an actual sense (e.g., speed limits, blood alcohol level, signaling regulations, parking violations, moving violations, required maintenance, seat belt use, child restraints, etc.)

De remixen van dit plaatje worden ons om de oren gegooid maar misschien is het origineel nog wel het leukst. Al mag de Cheat Codes-mix er ook best zijn.
Best nog wel een fijn liedje.
▒ Aangenaam plaatje uit de nazomer van 2016 door de pas 18 jarige Amerikaanse schone zangeres en songschrijfster uit L. A.: "Margaret 'Maggie' Elizabeth Lindemann" !!! Ruim 4 sterren ☺!!!
Aangename song, maar overstijgt nergens de middelmaat.
Erinnert mich vom Stil her an die Songs von Haylee Steinfeld, was schon mal nicht schlecht ist. Ein wunderbar hübscher kleiner Popsong, dem aber vermutlich der verdiente Erfolg verwehrt bleiben wird. Gute 5.
Original: 4*
Cheat Codes X Cade Remix: 6*

Ergibt gesamt eine Fünf. Der Song dürfte in den nächsten Wochen noch öfter im Radio zu hören sein und auch in den deutschen Charts noch ein Stück steigen. Hübsch eingängig eben.
Etwas arg glattgebügelter Popsong, performt von einer Sängerin, die mich optisch ja ein wenig an eine Kreuzung von Ariana Grande und Selena Gomez erinnert. Der Zielgruppe dieses Songs fühle ich mich inzwischen doch deutlich entwachsen.

Gute 3.
Ein steh auf Lied. Gefällt mir.
Whether it's true or not, it's tough to say something like "I'm not just a pretty girl" and not sound obnoxious; I guess this is about as close as one could get to pulling that off successfully. An enjoyable song.
Going to go with the most popular version which is the remix by Cheat Codes and CADE.

Edgy lyrics with a cool beat.
Im Original eher langweilig, im bekannten Remix ziemlich gut.
Good remix by the Cheat Codes. It makes it a great pop dance track.
I want to believe the heart is in the right place, but there's something super reductive about a woman having to seek approval by abandoning the expectations on her as a woman to be more like a typical 'bloke'...shudder. It plays out as a double entendre when you realise that in order to get international attention (in fact it's just about the most popular female-led song in the world at the moment) it needs to be remixed by a bunch of bros in order to complete the circle of bro-dom. In either incarnation, it's already too far off the deep end to reach salvation, not that forced conformity is something to celebrate, as the song would seem to agree!
Das ist so ein 08/15 "hit" dieses Jahrzehnts...klingt wie alles und ist sofort wieder vergessen..
Songs like this just make me wonder where did it all go so wrong for dance music? I mean, what is this tiny crap? 2012 isn't exactly light years away, but the difference is drastic and I'm not sure should I blame Kygo or Bieber for that. I think I'll choose Kygo so that I can blame Bieber for heaps of latin crap coming our way. Alternatively, and this might be it, I think I'm getting too old for this.
I like the original somewhat. Cheat Codes can get lost.

One of the best ways for a manufacturing company to build their reputation as an authority is to host or sponsor a webinar. We also recommend creating a corporate blog, publishing a white paper based on your industry knowledge, as well as attending the most important industry fairs and events.
Boost your online visibility by PPC, display ads and SEO.
A solid digital marketing strategy should include effective keyword research, SEO, PPC and display advertising. This is how you can obtain an excellent reach among people in your target market, thus increasing your chances to get them to contact you for a quote.
Here's how such things go. Manufacturing companies have the biggest benefits when they target specific markets in those regions where they have locations or distributors.
By creating region-specific websites, you'll have much better conversion rates in your PPC and SEO campaigns. In addition, you'll be able to target more lucrative keywords, with less effort. As a matter of fact, most internet users searching for a manufacturing company will use their city or geographic area in the search string. When you need a company in New York, you're going to search for it with these very words.
Compelling content is what makes online marketing and lead generation effective. By publishing a steady flow of high quality articles, you're going to improve your positions in search engines, thus increasing your authority and making people perceive your company as an industry leader.
This content should be able to solve the biggest problems of people in your target market. By addressing their needs and by offering them solutions and information they seek for, you'll manage to position yourself as an authority.
Give your brand a human face.
You can surpass your competitors by giving your brand a human face. Your potential clients have had enough of the boring corporate websites of manufacturing companies. They are interested in having meaningful conversations with the brands and in becoming engaged.
Our strongest piece of advice to manufacturing companies is to connect with their clients by showing them their human side. For instance, you should initiate an action meant to introduce your core team members to your potential customers. Share their photos and short stories about their passion for manufacturing.
Signs can help you advertise your business to the offline market – whether they are bus stop signs or even pan signs outside the office – making sure you have a good presence in this regards helps.
Make use of virtual tours to market your products.
Invest in creating video product presentations, safety videos and how-to videos. Don't forget to include some client testimonials, as they are very powerful means to show your audience how they will benefit from becoming your customers.
Take care of your current customers.
Use online marketing for customer retention purposes. Design email marketing campaigns meant to offer these customers special discounts and various gifts.


