The long-awaited and highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts III is now available worldwide. Fans can now follow Sora on his latest adventure across various Disney and Pixar themed worlds as he and his friends face the ever looming threat of Darkness.
The launch trailer below may have content that some might consider spoilers.
Is it a spoiler if I talk about things that AREN'T in the game? Better safe than sorry lol I'll block it. Fun game so far, feels like a Kingdom Heats game for sure, only the whole no Final Fantasy or Star Wars thing really bugs me lol Star Wars would've fit perfect in this world, if Pirates worked and Tron worked in the past, don't see why Star Wars wouldn't, who cares if they're not created by Disney, it's still Disney owned like Pixar, no? Disney should've let them use Star Wars if they weren't planning on giving them Marvel.
I'm sad that the key blade list is so small and most lol stupid. But otherwise ita a god tier game.
Wish they finished the story with the FF and WEWY allies too.
I don't want more Disney, SW or Marvel.
I love the game but after dream drop I was hoping Sora would get smarter . He's still cocky at least.
Weren't there talk of adding attachments in the game like Aqua had in 2.8?
What does larxene think of all the singing in Frozen world?
it apparently took them forever to make the deal with Pixar. Star Wars is just not worth it. Besides, we have the gummi ship missions and worlds and the keyblade war – THAT is our star + wars in the game.
I don't mind no FF characters in KH3 tbh. We got almost all KH characters in KH3. And Cloud and Sephiroth have probably set a record by now, because of their many cameos. Maybe we'll see less/no Disney and more FF again in KH4. It would be a nice change, cause including Disney worlds is slowing down the production significantly, with the required contracts and all the voice actors who need to be brought on board. Disney owns Sora & co., so I don't know if they can cut off Disney in KH that easily. Sqex wasn't even able to include Sora in World of FF before getting the approval from Disney.
I agree. But do you really want more items/keyblades? I love the minimalistic list we got. When I look at XV, XIV, XIII and so on with their massive amount of items and weapons, I'm glad for the minimalistic approach. At least I get to try out each keyblade this way and memorize them, and they feel more "special".
personally I wouldn't compare FFXV/XIII as games that had many weapons, because those imo were the worst, none of them felt special, in XIII most of them were just upgrades from the standard weapon you start with..no item in XIII felt unique at all since you could technically beat the game with the very first weapon you start with…that's boring imo. XV had one of the worst weapon list, as most of them were just reskins, none of the end-game weapons really looked or even felt unique, that style of weapon system just feels lazyto me… but to each their own ^ ^ everyone enjoys things differently haha.
It's not that I want more, just I want more of them that aren't goofy looking.
I like the KBs that were in KH2. Like Two Become One or the one you got from Axel's keychain.
You're right, I agree with your points. Maybe we'll get all that in KH4, and maybe the next game isn't that far away, who knows? I think I was just a bit over-protective, since I am still so glad that we got a full AAA KH sequel and not a mobile/smartphone game. I mean, they could've opted for an approach like the XV pocket edition in KH X Chi style for Switch or smartphones, since the console market in Japan is dying. Opera Omnia, Mobius, Brave Exvius… Sqex is slowly moving towards smartphones, and I dislike that.
ikr? So many Japanese companies are already leaning towards smartphone games. Imagine if we got those games for 3DS instead of smartphone (all the FF spin-offs, KH chi,…). I am still glad we got KH3 as it is, for the best consoles. Imo it's still the best KH game, only beaten by KH2. People need to be more supportive in the case of KH3, otherwise we might degrade to smartphone-level again. It has happened in the past (Dissidia, KH Chi), it can happen again. Smartphone games which are in the lore. Damn!!

