Whether you just moved to The City of Brotherly Love or you've lived here for years, finding the best dentist is important. After all, the health and appearance of your smile plays a huge role in your self-confidence and wellbeing. You can't afford to put your trust in just any cosmetic dentist. So, whether you are looking for tooth whitening, dental implants, porcelain veneers, a simple smile makeover or a full mouth reconstruction, how do you choose the best dental care provider?
Here are five key criteria to help you choose the best dentist:
Education — Make sure the dentist you choose:
was educated and trained at a top dental school
keeps up with continuing education programs
has advanced training in specialty care (e.g. is a periodontist and/or prosthodontist)
has a long-standing dental practice
is a dental school professor
is familiar with the latest industry knowledge and trainings
Emergency Preparedness — Your dentist should be ready to handle any dental care emergencies you may have. That means being prepared with a comprehensive plan of action for treating you in the event of a dental crisis.
Friendliness/Customer Service — The best dentist's staff should be friendly, making you feel welcome from the moment you step into the reception area. No one wants to deal with a rude office staff…it sets the tone for your entire visit. Make sure you trust the dental staff to meet your expectations.
Reviews/Recognitions — Do some research into what others have said about the dentist you are considering. Take a look at local professional or business organizations' reviews. See if the media has recognized the dentist in local publications like Philadelphia Magazine's Top Dentist List.
Rapport — This last criteria is hard to quantify but may be the most important of all. Make sure you have confidence in the dentist, especially if you want him caring for your teeth for years to come.
Looking for the best dentist in Philadelphia or Paoli, PA? Look no further. Amsterdam Dental Group is the region's premier dental practice.

text: Your property corners are typically metal pipes, rods, or rebar. A metal locator is the best option to find your corners. There are many types of metal locators and they are not all created equal, so it may be difficult for the untrained to actually find a corner. Also sometimes a corner has metal obstructions around it that limit the use of the locator. If you find the corner it may or may not be in the correct position. It is not uncommon that the corners are in the wrong place. Someone may have accidentally hit it during excavation and just put it back in the ground "about" where they thought it was. Or maybe someone just plain moved it to where they thought it should be. If you hire a Professional Land Surveyor to find your corners they will verify that it is in the correct position.

Third-Year Archaeology and Heritage Studies
St. Catharines, ON
Hello future Golden Hawks, my name is Heather and I am currently in my third year of Archaeology and Heritage Studies with an Option in Geomatics.
I am originally from St. Catharines, Ontario, but now I call Laurier my home. I was first intrigued by Laurier because of the amazing archaeology program that is offered. After coming here for a tour and seeing the campus, I knew this was the right school for me. I came from a small high school and wanted to maintain the close-knit community feeling while in another city.
Being in a small program, with extremely small class sizes, has been a great asset towards my education. All of the professors knew me by name after my first year, and have made me feel welcome to the community. They all have diverse research backgrounds, allowing me to explore different aspects in my field of study that I did not know existed. There are opportunities to volunteer in different types of archaeology labs, and attend field schools abroad.
There are so many opportunities to get involved at Laurier. I have met many lifelong friends by being part of extracurricular activities. It is easy to get involved no matter what your interests are. We even have a club dedicated to grilling meat. In my first year I was in my residence's House Council and Archaeology Society.
Good luck on your university decision-making, I hope to see you around campus!

Powered by Amaya Gaming, Victory Ridge is a 5-reel Internet casino slot with 20 paylines and featuring a war-themed storyline, specifically reminiscent of World War II and also its glory.
Victory Ridge the slot comes complete with Armored Vehicles, Sand Bags, Helmets, Grenades, Medals, and First Aid Kits as the games symbols. Special symbols include Bombers, Tanks, and Gunships.
If you have any issue with this game please write us to email@example.com.
Please be as much descriptive as possible and include details such as Browser type (Chrome, Firefox, ...), screen resolution, your country, etc.
The Tank icon is wild in the Victory Ridge slot game, so it substitutes for all other symbols on the reels, apart from the Gunships and the Bombers, when needed to complete winning pays. Wild combo payouts are doubled whenever a Tank substitutes a lacking symbol to complete a combination. This game's standard jackpot pays on 5 Tanks on an active line. The top payout in Victory Ridge is 50,000 coins.
At least 3 Bomber icons scattered anywhere on the reels unlocks the Free Spins bonus. However, before free spins begin, players will be asked to choose 1 Bomber that will reveal the amount of free spins that have been won, which can be between 4 and 7 free spins. Next, the player will pick another Bomber to reveal a free spins multiplier worth between 3X and 6X. Free spins will then start and can be retriggered when 3 or more Bombers again stop on the reels during the bonus round, and the same number of spins and multiplier value as the original triggering event selections apply to retriggered free games.
Even with the lowest coin value set at 0.01, a fully wagered spin (activating every line), will cost 2.00 because bets per line are set to increase in increments of 20. Other coin value options include 0.05, 0.10, and 0.25, so if you like to play all the lines, your options are 2.00, 10.00, 20.00 or 50.00, which are pretty stiff limits that won't appeal to the masses.
Amaya might have a number of stinkers that they inherited from Chartwell, but Victory Ridge is undoubtedly one of the higher-quality games that was passed on to them. The animations get really classy when you get to the bonus round, and the wilds make for goodd pays during base play. Overall, this game is worth a try, especially if you're into WWII memoribilia. Another popular war slot is Tally Ho by RTG.

