The Spanish driver follows in the footsteps of his brother Nil, who won the title in this category two seasons ago.
It will be the only Spaniard skidding on the icy roads this weekend. Jan Solans starts his assault on the Junior World Championship in the Rally of Sweden, following in the footsteps of his brother Nil, who won the title in that category two seasons ago. Today, the two brothers Solans (the oldest in WRC2) and Dani Sordo is the only confirmed Spanish in the World Championship 2019.
Jan reaches the World Cup after implemented last year in the R2 Fellowship of the Royal Spanish Automobile Federation. The initial prize was to compete in the European Championship, but it has been achieved Go one step further and make the leap to the maximum category. In Sweden he starts his season, which will also have stops in Corsica, Sardinia, Finland and Great Britain.
A 21 years old will face several more experienced drivers, such as Dennis Radstrom, who was runner-up last year, or Julius Tannert, who already competed in front of his brother Nil two seasons ago. In total it will have a dozen rivals of 11 nationalities that will fight behind the wheel of the Ford Fiesta R2 (all compete with the same car) to get the succulent prize: a Fiesta R5.

The Walking the Western Front series started in 2012 with the release of two films on the Ypres Salient. Directed by acclaimed film maker Ed Skelding with guest historian Nigel Cave, the series of films offered a detailed tour of the battlefields, exploring the skirmishes originally fought there as well as calling on Nigel's high level of expertise. The duo also visited a number of war cemeteries and famous locations on the battlefields.
This book, brought to you by the same team, is aimed as a companion to the DVD series and explores the history of the battlefields through the eyes of the camera team. Complete with 150 prints, both in colour and black and white taken over a twenty year period reflecting the authors many filming trips to the Somme, the book shows the battlefield as it was almost 100 years ago and is accompanied by a shot of the exact same spot as it stands today. The author then explains the significance of the photographs and why they were included in both the book and the film. Battleground historian Nigel Cave will also contribute to proceedings and add his expert knowledge to the narrative. While researching the battlefields, the author has taken many photographs with the intention of selecting locations for filming. Each has been carefully chosen to maintain the narrative and, as much as possible, to put the viewer/reader on the spot where the action took place.
During the centenary anniversary of the Great War, these films and books are designed to follow on from the success of Great Battles of the Great War as more people visit the battlefields. While this book will take the reader to the most recognised locations on the Somme, it will also take them to the places less well known, off the beaten track.
An excellent book to prepare to visit a tragic place.
Gun Mart, December 2018 – reviewed by John Norris

Armourer, November – December 2016
This is an excellent book. It is not merely an accompaniment to the 2 previous videos, but a book which stands in its own right both as a record of that awful day, but also a key to unlocking the question which faces any visitor to the Somme battlefields. "How could all that horror have happened here, in these rolling fields and green woods?" The panoramic format of the photographs, and the care taken to relate them to the text which tells the story of the site, helps the reader/visitor to orientate themselves into the events of 1916 in a way which the old grainy black and white contemporary pictures cannot. I stood on the lip of the Lochnagar Crater for the centenary ceremony and looked behind me at the fields in the bright early morning sunshine trying to imagine the moment 2 minutes later when the troops went over the top. This book resurrects that experience and brings the battlefield to life by distilling 100 years into a set of distinctive and often moving pictures. The production quality is very good, which greatly helps the reproduction of the photographs; the size and format makes it equally at home in your rucksack or on the proverbial coffee-table.

