Seventy Years On, Boakye-Gyan Is Still a Mighty Fool

I actually meant "a bloody fool" in the caption of this article. A Veritable "Nkwaseafohene" he is. You know who am talking about. That ill-bred and half-educated troglodyte. It is amusingly shocking that this backwoods woodpecker continues to desperately attempt to make himself relevant by scandalously linking himself to the universally discredited Rawlings-led Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC). Makes me sick to my craw. But, of course, we all know that this inferiority-complex bathed buffoon is unlikely to get anywhere with his oafish display of macho-arrogance and clinical stupidity in a million years.
Well, for those of our readers who are too young to know or remember, Maj. Boakye-Gyan – his surname is sometimes spelt "Djan" – was one of the reprobate AFRC mercenaries who took a handsome payola of $100,000 (One-Hundred-Thousand Dollars) apiece from the Limann-led People's National Party (PNP), while the rest of us were shown the highway to the bloody Trokosi Nationalist Revolution of the so-called Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC) that brought us the infamous Rawlings Necklace. That is how much Nkwaseafohene Boakye-Gyan is worth. One-Hundred-Thousand Dollars!
Indeed, but for the epic struggle of the likes of Nana Akufo-Addo (Paapa Kumaa, Happy Birthday!), Mr. J. H. Mensah, Prof. Albert Adu-Boahen, Mr. R. R. Amponsah, Mr. Modesto Apaloo and Mr. William "Paa Wille" Ofori-Atta, among a legion of other illustrious sons and daughters of postcolonial Ghana, Boakye-Gyan would still be hiding somewhere on the European sub-continent mighty broke and logging in ungodly hours as a night watchman. That is how irredeemably hopeless that SOB is. There was even a time when this bumpkin was on the hit-list of Capt. Kojo Tsikata and Flt.-Lt. Jerry John Rawlings. If he had any sense of shame or self-respect, this barely articulate rustic denizen would not have so facilely opted to become the water-boy of the half-Scottish waif he so relishes associating himself with.
I am also quite certain that Chairman Rawlings has nothing but thoroughgoing contempt for this jaded political stand-up comedian. This is a man who shot his way to promotion from an army captain. He gives the Ghana Armed Forces such a revolting name. He would later claim that his promotion conferral had been in the works long before the scandalous mutiny that afforded him the notoriety he shamelessly sports in the specious guise of eminence today was planned and staged. Legend has it that the dastardly decision to summarily execute the likes of Generals A. A. Afrifa, I. K. Acheampong and F. W. K. Akuffo by firing squad was the brainchild of Owudifo Boakye-Gyan.
Some thirty-seven years later, I bet Maj. Boakye-Gyan cannot point to a single creditable thing that made his idiotic participation in the Trokosi-minted AFRC faux-revolution worthwhile. And now, here comes this godforsaken SOB huffing about the National Democratic Congress' being capable of mobilizing more than enough militia forces to outmatch the security operatives of the systematically harried and criminally persecuted Akufo-Addo-led main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) fist-for-fist (See "NDC Can Mobilize Militant Groups Against NPP in an Hour – Boakye-Gyan" Topfmonline.com / Ghanaweb.com 3/29/16). I could easily have predicted even long before he opened his porcine buccal cesspool of a cavity that Maj. Boakye-Gyan would not be manly enough to discuss the widely alleged and flagrantly illegal military training exercises that some key operatives of the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress are known to be covertly supervising at Asutsuare for the Azorka Boys.
I also don't know why this congenital imbecile thinks that Capt. Tsikata and Flt.-Lt. Rawlings are the bravest and best personnel that ever got recruited into the Ghana Armed Forces. Maybe he needs to read more about the history and professional development of the Ghana Armed Forces. But guess what, this irredeemable "'Kwaadonto" now calls himself "Osahene" (Chief Warrior). Let him tell us in which manly battle or real war he so distinguished himself, or the real status of the grass-cutter-muck-eating petty chieftain who awarded him such a grossly oversized traditional Akan military title. This bloody fool who so heretically presumes to rank himself among the revered class of the seminal movers and shakers of postcolonial Ghana.
Like it or not, the decision by the leaders of the New Patriotic Party never to, once again, allow themselves and their supporters and sympathizers to be taken for granted by pathological thieves and thugs like Nkwaseafohene Boakye-Gyan continues relentlessly. And there is absolutely nothing that mercenary poltroons like Mr. Boakye-Gyan can do about it. The man who could not even confront and collar Chairman Rawlings over the brutal murder of his own brother, Mr. Kyeremeh-Gyan, would now have us believe that he is, somehow, manly enough to wage a sustained siege against the 27 million disgruntled Ghanaians held hostage by the Mahama-led government of the National Democratic Congress. What a joke!

