You don't have to be an intellectual to appreciate this "symphony of truth," however. For Catholicism is, first of all, an encounter with a person, Jesus Christ, who is "the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). And to meet that person is to meet the truth that makes all the other truths of our lives make sense. Indeed, the embrace of Catholic truth in full, as lives like Blessed John Henry Newman's demonstrate, opens one up to the broadest possible range of intellectual encounters.
Viewed from outside, Catholicism can seem closed and unwelcoming. As Evelyn Waugh noted, though, it all seems so much more spacious and open from the inside. The Gothic, with its soaring vaults and buttresses and its luminous stained glass, is not a classic Catholic architectural form by accident. The full beauty of the light, however, washes over you when you come in.

"an unparalleled casino resort experience"
After opening on Memorial Day Weekend, Twin Arrows Navajo Casino Resort quickly became Northern Arizona's premier casino resort destination. In fact, We have been named "Best Casino Resort Destination of 2013" by the readers of Experience Arizona Magazine. Tucked within a picturesque view of the majestic San Francisco Peaks just east of Flagstaff, Twin Arrows is the centerpiece of the Navajo Nation Gaming Enterprise's properties. Here, art and architecture have combined to both embody and showcase the rich history of the Navajo people, while providing an unparalleled casino resort experience.
Great rooms and comfortable beds. Definitely a great sleep here. Their pool is open 24 hours and there is a kids arcade room fully powered with xbox, wii, ps4 stations! Their buffet lacks variety and flavor. Not worth the $15 meal. The casino itself is smokey with live music. The sports bar has too long of a line for beverages and not enough waitresses attending the guests. I gave it a 4 star, because this was the best sleep I have had on our first leg of a 10 day road trip through Arizona.
The hotel rooms are comfortable, clean and modern. However, we wish we had eaten before going there. The buffet was not appealing enough for us to attempt and the BBQ ribs at the sports bar were so disgusting that we barely ate them. The indoor pool was ok but I would have preferred an outdoor pool to avoid the chlorine odor and enjoy a bit of warm sunshine. Also, although the rooms are smoke free, the casino smells like cigarettes. The staff is very nice though!

Elderly woman sends message to the world — Everything happens for a reason
'Like' this week's column on Facebook and you could win a free book. Each week, we pick one 'Like' at random, and that reader receives an autographed copy of a Jason Wright novel. If you're a winner, contact us here to claim your book.
Congrats to last week's winner: Gail Hanson
It was a hot, muggy Monday afternoon in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. The humid hours and minutes felt like fat dominos, too heavy to gather momentum and topple over onto one another. It was the kind of afternoon that just gives up and waits for dusk to arrive with a fan and an extra lemonade.
I stepped outside my office on Main Street in Woodstock for a thick walk to our small-town post office. It was time to clear my lousy head after punching through several lousy drafts of a lousy column that now sits in my digital trashcan.
I took the long way, despite the heat, and extended the stroll by several blocks. I watched cars and other pedestrians pass by, waved at a few strangers and wondered what I was missing.
Then, when I returned to my building — a quaint movie theater from another era — I met a remarkable woman who rewrote my afternoon, this very column, and maybe, just maybe, my outlook on life.
Betty Pelletier, 89, of Woodstock, Va., was sitting alone on a bench outside my office eating a snack when I sat down next to her to say, "Hello." I learned she was returning home from a doctor's appointment and an errand at the opposite end of Main Street. She'd walked from one end of town to the other and back again.
I'd barely taken a seat when she said confidently, "Everything happens for a reason."
During the early moments of our 90-minute visit, I convinced myself that spending the time with the sweet woman would be good for her. But by the time we said, "Goodbye," I realized it hadn't been good for her — it had been good for me.
After the usual pleasantries, I learned that Pelletier moved to the area four years from Arlington, Va. The Florida native had been in northern Virginia for most of her adult life, working as a secretary and typist in Washington, D.C. Four years ago she moved to Woodstock to care for her former husband, a man she hadn't associated with in years. "There was no one else," she said. "And everyone deserves to be cared for."
Sadly, soon after she uprooted and planted herself in town, the man developed Alzheimer's and was checked into a long-term care facility. The arrangement was no longer necessary, but here she was to stay.
I turned to face her. "You know, Betty, not many people would do that."
"Oh, I don't know. Everything happens for a reason."
Pelletier spoke fondly of the man who still lives, but because of illness does not know her. She talked of his career driving tour buses, including a longtime gig driving the legendary Smokey Robinson. The two men became friends, and though her former husband wouldn't remember, she suspects Robinson would. The warm memory brought a smile to her face and mine.
My new friend shared with me the second love of her life and a long-distance relationship that survived the odds. Though he no longer lives, her memories of him are as crisp as the days they unfolded. They have two children she wishes she saw more often and two grandchildren she loves dearly.
Once, as she told a particular story, I interrupted her to clarify a point. "Well, if you'd just let me finish," she quipped.
Later during our conversation, two elderly women approached asking if we knew where a nearby beauty salon was located. My friend, not content to simply point and give directions, stood immediately and asked me to watch her things. "I'll be right back." She led the older of the two women by the arm, tenderly supporting her as they moved down the sidewalk. The side-by-side sight of the three women was almost poetic.
Pelletier returned five minutes later and picked up right where she'd left off.
We discussed a new bakery in town, her friends at the seniors' center and how much the facility and the people mean to her. We talked about books, history and our shared experiences of falling down the stairs from the second floor to the first. "Just a sprain and a bruise," she said with relief. "You?"
"I rode my plastic motorcycle down the stairs when I was 4." I pointed to the scar on the back of my head and she stifled a laugh, but not a smile.
Soon my daughters drove by and pulled over to say hello to their dad and a stranger sitting on a bench. I asked, "Would you mind if my daughter took a picture?"
My beautiful pal laughed and her eyes widened. "Without lipstick?"
Because I know an 89-year-old woman on a fixed income with no car or family nearby has few options, I insisted on giving Pelletier my cellphone number, my wife's number and my word that if she needed a ride to the doctor, the store or anywhere in between, we'd be there.
Before I left I asked this woman of a thousand stories if she would mind if I shared hers with my readers. After the predictable "no-one-wants-to read-about-me" response, she gave me three things she would want the world to know about a long life well lived.
"We should pray every morning."
"We should live each day like it's our last. You never know," she paused to watch a car pass. "You just never know."
"And last?" I wondered aloud.
"Like I said," she smiled. "Everything happens for a reason."

