hat would summer be without days spent frolicking at the lake or afternoons spent splashing in the pool? Fun in the water makes hot days more enjoyable and bearable, and few summertime activities do not involve water play in one aspect or another. Although time spent in the water can be refreshing and entertaining, water does present certain hazards, particularly for those who do not know how to swim. Learning to swim, especially at a
young age, is advisable and a great way to remain safe around the water. The World Health Organization says drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional injury death across the globe, accounting for 7 percent of all injury-related deaths. Children, males and individuals with increased access to water are most at risk of drowning. In general, children under five years of age have the highest drowning mortality rates in the world, though adult males

strategies for lasting weight control
ext to not smoking, keeping your weight at a healthy level is one of the most powerful strategies for living a long, healthy and productive life. While genetics are important, for most people it takes work to maintain that healthy weight. Here are 10 strategies for helping Dr. Jack Rutherford you take charge of your weight control efforts. Exercise often Exercise on most, if not all, days of the week. Even if it's just a walking the dog around the neighborhood, the value of exercise to weight control is essential. Movement forces the body to use its metabolic hormone insulin in a way that promotes fat loss. But regular physical activity does so much more for your health. It burns belly fat (the kind that is harmful to your
cardiovascular health). Exercise also boosts muscle mass and metabolism. And it releases stress. Strive for at least 30 minutes a day, more if you have time. Eat energy food Fill up on the energy food – fiber. Dietary fiber is the body's secret weapon for weight and appetite control. Fiber fills you up with healthy nutrients without filling you out. Because of their high water content and low caloric count, fruits and vegetables in particular, will provide the bulk that aids in appetite control. Foods with fiber also slow down the release of glucose from the GI tract into the blood stream, resulting in a lower glycemic response. Cut down on the "Great White Hazards." Avoiding white flour products, white rice, white potatoes
June 2014 Health Beat 5
and other sugary foods are critical to your success. These "high glycemic index" carbs rapidly raise blood sugar levels and insulin, resulting in fat storage and a larger appetite. Don't drink sugar Cut out sugary beverages. Say goodbye to those calorie-laden drinks – soda, fruit drinks, sweet tea, flavored coffees, etc. Making this change in your diet can be one of the fastest ways to a slimmer waistline. Restrict fructose Found in most sweet foods and beverages, the simple sugar fructose promotes fat storage in the body and doesn't quell the appetite like other calorie forms. Moreover, fructose-rich foods promote insulin resistance, which can lead to obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, and fatty liver disease. Eat protein often Consume Mother Nature's diet pill – protein. Ample protein provides appetite control and helps protect against the loss of muscle mass that typically occurs during periods of weight loss. Strive to get some protein at every meal, at least 20 grams or so. But don't fall victim to the "more is better" theory. The body needs a certain amount of daily protein but more than that is just eliminated. Protein powders, bars, and shakes are unnecessary and expensive. Cut out junk food Those highly palatable foods, loaded with fat and/or sugar, taste good but hijack the normal appetite regulatory process. The more you eat them, the more you want them, and the more difficult it is to resist eating them. The worst offenders include sweet foods – ice cream, milkshakes, donuts, cakes, cookies and other pastries, and fast foods like burgers, fries, pizza, etc. For best results, get rid of them or at least cut back to eating them once in a while. Get enough sunlight This one seems a little off the wall, but in a fascinating new study, researchers have found a consistent relationship between exposure to bright, natural light (particularly sunlight) in the early part of the day and a lower body weight. More research is needed on this, but it seems that light exposure has an effect on appetite regulation and metabo-
lism. Another good reason to get outside a couple of times a day and walk in sunshine. Drink water Water is the body's natural detoxer. Without it, the liver and kidneys do not function to capacity and the cells store fat as a result. Aim for at least eight glasses a day. The color of your urine can be a good barometer of your hydration level. If it looks like lemonade or a lighter color, you're probably well hydrated. If it's more like apple juice or darker, it's time to drink more water. Get enough sleep Optimal amounts of sleep are essential to weight control. Not getting enough sleep will sabotage your efforts to lose weight by increasing appetite, promoting insulin resistance, lowering motivation and self-control and reducing energy to work out. Most people need at least seven hours a night, some need more.

Safety TIPS for kids I
Master Will Schneider
n this column, I'm going to discuss some common safety tips for kids from Tom Patire's Know & Go program. I was once a master instructor for this course, and I think all kids can benefit from some of the tips in his book, "Personal Protection Handbook."
First case: Broken glass If your child hears broken glass at home, teach him or her to stop, look around for the broken glass and call for help. Instruct your child to not go near the glass or touch anything until a teen or adult arrives. Second case: Sound of screeching tires People commonly slam on their brakes possibly to avoid an accident or even because of one. You'll want to teach your child to move away from a road or curve at least 5 feet away from the sound. Of course, teach kids to never play near a street. Third case: Panic stricken crowd Many times crowds can get out of hand or become scared because of a loud sound or even worse. Kids can be trampled or stomped by crowds rushing to get out of a room, arena, stadium, etc. The best thing for kids to do in such a situation is to find a strong permanent object to grab onto. This could be a pillar, bolted down chairs, anything permanent, to hold onto until the crowd calms down or leaves. Parents, if you have your child and are fighting through a
crowd, keep him or her tight to your chest and protect their neck with your other arm. Fourth case: Smoke detector alarm Breathing in smoke is just as dangerous as a fire, possibly worse because it can cause dizziness and difficulty in breathing before the fire actually attacks. Kids should be taught to get down on the ground, crawl to the nearest door or window and then tell parents where they are in the room and what object they are nearest. Lastly 911 safety Parents, you'll want to teach your kids to dial 911 only when there is a real emergency. When the operator answers, instruct your child to stay as calm as possible and do the following: • Tell their full name • Tell their full address • Tell exactly what help is needed • Leave phone on so the call can be traced. Bonus Parents, it helps to have kids do this drill while stressed or after running around to simulate a real event and the feelings that go with it. Many more columns on Kid Safety and Bully Proofing are coming. Feel free to contact me anytime.

