The Mortalitas are an infamous race of mosasaurians native to the mysterious and unexplored starcluster of Mortiol in the out lying regions of the Cyrannus galaxy.
The Mortalitas are known to have large swaths of space in the Quadrant Galaxies and the Cyrannus Galaxy, where tensions have risen in the last century, mainly between the nations of the Libertus. They are members in the Confederacy of Allied Systems, however they have a huge degree of independence.
Early BeginningsEdit
The Mortalitas Empire's origins can be traced back over 11,000 years, during their civilization stage. The Mortalitas Homeworld originally was home to many city-states, which constantly battled one another for the control of the planet's limited resources. Nations that attempted to be peaceful, and share their resources were quickly crushed.
The world was on the brink of total anarchy. Citizens took up arms against their leaders, and the planet loomed over a dark era.
However, then the day came when a new leader arose. Emperor Zilonan, a charismatic young Mortalitas strived to bring chaos to order. Using his political skills, he united two warring city states, and founded the United Morta Empire, the beginning of the shape of things to come.
Zilonan knew that in order to advance the Mortalitas species he would need to be relentless and be open to new ideas. Quickly and decisively, he shut down all religious establishments and imposed strict laws against the use of religion in public. He knew that science and a large military was the way forward. Pouring trillions of Moras (Currency) into the fields of national defence, education and science, he hoped to create the most powerful nation on the planet, with all others bowing to his feet.
The citizens of the United Morta Empire were ruled upon fairly, so long as they keep to the rules of the Emperor, if they failed to comply to the laws, the result would be strict and fatal.
Emperor Zilonan then turned his attention to foreign relations. All around his great empire, smaller nations bickered and fought from everything, weapons, food and even water, which was in short supply on the cold planet.
Disgusted, and yet happy, Zilonan launched a full scale invasion of the neighbouring countries, quickly conquering them. Those who caused problems were destroyed with nuclear weapons. During this period, space was first being explored, however not for peaceful reasons, the UME set up orbital bombardment stations in orbit, which could quickly crush defiant nations.
When the entire planet was under control, Zilonan unexpectedly died, he was followed up by his daughter, Empress Moioum who had to bear the brunt of her father excessive use of nuclear weapons, and the ice caps of the Mortalitas Homeworld melted dramatically, completely submerging the planet (Which was mostly low laying continents).
The Empress led her people to the seas, and over time their very physiology changed. They became more streamlined and became equally at home in water as on land. In their submarine lairs, the Mortalitas advanced at huge rates, experimenting with new technologies and sciences. In this era of rebirth, Moioum led her people into space, colonizing moons, planets and eventually the entire star system.
Over time, FTL (Faster than Light) drives were built, and the Mortalitas ruthlessly expanded their empire to over 50 well defended colonies within two years. Upon encountering a new empire, they would destroy it, and assimilate the planet and its resources.
Over a period of thousands of years, the newly formed Mortalitas Empire grew to control the entire galactic arm, and eventually, the entire Mortiol Galaxy itself. The Empire of the Mortalitas was indeed an immensely powerful empire. A few years after the Mortalitas reached control of the galaxy, a splinter rebel group used the newly invented Intergalactic Engines to flee from the empire. They were last seen heading in the direction of galaxy M101...Cyrannus.
- Mortalitas War
This was the first major conflict in the history of the CSA. It began when Mortalitas Capital Ships attacked the Capricyránae colony of Fiins. Former President Gua-Long quickly declared war. The conflict was long and bloody and after years of bloodshed the CSA invaded the Mortalitas homeworld in Cyrannus. The battle was won quickly as the Mortalitas retreated to the core. Sector wide celebrations followed. But this was only the beginning, as this was not the main Mortalitas Empire, but a small and weak off shoot.
- Trucinex War
The Nex Prophet realised that he would also need allies in order to turn the tide. His research led him the an empire known as the Mortalitas, whom after a defeat by the CSA, were colonising the galaxy near Trucinex space. A Trucinex Captain was sent to make contact with this new empire. The captain was located by an individual known as Zillum, a towering individual who had an air of authority, the two discussed for a long time, and eventually an alliance was formed.
The Trucinex coordinated with the Mortalitas in order to organize attacks upon the CSA. General Zillum was tasked with coordinating the attacks, and the first one, conducted over a known CSA trade route was deemed to be the first target. Jumping out of hyperspace, the Mortalitas warships completely surprised the two CSA destroyers and destroyed them within moments. Zillum smiled, the CSA would fear him.
Age of the Imperial Alliance Edit