Utilizing New Tools to Stay Connected with At-Large Cherokee Nation Citizens
Cherokee Nation launches new website to assist at-large members.
Published May 9, 2016
Cherokee Nation citizens in at-large communities across Oklahoma and the United States are a vital part of our tribal government and are critical to our success. The Cherokee Nation has more than 330,000 citizens, and almost 205,000 of our enrolled citizenry live outside the tribe's northeast Oklahoma jurisdiction. It is important we keep all our citizens as informed and up to date as we can.
We recently launched a new website (www.cherokeesatlarge.org ) dedicated exclusively to connecting Cherokee Nation citizens residing beyond the tribe's 14 counties with information on federal and tribal programs and services. The new site features unique information for Cherokee Nation citizens on home loans and IHS health care options. There are details about higher education scholarships available to any Cherokee no matter where you live.
It's a good way for Cherokees to interact, participate and remain connected to our government. I believe our bond as Cherokee people can never be broken, whether you live inside or outside the jurisdictional boundaries. It is important that all citizens be informed of what is happening with the Cherokee Nation. We all share similar values, Cherokee values: a commitment to family and community and a respect for preserving our heritage and culture.
Many of our at-large citizens are involved with the nearly two dozen at-large Cherokee community organizations across the country. These groups make up the Cherokee Nation Community Association and are coordinated through the tribe's Community and Cultural Outreach department. The new website provides vital information on Cherokee community gatherings near you. These are the community groups we visit regularly to share news updates, photo ID cards and voter registration information.
In Oklahoma alone there are more than 90,000 Cherokee Nation citizens who reside outside our 14-county tribal boundary. Through our negotiated state compacts, all Cherokee Nation citizens in Oklahoma are eligible for a Cherokee Nation Hunting and Fishing license and Cherokee vehicle tags. The new website has information on both of these opportunities.
Improving communication at the Cherokee Nation has been a longstanding goal, and it's the reason we have launched an award-winning television show, "Osiyo, Voices of the Cherokee People," which can be streamed online at www.osiyo.tv. We also mail an award-winning magazine to all citizens called "Anadisgoi." Both the show and magazine profile exceptional citizens, current events and stories on Cherokee history and cultural preservation.
The new site is something I have talked about with folks across the country as I travel. There was a need and desire for more information, so we set out to fulfill it.
This administration is devoted to improving our tribe, protecting our families and creating more hope for the Cherokee people. The strength of the Cherokee Nation has always been its people. Passionate Cherokees are driving us forward and deserve every opportunity to better know and understand the tribe.
Bill John Baker is the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, headquartered in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.

Happy Saturday, everyone!
The countdown is on until Christmas so I thought I'd share a layout I created using the gorgeous December 2016 Embellishment Kit from Freckled Fawn with you today.
What I love most about the December Kit is that it's not just for holiday scrapping! I chose two photos of my daughter when she was a few years younger (taken during the summer) and layered two of the December journaling cards underneath them.
Next, I added lots of the gorgeous foil transparency flowers around it and a few of the felt flowers as well.
I used the cork alphas for my title and placed a couple of the chipboard stickers next to it. I love how beautiful the colors of the embellishments look with my photos and the patterned paper I chose to use from Crate Paper.
These kits are currently sold out, but you can grab the embellishments individually here. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks so much for joining me today!

The work you do will form part of our long-term efforts to rehabilitate patients and improve their quality of life.
You'll be based in the town of Nanyuki in central Kenya and live with a local host family. We encourage you to make the most of your free time and explore the country, local food, and traditions.

Anyone aged 16 or over can join
Is an Occupational Therapy internship in Kenya right for me?
Do you plan on pursuing a career in occupational therapy? Are you currently enrolled in a related course at university? Would you like to add practical work experience to your CV? Then our Occupational Therapy placement in Kenya is perfect for you!
During your internship, you will work alongside a qualified therapist. This will give you a great opportunity to observe the way they work, and we encourage you to ask questions and make notes. You may also get the chance to help with some practical work under supervision. This will add valuable skills and experience to your CV, and give you interesting points to talk about in applications or interviews.
To join this project, you need to have completed at least one year of studies in occupational therapy or a related field. Your work is supervised, and you can reach out to Projects Abroad staff at any time for support and guidance.
Our Occupational Therapy placements in Kenya are run year-round and you can join at any time from a minimum of two weeks. We encourage you to stay longer, so you can learn more and have a bigger impact on patients. Please be aware that the residential facility is closed in August, and from the beginning of November to the end of December.
What will I do as an Occupational Therapy intern in Kenya?
On this Occupational Therapy internship, there is plenty of opportunity for practical work and learning. Here are some of the tasks you'll help with:
- Work alongside a qualified therapist and observe the way they go about their duties
- Help assess patients and offer guidance to help improve their daily lives
- Do physical exercises, speech therapy, and training for daily life tasks, like dressing and grooming
Your work will focus on the following areas:
Work alongside a qualified therapist
For the duration of your Occupational Therapy internship, you will be shadowing an experienced local professional.
This means you will be watching the way they work with patients and learning from them as you go. This is a great opportunity to ask questions and make sure that you understand their treatment methods.
Help assess patients
While you will be learning from a qualified therapist, you will also get to help with patient assessments.
This will include discussing a diagnosis with local staff and fellow interns. Ultimately, you will work out the best course of action to treat the specific challenges faced by the patient. All of this will happen under the supervision of the local occupational therapist.
By showing enthusiasm and demonstrating knowledge and skills, you will soon be able to do some practical work yourself.
This might include helping patients with exercises that will improve their motion. You could also assist them with training for daily life, and help them work toward dressing, bathing, and grooming themselves. Finally, you could also do basic speech therapy with those who have mild impediments. You will continue working under supervision throughout. This is an excellent opportunity to gain occupational therapy work experience while in Kenya.
Where will I be working in Kenya?
You will be based in the town of Nanyuki, about 200km north east of Nairobi. It is a market town, where people from rural areas go so they can stock up on fresh produce, meat, and other essentials. The town is also the gateway to the Laikipia plateau, one of Africa's most important wildlife conservation areas.
You'll work at a local hospital or with special needs patients in a residential care centre. You will help treat patients of various ages, who have a range of special needs. These might include autism, cerebral palsy, and sensory integration dysfunctions.
A typical day as an Occupational Therapy intern in Kenya
Start your day with a hearty breakfast enjoyed around your host family's table. Then set off to the hospital or residential centre, using public transport or walking. Projects Abroad staff will accompany you on your first day to familiarise you with the route.
Your working day will start at 8:30am. For the first bit of the morning, you will help the local therapist do some basic administration and prepare for the day's sessions. From about 9:30am, you will accompany him or her on their first rounds of the morning. Use this time to observe their work and make notes for your own sessions later.
Between 12pm and 1:30pm, you will get an hour and a half's lunch break. If your host family lives close by, you can head home for lunch. Alternatively, you will enjoy a packed lunch at the children's home or hospital.
After lunch you can discuss assessments with the local therapist and your fellow interns. Together, you can decide on specific therapies for patients.
After this, it's time for the afternoon therapy shift. You can help patients with mobility exercises, skills development for daily life, or speech therapy. This will happen under the supervision of the local therapist.
The day ends at 3pm, after which you can head home or catch up with other interns.
Evenings and weekends are your free time to relax, explore, and learn more about Kenyan culture. Be sure to do some travelling with fellow interns, and check out the game reserves in the vicinity or take on a hiking trail or two.
What are the aims and impacts of our Occupational Therapy internship in Kenya?
There are two main aims of this project: to help develop your skills and to meet the needs of the local community.
We want to equip you with the knowledge and practical skills to pursue a career in occupational therapy. You'll work with occupational therapists at a local hospital or a residential care facility for people with special needs. You'll observe their work, and we encourage you to ask questions and take notes to learn as much as possible.
The hospitals we work with are overcrowded and therapists have to work long hours to get round to all their patients. As an intern with some training, you'll be an extra pair of helping hands. You can assist with exercises to increase motion, training in activities of daily living and speech training. This way, you'll help patients become more independent in their day-to-day lives.
We have identified five goals to work toward in our Medical Management Plan for Kenya. Occupational therapy forms a part of this. These are:
- Encourage an understanding of medical practices and promote an exchange of medical knowledge
- Improve the quality of healthcare provided to patients
- Improve access to basic healthcare for disadvantaged groups
- Improve hygiene standards
- Reduce the number of cases of malaria
Join our Occupational Therapy placement in Kenya and help us achieve these long-term goals, while gaining invaluable experience.
Management Plans
We set out the aims and objectives of our projects in documents called Management Plans. We use them to properly plan the work you'll do. They also help us measure and evaluate our achievements and impact each year.
Ultimately, our Management Plans help us make our projects better. This in turn means you get to be part of something that makes a real impact where it's needed. Read more about our Management Plans.
Measuring Our Impact
Our projects work towards clear long-term goals, with specific annual objectives. Every volunteer and intern we send to these projects helps us work towards these goals, no matter how long they spend on our projects.
Every year we take a step back and look at how much progress we've made towards these goals. We put together a Global Impact Report, which documents our achievements. Find out more about the impact our global community of volunteers, interns and staff make, and read the latest report.

