5,200 hectares more land to accommodate projected 6.9m population
By Imelda Saad | Posted: 31 January 2013 1210 hrs
Singapore plans to increase its land supply by nearly 8 per cent to 76,600 hectares to accommodate its projected population of 6.9 million by 2030, according to the Land Use Plan report released on Thursday.
Singapore's total land area now stands at 71,400 hectares.
The details came just two days after the release of the White Paper on Population outlining Singapore's strategies for a sustainable population.
About 60 per cent will be set aside for housing, industry and community facilities — up from the current 52 per cent. And a large part of the additional land will come from reclamation and freeing up reserve land.
Minister for National Development Khaw Boon Wan said: "Some Singaporeans, in fact, many say, 'How could it be? It's already so crowded — 5.3 million — buses (and) trains. How is it possible to have 6.9 million population? The planners must be mad!'
"I think that's a legitimate reaction and of course they ask good questions — which is, how can you be sure, more population, but quality of life will remain the same but in fact even better?
"Actually the answer is yes, it's possible — you can have a larger population and yet have a better quality of life, but conditions must be right.
"So what are those conditions — one, there must be planning, which means good long-term planning and secondly, there must be good infrastructure that must be built ahead of demand.
"So if those conditions are there then you can (resolve) this seemingly difficult problem — how to achieve better quality of life despite a greater or larger population.
"And we are confident because we have time, because we are talking about the future — 2020, 2025, 2030 — and as planners our mantra is the Boy Scouts' motto – 'prepare for the worst but hope for the best'.
"So in fact, from the planners' point of view, we need aggressive projection. The figure 6.9 sounds aggressive but from the planners' point of view, we need aggressive figures, aggressive projections, so that we can prepare for the worst.
"The worst is if we plan for the best and then the worst comes, then you'll be under providing as what happened in the last few years."
Some golf courses and military training grounds will make way for redevelopment.
There are now 18 golf courses in Singapore, covering about 1,500 hectares of land with leases that run for 30 years. The Law Ministry said the majority of the leases will expire between 2021 and 2030, adding that some of the golf courses would have to be phased out and the land put to other uses.
"We are working with the planning agencies over the next few months to provide clarity to the various golf courses on whether or not their leases can be extended," the ministry said.
To accommodate 700,000 new homes by 2030, there are plans for new towns, new homes in existing estates and more homes in the central region.
For example, Tengah — a military training area — will be transformed into a new town with about 55,000 homes. The plan is to consolidate military training activities at Tekong once reclamation there is complete.
Most of the reclamation will be done at Tekong — an offshore island located on the north eastern part of Singapore, used for military training — and Tuas, in the south western part of the island.
Beyond 2030, potential reclamation areas include Marina East, Changi East and Pasir Ris. These are also marked as reserve sites that can support future needs such as housing and industries.
Other possible future reclamation sites include clusters around the western islands and the southern parts of Singapore.
Another strategy is to go underground — by expanding current uses of underground space — for example, with train lines, underground expressways and retail malls.
The government is also exploring more uses for underground caverns for industrial and commercial developments.
Addressing concerns over the quality of life, policy makers have painted the picture of what is described as "highly liveable, high density towns".
These will be towns with a full range of amenities from childcare centres, hospitals and recreational nodes.
By 2017, 20,000 more childcare places will be made available near homes, transport nodes and workplaces, up from the current 92,000.
By 2020, there will be an additional 2,200 acute hospital beds — 30 per cent more than the number available today.
In addition, there will be 1,900 community hospital beds added to the supply by 2020 — up from the current 800 beds.
By 2030, at least 85 per cent of Singaporeans will live within a 10- to 15-minute walk to a park.
Plans are already underway to improve public transport connectivity by ramping up the rail network and improving bus connectivity. To alleviate congestion around main commercial centres, jobs will be brought closer to homes.
So there are plans for two new commercial belts in the northern and southern parts of Singapore.
The North Coast Innovation Corridor will be ready in about 10 to 15 years' time while the Southern Waterfront City is expected to be developed after 2027, when the existing port relocates to Tuas.
Mr Khaw said: "The underlying principle is not quantity, it's not statistics, the underlying principle is quality.
"In the next phase of development in Singapore, let us strive for quality. Quality living, quality worklife, quality environment, quality schools, quality pre-schools that have better balance in life. Quality in inter-people relationships, a much more gracious society.
"I think that is a life worth looking forward to and that is a vision that is within our grasp. We can achieve it with better resources and better attitude, it is totally within our grasp.
"This is not to say we don't have current problems, overcrowding etc etc but you know we are addressing that as fast as we can and they will be resolved.
"Please do give us some time but even as we resolve current problems, our eyes must be on our future.
"So the key is planning and infrastructure and with time, we can achieve both, so please don't worry."

