The notion has been dubbed "a folly." The very recent announcement by the former CEO of a coffee chain
has been met with speculation so underscored: Strains of Donald Trump?
Former Starbucks Chief Executive Officer Howard Schultz's proclamation about moving into an independent run for the presidency has been received with mixed opinions, mainly voiced by Jeff Greenfield, a sensible newsman/journalist..
Greenfield's immediate reaction: "What exactly, explains why a billionaire former CEO of a coffee chains thinks he can launch an independent run for president in 2020?"
The aforementioned Schultz's announcement provoked some speculations: One based on the false promise that "a successful business career suggests presidential timber."
A stark reminder surfaces which has surfaced loud and clear: "It's the same myth" that "gave us Donald Trump, after he played "a firm, decisive business leader on The
As the storyline on The Apprentice went on and on, audiences started to criticize what that aforementioned show was all about: The main character was Trump himself.
The emphasis was incessantly meant to falsely display how a business executive ran his manifold business enterprises and had that lengthy movie of the same go on for the longest time. That same movie was the subject of many a critic on what it was angling at.
Realistically, the movie over time didn't show how the real work was performed in Washington. It hardly depicted any skills or brains relevant to understanding how Congress, government, and politics work together toward a successful outcome that would prove critical to pushing and moving policies throughout the system.
There was an unrealistic and unfortunate aspect of that same show depicted on television.
Sadly, Supreme Court rulings have indicated "allowing unlimited political spending." It was highly noted how that same judiciary "opened the door for billionaires to finance national campaigns,"
in the delusional belief they can serve as saviors to "an alienated majority."
What has proven true and correct in the realm of historical reality is that third-party candidates always get far fewer votes than the Republican and Democratic nominees, as borne
by post election records.
The speculation in the event Schultz runs and receives three (3) percent of the vote, that outcome might prove a "disaster" for the Democrats.
Why? Is the query?
The negative would tip critical swing votes to Trump who started his re-election plans most early enough, as soon as he was sworn in as the 45th president.
Time has proven, how, each time, an independent run for the presidency, is "the triumph of arrogance over wisdom."
As proofs have surfaced (and more probably will be added on the Trump presidency, "government officials are constantly scrambling to use federal resources in vain attempts to turn the president's lies into truth."
Past records prove how certain government officials have exerted so much effort which commenced right after Trump was inaugurated. Trump demanded that the National Park Service prove the new president's claim that his crowd was larger than President Obama's.
How Trump himself set up a now disbanded federal commission in aiming to prove that voter fraud was rampant was one of his long-heard gripes; how he ordered his aides to lie to justify his claim that thousands of Middle Easterners had been arrested at the Mexican border likewise became another well-disseminated Trump statement.
One of the most egregious lies was cited by news sources was when Trump got White House officials to put forth a "doctored video" to make it look as if Cable News Network (CNN) reporter Jim Acosta had manhandled a young female staffer.
Much more "reverse engineering" took place after Trump repeatedly claimed that sex traffickers had smuggled scores of helpless women bound and gaged with duct tape in windowless vans across the southern border.
Now that the 2020 election scene is drawing much closer, how much more will a Howard Schultz candidacy compile multiple rounds of what a presidency exemplified by Trump show?
Thus far, with the number of Democratic hopefuls getting longer and longer, Year 2020 will invoke more details of what it will entail to mount a presidency.
Will there be other candidates from another political group/organization aside from the principal parties?
It is close to the middle of 2019, it won't be surprising to see more and more aspirants to the election of 2020.
The voter will be undertaking a crucial decision by the ballot box.

Weighing in
Monday morning means I have to tick off my to-do list. A lot of the things on this list are workouts- this morning I weighed my self, and somehow I managed to gain 2 lbs- despite the fact that I've been tracking my food and exercise for the last week. This whole year has been a mess. I knew that I had gained weight when I tried on my jeans the other day- and I knew that it was probably from the road trip.. Eating crap that I don't normally eat. I'm not trying to say that I'm fat- I'm not trying to say poor me... I'm trying to say that I'm trying to be as fit as I can be, I want to get rid of the extra weight that I've been holding onto this whole year. It's only 10-15 lbs. But it feels like a ton. I feel uncomfortable in my own skin, and when I look at myself I realize that Yes I have put on a lot of muscle in the last 4 years, but I have also put a layer of fat which I don't need. I don't want to go crazy, but I need to figure out why my body isn't responding to the way that I eat and the way I exercise. V seems to think it's because I do the same stuff often- but I can't imagine what else I'm supposed to do.. I do cardio, strength and yoga.. Maybe I'm not doing enough.. I don't know but it's really frustrating to get on the scale and see that number. The whole year that I was watching what I ate I only got down to half of my goal, but mostly I hovered...

Is Neheb, the Worthy good and how would you build around him
So I pulled a Neheb, the Worthy as my first and only Amonkhet mythic. It's interesting and seems like in the right space it could be good. Not sure if there's enough good minotaurs to build a tribal or not. Maybe perhaps a "discard" deck to keep the opponent empty of cards.
The walkers I have to work with currently: Chandra 1.0, Saheeli, Liliana 1.0, and Tezz 2.0. I'm trying to limit to standard legal.
So what would build with Neheb?
Avacyn Age Unconfirmed Posts: 89 Match Maker
Cards like Scrapheap Scrounger and Dread Wanderer would not be ideal to hard cast. But great for cheating into play.
With Neheb, you can cheat them into play easy from his discarding ability. He also works well with Embalm.0
I thought I'd update to anyone that actually looks outside of General:
I've been running Neheb in my new Koth deck, and it is actually quite good.
The List:
Neheb, The Worthy
Ahn-Crop Crasher
Battlefield Scavenger
Emberhorn Minotaur
Scab-Clan Berserker
Volcanic Rambler
Painted Bluffs
Unlicensed Disentegration
Exquisite Firecraft
Get 1 or 2 non-Neheb minotaurs on the field. Keep the field clear of big things with Firecraft and Disentegration. Berserker clears out small things. If the berserker has cleared the field I won't hesitate to replace her with Neheb. Prior to dropping Neheb, exile from hand to leave just one card in hand after he drops. Most of the time, once he is down it is game over.
Scavenger can help pull up Neheb or Minotaurs and is a cheap body. This piece can come or go. The Rambler is just a good body that can do some board reset which can help out Koth most of the time. I would probably replace these both for better alternatives. Hazoret (if I had it) might be good since Neheb wants only one card in hand anyway. Of course that is one less creature slot for a minotaur, though most games I usually have one minotaur, Neheb, and one other anyway.
Other possible replacements: Demolish for Violent Impact since it can cycle. Rambler or Firecraft for Deem Worthy also because it cycles with bonus.
It may not work at higher levels, but right now I get a kick outta this deck.
So, what do you all think?0
Twee Age Unconfirmed Posts: 56 Match MakerI use him for denial. Him with Harald of anguish, transgress the mind, unburden, and that 6/6 rare guy that makes the opponent discard 2 when he etb.0
mrixl2520 Posts: 240 Tile TopplerI opened him as well and I have a million okay ideas and zero great ideas. He's almost got too many things going on: buffing minotaurs, having first strike, discarding cards. He fits well in a lot of decks, but I want him in a deck where I can use all of his abilities to their greatest extent.0


