Your child should be naturally proud of his or her smile. It expresses joy, laughter, and fun! To make sure your child has a healthy and appealing smile, start early. Really early.
Doctor Larry Johnson recommends that you bring your child in for their first dental visit soon after their first birthday. An early check is the first step in preventing issues and setting the stage for lifelong dental health. Doctor Johnson will keep the visit short, but carry out a thorough visual examination to make sure there are no concerns.
Doctor Johnson will counsel you on good dental procedures at home, such as correct brushing and flossing. You will also be guided regarding healthy eating choices and the impact of poor choices. It is especially important to keep your toddler from eating sticky or hard candies that lodge in molars and spaces between teeth. It is also important to monitor the amount of juice they drink and keep it in a cup instead of a bottle.
Any time sugary foods or drinks are in contact with teeth, the enamel is weakened from the acid those substances contain. Prolonged exposure begins to wear the enamel away, setting the stage for cavities. Unlike broken bones that regenerate, once enamel is gone, it's essentially gone, though fluoride can remineralize weakened enamel to a small degree.
Before coming to Cornertown Dentistry in Anytown, speak with your child about the upcoming appointment and let them know that their teeth are going to be checked. Dr. Johnson will help your child feel proud of their effort and help them have a positive visit, the first of many to come.
Call Dr. Johnson at 801.938.3466 to schedule an appointment. Remember also to call any time between scheduled visits with any questions or concerns that might arise. We are committed to your child's lifelong dental health.
Dr. Johnson serves many families in the Salt Lake City area with proficiency and compassion. Some of our patients come from Provo, St. George, and Moab. At Cornertown Dentistry, we love working with children and will help your child have a pleasing experience learning to care for their teeth.

World leaders pay tribute as nation falls silent to mark 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War
World leaders come together in a poignant video message giving thanks to all those who served
The Red Arrows will conduct flypasts over Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff and will conclude their UK tour over London's Royal Hospital Chelsea
Images of veterans will be projected on video screens across the nation
UK will fall silent at 11am and Union flags will fly at full mast
As the nation falls silent to remember the end of the Second World War, world leaders will give thanks to all those who served as part of a poignant video message commissioned by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
The Friendship of Nations will see world leaders including the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, Malawian President, Lazarus Chakwera, Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, and US President, Donald Trump thanking veterans.
As well as world leaders, members of the Royal Family and the Prime Minister will pay tribute at a series of events to mark the anniversary. His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales will lead a national moment of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. As part of the UK's commemoration event, the Prime Minister will read the Exhortation ahead of a national two minute silence.
His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge will feature in a special programme broadcast on BBC One, and pay tribute to all those who sacrificed so much during the Second World War.
His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will feature, alongside other veterans, on a number of large screens across the UK including the Piccadilly Curve and National Rail stations in a photomontage showing veterans during their time in service and as they are now.
In the first such flight since the 2012 London Olympic and Paralympic Games, The Red Arrows will conduct a specially designed UK wide flypast tribute over Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff and London with its path including The Royal Hospital Chelsea, home to three Burma Star recipients.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:
"On this 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, we pay tribute to the heroes deployed thousands of miles away in the mountains, islands and rainforests of Asia.
"Unable to celebrate the victory in Europe, and among the last to return home, today we recognise the bravery and ingenuity of those who, in the face of adversity, restored peace and prosperity to the world.
"Their immeasurable sacrifice changed the course of history and at today's commemorations, we take the opportunity to say what should be said every day – thank you."
Secretary of State for Scotland Alister Jack said:
"Today marks the 75th anniversary of VJ day, and our thoughts are with all those who made such huge sacrifices to secure our country's freedom. Finally, the war was really over.
"But the war in Japan was brutal, and many of those who returned were never able to speak about their experiences. The courage of those who fought and endured, so we are able to live freely, must never be forgotten.
"Today, we remember them, we honour them, and we thank them."
Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said:
"Today we remember all those who served in the Second World War as we mark the 75th anniversary of the peace they secured.
"We must not forget the millions of men, women and children who were drawn into this terrible conflict. I want to call on everyone, wherever you are, to join us in giving thanks to the veterans who came home with the burdens of war on their shoulders, and to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
"Our commemorations today are with our nation's deepest gratitude for the freedoms they won us."
"VJ Day is sometimes seen as the forgotten victory, but this year, on its 75th anniversary, our celebrations are rightly focused on paying special tribute to the Greatest Generation and their service and sacrifice in the Far East.
"These commemorations have been specially designed to include our veterans and pay tribute to the wartime generation as much as possible despite these challenging times.
"The number of veterans still able to share these moments with us may become fewer each year, but our gratitude to them remains undiminished.
"As the Second World War recedes from living memory, our responsibility to educate future generations about the conflict is more important than ever. Today, I will be thinking of the unique hardships faced by those who served, and thanking them for all they did for us."

Supreme Court Decides Landmark Google v. Oracle Case On Copyright, Interoperable Tech Products
Washington — The Supreme Court has issued its ruling in the Google v. Oracle copyright case, which has been litigated for more than a decade. The outcome, which has sweeping implications for the tech industry, means the reuse of certain program elements necessary for interoperability is fair use and not an infringement of copyright law.
The Justices were asked to decide whether Google violated copyright by using less than 0.5% of the Java application programming interface (API) in Android so that Java programmers could more easily write apps for Android smartphones.
The Computer & Communications Industry Association has advocated in favor of interoperability for decades and filed an amicus brief in this Supreme Court case last year, as well as several other briefs in earlier stages of the case, compiled on our resource page here. The following can be attributed to CCIA President Matt Schruers:
"After more than a decade of litigation this ruling is a win for interoperability, copyright principles and the future of innovation. The high court's decision that fair use extends to the functional principles of computer code means companies can offer competing, interoperable products."

