Connectors are slowly finding their way back into our racing quadcopter parts. While video transmitters and FPV cameras have always had connectors, many of the best flight controllers on the market today now give you the option of using JST-SH connectors alongside the familiar through-hole or soldering pads. For reference, all of the connectors pictured above were found in the parts box for our upcoming Armattan Chameleon build. If you have the proper tools and skills, using these connectors are hands down the easiest way to build a good looking, easy-to-repair quadcopter.

Why use connectors?

Connecting this 4-in-1 ESC and flight controller with a JST-SH connector makes this quadcopter very easy to repair.

Using connectors offers two advantages over hard soldering your wires to your components:

  1. Connectors are removeable. When you use them you are making the conscious choice to be able to easily remove and replace any of the components on your quadcopter without having to heat up the soldering iron. This has fantastic advantages at the field, but is also less risky. I’ve done my fair share of damage with my soldering iron when attempting to “re-solder” through-hole connections, and I’m sure many of you have too. Connectors are the answer to this.
  2. Connectors are more durable. While it may seem that using a metallic glue (solder) to hold your wires in place is the best method to use for durability – the opposite is actually the case. When you flow solder down a copper wire, you make it very brittle. It only takes a few bends before it breaks. On the other hand, a good crimp is extremely secure and can withstand not just bending loads, but equal tension loads to soldering as well. In most cases, the copper wire breaks before the crimp gives way. Finally, connectors are more prone to “popping out” of their sockets when stressed rather than breaking. This is great – just pop it in and keep flying. No repairs needed.

Why doesn’t everyone use connectors then? Because they are confusing and often require expensive tools to properly perform crimping. In this guide, we’ll offer you some tips and tricks for (1) identifying connectors used on your quadcopter parts and (2) ways that you can use them in your build.

How to reuse pre-crimped connectors in your build

Most quadcopter components you buy that use connectors will come with a nice little package that contains each connector used with a length of wire running off of it, pre-crimped to the connector. For many builds this is all you will need to get off to the races. We’ve broken down the steps to using these connectors below:

  1. Identify which pins you want to use in your build. This should be done by consulting the manual or pinout diagram for the part and comparing it with your wiring diagram.
  2. Remove the pins you don’t want to use. This can be done by removing them from the connector (see below) or cutting the wire off at the connector.
  3. Insert the part into your quadcopter and measure how much of the wire length you need. Clip the wire at that length, with a little bit of play. Remember building rule #1: measure twice, cut once! If you mess up, though, you’re not totally screwed – see “repairing broken connectors” below.
  4. Strip and terminate the wire to whatever component you are connecting to. This can be done in many ways:
    1. For soldering pads – just solder the wire down.
    2. For through holes, you can solder the wire in, or install a pin in the through-hole and install a dupont servo connector on the wire.
    3. If the connector needs to go to another connector, you’ll need to do some splicing (see below).

Removing pins from a JST-style connector

Removing the pins from a connector is a useful skill to have. You can do it to customize your connector by removing unused wires or to repair broken or improperly clipped wires.

The process is pretty simple. You use a small flat head screwdriver to pull up the plastic tab which locks the pin into the plastic connector body while gently pulling on the wire. When the tab is pryed up enough, the pin will come loose and the wire will pull out. Here it is being done on a JST-SH connector like those found on most flight controllers:

And here’s an example of the process on a standard servo connector:

The process of installing a pin into a plastic connector body is the opposite: gently push the pin into the connector body with the barb facing upwards towards the plastic tab. When inserting pins into the connectors – they only go in one way. Don’t force it. If you bend the plastic tab up too much when removing the broken pin, you may need to bend it back downwards so the new pin “locks” in place. Give the wire a good snug tug to make sure the pin has seated and locked in place properly.

When you have two wires with pre-crimped connectors on each end that you need to connect together, your only option is to splice them. Splicing is the act of joining two wires together. I highly recommend you do not just place the wires end to end and apply solder – this type of join is very susceptible to breaking because solder does not have a lot of strength by itself.

Instead, I recommend you perform what is called a “lineman splice” and then soak it in solder. This makes an extremely strong bond that is, in most cases, stronger than the wires you are splicing. Here’s a video that goes over the process:

Once you’re done with the splice, make sure you slip some heat shrink over it. You don’t want exposed wiring anywhere in your quadcopter build. Remember: carbon fiber is conductive!

How to identify the connectors on your quadcopter parts

For the cleanest possible builds, you’ll want to be able to crimp your own connectors. By doing this, you can build fantastically neat wiring harnesses of the perfect length. However, you’ve got to first identify what types of connectors you are dealing with. This can be quite daunting – all of the connectors pictured above are different! It also doesn’t help that many retailers mis-label connectors and tools for use with them. We’ve even seen this from big retailers like HobbyKing. Always triple check that you are ordering the right parts!

Fortunately, the identification process is pretty easy if you understand the concept of connector pitch. Most connectors found on our quadcopters look very similar. The big difference between them is referred to as their “pitch”. This is the distance between each pin in the connector.

You can determine the pitch of your connector with a pair of calipers. Measure the distance between the first pin on the connector and the last. Then, divide that number by the number of pins minus one. This is the “pitch” of the connector. In the next section, we will introduce the most common connectors found in the hobby, and will include pitch values for each connector. Simply find the similar looking connector in the list below with the same pitch and chances are high that it is the same connector used on the part in question.

