Jada Pinkett Smith has a net worth of $50 million. She is an American actress, producer, director, singer, author, and businesswoman.
Though it should be remembered that Jada's net worth is largely derived from her marriage to Will Smith, who is one of the highest-paid performers of the last two decades.
Jada Pinkett Smith has amassed a substantial net worth from her work in movies, television, music, fashion, and as a children's book author.
Jada Pinkett Smith Early Life
She was raised by Adrienne Bandfield-Jones and Rosbol Pinkett Jr., both of Baltimore, Maryland. On September 18, 1971, she was born. Adrienne gave birth to Jada while still in high school, and the couple married soon after, leaving Adrienne to raise Jada alone.

As soon as her grandmother noticed her granddaughter's potential for performance, she enrolled her in piano and dancing lessons. At the Baltimore School for the Arts, she studied dance and drama. Jada obtained her diploma in 1989. Tupac Shakur was a classmate of Jada's at this school. They were inseparable friends before his tragic death.
Jada Pinkett Smith Career
After moving to Los Angeles in the early 1990s, Jada found work on shows including True Colors, Doogie Howser, and 21 Jump Street. She had a 36-episode recurring role in the sitcom "A Different World." Her big break came in 1993 with the film "Menace II Society," in which she appeared.
When "A Low Down Dirty Shame," starring Keenen Ivory Wayans, was released in 1994, it drew a lot of attention and received rave reviews. She was cast in the love drama "Jason's Lyrics" later that year as a result of her appearance as a convict in Demon Knight. The connection between Pinkett Smith and her co-star Allen Payne was praised by Roger Ebert.
Jada's big break came in 1996, when she starred as Eddie Murphy's love interest in the remake of "The Nutty Professor." The film was a great success, with first-weekend ticket sales of $25 million leading to a worldwide total of $274 million.
"The Nutty Professor" was one of Jada Pinkett Smith's earliest appearances, and it launched a successful and lucrative career that includes roles in "Kingdom Come," "Scream 2," and "The Matrix."
She was nominated for an Image Award in 2010 for her portrayal of Christina Hawthorne on the drama series "Hawthorne," which she starred in from 2009 to 2011. Beginning April 2014, she played Fish Mooney in the television series "Gotham."
Jada Pinkett Smith provided the voice of Gloria in the animated "Madagascar" films. Since 2018, Jada has starred in the Facebook Watch series "Red Table Talk."
Jada Pinkett Smith Personal Life
Jada met her future husband, Will Smith, on the set of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air." Will Smith went on to become a famous actor. Jada auditioned for the role of Lisa Wilkes, his character's girlfriend. Because Jada Pinkett Smith was deemed "too short" for the role, Nia Long was cast instead.
Will and Jada met after he divorced Sheree Fletcher in 1995, and they married in 1997. Will had previously expressed an interest in Jada, but he had never pursued it.
Because to their parents' efforts, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have two children, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith, who are both well-known performers in the entertainment industry today. Will's son from a previous relationship, Trey Smith, is also Jada's stepson.
Jada admitted to having a relationship with August Alsina, a singer, after months of speculations about her and Will's separation in 2016.
Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation, which focuses on aiding adolescents and their families in urban areas, was founded by the Pinkett Smiths in 2005. In 2006, the charity received the David Angell Humanitarian Award. Over the years, the family and the Foundation have donated to a variety of charities and causes. The Smiths gave $2,000 to the Hollywood Education and Literacy Program, which is Scientology's basis for homeschooling, despite not being members of the Church.

From birth to around age 5, a child's brain development is advancing rapidly. If parents can make intentional efforts to incorporate effective phonics toys such as the LeapFrog Phonics learning system into a child's daily activities, it will make learning phonics easier and more fun for the young child.
Engaging your toddler in phonological play will help your child to pick up letter names and letter sounds. These will go towards helping him to build up the literacy foundation to decoding words at a later stage, which in turn will go toward helping him to read.
Toddlers and preschoolers are enthusiastic and energetic learners who love play and fun, so choose phonics toys that are educational, stimulating and fun!
LeapFrog has been creating award-winning educational toys to educate and inspire kids for years. Below, I'll share my reviews of a few of the more popular phonics toys by Leapfrog.
March 2015 Update: This is the new version of the Leapfrog Fridge Phonics. It features Tad the frog in a yellow bus. Besides the Alphabet song, this new version plays "Wheels on the Bus" song too.
Kaden has the older version featuring the dog, Scout and you can see it in the main photo shown above.
The Fridge Phonics comes with a magnetic tile reader and 26 magnetic letter tiles.
We were lucky that my friend gifted my baby son the Fridge Phonics when he was about six months old. Back then, as a new mom, I didn't realize it was such a popular educational toy and I also didn't expect that eventually it would be useful in introducing my son to phonics when he became a toddler.
Naturally when he was a baby, his fingers and motor skills were limited, so I was the one who "played" the Fridge Phonics for him to demonstrate the usage of the toy. There's an orange musical note button that plays the ABC song when pressed. So Kaden would press on it repeatedly. That occasionally saved me having to sing the ABC song to him repeatedly.
Over the months as Kaden grew bigger and developed his motor skills, he was able to manipulate and slot the chunky letter tile into the reader slot to activate the corresponding letter name and sound. I feel that this toy has helped him hone his fine motor skills and contribute to building up his phonemic awareness (letter sounds) skill.
All this time I didn't put up the Fridge Phonics on our fridge as it's a place I didn't let Kaden go into when he's younger. Instead, I stored the tile reader and the letter tiles in a box I've found around the house. Whenever Kaden wanted to play with it, I would open up the storage box for him to play.
When Kaden was about 3 years old, I started putting up the Fridge Phonics on our fridge door so he can play with it when I'm cooking in the kitchen. He would rearrange his letter tiles in the alphabetic order.
He just turned 4 in February 2015, and the Fridge Phonics is still in good working condition, and still stuck onto our fridge door. :) Now that he's slightly older, I would sometimes ask him to spell out very simple words using these letter tiles. He could also form his name with these letter tiles.
If you're looking for a phonics toy that has enduring factor, this would be it.
This phonics toy is created based on the award-winning Letter Factory DVDs (sold separately). Designed for children 2-5 years old, the Letter Factory Phonics includes 26 individual letter tiles that can be inserted into the Letter Factory reader. This is NOT magnetic.
Like the Fridge Phonics, when a letter tile is pressed in place into the reader unit, it will play a corresponding song and letter sound. Kids like to press on stuff repeatedly, and repetitive play will let your child practice phonics by learning letter names and sounds. That's what happened to Kaden.
Similar to the Fridge Phonics, the Letter Factory Phonics will introduce letter names, letter sounds and the Alphabet song to your tot or preschooler. It'll also polish her fine-motor skills.
The Letter Factory reader sits atop a bucket design that can store the letter tiles, making it portable and convenient to store away. The Fridge Phonics does not come with a storage box or bucket, so I find this is an attractive feature of the Letter Factory Phonics especially if you're looking for a toy you can take away with you on trips.
This is similar to the Letter Factory Phonics. It includes the letter tiles A-Z and the number tiles 1-10. The main difference is the 10 number tiles.
Similar to the Letter Factory Phonics, this reader unit sits atop a bucket which will hold and store all letter and number tiles. You can take the chance to teach your toddler to put the tiles back into the bucket after playing to keep all the pieces intact.
Like the above two phonics toys, it'll teach your toddler about letter names and sounds, and additionally learning to count from 1-10. This playset is NOT magnetic because I saw people who bought this set thinking it's magnetic like the Fridge Phonics.
Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder is also manufactured by LeapFrog. It comes with A-Z magnetic letter tiles and an additional 3 letter tiles so your child can spell words like "MOM". There are 3 learning modes: Load a Letter, Word Builder, and Word Hunt.
I feel that this phonics and word builder toy has more "grow with me" potential in that it not only teaches phonics, but also introduces the child to the concept of word building. Potentially, your child can build over 325 words with this playset!
Like the Fridge Phonics, this playset is magnetic and can be attached to any magnetic surfaces such as your fridge or magnetic board.
One trouble spot though, I have seen a number of complaints that some of the reader units misread some of the letter tiles incorrectly. So it could be a real problem when you're trying to teach your child the alphabet.
But for people who get the good units, they are more than happy with this word builder which sticks to the fridge and let the kid have hours of fun building up words.
If the defective misreading of letter tiles could be corrected for all units, I think this would make an even better choice than the Fridge Phonics.
March 2015 Update : It seems Leapfrog has discontinued manufacturing this model of toy, so I'm alarmed by the much higher prices this toy now commands. When I saw it, it was $104.95! So you might be better off with the new version of LeapFrog Fridge Phonics Magnetic Letter Set.