The Republic F-84 was produced to meet a late WWII requirement for a pursuit aircraft capable of reaching 600+ MPH. Like most of the first generation of jets its service entry and performance was restricted by the engine it was powered by, and so was superseded by research data gained from captured German sources before it entered squadron service.
By the time of North Korea's invasion of the South many USAF units had taken on the –E model with improved performance. These joined the F-80s, several piston powered types and early Navy jets in the battle to stem the Northern aggressors with the premier type, the F-86A, staying at home. Despite some air-to-air successes the Thunderjets were outclassed by the communist's new weapon, the Mig 15. This necessitated the introduction of the Sabre into the theatre to get back air superiority. This saw the F–80s and F–84s switch almost exclusively over to ground attack.
TheF-84Es were supplemented by new F-84G models, these were able to carry more ordnance and were the first single seat Nuclear capable aircraft, fortunately for all of us they never put that capability into play.
Hobby Boss have joined Heller, Tamiya and Academy in issuing a kit of the plank wing Thunderjet in 1/72. The kit is one of the entry-level series that is a bit different than your normal run of the mill injection molded kit. On opening the box you are confronted with what seems to be a partially constructed model in a black vacformed tray. The reason for that being the manufacturers method of reducing the number of parts to a minimum by forming the majority of the fuselage as one piece complete with cockpit as well as the upper and lower wing with a section of the lower fuselage. Most major parts are joined with large pins that make this almost a push together kit. Total parts count for this kit is 55, high for this series, several are optional or not used.
Things under wings consist of 4 sets of rockets and a pair of drop tanks. The wings have part of the pylons for the tanks molded on and the holes for the rockets are already opened up.
As far as molding flaws etc go there are excess pieces to be removed from the front U/C, tank pylons and the rockets and a seam that runs the length of the upper fuselage. Most other problems will be hidden after construction.
Instruction sheet shows a 3-stage construction process with all painting details on the reverse side. This painting and decaling guide is on the crowded side with close inspection needed (in other words a magnifying glass for these old eyes) to see where the smaller decals go. Paint numbers are given for Mr. Colour and Aqueous Hobby Colour.
The decal sheet is as big as the box and gives 2 options: F-84E Sandy from the 9th FBS, 49th FBW Taegu 1951. F-84E flown by Col. Laven, CO of the 86th FBW in Germany 1951. These decals look good on the sheet and are well printed and include plenty of stencil markings. The under wing markings will need to be applied before the rockets, this is not mentioned in the instructions.
All in all, this looks to be an excellent attempt at a –E model. Some will view the way the parts are molded as a hindrance but this kit should be welcomed by newcomers and those with many kits under their belt.


Many nights ago, I dreamed I was wearing some sort of ring. Well, not exactly wearing… Basta, I saw a ring on my dream. It looks "Celtic". There's a symbol over the rock of the ring. It's a rough rock though.
And so, I just searched today, Because I remembered the dream just now.. and that I've kept a mental note to search for the meaning behind it.
Rings: Dream rings represent a promise or bond we have with our destiny, with another person, or with our community. This symbolic bond is incredibly strong and infinite. When we dream of a Ring slipping off our finger, we must rekindle the relationships we've let slip. When we dream of Rings that are stuck on our finger, we need to re-examine an unhealthy relationship.
Oooh. so it tells about some promise I made. or bond. What is it?? What bond? What promise? Oh dear. Imma have loads of time to remember that.
Is it pertaining to my MISSION to the world? Please, help me remember exactly what I promised to do…..
the rock ring was not something like the one on the picture. couldn't find a picture of that.. but it was certainly rough… and it looks like plain but there was some sort of an engraving covering the ring.
to continue on my previous post… i saw my dentist. i had 3 sessions with her. i need to go back on September for the regular visit.
i received a snippet today….
a confirmation to what I have been feeling lately.
i felt i really need to go be silent and meditate. i did it almost every day at one point in my life and everything was going great.
i had my palm read by a Catholic Priest who does acupuncture for my dad… and he said… i need to be in tune with the heavens (not exactly his words… but he said… i will be needing to pray a lot.).
now all i need is a sacred spot. mhmmm….
one afternoon, i saw a chocolate at the table. and i quickly picked up one. just a bite. gobbled up a piece. i lied down because the heat was really making me "drowsy". a few minutes later, while resting, my tooth began to ache. i tried to ignore it at first hoping it will disappear in a few moments. but, then it became unbearable.
i just tried to sleep it off. but, it was still there. tried to take the pain off by numbing it with a minty paste which i often use for tooth aches. but, no.. it didn't help.
we had to go to a Catholic Priest who does acupuncture and it was his last day of treatment for my father as he was leaving overseas and won't be back for a month. and i really wanted to check something from my back.
anyway, i went with my parents and my cousin despite the toothache. still feeling the pain. and cringing now and then. tried to gargle it with water and all that. it's reaching my ears. arggghhh. while we were there and my Dad had his treatment i just sat at a chair and curled up (good thing, i can.. with the type of chair). a few minutes later, i told my mom: "Ma, i'll just go home. can't take it anymore." Mom told me, to just wait it out.
and then out of the blue i remembered the "headache technique" which was introduced to me by Dr. Andre. Mhmm… it worked for a headache.. .why not, a toothache??
and I used it. and i began improvising… i even called out to "Angel Raphael". and then…. i began to feel heat accumulating at the affected tooth.. and i have this urge to open my mouth and blow the air out. I did. Twice. and just like that.. the pain faded… and disappeared. just like that!!!!
i was so overwhelmed. i cried. and i told my mom my experience and i was really ecstatic to share my experience firsthand!! i was like… wow!! it really touched me. brought tears to my eyes.
i know the angels are out there… and God has given us a wonderful tool to make our days better…. and lovelier….thank youuu sooo much….
now i guess.. angels are telling me to stop snacking on sweets and go to the dentist.
i need to go get an appointment. asap.
This blog site will contain…. some angel snippets…. the snippets i get from angels around me.
Sometimes those snippets would come from my dreams… or some number I keep seeing over and over again, or some out of this world experience, or the miracles I always see along the way…..
I had a dream some 2 nights ago. I would not have the chance to remember it have I not seen a picture of a "spaceship" online. And it hit me: *sparkle and stardust* I remembered I dreamed of seeing a spaceship in my dream. I think it was even pink and purple.
And I began searching online for the meaning…..
I just saw a spaceship so it means.. I'd be having visitors from far away… mhmm….
If you dream about a spaceship, you are ready to explore your spriritual side. You are an independent, imaginative, and creative thinker. You need a different, perhaps unusual, perspective to transcend circumstances and explore new, creative solutions.
But this is what struck me the most….
A spaceship represents your guides or guardian angels. Even if you believe in them, if the concept is any way strange or feels alien to you, they can show up in your dreams like this. The dream is asking you to let them make contact.
Hmmm… just days ago… I was really desiring to make contact with my angels. I know they are around…but it's like I want to really hear them… or I don't know..
Thanks for the sign lovely angels!!

