How to get a Hollywood smile in Turkey?
A Hollywood smile is a cosmetic procedure aimed at obtaining a beautiful smile and harmonious white teeth. It is a thin porcelain veneer that is installed on the outer face of the teeth to give them a more beautiful appearance, and it is a permanent dental treatment.
These are known as veneers, which are usually made of porcelain, which has a white color similar to the color of natural teeth
Veneers or dental lenses are also made from different types of materials, the most common of which are veneers, porcelain, luminaire and zircon.
Lumineer is one of the best materials for making lenses or Hollywood smiles, as it is the thinnest and most solid.
How is it done
Ceramic veneers or Hollywood smile lenses are installed over several sessions, where the teeth are cut until they are ready to install the veneers and fix them, and the need for additional sessions depends on the condition of the person’s teeth, as some people need care before placing the outer veneers, such as treating broken teeth Or treat some teeth decay, so that they are all clean and equal, as the veneers can only be installed on healthy teeth.
Dental veneers or Hollywood smiles usually remain for a long time, ranging from five to ten years
It does not require additional care after it is installed, but the person should continue to brush his teeth using the toothbrush, floss and mouthwash as usual.
The porcelain veneers used in making a Hollywood smile are stain- and yellow-resistant, but this does not mean that a person neglects oral hygiene and avoids drinking tea and coffee a lot so as not to stain the teeth or change their color.
On the other hand, if you decide to get a Hollywood smile in Turkey, you must know everything about the procedure and look for a center with high-quality services and a dentist specialized in the field of cosmetics to perform this operation in order to guarantee yourself a perfect and more natural smile, and for this we advise you to choose Our New life clinic to get the best Hollywood smile in Turkey
How is the cost of getting a Hollywood smile in Turkey determined?
Cosmetic operations and procedures in Turkey in general are considered affordable compared to other countries, given the development of cosmetic medicine in its centers and hospitals, and with regard to determining the cost of a Hollywood smile in Turkey, this is done according to several factors, namely:
The kind of Hollywood smile you will have
There are two types of Hollywood smile, fixed and movable, and the difference between them lies in the thickness of the outer shell of the lenses that will be installed on the teeth. The thickness of the fixed Hollywood smile is 0.5 cm, while the thickness of the Hollywood smile is 0.2 cm.
On the other hand, the installation of a Hollywood smile does not require more than two sessions
While a fixed Hollywood smile requires more than two sessions, especially if the person’s condition requires dental treatment before installing veneers
The time and effort required
Of course, the greater the need to work on a person’s oral health and treat his dental problems before starting the procedures for obtaining a Hollywood smile, the greater the number of sessions he needs, and thus the costs of treatment increase
And do not forget that the different materials used to obtain a Hollywood smile in Turkey contribute to the difference in cost as well
The center where the operation will be performed and the doctor’s experience
Choosing the right place to get a Hollywood smile in Turkey is the most important step in this procedure, as the skilled doctor with great experience in the field of cosmetic dentistry is the most important factor in the success of this cosmetic procedure.
Therefore, it is necessary to think carefully before going to a particular center to get a Hollywood smile in Turkey.
Of course, the development of technologies and the high quality of services in addition to the experience of the treating doctor affect the cost of a Hollywood smile in Turkey, but nonetheless, no matter how high it gets , it remains within the appropriate limits for most people.

CHICAGO (CBS) — Former Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden called attention to the Chicago teachers’ strike at an event for Teacher Union Day in New York on Sunday.
Biden spoke Sunday at an event organized by the United Federation of Teachers, the union representing New York City teachers. The event was held at the New York Hilton on Sixth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.
In his address, Biden spoke about teachers’ strikes and called them courageous, and he specifically brought up the strike by members of the Chicago Teachers’ Union that began this past Thursday.
“It was pretty novel 60 years ago. It took some courage to decide to go on strike; walk out. We celebrate the bravery of those teachers today and the school professionals that went with them,” Biden said. “But we also know that no educator wants to go on strike. It’s the last damn thing you want to do. The teachers’ strike in Chicago right now, you know every one of them would much rather be in the classroom, for real. For real – with their kids.”
Teachers walked out on Thursday after locking horns with the Mayor Lori Lightfoot and the Chicago Public Schools on several issues – notably including staffing and class sizes.
CTU leaders said the city has made commitments to reducing class sizes and increasing staffing, but the union wants to include language to enforce those provisions.
Mayor Lightfoot said Saturday that it is unlikely a deal will get done in time to resume classes on Monday.
In his address in New York, Biden also said he would take on the National Rifle Association and implied a link between the gun-rights organization and school shootings. He said he would “take on the NRA so we don’t have kids going to school learn how to duck and cover.”
Biden further said the next U.S. Secretary of Education should be someone with teaching experience. Current Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is a former chair of the Michigan Republican Party and of the Windquest Group investment and management firm, who is known for supporting charter schools, school choice, and vouchers.
“Four years of Betsy DeVos is plenty, it’s enough. It’s enough,” Biden said. “And I’ve been saying this and I mean it, we’re going to make sure the next Secretary of Education is a teacher, someone who’s taught in a classroom.”
Biden has always been a pro-union guy, smart of him to remind people of that.
Former Vice President Joe Biden's lead in the race for the Democratic nomination for president has rebounded, and now stands at its widest margin since April, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
Biden has the support of 34% of Democratic and Democratic-leaning registered voters, his best showing in CNN polling since just after his campaign's formal launch on April 25.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont are about even for second, with 19% and 16%, respectively. Behind them, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Kamala Harris of California each have 6% support, with Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and former Texas Congressman Beto O'Rourke each at 3%.
Biden's rise comes largely from a consolidation of support among his core backers, and doesn't appear to harm any individual opponent. Warren and Sanders hold about even with their standing in the last CNN poll in September, and no other candidate has seen a shift of more than 2 points in that time.
But Biden has seen big spikes in support among moderate and conservative Democrats (43% support him now, up from 29% in the September poll), racial and ethnic minorities (from 28% among all nonwhites in September to 42% now) and older voters (up 13 points since September among those 45 and older) that outpace those among younger potential Democratic voters (up 5 points among those younger than 45).
The gains come as Biden's time as vice president is put under the spotlight by President Donald Trump and his allies. Trump is facing an impeachment inquiry by the House of Representatives over allegations that he pressured the Ukrainian government to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, as well as the 2016 US election in return for releasing hundreds of millions in congressionally mandated defense funding meant for Ukraine. Hunter Biden was on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company while Biden was vice president. There is no evidence that either Biden did anything wrong in Ukraine.
The poll suggests that although Biden's October debate performance did not blow away the audience (15% who watched or followed news about it said he had done the best job in the debate, well behind Warren's 28% — but better than most on the stage), the arguments he made on health care, foreign policy and the economy may have boosted his standing with the potential Democratic electorate.
Asked which candidate would best handle a range of top issues, Biden leads the way on four of the six issues tested in the poll. He holds a massive edge over the field on foreign policy (56% say he would handle it best, well ahead of Sanders at 13% and Warren at 11%), and tops the next closest candidate by nearly 20 points on the economy (38% Biden, 19% Sanders, 16% Warren). Biden also outpaces the rest of the field as most trusted on immigration (29% Biden, 16% each Warren and Sanders) and gun policy (27% vs. 13% Sanders and 11% Warren, with O'Rourke close at 9%).
Biden doesn't hold a significant edge on the critical issue of health care (31% Biden, 28% Sanders, 17% Warren) but he's surged 13 points on the issue since June, when he lagged behind Sanders. Neither Sanders' nor Warren's numbers on the issue have moved significantly in that time.
And Biden now runs even with Sanders at 26% as best able to handle the climate crisis. Warren is at 18% on that issue. The results mark increases for Biden and Sanders, who were each at 19% on handling the climate in June.
