Having bad breath feels gross and tastes even worse. Many people choose to eat mints to combat it. But now you can take your bad-breath prevention a step further with Peppermint Xylitol Mints.
Spry Mints not only freshen your breath, but they also defend against dental health problems. Each mint has .5g of xylitol. Xylitol also doesn’t allow bacteria to stick to teeth. This quality means the bacteria can’t colonize in the mouth. Because they can’t thrive, they also can’t produce their bi-product, acid, which is the culprit to tooth decay and cavities.
With the regular use of Spry Mints, you will not only go throughout your day with fresh breath, but you will know that your teeth have the defense they deserve.

Another area of pathologic changes associated with diabetes mellitus is the nervous system (diabetic neuropathy), particularly in the peripheral nerves of the lower extremities. The patient typically experiences a “stocking-type” anesthesia beginning about 10 years after the onset of the disease. There may eventually be almost total anesthesia of the affected part with the potential for serious injury to the part without the patient being aware of it. In contrast, some patients experience debilitating pain and hyperesthesia, with loss of deep tendon reflexes.
What is type 2 diabetes and prediabetes? Behind type 2 diabetes is a disease where the body’s cells have trouble responding to insulin – this is called insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone needed to store the energy found in food into the body’s cells. In prediabetes, insulin resistance starts growing and the beta cells in the pancreas that release insulin will try to make even more insulin to make up for the body’s insensitivity. This can go on for a long time without any symptoms. Over time, though, the beta cells in the pancreas will fatigue and will no longer be able to produce enough insulin – this is called “beta burnout.” Once there is not enough insulin, blood sugars will start to rise above normal. Prediabetes causes people to have higher-than-normal blood sugars (and an increased risk for heart disease and stroke). Left unnoticed or untreated, blood sugars continue to worsen and many people progress to type 2 diabetes. After a while, so many of the beta cells have been damaged that diabetes becomes an irreversible condition.

While this can produce different types of complications, good blood sugar control efforts can help to prevent them. This relies heavily on lifestyle modifications such as weight loss, dietary changes, exercise and, in some cases, medication. But, depending on your age, weight, blood sugar level, and how long you've had diabetes, you may not need a prescription right away. Treatment must be tailored to you and, though finding the perfect combination may take a little time, it can help you live a healthy, normal life with diabetes.

Sugar doesn't cause diabetes. But there is one way that sugar can influence whether a person gets type 2 diabetes. Consuming too much sugar (or sugary foods and drinks) can make people put on weight. Gaining too much weight leads to type 2 diabetes in some people. Of course, eating too much sugar isn't the only cause of weight gain. Weight gain from eating too much of any food can make a person's chance of getting diabetes greater.
Diabetes mellitus is linked with an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, poor blood circulation to the legs and damage to the eyes, feet and kidneys. Early diagnosis and strict control of blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol levels can help to prevent or delay these complications associated with diabetes. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle (regular exercise, eating healthily and maintaining a healthy weight) is important in reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Injections of insulin may either be added to oral medication or used alone. Most people do not initially need insulin. When it is used, a long-acting formulation is typically added at night, with oral medications being continued. Doses are then increased to effect (blood sugar levels being well controlled). When nightly insulin is insufficient, twice daily insulin may achieve better control. The long acting insulins glargine and detemir are equally safe and effective, and do not appear much better than neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH) insulin, but as they are significantly more expensive, they are not cost effective as of 2010. In those who are pregnant insulin is generally the treatment of choice.