Epsom Salt Baths for Runners
Epsom Salt Baths for Runners www.runnerclick.com
I sank into the tub and let out a sigh of relief. When was the last time I had a bath instead of a shower? I honestly could not remember. It seems that in our busy lives, making time for "relaxation" can be a chore when it means that we have one more thing "to do" at the end of the day before we can go to sleep. And normally for runners, that sacred "me" time is reserved for squeezing in those miles or speed workouts or cross-training.
The Epsom salts had thoroughly dissolved into the hot water and I sniffed around suspiciously. Odorless and lacking the obvious excitement of a bubble bath, I was a little bit skeptical about trying an Epsom salt bath, but my boyfriend had recommended it. Within a few minutes, my limbs felt heavy, my mind felt relaxed, and I sunk into the soothing lull of my yoga tune playlist and aromatherapy candles.
When I emerged from the bath 20 minutes later, my previously aching muscles felt heavy and relaxed, and I slept like a rock. I noticed subtle changes in my energy level and in my running training in the days that followed. Since then I make a point to take an Epsom salt bath a few times a week. Most "experts" recommend mixing 1-2 cups of Epsom salts in the tub for a 10-20-minute soak time, up to 3 times per week.
Is it a placebo effect, or can an Epsom salt bath provide a physiological boost for runners?
It's been practiced for a long time, probably as long as ice baths became popular for athletes. Historically it's been used as a laxative when consumed orally (be careful not to swallow your bath water!) as well as a powerful agent for muscle aches and pains.
Epsom salts break down into magnesium and sulfate which are then absorbed through the skin when dissolved into a warm bath. Magnesium plays an important role in numerous body functions, such as muscle control, electrolyte regulation, energy production, and detoxification. Magnesium also plays a role in mood because it helps the body to bind to serotonin, and deficiencies have been associated with anxiety and depression. Sulfates are also important for detoxification as well as regulating enzymes, brain health and proteins found in your joints.
It's becoming more common that people develop a magnesium deficiency. In fact, exercise and stress deplete the body of Magnesium, so it's possible that runners may be predisposed to developing a chronic deficiency. There are different types of magnesium that you can take orally in the pill form, but the stomach is not as efficient at absorbing Magnesium when compared to the skin.
The claimed benefits of Epsom salt baths are widespread, from reducing headaches and promoting relaxation/stress relief to improving heart and nerve function, sunburn and psoriasis. Epsom salts are used to treat muscle pain and soreness, muscle cramps, pain, swelling, tendon irritation and bruising.
As far as the evidence goes, it's difficult to find studies that validate the use of Epsom salt baths in any type of population, let alone runners. There's been an apparent rise since 2010 in the abuse of "bath salts" which are designer stimulant drugs in the pill form that contain a mixture of Epsom salts and other compounds, not to be confused with an actual Epsom salt bath. The pill form contains dangerous potentially life-threatening amphetamines.
Outside of studies on (negative) effects the illegal pill form, there's not a lot of scientific research out there to back up the anecdotal claims of Epsom salt baths. Many avid and elite long-distance runners publicly divulge that they will take an Epsom salt bath before bed on the eve of a race. Some believe that the baths help to prevent muscle cramping or flares in overuse injuries.
A small study with 16 participants was conducted in 2014 at the Western Illinois University Kinesiology Department. They elicited delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in the participants via eccentric loading exercises with dumb-bells. They followed 4 different treatment groups for a period of time following the exercise session (magnesium sulfate and contrast water therapy, magnesium sulfate and cryotherapy, magnesium sulfate and thermotherapy, and a control group with no treatment). They found no significant differences between groups for joint angles, perceived pain or perceived disability. The author concluded that the resolution of DOMS was time-dependent and the addition of Epsom salt baths and other thermal therapies did not change the outcome. However, all participants were untrained females and they only studied one small muscle group (elbow flexors) in one small sample size.
Another study examined the effects of Epsom salt baths and napping on a group of sixty elite athletes (both men and women) who played 9 different sports. The athletes spent 45 minutes in a "FLOAT" tank, which provided a dark and quiet environment where they were suspended in a saline Epsom salt solution in warm water. They found that a single session of FLOAT therapy resulted in improvement of 15/16 mood-state variables as well as lower perceived muscle soreness, regardless of whether the athlete fell asleep or not. Athletes who were able to nap did show small to moderate effect sizes on this variable. They theorized that the lack of sensory stimuli present in the flotation environment was able to dampen the nervous system to enhance relaxation. It's difficult to infer whether the Epsom salts contributed to the outcomes of this study, or whether the napping and floating variables had a bigger impact on the athletes.
All I know is, I want one of those FLOAT tanks in my home! (Please do not go and attempt to fall asleep in the tub after reading this. Those tanks were designed very carefully to prevent drowning).
The take-home message with all of this is that Epsom salt baths may promote a number of physiological and psychological benefits for runners, though there is not enough scientific evidence out there. When done correctly, Epsom salt baths are safe to perform and may be beneficial in recovery as well as pre-race preparation for runners.

