‘First impressions count’, and in no situation is this mantra more evident than when trying to get a great deal on your house. You know that creating the right impression isn’t easy; you have to price it right, lighten it up and seriously deep clean it among other things. But if you get the cleaning bit right then getting the other things right should be a walk in the park.
Check out these five house cleaning tips to help your home make a good first impression.
1. De-clutter
If you are like most homeowners, your house will most probably have items that you no longer need taking up valuable space. Cleaning a house with distracting clutter is arduous. So before you get down to tidying up, go through the whole house from closets and drawers to cabinets and floorings taking out whatever you don’t need. Donate the old stuff and dispose of all damaged appliances and furniture. De-cluttering will leave the house spacious something that every buyer loves. And it will also make it easier to clean and keep it clean while on the market.
2. Create a Checklist
Organization is of great importance when deep cleaning house. Because unlike when doing regular cleaning, you will need to go a notch higher to make sure you impress potential buyers. Creating a checklist is the best way to ensure that nothing is left out.
Make a simple and exhaustive list of all the areas in your house starting from the entryway, kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, laundry room, garage, etc. along with all the surfaces and items that need cleaning in all of those areas such walls, tiles, and countertops. Once you have made a list, you can now begin cleaning as you check off each item which will make for a seamless cleaning process.
3. Use steam cleaners
To deep clean your house till it’s in tip-top shape, you will need the right piece of technology. Traditional mobs will mostly disappoint on this task forcing you to expend a lot of energy not to mention that mobbed floors and surfaces take forever to dry. That’s where the steam cleaner (nettoyeurs vapeur pour la maison) comes in. It instantly eliminates all the disadvantages that go with traditional mobs and sprays. You will save on cleaning detergents and sprays; the floors will dry faster, and you will make your house shine exceptionally in readiness for the market. And if you have stubborn mould underneath your carpets, a steam cleaner is exactly what you need to eliminate them and sanitise all surfaces.
4. Use rugs and mats
To ready your house for those random, unexpected visits by buyers, rugs and mats are a handy option. Instead of leaving your entrances and flooring exposed to dirt and germs, consider having entry rugs and floor mats in critical areas of your house like living rooms and the kitchen. Rugs and mats keep entrances and floors clean by removing dirt and grime from shoes hence sparing you the need for random cleaning sessions. They also come in various colours and designs that will enhance the beauty of your house and lure buyers.
5. Paint Interior Walls
You might not have considered it, but painting interior walls could be what your house desperately needs for that fresh, captivating look. Using quality paints will not only curtail odours and fume but also reduce dust. On top of that, the painting will help you to de-personalize the house — because no buyer wants to live in a house that conforms to the interest of someone else. Painting your house in neutral shades will make it appealing to more buyers and give the eventual buyer an easier time personalising it to their unique tastes.

From time to time you will find that your carpet falls victim to some accidents for example, spilling, gum sticking, and drops.
Below are tips on how to effectively clean your carpet and fuel your addiction!
1. Avoid rubbing the stain concentrated spots and instead dab the spot with a clean cloth socked in a cleaning solution.
The aim of this process is to soak up the stained spot and absorb the discoloration. Rubbing would spread the color further on the carpet.
2. Use ice cubes to get rid of chewing gum on your carpet. Place the ice cubes on the gum for about 30 minutes to freeze it. Then use a spoon to scrap it off.
3. Use shaving cream or club soda to get rid of wine and beer stains on your carpet. This is a life hack that many people do not know about or aren’t sure.
4. Melted wax from a candle can drip on your carpet making it unsightly. Place a cloth over the spot woth the wax and run a hot iron across it. When the wax melts, use a butter knife to scrap it off immediately.

L’Informe
A dictionary begins when it no longer gives the meaning of words, but their tasks. Thus formless is not only an adjective having a given meaning, but a term that serves to bring things down in the world, generally requiring that each thing have its form. What it designates has no rights in any sense and gets itself squashed everywhere, like a spider or an earthworm. In fact, for academic men to be happy, the universe would have to take shape. All of philosophy has no other goal: it is a matter of giving a frock coat to what is, a mathematical frock coat. On the other hand, affirming that the universe resembles nothing and is only formless amounts to saying that the universe is something like a spider or spit.

