Note: this post was submitted as an opinion piece for the Sydney Morning Herald, so hopefully that explains the style in which it was written. As it happened, Fiona Byrne, the Mayor of Marrickville who was at the centre of this particular debate, wrote her own piece which was published in the Herald instead. I can't imagine why they would have wanted something from the Mayor herself rather than an unknown academic, but there you go...! Anyways, it's reproduced here because I might as well not waste the work, and I'm sure this blog will soon have a circulation the size of the Herald's...
Over the last couple of weeks, there has been a loud debate in Sydney over Marrickville Council's potential participation in the Boycott, Divestment and Santions movement against Israel. The debate has drawn attention not only to politics in the Middle East, but also to the role of local government in Sydney.
In arguing against the boycott, its opponents have frequently attacked or derided the notion that a local government should take action on political issues which extend beyond its boundaries – in this case to the other side of the world. Newly-elected NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has told Council in no uncertain terms that the role of local government is to focus on roads, rubbish and rates, and has taken the extraordinary step of threatening to sack the Council if the boycott goes ahead. The Sydney Chamber of Commerce and the Jewish Board of Deputies have also both criticized Council's involvement in matters of foreign investment and policy. More light-heartedly, a Herald editorial made merry at the prospect of Marrickville Council sending troops to Israel if diplomacy failed.
Whatever the merits of this specific boycott proposal, we should reject the notion that local governments should not action on matters that extend beyond their borders. We live in an increasingly inter-connected and globalised world, and local governments have a vital role to play in helping us to take action on a whole range of issues across a variety of scales.

Erectile dysfunction, or impotence as it is known in the mainstream population, is a condition where a man has the inability to get an erection or keep it firm enough to have sexual intercourse. Having erection trouble now and then isn't necessarily a reason to panic or jump to the conclusion that you have a problem. Signs of erectile dysfunction can build slowly so make sure you are mindful of you see your sexual performance sipping. If erectile dysfunction (ED) is an ongoing issue though it can impact many areas of your health, happiness, and day to day life. Problems getting or keeping an erection may be a sign of a more serious underlying health issue such as heart concerns, certain diseases, and other conditions that need to be taken care of before they grow into more serious issues. If you're concerned about whether you have have ED, then you need to bring it up with your doctor, even if you're embarrassed. Sometimes, treating the condition causing ED is enough to relieve the ED struggle and other times some additional medications or other direct treatments might be needed to bring full relief.
What goes into an erection?
Many people are surprised to learn that male sexual arousal is not as simple as it seems. An erection is a complex process that requires the use of the brain, nerves, hormones, muscles, emotions, and blood vessels. When all of these functions are working properly an erection is easier to attain but ED can result from just a small issue with one of these functions. Additionally, stress and mental health can make erectile dysfunction worse and make the symptoms more potent and more frequent. Sometimes it is a combination of a number of issues that end up being the cause of some men's erectile dysfunction symptoms. For example- a man may have a lot f stress from work and that impacts the power of his erection and he begins to perform not as well. This leads to more stress and fea about his performance and ability to satisfy his partner. He tries hard during intercourse which leads to even worse performance. The downward spiral continues until full blown ED is the diagnosis.
Physical causes of erectile dysfunction
In most cases, erectile dysfunction is a symptom of something physical that is off or going wrong within the male body. Common causes for erectile dysfunction symptoms include:
Psychological causes of erectile dysfunction
The brain is essential to achieving sexual arousal and maintaining an erection. The brain helps in triggering a number of physical events that cause an erection. It begins with feelings of sexual excitement and this triggers the release of hormones that hep increase blood flow, stimulate nerve endings, and leads to the full hard erection men are after. A number of things have to go right in order to reach an erection but there are also a number of things that can interfere with sexual feelings. These psychological issues can lead to ED or make minor cases of ED worse and more severe. These include:
If you think you may been suffering from erectile dysfunction or if you fear your ability to get and maintain a strong erection is slipping, it is time to speak with your doctor. There is not the stigma around ED that there once was so speak up and get the help you need. Our Clinicians can assist you with the correct treatment program to solve your Erectile Dysfunction.

House Launches FCC Investigation; Warns Against Destroying Documents
House Energy & Commerce Committee Looking Into Federal Communications Commission's 'Regulatory Procedures and Practices'
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/8/2008 4:38:00 PM
As promised, the House Energy & Commerce Committee launched a formal investigation into the Federal Communications Commission's "regulatory procedures and practices."
The committee was following up on a Dec. 3 letter asking the chairman about procedural criticisms.
Committee leaders advised Martin Tuesday that they expect FCC staffers to cooperate and ordered the agency to start preserving all documents and e-mails, adding for emphasis that no historical records "shall be destroyed, modified, altered, deleted, removed, relocated, or otherwise negligently or intentionally handled so as to make them inaccessible to the committee."
The investigation followed complaints externally and internally about how items were brought to a vote, information that was leaking to some lobbyists and not to others and complaints about Martin's resolve to vote on modifying the ban on newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership -- which passed Dec. 18 -- despite attempts to stop or delay the vote by members of FCC oversight committees in both Houses.

High School Football Game Postponed by Fire Ants on Field
Football games have been postponed by heavy rains, lightning, power outages: and now, fire ants.
A game in South Carolina was postponed Friday after the referee decided the field was unplayable because of fire ants. Referee Steve Hook says he found 15 to 20 large active fire ant mounds shortly before the game.
Hook says he was worried about players, coaches and officials. Bruce Hulion with the South Carolina High School League says officials properly handled the safety issue.
The home team, Hunter-Kinard-Tyler, tried digging up the ant piles and pouring salt on them before the game was postponed. One fan offered to bring fire-ant poison.
The field was deemed ready Monday night. Calhoun County beat the home team 19-8.