- Second Galactic War
Only a few days after the Capricorn Sector Alliance joined the war, The Fleet of Retribution was formed. This massive fleet is one of the most elite fighting forces in Cyrannus and the Quadrants, and President Inviere and Empress Ramashe couldn't wait to use the fleet to take revenge on the Imperial Alliance.
However, unbeknownst to the allies, a great threat was stirring on the planet Tuacio, the infamous Mortalitas Empire! Recently, the Imperial Captain Lizrawn arrived at the planet, his orders to ally with the Mortalitas. However, an allied invasion fleet arrived first and started attacking the Mortalitas Fleet in orbit. Angered, Lizrawn ordered his Star Destroyer, Labyrinth to aid his new found allies.
However, the battle began to grow sour, the most famous admiral of the CSA, Willelmus Cretacea arrived at the battle and broke throw the blockade, damaging several Imperial ships on the way, the Imperial/Mortalitas Fleet began to break apart and Lizrawn ordered a retreat. The allies had won this battle, but at a dreadful cost...
Lizrawn met with one of the leaders of the Mortalitas, a huge figure clad in gold armour, he sent a vibe of authority down Lizrawn's neck. The Mortalitas, simply smiled and introduced himself as General Zillum, Supreme Commander of the Mortalitas Armada. The two talked and eventually, Zillum agreed that the Mortalitas should join the Imperials, it was a dark day for the allies, a day that has ripples in the Quadrants even to this day...
As the Galactic Emperor conquered the Rambo Nation Capitol much later in the war, and shorlty after his transmission to the allies of the fallen Rambo, he ordered some Mortalitas and Imperial vessels to attack the Rambo Resistance, the Resistance taken by surprise were watching in awe as there former allies destroyed the remainder of the Resistance Fleet.
Happy, the Mortalitas became respected and feared across the Imperial Alliance.
In the aftermath of the Second Galactic War, the Mortalitas grew impatient with the Galactic Emperor and secretly began constructing a secret confederacy that will one day oppose the mighty Empire.
General Zillum was involved in many secret missions during the Intergalactic War, when the Mortalitas appeared to have disappeared from sight, causing many in the URC to worry that they have been preparing to strike against the Cyrannus Republic while they have been busy against the Cognatus Alliance.
Near the end of the war, the Galactic Emperor allied with the Cognatus, and conspired with them against the URC, however, the Galactic Emperor knew all too well that the Cognatus would not honour the alliance. In anticipation for a betrayal, he sent Zillum to try to destabilize the Cognatus, who despite being very powerful, where ignorant and boastful of their power.
Before he could act however, he was sent to the Calithilaen System of the URC as part of the huge final battle, his personal mission; to find and capture President Apollo. When Zillum found Apollo, the two exchanged insults, and just as Zillum was about to make his move, Apollo shot a stun blast at him, temporarily stopping him. Angered, he took the Imperial Fleet and returned to the Empire's space.
Age of the Confederacy Edit
The Mortalitas became the founding members of the Confederacy of Allied Systems, a huge alliance of many likeminded empires. However, they also experienced a drawback, the fall of the Imperial Alliance, the death of the Galactic Emperor and the betrayal of his hand. Yet, this proved to be a blessing for the Mortalitas, who under the influence of the more peaceful races in the Confederacy, became much more peaceful, yet still ,very aggressive.
They grew the genuine urge to liberate the galaxy from the influence of the seemingly corrupt Republic. During the Great Cyrannus Wars, the Mortalitas became the fleet and shipmasters of the Confederacy.
They joined the Asgord Genocide at the end of 1 ATC, without support from the other members of the CAS. Nevertheless, they sent a large fleet to conquer as many Asgord planets as possible. The first of these was Ekotanes, a large colony in the Kraw Galaxy, Mortalitas Warriors beamed down in the center of a city, cutting up Asgord and crushing them under their feet. True to their Asgordian ways, the government of the planet sent a delegation to greet the new arrivals, but when the delegation attempted to hug the invaders, the Mortalitas quickly exterminated them, and the majority of the Asgord on the planet. The Confederate Senate was not informed of this.
They were later rescued by an unknown force when the Xhodocto scourged the universe, destroying their home galaxy of Mortiol. They now inhabited Cyrannus and continued to wage war on the URC and its allies.
Relationships Edit
"These empires will help us restore unity and prosperity to the cosmos."
"These empires shall be overthrown. They are corrupt and mire the universe with their presence!"
Quotes from other EmpiresEdit
"These monsters have been plaguing us for countless years, every time we defeat them, they come back more deadly then before!"
- - Apollo, President of the United Republic of Cyrannus
"Can I pet you?"
- - Diplomat Lezia of the FRA
"Anyone enemies with our allies are also our enemies!"
- - Captain Jerkon of the Dracogonarious
"Are trusted allies, admirable for their strength and courage in battle, I trust their allegiance will be most beneficial"

Romania-Insider.com is publishing a series of articles about wildlife in Romania, zooming in on the wild animal and plant species in the Fagaras Mountains area. This editorial series is sponsored by the Foundation Conservation Carpathia.
This January, a part of elm trees in Buzău's Crâng Forest, in eastern Romania, were cut down after the local Forestry Department (Direcţia Silvică) confirmed that they were infected with the Dutch Elm Diseases (DED). It is another instance of the DED damaging the local elm population and of its virulent outcome. The felling of the infected trees can slow the spread of the disease but no effective cure is available, leaving the elm completely vulnerable.
The disease impacts all of the three species of elm that are present in Europe, where the tree is native to most countries and covers a wide range. These are the European white elm (Ulmus laevis Pall.) with a more southern range, the wych elm (Ulmus glabra Huds.) with a more northern range, also present in Romania, and the field elm (Ulmus minor Mill.), which has a more eastern range.
The first mentions of the DED in Romania date from 1922, around the same time that it started devastating the elm across Europe. It was also the first strain of the disease, known as Ophiostoma ulmi. It caused losses of 10-40% of elms in various European countries. Dutch phytopathologist Bea Schwarz identified the fungus causing the DED, hence the name of the disease. The second, far more aggressive strain, Ophiostoma novo-ulmi, was identified beginning with the 1970s. Millions of elms in Europe, Western Asia, and North America have died because of this second strain, still active today. In UK alone it is estimated that it killed over 25 million elms by the 1990s.
The international trade of timber and other products is believed to have made the intercontinental spread of the disease possible. It has since remained a lesson in the pitfalls of the transport of plants. In this respect, the EU has introduced in 2016 an overhaul of its plant health legislation, in place since 1977. The new rules are meant to focus particularly on the prevention of entry or spread of plant pests within the EU, and work on the conclusion that more resources are needed at an early age to prevent future harm to the agricultural production or the environment.
The DED is transmitted by the bark beetles of genus Scolytus or throughout root connections. With an infected tree, parts of its foliage begin to yellow, and later turn brown and fall. Affected shoots die back from the tip, and the twigs sometimes turn down to form 'shepherds' crooks'. Since the disease is a progressive one, an infected tree can show a mixture of healthy foliage, yellow or brown foliage, and defoliated shoots. When twigs from the affected part of the tree are cross sectioned, they will show dark brown spots in the outer wood, often enough to form a ring. Young trees can be killed by the disease in as little as a few weeks.
It is a dramatic alteration of a tree that can grow an open and broad crown. While the field elm (Ulmus minor) grows to about 20 meters, the wych elm (Ulmus glabra) is a much taller tree and can reach up to 40 meters. The European elms are a part of cool mixed broad-leaved forests, and they prefer water- and nutrient-rich soils. They are distributed principally near rivers and streams or on floodplains.
Because of its ability to withstand moist soils, the wych elm helps in watershed protection and soil stabilization, while European elms may help to mitigate soil erosion by water even where intense precipitation occurs. In the Mediterranean regions, the latter has been used since ancient Greek times as a support for grapevines. According to some accounts, the elm, alongside the oak, was used in the wooden piles deployed in the construction of the foundation of the houses built in Venice. Because of its resistance to water, it was also used to make water pipes. In England, elm pipes were used until the 1700s. The elm wood has also been used to make boats and boat parts, but also furniture, floorboards or wheel hubs.
Many birds feed on the elm seeds and the leaves provide food for the caterpillars of many moths. In the UK, the caterpillars of the white letter hairstreak butterfly, which also feed on elms, have declined dramatically since the Dutch elm disease arrived in the country.
Locally, the wych elm can be found in mixed forests alongside the ash, the elder or the sycamore. Together they make a specific habitat that is now threatened as the elm disappears and is no longer replaced. Spruce mono-cultures are often planted instead, very sought after as timber in construction. And with it, the diversity of the local flora withers.

ATLANTA (Gray News) - America's measles outbreak continues to grow.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Monday reported 1,022 measles cases through June 6, up 41 from the last update.
"These outbreaks are linked to travelers who brought measles back from other countries such as Israel, Ukraine and the Philippines, where large measles outbreaks are occurring," the CDC stated.
This is the greatest number of cases reported in the country since 1992 when there were 2,200 reported. Measles was declared eliminated in the U.S. in 2000.
Cases are reported in 28 states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.
What we know about the outbreak:
-- Most people who got measles were unvaccinated.
-- Measles is still common in many parts of the world.
-- Travelers with measles continue to bring the disease into the U.S.
-- Measles can spread when it reaches a community in the U.S. where groups of people are unvaccinated.

Director: Sergio Garrone
Cast: Paola Corazzi, Rita Manna, Giorgio Cerioni
Exploitation Digital / Region 1 / Unrated / 1.85:1 widescreen / Dolby Digital Stereo / 96 minutes
Extras: Photo Gallery, Interview with Sergio Garrone, Original Trailer, Exploitation Digital Trailers
NOTE: This title is Out Of Print
In the world of the exploitation films, there are many sub-genres. The one in which I have been interested lately is nazisploitation. I have watched a few in the last couple weeks and they are a bit unnerving. I have recently watched Gestapo's Last Orgy, SS Hell Camp, and SS Camp: Women's Hell. I can already tell you that there isn't a huge difference between them in regards to content, and I have a feeling it will be the same across the next three films I have purchased. All three films have scenes of sexual and physical torture. There is plenty of nudity, usually coming at you in large groups: for instance, a shower scene. They also have a tendency to lean towards the plot of your basic revenge film.
So don't make the mistake my sister-in-law made and think these are pro-Nazi films. They are very much anti-Nazi, and that is the way it should be. This particular film had everything mentioned above, but included a female lead character that was black. Yes, her character's back story is a little absurd and your first reaction will be, I never ever saw a black Jewish woman in Schindler's List. That's okay, just get over it. You must understand that this was also written in the seventies, at the time of the blaxploitation film. This is strange, but I like how it worked in the film since I am a huge fan of Pam Grier and all of her work. I would assume that exploitation fans of this time period also liked the idea of the crossover between sub-genres.
Directed by Sergio Garrone, this film was definitely made to shake the viewer to their core. It opens with a large group of female prisoners being forced to work as sex slaves for the German soldiers. This being said, there are lots of uncomfortable sex/rape throughout the first third of the film. The middle of the film deals with many of the women being experimented upon. This deals with tons of stomach churning physical abuse that makes you realize that Eli Roth wasn't the creator of torture porn. The final third of the film is the revenge portion. Here is when our black lead character helps women escape by procuring machine guns and doing her best Pam Grier impression by taking out Nazi's right and left. No, I'm still not sure why she was there and I don't know where she learned how to be Rambo, but I had fun watching her do it. Garrone did a good job of building the story into these three acts and he got actors that weren't as bad as you would expect for this type of film. Another thing you wouldn't expect from this type of film is a decent soundtrack. I may be being too nice, but I liked the music. It had a touch of Godfather plus some of that seventies Italian horror sound that works well for me.
You also saw a bit of Spaghetti Western influence with the camera work in this film, he did direct two Django films after all. If I have to rate this film, I would give it a 7/10. Again, you have to be reminded that I am rating this against other films within the sub-genre. I have only seen two other nazisploitation films, but I've seen many women in prison and blaxploitation films. This film is definitely more watchable than the other two nazisploitation films I mentioned earlier. It is also better than Women's Prison Massacre, but not better than many of my favorite blaxsploitation films. So it falls right in the middle of all of the films I've seen within the three genres. It is also a film that only appeals to people looking in this area of film. The casual film viewer, like my wife, will find it to be utterly detestable. The exploitation/grindhouse type of viewer will see it and like it. I think they, like myself, will recommend it to other like-minded individuals. They will do this because it does a good job of paying homage to other types of films, while bringing something a little different into a seemingly predictable genre.

Unspoken: America's Native American Boarding Schools -
"Unspoken" looks at a dark chapter of American history, the federal Indian boarding school system. The goal was total assimilation into Anglo civilization at the cost of Native American culture, tradition, and language. The film story starts with pre-history and comes full circle to modern day. Much of the film is told in first person Native American voice by the people who continue to live it."

REPTILES. As of 1987, Texas ranked first among the fifty states in numbers of reptilian species, with thirty-five species of turtles, sixty-one of lizards, sixty-eight of snakes, and the American alligator. This abundance results from the diversity of habitats within the state and its location in a region where four distinctive biogeographic regions meet, loosely described as eastern, desert, High Plains, and subtropical. Five species (two turtles, two lizards, and the Harter's watersnake) fit none of these categories.
The turtle fauna, which is dominated by freshwater forms, is richest in eastern Texas. Six saltwater species, five sea turtles and the diamondback terrapin, also occur on the Texas coast. Of these perhaps the best known is the Kemp's Ridley turtle. The ornate box turtle (Terrapene ornata ornata) is the common land turtle over most of the state. This species, which perishes by untold hundreds each year on the state's highways, is a frequent backyard pet. The only true tortoise in the state is the Texas tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri), a species that ranges into southern Texas from Mexico and is on the list of threatened species and thus protected by state law.
The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) at one time was widely distributed over the eastern part of the state; sightings were recorded as far west as Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. Today, spotty breeding populations are confined to eastern Texas east of the Trinity River and to coastal areas; rare sightings occur along the Colorado River. Although the species at one time was severely threatened, protection under state and federal law has led to an increase of 50 percent in numbers (almost 70,000 in 1980), so that limited harvest has been permitted.
Lizards are well represented throughout the state, although the greatest diversity occurs in the west. Certainly the most popular of all Texas reptiles is the Texas horned lizard (horned "toad"), Phrynosoma cornutum, one of the three species of horned lizards in the state. The favored food of this little reptile consists of ants, especially harvester (red) ants, although it may eat other insects, especially beetles. Habitat destruction, collecting, and, probably, pesticide use, have led to a decline of the Texas horned lizard in many parts of the state, and the species is now classified as threatened and protected under state law. The most ubiquitous and widely distributed Texas lizard is the Southern prairie lizard, Sceloporus undulatus consobrinus, a little spiny lizard with arboreal tendencies in the east but with ground-living habits in the west. Other conspicuous lizards in the western part of the state include the Great Plains skink (Eumeces obsoletus), the collared lizard (Crotaphytus collaris), and various species of whiptails (Cnemidophorus), several of which are unisexual.
Fifteen of the sixty-eight species of snakes in Texas are poisonous. These include the coral snake (Micrurus fulvius tenere), western cottonmouth (Agkistrodon piscivorus leucostoma), three copperhead species (Agkistrodon), and ten rattlesnakes. The first three of these species, together with two rattlesnakes, are essentially East Texas forms, although the coral snake and cottonmouth both range westward onto the Edwards Plateau and the copperhead occurs as far west as the Davis Mountains. Certainly the most infamous of Texas snakes is the western diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox). This large, dangerous snake occurs over three-quarters of the state, is responsible for over half the cases of poisonous snakebite, and is the culprit in almost all instances of death due to snakebite in Texas. A rich folklore has grown up around this snake, much of which was recorded by J. Frank Dobie in his book Rattlesnakes (1966).
Resource collections of state reptiles include the Texas Natural History Collection (Texas Memorial Museum , Austin), the Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection (Texas A&M University), and the collection of the Strecker Museum (Baylor University). The Texas Herpetological Society, founded in 1939, includes amateur and professional students of amphibians and reptiles and is the oldest state society of its kind in the United States. As of 1988 the following turtles were classified by the Texas Department of Parks and Wildlife as endangered: loggerhead, Atlantic hawksbill, Kemp's Ridley, leatherneck, and Big Bend mud. No lizards were classified as endangered, but five snakes were: the speckled racer, Louisiana pine snake, Concho water snake, western smooth green snake, and northern cat-eyed snake.

Bonus Map With Ghosts Pre-Order
Similar to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Call of Duty: Ghosts will have a bonus map available to players who pre-order the game. The multiplayer bonus map, named Free Fall uses map events that will change the environment during the match. According to Infinity Ward, Free Fall "drops players into a shattered skyscraper on the brink of collapseâ€. The map event will most likely be the crumbling of the skyscraper, which will ultimately change the landscape of the level.
Activision described the map saying: "Sideways staircases climb into the night sky, elevator shafts run along the ground, and what were once windows now form a terrifying glass floor, hundreds of feet above the city streets. Free Fall's close-quarters combat and frenetic action are then thrown into overdrive as the ruined skyscraper continues to fall throughout the match. With every drop, the accompanying shockwaves cause further destruction, disrupting sightlines and constantly evolving paths and chokepoints as the map changes in real-time."
If you want Free Fall, you'll have to pre-order Call of Duty: Ghosts which releases on November 5th, 2013.

Jonathan and I had our dear friends Jade and Jennifer over last Monday night. (We made real Italian cannelloni, but that's another recipe for another blog post.) We got all the food ready, sat down at the table, poured all the sweet tea, and tasted the sweet tea. It really was sweet tea. "Ew!" I opined. "I didn't think I put THAT much sugar in it!"
"What do you mean, YOU put that much sugar in it?" said Jonathan. "I put the sugar in."
And we looked aghast at one other.
We'd read of such things, but such a thing has never occurred in our household. So we marveled over it. Then we all added orange juice to all our tea and went on with life and tasty cannelloni.

"…I am the most tested Medium this country has ever produced…" In this compelling autobiography, Leslie Flint talks of his astonishing ability of independent spirit voice Mediumship – an ability which brought him fame and acclaim, as well as heartache and hardship. Flint describes his early years and recalls his first psychic experience of seeing a dead soldier. As a young man Flint knew real poverty; his early jobs included tending a graveyard, bar work, cinema worker and later as a bomb-disposal officer. Flint originally thought that 'death was a pretty final event' – until the development of his superb and ultra-rare form of Mediumship… Voices in the Dark also contains some astounding evidence of survival after death – which simply cannot be explained away. Anyone who reads this book and studies Flint's work will ever doubt that the Afterlife exists and is a reality for all.

Almost 8 months ago, Ali messaged us. There was talk about our whole accountability/United conference group getting together to reconnect for the week in Charleston, SC.

Dental implants are an excellent alternative to bridges and dentures. They allow you to use your new teeth as you would the old, able to bite firmly without fear of your false teeth falling out. Aesthetic Dental Centers in Ridgefield Park, New Jersey, Hackensack, New Jersey, Dover, New Jersey, and Pearl River, New York, offer dental implant placement and upkeep. You can have a full, healthy, smile that will last for life. If you're interested in learning more about dental implants to replace your missing teeth, call or schedule an appointment online today.
Dental implants are artificial roots that anchor false teeth into place. These roots are implanted into your jawbone, much like how your natural teeth are attached. When you get false teeth, you want them to stay in place and be stable. Dental implants allow for stable false teeth with little to no chance of them falling out.
At Aesthetic Dental Centers, we work with endosteal implants. Endosteal implants consist of a post that is placed into your jawbone. Your artificial tooth is attached to the post and possibly anchored by the surrounding teeth via a crown.
Getting a dental implant involves several steps. It's a surgical procedure, so you'll need to reserve significant time for healing between the steps and after the process is complete. The steps, performed in-office at Aesthetic Dental Centers, are:
Between each step, you'll need to allow three to six months for healing. Each person heals differently, so your dentist will determine how long you'll need between procedures. For the best results, follow your provider's care instructions closely between appointments.
Not everyone is a good candidate for dental implants. Since they require surgery, some people are not fit to handle such a complicated and invasive process. However, you may be a good candidate for implants if:
During an initial consultation, your dentist at Aesthetic Dental Centers determines whether dental implants are a good option for you. If they're not, your dentist will help you explore other, less invasive options for tooth replacement.
If you want your false teeth to stay in place, dental implants are the most reliable option. To find out if dental implants are right for you, call or schedule an appointment online at Aesthetic Dental Centers today. We proudly serve in Hackensack County, Morris County, Bergen County, and Rockland County.

U-Pink Kush (Dr. Underground) feminized
Harborer of high quality weed that packs a potent punch, U-Pink Kush from Dr. Underground is an overground success. A real beauty to behold, this feminized favourite continues to wow smokers and growers alike with her high yields and even higher stones. A highly capable specimen, U-Pink Kush doesn't need excessive care and is ready for harvest after a flowering time of 8-9 weeks.
Dr. Underground - U-Pink Kush: Flowering time of 8-9 weeks
A strain of worldwide notoriety and respect, Underground Pink Kush (or U-Pink Kush for short) has risen through the ranks to become a shining jewel in the crown of the Dr. Underground expanding seed empire.
Not the type of strain to be fussed over, U-Pink Kush grows with a level of independence that not many other strains can mirror. She is an incredibly vigorous plant (not to mention powerful) and does not require too much food to flourish. Aesthetically speaking, U-Pink Kush is very beautiful specimen too, her leaves radiate gorgeous shades of purple and red; while her kush/diesel odor lingers lovingly through the air.
The sheer amount of resin that exudes from her dense buds is almost hypnotic - but thats to be expected from a top shelf kush. In effect, U-Pink Kush effortlessly dishes out a mind-blowing stone, one that (if consumed excessively) can literally turn your world upside down. You have been warned.
This beauty (but absolute beast at the same time) is blessed not only with power but speed as well, finishing her flowering period between 8-9 weeks. She's capable to produce anywhere from 500-700 grams per square meter of high quality weed. Outdoor cultivation however, sees U-Pink Kush produce anywhere up to 1kg of weed. WOW!

