text: Trails that sparkle in morning's first light get my motor running unlike anything else. The day before, I'd seen the small outline of the infamous Phantom Ship from the western slopes of Crater Lake. It's haunting form beckoned for a closer look. Starting early on this fine autumn morning I searched the eastern cliffs for a closer view. Peering over the edge, just beyond the brush the tree's cleared for a view of the Phantom Ship. Silently floating upon the calm waters she rests. It was all that I hoped for on this bright, blue sky morning. After sitting for a spell in the sun, I head back down the trail. I find an old tree uprooted by the wind. I can feel the sad death in it's branches, and the feeling pulls me in. I go closer to touch the dead roots of the ancient wooden being. I pay my respects in silence, then quietly slip away. Share this:TweetEmailShare on TumblrMoreRedditWhatsAppLike this:Like Loading...

Safety is the number one issue on Hallowe'en Night.We moved into town from the country a few years ago and do not have many children in the neighborhood. As a result we do not see many Trick or Treaters on Halloween night. We enjoy seeing the little ones so we usually have the grandchildren come in and help with the handing out of the treats. This year as was the case last year with Covid-19 will be a little different. Time will tell if parents even take their little ones out. Here are a few safety tips.
1) Be sure to put the porch lights are on at dusk to let the Trick or Treaters know you are home.If you do not want to answer the door, try to turn off the lights and go downstairs if possible, leaving the house in darkness. Parents, especially, will know the signs and skip your house.

As in the past years, we couldn't miss one of the most important, pleasant, enjoyable and relaxed wine events in Italy: SUMMA, 2018
In Alto Adige, immersed in the vineyards and the verdant landscape of the Alois Lageder estate, this 21st edition of Summa gathered more than 80 top notch food and wine producer from all over the world, to present their wines and food to an international audience of wine lovers and professionals. The programme was filled also with interesting, educational and fun activities, such as guided wine tastings, vertical wine tastings led by vintners, cellar and vineyard tours, wine seminars…
The food and wine producers all have a common philosophy, based on environmental sustainability and organic or biodynamic viticulture/agriculture. Summa is one of a kind, with a unique and relaxed mood that makes it different from all other wine fairs; it has become bigger and bigger over the years, but it still has its cozy and intimate atmosphere, a festive and convivial character, where you do not have to rush into anything, but being in harmony with nature.
Summa has also a humanitarian focus, thanks to the partnership with the Haus der Solidarität in Bressanone. Summa thus contributes toward helping people in desperate need, such as traumatized refugees and people with severe mental illnesses or addiction issues.
"Our goal with Summa is to get together with the best vintners from all over the world in the unique setting of the historical Casòn Hirschprunn. A special feature of the wine fair Summa is the presence of all the vintners in person and the opportunity it offers to introduce visitors to the beauty that is felt in Alto Adige and the contrast and interplay of northern and southern influences. This event was born thanks to my father's bold decision to quit Vinitaly and to invite here his vinterns and wine makers friends»." says Alois Clemens Lageder, sixth generation in the family business.
Alois Lageder is a family estate representing the highest standard of quality in viticulture and winemaking. Founded in 1823, when young trainee artisan Johann Lageder started to sell wines in Bolzano, the estate combines tradition and innovation and it is now directed by Alois Lageder and Alois Clemens Lageder.
Apart from wine production, it is very active in the organization of cultural and artistic activities, especially connected to contemporary music (https://aloislageder.eu/a-place-of-encounter/vin-o-ton), promoting young and promising composers.
As soon as arrived in the nice hamlet of Magrè sulla Strada del Vino, I took the guided tour of the vineyards, in a beautiful and suggestive horse drawn carriage. We were shown also some 150 yrs old vines!
All of Lageder's wines are made in close concordance with the organic and biodynamic practices and it was very interesting listen to vineyard manager, explaining their methods and philosophy.
Biodynamic was developed by Rudolph Steiner in the 1920s,it is a philosophy relying on a particular regimen of treating soil, plants and livestock, based on the principles of anthroposophy.
After the ride and some wine tastings and meeting with wine producers from Italy, Slovenia, France, Austria, Germany, Kazakhstan, Autralia, a lunch break was really needed! In beautiful historic building Tor Lowenganf, we fully enjoied the culinary delights porepared by Hanna and Elia and Michelin starred chef Alessandro Gilmozzi from El Molin who created amazing pasta dishes using Monograno Felicetti Spaghettoni Matt and Mezze Maniche "Il Cappel".
And you cannot really enjoy Summa, if you do not taste the apple fritters, carefully made by the local farmers ladies, the "Magreider Bäuerinnen ".
I particularly loved:
Etna Rosso DOC San Lorenzo 2016: made by Tenuta delle Terre Nere , 100% Nerello Mascalese grape, with unbelivable balance, fruit and flowers notes that end in salty and stony finish
Toscana IGT L'Apparita 2014: made by Castello di Ama; 100% Merlot with notes of red fruits and spices, with balanced acidity and long aftertaste.
Paleo Rosso 2014, Le Macchiole : that shows perfectly how great one of the symbols of Bolgheri winemaking is, one of the world's best-known Cabernet Francs.
1996 Cor Römigberg and 2015 Cor Römigberg Alosi Lageder: you can easily see and taste the ageing potential of this amazing wine. Planted in 1986, Cor Römigberg was Alto Adige's first vineyard with densely planted Guyot-trained vines. This site has traditionally been called "Herz" (German for heart or Cor in Latin) and has given the wine its name.

