At Asha Dental, we offer dental restorations so that patients can stay in excellent oral health. We can complete restorations in a way that restores the functionality and appearance of a tooth. This is important for ensuring that once the dental work is complete, no one can tell your tooth was ever damaged. If your tooth is cracked, chipped or damaged in any way, call (913) 971-4163 to schedule your appointment. |
If you live in the Leawood area, schedule an appointment with our dental office to learn more about the type of restorations that are available to correct your tooth. At Asha Dental, we do not believe that there is a one-size-fits-all-solution, but offer customized treatment plans based on the needs of each individual patient. The restoration that works for your spouse is not necessarily the one that we will recommend for you. |
If a tooth is only slightly damaged with a small chip or crack, a veneer can be used to restore it. A veneer is a thin shell that is placed on top of a natural tooth and frequently used for restorations of the front teeth. The process of placing a veneer is similar to that of a dental crown only with less tooth preparation. If you live in Leawood, schedule an appointment so that we can discuss both options with you. |
At Asha Dental, we use tooth-colored fillings as a way to restore teeth that have had cavities. Once we remove the decayed area of the tooth, a filling is necessary to replace the missing enamel. Traditionally, this was done using silver amalgam but now we can complete dental restorations using materials that look natural so that when you smile, no one can tell that you had cavities. |
At times, patients need dental restorations to replace teeth. Whether a tooth has been knocked out or has fallen out due to an infection, there are several ways that it can be replaced. In order to determine what procedure is right for you, call 913-971-4163 to schedule an appointment and consultation. |

Instead of turning to affordable repurposing, many teachers and after-school providers spend hundreds of dollars of their own money each month on school supplies and activities for learning. But little do they know that the average person generates 4.3 pounds of waste per day. To continue reading, click here. |

Pastors and lay leaders who represent minority and multiethnic communities and are appalled by the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency have a blunt message for the white evangelical majority that helped elect him: we’re disappointed in you, but not surprised. |
For these evangelicals of color, Trump’s use of racially-charged language, his anti-immigrant rhetoric, negative remarks targeting Mexicans and Muslims, as well as the emergence of the “Access Hollywood” tape and his other divisive comments about women, were simply disqualifying. |
While some prominent white evangelical leaders made their opposition to then-candidate Trump widely known (many signing a letter protesting his candidacy), the majority of white self-identified evangelicals (estimated to run as high as 81 percent), lined up behind him. |
“Many of [Trump’s] critics fell silent or fell into line, while the group known as the ‘religious right’ continued to support him’ says Kathy Khang, a Christian writer and speaker based in the Chicago area. |
For the past eight years, people of color, the LGBT community, and women have been given license to flourish, says Lisa Sharon Harper, author of The Very Good Gospel: How Everything Wrong Can Be Made Right and chief church engagement officer at Sojourners. “The white church demonstrated on November 8th that it is more white than Christian, and has a [greater] commitment to white supremacy than it does to Christ,” says Harper. |
The fact that so many evangelicals didn’t see Trump’s controversial rhetoric as derogatory underlined the presence of a persistent and troubling racial divide in American Christianity that these leaders say is deeply rooted in American history. |
Some are questioning the value of continued association with the white evangelical majority. |
Despite their dismay over the prospect of a Trump presidency, those I spoke to appear to be more motivated and energized than daunted by the challenges that lie ahead. |
“This has been a wakeup call to the progressive, moderate community that we have to stand up for what we believe in and communicate it in the public square,” DuBois concludes. |
And Lisa Sharon Harper tells me that “a new Civil Rights movement is happening, and its locus is in people of color.” She sees evidence of it already in the “movement for black lives,” the witness of the so-called “Dreamers” (undocumented immigrants who arrived here as children), and the rising call for solidarity with the poor that mirrors the words of Jesus in Matthew 25. “Every word of Scripture was written by oppressed people,” she says. |

Calling a cellular phone in another country is done the same way as calling most other phone numbers in that country. |
In most situations, the calling sequence (exit code – country code – local phone number) is very much the same for calling a cellular phone as it is for calling any other phone in that country. |
There are some situations where the call is slightly different. Mexico, for example, adds a digit between the country code and phone number when calling to a cellular phone. |
In some countries (for example Canada and the United States, for example), mobile phone numbers mix with the regular landline phone numbers. In these countries, geographic area determines part of the phone number. |
In other countries (many European countries, for example) there are geographic (area) codes. Mobile phone numbers often have their dedicated geographic code. |
In most situations, the rate to call a cellular phone is the same as to call any other number in that country. |
When calling some countries, it can be more expensive to call a mobile phone number than it is to call a landline phone number. Countries with this situation often have two different rates listed for the international rate. |
