Functional Orthodontics: The New Way to Correct One’s Smile at an Earlier Age

There are many treatments and methods to correct smiles nowadays, although braces will always be a popular option. However, some people need dental crowns or dental cleaning and exam. Therefore, they must get in contact with an orthodontist or dental hygienist and start to correct what they require. People usually need smile correction because their teeth are crooked or don't grow correctly. However, orthodontics goes beyond that and tries to fix issues from the root. You might need care after a dental cleaning, and a hygienist could do that, as well as your orthodontist. Your mouth might be sensitive and need special care after teeth cleaning, so you must follow the expert's advice, or you could ruin the entire process. You don't want to come back so soon with the same issue. Furthermor...

New York Developer Helps Preserve Harlem Artist’s Work

It takes a certain type of resident to appreciate a neighborhood filled with graffiti and other forms of street art; in fact, some people would probably prefer to hire a residential painting service to clear any evidence of this controversial art form away. However, for one street in Brooklyn, the work of an artist has come to define the area's culture and drawn international attention. Now, a New York City developer plans to showcase and protect some of these murals as the area evolves. Franco "The Great" Gaskin immigrated to New York City from Panama in 1958. When the riots following the death of Martin Luther King caused Harlem shop owners to install metal gates to protect their windows, Gaskin began painting murals on these gates to help change the image of the area. Often focusing on...

McCafe: Coming Soon to a Grocery Store Near You

As the most popular and well-known fast-food chain in the world, it was no surprise when McDonald's created its McCafe brand to keep up with up-and-coming coffee competitors like Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. Offering a variety of affordable coffee and espresso beverages in their restaurants has helped the fast food company keep up with the competition, but McDonald's will soon begin selling McCafe bagged coffee in stores to gain more of a competitive edge in the market. Both Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts have been selling bagged coffee in grocery stores across the country for years now, and both have continued to keep a loyal following of coffee-loving customers. Although they are a little late to the game, McDonald's, through a partnership with Kraft Foods Group, is launching a major m...

Month Old Baby Dies After Contracting Legionnaires’ Disease During Water Birth

A Texas infant died from Legionnaires' disease just weeks after a home birth which took place in a heated birthing pool, according to details from a new report released by investigators from the Texas Department of State Health Services. Legionnaires' disease is an acute form of pneumonia caused by the Legionella bacteria, which thrives in warm, moist environments such as bath and hot tubs, and plumbing systems, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "What people need to understand is that if there is a lack of protective coating on tubs, then it becomes a real danger because bacterial are going to reside within those cracks and divots,” says Branham Jarrell, President of Georgia Tub and Tile. “To get rid of minor cracks and chips, a glazing putty wo...

Japan’s New Secrecy Law Called “an Unprecedented Threat to Freedom of Information”

Japan has passed a strict new state-secret law, which Reporters Without Borders is calling "an unprecedented threat to freedom of information." Prime Minister Shinzo Abe says it's essential to convince allies to share intelligence with Japan, but critics charge that the law will help the Japanese government conceal its misdeeds, limit freedom of the press, and chill whistleblowers. "This law will restrict the peoples' right to know," said protester Tomoki Hiyama. "It's full of ambiguity and will take us back to the 'public peace and order' controls of World War Two." Though the law was passed over a year ago, it came into effect December 10. Protesters waved banners and beat drums in Tokyo's streets, hours before it came into force. Now, whistleblowing will come at a heavy cost. Public s...

TV May Not Be the Future of Marketing, But GoDaddy Shows That Interactive TV Ads Are Possible

With online marketing and social media taking over the majority of a business's marketing and advertising campaigns, it's almost surprising that something like a TV commercial -- which is incredibly limited in terms of audience engagement and interaction, by comparison -- could grab news headlines. But when it comes to Super Bowl advertising, TV commercials reach a whole new level of dedication and creativity. It seems unlikely that any business would be able to drum up the same level of audience engagement with a TV commercial that can be found with just a few tweets, but as Variety reporter and senior TV editor Brian Steinberg notes, the web service company "GoDaddy" may have accomplished the impossible. It's no secret that Americans have a special place in their hearts for Super Bowl...

Students in Asia Have Been Cheating on the SAT For Months

The Educational Testing Service (ETS) has confirmed it: students in Asia have been cheating on the SAT for months. In October, "a small number of test-takers had an unfair advantage on the test," said ETS spokesperson Thomas Ewing, citing confidentiality concerns. ETS, which administers the SAT worldwide, decided to temporarily withhold the October 11 results because of suspicions of cheating "based on specific, reliable information," because of "organizations that seek to illegally obtain test materials for their own profit, to the ultimate detriment of all students." In November, another probe was opened after more allegations of cheating were made following the administration of the SAT in Asia. Since only a few private schools in China are allowed to administer the SAT, many students...

Did This Brooklyn Seafood Restaurant Try to Bribe Yelp Reviewers With Free Meals?

First, there was the carpet cleaner who sued anonymous Yelp reviewers over bad reviews. Then there was the hotel that withheld deposits from guests who left negative comments on the popular review site. Now a Brooklyn restaurant is offering free meals through Craigslist to customers willing to rave about its food. The now-removed ad, posted on Dec. 4, sought out Yelp reviewers with established or elite profiles to review the Littleneck seafood restaurant in exchange for meals. It doesn't specify "good" reviews, but that seems to be implied. Aaron Lefkove, one of the owners of Littleneck, told amNY that the ad didn't come from them, and that he may pursue legal action against the person who posted it. "We definitely did not post that," LefKove told amNY in an email. "I imagine it's an un...