Context and your cognitive style A
merican psychologist Herman Witkin in 1962 proposed an interesting model for how people think. It's been subjected to all kinds of research and criticism over the past half century, of course. I find it gives a useful continuum for people that dovetails Thomas W. well with my own professional experiThornberry, M.A. ence. Witkin suggested that some of us think in a context-independent way, and others in a dependent way. What does this mean? Context-independent thinkers (CITs) can figure out problems that have only a limited number of solutions. They're able to tune out real world "noise" that isn't relevant to the problem at hand, and focus only on the solutions possible within the situation. These folks are good at math, Sudoku, number puzzles and computer programming. Each of those domains is basically self-contained. All the information you need to figure them out is given to you up front. You just need the ability to shuffle it around or arrange it in your head. No outside experience is necessary. For that reason, context-independent thinkers tend to shine early in life. They're the "math brains," the "computer whizzes," the precocious kids who outperform even many of the adults in their lives as early as grade school. By contrast, context-dependent thinkers (CDTs) tend to come into their abilities a little later in life. That is because, unlike their precocious peers, they must draw on their own life experiences, study how others approach the problem and make conclusions for what has worked in the past. You need to have a past before you can draw on it. Rather than excel at "air tight" problems, with preexisting strategies and limited solutions, CDTs do better with figuring out "open ended" problems, where solutions have to be assembled by building relationships with others, exploring resources and often stitching together combinations of strategies based on best judgement. CDTs are more comfortable with ambiguity, because the
"messy" situations in which they excel simply don't have clean, ready-made solutions waiting to be uncovered by a discerning intellect. If CITs excel at space, time and numbers, CDTs are better with literature, history or social science. Problems in these areas can't be separated from the contexts of culture, human nature and past experience. Each type has benefits and drawbacks. CITs, for example, are more likely to jump from one problem to the next. They are passionate and invested in solving problems, often working long hours and neglecting food or sleep to find an answer. Because their abilities mature quickly, however, they tend to use up challenges fast and want to move on to the next challenge immediately. Because they peak quickly, they have fewer chances to learn frustration tolerance. One of the biggest challenges they may face is that of boredom. They struggle with sustaining effort and focus on activities that aren't always fascinating or that have necessary 'slog' elements that have to be endured. This inability so sustain interest means they may accomplish less on longer-term projects than their relevant talents would suggest. CDTs, on the other hand, must contend with the frustrations and setbacks that come of late-maturing capabilities. Have you had the experience, for example, of struggling with school work, and despite your best efforts, you squeak by with a barely sufficient grade, while a classmate or sibling who "never cracked a book" seemed to always get high marks? Enduring and persevering against this constant uphill struggle can be quite discouraging at younger ages. One of the biggest challenges CDTs may face is that of morale or self-esteem. On the other hand, they will ultimately learn the value of patience better than their CIT counterparts, and can take on long-term projects whose drudge elements must be endured before the rewards are apparent. Of course, I always extend a word of caution with these types of useful typologies, as no one fits into them perfectly. People are complex. But as a model, Witkins' idea may help explain some of the frustrations you've experienced based on which type you most favor.

Power of play in the summer A
Dan Florell, Ph.D., and Praveena Salins, M.D.
fter a long school year, children anxiously await the opportunity to do whatever they want to do in that magical time called summer. Summertime is when life slows down a bit, and there is no homework and fewer scheduled activities. Summer is the perfect
time for play. However, play is often viewed as frivolous and a waste of time. Many well-intentioned parents sign their children up for various camps that can address a range of skill-building activities. These camps and other activities can quickly occupy most of the children's summer.
While camps can help children develop new interests and areas of expertise, play can also provide a range of benefits. Play allows children to learn how to negotiate with others, solve problems and communicate effectively. Everyone can remember time spent with other children growing up, having arguments regarding the rules to a particular game or who was allowed to rescue the princess. These arguments required negotiating a solution that everyone would find acceptable. Such negotiation skills are critical for children to develop so they will have the skills to get along with others when they get older. Sometimes children can get overwhelmed with the various demands and pressures that are put upon them. Play gives them an outlet to express their thoughts and feelings that does not depend on words.
June 2014 Health Beat 9
This can be so effective that psychologists often use play with children in therapy which allows them to resolve some of their issues. With play, children have an outlet to imagine and be creative. Many of the most lucrative professions in the adult world depend on being creative. Parents can help with encouraging imaginative play by getting toys that do not have artificial boundaries. This means toys that don't already have a story written about them that might restrict children's imagination. These toys also don't have the kind of built-in rules that computer games have. Examples of toys that are more conducive to opening children's imagination include egg cartons, blocks, boxes, art supplies, paints, chalk and puppets. Parents can help encourage children's play in a few other ways, particularly during the summer when time is more flexible. The first way to help is to give children the time and opportunity for free play. This may mean cutting back a bit on all of the scheduled activities. It also means providing the material and toys that allow for make-believe play. A second way is to give children room to play. Play is not always quiet, and children should have the opportunity to be loud, laugh and make a mess. The outdoors can be a perfect place for children's play, particularly in the summer. A third way is to let children play both with and without you. When children play alone, it encourages their independence and the ability to make their own decisions. When parents play with their children, it allows parents to get a deeper insight into their world and also enhances the attachment and connection between the two. If parents do play with their children, remember to allow the children to lead. Play is not the time for parents to lead or instruct, it is about providing support and encouragement. As summertime quickly approaches, make some plans to allow children to have time for unstructured play. It provides a range of benefits, including helping children learn how to negotiate, cope with negative events, and to be creative. Did I also mention that play is just fun?

