Mason Greenwood stepped off the bench to score the winning goal, as Manchester United made it three wins from three on Tour 2019 with a confident 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in Singapore.
The 17-year-old Academy youngster scored his first goal in senior football against Leeds United in midweek and followed it up with another strike, which displayed his devastating finishing ability.
Although the scoreline suggests it was a closely contested match in the International Champions Cup, in truth, the Reds were dominant from start to finish and could have scored many more goals against the Italians.
It was an excellent performance, filled with potential, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will surely feel pleased by the progress of a squad that is clearly growing in fitness, sharpness and confidence.
The only sour notes were a couple of second-half injuries, after Victor Lindelof and lively substitute Tahith Chong were forced off with knocks. An assessment will be made on the pair in due course.
United's attention will now turn to the third leg of Tour 2019 in China, where the Reds will face Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in Shanghai next Saturday - live on MUTV.

Several puzzle/platformers have seen release on Xbox Live Arcade: Cloning Clyde, Eets: Chowdown, Exit, etc. All of them exhibited intriguing elements of style and cleverness, but none of them managed to present a cohesive whole that compelled playtime. The genre nevertheless continued to attract me, and I cultivated the hope that a quality example of the species would eventually present itself. But in no way, shape or form did I anticipate the masterpiece that is Braid.
Braid is presented as an unassuming retro platformer, sporting overt homage to classics such as Super Mario Bros. and Elevator Action. You dash around scaling ladders, hitting switches, collecting puzzle pieces, and jumping on enemies' heads in order to rescue an abducted princess. Borrowing further from Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, the protagonist has the ability to rewind time, completely negating the need for mad twitch platforming skills.
This is where the gameplay shines. Not only is the time manipulation employed to erase misjudged jumps, it's the fundamental mechanic that drives the puzzles in every stage. Discussing their specifics would spoil them, but Braid's temporal conundrums are every bit the equal of the spatial enigmas from last year's cherished gem, Portal. These are the infuriating, seemingly insoluble puzzles that defy your feeble intellect until the solution suddenly crystallizes itself in your mind like the illumination of a light bulb. These are frustrating "WTF THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE" situations that yield intensely satisfying "OMG DUH I FIGURED IT OUT" moments of epiphany. The sense of achievement upon solving one of these intractable problems is immense. A few present themselves as tricky timing or jumping sequences; it's possible to power through these with gamer dexterity, but there is always an ingeniously simple alternative that requires no leetness whatsoever.
Not only are Braid's puzzles deviously elegant in their conception and execution, each stage features evolving mechanics that build upon previous levels, unlike the one trick ponies of other games in this genre. Progression feels fresh and uniquely challenging throughout the entirety of the game, as opposed to a rehash of a few repetitive solution types. If you play only the demo and think you've seen what the game has to offer, you're dead wrong and doing yourself a disservice.
In addition to exchanging Portal's three-dimensional physics based gameplay for side-scrolling time based puzzles, Braid swaps the playful humor for a wistful, melancholy tone. The hand drawn visuals are evocative of a bygone painterly era, which may be difficult to digest for gamers weaned on the digital age. The main protagonist, in particular, is unattractive - but you'll have to trust me that there's a legitimate story reason for this aesthetic design. Braid's narrative is an abstractly poetic journey that dances around themes of regret and forgiveness, only to climax with a CRUSHER of a twist ending that demands an emotional response. As far as videogame revelations go, it's up there with BioShock's "Would you kindly...?"
Numerous gamers are also balking at Braid's price point. At 1200 Microsoft Points ($15), it's fifty percent more than most Xbox Live Arcade offerings. If the demo even remotely pleases you, do not hesitate to pull the trigger. I can't stress enough that Braid is 2008's Portal, and to walk away from a game this exceptional over a measly fiver is a mistake. We've all paid much more for far less. Even Portal will set you back $20 on Steam. It's true that Braid is a fairly short game with little replay value, but it definitely bestows more value than the typical movie ticket and a bag of stale popcorn.
Braid is the first downloadable game I've awarded an S Rank, which immediately places it in contention for Game of the Year. It delivers an artistically fulfilling experience that could only be presented through the medium of videogames. As ridiculous as this may sound, Braid conveys the motivational underpinnings and emotional impact of otherwise trite videogame archetypes: the impassioned hero, and the imprisoned princess. The truth belying these themes are a riddle to be unraveled, even as you tackle some of the most imaginative puzzles ever devised.

At the end of a dazzling road, on the far east coast of Crete, lies the small village of Kato Zakros in a fertile valley with olive groves. It has a beautiful little tranquil beach, crystal clear water and some very nice tavernas.
The perfect place for a combination of tranquility, relaxing, walking and exploring a Minoan settlement.
Because it's remote, it is not crowded, and especially outside of the high season, you really get an 'end of the world' feeling here. Really worth a visit on it's own, or as part of a day trip.
The ancient Minoan settlement of Kato Zakros is the 4th largest palace of the Minoan civilization in Crete. The palace was built in 1900BC and received an expansion in 1700BC. It was more than 8 acres in size and enclosed approximately 180 housings. It was destroyed in 1450BC, along with the rest of the Minoan civilization. Ancient Zakros was a living, fully-developed city. The protected harbor and location made it perfect for trading with the eastern civilizations. The archeological site is open from 10 til 15 or 17, depending on the season, and tickets cost 3 euros.
The Canyon of the Dead, which is part of the E4-path, begins just after Pano Zakros and ends at Kato Zakros. Inside the canyon caves can be found, where the ancient Zakrians used to bury their dead.
From Ierapetra, drive East towards Sitia. At Koutsouras the road turns inland. Then there are two options: Turn right at Vori, and pass the plain of Xandras and Ziros, and then the beautiful winding road to Xerokambos. From there drive to Zakros and then down to Kato Zakros. Or pass Vori and after that take the road to Sidali, pass Karydi and drive down to Zakros.
From Sitia you take the direction to the south coast and take the same road left to Zakros. Or you can take the long way, and pass Moni Toplou, Vai and Palekastro, and then Zakros.

