Why Is Early Orthodontic Treatment Ideal?
While many people believe the best time to see an orthodontist is during the teenager years, early orthodontic treatment is quite beneficial for children and can easily put a stop to certain issues that are starting to occur with the teeth, such as overlapping and overcrowding. Although it is not as common to see younger children with braces, this earlier orthodontic treatment is becoming more popular than ever before because it allows children to have their teeth properly aligned much earlier in life while putting a stop to different issues that can negatively impact the children as they get older.
Handling Issues Earlier in Life
Aside from the cosmetic benefits of undergoing orthodontic treatment and getting braces at a younger age, there are a few other reasons to have children visit the orthodontist when they are as a young as seven years old. When a child starts losing his or her baby teeth and the adult teeth come in, parents may notice that their child's teeth are overcrowded in the mouth. Unfortunately, overcrowding does not just look bad — it is something that makes it more difficult for children to properly brush and floss between their teeth. Those with overcrowding tend to have a greater risk of experiencing tooth loss later in life. It can even lead to gum disease at a certain point.
Because overcrowding can have a negative impact on the condition of both the teeth and the gums, having that problem taken care of sooner instead of later is a wise decision. Any parent could choose to bring their young child into the office of the orthodontist for an examination. The orthodontist may recommend braces for the child, along with a possible extraction of one or more teeth that may be taking up too much space in the mouth.
What Are the Benefits of Early Treatment?
If a child receives early orthodontic treatment, he or she may have an easier time practicing good oral hygiene habits while keeping the teeth in better shape. Chewing becomes easier and those who have struggled with speech because of their teeth could eventually start to notice a major improvement in the way that they can talk. It can even help to put a stop to teeth grinding, which is quite common in children and is something that typically occurs in up to 30% of children.
Some children can truly benefit from early orthodontic treatment at an office like Donald E. Snyder Orthodontics. There is no need to wait until the child gets older to seek treatment if he or she is dealing with certain dental issues, such as overcrowding and overlapping of the teeth.

Newcastle takeover nears as Sheikh Khaled reveals "terms agreed"
Interest in the Magpies has been stepped up in recent weeks.
Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nahyan is working to complete a takeover at Newcastle after agreeing terms with Mike Ashley, the billionaire has revealed.
The Dubai-based tycoon, cousin of Manchester City owner Sheik Mansour and a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, insists he has "agreed terms" and is now attempting to "complete the transaction at the earliest opportunity".
A statement released by the Bin Zayed Group, of which Sheikh Khaled is chairman, said: "We can confirm that representatives of His Highness Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nahyan are in discussions with Mike Ashley and his team, about the proposed acquisition of Newcastle United Football Club.
"We have agreed terms and are working hard to complete the transaction at the earliest opportunity." Spokesman for Sheikh Khaled Bin Zayed Al Nehayan
"We view it as an honour to have the opportunity to build on the strong support, history and tradition of the club.
"We have agreed terms and are working hard to complete the transaction at the earliest opportunity."
Ashley, who bought the Magpies for £134.4million in 2007, has freely admitted he cannot afford to take them to the next level and put the business up for sale for the third time during his tenure in October 2017.
He has always insisted if somebody could provide the finance he cannot, he would happily sell and it remains to be seen if a deal can be pushed through.
The optimism which coursed through the city on Monday will be tempered by those earlier unsuccessful bids and the fact Sheikh Khaled was unable to complete a move for Liverpool last year, although that was valued at around £2billion.
There was no official comment from Newcastle on Monday, although sources on Tyneside indicated that Sheikh Khaled had expressed an interest, but that there was still a distance to go before a deal could be finalised.
Talks with a series of potential purchasers are understood to have taken place in recent weeks with Newcastle having secured their Premier League status for another season, although Ashley is keen for negotiations to be conducted away from the spotlight.
Time is of the essence with manager Rafael Benitez currently engaged in ongoing discussions over his future with just weeks to go before his contract expires and the summer transfer window already open.
He could be forgiven for remaining cautious, even if the prospect of a new owner and significantly improved spending power is exciting Magpies supporters.

Major histocompatibility complex class I diversity limits the repertoire of T cell receptors
Edited by Robert L. Coffman, Dynavax Technologies, Berkeley, CA, and approved January 24, 2019 (received for review May 8, 2018)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is central for self-/non–self-recognition and acquired immunity. The extreme polymorphism of MHC genes, promoted by parasite-mediated selection, contrasts with limited within-individual diversity. The prevailing explanation is a trade-off between increased pathogen recognition and the anti-autoimmune T cell receptor (TCR) depletion mechanism. However, the predicted inverse relationship between individual MHC diversity and TCR repertoire size has not yet been shown. Using a rodent species with a variable number of MHC genes, we detected such an effect for MHC class I, but not class II. Our results thus partially support the TCR depletion hypothesis, but also suggest additional, unexplored mechanisms that might be constraining expansion of the MHC gene family.
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes encode proteins that initiate adaptive immune responses through the presentation of foreign antigens to T cells. The high polymorphism found at these genes, thought to be promoted and maintained by pathogen-mediated selection, contrasts with the limited number of MHC loci found in most vertebrates. Although expressing many diverse MHC genes should broaden the range of detectable pathogens, it has been hypothesized to also cause deletion of larger fractions of self-reactive T cells, leading to a detrimental reduction of the T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire. However, a key prediction of this TCR depletion hypothesis, that the TCR repertoire should be inversely related to the individual MHC diversity, has never been tested. Here, using high-throughput sequencing and advanced sequencing error correction, we provide evidence of such an association in a rodent species with high interindividual variation in the number of expressed MHC molecules, the bank vole (Myodes glareolus). Higher individual diversity of MHC class I, but not class II, was associated with smaller TCR repertoires. Our results thus provide partial support for the TCR depletion model, while also highlighting the complex, potentially MHC class-specific mechanisms by which autoreactivity may trade off against evolutionary expansion of the MHC gene family.

