New Zealanders? love of acidic food and drinks is creating a growing trend of dental problems with their teeth ? but many are unwilling to change their habits, a new study has found.
The survey of 1000 people ? commissioned by GlaxoSmithKline New Zealand ? found Kiwis were very fond of things that cause acid wear, which can result in loss of tooth enamel, sensitive teeth or other problems.
It also found that more than half of people with acid wear said they still ate and drank what they wanted, despite knowing the effects.
Acidic drinks and food that can contribute to acid wear include daily staples for many people such as fruit juice, salad dressings, soft drinks, energy drinks, alcohol, tea and coffee.
?In recent years, we?ve seen a rise in the number of people suffering from acid wear, and it?s often due to a high consumption of acids found in fruit juice, energy drinks and alcohol,? said Dr Usha Narshai of Grey Lynn Dental.
?I see many patients with sensitive teeth and often they?re unaware of the damage that can be caused by acidic food and drink ? and once your tooth enamel is gone, it?s gone. The effects of acid wear cannot be reversed.?
Seventy-one per cent drank alcohol regularly, 56 per cent drinking wine at least weekly. More than 70 per cent drank tea or coffee at least once a week, over half of those having a daily brew.
Seventy-two per cent had salad dressing at least once or more a week, while 39 per cent drank fruit juice at least once or more every week.
Nutrition consultant Kate Gray said the rise in popularity of soft drinks, energy drinks and flavoured water was a recent phenomenon. ?These drinks are laden with sugar and acidic ingredients including phosphoric and carbonic acid, while orange and other citrus juices contain natural acids like citric acid and ascorbic acid, which can still be harmful.?
Overall, people rated their smiles their most important physical trait but only a third of people claimed to visit the dentist annually and two-thirds had never been to a dental hygienist.
Dr Narshai said: ?Regular check-ups ? help detect early acidic wear to teeth, and there are a number of easy steps people can take to protect the development of acid wear?.
BARISTA WON?T CUT OUT THE COFFEE
Natalie HindsonIn her work as a barista, Natalie Hindson drinks several coffees a day ? but the risk of acid wear to her teeth won?t make her cut it out of her routine.
When the Herald put study findings to her yesterday about acidic food and drinks linked to dental problems in Kiwis, Miss Hindson, 26, said: ?I don?t think I would change what I?m drinking. I would more so change the toothpaste I?m using, or something like that?.
?I?m more concerned about the dairy intake as opposed to the acid intake I guess. I would tend to drink more long blacks ? which may have even more of a detrimental effect [in acid intake].
?I use the toothpaste for coffee drinkers ? so you don?t get the staining. I think dental hygiene is really important. I don?t do soft drinks or anything like that.?
Drinking coffee is about ?quality control? in her job at Christchurch?s Addington Coffee Co-Op. ?I think it?s the sign of a good barista to be able to know they are producing a good coffee. I don?t need it to get through the day.?
STAY NEUTRAL
Five easy steps to avoid acid wear:
* Avoid brushing immediately after consuming acidic foods and drinks as this is when the enamel is at its softest. * Drink fizzy drinks and fruit juices quickly, don?t swish them around or hold them in the mouth for long periods of time. * Be aware of hydration levels. Dehydration results in less saliva production and less protection against acid wear. * Balance acidic foods with neutral foods to reduce acidic effect.

Monday was a huge day for 17-year-old U.S. swimmer Missy Franklin, who won her first Olympic gold medal. But not so much for Ryan Lochte, who failed to medal for the first time in his Olympic swimming career. It was also a big day for royal watchers, who got to catch a glimpse of Wills and the ever-impeccable Kate, both of whom turned out to watch Zara Phillips, equestrian member of their brood, compete. That brings us to day four.

Please do not confuse leadership with success. Almost any organization can become financially successful through the application of excellent financial management principles, good research and development, professional marketing and strategic acquisition of highly qualified employees and managers. That however, is NOT leadership and the people who work in organizations that are not well led generally become disengaged over time. When that happens, performance wanes and sales decline.
