By: Julia John-Scheder
The German Center for Research and Innovation recently interviewed CEO and co-founder of Kaia, a software-based healthcare platform that offers an app-based digital therapy focused on chronic pain. Konstantin Mehl is no stranger to the startup world. After successfully building the food delivery app foodora and selling it in 2015, he started to work on Kaia, which led him to the evolving field of personalized medicine.
Please tell us about Kaia.
Kaia is a digital therapy against back pain. The app offers a holistic and customized therapy that only takes around 15 minutes per day. After using the app for 20 days, patients report a 42% pain decrease, a clinical study by Kaia just showed. The great thing is the app helps people take fewer pain killers and undergo fewer or no surgeries. We mainly sell our app to companies that offer it as a health benefit to their employees.
What are the major challenges you are currently facing, and what are some of the challenges you foresee?
Mind-body therapies for chronic pain will definitely take off in the distant future. One challenge is to convince doctors and therapists to actively encourage patients to use therapy apps. To prove that a digital therapy app can work in harmony with doctors and therapists, we received 5.2 million euros in research funding and we have a big insurance company on board as well as many other partners. We hope that this project shows the effectiveness of a collaboration between the offline and the online medical infrastructure.
Data security is a big factor in the digital health field. Do you anticipate resistance from the general public and how will you be able to overcome it?
Data security is a crucial topic, as we deal with sensitive patient data. However, with the right data security certificates, i.e. HIPAA compliance, there is little that we can do wrong. We focus a lot on keeping data safe and we don't use cloud storage.
Where do you think personalized medicine will be in the next 5 years?
Five years from now everything that is not personalized medicine will not exist anymore. Insurance, companies and patients will longer be able to afford to pay for ineffective therapies. There will be big shift in the US towards outcome-based medicine which always includes a huge degree of personalization of the offered therapy.

