Biggest Threats to Your Dental Health

Posted on 3/27/2019 by East Village Dental Centre
This might be a surprise to your lifestyle choices and overall health have an impact on your oral health. At your Wicker Park dentist, we want to make you aware of how your choices are doing to your teeth and overall dental health.

Smoking tobacco is known to not be good for you and can cause all sorts of issues with your health. Chewing tobacco deteriorates the gum tissue and eventually tooth enamel wearing them both down. Over time your gums will recede to the point where your teeth could begin to form cavities, decay and/or become more sensitive. Smoking and chewing tobacco also yellow your teeth and causes bad breath.

Poor Diet

The most well-known diet-related risk to dental health is sugar. Sugar causes plaque to build develop which then builds up and combines with carbohydrates to cause acid buildup. Over time, the acid will break down your tooth enamel, allowing cavities to form.

A nutritionally insufficient diet can lead to malnutrition which can put your body at risk. Without the proper nutrients, you are at risk for serious health problems as well.

Not Seeking Treatment

Letting dental problems linger is one of the worst ideas that you could have. Neglecting your dental issues can lead to more serious, painful and expensive issues down the road. What might seem small can be an indicator of a much larger issue.

As your Wicker Park dentist, we believe it is our responsibility to warn you of the potential negative impact your lifestyle choices are making on your mouth. Visit us at East Village Dental Centre for your next cleaning!

The M40A1 sniper rifle was used by the United States Marine Corps and was the first notable large scale production of any sniper rifle platform by any branch of the US armed forces. The rifle began to take shape in late 1965 with a purchase order to Remington Arms Company for some sniper rifles. These original rifles were based on the best target bolt action rifle available from Remington at that time — the 40X. The 40X was available (and still is) through the Remington custom shop as it was a special order rifle manufactured to the highest match grade standards. Each of these rifles became known as an "M40" and roughly 1,000 were made.

As with all things mechanical, the rifles began to wear out. Instead of asking Remington to make up some new rifles, the armorers at the Marine Corps Marksmanship Training Unit (MTU) at Quantico, Virginia decided to make their own version of a sniper rifle. The M40A1 was created out of a desire to make sure that Marines had the most accurate rifle that could be made. Also, the improvements to the M40A1 over the M40 were due, in no small part, to the commentary by the Marines that used them. Through constant feedback and a great deal of accuracy testing (something taken nearly for granted today) by the armorers, the M40A1 was put into full production.

As the old M40 rifles made their way back into the armory, snipers were then issued the new M40A1. This began in 1970 and the M40A1 was the sniper rifle issued by the USMC for the rest of the Vietnam war. One of the most famous USMC snipers of the time (and one of the most famous snipers in world history), Carlos Hathcock, did not use this gun. He opted for a Winchester rifle instead. I don't think this is an indicator of the Remington's quality; rather, when you are one of the best, you get to use what you like and with which you are comfortable.

Unlike the M40, the M40A1 was based on the Remington Model 700 action. The armorers probably decided on this action for two reasons: 1) this action is cheaper than the 40X and therefore, one could purchase more with budgetary dollars and 2) this action is highly customizable, readily available and an easy action on which to work.

Features of the M40A1

This bolt action rifle has a competition-grade heavy barrel, 5 (7.62x51mm NATO) round magazine, 10 power Unertl shockproof sniper scope, modified Winchester Model 70 floorplate and trigger guard, a McMillan fiberglass stock (much more durable than a wood stock as seen on the M40), enhanced trigger work and each stock is epoxy bedded to the barrel for increased accuracy. No M40A1 left the armory until it shot to less than one minute of angle (MOA). A rifle that shoots less than one minute of angle is very, very accurate. What this means is that if you were to draw a 1 inch circle and shoot it from 100 yards away, all the target strikes would go through that one inch circle. The closer the grouping of shots, the better the rifle because the rifle is more consistent in placing the shots with reduced margins of error.

This rifle has now been replaced with the M40A3. This occurred in 1996.

  • Manufacturer: Armorers at the Marine Corps Marksmanship Training Unit at Quantico, Virginia.
  • Overall Length: 44 inches (111.76 centimeters).

This confused me at first when I came to South Korea. When I ask someone back in North America for his or her email address, their username is usually their name, a nickname, the name of a character from a book or movie, a clever pun, or something like that. The Koreans all seem to have addresses that consist of a random string of letters, followed by a random string of numbers, like, or (Both these addresses are made up, not the addresses of real friends of mine, so don't try to send email to them).

The numbers didn't take me long to figure out. As soon as I had a few people's phone numbers and email addresses, I realised that they often use the last four digits of their phone number as the number at the end of their email address.

What about the letters? Well... the ones that have three letters are also easy to figure out. Almost all Koreans have three-syllable names; a one-syllable family name and a two-syllable given name. I've met two people whose given names are only one syllable, but that's rare. Anyway, the three-letter email addresses are initials. So, "kej" might be "Kim Eun Jung."

The longer strings confused me for a long time, until a student of mine gave me her email address, and I asked her what the letters meant. She told me it was her name. Then it clicked. If you toggle a Hangul-English keyboard over to Hangul mode and type the keystrokes corresponding to "qkrwldbs," for instance, you'll get Hangul characters spelling out "Park Ji Yoon" (name of a famous Korean pop star, incidentally). Because you can't have email addresses that are actually in Hangul, they just type their names as if they were writing in Hangul, and don't care that what's actually showing up is a bunch of incomprehensible English letters. Then, they just tell their friends that their email address is "Park Ji Yoon 0533" and their friends know what they mean.

The CLEAN function removes a range of non-printing characters, including line breaks, and returns "cleaned" text. The TRIM function then takes over to remove extra spaces and returns the final text.

Regardless of social gathering affiliation, few Individuals assist taxpayer subsidies for the wealthy and well-off. However for those who look intently at his plans for electrical automobiles, that’s precisely what President Biden is presently selling.

