Celebrate the Positivity!

I’m glad that the world now understands the importance of sustainability. Speaking of which, sustenance in our life routine is also essential to become positive and successful. Recently, I observed that people are losing positivity and their endurance to change.

Change is good for us. Life is all about changing for the better, moving on, and welcoming new beginnings as the old doors closed.

It might sound easy to say than doing. But believe me, it’s also that easy if you implement few virtues in your life during a shifting phase –whether it’s your personal life, relationships, career, or social life.

All you have to do is to start your day with a positive mindset!

The law of attraction proves that what you focus on and think about is what you will attract into your life.

That’s why it is important to start your day with a happy note. If you want a positive flow in your life, you’d need to set your day with a positive mindset.

Having a positive mindset keeps you productive throughout the day. Do some prep at night so that the next day you would not be rushing about or feeling overwhelmed in the morning. Small things like selecting your outfit, making your lunch, and planning your next-day tasks will not only shift your focus on self-development but also keeps you away from negative thoughts, overthinking, and will prepare your mind to welcome the new day while overcoming the challenges.

Trust me! This recipe for success is tried and tested!

The latest issue in your hands has the most informative articles, the latest news, and all that you want to read and stay updated about the lifestyle, hospitality, and entertainment industry.

Happy reading to you!

Chipped Tooth

Enamel or the outer covering of your teeth is one of the strongest substance in your body

However, it does have it limits. A forceful blow or excessive wear and tear can cause teeth to chip.

Cause of chipped teeth:

1. Biting down on hard substances, like ice or hard candy.

2. Falls or car accidents.

3. Playing contact sports without a mouth guard.

4. Grinding your teeth when you sleep.

By Dr. Nour Zoarob

Chipped tooth treatment options:

Treatment of a chipped tooth generally depends on its Iocation, severity and symptoms.

1. Tooth reattachment

2. Bonding

3. Porcelain veneer

4. Dental only

The result is a jagged tooth surface that can be sharp, tender and disfiguring.

By Dr. Muhammad Ali Saada

isdom Teeth

Keep or remove??

The daily question in our office. Guidelines and protocol should be followed strictly to answer the question. With age comes wisdom. Specifically, wisdom teeth.

They got their name because of when they develop, often on the cusp of adulthood.

The wisdom tooth or the third molar the last tooth erupted and in remaining space in the jaw.

They erupt between the age of 17and 25, the total number of wisdom teeth is 4. 2 upper and 2 lower on each end of the jaw Between 5-37% of people have missing one tooth or more of their wisdom teeth and some rare cases people have 5 or 6 wisdom teeth according to location and gender. The final answer regarding do we have or not wisdom teeth depend on x-rays since the wisdom tooth bud starts developing at age 7-9 years so on age of 10, we will be sure if we have, or we don’t have wisdom teeth by using panoramic X-rays. But we don’t have an answer at this age regarding keep or remove??

But do we need our wisdom teeth in our mastication system?

What are the signs of wisdom teeth coming in?

There are a few symptoms you can notice, jaw pain or facial pain due to wisdom teeth pressure on nerves, redness or swelling in your gum behind your last teeth and may you notice a white flecks behind your last molars these may be the cusp of your wisdom teeth.

Wisdom teeth can lead to problems if there isn’t enough space for them to surface or if the wisdom tooth is in the wrong position. If your dentist sees the x-ray and says your wisdom teeth are impacted, or embedded, he means they are trapped in your jaw or under your gums.

following:

• Wisdom teeth that aren’t in the right position can allow food to become trapped. That gives cavity-causing bacteria a place to grow.

This means they served a purpose at one point, but we don’t anymore.

Our ancestor or grandfather’s diet consisted of raw plants. Hard food and tough meals and wisdom teeth were necessary to grind these foods for good digestion. Today modern food preparation and eating utensils have eliminated our need to wisdom teeth.as we got used to these dietary changes, our bodies went through small evolutionary changes. Like our jaws became smaller and this is why many people don’t have enough room in their jaw for wisdom teeth to grow in.

• Wisdom teeth that haven’t come in properly, which can make it difficult to floss between the wisdom teeth and the molars next to them.

• Wisdom teeth that have partially come through embedded can give bacteria a place to enter the gums and create a place for infection to occur. This may also lead to pain, swelling and stiffness in your jaw.

• Wisdom teeth that don’t have enough space to come through are thought by some to crowd or damage neighboring teeth.

We don’t need in fact; most health care facilities consider wisdom teeth as vestigial or from history.