Mediation - what do you have to lose?
15 January 2015 #Dispute Resolution
Mediation is a voluntary and confidential form of alternative dispute resolution (www.practicallaw.com/0-107-6391) (ADR). A neutral third party is appointed by the parties who are in dispute in an attempt to reach a settlement without the involvement of the court. Depending on what you want to achieve, mediation can offer a number of advantages. Parties retain control of the decision on whether or not to settle and on what the terms of the settlement will be. It is a far cheaper means of resolving a dispute than taking matters all the way to a court hearing and mediators provide more creativity and flexibility over settlement options than the court process. It is not surprising therefore that mediation statistics indicate a high success rate, with some mediators claiming success rates in excess of 90%.
On the downside, if the mediation is unsuccessful, the costs may have been incurred without benefit. Some parties are wary of "showing their cards" to the other side and it is not unknown for litigants to use the exercise to probe the other side's strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes a party will feel it has such a strong case that it feels it will only end up compromising unnecessarily in the mediation process. And in a case where it is "win or lose", for example on the interpretation of a contract, it may be felt that mediation is not the answer. However, the courts have been clear that they expect parties to engage in ADR even in cases where the above concerns are present and the costs rules back this up. Where a party has been found to have unreasonably refused a request to engage in mediation, adverse costs consequences may be imposed, with the refusing party being ordered to pay some or all of the other party's costs even if they are successful and would otherwise have been entitled to their own costs. The courts have taken this approach in a long line of cases over the last 10 years or so, with very few exceptions.
In a very recent 2014 case - Northrop Grumman Mission Systems Europe Limited (NGM) v BAE Systems - the court confirmed its willingness to penalise parties refusing genuine offers of mediation. Here, the dispute essentially boiled down to contractual interpretation – whether there was a termination for convenience clause in a Licensing Agreement between the parties – and £3 million depended on that interpretation. It was decided, following trial, in BAE's favour and NGM accepted that under normal principles BAE as the winning party was entitled to costs. However, NGM argued that this award should be reduced by 50% because BAE had unreasonably refused to mediate. The court accepted this argument. Any refusal to mediate must be considered in light of the merits of the case, the extent to which mediation was attempted, delay and costs, and whether mediation would have had a reasonable prospect of success. In this instance, this was exactly the sort of situation in which a mediator could have assisted. A mediator is skilled in finding a middle ground, bringing the skills of evaluation and facilitation to the table, and they can find solutions which otherwise would not be considered. Whilst BAE's confident view of their claim did provide some justification for not mediating, when considering all the other factors, mediation would have had reasonable prospects of success and it had therefore been unreasonable for BAE not to participate in it (the court said).
Unusually in this case NGM was found to have been equally unreasonable in refusing to accept a without prejudice offer that had been made (and which it subsequently failed to better in court). The two unreasonable positions effectively cancelled each other out and so there were no adverse costs consequences for BAE; BAE got away with it. But this will not be the normal outcome to a refusal to mediate.
The message coming from the courts could not be clearer. Any refusal to a request to engage in mediation should be done so with extreme caution - even when a party reasonably believes it has a very strong case and that mediation will be fruitless. Such a refusal is still very likely to result in the refusing party being penalised in costs.

Which city is known as the Athens of the East?
The leading position of Athens may well have resulted from its central location in the Greek world, its secure stronghold on the Acropolis and its access to the sea, which gave it a natural advantage over inland rivals such as Thebes and Sparta.
The Athens lived by the Sea which was an advantage because they had an excellent trading system. Even though the mountains protected Sparta it also caused trading problems, the Spartans had no way to get around the massive mountains to trade with people. Athens was located on the coast and included a harbor.
Athens, Modern Greek Athínai, Ancient Greek Athēnai, historic city and capital of Greece. Many of Classical civilization's intellectual and artistic ideas originated there, and the city is generally considered to be the birthplace of Western civilization. The Acropolis and surrounding area, Athens.
IT\'S FUNNING: What are the pros and cons of democracy in ancient Greece?
This result was driven by its geographical features that played a large role in shaping the city's economy, and consequently, the political system. … Because of the lack of fertile soil in Athens for producing crops such as wheat, Athens had an agricultural system that relied primarily on the production of olives.
Today we feature the city of Athens, located in south-east Greece, the capital and largest city of the country. Situated on the Attic plain on the Greek mainland, it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the most important of which are Párnis, Pendéli, and Hymettus (Imittós).
What advantage did Athens have during the Peloponnesian War? – Athens had extensive farmland to feed its people. – Athens was protected by its location high up on a hill. – Athens was surrounded by rivers, which made it difficult to enter the city.
Athens did not have such a strong army as Sparta, but its navy was better developed. Athens did have another advantage, which was that many of their allies gave them financial support. The main disadvantage for the Athenians was that around 430 BCE, a plague struck Athens.
Sparta was one of the most powerful city-states in Ancient Greece. It is famous for its powerful army as well as its battles with the city-state of Athens during the Peloponnesian War. Sparta was located in a valley on the banks of the Eurotas River in the south-eastern portion of Greece.

