What Constitutes Smart Cities?
March 1, 2016
We recently returned from a research visit to Jakarta, Indonesia, with the Japan International Cooperation Agency's Research Institute (JICA-RI). Our trip sought to understand the opportunities and challenges of turning Jakarta, a sprawling megacity of over 10 million people, into a "smart city." We met with representatives of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the World Bank, JICA, multinational and local companies, nongovernmental organizations, the city government, and the winners of the 2015 Jakarta Urban Challenge. We asked these people what a "smart city" meant to them. Here are some responses:
· Doing government the right way
· How to manage and make use of our resources to solve city problems in more expedient ways and avoid problems in the future
· Access to more information that one can analyze to provide insights for a city
· Smart planning and budgeting
· The best possible use of technology to enable good governance
· Applying technology to make cities more livable
· Using available innovations (this can include technology but does not have to be technology) that change the way people do things in a city
· One stop service centers—if you need anything from a city, you get it soon and in one place from common centers
· Cities that provide efficient and effective services
It is clear that there are various ways to think about smart cities, a concept that came into the modern consciousness in 2005, when the Clinton Global Initiative challenged Cisco to devise ways to use its technology to make cities more sustainable . This challenge led to a $25 million Connected Urban Development Program . Cisco worked with Amsterdam, San Francisco, and Seoul on "using network connectivity for communication, collaboration, urban planning, and other activities." Its goals included improving services delivery, traffic flow, and public transportation and ultimately reducing carbon emissions. After a successful five-year pilot, Cisco created its Smart and Connected Communities Division and worked to commercialize its products and services in this space.
IBM launched its own Smarter Planet Initiative in 2008 and a Smarter Cities program the following year. Smarter Cities works in locations around the world on using new technologies and data to improve the cohesiveness and functioning of a city's operations, services delivery, and systems. Following the lead of these initiatives and others, "smart cities" has become a buzzword, one that most people immediately link with the application of high technologies.
New technologies are important—they bring benefits ranging from the improved coordination of traffic signals to reduced carbon emissions and energy cost savings for businesses. But a "smart city" doesn't necessarily mean one that revolves around the most state-of-the-art technologies and smart phone applications. There is a more basic definition—a city with capable public administration and effective services delivery—and this is the definition that is arguably most important to consider in developing countries. Cities that are not well managed and accountable to their citizens cannot be "smart."
Jakarta's city government opened an impressive Smart City unit in 2014 that focuses on collecting big data and analyzing it to drive the city's decisionmaking. The unit builds on the city's 1 million smart phone users and links them in a network that provides a new kind of accountable governance. The unit has a city monitoring system, displayed across several big screens and smaller computers. This system can toggle between different programs that show traffic conditions in Jakarta, track government staff in the field, access "city feeds" (there are approximately 600 locations with government cameras), and monitor complaints from a smart phone application called " Qlue."
Qlue invites users to submit reports of anything ranging from potholes to bribery to broken streetlights. Complaints are funneled via the Smart City unit to the appropriate agencies, and then the agencies must provide photo verification through the application that the problem has been fixed. Some stakeholders question whether the new technology has been matched by adequate capacity in the government to respond to complaints. However, the Smart City unit asserts that prior to Qlue, it took the government between three days and one week to respond to something like a pothole; now the response time is one day. We saw examples of how the city has used Qlue to paint over graffiti, pick up trash, and move a parked car that caused a traffic jam.
As demonstrated in the Jakarta Smart City unit, cities that seek to become "smarter" require new kinds of employees for jobs that did not exist 10 years ago. This includes data scientists and engineers who have the ability to innovate on the job. Developing countries may face challenges incentivizing and retaining talent for public service jobs and should devise approaches to make these positions attractive.
Jakarta's momentum toward becoming a smart city comes on the heels of strong political will. Former Jakarta governor and current Indonesian president Joko "Jokowi" Widodo and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama "Ahok" ran together on a strong public service delivery platform for the governorship in 2012. Now-Governor Ahok is involved day-to-day in the oversight and accountability of the Smart Cities Unit and visiting parts of the city that need improvement. Ensuring a track record of effective services delivery will be critical for his reelection.
As Jakarta continues on its trajectory, national and city leadership will need to address shortfalls in water and sanitation, infrastructure, and slum prevalence and conditions. One chief complaint of its citizens is that Jakarta is a highly vehicle-dependent and congested city. A World Bank Urbanization Review of Indonesia speaks about huge missed economic growth opportunities due to the infrastructure deficit. JICA has funded the country's first modern mass rapid-transit system in Jakarta that will become operational in 2018 or 2019. Another key issue is ensuring access to potable water and sanitation for all of Jakarta's citizens. We asked a senior city official if he drinks the tap water; he said no.
Another important demand for cities of the future is energy. The demand for energy traditionally skyrockets as a city improves its economic standing, but it is difficult for governments to keep up.
JICA has a program in Indonesia and other countries called the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM), in which local companies partner with Japanese companies and receive significant subsidies on energy efficient machines. We visited four sites—ranging from a food refrigeration company to a textile factory—and each site demonstrated significant energy savings and reduced emissions. Companies said the scheme offered them additional advantages, including being able to market themselves as eco-friendly.
While important, donor dollars are not enough to achieve scale of these kinds of initiatives. Technology with improved energy efficiency can be as much as three times as expensive as existing technologies; it is important that financial payback from energy savings be achieved within a reasonable amount of time. National and city governments can play a role by enacting policies that incentivize the adoption of more energy efficient technologies.
We asked a senior public official in the Jakarta Smart City unit how bilateral donors and multilateral organizations could best support the city's smart cities vision. He did not ask for money to build more infrastructure. Instead, he identified that the development community can be the biggest support to smart cities by developing global standards, or a "smart cities index," that will help them benchmark their performance and measure their effectiveness with key performance indicators. This is an emerging area of opportunity and one to which actors such as the World Bank could contribute. This follows well on the successes of indices such as the Doing Business Indicators.
"Smart cities" is a concept that will continue to have more and more relevance in middle-income countries. As urbanization drives clusters of educated, middle-income citizens with access to smart phones and social media to cities, these people will vote with their smart phones. Jakarta's governance has become more focused on service delivery as citizens have demanded these services. There is more pressure on leaders, and those who do not provide adequate services will be voted out of office in democracies. Additionally, as cities move up the economic curve, citizens will demand different kinds of services.
The stakes of "smart cities" could be high. In a global competition for talent and investment, leaders need to make their cities livable. People will leave cities that are congested or unfriendly to pedestrians or that do not offer the efficiency and reliability of services such as trash pickup, public transportation, and infrastructure maintenance. Ensuring strong political leadership and capable public administration is the first step for any city that seeks to become "smarter." Then technology can be an enabler in meeting the future needs of cities.