text: LGBT Movement Goes Beyond Acceptance To Seeking Totalitarian Power By Jonathon Van Maren/Bridgehead.ca August 08, 2019 Share this article: As the culture wars heat up between the American Left and Right, progressive journalists are increasingly falling back on a powerful and succinct statement to push the public into a nostalgia for the Obama years: This isn't normal.None of this, they write and tweet and blog endlessly, is "normal": Not the erratic presidential tweets, not the belligerent presidential tone, and not what they claim is Trump's "treasonous" behavior. I'm not unsympathetic to many of the arguments being made about civility, decorum, and the rest of the things that keep George Will up at night. But I do think that the media are engaging in a sophisticated game of gaslighting in the meantime. What the media is doing while shrieking about our vanishing standards of normalcy is waging an all-out war on the idea of the male-female gender binary itself. While they are highlighting the abnormal nature of a president who tweets out spur-of-the-moment policy, they are pushing child drag queens and transgender children and pregnant "men" and "women" with penises as if these things were not an absolutely revolutionary attack on the social fabric of the West. We are supposed to believe that a president lashing out at the media is a catastrophic assault on The Way Things Were, and a child drag queen is a symbol of our liberation.When I write about the latest manifestations of transgender ideology, some people ask a very reasonable question: Why can't we just ignore all this stuff? To many, following the media's strange "human interest" stories about Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner feeling "broody" and wanting children with a partner a half-century younger seems like Jerry Springer-style voyeurism. And in many ways, that's what it is. But it is important to realize that the media are utilizing America's obsession with the vapid lives of celebrities to normalize transgenderism. Pretty soon, things that once made people gasp will make them shrug. That's already starting to happen. People who were once outraged by Drag Queen Storytime and gender ideology in schools are becoming desensitized. The media are flooding the airwaves with non-stop stories that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. The Pasadena Star News ruminated about whether the city might be open to nominating a transgender Rose Queen, a story virtually created by the media (a journalist asks an official whether it might be considered, the official responds with ambiguous language, and there's your transgender story). Another story outlined the fact that "sperm production for transgender women" might yet be possible, while Victoria's Secret announced that they'd hired a transgender lingerie model - a biological male presenting as a women. A couple in Berkeley, California came out to announce that both of their children, at ages four and eight, were transgender, and that they were going public to "normalize" hormone blockers and the rest of the devastating "treatments" that view puberty as a threat. Not a day goes by without one media outlet or another pushing a story that treats the transgender ideology as fact. I'm not sure precisely when the media moguls met behind closed doors and collectively decided to begin using phrases like "her penis" and "his breasts," but a quick look at any article dealing with the transgender issue lately proves that such meetings and such directives did, in fact, happen. What we're seeing with this calculated media campaign - even with the crazy transgender celebrity stories - is an effort to overload a skeptical public until they go from recoiling to rolling their eyes. But politics is downstream from culture, and the LGBT movement is not simply seeking acceptance - they are demanding a particularly totalitarian form of power.I don't enjoy writing about the transgender insanity that is gripping the West, especially not when it involves keeping up with these sorts of stories. But it is essential that we recognize what is going on here. While they rage about Trump's tweets and advocate for a return to "normalcy," the Left is attempting to normalize an ideology that fundamentally upends our understanding of family, gender, society, and humanity itself. This is nothing short of a revolution, and the consequences of this revolution will be the destruction of our society as we know it now.

Will Harry and Meghan move abroad? Courtiers 'planning job in Africa'
#RoyalNews, #RoyalFamily,
Subscribe Latest Royal News: https://bit.ly/2ukpGNc
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could move abroad to Africa for two to three years for a 'bespoke' international job that will utilise their 'rock star' status, it has been revealed.The royal couple, who are expecting their first child in the next few days, are set to be given a role that involves the Commonwealth, charity work and promoting Britain following the birth of their first child.Sir David Manning, the former British ambassador to the U.S. and Lord Geidt, the Queen's former private secretary, are said to have drawn up the plans.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will supposedly be allowed to settle into their home in Frogmore Cottage with the baby before a decision is made about where they should go, according to the Sunday Times.Although this is unlikely to be decided until next year, the role is likely to be in Africa because of the couple's ties there.It holds a special place in the couple's hearts as Harry took Meghan to his favourite luxury camp Meno a Kwena in Botswana, to celebrate Meghan's 36th birthday and mark their first year together. They recently gave the public a unique glimpse into their 2017 trip, sharing stunning never-before-seen photos on their new Instagram account. One of the moving shots shows the royal couple tending to a large bull elephant in the bush, equipping him with a satellite collar.Their Royal Highnesses were assisting Dr. Mike Chase of Elephants Without Borders, who is working to protect elephant populations by tracking their movements. Harry was rumoured to have proposed in Botswana, and Meghan's engagement ring includes a center diamond from Botswana, which is cushioned by two smaller diamonds from Princess Diana's collection. On Meghan's first ever wildlife safari, the couple watched the sun set behind a spectacular vista of acacia thorn trees and green-backed herons fishing in the river.Prince Harry also spent a gap year in Lesotho back in 2004. He once described it as his 'second home'.A source told the Sunday Times: 'There are discussions in palace circles about: how do we harness Harry and Meghan? How do you harness this phenomenon that has emerged? You make it productive.' A spokesman for the royal family didn't deny the reports and said: 'Any future plans for The Duke and Duchess are speculative at this stage. No decisions have been taken about future roles.'The Duke will continue to fulfil his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.' The news comes after Meghan and Harry left Kensington Palace and moved into Frogmore Cottage in Windsor earlier this month, separating their royal household from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. In recent months, rumours have swirled about a royal rift between the two brothers and their spouses. There were claims that Kate broke down in tears following Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid's dress fitting, ahead of Meghan and Harry's wedding in May, as well as suggestions the pair had clashed over staff.However, royal insiders have insisted that there has been no fallin

When looking back, he thought it odd that at some earlier time he had believed his actions to be self-directed. Now, with the blank pages leading towards a conclusion, he studied the chapters, the paragraphs, the sentences, his choice ( his?) of words, even the punctuation that had always seemed to be such a random act of selection, and suspected that he had always been wrong. It was not his story.
He wanted to write a Mills and Boon, but feared for his spiritual wellbeing.
The air hostess appeared and beckoned Lucy up the steps. She stepped on to the jet, slowly. The first thing she noticed was the scent of luxury – it cannot be replicated. She could smell fresh paint, thick wool carpet, good whisky and the far-off scent of a half-smoked cigar, lingering in the air like a promise. These assaulted her. She walked through into the cabin. And then she saw him.
Darcy was standing in the middle of the cabin, his hand extended in welcome, a cool, professional smile on his lips. He was so tall – six foot two, at least – that when he stood, he dwarfed his surroundings. He stared intently at her, opened his green eyes a fraction wider and took in her amazed expression. He withdrew his hand and swiftly gestured the air hostess away. "What the hell," he said to Lucy, in a chilling, almost guttural whisper, "are you doing here?"

