ELH tried this matter in Bloomington before Arbitrator Falcioni on October 13, 2005 and November 14, 2005. The Arbitrator ruled in favor of the Respondent with respect to all issues in all cases. The Arbitrator refused to accept the Petitioner’s allegation that she suffered an accidental injuries arising out of and in the course of her employment. He further denied benefits on the basis of causal relationship. No benefits were awarded in any of the cases.
Through effective cross-examination of the Petitioner, Ed Hennessy established the specific time, place and occurrence of alleged accident. Then, with compelling security camera videotape and other information gathered by company investigators, proved conclusively that the alleged accident did not occur where, when and how the Petitioner said it did. The Arbitrator specifically found the Petitioner not to be credible at her testimony to be “completely controverted by the evidence in the record”.
Ed Hennessy tried this matter in 2007. Arbitrator Fratanni adopted his argument in all respects and denied compensation in its entirety. In her Order she concluded that the Petitioner failed to prove that she sustained accidental injuries which arose out of and in the course of her employment, that she further failed to prove that she gave Respondent timely notice and that she failed to prove that her condition of ill-being is causally related to any accidental injury allegedly sustained at work.
Tried in 2007; Arbitrator O’Malley incorporated all arguments asserted by Ed Hennessy in his decision. As proposed, the Arbitrator denied the petitioner’s claim for wage differential under Section 8(d)1, he denied more than 28 weeks of demanded TTD, he awarded medical as proposed (allowing credit for medical expenses paid by group insurance) and he denied the claim for penalties and fees.
Ed Hennessy successfully defended Petitioner’s claim for permanent total disability benefits and further limited Respondent’s liability for TTD and PPD benefits substantially. Established with videotape and testimonial evidence, that the Respondent offered a reasonable accommodation and that the Petitioner’s failure to comply with a bid process demonstrated the Petitioner’s lack of diligence in attempting a return to work.
Ed Hennessy tried this matter in Bloomington before Arbitrator Falcioni in June of 2004. The case involved an altercation between co-employees. At issue was whether the altercation had its origin in the work or the manner in which it was to be performed and whether the Petitioner could be characterized as the aggressor. Arbitrator Falcioni held the injury to be compensable and awarded permanency for a left ankle fracture and over $11,000.00 in medical expenses. The Respondent challenged the decision on review. Although the Commission affirmed Arbitrator’s findings as to accident, causal relationship and permanency, it remanded the matter to the Arbitrator for determination of whether the record would support the award for medical expenses. Respondent contended that the evidence offered by the Petitioner at trial was insufficient to establish medical expense liability pursuant to Section 8(a) on the basis of reasonableness, necessity or causal relationship. Ed Hennessy negotiated a compromise of the disputed sum in a settlement contract subsequent to the remand.
This individual underwent invasive surgery referable to the shoulder and to the lower spine in connection with injuries that he allegedly sustained on three different dates. Ed Hennessy tried and won this matter before Arbitrator Lee in August 2006 in defense of Petitioner’s allegation that he is permanently and totally disabled and in defense of the Petitioner’s demand for more than 2 1/2; years of accrued TTD benefits.
Ed Hennessy tried this matter before Arbitrator White in Urbana on February 16, 2005. Arbitrator White decided in favor for the Respondent, denying compensation on the basis that the Petitioner did not sustain an accident arising out of and in the course of her employment. Arbitrator White ruled that the Petitioner failed to trace her injury or condition to a definite time, place or cause. Further, no reliable medical evidence was offered to plausibly explain how any work she performed for the Respondent could have caused or aggravated her underlying herniated disc problem.
Arbitrator Lee heard this matter pursuant to Section 19(b) of the Act and limited his rulings to accident, causal relationship and award for TTD and medical. Arbitrator Lee ruled in favor of the Petitioner on issues of accident and causal relationship. Necessarily, he awarded TTD that accrued as well as medical expenses of $765.39. In awarding the benefits, the Arbitrator ignored evidence at the Petitioner had worked for three subsequent employers before proceeding with thumb surgery. The matter was resolved on a compromised basis contractorily after the Respondent elected not to pursue an appeal.
Ed Hennessy tried this matter before Arbitrator Lee on March 15, 2006. Arbitrator Lee adopted Respondent’s proposed decision in its entirety, awarding 30% loss of the right hand and acknowledging a credit owed to the Respondent in the amount of $9,328.52 for overpaid TTD. The Petitioner secured modification on appeal, but Respondent retained credit for over $5,000.00.
Petitioner’s attorney pressed for a Section 19(b) trial of this case before Arbitrator Lee on September 2, 2005. Although Arbitrator Lee ruled against the Respondent and additionally awarded penalties, Petitioner’s attorney committed many mistakes, one in particular potentially costing his client more than $22,000.00 in medical expenses. Of particular significance, Petitioner’s attorney failed to introduce evidence at the first Section 19(b) trial. Petitioner’s attorney attempted to offer the records in the second 19(b) trial, but the arbitrator sustained our objection on the basis of res judicata. Based upon that leverage, we were able to reach a reasonable settlement with Petitioner’s attorney, which did not include the awarded penalties.
The Petitioner in this case suffered from a congenital spine condition which caused her brain stem to slip into her neck. Despite evidence offered to the contrary, the Arbitrator found that the Petitioner’s job aggravated her underlying conditions resulting in significant permanency. The award though was kept in terms of permanency rather than permanent total disability as was included in the Petitioner’s prayer. The Respondent elected to pay the award and close the case. The Petitioner also chose not to appeal.
Highly favorable outcome in 2007, achieved largely from very careful factual investigation and the assembly of reliable witnesses. Petitioner reluctantly agreed on the date of trial to close the case pertaining to a van accident that the Respondent had denied based upon numerous inconsistencies.