Suppression of natural limestones deactivation during cyclic carbonation-decarbonation process in CCS technology
Abstract – The paper summarizes sorption properties of limestones with variable content of calcium carbonate. Changes of sorption capacities during cyclic calcinations and carbonations were investigated using laboratory apparatus with vertical quartz reactor. Application of suitably chosen limestones and process conditions offered sustainable capacity up to 11 kg CO2 /100 kg of initial limestone. Method of reactivation of the spent limestone using a gas saturated by water vapor was proposed to eliminate decreasing of the capacity in the carbonate looping process.
Keywords: carbon dioxide; limestone; carbonate looping; flue gas; sorption

What would you do if you turned up for work and you had to climb a 3-meter brick wall to get into the office? What about if everyone conducted team meetings in auslan, and you can't speak auslan? How would you feel if you complained and nobody seemed to care?
Some colleagues of mine went to work the other day.
No big deal, hey. Lots of people go to work every day.
The difference is these colleagues are disability leaders. They are well respected in their various fields and regularly lead the public conversation about disability. They are some of the toughest people I know, not much gets in their way.
Except the other day.
The other day my colleagues had all registered to attend a conference. They were all attending this conference as part of their work. Some had travelled interstate.
None of them were able to fulfil their work obligations as expected because the conference was inaccessible. Very inaccessible.
I'm not going to name the organisers, or the leaders involved. There has been plenty of online discussion and media relating to the incident. What I am particularly annoyed by isn't the inaccessibility, well actually that does annoy me, rather I'm very annoyed that a bunch of disability leaders went to work expecting to perform at their usual high standard, and they were unable to do so.
Most of them left. Those who stayed had a very difficult time. Several were adversely affected by staying and will need recovery time. All of the disability leaders involved were distressed by the situation and by how unexpected it was. Some said to me: "I just won't go to conferences anymore", or "perhaps I shouldn't be doing this work".
How is that the answer? Should disability leaders be giving up their work, or should conferences and workplaces be more committed to ensuring accessibility?
Newsflash: accessibility isn't an extra or a nice thing to have, its mandatory if you want disabled people in the room. If you think diversity is of any value at all then accessibility is part of your regular processes, it's just how you operate. You budget for it, make it happen, build it in from the outset. You choose venues that work, and make sure there are rapid responses to any issues that arise. You don't argue and ablesplain and put the onus back onto the disability leader to get less disabled, you take responsibility for making accessibility happen and you fix it quickly when it doesn't.
Most importantly, you make sure the people designing the access are those who know about access and have professional experience in accessibility. This means they will also be disabled people. These access experts should be paid for their work, just like your sound technicians and caterers.
This wasn't an isolated incident. It happens every day, in all corners of the globe. This incident was quite high profile because of the people involved and that makes it unusual. Most incidents of inaccessibility happen to individuals, often in workplaces that aren't supportive or have managers who think they know better, or they are single barriers affecting individuals at conferences rather than everyone, so we never hear about them.
This incident resulted in a formal apology delivered by the conference organisers during the final plenary. Unfortunately, most of the disability leaders affected weren't there by then to hear it. The apology also didn't include a commitment to recruit disabled people onto the organising committee in the future, nor did it include a reference to the same situation happening at the previous conference and this incident being a repeat.
There are still significant barriers to disability leadership. This is just one story.