The body obtains glucose from three main sources: the intestinal absorption of food; the breakdown of glycogen (glycogenolysis), the storage form of glucose found in the liver; and gluconeogenesis, the generation of glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates in the body. Insulin plays a critical role in balancing glucose levels in the body. Insulin can inhibit the breakdown of glycogen or the process of gluconeogenesis, it can stimulate the transport of glucose into fat and muscle cells, and it can stimulate the storage of glucose in the form of glycogen.
Random blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken at a random time. Blood sugar values are expressed in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Regardless of when you last ate, a random blood sugar level of 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher suggests diabetes, especially when coupled with any of the signs and symptoms of diabetes, such as frequent urination and extreme thirst.
Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can be caused by too much insulin, too little food (or eating too late to coincide with the action of the insulin), alcohol consumption, or increased exercise. A patient with symptoms of hypoglycemia may be hungry, cranky, confused, and tired. The patient may become sweaty and shaky. Left untreated, the patient can lose consciousness or have a seizure. This condition is sometimes called an insulin reaction and should be treated by giving the patient something sweet to eat or drink like a candy, sugar cubes, juice, or another high sugar snack.
Janis McWilliams, RN, MSN, CDE, BC-ADM, responds: Yes, in type 1 diabetes in particular, the onset of symptoms like frequent urination and extreme thirst can be very sudden. In type 2 diabetes, the symptoms tend to come about more gradually, and sometimes there are no signs at all. People who have symptoms should contact their health care provider immediately for an accurate diagnosis. Keep in mind that these symptoms could signal other problems, too.
A final note about type 1: Some people have a "honeymoon" period, a brief remission of symptoms while the pancreas is still secreting some insulin. The honeymoon phase typically occurs after insulin treatment has been started. A honeymoon can last as little as a week or even up to a year. But the absence of symptoms doesn't mean the diabetes is gone. The pancreas will eventually be unable to secrete insulin, and, if untreated, the symptoms will return.
Most pediatric patients with diabetes have type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and a lifetime dependence on exogenous insulin. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by an absolute or relative deficiency of insulin, an anabolic hormone. Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans located in the pancreas, and the absence, destruction, or other loss of these cells results in type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus [IDDM]). A possible mechanism for the development of type 1 diabetes is shown in the image below. (See Etiology.)
Diabetes mellitus, or as it's more commonly known diabetes, is a disease characterized by an excess of blood glucose, or blood sugar, which builds up in the bloodstream when your body isn't able to adequately process the sugar in food. High blood sugar is an abnormal state for the body and creates specific symptoms and possible long-term health problems if blood sugar is not managed well.
All types of diabetes mellitus have something in common. Normally, your body breaks down the sugars and carbohydrates you eat into a special sugar called glucose. Glucose fuels the cells in your body. But the cells need insulin, a hormone, in your bloodstream in order to take in the glucose and use it for energy. With diabetes mellitus, either your body doesn't make enough insulin, it can't use the insulin it does produce, or a combination of both.
The term "diabetes" or "to pass through" was first used in 230 BCE by the Greek Apollonius of Memphis. The disease was considered rare during the time of the Roman empire, with Galen commenting he had only seen two cases during his career. This is possibly due to the diet and lifestyle of the ancients, or because the clinical symptoms were observed during the advanced stage of the disease. Galen named the disease "diarrhea of the urine" (diarrhea urinosa).
Women seem to be at a greater risk as do certain ethnic groups, such as South Asians, Pacific Islanders, Latinos, and Native Americans. This may be due to enhanced sensitivity to a Western lifestyle in certain ethnic groups. Traditionally considered a disease of adults, type 2 diabetes is increasingly diagnosed in children in parallel with rising obesity rates. Type 2 diabetes is now diagnosed as frequently as type 1 diabetes in teenagers in the United States.
The glucose level at which symptoms develop varies greatly from individual to individual (and from time to time in the same individual), depending in part on the duration of diabetes, the frequency of hypoglycemic episodes, the rate of fall of glycemia, and overall control. (Glucose is also the sole energy source for erythrocytes and the kidney medulla.)
As of 2015, an estimated 415 million people had diabetes worldwide, with type 2 DM making up about 90% of the cases. This represents 8.3% of the adult population, with equal rates in both women and men. As of 2014, trends suggested the rate would continue to rise. Diabetes at least doubles a person's risk of early death. From 2012 to 2015, approximately 1.5 to 5.0 million deaths each year resulted from diabetes. The global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was estimated to be US$612 billion. In the United States, diabetes cost $245 billion in 2012.
Being overweight is a risk factor for developing diabetes, but other risk factors such as how much physical activity you get, family history, ethnicity, and age also play a role. Unfortunately, many people think that weight is the only risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but many people with type 2 diabetes are at a normal weight or only moderately overweight.
Fasting plasma glucose level: If your blood glucose level is 7.0 mmol/L or higher after having not eaten anything for at least 8 hours – called fasting – your doctor may diagnose diabetes. If your blood glucose level is between 6.1 to 6.9 mmol/L, your doctor may diagnose impaired fasting glucose or prediabetes (a condition that may later develop into diabetes).
Talking to a counselor or therapist may help you cope with the lifestyle changes that come with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis. You may find encouragement and understanding in a type 2 diabetes support group. Although support groups aren't for everyone, they can be good sources of information. Group members often know about the latest treatments and tend to share their own experiences or helpful information, such as where to find carbohydrate counts for your favorite takeout restaurant. If you're interested, your doctor may be able to recommend a group in your area.
A study by Chan et al indicated that in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes, the presence of hypoglycemia is a sign of decreased insulin sensitivity, while hyperglycemia in these patients, especially overnight, signals improved sensitivity to insulin. In contrast, the investigators found evidence that in pediatric patients with type 2 diabetes, markers of metabolic syndrome and hyperglycemia are associated with reduced insulin sensitivity. Patients in the study were between ages 12 and 19 years.
After eating carbohydrates, the carbs break down into sugar, trigger the pancreas to produce insulin and are then stored in liver and muscles. However, there is a limit to the amount of sugar the liver and muscles can store. The easiest way to understand this is to think of your liver and muscles as small closets without much storage space. If sugar keeps coming in, the closet will quickly fill up.
Research has shown that there are some ways of preventing type 2 diabetes, or at least delaying its onset. Lifestyle changes such as becoming more active (or staying active, if you already engage in regular physical activity) and making sure your weight stays in a healthy range are two ways to help ward off type 2 diabetes, but talk to your doctor about what else you can do to prevent or manage the disease.
The good news is that prevention plays an important role in warding off these complications. By maintaining tight control of your blood glucose—and getting it as close to normal as possible—you’ll help your body function in the way that it would if you did not have diabetes. Tight control helps you decrease the chances that your body will experience complications from elevated glucose levels.
A growing number of people in the U.S. and throughout the world are overweight and more prone to develop Type 2 diabetes, particularly if they have the genetics for it. "Type 2 diabetes can be caused by genetic inheritance, but by far the obesity epidemic has created massive increases in the occurrence of Type 2 diabetes. This is due to the major insulin resistance that is created by obesity," Gage says.
The definition of a genetic disease is a disorder or condition caused by abnormalities in a person's genome. Some types of genetic inheritance include single inheritance, including cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Marfan syndrome, and hemochromatosis. Other types of genetic diseases include multifactorial inheritance. Still other types of genetic diseases include chromosome abnormalities (for example, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome), and mitochondrial inheritance (for example, epilepsy and dementia).
People with glucose levels between normal and diabetic have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or insulin resistance. People with impaired glucose tolerance do not have diabetes, but are at high risk for progressing to diabetes. Each year, 1% to 5% of people whose test results show impaired glucose tolerance actually eventually develop diabetes. Weight loss and exercise may help people with impaired glucose tolerance return their glucose levels to normal. In addition, some physicians advocate the use of medications, such as metformin (Glucophage), to help prevent/delay the onset of overt diabetes.

