A healthy diet and regular physical activity are essential for maintaining optimal health, including proper blood sugar control. High blood sugar levels, also known as hyperglycemia, can lead to a number of serious health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. By following a healthy diet and engaging in regular physical activity, individuals can reduce their risk of developing these conditions and improve their overall well-being.
Benefits Of A Healthy Diet
One of the most important benefits of a healthy diet is its ability to regulate blood sugar levels. A diet that is high in processed foods, sugary drinks, and saturated fats can cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels, which can lead to insulin resistance and an increased risk of developing diabetes. On the other hand, a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can help to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of developing diabetes.
Eating a diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables is especially beneficial for blood sugar control. These foods are high in fiber, which helps to slow down the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream. They are also low in calories, which helps to prevent weight gain, a risk factor for diabetes. Additionally, fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants and other nutrients that help to improve overall health. People who struggle to get the nutrition they need each day may wish to look into supplements; this article here goes into detail about multivitamins for men, if this is something you are interested in learning more about.
Benefits Of Physical Activity
Physical activity is also essential for maintaining optimal blood sugar control. Regular exercise helps to improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake in muscle cells, which can help to regulate blood sugar levels. Exercise also helps to promote weight loss, another key factor in reducing the risk of diabetes.
Regular physical activity also has a number of other health benefits. It can help to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer. It can also help to improve mood, reduce stress, and promote better sleep. Additionally, regular physical activity can help to improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia.
To achieve optimal health, it is important to engage in both moderate-intensity and high-intensity physical activity. Moderate-intensity physical activity, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, can be done for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. High-intensity physical activity, such as running or weightlifting, should be done for at least 20 minutes, 2-3 times a week.
When it comes to a healthy diet and regular physical activity, it is important to remember that these habits are best developed gradually over time. Suddenly making drastic changes to your diet or exercise routine can be overwhelming and difficult to maintain. It is important to start small, making one or two small changes at a time, and gradually building up to more significant changes.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood, which can lead to serious health complications if left unmanaged. Diet and exercise play a critical role in managing diabetes and preventing the development of long-term complications.
Diet plays a crucial role in managing diabetes because it directly affects blood sugar levels. People with diabetes need to follow a diet that is low in sugar and simple carbohydrates, and high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. This can be accomplished by eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
One of the most important aspects of a diabetic diet is to avoid processed and sugary foods. These foods are high in simple carbohydrates and can quickly spike blood sugar levels. Instead, people with diabetes should focus on eating whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, which are slowly digested and provide steady energy throughout the day. Additionally, it is important to consume adequate amounts of protein and healthy fats. These nutrients help to slow down digestion, keeping blood sugar levels stable and reducing the risk of complications.
The best type of exercise for people with diabetes is one that gets the heart rate up and burns calories. This includes activities such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, and dancing. Resistance training, such as weight lifting, can also be beneficial as it helps to build muscle mass and increase insulin sensitivity.
It is important to note that people with diabetes should always consult with their healthcare provider before starting an exercise program. They may need to adjust their medications and monitor their blood sugar levels more closely during and after exercise to ensure that they are safe.
Another important aspect of diabetes management is regular monitoring of blood sugar levels. People with diabetes should check their blood sugar levels before and after meals, and at bedtime. This helps to identify any patterns or fluctuations in blood sugar levels, which can be used to adjust the diet and exercise plan as needed.
Januvia (sitagliptin) is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. Januvia works by increasing the levels of natural incretin hormones in the body, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels. It is typically taken once a day, with or without food. The generic Januvia price will vary depending on the dosage and quantity prescribed by a healthcare provider. On average, the cost of 30 tablets of the generic form of Januvia (sitagliptin) at a dosage of 100mg can range from $10 to $40. It is important to note that prices may vary depending on location and insurance coverage. It is always best to check with your local pharmacy for the most accurate pricing information.
In conclusion, a healthy diet and regular physical activity are essential for maintaining optimal health, including proper blood sugar control. By following a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, and engaging in regular physical activity, individuals can reduce their risk of developing diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Additionally, regular physical activity can help to promote weight loss, improve mood, reduce stress, and promote better sleep. Developing a healthy diet and regular physical activity habits is essential and can be done gradually over time. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new dietary or physical activity program.

What Happens If You Don’t Fast Before a Physical Exam?
Patients who do not fast before a physical exam, according to Weill Cornell Medical College, may see artificial increases in cholesterol levels that can result in a skewed and inaccurate blood test. More often than not, patients who did not fast before their appointment are asked to reschedule and follow the fasting instructions.
Patients who are having blood tests, such as cholesterol, glucose and stool tests, are often asked to fast for at least 12 hours depending on their exam. Each patient may have to fast for a different amount of time. Some patients may not have to fast before their physicals at all. However, it is very important to drink water during this fasting period, according to One Medical. Phlebotomists may have an easier time finding fuller, bigger veins from which to draw the patient’s blood.
Chewing gum, smoking, drinking juice, coffee, or tea, are also expressly forbidden from most fasting instructions. However, recent research suggests fasting may not be necessary for cholesterol tests. WebMD describes a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine that “suggests that people may not need to fast before they get a cholesterol test.” Patients should check with their physicians before their scheduled testing appointment to determine whether they are required to fast before their physical and how long they must fast.

Corky McMillan remembers:
Heartbreak at Love Valley: It was Sacred Irony's big chance to break out of the Winston Salem music scene to a regional or national audience. As one of the most popular local bands at the time and one of the only bands playing their own material, it seemed like the logical next step. A top spot at the Love Valley Music festival was our big chance for exposure to a larger audience. Who knows, maybe even national recognition, as had occurred for an unknown band called Grand Funk Railroad after the Atlanta pop festival? Filled with anticipation, the band trekked to Love Valley and waited their turn at the big stage, while major acts played one after another. Finally, during the evening of the main night, their turn arrived, and they started setting up. But there was problem. The Allman Brothers wanted to play a second time and, as one of the main acts, had the power to take their slot. Sacred Irony were instead offered a slot playing at a party for the workers. How degrading. The band never really got over the slight and broke up some time later. We are left to wonder what may have happened if this chance at the big time had taken place. Who knows? Record deals? New management?

