If you're not already familiar with invisible aligners like Invisalign® , they get their name from the fact they're practically invisible. Featuring a clear material molded from your teeth, they don't have any brackets or wires and can be easily removed for brushing and flossing.
While slightly more expensive than other braces, Invisalign is the known for the comfort and visibility.
The biggest benefit of Invisalign is obviously straightening your teeth so you can enjoy a naturally beautiful smile. But Invisalign has immense benefits when compared to traditional metal braces and other orthodontics.
Virtually invisible design: Since it's made from clear plastic, Invisalign is virtually invisible. The vast majority of people won't even know you're wearing them. That means you don't have to worry about being self-conscious in public as you secretly straighten your teeth.
No inconveniences: With traditional braces, you have to worry about brackets, wires and diet restrictions. Invisalign doesn't have the same restrictions, as they're removable and let you eat whatever you want. You also don't have as many visits to see your orthodontist.
Maintains oral health: Straight teeth are beautiful, but so are white teeth. With Invisalign, you can brush and floss your teeth like you normally would. This ensures your teeth and gums are healthy without any special cleaning practices.
Less Emergencies: Since you don't have brackets to fall off, there will be less emergencies.
Convenience: Invisalign is a great option for someone who is busy. Invisalign patients are seen approximately every 8weeks. Your office visits will be short and fast.
These are just a few of the reasons more and more people are turning to Invisalign for straighter teeth.
If you really want to know if Invisalign is the best option for you, it's important to sit down with Dr. Kim and discuss your needs and lifestyle. After all, it's an important decision. We are equipped with 3D-digital scanner (iTERO Element) to show you the final smile. Simulation of your future smile can help you see if Invisalign with right for you. Other things to think about before deciding on Invisalign include addressing your orthodontic condition, your cooperation, commitment and busy schedule.
If you'd like to know more about Invisalign for adults, schedule a consultation with us today.

Using the engraving skills he learned in England, Harold Watson Sr arrived from Birmingham England and began what is today a multi-generation jewelry business.
Established in 1927, H Watson Jewelry was originally a wholesale ring vendor serving Chicagoland jewelers. After World War II, his son – Harold Jr. – joined the business. While automating his father's engraving design and continuing the wholesale business, Harold Jr. also founded the retail side of H Watson Jewelery. That retail business continued to evolve into today's H Watson Jewelry.
Since 1988, we have continued to serve the jewelry needs of many families over multiple generations. Our passion is to create unique pieces of jewelry to become family heirlooms and to transform old family pieces into today's designs for future generations to enjoy.