In the majority of cases tree cutting should be left to a professional like Arlington tree service.
However if the tree you intend to cut is relatively small, in an open safe it may be possible to carry out this work yourself following the safety tips below:
The tools
• Kevlar leg coverings, steel toe boots, a hard hat, goggles and heavy duty gloves
• A sharp chainsaw with a full tank of gas
• Rope
• Ladder
• Wedges
• Ax
Tap the tree with your ax if it sounds hollow the tree may be dying or dead. If it sounds solid then it is live and so more difficult to take down. Tap different points on the tree to find a spot which is easier to cut.
Find a spot on the tree which is level just so that it does not bounce, roll or move unpredictably causing injuries.
Start by making a horizontal cut which should be above your hip but extend around one-third the thickness of the tree.
Add a wedge cut. This will be either on the top or the bottom of the first horizontal cut you made.
This cut will determine how the tree falls. The cut should be thick and around 1.5 inches on top of the horizontal cut. Introduce a wedge to prevent the tree from angling on the chainsaw.
Now that the cut is completed you will have an even holding wood or you will see the tree begin to fall.
When the tree is about to fall make sure to get out via your escape route.

The barriers between public and private space; the city is about points-of-view, about broken or enabled lines-of-sight, about privacy: the protection of territory (the surveillance camera), the invasion of territory; the opposition of private and public: It organizes Voyeurism. Behind a fence, it is not important what is behind it: It is important that you are barred from seeing it and you are tempted to see it.

The “Equivalents” remain photography’s most radical demonstration of faith in the existence of a reality behind and beyond that offered by the world of appearances. They are intended to function evocatively, like music, and they express a desire to leave behind the physical world, a desire symbolized by the visual absence of horizon and scale clues within the frame. Emotion resides solely in form, they assert, not in the specifics of time and place.

Frequently Asked Questions about Braces
1. Why do people need braces?
There are many reasons one person may need braces: crowded teeth, missing teeth, extra teeth, jaws not growing right, bad overbite, open bite and the list continues. Not everyone needs braces if they go early enough to the orthodontists and have their teeth checked out.
2. What is the best age for braces?
There is NO best age for braces as all ages can be treated. However, the best time to be seen by an orthodontist is around 7 years old. At 7, any jaw growth problems can easily be corrected.
3. What is Phase I Treatment?
It means that if a problem exists (such as a bad overbite or a lot of crowding of teeth) treatment can or will be started as early as 7 or 8 to correct the problem. Most of the time, Phase I Treatment can save the patient from extraction of good permanent teeth, headgear or major jaw surgery.
4. What is Phase II Treatment?
Phase II Treatment is treatment with “braces”. Patients who have had Phase I Treatment to take care of a major problem (severe overbite or crowding) may need some type of Phase II Treatment with braces to detail their bite. However, not everyone needs Phase II Treatment. For someone who does not have Phase I Treatment but needs braces, they go directly to Phase II Treatment (that is, treatment with full braces).
5. How do braces work?
Braces work by putting light forces on teeth through special wires. Orthodontists also use special rubber bands to bring teeth into the right position. Treatment takes some time because teeth move slowly (only 1mm a month or less) into the right position.
6. Does it hurt to put braces on?
No, the braces are put on with special cement. However, in the beginning, teeth may become a little sore once they start moving.
7. How long does it take to put braces on?
The appointment to put the braces on is 1½ hours but to actually cement the braces in place will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
8. How long does treatment take?
Depending on the severity of a case, it could take as little as 6 weeks or up to 20-24 months for complete treatment. Once treatment is started, a patient would be seen every 8-12 weeks depending on their needs.
9. Do you talk funny with braces?
Just like anything new, it takes about a week to get used to the feeling. Most people adjust very well and have no problems.