Service agreement
A Grundfos service agreement ensures the efficient and uninterrupted operation of your pump system and gives you access to Grundfos service centres and authorised service partners worldwide, 24 hours a day.
Prevention is better, and more cost-effective, than cure
Once you have purchased your pump, you will want it to function efficiently and reliably; a formal service agreement with Grundfos will give you peace of mind. It also makes sound economic sense, giving you a firm costing for your maintenance budget and access to substantial discounts.
You simply combine a range of service programmes to suit your needs – and then let us carry out scheduled maintenance visits to prevent downtime. We offer three types of service agreement, available for all pumps:
- Basic
- Extended
- Total.
Whichever agreement you choose, your equipment will always be serviced by specially trained staff.
The cost-effective choice
Well-maintained pumps can reduce your energy consumption by up to 50 %. Furthermore, it's worth remembering that in a series of pumps working together, one faulty pump can affect all the others. A Grundfos service agreement keeps the total cost of operating a pump to a minimum. Our careful calculation of the life-cycle cost of all our products means that we have an overview of the true costs of owning each of our pumps.
Signing up for a service agreement and letting our highly-skilled service technicians service your pumps is a safeguard against unforeseen expenditure. Regular servicing and maintenance of your pumps will ensure that they operate with optimum efficiency.
The purpose of CAPS is to provide a complete tool that contains both an extensive catalogue of Grundfos products and a sizing program to select the most suitable pump for your application.
There is also a comprehensive pump replacement selection function for central heating circulator pumps, hot water pumps and wastewater S pumps, and a function for producing professional quotations that include curves, drawings, quotation texts, wiring diagrams, etc.
Last but not least, the software contains the instruction and operating manuals for nearly all Grundfos pumps in multiple languages. Service drawings, exploded views and parts lists are available for all sewage products as well as several other pump types.
CAPS is available in two versions: WinCAPS, available on CD-ROM, and the online version WebCAPS, available at the Grundfos website. Additional features available in WebCAPS include CAD Drawings and Literature.

Today, an increasing number of consumers are starting to use prepaid credit cards. In the past, debit cards were used by people who couldn't get approved for a regular credit card, but wanted the convenience of paying with a card with the Visa or Mastercard logo on it.
When it comes to payment, prepaid cards offer the same convenience as regular credit cards do. Prepaid debit cards are widely accepted by many merchants and establishments particular those that bear the Visa and MasterCard logos. Prepaid cards can be used to purchase online and from brick-and-mortar shops.
The biggest difference between a "real" credit card and a prepaid card is that the latter does not provide a credit line. In order to use a prepaid card for payment, the cardholder must first reload cash or deposit funds into a checking account that is linked to the card. Bills charged to a prepaid card are automatically paid off using the existing cash fund. When the balance runs out, the prepaid cardholder must make a new deposit or reload the card before it can be used for new transactions.
Indeed, prepaid debit cards are considered to be a great alternative to credit cards. Since there is no need to repay charges, a prepaid cardholder does not need to worry about interest rates and late penalty fees. However, owning a prepaid debit card is not exactly without any costs. In fact, some people might be hesitant to use a prepaid debit card because some prepaid cards are known to carry very expensive fees.
Avoid Expensive Prepaid Credit Card Fees
How can you avoid fees associated with prepaid credit cards? First of all, you must begin by searching for the right prepaid card. Before acquiring one, read and understand the fine print. You can easily compare different prepaid cards online by checking out a reliable credit card comparison website. Some prepaid cards require a set-up fee or account activation fee so you need to make sure that this fee is minimal and one-time only.
Don't forget to check the monthly maintenance fee. How much will you need to pay each month to keep your prepaid account active? Some issuers also impose a penalty fee or inactivity fee if you don't use your card for a month. Reloading fees can also be a burden since you will be charged with an extra few dollars each time you load cash to your account.
Avoid overdraft charges. Although prepaid debit cardholders can only use their cards for payment if they have an available balance, a transaction may still successfully go through even though there is an insufficient fund in the account. This usually happens when the difference between the balance and the purchase price is relatively small. However, the prepaid cardholder will be charged with an overdraft penalty. The penalty fee will deducted the next time the cardholder reloads the card. To avoid this extra fee, check your balance first before using your prepaid card for payment.