It's iffy that 500 Republicans daily move to Texas
Texas Republicans who have long dominated statewide politics enjoy another advantage, the chairman of the Republican Party of Texas declared.

We do?

After the best dressed stars showed up at the VMA's, the worst dressed trailed not far behind. The worst dressed stars include:
She's spotted, it's floral, its dark and light, how many more elements can Miley Cyrus add to this outfit? At least it's a step up from her typical trashy look.
Deena from the Jersey Shore showed up and shined on the black carpet. Of course I love everything that's bedazzled, but showing up in a rainbow sequined dress is just plain ugly.
Kreayshawn tried to put together a playful look by wearing this sequin encrusted Mickey Mouse dress. Instead, she ended up looking a bright mess with her red sneakers, giant hoops, and ugly color blocked hair.
Leaving us speechless, and not in a good way, Nicki Minaj. Words just can't even describe this ensemble.
Next, Lady Gaga was a true disappointment when she didn't have any costume changes this year. After the unforgettable meat dress last year, it would have been hard to top. Not even wearing one fabulous outfit, Gaga showed up as Jo Calderone and let down lots of eager little monsters.
Although Tyler The Creator wore a snazzy leopard print hat, the rest of his outfit was not up to VMA standards. He showed up in a tye-dye cat t-shirt!
Finally, the guys from LMFAO showed up with the least amount of class. After seeing them, for obvious reasons, they're on the worst dressed list.

Rare-breed dog killing features on Crimewatch
A rare-breed dog that was strangled and dumped in a canal has become the first canine killing to be featured on BBC programme Crimewatch.
Two-year-old Troya, a Spanish presa canario, was stolen from her kennel on Christmas Eve and her body discovered more than three weeks later floating in a canal in Romiley, Stockport.
She had been hanged with a length of washing line and was found with a blue Aldi carrier bag over her head and secured around her neck with curtain wire.
A Spanish presa canario dog which was strangled and dumped in a canal
Her death is being investigated by both Greater Manchester Police (GMP) and the RSPCA and more than £2,000 is been offered to help find her killer.
A social media campaign lobbying Crimewatch's spin-off show Crimewatch Roadshow led to the programme launching the appeal on Friday which included a reconstruction of the theft.
The canine's owner, Anthony Taylor, 34, described Troya as his "best friend".
He told Crimewatch: "Everybody loved Troya, everybody. She was part of the family."
GMP officer Joseph Torkington also appeared on the programme, and called the killing "horrific".
Troya was taken in the early hours of December 24 2015 from her kennel behind Mr Taylor's home in Stockport. She was found floating in the canal on January 18, prompting the set-up of a Facebook page dedicated to investigate the death which has garnered more than 13,000 supporters.
Well-wishers raised money for a private autopsy that revealed the dog had been hanged or strangled.
Animal campaigner Chops Owen said it was the first time Crimewatch had featured a dog that had been deliberately killed.
Anyone with information should call Crimewatch on 0800 0468 999, text 63399 with "CW" and their message, tweet @BBCCrimewatch, or call the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018.
A Crimewatch Roadshow spokeswoman said: "In the eight years of Crimewatch Roadshow we have covered many animal-related appeals. All the cases we feature on the series are chosen on their merit in conjunction with the police."
Police are investigating the killing of the dog