10. Can you play sports with braces?
Yes, but with much care. You may need a mouth-guard to prevent injury and damage to the braces, your teeth and gums. We will gladly provide one for you.
11.Can I eat anything with braces?
No. There are some restrictions. We ask that you avoid sticky or hard foods (such as caramel, sticky gum, candy, popcorn, etc.). A little extra care with what you eat can go a long way and can prevent braces from breaking or becoming loose.
12.Can you get a “shock” if braces are touched with something metal (fork, spoon, etc.)?
Usually not.
13.Can the braces set off alarms in stores or airports?
No, the metal is stainless steel and does not set off alarms.
14. What are rubber bands and why do people need them?
Rubber bands bring the teeth together to make them fit perfectly. Most people need them at the end of treatment for a couple of months.
15. What are retainers and who needs them?
After treatment is finished, retainers are given to hold the teeth in position until they become used to their new “home”. All patients need retainers and Dr. Petrol will instruct you to wear them according to your personalized needs.

Wie bei einem naschhaften Kind sind meine Augen größer als mein Magen.
The ecological value of the term Nature is dangerously overrated, because Nature isn’t just a term – it’s something that happened to human-built space, demarcating human systems from Earth systems. Nature as such is a twelve-thousand-years old human product, geological as well as discursive. Its wavy elegance was eventually revealed as inherently contingent and violent, as when in a seizure one’s brain waves become smooth. Wash-rinse-repeat the agrilogistics and suddenly we reach a tipping point.
The Anthropocene doesn’t destroy Nature. The Anthropocene is Nature in its toxic nightmare form. Nature is the latent form of the Anthropocene waiting to emerge as a catastrophe.

The Lotos-eaters
BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON
“Courage!” he said, and pointed toward the land,
“This mounting wave will roll us shoreward soon.”
In the afternoon they came unto a land
In which it seemed always afternoon.
All round the coast the languid air did swoon,
Breathing like one that hath a weary dream.
Full-faced above the valley stood the moon;
And like a downward smoke, the slender stream
Along the cliff to fall and pause and fall did seem.
A land of streams! some, like a downward smoke,
Slow-dropping veils of thinnest lawn, did go;
And some thro’ wavering lights and shadows broke,
Rolling a slumbrous sheet of foam below.
They saw the gleaming river seaward flow
From the inner land: far off, three mountain-tops,
Three silent pinnacles of aged snow,
Stood sunset-flush’d: and, dew’d with showery drops,
Up-clomb the shadowy pine above the woven copse.
The charmed sunset linger’d low adown
In the red West: thro’ mountain clefts the dale
Was seen far inland, and the yellow down
Border’d with palm, and many a winding vale
And meadow, set with slender galingale;
A land where all things always seem’d the same!
And round about the keel with faces pale,
Dark faces pale against that rosy flame,
The mild-eyed melancholy Lotos-eaters came.
Branches they bore of that enchanted stem,
Laden with flower and fruit, whereof they gave
To each, but whoso did receive of them,
And taste, to him the gushing of the wave
Far far away did seem to mourn and rave
On alien shores; and if his fellow spake,
His voice was thin, as voices from the grave;
And deep-asleep he seem’d, yet all awake,
And music in his ears his beating heart did make.
They sat them down upon the yellow sand,
Between the sun and moon upon the shore;
And sweet it was to dream of Fatherland,
Of child, and wife, and slave; but evermore
Most weary seem’d the sea, weary the oar,
Weary the wandering fields of barren foam.
Then some one said, “We will return no more”;
And all at once they sang, “Our island home
Is far beyond the wave; we will no longer roam.”
CHORIC SONG
I
There is sweet music here that softer falls
Than petals from blown roses on the grass,
Or night-dews on still waters between walls
Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass;
Music that gentlier on the spirit lies,
Than tir’d eyelids upon tir’d eyes;
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.
Here are cool mosses deep,
And thro’ the moss the ivies creep,
And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep,
And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep.”