The source of your energy while exercising is predominantly from carbohydrates or fat. Your body relies on carbohydrate and fat as energy sources all of the time, but in different percentages depending on the activity and your level of fitness. When you are exercising at a high intensity, the main source of energy is carbohydrate and at a low intensity, fat is the predominate source. We have large stores of fat so low intensity work can be maintained for long periods. If you are an athlete, your body will shift to burning fat sooner than someone who is unfit. So from an energy efficiency point of view, it pays to be fit. However, to keep it simple and applicable to most people, none of this matters too much when it comes to weight loss. While there is a 'fat burning zone' that exists which relies on fitness levels and the duration and intensity of exercise, the most important factor for weight loss is energy expenditure (calories).
You will burn more calories if you exercise for a long period of time at a high intensity than if you cut your workout short and don't challenge yourself or push your limit. So keep challenging your body with moderate to intense workouts most days of the week to burn calories regardless if the energy source is fat or carbs.
So which exercises will burn more calories? The ones that use your lower body muscles like walking, jogging, biking, and skiing to name a few. Your lower body muscles like your glutes, hamstrings, and quadriceps are larger muscles and will burn more calories than your upper body muscles. But keep in mind that higher intensity exercises will yield a higher number of calories burned. For example, if you are a 140 lb woman, a 30 minute brisk walk will burn about 126 calories but you will burn about 340 calories during a 30 minute run.
There is no such thing as 'spot training'. There is no magic 'fat wand' that decides where you will diminish fatty tissues from your body. Genetics play a large part when it comes to how your body will change when you are working hard to lose weight. Your body will go through a transformation as an entire unit, not just one body part at a time. However you can definitely control which muscles get stronger, more toned or larger through strength training particular muscle groups. Re-size and strengthen your biceps, triceps, quadriceps or other muscles through consistent and challenging exercises using weights, bands, balls or even your own body weight.
Keep yourself motivated by changing the type of exercises you do to prevent boredom and set goals for yourself for pounds or inches lost. While there is a 'fat burning zone' for everyone that is unique, pay more attention to burning calories if your goal is to lose weight. Keep it simple by challenging yourself and pushing your limits instead of worrying about where the fat loss is occurring anatomically.
Thanks for reading! Have a healthy week!

Discover Oaxaca
Unique landscapes and ancient culture in Mexico's highlands
Begin in the buzzing metropolis of Mexico City, exploring the historical streets of the famous Zocalo (city centre) and indulging in the city's diverse culinary scene. Venture out of the city to the magnificent ruins of the Teotihuacán pyramids, once Central America's largest city. Spend a day strolling around the many churches of Puebla, before heading to colourful neighbouring Cholula, where you can view the ancient shrubbery-covered temple, the Great Pyramid. Admire the unique petrified waterfalls at Hierve el Agua, before heading to Oaxaca, a city steeped in culture and tradition, where you can browse traditional craft markets and enjoy the region's many gastronomical specialties.

Suggested itinerary
Stroll through Mexico City's famous Zocalo
Day 1–2 in Mexico City
The oldest capital city in the Americas, Mexico City is a buzzing tribute to an incredibly storied history, where pre-Hispanic and colonial-era buildings sit alongside innovative urban architecture and revamped public spaces. Visitors can explore the historic centre — known as Zocalo — and admire murals by renowned painter Diego Rivera, before heading to the excellent National Museum of Anthropology and History or to a classic old-school cantina for some authentic Mexican cuisine.
Visit the many churches of Puebla
Day 3 in Puebla
The capital of the Puebla Municipality and one of Mexico's biggest cities, Puebla's well-preserved historic centre is home to 70 churches and a wealth of elegant colonial architecture, earning its nickname "the city of angels". Once known as a symbol of virtue and conservatism — Puebla state remains the wealthiest Catholic diocese in Mexico — the city is currently undergoing a cultural and touristic revolution. With a dynamic art and crafts scene (the region is known for its fine Talavera ceramics), multiple universities and rich culinary heritage, Puebla easily deserves a few days of your time.
Explore colourful Cholula
Day 4 in Cholula
A brief 20-minute bus ride away from Puebla, Cholula de Rivadavia has undergone a transformation in recent years, from small satellite town and occasional tour stop to a bona fide boutique destination. Boasting a rich history and more relaxed atmosphere than Puebla, Cholula is perhaps best known as the site of the Great Pyramid, an ancient shrubbery-covered temple with a Spanish church built atop its peak.
Watch the sunset at otherworldly Hierve el Agua
Day 5 in Hierve el Agua
This series of natural rock formations and mineral springs has become a popular day trip from Oaxaca which can be combined with hikes in the Valle de Tlacolula. These calcified waterfalls are formed by mineral water which has pushed through karstic limestone, depositing falls and small pools onto the cliff's edge. Prior to the 1300s when they appear to have been abandoned, the springs supplied an ancient irrigation system for the valley below through a series of canals and terraces, unique to Mexico.
Embrace your inner-foodie in striking Oaxaca
Day 6–8 in Oaxaca
Vibrant and historical, Oaxaca City is a captivating blend of old and new that just begs to be explored. Street art covers its pastel-coloured lanes and intoxicating smells float from every window. Known as the gastronomic capital of Mexico for good reason, sample the famous mole negro, a spicy, smoky meat and bean stew, although there are six other famous moles to try too.

Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth (Washington, D.C., 26 de dezembro de 1819 – Georgetwon, D.C., 30 de junho de 1899) foi uma escritora estadunidense, autora de mais de 60 romances, na segunda metade do século XIX. Muitas vezes assinava seus trabalhos como E.D.E.N. Southworth.

Biografia
E.D.E.N. Southworth foi para o Wisconsin após sua graduação em Washington, D.C.. Ela estudou em uma escola mantida pelo seu padrasto, Joshua L. Henshaw, e em 1840 casou com o inventor Frederick H. Southworth, de Utica, Nova Iorque. Após 1843 ela retornou a Washington, D.C. sem seu marido.

Ela começou a escrever histórias para se sustentar e aos seus filhos quando seu marido a deixou em 1844. Sua primeira história foi "The Irish Refugee", que foi publicada no Baltimore Saturday Visitor. Alguns de seus trabalhos posteirores apareceram no The National Era, o jornal que imprimiu Uncle Tom's Cabin. A maior parte do seu trabalho apareceu como uma série no New York Ledger,de Robert Bonner, que foi lido nas décadas de 1850 e 1860.

Como sua amiga Harriet Beecher Stowe, foi uma defensora da mudança social e direitos de mulheres, mas não foi tão ativa sobre estas questões. Seu primeiro romance, "Retribution", uma série no National Era, foi publicado em forma de livro em 1846, e foi tão bem recebido que ela desistiu de ensino e se tornou uma contribuinte regular de vários periódicos, principalmente o "New York Ledger". Ela morou em Georgetwon, D.C. até 1876, então em Yonkers, Nova Iorque, e novamente em Georgetown, D.C., onde morreu. Está sepultada em Oak Hill Cemetery.

Carreira literária
Seu melhor trabalho foi "The Hidden Hand". Surgiu inicialmente em forma de série no New York Ledger em 1859, e foi serializado mais duas vezes (1868-69, 1883), surgindo em forma de livro em 1888. A maioria de suas obras retrata o sul dos Estados Unidos durante o período posterior à Guerra Civil. Ela escreveu mais de sessenta livros e alguns deles foram traduzidos para o alemão, francês, chinês, espanhol, e português. Em 1872, uma edição de trinta e cinco volumes foi publicado na Filadélfia.