There are many sides to Andrew Carmellini—there's the Cleveland-bred, all-American boy who chicken-fried quail at comfort-food clubhouse the Dutch, and the globe-trotting gastronome who pulled from French foothills past traveled for his bistro blockbuster Lafayette. But Italian cuisine has always been the restaurateur-chef's sweet spot, cultivated as a 14-year-old boiling pasta at the local Italian joint back in Ohio, an itch he scratched with the rustic plates at A Voce and Locanda Verde.
Carmellini's latest venture, a two-story pasta emporium in the former Peels space, was trademarked seven years ago, but the project was put on pause when the hype-storm that was Locanda debuted—and the wait may just be a saving grace. In the years between, Gotham's Italian eating has become a parade of oversize gimmickry, all wingspan menus, pizza-size parmigiana and booming Sinatra. Instead of jumping on the bigger-is-better bandwagon, Carmellini, along with fellow chef Sal Lamboglia, doesn't just go small—he goes primi.
Piccolini, antipasti and house-made pastas (ruffled-bell campanelle, half-moon mezzaluna) all share menu real estate, with one notable exclusion: entrées. Meaty mains are regulated to nightly specials only, like the succulent Thursday night lamb chops ($29), instead spotlighting that feast-starting first act, primi piatti.
And rightly so. Fork prongs battle over shared bowls of tender orecchiette ($16), turned creamy from the welcome addition of chickpeas to broccoli rabe and fennely sausage, and country-green spinach cavatelli ($17), a wine-rich veal bianco sauce clinging lustily to the pasta's seal. A tangle of linguine ($14), sucker-punched with heady four-clove garlic and finished with crispy bread crumbs, is so heart-stoppingly good that if someone doesn't want to snog you after, reconsider the relationship.
Smaller plates are more hit-or-miss—though cloaked in a tangy, toothsome sugo, the fontina-stuffed meatballs ($12) suffer from a devastatingly watery center—but are vital to fill out the entrée-less spread; plus ordering a cavalcade of dishes puts a smile on your flanneled server's face to rival your are-you-sure-you're-not-hungry nonna.
Those plaid shirts are no accident: Waitstaff, dressed like L-train lieutenants, bustle around a space that owes as much to south Brooklyn as it does southern Italy, with communal tables screaming both farmhouse-chic and family-style. With its off-duty PR-girl clientele, the pasta shop dips a toe in splashy Italian, but Carmellini's smart enough not to wade into the deep end.
I was a bit skeptical on Bar Primi since I heard the dishes here were a drastic hit or miss, but I had a very positive experience! The rice balls lived up to the hype and the brussel sprouts with bits of crunchy pepperoni were incredible. I wasn't a fan of the frose - it was a very small amount and quite bitter. For my meal, I went outside my comfort zone and got the squid ink campanelle with crab and garlic crema. It was absolutely delicious and had a kick to it that really elevated the dish for me.
Bar Primi is awesome - the menu has options for everyone and the frose is really strong - although not necessarily "frozen" like a slushy. You really can't go wrong with anything here - pastas, pancakes, its all amazing. There's also a whole upstairs area which is really nice and feels less like the "bar" vibe downstairs.
I've gone to Bar Primi twice (I normally try to get to different restaurants instead of going back to the same), but it's worth the repeat, and I plan to return again. I like the fresh, airy, open space, the service has been great, and the food is simple and delicious. Out of everything I've tried, I've narrowed my favorites down to two- The Linguine with garlic and breadcrumbs, and the rigatoni with eggplant- I'm not entirely sure what it's called, but keep an eye out for it on the menu, or ask your waiter- The sauce was so good! When I was there for lunch, I noticed some brunch-y items on the menu- Looking forward to going back to try the ricotta pancakes- They're served with bananas, walnuts, and NUTELLA- yum!
Bar Primi is a not-so-serious yet sophisticated spot inhabiting an unassuming street corner on the LES. It's the kind of place you can take almost anyone to and know that they'll find something they love the sound of - the menu is low-key but dishes are undeniably impressive. Fresh pasta and and a cocktail called frosé were what drew us here and neither disappointed. My plate of linguine with 4 garlic cloves and breadcrumbs was a lesson in the art of Italian cooking, a dish with likely 5 ingredients yet I'd be incapable of replicating it to the same standard at home.
The prices are a little harder to swallow, particularly given the portioning, but that said each of left satisfied with shared starters and a primi each and if I lived in New York I'd definitely be returning.
Went here on a Thursday night with my roommate. I tried the infamous Frose (which I did not like so much) it was a bit bitter for me, but alas I had it. We had the rice balls as an appetizer and they were delicious and for the main course I had the ravioli which was also amazing. The prices are obviously outrageous but that's New York. The service was top notch and the food came out very quickly, it was certainly worth it and next paycheck I will be back!
This place has gotten really popular after a Facebook video went viral featuring the restaurant's Frose cocktail (aka frozen Rose)... and rightfully so! Not only is the cocktail great, but so are the food, service, and ambiance. If you go for restaurant week, they include some great options on their 3-course menu. The burratta appetizer is delicious, as is the garganelli pasta dish. The gelato of the day when I went was hazelnut and it felt like I was eating a ferrero roche candy in ice cream form. Can't wait to go back to this place!
One of the best places, and most affordable, places for a group dinner, especially for a girl's night out. This place has everything you could want in a restaurant:great pastas; solid drinks including an extensive wine list; sidewalk seating; spacious interior; reasonable prices; ideal location; etc.
The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because it's not one of my all-time favorite places for Italian (and I'm picky with Italian) and I could use another pasta dish or two on the menu, but I've been here several times and always have an awesome meal.
The romantic ambiance, delicious pasta selection and enjoyable craft cocktails make Bar Primi a solid option for good Italian food in a sea of options in New York. The entire menu is reasonably priced, with most pasta dishes and main courses coming in between $18-22 and cocktails falling at a standard $15ish range. The Tomato Rice Balls and Spaghetti Pomadoro are my personal favorite dishes - fresh, delicious and authentic. Cocktail-wise, go for the seasonal strawberry frozen rosé - not listed on the menu but still available - which is the definitely the standout of the summer.
Perfect for a date night, cocktails, or an evening out with a group of friends, the two-story restaurant has slightly slow service, but is a worthwhile haunt to find an enjoyable and authentic meal.
I wish I could leave no stars for this restaurant. The food is mediocre and overpriced, absolutely nothing inventive or exciting. As well they have a huge customer service issue. My card was charged the wrong amount when I ate here a week and a half ago (by about $300). I realized the mistake and immediately contacted the restaurant and was told, after a ton of back and forth with an employee, that my card would be refunded. Over a week later the money has still not been refunded to my card. I have still yet to actually speak to a manager, as every time I call the manager is "not in" or "in a meeting". The manager also has all of my contact information, so could've reached out to me directly even if he really wasn't in, or in a meeting. I asked to receive proof that my card was refunded, and was never sent this. To sum it up - there a lot of other better Italian places in New York, but if you do decide to eat here I would definitely check your statement, as this restaurant is apparently very careless with credit cards.
The pastas at sleek newcomer Bar Primi are exceptional, particularly the linguine, packed with garlic and breadcrumbs, and the kind of pasta dish you dream about all the time, and the spaghetti and clams, deepened and spiced with a hit of 'nduja. The two-level space definitely gets crowded, so a reservation is a good idea—though you can always while away time with the suits at the bar downstairs. Pasta is the thing here, though you can round out your meal with salads and small plates, though they don't reach quite the same level as the masterful noodles in each dish.
There are so many great Italian restaurants in New York, but Bar Primi is definitely my favorite. They have a wide range of choices both in food and cocktails are extensive and surprisingly cheap for how good everything is. They don't take reservations for parties under five but the last time I ate there the manager came to our table and after telling him the restaurant was one of my favorite restaurants he gave us his direct number to call if we ever had to wait too long to get a table. My personal favorites are the Sicilian Tomato Rice Balls, Spaghetti Pomadoro, and for a refreshing summer drink I love the Italian Iced Tea.


