The world is reading news remake: the news, which has done result in USA Elections (you can easy find this news in search engines): "Who is managing Mrs. Hillary Clinton? Reposting this news you can help to improve the world". Also many links, for example: www.super-dobro.com ; www.prlog.org/12565419-who-is-managing-mrs-hillary-clinton-reposting-this-news-you-can-help-to-improve-the-world.html ; www.firmenpresse.de/pressrelease525529.html (WORLDWIDE NEWS.

HILLARY CLINTON?) ; firmenpresse.de/pressrelease477003/who-is-managing-mrs-clinton-reposting-this-news-you-can-help-improve-the-world.html ; www.prbuzz.com/politics-a-public-affairs/380427 (RUSSIA IS GOING TO MANAGE USA, UK TO MAKE GOOD WORLD? RUSSIA HELPS TO PREVENT TERRORISM IN USA) etc... RUSSIA CREATES WORLDWIDE SUPPORT. For making good relations, good situations in the world General Universal Information Defense Excellent Service created in Russian Federation (GUIDES, General director, creator: Anatoliy Golod, Ph.D.). It accumulates informational resources from the all world security services who want to make good situations in the world. Everybody should know that to make good situations in society there must be the real purpose, real reason for politicians, businessmen, for society, for all people. For more information, please, call to GUIDES, to Anatoliy Golod (General Universal Information Defense Excellent Service). But also is information that bad structures make problems to GUIDES director in contacts in phone calls, in work contacts. So, if you can help to make good contacts with journalists, politicians, economists, public, to make good contacts: it is actual for additional big good job, thank you!
For France elections this news can have big meaning. We think, that all candidates, including Emmanuel Macron, Francois Fillon, Marine Le Pen can help to do good job: it is obviously, that good can be the President, who will do good politics. Emmanuel Macron also can help to do good job. We think that he just have advisers, who say him to do the decisions absolutly similar with Hillary Clinton (maybe he also have good advisers, you know advisers can be different). But you can see, that they similar say that Russia is doing cyber attacks for their servers, that it can change elections results. Did you think what for? How usual cyber attacks on servers can influence people's decisions? It can influence just because Hillary Clinton or Emmanuel Macron talk about it: to talk is not a problem, to talk is good if to talk for good results, for solving problems, for good relations, but they or their advisers use it for bad politics (bad, because their adviser's managers do it to make bad relations between countries; why they talk about cyber attacks: because they get directions from structures who use special methods: when other countries too criticize Russia, then bad program structures who have their representatives in many countries do less indicators in Russia, in USA, in France, UK... in all countries; but they use program methods: so, when they do information that Russia do cyber attacks, then bad structures use it to make more real special cyber attacks on behalf from Russia using Russian big program weight, because Russia is the biggest size country; theory says that such programs are moving to every country (it can be managing, it can be casual), to every place in Universe, that's why program groups from different societies do such programs in other societies; they also stimulate different societies to do bad decisions in relation to other societies or to different people: that's because bad structures want also to make them programmable in bad relations, to make more less their or their society indicators; they also promote to block projects or people in society: that's because it is possible always to remind it in special systems, to use long time programs using bad indicators; so, it is better to do good relations with Russia, with other countries, to do good situations for good oriented people, for good oriented structures, to remove bad oriented structures, to solve casual problems, to develop good oriented projects, then all will get more good indicators to make good social, economics politics, to do good health, good relations in countries, among all countries). But Hillary Clinton confirmed that she did bad politics when she worked in USA State Department, when she talked it before elections; it was obviously that Donald Trump is more perspective: maybe he can have different mind in economics, but momentous is that it seems that he will not do big military conflicts in different countries: he can do his decisions for good relations, he is normal man, he demonstrates it even these days: that's why structures who make conflicts pay and tune different organizations too much criticize him: conflict structures want candidates similar Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton who do what conflict structures say. But all people need candidates, Presidents who do what all people need for making good situations, good relations for people. We, all people recommend to use good politics (to do good relations in countries, to do good relations between, among all countries). So, we also will be glad to talk with Emmanuel Macron, Francois Fillon, Marine Le Pen. We think that real President can be those who is going to do real good politics. If Emmanuel Macron want to do good politics, very good to discuss the information from this news, he also can help to check networks who do many bad instructions to many people in France, USA, Russia, UK, in many countries. So, we also will be glad to talk with Emmanuel Macron, Francois Fillon, Marine Le Pen. All candidates can help to make good situations in society: everybody know: they must help to do good situations in the society. You can read: what are structures which do bad directions to people in private communications, in politics: they used their methods when bad structures prepared 2nd big war, but they use them also in modern society to change in all countries economics for firms, health for many people. If discuss it in mass media, with politicians we can direct all networks for good relations, it is just necessary to work for it (we know that many specialists in official special services work for good results in society; informers networks must be used for good purposes, for real defense, security help; but you can know that bad structures use even official special services representatives to use their informers networks for instructions in many organizations, they can say you everything what is able for sounding, because it is their traditional methods; but if they will tell you what to do, you always can say that you can take your decisions, that you can talk to know more for taking your decisions: if we discuss the information more, we can make good situations in many countries, in the world; real official special services will help: because big programs from bad structures are that all their methods they use even more around good representatives in official special services: but they obviously didn't inform them about it; we can help to inform, then good results will be for society, for many people; please give this information to journalists, politicians, society).
Who is managing Mrs. Hillary Clinton? You know that it is possible different behaviour in society, good relations is good way. But there is even the information that quite possible that Hillary Clinton was recieving directions from behaviour structures when she met Bill Clinton. Bill was rather perspective and behavior structures just planned in advance a girl for knowing about him, to direct him in different questions. It could be not bad and not good but sometimes problem structures use it to direct them, because girls like Hillary don't want that their boyfriends like Bill, know that she was recieving instructions what to do in their private relations (behaviour structures have rather many people on different posts, that's real reasons why different politicians make strange politics, they or their friends get instructions from behaviour structures, but mass media can help to direct all these networks for making good relations in society). If Hillary will continue bad politics, then she will work against her people interests. But she can make good step: to help to make good relations with Russia, with other countries too, then it will be good way for good work. (it is quite possible, but in any case she can help to make good job: to check the behaviour networks, to direct these networks for good relations; because is real information that the structures, which made Second big war, are using these networks, they even pay to official represantatives for using security's network in different countries for preparing conflicts and difficulties in different regions). It is necessary to check networks, which makes directions to people in private communications: you know, these networks were used by problem structures when problem structures programmably directed people for making 2nd world war, but in modern society these networks are using by problem structures to change decisions in different spheres, but also the problem structures preparing wars, conflicts in different countries and problem structures are preparing big war to some periods in future. Their programs bases in a few directions: they pay to thousands usual and high level people in every city in all countries for they do the special reactions during work and personal communications: so, they do the statistics for special systems, which analizing behavior and which help to decide what behavior will be for other many people around them. Also problem structures use people with directions in talkings for managing their friends or casual people (very popular that they use directions even in intimacy communications both: for men, for women: that's also why so many girls alone with children: problem structures sometimes tell to do so to their boyfriends, but sometimes they tell to girls to do things that the problem structures know that their boyfriends individually don't like it, that's also why they go away sometimes). So, knowing that and discuss it in mass media we can direct all these networks for good relations, because usually they don't know what for they get directions, so, if it will be known, many people will make more good relations and it will be also good for their friends and casual people. But it is possible to make good situations in all regions, it is momentous to start the information, it is actual for all countries. (* There is really momentous information in this news, but you know that sometimes problem structures can give you any directions, any information about those who can explain really momentous news (they are using even their representatives in famous organizations, including official organizations); so, if they talked you before or after about this momentous news, be ready to answer, that you can decide and to make news, to talk more about the momentous news, the information in this news can really improve the world politics; the information is actual for all countries).
Very momentous news for journalists, politicians, society. You can use the news for your work, also it will be good, if you will recommend this news to your friends, to journalists, to politicians, it can really improve the world, when we work together. Thank you.