Pregnancy apps track baby, mom's progress By Bree Fowler, AP Technology Writer NEW YORK (AP) — When I became pregnant with my daughter, now 4, I didn't even own a smartphone. I did most of my pregnancy research with my desktop computer and those pregnancy books that nearly every first-time mom reads. Now, baby No. 2 is on the way and times have changed. With the rise of smartphones, tablets and wearable devices, there's no shortage of pregnancy-related high-tech products on the market. I get weekly updates explaining what's going on with my body and my baby's development, which show up as notifications from my various iPhone apps. The first time around, I got emails from pregnancy websites. There are also apps to track how much weight you've gained, how often your baby kicks and eventually how far apart your contractions are. There are even smartphone-enabled devices that let you listen to your baby's heartbeat at home. Like a lot of second-time moms, I didn't feel the need to gorge myself on pregnancy information this time around. But I did download some of the more popular apps. I stuck largely to free apps, though I also tested a $129 fetal heart monitor that attaches to a smartphone. Although the apps don't cover everything an expectant mom needs to know, they offer enough that I've barely dusted off my pregnancy books this time around. BabyBump (free, or $4 for ad-free version with additional features; for Apple and Android devices): Like the other pregnancy apps I tried, you start by entering your due date, weight and other information. The app
creates a chart tracking your progress and showing the number of days left. BabyBump also encourages you to upload a photo of your expanding belly each week to create a time-lapsed series of your growth, but I didn't bother with that. There are daily tips and a weekly update explaining what's going on with your body and baby. You can play slideshows of you and your baby's week-by-week development. These are in the form of drawings showing an expanding belly and what's inside. You can also join online pregnancy groups and use the app to keep a journal. The free version has advertising on the bottom. The $4 pro version doesn't. The pro version also has a kick counter and contraction tracker, along with planning tools for shopping, name selection and birth announcements. I didn't feel the need to pay. WebMD Pregnancy (free, for Apple devices only): I like this app the most. Like the BabyBump app, there's a pregnancy calendar and weekly illustrations showing development. But WebMD's pictures are more vibrant and less cartoonish, though a bit more graphic. There are daily tips and suggested questions to ask your doctor at your next appointment. You can keep track of your doctor's appointments and log your weight and blood pressure. Although I used the app to track how much weight I was gaining, I didn't bother with the blood pressure and found my Google calendar to be more useful in logging appointments.
Richmond Register 11 June 2014 Health Beat 11
The app includes a kick counter and contraction timer for free, whereas I had to pay for those features with BabyBump. I found this app easier and more fun to use than BabyBump. Bellabeat (free app, but heart monitor costs $129; app for Apple and Android devices): At-home fetal heart listening systems aren't new. There are a handful of products of varying prices and quality, but many people have complained that they don't work well and aren't easy to use, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. You plug the Bellabeat heart monitor into your smartphone's headphone port, and then plug a set of earbuds into the device. It runs on two AAA batteries. The companion smartphone app detects the baby's heart rate and lets you record the sound. You can even share the audio clip through Facebook, Twitter or email. Like the devices used by doctors, the Bellabeat uses high-frequency sound waves to pick up the heartbeat. But this isn't nearly as advanced as the one at my doctor's office. I had a mixed experience with it.
The first time I tried the Bellabeat, I was 37-weeks pregnant and pretty huge. I managed to pick up my baby's heartbeat after a few tries. But a few days later, after the baby had moved into a new position, I couldn't seem to find it at all. I just got a lot of whooshing noises from the device. Eventually, I picked up a faint heartbeat. I wasn't worried, but I can see why some doctors don't like these gadgets. They can cause unnecessary distress. You can get the app for free without buying the device, and it gets you a lot of the same tools that WebMD and BabyBump provide. The real question is: Is it worth $129 to hear your baby's heartbeat whenever you like? If you're the kind of new mom who frets when you haven't felt the baby move for a while, the answer might be yes. Personally, I not a big fan of these things. Just like the one at the doctor's office, they involve smearing that sticky ultrasonic-gel on your belly, which I've come to hate. The gel is included with the device.

Your heart rate and what it means A
t your doctor's office, the nurse puts her fingers on your pulse after taking your blood pressure. At the gym, you stop the treadmill now and then to check the carotid artery in your neck. Heart rate is an important measure Tamea Evans, MD of your exercise intensity as well as Baptist Health your overall health. Richmond Primary Care Do you know your resting heart rate and what it means? Do you understand about target heart rates during exercise? In terms of health, recovery heart rate may be the most important of all. Heart rate refers to how many times the heart beats every minute – pumping blood to every cell in the body. The pumping is done by the left lower chamber of the heart, which must be healthy enough to sustain the effort, minute after minute, day after day – about 100,000 beats a day, 37 million beats a year. Resting heart rate refers to the number of beats the heart is making when you're resting. The best time to take your resting heart rate is when you first wake up in the morning, preferably before you get out of bed. Count the beats for a full 60 seconds. The number you get will be a bit higher once you stand up, but that's okay. The most important thing is that you take your pulse the same way every day. It makes sense that a healthy heart is capable of accomplishing its task more efficiently. And studies have found that persons with lower heart rates are not only fitter but tend to live longer. The ideal resting heart rate for an adult is from 60 to 100. Generally, it's best to be at the lower end of the range. If you're just starting an aerobic exercise program, it's a good idea to take your resting heart rate every morning and
track the trend. You can expect a steady drop over the first six to eight weeks. That means that you are getting fitter, with a more efficient and healthy cardiovascular system. If your resting heart rate suddenly goes up 10 or 15 beats some morning without explanation, it may be a sign that you are training too hard and would benefit from a rest. When you're working out, you may notice your heart beating faster; that's normal. The goal of aerobic exercise is to raise your heart rate and keep it there for an extended period. For maximum benefit, most trainers recommend a target heart rate of 65 to 85 percent of maximum heart rate. As a rule of thumb, maximum heart rate can be determined by subtracting your age from 220 if you are a male or 226 if you are a female. In other words, a 40-year-old female has a maximum heart rate of 186 and should work out at an intensity between 121 (65 percent) and 158 (85 percent) beats per minute. A heart rate of 50 percent of maximum (93 beats) will give a lower intensity, though still beneficial, workout. Most persons who exercise regularly can usually tell by perceived effort alone whether they are working out at low, moderate or high intensity. The higher the intensity, the more labored the breathing. If you use the carotid artery to determine your heart rate during exercise, take it for 10 seconds and then multiply by 6. Another good method is to use a heart rate monitor to guide your exercise. In terms of cardiovascular health, one very important factor is how quickly your heart recovers after a strenuous workout. This is known as recovery heart rate. Complete recovery back to your resting heart rate may take several hours after even a moderate workout. But what you're looking for is how much your heart beat slows during the first minute or two of rest.
June 2014 Health Beat 13
The quicker your heart rate comes down, the better. If your heart rate comes down 22 to 52 beats during the first two minutes, your biological age is about the same as your calendar age. If it's less than that, you may have health problems. One study found that a reduction of the heart rate of less than 12 beats during the first minute after exercise was a "powerful and independent predictor of the risk of death." Smoking, drinking a lot of caffeine, anemia and thyroid disorders can elevate heart rate. A resting heart rate that is consistently high – even at the high end of normal – is reason to see your doctor. If you notice a flutter, a flip flop or a missed beat or two while you're taking your pulse, it's probably nothing to worry
about. Nearly everyone has an irregular beat from time to time. An irregular rhythm, though, is more serious. A substantial number of veteran endurance athletes develop atrial fibrillation, a heart arrhythmia. Particularly during the early stages, atrial fibrillation (afib) strikes intermittently. You may have only occasional episodes when workouts become very difficult. Until you see a doctor, it's probably a good idea to limit the intensity of your workouts. Ultimately, no matter how healthy or fit you are, the beat is your clue to how efficiently your heart is doing its job.
Teach children to swim at an early age {Continued from page 2} in Canada and New Zealand drown at higher rates than children. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, parents should consider swimming lessons for most children between the ages of 1 and 4. New research has revealed that swimming instruction for children in that age range may decrease drowning risk. However, parents should be advised that swimming lessons do not remove all risk. Children still need constant supervision when in and around water. Additionally, learning CPR can be a life-saving measure. When enrolling children in swim lessons, parents should look for safety-certified instructors who have first-aid and resuscitation training and certification. Many programs offered are sponsored by the American Red Cross or the YMCA. Private swim clubs may have their own instructors. Children between the ages of 1 and 3 typically do not have the motor coordination to swim effectively. These children can benefit from swim lessons that emphasize getting used to the water, safety and learning some swimming readiness skills. Instruction may involve teaching children how to move their legs and arms and strengthen muscles used for swimming. Children between the ages of 4 and 5 may be more developmentally ready for swimming. Such youngsters may move from water-safety lessons to actual swimming with or
without support. A study titled "Children's readiness for learning front crawl swimming" published in The Australian Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport showed that whether kids "started lessons at two, three or four years of age," they learned to swim well at "approximately the same mean age of five and a half years." In addition to swimming lessons, parents and other adults can ensure water safety by taking the following precautionary measures: • Children should never be left unattended in the water. It takes mere inches of water for a youngster to drown. • In the pool or another body of water, caregivers should be within touching distance of young swimmers to provide help if needed, even if the child is wearing a floatation device. • Keep rescue equipment by the pool. • Remove toys from the pool when it's not in use. These toys can attract children who will go in after them. • A fence around the perimeter of the yard may be mandatory, but a fence around the pool itself is another safety barrier to consider. The fence should feature a self-latching gate. • Even adults should be watched while swimming. It is always a safe idea to swim with a buddy, so that the other person can get help if something goes wrong.

