There are many changes in pregnant women’s body and before pregnancy, but because these may affect the normal development of fetus, or may be related to pregnant women’s body, we must pay special attention, even if only the taste inside the mouth changes, so is it diabetes for pregnant women?
Although diabetes during pregnancy may lead to bitter mouth, it does not mean that the bitter mouth during pregnancy must be diabetes, but it may also be caused by other reasons. So what causes pregnant women to have bitter mouths?
First, it is caused by excessive pressure. During pregnancy, because of physical changes or inexperience, some women will exert great psychological pressure on themselves, which will probably affect their health and lead to mental bitter mouth. Although this is not a disease, it cannot be ignored because it may affect appetite, lead to insufficient nutrition intake and affect the development of fetus.
Second, the body is hot and humid, and there will be bitter mouth. If there is inflammation in the liver and gallbladder, abnormal bile excretion will lead to bitter taste in the mouth. In addition, the poor digestion ability of the stomach will also cause bile reflux, resulting in bitter mouth.
Besides, some bad habits, such as smoking and drinking, will make your mouth bitter. However, because the bitter mouth of pregnant women will be special, it is recommended to check whether there is gestational diabetes.Below are some “musings” that this author had penned a few years ago, and recently came upon, in reference to the shoemaker Berluti:
“Why is it that women can get away with pining over a meticulously hand-selected and hand-finished piece of artisan craftsmanship to envelop their pretty little feet, but not men?
Well one reason is that on the whole, cobblers and shoe makers have a nasty habit of creating prettier things for the “fairer” sex. Enter into your vocabulary the world B-E-R-L-U-T-I.
A Parisian brand of Italian descent, and name, as any Frenchman will surely point out; Berluti stands at the pinnacle of shoe and boot manufacturing for men, as well as the production of extremely limited quantities of leather goods which compliment their exotic footwear. Known for its unique leather finishing, any man that approaches you wearing a pair of these hard to come by ‘little treasures’ will immediately have your attention.
For people in the know, the style, leathers as well as sole patterns of Berluti footwear make them stand out, even from the finest competitors. While other brands such as Gucci, Ferragamo, and Hermes turn out exceptional footwear, there is something comforting, literally and figuratively, about a company that makes its mark creating one primary product, and creating it in a way that trumps all others.
Sure the price tag might be a little hefty, but with the polishing and finishing services that Berluti boutiques provide for the lifetime of your purchase, these shoes will be passed down to your first, second, or even third born son, assuming his feet don’t outgrow yours.”
A few short years on, all of this continues to hold true, with the possible exception of the line regarding Berluti as making “one primary product.” A nice segue into the introduction of the new Berluti Store, or “Maison,” recently opened some blocks south of their former home on Madison Avenue, and interestingly much closer to some of their “rival” brands.
With the hiring of Alessandro Sartori, formerly in charge of the Z Zegna line, Berluti dove into the world of ready-to-wear feet first (pun only somewhat intended here). The new store is a showcase to this slight change in direction, featuring multiple floors, one of which has a dedicated area to bespoke tailoring and shoemaking, while at the same time holding true to the Berluti credo and methodology. Think gentleman’s club meets old world haberdashery, with maybe even a library feel thrown in for good measure.
The new Berluti home features the ready-to-wear line, as well as overcoats, blazers, and a line of their now famous(ly) unique leather goods. One might even refer to the establishment as a kind of “candy store for dandies.”
One thing does stay the same however, the exclusive feel of the products and most certainly the price tag. These surely are one-off pieces that you are perusing, and priced accordingly. But perhaps that is why the word “aspiration” is the basis for the idea of aspirational.
The new store is open now:

Mostly though, I think there’s a certain emotional security and confidence you gain from seeing your family members do the job you hope to do as well. I will be the first person in my family to ever work in an office… the whole thing feels just very foreign to me, and it took a lot of confidence to try something I’ve never seen anyone close to me do. In comparison, it wouldn’t feel uneasy about farming or becoming a teacher. That comfort is valuable and enables you to take risks that others with less self-assurance might forgo.I have read some of your posts also and have not seen the administrators take action against you.
Fornitian administrators have beef with me?
Action against me for what?
Am I allowed to recount and testify to the truth ( vis a vis my experience )?

Has this nugget of an article (circa 2000) been posted here before?
When asked to discuss whether Syanon impacted The Education of Mark Hughes, Mel Wasserman replies that, in addition to Synanon techniques, he also used his own experiences in conventional therapy to mold his program. He also says that he was not a fan of Dederich, whose sessions could get brutal and assaultive. He was aiming for something warmer: "There was a lot of conflict between me and some of the people I hired from Synanon. They wanted to redo Synanon. I didn't want a place where we had so much power that people would pee in their pants when you walked by. Synanon was fear-based. Our work was feeling-based."
One aspect of CEDU that was reminiscent of Synanon that was reminiscent of Synanon was the school's money-making acumen. By the early seventies, Synanon had recycled its trippy, quasi-spiritual rehab techniques into a very successful fund-raising program. Synanon molded its members into an army of fund-raisers-called "hustlers" at the time-who went door to door from corporation to corporation, persuading people to hand over money to help keep addicts off the streets. In this spooky, sometimes scary period of revolution, such a project seemed pretty attractive to corporate squares, who shelled out big bucks. CEDU's students were encouraged to open their minds to letting the cash flow. "Wasserman was trying to develop what we had in Synanon-a hustling system where we would send out our own people to heads of companies and ask for money," says D.D. Harvey, a Presbyterian minister and former long-time Synanon member. It was this fund-raising mania that launched Mark Hughes.
It's a long article, CEDU and Mel are mentioned late in the piece. 
Come one Come all....
Share thy wealth of dirt.
We’ll fix you.
Come to our bubble.
Come learn the most bizarre, disturbing, unconventional, unsustainable, non accredited, alchemy based method of ‘life skills’.
You’re bad if you resist.

Good luck finding a way making it work in a sane world.
CEDU's culture mandated the lack of autonomy and reason.
This creates a bubble.
This destroys healthy boundaries.
They were like drug dealers - the way they 'hooked' us on their reckless version of LGAT flavored, gestalty, scream therapy.
Raps. They forced us to participate in mindufuckery guised as therapy.
They told us we were bad if we rejected their horseshit.

Seriously, it's Allah's will.
Unfortunately, I'm more realist than I am