The former vice president's advantages on the issues come as he emphasizes an approach that appears to align with the preferences of most potential Democratic voters. A 53% majority say they want the nominee to advocate policies that have a good chance of becoming law, even if the changes aren't as big, vs. 42% who prefer advocating big changes even if they have less of a chance of becoming law.
Among those voters who prefer an approach that prioritizes policies with a better chance of becoming law, 38% support Biden for the Democratic nomination, 17% Warren and just 8% Sanders. On the other side, it's nearly a three-way split, with 27% behind Biden, 24% Sanders and 21% Warren.
About 1 in 5 potential Democratic voters say they watched last week's debate among 12 Democratic candidates, and those who watched it came away with a different assessment than those who mainly followed news about the debate. Overall, among everyone who either watched or followed news coverage on the debate, 28% say Warren had the best night, 15% Biden, 13% Sanders, 11% Buttigieg, 4% Klobuchar and 2% Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, with the rest at 1% or less. Among those who say they watched it, though, Warren remains on top at 29%, but 21% say Buttigieg had the best night, then 13% Biden, 11% Sanders, 10% Klobuchar and 4% Booker, with everyone else at 1% or less.
And those who watched the debate seem to have more favorable views of the lesser-known candidates who were seen as having good nights than do those who followed coverage. Among debate watchers, 74% have a favorable view of Buttigieg, vs. 54% among those who followed news instead. Booker's favorability rating is 80% among those who watched, vs. 55% among those who followed coverage, and Klobuchar's favorability stands at 56% among watchers vs. 36% among those who followed news.
Warren tops the list of candidates who potential Democratic voters say they want to hear more about: 31% name her, 24% Buttigieg, 23% Harris, 18% Booker, 17% Sanders, 16% Biden, 13% Klobuchar, 11% O'Rourke and 10% businessman Andrew Yang.
Majorities of potential Democratic voters say they would at least be satisfied with any of the top three becoming the party's nominee, with about 4 in 10 saying they'd be enthusiastic about Biden (43%), Warren (41%) or Sanders (39%). Fewer would feel as excited should Buttigieg become the party's nominee (27% enthusiastic).
Registered voters generally give Biden, Warren, Sanders and Buttigieg large advantages over President Donald Trump in hypothetical general election matchups. Biden leads the President by 10 points, 53% to 43%, with Sanders up 9 (52% to 43%) and Warren up 8 (52% to 44%). Buttigieg holds a 6-point edge, 50% to 44%.
The CNN Poll was conducted by SSRS from October 17 through 20 among a random national sample of 1,003 adults reached on landlines or cellphones by a live interviewer, including 424 registered voters who are Democrats or Democratic-leaning independents. Results for the full sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points. For results among potential Democratic voters, it is plus or minus 5.8 points.
Former Vice President Joe Biden may be having some trouble in Iowa in New Hampshire, where the first two contests of the Democratic primary will be held next year. But in South Carolina, home of the first-in-the-South primary, he remains the runaway favorite.
The latest CBS News Battleground Tracker shows Biden ahead by only 3% as the first choice for nominee in Iowa and New Hampshire. However, in South Carolina. he has enjoyed a double-digit lead in state polls for months. In the November Battleground Tracker he outpaced the field by 28% as Democrats' first choice for nominee in the state. In a Quinnipiac University poll released this week, he's up by 20 points.
"I can remember Biden coming to South Carolina and doing major political events in the early '80s and throughout all of the time since then," said former South Carolina Democratic Party Chair Don Fowler. "His friendship among people in South Carolina is real in the black and the white community."
Biden officially filed for the South Carolina Democratic primary alongside the state's Democratic Party chair during a stop at a local soul food restaurant in Abbeville Friday afternoon. While leaving, he was asked whether he felt confident about his lead in the state, particularly among black voters.
"I've always had overwhelming support in my whole career from the African-American community and actually, I do feel pretty confident."
CBS News spoke with more than a dozen political leaders and voters to explore what Biden's current lead means in South Carolina and how his strength in the state plays into his chances of securing the nomination.
"His prior relationship with two of our previous U.S. Senators, the fact that he's been to South Carolina many times, and certainly the fact that he served as vice president, all of those variables increases name recognition [and] make people feel comfortable with his candidacy," said Heyward Bannister, the South Carolina political director for Bill Clinton during the Democratic primary in 1992.
Fowler, who is a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, says that Biden's supporters have been "resilient" and "loyal" so far. He also notes that "a great portion of the African American community" has helped sustain his current frontrunner status.
South Carolina is a key test of candidates' support among black voters, a central component of the Democratic Party's base. In 2020, black voters are expected to make up as much as 60% of South Carolina's Democratic primary electorate.
"The dynamics are different, the constituencies are different, and the urgency for African Americans to participate becomes even higher when you get to Southern states starting with South Carolina," said CBSN Contributor and Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright. "Black people will not only decide who our next nominee will be but they will have a large say so on who will be the next president."
Since 1976, no Democratic presidential candidate has ever won the nomination without placing at least second in Iowa or New Hampshire. South Carolina has only officially been a part of the early state lineup since the 2008. But both presidential candidates who have won the state's Democratic primary since gone on to win the party nomination.
CBS News Contributor Robby Mook says that while it's important for a candidate to win in Iowa or New Hampshire, the field is more fluid this cycle and many delegates are won in the first three weeks of March.
"For someone like Biden, who comes to this with universal name recognition, with deep political contacts, and a commanding position within the field, there's absolutely a rationale that he can capture momentum in South Carolina and spring forward into March," said Mook, Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign manager. "I think the driving question is going to be who can defeat Trump? And I think people's conception of that is going to evolve over time."
"If you look like a winner, sound like a winner, you act like a winner, it can impact voters' perception," said Bannister, Clinton's 1992 strategist. "And of course, how well you perform certainly impacts your fundraising too and your fundraising can impact the resources you have to organize."
Biden has been outrun by some other leading contenders when it comes to fundraising in recent months, but he raised $5.3 million in October alone. In recent weeks, he's received criticism from contenders who say his views on super PACs have shifted just enough for a group of his wealthy backers to form one of their own to support him, "Unite the Country," which registered with the Federal Election Commission last week.
Other Democratic hopefuls, meanwhile, have sworn not to use super PACs, which can spend unlimited funds to back a candidate so long as they don't coordinate with any campaign.
During a strategy call with senior campaign officials and journalists in September, Biden's national team said that South Carolina and Nevada, another early state with a diverse electorate, were top priorities. Earlier this month, the team doubled down on another call, arguing that they're "the one campaign that doesn't have to win Iowa" because of Biden's "broad" appeal across voting groups. But during an interview with CNN days later, Biden said that he thinks he will do better than expected in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Kendall Corley, who was a regional political director in South Carolina for Obama in 2008, is now the state director for Biden. He maintains that while the "ground game" strategies haven't changed so much since then — traditional door-knocking, for example, remains a key component — Biden has a different objective.
"It's more maintenance and growth more so than trying to introduce and expand," said Corley. "For Vice President Biden, relationships again are going to carry the day and to his advantage even more so [than] for Obama, he has those relationships and has had them for years."
To this point, Mook said that the true test will be in the solidity of Biden's support.
"The question is 'how hard is Biden's support in South Carolina?' If it's rock hard, nothing's going to change that," says Mook. "If those voters are still open-minded and are concerned about electability, there's every reason their minds can change and that's why people focus so much on doing well in those first two early states."
"Unless there's some sort of crack in the firewall," added Seawright, "unless there's some sort of air let out of his political tires in the African-American community, I don't see how his car does not continue to go down the road down the political highway."