The president included a whopping $174 billion for electric-vehicle subsidies in his $2 trillion “infrastructure” proposal. And in a current speech, Biden argued that “the way forward for the auto trade is electrical. . . . There’s no turning again.” He went on to insist that “we’ve got to look ahead. . . . Which means new buying incentives for shoppers to purchase clear automobiles like the electrical Ford 150 — a union-made product — proper right here in America.”

This imaginative and prescient of government-led innovation spurring a green-technology renaissance to the advantage of all sounds good, no less than at first look. However the fact is Biden’s proposed “inexperienced” spending binge quantities to nothing greater than a taxpayer-financed handout to environmentally aware wealthy individuals.

To know why, contemplate the consumer-focused method to subsidizing electrical automobiles the president has in thoughts. His remarks and White Home releases alike continually check with “buying incentives,” which is simply politician-speak for tax cash subsidizing consumption — on this case, subsidies for purchases of recent electrical automobiles.

That’s a fairly rich demographic. For one, most working-class Individuals purchase used vehicles, not new ones. And electrical automobiles are nonetheless considerably costlier than conventional ones, additional narrowing the buying pool to well-off of us.

Simply give it some thought like this: Have you ever ever seen a poor particular person driving a Tesla? Or a working-class particular person behind the wheel of a Prius?

We don’t have to take a position about who would profit from Biden’s elevated electric-vehicle subsidies — present federal subsidies largely find yourself within the pockets of the wealthy. Sure, there already exists a federal tax credit score for plug-in electrical automobiles. Taxpayers can declare a credit score of as much as $7,500 for qualifying purchases.

Regardless of Biden’s rhetoric, it isn’t the working class that has made use of this current program, no less than to any significant diploma. Based on the Congressional Analysis Service, practically 80 p.c of the tax credit score’s beneficiaries in 2016 had incomes of greater than $100,000, whereas 7 p.c of those that benefited from the carve-out have been millionaires. And per IRS information, 62 p.c of 2018 beneficiaries had incomes exceeding $200,000.

It’s clear that the prevailing program overwhelmingly advantages the well-off. Underneath the circumstances, it appears affordable to count on that Biden’s enlargement of it could largely be extra of the identical.

There are a number of different difficulties with the president’s proposal to throw cash on the electric-vehicle market.

For one, the prevailing tax-credit program has severe issues. A 2019 report from the Treasury Division concluded that the Inner Income Service “doesn’t have efficient processes to establish and forestall faulty claims.” The report discovered that the present system has resulted in no less than 16,510 taxpayers receiving a whopping $73.8 million in probably faulty subsidies.

Furthermore, additional increasing electric-vehicle subsidies would skew the transportation system in favor of wealthier taxpayers. Proper now, we’ve got federal fuel taxes and different taxes on gasoline which can be used to finance roads, highways, and infrastructure. However electric-vehicle house owners drive on these identical roads with out contributing to all of those taxes. To make certain, there have been proposals to vary or complement the prevailing fuel-tax regime, however, for now anyway, additional subsidizing and hastening the acquisition of electrical automobiles by rich shoppers shifts extra of the tax burden for highway repairs onto lower-earning Individuals.

After all, if the president’s proposal would really save the day on the subject of local weather change, maybe it may very well be argued that the downsides are all price it. However it’s laborious to see how it could make any distinction in any respect.

Based on the Cato Institute, American passenger automobiles are chargeable for solely roughly 2.4 p.c of world carbon emissions. Eliminating that 2.4 p.c in its entirety can be unlikely to make a lot of a distinction to the outlook for the local weather, and Biden’s subsidy binge actually wouldn’t do this. Not everybody would swap even with large subsidies, and electrical automobiles run on . . . properly, electrical energy — which nonetheless principally comes from fossil-fuel sources.

To be clear, there’s nothing incorrect with electrical vehicles. Hopefully, the know-how will proceed to develop, and anybody who needs to purchase one ought to be happy to take action. What’s incorrect is forcing taxpayers to choose up the tab.

The one upside of this plan to spend tons of of billions of our cash on electric-vehicle subsidies is political. It should safe Biden applause from the environmentalist Left. However taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for a ineffective “inexperienced” giveaway to the well-off simply because it’d increase the president within the polls.

No Comments

30-second abstract:

  • Keyword issue (KD) scores assist digital entrepreneurs perceive potential search engine efficiency
  • KD scores are helpful in constructing web optimization methods, filtering out ineffective key phrases
  • Low competitors key phrases give a bonus in attracting visitors
  • Some KD calculating instruments could also be inaccurate attributable to the usage of restricted parameters
  • Semrush has developed a brand new components for KD rating calculations that it says has improved accuracy

With numerous firms competing for a similar viewers, digital entrepreneurs have to develop a extremely efficient and focused content material technique to discover a means by means of the crowded market and join with potential clients. Keyword issue (KD) is a vital metric to help entrepreneurs in formulating an efficient web optimization technique for reaching the highest of search engine outcomes pages (SERP).

Focusing on a key phrase with a low KD rating can obtain sooner outcomes with visitors from search engines like google as there may be much less competitors. Whereas key phrases with a better KD rating will sometimes have way more competitors in search outcomes, making it a lot tougher to seem close to the highest of SERPs within the brief time period. Long-term enhancements are achievable however will take time and require a number of web optimization measures to be carried out.

KD calculation instruments can decide how efficient a key phrase could also be in search outcomes. However, rather a lot can rely upon the web optimization instruments that digital entrepreneurs are utilizing. Such instruments will not be at all times correct as a result of restricted parameters that may differ from developer to developer. The result’s that the KD calculation could also be inaccurate and even lead a digital marketer to imagine that their key phrases will carry out higher in observe than in actuality.

Content created in partnership with Semrush.

Semrush, an internet visibility administration platform supplier, has developed what it says is a confirmed components to attain an correct KD proportion rating primarily based on in-depth analysis into web optimization patterns and consumer suggestions.