For Immediate Release: May 1, 2015
Contact: Jonathan Gilad, Jewish Council for Public Affairs
firstname.lastname@example.com; 202-212-6031
Celebrating New Americans, JCPA Highlights Contributions of New Americans in Honor of Jewish American Heritage Month
Washington – The Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) is commemorating the 10th annual Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM) by promoting the theme "Celebrating New Americans." JAHM is celebrated annually during the month of May. Throughout the month, JCPA will be highlighting stories of people from all backgrounds and ages who came to the United States looking for a new world to build their futures. Some came with nothing more than the shirts on their backs, some landing at Ellis Island or through the ports of New York or Galveston and others through a bustling airport terminal, but they all shared a hope for a better future for themselves and their families. These stories represent not just new Americans, but, in fact, the quintessential American story.
"Jewish American Heritage Month provides us with a time to reflect on our roots, our families and our proud heritage as Americans. Some of us arrived in massive numbers in the late 1800's into the early 20th Century from Europe or from North Africa and the Middle East, others through the ashes of the Holocaust, and others arriving from the Former Soviet Union in more recent years. But all of us, our parents, and grandparents came here seeking a better future," said Susan W. Turnbull, JCPA Chair.
"Despite the challenges, we joyfully mark this month to commemorate all the contributions and accomplishments that we as a people have achieved in our great nation. Our hope is to continue in our tradition of Tikun Olam (repairing the world), and work together with new Americans from all backgrounds, faiths and identities and celebrate our stories and the United States of America," said Rabbi Steve Gutow, JCPA President.
In an email sent to local Jewish Community Relations Councils (member agencies of the JCPA), organizers were asked to contribute stories as part of this project, and to tweet pictures with the #NewAmericans for Jewish American Heritage Month #JAHM. If you would like to contribute your story to this project please contact Jonathan Gilad, JCPA Communications Manager, at email@example.com<mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>
JCPA, the public affairs arm of the organized Jewish community, serves as the national coordinating and advisory body for the 17 national and 125 local agencies comprising the field of Jewish community relations.

Summer Fun on the O&WTuesday, July 12th, 2016
The O&W Bridge — where the road, the horse trails, the hiking trails, the river and the rock wall that climbers love to tackle all meet — was not designed to be a central point of the BSF. It just sort of happened. Only seven roads enter the BSF River gorge, and this one is the most remotely located. It's the only vehicular access point to the river between Burnt Mill Bridge upstream along the Clear Fork River and Leatherwood Ford a couple of miles downstream along S.R. 297. It's at the lower end of one of the Southeast's most popular stretches of whitewater and the last place before Station Camp that horseback riders can cross the river. (Read More)

