Both Martin Lawrence and Will Smith already confirmed a third Bad Boys blockbluster was on its way. Now, we know when it'll hit theaters. Go inside for the release date, plus deets on New Edition/RBRM (minus Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill) heading out on tour inside...
Bad Boys For Life!
The long awaited Bad Boys reunion is going down. And now we know when we'll get to see it.
17 years after Bad Boys II hit theaters, Martin Lawrence and Will Smith will be reuniting for the third installment of the franchise. The first Bad Boys film hit theaters in 1995. And it's a cult classic.
The action packed buddy cop film is appropriately titled Bad Boys For Life and it'll hit theaters January 17, 202, according to Sony Pictures. Hard to believe it's been 17 years since the last Bad Boys movie.
In 2014, Martin confirmed the action comedy film trilogy is on the way.
"I believe so. Yes. I just talked to Jerry Bruckheimer yesterday and he said its real, they're working on the script, they're getting close and it all looks good," the actor said during an interview on "Conan."
In 2016, Will confirmed that the movie was happening. The Concussion star told BBC Radio 1Xtra, "I hadn't seen him for about two years, and we just looked at each other. We hugged and in that moment we both knew we were making another Bad Boys. So we're definitely doing another one."
Both Bad Boys For Life and Bad Boys 4 were announced in August 2015. At that time, Bad Boys For Life was supposed to hit theaters in February 2017, which was then pushed back to early 2018 and then November 2018. By August 2017, neither movie was on Sony's schedule of releases.
Directing duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah (Black, Gangsta) will helm the film. Original Director Joe Caranhan cut ties with the film and there was doubt if the movie would be made. "I don't think we're going to get one," Martin Lawrence said at the time. "Not the way everything's turning out. Will is off doing another movie, and I don't think it's going to happen."
But, you can't keep a Bad Boy down! We're HERE for it! Are you?
In other throwback news...
Better late than never, right?
A version of New Edition is about to head out on tour, a little over a year after their biopic "The New Edition Story" slayed television ratings. Ronnie DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ricky Bell, and Mike Bivens have teamed up to give the fans the tour they had been begging for since the biopic dropped.
Unfortunately, the guys weren't able to get bandmates Ralph Tresvant and Johnny Gill. We're shocked Bobby signed on though. Let's hope he makes it to rehearsals and won't be struggling on stage like he has in the past.
Right now, RBRM is set to rock the stage on Atlanta on May 18th, Detroit on June 16th and they're supposedly set to head out on a world tour in September, according to Bobby.
Ronnie and Ricky also posted the announcement:
Mike hasn't posted, but he did post this recently:
Will you be filling a seat on the RBRM Tour?

Barricades by Ruby & Kinoi
Ruby & Kinoi recently released the single, 'Barricades', which is about humanity's disconnect and discontent from each other and the need to come together, open our hearts, and heal. 'Barricades' is an upbeat and uplifting anthem of hope. It urges humanity to come together to build a better and brighter future and after the heaviness of last year it's a message we all need! From the enlivened backing choir to the impassioned vocals Ruby delivers with vigor and finesse, 'Barricades' is this generations call to action anthem of hope and love. I'm all for it! Here's what Kinoi had to say about 'Barricades':
Kinoi explains "For too long we have been losing touch with one other, from the planet, from our own wellbeing and from our own empathy with fellow humans. We need to reflect and reassess which path is the right path. It's important that now, more than ever, we make room for love and empathy in our hearts. To reconnect with other people; their needs, hopes and hurts and how our actions, or inactions, impact them".
Ruby added:
"We believe it's time to get back to what is actually important for us as humans. A time to return – to humanity, community, empathy and love. There have been some touching examples of local action and grassroots change. Those local heroes who have lent a helping hand for each other. These stories shouldn't be a surprise, they should be our everyday."
Well said! What are you waiting for go listen to 'Barricades'! You can watch the music video for 'Barricades' down below.

- City Fajr Shuruq Duhr Asr Magrib Isha
- Dubai 05:31 06:45 12:35 15:51 18:20 19:34
The 24-year-old from Perth, playing on a sponsor's invite, made the most of his opportunity as he added a stunning nine-under 63 to his first-round 69 to take a one-shot lead over Spaniard world No 13 Sergio Garcia, Ireland's Shane Lowry and Swede Peter Hanson, who were tied second at 11-under 133.
Garcia, making a comeback from a wrist injury, shot a five-under par 67, the same as Hanson, while Lowry, who won the Irish Open as an amateur last year, shot a round of seven-under par 65.
England's Chris Wood, Welshman Rhys Davies and German Martin Kaymer, champion here in 2008, were tied for the fifth place at 10-under 134.
The reigning European Tour Order of Merit winner, England's Lee Westwood (three-over 147) was the most notable casualty as the halfway cut was applied at two-under 142.
Kulacz, who fell in love with the game as a three-year-old when he was forced to stay awake at night after an asthma attack and watch Aussie legend Greg Norman play the Open Championship on television, was three-under at the turn with four birdies and a bogey.
But once he drained a 40-footer birdie putt on the 18th, there was no stopping him as he made just about every putt and chipped in as well.
On the back nine, he had seven birdies and one bogey before finishing with a par.
The Aussie, who won the Brunei Open on the Asian Tour in his rookie year and shot a superb round of 64 on the final day of the Qualifying School to secure his 2010 Tour card, said: "I got off to a really good start.
"I birdied 10th with a two putt and hit it to probably two feet on 12. So, the momentum was there straightaway.
"I got a really good break on 18 and holed it from 40 feet up the hill, and maybe a better break on the first where I chipped-in from over the back of the green.
"I just tried to get it on the green anywhere, and the putts just seemed to be going in. It was just one of those days where everything went my way and hopefully I can keep that going the next two days."
Garcia, who could not hit a single shot till last week after hurting his wrist during the third round of Dubai World Championship in November, was on song as he made six birdies in a round of 67.
