The New US President Reveals the True Nature of America
The following is the full text of the speech delivered on February 7, 2017 by Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting with commanders and personnel of the Air Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army. The meeting was held in Imam Khomeini (r.a.) Hussainiyah on the occasion of the historic pledge of allegiance of Air Force officers to Imam Khomeini (r.a.) on the 19th of Bahman of 1357.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and greetings be our Master and Prophet, Muhammad, and upon his immaculate and infallible household, especially the one remaining with Allah on earth.
You are quite welcome, dear brothers and diligent, active and reputable personnel of the Air Force of the Islamic Republic. And this occasion is the main cause for the reputability, in the real sense of the word, of the Air Force of the Islamic Republic. I thank the chorus for their excellent performance and for the meaningful and content-rich song that they sang.
Well, it is many years now that we have been holding meetings, discussing and speaking about the very important event of the 19th of Bahman of 1357. However, this is an infinite topic in the true sense of the word. Many things have been said in this regard, but there are still more things to say. As a poet said, "One can speak for a lifetime about the beauty of the beloved's hair" [from a poem by Saeb Tabrizi].
The event of the 19th of Bahman of 1357 was a determining event. During the time of taghut, the air force was in fact the closest division of the army to the taghuti apparatus and to the political system that was dependent on the U.S. At that time, none of the other divisions of the army were trusted by the taghuti regime as much as the air force. However the regime received a heavy blow from the same division. When I say a heavy blow, it was the case in the true sense of the word.
Despite the discipline and atmosphere that they had created for the army, all of a sudden a division of the same army – the sensitive division of the air force which was trusted by the regime to a great extent – pledged their allegiance to the Imam and Leader of the Revolution (r.a.). And they did not do so secretly, rather they did it in broad daylight by holding up their identification cards! I was present there. I saw them on Iran Street. They were going to the school where Imam (r.a.) was staying. They were moving in groups behind one another just like a military maneuver, chanting slogans and holding up their identification cards. It was an astonishing event!
It was the exact embodiment of the following ayah: "But the wrath of God came to them from quarters from which they little expected" [The Holy Quran, 59: 2]. The taghuti regime received a blow from a place that they did not expect at all. They had thought of all possibilities in their calculations except for this one. And it was this event, the remotest possibility, which took place. Imagine that the air force of the army suddenly goes and pledges its allegiance to the Imam and Leader of the Revolution alongside the people despite the existence of a dependent commander and various other dependences – numerous dependences in the area of ammunitions, equipment, training and so on. That was an astonishing blow, one that they did not expect at all.
We did not expect it either. Revolutionaries and believers on the other side did not expect it either. That was in fact unimaginable provision: "And for those who fear God, He ever prepares a way out and He provides for him from sources he never could imagine" [The Holy Quran, 65: 2-3]. Sometimes, we receive help, assistance and blood donation from places we could never imagine and from areas that did not exist in our calculations at all. For the revolutionary front too, that assistance from the air force was like "unimaginable provision". We did not count on it. In fact, the thought that some people inside the army might enter the arena did not cross the minds of us people of Iran, fighters, revolutionaries and our magnanimous Imam (r.a.) himself.
Of course, before that in Mashhad, I had close relations with some individuals in the army and I knew that they shared our beliefs. In Tehran too, there were some people in the army who had close relations with some of my friends. Such connections existed, but the idea that such a large group would spark an uprising with that great and noticeable movement was truly an "unimaginable provision". It was not calculable in any way.
Let us learn a lesson here: you should always think of "unimaginable provision" in your calculations even if that thinking is brief and short. There is no doubt that logical and material calculations are influential and necessary. There is no part of Islamic teaching that says to us that we should not take logical, reasonable and material calculations into account- this is not the case and we should take those calculations into account- but you should also create a space for calculations beyond material ones and beyond what crosses our minds. This is "unimaginable provision". This is what has not been calculated before and what will reach us. This should exist in all of our calculations.
This should be observed, thought of and expected in all the affairs that the believing side conducts. We read in a prayer, "Oh God, You Who open a gate in times of calamity in a way that it does not cross the minds of any human" [Qisas ul-Anbiya, page 363]. When things become difficult and when there is apparently a dead end, Allah the Exalted sometimes opens a space from the corner of that dead end "in a way that that it does not cross the minds of any human." Such events exist. One example is the imposed war.
The imposed war began while there was a huge gap between us and that aggressor – the ba'athist regime of Saddam – in terms of resources, number and organization. He was prepared, he was fully equipped, he had solid organization, and he had clear-cut troops. Both his air and ground forces were prepared. His defense, his logistics, his engineering, his various divisions and everything that he had were prepared. That was while we had problems in those areas. We had problems in the area of equipment, manpower, engineering, logistics, ammunitions and resources.
Once, in a 19th of Bahman meeting [delivered on February 8, 1992], I said that the commander of our Air Force in those days presented a list of usable planes to me and said, "At most, in the course of 17, 18 days, all our planes will be unable to fly and their flight will be cut off because they need parts and components." The last usable plane was C-130. During the first, second and third days, F-5, F-4, F-14 and other such planes should have been decommissioned. The only plane that would be able to work for 15, 20 days was the C-130 which was a transport plane. We had some C-130s. In those days, we were thinking of such matters, but God opened a gate. Our Air Force continued to be active and it worked hard until the end of the war.
The sentence "Oh God, You Who open a gate in times of calamity in a way that it does not cross the minds of any human" means this. "Unimaginable provision" means this. You should consider this in your calculations. If we are pious and if we use reason in the shade of reliance on and belief in God, then that gate will open to us. This does not mean that we should abandon reason and forsake material calculations. This is not what I am saying. All these things are necessary and we have always placed great emphasis on them, but as well as reason, you should open a space for divine assistance if you are individuals who rely on God and who believe in Him. During the past 37, 38 years that have passed from the Revolution, this has always been the case on all issues and we have always witnessed divine assistance. I will say a few things about the Air Force of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army and after that, I will return to this topic again.
The Air Force has passed good tests even after that event. When I look back, I see that the first person who helped foil the coup d'état that they had launched before the beginning of the imposed war – a coup d'état launched by elements from the Air Force, the Ground Force, civilians and others – was an Air Force officer, a pilot. He came to me and reported what he had seen. This was how the Air Force was informed of the plot and they prepared themselves for it. So, it was an Air Force member who foiled a grave move which was supposed to be made in Shahid Nojeh Air Base in Hamedan and which was going to be extended to Tehran and other cities. I do not forget this. The Islamic Republic will not forget this kindness, this assistance and this great service.