Definition - What does Granularity mean?
In computer science, granularity refers to a ratio of computation to communication – and also, in the classical sense, to the breaking down of larger holistic tasks into smaller, more finely delegated tasks. Granularity can inform development practices and direct design for technologies, by bringing attention to how computing tasks work in the context of an entire project.
Experts talk about how "finer granularity" results in small tasks with smaller code sizes and faster execution times. Professional programmer George Moromisato on Quora talks about granularity as "the ability to manipulate, display or specify small, discrete pieces as opposed to large groups," using the example of firewall software that would target individual IP addresses instead of massive address blocks.
In general, IT professionals talking about granularity are talking about bringing a finer level of detail to technologies and computing or code work. This is the general lexical meaning of granularity, to make things into finer, and often more manageable pieces.
Can Niche Cloud Providers Compete with the 'Big Guys'?


With October half-term fast approaching, parents will be looking for day trips out to keep their kids entertained.
Well, one theme park has a latest offer that could do just that and save you a lot of money.
To celebrate the launch of the new LEGO NINJANGO Movie, the Legoland Windsor resort is offering free entry to guests. However, there is a catch, as the Mirror reports.
To claim one of the free entry passes, you'll need to share your name with one of the film's main characters; Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Nya, Zane and Cole.
Although these names are particularly uncommon, the offer applies to both children and parents.
Photo of the snoozy dragon guarding the fireplace at the Tournament Tavern at Legoland Windsor.
The free tickets will be available from the October 13, the day the film is released in UK cinemas, right through until the October 30.
All you need to do to claim the free pass is turn up at the ticket office with proof of identity for yourself or your child.
Legoland Windsor opened the Castle Hotel back in July. The new addition to the resort is packed with 61 knight and wizard themed family bedrooms, each with their own separate sleeping areas.
The resort also launched a brand new NINJANGO world not too long ago, which is home to a ride that uses hand gesture technology with 4D effects - the first of its kind in the UK.

Everybody who has ever been to a store has seen those electronic gates which are meant to keep shoplifters from stealing stuff. Normal shoplifters use some kind of countermeasures and are actually not bothered by the gates, only honest people get to suffer from them. Typically the gate triggers the alarm by accident when shop personnel simply forgot to remove the tag, or sometimes a rolled wire of some sorts will resemble a coil so that the gate thinks that my recently bought extension cord and/or Ethernet cable is an anti-theft tag. The other not-so-typical scenario is that, there is a tag attached to thing that you bought, but the gate does NOT trigger the alarm. Well, this time that's what happened.
I'm at home and realize, that there is a tag attached. It looks ugly and annoying and should be removed. Since I've always wanted to know how do they remove them in the shop, I took my trustworthy Dremel and started cutting.
It looks that there are 4 lightly magnetic ball bearings inside a small cavity made out of plastic and steel. The steely part of the cave is also magnetic so that it attracts the ball bearings to stay on that side. Then there is the part they remove in the store, it is a metallic stud which really doesn't move a lot when pulled. If a lot of force is applied to the stud, the four ball bearings are tightening to the direction of the pull, so that is it impossible (or very very hard) to actually succeed in removing the stud from the tag. In the store (you see them next to the cash register) they have a powerful magnet which is applied to the plastic side of the tag. When the tag is placed on top of the magnet, it pulls the ball bearings down (with the help of gravity), making the stud move away. A removed stud slips back to the tag very easily without magnets or anything, the ball bearings just move out of the way.
The tag is fully covered with plastic and most of it is a coil for the gate. Normal tags don't have sharp edges or brownish dust from dremeling. This one does, since I literally cut it half. The white plastic part in the 2nd pic is typically covered with the black plastic. Also the stud in the pics 3 and 4 is bit longer, since it is not cut short with a power tool.
Next question typically is: How to remove them next time without cutting/breaking the tag? My answer is that I don't know. My tag is busted anyway, but next time I have one that is not busted, I'll try applying some sort of magnet and hitting the tag to the direction of the magned. Eventually, it boils down to the magnetic force, so a powerful one is recommended. I don't know if I have one that has enough pull in it, but I'll sure try. Another thing that comes into mind is to keep twisting the stud while pulling, it should make the ball bearings roll and stay loose enough.

Microsoft will classify email into four different categories; with all four types of messages flagged within the web version of Outlook, but only suspicious emails will be highlighted within the Outlook app.
Any email that has failed sender authentication or is a known phishing email is labelled suspicious email and flagged with a red bar.
While, unknown messages will be flagged as yellow, and Exchange Online Protection will mark it as spam. Trusted email from a domain that Microsoft has flagged as safe will have a green bar attached to it.
Additionally, you'll have the option of telling Microsoft that a message it mistakenly flagged as suspicious is in fact genuine.