In my mind, Beauty Pie is the only beauty subscription box that makes any sort of sense because you actually get to choose what you get.
Most subscription services work like a lucky dip, in which you end up paying a lot of money for something that you might like. Personally, I wouldn't waste my money on them.
(Also, in terms of their CRUELTY FREE STATUS, they say: At BEAUTY PIE, we do not believe in or authorize animal testing for our products or the ingredients that go into our products. (This means we do not do animal testing, our suppliers do not do animal testing, nor do we pay people to do animal testing for us). Each of our product information files contains a declaration from the supplier that their products are not tested on animals, and that the ingredients comply with the European Ban on Animal Testing.)
Beauty Pie works like a membership club where you pay a monthly payment and then get to choose hundreds of products from their line at factory based prices. It's been around for a few years now, so they have a tonne of things to choose from. You essentially get to access top lab produced product without typical retail markups.
However, if you're the sort of person who doesn't buy makeup and skincare that often this may not be for you. The marketing obviously conveys that you should only have to pay £2 for a mascara, but clearly the business model requires more economic input than that! The subscription means that you will be encouraged to buy more, of course. But this is ideal if you want to do a bulk buy of great products and saves a lot of money.
Here's an example of how it works:
Plantastic Apricot Cleansing Balm
Typical Price: £50
Members Pay: £13.67
With a £5/month membership this is an example of what you have access to buy. So essentially (typical market price) £50 is going to cost £5 in membership, £100 = £10/month etc. This cleansing balm essentially costs £20.
I think this is so worth it. The quality of the product I have tried so far has been excellent, and I am the sort of person who would happily pay this amount per month. If you are the kind of person who spends plenty of money on beauty this is well worth it. So far I've paid for a 3 month membership, and saved up my allowance to do a big splurge and save on delivery costs. The lipsticks are great, the candles are probably the bets I've tried and the skincare is faultless too.
My advice would be to start with the mini membership, let the allowance add up and spend all the money in one big shop. You'll save on delivery costs and it is such a treat to get all that product in one go !
I'm well considering getting the 12 month membership for £99. It's £100/month spending limit and 2 months free. And I just know I'll use up all that credit. Candles, lipstick, nail polish, makeup brushes ….
I will definitely be writing reviews for some of the products, and hugely impressed so far.
What do you think ?

Are You Prepared for a Major Disaster?
Disasters can strike in many forms year-round: whether it's a tornado or hurricane in the warmer months, a winter snowstorm, or a sudden earthquake, we Americans have a wide variety of emergencies that can affect the places where we live. So are you prepared for a major disaster? If you haven't thought about what you would do in the event of a natural or even a manmade catastrophe, then we strongly recommend you take a few minutes to read this introduction to the essential disaster planning considerations – and then spend a few hours and budget a few hundred dollars to get yourself ready in case you don't have some of the basic supplies. Even if you don't have this amount of money available right now, then at least you can start to plan and prioritize your savings to set yourself and your family up for success. Nothing would be worse than to face a disaster situation without the critical supplies you need for your family to survive, and knowing that you could have prepared far better.
You can survive for longer than you think without food, and shorter than you think without water. In just a matter of a few days, you could die of dehydration, so planning for emergency water is one of your most important considerations. Do the math for a gallon of water per person per day as a minimum, and then plan how you'll get this water into your vehicle. (Will you use bottled water, or buy larger jugs or emergency bladders?) Water purification systems for survival are also great purchases in case you're stuck living outdoors.
Obviously we all like to eat, and life gets difficult enough under ordinary circumstances when we're hungry. Now imagine fending for yourself in a disaster evacuation scenario, and add hunger on top of the concerns you have to contend with. You can set the conditions now to eat later if you do some calorie math (2,000 per person per day as a minimum) – there are great, compact emergency meal kits available through a variety of retailers, so do some research and figure out what will best fit your budget and, even more importantly, your vehicle's space.
Whether you plan to travel to escape the disaster, or if you're caught hunkering down at home, think about where you'll sleep if your primary residence is destroyed and there aren't other options available in the immediate aftermath. Exposure to the elements can be deadly, so make sure you're equipped with at least a basic tent or tents which will house your family temporarily, as well as basic supplies like sleeping bags, flashlights and extra batteries.
Even in the summer, temperatures can dip into cool ranges, and if you're wet or hungry (and especially if you're wet and hungry), having a reliable source of heat will make a world of difference for both your morale and your safety. Maintain some basic fire-starting supplies on hand in your emergency kit, including fuel to keep the flames going, as well as a knife and other survival equipment like paracord and simple cooking supplies like pots, pans, plates and utensils.
Where will you go if disaster strikes and you need to get out of there fast? Even if you have family or friends close by, it's probably a good idea to ask them in advance if you can come crash with them. If you'll need to travel a considerable distance, then plan primary and alternate routes to get to the various locations where you might need to evacuate. Keep in mind that panicky people will naturally flock to main roads like interstates, and if the gridlock gets bad enough, you could get stuck on the road just miles from your home. Knowing the back roads could be a lifesaver! (Also remember that you might not have a cell signal, so you'll want to have an old-fashioned road atlas in your vehicle to help with emergency route selection.) Don't forget about your fuel situation either – having extra gas cans now could allow you to buy extra fuel on your way out of town and ultimately enough fuel to get your family outside of the disaster zone.
Make a checklist with everything you'll need to remember when you're stressed out during a disaster situation so that you won't forget something essential like medications, or pet food, or your family's critical documentation, or even something as important as a young child's favorite blanket. Talking through the plan with your family in advance can also ease their minds in case a disaster actually occurs – they'll know what to do, and this will not only reduce the stress level at least a little bit, but even more importantly it will get you on the road faster. Preposition your emergency supplies and checklist in an easily accessible place like your garage, and periodically review the plan to keep yourself fresh. Hopefully you won't ever need to use any of these supplies or skills, but in the event of a major disaster, you'll take heart knowing you did everything you could to be as prepared as possible!