Connectors commonly found on quadcopters

This is a small plastic connector that is commonly seen on the side of many flight controllers on the market. It is also used on many video transmitters and RC receivers, such as the FrSky XSR.

Servo Connectors

Last but certainly not least is the classic “servo connector” used throughout the radio control hobby. In miniquads, we often use these to connect wires to pin headers that are soldered onto through-holes on the flight controller or PDB. These connectors are super cheap to buy and easy to work with. However, they are also pretty bulky. It is getting hard to fit more than a few of these connectors into most of the tight, modern quadcopter builds.

Futaba vs JR Servo Connectors

Many of the guys who have been in the hobby for awhile may be familiar with the fact that not all servo connectors are created equal. Specifically, there are “JR” servo connectors and “Futaba” connectors. The big difference is that the Futaba style connector has a small plastic tab on the signal side of the connector. In Futaba style receptacles, this tab makes it impossible to insert the connector in backwards – quite a handy feature.

Fortunately it is easy to convert between Futaba and JR connectors – simply clip off the plastic tab of the Futaba connector with a pair of wire cutters. It is now a JR connector, which will insert into both JR and Futaba receptacles. Great!

Still can’t find your connector or want more pictures? This identification guide found at Micron Wings has a more extensive list of connectors as well as some additional information I didn’t include here, like pin shape.

How to crimp your own connectors

Crimping is the process of squeezing metal pins around a wire so that the two form a strong bond that cannot be easily separated. It is the major step in making your own connectors using just wires, pins and plastic connector bodies like the ones you can purchase above. Crimping your own connectors is the ultimate way to get a fantastically clean quadcopter build. With splicing, you are restricted to lengths of wire between connectors of at least 2cm, for a good splice. It also forms a hard, straight length of wire where the splice is done. By crimping your own connectors, you will be able to remove these disadvantages and have one clean length of wire running to all your parts.

When buying a crimping tool, you need to be extra careful to buy one that supports the types of connectors you need to crimp. If you just want to crimp servo connectors, you can pick up a tool for about $25. If you want to crimp small JST-SH connectors, you’ll need to spring about $55. Make sure you read reviews or comments when buying a crimping tool to ensure that others have commented on experience using that tool to crimp the connector you want to use it with.

Buyer beware! HobbyKing sells a cheap crimper that it claims is for JST-SH (small) connectors. This crimp is not for JST-SH connectors, but for servo connectors. In the product pictures it even shows servo connectors being crimped. Don’t get misled!

IWISS Dupont Crimper $23.00 Servo connectors and JST-XH Buy it here

This is a crimp tool which can be used with larger connectors like servo connectors or JST-XH varieties. It is extremely high quality for the price. You can pick it up here.

In addition to the crimp tool, you’ll also need some wire and the proper pins and connector bodies. For the connector parts, find the appropriate part in our tables above. For wiring, we suggest using 26 or 28 gauge wire. You can purchase a ton of it in ribbon cable format here. Another option is buying it with silicone sheathing, which is much more durable but also more expensive. This can be purchased here.

How to Crimp

The actual crimping procedure is pretty simple once you get used to it. The real challenge is figuring out the correct crimping procedure for each pin type. In this section, we’ll walk you through crimping a standard servo connector. Lets take a look at the pins:

The two labeled points are what will be getting bent over in the crimping process. The metal tabs at point 1 are intended to folder over the wire sheathing and provide strain relief. Properly doing this goes a long way to prolonging the life of your connector. The metal tabs at point 2 must be crimped over bare wire. This is what forms the actual electrical bonding to the wire and provides the structure. You can see how the wire should line up in this photo:

The wire sheathing should be inserted just inside of the outside tabs on the pin to be crimped to provide strain relief.

This type of two-part crimping scheme is pretty common among all pins. Make sure that you always line up the wire accordingly. For smaller pins, this can get difficult – just be persistent!

With that in mind, you’re ready to crimp. Get out your tool and place your pin in the appropriate tooth. For 28 or 30 gauge wire, that is the outermost tooth with the tightest crimp. To hold the pin in place, I close the jaws of the tool so that the pin is seated firmly inside of them, but is not yet getting bent. I then insert the wire the appropriate distance, as discussed above:

Next up, squeeze the jaws shut to get your crimped connector!

Once you’ve done a few, the process shouldn’t take more than a few seconds. Once again – this is a helluva lot easier than soldering. I like to test each crimp by pulling the wire and connector apart with about 5lbs of pressure. If it’s snug and doesn’t slip, you have a good crimp.

Once you’ve crimped all your pins, simply insert them into the plastic connector bodies. The process is described above, but essentially you need to install them so that the barb is facing upwards. It will get retained by the locking tabs on the pin.

ENFORCE Act materials

April 15, 2013

Here are some materials on trade law enforcement issues that are crucial to understanding what’s going on in the 113th Congress.

The main flyer CPA has been using to educate policy makers is here.  It describes the problem of “duty evasion” and the need for the ENFORCE Act (HR 1440, 113th Cong.).  CPA members and others can use it when you speak to your legislators.

