Say hello to our newest officers! In between Lt. Murphy and Sgt. Page from left to right are:
Scott Beggs, Zachary Schlarb, Shane Stanton, Brandon Moss, and Noah Smykowski.
Below is a letter sent to all members of the Flat Rock Police Department from the Chief of Police:
At times like this, words do not come easy. The senseless killing of five Dallas police officers affects all of us, right down to the very core of our being. We feel angry, helpless, misunderstood, alone, and confused. While these are all normal feelings to have, it is important we don't act on them in a negative way. It is my hope we will act, instead of react, with purpose and resolve as guardians of our community. In times like this we need to reaffirm our commitment to our residents, business owners, and visitors, that we are here to safeguard their safety and quality of life. We are here as members of our community, equally vested in a future that continues to respect everyone's perspectives, views, and uniqueness.
I have received several messages from members of the Flat Rock community over the last several days. We are supported and placed in the highest regard by our community. We are blessed to have this support and it is important now, more than ever, that we do everything in our power to protect and preserve that support and trust. Sometime during your next tour of duty, I'd like to ask each of you to take out the challenge coin you were issued. You will see on the patch side four words. They are placed around the patch in order for a reason. "Integrity" is found at the top. It is there because without integrity, we are nothing. On the bottom is "Community" because our community is the foundation and base of our existence. "Honor" and "Trust" are on either side of the patch. These two traits are mutually supportive and inclusive in "Integrity" and "Community". We must always honor our community, our oath, our badge, our profession, and all those who have served before us with integrity. "Trust" is earned through demonstrated integrity throughout our community. Once earned it cannot be taken for granted and must be continuously worked on. We are looked to as leaders and entrusted with great authority. Please remember the great responsibility that accompanies that authority with every encounter you have. We must, in partnership with our community, find ways to continuously interact and engage in positive ways, thus strengthening relationships and ensuring continued mutual support and trust. Our mission statement sums it up nicely:
"It is the mission of the Flat Rock Police Department to protect the lives and property of the community we serve, to reduce crime, and enhance the safety of the public. Our mandate is to do so with integrity, honor, respect, and compassion. In partnership with our community, we will conduct ourselves with the highest ethical standards to forever maintain the trust and confidence of all who live, work, and visit here."
In closing, I'd like to remind you of a passage from the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics, which I believe is extremely applicable at this time, "As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is to serve the community; to safeguard lives and property, to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the constitutional rights of all to liberty, equality, and justice." These are our "fundamental" duties. Let's continue to make them our number one priority as we move forward. I'm proud of the integrity, honor, trust, and sense of community you each bring to work every day. Thank you for your exemplary service.
Please keep the Dallas Police Department and greater Dallas area in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn their loss. As a reminder, all members of the Flat Rock Police Department are authorized to wear a mourning band until the last Dallas officer is laid to rest.
Watch out for each other and be safe,
John L. Leacher

On Sunday, July 12th, the police department participated in the 2015 Guns and Hoses Softball tournament. This event was made possible by the hard work of Recreation Director Rodney Wade and Flat Rock Fire Fighter Tim Webb. Mayor Dropiewski kicked things off by addressing all the teams and thanking everyone for their participation. The first picture features Mayor Dropiewski, Chief of Police Leacher and Fire Chief Vack shaking hands before the first game which featured the Flat Rock Police Department vs. the Flat Rock Fire Department. The second features the The Flat Rock Police Department team with the trophy. The police department went undefeated on the day! Congratulations to the police department and thanks to everyone who participated in this most worthwhile event. We can't wait to do it again next year!
As you make plans for what we hope is an AWESOME 4th of July Independence Day celebration, please keep in mind discharge of fireworks are allowed tomorrow, July 3rd, Saturday July 4th, and Sunday July 5th only. Ordinance also prohibits discharge of fireworks between the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on those days.
The National Council on Fireworks Safety also recommends the following safety tips when using fireworks:
- Know your fireworks; read the cautionary labels and performance descriptions before igniting.
- A responsible adult SHOULD supervise ALL firework activities. NEVER give fireworks to children.
- Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Save your alcohol for after the show.
- Wear safety glasses when shooting fireworks.
- Light one firework at a time and then quickly move away.
- Use fireworks OUTDOORS in a clear area; away from buildings and vehicles.
- Never relight a "dud" firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.
- Always have a bucket of water and charged water hose nearby.
- Never carry fireworks in your POCKET or shoot them into METAL or GLASS containers.
- Do not experiment with homemade fireworks.
- Dispose of spent fireworks by wetting them down and place in a metal trash can away from any building or combustible materials until the next day.
Flat Rock Police Officers and Firefighters read to students at Summit Academy and Barnes Elementary school recently in honor of March Reading Month. They were joined by a police officer from St.Clair Shores as well as a medical professional. Everyone that participated in this event had a great time. We're pretty sure the readers had as much fun as the kids did, maybe even more!
The Police Department would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to McDonald's and Zorba's Restaurant for their support of our Random Acts of Kindness Initiative that took place last week during National Random Acts of Kindness Week. Officers handed out Extra Value Meal and Happy Meal coupons provided by McDonald's as well as gift certificates provided by Zorba's. Officers went into schools and found students following the rules. They were rewarded with the Happy Meal coupons. Other coupons and the gift certificates were handed out on traffic stops where people were stopped and rewarded for obeying the traffic laws and being good drivers. Below is an article run in the Monroe Evening News. Thanks to Danielle Portteus for running this story.
At the regular council meeting held on Tuesday January 20th, Heather Rodery was sworn in as the second female police officer in the city's history. The Oath of Office was administered by City Clerk Meaghan Bachman and the Oath of Honor was given by Chief of Police John Leacher. Officer Rodery's father had the honor of pinning her badge to her uniform signifying the beginning of what we believe will be a successful career in a community that truly cares for and supports our men, and now woman, in blue. Welcome to Flat Rock Officer Rodery and welcome to your new family!
At the City Council meeting on January 5th, 2015, Flat Rock's newest police officer, Joshua Bouchard received the Oath of Honor, presented to him by Chief John Leacher. Officer Bouchard's Mother, Father, Sister, and Grandmother came to support him as well. The Oath of Honor is promise that we, as law enforcement officers will place honor, integrity, courage, accountability, and public trust above all else in service to our community. Officer Bouchard says Flat Rock feels like home. We say, welcome to the family Officer Bouchard, and welcome home!