How Semrush’s Keyword Difficulty platform works

This yr, Semrush launched an updated version of its KD metric. The new components was the results of intensive lab testing by the corporate’s group of knowledge scientists and engineers. They studied patterns of SERP exercise for roughly 120,000 key phrases, masking greater than 100 parameters and ranging contexts to find out an correct KD worth. Alongside this, the groups analyzed the information to find out the issue that key phrases would face in utilizing web optimization to seem on the primary web page of search outcomes.

The three steps to decode your SERP standing and alternatives

Semrush’s platform has three steps to calculate the components.

1. SERP evaluation

The first entails SERP evaluation, the place the median worth is recognized for 3 metrics all through URLs on the primary web page of search outcomes. The three median values are:

  • The variety of referring domains pointing to the rating URLs
  • The authority rating of the rating domains
  • The ratio of comply with/no-follow hyperlinks to the rating URLs

2. Keyword parameter evaluation

The second step is an evaluation of key phrase parameters. This considers the above SERP elements, alongside a better inspection of particular person key phrases. All elements are weighted in a different way in Semrush’s components relating to the chance of influencing the first-page rating.

The parameter weighted the very best by a way is the median variety of referring domains for rating URLs, totaling 41.22 %. While the second-largest weighted share is the median authority rating for rating domains at 16.99 %. Search quantity is third with 9.47 %, and the median comply with/no-follow ratio for rating URLs is a fraction decrease within the fourth place at 9.17 %.

Other parameters embrace featured snippets, branded key phrases, and website hyperlinks, with the weighted share changing into progressively smaller. Factors that may hurt the KD rating are key phrases with a excessive phrase depend and no SERP options.

3. The calculations

The third step is the calculation itself. The components additionally adapts for every nation, taking a nation’s inhabitants dimension and the variety of web sites under consideration when calculating the KD rating primarily based on Semrush’s regional database.

What KD scores imply on your web optimization efficiency

On Semrush’s KD platform, the person can enter as much as 100 key phrases at a time to verify the KD rating. Crucially, the platform will help the person discover helpful low-competition key phrases. KD scores may also be calculated for each long-tail and native key phrases. In addition, the instrument permits the person to check their web optimization technique with rivals to see what’s performing properly and establish any key phrase gaps.

The outcomes present the person with the KD ranking and recommendation on what they should do subsequent to achieve hits. At the decrease finish of the dimensions, scores of 0-14 % are classed “very easy” with the strongest chance of recent pages showing close to the highest of Google rankings with out the necessity for backlinks.

The subsequent step up is 15-29 %, which is taken into account “easy”. While there could also be some competitors, it stays attainable to attain a excessive rating for brand spanking new net pages. However, this can require high quality content material primarily based on the key phrases.

Things get progressively tougher because the KD scores get increased. A rating of 85-One hundred pc, for instance, is assessed “very hard”, the place key phrases face the strongest competitors and the percentages are stacked towards new web sites breaking by means of. A rating remains to be attainable by means of options akin to on-page web optimization, hyperlink constructing, and campaigns to advertise content material. In this occasion, pay-per-click promoting might show extra helpful.

Law Firm Mergers in First Quarter 2019 are Outpacing Prior Years

March 2019

WASHINGTON, D.C., March 29, 2019 – Law firm mergers in the first quarter of 2019 were higher than merger activity in the same period last year, according to the merger research team at Fairfax Associates.

In the first quarter of 2019, we tracked 24 completed mergers (meaning the effective date of the merger occurred during the first quarter of 2019). This is higher than the 21 mergers in the first quarter of 2018 and higher than the first quarter historical average of 20 mergers per year, when analyzing our data over the last 10 years (from 2009 to 2018).

There were three cross-border combinations in the first quarter: Clark Hill with O’Gradys Solicitors (nine lawyers) in Dublin, Ireland; Littler with Homble Olsby (12 lawyers) in Oslo, Norway; and K&L Gates with Straits Law Practice (33 lawyers) in Singapore.

Mergers in the first quarter were dominated by small combinations, with eighty-three percent involving firms with between 5 and 20 lawyers. The largest domestic mergers of the quarter were Birmingham’s Burr & Forman with McNair (84 lawyers) in South Carolina, Washington DC’s Arent Fox with Posternak Blankstein & Lund (55 lawyers) in Boston, and Boston-based Manning Gross + Massenburg with Kurowski Shultz (23 lawyers) in O’Fallon, Illinois.

California, Illinois and New York were the leading states in terms of in-bound (the location of the smaller firm) merger activity, with three mergers each. Two of the New York mergers were New York City-based firms: New York-based Schwartz Sladkus Reich Greenberg Atlas with Mayerson Abramowitz & Kahn (six lawyers) and Baltimore-based Offit Kurman with Salon Marrow Kyckman Newman & Broudy (10 lawyers). On Long Island, Moritt Hock & Hamroff combined with Karol & Sosnik (seven lawyers). Two of the Illinois mergers were Chicago-based firms: Columbus-based Porter Wright Morris & Arthur with Butler Rubin Saltarelli & Boyd (19 lawyers) and Chicago’s Mandell Menkes with Leavens Strand & Glover (five lawyers). In California, the mergers were: Arent Fox with Kay & Merkle in San Francisco (seven lawyers), Fresno’s McCormick Barstow with Sinsheimer Juhnke McIvor & Stroh in San Luis Obispo (six lawyers), and Dowling Aaron (also in Fresno) with Saqui Law Group in Roseville (six lawyers).

Eleven other states and the District of Columbia had one merger apiece, including these combinations: Day Pitney with Richman Greer (15 lawyers) in Miami, Dykema with Loss, Judge & Ward (12 lawyers) in Washington, DC, and Smith Gambrell with Mazursky Constantine (12 lawyers) in Atlanta.