I wish. They did something similar with Coh2 so maybe if we pester them about it they'll do it.
@dullahan well they can consider this my official vote for exodus mod balance. From my rounds of it, I think it's in a better place than the live game currently is.
Hello, last week King Art Games (or maybe shortly, KAG ) posted showing a new heavy unit for Saxony. Lastly we had shown a two artillery mechs for Polania and Saxony and now they showed a somekind of heavy tank with a reminscent of GDI's Mammoth Tank from CnC. Earlier they had showed a few buildings for Saxony. While not impressed, its still good to me to know that not all factions in Iron Harvest will have tents as buildings as Polania does since Saxony ones will be a industrial buildings.
As for new heavy unit, I think while looks very interesting, its legs, as I learned from some comments, might have problem with rotating and manuvering. Also its barrels are short so it might be a close quater combat unit. Interestingly, this unit comes also with somekind of rocket launchers, perhaps as a ability or default alongside its cannons. Anyways, I'm really curious how that unit will work once Alpha 2 hits.
If someone would like to give me a golden showel for posting on this thread, then go ahead.
Actually, I don't play CoH 2, so I'm not familiar with that game's community driven balance situation that I've seen mentioned in a few threads. What exactly is the situation with CoH 2 getting community-generated/influenced tweaks worked into its official build?
Not a expert of balance, but there are still some or even more complains about Coh 2's balance or things not fixed. But its just my opinion.
Maybe someone other could explain that better?
When the game is new its at its most appealing and people will enjoy the campaign or new style of gameplay and units. Give or take they will either take to the game or not and staying is a bit of longer shot for certain periods of time for example some people will stay for 1 week, to a couple of months to years depending or how much you liked the game.
Sadly this is not the case as numbers dwindle and people rage quit or people get a bad impression from small faults in the game or bad balance decisions early after release.
Unless new content and patches are made numbers will fall depending on depth of the game. Which can vary.
I am assuming they haven't give up fully on the game I expect them in given time to give us another project into the franchise but not so close to the release of dow3 so people can sink in what they had learn to improve on the product.
And I think most of both of Microsoft and relic are working on AOE4. They left so early after release of dow3 . I'm not sure of the extent of the reason but what read was they made design fault and did not what to continue with the continuation of the product.
Hello, I know that it is so sudden to a old thread, but I have a suprising news about Iron Harvest!
King Art Games, developer of this game, had finally announced a publisher they will partner it. And it will be a Deep Silver, publisher of the recent Metro Exodus.
I honestly, expected somehow that they might choose a publisher with mixed reputation, but well. Deep Silver was known for publishing a highly anticipated Metro Exodus, which gotted so much spicy response after it was announced as a Epic Games Store exclusive, right before a release, even if that exclusivity was timed for a year before it will hit other platforms. King Art Games announced however that they have a word with Deep Silver and they will keep a creative control and fullfill a promise to release Iron Harvest on Steam and Gog.
Still I might be concerned that Deep Silver might change their mind on distribution if Epic Games will pay millions for exclusivity again to get Iron Harvest on their store. If so, then I might skip this title until it will appear on Steam and GoG, but still sales might suffer if Iron Harvest will be a EGS exclusive at launch.
So, what are your opinions on other hand? Will King Art Games will fullfill their promises, and Deep Silver keep their word on that? Or the latter will decide otherwise?

Florence Falls was probably our favorite waterfall in Litchfield National Park.
What made this waterfall stand out to Julie and I was its multi-tiered multi-segmented shape with a crocodile-free swimming hole that was perfect for lingering about and cooling off.
In addition to its characteristics, we were able to enjoy the view of the falls from an overlook near its top as well as from its cool and shady base.
We weren't alone in our sentiments towards the falls because it was very popular as many other people were sharing the experience with us during our visit.
Florence Creek was said to tumble possibly 30-40m in total (though admittedly, I'm just guessing here).
The main drops were said to be about 20-25m tall.
The creek was rare in that it was said to be year-round so the falls themselves were also permanent.
According to the signs here, this was possible because the porous rocks of the tabletop plateaus here absorb Wet Season rains, then they percolate as springs during the Dry Season.
Plus, Florence Creek was isolated enough that there wasn't as much of a threat of saltwater and freshwater crocodiles.
That's why you see people swimming around the falls in the photos on this page whereas none of our photos for other waterfalls in Litchfield National Park had people swimming around them.
Our visit began with a short walk from the car park (see directions below) to a wheelchair-accessible overlook of the entire context of the falls and gorge (see photo at the top of this page).
There was an interpretive sign informing us of how the falls was year-round as well as some of the wildlife to be found here.
Then, we walked down a series of stairs hugging the tabletop plateau and going into the shady depths of the gorge.
I recalled that it didn't take long for us to make it to the bottom where we were right besides Florence Creek.
From there, we scrambled a short distance over rocks (keeping our feet dry) towards a frontal view of Florence Falls (which is shown in one of the photos below).
We very easily could've joined the dozens of other people cooling off from the tropical heat and going for a swim.
But Julie and I were merely content to just gaze at the falls and bask in the beauty of this place.
When we had our fill of the falls, it was all uphill on the stairs, and the total amount of time we spent away from the car was a little less than an hour, including all the hiking and picture taking.
A short drive east of Florence Falls was the intriguing Termite Mounds. That attraction was well signposted.
Now we had witnessed several termite mounds throughout much of Northern Australia, but for some reason, there was a very high concentration of them at this one spot.
Plus, some of the individual mounds were so big that they were easily three or four times taller than us.
Florence Falls resides in Litchfield National Park. It is administered by the Northern Territory Government. For information or inquiries about the area as well as current conditions, visit their website.
The turnoff to the car park is well-signed and on the north side (i.e. to the right as we were facing west) of the Litchfield Park Road (Hwy 30) some 41km (roughly 45 minutes drive) west of Batchelor and Rum Jungle. It sits just beyond the Buley Rockhole, which has its own series of pools and falls.
For context, Batchelor was 97km (over an hour drive) south of Darwin.