Archives of Internal Medicine. 172 (17): 1–8. doi:10.1001/archinternmed.2012.3147. PMID 22868819.
Home blood glucose monitoring kits are available so patients with diabetes can monitor their own levels. A small needle or lancet is used to prick the finger and a drop of blood is collected and analyzed by a monitoring device. Some patients may test their blood glucose levels several times during a day and use this information to adjust their doses of insulin.
In ‘type 2 diabetes’ (previously called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus), which accounts for 90% of all diabetes, the beta cells do not stop making insulin completely, but the insulin produced does not work properly so it struggles to store the sugar found in the blood. As a consequence, the pancreas has to produce more insulin to compensate for this reduction in insulin function. This is called insulin resistance and is commonly linked to obesity. This type of diabetes is seen more commonly over the age of 40 years but can occur at any age.
If sugars in general are not associated with increased diabetes risk, but sodas are, it suggests the possibility that something other than sugar explains this relationship.16 Sodas are often accompanied by cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets, and other unhealthful foods. That is, soda consumption can be a sign of a diet focusing on fast foods or an overall unhealthful diet and lifestyle. And sugary snack foods (e.g., cookies and snack pastries) are often high in fat; the sugar lures us in to the fat calories hiding inside. Some, but not all, observational trials have sought to control for these confounding variables.
A 2018 study suggested that three types should be abandoned as too simplistic. It classified diabetes into five subgroups, with what is typically described as type 1 and autoimmune late-onset diabetes categorized as one group, whereas type 2 encompasses four categories. This is hoped to improve diabetes treatment by tailoring it more specifically to the subgroups.
The classic symptoms of diabetes are polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst), polyphagia (increased hunger), and weight loss. Other symptoms that are commonly present at diagnosis include a history of blurred vision, itchiness, peripheral neuropathy, recurrent vaginal infections, and fatigue. Many people, however, have no symptoms during the first few years and are diagnosed on routine testing. A small number of people with type 2 diabetes mellitus can develop a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (a condition of very high blood sugar associated with a decreased level of consciousness and low blood pressure).
DM is a strong independent predictor of short- and long-term recurrent ischemic events, including mortality, in acute coronary syndrome (ACS),6,7 including unstable angina and non-ST-elevation MI (NSTEMI),8 ST-elevation MI (STEMI) treated medically,9 and ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).10,11 Furthermore, the concomitant presence of cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities that negatively affect the outcomes of ACS is higher in DM patients.12
If the amount of insulin available is insufficient, or if cells respond poorly to the effects of insulin (insulin insensitivity or insulin resistance), or if the insulin itself is defective, then glucose will not be absorbed properly by the body cells that require it, and it will not be stored appropriately in the liver and muscles. The net effect is persistently high levels of blood glucose, poor protein synthesis, and other metabolic derangements, such as acidosis.
Type 2 diabetes, a form of diabetes mellitus, is likely one of the better-known chronic diseases in the world — and that's no surprise. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest in the United States alone, 30.3 million people, or 9.4 percent of the U.S. population, has diabetes, and the majority of these people have type 2. (1)
Polyuria is defined as an increase in the frequency of urination. When you have abnormally high levels of sugar in your blood, your kidneys draw in water from your tissues to dilute that sugar, so that your body can get rid of it through the urine. The cells are also pumping water into the bloodstream to help flush out sugar, and the kidneys are unable to reabsorb this fluid during filtering, which results in excess urination.
Watch for thirst or a very dry mouth, frequent urination, vomiting, shortness of breath, fatigue and fruity-smelling breath. You can check your urine for excess ketones with an over-the-counter ketones test kit. If you have excess ketones in your urine, consult your doctor right away or seek emergency care. This condition is more common in people with type 1 diabetes but can sometimes occur in people with type 2 diabetes.
Which came first: the diabetes or the PCOS? For many women, a diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome means a diabetes diagnosis isn’t far behind. PCOS and diabetes are both associated with insulin resistance, meaning there are similar hormonal issues at play in both diseases. Fortunately, managing your PCOS and losing weight may help reduce your risk of becoming diabetic over time.
The most common cause of acquired blindness in many developed nations, diabetic retinopathy is rare in the prepubertal child or within 5 years of onset of diabetes. The prevalence and severity of retinopathy increase with age and are greatest in patients whose diabetic control is poor.  Prevalence rates seem to be declining, yet an estimated 80% of people with type 1 diabetes mellitus develop retinopathy.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not make enough insulin or the body does not use insulin properly. It usually occurs in adults, although in some cases children may be affected. People with type 2 diabetes usually have a family history of this condition and 90% are overweight or obese. People with type 2 diabetes may eventually need insulin injections. This condition occurs most commonly in people of Indigenous and African descent, Hispanics, and Asians.
Although age of onset and length of the disease process are related to the frequency with which vascular, renal, and neurologic complications develop, there are some patients who remain relatively free of sequelae even into the later years of their lives. Because diabetes mellitus is not a single disease but rather a complex constellation of syndromes, each patient has a unique response to the disease process.
Though it may be transient, untreated GDM can damage the health of the fetus or mother. Risks to the baby include macrosomia (high birth weight), congenital heart and central nervous system abnormalities, and skeletal muscle malformations. Increased levels of insulin in a fetus's blood may inhibit fetal surfactant production and cause infant respiratory distress syndrome. A high blood bilirubin level may result from red blood cell destruction. In severe cases, perinatal death may occur, most commonly as a result of poor placental perfusion due to vascular impairment. Labor induction may be indicated with decreased placental function. A caesarean section may be performed if there is marked fetal distress or an increased risk of injury associated with macrosomia, such as shoulder dystocia.
5. Signs and symptoms ofhyperglycemiaandhypoglycemia, and measures to take when they occur. (See accompanying table.) It is important for patients to become familiar with specific signs that are unique to themselves. Each person responds differently and may exhibit symptoms different from those experienced by others. It should be noted that the signs and symptoms may vary even within one individual. Thus it is vital that the person understand all reactions that could occur. When there is doubt, a simple blood glucose reading will determine the actions that should be taken.
“It’s not like you wake up one day and all of a sudden you’re thirsty, hungry, and [going to the bathroom] all the time,” says Melissa Joy Dobbins, RD, a certified diabetes educator in Illinois and a spokesperson for the American Association of Diabetes Educators. “It picks up gradually.” Indeed, “most people are unaware that they have diabetes in its early or even middle phases,” says Aaron Cypess, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and staff physician at Joslin Diabetes Center. Just because you’re not keyed in doesn’t mean you’re immune from problems associated with diabetes, he adds. The longer you go without controlling diabetes, the greater your risk for heart disease, kidney disease, amputation, blindness, and other serious complications. “We recommend that people with risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history or being overweight, get evaluated on a regular basis,” Dr. Cypess says. If you’ve been feeling off, talk to your doctor about getting a simple blood test that can diagnose the disease. And pay attention to these subtle signs and symptoms of diabetes.

What Our Neighbor’s Suicide Taught Me
Our neighbor seemed to have it all: a great job, a nice house, a large circle of friends. But behind closed doors, his life wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies.
Over the years, he’d struggled with debilitating depression and alcoholism. Although he’d gone to several fancy rehabs, he never stayed sober very long. We frequently saw him stumbling home drunk late at night or looking completely disheveled and hungover most mornings.
It wasn’t until last month, however, we discovered the tight grip that alcohol had on him: one of our friends found him dead in his living room.
He’d hung himself – his life cut short from a disease he just couldn’t beat.
Three Things That Don’t Go Well Together
Unsurprisingly, depression, chemical dependency, and suicide are issues deeply intertwined in our country. In fact, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports 90 percent of people who commit suicide also struggle with a mental health condition, such as depression. People with depression are also more likely to have substance abuse issues.
People with depression often turn to alcohol and drugs in an attempt to escape their feelings of pain and loneliness. These substances, in turn, only serve to worsen those symptoms, such as feelings of persistent sadness and hopelessness, and also create a host of other physical and social problems along the way. These problems can build and build until it feels like an inescapable situation for someone who’s already dealing with a lot. As a result, suicide can seem like the only feasible solution.
How to Help Someone With a Co-Occurring Disorder
If you think a friend or loved one might be struggling with substance abuse and/or a mental health disorder, there are ways you can help. Here are just a few suggestions:
- #1 Talk to Them Start an open and honest conversation with them and listen – without judgment – to what they have to say.
- #2 Don’t Discredit Their EmotionsValidate their feelings and don’t minimize the situation or their pain.
- #3 Ask How You Can Help Ask them what they need and follow through to the best of your ability.
- #4 Help Them Access Professional HelpSteer them toward a professional mental health specialist – one who can treat both substance abuse and depression – and attempt to motivate them to take action.
- #5 Keep in Touch
Check in with them regularly. This will show them you truly care, which can make a real difference in the outcome of the situation.
You Can Make a Difference
Suicide prevention requires a multifaceted approach, and ultimately hinges on whether or not someone will reach out for help. However, with your love and support, you can be the catalyst that enables your loved one to take the first step towards seeking treatment.