Understand and avoid sun poisoning A
trip to the lake or an afternoon by the pool is an enjoyable way to relax in the summer. With warm water at your feet and a good book to enjoy, the hours spent relaxing tend to pass quickly. While such days are often comfortable and relaxing, if you aren't careful, you may be putting yourself at risk of sunburn or even sun poisoning. Sunburns are never a good thing, but sun poisoning can be even more severe and the symptoms can become quite serious and uncomfortable. Despite what the common term "sun poisoning" implies, the sun does not poison the body. Rather, the term describes sensitivity to sunlight that results in a wide range of symptoms that can affect the skin and body as a whole. Sun poisoning can occur when one has a sun allergy, called solar urticaria. However, this is very rare. The greatest number of sun poisoning cases are simply a severe form of sunburn. Depending on the pigmentation of a person's skin and the severity of the sun, sunburn can occur in mere minutes. Many people can get a sunburn within 15 minutes of being in the sun. The sun's rays are most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., making the majority of the day a prime time for skin damage. Although sunburn can occur quite quickly, many people do not realize anything has occurred right away. That's because sunburn symptoms can be delayed. It may take a few hours for redness to appear and discomfort to set in. Staying in the sun too long without wearing adequate protection, whether it be a wide-brimmed hat, protective clothing or ample amounts of sunblock, can lead to sunburn. Over time, sunburn can progress to sun poisoning. Symptoms of sun poisoning include a severe sunburn accompanied by blisters on the skin. Pain and tingling may
occur, as well as swelling where the sun touched the body intensely. Sun poisoning also may cause fever and chills, nausea, dizziness, and dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, as the body's immune system attempts to kick into action. The best treatment for sun poisoning is prevention. Avoid blazing sun whenever possible, and use sunblock and reapply frequently if you must be out in the sun for any duration of time. Otherwise, some cases of sun poisoning can be relieved with the application of cool compresses or by taking cool (not cold) baths. Application of aloe gels also can alleviate discomfort, in addition to taking a pain relieving NSAID pill. If at any point a fever occurs and spikes to more than 104 F, or if there is extreme pain and vomiting, head to the emergency room. Doctors may have to quickly reduce swelling and inflammation and administer fluids intravenously to get the body back on track. Keep in mind that blisters from sun poisoning can become infected, so it is advisable to keep the skin clean and avoid picking at or popping blisters. Discuss any concerns about severe sunburn with a doctor. Frequent sunburns can be linked to accelerated skin aging and can put a person at a higher risk for skin cancer. According to the Cleveland Clinic, ultraviolet, or UV, radiation from the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer, but UV light from tanning beds is just as harmful. Cumulative sun exposure causes basal-cell and squamous-cell skin cancer, while episodes of severe blistering sunburns, usually before age 18, can cause melanoma later in life. Sun poisoning and sunburns are nothing to take lightly. These conditions are easy to prevent by being smart about sun exposure

Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays
this summer M
ost Americans understand the importance of protecting their skin from the sun, but they seldom make an effort to protect their eyes. Many are unaware that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can harm the eyes and affect vision as well. According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), even on an overcast day, harmful UV rays can cause sunburn of both the skin and the cornea of the eye. Over time, unprotected exposure to the sun can increase the possible risk of certain types of cataracts and potentially damage the retina, which could lead to total blindness. Americans should also know that UV damage is cumulative, so it's never too late to begin protecting the eyes from the sun's harmful rays. These five tips from the American Optometric Association can help prevent further eye damage from exposure to UV radiation: • Wear protective eyewear any time your eyes are exposed to UV light, even on cloudy days and during winter months. • Look for quality sunglasses that offer good protection. Sunglasses should block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UB-B radiation and screen out 75 to 90 percent of visible light. • Check to make sure your sunglass lenses are perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection. • Purchase gray-colored lenses. They reduce light intensity without altering the color of objects, providing the most natural color vision. • Don't forget protection for children and teenagers. They typically spend more time in the sun than adults. Additionally, be sure to receive routine comprehensive eye exams. It's a good way to monitor eye health, maintain good vision, and keep up to date on the latest in UV radiation protection.

Technical Issues:
Technical issues that mean various problems that have occurred during the project of mobile interfacing are given below:
- Microcontroller can communicate with other devices through serial interfacing protocol, but most of the recent mobile use USB protocol for data communication. So, there is a problem in interfacing microcontroller with mobile. The use of serial to USB converter or USB to serial converter is not helpful since this converter only converts the data from one protocol to another but does not convert the protocol that is required. So it is necessary to find a mobile set that supports serial data communication protocol, example: Siemens A75, Siemens A70 etc.
- The project of mobile interfacing is based on the AT command (Attention Terminal). To read messages stored in the mobile AT command are send to the mobile from the microcontroller. But for this procedure the mobile must support the AT command. Mobiles which support the GSM technology also support AT command. Without supporting this technology the interfacing is not possible.
- The SMS (Short Message Service), through which AT command is sent to the mobile is based on two modes: Text mode and PDU (Packet Data Unit) mode. Mobile that supports text mode does not need extra decoding code but for mobile that supports PDU mode an extra decoding code should be added to the microcontroller code to convert the text data format to the PDU data format.
- It is essential to use a MAX 232 buffer IC as an interlink between the microcontroller and the mobile rather than direct contact between these two devices. This MAX 232 buffer IC keeps the voltage level constant.
Time Requirements:
This is a time worthy project. It requires 5 to 6 weeks of time. So, it is better to keep in hand minimum 6 to 8 week time to complete the whole project including PCB.
Where to get things from:
The electrical components can be found from any of the electrical market in Patuatuli or Stadium Market. The mobiles are found in Motalib Plaza.
Suggestive Resources (Links):
Here are some links that will be useful to the project of mobile interfacing:

Politics is a funny business. One minute, you're the toast of the town; the next, you're toast. One minute, you're dazzling the digerati with clever ICT talk of "open source Scratch"; a second later, you're the nation's commemorative mug after proposing to spend #163;60 million on a yacht for the Queen.
Michael Gove's reversal of fortune isn't unique, however, and his embarrassment is likely to be temporary. The same cannot be said about some of our teaching unions.
Six months ago, it was all so different. The unions led combined action against the government's pensions proposals. They trumped that in November with an even more successful strike. Most schools were closed. Ministers, alternating between threats and conciliation, were rattled. The unions, buoyed by widespread outrage, were united. They wanted more. And they got it. The government tabled a better pensions offer.
Soon after, the unions suffered that reversal of fortune that has so recently afflicted Mr Gove. The government sounds coherent, the unions look divided. Half of them, believing that they have got as much as they can get in the circumstances, are ready to do a deal. The other half are holding out for more (pages 8-9). Which is right?
The refuseniks claim that the deal falls too far short of their demands, that the government will have to deal with them and that one more heave will bag them even more. Each of those assertions is nonsense.
None of the unions would claim that the deal is perfect. Contributions will increase; the working age will rise. But documents seen by TES show that the deal isn't far from the position agreed by all the unions before negotiations. They wanted an accrual rate of 155, they got 157; they wanted a revaluation of 1.7 per cent above inflation, they got 1.6 per cent. With the government threatening to impose less generous terms, public support for further action soft and the economy tanking, the moderate unions felt that the only rational course of action was to settle.
Unfortunately for the profession, it seems that reason has deserted the rebels. Their defiance ultimately depends on their ability to persuade teachers to support more strikes. Yet their own internal communications suggest they are not sure that is possible.
The government is even less likely to play ball. It would be "incomprehensible", claims NASUWT's Chris Keates, for ministers not to have further talks. But why on earth would they? "George, we must placate the most militant union leaders," is not a proposal one can imagine Mr Gove making to the chancellor.
Even if ministers wanted to talk, they might have some difficulty finding Ms Keates. Incredibly, she did not turn up for a single pensions meeting with education ministers. Not one. Well, it was the run-up to Christmas, always a busy time.
The situation would be comic if it weren't so potentially damaging. In a nutshell, the rebels have split the union movement, walked away from a reasonable deal, handed the government a propaganda gift and confused their members in pursuit of a claim that has little chance of gaining traction and no hope of being met.
Not many people have made the Grand Old Duke of York look like a tactical genius, but it appears he has rivals for his reputation. Unless, of course, the plan was never to reach a settlement in the first place ...

Boots with pride - Demo (2009)
01. El monte bootboys
02. Street war
03. Puto policia
04. Mala paga
05. Under the boot (Oxblood cover)
06. Steel toe boots with aggression
07. Bootparty
08. Working class struggle
09. Compatriotas
(Updated 27 April: The band does not consist of Mexican immigrants as i stated before. All members are US born. Something i still find hard to belive since the singer can hardly speak English. Oh and i uploaded the demo again.)
Oi! band from California with a bunch of very pissed off mexicans. The band has been around since 2007 and done some shows with Pressure point and Disorderly conduct among a few.
Being from the outside looking in i find it very wierd that there is a skinheadband with the American flag behind a pair of boots (as original as their name) and noone of the bandmembers are American born. I could probably pull of their lyrics with a better US accent then their singer. Almost every song by them uses the same bassline and rythm and add to it that they are fans of both Fear city and Pressure point and therefor they have just built themselfs a strong foundation for my hate and loathing.
All this aside they bring true battle oi! in a time when most so called Oi! bands have turned to streetrock or hardcore. One of their songs called Street war even made it on my I-pod and lets be real its a demo not a real release so if they ever get signed i hope to hear some better english vocabulary and more versatile songs. (and please remove my tattoo that i made in dedication to an old ska label from your bandlogo ;)

Spider-Man Homecoming movie review: This is the web-slinger we were waiting for all these years
Spider-man: Homecoming is surprisingly beyond comparing to its previous versions Photograph: (Others)
One of the most famous and loved superhero of all time, Spider-Man made a much awaited and much needed Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in last year's Captain America: Civil War. Many were of opinion that Spider-Man was one of the best parts of the film. Fans were even more elated when it was announced that the very next year that is in 2017, Spider-Man will be starring in his own film, helmed by MCU. The film was titled Spider-Man: Homecoming and it was revealed that will also feature MCU's poster boy since its inception in 2008, Robert Downey Jr aka Iron Man aka Tony Stark. Directed by Jon Watts, film stars Tom Holland, Jacob Batalon, Zendaya and Michael Keaton among others.
What's It About
The film starts right after the aftermaths of Captain America: Civil War as far as Peter Parker's (Tom Holland) story is concerned but Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton) aka Vulture's story goes back to the first Avengers film. Film follows the life of Peter Parker and how his life changes after his stint along with the Avengers. While Tony Stark assures him he'll be called when the time is right and advises him to not do what Tony would do and definitely not do what Tony wouldn't do. Basically, Tony wants him to be the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man while Peter wants to prove his worth and is just looking for a chance. And that one chance arrives in The Vulture! Once he comes face to face with The Vulture, all hell breaks loose, so much so that even Tony leaves him on his own. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
What's Good
Even though I am one of those who grew up on Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man trilogy and loathed Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man duology for two reasons, films not being anything like original trilogy and Andrew not being Tobey, but Tom Holland here is beyond comparison. He is goofy, childish, bumbling and yet endearing. He creates the sort of persona of Spider-Man in this film that you just can't compare him with the previous two. You can still be a fan of Tobey's take on the web slinger and love Tom's turn at it. Moreover, Tom is a very able actor, the whole scene of his with Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes in a car, speaks volume about his talent and the one in pre-climax when he decides to be an 'adult'.
Michael Keaton is one of the major reasons the film turns out to be what it is. He balances it out, if Peter is goofy, Adrian is no nonsense and menacing. When he turns into The Vulture, he is a scene stealer, his voice, demeanor, mannerism, aura works wonders for the film. Like I mentioned above that one scene in a car was the highlight of the film for me. While he does all those dreadful activities, somewhere in your heart, you still feel for him.
Jacob Batalon as Ned, Peter's best friend plays a perfect sidekick and often raises laughter quotient in the film. Marisa Tomei as Aunt May is as hot as she is talented and makers have played to that in the film. No wonder Tony Stark wanted to know if she's wearing something 'skimpy'. Other actors be it Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Zendaya as Michelle and Laura Harrier as Liz give able support.
And what can I say about the truly invincible Iron Man aka Robert Downey Jr. The more I say about his screen presence and acting ability, will be an insult to one of the world's biggest stars. He is charismatic, enigmatic, majestic and charming.
As far as film is concerned, like every other Marvel movie, film plays high on humour and there is not a single dull moment in the film. Spider-Man here is a trainee and is far away from learning the ropes or webs in this case, of being a superhero. This is the most grounded version of Spider-Man, which one can easily relate to for we finally get to see the difficulty Peter faces while he balances his school and trying to be a superhero. In fact if not for a superhero film, this film works well enough and can easily be passed off as a high school comedy.
There are many digs or reference, of course, indirect at (surprisingly) DCEU superheroes like Flash, Batman, Superman and Green Arrow. (Or maybe I read too much between the lines.) Anyway it was a win!
Apart from that there are several other easter eggs and references that'll be fun for the fans.
The music is fine with Vulture's theme score standing out. The special effects are first rate.
And finally, out of all the MCU, DCEU and other franchise blockbusters of Hollywood, this film has the best post-credit scene ever. You have to wait for it…
What's Not
While the earlier face-offs between Spider-Man and Vulture were worth your money, it is the climax that I found a little underwhelming. Make no mistake the end fight scene's build up is fantastic, it ends way before it should've, as if makers were in a hurry. Tony Revolori as Flash Thompson, "The High School Bully" in Peter's life was, highly underused.
I know it's a Spider-Man film but still I was expecting a fair screen time of Robert Downey Jr (blame it on the promos) but he had very limited scenes…may be that's the fanboy in me speaking.
And why oh why, you wouldn't show that money shot moment from the trailer where Iron Man and Spider-Man are shown slinging/flying around the city. That scene was missing from the film.
Apart from the above things, film, most importantly lacked depth, which was the major reason I loved Wonder Woman and Logan. Both of those films have soul, here it's all mind blasting entertainment.
What To Do
The question is, Can Marvel ever go wrong? Well the answer is NO, I don't think so. They know the tips and tricks of how to play to the gallery and successfully churn out an entertaining blockbuster. What's commendable here is they have done it with a superhero who is already a hit with the fans and have been played twice before in last 15 years. Watch the film for its non-stop entertainment and humour, for Tom Holland and Michael Keaton, for MCU finally getting a good villain after Loki and…well it's MCU, you are gonna watch it, anyway. This is the Spider-Man we were waiting for all these years.