Эбль ( или ; умер не ранее 824) — франкский военачальник времён императора Людовика I Благочестивого.

Биография
Об Эбле сообщается в нескольких исторических источниках. Из них основные — «Анналы королевства франков» и «» Астронома. О связанных с Эблем событиях повествуется и в трудах некоторых средневековых испано-мусульманских авторов.

Во франкских анналах Эбль назывался «франком». Однако, что имелось ввиду — его этническая или государственная принадлежность — в текстах не уточнялось. На основании ономастических данных предполагается, что Эбль мог быть братом графа Шалона и Оверни Гверина I. В этом случае Эбль был франкского происхождения: .

Возможно, начиная с 819 года Эбль был одним из графов в герцогстве Васкония, входившем во владения короля Аквитании Пипина I.

В 824 году баски Памплоны в очередной раз восстали против франков. В ответ император Людовик I Благочестивый и король Аквитании Пипин I организовали поход против мятежников. Командующими франкской армией были назначены Эбль и Аснар, бывшие тогда государевыми посланцами в Васконском и Памплонском пагах (). В свою очередь глава восставших, правитель Наварры Иньиго Ариста, заключил союзы со своими близкими родственниками: графом Арагона Гарсией I Галиндесом и властителем Бану Каси Мусой II ибн Мусой. Не встречая сопротивления, франкская армия дошла до столицы владений восставшего Иньиго Аристы, Памплоны, и разорила город. Вероятно, этому успеху способствовало то, что после одного из предыдущих мятежей басков франки полностью разрушили городские стены. Посчитав, что на этом восстанию был положен конец, франки двинулись в обратный путь, проходивший через Ронсевальское ущелье. Однако здесь, как и ранее в 778 году, императорское войско подверглось нападению соединённого войска наваррцев, арагонцев и мавров. В произошедшем сражении франки потерпели полное поражение: большинство из них погибло, а их военачальники были взяты в плен. Согласно арабским источникам, главную роль в поражении императорского войска сыграла полная неожиданность для франков атаки басков и их союзников. По наваррской легенде, здесь же, на поле битвы, Иньиго Ариста и Гарсия I Галиндес были провозглашены своими воинами независимыми от Франкской империи правителями.

С пленёнными во «второй Ронсевальской битве» франкскими военачальниками поступили по-разному: имевший родственные связи () с басками Аснар был отпущен на свободу, а граф Эбль вместе с другими трофеями был отправлен в Кордову к эмиру Абд ар-Рахману II. О дальнейшей судьбе Эбля сведений не сохранилось. Возможно, он умер в плену.

Witness: Grant Waite Runner-up
Grant Waite
EVENT: Canadian Open, Glen Abbey Golf Club, Oakville, Ont.
DATE: Sept. 10
"I was trailing by a shot on the 18th tee. I drove it in the
fairway on that par-5, hit a five-iron to 25 feet and said to my
caddie, 'We've done our job. Now we'll see what he can do.'
Tiger was in the right fairway bunker, his ball on a downhill
lie. He's 218 yards from the green, and he's got to hit it over
trees, water and bunkers. He hits a six-iron, and the ball goes
right over the flagstick, lands on the green and trickles just
off, 18 feet from the hole. There's pandemonium. He becomes the
first guy since Lee Trevino in '71 to win the U.S. Open, the
British Open and the Canadian Open in the same year. Phenomenal
"But that's not what I remember best. The thing I remember best
is his tee shot on 18. As Tiger begins his backswing, there's not
a single sound, nothing stirring at all, total silence. Then,
right in the middle of his downswing, somebody yells, 'Tiger!' He
stops cold, like a freeze-frame in a photograph. The position he
stops in is absolutely perfect. How he can stop with that
clubhead going 125 miles an hour, I don't know. I can think of no
other golfer who can stop so close to the ball with a driver.
"People might say, 'He should be able to hit the ball, even if
there is a distraction. If his concentration is so great, he
should be able to block it out.' Just the opposite is true. He
was able to stop because he has the greatest concentration and
the greatest discipline. He's like a Zen master. He plays every
shot fully committed and without fear. He's not going to allow
anything--an opponent, a noise from the crowd, the difficulty of a
shot--to interfere with his effort to execute his shot, and he's
not going to execute the shot until the conditions in his head
are just as he wants them to be. That's the essence of golf. He
understands that better than anybody who plays."

