We provide you with the best possible dental care, which is why we are pleased to have a GALILEOS® 3D Dental Conebeam X-ray system at Timberlake Dental. It is a major step forward in dental care for it provides exact, 3-dimensional data and imaging.
Professional dental care requires exacting understanding of both the shape and orientation of teeth and gums as well as the interaction of teeth with each other and with caries, fractures, and other physical changes that threaten oral health. Having the ability to review exact images and process data for these 3-dimensional relationships is therefore a significant advancement in our ability to provide excellent care.
The GALILEOS® 3D Dental Conebeam system is manufactured by Sirona, the world's largest dental technology manufacturer. Sirona makes use of advanced diagnostic X-ray imaging technology to enhance safety and effectiveness in the treatment of dental patients with a number of treatment techniques, such as orthodontics, endodontics, oral/maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, and implantology.
The software provides displays and visualization features that enable dentists to vastly improve the quality of treatments. These features enhance coordinating treatment planning with colleagues, explaining treatments to patients with vastly improved accuracy and clarity, and planning surgical procedures.
The GALILEOS® 3D Dental Conebeam system uses Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to provide 3-dimensional imaging of the oral and maxillofacial area from any orientation. The amount of radiation used for each scan is small – equivalent to 4 bitewing x-rays from traditional x-ray systems. A GALILEOS scan, which takes only 14 seconds, offers a broad spectrum of image types to maximize the diagnostic and treatment planning value of these images: panoramic, 3D, cross sectional sliced (also called Transversal Slice Acquisition or TSA), and cephalometric (relating to the spacial relationships of the teeth, jaws, and cranium) images. The Sirona 3D technology offers much more than the traditional x-ray imaging technology by processing a massive volume of 3D image data from 200 exposures or more gathered from a series of scans taken during a single session of 15 seconds or less. The GALILEOS system displays these multiple image results with high quality imaging and provides, in addition, an easy-to-use control software system.
With this advanced GALILEOS system Dr. Chowning can reliably make the appropriate decisions for diagnosing and planning your treatment, transfer the GALILEOS data to other systems as necessary to accurately provide, as examples, implants and crowns, transfer the data to other health professionals as needed, and, just as importantly, provide you with easy–to-understand imaging of what we plan to do or have done improve your dental health.

Speaker Urges "Audit" of Past Government
Leroy M. Sonpon, III
House Speaker Dr. Bhofal Chambers: "We are going to do proper due diligence so as so to make the people to have appreciation of the state of the country economy....And that is what we will do relentlessly."
Within just 42 days of sitting of the 54th Legislature and, amid sentiments expressed by some law makers echoing President Weah's declared "broken economy and broke government", the Speaker of the House of Representatives has disclosed that the Legislature would request for an audit to probe the causes of the "broke government" after 12-years of the Ellen Johnson Sirelaf Presidency.
President George M. Weah, the 54th Legislature inherited a broke government, of which the Central Bank of Liberia (CBL) has admittedly said as of January 22, 2018, it has as balance in the national coffers, US$5,637,941 and L$534,146,445 respectively.
In a rather strident tone, House's Speaker Dr. Bhofal Chambers told journalists on Friday, March 2, that the "audit" would be like taking stock or an inventory of what happened that led to the "money problem" as well as to take corrective measures.
"Basically we have to be able to take stock (audit); it's something that is genuinely realistic. We are going to do proper due diligence so as so to make the people have appreciation of the state of the country economy," Dr. Chambers said.
"It's not witch-hunting, but it is just fair that accountability must be carried out and that's the hallmark to make sure [of] things that occurred; and we will be able to know how those areas can be cleaned-up and how they can be corrected and we want the people to know that the Liberian people's money is intended for the Liberian people."
"And that is what we will do relentlessly," Dr. Chambers indicated.
The Speaker's statement followed an executive meeting with the CBL and the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning on the state of the country's economy in which huge debts have been inherited, including civil servants salaries, the AFL pensions and widows, domestic debts and amongst others, are in the tone of over US$90m.
However, it's expected that a formal communication will be written and discussed in the House's Chambers where votes will be taken for the General Auditing Commission (GAC) or any anti-graft institutions to be mandated to audit the administration of President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, from 2005- 2017.
Meanwhile, Transparency International, through the Center for Transparency and Accountability of Liberia (CENTAL) has urged President Weah to prosecute past officials alleged to be corrupt.
Transparency International is a worldwide organization that aims to stop corruption and promote transparency, accountability and integrity at all levels and across all sectors of society.
Also, The Institute for Research and Democratic Development (IREDD) has told President Weah to not allow officials of government who have caused serious financial loss and perpetuated economic crimes against the state to go with impunity.
IREDD Executive Director, Harold M. Aidoo, said the desperation and expectations of many Liberians are improved health care, quality education, access to basic social services for all, as well as the institution of social justice and rooting out corruption.
He added: "The President, His Excellency George M. Weah must demonstrate his commitment and seriousness to fight against corruption by setting up a Fast Track Economic Crimes Court to put on trial officials of government and all individuals who have embezzled state funds, committed economic crimes and caused financial loss to the state of Liberia."