Man's jacket
People and Brands:
Medium: Black wool gabardine,striped velveteen, tassels, brass
Date: 1988
Country: France
Credit: Museum purchase
This jacket (worn with pants) underscores Jean-Paul Gaultier's mastery of fusing formality and playful irreverence. While the jacket appears simple from the front, a distinctly non-traditional, boldly striped, velvet fabric was chosen for the back. The velvet is adorned with heraldic motifs, both authentic and invented. Fleurs de lis are combined with Gaultier's own insignia, including his monogram and the phrase, "too fast to live, too young to die." Large tassels add motion and dimension, while metal grommets allude to Gaultier's Punk and streetwear sensibility.

« Roundup Post: Teachers Rethinking Time | Main | The Public Persona of Teacher Leaders »
Creating 21st-Century Teachers for 21st-Century Students
Justin Minkel
Kids pay more attention to what we do than what we say. That simple truth has profound implications for teaching 21st-century skills: If we want students to collaborate, innovate, and solve problems, we need to model these skills ourselves.
During the best week of professional development I have experienced, my colleagues and I taught one another. On Monday, our school's math coach stopped by my classroom to look at student work together and plan next steps. The following day, she observed me teaching and gave me the constructive criticism I had invited. Later that week, I went down the hall to watch an outstanding new teacher in the grade above mine integrate technology with productive group work. On Friday, the teacher next door came over to observe how I use Writers' Workshop to teach expository text structures.
My colleagues and I did what Singapore does so wellwe took part in an "ecosystem" of education, an open system that enables best practices to escape the confines of each teacher's classroom. We also did what Ron Thorpe, the head of National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, talked about at this year's International Summit on the Teaching Profession. Observing good teaching is not enough, he emphasized. Teacher leaders need to make explicit not just what they're doing, but what they're thinking.
We made time to share the thought process behind the instruction we observed in each other's classrooms. This intellectual aspect of collaboration has made Finland a leader in teacher recruitment and retention as well as student achievement. In Finland, teaching is a knowledge profession where teacher leaders engage in inquiry together.
The benefit of this collaboration to our students was twofold. First, we became better teachers that week. Second, we practiced what we preached. We set goals to hone our strengths and address our weaknesses, then worked together to meet those goals, just as we expect our students to do.
In Finland and Singapore, action research isn't just something preservice teachers do to get their teaching credential. Instead, designing questions about the craft of teaching is an integral part of teacher leaders' ongoing professional development.
At a policy level, the best systems bring teacher leaders and policymakers together as partners rather than adversaries. We have all seen politicians who cite the U.S.'s dismal PISA rankings to highlight the need for reform, then go on to suggest reforms like privatizing education or punishing "failing" schools that are the exact opposite of the best practices implemented by high-performing nations.
As teacher leaders, we need to make this simple case: If we want to transform the systems that shape 21st-century students, we need to transform the systems that shape 21st-century teachers, too.
Justin Minkel teaches 2nd and 3rd grade in northwest Arkansas and was the 2007 Arkansas Teacher of the Year.

Ely's pro-cop Christian charity donation: Readers respond
Below, read a collection of City Pages reader responses to 'Ely, MN police sell-out to Twin Metals, weird pro-cop Christian charity':
David Franks:
Whining Mike,
I grew up in Ely Minnesota. Our High-school had roughly 160 students per class. My father was a miner. I worked for the USFS Ely Engineering Unit as a survey technician. Survey and road engineering was done for lumber sales and "harvesting". It also served as fire safety. Now the feds burn the forest, what a joke. The forest is a blown down disaster and fire hazard. Students and folks of all kinds were paid to replant trees every summer. You should see the forests that were planted from back in the late 70's and early 80's.
I was a young person when Ken Smith was the Chief of police and my neighbor Mr. Pete Jajick was on the force. They protected all the citizenry just like they do today. I went to school with the current chief. You're a babbling ignorant fool.
Poverty is a direct result of the "Environmental Crusade" your kind has inflicted upon the citizens of Northern Minnesota.
Mining and lumber provided very comfortable lifestyles for all the citizens that were engaged in it or its logistical support.
Your BWCA is nothing special. It is there many Ely miners, loggers, and outfitters raised families, hunted, trapped, snowmobiled and boated well before some jackass got an idea to save it for fruit cakes that could give a rat's ass about anybody but themselves.
I wished the president would ship all the illegal aliens up to the four mile portage with, tents, axes, fishing poles, and bug dope. Since you freaks don't support border control and protection I figured that would be a great way to get your attention. .
If I were king for a day, the railroad tracks would go right back in, mining and logging would go hand in hand with outfitting fishing trips just like before.
That would help with the poverty.
Mike Ogren:
There just isn't enough space in both papers for you and Scott to put into words how unhappy you are that America is prosperous again after eight years of the dumbass Kenyan. Thank God for Trump and truth should be dead before his presidency is over.
Linda Maki:
Why is this any business of City Pages Minneapolis? Or anyone who lives in Minneapolis? Why not pay attention to your own problems, like 60,000 Muslims?
Mikey Lund:
We have 6 police officers. They've all had their minds made up on mining before TMM ever started donating. This "evil" company has also donated to and sponsors to the community. From the local food shelf to our deteriorating hockey arena. It's what mining companies have done in this area for years-donating to the communities in which their workforce resides. Who's the last fat pocket to donate to our infrastructure or community to help the people that live here 365? I support anyone's right to be for or against mining in Ely but don't tarnish the names of our boys in blue. To imply they'd only help those who were In line with their personal beliefs could be viewed as Ely having a biased/corrupt police force. That's sad and plain wrong in my opinion!! I'm glad they'll be protected in case a terrible scenario occurs! When you all come up for vacation I'll be sure to have a sign up asking for donations for all us poor Elyites.
Barbara Walther Whited:
Right, we hear all the time about the riot problems in Ely, MN. Those canoeists can be so out of control.