We know what's moving, when to get in and when to get out. MVP Lock Club delivers real winners day in and day out based on hard work and time spent studying the numbers. We cover all major sports and have packages available at bargain prices!
Quantity vs Quality
Which is better?... The answer is neither!
The key to long term profits in sports betting is finding the middle point between quantity and quality.
Below I will show you the difference between quantity, quality and finding the middle point. The example below will show you the profits from different amounts of games and different winning percentages.
Quality: Let's say you wager 1 game per day for a year and you hit 62%, you would finish the year 226-139. Assuming we are Wagering $110 to win $100, you will make a profit of $7,310 in one year.
Quantity: Let's say you wager 5 games per day for a year and you hit 54%, you would finish the year 985-840. Again assuming we are Wagering $110 to win $100, you will make a profit of $6,100 in one year.
Now that you have seen the difference between quantity and quality, take a look at the results if you are able to find the middle point.
Let's say you wager 3 (middle of 1 and 5) games per day for a year and you hit 58% (middle of 54% and 62%), you would finish the year 635-460. Once again assuming we are Wagering $110 to win $100, you will make a profit of $12,900 in one year, that is basically double the profit.
Believe it or not, very few sports bettors are aware of this theory. Either they are throwing money at too many games or they are taking too few games to have a higher winning percentage, but a higher winning percentage does not mean a higher profit.
Finding the middle point is the key to making money in sports betting.

YEAH YEAH YEAHS (live at First Ave.)
May 31, 2009
One of the best shows of my life. I only recently got It's Blitz!; but after just one listen I got goose bumps thinking about going to this show. We weren't the only people holding our breath–when we showed up it was already half full, and by the time Grand Ole Party finished people were pushing and yelling at each other trying to move up. In those 30 minutes of waiting you could feel the crowd's anticipation. They opened with "Heads Will Roll" and right away people were off their feet, more like an airplane taking off than a rock band. It was like that for an entire set that felt like it passed by in a matter of minutes.
Karen O has spectacular stage presence and everything she did made the people scream. She had a button on the floor that shot off y-shaped confetti, which was just as exciting in-show as it was when we discovered it littering the floor afterward. It was such a great show it's hard to pick out the highlights, but I especially loved "Cheated Hearts," "Zero" and "Y Control."
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Faces (on HypeM)
Grand Ole Party opened, and although it's a name I can't figure out because it seems so straightforward (GOP right?), they were great. They were a perfect opener for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and had a similarly charismatic lead singer in Kristin Gundred. We couldn't resist buying their album when she was behind the merch table signing them in person. Looking through the liner notes (I miss those), Blake Sennett is on a few of the San Diego-based group's tracks, which explains why some of you may have seen them opening for Rilo Kiley in the past.
Grand Ole Party – Bad, Bad Man
I've had Fever To Tell and Show Your Bones forever, but I'm now sure that if you haven't seen them live, you don't really know what's on those records.
The thing about all ages shows is that they tend to suck. No drinks on the floor, but plenty of middle-agers (as in they were alive when feudal systems existed). I don't really mind anyone on the floor unless: they have a good spot and don't give a shit or if they're assholes. Why are you parents assholes at shows? Isn't Chris Cornell playing nearby?

Official Community Plan
The Official Community Plan (Bylaw 8769) (OCP) is our collective long term vision for Saskatoon, guiding the physical, environmental, economic, social and cultural development of our community. It provides both inspiration and direction through a comprehensive policy framework to ensure the community's vision for Saskatoon is integrated in to all aspects of planning, decision-making and priority-setting for the City. The direction and goals outlined in the OCP are entrenched in law and recognized under the authority of the Planning and Development Act, 2007.
Official Community Plan Redesign
Why are we redesigning the OCP?
Saskatoon's current OCP was initially approved in 1998 and updated in 2009. Over the last ten years, the City has undertaken a number of significant initiatives that have helped shape a new vision for our city. These initiatives include:
Saskatoon Speaks
Plan for Growth
Strategic Plan
City Centre Plan
Culture Plan
Recreation and Parks Master Plan
Active Transportation Plan
Green Infrastructure Strategy
Heritage Plan
Saskatoon North Partnership for Growth
All of these initiatives have included extensive public consultation and have been endorsed by City Council.
In order to reflect the new vision set by these initiatives, the City has undertaken a comprehensive review and redesign of the OCP. Through this process a new, draft OCP is nearing completion. The draft will be brought forward to various City Advisory Committees and the Municipal Planning Commission, before going to the relevant Standing Policy Committees and eventually City Council for consideration.
OCP Redesign - By the Numbers
Committee Reports
Over the course of the next few months, the draft OCP will be brought forward to various City Advisory Committees and the Municipal Planning Commission, before going to the relevant Standing Policy Committees and eventually City Council for consideration.

Poem: Flight
I'm here to let you in on a secret:
I've learned it over the years, with my wind-battered face towards the wind.
Your shell is not meant to shield you
from the world's hardships and tribulations.
My darling, you were meant to break out of it.
There's a world outside of that exoskeleton,
full of beautiful new experiences,
people to hurt you.
Moments to cradle in your heart when the fire inside extinguishes.
Abandoning the safety and warmth of everything you've known, you'll feel your wings emerge. Slowly at first. And then at once, you'll know.
It is only with wings that one can fly.
And so, my dear, as you venture out into the world, another day older and so much wiser, remember this:
Love with reckless abandon.
Learn to crave the way an unsatisfied heart aches, and embrace the relative comfort of being uncomfortable.
Grow so tall and brave that your wings touch the sky before your ego ever will.
Continue to amaze me and everyone blessed with watching you learn to fly since you took your first breath.
Shells are not a safety device. They're a grand curtain to reveal the magic yet to come.
Connect with me!