The police department wants to take a moment to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year! PLEASE remember, per Flat Rock Code of ordinances, "no person shall discharge any firearm, air rifle, air pistol or bow and arrow in the city, except when lawfully acting in the defense of persons or property..." Simply put, firing a gun in the air to celebrate New Years is against the law. If you fire a gun into the air, the bullet can travel up to a mile in the air before falling. A bullet that goes up has to come down somewhere and these "celebratory" bullets can cause serious injury, even death. So please celebrate responsibly this New Years. We want to see ALL of you happy and healthy in 2015. Happy New Year Everyone!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Flat Rock Community Schools Art Teacher Ms. Papalas and Summit Academy 4th grade teacher Ms. Flourney for bringing students and their families to decorate the lobby of the police department. Ms. Papalas art students came from Ms. Buehrer's 4th grade class and Ms. Gosen's 2nd grade class. As you can see, all the kids did an awesome job making our lobby look festive for the holidays.
A special Thank you as well to Sgt. Korody for organizing this event which I'm sure will become a special tradition for the kids and us here at the PD for years to come. Thanks Again!!!!!
Hey Flat Rock, it's beginning to feel a lot like winter out there which means it won't be long until we are dealing with our favorite winter four (4) letter word...SNOW! Just want to take a minute and remind everyone that a snow emgergency will be declared if two (2) or more inches of snow falls and may be declared when forecasts indicate accumulations of two (2) or more inches of snow is eminent.
When a snow emergency is declared you must get your vehicles off the street so city crews can clear the roads for emergency vehicle travel. Failure to do so can result in your vehicle being ticketed and towed. Snow emergency notifications are placed on cable, radio, the city's web page, and local broadcast media.
Thanks in advance for doing your part this winter to keep our community safe!

MONDAY, June 7 (HealthDay News) -- Racial and ethnic differences exist in the prevalence, treatment and outcomes of asthma among children with equal access to medical care, according to a study published online June 7 in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
In a retrospective cohort analysis conducted in the Military Health System, Kate A. Stewart, Ph.D., of Mathematica Policy Research Inc. in Washington, D.C., and colleagues evaluated 822,900 children, aged 2 to 17 years, continuously enrolled throughout 2007 in TRICARE Prime (a benefit provided by the Department of Defense).
The researchers found that black and Hispanic children were significantly more likely to have an asthma diagnosis compared to white children, with an odds ratio (OR) ranging from 1.16 to 2.00. In addition, black children of all age groups and Hispanic children between 5 and 10 years of age were significantly less likely to visit an asthma specialist (OR ranging from 0.71 to 0.88) and more likely to have potentially avoidable asthma hospitalizations and asthma-related emergency department visits (OR ranging from 1.24 to 1.99), compared to white children. Black children were also significantly more likely to have filled prescriptions for inhaled corticosteroids compared with their white counterparts (OR, 1.11).
"Despite universal health insurance coverage and access to military treatment facilities, we found evidence of racial and ethnic differences in asthma prevalence and outcomes after adjusting for differences in demographic characteristics and socioeconomic status," the authors write.

In answering the question, "what is the most popular, and the least popular, books in the Bible," we will measure popularity by determining which book is most read and which is least read.
The Most Read Book
The book of Psalms easily wins, probably because it is both the longest book in the Bible (150 chapters) and it covers every human emotion and every circumstance in life. It addresses inward, private thoughts and feelings, as well as outward, publicly expressed words and actions. The book models everything. From the depths of despair to the heights of joy, from overwhelming discouragement to overflowing praise, the book of Psalms speaks. The most important message that the book conveys is that all hope is founded, and grounded, in Christ alone. He is the answer to every one of life's issues and, in Him, a downcast soul is healed by the joy of salvation.
Christians quickly turn to the 150 psalms for daily encouragement and instruction. With each chapter giving a complete message, it's easy to read and imparts great wisdom that points us toward the goal of living life by loving, honoring, and glorifying Jesus. It's no wonder that it is the most read book in the Bible.
The Least Read Book
Most people will guess that book of Revelation is the least read book in the Bible. While it's true that many neglect reading this book, and it's probably because they don't want to hear the message of coming judgment, Revelation is not the least read book. That distinction goes to the Book of Obadiah.
Mention Obadiah and you might get responses like, "who's Obadiah?" "There's a book of Obadiah?" "Why have I never seen it in the Bible?" Most Christians know very little, or nothing, about this prophet and his book. Let's look at some reasons why this book might rank at the bottom of the list of Bible reading.
Three Reasons Why Christians Might Neglect Reading Obadiah
- Obadiah is very short book. In fact, it's the shortest book in the Old Testament. Therefore, it's easily missed when leafing through the Bible and choosing a book to read. It's also not directly quoted anywhere in the New Testament, leading to it being very easily overlooked.
- Obadiah was an obscure man. We know nothing about him, except his name and his message.
- Obadiah's message is not obscure, but it isn't about Israel or the Church. It's about a pagan nation that is prideful and mistreats its brother (now that kind of sounds like all of us). The book of Obadiah tells of God's coming judgment on this nation for their actions.
The Book of Obadiah
In my women's Bible study, we are making our way through the minor prophets. The prophecies from "the minors" are just as important as those from "the majors." The only real reason that they are called minor prophets is that their messages are much shorter—especially Obadiah's.
In teaching the book of Obadiah, it became apparent that the significance of his message far exceeded the number of his words. So we devoted two study sessions to this short, 21 verse book. In doing so, we found the book to be rich in meaning and application for our day. Obadiah echoes the messages of other prophets in a concise manner, making it a fun, fast, and easy read. That's probably good for the times in which we live, when people are so busy that they don't, can't, or won't make time to read and study the Bible. Obadiah is the perfect book to read and study! Its message is timeless and the hope it proclaims is eternal.
Obadiah is a perfect book to read and study! Its message is timeless and the hope it proclaims is eternal.
Seven Reasons to Read the Book of Obadiah
- Obadiah is Short and Easy to Read: With only 21 versus and very clear language, Obadiah can be read from start to finish in a few minutes provoking thoughts to ponder that will last much longer.
- Obadiah is Easily Outlined
I. The Doom of Edom, 1-9
A. The Certainty, 1-4
B. The Completeness, 5-9
II. The Denunciation of Edom, 10-14
A. For Mistreatment of Their Brother, vs. 10
B. For Not Caring and Not Helping Their Brother, 11-12
C. For Actions Against Their Brother, 13-14
III. The Destruction of Edom, 15-21
A. The Time of the Destruction, vs. 15
B. The Nature of the Destruction, 16-21
3. Obadiah is Easily Summarized: 1) God's Righteous Judgment on Edom (Esau) and 2) God's Righteous Restoration of Israel (Jacob)
3. Obadiah is Rich in Detail: The book clearly tells of the sins of Edom. Edom was proud and arrogant. Built on a natural fortress of high rocks, they thought themselves to be impregnable. They cared little for the nation of Israel, whom God said was their brother (Deut 23:7, Amos 1:11). They not only failed to offer refuge they also acted to harm Israel.
4. Obadiah is Culturally Relevant: Man is arrogant in nature and prideful in his works. God's people are still mistreated both by those outside of the Kingdom of God. God will judge all sins of omission (doing nothing) and all sins of commission (active choice).