University of Texas at Austin professor, Dr. Ron Matthews, received the Internal Combustion Engine Award (ICEA) from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in August 2009 at an awards ceremony in Lucerne, Switzerland. The ICEA is an annual award for lifetime achievement in stationary engine. He received $1,000 and a plaque.
Dr. Matthews received his B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from this department in 1971, his MS ME from Berkley in 1972, and a MPH in Public Health and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 1977, also from Berkley. He came to work at UT ME in 1980, where he established the combustion and engine research program. He currently serves as Faculty Advisor to the local chapter of The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), and advises the student research competions these students compete in, including Challenge X and Formula Racing. Dr. Matthews received the Arch T. Colwell Merit Award from the Society of Automotive Engineers for his work on the first use of fractal geometry to model the combustion process within a spark ignition engine. He was elected an SAE Fellow in 2002 and is currently serving on the Board of Directors of SAE International. His work on fractal engine modeling was selected for inclusion in the Smithsonian's permanent research collection.
From the ASME site, citation
The Internal Combustion Engine Award (previously the Diesel and Gas Engine Power Award) recognizes eminent achievement or distinguished contribution over a substantial period of time, which may result from research, innovation, or education in advancing the art of engineering in the field of internal combustion engines; or in directing the efforts and accomplishments of those engaged in engineering practice in the design, development, application, and operation of internal combustion engines.
An Interview with Professor Ron Matthews
ASME and SAE
ASME and SAE are both involved in automotive and engine research, but the areas of expertise do not overlap. SAE specializes in engines that move under their own power, engines found in cars, trucks, heavy equipment and airplanes. ASME focuses on the engineering of stationary engines as well as nautical engines. An example of an ASME researched engine would be one that is in natural gas pipeline compressors. These are very long pipelines and the technology is complex. SAE focuses its research on cars, trucks, aircraft and off-road equipment such as bulldozers. Both organizations have been in existence about 100 years. SAE helped the Wright Brothers with the technology needed to build that first airplane.
Dr. Matthews talks about Emissions Standards and Diesel Engine Design Issues, from an interview with Professor Matthews
Engine Research is an expensive research field, and at one time there were many such programs. However, in the 1960s, many universities dropped these programs because of the expense and the amount of space they required. UT ME never dropped the program, though. At that time, engineers thought that all the research that needed to be done on engine design had been already been done.
In the 1960s the first emissions standards laws were enacted, and suddenly there was a great need for engine research again. Currently, most research funding is in the heavy-duty diesel engine arena. Hybrid engine design is not very different from standard engine design, as these are smaller engines. Over the years, the emissions standards on cars and light trucks have gotten more stringent. Originally, engineers thought that the emissions from large trucks, because there weren't nearly as many of them as light trucks and cars, would not pose a problem to the environment. That turned out to be a false assumption because heavy vehicles spend more time on the road than light vehicles. Their high mileage matters.
Heavy-duty vehicles are defined as having a gross weight of 8,500+ pounds. Gross weight is the weight of the vehicle plus its load, such as a trailer. Half-ton trucks are considered light trucks, but three quarter ton pickup trucks and larger are considered heavy trucks, as are commercial vehicles including 18-wheelers. The automotive industry is dealing with the question of responsibly for lower emission standards compliance. In some vehicles, such as Peterbilt trucks, the buyer decides which engine is installed, making the problem of lower emissions design work much more complex, since emissions compliance design involves both vehicle and engine design. Emissions standards are changing rapidly and will soon result in a sudden squeeze on heavy vehicles. The last change in emissions standards was enacted in 2007, and Dr. Matthews anticipates another change this year. Vehicle manufacturers have been able to meet the 2007 standards without using after treatments, which minimize the danger of harmful exhausts. He doesn't believe it will be possible to do without using after treatments,. Read more about reducing admissions on globalspec.com.
Emissions compliance is closely tied to fuel efficiency. In the coming years, we will see more hybrids in all types of vehicles. Any vehicle that combines two or more sources of power that can directly or indirectly provide propulsion power is termed a hybrid. Most hybrid cars on the road right now are gasoline-electric hybrids, which derive some of their power from the braking action. When asked about how heavy trucks will be able to carry large loads using hybrid technology, Dr. Matthews noted that range will be a problem. It will be a drain on batteries, and cars will need better ones. Lithium-ion batteries are still not powerful enough to meet the Tier 4 emissions standards mandated by 2015.
Electric cars have been around since the beginning of automotive history, and twenty years ago pure electric cars were designed and tested in Arizona and California. The GM EV1 was available as a leased car from 1996-1999, but GM was only able to sell 800 of them. It was very expensive to make and continue to support parts and repairs. When California loosened its 0 emissions policy, the cars were discontinued and most destroyed, although the company is now on target to release the Chevy Volt, an electric hybrid, later this year. An organization called the U.S. Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) was established to develop electrochemical energy storage technologies which support commericialization of fuel cell, hybrid and electric vehicles.
Heavy-duty hydraulic hybrids generate high-pressure liquid and use that high pressure to generate torque to move the vehicle. When the driver applies the brakes, it generates high-pressure hydraulic fluid again, similar to an electric hybrid, but without using the battery. We will see this technology first in heavy-duty trucks, but don't know if it will prove practical in small vehicles. That will take more research.
Dr. Matthews and his students have done research on hybrid engines, as in the Challenge X competition which lasted four years and was completed in 2008. Some of his engine modeling designs have been widely used on light duty trucks and cars. His research has changed the way engines are currently designed so that they can be sold in the United States, which has the highest emissions standards in the world.

Animal Signs: Duck
In "Animal Spirit Guides", Steven Farmer writes that the appearance of a duck means it time to have fun and even get a little silly. He suggests Duck symbolizes the time of turmoil has passed and one can release any pent-up emotions that might have been suppressed during tough times. Farmer goes on to suggest the appearance of a Mallard Duck in particular, means you should pursue any new idea that comes to you. It's time to develop and pursue it into manifestation. Hmm....
Well, if you've been following along on this blog, this really makes sense as we move through the Full Moon into it's wanning phase. It's been a pretty intense time of emotional turmoil under the Leo Moon http://pixiedusthealing.blogspot.com/2012/02/full-moon-in-leo.html Now maybe it's time to move out of that emotional intensity and take a break. During that break from drama, perhaps we can move those projects along, letting go of the feelings, concerns, and turmoil that might have been holding you back from acting on and securing your goals.
I watched the ducks for awhile. It looks like it might be kind of fun to be a duck. They didn't seem as busy or industrious as some other creatures. They were kind of cruising around, going with the flow, talking to each other, not a whole lot of stress. I watched one guy in particular. He kept walking out on the ice until he got to the very edge. When he got close to the open water he stopped. As his weight stayed there for a few minutes, the thin layer of ice gave way and next thing he knew he was floating along. He kept doing this on different pieces of ice. He seemed pretty independent in this enjoyment, and I believe he really was enjoying it. He didn't seem frustrated at the lack of support from the ice, it looked like a fun game.
I watched a few ducks float around seeming to be in a direct collision course with each other, but at the last second, one of them would veer off just a little bit,and they would end up in the same direction. It too, looked like kind of an enjoyable game.
The smaller ones often seemed to tow behind the slipstream of the guys ahead, sometimes they crawled out of the water and had little naps on the ice. They don't seem very worried about safety, the struggle for food, or basic survival. It seems as though they as secure in the fact that they can get what they need and have some time to just float around enjoying the day as well. Hmm..
So it would seem to me that Duck energy really represents a balanced Root Chakra approach to life. Ducks seem to trust that their basic needs will be met and, having that sense of faith , they can relax and allow for some light-hearted fun. They don't buy into the idea that a storm is on it's way so they should hoard a bunch of food. They don't seem to be focused on the drought of past seasons when foot might have been a little lean. They just take what comes and when a new game, a new swimming hole, or a particularly juicy bulrush stem floats into view, they are ready to take advantage of that.
In "Sweet Shack & Bach Bar", http://pixiedusthealing.blogspot.com/2011/12/its-here-sweet-shack-bach-bar.html Samantha was experiencing some Root Chakra issues. Wise Woman served her Rock Rose, Sweet Chestnut and Clematis.
If you are so terrified of past events or future issues that you can't find the time or ability to allow yourself play time, Rock Rose might be helpful. I don't think the Ducks I was watching were having any less survival issues than other creatures in the wild, they just don't seem that worried about them. They accept the day for what it brings and so they make the time to play on the ice a bit, and venture towards the ledge, knowing that even if the ice gives way it's no big deal. They can swim.
Sweet Chestnut speaks to Root Chakra issues as well. We can get really caught up in issues and problems. We get all twisted and knotted up in the reasons why we can't do what we think we want to do. Our projects look too big, our goals too far out of reach, and our angst so great that we take ourselves to the limit of our endurance and beyond. Sweet Chestnut can help face problems with optimism and peace of mind. Perhaps if we took a few drops of Sweet Chestnut we could take a break from our own angst, go for a swim and see what the other side of the river looks like.
Duck energy is about the kind of productivity that comes when you are relaxed and in the moment. When you're open to new ideas and not panicked about where your next meal will come from, or not flying away in fear that stranger is out to get you, sometimes a few seeds or a bread crust or two just land on the rocks in front of you.
Ducks can fly away whenever they want to it would seem. But they are also skilled swimmers and great floaters. They seem pretty grounded. I wonder if some of them eat Clematis seeds? Clematis is the Bach Flower that can help you bring those great ideas and projects into manifestation. Clematis helps bridge the gap between dreaming up what you want to do, and bringing those ideas into your reality. It provides the balance to get your thoughts on paper.
As I watched the ducks, a silly, goofy, children's book idea floated into my mind. It features flowery bathing hats, synchronized swim teams, and independent ducks with unique dreams. No big issues, no huge morals, just an easy float on a sunny day....