Page's Birth Story
Isabelle Fresh 48/Newborn - 2016
Fresh 48 - Kort
About 3 years ago, at the library story time that I take my youngest daughter to, I met this very sweet young mom with a daughter about the same age as mine. We decided to get together with the girls and have a playdate. Fast forward and Kelsey and I have become very good friends and our girls are besties! In that time I have had the privelege to watch this family grow, first adding the busy little Finnegan and now this beauty named Norah. I am so blessed to have been able to capture all of these moments for the Korts.
This is the first time that I have done a "Fresh 48" and I was so excited to have the opportunity to do this for Kelsey. What a joy!!! If you haven't thought about capturing these special moments, please rethink it. They change so very fast and it's easy to forget all the little details. I will be photographing her newborn photos is about a week, so stay tuned.
Kort Family
If you are a follower, you will recognize this beautiful family. In just a few weeks they will be welcoming another little girl to their home. What fun we had!

I have purchased access to the online calculus textbook, Hughes-Hallett, Applied Calculus, 4e, and enrolled in the class MATH 127/128: APPLIED CALCULUS, Math 128 - Fall 2017 - Johnston, which is run by ERICA FARELLI, and HANS JOHNSTON. It is a Fall 2017 course. This is unfortunately the incorrect course, and I should be enrolled in the MATH 127/128: APPLIED CALCULUS, MATH 127 Johnston (Sections 5 & 6) course which is administered by HANS JOHNSTON, which is also a Fall 2017 course. Both courses use the same textbook so hopefully there should be no issue in switching classes for me. However, I am unable to send an email to support (error: timed out) and I am unsure of what to do next. Is there something I can do myself? Is there a number I can call to fix this situation?

Visualizing the Wealth of Nations
Visualizing the Wealth of Nations
Just as there exists a longstanding inequality in the distribution of household wealth, so exists a considerable differential in the amount of wealth held by countries on the international stage.
Simply put, some nations are "haves", while many others are "have-nots".
"Wherever there is great property, there is great inequality."
– Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations
Ranking Riches
We previously showed you how the ranking of the richest countries in the world has changed over the course of the last 10 years (2008-2018).
Today's chart keys on a slightly different question.
What are the wealthiest nations today, both in absolute and per capita terms, and how is this list projected to change over the next decade? Let's see how the wealth of nations stack up.
Private Wealth: Now and in the Future
Using data from the Global Wealth Migration Review, here are the 10 wealthiest nations both now and as forecasted in 2028.
|Wealth (2018)
|Wealth (2028F)
|Approx. Growth
|🇺🇸 United States
|$60.7 trillion
|$72.8 trillion
|🇨🇳 China
|$23.6 trillion
|$51.8 trillion
|🇯🇵 Japan
|$19.1 trillion
|$24.9 trillion
|🇮🇳 India
|$8.1 trillion
|$22.8 trillion
|🇦🇺 Australia
|$6.0 trillion
|$10.8 trillion
|🇬🇧 United Kingdom
|$9.1 trillion
|$10.0 trillion
|🇩🇪 Germany
|$8.8 trillion
|$9.7 trillion
|🇨🇦 Canada
|$6.0 trillion
|$7.8 trillion
|🇫🇷 France
|$5.9 trillion
|$6.4 trillion
|🇮🇹 Italy
|$3.8 trillion
|$4.2 trillion
It's worth noting that these figures are meant to represent wealth, which is defined as the total amount of private wealth held by individuals in each country. It includes assets like property, cash, equities, and business interests, minus any liabilities.
China has been the best performing wealth market in the last decade, and these projections show the country as continuing on that track. In fact, both China and India are expected to see triple-digit growth in private wealth between now and 2028.
As far as developed countries go, it's not surprising that growth rates are much more modest. In Europe, countries like Great Britain, Germany, France, and Italy are only expected to add 10% to private wealth in 10 years, while Canada (30%) and the U.S. (20%) do marginally better.
One notable exception here is Australia, which is expected to add 80% to private wealth over the timeframe – and it will leapfrog both Germany and the U.K. in the rankings in the process.
Wealth per Capita
Here's a look at the wealth of nations in a different way, this time with numbers adjusted on a per capita basis.
|Est. Population
|Wealth per capita (2018)
|🇲🇨 Monaco
|🇱🇮 Liechtenstein
|🇨🇭 Switzerland
|🇱🇺 Luxembourg
|🇦🇺 Australia
|🇳🇴 Norway
|🇺🇸 United States
|🇸🇬 Singapore
|🇭🇰 Hong Kong
|🇨🇦 Canada
When using per capita numbers, it's absolutely no contest.
Monaco, the city-state on the French Riviera, is a money magnet with $2.1 million of private wealth per citizen. This means the average Monacan is at least 10 times richer than the average North American or European.
Liechtenstein, a microstate that sits in the Alps between Switzerland and Austria, also has a high average wealth of $786,000 per person. Like Monaco, its population is well under 50,000 people.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that three countries on the per capita list also made the overall list. Put another way, the countries of Australia, Canada, and the United States can all claim to be among the wealthiest of nations in both absolute and per capita terms.