II
Why are we weigh’d upon with heaviness,
And utterly consumed with sharp distress,
While all things else have rest from weariness?
All things have rest: why should we toil alone,
We only toil, who are the first of things,
And make perpetual moan,
Still from one sorrow to another thrown:
Nor ever fold our wings,
And cease from wanderings,
Nor steep our brows in slumber’s holy balm;
Nor harken what the inner spirit sings,
“There is no joy but calm!”
Why should we only toil, the roof and crown of things?
III
Lo! in the middle of the wood,
The folded leaf is woo’d from out the bud
With winds upon the branch, and there
Grows green and broad, and takes no care,
Sun-steep’d at noon, and in the moon
Nightly dew-fed; and turning yellow
Falls, and floats adown the air.
Lo! sweeten’d with the summer light,
The full-juiced apple, waxing over-mellow,
Drops in a silent autumn night.
All its allotted length of days
The flower ripens in its place,
Ripens and fades, and falls, and hath no toil,
Fast-rooted in the fruitful soil.
IV
Hateful is the dark-blue sky,
Vaulted o’er the dark-blue sea.
Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labour be?
Let us alone. Time driveth onward fast,
And in a little while our lips are dumb.
Let us alone. What is it that will last?
All things are taken from us, and become
Portions and parcels of the dreadful past.
Let us alone. What pleasure can we have
To war with evil? Is there any peace
In ever climbing up the climbing wave?
All things have rest, and ripen toward the grave
In silence; ripen, fall and cease:
Give us long rest or death, dark death, or dreamful ease.
V
How sweet it were, hearing the downward stream,
With half-shut eyes ever to seem
Falling asleep in a half-dream!
To dream and dream, like yonder amber light,
Which will not leave the myrrh-bush on the height;
To hear each other’s whisper’d speech;
Eating the Lotos day by day,
To watch the crisping ripples on the beach,
And tender curving lines of creamy spray;
To lend our hearts and spirits wholly
To the influence of mild-minded melancholy;
To muse and brood and live again in memory,
With those old faces of our infancy
Heap’d over with a mound of grass,
Two handfuls of white dust, shut in an urn of brass!
VI
Dear is the memory of our wedded lives,
And dear the last embraces of our wives
And their warm tears: but all hath suffer’d change:
For surely now our household hearths are cold,
Our sons inherit us: our looks are strange:
And we should come like ghosts to trouble joy.
Or else the island princes over-bold
Have eat our substance, and the minstrel sings
Before them of the ten years’ war in Troy,
And our great deeds, as half-forgotten things.
Is there confusion in the little isle?
Let what is broken so remain.
The Gods are hard to reconcile:
‘Tis hard to settle order once again.
There is confusion worse than death,
Trouble on trouble, pain on pain,
Long labour unto aged breath,
Sore task to hearts worn out by many wars
And eyes grown dim with gazing on the pilot-stars.
VII
But, propt on beds of amaranth and moly,
How sweet (while warm airs lull us, blowing lowly)
With half-dropt eyelid still,
Beneath a heaven dark and holy,
To watch the long bright river drawing slowly
His waters from the purple hill—
To hear the dewy echoes calling
From cave to cave thro’ the thick-twined vine—
To watch the emerald-colour’d water falling
Thro’ many a wov’n acanthus-wreath divine!
Only to hear and see the far-off sparkling brine,
Only to hear were sweet, stretch’d out beneath the pine.
VIII
The Lotos blooms below the barren peak:
The Lotos blows by every winding creek:
All day the wind breathes low with mellower tone:
Thro’ every hollow cave and alley lone
Round and round the spicy downs the yellow Lotos-dust is blown.
We have had enough of action, and of motion we,
Roll’d to starboard, roll’d to larboard, when the surge was seething free,
Where the wallowing monster spouted his foam-fountains in the sea.
Let us swear an oath, and keep it with an equal mind,
In the hollow Lotos-land to live and lie reclined
On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.