Rev. Mr. James M. Boland, of St. Bernadette Parish in Northborough, is also expecting family members and other special guests at his ordination. His mother, Virginia (Cole) Boland, said that those planning to attend include her and her husband, Thomas, and their other son, Michael, all of Northborough, and daughter, Sister Pio Maria of the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist in Ann Arbor, Mich. Scheduled to join her are two of her order's foundresses, Mother Mary Assumpta and Sister Joseph Andrew.
Everyone is welcome to attend the ordination Mass, and a public reception for the new priests afterwards in the cenacle in the cathedral's lower level.
The Mass is to be broadcast on Charter TV 3 at 1 p.m. June 8 and 10 a.m. June 11. It will also to be available for viewing at www.worcesterdiocese.org or www.Vimeo.com/dioceseofworcester.

On Nov. 9, the Cameron men's basketball team took Newman 103-69 in the CU home opener.
According to junior guard Johann Tate, the home opener was a success for the team, setting a tone they'll be able to carry throughout the season.
In the first half of the game, Cameron took a 17 point lead over Newman, outscoring them 54-37, while shooting 52 percent from the floor and going 7-14 from three point range.
In the early part of the second half, Newman came on strong in an attempt to push back against the Aggies, but fell by 17 points as Cameron hit their stride, taking the game in a blowout win, 103-69.
Junior forward Marshawn Blackmon lead Newman with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while senior guard Dametrius Walker came in behind Blackmon with 16, followed by Juwan Davenport who had 11. Newman shot 38 percent from the floor and hit four of their 23 three point attempts as a team.
Tate lead Cameron with 19 points while going 8-10 from the free throw line, followed by senior guard Zach Dumas who chipped in 16 points on 8-11 from the charity stripe and Tyus Momoh went 3-3 and scored 12 points.
Freshman forward Dalton Vinson recorded a double-double with 15 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks, and junior guard Jordan Lewis had 12 points, going 6-6 from the free throw line.
Tate said hopes that students will continue to come to games as men's basketball gets further into the season.
Head men's basketball coach Andrew Brown echoed Tate's sentiment.
The Cameron men's basketball team will play their next game at 7 p.m. on Nov. 20 in the Aggie Gym against Dallas Baptist University.

Gluttony. The two weeks since Wellington on a Plate (WOAP) began have been glorious gluttony.
As Chief Burger Officer (CBO) of The New Zealand Initiative I was tasked with tasting and reviewing a sample of the multitude of burgers for Burger Wellington as well as investigate the burger economy.
Across all my years of WOAP and Burger Wellington, this year has been the best, not because of the overall quality of burgers I ate, but because of my experience and participation within the burger community and burger market.
Don't get me wrong, the burgers this year have been sublime, it's the first year I've given a burger a perfect 10/10. But what really got me this year was the power of the burger market, and how it can lead to optimal burger consumption when you have more information.
The greatest contributing factor to this emerging market has been the 'Burger Wellington – WOAP' Facebook page. Here, fellow burger lovers and connoisseurs can share reviews of their best and worst burgers during WOAP.
The result is a market moving towards perfect information and an excellent example of an economic market that knows more than the individuals that make it up.
Without this shared knowledge you would have a difficult task of navigating your way around the 180 options available to you.
Unfortunately, where there is a market there can also be market inefficiencies, especially when there's a burger price ceiling.
Both surprisingly and unsurprisingly, I experienced a burger shortage, or if you err on the side of the dramatic, a burger crisis. At the end of the first week I found myself waiting in line for the 'Brewed to the Bone' burger from Wilson Barbecue @ The Third Eye.
While in line, me and fellow burger connoisseurs gushed over our favourite burgers, as well as discouraged others from our worse ones.
We also pondered why, with a line this long, there wasn't a black market for burgers appearing.
What was stopping some enterprising salesman at the front of the que from selling his burger to hungry individuals at the back of the line for a higher price?
Was the threat of punishment from fellow burger lovers too high, or was the burger so good that it wasn't worth selling for any amount of money?
I just missed out, so I can't tell you if the burger was worth it, all I could taste was the deadweight loss from missing out.