Queen Bee Bingo rewards come strong and often on one of the best bingo sites with more than 300 slots. Find out the latest offer and what else is in store at Queen Bee Bingo.
This site was voted Bingo Site of the Month for October 2017. That's a just accolade and perhaps Queen Bee Bingo deserves a site of the year, but we'll leave that for the future as we are certain there will be more recognitions. The site offers more than 300 slots plus a dozen and a half bingo rooms.
The site runs on the Dragonfish platform which provides so many of the latest slots titles and specialty bingo rooms. Furthermore, the site has licenses to operate provided by the Gibraltar Gaming Commission and the United Kingdom Gaming Commission, so that is two seals of proof for the site's veracity and that it adheres to the rules and regulations of fairness. That said, this is a full bingo and slots site that provides the gaming entertainment that we know not only the big casinos are able to provide.
But before you embark on your bingo and slots adventure find out the latest Queen Bee Bingo rewards, including the welcome bonus, the free spins and more.
The current welcome packet for Queen Bee Bingo comes with up to £70 worth of bingo tickets plus 10 free spins for the slot Fluffy Favourites. The bingo rooms that are available with the offer are Big Bang with £40 of the funds and the Sreet Party room where you can play with the rest of the £30. All this is available when you make the minimum deposit of £10 or more.
Besides this offer, there are other Queen Bee Bingo rewards that come in the form of free spins, free bingo tickets, specialty bingo rooms on certain days and with exquisite jackpots and more. All of this is available without any wagering requirements because Queen Bee Bingo has not set any - so what you win is for you to keep.
Part of the Queen Bee Bingo experience are the bingo rooms that have both free tickets and big jackpots. The Kaching room can be visited for only £0.50 per ticket but it comes with a jackpot of £50 and can be played daily. The Last Call room is only one penny to play and has a jackpot of £100. The £600 Monday Chill room has a jackpot of that amount and only costs 5 pennies to play per ticket. As it is apparent, the Queen Bee Bingo rewards are in the availability of the bingo rooms too, not just in the free spins rewards.
You can start your adventure with the Queen Bee when you register with the minimum deposit. Even if you have had an account before, try to register again, you may be able to claim the offer, and if not, simply enjoy the Queen Bee Bingo rewards with your player’s account.