The Nigerian edikaikong soup has over the years topped the list of Nigerian popular soups because of its nutritional value and ease of preparation.
This soup is native to the efiks, people from cross river state. The name edikaikong simply translates to "vegetable soup"
I make more of this soup than every other Nigerian soup simply because it is likely the best source of vitamins known to me.
The only downside to this soup is that it loses its nutritional value when refrigerated over a long period of time. It is advisable to make what would be enough for few days, one week at most. (but that is if you care about its nutritional value, some folks don't remember that part)
Here are all the ingredients for making Nigerian edikaikong soup, you can reduce or increase depending on the number of people you are looking to feed.
Ingredients For Edikaikong
Serving 6×2
Stock fish head (medium size)
500g Dried fish or roasted fish
1 cup of ground or pounded crayfish
Waterleaf (10-12 cups)
Fluted pumpkin (ugwu leaf) (6-7 cups)
1 cup of palm oil
Meat of choice (preferably assorted meat)
Salt and pepper to taste
Maggi or knorr cube (3-4)
1 cup of Periwinkles (optional)
2 spoons of ofor or achi
Half cup of onions
Below are the images of some of the ingredients used for edikaikong soup, I like to pound my pepper/crayfish whenever I am making this delicious soup.
You would find sliced water leaves in one bowl, sliced ugu leaves, 1.5kg of meat (goat meat and cow liver), pounded crafish/pepper and periwinkles.
Have you seen or eaten periwinkles before, I like them so much. You can purchase already-cleaned periwinkle from most Nigerian market, although it is entirely up to you to decide if you want them or not. You will learn more from the video below
How to prepare ofe edikaikong
Parboil meat with necessary ingredients, 2 cubes of maggi, half cup of onions, salt and other spice of choice. (I like to also add kitchen glory (beef seasoning) while parboiling meats but I am not sure if this spice is available in other countries)
Cook for 10 minutes then add water and cook till meat is 70% softer for consumption, wash the dry fish and stock fish with hot water to remove sand and impurities then add to the cooking meat on fire. (You can add this at the beginning if you have very dry (strong) fish
Slice the ugwu leaves and Water leaves to bits (this is normally done by the traders in the market (in Nigeria) but you can slice at home with the help of a very sharp knife and a chopping board.
Pour the leaves separately in bowls and soak in water, wash to remove sand.
It is advisable to wash the leaves thoroughly before slicing or slice before washing, this is actually the major reason why I chose to slice my leaves myself. You can wash the fluted pumpkin before slicing but you will need to slice the water leaves before washing.
To the boiling meat on fire; 1 cup of Palm oil (250ml), it takes lots of oil to prepare this soup. I used about 300ml to make the soup in the video below.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5-10 minutes, be sure the whole combination is boiling with very little trace of water
Stir, taste for salt and pepper before adding the water leaves, stir and allow for about 3 minutes then add the ugwu leaves (fluted pumpkin), stir, add the pounded crayfish/pepper, periwinkles, 1-2 cubes of maggi, stir, taste for salt, add one tablespoon of ground ofor or achi (optional), sprinkle a spoon or a little more, stir. cover half-way and allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes.
You just made delicious edikaiakong soup, you can serve with Nigerian fufu, semo, wheat, eba, or pounded yam. What you find below is a plate of edikaikong soup plus a combination of prepared wheat and semo.

Thank u, am really enjoying the book i bought from u which i receive some weeks back…pls i ve a question for u pls is it possible to use red kidney beans for fruit salad instead of green beans?
October 4, 2014
I love your site. Sometimes when I'm less busy with school, I spend hours here. I'm not married yet so most times I try out your recipes on my roomate. Lol. The last soup I made was the vegetable soup and it didn't turn out like what I see. Mine had water despite I made sure that before adding the veggies there was almost no water in the already cooked ingredients. It was just a thick consistency of meat,oil and the other ingredients. I figured the water came from the waterleaf. My question is how do you deal with the excess water from the waterleaf without overcooking it? (Overcooking it makes it black and that green colour is essential). A friend suggested after washing the waterleaf I should put it in a sieve and allow it drain out completely before adding to the soup.
October 22, 2016
@ chidima, all you need do is find that effik water leaf. The leafs are tiny, those one contains little or no water. It's best for edikaikong soup
April 3, 2019
Please what if you fried the water leaf ?what's the difference.
October 13, 2014

ReVisi n Zines and Collage
Deconstructing my Hollywood dreams, Star Blue Zines B58c no.18
Presented by 2013
ReVisi n Zines and Collage The purpose of curating this exhibit is to consider the use of collage in zines. Barnard's collection has been built to give voice to the subjects they discuss and their authors; in this case however, we reconsider them as visual objects. A significant number of zines are created with some kind of collage, be it traditional or otherwise. Here we are looking at the later. Collage is defined in many ways, but if we simply take the meaning from the French coller, it means to stick or to glue onto a surface. Examples exist which th date as early as the 16 century. Long before its 1912 introduction into the 'fine art' arena, collage was employed to combine disparate elements, most typically paper. Arguably, it was done with regularity and acuity for centuries. Consider the practice of scrapbooking, of paper cutting, and memento mori -all of which are still being created to this day -but these were considered craft not art. Once in the vocabulary of fine art world, collage was very quickly adopted as a practice by many. Much of the work being done at this time was in reaction to the socio-political upheavals in Europe and flew in the face of the canonical art practices. The characteristics inherent to collage offered an art form available to all, essentially democratizing this formerly elitist world. Use of collage as a technique with this attitude was employed in film, photography, product advertisements and propaganda. The mixing of art and craft via collage helped to blur the line between the two Western ideas to such a degree that it has become part of the lexicon of modern and contemporary visual culture. Chinese kitchen, Elsie Sampson Zines S248c
Collage as fine art, and its much longer history and practice in DIY applications bring us to a meeting ground in the self-directed and motivated world of zines. As a platform for many a voice, zines are a unique way to examine this versatile medium, technique and attitude. Because zines are created outside the confines of editors - be they the author themself, their communities or even the traditional publishing kind, the creators can and do address each blank page as a gesamtkunstwerk. In zines, we are treated to as much care in combining text and image as any painter or comic artist would in their work, with the continued aesthetic of the handmade which might be read as outsider or self-taught art.
Word, Alison Laura Picard Zines P53w no.4
This exhibit will introduce text that has been collaged onto a decorative background, collage as means to subvert original meaning, femmage, and zines where the words themselves have been collaged. Zines are also an excellent venue for more traditional collage artwork, and this exhibit highlights several examples from the library's collection. After you read the zine in your hands with your mind's eye, read them again visually to see the interpretation of layers, of tactility, and of attitude. Please note that any single image or spread shown is taken out of context, I highly suggest you check out the zine and let the entire work speak for itself. Enjoy – Katie Blake, 2013
Art collage Zinesters working in collage but not necessarily with the task of managing its relationship to text, often express a more 'fine art' aesthetic is expressed. These works beckon; they push the boundaries of materiality, especially in a copy of a reproduction. Torn edges and physical layering for example, remind us what we hold in our hands was once made by another's.
I married a transsexual, Karen Doucet Zines D68i
This is the front cover of a ribbonbound zine. The collage is made of photographs, watercolor, and found papers. Though the addition of ribbon does not automatically make this a femmage, it certainly adds an element of gender consideration to the zine's overall look as well as subject. This heavily collaged zine tells the story of a 39-year-old woman and her transsexual girlfriend, whom she met when he was a man, and their life together. The zine deconstructs the issues of being in a relationship with a transsexual person including sexual, social, and emotional.
Art collage
Loverution, Jenna Renegade Zines R464r
An example of art collage, this back cover is interesting because it is playful with both image and text. There is not a specific term for when an artist chooses to expose a torn edge as opposed to a cut edge. The juxtaposition between the two here conveys a sense movement and emphasis. Textually, the quote is meant to be read easily in comparison to the "Love� cloud made of a visual jumble. Whether this is meant to be read as if a poem is uncertain, but because at its center is a perfectly horizontal word, the implication is that we try and read the others in a sort of pinwheel fashion. This cut and paste zine includes DIY instructions, stories of being a queer woman, poems, and motivational instructions for life. Jenna Renegade writes about distrusting the education system, appreciating life in the small moments, and learning from everyday experience.