I have been getting ducks in my back yard everyday for the past 4 weeks. It started with a male and female, then more males so we have had visits from 4 in total.It is a joy to watch them even though they don't do much! I have pulled out my sketchbook and done some quick sketches so I can use these in some project or other that I will develop.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing, I maybe need to get some clematis.

Website hosting architecture broadly falls into two categories: shared and non shared. This article deals largely with shared hosting systems. At 34SP.com shared servers are used to host our Personal, Professional Web Hosting and Reseller Hosting accounts.
Shared hosting refers to the instance of one server system, being used to host the websites for multiple end users. In many standard configurations (including ones in use at 34SP.com), shared hosting systems can happily support hundreds of end users. This approach can offer very low hosting costs to the end customer, as hundreds of clients contribute to the costs of the server hardware, the related network infrastructure and maintenance. As a result shared hosting is perfectly suited for personal websites and small business web pages.
The shared nature of these systems though does come with some drawbacks. Should a fault occur with the web serving system, all users on the shared system are affected. Moreover, individual users themselves may be the cause of these faults, by their own actions, mistakes, or even rare events (such as dramatic unexpected traffic spikes). When such a fault occurs the web server can fail, and all hosted users sites will stop loading.
While 34SP.com doesn't guarantee a particular uptime level on shared services we do strive for a gold standard. Most shared systems themselves (the actual server) run at 100% uptime over the month – hardware faults causing a total failure event are extremely rare. When faults do occur, they generally affect the web server element of the server. On our shared systems at 34SP.com we try to maintain a web server uptime in excess of 99.9%, as measured over a calendar month. That equates to roughly 43 minutes or so of allowable downtime per month, for www services. Quite often our shared hosting systems will easily exceed that 99.9% goal. 99.9% uptime generally suffices for the majority of sites. Sites with financial considerations should certainly investigate higher availability options though.
When 34SP.com identifies a server that is failing to reach our standards we take steps to monitor and correct any potential faults. Given the number of web sites, software installations, and user load though this can take time to diagnose. Indeed many faults need to be watched in real time by an attending engineer to correct in full. Thankfully such server wide, repeating failures are relatively rare. 34SP.com engineers have years of on the job experience, and the most common faults are well known and easily corrected.
Is shared hosting right for your site? This depends on the financial implications of your website being offline for extended periods. For the vast majority of users shared hosting makes perfect practical sense. The costs are low, and generally speaking, uptime is high.
34SP.com offers a range of non shared options for business sites, such as our Business Web Hosting account, VPS Hosting and Dedicated Servers – each one geared for increasingly higher levels of availability and performance. We are always happy to help suggest the most appropriate solution for your website. Simply email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for an honest, commitment free assessment and recommendation for your website.

Part II – The Situation
If you need to, go back and review yesterday's post.
But here is the kicker. (my opinion) Since the second class join the first class as part of the 144,000; and the 144,000 are numbered from October 22, 1844, now 167 years. Where does that leave you and me?
Just look at the hundreds of thousands of SDAs that have been exposed to this message, and have been tested by it, . . . and have been found wanting; most of them, or probation would have closed err this. Page 197 of the '58GC, is where God tells us the process.
The sealing angel, a figure of God's people on earth, comes to Christ and tells him that the saints are all numbered and sealed. That number can only be 144,000; for the rest are called "a great multitude, which no man could number."
I want to point your mind to some pages in a book now. I want you to think about this. You and I are created. We are now going to listen to the Creator as he gives us some information.
The setting is this, Israel was about to enter Cannan, and Balaam worked with the Midianites to seduce Israel from his spiritual position. Do you notice any parallels here? So that gets put down, and the armies of Israel destroy Midian, but capture and hold the women and children. But God had appointed them to be destroyed. Now read this.
Moses commanded the men of war to destroy the women and male children. … The Lord is regarded as cruel, by many, in requiring his people to make war with other nations. They say that it is contrary to his benevolent character. But he who made the world, and formed man to dwell upon the earth, has unlimited control over all the works of his hands; and it is his right to do as he pleases, and what he pleases, with the work of his hands. Man has no right to say to his Maker, Why doest thou thus? There is no injustice in his character. He is the ruler of the world, and a large portion of his subjects have rebelled against his authority, and have trampled upon his law. He has bestowed upon them liberal blessings, and surrounded them with everything needful; yet they have bowed to images of wood and stone, silver and gold, which their own hands have made. They teach their children that these are the gods that give them life and health, and make their lands fruitful, and give them riches and honor. They scorn the God of Israel. They despise his people because their works are righteous. "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works." God has borne with them until they filled up the measure of their iniquity, and then he has brought upon them swift destruction. He has used his people as instruments of his wrath, to punish wicked nations who have vexed them, and seduced them into idolatry. p. 328, Para. 1, [1SP].
A family picture was presented before me: A part of the children seem anxious to learn and obey the requirements of the father, while the others trample upon his authority, and seem to exult in showing contempt of his family government. They share the benefits of their father's house, and are constantly receiving of his bounty; they are wholly dependent upon him for all they receive, yet are not grateful, but conduct themselves proudly, as though all the favors they received of their indulgent parent were supplied by themselves. The father notices all the disrespectful acts of his disobedient, ungrateful children, yet he bears with them. p. 329, Para. 1, [1SP].
At length, these rebellious children go still further, and seek to influence and lead to rebellion those members of their father's family who have hitherto been faithful. Then all the dignity and authority of the father is called into action; and he expels from his house the rebellious children, who have not only abused his love and blessings themselves, but tried to subvert the remaining few who had submitted to the wise and judicious laws of their father's household. p. 329, Para. 2, [1SP].
For the sake of the few who are loyal, whose happiness was exposed to the seditious influence of the rebellious members of his household, he separates his undutiful children from his family, while at the same time he labors to bring the remaining faithful and loyal ones closer to himself. All would honor the wise and just course of such a parent, in punishing most severely his undutiful, rebellious children. p. 329, Para. 3, [1SP].
God has dealt thus with his children. But man, in his blindness, will overlook the abominations of the ungodly, and pass by unnoticed the continual ingratitude and rebellion, and Heaven-daring sins of those who trample upon God's law and defy his authority. They do not stop here, but exult in subverting his people, and influencing them by their wiles to transgress, and show open contempt for, the wise requirements of Jehovah. p. 330, Para. 1, [1SP].
Some can see only the destruction of God's enemies, which looks to them unmerciful and severe. They do not look upon the other side. But let everlasting thanks be given, that impulsive, changeable man, with all his boasted benevolence, is not the disposer and controller of events. "The tender mercies of the wicked are cruel." p. 330, Para. 2, [1SP].
I believe that this is where we are today. Massive numbers of the peoples of the world are doomed. They are children of wicked parents. They have been raised to hate God and religion and all spiritual things. They will never be converted.
I believe this is where most of the deaths occur in events such as the great tsunami of recent years, that wiped out 250,000 people on one shore. We have this testimony by God about Chicago.
How can the value of your houses and lands bear comparison with precious souls for whom Christ died? Through your instrumentality, these souls may be saved with you in the kingdom of glory; but you cannot take with you there the smallest portion of your earthly treasure. Acquire what you may, preserve it with all the jealous care you are capable of exercising, and yet the mandate may go forth from the Lord, and in a few hours a fire which no skill can quench, has destroyed the accumulation of your entire life; they lay a mass of smouldering ruins. This was the case with Chicago. God's word had gone forth to lay the city of Chicago in ruins. This is not the only city that will realize the visible marks of God's displeasure. He has made a beginning; but not an end. The sword of his wrath is stretched out over the people who have by their pride and wickedness provoked the displeasure of a just God. Storms, earthquakes, whirlwinds, fire and the sword will spread desolation everywhere, until men's hearts shall fail them for fear, looking for those things which shall come upon the earth. You know not how small a space is between you and eternity. You know not how soon your probation may close. p. 69, Para. 1, [26OT].
The Bible asks, "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
I believe there "may be," only a few voices over the whole earth, that just like Noah, most will stand alone.
In all probability, 99 percent of all SDAs you know will not make it. Satan has got them too busy trying to be like the world, too busy to ask, seek or knock. And so they are judged on what they could have had, that which was within their reach.
God Bless your study