Cutting AmeriCorps from communities
March 2, 2017
Since the early 90's, over one million volunteers have served in AmeriCorps nationwide.
The non-profit organization has helped restore homes from natural disasters, clean the community, introduce innovative science programs and most of all, mentor young children.
But due to an unexpected cut, this group may not have as much time to get things done.
President Trump announced the fiscal budget cuts are supposed to ease our nation's debt.
These cuts will affect the Corporation for national and community service, which includes AmeriCorps. For junior Chelsea Craig, this cut will go deeper than an expense setback.
"Volunteering has taught me a lot about myself. I have found that I really enjoy offering help to others and making a difference in others lives," Craig said.
The modern languages major has served as a mentor in the SEE (Synergy, Education and Environment) AmeriCorps program of West Monroe since August.
Craig wants to become a teacher after she graduates and saw this opportunity as a way to plant a seed in children's futures.
"The children…are able to look up to a mentor who cares about them, and they know for sure that they have someone to support them if they don't have that anywhere else," Craig said.
AmeriCorps is supported by the government and donors that help others in their community meet their critical needs. According to The Advocate, AmeriCorps currently has 1,300 members serving 42 parishes throughout Louisiana.
AmeriCorps requires about one billion dollars, which is only 0.03 percent of the nation's budget – small in percent, but big in impact.
According to SEE Director Denise Calhoun, this cut could never replace the learning experience of serving the community.
"Members are changed.
They grow. They learn how to be better teachers, social workers, or just citizens," Calhoun said.
"For every child our program touches, an AmeriCorps member becomes a better person for the service. I strongly believe it must be an equal exchange."
SEE started 15 years ago, and Calhoun has been director for seven.
She believes that AmeriCorps provided endless service to an underserved community, and when it leaves, the community will feel it.
"When it ends, we will all feel the loss. Loss of programs, loss of opportunities and for some – loss of hope."
Along with AmeriCorps, programs that could be slashed are the senior community service employment, community development block grant and 21st Century Community Learning Centers programs.

PanoMoments: Capture living 360 degree VR photos
PanoMoments are neither photos nor videos. You could describe them as a stitchless 360° living photo, or an interactive VR time loop, but you really need to experience one (ideally on a mobile device) to fully appreciate what they are. During our IVRPA presentation we'll be walking through the underlying concepts, provide hand-on demos of the new high-performance 60fps native VR mobile apps (how PanoMoments are meant to be viewed), and guidance on how to capture them on your own.
VR absolutely needs an abundance of engaging and high quality content. We feel that PanoMoments fit squarely in the gap between 360° photos and 360° videos, and open up a whole new creative medium to explore. Our motivation has always been to see what kinds of amazing content the community will create, and we're very excited to be working in partnership with Entaniya and showing our latest developments at IVRPA.
Presented by:
Dustin Kerstein PanoMoments

Healing Music for Turbulent Times
Two musicians find friendship during quarantine.
"Let's Be Cops" is being positioned as the "ultimate buddy cop movie"—except that the leads, Justin Miller (Damon Wayans Jr.) and Ryan O'Malley (Jake Johnson), aren't cops! In fact, these two misfits aren't making much of a positive dent in life. The words "aimless," "unmotivated" and "tragically delusional" could easily, and accurately, be assigned.
Thirtysomething Ryan, still reveling in his glory days as a college quarterback, bounces from job to job—his appearance in a herpes drug commercial a career pinnacle.
Equally aimless is nerdy nice guy Justin, who toils at a videogame company, where his insipid bosses prefer half-baked zombie antics instead of his recent game proposal that features real-life cops in adrenaline pumping, realistic crime scenarios.
A college reunion with a pseudo-masquerade party theme inadvertently changes the trajectory of Ryan and Justin's humdrum lives. Thinking it's a costume bash, they sport the LAPD uniforms that Justin used in his recent failed video game pitch.
After being ridiculed, the two best friends are quickly reminded of their status on life's totem pole. Then, they notice something has changed as they walk down the streets of Hollywood in uniform: Sexy women swarm them, the criminally minded follow their every silly command and bartenders give them drinks on the house, all because they are mistaken for cops.
For Ryan, who seems allergic to responsibility and devoid of moral guidelines, the illusion of power is the ultimate high and, like any addict, he pushes for more. Justin, who suffers from chronic low self-esteem, has a slightly better grasp of the situation but can't muster the courage to stop his buddy.
Ryan raises the stakes when he purchases a police car (off eBay), complete with lights and a radio scanner. Now the misguided boys are rolling up to real 911 calls.
Justin isn't completely immune to the abuse of authority and ignites a romantic liaison with a young waitress named Josie (Nina Dobrev). As their flirtation heats up, he finds himself vying for her affection against Euro-mobster Mossi Devic (James D'Arcy), along with his pack of thugs.
Bad goes to worse. Justin and Ryan stumble into a dangerously complicated operation littered with murderous mobsters and dirty cops. Bullets fly like confetti—fake cops, real trouble.
The idea for "Let's Be Cops" was born when director/cowriter Luke Greenfield decided to spend Halloween in a police officer's uniform, a choice that had unexpected consequences.
"My costume designer got me a real LAPD uniform, and my buddy and I walked around Los Angeles," Greenfield shared. "The sense of power and authority was incredible."
This comedy is flat-out hilarious. A special treat is the appearance of Keegan-Michael Key ("Key and Peele") as a reality challenged Domican "drug informant" with an unusual sense of sentimentality.
The film is directed with skill, shot with a keen eye and edited with a modern and surging pace. The screenplay is equally well constructed and the music supervision under Christophe Beck and Jake Monaco, who collaborated on the score, compliments an already impressive film. Beck was behind the score of the Golden Globe- and Oscar-winning film "Frozen."
This action comedy isn't perfect, despite the high caliber of the team, because in my opinion, the lack of consequences that the lead characters experience for their continued and escalated bad behavior is zero. It's just not addressed, much like finding Asian and Black characters on TV in the 1950s!
When Justin—peer pressured driven—takes a hit of crystal meth, the sequences that follow—although hilarious—make it seem like the drug isn't illegal, devastating and highly addictive. And when Ryan casually details the number of times he's used that drug and others, the film leaves the impression that it's "OK" to party because nothing bad happens, much like in a video game.
Greenfield is a prolific filmmaker, and I suspect, based on the audiences reaction at the advance screening, that the "Let's Be Cops" franchise is forthcoming.
That prediction on record, I'm hoping for a better moral compass in the next round, so the comic jab, "Let's Go to Rehab," won't litter the Twittersphere.
This is a comic gem, but fact is fact: You impersonate a police officer and you go to jail, and crack, no matter how many well delivered jokes are piled on it, is still "whack."