Will Smith's Uncle Phil Look Is Proof That Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Needs A Reboot
In West Philadelphia, born and raised, Will Smith is well beyond playgrounds and schoolyards these days. Quite recently, the multi-hyphenate entertainer took a bungee jump off of the Victoria Falls Road bridge above the Zambezi River, and while the experience itself was wildly exciting for him, fans are more jazzed that he took a Go Pro camera, which revealed to the world that Will Smith is, in fact, turning into his fictional relative Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And now, a reboot must be imminent. Stare down and agree!
I don't know that Will Smith could have intentionally made himself resemble Uncle Phil in a way that works better than this surprise look during his bungee jumping adventure. I mean, I'm not sure anyone would look at Smith in the video and then at James Avery and automatically assume that the two share the exact same DNA strands, but it makes for an easy answer to the question "Could Will Smith play a convincing patriarch in a potential reboot or continuation of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air?" And that answer is yes, yes he could.
Admittedly, it would be kind of weird and/or spooky if Fresh Prince's fictional Will grew up to look like his uncle, someone who for all intents and purposes was his antagonist from week to week. But it would serve as just the kind of poetic justice that the hit 1990s series delivered on an episodic basis, because even though Uncle Phil always came off like a hardass, he was usually right, and Will screwed up constantly. So by becoming a more responsible adult, Will would understandably also go for the bald look with the salt-and-pepper beard. It. Writes. Itself.
Let's not even pretend like a Fresh Prince reboot or revival is a zany concept, since it's almost harder to think of shows that haven't been tapped for some kind of a return to TV. Plus, the comedy is one that fans have actively asked to see again, which has been helped along in recent years by Will Smith occasionally dropping some Fresh Prince theme song rhymes on morning shows. And since actor James Avery sadly passed away some years ago, it would be a pretty stellar way to honor him for arguably his most famous role.
Not to mention Will Smith seriously needed to return to TV at some point for a big series. He'll technically be on the small screen soon thanks to David Ayer's Bright, which is hitting Netflix at the end of the year. Sayyy, maybe Netflix wants to get behind some new fun back in Philly. I know just the dancer and the DJ to call. While waiting to hear about that project that likely won't happen but should, check out our midseason premiere schedule, and then watch Smith's full bungee video on the next page.

Nick is a Cajun Country native, and is often asked why he doesn't sound like that's the case. His love for his wife and daughters is almost equaled by his love of gasp-for-breath laughter and gasp-for-breath horror. A lifetime spent in the vicinity of a television screen led to his current dream job, as well as his knowledge of too many TV themes and ad jingles.

Background/Purpose: Early assessment of the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) is a highly challenge for a physicians' practice to improve the management and decrease the mortality. We aimed to determine early prognostic factors for AP related in-hospital mortality. Methods: Upon hospital admission, predictors of AP related in-hospital mortality were prospectively assessed using regression analysis over 129 consecutive AP patients. Predictive abilities of these prognostic factors were compared using the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: AP related in-hospital mortality was 10.9%. Red cell distribution (RDW), serum creatinine, glucose and albumin were associated with AP mortality. RDW had the highest AUC followed by serum creatinine and albumin (AUC: 914, 95% CI: 0.797 - 0.975; 0.797, 95% CI: 0.695 - 0.878; 0.798, 95% CI: 0.677 - 0.865 respectively). The cut-off with the best ability to predict in-hospital mortality was 14.2 for RDW. By coupling RDW and serum creatinine, AUC was improved to 0.940, 95% CI: 0.839 - 0.986. Conclusion: RDW, serum creatinine, albumin, and glucose even with borderline level changes may predict AP related in-hospital mortality, where, RDW has the highest prognostic accuracy. Coupling RDW and serum creatinine model significantly improves their predictive accuracy that may aid in further improvement of the quality of care of AP patients.
Acute Pancreatitis, In-Hospital Mortality, Red Cell Distribution Width

1. Introduction
Acute inflammation of the pancreas (AP) has a wide spectrum of severity. It is varied from mild and self-limiting acute pancreatitis (MAP) in approximately 80% that resolves without serious complications to severe form that carries major morbidity as necrosis or organ failure and increased mortality [1] .
The overall mortality of AP is about 10% - 15% and can reach up to 42% in severe AP [2] [3] [4] . Because of nearly 50% of deaths occur early within the first week, early diagnosis with accurate assessment of the disease severity is a highly challenge in practice [5] [6] . Death from multi-organ failure may occur early within the first 10 days after hospitalization due to massive inflammatory responses or late at the end of the second week from the disease onset that related to infected pancreatic necrosis [5] [6] . Therefore, monitoring AP patients in the first 24 hours of hospital admission is of the great importance that gives a rational for studies to identify those at risk of multi-organ failure to institute an early intervention to decrease mortality. Several prognostic scoring systems have been proposed for that issue; however, it may take longer time for observation i.e. after 48 hours as Ranson's criteria [7] , or its use is complex as The Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) scoring system [8] . Whereas, laboratory indexes such as IL-6, CRP, serum lipase and amylase, although, easy feasibility, but their results have been inconsistent and unrelated to the disease severity [9] . Therefore, the presence of sensitive, easy available and inexpensive laboratory markers for predicting the early AP mortality is recommended.
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and the laboratory data of AP patients upon hospital admission to investigate the early predictors of AP related in-hospital mortality.
2. Patients and Methods
2.1. Study Design
This was a prospective observational study carried out at Assiut University Hospital (AUH), Egypt, from January 2016 to December 2017. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of AUH and was conducted in accordance with the previsions of the Declaration of Helsinki. An informed consent was obtained from all the participants before enrollment.
2.2. Study Population
This study consecutively included 129 adult patients with AP admitted to Tropical Medicine and Gastroenterology and Internal Medicine Departments, Al-Rajhi Liver Center, Assiut University Hospital, Egypt. AP diagnosis was based on at least 2 of the following Atlanta criteria: 1) typical clinical symptoms; abdominal pain consistent with AP; 2) elevated serum amylase and/or lipase levels greater than 3 times the upper normal limit; 3) characteristic radiological findings by abdominal computerized tomography or ultrasonography.
According to the revised Atlanta classification [6] , acute pancreatitis (AP) was categorized into mild acute pancreatitis (MAP with absence of organ failure and local/systemic complications.), moderately severe acute pancreatitis (MSAP with transient organ failure/organ failure and/or local or systemic complications that resolved within 48 hours), and severe acute pancreatitis (SAP with persistent single or multiple organ failure >48 hours duration). For the purpose of analysis, the MSAP cases with the SAP cases were grouped together [10] .
The etiology of AP was either 1) biliary: when imaging [as ultrasonography or computed tomography (CT)], or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) revealed gallstones in the gallbladder or in the common bile duct. 2) alcohol-induced was diagnosed when alcohol intake before the onset of the symptoms could be established. 3) Other: when attributed to ERCP, hyperlipedemia, trauma, or drugs. 4) Idiopathic or unknown in other cases. Patients with the evidence of chronic pancreatitis, anemia, malignancy, known kidney or liver failure, severe infection within the last month, or organ transplantation were excluded.
2.3. Methods
At the time of hospital admission, a thorough medical history and physical examination were taken; for example demographic data, etiology of pancreatitis, organ failure, and severity of AP were noted. Blood samples were also collected for laboratory investigations, and included: complete blood count including white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), platelets (PLT) and red cell distribution width (RDW), liver function tests, kidney function tests including serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum sodium, serum calcium, serum potassium, serum glucose (only for non-diabetic patients), C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and arterial blood gas analysis. The primary end point was in-hospital mortality.
2.4. Statistical Analysis
All statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS for Windows version 16 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) and the MedCalc program. Quantitative data are expressed as mean ± standard deviation or median and the interquartile range and were compared using Student's t or Mann-Whitney U-tests for normally or abnormally distributed data, respectively. Categorical variables were expressed as percentage and compared using chi-squared (χ2) or Fisher's exact probability test. All significant factors on univariate analysis were considered for inclusion in multiple regression analysis to predict AP-related in-hospital mortality. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to measure and compare the performance of different parameters to determine death risk and to select the best cut-off point at which sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive value, positive and negative likelihood ratio (+LR, −LR) were calculated. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the overall survival rates. All tests were two-tailed and statistical significance was assessed at <0.05.
3. Results
3.1. Characteristics of the Studied Patients
Total 129 patients with AP (70 males and 59 females; mean age 53.6 ± 10.7) were enrolled in the present study. Based on the Atlanta classification, 72 patients (55.8%) had MAP, and MSAP and SAP were detected in 57 (44.2%). The etiology of AP was biliary in 89 patients (69%), idiopathic in 25 patients (19.4%) and other causes in 15 patients (11.6%). None of patients were alcoholic. Fourteen patients died during the hospital stay (10.9%) from: septic and toxic shock (3 cases), multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (6 cases), disseminated intravascular coagulation (1 case) and acute renal insufficiency (4 cases). Out of 115 survivors, 25 patients had local pancreatic complications when they were discharged from the hospital, including 12 patients had pancreatic pseudocyst, 11 patients developed necrotizing pancreatitis, and 2 with pancreatic abscess. The mean
hospital stay was 10.6 ± 5.9 days. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of survivors and non-survivors were summarized in Table 1. All the non-survivors had SAP where the levels of serum bilirubin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, blood glucose, and RDW were significantly increased, while the levels of albumin, calcium, and hemoglobin were significantly decreased (P < 0.05).
3.2. Risk Factors Analysis for AP Related In-Hospital Mortality
To identify the factors that could independently predict AP related in-hospital mortality, multiple regression analysis was applied using the significant variables from the univariate analysis (P < 0.05) (Table 1). It was found that increased RDW, serum glucose and creatinine and decreased serum albumin were independent predictors of AP mortality (P < 0.05) (Table 2). Moreover, using multiple
regression analysis with forward LR method to construct a model with higher accuracy for prediction of AP related in-hospital mortality, a combined use of serum creatinine and RDW offered an accuracy of 92.3% (Table 3).
3.3. Diagnostic Performance of Parameters for Prediction of AP Related In-Hospital Mortality
We examined the effectiveness of RDW, serum glucose, creatinine and albumin in prediction of AP related in-hospital mortality using ROC analysis. It was found that the area under curve (AUC) values of these variables were statistically significant to predict AP mortality (Figure 1). RDW had the highest AUC (0.914; 95% CI 0.797 - 0.975), followed by serum creatinine, albumin and glucose (AUC = 0.797, 0.789 and 0.746 respectively). Moreover, at a cut-off value of RDW >14.2%, the highest sensitivity (78%), specificity (96%), PPV (70.3%), and NPV (97.3%) were achieved for prediction of AP related in-hospital mortalityin approximately 77.8% of the cases (Table 4).
Further, we examined the effectiveness of RDW-serum creatinine model in prediction of AP related in-hospital mortality using ROC analysis where AUC was significantly improved (0.940, 95% CI 0.839 - 0.986, P < 0.001) (Figure 2).
Table 1. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the study patients with acute pancreatitis (survivors and non-survivors).
P value <0.05 = significant. AP: acute pancreatitis; MAP: mild acute pancreatitis; SAP: severe acute pancreatitis; WBC: white blood cell; RDW: red cell distribution width; CRP: C-reactive protein.
3.4. Determination of the Survival Analysis
Kaplan-Meier-estimated survival curves were generated for patients who fell above and below the cut-off values identified by the means of the ROC curves for RDW and serum creatinine constituting this model to predict AP-related in-hospital mortality (Figure 3). These cut-offs clearly differentiated between patients with different survival times; patients who had scores higher than the cut-off value had a significantly shortened survival period compared with patients who had lower scores (long rank, P = 0.013; Breslow, P = 0.01 and Tarone-Ware, P = 0.006).
4. Discussion
This prospective study demonstrated the early prognostic factors in AP patients and their diagnostic performance to predict mortality. Elaborating reliable

factors and identification of high-risk hospitalized AP patients remain a challenge of increasing suspicions for early decisions of proper management and organ support. In this study, the AP related in-hospital mortality rate of 10.9% was within the range of the previous estimates (10% - 15%) [3] [4] . However, this lower percentage may be attributed to the early and proper management of gallstones as an etiology of most of AP cases.
We found that all the non-survivors had SAP that was in agreement with earlier studies, where they reported that SAP can lead to a higher risk of systemic complications, pancreatic necrosis, prolonged hospital stay and increased mortality rates of up to 50% [11] [12] .

This study corroborates increased RDW, serum creatinine, glucose, and lowered albumin levels upon hospital admission were independent risk factors for mortality in AP patients as shown in the previous reports [2] [13] [14] . They found that AP non-survivors had increased levels of RDW and creatinine but decreased levels of albumin compared to survivors. Talamini et al. [14] , identified increased serum glucose more than 250 mg/dl and serum creatinine more than 2mg/dl as risk factors for death in AP patients. Thus, RDW, glucose and creatinine may have a risk while albumin may act a protective role in AP patients.
In the present study, the diagnostic accuracy of RDW (AUC = 0.914) was significantly higher than the other studied risk factors with 78% sensitivity, 96% specificity, 70.3% PPV and 97.3% NPV at cut-off >14.2%. This was comparable to the findings of Şenol et al. [15] , who reported RDW having AUC of 0.817 with 47.6% sensitivity, 96.3% specificity, 79.9% PPV and 87.6% NPV at cut off >14.8 in predicting fatal outcome in AP patients.
The pathophysiologic mechanisms for the association between the increased RDW levels and AP mortality may be explained as the strong association of some inflammatory cytokines which inhibit erythrocyte maturation and allow larger reticulocytes to enter the circulation [16] . It may be related to inflammation that influences the bone marrow function and iron metabolism and modifies RBC membrane glycoproteins and ion channels, contributing to the change of RBC morphology [17] . In addition, high oxidative stress can also lead to elevated RDW by decreasing red blood cell survival and increasing release of large premature RBCs into the circulation [17] .
In consistence with previous studies [18] [19] , elevated serum creatinine level at admission was significantly higher in AP patients who died during hospitalization in this study. Additionally, at a cut-off >123 μmol/l (1.4 mg/dl) of serum creatinine, AUC was 0.782 with 77.8% sensitivity, 81.1% specificity and 96.8% NPV in predicting AP related in-hospital mortality. Renal impairment was an independent predictor for in-hospital mortality in patients with AP, and measurement of creatinine on the first day proved to be a good predictor of mortality [19] [20] .
Increased creatinine levels in AP may reflect renal dysfunction because of severe intravascular hypovolemia that may cause reduction in the kidney blood flow [21] .
Previous studies reported different cut off values of serum creatinine levels measured at admission time and after 48 hours; Avinash et al. [21] , found that serum creatinine ≥133 μmol/l (1.5 mg/dl) on admission was an indicator of the progress towards acute renal failure (ARF). Whereas, Muddana et al. [18] , reported that serum creatinine value >159 μmol/l (1.8 mg/dl) at 48 hours indicated a higher possibility of the occurrence of pancreatic necrosis (PN), which was a major contributing factor to morbidity and mortality of AP.
On the other hand, high NPV of serum creatinine (96.8%) in this study agreed with Lankisch et al. [22] , who reported that the clinical utility of determining serum creatinine at admission indicates that normal values signify that necrotizing pancreatitis is unlikely, and contrast-enhanced CT is not indicated unless complications occur.
Acute renal failure in AP is caused by the release of vasoactive compounds, enzymes and cytokines from the necrotic pancreatic tissue into the circulation. In addition, activated intravascular coagulation and infection may contribute to the development of ARF in these patients [21] .
Serum glucose level upon hospital admission was significantly higher among AP non-survivors in this cohort. This was in agreement with earlier studies that revealed that serum glucose on admission had been considered as a satisfactory predictor of mortality in AP [23] [24] . Our findings revealed that at a cutoff value >8.8 mmol/l (158.4 mg/dl); it had an AUC of 0.746, 66.7% sensitivity, 90.5% specificity, 46.1% PPV and 95.7% NPV in predicting AP-related in-hospital mortality.
Several previous studies [7] [25] demonstrated that at admission, blood glucose level >11.11 mmol/l (200 mg/dl) was added to the early grave Ranson prognostic criteria, and blood glucose >13.88 mmol/l (>250 mg/dl) was identified to be a strong predictor of mortality in AP patients [26] .
This higher blood glucose levels in the AP non-survivors may be explained to the related probability of damage of the endocrine pancreas, as determined by the extent of the pancreatic necrosis. Similarly to serum creatinine, high NPV of serum glucose (95.7%) indicates that its normal values on admission usually signify that necrotizing pancreatitis is unlikely. These findings were matched with previous studies that reported that a blood glucose concentration of 6.9 mmol/l on admission had a high negative predictive value (92%) for pancreatic necrosis and also can serve as a predictor for severity [23] [24] .
Serum albumin level on admission was significantly lower in deceased AP patients in the current results where serum albumin <31 g/d was a good predictor for AP-related in-hospital mortality. This matched with earlier studies that reported that the mortality significantly increased when the serum albumin level was lower than 25 - 30 g/l [2] [15] [27] . Albumin is a negative acute phase reactant and its level in the blood decreases with inflammation severity disease prognosis and mortality [28] . Decreased serum albumin levels at the early stage of AP may be attributed to its effusion through the damaged vessel wall into the pancreas and its surrounding tissue that induced by Elastase secreted from pancreas and neutrophils, in addition to the reduction of serum albumin synthesis as a result of damage in liver function in AP [29] .
Based on the data in this study, we found that a coupling model of serum creatinine and RDW had a superior accuracy (92.3%) for prediction of AP related in-hospital mortality than each parameter alone (AUC = 0.940, 95% CI 0.839 - 0.986, P < 0.001). In addition, patients with higher values than RDW and serum creatinine cut off values had short survival rate as shown by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
Thus, this new model may achieve early (within few hours of admission), simple and easily applicable tool to predict adverse outcomes in AP patients before using more sophisticated and expensive techniques. One reason for this superior predictive ability of this coupling model is the inclusion RDW and serum creatinine which are well-known predictors of mortality in AP as shown inprevious studies [13] [15] [19] [20] . This model has yet to be validated prospectively. As this study was a single-center study, further multicenter studies on larger scales are needed to help guide early resuscitation and treatment strategies in acute pancreatitis.
5. Conclusion
In conclusion, RDW, serum creatinine, albumin, and glucose even with borderline level changes can predict AP related in-hospital mortality, where, RDW has the highest prognostic accuracy. Coupling RDW and serum creatinine significantly improves their predictive accuracy for AP related in-hospital mortality that may aid in quality of care improvement and in the reduction of short-term mortality. Also, this model may offer a strategy to stratify high-risk patients on hospital admission who may need intensive treatment even without previous episodes of AP, which may require further studies.

40 Things You'll Generally Be Doing Yourself A Favor For Buying In 2021. 1Md Probiotics Platinum Reviews
You could be forgiven for believing that the spring/summer 2021 collections– and the subsequent raft of spring/summer 2021 patterns– were something of a wet squib. Thanks to the continuous pandemic, it was a season like no other..
Of the four style capitals, New York and London opted for primarily digital displays, with the odd designer hosting Covid-secure presentations for small numbers of press and buyers; while Milan and Paris held scaled-back provings with rigorous social distancing steps in place from a few of its most significant brands. Others still chose to try something different. "Various" manifested variously as: showing off-schedule, revealing via film and in virtual reality, or sending out a replacement for a catwalk experience out to press and purchasers in a box. All enjoyed differing degrees of success..
A year that produced no end of surprises, it may seem like folly to anticipate what will take place in 2021. We decided to do it anyhow.
Our reporters signed in with their sources to make more than 40 predictions on the most important business and issues they cover. We anticipate which hot monetary technology and open-source start-ups will go public, AT&T's prepare for CNN, Alibaba's future takeover target and the next "other bet" for Google.
2019 was a record year for ecommerce. More than ever in the past, consumers were shopping online and will continue to do so in 2020. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering individuals to stay at home, depending upon the vertical, many ecommerce organizations have seen their sales grow to tape levels, while other brand names are introducing brand-new products to help support those in need while keeping their business strong..
In 2019, there were a couple of standout product types that took the marketplace by storm and were high sellers. These consist of CBD oils, probiotics, environmentally friendly items, and more– much of them within the health, beauty, and health market. In this post, we'll look at the 8 highest-selling product kinds of 2019 and take a more detailed take a look at how they'll perform in 2020 also give ecommerce online shopkeeper item ideas of the latest trending products..
8 high-demand trending items and specific niches of 2021.
Unless you're running a market, your ecommerce organization will likely concentrate on a single niche items. Whether it's supplements, clothing, food, or other finest selling products or something else, people who visit your ecommerce shop would like to know what types of products you sell as quickly as they arrive on your site.
Not exactly sure what type of organization to start, or which products can help increase your market share? Here's a list of the top-selling items in 2019 and how we believe they'll perform in 2020..
1. CBD oils and items (Rewarding items).

The idea of "Spardha" originated from founders Saurabh & Amrita's own experience of getting their child trained in Guitar and Keyboard. Like any other parent, they wanted their child to be an all rounder and hence, started looking for a good academy so that their child can learn Music holistically & become more confident, creative & better prepared for the future..
And when they could not find any specific institute which is well established and can give them confidence about the training content and trainer, they had an interesting problem to be solved.
Most often than not, either the training institutes were not recognized or they were far away from home or there were some quality & safety concerns.
What they further realized was that their personal challenge was the pain point of millions of people across India & abroad who are looking for quality music education for their children or for themselves.
So "Saurabh & Amrita" decided to bridge this gap of availability, safety, quality and convenience by incubating what is "Spardha" now.

WATCH: Gang of Marauding Hoodlums Attack Vehicles in New York City, Police Nowhere to be Seen
A large gang of teenagers with bicycles violently attacked vehicular traffic on the streets of Manhattan on Tuesday, with witnesses shocked that the youths would engage in mass violence with impunity.
One youth jumped onto a car's hood and stomped with full force on the windshield, in an attack that could've threatened the lives of the driver and pedestrians inside.
The menace of the riotous youths was caught on camera by multiple witnesses, but the New York Police Department seemed either absent from the scene or too late to make a difference. The gang, which has been described as as many as 50 youths of various ages, fled the scene on BMX bicycles.
Keep the schools closed and refuse to punish lawlessness.
I'm so glad every white liberal has moved to Miami or the Catskills. Too scared to deal with the bullshit they voted for. https://t.co/PPjy8ihuem
— Gavin Mario Wax ???????? (@GavinWax) December 30, 2020
The youthful offenders appeared shameless about the mass vandalism and criminal damage, laughing with glee as other teenagers threw bicycles at a car for what seemed to be no reason.
It appears that some of the motorists the youths attacked in the gang assault were elderly people.
Crimes ranging from property offenses to homicide have exploded in frequency in New York City in 2020, with many commentators pointing to the summer's mass riots and Mayor Bill de Blasio's politically correct "racial justice" approach to policing. As the youths subjected the innocent to a violent taste of anarch0-tyranny, the Democrat was publicly shaming a woman for reporting a stolen cell phone.
This is racism. Plain and simple.
It would be horrific at any age, but it's especially offensive that it happened to a child.
To Keyon Harrold Jr. and his family: I am so sorry this happened to you. Her behavior was an affront to our city's values. https://t.co/xuWRyHTJmW

Owning and carrying a firearm in the far-left city is next to impossible, with law-abiding patriots largely powerless to defend themselves if attacked by a large group.