The first place in the army that embarked on the jihad of component manufacture – which was an endeavor to construct – was the Air Force. Before that, there was no construction in the Air Force. They would not allow our technical staff to know complicated parts and components. The jihad of component manufacture began in the Air Force and they really referred to it as jihad. They really made a jihadi move. So, the first place was the Air Force. Of course, other divisions of the army began this as well, but the Air Force was the forerunner and the pioneer.
Since the first day of the imposed war, it was the Air Force's flights that boosted the morale of the people. At that time, I was a member of the Majlis. When I went to the Majlis and reported the number of sorties that they had carried out, everyone's mouth was left open. They carried out so many flights with that magnitude! And the news spread throughout the country and the people felt it. Such was the performance of the Air Force in the course of time. The Air Force played a determining role in the various operations that the Islamic Republic of Iran Army and the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps conducted – in particular, important operations such as Val Fajr-8, Karbala-5 and other such operations during which important and great tasks were accomplished.
God's mercy be upon Shahid Sattari who was an aerial defense officer at the time. He fulfilled the duty of defense during Operation Val Fajr-8 at such a fast rate and with such a serious approach that everyone was impressed. The enemy was impressed as well because they managed to strike so many planes! The Air Force is a reputable force. And from then on too, you have continued to work. And you should continue to work dear youth.
You should work, think, take action, carry out your duties, fill the voids, strengthen management and increase construction in the Air Force as much as you can. I am aware of your limitations. Your limitations are the limitations of the country. You should make up for these limitations and voids with your firm human determination, knowledge, piety and reliance on divine kindness. And these limitations can be made up for, as many of them have been made up for until today.
Well, it is the role of reliance on Allah the Exalted that brings us "unimaginable provision". How can this be achieved? This can be achieved when we employ reason in the shade of reliance on Allah the Exalted. However, if the opposite happens and if we employ reason in the shade of trust in shaitans, things will shape up otherwise. A Quranic ayah in holy Sura Noor says, "Their deeds are like a mirage in sandy deserts, which [the man parched with thirst] mistakes for water." Like a mirage, a thirsty individual mistakes a piece of dry land for water. Later on when he gets closer, he sees that there is nothing: "Until when he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing: But he finds God ever with him" [The Holy Quran, 24: 39]. He sees that there is nothing. Pinning one's hope on shaitans is like this. Pinning one's hope on materialistic and satanic powers is like this.
Employing reason and adopting a reasonable approach on different matters – matters related to diplomacy, management of domestic affairs in the country, resource provision, knowledge, industry and other such areas – is a necessary task, but trusting shaitans and trusting those individuals who are opposed to the essence of your existence is a grave mistake. A power that cannot endure and accept the essence of the Islamic Republic's existence and the essence of Islamic power cannot be trusted and relied on: "Like a mirage in sandy deserts, which [the man parched with thirst] mistakes for water."
This is a statement that each and every one of us should keep in mind forever. Each and every person among the people of Iran should keep this in mind. You should try and work hard, you should show innovation, you should bring your real and God-given power to the arena and you should move forward with reliance on God and on His assistance and then God will help. However, if you sit and wait for Shaitan – the Great Shaitan – to come and help, then the ayah "Like a mirage in sandy deserts, which [the man parched with thirst] mistakes for water" will come true because no good comes from Shaitan.
Now, the gentleman that has recently taken office in the United States says that we should be grateful to America and to Obama administration. Why should we be grateful? We are not grateful at all. He was part of the same system that imposed those heavy sanctions on the people of Iran with the purpose of paralyzing the Islamic Republic and the Iranian nation. They hoped to paralyze us. Of course, their hope was not fulfilled and it will never be fulfilled because no enemy can paralyze Iran. He says that we should be grateful, but this is not the case and we are not grateful at all. Why should we be grateful? Because of sanctions? Because of creating DAESH? Because of setting fire to the region? They set Syria on fire. They set Iraq on fire. Why should we be grateful? Should we be grateful because of supporting the fitna that they created during the elections of the year 1388?
On the one hand, he wrote a letter to me expressing his respect, kindness and cooperation and on the other hand, he supported the seditionists openly saying to them that they had stood behind them, thus revealing their intention to provoke fitna in the country. This is the true face of hypocrisy. He was wearing that velvet glove to cover his iron fist. I have spoken about this many times.
We do not thank them at all. We know what they have done. We know what they were doing. He says that we should thank Obama and that we should be afraid of him [Donald Trump]! We are not afraid of you either! On the 22nd of Bahman, the people will respond to these threats and statements on the streets. They will show what position the people of Iran adopt in the face of threats. We are not afraid of anyone's threats either.
Yes, we thank to the mister who has taken office recently. We thank him because he saved us the trouble of revealing the true nature of America. What we having been saying repeatedly in the past 30-plus years – about political corruption, economic corruption, moral corruption and social corruption in the ruling apparatus of America – was fully displayed and manifested by that mister as he revealed the naked truth about America during and after the elections. In the present time too, he is showing the truth about America with the things that he is doing. He is showing what American human rights means- they put handcuffs on a five-year-old kid- this is their human rights!
The people of Iran have found their path. The people of Iran are pushing their movement forward and taking this path with logic, reason and reliance on God and they are doing so at great speed and in a self-confident manner. Today, the people of Iran trust themselves. Our youth are working with self-confidence. Our academic organizations and institutes are filled with new thoughts in the area of science. The same is true of the area of infrastructure and various other areas. Today, rationality is the first important issue in the country. However, it is accompanied by reliance on and trust in Allah the Exalted. We know that the people of Iran will surely achieve victory on this path and that they will attain their ideal results and desires.
God's mercy be upon our magnanimous Imam (r.a.) who clarified the truths about these matters for the people of Iran during the 10 years of his blessed life in the beginning of the Revolution. You should look at Imam's (r.a.) speeches. He identified the friends and the enemies. He knew who the people of Iran were and he identified the goals. The reason why Imam (r.a.) said over and over again that we should not trust Shaitan and the enemy and the reason why he said that we should beware of trusting the enemy was that he knew the enemy. Of course, we used to make these statements, but today they are on the screen and everyone is watching it. The behavior of that gentleman reveals what the true nature of America is and of the comments that they make about human rights, philanthropy and other such matters. This is what we can obtain from this situation and from deliberating on Imam's (r.a.) statements.
I hope that the Lord of the worlds bestows success on you. I hope that by Allah's favor, you youth will be prepared so that you can carry out the great task that befalls you. Your generation should carry out a great task. The generation before you accomplished great tasks, but there are other important tasks that you should accomplish. I hope that you will prepare yourselves with reliance on Allah the Exalted and that you will deliver this duty – which you have held in trust – to future generations.
Greetings be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings

Crazy Japan's Historical Distortion
Japan invaded and colonized China and Korea in the past.
During that time, it forced Korean and Chinese women into sexual slavery, but
the Japanese government is not showing any remorse for
it and is rather trying to erase the history.
Japan even revealed its stance that Comfort Women (sexual slavery)
the Japanese military carried out while occupying Korea (1910 ~ 1945)
is common in any wartime,
so that it does not need to apologize for it.
Japan is insane.
When Germany's Prime Minister Merkel visited Japan,
she directly sent a message to Japan's Prime Minister Abe to "repent history."
Professor Alexis Dudden from the Department of History
in the University of Connecticut in the U.S. said that
"I will not comply to Japanese extreme right wing's request to modify history."
A textbook published by McGraw-hill Education, a global publishing company,
mentions Japan's comfort women 8 times.
The Japanese government officially requested to modify it,
but McGraw-hill Education clarified its position that
"We are not changing it because it is a clear fact in history."

text: Celebrity Buzz Celebrity Buzz Entertainment Featured Stories Latest on POPSLAM Lifestyle Obama's Sex Life, Cocaine And Cheating Exposed In New Book 'Rising Star' By POPSLAM Media Staff Posted on May 4, 2017 7 min read 0 0 665,004 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr The sex secrets of the young Barack Obama have been exposed in a new biography book. Obama slept with his ex-girlfriend Genevieve Cook on their first date, before she wrote a poem about 'making love' and called their sex 'passionate', said the book 'Rising Star'. The two shared cocaine together, and later had sex with his best friend later. Another thing that the book notes is that Obama also considered a gay relationship back in college, proposed twice to another white girlfriend, and even cheated on Michelle with his ex during the first year of their relationship. His past is revealed in the 1,078-page biography Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama, to be published on May 9. 22-year-old Genevieve Cook was Obama's first post-college lover. The 1,078-page biography is the most complete and comprehensive work ever on Obama after stepping down the office. It was written by Pulitzer-prize winning biographer David Garrow, and also reveals how he asked another woman to marry him – and continued a relationship with her while dating Michelle, before she became his wife (which made his cheating even more apparent). Cook was 25 when she met 22-year-old Obama on New Year's Eve in 1983, which makes her 3 years his senior. Their first date involved more than a conversation. However, with Obama cooking at the West 114th Street apartment he shared with two other roommates. 'Then we went and talked in his bedroom. And then I spent the night. It all felt very inevitable,' she wrote in her memoir, revealed by Garrow. She spent the night again with him a few days later and thinks he was good in bed – even writing a poem to him saying: 'B. That's for you. F's for all the f***ing that we do.' Garrow also details what she said: 'Sexually he really wasn't very imaginative but he was comfortable. He was no kind of shrinking "can't handle it." Rising Star claims that Barack Obama (left) proposed to Sheila Miyoshi Jager (right) before he met Michelle. She also wrote in her diary about 'passionate sex', the book says. The couple also used drugs and Cook reveals that Obama was still a cocaine user when they were still together. He would spend time with other friends – Hasan Chandoo, Imad Hussain and Sohale Siddiqi, who he had been friends with at Occidental College, in Los Angeles – and Cook said the trio was into 'lots of cocaine'. Obama would party with three friends including Sohale Siddiqi (pictured) with whom he would do cocaine. Siddiqi, Hasan Chandoo, Imad Hussain took 'lots of cocaine'. The book also says that Cook and Obama would smoke pot but only at parties and records one time when during tension in their relationship she wrote in her diary that they went to a party and got 'high'. The couple split in June 1985, after a year and a half of being together. But she's still a part of his life – because she became involved with his friend Sohale in September of that year. She and Sohale did ecstasy together, and then had sex. When she wrote to Obama and told him, he replied: 'The news of Sohale and you did hurt.' Alex McNear, who is described as a 'beautiful blonde' who was a 'heartbreaker' for many students at Occidental College became his next girlfriend. One male student even said she was 'the most beautiful lesbian'. One close acquaintance told Garrow: 'The only woman he ever talked about screwing was some really hot blonde chick that he was still proud of. 'He was really proud that he'd banged some super-hot blonde from a super-rich family.' 🌈 Watch more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q22QyfwH9FU Want to stay updated with the biggest news?

Today and tomorrow is the annual gathering of Churchnet (originally known as the Baptist General Convention of Missouri). The keynote speaker at this year's gathering is John Upton, who is president of the Baptist World Alliance. This year's event is particularly exciting as it is also the 10th anniversary celebration. Word&Way recently had two good articles recognizing this milestone. One article examines the past ten years and the other article looks at present and future ministry goals. I have had the privilege of working for Churchnet for the past nine years (first as the Special Assistant to the Executive Director, then as the Communications Specialist, and now as the Editorial Assistant). It has been exciting to see the ministry work of the past ten years, and I am sure Churchnet will continue to share hope for many more years to come.

Poti is not only showed a belly to master is a gesture of deference to the United States attitude the Japanese negotiating team has showed it in the match-fixing negotiations "is predetermined".
Afternoon the 25th, negotiation meeting (TPP) Pacific Partnership Agreement, which was opened in Kota Kinabalu - Kota Kinabalu (East Malaysia) = Teraoka Hideki] of Malaysia was ended. Koji Tsuruoka chief negotiator and description "did not dare to volunteer to negotiate a pair of eleven (countries)" at a press conference after the closing. Suggesting that the eleven countries to join the United States and ahead, it was not asked to the exception of tariff elimination five important items such as rice. negotiating parties participating countries are puzzled in "Japan does not claim".
Mr. Tsuruoka stressed that "no one who does not know the position of Japan" in an interview. Received a description of the negotiations elapsed from participating countries in the "Japan Session", it was implied that you did not speak the idea of Japan's five important items. It is expected to be seen that it is consultation between the two countries for customs duties in the discussion of TPP is large, and has been determined to claim the "exception" chief negotiator is in an area gather and, not appropriate.
On the other hand, at a press conference after the closing, Jayashiri chief negotiators of the Presidency Malaysia description relates to the field of negotiations dealing with tariffs on industrial products such as agricultural products and that difficulties of "market access". Said, "In order to accelerate the negotiations, agreed to (making the) government negotiations (of countries) work Project". Seen and signed a discussion about such things that make up a time frame of up to settlement. The next meeting will be held in Brunei on 22 to 30 August.

It is a typical pattern of mass murder of Japan represented by Tsuyama incident that became a model for "eight grave village". You might think not a big city, why, and this incident is the idyllic countryside. However, the number of murder often urban but the occurrence ratio of per 10,000 population often suburbs.
In rural areas, I make a society rich human relations of mutual assistance. However, the relationship is twisted once, if you do not get away from there, it's nasty. If there is an awful experience the human mind, there is work to be not to think about it. However, it is not possible with the other that caused unpleasant, in an environment that must match the face every day and "do not think" that. Resentment deepens more I thought. It may occur if the region is not limited to the countryside, there is a rich human relations school with less number of people, companies, even in urban areas.
Mass murderer's terrible perpetrator, but the person thinks "I'm victims oppressed unfairly" he said. when emotions piled estimates, causing incident based on the idea "I'll make it to the end all," "lonely victim finally rising, make the with iron of justice" and at the end of the last. Tsuyama criminal incidents committed suicide, criminal Ikeda small incident wanted the death penalty. The feature is not going to return to everyday life. Homi suspect was found on day 6, but not even wearing shoes in the mountains, it was confessed frankly. It will only sought grave in the mountains.
Hari the poster of the "Redneck pleased smoke to put beauty" in the window, and shouted to the neighbors and set up a surveillance camera and mannequin. It looks "I'm angry" and on the surface, but it's SOS if flip side of "hurting". However, representation is not understandable clumsy, isolation deepens further.