5. Obadiah Tells of God's Righteous and Just Judgment: "I will bring you down!" (vs 4) was God's message to prideful Edom. And His righteous judgment is alway just. With mercy and to bring repentance, God always warns of judgment to come: "As you have done, it shall be done to you" (vs 15). Vengeance is God's and He will judge all sin justly. For those who have not sought God and been forgiven by Jesus, they will receive their due judgment.
6. Obadiah Offers Messianic Hope: In verse 17, the little word "BUT" turns the book's message from doom and judgment to hope and deliverance. After God's warning to Israel's enemies, telling them that judgment will come unless they repent, God assures His people that they will be delivered from opression and persecution and they will enjoy peace:
Obadiah 1:21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau…
7. Obadiah Offers Ultimate Victory
Obadiah 1:21 …and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.
This was partially fulfilled when God gave His Son, to be born, to live among His people, to teach them, and to ultimately die for the sins of man. Jesus in His incarnation opened the way to eternal life with God, and when He comes again He will come in glory to rule and reign.
If those seven reasons aren't enough to prompt you to read this short book, then consider the great lesson for us. Edom was to be judged for two reasons: 1) their pride and 2) their mistreatment of their brother. Remember, that the Edomites were the descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother. And Jacob was the father of the nation of Israel. So the nation of Edom really did fail to show love to their brother, the nation of Israel.
This reminds us that Jesus gave us two great commandments:
- to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind (Mat 22:37). That can't be done when one's heart is filled with pride, his desires are selfish, and his mind is on himself.
- to love your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10:27). Mistreatment of a brother (neighbor) is a direct violation of this commandment. Jesus said that people will know we are His disciples by our love for one another (John 13:34-36).
The Book of Obadiah reminds us that God will judge all who do not live in accordance with His Holy purpose and plan. As Christians, of course, we will never be judged unworthy for our justification in salvation. Our justification is secure because Jesus secured it for us (Read: Can I lose my salvation? and The Gift of SalvaTION: Justification & Imputation) However, we will be judged for our worthiness to serve Jesus in His coming Kingdom. How we live, and how we treat others, will determine our rewards. We certainly want to receive any reward that Jesus might have for us, so determine to learn from the Edomites. Love the one true God and love your neighbor! In doing so you will honor Jesus and glorify His name.
Start Reading Now
Get started by watching this short overview of the Book of Obadiah. Then, pick up your Bible and read the entire book. It's ONLY 21 verses. No excuse of "not enough time." In fact, the book is so short that it's easy to miss in the Bible. Look for Obadiah right after Amos and before Jonah. Receive the blessing of reading this book.
Be Ready Always...
to give a reason for the Hope that you have (1 Peter 3:15). When you can't share the gospel with your words, share it by leaving tracts that tell people about God's grace.
When leaving a tract, always be diligent to pray for the short gospel message. Pray that it be found by someone who is in need of Jesus' saving grace, and pray that the person will have a tender heart and open ears to receive the gift Jesus desires to give them.
By the power of the Holy Spirit, even a small tract can help in turning a broken, sinful person from darkness to light.

DULUTH - Duluth's Aerial Lift Bridge, when seen from directly above, is an intimidating structure. The usual ground-view doesn't adequately show off its height and mass and the way it is put together, according to Whitney Horky, who has looked down from the seat of her paramotor to see the bridge directly beneath her dangling feet.
(Though, when flying, Horky refers to her feet as "landing gear.")
"It's incredible how humans on Earth get used to a certain view," she said.
Horky and her boyfriend, James Jensen, are among a relatively small group of adventurers taking in the vistas from hundreds of feet above the ground - motorized paragliders harnessed on their backs. He has been at it for more than a year; she started a few months ago, unable to sit idly by and watch him.
"I wasn't going to stay on the ground long," she said.
A paramotor looks like a relic from early aviation, falling somewhere between a pair of wings strapped to a back and a flying machine. A chair, similar to a car seat, is strapped to a protective cage and a propeller. There is a motor, fuel tank and 20-plus-foot canopy.
A pilot wears the 50-pound gear like a backpack and is strapped into the seat.
Horky and Jensen jokingly refer to it as flying with a glorified lawn mower and a bedsheet.
A pilot starts out running, described as a short-strided "turkey-hopping," and continues the motion into the sky, until about 15-20 feet above ground - in case the flight doesn't take.
"You want to be able to have your landing gear down," Horky said.
Accidents happen, but typically when the pilot is on the ground, according to Doug Buhr of Twin Ports Powered Paragliding. Because of the canopy, mid-flight engine loss isn't a disaster.
"It's the most fun form of aviation there is," said Buhr, who said he has been flying anything he can since the 1990s. "It's like you're flying your lawn chair."
He estimated that there are about 600 people actively flying in the United States. The niche sport is, at this point, unregulated.
Taking flight
Both Horky and Jensen are adventurers. His resume includes two careers, both extreme enough to be featured as televised reality series. He has jumped out of airplanes and recently tried to paddle the Mississippi River, but was thwarted when a storm took his canoe. He paramotored through the winter and once buzzed by a bystander who wanted a hi-five.
Horky, 31, has skydived, enjoys camping and has traveled the world alone. This is the first extreme sport she has invested in, she said.
Within the relationship, he is the wild one and she is the voice of reason. Her go-to in suspect weather: You never have to fly.
Jensen, who started paramotoring last summer, is self-taught. He used to wonder what the ground looked like from the air, he said, then drones came along. He thought that was good enough until he saw a video of a paramotorer in Dubai.
For his first flight, Jensen, 30, scouted out a private airstrip and got approval from its owner. On the big day, he knocked on the property owner's door and no one was home. No biggie.
"Send it," Jensen recalled thinking.
That inaugural flight, he said, was like experiencing the first drop on a roller coaster - for 10 minutes straight.
Horky opted for a flying mentor, Buhr, and began the early training phases this past winter. In the spring, she began working with the canopy, referred to as a wing.
"Once you grasp that, you throw an engine on your back and go for it," she said.
Horky got her groove during a fly-in - a meetup with other enthusiasts.
"It's amazing," she said. "There aren't a lot of descriptive words for it. It's very freeing. You pretty much always have a smile on your face."
They try to get out a couple times a week - though recently managed to hit five-out-of-six days - just before sundown.
"It's like really good sex," Jensen said. "You forget how good it is, then you have it."
Throwing wings to the wind
The couple met up with Buhr at the Richard I. Bong Airport in Superior in the early evening this past week. The temperature was in the low 80s, the wind on the brink of too windy. The crew waited it out. Waiting is so common in the sport that it has its own term: parawaiting.
After more than an hour, Jensen decided to throw caution - and his wing - to the wind.
"I'm going to go cool down," he announced.