Any given person should do debate (details below)
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|7 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|1,554 times
|Debate No:
The details of the resolution:
Any given person will be restricted to an average American teenager who has the time to do debate.
That means I'm not saying a person with way too many responsibilities is exempt from this, and we will not bring other countries into this debate.
My argument is that debate is beneficial overall and therefore the average American teenager should do it.
Students Benefit:
· 61% increase in critical thinking skills
· 25% improvements in literacy rates
· 95-99% college matriculation rates among at risk students
· Over 150 colleges and universities actively recruit urban debaters for admission and scholarships
· Urban debaters in most cities have high school graduation rates above 90% (national avg. 72%)
Teachers Benefit:
A school system with roughly 10,000 teachers and a turnover rate of 20% would save approximately $500,000/year by reducing turnover by 1 percentage point. Debate increases teacher retention as they watch students develop critical thinking skills before their eyes. They reconnect to the mission that first attracted them to education.
Colleges & Parents Benefit:
Only 32% of all students leave high school qualified to attend four-year colleges. When urban debate leagues informs parents that debaters receive millions in scholarships just for debating, they see new options for their children. More than 150 colleges offer debate scholarships. Universities use urban debaters to diversify their entering classes with promising students from neighborhoods they cannot access normally.
School Districts Benefit:
Creating positive culture is a key component of building district-wide norms of academic excellence. Reaching just 5% of students with the UDL model has driven schools to add AP courses, upgrade their libraries, and expand their educational objectives for all students. Debate works. It's why debate was required in every school district for decades.
Communities Benefit:
High school graduates live longer, have better general health and are less likely than high school dropouts to use publicly financed health insurance programs. If the 18-year-olds who failed to graduate had advanced one grade, it would save nearly $2.3 billion in publicly financed medical care, aggregated over a lifetime.
The Nation Benefits:
1.2 million students fail to graduate on time costing the nation more than $312 billion in lost wages, taxes and productivity over their lifetimes. For every city where debate flourishes, their earning potential increases exponentially, saving billions. (1)
2. People with severe mental disabilities should not debate.
3. Honestly, I should not debate, because I am wasting your time. So I introduce to you a paradox. You have an option. Debate me, and have me waste your time to prove that debate is not for everyone, or call it off and acknowledge that you were wrong. Either way, you will never know if I am being sincere.
Let's begin with point by point refutation.
1. "Debate stems hate"
I have three responses to this point.
a. My opponent has not brought up evidence to support this point. For him to claim that debate stems hate, he must have some kind of warrant. You can not merely make claims without a person who has studied the subject backing you up.
b. How does violence come out in debate? Debate is intellectual and is formed through vocal words or letters (in the case of debate.org), not physical. There is no reason to believe that violent people should not debate.
c. Lastly, the majority of average american kids are not violent in such a way that this could even remotely be a problem. My opponent has provided no warrant for a claim that is not even logically based.
2. "People with severe mental disabilities should not debate".
I have three responses to this as well.
a. Why is that so? You need to provide a reason to believe so.
b. This point is not logical. In fact, if someone has mental disabilities, debate would actually be beneficial, because it builds up that person's brain. Again, no reason to believe a pereson with mental disabilities should not debate.
c. No evidence, again. If my opponent will refuse to provide any reason to believe his position, he should at least provide backup evidence.
d. The majority of average american kids do not have serious mental disabilities. So this point does not apply to the majority of the population. Why does that matter? Because we argue by net benefits, or which contention provides more benefit. If you're talking about people, you have to look at what the majority is. If the majority will receive a benefit from debating, then vote for me. Clearly, my opponent has provided no reason to vote against me since his arguments are not clear, not backed up, and illogical.
3. "Paradox"
This point is rather confusing. How is this an argument against my position? What do you mean by the fact that I will never know if you are sincere? I'll go through every sentence here.
"Honestly, I shouldn't debate, because I am wasting your time."
On the contrary, you are building up my skills. You have not attacked the benefits of debate which I stated in my first "speech", so that means by debating me you are giving me the benefits of debate.
"Debate me, and have me waste your time to prove that debate is not for everyone, or call it off and acknowledge that you were wrong."
I would like to rephrase that. Because I am not wrong. You again have provided no evidence and illogical arguments which do not properly refute my stance. Therefore I am right, and you are wrong.
"Prove that debate is not for everyone"-- Restate that. Attempt to prove. You can not prove a falsehood, and you haven't. Until you do, that statement is foolish.
Voters, I urge you to vote for me. My opponent has provided illogical arguments that are not backed up with evidence. They also only apply to the minority. That means that the majority of average american kids will get a benefit from debate.
Thank you, and I anticipate my opponent's response.
As for the framework of this debate, it has been unfairly established that "any given person will be restricted to an average American teenager who has the time to do debate." This is abusive of the pro team, and does not argue a logical argument. Any teenager who has the time to debate? As a last resort, the pro side could default to say that the only way a teenager could have time would be if they had no other activities, in which case debate is better than doing nothing. This is an unfair stance, and the framework needs to be resolved to "any given person" meaning ANY GIVEN PERSON, not just teenagers. Further, the pro team does not specify whether this means competitive debate - as in Lincoln Douglas, Public Forum, Policy, etc. - or recreational debate - i.e. www.debate.org. Since it is not specified by the resolution, it must be assumed that any form of debate should be taken into consideration. If the pro team wanted to frame the debate around High School competitive debate, they should have written the resolution that way. All of the evidence is framed toward competitive debate, so it does not in any way refute my points.
How so? I just responded to my opponent's points with several responses. I did not copy and paste. Yet again, my opponent is providing a illogical statement.
1. Resolution too specific
I am the Instigator. I can choose the topic. My opponent is trying to say that just because I used my right to choose the topic he should win. How is this logical? Furthermore, he accepted this debate. If he can find no argument against my position, that is his fault, not mine. Therefore he shouldn't go around whining that my resolution is too specific. The reason I used this resolution rather than "Any given person" is because I wouldn't expect a bum in India, for example, to take up debate.
2. "Definition of time"
This is in no way an unfair stance. If you as the con can prove that debate is actually going to be detrimental, then you win this debate. Of course, as of now, you still have not proved that. Again, my opponent is whining about a debate that he himself accepted. If he finds he cannot debate me, he should then concede rather than try to get votes by launching illogical "unfairness" arguments.
3. No specification between competitive and recreational
I assumed my opponent would have the common sense to realize I mean every kind of debate, including debate.org. But, yet again, I have been disappointed. I did not mean to frame it towards competitive debate only. I would also like to point out debate.org is also competitive. I am debating my opponent, for example, and that is competition.
4. "His evidence does not refute my points"
First off, any benefits towards students applies even with debate.org. Let's go through the benefits my evidence cited.
Critical thinking: I am thinking critically of my opponent's arguments. I think critically of any opponent of mine whenever I am debating on this site. So this still applies.
Literacy: On debate.org you write more than you do in competitive debate. I would argue you get even more literacy skills.
Admission to college: If you are a good debater on debate.org, you get the benefits and you are more likely to be admitted to college than someone who has never debated.
The rest apply.
Yes, admission to college and scholarships are not quite AS high with debate.org rather than competitive debate, but they still are a benefit.
Also, any of the benefits quoted in the first speech that are based on the kid learning faster apply. For example, if you are on debate.org and you actually debate (unlike the way my opponent has been doing by providing illogical arguments), then you get the thinking skills and it's easier for you to do any subject and therefore graduate.
Moving on...
Now that I've refuted my opponent's last post, let's go over my responses to his first post. In the last post, my opponent made no attempt to refute my responses, most likely because he can not. The only thing he said about them was in the last sentence:
" All of the evidence is framed toward competitive debate, so it does not in any way refute my points. "
I will be going over my points and 1. Showing how all except two did not even depend on the benefits of debate evidence, and 2. The ones that did use the benefits that still stand even without competitive debate.
a. No
b. No
c. No
a. No
b. Sort of... Basically said that debate will build up their brain. But again, I went over my evidence and showed how it still applies to even debate.org. So this response still stands.
c. No
d. No
a. Yes, I did use the benefits of debate. But I used the student benefits of debate, which all still apply to debate.org
b. No
c. No
As you can see, ALL of my responses still stand. And as I've responded to his last post, he has no points on me. I have yet to see my opponent actually debate me and respond to my arguments.
Please vote pro because my opponent still has provided no well thought-out or logical arguments against my position and therefore I still stand.
As for the resolution, you did not specify in the actual resolution who/what is being referred to. It does not matter if you wrote the resolution, you can't discount the vast majority of the world: ANY GIVEN PERSON. Stop cheating by writing nonspecific resolutions, the writing off your opponents as whiners when you try to limit the scope of a pre-written resolution.
Let me get this straight. You want to say any given person should do debate, yet we should exclude:
1. anyone who is not a teenager
2. not an American
The framework itself shows that the pro side feels cornered, and the only way to win is to twist the resolution out of context entirely
At this point, I am getting tired of the Pro side's poor conduct, stating disappointment, and whining. So let's clear this up. The pro side lied about copy/paste. The pro side cheats in changing the focus of debate, mid-round.
Finally, relating to my original case, my opponent is clearly mentally retarded, and should clearly not debate, because he cannot do it fairly.
a. It's not an argument. It's a statement that has no weigh in on the round.
b. So what? Why does it matter? If anything it's good to give context. I don't understand why my opponent is so irked by the fact that I copied a source.
"As for the resolution, you did not specify in the actual resolution who/what is being referred to. It does not matter if you wrote the resolution, you can't discount the vast majority of the world: ANY GIVEN PERSON. Stop cheating by writing nonspecific resolutions, the writing off your opponents as whiners when you try to limit the scope of a pre-written resolution."
Oh, so now you're saying I did not specify in the resolution. Ugh. I tried to avoid this silly argument by adding (Details below) to the resolution. But my opponent, in his desperation to find ANYTHING against me, has brought up the argument. Therefore I rebut:
I specified that the any given person would be restricted to the average american kid. I also stated specifically that was basically the condition of the resolution. I didn't want to write a huge resolution: "Any given person who is an american kid that has enough time should do debate." So I just wrote (details below) and specified it. I was being specific.
"Let me get this straight. You want to say any given person should do debate, yet we should exclude:
1. anyone who is not a teenager
2. not an American
The framework itself shows that the pro side feels cornered, and the only way to win is to twist the resolution out of context entirely"
a. Yes, I do want to exclude those two things. Plus exclude anyone without enough time. Again, I am the instigator. I make the standards. If the contender can't debate with the standards, he/she should not accept the debate. It is my opponent's fault that he can't debate this properly.
b. "Cornered"? It just means I think it unwise, again, for a bum in India to take up debate. It's hard to debate against facts. And I did not twist the resolution. The conditions I wrote were PART OF THE RESOLUTION.
"At this point, I am getting tired of the Pro side's poor conduct, stating disappointment, and whining. So let's clear this up. The pro side lied about copy/paste. The pro side cheats in changing the focus of debate, mid-round."
Poor conduct? I am merely stating facts. You were whining because you couldn't beat my arguments. Plain and simple.
Lying about copy and paste: This was completely a misunderstanding. Let's look at the way you phrased it the first time.
"I'm sorry, I did not know that we would be debating this round by copying and pasting all of our main points without any actual participation on our part."
What this makes me think is that we've all been copying and pasting for the last few rounds. Not just the first speech. If he had said this during the first round, I would have understood his meaning. But he stated it long after I had copied a source.
Now, let's look at what I said in response to the silly point.
"How so? I just responded to my opponent's points with several responses. I did not copy and paste. Yet again, my opponent is providing a illogical statement."
Do you see anywhere in there that I'm denying I copied and pasted the benefits of debate from a source in the FIRST speech? No, I merely denied that I copied and pasted the second round's speech. Which is obviously truth. Nowhere did I lie.
Lastly, who cares if I copied from a source? That's what evidence is for, right? My point was that debate is beneficial. I needed a source stating the benefits of debate. So I copied that source. Nothing wrong. My opponent is flustered at me for backing up my point with evidence. How queer.
"The pro side cheats in changing the focus of debate, mid-round"
How did I change the focus of debate? If you're referring to the fact that I limited the resolution in my FIRST speech, then just stop. I specifically said "Details below", which is translated as "I'm going to show you what I mean by this resolution".
As you can see, I haven't cheated. On the other hand, my opponent has not responded to any of my arguments yet. Therefore they still flow to me.
"Finally, relating to my original case, my opponent is clearly mentally retarded, and should clearly not debate, because he cannot do it fairly."
And now he resorts to ad hominem. If I'm clearly refuting each of his arguments and he's not responding and I'm mentally retarded, what does that make him? I'm actually laughing right now. "Mentally retarded". Wow, better let it go or I'll die of laughter.
What do we see from this? My opponent has just called me a liar, cheater, and a retard. If that is not misconduct, I do not know what is. Have I called him a retard, liar, or cheater? No. Yet he says I have misconduct for saying he was whining. Sigh.
Voting issues
Voting issues are basically issues in this round that I believe flow to me and therefore justify voting for me.
Voting issue 1. Net benefits
Basically, my opponent brought up a couple of arguments in round 1 which were actually getting close to real arguments. But I showed how they do not apply or just don't make sense. Also, he has not contested the benefits of debate. The closest he got to contesting them was that debate.org does not provide these benefits. But I went through them and showed how it does indeed. So clearly my position has the net benefit, and my opponent has not provided a reason why it doesn't. The fact that he completely dropped his arguments shows that he either (1) concedes with me or (2) did not know what to say because I adequately responded to them.
Because of this issue alone, I ask that you would vote Pro.
Voting issue 2. Misconduct
My opponent called me a liar, cheater, and retard. The closest I got to calling him names was that he was whining and I pointed it out. We are supposed to debate with respect for each other, not calling each other names with not much reason. I also distinctly pointed out that I am indeed NOT a liar, I did not cheat, and there's no reason to believe I'm a mental retard. (If I was a mental retard, why does that matter anyways)?
Because of my opponent's severe misconduct, I would ask that you vote Pro.
Alas, Con has one last chance to throw ad hominems and complain about my resolution (which he accepted by choosing me to debate). Please do not be blinded by his random insults.
Also, if he brings up new points, I would ask that you mark him down even more for misconduct. I can not respond to whatever he says in the next speech, so if he makes new arguments it is unfair for me.
Thank you for voting on this debate round, and please vote Pro.
Honestly we both had better things to do than debate to no end. At least I do, and I hope you do. If you don't, it must mean that not only are you a lying, cheating retard, but you also have no life. Only kidding, of course, but, but if that is true, maybe debate is good for you, but it is not good for everyone.
In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, "I'm really hungry!"
What's the point of rewriting it all when it's all that you really need? Plus, that was the first round. I adequately addressed all of your arguments without copy & paste. You're the first person to ever complain about that.
Also, why on earth would you just jokingly debate? You totally made yourself lose.