Story highlights
'It's not by force to get married, stay married, especially when you are with a degenerated monster in human form.'
More reactions continue to trail the death of Ronke Shonde, a young mother of two who was allegedly beaten to death by her husband in Lagos May 6, 2016.
First it was Joseph Yobo's wife, Adaeze who reacted HERE.
Now, songstress Waje has also spoken on the death of the young woman saying, 'it's not by force to get married or stay married'.
In her words, 'What prompts a man to beat a woman to death? His wife, someone he pledged to care for. Shame! shame! shame!. It's not by force to get married, stay married, especially when you are with a degenerated monster in human form.
'Please open your eyes and know who you are saying yes to ladies and gentlemen. God forbid! Picture perfect can mean #earlyjourneytothegrave #hellonearth #weneedmoreMEN! Too many old babies with anger issues! Society doesn't care about you so care about yourself'.

Across Canada, thousands of Indian residential school survivors shared their experiences with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. In collecting their statements, one primary question was heard more than any other: What will you do to ensure our history gets into the schools?
The response came in the form of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 Calls to Action. Many of the Calls to Action deal specifically with education reforms. In the words of Senator Murray Sinclair, education is what got us into this mess, and education is what will get us out of it.
Unfortunately, Doug Ford's provincial government appears to have other plans.
The Ministry of Education abruptly cut summer sessions to develop education curriculum on Indian residential schools set to begin this week. Educators and leaders from Nishnawbe Ask Nation, which represents 49 First Nation communities across Northern Ontario, were disheartened and frustrated that this important work was dropped just before it was set to begin.
Unfortunately, this is already the second step backward by the Ford government on our journey towards reconciliation in Ontario.
The Ford government signaled that improving relations with Indigenous peoples is not a priority when it stripped the former Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation of a dedicated minister. Responsibility for the newly named Ministry of Indigenous Affairs now rests with the minister also responsible for Energy, Northern Development and Mines.
Dropping "reconciliation" sends a very clear message that this government isn't interested in reconciling with Indigenous peoples. Progress is being made across Canada, and Ontario stands to be left behind.
We are seeing the beginnings of a national effort to tell the truth — to create equality and equity in the presentation of information to public servants, students and general Canadians:
- The Canadian Museum of History revised the History of Canada exhibit to include Indigenous experiences.
- The Royal Canadian Geographical Society released the Indigenous Peoples Atlas of Canada.
- The federal government held consultations with Indigenous peoples on reforming training for 250,000 federal public servants.
- An Indigenous Languages Act is just around the corner.
These efforts are preventative mechanisms to help avoid the terrible mistakes made in the past and still playing out today — fundamental human rights violations that have plagued this country since Confederation.
Reconciliation is not about forcing one set of world views onto non-Indigenous peoples, nor is it about replacing one form of oppressive and inaccurate education with another form of oppressive system.
Reconciliation is about coming together in the spirit of mutual exchange and dialogue — an exchange of ideas, values and beliefs that will help to provide answers to the question of where we all want to go as a society.
It is a tragedy that the new provincial government is not supporting this.
Failing to present the perspectives of Indigenous peoples to students within Ontario schools will directly impair reconciliation efforts. In the shadows of our failure to present accurate information, racism and prejudice will continue to fester. Our children deserve an accurate telling of Canadian history, and the efforts to date are simply not adequate.
This is not the country we want, or the country residential school survivors wanted to see. We want to see a just, fair and honest society where Indigenous Peoples can share our gifts and histories.
Multiple articles of United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples affirm that Indigenous peoples have a right to see their cultures, identities and histories reflected accurately within education systems and that states have a corresponding duty to reflect Indigenous perspectives within education systems.
By bringing the perspectives of Indigenous peoples into the classroom, students are presented with ideas that have existed on this land for millennia, in addition to the shocking truth about how this country has treated Indigenous people.
It's time to stop glossing over big aspects of our shared history and to start becoming more accurate, truthful and honest about the information we present to students.
In this time of reconciliation, this is hardly too much to ask.
Alvin Fiddler is grand chief of Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Ry Moran is director of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation.