On July 6, an evening Army Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) HF practice net in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region 2 (New York and New Jersey) was interrupted by several "mayday" distress calls on the channel, which is shared with the maritime service. Net control station Ron Tomo, KE2UK, immediately halted training and attempted (without success) to establish radio communication with the station in distress. Tomo then directed two other net members who heard the distress call -- John Hoover, K2XU, and Wayne Gearing, K2WG -- to attempt to establish communication and offer assistance.
While the other net members were attempting to contact the vessel by radio, Tomo contacted the US Coast Guard (USCG) station at Jones Beach Island in New York, which alerted the USCG Sector Command at Long Island Sound to join the MARS operators on frequency. MARS operators remained on frequency to assist the USCG in listening for the distress call.
Several hours later, the fishing vessel Falling Star was identified as missing with 15 individuals on board, all from Honduras. Ten days later, the USCG confirmed that 10 of the passengers survived in a skiff and were rescued by a passing commercial oil tanker -- the MTM
Surviving crew members from the Falling Star spent 10 days in a skiff.
Amsterdam -- which spotted their small craft. Tragically, the skipper of the Falling Star died 1 day before the survivors were found, and was buried at sea.
The vessel was en route from Jamaica to Guatemala when it was reported to have rolled over without warning on July 6, just before midnight.
MARS volunteers alerted the USCG to the vessel in distress several hours before the Falling Star was identified and confirmed as missing. While 10 of those aboard Falling Star were rescued, five others didn't make it home after this tragic event.
The Jamaica Defence Force (JFD) Coast Guard collaborated with counterparts from the US, Honduras, Nicaragua, Colombia, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands in the search for the vessel.
The FCC is seeking nominations for a chairperson and members of the Technological Advisory Council (TAC). In a July 21 Public Notice, the Commission announced that it intends to re-establish the TAC for 2 years by August 20, 2021. It's anticipated that the renewed panel could hold its first meeting in October.
The TAC provides technical advice to the FCC and makes recommendations on the issues and questions presented to it. The panel typically has several radio amateurs among its members. Greg Lapin, N9GL, has represented ARRL on the TAC.
Among other issues, FCC Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel will ask the TAC to start looking beyond 5G and conceptualize 6G. In addition, she'll ask the TAC to study advanced spectrum-sharing techniques, implementation of artificial intelligence, and machine learning to improve the utilization and administration of spectrum and other emerging technologies.
All organizational or individual members appointed to the Council or its working groups are subject to an ethics review by the Commission's Office of General Counsel. Council members receive no compensation for their service. Nominations for membership must be submitted to the FCC by August 20.
Procedures for submitting nominations are spelled out in the Public Notice, which includes details on membership qualifications and obligations.
The FCC said it's particularly interested in receiving nominations and expressions of interest from individuals and organizations in these sectors:
Communications service providers and organizations representing communications service providers.
Manufacturers of communications equipment and organizations representing manufacturers of communications equipment.
Providers of internet applications or cloud-based services.
Scientists and engineers from academia or independent consultants who are recognized experts in their field.
Qualified representatives of other stakeholders and interested parties with relevant expertise.
"Members will be selected to balance the expertise and viewpoints that are necessary to effectively address the issues to be considered by the Council," the FCC said.

Friday and Saturday, August 6 - 7, Russian cosmonauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) will transmit slow-scan television (SSTV) images from the station on 145.800 MHz FM. They will use
An SSTV image received in June 2021 by Cherciu Neculai, YO4ESB.
SSTV mode PD-120.
The transmissions are part of the Moscow Aviation Institute SSTV experiment (MAI-75) and will be sent via RS0ISS, the ham station in the Russian Zvezda (Service) module using a Kenwood TM-D710 transceiver.
The announced schedule is August 6, 1050 - 1910 UTC; August 7, 0950 - 1555 UTC. Dates and times are subject to change. For stations in the ISS footprint, the RS0ISS signal should be easy to copy on a handheld transceiver and a quarter-wave whip. Use 25 kHz channel spacing, if available.
Free ISS software is available to download. Pass predictions are available from AMSAT. Representative images from prior ISS SSTV events are available in the ARISS SSTV Gallery.
WRC-2 preparatory work for Agenda Item 9.1b continued July 5 - 13 in ITU-R Working Party 4C (WP4C), with a focus on coexistence between the 23-centimeter amateur allocation (1240 - 1300 MHz) and satellite-navigation systems. IARU member representatives from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Japan, Norway, the UK, and the US participated in the meeting and delivered additional information on amateur activities in this key microwave band.
This Agenda Item is relevant to ITU Region 1 (Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and northern Asia), where one channel of the Galileo GPS system in the Radio Navigation Satellite Services (RNSS) received interference from amateur radio.
Preliminary studies from France were based on the ongoing CEPT (European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations) effort to provide initial estimates of separation distances required between Galileo receivers and a sample of amateur emissions. The European Commission Galileo team provided a set of observations pertaining to an RNSS interference event in northern Italy.
"The IARU is working to ensure the amateur services are realistically represented in the studies as they move forward," said Barry Lewis, G4SJH, of the IARU. "It remains vital that national amateur communities present their views on the importance of this band to their national regulators in a consolidated and consistent manner. The work will continue throughout the year and beyond both in ITU-R and in the regional telecommunications organizations, and the IARU is committed to ensure every group hears the amateur position on this important microwave band."
More information is on the IARU page. -- Thanks to the IARU and Barry Lewis, G4SJH