Don’t sweat the small stuff, we’re told. Personally, I’m a big fan of the small stuff. The little things that make a big difference. The little touches that show attention to detail, thoughtfulness and care.
When I was invited to Wyboston Lakes in Bedfordshire, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I’d heard the name, but despite it being located just outside the county, I never had a reason to go before. Now, I’ve got lots of reasons to go back, and it’s all because of those little things.
Let’s start with something big; the site. Set in 380 acres of countryside, the scale of the training and conference facilities took me by surprise. Two pretty lakes present an elegant backdrop to meals, and become part of the fun for team building activities. Large open areas offer plenty of space, while 406 bedrooms and 64 training rooms show Wyboston Lakes is serious about business.
The resort is family run and I came away with impression that all the staff I met enjoy being part of the team. Wyboston Lakes was ranked 28th in the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2017 and from the warm welcome, smiles and knowledgeable staff we met, it’s clear they’re proud of what the venue has to offer.
Lakes are split over two purpose built venues. The Executive Centre and Training Centre cater to different audiences, but both offer excellent facilities across a range of spaces, from 10 person meeting rooms through to training rooms and two large conference rooms that comfortably seat up to 270 people.
There’s attention to detail here. Thought is given to the flow of people, particularly important for exhibitions, but equally so for moving guests between training sessions, breakout areas and meals. Options are provided around visitor registration, signage is good and the layout provides a central reception area that is always easy to find. The venues offer a surprising amount of outdoor space with attractive courtyard gardens, most attached directly to rooms for easy access. Bedrooms, restaurants and bars on-site at each venue keep guests together and provide everything they need during their stay.
The investment in technology is clear and welcome. Presentation equipment is appropriate for each space, with ample connection options.
The Executive Centre’s centrepiece conference room offers the most gadgets, with touch screen controls, a logo lamp to project your branding, a subtle colour wash around the room and repeater screens to ensure every guest has a good view. A dedicated room for trainers with computers, printer and mini fridge is another nice touch.
The free Wi-Fi is exceptional, with high speeds and availability across the entire Wyboston Lakes site. The decision to offer internet without requiring a registration is refreshing and I hope other venues follow Wyboston Lakes’ lead here.
After all the hard work, it’s important to have a little fun. With large grounds and access to the lakes, the resort is ideal for corporate days and team building events. If you have your own event partner, Wyboston Lakes can provide the venue and facilities, or if you’re looking for ideas and an experience that’s ready to go, Ride Leisure has a permanent base on site from April to November.
From a purpose built complex on the grounds, Ride Leisure operates a wide range of activities over land and water from wake boarding to hovercrafts, quad bikes and off-roading 4x4s. If you’ve ever seen YouTube videos of people ‘flying’ with water jetpacks, you can try that here. And for those who enjoy Wipeout on TV, there’s a new floating obstacle course.
A good team building event combines fun with learning, and packages can be customised with up to 8 activities to suit your team and business goals. The venue has changing facilities, hot showers, a bar and restaurant, large marquee, plus indoor and outdoor seating areas for BBQs by the lake.
In addition to bedrooms at each of the conference venues, Wyboston Lakes Hotel has 103 newly refurbished rooms to accommodate guests including those enjoying the spa, restaurant and 18-hole golf course.
The rooms are attractive, comfortable and well sized, with big beds and plenty of little touches; USB charging points by the bedside, a wireless touch screen tablet for ordering treatments, room service and even watching Netflix in bed. A capsule coffee machine in the room was very welcome, as was the fresh milk delivered from reception. Luxury toiletries help make it special, while a laptop sized safe is something I wouldn’t have thought of but shows the attention to detail here.
The Y Spa managed to do what I thought was the impossible, it made me feel comfortable walking around in public in a dressing gown and slippers (credit to the team who were very welcoming). I have to admit, this was my first spa experience so there was a lot to take in. Our time was spent in the Thermal Spa, with experiences that were invigorating, relaxing and surprising in equal measure. With room names like Softy, Salty and Some Like it Hot, it was a journey of discovery. Many packages include food which was a relaxed buffet of hot and cold foods at The Fountains restaurant. My one regret of the visit was not sampling the selection of cheeses on offer here.
The outdoor hydrotherapy pool was a highlight, big bubbles, enjoyed by people drinking more bubbles, it felt opulent. To be relaxed to the point of snoozing, the worries of the world drifting away, I can see why people come back again and again. I’ll certainly be back, the soft lights, the variety of treatments, it’s all too tempting and an experience I’ll want to relive again and again.
After a G&T appetizer at the bar, we enjoyed a three course meal at the appropriately named Waterside Restaurant. Sporting an AA Rosette for Culinary Excellence, I had high expectations and wasn’t disappointed. A wood pigeon starter with duck leg bon bon, beetroot and candied almond was the standout dish. Everything was tasty, well presented and the service was excellent. At one point I had to stop myself stealing my husband’s mushy peas as he was close to causing a scene.
In summary, the small things matter. They’re the difference between good and great. Wyboston Lakes is a big site with a spa, hotel, training facilities, golf course, gym and even serviced offices. But more importantly, it’s a venue staffed by people who enjoy where they work, who put a lot of thought and care into the guest experience, and are happy to work with you to be flexible around your needs.
So, when will I next visit Wyboston Lakes? Will it be at a product launch or meeting in one of the conference rooms, perhaps a team away day? Maybe a meal and a spa break. I’m not sure, but I do know I will be back, and soon.
P.s. It will probably be the spa.