Our beginnings: A quest for equality
A group of medical professionals puzzled over the same question: Why do women take prenatal supplements and men don't? It highlighted a lopsided view of conception held for decades. By focusing almost solely on the women's egg, the medical establishment had left out half of the equation.
Imagine A World Where Men Stressed About Their Sperm Supply As Much As Women Stress About Their Egg Counts. Read more >
However, new science had taught these experts that healthy sperm matters. They also recognized the way men live their lives contributes not only to their fertility but also the health of their offspring. That vision sparked a quest to give men the power to shape their reproductive destinies.
A company born of the newest science
This latest science—including breakthrough discoveries in areas such as epigenetics—also spawned the AlphaSperm story. The people behind it include Paul Turek M.D., one of the world's leading experts in male reproductive health and the founder of male reproductive health and fertility clinics in Beverly Hills, Silicon Valley, and San Francisco. Eduardo Dolhun M.D. is a Mayo Clinic educated and trained, board-certified family physician as well as an expert in micronutrients and healthy hydration. Carolyn Givens M.D is a board-certified in obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She practices in San Francisco and is also on the faculty of the University of California, San Francisco. Natalie Ledesma MS, RDN, CSO, CLT is a board-certified specialist in oncology and nutrition at the University of California, San Francisco.
These professionals put their complementary expertise together in the quest for a way that men can regain power over their reproductive health. After five years of research, they developed the first prenatal vitamin and micronutrition supplement for men.
AlphaSperm forms the core of a philosophy around having a healthy baby. When a couple makes a baby, the man and the woman both contribute an equal amount of genetic material—23 chromosomes in the sperm and 23 chromosomes in the egg. Supporting the production of high-quality sperm—in sufficient quantities and with strong swimming skills—requires a healthy male body. Stopping tobacco, cannabis, hot baths, too much drinking, poor sleep, and poor dietary habits all represent a good place to start on a path to a successful pregnancy.
AlphaSperm — The boost modern men need to supplement a healthy reproductive lifestyle
In addition, the latest science has shown that certain vitamins, micronutrients and antioxidants contribute to healthy sperm production. Taken for a sustained period of time—from one to nine months prior to conception—a male prenatal may offer key advantages such as protecting the sperm's precious DNA cargo from oxidative stress. AlphaSperm gives you the most essential antioxidants and micronutrients in a formula that uses only the highest-quality natural ingredients.
We hope you will join the men and women around the world who have begun sharing equally in having the most wonderful baby they can.
Paul Turek M.D.
Dr. Paul Turek is a Stanford Medical School trained, board-certified urologist and former Full Professor and Endowed Chair in Urology at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF). As the inventor of sperm mapping, he is recognized as one of the world's top male reproductive health and fertility physicians and surgeons.
Dr. Turek founded the world-renowned Turek Clinics in Beverly Hills, San Francisco and Silicon Valley. He is also a founding member of Clinic by the Bay, which provides 100% free medical care for the working uninsured. Every year, his clinical and surgical work in male reproduction and sexual health helps thousands of severely fertility-challenged couples from all parts of the globe successfully conceive children.

PLA officer urges Sino-Russia border stability
Updated: 2011-11-16 00:29
BEIJING - Senior Chinese military officer Chen Bingde on Tuesday urged joint efforts to maintain the stability and peace of China-Russia border areas.
Chen, chief of the General Staff of Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), made the remarks while meeting with Vladimir Pronichev, chief of Russian Border Guard Service.
Chen said China and Russia have successfully solved their border problems with care and commitments of their top leaders, which laid solid foundation for common prosperity of and ever-lasting friendship between the two countries.
In recent years, border guard departments of both sides had carried out effective cooperation in maintaining security and stability in border areas, Chen said.
China-Russia border has bridged the friendship and cooperation between the two peoples, he said.
Chen expressed the hope that both sides will further strengthen coordination, jointly respond to new threats and challenges -- so as to maintain stability and peace of border areas.
In 2004, China and Russia inked a treaty over their eastern border, putting an end to 40 years of border negotiations and getting rid of the biggest hindrance to the development of the bilateral relationship.
Pronichev hailed the progress of bilateral border guard cooperation. He said the area is of great significance to maintaining border security and providing a sound environment for regional economic development.
In recent years, the two countries' border services have conducted close cooperation in border areas, including protecting wild animals and combating illegal fishing.
In the first meeting of China-Russia Joint Border Inspection Committee which concluded in Moscow on Nov 11, the two countries launched their first-ever joint border inspection, which is seen as a significant move to ensuring peace, stability and development in the border areas.

