With its multi-layered composition, Chairside Zirconia does not require sintering or additional finishing, therefore there is no need for a sintering or ceramic oven. It boasts an average flexural strength of 500 MPa without any firing, compared to the 364 MPa average for traditional lithium disilicate milling blocks after firing and crystallization. In addition, Chairside Zirconia is approximately 4.0 µm, which is nearly four times greater than the average traditional zirconia milling puck. Its coarse microstructure combined with exceptional fracture toughness and low scratch hardness allows for superior milling capabilities and results. Plus, unlike traditional zirconia, Chairside Zirconia is designed for wet-milling due to its unique particle structure and density.
“Chairside Zirconia is a revolutionary product that offers significant advantages for clinical dental professionals,” said Roland DGA’s Dental Marketing Manager, Lisa Aguirre. “The unique qualities of this material, along with the minimal finishing time required, make same-day zirconia restorations possible, without compromising strength or esthetics.”
Perfect for single unit, anterior, and posterior restorations, Chairside Zirconia is offered in a variety of shades and milling block sizes. It is compatible with Roland DGA’s DGSHAPE DWX-42W Series Chairside wet-milling solutions and ZGB-125D, ZGB-50D, ZGB25D, and ZGB2-75D milling tools. A money-saving Chairside Zirconia Powered by Roland DGA “Starter Kit,” which includes zirconia blocks in two different shades, three ZGB milling tools, and Polishing Paste, is also available.

The lecture, specifically focused on the importance of self-discovery, aimed to guide attendees on a transformative journey towards personal fulfillment. Prem Rawat shared profound insights aimed at encouraging self-reflection and inspiring positive change.
“You are the most important thing in your life. It is not important what is happening outside but what is happening inside of you. For that you need to know yourself,” said Prem Rawat. “A major objective behind understanding the self is that in life we have control only over ourselves and that self only determines our joy and peace. Hence, knowing self puts us in the driver’s seat in this life.”
In keeping with the stringent criteria that accompany the setting of a new Guinness World Record, adjudicators Mr. Swapnil Dangarikar and Mr. Pravin Patel attended the event and, immediately following Prem’s presentation, officially acknowledged his record-setting performance.
This is the second Guinness World Record that Prem Rawat has achieved.
On April 13, 2023 in Lucknow, India, he set the world record for the largest audience ever to attend a book reading by a single author. At that gathering, 114,707 people listened to him read from his New York Times bestselling book, “Hear Yourself: How to Find Peace in a Noisy World.”
What attracts so many people to Prem Rawat’s events? His extraordinary ability to connect with his audiences and inspire them to more deeply consider their potential to experience peace within themselves and the possibility of living a life of hope and gratitude.
It is the same gift that attracts people to his Peace Education Program, a workshop series that features video excerpts of his talks and helps participants fulfill that potential. Offered freely through his nonprofit, The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF), the program has attracted 400,000 participants in 80 countries.
Most recently, Prem Rawat joined TPRF volunteers in Dubai, UAE, to introduce the Peace Education Program to educators at the Global Educational Supplies and Solutions (GESS) conference, the leading education conference and exhibition in the Middle East.
Already offered at over 1,000 educational institutions, the Peace Education Program is being welcomed at a growing number of high schools and universities because of its potential to promote critical thinking and reflection and to help students develop greater personal awareness and resilience.
Prem Rawat’s humanitarian efforts through TPRF also include relief for people suffering from disasters around the world, and the Food for People program, which has provided over 5.6 million nutritious meals to disadvantaged children and elderly people in India, Ghana and Nepal.
Registered as a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, TPRF has earned the highest rankings from independent evaluators Charity Navigator and Guidestar for transparency, financial accountability and leadership.
Written Informed Consent should improve their health outcomes and make it more likely for the veterans to be involved in their treatment plans. The conference then played a short clip of a NewsMax interview Mr. Spagnola had with John Bachman, which provided statistics and solutions to help these warriors.
It was shocking to Dr. Murphy that our veterans don’t typically have these opportunities to select their treatment modalities and increase their chances for improvement for a better life. This was also the consensus of his peers at the conferences. The need for Written Informed Consent was so obvious that they all stood shoulder-to-shoulder to ensure that this issue becomes a reality.
The support provided Mr. Spagnola assisted his work with veterans, including his work with the American Legion. One result was a resolution in support of Written Informed Consent being approved by the National Executive Committee of the American Legion, May 10-11, 2023, in Indianapolis, Indiana. Resolution No. 18: Written Informed Consent.
Updating the results of this event: Immediately after this resolution by the American Legion, many other likeminded organizations followed suit with support and/or resolutions, such as: The VFW [Veterans of Foreign Wars]; The Association of the U.S. Navy; Military-Veteran Advocacy; Airforce Sergeants Association; Vietnam Veterans of America; Special Forces Association of America; Jewish War Veterans; as well as Reserve Organization of America.
Dr. Murphy pointed out and reminded his colleagues that it is up to us as health care professionals to demonstrate the leadership needed to improve the health and welfare of our communities. These veterans are willing to give all for us—so we can at least show our support for programs and causes that assist better healthcare for them.