A more comprehensive briefing book on the duty evasion problem is called “Duty Evasion: how ‘Trade Cheats’ Steal Our Treasure.”  You will find real world examples of the startling amount of fraud, trans-shipping, mis-labeling and other intentional misconduct in the export/import industry.

With a hurting heart and rested legs, Kevin Love got back to the game of basketball Tuesday at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Nine days after he had last played, six days after his maternal grandmother, Carol Lee Craig, died and one day after his first practice back with his teammates, Love hit the floor and played with an intensity that swept through the whole team.

Love scored 26 points and had 16 rebounds and seven assists as the Wolves beat up on the Detroit Pistons 121-94.

The whole time, Love played like the basketball court was a refuge.

“It’s really a holy place for me,” said Love said. “It has been my whole life. Any time I’ve had some sort of adversity, the best way to get back is to get on the court. It was great to get back out there. I was with my family [in Oregon] throughout the weekend. But being around these guys, it’s a family atmosphere too.’’

Frankly, the whole team played an inspired game. After too long with not enough ball movement, the cuts were crisp and the ball moved, one reason why the Wolves had a 28-8 edge from the free throw line, why all five Wolves starters scored in double figures, why even an unbelievable first-quarter shooting exhibition by the Pistons didn’t daunt a Wolves team that ended a two-game losing streak. It was a show of consistent force that had even coach Rick Adelman smiling.

“He was ready to go,” Adelman said of Love, but he might have been talking about the whole team. “He was terrific tonight. He was all over the boards. Seven assists. Just solid all the way through. This was a really solid win for us. We had a lot of energy.”

And it started with Love.

His grandmother lived next door to Love as he grew up. She helped raise him. So he wrote, “RIP Grandma Carol’’ on his sneaker, then walked onto the court and had 12 points, six rebounds and three assists in a first quarter that ended with the Wolves up 33-32.

The second quarter, though, belonged to another Kevin — Martin. The veteran guard scored 12 of his 18 points in the quarter as the Wolves took control of the game.

MIDI Beat Clock

Using external MIDI devices alongside Pro Tools is great, but I see a lot of people only scratching the surface and I wonder is that out of choice?, or just because they are not aware of the options Pro Tools provides to make life easier.

For example, you may have an external synth which you love the sound of, so you plug the sound outputs of it into the inputs of your Pro Tools sound card and capture that sound you love, great, but what happens if you have a delay effect on that synth? Or a sequenced arpeggiator? in walks the problem of synchronicity. It’s at this point that I have seen people remove delays from their external devices and place a plug-in on the track within Pro Tools instead as they clock right to the BPM of the session.

In this article I am going to introduce you to the offerings of MIDI beat clock within Pro Tools which allows you to clock your external MIDI devices to the timings of your session with ease. It’s worth noting that not all devices are capable of this, you are looking to see if your device supports receiving a MIDI beat clock, and if so, read ahead.

Let’s first look at getting Pro Tools setup to transmit a MIDI clock signal for your external devices to receive.

From the Setup navigate to Setup > MIDI > MIDI Beat Clock from which you should be presented with a dialog window as seen below.

Menu MIDI Beat Clock
MIDI Beat Clock Dialog

At the very top you will want to check the box labelled “Enable MIDI Beat Clock for…”, you will then notice a list of MIDI devices underneath, these are the devices, when checked, that you wish to receive the clock signal. You may find that if your MIDI interface does not support transmitting to specific MIDI ports that only the specific interface title will be offered as a destination.

You may need to activate your external device to receive the signal and line up with it, in these cases you should refer to the manual in which it should be relatively easy to find, it is usually down to something as simple as a menu option that needs changing.

You will notice the option on the right hand side of the window to enter an offset value in samples, this is to help account for delay in the time taken between the MIDI signal being sent by one device and received by another. We obviously want to avoid any timing issues where possible so let’s look at calculating that offset so we can get everything inline.

Different devices will hold different fixed latencies, this is the reason why Pro Tools allows you to apply an offset to individual devices on a port-by-port basis. So by now your external device should be receiving the signal and synchronising to it, now we have to calculate and input any timing differences which have have occurred to keep everything tight, which after all is the reason we set the beat clock up in the first place!

To determine the MIDI beat clock offset between your MIDI interface and the external receiver, first ensure that the two are connected and have been activated as we discussed in the section above. You will want to ensure that the audio output of your external device is plugged into the input of your Pro Tools interface and that you are seeing the incoming signal within your Pro Tools session when it is triggered.

You will then want to make sure your device is ready to play back something that will be easy to line up with within your edit window, something that is ‘on the beat’ such as a single drum hit with a sharp transient works best.

Create a new Pro Tools session ensuring that the MIDI beat clock is activated and is being sent to the device you wish to test for delay. Set the main time scale to Bars|Beats as shown in the image below:

Pro Tools Set Bar|Beat

Next, create a new audio track and set the input to be the sound output of your external device. Record enable that track and start recording, if set up correctly, this should send the MIDI beat clock to your external device triggering it to play on the beat of your session. A couple of bars of recording will suffice, when you are happy you have enough content, stop recording.

You should now have an audio track within your Pro Tools session which holds audio data that has come from your external device after it was triggered by the beat clock, still with me?