The debate on whether or not to “become a data-driven company” is over. Today, businesses are fully invested in the importance of business intelligence (BI). According to a recent , more than 80 percent of businesses use analytics in their decision making processes, and 96 percent believe that analytics will become even more important to their organizations over the next three years.
Ultimately, it has become abundantly clear that in order to achieve success today, businesses must approach every decision by analyzing relevant data and considering the insights derived from that data to be the primary driver of the company’s direction. Drawing insights about target audience and buying behavior is imperative.
The historic hitch, however, is that data analytics software, hardware and human resources have been costly enough to limit their insights to the domain of enterprise-level solution providers and their well-compensated data scientists. Further complicating matters is the shortage (and therefore exorbitant price point) of qualified labor in this area. “Data scientists aren’t quite unicorns, but they’re close,” is how , a business intelligence and analytics evangelist at Dell Software, frames the problem.
In recent years, however, the proverbial BI party has become increasingly crashed. The global demand to become data-driven, coupled with the prohibitive investment of adopting this requirement, has fostered the emergence of a of data analytics solution providers, whose simplified, economical tools can make everyone a data scientist.
Making Data Analysis Accessible and Affordable
In order to level the playing field, SMBs are demanding equal access to sophisticated data analytics. They want interactive, intuitive, economical, user-friendly tools. The bottom line is that SMBs are requiring that BI be simplified enough so that their own C-suite can interpret the raw data and draw business-directed conclusions without requiring the additional investment of a dedicated data scientist.
New, uncomplicated BI platforms are empowering SMBs to apply decision trees to their data to detect fraud or spam, optimize content for page ranking, and analyze customer feedback and social media data to improve reach. Empowering inexperienced or non-technical users to sift through large amounts of data and draw action-oriented conclusions is groundbreaking.
, one of the premier self-service BI tools, is able to process large batches of data in minutes, generating visual analytics within a user-friendly dashboard that can be used on anyone’s laptop without expensive infrastructure or the requirement to integrate additional software.
Other new generation BI tools, such as and , offer similarly straightforward deployment with secure, governed access to enterprise data. All the figures are centralized, auditable and require zero BI experience to manipulate, effectively positioning everyone at an SMB as a power analyst.
“Companies need to break down the notion that Big Data is only for the technically advanced or executive team, and bring Big Data, business intelligence, and analytics to 100 percent of its workforce,” Guy Levy-Yurista, Sisense’s head of product, . “In the digital age, organizations will only become more data-driven and data fluency should be as accessible and as common nature as reading and writing.”
Additional Advantages of Self-Service BI Tools
In order to remain competitive, this new generation of self-service BI tools has had to address the gap between traditional and self-service BI tools.
Another critical advantage for self-service tools over their traditional counterparts is the ability to access data and analytics by mobile device. Considering that the average user spends the equivalent of year on his or her phone, the ability to crunch numbers on the fly, without the need for specialized hardware or cumbersome remote access tech, is imperative.
Image source: https://www.sisense.com/
The most significant advantage of a self-service BI tool, however, is not tactical but rather strategic. Since traditional BI tools are out-of-reach for SMBs, whereas self-service tools are easily affordable and deployable, positioning their accessibility as ideal, self-service BI tools ultimately shift an SMBs corporate culture from reactive to proactive.
Bringing BI to the forefront of decision-making, and relying on perpetually current data, ultimately allows businesses to increase market share by identifying underserved territories, discovering new product placement opportunities or expanding into entirely different distribution channels.
BI, Meet AI
One of the most innovative pieces of the new BI tools is that they’ve established a new way to consume and interact with business insights through Artificial Intelligence.
Sisense is pushing the envelope on this with its new , which allows users to interact with their analytics data inside their existing messaging platforms, including Slack, Skype or Facebook Messenger. In turn, this possibility ultimately lays the foundation for archived message-based conversations to form an informal office knowledge library. Since so many organizations today communicate primarily via message, rather than via email or in meetings, it’s important to document this knowledge base.
Looking Toward the Future
Truly, BI solutions can be beneficial to businesses all across the board. Even can benefit from self-service BI; utilizing a BI’s predictive analysis tool to adjust their products to meet market demand can spell the difference between staying afloat and buckling in the year ahead.
All businesses today should be relying heavily on data to thrive. The democratization of data analytics is promising for SMBs ready to take advantage of it, and a dire warning for those who aren’t. As BI solutions become increasingly accessible in a competitive economy, the question becomes not what business can do with it, but whether businesses can survive without it.

text: This chapter explores the developmental dyscalculias. Some of the interest in developmental dyscalculia has arisen because of the arithmetical problems sometimes seen in developmental dyslexia and the literature is skewed towards studies of children in whom the conditions co-occur. The nature of the mechanisms that children must acquire for arithmetic computation and their representation in the brain has been discussed in relation to classical neuropsychological studies of acquired dyscalculia. The potential dissociations of arithmetical skill from both intelligence and reading level were emphasised by the existence of a proportion of children with specific reading difficulties for whom arithmetical skills were developing well. The basis of arithmetical competence must begin before the child starts at school. Recent cognitive neuropsychological analyses of the acquired dyscalculias have distinguished between disorders of number processing, number facts, and procedural knowledge. The number processing system comprises the mechanisms for perceiving, comprehending, and producing numbers.