Films by Wes Anderson are defined by a number of qualities and elements. A sharp and crisp palette of colours, probably Bill Murray in there somewhere, a certain flash of innocence or naivety, and some glib one-liners along the way.
Although most of his work does contain elements of comedy, some are more defined by drama. This is particularly the case for earlier work like 'Rushmore' and 'Bottle Rocket'. But where do these sit in the scheme of things and compared to his other work?
9. THE DARJEELING LIMITED
Starring Jason Schwartzmann, Adrien Brody and Luke Wilson, The Darjeeling Limited might have been intended to be something along the lines of a road-trip movie. However it came off as something much less engaging. While the gorgeous scenery and colours of India enlivened the screen, the script itself was both dull and depressing. It just didn't do much in the way of connecting on any kind of emotional level with audiences. Moreover, the film felt like it was all at once Wes Anderson's most self-regarding and pointedly vain films. However it had none of the charms of his other work.
8. THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU
Although it's been reclaimed somewhat as a kind of love-it-hate-it film, 'The Life Aquatic' was Anderson at his most ambitious. With a $50 million budget to play with, Anderson used much of it to assemble an impressive cast and play with special effects and settings to create his most lavish work - up until 'Grand Budapest Hotel'. Here, Anderson's characteristic mannerisms tilted over into unmitigated smugness. It didn't help that the central character - played by Bill Murray - was pretty much an asshole who hated the very creature he was trying to find. This in turn kept the audience at bay for most of the film.
7. BOTTLE ROCKET
While it's nowhere near as polished as the work that would follow, there's a lot of themes and visual cues on display in Bottle Rocket that would carry through the rest of his career. Moreover, Anderson's use of ensemble cast and servicing multiple characters in the process wasn't just something he picked up. It's clear from 'Bottle Rocket' that he knew how to work it from the very start. Though it's now somewhat forgotten in lieu of his more recent films, 'Bottle Rocket' is still a fun watch and showcases the Wilson brothers at their most vital and energetic.
6. THE FANTASTIC MR. FOX
Adapting Roald Dahl can be a tricky thing, as the air of whimsy that surrounds the author's work can often be misconstrued and played too straight. See Tim Burton's adaptation of Willy Wonka as an example of how not to do it. Here, Anderson's sensibility fits perfectly with Dahl's knowing humour to create something that's equally unique and familiar all at once. Despite its starry cast - George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray and a singing cameo by Jarvis Cocker - it never feels like they're given more time than other. The heist caper atmosphere really propels it all along.
If one of the major criticisms against Wes Anderson's filmography is that it's insufferably smug, 'Rushmore' was him at least attempting to acknowledge it and make fun of it in the process. Jason Schwartzmann's desperately reaching character Max Fischer is utterly at odds with the world around him - a common theme with Anderson's work. The heightened sense of reality is checked by his own modest upbringing - the scenes with Schwartzmann's on-screen father, played by the great Seymour Cassel, are by far some of the most touching in Anderson's career. While it might not be as layered as his future work, it's got more than enough charm and humour to keep it going. It's a tricky thing to balance vulnerability and annoying smugness in central characters - but here, it works beautifully.
4. THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL
Out of all the films that Wes Anderson's made, his mannered form of dialogue - indeed, his incessant eye for mannered visuals - feels most at home in 'The Grand Budapest Hotel'. It makes sense that a hotel would be extravagantly lavish and ornate beyond reason. It makes sense that the concierge - played brilliantly by Ralph Fiennes - is erudite to the point of parody. Though it's told effectively from several removes - it's an author recounting the story of meeting the elderly owner how he came to initially work in the now dilapidated hotel - it's by far Anderson's most emotional work. The heartbreak that F. Murray Abraham's character exudes is palpable, and you find yourself rooting for Fiennes and his faithful lobby boy. And, of course, it features a memorable array of supporting characters who often steal the limelight in their respective scenes.
3. ISLE OF DOGS
'Isle Of Dogs' has all the characteristics of a Wes Anderson film - young outsiders, a slightly naive approach to the story, rigid dialogue that's probably too sharp for its own good. But all that's essentially blunted by the fact that that same dialogue is being uttered by unbearably cute dogs voiced by some of the finest actors assembled for a cast. Bryan Cranston, Bob Balaban, Jeff Goldblum, Ed Norton, Scarlett Johansson, and many more fill out their roles with such exquisite warmth and humour. The story - though a little simplistic - follows through with a most satisfying finish.
2. MOONRISE KINGDOM
'Moonrise Kingdom's central premise does have a certain commonality with 'The Royal Tennenbaums'. In both you have a dysfunctional family unit trying to maintain order in the face of their own neuroses. However the difference here is that it has none of that film's venom or harder edges. Here, it's bathed in easy sunlight and simpler story arcs and turns. It features a far more hopeful and upbeat atmosphere than any of his previous work. You can tell that Anderson is trying to aim it towards a younger audience without talking down to them, and it's specific in how it relates to them. The adults of the story aren't exactly nice, but they're doing their best.
1. THE ROYAL TENNENBAUMS
It's telling that Anderson's most highly regarded work often centres around a family dynamic and a cast of strange characters. They may appear to be at odds with the world and each other. However a deep-seated harmony lies beneath the surface. With 'Fantastic Mr. Fox', it was a family attempting to maintain unity in the face of adversity. With 'Moonrise Kingdom', it was about feeling like an outsider in your own family and finding a tribe with others. With 'The Royal Tennenbaums', it was how destructive a family unit can be - but few people know you better. In fact, each of the Tennenbaum children keep secrets from their partners, friends, colleagues - all except one another. Smart and knowning, but deeply affectionate to its otherwise damaged characters, 'The Royal Tennenbaums' is Anderson's most complete work.

Last night saw me stitching up a few more squares for my gelato blanket which has been sadly neglected with all my secret sewing I've been working on lately....Just had a quick look and I haven't done a thing with this blanket since July tsk, tsk, tsk......Must get a hustle on!
I also did a few more rows on this, I've nearly finished the last ball and will have my first finish for November hopefully by the end of this weekend wooo hooo....
This is the gorgeous block that Leanne sent to me in the "Let's Celebrate" swap we're in, my favourite colour combination of red and white :) Leanne also sent me the leftover red to use to finish the block of with as well as some beautiful Christmas ribbons. Thanks Leanne I love it all!!
Remember I showed you a sneaky peak with a prettily wrapped pink parcel well these two blocks were hiding in it as well as some fabric etc... but I forgot to take a photo of them all together, maybe Leanne will on her blog, at http://lizzie-the-quilter.blogspot.com/ like Leanne I also sent her the remainder of the fabric I used in constructing her blocks and used it to wrap her blocks up with it with the same thinking that she could use it to finish her blocks of with it. Leanne's got back to me to say she loves her blocks so a big PHEW! here and wiping sweat of my brow lol......now onto the next section of our swap :)
Friday night found me finishing off the last of these stitcheries in preparation for my Christmas giving, wish me luck I now have 16 .......... to cut out and sew up before Christmas, so my Friday was a very productive one for me :)