Sri Lanka's ban on TRO 'final nail' in coffin of peace process
[TamilNet, Saturday, 24 November 2007, 01:10 GMT]
The Tamils Rehabilitation Organisations (TRO) has condemned the Sri Lankan government's banning of the charity, saying the Rajapakse regime had done so with the "ulterior motive of unleashing untold hardships on the Tamil people as part of [the government's] continuing discrimination and oppression of the Tamil people." The TRO, which has been the largest - and for long periods the sole - NGO assisting the hundreds of thousands of Tamils displaced by the conflict, said in a statement this week "With the banning of the TRO the final nail in the coffin of the peace process has been hammered home."
"It is a tragedy that the International Community, while ignoring the human rights abuses and violation of international humanitarian law by the GoSL, continues to dangle this 'dead peace', that the GoSL continues to show no interest in pursuing, before the Tamil people," the TRO said.
The charity said the ban was a culimination of a campaign of harassment and violence against the organization and its staff carried out by the Rajapakse regime.
Last year the Sri Lankan government froze the TRO's accounts. However, despite the move blocking the TRO's post-tsunami projects being carried out in parallel with international NGOs, "the GoSL never filed any charges against TRO or submitted any evidence to the public or court for cross-examination."
In January 2006 paramilitary groups, known to be working with and under the direction of the GoSL, abducted, raped, tortured and killed 7 TRO humanitarian workers, the TRO also pointed out.
Earlier this week analysts told international news agencies the GoSL's action was part of its military drive against the Liberation Tigers.
"The government is continuously closing the doors to negotiations and it is continuously closing whatever opening there is for negotiations," Jehan Perera, Executive Director at National Peace Council, commenting on the ban of the TRO, told Reuters.
The full text of the TRO statement, issued November 18, 2007, follows
Government of Sri Lanka banning of TRO
TRO condemns in the strongest possible terms the Government of Sri Lanka's (GoSL) banning of TRO. The banning of TRO will result in a further restriction on humanitarian relief to the Tamil people and has the ulterior motive of unleashing untold hardships on the Tamil people as part of the GoSL's continuing discrimination and oppression of the Tamil people.
Unfortunately, this ban, orchestrated by the Mahinda Rajapaksa regime, does not come as a surprise to the organization. The Mahinda regime, has, since coming to power in 2005, been trying to restrict, and eventually completely stop, all TRO humanitarian, reconstruction, and development programs in government controlled areas and have continually put obstacles in the way of TRO relief activities in other areas of the NorthEast.
ATTACKS ON TRO PERSONNEL & OFFICES
In January 2006 paramilitary groups, known to be working with and under the direction of the GoSL, abducted, raped, tortured and killed 7 TRO humanitarian workers. The evidence of these paramilitary groups' affiliation with and control by the Sri Lanka armed forces is irrefutable and TRO holds the GoSL responsible for these deaths.
Additionally, TRO offices in GoSL controlled areas have been attacked numerous times by paramilitary groups and persons in "military fatigues". The Jaffna and Batticaloa TRO Offices were ransacked and set afire and the vehicles and office equipment destroyed. A staff member was killed in the final attack on the Batticaloa Office. These events usually occurred during curfew times and within 100 yards of Sri Lanka Police and Army checkpoints. Sri Lanka Armed Forces and Police also intimidated and threatened TRO staff at the office and in their homes
FREEZING OF TRO SRI LANKA BANK ACCOUNTS
When these actions did not bear results and TRO continued, despite the threats and harassament, to function in GoSL areas and deliver vitally needed humanitarian relief and development, the GoSL froze the TRO bank accounts. TRO sought to challenge the basis on which these funds were frozen and petitioned the High Court in Colombo to review and "vary or vacate" its order to freeze the accounts. The court refused, finding that it did not have the jurisdiction to do so and that the GoSL had the right to freeze the funds indefinitely "for investigation".
TRO, on the advice of international organizations, our donors and partners, continued to pursue the case, seeking our "day in court" and the opportunity to prove our innocence of all charges. But the GoSL and the Sri Lankan judicial system are fundamentally corrupt without any concept of the notion of "justice". The "law" and "justice" in Sri Lanka are words without meaning, political expediency, corruption and influence peddling carry more weight with this regime and the effect is that political decisions are given the cloak of legitimacy.
The GoSL never filed any charges against TRO or submitted any evidence to the public or court for cross-examination or for TRO to have the opportunity to confront its accuser. Instead the GoSL dragged the case on for over 14 months. During this time the Mahinda regime continued threatening TRO staff in Colombo office, blocked funds from overseas meant to cover the legal costs and also pressured the owners of TRO Colombo office building not to rent to TRO.
PROJECTS STOPPED IN GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED AREAS
As a result of our bank accounts being frozen, our office documents and assets being confiscated by the GoSL security forces and our offices in GoSL controlled areas attacked and destroyed, TRO was forced in 2006 to close its offices in GoSL controlled areas of the NorthEast leaving projects unfinished and war and tsunami affected persons in dire need. Through all this TRO continued to seek redress in the courts to overturn the account freeze.
CFA & THE PEACE PROCESS
TRO was founded in 1985 and prior to 2002 TRO functioned effectively in the Vanni. It was only after the Cease Fire Agreement (CFA) signed between the GoSL and the LTTE in 2002 that TRO, at the urging of the international community and with the assistance and advice of international organizations, registered in Colombo as a charity/NGO (Number L 50706) under the Social Services Act.
During this period, TRO, as the largest NGO in the NorthEast, gave its full and unconditional support to peace efforts by creating confidence in the minds of the people that, after 20 years of war, the dawn of peace was at hand and by implementing development projects in collaboration with international organizations that promoted peace. TRO, due to the non-implementation of many of the promises made by the GoSL and the international community in the post-CFA period, was one of the few organizations actually delivering the "peace dividend" at the grassroots level. It is worthy to note that, for the most part, the peace dividend never materialized for the vast majority of those in the NorthEast due to the actions of the GoSL.
With the banning of the TRO the final nail in the coffin of the peace process has been hammered home. Today the pulse of the peace process has stopped and peace is a lifeless, dead body. It is a tragedy that the International Community, while ignoring the human rights abuses and violation of international humanitarian law by the GoSL, continues to dangle this "dead peace", that the GoSL continues to show no interest in pursuing, before the Tamil people.
FOCUS ON EMERGENCY RELIEF
Due to the GoSL actions against TRO and the return to war, TRO has been forced to move from the rehabilitation and development mode that characterized the 2002-2006 period, into a new conceptual space of emergency humanitarian relief and assistance to internally displaced war and tsunami affected persons. As in the period before 2002, TRO will engage in projects providing assistance to the war affected population utilizing our own funds. Now TRO will only need to be accountable and transparent to its beneficiaries, donors, and other stakeholders and it will not be necessary to get approval from the GoSL or be accountable to it.
MAHINDA'S REQUESTS
There are many reasons for the Mahinda regime to take this punitive step against TRO. Apart from the fact that we were an impediment to the Mahinda regime's agenda of genocide of the Tamil people, TRO also refused to be used by the Mahinda regime to achieve the regime's political ends. The regime approached TRO numerous times with requests that were outside the mandate of TRO and would have violated the essential principles of humanitarian action and the humanitarian community. These principles demand that humanitarian organizations must be neutral, impartial and independent.
MISSION CONTINUES
Though our organization is banned by the SL Government we assure you that our mission will continue in our homeland areas without interruption and we call on the international community and the Tamil Diaspora to continue to support TRO's work with war and tsunami affected persons.

