Surprisingly, Paris, France did not make it on this list for either Yr 2019 nor Yr 2020. Surely people are missing-out on a fabulous city; one that remains the travel destination for many from around the globe. But then, the Parisian visitors may not be using AIRBNB?? I am also very surprised at who got the #1 spot; but further reading gave the explanation. BTW, years ago, I worked with a gal whose parents went to this town on their honeymoon. She was so embarrassed on their behalf 'coz in her estimation it was low on the totem-pole of exciting cities to visit, LoL. Personally, #5, #8, #17 and #18 are on my bucket list. May the Lord God make it possible!

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
Just as I thought. There is nothing written in stone about Dental X-ray requirements by my state.
Dental X-ray Laws
X-rays are often a part of dental exams, and while there is no statutory direction as to how often a dentist must take X-rays, there is a general liability issue.
Dentists should take X-rays in a "reasonable" time span to justify that he or she didn't disregard patients' oral health care. A dentist isn't legally required to take X-rays every six months or every year, particularly in patients who generally enjoy good oral health. However, if the dentist doesn't take X-rays and something happens, then he or she will be judged by the standards of the profession which indicate that it is proper to use X-rays for diagnostic purposes; it is difficult to do a thorough diagnosis without taking X-rays at reasonable intervals throughout the patient's "lifetime" at the dental office.
While dental patients have the right to refuse X-rays, the dentists also have the right to set a policy in their office dictating how often they take them for diagnostic purposes. X-rays provide your dentist with a valuable diagnostic tool that helps assess the overall condition of your teeth and their roots, jaw placement and overall composition of your facial bones. X-rays help your dentist see diseases of the teeth and surrounding tissue that cannot be seen with a basic visual oral examination and find and treat dental problems early in their development. This can potentially save you money, unnecessary discomfort and maybe even your life.
If the dentist has a policy that X-rays are to be taken at a given interval, and the patient refuses, the dentist has the right (although he or she may choose not exercise it) to dismiss the patient from his or her practice. The reason for this is that both the patient and dentist should be comfortable with the dentist/patient relationship and, should there be disagreement on fundamental treatment, then both parties would be better served in an environment where they both are comfortable.

I took exception to my Dentist's requirement that I have a full-mouth, panoramic dental x-ray ... which in reality is 17 X-rays of my teeth. It's been a couple of years, says he. As far as I knew, my teeth and gums were fine. I had no cavities, toothaches nor open sores. So, why not do the simple, twice-yearly dental cleaning without me having to compromise my health via radiation, for pete's sake?!! Office overhead $$$ getting a bit too much for you, Mr Dentist-with-the-expensive-indoor-waterfall?!!
Still, I am grateful to live in this beautiful, clean country of the U.S. of A! Watch the dental video below from India. It'll make you either wince, gag, cry, laugh. Maybe all 4.
William Carey had boldness in life because of his confidence in the God of the Bible. This in spite of the extreme hardships thru life's journey which he experienced that included his young child's death and the severe mental problems of his wife.
We are celebrating his date of birth (17 August 1761). and the country ofIndia's Independence Day(August 15).His most famous quote has as its basis the Bible verse below. I love this reminder from God to be brave and to take risks for His sake. Carey certainly took it to heart. He is considered the father of modern missions.

Enlarge the place of thy tent ... For thou shalt break forth ...
Carey also had this to say as to the secret of his "success" in life. Note: he spent 41 long years in India -- without furlough!!