Title: Bane's Choice
Author: Alyssa Day
Series: Vampire Motorcycle Club (Book 1)
Page Length: 400
Publication Date: Oct. 27, 2020
Publisher: Entangled: Amara
Synopsis: When a centuries-old vampire in search of redemption meets a doctor who's on a mission of her own, a searing, world-destroying passion is the last thing on either of their minds.
Minds can be changed.
A doctor with secrets of her own is drawn to a dangerous predator in this pulse-pounding paranormal romance from New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Day.
What better way to hide the existence of vampires from humans than in plain sight? Thus, the Vampire Motorcycle Club was born. Bane, the 300-year-old vampire who leads the club, has fought for years to protect his kind. But the truth about vampires is not only that they exist, it is that they are creatures of pure desire. Conscience and restraint has been burned out of them by the process of Turning. Any woman Bane meets is either prey—or food.
Dr. Ryan St. Cloud finds out that vampires exist when one steals her patient out of the hospital right beneath her nose, leading her to question her own sanity. But when the dangerous man whose touch inflames her senses and whose gaze enthralls her comes to her for help, she is unable to refuse. Bane is a dangerous predator, but somewhere beneath his arrogance and power, she can see his heart—and she knows it could belong to her if she is strong enough to claim it. She is bound to a vampire, but loving her would be … Bane's Choice.
LINKS: Goodreads | Amazon | Book Depository
My Review:
When Bane goes to the hospital to take his mortally wounded friend in the hopes of turning him, he meets the fiery Dr. Ryan St. Cloud. Intelligent, sassy, and fierce, Ryan is the first person in a long time to challenge Bane, and he is instantly intrigued. Who is this fascinating and intelligent woman, and why does she move him so? On top of that, how does she resist his powers, and why does she glow?
Ryan is shocked when she sees a stranger trying to steal her patient. However, she never expected to be thrust into a world of vampires and a supernatural battle for power. She also never expected to fall for the mysterious and handsome kidnapper. As her feelings for Bane grow, can Ryan protect her heart and her patient?
Ryan is such an interesting character and one of my favorites in the story. A human immersed in a supernatural world that was previously unknown to her, Ryan hides her fear and stands up to Bane and his intimidating peers. I like her gumption, her take-charge personality, and her humor. Take a look at one of her more sarcastic moments:
"I'm not sure you should thank me, Doctor. I'm the villain in your story."
She gave him a long look. "You're taking too much credit. Maybe you can be part of a subplot?"
I love how Ryan's humor and sarcasm not only brings a bit of light-heartedness to the story, but it also breaks down the wall that Bane built around his heart. As the leader of his motorcycle club and head of his household, Bane shoulders a lot of responsibility, and, as a long-living vampire, he's experienced a lot of loss. Ryan makes him feel things he hasn't felt in a long time, and Bane makes Ryan feel desired. They fill voids in each other's lives, challenge each other, and are really attracted to each other, which leads to a chemistry-laden romance. Get a fan, because Ryan and Bane's sexy scenes are swoon-tastic!
Bane's sister Maera is another intriguing character. Like Ryan, Maera is a strong, independent woman who is unwilling to bend to the alpha males that fill her life. She is loyal to a fault and respected by her family. Sharp and fierce, Maera is also vulnerable and loving. Though Maera isn't the main focus of the story, she leaves a strong impression, and I'm hopeful that her story will be further explored in future books. I also like that Ryan and Maera developed a friendship. Often, women become competition or rivals in romance novels, and I like that the author took Ryan and Maera's relationship in a different direction.
Other minor characters, like Edge, Mrs. C, and Luke are dynamic additions to the story, and their camaraderie is funny and heart-warming. I also like the plot, which includes a battle for power among the supernatural. Warlocks and necromancers threaten the precarious peace among the vampires and wolves. As the battle heats up, Bane and his family must do everything they can to protect their people as well as themselves, which grows increasingly more difficult.
Bane's Choice is a well-paced, immersive, and sexy story that will appeal to readers of supernatural romance. The story wraps-up nicely while still leaving some questions unanswered, which I liked. I'm curious to learn more about Ryan. What is she? How does she resist the powers of the vampires? What will happen to Maera and her potential love interest? Will the warlocks cause more trouble? I can't wait to find out! Thanks so much to Netgalley, Alyssa Day, and Entangled Publishing for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
Favorite Parts:
- The romance, of course! Bane and Ryan have fantastic chemistry, and their witty banter is fabulous. I loved their love story!
- The humorous dialogue offers a bit of levity in this intense romance. The dialogue in general is well done.
- The representation of strong, independent women.
Favorite Lines:
Nothing was more important than family, even to a man who'd forgotten how to feel.
She offered a tentative smile of her own, and it was as if the sun itself had decided to shine through the roof of his home and down upon him. He wanted to curl up in the warmth of her smile and stay there for hours.
Your tears are merely your heart's goodness overflowing.

Earlier today, Rainbow Six Siege streamed the much-awaited US Division draws for the upcoming North American League (NAL). The NAL will start off with the US Division next week, so here's everything you need to know about it.
In the live stream, we got to see some compelling decisions from all the team captains, which eventually led to forming these strong groups.
Group A: Spacestation Gaming, Disrupt Gaming, eUnited, Oxygen Esports
Group B: TSM, Sonqis, DarkZero Esports, Tempo Storm
On Mondays and Wednesdays, the US Division will be broadcasted live starting at 6:00 PM EDT. On Fridays, the Canadian Division will take place in the same time slot, followed directly by the US and Canada Challenger Leagues.
The US Division's inaugural season will have a total prize pool of $250,000 USD, and the Canadian Division will have a prize pool of $90,000 USD to compete for. For a full breakdown of the prize pool see Ubisoft's blog post.
All these new exciting games will be brought to the viewers by some of the best talents in Siege esports. The talent line-up includes Analyst Velly, fan-favorite caster duo Kixstar-Interro and many more new faces, who will be bringing the live intense actions from the new Faceit studio in Las Vegas.
Additional Changes
The following uniform and headgear cosmetics are whitelisted for use in competition:
- Pilot Program 1 & 2 team skins
- Pro League Gold Sets
- Default Skins
- Future Phase 3 Esport Skins
All other uniforms and headgear are banned from competitive play. There are no restrictions on weapon skins or charms.
This should be a noticeable improvement for the Pro players, as they have been criticizing for a while now about the various in-game skins used to gain an unfair advantage.
Iana and Oryx also have finished their three-month grace period, so they will be added to the NAL operator pool. It should be pretty interesting to see how the Pro teams implement these new operators in their strategies.
The new league kicks off June 22nd at 6:00 PM EDT, and you can catch the live action on Twitch, Youtube, and Mixer.