Text 窶田ollaged Probably the easiest way to describe what is meant when referring to "text collaged" is where the author-creator has taken a standardized word and changed it slightly; this could be by physical cutting and pasting, but more often in zines is seen by changing just a letter or two towards a particular purpose. ex: Cuntrol vs. Control. The wicked which,
The original word is still Izz Zines I9w recognized, but the minor edit has subverted that meaning. Sometimes this is to wrest control from indoctrinated terms such as changing Women to Womyn. The change could be from wanting the word to effect sound or imply a desired pronunciation emphasis -even attitude such as Grrrl vs. Girl (also: gal, gol, goil, geol, gyurl, gurral, girrel, gurl). Other examples include: Idiosyncrasy (by Cherry Thomas); (m)other (by Lamesha Melton); yella (from BananaQ); wmngrl (Guerita #1); and U$A (Fucktooth #9). There are several Barnard Alumnae who use text -collaged to emphasize meaning or attitude (Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Loolwa Khazzoom, and Ntozake Shange). Like poet e.e. Cummings this is done via capitalization, italics and space design of the text.
Girl noire, Kimberly Schwenk (Riot) Zines S348g
Text –collaged Clitical mass, Adalusia Zines C72
Shown here is the front cover of this zine; two colors on pink paper. The image is created xerographically and the title text in blue is letterpress printed. Andalusia has taken the word Critical and collaged it with the word Clit to play on the expression and, a particular ongoing bicycling event called Critical Mass. In her own words, "-i got the idea for Clitical Mass about two years ago when i made a flier for critical mass and the r fell off leaving citical mass. this made me think of clitical which i told my friend about. he immediately replied "that's fucked up how would you feel if I organized Penis Mass" I said it's penis mass every day of the fucking week so you wouldn't even have to organize it." The author has given us a decisive textual collage as a starting point when considering other examples in the zine collection. This zine includes women's experiences with sexism and biking. There are articles about riding in Critical Mass, the trials and tribulations of a New York City bike messenger and those of a bike mechanic, and Bike Circus.

One girl revolution, Jolie Nuñez Noggle Zines N86o
Femmage This term, femmage was coined by artist and feminist Miriam Shapiro in the late 1970s. Shapiro discusses the genderization of art in her essay, Waste Not Want Not: An Inquiry into What Women Saved and Assembled - FEMMAGE (written with Melissa Meyer, 1977-78). Shapiro and Meyer define other forms of collage such as photomontage and assemblage, but the important addition is their delineation of femmage. They go on to explain the epitome of a femmage and set parameters under which other works might be categorized by this designation using fourteen factors. Shapiro and Meyer make certain that they have cast the definition widely by noting that, "Not all of them [the 14 factors] appear in a single object. However, the presence of at least half of them should-," to be considered femmage. From this, one could make an argument that all the work done in the Barnard zine collection is femmage. For this exhibit, the pieces highlighted were chosen because they reference the materials and work historically assigned to women's roles in domestic spheres such as embroidery, quilting, appliquÊ and cooking.
How fucking romantic, Shira Mario Zines M3756h no.2
Elsie, dear, you musn't miss me too much, grandmother say to Elsie, Elsie Sampson Zines S248e
This front cover is one of many femmages by this author. In addition to the usual collage elements seen, Sampson's work also references the subjects of her zines such as cooking and sewing; the same materials and work Shapiro and Meyer noted are historically assigned to women's roles and very much signifiers of femmage. An elegant design, the sewn background creates a physical and visual chain between the Elsie and her grandmother as well as foreshadows the subject of the elder woman's work. This mini-zine is a small, colorful tribute to Elsie's Chinese grandmother, a sweatshop worker who raised the author until she was five.
Photocopying makes my legs wobbly, Kathleen Henwood Zines H45p no.5
See Also: Chinese kitchen, Elsie Sampson Zines S248c Wild at heart, Shelby Schoensee Zines S36w Indulgence, Eleanor Whitney Zines W44i no.6 Bats in the bridge: and other batty tidbits, Niku Arbabi Zines A733b
Text pasted onto decorative background The distinction between craft and fine art in terms of a zine or artists book is nearly meaningless. Zines though, are much more likely to be xerographically reproductions from a single original.
Mala, Bianca Ortiz Zines O78m no.1
Alison Piepmeier discusses the materiality and handmade aesthetic that permeates them in her article, Why zines matter: materiality and the creation of embodied community. She points out that a subject is all the more personalized by a hand held object, especially when it is very obviously a visual reflection of the author. Most zinesters want to relay this do-it-yourself look, but must also contend with the characteristics inherent to reproduction.
They must choose to embrace or simply ignore that the 'photo' copy captures everything from crinkled paper, scratches in the glass, to shadows. This appearance can be visually arresting in the reading -adding nuance, emphasis to subject in a way that typical text on page cannot. One of the more often seen types of collage is where the author-creator has written something, printed it, cut it apart and glued it onto another image or page. By adding what seems to be unnecessary steps to the completion of a written work suggests that there is a pointed desire for a visual means to make the word(s) tactile. Every page registers as different from the hyper-tidiness typical of industry-printed text where the black font sits statically on a plain, white background. This practice may also come out of a craving for visual pauses between pages, between thoughts, etc. Such elements and the retained character of the handmade differentiates these works from, "magazines and other mainstream publications-," which is an important part of the zine community. The practice of collage for these reasons both decorates and distinguishes the zine overall from commercial counterparts.