Baby vs. Mummy! The Battle of Weaning
When I think of how excited I was to start my baby on solids, I should have known how short-lived that excitement would be. Whatever you hear about four months or six months being the ideal age for weaning, every baby is different and you must prepare yourself for one of the strongest battles you will ever have with your baby- food and all its matters.
Which brings me to mine (and at 20 plus months it's still in the active war stage). Someone told me that the biggest sign to indicate that my son was ready for something solid (other than milk) would be his interest and curiosity to eat whatever was in my plate. At his four months check - up he was on track (in weight and coordination) and seemed ready for the first big step into the 'food' world. But as a first time mom and well you know, just generally being a mom, I knew that we still needed to wait for some of those clues that he was ready.
While we waited, I talked to several friends and looked up similar questions on groups where opinions were very diverse on when exactly to start weaning. At the start of six months and quite suddenly one day when we had started dinner, my son began to make funny noises with his mouth (all while looking eagerly at my plate). I was ecstatic and immediately went on to elaborate (with the husband and my mom) how right I had been. So that night I decided that solids would begin the next day. The ideal first food suggested was rice but I chose to give him steamed apple puree instead. Everything was ready (including the camera) and that first spoon of special apple puree disappeared quite quickly while those little smacking lips demanded more. I was thrilled! Apple puree was on the menu for four days and by day three you could sense his irritation. The splatter of apple around was quite evident and the lip smacking sounds were replaced with cries of disapproval. I was also quite tired with all the dancing and singing that accompanied his meal. The apple puree was ditched and I moved on to carrot, sweet potato, banana and finally dal, rice and kichadi. I soon realised that babies, just like us prefer different tastes, variety, textures and flavors. So the apple puree was fine as long as it was a different preparation each time. I began experimenting with different options like cinnamon, to add flavor to the apples. Of course the battle had just begun and everyday had different outcomes. The delicious banana pudding was instantly rejected, the vegetable kichadi that I carefully prepared found its way to the floor and the orange juice, well it landed all over my t-shirt.
So although mealtimes are still a huge work in progress, I cannot say that my son is not a fussy eater. We have our good days and horrible days but some things I learnt along the way have definitely made things easier for me. Here are some things that worked well for me:
- Comfort food never fails! A trick I devised quite early in the weaning process was to use my son's love of his favorite food (in his case: yogurt) to tempt him to try something new. I would conceal new food with layers of yogurt and pretend that it was nothing but yogurt. It worked like a charm for a few months at least.
- Distraction works (singing, dancing, rhymes, birds and trees) but requires hours of patience and loads of energy. As soon as my son began enjoying finger foods, I used them to my advantage. I would place pieces of cucumber, carrot and potato in front of him while I quickly managed to feed him his meals. Of course it resulted in a huge mess but it sure made him feel happy to smash, and feel the food he ate.
- Force feeding is a big NO. There were days when he ate just a few spoonful's of the food in his plate. It was distressing and I felt like the worst mom but I never forced him to eat.
- Think of fun names for food. I quite accidentally found that my son was eager to try something new if I gave it a cool name and relished the dish in front of him. Soups, macaroni, egg white and veggies (like drumstick and lady's finger) were all passed off in this manner and it was nice to hear him ask for more.
- Finally, my closest friend and mother of four gave me the best advice possible. She advised me never to get my son used to pureed and blender mashed food (a huge fussy eater problem). I transitioned from blender to lightly mashed food and when I found my son could chew well I smashed his food quite lightly so that he could still feel the texture of rice, dal etc.
The weaning process will come with many hiccups, concerns, worries and questions but I have never heard of the perfect weaning experience. Just equip yourself with a huge list of tasty weaning recipes that have different tastes, flavors and textures, good glass (or silverware) and cartloads of patience. The battle will last for a while.
Do share your weaning stories with me moms and thank you for taking the time to read.

When you think about healthcare, you have probably heard of the scandals of healthcare companies cutting corners and reducing the quality of their care to save just a little bit of money in the long run. You might have heard of the VA Hospital in the US providing terrible care to patients because of budget constraints, or some of the hospitals located throughout the UK skipping out on meals. Thanks to people like Amanda Morgan-Taylor, however, the facilities that do this are being flushed out of the system, and new healthcare providers are only providing the highest quality care.
Regulations are important, and very few companies know that like Sussex Healthcare. To keep up with their quality, this facility has recently hired Amanda Morgan-Taylor to be their new Chief Executive Officer. Morgan-Taylor has over 30 years of experience in healthcare, and even though she started out in patient care as a mental health nurse, she quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the leading quality inspectors in the UK.

Everywhere she has worked, Morgan-Taylor has been very interested in ensuring all patients are receiving quality care. She worked as the Head of Audit at one of her employers, verifying that all regulations were being complied with. At another location, she was appointed as the Director of Quality Development, where she was tasked with creating new initiatives and programs for improving the care and the quality of life that patients were experiencing.
When Sussex Healthcare found out that Morgan-Taylor was on the open market, they asked if she wanted to join their team. Sussex also has a long history of quality. Started in 1985, they have been serving patients with quality end of life care for the past 30 years. They have even won awards for the quality of care they give, including the coveted Gold Standard Framework for End of Life Care. The main mission of Sussex Healthcare is to provide patients with a place to go to improve their quality of life in their final days. This system has 20 facilities throughout the UK with a total of over 600 beds. They continue to improve their service, and they have even built a brand new gym at one of their facilities to help patients exercise and go through physical therapy.
With Amanda Morgan-Taylor at the helm, Sussex Healthcare will continue to be a leading provider of quality care in the UK.