Fairfax Associates collects data from published reports, press releases and direct reports from law firms. Mergers are reported where the acquired firm has five or more lawyers. Upon routine verification of the data, some historical numbers may have been updated since previously issued reports, and the number of mergers contained herein may change as additional mergers are announced.

What leads to xenophobia against immigrants

racism : "Anyone who says' xenophobia 'takes on the perpetrators' point of view"

Read on one side

Why do so many conversations about racism fail? "The Answer" spoke to the journalist Ferda Ataman about problematic terms and alternatives to them, to the trainer and activist Tupoka Ogette about strategies for how best to address racism - and to the British author Reni Eddo-Lodge about the question of whether there are discussions about discrimination that it is better not to have.

"Root-free existence is a privilege of white Germans"

Racism in language doesn't just begin with swear words like the N-word, says journalist Ferda Ataman.

"We are obsessed with roots in Germany. At every opportunity we talk about what origins people have or what tribes they belong to. For example, when it is said that someone has 'Korean roots' or is 'of Turkish origin'. Myself - born in Stuttgart , grew up in Nuremberg - is often presented on panels like this: Ferda Ataman is a journalist with a Turkish migration background. A Michael Müller next to me is not presented with roots or backgrounds, but only with his profession and his competencies. The root-free existence is a privilege of white Germans. Many apparently still believe that a person's foreign ancestors say a lot about him. And that they can tell by their looks or names who is German and who is a foreigner. I think that's backward.

Ferda Ataman

Ferda Ataman has been writing about migration and integration as a journalist for many years. She is the chair of the New German Media Makers Initiative, in which media workers from immigrant families have organized. Her book "I'm from here. Stop asking!" has been published by S. Fischer.

I would therefore recommend moderators to avoid external attribution and simply ask the guests: How would you like to be introduced? And also advise you to question yourself: For whom do I use terms like 'roots'? Who do I ask about their origin and who don't? Why don't I treat everyone the same?

Racism in language is often hidden and not only when someone uses racist swear words like the N-word. As New German Media Makers, we want to raise awareness: Language can be exclusive, even without consciously wanting to exclude anyone. We have published a glossary with wording aids in which we explain terms and make suggestions for reporting. For example, 'migrants' as a synonym for 'people with a migrant background' is wrong, because not all migrant backgrounds have immigrated. What is also often done wrong are linguistic comparisons such as 'Muslims and Germans' or 'Migrants and Germans'. Strictly speaking, these are not opposites, because many people are both at the same time. With such formulations, however, Muslims and migrants are citizenship across the board. Correctly it should read 'Muslims and non-Muslims' or 'Migrants and people without migration experience'.

When we talk about racism, we should call the child by name and also say 'racism' - 'xenophobia' or 'xenophobia' are not synonymous and are problematic terms. To be on the safe side, no neo-Nazi asks before striking whether you are really a stranger or whether you live in Germany. In addition, the rejection is not directed against all people from abroad: white Dutch, Americans or Swiss are generally not targets of attack. Therefore: Anyone who says 'racism' names the problem. Anyone who says 'xenophobia' takes the point of view of the perpetrator.

How do we reduce plastic waste? How do homeless people find a home? What helps against hatred on the net? The new focus "The Answer") is dedicated to people, inventions and projects looking for solutions to the pressing problems of our time. We research how the world can get better and ask which ideas really work. If you have any suggestions, send us an email: [email protected]

Often terms like 'foreign' and 'foreign cultures' are used without thinking about it very much. But mostly it is a racist category that has nothing to do with 'foreign' in the true sense of the word. 'Foreign infiltration', which was used in a very inflationary manner in the last year, is an absolute nonsense. I'm sorry, but that sounds like a code for 'Germany the Germans' to me.

But conversations are not just about terminology. The racism often shines through in the statements. Anyone who says across the board that 'Muslims' are not capable of democracy and are against equality between men and women is expressing an anti-Muslim prejudice. Even a supposedly nice utterance such as 'You Asians are always so polite' is an expression of a racist worldview because it attributes certain characteristics to people based on certain characteristics. Racism is not about how it is meant, but what effect it has. Generalizations and generalizations about certain groups of people are always questionable. "

Why should one join the hotel industry?

Hotel terms

Technical terms used by hotels

There are many terms used in the hotel and travel industry, so we've put some of them together for you here.

The number of available hotel rooms.

A sales-generating booking channel e.g. a provider like expedia.com or HRS are so-called channels.

CTA - No arrivals

As soon as a "CTA" (closed to arrival) - closed for arrivals for one day has been set, the guest cannot book this day as an arrival day, he travels before and stays beyond this day, however, this is possible.

CTD - No departure

As soon as a "CTD" (closed to departure) - closed for departures for one day has been set, the guest cannot book this day as a departure day; if he or she departs earlier or later, this is possible.

Expiration days

Expiry days marks the number of days from which the allotment can no longer be booked by the guest. Example: Cut off 7 days means that everyone can still book freely up to 8 days before arrival, after which the system automatically closes the allotment.

The "front end" of a hotel booking page shows the customer all hotel information and enables online booking. The extranet is also referred to as the "back end" of this website, to which the hotel can log in to manage data such as availability, prices and restrictions.

With a brand or English "brand" is meant a hotel chain or group (e.g. Holiday Inn or Hilton) to which a hotel can join. A hotel can also change brands, e.g. from Best Western to Wyndham.

GDS - Global Distribution System

A GDS is a system that offers IT solutions for travel agencies in order to make flights, hotels and rental car bookings worldwide. The 4 big GDS companies are Amadeus, Galileo, Saber and Worldspan. The moving hotel data is transmitted to the GDS via a CRS and the Pegasus switch. Internet booking channels with which the hotel does not have a direct contract can also take over the data from hotels via Pegasus and make bookings based on the GDS availability / prices.

Lead days

see also "Cut off days"

Surcharge & margin

Markup and margin are typically used by tour operators buying in net rates.