Text pasted onto decorative background
Skinned heart, Nyky Gomez Zines N665 no.1
Here is an interior page from Gomez's zine, where she has pasted her text onto a background one could call decorative or illustrative. Here the visual combination of horizontal text with a linear, vertical background (a strung loom) is as powerful a representation of her jarring frustrations with race and privilege as the text itself. By layering the image with the text instead of separating them, the words become part of the entire visual story; the restlessness of being able to 'read between the lines' forces us to see the words as if woven into the loom. In this hand- and typewritten and magazine collage illustrated perzine, 29year-old Nyky writes about being sexually assaulted as a child and her frustration with issues of race and privilege. Nyky also writes about bipolar disorder and natural treatments, being questioned on the "authenticity" of her Mexican identity, and the troubling racial attitudes she encounters among those who are supposed to be her allies.
Text pasted onto decorative background
Angry black-white girl, Nia King Zines K565on
In this example, King has not only printed out, cut and pasted text; she has used it to frame and split a central image. Over the top of this are also hand written reactions to what maybe personal experiences for the author or a reaction to the excerpted words (-cited here as being from "Effegies� by Lucinda Roy). The selection is compelling in and of itself, but by combining the words with the image, through it and around it she drives the reader to follow all three elements of thought. Reading this takes time, and through King's directional text we are being asked to follow the words; such contemplation elicits a kind of empathy more traditional displays of this excerpt and image could not. Nia King, an art school dropout of African-American, Hungarian Jewish, and Lebanese ancestry writes about living, working, and activism as a mixed race queer in a wealthy Boston suburb. She debunks stereotypes with short essays about her family and her personal history.
Collage to subvert It is possible the impulse to make subversive collages comes from the fact that many of them are created from found images. Artists like Jaune Quick-To-See Smith and Gee Vaucher make profound statements in their work regarding subjects like race and gender images used for the sale of products. Such work is most often seen with advertisements, an example is W.M. Disaster's zine, Touched by an anvil (Zines B835t), where a seemingly happy little girl is collaged into a collection of fragmented statements about "what little girls are REALLY made of." In addition to product images, zinesters respond to ideas and articles they wish to discuss and react to with their community. Annie Koh's For motion discomfort collages together a memory of hers about learning English and being taught how and why to use products to apparently 'fit' into her new culture.
For motion discomfort, Annie Koh Zines K64f Chica loca, Lala Endara Zines H45p no.2
This interior is an excellent example of collage to subvert. Lala uses an advertisement by Calvin Klein, having turned it into a personals ad, the reaction seems to be specifically about the women featured surrounding the bottle. The collage subverts the logo to read Chico|one|en over the CK. It is unclear whether this is a play on the words chica and chicano. In this issue, Lala focuses political topics including miscegenation and immigration rights for gay and lesbian couples. The author, a native of Ecuador, provides some Spanish language content and lesbian sex illustrations.
Collage to subvert
Chica loca Lala Endara Zines H45p no.5
Another subversive collage by Endara, here it is used to react to a particular disparaging article and ideology. By doing this, she not only brings attention to a degrading article published in FHM but takes back some measure of control by subverting the offending words into her reply.

I'm not taking the day off today! I laboriously climbed a massive mountain on my pedal bike, cooled off while wake boarding at the local the lake, and then feed my face at the highly controversial burger joint. (Yeah, I felt okay about it – after all, I exercised!) No, I didnt wear any white shoes today. Really, who made up the rule that you can only wear white shoes between Memorial Day and Labor Daybor — I read something about a Canadian delivering…. a….budget, or something…speaking of Canadians, if you want to find some classic, classy Canadian shoes – I know one Canadian who wears these ReeBoks. Yes, I really do. Reebok, if it ain't broke don't fix it, right? I think thats the reason why this shoe has been in circulation for 35 years – or on the shelves for that long.
The shoes of the day, especially for you Foozitao.
By the way — this rule is only for the Betty's — "White tennis shoes and off-white boots seem exempt"
What do you think? No white shoes until May, could you do it?

Chavura's manager OG ProFate outlines exorbitant booking charges. Brags about his VW GT1. Insults Martse and Waxy Kay
Lilongwe based rapper Gift Chirwa aka OG ProFate recently bragged about his new car, an expensive VW GT1. Talking to this writer when he (the writer) was working on a story recently to do with Chavura's booking charges, ProFate went an extra mile to bluff. "Chavura is at K50, 000 if event organizers want him to perform a concert," said OG. "They also have to make sure they provide good accommodation and food for him….Read More

Antibodies inhibiting nerve growth factor (NGF) are profoundly effective pain relievers in clinical trials, and, if approved, would become the first new class of analgesics for osteoarthritis, and possibly many other conditions, since the advent of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Now the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is reporting that NGF antibodies are associated with joint destruction. These adverse outcomes occurred more frequently when patients received higher doses of antibodies or took the agents along with NSAIDs, according to materials just posted on the FDA website in advance of the FDA's Arthritis Advisory Committee meeting scheduled for March 12. At that time, the committee will review the data and recommend whether, and how, clinical testing of NGF antibodies can go forward.
Results reported in scientific papers and meeting abstracts over the last two years have indicated that NGF antibodies are phenomenal pain relievers, as heralded by the 2010 publication of a phase 2 study of a Pfizer antibody, tanezumab, for osteoarthritis knee pain (Lane et al., 2010). A number of companies sent multiple NGF antibodies into clinical trials for osteoarthritis, low back pain, and a host of other painful conditions, and Pfizer embarked on extensive phase 3 testing of their antibody for osteoarthritis. But in 2010 the FDA halted almost all of the trials, due to reports that patients were experiencing worrisome joint failures.
In the wake of the reported joint destruction, the only trials that have been allowed to proceed are phase 2 studies for bone pain from metastatic cancer. Now, the FDA advisory committee is charged with determining whether, on balance, the drugs warrant continued testing. If it does allow testing to resume, the committee is set to outline whether it will restrict patient eligibility for future trials, and will also specify the screening and safety monitoring protocols those trials must follow.
Do NGF antibodies have a future as revolutionary pain relievers, or will the FDA judge them too dangerous? Watch PRF for news from the upcoming meeting…

MSP Colin Smyth had previously criticised SNP and Tory councillors at Dumfries and Galloway Council for failing to underwrite a loan to help save Rosefield Mill.
Labour councillors then sought to gather the 11 signatures needed to recall the issue and return it to a meeting of full council to be reconsidered.
And just last week that's what happened, with the result being that Dumfries and Galloway Council has now agreed to offer a grant of £37,000 to the Dumfries Historic Buildings Trust to enable them to purchase the riverfront building.
The trust has run a very successful community fundraiser which currently stands at £43,000.
Local councillor and Depute Leader of the council, Rob Davidson commented: "I'm pleased this matter could be brought back to full council and indeed the process has allowed us to reach a better outcome for the project than the original loan proposal.
"We're now in a position to offer a grant to support the purchase of the building, which in my view is a much better option for the trust.
"This is a hugely ambitious, community led regeneration project, which could transform a prominent and important Dumfries building and contribute towards the further regeneration of the town."
Welcoming the decision, Mr Smyth said: "The original decision by SNP and Tory councillors to block a move to provide a loan for the purchase of the Mill was shocking and I'm pleased they have been forced into a U-turn. The funding from the council sends a signal that the they are serious about backing the community when they come together to support the regeneration of our regional capital.
"Bringing the mill back into use won't be easy, but at least people are prepared to try to not only save such an important historic building but find a positive use that can benefit the local community".

Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the risk to Europe
The current outbreak of Ebola virus disease began in Guinea in December 2013. It is at present the largest Ebola outbreak ever recorded, involving multiple countries and continents. Cases have been reported in three countries with widespread and intense transmission (Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone) and five countries with initial case(s) or with localized transmission (Mali, Nigeria, Senegal, Spain and the United States of America). The risk of Ebola spreading in Europe is very low. While sporadic imported cases in Europe remain possible, European countries are among the best prepared in the world to respond to viral hemorrhagic fever, which includes Ebola. As the most effective way to prevent Ebola infections in Europe is to control the outbreak in West Africa, this is where efforts should focus.

very nice! I'm intrigued enough to give it a whirl!
The 1st of October 2016 saw a new bullet journal and the retirement of my first one. I loved using my first BuJo to track my entire life but it was getting rather full and definitely needed an upgrade.
You can get this exact notebook on Amazon (cheapest I have found in the UK)!
The Index is the same as always, except this time I'm grouping all of October (budget, master task list, weeklies, etc) as one entry. In my last bullet journal I listed them all as separate items and my index ended up being four pages long! I've almost filled a page already, but that's because when I set up a new journal there's always a lot of 'must-haves' that get put at the front.
My key hasn't really changed a bit since last time, but I've moved it further down the page so I can write a nice introduction in the gap. I'm not sure what I want to write yet! If anyone has any suggestions, comment below. If I can't think of anything, I'll probably just stick in a quote or write something once this journal is full about what I learnt about myself and about my bullet journal. You know, the usual!
The next spread is a calendar so I can see dates at-a-glance. I've kept this the same in both journals.. On the next page is all the birthdays and special occasions throughout the year. Last time I put them in my future planning spread but this bullet journal doesn't have a future log – I'm just writing notes down in the back! I didn't tend to do much future planning last time but maybe things will change…
Again, my Level 10 Life spread is next, with all 100 of my goals! Some of the goals are the same, some are updated or changed where I've completed a goal already or something in my life has changed. I've also changed the tracker to a bar chart design – mostly because I can't draw neat circles! I've had to make a flap for sections 9 and 10 as they didn't fit on the page (you can find more about Level 10 Life here).
My snake feeds chart was so useful in my previous bullet journal to keep track of when I fed the noodles and how they took the mouse so I've incorporated it in here as well. Sebastian gets fed every Monday now so he's pretty easy to keep track of but Hazel is still being fed every 6 days so if I'm forgetful one week (which I usually am) I can check to see when she's due a feed. It's also useful if they skip a feed.
More snake spreads! I also had these in my previous bullet journal. The larger chart is for measurements and weight – I tend to do a measure every 3-5 weeks – and the smaller chart is for measuring and noting sheds. I also have a box for writing down when they get their vivariums cleaned and also a box for notes. It's so useful, because I can see how much they're growing and when they're due a shed.
I talked about tracking periods in a bullet journal on a previous post and why I find it so useful so I won't go into detail here (you'll have to read the post!) but I use it every day and it's honestly THE most useful spread I have in my journal. On the opposite page is a savings tracker. We're trying to save for a honeymoon at the moment so the goal is for that. We didn't actually save anything in the last journal! Woopsie.
A little bit boring, but my Monthly Bills spread lets me see what date everything is coming out of the bank and how much it'll be. We're lucky that all of our bills are a set price unless we go over our data limit on our phones so we never have any nasty surprises at the end of the month. On the next page is just a simple wishlist for things I want for around the home with a little roof doodle that I love!
As you can see, I've split my wishlist up into 'home' and 'me', just so I have a little more room. I'll probably need more room for both eventually, but I think I'll just insert a new page and washi-tape it in. My wardrobe inventory is blank at the moment because I know I'm bound to get some more autumn clothes and get rid of some other items, so I'm waiting for another month or so to fill it in.
My 'books to read' spread is identical to my old one, but I've removed books that I've actually read! I haven't included a key this time, but I will be colouring in the book once I've read it. Last time I was colouring in the book halfway when I was actually reading it but I think that's too much effort… maybe I'm just lazy! It annoys me how much blank space there is there… but I'm determined to fill it.
My 'DVDs and boxsets' spread is basically the same as my 'books to read' spread. I'm a book, DVD and boxset hoarder so I can't just borrow it, or watch it on Netflix – I have to have the physical thing. I just really like having a whole shelving system of books and DVDs.
My order tracker is the last thing on thislist. I found this page so handy in my old bullet journal, but I included it in each monthly setup. This time I've given it more room and put it at the beginning of the journal to find it easier. I tend to do 90% of my purchases online; it's just so much easier and we hardly ever get a chance to pop down to the city centre for a proper shop (especially as we never have money!!)
You may have noticed I have washi tape down the sides of some pages – this is so I can find the pages I go to more frequently quickly. I have more bujo hacks that I'm sure I will share with you soon so keep your eyes peeled.

Sprint this morning announced that Baltimore and Kansas City will be the beneficiaries of its new LTE network when it launches later this year. That's to go along with Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, which were named previously.
Baltimore and Kansas City have some historical significance, with the former being the carrier's first Wimax city (way back in the XOHM days), and the latter being its backyard. Oh, and the two cities also will be getting enhanced 3G speeds. So they've got that going for them, which is nice.
Still no firm date on when we'll see the LTE network launch ("mid-2012" is all anyone's saying), but we do know we've got the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the LG Viper waiting for us when it does.
Source: Sprint
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), February 08, 2012 - Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced that Baltimore and Kansas City are expected to receive 4G LTE and upgraded 3G service by mid-2012. Sprint recently announced that 4G LTE and enhanced 3G service are also expected by mid-2012 in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Sprint 4G LTE will enable faster speeds for data applications, and the enhanced 3G service promises better signal strength, faster data speeds, expanded coverage and better in-building performance.
The launch of these large metropolitan areas demonstrates the continued commitment by Sprint to invest in its network through Network Vision. Sprint customers in these areas will soon enjoy ultra-fast data speeds and improved 3G voice quality. Whether a Sprint customer is using a smartphone to share a video of a double overtime game between the Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Tigers or a Baltimore chef is checking the Web via a mobile hotspot for a new way to serve crabcakes, Sprint 4G LTE will make it easier. And, when someone makes an important voice call, they can expect to find a clearer connection and a stronger signal in more areas.
"Sprint is investing in its CDMA network and delivering on our commitment to ensure customers experience superior wireless voice and data service at an unbeatable value," said Bob Azzi, Sprint senior vice president-Network. "We continue to deploy multi-mode base stations across Sprint's nationwide cell sites and are expecting improvements in voice quality, signal density and data speeds. Today's good news demonstrates the phenomenal progress that our teams are making toward implementing this new technology."
The initial devices already announced to run on 4G LTE will be Galaxy Nexus™, boasting a pure Google™ experience, LG Viper™ 4G LTE with eco-friendly features, and Sierra Wireless™ Tri-Network Hotspot, a 3G, 4G and 4G LTE mobile hotspot. More information is available at www.sprint.com/4glte.
Sprint has been a 4G innovator since first launching the technology in 2008. Sprint has launched more than 25 4G-enabled smartphones, USB connection cards, notebook/netbook products, mobile hotspots and routers. Sprint offers a proven, reliable 4G experience for millions of customers compared to other national wireless carriers. Additionally, Sprint is a leader in value, with Sprint Everything plans with Any Mobile, AnytimeSM, including unlimited data, texting and calling to and from any mobile phone in America while on the Sprint network. With Sprint's unlimited data plans, customers don't have to worry about throttling or data overage charges on their monthly bill as they might with tiered data plans from other carriers.