After a town hall at Lander University in Greenwood, where anti-deportation protesters disrupted an event on Thursday evening, CBS News spoke with voters about Biden's performance. Two undecided student voters said that if they had to vote today Biden would "probably" be their choice, citing his respectful nature of handling the situation with the protesters, his knowledge, and his personal connection with the crowd. And other voters said that while they were undecided before the event, Biden's performance had won them over.
"Watching Joe Biden [tonight], I swung strongly in favor of Joe," said Katelynn Bell, who traveled with her parents from Augusta, GA for the event.
Joe Biden is nearing the halfway point of an eight-day tour through rural Iowa aimed at helping him regain the momentum he's lost there, on a bus emblazoned with an old-school Bidenism: "No Malarkey."
The term recalls the time the former vice president told Republican rival Paul Ryan in a 2012 debate that he was espousing "a bunch of malarkey." It's one of Biden's favorite phrases, one his campaign hopes will play into voters' perception of Biden as authentic and honest -- drawing contrasts with Trump, but also with his Democratic rivals, whose plans on issues like health care and college tuition Biden has criticized as unaffordable and politically impractical.
The bus tour already provided a viral moment, when -- as his wife, Jill Biden, gestured widely with her hands as she spoke to a crowd in Council Bluffs on Saturday -- Biden leaned in and lightly bit her index finger.
But the real aim of the 18-county swing is to expose Biden to parts of the state he hasn't visited yet, and to quiet chatter that he has kept a slower campaign schedule in the state than most of his top-tier rivals.
"I don't think he's been here enough, spent a lot of time here. That's what it usually takes for most Iowans. They feel like they've got to see the people several times before they make up their mind. There's going to be a lot of changes between now and February," said Brad Knott, an undecided Democratic voter from Des Moines who caught Biden in Carroll over the weekend.
"He needs to get out," Knott said. "He needs to be in Iowa, here in the small towns -- visit them and hear from them -- and he's doing that now."
Biden's Iowa road trip comes as his campaign faces the reality that he could lose Iowa -- and possibly finish as low as fourth place.
The most recent Iowa polls have found South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg in the lead there, followed by the three-person grouping of Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
The stagnant polling in the first state to vote in the nominating process comes despite Biden's consistent lead in national Democratic polls -- fueled largely by his strong support among African American voters, who his campaign expects to provide a boost later in the calendar as the Democratic race shifts in late February to South Carolina and then to a swath of large and Southern states on Super Tuesday in early March.
Biden told reporters Sunday at a coffeehouse in Carroll that he was "here to translate the polls nationally."
"Iowans make up their minds late and they change the front-runner -- front-runner gets behind, front-runner comes back," he said.
In Iowa, he said, he is "running to win. I'm not running to lose or come in third, or fourth or fifth, or anything like that."
"We're going the last two months now, getting down to the stretch, and time to -- as they say in Iowa -- time to peak is right about now. That's why we've planned all along to spend after Thanksgiving a lot of time in Iowa," Biden said.
Biden's campaign is working hard to show momentum. On Monday, his campaign manager Greg Schultz said in an email to supporters that Biden has raised more in just October and November than he had in the third fundraising quarter, a period in which he hauled in $15.7 million -- which was well shy of the $25 million that Sanders and Warren raised.
Biden's campaign didn't release how much cash the campaign has on hand, which would show how quickly he's spending the money he is raising. He had $9.8 million at the end of the third quarter.
The former vice president is also making detours from his bus trip to bolster his fundraising -- including a fundraiser in Chicago on Monday night, after which he'll return to Iowa for an event Tuesday, then fly to New York for a Tuesday night fundraiser. Then he'll head back to Iowa.
Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack and his wife, Christie -- two influential figures in the state who have endorsed the former vice president -- accompanied Biden for most of his first three days in Iowa. Each event they attended followed a similar format: Christie Vilsack would introduce Biden, and Tom Vilsack would deliver the closing pitch.
The bus tour, Vilsack said in an interview, is "an opportunity to send a strong message about the importance of rural America, and I think it's a message that Democrats in the past have sort ignored at their peril. The vice president's making sure that mistake's not going to happen again."
Biden has not taken questions from the audience during the formal portions of his stops, but he did linger to snap selfies and chat with attendees on rope lines after his events.
"The single most important thing if you can do it, if you can, is to shake the hand of every single voter and look them in the eye and let them ask you questions. To me it's the ultimate, it's the ultimate way in which to connect with people," Biden told reporters in Emmetsburg. "I know I got in trouble for using this phrase a long time ago but I'm a tactile politician. If i can shake hands with someone, see them, get a sense of what's on their mind, it gives me a better sense of what's bothering people, what their needs are."
"I spend time with folks. I have trouble walking away from them. I just find it to be the most significant thing you can do," he said. "This bus tour allows that that's one of the things I like about it."
Those individual connections helped some voters solidify their decisions to back Biden, they said in interviews -- while others remained concerned about the former vice president's age and his unwillingness to take town hall-style questions.
Ned and Jane Nettleton, retired teachers in Algona who caucused for Biden during his failed 2008 presidential run, are split this time.
Ned Nettleton said he's still with Biden. "He's a good man. He's honest and sincere and he's what the country needs to recover," he said.
But Jane Nettleton had a specific concern about the former vice president: "His age."
She said she likes Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota -- but wants to see her in person. "I just think, you know, that we need someone a little younger and someone who appeals to younger people," she said.
A couple in Storm Lake, Mike and Andrea Frantz, are also split.
Mike Frantz said he's keeping his options open, but liked that Biden's "tone was subdued, which was really, I think, smart for the audience he had here. Not the firebrand that you see from some others, but a real connecting tone."
However, he said he was disappointed that Biden didn't take questions from the audience. "That's more common and appreciated," he said.
Andrea Frantz, meanwhile, said she's backing Buttigieg. "There's something about the way that he speaks to everyone, the nature of his inclusive message," she said. "I think he is incredibly brilliant. I think he has the energy and ability to relate to people to bring us back all together again."
Becky Bryant, a retired teacher in Storm Lake, said she is touched by the way that Biden -- who as a young man lost his wife and daughter to a car accident, and decades later saw his son die of brain cancer -- connects with voters through grief.
"In the end, he said that you have to find something good that comes out of some horrendous disaster," she said. "And I found that incredibly inspiring."
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is planning to pay for his policy proposals in part with a new tax aimed at preventing large corporations from paying zero in taxes, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday.
Under a proposal Bloomberg obtained, the former vice president would call for a 10 percent minimum tax on corporations' book income, which can differ from the income reported on federal income tax returns. The proposal is targeted at businesses with more than $100 million in net income in the United States that paid zero or negative federal income taxes.
The Biden campaign estimates that the proposal would raise $400 billion in federal revenue over 10 years, Bloomberg reported.
The proposal comes amid a push from progressives for higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations, and frustration among Democrats at reports that companies such as Amazon have paid zero in federal income taxes in certain years.
One of Biden's rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), has offered a similar proposal, calling for a 7-percent surtax on corporate profits over $100 million.
The Biden tax plan Bloomberg obtained also calls for doubling the tax rate to 21 percent of a minimum tax on foreign profits created by President Trump's 2017 tax law. It also calls for $200 billion in sanctions on countries that make it easier for companies to illegally avoid taxes, Bloomberg reported.
The plan also includes several tax proposals that Biden has previously mentioned, including raising the corporate income tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent, raising the top individual income tax rate from 37 percent to 39.6 percent, taxing capital gains as ordinary income for people with income over $1 million, and ending the "step up in basis" tax break that lowers capital gains tax liability on investments passed on to heirs.
In total, Biden is estimating that his various tax proposals would raise more than $3.4 trillion, enough to pay for climate, infrastructure, health care and higher education plans that are estimated to cost $3.2 trillion, Bloomberg reported.