It's obvious that NBA player Kevin Durant loves his momma! Labeling her the " Real MVP", this weekend the Golden State Warriors champion threw his mother, Wanda Durant, a lavish 5oth birthday with all of their close family members and friends. With a smile on her and her sons by her side, Wanda looked amazing as Kevin pulled out all the stops for his most valuable mother, cheerleader, and number one supporter.
Fifty And Fly:
At a D.C. hotspot, FELT Bar and Lounge at MGM National Harbor, Wanda Durant celebrated her 50th birthday in style with an all-white cocktail party that was secretly orchestrated by her sons Kevin and Tony Durant. Now, if you've ever paid attention to Momma Durant, then you've noticed that she is always put together. While you can often find her sitting court side watching her son play, make no mistake that she also comes to slay. You can always catch Mama Durant with a fresh short haircut, a beat face, and a outfit tailor made for a queen! For her 50th birthday, the Real MVP did not disappoint as she was dressed in an off the shoulder sequin gown.
Initially, Wanda was enjoying her birthday bash, however, their was a twinge of sadness as her sons were not there in the beginning. She believed they were out of the country. Of course, not wanting to disappoint their mom, Kevin and Tony surprised their mother by sneaking into the back of the room. Upon realizing that her sons had made it, she was full of tears. As the party continued, Wanda danced, smiled, and stopped for photo opportunities.
For 50 years old, Wanda looks pretty good. Nonetheless, she still is considered a senior citizen now that she is 50 years old. To highlight the milestone birthday, Kevin presented his mother with an AARP honorary membership card along with an extravagant cake at the end of the party. Too thrilled, Wanda took to Instagram to acknowledge everyone for attending her birthday bash.
The outpour of love that I received this past week and weekend was absolutely unbelievable. I am SO THANKFUL for my family and friends for coming out to celebrate and love on me for my 50th Birthday celebration!! You are ALL appreciated beyond any words that I can ever express. All the beautiful prayers, posts, emails and phone calls truly touched my heart. THANK YOU!! #50shadesofWanda #blessed #goldenage • • | Photographer: @domoshotme | Hair: @lavigirldc |Wardrobe Stylist: @sankaraxt | Makeup: @_brittanyrogers | Interior Design: @adesigner4u | Retoucher: @o_ray |