Visualizing the Biggest Risks to the Global Economy in 2020
The Global Risk Report 2020 paints an unprecedented risk landscape for 2020—one dominated by climate change and other environmental concerns.
Top Risks in 2020: Dominated by Environmental Factors
Environmental concerns are a frequent talking point drawn upon by politicians and scientists alike, and for good reason. Irrespective of economic or social status, climate change has the potential to affect us all.
While public urgency surrounding climate action has been growing, it can be difficult to comprehend the potential extent of economic disruption that environmental risks pose.
Front and Center
Today's chart uses data from the World Economic Forum's annual Global Risks Report, which surveyed 800 leaders from business, government, and non-profits to showcase the most prominent economic risks the world faces.
According to the data in the report, here are the top five risks to the global economy, in terms of their likelihood and potential impact:
|Top Global Risks (by "Likelihood")
|Top Global Risks (by "Impact")
|Extreme weather
|Climate action failure
|Climate action failure
|Weapons of mass destruction
|Natural disasters
|Biodiversity loss
|Biodiversity loss
|Extreme weather
|Humanmade environmental disasters
|Water crises
With more emphasis being placed on environmental risks, how much do we need to worry?
According to the World Economic Forum, more than we can imagine. The report asserts that, among many other things, natural disasters are becoming more intense and more frequent.
While it can be difficult to extrapolate precisely how environmental risks could cascade into trouble for the global economy and financial system, here are some interesting examples of how they are already affecting institutional investors and the insurance industry.
The Stranded Assets Dilemma
If the world is to stick to its 2°C global warming threshold, as outlined in the Paris Agreement, a significant amount of oil, gas, and coal reserves would need to be left untouched. These assets would become "stranded", forfeiting roughly $1-4 trillion from the world economy.
Growing awareness of this risk has led to a change in sentiment. Many institutional investors have become wary of their portfolio exposures, and in some cases, have begun divesting from the sector entirely.
The financial case for fossil fuel divestment is strong. Fossil fuel companies once led the economy and world stock markets. They now lag.
– Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis
The last couple of years have been a game-changer for the industry's future prospects. For example, 2018 was a milestone year in fossil fuel divestment:
- Nearly 1,000 institutional investors representing $6.24 trillion in assets have pledged to divest from fossil fuels, up from just $52 billion four years ago;
- Ireland became the first country to commit to fossil fuel divestment. At the time of announcement, its sovereign development fund had $10.4 billion in assets;
- New York City became the largest (but not the first) city to commit to fossil fuel divestment. Its pension funds, totaling $189 billion at the time of announcement, aim to divest over a 5-year period.
A Tough Road Ahead
In a recent survey, actuaries ranked climate change as their top risk for 2019, ahead of damages from cyberattacks, financial instability, and terrorism—drawing strong parallels with the results of this year's Global Risk Report.
These growing concerns are well-founded. 2017 was the costliest year on record for natural disasters, with $344 billion in global economic losses. This daunting figure translated to a record year for insured losses, totalling $140 billion.
Although insured losses over 2019 have fallen back in line with the average over the past 10 years, Munich RE believes that long-term environmental effects are already being felt:
- Recent studies have shown that over the long term, the environmental conditions for bushfires in Australia have become more favorable;
- Despite a decrease in U.S. wildfire losses compared to previous years, there is a rising long-term trend for forest area burned in the U.S.;
- An increase in hailstorms, as a result of climate change, has been shown to contribute to growing losses across the globe.
The Ball Is In Our Court
It's clear that the environmental issues we face are beginning to have a larger real impact. Despite growing awareness and preliminary actions such as fossil fuel divestment, the Global Risk Report stresses that there is much more work to be done to mitigate risks.
How companies and governments choose to respond over the next decade will be a focal point of many discussions to come.
Chart of the Week
The Sum of Its Parts: The Smartphone Multiplier Market
Every day, 3.3 billion people rely on their smartphones to stay connected. The products and services enabling this—the smartphone multiplier market—is now worth $459 billion.
The Sum of Its Parts: The Smartphone Multiplier Market
There's a 60% chance you're reading this article on a smartphone right now—a testament to how ubiquitous these devices have truly become in our lives.
We rely on smartphones every waking minute to stay connected. However, the various products and services—also known as the smartphone multiplier market—that allow us to use these devices in the first place can often be an afterthought.
Today's chart uses data from Deloitte Insights to show just how sizable this ecosystem is becoming, and why it's heating up as a battleground for big technology companies such as Apple, Alphabet, and Amazon.
The Smartphone Plateau
There are over 3.3 billion smartphone users in the world today.
The smartphone economy—estimated to pull in $944 billion in total revenue in 2020—is so massive that it rivals the GDP of countries like Indonesia and the Netherlands.
At the moment, the smartphones themselves contribute over half the market value. Despite the continued hype surrounding the release of new models, global unit shipments of smartphone devices appears to have reached a saturation point:
There are two theories as to why shipments are leveling off. First, product innovation is more iterative today than in the past, which means there are fewer groundbreaking features to entice consumers into purchasing new devices. A second factor is that people are simply holding onto their devices for longer than in the past.
As device sales plateau, tech giants are diversifying efforts to find new ways to lure customers back in—and another related market is growing more lucrative as a result.
What is a "Smartphone Multiplier"?
When people think of the smartphone market, hardware likely springs to mind first, but an equally important part of the equation is the plethora of apps, services, accessories, and complementary devices that help us connect with the digital world.
The ecosystem of these products and services are known as smartphone multipliers. According to Deloitte, this ecosystem will drive $459 billion of revenues in 2020, an impressive 15% increase from the prior year.
The market can be broken down into three main categories:
|Market Value (2020e)
(68% of total)
|$176B: Mobile ads
$118B: Apps
$10B: Music
$8B: Video
(24% of total)
|$77B: Accessories
$25B: Wearables
$9B: Smart speakers
(8% of total)
|$18B: Insurance
$12B: Repairs
$4B: Others
$3B: Storage
Largely driven by mobile advertising and app sales, content is by far the largest subcategory, accounting for 68% of revenues:
- Mobile advertising surpassed TV as the largest advertising channel in 2019, partially thanks to the relentless growth of online video and social media, making ads virtually unavoidable on a smartphone.
- Gaming apps are benefiting from the immense processing power of today's smartphones—and will bring in over two-thirds of total app revenue in 2020. Apple's app store brought in approximately $1.8 billion in sales between Christmas Eve and New Year's Day alone.
If you've ever owned a pair of headphones or a powerbank, it's easy to understand why accessories are the third-largest subcategory in the smartphone multiplier market. With more people ditching the cable for wireless headphones, this subcategory is also set to grow even more.
The Next $1T Economy?
In the U.S., 73% of adults go online several times a day or almost constantly, which makes it clear that they aren't going to give up their smartphones anytime soon.
As a result, smartphone multipliers will continue to evolve and flourish, presenting a unique opportunity for investors and businesses.
Altogether, it's expected that the smartphone multiplier market will grow between 5 and 10% annually through 2023, likely propelling the entire smartphone economy past the $1 trillion benchmark in the coming years.