WL2XUP is an FCC Part 5 Experimental station operated by Lin Holcomb, NI4Y, in Georgia. It's licensed to operate with up to 400 W effective radiated power (ERP) between 40.660 MHz to 40.700 MHz.
John Desmond, EI7GL, reports that as of mid-July, WL2XUP was intermittently transmitting on Weak-Signal Propagation Reporter (WSPR) on 40.662 MHz (1500 Hz) for 2 minutes out of every 10, with an output power of 20 W ERP into an omnidirectional antenna. For FT8 check-ins and tests, an ERP of 100 W may be used. The band is affected by several propagation modes, including tropospheric ducting, sporadic E, transequatorial propagation (TEP), and F2 propagation. As Desmond notes, the 40 MHz band will open a lot earlier than 50 MHz and could be a useful resource for stations monitoring the transatlantic path.
A 2019 Petition for Rulemaking (RM-11843) asked the FCC to create a new 8-meter amateur radio allocation on a secondary basis. The Petition suggests the new band could be centered on an industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) segment somewhere between 40.51 and 40.70 MHz. The spectrum between 40 and 41 MHz is currently allocated to the federal government and, as such, within the purview of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
ARRL member Michelle Bradley, KU3N, of Maryland, filed the petition on behalf of REC Networks, which she founded and described in the Petition as "a leading advocate for a citizen's access to spectrum," including amateur radio spectrum.
Prominent Summits on the Air (SOTA) activator Tom Read, M1EYP, has begun a gig as a musician on board the cruise ship Spirit of Adventure. He's taken a small transceiver and a compact loop antenna and, with the skipper's enthusiastic approval, will be on the air until mid-November from the vicinity of the UK and Ireland, the Baltic, the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, and the Canary Islands on 40 - 10 meters, CW, SSB, and FT4/FT8.

A voice on morning radio for generations of Vermonters, Ernie Farrar, W1EF, died on July 7. He was 78. Farrar, of St. Albans City, Vermont, began his radio career in his hometown in the 1960s, before jumping to WVMT in Burlington in 1967, where he remained until 2018. Farrar's other career was in boxing, as the longtime director of the Vermont Golden Gloves Tournament. He was a member of the Vermont Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame. -- Thanks to New England Radio Watch
Zorro Miyazawa, JH1AJT, has been named to the GADX Hall of Fame, which recognizes radio amateurs "who have made major contributions to the ham radio community at large, mainly for DX and contesting."
A cofounder of the ARRL RTTY Roundup, Hal Blegen, K7IRA, died on July 27. He was 77. Blegen created the RRU with Jay Townsend, WS7I. He was described as "a force to be reckoned with in RTTY contests back in the day."