Suspect killed, officer wounded in Florida police shooting
A Florida sheriff says a 20-year-old man who shot a police officer while resisting arrest was mortally wounded when officers returned fire
NOTIFIED: Jan. 18, 2021
Catch up on the developing stories making headlines.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A 20-year-old man who shot a police officer while resisting arrest was mortally wounded when officers returned fire, a sheriff said.
St. Petersburg police searching for Dominque Daquan Harris found him Wednesday afternoon outside a grocery store, where he refused orders to get out of his car, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said during a news conference.
"The officers tried to open the car door and couldn't get it open. They attempted to get into the car by breaking the car window," Gualtieri said.
The plainclothes officers had blocked Harris with their cars, but he hit a cruiser and a pole as he attempted to get away, the sheriff said.
"As the detective tried to get out of his car, Harris reached out the window of his vehicle with a semi-automatic handgun and fired rounds at the St. Petersburg detective," said Gualtieri.
The officer returned fire, hitting Harris. Other officers fired as well, more than a dozen shots, and Harris was hit multiple times, Gualtieri said. A bystander's video, appearing to show the shooting from inside the grocery store, was posted to Facebook.
The officer was struck in the lower torso and underwent surgery, the sheriff said.
"I would almost call it point-blank range," Gualtieri said. "He is very fortunate and we're all very fortunate that it wasn't worse, that he wasn't shot in a more vulnerable location."
Another officer injured her knee and suffered a concussion, the sheriff said.
Harris died a short time after the shooting at a hospital. His family and friends waited for three hours there for updates on his condition, and had not been told of his death before the sheriff announced it during the news conference, the Tampa Bay Times reported. Word of his death spread through the crowd and was greeted by desperate wails, as people collapsed into sobs on the ground, the newspaper reported.
The sheriff said Harris had been sought on a child abuse charge after slamming a 15-year-old on a basketball court in October. Sheriff's office records also show Harris, a Black man, had been jailed for eight months on charges of burglary and fleeing police and violation of parole before being released in July.
Investigators found a firearm and at least one spent shell inside Harris' car on Wednesday, "providing evidence and proof that Harris was shooting" at the officer, Gaultieri said.
The officers involved in Wednesday's shooting, whose names haven't been released, will be placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.


I just finished my quarterly book run, so I'm done with the quarterly purchasing hiatus (Buying songs while printing books tends to produce screwed up books. Yes, I can work around it, in fact I'm set up to do so, but I feel more secure this way. Stop bugging me).
So I'm working on making up for lost time with a fairly major chunk of songs. There will be more in the coming days - for one thing, I have a custom disc coming - but this'll do for now.
The track count's now up to 17,195, and the unique song count is 12,806.


last friday, i was caught speeding.
the officer give me the ticket for doing 105 in a 50 zone. and got my car impound and license suspend 7 days. but once i got my car back i went back to the road i got caught and found out the speed limit is 60 it means no license suspend and no impound. how do a fight for this ticket? and i actually paid for the impound fee and tow truck fee for 750. will they dismiss the ticket. or get my impound fee back?
You won't be able to appeal the suspension, but you can fight the ticket in court (or just speak with a prosecutor about it) and bring that up. That should be a strong mitigating factor.
You could also file a complaint with the police department about their error and see if they will rectify it by compensating you financially. If they don't, you could always sue for damages.
For this particular charge... a paralegal would be worthwhile seeking. You should be able to beat the stunt driving charge, however it still leaves the issue of speeding 105 in a 60 zone. I'd suggest taking photographs of the area where you were caught, showing the signage, etc. Also check under this forum's section "Courts and Procedure," and look at the thread Guidelines for Submitting Photographs.