Starting the round with a 50-feet birdie putt, the world No 13 hit the ball solid throughout the day, but said he still did not control his shots as well as he would like to.
"I am very pleased with this beginning, especially after the break and the little practice that I was able to do," said Garcia.
"So, it's good to see that I'm getting it around. I'm obviously not feeling in total control of my ball flight, but I feel like I more or less know how I'm hitting it and I'm scoring pretty well.
"Overall, it's been very positive and hopefully we can keep going on."

A New Agency With Inbound Ambitions
Digital Doorway was founded in 2017 with a clear mission – it wanted to bring the inbound methodology to the B2B IT industry.
"Collectively, we have decades of experience working in this sector, and we had identified a real need for it to transform its approach to marketing and sales. However, as a new agency, we knew that we would need to partner with the right software provider," explains Jennifer Van Lent, managing director at Digital Doorway.
The agency was looking for a platform that would allow it to create successful buyer journeys, both for itself and for its clients. It also wanted a provider that would give it the support it needed to succeed.
"We evaluated several options, including Marketo and Act-On, but they didn't have the structured programs that we were looking for."
Some of the Digital Doorway team had worked with the HubSpot software in the past, and they had been impressed by how it had allowed them to produce joined-up, effective campaigns.
"We loved its usability and power, but what really drew us in was all the guidance, coaching and training that the HubSpot Partner Program offered. As a new agency, we wanted a bit of handholding. Just a few days after launching our agency in January 2017, we signed on the dotted line."
A Supportive, Productive Partnership
Digital Doorway began by using the HubSpot Growth Stack – the combination of HubSpot's marketing , CRM and sales software – for itself. Within a month, it had set up its website on the HubSpot CMS and created a comprehensive resource library containing everything from recent survey results and whitepapers to battle cards and ebooks. It developed an active blog, and it encourages visitors to interact through Calls-to-Action and Forms ."We were delighted by how simple it was for us as a small agency to launch and manage the HubSpot software. It really helped us with the approach that we take with our customers. Some of them have never used a marketing automation platform before, but we can share our experiences and show them that it is so easy to get up and running with it," says Jennifer.
She says that from day one, the HubSpot team played a central role in helping the agency to achieve success.
"The level of support we get is amazing; our HubSpot channel consultant seemed to work night and day to help us onboard our first customers. Our HubSpot channel account manager has been wonderful as well. He focuses on helping us generate revenue, providing us with both in-depth business consulting and practical help. For example, if we are talking to a prospect, he will often give them a follow-up call to validate and enhance what we've already spoken about. That's often the tipping point for us closing the deal."
Digital Doorway believes that the HubSpot Partner Program is head and shoulders above anything else that is available in the marketplace.
"The whole ecosystem is extremely well structured, set up to make sure that agency partners drive growth. HubSpot is basically an extension of our company. You have someone to call if you need a resource, if you have a question or if you just need a sounding board for something. They don't just give you an online toolkit and say goodbye – they are with you for the long haul."
The Inside Track to Success
The HubSpot Partner Program is certainly paying dividends for Digital Doorway. It has seen a 40% uptick in organic traffic, and it gets an average of 15 sales-qualified leads every month.
"We were really excited to become a HubSpot Gold Tier Partner in our first year! We exceeded our initial goals primarily because of the help we received from HubSpot. Our channel account manager provided us with new contacts and prospects to develop, and he worked with us on every new client we closed," says Jennifer.
Today, the agency has nine clients on the HubSpot software, all on retainer contracts, which has given it the security of income that is so important to a new startup. In managing client onboarding projects, the Digital Doorway team takes a "progress, not perfection" approach. The focus is to enable clients to rapidly get up to speed and launch their first campaign within the HubSpot platform - while at the same time, transferring knowledge, optimising marketing outcomes and helping clients to create high-impact buyer journeys. This enables marketing professionals to quickly realise results and to accelerate user adoption of the platform.
"From our years working within the IT industry, we have seen a lot of "scope-creep" from projects which seem to take months or years before clients see measurable results and a positive ROI. Our approach is to help clients build a solid foundation for their inbound marketing strategy, then train and onboard users as quickly as possible to work directly in the HubSpot platform on campaigns and client engagements. As clients get up to speed with easy-to-learn activities, our agency team works on more advanced marketing tasks - like creating topic clusters, sequences, reports and buyer journeys to manage the entire customer lifecycle. Once clients see what we can do for them, they are eager to sign up to work with us in the longer term. For instance, one company had been in business for about 16 years, but they had never really focused on marketing – they had a basic website that got no conversions. We created their first campaign through the HubSpot software, and within 15 minutes of the first email going out, a prospect responded to a Call-to-Action. That call led to a new client relationship for them. They still talk about it today; they were amazed at how powerful inbound can be."
Jennifer is confident that Digital Doorway will go on to convince its other clients that are currently using different marketing automation platforms to sign up with HubSpot.
The agency has ambitious plans for the future, and they all involve HubSpot.
"Firstly, we're going to leverage our data privacy knowledge even more and help our clients to move into the new era of marketing. The HubSpot software is the perfect springboard for that! Secondly, we're going to develop partnerships with other agencies that we met at the HubSpot events. That's the HubSpot difference – there is a real sense of community, not competition. Thirdly, we're planning on developing apps to integrate with HubSpot software. As an agency, we see that as the wave of the future and as a way to secure and grow our retainer business."

Jean-Léon Gérôme remains as popular now as at any point in the last century, with his unique combination of Orientalism and Academic art styles proving charming to many around the world. Prints of his original paintings remain in high demand.
Gerome's paintings have a charm and exotic vibe which few others can match. Academic art is more accepted now than in some previous decades, with a wider variety of artistic taste now prevalent. Himself and Bouguereau delivered art which many find beautiful and hark back to a time of innocence. They are both reproduced in large numbers, with a large collection of their work available from several significant online stores. For many followers of this artist you will uncover new artworks from their careers that you hadn't discovered before, such is the prolific nature of their careers.