John and Margarita Gaberino could tell Margarita's mother was worried. It was 2001, and she'd come up from El Salvador to visit them in their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma-and also, it seemed, to relay some bad news. The family coffee farm, which had been started in 1870 by Margarita's great-great-grandfather, was faltering. A global coffee glut had caused prices to drop to the point that it cost more money to produce a pound of coffee than a Salvadoran farmer could earn by selling it. Coffee plantations across El Salvador had been selling out or firing employees to cut costs. Margarita's mother couldn't bear to do either.
"We were sitting on the couch one night talking about it into the late hours," recalls John. The problem, they decided, was the middleman: Coffee could still be a profitable crop if they could sell it more directly to American consumers instead of to mills that sold it to importers that sold it to roasters. Margarita's brother, Emilio López Díaz, had already started to set up a mill on the farm. John, meanwhile, was halfway through attaining his MBA at Oklahoma State University. "The next week I went to my MBA classes and got permission to do an independent study and very quickly hit the road," he says.
So in order to sell the good stuff himself, he needed to learn. He attended SCAA seminars and flew down to El Salvador to see the coffee being grown. He went to conferences. He joined the Roasters Guild. "I ended up spending three to four years just developing my own knowledge base and learning about the market and the chemistry," he says.
At the same time, he needed to educate Tulsa, a city without much experience with quality coffee. "I realized I had to be a salesman," he says. He persuaded a local gourmet grocery store to let him set up a kiosk selling Topéca Coffee. (The name came from Margarita's childhood nickname.) "We were working from 6 in the morning to 10 at night-mostly John-and giving every customer our story," says Margarita, who spent much of those early years home raising their two children, Isabella and Matthew, now 8 and 5, respectively.
Lola Palazzo remembers meeting John at the kiosk shortly after she'd moved to Tulsa five years ago. "I was totally impressed," she says. "I'd worked with Susan Ohori in Santa Fe, and she'd learned how to roast coffee at Peet's in San Francisco. And he made me a coffee and I thought, 'Wow, this is amazing.' " When Palazzo opened her own restaurant, Lola's at the Bowery, in 2004, she picked Topéca as her coffee supplier.
She wasn't alone. John had been dutifully pounding the pavement, getting his coffee sold in local groceries, served at local restaurants and supplied to local offices. Some people were wooed by the taste, others by the fact that Gaberino was a local boy, the son of a prominent attorney. Still others liked the fact that their money was going directly to the farmers planting and harvesting the coffee.
Both John and Emilio López Díaz had grown more experienced in making coffee, and now that they could roast their beans freshly as needed, the quality of their end product rose dramatically. They created their own single-origin espresso-something still a rarity at that time. And they began garnering attention outside of Tulsa. In 2006, Topéca was a finalist in the El Savador's Cup of Excellence coffee competition. The next year, the company was one of three semi-finalists for Roast Magazine's Roaster of the Year-and was again in 2008.
In El Salvador, where most coffee plantations pay migrant workers a barely living wage to pick coffee seasonally, Topéca maintains a staff of some 40 full-time employees who receive both healthcare and salaries 10 to 15 percent above the industry average. They're also cross-trained, which means that the person who picks the beans often has a full understanding of the washing and drying processes, as well. The company supports its local schools and has funded the college education of one of its employees. It's a major contributor to Libras de Amor, a nonprofit providing nutrition and healthcare in rural El Salvador.
Mostly, they want to make sure a fifth-generation business makes it to the sixth generation. As to that, things are looking hopeful. "Our son said just the other day that he wants to be a roaster when he grows up," says Margarita.
Joe Carroll's recipe for wine-bottle sauce is absurdly easy (and fun) to make.

Q: AWS: Redirect one subdomain to another (http and https) During a production launch I need one subdomain, beta.foo.bar.com, to begin redirecting all requests to foo.bar.com.
AWS suggests using an S3 bucket set up for static website hosting and configured to redirect all requests to another domain.  This works fine for http, but https requests to beta.foo.bar.com time out since S3 cannot seem to handle https.
Both DNS records are A Aliases to CloudFront distributions which in turn have their own CNAME records that ultimately point to ELBs. This was set up by someone who's now gone and I confess I don't yet know enough about CloudFront distributions/origins. Is there some possible combination of CloudFront distribution/origin/CNAME that can handle http, https, and redirection?
Note: The app itself can receive http but rewrites to https with an ebextension; it may be possible to make the redirect happen there but I'd much prefer to resolve it on AWS.

A: I don't like to use too much fancy AWS trickery, so I'd just setup an ALB (and have it do HTTPS) and then setup EC2 instances in an ASG with a tiny static nginx config that redirected to the other domain.  The benefit of this approach is that it applies almost without modification to any other cloud provider out there, for when something else is determined to be the new hawtness next year.
If you're determined to go all-AWS, though, IIRC the preferred approach for SSL-in-front-of-S3 is to have the SSL done by CloudFront, which points to an S3 bucket, which then would presumably do the redirect.  I've never tried it, so maybe CloudFront will eat the redirect or do something else unhelpful, but it's probably worth a shot.

A: This is very simple to implement.

*

*For CloudFront, make sure the SSL certificate that you are using has both domain names. If not, regenerate it and attach to both CloudFront distributions.

*Wait while CloudFront reconfigures itself.

*Retest that both domains still work correctly.

*In Route 53 (or your DNS provider) change the ALIAS record for beta.foo.bar.com to point to the CloudFront distribution for foo.bar.com

DNS will take a while for the world to update their records (numerous DNS server do not follow TTL if it is set short) so plan ahead.
Test from another system that has never been to either of your domain names and verify that everything works while DNS updates globally.

A: Thanks all f or the help. Turns out this is exceedingly simple.  All I had to do was, in beta.foo's CloudFront distribution, add the redirecting S3 bucket as an origin, then edit the default behavior to use that origin instead of the ELB endpoint.  No need to change DNS or even force http->https in CloudFront.  The redirect took effect immediately even while CloudFront was re-deploying.

After The Fact: Dirk Nowitzki's Last-Second Shot Gets Dallas The Win Over NJ

Box Score Here
Dirk Nowitzki had a really bad shooting night. He went 7-24 from the field, but still managed to lead the Mavericks in scoring with 24 points. The two most important points he made came with six seconds left in the game, when Dallas was down one point to the New Jersey Nets. He hit one of his weirdly angled jumpers that bounced and rolled around the rim... and fell in. That shot would be the game-winner, giving the Mavericks win number 28 over the Nets, 87-86.
Just behind Dirk in scoring was Tyson Chandler, who tied his season-high with 19 points, but his missed free throw with under a minute to play could have really saved us all a lot of angst. Shawn Marion led the team in rebounds with 11, but no one could match the great Kris Humphries' 15 boards for the Nets. Sidenote, Jose Barea went 2-3 from three-point land. He finished with eight points, three assists... and three turnovers.
Jason Terry was the only other Maverick in double digits with 11 points. The team shot an abysmal 34.7% from the field against a team they should have beaten by double digits. The only truly impressive statistic was their free-throw shooting: Dallas went 27-29 from the line, which may have kept them in the game. They also managed 11 steals, with Chandler and Jason Kidd getting three each.
Let's not sugarcoat this victory. The Mavericks should have won by a lot more than they did, and they shot like poo. But a win is a win. Discuss.

