Powell Ohio Family Dentist Addresses Implants Versus Other Options

Powell family dentist Dr. Jerry Cheung serves patients throughout the Columbus, Ohio area, taking on some of the most complicated cases in dental work. To help educate patients on dental options, the Powell Ohio Dentist released a Public Service Announcement on the benefits of implants versus other dental options.

Columbus, Ohio (PRWEB) July 18, 2016

Powell family dentist, Dr. Jerry Cheung, works with patients throughout the Columbus, Ohio area, on some of the more complicated cases dental cases. Dr. Cheung, an expert and advocate in dentistry, pediatric dentistry, oral medicine, and sedation, shares his knowledge and experience to help educate patients on dental options. In a recent PSA, the Powell Ohio emergency dentist addresses the benefits of implants versus other dental options.

Dr. Cheung writes, “For the right candidates, oral implants are the best and closest thing we have to natural teeth. Implants help to prevent bone loss and allows for natural feedback upon chewing along the jaw. Replacing missing teeth helps to prevent later issues that could impact systemic health, along with protecting the condition of your other teeth. Teeth that remain unreplaced can cause loss of other teeth, chipping or crowding in the mouth, creating even more issues.”

In addition to this guidance, the Powell emergency dentist offers the following:

  • Dental implants are a long-term solution as opposed to traditional, tooth-supported dental bridges. Bridges truly only last five to seven years, possibly 10 years if cared for appropriately, but ultimately must be replaced. Dental implants sometime require periodic adjustments, but generally last a lifetime.
  • Dental implants help to retain the shape of your face. Missing teeth can cause the skin around the mouth and jaw to sag or appear sunken in. Dental help to sustain the natural shape of your face and smile.
  • Dental implants help to protect healthy bone and other teeth in the mouth. Unfortunately, empty spaces in the mouth can lead to future health issues, including gradual loss and deterioration of the jawbone. Dental implants are the sole dental restoration option available to preserve and stimulate the bone. Filling gaps also helps protect the bite and other teeth in the mouth.
  • Dental implants are often preferable to patients, when offered the option of dentures. Dentures can be lost, slip, and cause speaking issues, whereas dental implants are a permanent solution and can be treated and cared for as one would a natural tooth.

According the Dr. Cheung, “The up-front cost can be an issue for some patients, but long term serviceability of an implant is well worth the investment for future oral health. Most dentists will work with patients to finance this kind of dental work. Be sure to use your general dentist as you first stop for determining if implants are right for you. If you’re looking for a dentist, seek out one with these credentials: periodontists, prosthodontists and oral surgeons who perform the surgical and/or restorative procedures.”

The dentist adds, “We at Bright Smile have specialized training and treatment programs that address complex implant cases. Often, we refer our surgeries out to a skilled surgeon and then quarterback the placement to allow maximum aesthetic and functional result with a dental implant. We really can do beautiful things with today’s implant process.”

Festo exhibits a benchtop Cartesian robot with innovative microfluidic dosing head and other active demonstrations and static displays of clinical automation.

Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

Festo features at AACC 2016, July 31- Aug. 4 in Philadelphia, the company’s automation solutions for clinical diagnostic equipment. Festo automation lowers manufacturer engineering costs and boosts diagnostic speed and overall performance. (Festo AACC Booth #3939)

Equipment manufacturers partnering with Festo typically bring products to market faster. As a case in point, Rheonix, Inc. representatives will be in the Festo booth discussing the impact of Festo automation and productivity programs on the development of the company’s EncompassMDx™ system – a one-stop solution for molecular diagnostic assays. The EncompassMDx automates sample preparation designed to isolate DNA and RNA from a variety of samples. Its detection capabilities combine the capacity of a microarray with the speed and resolution of qPCR in one unit.