The female figure has always been regarded as a symbol of beauty, even going back to the Renaissance with artists like Sandro Botticelli who gifted us The Birth of Venus, Primavera and Mars and Venus. Alma Tadema created a similar use of female portraits to Gerome, with both using classical settings. The latter, though, would go on to add North African influences as well which produced an entirely new dimension to his overall oeuvre. Few notable Europeans have taken on some of the content in which he was involved and the technical brilliance of the artist will also attract the purists.
How might you customise your print? Many aspects of them can be customised, particularly with the international retailers who seem able to offer near limitless choices over style and material of frame, size of print, additional covers to protect the print and even the type of paper on which it is delivered. Typically your choices will be tailored by the setting in which the final product is to be hung. An oversized print can be too dominant and reduce the impact of the rest of the contents of the room, where as one too small will lose the qualities of the original painting. Also the composition itself will suit different sizes, such as a complex history painting or single figure portrait, for example.
Which artwork might you choose from the massive selection of around 700 oil paintings? The most popular tend to be his beautiful female portraits, particularly the exotic harem scenes. There are also the interiors of various mosques which attract both Islamic art followers but also those who appreciate architecture more generally. In terms of where classics inspired him, you might instead be interested in The Death of Caesar or Pollice Verso. In all, there is a good variety of work to be enjoyed here, with the artist making use of travel as a form of inspiration and choosing to go further than simply dipping into other regions of Western Europe, as most others had done.

The aim of the present study was to determine the stages of the reproductive cycle of the bitch by using the exfoliative vaginal cytology technique and its relationship with hormonal level. A total of 12 bitches (n=12) were selected and vaginal cytology along with hormonal estimation was done to identify the different stages of the reproductive cycle. The vaginal samples were collected as per the cotton swab technique and stained with Leishman stain and examined microscopically for differential count of exfoliated vaginal epithelial cells. On the same day blood samples were also collected aseptically for hormonal estimation. The percentage of parabasal cell, intermediate cell and superficial cells were 7.04±0.28, 22.33±0.28, and 62.32±0.28 in proestrus; 0.56±0.03, 5.68±0.03 and 92.29±0.03in estrus and 32.56±0.28, 35.08±0.28 and 12.83±0.28 in diestrus respectively. Vaginal smears were characterized by presence of massive numbers of erythrocytes and disappearance of neutrophils in proestrus, clear background of smear and absence of neutrophils with scanty erythrocytes in estrus, infiltration of neutrophils and dirty background in diestrus. The estrogen level (29.50 ±0.28) was statistically high during proestrus and highest progesterone level (39.50 ±0.28) during diestrus. On conclusion, hormonal changes in different stages of reproductive cycle presented mainly by the effect of elevated estrogen hormone that associated with increase in superficial cells count and cornification, with reduction in neutrophil and parabasal cell in estrus and Progesterone hormone showed increased towards diestrus level with increasing intermediate cells.
Keywords : Bitch Exfoliative Vaginal Cytology Estrogen Progesterone Reproductive Cycle
The reproductive cycle of the dog is very unique from that of other domesticated animals. The different reproductive stages in bitch can be determined through behavioral, endoscopic, hormonal and cytological observation (Feldman and Nelson, 1996; Johnston et al., 2001). The cyclic cellular changes of vaginal epithelium of the dog during different reproductive stages have been associated with levels of estrogen and these changes can easily be demonstrated by vaginal exfoliative cytological technique (Mshelia et al., 2001). Vaginal exfoliative cytology has been described as simple and reliable tool for monitoring the stages of reproductive cycle and also helpful in the prediction of optimum mating time in the bitch (Wright and Parry, 1989). The present study was carried out to determine the stages of the reproductive cycle of the bitch by using the exfoliative vaginal cytology technique and its relationship with hormonal level.
Materials and Methods
A total of 12 clinically healthy mature bitches presented at the Veterinary Hospital, Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex, College of Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry, Central Agricultural University, Selesih, Mizoram, India were selected for this study to determine different stages of the reproductive cycle. All the 12 animals were used to study the vaginal cytology at proestrus, estrus and diestrus.
Collection and Preparation of Vaginal Smear
The vaginal smears were obtained from the respective bitches by introducing sterile cotton tipped swab into the caudal part of vagina after gently separating the lips of vulva (Fig.1).
Fig. 1 Collection of vaginal smear by cotton swab technique
The vaginal exfoliative cytology was obtained as per the technique demonstrated by Feldman and Nelson (1996). The smear was collected after rubbing the swab against the vaginal wall in clockwise and anti-clock wise directions once each and gently withdrawn afterwards as described by Phemister et al. (1973). Following collection the cells were transferred to a clean grease free glass microscopic slide by gently rolling the swab tip from one end to the other (Fig. 2). The smear was allowed to air dry and stained with a Leishman and Giemsa stain separately as per the protocol. After staining and drying, the slides were examined under 40X followed by oil immersion trinocular fluorescent microsope (100X). A minimum of 10 observation fields were examined as described by Bowen (2006). Vaginal cytological evaluations were performed as described by Ola et al. (2006).
Evaluation of Vaginal Smears
The stages of the reproductive cycle of the bitches were determined by the identification of the cell types present in the vaginal smear as per the method described by Bell et al. (1973). Vaginal cytology was differentiated into parabasal, intermediate, superficial and squamous cells as per standard method (Maneke, 2002; Johnson, 2006; Antonov, 2016). Different vaginal epithelial cells were identified in the smear and expressed in percentage during proestrus, estrus and diestrus.