Katie Kemarre (Akemarr) - Kurrajong Seed
Artist: Katie Kemarre (Akemarr)
Title: Apeng (Kurrajong) Dreaming
Size: 30 x 30 cm
Acrylic on canvas.
This painting is stretched on a timber frame and is ready to hang.
The artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and photo of the artist.
This painting depicts aboriginal women collecting a type of bush medicine called apeng,the Kurrajong tree. Leaves are ground and mixed with animal fat to create a topical ointment, or with water as a drinking solution. There is an ancient Dreamtime story belonging to apeng which lies in the heart of Alyawarr land in Katie's country, Antarrengeny north east of Alice Springs.
Flower like designs represent the Kurrajong flower while background dots represent the seeds, called amen ngkweyang.
Ngkweyang is an important and nutritious food source. Not a habitual practice now, the Aboriginal people would collect these seeds, burn them to remove small hairs, and grind them into a paste for making damper (bread).
Bio:Artist: Katie Kemarre (Akemarr)
Born: 1943
Language Group: Alyawarr
Prior to painting, Katie participated in the Utopia - A Picture Story Exhibition, featuring silk batik works by 88 Utopian artists, which toured internationally.
During 1988 and 1989, Katie was involved with the Summer Project, which introduced many Utopian's into the art of painting. It didn't take long before painting was a huge hit and the artists moved entirely from batik work into acrylic on canvas/linen.
Katie's work evolves continually which reflects the nature of Katie's personality and tribe. Katie occasionally dabbles in wood carvings for art purposes, where she has experience in creating wooden artifacts, such as bowls, for her community.

Addressing challenges of seasonality through value addition
Undernutrition (macro- or micronutrients deficiency) among smallholders is, in most cases, seasonal. Seasonality in malnutrition is caused by many factors including, diseases (some associated with agriculture activities), high labour (affecting energy expenditure and time for child care and cooking good meals), sanitation/hygiene—also affected by seasonal water and fuel availability. Seasonality also affects two major factors in diet quality: access to nutritious foods (fruits and vegetables, and animal protein sources) and food safety. What can agriculture interventions do to minimize undernutrition variation associated with seasonality? The conventional innovations in agriculture would be to provide simple, affordable, irrigation approaches; agronomical methods that preserve water for growing of vegetables; drought resistant varieties or preservation methods of the excess.
I recall an innovation in Kenya in late 1990s by the Nutrition CRSP—with funding provided by the Centre for Higher Education of the United States Agency for International Development—that enabled over 2000 rural Kenyan women farmers to produce a variety of nutritious fruits and vegetables. The intervention also helped cooperatives of women to add value to their produce by processing and locally marketing nutritious, convenient, culturally-appropriate complementary feeds. The women worked with researchers from local and northern universities to produce feeds of composite flours from (solar dried) the fruits/local vegetables and cereals, and in other areas animal source protein was included in the locally formulated recipes. Researchers support ensured quality and sensory needs of the market are met at acceptable price throughout the year.

Hachi from Victoria, Australia
Visiting us all the way from Victoria, Australia is Hachi, a very cute Corgi born on the 21st of April 2014. His birth name was Rapid, but his mom, Nancy, renamed him to Hachi.
Hachi is a very vocal Corgi, especially first thing in the morning. I think we all know what that's like. 🙂 He has a powerful personality, loves humans, but hates cars. Like most Corgis, Hachi also hates having his nails clipped, so his mom takes him to a specialized pedicure salon.
Welcome to Corgi Dogs, Nancy and Hachi!

This is a chapter of my story, "Two Brothers." It appeared regularly in the Lincoln Park Journal in 1987. It is the true story of my grandfather, Watson Mabey; his brother, Earl; and their father, William. The story was the basis for the stage play, "Beyond the North Star," which I wrote with my friend Bill Anderson. The play was produced in 1989.
Time Remaining
By Richard Mabey Jr.
At 62, I have begun the process of reflecting upon my life. One of the writing projects that was very dear to my heart was writing the continuing story, "Two Brothers." It was a regular feature of The Lincoln Park Journal newspaper, during the year of 1987.
I'm going through the boxes and boxes of my writings that I still have. Most of my life, I've worked two jobs. For the most part I've worked my entire life as a wordsmith. I use the term wordsmith because I have worked for newspapers, corporate public relations departments, ad agencies, book publishers, cable television stations, and wrote and edited company newsletters. Over the years, I've worked as a proofreader, writer, reporter and editor.
All my working life, I usually worked a second part-time job. I'm very much a workaholic. I've sold high-end barbecue grills at a home and garden center, worked in a hotel, taught creative writing classes at adult night school, photographed people's pets, worked in a grocery store, worked on a farm, and sold Christmas trees. From all of it, I learned a lot about people. All of it, every moment, made for a valuable education of the workings of the hearts and minds of a lot of different types of people.
Walking down the hallway to the room of old age is a tough walk. The gears in the mind begin to slip. Then there are the aches and pains in the joints. And, no longer is it feasible to go on a long, carry everything on your back, three-day long hike. The other day, I found myself struggling to remember the fourth Monkees' name. I won't say which one of the Monkees' name that I forgot. It may seem like a long shot, but he may actually be reading my blog and I would hate to hurt his feelings.
Today, rereading the story of "Two Brothers," hit me hard. It was fun playing now and then. It was a great experience to work as a Security Guard. It was fun to attend all the pot luck dinners. But as crazy as it sounds, I miss the burnt red leaves of a maple tree in Autumn. Even crazier, I miss the sight of icicles hanging from the branches of a pine tree. Still even crazier, I miss the snow. In short, I miss my old Mayberry in New Jersey.
So, for me the time has come to go the old stable and saddle up my horse. I've got to buy an old mechanical typewriter. I threw away my old one several years ago, it was beyond repair. I love the sound of old typewriter keys clicking away. The time has come to inwardly tell all the phony intellectuals who rejected my writings, which exit to get off of.
My days of taking a week-long hike on the Appalachian Trail are behind me. My days of canoeing down the Delaware River for four or five days, have faded away in life's rear view mirror. For alas, I am watching the sunrise of the dawn of old age. Yet still, I have to dig deep into the chambers of my heart and soul. I've got to ignore the mean critics, take a very deep breath, find an old telephone booth and change into Super Writer.
In the time remaining that I do have, before they bury me beneath the ground, I've got to give it my all to see "I Remember Dad," become a published book.