Music Therapy is a well-established health profession, employing music within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs. Administered by board-certified Music Therapists, the personalized treatment can include creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music. CMF focuses on the well-being of the child through Music Therapy, helping them manage chronic and acute pain, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and terminal diseases, among various other conditions. The organization’s services extend to children facing autism, blood disorders, cancer, immune deficiencies, lung/heart/kidney diseases, rare diseases, and more.
“The benefits of Music Therapy can be profound – but, too often, the average person or even healthcare providers and insurance companies do not fully comprehend what it is,” states Tracey Burnett, Executive Director of Children’s Music Fund. “Music Therapy not only treats children at the time that they’re in need, but it also provides them the coping skills to be able to continue to deal with chronic illness or complex medical issues that they might be experiencing for the rest of their lives. It’s not just playing an instrument. It’s a collaborative, creative and therapeutic experience.”
Founder and President of Children’s Music Fund Dr. Raffi Tachdjian emphasizes that, “No child or young adult should suffer from the pain, fear and anxiety that comes from illness. As an immunologist with a pediatrics background, I believe in the power of Music Therapy and how it can restore the well-being of the recipients and empower them to do more, live better and reach for greater heights. Imagine a day without sound. Now, imagine hearing your preferred melodies and beats, expressing yourself through lyrics or musical imagery and healing through music. You’re no longer just living, you come alive!”
Michael Ruby, President and Chief Creative Office of Park & Battery adds, “Music has the power to makes us feel a wide range of emotions. It makes us feel joyful when we play our favorite song in the car. It makes us nostalgic when we hear a long-forgotten song from our childhood. Music also has the power to heal. Our campaign seeks to bring music’s unique power and universality to life, so that Children’s Music Fund can empower more Music Therapists and kids with the ability to thrive together. We’re so proud to donate our services to Children’s Music Fund and support this incredible cause.”
The “Music Makes Us Better” campaign includes a 10-minute documentary film on the power of Music Therapy, as well as patient and therapist profiles, all recorded live at the historic Village Studios in Los Angeles, where some of the world’s most famous songs and albums gave been created. The national multichannel effort includes broadcast, digital and social media.
“The ‘Music Makes Us Better’ campaign uses the universal language of music to connect us with a purpose – to make a difference in a life of a child,” says Ronda Grech, Board Chairperson of Children’s Music Fund. “Thanks to Park & Battery, we look to highlight the benefits of Music Therapy and the healing power it provides to the children and young adults with chronic conditions and life-altering illnesses.

The basic longevity quiz is available at no charge. It provides a person’s projected lifespan based on family history, lifestyle, and current health. For more in-depth information, everyone can order their full-featured Longevity Report with personalized testing and therapy recommendations based on their answers.
The full Longevity Report is available for $10 for a limited time. Use the code HALFOFF after completing the longevity quiz.
“It seems that everyone is at least curious about their current health, risk factors, and estimated longevity,” says MDLifespan Founder and CEO Dr. Paul Savage. “Answers to the longevity quiz are entered into an algorithm which generates a ‘longevity score,’ a projected life expectancy number based on their health habits, family history, social activity and more.”
Dr Savage told MailOnline: ‘I designed the Longevity Score as a method of inspiring people to evaluate the impact of their environment, lifestyle, and the impact of their family history on their longevity.”
According to the MailOnline article, the “average life expectancy for men is 79 in the UK and 73 in the US, while women are expected to live until 83 in the UK and 79 in the US.”
A second article, in the New York Post, featuring comments by Dr. Savage and links to the Longevity Report page on our website. As quoted in the article, “I want people to use this score so that they can take actions to help boost their health and their longevity,”
Dr. Savage told the New York Post: “As my grandfather says, ‘If you don’t look, then you will not see it, and if you don’t measure, then you cannot fix it,'”
“With this top-tier news coverage, we are experiencing the largest volume of traffic since launching the MDLifespan website,” says Dr. Savage.
“Longevity Report was created to educate the public and assist those interested in optimizing their health for as long as they live,” says Dr. Savage. “For example, if a person says they are 20 years old, 5′ 10″ and 150 lbs. and responds to every question with the optimal answer, their score would be 100.”
“Of the questions included in the questionnaire, some answers can reduce your score considerably,” says Dr. Savage. “For example, sitting (aka the new smoking), the number of vegetables consumed per day, fasting (time between meals), smoking, heavy drinking, and family history reduce the score from between 2 to 6 years each.”
The basic Longevity Report questionnaire with results showing estimated lifespan is available online at no charge. For a limited time, the full-featured Longevity Report can be ordered for just $10. Use the code HALFOFF after completing the questionnaire. Go to MyLongevityReport.com

The stiffness of the structure led to situations where the load and positioning of each platform section could not be accurately monitored. Sacrificing the natural ductility and bending strength of the steel structure (by articulation), limited the system’s ability to distribute loads across different sections, making it vulnerable to peak loads.