Great British Bake Off breaks BBC branding rules
The production company that makes The Great British Bake Off has broken BBC editorial guidelines by taking loan of Smeg fridges on the show.
Rules state proper payment must be made to hire equipment visible on screen.
The issue came to light after a viewer wrote to the Radio Times complaining of "blatant product promotion".
The BBC said Love Production's loan agreement with Smeg did not meet editorial guidelines and was being revised for this series.
It added that hire payments would be made.
The kitchen appliance firm has loaned the independent production company a number of new fridges for the past two series of the BBC Two cookery show.
However, the corporation's guidelines say productions should "not accept free or reduced cost products" in return for "on-air or online credits, links or off-air marketing".
The BBC has asked Smeg to remove a notice from its website promoting its association with the The Great British Bake Off.
A spokeswoman said during the course of a general review of the show the BBC found other supply agreements needed "a clearer process".
"We are working with Love Productions to put in place additional measures to ensure that sourcing and supply of equipment is clear in relation to our guidelines and a consistent approach is adopted in future," she said.
The author of the Radio Times letter said he had counted the Smeg logo 37 times during one episode.
The BBC said that the nature of the show meant it was inevitable that some branded equipment would be seen in shot, but that efforts were constantly made to "minimise product prominence" where possible.

Much of the CMD is crumbling or just vacant lots.
Yesterday I visited and managed to get inside to photograph the onetime Union Bag and Paper Co. Building at 3737 S. Ashland Street, which is in the the process of being demolished.
That's terra cotta surrounding the second floor windows.
Union Bag and Paper Company was founded in 1881 by the Calder Family in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In 1956 it merged with the Camp Manufacturing Company to form the Union Camp Company. In 1999 International Paper purchased Union Camp.
Somewhere during that story line this building was set adrift.
Samuel Scott Joy was the building's architect--it was a built in 1915 and its razing began in its centennial year. After seeing pictures such as this one you begin to understand why Chicago's population is the lowest it's been since 1910.
High taxes and public corruption in Chicago have hastened the rot.
Let's go inside!
Entering abandoned buildings offers many risks--climbing through rubble is one of them.
As far as I can gather other than demolition there are no plants for the this site. South of the Union Bag and Paper stood the Pullman Couch factory, which burned down in a spectacular fire in 2013.
There is plenty of open space in the Central Manufacturing District.
International Paper is still a going concern--in fact it's the world's largest paper and pulp firm.
It appears that someone started to dismantle this fire escape stairwell.
In 2014 Landmarks Illinois listed the Central Manufacturing District as one of its ten most endangered sites.

By Michael Flaherty and Stephen Aldred
HONG KONG — Under pressure from a spiralling debt crisis at home, Credit Agricole and other European banks are offloading more of the loans they hold in Asia, squeezing up lending rates and making it tougher for small and mid-sized companies to borrow.
As French and other European-based banks look to sell overseas assets to shore up their capital at home, they have increased the traffic in detailed loan documents, known as axe sheets, to other banks across Asia.
These sheets specify loans that a bank has previously handed to a company and now wants to sell on to another bank or trade in the secondary market.
Credit Agricole has listed 64 Asia loans worth US$1.1 billion, according to the French bank's most recent axe sheet, obtained by Reuters. The loans currently support such companies as India's Bharti Airtel and Hong Kong's Sun Hung Kai Properties.
Two years ago, the bank was offering just 8 loans worth US$170 million in Asia, an axe sheet from that period shows.
"What you're seeing is evidence of what one's hearing: that the European banks are deleveraging and selling assets," said Philip Cracknell, Global Head of Syndications for Standard Chartered Bank.
While axe sheets are common, it is unusual to have so many Asia loans on sale at one time and to see how widely these sheets are being distributed, with banks offering up deals to rivals they would normally want to keep out of the process.
HSBC, Europe's biggest bank, is offering 17 corporate loans worth US$370 million, extended to companies including Reliance Industries and Huawei International, according to another axe sheet obtained by Reuters.
These are a combination of HSBC loans and loans from other institutions, and not all are for selling but instead to trade in the secondary market, said a source familiar with the matter, who could not be named as he was not authorised to speak publicly about it.
HSBC and Credit Agricole declined comment for this article.
The Asia loan selldown shows just how difficult it may be for Asian businesses to open new lines of credit now that a prominent group of lenders are pulling back.
European banks' portion of syndicated loans in Asia ex-Japan fell to 16% in the first half of this year. Three years ago, that share was closer to 30%, Thomson Reuters LPC data shows.
Secondary loan market players won't always step in for a primary loan, nor is it a guarantee that Asia-based banks will be as generous to lend when a company comes asking to borrow.
The loans on offer in Asia are being sold at discounted prices by sellers who just want to get out. That's driving up prices of primary market loans, as bankers who play in both markets know they can get cheaper secondary loans.
Loan bankers expect steeper discounts to come given that buyers are waiting for even better bargains. That in turn will push up prices in the primary market.
"What's happened since August is a very aggressive deleveraging in these regions," said Philip Suttle, chief economist at the Institute of International Finance, referring to emerging markets such as Eastern Europe and Asia.
While loans bankers say Asian and Australian banks have stepped into the gap left by the Europeans, the loss of liquidity will still hit Asia's corporate borrowers.
In the meantime, the axe sheets keep coming throughout the Asia loans market, landing in the laps of secondary traders used to selling loans held by their institutions, not those of others.
"The fact that I'm seeing axe sheets from other banks should tell you something," said one Asia loans banker, who is an active trader in the secondary loans market.
"I'm now a broker for another bank's deal."

This is one killer looking 1969 Twin Turbo Camaro Z/28. Pushing out over 1000 hp, this classic bumblebee looks nothing short of a handful to keep stuck on the pavement.
Instead of the original power from 1969, this Camaro instead features an LS power plant and a set of twins that boost it to over 1000hp to the crank!
From what we have seen from the video, this 1969 Chevy Z28 Camaro under the bonnet has two 62mm turbines attached on Forget 6.0 liter V8 engine with electronic fuel injection.
Developing massive 747lb-ft of torque. The suspension remains unknown, while the braking system is made by Wilwood.
This Camaro looks to be an absolute hoot to drive as it apparently can break the rear loose at will, all the while making glorious noises.