Biden has taken aim at other presidential candidates for a lack of thoroughness on paying for their spending proposals. In debates earlier this year, Biden criticized Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) for not being detailed about how they would fully pay for "Medicare for All." Warren subsequently released a tax plan that specified how she planned to pay for her health plan.
"The vice president does think it's very important to be clear with the American people regarding how you're going to pay for things in order to demonstrate they can actually get it done," said Biden policy director Stef Feldman.
Feldman added that Biden "wants to make sure that he's putting proposals out there that he can actually deliver on for folks."
"He thinks that in many ways it makes it easier for people to buy into the idea that we should be making these investments because they respond to it along the lines of, 'Oh, you know what, it does seem like wealthy people can pay a little bit more if what we get is this,'" Feldman said.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Richard Bryan, a former U.S. senator and Nevada governor, said Wednesday that he's endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020, giving the former vice president the backing of one of the biggest names in the state’s Democratic circles.
Bryan told The Associated Press in an interview that Biden brings “a thoughtful, steady hand” and is the Democratic Party’s best chance to defeat President Donald Trump.
“No one equals him in terms of experience. But I think his approach, we need somebody that can bring the country back together," he said.
Bryan, who was in the U.S. Senate from 1989 to 2001, said he got to know Biden well while serving with him in Washington when Biden was a senator from Delaware. The former governor said Biden offers the best opportunity to bridge divides and work across the aisle.
Bryan’s decision to endorse in the primary is a contrast from Nevada’s two current Democratic senators, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, and former longtime senator Harry Reid. All three have said they don’t plan to endorse before Nevada’s February caucuses.
In November, Birmingham mayor Randall Woodfin joined several other African American mayors from Southern cities in Atlanta to meet with former Vice President Joe Biden. The gathering was part of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate’s response to an open letter to all candidates penned in September by four black Southern mayors, including Woodfin, offering a “road map” of issues the leaders said must be address in order to obtain their respective endorsement.
“We had a very detailed and thorough discussion around the issues we raised,” Woodfin says. “I remember how I felt when I walked out of that room: I can get behind the vice president. Not only can he win to become the next president of the United States but would work with mayors as partners.”
On Monday, Woodfin, widely considered a political progressive, said he is endorsing Biden among the still-crowded field of 2020 Democratic presidential hopefuls.
“He represents the bridge between the future of Democratic party and most the successful Democratic administration of my lifetime,” Woodfin told AL.com. “We’re talking about a leader, not talking about an elected official. We’re talking about a leader that has been doing it for quite some time.”
Woodfin believes Biden will ultimately rally Democratic voters nationwide, which will be critical to the remainder of the ballot. “When you think about competitive [elections} we’ll have in Alabama, as well as in Georgia, North Carolina and Kentucky; you’ll have the balance of the U.S. Congress on the line, redistricting on the line. We need somebody on the top of that ticket who can not only help down-ballot candidates be competitive, but also someone who can expand the map across the nation. For me all of that points to Vice President Biden giving us that best chance."
Three years ago, Woodfin defeated incumbent William Bell in the mayoral race with prominent backing from Sen. Bernie Sanders, the progressive who unsuccessfully sought the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination and is in the 2020 field. Sanders recorded a robocall for Woodfin that went out on the night before the mayoral election, telling loyal progressives the challenger would fight for “Medicare for all” and battle racial injustice.
Woodfin says he spoke with Sanders, members of his campaign and leadership teams about his endorsement of Biden. “That conversation needed to be had,” he said. “I respect a lot of things Senator Sanders stands for. I believe in a lot of the things he’s doing. I am a fan of his conviction and consider him a person I can trust and a friend. None of that goes away with this endorsement.”
Woodfin is the latest prominent African American politician to back the front-runner. Nine members of the Congressional Black Caucus have endorsed Biden, the most of any other Democratic candidate. (Sen. Kamala Harris had 10 CBC endorsements before dropping from the race last month.) Three black leaders from Indiana endorsed the 77-year-old Delaware Senator last month, including one from South Bend, where presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is mayor.
A recent survey shows Biden the overwhelming favorite among African American registered voters: 38%, compared with 15% for Sen. Bernie Sanders, 11% for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, according to BlackPAC, a political committee that engages and mobilizes black voters.
The endorsement of Woodfin, 38, is perhaps most critical because of the perceived generation gap among blacks regarding Biden. According to the same survey, Sanders enjoys twice the support of Biden among 18-24-year-old Gen Z voters (30% to 14%) and is just ahead of Biden among millennials (15% to 14%).
Earlier this month, Woodfin addressed a meeting of the Young Democrats of America in Birmingham.
“My message to them was clear,” he says "One, it is OK to support different candidates. Two, the main goal is when the primary is over, whomever is at top of this ticket –- and I feel it will be Biden, it should be Biden -- then we should all rally behind them. Democratic presidential candidates are not enemies; here is only one enemy, and that person is not a Democrat. Third, we should not pit generation against generation or race against race.
“We should decide what are the things the Democratic party stands for? And whether you’re on the left-leaning wing of the party or in the middle as a moderate, what do we need to be communicating to Americans to win the general election?”
The September open letter was signed by Chokwe Antar Lumumba, Jackson, Miss; LaToya Cantrell, New Orleans; and Steve Benjamin, Columbia, S.C. All told, they represent, according to the letter, “1.7 million residents, including 345,000 Democratic voters, and importantly, 196 1/8 2020 3/8 Democratic delegates…”
Along several criteria cited in the letter were plans for Increasing federal investment in affordable housing and infrastructure, expanding Community Black Grants, increasing the Economic Development Administration’s budget boosting the Small Business Administration’s commitment to minority-owned businesses, and criminal justice reform.
“The Democratic nomination runs through our communities,” the letter stated. “And given the power that we wield in this primary process, we fully intend to use our influence and elevate the interests of our residents to ensure that your campaigns deliver a value proposition consistent with their distinct needs.”
In November, Benjamin announced his support for billionaire and former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg. Cantrell and Lumumba have not publicly endorsed any candidate.
Biden appears to have largely overcome early criticism among some American Americans for his sponsorship of the 1994 crime bill, some provisions of which, such as sentencing measures and prison funding, many believe contributed to the mass incarceration that disproportionally impacted young black men and African American communities.
“There is no such thing as a perfect candidate,” Woodfin says. “We have an imperfect political system with imperfect candidates. But in this historic diverse field of Democrats, who can make sure down-ballot candidates can win? Who can expand the map? Who do voters trust? And who do voters feel they have a relationship with?
"That’s Joe Biden.”
Former Vice President Joe Biden maintained his lead in Iowa ahead of the state's first-in-the-nation caucuses, according to a new poll that also shows former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) gaining ground on Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who finished second.
Biden is the top choice among 24 percent of surveyed Iowans in the Focus on Rural America poll released Monday. Biden’s support fell just 1 point since a September poll.
The ranking of the top candidates remained the same since September, but Buttigieg and Sanders saw increases in support while Warren had a decrease, placing all the three candidates closer to each other.
Warren remained in second place with 18 percent, a 5-point decrease since the September poll.
Buttigieg remained in third, but jumped 4 points from September to 16 percent.
Similarly, Sanders maintained his fourth place spot, but had a 5-point boost to 14 percent.
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) trails Sanders in fifth place, at 11 percent, a 3-point increase for the senator since September. No other candidates registered double-digit support in the poll.
Twenty-nine percent of surveyed Iowans said Klobuchar is the “best” candidate “for the needs and interests of rural Iowa,” making her the top candidate on the issue. The top four candidates trailed Klobuchar when questioned on rural interests, with Warren at 15 percent, Sanders at 14 percent, and Biden and Buttigieg each at 13 percent, according to the poll.
