The handle
The handle is made of MOS bamboo, an environmentally sustainable timber. Bamboo is technically considered a member of the grass family. It is the fastest growing plant on earth, and incredibly abundant. The bamboo is cultivated for between three to five years, and then harvested. It re-generates itself naturally, with minimal rain and without the need for harmful pesticides. In fact, by harvesting and using the bamboo, we help to control unwanted spread into agricultural and natural forest areas. The bamboo is grown by many local farmers (NOT PLANTATION).
The bamboo is heat treated to carbonise the surface of the bamboo, giving it a quality finish and good service life. The carbonisation finishing process provides water resistance and prevents the growth of microbes (bacteria and moulds) during normal use.
The bristles
The bristles are made from a polymer resistant to microbial growth during normal use, to ensure safety and durability.
We recommend you rinse and dry your toothbrush after use to keep it clean.
Disposing of your toothbrush
For best results, most dentist's recommend you replace your toothbrush either monthly or at least every quarter some even say use it until it stops.
To answer the main question, HOW LONG DOES IT LAST? - We test drove a toothbrush for over 8 months so yes they last (not that we suggest you do that).
The Environmental Toothbrush can be disposed of safely by returning it to earth in compost or landfill. Both the bamboo and bristles will biodegrade into soil, without pollution.
The panda
China's Giant Panda consumes the soft bamboo shoots, stems and leaves as its main food source. The Environmental Toothbrush honours this environmental mascot in the logo. Because bamboo is so abundant, sustainable and renewable our use does not impact on the food source of the Giant Panda in fact they do not like the MOSO bamboo.

Never using anything else again :-)26 Oct, 2016, By Janet
Ive just bought my third replacement brush - have been using these for about 2 years... LOVE it. I do prefer the soft bristles to the medium ones, but of course that is personal preference. Highly recommended product, very much worth it.
I love this toothbrush02 Aug, 2016, By Deanne
The bristles are nice and soft and its not abrasive on my teeth at all. I don see the point in buying a commercial toothbrush when this one does the job and saves the environment. Will definitely keep purchasing it.
Soft toothbrush02 Jun, 2016, By Sam
Love my toothbrush - am never going to buy anything else. I tend to brush quite hard so the soft bristles are perfect!!! Best thing is that I feel rocks now about discarding it when its lifespan is over...no worries about creating more toxic landfill
The best11 Mar, 2016, By Sandra
Love these toothbrushes - I won use anything else.
Great22 Dec, 2015, By Jaco
The bristles are nice and soft which works well with my sensitive gums. It is important to let the toothbrush dry after every use though because I think it could get mouldy rather quickly.
Gentle06 Oct, 2015, By Justin
Like some others here I too am guilty of brushing harder than I should, the soft brush cleans perfectly and is very gentle on the gums.
great toothbrush!16 Sep, 2015, By sasha
Very soft and gentle on the gums, and the company is cruelty-free and does not test on animals, like just about every other dental care company in South Africa. Will buy again and again.
Toothbrush15 Apr, 2015, By M. Paloma Werner
After first getting the medium toothbrush, which I found too hard I switched to the soft one and it is perfect. I love the fact that it is biodegradable and the wood looks nice.
Best toothbrush11 Dec, 2014, By Tara
I love this toothbrush! The fact that its bio-degradeable and sustainable to produce makes it wonderful. The product itself is great, cleans my teeth and does its job! Would recommend it to everyone to use. I use the soft bristle on as it is gentler on my gums as I tend to brush too hard.
Loving this product! None of those silly toothbrush gimmicks.By Jessica
Loving this product! None of those silly toothbrush gimmicks. Although I think next time I will go for the medium bristle because the soft is a bit too soft for my liking.
I think it was in my previous order I ordered the wooden toothbrushes for me and my son - both of us, LOVE our toothbrushes!
By Melanie
I think it was in my previous order I ordered the wooden toothbrushes for me and my son - both of us, LOVE our
toothbrushes! It feels as if cleanses and brushes much better that the traditional x-brands lol,
and even my son prefers the wooden one above his spider-man brush - and that must say a lot,
can you believe it lol? -

We are really enjoying the eco-toothbrushes. We've had to write our names on them because there is no way of telling them apart, other than size, but they are comfortable to brush with and quite smart-looking too!