"I see the player piano as the grandfather of the computer, the ancestor of the entire nightmare we live in, the birth of the binary world where there is no option other than yes or no and where there is no refuge."
So wrote famed American novelist William Gaddis, whose interest in the antiquated machines began in the late 1940s, becoming the embodiment of the author's concerns over the increased mechanical reproduction of the arts that took place following World War II. It was an obsession that would eventually turn into his final posthumous work, Agapē Agape, originally meant to be a social history of the self-playing piano before an allegedly overwhelmed Gaddis converted it to fiction.
A mirrored struggle to Gaddis' could be imposed onto Pete Townshend's infamous unfinished early-70s rock opera Lifehouse, which stumbled in part because of the guitarist's obsession with the new VCS3 and ARP synthesizers, into which he envisioned feeding biographical data from audience members, which would culminate in a "universal chord."
But whether discussing Gaddis' reactionary fears (itself an ancestor to "Drum machines have no soul.") or Townshend's progressive ambitions (a musical "singularity" horizon) confronting technology has often been the downfall for otherwise great visionaries. Futurism might be a rich and varied concept that has given rise to many amazing works of music, from Sun Ra to Cybotron to Daft Punk. But the future itself? That's a much trickier proposition.
That is not to say that music driven by futurism can't itself manifest the future. It's hard to argue with Kraftwerk's robot aesthetic as a major leap for musickind, generating novel sounds, along with the new style that would embody "future" music from the 80s onward. The same could possibly be said for Richie Hawtin's 2001 DE9: Close To The Edit mix, which foretold the laptop-enabled deconstructionist mode of music playback that freed DJs from the shackles of arrangement within songs, and has now been manifest in a million control triggers seen throughout all styles of electronic music.
Of course, these innovations did not exist in a vacuum, but they are clear mile-markers in the rear view mirror of musical development—ones that took control of the means of production (instrument construction and software programming, respectively), as well as the artistic product itself. Inventing new tools to make futuristic art that becomes the future of said art.
The natural assumption seems to be that we are due for another move forward, and soon. For all of it's growth in cultural cache, even after surviving a post-Millennial push towards the retro, electronic music, as an arbiter of the hi-tech, seems stuck in a rut.
This is in no way to say that individuals aren't creating exciting, fulfilling and inventive music. That is a debate that no side can possibly win, and arguing the macro-view with micro examples is inherently futile. But as a recent essay by Adam Harper entitled "Sci-Fi, Hi-Tech, Future?" revealed, even the cutting edge sounds a bit dull, especially when compared to what Afrika Bambaataa's 808 must have sounded like the first time it was played in the Bronx.
So which way forward? As was pointed out at the start of this article, searching for such enlightenment has stunted far more philosophically sophisticated men. However, that doesn't mean we can't have fun pondering some possibilities.
One of interest might be gleaned from Squarepusher's recent foray into robotic playback on last month's Music For Robots EP. Working with the Japanese Z-Machines robot band, the always-adventurous producer composed music specifically designed to be physically played back by the machines. The possibilities were, of course, much broader than one could compose for human musicians and their limited mechanics (what drummer has 22 arms?). But it was also limited, as the artist himself pointed out, saying:
"Each of the robotic devices involved in the performance of this music has its own specification which permits certain possibilities and excludes others – the robot guitar player for example can play much faster than a human ever could, but there is no amplitude control. In the same way that you do when you write music for a human performer, these attributes have to be borne in mind – and a particular range of musical possibilities corresponds to those attributes. Consequently, in this project familiar instruments are used in ways which till now have been impossible."
Ultimately, music might step forward by bringing back the physical mechanics of sound generation, a concept almost completely set aside since music-making machines began going straight to tape, and are now completely internalized on hard drives. We're taking more than live drummers on dance records or gimmicky robot players. Recent innovations in prosthetics might point to a time when humans can translate motor-signals from the brain to physical gestures of incredible dexterity, far beyond what our mere muscles and bones can achieve.
In the other direction, developments in AI are rapidly approaching the point where machines will start making music themselves, without specified input from a human operator. In an interview for The Quietus last week, experimental electronic musician Holly Herndon postulated of a future where machines make music not for humans at all.
"There's a physical reason for the consonant sound of most human music, relating to the overtone series and the functioning of the ear. So if it's no longer a human-centered universe, then I could see it getting quite dissonant for human ears and maybe extremely rhythmically complex. Maybe we're still stuck to the bpm of our pregnant mothers' heartbeat. Maybe it would be in tune with the 50 hertz hum of electricity."
Her concept is utterly fantastical, and highly unlikely. But someone between Gaddi's player piano paranoia and Herndon's Matrix-esque predictions, the future of music is out there.

What can Marketers learn from The Boss?
For the first time I witnessed the sensational Bruce Springsteen (The Boss) in Sydney this week. To say that he left the audience in thunderous raptures is an understatement. His Wrecking Ball tour performance in Sydney was an absolute cracker. I have not been a big fan of The Boss but what I witnessed was good enough to convert even the greatest sceptic. As much as I know this was an extraordinary display of musical talent, it was also about marketing and delivering the Springsteen brand.
So, let me draw some parallels between Brand Marketing and Bruce Springsteen. Firstly The Boss delivered way beyond any expectation (I can testify to this as I was there). He delivered more entertainment than what he charged for (by many other concert standards). He went far beyond the notion of value for money. He had the most astounding emotional connection with his audience (his on stage persona had to be seen to be believed). And last but not least, he had oodles of passion for what he did and he demonstrated that in no small measure.
Bruce Springsteen transcended the boundaries of age, race, gender, and culture. And he knew his audience intimately. He demonstrated the principles of Brand Marketing very well. Firstly, He packaged the Marketing mix elements of this experience brilliantly. In connecting with the audience in a very intimate manner, he displayed emotive Branding at work. Consumers connect with brands at both a rational and an emotional level. While rational aspects of a brand are largely tied to tangible benefits of the brand, emotional aspects are tied to the non-tangible benefits. In forming Brand Attitudes, consumers are sub-consciously drawn to these emotional aspects of a brand. These emotive aspects form the backbone of the brand (attitude) and are largely influenced by 2 main pillars of branding.
1) Brand Platform – This incorporates the Brand Values (Innovation that matters, Dedication to every clients success, Trust & responsibility – IBM), Brand Promise (The ultimate driving machine – BMW), Brand ambition (We will be recognized as the brand that makes personal contact the most important element in mobile communications – Ericsson), and Brand Personality (Creative, Innovative – Apple, Outlaw – Harley Davidson). A clear single minded articulation and delivery of these brand platform elements are quintessential to brand success.
2) Brand Beliefs – Brand beliefs are shaped by positive Brand Attributes. For those who are academically inclined this can be expressed as a formulae (Ao=∑biei). The theory of Reasoned Action (Fishbein & Ajzen) suggests that beliefs are combined additively to form attitudes. The greater the number of favourable beliefs one holds, the more favourable ones attitude towards the brand. As organizations seek to exceed in their delivery of product/service attributes so can they expect an increase in the brand beliefs.
In keeping with good branding principles as mentioned above, over the past 40 years Bruce Springsteen has endured time, remained vibrant, energetic, and relevant, and re-launched himself in order to keep his personal brand on top of his fans hearts and minds worldwide.
Good Article and very inspiring! Wish I was there to witness the Springsteen magic!