But more importantly , it ’s a venue staffed by people who enjoy where they work , who put a lot of thought and care into the guest experience , and are happy to work with you to be flexible around your needs .
 So , when will I next visit Wyboston Lakes ? Will it be at a product launch or meeting in one of the conference rooms , perhaps a team away day ? Maybe a meal and a spa break . I ’m not sure , but I do know I will be back , and soon .
 P.s . It will probably be the spa .

Imagine if I were to walk down the aisle of your church with a bag of M and Ms. Or if you prefer, Raisinets. Just like the sower in Jesus’ story, I throw the chocolate pellets out into the congregation. Some people would receive the treat eagerly. Others will let the candy just bounce right off of them.
Back in Bible times, farmers used to waste a lot of seed. It was called broadcast farming. Seed thrown everywhere, like M&Ms from a crazy preacher. I can’t begin to explain why they did it that way. I guess there are things that we do today that are just as crazy. Why do we watch hundreds of hours of TV for just a few moments of enjoyment? Why do we post hundreds of things to Facebook or Snap Chat or maintain a Twitter feed? It all seems pretty wasteful.
Is Jesus accusing God of being wasteful? I think this is one of the points of this story, God is not a fiscal conservative. He shares his wisdom into the world in a multitude of ways… but we are too busy answering our email to notice. He broadcasts his love day by day, but we are working too hard to notice. The Bible says, he sends rain upon the just and the unjust. In other words, he throws m&ms at people whom he knows will just let them bounce off. Why? Why does God allow himself to be rejected?
I like what Anne Dillard says about nature. She says, “Nature is, above all, profligate. Don't believe them when they tell you how economical and thrifty nature is… Extravagance! Nature will try anything once.” I was in Cleveland last month and the walls of every building were coated with mayflies. These little creatures that swarm up out of the lake and then die a few days later. Such wastefulness.