Little Fires Everywhere, Celeste Ng. New York: Penguin Press, 2017.
Summary: When Mia Warren and her daughter Pearl rent a duplex apartment from Elena Richardson, the matriarch of a successful Shaker Heights, Ohio family, it sets in motion a series of events, “little fires” that culminate in a fire that burns down the Richardson home, and transforms the lives of both families.
Elena Richardson, matriarch of a seemingly perfect and successful family in Shaker Heights, Ohio, sleeps in one Saturday to awaken to a house on fire–little fires started in the center of each of the beds in the house. Elena, the keeper of rules in a community of rules watches the house burn down as her “perfect” children and husband gather–all except Izzy, who always pushed against the rules and is no where to be found. It is Izzy who set the fires, and has fled. How did all this happen?
The little fires begin when Mia Warren and her high school daughter Pearl rent a duplex apartment Elena owns. The two of them have lived a gypsy life, living only long enough in any one community for Mia to compose a series of photographs, the sales of which, along with odd jobs provide enough for them to live on, before they pack what fits into their VW Rabbit and move on. But this time they hope to stay.
Little fires. Elena’s son Moody is curious and meets Pearl and instantly falls in love and draws Pearl into the affluent life of the family with older brother Trip, and sisters Lexie and Izzy.
Little fires. Elena visits the duplex and sees Mia’s art–photographs altered or with other objects superimposed that she sends to a New York dealer. Hearing Mia works at a Chinese restaurant to make ends meet, she invites Mia to clean and cook in exchange for the rent in what seems a noble gesture of supporting the arts.
Little fires. Izzy is suspended for standing up to a bullying music teacher, and opens up to Mia, who asks, “what are you going to do?” opening up possibilities Izzy has never thought of before. Izzy begins assisting Mia in her work.
Little fires. Lexie and Izzy see a photograph of a younger Mia holding an infant (Pearl) in the Cleveland Museum of Art by a famous New York photographer, Pauline Hawthorne. They talk Mrs. Richardson, who is a reporter for a local newspaper, to investigate the back story. In the process, she uncovers secrets Mia has kept even from her own daughter.
Little fires. Mia figures out that the Asian-American baby who is a ward of the state that the McCullough’s, close and childless friends of the Richardsons, want to adopt, is the baby her co-worker at the Chinese restaurant, Bebe, left at a fire station when she had been abandoned and in post-partum despair. Mia lets this information slip, leading to a custody case that is all over the press, and that divides the community, and fires Elena’s resentment of Mia, who seems to represent everything Elena is not, and perhaps turned away from for her successful, rule-abiding existence.
Little fires. Pearl and Trip become involved, as much at Pearl’s initiative as Trip’s, destroying Moody’s friendship with Pearl. Pearl helps Lexie get an abortion, even letting Lexie substitute Pearl’s name on the patient record, and then brings Lexie home to be cared for by Mia afterwards.
Little fires that in the end lead to the setting of little fires that burn down the house. At one point Mia talks with Izzy about how, like prairie fires, “you need to scorch everything to the ground and start over.” The fire that destroys brings new life to the prairie. The question is, will it do the same for all the people caught up in these little fires? What will Mia do about the secrets of her past that have been uncovered? And what will Elena do, seeing the destruction of her perfect life by her wayward daughter?
I was drawn to this book because the author grew up in and writes about Shaker Heights. We lived for nine years in its poorer, blue collar neighbor down the road, Maple Heights. I knew many of the places about which she wrote, ate at some of the restaurants, shopped at Shaker Square and occasionally at Heinen’s, and admired the ambiance we couldn’t touch. We knew about some of the rules. Her portrait of this earliest of model suburbs rang true.
As I read, I was drawn into this book with its interesting portrayal of people trying to do good, to keep the rules, to find and make homes and do good work, to make their way in life, and the catalytic moments when it all goes awry. I once had a friend who observed that the American dream is killing us. This book suggests how our suburban dreams may kill us, how the ideal life of successful spouses, kids in good schools groomed for Ivy League admissions, and how a life of following the rules, a life both socially conscious and socially tone deaf may destroy something of what makes us and others unique.

Land Use & Zoning
This ordinance regulates land use and development within the City of Trotwood. Zoning regulations protect property values by ensuring that the new development is compatible with the surrounding community and that it maintains the character of established neighborhoods. Every application for a building permit is reviewed to make sure it complies with the City’s zoning ordinance. The city has 18 different zoning district classifications. Each has regulations controlling the amount of property required for building, building size and location of the lot, off-street parking, signs and other environmental, health and safety standards. These regulations also govern the screening of commercial property and other neighborhood concerns for new construction.
The City of Trotwood’s Planning and Development Department is responsible for the oversight, management and operation of all the city’s planning, zoning, and economic development services. The department’s overall goal is to foster ongoing business and residential development, maintain and further develop the community’s housing stock and provide developers professional planning and zoning services.

Cardi B finished in a hospital because she experienced severe stomach pains that lasted for days. The rapper posted this news on social media, but she deleted the post after few moments – according to the Daily Mail.
In the post, the 27-years-old rapper announced that she had to be hospitalized, as she felt the stomach pains for four days.
On Wednesday, the singer shared a photo that was taken in the ER, and on her hand, she had a hospital band.
“Honestly, cause I been having some real bad stomach problems for four days, I went to the ER last night” – wrote the popular rapper and put a crying emoji.
Cardi B also added that she feels better, and she is hoping that the pain will disappear until tomorrow. She didn’t write anything else iso rumors started that the rapper is positive on the Coronavirus.
However, it seems like the singer feels way better as she posted a new photo this morning. Alongside the post, the rapper wrote a meme of Donald Duck.
“When you’re hungry, but all the food in the house needs to be cooked.” – wrote the rapper.

truth, games, neoliberal, naturalizing, neoliberalism, city, architecture
This thesis analyzes Neoliberalism, and architecture as its active agent, not only in constructing space, but constructing subjectivity within that space. If Neoliberalism exists in two forms, policy and ideology, I contend that architecture serves as a mediator between these forms: shaped by policy and naturalizing ideology. Truth Games – constructed “truths” which embed themselves in common knowledge and practice – allow the city to appear as banal and incidental, maybe even nice. However, the urban environment is a powerful weapon. The Truth Games embedded in architecture legitimate forms of power that operate on and through the constitution of the self (as per Foucault). This thesis operates upon the hypothesis that the city can be read, delaminated, unmasked, in order to script its Truth Games and therein begin to subvert them. The array of Neoliberal policies manifest particular environments which aggressively naturalize Neoliberal subjectivity. I collect these spaces under the term, Capital Imaginaries, as they take on a utopian image of the city according to the market. It is within these islands of raw and exaggerated capital that Truth Games, typically obscured, sit in the foreground and begin to expose themselves. The objective of this thesis is to examine these spaces in order to unmask their Truth Games and lay bare the production of subjectivity, re presenting the city without its veil. The Capital Imaginaries of Kop van Zuid (Rotterdam), Canary Wharf (London), and Hudson Yards (New York) become the subjects of this examination, each revealing one aspect of the market’s ideal subject. The thesis works to uncover their truths hidden in plain sight, through the mechanisms of timelines, voyeuristic films, financial diagramming, and mappings of subjectivity. This unmasking of the city lead me back to the 1970s ideas of radical architecture: Superstudio, Archizoom, and OMA. I took ‘the manifesto’ as an operation, and revised Archizoom’s – by extension revising the images they use to explore their ideas and reediting them in relation to my three subjects. These ideas are collected in a digital exhibition, providing multiple paths that take one through layers of information on the same issue. This website architecture is akin to the layering and unmasking that the project aims to do, and constructs a truth within itself. The exhibition and the manifesto are a call to see. To criticize. To reexamine the banal. The city is not incidental. It is deliberately constructed.