Sometimes when you are living and you are alive, you only have $0.16 left over for the last 10 days of the month & that is just the reality of this life. And sometimes, all of the time, that is okay! Because you have faith that God your provider will supply all your needs and you know that you will not die. As we spent the weekend munching on the crumbs of Doritos (not really, there were some half chips), slowly sipping the last ounces of milk (I dont even like milk), and searching the freezer every five minutes, we decided we should ask someone for some food.
First, however, was Sunday. And Sundays mean free coffee and tons of home-baked yummies from our Hospitality Team at Corvallis Church. You should come check us out :). So we went to church and consumed as much as possible (this is a horrible statement), then went home and passed out for about 5 hours. Our wonderful friends Jeff & Kaitlyn were planning on coming over later that evening for our condensed-young marrieds group. They asked if we should do a potluck style evening and Loren and I had to be spitting honest and tell them, "Sure, but you would be better off eating before you come. All we can offer is tea, cold coffee, and eggs with some tomatoes." The little gems they are. See that beautifully colored photo above? That is not even the half of what they brought us!
They even made this delicious dish of deliciousness: squash, potatoes, cheese, onions, olive oil. Just imagine it in your mouth and you will be in heaven. But in all honesty, if we had not been honest in the first place, how would the blessing have come? It is quite humbling to tell your friends you cannot offer them more than an egg and a tomato from your garden (honestly, we could have baked something but we were too lazy)...but it is such a beautiful thing when that humility turns into a bountiful of food. Or better yet, when that humility reminds you that the church is still the church...that the bride of Christ is still alive.
Not only did Jesus bring us food from our friends, but two days later I was given a check for a days worth of work that I have not yet worked. I was payed in advance! Not even asking for it. Can I say provision? What in the world or what in heaven, God is good. And we have no reason to doubt His promises.


Back to School - Stores!
Though we might be a bit sad about saying good-bye to sun-drenched days at the beach, a fair, the zoo… the onset of the back to school season has an energized feeling. You can see it in the faces of the kids as they shop for the perfect folders and pencil boxes; there's something exciting and contagious about anticipating and preparing for the school year. Summer has left us renewed and eager to get down to business.
A great way to kick off the school year is opening your own school store! Whether your school store is already an institution or a new start-up, Sky High Marketing can help make it great.
Generally run by school staff or PTO members, the fundraiser school store is a Spirit Shop (a version of the college bookstore) where pennants, apparel, water bottles, coffee mugs and other similar items are sold to students, staff, parents and friends. The Spirit Shop is generally open during school events and parent-teacher conferences to make the most of the target audience.
Supervised by a volunteer (faculty or PTO member) this store is run by students. This provides a rich hands-on educational environment for students who learn lessons in math, marketing and customer service. The school store for curriculum enhancement is typically run during student lunch hours, free periods, recess, and sometimes before and after school.
You can visit: http://www.ptoideas.com/category/46/School_Store for more ideas!
Whether your store is geared for fundraising or curriculum enhancement, Sky High Marketing can provide you with shelves full of product to get your store started. Put your school logo or mascot on pencils, pens, erasers, Sharpie markers, or pom poms, pennants, plush toys and more. See our August/September Specials and our Featured Products for ideas with a sweet price tag. Let us help you go back to school!