Biden was also overwhelmingly the candidate respondents said was “best equipped to handle the current conflicts and tensions between the U.S. and Iran and other global hot spots,” with 42 percent choosing the former vice president, according to the poll.
The poll surveyed 500 likely caucus goers. It was conducted between Jan. 15 and 18 with a combination of cellphone and landlines. There is a 4.4 percentage point margin of error.
The nation’s largest labor union has lined up behind Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, with the National Education Association on Saturday endorsing the former vice president for the Democratic nomination over his last remaining primary rival Bernie Sanders.
The NEA’s board of directors chose Biden following a recommendation from the organization’s political action committee board, following months of surveying the organization's 3 million members and multiple presidential candidate forums held around the country.
NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia, whose union tops 3 million members, called Biden a “tireless advocate for public education” and “the partner that students and educators need now in the White House.”
The union’s decision came with Biden on the cusp of stretching out an insurmountable delegate lead over Sanders. The two candidates meet Sunday for their first one-on-one debate, two days before four populous states – Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Ohio – hold primaries with a combined 577 delegates up for grabs. Biden currently leads Sanders, a Vermont senator, by more than 150 delegates with more than half of the national total already awarded, a gap that means Sanders must win 57% of the remaining delegates to wrest the nomination from Biden. There is no precedent for such a comeback.
In the four states that vote Tuesday, almost 760,000 voters live in households with at least one NEA member, according to the union. NEA officials said the union’s PAC would immediate push digital advertising into the four states on Biden’s behalf, while also communicating with NEA households.
Democratic presidential candidates in 2020 were mostly in-step with education unions, with Biden and the rest vowing to replace President Donald Trump’s education secretary, Betsy DeVos, with someone who’s had classroom experience, while vastly increasing federal spending on early childhood, primary and secondary education.
Biden’s proposals come with an estimated $850 billion price tag over 10 years. Among other ideas, he calls for universal access to pre-kindergarten programs for 3- and 4-year olds; tripling Title I spending for schools with higher concentration of students from low-income households; federal infrastructure spending for public school buildings; and covering the cost of schools’ compliance with federal requirements for teaching students with disabilities. Biden also opposes taxpayer money being routed to for-profit charter school enterprises.
Eskelsen Garcia singled out proposals to support “low-income communities where the need is the highest.”
The NEA notably waited for an endorsement until Democrats’ field had narrowed. Another educators’ union, the American Federation of Teachers, opted earlier in the process for a triple endorsement, recommending Biden, Sanders and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. AFT’s president, Randi Weingarten, a high-profile labor leader and prominent member of the Democratic National Committee, added her own individual endorsement for Warren ahead of the March 3 Super Tuesday contests. Warren’s began her career as a special education teacher before going to law school.
Biden and Sanders have aggressively sought votes and endorsements among organized labor, though with different styles. Biden openly acknowledges his longstanding relationships with union leaders around the country. Sanders, meanwhile, touts his appeal among rank-and-file workers. Their competing approaches have carried mixed results.
Biden won the national firefighters union endorsement as soon as he announced his bid last April, and the union put volunteers on the ground in Iowa to help Biden organize, only for the former vice president to finish a disappointing fourth place.
In Nevada, Sanders’ approach carried the day. Ahead of the first caucuses in the West, the most powerful union in Las Vegas, the Culinary Union, didn’t explicitly endorse Biden but notably criticized Sanders’ single-payer “Medicare for All” health insurance proposal as a threat to workers’ union-negotiated health plans. Sanders won casino-based precincts up and down the Las Vegas strip anyway.
In Michigan, the United Auto Workers also opted not to make a formal endorsement, with Sanders expressing confidence that he’d carry the rank-and-file again in the March 10 contest, as he did in Nevada weeks before. But it was Biden who walked away with a comfortable win, claiming every county in a state Sanders had won four years before.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to hydrotherapy equipment, and, more particularly, to a whirlpool bath for children for circulating liquid to bathe a child and to treat body disorders and injuries.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Hydrotherapy is used to treat a number of conditions that afflict the human body as well as for a relaxing massage. When the body is partially submerged in a tub of water, a stream of water, air, or mixture of air and water impinging on
submerged portions of the body improves blood circulation providing more oxygen for healing. Zone therapy reflex areas exist on the body, that, when stimulated, increase blood flow to congested areas of the body. Circulating fluid in a hydrotherapy
unit of conventional whirlpool bath provides stimulation. Hydrotherapy units are not typically found in homes or apartments where people reside, and it is usually inconvenient to visit a commercial location. Home whirlpool baths are relatively
expensive and are not standard equipment, particularly in apartments and older homes. Accordingly, it will be appreciated that it would be highly desirable to have a hydrotherapy unit that is relatively inexpensive and does not require a plumber to
install. It is also desirable to have a hydrotherapy unit that is transportable so that apartment dwellers can use it where space is limited and can take it with them when they move.
Using a hydrotherapy unit requires patience which is often lacking in children because children are energetic and restless. It is therefore desirable to have a hydrotherapy unit that is fun for a child to use and that does not contribute to
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to overcoming one or more of the problems set forth above. Briefly summarized, according to one aspect of the present invention, a hydrotherapy unit for a child comprises a housing and an elongated open tub
mounted on the housing for holding a volume of fluid. The tub has a pair of upstanding interior sidewalls and interior end walls. Each interior sidewall has upper and lower portions horizontally offset from one another forming an arm rest. One end
wall defines a foot rest area. The other end wall forms a back rest. The bottom of the tub has first and second portions vertically offset from one another with a connecting bridging member forming a seat. Jets are located strategically about the tub
to circulate fluid about particular portions of the body of a child seated in the tub. The unit is mounted on wheels for transportability. An electrical power cord connects the unit to a power source to power the pumps and jets, while hoses provide
water for filling and draining the tub.
The unit has an exterior sidewall that is configured to resemble an object of amusement for a child. For infants, the exterior sidewall is configured as a duck which an infant recognizes as a pet to be enjoyed. For larger children, the exterior
sidewall is configured as an automobile. The automobile motif has a steering wheel and accelerator pedal so that a child can simulate driving while using the tub to thereby make using the tub fun.
These and other aspects, objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more clearly understood and appreciated from a review of the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and appended claims, and by
reference to the accompanying drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a side perspective view of a preferred embodiment of a hydrotherapy unit for a child having a seat formed in the tub and a steering wheel according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a top perspective view of the hydrotherapy unit of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a side perspective view of another preferred embodiment of a hydrotherapy unit according to the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a top perspective view of the hydrotherapy unit of FIG. 3.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to FIGS. 1-2, a transportable hydrotherapy unit 10 has a housing 12 that is mounted on wheels 14 so that the hydrotherapy unit 10 can be rolled about. Wheels 14 are mounted inside housing 12 to provide an aesthetic appearance and to
facilitate moving the hydrotherapy unit through a doorway or from one room to another. Wheels 14 are preferably pressure locking to keep the unit stationary during use. Such wheels are spring loaded and factory set to lock at a predetermined load. For
increased aesthetic appeal only a small portion of each wheel is visible below the bottom of the housing, but is sufficient for maneuverability on carpeted floors. Alternatively, a plurality of ribs or skids can be used.
The hydrotherapy unit 10 includes an elongated open tub 16 mounted on housing 12 for holding a volume of fluid, such as water or water containing therapeutic and relaxation substances. Housing 12 and tub 16 are preferably constructed of a
reinforced resinous material such as the fiberglass reinforced plastic materials commonly used for bathtubs and showers, or a thermoset plastic material. The contours of the tub are void of sharp corners to be aesthetically pleasing, to facilitate fluid
flow and to be more comfortable. Housing 12 and tub 16 may be separately molded or fabricated and assembled together. When assembled, the housing forms the exterior sidewalls of the unit while the tub forms the inner sidewalls of the unit with space
between the exterior sidewalls and inner sidewalls to accommodate tubing, wiring and equipment needed for the unit. Such a hydrotherapy unit is more fully described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,327,721, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by
Elongated tub 16 has a pair of upstanding interior sidewalls and a pair of upstanding interior end walls. The first interior sidewall of the pair of interior sidewalls is on the right side of the tub and has upper and lower portions that are
horizontally offset from one another forming a right arm rest. Similarly, the second interior sidewall of the pair of interior sidewalls is on the left side of the tub and has upper and lower portions that are horizontally offset from one another
forming a left arm rest.