We are giving an example below, as there is likely to be confusion here:

The sales price for the double room is EUR 100 per night and a guest books an overnight stay with an operator with whom your house works. The costs for the guest are EUR 100.00.

The organizer charges EUR 25 as commission, with EUR 75 remaining as the net rate for the hotel.

The organizer's share is equal to a third of the amount that the hotel collects (75/3 = 25).
This means that the markup is 33.33% (1/3 = .3333 x 100 = 33.33%) for the calculation in the organizer's extranet. The organizer's income is always 33.33% based on the amount for the hotel (excluding VAT)

The organizer's commission is always a quarter of the amount paid by the guest - EUR 25 out of EUR 100.
This means that the margin is 25.00% for this channel in the organizer's extranet. The organizer thus receives 25% of the income that the guest pays for the service.

That means - a surcharge of 33.33% corresponds to a margin of 25.00% for your hotel. These two different perspectives (one from the net (operator) and one from the gross (hotel) perspective) clearly explain the different names.

Maximum nights or maximum length of stay (also known as "maximum nights (on arrival)")

Restricting the maximum length of stay restricts availability, as a maximum number of nights cannot be exceeded for this day of arrival.

"Maximum nights (continuous)" or maximum length of stay (continuous)

A restriction of the "maximum nights (continuous)" restricts the availability, since a maximum number of nights cannot be exceeded for the entire period of stay.

Minimum nights or minimum length of stay (also known as "minimum nights (on arrival)")

A minimum stay on arrival limits availability, as you can and must only book this certain number of nights.

"Minimum nights (continuous)" or "Minimum stay (continuous)"

A restriction by "minimum nights (continuous)" restricts the availability, as you can and must only book this certain number of nights for the entire period of your stay.

Net rate

In this case, it is not about VAT, but about rooms that are sold via the organizer at net rates. If a guest pays EUR 100 for an overnight stay (sales price of the hotel), the hotel receives EUR 75 from the organizer on the shelf, which means the net rate is EUR 75.

PMS - hotel software system

Hotel management software.

Rates parity

You can only guarantee rate parity if there is an identical rate structure in all sales channels. This is important for several reasons. On the one hand, it increases the price integrity of the hotel, so that the guest feels safe to have received the best rate no matter which channel he used to book. On the other hand, there are relationships with your sales partners, who all expect the best price from you.

Selling price

The sell rate is the price paid by a guest / customer who has booked via a website on the Internet, a travel agency or directly at the hotel.

Booked up

Fully booked (English - stop sell) - this means blocking a room type or the entire hotel for a period of time on the hotel's booking channels. This is usually done when all or more rooms than available for the day / period have been sold.

Tour operator / wholesaler

Distribution partners are known by a wide variety of names - Wholesaler from the English means that hotel room prices are purchased net (i.e. without commission). So-called merchant models or tour operators also usually buy "net".

How Does Pregnancy Affect My Circulation?

November 19, 2020

 By Effie Koustas, MSPT

Once you find out you’re pregnant, you’re hyper-aware of changes to your body. One of those changes is how pregnancy affects your circulation. Due to the demands of pregnancy, the heart and blood vessels are more stressed. Your blood volume increases by 30 to 50 percent, your heart rate increases and your heart pumps more blood each minute, all to ensure proper nourishment of your growing baby. Below are some helpful hints and precautions to keep in mind to care for your circulatory system during this special time…

Up to 80% of pregnant women experience venous insufficiency (an inability of your veins to adequately return blood to your heart). Almost 40% develop varicose veins. These often result in complaints of heaviness or cramps in your legs or swollen feet. One of the best ways to assist your veins with circulation is to elevate your legs as often as possible or to wear compression stockings during the day.

Blood clots are a concern due to increased blood-clotting proteins and decreased blood flow in your body. Shortness of breath, although common during pregnancy, should be brought to your obstetrician’s attention to rule out blood clots. If traveling, you will need to get cleared by your doctor for air travel, especially if you are having circulatory issues. After your baby is born, unfortunately your body doesn’t bounce right back. It will take time for your body to return to its pre-pregnancy state—according to the American Heart Association, the risk of developing a blood clot is 10 times greater than normal for 6 weeks after delivery.

Lastly, though it is getting cold outside and a warm bath is a nice way to relax, keeping your body temperature from elevating by avoiding hot tubs/saunas is also recommended.

Following these tips and being aware of these precautions during pregnancy can help you, and your developing baby, stay healthy. Remember, if something doesn’t seem right, it’s always better to tell the obstetrician vs. trying to wait it out.

How to respond to questions you don’t want to answer

If there’s one thing as certain as Mother Nature is uncertain, it’s that farmers are asked difficult and challenging questions daily.

North American consumers spend many hours a day immersed in the world of social media, looking for answers on how their food is produced.  Subsequently, answering and/or justifying farm practices has become par for the course for farmers, another ‘to-do’ to add to our supercharged lists.

Farmers not only play an important role in the food conversation, they have a duty to participate in those conversations by answering questions. This helps consumers make informed, balanced decisions and shows that farmers have nothing to hide.

Naturally, not all those questions are informed or polite. But how you answer them, online and off, could set the tone for more constructive dialogue in the future.