Next we are going to enable Grid Mode so that we can see a grid and snap to it:

Pro Tools Grid Mode

Using the selector tool, place the cursor on a straight beat of the grid before a transient, for example if you are working in a 4/4 session, place the cursor precisely on the first beat of that bar, with Grid Mode enabled you should be able to click roughly near the beat and the cursor will snap to the precise grid point.

We now have a place to measure the delay, the time difference between the Pro Tools grid beat and the start of the transient from your external instrument.

Next turn on Tab To Transient and after doing so hit the shortcut Shift + Tab, this will select the space between the selected grid point and the transient recorded.

Next, without losing that selection, head up to the top of the edit window and change the main time scale to Samples, notice that the display window to the right on the time scale display will now show you the length of the selection in samples, this is roughly the offset timing that we need to correct! Easy right?

Offset Samples

Now we know we have an offset of 215 samples, we can head back into the MIDI beat clock dialog window and enter the value. Remember that in the recording the transient was 200 samples late, so we need to set an offset value of -215 to get everything back in line.

Take Note

Once you have figured out the offset value required for you external devices, write them down! Should you start a new session in the future and want to use your device again you will have the values to hand for a quick setup so you can spend the time recording and not wasting time calculating latency!

Final Words

We hope you have found this article useful and if anything has given you another string for the bow of Pro Tools knowledge to woo people with next time you’re in the studio!

It makes sense to have the software perform as much as it can for you, especially if it will save you time not having to try and sync things after recording when you didn’t realise Pro Tools could do it for you in the first place!

Any questions give us a shout!

WATCH THIS WELFARE QUEEN! OMG! THIS VIDEO IS COMPLETELY AWESOME AND YOU HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK! This is what Obama caused with his communist ideals and reforms. I wouldn’t like to even mention how sick I get after watching this kind of videos, and I’m not the only one!

During Barack Hussein Obama’s sham of a presidency, he allowed millions of people to go on welfare and freeload off of hardworking taxpayers. Under Obama, food stamp recipients went up by 10.7 million people according to data released by the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

In this video, an entitled welfare queen tries to use her EBT card in a gas station. The cashier then informs her that her card is not working, meaning she can’t use her welfare dollars to make her purchase.

The woman immediately throws a massive temper tantrum, destroying the store as she realizes she won’t be able to freeload anymore. We guess you’ll have to go out and get a job, lady!

H/T Truth Monitor

This is horrifying and AWFUL! This woman should IMMEDIATELY go to jail according to me. There are so many countries in the world where there is no welfare at all. She should be grateful to this country taxpayers’ not to do this.

Superstorm Sandy Tests Emergency Preparedness of Cancer Patients

When Superstorm Sandy hit New York and New Jersey, it tested the emergency preparedness of many people. But for those with chronic or life-threatening illnesses, natural disasters don’t let you put your health on the back burner.

A cancer patient living in New York City writes about her hurricane experience in this New York Times blog, saying “while you can gather a first-aid kit, canned goods and extra batteries, you can’t stockpile chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics or emergency medical advice in the same way.”

People with cancer need to be particularly concerned about disaster situations because their weakened immune systems can put them at higher risk for infections, bleeding, fatigue and injury.

If you have cancer, take these important steps to be prepared in an emergency:

  • Talk with your doctor about what to do and how to stay in contact in during a disaster. You can download this wallet card from the National Cancer Institute.
  • Make a plan with your family, friends, and neighbors or whoever may need to help you during a disaster.
  • Know your exact diagnosis, cancer stage, and any medications you take. If you are receiving chemotherapy or radiation, know where you are in your treatment cycle. This is critical information in case you are seen by a doctor who is unfamiliar with your treatment.
  • If you are on a clinical trial, know the trial number (NCT number, preferably), Principal Investigator, hospital, and drugs or treatments being given.
  • Be sure to have important phone numbers written down on the wallet card or elsewhere, because cell phones may not work and batteries can drain.
  • If you have insurance, make sure to carry your insurance card. Contact your insurance provider in the event you are displaced and need to seek care.
  • Make a kit with items you may need like dressings, antiseptic, medications, a thermometer, etc. Store them in a zip lock bag to stay dry.
  • To manage symptoms of chemotherapy or radiation treatment, consider packing these items: if you are on Xeloda or 5FU, make sure you pack enough Imodium or “Bag Balm” cream if you have severe hand and foot syndrome. If you are on radiation treatment and have dry mouth, include Biotene mouthwash or any other OTC supplements that are recommended by your physician.

"While you may have all your paperwork and 'ducks' in a row," says Iffa Hughes, chemotherapy clinic supervisor, "symptom management is often key in helping a cancer patient feel so much better in an emergency situation."

Bluepoint Solutions Publishes White Paper “Creating Value for Your Members: Is Your Document Imaging System Holding You Back?”

Share Article

The white paper examines pain points caused by obsolete technology and offers solutions to improve member service and operational efficiency.

Bluepoint Solutions today announced the availability of a new white paper, “Creating Value for Your Members: Is Your Document Imaging System Holding You Back?” The white paper examines common pain points caused by reliance on obsolete technology and examines the link between inefficient processes and member service failures.

To download a free copy of Bluepoint’s white paper, click here.