Athens Values
While Spartans valued military strength, Athenians placed a higher value on education and culture. Their main goal was building a democracy. Athenians believed that the only way to build a strong democracy was to create well informed citizens. Boys were educated.
The geography of the region helped to shape the government and culture of the Ancient Greeks. Geographical formations including mountains, seas, and islands formed natural barriers between the Greek city-states and forced the Greeks to settle along the coast.
The country's mountainous terrain, many isolated valleys, and numerous offshore islands encouraged the formation of many local centers of power, rather than one all-powerful capital. Another key factor influencing the formation of city-states rather than kingdoms was the Mediterranean.
The mountains isolated Greeks from one another, which caused Greek communities to develop their own way of life. Greece is made up of many mountains, isolated valleys, and small islands. This geography prevented the Greeks from building a large empire like that of Egypt or Mesopotamia.
Greece's steep mountains and surrounding seas forced Greeks to settle in isolated communities. Travel by land was hard, and sea voyages were hazardous. Most ancient Greeks farmed, but good land and water were scarce. … Many ancient Greeks sailed across the sea to found colonies that helped spread Greek culture.

Fetal remains at abortion doc's properties can't be ID'd

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Shoddy record-keeping and the degraded condition of more than 2,400 sets of fetal remains that were found in the Illinois garage and a car of a late Indiana abortion doctor mean those remains cannot be identified, according to a preliminary report released Tuesday by Indiana's attorney general.
The report from Attorney General Curtis Hill's office comes more than three months after relatives of Dr. Ulrich Klopfer found 2,246 sets of fetal remains in Klopfer's garage in Will County, Illinois, following his death.
Authorities later found another 165 sets of fetal remains inside a car at a Chicago-area business where Klopfer, who died on Sept. 3 at age 79, had kept several cars.
In its report, Hill's office wrote that "based on the poor condition of the fetal remains and unreliable nature of the accompanying records, it is not possible to make an independent verification of the identities of the individual fetal remains."
The remains were initially determined to be from abortions Klopfer had performed from 2000 to 2002 at his clinics in Fort Wayne, Gary and South Bend. But the report states that investigators now believe the remains came from abortions he performed at those clinics between 2000 and 2003.
The Fort Wayne clinic closed in 2014, and the Gary and South Bend clinics closed the next year.
Klopfer's medical license was suspended in 2016 by Indiana regulators who cited shoddy record-keeping and substandard patient monitoring.
Hill's office is working with its Illinois counterpart to investigate the remains. That investigation has also uncovered thousands of abandoned patient medical records at Klopfer's former Indiana clinics and other properties.
Hill's office said it expects to release a final report on the fetal remains in the coming months.
The fetal remains were returned to Indiana and according to the new report, they will eventually be "interred in a respectful and dignified manner in accordance with state law." The patient records will be maintained and safeguarded "until such a time as they can be disposed of properly."