In collaboration with New York University College of Dentistry (NYUCD), Rheonix has received funding to develop a rapid diagnostic capability for the Zika virus. The grant will allow the Rheonix/NYUCD team to pursue the development of a fully automated screening and self-confirming assay that will simultaneously detect and confirm the presence of Zika virus in a single small sample of saliva or blood. The proposed approach builds upon previous success in which the Rheonix/NYUCD team developed a dual assay for the simultaneous detection of HIV antibodies and viral RNA in a single specimen.

Festo automation on display

The EXCM is a compact Cartesian handling system for clinical automation and is one of a number of Festo systems on display at AACC. An active demonstration at AACC features the Mini-H gantry with a Z telescope slide axis for microfluidic dosing. Another Festo demonstration simulates the transfer of whole blood from the specimen to an analysis chip within a small footprint device. In this demo, a gripper removes a vial from a tray and transfers it to an integrated rotary gripping unit. The system’s camera reads a barcode and approves eligibility for testing. This demo features the Festo CPX control system, which reduces the complexity of control and motion integration.

Festo also highlights the Single Axis Variable Pitch Module (SVPM). The SVPM with up to eight pipettes can aspirate or dispense from a 96 well plate, then expand to a different pitch to aspirate or dispense into a large variety of fluid containers such as tubes, chips, or vials.

AquaJellies at AACC

The AquaJellies from the Festo Bionic Learning Network are artificial, autonomous jellyfish with electric drives and intelligent, adaptive mechanical systems. AACC attendees will see the bionic jellyfish in their new 500 gallon/1,900 liter tank. The movements of the AquaJellies come as close as possible to simulating jellyfish undulating through the world’s oceans. The integrated communication and sensor technology plus the real-time diagnostics enable coordinated, collective behavior among AquaJellies even in a limited space. Developments in the Festo Bionic Learning network inspire innovations in automation.

Be sure to stop by the Festo Booth #3939 at AACC 2016 to see the various active demonstrations, static displays, and the Rheonix one-stop solution for molecular diagnostic assays. And for more information on Festo clinical laboratory automation solutions, call Festo at 800-993-3786 and visit http://www.festo.com/us.

The 10K Run, 5K Run/Walk and Kids Dash is expected to bring together more than 1,400 runners and walkers to Woodinville Wine Country to raise money for uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

WOODINVILLE, Wash. (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

Now in its 10th consecutive year, the Columbia Winery Charity Run & Walk will be held at Columbia Winery on Saturday August 20, 2016.The 10K Run, 5K Run/Walk and Kids Dash is expected to bring together more than 1,400 runners and walkers to Woodinville Wine Country to raise money for uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Seattle Children’s Hospital is committed to providing excellent pediatric care for all children regardless of their family’s financial situation. It is estimated that the need for uncompensated care funding will exceed $120 million in 2016. Of the more than 100,000 patients treated at Children’s each year, 65 percent need financial assistance.

“Raising funds for uncompensated care is critical in helping ensure that all children, regardless of their family’s ability to pay, have access to the world-class care at Seattle Children’s Hospital,” said Aileen Kelly, Executive Director of the Seattle Children’s Hospital Guild Association. “Because of the generous support of Columbia Winery and the contributions from the thousands of participants over the last 11 years of this annual event, we are able to help meet this ever-growing need. I am continually honored and inspired by the support our community shows for the patients of Seattle Children’s Hospital.”

The Columbia Winery Charity Run & Walk has been a cornerstone piece of the 29th Annual Auction of Washington Wines for more than a decade. Taking place over four days, the Auction of Washington Wines is dedicated to promoting Washington State wine while hosting the Northwest region’s most prestigious charity wine event. The weekend culminates with The Winemaker Gala grand finale event on Saturday night.

The Columbia Winery Charity Run & Walk is organized by the Run for Children’s Guild and is supported by KING 5, a local broadcast media company and NBC affiliate, to provide financial support for uncompensated care at Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Throughout their participation, the Columbia Winery has helped generate more than $800,000 to benefit Seattle Children’s Hospital, and has a goal of raising an additional $100,000 in 2016. In addition to hosting the Columbia Winery Charity Run & Walk, Columbia Winery will also donate $4 per case (up to $35,000) of wine sold in Oregon and Washington from July 1 through August 31 to support uncompensated care.