Sefton Central Labour MP Bill Esterson said he is bitterly disappointed that the government is pushing ahead with "seriously flawed" plans which could see the closure of Crosby's Liverpool Coastguard Station.
Bill immediately launched a campaign to save the Crosby station when the Tory-Lib Dem government announced plans to slash the number of the country's coastguard stations from 19 to eight.
The station was originally left off the consultation document, but quickly added after Labour MPs raised concerns about the closure.
It was then pitched against Belfast's Coastguard Station for survival.
Speaking in the House of Commons after the announcement, Bill said: "The news that Crosby coastguard is to close is a bitter blow to staff and to the public in my constituency and around the coast. It is a cut too far which risks public safety.
"Crosby has many experienced and outstanding staff who have relationships with search and rescue staff, with police officers and fire fighters.
"Staff want to make the most of new technology but using the existing network rather than in a large, remotely located operations in Southampton and Aberdeen. By keeping 24/7 stations the minister has accepted that new technology will be most effective if combined with existing local knowledge and relationships.
"So why has he not done this at Crosby or at the other seven stations he wants to close? Is the truth behind the closures because of pressure from the Treasury?"
Bill blasted the plans calling them "dangerous".
Bill said: "This is obviously very bad news for Crosby, Liverpool and the whole of the North West.
"From day one, the Labour Party and myself have highlighted the inherent dangers of these seriously flawed plans. We have shouted from the rooftops that the closures will mean people will end up losing their lives in the waters around this region.
"With the closure of our coastguard station, we are losing the expertise of the dedicated staff who man the station and keep our waters safe."
Bill called a number of debates in Westminster Hall to discuss the plans and highlight the inherent dangers. He also attended public meetings on the issue.
Bill said: "Throughout all of the debates, both in Westminster Hall and out in the communities everyone was saying the same thing, 'These plans are dangerous.' The only ones who can't see that - or refuse to see it - is the government.
"They are mistakenly thinking that the fantastic service which our coastguards provide locally can be provided locally. It cannot. While new technology is important and should be used it should not be at the expense of local knowledge and expertise. The Tories and Lib Dems have closed Crosby because they are in a rush. This is yet another cut that's too far and too fast this time at the expense of public safety.
"This government is intent on destroying our lifesaving emergency services. They have slashed funding to the police, fire and these plans make the waters around our region very dangerous indeed.
"I will continue to fight the government on this. They are making a very serious mistake - a mistake which could prove fatal.
"This campaign is not over."


text: Accumulated evidence of substantial iatrogenic HIV transmission ignored and mischaracterized Devon Brewer, Interdisciplinary Scientific Research 30 June 2011 Mah and Shelton [1] seek to defend the hypothesis that sex partner concurrency spawned generalized HIV epidemics. Regrettably, they ignore and mischaracterize major relevant evidence, rendering their argument moot. Mah and Shelton claim "critics of concurrency have not proposed plausible alternative explanations for why the explosive generalized epidemics occurred" (p. 3). Actually, a decade ago, we highlighted the fact that Africans in cities with high HIV prevalences reported low rates of concurrency and those in cities with low HIV prevalences reported higher rates of concurrency [2-3]. We suggested then, and in scores of publications since [4], that iatrogenic transmission through blood exposures may underlie generalized HIV epidemics in Africa and elsewhere, and provided evidence consistent with that notion. Mah and Shelton further assert that "notably, while non-sexual transmission (i.e., iatrogenic or parenteral) likely contributes some new infections in generalized epidemics, empirical evidence continues to mount that non-sexual transmission is not the major contributor of new infections in these epidemics" (p. 5). None of the sources Mah and Shelton cite present any results of studies with comprehensive assessment of both sexual and non-sexual exposures to HIV. It is impossible to know whether a potential mode of transmission is involved without assessing it. Presumptions are not data. However, a growing body of research points to substantial iatrogenic HIV transmission at sites throughout sub-Saharan Africa. In these studies, researchers eliminated or controlled for sexual exposures as possible factors related to HIV infection. These researchers have found that a range of blood exposures are associated with incident or prevalent HIV infection, including medical injections [5-6], tetanus toxoid vaccination [7-9], male and female circumcision [10-11], blood transfusion [12], and diverse blood exposures in healthcare and cosmetic care [13-15]. Also, there are significant rates of horizontally acquired HIV infection in national probability samples of children under age 5 in Mozambique, Swaziland, and Uganda [14,16-18]. Moreover, Africans who are aware of blood-borne HIV risks are less likely to be infected than those who are unaware [19]. HIV prevalences are highest in countries (southern and east Africa) where few adults know about blood-borne risks and where prevention campaigns (including many funded by USAID) omit information about such risks. To determine modes of HIV transmission with confidence, researchers must assess blood and sexual exposures comprehensively in incident HIV cases and controls, trace their contacts corresponding to such exposures, and sequence the DNA in infected persons' HIV isolates [20-22]. Until such investigations are completed, it is unscientific, blind prejudice to claim, as Mah and Shelton do, that blood exposures are not significant routes of HIV transmission in sub-Saharan Africa.

