Latest Cone Beam CT and Dental Laser Tool Makes Surgery More Comfortable and Less Invasive

Dr. Timothy Kosinski introduced intra-oral cancer screening with Velscope technology that is used to assist dentists in discovering cancerous or pre-cancerous growths in patients 18 and older that may not be apparent to the naked eye.

Bingham Farms, Michigan, USA (December 24, 2014) -- As the SmileCreator of Bingham Farms, Dr. Timothy Kosinski is recognized as a leader in making available the latest in technology and implant procedures to patients in Southeast Michigan. Dr. Timothy Kosinski introduced intra-oral cancer screening with Velscope technology that is used to assist dentists in discovering cancerous or pre-cancerous growths in patients 18 and older that may not be apparent to the naked eye.

Before that, Dr. Kosinski introduced into his practice CAD/CAM technology which made digital impressions easier on his patients and allows for computer fabrication of crowns and bridges. Now CT diagnosis, using the latest CT scanning equipment visualize the mouth area in three dimensions and simulates the surgical placement of dental implants in the proper position prior to ever touching the patient.

A new CO2 dental laser added into Dr. Kosinski's practice makes possible a minimally invasive approach to surgery without using a blade which controls bleeding and minimizes post-operative complications and reduced patient discomfort after surgery. The CO2 dental laser also decontaminates the site, reducing the risk of infection.

"The CO2 is the most used laser in medicine and now is available for my use in dental surgery," says Dr. Kosinski, "and we have much faster healing compared to traditional surgery methods." (Watch Demonstration here: https://www.njvid.net/showvideo.php?pid=njcore:52380)

"Our new VaTech Cone Beam CT is a green machine -- limiting hazardous materials from being integrated into the device, thus creating a low environmental impact," says Kosinski. "The CT has ultra-low dose X-ray technology and has a rapid 5.9 second scan. It is nice to have this amazing technology right here in my office, for all our patients' needs."

Dr. Kosinski is still looking for individuals who are willing to be evaluated to see if they are eligible for dental implants at greatly reduced prices. Dr. Kosinski is looking for 40 patients to be involved in his teaching program for doctors learning his techniques in implant dentistry.

Candidates must be missing upper or lower back teeth and have no uncontrolled medical problems. A no-fee evaluation will be completed to determine if they are candidates for this teaching program.

Once selected, the individuals will receive a dental implant and abutment for $699 - an incredible $1,500 savings. After healing, a crown over the implant will be created by Dr. Kosinski, also for a reduced fee. All patients accepted in this program will receive a CT scan, or three dimensional X-ray to idealize their situation, at no fee (a $450 savings).

Those interested in the reduced implant procedure should contact Dr. Kosinski's office, SmileCreator of Bingham Farms at 248-646-8651 to schedule a free, no cost or obligation appointment.

Dr. Kosinski is a Dental Practitioner who has established himself in the dental implant field and has trained hundreds of professional dentists and dental students in the best techniques for successful implants. Dr. Kosinski has placed well over 10,000 dental implants in his dental career and did nearly 1,000 implants last year alone.

The implants at greatly reduced prices are offered because Dr. Kosinski participates in a dental training program he offers in cooperation with the Engel Institute led by Dr. Todd Engel. Professional dentists will come to Dr. Kosinski's office to be trained and under his mentoring will perform implant surgery on select patients.

As important for his general dentistry patients, Dr. Kosinski's team has also made available electric toothbrushes like the Pro Health System from Crest and Oral B because electric brushes are far more effective in eliminating gingivitis than normal brushing - removing 100 percent more plaque than manual brushing.

The SmileCreator of Bingham Farms office is located at: 31000 Telegraph Rd., Suite 170, Bingham Farms, MI 48025. For more information visit: http://www.SmileCreator.Net.

"The Glow of Paris is a Spectacular Collection of Photos" Ross Rojek, San Francisco Book Review

Accompanied by a fascinating historical portrayal, the book presents a unique and aesthetic vision of Paris because no one else has ever photographed and written about the bridges that cross the Seine in this way.

New York, NY, USA (December 22, 2014) -- Most Parisians will be shocked by the unnoticed and unheralded beauty of the bridges across the Seine River that they cross over in the city every day.