As many as three quarters of credit unions surveyed are using a document imaging system aged five years or more. While often still perceived as functional, these systems have become obsolete and require inefficient workarounds that sap employee time and productivity and, ultimately, result in subpar member service levels. Just because a system works, doesn’t mean it works well. The goal of this paper is to examine five common pain points that destroy value for members, identify the underlying causes, and highlight alternatives to fix these broken processes.

The pain points identified and explored in the paper are:

  •     Lack of immediate document availability
  •     Lost and stolen documents
  •     Documents scattered among disparate systems

New Research Points to Poor Prognosis with this Mesothelioma Subtype, According to Surviving Mesothelioma

Share Article

Scientists say a subset of patients with epithelioid mesothelioma – the type of that is usually most responsive to treatment – may face as big a challenge as those with biphasic or sarcomatoid.

Mesothelioma Survival Impacted By Microscopic Differences

Mesothelioma Subtypes and Survival

Our results indicate that pleomorphic subtype is a predictor of poor prognosis.

Doctors in Croatia say not all types of epithelioid mesothelioma respond to treatment in the same way. Their study of microscopic (histological) differences in mesothelioma subtypes is the subject of a newly posted article on the Surviving Mesothelioma website. Click here to read it now.

Researchers at the University of Zagreb School of Medicine analyzed the subtle differences in the tumor cells of 108 mesothelioma patients between 2000 and 2010. They found that those with a particular subtype of epithelioid mesothelioma carried as poor a prognosis as mesothelioma varieties that are usually considered less treatable.

“Our results indicate that pleomorphic subtype is a predictor of poor prognosis and support classifying it with sarcomatoid or biphasic malignant pleural mesothelioma,” writes Dr. L. Brcic, lead author on the paper.

The study, published in the international pathology journal Virchows Archiv, found the pleomorphic subtype in 5 of 98 epithelioid mesothelioma patients.

“It is important for patients and families to understand what histological subtyping means because it can have a major impact on their diagnosis, their treatment, and, ultimately, their outcomes,” says Surviving Mesothelioma Managing Editor, Alex Strauss.

To learn more about how the differences in pleural mesothelioma cells can affect survival, see Mesothelioma Subtype Predicts Poor Survival Odds now available on the Surviving Mesothelioma website.

Brcic, L et al, “Reproducibility of histological subtyping of malignant pleural mesothelioma”, October 10, 2014, Virchows Archiv, Epub ahead of print,

For nearly ten years, Surviving Mesothelioma has brought readers the most important and ground-breaking news on the causes, diagnosis and treatment of mesothelioma. All Surviving Mesothelioma news is gathered and reported directly from the peer-reviewed medical literature. Written for patients and their loved ones, Surviving Mesothelioma news helps families make more informed decisions.

New Teeth Straightening Option Positioned to Revolutionize Orthodontic Care

Share Article

SmileCareClub Offers Oral Care Solution at Fraction of Cost in the Comfort of Own Home and Gives Back.

SmileCareClub can fix minor crowding and space issues for only $900, which is an incredible savings

Seven out of 10 American adults have crooked and misaligned teeth, have wanted to straighten them for years, but haven’t wanted metal braces and don’t have $5k or more in their budget to cover the cost of treatment. Braces and invisible aligners (the much-preferred straightening system), done in an orthodontic office cost from $3-$6K. SmileCareClub the leader in the ground-breaking field of teledentistry, provides an alternative solution, allowing patients to straighten their teeth in only 4-8 months, at a fraction of the cost of regular braces or invisible aligners, with 24-7 oversight by licensed dental professionals - all from the comfort of their own home.

“SmileCareClub can fix minor crowding and space issues for only $900, which is an incredible savings,” said orthodontist Dr. Damon Barbieri. The clear aligners work similarly to braces, but don’t have the sharp corners. They can be removed while eating or playing sports and to brush/floss so your teeth stay cleaner. The trays are so thin and light, most people won’t notice them, providing ease in professional and social situations. “In addition to cost savings and the benefits of removable trays, patients will be able to complete the process on their schedule, at home. But they don’t have to worry about knowing how to move teeth themselves,” continued Dr. Barbieri. “The patient can contact their licensed professional with personal questions through the entire process.

How it Works in Six Easy Steps
1. Log-on to and complete a free Smile Assessment
2. Purchase an Evaluation Kit for $95 which includes:

Dental Impression Kit
Dental and Medical Forms
Photo Assessment
Pre-paid FedEx label

3. Patients take impressions of their teeth at home. A professional will make sure the impressions were done correctly
4. Receive a 3D treatment plan that shows how teeth will move and what smiles will look like, plus the first set of aligners. If not pleased, the fee is fully refundable
5. Dental professionals will create a custom treatment plan from the evaluation kit
6. Receive the first set of aligners in the mail and begin the process

Making a Difference and Giving Back
Smile Care Club believes that businesses can make positive contributions to the world. “We are proud to announce that SmileCareClub is partnering with Global Dental Relief to bring dental health to children who would otherwise go without dental care,” said Doug Hudson, SmileCareClub CEO. “With every Evaluation Kit purchased, we are donating one dental clinic visit to an impoverished child in Kenya.”