The Silver Chalice
They can't all be winners, right? Over a long career, at some point movie stars have to have a dud every so often. In most cases though you'll never hear the star actually admit that part of the equation. Well, most cases other than Paul Newman. One of Hollywood's greatest actors and a true legend, even Newman had to start somewhere, making his screen debut in 1954's The Silver Chalice. It's been critically roasted, and more than that, roasted by Newman who took out a full page ad in a newspaper in the 1960s to encourage TV viewers not to watch this movie when it was shown on TV. Now that's the kind of honesty we need more of.
Let's get this out of the way early. 'Chalice' is a bad movie, a truly bad movie, that is entertaining in its awfulness. It was an early trendsetter in huge Biblical epics like The Ten Commandments, The Robe, King of Kings, Spartacus and many others. But you know what all those epics had going for them? A somewhat decent script and some actual scale in terms of sets, costuming and 'a cast of thousands.' Directed by Victor Saville, 'Chalice' has none of those things. Other than an impressive cast full of not quite yet stars and some hopefully unintentionally funny scenes, this one is a big stinker.
Twenty years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a Greek silversmith in Antioch by the name of Basil (Newman) is fighting for his freedom after his uncle throws him into slavery. He is offered freedom by a man named Joseph of Arimathea (Walter Hampden) who presents a challenge for him as an artist. Joseph owns the cup Jesus used during the Last Supper and wants to give it a proper resting place in the form of an immense chalice that will feature the faces of all those closest to Jesus, mainly the apostles. Basil accepts the challenge and goes to work, but surrounding powers want to get their hands on the Holy Grail, including a revolutionary group led by Mijamin (Joseph Wiseman) and a magician named Simon (Jack Palance).
I'll start with the positives -- however few there were. The cast is something to behold because many of the actors and actresses involved went on to much bigger and better things, Newman obviously at the top of that list. There's also Italian beauty Pier Angeli, future Bonanza star Lorne Greene as Peter, a young Natalie Wood as a slave girl, E.G. Marshall as Basil's adopted father, Michael Pate as Angeli's worrying father, and Virginia Mayo as the key ingredient in the always interesting love triangle. Of course some of these parts are nothing more than a 'blink and you'll miss them' appearance, but with as 'involving' as the story is, it shouldn't be hard.
One of the selling points of these huge historical epics was the lavish sets, costumes and uses of thousands of extras. 'Chalice' basically passes on all three of those -- okay, the costumes are interesting. The sets are absolutely ridiculous, and I'm guessing about $18 was spent putting them together. It's very clear these are on soundstages with gigantic stage-like curtains in the background standing in for actual background. At times, the sets look like Legos or Duplos assembled by toddlers. They're so bad it becomes funny to see how cheesy they look. Check out the backgrounds in THIS scene, the inside of a temple. It looks like they drew in 'the bricks' with a sharpie marker.
Newman later stated in interviews that he thought this was his worst ever performance. I haven't seen all of them, but I'm inclined to agree. He's miscast as a Greek to begin with, and he hasn't developed that on-screen persona, that charm that made him so likable in so many later movies. The rest of the cast isn't exactly challenging for any Oscars either. Mayo looks done up like some sort of drag queen with eyebrows that look like they'd stab someone. Her sexy magician's assistant (seems right at home in a biblical movie) is torn between Basil and Simon, but she looks too ridiculous to even take too seriously. As for the rest of the cast, Angeli has a sexy accent, and Wiseman is a creepy enough 2nd villain.
But more than all the cheap sets and sluggish dialogue, the one star really breathing some life into the movie is Jack Palance as Simon, a magician who believes he has the talent, the ability to convince the Christians he is more powerful than Christ. He chews scenery like nobody's business, hamming it up with his monologues and magic tricks. His Simon also provides one so unintentionally funny moment late in the movie that I almost felt bad for having laughed...almost being the key word. It's the one true worthwhile part of this dud, but if curious, watch it at Youtube starting here with Part 1 of 15.

Fact.MR has compiled a new report on the global foodservice packaging market. The report projects the global market for foodservice packaging to ride on an impressive 7.5% CAGR through the forecast period (2017-2026), in terms of value. Over 54,000 '000 tons of foodservice packaging products are likely to be sold across the globe by 2026-end.
With growing health-consciousness among consumers worldwide, a large number of commercial and non-commercial foodservice outlets that serve healthy and nutritious meals have emerged over the past few years, helping consumers in curtailing their calorie intake. This has further created the need for effective packaging in these foodservice outlets. In addition, growing preference for ready-to-eat food, changing consumer demand patterns regarding food packaging, and rising emphasis on use of convenient packaging have driven the demand for foodservice packaging. Vendors in the foodservice packaging market are introducing innovative packaging products for takeaway and home delivery food. These vendors are implementing several innovations in foodservice packaging such as compostable packaging and biodegradable packaging. Recently, corrugated packaging has gained immense traction in the foodservice industry on the back of its thermal properties, the ability to retain freshness of food products for extended duration, and preventing food from releases & spills. Additionally, many players have started introducing sustainable packaging products, meanwhile continuously working on recyclable and reusable packaging materials.

Decreases in Holdings
Clearwire (CLWR)
Google (GOOG) said it intends to sell its 29,411,765-share position (6.5% of equity, 2.3% of the voting rights).
In accordance with a prior agreement, Clearwire's other large shareholders, including Sprint (S), Intel (INTC), Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) were given five business days, beginning Feb. 7, to notify Google of their intent to buy shares. Google has offered to sell them the shares for $1.60 each, but if these holders don't purchase all of the shares, Google would sell those remaining on the open market; so far, no additional filings have offered any detail on the outcome.
Hanger Orthopedic Group (HGR)
Ares Management cut its holdings to 1,279,887 shares (4.9%) with its sale of 118,800 from Feb. 15 through Feb. 27 at prices ranging from $21.02 to $21.08 per share.
Multimedia Games (MGAM)
Dolphin Limited Partnership holds 1,669,677 shares (4.7%) after selling 192,000 from Feb. 16 through Feb. 23 at prices that ranged from $10.32 to $10.75.