That's because very few Paris residents have witnessed the stunning beauty of the bridges at night as displayed in a one-of-a-kind book of black and white photos of the 35 bridges crossing the Seine in city limits as captured by Gary Zuercher.

Zuercher spent five years photographing the 35 bridges at night during the winter months and another year researching the history of the bridges, gathering anecdotes, printing and assembling the prints to put to press the recently published The Glow of Paris: The Bridges of Paris at Night (ISBN 978-0-9906309-0-6, Marcorp Editions, 2014, 208 pages, $49.95, available on Amazon and at: http://www.marcorp-editions.com.

The Glow of Paris is an eclectic collection of extraordinary gelatin-silver photographic prints of the bridges of Paris - nighttime images that are breathtaking. Accompanied by a fascinating historical portrayal, the book presents a unique and aesthetic vision of Paris because no one else has ever photographed and written about the bridges that cross the Seine in this way.

"For the most part Parisians take these architectural wonders for granted, relying on their functionality to get them where they want to go each day," says author Zuercher. "They don't appreciate the beauty because most don't see the glow of the bridges at night. And most have forgotten that from Julius Caesar to Princess Diana, the bridges of Paris have played in important role in history."

The fascinating narrative that accompanies the artistic black and white photos includes historical facts and little known tidbits about the bridge, such as:

The history of these bridges precede the birth of Christ. In 52 BC Julius Caesar conquered Paris; the earliest recorded mention of the bridges is found in Caesar's Gallic War commentaries. Most of the later history evolves from around the time of the Middle Ages and thereafter.

On the morning of October 3, 1943, an aircraft hit the Pont de Tolbiac Bridge and crashed into the Seine, killing the four Frenchmen on board. The four were members of the Free French Air Force who had flown from an airfield in England to participate in the allied bombing of a power station outside of Paris.

Bridges constructed prior to the late eighteenth century normally had houses and shops built directly on them. Floods, ice floes, fires, boat collisions, and structural failures frequently destroyed the bridges. The collapsing bridges took the houses and shops down with them, and often their occupants as well. In 1769 Louis XV finally outlawed the construction of houses on the bridges, but it took until 1808 for the last building to be removed.

The Pont des Arts seems to have the densest proliferation of locks, perhaps because of the French adage that roughly translates as "a lock on the Pont des Arts is your commitment for life and a lock on the Pont de l'ArchevĂȘchĂ© is your commitment to your lover." It is estimated that more than 250,000 are attached to the Pont des Arts. According to the newspaper Le Figaro, the weight of the locks is 300 kilos per lineal meter. That equals 205,207 pounds, a considerable weight for the bridge to bear. From time to time the guardrail fence starts to fail under the weight and has to be replaced, at which point the locks are simply thrown away.

The name of the Pont au Change Bridge comes from the time of Louis VII (1137-1180), who in 1141 ordered the moneychangers to locate on the bridge. This allowed visitors entering the city to change money there. In 1304 Philippe le Bel (1268-1314) authorized gold and silver dealers to join the moneychangers on the bridge.

Early on, the Pont Neuf was the center of a permanent fair, a meeting point for all the sophisticated as well as the vulgar pleasures of the capital. At any moment you would find street performers-acrobats, fire-eaters, and musicians- charlatans and quacks, as well as hustlers and pickpockets, not to mention a lively trade in prostitution. Among the many businesses were several famous "tooth pullers."

"This information will be of great interest to not only tourists and historians but also to Parisians who have limited knowledge of the 35 bridges in their city and are surprised at the number of islands in the Seine, (three not two)" says Zuercher. "There is a great deal of truth in the words of author Monique Marty who wrote of the bridges - 'They are the extension of the streets, the hyphens between the two river banks. We cross them on foot, by car, by Metro. We see them without looking at them and that's a shame'."

Zuercher, an artist in the darkroom as well as behind the lens, lives half a year in Paris and the other half in Washington, D.C. He develops the film into negatives in Paris and then makes the prints in the D.C. darkroom. Often he would make 20 to 30 prints before coming up with just the right photo for his book. The results of his work prove what was written by Ansel Adams, "The negative is like the score of the music and the print is like the performance".