by Stef "Lilithia"
Based on the 1994 iconic Australian film of the same name, Muriel's Wedding the Musical has taken to the stage for its Melbourne debut in 2019. With its book by PJ Hogan (the same brain who wrote and directed the movie), the show is directed by Simon Phillips and contains original music and lyrics penned by Kate Miller-Heidke and Keir Nuttall, as well as some songs by ABBA who were essential to Muriel's journey in the original film.
Like the movie, the stage production revolves around title character, Muriel Heslop who lives in Porpoise Spit in Queenland, is a wallflower, lacks any real friends, doesn't fit in with her siblings, is constantly called 'useless' by her father and longs to get married because it's all she's ever dreamed of. Despite being a talented liar, it is hard not to root for Muriel because she only wants to better her life. Natalie Abbott is the perfect Muriel Heslop, portraying the character as sweet, adorable, dorky and lovable despite her wrong-doings. I was also very enchanted by Abbott's beautiful voice to the point I found it very difficult to fathom that this is Abbott's professional debut.
Accompanying Natalie Abbott on stage is Stefanie Jones as Muriel's best friend, Rhonda Epinstall. For the stage, Rhonda has had a makeover, still ever the rebel but with a punky pink hairdo. Stefanie Jones has wonderful chemistry with Natalie Abbott and their characters really do feel like fast friends in their fun number of ABBA's "Waterloo". But it is when they sing their duet "Amazing", you really start to feel warm and fuzzy feelings and wish nothing bad will happen to either of the characters, even with the profanity dropped in the heartwarming ballad (which was refreshingly great, actually).
As the show progresses, the story expands and differs from the film. For example, it was very confusing trying to figure out what time and era the musical is set in. In the movie, the film is set in the 90's and with the costuming and fashion on-stage, it still feels like the 90's. However, the song number "Can't Hang" despite being really catchy, threw me. The four evil girls lead by Tania Degano played by Christie Whelan Browne suddenly start singing about hashtags, Taylor Swift and constantly refer to internet slang. So, is Porpoise Spit supposed to be some crazy time warp where everyone is backwards despite Muriel's father singing about "Progress"? Probably, but it isn't really clear. But before you can question any further, the show surprises you with more changes from the film, but changes that I can understand and agree with. I thoroughly enjoyed the character Brice Nobes having a bigger role in the show to the point of having his own song "Never Stick Your Neck Out" in which Brice tries to decide on whether to text Muriel or not after their awkward first date. Every time Jarrod Griffiths came on stage as Brice, I couldn't stop smiling.
While Muriel still does meet a foreign wannabe Australian Olympic swimmer, the fierce South African swimmer David Van Arkle from the film has been replaced. In the musical we meet ambitious Russian swimmer, Alexander Shkuratov played by Stephen Madsen who is hilariously fantastic in a Russian inspired number, "Mr and Mrs Shkuratov" where Muriel and Alexander commit to marriage so that Alexander can be an Australian citizen to excel his career, and Muriel can get the elaborate wedding she's always wanted.
The musical makes excellent use of ABBA by not only playing and making reference to their songs, but actually have the band ABBA pop-up in many scenes. Despite being imaginary, the band accompany and converse with both Muriel and her mother Betty Heslop played by Pippa Grandison. Although mostly fun, the film changes moods drastically in ABBA song, "SOS". Betty Heslop converses with the band and the scene transition to "My Mother" with the Heslop siblings is actually genius, heartbreaking and left me sobbing.
Muriel's Wedding the Musical has more depth than its film counterpart; more highs and more lows. Muriel seems more real, relatable, aware of her actions, her consequences and is more self-reflecting than she ever was on-screen. Despite the show confusing me with its 90's costumes and references to social media (which is forgivable given the storyline), the musical has a very important message of self-love and authenticity that many of all ages can learn from. And despite these small tweaks, the production flows well, with the story progressing naturally. Yes, it is imperative to see the film before seeing this show, but with beautiful original music and lyrics and a clever use of ABBA, Muriel's Wedding is a solid musical, one of the best Australian musicals I have ever seen and is a must see for all film fans and theatre goers alike. I honestly wish it all the success (hopefully internationally) and I hope I can see it again soon before it leaves Melbourne in June.
Muriel's Wedding the Musical is currently playing at Her Majesty's Theatre in Melbourne. Tickets are available now through Ticketek but final tickets have been released, so act fast.