As your wisdom teeth make their way through your gums, your dentist will be monitoring your mouth for signs of the

• A wisdom tooth that is impacted can form a cyst on or near the impacted tooth. This could damage the roots of nearby teeth or destroy the bone that supports your teeth. Some people develop complications due to impacted wisdom teeth or wisdom teeth that have not erupted in good way. This complication may include pain in the jaw and gum, infection, cavities, gum disease,

damage to the next teeth and in some cases, we may have cysts or tumors. Your dentist may also recommend removal of wisdom teeth as part of treatment for braces or other dental care. Before making any decisions, your dentist will examine your mouth and take an x-ray. Together, you and your dentist can discuss the best course of treatment.

What are the most common treatments for wisdom teeth?

Wisdom teeth removal is the most common treatment. And this can be done in dental office under local anesthesia by dentist in minor cases or by oral surgeon in more complicated cases but also can be done under general anesthesia in hospital necessary.

• People of any age can have their wisdom teeth removed. But we recommend people to have their wisdom teeth removal in their late teens or early 20s or in the last stage of braces. When wisdom teeth removal is decided under general anesthesia all teeth should be removed at one time. But if it is done in office, we recommend you remove upper and lower in one side and wait for two weeks then the other side,

• Since recovery usually takes one week for upper and two weeks for lower. Postoperativeinstruction will be given to the patient after surgery. Antibiotic and antiinflammation recommended there is no need to replace the wisdom Teeth.

Keeping Your Wisdom Teeth?

Wisdom teeth removal has become a rite of passage for many teens and young adults around the world. But if your wisdom teeth erupt in alignment with your other teeth and don’t cause any problems, you may not need to do anything. Only you should continue to be monitored because the potential for developing problems later still exists. As people age, they are at greater risk for health problems—and that includes potential problems with their wisdom teeth. Be sure to floss around your wisdom teeth and visit your dentist regularly. Regular dental visits allow your dentist to evaluate your wisdom teeth and your overall dental health.

Wisdom teeth are vestigial (unnecessary) features of our bodies.

Fitness has always been my jam, and I'm all about helping others reach their fitness goals.

I started participating in international Spinning Marathons, visited international Spinning® studios and was committed to reflect the same in Qatar, the country who has gained through the years a privileged position on the map of sports in the world

Huawei announced that it has replaced the legacy ERP system with its MetaERP system over which it has full control.

Yesterday, the company hosted the MetaERP Award Ceremony to recognize the individuals and teams who made critical contributions to this project.

ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is the most critical enterprise management IT system. Huawei introduced the MRP (Manufacturing Resource Planning) II system in 1996, and later expanded to the ERP system with several iterative upgrades. The old ERP system was the core system underpinning Huawei’s enterprise operations and rapid development for more than 20 years. It supported Huawei’s efficient business operations, which generate hundreds of billions of dollars every year, across more than 170 countries and regions worldwide.

In 2019, Huawei began facing increased external pressure and business challenges. The company decided to develop a completely self-controlled MetaERP system to replace the old ERP system. This has been the most extensive and complex transformation project Huawei has ever undertaken. Over the past three years, Huawei has invested significant resources and assigned several thousand people to this project, while also working with industry and ecosystem partners to overcome related challenges. This new, future-oriented, ultra-large-scale, and cloud-native MetaERP system has already gone live, replacing the old ERP system.

MetaERP currently handles 100% of Huawei’s business scenarios and 80% of its business volume. MetaERP has already passed the tests of monthly, quarterly, and yearly settlements, while ensuring zero faults, zero delays, and zero accounting adjustments.

Tao Jingwen, Huawei’s Board Member and President of the Quality, Business Process & IT Mgmt Dept, said: “We were cut off from our old ERP system and other core operation and management systems more than three years ago. Since then, we have not only been able to build our own MetaERP, but also manage the switch and prove its capabilities. Today we are proud to announce that we have broken through the blockade. We have survived!”

Sabrina Meng, Huawei’s Rotating Chairwoman and CFO, said: “Leaps in technology take a spirit of craftsmanship and years of experience. More importantly, it takes an open mind to drive leaps in the way we think. We wouldn’t have been able to build MetaERP without the support of our partners. Innovation is only possible with an open mind, and thriving is only possible when we work together.”

Serenity Paradise Found:

DISCOVER THE WESTIN MALDIVES MIRIANDHOO RESORT’S WELLNESS ESCAPE

By Leslie Fernandez

After the extra busy and hectic last few months, I went to the world’s most picturesque dreamland –the Maldives. This solo 3-day wellness trip has been on my bucket list for so long.