Nashville Restorative Dentistry offers the latest technology in cosmetic dentistry, holistic dentistry, sedation dentistry, metal-free and mercury-free dentistry, and oral surgery. Our mission statement is simple … to provide beautiful, healthy smiles while promoting and maintaining whole body wellness. We love what we do and we're committed to excellence. Come visit your Brentwood dentist today!
The Simple Answer: Holistic dentistry is an alternative approach to dentistry that believes your oral health is interconnected to your overall health. Such a dentist will focus on using non-toxic restorative materials, eliminating oral infections, and will promote optimal teeth / jaw / head / neck structural alignment. Because no dentist can "do it all," they will often work closely with other of healthcare professionals that can provide integrated, complementary care. The focus of a true Holistic Dentist is to identify issues that stem from the mouth and may be negatively impacting the health and well-being of their patient. Then they will work to find and implement the least invasive and toxic solution to the problem. True holistic care believes in, and will look to support, the body's natural ability to self-heal and regenerate and will avoid anything known to interfere with that process.
Today, there are a dizzying array of teeth-whitening products and procedures on the market, ranging from over-the-counter products in your local drugstore to more sophisticated clinical procedures available only from your local Brentwood TN dentist.
What's the difference between Metal-Free Dentistry and Mercury-Free Dentistry?
Flossing reduces the amount of bacteria found in your mouth. There are millions of microscopic bacterial creatures feeding on the food particles left on your teeth after eating. These bacteria are found in plaque which is effectively removed by flossing. Brushing your teeth gets rid of some of the bacteria in your mouth but flossing gets rid of the bacteria found in hard to reach places your toothbrush just can't get to. In these hard to reach spaces is where you'll find bacteria hiding and, if you don't remove by flossing, you'll allow to turn into hard, impacted plaque between your teeth. Once it hardens, it's referred to as tartar. Plaque can be removed by flossing but tartar can only be removed by a dentist.
If you're unsure of the proper method you should be using in your regular flowwing routine, ask your dentist to show you at your next appointment. You will both notice the difference at your next cleaning appointment.
I hear a lot of talk about 'cavitation' being a serious dental health issue. How would I know if I have it, and what can a dentist in Brentwood TN do about it?
Cavitation is a necrosis, or disease, of the bone, typically in your jaw. A good deal is known about the condition, and yes, it can be treated. We have a Cavitation Page on our site which has more information about the condition, and what treatment options are possible.
Cosmetic Dentistry is the art and science of designing wonderful smiles. Brentwood TN Dentists who focus on Cosmetic Dentistry combine all aspects of general dentistry with a special emphasis on aesthetics to assure those individual teeth, as well as your smile, look their very best.
Should I Consider Finding a Local Brentwood TN Cosmetic Dentist?
Cosmetic Dentist in Brentwood. Being certain that your smile makes you look your best will give you confidence in your everyday activities while improving your professional and personal image.
If your teeth are dark or worn, make you look older, if gaps or chips make you feel self-conscious, or if crooked or discolored teeth stop you from smiling fully, a local Brentwood TN Dentist who specializes in Cosmetic Dentistry can help. The negative effects of abnormal gum tissue or out of date dental treatments are also problems that can be corrected with Cosmetic Dentistry.
There are few issues in our practice that have received as much emphasis as this one. Today, with much better equipment, increased technology, better medications, and our added luxury comfort features, patients are much more comfortable during their treatment. After we have a treatment plan outlined, questions about discomfort and pain control can be easily be answered. There is no need to put off cosmetic procedures, and certainly not needed dental care, because of past fears of pain. We now offer Sedation Dentistry to ease those who want the benefits of Cosmetic Dentistry, pain-free. We would be happy to show you what Sedation Dentistry at our Brenwtood TN Dentist location can offer you.
I always get nervous about visits to the dentist. Is there anything you can do to help me?
How do I know I'm going to the RIGHT Cosmetic Dentist in Brentwood TN?
There are many things to consider when choosing who your Brentwood TN Dentist will be. It is natural to want the best care available when it comes to your dental health. To help you determine where you can receive the care that you deserve, we've included some tips to consider when selecting your dentist.
Technical skill, an artistic eye, and a rigorous program of post-graduate training allow the dentist to perform the procedures at the highest level. It may be surprising to learn that many dentists in the Brentwood TN area have not received any cosmetic education or just a simple introduction to cosmetics in their dental education. Your mouth is not the place for an untrained dentist to experiment with cosmetics. It is crucial that your Cosmetic Dentist has continued to learn more about dentistry even after their formal dental schooling has ended. If a dentist does not continually learn about improvements in the field, the rapid evolution of dental technology will pass them by and they will not be able to provide you with the best treatment. Learn what type of post-graduate schooling your dentist has completed ensuring your dental experience is of the highest quality.
In dentistry, just as in many professional fields, there are specialties that require a higher education, greater expertise, and advanced knowledge. While the ADA (American Dental Association) does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specific field, the AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry) was formed in 1984 to provide dentists a way to earn professional credentials through hours of continuing education, rigorous testing, and numerous case studies. Check to see if your dentist has completed any higher education to earn professional credentials.
You should ask your Brentwood TN Dentist to see before and after photos of their work. Just as you wouldn't buy a car without seeing it, you shouldn't engage the services of a dentist without seeing the work they perform first. If your dentist shows you a photo album of smiles, ask to be sure they are photos of their own patients and their own work. Beware of commercially produced photo albums that dentists can buy as marketing tools. These photo albums are generic and do not reflect the actual work your dentist has performed.
– Check with the State to ensure that there haven't been any complaints or adverse State Dental Board actions involving your Dentist Brentwood TN . In Tennessee, you can do this by logging on to the Tennessee Board of Dentistry Website.
Winning back-to-back awards for the best dentist near Brentwood only tells part of the story. If you've never been to a holistic dentist, you may not know how important it really is (or how hard it is to find one) … but patients travel hundreds of miles to benefit from our experience as a holistic dentist.
Holistic dentistry is different from traditional dentistry because it considers the relationship between the health of your mouth and teeth, and the health of the rest of your body. New research in the field of dentistry and wellness have shown that unhealthy gums, particularly gum disease, can contribute to high blood pressure. And old amalgam fillings which contain mercury have been linked to adverse effects in the brain, kidneys, and immune system. This link has more information about the dangers of amalgam fillings.
As a patient of Nashville Restorative Dentistry, we will help you achieve the best possible dental and whole body wellness using the safest and most modern technology in holistic dentistry.
In addition to pioneering holistic dentistry in Brentwood Tennessee, Nashville Restorative Dentistry was also one of the first in the area to introduce sedation dentistry into its practice.
If you haven't been to the dentist in a while because of painful memories or anxiety, it's time to check out the soothing comfort of sedation dentistry. It will completely change your experience at the dentist.
We offer both nitrous oxide (also known as laughing gas) for regular cleanings and simple procedures, and more powerful sedatives for intensive procedures. In many cases, you'll sleep through your entire appointment, wake up refreshed, and walk away with a healthy, beautiful smile.
When you arrive at our Brentwood TN dental office, you'll discover a unique environment that has been specifically designed to make your appointment as comfortable as possible. Each room includes a ceiling mounted television, so you can watch your favorite movie or TV show while you lay back in a "cushy" dental chair. Even the paint on the walls and heated blankets were selected to create a calming environment.
When you combine these features with the relaxing effects of sedation dentistry, even the longest dental appointments seem to drift by in a matter of minutes.
If you've ever been anxious about going to the dentist, you'll discover that modern sedation dentistry from Nashville Restorative Dentistry is nothing like you remember. It can completely change the way you think about going to the dentist.
And Don't Forget That Your Smile Can Be Transformed!
We have an incredible talent for creating beautiful "Hollywood Smiles" for our patients. We've had patients travel from as far as Florida and California to get one of our signature smiles. Take a minute to check out the Smile Gallery to see a small sample of "Total Smile Makeovers" that we have performed.
When you visit our office, you'll see photos covering the walls from patients who've experienced a transformation of their smile. Our patients have repeatedly reported a sharp boost in confidence after leaving our office with a beautiful new smile.
If you've been looking for a more comfortable dental experience, a sparkling new smile, and a dentist who cares about your needs and your health … look no further than Nashville Restorative Dentistry.
We're located just minutes from Brentwood TN and requesting an appointment is as simple as calling our office at (615) 591-0294 or clicking here to request an appointment on our website.