Veendam Cruise Review by bbretzi: Around the Horn
Overall Member Rating
Around the Horn
Destination: South America
After a week in Peru visiting Machu Picchu we flew to Santiago and took the local bus (which is easy and inexpensive) to the port. We had cruised with HAL before on a Panama Canal trip, so even on a different ship, we felt comfortable. We had an inside stateroom, but on the Navigation Deck, it felt like more. We do not spend much time in the cabin, so we prefer to put the money elsewhere. Our steward was excellent, and we had no plumbing or AC issues that some report on this ship.
We were very fortunate to have mostly smooth sailing, even around the cape, as it is known for rough seas at times. The smaller ports were nothing special, but the cities made up for them. Our only hitch was an eight hour delay leaving Buenos Aires due to some dispute with the authorities, we were told. Some passengers lost their flights, but we left the next day, and only had to give up some tour time in Rio. We arranged all of our tours independently, and they were fine. We never heard More anyone on the ship tours say they liked them or felt they were a good value.
We tend to avoid the crowds in the Buffet and eat all meals in the dining room or Pinnacle Grill. Food and service are much better in the latter and worth the extra cost. We were on anytime dining, and never had to wait for a table. I felt the food was above average, most of the time, but it got to be somewhat bland the last few days, possible because we were tired and ready to go home.
Entertainment was mixed. The Halcats were great, as were many of the solo performers, like the guitarist. We found that with the production shows, the female singers, and the dancers were fine, but only one male singer was quite good, but the others would make a quick exit on American Idol.
Holland America is great for a cost conscious way to travel with consistent accommodations and food. We cruised on Oceania last year, and food and service are definitely superior, but may not be worth the extra expense. Less

I like quiche because you can serve it any time of day. It’s very likely that you have everything on hand to make it, and you can add almost anything you want to it. Just be sure that whatever vegetables you use are squeezed and drained of their liquid before adding them to the filling or the quiche will be soggy.
The buttery pâte brisée pastry shell that is used here can be prebaked up to a day ahead. Don’t be afraid of baking an already golden brown pie crust for a second time. The difference in flavor from a too-light crust will change your mind on the subject! Once the quiche filling is added, the crust won’t burn; it will simply become a deep, beautifully burnished brown with a delicious toasted flavor.
- Yield: 8 Servings
- 8 ounces wild mushrooms (such as morel, porcini, or
- chanterelle) or button or cremini mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup finely minced shallot
- 1¼ teaspoons salt
- 0.75 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 5 eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 1¼ cups heavy cream
- 0.25 cup finely minced chives
- 1 pâte brisée shell, prebaked
- 2½ ounces cave-aged Gruyère or extra-sharp Cheddar
- cheese, finely grated on a Microplane grater
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Clean the mushrooms (see Notes here and here) and slice into ⅛-inch pieces. Cook the mushrooms in two batches to avoid crowding in the pan. Heat a black steel pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of the butter. When the butter melts, add ¼ cup of the shallot and sweat for 1 to 2 minutes, until just translucent. Add half of the mushrooms and season with ¼ teaspoon of the salt and ⅛ teaspoon of the pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and stir until the mushrooms start to color on their edges and the moisture they release evaporates. Lower the heat to medium and continue to cook and stir until completely soft and beginning to get some golden color, 6 to 7 minutes. In the final 30 to 60 seconds, add the sherry and let it cook out. Set the mushrooms aside on a plate to cool, and repeat with the remaining mushrooms, butter, shallot, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ⅛ teaspoon pepper. When the mushrooms are cool enough to handle, gather them into a kitchen towel or place them in a fine-mesh strainer and squeeze out the liquid. Finely chop the mushrooms and set aside. Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk vigorously until slightly foamy, about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1¼ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper, the nutmeg, milk, cream, and chives and whisk for 15 seconds to combine.
- Place the prebaked quiche shell, in its pan, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the cheese in an even layer on the bottom of the shell. Add the mushrooms in an even layer and press them gently into the crust. Carefully pour in the egg mixture to just below the top of the quiche shell. Put the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and pour the last bit of egg mixture into the shell (so you don’t spill while moving the quiche to the oven).
- Bake until the quiche has puffed slightly and the top is golden brown and set in the middle, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove the quiche from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Use a small, sharp knife to cut any excess crust level with the top of the quiche pan; cut by pushing from the inside out (with the handle of the knife hovering over the filling), so the crumbs fall on the countertop instead of into the quiche.
- Let the quiche rest at room temperature for 2 hours before serving. Carefully remove the outer ring of the quiche pan. Slice the quiche into 8 pieces and serve.