For years Filipino cuisine has been predicted to be the next “it” food to go from ethnic eats to mainstream menus. Now, with the help of a new generation of Filipino-American chefs, this mixed-culture cuisine with a sweet and salty, almost always acidic flavor, may finally have arrived.
“People have been saying this for how long?” asked chef Dale Talde. “[Filipino food] is bright and poppy and rich and fatty and delicious. I don’t [care] if you like it or not. I’m gonna cook it.”
Talde — a Filipino-American, Top Chef alum and the man behind the Talde restaurants in Brooklyn, N.Y.; Jersey City, N.J.; and Miami Beach, Fla.; as well as the recently opened Massoni in Manhattan and Atlantic Social in Brooklyn — and others like him don’t care much about the trend toward Filipino food. For these passionate chefs, it’s all about food they grew up eating and now love to cook for others.
Talde sometimes puts a dish with a Filipino touch on his menus, like the recent adobo tamale dish at Talde Miami, a Mexican masa tamale stuffed with Filipino adobo pork (cooked in a vinegar, soy sauce and garlic). However, the cuisine of his upbringing is not typically blatantly on his menus, but the influence is still there.
“The use of vinegar, use of acidity in Filipino cuisine is everywhere in my food,” he said. “It’s a cuisine. It’s a piece of me and I’m gonna put it on a plate. I don’t need to call it Filipino.”
But when it makes sense, Talde goes all in. Like at Talde Jersey City, which serves a heavily Filipino community and where he offers once monthly kamayan feasts — kamayan means “with hands” in Tagalog, the predominant language of the Philippines. At those meals all of the menu items are dumped in the center of a banana leaf-covered table that guests then dig in and eat with their hands.
“It’s a fun way of eating,” Talde said. “It sells out every time.”
On why he’s more interested than ever in serving the food of his youth, Talde said:
“I’m in my 30s. I’m finding my flavors, my power, my point of view. Now I’m more serious about what I do. I care. Now you’re seeing that on a plate.”
Similarly, Jess DeGuzman, chef at Sunda New Asian in Chicago, is a Filipino-American who grew up in Chi-town eating adobo, pancit (spaghetti-like rice noodles fried in soy sauce and citrus) and lumpia (a meat-filled spring roll) made by his Filipino immigrant family.
“The Filipino food trend is something we’ve been doing here at Sunda for eight years,” DeGuzman said.
On Sunda’s robust Southeast Asian menu there are more than 60 dishes, about a dozen of which are Filipino, including the classic chicken adobo and pork adobo, pancit and lumpia, and of course, halo halo, the popular Filipino dessert of shaved ice and evaporated milk mixed with an array of savory and sweet ingredients. While he keeps the dishes traditional, DeGuzman does tone down the flavors a bit to appeal to local palates.
Last October DeGuzman offered a kamayan dinner, which he says was such a big hit that he plans to do another one in a few months.
“Filipino food is comfort food,” DeGuzman said. “It’s meant to be eaten with family and friends. It’s everybody shares. It’s always multiple different dishes, finger foods, a spread of many different types of food. An explosion of savoriness.”
When Filipino-American chef Andrew Bantug and his partner Joyce Lau started hosting Upper Room, pop-up dinners at Tomo in the Buckhead section of Atlanta, the meals weren’t focused on Filipino cuisine. But the monthly dinners quickly became exclusively Filipino and have now moved to twice-monthly kamayan dinners.
“I’ve always wanted to do it but never had the opportunity,” said Bantug, a 2008 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. “The pop-up gave me the opportunity to cook some food I know and love.”
Bantug’s first kamayan was held last October and featured dishes such as pancit, lumpia, a barbecued chicken called inasal, boy choy, a fried spring roll with banana and jackfruit called turon, and biko, a sweet rice dessert.
“It got huge positive reception,” Bantug said. “There are a lot of people that are waiting for a chance to come who want to try this menu.”
With the growing demand and a capacity of 60 seats per dinner, Bantug hopes to expand his kamayan dinners to every Sunday, and also to introduce diners to other aspects of Filipino cuisine, including lechon, a whole roasted suckling pig.
“The food industry is always looking or something new, something that hasn’t had the spotlight or exposure,” Bantug said. “Maybe it’s just a natural progression as Thai food and other Southeast Asian food comes out. I think it’s delicious.”
Also shining the spotlight on the long underrepresented cuisine are several new Filipino restaurants across the country. They include the recently opened Perla in Philadelphia, a modern, local and seasonal Filipino-inspired restaurant from chef Lou Boquila, a native of the Philippines. Also turning heads is the much-talked-about Bad Saint in Washington, D.C., a 24-seat, no reservations spot where Filipino-American chef Tom Cunanan cooks up authentic yet modern Filipino fare.

Chrissie Tiller reflects on two occasions recently when she held stakes and took part
As someone who struggles to avoid jargon and corporate "arts-speak", I am aware that few days go by without the words "stakeholders" or "participants" creeping into my conversations. My excuse is I run an MA in Participatory Arts for part of my time and spend the rest working with cultural organisations on things like, "strategic planning" or "reflective practice". Ouch! Bring on those plain English guidelines.
And so it was with a mixture of trepidation and delight that I gave myself up, over the last few weeks, to both holding stakes and taking part. I know we're all “stakeholders” in the bigger Arts Council picture but I wanted something up close and personal.
The first opportunity presented itself with a leaflet on our notice board asking for people to help with a Hackney Council Olympic commemorative mosaic. The proximity of "mosaic" with "local authority" made me a little nervous (something to do with too many '70s school playgrounds) and I completely blanked out “commemorative” and “Olympic”, but the chosen wall was a particularly grim corner of the park opposite so I was happy that something might distract from the general sense of neglect.
I needn't have worried. Although I didn't manage to get involved with the mosaic making I eagerly awaited the artist updates as "our" project developed. I made sure I was there, along with fifty or so other locals, for the official opening. The mosaic itself was the first surprise: a combination of Roman tessarae (bits of marble) and contemporary Hackney that totally pulled the rug from under my prejudiced feet. The second (apart from the sunshine) was not only the moving way those involved spoke of their experience, including reciting poems, but also the make-up of the audience: City of London tenants, regulars from the Wenlock Arms and newly arrived live-workers sharing a moment of pride in a piece of art that "belonged to them".
My participation in 100% London was totally different. For one thing it was 100%. Starting with a text that I was "needed" at a rehearsal room behind Hackney Empire (they were short of women of a certain age), it took over my life for two weeks. There were props to remember, moves to be fixed and stories to re-create each night. There were 100 of us, aged from 4 months to 87 years. I was number 99. Between us we represented the demographic make-up of London's 7.8 million: 59% white British, 4% mixed race, etc. In response to questions – who thought men and women were treated equally; lived in a single person household; was afraid of the future – we moved across the stage. We grouped and re-grouped in a spotlight according to whether we'd had cancer, been homeless, seen someone die. The audience oddly applauding us as if we were some sort of proof that life was survivable. Sadly, unlike Braunschweig where Angela Merkel was on the front row (the creators Rimini Protokoll are German), neither David nor Boris graced us with their presence.
At the end of the last performance we all exchanged telephone numbers, swore to join the Facebook group, take up our "performers" passes to the LIFT green room. So far I haven't done any of these. At the same time I do find myself mentioning the show in some way almost every day. In a seminar on freedom of expression I find myself explaining how many Londoners think it's OK to wear the hijab in public but feel differently about the wearing of it in schools. I've told fellow evaluators how many people are happy to take part in statistical research even though they think the results will be massaged. I can tell them that the group of people who stood centre stage for having had cancer, suffered from depression or considered taking their own lives grew as the performances went on.
Some of my theatre friends hated it; found it patronising. They couldn't understand who had chosen those simplistic questions. (It was the participants.) Others found it moving, enlightening, funny, or loved the diverse picture of London it presented. Some people wondered if it was more important for the participants than the audience. I couldn't tell. I was part of it. I am able to wonder, afterwards, who "owned" the piece. I recognise the participants were mainly self-selecting – those prepared to go on stage. Not to take themselves too seriously. I can ask, as we did of the audience each night, if we were at all "representative"?
So far, I haven't been asked to complete an evaluation form for either project. Although I know neither provided any solution to current social or economic problems, I do have a clear sense of what they did give people: a sense of engagement, belonging to something wider, and, perhaps even more importantly, an awareness of their own creativity, their humour, their capacity for storytelling. Of the place art could play in their lives. Maybe that has to be enough? If we can justify ‘high’ art by saying it's intrinsically worthwhile why does ‘participative’ work have to be argued for in terms of social or economic change; measured in outcomes of social cohesion? Might it not finally have to be enough that we too took part: as makers, as observers, as audience?
I can see the part of the park with the mosaic from my window. The local lads have taken to congregating there in the evenings. They play a game of tossing coins. Sometimes people come to look at the mosaic on purpose; sometimes it just catches their eye as they walk though the nearby tunnel. It hasn't been graffitied yet or been ‘decorated’ with McDonalds take-away. But, as Zhou Enlai reputedly answered when asked about the significance of the French Revolution, it's probably “too early to comment”.