The Missouri First Capitol State Historic Site in St. Charles will host an amateur radio event on August 10, in association with this year's celebration of the Missouri State Bicentennial. The original capitol building on the west bank of the Missouri River served as the state's capitol from 1821 to 1826. The site is part of the St. Charles Historic District in the city's Riverfront neighborhood and is adjacent to Frontier Park, from which Lewis and Clark launched their Corps of Discovery Expedition in August 1803.
Members of the St. Charles Amateur Radio Club (SCARC) will use the special event call sign K0B at the site of the First Capitol on August 10. The First Capitol site also qualifies for the Parks on the Air program (POTA) with the identifier K-3349. Additional POTA-style activations from both the First Capitol site and from the adjacent Frontier Park are listed as "possible" on other dates, depending on weather and operator availability.
K0B will be active on SSB, CW, and FT8 on 80 - 6 meters, as well as on 2-meter FM. K0B will also be active from the annual SCARC hamfest and flea market in O'Fallon on August 8 and from SCARC member stations at various times on August 7 - 15. An operating schedule will be posted on the SCARC Facebook page.
Contacts will be uploaded to Logbook of The World (LoTW). A paper QSL and a downloadable PDF certificate will be available.
Members of the Mid-MO Amateur Radio Club will use the special event call sign W0M August 7 - 10, and other Missouri clubs may also be active to commemorate the bicentennial.
The Missouri QSO Party on July 31 - August 1 will also feature special call signs and the activation of rare counties. Typically, the event is held in April.
The Daily DX Editor Bernie McClenny, W3UR, has offered a suggestion for calling DX while using FT8. He advises that FT8 users avoid the "Generated Std Msgs (TX 1)" field when attempting to call DX on FT8. "You can turn it off by double clicking on it," he said. "When the band opens up, serious DXers want to get in and get out as quickly as possible. We don't know how long the opening will last, [and] the DX station does not care about your grid locator. You want to get your call sign and report to the DX station as quickly as possible, so you don't miss the opening. When you are calling a DX station, set the FT8 software to go to message 2 (e.g., TZ4AM KZ3ZZZ -14). Then you want to get the "RR73." That is all you need for a valid contact. During contests where the grid locator is needed, by all means, send it."
A Michigan club is considering establishing a common email address for members lacking internet access. Big Rapids Area Amateur Radio Club (BRA-ARC) in Michigan is hoping to establish a common email address so that members lacking a valid email address may receive messages. The impetus for this was the recent FCC requirement that all licensees have an email address on file. "One of our members is in a nursing home, and...we are her family," said the club's secretary, Bruce Werner, WB8TVD. "One of our board members suggested club-sponsored personal email, which is forwarded, similar to what is offered by ARRL." Werner said the club is planning to work out something to accommodate members who have no, or limited, internet access. As ARRL VEC Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM, notes, the FCC simply requires a valid and current email address where the licensee can receive electronic correspondence. She told Werner, "The good news is that it doesn't matter whose email address is used, as long as the FCC can reach the licensee." The box would be periodically checked by a club officer, who would contact the member personally.
Swiss radio amateurs are facing a fee to use the QO-100 Satellite. In what might be a first, Switzerland's telecommunications regulator OFCOM is charging the equivalent of $76.25 to issue special permits to radio amateurs to use the QO-100 (Es'hail-2) amateur satellite transponders. According to a post on the website for the USKA -- Switzerland's IARU member-society -- the regulator wishes to protect license-exempt users in the 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band, and OFCOM reserves the right to withdraw the special permit if problems arise. The special permit entitles the holder to use a transmitter with a maximum output of 100 W PEP for a satellite uplink in the 2400 - 2410 MHz band. As part of their application, radio amateurs must provide coordinates, antenna gain in dBi, antenna height above ground, antenna direction, and a telephone number where the radio amateur can be reached while operating, in addition to the usual name and call sign information.

A 12th-century church in Flamstead has received a donation to help save its leaking roof and valuable wall paintings.
The Beds and Herts Churches Trust and the Harpenden Freemasons Lodge chipped in to help protect the medieval church, with the Lodge also directly giving money to the Trust on behalf of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Hertfordshire to support other heritage churches in the area.
St Leonard's fundraising coordinator Andrew Lambourne said: "We've committed to raise £250K of matched funding as part of our bid to Heritage Lottery for this million-pound project. Local people have been really generous, but the support of local organisations is a huge encouragement, and is very gratefully received.