Jos Crisis: Does the President Have Selective Appetite?
by Justine John Dyikuk
in Editors' Pick, Opinions, trending
"Remove Justice, and what are Kingdoms but Gangs of Criminals on a Large Scale" –
St. Augustine (354-430)
It has been widely reported that the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari could not eat after learning that some travelers were killed in Jos, the Plateau State Capital. In strong terms, the callous act is condemnable. No life must be taken on any account. Our hearts go to the families of the victims. We look forward to the arrest and prosecution of those who carried out the dastardly act.
While that is said, it is crucial for all stakeholders on the Plateau and indeed, Nigeria to return to the crime scene. In Africa, an elder does not sit and watch a goat deliver with a rope on its neck. In philosophy, the law of cause and effect helps people to arrive at root causes. A brief historical analysis of where and how it all began is crucial to this discussion. The question is, how and why is Plateau on the world map as a city in constant crisis?
Experts attribute these crises to the lack of organised religious and cultural traditions before and during the Jihad of Usman danFodio (1804). Apparently, this made Jos, the Plateau State capital a center of attraction. The central location, good weather, arable land (green vegetation), mountainous scenery, rich stable food and heartwarming nature of the people made the city a central point for proselytisation and establishment of new religious creeds.
For instance, Muslim reformers like the Izala arrived Jos in 1978 with Salafist religious ideology which promotes an orthodox form of Islam that emphasizes the Sunna and denounces the heterodox practices of the Sufis. The outcome was intolerance for divergent views, indoctrinating followers and hate-preaching. Although Muslims have always had a strong presence in Jos city, it took an orientation towards Christianity.
Christian missionaries who were equally attracted to Jos established their missionary enterprise hence the huge Christian population. Within this time, the city maintained a cosmopolitan nature. A culture of tolerance and social cohesion between adherents of Islam and Christianity was in place. Scholars opine that things soon changed due to religious competition, fundamentalism and assertiveness. It is instructive to note that crises have persisted in Jos city since 2001. By 2002, 2008 and 2010, crises reverberated outside the capital to rural areas. From 2001 to 2002 and 2010, hundreds of people mostly peasant farmers lost their lives in various villages while cultivating crops or rearing cattle.
To be fair to government, between 1997 and 2014, various Commissions of Inquiry (COI) have been set up at the state and federal levels to mitigate the crises. Notable among them are The Gen. Emmanuel Abisoye Presidential Panel (2009), The Justice Bola Ajibola Commission (2009), The Justice AribitonFiberesma COI (1994) and The Justice Niki Tobi COI (2001). Instead of the outcome of these COI to calm the situation of insecurity, they seemed counter-productive. Although the state was enjoying relative peace before the recent incidence, the situation can best be described as "disputed peace" since crises can erupt anytime.
The question is, what are the drivers of crises on the Plateau? A recent study titled "The Press Sectarian Crisis And Violence Against Women in Plateau State Nigeria A Critical Evaluation" which the writer co-authored with Moven and Dapoet (2021) disclosed land tussle between Indigenes (Farmers) and settlers (Herders), fears of religious, cultural and political domination, complicity in handling the conflict, retaliatory/reprisal attacks and hangover of military rule are responsible for these crises in the state.
Truth be told, herders have continued to attack about 54 villages in Bokkos, Riyom, BarkinLadi, Bassa, Jos South and Jos North Local Government Areas. In most cases, they sack rural communities, occupy the lands and rename those villages without been challenged. While members of these communities who have lost loved ones are wallowing in Internally Displaced Persons' camps, these "unknown gunmen" are busy cultivating in their lands and in some cases, living in their houses. As such, putting an end to these crises demands reparation and resettlement of victims to their homestead.
By the same token, government needs to demonstrate genuine concern for affected persons by carrying out an on-the-spot assessment through personal visits of the scenes by the Governor. Government must also remain proactive in ensuring the security of lives and property. It behooves on government and other spirited individuals like Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOS) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to provide relief materials to those affected by the crisis.
The families of those killed should be compensated with the assurance that such would not occur in the future. This would boost the confidence of the people. Security agencies and vigilante groups must be on top of their game. All citizens must refrain from politicizing peace and security issues. Academics and researchers are encouraged to conduct field research on the remote and immediate causes of the crises with robust recommendations and submit same to government for onward implementation.
Peace can only thrive in an atmosphere of justice and equity. Justice for both parties – perpetrators and victims shows that what is good for the goose is good for the gander. President Buhari should extend his appetite for good governance and security of lives and livelihoods to all. It was St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430) who said "Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale? What are criminal gangs but petty kingdoms? A gang is a group of men under the command of a leader, bound by a compact of association, in which the plunder is divided according to an agreed convention."
Created out of the defunct Benue-Plateau State on February 3, 1976 by the Murtala Mohammed Regime, Plateau State has 17 Local Government Areas. It was originally called "Gwosh" but was purportedly wrongly pronounced "Jos" by Hausa settlers and traders. The name Jos-Plateau was given due to its mountainous rock formations. Jos is the source of many rivers in northern Nigeria like the Kaduna, Gongola, Hadejia and Yobe rivers.
It is known for tin mining activities which started in 1902 under the British colonialists which still persists till date. Plateau state has over 30 indigenous people who coexist peacefully with other tribes such as Hausa, Fulani, Igbo, Yoruba, Ijaw and Biniamongst others. Located in North Central Nigeria, Jos and the entire Plateau State has "Home of Peace and Tourism" as its motto. Residents must not allow escalating conflicts to ruin"Plateau the Beautiful." God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Well-known in Japan as being home to some of the country's warmest – and most passionate – people, Hiroshima gets kind of a bum rap in the outside world. Of course, being the first city in the history of mankind to be destroyed by an atomic bomb is quite a grim legacy. But Hiroshima is so much more than that and is well worth a visit on any trip to Japan.