Gunners' improved finances allowing Wenger to shine.
With Arsenal looking set to confirm the signing of Alexis Sanchez from Barcelona shortly, Gunners fans can once again celebrate a real triumph in the transfer market to follow on from last summer's capture of Mesut Ozil.
After years of frustration in this particular department, with numerous player sales and bargain basement-style shopping for youngsters or other clubs' rejects, the club's recent arrivals show a real change of direction as the benefits of moving to the Emirates Stadium slowly start to pay off.
Crippling debt from building a new home ground stunted Arsene Wenger in the transfer market, leaving him to bring in players that even he surely knew deep down were not really good enough for a club of Arsenal's size. And yet, now, we can see quite how well he did with the resources he had, even if there are still points to nitpick at and things that could have been handled slightly differently.
Even with a new-found pot of cash, Wenger remains an astute player in the transfer market. The man that shone in almost a different era of football and, as such, different levels of money involved, is finally able to catch up with the market that has seen its prices inflated by the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. Once upon a time Wenger may have wowed us with finds such as Patrick Vieira, Thierry Henry and Robert Pires for a combined price of less than £20m, but the modern equivalent of Sanchez for under £30m or Santi Cazorla for £12m deserve just as much recognition. Even if Arsenal are able to be more competitive in the market again, they are staying sensible and still able to find a bargain.
Even Mesut Ozil at £42.5m could go on to be something of a steal for the north London giants. The German playmaker certainly hasn't hit his best form so far in his time in the Premier League, but the 25-year-old has a proven track record as one of the best creative players in the world, and the arrival of Sanchez should bring that out in him, as well as the benefits of an extra year in this country. When you consider that Tottenham Hotspur spent £30m on Erik Lamela, or Liverpool spent £25m on Adam Lallana to follow on from recent expensive mistakes such as the £35m Andy Carroll, then it's clear Wenger hasn't lost his touch.
The Frenchman deserves immense credit for sticking around through all the criticism – at times scathing and relentless – to see out his ambition for the club, and he is now enjoying the fruits of his labour with the ability to bring in Sanchez to play alongside Ozil and Cazorla. Quite an upgrade on a midfield of Eboue, Denilson and Diaby, I'm sure even he'd agree.
The acquisition of Sanchez also gives the Gunners a number of new dimensions to their attack. Given he is capable of playing on both flanks, in the number ten role, or up front, Wenger will now be able to select the Chilean, Olivier Giroud or Theo Walcott in the striker role.
As for Arsenal fans, they can now enjoy the hard work that has gone on behind the scenes as well, as their club return to their competitive best without resorting to ill thought-out spending sprees.


Patients with diffuse giant B-cell malignant neoplastic disease that's refractory to primary and second-line therapies or that has relapsed when stem-cell transplantation have a poor prognosis. The chimerical substance receptor (CAR) T-cell medical aid tisagenlecleucel targets and eliminates CD19-expressing B cells and showed efficaciousness against B-cell lymphomas during a single-center, part 2a study.
We conducted a global, phase 2, polar study of centrally factory-made tisagenlecleucel involving adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse giant B-cell unwellness} UN agency were ineligible for or had disease progression when autologous organic process stem-cell transplantation. the first finish purpose was the most effective overall response rate (i.e., the share of patients UN agency had a whole or partial response), as judged by Associate in Nursing freelance review committee.
A total of ninety three patients received Associate in Nursing infusion and were enclosed within the analysis of efficaciousness. The median time from infusion to knowledge cutoff was fourteen months (range, 0.1 to 26). the most effective overall response rate was fifty two (95% confidence interval, forty one to 62); fortieth of the patients had complete responses, and 12-tone music had partial responses. Response rates were consistent across prognostic subgroups. At twelve months when the initial response, the speed of relapse-free survival was calculable to be sixty five (79% among patients with a whole response). the foremost common grade three or four adverse events of interest group enclosed protein unharness syndrome (22%), medicine events (12%), cytopenias lasting quite twenty eight days (32%), infections (20%), and symptom leukopenia (14%). 3 patients died from illness progression at intervals thirty days when infusion. No deaths were attributed to tisagenlecleucel, protein unharness syndrome, or cerebral oedema. No variations between response teams in tumour expression of CD19 or immune checkpoint–related proteins were found.
Background: High dose therapy with autologous somatic cell transplantation (ASCT) is that the customary of care and unremarkably used procedure for patients with relapsed non Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL). there's no clear proof of superior acquisition regime and studies that examination completely different high dose regimens relating to the effectuality and toxicity profiles were very little.
Objectives: to check effectuality and toxicity profiles of BU/CY and herpes virus acquisition regimens in patients with relapsed NHL regular for ASCT.
Patients and Methods: Between Gregorian calendar month 2013 and January 2017, a complete of fifty patients were registered within the study, twenty five patients received herpes virus and 25 patients received BU/CY followed by ASCT in Bone Marrow Transplantation Center, Nasser Institute and El ruler zayed Hospitals, Egypt.
Results: The median time for each leukocyte and blood platelet engraftment showed no vital distinction between the 2 teams (p= .4) and (p=.3) severally. Transplant connected mortality (TRM) was less in herpes virus arm, however p worth didn't reach the applied mathematics distinction (p= .1). The 3- year DFS and OS were slightly higher in herpes virus arm. However, they didn't show any vital applied mathematics distinction seventy two.8% and 66.5%, (p =.81) and (p= .07). The toxicities, Grade III / IV mucositis, nausea/vomiting and symptom occurred slightly higher in BU/CY than within the herpes virus (16%, 24%, 8% vs. 12%, 16%, four respectively).Pulmonary toxicity was higher in BU/CY (3 patients (12%) in BU/CY arm and one patient (4%) in herpes virus arm). However, the toxicities didn't reach the applied mathematics distinction.