AMES, Ia. — After a 2-4 start to the season, Iowa State men's basketball coach Steve Prohm has discovered plenty of things on his team still needs to improve. But one thing stands out more than the others.
Turnovers.
"That's probably my biggest concern right now," Prohm said following Iowa State's 60-45 victory over Jackson State at Hilton Coliseum on Sunday.
Turnovers have been a glaring problem for Iowa State this season and one of the reasons why the Cyclones have struggled out of the gate. It was even a major issue in their win Sunday that snapped a four-game losing streak.
Despite the win, Iowa State turned it over 19 times. It's a big reason why Jackson State, despite shooting just 24.1% (14-for-48) from the field, was able to stay within striking distance of Iowa State most of the day.
"Just too many unforced turnovers," Prohm said. "Guys just trying to make plays that aren't there."
It's already become a major theme for the Cyclones this season and why they dropped four games in a row and began Big 12 Conference play with an 0-2 record. Turnovers have been coming at a rapid rate for Iowa State. The Cyclones already entered Sunday's game ranked ninth among the 10 Big 12 teams in turnover margin and assist/turnover ratio. The numbers didn't get any better with Sunday's performance.
But the most shocking thing is they are two areas that Iowa State has typically prided itself on with former point guards Monte Morris and Tyrese Haliburton running the offense. But those two are now in the NBA.
And with a new roster full of fresh faces, Iowa State has struggled mightily keeping the basketball. The problem has actually gotten worse, with the Cyclones tallying a combined 40 turnovers in the last two games.
"We're usually a program that's one of the top in the country in assist to turnover and under 10 turnovers a game, and now we're nearing 20 the last couple of games," Prohm said. "That obviously has been a frustrating thing. We want to play four guards and play fast, but you've got to be able to handle it and make decisions to keep good spacing and right now we're not doing it. So, we've got to keep working at it."
PREVIOUSLY: What we learned in Iowa State's win over Jackson State
Iowa State's lack of ball movement may be the biggest issue. Prohm said it's been "sticking" a lot instead of moving around and allowing others to make plays. Iowa State's roster full of newcomers playing together for the first time and without a limited pre-season due to the COVID-19 pandemic may be a big reason why they've struggled to move the ball, Prohm said.
"It's a lot of new guys playing in a system and trying to understand that hey, the spacing concepts and the ball movements and how important that is," Prohm said. "We do get jammed up a lot from that point."
Iowa State guard Jalen Coleman-Lands said there are reasons for optimism. He said Iowa State players have already improved on their communication and most of the turnovers, he believes, stems from minor miscues like simply bobbling passes. Coleman-Lands said watching film and getting more experience together will help those high rising numbers eventually go down.
"It's in our power and that's the reassuring thing," Coleman-Lands said. "But we've just got to actually put it into effect."
Cutting down on Iowa State's turnovers won't fix all of Iowa State's issues. The Cyclones still have plenty of other issues on defense and with their offense. But fixing the turnover problems plaguing them so far this season will be a good start.
"We've got to keep working at it," Prohm said.

A post shared by Dubai Muscle Show (@dubaimuscleshow) on Nov 11, 2019 at 6:04am PST
Corporate Sports Championship 2020: The ultimate sport experience is back
Abu Dhabi Schools Champions returns following winter break
With world-wide acclaim, it's a show that has developed exponentially in its four years of existence.
Starting off in 2016 with a predominant bodybuilding focus, the show now encompasses everything from strongman to MMA, yoga to pole, crossfit to bodybuilding, and a whole lot more.
Back in 2016, organisers didn't know just how popular the show would be. Taking place at the Dubai International Marine Club, it was deluged by visitors – which made logistics on the weekend tricky but showed the incredible desire and opportunity for such an event.
Craig Hartley, marketing director at HBG Events, and one of the main organisers of the Muscle Show explains.
"The beauty of that venue was it has the nice outdoors part and we thought it was just about the right size for the show," he said. "We obviously didn't expect the appeal to be so great and the numbers of people who came to the event. As a result the roads were blocked, people were queuing for hours to get into the event, some of the athletes arrived hours late and it caused all sorts of issues.
"It was a big first event for us and we wanted to make a big impact. There had been a few similar event that hadn't really worked out so it was big for us to get that initial success.
Dubai Muscle Show isn't all about bodybuilding! Comment below which other sports you are going to check out at the event! . Make sure you take time to watch some of the strongest men and women in the Middle East at Middle East's Strongest Man and Woman with @emiratesstrength . . Watch some amazing amateur fights in the @tndubai cage!! . Watch the WORLD FINALS of @battleofthebars by @world_calisthenics_org and @gravitydxb . Check out @dubaipolecup with some of the best Pole athletes from around the world!!
"We had to move into somewhere bigger the following year and the obvious place was the World Trade Centre. That venue is set up for events and the kind of footfall we will get at the show."
Despite a couple of early teething problems, one thing that stood out was the ability to attract huge names. First on the list was eight-time Mr Olympia Ronnie Coleman. He headed an incredible line-up that included Jay Cutler, Sergi Constance, Lazar Angelov and a host more.
This year sees that trend continue. Reigning Mr Olympia Brandon Curry will be attending with other past winners including Phil Heath, Dorian Yates and Coleman.
However, those bodybuilding-heavy days are gone with a much more rounded show, as Hartley explains.
"We always wanted to have much more of a fitness show and not just a bodybuilding show," he says. "The strategy is always to enhance what we have, and then diversify to cater for the different markets to reflect how complicated and sophisticated the fitness industry is becoming. We want to make sure the event is inclusive for everyone."
This is no-better demonstrated in the huge expansion of the show in 2018 to include the Dubai Active Show. This year it returns again, with big names such as Kayla Itsines and Kelsey Wells, but also offers the fitness arena, functional and cycle studios where visitors can get hands on – and sweaty. 25,000 people are expected to attend, where they will also be able to get nutritional and training information and take part in back-to-back yoga classes.
@tndubai will be running FREE introductory and advanced seminars for MMA, kick-boxing, boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu across all 3 days of @dubaimuscleshow 2019 . Check out the full schedule by visiting our website - www.dubaimuscleshow.com, then go to the What's Happening section where you can find all the combat sports and other sports happening at the show! . Stay tuned for a big special guest announcement very soon! . #dubaimuscleshow #dubaifitness #teamnogueiradubai #teamnogueira #dubaiboxing #dubaimma #mma #muaythai #bjj #uaebjj #dubaibjj #dubaikickboxing
There is no shortage of high-level competition taking place at the event too. On top of the bodybuilding stage, you can also see the Middle East's Strongest Man and Women crowned in an event organised by Emirates Strength. There will be combat sports inside a cage, the Emirates Weightlifting Championships will take place, and for the first time we will see the Dubai Women's Fitness Show. The Crossfit Goldrush also returns, as does the Dubai Pole Cup, and in a landmark move – a world champion will be crowned when the Battle of the Bars takes place.
"For me, I go to the event every year and I come away determined to train as hard as I can for the next few months. I generally go into it having not exercised as much as I'd want to and I see everyone there, engage with the brands, see the competitions happening and feel like I have a whole new motivation to go to the gym and train. I think that is one of the key things for the event – to try and inspire people to exercise and be healthy but not just bodybuilders and strongmen but all types of people from fitness enthusiast to beginners," said Hartley.
The Dubai Muscle Show takes place at the World Trade Centre from December 5-7, with the Business Summit kicking things off on December 5, and the Muscle Show and Active Show on from 6-7.