“Every year, I am humbled by all those who dedicate themselves to supporting Seattle Children’s Hospital through the Columbia Winery Run & Walk,” said Columbia Winery winemaker Sean Hails. “For this event to be successful, we know we’ve inspired our community to devote their time and talent to this important cause. I look forward to congratulating all the participants, their families and their supporters at the finish line or as they celebrate with us at the winery afterward.”

The race begins and ends at Columbia Winery, with a route traveling through the heart of Woodinville Wine Country. Afterward, all are invited to enjoy live music and delicious food specially prepared for the event. Additionally, participants who present their race number are invited to enjoy discounts at the tasting room.

David Beals Charitable Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, endows assistant conductor position

Kansas City, Mo. (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

The Kansas City Symphony has received a $2.7 million donation from the remainder of the David T. Beals III Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee, to endow the assistant conductor position, henceforth named the David T. Beals III Chair.

This generous gift helps the Symphony sustain its remarkable success, secure its financial future and ensure its ability to serve the Kansas City community with world-class symphonic music. Each year, the Kansas City Symphony touches the lives of more than 1 million people through its many concerts, programs, events and media broadcasts.

“We are humbled that the David Beals Trust is supporting the Kansas City Symphony in such a profound way,” said Symphony Executive Director Frank Byrne. “This inspiring gesture reflects David Beals’ exceptional philanthropic spirit, a legacy that now will live on in perpetuity through the Symphony’s work in Helzberg Hall and throughout our community.”

The David T. Beals III Assistant Conductor is an important and influential role at the Symphony, leading all pops, family, holiday, special and Classics Uncorked concerts each season. Additionally, the assistant conductor helps design the Symphony’s education programs and conducts the orchestra for many prominent community events such as Pops in the Park on Labor Day and Symphony in the Flint Hills “Signature Event” in June.

After a series of rigorous auditions, the Kansas City Symphony appointed Jason Seber to the David T. Beals III Assistant Conductor position in December 2015. Seber officially will begin his post this fall. Seber succeeds Aram Demirjian, who was with the Symphony for four seasons.

A lifelong resident of Kansas City, David T. Beals III was a strong patron of the arts.

Symphony Board Chair William Lyons expressed his deepest appreciation as well.

“We are so honored to be able to celebrate the legacy of David Beals through this transformational gift,” Lyons said. “Our Assistant Conductor leads many of the most important things we do with respect to education, families, audience development, and special events. The permanent funding provided by the Beals Trust is truly a gift to the whole community.”

Tennessee Court Reporting Firm Leverages Technology with Real-Time Reporting Capability

Elite Reporting Services Says Real-Time Court Reporting Allows for Ease and Accuracy

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

Tennessee Court Reporting Firm, Elite Reporting Services, now offers realtime reporting to make depositions easier for clients, court reporters, and the courts.

Real-time court reporting offers many benefits to attorneys, law firms and courtrooms with busy docket schedules. Court reporters are dedicated to providing accurate legal records and court reporters are indispensable to the United States legal system because of the high value of the technology solutions offered by real-time reporting.

During a deposition, relying on previous methods meant that it could be challenging for attorneys to review the transcripts quickly. It was also challenging if there were any points of confusion in the transcript, as this may have required back and forth. That’s why technology is now being leveraged with real-time reporting. This allows court reporters to capture information as it is happening, giving relevant stakeholders the chance to review it instantly, rather than days or weeks later.

Real-time reporting, unlike past methods, enhances a reporter’s productivity while still delivering the written transcripts desired by lawyers and courts. Attorneys can have access to a very good instantaneous feed of testimony. Everyone benefits from real-time reporting when it’s offered by a court reporting service.