Invisalign aligners are custom-made plastic trays that fit directly over your top and bottom teeth. A series of these aligners are designed at the beginning of your treatment. You'll wear each set for about 14 days before you move on to the next. When you eat or brush your teeth, you'll remove the aligners just long enough to accomplish these tasks. Over a period of months, the trays move your teeth into their target positions. Invisalign dentists use the product to correct an array of minor and moderate orthodontic problems without embarrassing, visible hardware.
Pricing Factors: How Much Will Invisalign Treatment Cost?
Many patients can obtain affordable Invisalign for about the same price as metal braces, but each case is unique. Pricing depends on the amount of orthodontic treatment you need and how long it will take to reposition your teeth. More complex dental conditions will increase Invisalign cost, but Invisalign insurance coverage can help reduce the overall expense. If you're worried about the cost of getting Invisalign in Flint, we may be able to help. Our experienced dentists can determine your final Invisalign cost after a careful evaluation, and our practice offers convenient financing to help you work Invisalign cost into your budget. Schedule an appointment today so that we can get started on your treatment plan.
How Long Does Correction with Invisalign Usually Take?
Invisalign treatment time is calculated after your dentist conducts a thorough examination and assesses your unique orthodontic needs. The amount of tooth movement and rotation required dictates the duration of the therapy. Most adult patients can finish their Invisalign aligner treatment within 10 months to one year. Complicated cases may require up to two years. Once your teeth are in their new positions, you'll need to wear Invisalign retainers to maintain your new smile.
How are Invisalign Dentists Different from Others?
An Invisalign dentist is an orthodontist or general dentist who has received advanced training in Invisalign dentistry and gained experience in using the system to correct orthodontic problems. To ensure that you get the best results and the fastest possible treatment time, let us connect you with our experienced Invisalign specialists.
Invisalign vs Braces: Does Invisalign Always Win?
When it comes down to Invisalign vs braces, it's important to choose the option that best meets your dental health and personal needs. For many patients, Invisalign can be just as effective as braces. It clearly provides the more aesthetically valuable solution, and it also allows you to manage your oral hygiene more easily, which can protect your future dental health. However, if your dentist determines that your condition is too far advanced or complicated for Invisalign, metal braces may be your best choice. Discuss your concerns with your dentist to help make the best decision for your lifestyle and budget.
Can Invisalign Correct Every Patient's Problems?
Not every patient will be able to receive Invisalign. Some dental conditions require correction with traditional braces. Dentists generally support using Invisalign for adults and teens, but children don't make good candidates because of their ongoing, rapid growth and complex orthodontic needs. The best way to determine if you're a good candidate for Invisalign is to schedule a visit to see one of our Invisalign dentists.
Can Invisalign Treatment Change Your Lifestyle?
Invisalign trays require consistent wear for the best results, but other than a few limitations such as not smoking or chewing gum, they generally don't affect your lifestyle.
Daily care is important to keep your Invisalign trays sanitary. Use the manufacturer's cleaning system as recommended, or brush your aligners and rinse them with lukewarm or cool water. Keep them away from hot water, and be sure to report to your dentist immediately if one of your trays become cracked, warped or otherwise damaged.
Repairing your smile can change your life, and we're here to match you to a great dentist who can help you get the smile of your dreams. Give us a call today to explore your options for getting Invisalign in Flint.