For they lie beside their nectar, and the bolts are hurl’d
Far below them in the valleys, and the clouds are lightly curl’d
Round their golden houses, girdled with the gleaming world:
Where they smile in secret, looking over wasted lands,
Blight and famine, plague and earthquake, roaring deeps and fiery sands,
Clanging fights, and flaming towns, and sinking ships, and praying hands.
But they smile, they find a music centred in a doleful song
Steaming up, a lamentation and an ancient tale of wrong,
Like a tale of little meaning tho’ the words are strong;
Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
Till they perish and they suffer—some, ’tis whisper’d—down in hell
Suffer endless anguish, others in Elysian valleys dwell,
Resting weary limbs at last on beds of asphodel.
Surely, surely, slumber is more sweet than toil, the shore
Than labour in the deep mid-ocean, wind and wave and oar;
O, rest ye, brother mariners, we will not wander more.

Dear reddit RDH’s,
I’m writing to you all as a wife, mom, and also as a fellow state board licensed professional as a registered nurse.
Last Spring my husband of 15 years had an affair with a dental hygienist at the dental practice we have been going to for 10 years in our small community, “we” is me, husband, daughter (now college grad), and teen son. We actually chose the practice as we me dentist at middle school activity- our daughters were both involved – not close friends, but continued familiar relationship throug HS graduation.
He went in for routine appointment, she routinely talks about bad marriage relationship (of 16 years) ‘he’s controlling, suspicious”, etc… My husband is police officer “ call me if I can help”- not in an innocent manner- clear boundary break. She leaves next day to “work on relationship with husband” on advice from pastor- to Mexico. Next day begin to text my husband flirty messages, then suggestive messages bikini pics, then half nude, then nudes. She’s gets home 1 week later and he is ready for divorce.
My marriage is not the concern of my post. I have had minimal contact with this woman in 9 months since I became aware of affair. I doubt my marriage is going to survive this affair, and I will continue to grieve this as time moves on. As a nurse, I would be horrified and quick to judge and point out to any of my coworker/friends how inappropriate and unprofessional this behavior was/is, and I am tempted to inform the dentist that she works with. I have struggled with my decision as I never wanted it to be made out of anger towards her because the responsibility is and always has been on my husband. However, she has also had contact with our 2 children for more than 10 years, and me- and her lack of judgement concerns me. I would never attend this practice again as long as she is still employed there, and would certainly never have my kids go there. I’m tempted to tell dentist this, and also that I will not hesitate to tell everyone we know in our small town the above story and recommend they take their dental concerns elsewhere. What do you all think?

The final verse
Despite being the first title in the Yakuza franchise to be developed from the ground up on PlayStation 4 architecture, boasting the new and improved Dragon engine, Yakuza 6 isn’t the new start for the series that you would imagine it to be – it is actually a dramatic ending to the series as we know it. And despite all of the added gloss that comes with the jump to being fully next-gen, the game manages to maintain all of its character and madness – perhaps even packing in even more than usual.
Game: Yakuza 6: The Song of Life
Developer: Sega
Publisher: Sega
Reviewed on: PlayStation 4 (Review code provided)
The Song of Life is the swansong for longtime protagonist Kazuma Kiryu – the Dragon of Dojima. Without giving too much of the story away, Kazuma has returned from paying his dues in prison only to find that his “adopted” daughter Haruka has gone missing and been involved in a tragic accident. He sets out to investigate and finds a lot more trouble than he anticipated – including being unwillingly dragged back into the Yakuza world that he was happy to have left, and discovering a baby that needs his protection. Having been embroiled in epic clan wars and power struggles over the years, this sixth title takes a surprising – and thoroughly refreshing – turn towards a much more personal story.
However if you are new to the series, Sega have done a commendable job recently to make everything far more accessible. Firstly, last year’s Yakuza Zero was a prequel which served as the perfect first stop for anyone who had yet to jump into the world of Yakuza. Then Yakuza Kiwami and the upcoming Kiwami 2 have re-made the first two games in the series, via the new engine. And even here, in the final part of Kiryu’s story, you could easily start from scratch, thanks to the reminisce options in the main menu – allowing you catch up with the most important past events via short digest essays.