Hormone Estimation
Collection of blood (10 mL) for examination of progesterone and estrogen levels conducted during the oestrous cycle begins on day 0 (time of oestrus) and ends at the next oestrus. Serum was recovered by centrifugation (15 minutes at 2500 rpm) and stored at −20°C until being assayed for serum progesterone and estrogen levels using commercial progesterone and estrogen ELISA kit (DRG Instruments GmbH, Germany).
Results and Discussion
Different kind of cells viz. parabasal, intermediary and superficial epitheliums were observed in the vaginal cytology (Fig 3). Parabasal cells (Fig. 3B) looked like small, O-shaped oat cereal pieces; intermediate (Fig. 3A) looked like fried eggs; superficial ("cornified") cells (Fig. 3C, D & E) seen like corn flakes and neutrophils were segmented (Fig.3F). Vaginal smears were characterized by presence of massive erythrocytes in proestrus, clear background of smear in estrus and dirty background in diestrus. This observation was similar to the reports of Najamudin et al. (2010). The proportion of each epithelial cell at different stages of the reproductive cycle is shown in Table 1 and Fig. 4. Based on the standard and characteristic of exfoliated vaginal epithelial cells in proestrus, estrus and diestrus phase, the percentages of parabasal, intermediate and superficial cell were presented in the Table 1. The observed proportion was similar with Widiyono et al. (2011) and Gupta et al. (2012) in which the largest epithelial cell proportion in the estrus phase was the superficial cells. The results showed that the proportion of the superficial cells was higher during proestrus (62.67%) and increased during estrus (93.50%). The parabasal and intermediate cells count were very low in the vaginal smears of the estrus bitches.
Fig. 3: Vaginal exfoliative cytology of the bitches showing different epithelial cells (arrow mark)
This finding was in agreement with the finding of Mshelia et al. (2001) who also reported appearance of the parabasal cells and intermediate cells were as low as 7% in estrus bitches. In estrus phase, estrogen hormone increased activeness of uterine wall and caused hypersecretion of epithelial cells of the uterus and vagina resulting predominant of the superficial cells in this phase (Siregar et al., 2016).
Fig. 4: Characteristic and proportion of exfoliated vaginal epithelial cells of the bitches at different stages of the reproductive cycle
During estrus, there was presence of scanty erythrocytes and absence of neutrophils which was also supported by Mshelia et al. (2001). In the present study, the vaginal smears of the pregnant bitches revealed that the superficial cells declined to 13% which was similar with the finding of Mshelia et al. (2001) who observed as 15% in pregnant bitches. This might be due to increase in cells of the deeper layer and a rise in serum progesterone levels above 5ng/ml as reported by Mshelia et al. (2001). During pregnancy, reappearance of the neutrophils was also observed and found to be 19.83 % in the present study. Neutrophils are often abundant in smears taken during pregnancy and are not uncommon at other stages though rare during estrus. Moderate numbers of neutrophils are a common though not consistent feature of normal canine vaginal smears and not by themselves indicative of vaginitis (Bowen, 2006). The level estrogen (pg/ml) and progesterone (ng/ml) during proestrus, oestrus and diestrus were presented in the Table 1.
Table 1. Percentage of exfoliated vaginal epithelial cells and hormonal level of the bitches at different stages of the reproductive cycle
Stages | Proestrus (n=12) | Estrus (n=12) | Diestrus (n=12) |
Parabasal cells (%) | 7.04±0.28 | 0.56±0.03 | 32.56±0.28 |
Intermediate cells (%) | 22.33±0.28 | 5.68±0.03 | 35.08±0.28 |
Superficial cells (%) | 62.32±0.28 | 92.29±0.03 | 12.83±0.28 |
Neutrophils (%) | 6.90±0.28 | 0.51±0.03 | 16.65±0.28 |
Estrogen (pg/ml) | 29.50a ±0.28 | 12.03b±0.03 | 9.25c±0.28 |
Progesterone (ng/ml) | 1.04a±0.28 | 5.25b ± 0.03 | 39.5c ± 0.28 |
Means bearing different superscript in a row differed significantly (P<0.01)
In proestrus and estrus phase, estrogen hormone will increase activeness in uterus wall; it causes hypersecretion in epithelial cells of the uterus and vagina, so that the superficial cells were increased. In this research, the estrogen concentrations in proestrus, estrus, and diestrus phase were 29.50 ±0.28, 12.03±0.03 and 9.25±0.28 pg mL−1, respectively. Increasing concentrations of estrogen in proestrus and estrus phase may be related to the high proportion of superficial cells. The average concentration of progesterone was different on the stage of cycle. At the time of proestrus, progesterone level was 1.04±0.28 ng mL−1. The concentration reached its highest level during diestrus phase length with average concentration of progesterone being 39.5 ± 0.28 ng mL−1. When progesterone becomes dominant diestrus phase, the number of larger cells was sharply reduced (Zohara et al., 2014) so that the epithelial cells were dominated by parabasal cells. In this study, the proportion of parabasal cells in diestrus phase higher in comparison with proestrus and oestrus phase.
The vaginal cytology is an easy and reliable diagnostic tool for staging the reproductive cycle of the bitches especially for the determination of the oestrus stage which may be helpful in the prediction of optimum mating time in the bitch.

Donald Trump Up To His Small Penis In Fake 'Hunter Biden's' Computer
Doctors: Giuliani in danger of vanishing up own asshole.
The attempt to manufacture an October Surprise out of a dubious claim about supposed emails by Hunter Biden started unraveling just hours after the New York Post published the story yesterday. That has to be a big disappointment to Donald Trump, who apparently knew in advance that Rudy Giuliani was working on a brilliant ratfucking scheme, according to anonymous insiders who spoke to the Daily Beast about it:
In recent weeks, Donald Trump was made aware of an alleged secret trove of material about Hunter Biden's foreign dealings and private life, and was keen on getting it out into the public domain as soon as possible, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
"Have you heard about this [hard drive]?" one of the people recalled the president asking recently. The president made clear this latest salvo against the Bidens had his approval[.]