The Making of Legends
September 2, 2016 /0 Comments/in Practices for Professionals /by Hank Moore+
I have written several books, on business, entertainment, history and pop culture. The Legends series is an amalgamation of all of them.
My four Legends books include "Pop Icons and Business Legends," "The Classic Television Reference," "Houston Legends" and "Non-Profit Legends." This series will have three more to come.
Most people are more products of pop culture than they are of training. Business dilemmas, solutions and analyses are framed first in the field of reference (pop culture teachings of their youth) and then reframed in modern business context.
Working with companies, I have realized that presenting organizational strategies as an extension of previously-held pop-culture values gets more understanding, comprehension, attention and support.
Most leaders of today's corporations grew up in the 1950s-1980s. I have conducted countless strategy meetings where leaders cannot articulate business philosophies, but they can accurately recite lyrics from "golden oldie" song hits, TV trivia and advertising jingles.
Being one of the rare senior business advisors who is equally versed in pop culture, I found that bridging known avenues with current realities resulted in fully articulated corporate visions. Many a Strategic Plan was written by piecing together song fragments, nostalgic remembrances and movie scenarios, then were aptly converted into contemporary corporate nomenclature.
When we recall the messages of the songs, movies and books of the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, we realize that today's adults were formerly taught in their youths to:
Think Big Picture.
Conceptualize your own personal goals.
Understand conflicting societal goals.
Fit your dreams into the necessities and realities of the real world.
Find your own niche, do your thing.
Do something well and commit to long-term excellence.
Seek truths in unusual and unexpected sources.
Share your knowledge, and learn further by virtue of mentoring others.
How individuals and organizations start out and what they become are different concepts. Mistakes, niche orientation and lack of planning lead businesses to failure. Processes, trends, fads, perceived stresses and "the system" force adults to make compromises in order to proceed. Often, a fresh look at their previous knowledge gives renewed insight to today's problems, opportunities and solutions.
I developed the concept of integrating Pop Culture Wisdom with management training and business planning over the last 40 years. It all started by teaching The History of Rock & Roll Music when I was in graduate school back in 1971. Fancy the concept of analyzing a recent time frame (the 1950s and 1960s) as social studies.
From 1958-1982, I produced many entertainment documentaries for radio, comprising anthologies of pop music. I emceed concerts with stars like Elvis Presley, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Little Richard, Kenny Rogers, The Beach Boys, Roy Orbison, Simon & Garfunkel, Nelson Riddle, Dionne Warwick and Andre Previn. I have produced videos with stars from Audrey Hepburn to Vincent Price, plus television public service announcements. That was another lifetime ago.
For the longest time, I didn't let my business clients know about my years as a radio DJ, status as a musicologist and experiences in pioneering radio's "golden oldie show" formats. I didn't think that it lent credibility to wise business insights. However, years of experiences with corporate leaders made me come full circle and start integrating pop culture lingo into the conversations, consultations and planning processes.
All business leaders agreed that no road map was laid out for them. Executives amassed knowledge "in the streets," through non-traditional sources. Few lessons made sense at the time and, thus, did not sink in. When repackaged years later, executives vigorously enjoyed the rediscovery process. The previously overlooked became sage wisdom. Knowledge they were not ready to receive as youngsters before became crystal clear in later times.
Reasons for Caring, Giving and Serving Others
I got into volunteering and community service at an early age. I found it heartening to be a good citizen and that community stewardship made me a better professional.
I have worked with more than 1,500 non-profit, public sector, and non-governmental entities over many decades. I interfaced with many on behalf of corporate clients. I conducted independent performance reviews of many. I served on boards of directors, search committees, awards panels, review boards and task forces for many. I have spoken at conferences, strategic planning retreats, symposia, workshops and board meetings for hundreds.
Non-profit organizations are the backbone of modern society. Every individual and business should support one or many. All of us are recipients of their services, community goodwill and worthwhile objectives.
There has never been a full-scope book on non-profit service. There have been books on fundraising and some articles on volunteer management and the business aspects of running non-profit organizations.
My "Non-Profit Legends" book covers everything non-profit, including such topics that have never appeared in an internationally published edition, such as:
Public service announcements.
Categories of non-profit organizations (my own creation).
The history of volunteering and community service, spanning 300 years. This parallels a chapter in my previous book, "Pop Icons and Business Legends," where I covered a 400-year history of business.
Strategic planning, how-to instructions.
Pop culture influences of non-profit icons, events and campaigns.
Communications programs for NPOs.
Quotes on community stewardship, leadership and related topics.
Understanding your true service.
Here is what I wish to inspire via this book:
Motivate NPOs to be unique, true to purpose and make differences.
Encourage dialog on a Big Picture approach to non-profits.
Inspire new dimensions to corporate philanthropy.
Amplify discussions on community standards and ethics.
Encourage greater collaboration and partnerships.
Inspire a non-profit awards recognition program.
Inspire more non-profit presence on the internet.
Inspire more young people into community service.
Enlighten international audiences on Western world philanthropy tenets.
Here are the "heart and soul" reasons for being engaged in humanitarian service:
Being good citizens
Volunteering, as time permits and worthy causes appear
Business supporting communities
Non-profit organizations operating more business-like
Finding one's passion
Working together with others
Exemplifying ethical behavior
Potlache: feeling happy and rewarded when serving others is appreciated
Sharing talents and skills
Innovating programs, strategies and methodologies
Recognizing and celebrating service
Honoring our elders
Involving young people in the lifelong quest toward community service
Diversity of society is reflected in service
Interfacing with others
Enlightening others
Inspiring the next generation
Creating new constituencies
Re-involving those who have given, volunteered and participated in the past
Understanding the relationship of causes to quality of life
It's good for business
It's the right thing to do
Community events are fun and entertaining
Knowledge is transferable from community service to family and business
Injects heart and soul into yourself and your stakeholders
Leaders exemplify legendary behavior
Serving the under-served
Predicting new community needs
Benefiting humanity
Fostering respect
Communicating and developing people skills

Office Depot, Staples CEOs to testify in FTC case challenging merger
By Marcia Heroux Pounds
Sun Sentinel |
Office Depot CEO Roland Smith and Staples CEO Ron Sargent are scheduled to testify this week in Washington, D.C., in the Federal Trade Commission's court challenge to Staples' $6.3 billion acquisition of Office Depot.
Court documents show Smith and Sargent as the last two witnesses on the list this week in U.S. District Court before Judge Emmet G. Sullivan. Also testifying will be Shira Goodman, president of North American Operations for Staples.
Staples and Office Depot, which employs about 2,000 at its headquarters in Boca Raton, are battling to complete the acquisition that Office Depot shareholders approved last May. The FTC voted in December to oppose the merger, saying it would harm competition and drive up prices for bulk purchasers of office supplies.
Staples and Office Depot contend their merger will save money as they face growing competition from Amazon and discount retailers. In an effort analysts say is meant to address the FTC's concerns, the companies have offered to transfer $550 million in large company contracts to Illinois wholesaler Essendant.
The FTC has said the transfer doesn't go far enough to allow Essendant to compete with Staples and Office Depot, which together would control the bulk office-supply market.