Success without great leadership is a slippery slope that has caused many organizations to crash-and-burn despite fabulous market penetration and good financial growth.
STAYING POWER
Organizations with great leadership have staying power. They live on through all manner of market changes and economic woes. Great leaders run great organizations that are capable of remaining respected household names from one generation to the next.
Organizations with poor leadership are short lived. They eventually fade into distant memories of second-rate products, bad service and abysmal management.
?There is no replacement for great leadership.
PRINCIPLES OF LEADERSHIP
Leadership is represented by the consistent application of the principles of:
Thoughtfulness,
Selflessness,
Integrity,
Compassion,
Respect,
Conscientiousness
And Courage.
All of these principles can usually be found in highly-regarded leaders. Does that sound like you? Does that sound like you at all times? If not, take heart?Leadership can be learned!
Great leaders, lead by example. Their unspoken intention is to consistently set a great example so that others may follow their lead. If you want to be a better leader, pay attention to great leaders and watch for the things that set them apart from others around them. Think about what makes them different.
If you observe revered leaders and analyse the things they do and say you will find some commonalities. Check out their mannerisms, their way of speaking, the time they give people and their smile patterns. You will notice that despite the gravity of any given situation they remain calm and focus on putting the minds of others at rest. Even in dire situations, when even they have no choice but to become emotional, they will quickly return to a more tranquil, composed state so that they may lead others to a safe and satisfactory end. Their sole purpose is to assist others and improve their lives.
Always Remember: The number one quality of a great leader is the desire to see others do well.
YOU MUST CHANGE
In order to put the principles of leadership to work in your own life, you must believe in yourself and you must be willing to change. Your mind and your very being must embrace three things:
???? You must truly want to change.
???? You must believe you can change.
??? You must believe that change will improve your life and the lives of others.
If you are not a great leader and you are not willing to change, you are tip-toeing around the common definition of insanity: ?Doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results.? Although you may not be insane when you avoid change, you cannot improve without it. The word, ?improve? indicates a change for the better and improvement cannot happen on its own. It requires an outside, intervening force. That force is you!
If you go to work every day expecting others to change so that they can accept your leadership ?style?, you will fail. Leadership is not about the people who must follow?it is about the person who is trying to lead?it is about you. If your style is not working, change it! If you continue to rely on a failing style, you will continue to fail in ever-increasing increments.
DISCOVER YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE
Open up your mind and be willing to learn new things. Here are five simple things you can do to discover your own leadership style in order to become a better leader:
?????Ask your peers to describe your leadership style to you.
???? Ask your followers how they feel about your leadership style.
???? Be willing to accept criticism calmly.
???? Act on the criticism you hear, with an aim to improvement.
???? Review your ?style? often.
If all else fails, get a coach. I specialize in leadership training and I am sometimes amazed at what some people think good leadership is. These are not bad people. They have simply grown up in an environment where negative or ineffective leadership styles are the norm. They only need a small but powerful push to get them back on the right track.
CAN ANYONE BE A GREAT LEADER?
No?Only those people who follow the principles of leadership, who are able to change and who are willing to do a lot of ongoing self-discovery will climb to the ranks of the great leaders of history.
What are you doing to improve your leadership style?
If you plan to have an internet site or blog, you?re going to need hosting. Good results . all the choices out there it can be a head ache just searching for the hosting company which will assist in your needs not to mention once you learn that items to ask for.

In the event that and when your website gets to be popular a person wish to be stuck with an individual webhost that can?t manage the visitors you can getting. Think about an online host, often look to observe how simple it is to change into a greater paid web hosting plan; this will assist you to prevent bad downtimes and keep your site working.
The best web hosting on earth will be nothing if it keeps going down. When a web host failures, thus did your internet site. Ensure when you?re selecting a hosting company how the company provides a higher percent up-time to ensure that the website is going to be online a lot more than its off-line.
When some thing is supposed to be bad with your web site sometimes it can be due to the website hosting. If it is your hosting company that is having problems, an individual have the ability to make contact with them to make your internet site regress to something easier and working. Look for a hosting business that can offer you 24 / 7 assistance for virtually any hiccups that may occur.
