CEBS August 2015 at June 17, 2015
This document discusses improving oral health outcomes through a dental wellness plan approach. It begins by outlining the chronic infectious nature of dental diseases and how current treatment methods do not effectively address the underlying causes. It then proposes a dental wellness plan that would identify high-risk plan members through shared risk assessment, treat the infections causing dental decay through an evidence-based antibacterial coating, and differentiate care levels based on risk status. The goal is to contain costs and improve outcomes by shifting from a surgical response to managing the oral infections driving dental diseases.
Canada's tooth fairy update
The document summarizes discussions from the 2014 National Children's Oral Health Zone Program Summit. It outlines current and expanding oral health zones in the US and initiatives to promote children's oral health, including establishing an oral health badge for Girl Scouts. It also describes resources and programs from organizations like America's ToothFairy, including their My Smile Matters mentoring program and Youth Awards. Finally, it discusses the potential of disruptive technologies like 3D printing for dental applications.
Junior paper
This document discusses the importance of oral hygiene and regular dental care. It notes that while 64% of people in North Carolina visit the dentist, more people should since teeth are an important part of the body. Proper brushing and flossing helps prevent plaque buildup and diseases like tooth decay, gingivitis, and halitosis. Without treatment, diseases can worsen and require more extensive procedures like fillings, crowns, or extractions. The document also addresses barriers to dental care like cost, with only 55% of Americans having dental insurance and out-of-pocket expenses still being high even for those with coverage.
Dental myths and facts 20
This document discusses common myths and facts about oral health. It dispels the myths that dentists will be shocked by poor oral health, and that there is no need to see a dentist if no visible problems exist. It emphasizes that regular dental checkups every six months are important for prevention, even without symptoms, as dentists can detect early signs not visible to patients. The document also provides background on Smile Care, an Indian dental organization committed to clinical services, education and research in dentistry.
Oral Health Presentation Group 2
The document is a letter from the Kick Kavaties team inviting the recipient to have them present an educational presentation on oral health to children at the school. The presentation would include statistics on oral health in New Zealand, the importance of oral health, and ways for children to improve their oral health habits. The team hopes to attend an assembly and involve parents and the school dental nurse to answer questions.
Oral health
Oral health has more to do with your overall health than just an impressive smile. In fact, it affects how you speak, eat, and emote. Statistics suggest oral health problems, most notably tooth decay, are one of the most frequent chronic illnesses in America. Other oral health problems include gum disease and oral cancer.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdf
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Proposal: The Ark Project and The BEEP Inc
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