Stock in both companies has jumped since the court case began March 21, an indication that investors are optimistic the merger will go through. Staples closed Tuesday at $11.10, up 11 percent in that time. Office Depot closed at $7.59, up 32 percent.
Both stocks surged Thursday after U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan criticized the FTC for trying to elicit false information from an Amazon.com executive to bolster its case.

On Tuesday, the New York Post, quoting anonymous sources, reported that the two companies could be on the brink of winning their case. The Post said the judge would entertain a motion from Staples' legal team to dismiss the case once the FTC concludes its arguments this week.

If the merger is completed, Smith would receive compensation totaling $46.78 million. He was named CEO of Office Depot in November 2013. In total, Office Depot's top executives would receive $85 million.
Sargent would continue as CEO of the combined operation, which he has said would be headquartered out of Framingham, Mass. That would mean a loss of a top headquarters company in Palm Beach County and could result in major layoffs.
Staples expects a decision from Judge Sullivan on the FTC's request for a preliminary injunction to stop the merger from proceeding by May 10. The companies agreed to extend their merger agreement until May 16.

Browse our Foldable Solar Panel Chart to find the Right Solution for Your Trip
Picking a solar panel can be a tough choice, especially if you are unfamiliar with your options. One common misconception is that all solar panels are heavy and bulky. While that may have been true 15 years ago, that's certainly not true today. With all of the advances in technology, its no wonder that solar cells have become more efficient and panels have become smaller and lighter. Renogy carries many different solar panels, and we're sure you can find one to meet your needs and budget. Whether you're docking, traveling, or just winding down in the yard, there's a panel for you.
Rigid/Suitcase
Renogy carries three kinds of foldable solar panels: rigid/suitcase-style, rigid, and flexible. Rigid suitcase-style solar panels are perfect for RV docking, as they are a bit heavier and bulkier than the flexible panels, though they are still easily portable and designed for frequent storage. These panels fold to close, and include comfortable carrying handles. Renogy also understands that repeatedly setting up camp can be inconvenient, so they designed the solar suitcases to include built-in stands so the panels can be tilted toward the sunlight. After the panel is done being used, it can be folded and placed in a storage compartment or closet. The solar suitcases come with protective carrying cases and may also include a built-in charge controller. All solar suitcases weigh under 33.6lbs.
Rigid/Non-Folding
Renogy rigid solar panels cannot be folded or bent and are generally designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation. Although all of the rigid panels include lightweight aluminum frames, they are still generally heavier than their foldable and flexible counterparts. Due to the larger size, they are more difficult to store and move, and you must bring your own stands to ensure that the panels are properly placed. The 100W Monocrystalline Solar Panels are a favorite for mounting to RV and van rooftops, and they can even be affixed to, or positioned next to a cabin. With the rigid panels, you can choose between monocrystalline and polycrystalline, as well as what charge controller you'd prefer (sold separately, unless in a kit). What's truly great about using the rigid panels is that you can design your entire system from scratch, depending on power requirements. In sum, these panels are great for permanent installation and long-term camping.
The Renogy Flexible Solar Panel line is relatively new, but incredibly popular among camping enthusiasts. Perhaps it's no wonder why these panels are so loved: even the 160W Flex Panel weighs only 6.2lbs, which makes these panels the lightest and most versatile of them all. Like all other panels, the Flex products include a junction box with MC4 leads, and they are wired in the same way as all other panels. Since these panels have laminated cells, there is no risk of glass shattering or cracking. They can even flex up to 248 degrees, making them great for irregular and rounded surfaces (think airstreams). Another great feature is that the entire power system can be customized with various wiring and a charge controller of choice. So far, Renogy carries the 50W and 100W Flexible Eclipse Solar Panels, both of which fold shut and include convenient carrying handles. When folded, the 100W Flexible Eclipse measures in at 21.5'x21.5', making it the smallest and lightest, though it has the same efficiency as its rigid suitcase counterpart.
We're always looking to meet customer needs. If you are looking for a panel that we do not carry, we'd love to get your input. Please reach out to our sales or engineering team so we could assist you further.

New York Islanders co-owner

They qualified for the postseason in 2002, 2003 and 2004 - thanks to his willingness in letting the front office spending more money when it was necessary. via SportsnetThe franchise faced an uncertain future for a decade, due to financial and attendance problems and the fact its lease ended with the Nassau Coliseum in 2015. But Wang worked extensively and got the Islanders a home at the Barclays Center, where they have played ever since.

Malkin. It was later reported that those two would move into majority ownership, which happened in 2016.Wang worked hard and passionately to revive an Isles' franchise that struggled throughout the '90s and most of the 2000s. There were some fine moments under his ownership, and perhaps the franchise wouldn't have lasted in New York without his efforts.Charles Wang was 74.