No matter your experience with dogs, you should be aware of how much is involved in dog care. This is not something you can just jump into with no information. To increase your knowledge, take a look at the tips below.
Obviously, dogs are unable to sleep. Therefore, you have to pay attention to your canine's non-verbal cues. You should never pressure your pet into interacting with strangers, be they human or canine. This could end up in negative biting or fighting behavior. Watch for these non-verbal hints and let the dog guide your actions.
If you have medication is your home, even if it is just over-the-counter medication, place it where your dog cannot access it. Many medicines that benefit you can be harmful or fatal to your dog. If, by chance, a dog does eat some of your pills, contact the vet right away.
Provide your dog with rawhide to chew on rather than actual meat bones. Real animal bones can chip and pose a danger to your dog's digestive tract and mouth. Rawhide is very healthy and will help your dog develop some strong teeth. Never ever give him a real bone!
If your dog spends time outside, he should have a good house. You can purchase one or build one yourself if you are handy. If his feet get wet, being exposed to extreme weather can cause health issues and stress. Protect them from precipitation and wind by providing them a dry and spacious shelter.
Do not try to feed your dog something they do not like. If you purchase a treat your dog doesn't appear to like, just try another brand rather than making him eat. When you have a dog, get to know his likes and dislikes.
Make sure your dog knows how to properly walk while it's leashed. Your dog should learn to walk by the side of you, teach them to 'heel'. Your dog will be safer in this position, and you'll both enjoy your walks more this way. When you dog understands the command to heel, you can relax occasionally and walk with a loose leash without having your arm pulled off.
You can always choose to foster a dog for a few weeks if you're not sure about making the full commitment of dog ownership. Many homeless and abused animals are waiting in shelters for someone to adopt them and with over-crowding, resources are slim. Fostering an animal will help animals and help you decide whether or not you would like to keep a dog of your own.
Properly caring for your dog should be easier now that you know more on this topic. You just need to be as loving and patient as possible with your pet. Conduct a bit of research and make sure that both you and your dog are happy.

The Process
The Angels' Share
During the ageing process, at least 2% of the whisky in each barrel evaporates through the oak. The distilleries refer to this portion as the Angels' Share. Well, we've always known that whisky is a heavenly drink!
The exact amount of whisky lost depends on factors such as temperature and the quality of the cask.
Although 2% may sound like a small amount, over a ten year maturation period it can add up to many hundreds of thousands of litres (and surely some very tipsy angels!).
Finishing With Finesse
Scotch Whisky must be matured in oak casks for a minimum of three years, and is often matured much longer. 'Finishing' is an extension of the maturation process, when the spirit is subsequently filled into empty casks that previously held other wines or spirits for a further relatively short period at the end of maturation. The cask used for finishing must have been drained of any liquid prior to its use and any change in the spirit will therefore result from its interaction over time with the wood of the cask.

text: When he told the price to the ophthalmologist who had written him the prescription, "He said, 'Why don't you try to find a Canadian pharmacy that will sell it? '" recalled Bill, an 81-year-old retired statistician, who requested his real name not be published. Since then, he has regularly ordered the medication from Canadian outlets, which, after verifying his prescription, have the Copaxone shipped from the United Kingdom to him. A 28-week supply—one injectable vial per week—most recently cost him $1,200 from a Canadian pharmacy. The last time he checked prices of the same supply at U. pharmacies, he saw it would have cost him between $4,500 and $5,550, Bill said. Why Americans pay more for medicine Bill said he is happy with the thousands of dollars over the years that he's saved from buying from Canada, and with the effectiveness of the drug, which has kept his eye condition in check. But Bill's international online shopping violates the law—a fact that he was unaware of until he spoke with CNBC this week.

Free shipping and bonuses Cheap generic medications, Good Quality. to nation is it legal to bye viagra from canada from besides suffering. Everyone knows drug prices in the United States are out of control. It's no wonder Americans turn to alternative sources, such as buying online, to get the medications they need. Especially when those medications can be found 75-90% cheaper than buying at the local pharmacy. Well via the New Yorker: Is "generic Viagra" from mail-order pharmacies legit? For the most part, their answer is very one-sided and misses out on some important details. So while their answer may have left us hanging, pardon the pun, we thought we'd try giving a more accurate answer. No other drug, generic or otherwise, is as sought after online as Pfizer's signature drug, Viagra. Unfortunately for some, this can also mean acquiring potentially harmful counterfeits if purchased from less than reputable sources. First there were organized bus trips across the border to fill prescriptions. However, federal officials have decided to exercise "enforcement discretion" in dealing with prescription drugs brought across the border, provided the drugs are not narcotics or other controlled substances. citizens have discovered that one way to beat the high cost of prescription drugs is to buy them from Canada, where the government controls drug prices. Under the Prescription Drug Marketing Act of 1987, it is illegal for anyone other than the original manufacturer to bring prescription drugs into the country. Now, licensed Internet pharmacies with names like Canada and Canada have sprung up across Canada to fill orders from American consumers. A 30 tablet supply of the drug Abilify costs $199.70 from an online Canadian drugstore, but $711.83 if ordered at Walgreens. (Note: these are 2013 prices.) But is it legal to buy medications from Canadian pharmacies? This means that as long as a person brings back no more than a three-month supply for personal use, border officials generally look the other way, Thomas Mc Ginnis, director of pharmacy affairs for the U. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), told the in March 2001. One 10 capsule dose of Tamiflu sells for $112.20 in the U. Patients generally may order refills in amounts up to a three-month supply without interference. Prescription drugs cannot be legally mailed into the United States by foreign "e-pharmacies." But here again officials are employing "enforcement discretion," preferring to use limited resources to crack down on large commercial drug supplies and narcotics, not prescription-drug shipments for personal consumption. Thus, customs officials allow the companies to mail up to 90-day supplies of medications. While it is relatively easy to buy prescription drugs from Canada over the Internet, it may be dangerous.