Though many people gear up to work on their gardens in the spring, fall is actually an ideal time for yard work. Here are a few ideas for bringing your garden to life in the fall without polluting the environment or wasting materials.
Choose hand-powered or electric tools over gas. As homeowners tackle the job of raking leaves, clearing gardens, and cleaning yard debris, they create a lot of noise and pollution. In fact, one gas-powered leaf blower can emit as much pollution as 80 cars! Instead of leaf blowers, use rakes; use hand-powered garden trimmers, and a push mower if your yard allows it. If you must use motorized tools, go for electric over gas-powered.
Plant trees. By the time autumn rolls around, summer heat waves are long past, rainfall is usually more plentiful, and new trees, bushes and flowers have a greater chance of surviving than they would if they were planted during a hotter season. Choose species native to your area as well as those that are drought and pest resistant and can grow in the kind of soil and amount of sunlight available on your property.
Fertilize organically. When preparing your soil for next year, add organic, slow-release fertilizers that will help enhance your soil over time. These fertilizers are made of natural materials, contain vital nutrients to help your plants grow, and prevent plants from getting nitrogen. Most garden stores today carry a wide variety of organic fertilizers; many catalog companies also sell organic products, or you can use the compost you processed yourself...
Compost your leaves. Falling leaves are beautiful and valuable. Instead of bagging leaves and leaving them out with the trash, collect and compost them to create nutrient-rich, organic soil that will be ready for use by the spring. Check out our tips on composting here.
Can and store summer's bounty. Canning is a time-honored way to ensure that your garden keeps giving all year round. Imagine eating soups, jellies, herbs, and salsas from your own garden all winter long! Here are some instructions to get you started.

When you love someone
© Fiction Writer Anthony Darden
Love may be the anchor, but devotion, communication,
honesty, and sincerity is its strength, power, and glory.
Understanding yourself, and coming to understand the one you love, is very important in building a relationship that is going to last and stand the test of time. There are so many deterrents in building a long lasting relationship, or for that fact, being in a relationship. Relationships are hard. They are trying. They are testy. Though, if you are sincere and honest, a secure and wholesome relationship can bloom into the most beautiful thing in the world. When you love someone, and honest about it, they are your first priority, over everything and everyone. If you are sincere in building a long lasting relationship that is strong, can stand against adversity, and rise to the occasion when needed, then how you develop your relationship is very important to your strength and weaknesses. Only a fool would believe love maintains and blooms without preservation, structure, and control. Finding someone and falling for them is easy. It's what comes after. Love may be the anchor, but devotion, communication, honesty, and sincerity is its strength, power, and glory.
When finding someone you love, you must be honest with yourself. You must weigh out all the values and how this person reflects in your life. Relationships are a state of coexistence. When you bring someone into your life, you not only have to think about what they mean to you and your family, but what that existence means in enhancing your life and contributing to your happiness, growth, and prosperity. If someone is self consuming, doesn't contribute, and find they need to change you, to make you perfect, then they are not in love with you, but of a vision they believe they can inspire, that, in the end, is false hopes and unacceptability to who you really are. Someone that is in love with you, will find change on their own. If change is needed to advance forward, they will make the gallant effort to secure the strength and power of their love. They will do it out of respect, admiration, and real sincerity in loving you.
Communication is vital. It is the one thing that will determine if you succeed or fail. Communication is easy when going into a relationship. Your heart is open with joy, and everything is laid out on the table. It is when that communication goes astray, is time to start worrying. Something is amok. And if you don't take control of it, you'll find lack of communication will not only frustrate you, but will make you withdrawn, reserved, and uninspired. Communication is the stepping stones in building goals, understanding the changing tides, and knowing where each other stands at all times. Communication also builds security and at the same time, gives one the need to surrender their heart in acceptance to respect and affirmation.
Devotion is prosperity. If you are not devoted wholehearted to the one you love, it is time to get out while you are ahead. If you cannot be honest and sincere, or they with you, it is time to get out and move on. Don't fool yourself with illogical reasoning. It never works out in the end. If you find lack of communication, on either side, then a rude awaking will be knocking at your door. Devotion demand one thing, all of you or nothing. That is it's greatest and most profound strength. That is where power derives from. It is the sole generator that can turn two into one in reaching their goal of harmony and accepting each other in heart, mind, body, and soul.

The pair are often seen getting on out of their cars but at Oulton Park recently things certainly intensified between them on track as they fought one another tooth and nail for victory in the two races there.
Both ultimately came away with a win and Bushell arrives at Croft with a 14-point buffer to Whorton-Eales at the top of the table.
"I suppose I'm looking forward to rekindling my love with Ant this weekend," commented Bushell. "I wouldn't call it 'bromance'; in fact it's a bit 'Marmitey'. We do get on fine but you can't deny there has been a bit of fire between us on track. Nothing malicious – it's just hard racing."
Bushell says leading the championship at this stage of the season is unfamiliar territory to him – in 2014 when he won the title he did not hit the front until the very last rounds. Furthermore Croft's rounds in 2014 were among his worst that season and last year, when racing in the Dunlop British Touring Car Championship, the circuit struck him another blow…
"My shoulder popped out of its joint as I turned the steering wheel in the hairpin!" he recalled. "It's not been the best for me but then again neither had Oulton until two weeks ago. I've not done any pre-season testing there so I'm keeping an open mind.
"I'm definitely back to really enjoying my motor sport now. This year has reminded me why I started racing in the first place – particularly when I'm in a position to challenge for decent results.
"I know I'm capable of winning the title but, yes, this is slightly new territory for me in that I'm leading before we're even at the half-way stage. In 2014 I'd had such a bad first half of the season I actually gave up thinking about winning it which probably helped and it just came to me."
Asked what he's finding the hardest challenge at the moment, though, the reply is perhaps obvious.
"Racing against Ant!" said Bushell. "In qualifying I seem to have the speed but I've had a year away from the UK Clio Cup whereas Ant is still fresh from taking on (Ash) Hand and Ashley (Sutton) last season so maybe he's a bit sharper.
"It's an issue I need to address and I don't mind admitting I did buckle under pressure with him right on my rear bumper in that second race at Oulton."

Jacopo Bellini's eldest son, Gentile (1429-1507), was taught painting in the workshop of his father. He had no shortage of commissions, his talent as a portraitist revealed itself at an early age. Gentile's career was spectacular. In 1469, he was appointed count palatine by Emperor Frederick III, and in 1479, at the age of fifty, the Republic of Venice sent him to Constantinople to paint the portrait of Sultan Mehmet II: a great honor. The famous portrait of this oriental monarch, conqueror of Byzantium, is now in the National Gallery, London. Mehmet "…could hardly understand," wrote Vasari, "… how any mortal could possess the, as it were, divine skill of imitating nature so vividly." Bellini returned, a whole year later, piled high with gifts and honors, including the title of "bey" (knight).