There are literally a million experiences that we can have everyday of our lives, I know I do. Some teach lessons, some remind you that deep down inside you are human and still just a man.
Many ideas, thoughts, innovative strategies, business decisions, emotional, social desires etc keep happening everyday and when all of them add up to your average everyday routine, there are only two ways of dealing with it. Either you keep fighting, enjoying the moments, trying to find solutions to concerns or you eventually crack down under pressure. It's a human mind and there is only a certain level of pressure that it can take.
This again, differs from individual to individual. What one goes through on a daily basis and what he or she expects from life and all those around, is at times what tends to define how much they can take from those daily beatings that crop up midst the many smiles that one experiences too.
Some of the very important things that I have personally learned are that firstly, we cannot hold grudges about people and resentment about experiences. Simply because, the other person too has probably reacted a certain way because it was what they were going through at the moment, just like how we go through each emotion. Sometimes a small joyous decision or moment feels like a bliss of a lifetime and sometimes minor concerns and issues that crop up in our lives tend to take their toll on our minds that breaks us down too.
Life is all about second chances, but chances, without the question of asking WHY it happened. Rather, go ahead with the belief that this experience too has taught us how to deal with a new kind of pressure. Thus building a stronger bond and relationship than ever before between the two.
Sometimes we do and say things that we don't mean and most often than not, we sadly don't say things we actually mean.
So lets start the morning today with an idea and a sincere attempt to give life a second chance. Most importantly, give ourselves a second chance. Not to question why, but rather welcome any decision or experience even if it was bitter, back from the past into our lives again with a mere smile and a fresh start. Like I said, no questions asked.
Just enjoy the moment!
Have a nice day.

Experiencing High Resource Usage
ShaunB replied to Kernel009's topic in Malwarebytes Endpoint ProtectionWith it turned off it is basically like a simple anti virus application. And it depends solely on signatures I believe. Which is fine for us. Since every thing it has ever caught for us in the past... has been signature based. They are aware of the issue. When we submitted our performance data. They let us know they are working on it.
Experiencing High Resource Usage
ShaunB replied to Kernel009's topic in Malwarebytes Endpoint ProtectionUnder your policies... disable "Behavior Protection". That is what we did, all problems went away. You can also add exclusions for the apps you run... but this was easier. When we hear it is fixed... we will turn back on.
Experiencing High Resource Usage
ShaunB replied to Kernel009's topic in Malwarebytes Endpoint ProtectionWe will do that next time it happens. Thanks Just to add to this however. We had a user this morning having the issue. They were getting slugish performance. (scrolling, copy/pasting/etc) We opened task manager and I didn't see high CPU. However MB service would jump to 25% or so for a few seconds when it would happen. As soon as they rebooted everything was fine. So hopefully this catches it. But might be more then just a CPU issue. Since for us... it is not even that high all the time. More like it is holding things up.
Experiencing High Resource Usage
ShaunB replied to Kernel009's topic in Malwarebytes Endpoint ProtectionWe had it installed on servers. Until there was an issue where it pegged the CPU at 100% awhile back. Couldn't even remote to the machines. Decided then that we would keep it off anything that critical. Workstation performance has been on and off. Seems intermittent. However just today we had a user that said their machine was slow and unusable. We killed MB and performance was good again. (no scans running but MB was pegged at 25%) MB started back up right after and everything was fine.
Two Major Issues w/ Endpoint Protection
ShaunB replied to bbowman's topic in Malwarebytes Endpoint ProtectionWe have had the same issue last week. Described the same way from our users. Keyboard lag. Restarting the service seems to speed things up. It is pretty intermittent. For ourselves... these are POS machines. Very little installed. No other AV.
ShaunB started following HELP! No Fix For Endpoint Protection (SAAS) Platform - Memory Issue, Two Major Issues w/ Endpoint Protection, MBCloudEA.exe.Config corrupts and and 1 other
Post Update Pain
ShaunB replied to spnkzss's topic in Malwarebytes Endpoint ProtectionWe also had a couple users complain their computers locked up. In Add/Remove programs, on both computers... MB was shown as installed today. So I am guessing the update is causing it.
MBCloudEA.exe.Config corrupts
ShaunB replied to TimSmith's topic in Malwarebytes Endpoint ProtectionKinda the same issue here. We find the agent stops working and we can't restart it. Same error... side by side issue. (i am guessing corrupt config) We now run a script at login that checks that the agent service is running, if not. Email us. We then copy from C:\ProgramData\Malwarebytes Endpoint Agent\Cache\unloaded\Service to the C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes Endpoint Agent directory. This fixes it. We will probably have to make a script that automates this. Seems to happen frequently
After the issue a few months back (cpu going to 100%), where some of our machines had their databases/folders deleted to regain control. It seems the console and the clients are out of sync. When deleting items from quarantine, the client can't delete what it thinks no longer exists. 2018-04-23 08:08:02,614-05:00 [103] ERROR MBAMPlugin Error in calling DeleteQuarantineItems for clientID: Endpoint Agent:acbc4c49-0274-476e-a95b-0ce25470d31b, error code: CCErrorNoMatchingItem, winErrorCode: 0. So the items stay in the console quarantine forever Also, we have deleted a few clients, and still see their quarantined items are still in the console UI. Do these purge after some time? It would be good if when a client is deleted... all console/quarantined items are deleted also. (or purged after some time) Thanks
mavengroup - I found the problem... we are using a different path then default. Change %ALLUSERSPROFILE% to C:\ProgramData Should work then Cheers
Strange. Basically all it is doing is disabling the service, then kills the process, then deletes the db files in that directory... and then starts everything back up. I would confirm the directory is perhaps the same on your machine, and that it is successfully killing the service and removing those files. After about 10 minutes or so... the new database files are downloaded and all is good. Can always do one line at a time and step though it.
Same here. Nothing has worked. We have gave up using the cloud to fix it. A batch file seems to be the only way to fix it for us. But with 400 workstations? Well... it is not turning out to be a good weekend. Here is what works for us.... (we are having to use psexec to push the batch file out to the workstations one at a time) @ECHO Off sc config "MBAMService" start= disabled taskkill /f /im MBAMService.exe del /q /f %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Malwarebytes\MBAMService\*.mbdb sc config "MBAMService" start= auto sc config "MBEndpointAgent" start= auto net start MBEndpointAgent net start MBAMService
ShaunB posted a topic in Malwarebytes Endpoint ProtectionIs there an API or .NET reference available that we can hook into? We want to be able to communicate with the service (see status/start scans/etc) via our in-house apps. Does this exist for Endpoint Protection? Thanks.
We started using Endpoint Protection. (migrated from Kaspersky) It is amazing how much malware we had that Kaspersky just flat out didn't catch or care about. And we got hit with Emotet because of it. We got a trial set up last Thursday and it now seems like we are all good. However after using it for the last week. We have some feature requests (I am sure some of these are already in the works) Make the agent check in more and let us know what is happening. We have noticed with scheduled scans, they don't show up until finished. It would be nice to see what endpoints are doing at all times, rather than when something completes. We have had users say their computer is slow (And the endpoint overview shows nothing)... only to find out a scan from the night before is still running. Perhaps a current status field. Also, if a user starts a scan themselves... we also want to see that. We have also had an endpoint that installed the agent. But the MBAMservice was broken. Have the agent check in and report if it is working/not installed/etc. Again.... this could be in a status field. Endpoint Overview - Ability to see the IP an endpoint is connecting from - this would help us figure out if someone is at home, on the road, or in one of our branches. Endpoint Overview - The Endpoint boot up time Endpoints view - Ability to add/remove any of the data from the endpoint overview as a column - we can then hide or add depending on what we are looking for Endpoints view - Ability to see the amount of files in quarantine for the endpoint on the endpoint view (and sortable) Endpoints view - The currently logged on user in endpoint view (maybe even a list of last logged on users if you drill into overview?) Endpoint Overview - Ability to see the scheduled scans in the endpoint overview. (not history, just a list of all the schedules) We have had endpoints that didn't seems to run the scheduled scan. This would just give us confidence they are receiving the schedules. Perhaps even have a last run date next to it also. Quarantine view, Event View, etc. Ability to click on the Endpoint name and be taken to the endpoint overview page. Saves us having to copy paste the computer name into endpoints. (we have random computer names) Emails – Instead of the subject "Malwarebytes: A new event occurred" have it say the type of event… that way we don't have to always look at the email body to see what is going on… for example… "Malwarebytes: New machine registered" or "Malwarebytes: Threat Detected", etc. Thanks!