The Endocrine System[edit | edit source]
The endocrine system works via chemical messengers (hormones) that are secreted directly into the circulatory system to regulate target organ function. The feedback loop works to control the release of these hormones and maintain homeostasis i.e the state of steady conditions vital for life.[1]
The diagram on the right shows the glands of the endocrine system ( Pineal gland, Thalamus, Pituitary gland,Thyroid, Adrenal glands, Pancreas, Uterus,Ovaries, Testes).
Glands of the Endocrine System[edit | edit source]
Each gland of the endocrine system releases specific hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones travel through circulatory system to other cells and help to coordinate body processes.
Adrenal glands: Two glands that sit on top of the kidneys that release the hormone cortisol.
Hypothalamus: A part of the lower middle brain that tells the pituitary gland when to release hormones.
Ovaries: The female reproductive organs that release eggs and produce sex hormones.
Islet cells in the pancreas: Cells in the pancreas control the release of the hormones insulin and glucagon.
Parathyroid: Four tiny glands in the neck that play a role in bone development.
Pineal gland: A gland found near the center of the brain that may be linked to sleep patterns.
Pituitary gland: A gland found at the base of brain behind the sinuses. It is often called the "master gland" because it influences many other glands, especially the thyroid. Problems with the pituitary gland can affect bone growth, a woman's menstrual cycles, and the release of breast milk.
Testes: The male reproductive glands that produce sperm and sex hormones.
Thymus: A gland in the upper chest that helps develop the body's immune system early in life.
Thyroid: A butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck that controls metabolism.[2]
Endocrine Disorders[edit | edit source]
A malfunction in the endocrine systems (either the glands, hormones, receptors or organs impacted by hormones) can cause an endocrine disorder. The various dysfunctions can cause wide-ranging effects on the body. The disorders arise from the effects caused by too little or too much secretion of a hormone or problems with receiving the hormone.[3] A metabolic disorder occurs when an improper level of a hormone alters the body's metabolism and impacts its function (for example, diabetes).[4][5]
Causes of Endocrine Disorders[edit | edit source]
Endocrine disorders are typically grouped into two categories:
Endocrine disease that results when a gland produces too much or too little of an endocrine hormone, called a hormone imbalance.
Endocrine disease due to the development of lesions (such as nodules or tumors) in the endocrine system, which may or may not affect hormone levels.
In a body that is functioning at optimum capacity the endocrine's feedback system assists in controlling the balance of hormones in the bloodstream. The system can detect when a body has too much or too little of a certain hormone, the feedback system then sends signals to the appropriate gland(s) to regulate the discrepancy with a view of restoring homeostasis. If this equilibrium cannot be restored or maintained then a hormone imbalance may occur resulting and increase or decrease of hormone levels in the blood.
The most common causes of increased or decreased levels of endocrine hormones are:
A problem with the endocrine feedback system
Failure of a gland to stimulate another gland to release hormones (for example, a problem with the hypothalamus can disrupt hormone production in the pituitary gland)
A genetic disorder, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) or congenital hypothyroidism
Injury to an endocrine gland
Tumor of an endocrine gland - most endocrine tumors and nodules (lumps) are noncancerous. They usually do not spread to other parts of the body. However, a tumor or nodule on the gland may interfere with the gland's hormone production.[2]
Endocrine disorders with U.S. prevalence estimates of at least 5% in adults included diabetes mellitus, impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, obesity, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, osteopenia, mild-moderate hypovitaminosis D, erectile dysfunction, dyslipidemia, and thyroiditis. Erectile dysfunction and osteopenia/osteoporosis had the highest incidence in males and females, respectively. The least prevalent conditions, affecting less than 1% of the U.S. population, were diabetes mellitus in children and pituitary adenoma. Conditions with the lowest incidence were adrenocortical carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and pituitary adenomas. Certain disorders, such as hyperparathyroidism and thyroid disorders, were more common in females. As expected, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus was highest among ethnic minorities.[7]
Clinical Presentation[edit | edit source]
Due to the complex and interconnected nature of the endocrine system, a wide range of conditions with distinct clinical presentations, can result in endocrine disorders. including:
Addison's Disease
Paget's Disease
Estrogen dominance: changes in sleep patterns, changes in weight and appetite, higher perceived stress, slowed metabolism
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): infertility, weight gain, higher risk for diabetes, acne, abnormal hair growth
Low estrogen: low sex drive, reproductive problems, menstrual irregularity, changes in mood .
Low testosterone: erectile dysfunction, muscle loss, weight gain, fatigue, mood-related problems[8]
Endocrine Disruptors[edit | edit source]
Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with endocrine systems at certain doses. These disruptions can cause cancerous tumors, birth defects, and other developmental disorders. Any system in the body controlled by hormones can be derailed by hormone disruptors. Specifically, endocrine disruptors may be associated with the development of learning disabilities, severe attention deficit disorder, cognitive and brain development problems deformations of the body that includes breast cancer, prostate cancer, thyroid and other cancers; sexual development problems such as feminizing of males or masculinizing effects on females, etc.[9]
There are some 800 chemicals suspected as being capable of interfering with hormone receptors, synthesis, conversion or cell signalling during critical periods of cell and organ development. Some of these occur naturally, but many are synthetic and used in agriculture (growth promoters, pesticides and wetting agents), plasticizers, as flame-retardants in textiles, clothing and furnishings, non-stick coatings, food additives, electronics and cosmetics, personal care products and perfumes.[10]
Diagnostic Testing[edit | edit source]
Due to the wide range of symptoms and conditions diagnosis can sometimes be difficult and where available, a referral to an endocrinologist may be made. In most cases blood and urine analysis will be carried out to determine hormone levels. If a nodule or a tumor is suspected imaging tests may be done to help locate and/or confirm any abnormalities. Due to the complex nature of hormones and their interactions a change in one hormone level can have a detrimental impact on another, which can affect diagnosis and treatment.[1][9]
Management[edit | edit source]
Although management interventions and scope can vary depending on the type of disorder, physiotherapy can be beneficial for people with these conditions. Common goals are the management of pain to optimise function and mobility, patient education on the effects of the endocrine disorder on the body and how to maintain strength and fitness, energy conservation techniques and development of manageable and progressive exercise plans.[10][11][12].

'Heart of Darkness' is considered to be Joseph Conrad's major work in his philosophy. It is a novella, barely 100 pages long, and is set in the backdrop of a sailor's life (much like Conrad himself, and his other works).
The novella has three sections, with much of the things fast forwarded in between. The story is being narrated by a certain Mr. Marlow while sitting on a ship by the banks of the Thames. Mr. Marlow has been a sailor for most of his life, but a different one at that, for he had dared to explore the realms beyond the sea too, making him an adventurer of sorts. He narrates his experience of finding the most enchanting personality of his life, Mr. Kurtz, somewhere in the hearts of the unexplored darkness in Africa (allegedly Congo). The timeline of the story is of the colonial era (published in 1899), and Africa was being plundered for its ivory.
Mr. Kurtz is described as an enigma, a 'universal genius', who had been sending large amount of ivory from the hearts of this area to the base station while other station masters were floundering, when they were not dying, or turning senile from the hostile environment. The entire expedition is much for one purpose, that is of finding Mr. Kurtz; while for Marlow - to talk to this enigma is the purpose of this ordeal (not that he had not asked for it). Kurtz is the ever pervading background of everything in this plot, and yet, his active role is too little, at least, too little in description to give the reader a fair idea of his enigma. Marlow hates him, and then he doesn't. Marlow becomes loyal to Kurtz, even to the dead Kurtz, and there seems to be little reason in it other than that he sympathized with Kurtz and at the same time loathed the general white lot present with him, whom he refers to as the 'pilgrims', seekers of ivory.
Overall, the book deals with 'the heart of darkness' which, to me, appears to be the listlessness that can sometimes come to pervade our lives. Further, it deals with how most of us are lucky enough to not be confronted by it regularly, for the imbroglio of anxiety, fear, confusion, shortsightedness and shaky faith can wreak havoc on us and what might happen, if we embraced that struggle. We might become a Kurtz but not without paying the price, as Kurtz did with his life tossed away to sickness and disease. The book lays much emphasis on the necessity and power of faith, in at least something, as a guiding force and a source of strength in such moments. I've shared a few of these excerpts in the discussions post.
P.P.S.: The discussions which are more of excerpts from the book, framed into questions can be read here.