Jo Wok, a Thai restaurant in Sandusky that is open year-round, is located in the plaza next to Sandusky High School. It's next to a video rental place and a TSC.
709 West Perkins Avenue # 8 Sandusky, OH 44870
The people working at Jo Wok are incredibly sweet, though the last few times I went in there it took me a little while to explain what vegan meant. They had vegetarian down 100%, but vegan was a little iffy. So, while I was eating my massaman curry I decided to write it down for them. After a short explanation, the lady working seemed very excited and immediately taped it to the wall beside the register! Jo Wok is now vegan-friendly!
Every time I've been there I have ordered the "Yum Apple", seaweed salad and massaman curry.
"Yum Apple" is comprised of green apples, sliced into matchsticks then covered with a few peanuts, coconut shavings, cilantro and a spicy chile-sauce. Make sure you specify that you don't want fish sauce, as I believe a regular order contains.
The seaweed salad is presented on a bed of cucumber and a few carrot shavings.
The massaman curry is pictured below. It has great flavor, but is more of a cheat meal for me. They fry the tofu. I haven't asked for it non-fried yet, primarily because I always forget, but if you like it that way, it's done very well.
A friend of mine ordered Pad Thai, vegan. It was just noodles, so I would specify that you want vegetable pad thai.
Again, they are very sweet people and very accommodating, as long as they understand what you're saying. But, they have a guide now!
When ordering Thai food:
- No Fish Sauce
- No Meat
- No Seafood
- No Cream Cheese (she suggested crab rangoon with no crab)
- No eggs
- No dairy
- No butter
- No cream
- No chicken broth
I specify each of these things. Yes, I know it seems redundant, but a lot of times people (even fluent English-speaking-people) don't make the connection between chicken and chicken broth.

Sous-Marin. The Fallen Angel graciously glides over his treasures. Those beautiful, lustful bodies that are able to freely enjoy themselves. No feelings of guilt, no remorse but pure Evil: to go beyond petty morals. The transgression of the Law is exactly that which sweetens the Sin. Colours of gold surround the Last Men and Women, and in the background one can see an air of absinthe as if this painting wanted to be a beacon of inspiration.
The Symbolist painter Jean Delville has truly been able to create an exquisite picture of Hell, the stage of the Nigredo where our damned souls reside and find infinite pleasure in the Prima Materia. The painting radiates no suffering only surreal Beauty and a passionate energy.

November 03, 2016 20:35 ET
CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - November 03, 2016) - Chicago resident, and renowned angel investor, Alan Matthew was the featured guest on a recent edition of the Global Startup Movement podcast.
The podcast was broadcast and heard worldwide on iTunes and Soundcloud. Global Startup Movement is hosted by Andrew Berkowitz and features one-on-one, in-depth interviews with entrepreneurs around the planet.
Matthew, CEO of Chicago-based Tribal Ventures, candidly shared his motivation for investing in Windy City start-ups. "I love giving people a chance. I'm drawn to people who have the desire (to succeed) and are willing to do their homework," he said.
While talking about the most important characteristics necessary for business success, Matthew spoke of lessons he learned while working with the shamans in the Amazon, long before doing so became hip.
"When we do ceremony with the shamans, everything is based upon trust. And that's how it is in business. You have to have a good sense of who your partner is because (going into business) is a deep dive into your self-conscience and it reveals a lot about yourself. Basically, it comes down to being a good person, doing your homework, doing your job and being all-in."
When asked about when he prefers to become involved with a business or idea, Matthew said, "I have an affinity for being involved in the early stages. That's probably because I've always been interested in seeing what's (coming) next."
Mostly a lone-wolf type of angel investor, Matthew is a Chicago devotee who was quick to express his affinity and devotion to his hometown. "I love Chicago; in fact, I could probably be a salesperson for the city," he said. "Our ecosystem is in very good shape: our transportation is good, our rents are reasonable and there are a lot of resources here."
About Tribal Ventures: With offices in Chicago, Tribal Ventures provides investor, mentor and expert advice services to Chicago area startup businesses.

Coach Matt Kozel
ATTENDANCE: Attendance is very important. Please notify me as soon as possible if your son will miss, or be late to, practices or games. If your son is late to practice, I expect him to run out onto the field to join the team. He won't be scolded for being late, but I want him to hustle to join the team with energy and be ready to work. It's important to note that each player will be coached to play a specific position(s), so if they aren't there, it affects the entire team and practice. Please do your best to get your son there, on time, and I will do my best to end the practices on time.
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT: We are a feeder system for the high school coach. We will be developing the kids to play within his system. If we start this now, it'll make us much more competitive when the boys are in high school.
GAME DAY: Arrive 1 HOUR prior to the game. Please limit player distractions during the game. Parents and siblings should stay back away from the players along the sidelines so they stay engaged in the game. Cheering is always encouraged, but please save conversation/discussion for after the game.
RESPECT: Please show respect for the referees and opposing players. If we want our team to be respectful and classy, parents and coaches need to lead by example. Parents, players, or coaches yelling at referees are a huge distraction and yelling at them will accomplish nothing. We are there to support the team and the best way is to do that is to be positive and encouraging of all players.
Football is a very emotional sport. There are lots of ups and downs. Coaches will mess up, ref's will make bad calls, mistakes will happen by all. That's just the way it is. Nobody wants to see this team succeed more than I do, so if there comes a time that you have any concerns/complaints of any sort I want to know what they are. However, I asked that you please give me 24 hrs after a game as I need that time to think about how the game was managed and what I could've done differently.
***Players play, Coaches coach, Parents cheer***
PLAYTIME: We are now playing in a league with no minimum playtime requirements. Playtime will be determined by effort, attendance, attitude, and ability. I will do my best to provide playtime for all, however, we ARE playing to win and it cannot be guaranteed. My goal is to build and encourage a team atmosphere where the players understand that we win and lose together regardless of individual playtime.
Please keep in mind that the game(s) each week represents less than 10% of their total weekly football experience.