Dentistry struggles with the idea that mouth germs cause heart attacks. It's about to get hit with another paradigm shift.
We know that the bacteria in our mouths can enter the bloodstream where they cause systemic diseases like heart attacks, strokes, even Alzheimer's. The job of dentistry should be to prevent systemic diseases (not treat them) by managing the periodontal disease that causes them. This is the first paradigm shift that frankly dentistry has been slow to transition through. Periodontal disease, the source of these bacteria, has been described as an infection, but the problem is much deeper than that. The book Missing Microbes by Dr. Martin J. Blaser describes a troubling scenario. We have altered the normal, healthy bacterial flora, the microbiome, by the use of chemicals in our agriculture, through the use of antibiotics and eating unhealthy foods. The microbiome has lost its protective function and some important bacteria may be lost forever. What we have created is dysbiosis, dysfunction of the microbiome where instead of protecting us, it hurts us. This is the second paradigm shift, the idea that dental plaque originally had a healthy and a protective function. (Keep brushing and flossing, because, trust me, you don't have healthy plaque.) At least, that is my hypothesis. We have definitely not connected all of the dots as far as the complex bacteriological picture in our mouths, but recent advances in genetics have allowed for the detection of bacteria we didn't know were there. Can the oral microbiome be restored to a healthy, protective state? This will be the focus of my reading and survey of the scientific literature and questioning of the experts in the coming days and months. What an exciting time to be a dentist.
Beat the Heart Attack Gene is a detailed but readable explanation of the Bale-Doneen Method and I highly recommend it. It fell into my hands a year ago at just the right time in my life. I was going to be turning 63 in a few months, and was a little anxious about the fact that my father dropped dead of a sudden, unexpected heart attack at 63. This book has been helpful in my making a number of changes in my lifestyle, and I was privileged last month to meet Amy and Brad at the AAOSH Scientific Session in Las Vegas. My patients have also benefitted from this new approach to treatment.
This book details a new medical philosophy of prevention, the Bale-Doneen Method. Rather than the standard of care calculation of the risk of an adverse event, i.e., "Mr. Anderson, you have a 5% chance of a heart attack in the next 10 years," they seek to identify and remove or mitigate all of the known causes of heart attacks and strokes in their patients. Arterial inflammation is a major cause of heart attacks and strokes, and periodontitis--gum disease--is a cause of arterial inflammation.
Drs. Bale and Doneen worked together for many years at the Heart Attack and Stroke Prevention Center in Spokane. They are on the faculty of WSU's new Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine where their ideas now form part of the curriculum.
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a condition affecting the soft tissues of the mouth with extremely painful sores that present as white plaques, striations or large ulcerated patches, think canker sores two inches wide. For many years OLP was thought to be an autoimmune disease, but recent research is revealing that it might actually be considered an oral infection. This finding opens up the possibility for sufferers of more effective treatments aimed at controlling the bacteria. Oral pathogens such as Td and Fn have been found alive within the oral tissues affected by OLP, and these are some of the same bacteria known to enter the bloodstream through the gums where they damage tissues throughout the body. In fact, they are a cause of heart attacks, strokes, diabetes and even Alzheimer's (they have been found alive in the brain). Good gum health is more than an end in itself, it is a key to good health in general. Seeing your dentist might not only save your teeth, just possibly it could save your life.
If periodontal disease, the gum disease that affects 80% of Americans, were a chronic wound on people's arms instead of in their gums, they would immediately seek medical care. But somehow in the mouth, it's easy to accept the signs of a chronic wound, bleeding, suppuration (pus), tenderness and swelling as normal--for gums.
When the recommendations by the American Medical Association for treatment of a chronic wound are followed for treating gum disease, amazing things happen. Pockets shrink, inflammation is reduced, gums don't bleed and most important of all, the bacterial pathogens that cause gum disease are reduced or eliminated.
What if there were a treatment that could deliver oxygen deep into chronically inflamed gums, promoting healing of the wound and making a very unfriendly environment for the pathogens that cannot live in the presence of oxygen? There is, and its ingenious. A tightly fitting plastic tray with gel containing a low level of hydrogen peroxide is the delivery system that takes oxygen therapy to the depth of periodontal pockets. It's called Perio Protect, and we are seeing amazing results.
If you are interesting in treatment for your gum disease that doesn't involve surgery, and is effective at reducing pathogen levels and pocket depth, we can help.
The consequences of gum disease go far beyond the mouth. OralDNA, the medical lab that developed the MyPerioPath test for oral pathogens, recommends that all women be tested during pregancy for the germs that cause not only gum disease but also cause heart attacks, strokes and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Hormonal changes during pregnancy lead to greatly increased levels of these bacterial colonies in the gums due to the bacteria using the hormones as digestive enzymes.
They conclude with the following recommendation: "For these reasons, consider testing all women who are planning a pregnancy with the goal of reducing these bad bacteria."
If you are pregnant or planning pregnancy in the near future, call us to give you the MyPerioPath saliva test. It only takes a few minutes and you don't even need an appointment.