Medical Information
Following is a description of several common ear/nose/throat conditions including why they occur and common treatments.
Snoring and Sleep Apnea
These two conditions occur while asleep. In breathing, air travels past soft tissues within the throat such as the soft palate, uvula, tonsils and tongue. While awake, muscles around these tissues tighten, holding the soft tissues open. During sleep, these muscles relax. If the soft tissue in your throat is too large, or if the muscles relax excessively, you may suffer from snoring or sleep apnea.
In the case of snoring, your air passage may become partially blocked. As the air travels through a narrow passage, throat tissues can vibrate and rattle producing the snoring noise. Snoring can be very disruptive, leading to a loss of sleep by yourself or your partner.
Sleep apnea occurs when the air passage becomes fully blocked. For lack of air, the brain will awaken the body and tighten the muscles around your throat's soft tissue. Aside from disrupting sleep, this condition can lead to more severe health problems such as high blood pressure, heart attack or stroke.
In the treatment of these conditions, improvements can be made through simple lifestyle changes such as sleeping on your side, avoiding alcohol and certain medications, losing weight and exercising regularly.
A variety of surgical procedures can also improve these conditions. One such procedure called Uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP) involves removal of the uvula, part of the soft palate and the tonsils. Another procedure is called Laser-assisted Uvulopalatoplasty (LAUP) wherein a laser is used to remove part or all of the uvula and some of the soft palate. Lastly, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) involves the usage of radiofrequency energy to reduce the size of the uvula and nearby tissue.back to top
Sinus Blockage
Blockage of the sinuses can lead to several uncomfortable symptoms including continually runny nose, difficulty sleeping, congestion, fullness in ears, loss of taste, headaches and facial pain.
The sinuses consist of hollow chambers within the bones of the face and head. As a normal function, the sinuses produce mucus which drains into the nose. Problems occur when the drainage path becomes blocked. Such blockage can result in infection.
Multiple conditions can lead to sinus blockage. This can include colds which cause swelling and extra mucus. Allergies also cause blockage in that they irritate sinus tissues causing swelling. Prolonged allergies can lead to Polyps within the sinuses and nose. Polyps are sacs of swollen tissue which can grow large enough to block nasal passages. Lastly, a Deviated Septum (crooked) can block nasal passages. This condition is often the result of an injury.
Sinus problems are often treated with Endoscopy. This is surgery performed with a magnifying tool called an endoscope. The endoscope uses fiberoptic fibers to beam light into the nose and sinuses, giving the surgeon a clear view during the surgery.
Pending the specific sinus problem, Endoscopy includes a variety of procedures. This can include repairing a deviated septum by reshaping or trimming the cartilage and bone dividing the nose. Polyp removal can include a variety of techniques such as the usage of special powered instruments to safely remove polyps without harming surrounding tissue. Opening of the Ethmoid Sinuses is another process wherein the small air sacs that drain into the nasal cavity are opened. Lastly, the removal of the uncinate process may be performed such that mucus can drain.back to top
Cosmetic Issues
It can be said that there is no such thing as an "ideal nose", however, individuals can be unhappy with the appearance of their nose. In some cases they may feel it is too wide, too long, etc.
Through Rhinoplasty (aesthetic surgery for the nose), varying changes can be made. This can be accomplished in a number of ways including trimming or moving bone and cartilage and the removal of nose tissue. Generally any incisions are made on the inside of the nose such that scars are not seen.back to top
Post Nasal Drip
It is normal that the nose and throat produce mucus. This mucus serves many purposes including moistening and cleaning nasal membranes, filtering foreign matter and fighting infection. In some cases, it can feel as though the mucus is accumulating in the throat or dripping down the back of the nose. This sensation is called post-nasal drip.
Post Nasal Drip can be caused by excessive or thick mucus secretions. This can relate to a number of circumstances including colds and flu, allergies, cold temperatures, pregnancy, structural abnormalities, bacterial infections and more.
Another cause of Post Nasal Drip can be swallowing disorders. Swallowing disorders occur when the mouth, throat and food passage are not functioning properly. Overflow secretions can then spill into the larynx and breathing passages. Several factors can contribute to swallowing problems including age, stress, swelling and reflux.
The treatment of post nasal drip begins with a diagnosis and the treatments vary including antibiotics, antihistamines, decongestants or other prescriptions. In some circumstances, it can be a matter of changing personal habits such as diet, avoiding caffeine and increased water intake may help.back to top
Ear Ache
Inflammation of the middle ear (known as otitis media) can cause earaches and loss of hearing. This can be especially damaging to children as it may impair learning and delay speech development. The inflammation can also be dangerous as it can spread to nearby structures within the head, such as the mastoid.
Otitis media can occur during a cold, allergy or upper respiratory infection. An accumulation of fluid can occur behind the eardrum. The build up of pressurized fluid causes earaches, swelling, redness and difficulty hearing.
Treatment begins with an examination. Pending the nature of the ear ache, treatment may involve antibiotics and/or analgesic ear drops. In some cases, it may be necessary to perform a myringotomy. This entails a small surgical incision in the inner ear to promote drainage. Additionally, a ventilation tube may be placed in the incision, preventing fluid build-up.back to top