Adding another exclusive in a long list of specially built items available only from Brownells, we've teamed up with VLTOR to offer an enhanced model of the company's AR-15 Ambidextrous Charging Handle.
Machined from billet aluminum and featuring added material left in place to strengthen stress points, the charging handle is purpose-built to handle the harshest environments imaginable.
Each Brownells/VLTOR charging handle features latches on the left- and right-hand sides of the unit, and the oversized design allows the force of a user's pull to be distributed evenly across the entire handle. This redirects stress away from the roll pin, preventing breakage. The charging handle is available only in an all-black finish.
Stripped, small pin, semi-auto lower receiver is precision machined from a durable, 7075 T6 aluminum forging. Stamped "Cal Multi," this versatile mil-spec receiver can be the foundation for rifle builds on 5.56/.223, 6.5mm, 6.8mm, 300 AAC Blackout, 9mm Luger, or other chamberings that fit the standard AR-15 receiver. Holes, inletting and pin locations have been cut to final dimensions and accept standard AR-15 magazines and components. Clearly stamped safe/fire switch position indicators ensure that you can easily identify the service state of the rifle.
SPECS: 7075 T6 aluminum, hardcoat anodized. Small pin, .154" (3.9mm) hammer/pin holes. .250" (6.3mm) pivot/takedown pin holes. FFL required for purchase.
Looking to build your next AR-15 rifle? The Colt AR-15 M4 Complete Lower Receiver provides AR builders with the perfect foundation upon which to construct the rifle of their dreams.
The Colt AR-15 M4 Complete Lower Receiver is made entirely from 7075-T6 aluminum and features a black hardcoat-anodized finish for added durability.
The Colt AR-15 M4 Complete Lower Receiver is built using the same parts and the same attention to detail as the company's popular line of LE6920 AR-15 rifles.
Sometimes you want the latest, updated, tweaked component, and sometimes you need a basic stripped receiver where the production effort goes into quality, rather than bells and whistles. The Brownells M4 Stripped Upper Receiver is that component - the perfect starting point for many an AR-15 build.
Starting with a 7075 T6 aluminum forging, our stripped M4 flattop upper is precision machined to final dimensions that make it compatible with the multitude of available "mil-spec" AR-15 components. It has a matte black, Type III hardcoat anodized finish, mirroring the military requirement.
Inside our upper features M4 feed ramps to aid in chambering during high rates of fire. And outside the T-marks in the Picatinny rail's slots are painted to aid in fast exchanges of optics.
Please note: this is a truly stripped upper receiver, with NO forward assist or ejection port cover installed, so you can truly customize every aspect of your rifle. The Brownells M4 Stripped Upper Receiver is a top-tier upper receiver, at a great price.
The SB Tactical SBA3 Pistol Stabilizing Brace adds 5 positions of adjustments for the perfect fit as well as offering all of the benefits of a pistol arm brace.
The minimalist design features compatibility with a standard mil-spec carbine receiver extension, an ambidextrous QD socket, and an adjustable nylon strap.
Available in both black and flat dark earth, the SB Tactical SBA3 Pistol Stabilizing Brace is a great addition to your next AR pistol build.
Does not include the lock nut or end plate. Those will need to be purchased separately.

So while in America I obviously had to buy some makeup as it is loads cheaper over there. I went into Sephora first and then popped into the MAC store. Also, I couldn't pass by Bath and Body Works with out picking up some PocketBacs (they smell amazing and I use them all the time). As well as this, I went out shopping the other day and bought a couple of other things, mostly just replacements.
Firstly, my america buys…
Two MAC lipsticks: The swatch on the left is Creme Cup in the Cremesheen finish and the one on the right is All Fired Up in the Retro Matte finish. My picture didn't quite do it justice, so I've used the one off the website. I love both of the colours but I'm not sure about the finishes. The cremesheen doesn't cover that well but has awesome staying power and the retro matte is quite hard to apply, but once it is on it is incredible. I tried to pick a colour I could wear day to day and one I would save for when I wanted to go all-out.
Next I treated myself to a perfume:
Chance by Chanel in Eau Fraiche (It's a really pretty green colour, but that's not why a bought it, honest).
Then I invested in a product I have heard so much about but never tried: Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner
So far so good. I found it a little difficult to apply at first but I think I am getting the hang of it. It only takes a tiny amount to get the line I like and it lasts all day- it really does live up to its name.
I also restocked my Prime Time primer by Bare Minerals. I would say this is my favourite primer but then it is the only primer I have ever used. I love the results it gives so won't be using any others any time soon.
I picked up 5 hand sanitisers from Bath and Body Works but I could only find four of them:
My favourite is the top right, it's called Dazzling Diamond and it smells amazing! It leaves glitter on your hands though so I try not to touch my face after use.
Back in the UK I have bought two things:
I usually go for the matte finish but decided to try out the original formula. I am really liking it so far and will probably stick with this from now on, it's goodbye to the matte finish!
Also, I really love red lipsticks but can never find the right shade. I was hoping to buy MAC's Ruby Woo but didn't see it so I found (what I think to be) a good substitute, at least for the time being. It is Mayfair Red Lady by Rimmel. Apologies for the picture quality, the camera wouldn't focus. It is essentially a bright red, kind of boring but makes a statement.
So there we have it, my beauty buys from my trip to America and a couple from after my return home.

One of the other fun aspects of the trip to South Africa was Grand being asked, by the radio hosts, to sing the 1978 Gloria Gaynor disco-anthem, "I Will Survive".
Grand does a great cover version of the song infusing it with just the right amount of a country-tinge in his vocal performance to make the tune his own. I think he should release the song as a single. Take a listen. What do you think?

