We are currently trying to assess amongst Adelaide's German language students and teachers the need for local official German language examinations, as offered by the 'Goethe-Zertifikate' A1, A2, B1 and B2 (and possibly even C1 and C2) within the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Given that Adelaide is one of only a very few cities in Australia where these examinations are not currently offered, we - in collaboration with the Goethe Institut Melbourne - are trying to investigate whether there is enough interest to warrant introducing this facility to South Australia from as early as 2018.
In order to help us work out the local need, we would very much appreciate if you could kindly indicate (by a simple reply email) whether or not you would be interested in taking any of these examinations over the course of the next three years - and if so, at which level.
Please note that all 'Goethe-Zertifikate' incur an examination fee depending on the level, currently ranging from about $100 (A1) to about $200 (B2).
We really appreciate your help and look forward to hearing from you.

My Marxist feminist dialectic brings all the boys to the yard 1
Last week we discussed how every commodity, or "product," is the outcome of a process which is completed before it enters the marketplace. It is, in other words, a "finished product," with no dynamic social role to play except as an object of consumption, or an object of exchange. For Marx, its social characteristics are that of "congealed labor": whatever creative process went into making the commodity is now embedded within the object, and beyond our reach as consumers, except at the abstract level of value.
One of the big points Marx wants to make about capitalism is that it is a totalizing system. In other words, insofar as capital is accumulated in certain ways, a system based on capital accumulation will want to pursue these means endlessly, into every corner of human experience. Whatever is not already "commodified" -- reduced to an object of consumption or exchange -- will come under assault by the unfolding logic of that process by which capital is produced.
Because one of the characteristics of capitalism is a "dictatorship within production," to use my unwieldy description, the people who make things generally don't have much control, either over "the making" or over the finished product they have made. As you may have observed in your everyday experience, this can make "work" one of the more unpleasant experiences in life. Whatever else work may be -- challenging, rewarding, etc. -- it is mostly something you don't have a lot of control over one way or the other.
This changes when we enter the marketplace, and take on the role of consumers. Divorced from the act of creation, we are now invited into acts of consumption and exchange. As Guy Debord points out in The Society of the Spectacle, this is hugely significant at the level of psychology: we have spent our working day disempowered and tread upon; suddenly, we are given the power to make our own choices and to value our own judgment within the world of commodities.
The implications of this are especially thought-provoking when we consider just how far consumer culture has been assimilated into "culture." Last week I brought up consumer culture in its "political" form: we look at politics not as a social process of interacting with and influencing other people, but as a marketplace of competing commodities which we consume as an expression of our savvy judgment or as a reflection of our "values." Consider also nationalism and patriotism, which are often expressed as "finished products" which you either accept or reject, rather than as social processes which people contribute to; "if you are going to criticize this country, go live somewhere else," etc.
The issue I wanted to focus on today, however, relates to the conflict between men and women as it is informed by the sexual commodification of women.

I talk to many people who want to know more about CBD and to people who already take CBD with great effects.
This is a personal story that was sent to me about how CBD is working for them.
My CBD journey
In this personal journal of mine I'm going to talk about how CBD changed MY life and how it made ME feel. I would like to remain anonymous as I feel other people's views on this are different and some people do feel that CBD IS A DRUG and it may cause some controversy around my life.
Before I begin I would like to make it clear that this is my own personal opinion and a choice I have decided to make on my own. I'm not a doctor and can't 100% say that CBD oil will work the same for you but I can say for me it worked.
I'm 27 and for the past two years I've suffered really bad from depression and anxiety. My first reaction was to contact the doctors to get some help. Upon seeing the doctor and doing an anxiety and depression test he had diagnosed me extremely depressed with moderate anxiety he had prescribed me 50mg of sertraline once a day and told me to take 100mg of propanol three times a day. Obviously I took what the doctor prescribed as the only thing that would make me feel better. I was taking the prescription medication from the doctor religiously for six months. I still seemed to feel depressed and sometimes I would find myself more anxious than I have been before. Sometimes it would feel like I was relying on them.
After I had been taking them for six months my sister come to visit me and started asking me about my meds from the doctors. When I told her I was taking sertraline she told me that I should go back to the doctors and ask to be put on different meds as she had seen a documentary the night before about sertraline and how it effects the brain and that they was bad having negative effects on lots of people and in one case causing a lady to kill her husband. Now let's not get into the effects sertraline have on the brain because again I'm no doctor. When I was thinking about changing my meds I felt rather uncomfortable about it and it did cause me a little anxiety so I just carried on as normal with the meds.
A few months had passed so we are looking at 8 months into my journey with depression and anxiety I was still taking my meds. My sister again came to my house but this this time was taking to me about CBD OIL, she was telling me that it helps with depression and anxiety and that she had been taking it a few weeks and felt loads better within herself. I then started to think about WEED I was absolutely petrified about taking it as I thought I would get STONED. My sister then explained that I WOULDN'T FEEL SPACED OUT and it would make me feel better just like it did for her. Upon talking about this she did say it worked me so it's worth a try. Also she did tell me to carry on taking my meds from the doctors as I have been and just try it alongside them.
I then decided to buy a bottle of CBD OIL I was so nervous about trying it that I would feel STONED as I personally at that time though it was classed as WEED. I took it for about a month on the odd day with my meds and I started to feel different. I was beginning to feel less depressed and less anxious. All I was thinking was how good my meds were doing for me so again I carried on with them and the CBD OIL but like I said not every day.
One morning about one month ago I woke up and realised as I went to get my meds out the cupboard I forgot to put my proscription in at the chemist and I was out of sertraline and propanol as you can imagine my anxiety was at an all time high I was shaking pacing around the room thinking "what the fuck am I supposed to do now." About an hour or so later I realised I had the bottle of CBD OIL in my bag and thought about what my sister had said to me a few weeks before I ran over to my bag got it out and took some baring in mind this time I had no meds from the doctors. All that day I felt on edge and still anxious but I didn't have a panic attach. I just thought that the meds just still be in my system so that's why I was fine.
The day after I could go pick up my prescription I woke up again took my CBD OIL and collected my prescription but as I felt okay again that day I didn't take any meds. After a week of taking CBD religiously for one week I realised I haven't taken and meds just CBD. I couldn't believe it because I was an extremely anxious person and only believed that prescription drugs would make me feel better.
I am now one month on my new journey without prescription drugs only taking CBD OIL and believe me when I say I feel great. I don't feel anxious or depressed anymore and I feel less lethargic and more energised.
I can't thank CBD OIL enough because I now don't even think about my meds and I know I'm not getting addicted to them as I take CBD Instead. It has taken time for me to listen to people's stories and learn about CBD for me to realise that actually I don't need "prescription drugs." I am now beginning to properly start my journey with CBD OIL and I can tell you that it has been the best decision I have made.
Again I would like to state this this my own personal journey and I would not advise you to stop taking prescription meds without seeking advice from a health professional.
What I will say is please take your time to educate yourself on this wonderful thing as its worked wonders on me. Anybody suffering with anxiety or depression it's worth a try and one day you could be like me telling your story to other sufferers.
Thank you for taking the time to read my journey so far I really appreciate it.