Ocean Adventurer
Explore Ocean Adventurer
A small-ship with a maximum capacity of just 128 guests. It has top class technical credentials that make cruising in this remote part of the planet a breeze.
Couples, Honeymooners & Adults.
A recent refurb to this popular ship has given it a modern upgrade and increased it's comfort and facilities ever further.
JOSH Flatman
The Ocean Adventurer is the new name for the Sea Adventurer, given to the boat after a multi-million-dollar renovation in 2017. Originally built, in what was then, Yugoslavia in 1976, it has been kept up to date with several refurbishments in 1999, 2002 and then most recently in 2017. It won the 2017 Travel Weekly Magellan Award for Overall Small Cruise Ship (500 passengers or under) in 2017.
This nimble ship with a cruising speed of 12.5 knots is one of the faster ships out there and with it's class 1A ice-strengthened hull it is very capable in the extreme conditions of the Antarctic. With the 2017 renovation comes a contemporary and refreshed look throughout the ship and to each of the 65 cabins.
The communal areas include a small gym, a smart dining room, the polar boutique gift shop, a 24 hour library with a host of games and relevant books and the main lounge which also serves as the lecture hall for presentations and movies. We particularly like the 'Breezeway' which is a semi-enclosed passageway running along the outside of the ship, which allows for excellent views while affording some protection from the elements.
From a technical point of the view the Ocean Adventurer upgraded to two new Rolls-Royce engines, which significantly increased full efficiency and reduced it's carbon footprint.
During the re-fit an additional six new twin cabins and three suites were added to the ship giving it a total capacity of 128 guests, in 65 cabins, plus room for 87 crew members. Triples can be accommodated in the six triple rooms, which include two twin beds and a further third, above one of the beds, in a bunk bed style. All rooms have a view of the spectacular scenery outside, the size of this view depends on the room, from a porthole window up to the ample windows in the three Owner's suites.
The cabins are fairly functional but very comfortable and with all the amenities that you should need during a voyage of this type, they all have private en-suite bathrooms, hairdryers, bath robes, a safe for your valuables, climate control and a daily housekeeping and laundry service.
The communal areas are welcoming and during the voyage you may even be allowed to access the bridge to observe how the captain and the officers sail and navigate the ship. Mail can be posted from the ship for that special memento for a loved one or perhaps just a reminder to yourself of this remote part of the world. Even phone calls and access to the internet are possible on board and vouchers can be purchased from reception.
The comfortable facilities on board the Ocean Adventurer include a gym, medical clinic, well-stocked library, a polar boutique shop, observation decks and a spacious lounge cum lecture theatre.
The dining room is located on the upper deck and as it is surrounded by windows you won't miss a thing. Seating is unreserved and dining takes place in one sitting. Meal times may change due to activities or wildlife sightings but you will always receive three freshly cooked meals a day. There is also a 24-hour beverage station in the lounge.
As well as the new, more efficient Rolls-Royce engines fitted to the ship, it burns Marine Gas Oil which is a clean burning fuel that confirms to the strict regulations and policies that govern the disposal of waste in this ecologically sensitive area. As well as this, on board there are number of initiatives to make the ship more eco-friendly including only serving sustainable seafood, using acid-free paper and each passenger is given a reusable water bottle to use during the voyage.

World of Walls : The Structure, Roles and Effectiveness of Separation Barriers
http://www.oapen.org/search?identifier=641876
Example quote from conclusion:
It is argued in the previous paragraphs that the fences Ceuta and
Melilla will continue to influence negatively Morocco's relations with
Spain and the EU. Spain's policy to fence the two enclaves' borders
reflects contradictory pressures in the region. While the Mediterranean
sphere has witnessed an increasing number of cultural and economic
cooperation projects in the last two decades, new physical and virtual
walls are being built in the region to achieve "Fortress Europe".
The way I "read" books like these is to skim through intro and conclusion to see if there's a chapter I want to delve into deeper. I'd argue it's slightly better than reading the newspaper summary of a book.
The U.S.-Mexico border wall marks the fault line between two different
worlds. Regardless of how many billions of dollars will be spent on
the further fortification and militarization of the common border, illegal
cross-border activities will continue so long as there is a huge disparity
in economic prosperity, political stability and social security between
the two countries.
Regional integration and advanced partnerships may reduce the
attractiveness of emigration, but they cannot erase the American dream
from the mind of millions of Latin Americans who will continue to seek
new ways to reach the America El Dorado — regularly or irregularly.
The common denominator of new immigration policies taken
by the host countries in the last two decades is the linking between
immigration policy and border-control management on one hand,
and between the immigration policy and security issues on the other
Security concerns remain a main determinant of the current border-
control policies which aim at preventing infiltration of members of
armed groups, irregular migration, goods smuggling, drug trafficking
and other clandestine cross-border activities. In some cases, border
fortification reflects the desire to impose unilaterally the de facto border.
One of the paradoxes of "globalization" is that an increasingly
interconnected and interdependent world is simultaneously marked by
intensified militarization and fortification of national borders. Today,
some regions — whether in North America, the Mediterranean or some
Asian sub-regions — are being pulled in two different directions: one
toward more complementarity and integration (e.g., NAFTA, Union for
Mediterranean, ASEAN, SAARC) and another toward the erection of
further tangible and intangible border barriers.
Despite relentless efforts by receiving countries to prevent
unauthorized border-crossing by immigrants, drug smugglers
and dissidents, these groups have not been deterred. Rather, they
have adapted to the strategies designed to impede their movement,
developing new ways and means to circumvent such barriers.
Though military walls may reach some short-term goals by
destabilizing the enemy, armed groups can adapt to the new situation
by developing missiles that can exceed the height of these barriers,
by digging tunnels or by penetrating the enemy lines using forged
documents as has been seen in Palestine and Kashmir.
One thing the conclusion and therefore perhaps the book overlooks in my view on walls is that they might improve security short-term, but long-term the psychological distance between the two groups of people will only increase. They won't just be neighbors anymore, but people from the Other side of the wall.