Revive is a pixelated puzzle platformer in which you defy death, define life, and jump in puddles of syrup.
It is also a spiritual successor (in more ways than one) to a game of mine called Respawn.
Man, this project started small and snowballed into something more complex and personal over time. Four months of care were put into Revive's design, so without giving too much away, I hope you enjoy the ride.
Also, let me know if you find any glitches anywhere, and I will address them when I can!
[List of Fixes]
The Time Trial Run medal point value has been increased, slight changes have been made to the controls (such as pressing UP to jump), the collision detection on forks has been improved, and a couple of problems with the main menu are now gone.
I've heard the controls stick for some people. Not sure what would cause this, so if anyone can provide more details about this (like when it happens, what browser you're using, etc.), let me know.
A video walkthrough is now available: youtube.com/watch?v=VfVUZ hMHp-E
A novel concept, but all-in-all not enough to keep me interested for long.
Any idea how I could make things like this "enough to stay interesting"?
This game is absolutely outstanding. Probably one of the best games I've seen from you! Aside from the Riddle Games, of course!
I don't know..you may or may not get these comments alot but I miss the Riddle games! I'm sorry..I know you have moved on and you didn't want to continue them for reasons I read about on your page...I just miss them thats all. I'm not asking you to start them up again...I'm just telling you how awesome they were. :)
BACK TO THIS GAME: I thought this game was extremely well thought out. I think the whole 8-bit theme was creative and I honestly couldn't see me enjoying this game any more if it were even the slightest bit changed...except for the grapefruit, which always annoyed me because at first I thought I was supposed to get them! :) Other than that, an overall wonderful game. Great job :)
An excellent game overall, with great gameplay, a good plot, and some great puzzles. The only criticism I have to offer is that there could be a 3rd ending, for completing the whole game, but without all of the grapefruits collected.
Holy shit, the sountrack asdfghjk. It's challenging and unique, with a plot that seems like a move. Enjoy making the first game I've given 5 stars to.

Rat Robot Beats on Live Rats to Make Them Depressedhttp://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/medical-robots/ratbot-beats-on-live-rats-to-make-them-depressed
Rat Robot Beats on Live Rats to Make Them Depressed POSTED BY: Evan Ackerman / Wed, February 13, 2013 One of the two rats in the above picture isn't really a rat. One of the two rats in the above picture is, in fact, a robot. Look closely and you can just barely figure it out. Meanwhile, the rat that isn't a robot is seriously depressed, because that's what this robot specializes in: rat depression. I should hope that you're wondering right now just why they heck someone would design a robot that exists only to instill depression in rats, since that seems kind of terrifying, to be honest. Fortunately, there's a simple answer: we need depressed rats to be able to test drugs that treat depression. Before trying drugs out on humans, they get tested on animals, and if you think you've got a drug that can safely make depressed people less depressed, it first needs to be able to safely make depressed rats less depressed, and that requires a bunch of depressed rats. There are already some accepted ways to make a normal rat into a depressed rat. For example, you can force it to swim for long periods, or you can put it into a box and give it electric shocks. Do these things often enough, and you'll be left with one seriously unhappy rat. However, the problem with these methods is that humans don't usually experience depression like this: with some exceptions that nobody likes to talk about, prolonged swimming and shocks aren't the cause of most depression in humans, and researchers at Waseda University in Tokyo are trying to come up with a more accurate model by causing depression in rats with other (robotic) rats. This robot, called WR-3, is basically an attack robot. It has three modes, or "behavior generation algorithms," which include chasing, continuous attacking, and interactive attacking. Chasing means that WR-3 will attempt to maintain a minimum distance from the rat but not actually attack it. Continuous attacking is, well, continuous attacking with aggressive body motions and physical contact. Interactive attacking only attacks the rat whenever it moves at set distance, which (to me) is the most sinister mode of all. <snip>

2. How about just not beating up on people so much?
Researchers seem to know how depression is instilled. Society beats up on people. Treat the cause, and people (and rats) can experiment with less drugs.