Ten Questions for 2009, Part 3
Thanks for joining as I blog through Don Whitney's Ten Questions for the New Year. For previous posts in the series click here: Part 1, Part 2
6. What is the most helpful new way you could strengthen your church?
I actually am not quite sure of the answer to this one. I need to have a good, thoughtful discussion with our senior pastor before I can give a good answer. There are several areas in which our church is in great need of strengthening, and I'm not sure which one is the most urgent and important – they all seem urgent and important!
Our people need to learn to spend significant time in the Word and in prayer. They need to learn to commit themselves to faithful church attendance and service. They need to learn what it means to live lives of holiness. They need to learn to be strong witnesses in our community. All of these things are very basic to what it means to live a "Christian" life. That makes it very difficult to pick just one!
7. For whose salvation will you pray most fervently this year?
As far as our Deaf people go, I'm going to keep this one to myself. Beyond this, I have determined to pray for the salvation of my co-workers and employees at work. I will pray that God will bring me and other believers at work opportunities to speak the Gospel into their lives; that he will place people in their lives outside of work that will share the truth with them; and that he will bring those of them that he has appointed to eternal life to himself that he might be glorified in them. Our company is a great, great place to work; it is also a vast untapped mission field. I want God to be glorified at UPS not only through the work and character of believers there, but through the witness of the truth we share through that work, character, and words.
I could go ahead and give a couple more questions, but this is a weird day, so I will stop here. Next time we will look at questions 8 and 9.

Prenatal Care in Kenya has been given the importance it deserves in rural Kenya. As a result there has been unnecessary birth related deaths as an outcome in Kenyan hospitals especially those run by the government.
Prenatal care is the care you get during your pregnancy in Kenya. It should be started as early as in the first trimester and should be regular all through the third trimester.
There are Two Main Stages of Prenatal Care in Kenya
Pregnancy and prenatal care should not be separated, they go hand in hand. These are all important for any healthy pregnancy to progress.
- Your Medical History
The obstetrician checks on the following so as to determine whether the pregnancy is okay.
- Menstrual cycle- this helps in establishing your due date 'expected date of delivery'
- Past pregnancies- to establish your capability of carrying a pregnancy to term
- Check for any allergies during prenatal care in Kenya
- Medical conditions- this are mainly asthma, heart related problems, kidney and any other
- Family history- any cases of congenital abnormalities, twins and other genetic acquired syndromes.
- Abortion- prenatal care in Kenya is a problem especially because abortion is illegal in Kenya. Be honest with your obstetrician because you are protecting another life. Unsafe abortions could interfere with your uterus.
- Past drug abuse-drugs affect fetal development. Smoking is the leading factor for low birth weight. Start by letting go of the habit.
- Physical Exam
This is well done in most hospitals that offer prenatal care in Kenya. The following are a must
- Your weight, height and blood pressure.
- Your vagina and cervix maybe examined for any abnormalities. A Pap smear test can be requested to check for cervical cancer. The change in the size of the cervix and uterus helps confirm the stage of your pregnancy.
- Lab Test
Many Kenyan hospitals are well equipped to offer the best prenatal care in Kenya. The required tests for a healthy pregnancy are
- Blood-blood type and the Rhesus factor.
- HIV test in Kenya for pregnant mothers is mandatory. This will help you especially if you are positive to start Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission program. You should get tested for STI's also.
- A test on your urine is also carried out to establish if you have kidney or bladder infections as these are not good for fetal development.
Sage Two of Prenatal Care in Kenya
Prenatal health care should be regular. A minimum of four healthcare visits are required in Kenya before the delivery of your baby. Though this stage is shorter, it's equally important.
It mainly involves advice and a few check ups
- Lifestyle Issues
You will be advised on nutrition and healthy weight gain. Appropriate exercise like swimming and brisk walking will be recommended for you.
Vitamin supplements, folic acid and proper hydration of 6 to 8 glasses of water per day will be recommended.
Screening for any fetal abnormalities will also be advised.
- Other tests done in Prenatal care in Kenya include:-
- Check on baby growth
- Check if your blood pressure is normal.
- Check if your weight gain is normal.
- Check if your baby's heart beat is okay.
Prenatal Care in Kenya Determines Birth Rate
Prenatal care is vital for all mothers to be. A healthy pregnancy ensures the safety of the mother and child so think about it. Prenatal Health Care in Kenya can be achieved through lobbying and sensitization.