Quote from Personalized Candle Holders :
If you′re a non-Jew and intend to celebrate Hanukah with your Jewish friends, you′re probably wondering what sort of gifts to give to them. Make sure to follow the resin instructions and add exactly the correct quantity of catalyst, as the incorrect amount can cause problems later. All the crafts will have a picture and the site name, where you will come across the craft tutorials and patterns.
When you light a candle you most likely don′t think about the length of time you′re likely to burn it for. Candles are extremely much representative of a new start. You will realize that the candle will start to melt and will release pleasant fragrance as the car becomes warm in sunlight.
It is possible to find very compact ears of Indian corn at the local farm stores. You must get your head and body into the right mode so as to shift the energy and to receive your intention impressed onto whatever it′s that creates the magic.
Then you need only put the candle inside and showcase your new handmade decorative element. At the moment in the interior decor business, candles are among the most bought interior artifacts.

This creates a far more lived in experience for your style and helps to keep away from the utilitarian seem of most toilet cabinetry.
Throw out the old square bathtub and shower enclosure. New toilet tendencies are producing toilet gear natural and organic and no cost flowing.

Borders, bull nose along with other mosaic tile parts are great additions to any bathroom area. Mixing and matching tiles shades, types and styles also are starting to be trendier for bathroom tile designs.
From Lcd televisions embedded during the bathroom wall to electronic thermostats from the shower enclosure, using technology while in the bathroom is often a warm layout trend. Whether or not you put in a self-cleaning shower stall or perhaps a heated toilet seat, technology is a fantastic addition to many loo models.

From reclaimed wood to recycled tiles, an eco-friendly toilet space is usually a incredibly hot trend for bogs. More information about Bathroom Ideas And Designs:

Gusteau's wouldn't even work in Pacific Wharf, imo. Adding a French-themed restaurant in the middle of a California bay/pier themed area is really awkward.
They've already done this! Remy is found in one of the restaurants.Quote:
I also agree that it doesn't belong in DCA. This would be better to maybe integrate something into France's world showcase in Epcot at WDW. Either that or into Fantasyland in either Disneyland or WDW.
It's in Disneyland Paris Resort.Quote:
Where exactly is "Walt Disney Studios Park"? Kinda hard to put a whole land in a park that, as far as I know, doesn't even exist anywhere around DLR, let-alone DCA.
This is like third or fourth BLATANTLY non-California themed ride proposed on these boards in my recent memory. Am I the only one who takes this California theme a little more seriously after this summer's additions.
I mean a ride that takes place in PARIS... C'MON!!!
And really with the French themed restaurants fitting into DCA/Pacific Wharf? You know what else we have in California... Italian restaurants, Brazilian immigrants, bugs and air. The park is about ICONIC California, not literally things that exist in the state.
I'd agree that a restaurant would be more fitting for Ratatouille than a ride. Sounds like a good thing to throw into Downtown, though, as I don't really see where it would fit into DLR or DCA theming-wise (not to mention space...).
Guys, this ride is currently being built in PARIS, in their second park. Has nothing to do with DCA or even USA :)
If they ever were to build a dark ride of the sort in DCA, at least theme it to Remy becoming a successful chef in Hollywood or something, lol.
I'm personally getting kinda tired of Pixar messing around with the entire California theming of the park. The irony is that Carsland is the only Pixar franchise that comes remotely close to fitting the park's theme (TSMM a close second). Everything else Pixar in this park is just way off the map of the California theme. Why call it California Adventure anymore when you can call it Disney's Messy Array of Themes Adventure?
I agree, toonaspie.


Qualified for the World Cup only after the exclusion of Russia for the war, yesterday she beat the Netherlands. Perugian Plotnytskyi: “For our people and our soldiers”
“If this match will serve to give a smile to our people and our soldiers it will be a great thing.” Oleg Plotnytskyi, captain of Ukraine, with the Perugian soul (he has been playing for years at the Sir vice-champion of Italy) is a happy boy. His team, Ukraine, has just beaten the Netherlands at the World Cup in Slovenia, winning the right to play (Wednesday evening at 9pm) the quarter-finals with the hosts. “Everything went better than what we had dreamed of. We knew we could win this match, but not that it would be so fast. It is a great pride what we did: first for our country and then for us, for the team, for our coach. This journey has been underway for 5 years and now the results are coming. ”
Ukraine shouldn’t even have been in this World Cup, not having qualified, but when Russia invaded the country and the World Federation excluded the Moscow national team, ironically, it was the national team with the yellow-blue flag that was rescued. Oleg Plotnytskyi in those early days of the war found himself playing the final of the Italian Cup in Bologna and the entire Bologna sports hall had played the Ukrainian anthem, waving the national flag. Arriving at the World Cup, Ukraine, which is 23rd in the international ranking, certainly did not imagine being able to get that far. Having lost the first match against Serbia, however, Ukraine began to grow game after game and the second place in its group put it in front of the Netherlands after the victories against Tunisia and Puerto Rico. “We knew we had a chance with the Netherlands even though the team is very strong with Ter Horst (his team-mate in Perugia) and Nimir, but that it was very difficult. We repeated ourselves before taking the field that we had to try.”
The dream continues
Now the dream continues on Wednesday evening they face Slovenia. “We know that they are favorites, they play at home, with 11 thousand people cheering for them, but we are not afraid. I assure you that we will give everything. In life it is not often that we have a chance to reach a world semifinal and we do it. we will play to the end “. Also for the dozens of fans who arrived in Slovenia. “Some even from Ukraine – says Oleg, 25 -. The ambassador also came to cheer us on. We will try with all our strength”. For the team, but first for Ukraine.
September 5th – 8:07 pm

Free Comic Book Day just got a little bit better.
Not all heroes wear capes, but all beers have labels — and 4 Hands Brewing Company (1220 S 8th Street, 314-436-1559)
just gave their State Wide hazy pale ale a makeover in celebration of Free Comic Book Day.
The label plays on the theme of comic books and superheroes. Free Comic Book Day, which happens May 7, offers up — you guessed it — free comics in order to bring in new customers to stores and raise money for St. Louis Public Libraries. 4 Hands Brewing is getting in on the unofficial holiday by offering up their ale in partnership with Apotheosis Comics and Lounge and donating a percentage of sales to the libraries, as well.
"We're so excited to partner with 4 Hands on this year’s State Wide fundraising effort," Martin Casas, owner of Apotheosis Comics & Lounge says in a statement. "Raising money for library systems in the state helps true heroes in our community - librarians who provide a vital role of giving families access to education and a world beyond their imagination. As comic book shops, we're in the same business."
Casas further explains that it’s fitting to raise money for libraries because that’s often where readers discover comic books. This is also the first year they’ve been able to hold a “proper” Free Comic Book Day since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, so the partnership is a great way to bring in new customers and introduce a new element to the event, Casas explains.

The new label appears on the State Wide hazy pale ale.
Kevin Lemp, CEO of 4 Hands Brewing Co., says that Casas approached him with the idea “ to highlight the fun we could have in bringing one of our can's art to life through an inspired label.”
“We reached out to Jason Spencer with Killer Napkins to take our State Wide art label and use his creativity to create a story on our can,” Lemp continues. “We cannot wait to share what he created with the community!”
The label will be available on May 7 at 4 Hands Brewing Co., local retailers and at Apotheosis Comics & Lounge located at 3206 S. Grand Boulevard and 3359 S. Jefferson Avenue.