How Does Abandonment Affect a Divorce in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin is a no-fault divorce state, but one spouse's abandonment or desertion can have a big affect on child custody. The person who abandons the marriage will still be financially responsible for child support, spousal maintenance, and any property that gets divided. The parent that didn't abandon the marriage will be given "de facto" custody by default.
Serving Divorce Papers During Abandonment
After one spouse files a Summons and Petition for Divorce[1] to a Wisconsin court, the divorce papers should be served to the other spouse within a 90-day period–or at least attempts be made regardless of whether that person can easily be found.
Divorce papers can be served by:
- Admission of Service form[2] signed by a spouse
- Process server
- Police officer
- Sheriff's department
- Friend
- Relative
The other spouse must then file a Response and Counterclaim within 20 days after being served. However, should the spouse not be served or refuse to send a written response, Wisconsin courts can enter a default judgment against the missing party.
The spouse who has abandoned the other party may risk the court not siding on his or her behalf should this person have a change of heart later–even in the case of the mandatory 120-day waiting period before the divorce can be finalized.
Abandonment is not an effective way to avoid getting a divorce. Because Wisconsin is a no-fault divorce state, grant for a divorce can be approved simply from one party saying there is an irretrievable breakdown or inability to repair the marriage.
Child Custody Risks for Disappearing Spouse
If both parties have children, and although abandonment may not affect the way property and finances are decided upon, the abandoning party could risk child custody and placement if this person cannot be found.
Child placement is decided by a family law judge, who looks out for the best interests of the child. If one spouse has disappeared during the court proceedings, this may alarm a judge when it comes to scheduling child custody visits and legal custody.
A couple who has been separated for 12 months can convert that legal separation into a divorce, if both parties agree to it. Neither party can remarry while legally separated or anywhere in the world six months after the divorce.
In the event that one party has purposely abandoned the other for safety concerns, it is in the abandoning party's best interest to share this information if the separation or abandonment would affect parental rights.
Even as a no-fault state, if a significant other of the disappearing spouse is the cause or initiator of the abandonment, Wisconsin courts may take that into account for child placement rights as well.
Am I Allowed to Refuse Being Served?
As discussed in Vause v. Vause, 140 Wis.2d 157, 409 N.W.2d 412 (Ct. App. 1987)[3], a person cannot refuse to accept service and then object that the service and notice was incomplete. Once served, a person must decide whether to appear in court or not, however he will not have the defense of not being served.

Why, yes, baby and I DID recently take a trip. On an airplane. Alone. And, oh, it was quite the adventure! It began early in the morning when I realized that OMG BABY, why do I need to pack so much stuff? This was a 6 day trip and normally I would have taken a carry-on and a backpack, but with a baby suddenly I was checking a car seat, stroller, jungle gym, playpen, crib, and ten suitcases.* My BFF, having no idea what she was getting herself into, drove us to the airport and helped to roll all our stuff inside. Thank you, Sleepy Wrap, for allowing me to be hands-free! And then Abe fell asleep as we walked to our gate, which was, of course, at the other end of the universe. He slept through security and getting a snack, and gate checking the stroller, and woke up just in time to board the plane. Yikes!
And because a baby makes things take forever, I was one of the last people to board. And because Southwest doesn't assign seats, there were only middle seats left. Crap. I was so nervous about being THAT WOMAN with the crying baby that everybody on the plane would hate. But luckily, I sat between a reasonably friendly but uninterested woman and a very friendly, on her way to visit her grandbaby woman who chatted Abe up the whole flight. Luckily too, my baby is awesome and did not cry much. Mid-flight, though, he decided it was lunchtime and I nursed him! Awkwardly! In between two strangers! His custom as of late is to also empty his bowels during mealtime, and I was literally praying that this would not happen. But then I felt the rumblings. And my sweet, darling, precious son proceeded to have the longest, loudest poop known to man. My prayer quickly changed to just PLEASE let it all stay in his diaper. But no dice. I pick him up only to find a yellow crescent on my jeans. And because there was turbulence, I couldn't get up to change him. For the rest of the flight. So there we are, sitting between two strangers, covered in poop, for the next hour. Hooray!
Then we had to change planes, which was fine. I had our schedule all planned out: after the immediate changing, feed me, play, feed him, put him to sleep. Just in time for the next flight! Which was then delayed! Luckily, he slept through most of it anyway, until the descent when he woke up crying probably due to ear pressure. I glanced anxiously around, hoping no one was giving me an evil stare. Instead, they gave me advice! Rub his ears! Give him a pacifier! Yay for nice strangers!
The trip back was somewhat better because 1) I knew what to expect and 2) there was a stop, but we didn't have to change planes. But the poop escapade repeated itself (seriously, baby?), except we got to use the changing table in the tiny, gross bathroom. Which really wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be. The table was very sturdy. Then later, when the crying began, a flight attendant took him and walked him around the plane! Walking and being held are his two favorite things, so this worked out quite well. She even sang to him! It was pretty great, I have to say. Not only does it take a village to raise a child, it also takes a flight crew.
*Warning! This post contains a slight amount of exaggeration.

British officials admonish Trump after 'unhelpful' terror tweets
Exactly one month ago, Donald Trump held a bizarre press conference in which he tried to defend his response to racist violence in Charlottesville. Asked why it took so long for him to denounce white supremacists, the president had an explanation in mind.
"I wanted to make sure, unlike most politicians, that what I said was correct, not make a quick statement," Trump said, adding, "[Y]ou don't make statements that direct unless you know the facts. It takes a little while to get the facts…. I don't want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts…. When I make a statement, I like to be correct. I want the facts…. This event just happened. Before I make a statement, I need the facts."
And yet, there was Trump this morning, responding with lightning speed this morning to the detonation of a device aboard a London subway train, tweeting, "Another attack in London by a loser terrorist. These are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!" Whether the president had Scotland Yard's permission to share those details is unclear. (The message also implicitly suggested law enforcement officials in the U.K. hadn't done enough.)
The American president quickly added, in the hopes of exploiting the violence to advance his agenda, "The travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific – but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!" What he was proposing in practical terms was unclear.
Our allies were not impressed.
Britain's Prime Minister rebuked President Donald Trump Friday after he tweeted that "a loser terrorist" responsible for a subway train blast had been "in the sights" of London's Metropolitan Police.
Asked whether Trump knew something that the British public did not, PM Theresa May said: "I never think it's helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation."
Her former chief of staff, Nick Timothy, went further, describing Trump's comment as "so unhelpful from leader of our ally and intelligence partner."
It'd be less jarring if this were the first time Trump responded badly to an attack in London, but it's not.
In early June, following a terrorist attack in London, Trump responded by talking about his Muslim ban, feuding needlessly with the city's mayor, and for some reason, throwing in a complaint about gun control.
In both instances, the American president reacted first and received detailed information second. Trump has obviously told a breathtaking number of lies, but perhaps the most ridiculous of all was his declaration, "I don't want to go quickly and just make a statement for the sake of making a political statement. I want to know the facts."