It is a fine thing to do but officials of government are good for saying things that they cant do.And i want to recommend to Hon.speaker that this audit should not be only the executive branch that all of the government ministries and agencies but the Legislature and judiciary branch of government as well.
F. Hney March 6, 2018 at 11:35 am
It's very good to do an audit. But, if Johnson-Sirleaf or former government employees of hers are found guilty, what would be the consequence? In other words, what would the Lower House members recommend as a punishment If widespread theft occured? If the Lower House members are interested in doing an audit for no other reason, they might as well talk, shout and get drunk. If punishment is meted on criminals, would-be criminals will think twice before committing another crime. So, it's good to audit all the members of Johnson-Sirleaf's government, including Johnson-Sirleaf herself. If some are found guilty of embezzlement, the loot should be retrieved by all means. The culprits' next bed room should be in a jail cell.
flomo smith March 6, 2018 at 9:11 pm
The past government was running on money from taxes, fees and royalties so this current government is telling us they are not collecting taxes, fees and royalties?
Henry Freeman. March 7, 2018 at 9:35 am
Excellent Idea Hon, Dr. Chambers; the first place to begin your proposed AUDIT, should be the LEGISLATIVE branch of the Liberian Government. Please Sir, be honest with your findings. I've always felt that one reason why Liberia is broke today, is because of EXTRAVAGANCIES at the very top of the Liberian Government. Legislators are compensated much too high; by comparison to others. Let's remendy that problem first. Kind Regards!
Phil March 7, 2018 at 4:07 pm
Speaker Bhofal Chambers is a man of principles and I hope he will be able to bring some sanity to the House of Representative so Liberians can have faith again. The only way our country will ever succeed is if we are true to ourselves. It means we need to make sure we are doing the right thing by the country and if people are not behaving ethically, we should sanction them and make sure they never again be employed in government. we have a long, long way to go to reach an advanced civilization status so we may as well start now. But we will never reach the promise land if we don't reflect, and act with humility.
TD March 11, 2018 at 8:00 pm
Another important thing this Speaker should get the house to sifter. Medical doctors are looking for deadly diseases but not finding remedy to these sicknesses. For example, the native doctor now in charge to help the Ministry of health NT ain't worth the salt he eats since the past administration. The areas are not yet sanitized. Country rats coming to town giving fever to the people and even have killed some. This doctor should leave, be placed in research or be fired. The country Minister of Health should get rid of or quarantine all the mouses to be killed or sanitized by these doctors otherwise they will start killing the doctors themselves too. Call these doctors to chambers to explain immediately, as it is emergency. Telling you in Liberian. Do something now. Otherwise this V.P. will not leave the country and this speaker will need to start some kind of impeachment warning on her or her head. Cape Palmas is not exempted. WE MUST MAKE SANITIZING THE FIRST PRIORITY. The reboes and their wives killed up all those people during the war, left dead bodies lying around in the bush and in town for the rats, and bats to eat and bring deadly diseases. The last administration did nothing to sanitize. EBOLA came. Now the fever want to start. If this country President cannot hear, and make health first, the Bible says "he that hath an ear, let him hear." The silent majority says so. Let the people know. Do not reply my box.
Gone to silence.
JTDiggs March 11, 2018 at 8:43 pm
This married President and his unmarried Vice President got 6 years to answer the People. Otherwise they will not go back in the Nation's Chair. As long as the Liberian Nation becomes healthy again, the people will flow the budget accrued. All 20 candidates who promised the Liberian people in the last election are not exempted. They will not be turn loose. They will have to meet their promises to the people they promised. The President is not the only one who had a platform and promised. They will not get away any more without being responsible for the trouble or success of the land. Follow our past and present constitution understanding them well before you amend any more words. Remember tyranny came in between with military junta, war, and dictatorship and stealing functions and funds(corruption). Do you Understand what the forefathers, founders, meant by "UPHOLD THE LAWS?"(CONSTITUTION)? If so or if not, than why are we not beginning to sifter the first? 85% illiterate can't even understand the first set in various dialects yet, the 15% who say they know book, all looking for position and money, trying to fool their own people to bring redundant issues to steal functions and some more of our money. This will not work.
The Liberian Government does not worry about cash. CBL is enacted to supply cash based on accruals. If the appointed in charge of Government funding cannot write, see or hear that the people of Liberia will supply the work=force X distance, move them and replace them with the capable, as we go. This nation can no longer afford the past stress, strain, and misfortunes, and hurts. Maintaining the people's allotments appropriately with the most important priority will curb the corruption we all dislike. So start now or face the consequences and power of the silent majority. The Liberian people must know. Do not answer this box.
Gone to silence too.