Browsers & Technology / Proxydomo: continued development of Proximodo
Today I was happy to learn about Proxydomo, meaning Proxomitron's legacy is alive and well on Windows. On the downside the website is a touch Japanese, but they have a less well-maintained English page here.

■ Introduction
This software is a local proxy filtering software
It is made using open source Proximodo for creation.
Confirm operation with windows 10 64bit
Maybe it should work with xp / vista / 7 / 8.1
The Linux Proxomitron alternative is Privoxy, for those who'd like to dabble in these things. You can chain it with Squid to get around idiotic browser behaviors.[1]

Browsers & Technology / Video Editing
Have you ever done any video editing? Which software did you use?
Back in early 2004 my friends and I made a short film in high school. Although we were given access to a fairly powerful computer with Adobe Premiere, we decided on Windows Movie Maker because Premiere was too freakin' complex to figure out. Windows Movie Maker has (or had) some fairly severe flaws though, most notably in the hardcoded number of tracks.
I asked a YouTuber whose work I admire and she uses Illustrator and After Effects. Naturally this is a great combination, but for a one-time affair I don't want to spend any or at least not that kind of money. Besides, my preferred OS is Linux. I won't use Windows if I can help it. But Illustrator is a fantastic piece of software and I'm convinced After Effects makes a great companion to it.
The obvious free and open source alternative for Illustrator is Inkscape, a program with which I have close to a decade of experience (although I only use it intermittently).[1] but I've also heard good things about Krita. It's After Effects that I don't immediately know the proper alternative for. The Free Software Foundation has even called this a high priority issue.[2] Some quick testing suggests Kdenlive to be the best fit for my purposes.[3] Blender is significantly more complicated, while Pitivi is just a touch too simple. OpenShot looks really, really promising as well. In fact I like the GUI design better than Kdenlive, but in Debian I couldn't even get it to work (segmentation fault) while in Xubuntu it crashed on me twice while doing some basic testing, which doesn't exactly instill the trust to use it for real. To top it off, SVG support in OpenShot is fairly abysmal. Something as simple as making a part of some text a different color in an SVG doesn't even show up, so I'd have to export everything to PNG first in order to use it.
tl;dr I'm opting for Kdenlive. Do you think I missed anything or do you want to share some experiences? Let me know!

Forum Administration / Upcoming Upgrade
I don't quite now when yet as I'm still working on it, but within the month I'll be switching the forum software from Simple Machines to ElkArte.
I've already ensured we'll keep the features we know and love by porting them over or finding alternatives, like quick quote, bookmarks and first post on every page.
We'll gain a much improved experience on mobile devices, auto-saving drafts for posts, improved password security, as well as @mentions and likes.
When the software switch is done, you'll have to sign in twice to upgrade the safety of your password.

Everyone who registered over 14 days ago and still hasn't activated their account.
Members who have 0 posts, were last online a month ago, and have a website URL in their account info.
Lastly, the same as the above, but without a website URL. In this category I hand-picked three legitimate users who once registered but never did anything else. If I overlooked you because I thought your username and e-mail sounded suspicious, I apologize. The spammers make life worse for everyone. If you fell victim to an unfortunate deletion, please keep in mind you only need to register to post, not to read.

Hobbies & Entertainment / Internet Archive Software Emulation
Two hours ago, the Internet Archive opened up its first MS-DOS straight-in-browser emulation. For example, you can now check out Castles that way. I used to play Arcade Volleyball with my friends.
Don't forget, this is on top of the already extant JSMESS emulation of over 600 systems. An example of that is Wordstar. I hope Microsoft Works 2.0 will come to the MS-DOS emulation, because I'm just not sure if I've got the actual program anymore myself, and if I do it's on a possibly deteriorating floppy disk.