Many years ago I was playing a Star Wars themed multiplayer arena game. Two players would duel and others were waiting in the queue and spectating. Only once a player had been defeated, another one would take their place.
You had three lightsaber attacks: quick and weak, slow and strong and an average one.
There was one player who used nothing but the slow and strong attack that would kill a player in a single strike. And this looked kind of dumb/boring/uncreative and the mood was darkening and people were complaining because that player kept felling his opponents with that tactic, since he only had to hit them once to defeat them.
But since this was according to the game's rules, so there was nothing we could do but leave, at some point I realized what to do:
I had to get that part of my mind out of the way that complained about a supposed unfairness or the bad style of that player.
So I did and became inventive. Once I got past said point, it was easy to figure out a suitable counter-strategy: Not getting hit had highest priority, and since his attack was slow, that was actually not that difficult. To nicely balance things out and become his nemesis, I used nothing but the weak and quick attack, and I combined it with many feints. He couldn't adapt to that strategy, and that made me consider that he probably played the way he did because he wasn't very bright.
Thus, while it took me many hits to defeat him, I did so, step by step, controlling him, fooling him, wearing him down.
And when he finally collapsed to the ground, there was loud and triumphant cheering in the voice chat!
You would never have gotten that kind of reaction from just some ordinary online multiplay, but this included a component of meta-gaming. This had turned out to be an almost epic struggle against an enraging villain (who incidentally was also using a red light saber – I used a golden-yellow one).
Man! What a triumph and a life lesson learned!
I felt like writing this down for all the gamers who are complaining about "campers" and "snipers" in FPS games. Not only does that complaining happen a lot in shooters that are about modern warfare and its battlefields where anything like that is realistic and thus actually skillful, but regardless of this, don't fall into a habit of complaining about every bit of unfairness in games, because that habit is often born out of convenience, and if it escalates, then a game design can become boring, because everything is totally equal in every way, taking away some of that sweet metagaming magic. 😉
It can be quite alright to have an ideal of fairness in mind, but if you expect it to already exist everywhere, you will inhibit yourself.
Overcoming a challenge with the odds against you is VERY rewarding and empowering. If you are confident that you can overcome 'unfair' obstacles, life itself will start to feel more easy to master, and that moves you into a better position for bringing your ideals of fairness into the world. … That is… If you don't allow yourself to become corrupted by the unfairness you overcome. 😉 Remember: We're talking about strength of character here, not weakness. Don't try to struggle with your opponents, don't try to face them using their mindset, or you will become the problem. Instead, just leave them in the dust. 🙂

Chuggers are being hit with tighter controls and ordered not to pester shoppers.
The council has signed a deal to bring in stricter controls on charity fundraisers operating on the streets of Macclesfield. There will be limits on when and where the fundraisers - known as chuggers - can approach people for donations.
Fundraisers must not pester customers, follow them in the street, stand within three metres of a shop doorway, cashpoint, pedestrian crossing or station entrance. They must also be sure the customer is not under the influence of drink or drugs or unable to give consent through illness.
The move came after shoppers complained that some charity fundraisers were being a nuisance.
Cheshire East set up a working group to tackle the problem and has signed an agreement with the organisation that regulates chuggers and manages complaints, know as the Public Fundraising Regulatory Association.
Steph Cordon, the council's head of communities, said: "We have had far too many complaints from retailers and businesses, also members of the public, who say they are suffering inconvenience because of the presence of face-to-face fundraisers in their town centre.
"We want our town centres to be welcoming places and people should not feel deterred by the presence of paid charity workers and businesses should not suffer because customers are put off visiting their shops."
Readers welcomed the news on the Express Facebook page.
Rachel Calnun-Pratt said she has stopped shopping in Macclesfield because of the chuggers.
She said: "You can't make your way down Mill Street without being approached more than once. I am all for charities being in the town with collection boxes and even stands encouraging people to donate. Approaching people in the street asking for bank details putting them on the spot is very unnerving especially for the vulnerable."
Elisabeth Howard said: "They can be a nuisance approaching you when you just want to go about your business."
David Taggart said: "It puts me off going down Mill Street. If you want to donate to charities, do it direct. Hopefully more of your money will go to the cause and not a marketing company to employ chuggers."
The new protocol comes into effect on June 22.

Today, visual and audio evidence is everywhere and can be found at more locations and from more diverse sources than ever before. From storefronts to restaurants, grocery stores to banks, traffic intersections to parks, surveillance systems are virtually everywhere. Add in dashcam footage and cell phone cameras, and you have a watchful eye in nearly every corner of every town.
Forensic video analysis is the scientific examination and evaluation of video in legal matters, whether criminal or civil in nature. Most of the footage is digital and file based. Gone are the days of Betamax and VHS. Digital video recorders generally record the audio and video to hard drives, SD cards, or other removable media. It's then our jobs to extract that media into usable evidence.
Shown in Figure #1, Mr. Healy assisting Investigators in their inspection of a Semi. Mr. Healy documented the scene using the Canon XA10 video camera during the vehicle inspection.
Shown in Figure #2, Mr. Healy is doing an interview with an expert about vehicle capabilities.
Introtech's Forensic Video Analyst, Matthew Healy, has a bachelor's degree in Electronic Media Production from Kent State University. With the capabilities of his editing suite, Mr. Healy can enhance both visual and auditory evidence and convert it into usable data. Mr. Healy's focus is to find the metadata within the video, determine frame counts and specs of the video, enhance both the video and audio, and help identify the who, what, when, where and why of the case. Mr. Healy also travels with the Investigators out on the road and helps in documenting and videotaping the scene. Mr. Healy uses multiple Canon XA10 video cameras, Go Pro video cameras and 360* cameras to record reenactments, document the scene, or interview the experts.
Before editing and/or compressing the audio and video evidence, a copy of the evidence is created so that the original copy of the video is always available in its natural, unaltered state. All editing techniques are carefully constructed so that the video or audio is true and accurate. Investigators never change the recorded data, they only enhance what is already present.
Video Enhancement Techniques – A variety of enhancement techniques can be used on video and audio evidence. Techniques can include:
- Enhancement and expert analysis of video from surveillance systems
- Enhancement and expert analysis of video from cell phones, camcorders and other personal recording devices
- Repair and restoration of both visual and audio media
- Extraction of video evidence from a Digital Video Recorder
- Digital video or audio file conversion
- Finding metadata within the video
- Highlight and tracking of a subject of interest in video
- Masking and tracking of a subject of interest in video
- Authentication of video or audio file
- Enhancement and expert analysis of audio tracks and removing unwanted sound bites
- Expert testimony
Shown in Figure #3, Mr. Healy is putting a Canon XA10 video camera inside an exemplar vehicle to document the position and posture of the driver.
Shown in Figure #4, Go Pro video cameras are attached to the exemplar vehicle in an attempt to show driver reaction while driving. Also, attached to the windshield is the VC3000 and is being used to test brakes.