【 日清商会は複数サイト運用です。】

We plant not only seeds but also dreams.
Our vision is to grow the dream like the beanstalk in the story.
Nisshin shokai Co., Ltd. Put down roots in Tochigi in 1945, at the time of the evacuation from Yokohama. We specialize in Nisshin OilliO Group, Ltd (OilliO) products mainly and TableMark Co., Ltd. products such as seasonings and frozen foods. We have expanded our business in Japanese traditional foods and in domestic soybean supplements for food producers, and have developed our import business using our accumulated special knowledge and the strength of our local sales network . In the old tale, a few beans planted in the ground produced a great beanstalk that grew to the sky, finally bringing happiness to the boy Jack. What will be the future of this seed planted? Like the beanstalk, this company has grown and spread widely from its first roots. We at Nisshin Shokai hope to keep the story going on fruitfully harvest to harvest.
Oil & seasoning
Crisp deep fry and fresh green salad with tasty dressing,
A good quality of oil brings out the delicious flavor of the ingredients.
OilliO imports ingredients including soybeans, rapeseed, sesame seed, olives and safflower from all over the world to produce fine oils, using its hundred-year-old process.
Nisshin shokai Co., Ltd. was established in 1949 as an agency of Nisshin Oil Mills,Ltd. We deal with a wide range of OilliO products from edible oils to grain and fertilizer. Since unsaturated fatty acid has been realized to be linked with a possible role in promoting human health, products using sesame oil, olive oil and safflower oil, and health-functional oil such as medium chain fatty acids that can help prevent accumulation of body fat, are being popular. Our belief is that we should be knowledgeable about products, chemistry, biology, dietics and food-processing to build a bridge between customers and producers. Because of this belief , we have worked to accumulate such knowledge needful for producing useful products. We will continue progressing as specialists in order to meet our customers' various needs.
Soy protein & margarine
We deal with OilliO products, such as processed oils and fats, soy protein, meals and as well as double-processed vegetable oil products like margarine. Shortening is a representative product of processed oil and fat, and gives the crunchy taste to cookies. Soy protein is an indispensable ingredient now a days. It is used all around for processed marine products, processed stock farm products, bread and instant noodles. We handle different forms of soy protein for various uses. Constantly our team works on "research and development" in case the market doesn't have the product to satisfy consumers' demands.
Frozen food
The frozen food market has expanded because of its convenience and preservability. At TableMark Co., Ltd. stable good quality ingredients are chosen and cooked in a hygienic environment and preserved at an appropriate temperature. They develop many products to cover various needs. Frozen hamburg, called " The Sunburg" became a big hit in 1972. It is still a popular school lunch item which has been evaluated according to its high nutritional value along with Asahi Foods Co., Ltd. (At present, TableMark Co., Ltd.) since the 1960's,not long after Asahi Chemical Industry Corp. joined the food industry. JT Foods Co., Ltd. Is one of the largest domestic producers of catering seasonings.
Grain development & import
The soybean has traditionally provided us with unique processed foodstuff such as tofu, natto, miso and shoyu for daily use.
North America is the largest soybean producing, exporting region. We cooperate with a wide range of domestic and American agricultural participants from specialized research organizations to farmers to manage the development of import routes for high quality soybean. The soybean is a representative grain such as wheat and corn. It is the most highly produced bean in the world but most of the output is for oils. According to a cooking researchers' data, there are thirty three different ways of cooking with the soybean in Japan. The quantity and quality of protein should be a concern for Japanese traditional food, but the soybeans from domestic production dose not fill up Japanese consumers' demand under present conditions. We cooperate with grain trader and farmers in the United States to grow soybean. We visit farms at every strategic time to produce high grade soybean in the farms. We also work with soybean research laboratories and which are sometimes public or private, so as to import the traits through breeding and biotechnology.

Will The Channel Be Able to Deliver The Intelligent Cloud?
The Intelligent Cloud: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) has vastly expanded in the past couple of years. Gartner reports an $11 billion increase in spending on cloud system infrastructure services in the past year alone. Many end-user organisations still perceive IaaS as a colossal move from what is considered a 'traditional IT infrastructure setup'. We talk to Apay Obang-Oyway, Director of Cloud and Software, UK&I at Ingram Micro. He, however, suggests that IaaS is central to realising the intelligent future of the cloud. He maintains that the Channel is ideally placed to deliver it.
Apay explains: "While SaaS provides a great deal of simplicity to business users due to its 'all-or-nothing' approach, in contrast, IaaS is the bridge between business and IT. Here, both the IT department and the business as a whole can appreciate the significant benefits of the cloud, especially its scalability. For business users, they receive the reduced pricing and experience the capabilities of the cloud. The IT department enjoys data centres with the possibility of an adaptable and accessible infrastructure on demand."

Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Trowelling Machine
It is essential that you get to invest in the trowelling machine as a concreter that wants to get a professional finish. The finish that is done using trowelling machine is much different from manual one hence it is important that you get to make the right purchase of this machine. As you make your purchase it is advisable that you get to determine the one that you can choose as the options are so many hence it is important that you get to know the one that will best fit you so that you can make your purchase. However, when purchasing trowelling machine, it is vital that you consider the following guidelines.
You have to consider the size. It is important that you note that the size of the trowelling machine that you will choose will determine the work that you will do as well the time you will need to have the work done. You will need to consider choosing the most appropriate size that will help you complete the task fast and on time since it is covering a larger area and in this case, you will need to consider the 46-inch trowelling machine as that will help you in completing the project fast.

*Advertorial in collaboration with Amazon
I think this might be a perfect last-minute present – retro, so either good for someone who remembers it with nostalgic fondness, or someone who has no idea what it is like to play Sonic the Hedgehog, but all without the games consoles and discs and so on.
Amazon has launched SEGA Classics on Fire TV to celebrate the 30th anniversary of SEGA Mega Drive. They say "with SEGA Classics, Fire TV customers can access a catalogue of classic games without having to purchase a pricey console, buy a controller, or switch HDMI outlets. To play, customers only need their Fire TV remote – or they can pair a compatible Bluetooth controller to their device. SEGA Classics includes 15 multiplayer games, so you can play with your friends and family this holiday season."
So for £24.99 for the Fire TV stick and £11.99 for the bundle of 25 of the most popular SEGA Mega Drive games, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, and Streets of Rage, you can have a great present for the whole family to enjoy.
I remember these games fondly from my childhood – we didn't have a console ourselves but I used to play at friend's houses – I think it would be such a lovely thing for those lazy days after Christmas to have something like this for us all to play.