More About PEI
We are leading the FieldSTEM movement in Washington by connecting the natural resource, agriculture, and environmental sectors to education and providing businesses with tools to effectively engage students in career connected learning that will help them attain employment and thrive in future jobs. By collaborating with marginalized communities including rural, low-income, and Tribal communities, we promote diverse and inclusive models of learning that lead to equity, one of our core values. At the same time, we are helping to bridge the gap between major workforce needs that go unmet in the natural resource, agriculture, and environment sectors, and student perception that there are no jobs available in their communities.
Our resources and tools include customizable, integrated curriculum guides and performance tasks that are designed by education experts and aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). As we serve more educators, schools, and districts throughout the state, we are continually developing and refining our tools and resources to meet teacher needs.

Before I began the housewife challenge I made a deal with myself: The challenge would be paused on days that M was home. This meant that on weekends especially but also on holidays I would suspend the challenge to just spend time with him. Well on Friday M conducted a work meeting for home. He and his coworkers got here about the time I normally do all my projects and chores and they were still here at the hour I normally clean the kitchen and make dinner. Being a work function, I hid away so as not to disturb them and accomplished very little for that day. Therefore, last week I only did four days of the challenge. Let's be entirely honest – I could have done some of my housewife challenge for M's meeting but was too lazy. I was still toying with it as a failure or as a "non-day" when I got the other bad news.
Friday, the day M had his meeting, brought tragic news. My cousin who has been going through chemo for colon cancer went into organ failure. The doctors didn't give him much time to live. My parents made it down to his side to say goodbye and comfort his family but it took an emotional toll on all of us. He died Saturday evening. Aunts and uncles should die before cousins. He was the first non-grandparent to die. I am sad and my heart breaks for his family and his parents. Anyways, there will be a funeral, probably later this week, and I'll go down there, thus suspending the housewife challenge for at least another day (possibly two depending on circumstances). My challenge will now end in mid-April instead of early April.
Remember: presence with family and friends is more important than a picture perfect house.

Lots of Rams Fans Are Taking Expo to the Coliseum!
At Tuesday's #VoteYesOnM press event beneath Los Angeles Coliseum's iconic peristyle, Mayor Eric Garcetti highlighted the popularity of recent Expo Line ridership as testament to Metro's potential to move people fast and efficiently. The presser was attended by LA Rams Executive VP Kevin Demoff, Metro Board Director Jackie Dupont-Walker and Measure M's broad coalition of community and advocacy partners including Move LA's very own Denny Zane!
Metro's Expo line has been heavily populated by football fans eager to ditch their cars for a less traffic-congested option. Attendance at the Rams' opener with the Seattle Seahawks was 80,147, according to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Metro's the Source calculated that this meant that about 26 percent of those who attended took Metro.Read more
Why Older Americans Say #VoteYesOnM
The depth and breadth of the coalition that's vigorously supporting Measure M is impressive, but today we'd like to call out AARP California and St. Barnabas Senior Services in particular for their enthusiastic support and active campaigning.
AARP California, representing 1 million older Americans in LA County alone, has endorsed Measure M—the first time this powerful organization has ever endorsed and is actively campaigning for a local ballot measure. AARP CA prioritized Measure M because the number of people aged 65 and over is likely to double in 15 years, making it critical that LA County's transportation system works for people who can't—or don't want to—drive. St. Barnabus, LA's oldest senior services agency, has also endorsed and is getting out the vote for Measure M.
The reasons both organizations are on board and pledging to get out the vote is because Measure M will:
- Make it easier for people of all ages and incomes to get to jobs, health care and other essential services by providing more transportation options in more neighborhoods
- Help reduce isolation for seniors and increase access to social connections that keep us healthy as we age
- Repair sidewalks and install curb cuts, making it easier for people to walk, bike, and push a stroller or walker to their destinations
- Ensure that fares on both trains and busses remain low for seniors and people with disabilities
- Create good jobs for grandchildren!

Move LA's Role in Measure M
Move LA launched its mission in 2007 by convening business, labor and environmental interests, political consultants, pollsters and elected officials to assess whether a transportation ballot measure could win in the election of 2008—and we were there at the victory press conference when Measure R won. We were also there at Union Station on August 31 when LA Mayor Eric Garcetti announced the campaign for Measure M.
Today our mission took a giant leap forward with the LA Times lengthy endorsement of Measure M. Our interest in 2007 was in solving the problem of "soul-crushing traffic," as the Times called it today. The best way to avoid that traffic is to take the train, and Measure M would build what would become the 2nd-largest transit system in the U.S. Pledge HERE to #VoteYesOnM!
Some of you remember Move LA's conference in the spring of 2014 when we released our "Straw Man" ballot measure proposal and encouraged all of LA County to "dream big." It was a resounding message, and our coalition grew to include faith-based groups, social equity advocates, older Americans, people with disabilities, and students—a constituency so large it could provide the "margin of victory" allowing Measure M to win.
We believe Move LA has played a special role in what could be the imminent success of Measure M: We created the table around which a long back-and-forth conversation took place over several years and resulted in 51 more Straw Man proposals that eventually allowed stakeholders to reach consensus about which projects and programs should be funded by what became Measure M.
The end result was probably the most robust and well-informed engagement effort ever for a transportation ballot measure in LA County. This included a truly bottoms-up planning process at LA Metro with the result that local governments were fully engaged and that 48,000 people participated in Metro's public outreach and engagement process—either speaking out at board meetings, writing letters, or attending public forums or telephone town hall meetings.
Of the 13 elected officials who served on the Metro board in 2008 only one remains on the board now who supported Measure R in 2008—Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian—which is indicative of the challenge we faced to keep the momentum going. But Move LA has been there since the beginning helping to develop and drive the conversation and coalition.
There are about 30 transportation measures on ballots across the U.S. in the Nov. 8 election, and ours is the biggest and most ambitious—we are, after all, the 2nd largest metro area in the U.S. so we have to dream big! We are proud of our contribution. We helped keep the dream of a transformational transportation investment alive and this is why Measure M — for mobility, momentum and mojo, at a minimum — is going to win. Especially if we tell our friends, neighbors, family and colleagues to #VoteYesOnM November 8! Pledge HERE to #VoteYesOnM!
UPDATE! Who's Endorsing Measure M? The . . .
The LA Times endorsed Measure M today, saying that in order "to maintain the region's quality of life Los Angeles County has to keep investing in transportation." Move LA says that for all who are stuck in "soul-crushing traffic"—as the Times describes it—#VoteYesOnM and tell family/friends/neighbors/people you work with to vote for Measure M too! The LA Times editorial also said:
"Los Angeles County residents crave fast, convenient and affordable transportation options. Just look at what happened when the new Expo Line extension to Santa Monica opened in May. It was crowded from the get-go, and ridership on the line since then has climbed 42% on weekdays and 90% on Sundays.
"That experience has been repeated again and again as the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority has opened new rapid transit lines. More than 70% of the riders surveyed on the Gold Line after the extension to Azusa was opened in March said they were new to the train, and 2/3 of those said that they used to drive prior to taking the light rail. The Orange Line busway in the San Fernando Valley has far exceeded ridership projections.
"There's pent-up demand for alternatives to sitting in soul-crushing, air-polluting traffic. Los Angeles grew into a metropolis by relying on cars and freeways, but the region cannot continue to prosper without investing in a modern, efficient transportation system. Congestion makes it harder to conduct business and move goods — a problem in a region with the nation's largest port complex. With a half-built transit system, people are left to drive long distances or rely on multiple buses and trains to reach work or school. Or worse, it means they don't consider certain jobs or opportunities because of the commute."
Who's Endorsing Measure M?
In November, LA County residents will be voting on Measure M to build a 21st Century transportation network of subway, light rail, bus rapid transit, bus and bike lanes into every corner of LA County with the goal of easing traffic congestion by offering people alternatives to driving. Measure M also provides funding for maintenance of the system and for operations, as well as discounted transit fares for older Americans, people with disabilities and students. Here is a partial list of 74 organizations that have endorsed Measure M.