Jensen fired up his motor, the whir consistent with a lawn mower, ran about 20 yards and ascended into the air - first buzzing close over the heads of his friends. Big grin. The head-wind slowed him; the tailwind sent him sailing back beyond his starting point.
Later, closer to sunset when the wind had died down, Horky, Buhr and Jensen all got a chance to fly. A photographer reported that a passing train whistled at Jensen, and his responding whoop could be heard from the ground.
It's really a sport for anyone, Buhr said. It isn't cost-prohibitive - gear is about the same as a decent motorcycle. A good judge of whether it's a match, according to Horky:
"YouTube paramotoring," she said. "That's a great place to start. Get out and see it in person. It'll either put you in love with it or scare you away."

Paint of Course!
What does a painter do when there are tons of things to finish, creative tasks to accomplish, and work to be done? Paint of course! Life is just like high school and college sometimes and it doesn't matter if the "tasks" are ones that you enjoy doing- they are still tasks and my strange way of working is when there is work to be done I all of a sudden get all kinds of creative ideas that seem to take over and the next thing you know I am working on three large paintings at the same time! Oh well....tommorrow is another day and there is nothing like some last minute pressure to motivate me to get things done!!

First, let's get this fact straight that there are NO AFNOR or ISO standards for "therapeutic grade" essential oils. Some might claim there is, but that is simply not true. As Rabbi Google the internet will show you will find that the term is trademarked by a MLM essential oil companies. There are numerous articles by chemists, trained and certified aroma therapists explaining and re-educating the masses. See also NAHA. FOR MORE SAFETY GUIDELINES AND TIP SEE OUR "GENERAL SAFETY" PAGE
The question as to whether or not our oils can be used internally, most always, comes from a MLM essential oil company customer, distributor or someone who has read their marketing materials. Again, the term, "therapeutic grade essential oil" is trademarked. I know, I was once an MLM distributor briefly before this millennia and I believed everything I was taught. After all, they have paid lawyers, chemists and marketing departments to back them up. However I have 12 years of experience in the perfumery business and even that has limits so some of their claims I knew were bogus which is why it was only brief time for me to be involved with that MLM company.
To give the MLM companies the benefit of the doubt, I would suspect that, originally, the term was used to distinguish their oils from those that were adulterated and made with chemicals. These types of food grade or fragrant grade oils are prevalent and are what a majority of manufacturers and those untrained in natural health use for candle, soap making, etc. I believe the MLM companies wanted to convey that their oils were pure and meant for restorative health purposes. I would further guess that it may be because governing authorities CENSOR what one can say in regards to NATURAL healing modalities. In fact, one may not use the words "healing, cure, or treat" in regards to an oil, herb, vitamin, mineral, etc…Thus, the word "therapeutic" became an adjective to denote that their oils were in a different class and pure. Additionally, hopefully, it was a safer term to use in order to avoid shutdowns by the AMA and FDA. When a customer complains of adverse reaction after using the MLM company oils they simply say "you are detoxing".
However, with the essential oil industry growing by leaps and bounds and much competition with great opportunity to take control of the market (perhaps motivated by greed), I believe the term began to be used as a legal loophole of misinformation and advertising hype and became deceptive. The problem is that many people who came from the MLM background and not directly into being a trained aroma-therapist, wanted to denote that our oils, too, were pure, undefiled and were worthy of the of adjective "therapeutic." How else were they going to convey that to the shopping customer when reading catalogs and websites?
MLM companies have recently in the last 15 years suggested that taking oils in gel capsules, but soon the capsule disappeared and now a drop or two in water can be ingested according to their marketing materials and resources. Do not get me started on the gel capsule source. This practice has proven to be completely unsafe.
A certified trained aroma-therapist study for approximately 3-6 years with the basic chemistry of oils required and without MLM or specific brand bias. Their certification requires considerably much more training than what an MLM distributor receives which is carefully orchestrated to build loyalty only to their brand. Usually, their primary goal is to use the power of relationships to sign up people which the momentum needs to ever be sustained. This is in contrast to the trained aromatherapist who is ever increasing knowledge, sourcing their own oils and truly KNOWS what is going into their bottled product.
And by the way why pay 12 people for the oils? Cost can be kept lowered by buying from a small quality company, a company that works directly with the distillers and growers to bring the oils directly to the customer without the middle man.
Many times you will notice that what is the MLM company's wholesale price is actually what should be the real retail price. But when you are paying for an up-line their retail price is higher. And because they have that MLM company name their customers do believe they are paying same or higher cost, for higher quality and that is not true at all. The reality they are paying for the name only and not necessarily for high quality. This is just price gouging.
Example of price gouging is a 15 ml organic high quality Frankincense Boswellia sacra retails around $65-$75. MLM companies retail price for 15ml Frankincense Boswellia sacra anywhere from $99-$122 and says wholesale is $65-$85. One company says $55 for a 5ml when it should retail $34-$36. Something is not right here and on top of that you are required to buy $65-$100 a month every month depending on which company you chose to sign up with and as I always say let's "build the Holy Temple not the Pharoah's Pyramids".
NOTE: If you do have a favorite MLM company oil just keep in mind you are paying higher prices for name only and not specifically for quality. If you are ok with that then keep using that brand you like and let us the certified Aromatherapists teach you how to properly use them.
Now lets back to Safety and digesting Essential oils.
Ingesting Essential Oils
While some essential oils might be claimed to be generally considered safe to ingest in very tiny small quantities, you should never ingest any essential oil without medical supervision. If you are not a doctor with a medical degree then you cannot tell someone to ingest any oil for any reason. Even though essential oils are used in foodstuff, packaged foods, and even mentioned in many popular recipes, you never know how your body will react. Please be smart, and consult your medical physician first. Essential oils can and do interact with medications and can thin the blood which could be dangerous for someone who has a bleeding disorder or those taking blood thinner medications. See our extensive list here
As a whole, a trained certified Arom-therapist would NEVER make such a blanket statement as to the internal use NO MATTER how pure, therapeutic or high quality a specific oil or brand is!
Copyright Design by Rivka Sari (c) 2004 Do not copy without permission
Essential oils are best used on skin diffused with a carrier so it works as a time-release capsule that will go to the bloodstream slowly. If you feel the need to have a quicker effect consider using fresh raw herbs as a tincture or add quantities prescribed by a certified herbalist, nutritionist, or a certified medical naturopathic physician. When herbs are added to diet properly then that will not overload your body and liver. Never underestimate what raw herbs can do and a good healthy diet can do.. Essential oils is known to work best with a healthy diet and exercise.
Applying Essential Oils to Skin
Essential oils should never be applied directly to the skin. While your skin may not react to direct application of some essential oils, it does not mean that the application is not harmful and could cause sensitivity or have severe reactions. A good rule is to dilute an essential oil to be used topically following the 1-2% rule. That is at least 1-2% of your solution should be an essential oil, while the remaining 98-99% is a carrier oil. This formula does vary from one Aroma-therapist to another but are close in comparisons. If you feel the need to use a stronger ratio, please consult a Professional or a Certified Clinical Aroma-therapist.