Seaweed is my new condiment of choice. Forget salt. Not only is The Cornish Seaweed Company making its own seaweed salt (a healthier, tastier alternative) but a scattering of sea salad flakes onto and into anything from soups to omelettes, risottos to mash, adds an umami oomph that I often crave from a slug of soy sauce or a teaspoon of Marmite.
A few pinches of seaweed in food is the culinary equivalent of juicing a lorry load of goji berries, diving into a swimming pool of acai or blitzing a thousand blueberries. I exaggerate somewhat, but the nutritional benefits of what is essentially a neglected 'weed' are enormous (and anathema to the over-priced health food industry).
For more on the under-rated nutritional benefits of this hugely versatile plant, go to saffronbunny at Cool Places to read my interview with Tim who owns The Cornish Seaweed Company.

Morning Ladies! This is the first post in our new "Coffee Date" series. This year we are focusing on Romans 8 and asked several women to write a post on the significance of that chapter in their lives. Today, Kris Bering is sharing a little about prayer. Her favorite coffee is a non-fat mocha with whip from Starbucks. Thanks so much, Kris!
Six years ago, my two daughters were required to memorize all of Romans 8 over the course of a school year. As a result, the three of us poured over the passage on an almost daily basis and it became a "go to" scripture for me. I was and am still amazed by how one chapter can be so empowering, yet tender.
One of my favorite verses is 8:26-27, "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God." How often I am overwhelmed in prayer, not really knowing what or how to pray. Perhaps my prayers would just be wild, disorganized ranting, but The Lord, in his compassion, gave me the Spirit. He intercedes for me. How comforting! Although I'm imperfect, flawed and will continue to be so, I have the Spirit to stand before the throne and plead for me. Thank the Lord!

A forensic pathologist is a physician who determines the cause of death in an individual who has died suddenly, suspiciously, unnaturally or unexpectedly. Forensic pathology is a subset of pathology, which is the diagnosis of disease through the study of body tissue and fluids. While a general pathologist studies the tissue and fluids of the living, the forensic pathologist studies that of the deceased.
A forensic pathologist can be thought of as a death detective or death investigator. He or she may be a medical examiner or coroner of a jurisdiction, or work with the medical examiner or coroner. Some forensic pathologists also choose to work in independent and private practice.
In most jurisdictions, there are five main legally recognized causes of death: natural, homicide, suicide, accident and undetermined. Forensic pathologists must therefore determine which of these legal causes apply to the deceased individual. The cause of death is determined through performing an autopsy on the deceased.
During an autopsy, a forensic pathologist thoroughly examines the interior and exterior of the body of the deceased. In addition to a visual examination of the body, small samples of tissue such as organs, skin, hair and fingernails may be taken for examination to check for signs of disease, drugs, or any substances that are present in the body. Once the results of any applicable tests have been received, the forensic pathologist completes a written report with the conclusion of the legal cause of death.
Forensic pathologists may also be called to testify in a court of law in regards to their findings of the cause and manner of death. As such, they are often crucial witnesses in court trials involving death, as their testimony and credibility can help determine a defendant's guilt or innocence.
Forensic pathologists must undergo approximately thirteen to fifteen years of post-high school education and training. After graduating from a four-year college and earning a bachelor's degree, the prospective forensic pathologist must attend an additional four years of medical school, followed by four to five years of residency. Lastly, an additional one to two years of specialized training in forensic pathology must be completed before the prospective forensic pathologist is able to take the necessary examinations to become certified as a forensic pathologist.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Esther Duflo on "Human Values and the Design of the Fight against Poverty"
While not really a book or article, this Tanner Lecture (similar to the popular TED Talks) given at Harvard University feeds on the points of Esther Duflo's book, Poor Economics. About two hours long, this lecture 'Human Values and the Design of the Fight Against Poverty' emphasize Duflo's book in an expedited version.
The question of free choice versus choices made by the government is addressed and discussed, along with alternatives, and what the results are. Which is the actual account of freedom, and do the wealthy have more or less freedom than the poor?
Esther Duflo is not the only speaker during this lecture, but the points she makes are the basis for those that follow, so listening to the other speakers help add to, rather than detract from, the issues presented. A good addition to the book, Poor Economics, this video is recommended to those who are interested in the question of morality, "Should we make decisions for the poor, or should we allow them to make their own decisions based on what they think is best?"
If we seriously desire for a corruption-free society, decent political atmosphere, has to put genuine commitment at our own end, as you know most of the communities (such as Bengali or Tamil) in this sub-continent are covered by 'Culture of Poverty' (hopelessness), irrespective of class or economic strata, lives in pavement or apartment. Nobody is ashamed of the deep-rooted corruption in this society at heart, decaying general quality of life, bad Politico-Governance, poor work place, weak mother language, continuous consumption of common Social Space. We love to become parents only by self-procreation (mindlessly & blindfold supported by lame excuses, driven by the very animal instinct) depriving their(the children) fundamental rights of a caring society, fearless & dignified living. Never search for other positive alternative gesture, adopting reasonable values for a passionate way of parenthood, deliberately stop giving birth to any child him/herself here till it improves up to the mark, co-parenting children those are born out of extreme poverty, instead. Introduce reasonableness in way of life among Commoners. If a pure freedom is desired, from vicious cycle of poverty, rotten capitalism need to involve ourselves in 'Production of space' movement, quality Politics would certainly come up. – SB, 16/4, Girish Banerjee Lane, Howrah -711 101, India.

The Late Murder in Tipperary
On Saturday last a private investigation was held at the court-house, Tipperary, relative to the murder of Edmond Allen at Shronell on the 16th of January.
Three witnesses were examined by Mr Boyd, S. C. P.
On Friday, Mr Worrall, County Surveyor, visited Shronell, and took a map of the locality of the murder. On the same morning there also visited it the two young lads who were taken up by the Crown immediately after the murder, and they pointed out to the authorities where they were standing when the murder was committed.
Michael Hourigan, who was arrested in February last charged with the murder, will be placed on trial at Clonmel assizes this month.

Mars is still a young star and has never had a sea. A close look at the surface of Mars shows that it is expanding. Carbon dioxide and water are generated as it expands. On the earth, as the expansion progresses, a large amount of water is produced and turned to the sea. Mars has not expanded much yet.
The planet that is currently closest to Earth is Venus. Venus is still expanding, and when it is twice the diameter of the present, it will be calculated to be 1 atm. A lot of water will appear when the temperature drops.