Dylann Roof Is a Racist and a Terrorist. That's All You Need to Know About Him
Don't humanize the killer of nine Black victims by trying to understand his motivation. He told you with his actions. Now, let's get in a real conversation and confront our own racism.
Dylann Storm Roof is a domestic terrorist. He is a 21-year-old White supremacist. He has made it as clear as possible that he hates Black people. He went into Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of our nation's oldest Black churches, in Charleston, South Carolina, armed with a loaded gun and said to the congregants: "I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country and you have to go." And then proceeded to kill nine people. And finally he's been captured at a traffic stop in Shelby, North Carolina.
Really, that is all we need to know. We don't need to learn anything more about what motivated him. Not about his mental health. Not about his relationship with his parents or how he did in school or whether he had friends. He told us and showed us everything: He hates Black people. He believes Black people do not deserve to live. And he feels entitled enough to take away their lives.
I've been reading my Facebook feed all day. What gives me hope is that all of my friends, of all races and ethnicities, have been discussing this tragedy nonstop—we are all devastated and outraged and grieving. But I can divide along racial lines the takeaways from the tragedy: Most of my White friends are talking about gun control. And mental illness. My friends of color are talking about racism.
Here's the thing: We should all be talking about racism. In 1963, the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, was bombed, and four girls were killed. Last night, it was a gun and nine adults. And there have been too many murders and acts of terrorism that preceded Birmingham, and too many to count that followed up to Charleston. And it sure isn't going to stop any time soon. Black people have been killed by White people by lynchings. By tasers. By bats. By pipes. By glass bottles. By bare hands. It doesn't take guns to kill Black people. It takes racism. And we are a nation founded on racism, and we have done nothing to combat it. Racism is not a mental illness. It is something that is instilled in each and every one of us, not just cross-burners or tasteless-joke tellers or people who wield the N-word and similar epithets, but those of us who assume the Black person at the store is a clerk and not a fellow customer, or that the group of Black kids walking down the street is going to mess with us, or that the Black child who got into Yale over our kid was filling a quota. Or our silence and apathy when a cop kills an unarmed Black person. Rationalizing a White perp's motivation, that he was mentally ill or had a troubled childhood, that he was a loner or on drugs. That a victim was a thug or "no angel." Our insistence that we're not a racist, that we have Black friends, well, okay, one Black friend. That "all lives matter." Or just our simple refusal to engage in a conversation about race or racism because it's too hard. Any of it. All of it.
To this day, there is a Confederate flag flying over the state of South Carolina. The state is run by a tea-partier. Yes, our nation is obsessed with guns, and it is absolutely frightening. And we have politicians who enable that obsession. The open-carry movement is, as far as I'm concerned, and many will agree, a terrorist movement comprising terrified White supremacists who feel threatened by a Black president and a White population in decline. But let's be clear here: What happened last night at the Emanuel AME Church that stole the lives of five women and three men—Reverend Clementa Pinckney, Ethel Lance, Sharonda Coleman-Singleton, Cynthia Hurd, Tywanza Sanders, Myra Thompson, Susie Jackson, Daniel Simmons, and Reverend Depayne Middleton-Doctor—was an act of terrorism by a white supremacist, and very deliberate. The gun was just a means to make it happen. Know the names of these nine people. Remember them. Forget Dylann's. Black lives matter. They might not matter to cops, or, as we keep seeing, to politicians, even our president who has proven to be ineffectual in these dire times. But, my message to other White people, of which I am one and learning to engage in these difficult conversations more with each passing tragic day, is please make the Black lives matter to you. As the saying goes, stay woke.