Two books of "gloom and doom" are found in the Old Testament: Job and Lamentations. The main body of both of these is a series of laments over tragedy. For Job, it was personal tragedy—rather, a whole series of them. For Jeremiah, who wrote Lamentations, it was national tragedy as he toured the ruins of what had been his beloved Jerusalem.
But in the middle of each book shines an outstanding expression of hope.
When gloom and doom loom on my horizon, Lord, let me see that silver lining and hope in You!

hours.7,36,37 Glycerol is absorbed rapidly, is distributed in extracellular water, and has poor ocular penetration (table 8.4). These properties enhance the osmotic effect of the drug.
Approximately 80% of glycerol metabolism occurs in the liver, while 10% to 20% occurs in the kidney.38 Because the majority of glycerol is metabolized by the liver, it has a greater margin of safety compared with mannitol in patients with decreased renal function. Glycerol is filtered and almost completely reabsorbed by the renal tubules until high serum levels are achieved; when serum carrying capacity is exceeded, glycerol appears in the urine and osmotic diuresis occurs. Both the metabolism and the reabsorption of glycerol attenuate the osmotic diuresis after ingestion of this drug. About 10% to 30% of glycerol is combined with free fatty acids to form triglyceride, while the majority is converted to glucose. Glycerol produces 4.34 cal/g when oxidized to carbon dioxide and water.38 Diabetic patients, therefore, may develop hyperglycemia and ketosis if treated with glycerol.
In addition to hyperglycemia, patients frequently experience nausea and vomiting following ingestion of glycerol. This is a problem in the therapy of acute glaucoma and an even greater disadvantage for perioperative use.

Isosorbide. is not commercially available at this time. After oral administration, isosorbide and glycerol are similar in their onset of action, time to maximal effect, and duration of effect.8,39,40 Although isosorbide is rapidly absorbed, it is distributed in total body water and penetrates the eye slowly. These properties may lessen the osmotic effect of the drug, especially in inflamed eyes. From 1 to 3 hours after oral administration of isosorbide, anterior chamber aqueous levels averaged 55% of plasma levels.8
More than 95% of the administered dose of isosorbide is excreted unchanged in the urine. Isosorbide produces no caloric load after ingestion because it is not metabolized, which is a major advantage when compared with glycerol for use in diabetic patients. Isosorbide is less likely than glycerol to produce nausea and

Alcohol also induces a hypotonic diuresis by inhibiting production of antidiuretic hormone, which tends to prolong and increase the osmotic gradient.
Ethyl alcohol is metabolized and, like glycerol, causes increased caloric load after ingestion' which may be particularly problematic for diabetic patients. The hypotonic diuresis may cause dehydration. Central nervous system side effects, nausea, and vomiting are well-known side effects that limit the short- and long-term use of the drug.
Although rarely used therapeutically, ethyl alcohol is readily available and can be used in an emergency situation when no other osmotic drug is available. Also, clinicians may be misled by IOP measurements that are temporarily lowered by alcohol. Peczon and Grant reminded us that ''the examiner would do well to be alert for the smell of alcohol on the patient's breath, since it is not uncommon for patients to seek courage from alcohol in preparation for examination.''12
Other oral osmotic drugs, including glycine, lactate, propylene glycol, and calcium chloride, have not been used widely for lowering IOP, usually because of adverse side effects.23

Movie review: 'Lion King' is more tragedy than triumph


We stayed in a deluxe room which was very comfortable and quiet. The wi-fi worked in the room although a bit slow. There are two pools and a nice garden area to sit/lie in. Breakfast was Ok but a bit bland, dinner was a buffet and normal for a holiday hotel. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The walk to the harbour where there are plenty of restaurants is about 20 minutes and taxis are cheap if you don't want to walk. Kyrenia is a pleasant town, less commercialised than in the south and there are several interesting places to visit either on your own or on a tour. Altogether Kyrenia + Pia Bella make for an enjoyable holiday.

Welcome relief for learner drivers as theory test certificates to be extended
Learner drivers will have their theory test certificates extended because of the coronavirus pandemic.
It will be a welcome relief for new learners who were worried about losing out due to the impact of Covid-19 on services.
This legislative change will come into effect in September 2020 and will be applied retrospectively. It will benefit over 1,300 people.
Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon today confirmed the news.
Test certificates which expire between March 1, 2020 and October 31, 2020 will be extended by eight months, and the validity of off-road motorcycle test pass certificates which expire between March 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020 will be extended by six months.
"My priority during this crisis is to keep people safe and to minimise disruption and inconvenience to our customers," said Ms Mallon.
"As many will be aware a number of DVA services have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Fortunately as we now look to recovery, the Department has been able to confirm that a number of services will now return.
"As previously announced, the DVA plans to reinstate some driver testing services in July for those licence categories where testing can be done safely in line with current PHA advice and guidance on social distancing requirements.
"The DVA has reinstated motorbike driving tests from 6 July and tests for drivers of buses, tractors and module 4 CPC tests for lorry, bus and coach drivers, are planned from 20 July. From 6th July driver theory tests have also been reintroduced, with safe social distancing in place.
"The DVA continues to work on proposals to safely resume practical driving tests for cars and lorries as soon as possible.
"While a date for the resumption of these services has not yet been confirmed, this legislative change is a step forward for drivers who have already passed their theory test and are keen to take their practical driving test. My Department continues to work at pace to find solutions to ensure the safe resumption of all services, working in partnership with staff and the unions.
"I will continue to keep the public updated during this changing and challenging time."