Ever since 1988 the hydrographical service of Austria has been monitoring the melting of glaciers and the run-off of the Obersulzbachkees, a glacier in the National Park Hohe Tauern in Salzburg in Austria. The surprising hot summer of 2003 triggered the hydrographical service to collect and present its finding in a series of posters.
Hi, I would suggest that you visit the visitor center at the Josef Höhe and the new wilderness area and look at the data right there in front of your eyes. It is a understatement to call the melting of the Grosshlockner Kees dramatic, it just stunning. Even here on the other side of the mountains the temperature is rising rapidly year to year and the tourism industry is feeling it, the floods are alarmibg so that just Salzburg is investing year after year more than 20 mio into flood control and is relocating houses from the red zones into other areas. The latest austrian studies actually state that the temp rise will be double as high in the alps due to the loss of the snow cover.
The 'long-term' monitoring results pick up the cold period around 1965, but end in the record heat-wave of 2003….with the time in between coinciding with the rise of a natural 80-year Atlantic oceanic cycle. Other neighbouring mountain areas – e.g. Sumava, in Czech Republic, have had flat temperatures for the last 10 years – so it would be interesting to see the data for Hohe Tauern and to know why that data does not extend beyond 2003.

County Council offices could be site of new health hub for Sleaford
Lincolnshire County Council offices, Sleaford. EMN-190904-135108001
Andy Hubbert
A Sleaford GP has revealed his practice may become the centre of a 'primary care hub' for patients in the Sleaford area.
The Lincolnshire Sustainability and Transformation Partnership, made up of various healthcare organisations in the county, has been developing a way to cater for a growing population with stretched resources while trying to improve outcomes, involving reducing hospital stays and treating more people in the community.
This has looked at hospital sites and their future sustainability, mental health care, GP care, and help for people coming out of hospital.
The Healthy Conversations listening exercise has been launched with various events this year to seek people's opinions on what shape this transformation should take.
Part of the proposals for the transformation sets out ambitions for a primary care hub for GP services, community nurses and health visitors, as well as social and mental health teams under one roof for a more joined-up service.
A Lincolnshire Sustainability and Transformation Partnership spokesman said: "As part of our vision for estates improvement in Lincolnshire's NHS, we have identified a number of areas we want to focus on, one of which is investment in primary care hubs, so that we can deliver the highest quality care to our patients. This work is at a relatively early stage."
Dr Kesavapillai Vijayan, senior partner at Millview Medical Centre in Sleaford, says he has been approached by Clinical Commissing Group officials to consider becoming the heart of a Sleaford care hub.
He said: "All services would be amalgamated together - it would be wonderful."
Dr Vijayan said the preferred location for this hub would be the site of the recently vacated county council offices on Eastgate. Council staff have mainly moved to the nearby joint fire and ambulance station.
He said: "There would be 11 consulting rooms. It is in the planning stage at the moment, but it is very exciting."
Practice manager Marcus Griffin added that funding was not yet in place at this stage: "There is still a council building on the site and it is estimated that it would be three years to create from the point of getting approval, so it could be up to seven years down the line yet, and there is every chance it could fall through, however we do need the space. We have already run out of rooms in our extension at Heckington."
Katie Gosling, the council's Property Strategy Service Manager, said: "The buildings on Eastgate were previously used by the council as office space, and we have retained a small area for our use.
"We're exploring other options for the long-term use of the site and buildings, including working with other public sector organisations."

I have experienced EscapeX's other rooms, The Attic and Mafia Heist. EscapeX is easily one of my favorite escape room companies in the OC due to their immersion and creativity. Anthony was our GM and has told us that he helped create this escape room. Anthony also told us that he has done over 400 escape rooms! GEEZE LOUISE!
The room had a linear puzzle flow and every single puzzle was fun. Due to the linearity of the room, this escape room is fit for beginners as well as smaller groups. This could definitely be a date night escape room for a couple. The puzzles were of the easy-medium difficulty range, however, each puzzle was solid and created with great detail.
The immersion of this escape room is on point! Loved the details they put into the room. The escape room maybe too small for 5-6 people as space is limited and the puzzle flow is linear. Many people would be around the same puzzle. There is a 16 year old age restriction because there are real weaponry used the escape room. Lastly, there's a possibility one won't escape alive even though the final task was completed.
The value of this escape room is incredibly high with it's price and escape experience.
Yes! EscapeX Rooms makes very immersive escape rooms and is easily on the top ones in the OC.

All the Ways Princess Margaret's, 21st Birthday Was, a Royally Fabulous Affair
Long before Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle became the center of royal attention, the queen's sister Princess Margaret captivated the public and garnered her fair share of headlines.
Although she was often known as the scandalous party princess – in contrast to her always-proper sister – Princess Margaret was still a beloved royal and an icon for a generation of girls. It seems only natural, then, that when the princess came of age in 1951, her 21st birthday party would be one to remember. Now that her prized birthday gown is on display in London, we're revisiting the details of the momentous occasion.
The centerpiece of the party, was, of course, what the princess was wearing, and Princess Margaret certainly did not disappoint. She selected a gown by French designer Christian Dior, made of creamy organza silk, featuring an off-the-shoulder cut and a massive, full skirt, and covered in detailed embroidery, sequins, and mother-of-pearl.
While her sister, the future Queen Elizabeth, had to be seen to be loyal only to British designers, Princess Margaret had more fashion options, and she took full advantage of that to utilize the talents of the top names in couture. In fact, she apparently loved this Dior gown so much that she wore it for multiple events.
"I imagine she had a very fun time in that dress," Museum of London assistant curator Connie Karol Burks told People at a preview of the exhibition that includes the gown. "It was one of her favorite dresses and she wore it more than once – there are photographs of her wearing it in Paris at an event later that year."
The princess's party had one shadow lingering over it: the worsening health of her father, King George VI. By the time Princess Margaret turned 21 in 1951, the king's many health issues – made worse by the stress of World War II and his heavy smoking habit – were piling up. Only a month after this party, in fact, he would undergo surgery to remove part of his left lung after cancer was found, and the princess would assist the rest of her family in picking up some of his duties. Her 21st would be the last birthday she spent with her father; he died in February 1952.
For the venue, the family chose the royals' Scottish estate of Balmoral. According to the castle's website, it entered royal possession in 1852, when Prince Albert bought the property for his wife, Queen Victoria, since the couple loved their visits to the Scottish Highlands so much.
The castle that stands there today is not, in fact, the original one: Albert and Victoria decided the existing castle was too small for their sprawling family, so they built a new castle on the grounds, which was completed in 1856. Since then, the royals have kept the estate as a favorite getaway. The Queen spends every summer there, according to Town and Country, and it is reportedly her favorite of the many royal residences.
Princess Margaret's 21st birthday was indeed memorable, both as one of the last celebrations the family enjoyed together and as an official introduction of the princess into society as an adult. Although her style definitely evolved over the years, her Dior gown remains a symbol of the young princess and the glamour of the royal family of the era.