They're tough to find."Drake Caggiula and Alex Chiasson also scored for Edmonton, which has won five of its last six. McDavid and Jujhar Khaira had two assists each and Mikko Koskinen made 23 saves."It was a pretty exciting night for him and his teammates," Oilers coach Todd McLellan said of Brodziak.McDavid has five goals and five assists for 10 points during his run.Jacob de la Rose, defenseman Danny DeKeyser and Tyler Bertuzzi scored for Detroit, which had won three straight.

What is MSG?
You may have heard of MSG, perhaps you even know some foods that contain it, but do you know what MSG really is, we're here to explain it!
MSG are the initials for the food additive monosodium glutamate. More specifically, MSG is a sodium salt of the amino acid L-glutamic. Abundant in nature, glutamic acid is made by the body existing as a free glutamate or with other amino acids, to make proteins.
When did we start using MSG?
MSG's history as a flavour enhancer began over 1,200 years ago in Japan when it was discovered that food flavours were enhanced by adding stock made with seaweed. Seaweed contains glutamate. Other foods that contain natural glutamate (or free glutamate) include vegemite, ham and some vegetables including cabbage and tomatoes.
Eventually, this acid was isolated in the early 1900's, and added to packaged foods for flavour enhancement. Glutamate based flavour enhancers have code numbers (found on ingredient labels) 620-625. MSG is 621. While products may be labelled MSG free, they may still contain other glutamate based flavour enhancers.
Is MSG safe to eat?
Safety concerns about MSG were raised when in 1968 Dr Robert Kwok, a Chinese doctor living in the United States, wrote to the New England Journal of medicine describing symptoms he'd experienced after eating Chinese food. He labelled this "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome". Since then MSG has been blamed for food reactions and allergies. However, Australian food standards declare it to be safe for consumption.
While the average person will consume approximately 10,000-20,000 milligrams of free glutamates from their diet each day, MSG has levels of glutamate between 100-800 milligrams per 100grams of food. There appears to be lack of substantiating evidence proving that MSG can spur allergic reactions; however it is generally known that some people are sensitive to it and are better off avoiding foods containing MSG, the food additive. This particularly relates to children, because their small bodies can be more vulnerable to certain chemical compounds.

WENEG (dinastia a II-a)

Numele de domnie: Weneg. Variantă fonetizată: Uneg.
Numele grec: Tlas(Manethon, Fr.8).

	După opinia lui T. Wilkinson, moartea faraonului *Ninetjer a adâncit și mai mult criza dinastiei a II-a. Judecând după aria de răspândire geografică a documentelor descoperite, unii specialiști sunt de părere că urmașii lui *Ninetjer ar fi domnit numai în Egiptul de Jos. Într-adevăr, numele faraonului Weneg nu apare înafara zonei Saqqara, cel puțin pe baza descoperirilor de până acum.
	Weneg este considerat al 4-lea faraon al dinastiei a II-a. Numele său Horus nu este încă cunoscut, în schimb Weneg este și numele-nebti al suveranului. Din acest motiv, anumiți egiptologi, cum ar fi J. von Beckerath sau Th. Schneider, au redat numele domnitorului prin com-binația fonetică Wenegnebti.
	În Epoca dinastică timpurie numele de domnie(nesuti-biti "rege dual") este scris prin intermediul semnului hieroglific al floarei, citit la origine wng(weneg). Această variantă apare în cazul acelor inscripții(7 la număr) care apar pe vasele descoperite lângă piramida în trepte a lui *Djoser, apoi pe 3 farfurii provenite din mormântul S3014 din aceeași localitate și o altă inscripție de proveniență incertă.
	Ulterior, scribii Epocii Imperiului, care au confundat semnul floarei cu cel al papirusului(wadj), au optat pentru un nume nou: Wadj-nes "Cel cu limba sănătoasă", tradusă în greacă prin ougot-las, de unde și varianta lui Manethon. Lista regală de la Abydos(Nr.12), Lista regală de la Saqqara(nr.6) și poate și Canonul Regal din Torino(II.23) au înregistrat această variantă a numelui. Trebuie remarcat faptul că asemenea "rebotezări" sunt destul de frecvente în documentele Imperiului, prin intermediul lor creându-se faraoni inexistenți sau cel puțin cu nume neatestate în perioadele anterioare.
	După cum am observat, ceea ce am aflat până acum despre "domnia" acestui personaj este legat de variantele grafice și fonetice ale numelor sale. Pentru a mări incertitudinea referitoare la Weneg se mai poate adăuga faptul că anumiți egiptologi au încercat să-l asocieze sau să-l identifice cu un alt faraon. De exemplu: pentru W. Barta, Weneg-Wadjnes este una și aceeași persoană cu *Sekhemib, iar pentru J. Kahl faraonul în discuție este identic cu Raneb(o altă modalitate de citire a numelui *Nebre).
	Mormântul lui Weneg nu a fost încă descoperit. După unii egiptologi ar fi fost cel însușit de către Merineith-Merire(dinastia a XVIII-a), după alții mormântul S3014 din aceeași localitate, adică Saqqara.