Treat the cause: heavily sedate the assholes and sociopaths, and fewer normal people will get depressed.

9. Agreed, however that's not how great fortunes are made.
Demoralizing and exhausting others by whatever means, causes people to give into oppessors just to leave them alone. It's an unavoidable response to battering.
The technique is used to set one's self above others by those who don't respect others or believe in equality. Those attacked end up paying the others just to leave them alone. Works great. |

4. No wonder my profession is so
screwed up.
So we torture rats and make them depressed. Then we feed them pharmaceuticals to see which one makes them 'well'. Then we give those to humans to make them 'well'. Of course, as a psychotherapist not interested in the constant drug-them to heal-them approach to psychology, the obvious solution for much of human depression is... stopping the behaviors that cause someone like a rat or human to become depressed. If any creature is being beaten on and tortured, in reality or in metaphor, they will be become situationally depressed. If you remove the 'robot', then the rat or human will often return to 'normal' with guidance and assistance without the need for drugs to 'cure' a problem that doesn't naturally exist to begin with. On a final note, I am generally not a 'bleeding heart' about animals, however, as a rat owner and breeder, I find this sort of testing truly saddening. It is not really helping us humans to deal with life and its vicissitudes, and it is creating unnecessary suffering for these lovely and intelligent creatures. I have taken in abused rats where kids or other rats in a mischief have needlessly attacked them like this robot does. Rarely do they return to their normal happy & playful state of being. |

8. So basically,
They found that the best way to create depression is to bully the piss out of them while they're young, and then occasionally have a go later...
Instead of drug trials, why don't we try serious anti bullying campaigns. Sorry but I was harangued tirelessly in school and this whole thing is depressing on several levels. |

Ugly, Poor quality, and very bad smell! The wood in this couch is nice and very pretty, The cushion is really bad. The material is cheep, and actually has a bad smell. Also took three people almost all day to assemble! This was taken to our cabin that happens to be way out in the mountains. So I have no way of returning it. I'm very sorry I purchased this couch and would love to have my money back!

I wouldn't have wanted to put it together (quite a lot of pieces!), but my son-in-law said it wasn't too bad. Very pleased with my purchase.

Worth every penny! Wow, is the word I would use in regards to this futon. The base is heavy and both pieces meaning the frame and the mattress are made of excellent quality. Not the cheap stuff. Especially love the drawers down below. Since I have company on a monthly basis it allows my family/friend to feel more at home because they have their own personal drawers and do not have to keep digging into a suitcase. "Helps keep the area clean too if ur guest has a lot of stuff" The only dreadful aspect was putting the futon together. It took my friend and I from 8pm to 3am to put it together. But the finished product is well worth it! It's a must have for a spare room or as an additional bed. Also u DO NOT feel a metal bar in ur back when lying down so u can sleep comfortably. It's crazy when my back starts to hurt or spasm I will sleep on the futon vs my orthopedic mattress. The futon feels better to me and great to sleep on.

People who invest or want to live in Golf Course Estates. The target audience ranges from young people with a passion for Golf, through to retirees wanting to live in securely, gated communities.
We are putting out a newsletter and require a logo. The newsletter is free and will go out to 7,500 residences bi-monthly. The logo needs to have a similar feel to our current logo which can be found at http://www.locateproperties.com.au.
The only other requirement is it must be horizontal as the top banner of the newsletter is narrow.
The logo is for 'Golf Course Living', the name of the newsletter.
I didn't put a huge prize on this because it's not going to be a brand of any sort, it's simply something that will look good and get noticed on our newsletter rather than simply typing 'Golf Course Living' on the header I thought it may look good with designers touch.