The first interior end wall is at the foot of the tub and defines a foot rest area. The second interior end wall is located at the head of the tub and defines a back rest area. The bottom of the tub has first and second portions vertically
offset from one another with a bridging member connecting the first and second portions forming a seat. The first portion of the tub bottom is connected to the lower portion of one interior end wall at the foot of the tub, and the second portion of the
tub bottom is connected to the lower portion of the other interior end wall at the head of the tub. This construction forms a seat.
The unit may be used for regular bathing or for therapeutic massage or for cleaning the body, such as when there is dead skin or debris to be removed for example. The various functions of the unit are accomplished by using a number of jets which
may circulate air or liquid to cause the fluid in the tub to impact the body of the user, particularly at specific zone therapy regions of the body. Openings for the jets are provided in the tub. A jet is located in the right sidewall below the right
arm rest above the seat to circulate fluid to the upper right torso of a person seated in the tub. Similarly, a jet is located in the left sidewall below the left arm rest above the seat to circulate fluid to the upper left torso of a person seated in
the tub. Jet exists in the end walls to circulate fluid about the feet and ankles of a child seated in the tub. Another jet exists in the second end wall to circulate fluid about the back of a child. Additional jets in the sidewalls target the legs
Still referring to FIGS. 1-2, the exterior sidewall 26 of the tub is configured as an item of amusement for a child. By item of amusement for a child it is meant an item, object animal or thing that captures a child's attention, causes a child
to smile, peaks a child's imagination or curiosity, or the child views it as a toy or plaything. As illustrated, the exterior sidewall 26 of the tub is configured as a machine or vehicle, in this case, an automobile. The automobile motif includes a
steering wheel 28 supported by mounting arms 30 removably attached to the exterior sidewall 26 with thumbscrews 32 or the like. There are preferably three arms 30 each attached with a thumbscrew 32. Alternatively, the mounting arms could be attached to
the interior sidewalls and front end wall. A bracket extends downwardly from the junction of the three arms forming a simulated accelerator pedal 34. Steering wheel 28 is preferably mounted at the junction of the arms or on the bracket 28.
Referring to FIGS. 3-4, an exterior sidewall of the tub is configured as a fowl, such as a duck 36 for example. To accommodate smaller children, an insert 3 for the tub functions as a booster seat. It is anticipated that a child will migrate
from the duck to the car as the child grow or ages--everybody loves to drive an automobile, even a toy automobile.
Operation of the hydrotherapy unit is believed to be apparent from the foregoing description and drawings, but a few words will be added for emphasis. The unit is rolled on its wheels or slid on its skids to the desired location and the tub
filled with water by attaching a fill hose to a water faucet to fill to the desired level. Filling the tub will cause wheels to lock when water in the tub reaches a predetermined level to immobilize the unit. The drain hose is preferably attached prior
to filling or during filling and routed to a suitable household drain. An invalid can be lowered onto the seat prior to attaching the power cord. A person not needing assistance will attach the power cord prior to entering the tub. Additives to the
water cam be introduced as the tub fills or at any time according to instructions for the additive. The jets for circulating the fluid are turned on by pressing the air switch near the right hand of the user. Fluid turbulence is controlled by adjusting
the air intake. During use, if the fluid rises above the predetermined threshold level, the drain pump automatically operates to pump out excess fluid. When finished with the bath or therapy, the discharge pump switch is operated to drain the tub. The
power cord and hoses are coiled about the bracket until the next use. The wheels or skids are used to move the unit to its storage area until needed.
It can now be appreciated that a transportable hydrotherapy unit has been presented that features a motif to hold a child's attention. It can be used in hospitals, nursing facilities, schools and other institutions, and homes as well. The unit
features a nonskid seat, built-in ground fault protection, air switches and an automatic over flow. Its wheels or skids allow for easy movement from a storage location to a work location. Because the unit is constructed of waterproof material with the
working components protected from the elements, it can be used outdoors as well as indoors.
While the invention has been described with particular reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements of the preferred
embodiment without departing from invention. For example, the exterior sidewall can be formed in any configuration to hold a child's attention.
As is evident from the foregoing description, certain aspects of the invention are not limited to the particular details of the examples illustrated, and it is therefore contemplated that other modifications and applications will occur to those
skilled in the art. It is accordingly intended that the claims shall cover all such modifications and applications as do not depart from the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Ravana,Duryodhana, Bhoja (Dandakya), Karala (Vaideha), Janamejaya, Talajangha, Aila, Ajabindhu, Sauvira (Jayadratha), Arjuna (Haihaya), Vatapi and Vrishnis who conspired against Dwaipayana (Veda Vyasa). He gives them as examples of people who failed because they were unable to conquer their six internal enemies. (Desire,anger etc…)
Chanakya lived after Bharadwaja, Visalaksha,Parasara (father of Veda Vyasa), Pisuna, Kaunapadanta, Vatavyadhi and Bahudanti . He quotes their views on the matter of selection of ministers.
Chanakya lived after the following kings killed by their own families: Bhadrasena; Kárusa, Kásirája (killed by his queen), Vairantya, Sauvíra, Jálútha, Vidúratha.
So we know that Veda Vyasa lived before Chanakya. Vyasa was the grandfather of the Kauravas.
Veda Vyasa compiled the histories of the people and events before his time in the Puranas. Each Purana gives us a list of the people through which he heard the purana. For example he learned the Siva Mahapurana from Sanatkumara, who learned it from Nandikeswara, who learned it from Siva himself. Vyasa (Krishna Dwaipayana) was the great grand son of Vasishtha who was the guru of Sri Rama. (See : Generations between Rama and Krishna., Generations previous to Sri Rama. )
- Vyasa classified the Veda Mantras, which included mantras by his father Parasara and mantras by his grandfather Sakthi and his great grandfather Vasishtha.
- Vyasa edited and compiled the Puranas which contained incidents of times before him – like the flood of the Matsya Avataram. as well as the achievements of Siva, Vishnu, Karthikeya and others.
- He made a reference to the Valmiki Ramayanam, and gave it as a reason why he need not explain the story of Rama in detail.
- He originally wrote the Mahabharatam and the SrimadBhagavatham, to reflect the heroic events of his time. The Bharatam includes the story of Sri Rama in it, as told to Draupadi to encourage her, that justice would prevail.
- He classified the Mahabharatam and Valmiki ramayanam as Itihasas.
Vyasa left a Placeholder for Future Events :
- There was a section in every purana to deal with events after the Bharata war.
- This section was written in the future tense to capture the time of the original work.
- It was updated every century or every dynasty.
- A special Purana called the Bhavishya Purana deals with incidents of the Kaliyuga. It was last updated in the time of QutbUdDin Aibak.
The british colonials dated the Puranas at the time of their last updation. This is like taking a diary maintained by a family for generations and dating all the incidents of that diary at the time of the last entry. It is silly to say the list. The anti-astrology people rejected the entire sections based solely on the use of future tense. It did not occur to them to treat it as a style issue.
David Frawley is not a typical western writer who maintains the colonial traditions. Yet he dates the Puranas as 400 AD. But he makes the following errors:
- Though he accurately interprets the shlokas and mantras, astronomically., he treats them in isolation.