Quietly and consistently voted as one of the most liveable cities in the country, Hiroshima is still an under-appreciated destination spot on a first-timer's Japan bucket list. With the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombing coming up this week, visiting any one of these top eight attractions will hopefully change anyone's outlook on this gem of a city!
Commonly known as the Atomic Bomb Dome, this is undoubtedly the symbol – for better or worse – most associated with Hiroshima. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1996, the former Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall was the only structure left standing after the bombing on August 6, 1945. The twisted metal of the dome and the rubble-strewn surroundings is left the same as it was 70 years ago, a testament to the power of the new weapon and an everlasting symbol of peace.
The dome itself, as well as the absolutely beautiful Memorial Park surrounding the site, should be near the top of any visit to the city.
A personal favorite, Miyajima (officially named Itsukushima) is a very small island a short jaunt from Hiroshima. After taking a 10-minute ferry, the striking view of the island is unforgettable. Sparsely populated and intensely rural, Miyajima is renowned throughout the country as being the best spot to see the autumn leaves change colors. The island's many maple trees are turned a brilliant crimson in the fall, making it a top attraction for those looking to snap that perfect picture. And because the island itself is sacred, the trees are protected and cannot be cut. This protection also extends to the tame deer roaming the island, a sacred animal considered to be friends of the gods.
First established in the 6th century, the present shrine dates back almost 500 years and boasts one of Japan's official Three Greatest Views. Because the shrine was built over the water, with stick-like structures lofting it above the sea floor, the entire shrine looks to be floating. Depending on whether the tide is in or out, your views of the surrounding area will change. This beguiling shrine and the surrounding pagodas, temples, and extant buildings, is a great place to visit and one of my favorite places in the entire country.
Playing in the best-named stadium in all of baseball (Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium Hiroshima), the Hiroshima Carp is considered the little brother among the other professional baseball teams. Having not won any sort of pennant or championship since 1991, the team definitely isn't a powerhouse akin to the Yankees or Red Sox. Can the team throw off the yoke of history and win it all this year? No, probably not.
What the Carp can do, however, is boast having the country's most passionate and crazed fans. Watching a Hiroshima Carp baseball game is a full body, full senses experience. As opposed to your typical American baseball game, many Carp fans never sit down – the entire game. They also have an impressive amount of songs, cheers, and dances memorized for just the right occasion during the game. At first, it can be confusing, even intimidating, watching a Carp game alongside the diehards in the bleachers. However, after an inning or two, you'll be yelling and stomping alongside 30,000 other fans for life.
After yelling yourself hoarse watching the Carp valiantly soldier on, what better way to drown your sorrows than taking in Hiroshima's most famous dish, okonomiyaki? Very loosely described as a savory pancake, this Japanese delight contains an eclectic variety of ingredients, all working together to create a unique and delicious treat. Squid, cabbage, pork, egg, noodles, sauces – really anything you want!
Fiercely proud of their layered-style of okonomiyaki, every resident of Hiroshima will tell you the best tasting okonomiyaki in the world comes from, of course, Hiroshima. I have yet to disagree. For a great okonomiyaki experience, head down to Okonomimura. Okonomimura is basically a food theme park, the ramshackle building housing over 20 different okonomiyaki restaurants all competing for your patronage. A very unique and memorable place to try the local delicacy!
To take a streetcar in Hiroshima is to take ride back in time. Notable throughout Japan for the sheer number of streetcars, and its light rail system in general, Hiroshima takes great pride in still offering this gradually disappearing travel option.
Known as the Hiroden and employing over 300 streetcars, seeing one roll slowly down Hiroshima's streets can rouse nostalgia for some. Since 1912, streetcars have moved the people of Hiroshima from place to place, rarely stopping. Indeed, only three days after the atomic bombing, the streetcars were up and running again in the city. There are even a couple streetcars still in service today from those early days.
Because Hiroshima actually buys up other city's' discontinued trolleys, there are a variety of streetcars to choose from. This preservation of a part of Japanese culture is one of the reasons the Hiroden is also known as the Moving Streetcar Museum. A great way to see the city!
Founded in 1920 in Hiroshima, it is no surprise to see so many Mazda cars zooming the streets. Whether a car enthusiast or not, the Mazda Museum is a short trip from the city and well worth it.
In addition to the corporate headquarters proper, Mazda also owns a small plot of coastal land near the city. This plot of land accommodates a research and development center, as well as factories. After signing up for a guided tour, the Mazda representative will take interested customers through a museum showing the history of the company, as well as walk through an actual, working assembly line. There's also a chance to buy all the Mazda goods you can handle!
Quiz: What kind of Japan traveller are you?
Offering a fantastic example of traditional Japanese castle construction, Hiroshima Castle is a fine castle indeed. The present castle was, of course, reconstructed after World War II, but is still a fantastic site to behold.
Surrounded by a moat, the five-story tall castle was first built in 1589 by legendary feudal lord Mori Terumoto. The present castle has been sturdily rebuilt out of concrete with a classic wooden exterior. It is also one of the best spots in the city to see cherry and plum blossoms among the sprawling castle gardens.
For one of the finest examples of a typical Japanese garden, head over to Shukkeien, just east of the castle. Shukkeien can be translated to mean "shrunken-scenery garden" and that is exactly what it represents. Imposing mountains, deep valleys, lush forests, and scenic lakes are all miniaturized and have been carefully cultivated over the centuries.
Dating back to 1620, the Shukkeien can be considered the quintessential Japanese-style garden. The vegetation lends itself well to natural landscapes, and is a joy to walk around. Dotted with teahouses and tranquil lakes, it is difficult to take a bad photo here!