Transcendental Meditation
Transcendental Meditation (TM) refers to a specific form of mantra meditation called the Transcendental Meditation technique,[1] and less commonly to the organizations that constitute the Transcendental Meditation movement.[1][2] Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1918–2008) introduced the TM technique and TM movement in India, in the mid-1950s.
The Maharishi taught thousands of people during a series of world tours from 1958 to 1965, expressing his teachings in spiritual and religious terms.[3][4] TM became more popular in the 1960s and 1970s, as the Maharishi shifted to a more technical presentation, and his meditation technique was practiced by celebrities. At this time, he began training TM teachers and created specialized organizations to present TM to specific segments of the population such as business people and students. By the early 2000s, TM had been taught to millions of people, and the worldwide TM organization had grown to include educational programs, health products, and related services.
The TM technique involves the use of a sound or mantra, and is practiced for 15–20 minutes twice per day. It is taught by certified teachers through a standard course of instruction, which costs a fee that varies by country. According to the Transcendental Meditation movement, it is a method for relaxation, stress reduction, and self-development. Varying views on whether the technique is religious or non-religious have been expressed including by sociologists, scholars, and a New Jersey court.[4][5][6]
TM is one of the most widely practiced and researched meditation techniques.[7][8][9] It is impossible to say whether or not it has any effect on health, as the research to date is of poor quality.[10][11]
Transcendental Meditation dates its origin back to the Vedic traditions of India.[12] The Transcendental Meditation program and the Transcendental Meditation movement originated with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the organization, and continue beyond his death in 2008. In 1955,[13][14][15] "the Maharishi began publicly teaching a traditional meditation technique"[16] learned from his master Brahmananda Saraswati that he called Transcendental Deep Meditation[17] and later renamed Transcendental Meditation.[18] The Maharishi initiated thousands of people, then developed a TM teacher training program as a way to accelerate the rate of bringing the technique to more people.[18][19] He also inaugurated a series of world tours which promoted Transcendental Meditation.[20] These factors, coupled with endorsements by celebrities who practiced TM and claims that scientific research had validated the technique, helped to popularize TM in the 1960s and 1970s. By the late 2000s, TM had been taught to millions of individuals and the Maharishi was overseeing a large multinational movement.[21] Despite organizational changes and the addition of advanced meditative techniques in the 1970s,[22] the Transcendental Meditation technique has remained relatively unchanged.
Among the first organizations to promote TM were the Spiritual Regeneration Movement and the International Meditation Society. In modern times, the movement has grown to encompass schools and universities that teach the practice,[23] and includes many associated programs based on the Maharishi's interpretation of the Vedic traditions. In the U.S., non-profit organizations included the Students International Meditation Society,[24] AFSCI,[25] World Plan Executive Council, Maharishi Vedic Education Development Corporation, Global Country of World Peace and Maharishi Foundation.[26] The successor to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and leader of the Global Country of World Peace, is Tony Nader.[27][28]
The meditation practice involves the use of a mantra for 15–20 minutes twice per day while sitting with the eyes closed.[29][30] It is reported to be one of the most widely practiced,[31][32] and among the most widely researched, meditation techniques,[7][8][9][33] with hundreds of published research studies.[34][35][36] The technique is made available worldwide by certified TM teachers in a seven-step course,[37] and fees vary from country to country.[38][39] Beginning in 1965, the Transcendental Meditation technique has been incorporated into selected schools, universities, corporations, and prison programs in the US, Latin America, Europe, and India. In 1977 a US district court ruled that a curriculum in TM and the Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI) being taught in some New Jersey schools was religious in nature and in violation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.[5][40] The technique has since been included in a number of educational and social programs around the world.[41]
The Transcendental Meditation technique has been described as both religious and non-religious, as an aspect of a new religious movement, as rooted in Hinduism,[42][43] and as a non-religious practice for self-development.[44][45][46] The public presentation of the TM technique over its 50-year history has been praised for its high visibility in the mass media and effective global propagation, and criticized for using celebrity and scientific endorsements as a marketing tool. Advanced courses supplement the TM technique and include an advanced meditation program called the TM-Sidhi program.[47]
The Transcendental Meditation movement refers to the programs and organizations connected with the Transcendental Meditation technique and founded by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Transcendental Meditation was first taught in the 1950s in India and has continued since the Maharishi's death in 2008. The organization was estimated to have 900,000 participants worldwide in 1977,[48] a million by the 1980s,[49][50][51] and 5 million in more recent years,[52][53][54][55][56][57][58] including some notable practitioners.
Programs include the Transcendental Meditation technique, an advanced meditation practice called the TM-Sidhi program ("Yogic Flying"), an alternative health care program called Maharishi Ayurveda,[59] and a system of building and architecture called Maharishi Sthapatya Ved.[60][61] The TM movement's past and present media endeavors include a publishing company (MUM Press), a television station (KSCI), a radio station (KHOE), and a satellite television channel (Maharishi Channel). During its 50-year history, its products and services have been offered through a variety of organizations, which are primarily nonprofit and educational. These include the Spiritual Regeneration Movement, the International Meditation Society, World Plan Executive Council, Maharishi Vedic Education Development Corporation, the Global Country of World Peace, and the David Lynch Foundation.
The TM movement also operates a worldwide network of Transcendental Meditation teaching centers, schools, universities, health centers, herbal supplements, solar panel, and home financing companies, plus several TM-centered communities. The global organization is reported to have an estimated net worth of USD 3.5 billion.[62][63] The TM movement has been characterized in a variety of ways and has been called a spiritual movement, a new religious movement,[64][65] a millenarian movement, a world affirming movement,[66] a new social movement,[67] a guru-centered movement,[68] a personal growth movement,[69] a religion, and a cult.[65][70][71][need quotation to verify] Additional sources contend that TM and its movement are not a cult.[72][73][74][75] Participants in TM programs are not required to adopt a belief system; it is practiced by atheists, agnostics and people from a variety of religious affiliations.[76][77][78][79] The organization has also been criticized as well as praised for its public presentation and marketing techniques throughout its 50-year history.
Health effects[edit]
The first studies of the health effects of Transcendental Meditation appeared in the early 1970s.[80] Robert Keith Wallace, the founding president of Maharishi University of Management, published a study in Science in 1970 reporting that TM induced distinct physiologic changes and a novel state of consciousness in practitioners.[81] In contrast, a 1976 study by independent researchers found that TM was biochemically similar to sitting with one's eyes closed.[82] A second 1976 study of five subjects found that TM practitioners spent much of their meditation time napping rather than in the unique "wakeful hypometabolic state" described by Wallace.[83] By 2004 the US government had given more than $20 million to Maharishi University of Management to study the effect of meditation on health.[84]
It is currently not possible to say whether meditation has any effect on health, as the research to date has been of poor quality,[10][11] including a high risk for bias due to the connection of researchers to the TM organization and the selection of subjects with a favorable opinion of TM.[85][86][87] Most independent systematic reviews have not found health benefits for TM exceeding those produced by other relaxation techniques or health education.[10][88][89] A 2013 statement from the American Heart Association said that TM could be considered as a treatment for hypertension, although other interventions such as exercise and device-guided breathing were more effective and better supported by clinical evidence.[90] A 2014 systematic review and meta-analysis funded by the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality found no evidence that mantra meditation programs such as TM were effective in reducing psychological stress or improving well-being.[91][92] A 2015 systematic review and meta-analysis found that TM may effectively reduce blood pressure compared to a control groups, although the underlying studies may have been biased and further studies with better designs are needed to confirm these results.[93] A 2014 Cochrane review found that it was impossible to draw any conclusions about whether TM is effective in preventing cardiovascular disease, as the scientific literature on TM was limited and at "serious risk of bias".[94]
Maharishi Effect[edit]
In the 1960s, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi described a paranormal effect that he claimed a significant number of individuals (1% of the people in a given area) practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique (TM) could have on the local environment.[95] This hypothetical influence was later termed the Maharishi Effect. With the introduction of the TM-Sidhi program in 1976, Maharishi proposed that the square root of one percent of the population practicing the TM-Sidhi program, together at the same time and in the same place, would increase "life-supporting trends". This was referred to as the "Extended Maharishi Effect".[96][97] Evidence, which TM practitioners[98] believe supports the existence of the effect, has been said to lack a causal basis.[99] The evidence was said to result from cherry-picked data[100] and the credulity of believers.[99][101]