Q: Having issues with array holding its value I am kind of new when it comes to C. Took a class on it in college but I just don't practice it much. Well my issue that I'm having is that I'm trying to take an text file and convert it into an array. I have been able to get the text file and print it into the console but when I save run the while statement to read each line, my whole array gets overwritten. For instance if my last line on my text file is 19, my array[0] gets over written to what should be on array[18].
I know the indentations are off a off, coding is a mess, and forgive me on the printf commands, I'm only using them to troubleshoot my code. The text file will have IP address on each line.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define MAX_LINE_LENGTH 16

int main()
{
    int lineCntPOSlist = 0;
    int lineCnt = 0;
    int i = 0;
    FILE    *textfile;
    char    line[MAX_LINE_LENGTH];
    char* posList[50];

    textfile = fopen("pos-list.txt", "r");

    if(textfile == NULL)
    {
        int posListExist = 0;
        system("cls");
        printf("File Exist %d\n", posListExist);
        fprintf(stderr, "**File open failed\n Make sure there is a pos-list.txt file");
        return 1;
    }

    system("cls");

    while(fgets(line, MAX_LINE_LENGTH, textfile))
    {
        printf("Line %d: %s",lineCnt , line);
        posList[lineCnt] = line;
        printf("posList[%d] = %s\n", lineCnt, posList[lineCnt] );
    printf("posList[0] = %s\n", posList[0] );

        lineCnt = ++lineCnt;
        lineCntPOSlist = ++lineCntPOSlist;
    }
    fclose(textfile);
    return 0;
}

A: This:
posList[lineCnt] = line;

simply sets posList[lineCnt] to point at the line buffer in line, it copies zero characters of actual data. In higher-level languages where strings have a bit more presence, this would make sense, but in C it doesn't.
Since there is only one line buffer, it will always hold the characters making up the most recently loaded line, and thus it will act as if previous lines are being "overwritten".
There are several solutions, here are a few:

*

*Make posList into a proper array of strings, but that requires you to decide max length in advance and will waste the space for shorter lines.

*Use something like strdup() to allocate copies on the heap of each line, and store pointers to those.

*Use a more "proper" reallocating array for the storage and store line pointers (or offsets, which might be better suited due to the reallocating) in the array for easier access.

Before Nadal/Federer, before Agassi/Sampras, there was Björn Borg (Sverrir Gudnason)—the rigorously disciplined, preternaturally focused Swede—going head-to-head with John McEnroe (a perfectly cast Shia LaBeouf)—the brash, aggressive American prone to on-court emotional outbursts. These two men, a pure contrast in both style and temperament, competed in 1980 in what many consider to be the greatest tennis match ever played. Based on the true story, Borg vs. McEnroe is an exhiliarting look at an unforgettable sports rivalry between two celebrity athletes.