The Activist Spotlight
AOL (ticker: AOL)
Business: Global Web services
Investor's Average Cost: $14.20 per share
Stock-Market Value: $1.70 billion ($17.97 per share)
What's Happening:Starboard Value is nominating five candidates to the company's board.
Key Numbers:
5.2%: the amount of common stock owned by Starboard
$544 million: the sum that Starboard estimates the Display-ad business lost in 2011.
$907 million: the Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) Starboard estimates the remainder of the company made in 2011.
Behind the Scenes: Starboard has had particular activist success in companies that have solid core businesses with significant cash flow, but whose management has been reinvesting the cash flow in noncore businesses that have been unsuccessful.
In this situation, Starboard clearly likes AOL's Access, Search and some of its advertising businesses. The losing business is Display. Starboard would like to see more data before deciding which parts, if any, of that unit should be sold and which should be retained and grown. It's also likely that it would lean toward selling the Patch (local-oriented news) business.
Starboard believes that AOL's patent portfolio could produce over $1 billion in licensing income annually if properly harvested. But it remains troubled that AOL is still closed-minded to alternative value-creation initiatives. This is the largest investment in Starboard's portfolio, and it's extremely unlikely that it would settle without attaining some board representation. Although it is nominating five directors to the eight-person board, Starboard isn't seeking a majority. Instead, it wants to preserve its rights, in case the company expands the board prior to the 2012 annual meeting.

< BACKFar From Home Na'ima B. Robert AUTHOR >
14-year-old Tariro is a daughter of the soil: she loves the land, the baobab tree she was born beneath, her loving family – and brave, handsome Nhamo. She couldn't be happier. But then the white settlers arrive, and everything changes – suddenly, violently, and tragically, robbing Tariro of all that she loves.
Forty years later, 14-year-old Katie adores her doting father, her exclusive boarding school, and her farm with its baobab tree in rural Zimbabwe. Life is great. Until the land acquisition programme forces the family off the land and to cold, rainy London.
Katie and Tariro are two girls linked by a terrible secret, grappling with the complexities of adolescence, family and a painful colonial legacy as their lives play out against the tragic history of the land in Zimbabwe.

When you walk through our doors, you're visiting a team that truly listens to you. After all, every patient is unique and has different needs. We always take the time to understand how your smile is doing so that we can provide the most customized care possible. By formulating specialized dental services, we seek to empower you with treatments that fit your needs, your circumstances, and your lifestyle. From the way we treat you and the attention we provide, you'll see just how much we care for you and your family.
Our team is very proud of our implementation of new, modern technologies that have revolutionized the field of dentistry. We have it all, from laser whitening to implant supported crowns, bridges, and dentures. Most notably, we offer the Planmeca Fit System, an advanced system that digitally scans and designs your crowns at our office while you wait. With this cutting-edge technology, we provide an unparalleled dental experience, enabling us to deliver high-quality dental restorations in a single, same-day appointment.
At Complete Smiles, your wish is our command. From fillings to veneers to whitening, our services cover every possibility and cater to your specific preferences and lifestyle. As always, we offer complimentary consultations to aid in your custom smile design. Below, you can find information regarding the most common cosmetic dentistry procedures.
With advancing technologies, fillings have developed to such an extent that they can replace silver and mercury amalgams by mimicking the appearance of natural teeth. We match the filling to the exact shade of your tooth to ensure it is visually identical. Rather than removing a large portion of the tooth, we remove only the damaged portions, effectively preserving a larger quantity of the tooth. Finally, the filling can strengthen your tooth by bonding at all angles.
Veneers are thin shells that bond to the surface of the teeth. They are known for solving a multitude of problems ranging from a simple tooth chip to abnormal, discolored, or crooked teeth. Veneers are versatile and can be made from a variety of different materials; however, porcelain is frequently used due to its durability and natural appearance. A more conservative alternative to crowns, veneers require less reduction of the tooth's original surface. With veneers in place, patients can expect straighter, whiter, and more proportional teeth.
Inside your tooth is a tissue called pulp. Issues such as decay, a crack or chip in the tooth, or a blow to the tooth can result in inflammation or infection of this tissue. If left untreated, this inflamed or infected pulp can lead to pain or abscess. Fortunately, a mature tooth is not dependent on this pulp. This is where endodontic treatment comes into play. Endodontic treatment is the technical term for the procedure commonly referred to as a root canal. By incorporating advanced techniques, the procedure minimizes any discomfort that accompanies the inflammation and ensures a lasting solution by utilizing restorative treatments such as posts and crowns.
Nothing freshens up your appearance quite like a whiter, brighter smile. At Complete Smiles, we offer a variety of teeth whitening methods, From same-day laser whitening or Zoom to take-home products such as the Kor Deep Bleaching System and Opalescence. Using the best products currently available to dental professionals, we develop a plan specifically for you.
A dental implant is a small, but strong, device that is inserted in the jawbone in place of a missing tooth root. When in place, bone grows and bonds with the surface of the implant. Inspired by natural smiles, implants are alternatives to the fixed bridge. They act and appear like a natural, healthy tooth. Implant dentistry is the most advanced therapy available to treat missing teeth for numerous reasons: implants preserve bone, promote overall health, and save neighboring teeth. They are strong, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing. Contact us to inquire about implants today.

