Brushing for the dentist- recommended two minutes in the morning and before bed can be more fun for the whole family if you heed these hints: 1. Set a good example - Children look up to mom and dad and like to emulate their behavior. If you’re enthusias- tic about brushing and fl oss- ing, your children are more likely to be, too. Make your oral care a routine family event and your children will benefi t by having healthy teeth and spending quality time with you. 2. Make a playlist - Create a playlist of your children’s favorite songs and play one each time they brush. Change the song daily to keep the brushing and fl ossing ritual interesting for your children and motivate them to brush for the length of the song. 3. Create a little friend- ly competition-Make oral health care a family routine by creating the “battle of the brushes.” Whether the con- test is between siblings or with a parent, having a fun toothbrush and a brushing competition is a great way to get everyone in on the ex- citement and encourage all involved to brush and fl oss to their best ability. Think of some healthful prizes to give away to the family member who stays true to an oral care routine each week. 4. Create a distraction - If kids are watching the timer, the two minutes seem like forever. Sing a funny song, do a silly dance or try reading from their favorite book. The two minutes will fl y by in no time. Don’t rush the brushing-the longer they brush and fl oss, the better their dental checkups will be. 5. Compliment your kids - By praising and com- plimenting your children after they fl oss and brush, you’re encouraging them to continue their healthy habits- and smile more. Eventually, the healthy oral care regimen will become second nature. 6. Take a video - Kids love watching themselves being silly. Try fi lming your children brushing their teeth and have them watch after- ward. It’s an easy way to en- sure that they brush for a full two minutes and reinforces how brushing creates a beau- tiful smile. 7. Have a reward sys- tem - If your children use their toothbrushes, tooth- paste and fl ossers for a full two minutes, morning and night, allow them to have a special treat, such as watch- ing a favorite video. The Sunstar GUM® oral care collection for kids, featur- ing popular licenses such as Crayola™, Power Rang- ers™, Dragons™ and La- laloopsy™, makes it easy to conquer plaque with the help of fun, creative and bright toothbrushes, toothpaste and fl ossers.

Visit Hire Heroes USA. by Greg Call, Retired Marine and Veterans Program Manager at LinkedIn (NAPSA)-Like many veterans, I joined the Marine Corps after 9/11 because I wanted to make a difference. Following my service, which included a tour in Afghanistan, I faced the reality of transition back to civilian life with a mix of emotions, but ultimately, like a military operation-with a plan, support, the right tools and clarity of purpose. I was fortu- nate to build a new professional identity and network to advance my career. The reality, however, is that for many veterans, the path to the perfect job is not so clear. In the next fi ve years, close to 1 million veterans will transition from the military to civilian jobs. For many post-9/11 veterans who have spent the majority of their adult- hood in the military, this may be the fi rst time they ask themselves what it is they want to do professionally and how to go about doing it. In the military, you have a clearly defi ned career path with a predetermined outcome- you select an occupational specialty, earn rank and fulfi ll the necessary billets. Contrary to our experience in the military, transition brings choices that can feel overwhelming. Fortunately, there are many great commu- Y Seven Ways To Help Your Kids To A Beautiful Smile SERVICES: DIVORCE $155. Complete preparation.

Well Connected And Well Informed – The Future Looks Bright For Veterans It’s no secret that veterans have a lot to offer the workforce-we are resilient, fl exible, tech savvy and thrive on working in teams. Corporations are taking notice as veteran un- employment is at a 10-year low, lower in fact D Graphic Search Saturday’s Graphic Veterans can use skills they learned in the military to get great jobs as civilians than the national average. In a recent study, LinkedIn took a closer look at the more than 2 million veterans on LinkedIn to gain insight into what happens to veterans after they leave the military. Among the highlights: 1. Information technology (IT) is the No. 1 industry for veteran employment. 2. Professional networks are the No. 1 method that veterans use to fi nd employment. 3. Over 186,000 veterans have achieved the leadership roles of vice president, owner, partner, founder or C-level executive. This report shows a veteran community that is in high demand and thriving in the workforce. It’s a community that has adapted and aligned its skills with high-growth indus- tries, a community that understands the power of networking, of leaders who are rising in the ranks within companies and, most important- ly, a community that seeks to help lift up our brothers and sisters who have served. LinkedIn for Good is LinkedIn’s social impact arm, focused on connecting under- served communities to economic opportunity.