Denture wearers want to know that their dentures are clean and appear natural to family and friends. Daily cleaning and stain removal are essential for fresh breath and a natural smile according to Tiger Smile Family Dentistry dental office in Baton Rouge. However, constant cleaning shortens the life of dentures, but people who do not clean dentures suffer from discomfort or fungal infections. What should denture wearers do?
Many recommend brushing before and after soaking in an effervescent solution.
As with natural teeth, you may brush after every meal.
Ingredients in Denture Cleaners
Ingredients in denture cleaners serve the purpose of removing stains, killing bacteria or helping preserve the life and quality of the dentures.
Since denture cleaners have the task of cleaning, bleaching and freshening, manufacturers use ingredients that may irritate the gums or cause other physical ailments. Since allergies may take years to develop, denture cleaner users should always be aware of the allergy symptoms that may result from using these products. Users should never gargle or swallow denture cleaners. For details about complete and partial dentures in Baton Rouge, you may contact Tiger Smile Family Dentistry today!
Teeth are prone to staining and wear over time. While our teeth aren’t naturally white, there are many advantages to having brighter choppers. It brings a lot of confidence and can make any person’s smile more charismatic. The good news is that zoom teeth whitening is a cosmetic whitening process that we can take advantage […]
Wearing braces is a lot of commitment. You need to have a metal frame that will be always visible when you smile for at least 18 months. Not a lot of people like that idea and forego braces altogether. However, studies have shown that around 70% of people in the US need it. Fortunately, there […]

Langh Tech systems adds water treatment capacity
Langh Tech has launched a new generation of water treatment system upgraded with new membrane technology to increase water cleaning capacity.
The new type of membrane filter element provides a 50% increase in water cleaning capacity compared to the previous elements, without increasing the size of the water treatment units.
This system has been tested onboard Langh Ship’s M/S Marjatta since the first half of 2017 with test results confirming that water cleaning capacity was increased by 50% without compromising any other system parameters.
On the market
Langh Tech said that the first set of second generation systems have already been delivered to a customer.
This second-generation water treatment system is available for both exhaust gas recycling (EGR) and SOx scrubbers and is suitable for sea water, as well as fresh water systems.
The Langh membrane filtration technology was initially developed by Industrial and Ship Cleaning Services Hans Langh, for purifying dirty wash water.
Langh later developed the membrane filtration-based SOx scrubber closed loop water treatment system and installed the first unit onboard a multipurpose vessel in 2013.
Since then, the company has been installed on fifteen vessels, with installations to an additional six vessels currently in the pipeline.
In 2015, Langh Tech tested the water treatment system with EGR scrubber water at the MAN Diesel & Turbo premises in Copenhagen.
The water treatment system has been granted MAN Diesel & Turbo approval which states that the Langh Tech water treatment system technology is applicable for two-stroke EGR.

In this paper a computational heat transfer model for prediction of the temperature distribution within the human eye during laser surgery is presented. The heat transfer within a tissue is described by the classic Pennes bioheat transfer equation. The intraocular temperature distribution is calculated using finite-difference method. Two types of computational domain have been considered: (i) rectangular parallelepiped and (ii) cylindrical. The eye is modeled as a composite layered structure consisting of four different ocular tissues, namely, cornea, aqueous, lens and vitreous. It is assumed that the eye is symmetrical about the pupillary axis. The absorption probability of ocular tissue is modulated based on the Lambert-Beer’s law to reproduce the exponential attenuation of the laser light with depth within a biomaterial. The heat flow is modeled as transient and three-dimensional for rectangular parallelepiped geometry and two-dimensional (axi-symmetric) for the cylindrical geometry. The results indicate that for the insulation condition imposed on the periphery of the eye the model based on rectangular parallelepiped geometry of the eye at no laser power and at the initial temperature of 25°C predicts temperature closer to in-vitro experimental measurements reported in literature whereas the model based on cylindrical geometry predicts higher temperature. The opposite is true (that is, lower temperature is predicted by the model based on cylindrical geometry) for high laser heat flux (2000 W/m2) and higher initial temperature (37°C). This study also presents changes in eye temperature subjected to intermittent laser source used in laser surgery techniques such as PRK and LASIK. A comparison of the results based on three different boundary conditions such as convection (hb = 10 W/m2K), constant temperature (37°C) and insulation on the eye periphery reveals that the model based on insulation condition predicts results closer to that of in-vitro experiment at no laser power and initial temperature of 25°C whereas at a laser power of 200 W/m2 and at the initial temperature of 37°C insulation boundary condition produces highest temperature followed by that produced by convection and constant temperature conditions. The heat transfer is one-dimensional for the insulated eye periphery whereas multi-dimensional heat flow takes place when the circumferential boundary condition is either convective or isothermal.

The least common of Buckingham’s works on the Arab Gulf. James Silk Buckingham worked as a journalist in India publishing the Calcutta Journal in 1818, but it was banned as it criticised the Indian government policy. He travelled through Syria and Iraq.
In this work Buckingham describes the pearl fisheries on the Arabian coast near Bahrein and Qatar, with a discussion on the imperfect mapping of that coast. Kuwait is discussed at some length, as is a diplomatic mission to the ”pirate chief” Hassan Bin Rahma Sheikh of Ras El-Khayma. This description and Buckingham further comments on the military strength of the Sheikh and his allies on the Trucial coast and inland, together with a geographical description of the area, is probably the first such description to have been printed in any language.

Courgettes cuisinées à la provençale -Baked courgettes in Provencal sauce - Cassegrain,375g
Cassegrain is a French canning founded in 1856. Forty-six years after the publication of his discovery Nicolas Appert: canning appertisée, a butcher from Nantes Charles Cassegrain, born in 1831, in 1856 created a canned vegetables in Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire on the outskirts of Nantes. In 1867, the company participated in the universal exhibition in Paris and specializes in the following year in vegetables and meats. The success allows Charles Cassegrain to quickly open three new factories. The company becomes Cassegrain Father and Son in 1898 and Cassegrain and Co in the death of Charles in 1902, when one of his son Leopold Cassegrain takes the lead in partnering with his cousin Maurice Garnier, who will lead only the company until 1911 when Leopold became mayor of Nantes. In 1905, the company refuels the troops at Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War. After World War II, the brothers Peter and Andrew Garnier, undertake to modernize the brand to offer quality products. In 1961, the brand offers a first campaign in color (including Paris Match and Marie Claire) and gets a mascot, a white rabbit in 1970. In the late 80s, this rabbit has a pair of sunglasses and a green bow tie and sometimes a cap on each of his ear. In 1989, the company was sold by Saupiquet group Bonduelle, who took over the mark but Cassegrain production now takes place on the site Flaucourt in Picardy. The plant Cassegrain of Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire still exists, but has been taken over by another food company, less prestigious.