Marvin Brooks has been dumped from the 'Love Island' villa.
The semi-professional footballer was booted out of the show in a dramatic recoupling during Thursday night's (11.07.19) show.
Speaking about his time in the villa following his exit, he said: "It was definitely a lot longer than I expected! In terms of finding someone romantically, I found it difficult but in terms of friendship, I had a brilliant time! It was unbelievable."
In the recoupling, new girl Francesca Allen caused a stir when she chose Curtis Pritchard to couple up with – despite Maura Higgins expressing an interest in the dancer – whilst Anna Vakili chose Jordan Hames, who she has grown back close to after returning from Casa Amor. Single Amber Gill chose her good friend Ovie Soko in the hope he will have a chance to find love with someone else in the villa whilst Maura gave new boy Chris Taylor a chance, although she seemingly hinted there was nothing romantic going to happen between them.
Strong couples Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, Michael Griffiths and Joanna Chimonides and Belle Hassan and Anton Danyluk all chose to recouple up with their respective partners.
Marvin is rooting for Molly-Mae and Tommy – who are currently the only official couple in the villa – to win the show.
He said: "I think Tommy and Molly-Mae are the obvious choice. They are acting like a couple who've been together for years. They're so comfortable with each other. It's really nice to see. I'm starting to see Michael and Joanna getting really close and they're starting to show those signs. Those couples are the strongest for me."
And when it comes to the new love triangle between Maura, Curtis and Francesca, Marvin thinks the Essex beauty will come out on top.
He shared: "I feel Francesca is more Curtis' type and I think their romance will blossom. But it won't happen easily because Maura will definitely have her say in the matter."

Worldwide, change is taking place beyond nature's cycles in our educational, political and social environments. While we might hear voices of resistance, negativity, blame, disappointments, frustration and even uproar, this is a time to take ownership of the imminent transition by individually aspiring to change and even transform what weshould and can in our own lives: our relationships at home, our workplace, our boardrooms and our communities. Criticizing, gossiping and fueling negativity is not of our true essence; we are capable of much more. Individually and collectively we can inspire each other to lead by example our lives and our organizations. We can act and make a positive impact. We are the source of trust as it begins nowhere else but with ourselves, first.
I am a catalyst for change, transformation and for raising consciousness in how we lead our lives at home, in our boardrooms and in our organizations. I am sharing with you two articles that I have authored that have recently been published by Ethical Boardroom in the United Kingdom. I am grateful for the editor and his team's efforts and for the privilege of featuring my commentary column "Rebuilding Trust in Big Business – the unavoidable shift from shareholders to stakeholders" on the cover of their flagship magazine's summer 2016 issue.
Through a major part of my career, I led and advised high tech companies to launch overseas and helped them understand the underlying benefits of the EU, globalization and the operational balance of centralization and de-centralization. I am now a witness of Brexit, a first parting of the EU and of the call for leading beyond power and profit by the UK's new Prime Minister, Theresa May. There is a wave of inspiring leaders around the globe, such as Richard Branson, Marc Benioff and Howard Schultz, advocating for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). I find myself urging leaders to lead with future generations in mind and conscious of the impactful consequences of our decisions and choices for allstakeholders. To quote Schultz, "balance profit with conscience." I hear the yearning for aspiration across generations, and in and out of our boardrooms.
In my article "Achieving Higher Board Effectiveness," also featured in this summer's Ethical Boardroom, I invite boards to maximize their human potential and the effectiveness of boards with onboarding and integration of new directors, as well as with commitment to aligning on strategy and candidly assessing every director's contribution. I encourage board directors and leaders to fuel the potential of our human dynamics, not dismiss them or judge them as "touchy feely." Our humanity needs our humanness.
There are many controllable elements that we ourselves can manage to enhance our immediate relationships and environments. I invite you to reflect about how as a leader in the academic environments you take charge of the change you can positively bring about in the year ahead. As a business leader confronted with the closing of the third quarter and the year's end, creating a new operational plan for the next fiscal year, how do you intend to maximize shareholder value while maximizing the engagement of your employees and genuinely caring to serve your customers and partners? As a leader of your life, how do you honor yourself to be the positive change in your life before you might judge others? Are you individually and collectively focused on the changes you can make?
Join me in not letting change be a leakage of energy. Avoid projecting defeat and spending one instant adding to any negativity that might be permeating. Courageously embrace any transition with the attitude that you can be part of the solution in your own life. Start the positive change, now. Envision what you can create!