31 Jul 5 Ideas to Create the Perfect Outdoor Space
I know summer is just about over, so I think it is best to take advantage of the outdoors and sun staying out late for as long we got it! Everyone loves spending time outside whether it be BBQing on the weekends with friends, having a glass of wine on the patio with your honey, or just watching the kids play with the dog. Before summer ends we thought we would give you a couple of tips on how to make the most of your outdoor space so you could get out there and enjoy the sun while it lasts!
Create lighting: I personally love the string lights that hang over a patio or a pergola, there is something so romantic and rustic about this look. If this isn't your thing do something else to get creative with lighting, whether it be Christmas lights on a tree or your traditional lanterns or torches. Either way make sure to get some proper lighting to create a warm space that can be used well after the sun goes down all year round.
Entertaining Space: There are many things that can be done outside to create the best entertaining space to fit your needs. Whether it be a patio with a dining space for you and your closest friends, or a lounge area to just relax. If you have the space, an outdoor kitchen would be the ultimate of entertaining spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Just make sure to evaluate the space and what you want your outdoor space to do for you.
Create Dimension: Not everyone has large backyards that allow for a large entertaining space. Some have small patios or balconies. If this is the case utilize the walls and space you do have to create more dimension to the space. Ikea has some great outdoor furniture for those small spaces.
Plants and Flowers: We can't forget about these. Fragrant flowers and greenery always make the outdoor space much more inviting and warm. If the upkeep isn't your thing or if you live where water is scarce try succulents. They can add the greenery you are looking for without so much of the upkeep.
Details, Details, Details: Here comes the fun part, the decor of your outdoor space. Don't be afraid to dress up and have fun with color. Get some fun lounge chairs, outdoor pillows, and rugs to give the space a splash of you!
The most important thing to remember is this space is an extension of you. So go out there and BBQ, or have that glass of wine or play with the kids and pets. Just make sure it is in a space you love.

You wanna know how the Joker got his scars? Or at the very least, why he's a psychotic criminal clown who never takes off his makeup? You'll surely find the answer to at least one of those questions in next year's Joker origin movie, in which Joaquin Phoenix will portray Batman's most famous foe in his early years as a struggling comic. As a work that exists separately from the DCEU, where Jared Leto is set to continue his run as the Clown Prince of Crime, this is definitely one of the more unusual comic book movies scheduled for a 2019 release, but surely the film's esteemed lead can bring something interesting to the table.
For a first look at Phoenix in action, we offer this newly released set footage, in which the star can be witnessed engaging in an altercation on the streets of 1980s Gotham City. Though his character Arthur Fleck is not yet donning the Joker's trademark makeup in the footage, the clown element of his arc is already foreshadowed via both the merry-go-round in the background and the red-nosed funny man who confronts him.
— ᴊɴᴀᴘɪᴇʀ. (@JNapierrr) September 17, 2018
While few details about the Joker film are out, fans can make some connections with this video. The standalone movie is meant to tell the villain's origin story, and it all begins when his career as a stand-up comedian falls flat. This small tidbit might explain why Arthur is seen at the Ha-Ha Talent Agency, and set up his crazed fascination with clowns down the line.
If this set video doesn't look like a standard comic book film to you, then don't be worried; That is what Phillips is going for with the project. Recently, Phoenix backed the director by saying the Joker movie would be a unique addition to the genre as it doesn't really stick to one style.
While this isn't the first time we've seen Arthur sans makeup, or even Phoenix's devilish smile, we've yet to get a good look at the character in full Joker mode. Nonetheless, we'll have plenty of time to learn more about this curious project before the movie hits theaters on October 4th, 2019.

Very well said Rox. Good words.ReplyDelete
Love and Blessings,
- AnonymousMarch 19, 2014 at 12:18 PM
This is just what I have been thinking and praying about myself. Last night I heard a sermon about not losing our boldness as Christians, yet we need to make sure we say it in the right spirit and tone or it's going to do more damage. Good post!ReplyDelete
Very thought-provoking and true! Wounded people, wound others. Hurting people, hurt others. I try to remember that.ReplyDelete
Hi Roxy! I love your image of the light behind the glass. We do need to temper our thoughts and reflect more on the power of our words. I was just writing something along a similar theme.ReplyDelete
I find that I can misunderstand what someone is saying very easily. Taken to heart, I can feel very hurt for no reason at all. Waiting a bit to reflect is a really great idea.
Have a good weekend :)
Good and wise words Roxy!ReplyDelete
Good teaching today!ReplyDelete
Happy highways,
I really appreciate your comments! May they be kind and helpful to encourage my walk, and bless others as they read them. Thank-you!