- For example, he quotes a shlokam from the Vishnu Puranam which gives the astronomic date of 400 AD, but does not provide the context. It think that date-time-stamp indicated by that shlokam refers to an incident of 400 AD or to the poet who updated it.
Approximate Dateline as worked out by me, to be refined, filled in and expanded : this is based on a 3102 BCE date for the start of kaliyuga. (See : Date of Sri Rama, Date of the Mahabharata War, How many kinds of Sakas (Eras) are there? How many kinds of Yugas are there? Date of Veda Mantras Equinoxes and Dating Vedas )
- Some Veda Mantras were composed by Vasishtha on the banks of Godavari and on the shores of the Bay of Bengal.
- The Matsya Avatar is a contemporary of Satyavrata Manu, a forefather of Sri Rama. Vasishtha was on the boat to the Himalayas and helped Ikshvaku settle Ayodhya after the flood.
- Vishnu and Garuda defeated the brothers Sumali, Mali and Malyavan. (Sumali was the grandfather of Ravana)
- Surya Siddhantam created by Maya Danava.
- Siva destroyed Tripura built by Maya Danava, Ravana’s father-in-law.
- Veda Mantras of Parasara and Sakthi.
- Rama killed Ravana.
- Valmiki composed Ramayanam.
- Satrughna killed Lavanasura and established Mathura
- Bharata conquered Takshasila and Pushkalavata.
- Uttarkanda of Valmiki Ramayanam completed
- Veda Vyasa classified the Veda Mantras and he edited, abridged and compiled the Puranas. (between 3138 and 3162 BCE. (BC))
- Mahabharata war. (3138 BCE)
- Veda Vyasa Composed Mahabharatam (Jayam) and Srimad Bhagvatham (3102 to 3098 BCE): Puranas received by Saunaka and others at Naimsaranya.
- Janamejaya’s dana sasana patram. (3009 BCE)
- Aryans arrive in India (2100 BCE)
- Kautilya Artha Sastram

More Burial EP details2011-12-21 by Deviant STAFF | 22 Comments
|Nearly two weeks after Kode9's almost casual tweet regarding the existence of a new EP, random links to foreign distributors and DVA pulling out just over 2 minutes of new material, Hyperdub have officially announced details regarding Burial's new EP, Kindred.|
The 3-track EP has now been confirmed to be released in January, ahead of the February release date previously mentioned. The tracklist is as follows:
3. Ashtray Wasp
You can catch the sample of 'Ashtray Wasp' along with tracks off forthcoming records from DVA and Cooly G off of DVA's Rinse podcast, which can be legally downloaded at the link below.
In related news, DVA is set to release his debut LP, Pretty Ugly through Hyperdub as well, on March 19th 2012. You can check out the first single off the album, 'Madness', below.
Kode9, the original dubstep santa
When is the full length coming ... this EP business is driving me nuts.
I hate EPs. It would be great if this is just a precursor to a new LP.
He's realized that in this scene making LP's doesn't pay. Putting out three track tasty morsels of consistent high quality ala Hessle, Hotflush et al is the way to be going about things.
Any release by Burial is welcomed
Just give me an LP.
I like EPs so it's all good
eps are fine once in a while
nah, i dig EP's. easily digestible, unforgiving toward filler. psyched.
it's new Burial guys who gives a fuck if it's one song or 10, it's gonna be worth the wait regardless
Digging: clipping. - Splendor & Misery
nah, i dig EP's. easily digestible, unforgiving toward filler. psyched.
My mouth is a-waterin'
the song Four Tet played at the warehouse show sounds amaaaazing.
I don't think burial's music works that well when on an EP,
his work needs to be on a full length to be fully realized
My patience is coming to an end

Tasnim– Seyed Hossein Mousavian, a former Iranian nuclear negotiator, said the Saudis are using their nuclear program as a leverage to “incentivize” US President Donald Trump to mount pressure on Iran and ultimately undo the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“…the Saudis have put a lucrative nuclear business deal on the table for Trump. Their main goal is that if the US accepts enrichment & heavy water in Iran, it should accept it in Saudi Arabia, or else Iran’s enrichment & heavy water should be revoked. Of course, they do not care about Israel’s enrichment and reprocessing capabilities. So by providing this lucrative deal and giving immunity to Israel’s nuclear activities, the Saudis aim to incentivize Trump to pressure Iran more and undo the nuclear deal,” Mousavian told Tasnim.
Seyed Hossein Mousavian is an Iranian policymaker and scholar who served on Iran’s nuclear diplomacy team in negotiations with the EU and International Atomic Energy Agency. He currently resides in the United States, where he is a visiting research scholar at Princeton University.
Following is the full text of the interview.
Tasnim: According to a report recently carried by the New York Times, Britain, France and Germany are trying to create a “successor deal” to the 2015 nuclear agreement between Tehran and world powers in an attempt to appease US President Donald Trump. The proposed instructions stipulate that the Europeans agree to three key fixes: “a commitment to renegotiate limits on missile testing by Iran; an assurance that inspectors have unfettered access to Iranian military bases; and an extension of the deal’s expiration dates to prevent Iran from resuming the production of nuclear fuel long after the current restrictions expire in 2030,” the same report said. What is your take on this?
Mousavian: The Europeans want to convince Trump to remain in the deal and believe Trump needs to feel he has achieved more than Obama. The discussions they are having with the Trump administration now center on Iran’s regional role, ballistic missile program, and the JCPOA’s “sunset clauses” and “inspection terms”. The biggest sticking point is the sunset clauses. Trump wants the deal to extend indefinitely, while based on the New York Times’ report, the Europeans are apparently willing to discuss an “add-on” or “successor” deal.
However, my take on it is that:
First, the European powers understand that they cannot change the JCPOA’s terms or join Trump in his quest to undo the deal.
Second, the Europeans believe that since the sunsets will not be an issue for the next six or seven years, engaging Iran on what happens after will not hurt and can convince Trump to remain in the deal. As such, the potential scenario is that the Europeans are seeking to open a door with Iran to discuss what happens after the deal and what can be agreed on missile program and regional issues, in exchange for Trump not violating the deal and keeping it in place.
Tasnim: It seems that the Europeans are most comfortable with enforcing new limits on Iran’s ballistic missile development and testing and, in fact, are using the alleged “flaws” mentioned by the US as an opportunity to curb the country’s missile capability. Do you believe so?
Mousavian: The European powers understand that piece-meal negotiations with Iran on its ballistic missile program will never get anywhere because the Saudis have more advanced missiles with longer range and the Israelis even have nuclear missiles. They know that the only path for serious negotiations on Iran’s missile program would be to have a conventional arms arrangement applied on a region-wide basis. And given that Iran’s expenditures on conventional arms are far less than the other regional powers, the biggest challenge to achieving this will be the Arab Persian Gulf states and Israel. So the Europeans’ biggest constraint will be those and given this, they would be wise to get the US to support them in any initiative for regional arms control.
Tasnim: Saudi Arabia is trying to fish in troubled water with reports suggesting that the Trump administration is opening talks with Saudi Arabia on a potentially lucrative atomic energy agreement. Riyadh is exploring a “civilian” nuclear energy program, possibly without restrictions on uranium enrichment and reprocessing that would be required under a US cooperation deal. The Saudis have reportedly indicated they might accept such curbs if a separate nuclear deal with Iran is tightened. They are after a nuclear deal in the shadow of the JCPOA. What is behind the Saudi nuclear program?