Teledentistry: Dental Care from the Comforts of Home
In the US, the medical field has seen a rise in telehealth (400% increase from 2012; total available market is estimated at $50-$60 billion*) as patients seek medical attention from home or on their mobile devices. In fact, one in six medical visits were virtual this year, and that number will continue to increase*. Teledentistry came into practice in the early 1990’s to help consumers gain easy access to dental care. SmileCareClub founders realized that aligner therapy could be more affordable for consumers by using the innovative technology of 3D printing and applying the rising trend of telehealth. Even though treatment takes place at home, dental professionals around the country oversee each individual’s customized plan.*

About SmileCareClub
SmileCareClub was founded in 2013 to provide everyone with an affordable and convenient way to achieve a perfect smile.

Dr. David A. Peto Now Provides Advanced Laser Gum Surgery to Treat Gum Disease at His Beverly Hills, CA Practice

Share Article

Patients in need of treatment for gum disease in Beverly Hills, CA, can now turn to periodontist Dr. David A. Peto of Periodontal Health Specialists Beverly Hills for the LANAP® protocol. This laser gum surgery is a highly effective treatment option that results in little discomfort and a fast healing time.

Dr. David A. Peto Now Provides Laser Gum Disease Treatment in Beverly Hills, CA

Dr. David A. Peto, a leading periodontist in Beverly Hills, CA, is now offering the LANAP® protocol at his practice for patients who are in need of treatment for gum disease. The LANAP® protocol is one of the most advanced gum surgery treatment options available to patients suffering from periodontal disease. Using the PerioLase®MVP-7™, a laser specifically designed for use in the LANAP® procedure, Dr. Peto targets and eliminates the bacteria that cause periodontal disease and the tissue that these microbes infect. This allows patients’ gums and teeth to heal and reattach, which may help many people keep their natural teeth.

The LANAP® protocol is the only FDA-cleared laser gum surgery option available in the U.S. for the treatment of periodontal disease. It involves only the use of the laser and an ultrasonic scaler, so Beverly Hills patients experience little to no bleeding, minimal discomfort, and a quick healing time after their visit to the periodontist. Many patients undergo the procedure, which can take as little as one hour, and are back at their normal routine later the same day or the next morning. Moreover, this gentle treatment option is appropriate for individuals of all ages at all stages of infection and has no contraindications.

Gum disease is a serious problem throughout the nation. 64.7 million Americans who are 30 or older have gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum infection. Additionally, nearly 50 percent of Americans suffer from periodontitis, which is a more advanced form of periodontal disease. As patients suffer from these advanced stages, they become more likely to suffer from other health complications. Many recent studies have shown a link between infections of the gum and serious health conditions including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.

It is imperative that all Beverly Hills, CA, patients who are experiencing the signs and symptoms of gum disease receive treatment from a qualified periodontist. Those who would like to learn how the LANAP® protocol can help them win their battle with gum disease can contact Dr. Peto’s office for more information.

About the Practice

Periodontal Health Specialists is a periodontal practice offering individualized care for patients in and around Beverly Hills, CA. Dr. David Peto is a board certified periodontist. He earned his dental degree from the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto and completed a general practice residency at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He then completed a three-year postgraduate program in periodontics at the University of Texas Health Science Center Dental Branch. Dr. Peto is up to date on the latest technologies and active in dental research. He is also currently clinical faculty at the University of California Los Angeles.

OpenSky Launches New Consumer Website

Share Article

Credit card site offers simple card application process and consumer-friendly credit education for consumers starting out or starting over to build credit

News Image

The OpenSky® Secured Visa® Credit Card debuts its new website today with an updated design and user experience to help consumers understand how credit cards impact their finances. This improved gateway comes at a time when the number of consumers seeking accessible credit is high—nearly 1.5 million households filed for non-business related bankruptcy during 2014, according to U.S. courts bankruptcy filings. At the same time, an estimated 1.6 million students—who typically have little to no credit card history—graduated from four-year colleges according to statistics from the National Association of Colleges and Employers. A person with no (or not-so-good) credit who cannot qualify for a regular credit card can “secure” a card by depositing funds with the card issuer equal to the amount of his or her approved credit limit. This gives individuals an opportunity to build their credit history as a stepping-stone to a more solid financial future.

People starting out or starting over to build/rebuild their credit are looking for a place to begin. The OpenSky website makes it easy to learn the ins and outs of secured credit cards, provides education on establishing and maintaining good credit, and offers a quick, 4-step application process for the highly rated OpenSky card.

“We wanted to create a strong customer experience on the website,” said Nick Bryan, president of OpenSky, a division of Capital Bank, N.A. “Research shows the majority of people apply for the card with mobile devices, so we’ve improved the design to be more responsive to that. And we’ve streamlined the application process. It’s shorter than before, paperless, and more transparent from start to finish including more individual options and a feature that lets people check their application status online.”

The OpenSky Secured Visa Card is a key player in the market space. The number of cardholders doubled in 2014—currently 50,000 cardholders and growing.

Synchronicity Foundation Fosters Modern Meditation Lifestyle

Share Article

Meditate, instead of medicate, to manage and master those moments of the day when it matters most. The new book and the high technology make it practically easy, and virtually cost-free for modern society to stay on the mend.