Blind Contour Homage: Pratt by Marlene Lowden
Blind Contour Drawing "Dishcloth on Line #3 "
– Mary Pratt 1997
Mary Pratt had a fortunate beginning to life: she grew up on one of the most well regarded streets in Fredericton, New Brunswick. She was one of two daughters to a Harvard-educated provincial cabinet minister. Her maternal grandmother, Edna McMurray—one of Pratt's primary influences—was the co-founder of the first Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire (IODE) chapter in New Brunswick.
As a young woman, Pratt attended Mount Allison University, studying Fine Arts under Alex Colville, Ted Pulford, and Lawren P. Harris. It was Colville who influenced the development of her style and her subsequent move toward realism. Harris was less enthusiastic; when Pratt married the artist Christopher Pratt in her second year of university, Harris was quick to inform her that a marriage could only hold one artist—and she was not it.
Despite his forewarning, Pratt kept up her practice even after moving to Scotland so that her husband could attend the Glasgow School of Art. Over the next several years—in Scotland and after their return to Canada—the couple had four children. Despite the limited time available, Pratt continued to paint. Frustrated by the busy obligations and limited terrain of motherhood, she eventually took inspiration from the domestic sphere, focusing on the ordinary things around her home in rural Newfoundland. She began to experiment with the use of light, noticing the charged quality of ordinary objects when they were regarded from new perspectives. Finding she couldn't sketch quickly enough before the light changed, Pratt started taking photographs of objects that caught her eye. When the slides were returned months later, she would choose only those objects that seemed to carry what she called an "erotic charge." Then, she would paint, using the photos that retained that special quality that she loved.
Although Pratt started to show her work in 1967, it was these portrayals of the mundane objects populating women's domestic lives that brought her national recognition in the 1970s.
In 1996, Pratt was named Companion of the Order of Canada. In 1997, she was awarded the Molson Prize for visual artists from the Canada Council for the Arts. In 2013, she was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. She was awarded nine honorary degrees from various Canadian universities. Pratt was also the first Atlantic woman to have a solo exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada.
Yet, her numerous accolades accompany a life that was sometimes troubled. Her marriage was filled with turmoil, ending in 2004. She also suffered severe near-sightedness, which is reflected in the focal depth of her paintings. By middle age, rheumatoid arthritis made it difficult for her to walk and use her hand. Despite these challenges, Pratt continued to paint until her late 70s.