Getting married is a magical time, but can also be one of the most stressful events of your life. There is so much to plan, such as the cake, the flowers, the venue, that it can all be overwhelming at times. Read this article to learn more on wedding planning and stay in control.
Choosing your favorite gown online can be faster and cheaper, but do so well in advance to allot extra time for alterations. In fact I spent $300 in total, $100 for the gown itself, and only another $200 for the tailoring. Make sure you consider this cost in your wedding budget.
Realize that religion is going to play a major role on your actual wedding day and moving forward in your marriage. Talking to your partner about his or her religion is important, but talking to the in-laws about their religion is essential, as well.
You can plan a personalized wedding by choosing elements that reflect who you are. Choose a theme that matches your time together!
It is a good idea to hear the speeches of those who will be speaking at your wedding so you know that their comments will be appropriate. There will be a lot of different generations at your wedding, and a joke that young people can relate to might not be good for elders to hear.
Have your wedding on the property of a family member or friend. If you know someone who has a large farm, or even just a huge backyard, you can eliminate one of the larger costs of your wedding. You can even have someone come in and clean it up before the big day.
Have your wedding on the property of friends or family. Having your wedding in someone's yard or even farm can reduce wedding costs. Your only cost will be hiring someone who can come in before the wedding to set up and stay after to clean.
The most important thing when considering marriage is the person you will be marrying. Absolutely do not make this life-changing decision in haste. Consider the person and what about them you can't live without, and also the things about them that might irritate you.
Of course, your most important priority is to ensure that you love your prospective spouse and want to spend the rest of your life with him. Do not make a hasty decision. Take care to consider the person's characteristics–both the things that you love about them and the aspects that are challenging.
Too many flower arrangements on the guest tables at your reception are usually an interference and an extra unnecessary expense. Much of the time, table arrangements will just be in the guests' way. In addition, some guests could be allergic to flowers. Adorn the tables with romantic, non-scented candles instead.
Those brides that are lovers of fashion and luxury can have bouquets embellished with rhinestones, diamonds, or Swarovski crystals. You can create this look by using adhesive to affix crystals, a beloved heirloom or costume jewelry to the bouquet. Make sure that it will match everything else in your wedding outfit by remaining consistent with the colors you choose, the cut, and also the size of your stones.
If your family will be traveling a far distance to your wedding, invite them to extend their trip a little. Everyone can save if you stay longer, as you will likely get a great discount from the hotel. This can help them have a memorable day and a great vacation.
If you have a large wedding cake decorated in brightly colored icing that has its own stand, consider placing the stand on some color-coordinated fabric to create a stunning focal piece. To make things interesting, fabric can be solid, patterned or heavily textured materials of silk, satin or velvet.
You'll want to be able to dim the lighting at the wedding reception. While this might seem like a little detail, a lower light for the first dance is always preferable, while you will want things a little brighter during the speeches part of the ceremony. Check out the lighting available at different venues before picking one.
If you can afford it, you can try having a wedding on the cruise you like. You could just invite only those close to you. This means you can start your honeymoon immediately. Cruise companies often have special packages and rates regarding honeymoons and weddings on their ships.
When you are planning table seating, try to set guests in pairs, so you can ensure every table has an even number of those sitting at it. As well, consider grouping tables by the ages of guests. This way those at the tables will have more to talk about.
Decorate your wedding with items which represent your hobbies or passions, such as traveling the world. You could also send out invitations that look like postcards or boarding passes, for instance. Distinctive props can be used to hold items for the wedding guests to see.
If you wish to have a wedding cake that stands out and is a focal point in your reception, you may want to consider a matching piece of fabric. Your fabric could have patterns or solids and range from heavy textures to silk or satin. All of this can play up visual interest and tie various facets together into a cohesive aesthetic.
For instance, think about filling a menu with popular choices in a contemporary fusion style. Make the meal more original with an ethnic dessert or traditional drinks.
If you are looking for some local assistance for your wedding, have a look on Craigslist. To ensure your safety, meet the interested party in a public place before giving them any money.
It's important to have a backup plan if you want your wedding ceremony or reception to be held outdoors. Have some tents on hand, or choose a venue that provides both indoor and outdoor space. Mud can ruin footwear, so for the convenience of your guests it is a good idea to lay down planks of wood for them to walk on.
If you want to have multiple courses during your meal, give them some sweets and appetizers on every table to keep them busy as serving takes place. Why not look for sugar roses that match your wedding theme.
Make sure your caterer knows you desire an outdoor wedding reception. Certain foods do not do well in extremely warm temperatures; others are not heavy enough to withstand the wind. You may want to tell your caterers to brings some stylish covers to preserve certain dishes. A small refrigerator can be used to keep the drinks cold if needed.
If both bride and groom have a love for travelling, then incorporate a wedding theme that includes this passion. Invitations and RSVP cards can be written in old script and yellowed to imitate antique postcards. Vintage luggage, post cards and vacation photos can be part of your wedding decor.
Determine in advance if you want kids at your wedding. If you don't allow children, you may be able to save money and avoid stress. On the other hand, there may be adults who won't attend because you did not invite their children or they can't find a sitter.
Table centerpieces at a wedding may set you back financially and can actually be a hindrance, instead of an asset, if not artistically simplistic and pleasing. Instead of going all out and putting an elaborate centerpiece at each table, keep them small. If the centerpiece is too big, it becomes a distraction, making it difficult for people to interact as well as enjoy their food.
Are you the groom? If so, buy a tux that fits you like a glove. Ask trusted friend or family to give you an honest appraisal of the tuxedo you are considering. There may be photographs taken, so look your best at your wedding. This will be an event to remember!
When the wedding party is from different backgrounds, flexibility is important when planning the big day. This creates a memorable and intriguing contrast that is sure to satisfy family traditions on both the bride and groom's sides.
When you are thinking about decorations, especially the flowers, remember your wedding's location. For example, a tall, complicated arrangement may get toppled over on a windy day. Special equipment and fasteners will likely be needed to secure your decorations at outdoor venues.
Make sure you know what you are doing when it comes to a destination wedding. No matter the fees, red tape, residency requirements or other issues, your needs must be addressed before you start booking services and hotels for your wedding.
A lot of people dream of their wedding for their whole lives, right up to the moment it happens. This gives weddings an almost ethereal feel. While magical, weddings are filled with nuance that can overwhelm even the most organized hostess. Hopefully, this article has provided you with all the advice you need for the big day, and totally ready for your happily ever after.
Gift registries are traditional parts of weddings. To keep things peaceful, be sure guests don't feel obligated to buy you something. Give them varying price ranges and several gift options to choose from. People need to be comfortable giving what they are able to afford bringing.