Factors that influence the safety of essential oils include
1. Quality of essential oil being utilized: Adulterated essential oils increase the likelihood of adverse response and hence the need for pure, authentic, and organic if possible, genuine essential oils are of the utmost importance.
2. The chemical composition of the oil: Essential oils rich in aldehydes (e.g., citronellal, citral) and phenols (e.g., cinnamic aldehyde, eugenol) may cause skin reactions. Essential oils rich in these constituents should always be diluted prior to application to the skin. According to Schnaubelt, "diluting such oils so that the resulting solution becomes non-irritant, may require diluting them to concentrations much lower than in normal circumstances. Another option is to blend such irritant oils asymmetrically with other essential oils, which mitigate their irritant effects."
3. Method of application: Essential oils may be applied on the skin (dermal application), inhaled, diffused or taken internally with supervision of a Certified Aromatherapist. Each of these methods have safety issues which need to be considered. The potential safety concerns with dermal application will be discussed below. With regard to inhalation, inhalation, from a safety standpoint, presents a very low level of risk to most people. Even in a relatively small closed room, and assuming 100% evaporation, the concentration of any essential oil (or component thereof) is unlikely to reach a dangerous level, either from aromatherapy massage or from essential oil vaporization.
Tisserand and Balacs point out that "the only likely risk would be from prolonged exposure (perhaps 1 hour or more) to relatively high levels of essential oil vapor could lead to headaches, vertigo, nausea and lethargy". This meaning that oils do not have to be ingested to cause an adverse reaction. Another example is a poisonous gas does not need to be swallowed for it to enter the bloodstream to kill you. So be wise in how much you do inhale and for how long.
4. Dosage/dilution to be applied: Most aromatherapy oil based blends will be between 1 and 5 percent dilutions, which typically does not represent a safety concern. As one increases dilution, potential dermal (skin) reactions may take place depending on the individual essential oil, the area in which the oil is applied, and other factors related to the client's own sensitivity levels. Any excessive usage of essential oils may cause irritation or other undesired effects due to their lipophilic nature.
5. The integrity of the skin: Damaged, diseased, or inflamed skin is often more permeable to essential oils and may be more sensitive to dermal reactions. It is potentially dangerous to put undiluted essential oils on to damaged, diseased or inflamed skin. Under these circumstances the skin condition may be worsened, and larger amounts of oil than normal will be absorbed. Sensitization reactions are also more likely to occur.
6. Age of client: Infants, toddlers, and young children are more sensitive to the potency of essential oils and safe dilutions include .5 – 2.5% depending on the condition. Also, some essential oils should simply be avoided for this population, e.g. Birch or Wintergreen, which are both rich in methyl salicylate and Peppermint. Elderly clients may have more skin sensitivities so a reduced concentration/dilution may be indicated.
Nursing Women and Children
Women and children should avoid essential oils unless first consulted by a medical professional or natrapath physician. You may sometimes see articles on this website which talk about using essential oils with children, and while many are generally considered safe, you should use your best judgment and research before exposing your child to any essential oil. Here at Aytz Chayim we do know oils can be beneficial to children over the age of 2, but again it is about being safe and using good judgment to receive the full benefits of essential oils at any age.
See PDF of Pregnancy Safety here at NAHA website
Essential Oils & Animals
While essential oils can be used effectively on animals, it is generally wise to first consult with your veterinarian. Since the animal has no say in the matter, the least you can do is research. By using essential oils on animals, you can build up internal toxins and the animal which could lead to illness or death.
The quality and type of oil is paramount when researching essential oil treatments for animals. Dilute 4 times as much as you would for a human and watch carefully for side-effects and changes in mood. Avoid using essential oils on sensitive areas such as the mouth, genitals, nose, and eyes. Since cats are especially sensitive to smells and essential oils, it is recommended to abstain from using oils with them. Do not ever pour essential oils into a fish bowl
Essential oils are concentrated and should be used wisely and carefully like any medication essential oils can have side effects too.

FC United manager Karl Marginson insists he isn't revelling in the demise of rivals Northwich Victoria despite the Cheshire club's impending expulsion from the Evo-Stik League having handed the Rebels an unexpected promotion lifeline.
The teams meet in a closing-day Premier Division showdown at Gigg Lane on Saturday with FC knowing sixth place – the position they occupied as they prepared to entertain relegated Burscough tonight – could now be enough to provide them with a back-door route into the play-offs.
Whoever finishes sixth will take Northwich's place in the end-of-season promotion knockout if Vics, who appeared to have already qualified, lose an appeal they say they're planning to lodge with the FA against the league management's bombshell decision to boot them out for alleged financial irregularities.
That would clearly be good news for FC, whose hopes of qualifying for the play-offs in their own right were left hanging in the balance as they slumped to a third successive defeat in crashing 2-1 at Matlock at the weekend.
But Marginson nevertheless claims he takes little pleasure in Northwich's plight, saying: "This situation has obviously helped us but it's a huge shame for everyone connected with Vics, a club with a long and proud history.
"It's a very worrying time for them and I genuinely feel sorry for their supporters. Everyone here at FC United extends them our sympathies."
Marginson was, however, less generous towards his own players after seeing them beaten for the third time in eight days at Matlock in the wake of Easter losses to Buxton and neighbours Ashton United.
Trailing after nine minutes, the Rebels were gifted an equaliser when Matlock's Adam Yates fired into his own net, only to then fall to a 74th minute Liam King goal.
FC once again badly missed star striker Mike Norton and defender Dean Stott as each served out three-match bans.
"We shot ourselves in the foot," rapped Marginson. "It was a missed opportunity, there's no doubt about it.
"We deserved a point but you don't always get what you deserve in football. We know we should have done better."

Hello Kitty Roasted Seasoned Seaweed
Well, it finally happened. The last product in the world that did not have a Hello Kitty variant has been kittyfied. The final obstacle to a completely Hello Kitty existence has been removed. It's now possible to wake up in a Hello Kitty bed, pull down the Hello Kitty sheets, put on Hello Kitty clothes, grab a Hello Kitty bag (filled with Hello Kitty pencils and Hello Kitty books), get in the Hello Kitty car, and go to whichever Hello Kitty place you need go. You might go to Hello Kitty school, or your Hello Kitty job, or even Hello Kitty university (if you can pass the Hello Kitty admission test). If you've been good, you might get to go on a Hello Kitty vacation. If you've been bad, you might find yourself in Hello Kitty jail.