Well of course — you wouldn't expect the Great Man to say "Gee, that really strains credulity," because Donald Trump thinks "Credulity" is one of the two or three banks that haven't yet refused to loan him money.
Just to review the allegedly shocking development: We're supposed to believe that Joe Biden's son dropped off a laptop at a computer shop run by a fervent Trump supporter, then never came back to pick it up, and also that the shop owner made a copy of the hard drive, which happened to include unencrypted emails that supposedly document how Hunter arranged a 2015 meeting between his then-VP dad and a Ukrainian oligarch. Miraculously, the shop owner got that hard drive to Rudy Giuliani's lawyer, and the news happened to come out three weeks before the election. Steve Bannon was in the mix somewhere, too.
How's that for a bombshell? If you're a breathless follower of Fox News, it would surely be very thrilling, if any of it were proven. Except for how none of that narrative makes sense, and the entire "Joe Biden did dirty deeds for his son" narrative was Russian disinformation, full stop. But that was no reason to prevent Donald Trump from being thrilled about the huge story Giuliani was handing to the New York Post, according to the Daily Beast.
"The president knew [in recent weeks] that Rudy had something big coming on the Biden family," one of these knowledgeable sources said. "I remember hearing…something about files, and corruption, and something about sex and drugs…It was evident that the president was interested and wanted it done before the election."
Multiple senior-level officials in Trumpworld, including some on the reelection effort, were aware of a secret dossier or a hard drive regarding salacious and potentially damaging information on Hunter several weeks before the story broke in the Post , two other individuals with direct knowledge tell The Daily Beast. Some officials were eager to keep hitting the Biden family on corruption allegations before Election Day. It is unclear if any of these officials had direct contact with Giuliani about the exact contents of the hard drive.
Mind you, most Americans aren't watching Fox News 36 hours a day (which you can do if you use TiVo to skip the commercials), so it's unlikely this crap would get much traction even if it weren't already seriously dubious. The computer repair guy can't tell his own story consistently, and told the Daily Beast totally contradictory versions of how the laptop supposedly made its way to the FBI. And the New York Post has so far turned down requests to make the copied hard drive available for examination, which would be needed to figure out when the emails were actually written. The Daily Beast also notes that the information the Post has released is a bit odd, too:
For example, metadata on the PDF files purporting to show Hunter Biden's emails published by the Post suggest they were created on a Mac laptop on September 29 and October 10, 2019—around the same time Giuliani's Ukrainian associates who helped him dig up dirt on the Bidens, Igor Fruman and Lev Parnas, were arrested and charged with breaking campaign finance laws. The timing of the creation of those PDF files—several months after Biden allegedly dropped off his laptop at the PC repair store in April 2019—raises questions about how and when Giuliani came into possession of the purported emails.
Oh boy, it's Return of the Chucklefucks, maybe! (To be scrupulously accurate, nobody thinks the boys of "Fraud Guarantee" have anything like the skills to do creation of the "emails." It'd be like asking Paul Manafort to make a PDF. This is more an illustration of the Giuliani fuckery timeline. The smart money for the "emails" is actually on "Russian disinformation collated and created the emails and stuck them on a laptop for Snoopy Trumperson to find.")
Despite the thin evidence, Trumpworld is over the moon at the prospect that Americans will suddenly be outraged that a presidential candidate is alleged to have acted to enrich his family, because isn't that shocking? Trump twote that this great big fake outrage is "only the beginning" for Joe and Hunter Biden, because there's "nothing worse than a corrupt politician," you see.

Harry Styles' hit As It Was has become the longest-running number one on the US singles chart by a British artist.
The song has scored a 15th week on top of the Billboard Hot 100, breaking the record previously held jointly by Mark Ronson and Sir Elton John.
Their hits, Uptown Funk and Candle In The Wind respectively, each spent 14 weeks in the chart's top spot.
Styles is also currently at number one on the US cinema box office chart with his film Don't Worry Darling.
After 15 weeks at the top of the singles rankings, As It Was has become the fourth longest-running number one in US chart history – and the longest by one single artist
Old Town Road by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus holds the overall record of 19 weeks. Despacito by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber, and One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, each reigned for 16 weeks.
As It Was spent 10 weeks at number one in the UK between April and June.
Meanwhile, the former One Direction star has followed in the footsteps of Eminem and Prince by becoming one of the few artists to have topped the music and box office charts simultaneously.
Mixed reviews for Styles' new film Don't Worry Darling, directed by his partner Olivia Wilde, did not put fans off going to cinemas.
The movie, which also stars Florence Pugh and Chris Pine, took a healthy $19.2m (£17.7m) on its opening weekend in North America.
The film has enjoyed significant publicity in recent weeks, thanks to media reports of behind-the-scenes drama and off-screen feuds during its production.

Is 'Eyes Wide Shut' the Movie Stanley Kubrick Wanted Us to See?
When it was released in the summer of 1999, Eyes Wide Shut was easily the most anticipated film of the year. Starring the biggest movie star in the world and his wife, it was the first film in 12 years for Stanley Kubrick, who had not given an interview since 1987, on the occasion of the release of Full Metal Jacket. Kubrick, who was known to famously change his work even after its release, was rumored to be still working on the film when he died, to the point where what was released was not the film he intended. He also couldn't supervise the marketing campaign, which sold the movie as a sexy romp, but just ended up freaking people out. Now, 15 years later, with the movie back in the public consciousness, is it time for a reappraisal, and to ask whether the Eyes Wide Shut we saw was what Kubrick intended? I dunno. Let's see!
Down to the Wire
Stanley Kubrick, probably more than any other director, was known for his almost compulsive attention to detail. A veteran chess player and strategist, Kubrick personally devised complex filing systems to solve the problems he encountered during filmmaking, and left archives that were staggering in volume and breadth.