On average, newlyweds often see women that become 3 decades older and guys who will be 33 years old when they get married. This sets Germany in eighth place in the list of European countries your typical age initially relationship. Many studies show that marriage is being ever more popular because of German sites for dating in which lonely minds find a very good complement on their own.
Information from the German Federal Statistical workplace reveal that the full total amount of marriages increasing from 373,655 in 2013 to 416,615 in 2018, accounting for 11.5%. Registered partnerships of same-sex or heterosexual partners is legalized in 2017. Thus, relationships will be the best kind legal union in Germany.
Identification of LGBTQI + marriages can also be growing. Significantly more than 10,000 same-sex lovers need tied the knot since it turned legal back 2017. Remember that prominent German internet dating sites had been in addition able to find legalized. But this instills a feeling of expect partner-seekers.

It all started with Sunday School lithographs that were a bit musty and old-fashioned and of no use to today’s kids. Still, they were beautiful and something in me thought they still had more life in them.
We are shaped by our stories, and just as those lithographs told one set of stories, those same pieces of paper, pieces of art, now tell another story.
And that is the story of saintly women who might be needed today. They are named after strong women in the Bible, and interpreted for this post-modern world that hungers so much for humor, and courage, and resilience, and kindness, and truth.

Geoff: Thanks! Yeah, I've been "part of this community" for a while now, and it's nice to be noticed. Basically we are in the Fourth Great Epoch of Austin Art (unless you count things that happened before the 60s, which are lost to history), also known as the Era of Sketchgroup [Austin Sketch Group/ASG], and I'm proud to be a part of it.
Although there are huge amounts of the Austin scene completely unknown to me, I know a lot of the people who are doing comics in this town. I don't really know why, I just enjoy the company of artists. Artists are the only people who consistently know how to have a good time without breaking everything, and those two things are important to me. Artist parties tend to be filled with interesting people saying interesting things. Last night my artist housemates and I spontaneously did a fan re-enactment of Cloverfield, and we weren't even drunk. I really like that.
Matt: How did you get involved in the Austin scene?
Geoff: I was invited to an early meeting of Sketchgroup by a crazy man. Then I didn't leave, for eight years straight. I picked the right spot to stand and watch the scene coalesce.
Matt: Has ASG helped and/or challenged you to improve and expand your art?
Geoff: Oh, it revolutionized my art. It's totally fair to say that Sketchgroup made me the artist that I was...about four years ago, which made me the artist that I am today....? I guess?
But yes, at the beginning Sketchgroup and the Austin scene were completely inspirational. At this point I think I have enough momentum to keep going on my own, and I don't think criticism is quite as essential to me now that I've trained my eye to see when I do something that doesn't look good. These days I'm usually a lot more concerned with the next drawing than the last, so the role of criticism and inspiration is not as great as it used to be. I guess it helps that I'm married to my best collaborator and critic, that probably has something to do with it.
Sketchgroup is still as important to me as it ever was, but my wife and my child are the most important things have ever been to me in my life, so Sketchgroup has been knocked down a peg. Fortunately Sketchgroup requires no effort at all. It just keeps sketchin'.
Matt: How do you see the community developing in the future and what is the role of Rocksalt?
Geoff: For quite a while after the Scanner Darkly thing ASG was a pretty hard core of comic book aficionados who worked together on all their projects. That's where Sequentulär and a bunch of other projects come from. We went through a long period where there was somebody, usually somebody who hadn't been coming to meetings for a while, who wanted to "revitalize Sketchgroup." Then they stopped trying to do that, and suddenly ASG exploded. It was around the same time Rocksalt started, so there was probably a relationship, but I really think it was just mysterious cultural movements that were too deep to perceive. All of a sudden the average Sketchgroup meeting was bigger than a big Sketchgroup meeting used to be, and when we have one of those odd days where everyone shows up at once we literally crowd all the other customers out of the coffee shop.
Now there are so many projects coming out of ASG that I can't keep track. There are comics, video games, novels, new publishing ventures, paintings, youtube videos, sculptures... basically anything that you can make, somebody in Sketchgroup is busy making.
I have no idea where it's going from here, and it's not really that important where it goes. The core concept of what ASG is has become essentially indestructible, and even if we all left town tomorrow there would probably still be a Sketchgroup. I consider that an achievement on all of our parts. The reason it's indestructible is because it doesn't do anything. There are no dues, no rules, no rites of initiation. We all agreed to keep it simple, and that will probably let it live forever. ASG doesn't exist to accomplish great things, but to provide a central base from which great things can be done. It's perfectly accurate to call Rocksalt an ASG project, since the majority of talent in the magazine are culled from ASG, but there's a whole lot of ASG that has nothing to do with Rocksalt.
Rocksalt, if we can ever figure out how to plug the advertising monies into it, will hopefully also last forever. There is no reason not to why it wouldn't. Jeanne Thornton and I are essentially printing out the internet. Of all the tasks associated with running the magazine, filling the issue with art is by far the easiest. We will probably always remain close to our home in ASG, but once we get it going we will "salt" some other cities too. Even when we have distribution in thirty cities and twenty nations and our own diamond-plated newspaper boxes Rocksalt will remain a showcase for the best cartoon work in Austin, because we live here. Probably gonna keep living here. This will probably have some sort of synergistic effect because, hey, Rocksalt is good publicity. But we are the little remora feeding off the big sharks of Austin and the internet, and that shouldn't change.
Matt: One of the first books I picked up at an Austin comic con was the first volume Cloudhopper. This may say more about me but I can't think of any comic books even remotely similar in tone or content as Cloudhopper and work found on your web page megaTexas. Are there comics that inspire the stories you tell and how you tell them?
Geoff: Hmm...Keith Giffen, Moebius, Dave Mazzucchelli, George Herriman....I find it easy to conceal my influences because there are so many of them and I steal so liberally from all of them. When it comes to storytelling and composition, I was raised in the Marvel House Style. I think a lot about composition. Giffen is the master of composition and storytelling. Modern comics storytelling owes him a huge debt. Chris Ware was to the 90s what Giffen was to the 80s, but it's probably even harder to see when I'm ripping him off because I don't draw like he does at all. I'm just not careful enough to draw like that.I think the reason most people can't detect who I'm stealing from is my odd approach to figure drawing. I take a lot of life drawing classes, so I don't stylize my characters in a comic book way. Characters are drawn according to figure drawing proportions (not heroic anatomy proportions) and rendered to the best of my abilities, which is pretty scary if you look at some of the crappy figures I've drawn.Right now I'm reading BPRD, Prophet (postapocalyptic as it should be; terminally weird), the Unwritten, an old Tezuka GN called Ayako, and catching up on Secret Six.
Matt: Are there any strong influences from film or literature in your work?
Geoff: I read a lot, watch a lot of movies, read a lot of comic books. I've never really been into video games, I use the time most people use on games to consume massive chunks of static media. I'm not saying it's better because obviously it isn't. I'd have a hard time arguing that watching a movie is a more participative act than playing a game.