Cootie Catcher Random Tables
I'm currently writing an adventure to go along with the Swords & Wizardry 3rd Printing Kickstarter called 'Zaya's Promise'. Zaya's Promise is a dungeon created from the warped mind of a trapped young, elven maiden possessing great amounts of magic. When players enter the dungeon, they enter Zaya's dreamworld, where all the encounters, traps, and themes are based on what a little girl mike like the most. Of course, they're all also pretty deadly. I did say "warped mind" after all. :)
While doing it, I picked up one of my favorite books: The Daring Book for Girls. There's also one called The Dangerous Book for Boys, which is really where I heard about the series. My husband is a High School drama teacher, and he uses material out of both these books for his theater tech classes. The books contain snippets of information, bits of history, rules for various games kids play, science experiments, and crafting projects.
One of the pages was on how to make a cootie catcher. Cootie catchers are also called pickers, paper fortune tellers, and a few other names I don't recall. It tends to differ based on geography. We called then pickers when I was a kid. They're fun little fortune tellers that are easy to fold, customize, and make up games with.
When I saw them in the book, I knew I had to make one for Zaya's Promise. It fits with the theme, and it's a fun way to put together a random table. They're also easy to store, as they neatly fold into a small rectangle when not in use, and you can literally toss one to a player, and have them roll all on their own.
I spent about a week developing a template, and three initial cootie catchers to get you started. The picture is of all the catcher's I've made with the templates in the last week as I've been prototyping and seeing what works.
There are many ways you can use this. I'm going to go over each one and describe how it works. You can then use the template to make your own. Download links are at the bottom. If you dig these, please consider supporting my Patreon!
PS: All the artwork and fonts used are either free for use commercially and non-commercially, or I've purchased them.
Tips on Printing Catchers
- If you have a printer with the option to print full-bleed 8.5' x 11" pages, I recommend you use it. You'll find a borderless option under paper type when you go to print if that's the case.
- If you don't have a full-bleed printer, just be forewarned the printer will automatically add margins you'll need to cut off.
- Inkjet printers work best if you want to be able to write on your catcher. Laserjet printers more or less melt the ink onto the page, which makes it difficult to write on with anything other than a Sharpie, and even that's suspect.
- The type of paper you use is important. If you want rich, crisp colors, make sure you pick up some paper designed for an inkjet printer.
- If you're a printer nerd like me, I HIGHLY recommend Red River Paper, and be sure to download, install, and use their ICC profiles.
- The heavier the paper, the harder it will be to fold, but the more durable your catcher will be in the end.
- To make creases nice and crisp on heavy paper, use a hard object like a pencil, pen, or ruler to press down on the creases. If you want to be a fancy paper crafter like me, pick up one of the most awesomely-named tools in our arsenal - a bone folder. I have several, one of which made from actual bone. My favorite bone folder is made from Teflon, though. YMMV.
Random Blessing From a Well
This one has the outside stone of a well, but when you lift the flap to get the final answer, you can see the water and possibly one of the mermaids!
Directions for this one:
- Player chooses one of the sides to approach the well from (which corresponds to a die).
- Player rolls the die they selected, plus 1d4.
- Player opens and closes the catcher as many times as they rolled on their selected die.
- The flap they open is the number on the d4 they rolled.
- All the flaps have another roll to be made to determine duration of the blessing, then when the flap is lifted, the blessing itself is revealed.
What's This Gem Do?
Normally with a cootie catcher, there are four flaps on the outside, eight flaps on the inside (accessible only in 4s), and eight final results. The way it's constructed, though, you can flip that to be four choices on the outside, four choices on the inside, and four, final random tables to choose from. That's what I did with this one.
- Player chooses the color of gem on the outside flap, which also has a die on it, and rolls that die.
- Player opens and closes the catcher the number of times indicated on the die.
- Two options will now be available, the player picks the one they'd like, and opens the flap, thus revealing a d4 random table.
- Player rolls a d4 to see what sort of magic the gemstone does.
I chose to use a d4 random table for each flap, but there's a lot of room in there, so I'd guess if you were creative about using the space, you could fit up to a d8 table in there... maybe more if you have good eyes. :)
You're Falling Into a Pit
Use this one as an alternative to what happens when someone fails their save and falls into a pit. There are two insta-death options, so I'd suggest using this only on pits that would cause death. You're the GM, though. :)
- Player chooses what they'll do on their way down: Scream, Pray, Prepare, or Fight, then rolls the corresponding die, plus a d4.
- Player open and closes the catcher the number of times indicated on the rolled die, then selects the flap with the same number as the d4, accepting the consequences or wailing in defeat.
The Blank Template
Yes, this is a Photoshop file, but IIRC, Gimp also opens PSDs, so you should be able to use it for both. I've separated everything out into layers that are in folders to make it a bit easier.
- I used Art's Polyhedral Dice Fonts from Skullduggery Press for the dice on the outside flaps, but that layer is initially hidden.
- The Lines folder holds shapes that define where your folds are going to be. Show that to help you place everything, then turn it off before you print.
- This is free for use non-commercially with attribution back to Stacy Dellorfano and Frivology.com.
- Please dont' redistribute the template... send people to the website, instead.
- There are a bazillion ways you can remix this. Take one of the ones I made and fold it up to see how everything works, then remix it like mad. Show me what you've made, and I'll be happy to promote it on Frivology. :)
- Enjoy Your Catchers!

Article 157
Extracting blood from the body even it is done by phlebotomy, surgery, brushing or scratching in the way that blood extracted from the body, in other than the cases of necessity is Makrooh (disliked) and because some of Faqihs have consider it as Haraam, then the Mustahab precaution is to renounce that.

Open your door without keys with the Numlock Handle
Designed by designer Jess Han the Numlock Handle is an innovative solution for those of you who want to enter your home without using keys. This design concept for a mechanical lock could be the ideal solution to the keyless lock problem. Numlock Handle is unlocked when you roll its four tumblers to the correct numbers, and then after you've gained entry it automatically jumbles up the tumblers to lock the door behind you. The idea is good especially if you have a room where you want to keep some valuable things, but to time consuming for the front door ( especially if you are in a hurry ). – Via – Dvice

berries and stuff
If you remember this post, we went berry hunting…..
this is what we made with our loot….
besides having the fruit in all its naked yummyness
we had blueberry pancakes the next morning
I had some raspberries in my lunch
and we added them in our summer treat…JELLO
Summer is quickly coming to an end for us. School starts early September.
Hope your summer has been a good one.
4 comments - join the party!
You should try cutting the strawberries thinly, and putting them in pancakes with blueberries and chocolate chips. HEAVEN.
Nothing like fresh strawberries! I want to try making strawberry jam, everyone who has made it says it's so simple. We'll see!
Summer is almost over here as well. So hard to believe it's almost time for school to start!
Blueberry pancakes, yum yum!
Love fresh berries.
oh yum! There is nothing better than berries in the summer. I love berries in my salad. Your pancakes look great!! I love the color of the jello with the fruit in it, it is so pretty. Now I want to do that!