A court reporter showing up in person or working remotely uses sophisticated Computer Aided Transcription (CAT) software in order to provide clients, attorneys, and judges with easily understood instant transcripts instead of the raw steno language that is actually taken down by the court reporter. No other technology comes close to this. Court systems in recent years have struggled to keep their costs under control, but real-time court reporting, especially with use of web conferencing or video conferencing, makes things easier for all.

Andrew Menke is Waterford's second Head of School. Menke was unanimously elected by Waterford's Board of Trustees to succeed Founding Head of School Nancy Heuston. Menke arrives at Waterford with 27 years of experience in education.

Sandy, UT (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

The Waterford School welcomed Andrew Menke as its new Head of School on July 5, 2016. Menke succeeds Interim Head of School Dr. Brandon Bennett and Founding Head of School Nancy Heuston, who retired after 33 years of service in 2015.

The Waterford School was founded in 1981 by Nancy and Dustin Heuston with the purpose of providing liberal arts, college preparatory education for students in Preschool through Grade 12.

Menke was selected with unanimous agreement of the Waterford School Board of Trustees and the Head of School Search Committee.

“Throughout the search process we were impressed by Andrew’s broad-based experience as a previous Head of School, his personable, collaborative style of leadership, and his deep excitement for coming to Waterford,” remarked Waterford Board of Trustees Chair Ron Mika. “Andrew is fully committed to the liberal arts and has the essential qualities necessary to preserve the mission, values and priorities of the Waterford School. One of the most important qualifications for our Head of School is that he will relish the opportunity to join the Waterford School community. We are thrilled that Andrew meets all of these qualifications.”

Menke arrives at Waterford after serving as the Head of New Hampton School in New Hampton, New Hampshire for the past eleven years. During his time at New Hampton School, Menke led a comprehensive strategic planning effort that resulted in a $42M capital fundraising campaign and a doubling of the school’s endowment. He guided the school through the adoption of the International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma progamme, introduced a 1:1 iPad program, which earned the School an Apple Distinguished School Award in 2013 and 2014, and positioned New Hampton as a school devoted to cultivating active, global citizens and lifelong learners.

“Waterford is a vibrant learning community filled with exceptionally talented students and a remarkable faculty,” says Menke. “The School’s steadfast commitment to the depth and breadth of the liberal arts experience is so vital in today’s interconnected and interdependent global community.”

Andrew Menke has spent his entire career in education. He has served three different independent schools for the last 27 years as an English teacher, coach, advisor, admissions and development director and, for the past 17 years, as a school head. He first served as Head of School at the Colorado Rocky Mountain School before serving as Head of New Hampton School.

Andrew holds a BA from Towson University and MA from Dartmouth College. Andrew’s wife, Jennifer, is a physical therapist. The Menkes have two children — Anna, a recent graduate of Princeton University, and Auden, a freshman at the University of Notre Dame.

Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard—this summer’s #1 science fiction book and audiobook in the US—will be a feature title at this year’s Comic-Con International.

Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) July 19, 2016

Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000 by L. Ron Hubbard—this summer’s #1 science fiction book and audiobook in the US—will be a feature title at this year’s Comic-Con International, it was announced by Terl, the alien security chief and central villain, who will be attending SDCC. This statement was confirmed by Galaxy Press President, John Goodwin.

Terl, who has been traveling the world on a campaign to promote “his” book, will be attending SDCC this coming Friday, Saturday and Sunday. While Terl was found at these sightings to be repeating over and over that “Man was an endangered species,” the now famous opening line of Battlefield Earth: A Saga of the Year 3000, Terl will also be available for photo opportunities, one of his favorite activities when not collecting leverage on his associates.

Goodwin noted, “The new book edition of Battlefield Earth features an additional 50 pages of content, including author handwritten notes, something fans had stated they wanted.” In addition to the author notes, the 50 pages includes a 20 page interview of Mr. Hubbard conducted by the Rocky Mountain News when the book was initially released. Goodwin concluded, “The newly recorded 47 ½ hour long audiobook has simply raised the bar on audiobook productions with 67 actors, 3 hours of original music, and over 150,000 sound effects, making this a true movie of the mind.”