Losing an adult tooth and being left with a gap in your smile can damage more than your appearance and self-esteem. In fact, you might experience pain while chewing or jaw discomfort. Healthy Smiles Dental Care offers dental bridges to fix your smile. If you're missing a tooth, book an appointment online or over the phone at one of their locations in Chelsea, Flint, Lansing, Barton City (Jewell Lake Dental), and Muskegon, Michigan.
Dental bridges are devices that use the durable surrounding teeth or other structures to anchor in false teeth, bridging the gap left by a missing tooth and restoring your full smile. The bridge includes a custom replacement tooth — or multiple replacement teeth — to close the gap as well as a device to anchor the new tooth or teeth into your mouth. There are four types of bridges that are attached in different ways, and your dentist will determine which type best suits you.
Each type of bridge has a specific purpose. The four types are:
Traditional bridges are the most common type. They include one or more false teeth to occupy the gap, and they are supported by crowns attached to the teeth on either side of the gap.
Similar to traditional bridges, cantilever bridges include one or more false teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, they include only one crown that is attached to the tooth nearest the gap.
Maryland bridges are typically reserved for teeth that aren't used for chewing. They aren't as strong as traditional and cantilever bridges since they aren't cemented in with crowns. Instead, a framework of porcelain or metal holds them in place.
If you're missing more than one tooth, your dentist might suggest an implant-supported bridge. As the name suggests, these are held in place by implants that are attached to your jaw bone.
Bridges have several benefits as a tooth replacement option. These include:
Dental bridges are long-lasting when they are properly maintained. Your dentist will give you care instructions to maximize the longevity of your bridge, no matter the type.If you want to learn more about replacing a missing tooth, book an appointment online or over the phone with Healthy Smiles Dental Care today.

President Donald Trump has canceled another contract to purchase the body parts of aborted babies for research.
The Trump administration has heard the concerns of pro-life organizations and pro-life Americans upset by the news that the FDA and NIH had purchased the body parts of aborted babies for research and this is the second time a federal contract has been scrubbed.
Details uncovered by CNS News in 2018 shed light on an NIH contract with University of California San Francisco, which provides money for fetal body parts to conduct experiments involving "humanized mice."
Aborted baby body parts used in the experiments were taken from healthy, potentially viable unborn babies. According to the report, the aborted babies were 18 to 24 weeks gestation from "women with normal pregnancies before elective termination for non-medical reasons." Another article indicated aborted babies' livers and thymuses also were used. They were between 20 weeks and 24 weeks gestation.

In front of me was the element of water, moving in mid air in a sequence of whorls, arcs and spirals.
I made the intention to transform these to the element of earth and was showing my wife.
After making the intention with deep intensity I surrendered my "self" which was extinguished in a flash, like lightning, and the elements began to inter-be and inter-play.
Water became Earth and manifested a torus, circling our Earth which was the sphere in the centre.
That dream inspired what I will share with you next.
Remembering this is all shared wisdom in Our Shared Heart so you know this already. This is merely a reminder.
One of my most powerful experiences of water and earth was the manifestation of a rare deep sea ocean pearl out of the heart of a bronze Guan Yin statue which I had prayed in front of with a group of friends. The pearl, which I used for healing for many years, reminded me of the fact that 'terma' which is when a physical object such as a Pearl, or Cup like the Grail, or text like the Book of Love, or ritual implement like the Rod of Aaron, is buried in the ground or earth or encoded in a crystal or statue or tree or lake or in the sky appears, that these Signs are in fact reminding us of the many hidden teachings of wisdom which are buried in our bodies, hearts and minds.
One of these hidden teachings is the work of the bodhisattva Protector of the Earth also called Earth Holder (Dharanimdhara) who when Buddha wanted to visit his mother Mahamaya in Tushita Heaven built the road for Buddha to travel on.
The consciousness of being an Earth Holder means to preserve this planet's air water and soil for all living beings. Protecting and preserving our earth and its environment through mindfulness and awareness of what is present is truly crucial in these current times.
Equally we need to awaken the teachings of the Earth Angel within us, to be an Earth Store Bodhisattva (Kshitigarbha) which means a womb or storehouse of the Earth.
The Earth is solid and contains many kinds of jewels (terma) or treasures but so does our heart. Everywhere we go there are beings who need our help, in the darkest places of the universe we can go to rescue those who are in the greatest suffering. There are those who have no freedom or dignity, to whom we can lend a hand, we can reach out to a child in our school system who is bullied or having problems in their own family, for whom a kind word is a jewel or treasure in their day. This is being an Earth Angel.
People who don't fit in their family or society or community need lots of courage and compassion from us, to help them feel the anchor of the Earth Angel so that they in their turn can bring love and compassion to others.
"Breathing in, I am an Earth Angel
Breathing out, I bring the compassion of an Earth Angel to all beings"
Looking into these Jewels, we see all three Jewels, the Christ, Community and Teachings or the Buddha, Sangha and Dharma all live within us. This is inter-being. If we look after our community we are looking after the Buddha, the Christ and the Divine Mother within. When we look after our community and we are all happy and advancing in our practice of the teachings we share, then the holiness of our community increases and our Divine Presence, the true Buddha and Christ within and our true Teachings, the Shared Heart, become clearer. A Christ is a Christ when the Teaching is embodied within each one of us. Every Jewel or Terma or Pearl or Chalice contains the other Jewels. Every one of us is a Christ or a Buddha or a Divine Mother and we each 'contain' each other. Inter-Being. I am you and you are me. "In Lak'ech Ala K'in". This is realised in every moment, through every breath.
And this means every moment, both in waking and in sleep we are realising this together. The body itself, like a mini-planet, provides a doorway to awareness and consciousness.
"Breathing in, my body is calm
Breathing out, my body is calm."
During the day, through calmness, stillness and silence, we meditate on energy entering, stabilising and absorbing in the central channel. We experience the absorptions of the four elements which naturally give rise to the visions of deities and worlds and dimensions and inter-being, which in turn manifest the clear light of being or the Christ Light experience, aspiring to enlightenment for the purpose of freeing all beings in all worlds.
It is amazing to see and perceive the miracle we are, growing together, that through surrender and silence and stillness, we see the Earth Angels we are, where the sky and the earth and the lake and the tree are all Our One Self, for the God-Self is in All.
The process of becoming Earth in alchemy could be simply described as follows
- Our journey to awakening and transformation goes beyond words, ideas and concepts. It is grounded in Liberation, which is a practice of the teachings of love, wisdom and bliss that we contain within us all. That liberation is found in silence and stillness, the portal to the eternal light of being.
- This world and all worlds, all dimensions and all time and form are all Our One Self and so any separation or division of that reality is ultimately illusion.
- The self creates its own suffering and illusion.
- When we make the desire for our own liberation and the liberation of others the strongest desire so that our entire life is dedicated to awakening, we walk the path of the Bodhisattvas, Archangels and Elders.
- Simply, make the intention to bring the self and all suffering of all beings to an end.
- Turn our attention inward towards self-awareness and self-realisation.
- Spend as much time as we can, together, every day, practicing the most rapid, effective and direct method of Self-inquiry to bring the self to an end. When we turn the outward-going mind back to the Self, the Source, and the Heart and be with it in silence and stillness, we will see through the empty 'I' which will be extinguished. This is the real 'Piercing of the Veil'. Self-awareness, moment to moment, is the true, Light Path of devotion or love. Knowledge of our true inner nature as indivisible Bliss Supreme wells up as love inside us. When we are 'grounded' together in this knowing and being we will be at one with the element of Earth and all the elements, which is the healing power of Alchemy.
Love and Light always

LOUD free-form, dead space texture generation and stripped back, Glenn Branca- style studio devolutions from Nina Garcia and her untameable guitar, grinding up every inch of the poor instrument, wiring it through a humble pedal and exploring it's full sonic potential with a certain ferocity and yet, deeply considered prowess.
It's taken us a few weeks to get our heads round the twists and turns of Mariahci - it's stark minimalism staring you in the face and demanding you to get on board. Managing to keep our lunch down over the course of this rickety, INVIGORATING rollercoaster, we are left with a few cracked ribs and an insightful, genuinely exciting sense of thoroughness that recalls the first time we heard Guido Bresaola's "Esterno / Interno" (not a comparison we would make lightly!!) - Bresaola summoning the deepest, DARKEST shudders of the double bass across a whole LP to terrifying, demon-conjuring effect (ye, you just gotta to check that one too!). Highly, highly recommended to any of you sound explorers out there needing to rattle the cage a bit.

Growing-Season Burns Hold Potential for Fall and Winter Forage
The traditional burning season for the Southern Great Plains goes from December to April. However, when land managers limit their burn season to these five months, they often find it difficult to implement the number of burns needed to achieve their goals. This is one reason why more and more land managers are conducting growing-season burns, during late spring through early fall months, to meet some of their prescribed burning goals.

ATV Driver Charged with Intoxicated Manslaughter
A 25-year-old Harris County man has been arrested and charged with intoxicated manslaughter in connection with the death of an 18-year-old woman who was a passenger on his ATV vehicle. Investigators say that Travis Ayers was driving under the influence of alcohol while h was operating an ATV that he and Julia Wardwell were riding on. The pair struck a sport utility vehicle at the intersection of Keith Harrow Boulevard and Queenston Boulevard around 9:30 p.m. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the impact was so great that the ATV spun around and rolled several times. Ayers and Wardwell were thrown from the ATV and taken vial Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital in critical condition. Wardwell later died of her injuries. The driver of the SUV that had been struck was not injured in the crash. In the State of Texas, it is illegal to drive an ATV on a public street. ATV's have a higher center of gravity than other vehicles and is far more prone to spills and the potential for tipping over. Such accidents can cause serious injuries. Drinking and driving or driving under the influence (DUI) is a nationwide problem, and the State of Texas is no different. Driving under the influence of alcohol has been responsible for scores of serious injuries and deaths. A Texas Department of Transportation report shows that there were 16,163 automobile collisions reported involving drivers under the influence of alcohol and 2,829 accidents involving drivers under the influence of drugs. Automobile collisions involving drunk drivers resulted in 904 deaths and over 4,030 serious injuries in the year 2008. In the State of Texas, the legal blood alcohol level that anyone can have to operate a vehicle is 0.08% for holders of a standard driver's license, and the legal limit is set at 0.04% for holders of a commercial driver's license. When a person dies as a result of the actions of a DUI driver, the charge then is elevated to that of intoxication manslaughter, this is an even more serious crime than intoxication assault and it is a second-degree felony. Intoxication manslaughter is punishable by a fine of up to $10,000 and a prison sentence of between 2 and 20 years. A driver convinced of intoxication manslaughter may also face 240 to 800 hours of community service, according to the judge's recommendation. If you or someone you love has been injured or killed because of the irresponsible actions of a drunk driver, give our offices a call. Having an experienced attorney with years of successfully representing clients on your side in the Houston area can make all of the difference. Your attorney can help you receive the compensation and see that justice is served. Give our offices a call with the details of your case. We will match you with an attorney who will give you sound legal advice. We are here to help you. Your initial consultation is confidential, free and without any obligation.

Australia will have a full squad of athletes taking to the water when the 2017 ICF Canoe Slalom season resumes on Friday in the picturesque Italian city of Ivrea.
The 2016 Olympic trio of Jessica Fox, Lucien Delfour and Ian Borrows will all be competing, alongside Ros Lawrence, Noemie Fox, Kate Eckhardt, Daniel Watkins, Warwick Draper, Jaxon Merritt and Tristan Carter.
Jessica Fox with two gold and one silver medal leads the way for the Australian team this season, while the remainder of the squad have enjoyed strong performances that have led to finals appearances.
It will be Merritt's first World Cup for 2017, and just the second for Borrows.
"I missed the first two World Cups for school, I wanted to finish my first semester at university," Borrows said.
"I'm looking forward to getting on the course again, looking forward to racing again.
"I missed being in Europe, I had lots of people sending me photos of the warmth and the good whitewater they were on, while I was home in the gym or on the flatwater, not quite as fun and in an Australian winter."
Rio was Borrows's first Olympics, and he's looking forward to putting into practice what he learned from the experience.
"I think I learned a lot from just racing, and learning how to race from the Rio experience," he said.
"I've been training pretty hard so it will be good to see all that hard work pay off."
Lawrence has been competing in both the K1 and the C1 this season, and is looking forward to competing at one of her favourite European venues this weekend.
"It's big water, so it's fun to paddle on, and you can see the mountains in the background and the Old Town, the food is good, the people are friendly – I love Ivrea," Lawrence said.
"I'm pretty happy with my World Cups, I hope to build on the results from the last block, but it's a work in progress.
"I'm enjoying the C1 a lot, doing a little bit more of that, but enjoying the K1 as well. I think I'll keep doing both, but probably lean towards doing the C1."
The ICF Canoe Slalom World Cup 4 begins Friday night, Australian time, and runs through until Sunday.

Not too long ago, Forbes, launched what's bound to be a fresh annual feature with their first ever Web Celeb 25. It's a list of the biggest, brightest and most influential people on the Internet. From penniless bloggers to geek entrepreneurs, these are the people who are capturing eyes, influencing opinion and who are famous for creating or appearing in Internet-based content. Of course they must be highly recognizable on the Internet.
Now, let's check this interesting list to see who tops the list. Whether hot and sexy look plays a role to help you get onto the list. 🙂
Haha, no doubt about it, the number one spot went to Jessica Lee Rose of Lonelygirl15 who looks so pretty and sexy! I am sure she is no stranger to those of you who visited Youtube everyday. She is well known as Bree, a 16-year-old home-schooled American teenager who recorded her private thoughts into a videos and posted them on YouTube under the name Lonelygirl15 where she attracted millions of fans. However, in August 2006, the videos were exposed as scripted fakes, and Bree was outed as 19-year old New Zealand-born actress Jessica Rose.
Perez Hilton, a controversial celebrity gossip columnist/blogger with a poison pen and hugely popular website landed on the second spot. His website has nothing except tonnes of gossip items about a variety of celebrities. Often he posts tabloid photographs over which he adds his own captions or "doodles" for comedic effect. Just in case you got misled, he has nothing to do with Paris Hilton 🙂
Anyway, here's a quick view of the top ten of the list:
1. Jessica Lee Rose
2. Perez Hilton
3. Markos Moulitsas Zúniga
4. Matt Drudge
5. Seth Godin
6. Jeff Jarvis
7. Glenn Reynolds
8. Amanda Congdon
9. Robert Scoble
10. Kitkat