You can eat your Hello Kitty hamburgers with Hello Kitty fries, or maybe have a Hello Kitty salad if you're feeling a bit bloated. But don't worry about that too much, or else you might end up in the Hello Kitty eating disorder clinic. Be sure to feed your Hello Kitty cat and your Hello Kitty dog. If you're into exotic pets and have pre-ordered the Hello Kitty snake, please allow four to six weeks for delivery.
And finally, as the crowning moment of the Hello Kitty experience, enjoy some Hello Kitty Roasted Seasoned Seaweed. The last vestige of non-Hello Kitty existence has been eliminated. My life is comp…your life…your life is now complete.
800 Days of AFC
Today marks the 800th day of the existence of Armenian Fungus Cake, and the exact moment of this post's publication is 69,105,000 seconds since the first article ever appeared on this site. Things like years and months are irrelevant; these are the types of milestones we observe here.
If we'd continued at our original rate of one article per author per weekday, we'd have a little over 1,000 articles on the site by now. Of course that's not a sustainable level of creativity, so we're instead hoping to start bringing you something good every week or so instead. We've been promising a detailed review of The Sandwich That Killed Elvis for almost two years now. This might be the year it finally happens…
Bikano Badam Lachha
We at Armenian Fungus Cake are sad to report that there seems to have been some sort of terrible accident in the Bikano snack factory. That's the only possible explanation for Bikano Badam Lachha. Without any direct evidence, it's hard to say exactly what happened, but it appears to have gone something like this:
There were apparently several vats of oil, various containers of nuts, assorted spices, and a large number of potatoes. These things all seem to have been stored in close proximity to each other. Some sort of spontaneous reaction started in the potatoes which caused them to begin seething and rumbling. The vibrations from all these perturbed potatoes then caused the nuts, oil, and spices to spill out and to form a giant masala mess. Then to add to the chaos, the potatoes started popping. The combination of nuts, spices, oil, and exploded potatoes apparently formed Badam Lachha. We're not sure of the actual meaning of "Badam Lachha", but we think it might mean "be careful where you put your potatoes".
This isn't to say that Badam Lachha isn't delicious, just that it clearly must have been the result of some unexpectedly ruptured tubers. How else can you explain this odd combination of nuts and spices, not to mention all of those shredded potatoes?
Regent Cheese Rings
Recently, we received an unsolicited application from someone who wanted to join our culinary crime-fighting team. I'm not quite sure who started the rumor that the Federal Bureau of Foreign Culinary Relations has money to pay for more staff, but the job market is bad these days and I suppose people will lower themselves to anything when they're desperate.
The anonymous applicant forgot to include his name or any contact information, so we couldn't hire him even if we wanted to. He also didn't really specify how he'd be useful to the FBFCR. He didn't say that he'd be willing to taste frightening fish snacks, nor did he claim to have any special knowledge that might allow us to finally defeat the Croatian Clown Conglomerate. In fact, his whole pitch seemed to be pictorial in nature. Apparently, his only real skill is the ability to shoot cheese rings from his hands. Well that, and the ability to dress up in tight-fitting costumes, but the last thing we need is any more of that going on at the office.
I'm sure he thought that including a bag of his hand secretions would help to seal the deal, but come on, that was really a bit creepy. I mean, they tasted good and all, but don't send that stuff with your job application. It just doesn't look right.
Behold the Hedgehog!
You might have noticed that we haven't been quite as prolific in our production of playful punditry lately. Of course there was a perfectly good reason for this. You see, a bit of acronym confusion caused us to get mixed up in a bit of a situation. You might recall that the countries of East Mangoustan and West Mangoustan were happily reunited some time ago, at which point we thought our involvement with them and their politics had come to an end.
Unfortunately, relations between the government of unified Mangoustan and residents of the former East Mangoustan have become quite strained. The former East Mangoustanis feel that they aren't gaining the economic benefits that they were promised during the reunification process. One resident was heard to remark, "Before, everyone could afford corn and mustard, but no one could afford Shocking Popping Candy. Now, everyone can afford Shocking Popping Candy, but no one can afford corn and mustard!"
In an effort to resolve these mounting tensions, the Mangoustanis enlisted the help of the FBFCR. That is, the Federal Bureau of Foreign Cultural Relations. But, as you can see, that FBFCR shares an acronym with our FBFCR. As you've probably guessed, their specialty is cultural, and ours is culinary. But when the assignment arrived in our mailbox, we didn't ask too many questions. We needed the money, and we'd dealt with the Mangoustanis before. Besides, how hard could it possibly be to appease a few angry Mangoustanis?
When I arrived to speak with the leader of the East Mangoustani delegation, I discovered that he didn't actually speak English. I was instructed to negotiate with him in his native Mangoustani language. Apparently the FBFCR (the cultural one) has several Mangoustani speakers on its staff. Our FBFCR (the culinary one) has smartphones with translation apps, which seemed to be just as good. I tapped on "Good Quality Translatorium App (Free Edition)", set it for English to Mangoustani, and carefully typed a greeting for the East Mangoustani representative.
The next few seconds were a blur. The phone said something in its synthesized voice, and the East Mangoustani immediately looked angry and horrified. The next thing I knew, angry bodyguards with frighteningly big guns were hauling me out of the building. They tossed me in the street and shouted something that I couldn't understand. After I had a chance to compose myself, I looked at my phone and found that it had translated my ordinary greeting as "behold the hedgehog!"
Normally a translational gaffe such as this one would only result in a bit of laughter. The problem is that to former East Mangoustanis, the hedgehog symbolizes the border guards who once occupied the towers along the Jaquier Wall. Obviously I didn't intend to invoke such a bad memory, but the FBFCR refused to pay $1.99 for the upgraded version of Good Quality Translatorium App so I had to use what was available.
Back at the FBFCR office (the culinary one), Angie and the Helmuts had already heard about what happened and were scrambling to figure out how to avoid an international incident. Lil' Willy was also trying to get in on the discussion, but no one ever listens to him. The Helmuts suggested that I should be publicly fired and replaced with a giant plush caterpillar. Unfortunately, Angie had another idea. She said that the only way we could possible rectify the situation is for me to learn the Mangoustani language and go back to negotiate with the faction leader in his native tongue. The idea of simply referring this case back to the FBFCR (the cultural one) never crossed her mind. Once Angie gets started on something, she never lets anyone else finish it.
So, to make a long story short, the FBFCR (culinary) ordered the 28-volume set "A Basic Introduction to Mangoustani" from the FBFCR (cultural). They wouldn't spend $1.99 to get me an app that can properly translate Mangoustani, but they gladly spent $999.95 on books about learning Mangoustani.
I've only looked at Volume 1 so far. It includes a chapter on the seven "genders" of Mangoustani nouns: masculine, feminine, neuter, royal, canine, zephyrous, and quadratic. It also has a sidebar with some mnemonic techniques for remembering how to decline a zephyrous noun when speaking to someone who is wearing a fedora. I'm a little afraid of what might be in Volume 2…

Weight in adolescence associated with rectal cancer risk
A study by researchers form Rabin Medical Center and the Tel Aviv University in Israel has uncovered a link between being overweight or obese in adolescence and an increased risk of developing colon cancer in adulthood.