By contrast, today’s rigid or hybrid structures, unlike hinged/articulated ones, flex under load. This characteristic, along with the extension of loaded wire ropes, allows for more effective load distribution, just like your car’s suspension. It is not surprising therefore an articulated platform needs 50% more capacity to achieve the same safety/nominal lifting capacity.
The difference between rigid/hybrid and articulated designs becomes even more evident with difficult hull forms, such as those with interrupted keel blocks, large overhangs, or abnormal peak loads. However, the paramount advantage of the rigid/hybrid platform is still its enhanced safety.
Since its start in 1957, 283 installations have been ordered and we have lifted more than 3 million ships – a testament to the concept of lifting ships out of the water. In 2023 Syncrolift is considered the safest and most productive way to launch new ships and lift those in service. Even nuclear-powered submarines are lifted today with live reactors.
However, not all 283 installations are still in service – in fact, 89 (over 30%) of them are currently inactive.
Why? There are several reasons:
Lack of maintenance – any mechanical device needs maintenance, or it will fail.
The original Syncrolift was a package of constituent products with no overall design control.
The original Syncrolift had no means of load indication, and many were often overloaded.
The original Syncrolift had an extremely high starting current and was expensive to run.
Some owners went out of business due to factors not necessarily related to the product.
In 67 years, some serious limitations of the original concept have been revealed which is hardly surprising, given that significant changes have occurred in shipbuilding technology. Many of those factors that made the original Syncrolift such a success have been overtaken by more effective designs and modern proven technology.
Again, safety must be paramount in the shipbuilding industry and should always come first. Many shiplifts have remained in service without incident after Lloyds Register introduced the Code for Lifting Appliances in a Marine Environment during the ’80s with that in mind. However, the safety of life and limb cannot be solely dependent on legacy engineering or the Maintenance Manager.
In recent years we have become aware of the growth of operational incidents occurring with articulated platforms. Wire Rope breakage has been the main factor in older lifts and the fact that those older platforms are articulated has become critical. If one wire rope breaks on an articulated platform it can cause platform sections to tip or fall. When that happens, the wire ropes in adjacent hoists go out of alignment, and the sheave edges can abrade those ropes too. In the worst case, the lift collapses and drops its load. This is not acceptable. As the OEM we have become increasingly concerned about this growth of articulated incidents to the point we think shiplift owners should be making changes for the safety of ships in the yard, and their personnel. Some prudent articulated shiplift owners have already secured platform beams with safety wires, and/or changed their articulated platforms to a rigid configuration. They are now benefiting from the upgrade to 2020’s technology. Our modern platform is a rigid structure, and in unlikely wire rope breakage case due to lack of maintenance or such circumstances, the platform structure absorbs the extra load until replacement of the wire can be made or continue the operation to reduce the load.
Note – we do not endorse other lifting media like chain as a means of ensuring correct design and functionality. Wire rope still remains the most suitable lifting medium for shiplifts, considering factors such as safety, redundancy, environmental impact, maintenance costs, downtime, risk assessment, smooth operation, component fatigue life, lack of proper monitoring, etc.
Why put your whole shipyard at risk when we can guarantee no platform structure will drop in the water if you change your articulated lift to a rigid configuration with Calypso?
For all the above reasons, and because this is so important, Syncrolift is today offering our “Calypso™” upgrade service so older shiplifts can be upgraded to a safer configuration and reduce the daily costs of operation.
As the OEM for all 283 Syncrolift installations, our free Calypso safety consultation will evaluate the safety of your older articulated Syncrolift on any installation with more than 4 hoists. Even 4-hoist units can benefit from modern technology. Many of the simple changes we will likely recommend can be undertaken by your own shipbuilding personnel.
Our recommended changes can range from simply upgrading the platform to a rigid structure, to changes in control functions, components, and the addition of a Fluid Bed Transfer System. These will all significantly increase your safety of operation while lowering your applied loads. In addition, you can derive even greater benefits, as follows:
Reduced power consumption
Increased Nominal lifting capacity. (>15%)
Increased component life, meaning overall life extension of your system.
Lower-cost electric motors
Major reduction in starting currents
Automated smart lifting.
Fast Docking systems like automated blocking and in-haul systems
Remote analysis so your problems can be evaluated without coming to the site.
The obvious success of Syncrolift has been imitated by others over the years, and there are a number of articulated platforms around the world that may or may not still be in service. So, if you are operating a shiplift supplied by Bardex, Brohl, Hydraudyne, IMG, Pearlson Shiplift Corp, Schiess Defries, or by others, call Syncrolift. Safety is our goal – and we will help you make your life safer, and hopefully save you some money too.
How do you know if your Syncrolift has an articulated platform? If no platform drawings are available, look at your Hoists or Motor Control Center. If there is a brass plate bearing the name “Pearlson Engineering Corp” you have an articulated platform.
Why not take advantage of this free consultation offer? We guarantee no platform structure will drop in the water if you change your articulated lift to a rigid configuration with Calypso.