peep at (someone or something)
peep at (someone or something)
To get a quick, cursory, often sneaky or surreptitious look at someone or something. I peeped at the boss's computer, and it looks like there's a round of layoffs on the way. Campus guards caught him trying to peep at the women getting changed in their locker rooms.

An Open Letter to Sheryl Sandberg From Dr. Kate Naumes ND8 May
Dear Sheryl,
I enjoyed the letter that Alexandra Chang wrote to you in the latest issue of WIRED – it has inspired me to write one of my own. I want to tell you what I think about your enlightening new book urging women not to shy away from ambition and leadership. But first, a little bit about why I'm writing you…
Since my teenage years, I've felt strongly that women had something particular to contribute to a healthier world. For my undergraduate studies, I choose Mount Holyoke College – a beautiful, rural all women's college – in hopes of finding role models that would inspire, create, and contribute to a more feminine world. I hoped these role models could help me figure out how to find the freedom to be my best self and support other women to do the same. While studying Biochemistry didn't exactly get me any closer to that goal, it was a part of my path to naturopathic medical school and midwifery, where it seemed I'd finally found a feminine paradigm for medicine that supported women to be free of the beliefs that don't promote self-love.
Now that I've just finished reading your book, Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead, I must say that I'm heartened by many of your suggestions and glad to see you open up a new chapter in the ongoing conversation about women, work, and family. As you point out, thirty years after women became 50 percent of the college graduates in the United States, men still hold the vast majority of leadership positions in government and industry. And so, I think it's important that you are encouraging women to "sit at the table," to seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals.
That said, I don't think it's enough to offer strategies for women to better succeed mostly by acting like men in a man's world. Rather, for women to be better represented in government, higher education, corporate boardrooms, and public life, I think we need to reimagine what work looks like.

Have you wondered whether Naturopathic Care is a good investment?13 Sep
The Scientific Affairs Committee of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians compiled data and released the following paper earlier this year:
Naturopathic Medicine:
A Key Part to Healing the Nation's Financial Health Care Crisis
Increasing levels of chronic disease including: diabetes, heart disease, chronic pain, cancer and obesity, have created a multi-trillion dollar financial burden on the medical system. Naturopathic medicine may reduce the need for expensive conventional care by promoting health and decreasing the need for medical interventions over the long term. Naturopathic doctors are primary care providers that treat acute and chronic conditions as well as address health promotion and disease prevention.
Naturopathic medicine costs less than conventional care.
- Use of natural health products has the potential to improve health outcomes and reduce cost compared to conventional treatment by anywhere from 3.7- 73%. (1)
- A 2006 University of Washington study found that in WA State, naturopathic care cost insurers $9.00 per enrollee vs. $686.00 for conventional care. (2)
- Manual therapy cost less than primary care for neck pain and decreases recovery time, thereby also improving productivity. (3)
- One year of a lifestyle intervention program (similar to that recommended by naturopathic physicians) for patients with coronary artery disease not only improved all health outcomes and reduced the need for surgery but also cost significantly less then conventional treatment ($7,000 vs $31,000 –$46,000). (4)
- Naturopathic care, when used for reduction of cardiovascular risk factors (high blood pressure and cholesterol, for example) improved health and increased job productivity, and was determined to actually be a cost-saver for an employer. (5)
- Naturopathic care used for chronic low back pain, not only cost less than a standard physical therapy regimen but also decreased absenteeism by up to 7 days in a worker's year. (6)
Naturopathic medicine decreases the need for medical interventions by improving patient wellbeing, preventing disease and treating disease by improving health.
- The naturopathic emphasis on prevention and health promotion saves lives and dollars. Lifestyle modification counseling prevented more cases of diabetes than drug treatment. (7)
- It is estimated that if the current level of medical intervention continues the US will end up spending $9.5 trillion dollars over the next 30 years caring for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and congestive heart disease alone. By adding preventive strategies to improve patients' health, total cost could be reduced approx. $904 billion or almost 10%. (8)
- Although the initial cost of prevention and treatment using natural medicine is sometimes similar to conventional care the benefits gained by avoiding disease and their associated costs are invaluable and much preferred by patients. (9)
- Patients who received intensive lifestyle modification and naturopathic therapy for type II diabetes improved all health scores (lipid levels, body fat percentage, etc.) and decreased medication requirements compared to those on standard therapy, in just one year. (10)
The use of naturopathic medicine decreases total medical expenditure.
- Total expenditure on health care by insured complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) users is less than non-CAM users ($3,797 vs $4,153); this is an approximate $9.4 million saving for just 26,466 CAM-users (11)
- Patients with the greatest disease burden, which tend to be the most expensive patients, show the most significant reduction in total medical expenditures when utilizing CAM.(12)
- Naturopathic doctors are the bridge between alternative and conventional care and model true integrative care. Patients who receive care from an integrative primary care physician have reduced medical costs and need of medical intervention when compared to those receiving conventional primary care. (11)
- Naturopathic care in Canada reduces the use of prescription medications by 53%. (13)
- Reduction in drug prescriptions (61% less) and use of conventional medical care (55% less) are substantial among CAM users. (14)

Eco-friendly, holistic health loving mom's checklist30 Jan
The lovely blog tinydallas has a regularly occurring "moms we love" segment.
"Not too long ago, Dr. Kate Naumes weighed in with a post on how to keep the kiddos healthy during flu season using natural remedies. Dr. Naumes is a naturopathic doctor that works with women and children, showing them how to use various holistic methods to maintain and improve their health. I've always been intrigued by (and a big believer in) the practice of holistic medicine and was eager to learn more about this former Oregonian, now an Oak Cliff resident. So without further adieu, here's a peek into her world…."
Also, if you haven't checked out this blog and you live in DFW it is a delight to read. I count myself lucky to be included in its posts. Thank you tinydallas.
Wellness Dollars and Cents2 Jun
Most Americans have a disease-focused outlook on health, not thinking much about their health until something goes wrong. The World Health Organization defines health as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" but we tend to think of wellness as a luxury to be sought after when all the bills are paid, the kids are in bed, the house is clean, etc. Actually, it turns out good health is a great investment. One Harvard Medical School study found that the return on one of their preventive measures was $36 for every dollar spent.
When we're not sleeping well, when we're overweight, when we're not eating right, we grossly underestimate the cost of those lifestyle choices on our longterm health and our pocketbook. Many insurance companies and company health plans exacerbate the situation by often failing to cover preventative measures like botanical remedies, nutritional counseling, massage, acupuncture and exercise programs that would save people and governments money in the long run.

Meat4 May
"Consumers may be weary of hearing about what's wrong with their meat — from the calories to the E. coli to its heart unfriendliness. Unfortunately, there's another bit of bad news: Nearly a quarter of the meat and poultry sold in U.S. supermarkets is infected with nasty drug-resistant bacteria, too…" Read more at NPR
There is good news though. Right here in Texas we can enjoy pastured chicken and grass-fed beef and lamb. These natural meats are raised without added hormones, antibiotics or feed stimulants.

As in 2004, Ukraine is wavering. As in 2004, it is hesitating between its desire for the European Union and being bound to the Russian big brother.
On 1 December, about 100,000 people were in Kyiv to demand the resignation of Viktor Yanukovych after he decided to reject the EU partnership and free-trade agreement, because of pressures from Moscow. After his announcement, many Ukrainian people went to protest and denounce Yanukovych's U-turn and his will to be closer to Russia once again.
With such behaviour, the Ukrainian leader probably missed a historical opportunity to tie his country to the European Union, something wanted by lots of his compatriots. On this point, I remember my Ukrainian friends at the College of Europe who expressed their euro-romantics and the wish to see their country join the EU one day. The partnership and free-trade agreement, while not necessarily paving the way for such an outcome, would have been a very important step in the Kyiv-Brussels relationship and would have reaffirmed the will of both two parts to get closer to each other.
Viktor Yanukovych, by refusing to sign this agreement, took the risk to open a very important political crisis within his country, although he tried to convince that he has the intention to sign the free-trade agreement in a near future. In fact, the current Ukrainian leader's ambivalent position clearly shows the hesitation and the lack of confidence of this country regarding its geopolitical role and weight. For nearly ten years, the country has been hesitating between a pro-western strategy and a complete faith to Russia even if it means adopting an ambivalent, not to say ambiguous strategy in order to make nobody angry.
This strategy was promoted by Yanukovych, who was considered as a pro-Russian, close to Vladimir Putin and supporter of a conservative and nationalist political line. Nonetheless, from his election in March 2010, he wanted to show good intentions vis-à-vis the EU, considering a political integration should not be excluded. In spite of this, the Yanukovych U-turn may, for a long time, discredit the will of Ukraine to be definitely freed of Russia, preferring the current status quo. This position became unbearable for the Ukrainian leader who is now politically weakened and must face a heterogeneous but globally pro-European opposition who will enjoy the occasion to challenge a corrupted and autocratic system. What is more, the Party of the regions, the pro-Russian and nationalist movement of Yanukovych, is also divided regarding the strategy vis-à-vis Russia and the EU: some of its members in the Ukrainian Parliament consider the EU free-agreement as crucial for the country.
So, it seems that Viktor Yanukovych, who officially condemned the use of force to end the pro-Europe demonstration last week-end in Kyiv, has few ways to get out of this tricky situation. Faced with a determined opposition and a divided party, the Ukrainian leader made a political fault. Especially, he underestimated the strong will of Europe of his compatriots who considered the partnership and free-trade agreement as the kick-off of a process having to lead Ukraine to the EU membership. We are (very) far from this, and all is going to depend on the capacity of this country to guarantee democracy and the most elementary principles of law, especially regarding the situation of some opponents like Yulia Tymoshenko, the ex- leader of the 2004 Orange revolution and a former PM of Viktor Yushenko, currently in detention. To be clear, Ukraine is at a crossroads and it will have to face with its contradictions to move forward with or without Russia, with or without the European Union.

Hyde Jekyll, Me (airdate: Feb 17, 2018)
Gu Seo-jin (Hyun Bin), is a third-generation chaebol who runs the theme park Wonder Land. He seemingly has everything — looks, brains, and fortune. He is also in line to become the next CEO of Wonder Group, the conglomerate his family owns, though his cousin Ryu Seung-yeon (Han Sang-jin), who oversees Wonder Hotel is his rival for the position. But Seo-jin has dissociative identity disorder. Whenever his heart rate exceeds 150, another personality emerges, and unlike Seo-jin's usual cold, cynical and ruthless self, Robin is kind, gentle and has a savior complex.
This split personality began 15 years ago, and Seo-jin's doctor Kang Hee-ae believes that Robin is a manifestation of his guilt regarding a traumatic incident then. Because of this, Seo-jin avoids anything that might cause him to have a strong physical or emotional reaction which could trigger Robin's reappearance, even if that means shutting himself away from the world and eschewing any meaningful relationships. <Source: Wikipedia>