Strong, effective ratio laws are a critical factor in helping to mitigate the effects of the nursing shortage. California, which adopted the first ratio law in the U.S., and Victoria, Australia, offer two good case studies.
ing ratio law, from 246,068 as of June 30, 1999 to 332,043 as of January 31, 2008. (Board of Registered Nursing data) Since the ratio law was signed, the number of actively licensed RNs has grown by an average of more than 10,000 a year, compared to under 3,000 a year prior to the law. (BRN data). At the time the law was passed, the BRN was predicting the annual increase would be just 2,000 a year in the coming years. Vacancies for RNs at Sacramento area hospitals have plummeted 69% since early 2004 when the ratios were first implemented. (Sacramento Business Journal, January 11, 2008) Throughout the state many of California's biggest hospital systems have seen their turnover and vacancy rates fall below 5%, far below the national average. The ratios have helped fuel a dramatic growth in student interest in nursing. California nursing programs have expanded greatly in the years since the ratio law was enacted, as the profession has become more attractive, and due to the successful lobbying of CNA/NNOC for increased funding. In the last six years, the number of RN graduates has jumped by 45%, and the number of nursing programs has grown by 20 (2005-2006 Annual School Report, Board of Registered Nursing). The increase in the number of actively licensed RNs in California was almost seven times more than the total number state health officials said would be needed for the ratios for general medical/surgical units. A sharp reversal in the trend of RNs entering and leaving California. Big gains in the number of new graduate and foreign trained applicants who take and pass the RN exam and become new licensees each year in California. A 60% increase in RN applications in the years following enactment of the law.
"We had 10 months of experience with the (improved) ratios and there seems to be no negative impact on the healthcare system. Our data shows that hospitals have been able to meet the lower ratios," Sabrina Demayo Lockhart, spokeswoman, (California) Health and Human Services Agency -- Los Angeles Times, November 12, 2005, after the Schwarzenegger administration dropped efforts, encouraged by the hospital industry, to overturn parts of the ratio law. Victoria, Australia Victoria, Australia, which adopted nurse-to-patient ratios in 2000, experienced a 24.1% increase in the number of employed nurses with ratios.

Lexus' High-End Hybrid: the LS 600h L
The way forward is here
Collin Dunn collin_dunn
Calling it the "exclamation point" of the the brand, Lexus has unveiled their latest hybrid flagship: the LS 600h L. It's the hybrid version of the recently-introduced LS 460 (and big brother to the GS 450h), and is going to pack a punch: it combines a new 5.0-liter gasoline direct-injection V8 engine with large, high-output electric motors and a newly-designed battery pack to deliver a whopping 430 horsepower. The 600h is expected to earn a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) rating; by comparison, the LS 460 (the conventional counterpart) will have a smaller engine (4.6 liter V8), less horsepower (380) and a lower emissions rating (ULEV II), yet will have lower fuel efficiency (mpg in the low 20s). Ergo, Lexus is positioning the 600h as delivering the power and performance of a larger 12-cylinder engine with best-in-class V8 fuel efficiency. While the "power hybrid" approach hasn't paid off for Honda's Accord hybrid so far, we suspect Lexus is targeting a wholly different market with the 600h; we'll have to wait until April 2007 to see what dividends it pays. via ::Green Car Congress

What Is an Estafa Case?
An estafa case is one in which a single party intentionally defrauds another party, with the necessary requirement that the former party suffers an injury. It is a term exclusive to the legal system of the Philippines.
In an estafa case, the second requirement is not relegated to physical injury alone. If the party loses money or property, an estafa case can be brought against the perpetrator in a court of law. The rules apply even if physical goods are not lost, but the victim is owed goods or money. The three specific designations for estafa cases include disloyalty or abuse of confidence, estafa through fraud, and estafa through false pretenses.