Are you dreaming of having your own store? There are a lot of things that you need to understand before starting your retail store. Opening a retail business is more than just leasing a store, putting in shelves and creating your display.
Here are some things you need to know when starting a retail store:
The store owns you, not the other way around.
Once you post those opening and closing times, you make an unbreakable commitment to your customers to be open on time and be there for the full span of hours that you are supposed to be open. Customers expect that you open on time at that time on all days that you are open, and close at the time you stated. Even if the business is slow, you don't close your store an hour before your advertised time. Customers will also be irate with you if they line up outside your store for 30 minutes because you are late in opening the store.
Customers expect that you stand by those advertised hours. If not and the customer rushes to your store before the time they expect you to close to see that your store is closed, you don't only lose that sale but you may lose a lifetime customer. You also lose any referral they may send your way. Customers feel entitled that you will be there, open when you say you are while offering the quality and experience that they expect from your retail store.
Be prepared to pay a lot of taxes.
One thing that may surprise you when you run a retail business is the astonishing array of taxes that need to be constantly filed and paid. Whether your business is doing well or not, you will spend a lot of time assessing, collecting, and paying taxes. Check with your state the types of taxes that you need to pay. You may be required to collect and pay sales tax, which is the retail point-of-purchase tax paid by the customer. Other taxes include real estate tax, retailers use tax, retailers occupation tax, payroll tax, quarterly tax, local taxes, value added tax (for some countries/areas), and on and on.
Note that tax laws vary from state to state, and collecting sales tax can be tricky if you are selling online or out of state. Be sure to know the rules in your locality, including areas where your business has a physical presence whether it's a store, office, warehouse, employees, and in some states, online affiliates.
It is important that you either hire an accountant or use accounting software such as Quickbooks, to help manage your taxes.
Choose the right suppliers
Finding the right supplier is essential to the success of your retail store. Choose the wrong one and you can find your shelves empty and your customers going to your competitors.
>> RELATED: Wholesale Directory, Merchandise Suppliers and Dropshippers
In choosing suppliers, don't just automatically go with the leading suppliers in your product categories, or even the cheapest. Instead, work with those who are looking to build a great relationship with you, and who have time to answer your questions and concerns. As such, be open to working with smaller, growing or new entrants to the market. These suppliers may be more willing to work with a smaller retailer like you. Plus, you are more likely able to negotiate trading terms with them, which could help improve your cash flow and bottom line.
Understand the cost of starting your retail store, including hidden costs.
It is important to know how much it will cost you to open your own retail store. Make a list of all the expenses that you need to pay to get your store up and running. You will need to pay for:
>> RELATED: Cost of Opening a Retail Store
- Rent and operating costs = includes rental lease security deposit, rental payment in advance, utilities security deposit
- Location improvement costs = covers construction costs (materials and labor); as well as store fixtures such as mannequins, shelves, and racks, cash counter, bookcases, among others
- Inventory
- Miscellaneous operating expenses = such as hangers for clothing, liability insurance, association fees and dues, office and cleaning supplies or labor cost
- Technology and equipment = such as specialized point of sale software, high-speed internet or telecom services; telephones and computer, etc.
- Marketing = includes exterior and interior signage, logo design, business card, trademark registration, flier design and printing, etc.
- Public relations = including cost of grand opening, media and advertising around the grand opening.
Plan for hidden or unexpected expenses. You don't want to have unnecessary surprises that could throw off your entire plans for your retail store.
Always have a contingency plan, whether for big or small events.
No matter how great your concept or successful your business, there may be unexpected events that could throw you off your feet. A number of things could happen, and some might affect your retail store more than others.
A customer may have an accident in your store and slaps you with a lawsuit, or your products may be deemed unsafe by regulators. Your store could be robbed with your employees held at gunpoint. Or your store could be severely affected by weather and other unexpected events, such as a tornado, floods, earthquake, or something else.
Macro events that you have no control of can also severely affect your business. You may find your retail store struggling to survive when an economic recession hit (read the article "How to Recession-Proof Your Retail Business") or a major act of terrorism like 9/11 affecting how people consume and purchase from you.
>> RELATED: Think of a Backup Plan for Your Business
Be sure that you have adequate business insurance coverage; as well as security and contingency measures in place. There are a lot of things that could go wrong, and some of them can't really be planned for but have to be dealt with when it happens. The key is to be aware of the potential of any macro events that could singularly wipe out any business, and not to be caught totally off guard and flatfooted when it happens.
The battle between storage vs. selling spaces
Retail space is expensive; thus, it makes sense to maximize selling spaces and minimize non-selling storage space. However, a retail store needs enough storage space to handle inventory needs, especially as your business grows, but you know that you cannot sacrifice your already limited retail floor.
As a retail store owner, you will be doing the balancing act of your storage vs. selling spaces. It is important to preserve the attractiveness of the store, and maximize product display while ensuring that you have adequate inventory. Failing to balance these two needs could potentially damage sales and the business.
>> RELATED: 10 Packaging Tips That Will Make Consumers Buy Your Product
It is important to carefully plan out how you will deal with increased need for storage in your retail store. You can design your shelving and display spaces to maximize storage while keeping the retail floor space intact while ensuring full exposure of the products to customers. You can also check whether the store owner/mall developer offers off-site storage spaces (downside is that it may be quite a distance to your store) or will allow you to use conex storage boxes outside your store. If you have the resources, you can also consider renting another space to serve as storage. You may also want to set up special systems with suppliers and easy drop off points to deal with this issue.
Retail business is exhausting
Depending on what you are selling, retail business can be tiring, even back-breaking. Expect your feet to hurt — really, really bad — as you could be on your feet for 8 hours at a stretch. If you are selling heavy items such as books, lifting those boxes of books can put a big strain on your body. Be sure to wear comfortable footwear and outfit, especially if you will be at your store the whole day.
>> RELATED: 12 Ways to Improve Your Retail Sales
There are guarantees to success in retail business. You need to expect to work hard, and think about your strategies and decisions and how they contribute to your bottom line. The average profitability in retail is 3% with 2 to 3 years to reach profitability. You can aim to get your retail business to do better than this, but plan and prepare financially to be the rule, not the exception.