I had long forgotten about this, but recently found it in my records. Last September I began to understand that the glory of God was getting close, and so we began to prepare our hearts accordingly.
We saw that God was intending for us to eat a balanced diet of quail and manna as the pattern in Exodus 16 shows. The "quail" is to KNOW that God has brought us out of Egypt, and to know that God's intent was to bring us into the Promised Land. In other words, we must understand the purpose of Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles.
The "manna" is about seeing the glory of God. This part of the diet is more experiential and gives us the authority and power to implement the divine plan according to the heart of God.
5 As for the promise which I made when you came out of Egypt, My Spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear! 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts, "Once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations; and I will fill this house with glory," says the Lord of hosts.
27 And this expression, "Yet once more," denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, in order that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
The glory of God is not just a matter of filling a stadium to watch the spectacle. It is not a show; it is a life-changer. The world will never again be the same after this monster quake in Japan. The shaking included "the sea also," as Haggai tells us, because the tsunami formed an even larger part of this disaster.
Vinnie's personal experience gave him an understanding of what that means. His presence will drive away all that is not of Him, all "those things which can be shaken." But at the same time, it is an overwhelming Love. In other words, the glory of God will destroy all that is not of Him, but it gives LIFE to that part of you (your Spirit) that cannot be shaken.
27 Then the sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will serve and obey Him.
The saints are being given "jurisdiction" (C.V.), and "they will safeguard the kingdom unto the eon" (Dan. 7:18, C.V.). I like that translation, because it brings out the fact that the overcomers are not tyrants, but stewards of the throne of God, called to "safeguard the kingdom" in a mature and responsible manner.
We are living in the season of this transfer of jurisdiction from the kingdoms of men to the saints of the Most High. Knowing this, we ought to be watchful to see how God undermines and gradually destroys the kingdoms who have usurped the throne of Jesus Christ, who is the Heir of all things.
At the same time, we ought to prepare our hearts to replace these world rulers. But to do so, we must know His plan, and our hearts must be in agreement with Him.
Ten years ago on March 22-24, 2001, we engaged in a prayer campaign which the Lord called "He is Building Effective Apostleship." In Acts 2, Pentecost transformed the disciples into apostles. The word "apostle" means "one who is sent," or one who is commissioned.
The disciples were instructed to go into the whole world and preach the gospel to everyone (Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:15). Yet Jesus also told them to "stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high" (Luke 24:49). They had the call, but had to await the commission. The day of Pentecost was the day of their commissioning.
Under that Pentecostal anointing, they did preach the gospel to many parts of the world. Their successors went out after them and extended the world to the present time. There have always been apostles sent to preach the Word, but the work remains unfinished to this day.
In my view, Pentecost's anointing is insufficient to finish the work and to fulfill the Great Commission. It was a good start, and no man can bypass either Passover or Pentecost on this journey, but because Pentecost was a leavened feast and only an "earnest" of the Spirit, it would later have to give way to the greater anointing that comes through the feast of Tabernacles. This is the glory of the Lord that we now seek, prophesied by Haggai alongside of a great shaking of the heavens and the earth.
We are now the temple of God that is to be filled with the glory of the Lord. Our pattern is seen at the dedication of Solomon's temple, which was filled with His glory at the feast of Tabernacles (2 Chron. 7; 1 Kings 8).
The "effectiveness" of the apostolic calling in our time is based upon our expectation of a greater glory that comes through this third and final feast of Israel. But there is more to it than that.
Usually, when the glory of God came in the Old Testament, it came as fire to accept a sacrifice. In the New Testament context, we ourselves are the "living sacrifice" being presented to God to be accepted of Him by fire. See Romans 12:1. That acceptance is God's sanction of the people and the word (gospel) that is in them.
18 Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation. 20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were entreating through us; we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
The early Church preached this gospel which Paul calls "the word of reconciliation." Certainly, Paul did. To be precise, he preached the word of conciliation. The Greek word is katallaso. It is a military term, where one side declares a unilateral ceasefire and sues for peace, asking the other side to reciprocate so there can be reconciliation.
Reconciliation occurs when both sides are conciliated.
Paul's "word of conciliation" is that God has dropped all charges against the world, "not counting their trespasses against them." He did this on account of Christ's death on the cross, which paid the debt for the world's sin.
2 and He Himself is the propitiation [covering of the mercy seat] for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
Paul's gospel was universal reconciliation, instigated by God, empowered by His Love, overwhelming and utterly unfailing in its power and ability to succeed.
By that gospel, the Roman Empire was overcome. But when the Church ceased to feel the fire of persecution, the leaven in the Pentecostal feast began to grow. Eventually, the pure gospel of the conciliation was replaced by a new gospel, where fear replaced love, and the power of hell was used to coerce men into believing in Jesus.
Men did not seem to care that Paul referenced hell only once, and that was to proclaim Christ's victory over it (1 Cor. 15:55). In that verse hades is translated "grave" in the King James Version.
Paul's gospel appealed to the love of God, not the fear of torture. He presented the carrot, not the stick. He was true to the word of conciliation in his entire ministry, telling all men of what Christ had done on the cross for them, and how God was in Christ conciliating the world to Himself.
As carnal thinking arose in the Church, the leaders thought it was necessary to teach fear in order to restrain the Christians from sinning. They also found it useful in keeping men under their control by claiming the right to consign any man to hell who might disagree with the official version of truth.
The gospel thus became perverted in a way that seemed right to men, but which did not accurately reveal the mind and heart of God. In more recent years such a fear gospel has saved a few and has driven away multitudes.
This alteration in the gospel then found it necessary to reject the long-standing belief in Universal Reconciliation that was held by the vast majority of the Church in the first five centuries. When the Western Roman Empire fell in 476, the educational system was fully disrupted, and soon illiteracy reigned supreme—even among the priests—and the Scriptures retreated into the dark monasteries. The people had little access to them, and the people had to depend fully upon the priests to hear the word. But the priests were mainly schooled in rituals and incantations, not in the knowledge of the Word, and Church services offered only a few bread crumbs of the Word for the next thousand years.
When the Protestant movement began, a few began to rediscover Universal Reconciliation, but by this time the majority assumed that the doctrine of eternal torment had been the foundation of apostolic teaching from the start.
So the missionary movements of both Catholics and Protestants continued to be based upon the word of eternal torment, rather than the word of conciliation. Hence, their effectiveness as apostles of Christ was limited. It is remarkable that they were able to accomplish as much as they did, but anyone who has attended college knows how many students have rejected Christ, not so much because of Darwinism, but because of the injustice of God as He has been presented to them.
Ten years ago we fought a prayer campaign to build effective apostleship. According to the ten-year "Hezekiah Factor," we are just now seeing a clearer picture of what that meant.
On March 15 a new book was released, written by pastor Rob Bell, entitled: Love Wins. It is very well written, asks many very good questions, and presents a simple version of Universal Reconciliation. It is not a theology book, nor even an in-depth Bible study, but I can see that it is a very good starting point for beginners.
His questions create a need for answers—answers that the Church has difficulty answering—about the character of God, the nature of hell, and its aionian duration. This will inevitably create a need for more in-depth answers, and we ought to be ready to answer those questions.
More importantly, though, we must be ready to present to all men the true character and heart of God, so that He is not misrepresented when men look at our lives to see Christ in us.
The fact that Love Wins has been released in March of 2011 tells us that this is a major foundation in the divine plan to build effective apostleship. God is preparing the world to see His glory, to know His heart, to understand His plan for creation, and to hear the word of conciliation.
An effective apostle is not one who has a big church or a million-dollar budget, but one who accurately portrays the heart of God to those who know Him not. The heart-cry of the apostle Paul is still relevant to us today: "that I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection" (Phil. 3:10).
Love Wins is a book whose publication at this particular time in history makes it a primary answer to prayer from our spiritual battle March 22-24, 2001. It helps define the battle-line issues only dimly understood at the time.
The good news (for us) is that we won that battle ten years ago, and we are just now seeing solid evidence that proves our victory. I believe this book will bring many secret Reconciliationists out into the open. Many will find courage in the face of persecution and loss of positions in their denominations. But it will soon become apparent that the majority of the theologians of most denominations have believed in Universal Reconciliation for a long time but were afraid to admit it.
I recall many years ago hearing of a poll taken among theologians and top leaders of various denominations about their beliefs. Universal Reconciliation was believed by no less than 40% of them and in some denominations it was as high as 70%.
They understood this personally, but were content to allow their parishioners to believe in eternal torment. They did not want to rock the boat.
Christian publishers even were willing to practice some deception by editing the writings to remove all references to their belief in Universal Reconciliation. For example, Andrew Murray, the well beloved author of a century ago, taught Reconciliation, but his writings were edited to hide this fact.
The same has occurred with Hannah Whitall Smith. Her testimony how the Lord revealed this to her was written in her autobiography, The Unselfishness of God as originally published. Chapters 21-23 were edited out of later editions to hide her belief in Universal Reconciliation.
It seems that men love the depth of understanding and the heart of God in these old writers, but they do not like the revelation that was the source of their inspiration and knowledge of the heart of God.
I believe, however, that Love Wins is going to show the world that Universal Reconciliation is not just a cult in the corner. It is not the heresy that later Church Councils proclaimed it to be, beginning in the fifth century. It is the revelation of God's plan and the day for which all creation groans in travail (Rom. 8:20-23).
Which Gospel will God Accept by Fire?
During Saul's Pentecostal Kingdom in the past 40 Jubilees of Church history, it was not yet time for the divine plan to reach its apex. Saul could be oppressive and even rebellious, yet he could still prophesy truth.
But we have now come to the next phase of the Kingdom of God. Saul has died, and David has come to the throne. It is a new era, and a new world. The Kingdom of God is emerging with greater clarity and power. The Passover Age was empowered by God's presence that came down on Sinai; the Pentecostal Age was empowered by the fire of God in the upper room. We are now at the beginning of the Tabernacles Age, where we will see a third manifestation of power as the fire of God accepts and sanctions the word of conciliation for the age to come.
We are pressing in to this even now. We pray for it. We fight for it in spiritual warfare. We follow the leading of the Spirit as He shows us what to do and where to go in preparing the way for the greater glory that is coming.
I believe that this glory will begin an era of irresistible evangelism. When the glory of God is poured out, no man will be able to resist its power. No power of the flesh will stand in its presence. No king, president, or prime minister will be able to use His glory for personal gain.
It is coming, and no man can stop it. All we can do is to prepare ourselves so that we are not shaken as badly as the rest of the world. There is a great shaking about to take place. The more we prepare our hearts today, the less we will be shaken tomorrow.
I believe that the feast of Tabernacles will be fulfilled on a historic level at some point in time. It will be a historic event which, like Pentecost before it, will mark the start of a massive earth change. How much of this will we see ahead of time? I do not know, but I will take all I can get.
There are two sides to this: receiving His glory, and administering it to others. We must have it to give it. The Spirit has ebbed and flowed during the Age of Pentecost. Revivals have broken out here and there, each for a season but none permanently. It has continually followed the biblical pattern of the glory seen in Leviticus 9 and then lost overnight in Leviticus 10. When the fire went out, the priests lit it themselves, only to find that "strange fire" was unacceptable to God.
Whatever God does is real. Whatever man does is just a look-alike and a counterfeit that has no value with God, even if we feel good that we are "doing something." Our job is to present ourselves as living sacrifices that are fully acceptable to Him for divine service (Rom. 12:1). God spoke this to me during the San Francisco conference, and I realized that this was what we were doing there. We would indeed see a measure of His glory at the meetings, confirmed by the tsunami at the beginning, but yet in the bigger picture it represented the presentation of the sacrifice of Elijah in 1 Kings 18:30-33.
The sacrifice was soaked with water three times before the glory of God fell upon it. It is unclear at this time how this might be fulfilled in our time.