It should be noted that when calling a cellular phone, the receiving phone owner may incur a cost for time on the phone. |
Immigrant workers make up nearly half of the dairy labor force and dairies employing immigrants produce 79% of the US milk supply. However, most workers receive no safety training. |
Producers and workers struggle with language and cultural barriers and limited safety resources. This changing diversity in the workforce presents new occupational risk factors. Culturally and linguistically appropriate education in agricultural health and safety is necessary. |
Producers and immigrant workers successfully tested a model program to address on-the-farm safety needs from hazard reduction to worker training. It developed a train-the-trainer curriculum that was later adopted by OSHA as an approved curriculum and utilizes Community Health Workers. |
The 5-module curriculum includes background sections, step-by-step facilitator guides and handouts to reinforce safety messages, as well as visuals for workers with limited formal education and low literacy levels. |
A leading expert in international trade and investment, Professor James A Brander is the Asia Pacific Professor of International Business at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business. His main areas of research include international trade, business strategy and competition policy, and entrepreneurial finance. James Brander received his Bachelor of Arts in economics from the University of British Columbia in 1975, and his Master's and PhD in Economics from Stanford University in 1978 and 1979 respectively. Prior to coming to UBC in 1984 James Brander was at Queen's University. |
James Brander is among the intellectual leaders of the “New Trade Theory” developed in the late 1970s and 1980s. In partnership with co-author Barbara Spencer, he developed the Brander-Spencer model of strategic trade policy, in which a government can enhance national welfare by subsidizing domestic firms to aid in their competition against foreign markets. James Brander and Barbara Spencer received the Harry Johnson Award for the best published paper in the Canadian Journal of Economics in 1981, and they were also honoured in the February 2000 issue of the Journal of International Economics as authors of the most-cited paper in the Journal's 30 year history. James Brander's paper with co-author and Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman ranked sixth on the same list. James Brander's pre-eminence in the field of strategic trade policy was further recognized through his authorship of the corresponding chapter in the Handbook of International Economics. |
James Brander has published widely in other areas including industrial organization, natural resources and growth, entrepreneurial finance, and sports economics. He has now accumulated a very long list of publications including many in some of the leading journals in economics, such as the American Economic Review, the Review of Economic Studies, the Journal of International Economics and the Rand Journal of Economics. He is the author of two important textbooks, “Government Policy Towards Business” (in its fifth edition) and “Managerial Economics and Strategy” (in its second edition, together with Jeffrey M. Perloff). |
James Brander does not limit his intelligence, focus and energy to his academic research. He has served as the President of the Canadian Economics Association, Managing Editor of the Canadian Journal of Economics, co-editor of the Journal of International Economics and as Associate Dean in the Sauder School of Business. Yet perhaps his greatest contribution is the influence he has had on his students, his colleagues, and his co-authors. They testify to his loyalty, laser-sharp intellect, the depth and value of his career advice and his almost child-like curiosity, as well as his attention to detail, strategic thinking and kind heart. |
For his outstanding contributions to economic research and the Canadian economics profession, James Brander is highly deserving of the honour of Fellow of the Canadian Economics Association. |
Now that swimming season is over, it is time to winter-proof the pool. This autumn, consider pool maintenance to make sure that your pool tile will be safe from freezing temperatures. This way, when swimmers return, the pool will be ready to go. |
Pool tiles can crack during wintertime. Cracked pool tiles can result from pressure caused by incorrect water levels. A damaged bond beam may also be the culprit. Additionally, Pool Center pointed out that the tiles may not be frost-free. Not all pool tiles are proofed for the winter, so double-check that the tiles in the pool are appropriate. |
Take a look at the expansion joints. |
The expansion joints in the pool allow for temperature change. According to Redbeacon, the caulking on the joint can wear down and crack over time, so be sure to seal it properly before winter arrives. Otherwise, water can get in through the joint and behind the tiles. When the water freezes, it expands and causes the tile to pop off. It is possible for water to freeze in the expansion joint itself, which will also cause loose and falling tiles. In addition, it can also lead to beam damage. |
Water level is crucial in winter-proofing a tiled pool. If the water level is too high, it can damage the pool tiles upon freezing. The surface water will expand and place too much pressure against the tile, causing it to crack. It is advisable to keep water levels some distance below where the tiles are to prevent any damage. |
Winter can be harsh on pools and can possibly cause a lot of damage. There are many factors to consider, from seals to water levels to covers. However, calling in some pool maintenance may not only ease the job but also provide a professional eye that can spot any potentially compromising spots on the pool. |
If any pool tiles should fall off, refrain from repairing them right away and call in pool experts to take a look. The problems could very well stem from underneath. Simply replacing fallen tiles will only prolong and extend the level of damage the pool sustains. To ensure the best maintenance of the pool during the winter season, prepare accordingly and do not hesitate to reach out for assistance. |