Waterfront has advised Daniel Lee and Ian Parry, the founders of Globrix, in relation to the sale of a stake in the company to The Digital Property Group (the digital media arm of Daily Mail & General Trust) for an undisclosed sum. Globrix was founded in 2007 and is the UK's largest free-to-list property search engine.
The Waterfront team advising on this transaction was led by Matt Cunningham with support from Tanveer Pawar.
Reynolds Porter Chamberlain provided legal advice to the buyer.
Daniel Lee said: "Waterfront advised me on my MBO from News International and the subsequent sale of a stake in my company, Globrix, to Daily Mail & General Trust. Waterfront were able to advise on all necessary areas of law for these transactions and support us in a very complex legal process where the other side was using much larger city firms. Being a small business it was crucial for us to find top quality legal advice but at a fraction of the cost of the big city firms, which is exactly what Waterfront provide. I would recommend them without hesitation."

The CX-3's forward-thinking KODO design is evident both inside and out. From the interior's premium hand-crafted quality to the innovative features, you'll feel that everything is ergonomically designed around you – giving you a Jinba Ittai oneness with car. Mazda have refined the exterior's progressive body design with pure, simple lines and energy-suggestive contours. It conveys a mix of power and stylish charm that is sure to capture hearts.
Our latest evolution of KODO Design begins with people. The stylish exterior has a unique individuality that enables you to express yourself. Elegant, sleek lines contrast with bold, solid proportions to give CX-3 a striking presence for a car of this size. Inside the comfortable, spacious interior you'll experience the finest premium quality and craftsmanship with intuitive features and innovative design built around you.
Take A Closer Look
SKYACTIV Technology lets you experience the fun side of CX-3 while offering control, comfort and fuel efficiency. So wherever you go, you're free to enjoy nimble, responsive handling and superior driving dynamics.

Mazda have built in passive car safety features to protect you. The CX-3 enjoys a number of safety and security features including Airbags, Emergency Brake Assist, an Anti-Lock Braking System, Dynamic Stability Control, an alarm and an Engine Immobiliser.
Red is a difficult colour to get right in a car. Ferrari manage it effortlessly, of course, but in the mass market, reds often suffer either from a lack of depth and brilliance or, even worse, end up looking as garish as a cheap lipstick.
Above all carmakers, Mazda has it nailed down – the soul red crystal paint job is a stunner, and now makes its debut on the CX-3.
On many international launches, I arrive to a line of 20 or 30 test cars in various shades and have difficulty deciding which I prefer. With Mazda, there's always only one choice for me, and that's the red, especially when the sun is out.
It certainly was on Tuesday and Wednesday (well, except for one heroic drenching, a test the wipers passed with flying colours) in Malaga, where the Mazda CX-3 was presented to European media. In that lovely Andalusian light, the car looked pretty spectacular.

Ingredients To Watch Out For As A Vegan
If you are eating vegan (meaning NO animal products) you will find that animal products are often hidden in strange places. This is especially true for packaged and processed food.
ALWAYS check the labels. Even many veggie burgers or other "fake meat" products include animal products. Companies also change the ingredients from time to time. Just because it is vegan today doesn't mean it will always be vegan.
Below is a list of the things that you need to watch out for on the ingredient labels.
Animal Based Label Items to Avoid (often seen in packaged goods)
- Casein – A milk protein that is often in items marked "non-dairy"
- Ghee – Clarified butter-common in Indian food
- Albumen – protein found in egg whites
- Oleic acid – fat from sheep or cattle
- Rennin/Rennet – enzymes from a calf's stomach
- Calcium Stearate – a mineral derived from hogs and cattle
- Gelatin – protein from animal bones, cartilage, tendons, and skin
- Glyerides (mono/di/tri) – glycerol from animal fats
- Stearic acid – animal fats and oils
- Lecithin – phospholipids often from animal tissues and eggs
- Pepsin – enzymes gathered from pigs stomachs
The best way to avoid these ingredients is to eat whole foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains. However, I know that especially when you are new to veganism, vegan meat and dairy substitutes can be a helpful transition food while you are getting used to eating in a different way.
Fortunately there are many VEGAN alternatives. Many are even available in your local grocery store. Here is PETA's list of their Favorite Vegan Substitutes.
3 Comments on "Ingredients To Watch Out For As A Vegan"
Vegan-ize Your Favorite Recipies09/09/2013 at 5:42 pm
[…] Always read labels. Even veggie products sometimes contain animal products. Products that once were vegan may be changed and animal ingredients added. For a list of ingredients to watch out for check out my post Ingredients To Watch Out For As A Vegan. […]
Such a helpful post! There are so many weird ingredients that not many people realize are animal-derived.
I hate to be the person who points out a typo, but it's just such a good one that I thought it would be ok — you wrote "Just because it is vegan today doesn't meat it will always be vegan." Actually, that's probably on purpose, it's so perfect! 🙂

Anish Kapoor Designs : Architecture
Contemporary Art – Sculptor / Architectural Designer, London, UK
26 Jul 2012
Major Anish Kapoor Design
The ArcelorMittal Orbit, Stratford, East London, England, UK
The ArcelorMittal Orbit is the first public artwork by Anish Kapoor to be lit. Arup's lighting team has worked closely with Kapoor and Cecil Balmond to create a lighting scheme that will highlight the sculpture's complex geometric form.
Olympic Park Landmark in Stratford, London:
photographs : Thomas Graham, Arup
The feature lighting scheme encourages visitors into the Park and the ArcelorMittal Orbit by creating a "must see" element to the sculpture at night. The scheme will play an integral part in the lighting and atmosphere of the Olympic Games with the sculpture lit up in a variety of modes for different events and times of day. Beyond the Olympic Games, visitors will also experience the metaphor of an orbit after dark; using light to unravel the sculpture's convoluted form and to grasp its dynamic shape. Arup Lighting Director Florence Lam refers to their approach as using "dark light".
Sustainability has been a critical factor in Arup's thinking. Arup Lighting's choice of saturated red LED (light emitting diode) lighting accentuates the bespoke red specified by Kapoor for the sculpture.