Here, though, many Naples homes are set very close together, which can be discouraging to a lot of folks. Me, I've come to appreciate a small yard. I mean, who wants to take care of acres of land when its 95 degrees outside?
But if you are set on having land, it can be found in Naples. Generally, homes with acres of land are found as you head out further east in Naples in an area of town known as Golden Gate Estates, but there are some areas of town where those coveted acres can be found closer toward the beaches.
Stop in and check it out for yourself. It's a beauty!

Nepetalactone is a name for multiple iridoid analog stereoisomers. Nepetalactones are produced by Nepeta cataria (catnip) and many other plants belonging to the genus Nepeta, in which they protect these plants from herbivorous insects by functioning as insect repellents. They are also produced by many aphids, in which they are sex pheromones. Nepetalactones are cat attractants, and cause the behavioral effects that catnip induces in domestic cats. However, they affect visibly only about two thirds of adult cats. They produce similar behavioral effects in many other felids, especially in lions and jaguars. In 1941, the research group of Samuel M. McElvain was the first to determine the structures of nepetalactones and several related compounds.

Structure and properties

Nepetalactone has three chiral centers, two at the fusion of the two rings, and one where the methyl group attaches to the cyclopentane ring. Thus, it has eight (23) stereoisomers. The terms cis and trans are used to refer to the relative stereochemistry at the ring fusion, and also to the methyl group as compared to the lactone on the cyclopentane.

(cis,trans)-Nepetalactone is a colorless oil. Its boiling point is 71 °C at 0.05 mmHg. At 25 °C, its density is 1.0663 g/mL and refractive index 1.4859.

Natural occurrence
Plants belonging to the Nepeta genus produce 4 different nepetalactone stereoisomers: (cis,cis)-, (cis,trans)-, (trans,cis)- and (trans,trans)-nepetalactone. Their relative occurrence varies among plant species. Small amounts of (cis,trans)- and (trans,cis)-nepetalactone also occur in the wood of Lonicera tatarica, but its cat attractant effects are assumed to be caused by actinidine, which occurs in it in higher concentrations.

Nepetalactones are also produced by many aphids, in which they function as sex pheromones. The most common isomer in aphids is (cis,trans)-nepetalactone. Aphids also commonly produce a structurally related (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol, which is also an aphid sex pheromone. Relative concentrations of these two compounds varies among aphid species.

Biosynthesis
Nepetalactone is a bicyclic monoterpene produced through the terpenoid pathway in the genus Nepeta using its starting compound, geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP). There are three isomers of nepetalactone and it is suggested their stereochemistry is produced using different enzymes. Geranyl pyrophosphate undergoes hydrolysis and several oxidations to form 8-oxogeranial which can undergo a canonical activation–cyclation step in iridoid biosynthesis. Uncanonically, 8-oxogeranial will be reduced to create an 8-oxocitronellyl enol intermediate. Through a Diels–Alder reaction with a group of cyclases known as nepetalactone-related short-chain dehydrogenase enzymes (NEPS), the different stereoisomers of nepetalactone are biosynthesized.

The process starts with geraniol synthase (GES) hydrolyzing GPP to form geraniol which is oxidized into 8-hydrogeraniol by geraniol-8-hydroxylase (G8H) (scheme 1). Geraniol-8-hydroxylase is further oxidized by 8-hydroxygeraniol oxidoreductase (8OG) to produce 8-oxo-geranial which is reduced by iridoid synthase (ISY) and NADPH to form the intermediate 8-oxocitronellyl enol (scheme 2). This intermediate leads to cyclization by a gene cluster which utilizes ISY and major latex-protein-like genes (MLPL) or NEPS homologs. 8-oxocitronellyl enol is cyclized into (cis,trans)-nepetalactol by MLPL, NEPS1, or NEPS2 and then oxidized by NEPS5 and the cofactor NAD+ to yield (cis,trans)-nepetalactone (scheme 3). The process can be repeated with 8-oxocitronellyl enol cyclizing into (cis,cis)-nepetalactol by NEPS3 and oxidation by NEPS1 or NEPS5 and NAD+ to yield (cis,cis)-nepetalactone (scheme 4). 8-Oxocitronellyl enol can also be cyclized into (trans,cis)-nepetalactol by NEPS4 and then oxidized by NEPS1 into (trans,cis)-nepetalactone (scheme 5). It is suggested that the lack of the NEPS1 leads to decay and formation of (trans,cis)-iridodial.

Effects in felines

Duration and efficacy variation
Nepetalactones affect domestic cats via nasal mucosa. Oral ingestion has no effects. They induce noticeable behavioral effects in about two thirds of adult cats. However, all cats are probably affected by them, but the effects in one third of adult cats are less visible. Nepetalactones do not noticeably affect kittens that are less than three months old. Their effects also tend to be less pronounced in neutered cats in comparison to non-neutered cats, but not significantly.

The effects of nepetalactones begin quickly in domestic cats, and last for 5 to 15 minutes. Cats develop drug tolerance towards nepetalactones after exposure. The tolerance lasts for a few hours.

Lions (Panthera leo) and jaguars (Panthera onca) are sensitive to nepetalactones. Their effects can last in them for up to 60 minutes. They also affect leopards (Panthera pardus). They do not affect tigers (Panthera tigris), bobcats (Lynx rufus), cougars (Puma concolor) or oncillas (Leopardus tigrinus).

Effects
Two thirds of adult domestic cats begin to lick, sniff, eat, scratch or roll over the nepetalactone source after being exposed to it. They may also begin pawing, shaking their heads, rubbing their cheeks, licking themselves or vocalizing. About one third of adult cats react more passively to nepetalactones, and may assume a sphinx-like posture, decrease vocalization or decrease movement. The effects of nepetalactones are similar in other Felidae.

Mechanism of action
Felidae olfactory receptor exposure to nepetalactones or nepetalactols induces β-endorphin secretion to blood. This endorphin activates µ-opioid receptors as an agonist, thus working in a similar manner as morphine or other opioids. Naloxone, a µ-opioid receptor antagonist, is known to block the effects of nepetalactones and nepetalactols in domestic cats, which supports this endorphin related mechanism of action. Repeated exposure to nepetalactones or nepetalactols does not induce opioid withdrawals in Felidae, probably because endogenous β-endorphin secretion is controlled. (cis,trans)- and (trans,cis)-nepetalactones have both been shown to function as cat attractants in domestic cats in studies of poor quality. Both isomers occur in catnip for example, but the (cis,trans)-isomer is the major one.