Photo at the George Washington Carver National Monument
"An Unlimited Broadcasting Station"
Listen to this message on your audio player. Note: Due to travel a podcast was not prepared for this message.
"By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible" (Hebrews 11:3).
Yesterday afternoon we visited the George Washington Carver National Monument in Diamond, Missouri. George Washington Carver was a remarkable scientist who overcame much during his life and all along maintained a devout faith in God.
One of my most memorable childhood trips was going to this small, out of the way site in Southwest Missouri near a town named Diamond. I have admired this man ever since and yesterday Brooksyne also walked through the historical site in amazement and much spiritual edification. I would say most astounding are the powerful quotes all through the museum. Perhaps once or twice we may hope to say something just a little profound that might be repeated by another, but Carver's quotes "wow" you each time you read his words. Next week we plan to post a message with more of these quotes based on photos we took during our walk through.
George Washington Carver was born into slavery, kidnapped as an infant, and even traded for a broken-down racehorse. He once witnessed the public lynching of a fellow black man. Those experiences, alongside all the other injustices he suffered provided him with ample reason to feel rejected, forsaken, and hateful toward the white man. Surely, if a person's traumatic life experiences doom him for failure, it would have been Carver's.
But when he was 11 he moved into a three room house with Mariah and Andrew Watkins who became parents to him. In exchange for his help with household tasks he now had a roof over his head, good people who loved and raised him as their own child, and a solid religious upbringing. His faith and love for God grew and his appreciation of nature would sustain him throughout his entire life. His forte was the peanut and he was a pioneer in the field of chemurgy, a branch of applied chemistry that is concerned with preparing industrial products from agricultural raw materials.
Once he testified before the Senate Agriculture Committee, saying that he got his knowledge of peanuts from the Bible. Asked what the Bible said about peanuts he replied, "The Bible does not teach anything regarding the peanut. But it told me about God, and God told me about the peanut."
I especially appreciate Carver's outlook in life. He was able to see the hand of God in nature. He certainly believed in intelligent design and an intelligent Designer! Carver said, "I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station through which God speaks to us every hour if we will only tune in." As a devout Christian, Carver considered his laboratory, "God's Little Workshop."
I read this in an encyclopedia concerning Carver's faith: "God and science were both areas of intrigue, not warring ideas in the mind of George Washington Carver. While contemporary scientific endeavors may practice methodological naturalism, an approach which believes the universe to be unguided or chaotic, Carver reasoned that the God who created the universe also created the rules by which it was governed. He was opposed to the theory of evolution and believed the creation of the world to be the Biblical creation account from the book of Genesis verbatim. He would testify on many occasions that his faith in Jesus was the only mechanism by which he could effectively pursue and perform the art of science."
I believe God is still speaking today through His creation and one of the keys to a positive, faith-filled outlook in life is to tune into His voice. In the daily verse the word "understand" translates a word that means "to exercise the mind, observe." I once again affirm, "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."
Be encouraged today,
Stephen & Brooksyne Weber
Daily prayer: Father, help us with the spiritual exercise of observing how You are working in our own heart and in the lives of those around us. And we especially need to observe the ways You are present in nature and in our everyday lives. The daily routine can easily squeeze out those special sightings of Your glorious presence and supernatural workings where You make visible that which is not seen with human eyes, but only through the eyes of faith. Faithful and True God, just as You formed the universe with Your own hands, You also shape the human heart with Your own Spirit, bringing it into conformity to Your will for our lives. Help us to surrender ourselves fully to You so that we are among those who have supernatural faith which makes us confident of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see with human eyes. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
* Due to travel we are temporarily suspending the preparation of regular podcasts with each message. It is a complex set-up and time-consuming to prepare in a hotel room. We expect to periodically prepare some messages as podcasts while on the road and resume regular podcasts when we return home.
Some scenes along our journey:
We began our morning yesterday by visiting Battlefield Mall, where Brooksyne worked when we were in college. I wanted to take a photo of her in the Dillard's wig department but that department is long gone (of course Brooksyne knew that wigs were a thing of the past, but what do I know about current ladies fashions and such!). We did see these portable storm shelters for sale which I suppose must mount to a concrete pad. I was claustrophobic just looking in but would be most grateful to be in one during a tornado, if they really work.
We had lunch with Al Worthley, our chaplain supervisor and visited with him in his office. Al is a retired federal prison system chaplain and has a real heart for the harvest evidenced by many miniature farm implements in his office and harvest scenes. Notice the tractors on the shelf behind us. Al grew up on a farm in rural Minnesota and has been very supportive of our ministry.
Al's office is quite agriculturally themed including this little John Deere tractor pull on his ceiling fan! With his upcoming birthday the office crew decorated his room with the John Deere green and yellow colors.
We stopped by to walk the grounds of our Bible College, which closed this last Spring to merge with the Theological Seminary and Evangel University. We like the simple purpose statement, "Training Ministers and Missionaries". We met here our freshman year and married after our junior year. Central Bible College trained thousands of ministers and missionaries during its 90 year existence.
These photos were taken during the spring of our Freshman year at CBC with my three best college friends. For the photo we shortened our ties and tried to be a little silly (a far cry from the youth look of today). In the first photo I am on the far left in the very loud plaid slacks. I took the photo on the right and Brooksyne, whom I had just started dating, joined my friends!
We easily found the old tree yesterday and decided to have Ester take an "after" photo (over 39 years later).
Rarely do we travel I-44 that we don't stop by the Precious Moments Chapel and this was no exception. This is the Precious Moments RV Camping Lot.
A touching figurine remembering the terrible Oklahoma City bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in 1995. "Sifting through the rubble police officer, Sgt. John Avera found a small half buried body. Shouting. 'I have a critical infant! I have a critical infant!' he thrust the, 1-year-old Baylee Almon into the arms of nearby firefighter Capt. Chris Fields." Here's the iconic photo.
We were so blessed by reading the quotes of wisdom from George Washington Carver and may make a message next week just posting these quotes.
We arrived at our Steincross family reunion site on Fort Gibson Lake in time to view a beautiful sunset, walking along the trail as it was going down which captured our attention the entire time! We later gathered with family members from Stephen's mom's side of the family.

Here's info about the George Washington Carver National Monument. We were so pleased that there appeared to be no soft-petalling his devout faith in God and, unlike most federally funded sites, there was no apparent attempt at indoctrination in evolution.
Here's an online article about George Washington Carver (scroll down for a description of his Christian commitment).
Our friend Doris High has a creative way of sharing her photos and has a post with a quote from George Washington Carver that I also used in today's message.

"You do not have to fight this battle…"
When goals are not achieved, or life turns in a way you didn't expect – what is your response? We have a tendency to fight. 'The fight in the dog' is vital, but the dog needs to be trained when and how to fight. The tendency to fight may make things much worse. So, how do we know when to fight? God says to fight with praise first.
Throughout the Bible we read stories of people finding victory by praising God. The walls of Jericho fell with a shout of praise (Joshua 6:20). Jehoshaphat was told, "You do not have to fight this battle. Position yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord." (2 Chronicles 20:17). And, of course the greatest victory was on the cross when Jesus refused to fight, even though He could have called thousands of angels to defend Him (Matthew 26:53).
Jesus quoted the psalmist's words to illustrate praise is the most effective form of fighting (Matthew 21:16). His enemies were silenced through the praise of children. While others couldn't see the truth in Jesus, children saw exactly who He was. Fight with praise first, then wait on the Lord.
"You have taught children and infants to tell of your strength, silencing your enemies and all who oppose you." (Matthew 21:16 – NLT)
1. What tends to make you want to fight, or "make things happen?"
2. Share a time in your life when fighting made things worse.
3. How have you witnessed the benefits of praising and resting in God to provide victory?