New heavy-lift helicopters could give the U.S. military unprecedented rapid-deployment capability, but first the Pentagon must attack budgetary problems and inter-service rivalries.
Army generals don't always speak well about the Marine Corps. The two services have long enjoyed a healthy, and sometimes not-so-healthy, rivalry. The competition has intensified now that the Marines are returning to Iraq to replace Army units.
So it was newsworthy when, three months ago, the Army's Chief of Staff, Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, went out of his way to praise the Marines' procurement of the V-22 Osprey.
Schoomaker, a former head of the Special Operations Command, was brought out of retirement last August by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to shake up an Army many observers think has become too bureaucratized and inflexible.
It's not that the Army intends to procure the V-22. Schoomaker clearly stated the service will not. "There is nobody right now that's thinking about buying a V-22 for the Army," he said.
However, the capability that the Osprey brings to the battlefield–twice the speed, three times the payload, and six times the range of a conventional helicopter, with the ability to self-deploy–clearly does interest Schoomaker. Such capability could address the Army's increasingly stringent heavy-lift requirements.
"I want to see what's beyond" the V-22, he said. "There's a dimension beyond that. It's like V-22 capability with a CH-47-size box or a C-130-size box… the advanced tactical transport" tilt-rotor.
Schoomaker was referring to Bell Helicopter Textron's proposed quad tilt-rotor, one of many ideas now being floated to address the Army's need for more capable heavy-lift, intra-theater logistical supply aircraft.
All of the services require enhanced heavy-lift capability. However, the requirement is most pressing for the Army and Marine Corps, the two services tasked with landing troops on the ground, typically in distant and austere environments with no nearby landing bases.
Schoomaker, in fact, referred to the military's experience in Afghanistan, where Marines and Special Operations Forces were inserted on the ground from ships 900 mi. offshore via helicopters, mostly CH-53E Super Stallions. The mission was successful, but it clearly strained the logistical capabilities of the U.S. military.
Indeed, these helicopters had to be refueled four times en route to Afghanistan. The Osprey would have required just one or two refuelings and it could have performed the mission twice as fast, Schoomaker noted. This speed advantage would make the V-22 considerably less vulnerable to rocket-propelled grenades. Moreover, unlike the CH-53E, the Special Forces CV-22 (and perhaps the Marine Corps MV-22) will employ Defensive Infrared Counter Measures (DIRCM) to defend against shoulder-fired missiles.
The problem for the Army and the Marine Corps is that these types of difficult and challenging missions are now the rule, not the exception–and the rule surely will grow more exacting on the U.S. military. The Super Stallions, after all, made the trek to Afghanistan over friendly, non-hostile airspace. But what happens when that's not the case, as it was not in Iraq?
Turkey did not permit the United States to launch an invasion of Iraq from its territory. This denied the U.S. military a northern front in the war, thus permitting thousands of anti-American armed insurgents to escape the Army and Marine forces to their south. These insurgents have since launched a powerful guerilla operation that has bedeviled the U.S military and killed more American troops than were killed during major combat operations last spring.
But if that were possible through a more capable heavy-lift aircraft, then the Army would have "great asymmetric capability." For example, an enemy might know where U.S. airplanes are being staged, but that location could be entirely separate from where American infantry forces are coalescing.
Golson said that it is too early to speculate on the performance specifications that the U.S. military wants in a new heavy-lift aircraft. However, it is well known within the industry that the Army requires an aircraft that can transport its 20-ton Future Combat System (FCS), and that the service seeks to extend its heavy-lift range to around 500 km. roundtrip. Cruising speeds in excess of 200 kt. also are desired.
�"The use of heavy-lift rotorcraft to 'vertically envelop' the adversary with the FCS force package has shown significant promise in war games and simulation models," reported the Rand Corp. in a 2003 study.
"Planning and funding for vertical aircraft science and technology investment, infrastructure, research and development, and procurement do not adequately reflect the warfighters' reliance on these important assets." Task force recommendations, he wrote, will affect the Fiscal 2005 and 2006 budgets.
The task force is focusing on vertical heavy-lift aircraft because that is the U.S. military's most pressing, unfulfilled aviation requirement, task force members said.
The Army's only cargo helicopter, the CH-47 Chinook, has performed well in Iraq and Afghanistan and thus been utilized for troop assault missions as well as logistical supply efforts. However, the Chinook's performance underscores the increasing importance of vertical heavy-lift aircraft to the U.S. military, analysts said.
"I think that among the Army aviation modernization requirements, the need for modernizing heavy lift is probably more pressing than the need for new attack or utility helicopters," said Loren Thompson, an analyst for the Lexington Institute in Arlington, Virginia.