Tim Disney, entrepreneur and co-founder of independent film and documentary production company Uncommon Productions, has been appointed Chairman of CalArts' Board of Trustees.
Disney is great-nephew to Walt Disney and grandson to Roy O. Disney, the co-founders of CalArts. His father, Roy E. Disney, also served on CalArts' board and contributed to the construction of REDCAT. Tim Disney replaces Austin M. Beutner, who stepped down as board chair in August of this year to become CEO and publisher of the Los Angeles Times. Beutner remains a CalArts trustee.
Our faculty and alumni have transformed culture throughout the country and the world. I hope to help CalArts carry on the tradition of excellence, and to foster the spirit of experimentation and innovation that have made CalArts one of the country's truly great educational institutions.
"We are thrilled that Tim Disney has agreed to serve as Chair of CalArts Board of Trustees," says CalArts President Steven Lavine. "Tim grew up with, and is deeply committed to, the vision of CalArts as an interdisciplinary, technology-friendly college of the arts, focused on educating the gifted students who will shape the future of art and entertainment. Under his leadership, I am confident that we will carry on, where his predecessor as Board Chair left off, without missing a beat."

In this article I am going to talk about the RoundToggleButton and RoundButton controls from the Coding4fun Toolkit in details. I will explain everything about the main features, available public API, sample usage etc.
Basically RoundToggleButton is an UI component that derives from CheckBox and exposes ImagePath dependency property. As its name says it is some kind of extended toggle button with round shape and inverted image support.
Basically RoundButton is an UI component that derives from Button and also exposes ImagePath dependency property. As its name says it is some kind of extended button with round shape and inverted image support.
To begin using RoundToggleButton/RoundButton first add a reference to the Coding4Fun.Phone.Controls.dll assembly.
RoundToggleButton derives from CheckBox so it exposes all properties and methods of the CheckBox class plus one more : ImagePath.
RoundButton derives from Button so it exposes all properties and methods of the Button class plus one more : ImagePath.
This is a dependency property of type string. It gets or sets the Image of the RoundToggleButton / RoundButton controls.
This property comes from the parent class and is used to set the content of the Button.
NOTE: When adding icons to these buttons have in mind that it is preferable to have two opposite images: Normal and Inversed. Otherwise your icon may not be visible when pressing the button.
Check the MSDN documentation related to composite formatting for reference.
Now lets create a sample project, add reference to Coding4Fun.Phone.Controls.dll (as described above) and add several RoundButtons/RoundToggleButtons . I will also add some more "light" and "dark" icons.
For more icons take a look at UX section of our "WP7 Dev guide" we collect all resources related to the Windows Phone 7 development there.

Figolli are Maltese traditional sweets eaten in the Easter period. Since everyone asked for a healthy version on facebook, here is my alternative and guilt free figolli version. This recipe is gluten free, grain free and paleo.
Figolli are usually made of a sweet almond paste filling between a sweet pie crust. They are then covered with icing or chocolate. I used ground almonds for the pie crust instead of the conventional flour and sugar. I decided to use homemade apple sauce as a major ingredient in the filling and adding only a little more almonds in the filling. The result has a different and softer texture but it is very tasty and with a similar flavor to the well known figolli. Anyone who doesn’t like figolli because they are dry will love this recipe!
It is best to store these figolli inside refregirator. Enjoy and Happy Easter!
Start by making the apple sauce following instructions found here. Let cool.
To make pastry blend all dry ingredient together in the food processor.
Lightly whisk the pastry wet ingredients together and then mix into the dry ingredients until dough is formed.
Cover dough with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In the meantime prepare almond filling. Mix all ingredients together and simmer for about 12 minutes until thickened.
Take out the dough from fridge and divide into two parts. Take one part and place it between two baking sheets. Flatten with rolling pin. The sheets will prevent the dough from sticking to the rolling pin or work surface.
Cut out shapes by using an Easter cookie cutter. Remember that you need two cutouts for one figolla.
Use a flat spatula to transfer the pastry shape onto a lined baking tray.
Distribute some of the filling onto each shape leaving a 1cm margin from the edge.
Work out the second batch of shapes and using a flat spatula to transfer the cutouts over the filled bottoms pressing the edge together to seal well.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top turns light golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool in tray for 5/10 minutes until they are cool enough to handle. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. (Don’t leave them to cool in the baking tray as they will become soggy from the condensation formed).
To decorate, melt chocolate in a double broiler, cover figolli with chocolate and sprinkle over some chopped pistachio nuts or coconut.
Cover finished figolli with cling film and store in the refrigerator. This recipe makes 5 small sized figolli.
For the filling you mean you simmer the egg whites?