April 1, 1995, Section 1, Page 1Buy Reprints
Selena, the 23-year-old reigning queen of the Tejano music world, was shot and killed today at a Corpus Christi motel.
Shortly after 9:30 P.M. a 32-year-old woman identified by the young singer's father as the former president of her fan club abruptly surrendered after keeping the police at bay for nearly 10 hours as she sat in a red pickup truck in the motel parking lot with a gun pointed at her temple.
Hundreds of people who had congregated in the cold drizzle watched as she was rushed off in a police car, surrounded by officers.
The killing of the star, who had won a Grammy music award last year and whose recording "Amor Prohibido" ("Forbidden Love") sold 400,000 copies in the United States and many more than that in Mexico, stunned her fans and prompted almost non-stop coverage on Spanish-language radio and television stations here, in Texas's major cities and all along the Mexican border. Many of the stations took calls from distraught listeners and played Selena's songs throughout the day.
The surrender came in a surreal scene with a crowd of reporters, television camera operators and onlookers gathered at an Exxon gas station across the street from the Days Inn motel just off a stretch of Interstate 37 near the Corpus Christi airport. Hundreds of fans, including many weeping teen-agers, converged on the scene throughout the day, a few with tape machines that played recordings of Selena's songs as reporters' beepers and cellular phones rang almost constantly.
Police identified the suspect as Yolanda Saldivar and said they would charge her on Saturday. The singer's father, Abraham Quintanilla, said Ms. Saldivar was a former head of the Selena fan club who three weeks ago was fired from her job at the family's clothing boutique here, Selena, Etc. The stores are due to expand to San Antonio and Mexico in coming months.
"There have been discrepancies," Mr. Quintanilla told reporters at the hospital where his daughter died this afternoon, two hours after she was shot. "And they resulted in her shooting Selena."
Mr. Quintanilla described Ms. Saldivar as a "disgruntled employee" who was fired after money was discovered to be missing from the store. He said that Selena had demanded that the woman return financial documents about the company and that the two women had agreed to meet at the motel.
With her pouting smile, suggestive clothing and theatrical command of a microphone, Selena was often described as the Madonna of the Mexican-American world and was an idol and heartthrob on both sides of the border. Unlike Madonna, though, she also cultivated an image as a cheerful promoter of family values. She was married to Chris Perez, the lead guitarist in her band, Selena y los Dinos.
Tejano music, which has roots both in the oompah music of European settlers in Texas and in Mexican ballads, is a fast-paced mix of accordion, guitars and lyrics in both English and Spanish.
It is hugely popular in South Texas and elsewhere along the border. The recent Tejano Music Awards in San Antonio, which has become a sort of Nashville of the Tejano world, was attended by 45,000 fans. At the ceremonies, Selena walked away with awards for female entertainer of the year, female vocalist of the year, best record of the year and best album. Her "Selena Live" also won the Grammy last year for best Mexican-American album.
"It's got polka in it, a little bit of country, a little bit of jazz," she said in an interview last year with the San Jose Mercury News. "Fuse all those types of music together. I think that's where you get Tejano."
Selena's hit "Fotos y Recuerdos" ("Photographs and Memories") is No. 4 on Billboard Magazine's Latin chart this week.
An assistant police chief in Corpus Christi, Ken Bung, said that Selena, whose full name was Selena Quintanilla Perez, was shot in a room at the motel just before noon and stumbled to the lobby. She was rushed to the Memorial Medical Center and pronounced dead about an hour later.
Born in Lake Jackson, near Houston, on April 16, 1971, Selena began singing with her father's band at age 3. The family later moved to Corpus Christi where she became well-known in local music circles by her teen-age years and eventually became a widely known star.
At the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, a traditional celebration that turns America's fourth-largest city into a cowtown once a year, Selena was the largest-selling draw this year.
"We had 20 performances this year," said Leroy Shafer, assistant general manager of the show. "We had Reba McEntire, George Strait, Clint Black and Vince Gill. She had the highest-selling show concert at our show this year, at 61,041 in the Astrodome."
A concert video made of her performance is to air shortly in Mexico and on some Spanish-language stations in Texas.
Maria Aguirre, a receptionist at KQQK, a popular Tejano music station in Houston, said the switchboard had been flooded with calls since the death was first announced.
"Basically they are just in awe," Ms. Aguirre said. "They cannot believe that it happened. They're calling to reconfirm."
For Tejano fans, she added, "It's almost like the feeling when John Lennon died. She was the queen of Tejano."
Mr. Shafer said: "This lady was destined to be an international superstar. In many aspects she already was. She could sell out any pavilion in South Texas. She was on her way to standing beside Madonna."
In Mexico, her popularity was limited more to the northern border region, within what Mexicans call the onda grupera, or "group wave," a movement of norteno or "ranchera" pop groups that travel the northern and central states of the country, playing dances in the towns and concerts in the cities.
Selena's father had toured nightclubs across Texas in the 1960's with the original version of Los Dinos but did not achieve wide success until he made young Selena, with her belting vocal power, the lead singer. "I think he saw dollar signs," Selena said laughingly in an interview last year, describing the evolution of a family band that included her sister Suzette on drums and her brother Abraham III on guitar.
Industry experts estimated that the shooting would only ripen Selena's celebrity as the Tejano queen who was about to break through to a larger public with her first English language album as well as her first movie role in the forthcoming "Don Juan DeMarco."
"That album was going to open a lot of doors," said John Ortiz, promotion representative for EMI Latin Records. "It will be a great loss. Shewas involved in many things."