Why Should College and University Students Support Measure M?
Students have every reason to support Measure M and what would be a transformational investment in LA's public transportation system ($120 billion in just the first 40 years). It includes, for example, a significant amount of money for bus and rail operations that would help keep fares low, including a dedicated $2.4 billion revenue stream (over the first 40 years) for discounted transit passes for students, seniors and the disabled—and that $2.4 million is a floor, not a ceiling, and could be increased. (Photo from the Student Senate of California Community Colleges Region VII meeting at LA Trade Tech College Sept. 16, with Treasurer Araksya Nordikyan, Legislative Affairs Director Saleem Moinuddin, LA Community College District Student Trustee Alexa Victoriano, Region VII Chair Lorena Aguilar and Parliamentarian Gerson Liahut-Sanchez.)
Measure M would also build at least 16 new rail and bus rapid transit projects, improve every major freeway and highway, repair sidewalks and build bike lanes including closing all the gaps in the 51-mile LA River bike path from the San Fernando Valley to Long Beach. This pie chart shows how the money will be spent: 16%, for example, goes to the 88 cities in LA County based on their population and employment. Cities in Southeast LA County and in the South Bay, for example, would get $48 million each year to fund their transportation priorities—whether sidewalks or bike lanes, potholes, intersection improvements or traffic signal synchronization.
The investment plan was developed over an extensive 3-year planning process with all 88 cities in LA County, and 48,000 people weighed in at public hearings or telephone town halls, and the maps available on our website show you that every corner of LA County gets major projects.
In a nutshell, students should vote for Measure M because it will 1) build a bigger transit system, 2) fund better service and keep fares low, 3) build bike lanes and repair sidewalks to make it easier to get to and from stations, 4) create 465,000 good, middle-class jobs that will have Project Labor Agreements and a Construction Careers policy in place to help students and others get into apprenticeship programs, and 5) give us cleaner air and a cooler planet!
For all of these reasons we'd like to help turn out the student vote for Measure M, and are looking for 5 students who would be willing to host events on college and university campuses and help push out a student campaign on social media. Please email Gloria Ohland at Move LA if you have any interest in helping us! (Or call, 21-304-0444.)

AARP Endorses Measure M: First Time AARP Has Ever Endorsed Local Ballot Measure
AARP has endorsed and will be campaigning for Measure M to build out LA County's public transit system—the first time that AARP has ever endorsed a local ballot initiative. AARP is doing this because Measure M would provide funding to keep transit fares affordable for both seniors and people with disabilities—important because the population of LA County residents 65 years or older is expected to increase to 2 million soon (LA County's population is about 10 million).
"Our county is undergoing a tremendous demographic shift, so we must take action now to keep up and ensure we ease congestion and help seniors get where they need to go," Mayor Garcetti said at an AARP press conference at a senior living apartment in Carson on Tuesday. "Measure M extends transit and improves freeway traffic flow countywide, and also delivers funds to each of L.A. County's 88 cities so they can pursue their own local projects to repave roads, fix sidewalks and fill potholes."
AARP California Director Nancy McPherson said that she looked forward to success in November. LA Mayor Eric Garcetti said that he looked forward to joining AARP—in the future.
Also at the press conference were Carson City Councilmember Jawane Hilton, Ron Miller, executive secretary of the LA/OC County Building Trades, Move LA Executive Director Denny Zane, and Move LA Leadership Board President Marlene Grossman (in photo). Denny and Marlene have been discussing the idea of this ballot measure with AARP for more than a year.
At the press conference Move LA Executive Director Denny Zane said Measure M would build "the most modern, advanced and extensive transportation system in North America, with perhaps the exception of Manhattan—but ours will be new. This is an extraordinary opportunity."
Why Measure M Is the Most Important Measure on the Nov. 8 Ballot
Almost on the eve of Labor Day and the day after the launch of Measure M—the plan to build the 2nd-largest transit system in the U.S.—it's important to remember what Measure R did for us. Approved by 2/3 of voters in November 2008, it gave us a leg up out of the Great Recession, playing an important role in bringing us back from the brink by providing billions of dollars for near-term investment in transportation and a total investment of $36 billion over three decades.
Unemployment hit a high of 10.8% in California in 2009, and 12.8% in LA County. But we are back! Unemployment is down to 5.9% in California and 5.2% in LA County—a rate low enough that some consider it "full employment"—and job production here now appears to be more robust than in the state and nation as a whole. We have a lot to celebrate as we head toward the Nov. 8 election. Read what Ron Miller, executive secretary of the LA/OC Building Trades Council, has to say about the significance of the public investment in jobs and apprenticeship programs.Read more
Yes on Measure M Team Put On a Pretty Good Show!
At the launch of the Measure M campaign in honor of Labor Day and in front of Union Station in the blazing heat (climate change?), Tracy Hernandez of BizFed (the massive countywide alliance of 272,000 businesses) said it best: "This crazy cast of characters does not stand together all that often. But we stand together for Measure M." Next up was LA City Councilmember Mike Bonin, who observed: "We've got more speakers than rail lines!" (Note a very happy Move LA ED Denny Zane to the right!) There were some other good one-liner campaign slogans . . .Read more
LA Trade Tech President Larry Frank & a Huge Coalition Did the Impossible, Winning a 2nd Federal Empowerment Zone Designation
The Planning Report interviews LA Trade Tech President Larry Frank, who along with a broad coalition of elected officials, community leaders, local agencies and nonprofits did the impossible—winning a 2nd federal Promise Zone designation in LA (the South LA Transit Empowerment Zone or SLATE-Z) that opens the door to substantial local and federal assistance: 46% of South LA's 700,000 residents live below the poverty line, and 44.5% work full-time yet still live below 150% over the federal poverty line—more than twice the rate of workers in LA County overall.
Move LA was one of the partners at the very big table set by long-time partner Larry Frank and program director Heddy Nam, and wholly supports the idea that this "transit empowerment zone" can capture the synergy that occurs with concurrent public investment in jobs, economic development, education, public safety, and mobility in South Los Angeles.Read more

As somebody who likes looking at charts before they buy to compare items, I was surprised by this cover. They have 'soft touch' listed as a quality of all covercraft materials and this cover is listed as 'best'. Now I don't know what their definition of soft touch is but the material is similar in my opinion to the outer layer of a Gortex jacket. Not as soft as I would have hoped for.