Evolutionary reasons for the effects
Felidae react to plants that contain nepetalactones by licking them and rubbing them in their fur. Nepetalactones and nepetalactols repel some disease-causing insects. For example, nepetalactols are able to repel Aedes albopictus. The cats typically hunt other animals by stalking them. This requires being still or slow movements, which allow insects to bite the cat more easily. This would make evolutionary pressure select for the behavior of rubbing of natural insect repellent. This was proposed to be the reason for this widely preserved behavioral trait in Felidae in a paper published in 2021.

Get A Mouth Guard in Your School Colors | Mark I. Boule, DDS.
Don't let your kids be the victim of a preventable injury: have them wear mouth guards. While mouth guards are not mandatory equipment in all sports, their worth is indisputable. Dentists see many oral and facial injuries that might have been prevented by the use of a mouth guard. Facial injuries in nearly every sport can result in damage to teeth, lips, cheeks and tongue. Mouth guards cushion blows to the face and neck. A mouth guard should be part of every athlete's gear, no matter the sport. It's better to play safe than face a devastating and painful oral injury.
A survey conducted by the University of Texas found nearly 5% of male college athletes who played football, basketball, soccer, volleyball, baseball, ice hockey, and lacrosse without wearing a mouth guard sustained some oral injury. That's more than 2,000 injuries in just a single year at the college level alone! It's at the junior high, high school, community, and amateur levels that most injuries occur.
Mouth guards can prevent serious injuries such as concussions, fractured jaws and teeth, severe cuts to the cheek and tongue (often requiring surgery for repair), and traumatic damage to the roof and bone that hold the teeth in place.
Our office offers mouth guards in your school colors!!!
Because growth spurts occur in the mouth just as they do elsewhere in the body, it's especially important for children's mouths to be evaluated by a dentist before selecting a mouth guard. Your child's mouth should be checked regularly by the dentist to ensure that, as your child's teeth and jaw change, the mouth guard continues to fit properly and to provide full protection.
Staying in shape- and intact- is an integral part of an overall strategy for all sports. Protecting against injuries will keep you in the game. Keep your competitive edge. Protect both your general and oral health for your best performance on and off the field.
Call us for a quick and easy appointment!

Žalm 89 ("O Hospodinově milosrdenství chci zpívat věčně", podle řeckého číslování 88) je součást biblické Knihy žalmů. Žalm je nadepsán "Poučující, pro Étana Ezrachejského.", z čehož se usuzuje, že pochází z doby krále Šalamouna (Étan Ezrachejský je zmiňován jako mudrc, žijící právě v této době). Žalm popisuje Boží moc a milosrdenství, které prokazuje Bůh lidem, na příkladu krále Davida. V závěru ale zdůrazňuje, že Bůh své sliby milosrdenství, dané Davidovi, nedodržel a trestá ho za jeho hříchy. Obrazy z tohoto žalmu (především obraz Boha coby milosrdného pastýře) jsou využívány v Novém zákoně.

The name Bonnie is a girl's name of Scottish origin meaning "beautiful, cheerful". Bonnie is ranked #697 on our popularity charts and is often added to lists like Names That Mean Beautiful and discussed in our forums with posts like "Drop Your Favorite: GIRLS!".
Bonnie is a word the Scots really do use for pretty, thus the root of this name, from the French bonne. Bonnie is teetering on the edge of a comeback right now, along with Betty and Bea one of the girls' names starting with Bthat are so far out they're heading back in, especially in the UK.
Gone With the Wind gave Bonnie a big push when Scarlett and Rhett used it for their daughter. Her full name was Eugenie Victoria, but the pet name came from the fact that she had "eyes as blue as the bonnie blue flag."
Bonnie's last moment in the limelight came in the late sixties with the film Bonnie and Clyde, about outlaw Bonnie Parker. Now after a long decline, it's finally showing new signs of life, perhaps thanks to the Bonnies in The Vampire Diaries and The Hunger Games, as well as a new miniseries about the 1930s-era bandits.

I'll never be able to separate this name from the annoying mean girl Bonnie Rockwaller from Kim Possible.
Bonnie is a great name, I didn't like it as a kid because it's so unpopular, but as I aged, I started to appreciate being the only Bonnie that people knew.
I love Bonnie, too. I think it is fine as an independent name, or a nickname. I personally love Bonita, but Bonnie on its own is definitely a strong choice.
I love this, on its own or as a short form of Bonita.
I LOVE the name Bonnie. Bonnie Wright is one of the best actresses in my opinion. Bonnie is refreshing compared to all those Honey's and Lulu's in the world today. Bonnie does not need to be short for anything, but it could if you liked. I think a couple good uses for Bonnie is Bonnie Alyssa or Lexi Bonnie.
I love Bonnie! It's adorable and has a great meaning. It's heard of, but not too popular. Bonnie Wright, who plays Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, is a great namesake!
So cute! Looking for a name for baby #2. Sylvie Grace is my first, and looking at Bonnie Tamara for this one is a girl. Both my husband and i like it. (Tamara is my sisters name).
I like this as a diminutive for Bronwen.
I liked the little girl named Bonnie in Toy Story 3. :) She was adorable, and that's where the name was brought to my attention. It's kinda cute, with a lovely meaning.
I love Bonnie! It is such a sweet name:) Totally underused. It would be so refreshing to meet a little Bonnie or an Annie or Millie! Also a great nickname for Bonita.
This name is really growing on me. Sounds like a sweet little girls name.
Bonnie means good, and I have always loved the name...Bonnie Baldwin?
Bonnie Blue is the BOMB!!!