Franklin Delgado - ArtPrize Artist - An open art contest based in Grand Rapids Michigan, the world's largest Art Prize.
I was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. I now reside in Augusta GA. I earned my Master's degree in painting at The Savannah College of Art and Design. While making this work my first child was being formed in my wife's womb. I realized then how the sublime encounter of life itself, evolving day by day, spoke to my very process of drawing and painting. This unraveling experience led me to re-evaluate the way I live and to deeply consider my way of thinking about the immensity of existence. My works are homages to love and the grandeur created with minute particles of matter both in life and art. The medium, graphite powder, is a ground material of the smallest size, filled with a tremendous capability to ignite. This portrait is that fire. Subtle details wedded with time have created form in my work. These are portraits of individuals who are made in the image of the Divine, who with love has gifted life.
These are Franklin's official ArtPrize entries from this year and past years.


Your Child Deserves a Healthy Smile!
We treat your child with the gentle care they need to enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles!
Children can be very nervous when they first come to the dental office. At Sinick Family Dental, we take the scariness out of coming to the dentist.
When you arrive at our office, you will be greeted by our friendly staff. Our doctors and the rest of the team will take the time to get to know your little ones and make them feel at home. Most children are afraid because of the unknown quality of the dentist, but we know that once children get to know us, they are much less likely to be afraid. We will explain everything to your child so that they feel completely comfortable with us and the work we do.
We see children of every age. We take the time to get to know your child, and we will offer suggestions for you and them. A large part of caring for children is providing them with education. Once they know how to brush and floss their teeth on their own, your life will be easier, too!
We encourage you to bring your little ones with you to your appointments so they can get to see what a visit to the dentist is like. On your child's first visit, we will gradually introduce them to all the different noises they will hear. Depending on how old they are, we may start with simply brushing their teeth.
If your child does need a specific treatment, we will take the time to explain everything to them and make them feel as comfortable as they can be. We strive to be a painless dental office, and we go to great lengths to make this a reality for our adult patients as well as the children we have the privilege of seeing.
In each treatment room, we have flat screen televisions with DirecTV. Your child will be able to pick their favorite television show during their appointment. This will help them remain calm and enjoy coming to see the dentist. We also have headphones your child can use to help block out the noise of their visit.
We know that taking care of your children's health is a high priority. The team at Sinick Family Dental is here to help make it a little easier.
If you have any questions about your child's dental health, we would love for you to call us. Our convenient early morning and evening hours make it easy for you to get in for before- or after-school appointments.
We would love a chance to get to know you and your family. Please call us today at (330) 587-9292 to schedule an appointment.
Could Your Child Benefit from Dental Sealants and Supplemental Fluoride?
Do you know what the most common chronic illness is among children? Would you be surprised to learn that it's dental caries or cavities?
Do you have dental anxiety? Can you trace it back to a negative experience with a dentist as a child?
There's an increasing awareness that oral health is closely linked to our overall health and well-being. It's as much about your quality of life as it is a problem-free smile.