I took a gamble on this computer and I am glad that I did. It has a ton of features for the price and being wireless there is much less clutter. The setup was very easy and the odometer is accurate within 1 or 2 100ths of a mile. The display is great and displays current time, temp, speed, ride time and distance all at the same time. So far I am very happy with it.

- 2 cups heavy cream
- butter
- 8 oz. of your favorite pasta - cooked, drained
Toppings of your choice
- ♦ Ice cream, fresh berries, sliced peaches, hot fudge and caramel- tuck it under any Sundae. Add sliced almonds or toasted nuts, use in place of shortcake, makes a nice base for Bananas Foster.
- ♦ Slice cake into slices as thick as you'd like. Butter both sides generously.
- ♦ Fry stove-top over medium heat until lightly browned and crispy on the edges, 1-2 minutes per side. Or bake at 350 degrees 5-6 minutes per side. You can also broil or grill them. Any way you 'slice it', the sugar in the cake caramelizes and the butter browns …the flavor is so good.
- ♦ Serve Grilled Pound Cake slices warm, topped with your favorite chilled, sweetened fruit, warm fruit compote or ice cream and toppings.
Terri's Notes
~ Toast cubes of pound cake on a sheet pan in the oven before adding them to your favorite Trifle.
~ Pound cake freezes well and thaws quickly to slice. Keep a loaf in the freezer for a quick dessert next time friends stop by.

I've had no time for blogging recently as I've been far too busy sewing. I've been working away on cabaret belts for my troupe, in an attempt to tempt them over to the sparkly side, and i've also restarted my long-abandoned peacock bedlah by abandoning all the laboriously sewn appliques i made and doing new ones. They look so much better that it's worth the extra effort!
I picked up a copy of Bead & Sequin Embroidery, and have been learning and applying loads of new techniques. I'm also having a torrid love affair with sew on crystals!
This morning I went out for my usual trawl around the local charity shops while my husband was doing something tedious involving banking. My usual approach is to just home in on whatever looks pretty. If it fits, it joins the wardrobe. If it doesn't, it gets examined for costuming potential. You may imagine my delight when I found this dress, which ticked both boxes!
It's ankle-length gold glitterdot, and fits to a T, and has a drape at the neck (not seen in the pic) that has 'headband' written all over it. Best of all, it was only £5! I'm not sure quite what to do with it yet- finding baladi dresses in my size is a struggle, so I'll definitely keep it as a dress, but I want to add slits up the side, and either lower the neckline or turn it into an underbust.

NEAT! LOVE that dress! What books would you recommend for a brand new beginner to costuming?ReplyDelete
Honestly RetroKali, I've never bought a book on costuming! I've heard good things about the Costume Goddess whose books are on Amazon, and the sequin emboridery book mentioned above is teaching me loads, but I mainly picked up my knowledge on the internet.ReplyDelete
We're lucky in BD that there are so many DIYers, many of whom are willing to share their skills with interested parties. There are countless free tutorials on basic bra, belt, skirt and harem making, I just started with those and kept going, with a lot of trial and error!
Pretty, looks fab on you!ReplyDelete

Soy foods are rich in isoflavones, a major group of phytoestrogens that have been hypothesized to reduce the risk of breast cancer. To evaluate the association of soy food intake after diagnosis of breast cancer, with total mortality and cancer recurrence, 5033 surgically treated breast cancer patients were tracked for more than 3 years.
Soy food intake, as measured by either soy protein or soy isoflavone intake, was found to be inversely associated with mortality and recurrence. The researchers concluded that soy food consumption is significantly associated with decreased risk of death and recurrence of breast cancer. (more…)

The Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research is recruiting subjects with high blood pressure to participate in a clinical research study designed to evaluate the potential impact of chiropractic care on hypertension.
The Chiropractic for Hypertension in Patients (CHiP) study, a collaborative investigation involving the Palmer Center, Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami, Fla., and Trinity at Terrace Park Family Practice in Bettendorf, Iowa, is one of three research projects to emerge from a $2.8 million grant awarded to the Palmer Center in 2008 by the National Institutes of Health to create a multidisciplinary Developmental Center for Clinical and Translational Science in Chiropractic.

As I sit to write this verse,
I think of the blessing and the curse,
That we may climb this slippery slope,
Between rational thought and offering hope,
To make the care our patients receive,
Based on more than just what we "believe,"
To search for the best approach to care,
And all the decisions doctors/patients share, (more…)
Just ran across this posting from 12/22/2009. In light of all the fraud being found in articles published in refereed journals (see my posting tagged with "irresponsible reporting"), this may be good news for our patients! With so much of today's research being funded by the NIH, this change in policy would be a welcomed departure from their current policy of leaving the issue up to the funded institution. You can read more on this issue from The-Scientist.com's blog.