"Given the threats that we face, the Apache is more than adequate and the Black Hawk is doing fine. Where we have a problem is in an increasingly decrepit cargo helicopter that can't really do the type of logistical support that rapid deployment requires. It's getting a little worrisome," Thompson said.
The Pentagon's director of transformation, Vice Adm. Arthur K. Cebrowski (Ret.), has dubbed the military's requirement for more capable rotary-wing aircraft an "area of potential regret." These are areas that are "not funded at the kind of level that is likely to produce a result which is consistent with the actual available technology," Cebrowski said in a recent speech.
"We're moving to the non-continuous battle space, which is profoundly enabled by advances in information technology. Those advances will come to naught if there are not corresponding advances in battlefield mobility, particularly vertical mobility." Heavy-lift capability also is essential to supporting operational maneuverability, Cebrowski noted.
Yet, NASA closed down its National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex in May because of a lack of funding. The Ames Research Center in Sunnyvale, California, houses two full-scale wind tunnels–40x80 ft. and 80x100 ft., respectively–that are instrumental to developing new rotorcraft technologies, industry officials said.
Moreover, NASA zeroed out rotorcraft research funding in Fiscal '02 and '03. Some of that money was later restored, and the agency has since agreed to fund aeronautics research with at least $15 million annually. But $15 million represents just 25—30 percent of what this funding stream used to be, said Rhett Flater, executive director of the American Helicopter Society International in Alexandria, Virginia.
Funding is especially important now because seed money spent today will go a long way toward identifying what is technologically feasible and cost-efficient, industry officials said.
Boeing manufacturers the Chinook and is co-producing the Osprey with Bell.
The company insists, though, that it is not wedded to any particular aircraft type or technology, but instead is investing in basic modeling and simulation research to illustrate the tradeoffs involved in any potential solution.
"Every configuration has pros and cons, whether it's cost, speed, or lift efficiency," Carmona said. However, he added, these are technologically exciting times.
"We can do things with rotor blades that were unthinkable 10 years ago. We have fuel-efficient engines that can reduce fuel consumption by 35 percent and still extend the aircraft's range. We've made great advances in transmission design. Our manufacturing processes are better. We now use smarter, composite materials," Carmona said.
Sikorsky officials agreed that if the financial commitment is there, great technological progress can be made; however, they're skeptical about whether enhanced vertical lift capability is a true Pentagon priority. "Even within the rotorcraft world, there are a lot of bills to pay," cautioned Kit McKeon, Sikorsky's director of Army business development.
McKeon said Sikorsky has a number of new technologies that it could develop to address the military's need for a more capable heavy-lift aircraft, but he declined to identify these technologies because they are proprietary.
Sikorsky has publicly proposed a coaxial-design, three-engine helicopter that could lift upwards of 25 tons. This aircraft would not provide the dramatic increases in speed and range promised by the Bell quad tilt-rotor. Nor would it match that aircraft's promise of vast internal cabin space for heavy-lift transport. Cargo instead would have to be transported by hook beneath the aircraft.
Sikorsky's coaxial-design heavy-lift helicopter, though, would cost substantially less than the quad tilt-rotor–an estimated $50 million a copy versus $100 million a copy, respectively, industry analysts said.
The problem is that the joint U.S. military doesn't really know what it wants in the way of a future heavy-lift aircraft, when exactly it wants it and at what cost. But without leadership from the Pentagon, the various services go their separate ways.
The Marine Corps, for instance, has committed to a remanufacture of the CH-53E. The new CH-53X should be flying in 2012 and the Marines expect to take delivery of the last such helicopter in 2022, said Maj. David Dowling, the Corps's CH-53X requirements officer.
"The horrible truth is that CH-53X funding ramps up right around the time that CH-47 funding ramps down," Aboulafia said. The Army is scheduled to take delivery of its last new F-model Chinook in 2018. The aircraft then has a useful service life of at least 20 years.
The CH-53X and CH-47F would give the services significant improvements in range and payload. However, they are still old airframes that do not provide the technological leap-ahead capability that is necessary for 21st century conflicts, analysts said. Indeed, neither the CH-53X and CH-47F can ferry the Army's Future Combat System, which is scheduled to enter service in 2012.
The Office of the Secretary of Defense "needs to knock heads together between the Army and Marine Corps for integrated requirements and give this mission the priority it deserves," Thompson said. "Our weapon systems are becoming more and more precise, but our logistical capabilities aren't keeping pace" with these improvements.