Survival Tips

Rather than politician your way out of answering a question (that is, not answering it by simply inserting your own topic and speak on), remember these tips:

  • Make sure you understand the question: You can’t adequately answer a question you don’t understand. To demonstrate your comprehension, reframe their question (“So, what you’re saying is…”) and include parts of their question in your response.
  • Beware negative questions: you never want to repeat any negative language in your answers since it reinforces those concepts.
  • Answer part of the question: Addressing only a segment of their question – the part you want to focus on – may be enough to satisfy the questioner.
  • Postpone: A tried and true media interview training tip: Tell them you appreciate the valid question, but you don’t necessarily have all the information currently on hand to answer it adequately or responsibly. Since you value the questioner’s input, tell them you will get back to them within [time frame] and ask for their contact information. Follow up!
  • Bridge: Another media interview trick is bridging. This is where you divert attention away from a sticky question towards one of your key messages. For example, you could say, “Well, that’s not quite right. Actually/The fact is…” or “What I think you really what to know is…” and move from a mine-laden topic to presenting the facts or explaining how you’re handling a certain situation.
  • Take your time: You can take a cue from politicians here as well: if you’re not quite sure how to respond to a difficult question, buy yourself some time by repeating or rephrasing it. Those few critical seconds will allow your brain to register the question, search for and access relevant information.
  • Watch your body language: While it can be hard to remember to be aware of how you’re using your arms when under fire, the way you hold your body is critical to how you’re perceived. As soon as you do anything that could be perceived as defensive (folded arms, avoiding eye contact), it sets off the fight or flight response in the other person, making them defensive by turn. Neutral body language sends the message that you have nothing to hide and look forward to engaging in a dialogue with them.
  • Watch your tone: While it can be very tempting to answer what you perceive as a ridiculous question with a curt ‘yes’ or ‘no’, you should always use the opportunity to include facts, key messages, and valid sources from which they can learn more.
  • Give the questioner some control over the conversation: This is a good tactic to use when someone is a little hot under the collar. By saying, “I understand how frustrating it can be. Would it be helpful if I shared some information about that with you?” the questioner is offered some degree of control over the conversation and should (!) calm down.
  • Be as coherent as possible: Coherence (understandability), psychologists say, is a key source of meaning. Make sure your answers are simple, concise, and free of industry jargon.

While responding to unwelcome or unpleasant questions can make you feel fragile, vulnerable and even downright irritable, you shouldn’t stick your head in the ground. Your goal should not be to dodge or deflect, but to satisfy the questioner. When you do, it’s win-win for everyone.

Sevo’s Crystal Ball: Tire Talk

I was in Fruita almost 8 years ago (or was it 7?) that I saw Dave Grey roll up on a 1×1 with the first ever Endomorph tire, Large Marge rim, and fat fork (all prototypes) up front. Was a big “huh” moment. And honestly, as much as everything made sense that Dave told me about it…I didn’t think I’d ever dig it. And only one tire? Eh. Yeah, look at how well 650b did with limited tire selection. Flop.

At Interbike this year however you saw tires formally take off for fat bikes. More options than the 650b world has and growing…fast.  No longer was it just the Larry and Endomorph with Nate appearing mid season. We had them plus the Big Fat Larry. 45N’s Husker Du was formally out. Origin 8 had it’s Vee Rubber made tires and Vee Rubber had a mock up of it’s Mission 4.o tire (which I have a set of currently. More later on them). Plus you knew others were taking note. Fat bikes were the talk of the town.

We have yet to really explore the possibilities in tires that we’ve come to enjoy in other bicycle tires as well as the tech in the other worlds of rubber that could be applied. Tires ain’t cheap to make. I spoke to a company once about just reviving a tire it made in the ’90s once. Already designed just needed new molds and make a minimum number of tires. Easy as it gets. Cost? about $50k easy just to get a first batch made. Ouch. And that was for a popular rim size that the tire could have fit on tens of thousands of bikes. Needing much less rubber and such as a fat bike (was a 45c knobby for the record)

We’re still in a niche that you need a special rim, frame, fork, and such to use the tires on. Don’t expect prices and weights to fall in unison for some time. We’re really in a state very akin to the very first days of mountain biking in many ways which is what makes this interesting.

I see a few things coming around in tires to keep an eye out for in 2012 as well as Interbike in September:

Tread patterns: We’re seeing more aggressive treads come around with the Surly Nate, 45N Husker Du, and Vee Rubber’s Mission. I foresee though such coming down to smaller tire sizes as well, with bigger tires (3.7-4.0) seeing the implementation of low profile tread patterns like the classic Kenda Small Block 8 (which I’ve loved on my MTB in 26″ and 29″ as well as on my cross rigs). Or even applying Panaracer’s Cross treads found on the Cross Blaster and Cinder CX onto a big old 3.8 or 4.0. As great as the traction is with bigger tires out there now with full knobs, weight will soon be a bigger issue than it was even a year ago and slimming down tread size will be key.

Rubber types: Today’s fat bike tire rubber is pretty uneventful. Good reason though, price, traction of size of tire already, and niche market still. Yet I see this being a factor to come. Many have forgotten the days of the uber sticky  Specialized Umma Gumma and Ritchey Red rubber tires, true they wore out fast…but what could you do with a low profile knob uber sticky tire? And on slick rock? Or ungodly rocky/rooted terrain? We may never know. But other rubber technologies have surfaced over the years from Kenda, Panaracer, and Continental.

This doesn’t take into the account what else is available. Rubber compounds that may not have noticeable qualities on smaller tires could stand out big time on fat bikes. What will these be? And what will it have on tread patterns? Throw in playing with casing flex over the sheer size of the tire, I can foresee someone playing with that to take a whole new look at tire design than what even the best has had locked in their brain for the last 20 years in off road tire design.

Bigger Fronts: Rear tires have already shown their limitations in the Moonlander. We can really only keep pushing the width in the rear so far before we start needing to lengthen the chain stay. Hannebrink is a quick glimpse into how that plays out at the extreme. So what’s left? Front tires. And the great thing is all you need is a new fork (maybe wider hubs eventually) and you can apply it to any existing fat bike frame. Given that many fat bikes are built with suspension corrected fork geometries these days, you can even see room to go larger diameter.

Seem silly? Nope. Bigger front is an old trick that every motocross, bmx, and mountain biker has known for years. Hell on my cyclocross rig I’ve often run 35c front, 32c or 31c in rear. My mountain bike has a Conti 2.4 front (which is massive) and a WTB Exiwolf 2.1 rear. I even have a 38c for my Monstercross to throw in the rear while keeping a 45c up front I run sometimes. So why not on your fat bike?