How are OPC and Vitamin C Effective against Coronavirus?
How to Stop Covid with early Treatments?
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been declared one of the top ten global threats to human public health, and it has not disappeared with the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
So far, only Catastrophic Effects
Antibiotics given to COVID-19 Patients "Just in Case
Antibiotics as a " Routine" Part of COVID-19 Treatment
Overuse of Antibiotics Can Damage Immunity
Excessive use of Biocides and Disinfectants
Gut Microbiome Affects Immune Response to COVID
Isolation Disrupts Your Immune Response
New Antibiotics Likely Won't Save Us
Instead, it has worsened as infection control measures and hand hygiene with antimicrobial gels have become ubiquitous.
AMR causes about 700,000 deaths worldwide each year, but researchers estimated in mid-2020 that there would be an additional 130,000 AMR deaths in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. AMR deaths are likely to exceed COVID-19 deaths by at least threefold by 2050. Some estimates suggest that AMR deaths could reach as many as 10 million deaths per year.
Prior to the pandemic, antibiotic stewardship programs were established around the world to stop the improper use of antibiotics in hospitals, nursing homes, and other settings. However, a study by scientists at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Iran published in Frontiers in Microbiology predicts that overuse of antibiotics, biocides and disinfectants to combat COVID-19 "can have catastrophic effects." In addition, overuse of antibiotics may also directly affect the immune response.
Remember that COVID-19 is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which means that antibiotics are useless against this virus. Nevertheless, antibiotics were used prophylactically in COVID-19 patients throughout the pandemic, typically with the logic that this might prevent bacterial co-infections.
However, the rate of secondary bacterial co-infection was generally low, while antibiotic use remained high. In a study of 38 Michigan hospitals, 56.6% of patients with COVID-19 were given antibiotics at the start of their stay, but only 3.5% of them had a bacterial infection.
"For every patient who eventually tested positive for both SARS-Cov2 and a coexisting bacterial infection, 20 other patients received antibiotics, which turned out to be unnecessary," said Dr. Valerie Vaughn, the study's lead author. Other studies have found similar evidence of rampant overuse of antibiotics.
In a study of 99 COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, China, 71% were treated with antibiotics, but only 1% had bacterial co-infections. Overall, it is estimated that 1% to 10% of patients with COVID-19 develop bacterial co-infections, yet antibiotics remained the mainstay of treatment in the majority of cases.
Despite decades of efforts to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use, one of the largest studies of antibiotic use in hospitalized COVID-19 patients found that these drugs are used indiscriminately and inappropriately in COVID-19. More than half (52%) of the approximately 5000 patients included in the study received antibiotics, and more than one antibiotic was given in 36% of cases.
In most cases, 96% of the time, the antibiotics were given before a bacterial infection was confirmed, either on admission or within the first 48 hours of hospitalization. As it turned out, only 20% actually had a suspected or confirmed bacterial infection for which the antibiotics would have been indicated. The rest received them unnecessarily. The Frontiers in Microbiology researchers stated:
"It is worth highlighting that the inappropriate use of antibiotics during this global outbreak could significantly and silently lead to the development of AMR. Unfortunately, recent studies show that in several countries, frequent and extensive use of antibiotics in COVID-19 hospitalized patients is considered part of the routine treatment package."
Even the World Health Organization made it clear that countries were at risk of accelerated spread of AMR due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They cited data showing that antibiotic use increased during the pandemic. About 79% to 96% of people who reported taking antibiotics did not have COVID-19 but were taking them in hopes of preventing infection, even though antibiotics are not effective against viral infections.
Antibiotics can cause a number of serious adverse effects, a little-known one being damage to your mitochondria, which are closely linked genetically to bacteria. Your mitochondria are responsible for most of your cellular energy production and also play a role in antibacterial and antiviral immune responses – and they are an external target of certain antibiotics known to inhibit mitochondrial activity, DNA synthesis and biogenesis.
"Thus, antibiotic therapy could be an important and not well appreciated cause of mitochondrial dysfunction. This, in turn, may weaken the immune response against COVID-19 infection," the review paper presented. In April 2020, the researchers called for an "urgent rethink" when it comes to antibiotics against COVID-19, noting:
…mitochondria are vulnerable to antibacterial treatments and disrupt their physiology. Inhibiting these processes with antibiotics could make the immune system less able to fight acute viral infections with COVID-19."
The COVID-19 pandemic will drive up antimicrobial-resistant diseases because the overuse of antibiotics has been accompanied by the excessive and generous use of antimicrobial products such as household and industrial disinfectants, hand sanitizers, and other cleaning products.
The implications are immense and only beginning to be understood. There are potential adverse human health effects from inhalation of disinfectants, as such chemicals are known to accumulate in the lungs, liver, kidneys, stomach, brain, and blood. Exposure was certainly elevated during the pandemic for many people who were exposed to disinfectants via the inhalation and oral routes, as well as through the skin and eyes.
There are also significant environmental concerns due to the "unusual release and dispersal of higher concentrations of biocide-based products into surface and groundwater and wastewater treatment systems" during the pandemic. When disinfectants and biocides enter the environment, they can wipe out beneficial bacterial species that keep drug-resistant microorganisms at bay.
"When biocide concentrations reach the subminimum inhibitory concentration (sub-MIC), this event can increase selection pressure, promote horizontal gene transfer (HGT), and drive AMR evolution," the scientists warn.
A team from Plymouth University in England also conducted a risk assessment to determine the potential environmental impact of prescribing antibiotics to COVID-19 patients. They concluded, "The data for amoxicillin suggest a potential environmental problem for AMR selection." The team urged that such assessments be conducted in the future to keep track of the potentially catastrophic effects of prescribing habits on AMR.
Antibiotics disrupt the gut microbiome, which has far-reaching implications for overall health, including the immune system's ability to fight COVID-19 – further evidence that indiscriminate antibiotic use is counterproductive.
When researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong analyzed the composition of the gut microbiome of 100 patients with COVID-19, they found that gut bacteria known to modulate the immune system were low compared to people without the infection. The composition of the patients' gut bacteria – both quantity and diversity – influenced the severity of COVID-19 infection as well as the immune response.
An imbalanced gut microbiome could also contribute to the inflammatory symptoms associated with "long COVID," in which symptoms persist for months after infection.
According to the Study:
"Given reports that a subset of recovered patients with COVID-19 have persistent symptoms of fatigue, dyspnea, and joint pain, some beyond 80 days after the initial onset of symptoms, we postulate that the dysbiotic gut microbiome may contribute to immune-related health problems after COVID-19."
In the study, 50% to 75% of patients received antibiotics, while less than 7% had bacterial infections. While the researchers found no difference in outcomes with or without antibiotics, the drugs were not associated with improved patient outcomes and, they noted, "it is still possible that a higher prevalence of antibiotic administration in severe and critical patients could exacerbate inflammation.
Of all the negative effects of social isolation during the pandemic, the impact on your immune system may be the last to come to mind, even though it's among the most important for your future health. What does staying home have to do with your immune system?
It changes the 24-hour light-dark cycle your body is designed to respond to. When you spend more time indoors, you are less exposed to sunlight and have less opportunity to produce vitamin D, which activates the macrophages in your lungs that act as the first line of defense against respiratory infections, among other immune activities.
It's true that taking vitamin D supplements can compensate for this somewhat, provided your vitamin D levels are optimized, but other negative effects of being on lockdown are less easily remedied. Take exercise, another critical component of a well-oiled immune response, which can reduce stress levels and diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes that are associated with worsening COVID-19 outcomes.
But even beyond that, staying indoors means you're not spending regular time in nature, which has its own benefits for the immune system. Trees release phytoncides that humans inhale and are known to alter natural killer cells. For this reason, in Japan, shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, is said to improve immune function – but it's hard to spend much time in the forest when you're cooped up at home.
The other factor that can't be ignored is the lack of exposure to everyday dirt and germs, which you miss if you stay at home, socially distant and sanitized. "Our immune system needs a job," Dr. Meg Lemon, a Denver dermatologist, told The New York Times. "We've evolved over millions of years to have our immune systems under constant attack. Now they have nothing to do.
What's perhaps most troubling is that this comment was made in March 2019 – before the pandemic. Now it's exponentially worse, and your immune system is likely missing interactions with bacteria and other microorganisms that teach it, train it how to respond, and keep it on standby for life.
Without regular "training," your immune system can overreact when triggered by normally harmless substances, leading to allergies and inflammation. Could a generation of children kept isolated and masked have immunological effects when exposed to common childhood viruses after a pandemic?
Already, cases of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which normally circulates in winter, have emerged in the summer months, suggesting a possible increased immunological vulnerability.
There are 43 antibiotics in clinical development, but none of them show promise for solving the rapidly increasing AMR because innovation has stagnated-most of the "new" antibiotics being brought to market are variations of drug classes that have been around since the 1980s. In addition, according to the WHO's annual Antibacterial Pipeline Report, the antibiotics currently in development are insufficient to combat AMR:
"The 2020 report shows a nearly static pipeline with only a few antibiotics approved by regulatory agencies in recent years. Most of these agents in development offer limited clinical benefit compared to existing treatments, with 82% of recently approved antibiotics being derivatives of existing antibiotic classes with well-established drug resistance. Therefore, rapid development of resistance to these new agents can be expected."
Another problem is that hospital reimbursement systems make it difficult to use expensive new antibiotics because they are only reimbursed up to a certain point. That means patients may be given older drugs that don't work as well to protect the hospital from financial loss.
Legislation to reform this situation – the Developing an Innovative Strategy for Antimicrobial Resistant Microorganisms Act – has been introduced to allow the use of new, targeted antibiotics against superbug infections. Preserving the efficacy of existing antibiotics are also important, and the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture cannot be ignored in this equation.
Globally, most antibiotics are used not for human diseases or pets, but for farm animals. In the International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents, researchers noted that "the ongoing pandemic is pushing the limits of optimal antibiotic stewardship and called for an end to unnecessary antimicrobial use.
So be sure to avoid antibiotics whenever they are not absolutely necessary. In addition, by choosing organic foods, including grass-fed meats and dairy products, you can avoid exposure to antibiotic residues in your diet while supporting food producers who do not contribute to AMR.
You should also be careful when using disinfectants and sanitizers, using them sparingly and only when really necessary, which – if you are outside of a hospital – is unlikely to be the case.