Humanities teacher Micah Weiss believes in the power of respectful, open debate, and he’s fostering a spirit of lively discussion in his classroom. |
Humanities teacher Micah Weiss wears many hats here at Oliverian. While he’s an English teacher by training, his American Studies classes at Oli focus on a holistic blend of American history and literature before, during, and after World War II. He’s also the chairman of the hiring committee, serves on the Oliverian Senior Project committee, and lives on campus with his wife, Betsy, and their three children. |
This semester, Micah used Oli’s electives week to explore a particularly timely topic with his students: how to engage in productive civil discourse. We caught up with Micah to discuss his approach to the class, the students’ response, and what he learned along the way. |
Q: What are some of the unique opportunities that Oli’s electives week offers? |
A: As a teacher, having a three-and-a-half hour block of class time to work with is really interesting. You can do a lot with that. I did a film noir class last year, and before that, I used to lead a class that centered around a big World War II-themed board game that takes 17 hours to play. But for this year’s class, I was trying to get past some of the political polarization that we’re seeing around us and help the students listen to each other. |
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about the class you taught? |
A: I taught a class called “The Great Debates.” As the class went on, my original plan for the class changed based on the students and how engaged they became. At first, I had intended for it to be a class about watching and analyzing intellectual debates, because there are a lot of long form, debates between public intellectuals that you can watch for free. |
But once we got started, the students themselves were so excited about the ideas and controversies that we were talking about that I shifted the class to focus more on their voices. They engaged in debates about whatever they wanted to talk about, and I acted as a moderator and tried to get everyone to listen to each other without the conversation becoming too polarized. |
Q: What did your students think of the class? |
A: I was very lucky to have a group of kids that were willing to talk and had a diverse set of opinions on different topics. At first, we were looking at logical fallacies and how to make good arguments versus bad arguments. But by the end of the week, we were discussing major issues and trying to come to a consensus — or at least disagree respectfully. |
For example, our conversation about gun control was really interesting, because we had a couple of students from rural New York, where hunting and target shooting are a way of life. On the other end of the spectrum, we had a student from an urban environment who’s very passionately against any kind of legalized guns, and a student from Europe who wanted weapon control of all kinds. We had this wide array of views, but we had a really constructive and respectful discussion about it. It was great to give the students a chance to see that you can disagree with each other and not hate each other at the same time. |
Q: Did you have any “aha!” moments where you felt like students were really learning to engage in this type of respectful dialogue? |
A: I think the most constructive conversation we all had was the one around what racism is, who gets to decide what the definition is, and under what circumstances. So, you know, there’s the newer, left-wing definition of “bigotry plus power, equals racism.” There’s also the traditional definition in dictionaries, which is racial bigotry. So how has that changed, and how does that change the way we talk to each other about race in America? |
At the very beginning of that conversation, it was very heated and very intense. There was a very quick jump to accusation. By the end, there was a much deeper understanding between the entire group that this is a very complicated issue and that words can change meaning over time, and that we have to listen to each other before we make accusations. By the end of that conversation, they were really listening to each other. It was beautiful. |
Q: What do you think makes Oliverian unique? |
A: I think that because we’re small and because our community is so immersive, we can eat dinner with students, or take them on long trips, or take them to the movies or Harvard Model Congress, or have an electives week where we go people-watch and write stories about the people we watch. This is real time that we’re spending together, these are real relationships that we’re building. |
In my old job as a teacher in the Bronx, I would get my kids for one 45 minute class a day and maybe lunch for half an hour. At the end of the week, I’d go home and there was nothing I could do. Anything they were getting out of our relationship was really transitory. Here, I really get to create relationships with these kids that are meaningful and long-lasting. |
7 Household Items With Major Home Remedy Power - The Co. |
I’ve done it. Wrestled the kids, got them into the car or stroller, waited in line at the walk-in clinic because I couldn’t get in at the doctor’s. Found out there is a two-hour wait, returned home, unpacked the kids, only to return two hours later to be told my kids just need a bit of saline for their stuffy nose or honey to treat their cough. I would much rather treat common ailments with home remedies when medically advisable than take my kids out unnecessarily. I have since taken to the nurses line when it seems like a common cold and used natural remedies under their consult. Because I’ve had such success with the above mentioned natural remedies, when Meredith Hale, a favourite blogger of mine, announced she had written an A-Z Guide of Quick and Easy Natural Cures, I jumped at the chance to review it. |