Burlington pitching held Fort Wayne to no runs on two hits Thursday night and took game two of the three-game set, 5-0, at Community Field.
The Bees have now run off five straight wins, their longest streak of the year.
Dylan King, making his first start of the season, threw three one-hit innings. He struck out three and walked none. Kyle Tyler followed with six one-hit innings of his own. He walked three and struck out four to earn his fifth win against no defeats.
Burlington second baseman Alvaro Rubalcaba was 3-for-3, with two RBI. Francisco Del Valle, on a 2-for-4 night, and Kevin Maitan both hit home runs. Del Valle's was a two run shot.
The Bees posted all their runs in the first three innings. Maitan hit his no-doubter to right on the first pitch he saw in the first. Bees up 1-0.
With two out in the second Justin Jones was hit by a pitch, the first of four Bees hitters who would get plunked in the game. He went to third on Tim Millard's punch single to right and scored on Rubalcaba's line single to right-center. Bees up 2-0.
After Nonie Williams grounded out to start the home third, Spencer Griffin was hit by a pitch. He stole his ninth base of the year as Harrison Wenson struck out. Del Valle then mashed his fifth home run of the season. The only question off the bat was whether it would stay fair, and it did. That shot scored Griffin ahead of him.
Jones worked a walk and Millard was hit by a pitch. Rubalcaba capped the scoring with another RBI single to right-center.
Rubalcaba added to his big offensive night with an outstanding play behind and another behind first.
Williams stole his team leading 17th base of the year in the fourth. He ranks ninth in the league in that category.
Of note was Harrison Wenson being caught stealing in the second inning. It is the first time he has been caught in his career dating back to his college days at Michigan. He was 9 for 9 previously.

Arnhem Station Building
Dutch Railway Building Development, The Netherlands – design by UNStudio / Arup

Arnhem Central Platforms
Arnhem Station, The Netherlands
Design: UNStudio with Arup
Photos © Ronald Tilleman
Arnhem Station will be officially opened this week, on 19 November. The multidisciplinary approach by the architecture firm UNStudio and Arup linked architectural design to human behaviour in a unique way.
With the opening of the new station building the transformation of the area is now complete. Since 1996 UNStudio has collaborated with Arup to achieve an integrated design with distinctive architectural and technical concepts for the masterplan, public transport terminal and underground parking.
Key to the terminal design was a fast and smooth transition between different modes of transport and realising these modes on a very small plot. Arup contributed significantly to the integration of architecture, structure and lighting. As a result, passengers are guided intuitively and efficiently to the right place.
The terminal has two below-grade levels for bicycle storage and vehicular parking and multiple undefined above-grade levels that contain a spacious entrance lobby, retail shops, offices, service areas and corridors that link the train platforms, local and regional bus terminals, taxi stands, bike storage, and parking.
"The integration of masterplanning, architecture and engineering was major to the design, which could only be realised in an integral team of specialists in design and execution. Every phase of improvements were made and after a span of 19 years, the project is finished. The team is proud and excited!"
– Joop Paul, project director Arup
The 'twist' and the 'trumpet' are carefully designed structural-architectural solutions, using the most advanced computer tools. Together with UNStudio, Arup's designers created 3D models of the complex terminal shape to ensure correct structural and lighting calculations.

Kobe Harbor
※ This article discusses Sunday, 15th of January 2017.
Yes, we had snow yesterday. That does not occur that often. Well, there is a kids-playing-in-Kobe-snow video of 2013. However, at sea level and with increasing climate temperatures it is just becoming more and more unlikely. Some international students have been on Onsen trips during the winter and visited Onsen at higher sealevel. There, they saw monkeys joining them in Onsen. There are plenty of videos about them online (e.g. "Snow monkeys soak in hot springs of Japan" by Guardian.
I had to take care in the city. Staircases were slippery.
I started off in the morning after warming myself up in bed. Yesterday in the afternoon we briefly noticed snowflakes for about 10 minutes. In the evening (after sunset), it snowed for quite some while. The reported snow height was about 2-3cm. This sunday, I went to Sannomyia by Portliner and went south. I guess I could have left the train one station before, but I preferred the long walk. The general outline of this event day was a casual walk along the coast with the Kobe Port Tower as last destination.
First, I saw Higashiyuenchi Park ( 東遊園地 ), which I already visited once. I saw some pots with frozen water, but water fountains with moving water were kept ice-free. I continued south passing the Kobe Customs Museum. At the Harbor, I observed working people. Trucks were bringing goods to the ship. I still have to point out that few people were there and it seemed like a quiet day. I followed the paths underneath the highway to reach the next port.
A huge metal fish is on display when entering the next port from north. We know this fish. My Kanji teacher and Martina's Japanese teacher on Friday is part of a dance group. They meet regularly to dance to traditional music and invite (international) students to join. This fish was pictured on the map illustrating the meeting point for the dance session. Next to the fish, a house is designated for a dance studio. I assume our teacher is affiliated with this dance studio.
Close to the fish, a memorial site can be found. Remember that the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995 hit Awaji Island and therefore the Harbor of Kobe was closest to the epicenter. The harbor got majorily destroyed and the toppled Harbor highway is the image associated with this event in my mind. The "Port of Kobe Earthquake Memorial Park" shows pictures of the event and the reconstruction afterwards (e.g. temporary harbor sites during reconstruction). It also referenced Luminarie which I attended in December. Also recognize that picture #31 shows the same site like Wikipedia, but towards south, not north.
I continued westwards to reach Kobe Port Tower. I need to point out that it was really cold and taking the hands out of my pockets to take photos hurt. At this port many families were outside and going along the harbor. It was funny to recognize that I associate huge scarfs (size of blankets for your upper half of the body) worn by Japanese women with Japanese fashion. But it really is a just a mean to protect yourself from the cold in- and outside houses. The Kobe Port Tower has 3 floors at the ground. They are freely accessible and provide an air conditioned view outside. For 700 Yen, you can also go the top. The view is certainly more beautiful up there, but first I didn't bring my glasses with me and second at night the view might be more interesting. In the east of the tower, the Kobe Maritime Museum can be found. For 1000 Yen, you can enter it. I wasn't interested enough into this either, but I took lots of pictures of its white grid-like roof construction. In the west at the next port, I saw the Ferris Wheel. This Ferris Wheel is illuminated at night and can be seen from Portliner when we go back from university.
South of the Port Tower is the Meriken Park Oriental Hotel. I expected to go the Meriken Park first, but it is currently locked up. They seem to be renovating and the grasses condition also does not seem great. The Hotel is very distinctive. The roof resembles (in my imagination) a wave. At the ground floors, cars can be parked whereas the top floors provide hotel rooms. In front of the Hotel a "Marine Hall" can be found. Based on its shape I thought it is a small church, but the name indicates otherwise.
I finished my walk by taking a picture of the huge poles of the Harbor highway and the entrance of Chinatown. Ah right, I haven't been to Chinatown yet. Anyways, it took me ~25 minutes to go from the Hotel to Sannomiya and I went back home. Martina waited with a warm lunch for me. Great!
Conclusion: A pleasant walk in fresh air!