Published in the journal Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society, the findings revealed that obesity was also associated with an elevated risk of developing rectal cancer, and come at a time of growing concern about the impact of adolescent overweight and obesity on chronic disease later in life.
The study, 'Adolescent body mass index and risk of colon and rectal cancer in a cohort of 1.79 million Israeli men and women: A population-based study', results on a potential link between adolescent obesity and the risk of colorectal cancer are conflicting, and many of the studies' designs have been limited. To provide more clarity, Professor Zohar and his colleagues analysed information on 1,087,358 Jewish males and 707,212 Jewish females who underwent health examinations, including measures of body mass index (BMI), at age 16 to 19 years (predominantly aged 17 years) between 1967 and 2002. Individuals were followed to 2012.
Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) for cancer according to age- and sex-adjusted BMI percentiles from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (overweight, 85th percentile to <95th percentile; obesity, ≥95th percentile).
Over a median follow-up of 23 years, 2967 new cases of colorectal cancer were identified, including 1977 among men (1403 colon, 574 rectum) and 990 among women (764 colon, 226 rectum). Overweight and obesity were associated with 53% and 54% higher risks of colon cancer for men and women, respectively. Obesity was associated with a 71% increased risk of rectal cancer in men and more than a twofold increased risk in women.
Over a median follow-up of 23 years, they identified 2,967 incidence cases of colorectal cancer, including 1,977 among men (1,403 in the colon and 574 in the rectum) and 990 among women (764 in the colon and 226 in the rectum).
Overweight and obesity were associated with the risk for colon cancer among both men (HR for overweight, 1.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28-1.84; HR for obesity, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.15-2.06; statistically significant from a BMI 23.4 kg/m2 [spline analysis]) and women (HR for overweight, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.22-1.93; HR for obesity, 1.51; 95% CI, 0.89-2.57; significant from a BMI 23.6 kg/m2).
Obesity, but not overweight, was associated with a risk for rectal cancer among men (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.11-2.65; significant from a BMI 29.6 kg/m2) and women (HR, 2.03; 95% CI, 0.90-4.58; significant from a BMI 30.6 kg/m2).
Although the researchers acknowledge that the study cohort was still young, with the median age at colorectal cancer diagnosis of 49.4 years, and that the study also lacked data on diet, physical activity, smoking and family history, which might affect risk estimates, they nevertheless concluded that being overweight or obese in adolescence was associated with an increased risk of subsequent colon cancers in men and women, whereas obesity was associated with rectal cancer.
"This is a huge cohort with a minimum follow up of ten years, and all individuals had measured BMI, not just reported or recalled," said Professor Levi. "This is the largest study ever, including both men and women, and it had the power to prove the importance of BMI at age 17 on events later in life."

Social References & Sommergrippe: A Brief Pokémon Go Diary
At a time when news cycles seem laden with grimness and vexation, I feel it my duty here to counter with a bit of levity and distraction. And what better candidate for this than Pokémon Go.
Likely you already know a thing or three about Niantic's latest augmented reality game for iOS and Android, so I'm sure you don't need me telling you what's what. Actually, this whole craze almost snuck up on me. I'd hardly term myself a Pokémon aficionado, let alone much of a gamer: I'm not very competitive, or social, and I tend to fold under pressure when it comes to things like clocks and hit points. Games on my iPhone tend to be of the Neko Atsume variety.
On the other hand, it's funny to be in a position to watch something go viral. What starts as a distant tittering online rumor amongst your friends living oceans away swiftly spills onto the street right in front of you. And as you feel yourself on the brink of this new wave of (albeit fleeting) cultural obsession, it's good to have a bit of a social reference. It's hip to not be above the fad—"Pssh, been there, tried it, deleted the app." But it's also annoying to be that one person going, "Huh, what's a Pokémon?"
And so, dear Reader, for the sake of social reference, here I Go:
Day 1: Speaking of things going viral, my signing up for Pokémon Go just happens to coincide with my coming down with a nasty head cold. I only get so far as creating my character, picking out my cute little trainer clothes, and capturing my first Pokémon, a Charmander encountered in my dog's favorite sleeping corner. The servers go down shortly thereafter, and I end up forgetting all about the game, because, you know, sick.
Day 4: A Facebook meme poking fun at Poké-peeps reminds me "oh hey, I have an account", so I try logging in on the way back from picking up more Sinupret and Hustenbonbons at the Apotheke. Ah, but the servers are down again …
Day 5: Headcold has migrated to my chest. Still haven't gone outside with the game, but I've finally got the app up and running. I've discovered I can reach three PokéStops from my nest of crumpled tissues and cough drop wrappers, so I set to the unimaginative task of stocking up on PokéBalls while binging on Netflix, thinking that's the extent of it whilst I'm bedridden.
Then, alerted to the appearance of a Pidgey on my keyboard—Boom, captured. The realization settles in that I don't have to get up to catch Pokémon. I can do this. Visited by another, and then another, and another: boom, boom, boom, and quickly I'm already at Level 3 without ever leaving the sofa. I'm pretty good at this.
Nightfall: My partner takes the dog out for a run, leaving me alone with my electronic devices. Mood fortified by steaming mug after steaming mug of cold remedy concoction (for my Sommergrippe peeps, it's fresh lemon and ginger, honey, ground black pepper, and a generous squeeze of Sriracha), I'm up off the sofa now, stalking my hallway for Pokémon, really starting to get the hang of this indoor collection business.
Someone has set up a Lure Module on one of the PokéStops nearby. According to the game, this is "a module that attracts Pokémon to a PokéStop for 30 min. The effect benefits other people nearby." Heck yeah, it does. Except as I'm snagging convenient Rattatas and Zubats, I hesitate, wondering, am I poaching someone else's stuff? I steal out onto the balcony and scan the façade of the building across the street for the mysterious Lure owner, but my gaze is met only by impassive windows. It could be anyone ...
Day 6, Morning: Feeling quite a bit better, so I log into work for a bit. Meanwhile, I've sorted out my Lure Module social anxiety. This is convenient because two more Lure Modules have been set nearby, so I cash in and level up. There's a Pokémon Gym just down the street, marked by a Historische Grundwasserpumpe, actually a rather groddy water basin where birds like to dunk (and abandon) food scraps. It's out of range in terms of proper Gym-ing, whatever that entails, but evidently I can still pester Professor Willow from a distance. He's been telling me I need to come back when I'm Level 5, and now that I am, I finally get the go-ahead to pick my team—Go Team Mystic!