The book is only the hors-devours. The main entre? “NOW…The Technology”

Winter’s cold unyielding skies above are reflected in the earthly barrenness of the season below. It’s a condition frozen not only in time but also in the climatic words and production of two of Synchronicity Foundation’s 2015 official re-releases: The book, “Awakening from the American Dream”, paired with “NOW…The Technology” balancing tool and modern meditation method. Both are the subject of an on-going, monthly 12-part media series that’ll conclude in February, 2016 to bring a measure of warmth to all.

The discordant, metallic modern-day material world that keeps American society jangling is forthrightly brought into full view in a revelation that jingles across a brief of 24+chapters. Though “…baffled seers cannot impart the secret of its laboring heart…”, as Emerson once put it, the clash of corporate world images is exposed in pure cinematic form. Written from the mind of Modern Spiritual Teacher, Master Charles Cannon, and the pen of wisdom writer, Will Wilkinson, it concisely conveys that Master Charles “has got their number”. To fully appreciate his message, consider its source, the author and man himself.

Master Charles Cannon comes along at a time when the “System” is over-wrought with undue corporate maneuverings, mercilessly hatching schemes to ensnare and control the average layperson. This is the very predicament Aldous L. Huxley tried to expose people to in his “Brave New World”. Master Charles Cannon, like any world-class citizen, emerges to set the record straight and more.

In heroic style, befitting his office, he, once again in his 5th book, kindly and creatively rushes to everyone’s defense. Without shying away from controversy, and in “high-noon showdown” fashion, he verbally rises to the occasion and confronts, if not out-classes, the forces that keep everyone spinning off-balance. Then, in a one-two punch, and in the cool manners of a master spiritual teacher, he follows through with NOW…The Technology, a balancing tool, to restore personal balance in a radical world that’s dead set against it, and master-the-moment.

At the closing of each chapter of the book, he imparts some provocative pearls of wisdom to off-set any collateral damages from the content. He also serves the reader some drops of mentholated thoughts for a thoroughly refreshing, holistic lifestyle experience. Reviewers have sensed that the book works as a personal sanity check for it readers against bargaining away their lives and souls into a corner of inert quietude.

The book is only the hors-devours. The main entre? “NOW…The Technology”. It is audio-sonic, entrainment technology, and it is known to bring many a quality benefit to its users. Participants in this hi-tech meditation-method are seeing results first-hand. Start with any stereophonic sound-speaker system, portable i-Pod, MP3, with headphones, or on-low. Then,Play. Quickly, calmly, at the speed of a falcon plunging deeply down upon its quarry, alpha, theta, delta and subtle gamma frequency patterns, bio-geometrically, and holo-dynamically perform the “synchronicity”. In plainer English, these frequencies entrain, or balance those disturbing, racing, burnout brainwaves, which are so intent on running-away with everyone’s otherwise preferred state of equilibrium.

By book and by technology anyone can derive the multiplier effect of knowledge being boosted by a practical know-how experience.

Cicero reminded the world that “A room without a book, is like a body without a soul”. For winter reading or summer activity, both the book and the technology may be just the prescription for giving the soul a new song to sing.

American Student Loan Center (ASLC) Shares How Legitimate Programs Can Help Resolve the Struggle That Student Loan Borrowers Face

Share Article

American Student Loan Center (ASLC) discusses the options available to borrowers struggling with student loan debt.

News Image
Student loan forgiveness programs are available

American Student Loan Center shares how legitimate federal student loan programs can help qualify borrowers who have student debt for reduced monthly payments and loan forgiveness. Student loan debt in the United States reaches over $1.2 trillion with an average debt of about $33,000 per graduate.

For borrowers who are struggling to pay down their ever growing student debt, these programs bring a new sight of hope. Programs such as the “Public service loan forgiveness program,” “Federal Loan Forgiveness program,” “Student loan consolidation program” and “Student loan rehab program” bring relief to borrowers all over the United States. They may even bring relief to those who have defaulted on their student loan payments and have their wages garnished.

As borrowers may be concerned with many scams out there, the legitimacy of these programs shouldn't be questioned as these federal programs are all backed by the Department of Education (DOE). Borrowers who work for a city, state, federal or non for profit organization may qualify for the public service loan forgiveness program. Borrowers who do not work for one of these organizations may still be eligible for reduced monthly payments and loan forgiveness under programs such as PAYe (Pay As You Earn) IBR (Income Based Repayment) ICR (Income Contingent Repayment).

The issue that most borrowers face upon graduation is that they owe several monthly payments on several student loans. Keeping track of each loan individually is difficult and may lead a borrower to default on their loans. Student loan consolidations programs allow you to combine your debt into one low monthly payment and checks your eligibility for the legit loan forgiveness programs mentioned above.

Lastly, borrowers who have defaulted on their student loans have an opportunity to stop future or current wage garnishment and get back on track through the student loan rehabilitation program. After completion of this program, borrowers are no longer in default status and have a monthly payment they can afford.

Enrollment for these programs is ongoing but it is best to apply as soon as you can to be locked into the program that is suited for you.

Ann Arbor, MI, to Play Key Role in Changing the Face of Leadership in Academic Medicine and Healthcare

Share Article

Linkage's new one-day leadership development experience aims to accelerate the number of women in senior leadership roles

News Image

Linkage, a global leadership development firm, will hold an unprecedented leadership development summit outside Ann Arbor, MI, on March 30th. While women outnumber men in the academic medicine and healthcare industries, men still hold the majority of senior leadership roles. The Leadership Summit for Women: Leading the Future of Healthcare and Academic Medicine is a preliminary step in tipping that scale—providing skills, networking, and dialogue to help accelerate women into leadership positions. More than 400 women from across the United States are expected to attend the inaugural event.