This translation was taken from the JPS Tanakh
Deuteronomy 3:23 – 7:11
23 I pleaded with the Lord at that time, saying, 24 “O Lord God, You who let Your servant see the first works of Your greatness and Your mighty hand, You whose powerful deeds no god in heaven or on earth can equal! 25 Let me, I pray, cross over and see the good land on the other side of the Jordan, that good hill country, and the Lebanon.” 26 But the Lord was wrathful with me on your account and would not listen to me. The Lord said to me, “Enough! Never speak to Me of this matter again! 27 Go up to the summit of Pisgah and gaze about, to the west, the north, the south, and the east. Look at it well, for you shall not go across yonder Jordan. 28 Give Joshua his instructions, and imbue him with strength and courage, for he shall go across at the head of this people, and he shall allot to them the land that you may only see.”
29 Meanwhile we stayed on in the valley near Beth-peor.
1 And now, O Israel, give heed to the laws and rules that I am instructing you to observe, so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. 2 You shall not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it, but keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I enjoin upon you. 3 You saw with your own eyes what the Lord did in the matter of Baal-peor, that the Lord your God wiped out from among you every person who followed Baal-peor; 4 while you, who held fast to the Lord your God, are all alive today.
5 See, I have imparted to you laws and rules, as the Lord my God has commanded me, for you to abide by in the land that you are about to enter and occupy. 6 Observe them faithfully, for that will be proof of your wisdom and discernment to other peoples, who on hearing of all these laws will say, “Surely, that great nation is a wise and discerning people.” 7 For what great nation is there that has a god so close at hand as is the Lord our God whenever we call upon Him? 8 Or what great nation has laws and rules as perfect as all this Teaching that I set before you this day?
9 But take utmost care and watch yourselves scrupulously, so that you do not forget the things that you saw with your own eyes and so that they do not fade from your mind as long as you live. And make them known to your children and to your children’s children: 10The day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, when the Lord said to Me, “Gather the people to Me that I may let them hear My words, in order that they may learn to revere Me as long as they live on earth, and may so teach their children.” 11 You came forward and stood at the foot of the mountain. The mountain was ablaze with flames to the very skies, dark with densest clouds. 12 The Lord spoke to you out of the fire; you heard the sound of words but perceived no shape — nothing but a voice. 13 He declared to you the covenant that He commanded you to observe, the Ten Commandments; and He inscribed them on two tablets of stone. 14 At the same time the Lord commanded me to impart to you laws and rules for you to observe in the land that you are about to cross into and occupy.
15 For your own sake, therefore, be most careful — since you saw no shape when the Lord your God spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire — 16 not to act wickedly and make for yourselves a sculptured image in any likeness whatever: the form of a man or a woman,17 the form of any beast on earth, the form of any winged bird that flies in the sky, 18 the form of anything that creeps on the ground, the form of any fish that is in the waters below the earth. 19 And when you look up to the sky and behold the sun and the moon and the stars, the whole heavenly host, you must not be lured into bowing down to them or serving them. These the Lord your God allotted to other peoples everywhere under heaven; 20 but you the Lord took and brought out of Egypt, that iron blast furnace, to be His very own people, as is now the case.
21 Now the Lord was angry with me on your account and swore that I should not cross the Jordan and enter the good land that the Lord your God is assigning you as a heritage. 22 For I must die in this land; I shall not cross the Jordan. But you will cross and take possession of that good land. 23 Take care, then, not to forget the covenant that the Lord your God concluded with you, and not to make for yourselves a sculptured image in any likeness, against which the Lord your God has enjoined you. 24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, an impassioned God.
25 When you have begotten children and children’s children and are long established in the land, should you act wickedly and make for yourselves a sculptured image in any likeness, causing the Lord your God displeasure and vexation, 26 I call heaven and earth this day to witness against you that you shall soon perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess; you shall not long endure in it, but shall be utterly wiped out. 27 The Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and only a scant few of you shall be left among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. 28 There you will serve man-made gods of wood and stone, that cannot see or hear or eat or smell.
29 But if you search there for the Lord your God, you will find Him, if only you seek Him with all your heart and soul — 30 when you are in distress because all these things have befallen you and, in the end, return to the Lord your God and obey Him. 31 For the Lord your God is a compassionate God: He will not fail you nor will He let you perish; He will not forget the covenant which He made on oath with your fathers.
32 You have but to inquire about bygone ages that came before you, ever since God created man on earth, from one end of heaven to the other: has anything as grand as this ever happened, or has its like ever been known? 33 Has any people heard the voice of a god speaking out of a fire, as you have, and survived? 34 Or has any god ventured to go and take for himself one nation from the midst of another by prodigious acts, by signs and portents, by war, by a mighty and an outstretched arm and awesome power, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes? 35 It has been clearly demonstrated to you that the Lord alone is God; there is none beside Him. 36 From the heavens He let you hear His voice to discipline you; on earth He let you see His great fire; and from amidst that fire you heard His words. 37 And because He loved your fathers, He chose their heirs after them; He Himself, in His great might, led you out of Egypt, 38 to drive from your path nations greater and more populous than you, to take you into their land and assign it to you as a heritage, as is still the case. 39 Know therefore this day and keep in mind that the Lord alone is God in heaven above and on earth below; there is no other. 40 Observe His laws and commandments, which I enjoin upon you this day, that it may go well with you and your children after you, and that you may long remain in the land that the Lord your God is assigning to you for all time.
41 Then Moses set aside three cities on the east side of the Jordan 42 to which a manslayer could escape, one who unwittingly slew a fellow man without having been hostile to him in the past; he could flee to one of these cities and live: 43 Bezer, in the wilderness in the Tableland, belonging to the Reubenites; Ramoth, in Gilead, belonging to the Gadites; and Golan, in Bashan, belonging to the Manassites.
44 This is the Teaching that Moses set before the Israelites: 45 these are the decrees, laws, and rules that Moses addressed to the people of Israel, after they had left Egypt, 46 beyond the Jordan, in the valley at Beth-peor, in the land of King Sihon of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, whom Moses and the Israelites defeated after they had left Egypt. 47 They had taken possession of his country and that of King Og of Bashan — the two kings of the Amorites — which were on the east side of the Jordan 48 from Aroer on the banks of the wadi Arnon, as far as Mount Sion, that is, Hermon; 49 also the whole Arabah on the east side of the Jordan, as far as the Sea of the Arabah, at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah.
1 Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them: Hear, O Israel, the laws and rules that I proclaim to you this day! Study them and observe them faithfully!
2 The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. 3 It was not with our fathers that the Lord made this covenant, but with us, the living, every one of us who is here today. 4 Face to face the Lord spoke to you on the mountain out of the fire — 5 I stood between the Lord and you at that time to convey the Lord’s words to you, for you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain — saying:
6 I the Lord am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage: 7 You shall have no other gods beside Me.
8 You shall not make for yourself a sculptured image, any likeness of what is in the heavens above, or on the earth below, or in the waters below the earth. 9 You shall not bow down to them or serve them. For I the Lord your God am an impassioned God, visiting the guilt of the parents upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generations of those who reject Me, 10 but showing kindness to the thousandth generation of those who love Me and keep My commandments.
11 You shall not swear falsely by the name of the Lord your God; for the Lord will not clear one who swears falsely by His name.
12 Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; you shall not do any work — you, your son or your daughter, your male or female slave, your ox or your ass, or any of your cattle, or the stranger in your settlements, so that your male and female slave may rest as you do. 15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt and the Lord your God freed you from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the sabbath day.
16 Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may long endure, and that you may fare well, in the land that the Lord your God is assigning to you.
17 You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
18 You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not crave your neighbor’s house, or his field, or his male or female slave, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor’s.
19 The Lord spoke those words — those and no more — to your whole congregation at the mountain, with a mighty voice out of the fire and the dense clouds. He inscribed them on two tablets of stone, which He gave to me. 20 When you heard the voice out of the darkness, while the mountain was ablaze with fire, you came up to me, all your tribal heads and elders, 21 and said, “The Lord our God has just shown us His majestic Presence, and we have heard His voice out of the fire; we have seen this day that man may live though God has spoken to him. 22 Let us not die, then, for this fearsome fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the Lord our God any longer, we shall die. 23 For what mortal ever heard the voice of the living God speak out of the fire, as we did, and lived? 24 You go closer and hear all that the Lord our God says, and then you tell us everything that the Lord our God tells you, and we will willingly do it.”
25 The Lord heard the plea that you made to me, and the Lord said to me, “I have heard the plea that this people made to you; they did well to speak thus. 26 May they always be of such mind, to revere Me and follow all My commandments, that it may go well with them and with their children forever! 27 Go, say to them, ‘Return to your tents.’ 28 But you remain here with Me, and I will give you the whole Instruction — the laws and the rules — that you shall impart to them, for them to observe in the land that I am giving them to possess.”
29 Be careful, then, to do as the Lord your God has commanded you. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left: 30 follow only the path that the Lord your God has enjoined upon you, so that you may thrive and that it may go well with you, and that you may long endure in the land you are to possess.
1 And this is the Instruction — the laws and the rules — that the Lord your God has commanded [me] to impart to you, to be observed in the land that you are about to cross into and occupy, 2 so that you, your children, and your children’s children may revere the Lord your God and follow, as long as you live, all His laws and commandments that I enjoin upon you, to the end that you may long endure. 3 Obey, O Israel, willingly and faithfully, that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly [in] a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, spoke to you.
4 Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 Take to heart these instructions with which I charge you this day. 7 Impress them upon your children. Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead; 9 inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
10 When the Lord your God brings you into the land that He swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to assign to you — great and flourishing cities that you did not build, 11 houses full of all good things that you did not fill, hewn cisterns that you did not hew, vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant — and you eat your fill, 12 take heed that you do not forget the Lord who freed you from the land of Egypt, the house of bondage. 13 Revere only the Lord your God and worship Him alone, and swear only by His name. 14 Do not follow other gods, any gods of the peoples about you 15 — for the Lord your God in your midst is an impassioned God — lest the anger of the Lord your God blaze forth against you and He wipe you off the face of the earth.
16 Do not try the Lord your God, as you did at Massah. 17 Be sure to keep the commandments, decrees, and laws that the Lord your God has enjoined upon you. 18 Do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may go well with you and that you may be able to possess the good land that the Lord your God promised on oath to your fathers, 19 and that all your enemies may be driven out before you, as the Lord has spoken.
20 When, in time to come, your children ask you, “What mean the decrees, laws, and rules that the Lord our God has enjoined upon you?” 21 you shall say to your children, “We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt and the Lord freed us from Egypt with a mighty hand. 22The Lord wrought before our eyes marvelous and destructive signs and portents in Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his household; 23 and us He freed from there, that He might take us and give us the land that He had promised on oath to our fathers. 24 Then the Lord commanded us to observe all these laws, to revere the Lord our God, for our lasting good and for our survival, as is now the case. 25 It will be therefore to our merit before the Lord our God to observe faithfully this whole Instruction, as He has commanded us.”
1 When the Lord your God brings you to the land that you are about to enter and possess, and He dislodges many nations before you — the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations much larger than you — 2 and the Lord your God delivers them to you and you defeat them, you must doom them to destruction: grant them no terms and give them no quarter. 3 You shall not intermarry with them: do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. 4 For they will turn your children away from Me to worship other gods, and the Lord’s anger will blaze forth against you and He will promptly wipe you out. 5 Instead, this is what you shall do to them: you shall tear down their altars, smash their pillars, cut down their sacred posts, and consign their images to the fire.
6 For you are a people consecrated to the Lord your God: of all the peoples on earth the Lord your God chose you to be His treasured people. 7 It is not because you are the most numerous of peoples that the Lord set His heart on you and chose you — indeed, you are the smallest of peoples; 8 but it was because the Lord favored you and kept the oath He made to your fathers that the Lord freed you with a mighty hand and rescued you from the house of bondage, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Know, therefore, that only the Lord your God is God, the steadfast God who keeps His covenant faithfully to the thousandth generation of those who love Him and keep His commandments, 10 but who instantly requites with destruction those who reject Him — never slow with those who reject Him, but requiting them instantly. 11 Therefore, observe faithfully the Instruction — the laws and the rules — with which I charge you today.