He was also known for making changes to his films up to, and after, their theatrical release. After2001: A Space Odyssey tested poorly with audiences:
Kubrick -- decided to tighten the film, cutting 19 minutes of film, explaining, "It does take a few runnings to decide finally how long things should be, especially scenes which do not have narrative advancement as their guideline."
The film was released on April 2, 1968, but edits were made "between April 5 and 9, 1969 and detailed instructions were sent to theater owners already showing the film, in order that they might put the trims into effect." 17 of the 19 minutes of footage were recovered in 2010, and show that he added some titles to orient the audience, and cut things like, "an entire sequence of several shots in which Dave Bowman searches for the replacement antenna part in storage."
Crucially, though, he excised a prologue featuring eminent scientists, discussing the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. The text of this segment is reproduced in the book, The Making of Kubrick's 2001, portions of which can be seen here. Had this remained in the film, it would have changed the tone of the film utterly, wrecking, in effect, what people love about the movie so much, i.e., its mystery. Kubrick chose to hold back, and his pragmatic choice not to bore a "restless" audience ended up connecting with the youth who turned the film into a pop culture phenomenon.
It's also kind of well-known that The Shining, perhaps the most obsessed-over Kubrick work (sorry, guys) has a deleted scene. An epilogue of sorts was shot, cut, and put into the release prints, then hastily removed. In the scene, we see Danny and Wendy, safe and in the hospital, where they are visited by the hotel manager Ullman. The scene would have occurred between the shot of Jack, dead in the maze, and the shot of Jack, alive in the hotel's past. It would also have been followed by a card that related how The Overlook overcame the tragedy and still remains open during its regular season. Luckily, this amazing Shining site, run by Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich, has the script for that scene. Here's the first page:
Kubrick used his unprecedented creative control to enact costly surgery on his film, and because it took several days for all the prints to have the scene excised, there are people who saw the original version in the theater. It's also worth noting that in the official IMDb credits there are listings for a Nurse and a Policeman, showing just how late in the game this edit was made. Of the edit, Kubrick said:
After several screenings in London the day before the film opened in New York and Los Angeles, when I was able to see for the first time the fantastic pitch of excitement which the audience reached during the climax of the film, I decided the scene was unnecessary. It had not been possible to change all of the New York and Los Angeles prints before opening.
A Modest Proposal
So what, you say? What does this have to do with the price of an extra large popcorn with butter and a jumbo Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper? To which I would reply, nothing, but it does have a lot to do with Eyes Wide Shut, its reception, and some of the mysteries that have surrounded the film since 1999. It's well-known that Kubrick was an extremely controlling director, and demanding of his actors and capable, in Eyes Wide Shut, of staging a production that is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest continuous production, a total of 400 days. He also reconstructed Greenwich Village in England and routinely shot over 90 takes of actions as banal as Tom Cruise walking through a door. But for all that, he was still willing to trim his film based on audience reception and the opinions of others. For a control freak, that's fairly laid-back.
And what did those changes achieve? In both 2001 and The Shining, the key cuts added a mystery to the film. In both instances, Kubrick elected to remove explanation, for whatever reason (the scene in the hospital adds another layer of ambiguity, with Ullman throwing the ball to Danny). Perhaps Kubrick felt that was one layer too many, and diluted the power of the cut from frozen Jack to "frozen" Jack, trapped in Time.
As for 2001, the film worked its magic on the counterculture, something Kubrick had no intention of doing, by being visual in the extreme, and refusing any sort of explanation; the astonishing images are enough to convey his point. Though voiceover was used effectively in many of his films, a sequence meant to establish verisimilitude and plausibility would have ruined the mystery of the film, and also undercut the way the few lines of dialogue left play up humanity's seeming evolution away from language. So he elected, in both instances, to let the images speak for themselves, and in both cases, this probably saved, or at least greatly helped, the films.
The fact that he left these scenes in for so long speaks to Kubrick's obsession with language; in Kubrick Land, language is not a means of communication, but of alienation; it's an ironic distancing voiceover, a hollow gesture, a banal pleasantry or hypocrisy with a smile. It's been noted, for instance, that Tom Cruise's first line in Eyes Wide Shut is a lie. Nicole Kidman asks him how she looks and he responds, "Perfect," when he's not even looking at her. As noted by Michael Ciment:
The banality of the dialogue between the Harfords and the Zieglers at the beginning of the film evokes the trivial conversation between the Russian cosmonauts and American cosmonauts in 2001 -- As always in Kubrick, the superficiality of the dialogue conceals the horrors ahead."
Near the end of Eyes Wide Shut, there's a scene between Tom Cruise, Sydney Pollack, and a billiard table that is both exceptionally long and, for many viewers, mystifying. To recap the plot: Tom Cruise, or Dr. Bill Harford, enraged by his wife Alice's confession of imagined infidelity, goes off on a dreamlike odyssey through New York, where his marriage is put to the test by the constant stream of strangers throwing themselves at Dr. Bill, whose face during the majority of the film is an impassive mask.
Obtaining an actual mask, he sneaks into an orgy at a mansion, is discovered, and then spends the rest of the film retracing his steps. Though it is never explicitly stated, the first half of the film is certainly dreamlike. For instance, Dr. Bill produces a wallet numerous times, and it never fails to produce cash, leading some to a reading of the film as capitalist allegory, with Tom Cruise as a social climber who is put back in his place when his rented costume and taxi give him away at the orgy. Victor Ziegler (Sydney Pollock) summons Cruise to let him know that though he might be invited to nice parties, he is just the help, the doctor called in to clean up Ziegler's messes.
The scene has confounded viewers since the film's release. At 13 minutes long, it contains a lot of subtextual niceties. (Cruise refuses some expensive scotch and Ziegler laughs because, really, that's the gesture of an equal, to whom a case of scotch means nothing; Cruise is seen drinking beer, and Pollack laughs at his osteopath's pretensions.) And the story he tells Cruise about the dead woman is obviously a lie, or is it? We never find out, but lots of people spent a lot of time analyzing the movement of the billiard balls, which probably wasn't the point.