Battlefield Earth was written by L. Ron Hubbard in celebration of 50 years as a professional writer. It is a swashbuckling science fiction saga of adventure, daring, and courage, when man is an endangered species and the future survival of what's left of the human race is at stake.

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most acclaimed and widely read authors of our time. In celebration of his fiftieth anniversary as an author, he again returned to the forefront of popular literature with his monumental epics Battlefield Earth and the ten-volume Mission Earth series. Together, these titles dominated international bestseller lists for 153 weeks, and still remain among the all-time classic works of modern speculative fiction.

Save for Retirement While Still Spending On Lattes – Jim Hitt Reacts with Hints About Using a Self-Directed IRA

$

A recent article in USA Today debunked the myth of coffee-shop frugality as a method of saving for retirement. In his response, Jim Hitt of American IRA explains why using a Self-Directed IRA may be the best method of all.

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) July 20, 2016

A recent article in USA Today authored by Maurie Backman of the Motley Fool explained how big changes, not small changes, add up to a lot of retirement savings in the long-haul. This helped to debunk the popular idea that one has to give up their “daily latte” in order to retire in prosperity.

But put a caveat on that, argues Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA in Asheville, NC. “Although it’s a good idea to try to find big savings with housing costs and the like, you don’t always have to make big sacrifices, either,” said Jim Hitt.

Instead, Jim Hitt pointed out that tax-protected retirement accounts are often the key to finding the kind of wealth-building that retirement investors need. “Saving money doesn’t just mean looking at your home or your car,” said Jim Hitt. “It can also mean saving money by avoiding all of the wealth management and fees associated with traditional investment advice, much of which is simply outdated.”

Self-Directed IRAs can be utilized in order to invest in real estate, precious metals, private companies, and more—all of which can grow in tax-protected retirement accounts, just as they can be used to protect stock market investments. According to Jim Hitt, the recent USA Today article failed to highlight how directing one’s own investments can save a lot of money over the long-term—reducing the need to sacrifice in the present.

“Too many people believe they have to sacrifice all of their current lifestyle to enjoy a prosperous retirement,” said Jim Hitt. “That’s not the case with everyone. Some simply need the right knowledge applied at the right time in order to utilize plenty of savings for retirement.”

Extensive range of architectural revolving doors, security revolving doors and turnstiles now on largest public BIM library in the Americas

Lillington, NC (PRWEB) July 20, 2016

Boon Edam Inc., a global leader in security entrances and architectural revolving doors, today announced that its entrance solutions are now available to architects, designers and contractors as Building Information Modeling (BIM) files on the Autodesk Seek library at seek.autodesk.com. Boon Edam Inc.’s BIM files have also been updated and optimized for use with Autodesk Revit software in North, Central and South America.

About BIM
BIM is an intelligent, model-based process that helps make design, engineering, project, and operational information more accurate, accessible and actionable for buildings and infrastructure projects. Project teams can create and share a data rich model and use the same consistent data to improve understanding and decision making from conceptual design through construction documentation and for operations and maintenance. BIM also helps in attaining estimates of various other factors, such as cost implementation, time and labor requirements, raw material provisioning, and other key construction industry prerequisites. Management of the entire construction lifecycle, from planning to demolition, can be simulated by BIM.

According to a report published in December 2015 by Transparency Market Research ("Building Information Modeling (BIM) Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2015-2022), the global BIM market was worth $2.76 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach $11.54 billion by 2022. This represents a CAGR of 19.1% through 2022. The report also found that North America was the largest market for BIM in 2014.The full report can be accessed here.