Fish in a Tank
Teach me half the gladness
The world should listen then – as I am listening now.
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
When I think of New York City cabs, I think of weaving in and out of traffic at high speeds, rushing through yellow lights, and swerving recklessly to avoid buses and bicycles. Not a day in the park and best avoided by pregnant women and the faint- hearted. When I think about Black cabs in London, I think of large, elegant vehicles, a uniquely London silhouette, and an experience that is worth every pound of my waitress/shop girl wages. They are like an oasis in a city which to the untrained eye makes no sense at all – no grid system here. London cabbies are expertly trained in getting from point A to point B in the most efficient way, with just a dose of history and good-natured humor thrown in. They spend years studying what is aptly named, "the knowledge" and many seem to be frustrated historians or thespians – or perhaps just the perfect combination of both.
I once had a cabbie tell me that Judy Garland and Elizabeth Taylor are the only two non-cabbies given the honor of being allowed in one of the many distinct green shed-like structures where cabbies can stop off for a cup of tea during the course of a long day's work driving around the city. I think they're called "cabmen shelters". You really wouldn't notice them unless someone points one out to you; often they're tucked amidst a bit of greenery on the corner of a square. Imagining Elizabeth Taylor requesting a cup of tea in a cabbie hut enroute to a suite at The Ritz is a bit of a stretch for me to believe, but then again, she did seem very down to earth. I'm not sure how much of what I hear in a London cab is actually true, but I know that I enjoy every minute of hearing it; it may stem back to the time when I first came to London as a little girl of seven and stepped into the cool, dark recesses of one for the first time.
I remember my parents, brother, sister, grandmother and I watching the changing of the guards outside of Buckingham Palace and the band, as if on cue, was playing "If You're Irish Come into the Parlor", to everyone's delight. We had just traveled for five days aboard the elegant ocean liner the S.S. United States, then the fastest ship on the seas, to bring my grandmother back for a visit to family and friends in her native Ireland following the death of my grandfather. We had stopped in London for a few days of sightseeing before continuing on. Not altogether unexpectedly, it began to rain. My father put out his arm to hail a cab and my love affair began. The roomy, comfortable interior was a welcome relief from the heat, and all the walking we had been doing, on that steamy, rainy July morning.
"Mornin' Sir, where to?" asked our driver.
"Well, how long do you have to drive us around?" asked my father, obviously looking over at three small, tired children, an elderly parent, a weary wife, the persistent rain and hoping for a bit of a reprieve.
"Well, that depends on how long the good Lord intends for me to 'ave dunnit?", he said with a smile. "As far as I know, I 'ave all of today, tomorrow and many a day beyond."
And so, Mr. Ringold became our tour guide for the next two days of our stay in London. He drove us all around the sites of the city that day, picked us up outside the Hilton Hotel on Hyde Park the next day, and entertained us with stories and history and suggestions for places to eat. But for all his knowledge, charm and dedication to his job, what sealed my respect for him, and by association all drivers since, was his unique ability to read his audience and to respond accordingly to their needs. For my sister, being quite a bit younger than me, was not too enthralled with all the sightseeing that was going on and began to get a bit cranky, making for a less than pleasant ride for all of us. That's when the long hours of training and natural intuitive nature of someone used to interacting with all kinds of people kicked in.
"See that light on the side of the seat back there?" said Mr. Ringold to my sister, pointing to the standard interior light in the back seat. "Well, that's my naughty girl light, 'idinit', and you don't want to know what 'appens if I need to turn it on".
My sister never made a peep for the rest of the trip for fear of triggering the "naughty girl light" and I was impressed. Ever since, climbing into the back of a beautiful black cab, I am certain that I'll enjoy the ride. I can honestly say that I love London cabs and the extremely well educated, resourceful and entertaining cabbies who drive them. Whenever I can, I splurge on one. Tonight, is one of those times.
I'm feeling rather 'flush' having just had a generous evening crowd at Brescia and decide to hail a cab for home instead of heading for the tube station. I settle happily in to the vast back of the impeccably kept cab and the driver pulls his glass window across to ask me where I'm going. As I give him my address, he says "So, you're a fish".
Now I have been called many things, but never a fish – a crab, yes, on many occasions – but never a fish. In my tired state, I'm sure that I've misheard him.
"Sorry, I thought you said that I'm a fish".
"I did. You're 'a fish in a tank', a Yank", he continues.
"Oh, I guess I am". And so begins my journey home and a half hour lesson on Cockney Rhyming Slang, the archaic yet charming language unique to a group of Londoners raised "within the sound of Bow Bells", or in the East End of the city.
Bow Bells, or more precisely, Mary-Le-Bow Church, is in East London, a colorful area of markets and shops which, now, is mostly commercial. I don't think many newborns are hearing those bells today as the area is no longer residential. However, at some time in the not too distant past, those whose fate of birth placed them in that vicinity of the East End qualified as an authentic Cockney. As with any dialect, part of the appeal to its speakers is the exclusive nature of it – saying something without an "outsider" knowing what is being said. It's like a secret code among a brotherhood (or sisterhood) who share some racial, ethnic, or, in this case, geographic similarity. To make the comprehension for those born outside the sound of the Bow Bells even more elusive, the rhyming is abbreviated, leaving the actual rhyming part out, as it was by my informative cabbie. I wasn't a "fish in a tank" for a Yank, I was merely a "fish".
"My father taught me the rhymes and 'is father before 'im", my driver explained. "I can speak in a string of rhymin' sentences and be perfectly understood by anyone in my family. For example, if I say "come in awf de frog an 'ave a cuppa rosie before you go to bo – why that just means "come in off the frog and toad – road- and 'ave a cup of Rosie Lee -tea -before you go to Bo Peeps-sleep. See 'ow that works?"
Not sure I actually see how that works, but completely charmed, I ask him for more examples and he obliges all the way to Fulham...(continued)
p.p.s. For the uninitiated in Cockney Rhyming Slang, the following may be of help:
Skin and Blister, sister
Rub-a-Dub-Dub, pub
Pig's ear, beer
Tom and Dick, sick
Cat and Mouse, house
Rosie Lee, tea
April Showers, flowers
Artful Dodger, lodger
Sausage and Mash, cash
Dickory Dock, clock
Elephant's Trunk, drunk
Boat Race, face
Bees and Honey, money
Fisherman's Daughter, water
Pleasure and Pain, rain
Auntie Ella, umbrella
Frog and Toad, road
China Plate, mate