DIVUS BERLIN: SIMON BARKER (SIX): PUNK'S DEAD | exhibition
SIMON BARKER (SIX): PUNK'S DEAD | exhibition
DIVUS BERLIN | en cs de
Michael Bracewell about Punk's Dead
Simon Barker's photographs from this period are a rare and intimate account of punk's ability to mint newness. They are also in their way classic portraits of youth – adventures close to home, and the cool stillness of seeming to live beyond the end of history.
Punk's Dead exhibition is celebrating the photographic work of Simon Barker (aka Six) in autumn post-transitional Berlin on the 24 October 2014. After Prague and London we can see this history groundbreaking show in Germany.
This will be a unique opportunity to see for the first time Barker's work capturing London's early punk scene. Barker is a photographer and artist who was a member of the 'Bromley Contingent' from 1976 to 1977. This series of previously unseen images has the power to transport you back to the very beginning of the punk movement and allows us to meet its seminal protagonists such as Jordan, Siouxsie Sioux, Poly Styrene and Ari Up.
Barker's remarkably candid photographs show the founders of punk in their bedrooms and kitchens, and at forgotten private parties where they were experimenting with the extremes of dress and style that later became synonymous with punk – but at this time was still restricted to the creative use of their grandmothers' wardrobes. Barker's unassuming lens perfectly captures the spirit of the moment, before the twin forces of media and commerce inevitably sunk their claws into the heart of punk's style and latent politics.
Exhibited alongside Punk's Dead will be Simon Barker's historic photographic sequence TEA. This shows Romanian tyrant Nicolae Ceauşescu, who was always greedy for royal treatment, hanging out with our Queen in the royal carriage during the 1977 Jubilee celebrations. Today we are witnessing a perverse repetition of this travesty, with crowned monsters recently invited to celebrate HM's diamond jubilee at a lunch in Windsor Castle. It's uncanny that the Romanian zombie King Michael, freshly found mumified somewhere in a swamp, appears next to her in the official photograph alongside a pleathora of global fairytale figures with blood on their hands – Monarchal Tyranny's Not Dead.
Also available at the show will be Barker's recently published photographic book Punk's Dead. This book is an exclusive historical and cultural document featuring an extended selection from Barker's previously unpublished punk archive, as well as author's introduction followed by notes from witnesses of the scene, and newly commissioned short essays by Michael Bracewell and Peter Tatchell amongst others.

Why political intellectuals, do you incline towards the proletariat? In commiseration for what?

My Career in Poetry or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Institution
An American poet was invited to the White House in order to read his controversial plagiarized poetry. All tricked out and ready to do it his way, he comes to the "scandalous" realization that nothing bothers anyone anymore, and instead of banging your head against the wall it is better to build you own walls or at least little fences.