Food poisoning in the campaign - what to do?
Food poisoning or food intoxication - acute, rarely chronic diseases that result from eating, massed with pathogenic microorganisms and their toxins, or other substances of a non-microbial nature. Infection with pathogenic microorganisms (foodborne infection) is observed more often than poisoning with natural or chemical toxins (food intoxication). Poisonings are characterized by a picture of acute gastroenteritis and intoxication.
Clinical manifestations of poisoning are often characterized by disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (abdominal pain, vomiting, stool disorders, general malaise). However, in a number of cases, these symptoms are absent (with botulism, lead poisoning, etc.). Food poisoning is characterized by a sudden onset and a short course. In cases of prolonged consumption of food products containing harmful substances, food poisoning can also proceed as a chronic disease.
The human body is a rather fragile mechanism, which is extremely easy to spoil or break. But if in the city in case of illness you can just go to the doctor or call an ambulance, then in a multi-day hike you have to count exclusively on your strengths and your knowledge. Therefore, it is much easier and more convenient to prevent health problems. Avoid hypothermia and trauma, protect yourself from ticks and mosquitoes, there are no suspicious roots and no less suspicious-looking sausage. But no matter how careful you are, accidents still happen. So, what if someone else got poisoned in the campaign?
Food Poisoning - Diagnosis
First, we need to determine that we are dealing with food poisoning. Typical symptoms are:
- nausea and multiple vomiting;
- diarrhea;
- weakness and dizziness;
- a temperature increase is possible;
- painful spasms in the stomach.
All this does not begin immediately after eating, but after a while. Minimum - half an hour. The maximum is the next day. And on the average - 4-6 hours. This deadline, as a rule, is enough to determine the cause of poisoning. You need to do this immediately, because the rapid identification of the infectious agent will help prevent new poisoning. In addition, this will determine whether we are dealing with food poisoning or toxic poisoning. Actions in each of these cases are different. If it is possible to fight with a toxicoinfection on its own, then chemical toxins beat the liver so severely that it can be impossible to save a person without qualified help.
Good. The source was found and eliminated. Poisoning is. What's next?
Food Poisoning - First Aid
It does not matter how much time has passed! The first thing to do is wash the stomach with plenty of water. If you have salt at hand (2 tablespoons for 5 liters), soda (1 teaspoon per liter) or potassium permanganate (a weak, pale pink solution, it is weak - it was not enough only to mucus burn with high concentration) - excellent. In principle, even a weak soap solution is suitable for these purposes. You need at least 10 liters of warm water. It's warm, so as not to overcool the body. It will be optimal to make a halt near a source of clean water and organize large-scale boiling it - there was not enough yet to introduce into the weakened organism an infection that can live in fresh water bodies. If the inventory has any water filters - even better. Significant savings in precious time.
So. Rinse the stomach until the rinsing water is completely clean. At a time, you need to drink up to 5 glasses of water, then - cause vomiting, pressing on the root of the tongue. All right, all washed. Next comes the queue of enterosorbents . A banal activated charcoal or a more modern Enterosgel will absorb the remains of toxins and prevent their further ingestion into the bloodstream. These drugs are simply required to be present in any outpatient drugstores. If there are no drugs, there is another way - cook a thick rice broth, it acts as a whole, as well as Enterosgel, also nutritious. Well, take the pill (1 tablet per 10 kg of weight) or gel (1 tablespoon), drink with warm water, repeat the procedure several times (in the case of a decoction, you can, of course, do not drink anything). Wrapped the victim with a blanket and put in a convenient place.
Now at least 2 days will have to deal with the consequences, before the victim can at least somehow continue the path. The first day he should not eat anything at all - only boiled water, not strong (preferably green) tea and mors. Or ... the same rice decoction, which, in general, is the same rice as the nutrient, so that with hunger, in general, if there is rice and the ability to cook it, the poisoned will not die. Only the rice itself does not need to be fed - only liquid food is shown. From the second day you can give broths.
If there are any salt solutions in the medicine cabinet - for example, Regidron or something like that (they are released in the form of powders, so they weigh a little) - even better. An excellent way to combat the loss of salts and electrolytes. Give from the calculation of 10 ml per 1 kg of mass after each liquid stool. Drink slowly - at least an hour's time, and preferably three. It is necessary that salts and electrolytes are fully absorbed by the body. If you calculate milliliters and a lot of laziness, try just to dilute such a concentrate, which the patient will not refuse to accept because of a specific taste. According to the instruction of Regidron, 1 packet per 1 liter of water is diluted. In general, Regidron helps in any scenario, and you can drink it with poisonings, in general, and instead of rice decoction. If you stretch a liter of Regidron with interruptions of green tea for the whole day, there is no desire at all.
Also, the victim should be provided with complete peace and an opportunity to restore strength. Well, in principle, everything. Further treatment depends on the condition of the first aid kit. Well, if there are any hepatoprotectors - the same Essentiale Forte - 2 capsules 3 times a day. Any toxins hit the liver - the earlier you start to fight their effects - the better. If there is Mezim or other drugs that normalize digestion and intestinal microflora - excellent.
Food Poisoning - Complications
In mild cases, the patient does not even need these two days of rest. Unfortunately, everything can be much worse and more dangerous. If the following symptoms are observed:
- pain in the liver, kidneys, pelvic organs;
- a high temperature that does not fall off for a long time;
- vomiting and diarrhea, lasting more than two days,
it is best to deliver the victim as soon as possible to the hospital and provide him with qualified medical care. How to do this is another matter. About the transportation of victims in the field, we will certainly write, but already in another article.
Separately, I would like to talk about another, extremely dangerous disease, which at first can easily be confused with the usual food poisoning - about botulism. The causative agent is an anaerobic bacterium Clostridium botulinum . The source is poor-quality canned food. And since in the ration of tourists it is the canned food that occupies the leading place, then the risk of infection is higher. The beginning is similar - vomiting, weakness, temperature, diarrhea. But as the gastrointestinal symptoms subside, a new, paralytic, appears. Visual disturbance, manifested by "flies" before the eyes and poor discrimination of nearby objects; full atony of the intestine, severe dry mouth, partial paralysis of the facial musculature while maintaining sensitivity. Paralysis also affects the muscles of the diaphragm and intercostal musculature. There is no need to specify what it can lead to. It is impossible to treat it in the field - it requires a systematic introduction of antitoxic serum, intravenous electrolytes and artificial ventilation of the lungs. Therefore, it is extremely important to recognize botulism on time in the initial stages and to deliver the patient as soon as possible to the hospital.
In any situation, the main thing is not to panic. Yes, food poisoning is an extremely unpleasant thing. Yes, it requires treatment. Yes, it can be life-threatening. Yes, it detains the group. But if everything is done accurately and accurately - unpleasant consequences can be avoided. It will take some redistribution of daily rations, considering 2 days of downtime and a lightweight diet for the victim. Fortunately, you can safely cut them, because the remaining members of the group will not be subjected to physical stress. Stay near the reservoir can also be used - fishing and collecting edible plants will help to compensate for food losses. If you are dealing with botulism or various complications, then call the Emergency Ministry boldly. Your situation just falls under the criteria of "emergency, associated with a threat to human life . " Remember, whatever happens does not panic . Accurate, prudent and competent actions - that's what can save human life and health.