If you must know, there are a lot of plastic surgeon that you will find offline and online and they are not all equal. Are you planning of having some cosmetic procedure done? Then you have to make sure that the doctor is board certified. You must make sure that the certification is being issued by the American Board of Surgery. Having the certification, it only means that the doctor has gone through schooling and tests and highly qualified to complete different procedures on you. When a doctor is board certified, you will know it because he or she is very active with the practice but still you have to be very careful.
There are many signals that will tell you that the doctor is not board certified and one of them is he or she is offering cheap prices for the procedure. When it comes to price, it is very important to every customer and if the price is cheap, then it will surely ask yourself why. For a doctor they often charge $5,000 for a procedure to be done and do not ever have the procedure done at the office for you to save money. You have to understand that when a procedure have discounts, there is also a possibility that you will be unhappy with the result. It is important that you compare prices and for a board certified plastic surgeon, they often have the same general price range. Another important thing that you have to check is the payment plans. Payment plans vary from different offices that is why you have to check each of them.
When looking for board certified plastic surgeon it is also important that you feel comfortable working with the doctor. It is important that you meet tee doctor in person when conducting the procedure. Before the procedure is to be done, it is important that you have to meet the board certified plastic surgeon. During the consultation, you need to ask questions and also be able to get the answers. Knowing and meeting the board certified plastic surgeon personally, you will be able to feel comfortable and know the methods as well as how they work. The board certified plastic surgeon should be able to explain to you what are the procedures as well as what you will expect after the surgery. Board certified plastic surgeon should be able to provide its client an honest opinion as it will also help in the decision making of their clients if they want to proceed with the procedure or not. Do you feel uncomfortable or unsure about the procedure then do not ever do it.


3D WebGIS systems have been mentioned in the literature almost since the beginning of the graphical web era in the late 1990s. The potential use of 3D WebGIS is linked to a wide range of scientific and application domains, such as planning, controlling, tracking or simulation in crisis management, military mission planning, urban information systems, energy facilities or cultural heritage management, just to name a few. Nevertheless, many applications or research prototypes entitled as 3D WebGIS or similar are mainly about 3D visualization of GIS data or the visualization of analysis results, rather than about performing the 3D analysis itself online. A recently published research paper aims to step forward into the direction of web-based 3D geospatial analysis. It describes how to overcome speed and memory restrictions in web-based data management by adapting optimization strategies, developed earlier for web-based 3D visualization. These are applied in a holistic way in the context of a fully 3D line-of-sight computation over several layers with split (tiled) and unsplit (static) data sources. Different optimization approaches are combined and evaluated to enable an efficient client side analysis and a real 3D WebGIS functionality using new web technologies such as HTML5 and WebGL.
To ensure comparable test conditions, an artificial dataset has been created, simulating a LiDAR derived Digital Terrain Model. Further, an evaluation framework was set up to measure performance and memory consumption during four different test scenarios. The results show that the applied approach with its holistic view onWebGIS usage and its two levels of optimization (layer-level and tile-level) lead to greatly improved performance, while the streaming and partitioned way of processing of the data leads to an independence between memory consumption and the length of the line-of-sight as well as the resolution of input data, thus showing that the approach is scalable, which is important, especially in web-based environments.

We live in a time where many people are much more likely to grab their phone before grabbing their computers. We travel everywhere with a tiny computer in our back pocket that has all the same power of the internet on a small, compact, and portable little screen. That is, until we arrive at your website (or can't find your website at all). Here comes the frustration. We can't find what we're looking for, when we finally do find it we can't click on it, etc. etc. etc.
Folks spend a huge chunk of their marketing budget on revamping their website and then eagerly await the rush of new business. Instead they get crickets. Oftentimes the lack of activity is due to a very simple and easily remedied mistake: The website has no obvious Call-to-Action.
Vine definitely isn't a social media website like Facebook or Twitter -it's an app. However, more and more people are diving in and using apps to create marketing campaigns that they can then turn around and promote across their more conventional social media platforms.
You have no doubt read that social media marketing is the best thing since sliced bread. So you dedicated a significant amount of time to posting content or a significant amount of money for someone else to post. Now you're wondering: Is any of this working?