A significant part of why marine mammals have such an impressive ability to use their lung capacity is the unique way in which they utilize oxygen, as well as their greater tidal range. These qualities, enhanced by their anatomy, which has adapted perfectly to life in the ocean, are the key components for explaining how these magnificent animals are able to safely explore even the deepest reaches of the sea.
Most marine mammals are capable of holding their breath for long periods of time. Since feeding, mating and many other activities essential to the species’ survival normally happen below the surface, this skill becomes crucial. Sea lions and cetaceans normally take only one breath per surfacing, while seals and deeper diving cetaceans sometimes spend an extended period of time at the surface. Additionally, larger whales, such as the sperm whale and bottlenose whale are able to routinely travel from the surface down to great depths, sometimes diving as deep as 6,000 feet, and proving that their oxygen stores can withstand enormous pressures and showing a resilience seldom seen in the animal kingdom.
Most people focus immediately on the ability that marine mammals have to hold their breath for longer periods of time. Although this is the goal that they are reaching for, it is also the ultimate result of many intricate, complex processes having to do with the way these creatures use oxygen in the first place. First of all, it’s important to understand that, for each breath of air taken into their lungs, marine mammals – like all breathing creatures – only receive oxygen in proportion of about 1/4. These mammals can reduce the effect of nitrogen and ensure that their oxygen levels are used far more efficiently, also featuring larger oxygen stores that are significantly greater than in the case of humans.
Deep diving whales and seals have reinforced peripheral airways, allowing the lungs to collapse during deeper dives, preventing nitrogen from being absorbed to avoid high blood nitrogen levels. There is, of course, far more to diving deep than just holding your breath. Pressure can have a powerful effect on areas of the body filled with gas, such as the inner ear or the sinuses, just as much as on the lungs. Some types of cetaceans feature an extensive venous plexus, which reduces the air cavity in the inner ear, while sinuses are enhanced through a stronger vasculature that acts in a similar way to help the mammals adapt to greater pressure.
When compared to human lung capacity usage – which is generally limited to about 8-10% while resting and 15-17% when exercising – marine mammals use up a much vaster storage amount, while also actually having larger lung capacities and more resilient lungs, meant to withstand the crushing pressures of the ocean depths. While most phocids tend to exhale before diving (seals and delphinidae generally using less than 25% of their ability to store vital oxygen while diving), creatures like the sea otter are able to maintain 75% oxygen stores. The tidal volume of marine mammals is typically larger than 75%, due mainly to their lungs’ more flexible tissue composition, more cartilage in the ribs and much greater elasticity in the recoil of their lungs, diaphragm and chest cavity, when compared to terrestrial mammals.

Kristen Stewart is the Highest Paid Actress!
Kristen Stewart must be in cloud nine. After her continues movies success, award nominations, etc., Forbes reports now reveals that Kristen Steward is the highest paid actress in Hollywood.
22-year-old Kristen Stewart has made approximately $34.5 million from last year!
Who else brings in the big bucks? Cameron Diaz (17 years Stewart’s senior) came in second with $34 million skimmed off the earnings of “Bad Teacher,” “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and “The Green Hornet.” The margins grow from there, with Sandra Bullock making $25 million over the same time period.
Forbes is known for these lists, the most coveted of which is the Celebrity Hot 100 (unless if you’re a rapper, in which case your aim is simply the richest people list). Last year’s list of richest TV actresses revealed that Tina Fey and Eva Longoria brought in $13 million each. The richest actor during the same period was Leonardo DiCaprio who brought in an eye-popping $72 million. That year, Sarah Jessica Parker and Angelina Jolie each dialed up $30 million.
For more — including the seven-next richest actresses in the business — head over to Forbes.