Program skiving and hobbing operations with ease
With the new cycles of the TNC 640 for high-quality external and internal gear teeth, you can easily and economically manufacture spur and helical gearing systems entirely within a single setup. The software makes these two machining operations possible in both milling and turning mode.
The new gear-milling cycles:
- Gear skiving
- Gear hobbing
- Defining the gear
Your advantages:
- Ease of programming
- Efficient machining in milling and turning mode
- Lift-off protection feature
Program skiving operations with ease
Don't agonize over the complex sequence of movements required for skiving. The "gear skiving" cycle will handle it for you.
All you need to do is specify the data for the gear geometry and the tools to be used. The TNC 640 will take care of the remaining calculations, particularly for dynamic motion control in double-spindle operation.
As a result, the production of internal gears turns into an easy-to-master standard application.
Your advantages from skiving:
- Machining of complete parts within a single setup
- No special machines required
- No machine changeover, resulting in time savings and increased quality
Hobbing made easy
The TNC 640 also supports your programming work with its "gear hobbing" cycle. In this case as well, gear geometry and tool data are the only specifications you will need to define.
Hobbing is particularly well suited for external gears. Its advantages include high productivity and a wide variety of tooth forms creatable with easy-to-manufacture tools.
Your advantages from hobbing:
- Production of a wide variety of tooth forms, including highly complex ones
- Large selection of standard tools can be used, as well as easy-to-manufacture special tools
- High-productivity manufacturing process
A single definition; numerous benefits
Define your gear's geometry only once using the cycle "defining the gear." All of the machining steps required for subsequent machining, including roughing and finishing, make use of this definition. It's that simple!
Greater protection and reliability
In the event of unforeseen program interruptions, such as power outages, the new gear-milling cycles support optimized lift-off. The cycles automatically determine both the direction and the path of the tool's retraction from the workpiece.
Your advantages from optimized lift-off:
- Avoidance of damage to the workpiece, tool, and spindle
- Seamless continuation of the interrupted machining process after restart
- Automated process requiring no manual intervention

No one ever looked to Carlos Reygadas for a clear picture and straight story, but this maverick Mexican director may have surpassed himself on Post Tenebras Lux, a congealed Jungian stew that went down to a chorus of boos at the Cannes film festival. Upping the ante still further, Reygadas has elected to shoot large portions of his film through a bevelled camera lens, which refracts his figures, doubles the image and leaves the screen's borders blurred. I have no doubt he is deliberately setting out to vex us.
What is he saying? What does he mean? The festival has been an ardent champion of this fiercely talented 40-year-old, who was nominated for the Palme d'Or for 2005's Battle in Heaven and scooped the jury prize for the mesmerising Silent Light back in 2007. And yet Post Tenebras Lux must surely count as a major misfire, at once undercooked and overheated as it stirs its fevered brew of dreams and memory, symbols and sex.
Juan (Adolfo Jiménez Castro) and Natalia (Nathalia Acevedo) are an artistic middle-class couple with two adorable toddlers and a big house in the mountains that is tended by a team of unruly rustic handymen who operate out of a corrugated-iron hut in the valley below. At one stage, Juan and Natalia jet off for an up-scale sex holiday in Europe, where the rooms in the bath-house are named after Hegel and Duchamp. At another Juan hits his dog so hard that the animal dies. He feels awful about this, though his wife is sanguine. "You're doing it less and less," she assures him.
Along the way Reygadas throws in some arresting images and haunting scenes, such as the daughter's dream of the waterlogged field, or the CGI Satan, red as a tandoori chicken, who comes to spook the son. There is no doubt the director is leading us somewhere, all the way to the deathbed, where the light finally breaks through. If only the route wasn't quite so rocky and circuitous. If only he'd take those damn beer glasses off the camera lens.
At its best, in glimmers, Post Tenebras Lux can be tender, touching and even oddly thrilling in its bold imagery and determination to take the path less travelled. But it's an opaque, unforthcoming, exasperating work all the same. Reygadas's occasional child's-eye perspectives, together with the unexplained cut-aways to rugby games at an English public school (the director himself was schooled in England) suggest the story may be at least partway-autobiographical, a working-through of personal issues. The effect, however, is like sitting down in front of a stash of bespoke home-movies (beach trip, family dinner, reader's-wife erotica) shown out of sequence and with no context provided. Home movies, of course, are often out of focus too.