Vietnam Value Forum 2021 officially kicked off
The Vietnam Trade Promotion Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, MVV Group, and other overseas and local partners on April 19 jointly organised the Vietnam Value Forum 2021 with the topic "Vietnam Value – New Position, New Value". The forum is also a part of Vietnam Value Week 2021.
Vietnam Value Forum 2021 focused on the diverse concerns of local businesses, especially on finding ways to take advantage of the programme and enhance the positions of Vietnamese companies in local and international markets.
The event also gathered numerous international economic experts, representatives of businesses, and representatives of local authorities, as well as local and overseas organisations.
The Vietnam Value Programme was approved by the prime minister in Decision No.253/2003/ND-CP dated November 25, 2003. The government assigned the Ministry of Industry and Trade to develop the programme, aiming to promote the nation's image through high-quality "Made in Vietnam" goods.
"Over the recent years, the image of Vietnam Value has constantly improved in the global playground thanks to the government's efforts in reforming the business climate and also extending bilateral and multilateral relations," said Do Thang Hai, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade. "These have contributed to boosting import-export activities, benefiting domestic brands."
According to Brand Finance, in 2020 Vietnam was one of the countries recording significant growth in national value with a scale of $319 billion, up 29 per cent on-year. Thanks to that, Vietnam Value climbed 9 levels to be the 33rd most valuable national brand in the world.
Besides, the report said Vietnam was the only regional nation increasing the rankin the Global Soft Power Index 2020, from the position of 50th out of 60 to 47th out of 150 nations. Contributing to the achievement is the growth in ranking of the national value and positive results related to the economy.
Thanks to the programme, many local businesses have step-by-step built up and develop their brands. The number of businesses receiving the Vietnam Value Awards has kept increasing, from 30 in 2008 to 124 in 2020, with 283 items, with many products achieving regional and global recognition.
"The forum is organised in the context that a string of free trade agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement have become valid to stimulate local economic integration," said Hai. "I hope Vietnamese companies will actively grasp opportunities to be better involved in the global value chain, beefing up their brands and the nation's image."
Accompanying the programme, marketing specialists from MVV Group will support local businesses by providing skilled consultants to better take advantage of Vietnam Value in promoting their brands and products while also offering solutions to efficiently penetrate new markets.
Mr. Vu Ba Phu, General Director of Trade Promotion Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade, said that after 17 years of implementing the program of voting national brands of seven brands, we have witnessed the continuous growth of many domestic enterprises.
By 2018, this had grown to 97, and this year we have registered 124 businesses and their brands.
However, the growth of the business community is not only in the number of enterprises participating, but also in exports, sales, contributions to the state budget, as well as their efforts in social responsibility. and job creation.
At the first selection in 2008, we saw only 30 selected companies with their products. By 2018, this had grown to 97, and this year we have registered 124 businesses and their brands.
For example, the national brand recognized enterprise in 2018 achieved revenue of about 907 trillion VND (39.4 billion USD), export turnover reached 130 trillion VND (5.6 billion USD), contributing 85 trillion VND (3.7 billion USD) to the state budget and created 340,000 jobs.
Meanwhile, this year, those figures have increased to 975 trillion dong (42.4 billion USD) and 123 trillion dong (5.34 billion USD) by 2020, with the amount contributed to the bank. State books amounted to 179 trillion VND (8.5 billion USD) and 350,000 new jobs were created - all despite the pandemic.
Vu Ba Phu also said that, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has supported businesses in difficulty. After the first months of the health crisis, the domestic market was redefined.
Right from the beginning of the year, following the direction of the Government, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has worked with ministries, branches and localities to implement supply-demand activities across the country to remove difficulties for businesses in production. and distribution.
In addition, to support businesses with high quality brands, we have also been integrating selected brands into national promotions such as the Clean Food Program to vote Vietnamese products for local people.
The integration of such programs has helped grow the domestic market since the beginning of the year, despite the economic consequences of the pandemic. This shows that the communication, promotion and support efforts of the Ministry of Industry and Trade and its agencies so far have been effective.