£18,000 Settlement for Incorrect Dental Treatment
A young woman who required hospital treatment after her dentist failed to diagnose an infected tooth has won damages in an out-of-court settlement.
Kimberley Wilson, 18, began to experience pain in her tooth about a year after it was filled by her dentist, Dr Syed Ahad. Her face swelled up and the pain was so intense that she had to go to hospital. The course of treatment involved first draining an abscess on the tooth and then undergoing an operation to have the tooth removed.
Ms Wilson decided to bring a claim against Dr Ahad. She was able to provide expert evidence that there had been an infection in the root of the tooth and that by filling it Dr Ahad had made it worse. The correct procedure would have been root canal treatment in order to eradicate the infection.
After undergoing the operation, Ms Wilson required further cosmetic surgery to improve the appearance of scarring to her neck.
Dr Ahad neither denied nor admitted liability, but an out-of-court settlement of £18,000 was agreed.

Recently I have been applying the methods of experimental philosophy to, I believe, an untapped area of philosophy: debates concerning the cognitive/non-cognitive nature of metaphor (though work in psycholinguistics has adressed similar issues with similar methods). Non-cognitivists--who hold that metaphors lack propositional contents other than the contents they possess on a purely literal reading (Cooper, Davidson, Reimer)--have traditionally appealed to a standard argument for their position: 1) if metaphors had contents distinct from their literal contents, we would be able to satisfactorily paraphrase these contents in other words; 2) we're not able to satisfactorily paraphrase these purported contents; 3) therefore, metaphors lack secondary contents. Most everyone--non-cognitivist or cognitivist--has conceded p2, so what debate there has been has focused on the p1. In this paper, however, I argue that the philosophical analysis which gets us p2, suffers from several specific problems. Experimental analysis, I argue, avoids these problems. And, when I conduct such experimental analysis, we see the purported inadequacy of paraphrases of metaphors evaporate. In particular, paraphrases of the literal contents of literal sentences were judged no more or less adequate than paraphrases of the purported secondary propositional contents of metaphorical sentences. In a study I ran involving 828 individual comparisons of 8 metaphor paraphrases and 8 literal sentence paraphrases, though subjects rated particular paraphrases much differently, the difference in adequacy between the average metaphor paraphrase score and the average literal paraphrase score was only .09 on a 7 point Likert scale (which was no where near significant.)
I'm posting a paper on this research, and, of course, I would love feedback from you guys. The experimental results are discussed in section 4, though important setup occurs throughout the paper, before that section.
Additionally, I'm posting a PowerPoint presentation on the paper, which I presented at the most recent SPP. The PowerPoint also includes audio of me presenting--so it will be just like you are there! However, the PowerPoint was designed on Office '07, so it may present problems for earlier editions (though I attempted to save it in a compatible format.)

Pride of Pinkerton's
The Lost Detective: Becoming Dashiell Hammett
By Nathan Ward
Bloomsbury 214pp £16.99 order from our bookshop
His 'jaw was long and bony, his chin a jutting v under the more flexible v of his mouth. His nostrils curved back to make another, smaller, v. His yellow-grey eyes were horizontal. The v motif was picked up again by thickish brows rising outward from twin creases above a hooked nose, and his pale brown hair grew down – from high flat temples – in a point on his forehead. He looked rather pleasantly like a blond satan.' Sound familiar? Sam Spade? Samuel D Hammett.
It's always an error, of course, to associate authors too closely with their characters, but some authors come much closer than others and positively dare us to make the association: everywhere you look in literature, it seems, there are writers challenging us to interrogate their alter egos, doppelgängers, self-portraits and sock puppets. Zuckerman, are you really Philip Roth? Birkin, are you Lawrence? Maggie Tulliver – is that you, George?

ClientEarth Reaction To IPPR Report
Alan Andrews, Lawyer for ClientEarth, has responded to the IPPR report into air pollution in the midst of ClientEarth's case against the government over air pollution.
Andrews stated:
"This report should send a clear message to the UK government that an ambitious and bold Clean Air Act is needed for the whole country. It should phase out diesel across the country and accelerate the shift to zero emission transport. This would help our cities clean up their air and achieve legal limits as soon as possible. The new government must now step up and deal with this public health crisis so that the whole country can breathe cleaner air."

Marabu's UV Primer for Glass Applications
Screen-printable primer designed to mimic metallic effects without the use of ceramic inks.
At the Glasstec 2014 exhibition in Dusseldorf last winter, Marabu (www.marabu-inks.com) introduced a screen-printable UV primer compatible with hot stamping, designed to create metallic effects on glass without the use of ceramic inks. Users print the design with Ultraglass UVGL primer, which also functions as a hot-stamping cliché. The foil adheres only to the area of the glass that was treated with the primer, producing high-gloss gold and silver effects at significantly less cost than conventional ceramic inks.
Marabu also added to its line of Marashield UV-CGL roller-coating products for glass. Previously available only in an opaque white, UV-CGL coatings are now offered in a wide range of standard and custom colors for full-coverage interior décor applications.