Rotten Tomatoes has a great article on Chris Weitz regarding New Moon, Eclipse, the soundtrack, the proposal scene and whether Breaking Dawn is doable.
"Alexandre Desplat has just started working on his music for the film, and we are just starting to put together what bands are on the soundtrack, so it's kind of like keeping ten plates spinning at once," Weitz said. "But it's all good, because we've got Alexandre Desplat, who I think is one of the greatest film composers living, and because of the strength of the franchise that I inherited, a lot of bands are really interested in working on the soundtrack."
When asked about "Bella's Lullaby," Weitz confirmed that it would reappear -- at least, in some form. "I think yes, because like any franchise, there are certain themes that become familiar. I suspect he's going to transpose it in some manner, and most of the music will be entirely new to the franchise because his style is somewhat different from Carter Burwell's. But I think that there is some value to having some kind of familiar leitmotifs running through the entire series."
Speaking about the music in New Moon, Weitz revealed that requests have flooded in from bands who want to contribute to the soundtrack; after all, the first Twilight film helped launch alt-rock band Paramour into the pop culture stratosphere. In talks to appear on the soundtrack are none other than Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Kings of Leon.
"Fortunately, I'm not at the stage where I have to turn anybody down yet, because everything is still kind of up in the air," Weitz shared, "but I am surprised at some of the bands that have said they're interested. It's kind of great. The criterion will still always be what's right for the movie at that given moment, but Thom Yorke is interested; we might, if we're very lucky, get Kings of Leon to do something... it's exciting to be able to have access to this kind of talent."

The UK is now the most surveyed country in the world. Some people say that the UK is having an obsession with voyeurism, privacy laws, freedom of media, and surveillance – images captured and relayed on camera phones, YouTube or reality TV.
The exhibition "Voyeurism, Surveillance and the Camera" at the Tate Modern offers a fascinating look at pictures made on the sly, without the explicit permission of the people depicted. With photographs from the late nineteenth century to present day, the pictures present a shocking, illuminating and witty perspective on iconic and taboo subjects.
Much of Exposed focuses on surveillance, including works by both amateur and press photographers, and images produced using automatic technology such as CCTV. The issues raised are particularly relevant in the current climate, with topical debates raging around the rights and desires of individuals, terrorism and the increasing availability and use of surveillance. Exposed confronts these issues and their implications head-on.

TV Repair Questions? Ask a TV Technician for Answers ASAP
I am reviewing your details and will reply shortly.
Well because this is a pay for support site and like most people we work in exchange for payment.
The TV's 2 years old so not in warranty. Digihome would not even offer free tech support on this TV. So back to your TV, do you need help with this?
Thanks. Okay, do you have the original Digihome remote control and can you get anything to display if you press MENU please?
Okay so you're not able to select any menu options, or do anything else but get the menu on and off the screen correct?
Okay, this generally indicates a fault in the Mainboard of the TV and can require repairs made to fix the issue.
However it's worth it to try a hard reset, as sometimes the processor in the TV can simply have locked up.
The first thing you would try, is disconnect the set from power, then press and hold the power button on the TV itself (not the remote), for 10 seconds and release. Then plug the set back in, and also check that the power cord is connected tight at the TV as well. Press power once, and see if the set powers up normally. Try this procedure up to 2 times, and please let me know what happens.
You're welcome and good to hear! Before you go, could you please click a POSITIVE RATING (by scrolling all of the way to the top of the page, and clicking 3-5 stars), so that I am credited for working with you today?

Going to the dentist is something that everyone should do. While many people avoid going because it isn't always pleasant to have various metal tools and rubber gloves shoved into your mouth with unpleasant tasting flavors going on and off of your taste buds, they will probably tell you down the road that they wish they would have.
Caring for your teeth isn't just for aesthetic purposes. It is crucial in order to have a healthy mouth. Here are the reasons you should not avoid the dentist.
You Will Have Better Overall Health
Studies show that people who frequent the dentist regularly have better overall health than people who do not go. This is because your gums are a crucial part of your health. If your gums fall into bad conditions then it could enter your bloodstream and lead to serious conditions throughout the rest of your body.
Making sure that your oral health is in good standing means that you are ensuring the rest of your body is healthy too. Put in the effort to take care of your mouth and you will find yourself living a longer and healthier life.
You Will Feel More Confident
When you have teeth that aren't well taken care of or look unhealthy you won't be as confident about yourself. Confidence is important and you should feel confident when you smile at others.
Since your smile is one of the first things that people will see about you, you should make it something that you are proud of.
You Will Save More Money In The Long Run
Neglecting to go to the dentist to save money will only cost you more money at a later time when you run into potential dental problems like decay or having to get orthodontic procedures.
Make sure to get yourself a good dental insurance policy. You will still have to pay out of pocket for a portion of the dental visits but it is certainly less money than having to get oral surgery from complications that arise from not getting your teeth regularly maintained.
You Will Save Yourself Stress
Dental emergencies are no fun at all. When you find yourself in agonizing stress over a tooth issue that you neglected over time then you will find yourself completely stressed out and rushing to an emergency dental clinic.
Often emergency dental procedures are much more expensive and since they come up unexpectedly you have to change your schedule around at the last minute.
It is much easier to pencil in a teeth cleaning appointment than having to cancel a full day of work because you have to get an emergency root canal.