Naples Subway Building
The brief from the City of Naples, to create a fully-functioning tube station that is in itself a work of art, demands a synthesis of purpose and beauty that is fundamental to our creative process. A second primary point of inspiration is the site. At the surface the station will be the central element in the urban and cultural regeneration of the Traiano district that has suffered in its recent history from infrastructural isolation and neglect.

From experience, the designers of this program knew that every writer entering it would most likely require serious ms rewrites as well as instruction in advanced narrative and structural technique, and therefore, be insufficiently close to a publishable manuscript. The aim and method of the program is to get you as close as possible via the modules, and once done, a faculty consultant assumes control to provide all additional editorial input and hands-on query guidance.
Once you are in the editorial consult and agent query phase, your communications with a faculty member are not limited to a set number of emails or phone calls, but are indefinite in consideration of the fact that varying projects and writers require varying amounts of time to come to successful completion.
Serious, self-starting writers willing to conceive, write and craft their novel in the due course of completing this program, and who are willing to accept critical guidance from professionals in the business. We emphasize "serious" because this program is rigorous and challenging, and not like a college extension cyber-class or a typical online workshop. The more knowledge and skills you acquire, the more you apply, returning as necessary to edit until a review by market professionals takes place. See our Methods and Goals page for more details.
Aspiring authors, regardless of manuscript stage, benefit from this approach and editorial mentorship. It's about starting with the first sentence and proceeding to the denouement. The program methodically addresses all structural, premise, and narrative aspects of your novel, and in a manner beneficial to making it more competitive while also evolving your writer skill set, no matter your level at the start of the program. See our methods and approach for a better idea of how it all works.

Pig kill figures show up industry decline
Despite reports of better conception rates and lower mortality, the latest UK slaughter figures have underlined the lack of growth in the industry.
The average UK clean pig kill for the third quarter of 2005 averaged 171,000 head/week.
This compares with a twelve month average ending in September 2004 of 173,400 per week.
The June 2005 UK Pig Census indicated a 10% drop in breeding sow numbers over the previous twelve months.
At that time, the Meat and Livestock Commission reported the total number of rearing and finishing pigs had risen by 1% indicating improvements in herd health and productivity, but these benefits have yet to feed through to slaughter numbers.
Finished pig slaughter availability tends to peak in the autumn, but unless numbers pick up during November, slaughter throughput will be unable to match last years levels.
|Year to Sept
|Pig kill (head/week)
Carcass weights have also levelled out with the September 2005 average of 76.32kg compared with 76kg in 2004 and 76.2kg in 2003.
Any further falls in slaughter pig numbers will hit the abattoir sector, most of which is already operating at well below capacity levels.
Numbers of specialist pig abattoirs have halved since the mid-1990s, and over 60% of UK pig output is slaughtered in ten meat plants.
But imports of fresh and chilled pork in the seven months to July 2005 were up 13% compared with a year ago.
Imports from Denmark nearly doubled over this period at a time when household purchases of fresh, frozen pork and
bacon were also higher.
Signs of better EU prices and cuts in UK slaughter pig availability may help to stimulate the market in the run up to Christmas.
Failing that, hopes of any significant price rise may now be deferred until spring 2006.

I have a feeling artists and other self-employed creative folks know the pain of rising health care costs even more intimately than most, since they often work without the safety net that catches people working for larger employers.
But thanks to the efforts of area arts advocates and civic-minded health-care providers, help is on the way–and for a population of artists too seldom reached by these sorts of programs.
Thanks to a new initiative by Artist Relief Fund and Lake Superior Community Health Center (modeled on a very similar program in the Twin Cities area spearheaded by Springboard for the Arts), artists without health insurance who live in the Arrowhead region and in the Douglas and Bayfield counties of Wisconsin now have access to a fantastic program intended to offer critical health services at very low (and often no) cost.
Here are the basics:
Beginning March 25, 2009, individual artists may apply to the Artist Relief Fund for a voucher to be used at the Lake Superior Community Health Clinics located at 4325 Grand Avenue in Duluth or 3600 Tower Avenue in Superior.
"Health care is a major concern for the artists we serve. Many are self-employed and have little or no insurance," says Erika Mock, President of the Artist Relief Fund board. "We are very excited to partner with the Lake Superior Community Health Center to provide artists with a new option for affordable healthcare. Helping artists connect to options for healthcare, especially preventative care is an important goal of the Artist Relief Fund. This program is a perfect start towards that goal, and we hope that the partnership will be able to grow to provide even more healthcare for area artists."
Wende Nelson, Executive Director of the Lake Superior Community Health Center (LSCHC) adds, "At the LSCHC, we also believe that our country should provide affordable health care for its artists. For years our clinic has provided medical care on a sliding fee scale basis for working artists (full and part-time) who do not have health insurance, so we are very excited about this partnership with The Artist Relief Fund."
Visit the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council website for more information or the Artist Relief Fund site to download a voucher form.
God knows, every little bit helps.

There are so many ways to make use of your choice to become a Queen Alexandra Community League (QACL) member. On one side of the spectrum, you can simply enjoy the benefits of being a member—such as free swims at Scona Pool, skate tags for community rinks across the city, discounts at City of Edmonton recreation facilities, and many more.
Next in the spectrum are opportunities to attend league events, such as potlucks, sporting and social activities, and other special events. After this, you might decide to try volunteering to help run one of these events or delivering a set of newsletters. Hey! You might even come up with a great idea for a program that you think other residents in the community would benefit from.
Others find themselves becoming actively involved in the league because of a development proposal in the area. They might like or dislike the proposal and want an avenue to direct their energies. Bringing those thoughts/research/ to the community league often puts you in touch with others who might be concerned with the same matter.
Still further on the spectrum you can join a committee of the board, become a committee chair or volunteer for the executive. For example, QACL has a community gardens sub-committee, social committee, publicity committee, planning and development, parks and playground, sports, building and grounds, the list goes on…
Volunteering can happen in whatever way, shape or form you see fit. This is your community and your league. So, do what works for you. If you want to volunteer but don't know how to start, contact the League via the contact form. We'll all be glad to lend an ear and share some ideas.