You don't have soft enamel, you have a dental infection that causes decay.
Correction: The DIY bleach solution described below should be used twice a week. An earlier version stated an incorrect frequency of use. As with all treatments, use under the supervision of your dental health provider.
Over the years, many people have tried to tell me that the reason they get so many cavities is that they have soft teeth. Unfortunately, this isn't quite the truth. Not only have people had this idea that they have defective teeth and there is nothing they can do about it, we in dentistry have tended to view tooth decay from primarily a surgical, rather than a medical model in treating decay. The problem is not only the expectations of people, but the point of view of dentists. My degree is as a doctor of dental surgery, after all. I am trained and licensed to surgically remove your tooth decay and to place a filling. But I have had to make a professional transition in order to properly begin to view dental decay as an infection that can respond to treatment much like other infections.
While it is very important to have regular dental cleanings and examinations, to brush and floss and to be careful about consuming a lot of sugar, tooth decay is a dental infection, and chances are it won't be eliminated without killing the germs that cause it and shifting your oral bacterial flora in a more healthy direction.
We have a wide range of ways to treat cavities as an infection, antibiotic rinses, fluoride, mouth trays to deliver medications to the teeth and gums, even a DIY recipe for a mouth rinse that will kill germs. We offer Perio Protect trays, the CariFree product line of cavity fighting products, chlorhexidine prescription rinse, prescription fluoride toothpastes and more. You can even use a probiotic for your mouth. A simple rinse you can make yourself at home is to add two teaspoons of Chlorox bleach (unscented, regular strength) to 1 cup of water* and rinse for one minute twice a week. Follow the rinse by brushing all the surfaces of your teeth with a prescription fluoride toothpaste (they contain much more fluoride than those you can buy over the counter) and then floss the paste between your teeth after that.
If you have a cavity, we will still need to treat it surgically, by removal of the diseased tooth structure and replacement with an artificial filling. However, we can reduce the need for further fillings by treating tooth decay biologically and medically. The possibility exists for you to win the fight against tooth decay, beginning with the understanding that what you are really fighting is an infection. We can help.
Welcome to Dental Health Group!
Recent studies have established the connection between the mouth and systemic disease, like strokes, heart attacks, diabetes, miscarriages, even Alzheimer's. It almost sounds like a bad science fiction movie, bacteria from periodontal disease circulate in your blood stream where they increase the levels of bad cholesterol and help make arterial plaques that cause cardiovascular disease. Living oral bacteria have been extracted from human arterial plaques. Oral plaque connected to arterial plaque, who knew?
The mouth is front and center in the fight against disease, and an important part of that fight is seeing us to keep it in tip top shape. How long has it been since your last visit for an oral examination and dental cleaning?
Give us a call today. More may be riding on it than just clean teeth and fresh breath.


Riosta Barcelona was created with the main purpose to give a personalized and quality service in the historic and architectural heritage management.

Kenyan forces say flush out suspected Islamist militants in forest
12 November 2015 defenceWeb (Reuters)
Kenyan security forces have destroyed five camps used by suspected militants linked to the Somali Islamist group al Shabaab in a sweep of a forest on the north coast, a commander in charge of the operation said.
The army and police launched the operation two months ago in Boni Forest, close to the Somali border, to flush out militants it believed were using the area to launch strikes in Kenya.
Al Shabaab has been behind a spate of attacks on Kenya in the past two years, including an assault on Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall that killed 67 people and a raid on Garissa university in the northeast that killed almost 150.
The militants also launched several attacks in 2014 that left more than 100 dead in Lamu County region, an area that includes Boni forest.
"The combined security units discovered five different al Shabaab hideouts inside the forest," the head of the operation, James Ole Serian, told Reuters. "The hideouts have already been destroyed and the weapons handed to the government."
The militants themselves fled when the operation was launched on Sept. 11 and none were arrested in the raids, he said. But several people in the surrounding area, mostly Kenyans, had been detained on suspicion of having links to the group, he added.
"You will be seeing some of them in court soon," he said.
Military planes and helicopters have been sweeping the area since the operation began and local residents have reported sporadic sounds of gunfire and blasts from the area.
"We are not leaving the Boni forest anytime soon until we ascertain that every terror element in the forest has been cleared," Serian said, adding the operation could take more than the three months originally planned.
Officials said at least 3,000 people living near the forest were forced to leave so the operation could go ahead.
In the port city of Mombasa, further south, a regional official said security forces were on alert for suspected militants who had fled Boni Forest area. Security forces have also set up road blocks between Lamu and Mombasa.
"We are very alert and have the names of some of them," Mombasa County Commissioner Nelson Marwa said.