There are no other messages after that.  I thought it was maybe just Ubuntu 12.10 so I installed Linux Mint 14 and sure enough exact same thing happens.
I've tried removing authorized_keys from the remote server but that didn't change anything.

Giovannona Coscialunga disonorata con onore è un film italiano del 1973 diretto da Sergio Martino.

Trama
L'industriale del Norditalia, commendator La Noce, proprietario di un caseificio situato in Sicilia, finisce sotto inchiesta per inquinamento ambientale. Si mette perciò alla ricerca di protezione politica, e viene consigliato da un monsignore locale di rivolgersi all'onorevole siciliano Pedicò, noto sessuomane con l'abitudine di insidiare donne sposate, conquistandone la simpatia con l'offerta delle grazie della propria moglie, oltre a una lauta mazzetta.

La Noce non è intenzionato a servirsi di sua moglie, che tra l'altro appare inizialmente come una rigida bigotta di scarsa avvenenza, per cui incarica il proprio segretario Albertini di sostituirla con una accompagnatrice. Dopo alcuni esilaranti tentativi a vuoto, il ragionier Albertini arruola Cocò, una prostituta dal fisico prorompente ma dall'eloquio dialettale impossibile, incontrata per strada.

Superata l'iniziale diffidenza di La Noce, viene organizzato il "casuale" incontro della "moglie" del commendatore con l'onorevole Pedicò durante un viaggio in vagone letto diretto in Sicilia, dove si ritrovano tutti i protagonisti della storia, in una girandola da commedia degli equivoci.