The purpose of this article is to give an introduction of the gastrointestinal system, provide an outline of basic embryology, summarize the embryological events that take place with the gastrointestinal tract, and finally provide specific tests that can be utilized to detect GI anomalies.
The gastrointestinal (GI) system involves three germinal layers: mesoderm, endoderm, ectoderm.
The gastrointestinal system has the divisions: the foregut, midgut, and hindgut. The foregut (or anterior gut) is from the oral cavity to the initial part of the duodenum. The midgut is from the mid-duodenum to the initial two-thirds of the transverse colon. The hindgut is from the later one-third transverse colon to the upper portion of the anus. The three sections of the GI tract have different blood supplies; the foregut receives vascular supply by the celiac artery, the superior mesentery artery supplies the midgut, and the hindgut gets its supply from the inferior mesentery artery.[2]
During the first three weeks of fetal development, implantation of the blastocyst occurs. This occurs around the same time as secretion of hCG, which is the hormone detected for pregnancy tests. During the second week, the bilaminar disc forms, which includes the epiblast and hypoblast. During the third week of development, gastrulation occurs; the epiblast cells invaginate, replace the hypoblast, and proliferate into the middle layer, while the primitive streak forms the ectoderm. This process of gastrulation leads to the development of the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm. These layers form different parts of each system, as discussed above.
During week four, the heart begins to beat and can be detected by ultrasound by week six. Also during week four, limb buds begin to form. By week eight fetal movements begin and by week ten, the genitalia forms.
The changes that occur during embryology take place simultaneously. Organogenesis (development of the organs) occurs from weeks three to eight. Avoiding teratogens especially during these weeks is crucial. The following are the embryological changes that occur specifically with the gastrointestinal tract.
Week 3: the digestive tube starts differentiating. Gastrulation occurs. Initially, the prime gut tube forms as a hollow cylinder of endodermal cells surrounded by mesoderm. The endoderm sheet elongates and folds ventrally at the anterior and posterior ends, meeting near the yolk sac to form a closed tube.[1]
Week 4: resorption of the buccopharyngeal membrane occurs, which closes the cranial end of the digestive tube.[2]
Week 6-10: midgut herniates throughout the umbilical ring, where it develops almost entirely outside the peritoneal cavity, then rotates back around in week ten.
Week 7: obliteration of the omphalomesenteric duct (vitelline duct), which connects the midgut lumen to the yolk sac
Week 9: Opening of the distal cloacal membrane.[2] Villus formation begins[3]
Week 11: distinctive longitudinal and circular muscle layers are present through the intestines
Week 12: crypt development begins.
Week 14: muscularis mucosae develops
Week 32: fetal intestinal absorption reaches adult level.[4]
Gastrointestinal development also includes the development of the enteric nervous system. The enteric nervous system (ENS) includes two ganglion neuron networks: the location of the myenteric (Auerbach) plexus is between the inner circular and the outer longitudinal muscle layers, the submucosal (Meissner) plexus is situated adjacent to the mucosal layer. These cells derive from the neural crest cells. The enteric nervous system is developed through many complex mechanisms, such as axon guidance and synaptogenesis, leading to the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of ENS precursors. These plexuses work with smooth muscle cells and mucosal villi to control the absorption and secretion of the GI system. The smooth muscle cells are derived from mesoderm and differentiate in a rostral to caudal wave.[3]
Different epithelial cell types are present by 12 weeks and are resembling adult cells of the intestine by 22 weeks.
Enteric nervous system development, as well as that of other cells in the gut, is regulated by different factors, including the sonic hedgehog and Indian hedgehog, bone morphogenetic protein, Wnt signaling, and platelet-derived growth factor. The hedgehog signaling is vital for early left and right patterning, along with villi formation. The bone morphogenetic protein is essential for dorsal-ventral patterning. Wnt signaling is involved in anterior-posterior signaling, villi formation, and epithelial stem cell proliferation in the intestines. PDGF plays a significant role in smooth muscle differentiation.
These signaling pathways are essential for the cell systems to develop and integrate for GI function.[3]
There can be many defects that take place during embryogenesis that affect the GI tract.
Many different pathophysiological processes can occur during embryogenesis of the GI tract. Many of these can are correctable by surgery and do not cause fetal demise in utero. A few of these embryological defects have associations with other diseases, such as cystic fibrosis and Down syndrome. Therefore, babies with meconium ileus and duodenal atresia require close monitoring and further evaluation for cystic fibrosis and Down syndrome, respectively.
It is vital during pregnancy to get routine ultrasounds to assess for polyhydramnios to suspect any GI anomalies. If a GI anomaly is suspected, it is important to monitor closely for any future surgeries needed for the baby.[10]

Dentures are a common way of replacing missing teeth and can be a great option for many patients. There are different types of dentures and sometimes are combined with dental implants for a longer-lasting and more secure hold. Keep reading to learn more about dentures, who is a candidate, and how they compare to other treatments.

Types of Dentures and Their Purpose
There are two main categories of dentures:
- Partial — these are typically composed of a gum-colored plate that holds a number of crowns, however many are necessary to replace your missing teeth.
- Full — these replace entire arches of teeth and are typically implant-supported, giving them remarkable stability, durability
Partial dentures can be an inexpensive option for replacing missing teeth. They, however, have their disadvantages. They tend to lose their shape over time, loosening, and moving around, which can cause irritation. We typically recommend implant-supported dental bridges in this case, which last longer and are aesthetically remarkable.
Full dentures are full arches of teeth that are typically anchored by four to six dental implants, depending on the procedure and your needs. At Jupiter Dentistry, we use the Prettau bridge in our Teeth Next Day procedure, with results that look spectacular and will continue to do so for a long time to come.
Dentures Replacement
Traditional, or adhesive-bound, dentures can lose their shape, they can start to suffer from wear, and this can both cause irritation and affect your appearance. They also don't look as good, with the crowns appearing unnatural and artificial.
Our Prettau implant-supported bridge, which is a full-arch denture, is made from zirconia. Zirconia is the strongest tooth-colored restorative material currently used in dentistry. Unlike acrylic options, zirconia is less likely to crack, chip, or otherwise be damaged; furthermore, it is stain resistant, helping you enjoy a brighter, younger smile for much longer than alternative treatments.
The procedure is accurate and predictable. You know what results to expect, and we are happy to show you the results other patients in Jupiter have achieved with us. Furthermore, the replacement bridge is strong and durable thanks to the use of dental implants, which themselves can last a lifetime. And, this durability does not interfere with the bridge's aesthetic — the crowns look and feel completely natural and real
Am I a Candidate?
If you are currently a dentures patient, we highly encourage you to explore our denture replacement options. It can often be the difference between living in comfort and suffering. Imagine an improved bite, no irritation, and the ability to trust in the durability of your dentures. Imagine how much more attractive your smile would be, how much younger it would appear. These are all achievable thanks to the Prettau implant-supported bridge.