“I can tell you from firsthand experience that the lack of female leaders in the industry is a very real problem,” says Margaret Gyetko, M.D., Senior Associate Dean at the University of Michigan Medical School and Summit co-chair. “As a physician, and as a dean, I have been the only woman in the meeting or at my level for most of my career. I wish I had an opportunity early on to look up and see other women leading the way, to ask questions and learn from them. This gives women that chance. The summit will play a pivotal role in changing the look of leadership in both industries now and into the future.”

The Leadership Summit for Women: Leading the Future of Healthcare and Academic Medicine is a one-day leadership development program designed to address the specific leadership needs of women in the industry. Attendees will experience:

  • In-depth training on effective negotiation skills, leadership presence, and critical competencies for accelerating women leaders
  • Access to a world-class keynote faculty including Amy Cuddy, PhD, Social Psychologist at Harvard Business School; Paula Johnson, MD, Chief of the Division of Women’s Health at Brigham and Women’s Hospital; and award-winning journalist and documentarian Soledad O’Brien
  • The opportunity to meet, network, and share best practices with more than 400 peers in academic medicine and healthcare

Sponsors include local Beaumont Health Systems and the University of Michigan, who were early supporters and sponsors of the Summit. Learn more about this year’s inaugural event at

Linkage works with leaders and leadership teams worldwide to build organizations that produce superior results. For over 25 years, we have delivered on this promise by strategically aligning leadership, talent, and culture within organizations globally. Linkage offers strategic consulting on leadership development and talent management topics, learning institutes, skill-building workshops, tailored assessment services, and executive coaching.

Welcome to PSI

PSI is a community of scholars interested in the study of power, status, and influence. We focus primarily on the individual level of analysis, but we are also interested in how macro-level variables can affect individual behavior. Our aim is to invite scholars from all academic disciplines who share our research interests to join our community. The primary purpose of this website is to publicize and share recent and ongoing research by members of our community and to provide a venue in which individuals begin discussion of common interests. We hope this colloquy will enrich our scholarship and that of our colleagues.

PSI will be hosting its third conference in May 2012 at the Northwestern University, Kellogg Graduate School of Management. Further details can be found on the Conference page.

Telepathy (Article)
by Zeus

Psi moves beyond the transfer of normal thought pattern reception when one moves from empathy to telepathy. Telepathy has different meaning depending on the path followed from transmission and reception of higher thoughts to only transmission of energy-patterned thought between individuals. Pure Energy holds with the latter definition in that telepathic techniques involve the transmission of thought from one individual to another. Telepathy can be divided into several categories depending on the type of transmission medium used and where the thought pattern is aimed at surfacing in the receiving individual’s mind. The most common telepathy is broadcast telepathy, which radiates thoughts from individuals constantly.
Broadcast telepathy occurs naturally as excess energy is radiated from the body. Surface thoughts, emotions, etc. are radiated from the body thought the need to transfer energy out. With broadcast telepathy the individual initiating the technique acts similar to a radio transmission tower. The signal is broadcast from the individual in all direction to interact with surrounding universal energy. Once the broadcast telepathy energy has left the body it is open to reception by other sensitive people, so it should be ensured that what is broadcast is monitored, or that specific shields are created to minimize broadcasting. Broadcasting may also take on a less passive manner through Directed Broadcast Telepathy (DBT). With DBT the radiated thought energy is sent specifically at another individual, or group. While DBT is still publicly accessible it is more likely another person that is not paying attention to radiated energies will receive the information since more energy will interact with their personal energy. Though broadcast telepathy works there are limitations to its use because of idealized range degradation and lack of privacy. In order to increase the effectiveness of telepathy a person should move to a connected telepathic technique.
The simplest form of connection telepathy is termed Surface Telepathy. In surface telepathy a person creates a consented connection to another person and visualizes transmission of simplistic thought patterns along the connection. With this technique only the person connected to receives the information, so that privacy is enhanced. As well, since the pattern is intended for one person there is generally less degradation of information along the connection. Unfortunately with this technique there is a limit to the volume and complexity of thoughts one is able to convey. To overcome these boundaries a person should use Deep Telepathy techniques.
Deep Telepathy differs from simple telepathy in that instead of the connection being to anywhere on a person’s body the visualized connection is made directly to another individual’s Psi Control Centre (PCC). With this technique more complex ideas, or normalized thoughts, may be conveyed. Since deep telepathy connects directly to the PCC there is also the added benefit of having less chance of garbling, or misunderstanding the message sent. Of course connected telepathy techniques may be enhanced should an individual wish to.
Connected telepathy techniques may be twinned with their corresponding connected empathy technique to enhance the effect of use. In cases where twinning occurs the resulting technique is often referred to simply by the telepathy name since it is considered the more difficult technique. It should be noted that there is a True Telepathy technique; however it is not to be used by those not familiar with its understanding because of energetic characteristic dangers.
Telepathic connections may be enhanced with shields, or filters as with any connection. Overall telepathy is a very useful technique in an individual’s psi portfolio.