Q: Find and replace within a multidimensional hash - Ruby If you take a hash:
{
   :element => {
      :to_find => 'found me'
   },
   :element_2 => {
      :inner_element => {
         :n_elements => {
            :to_find => 'found me'
         }
       :do_not_touch => 'still here'
      }
   }
}

How could I find and replace the :to_find with 'changed'?
I have attempted
(hash).update(hash){|k,v| (([:to_find].include? k) ? 'changed' : v}

however this is only one deep.
I could make a recursive function such has as:
def change_keys(hash, keys, new_value)
   (hash).update(hash) do |k,v|
       if (keys.include? k)
         new_value
       else
          if v.class == Hash
            find_key(v)
          else
            v
          end
       end
    end
end

I have tested that running this, works:
change_keys(my_hash, [:to_find], 'changed')

However, is there a cleaner way?

A: A recursive method is the way to go, but you can make it cleaner...
def change_keys(hash, keys, new_value)
    keys.each { |k|  hash[k] = new_value if hash.has_key?(k) }
    hash.values.each { |v| change_keys(v, keys, new_value)  if v.class == Hash }
end

A: I think you can try something like this
eval({
  :x => 'y',
  :q =>
  {
    :x => 'y',
    :s =>
      {
        :x => 'y'
      }
  }
}.to_s.gsub(/:x=>"."/, ':x=> "new_value"')
)

Saudi Arabia intercepts Houthi missile fired toward Riyadh; no reported casualties
Katie Paul, Rania El Gamal
RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi air defenses shot down a ballistic missile fired by Yemen's Houthi group towards Riyadh on Tuesday, the Saudi-led coalition said, in an attack that could escalate a proxy war between the kingdom and Iran.
There were no reports of casualties or damage. In contrast, a U.N. human rights spokesman said coalition air strikes had killed at least 136 non-combatants in war-torn Yemen since Dec. 6.
The Iran-aligned Houthi movement said it had aimed the missile at the Saudi royal court at al-Yamama palace, where a meeting of Saudi leaders was under way. It described the attack as a new chapter in the conflict.
The Saudi-led coalition said the missile, the latest of several fired towards Riyadh, had been directed at residential areas and there had been no damage.
Quoting a statement from the coalition, Saudi state news agency SPA said Iranian-made missiles were a threat to regional and international security. It accused the Houthis of using humanitarian entry points into Yemen to smuggle in missiles from Saudi Arabia's regional arch-foe Iran.
"Coalition forces confirm intercepting an Iranian-Houthi missile targeting (the) south of Riyadh. There are no reported casualties at this time," the government-run Center for International Communication wrote on its Twitter account.
Saudi palaces, military and oil facilities are within range of such missiles, the Houthis said in a statement carried by the group's Al-Masirah television.
Latest Houthi missile 'bears hallmarks' of Iran arms attacks: U.S.
The U.S. State Department condemned the missile attack and called on Iran to stop arming the Houthis.
At the United Nations, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said the Houthi missile strike "bears all the hallmarks of previous attacks using Iranian-provided weapons."
Haley said she was exploring, with some U.N. Security Council colleagues, several options for pressuring Iran to "adjust their behavior." Haley is likely to struggle, however, to convince some members, like veto powers Russia and China, that U.N. action is needed.
THOUSANDS OF AIR STRIKES IN YEMEN
Saudi Arabia and Iran are locked in struggle for influence in the Middle East. The conflict in Saudi Arabia's backyard Yemen has killed more than 10,000 people and displaced over 2 million.
The Houthis for their part have fired several missiles at the kingdom, but have not caused any serious damage.
The attack came as the Houthis marked 1,000 days since the Saudi-led coalition began military operations in Yemen in March 2015 after the Iran-aligned group drove Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi into exile.