Antonio Conte insists he is "not afraid to face the difficulties" at Chelsea.
Chelsea, champions in Conte's first season as head coach, are nine points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City after eight games.
Three matches without a win - league losses to City and Crystal Palace, plus Wednesday's Champions League draw with Roma - have increased scrutiny on the Italian.
Conte, whose side performed above his own expectations in his first campaign, had predicted a challenging second season, and on Friday suggested he was something of a clairvoyant.
"I was a magician to anticipate it," said Conte, who was forced to dismiss rumoured unhappiness at his training methods ahead of Saturday's clash with Watford.
"But, for sure, I'm a person who is not afraid to face the difficulties."
The head coach insists Chelsea's training loads are "70 per cent less" than during last season's title-winning campaign, when the Blues were not in European action.
Conte says the proximity of matches renders the work which brought success last term "impossible".
"I don't know about this," the 48-year-old said, when asked about media speculation of disgruntlement.
"I have my methods. It's the same, like last season, when we won the league.
"Honestly I think we are working maybe 70 per cent less this season. Maybe for this reason we are having trouble.
"When you play every three days it's impossible to work on the tactical aspect and physical aspect.
"I think we are paying less attention in every detail."
Conte did not directly respond to questions on Chelsea's chances of retaining the title, saying the Blues must "look at ourselves".
"Now we are in October and we have to think about improving the present," he said.
"Don't find excuses. Tell always the truth. If you always tell the truth, you can't be afraid of anything."
The last time Chelsea lost three straight league games was autumn 2015 as Jose Mourinho's second spell as boss was unravelling before his departure that December.
Conte is aware of the precarious nature of management, not least at Chelsea, but says any discussions with the Blues hierarchy and owner Roman Abramovich must remain private.
He added: "If I feel the pressure? I think every coach, every manager has to feel the pressure.
"When I go to my house I'm happy because I know in every moment I put all myself in my job for this club, for the fans, for my players.
"If this is enough, it's OK. If it's not enough..."
Conte then shrugged.
He has pointed to problems with injuries and has "many doubts" for the Watford contest, the latest being David Luiz (calf) and Tiemoue Bakayoko (groin).
Conte on Wednesday responded to Mourinho's thinly veiled barb about rival bosses "crying" about injuries, telling the Manchester United boss to concentrate on his own side.
Asked about Mourinho on Friday, Conte, while making a prodding gesture, said: "You are here today to try to (prod)...
"For me this is a stupid subject. It's fun to see your (the media's) interest in this."

Not that you care much, but for those who were interested in seeing the finished product of my fancy yarn + mock cables combo, I finished these socks this weekend:
I kept them to the ankle because I was worried about running out of said fancy yarn. I had lots left over but not enough to do two full-length socks.
I also started a new challenge for myself. This is the year of goals for me. Last year it was "learn to knit" and "learn to knit socks" - this year it's "knit at least 14 pairs of socks," "learn to knit cables," and "learn to knit with different colors in the same work."
I have a ways to go on the cables but I think these socks helped me learn a lot about how to make continuous cables and be able to read your knitting (you can't really tell in this picture, but there are a lot of places where I cabled the wrong stitch, etc. - it does actually show in the work).
But instead of doing more cables, I cast on a pair of socks that uses two colors last night. Colorwork goes FAST, mostly because you're knitting every stitch, even if just with a different color. This is where I am so far (sorry, a little blurry):
The stripes are in alternating colors so I'm just carrying the stripe I'm not working on up the back. The little design there is done with stranded knitting, which is interesting to do and I think I did OK for my first try on keeping the yarn carried across the rows that I wasn't knitting with suitably loose but not too loose. Here's a shot of the inside:
This pair of socks will be #7 of my 14 pairs goal. I have another pair that I have to finish (the one my cats destroyed the needles on), which will probably be done in April (whenever I finish this pair - I got new needles but decided to cast on something new rather than finish off that pair), and then I'll be looking for fun new things to do!

An overpayment reserve is what you create when you overpay your mortgage and it can be used primarily to reduce the amount of interest you pay on your balance although you can also use it for other benefits depending on your mortgage deal.
You can find out if/how much you can overpay and if there are any limits by looking at your original mortgage offer paperwork or log on to the Internet Bank.
When you overpay your mortgage it goes into an 'overpayment reserve'
This allows you to do a number of things, depending on when you took out your current mortgage deal.
You could:
These links will give you more information to help you make the right decision for you.
You may be charged an Early Repayment Charge for making overpayments. This depends on your mortgage – We encourage you to check your original mortgage illustration and your offer for your specific product terms. Overpayment information including your Overpayment Allowance can be found in section 11.
The overpayment reserve is also used in our calculations for working out your Loan To Value (LTV) when you're switching to a new mortgage deal.
For example:
The mortgage balance on your account says £50,000, but because that includes an overpayment reserve of £10,000, we recognise your balance to be £60,000.
We do this because we could allow you to underpay or borrow back by the £10,000 you've overpaid at anytime (depending on your mortgage deal T&Cs).
It could do as our mortgage rates are in bands depending on your Loan To Value (LTV), so by us including the overpayment reserve, you could go into a higher band mortgage rate offer than you were expecting. However, you can give up some or all of your right to underpay or borrow back with the reserve money and we will use your now reduced balance to calculate you LTV band - potentially taking you into a lower band rate. If you wish to do this you'll need to call us on 0800 30 20 11 or go into your local branch
It is the percentage of borrowing you take out against your home. For example, if you have a mortgage of £150,000 and your home is worth £200,000, you have a Loan to Value (LTV) of 75%.

Dental Emergencies in Milwaukee, WI
Dental emergencies can happen at any time. That is why we focus on prevention at our West Allis dental office. In spite of all of the planning in the world, we know that unexpected dental problems arise. We want you to know that we are here for you in the event of an emergency.
When is it a Dental Emergency?
If you have an accident that involves hitting your head, dizziness, or uncontrolled bleeding, you should call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. You may have injuries that require more immediate attention than your teeth. We will be here for you once we make sure that nothing more serious is happening.
Otherwise, you should call us right away if you are experiencing dental pain or if you have lost a restoration. The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can take care of you and help you feel comfortable again.
Common Dental Emergencies
Some of the most common dental emergencies include:
- Fractured teeth
- Sore gums
- Lost tooth
- Broken or lost restoration
- Infection
- Abscess
- Extreme sensitivity
- Pain
If you experience any of these symptoms do not hesitate to give us a call. We can ask you the proper questions in order to determine the next step. For most dental emergencies, an office visit is required. If you call during business hours, we will do our best to see you on the same day.
Dr. Roberto Monteagudo understands that dental emergencies can be stressful, frightening, and inconvenient. Our team is compassionate and warm. We will never make you feel guilty for having an emergency. We just want to help you feel better!
Your Emergency Appointment
When you call our office, it is important that you share as much information as you can about the nature of your dental emergency. We will ask you questions that will help us prepare for your arrival and be able to treat you efficiently. If you lost a restoration, such as a dental crown, please bring it with you to your appointment. In some cases, we can reattach it. If you have a partial denture or complete denture, it is important that you bring those, as well.
Once you arrive at our office, Dr. Monteagudo will evaluate your condition and we will take a digital x-ray of the area to determine the cause of your emergency. If possible, we will treat your condition immediately. In the event that we need to reschedule you for treatment on another day, we will at least help you feel comfortable and provide you with a temporary solution until a permanent one can be arranged.
Are You Experiencing Pain?
Dental emergencies rarely resolve on their own and in many cases, they get worse. Putting off treatment for too long can cause more extensive problems and puts your teeth at risk. Call us right away. Our entire team at WisconsinSmiles is committed to helping you feel like yourself again.