Weekly Article (Week 1)
Greetings in the name of the Lord, after a period of fasting and prayer I am inspired to write a weekly article to help explore the Word of God. I am by no means an expert or even formally educated in Biblical Studies, but what I am is a servant of the Lord with a great hunger for His Word. I have spent many hours reading, studying, and meditating on the Word of God and I wish to share what I have found. The Lord has blessed me with many gifts, of these are the gift of insight, wisdom, and the ability to write and share these revelations. I do so for His glory.
If there are any topics that hold a special interest please email which topics you would like to explore. I encourage the reader to use this as a tool to help with your own personal study and to make your own notes. My selfish reason for writing a weekly article is to help ensure I stay engrossed in the Bible on a more regular basis.
Topic: Temptation: Successes and Failures
Temptation is a subject that all Christians are familiar with in their daily walk with Christ. The amount of sermons and studies on this subject could fill a library.
Any Christian when asked to do an honest assessment of their lives could honestly answer that they all have been tempted. They can also answer honestly that there has been temptation faced victoriously and there has been times where they were not so victorious. This is something that all Christians have and will experience in their daily lives as Christians.
I can speak from personal experience of many of my own victories and failures, but this article is not about me. This is to show that temptation is a very common subject for Christians and the Word teaches us about temptation.
Matthew 18:7 (NLT) "What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting." This verse tells us that temptation is inevitable while we are in this world for the world tempts people to sin. There are many things in this world that appeal to our sinful nature. Memories of the life we lived before we came into a relationship with Jesus. Our five senses are bombarded daily by the world, so temptation truly is inevitable.
1Corinthians 10:13(NLT) "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure."
Temptation is inevitable and temptations are experienced by everyone. You are not alone, my friends, all face temptation. Though your temptation may seem unique to you, be assured that the Word tells us that they are no different from what others experience. Try this exercise, think about your temptations and see if you can find one unique only to you. After you find your unique temptation look up this verse Hebrews 2:16-18 and think again.
Still think that you are the only one being tempted or think you are easily tempted because you are new in your relationship or that you are young, or even that you don't have as close a relationship with Christ as you should? I have some Scriptures that can help dissuade that line of thinking. Even those closest to Christ while He walked among us were tempted and fell into temptation. Matthew 26:41, Mark 14:38 and Luke 22.40 show that even the apostles were targets for temptation. In these versus Jesus warns Peter (The Rock), James and John (Sons of Thunder) to pray or they would fall into temptation.
Finally, Paul shows that it is not something unique to this day and age. Paul, the one blinded by the Lord so that he may truly see. Paul was the missionary of all missionaries. Paul, the one who wrote most of the New Testament tells us in the following passage that even he faced temptations. Not only did he face them, but won and lost just like you and me.
Romans 7(NLT) "15I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it."
We are all tempted. We all have our moments of victory. We all have our moments of failure. Temptation is in the world and for now we all walk in this world. Temptation goes all the way back to Adam and Eve and continues on into Revelations. The good news is that His grace is sufficient for those times we fail. The final Word for this article is like the message of the Bible. It is a promise of hope in the end. Revelations 3:10 (KJV)" 10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth."
Temptation comes, some times you win, and some times you lose. Take comfort that you are not alone, that you are forgiven, and that you will be victorious in the end. His grace is truly sufficient.
God bless.

Great article Christian
Looking forward to more from you. Thank YOU
Looking forward to more from you. Thank YOU
Excellent message of Hope and Victory! We are indeed only aliens walking in a foreign land, but while we are walking here we are subject to all that is in it - good AND bad. Take courage; we do not walk alone for Christ is with us until the end of the age praying to the Father that those given to Him will be kept from the evil one.
John 17:14-17 NAS
14 "I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.
16 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 "Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

The funny thing about it, in retrospect, is that the filmmakers apparently had impeccable leftist credentials, yet La Mort en ce Jardin is a film you could show at a National Rifle Association convention to stormy applause. The setting is a diamond mining camp where the hardworking freelance prospectors, many of whom are French expatriates, are being forced from their claims by the local dictatorship, which has decided to claim all the local resources for itself. What are the expropriated workers going to do about it? They're going to get guns, of course, and as many as they can, even if that means ambushing soldiers and stealing their weapons. After embarrassing themselves initially by being scared off by a warning volley, the miners work themselves up into a small-scale civil war. Maybe it says something about the American left that they don't trust the proletariat with guns. Leftists elsewhere apparently aren't as worried by that prospect, or weren't back in 1956.
Street fighting men in Death in the Garden
Caught in the middle of this conflict are the actual protagonists of the story. Castin (Charles Vanel), an elderly miner with a teenage deaf-mute daughter, claims to be a peaceable man but feels compelled to stand with his fellow miners despite his dream of returning to France to open a restaurant. Chark (pronounced "shark" and played by Georges Marchal) is a drifter who strolls into town during the first confrontation, gives the finger to authority and teases Maria, Castin's daughter, as she tries on a pair of boots in the general store. He has a wallet full of money wrapped around his chest, but stupidly reveals that fact to Djin (Simone Signoret, claiming that the name is an Indian word for a bird), a local prostitute who promptly rats him out to the police, who suspect him of being a bank robber. Castin wants Djin to marry and return to France with him and be a mother to Maria, but Djin wants to know what's in it for her. Father Lizzardi the young local priest (Michel Piccoli) wants the miners (and Castin especially) to stand down for their own good, and is manipulated by Chark into aiding his escape from prison.
Our hero: Chark introduces himself.
Both Chark and Castin end up accused of being ringleaders of the miners' insurrection, and end up as fugitives on a boat owned by Cenco, a local pimp and informer. The wounded Castin had taken shelter with Djin after a pitched battle, and Lizzardi had sacrificed his reputation to save Castin by allowing townsfolk to believe that he was having a tryst with Djin. The priest ends up on the boat in order to do mission work among the jungle tribes, while Djin comes on board to smuggle Castin without the greedy, reward-hungry Cenco noticing his presence. But eventually Castin and Chark have to boat-jack Cenco and ditch the ship to escape speedboat pursuers. Thus begins a hellish trek through the jungle during which our cast endures lack of food and shelter and Castin slowly goes mad. Chark may be a tough guy (especially when avenging himself on a helpless Djin) and good with a gun, but he's no better at jungle survival than the rest.
As Djin, Simone Signoret perhaps purposefully lacks the glamour of a true femme fatale, but she's the nearest thing this film has to one.
Above, Michel Piccoli finds something terrible to pray over in the plane wreckage. Below, something more terrible preys in the wreckage before the film is over.
I wouldn't dare call Death in the Garden a great Bunuel film but it is a solid piece of entertainment, not unlike something you might find in an American paperback original from the same period. It has some nice outdoor cinematography by Jorge Stahl Jr. that reminds one more of The African Queen than The Wages of Fear. In the studio scenes it has the lurid look of many a Forties Technicolor film, and that adds to the pulp feel of the story. Marchal and Signoret are fine as a couple who oscillate from mutual hatred to the sexual attraction of fellow predators, and Piccoli is quite good as the most likely audience-identification character. Bunuel doesn't direct action dynamically, preferring single takes to editing, but he keeps the frame busy with harsh activity in the combat scenes. It may be worth noting that Chark stabs a prison guard in the eye with a fountain pen, but the director of the most famous eye-injury scene in all cinema plays it safe this time, filming the attack from behind the victim's head. Despite that reticence, this really is a kick-ass movie for those with hard-boiled tastes. I haven't seen too many Bunuel's movies, but I imagine it's his most accessible film. As such, it might be a good way to introduce dubious newcomers to one of cinema's great eccentric talents.
The Bunuel touch?
