People of a certain age sometimes find themselves in need of dental care involving dental crowns instead of a filling, or dental bridges to replace missing teeth. Understandably, in light of the present economy, many patients think first of the expense. But the fact remains that postponed care costs more in the long run, both financially and physically.
In the case of broken teeth, extensive decay or an old filling, a crown is intended to hold the remaining tooth structure together. After a root canal, enamel becomes especially brittle - another candidate for a crown.
A badly damaged tooth, left untreated, causes changes in the mouth that disrupt how the teeth work, chewing patterns, and jaw function. Normal eating habits may be inhibited. Tenderness forces the bite away from one side of the mouth and exerts undue pressure elsewhere. Why not just extract this troublesome tooth?
A missing tooth eventually spells oral disaster, meaning permanent changes to your bite. Because the mouth is dynamic, teeth on either side of an empty space will shift. The teeth next to them move, too. With all this movement, periodontal disease could invade soft tissues. Jaw misalignment, and the pain that goes with it, is likely. So tooth restoration to bolster neighboring teeth and keep the "architecture" of the mouth in good shape is the best course of treatment.
After fillings, crown and bridge work is our first line of defense against oral deterioration. This kind of dentistry brings a lot of satisfaction to both patient and dentist. A transformation happens. With the mouth functioning again, people feel better about themselves.
So call your cosmetic dentist today to find out how you can restore your mouth to total dental health. You'll look and feel better.
It used to be that only movie stars had those dazzling brighter-than-bright teeth. But in recent years many new cosmetic dental techniques have sprung up.
Nowadays, there's no reason you can't have a pretty smile that's the equivalent of Marilyn's (or Tom Cruise's). Here are just a few of the ways a cosmetic dentist can improve the looks and appeal of normal teeth:
Teeth Whitening - Just over the past two to three years new and safe professional teeth whitening systems have been developed. The teeth are covered with gauze and the tooth bleaching (carbamide peroxide) solution carefully applied. After three or four half-hour sessions, you can really see the difference. There are also home tooth whitening products with step-by-step procedures that enhance tooth color over several weeks.
Dental Bonding - Tooth bonding is a simple, single-visit cosmetic dentistry procedure that closes unsightly gapped teeth. We polish and prepare the teeth with a fine etching, then cover them with a composite overlay. There's usually no anesthetic needed, little or no drilling, and the teeth are protected as well as being cosmetically enhanced.
Dental Veneers - Today we have exciting new biomaterials to straighten crooked teeth, as well as brighten and close gaps. We call them porcelain laminate veneers. They're microscopically thin ceramic shells that cover problem teeth - and leave you with something to smile about!

One of the leading manufacturers of access and security solutions, dormakaba, has achieved a new quality standard with the approval of LPCB (Loss Prevention Council Board) for its range of CEN-rated padlocks. Delegates at the Security & Counter Terror Expo 2018, taking place at Olympia London on the 6th March and 7th March, will be able to see the extensive range – now certified to LPS 1654: Issue 1, at booth K61.
Part of the Building Research Establishment (BRE), the LPCB works with the government and industry professionals to set minimum standards to ensure that fire and security products perform effectively.
LPS 1654: Issue 1 is the latest physical security standard and includes the highest level of attack testing for padlocks. The crucial difference between this and other testing standards – such as CEN – is that the security rating classification is determined by the time it takes to remove a padlock based on different types of commonly used tools.
Accreditation is only received through rigorous third-party testing and is designed to offer maximum protection for the UK's infrastructure sectors. Manufactured from hardened steel, the dormakaba padlocks, which have achieved LPS 1654: Issue 1, will be on display at this year's Security & Counter Terror Expo.
Clive Baker, Director of Security Locking at dormakaba commented:
"For those looking to make a robust specification for high security locations – this is an important accreditation to look for. Achieving LPS 1654: Issue 1 status provides our customers with reassurance of the reliability, security and performance of dormakaba padlocks and highlights our continued commitment to industry best practice."