With each entry into the series, the Yakuza games have seemingly got more complex and more over-the-top. Indeed, Song of Life is the first game since 2009 to feature only the one playable character, and as such it possesses a far more focused main story than the last three or four instalments. Each title has always felt jam-packed with things to do – be it the main story, side missions or the myriad of distractions scattered throughout – but sometimes that has been a real hinderance that has made each game feel bloated and unnecessarily drawn-out. By streamlining certain aspects, Yakuza 6 feels quicker, sleeker and much more compelling to play.
This is all helped greatly by the fact that the new game engine cuts out around ninety percent of the loading screens from earlier titles. No longer will there be loading screens for entering every single restaurant or shop – we instead get seamless transitions into combat or buildings, even allowing your fights to spill over into nearby convenience stores, if you decide to take it there. It makes each of the two main playable areas feel far more open, allowing quicker and easier exploration.
These two areas are the series regular Kamurocho (Sega’s take on the real-life Kabukicho red light district of Tokyo), and the new small town of Onomichi in Hiroshima. The two different areas provide a stark contrast between small-town and big city life, without ever becoming so large an open world so that one feels overwhelmed by the options of what to do or where to go. These locations each have a strong personality, and both are fascinating to explore. Kamurocho will feel familiar enough to series veterans, but also ever-evolving – with new sights, shops and experiences to uncover as you wander around. And in its own way Onomichi plays a perfect foil to that bustle and excess. A sleepy harbour town, harbouring a dangerous secret.
Without the aforementioned excessive loading times, combat feels more dynamic and immediate – you can be approached by enemies and thrown into battle at the drop of the hat, or choose to pick fights for yourself as you please. The fighting system has been streamlined much like other elements of the game. With only Kazuma to fight as, there is only one fighting style to learn and master – although your skills and attacks are all upgradeable with a fairly comprehensive XP levelling system. New finishing moves and context-specific attacks can be purchased, along with other social skills that will help with the variety of mini-games to take part in around each of the two locations.
A new ultra heat mode is built up through successful attacks and allows you to take advantage of high-powered moves and temporary invulnerability – both of which are highly useful for some of the boss battles or larger multi-opponent brawls that you will come up against as you progress. This can however make some of the supposedly harder fights feel a bit too easy, especially if you are quite invested in completing the many side quests which will help you to accrue XP, and therefore upgrades, much more quickly. There are three different difficulty settings in-game however, and these do really make a difference between just playing through to enjoy the story, or being seriously challenged by some gruelling fights.
I shouldn’t speak about the combat for too long however, as many of the most memorable moments through the history of the franchise have come from the crazy side quests and unique mini-games and distractions. Whereas the main story in Yakuza 6 is a very personal and emotional arc, the side quests always lend a deal of levity to proceedings. None are especially serious – many are laugh-out-loud funny. Whether you are chasing ghost pirates away from a local graveyard, helping a young girl find merchandise from her favourite singer or stopping a budding Youtuber from performing dangerous Jackass-style stunts, they offer short and amusing diversions.
There is also the usual selection of mini-games to occupy your time, such as Mah-Jong, Karaoke and baseball batting cages, but many new additions or tweaks to old favourites have been made to offer even more depth. The Sega gaming arcades not only offer classics such as Outrun and Hang-On, but now include full versions of Virtua Fighter 5 and Puyo Puyo (which can also both be played in multi-player mode with a friend). I was disappointed by the lack of UFO Catcher machines though – as in my own time in Japan I became quite addicted to these, and they have always been in past titles. Thankfully this is a minor inconvenience, far outweighed by the many other new additions.