Before you make a decision on the webhost, proceed a little nerdy as well as research the particular backend storage space software program provided around the web host. If you?re running specific software you?ll need to possess several variations of server side encoding different languages such as PHP. Don?t be captured within a payment when you can?t use your number for the fullest extent; find an excellent hosting company that continually revisions their backend.
Totally free hosting offers their worth; mainly which free of charge however you will find far too many problems along with free hosting like down time, lack of customer care as well as bandwidth throttling that makes it important that you stay away from these types of contains. Likewise, free hosting companies usually location ads on your own website to recoup the expenses for web hosting ? you don?t want to number an internet commerce website which may shed product sales as a result of marketing.
Dedication is the word within focused web hosting. Focused hosting is one when a client has an entire net storage space committed to its hosting needs. Large businesses together with excellent every day web page views will go for committed web hosting. On the other hand, shared hosting is a kind of hosting in which the obtainable machine is actually dispersed among many owners. The final customers are generally maintained on one Web Process (IP) tackle. Server sources are splitted among a lot of users. Each business or web site competes regarding resources in what looks like bidding to have an auction. Shared enviroment is the toast of several small business garments. Only starting little means you can find few strikes on the web website as well as websites may be only one or two. Still both committed and shared enviroment are usually forms of reaching out to clients for companies via the web.
How well then will focused hosting compares using shared enviroment? These info acts to give much more insight in to the 2 planets that are paradoxically exactly the same:
Usually, in web hosting, issues do arise. However precisely what noise will anybody make if you are utilizing a shared hosting package deal. Several owners involving shared hosting watch bewildered as well as endlessly since the hardware generates issues with absolutely nothing to accomplish. In fact , the actual limitations for your management are no place. Return to re-read the agreement that is included with this. You ought to be certain your own hosting company is not the hack. However , together with dedicated hosting, a far more reliable company package exists, which range from the lease of the whole hardware. Once again, there exists unlimited use of the particular operating system, software program and also data bank applications.
In case your business keeps growing quickly, several facets of your web presence will change together with this. You might regularly have to tweak your own disk room and also bandwidth and also test out making use of various programs to better serve your own transforming needs. On the discussed number, changing in a way usually entails jumping from one ?package? or even ?plan? to another. These types of plans are generally pre-specified and could or even may not serve your own instant demands. They may be full of programs you don?t yet need, but absence one single program you do. Or perhaps the next jump way up from the current plan has many much more hard drive room and also bandwidth than you need right now. Having a committed server plus a dedicated web hosting deal, you may make adjustments incrementally.
NEW YORK (AP) ? U.S. stock futures were flat Monday as Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner headed to Europe, where the latest economic data suggested a tricky path to recovery.
Dow Jones industrial futures fell 20 points to 13,013 and the broader S&P futures gave up 3.4 points to 1,379.10. Nasdaq futures gained 2.75 points to 2,644.75.
The European Commission released a report Monday showing that economic sentiment dipped, with pessimism growing in both the industrial and service sectors. There were sharp declines in Germany, France and in Spain. The report was released on the same day that Spain's National Statistics Institute said that its economy contracted for the third straight quarter.
Geithner is meeting his German counterpart and the head of the European Central Bank on Monday, whose comments last week sent markets sharply higher.
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi pledged to do what was needed to save the euro, at least within the organization's mandate.
Those comments appeared to buoy markets in Europe for a second week.
In Europe, Germany's DAX rose 62.22 points to 6751.62 while the CAC-40 in France rose 0.5 percent higher at 3,295. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares gained 54.05 points to 5627.21.
U.S. markets appeared to focus on the latest economic data out of Europe, however, with no major U.S. corporate earnings Monday and no economic indicators at home.
Later this week, the Labor Department releases its July employment report, and many investors may be staying on the sidelines until then.
Hiring has slowed sharply compared with the first three months of the year. Employers added only 80,000 jobs in June, the third straight month of weak hiring. The unemployment rate seems stuck around 8 percent.