Today’s Business Times, Singapore (page requires subscription) carries an interesting story that companies in India are taking out kidnapping insurance for their top employees located in high-growth hubs such as Hyderabad, Bangalore and Delhi suburbs Gurgaon and Noida. As for the nature of the policies taken, the newspaper reports:
“The kidnapping-terror policies cover ransom, hiring charges of negotiators and trauma counselling. The insured amounts can range from US$1 million to US$5 million, with premiums typically 1-3 per cent. In the US, such premiums gross over US$300 million.”
This comes in the wake of several kidnappings (high-profile or otherwise) in the recent past that have targeted top-level corporate executives and their families.


Recently, Honda has provided a teaser for the next-generation CR-V. This new one is set to replace the fifth-generation model, which has been around since 2016.
The front and the rear of the upcoming 2023 Honda HR-V
The teaser shows a portion of the upcoming CR-V’s front and the rear ends. The model that was shown though is the CR-V Hybrid trim for the United States, and so the one that’s coming here to the local market is expected to have some variances. Then again, we are sure that this 2023 Honda CR-V shown on the teaser will still underpin the future Philippine-spec model.
Up front, the 2023 CR-V gets enhanced styling courtesy of a wider, more squared-off grille, a pair of sharper headlamps, and a new trapezoid-shaped lower air intake. There are still bits of chrome on the front end of the vehicle, though it certainly looks more subdued compared to the current Honda CR-V.
Details for the sides of the upcoming, next-gen CR-V though are pretty scarce. But from the rear, we can say that the new one appears much wider thanks to its more pronounced fender flares.
The rear end also gets a new LED taillight design which comes as a series of L-shaped individual pieces of lighting. The largest one is of course found on the corners, where it wraps around the curvature of the new CR-V.
A closer look at the 2023 Honda CR-V's taillights and model badge
Down below, the new CR-V also gets a new lower rear bumper. It also has this squarish chrome trimmed faux exhaust tip which mirrors the trim piece found in front of the crossover. The real exhaust pipe might be hidden further below/under the vehicle, though.
As for interior features, engine specifications, and other relevant information about the 2023 Honda CR-V, the teaser says that more details will be released in summer. That’s around June this year, at the earliest.
So, if you’re excited for the all-new 2023 Honda CR-V and want to learn more about it, stay posted here on Philkotse.