"The enemies had their own mirage calculations ... but over 1,000 days, there has been this great steadfastness," said Abdel-Malek al-Houthi, a Houthi leader, in a speech on the group's Al-Masirah TV.
The United Arab Emirates, a close ally of Saudi Arabia and part of its coalition, said the latest Houthi attack underscored the need to keep the military campaign in Yemen going.
"With every Iranian missile fired by the Houthi militia against civilian targets, the necessity of (Operation) Decisive Storm becomes clear," United Arab Emirates Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash wrote on his Twitter account.
Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri condemned the attack, saying such actions exacerbated divisions in the region.
Saudi Arabia and Iran are also competing for influence in Iraq and Syria.
Reuters witnesses described hearing a blast and said they saw smoke in the northeast of Riyadh.
Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman, has described what Riyadh says is Iran's supply of rockets to the Houthis as "direct military aggression" that could be an act of war.
Iran has denied supplying such weaponry to the Houthis, who have taken over the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, and other parts of the country during its civil war.
Saudi Arabia said on Nov. 4 it had intercepted a ballistic missile over Riyadh's King Khaled Airport, an attack that led the coalition to close Yemeni ports.
On Nov. 30, Saudi Arabia shot down another missile near its southwestern city of Khamis Mushait.
Last week, the United States presented for the first time pieces of what it said were Iranian weapons supplied to the Houthis, describing them as conclusive evidence that Tehran was violating U.N. resolutions.
The arms included charred remnants of what the Pentagon said was an Iranian-made short-range ballistic missile fired from Yemen in the Nov. 4 attack, as well as a drone and an anti-tank weapon recovered in Yemen by the Saudis.

It's quite surprising that we are already in part 4. Time flies, doesn't it? This week I continue our list revealing the '10 please don't ever do that to me again' situations you can find yourself in when it comes to customer service. I am talking about the mistakes service providers can make.
If you missed the post last week, here is a small recap. In the 10 worst ways to treat a customer – Part 3, I was talking about how criticism makes the customer feel and how to communicate professional disagreement in a professional manner. And that was the main takeaway last week: don't get personal with the customer, if I like turquoise with pink dots on my business card, it's not your place to judge, but to advise. And again…advise in a professional way.
Now, that we are all in the mood, let's get straight to the point and talk about money in the next two topics of the list.
Treat my budget as a pure guess.
I am not an expert, not even a co-worker to know how much such services cost. Sure, I would do some preliminary research which can be either accurate or downright misleading depending on the niche. There are services with huge price ranges and I, as a customer, have absolutely no idea what the price depends on. So, whatever budget I tell you, is an educated guess at best.
Treat it accordingly. If you get insulted or personally offended, then the business relationship ends there. Remember that, I am only guessing here and the most beneficial way for both of us, if you politely correct my budget and explain me why it is more and also how you work which can prove a bigger increase of my budget. That will certainly convince me that I have made a mistake when I set my limits.
Don't shut me down when I try to negotiate the price.
Who doesn't want to save some money? Who doesn't? Everyone, so please don't consider as a shameless insult if I try to do so. The economy is tough, we are barely out of the woods after 2008 and everyone just wants to survive. This doesn't mean that I don't want to pay your price. Of course, I will pay it without any issue, the only thing I want to know if there is room for negotiation.
Don't simply tell me: "price is not negotiable", but explain me how the workload and quality require that amount. You can say no and looking flexible at the same time. And it all comes down to the same crucial things, proper communication and power of phrasing.


Ten-man City battled to a much-needed win at Grimsby to bounce back to form.
Omar Daley set them on their way with a superb sixth-minute opener. But Matt Clarke's red card five minutes later for a professional foul made it a real battle against a side who have not won in the league since March 22.
Former Grimsby striker Michael Boulding made it 2-0 after 32 minutes and a superb save from Rhys Evans denied Nick Hegarty one back soon after the break.
Skipper Graeme Lee notched his first City goal with a thumping header before Liam Trotter responded.
Grimsby huffed and puffed but City defended superbly, although the result was tarnished by the sight of Joe Colbeck being carried off on a stretcher.
CITY: Evans, Moncur, Lee, M Clarke, O'Brien, Colbeck, McLaren, Furman, Daley, Boulding, Thorne. Subs: Arnison, Conlon, T Clarke, Osborne, McLaughlin.