Found while I was looking for something else --
An explanation of where one of my favorite obscure 19th-century English melodies came from … it's "Tallis' Evening Hymn," a highly ornamented version of the Tallis Canon that I first saw in a Primitive Baptist hymnal 15 or 20 years ago.
Excerpt eBooks version of
The Hymnal 1982 Companion, Volume 1 edited by Raymond F. Glover

… The early Methodists took up the tune, and with the canon forgotten, it evolved rather like a folk song, collecting ornamentation along the way, until in the early nineteenth century it was to be found in almost every tune book, while on the church barrel-organs it was second only to the OLD 100TH in popularity. It was no longer Tallis; but it could be a stately companion for Ken's matchless hymn, as for example in the small collection published by John Goss in 1827 for Chelsea Parish Church, London, where he was organist before his appointment to St. Paul's Cathedral …
In H82 the editors have sought to put the clock further back by introducing modal harmony with a selection of F naturals based on Tallis's. It will be interesting to learn whether congregations find this effective. (50)

The influence of Thomas Aquinas (ca. 1225-74 A.D.) compared to some of these earlier church fathers, not including Augustine, can hardly be over-estimated. I recently went to a Christology Conference at the Dominican Centre at Catholic University in D.C. to present a paper. To my amazement, most of what went on was interpreting Christology through the lens of Thomist theology. Thomas Aquinas is alive and well in this nation's capital.
Aquinas affirms that God is the author of the Bible, and that the human authors can be called 'instrumental causes' of its production. There is no tension or contradiction between divine revelation on one hand, and the human author's efforts on the other. Thomas is not a child of the Enlightenment born out of due season. It is important however to note that Thomas discusses the human author's intention as well as the divine intention. The literal sense of the text is that which the human author intends, it would seem.
Thomas is certainly one who emphasizes the literal meaning of the Biblical text, but he could get to the figurative meaning of the text through the use of an inter-textual reference or two. And there is both a plus and a minus to his use of Aristotle's categories to make sense of the text. On the plus side is the fact that it doesn't try to radically distinguish the literal and deeper meanings of the text. Many meanings can be present in the literal sense of one prophetic passage. It's not an either or situation.

The capital of Roseau has many restaurants, small shops and wonderful views of the mountains to the east and the Caribbean Sea to the west. The town hums with the sounds of vehicles, Caribbean accents, and minor commerce e.g. pavement BBQs, vendors selling clothing in street stalls.
An old British Fort is located on the north-west coast at Portsmouth. A small fee may be charged. Expect to spend 1-2 hours at the site.
Scotts Head is a small isthmus on the southern tip of the island. It is also the name of the small community located there. It takes about one hour to drive from Roseau each way. Scotts Head is a great place to hike up the steep outcrop, which offers a wonderful view of the south-west coast of Dominica and the Caribbean Sea and even the island of Martinique to the south.

Basic Reading, Writing, and Peer-Editing Guide
Celina Su, an Urban Studies professor at Brooklyn College, has a great guide to help students with critical reading, writing, and peer-editing. I highly recommend students check out the guide. Even if some of the ideas seem really basic and obvious, it never hurts to be reminded that we should be doing these things on a regular basis.
Check out Celina Su's Peer-Editing guides.
Paisley Currah, another Brooklyn College professor, also has a more in-depth guide for writing that covers topics such as style, mechanics, using references, as well as developing your arguments.
And per usual, you can always discuss these things with me in person or via email if you find yourself needing additional assistance.

We've discussed negotiating a contract and finalizing the gig. Once you've booked your gig and you're getting ready for the show, here are the rules that I live by:
Arriving at the gig
Make sure you have advanced the show, got directions, and reviewed the contract to make sure you arrive with everything you need in order to perform. Sometimes I'm required to bring backline and sound, sometimes just my accordion. Make sure you are prepared.
- Be on time. My philosophy is: If I'm early, I'm on time. If I'm on time, I'm late.
- Appearance. I've gotten some great gigs because my band looked sharp.
- Hand out parking passes and wrist bands and the like in ad
- Contact the stage manager or promoter when you arrive.
- Find out where to park, where to set up, where to eat, etc…
- Set up merchandise booth, if allowed.
- Have your contract in hand, in case there are any questions
During and After the Gig
- Interact with the crowd
- Announce that you have merchandise for sale
- Invite fans to join you at other events
- Announce "text to join" information (stay tuned for more information on next post)
- Thank the promoter/organization/venue for arranging the show over the loud speaker
- Promote your social networking sites for the fans to connect with you
- Create a mailing list by getting email addresses at each gig
- Introduce your band
- Sell merchandise (Have someone that can sell for you while you're on stage)
- Sign CD's, merchandise, give autographs, take pictures, etc…
- Get PAID
- Pay your band, have them sign receipts and give each member their copy
This is simple, common sense stuff, I know. But I've had to call tech support with computer problems just be told to plug the wire in. Sometimes it's helpful to go over basics.
What areas could you use help in? What burning questions do you have? There are no stupid questions or comments.

My seven-years-younger sister is in town this week and it has been wonderful. I feel like I need to repeat that because I am not quite sure I believe it – but it has. Looking at her, a young 21, I see a lot of myself at that point in my life. We honestly couldn't be more different – where I left home as soon as I could manage, she is still living there; where I have hopped from job to job and from path of study to path of study, she is about to complete her Bachelor's and has plans to both study to teach Irish Dance and go to Law School; where I look back on my past with the eyes of a cynic – she still sports her rose-coloured glasses.
Up until this week I felt both sorry for and jealous of my kid sister. Sorry for her in a protective older sibling way because I thought she simply didn't know any better and jealous because I thought she had gotten all the chances. What never, until now, occurred to me is how very different we are as people. Sure, we share a unique pattern of neuroses – but underneath that we are opposites, which explains how our lives have taken such very divergent paths.
It is in seeing that, unclouded by the old patterns of judgment, that has brought me clarity today. She still bugs me in that kid-sister way, but I feel less compelled to help her "fix" herself – or that she needs any fixing at all. I suppose that I wanted her to be as broken as I am, so I could flatly lay the blame somewhere. But she isn't, sure she's shy and doesn't have nearly the confidence in herself that she deserves – but that will come, she is young and smart and talented and actually very, very, with-it. And I am certainly no expert on the subject of self-confidence.
For so long I have projected my own shortcomings onto others – I am always ready to dispense advice and cast judgment. Suddenly, I see clearly that I need to turn that inward and cast that judgment on myself, and more helpfully, dispense some worthy advice and then take it.