Indefinite Leave to Remain Tier 1 (Exceptional Talent)
Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) is the first goal of all immigrants which makes them free of all sorts of immigration control, work or study restrictions, residence restrictions, and also entitles them to take public funds. Here we will discuss about applying for ILR on the basis of having completed the required time period and compliance with the relevant immigration rules.
Compliance with requirements
The applicant must provide evidences confirming that he has fully complied with all the conditions and requirements of this immigration category throughout the five years' time.
The applicant must have spent a continuous period of:
- 3 years lawfully in the UK, if their last endorsement by a Designated Competent Body was under that body's criteria for "exceptional talent", as set out in Appendix L, or
- 5 years lawfully in the UK, if their last endorsement by a Designated Competent Body was under that body's criteria for "exceptional promise", as set out in Appendix L;
The relevant continuous must have been spent with leave in one of the following categories:
- Tier 1 Migrant (excluding as a Tier 1 (Graduate Entrepreneur) Migrant; or
- Tier 1 (Post-Study Work) Migrant) ; or
- Tier 2 Migrant (excluding as a Tier 2 (Intra-Company Transfer) Migrant).
Absences from the UK
The home office has become quite generous in allowing absences for maximum 6 months in a year, provided the applicant is able to provide evidence that such absences (if that long) were work or business related.
English Language Knowledge for ILR
You can prove English language requirements by having either:
- an English qualification at B1 level
- a degree taught or researched in English
- national of an English-speaking country
Life in the UK Test for ILR
Another important part of fulfilling the knowledge of language and life requires you to pass the Life in the UK test.
The test is required under the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 and taken in order to test the knowledge of British life and sufficient proficiency in the English language.
Spouse / Civil Partner / Unmarried Partner of the applicant and their children who are already on dependant visas, may also apply for ILR provided they also fulfil relevant criteria. If the partner has joined them before 09th of July 2012, he or she must have remained in the UK for two years' time, otherwise he / she must have completed at least 5 years of residence in the UK as the applicant`s dependant, in order to apply for ILR.
If the dependants have not completed the required time period then they would need to apply for further leave to remain application while the main applicant may proceed to apply for ILR.
Administrative Review / Judicial Review
Refusal of Indefinite Leave to remain Application
If the Indefinite leave to remain application is refused by the Home office, the applicant is be given a right of administrative review of the decision that must be exercised within 14 days of the date of service of decision. There will not be any general right of appeal against any such decision made by the home office. If the administrative review also fails, the matter then can be taken to the Upper Tribunal by lodging judicial review proceedings.

A few weeks ago, we wrote about What to Wear Skiing, but almost as important . . . . or perhaps more important is the right attire for the beloved Apres Ski. You know that delightful time in late afternoon when the lifts are closed, skis are stowed and you head to the lounge for something liquid. I clipped the photo above from one of my favorite lifestyle bloggers, Delfina Blaquier of We are Figueras, a stylist, photographer, wife and mother par excellence. Whoops, did I mention that she is married to the dashing and highly skillful polo player, Nacho Figueras. This photo was taken in Aspen when the family was gathered for the St. Regis Snow Polo Tournament, held in December.
For what to wear Apres Ski, look no further than this curated collection of MUST HAVES – a great fur or faux vest, jeans, sweater – this Veronica Beard is the best of the season, and a trusty pair of Sorel Boots. Ski destinations vary in style. From Packing for Travel; "In the States, the great resorts all have an iconic western atmosphere that lends itself to casual cowgirls wear. Europe tends to the alpine vibe with Nordic Sweaters and crisp, piped-wool jackets." This Apres Ski look would be at home in any resort, on any continent.