Closed one chapter today–almost 17 years at my job in California. I threw away reams of paper including hand-written questionnaires for security positions from 25+years ago. Don't ask me why I kept some of that stuff until the very last hour–it seemed important for a long time.
I said "so long" to the wonderful team of people I worked with so closely. After quite a lot of change after I first arrived, our current team has been working together almost 5 years (some a little shorter, some much longer) and we had the place running like a well-oiled machine! I think I am still feeling connected to them, because it just doesn't feel like a big thing yet. Hard to believe I won't be back in a couple weeks, greeting everyone Monday mornings, looking forward to my delightfully quirky patients, sharing sushi or Thai food for lunch on Fridays, and generally having a good time.
It's much easier to believe I'll be back soon, and that this is not good-bye.
Next up: wardrobe re-do for Kenya. Skirts instead of pants, spray everything with permethrin, cotton instead of polyester or rayon, won't need jackets, coats or fleece. Oh, and getting just what I need, no more and no less, into the two suitcases.

A hyper-partisan anti-Trump organization that has been largely unknown until now is pushing for the removal of White house Spokesman Sean Spicer. This leftist group, currently masquerading as the "Ann Frank Center For Mutual Respect" and is making outrageous claims that Spicer made some ridiculous comments regarding Adolf Hitler and Syria.
This Fake News is being propagated largely by Steven Goldstein, the center's executive director, who demanded that the termination of Spicer should be carried out "at once."
The comment Goldstein is referring to was admonishing Syria on its use of Sarin gas that was taken out of context. He immediately apologized for any misconception his comment might have brought and said that "it was my blunder" for even opening himself up to the possibility of such an accusation.
From Breitbart:
"I think when you come to sarin gas, he was not using the gas on his own people the same way that Assad is doing," Spicer said when pressed by a reporter to clarify his remarks. Spicer said that Hitler "brought them into the Holocaust centers, I understand that."
Spicer later clarified his remarks in a statement: "In no way was I trying to lessen the horrendous nature of the Holocaust. I was trying to draw a distinction of the tactic of using airplanes to drop chemical weapons on population centers. Any attack on innocent people is reprehensible and inexcusable."
Spicer later took to CNN, saying, "I apologize." He added, "It was my blunder."
However, that didn't stop Goldstein of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect from slamming Spicer as lacking "the integrity to serve as White House press secretary," while demanding and that President Trump "must fire him at once."

[Nightcap jacket + Rebecca Taylor shorts + vintage squash blossom necklace + Sam Edelman booties.]
Oooff! Sorry dudes…
I can be a real downer when the mood calls for it. I scared you out of commenting! But if you'd had as much trouble sleeping as I have the last week—on top of making some big job decisions—you'd understand why I sort of got lost dans le metro for a bit. [Peep this old post w/ beautiful song for reference.]
For a couple of weeks now, my body wakes me up with a start at 4:45 am, and I lay there for an hour worrying over everything my brain can conjure up until 5:45, when Eli starts his harassment routine. I almost weep to the ceiling fan, begging him to stop meowing outside the door. As soon as that stops, an hour later, the upstairs neighbor starts to thump really, really loud bass to pump himself up for the workday. Earplugs don't filter this out. And it's right above my head. When he's out the door, my alarm goes off. At that point, my heart is thumping in my chest—I even got prescribed a beta blocker to help with this phenomenon. My ticker refuses to comply.
Starting the day with that level of anxiety makes the mere act of getting by and making decisions astronomical. So, apologies! We can talk about something more exciting today. Like poop, and rainbows.
Lizzie calls this my Elvira jacket! It's pretty intense. I hope to be squeezing flabby, oversized grandma arms into this when I'm 80; it's one of those garments you wish you never had to take off. I liked softening it up with the booties; I would have opted for a simple, caramel silk camisole, had I bought the one I obsessed over before it sold out last week.
I wore this to a completely phenomenal dinner out at Tastebuds with Lizzie; she's so good at taking me around to places in Richmond I'd never know about and getting my mind off of things.
Like the groovy art show where we spotted this, which I will allow you to caption at will:
["This rainbow looks like a nice place to poop!"]
Another week down. Almost. I join the world of the workforce again next week, and I'm as excited and relieved as I am anxious. Until then, pray to the sleep gods for me. Or better yet: one grey domestic house cat for rent. Has impressive vocal range; large, pincer-like whiskers; smells incredible, and eliminates need for alarm clock.