thrift Originally the RPC communication framework used by Facebook, it was later contributed to the Apache foundation, which came out earlier, almost supported all the back-end languages, and was very widely used as an unknown network framework.
Like grpc, you need to define communication protocols first and then implement your business logic.
The following methods are introduced.
Note: the repository time is 2017.7 at that time, so context was not supported at that time.
As for the usage of thrift, you can use thrift -help to view help.
The following command will generate the gen-go folder, which translates the above protocol into golang code.
Among them, echo.go is the type and method definition generated, and echo-remote is the client sample code.
The following is a simple example of its use.
message from client: You are welcome.
Note: the protocol used by the server and the client must be the same, for example, the transport factory is buffer transport factroy, and protocol factory is compaCT protcol.

It’s amazing how much faster time passes for kids than for adults. Somehow, when kids are asked to wait five minutes they think it’s been five minutes after only one. On the other hand, if they’re told that they can do something for just 10 more minutes, they’ll insist it’s only been five.
When it comes to keeping teeth healthy, it’s important that we spend enough time covering every tooth surface and getting into every crevice to brush away the icky germs and bacteria that help form cavities. Dentists recommend brushing teeth for 60 seconds or longer, so for kids who have, let’s say…a poor sense of time, it’s not always guaranteed that they’ll brush as long as they should. The new Gum Crayola Timer Light Toothbrush has a creative way to let the kids know how long they’re supposed to brush.
The GUM Crayola Timer Light Toothbrush has a smaller, tapered brush head so it will be more comfortable and will fit into the kids’ smaller mouths, especially kids between 4-11 years old. (The picture shows a side by side of the Crayola toothbrush head on the right next to a larger toothbrush.) The bristles are brightly colored green, blue, and yellow Dome Trim bristles, which helps remove plaque. They are also soft bristles so that they’re gentle on the gums and teeth (just in case the kids brush too hard.
One feature I absolutely love is the rubbery, suction cup base. It allows you to stick the toothbrush to the counter, so it’s standing up vertically. Not only does this help keep the counter clear, but it also keeps the bristles in the air so they don’t pick up other dirty stuff (like soapy water from washing hands.) This feature is so cool, I don’t understand why every single toothbrush – including ones for adults – doesn’t have a suction cup on the end.

GUM® Sesame Street™ Power Toothbrush is another product they have that I think would go over well.
The Critters toothbrush is adorable.

It ’s amazing how much faster time passes for kids than for adults . Somehow , when kids are asked to wait five minutes they think it ’s been five minutes after only one . On the other hand , if they ’re told that they can do something for just 10 more minutes , they ’ll insist it ’s only been five .
 When it comes to keeping teeth healthy , it ’s important that we spend enough time covering every tooth surface and getting into every crevice to brush away the icky germs and bacteria that help form cavities . Dentists recommend brushing teeth for 60 seconds or longer , so for kids who have , let ’s say … a poor sense of time , it ’s not always guaranteed that they ’ll brush as long as they should . The new Gum Crayola Timer Light Toothbrush has a creative way to let the kids know how long they ’re supposed to brush .
 The GUM Crayola Timer Light Toothbrush has a smaller , tapered brush head so it will be more comfortable and will fit into the kids ’ smaller mouths , especially kids between 4 - 11 years old . ( The picture shows a side by side of the Crayola toothbrush head on the right next to a larger toothbrush . ) The bristles are brightly colored green , blue , and yellow Dome Trim bristles , which helps remove plaque . They are also soft bristles so that they ’re gentle on the gums and teeth ( just in case the kids brush too hard .
 One feature I absolutely love is the rubbery , suction cup base . It allows you to stick the toothbrush to the counter , so it ’s standing up vertically . Not only does this help keep the counter clear , but it also keeps the bristles in the air so they do n’t pick up other dirty stuff ( like soapy water from washing hands . ) This feature is so cool , I do n’t understand why every single toothbrush – including ones for adults – does n’t have a suction cup on the end .