Apprentice Interpreter & Apprentice Hiking Guide
The Apprentice Hiking Guide Certification is obtained upon successful completion of the Apprentice Interpreter Course and the Group Managment Course. We recommend that you take these courses consecutively and we organize them so the Group Management Course immediately follows the Apprentice Interpreter Course.
In order to be accredited as an Apprentice Hiking Guide, you must register for both the Apprentice Interpreter and Group Management courses separately.
These courses are typically offered in:
- Canmore, Alberta in May, June, November and February
- Jasper, Alberta in May and November
- Waterton Lakes National Park, Calgary, Alberta, Kimberly, British Columbia, Golden, British Columbia, Revelstoke, British Columbia and the East Kootenays of British Columbia when required. If you would like a course in one of these areas please contact email@example.com
- Holland, in partnership with Voshaar Outdoor & Education
- Sault Saint Marie, Ontario as requested
We are working on developing courses in other regions of Canada. If you would like a course offered in your area please contact Tracey Gage at email@example.com
The Apprentice Interpreter Course is 2 days in length and is designed as a stepping stone to the Professional Interpreter Accreditation. It is for guides who are relatively new to interpretive guiding, but it is appropriate for any guides or interested individuals who want an introduction to effective interpretation skills, local natural history, cultural history and park management.
This course is currently taught in English, French, and Japanese.
We also have an apprentice course that can be taught in any other region of Canada or the world. The focus of this course is thematic interpretation and the two days are spent learning these techniques and developing your own program.
The Group Management Course will give you the skills to keep your clients safe and manage your group effectively. The Interpretive Guides Association offers a 2-day, 3-Season (Spring, Summer and Fall) Group Management Course and a 3-day, 4-Season Group Management Course. The 3-Season course is typically offered in May and June, while the 4-Season course is offered in November and February.
Group Management Courses consist of both classroom and field components.
Classroom Instruction includes:
- your legal responsibilities as a guide
- trip planning
- risk management
- group management skills.
The field component is an instructional hike where the course instructor will:

This is a slightly more subdued vintage of this legendary wine, albeit just as sophisticated as past editions. The 2014 Barolo Sperss opens to gorgeous aromas of dark fruit, wet earth and white truffle. The vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba produced much less fruit than average and suffered from bouts of downy mildew during the rainy seasons. But Serralunga d'Alba fruit is also harvested late, and that extra time was important for achieving grape ripeness targets. The wine presents depth and complexity within the context of a thinner vintage. Having said that, the bouquet is spectacular.

The pincushion is a vital tool if you are working in textiles, they are often beautifully made in tiny needle point. I was interested how I would represent stitch with stitch, but also how in doing so I imbued the already lovely object with greater reverence. My pincushion portraits celebrate craft and people who make.

How Chargebacks Impact the Customer Experience
How does a merchant's chargeback management strategy effect the quality of customer relationships? Do disputes and prevention efforts impact customer satisfaction, trust and commitment?
Can merchants protect their bottom line and their reputation?
The Key to Success: Identifying the Source of Chargebacks
One of the primary concerns holding merchants back from engaging in chargeback representment is the belief that disputing chargebacks will negatively impact customer satisfaction.
It's not a wholly unwarranted concern: merchants don't want to risk disputing chargebacks caused by true criminal fraud. The effect would be similar to calling the customer a liar right after he or she had been victimized by fraud. Talk about adding insult to injury!
However, simply accepting all chargebacks allegedly resulting from criminal fraud isn't advisable, either: chargeback reason codes were created in a pre-internet era, meaning there are loopholes in the archaic system that uninformed or unscrupulous consumers can exploit. This so-called "friendly" fraud can be disguised with virtually any reason code—including codes that are associated with unauthorized transactions.
As much as 86% of all chargebacks are cases of friendly fraud—not criminal fraud as the reason codes typically imply. Rather than accepting these chargeback codes at face value, merchants need to determine the real reason for the chargeback.
Merchants have a great deal to gain by engaging in chargeback representment, but only if they can distinguish the true source of their chargebacks. Our exclusive Intelligent Source Detection solution is the only way to isolate chargebacks by source...without it, merchants are fighting blind.