I've got access to Microsoft Office 365 for business, so I figured I'd try that OneDrive thing today. Uploading a 365 MB file* is allegedly still going, even though it's been stuck at approximately 5% for over five hours now.** So much for my first and probably only experiment with the product. If you go American and closed-source, stick with Dropbox. It actually works.
* Not a joke! I compressed a 4 GB image and it ended up at 364.9 MB.
** Oddly enough, that's also not a joke. Admittedly it doesn't actually display a percentage but only a bar.
Hobbies & Entertainment / Loudness War
A definition from Wikipedia:
"Loudness war" or "loudness race" is the popular name given to the trend of increasing audio levels on CDs and in digital audio files since the early 1990s, which many critics believe reduces sound quality and so too listener's enjoyment. Increasing loudness was first reported[by whom?] as early as the 1940s with respect to mastering practices for 7" singles. The maximum peak level of analog recordings such as these is limited by varying specifications of electronic equipment along the chain from source to listener, including vinyl record and cassette players.
I found a website that allows you to check the dynamic range of albums before you commit your money:

Browsers & Technology / Less obvious Android uses
The other day I was musing about proper portable keyboards.
Quote from: Frenzie on 2014-09-03, 20:41:11
On a separate note, I came across this interesting portable keyboard. It'd work with my Android phone's USB OTG functionality, making it potentially useful in certain use cases. It'd be more pleasant to use than my netbook's keyboard, but on the other hand the netbook is definitely a lot more capable than my phone…
In my eyes the obvious answer is not a regular Android editing app, but rather something console-based. I decided to investigate just what exactly my phone does and does not support.
The good, my terminal emulator comes with:
Vim (and nano)
That's all you need for writing and syncing basic notes. But the dream, of course, is git. It seems the simple solution evades me because even though I have 120MB free on my phone's memory (and more on SD), it runs out of space while installing. So much for that plan. If I wanted to go in this direction, I guess I'd need a less elegant GUI option. Or perhaps a Debian chroot…
Do you have any ideas or dreams about unintended ways to use your phone?
Browsers & Technology / Windows Frustration Thread
Because of my uneventful minor upgrade I decided to reintroduce Windows 7 on one of my disks for gaming purposes. But during installation, Windows kept complaining about not being able to find or use a "system disk" (read: bootable partition), even though I explicitly cleared out an entire disk for it to do with as it pleased. I tried preparing partitions in GParted, but no luck.
In a last-ditch effort I physically unplugged each and every one of my drives except the one on which I wanted to install Windows. What do you know? It worked. The bottom line: this kind of stuff is why I purged Windows from my system in 2011.
DnD Central / Mysticism
Quote from: ersi on 2014-06-17, 18:34:29
That's exactly what blessed Ruysbroek says. He puts a check on himself referring to church's authority. What's your reaction? I personally prefer uninhibited individual quest.
That's why a female mystic like Hadewijch is both literarily and mystically speaking more interesting than Ruusbroec. In fact Ruusbroec adopted several of her ideas without attribution, but that aside.

Q: JWT Authentification invalid Credentials with the token I am new to Symfony and jwt Authentication.
I tried to set up an access to api platform resources with a jwt token.
I followed the doc https://symfony.com/bundles/LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle/current/index.html to set up the token.
My problem comes after the token generation, on PostMan I add the generated token in Authorization -> Type : Bearer Token -> Token: the token, and when I make the request I get a return:
{
"code": 401,
"message": "Invalid JWT Token"
}
Token generation:

Token info:

Request get/Users:

Thanks in advance for your help

A: I found the problem
To connect I use the email field, while LexitJWT uses the username. I don't know why it doesn't block me from generating the token.
To fix the problem just go to the config/packages/lexik_jwt_authentication.yaml file and add user_identity_field: email

The Paradox of Power and Weakness (July 1998)
Levinas and an Alternative Paradigm for Psychology
George Kunz - Author
Offers an alternative paradigm for psychology, one that reflects Levinas's criticism of a self-centered notion of identity. Reveals the secret of an "authentic" altruism through a phenomenology of both power and weakness, and of the paradoxes of the weakness of power and the power of weakness.
The metaethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas challenges Western egocentrism by describing the self as egoic yet nevertheless et...(Read More)
Ethics and the Discovery of the Unconscious (July 1997)
John Hanwell Riker - Author
Develops an original and compelling moral psychology that recognizes both the centrality of unconscious motivation and the inescapability of moral responsibility.
This book shows why the discovery of the unconscious by Nietzsche and Freud requires a reconception of the concepts of moral agency and responsibility and even of morality itself. It explicates how contemporary psychology has taken over the traditional task of ...(Read More)
Self and Deception (July 1996)
A Cross-Cultural Philosophical Enquiry
Roger T. Ames - Editor
Wimal Dissanayake - Editor
Distinguished scholars discuss the problem of self-deception, or rather, self and deception.
"The book is a provocative trailblazer in that it explores the problematic issues of 'self' and 'deception,' and particularly, 'self-deception,' not only from an epistemological perspective but also from cross-cultural dimensions. While the approach is primarily philosophic, the work is pregnant with implications for cognitive sc...(Read More)

Imagination and Ethical Ideals (August 1994)
Prospects for a Unified Philosophical and Psychological Understanding
Nathan L. Tierney - Author
"Tierney gives us an account of moral ideals that is philosophically sophisticated, psychologically realistic, and sensitive to our nature as imaginative moral creatures. Moral philosophy is desperately in need of such an account, if it is going to address the needs and motivations of actual human beings. With brevity, subtlety, and deep insight, Tierney shows us what is unsatisfactory about a morality grounded on universal rules and based on a noti...(Read More)


It has a body length of 27cm with a long red beak.
Summer migratory bird. They were common in the past but are now rare. They have been seen continuously in Gyeryongsan National Park since the Natural Resource Research project of 1993.

It's the smallest salamander with a body length of 5~7cm.
This lungless amphibian breathes through its skin. It was first discovered in April 2003 in Jangtaesan Mountain, Daejeon. Since then, they were found to be living in Songnisan, Woraksan, Gayasan, and Naejangsan National Parks. It was the first salamander found in Asia that breathes through its skin. It's a very important species in the aspects of biogeography.