Weight Redux: Bigger ain’t always better. Dream all you want, but a 4″ wide fat bike tire isn’t going to be down to 600 grams, ever. Nor will a 3.7″. And while a 3.3″ won’t either it’ll be a lot lighter than any 4″ tire. Lower profile by a 1/2 inch all the way around and we’re possibly getting to some pretty snappy tire weights.  And no…they probably won’t be great for sand or snow. But that won’t be the point of such. I personally would like such for a rear tire for just normal off roading and commuting. Kinda goes back to above about bigger rubber up front. And on traditional 26″ bikes, a 3.3″ up front is an easy conversion.

Why else will a 3.2″ or 3.3″ tire possibly be a hit? It potentially won’t be just a fat bike tire. Since it’s not available yet I don’t know, but I could see it working on a Velocity P35 rim. Plus it could be built with a little lower profile to lesson ze bounce a bit which could be key on rear squish designs to use such a tire in the future. I’ve also heard some strong rumors that others are developing 40-45mm wide rims which I’m sure it’d be nice for as well. More I think about it, that just may be the size you’ll see the most tire development in because of it’s in-between status in the fat world. I’ll bet one will come by Interbike in 2012.

Tubulars: “Huh? You say Tubulars?” Yes I did hotcakes. We’re talking a bit of weight that can be chopped off the outer limits of the rim. No more need for a hook on the rim all the way around. No need for the bead on the tire. Rim construction in general could be completely re-thunk. Not to mention a lighter tube. Throw in a removable core and a little bit of sealant and you are still ahead of the game. Say adios to 200-300 grams per wheel total. Also design limitations that plague a smaller tire won’t be a factor with the big old fat bike tires in a tubular.

Thinking to yourself….Yeah but I don’t need any of that? Well go back 5 years, 10 years. If I told you that you’d be rolling down the road on nearly 4″ wide tires for your bicycle of choice or to pull out during the winter. Would you have believed me? Probably not. The above will happen I can promise you. It’s just when.

    Great story… I love tires. Nothing can affect the feel And performance of your ride more.

    I’ll add the great experience I’ve had running Larry and Endo tubeless on Rolling Darryls. It has been an eye-opening experience, as I’ve been fast enough lately (in our unseasonably warm 60 degree temps) to ride at the front of the pack on dry singletrack rides in groups with mostly regular 29ers and 26ers. It’s kind of crazy how fast the tires roll when running tubeless at 5-7psi. Wow… It’s hard to find their cornering limits too… Amazing.

    I have already seen a pair of fat knobby Dugast tubulars

  4. Sevo January 7, 2012 at 2:17 pm #

    Hurl-If i retire I want the simple life. Simple pleasures. Low cost fun living. So that means staying budget. 🙂

    MG-Thanks. Yeah I’ve been enamored by tires since I got into MTBing in ’89. And I agree, there is something cool about these big tires you can’t argue with. I’ve always been surprised at how well they roll in relation to the much lighter tire choices you mentioned. Curious…what’s your tubeless setup?

    Shiggy-I KNEW IT. Had a feeling that if anyone would try, it’d be Dugast. They’ve been doing one-off and low production cool tubulars for certain mtb racers in the past, this does not surprise me. Got any pics?

  5. Tommy January 14, 2012 at 10:40 am #

    I’d love to see a Kenda fatbike tire. The Slant 6 tread just upscaled to 4″ I bet would be pretty cool on a variety of surfaces. Or a WTB Exiwolf type tread, although that’s already kind of what the Husker-Du seems to be driving at. Definitely looking forward to more options.

  6. Sevo January 23, 2012 at 3:47 pm #

    Tommy-I think you’ll see smaller than 4″ when it comes to knobby tires just to keep weights down. Even with low knob designs like the ones mentioned. (BTW-I have an Exiwolf on the back end of my squish bike, love it).

    Just picked up a Husker Du to try out up front and will be trying Nate in Back. May pick up a second Husker to try in rear as well. And well between that and the Mr Whirly crank it helps keep the MPLS punk scene theme across the board.

Habitat: found from New York to Florida and west to Colorado and Texas
Status: No Conservation Concerns

No, this isn’t a Swarovski crystal creation, but it very well could be! Instead, it’s a Spun Glass Caterpillar (Isochaetes beutenmuelleri) that has dozens of glittering, almost frosty-looking, spines radiating from its body. Don’t be tempted by its beautiful crystalline gaze, though. Those puppies do sting. You’ll want to look, but definitely don’t touch!

Reminds me of when your parents took you to an antique shop when you were little and you were told DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING. Then, you proceeded to secretly touch everything, especially the glass stuff. One time, I ended up breaking something – that was a more of a sting for my parents than for me, though.

If you look closely at the photo above, you’ll notice that you can see right through this creature! That dark green stripe running down the length of its body is actually its stomach.

Ultimately, it’s strange how these truly incredible spun glass caterpillars can transform into such plain Jane adults. Gotta grow up sometime and lose all your mystical qualities… I guess…

How to Freeze Spinach for Future Smoothies

facebook icon

pinterest icon

Can you believe this is a picture of frozen spinach? I almost can’t and I took the photo! It looks so fresh and tasty. Today we’re going to learn how easy it is to freeze spinach for future smoothies!

It seems we always have spinach in our house. Sometimes we have spinach in bags or those plastic bins or even fresh from the farmer’s market. Like all the ‘greens’ in our house they make their way into our salads, smoothies and sometimes dehydrated as chips.

Normally there isn’t a problem eating spinach in time before it starts to go bad. By bad I mean that ‘wet’ look that means it’s days away from the infamous swampy gelatinous throw away spinach. Eww. This is where the freezer comes in and saves my butt leaving the spinach frozen in time and perfect for future smoothies!