City Council roundup
Published 8:00 pm, Monday, December 9, 2002
City Annual Report available for review
The City of Midland unveiled its annual financial report at its meeting Monday.
Auditors gave the report a stellar review, saying that the city is in a better financial state than most.
"There are no budget deficits in any of the 40 accounting funds that the city maintains," said city fiscal services director Bob Fisher.
While city expenses rose 6.52 percent for the year ending June 30 because of increased staffing, salaries and health insurance premiums, a cushion of $1.49 million in undesignated money in the budget and $350,000 in a contingency reserve fund was left for the 2002-2003 budget.
The money is expected to be adequate to protect against unforeseen negative financial events, including the recent threat to state shared revenues.

Midland Public Schools will host channel
Midland Public Schools is preparing to go on air with a cable television station dedicated solely to the activities and issues of the educational system in Midland.
The Midland City Council gave the plan a go-ahead at its Monday meeting when it approved a budget amendment that increased expenditures to the Cable Communications Fund by $40,500.
Jack Duso, assistant city manager, said the station could be on air as soon as four weeks.
Brownfield Redevelopment Zone approved
A tax incentive that will supplement the previously approved renaissance zone for property within The Dow Chemical Co.s Michigan Operations site was granted by the Midland City Council at its Monday meeting.
The brownfield redevelopment plan, which could save Dow $24.5 million in single business tax, is expected to help Midland increase its chances of attracting a new Dow business to the site.
Midland is competing with a handful of sites nationwide for the $227.5 million investment that would bring 300 jobs.
The brownfield redevelopment zone also will apply to a new pharmaceutical development facility for which Dow will invest $17.79 million, retaining eight jobs and creating 11.

AIDS, homelessness, wars fought at a distance and quickly, famine in far-off countries, marriages, deaths, cocaine addiction and alcoholism, divorce, youth struggling with coming of age, sickness. These were the issues that I thought would make up my ministry when I was in seminary in the early 1990s. The first funeral I conducted while I was still a student was for a woman who'd died of AIDS. I'd worked with "at risk" youth in public housing as a volunteer and then on staff at a Boys and Girls Club. Peers in college had dabbled in drugs like marijuana and cocaine; one was in AA by her junior year.
My classmates and I watched Operation Desert Storm unfold like a video game on CNN, and not two months later decisive victory and a cease-fire was declared. Perhaps all that angst wasn't warranted after all. Wars like Vietnam and World War II were a thing of the past given this new technological age. This assumption, like so many others, has proven to be wrong.
The AIDS epidemic is not headline news anymore, even as it still rages in parts of the world and in parts of our country. Heroin and meth have outpaced the scourge of cocaine, and marijuana is legal in some states.
Weddings, funerals, divorce, homelessness and all manner of poverty did, and do, compose much of the landscape of my ministry. But there was one issue I did not, in my naiveté, see coming.
In recent weeks, I have been meeting with a group of area pastors to plan a response to a series of rallies coming to the university town of Charlottesville, Virginia. A branch of the KKK has requested and been granted a permit to gather in a few weeks. Another, likely larger, gathering of the grassroots organization Unity and Security for America is being planned for August 12. Also this summer, the Virginia Flaggers will come to town. According to their blog, they "stand with our flags against those in opposition in a peaceful, yet forceful manner, to educate and inform the general public and in open and visible protest against those who have attacked us, our flags, our ancestors, or our heritage." The flag to which they are referring is the Confederate one.
I did not in my wildest pastoral imagination consider that in 2017 my ministry would be consumed with matters related to the KKK and the Confederate flag. Opposing systematic racism? Yes, I knew that would be part of God's work of justice. Blatant hate and white supremacy? I did not see that coming.
The African-American residents of Charlottesville haven't had the luxury of my ignorance. Some have expressed weariness rather than shock. There is a "here we go again" quality to their comments. One man, a local African-American farmer, said that his main worry isn't about the outright alt-right and their ilk, as much as it is the self-proclaimed white liberals who call the cops when he drives in their neighborhoods to deliver produce. In a post that went viral he wrote under an image of Flaggers at Lee Park: "Truth is, as a black dude, I'm far less bothered by the flag wavers in this picture than this town's progressives assuming its race problem has nothing to do with them. The former is a visual inconvenience. The latter could leave my daughters without a father."
While it may be weakly defensible for me to be shocked by the visible reemergence of the KKK and their close kin, it is absolutely indefensible for me to assume that this town's and this country's race problem has nothing to do with me. People chanting "blood and soil" or those wearing white hoods are obvious manifestations of much deeper and more pervasive racism. Standing against vitriolic public displays of hate is a requirement of my faith, but so is the harder work of taking the log out of my own eye.
Of all the activities, issues and people I thought would take up my pastoral energy, I did not envision torch-bearing white supremacists among them. I did not see such evil coming because I've had a log in my own eye and these deeply disturbing events have forced me to stop pretending it isn't there.
Grace and peace,

From today's Senate Judiciary confirmation hearings (via Frank J.):
"It's now Senator Kennedy's turn," Specter said.In all seriousness though, what I saw today on C-Span was Kennedy pulling out sentences from magazines and newspapers and demanding to know if Alito had ever read them. He can't find anything in the three or four hundred opinions Alito actually did write to ding him with, so now Senator-for-life murderer Ted Kennedy wants us to believe that Judge Alito is responsible for everything he has ever read? Alito says he didn't even read what Teddy is talking about. I read tons of stuff I disagree with. So what? I thought McCarthyism was a bad thing. For Senator Kennedy, it's all about the smear. Kennedy is a thug. And don't even get me started on Joe Biden ("all kidding aside, I wasn't a big Princeton fan") or Upchuck Schumer. (SCHUMER: Does the Constitution protect the right to free speech? ALITO: Certainly it does. That's in the First Amendment. SCHUMER: So why can't you answer the question of: Does the Constitution protect the right to an abortion the same way without talking about stare decisis?) These guys really should have taken their medication.
Alito stared at the globular mass before him. "It's like someone put Jabba the Hut in a suit."
"Gerwargerwaggle!" Kennedy exclaimed as he flailed his tiny limbs and ripped some flesh from the ham hock he had in hand.
"I'm sorry," Alito answered, "I'm not sure how this is possible, but I don't think I can hear you over your own stench of whiskey."
"Wargherbagleergh!" Kennedy yelled, flailing his arms around some more.
