‘The nurse told me I couldn’t keep my baby’: how a controversial Danish ‘parenting test’ separated a Greenlandic woman from her children

Two hours after Keira Alexandra Kronvold gave birth, her daughter was taken from her – the third child to be removed from her care following a now-banned assessment that disproportionately targets Inuit women in Denmark.

Porcelain vs. Ceramic: The Best Tile for Your Luxury Project


 Both are often pitched as premium bathroom tiles, sitting side by side in stores, but they're not the same. Choosing the right one is key for spaces that need to impress and last.

Tackling a bathroom renovation, a kitchen upgrade, or a flooring refresh? You're likely after tiles that look sleek, feel high-end, and stand up to daily use. That's where luxury bathroom tiles come in.

The question everyone faces: Porcelain or ceramic? Both are often pitched as premium bathroom tiles, sitting side by side in stores, but they're not the same. Choosing the right one is key for spaces that need to impress and last.

Here's the no-frills breakdown to help you decide.

What Sets Them Apart?


Porcelain is a type of ceramic, but it's denser, fired at higher temperatures, and less absorbent. This makes it tougher, more resistant to cracks, and better suited for demanding conditions. Ceramic is lighter, easier to work with, and typically more budget-friendly.

Think of porcelain as ceramic's sturdier, more elegant sibling.

Porcelain's Edge in Luxury


For high-end spaces, porcelain often takes the win. It's built for durability, making it ideal for premium bathroom tiles or high-traffic floors. You'll see it in luxury homes, upscale hotels, or custom-designed offices. It handles radiant heating, heavy foot traffic, and even outdoor settings effortlessly.

Porcelain's low water absorption makes it perfect for wet areas like bathrooms or patios. It resists mold, stains, and swelling better than ceramic. Plus, it can mimic high-end materials like marble or stone with less maintenance.

Where Ceramic Shines


Ceramic isn't second-rate—it's just better for specific uses. It's great for walls, backsplashes, or low-traffic areas. It's easier to cut, install, and more affordable.

But for luxury bathroom tiles or busy floors? Ceramic might not deliver the durability or premium vibe you're aiming for.

Style and Feel


Both porcelain and ceramic offer endless styles—matte, glossy, textured, or patterned. You can find premium bathroom tiles in either category. But porcelain has a solid, weighty feel that elevates a space. It's like the difference between a good chair and one that feels crafted—one just feels more luxurious.

The Cost Factor


Porcelain costs more upfront. That's the reality. But its longevity and low maintenance can save you money over time, with fewer repairs or replacements needed.

On a tight budget? Ceramic works well for walls or less demanding spaces. But for a luxury space, cutting corners on materials can hurt the final result.

Why Your Tiles Supplier Matters


Tile quality varies widely. A reliable tiles supplier will guide you to premium bathroom tiles that fit your project. They'll share details on the tile's origins, durability, and performance—not just push a sale.

Shopping online? Check reviews thoroughly. In a showroom? Ask about quality and suitability. A good tiles supplier ensures you get tiles that look great and last.

The Bottom Line


For high-end, high-use areas, porcelain is the smarter pick. It's tougher, more elegant, and perfect for luxury bathroom tiles. Ceramic is fine for walls or secondary spaces but doesn't match porcelain's durability or upscale feel.

Start with a trusted tiles supplier to find the right tiles. It's about creating a space that's as durable as it is stunning.

#ChrisHedges | Gaza’s Hunger Games

"The blockade of food and humanitarian aid, imposed on Gaza since March 2, is reducing Palestinians to abject dependence. To eat, they must crawl towards their killers and beg. Humiliated, terrified, desperate for a few scraps of food, they are stripped of dignity, autonomy and agency. This is by intent."

Moritz #Bleibtreu: “Unsere nationale #Identität ist kaputt”


tichyseinblick.de/kolumnen/ale…

Schauspieler Moritz Bleibtreu ist neuerdings auch als Regisseur tätig. Als Schauspieler zählt er zweifellos zu den Besten, die wir in #Deutschland haben. Um nur eine herausragende Leistung zu benennen, sei seine Darstellung des Bruno #Klement in Oskar #Roehlers Verfilmung aus dem Jahr 2006 des Weltbestsellers „Elementarteilchen“ von Michel #Houellebecq erwähnt. Was für eine Zusammenarbeit mit Bernd #Eichinger und Oliver #Berben als Produzenten und Corinna #Harfouch sowie weiteren hochkarätigen deutschem Personal auf der Besetzungsliste. Die Frankfurter Allgemeine nannte den Film damals zwar eine „kleine lebenszeitvernichtende Ewigkeit“, andere aber schauen #Elementarteilchen heute schon wie einen #Kultfilm in Widerholungsschleife. So verhält sich eben bisweilen die Diskrepanz zwischen Filmkritik und Filmpublikum. Zwischen Geschmack und Gefallen.