Having poured over the contents of the books several times now, I must say, the book is incredibly comprehensive, beautiful, informative, and pragmatic. Common ailments are listed from A-Z, each being given two-page coverage showcasing a handful of natural remedies and suggestions on when to see the doctor. The photos are bright accents to the recommended ingredients on each page; the home remedies are described in tangible terms; and the coloured boxes with additional facts, warnings, or considerations give the text more depth. The book is so thorough and so well thought out! As a result of my reading Home Remedies An A-Z Guide of Quick and Easy Natural Cures, I have compiled a list of 7 household items with major home remedy power. |
Disclaimer: Home remedies should never take the place of consulting a doctor. |
1. Apple Cider Vinegar: This particular vinegar is a natural anti-inflammatory. It also acts as an astringent. Uses: a toner to treat acne, help decrease the swelling of a bruise, help dry up excess oil in hair, treat psoriasis. |
2. Hydrogen Peroxide: I love hydrogen peroxide as a household cleaner, but this natural ingredient also helps eliminate bacteria and decrease swelling. Uses: an under-arm deodorant, dislodge debris and reduce inflammation of an earache, reduce plaque on teeth, fight gingivitis. |
3. Garlic: Garlic has natural antibiotic properties. Uses: on cuts to fight bacteria, help with nasal congestion, help decrease blood pressure. |
4. Aloe: Meredith recommends using 100% natural aloe rather than bottled, store bought kind as it can also contain alcohol that can be drying. One of the main benefits of aloe? It may reduce pain and inflammation. Uses: moisturise dry, cracked skin, alleviate itch and burn of rashes, hives, chaffed skin, eczema, and/ or sunburn. |
5. Honey: This one is one of my favourites because honey can seemingly do so much (NB organic honey is recommended in the book). It has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Uses: coat a sore throat, increase healing time for canker sores, relieve the pain of chickenpox, soothe and coat mucous membranes acting as a natural cough medicine, help metabolise alcohol helping to treat a hangover. |
6. Baking Soda: Another favourite of mine for common ailments and cleaning, baking soda helps to kill bacteria and has anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory properties. It also exfoliates. Uses: relieve itching of chickenpox, hives, or from stings/bites, prevent the formation of plaque on teeth, treat diaper rash, or as a natural anti-acid. |
7. Coconut Oil: It is anti-fungal, antibacterial, and rich in vitamin E. Uses: lip balm, treat diaper rash, razor burn, dry skin. |

With so many “trusted” websites like Google and Facebook being accused of selling information to the highest buyers, many people have become skeptical of the web in general. Even those Facebook quizzes have people on edge regarding their security. Many people warn that taking the popular quizzes on Facebook gives the company access to sensitive information including your name. profile, friends, etc. Is any information safe? |
We all know that general information is taken and used by advertisers as well as websites to learn more about the traffic coming in. It’s also used to allow advertisers to market themselves to potential buyers. As we discussed in the Google article, your searches are sold and used against you. For most people, this is mostly just an annoyance. You’ll see ads for products you searched for a couple of weeks before they go away and are replaced by new ads. In other words, it’s just an inconvenience.However what you might be unaware of, is that your health information could also be out there for the masses and that companies are selling it to third parties. And yes, this can also impact your credit score scarily enough. |
So while it may seem both convenient and practical to use your smartphone to keep up with your medication as well as Google illness symptoms, these apps and websites might be sharing your personal information. |
It’s sad that the world we live in where data is one of the hottest currencies available. Personal information is worth its weight in gold and companies are just as eager to hand it out for a few bucks as others are to get their hands on it. Every click you make online is heavily monitored and sometimes your moves are even tracked offline. |
This information is then sold at market to the highest bidder; without your express knowledge or permission. And for many, it’s impossible to opt out of the sharing aspect of the apps and websites. We’ve come to accept the fact that this is true of our basic search and app habits. If you have the Urban Outfitters app downloaded for example and frequently search for their clothing online, you’ll see a lot more Urban Outfitters ads and related companies pop up. These ads will appear on social media as well as frequented websites that have space for advertising. However, you would never expect your health information to be used against you in the same manner. |
Unfortunately, just like with the Urban Outfitters app, your health apps and Google searches are sharing your most personal, valuable data. Sure, you can easily not search for your symptoms online, but for those who have their medical data stored in apps or even on their doctor’s medical site, it’s not always an option to get out of sharing that information. This means that the most sensitive and personal parts of your life are available for third parties to craft advertisements based on or to sell it to fourth party companies who have little to nothing to do with the health industry. |
In a recent study conducted using fake profiles on medical websites as well as information searched for through websites like WebMD, researchers discovered that a lot of third parties were privy to this information. That’s right, the last time you checked WebMD and it told you that you were dying of brain cancer instead of recommending you take medicine for your migraine, this info was handed out to interested parties. |