Q: Hello. I have been reading through your blog, and I see that you have addressed this question multiple times, but I still have difficulty with understanding it. You stated that, in the Absolute, you are in Gratitude for having been Created. How can God/Self be in Gratitude for Itself? How can the Eternal Self have been Created by Itself?
Thank you for any answer you may provide.
A: Thank-you for the questions, I am more than happy to respond. 🙂
Beingness is God extending His Self – extending His Light – and rejoicing in its simultaneous return – your Awareness, your Beingness, is God's Light, which qualitatively is Known as a nonlinear interchange of Pure Love between Creator and Creation. It is a dynamic interchange within Undivided Oneness.
Gratitude is God's "response" to the return of His Light to rest in Him; the Absolute state is nonlinear Knowledge of Oneness that is an essential interchange of nonlinear "love" extended and "gratitude" for its return.
One has the free will to Know God directly, or manifest other desires and seem to be fulfilled by them. At rest in Source, one is One with Creator as only the Light, Knowing only of Creation and relationship to Creator.
God's Essential Awareness is extended and returned to Him as His Own "Son". Everything in the universe is based on this intimacy between God and the Awareness He extends that returns to Him. Everything is God. Everything comes from God and returns to God.
Consciousness of being separate from God is the illusion the ego presents. The veil of Maya is a mind trick. There is nothing different from one's being and God being. Awareness is absolutely precious – created by God by the unconditional extension of it, it is for God's own Supreme Pleasure as it is freely returned.
Think of someone you have wholly desired to be with, and the gratitude you know when you are with that person. The sense of desire fulfillment is a simulation or reflection of the relationship you have directly with God at the level of creation. At this level you will Know that God created only you; you are "His One Son in whom He is well-pleased"; your gratitude for being created is God's own for creating you.
God is – God has no beginning, no end. In God's Cosmic Play, under the veil of Maya, through the senses that cannot perceive Knowledge, it seems as if there are many divided from Oneness and desiring infinite different things, yet in Reality, there is only God and you, His Son, in an interchange of perfect desire fulfillment forever.

How to Use the Latest Social Site to Join the Social Networking Race
Pinterest is said to be women's domain. It is estimated that for every 10 users, there are eight females and two males. Although women dominate this newcomer social media site, Pinterest is a leading referral traffic generator for retail brands. In the data gathered by TechCrunch in March 2012, Pinterest brought 3.6% of referrals while Twitter was barely ahead by 0.1%. This is particularly surprising as Pinterest is relatively new to the social networking race, while Twitter is an expert at it since 2006.
Businesses are interested in establishing their online presence through Pinterest because of the level of engagement users invest on this site. An increasing number of visitors go to Pinterest every month, not only because of the novelty it offers, but also the rich content that can be found here. It is also different from other visual sites as Pinterest shows all its content on the home page. All the pinboards are there, allowing you to click and see the pins inside. The interface is easy to customize, which makes it very attractive for users who want to personalize their page.
Excited to use Pinterest for your marketing campaign? Joined Pinterest but don't know how to fully unlock its potential for your business? Here are some tips from a Synecore Technologies infographic:
It is best to pin on 2 pm to 4 pm on Thursdays and 1 am to 8 pm on Saturdays. Pinning on Thursday afternoons allows you much time in choosing which pins to post just in time for the online traffic rush on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Users are more active during these days because these are common rest days, especially for the working population.
What posts do you pin?
First things to consider are well-taken pictures of your products. If you don't want to hire a professional photographer, learn how to take good pictures and take some creative shots of your own merchandise. With enough practice, you'll become adept in presenting your goods in a pretty manner that will attract many sets of eyeballs.
Pinterest users love it when a business is very engaging. Bring your business closer to your followers with pictures of your workplace and staff. Take pictures of how your employees create and prepare your goods. Have old photos of last year's thrilling team building activity? Show them off to the public. This will be particularly fascinating for followers who are great fans of your business. They naturally want to know more about your business, and this type of posts will further endear them to you.
Infographics are also great ideas. According to Wikipedia, these are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. This allows people to quickly grasp complex ideas because of the clear way the facts are shown. If you need to inform your customers about something complicated, an infographics will be effective in conveying what you need them to learn.
Want to drive more traffic to your blog? Try posting snippets from your articles. Pick out the most interesting statements to prick their interest. Add a link to your blog or place the web address on the end of each snapshot of the blog post so followers can check out your posts. You can also post your resource pages or references. This will help your readers when they need to check some information they see on your posts.
Post videos on your Pinterest page. Make sure the ones you add to your account are short, well-shot and appealing enough to make the viewers watch up to the last second. Consult a professional if you're not sure how to create videos that would make customers want to replay. Keep in mind that you have to make your videos 'short and sweet' to sustain interest.
Customer testimonials can also be posted. In fact, it would be better if you ask pictures from your customers showing them using your product or enjoying a service you provide. The caption will serve as their endorsement on how fine your merchandise is or how satisfied they are with your services. This will serve as proof for your claims about striving for 'customer satisfaction,' 'excellent craftsmanship,' and 'reliable customer service.'
One more thing to post can be your proof of certifications, association memberships and other credentials that prove your qualification. For example, you're a general contractor who wants to get more building commissions for new homes, cottages and residential domiciles. Create a pinboard where can post pictures of your state license/s, organizations and community guilds which you are a member of. You can also post recommendations from your professional associations, which will add to your credibility.