To save my lovely spinach I just put it in the freezer. No blanching, special rinsing, or special bags or containers required; I just place whatever container it’s in directly in the freezer. Easy!

The spinach will keep like this for awhile, although I always use mine within a few days.

When I’m ready to make my next smoothie, I just grab a handful of frozen spinach and throw it in with the rest of my ingredients. In case you’re wondering if there is a change in color or taste, there isn’t. You can see from the photos how fresh it looks and trust me when I say the taste is just as good as fresh. Win!

What is your favorite way to eat spinach?

    yay! i had no idea. guess i eat my spinach fast enough but now i have a backup just in case i don’t. i ALWAYS have spinach in the house as i survive off of spinach salads on a daily basis almost for lunch: spinach, walnuts, tomatoes, mushrooms, carrots, sometimes cucumbers, green onions, apples and feta cheese drizzled with balsamic vinaigrette.

  2. Crazyrawvegan says:

    Wish I knew this a few days ago, I just had to throw a bunch if spinach out! This will save me loads I the future though, thanks!

    • Anonymous says:

      You are most welcome! We just used up one tub in our freezer and I can’t get over that there’s no ‘I’ve been frozen’ weird taste. 🙂

  3. Caryn says:

    Wow, I had no idea! I end up throwing out a lot of spinach. I keep overestimating how much I will use in juicing/smoothies, and then it goes bad before I can get through it. Will definitely try this! I’m so excited! Have you tried freezing kale or any other greens?

Will Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 eat into each other’s audience? Not a chance, says EA

There are concerns that Titanfall 2‘s release alongside Battlefield 1 might lead to market “cannibalisation” between the two, but EA is confident the market has enough room for two blockbuster shooters from the same publisher.

EA is planning a big end to 2016, with Battlefield 1, Titanfall 2, FIFA and Madden closing out the year, while Mirror’s Edge Catalyst kicks off the busy period next month.

Investors raised concerns with the publisher about the release timing of Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1, suggesting there was an element of “cannibalisation” by releasing two blockbuster shooters so close to one another.

EA CEO Andrew Wilson responded by noting the size and strength of shooter genre, highlighted by its $4.5 billion in revenue.

Wilson said that within the category was a very “broad and diverse” set of players split between the “quick play” of Titanfall and the “strategic play” Battlefield.

“The result of that is we feel we actually have a really strong position to deliver the broadest set of gameplay mechanics, as it relates to first person shooter genre across the two titles, and feel very confident that we are well positioned to do very well in that category in the year,” he said.

He reiterated that Battlefield 1‘s early hype — it’s currently the most liked trailer in YouTube history — is something EA “feels very good about”.

“The energy around Titanfall 2 is also building very nicely, and we look forward to showing more of both of those titles at EA PLAY in June,” he said.

Battlefield 1 launches October 21 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, while Titanfall 2 is currently scheduled for a Q3 2016 release. Its official reveal will take place at EA PLAY next month.

a review of

Running by Cara Hoffman. Simon & Schuster Paperbacks 2018

Inspired by her own youth spent travelling and working in Greece, Cara Hoffman’s third novel, Running, is a suspenseful punk adventure tale.

It follows Bridey, Jasper and Milo, wild, hungry youths luring unwitting tourists to stay at a shabby Athens hotel in exchange for a place to crash and a commission to spend at the bar.

Jasper’s death under mysterious circumstances means Bridey and Milo have to find new ways to inhabit the uncertain, threatening world, with or without each other. Hoffman wrote the novel at a time when queerness seemed even more of a precarious identity to inhabit than it is now

She discusses this in a 2017 interview with Broadly, which suggests the temporary autonomy and anonymity her characters find in 1980s Athens is something precious and rare.

Besides her now-familiar themes of violence, poverty, survival, loss and grief, in Running, Hoffman explores how anonymity is another way to navigate being visibly vulnerable in this world.

The novel’s multiple narratives and voices bring us on a rapid-fire ride as we follow Bridey and Milo’s rabbit hole memories back and forth through time. Set in both the intense and violent world of travelling misfits and the netherworld of dispossessed childhood and poverty, Running deftly explores queerness, identity, class, and gender.

The obvious implications of the title are that this is a book about avoidance, about fleeing. For Bridey and Milo, the past is something dark, incomplete, unfitting. The avoidance of vulnerability, the need to front tough and be part of something wild and violent, makes it possible for “a girl and two queers” to have this adventure story. But protecting themselves is exhausting, full time work.

Fighting, scamming, and sweet talking are strategies the three friends use to allow them to exist in this world without being mistaken for “small and weak.” Running exists in a strange present, each of the timelines firmly planted but making the others blurry, shaky, the way something as sharp and raw as the present can become “like a dream...[from] childhood,” with characters moving back and forth through different places, contexts, and realities.

Long after their wild years are behind them, Milo and Bridey are still sitting with the loss of the temporary autonomous zone of Athens. Trapped behind papers and books in his office at the university, Milo is existing in a state of fear, barely passing as a professor, longing for a place like the council estate he grew up in or the Bronx neighborhood his favorite student takes him to, where he feels “both relaxed and ill.”

Bridey longs too, but is full of survival instincts honed in her childhood. She is searching for family and stability but isn’t sure how to build it. Each place she lays her head seems like it could be the start of a new life. She feels the most at peace alone in the woods, where memories of a childhood spent hiding out seem to lull her. “We could live here for free, [she thinks], feeling lighter in [her]step every second...[feeling] clean and cold and alive.”

For Milo and Bridey, some things lose their power with enough distance and time while others don’t. They are followed by memories of Jasper, and of their childhoods. Their bodies are haunted by a past spent “sleeping out,” by hunger, love and freedom. This time swaying narrative is like a poorly lit path we’re all on together, nervously picking our ways to the conclusion.

Reading Running can make us dream, too: of the wild youths we miss, the stable futures we hope for, or of our own magical autonomous zones where we can pass amongst the other wild ones.