Two Chargeback Issues that CAN Harm Customer Loyalty
Avoiding transaction disputes through effective chargeback management is dependent on the right tools being applied with the right logic. An absence of these key elements can have negative, long-term consequences—including damage to customer retention rates.
1. Automation
When it comes to representment, human oversight is absolutely imperative. Solutions reliant entirely on automation could cause significant customer relations issues.
Automated systems will submit all available information associated with the customer and the transaction in question. This might include everything from profanity and insulting comments made by the customer service representatives to an admission of actual mistakes the merchant made. Considering this information will be viewed by both the bank and the customer, automation without human oversight can easily damage the merchant's reputation.
Moreover, static, automated representment products will ignore everything that looks like criminal fraud, meaning that a lot of chargebacks which could have been won will slip through the cracks.
Without human oversight, automated fraud detection can cause more harm than good. Ask us why.
One of the defining characteristics of Chargebacks911's Tactical Chargeback Representment product is expertly-applied human forensics. Not only does our approach recover lost revenue with greater success, but it also protects the merchant's reputation and retains satisfied customers.
2. Disparaging Comments
Unsatisfied customers who complain online about their experience can damage the merchant's reputation. This reputation damage can prevent future sales and cause higher churn through the perception of low quality and overall satisfaction.
When customers publicize their grievances, merchants experience more chargebacks. Customers feel a comradery with other unsatisfied shoppers and assume they are just another victim of a 'fraudulent' merchant.
Merchants need to monitor their online reputation carefully and respond to public grievances. However, this can be a time consuming process. BBB Review Mediation will ensure customers' issues are addressed without funneling valuable in-house resources away from revenue-generating departments.
The Importance of Challenging Friendly Fraud
Challenging friendly fraud is about much more than just recovering lost revenue; it is a unique opportunity to optimize long-term success.
Merchants who forego their right to representment create a vicious chargeback cycle with dangerous, long-term implications.
Reduced Chargebacks and Happy Customers
Fortunately, merchants hoping to avoid transaction disputes aren't in an 'either-or' situation, but rather a 'both-and.'
It's not an issue of either effective chargeback management or satisfactory client retention rates; it's a case of both stable, profitable payment processing and gratifying customer relations.
Finding this perfect balance, however, is seldom easy.
That's why you need a representment expert who is also a customer retention specialist. You need tactical disputes with an understanding of what should and shouldn't be fought. You need Chargebacks911®.

Tips to Make Traveling With a Little One Easier
Is traveling with a child just too much trouble?
Traveling with a child is completely doable! Even though I had traveled quite a bit before having a baby, I was intimidated the first time we started planning a trip after she was born! But we quickly learned some tricks and tips to make it easy, and we enjoy traveling with our little one now! In this article, I will share those tips with you, and your child will soon be a world traveler!
What You Need to Know About Plane Tickets
• You don't need to purchase a ticket for your child on Domestic flights (in the continental US) if he/she is under 2 years old. If international, there is a small fee.
• Your child doesn't need a photo ID or passport if traveling domestically, however, any age child needs a passport for international travel.
• Call the airline after booking your ticket to have your child added as a "lap child". This means you will hold him/her during the flight and can't take your car seat on board.
What items are necessary and what can you leave at home?
When simply leaving the house with an infant, it feels like you are packing for a cross-country move! Diaper bag, extra clothes, wipes, bottles, breast pump, change of clothes for mom (for those guaranteed diaper explosions or projectile vomiting episodes), pacifiers, bibs, and the list goes on! So let's break down what you actually need to carry on the plane with you. Remember, if your child is a "lap child" and doesn't have a paid seat of their own, then they also have no luggage allowance. That being said, car seats and strollers can be checked for free on any airline, no matter the ticket status. When our child was an infant, here's a list of what I carried on the plane with us:
- Bottles (will explain in further detail below)
- Diapers (enough for your time in the airport, the flight time, and a couple of hours in case of delays).
- One pack of wipes
- Pacifier (this is a great way to prevent tiny ears from being bothered on take-off and landing)
- Change of clothes for baby and mom
- Socks (airplanes are cold sometimes!)
- Burp cloths
- Receiving blanket or baby's favorite
- Manual breast pump (although you can bring your electric on board)
- Hand sanitizer
- Pacifier sanitizer wipes
- Travel changing pad (I like Obecome Portable Waterproof Baby Diaper Changing Pad Kit)
- Infant carrier if you prefer to baby wear. (I used the Infantino Flip 4-in-1 Convertible Carrier, however, my baby was a tiny 5lbs, and was too little for it to start with - check the weight restrictions).
- Toys (as a newborn, she didn't need anything except to eat and sleep, but as she got older, small toys were a lifesaver on flights!)
- Birth certificate
- My purse/backpack (don't forget your own ID!)
- A small travel pillow for when baby's head just gets too uncomfortable on your arm!
Based on yours and your baby's preference, your list may be slightly different than above, but it's a good starting point. If you are traveling alone with your child, then you'll want to limit your baggage, as your hands will already be full with a baby.
Prepare for Delays
Always be prepared for a flight delay! You never know when a 2-hour flight will turn into a several-hour ordeal, so prepare accordingly. While you don't need to take an Amazon order worth of diapers with you, you also don't want to dish out the money for an overpriced diaper at the airport! It's a good rule when traveling with or without an infant to carry one day's worth of clothes in your carry-on, so you'll have something to wear in the event of lost luggage.
What about liquids?
Most people are familiar with the 3-1-1 TSA rule for liquids. However, the rules are slightly different for infants and toddlers. You are allowed to bring formula, breast milk, and juice in quantities larger than 3 oz and they do not have to fit into a quart-size bag. However, you do need to remove them for separate screening, and many times, they will be tested by a TSA agent. You can also bring jarred or canned baby food in your carry-on luggage.
Checked Luggage or Gate Check?
Gate Check Allowed?
Gate Check Fee?
Checked at ticket counter
Checked luggage fee?
Playpen/travel bed
Yes (on most airlines)
Booster seat
Should I take my stroller and carseat to the gate, or check it at the counter?
It is free to gate check your car seat and stroller. If you have a car seat that snaps onto your stroller, this is the simplest way. You'll need to remove the child to go through security. You carry the child through the metal detector with you and put the stroller and car seat through the scanner. Then just put him/her back into the seat. This frees up your hands and saves your arms while waiting at the airport! I recommend a travel bag for both your stroller and car seat.
Other Helpful Tips . . .
- No matter your baby's source of nutrition (bottle or breastfed), feeding at take-off and landing is helpful to prevent pressure changes in ears. If absolutely not hungry, then try for a pacifier.
- Bring wipes to wipe down the seat, tray table, armrests, etc.
- Don't stress over your baby making noise. Try to keep him/her from screaming constantly, but babies make noise and people are more forgiving than you would think.
- Airplanes are cold and dry. A small tube of moisturizing lotion and a blanket will make your tiny travel companion more comfortable.
- Bathrooms on airplanes are small. Don't try to take a huge diaper bag with you. Get a travel changing pad and it will have pockets for diapers, wipes, diaper rash cream, etc.
- Take pictures and document the first flight (hey, we still take pictures and our little girl has over 20 flights under her belt and multiple stamps in her passport!)
Have fun!
Leave the worrying at home . . . and have fun! Having a baby doesn't confine you to home! Travel, introduce your little one to the world at an early age, be flexible, and enjoy every minute!

Sunshine radiated off the snow, causing a sharp glare. Hope surged in Kate at the sight of the plow moving great mounds of snow away from the parked cars. Maybe they could finish their journey today.
Kate quickly got dressed, excited at the prospect of getting out of the hotel. Then she knocked on the connecting door to see if Spencer was up. He answered, "Come in."
"Good morning. I hear hopeful sounds outside in the parking lot." Spencer leaned on the headboard, watching the news. Kate noticed a Bible on the bed beside Spencer where he sat with his legs stretched out. She didn't see him in jeans often, but they looked good on him, with the dark blue knit shirt he wore. Now that she thought about it, she rarely considered what Spencer wore or how he looked. Why was she noticing that now?
"That's great. I've been watching the news to see if we can travel north. Looks like things are a go from here to there."
"Oh, good. Should we have breakfast and head out?"
"Sounds like a plan."
After they ate, they walked back to the room and packed. Kate was glad the sun shone, already melting some snow from what she saw through the lobby windows. Spencer loaded the cart with their baggage and pushed it outside to the parking lot with Kate right behind him. She nearly ran into him when he stopped at his car. Or rather where the car should be.
But wasn't.
Now puzzled, Kate and Spencer left the cart near the front door and walked around the parking lot without finding his Honda anywhere.
"Well this is interesting. Where in the world is your car?"
Spencer frowned. "Didn't I park it there when I got back from the store the other night?" He pointed to an empty parking space to the left of a side entrance door.
"I'm not sure, since it was dark. But it's got to be here somewhere."
"I cannot believe this." Spencer threw up his arms as if to say, 'what now?'
Kate followed behind Spencer with the cart back inside to the front desk. "Excuse me, I'm looking for my Honda that was parked out there. Any idea what might have happened to it?"
The clerk behind the desk stared at Spencer like he had spoken in Swahili. "Sir?"
"I parked my car out there the night of the blizzard and now it's gone." Spencer stared the young guy down. "I'd really like to know where it is. Now." Spencer thumped the counter with his pointer finger for emphasis.
"Uh, uh…just a moment, please." Randy, according to his name tag, disappeared into a small office behind the reception desk.
"What on earth?" Kate asked. Exasperated, she leaned on the counter.
Spencer glanced at Kate, agitation across his face. "I have no idea, but now I'm ticked." He leaned his elbows on the counter and wasn't moving until he found out what happened to his car.
Kate shook her head in disbelief. Where on earth could his car be? And how could it go missing in the middle of a blizzard of all things? Kate removed their belongings from the cart to free it up for someone who had a better use for it. Then she rolled their bags over to a club chair in the small lobby where she plopped down in utter frustration. She leaned her head on her hands, not knowing what to do.
A minute later, a manager came out to the desk and spoke with Spencer. Kate heard their voices, but not what they said. Then she heard Spencer say in a raised voice, "You bet you are and then there will be some compensation for my troubles. I'm on a very important trip and have to get to northwest Iowa as soon as possible. We have people counting on us." Spencer stood his full height and ticked off items on his fingers, though Kate could no longer hear him. She had never seen Spencer act this way, but it made her feel good that he was in her corner. Naturally, he had a major stake in the situation as the car owner.
This was the first time in a long time that Kate needed someone to come to her aid as she thought about their latest trouble. Normally, she was in control as much as possible and took care of herself. But it was Spencer's car and she was relieved he had to deal with it, because what little energy she had left waned along with her sanity. Her emotions were stretching too thin in several directions, leaving her exhausted.
Until next time,

Teacher Learning Cast (TLC) #6:
TLC Socials
First segment: Deeper Learner
Driving question: How can educators create opportunities for (language) learners through deeper learning that merges knowledge and skill sets that align with future demands?
Not only do students learn, its backers say, but they develop the speaking and writing skills they need to convey their viewpoints. (learning perspective)
The schools teach the standard subjects, but many include more collaboration among teachers so that those subjects are taught together. (teaching perspective)
- Project-based approach that's become synonymous with deeper learning.
- Wei said that deeper learning works best when it's incorporated throughout the school rather than limited to a class or two.
- Equity, diversity and poverty
deeper learning competencies as 1) mastering rigorous academic content, 2) learning how to think critically and solve problems, 3) working collaboratively, 4) communicating effectively, 5) directing one's own learning, and 6) developing an academic mindset — a belief in one's ability to grow.
Tweet link to Image (What skills do employers…)
Second segment: Planning based on activities vs. planning based on objectives
How important is it to have a clear view of what the class objective is especially the language focus of the day in order to modify the activities as to fit the major possible practice along the process.
It may be questionable to implement activities which require a long-term context, complex set of processes regarding performance, and a limited timeframe to practice the language focus of the day.
To follow up, here is a link to a video about a research on learning objectives. Dr. Will Thalheimer talks about presenting learning objectives in class: https://www.worklearning.com/2015/01/29/video-on-lobjs/

Hi Guys,
I have a question about importing previous subscribers into membership plugin. I am replacing a couple older ways of securing pages with a proper membership plugin but they were using the regular WordPress subscribers option.
Is there an way to bulk add all the previous subscribers to the members plugin aside from the place where they can be done one by one.
thanks for the help.

Different Kinds of Apples
Shashank Nakate
Feb 26, 2020
If you thought only counting your hair strands would make a tedious task, then you are wrong! If we told you to find out the different varieties of apples in this world, you will most likely lose count after a few hundreds. Here, are some of the kinds that are famous for their taste and known for their recipes.
"Eating apples is good on so many levels. There's fiber in the skin that's really good for you. It helps with digestion and helps you absorb all the nutrients of everything you've eaten that day. Apples are a really good thing." ― Rebecca Romijn
Did you know?
The apple plant is known to have originated in Kazakhstan. From there, it spread to different parts of the world. Unlike the bigger apples of modern-day, a typical apple fruit is small enough to fit in the palm. The history of this delicious fruit can be traced back to the Iron age.
This widely cultivated fruit is known to have more than 7,500 cultivars.
Different Kinds of Apples
Let us understand more about apple varieties and their uses.
Red Delicious Apples
This apple variety has a deep-red color and thick skin. The apple skin is bitter in taste and its edible portion has a crispy texture.
This popular cultivar is preferred over local varieties by farmers. Unlike the rounder varieties, the red delicious apples are thinner. It is best eaten when in the raw state.
Honeycrisp Apples
It is one of the different type of apples with a sweet taste and crispy in the edible portion. Farmers have started growing this variety from the 1990s.
It is a cultivar produced by crossing the Macoun and Honeygold varieties. This apple finds its use in salads, baking, sauces, and many other dishes.
Granny Smith Apples
The sweetness and tartness of Granny Smith apples are well-balanced, which is one of their specialties. These green-colored apples are durable and retain their freshness throughout the shipping journey.
It is possible to store this variety for about 6 months in cold storage. It is one of the different types of apples used for fresh-eating. Applesauce made from this type is considered to be very good.
Ambrosia Apples
In the British Columbia, Ambrosia is considered to be one of the popular kinds. Ambrosia was discovered in the 1990s' decade on a Cawston BC orchard.
The perfumed aroma and honey sweet flavor of Ambrosia makes it one of the best for eating. Moreover, the cut slices of apples don't turn brown quickly. While cooking, Ambrosia apples require less amount of sugar due to the high content of natural sugar present in them.
Golden Delicious
The company called Stark Brothers named this apple variety. The Red Delicious Apple which is named by the same company is a little less sweet than the Golden Delicious.
Juicy flesh and crisp texture are one of the specialties of Golden Delicious. The Golden Delicious is rounder and fatter than the Red Delicious and considered to be good for snacking. As Golden Delicious has a firm texture, baking it becomes easy.
Swiss Gourmet Apples
Known by an alternative name Arlet, the Swiss Gourmet is good for fresh eating and also for different apple pie recipes.
This apple is produced as a result of crossing between the Ida Red and Golden Delicious apples. These apples are medium to large in size and brightly red striped. The crispy edible part is creamy-white in color.
Spartan Apples
It's characterized by a white-crispy edible portion and a deep red-colored skin. The sweet, tangy taste of this apple makes it a children's favorite. The juicy and crispy Spartan apples were developed in the 1920s in Summerland BC.
Empire Apples
The Empire Apple was produced in the 1960s from Red Delicious and McIntosh varieties. These apples have a green background color beneath the red.
This variety is not only a fresh-eating fruit, but also considered as good for cooking, baking, freezing, and also in making sauces.
Names of different varieties other than those mentioned previously are presented.

Being an Academic Seminar Speaker
Earlier this month, I did an academic task that I've never done before. It was my PhD supervisor who suggested it since I was going to be home in Nova Scotia for three weeks and although he said it was only a suggestion since it was my "vacation time", I thought it was a great idea anyway. By that time, I actually got an original research paper get unconditionally accepted for publication by a very good journal. The idea was to get lectures on it at two universities in Nova Scotia that specialised in the math I did, my undergrad university Acadia and Dalhousie University. Now while I have given talks before in my PhD program at Waterloo and at a couple of conferences, this would be the first time I would do it without it being part of something bigger, for example a conference, and in front of others I wouldn't know (which was the case for Dalhousie if not Acadia).
I contacted both universities and after an exchange of various emails finally got something set up. It was great to visit Dalhousie and wonderful to see Acadia again even if it was just for a few hours. And because I already gave the exact same talk at Waterloo, as well as a shortened version of it at a major conference, I wasn't really that nervous about it. I spent a couple of hours doing up detailed notes for myself that I could use as a guide since I was having the talks be straight chalkboard talks.
The talks were each an hour long and took place in the department seminars at the universities. They went great. Even my Dad and an aunt and uncle sat in even though they couldn't really (kind of like take your Dad, aunt and uncle to work day, haha). But they enjoyed seeing me present regardless and could tell that the students and professors were engaged with what I was saying and writing on the chalkboard because the academic audience kept nodding their heads, taking notes, pointing at things I had written down, etc. And the talks were well received too since there were a couple of questions that I could more or less answer at the end. One of the questions required me to think on my feet, but after a few second I managed to give satisfactory answer. Everyone was impressed and the professor I had contacted at Dalhousie even took me out to lunch before the talk there.
I was certainly glad I got the opportunity to do them as it meant both putting more stuff on my academic resume and making more academic connections, which will probably help open doors. It was a great experience regardless.

We're calling these Beauti-Vue woven wood starburst clocks woddities — because unless find one vintage (which we did!) you can't get one made by Beauti-Vue any more.
The clocks were made with the same woven wood used on the company's window shades, but put together in a circular, fanned out shape with a clock face in the center. Beauti-Vue didn't have any more of these clocks hidden away in the back, but Pam found uncovered one for sale on Etsy!
Four Beauti-Vue clock designs spotted in the catalog
Thanks to Beauti-Vue owner Stormy Grumbeck, who let me take home a copy of an old clock catalog to scan and archive here on Retro Renovation.
The sunburst clocks were available in four color ways that coordinated with their swag lamp collection:
Beauti-Vue "Clairmont" clock design:
Pam spotted a real-live Clairmont color scheme Beauti-Vue retro woven wood sunburst clock for sale on Etsy, by seller ThrillofheThrift.
Lookie, the clock face even says "Beauti-Vue!"
And then, shown above, she spotted this Lexington design Beauti-Vue clock on ebay.
Clairmont features the same yarn colors [but different slats] as the swag lamps that Pam and I bought from Beauti-Vue — how neat to see the matching clock!
The Etsy seller says this clock is dated 1977, groovy.
The back of the clock gives you some idea of how the sunburst fan was constructed. I suppose if you really wanted to make your own and could figure out the equation to calculate how much woven wood you need — along with the extra yarn required left at the ends to tie togther — it would be a doable retro crafty project.
Beauti-Vue "Splendor" clock design:
Beauti-Vue "Matalina" clock design:
Beauti-Vue "Lexington" clock design:
Wouldn't these clocks also be neat as mirrors? Pop the hands off, find a circular mirror in the right diameter and boom — instant woven wood sunburst wall mirror.
Mega thanks to Stormy Grumbeck for loaning me this vintage sunburst clock brochure and to Etsy seller ThrilloftheThrift — to see the clock for sale click here — for letting us feature her sunburst clock photos.
Read all of our stories about Beauti-Vue's NOS products
Let's see, I count 78 slats, add 2 to remove so there is extra yarn to tie ends together. Order material about 10 inches wide and you could DIY a clock or mirror and be the envy of the block.
Ready to rock the glue gun? 🙂
Very cool. You've shown us their clocks, lamps, doors, shades; the possibilities seem limitless for Beauti-Vue. What else are you going to surprise us with? Pam and Kate; are you holding out? Let's see; I can't wait for the Beauti-Vue toolboxes covers, umbrellas, hoodies, pillow shams and duvet covers, snow gators, dashboard covers…
Mounted on a paneled wall would appear to be their natural habitat. These would have looked great in the Brady Bunch den.
I can just picture Mike and Carol along with Alice watching the clock waiting for Marcia to get home from her date with Davy Jones!
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!
Mike calling Kojak to borrow a gun to be cleaning when Davy shows up.
That clock face is so quintessentially late 1970's! These are beautiful!
I totally agree! I love the 70's look 🙂
I just…Beauti-Vue is like freaking NARNIA, the way stuff keeps rolling out of there. 😀
Thanks for fixing the RSS feed!
Timekeeping accuracy… within thirty seconds in a 24 hour period… Hmm, that's "up to" 15 minutes in a month. Though, if you work it right, you'll only have to reset the clock once for daylight savings time, it'll make the other change itself. 😀
I realize that's basically a "worst case" scenario, thirty seconds in a day just kind of jumped out at me.
I'm still waiting for the installment that presents fabulous swag lamps made from the strings of plastic curtain-beads.

So, to minimize the morning misery caused by nights of drinking, we've relentlessly studied how hangovers work and what one might do to combat them.