Afternoon: I head up to the park with my dog. I'm pretty clandestine with my phone on the way there, just keeping the game running while it's in my bag. But I quickly realize I'm hardly the only person intent on Pokémon Go, on the street and in the park itself. I get the impression of other people shuffling along similar purposes, phones in hand. There's a certain unmistakable stance or gait. Usually everyone seems much more purposeful, more destination-oriented in their movements on the street, but today there's a meandering sort of feeling, a sense of wandering, searching, questing, invoking a childlike sense of adventure.
At first I feel weird about having to pull over periodically with the dog so I can get better PokéBall aim, but after a little while I just accept that this stutter-stop foot traffic is our new reality, so embrace it—hold up, pupster, I really need to catch this guy.
Day 5: Overdid it yesterday with the Pokémon: under the weather again. Someone sets up another Lure Module outside my building. From the balcony I can see a cluster of random individuals strung out along the curb facing us, faces buried in their smartphone screens. Of course, I'm upstairs doing the exact same thing.
When the Lure Module expires, it's like witnessing the breaking of a spell. People look around, pocket their phones, move on. As do I.
It's kinda cute how the game is attracting all types, not just kids. Teens and young adults, sure. But also parents teaming up with little tykes. Gaggles of elderly persons thumbing their phone screes. Businessmen waiting for the tram. Heavily-tattooed hipsters palming their phones, but I recognize the screen as it dangles from their wrist. Tired young parents pushing around baby carriages. Other dog owners wrangling beasts both real and digital. There's a weird sort of solidarity.
Day 7: Cold symptoms finally abating. Energy returning. Unfortunately, Pokémon interest beginning to wane. I got what I was looking for, my social reference. And I sense the peripheral zeal also starting to wind down as the novelty inevitably wears off, and it becomes just another thing to do to pass the while. For me, it's more of a multitasking thing. Incubating eggs whilst I make the long daily circuit with my dog.
Meanwhile, even Pokémon Go finds itself in the news with tales of poor judgment and sometimes dire consequences. In augmented reality, lines are wont to blur between game and reality. I'm not unappreciative of the parallels, my pursuing Spearows and Pidgeys in my screen and my dog threatening to chase real sparrows and pigeons through the brush along Karl-Marx-Allee. Lest either of us forgets himself and goes running foolishly into traffic, like the loading screen says, "Remember to be alert at all times. Stay aware of your surroundings."
And you too, dear Reader, be safe out there, onscreen and off.

In this survey of the atoning sacrifice of Christ, we are reminded that He chose to give all that was needed to pay the penalty for sin. The cross proclaims the wonder of God's grace and the depth of His love for us.
26for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Ativan Combats Anxiety
Lorazepam Ativan For Sale
There are many good reasons to take Ativan or Lorazepam. First and foremost, this prescription-only medication which is a benzodiazepine is used for the treatment of anxiety. It is designed to slow brain activity in a patient with anxiety wherein the person feels more calm and relaxed. Ativan also is used to treat a variety of conditions including irritable bowel syndrome, epilepsy, sleep disorders and alcohol withdrawal. Additionally, it is used to treat chemotherapy patients by providing them with relief from nausea and vomiting associated with the combination of chemotherapy drugs they are taking.
Ativan Price
Ativan is typically prescribed for a short period of time when used for the treatment of anxiety and insomnia. While Ativan is well tolerated by most people, this medication is not for everyone. For instance, women who are pregnant should avoid taking this drug as it can do harm to an unborn baby. Additionally, Ativan should not be used by people with known drug or alcohol addiction problems nor by those patients who have liver or kidney disease.
Cheapest Lorazepam Online
By far, one of the main reasons to take Ativan is for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder. When a patient is diagnosed with this condition, he or she has been doing a lot of worrying while feeling very anxious for a considerable amount of time. When this type of patient takes Ativan, the drug acts on the receptors in the brain called GABA. This releases a neurotransmitter that acts as a natural nerve calming agent that's designed to keep the nerve activity in the brain balanced. As a result, the anxiety in the patient is reduced while sleepiness is induced.

Spring 2018 Work In Progress
This blog post is to share our Work In Progress with you. Feel free to send us any comments or feedback. The following features will be included in the next major release of GroupCamp.
- New Personal Dashboard
- New Report Spam feature
- New Recent Files app menu
- New unified User window
Previewing the new GroupCamp User Interface
Dear GroupCamp Users,
As you may know GroupCamp is getting ready to launch new offerings for the end of this year and we needed a new User Interface (UI) which would easily accomodate those new applications while keeping or improving your existing user experience.
We are happy to announce that the user interface is ready to be launched and this blog post describes the main changes in the upcoming UI.
1. Introducing the new sidebar on the left
The new User Interface has a new sidebar on the left. The project browing menu therefore moves from the top menu bar to the side bar (click on My Projects). You can also, if you are an Administrator or a Manager, create a new project right from the side bar.
You'll also see a mention of 'Open Projects'. I'll cover this with further details below.
Please note that you can hide the sidebar on the left by clicking on the toggle icon in the top menu bar.
2. New Packs in the left hand pane (Network, Tracking)
The sidebar on the left is where GroupCamp's new application packs will appear. So you can already see what will be the premise of our planned Enterprise Social Network offering (under Network) and our Tracking offering which is where we hope to bring tracking features such as Expenses and Project costs (on top of the existing time tracking features).
Creating links to shared files in Wiki pages
We know how important it is for our users to have strong integration between GroupCamp apps. We have now added the ability for users to add links to shared files in your project from a wiki page.
As shown in the screenshot below, all shared files are displayed with their respective icons. Mail objects which are forwarded to your projects using the project dropbox email are also displayed.
Send files by email to an online project email address
Use To, Cc or Bcc with your project feed email address to upload your emails and files into GroupCamp projects.
Export your online projects
We are happy to announce that our export function is available for a project. Administrators can now, in the Admin section, under the 'Project' tab export a project. An export file with all the project data is generated and the administrator is notified by email when the file is ready for download.
This week's new updates in GroupCamp Project
We have rolled out our WIKI application in all live accounts, currently in BETA (see previous Blog post).
It's still in BETA since we are still working on it. Please send us feedback or stories on how you are using the Enterprise WIKI. It will help us in building the roadmap for the app. If you're just getting started, please read the WIKI FAQ.
New update: Add followers to your online Discussions
Our Discussions is one of the main used applications with Customers using GroupCamp for online projects to collect new ideas and foster innovation. We are happy to announce a new version of the application to improve collaboration with GroupCamp Project.
As from today discussions gets a new rich editor. The follower and comment system now works the same way as for the Tasks app.
Are you overloaded with obsolete Discussions ? Try closing them.
In rapidly changing projects, the number of on-going discussions can become overwhelming.
You are rapidly facing a huge amount of topics and discussions which do not require any work or comments but which you do not want to delete because they often contain proof of the reasoning behind some of your company's major decisions.
To solve this you can now close Discussions which are no longer active and require no particpation from members.