The stories related to the project are rich enough to fill another book, such as the time he was refused access to a church roof to photograph an aerial shot because he could not be there while the nuns were sleeping. Or when he had to use mountain climbing equipment and the aid of city firefighters to climb to the top of city hall to shoot seven bridges from the air. Or when young thugs threatened him while Zuercher was working at night but were defused when he offered to take their pictures and email it to them.

Limited Edition: Along with a signed copy of the book, a gelatin silver photographic print of the "Seven Bridges" featured on the book's cover, hand made to museum archival standards, will be available in limited quantity, signed by Gary Zuercher, mounted on 16" x 20" acid free mat board and ready for framing. For more information visit http://www.marcorp-editions.com.

About Gary Zuercher
In addition to being a professional photographer and successful businessman, Zuercher is a commercial pilot with more than 2,000 hours of flight time. He held the patent for wave pools and his equipment was used in hundreds of wave pools in the U.S. He also was a pioneer in spraygrounds at public recreation sites and for both accomplishments he was elected to the Waterpark Association Hall of Fame. Zuercher spent five years photographing the bridges of Paris at night and another year in historical research for his book. He divides his time between homes in Paris and Washington, DC with his wife Dominique who is French.

Lily Nava is now in the Gallery's Artist Showcase

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce Lily Nava has been named the gallery's latest featured artist.

Jupiter, FL, USA (December 18, 2014) -- Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce Lily Nava has been named the gallery's latest featured artist. She will now be shown in and promoted in the gallery's Artist Showcase.

Lily is an accomplished, self-taught, visionary artist currently residing in Southern California. Her art work is transformative and filled with the intangibles of her emotions through color, movement and luminosity. Her paintings are charged with positive energy, while expressing an overwhelming sense of tranquility. Viewers are transported to mystical, light filled, other-worldly dreamscapes, where they become the story teller, as they linger inside the images, seeking answers to their own life's questions.

Her works are influenced by the Fusionart style of painting, which is founded in European painting technology. What is poured onto her canvas is the emotional and spiritual energy of the artist, fusing with whatever is longing to be expressed. Since 2010, Lily's images have been juried into humanitarian artist calls such as "The Peace Project" which is curated by the Whole 9 Gallery in Los Angeles. She donates her images every year to raise funds to elevate world peace, assist humanity and build communities.

Her "earthly" art won over the juror panel at "Sustainable Silicon Valley" Art Expo", held at NASA Research Center in Mountain View, CA, which called on artists to submit images for planetary sustainability; she has been invited back every year since 2013 to have her images included in the ongoing building of the vision for planetary solutions.

Her works have been exhibited and collected across the USA. To see more of Lily's works, visit her website at http://www.lilynavagallery.com.

A "Baby Shower Fit for a Princess" Arranged by Edgar Perez, The Speed Traders, for Wife Olga

Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders, arranged "a baby shower to remember" for wife Olga as they gear to welcome their second child on January 2015.

New York, NY, USA (December 10, 2014) -- Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders, arranged a baby shower for his wife Olga this past Sunday; as attendees to the event described it, the party was a "baby shower fit for a princess." The party, hosted at their residence in Lindenhurst, New York, had a pink theme overall and there were "pink flowers decorations, pink-themed covered walls and a huge white and pink cake." Guests went on further to describe the cake as gold type with traditional butter cream icing.

It sure looked like Olga's baby shower couldn't get too cute and pretty enough. But there's another very cute thing about it; the games were to die for, as it can be seen through Perez's Facebook page: http://on.fb.me/15Z41Mx. Creating the tallest cup tower, picking baby items while wearing a blindfold, and other classic games captured the attendees' imagination.

Olga is just six weeks away from welcoming another future author, as Perez likes to point; the couple welcomed their first child, Edgar Felipe, early this year. A guest commented, "I'm not sure Edgar Felipe understands that Olga is pregnant. But they are talking to him about having a little sister. They're making sure he's prepared the best they can."

Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert and speaker in electronic and high-frequency trading. He is author of Knightmare on Wall Street, a minute-by-minute account of the terrifying hours following Knight Capital's August 1, 2012 trading debacle, and The Speed Traders, the pioneering global introduction to the world of high-frequency trading. Perez was a vice president at Citigroup, a consultant at IBM, and a strategist at McKinsey & Co. in New York City.

United Way Launches Holiday Gift Drive to Support Bay Area Families and Seniors in Need

LIVE UNITED Holiday Campaign Kicks Off in Time for Thanksgiving and Giving Tuesday.

San Francisco, CA, USA (November 25, 2014) -- United Way of the Bay Area today announced the launch of its LIVE UNITED holiday campaign, including a gift drive for individuals, community organizations and businesses that want to support local families in need. The poverty-fighting organization has also released a toolkit to support gift drive participants, which includes a list of most-needed items, suggestions for getting others involved and instructions for dropping off the gift bags.

"At United Way, we talk a lot about what it means to LIVE UNITED-especially during the holidays. For us, it's about doing our part to support those in need throughout our community. Volunteering is an easy and fun way to help-and spread holiday cheer," said Sarah Burton, Director of Volunteer Engagement.

The holiday gift bag drive invites community members to LIVE UNITED by supporting low-income children, families and seniors across the San Francisco Bay Area. Participants are encouraged to get family members and friends involved in the collection of items by requesting houseguests to bring one item each to holiday gatherings. The most-needed items include warm clothing, toys, canned or boxed food, and personal care products. Grocery store gift cards are also immensely helpful to low-income parents and seniors. Donations should be delivered to United Way of the Bay Area's San Francisco office at 550 Kearny Street, 10th Floor, or Oakland office at 1970 Broadway, Suite 400.

Participants and the general public are also invited to share their stories of how they LIVE UNITED by giving back to the community at http://uwba.org/live-united. Like Zoila, for example, who went from client to staff member at one of United Way's SparkPoint Centers: "I want people to have the same opportunities as I had. That's how I LIVE UNITED."

A recent research brief issued by United Way of the Bay Area revealed that 29 percent of Bay Area households live below self-sufficiency, meaning these individuals cannot afford basic necessities like housing, food and health care. The holiday gift drive is just one of the many ways that United Way combats poverty through giving, advocacy and volunteerism.

Kaplan University and Leading Global HR Organization Assess What is Needed To Narrow the Skills Gap Between Job Seekers and Open Positions

Human resources leaders often rank communication skills over tech in business and IT fields, according to Career Tips survey.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (November 25, 2014) -- Professionals who can articulate well and adeptly analyze information to make strategic decisions have the edge in business and information technology workplaces, according to nationwide survey commissioned by Kaplan University School of Business & Information Technology with the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM).

The survey, which highlights career tips for IT and Business Job applicants was distributed to 3,000 SHRM members nationwide in September, amassing over 350 responses from the administrator to C-Suite level. The goal of the survey was to identify the personal and professional traits that can help secure job opportunities for graduates seeking employment and advancement in the business and IT sectors.

"Kaplan University is keenly focused on making sure our graduates have the skills employers are looking for. We're constantly evaluating and enhancing our business and IT programs to better prepare our students for the demands in the workplace," said Dr. Thomas C. Boyd, Kaplan University dean and vice president of the School of Business & Information Technology. "The survey results reaffirm the importance of obtaining 'soft skills' like communication, critical thinking and team work in addition to core curriculum competencies."

Key survey findings include the following:

Aside from education training, communication (94%) and critical thinking skills (73%) ranked as leading skills for business and general job applicants in today's workplace.

Breaking it down by sector, communication (90%) and critical thinking (75%) remained as the top two business job applicant skills; technology/social and digital media skills (72%) and critical thinking (67%) addressed the top IT job applicant skills.

Adaptability to change (31% for IT jobs; 25% for business jobs) was the one strength that HR professional deemed most important for a person to gain a competitive edge in their field or position.

Employee referrals and national online job boards (58% and 53%, respectively, for business applicants; and equally 46% for IT applicants) were reported to be the leading resources for human resources recruiters. Internal job postings were another top recruitment source for business positions (45%), and industry-specific/niche online job boards were key for IT jobs (39%).