There is no public worship, no code of ethics, no scriptures to be studied, and no rites of passage that are observed, such as dietary laws, giving to the poor, or pilgrimages. In particular, there is no real TM community: practitioners do not characteristically meet together for public worship, but simply recite the mantra, as they have been taught it, not as religious obligation, but simply as a technique to benefit themselves, their surroundings and the wider world."

For example, TM is simply – as they state – a technique. Although it enables one to cope with life, it offers no goal beyond human existence (such as moksha), nor does it offer rites or passage or an ethic. Unlike certain other Hindu-derived movements, TM does not prescribe a dharma to its followers – that is to say a set of spiritual obligations deriving from one's essential nature.

All 4 positive trials recruited subjects from among people favourably predisposed towards TM, and used passive control procedures … The association observed between positive outcome, subject selection procedure and control procedure suggests that the large positive effects reported in 4 trials result from an expectation effect. The claim that TM has a specific and cumulative effect on cognitive function is not supported by the evidence from randomized controlled trials.

A few studies of overall poor methodological quality were available for each comparison in the meta-analyses, most of which reported nonsignificant results.

Parmi | #1 draft pick | Jake King is **** | Big Bash League tipping champion of the universeCome and Paint Turtle
it was your typical staged fight just with the entire line involved; so pretty pathetic. There wasn't any reason for it. It's just that the flames decided that their starting skaters would be their fourth liners, and their starters are announced first cause they are the away team, so the Canucks just played along rather than send out the Twins. Cue lame fights and Torts going insane on the bench

Spring here in Missouri is coming a little slow. I am beginning to wonder if we are going to have one? We had a few nice days and the jonquils made an appearance, Then we had bad wind and 3 inches of rain and most of them are on the ground. I should have picked some, but I had no plans for company and I just adore them in the garden, I have so many varieties and they are such a welcome sight when they appear. Now the red buds and other flowering trees are starting to show signs of life and it has turned cold and we had a frost last night. I am hoping it did not hurt the trees. It is to warm up again today. Let's hope for the best, My neighbor has a new saucier magnolia tree she planted last year and it is just over loaded with big pink blooms. It is right outside my kitchen window and it is such a joy to watch it blossom into life.
I turned the heat off for the last time now till fall. If it gets cold Sissy and I will just have to suffer. That big old house is a cave when it comes to heating it. I so much enjoy this time and fall when we need no heat or air conditioning. Seems like those days are few and far between as it has turned hot or cold over night theses days.
I went to my antique mall this morning and thought it needed a touch of spring. I have a empty booth, waiting for a new dealer to move in, so I made a little spring display. That is what I'd like to share with you today. For some reason, wicker furniture always reminds me of spring, the porch and the garden. I just happened to have a few pieces on hand, so I gathered them for this display. The tea cart is fresh from my screen porch this morning. I want to put a white cabinet out there with a small TV set and I had to make room. Something had to go. I thought the tea cart was the best item as I never use it and it is just there taking up room. I do love it and I hope someday soon, some one else will love it as well.
My little antique mall is located on the riverfront of my Historic home town of Clarksville,Mo. I call it the Downtown Antique mall as there is another mall at the edge of town. I have 7 dealers beside my self. They are all great dealers and do a good job of display, which makes my job much easier. We are about 70 miles from St.Louis and in the middle of no where. We depend on tourist and some times we have a lot and others only a few. I am hoping this spring day, that the weather man has promised, well bring a few and they have money in there pockets and are willing to spend it.
I hope you enjoy the tour. Come anytime for a real one. I will always leave the lights on and open up anytime. Sissy and I only live 2 blocks away. She will always meet you with a jump and a kiss. Come shop and get something new for your porch!
Couldn't resist, this car just went past the shop window. I want one, how about you all? |