I was really into the ideas of Stanley Kubrick, and how his innovations in set design have really come to dominate the film world. But I don't really enjoy his movies as much as his ideas. His movies are sort of mean and boring, except Eyes Wide Shut, which is a fairy tale about mean and boring people. But I do like his way of hiding things in plain sight. I love the Sopranos, the way they tie symbolism so closely to the narrative. I love the dialogue of Mamet and Stoppard. I think Wes Anderson has come closest to creating a purely filmic language that simply could not exist in any other medium. I've seriously come to believe that Paul Verhoeven is the greatest satirist of film history and that Showgirls is an underappreciated masterwork the equal of Starship Troopers or Robocop (but not Total Recall, the greatest Philip K Dick film of all time). Right now I'm really into old Disney movies, believe it or not, though I watch them with the sound off (Pinocchio is a gorgeous film but the old Disney orchestra is so obtrusive and cloying) and anything in French.
I love Thomas Pynchon. I like the multiplicity of inputs and the "everything goes" narrative style and the abstruse humor. I am really into Crowley's Little, Big and Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being and books with unhappy endings. If you are not more than a little sad at the end of Cloudhopper I will not have done my job.
Matt: The more I read your work the harder it is for me to recall static panels. Now that you mention it I can see how some of this might come from your life drawing. I feel that there is playful looseness to your lines that conveys motion not just between panels but within them as well. What inking tools do you use to pull it off technically.
Matt: Is there any other cartoonist whose line work you study or who you would suggest to readers who like your work?
Geoff: I learn more from the people I know than from books. I steal color ideas from Zach Taylor and ideas for faces from Carey Atchison. I really like Anton Solomonik and Austin Bedell's ink styles, and try to steer a course between them. We have an amazing figure drawing thing going on in Austin, which is very useful, because I can compare the way I drew a model with the style other artists use. John David Brown has become the ASG championship figure drawer, we should enter him in competitions against other cities. I want to live like Sam Hurt, who seems to have it figured out a little better than most guys. Sam proved to me that you can make a living in this town if you work hard enough.
As to people I don't know, Moebius gets more art out of less line than anybody. Michael Lark has an incredible gift for faking perspective and creating space with just a couple straight edges, so if you want to create deerriman is still the greatest cartoonist yet, probably ever. Herriman is every bit as important, artispth I'd check him out. Keith Giffen is so good at comics composition that even his worst work (and there is plenty of his worst work) is a master class in storytelling. George Htically and historically, as Louis Armstrong.
Matt: You sell both color and black and white editions of Cloudhopper. You have self-published both a soft and hardcover edition of Busta/Lovecraft. Your work in Rocksalt is printed on ephemeral newsprint. All of this work is also available on your web page that I found both user friendly and sets the tone for the artistic content. In your opinion what does the physicality of work bring to the reader?
Geoff: Permanence. People will read something on the web and like it or not like it, sure, I'll get my penny from advertising and whatever, but a real printed comic can be passed hand to hand. It can be left lying around an apartment until somebody is too lazy to get up off the couch and reads it instead. You can put it in the bathroom. You can wrap a fish in it. You can take a page out and post it on your wall, or cut one cartoon out and stick it on your office door, or incorporate it into your awesome collage on your bedroom wall. Physical objects are cool like that.
I owned a comic book once called Face, by Milligan and Fegredo, a Vertigo one-shot from the nineties. It was okay, not that great, but pretty good. It just so happened that I left it on the table by my bed. I must have read that comic twenty times. Why? Because I woke up and didn't feel like getting out of bed, or I was going to sleep and I wanted something to look at, or I was sick that day, or whatever. On about the fifteenth read I felt like I "got" it, but I never really liked the comic. The only reason I read it twenty times was because it was sitting right there. When I realized this it was a complete revelation. I would never read the same webcomic twenty times. But since the comic was printed and sitting there, I did.
The age of comics has not passed; the web is one giant comic book. People actually want comic books more than ever. But they do not, absolutely do not want to pay for them. "Free" is the right price for a comic book these days. I think that's why Rocksalt does well. People want comics, but we have gotten out of the habit of paying for words and pictures. We need that money for food and rent. Why should I pay for words and pictures when I can read them for free on-line while I enjoy that burrito that I can now afford with the money that I could have spent on this comic? I'm a human being. I'm exactly the same as everybody else in this regard. Just because I love comics so much that I've essentially dedicated my life to them does not mean that I can afford them. In fact, it means the exact opposite. So I can't give you four dollars to hear about what wacky hijinks Green Lantern got up to this time, but I'd still love to hear all about it. Who wouldn't read a great comic book when it's sitting right in front of them? Nobody but a dedicated reader is going to go out and get them (and that's why conventions are so enormous right now, because they put the creators where people can find them), but if you put Rocksalt in front of them anybody will read it and love it. That's why we make it.
I can give a comic book to anybody. I can only sell books to the most dedicated of fans, mostly the ones who go out to conventions. When people go to comic book stores, as a general rule they are not going to spend money on artists they don't know. People who are emotionally invested enough in my work to drop ten dollars on it (and that's what stores have to charge; they really can't charge any less after printing and shipping; I make maybe a dollar out of the ten you give the store). Those are the sorts of readers that I want; they are the ones who are going to say "Hey this is great," and loan the comic around. I'm convinced that most readers come from one person who says to another, "Hey you have to read this comic," and loans them a copy. I hope that every single comic I sell is in its own way a library copy.
Matt: What went into the decision of make all this work available on-line?
Geoff: Why not? It takes about thirty seconds of effort to post a picture, and then people in Zimbabwe can read it, if they want to. The reason I'm an artist is....well, the real reason I'm an artist is because I realized nobody was going to read my novels if they didn't have pictures, so I went to art school and learned to draw. But the reason I'm a writer, or I guess the reason I'm a creator in general, is that I want to change your mind. I have certain things that I would like to get across to humanity. The main one is that war is fucking stupid but there are many others, and I'm willing to couch my words in pretty pictures and amazing storylines if that will get you to pay attention. The web is a cheap and easy amplifier for my work, and I'd be a fool not to use it.
Besides, web design is an art form.
As to why I don't charge for content? Because I tried that and it just lead to less readers in general. Maybe Neal Adams and Alan Moore have such a huge fan base that they can afford to cut it in half and shake down the ones who stay, but I am not actually that popular and that isn't going to change if I try to charge people for the privilege of getting acquainted with my work.
Matt: What was the experience of having you work square bound, in color and having a hardcover book?
Geoff: It's a lot of fun when you get a crate of books delivered to your home. There are few feelings better than seeing your work printed, and knowing that it needed to be printed because you sold through the last crate so you have to have another.
That said, keeping everything in print is quite a task for a small publisher. Right now I'm totally sold out of three titles and a poster, and I have to replace them before the show. They'll sell, so it's worth it -- the first comic I did is still selling, so I'm still printing it -- but it does require an uncomfortably adult level of responsibility to stay on top of your own inventory, ship it to where it needs to be, and store it the rest of the time. Thank god I don't have to deal with T-shirts yet.
Matt: Finally, is there anything you are looking forward to at Staple! 2013?
Geoff: Two new issues of Rocksalt and a new baby girl. My wife Gewel Kafka and I are expecting our first child in just a few weeks, right before Staple. I'm pretty excited.