Is Ziegler telling the truth? Does it matter? I'm not suggesting that Kubrick would have excised the scene had he lived, but I strongly suspect that he would have cut it far shorter and that, as released, the film feels incomplete. Perhaps the film would work better without Pollack's glossing things over, then spelling out that there were super powerful people gettin' freaky last night and you shouldn't have seen that. But perhaps I should shut up. And while I would never presume, I think it's not outside the realm of possibility to say that, just as the presence of the mask on the pillow is never explained.
The orgy, one of the strangest sequences in Kubrick's filmography, might have been better left unexplained, with Ziegler's participation hinted at; like the deleted scene in The Shining, I'm inclined to think that in its present form it sort of lets the air out of what came before. Though, maybe that's the point. But Dr. Bill is, it is suggested, dreaming, and the orgy is a dreamlike affair, the fantasy, it could be argued, of what men like Ziegler do behind closed doors. In this interpretation, Ziegler's admission that yup, that's how we do, seems kind of silly.
We'll never know, and either way, people will be unhappy. The fun is in speculating, and celebrating the work of a great filmmaker. Conspiracy theories tend to draw jeers, and confessions of ignorance tend to draw sighs of exasperation. But don't sigh just yet! Also, if you YouTube this movie, you will learn that the obvious symbolism in the orgy scene is of the occult, meant to point you subtly to the film's ties to the illuminati, or something.
Eyes Wide Shut is two hours and 59 minutes long, and at the screening held a few days before he died, he apparently told the head of Warner Bros., Terry Semel, that the final cut would be two hours and thirty-nine minutes long. And, as this respected Kubrick site points out:
Kubrick's film was in a weird position. His contract forbids anyone from cutting his film. He alone had final cut. So while his sound editor could lay down tracks and put in music, per his guidelines, they could not actually edit the footage. Usually music and imagery is edited in tandem, not so in Eyes Wide Shut.
And don't take my word for it. According to Eagle Scout and noted filmmaker David Lynch:
I really love Eyes Wide Shut. I just wonder if Stanley Kubrick really did finish it the way he wanted to before he died.
Just as they had before, critics got Eyes Wide Shut totally wrong. Inevitably, perhaps, it was read as an allegory for Tom and Nicole's marriage, and key elements of the plot were misinterpreted. Because they were the stars of the film, it was assumed that the audience was supposed to like Dr. Bill and Alice. But what if they are shallow consumerists, and the supposedly tender last line is evidence of their vapidity, shallow view of marital relations, and relief at being done with the whole business, which business included, you know, dead escorts? We'll never know.
Marketed as a big summer erotic thriller, the film about sexual anxiety and death and whatever else was savaged by critics, with former supporter Andrew Sarris writing that the film was "Ridiculously though intellectually overhyped for the very marginal entertainment, edification and titillation it provides over its somewhat turgid 159-minute running time."
But let's let a real authority have the last word. In the introduction to Kubrick: The Definitive Collection, Martin Scorsese writes:
If you go back and look at the contemporary reactions to any Kubrick picture (except the earliest ones) you'll see that his films were initially misunderstood. Then, after five or ten years came the realization that 2001 or Barry Lyndon or The Shining was like nothing else before or since.
In the end, we have the movie we have. And it's a weird movie. And a flawed movie. And a great movie, in its way. It's wholly original, and like any great work of art, sticks with you. And, as the final film of one of the century's master filmmakers, this movie with so much to give, shunted aside at the time by a gleeful tabloid media, deserves a critical reappraisal. In the end, Eyes Wide Shut is almost certainly not the film Kubrick would have been happy with in the end, but we should be happy we have it.
I'm not offering any interpretations here, I just like talking about movies. And I'm not in the Illuminati. And neither was Kubrick.

HurtI am 14 years old. I thought I loved this guy but he didn't love me so I wanted to prove myself to him, by giving him everything.. When he stopped talking to me afterwards it hurt real bad. I had a little crush on his friend, he came over and one thing led to another, I ended up having sex with someone i barely knew. When i recieved the news i was pregnant the good girl, one who never got in trouble. Nobody thought this would happen to me. I didnt think this could happen. So i told my babys father, he took it quite well, said he would be there for me through it all. I respected him so much for that. Then came the time to tell my parents. I sat them down and i immediatly started to cry, they were like, "Whats wrong hunny?" I came out and told them, "Im pregnant." They just looked at me. They were like are you joking. This cant be. They yelled at me, but they eventually came around. My babys father came by everyday to make sure i was ok, he went to every doctors appointment. I was starting to fall in love with him. The on October 13 we were sitting on my couch when my water broke so me and him were the only ones home, he rushed me to the hospital, and called my parents.. 7 hours later I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl. I was so happy, when i held baby Allia in my arms I knew it was real.... Months went by and my babys father was coming by everyday, but as time went by he just came by every once in a while. I spent alot of time with Allia. I didnt know I could love someone as much as i love her. Its been 2 years, she has crown so fast, shes walking, and talking. She spends every other weekend with her father, the rest of the time she is usaully with me, unless he decides that day he would like to see her. I relise i may have ruined his life, he was 16 when he got that call. But I am 16 now, living a not so normal life with my Allia. She is so much fun.. I cant wait until i find somebody who will love me and her.. Thats who I want to spend the rest of my life with.. I work part time, and my mother picks Allia up from daycare, when I get home at 5 o`clock shes always sitting by the door and the second i walk in she grabs my leg and says, "I love you mommy." I love those 4 little words, mean so much.. Shes my little princess, my little angel. Ans she is still daddys little girl.. He loves her to death, but i dont think he is much of the father types.. But I love him just because he gave me my beautiful baby.. Allia loves me and her daddys soo much.. She tells me that everyday. Everytime her dad shows up just to see her out of nowere, her face lights up like she hasnt seen him in years.. I know he loves her, he tells me that everytime we talk. Thats why he wants to finish school, so he can give me and her a better life.. Months went by and he started coming around more. I was kind of shocked.. He told me he loved me.. He was babys father, i loved him to. We tried to make a relationship work. What do you know? It did, we are happy as can be we have an apartment. Hes working full time so i can go to school, and then im woking part time.. I am happy with my family of 3.. Now its been 4 years since Allia was born, and we are still going strong. I am out of school, Allia is talking alot more. She loves to play outside. I look back and I just cant believe my little girl is 4 now.. Me and her father are still together we are so happy, someone i didnt even know became my best friend and the second most important thing in my life... My baby girl and her father mean everything.