Features of Boon Edam Inc. BIM
Designers who use Boon Edam’s BIM files can simply select a product and download the family file (.rfa) into their own network folder. The user can then easily choose a revolving door of a certain size and drag and drop it into a wall of the building model. Optical turnstiles can be dropped into a floor position. All products can be shown in plan view or 3-D view and offer detailed company, product and specification data.

Optical turnstiles can be challenging due to the different types of cabinets needed to build an array correctly. Boon Edam’s BIM files solve this challenge by providing a simple array of turnstiles by default, which can then be easily modified by changing the number of standard lanes and wide lanes. A handy library of available finishes or colors, as well as glass or barrier options makes customization possible in just a few clicks of a mouse.

Support for BIM Users
Boon Edam Inc. will offer a support service dedicated to answering questions about accessing and manipulating its BIM models. Customers can contact sales@boonedam.us to use this special service.

8118 Dental Professionals, Leading Austin, TX Dentists, Replace Missing Teeth with Innovative Dental Implant Technique

Trusted Austin, TX dentists, Drs. Tana Busch, Jason Carlyon and Kevin Deutsch, now accept new patients without a referral for full arch dental implants at their Austin practice. The team at 8118 Dental Professionals has been dedicated to providing the latest technology and techniques for patients for almost 40 years, including those with missing teeth in need of a long-term tooth replacement option.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) July 20, 2016

Individuals with failing or missing teeth in Austin, TX can now schedule an appointment to replace a full arch of teeth with immediate load dental implants with Drs. Tana Busch, Jason Carlyon and Kevin Deutsch, without first receiving a referral. Dr. Busch, an authority in her field, and the entire 8118 Dental Professionals team, have always been on the forefront of new developments in dentistry and strive to deliver a full array of quality dental services to their patients in a comfortable setting, including implant dentistry. Often compared to All-on-4®, full arch replacements using immediate load implants is a procedure many patients prefer because it is an affordable and comfortable way to replace an entire row of teeth with a customized prosthetic bridge.

The American Academy of Implant Dentistry estimates that over 30 million Americans are missing a full arch of teeth in their upper or lower jaws. Many others suffer with cracked, broken or failing teeth that require removal. Of the tooth replacement solutions available, the only procedure that offers a long-term, natural feel, function and look, are dental implants. Unlike single implants which can become expensive when used to replace multiple teeth, the advanced tooth replacement method used by 8118 Dental Professionals is commonly offered to replace one or more full arches while utilizing only four or more strategically-placed implants in each arch. In choosing this immediate load tooth replacement method, patients can receive an entirely new set of permanent teeth within a single day.

In order to provide patients with the latest techniques and technology available, the team at 8118 Dental Professionals utilize the Galileos Cone Beam 3D X-ray CT scanner with each implant case. This technology captures hundreds of 3D images of the face and jaw to carefully create treatment plans, prepare for implant procedures and precisely determine the most effective location for implant placement. Using this technology, Drs. Busch, Carlyon and Deutsch are able to provide highly individualized care for improved health and quality of life.

To further stay on the cutting-edge of implant technology, Dr. Busch recently attended a Guided Full Arch Immediate Implant Reconstruction course at the revered Pikos Institute. This course provided a more in-depth look at the advantages of Same Day Teeth® and All-on-4® procedures. She attended this course in order to provide this valuable service to her patients not only to restore their function, health and smile, but also so that 8118 Dental Professionals could offer a lifetime of ongoing care to every patient in one place.

Those with multiple failing or missing teeth interested in replacing a full row of teeth with four or more dental implants in Austin, TX, can visit the 8118 Dental Professionals website to learn more, or call (512) 872-3658 to schedule an appointment with Drs. Busch, Carlyon or Deutsch.

About the Practice

8118 Dental Professionals is a general dental practice that has been providing personalized, compassionate dental care to patients in Austin, TX for almost 40 years. Drs. Tana Busch, Jason Carlyon and Kevin Deutsch offer a variety of quality dental services including cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, oral surgery and prosthodontics and strive to always be on the cutting-edge of their field.