Woman Accused In Jubilee Days Accident Enters Pleas
Tracie Perkins
Tracie Perkins Published: December 9, 2014
Trevor T. Trujillo, Townsquare Media
The woman accused of drunkenly backing into and injuring multiple people during the Laramie Jubilee Days celebration appeared in Albany County Circuit Court today to make pleas on five misdemeanor counts.
Jennifer A. Finnerty, who prosecutors said is also known by the name Jennifer Rardin, pleaded No Contest for all charges before Circuit Court Judge Castor for her role in the accident that injured at least three people. Finnerty is charged with three counts of Misdemeanor Battery, one count of Driving While Under The Influence and one count of Reckless Driving. A sixth charge of No Liability Insurance was dropped after proof of insurance was provided.
Prosecuting attorney Kurt Britzius told Judge Castor that a blood test administered after the crash indicated Finnerty's Blood Alcohol Content to be .15, nearly twice the legal limit. He said that three people sustained minor injuries in the incident and were provided medical attention.
A victim's impact statement provided to the court requested nearly $500 in restitution for one of the victims.
Vaughn Neubauer, Finnerty's attorney, requested that sentencing be scheduled for a later date. Judge Castor agreed that time should be provided to ensure all restitution has been considered and for a possible substance abuse evaluation to be completed. Sentencing has been tentatively set for January 14, 2015 at 9 a.m. Sentencing may be moved to a sooner date.
DWUI is a misdemeanor which can be fined up to $750, six months in jail, or both on the first offense. Misdemeanor Battery is punishable of up to six months in jail, a $750 fine, or both. Reckless driving is also a misdemeanor which can result in the revocation of a driver's license for up to 90 days and fines not to exceed $750.

I am building a 1/5th scale DHC Beaver. The entire plane is skinned in 1/16 and 1/8 balsa. I was originally going to cover her with Solartex fabric but have since thought that glassing her using water based Poly Urethane might work well.
Does anyone have any advice on the idea and or point me in a direction or advice on how to fibreglass using water based Poly Urethane.
Any advice or direction would be helpful.
Here you are....Step by step instructions.
1. Sand the model with 220 grit and remove any highs/lows you may find.
Fill as needed with lightweight filler and sand.
the balsa from the water in the polyurethane.
3. When dry, sand lightly with 220 to remove the "fuzzies".
has to be removed to straighten it out.
use 1/2 oz (.5 oz) or 3/4 oz (.75 oz) fiberglass cloth.
stick the fiberglass to the balsa, so excessive amounts are not needed.
Let this dry. DO NOT SAND !!
Brush on another coat of polyurethane. This coat can be a little heavier.
Let this coat dry. DO NOT SAND !!
Brush on a medium coat of this mixture and let dry.
VERY EASILY SAND RIGHT THROUGH THE FIBERGLASS.
the weave is not completely filled, repeat step 6 and 7.
9. SPRAY a coat of water base polyurethane on the plane and let dry.
Fill any low areas with a lightweight filler and sand when dry.
Apply a THIN coat of polyurethane to these areas.
13. Now you can spray your paint.
well said campy. that's how i do it.
For example on the fuse do you start on the bottom, trim to edge and then overlap the sides on to bottom by a slight margin.
Interesting video invertmast, thanks campy and looked at a build thread by dhal22.
I used the WBPU method above with excellent results - it was so easy and clean. I always stayed away from glassing because the challenge to get a good light finish, but the WBPU is so easy and because the PU evaporates, it makes for a light finish.
Can you help me with finding a source for .05 oz cloth or even .75? I don't want to buy it one square yard at time. I used to buy it from a guy out west, but can't find him. Any help would be great.
I use Thayercraft for most of my glass needs.
Yes, Thayercraft is a great site for glass. I just got 50 Yds. of the .75 oz. for $75 delivered along with a few other weights of cloth. Each weight was rolled on a PVC pipe, sealed in plastic and wrapped in shipping paper. Good people to deal with and very quick service.
I would recommend proceeding back to front, and bottom to top. For example, if you glass the fuse, start on the back and work forward. this way, all overlaps are backward facing. On the wings, do the bottoms first with a little overlap onto the top of the wing along the leading edge. Then do the top of the wing overlapping onto the bottom along the leading edge. The overlaps do not need to be too large, 1/2 to 1 inch, but this will also give two layers over the leading edge for a little more hanger rash resistance. Same with the hoirizontal stabs. Trailing edges are usually too sharp to bend around and are typically sanded once cured to trim the overhang.
I personally wouldn't use water base anything.
Charles, the water based polyurethane provided an excellent surface for your graphics on my MK Blue Angel. But I think the automotive clear coat will help with the concerns you are thinking about.
At this point my only question is, whis PU product seems to be the poupular one to use?
OK I lied ..... I do have another question. Is the surface of a WBPU as hard and tough as a surface done using epoxy?
Which PU product seems to be the popular one to use?
Is the surface of a WBPU as hard and tough as a surface done using epoxy?
No it is not as hard as epoxy, but it is lighter and reasonably hard.