We were having problems so i decided to break up with him. In the process i met this good looking guy name Xaviar (which was not his real name) and we eventually had sex. The first time we had sex the condom broke and I was determine to get the morning after pill but ended up not getting it... I promised myself long ago No abortions for me. We were still seeing each other then one day out the blue he just disappears without saying anything to me. I had his number but he never answered the phone. During that month I got back with my boyfriend my period was a week late so i went to the doctors and found out i was pregnant and i told my boyfriend the situation. He knows he is not the father but he is willing to step up and be there for the baby no matter what. I told the baby's biological father that i was pregnant and he hung up the phone on me. Even though i tried to get in contact with him i found out he changed his number and that Xavier wasnt his real name and i didnt know his last name. So I havent seen him since. I Dont know what i was thinking then but im happy with the decision i made and i am extremely happy i still have my loving boyfriend and that he hasnt left me. thank god for the good people of this world.. we are going to start a family no matter what.Jennifer two mummys.Hey. my name is cheyenne. i am 16 to this current day. 7 months ago, back when i was 15, i'd been with my boyfriend for about 2 weeks. And then he took my viginity. after that we had sex everyday after school, because his mum didn't mind us doing it, as long as we used protection. But after a month of just hardcore sex, me and my best friend, serahr, have got a lot closer. My boyfriend didn't really like that because he was quite obssesive.so i suggested a break. 2 days later i found out i was pregnant. i didn't know how to go about this. but i did know i want to keep the baby. also my feelings for the father had just gone. well, infact, my feelings for all men had just gone. I told serahr what happened and how i felt and she said she'd be there for me. Me and serahr spent more time together and she was helping me cope with the stress. She told me that she loved me and wanted to be with me. I was really happy that she asked me. So in two month, my baby is due and me and my amazing girlfriend will have a baby boy. the father said that ' i dont want anything to do with you lesbians, i wouldn't want my children to be brought up by lesbians, because you'll make the boy gay/ girl a lesbian'. so now, when i see him around town, i just ignore him.Many thanks x Chey Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146 |

"I've had a "gummy" smile my entire life. It's been a point of insecurity for me to the point where I'd smile with my mouth closed for pictures. I came here looking for information regarding a gingivectomy to eliminate some of the excess gum covering my teeth and I was able to get the procedure done that same afternoon. I was blown away by the results! My smile has drastically improved and I haven't been able to resist looking at my smile every time I'm around a mirror. The staff here are professional and knowledgeable regarding cosmetic procedures like the one I had done. I highly recommend."

Pediatric Dentistry
Practicing and maintaining healthy oral habits begins at a young age. Young children can benefit from visiting a trusted, family dentist to grow and learn with. Keeping your child's teeth and gums health now can promote a healthy, functional smile for years to come.
Our teams Montclair dentist offers pediatric dentistry services for children as young as 1 years old. We offer a full range of pediatric family dentistry services in our Montclair dental office. We encourage parents to visit our full-service, comprehensive dental practice for the care they need to improve the health and function of their child's smile. We focus on building strong patient-dentist relationships, patient education, and preventive dental care.
Cavities are one of the most common dental concerns amongst younger patients. Our Montclair Plaza dental care team works closely with your child to help them learn the proper ways to brush, floss and take care of their teeth. Creating healthy habits at a young age can encourage healthy habits as they learn and grow.
Are primary teeth important?
Your children's baby teeth play more several roles, including enabling them to chew solid food. The primary teeth hold space for the permanent teeth and serve as a placeholder within the gums to facilitate healthy oral development. They also play a key role in your child's speech development. Keeping the primary teeth healthy sets the stage for a growing smile that is stable, balanced and naturally functional. If your child loses or damages a primary tooth, it is important to address it as soon as possible to avoid more complex problems down the road.
Child Dentist Services:
Most dentists recommend children visit the dentist at the age of 1, or after the emergence of their first tooth. Our dental care team works with your child every step of the way. We screen for many common dental concerns, including those related to the structure and bite function. As your child grows, we will monitor oral development, and make any necessary recommendations for early orthodontic care or other services. We also offer a variety of orthodontic treatments in our office for young smiles, including invisible braces.

What do I do if my child has a tooth ache?
If your child is experiencing a toothache, be sure to contact Montclair Plaza Dental Group in Montclair, CA. Our dental care team can work with your child to identify the cause of pain, and create a treatment plan. In the meantime, apply a cold compress against the cheek.
What do I do if a permanent tooth is knocked out?
Be sure not to irritate the area. Find the tooth and put it in a cup of milk or water. Contact Montclair Plaza Dental Group as soon as possible. In some cases, the permanent tooth can be saved if handled in a timely fashion. Our experienced team will work with you to restore your smile and find the right solution for you.
Can thumb sucking be harmful to my child's teeth?
If a child is sucking the thumb or pacifier when the permanent teeth arrive, it may lead to biting alignment problems or crooked teeth. Children usually stop thumb sucking before preschool age. Discouraging your child from sucking their thumb early on can prevent many dental health problems.