[…]
Zunächst einmal bezieht Moritz Bleibtreu seine überraschende Kritik auf die Situatin des deutschen Films. Der wäre am Boden, weil die Deutschen ihre nationale Identität verloren hätten. So hätte es der deutsche Film beispielsweise verlernt, von Heldenfiguren zu erzählen, mit denen sich der Zuschauer identifizieren könnte. Interessant dürfte hier sein, inwieweit Bleibtreu erst im Rahmen seiner eigenen Regiearbeit erahren musste, was gerade auch in der Filmförderung, auf die fast jeder neue deutsche Film angewiesen ist, wie da mittlerweile schon verbindliche Diversity-Checklisten #Grundbedingung für den Antrag von #Fördergeldern sind.
Und wenn der alte weiße heterosexuelle deutsche Bleibtreu in seinem Regiedebüt auch gleich die Hauptrolle spielt neben der deutschen weißen Nadja Uhl, dann kann es eben eng werden für #Fördergelder – aber das bleiben #Mutmaßungen.
Moritz Bleibtreu möchte von diesem „blöden Minderwertigkeitskomplex“ der Deutschen wegkommen. Das wäre aber auf „absehbare Zeit“ kaum zu schaffen, angesichts besagter „kaputter nationale® Identität“ sei das leider nicht möglich, sagte er in einem kurzen Interview mit der Nachrichtenagentur Teleschau. Jetzt ist die Vita von Bleibtreu alles andere als geprägt von einer Suche nach einer deutschen Identität. Seine Filmografie erzählt bisweilen eher das Gegenteil als einen künstlerischen Blick in die deutsche Seele – wie auch immer. Jedenfalls dann, so man davon ausgeht, Bleibtreu verstehe unter „nationaler Identität“ das Gleiche wie mutmaßlich die Mehrheit der Deutschen. Diese Mehrheit allerdings ist aktuell zunächst unter dem Eindruck einer jahrelangen Massenmigration und zuletzt den Corona-Maßnahmenpaket der Regierung nachhaltig verstört.

IMO, it turns out that there is only one issue in the world,
the JQ.

Dont like blacks, you would never have to see blacks,
except for the jew bringing them around.

Dont like poverty, you would be able to earn your fair share,
without being robbed of it, without the jew around.
Dont like world wars?

It turns out that EVERY problem in the world,
can be explained, by SIMPLY NOTICING THE JEW!

I wish they had told me that in the first place.
Day one!

Whaaa,
Spank,
its all a jew problem!

Batteries are so cheap, solar doesn’t sleep. Thanks to plummeting prices, analysts say that solar plus batteries can now provide round-the-clock power in the sunniest parts of the world, undercutting fossil gas and reshaping grid planning. Cities like Muscat, Oman, and Las Vegas can already hit that steady power mark for up to 99% of the hours in a year, while Hyderabad, Madrid, and Buenos Aires can get 80-95% of the way there using the same setup.

Michael Hastings uncovered the early build‑out of U.S. metadata surveillance and classified intelligence operations by showing how NSA and allied agencies harvested billions of phone records, email headers and internet communications under secret court orders and classified directives that bypassed traditional warrants. He traced how the Patriot Act and subsequent statutes fused counterterrorism, foreign intelligence gathering and domestic law enforcement into a pervasive monitoring apparatus, laying groundwork for public debate long before Snowden’s 2013–14 disclosures. On June 18, 2013 Hastings died in a high‑speed, single‑vehicle crash in Los Angeles after voicing fears of being followed. The crash’s extreme violence, total destruction of his car and anomalies in the forensic data fueled suspicions of electronic tampering. No official inquiry found foul play, yet many journalists and investigators believe his exposés of sensitive military and intelligence programs may have played a role. Vault 7 leaks in 2017 revealed that by October 2014 the CIA’s Embedded Devices Branch had engineered malware and firmware backdoors targeting vehicle control systems—capable of covertly manipulating brakes, steering and engine management—demonstrating that intelligence agencies had the tools to weaponize modern automobiles.

"While the state weaponizes compliance, we must weaponize freedom"
"Only “permitted payment stablecoin issuers” may operate,
activistpost.com/the-senate-ju… and those issuers must comply with extensive oversight under the Bank Secrecy Act, including KYC, AML, and sanctions enforcement.

In other words: no privacy, no independence, and no dissent.

The Act even instructs the Treasury Department to evaluate new financial surveillance tech, including AI-powered monitoring systems and blockchain analysis tools. These technologies, we’re told, will help “assess privacy risks” —as if privacy itself is the threat.

Let’s be honest about what this really is: a nationalized control grid disguised as modernization.