Behavioral Science Facts That Also Make Great Writing Prompts
by roxannaelden
Who says science can't be poetic? Here are some science facts that would make great starting points for a story or poem. I recently used these as prompts in a writing workshop whose theme was Using Behavioral Science to Build Better Scenes and Characters. Below, you'll find the citations for the original studies, as well as sources that describe these studies in ways that are accessible to non-scientists.
Creative writing prompt: Pick one of the following sentences and make it the first line of a story or poem
The desire for revenge is a physical craving.
I originally learned this from a book called We Need to Talk: How to Have Better Conversations, by Celeste Headlee. In a chapter making the case for apologies, she describes the work of Michael McCollough, who runs the Evolution and Human Behavior Laboratory at the University of Miami and who says that the brain scan of someone who has just been harmed or insulted looks similar to "the brain of somebody who is thirsty and is just about to get a drink or somebody who's hungry who's about to get a piece of chocolate to eat. . . . It is literally a craving."
Michael McCullough, "Getting Revenge and Forgiveness," interview by Krista Tippett, On Being, May 24, 2012
Laughter is a social bonding activity.
You can learn more in the "Laughter" episode of the Here We Are Podcast, a great podcast in which standup comic Shane Mauss interviews behavioral scientists. In this episode, he's talking to Greg Bryant, assistant communications professor at UCLA, who studies – among other things – the vocal elements that make laughter contagious.
Bryant, Greg. "Shared laughter in conversation as coalition signaling." XXI BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HUMAN ETHOLOGY VIENNA/AUSTRIA. 2012.
Bryant, Gregory A., and C. Athena Aktipis. "The animal nature of spontaneous human laughter." Evolution and Human Behavior 35.4 (2014): 327-335.
"Justice may be blind, but she's sure sensitive to her stomach gurgling."
This is a quote from the book Behave: The Biology of Humans at Our Best and Worst. In a chapter on metaphor, he explains that "'hungering for fame and fortune' are just metaphors, but our brain activates the circuitry that goes along with real hunger. When people are physically hungry, they become less generous in many ways, including this one, with huge real-world applications: Judges are more likely to grant parole if they've just eaten lunch. "In a study of more than 1,100 judicial rulings, prisoners were granted parole at about a 60 percent rate when judges had recently eaten, and at essentially a 0 percent rate just before judges ate (note also the overall decline over the course of a tiring day)."
Briers et al., "Hungry for Money: The Desire for Caloric Resources Increases the Desire for Financial Resources and Vice Versa," Psych Sci 17 (2006)
What we're feeling inside can be hard to separate from what we're feeling outside
These examples are also from Robert Sapolsky's book, Behave. In one example, when a resume was attached to a heavy clipboard, evaluators were more likely to describe the job applicant as serious, able to appreciate the gravity of a situation and deal with weighty matters, rather than being a lightweight. In another example, holding either a cup of hot coffee or iced coffee while interacting with someone made volunteers more likely to rate that person as having a warm or cold personality.

The Police come to Room 8!!
Happy New Year everyone! We can't believe it's 2015 already and we are well on our way into Term 3. :) Already this term has been very exciting and filled with different learning experiences. We started our Science topic straight away this term and investigated and learned all about magnets. We were able to design and take part in an exciting experiment to discover which materials were magnetic and which were not. We then used this learning to create our own Magnet Games! Miss Lochhead was super impressed with the creativity and difficulty of the games! Well done P3b! :) We have also had World of Work Week in the school where we heard from lots of different professions and job roles. We loved hearing from Sean's mum and the Police Officers as well as everyone else! Miss Lochhead was very impressed with the ambition that the children in P3b have! Some of us want to be Police officers, Teachers, Doctors, own their own Pet Shop and many more! Miss Lochhead believes in you all! Go for your dreams! :D As if it couldn't get any better, we have started our next AMAZING topic! The Vikings!! We got a very random video message from Eric who is stuck in the Vikings times and needs our help. We have been researching information for him on our iPads and laptops using our Class OneNote! This tool is amazing and we just love using it. Miss Lochhead has been blogging about it to the Microsoft community and they are all so impressed with what we can do at 7 years old! :D We look forward to sharing our learning with you throughout the topic by logging into GLOW and looking at the children's OneNote page and also at our open evening!

The TaxPayers' Alliance (TPA) today renews its call for the Government to abandon its proposed Sugar Tax, as new research reveals that it is unlikely to have any discernible impact on calorie intake.
The TPA examined the impact of the similar tax on sugar-sweetened beverages in Mexico, which is cited as a roaring success by Sugar Tax campaigners. But the truth is, the reduction in consumption resulting from this tax in Mexico was described as "nothing compared to the drop in calories people needed to consume in order to not be obese".
The fact that the tax in Mexico raised more revenue than expected shows that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages did not fall as predicted. This in turn demonstrates that the move is about using consumers as a cash cow rather than improving their health. And so, as with any regressive tax, the poorest families will have been hit the hardest.
"It is astonishing that the government is pressing ahead with this pernicious tax when the evidence clearly suggests that it will simply not affect consumption in any meaningful way.
"As with any regressive tax, this will only raise living costs for hard-pressed families, already struggling with big tax bills. Politicians must look at the evidence and ignore the High Priests of the Nanny State in the public health lobby, and abolish the Sugar Tax before it is too late."