"Spider's Web" exposes a deplorable sub rosa world that was created in order to supply Saddam Hussein armaments during the Iran-Iraq war. Presidents Reagan and Bush pursued policies in direct contravention of existing law and of their own public statements.
It was no secret that Saddam was a despicable character, who--among innumerable criminal acts--was not averse to murdering his own people--the Kurds, with poison gas.
War had erupted between Iran and the Iraq, two countries both considered enemies of the US. Iran having overthrown the Shah and in the process humiliated the U.S. was judged to be the greater evil. Accordingly-while contending that it was neutral-the U.S. tilted to Iraq and Saddam. William Casey, head of the CIA at the time, was the strongest proponent of assistance to Saddam. He did not just tilt but in the vernacular "gave away the store".
In Europe, Margaret Thatcher was a strong advocate for strengthening Iraq, as was the Italian government. Other governments, namely France, Germany and Japan, did not want to miss out on good commercial possibilities and joined in. Some also sold to the Iranians. All except the U.S. and England dropped out when Iraq did not pay its bills.Read more ›
Spider's Web is an outstanding book and one which George Bush Sr might want to read to his "Fortunate Son" at bedtime. This just might help the current President gain a clearer understanding and deeper perspective of the historical and illegal trading relationship which created Saddam's huge war machine at a time when he was George Shultz and George Bush Sr's close friend in the Middle East.
Why does the American Mainstream Media fail to hold US politicians to account on their past illegal dealings with foreign dictators which Washington helped to create? Maybe they lack information, confidence or courage? Or maybe some American journalists just don't care what's done in America's name by the White House? But the buck for Saddam's creation and arming stops in Washington D.C. ...and at a desk in the Oval Office which was once chaired by Ronald Regan and George Bush Sr.
Read this book.
As offered with plain and clear irrefutable evidence, including copies of actual government memos, this book shows how many US politicians (many of them Republicans in the current Bush administration!) assisted Saddam up until his invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
This was no mere minor fling. The US government was in bed with Saddam and the Ba'ath Party since the very beginning when they (the party) overthrew the nationalist government with assistance of the CIA. At the time our government provided hit lists to the Ba'athists. One of the hit-men who received those lists was none other than Saddam Hussein. And it off it went . . .
After this book I highly recommend Said Aburish's "Saddam Hussein: The Politics of Revenge" which exposes further Saddam's brutalities and the complicity of the US government and how they helped him rise to power and stay there.
From there readers should check out "George Bush's War" by Jean Edward Smith which shows, again with factual concrete evidence, how the US once again coddled Saddam right up until 24 hours after the invasion of Kuwait and then did a massive switcheroo and altered US foreign policy by _finally_ opposing Saddam and his brutal regime.
Add it all up, beginning with this book, and you have a much clearer picture as to why many people across the globe, especially Arabs and Muslims, are skeptical of US motivations in Iraq today.
One of the reviewers on Amazon.com described the book as a fabrication. This charge is not credible, as Friedman has extensively supported his assertions with information collected from FOIA inquiries and the media. Selected excerpts of his detailed source material (memos, transcripts, original sources) are reproduced in appendices.
"There is plenty of evidence, however, that in the first half of the 1980s the White House illegally armed Iraq and that in he latter period, running up through 1990, the tilt veered so far out of control, and so beyond reason, that it led to the willful abuse of taxpayer-funded programs and, after Operation Desert Storm, to efforts to hide the truth about U.S. policies toward Baghdad.
The author states this was not a conspiracy, neither in the US, nor Britain, nor Italy (who were each involved - Italy through the BCCI - Bank of Commerce and Credit - International) - but the outcome was indefensible and illegal, and the history has been obfuscated. This is a story of deceit and "manipulation of the truth at the highest levels of government."
Perhaps if more people read this history, the public would not be so trustful of their elected and appointed government servants, and there would be more advocates for full and open government communication.Read more ›