Ingleside UMC hosts food truck roundup, church-wide garage sale
Close to 500 church members, Capital Heights area residents and visitors from throughout Baton Rouge gathered at Ingleside United Methodist Church for the Baton Rouge Food Truck Roundup on Aug. 13. Trucks assembled in the church parking lot offering hamburgers, pulled pork tacos and nachos, unique coffees, gourmet cupcakes, gelatos and more.
"Church members did a great job of hosting and inviting guests to worship on Sunday morning. And 12 visitors took them up on the invitation!," said Rev. Larry Norman, pastor.
Ingleside UMC is also hosting an annual outdoor concert series called Summer Beat, which gathers the same kind of crowd each Friday night during June-August. Due to the popularity of these events, a second concert series, known as City Beat, will begin Nov. 7 (World Community Day) and continue until the third week in December. These events feature live bands--often with band members from the Capital Height's neighborhood--great food.
The food truck event became the first "leg" of a two-part community event. "The next day was slated for the church's annual garage sale, with proceeds dedicated to mission. The volunteers had gathered so much merchandise from church members and the surrounding community that they rushed up preparations and opened the garage sale for the food truck crowd. Not only did the participants take advantage of the Wednesday night serendipitous opening, but came back on Saturday to continue their shopping with the promise of new treasures to be offered. They were not disappointed, and over $3,000 was raised for missions!," said Norman.
"This is a faith-driven congregation that truly enjoys being with each other!," said Norman. "I am continually amazed at the friendship, the fun and admiration these folks have for each other. We have joined in community events such as our singles attending the Irish Film Festival at Phil Brady's, the concerts, work days at the parsonage and sharing in worship. And, even our committee meetings are a hoot! I'm looking forward to an Administrative Council meeting tonight!"
Ingleside UMC will offer "blessing of the animals" on Saturday, Oct. 4. Although plans are still in the making, it is anticipated the 9-11 a.m. gathering will include a health fair for pets, a petting zoo, appearances by celebrity pets and humans who work for animal rights and health advice from local vets. A worship service at 10 a.m. will feature the blessing of the animals; and later in October, there will be a special worship event memorialize those "special animal friends" that have been lost during the past year.


This programme is a business course with a strong focus on eBusiness, Marketing and Digital Marketing, which are skills that are required through many sectors of industry.
These skills are adaptable, very current and highly sought after in the workplace.
universities to study in fields such as Digital Marketing, Business and Management. Students may progress to Business with Tourism within Duiske College.

Today we had a meeting and I came up with the feedback from you guys, about to half the revive timer in Survival.
We had an event like few weeks ago when it got half ed and it seems like that player liked it and also the server were more pop'ed.
But that also would bring some changes to the PVP part. For example player would be faster back in to the server and it will end like a death fight overall.
So here it comes, please tell your friends to vote and help us to improve Survival.
i would prefer 3 minutes for premium & 6 minutes for normal player.
BECAUSE!!!! - when you die as a premium player, you can watch the deadscreen 50 Seconds and after the Screen ends, you have only 1:30minutes left to respawn. Thats honestly way to fast for rejoining.
NO FFS! LIKE SPAWN KILLING WASN'T BAD ENOUGH ALREADY!
prefer 3 minutes for premium & 5 minutes for a normal player.
Hace poco tiempo, presente un proyecto lo cual nadie atendio a mi llamado.
survival es un modo de juego muy bueno. ahora hace mucho tiempo ya a salido el mapa "OREGON" y creo que es hora de que abran nuevos sitios de dicho mapa.
con respecto a esta idea nueva de acortar el tiempo, me parece justa y me parece bien.
It seems like there is a never ending agenda by the long term players to slowly manipulate the game for a personal turkey shoot. Always crying to force the very few new players into a tighter situation to increase their kills. No patience. Lots of players on lots of servers thus they cry. NOW, a few servers a few players. People need time to transition from survival mentality to HUNTERS of men. Unfortunately all we are seeing with every new survey is an attempt to keep the long term cry babies from pooping themselves verses growing the new players that frankly are disgusted. You get killed you SHOULD loose everything otherwise it just becomes an arcade game. These ongoing changing are for the carnival players wanting to shoot metal ducks for stuffed animals. I love the SURVIVAL game and would be pleased it it returned to its status a couple of years ago.
@sven if you change respawn time, you decrease count ppl who buy premium account.
I think it's a good idea !