Mousavian: My understanding is the Saudis’ reading of Trump’s mindset is that he is after “deals” and business. Given they seemingly want up to 20 nuclear power plants, the package they have put on the table for US nuclear companies will easily be for over $100 billion. So the Saudis have put a lucrative nuclear business deal on the table for Trump. Their main goal is that if the US accepts enrichment & heavy water in Iran, it should accept it in Saudi Arabia, or else Iran’s enrichment & heavy water should be revoked. Of course, they do not care about Israel’s enrichment and reprocessing capabilities. So by providing this lucrative deal and giving immunity to Israel’s nuclear activities, the Saudis aim to incentivize Trump to pressure Iran more and undo the nuclear deal.

Air Products, a leader in hydrogen fuelling technology has today opened a new and novel fuelling station which draws its feedstock from the municipal wastewater treatment plant at Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD).
A world’s first, the Fountain Valley renewable source generates hydrogen, electricity and heat. Moreover, it marks a significant opportunity for other biogas feedstock streams. Ed Heydorn, Business Development Manager of Air Products’ Hydrogen Energy Systems applauded the innovacy of the operation, he said, “This location will show how well this technology works and can be applied to wastewater and other waste applications to generate hydrogen. It is another first for Air Products in terms of the varied sources of feed from which hydrogen can be produced, stored and dispensed by our proprietary fueling technology.”
“Another plus is that renewable hydrogen is required to be in the mix in fueling stations in California,” continued Heydorn. “We look to this type of technology as a platform to meet the renewable requirement and to supply even cleaner hydrogen to the next generation of fuel cell vehicles.”
Heydorn also praised the public-private project collaboration that included the United States Department of Energy, which provided partial funding; OCSD; Air Products; FuelCell Energy; National Fuel Cell Research Center at the University of California, Irvine; California Air Resources Board; and South Coast Air Quality Management District.
But it wasn’t just Air Products who lauded the achievement. Professor Scott Samuelsen, Director for the National Fuel Cell Research Centre, University of California also applauded the facility. He said, “This is the epitome of sustainability by taking a human waste and transforming it into electricity which we need, and transportation fuel that we need, as well as thermal product heat that could serve the process of transforming the feed waste into productive product.”
“This project is at the nexus of the challenge for the next millennium associating how we handle in concert transportation, energy and water resources.”
Feedstock sources such as agricultural, food, and brewery wastes and landfill gas can benefit from this technology. If all of these available streams were converted to hydrogen, it could support fueling up to 200 million fuel cell vehicles in the U.S. with hydrogen and point to sustainable energy independence.
Air Products was also involved with another fueling station opening in California three months ago and has 11 stations operating in the state overall.

ARGENTINA 45 TONGA 16
Argentina took a huge step to the World Cup quarter-finals with a comprehensive win over Tonga in front of football great Diego Maradona.
The Pumas lived dangerously early on against the combative Sea Eagles but a blistering four minutes in the first half proved decisive to seal a 45-16 victory in Leicester.
Maradona, who inspired his country to victory in the football World Cup in 1986, saw Juan Imhoff become the Pumas’ all-time Rugby World Cup top tryscorer when he went over during an incisive break and Nicolas Sanchez also scored 26 points.
Kurt Morath missed four kicks for Tonga before Argentina hit cruise control in the final 10 minutes thanks to tries from Julian Montoya and Santiago Cordero.
Victory over Namibia in their final Pool C game would see Argentina claim the runners-up spot behind New Zealand with Tonga’s hopes hanging by a thread ahead of their final game against the All Blacks.
Both sides were eyeing qualification ahead of the game and Tonga named the oldest starting side in World Cup history at 31 years and 38 days.

Sometimes you may want something different on your shirts other than a one-color heat transfer vinyl. Maybe you want to make a shirt using multiple colors.
But it may be a bit intimidating since it needs some special skills. Don’t worry.
You are in the right place to learn them.
In this tutorial, we would like to take you through a step-by-step process on how to layer HTV. Before that, we would like to discuss more about HTV.
What is HTV?
First of all, HTV stands for Heat Transfer Vinyl. HTV is a material with a carrier that has been specially formulated. You can apply it easily with a combination of pressure and heat.
An excellent example of HTV is the Siser EasyWeed. This is a high-quality brand that most people find easy to weed and use.
You can also apply it on fabrics like leather, polyester, cotton, and poly/cotton blends.
With HTV, you can add your customized touches to T-shirts and garments among other accessories. Many crafters are hoping to start an HTV vinyl business because it helps them design what they want.
HTV is available in pre-cut sheets.
How can you layer HTV?
Layering HTV shouldn’t be stressful anymore. Below are the steps to follow to complete the whole process.
Mirror and size design
You need to mirror your design as you start your heat transfer project. It’s easy to do this using your Design Studio Software.
Choose the whole design then click on Object, Mirror, and finally Flip Horizontally. You can lastly level your design to the size you intend to cut it at.
Fill the Design Elements
It’s now time to change each color of those designs so that they can match the vinyl you will use for each of them. You can use the Fill Panel to do this.
Through this step, you will get to know the outlook of your final design and each cutting will be easier.
Remove overlapping elements
In the third step, you need to make sure you don’t layer HTV on top of another one, to reduce extra thickness.
This step helps you line up your pieces and offers you thinner results as well. Let’s say you are making a bunny with sunglasses.
- Layer the mouth and bunny ears on the bunny head.
- You can first make copies of the lenses and keep them aside for later use.
- Select both the sunglasses and bunny head shape and click on the “Modify” Panel.
- Select “Subtract” to cut the shape of the sunglasses from the bunny head shape.
- You can then shape the sunglasses to be a bit larger using the offset tool. You can as well repeat this step to cut lenses from the shape of the sunglasses then you will be ready to cut.
Cutting By Fill color
In this step, we are going to separate different elements of the colored design into their specific layers. You can get the “Action By Fill” from the send tab.
You should tap on “Action by Fill” from the send tab.
This step makes it easy to separate each area of the design of every piece of vinyl.
Weeding involves removing the excess vinyl from your design. You should make use of your weeding hook to do this.
Iron each layer on
After weeding, you need to iron each layer. Begin with the topmost layer.
Use an iron on the cotton setting to apply your design to the shirt. However, you should turn off the steam before doing this.
Avoid giving the first layers a lot of heat immediately as they will still be heated with the additional layer. After cooling off the flocked vinyl, get rid of the clear plastic then apply the following segment.
Cover the design with multi-use paper or parchment paper. This protects the vinyl that you had previously applied from the iron.
Repeat these steps until you apply all layers. That’s all about layering HTV. However, there is yet another way to layer HTV vinyl.
How to layer HTV without the cut-out method
You can as well layer heat transfer without using the cutout method. This method involves cutting by color using the silhouette.
We are going to use the DIY mermaid bag. Here’s how.
- Go to the second tab on the Silhouette studio software then press on “Action”.
- Select “Fill” under the “Action” tab. This should help you separate the design into various layers depending on the fill color of every shape.
Action by line is another option that can help you separate by line color.
Find out the colors you don’t want to cut at the moment and uncheck them. Choose the colors you wish for the current material and check them.
Choose the correct material on the drop-down menu.
That’s how easy it is to layer HTV without using the cutout method.
Layering HTV shouldn’t give you a throbbing headache anymore. You can now get the designs you want using different colors.

This scene was perfect
That time James Bond replied to homoerotic taunting not with some macho no homo bullshit, but by calmly implying he was bisexual anyway and somehow did not suddenly cease to be awesome but instead roughly doubled in awesome points.
I love this scene so much.
Reason #27398472943824 I love the Daniel Craig version of James Bond.
What makes it the most wonderful thing of all is that James Bond as a character is the pinnacle of supposed masculinity - he gets the guns, the girls and the grandeur. But masculinity is a very fragile construct that is always in crisis. Bond cannot be like that. I enjoy how much Skyfall plays that up.
James Bond 007 - Casino Royale (2006)
Vesper Lynd: It doesn’t bother you? Killing all those people?
James Bond: Well I wouldn’t be very good at my job if it did.