It is very soft and comfortable for me and my spouse and we have never had a better sleep since buying it. It is the best mattress I have ever owned and I respect this brand highly. I wish there were more variety in the sizes of the mattress. The height is a bit tall but other than that it is a good mattress with no issues at all. The issue I mentioned is not important at all and I do not mind it. This brand is very great and me and my wife love it and prefer it over any other brands. We love it and will buy this brand even more times in the future.
Soft and very comfortable. I am able to sleep easily and wake up very refreshed it is an overall great experience and I got the mattress at a very fair price range. Just the right softness. Comfort while sleeping. Waking up refreshed and it is an overall great experience and the price range was indeed fantastic and great quality as well.
I loved the way the mattress felt on my back. I also loved its sleek design and comforting look. It was exactly what I was looking for. I didn't even have to look further, because I found the one that day. The mattress I purchased was a bit too bulky. It was huge. I had a tough time getting it into my room. I wish they weren't so thick. The mattress also had a bit of a sour smell to it at first. A little febreeze and it was a gone, though. I chose this mattress brand because I loved the quality of the mattress. It felt so good. The best brand yet. The other mattress brands really didn't have the same feeling I got when I laid on this one. It was magical.
I had used the same brands of mattresses, besides my wife also liked this brand so we proceeded to buy this mattress. It should be a soft mattress, something large, and should be made of hypo-allergenic materials since it suffered from allergies and asthma. I also like that they sell in so many variety of colors and materials. However, I dislike the heavy mattress. It is very difficult to clean it. I dislike that I could not choose better finish or print of the model that I bought but that is already by a decision of my wife.
Zenhaven had a nice discount at a time. It was very affordable and had really nice reviews. It also looks pretty good. It was very soft and comfortable. It's also very durable as well. It just looks like a reliable mattress that will never let me down and is just worth the purchase.
How do I know I can trust these reviews about Zenhaven?
It is the most comfortable mattress that I have purchased. In fact, I purchased more than one after the first one to put in the other rooms in the house. I would buy this again in a few years when I need to replace the current one. I highly recommend it.
I like the fact there is little to no noise, I like how it doesn't matter if you flip it or not. However, when you roll near the edge feels like it wants to just give out. A little more support and it would be divine. All in all it is a quality mattress that I would recommend to other people. You sleep really well on it and you can't beat the warranty. Plus, the quality for the price is nearly unmatched. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.
I chose this mattress over others because of the innovation. It came with a warranty and the store salesman said I could return it within 30 days if I didn't like it. The adjustable base for the Zenhaven mattress is very convenient because it has an even distribution of pressure through the body. It comes with a one-touch remote and zero gravity support along with wall hugging feautures. I like how comfortable it is and I can normally fall asleep instantly. Normally when I use to go to sleep in other beds, I use to get very bad back pains but with the Zenhaven mattress I don't have back pain anymore.
Zenhaven came highly recommended by a close friend. I like the price for the quality. I like the way it is delivered in a box and was able to purchase one for myself and one for my child with free shipping. I wish the mattress was a more standard size though. I had an expensive cooling mattress cover that was purchased with my previous mattress a year earlier. I would like to be able to use it but it does not fit properly even they are both full mattresses. Still, I'm very satisfied and recommend to others.
Zenhaven is one of the more modern brand names out there. Also, I think it is a very dependable company brand. I think other mattress brands are good, but I think Zenhaven is a good mattress company also. I would like the company to make a portable version. I go camping on occasion and would like to bring one with me. I would trust the brand to make a lot of other products, not just a mattress for at home. The mattress is really comfortable. I get a good night's rest every night. I feel energized and ready for the day when I wake up in the morning.
I chose this mattress in large part because of certain recommendations that I received from both friends and family who have experience with the brand. Also, had a sales associate who was able to go over many of the qualities of the mattress that helped seal the deal. The overall cost of the mattress might sway some people away from the brand and on to something that was a little more affordable overall. But overall, well worth the purchase price. I like the overall comfort and quality of this mattress. Very reliable. Peace of mind knowing I am going to get the same night's sleep a year from now as I do today. Was able to choose the right fit for me as well in regards to firmness of the mattress.
I liked the look and feel of this mattress while I was shopping in stores for a new mattress to replace my old mattress. Plus, the salesman was really good at praising the value of this brand. It has the right balance of softness and firmness to ensure I can relax and get a good night's sleep. I cannot say enough good things about this brand and my experience with the brand. It has been an enjoyable experience owning this mattresses. I in fact would recommend this mattress to my family and friends.


Subcontractors working on M+, the West Kowloon Cultural District's contemporary art museum, have been paid by the government-appointed management authority instead of by the main contractor. Lawmakers expressed concerns that the arrangement was not properly approved, and may reflect financial trouble on the part of the main contractor.
According to a letter dated February 7, 2017 sent by the main contractor Hsin Chong Construction Company Limited, interim payments to subcontractors would be paid directly by the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA), the statutory body overseeing the District. The letter stated that the measure was adopted temporarily to address concerns of "unfounded" negative media coverage.

Hsin Chong was awarded the contract for the main works at M+ in September 2015 after a selective tendering process. The contract was worth HK$5.9 to HK$6 billion, and funding for the construction was approved by the Legislative Council's Finance Committee.
In 2017, Hsin Chong was reported to be late on various payments, owing up to HK$30 million to construction workers at M+. Its parent company, Hsin Chong Group Holdings Limited, has been delisted from the stock exchange since last April.
Hsin Chong confirmed to HKFP that the payment method was altered, but did not disclose the total amount paid under the new arrangement or whether the arrangement remains in place.

Hsin Chong said WKCDA paid subcontractors in lieu "to ensure they remain confident in the project and will continue their work." The WKCDA will then reduce its payment to Hsin Chong accordingly.
Henry Tang Ying-yen, chairman of the WKCDA Board, told Ming Pao on Monday that the change in payment method was approved by the Board and with the government's knowledge.
"During our report to the Legislative Council last year, we already confirmed that [WKCDA] directly paid subcontractors. This was to ensure the whole M+ construction could progress smoothly," Tang said.
"In this case, understanding the situation with respect to the contractor… we took a view, with the Board's approval, that it was appropriate for us to take this approach," Pescod said.
Lawmaker Edward Lau, chairman of the Joint Subcommittee to Monitor the Implementation of the West Kowloon Cultural District Project, said that the arrangement was "inappropriate" because it creates confusion between the parties. Since the main contractor was no longer responsible for paying subcontractors, it was unclear who should be held accountable if problems occur, he said.
"The government has no direct contract with any of the subcontractors, so it should not pay them directly. It sets a bad precedent… and may open up the government to risks and liabilities," Lau said.
The Joint Subcommittee's deputy chairman Tanya Chan said that the arrangement amounted to "special treatment" by the WKCDA. She added that, if the main contractor faced financial difficulties, the correct government response was to restart the tendering process.
HKFP has reached out to the WKCDA for comment.