Our friends at Bet Wrestling sent us the following:
Both the Raw Tag Champs Anderson and Gallows as well as Cruiserweight Champion Neville are favored to win their matches and retain those championships.
Roman Reigns is slightly favored to beat Braun Strowman and as a side note Irish sports book Paddy Power has a prop bet at 1/2(-200) that the Undertaker will appear at ringside for this match. This would further build to the rumored Mania match between Roman and Taker. The 1/2 odds mean a $2 bet would yield $1 or in other words Taker is favored to show up and get involved in the match.
Other matches see Samoa Joe heavily favored to beat Sami Zayn, and is fact the most favored of anyone to win at Fastlane. Sasha Banks is slightly favored to beat Nia Jax which is puzzling considered the monster push Jax has been getting all along. Finally the team of Rich Swann and Akira Tozawa are slightly favored to beat Brian Kendrick and Noam Dar in a tag match.
A quick explanation of these odds would be that the minus indicated the favorite and the plus for the underdog. The number after the plus or minus tells us how favored or unfavored the competitors are. For example, betting $1350 on Goldberg at -1350 would only win $100 because he is so favored but it would only take a successful $100 bet on Owens at +650 to win $650 due to Kevin being the underdog. The odds are constantly changing and can be followed in real time.
WWE Universal Championship
Kevin Owens(c) +650 vs Goldberg -1350
WWE Raw Women's Championship
Bayley(c) +850 vs Charlotte Flair -1750
WWE Raw Tag Team Championship
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson(c) -300 vs Enzo Amore & Big Cass +220
WWE Cruiserweight Championship
Neville (c) -460 vs Jack Gallagher +320
Roman Reigns -150 vs Braun Strowman +110 (Undertaker has odds of -200 to show up at ringside)
Sami Zayn +1000 vs Samoa Joe -2000
Sasha Banks -230 vs Nia Jax +170
Rich Swann & Akira Tozawa -215 vs The Brian Kendrick & Noam Dar +165

Our Ministry
Our Catholic Identity
The Saint John Vianney Center provides a holistic, inter-disciplinary, evidence-based approach using best practices in the treatment of behavioral health and addictive diseases for Catholic Clergy, Men and Women Religious and other Christian denominations. Our approach begins from Christ's healing presence and integrates collaborative treatment of mind, body and spirit with each person's vocational journey.
The Vianney Difference
The Saint John Vianney Center follows the example of our patron Saint John Vianney who exemplified listening first. To listen is to walk and companion with another person in their journey with the Lord. We listen to each person's story and value each person's personal and spiritual gifts to facilitate self-directed rediscovery of the Lord's presence and understanding. Much like the Gospel stories of the disciples on the road to Emmaus after leaving Jerusalem, life's journey can be filled with having been witness to much suffering, broken hopes and dreams. We strive to be as the Lord is to each of us; companions along the journey.
The Saint John Vianney Center is built upon reverence. Our treatment team and staff honor and respect the dignity of every person. We never judge, but understand with compassion.
Our long tradition of excellence in healing, recovery, and reconciliation interwoven with faith and hope are the hallmarks that differentiate us from others in the field. We address the multi-dimensional nature of the healing process and help each individual to function at their highest level and continue in vocational life.
Just like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, we walk that road with our brothers and sisters and we strive to bring the hope and joy of the Risen Jesus Christ to His disciples.
This is our hope.
This is healing.
This is recovery and reconciliation.