"Serena Williams Opens Up About Postpartum Complications: "Why do I feel so sad when I have a beautiful baby?" by Jessica Bennett [EBONY]
She went on, "I've broken down I don't know how many times. Or I'll get angry about the crying, then sad about being angry, and then guilty, like, why do I feel so sad when I have a beautiful baby? The emotions are insane."
"Mental Health Needs Of Black Children Often Fly Under The Radar" by Britni de la Cretaz [The Fix]
A 2016 study found that black and Latino children made 47-58% fewer visits to a mental health professional than their white counterparts, despite similar rates of mental health struggles. This sets black children up for what Dr. Marva Robinson, a licensed clinical psychologist in St. Louis, calls a "permanent domino effect."
"They usually end up in punitive systems—suspensions, detentions, kicked out of school, expelled or placed in alternative schools," Robinson told St. Louis Public Radio. "And so, that leads to a very negative trajectory from that point forward. So, higher dropout rates, lower paying jobs, more likely to end up in the criminal system and it just goes on from there."
5 Tips For Black Girl Bosses To Manage Their Mental Health by T-Kea Blackman [21 Ninety]
When building a business, our team usually consists of a lawyer, accountant, marketing or business coach, graphic designer and maybe a publicist. Yet, we fail to think of a therapist as a vital part of the team. If your mental health fails, you will put your business at risk. Commit to therapy. It does not mean you are weak. And no, you don't have to have a mental illness to see a therapist.
"As a Young Black Man, Rap Helped Me Deal with Depression When I Was Afraid to Seek Help" by Jesse Bernard [Noisey]
The combination of lines like "I don't want to think of suicide" on "Heavenly Father" and "Hope they don't kill you cause you black today / They only feel you when you pass away / The eulogy be so moving, we live the scenes of those movies" on "Ronnie Drake" communicated what I was unable to say when I felt my voice was insignificant. Whether it was the brooding nature of "West Savannah" and "Tranquility," where Rashad revealed his suicide attempts and substance abuse, or the lines that helped me deal with the odd "You don't talk how I imagined you would" comment from my colleagues at work, it was the first time an artist had spoken to the entirety of my experience.
The latest episode of Therapy For Black Girls explores an important question: "Session 40: Do I Need A New Therapist?"

The Real Pilates Standards of Training are distinguished by our focus on 4 key elements. Your weekly assignments are designed to develop your skill in each of these areas as well as your Anatomy, History and more.
Anatomy Course Overview:

And we're back! We're all about bones this week. The information from last week should help you organize this week's info -try to think of the general layout of the skeleton in the reference and relational terms you learned last week. Again, you'll head to vimeo make your notes, and then head to canvas to answer this week's question.
For the individual bones, feel free to google if the video is unclear for you. This is a good interactive tutorial, with more information that you need for your testing or the case studies, but always good information to have, particularly if you have a client with specific issues.
Key Concepts:
Girdle - A belt or support
Articulation - An articulation is a joint- two or more structures move against or with each other. "articulation" refers to the meeting or movement of those structures. For instance, the femur articulates with the tibia and the patella in the knee.
Appendicular vs. Axial skeleton - Axial: central bones of the body- head neck and trunk. Appendicular: bones of the limbs
Spine: Bones of the spine are numbered with 1 being the most superior and the number increasing as you move inferiorly.
Cervical Vertebrae
Bones of the superior-most aspect of the spine and the neck. There are 7.
Thoracic Vertebrae
Bones of middle aspect of the spine, the chest and upper waist. There are 12. These bones articulate with the ribs.
Lumbar Vertebrae
Bones of lower aspect of the spine, the lower back. There are 5. These only articulate with each other and L5 articulates with the Sacrum (S1).
Sacral Vertebrae
5 fused vertebrae. One structure, but labeled S1-S5 for medical purposes.
Coccygeal Vertebrae
What remains of our tails. there are 3-5 of them in adults, deep inside the pelvis
Ribs and Sternum
Sternum is 3 fused bones. Also called the breastbone. Anterior point of connection for the ribs. Ribs do not connect directly to the sternum, but rather to bars of cartilage that connect to the ribs and the sternum.
Ribs are ribs! they are flat bones that protect the heart and lungs. There are 12 sets of ribs.
Bones of the upper limb girdle
- Shoulder blade
- Connection between the upper limb and the axial skeleton
Bones of the lower limb girdle:
Ilium is one of the 2 halves of the pelvis (illia is plural). The pelvis is the whole structure, sometimes used including the sacrum, sometimes just referring to the illia.
Bones of the lower limb
Bone of the thigh or upper leg
Medial bone of the crus or lower leg.
Lateral bone of the crus or lower leg
Bones of the ankles. There are 7 of these in each ankle
Bones of the toes. (there are 5 of these, one for each toe)
Bones of the upper limb
Bone of the upper arm or Brachium
Lateral bone of the forearm or antebrachium. (IMPORTANT: the radius is the THUMB SIDE bone of the forearm. it is lateral IN ANATOMICAL POSITION, but may not appear lateral when you are looking at a body in real life. Remember, when relational terms are used to describe a static--i.e. non-moving-- body, they are used in terms of anatomical position.)
Medial bone of the forearm or antebrachium (see IMPORTANT from radius).
Bones of the wrist. There are 8 of these in each wrist.
Bones of the hand (palm). there are 5 of these (one for each digit)
Bones of the fingers and toes. There are 14 of these in each hand, and 14 in each foot. In both the thumb and big toe, there are two phalanges. in the other digits and toes, there are 3.
Sesamoid bone
Bone that forms in a tendon and is mostly engulfed in that tendon in adults. the largest is the patella, which is your kneecap and articulates with the femur and the tibia.
The information about long bones is good to know, but you don't need to memorize it.
The Lumbar skeleton has no articulation with the ribs allowing rotation to happen more freely than it does in the Thoracic spine. This puts the Lumbar spine at greater risk for injury. What have you learned about working with delicate backs and rotation? Give 5 examples of exercises that you would be cautious with?
Rotation is one of the last things to be introduced for delicate backs, particularly rotation with "load" on the spine. Exercises to be cautious with (not exhaustive, looking at: twist and reach in the short box series, twist in stomach massage, corkscrew on mat and reformer, Criss-cross, Saw. Looking for exercises with rotation on any apparatus.
Within the joints of the body, some girdles are built for mobility and others are for stability. In human development stability must happen before mobility. Give an example of how Pilates works this way as a system. Give an additional example of a Pilates exercise that works this way.
The progression from the basic, beginner into intermediate and advanced systems works stability first, before adding in exercises that require both greater range of motion as well as greater stabilizing strength against that range of motion. Within the short box series, the spine moves in a single plane (round and straight back, side to side) before moving in multiple planes (twist and reach). The hundred is an exercise that asks you stabilize the trunk and legs while vigorously moving the upper limb without disturbing that stability.
The word articulation comes from the Latin, "formation of vines". In Pilates we typically use the word articulate as a verb to define certain actions. How do you think the noun "articulation" relates to the verb articulate.
In anatomy, the noun articulation describes a structure capable of movement. In pilates, we use the verb articulate to describe the movement of those structures.
Features of bones are influenced by two things geometry and mechanical pull. What is your reaction to the idea that bones can be re-modeled by muscles? Give an example of how you think this might work in one area of the body.
Alignment is a good example of this: In pilates, we ask the muscles to move such that the bones are in correct alignment, Over time, this can change the resting structure and default movement patterns of our clients. With regards to the bones themselves, Osteoporosis, for example, is a common condition in which the bones become fragile and brittle due to loss of actual bone tissue. Resistance training (such as pilates) has been shown to provide the "load" stimuli that triggers the creation of more bone cells, upping bone density.
Bonus Question: The phrase "girdle of strength" is used to describe or define what in the Pilates Method?