Since I am a nature enthusiast and love to stay beside the ocean as it solemnizes a kind of bonding back home, I was looking for something that brought all my favorites together in one single trip.

Knowing the health benefits of traveling alone and how solo retreats bring positive change to your personal health and wellness, I got really motivated to consider a wellness escape by getting a chance to stay for three days at The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort.

This solo retreat has been focused on lifestyle change, spa indulgence, specialist yoga sessions under the moon, mindful healthy food, and a number of activities to boost health and wellbeing.

The exotic Westin Resort, the scenic island ambiance, healthy food, and the Wenlin Tan Flow activities –all these revived my wellbeing and refreshed my soul to the core. It is a perfect wellness package, indeed!

WELLNESS OASIS: EMBRACE BLISS AT THE WESTIN MALDIVES MIRIANDHOO RESORT”

I visited the gorgeous The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, a jewel in the crown of the Maldives exotic Westin Hotels & Resorts Group. The wellness spirit infused in every detail of this resort is simply ahmazing. Whilst my stay at The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, I experienced the purest expression of wellbeing vision.

Free from restrictions and away from bustling cityscapes, –the resort enables its visitors to indulge in the secluded tranquility of island life. The views from any angle are all picture-perfect.

The postcard-style powdery soft sand beaches, mesmerizing sunsets, freshest catch of the day cooked to perfection, and perfect temperatures –all these helped me recover from my previous hectic life routine and regain the sensation of feeling relaxed, recharged, and revitalized. A true form of nirvana, to say the least!

Meditation at the Middle of the Indian Ocean Mandela

Oh! The sound of waves amidst the calmness of the sea itself is enough to make your entire mind and body relaxed and at peace. The picturesque view of the deep blue Indian Ocean fills a vision in your eyes and the sea breeze swaying and swirling on your skin whispers the beauty of nature in your ears.

The #FeelWell activation program is a 3-part mindbody wellbeing workshop that was designed to foster mindfulness and improve physical, mental, and emotional health. The sessions were conducted by the famous Wenlin Tan, a mindfulness coach, Qigong, and yoga specialist and mentor.

The 45-minute sessions per day incorporated behavioral psychology, design thinking, and embodiment art to empower the guests to pursue their wellbeing within the three realms of the self, skills, and relationships. Meditation helps rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit.

We did meditation and Luca is the one to complement here. The session was extremely calming, awakening, and soulful at the same time. While we meditated, Mother Nature showered her blessing on us through little raindrops, giving us a welcoming feel.

Sporting Kayak and Snorkeling Adventure and Cookery Class

Kayak – We were given the understanding that taking care of Mother Nature is essential for our wellbeing, in a simple and innovative way.

We all know that corals are important for ocean life. So we painted frames and planted them at the bottom of the sea to grow corals. The kayaking and snorkeling are experiences in themselves; –I enjoyed every bit of this activity.

Snorkeling –Apart from snorkeling itself being as fun as anything could be, the Miriandhoo Reefs offer some of the best ocean bed views. I find manta rays, clownfish, blue surgeon fish, and so many other species. There are excursions to the reef and island villa reef tours organized by the resort.

Cookery Classes –The resort has been staffed by the locals therefore, expecting a wealth of native culinary knowledge is a must. The resort chefs giving cookery classes to the guests is a fairly exceptional opportunity to get to know the Maldivian cuisine and return home with peace as well as some additional tastefulness to my gourmet platter.

Spa Day at Heavenly Spa by Westin

After spending early hours doing watersports, I needed a good massage to relax my body. So the spa is my pick for the rest of the day. Of course, what can be better than pampering yourself with soothing massages, relaxing facials, and beauty treatments?

The Heavenly Spa by Westin Resort was another extraordinary experience I had during my wellness trip.

The relaxing ambiance with beautiful island views spread behind the glass walls and watching the ocean floor through the glass beneath the massage beds –it’s all just so tremendously relaxing.

I chose body scrub, facial, hair and scalp treatment, and manicure/pedicure treatments. The view of fish swimming on the ocean floor while getting the most relaxing body massage was the best experience I had there.

This is my Nirvana

These three days of my life were transformative. I tried almost everything and drank deeply from the revitalizing elixir offered by such beautiful island life. The meditation, spa, and all the other healthy activities have made it an ideal space to indulge yourself.

The beautiful weather, cuisine, vistas, and all the facilities have left a permanent impression on my nomad soul. I endure the valued sense of tranquility, peace, and calmness that will guide me through the hectic city life this year.