The almost RTS-like Clan Creator mode sees Kazuma building up his own gang of locals to fight back against an evil group that is taking over the city. You recruit, level up and deploy your troops like a general, taking on waves of increasingly more difficult enemies. A baseball management mode offers a similar take on that favourite past-time, tasking you with building up a terrible local team into a force to be reckoned with. Even the regular Hostess clubs have been given an overhaul, featuring a new card-based conversation system whereby you can try to win the affections of your chosen maiden. Add in a rather risque live chat mini-game, a very arcade-like spear fishing mode and a Cat Cafe which Kiryu is himself responsible for populating with an army of kitties, and there is plenty to keep you occupied aside from the main storyline – if you so wish.
A quick mention should also be made to the improved visual fidelity of the whole experience. Whilst there is a massive gulf between the cookie-cutter NPC faces and the featured main characters, there is a marked improvement in textures all-around. This is illustrated best on the rather large selection of characters who are modelled on real-life actors. Beat Takeshi plays a fairly large supporting role – in his usual understated, yet endearingly eccentric way – along with several other recognisable Japanese actors. One street gang is made up almost entirely of real New Japan Pro Wrestling superstars, including current IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada. These faces are all very detailed and expressive, which when coupled with the more fluid animations and higher-resolution environments, make Yakuza 6 a more authentic virtual trip to Japan than ever before.
VERDICT
It will always be difficult to sell a sequel like this to gamers who have never before dipped their toe into the series. It would be a mistake to be put off by the large number six that you see on the box though people, this is one of the most captivating and content-rich adventures that I have played in quite some time – and can be enjoyed thoroughly even with no prior knowledge of the story. With so many side quests and mini-games, pacing has always been an issue in past Yakuza games, but the absorbing nature of the main plot made The Song of Life feel like it never had time to slow down. By paring away unnecessary additional playable characters, disposing of multiple fighting styles and focusing on a more character-driven story than prior entries, we are left with a far more compelling tale – one in which I couldn’t wait to find out what would happen next. Whilst this may be the last outing for legendary hero Kazuma Kiryu, the future is certainly bright for the Yakuza franchise as a whole.

Dear reddit RDH’s,
I’m writing to you all as a wife, mom, and also as a fellow state board licensed professional as a registered nurse.
Last Spring my husband of 15 years had an affair with a dental hygienist at the dental practice we have been going to for 10 years in our small community, “we” is me, husband, daughter (now college grad), and teen son. We actually chose the practice as we me dentist at middle school activity- our daughters were both involved – not close friends, but continued familiar relationship throug HS graduation.
He went in for routine appointment, she routinely talks about bad marriage relationship (of 16 years) ‘he’s controlling, suspicious”, etc… My husband is police officer “ call me if I can help”- not in an innocent manner- clear boundary break. She leaves next day to “work on relationship with husband” on advice from pastor- to Mexico. Next day begin to text my husband flirty messages, then suggestive messages bikini pics, then half nude, then nudes. She’s gets home 1 week later and he is ready for divorce.
My marriage is not the concern of my post. I have had minimal contact with this woman in 9 months since I became aware of affair. I doubt my marriage is going to survive this affair, and I will continue to grieve this as time moves on. As a nurse, I would be horrified and quick to judge and point out to any of my coworker/friends how inappropriate and unprofessional this behavior was/is, and I am tempted to inform the dentist that she works with. I have struggled with my decision as I never wanted it to be made out of anger towards her because the responsibility is and always has been on my husband. However, she has also had contact with our 2 children for more than 10 years, and me- and her lack of judgement concerns me. I would never attend this practice again as long as she is still employed there, and would certainly never have my kids go there. I’m tempted to tell dentist this, and also that I will not hesitate to tell everyone we know in our small town the above story and recommend they take their dental concerns elsewhere. What do you all think?

Another year, another round of updates for cars. The latest news about 2019 lineup changes from Mercedes-Benz.
For the upcoming year, Mercedes-Benz has a long list of changes coming to the new luxury cars. Because of this long list, the press release is dense with information and I want to break it down as easily as possible for you all. So here’s the breakdown, direct from Mercedes:
