My OS is Windows 10 and lets take a short look at the settings - 1080p borderless windowed with High Details settings, TS-DDRAW.
We are going to run the one of the most performance heavy missions in Mental Omega - Relentless aka FPSless.
Most of the people never enjoyed the mission in stable 30FPS, even when playing with 1280x720p resolution.
Take a look at the bottom left corner of the video - observe the FPS counter, it's mostly below 20 average FPS.
The introduction to the mission has some stalls and is quite slow, playing it is also hard to perform.
The fix I've got is a MUST HAVE for the players using the Windows 10 - I've never had such issues before with Windows 7.
As you can see, scrolling the screen is quite troublesome and units are moving very slowly.
Take another look at the bottom top corner with FPS Counter - it never gets above the 20 FPS.
Ok, lets end this annoying issue with one small file that will fix most of your issues.
You can see a file "nazoul_ddraw.ddl" - simply download this file from the description and place in the Resources folder.
That folder is in your main Mental Omega catalogue, simply place the .dll file there - this file is also available with CnCNet Launcher.
Delete the "ts_ddraw.ddl" fire and rename "nazoul_ddraw.ddl" to "ts_ddraw.ddl" and accept it.
Run the game back again, be sure to have TS-DDRAW chosen because we've replaced it with Nazoul-DDRAW.
You can already notice a huge performance boost during the introduction to the mission, it's really smooth.
Screen is scrolling without any visible performance drops, the units move normally, same goes to the projectiles on the screen.
And take a look at the FPS Counter in the bottom left corner of the screen - stable 28 to 30FPS all the time!
When the mission begins there is no performance issues at all - you can play at last without performance issues!
But remember that you need still a quite good PC to play such missions - strong CPU is a must have, mine is 3.6GHz.

10 Things We Know or Don't about 'Oumuamua - Duration: 11:39.
Comets and asteroids come and go, but few make as much of a stir as 'Oumuamua.
Toward the end of last year, its virtually unprecedented appearance from interstellar
space made urgent headlines around the world.
And, in various ways, it left an indelible footprint.
While numerous mysteries remain about this curious galactic traveller, astronomers managed
to glean several key pieces of information during its recent fly-by.
Here are some of the most interesting.
10.
It Probably Isn't Alien Technology
The discovery of 'Oumuamua was oddly coincidental with last year's revelations about the Pentagon's
secret black money UFO program.
And indeed the first thought among even seasoned astronomers like Stephen Hawking was that
it could be an alien starship, or at least an artifact from some extraterrestrial civilization.
With the backing of Hawking (as well as Mark Zuckerberg and Yuri Milner) the Breakthrough
Listen initiative set out to detect signs of intelligence from the object, specifically
listening for artificial radio signals.
And while at the time of writing they hadn't found any, the team accumulated a massive
90 terabytes of raw data across billions of individual channels, so a full analysis (including
pulsating signals as well as continuous) may take some time.
That said, another research team carried out spectroscopic observations and concluded that
the object is natural.
Nevertheless, the spot-on timing of 'Oumuamua's discovery (and the inevitable comingling of
media coverage) has fueled a "false flag" conspiracy theory that the military-industrial
complex is preparing us for a staged alien invasion.
Such a bigger, badder menace, it is feared, could potentially clear the way for unlimited
military spending and harsher civil restrictions.
9.
It's Seen as a "Messenger from Afar"
Officially designated 1I/2017 U1 by the International Astronomical Union—the first of a brand
new class—the object's unofficial (but for some equally unwieldy) nickname 'Oumuamua
was given by the Pan-STARRS team that discovered it.
Pronounced oh-MOO-uh MOO-uh, the word is Hawaiian for "messenger from afar arriving first,"
and it's particularly apt considering the potentially breakthrough data the object carries
about the formation of other solar systems.
Assuming it doesn't turn out to be artificial (and even, or especially, if it does!), there's
a lot more we can learn from it too, including the long-term effects of exposure to cosmic
rays.
Astronomers studying the origins of 'Oumuamua have been especially poetic in their appraisal,
describing the object as a "messenger sent from the distant past to reach out to us."
8.
It's Among the Fastest Objects Ever Detected
One of the most surprising things about 'Oumuamua was its incredible speed.
The average asteroid travels at 25 km/s and the average comet at 40 km/s relative to the
Earth.
But when 'Oumuamua was discovered in October 2017, it was going an impressive 60 km/s relative
to the Earth and only picking up speed as it approached the Sun.
At its fastest, just as it slingshot around the star, it reached a blinding 87.3 km/s,
or 196,000 miles per hour (315,431 km/h) relative to the Sun, which kept it from falling in
completely and burning up for good.
Although 'Oumuamua lost speed considerably as it climbed away, owing to the intense gravitational
pull of the Sun, it maintains a velocity of around 26 km/s (93,600 km/h) as it flies along
its new trajectory.
7.
It's Pink
Although a great deal of media attention has focused on the reddish hue of 'Oumuamua,
it's not actually all that remarkable—and it's not actually all that red.
Outside of a star's magnetic field, drifting through interstellar space, objects like 'Oumuamua
are continually exposed to high-energy radiation from cosmic rays.
And, as is well known among astronomers, this continual bombardment substantially alters
surface properties over time.
In fact, the process of color change is so reliable that the redness of an object can
be used to gauge, approximately, how long it's been floating in space.
Since 'Oumuamua is pinkish in color it's unlikely to have been wandering for the billions
of years that some have suggested (and for which our solar system has existed).
Instead, its relatively neutral color suggests exposure for hundreds of millions of years
at the most, a "relatively young" age when it comes to celestial driftwood.
6.
It's Not Really the First Interstellar Visitor
Another media focus has been the rarity of interstellar objects in our solar system,
with many claiming that 'Oumuamua is in fact the first.
It's certainly interesting to note that none of the 750,000 or so asteroids and comets
within our solar system are thought to have come from outside it—even though planet
formation ejects plenty of material into interstellar space.
That said, 'Oumuamua is extremely unlikely to be the first interstellar object to visit.
There are estimated to be more than 46 million such objects crossing our solar system each
year, most of which are just too far away to be seen.
It is, however, the first detectable object known to be interstellar in origin.
And we know this because of its hyperbolic trajectory (a trajectory outside of any central
body's gravitational pull) and its speed at infinity (a velocity higher than escape
velocity, the minimum speed required to escape a massive body's gravitational pull).
That we haven't seen more of these is really just a limitation of our technology; we were
lucky to catch even this one.
As more advanced telescopes come online, astronomers expect to see plenty more interstellar objects
flying through our solar system.
Among other things, this means more opportunities for research and more potential targets for
extraterrestrial life.
5.
It Defies Categorization
When it was discovered by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS1 telescope, 'Oumuamua
was thought to be a comet.
But it had more rock than ice and, although it heated up when it passed the Sun—reaching
a surface temperature of 550 degrees Fahrenheit—no surface ice boiled off and no tail developed.
But it's not an asteroid either; researchers found no signs of the usual minerals, speculating
instead that 'Oumuamua consists of a robust carbon casing around an icy core—frozen
alien water shielded for hundreds of millions of years and unable to boil off in starlight.
In other words, says astronomer Alan Fitzsimmons of Queen's University Belfast, it looks
like an asteroid but it's built like a comet—albeit one that's turned inside out.
Even this theory has been thrown into question more recently, though, since there's no
evidence of water either.
For now, 'Oumuamua is simply referred to as an "interstellar object," or sometimes
more romantically as a sola lapis or "lonely rock."
4.
It Looks Like a Cigar (or a Needle, or an Oddly Shaped Pen, or Maybe Even a Monolith
from 2001)
Widely circulated images like the one above are of course artists' impressions.
Nobody's seen 'Oumuamua up close.
So the question arises: How do we know what it looks like?
The truth is we don't—not exactly.
All we know is that it's around ten times as long as it is wide, and we base this on
observations of light.
As the object spins on its axis (once every 7.3 hours or so), huge fluctuations in brightness
suggest a greater aspect ratio than anything seen before—comet or asteroid.
Imagine a shiny cylinder spinning toward a light in slow motion; you'd see relatively
little light reflected from the ends but, as it rotated, substantially more from the
sides.
Even if you didn't know the shape, you'd be able to guess the dimensions.
As such, 'Oumuamua is thought to be around 400 meters (or one quarter mile) in length
and just 40 meters wide, although some estimates put it at 800×80 meters or even 160 meters
in width.
Whatever the case, the shape is certainly weird, and this could give us clues as to
how other solar systems form.
3.
We May Never Know Where It Came From
There are various theories as to the origins of 'Oumuamua, but none can be taken as fact.
According to one theory, it could be from the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud and not interstellar
at all.
In this case, its speed would suggest the presence of an as yet undiscovered planet
whose gravity would be required to boost it.
In earlier simulations, 'Oumuamua's trajectory was tracked back to the bright star Vega in
the constellation of Lyra; however, because it would have taken 300,000 years to reach
us (even at such speeds), Vega wouldn't have been in the same position when 'Oumuamua
is supposed to have left.
Wherever the object originated, it's likely to have been ejected from the debris surrounding
a young star (also known as the protoplanetary disk)—perhaps in the Pleiades—hundreds
of millions of years ago.
It may now be part of an immense interstellar asteroid field, through which our Sun and
its satellites are currently cruising on our journey around the Milky Way's core.
There are estimated to be around 700 trillion such objects per cubic parsec, which is pretty
dense considering a parsec is equivalent to just 30 trillion kilometers.
Based on these figures, anywhere between 2 and 12 interstellar objects should be passing
through the solar system, inside Earth's orbit, every year.
2.
It's Leaving Us, But It'll Take Some Time
'Oumuamua is now on its way out of the solar system, headed back out to the stars at a
rate of 26 km/s.
But even at that speed, it'll take 20,000 years for it to leave our solar system entirely.
Meanwhile, it's becoming increasingly difficult (if it's not yet impossible) to observe
'Oumuamua with existing telescopes—an especially unfortunate situation given its
rarity.
Understandably, astronomers are clamouring for a closer look, and sending a probe to
the object—however far-fetched that sounds—is one of their highest priorities.
Of course, that means chasing 'Oumuamua down and intercepting it at speeds higher
than 26 km/s, which isn't really plausible given current technology.
Even Voyager 1, the fastest object ever launched, can only reach 16.6 km/s.
The longer we leave it, though, the faster we'll need to go to catch up within a reasonable
timeframe, that is, before 'Oumuamua travels too far out for our probe to return data to
Earth.
Laser propulsion—whereby ultra-light, wafer-thin craft are propelled to within 25 percent of
the speed of light by multi-megawatt lasers in orbit—could hold promise, but the technology
is nowhere near ready.
As such, some astronomers are banking instead on laser sails being available in time for
the next interstellar arrival.
1.
It Shows Us How Unprepared We Are for Possible Asteroid Impacts
One of the things 'Oumuamua can teach us is how to better detect near-Earth and potentially
hazardous objects.
But its sudden appearance to our telescopes is a bit of a wake up call.
Were 'Oumuamua's trajectory headed toward Earth, it would have hit us before we'd
even seen it.
The worst case scenario, according to amateur researchers, would have been the leveling
of an entire city with a force equivalent to 2,057 Hiroshima bombs.
Entering the atmosphere at 233 times the speed of sound, 'Oumuamua could have vaporized
everything within at least a 50 kilometer (30 mile) radius of ground zero, killing hundreds
of thousands or even millions of people.
Bigger, more sophisticated telescopes—such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope currently
under construction in Chile—will no doubt help us to better detect objects in the future.
But, for now at least, 'Oumuamua highlights a worrying vulnerability to space rocks—especially
considering the Pan-STARRS telescope that discovered it (after it passed by) is specifically
tasked with our protection.

West America - The Death Valley | ROAD TRIP FATHER & SON - Duration: 3:49.
When you're in canyon, there is only you and the noise that you make there
you stop
everything stops
not a sound
that's what struck me here, in the death valley
The valley of death an incomparable silence. not a tree on the horizon. it's so lunar
Further down the road we came across a place I will never forget
this sand was so fine
and always the same silence
it is at this moment that the name of this valley has made sense for me. in 2013,
there was recorded the peak of heat never recorded on earth by man:
57 degrees
With my father, we really wanted to experience the valley of death to the end. the third night,
we decided to sleep on the highest point of view
Dantes view
and this is also the first time we sleep in the van. and what a great first!
the wind made the dodge rock all night long
but the next day our reward was there
The valley of death will be a great memory of this crossing of the American West. a hard, unforgiving nature,
that man eventually tamed 200 years ago for his wealth: his basement
here pioneers crossed these lands in the hope of finding a generous California in minerals
It is with this vision that we leave this state, for another other curiosity of the United States: las vegas

Mental Omega 3.3.2 Red Alert 2 - How to reduce lags and play smooth? - Duration: 4:29.
My OS is Windows 10 and lets take a short look at the settings - 1080p borderless windowed with High Details settings, TS-DDRAW.
We are going to run the one of the most performance heavy missions in Mental Omega - Relentless aka FPSless.
Most of the people never enjoyed the mission in stable 30FPS, even when playing with 1280x720p resolution.
Take a look at the bottom left corner of the video - observe the FPS counter, it's mostly below 20 average FPS.
The introduction to the mission has some stalls and is quite slow, playing it is also hard to perform.
The fix I've got is a MUST HAVE for the players using the Windows 10 - I've never had such issues before with Windows 7.
As you can see, scrolling the screen is quite troublesome and units are moving very slowly.
Take another look at the bottom top corner with FPS Counter - it never gets above the 20 FPS.
Ok, lets end this annoying issue with one small file that will fix most of your issues.
You can see a file "nazoul_ddraw.ddl" - simply download this file from the description and place in the Resources folder.

10 Things We Know or Don't about 'Oumuamua - Duration: 11:39.Comets and asteroids come and go, but few make as much of a stir as 'Oumuamua.
Toward the end of last year, its virtually unprecedented appearance from interstellar
space made urgent headlines around the world.
And, in various ways, it left an indelible footprint.
While numerous mysteries remain about this curious galactic traveller, astronomers managed
to glean several key pieces of information during its recent fly-by.
Here are some of the most interesting.
10.
It Probably Isn't Alien Technology
The discovery of 'Oumuamua was oddly coincidental with last year's revelations about the Pentagon's
secret black money UFO program.
And indeed the first thought among even seasoned astronomers like Stephen Hawking was that
it could be an alien starship, or at least an artifact from some extraterrestrial civilization.
With the backing of Hawking (as well as Mark Zuckerberg and Yuri Milner) the Breakthrough
Listen initiative set out to detect signs of intelligence from the object, specifically
listening for artificial radio signals.
And while at the time of writing they hadn't found any, the team accumulated a massive
90 terabytes of raw data across billions of individual channels, so a full analysis (including
pulsating signals as well as continuous) may take some time.
That said, another research team carried out spectroscopic observations and concluded that
the object is natural.
Nevertheless, the spot-on timing of 'Oumuamua's discovery (and the inevitable comingling of
media coverage) has fueled a "false flag" conspiracy theory that the military-industrial
complex is preparing us for a staged alien invasion.
Such a bigger, badder menace, it is feared, could potentially clear the way for unlimited
military spending and harsher civil restrictions.
9.
It's Seen as a "Messenger from Afar"
Officially designated 1I/2017 U1 by the International Astronomical Union—the first of a brand
new class—the object's unofficial (but for some equally unwieldy) nickname 'Oumuamua
was given by the Pan-STARRS team that discovered it.
Pronounced oh-MOO-uh MOO-uh, the word is Hawaiian for "messenger from afar arriving first,"
and it's particularly apt considering the potentially breakthrough data the object carries
about the formation of other solar systems.
Assuming it doesn't turn out to be artificial (and even, or especially, if it does!), there's
a lot more we can learn from it too, including the long-term effects of exposure to cosmic
rays.
Astronomers studying the origins of 'Oumuamua have been especially poetic in their appraisal,
describing the object as a "messenger sent from the distant past to reach out to us."
8.
It's Among the Fastest Objects Ever Detected
One of the most surprising things about 'Oumuamua was its incredible speed.
The average asteroid travels at 25 km/s and the average comet at 40 km/s relative to the
Earth.
But when 'Oumuamua was discovered in October 2017, it was going an impressive 60 km/s relative
to the Earth and only picking up speed as it approached the Sun.
At its fastest, just as it slingshot around the star, it reached a blinding 87.3 km/s,
or 196,000 miles per hour (315,431 km/h) relative to the Sun, which kept it from falling in
completely and burning up for good.
Although 'Oumuamua lost speed considerably as it climbed away, owing to the intense gravitational
pull of the Sun, it maintains a velocity of around 26 km/s (93,600 km/h) as it flies along
its new trajectory.
7.
It's Pink
Although a great deal of media attention has focused on the reddish hue of 'Oumuamua,
it's not actually all that remarkable—and it's not actually all that red.
Outside of a star's magnetic field, drifting through interstellar space, objects like 'Oumuamua
are continually exposed to high-energy radiation from cosmic rays.
And, as is well known among astronomers, this continual bombardment substantially alters
surface properties over time.
In fact, the process of color change is so reliable that the redness of an object can
be used to gauge, approximately, how long it's been floating in space.
Since 'Oumuamua is pinkish in color it's unlikely to have been wandering for the billions
of years that some have suggested (and for which our solar system has existed).
Instead, its relatively neutral color suggests exposure for hundreds of millions of years
at the most, a "relatively young" age when it comes to celestial driftwood.
6.
It's Not Really the First Interstellar Visitor
Another media focus has been the rarity of interstellar objects in our solar system,
with many claiming that 'Oumuamua is in fact the first.
It's certainly interesting to note that none of the 750,000 or so asteroids and comets
within our solar system are thought to have come from outside it—even though planet
formation ejects plenty of material into interstellar space.
That said, 'Oumuamua is extremely unlikely to be the first interstellar object to visit.
There are estimated to be more than 46 million such objects crossing our solar system each
year, most of which are just too far away to be seen.
It is, however, the first detectable object known to be interstellar in origin.
And we know this because of its hyperbolic trajectory (a trajectory outside of any central
body's gravitational pull) and its speed at infinity (a velocity higher than escape
velocity, the minimum speed required to escape a massive body's gravitational pull).
That we haven't seen more of these is really just a limitation of our technology; we were
lucky to catch even this one.
As more advanced telescopes come online, astronomers expect to see plenty more interstellar objects
flying through our solar system.
Among other things, this means more opportunities for research and more potential targets for
extraterrestrial life.
5.
It Defies Categorization
When it was discovered by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS1 telescope, 'Oumuamua
was thought to be a comet.
But it had more rock than ice and, although it heated up when it passed the Sun—reaching
a surface temperature of 550 degrees Fahrenheit—no surface ice boiled off and no tail developed.
But it's not an asteroid either; researchers found no signs of the usual minerals, speculating
instead that 'Oumuamua consists of a robust carbon casing around an icy core—frozen
alien water shielded for hundreds of millions of years and unable to boil off in starlight.
In other words, says astronomer Alan Fitzsimmons of Queen's University Belfast, it looks
like an asteroid but it's built like a comet—albeit one that's turned inside out.
Even this theory has been thrown into question more recently, though, since there's no
evidence of water either.
For now, 'Oumuamua is simply referred to as an "interstellar object," or sometimes
more romantically as a sola lapis or "lonely rock."
4.
It Looks Like a Cigar (or a Needle, or an Oddly Shaped Pen, or Maybe Even a Monolith
from 2001)
Widely circulated images like the one above are of course artists' impressions.
Nobody's seen 'Oumuamua up close.
So the question arises: How do we know what it looks like?
The truth is we don't—not exactly.
All we know is that it's around ten times as long as it is wide, and we base this on
observations of light.
As the object spins on its axis (once every 7.3 hours or so), huge fluctuations in brightness
suggest a greater aspect ratio than anything seen before—comet or asteroid.
Imagine a shiny cylinder spinning toward a light in slow motion; you'd see relatively
little light reflected from the ends but, as it rotated, substantially more from the
sides.
Even if you didn't know the shape, you'd be able to guess the dimensions.
As such, 'Oumuamua is thought to be around 400 meters (or one quarter mile) in length
and just 40 meters wide, although some estimates put it at 800×80 meters or even 160 meters
in width.
Whatever the case, the shape is certainly weird, and this could give us clues as to
how other solar systems form.
3.
We May Never Know Where It Came From
There are various theories as to the origins of 'Oumuamua, but none can be taken as fact.
According to one theory, it could be from the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud and not interstellar
at all.
In this case, its speed would suggest the presence of an as yet undiscovered planet
whose gravity would be required to boost it.
In earlier simulations, 'Oumuamua's trajectory was tracked back to the bright star Vega in
the constellation of Lyra; however, because it would have taken 300,000 years to reach
us (even at such speeds), Vega wouldn't have been in the same position when 'Oumuamua
is supposed to have left.
Wherever the object originated, it's likely to have been ejected from the debris surrounding
a young star (also known as the protoplanetary disk)—perhaps in the Pleiades—hundreds
of millions of years ago.
It may now be part of an immense interstellar asteroid field, through which our Sun and
its satellites are currently cruising on our journey around the Milky Way's core.
There are estimated to be around 700 trillion such objects per cubic parsec, which is pretty
dense considering a parsec is equivalent to just 30 trillion kilometers.
Based on these figures, anywhere between 2 and 12 interstellar objects should be passing
through the solar system, inside Earth's orbit, every year.
2.
It's Leaving Us, But It'll Take Some Time
'Oumuamua is now on its way out of the solar system, headed back out to the stars at a
rate of 26 km/s.
But even at that speed, it'll take 20,000 years for it to leave our solar system entirely.
Meanwhile, it's becoming increasingly difficult (if it's not yet impossible) to observe
'Oumuamua with existing telescopes—an especially unfortunate situation given its
rarity.
Understandably, astronomers are clamouring for a closer look, and sending a probe to
the object—however far-fetched that sounds—is one of their highest priorities.
Of course, that means chasing 'Oumuamua down and intercepting it at speeds higher
than 26 km/s, which isn't really plausible given current technology.
Even Voyager 1, the fastest object ever launched, can only reach 16.6 km/s.
The longer we leave it, though, the faster we'll need to go to catch up within a reasonable
timeframe, that is, before 'Oumuamua travels too far out for our probe to return data to
Earth.
Laser propulsion—whereby ultra-light, wafer-thin craft are propelled to within 25 percent of
the speed of light by multi-megawatt lasers in orbit—could hold promise, but the technology
is nowhere near ready.
As such, some astronomers are banking instead on laser sails being available in time for
the next interstellar arrival.
1.
It Shows Us How Unprepared We Are for Possible Asteroid Impacts
One of the things 'Oumuamua can teach us is how to better detect near-Earth and potentially
hazardous objects.
But its sudden appearance to our telescopes is a bit of a wake up call.
Were 'Oumuamua's trajectory headed toward Earth, it would have hit us before we'd
even seen it.
The worst case scenario, according to amateur researchers, would have been the leveling
of an entire city with a force equivalent to 2,057 Hiroshima bombs.
Entering the atmosphere at 233 times the speed of sound, 'Oumuamua could have vaporized
everything within at least a 50 kilometer (30 mile) radius of ground zero, killing hundreds
of thousands or even millions of people.
Bigger, more sophisticated telescopes—such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope currently
under construction in Chile—will no doubt help us to better detect objects in the future.
But, for now at least, 'Oumuamua highlights a worrying vulnerability to space rocks—especially
considering the Pan-STARRS telescope that discovered it (after it passed by) is specifically
tasked with our protection.

everything stops

that's what struck me here, in the death valley
The valley of death an incomparable silence. not a tree on the horizon. it's so lunar
Further down the road we came across a place I will never forget
this sand was so fine
and always the same silence
it is at this moment that the name of this valley has made sense for me. in 2013,
there was recorded the peak of heat never recorded on earth by man:
57 degrees
With my father, we really wanted to experience the valley of death to the end. the third night,
we decided to sleep on the highest point of view
Dantes view
and this is also the first time we sleep in the van. and what a great first!
the wind made the dodge rock all night long
but the next day our reward was there
The valley of death will be a great memory of this crossing of the American West. a hard, unforgiving nature,
that man eventually tamed 200 years ago for his wealth: his basement
here pioneers crossed these lands in the hope of finding a generous California in minerals
It is with this vision that we leave this state, for another other curiosity of the United States: las vegas

Most people believe that fluoride is beneficial and refuse to see the detriments of it.
Additionally, the same people have no idea where fluoride comes from and the numerous
toxic applications it is used on, such as the extermination of cockroach and rats.
In a recent peer review journal, fluoride has been classified as a neurotoxin, similar
to lead and arsenic, yet governmental and health agencies still insist that it is good
for you.

1.
Fluoride Is A Carcinogen
Fluoride was found to be an equivocal carcinogen by the National Cancer Institute Toxicological
Program.
Further studies by the New Jersey Department of Health have now confirmed a 6.9 fold increase
in bone cancer in young males.
Earlier studies had found a 5% increase in all types of cancers in fluoridated communities.
�In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster than
any other chemical,� stated Dr. Dean Burk PhD who spent over three decades with the
national cancer institute.
Researchers suspect a connection to cancer because half of ingested fluoride is deposited
in bones, and fluoride stimulates growth in the end of bones, where osteosarcoma occurs.
2.
Most Developed Countries Do Not Fluoridate Their Water
Most developed nations do not fluoridate their water.
In western Europe, for example, only 3% of the population consumes fluoridated water.
Only 11 countries in the world have more than 50% of their population drinking fluoridated
water: Australia (80%), Brunei (95%); Chile (70%), Guyana (62%), Hong Kong (100%), the
Irish Republic (73%), Israel (70%), Malaysia (75%), New Zealand (62%), Singapore (100%),
and the United States (64%).
In total, 377,655,000 million people worldwide drink artificially fluoridated water.
This represents 5% of the world�s population.
3.
Fluoride Increases Hip Fractures
Drinking fluoridated water will double the number of hip fractures for both older men
and women.
Extremely low levels of water fluoridation 0.1 ppm still produced statistically significant
increased hip fractures.
(Bordeaux Study JAMA 1994)
4.
Fluoridated Countries Do Not Have Less Tooth Decay Than Non-Fluoridated Countries
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there is no discernible difference
in tooth decay between developed countries that fluoridate their water and those that
do not.
The decline in tooth decay the US has experienced over the last 60 years, which is often attributed
to fluoridated water, has likewise occurred in all developed countries (most of which
do not fluoridate their water).
What the CDC always fails to mention is that tooth decay rates have �precipitously declined�
in all western countries, irrespective of whether the country ever fluoridated its water.
Indeed, most western countries do not fluoridate their water and yet their tooth decay rates
have declined at the same rate as the U.S. and other fluoridated countries.
No correlation was found between the level of fluoride in water and dental caries.
There also appears to be a genetically related increase in tooth decay for Hispanics, Indians,
Native Americans and Asians.
Decay is largely related to the educational and economic level of the parents.
�Fluoridation is no longer effective,� contends Hardy Limeback, head of the preventive
dentistry program at the University of Toronto, who says adding the chemical to water is �more
harmful than beneficial.�
5.
Fluoridated Water Affects IQ and Neurobehavioral Development in Children
Although fluoride has been proven to cause neurotoxicity in animal models, very little
published research has elaborated on acute fluoride poisoning and neurotoxicity in adults
and children.
A report in a peer-reviewed open access journal published by the National Institute of Environmental
Health Sciences performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies to
investigate the effects of increased fluoride exposure and delayed neurobehavioral development.
A study published in Neurologia showed �the prolonged ingestion of fluoride may cause
significant damage to health and particularly to the nervous system.� That was the conclusion
by a review of studies by researchers Valdez-Jimenez, et al.
Researchers Anna L. Choi, Guifan Sun, Ying Zhang and Philippe Grandjean researched the
MEDLINE, EMBASE, Water Resources Abstracts, and TOXNET databases through 2011 for eligible
studies.
The standardized weighted mean difference in IQ score between exposed and reference
populations showed that populations in high fluoride areas had significantly lower IQ
scores than those who lived in low fluoride areas.
6.
Fluoride Increases Infertility
Infertility in women was found to increase with water fluoridation.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scientists reported a close correlation between decreasing
total fertility rates in women between ages of 10 and 49, and increasing fluoride levels.
They also reported that a review of all of the animal studies done to date shows that
fluoride adversely affects fertility in most animal species.
7.
Fluoridation is Not a �Natural� Process and Fluoride is NOT A NUTRIENT
Fluoride is naturally occurring in some areas, leading to high levels in certain water supplies
�naturally.� Fluoridation advocates often use this to support its safety, however naturally
occurring substances are not automatically safe (think of arsenic, for instance).
Further, the fluoride added to most water supplies is not the naturally occurring variety
but rather fluorosilicic acid, which is captured in air pollution control devices of the phosphate
fertilizer industry.
As FAN reported:
�This captured fluoride acid is the most contaminated chemical added to public water
supplies, and may impose additional risks to those presented by natural fluorides.
These risks include a possible cancer hazard from the acid�s elevated arsenic content,
and a possible neurotoxic hazard from the acid�s ability�under some conditions�to
increase the erosion of lead from old pipes.�
The term �fluoride supplement� is a misnomer as it implies that the product is a dietary
supplement, like calcium and other nutrients.
Fluoride, however, is not a nutrient.
A nutrient is something the body has a physiological demand for�they�re not optional; we need
them.
The term �fluoride supplement� is also a misnomer because most dietary supplements
can be purchased over the counter (i.e., without a prescription).
Fluoride supplements, however, cannot be purchased over the counter; they are only available
by prescription from either a licensed dentist or doctor.
8.
Fluoride Increases Fluorosis
Fluorosis is a defect of tooth enamel caused by too much fluoride intake during the first
8 years of life.
Opaque white spots and brown ugly teeth are caused by fluoride.
Fluorosis currently affects one out of five or more children in this nation although it
is rarely seen in California.
California is the least fluoridated state with less than 16% of the population drinking
artificially fluoridated water.
Common causes of fluorosis include: fluoridated drinking water (particularly during infancy),
ingestion of fluoride toothpaste, use of fluoride tablets, and consumption of processed foods
made with fluoridated water.
9.
Fluoride Calcifies The Pineal Gland
A British researcher found that the cells in the pineal gland (a gland that contains
calcified deposits that accumulate fluoride) were just as susceptible to fluoride-induced
toxicity as the tooth-forming cells.
Unlike the teeth, however, the pineal gland cannot be seen by the naked eye.
As noted by the researcher, �The safety of the use of fluorides ultimately rests on
the assumption that the developing enamel organ is most sensitive to the toxic effects
of fluoride.
The results from this study suggest that-the pinealocytes may be as susceptible to fluoride
as the developing enamel organ.� The pineal controls your inner clock, provides good sleep,
works with your adrenal glands to handle stress, keeps the thymus gland fed and cared for,
and communicates 24/7 with the rest of the endocrine system about how things are going.
10.
Fluoride Is NOT APPROVED By The FDA
As the FDA has long recognized, fluoride is not necessary to human health or development.
When used to prevent disease, therefore, the FDA considers fluoride to be a drug.
FDA has never approved a fluoride supplement as safe and effective.
FDA has rejected two fluoride supplements (Enziflur & prenatal fluoride)
FDA gave false information to Congress in 2000 by stating FDA �never rejected� a
fluoride supplement.
11.
Fluoride Is Highly Toxic, Yet It is The Drug Added To Public Water
Fluoride is added to drinking water to prevent a disease (tooth decay), and as such becomes
a medicine by FDA definition.
While proponents claim this is no different than adding vitamin D to milk, fluoride is
not an essential nutrient.
Many European nations have rejected fluoride for the very reason that delivering medication
via the water supply would be inappropriate.
Water fluoridation is a form of mass medication that denies you the right to informed consent.
The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology has classified Fluoride as
an unapproved dental medicament due to its high toxicity.
12.
Most people are overexposed to fluoride due to the pesticide cryolite found in consumption
of grape products, particularly white grapes, grown in the U.S
Many juice drinks that are not labeled as �grape juice� use grape juice as a filler
ingredient.
The use of cryolite thus contaminates many juices with fluoride.
Cryolite is also allowed to be added to the following products (although it is unclear
how many producers actually do so, and what the resulting fluoride levels are):
Apricot, Broccoli, Brussels Sprout, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Citrus fruit, Collards, Eggplant,
Kale, Kiwifruit, Kohlrabi, Lettuce, Melon, Nectarine, Peach, Pepper, Plum, Pumpkin, Squash
(summer & winter), Tomato, and a number of Berries (Blackberry, Blueberry (huckleberry)
Boysenberry, Cranberry, Dewberry, Loganberry, Raspberry, Strawberry, Youngberry).
The key way to avoid exposure to fluoride from cryolite is to avoid buying non-organic
grape products, particularly beverages made out of white grapes.
13.
USDA Organic Has Allowed Fluoride To Contaminate The Organic Label
Fluoride is a persistent and non-degradable poison that accumulates in soil, plants, wildlife,
and humans.
Many organic farmers may be unaware that this highly toxic substance has been allowed for
use in the National Organic Standards (NOS) program, because its presence is hidden.
However, it is allowed as Sodium Fluoride tucked away in the US EPA List 4 Inerts (�Inerts
which have sufficient data to substantiate they can be used safely in pesticide products,
according to EPA.�), which are allowed for use in the NOS.
It is also allowed in Bone Meal (which can contain 1000 ppm � or more- fluoride), also
included in US EPA List 4 Inerts (�Inerts generally regarded as safe, i.e., corn cobs
and cookie crumbs,� according to EPA).
14.
Fluoride Is Linked To The Leading Cause of Death
Depending on the country, cardiovascular disease is typically either the number one or two
cause of death.
A study published in Nuclear Medicine Communications Journal has concluded that increased uptake
of fluoride in arteries may be associated with an increased cardiovascular risk.
15.
Most Teas At Grocery Retailers Contain Toxic Levels of Fluoride
Drinking cheaper tea blends found at major grocery retailers can increase the level of
people�s fluoride intake to toxic levels and put them at increased risk of skeletal
and dental illnesses, a University of Derby found.
The study is published in journal Food Research International.
16.
Leading Peer Review Journal lists fluoride as neuorotoxin, similar to lead and arsenic
The world�s leading peer reviewed medical journal, The Lancet, just published their
findings stating that fluoride has been classified among the neurotoxins such as lead, mercury,
arsenic, etc.

Toxic People: How to End a Bad Relationship - Duration: 3:47.
Toxic People: How to End a Bad Relationship
It takes time to end what is seemingly a bad relationship, especially if you really love
him, or her.
Bad relationship is usually started by a toxic person in a relationship.
It can be from one partner, family, or friend.
It is worth mentioning that there is always external factor involved in a relationship.
That toxic person can destroy the relationship too.
However, before blaming someone else, it is worth mentioning that the main factor that
makes relationship bad is toxic person in a relationship.
Sometimes, fixing the person may be a good idea to have healthy relationship.
However, sometimes ending the relationship itself is the best thing you can do.
If you are wondering how, please follow these steps.
#1 - Diagnosing the relationship
Toxic relationship that should be ended deals with bad friends.
Friends who put you down in various situation, friends who always envy of your achievement,
friends who want to transform you, and friends who take more than giving are signals of bad
friendship that should be ended.
If it is your lifetime partner, that should be ended soon because it may affect your life
in the long run too.
#2 - Recognizing your role in a relationship
Sometimes, relationship becomes toxic from your perspective, because you don't know
your role.
It is important to recognize your role before you can decide whether you are being abused
or not.
You also need to know that your role in a relationship can be either a partner or a
friend or an object.
Be careful if you are the later.
#3 - Start creating boundary
If you are sure that the relationship should end, you should start making boundaries.
Creating boundaries is not easy, and it is painful and hurting at the same time.
However, you should stick to it.
Draw obvious line, and you'll have to be consistent about it.
This keeps you from being humiliated and abused.
#4 - You cannot change people
This actually means, you should not even try to change your friend or your partner with
the hope that the relationship will get better.
It will not.
The condition will remain because people have different level of empathy, care, attention,
intelligence, and many other personal values.
When it comes to toxic people, they surely will not change themselves easily because
they even don't know the right things.
#5 - Getting second opinion
This one is important because you will realize that your relationship may survive or not.
However, most people will say no because they love you and they do not want you to suffer
more.
You can even ask for professional help to get the most accurate advice.
However, you should stick to it because it is all about your life.
#6 - You teach people how to treat you
The next thing that you should consider is basically putting yourself in how you want
it to look.
Too many people are busy for pleasing others by lending money, renting stuffs, and obey
other's command.
However, those things make relationship poor because there is a power gap in your relationship.
Well, that's some tips on how to end a bad relationship.
So, what do you think about this?

Millennials Don't Know This Thing About Owning A Home // Today's Mortgage News - Growella - Duration: 2:36.
It's Wednesday my dudes!
Hello and welcome from the Growella Mortgage Studios.
I'm Dan on your inside team at Growella and this is today's Mortgage Minute-and-a-Half.
Everything you believe is a lie.
Kind of.
At least, when it comes to mortgages and your down payment.
A recent poll of more than three thousand U.S. consumers shows renters struggling to
understand what it takes to get mortgage-approved, and because of it, many are opting to renew
their leases instead of buying those homes they'd rather be owning.
The survey is from Ellie Mae and on the question "What's stopping you from buying a home?"
fifty-three percent of Millennials said "I haven't saved enough for a down payment."
People.
You're killing me.
You don't need twenty percent to buy a home.
You haven't since 1934, when the FHA was formed.
And, for the last five years, there have been subsidized mortgage programs to promote homeownership,
low rates, and a way for renters to stop leasing where they live.
Can you buy a house?
Yes you can.
Or, maybe you can.
But you can't know until you ask.
So, get with your lender and see what's possible.
Go on.
Go.
Scott get the minivan.
Mortgage rates are down today across the board.
Conforming loans, FHA loans, VA loans and USDA -- everything's down this Wednesday and
that's good news for today's buyers of homes.
With lower rates comes lower payments, and that makes the Buy versus Rent decision a
little simpler.
Your actual rate quote will vary based your loan size, your credit score, and where you
live; and your lender makes a difference, too.
Talk to two or more lenders at least before making a decision and get the mortgage loan
and rate that work best for you.
There's been an unexpected slowdown in New Home Sales.
According to U.S. Census Bureau data, the number of newly-built homes going into contract
dropped eight percent this past January on a month-to-month basis, and the number of
new construction homes for sale topped three hundred thousand for first time since 2009.
However, because the government's sample size on its New Home Sales report is small, we
can't always assign an abundance of confidence to its data.
And, in reading the footnotes of this month's report, the Census Bureau notes a statistical
margin of error of nineteen percent, which means that New Home Sales may have actually
increased by a lot.
So, maybe a better take on the new home market is the Home Builder Confidence report published
once monthly, which just put up its best reading for a February since ever.
The data only tells part of the story.
Get with a local pro to find out what's happening on the street.

'Lazy' Husband Watches As Wife Mows Lawn. Then Neighbor Learns Truth, Breaks Down In Tears - Duration: 2:40.
'Lazy' Husband Watches As Wife Mows Lawn.
Then Neighbor Learns Truth, Breaks Down In Tears
When some people drove by this quiet neighborhood in Lincoln County, Missouri, and noticed a
woman mowing the lawn while her husband watched, they may have been tempted to judge this man.
What kind of lazy husband would force his wife to labor in the yard while he just watched?
But those people don't know the whole story.
Adam Bosler snapped a picture of the couple and shared it on Facebook, and the story he
wrote to go with the photo is one of the sweetest I've heard in a while.
You see, the couple is Ryan and Jessica Armistead, friends of Adam's.
What you can't tell from the picture is that Ryan is sick.
As he patiently waits for a kidney transplant that he desperately needs, he goes to dialysis
three times a week.
Most people would understand if Ryan just wanted to relax and take it easy, but Adam
writes that the police officer and active member of his community "strives STILL to
be what every man should be."
That day Ryan had gone outside to mow the lawn.
He was exhausted but determined to keep going.
However, when Jessica noticed that he was not doing well, she rushed to change her clothes
and went out to relieve him.
Ryan wasn't about to let her take over his job without a fight.
Even though he handed over the mower, he insisted on walking beside Jessica as she made her
way back and forth across the lawn.
"I think every husband and wife, boyfriend and girlfriend could really learn from this,"
Adam wrote.
"No matter what, they're side by side, helping one another and never leaving the
other one behind.
If there's anything I can learn from these good friends, it's the loyalty they put
forth together."
Thousands of people have been touched by the love and loyalty displayed by the Armisteads
and many have written to Adam asking how they can help.
He decided to set up a YouCaring page to raise money to purchase a riding lawnmower for the
hardworking couple.
"THIS IS NOT A REQUEST from the Armisteads," Adam noted.
"Theyre actually sleeping at the moment and have no clue 😂😂 I'll deal with
them tomorrow 😂😂. This is a very hard working family and simply a request from people
wanting an opportunity to do something nice for such an amazing family."
They certainly deserve it!
Will you join us in keeping this sweet couple in your thoughts and prayers?
So share this!

5 Failed & Abandoned Eisner-Era Disney Ideas - Duration: 7:24.
One aspect of Michael Eisner I admire when it comes to his time as Disney CEO was his
insistence on brainstorming from all levels of the company. He felt that it was important
to foster an environment where people weren't afraid to voice their ideas, so that the good
ones could float to the top among all the bad ones.
From that ethic came some ideas that changed the Disney company forever and are still with
us today.
There were also some pretty bad ideas.
Some of these made it as far as testing stages and some design.
Some were shot down while they were still ideas.
Here are five failed ideas from the Eisner Era.
Number 5: Rentable boats in the World Showcase Lagoon
According to both Eisner and investor Sid Bass, during an afternoon at EPCOT together
while walking around the park and talking business, Eisner realized that there was nothing
going on in the World Showcase Lagoon.
As Bass tells the story, Eisner found a board and marker and made a sign that said "Boat
Rentals", and within the hour the lagoon was filled with kids in boats.
If that sounds whimsical, it's because it probably is.
As Eisner later tells it, it wasn't that simple.
Disney did run tests of a boat rental program in Epcot, however it never left the testing
stage as they soon learned that the testers struggled with boats due to the wake bouncing
off the walls of the lagoon and roughing up the waters.
On the subject he said "Our people who were testing were all capsizing and getting sick."
and that "Not all my ideas are practical.
For every idea I have that we go forward with, ten others people yell me down on."
Number 4: Disney branded fast food
In 1990 during the rise of the Disney store, as they were expanding from 41 to over 120
locations across the country, Disney decided it was time to get into the fast food business.
The idea was called Mickey's Kitchen and the first one opened in April of that year
at their Montclair Plaza Disney Store in California.
The idea was to offer a healthy fast food alternative with the Disney brand attached
to it, and the initial test locations existed within Disney stores themselves as extensions.
The menu offered up dishes such as "Salads in Wonderland", meatless "Mickey Burgers"
and "Bibbity Bobbedy Beverages".
The test lasted for two years and expanded to a second location, but by March of 1992
both were shut down due to poor performance.
As consumer products division spokesman Chuck Champlin put it, Disney "barely broke even
with Mickey's Kitchen."
Number 3: Disney Cars.
No, not the Pixar film.
Actual Disney cars.
Some of the ideas that Eisner introduced to the company were inspired by his personal
experience with his family in one way or another.
As the story goes, Splash Mountain was ultimately built because it was his oldest son Breck
who saw a model of the ride during a tour of Imagineering and singled it out as something
teenagers would like.
When it came time for Breck to start driving, Eisner floated the idea of an actual Disney car.
He thought it would be wonderful for Disney to be known as the safest car on the roads.
The idea included co-designing the car with General Motors, who was currently sponsoring
World of Motion over in Epcot.
The car would, among being the safest, offer fenders and roofs that could easily be swapped
out for different designs, making them more customizable.
The idea got as far a focus testing through Disney's outsourced PR firm, Young and Rubicam.
As it turns out, according to Young and Rubicam's Steve Rose, when people think of a Disney
car, they imagine Goofy on the hood and a Mickey Mouse steering wheel.
It was an idea nobody wanted.
With that data at hand, Eisner shelved the concept.
Number 2: The year long wedding of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
Eisner often hosted weekly meetings in which division heads throughout the company would
not only update each other on their part of the business, but explore new ideas.
As the story goes, one of those Monday lunches started off with Eisner telling the group
that "Today we're going to talk about whether Mickey and Minnie should get married."
The concept was to not only have Mickey and Minnie get married, but to make a year long
event out of it.
The idea was that Mickey and Minnie would get engaged on Valentine's Day, get a ring
in April at Tiffany & Co (surely a sponsorship opportunity), and finally get married in June
during the height of the Disney vacationing season and during a televised special.
Lastly the two would honeymoon in Paris, not too far off from the relatively new EuroDisney.
It was packed with all of the tie-ins and synergy that Eisner was known for.
However ultimately the idea of Mickey and Minnie getting married, and all the implications
and complications that came with it, were just too radical for many at the company,
and the idea was shot down.
Number 1: The Mickey Mouse hotel, a 43-story towering, inhabitable monument to the mouse himself.
During their second week as CEO and COO of The Walt Disney Company, Michael Eisner and
Frank Wells got to work on developing a new plan for the Walt Disney Studios lot over
in Burbank.
One idea that made it on the list was putting a hotel along Riverside Drive.
Eisner and Wells met with legendary Imagineer Marty Sklar and Disney's in-house Harvard
trained architect, Wing Chao and that's when Eisner proposed his idea for the hotel.
He said "Let's make this a Mickey Mouse hotel."
Sklar replied "You mean the name, the Mickey Mouse Hotel?"
"No" said Eisner.
"Make it in the shape of Mickey, with rooms in the legs.
The idea was to build a 43-story version of Mickey Mouse that would stand upright and
with a leg on each side of the drive, straddling the street.
It was such a bizarre idea that as first nobody was sure if he was even being serious.
There was some lively debate over the practicality of such an idea, but it was finally Chao who
put the idea to rest by raising the question as to where the elevators for the hotel would go.
The idea didn't last long at all, but it remained as a story that exemplified Eisner's style.
He was dedicated to creating a space in which nobody would be afraid to pitch an idea, no
matter how ridiculous or unrealistic.
Eisner later claimed in his biography that he knew the idea was going too far, but that
it was suggested to stress the importance of theatricality and innovation and to encourage
his team to suggest the impossible and as a result come up with new ideas.
As history has shown, not all fans agree on which ideas during his time as CEO were good
and which were bad, but I think one thing most people can agree on was that if nothing
else, most of them were… interesting.
Now I want to throw a question to you.
Out of these five ideas that never really came to fruition, which one would you most
want to see brought to reality today?
Let me know in the comments below.
Thank you for watching, and I'll see you next time!

"Can't feel your feet" - Bayern's Vidal fired up despite icy chill - Duration: 1:48.
The last training session at the Säbener Straße in February;
and the first in the extended break between last Saturday's Hertha clash and the trip to Freiburg on Sunday evening.
The only absentees were Manuel Neuer, Kingsley Coman and James, who once again
reported to the performance centre for sports rehab drills.
The players had plenty to discuss following their long weekend,
including the big freeze that currently has Germany in its grip:
It's crazy!
Training is tough and it's hard to get warm.
You can't feel your feet.
It's all a bit harder than normal, but that's the way it is.
We have to give it everything so that we're at 100% on the pitch.
Fortunately, and unlike in matches, I can at least
keep most of my body and even my face covered in training.
However, the worst of the extreme cold appears to be over
as the temperatures are set to rise daily from now on.
On Sunday, when the Reds face Freiburg, the forecast is for ten degrees Celsius
– 10 degrees above freezing no less.
Wednesday was also an extra-special occasion for one of the players who completed the hour and three quarter session:
Happy 28th birthday, Sebastian Rudy.
And legendary former FCB keeper and goalkeeping coach Sepp Maier is also a birthday boy today.
The Cat from Anzing turns 74,

Nightcore - Ecstasy - Duration: 2:49.
I love you in LA
I don't know how you did it
You stole my heart that night
You know just what to say
To make me weak in my knees
But I'll be fine
Yeah I'm growing, growing up with you
We're rolling, rolling down the hill
And I'm falling, falling hard for you
Baby, you're my ecstasy
Only you can give me feels
These drugs, they ain't enough
These drugs, they ain't enough
They ain't, baby
Only you can give me feels
These drugs, they ain't enough These drugs, they ain't enough
They ain't, baby
These drugs, they ain't enough
They ain't, baby
I hate you in LA
I took too many drinks
You'll never see me cry
I'm gonna walk away
You got me poppin' these pills But I'll be fine
Yeah I'm growing, growing up with you We're rolling, rolling down the hill
And I'm falling, falling hard for you Baby, you're my ecstasy
Only you can give me feels These drugs, they ain't enough
These drugs, they ain't enough They ain't, baby
Only you can give me feels These drugs, they ain't enough
These drugs, they ain't enough They ain't, baby
These drugs, they ain't enough
They ain't, baby
Only you can give me feels These drugs, they ain't enough
These drugs, they ain't enough They ain't, baby
Only you can give me feels These drugs, they ain't enough
These drugs, they ain't enough They ain't, baby
Ecstasy You're my ecstasy