BC Métis Assembly of Natural Resources Letter to ...
BC Métis Assembly of Natural Resources Letter to MNBC
The following letter was sent to the MNBC by Mark Carlson, Kootenay Regional Captain and Chair, BCMANR Captains Assembly
MNBC Presidents,
Hello all, after the weekend BCMANR had a conference call Tuesday evening May 15th/2012 to fill in the Captains that were not allowed at the Enbridge meeting on what went on. In attendance: Mark Carlson (Chair, Kootenay Captain), Rob Humpherville (Vancouver Island Captain), Gary Biggar (Lower Mainland Captain), Marlene Beattie (Okanagan Captain), Rene Lucier (North West Capt), Kim Hodgson (Previous Minister & Consultation Project Team member), Bruce Dumont (President MNBC).
This letter is to inform all the Presidents of MNBC of BCMANR's total lack of support for the Enbridge Deal being signed by our President Bruce Dumont. While we do not think the deal is a very good one that is not the main reason for our concern. Our Consultation Guideline Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on Feb. 25th 2009 at 18:56 pm. BCMANR has had little to no involvement (not invited to MNGA, late invite to Enbridge meeting). MNBC has not followed our own Policies. The Métis Consultation Project Team did not even come close to fulfilling their mandate. Why was this process bypassed, essentially by-passing BCMANR and the Métis Chartered Communities directly impacted? The MTK interviews that have been done but have not been processed and a proper Traditional Land-Use Study Report have not been completed, we do not even know the impacts on our rights, yet we are supporting and signing documents? The Board and the MNBC staff are hiding behind the guise that this is not a consultation deal but instead a commercial venture, if that is the case why isn't Enbridge doing these types of deals with other non-aboriginal groups or organizations? Because, it has a responsibility to deal with aboriginal peoples due to the Taku/Haida Guaii and Mikesew Cree SCC decisions around the Duty to Consult and ACCOMMODATE. This is a smoke and screen tactic to chase money and by-pass the laws that the Métis people in BC empowered via the MNBC Natural Resource Act Article 11. The Northern Gateway Pipeline is a major project that will affect multiple Regions and Communities and our own Consultation Guidelines are quite clear on who can approve them. Here is an excerpt that applies to this situation:
3.6.1.4 Métis Nation Governing Assembly The Métis Nation Governing Assembly (MNGA) can be used for approval authority on medium to largescale projects that affect multiple MNBC regions and/or Métis Chartered Communities. In addition, high profile projects that have multiple potential impacts with long-term implications will also fall to this level of approval authority. This institution consists of the MNBC Board of Directors and all MNBC Métis Chartered Community Presidents or Vice- Presidents (if the President cannot attend). Seventy-five percent of this body must vote in favour to approve any document that is presented. The approval will be recorded as an official motion and documented in the MNGA minutes.
3.6.1.5 MNBC Annual General Meeting The MNBC Annual General Meeting can be used for approval authority on large-scale projects that affect multiple MNBC regions and/or Métis Chartered Communities. In addition, high profile projects that have multiple potential impacts with long-term implications will also fall to this level of approval authority. This is the highest and most complex level of approval authority that MNBC can implement. This institution consists of the MNBC Board of Directors, two Métis Community delegates from each of the MNBC Métis Chartered Communities and any other Métis citizens that choose to attend the event. Usually there are over 500 Métis citizens in attendance of this annual event. The approval (50% +1) will be recorded as an official motion and documented in the MNBC Annual General Meeting minutes.
President Dumont informed BCMANR on our conference call that he didn't feel there was a need for a vote of the MNGA on this as it was a commercial venture and will be proceeding on his own with just the direction he received at the Enbridge meeting. Another note, where were the Métis experts that were requested at the 2011 AGM, it was a one sided presentation. MNA had a review done by Métis lawyer Jason Madden who claimed that the deal was a "toothless tiger". BCMANR will always be open to meaningful consultation and will engage with Enbridge or any other proponents if we are called to deal with as long as it is done according to our laws and guidelines. However, in BCMANR's opinion, President Dumont and this agreement have been done illegally according to the laws of the MNBC. The decision should be brought forward by the MCPT and presented to the MNGA or AGM, which is the law.

When I talked about a "writeable waveform [of] fixed length" I'm thinking of in particular: 936 element waveforms used to configure the behaviour of the individual bunches in our storage ring.  In this particular case I want to support arbitrary caputs into the waveform (I might be configuring current to inject into individual bunches or TMBF gain or some other parameter) ... but I can't allow the observed length of the waveform to change!  Thus in this particular case I interpret a "short" caput as just overwriting the first elements of the array, and leaving NORD==NELM==936 in all cases.
As for "nobody has paid attention to NORD" I confess that to be an egregious exaggeration; however I fear there is an element of truth in it.  This issue has arisen because a colleague has been bitten by the change from .11 to .12.
> specific record type, but other record types also provide array fields.
I've got a bit of a language problem here because I have three concepts to communicate with two words: CA array types, waveform record types, and Python numpy arrays; the latter are what cothread uses to represent the former.  You're right, mostly I'm just thinking CA array when I'm saying waveform.
> > using cothread to perform caget() or camonitor() on a waveform?
> I think you should stick with this meaning.
On reflection I now agree.
> scalar, and the count field to set the actual length of the array.
Yes.  I'm slightly uneasy that this might be a compatibility breaking change, but I think it's going to be the right behaviour.  In particular it means that (so long as you know the record type) you know what data type you're going to get back.
> field IIRC), which is a really bad idea.
I seem to remember some old camera support code that used to do that here, and which used to work with our systems ... until it broke!  Probably EPICS 3.13, don't remember the details anymore.

The Ballad of John Edwards and Andrew Young
Pareene
Filed to: Bromance
rielle hunter
elizabeth edwards
Just what is Politico getting at with this 2,300 word piece on the incredibly close relationship between John Edwards and aide Andrew Young? Hmm? With all this talk of Young's "intensely emotional" "passion" for the dirtbag former candidate?
Here is what they are getting at: Andrew Young was gay for John Edwards. Oh, god, he was so, so gay for John Edwards. Wow! Like, from the first paragraph onward:
When John Edwards returned to North Carolina in the course of his long quest for the presidency, Andrew Young always met him at the airport in Edwards's big black Chevy Tahoe. Young drove, and Edwards rode shotgun, silently raising his left hand whenever he wanted a Diet Coke, which Young would wordlessly supply.
Just a bro, out on a road trip, wordlessly providing another bro with some Diet Cokes. In paragraph two, Young is folding Edwards' dry cleaning.
What was Young's job description again?
Young sometimes described himself as Edwards's "special assistant" and dreamed of serving in an Edwards White House. Other aides, with a combination of disgust - and, perhaps, a bit of envy - referred to him as Edwards's "personal servant," or worse, Edwards's "butt boy."
Yes, well, we're beyond insinuation now, aren't we.
Here are some more sentences:
Starting soon after Edwards was elected to the Senate in 1998, staffers began describing Young as intensely 'jealous' of others who were close to the senator.
"It's not enough to say that he idolized the guy - there's something deeper and weirder than that."
Oh, and Elizabeth Edwards, what say you?
"In months of talking with [John Edwards], I have come to understand his liaison with this woman, if I have, not as a substitute for me. It was more like his relationship with a former staff member," she wrote. She described an "obsessed" and "overbearing" young volunteer who "volunteered for everything, making himself indispensable," taking care of cars and dry cleaning - an unmistakable portrait, people close to her say, of Young.
This is not even halfway through this article, yet. As it goes on, we learn that Edwards did not reciprocate the passion, so much, but he was happy to "talk about sports" with Young, and even happier to allow Young to claim paternity of Rielle Hunter's child, forcing Hunter to move in with Young's family(!) and then they all had to move the West Coast for a while and then they went back to Chapel Hill. And John stopped taking Young's calls, and then Elizabeth started leaving nasty blog comments about him and leaving messages on Young's wife's voicemail demanding that Young reassert his paternity.
Oh, and then there is this:
And Young, with all the fury of a spurned lover, may be holding out yet another threat to his old idol, if it comes to that: an explicit videotape, two people who have seen it said, of Edwards and Hunter together.
Hah. Yes. Ok. Wheee! What a fucked-up bunch of people.
Someone give Ben Smith and Politico five thousand Pulitzers for this important investigative report into John Edwards' Waylon Smithers.

Cosmetic dentistry is any of a variety of procedures that enhance the appearance and the health of your smile. It can renew your outlook, fill you with confidence and restore you physically and emotionally. What can a cosmetic dentist do for you?
Transform dull, stained teeth to bright, eye-catching smiles.
Replace outdated, harmful mercury fillings that can actually cause damage.
Reshape teeth that are crooked, gapped, uneven or overlapping with natural-looking veneers.
A healthy and beautiful smile will give you a new confidence that you can benefit from every day of the year. Even a little change can make a big difference. While aesthetics are very important to us at Smile Makers Dental Center, we strive to address any underlying factors that are causing cosmetic dental concerns. Fixing the root of the problem ensures the long-term success of the treatment and the best results for the patient.
Almost everyone has part of their smile that they would like to change, whether the issue is crooked teeth, an obtrusive gum line, or yellowing of the teeth. Cosmetic dentistry can address each of these problems and more with customized treatments that improve the overall aesthetics of a person's smile.
If you are unhappy with any element of your smile, Smile Makers Dental Center can provide dedicated cosmetic care through one of three offices serving Tysons, Falls Church, Fairfax and the surrounding communities. Read on to learn exactly what cosmetic dental care can do for your smile.
While the primary goal of cosmetic dentistry is to improve the appearance of a patient's smile, many cosmetic dental procedures will improve the health of the teeth and gums as well. Additionally, cosmetic dental care can boost your confidence and give you a younger appearance that you will want to show off.
Tooth Whitening– Nearly anyone can benefit from tooth whitening because daily habits can cause teeth to become stained or dull in color. Our whitening techniques include Zoom! In-office whitening, take-home whitening kits, and whitening toothpaste, so you have a wide array of options to fit into your lifestyle.
Crowns – Teeth that have been damaged by cracks, chips, and cavities may be treated with crowns, which are tooth-shaped caps that cover the teeth. Crowns are custom fitted to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth for natural-looking results. We use zirconia instead of traditional metal for the base of the crown. A porcelain-covered zirconia crown is more translucent and resembles your natural teeth.
Veneers – Veneers are ultra-thin porcelain caps that are placed on teeth that have been prepared with the excavation of a thin layer of tooth enamel. Lumineers and E.max veneers are also available and require less tooth preparation. Once bonded to the surfaces of the teeth, veneers can correct issues such as crowding and gaps between the teeth.
Gum Recontouring – Issues such as a toothy smile or lengthy gum line can be easily corrected with laser-assisted gum recontouring, which is a much less invasive alternative to grafting procedures.
Your smile is as unique as you are. Therefore, we take great care in designing a smile that personally suits you. A series of careful facial measurements will help us to create a smile that is in proportion to your bone structure, age and gender.
Thanks to advances in computer technology, we are also able to show you an image of your new smile before you even begin the procedure. Through digital imaging software, we can manipulate a digital photograph of your existing smile and show you your redesigned smile. This is an excellent way to share your excitement with friends and family.
What technologies do you use in cosmetic dentistry?
Modern technology is an integral part of cosmetic dentistry. The use of intro-oral cameras, for example, allows us to see your teeth magnified on a high-resolution monitor, resulting in better diagnosis and more conservative treatment. Digital x-rays dramatically reduce your exposure to radiation and give us crystal clear pictures of your teeth. Our digital imaging technology allows us to show you your new smile before you even start treatment. And our computers in each treatment room allow us immediate access to your files and health history, making sure your treatment is followed closely.
What kind of quality can I expect for my new smile?
We want you to be thrilled with the final result of your new smile. For that to happen, Dr. Kallas is continually investing in advanced education, technology and materials. He also ensures a beautiful end result by working with the finest dental labs, specially trained in creating cosmetic restorations that mimic nature. These labs charge a premium for their skills that many general dentists won't invest in. Rest assured that only the finest quality materials will be used to create your smile.
Porcelain veneers are thin sheets of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They are an ideal choice for improving your smile and have become increasingly popular due to their simplicity and versatility. When bonded to the teeth, the ultra-thin porcelain veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea or even cigarette stains. For strength and appearance, their resemblance to healthy, white tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.
How can you replace my missing teeth?
Bridges and dental implants can replace one tooth or several missing teeth with ease. Replacing missing teeth can add self-confidence and also allows remaining healthy teeth to last longer by reducing the stress placed on them.
The aesthetic framing of the gum tissue is as important to the teeth as a quality frame is to an artist's painting. Contouring is basically a simple gum lift but makes a tremendous difference to one's smile. The use of a laser and a topical anesthetic quickly reshapes the gum line creating an even more beautiful smile!
What can be done if l have stained or discolored teeth?
Many people achieve a whiter, brighter smile with our one-hour whitening procedure! It's safe, quick and inexpensive. You can whiten your upper or lower teeth or your entire smile.
The days of silver-mercury fillings are now nearly obsolete. Our practice uses no silver mercury and will be happy to assist you in replacing older, failing amalgam restorations. Today's porcelain inlays and composite resins create fillings that are not only natural looking but also stronger than materials of the past.
A little change in your smile can make a big change in your appearance. We offer cosmetic dental treatments that are quick, painless, and affordable. Our team of doctors has unique training and experience in cosmetic dentistry, specializing in minimally-invasive procedures for beautiful results.

NYC. Recap & favourite Instagrams. May 2015 – Day 1-5 – Big Cities. Bright Lights.
On Saturday – my first full day in NYC – I walked around SoHo, Little Italy, Nolita and the Lower East Side and visited the Hester Street Fair and later on the block party at the new Whitney Museum in the Meatpacking District. After a walk along the High Line I took the subway over to Queens and visited the LIC Flea & Food. I picked up some food and a lemonade (from Lizzmonade – so good!) and walked over to the nearby Gantry Plaza State Park which is one of my favourite places in New York.
On Sunday i walked over to Father Demo Square and bought a bagel at Bagels on the Square which I discovered during my last trip and then sat in Washington Square Park listening to the piano man for quite a while.
On Monday I walked around the East Village for a while and had a yummy breakfast at Wafels & Dinges. I got really sunny and hot that day so I walked over to SoHo to buy me some new sandals since I didn't bring any.
After lunch on the rooftop garden I picked up my suitcase and moved to Brooklyn. I had stayed in the area twice before and it felt really good to be back in "my old neighborhood" of Crown Heights and Prospect Heights.
Later on I visited Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan and the 9/11 memorial. I had been to the memorial before; in 2012 when you still needed a ticket to access the memorial. And even though it's so nice that there is no ticket needed anymore, no more control of bags and stuff and everyone can just visit as they please: the memorial somehow a meeting point for people who love selfies and their slefiesticks and that left me with an icky feeling. I had made plans to visit the 9/11 museum but the lines were so long (free admission on Tuesday afternoons), so I decided to come back another time when it is less crowded.

Nearly all land animal species could lose part of habitat by 2050

Land is constantly being cleared to meet the . With current diets, nearly 90 per cent of land animals could lose some of their habitat by 2050. However, reducing food waste, changing the way we eat and increasing yields could prevent almost all of the projected loss.
Habitat making way for agriculture is a huge threat to species far and wide. Existing projections estimate that we will need between 2 and 10 million square kilometres of new farmland to meet food demand in the next 30 years – all at the expense of natural areas.
David Williams at the University of Leeds, UK, and his colleagues have developed a model based on current trajectories which shows how will affect the natural habitats of nearly 20,000 terrestrial mammals, amphibians and birds.
They identified that over 17,000 species will lose some of their habitat by 2050, with over 1250 species losing 25 per cent and at least 350 species projected to lose more than half.
Worst affected were sub-Saharan Africa and the Atlantic rainforest of Brazil, but losses affected every continent.
"We need to produce a huge amount of food over the coming decades," says Williams. As the population grows and people get richer, they eat more environmentally costly food – particularly . "Fundamentally, you need to put a lot of calories into a cow to get a calorie of cow to eat," he says. This will require a huge amount of land to be cleared for growing livestock feed as well as for food crops.
The researchers also tested a series of alternate futures and found that almost all habitat loss could be avoided if we change our eating habits.
Reducing and transitioning to a more plant-based diet, particularly in more economically developed countries, can prevent this habitat loss. We could also direct agriculture away from countries where biodiversity is likely to be badly affected, protecting those species which are less tolerant of food production, says team member Michael Clark at the University of Oxford.
Changing dietary habits and reducing food waste will not only support , but will also combat climate change and improve people's health, says Andrew Balmford at the University of Cambridge.

57,000-year-old mummified wolf pup discovered in Canadian permafrost


I'd like to share one of our favorite [tag]basketball layup drills[/tag]. It is a quick offensive [tag]basketball drill[/tag] that I use for my 13/14 year old boys basketball team.
In an effort to maximize vertical leap on layups, we set up 2 folding chairs facing each other about 3 feet apart right near the low block.
We then place a broom stick across the 2 seats.
The last step of the [tag]basketball[/tag] drill for this layup has to be a jump over the stick on the way up for the shot.
We do this for right handed layups and then for left handed layups.
For an added challenge, we then place the chairs back to back about 3 feet apart. Next we place the broomstick on top of the backs of the chairs for extra height. We also do this one for both right and left handed layups.
You will be surprised how many kids are able to do this even though at first they don't think they can. It is also a lot of fun for the players and it helps their jumping.