Elizabeth Robinson née Robley
Elizabeth Robley was born at Port Jackson on the 27/11/1792, the first born to John and Jemima Robley. John Robley had been transported to Botany Bay on the Scarborough in the 2nd Fleet, and his wife, Jemima Wilson, had been transported on the Mary Ann in the 3rd Fleet.
Elizabeth was baptized at Parramatta on 23rd of December 1792 and her younger brother, George, was baptized at Parramatta on August 1795. There is no record of his birth.
In 1798,after Jemima had given evidence against a co-offender for which she was granted immunity from prosecution, the family was sent to Norfolk Island where by 1805 John was the overseer of all blacksmiths on the island.
In May 1806, at the age of 14 years, Elizabeth Robley married Michael Massey Robinson.
In 1807 John and Jemima Robley, with their son George and two servants, left the island for Hobart Town on the Porpoise.
Michael Massey Robinson, according to records, had been a public servant, a poet, a lawyer and an extortionist. He had studied law at the Oxford University.
He was the son of James and Rachel (Massey) Robinson, and he had been christened on the 23/2/1757 at Chepping Barnett, Hertford, England. There is no record of his birth, but other records show that he may have been born between 1744 and 1751. Robinson had been convicted of a crime in the Old Bailey on 17/2/1795 on a crime of extortion which related to threats in letters dated between 7th of January 1792 and the 17th of January 1792.
In essence, the case revolved around the death of an ironmonger, by the name of Daniel Dolly, some 22 years earlier. Upon the death of Mr. Dolly his property passed to James Oldham who initially had been an apprentice to Dolly, who later became Dolly's partner and following the death of Dolly ended up marrying Dolly's widow. When Daniel Dolly died a solicitor named Peake accused James Oldham of murdering Dolly. An enquiry cleared Oldham and awarded him damages of 500 pound for the defamation by Peake.
Between the 7th of January and the 12th of January 1792, James Oldham received some 5 letters stating that unless certain monies were paid to the author of the letters a poem alleging that Oldham had murdered his previous employer would be published, in the form of verse, in the Daily Advertiser.
Robinson was arrested when he delivered the 5th letter. In court his defense was that he was only acting as the legal agent for the author of the letters, but evidence was produced from several witnesses to the effect that the writing in the body of the letters was clearly Robinson's.
He was convicted "of sending a letter to the prosecutor, threatening to publish a libel imputing to him the murder of his master, for the purpose of extorting money."
Robinson's age at conviction was given as 45years.
He was sentenced to death, but was reprieved at the request of James Oldham the prosecutor. He was then sentenced to be transported to Botany Bay.
He was transported in the Barwell, with 295 other convicts, which sailed from Portsmouth on the 7th of November 1797 and arrived in Sydney on the 18th of May 1798, after a voyage of 192 days.
On the voyage out the Master, James Cameron, became aware of a plan being hatched between some of the convicts and soldiers on board where they intended to seize control of the ship. Several of the soldiers and convicts were severely flogged and placed in irons for the duration of the voyage.
Robinson was fortunate not to be involved, and because of his impressive manners and apparent education, the captain permitted his to take his meals with the petty officers and sent him his dinner and a bottle of wine daily from his own table.
Robinson apparently impressed another passenger, one Richard Dore who was traveling on the Barwell to take up his position of Judge Advocate following the resignation of Collins. Upon the arrival of Dore in New South Wales, and after he was sworn in to his appointment, Dore appointed Robinson as his secretary without pay.
Dore suffered from poor health and left Robinson with many opportunities to help himself financially. Dore was also careless with public money passing through his hands, so he paid little attention to Robinson who was gaining some financial rewards for his skills.
In 1800, Robinson was appointed as the officer for the registration of legal documents. In December 1800 Richard Dore died and his successor, Richard Atkins, had little knowledge of the law so Robinson was appointed as his secretary. Robinson continued to gain financial benefits from his various schemes, and found that he could easily forge Atkin's signature to documents, that brought him further financial benefits.
Robinson was caught out in September 1802 and was sentenced to serve his sentence on Norfolk Island. It was then discovered that there was no other person with the skills to carry out the duties being performed by Robinson, so the sentence was suspended and Robinson was reinstated to the previous positions.
He was a slow learner, and over the next three years he was warned several times about interfering with legal transactions, but by 1805 he had run out of chances and was sent to Norfolk Island to complete his prison term.
There in May 1806 at the possible age of 60-65 years he married 14 year old Elizabeth Robley. In December 1806 Captain Piper, the commandant of Norfolk Island, returned Robinson and his wife Elizabeth to Sydney much to the displeasure of Governor Bligh.
Robinson's marriage to Elizabeth Robley apparently turned him around and he settled down in Sydney and they had the following family:-
Henry H. 1808.
George M. 1810.
Emily M. 1812.
In 1810 Robinson was appointed as chief clerk to the office of the secretary to Governor Macquarie. Over the next 11 years of the Monarch's birthday, he would publish and recite a poem he had composed for that purpose. In 1819 he was given two cows from the government herd for his duties as Poet Laureate. He is credited with being the first published poet in the Colony.
In 1818 he was appointed Provost Marshall. In 1821 he was appointed senior clerk in the police office, and he was one of the original shareholders of the Bank of New South Wales.
He died on the 22nd of December 1826 leaving a wealthy widow. There is mention that Robinson was survived by his wife, one son and one daughter. I cannot find any further record of their son Henry.
Records do not disclose whether Elizabeth Robinson née Robley remarried, but they do indicate that her son George married Martha Hilton in Sydney in 1858, and they had the following family:-
Thomas. 1859.
George. 1861.
Francis. 1862.
John. 1864.
There is a record of Emily marrying Richard Allen in Sydney, in 1828, but no record of a family.