Top 10 Spartan Ice Cream Flavors to Try This Summer
To celebrate the start of summer, Milton Hershey School's Spartan Ice Cream Center is opening on Friday, June 21 at noon. As part of the school's Agricultural and Environmental Education (AEE) program, student interns learn how to make homemade ice cream and operate the campus ice cream shop multiple days a week.
Here's the scoop!
Ice Cream Center Hours
- Location: The shop is located near the ice rink at 655 Brook Drive, Hershey, Pa. Signs will be located on campus to direct you.
- Hours: It will be open Tuesday-Friday each week from noon to 2:30 p.m. The last day the shop will be open is Thursday, Aug. 15.
- Price: Hand-dipped, ready-to-eat ice cream cones are available for $2.50, and take-home half-gallons are priced at $6.
Picking Your Flavor
Spartan ice cream is known for being thick, creamy, and extremely fresh. Made with milk, cream, sugar, and various mix-ins like candy and fruit, MHS students create approximately 32 premium flavors that are available on rotation throughout the summer.
Students incorporate fresh fruit, including peaches and blueberries, that are grown on campus through the school's AEE program. They make the ice cream continuously throughout the summer, which means it's rarely more than one or two days old and always at peak freshness.
Students live by the philosophy that the best flavor is whatever you want it to be. But if you're not sure where to start, try one of 10 MHS classics that rotate throughout the summer:
- Peanut Butter Cup: With sweet vanilla ice cream and Reese's® peanut butter cups, this is a fan favorite.
- Honey Vanilla: Looking for vanilla ice cream with a twist? Try Honey Vanilla made with fresh honey!
- Malted Memories: This MHS recipe remains a secret, but it tastes like an old-fashioned malted milkshake.
- Blueberry Ripple: With local blueberries rippled throughout vanilla ice cream, this was a top choice last summer!
- Teaberry: Who can resist the timeless flavor of teaberry? Minty and fruity at the same time, this unique ice cream is great for all ages.
- Peach: Our peach ice cream is refreshing and fruity on a hot day. And students are known to mix in mango throughout the summer!
- Kit Kat®: A favorite from last summer, our Kit Kat® ice cream includes chunks of the beloved candy and creamy ice cream.
- Cookies and Cream: Can't decide between chocolate and vanilla? Cookies and cream is the best of both worlds!
- Strawberry Cheesecake: Made with fresh strawberries and an extra creamy consistency, this popular flavor tastes like your favorite summertime dessert.
- HEATH Bar Crunch: For toffee and chocolate lovers, the HEATH Bar Crunch doesn't disappoint!
You'll also find dozens of other flavors added throughout the summer, including classics like chocolate and vanilla. Find your favorite this summer!
Milton Hershey School students are involved in every step of the ice cream-making process, including designing and printing labels, advertising, customer service, and inventory control and management. The goal is to help students develop entrepreneurial and problem-solving skills through an authentic, student-run business model.

The colour of the tooth is determine by the dentine colour, it various from individual to individual and also different ethnic group. Chinese and Malays will tends to have slight yellowish tooth. The colour of the dentine getting more saturated with ageing.
The brightness (value) of the tooth is regulated by the thickness and translucency property of the enamel. The higher the brightness (value) of the enamel, the whiter the tooth. We have thicker enamel during young, and the enamel layer become thinner due to aging and wearing caused by mastication process.
The tooth colour also may affected by extrinsic staining due to coffee, tea and red wine. Tetracyclin (one type of antibiotic) may caused internal staining of the tooth in young child. There are two main methods of gel bleaching, one performed with high-concentration gel (37%-44%) and powered up the whitening process with a special blue light, this procedure known as "In-office bleaching".
Another one with low-concentrated gel (10%-22%) and accomplished at home. Whitening is performed by applying oxidizing agent to the teeth with thin plastic trays for a short period of time. The application trays ideally should be well-fitted to retain the gel, ensuring even and full tooth exposure to the gel. This whitening process also known as "Home Bleaching"
The whitening gel contained oxidizing agents, Carbamide peroxide, which penetrates the porosities in the rod-like crystal structure of enamel and bleaches stain deposits in the dentine.
Below are step by step photos showing "In-Office Bleaching"
1. Isolation of teeth by retracting the cheek and the lip aways from the teeth. Record the original colour of teeth.
2. Protect the gum from the oxidizing gel with soft dam.
3. After applying the Carbamide Peroxide gel, the bleaching process is activated by using special blue light. Normal it need 4-5 cycle to bleach the teeth, 10 minute per cycle.
4. Compare the colour after bleaching with the original recorded colour. Usually is about 4-8 shade whiter with the shade guide (Tooth Colour Chart).
Some photos comparing before & after bleaching.

Hollander's Next Regional Training Summit Comes To Detroit Area
Hollander, LLC will host its third Regional Training Summit at the Marriott Ypsilanti at Eagle Crest in Ypsilanti, Mich. on August 29. The company is planning 10 educational sessions across three informative learning tracks - Inventory, System Management and Advanced Powerlink® Reporting, to help auto recyclers increase yard efficiency and profitability.
Hollander recently hosted Northeast regional customers in Philadelphia at the Ace Conference Center June 27, and added a session track on top of the original two presented at the first Summit in Atlanta to give more advanced users a broader diversity of sessions to attend.
"Two successful summits have confirmed that training is exactly what our customers were looking for," said Anders Moeller, managing director of Hollander. "Our attendees are eager to learn about our core products, so based on customer response we may add even more sessions concerning products such as eLink and others."
Hollander's Regional Training Summit series is a fit for users of every skill level. Sessions help to sharpen expertise with Hollander products, particularly learning best practices for setting up and managing business operations, stores and employees in the Powerlink yard management system. Hollander also provides a Technology Test Drive Center (TTDC) for product and yard specific questions. The TTDC is staffed by Hollander service experts, the Hollander sales team and a representative from eBay Motors to answer any questions related to the world's largest parts-based marketplace.
The Detroit event will be the third event in six months, as the Training Summit series expands farther across the United States. The full day of sessions begins at 9 a.m., with classes being capped at 4 p.m., and the Summit ending after a post-session reception social hour with food and drinks provided.
"We understand taking classes all day means a lot of information to process, so we provide a more casual environment for customers to talk with our experts and other attendees afterward, to keep them engaged and learning as much as possible," Moeller said. "We want to make sure they return home with new ideas to leverage their investment in Hollander products even more."

We also stock the genuine Stihl extra thick adaptors: 1" (25.4mm) to 20mm
Dressing stones
Our dressing stones open up a diamond blade which have been glazed up as a consequence of cutting hard materials. Depending on the condition (wear) of your diamond blade, it will be necessary to use the dressing stone only once or several times, simply by cutting a few centimeters of it. Regular use of dressing stones will keep you blade performing at its best.
80 grit, 200mm x 50mm x 25mm Premium Series (Red colour)
(these are a superior, more uniform composition stone and are very effective at sharpening compared to the Trade series).
$35 each including GST
80 grit, 200mm x 50mm x 25mm Trade series (White colour)
(these are sandier composition than the Premium series, but well priced).
$18 each including GST
To use, ensure you wear eye protection. Cut across the stone in one direction only (not forward and back) to a depth of about half the thickness of the stone (Then the stone can be turned over and the other side used). A few cuts should be sufficient to dress your blade.
To see how to use a dressing stone, see this video (it shows a deglazing a tile saw blade, but the principle is the same).
Note - If you are cutting dry, always be aware of the danger of breathing in the dust. Use a half face respirator or a PAPR (Powered air purifying respirator). View our accessories to reduce dust.

"We started out in the travel technology space helping our clients make sense of the large amount of both structured and unstructured data involved in the distribution of hotels," explains Zumata CEO Josh Ziegler. "While improving our processes, we began leveraging artificial intelligence (AI)."
The problem scope was enormous, Mr. Ziegler observes, when one considers all hotels, amenities, points of interest, concepts and combinations that a user could ask for. Zumata gained access to millions of images that didn't have tags or labels to describe or identify their content. As a result, retailers sometimes ended up showing images of a toilet or a conference center as primary pictures, when they may have a fantastic location and facilities. "When we saw this missed opportunity we turned to AI specifically image recognition, to tag our images," Josh says.
Tagging allowed for highly effective use of images, which in turn boosted hotel reservations. Zumata also used AI to determine the quality of images and improve their descriptions, showcase details of hotel facilities, and even make the supply chain more efficient. It is easy for consumers to find out if a hotel has a gym, but whether or not it is appropriately equipped is another matter, reasons Mr. Ziegler. "With image tagging, we can now show pictures of the gym in the search result so you can quickly see if the hotel has a treadmill or free weights. The end result is more sales for our retail partners and a much better user experience for their customers," he adds.
As Zumata told the story of what they have been doing to help customers find their perfect hotel, banks and insurance companies began approaching them for custom technology application. "As we dug deeper, we discovered our real core competency was the ability to train cognitive systems, and as a result we now working with clients in these and other verticals." Today, Zumata provides customer experience solutions to companies that wish to help customers find the products or services that meet their needs, as well as companies looking to automate their customer service interactions. "Our AI offerings cut across industries; we are engaging with insurance companies, banks, telcos, retailers, and many others," says Mr. Ziegler.
Zumata's commitment to sustained innovation and pushing technical limits has won for them industry awards and recognition. It has been named one of ten most disruptive companies in travel, and has won Digital Innovation Asia Award and the IBM Partner of the Year award. It is also among the first companies to release a natural language API on the IBM Bluemix Catalog.
Training Cognitive Systems
Training cognitive systems calls for a balance between identifying the appropriate use case and supervising the outcomes. Zumata starts by identifying the client or business 'pain point', and working to find ways to automate the process to either provide a better user experience or reduce the client cost.
"From there, data is king," Mr. Ziegler explains. "The more data we have, the better solutions we can provide. This data is used to supervise the training. Driven by our engineers, supervision is a manual process involving code, algorithms, as well as machine and deep learning. It involves a lot of repetition and practice before the solution can be put into our client's hands." Even as the supervision continues, as end users throw new examples, scenarios, questions, etc. at the system. While AI systems can learn, Zumata insists on steering this learning to ensure desirable results.
"We've seen creativity from AI tools in specific use cases, but we feel that an advantage of an AI system is its ability to provide uniformity to customer experience in terms of both tone and information.
"For example, when we're training our systems to identify hotel imagery and tag or label the photos, we want to ensure there is a consistent outcome. A picture of a pool, should always be labeled as a pool, and not as water, pond, river, lake, etc."
In-House Solutions
When Zumata considers a customer service chatbot solution, it compares the outcomes to human agents. Chatbots have the ability to display consistently a positive attitude, and provide accurate information. Human agents, on the other hand, often have outside influences that impact their mood, their delivery to end users, and may provide the wrong information, Mr. Ziegler highlights. "The tasks where we use AI to perform are creative in the sense that they're not entirely structured, but rather than uniqueness we strive for consistent experiences."
Zumata develops new products and services in house. "I am fortunate to have a great team. All our products and services are proprietary, and have been developed in-house.
"We have deep expertise in delivering accommodation inventory to travel retailers. For these clients, we have identified several areas to address based on industry knowledge. We began tagging and labeling images, relating accommodation information to user requests through natural language processing, and providing automated customer service."
Deep Tech Focus
At its core, Zumata is a tech firm that focuses on deep tech, and uses technology to simplify what is complex for its customers. It began using AI to deliver premium content for hotel bookings and deliver personalized search results. Quality and relevant images alongside personalized results have been able to lift conversion rates by 50 per cent. This has led to the company's hotel API being adopted by some of the largest travel players in the world.
Mr. Ziegler believes that what they have achieved in travel has started gaining attention from other industries. "Banks, insurance companies, retailers, and others started to reach out to us to help them develop solutions to the challenges they faced, leveraging on our deep expertise in AI, and training cognitive systems. We began developing customized solutions for clients based on their specified needs."
Take for instance 'Jiffy Jane', an insurance chatbot Zumata created for NTUC INCOME. The objective was to allow users a better way to buy travel insurance, so Zumata designed a user-led conversational chatbot that incorporated important, related, and relevant insights such as currency conversion and weather information. Ultimately, through existing historical data combined with active supervised training of how customers wanted to engage with Jiffy Jane, Zumata was able to deliver a solution that answers customer queries, showcases and highlights comparison data, provides relevant tangential information, and facilitates the purchase of travel insurance – a one-stop shop that provides a seamless and quick experience for customers.
Myriad Applications
"Our AI led products can be applied to various business units within banks, telcos, retailers and insurance companies," Mr. Ziegler explains. "They can be either customer facing or internal facing. The keys are that they typically revolve around advisory or sales related functions."
One example that is applicable to any industry is deploying AI-led technologies for customer service. "Advising customers on their enquiries in real-time, through many channels, in any language, and at any time of day, is a dream for most companies. Our data shows that we can address well over 70 per cent of the enquiries for our existing clients. The financial savings from automation are incredible, and what's often not talked about is how the customer receives a better experience at the same time. Gone are holding times and long chat delays – AI is simply a better customer service option for most enquiries."
In addition to customer service capabilities – typically post-sale questions – Zumata can also deploy pre-sale advisory services. They run the gamut, from a simple text advisory for products like insurance, wealth advisory, shoes, event marketing, to just about anything else. In more complex forms, these AI-led solutions can incorporate things like image recognition for retailers. If a customer sees a shirt she likes on her favorite celebrity, she can simply take a photo and share it with our chatbot. The chatbot can query the retailer's inventory to find the best match, and even advise which belts, pants, shoes, or other accessories match the particular items. Online shopping then takes on a completely different experience.
The use cases are wide and varied, Mr. Ziegler points out. Companies are now starting to realize that they have internal customers as well. "We're seeing a lot of interest for internal applications from large enterprises. The scenarios range from simplifying the process of leave application and expense claims submissions to information depositories for sales or service staff to access information quickly. The cognitive capabilities we have developed can be used in many different ways and applied to any industry."
Zumata Biz Plan
Zumata began with backing from venture capital firms alongside other angel investors. Today, it derives incomes from two principal sources: For its travel products, Zumata charges a transaction fee for every accommodation booking.

Does anybody have experience/insight on whether it is possible to attach ISO metadata to rasters (DTED) within a mosaic dataset?
I am loading a bunch of DTED elevation raster data to a mosaic dataset. Our organization creates metadata that conforms with ISO 19139 xml implementation for each of the DTED tiles. I am trying to find a way to attach the metadata files to the rasters composing the mosaic dataset.

There are wonderful things to see, and buy, at the Marlow Mercantile Shop on main street Marlow, like the traditional and unique Christmas décor or even something with a little western flair.
Marlow got its start from the famed Chisholm Trail, which crossed through the area. It was named for the Dr. Williamson Marlow family, whose run-ins and escape from less-than-honest lawmen led to local fame and legends. Unlike many other small Oklahoma towns that have an oil industry presence, Marlow's oil exports are secondary to many agricultural products, like peanuts, beef, milo, and wheat. While some of Marlow's residents may work in Duncan, the community atmosphere keeps its citizens coming back home.

Doctors and specialists of all main medical fields work at Confido. They give advice on how to maintain health and prevent problems, diagnose and prevent diseases, give an expert opinion on existing treatment plans and perform follow-up medical examinations of chronic diseases.
In order to come to the consultation, you need to appoint a consultation time beforehand.
After booking the time, you need to pay for the requested services in advance. Prepayments help to prevent cancelling of appointments and enable doctors to provide aid for more people.
Important to know
- You can come to the reception without an accompanying letter, and a consultation time will be available for you much sooner than in the national health care system.
- Come ten minutes earlier.
- Carefully analyse your complaints and find out when did they start and how have they changed in time.
- If you happen to have previous case-related test results in your possession, take them with you.
- If you are using medication, think carefully which ones you have been taking and what effect did they have on your well-being and health condition, and what medical advice you have been following.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (KRQE) – Some rare historical documents that solve a big mystery about former Lincoln County Sheriff Pat Garrett are about to be unveiled to the public.
Pat Garrett is famous for pursuing and killing Billy the Kid, the most well-known outlaw of the time.
He was shot to death outside of Las Cruces in 1908, but mystery as long surrounded his death.
Now, a Dona Ana County employee has found the original coroner's report in a box of archived records.
The hand-written report is dated July 9, 1908 and says Garrett's killer is Wayne Brazel.
Right now, the document is locked away, but the county plans a public unveiling next month.

Nineteen Eighty-Four expands upon the subjects summarised in Orwell's essay "Notes on Nationalism"[39] about the lack of vocabulary needed to explain the unrecognised phenomena behind certain political forces. In Nineteen Eighty-Four, the Party's artificial, minimalist language 'Newspeak' addresses the matter.
- Positive nationalism: Oceanians' perpetual love for Big Brother; Neo-Toryism and Celtic nationalism are, as Orwell argues, defined by love.
- Negative nationalism: Oceanians' perpetual hatred for Emmanuel Goldstein; Stalinism[40] and Anglophobia are, as Orwell argues, defined by hatred.
- Transferred nationalism: Oceania's enemy changes, and an orator changes mid-sentence. The crowd instantly transfers its hatred to the new enemy. Transferred nationalism swiftly redirects emotions from one power unit to another (for example, Communism, Pacifism, Colour Feeling and Class Feeling). It happens during Hate Week, a Party rally against the original enemy. The crowd goes wild and destroys the posters that are now against their new friend, and many say that they must be the act of an agent of their new enemy and former friend. Many of the crowd must have put up the posters before the rally but think that the state of affairs had always been the case.
O'Brien concludes: "The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power."
In the book, Inner Party member O'Brien describes the Party's vision of the future:
There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always—do not forget this, Winston—always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever.— Part III, Chapter III, Nineteen Eighty-Four
A major theme of Nineteen Eighty-Four is censorship, especially in the Ministry of Truth, where photographs are modified and public archives rewritten to rid them of "unpersons" (persons who are erased from history by the Party).[41] On the telescreens, figures for all types of production are grossly exaggerated or simply invented to indicate an ever-growing economy, when the reality is the opposite. One small example of the endless censorship is Winston being charged with the task of eliminating a reference to an unperson in a newspaper article. He proceeds to write an article about Comrade Ogilvy, a made-up party member who displayed great heroism by leaping into the sea from a helicopter so that the dispatches he was carrying would not fall into enemy hands.[42]
The inhabitants of Oceania, particularly the Outer Party members, have no real privacy. Many of them live in apartments equipped with two-way telescreens so that they may be watched or listened to at any time. Similar telescreens are found at workstations and in public places, along with hidden microphones. Written correspondence is routinely opened and read by the government before it is delivered. The Thought Police employ undercover agents, who pose as normal citizens and report any person with subversive tendencies. Children are encouraged to report suspicious persons to the government, and some denounce their parents. Citizens are controlled, and the smallest sign of rebellion, even something so small as a facial expression, can result in immediate arrest and imprisonment. Thus, citizens, particularly party members, are compelled to obedience.

I have been wondering why *highly-funded* startups expend HUGE marketing budgets on radio, TV and billboards adverts. While there are no wrong or right ways to approach your marketing, most times this kind of advertisement yield little ROIs, especially for web-based businesses.
For example, the cost of branding one BRT buses in Lagos, Nigeria could be up to N500k, ~ $42,000 just for one.
For a bootstrapped startups, that rate is killing.
Another common mistake is what is the ecommerce myth.
The great ecommerce myth is that all you need to get people to pull out their credit card and buy is when you have the right products, a beautiful site design and stunning product photography.
That is true to a certain extent, IF you're launching your site to a group of people who are interested in what you're doing in the first place.
One way to get this type of highly expectant market interest is a PRELAUNCH STRATEGY.
A pre-launch strategy allows you to stimulate interest in what you're doing and prompt people to take actions even before you release the product or service.
Apple is a master at this. You too can create buzz at your next product launch
With a good pre-launch plan, you can gather data on potential customers; effectively test the way in which you're marketing your business concept (on a no-to-low budget), capture customer feedback to identify new markets or applications and build an audience of prospective customers for your public launch.
The maxim is that: If you can build excitement with your key customer influencers – you're well on your way to success.
That is why it is important to consider the following guidelines frameworks in your prelaunch strategy
A launch page is simply a landing page with a single focused objective which can be used to persuade a user to click through to another page or as a lead generation tool to capture customer data (usually, a name and email address). To be effective, it must have:
- A simple messaging,
- A clear call to action,
- Build anticipation for your public launch and ultimately
- Allow you to collect emails or invite beta users.
On your prelaunch page, you want to pay attention to your design. It must be clutter-free and you want to avoid using scrappy images.
You can check one of these 15 examples to see what will inspire you to build a viral pre-launch page to adapt for your startup. In fact, here is a guide to pre-launch landing pages
Do not underestimate the importance of email. You want to collect email address so you can notify them of your launch and communicate with them to sustain their interest in your startup all the way to launch.
In addition to your pre-launch page, you can now use Twitter cards to capture email addresses . Many startups, like Harrys have been successful with building their email list to up to 100,000 within 7days, before launch. If you want to build your email signup quickly, you will find these 3 steps useful
Capturing email addresses is the first step, engaging them is more important. It is good to have series of welcome emails to indoctrinate your subscribers, ask for feed backs and give special early bird offers.
You can also segment your list based on demographics to target them with the most appropriate message. For example, an ecommerce shop can segment its customers according to sex and send them welcome emails based on their preferences.
It is important to get the buzz out about your product, early on before you launch.
Take for example the prelaunch strategy behind The OpenFeint Bluff, the social gaming network for iPhone. Before they had written a single line of code, they sent a press release to TechCrunch and got the blog to cover the story. Only after many people signed up did they decide that building out the concept was worthwhile. So, they worked away at it for 45 days straight. The company later sold for $104 million.
Through PR outreach, you can engage potential customers, users, and other interested people early and often. That is what WaraCake did by leveraging the active community of Radar for quality feedback for the pre-launch of their new website. Jason Njoku of IrokoTV is a master of the art of PR that is why his startup is presumably more successful than the average Nigerian startup.
You can leverage social media to create a community of fans for your yet-to-be launched startups. For example, using Facebook, a freelance entrepreneur was able to gather over 1000 signups pre launch.
On social media, you need to post a lot of graphics , because as humans, we are visual creatures, which is why "sneak peeks" work so well. A sneak peek might include screenshots from your app, a video promo, or in some cases, even just text link in a blog post describing what your startup will be about.
There are other effective pre-launch strategies you can try include blogging, contests and other growth hack ideas.
Will the above strategy help you to get buzz for your startup? Share your views
